Abdihakim Amin Essa, Minneapolis man, charged with felony voting fraud - Washington Times
Abdihakim Amin Essa, Minneapolis man, charged with felony voting fraud - Washington Times:
MINNEAPOLIS — Hennepin County prosecutors have charged a 22-year-old Minneapolis man with 13 felony counts of voting fraud.
Abdihakim Amin Essa allegedly signed as witness for 13 people casting absentee ballots last year when he was not authorized to do so. A criminal complaint told campaign workers he signed his father’s name because he wasn’t a U.S. citizen, a requirement to witness absentee ballots.

Elizabeth Warren's 'Medicare for All Calculator' Claims Everyone Saves
Elizabeth Warren's 'Medicare for All Calculator' Claims Everyone Saves:
The “Medicare for All Calculator” provided by Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) campaign fails to give realistic or detailed answers, claiming that her program benefits the user no matter which answers they provide.
Warren released her $52 trillion Medicare for All proposal on Friday, which she says will not require a tax hike on middle class Americans, despite the fact it will harm workers in the form of suppressed wages, as Breitbart News reported.

Vote Harvesting a Recipe for Coercion and Election Fraud | The Heritage Foundation
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Vote harvesting occurs when third parties — like campaign workers — collect absentee ballots from voters and deliver them to election officials.
- Allowing individuals other than the voter or his immediate family to handle absentee ballots is a recipe for mischief and wrongdoing.
- Giving third parties who have a stake in the outcome of an election unsupervised access to voters and their absentee ballots is not wise.

The U.S. Has the Fattest Poor People in the World. Why? | Intellectual Takeout
"...A 2015 report commission by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that the U.S. “has the fattest kids by a wide margin and is tops in poor health for teenagers.”
...Observing this fact aloud is not considered politic.
For example, a few years ago British PM Anna Soubry, who served in the Department of Health, came under fire for observing that government policy and “an abundance of bad food” were causing an epidemic of fat children and low-income people in the UK.
...one wonders if public spending is what is partly fueling the obesity epidemic.
...The program (then called the Food Stamp Program) was launched in 1964 after a three-year pilot program, but it did not go nationwide until 1974, at which point participation reached almost 14 million.
What’s interesting is that government data reveals this is almost precisely the same year America’s obesity rise began..."

Canada denies home healthcare to ALS patient, pays for assisted suicide instead - The Christian Post
Canada denies home healthcare to ALS patient, pays for assisted suicide instead - The Christian Post
"The family of a Canadian man says the government-run healthcare system failed their son who felt his only option was to die by physician-assisted suicide after his requests for home healthcare were denied.
Forty-one-year-old Sean Tagert died on Aug. 6 after Vancouver Coastal Health, a publicly-funded healthcare provider in British Columbia, refused to cover the 24-hour in-home healthcare his doctor said he needed, the CBC reported earlier this month.
...Tagert, who was diagnosed with ALS in March 2013 at age 36, had already wiped out his savings to pay for modifications to his home to accommodate a power wheelchair and a mechanical sling to help him get in and out of the shower..."

Must read!!----The real reason for the Iran hostage crisis, 40 years later
"On Nov. 4, 1979, radical Iranian students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, ultimately holding 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days.
I covered the incident in detail in Dancing with the Devil, a history of U.S. diplomacy with rogue regimes, utilizing not only American sources but Iranian ones as well.
Bottom line, the reason why the hostage crisis occurred, and why it lasted so long was a tragedy of errors.
Too often, the Islamic Revolution and the embassy seizure are conflated in the American mind, but the reality is they occurred more than nine months apart.
It is essential to understand why Iranian radicals attacked the embassy in November 1979 rather than the previous February when revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned and ended the shah's rule.
The immediate spark presaging the revolution was an ill-timed handshake...
...What transformed the crisis into something that paralyzed America for more than a year and ultimately brought down the Carter presidency was Carter’s knee-jerk reluctance to utilize military force coupled with his National Security Council Iran aide’s loose lips."

The Deadliest Lynching in US History Was NOT Against Blacks, it Was Against Italian-Americans - The Red Elephants
"While the media freaks out about Trump using the word ‘lynching,’ calling him insensitive to the struggle of blacks in America, I’d like to remind you that history matters.
Anyone who isn’t sub 90 IQ knows that the deadliest lynching in American history was against Italian Americans, and there is historical consensus about this...
What Happened?
Commissioner David Hennessy – a police chief in New Orleans – was ambushed and killed by four men near his home in October 1890.
It is thought that with his dying words, he blamed the attack on Italian immigrants.
A large Italian community had moved to the city after the civil war and the abolition of slavery, to take up jobs that had formerly been done by slaves.
Following Hennessy’s death, officials rounded up Italian immigrants – according to some reports, they apprehended thousands..."

"...it seems reasonable to wait it out until we know for sure."---Michael Smith
Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith shared a link.
"Saw today where 11,000 scientists say we have to reduce world population to survive.
If we do nothing, they say people will die.
They say we need to give up the power of fossil fuels or we're going to die.
But they also say if we do nothing, we're going to die.
They say we must spend billions to stave off most of the global climate catastrophe.
But they also say we must spend billions to survive if we do nothing.
If you look at the costs of the Green New Deal and the life and economic changes it demands, in terms of economic and human costs, its about 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
If the costs are roughly the same to either deal or not to deal with a proposed "existential crisis" that is unfalsifiable, it seems reasonable to wait it out until we know for sure."

"Welcoming Schools"-Yes, they are coming for YOUR children!-----Fans of Best of the Web Today
Fans of Best of the Web Today---Michael Smith
"We have a hotly contested issue here in my little town.
It's the "Welcoming Schools" program that is being implemented at one of the elementary schools in the system.
This is a program that is being sold to the public as simply an "anti-bullying" program but from their own website, there is this:
"HRC Foundation's Welcoming Schools is the nation's premier professional development program providing training and resources to elementary school educators to embrace family diversity, create LGBTQ and gender inclusive schools, prevent bias-based bullying, and support transgender and non-binary students."
Notice the use of the terms "embrace", "create", and "support".
Of the four objectives of the program, only one has anything to do with the prevention of bullying - and it is pretty clear what kind of bullying the prevention is directed toward.
The website is filled with LGBTQ propaganda tools to be used in elementary schools..."
