Why Socialists Are More Materialistic Than Capitalists | Intellectual Takeout
"...some cultures will favor capitalism and practice it better than others.
A spiritual culture—Confucian, Protestant, etc.—is more likely to favor capitalism because it finds deep and lasting value in work, a value that goes beyond the material fruit it yields.
A materialist culture, on the other hand, will be more likely to reject capitalism because it will be more likely to ignore or reject the spiritual fruit work offers, and instead focus on inequalities in material outcome.
To sum it up (and to paraphrase Malloch and MacMillan), spiritual cultures will thrive under capitalism because they will embrace a powerful idea: work is spiritual..."

Tucson Voters Overwhelmingly Reject Sanctuary City Proposal | The Daily Caller:

In a major defeat for illegal alien advocates, voters in Tucson, Arizona, overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to designate it as the state’s one and only “sanctuary city.”
Tucson voters on Tuesday resoundingly opposed an initiative, known as Proposition 205, that would have given sweeping protections to illegal aliens, and prohibit local law enforcement from working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. At the close of the polls, over 71% of voters rejected the measure.

Harriet Blows Away Democratic Racial Myths

Harriet Blows Away Democratic Racial Myths
"History, someone once said, is a lie agreed upon, and nowhere is that more self-evident than in accounts of America’s racial history as told by Democrats. 
Republicans are the party of racism and slavery when the historical record shows just the opposite to be true.

As Thomas Sowell notes, Democrats value black votes but not black voters.

Democrats need black voters to be fearful, angry, resentful and paranoid. Black votes matter. If Republicans could get 20 percent of black votes, the Democrats would be ruined.

That is what Democrats are terrified of. 
That can only happen if blacks are denied the truth about their past, present, and future. 

• It is Democrats who owned the slaves, founded the KKK, and wrote the Jim Crow laws. 
• It is Democrats who stood in the schoolhouse door and still do, opposing school choice. 
• It is Democrats who turned on the fire hoses and unleashed the dogs. 
• It was Democrats who blocked the bridge in Selma. 

A higher percentage of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act than Democrats 
The improvement of black lives under Trump and a free market economy is no mirage but a portent of things to come that has the Democratic Party running scared..."

Taylor: Ukraine Unaware of U.S. Hold on Aid During Call, No Quid Pro Quo

Taylor: Ukraine Unaware of U.S. Hold on Aid During Call, No Quid Pro Quo:

U.S. diplomat Bill Taylor told impeachment investigators last month that Ukraine did not know the U.S. had temporarily frozen aid at the time of the July 25 phone call, making quid pro quo impossible, transcripts released Wednesday revealed.
Taylor’s October 22 depostion behind closed doors suggests Trump did not threaten to withhold aid during the infamous July 25 call between him and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky that ultimately triggered the impeachment inquiry.

Fascinating-----Japan's General Staff Office Knew About Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic Bombing in Advance and Did Nothing, According to 2011 NHK Documentary | EXSKF

(Special Post for August 15 - Part 1) Japan's General Staff Office Knew About Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic Bombing in Advance and Did Nothing, According to 2011 NHK Documentary | 
"There is an NHK documentary that was aired...August 6, 2011, on the anniversary day of Hiroshima atomic bombing...
...quotes the NHK documentary's announcement from two years ago, which says that the top officers of Japanese imperial army knew in advance the impending US attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and did not do anything.
Atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been described (at least in Japan) as "beyond expectation" (just like the Fukushima nuclear accident) and "surprise attacks" with no pre-warning by the US, who used to dump leaflets in Japanese from the planes to warn civilians of impending attacks.
But NHK says the top military officers in imperial Japan knew, and did nothing. The military essentially was the government during the war..."

What is worse? A crippled leg or a crippled mind?---THE DAILY GLOBAL WARMING HOAX REPORT

THE DAILY GLOBAL WARMING HOAX REPORT--Brian E Erwin--Stand for Climate Truth

"In the late 1960s, I traveled to South Africa. I saw children with their legs bound to purposely turn them into cripples for life, presumably so they would make money from donations.

Today, I see children in America and other countries with their minds bound to purposely turn them into mental cripples for life, presumably so they will support votes for a political cause that in the end will destroy their own country.

These children have suffered mind-warping child abuse.

This abuse has caused them mental and physical harm.

What is worse? A crippled leg or a crippled mind?

Those born after about 1995 have been severely harmed.

Their teachers, media, and government have programmed them from early ages to believe human CO2 is destroying their world.

Their teachers have used fear to make them believe.

Fear is known to be the most permanent way to program children’s minds to believe anything.

Their teachers have molded these children into a climate alarmist cult that rejects true science.

Once inside the cult, the children can no longer think for themselves.

They become servants of the BORG that controls them.

The young people that become climate alarmists have never been taught true science.
For example, how many young people can understand the following simple science?

