CNN Aims to Sink Sanders in Favor of Documented Fabricator Warren

CNN Aims to Sink Sanders in Favor of Documented Fabricator Warren:

CNN appears to be taking the word of a Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), a candidate who has a history of fabricating key details of her life, and a point that boiled over after moderators of Tuesday’s debate demonstrated a clear bias against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
The network came under fire Tuesday night after moderators demonstratively favored Warren over Sanders, repeatedly, during the Democrat debate in Iowa. It hit a boiling point after CNN’s Abby Phillip posed Sanders’ alleged comments, about a woman not being able to win the presidency, as fact.

Plant the bug. If you lose, expose the bug. Get a new election?-----Georgia election server showed signs of tampering, expert says

Georgia election server showed signs of tampering, expert says
"BOSTON — A computer security expert says he found that a forensic image of the election server central to a legal battle over the integrity of Georgia elections showed signs that the original server was hacked.
The server was left exposed to the open internet for at least six months, a problem the same expert discovered in August 2016. 
It was subsequently wiped clean in mid-2017 with no notice, just days after election integrity activists filed a lawsuit seeking an overhaul of what they called the state’s unreliable and negligently run election system.
...Lamb said the evidence suggests an attacker exploited a bug that provided full control of the server..."

Trump strategy redirects $7.2 billion for border wall - WND

Trump strategy redirects $7.2 billion for border wall - WND:

One of President Trump's first campaign issues was securing the nation's southern border.
However, Democrats have blocked most of his attempts to direct federal money to the building of barriers.
But now it appears things are moving forward. Armed with recent funding bills in which Democrats agreed not to prohibit redirection of funds, he's announced plans to redirect $7.2 billion from the Pentagon, reported the Washington Post.

Trump has had a lot of policy successes. You just don’t hear about them. - The Washington Post

Trump has had a lot of policy successes. You just don’t hear about them. - The Washington Post
"Arrests for illegal border crossings into the United States dropped again last month, the seventh consecutive month they have declined. 
The fact you probably haven’t heard about this in the media is likely because it is a big win for President Trump — and that’s one reason why so many Trump backers have tuned the media out.

• The migration saga started last summer. 

...Trump acted. 
He announced he would levy tariffs on goods from Mexico unless that country did more to stem the flow of Central Americans seeking asylum in the United States. 
The move was widely condemned by the usual suspects, but once Mexico submitted to Trump’s demands, attention moved elsewhere.
It turns out that the critics were wrong. 
Fewer than 33,000 people were arrested at the southwest border in December. 
That’s not only 100,000 fewer people than were arrested in May right before Trump acted; it’s nearly 18,000 people fewer than in December 2018. 
...There’s only one explanation for the rapid decline: Trump’s policies worked.
This is far from the first time that policies roundly condemned when Trump has announced them have turned out to be successful. 

• Trump’s attacks on NATO allies for their failure to fulfill commitments to spend at least 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense was uniformly derided. But today, three years on, NATO defense spending is up, and even many Europeans say Trump’s threats helped them wake up.

• ...Trade is another example of a viciously attacked Trump policy that is turning out fine..."

Facebook Bug Undermines Greta Thunberg's Dad Claiming She's Not Scripted | Breitbart

Facebook Bug Undermines Greta Thunberg's Dad Claiming She's Not Scripted | Breitbart:

As James Delingpole explained for Breitbart News:
Yes: this evidence that Greta the Climate Puppet is in fact merely the tool of grown-ups with a political agenda probably won’t come as a surprise to anyone. Greta Thunberg is, after all, the David Hogg of environmentalism.
But the point needs emphasising, nonetheless. Greta has become the de facto leader of the international green movement – taken so seriously by the global elite that she has even been invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland later this month to lecture world leaders about climate change.
What’s pretty clear, though, is that without her controllers and a prepared script Greta Thunberg can barely function. She is, remember, a 16-year old school drop out, with only a very rudimentary understanding – based on the propaganda she has been fed by adults – of the issues surrounding climate change.

The global warmists may be killing us!-----2020: The Lowest Solar Activity In Over 200 Years

2020: The Lowest Solar Activity In Over 200 Years
"As we move further into 2020, solar activity dwindles.  
This year, solar activity will be marked as the lowest in over 200 years. 
The low in the sun’s 11-year cycle will also have at least some repercussions for the climate here on Earth.
...Iceland’s, Europe’s and North America’s weather have historically been tied to the sunspot activity of the Sun. 
According to NASA, in 2020, the Sun, which is currently in solar cycle number 25, will reach its lowest activity in over 200 years. 

