Who funds these "Youth Climate Councils"?---Thousands pledge not to have children until action is taken on climate change
Thousands pledge not to have children until action is taken on climate change"WKBW — No future, no children.
That's Emma Lim's,18, pledge , and it's a message that's spreading.
She's vowing not to have kids until governments across the world take action on climate change.
"It came about out of the fear that we feel when we think about the future and it's meant to be a plea for action and just an expression of that fear," said Lim.
...Sophia and Valerie are two of the approximately 20 teens that make up Western New York's Youth Climate Council.
...The group's biggest goal is to get Erie County to declare a climate change emergency, over 50 counties and local municipalities across the U.S. officially declared one...

AP Reporting Now Being Funded by Left-Wing Orgs | Frontpagemag
"The media already has a major credibility problem.
Its political biases are obvious.
But increasingly the media is being directly funded by activist lefty foundations.
The last time this became a major story was when NPR took funding from a pro-Iran deal group to report on Iran.
This though is a more pervasive problem with the Associated Press' reporting being compromised through lefty foundation funding.

The last time this became a major story was when NPR took funding from a pro-Iran deal group to report on Iran.
This though is a more pervasive problem with the Associated Press' reporting being compromised through lefty foundation funding.
And it's right there in AP's press release as the news organization fails to report where its money is coming from.
The Associated Press, through an unprecedented collaboration with Report for America, will bolster its 50-state presence with the addition of 14 statehouse reporters, providing local newsrooms with essential accountability journalism and state government coverage. Report for America, an initiative of The GroundTruth Project, will help fund the 18-month positions and recruit the journalists, who will begin reporting in June 2020.The addition of 14 reporters underscores AP’s wide-ranging efforts to address the local news crisis head-on, infusing significant resources at a time when many local newsrooms are forced to make tough decisions about coverage priorities, and when critical decisions — from gerrymandering to gun regulations — are made at the state level.
Gerrymandering and gun regulations. Issues that lefty activists would, shall we say, be most interested in.

The American economy grew at a faster pace this summer than estimated earlier.

Parents Protest Indiana School District Allowing Children To Use Bathrooms According to "Gender Identity" ⋆ Activist Mommy"...While virtually no public space is free from transgender tyranny, public schools are among the worst offenders as they put their female students at risk by allowing gender-confused male students to use these girls-only spaces if they simply “identify” as girls.
One father in Indiana, after learning that daughters’ school district had adopted such a policy, is fighting back.
“It has been confirmed by both Manchester Elementary Principal Korus and Superintendent Dr. Gremaux that this is happening NOW,” reads a petition by Nate Gephart, a self-described angry father of four daughters in North Manchester School system.
“Boys can now go to the bathroom with your daughters. And yes, girls… can now go to your son’s bathroom.”...

Why the Left Went Berserk After William Barr’s Notre Dame Speech | The Heritage Foundation
Why the Left Went Berserk After William Barr’s Notre Dame Speech | The Heritage Foundation:
Rarely does a U.S. attorney general get such blowback for a non-televised speech at a university. Yet that’s what happened last month to Attorney General William Barr.
On Oct. 11, Barr gave a speech at Notre Dame Law School that began with the unremarkable observation that “[f]rom the Founding Era onward, there was a strong consensus about the centrality of religious liberty in the United States.”
By the time he finished that speech, left-wing writers were pounding their keyboards with hair-on-fire indignation. Here’s what Barr said that got them so worked up.

We don’t think anything can beat the ACLU’s “conversation starters” (for example, “My pronouns are …”), but The Atlantic is giving it a shot with this take on “how to talk about the truth and Trump at Thanksgiving.”

Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation | Intellectual Takeout
Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation | Intellectual Takeout"Thanksgiving is a quintessential American holiday.
It is a holiday that in many ways requires some sense of the supernatural – whether we care to acknowledge it or not.
Below you will find our first President’s proclamation of Thanksgiving in which his sense of the hand of Providence upon the American Republic is quite clear. Indeed, his mixing of church and state, of belief and practice is undeniable.
When you read it, consider the tone, humility, and outlook of President George Washington and ask yourself if any of our current leaders match him.
It is, for me, a breath of fresh air, a reminder that while our Founders had many sins, they were at the same time driven to seek the good, the true, and the beautiful.
They were deeply rooted in Western Civilization and understood the symbiosis between belief and practice.
For those who would argue that the Founders believed in a firm separation between church and state, a division of belief and practice, this document is a challenge..."