Climate alarmists make four invalid claims:

1. Human CO2 has caused all the increase in atmospheric CO2 above 280 ppm.
2. Increased atmospheric CO2 causes global warming.
3. Global warming causes bad stuff to happen.
4. Therefore, human CO2 causes bad stuff to happen.

Let’s focus on claim #1. Here is why it is wrong:

• Simple physics shows that human CO2 causes about 18 ppm of today’s 410 ppm level of atmospheric CO2, while natural CO2 causes 92 ppm.
• Human CO2 is insignificant to climate.
• By contrast, the IPCC claims that human CO2 causes 130 ppm of today’s 410 ppm, while natural CO2 causes 280 ppm..."

'Climate' activists seek to ditch polar bear pics as growing populations defy 'emergency' narrative - The American MirrorThe American Mirror
"Polar bears are out, and pictures of people in misery after natural disasters and choking on smog are in.

The suggested shift what “journalists” should focus on when covering the so-called “climate emergency” comes from The Guardian’s picture editor Fiona Shields, who argues “we need new imagery for new narratives.”

There’s one other convenient benefit: Polar bears are thriving in the changing climate, an inconvenient truth that contradicts the doom-and-gloom narrative promoted by climate alarmists.

“We know, from years of experience, that people love polar bears and pandas, so it is easy to see how these appealing creatures have become the emblems for the topics of endangered species and what we previously termed as global warming,” Shields wrote.

...“These images tell a certain story about the climate crisis but can seem remote and abstract – a problem that is not a human one, nor one that is particularly urgent.”...

25-year FBI vet blasts leadership over 'unheard of' alterations to Flynn interview - WND:

For seasoned FBI vets, who typically want to stay away from bashing the bureau, the case of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn presents a difficult challenge.
It puts their desire to not talk negatively about the nation's top law enforcement agency to the test.
James A. Gagliano, a 25-year FBI veteran who currently teaches at St. John's University, faced that situation.

Newly Elected Virginia Senator Had Been Jailed for Having Sex with Teenager | News and Politics
"In 2014, Joe Morrissey, then a 57-year-old delegate to the Virginia General Assembly, plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and was sentenced to 12 months in jail (with six months suspended) because of a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old office assistant at his law firm.

On Tuesday, he won his election to the Virginia Senate.

 I'll give you one guess what his political affiliation is.

That's right, he's a Democrat. 

And he won his election with more than 60 percent of the vote.

Was it a bald-faced lie? Or just a blackface one?
Either way, Donald Trump Jr. caught the harpies on “The View” in a weak spot Thursday during a heated discussion on ABC’s talk show for shrill liberals. He defended his father, President Donald Trump, by bringing up some of “The View” co-hosts’ own more embarrassing moments in public.
And Joy Behar, the shrillest of the shrill, got the worst of it.

Total disaster!-----4 Wayne State board members vote to fire President Roy Wilson

4 Wayne State board members vote to fire President Roy Wilson:
"The four Wayne State University board members feuding with President Roy Wilson voted to fire him at the end of a committee meeting Monday, but, like most items at the school, whether the vote was legal and binding depends on which side of the dispute is talking.
"There is no legitimacy to the rumor that the president has been fired," the university's administration said in a statement.
..."Even had there been an executive committee meeting, any votes taken would need to be ratified in a public board meeting and five votes are required.
President Wilson remains steadfast in his commitment to leading Wayne State."
It's unclear what will happen next."

Don Surber: Trump will lead the NYC parade he saved

Don Surber: Trump will lead the NYC parade he saved
"In August 1995, organizers for the annual Veterans Day Parade in New York City looked at how much money they had three months before the big day.
$1.21.
The New York Times reported, "A request to airlines to donate blankets for aging veterans was turned down because logos might not be visible on television."
Wow.
The Times reported, "Then Donald Trump, a non-veteran, agreed to throw in $200,000 as well as raise money from his friends, in exchange for being named grand marshal."
In short order, they had $2.4 million, saving the parade and the city's honor.
On Veterans Day 1995, United Press International reported, "More than 500,000 people jammed the sidewalks of Manhattan's Fifth Avenue Saturday to watch three generations of veterans march in the Nation's Parade.
The crowd cheered as 25,000 veterans marched in one of the last national events marking the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II.
..."'Donald Trump saved the parade,' said parade director Tom Fox, himself a Vietnam veteran. 'We had asked for donations from 200 corporations, and none of them came through,' he said.
...24 years later, hounded by politicians and high taxes, President Trump has moved to Mar-a-Lago.
But he'll be back on Monday in the city he saved to lead the parade he saved.
The Military Times reported, "President Donald Trump will mark Veterans Day this year with a speech at the start of the New York City Veterans Day Parade, which would be the first time a sitting president has attended the event..."