...When solar activity gets really low, it can have the effect of a “mini ice age.” 

The period between 1645 and 1715 was marked by a prolonged sunspot minimum, and this corresponded to a downturn in temperatures in Europe and North America. 

Named after astronomers Edward Maunder and his wife Annie Russell Maunder, this period became known as the Maunder Minimum. 

It is also known as “The Little Ice Age.”..."

12 shot, 5 killed in 24 hours in Democrat-controlled Baltimore. But sure, gun control will save lives. - Law Enforcement Today
"In the Democratic controlled city of Baltimore, Maryland, a total of 12 people were shot this past Saturday in separate incidents, with five of the victims dying as a result of their wounds.
In a state that carries all the hottest gun control laws: red flag laws, background checks, magazine capacity restrictions, permits needed to carry a gun anywhere, firearm registration, and permits just to buy a gun – you would think the streets would be safer.
It’s almost like criminals don’t care what laws they break in the process of committing their crimes..."

Jim Jordan Hopes Senate Dismisses Impeachment 'Right Away' -- 'Facts Are on the President's Side' | Breitbart:

“We’ve already had the most unfair process I’ve ever seen on the House side,” Jordan stated. “Republicans weren’t given subpoena authority, the president had no due process, he couldn’t cross-examine witnesses, Adam Schiff prevented witnesses from answering Republican questions during depositions, so we’ve had the most unfair process I’ve ever seen — you can’t go to the Senate and say, ‘Oh, we’re only going to let the Democrats get the witnesses they want.’ I hope they don’t do that.”

Trump: ‘We Didn’t Have Time to Call Up Nancy, Who Is Not Operating With a Full Deck’ | CNSNews
(CNSNews.com) – Shortly after House Democrats passed a nonbinding resolution attempting to limit President Trump’s ability to strike Iran without authorization from Congress, Trump explained his reasons for failing to inform Congress before the strike that took out Qassem Soleimani.
He didn’t have time; he didn’t trust the Democrats who are too busy trying to impeach him; and he feared leaks, he explained to his supporters at a Toledo, Ohio rally.
..."We got a call; we heard where he was; we knew the way he was getting there. And we had to make a decision. We didn’t have time to call up Nancy, who is not operating with a full deck,” Trump said, drawing cheers.
“Now they want us to call – can you imagine calling crooked Adam Schiff? He’s so crooked. So crooked. Shifty Schiff."..."

Lawmakers Should Not Resurrect Pure Michigan Subsidy Program – Michigan Capitol Confidential

Lawmakers Should Not Resurrect Pure Michigan Subsidy Program – Michigan Capitol Confidential
"Michigan began 2020 without its taxpayer-funded Pure Michigan advertising campaign, having zeroed it out during last year’s budget debate. 
The appropriation should remain at zero as the Pure Michigan program is demonstrably ineffective, expensive and unfair.
...I am the co-author (with Michael Hicks) of a 2016 study of Pure Michigan that uses almost 40 years of publicly available data to isolate the impact of state tourism promotion spending on the tourism industry. 
The best performing sector in our study — accommodations such as hotel and motels — saw an increase of just $20,000 in extra economic activity for every $1 million increase in state tourism promotion. 
In other words, government tourism promotion is a large net negative.
Ours is not the only study of its kind..."

Bernie field organizer: Send Trump supporters to gulag

Bernie field organizer: Send Trump supporters to gulag
"...An undercover video published by Project Veritas on Tuesday shows a field organizer for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign saying Soviet gulags were actually a positive phenomenon, suggesting that some similar program could re-educate Trump supporters and billionaires.

The video begins with a Project Veritas journalist asking an individual identified as Sanders organizer Kyle Jurek if “MAGA people” could be re-educated if Bernie wins the White House. 

“We gotta try,” Jurek replies. “In Nazi Germany, after the fall of the Nazi Party, there was a shit-ton of the populace that was f***ing Nazified.”

“Germany had to spend billions of dollars re-educating their f***ing people to not be Nazis,” he continues. 

“We’re probably going to have to do the same f***ing thing here.”

“That’s kind of what all Bernie’s whole f***ing like, ‘hey, free education for everybody’ because we’re going to have to teach you to not be a f***ing Nazi,” he added.

In another part of the video, Jurek is seen discussing Soviet Union dictator Joseph Stalin’s use of gulags, where he claims that the CIA was overly critical of them. 

“People were actually paid a living wage in the gulags, they conjugal visits in gulags, gulags were meant for re-education,” he says.
This is a preview of what is to come...