Thanksgiving, Socialism, and Free Enterprise | International LibertyThanksgiving, Socialism, and Free Enterprise
"...But capitalism had to be learned.
One of the first European settlements in North America, the Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts, was based on socialism.
And it was real socialism, with common ownership of the means of production.
Unsurprisingly, it was not a rousing success.
Indeed, it was a miserable failure.
Here’s Larry Reed’s analysis of what happened.

"In this partisan environment, people were quick to judge President Donald J. Trump’s reinstatement of anchors to my brother, Special Warfare Operator Chief Edward “Eddie” Gallagher.
Out of the woodwork came former military attorneys, indignant Pentagon officials and your typical Washington establishment types.

Their views were mainly the same.
The president’s actions were a moral hazard!
What message will it send our troops?
What of good order and discipline?
I have one question for these people: Where in the hell were you the past year and a half?
Eddie’s case and court-martial trial revealed a massive cancer within the military justice system, doing irreparable damage to troop morale that may last decades.
I didn’t hear a damn thing from these harbingers of moral decency when that was exposed.

- Where was their outrage when the Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents dragged my brother’s kids in the street at gunpoint in their underwear? (A fact NCIS denied to this very publication until under oath admitted that, yes, they did drag my nephews nearly naked into the streets of San Diego when Ed wasn’t home).
- Where were these critics when investigators admitted Eddie’s entire pretrial imprisonment was based on a lie, forcing him to spend eight months in a sex offender brig for nothing?..."

KLAVAN: CNN Actually Broke A Story About The Deep State. | The Daily Wire
The IG report is coming out. Now, this is the interesting thing, because this entire impeachment charade has been to mask the malfeasance — I have now used the word “malfeasance” twice in one show, which is a record, I think — of the Obama administration. The scandal-free Obama administration, which spied on Donald Trump.

Thanksgiving for Dummies...Sorry, I Mean College Professors
"As every contemporary school child knows, the first Thanksgiving took place in 1621, when our Pilgrim forefathers took a break from slaughtering Indigenous Peoples to invite them to dinner and infect them with smallpox, before embarking on their mission to fry the planet so that the world would end on Jan. 22, 2031...
Consider this description of the Pilgrims' treatment of the Indigenous Peoples:
"They were the worst of conquerors. Inordinate pride, the lust of blood and dominion, were the mainsprings of their warfare; and their victories were strained with every excess of savage passion."
You've probably guessed -- unless you are an American college student -- that that's not a description of the Pilgrims' treatment of Indigenous Peoples at all.
It is a description of some Indigenous Peoples' treatment of other Indigenous Peoples, provided by Francis Parkman, the world's foremost Indian scholar.
It was Indians, not Pilgrims, who let out the "Mohawk war-cry" that made the blood run cold.
This is why the Wampanoag had a lot to celebrate that first Thanksgiving.
They were delighted to have such excellent (European) allies against the terroristic Iroquois and Narragansett.
The Pilgrims also had much to be thankful for.
Of more than 100 passengers aboard the Mayflower, only 44 survived the first winter, felled by scurvy, malnutrition and the bitter cold.
Even the ones who made it did so largely thanks to the friendly Wampanoag, who shared their food with the Europeans and taught them how to till the land.
...The warm relations between Pilgrims and the (mostly) gentle Algonquins doesn't fit the White Man Bad thesis that is the entire point of all history taught in America today.
In fact, as any sane, reasonable person can probably surmise: Some white men were kind, and some were cruel.
Some Indians were neighborly -- and some were bloodthirsty killers.
...Before the first European stepped off Mayflower, the Iroquois' genocidal wars against their fellow Indians had already depopulated large parts of New England.
..."Northern New Hampshire, the whole of Vermont and Western Massachusetts had no human tenants but the roving hunter or prowling warrior," Parkman writes.
The irony of the moron's version of Thanksgiving is that the brave and honorable attributes of the American Indian are drained from all the PC stories.
In the made-up history, Indians are only pathetic.
By contrast, the true story told by Parkman shows both the savagery and superstition, but also the courage and honor.
Thus, for example, the Hurons "held it disgraceful to turn from the face of an enemy when the fortunes of the fight were adverse."
As the Indian captive of the Iroquois was being tortured alive, Parkman reports, he raises his voice in "scorn and defiance."
How's that for machismo?
That's the reason we name our sports teams and military armaments after Indians.
It's a tribute to their honor, intelligence and bravery..."
