WUT: College Student Explains Why Milk Is Racist | Daily Wire
WUT: College Student Explains Why Milk Is Racist | Daily Wire:
"While it does not surprise anyone that the Left says white girls cannot wear hoop earrings and that fraternities must admit women in defiance to the exceptions to Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, nothing can logically explain an opinion piece claiming that milk is racist."
Jeff Jacoby: Climate Models Fail So Often Because Climate Science Is So Incomplete — The Patriot Post
Jeff Jacoby: Climate Models Fail So Often Because Climate Science Is So Incomplete — The Patriot Post:
"“Do you believe,” CNBC’s Joe Kernen asked Scott Pruitt, the Environmental Protection Agency’s new director, in an interview last Thursday, “that it’s been proven that CO2 is the primary control knob for climate?”
Replied Pruitt: “No. I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do, and there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact. So no — I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see. But we don’t know that yet. We need to continue the debate and continue the review and the analysis.”
It was an accurate and judicious answer, so naturally it sent climate alarmists into paroxysms of condemnation.
The Washington Post slammed Pruitt as a “denier” driven by “unreason.”
Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii called Pruitt’s views “extreme” and “irresponsible” — proof of his unfitness to head the EPA.
...Yet for all the hyperventilating, Pruitt’s answer to the question he was asked — whether carbon dioxide is the climate’s “primary control knob” — was entirely sound.
“We don’t know that yet,” he said.
We don’t.
CO2 is certainly a heat-trapping greenhouse gas, but hardly the primary one: Water vapor accounts for about 95 percent of greenhouse gases.
By contrast, carbon dioxide is only a trace component in the atmosphere: about 400 ppm (parts per million), or 0.04 percent.
Moreover, its warming impact decreases sharply after the first 20 or 30 ppm.
Adding more CO2 molecules to the atmosphere is like painting over a red wall with white paint — the first coat does most of the work of concealing the red.
A second coat of paint has much less of an effect, while adding a third or fourth coat has almost no impact at all..."

Hampshire College student denies assaulting Maine basketball players over ‘cultural appropriation’:"...a Jan. 27 incident at Hampshire College’s Robert Crown Center. According to court documents, Figueroa approached members the Central Maine Community College women’s basketball team and ordered them to remove braids from their hair citing “cultural appropriation.”

Venezuela seizes bakeries amid bread shortage | Miami Herald:
"BOGOTA, COLOMBIA-Facing a bread shortage that is spawning massive lines and souring the national mood, the Venezuelan government is responding this week by detaining bakers and seizing establishments.
In a press release, the National Superintendent for the Defense of Socioeconomic Rights said it had charged four people and temporarily seized two bakeries as the socialist administration accused bakers of being part of a broad “economic war” aimed at destabilizing the country.
In a statement, the government said the bakers had been selling underweight bread and were using price-regulated flour to illegally make specialty items, like sweet rolls and croissants.
The government said bakeries are only allowed to produce French bread and white loaves, or pan canilla, with government-imported flour..."

War On Science: Gluten-Free Madness Needs to End - The Daily Beast
War On Science: Gluten-Free Madness Needs to End - The Daily Beast:
"...Liberals have their own anti-science biases...liberals appear to be motivated by a belief that all things natural are good, anything with a chemical name is bad, and everything that profits an industry is really bad (unless that industry makes dietary supplements).
Anti-gluten hysteria has turned one of the most important staples of the human diet into a grocery-store pariah—with potentially disastrous repercussions.-PAUL A. OFFIT
...The gluten-free is probably the saddest fallacy—and the most destructive.
...Today, 20 million Americans claim that they are allergic to gluten when only about 3 million actually are. You can buy gluten-free hair products, gluten-free food for your pets, and go on gluten-free vacations. In 2014, the global market for gluten-free products totaled $4 billion a year; by 2019, it will be closer to $7 billion.
...The most unfortunate outcome of the gluten-free revolution is that demonizing food can lead to food fetishes or food phobias causing bulimia and anorexia, which affect about 2 percent of the United States population...
The cure for celiac disease is avoidance of gluten. The cure for gluten mania, on the other hand, remains elusive.

"The budget includes Trump’s promises to veterans, as the Department of Veterans Affairs gets a 10 percent increase in spending.
Trump cut funding for several agencies, including a 28 percent cut in the State Department, mostly because of cuts in foreign aid programs. The EPA also experiences a 30 percent cut, the biggest loser in the budget. The Department of Agriculture gets a 29 percent cut and the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor are also cut by over 20 percent."

Make it mandatory in blue states!-----Portland pilot program puts homeless in residents' backyards
Portland pilot program puts homeless in residents' backyards:
"PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Faced with an intractable homeless problem, officials in Portland are thinking inside the box.
A handful of homeless families will soon move into tiny, government-constructed modular units in the backyards of willing homeowners.
Under the pilot program taking effect this summer, the homeowners will take over the heated, fully plumbed tiny houses in five years and can use them for rental income.
The project, called A Place for You, is believed to be the first in the nation to recruit stable residents to address a homeless crisis that's gotten so bad the city last year declared a state of emergency and made it legal to sleep on the street..."

An investigation of 15 top academic research centers across the U.S. shows that alternative and therapeutic remedies have become embedded into hospitals and medical school curriculums.
From STAT News:
Some hospitals have built luxurious, spa-like wellness centers to draw patients for spiritual healing, homeopathy, and more. And they're promoting such treatments for a wide array of conditions, including depression, heart disease, cancer, and chronic pain.
Duke even markets a pediatric program that suggests on its website that alternative medicine, including “detoxification programs” and “botanical medicines,” can help children with conditions ranging from autism to asthma to ADHD.

Feminist Gives Tips For Raising A 'Fat-Positive' Kid. They're INSANE. | Daily Wire
Feminist Gives Tips For Raising A 'Fat-Positive' Kid. They're INSANE. | Daily Wire
"In a post featured on the feminist website you can't believe is not satire, Everyday Feminism, a fat and proud mother explains how she plans on raising her months-old daughter to be "fat-positive."
Feminist blogger Marie Southard Ospina outlines an insane list of "small things" that she intends to impose on her daughter to reach peak "fat-positive" living. While most of the tips embody typical feminism, merely laughable and essentially useless, other tips are examples of downright bad parenting.
"In a post featured on the feminist website you can't believe is not satire, Everyday Feminism, a fat and proud mother explains how she plans on raising her months-old daughter to be "fat-positive."
Feminist blogger Marie Southard Ospina outlines an insane list of "small things" that she intends to impose on her daughter to reach peak "fat-positive" living. While most of the tips embody typical feminism, merely laughable and essentially useless, other tips are examples of downright bad parenting.
Ospina is seemingly attempting to condition her child into poor health in the name of "body diversity."
The feminist's most unsettling tip is to never frame food or food choices as "good" or "bad":
There's a super uncomfortable thing many people are known to do when discussing body types, or food: many often bring in morality-fueled words like "good" and "bad" into the picture. For example, a thin body is a "good body," while a fat one is a "bad body." Eating a cupcake means someone has been "bad that day," while eating a kale salad means they have been "very good."
The feminist adds that "food will never be framed with terms that imply morality, much like body types won't be, either."

Freedom of choice. What a concept!-----CBO: 8 million will choose to leave private insurance market without fines - NetRight Daily
CBO: 8 million will choose to leave private insurance market without fines - NetRight Daily:
"The Congressional Budget Office is absolutely correct, millions of Americans may not be getting insurance once Obamacare is no longer in affect.
However, mainstream media has already made a critical error as to why so many people will be leaving the system.
Rather than being forced to have insurance that does not satisfy individual needs, Americans are begging for insurance in the private sector that is competitive and adequate.
Solving the healthcare crisis will require legislators to return to economic basics; when the market is competitive, costs will lower, and people will once again desire the product.
Until this occurs Americans will continue removing themselves from the insurance industry.
That’s right, when given the choice, millions of Americans will opt out of purchasing health insurance.
...While the Obamacare plan forced the public to pay for insurance in order to evade a federal fine, now Americans will have the choice to decide if that is something that they want..."

4 books to read in 2017 for a stronger America – Medium:"...Amusing Ourselves to Death, by Neil Postman
Should we manage to rouse our society from their televisions and smart phones to read these Great Books, we might indeed recover and retain all that makes our civilization civilized. Neil Postman, however, doubts our success.
Playing on the ideas of Aldous Huxley in his Brave New World and George Orwell in his 1984, Postman argues in his Amusing Ourselves to Death that civilization won’t fall to revolutionaries or communist regimes, but rather with a Huxlian “soma,” renamed entertainment.
He traces America’s progression from a thinking man’s experiment in self-government, to a petted man’s circus and demonstrates that today’s man has traded thought for amusement, action for titillation and gossip.
This sobering look at society’s descent into socialism sounds a provocative alarm and calls the sober minded to the wakeful life the liberal arts inspire."

Why most on Obamacare like it... it's free!-----Obamacare subsidies to jump $10 billion in 2017 - CBS News
Obamacare subsidies to jump $10 billion in 2017 - CBS News:
"WASHINGTON - Taxpayers will fork over nearly $10 billion more next year to cover double-digit premium hikes for subsidized health insurance under President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, according to a study being released Thursday.
...The study estimates that the cost of premium subsidies under the ACA will increase by $9.8 billion next year, rising from $32.8 billion currently to $42.6 billion.
The average monthly subsidy will increase by $76, or 26 percent, from $291 currently to $367 in 2017.
Currently more than eight in 10 consumers buying private health insurance through HealthCare.gov and state markets receive tax credits from the government to help pay their premiums.
Those subsidies are designed to rise along with premiums, shielding consumers from sudden increases.
But the bill ultimately gets passed on to taxpayers...

Subway sues TV network over ‘soy chicken’ report | New York Post:
"Subway is crying fowl over claims that its chicken is loaded with soy fillers — this time in court.
The fast-food chain has slapped the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. with a lawsuit over an TV expose last month that claimed its chicken was only about 50-percent poultry and the rest of it soybeans, The Post has learned.
Subway’s is claiming $210 million in damages in the legal flap, blasting the soy-filler allegations from news show CBC Marketplace as “defamatory and absolutely false,” a Subway spokesman told The Post.

“[T]eachers feel powerless to discipline. I am not exaggerating. We are told to never under any circumstances touch a student as a behavioral intervention. We have no way to discipline. If a child is running around screaming, we let them run around and scream. If a student throws a chair at the Smart Board we remove the other students and call for help.

Frank Gaffney: European Nations Are ‘Reeling from the Effects of Unassimilated Muslims in Their Midst’:
"He argued that one reason for the immigration-related tensions in Europe is the reluctance of recent Muslim arrivals to fully integrate into their host societies.
“That’s the crux of the matter, and, again, whether it’s the hijab or whether it’s the burqa, or it’s the calls to prayer, or it’s the halal foods, or it’s all of the other demands that are now being imperiously made, often by people who have been welcomed in as refugees and put on the dole of these nations,” Gaffney observed.
“People are, as I say, feeling mugged by reality – feeling as though the indulgence that they’ve been encouraged to give such people is simply not sustainable for their countries, which brings us to the crux of the matter here. I would argue that this is exactly the same trajectory that we’re on. We’re just not as far along with it at this point,” he argued.
