Hypocrite Democrats Lecture Country, Exempt Themselves, Resemble Jimmy Swaggart | National Review

Hypocrite Democrats Lecture Country, Exempt Themselves, Resemble Jimmy Swaggart | National Review:

"So perhaps what drives proverbially average Americans crazy is not the success and money of others, but the condescension and hypocrisy of what a particular elite says contrasted with how it lives: The disconnect recalls the Reverend Jimmy Swaggart, the televangelist who on Sunday mornings three decades ago used to break into tears as he loudly condemned the sins of the flesh, while he privately indulged his worldly appetites.

Elites, whose lifestyles lead them to burn lots of carbon, rail about the Paris accords to those who get by burning lots less. What is galling is to see how little the elites’ green rhetoric is backed up by their green behavior."

A national disgrace!-----52 Michigan high schools where less than 5% test as college-ready | MLive.com

52 Michigan high schools where less than 5% test as college-ready | MLive.com:
"About a third of Michigan public school students in the Class of 2017 tested as fully "college ready" based on their SAT scores as juniors.
Below is a list of the 52 Michigan public  high schools where less than 5% hit the full college-ready benchmark. 
The list is limited to schools with at least 40 test-takers, and some of the schools are alternative programs for struggling students.
The schools are ranked by the number of test-takers, so the largest schools are listed first.
Students must get at least a 530 SAT subscore on the math section and a 480 subscore on the evidence-based reading and writing section to meet the SAT's college-ready standards.
The data here is based on SAT tests administered in March 2016 to the Class of 2017 when they were 11th-graders..."

Roving Band of Bat-Wielding Protestors Spotted At The Evergreen State College | The Liberty Conservative

Roving Band of Bat-Wielding Protestors Spotted At The Evergreen State College | The Liberty Conservative:
"Reports emerged on Monday that packs of student protestors at the infamous Evergreen State College had been spotted “patrolling” campus armed with baseball bats.
...The trend of embarrassments for the College began when a collective attempt to purge White students and faculty from campus for a day was revealed, in part due to a Biology Professor Bret Weinstein’s refusal to acquiesce to the purge, which he deemed an “act of oppression.”
Weinstein’s stance against the anti-white campus event led him to be confronted by a mob of belligerent students enraged at his refusal to leave campus.
Weinstein would go on to provide insightful details on the College’s state of existence on the Joe Rogan Experience, comparing the attitude of the faculty to that of a “cult.”..."

These people are nuts!-----CNN's Comey Countdown Clock Ticks Down the Seconds to Testimony Time

CNN's Comey Countdown Clock Ticks Down the Seconds to Testimony Time: "Hours... Minutes... "Seconds...
The world awaits the very moment former FBI Director James Comey begins his testimony on June 8 before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
It could be the most momentous world event in decades...or even centuries! 

And we must all thank CNN for providing us with the Comey Countdown Clock so we can be aware of exactly how long we have to wait until our lives are changed forever.
Of course, a killjoy out there could point out that Comey already did testify before the Senate a month ago on May 3 when he said there was no effort to get him to stop the investigation into supposed collusion between Russia and the Donald Trump campaign. 
In fact, if he were to contradict his previous testimony he would be opening up himself to a perjury charge.
But no matter.
Just watch CNN's Comey Countdown Clock below and enjoy the imaginary drama queen tension for now. Oh, and pay no attention to John King.
He is just saying the same liberal stuff he always says.
All that is important is that Comey Countdown Clock.
Look at it carefully.
Be sure not to take your eyes off of it as it counts down every crucial second to testimony time."

Price-gouging Maker of EpiPen Literally Said That Critics Can Go Fuck Themselves - Slashdot:
"Back in August of 2016, the pharmaceutical company Mylan came under fire for jacking up prices of the EpiPen from $57 in 2007 to roughly $600 in 2016.
The public backlash has been significant. Gizmodo adds:
But the chairman of Mylan has a message for any critics: Go fuck yourself.
Well, at least that's what we think he said.
The New York Times has a new article about the fact that prices for the live-saving allergy medication haven't actually come down since last year.
And the article has a rather strange way of describing the attitude of Mylan chairman Robert Coury.
This is how the New York Times describes Coury's reaction to critics of Mylan's price gouging:
"Mr. Coury replied that he was untroubled. 

He raised both his middle fingers and explained, using colorful language, that anyone criticizing Mylan, including its employees, ought to go copulate with themselves.
Critics in Congress and on Wall Street, he said, should do the same.
And regulators at the Food and Drug Administration?
They, too, deserved a round of anatomically challenging self-fulfillment.""

Hypocrisy is hard!-----Liberals Place Muslims Above Gays in Oppression Hierarchy

Liberals Place Muslims Above Gays in Oppression Hierarchy:
"Last month, when Marine Le Pen refused to put on a headscarf for a meeting with Lebanon's “Grand Mufti,” a friend of mine, whom I'll call Dave, commended her for it on Facebook.
Dave, as it happens, is a Manhattan liberal who voted for Hillary Clinton, despises Donald Trump, and thinks Le Pen is a fascist.
But he's also a gay man who's very clear-eyed about the danger of Islam, especially to gay people, and who is angry at the left, both in the U.S. and Europe, for appeasing the Religion of Peace.
And so he gave Le Pen a thumbs-up for her gutsy action.
Since Dave's own friends list consists almost exclusively of other big-city liberal types, he was immediately savaged for his post on Le Pen.
One of them wrote that just because Muslim women decide to cover their hair or body doesn't mean they're oppressed, and added that Le Pen, by refusing to wear a headscarf, wasn't standing up for women but simply “trying to spread hate” towards Islam.
...Many of Dave's friends were livid at him for even daring to compliment Le Pen and criticize Islam.
...their responses made it clear that they'd fully accepted the current progressive pecking order among officially recognized oppressed groups: gays (especially affluent white gay American males such as Dave) are at the bottom of the ladder; Muslims are at the very top.
Which means that when gays criticize Islam, a decent progressive is supposed to scream “Islamophobe"; but when Muslims drop gays to their deaths off the roofs of buildings, one is expected to look away and change the topic..."

Trump & Paris Convention: Constitution Makes Withdrawal Necessary | National Review

Trump & Paris Convention: Constitution Makes Withdrawal Necessary | National Review:

"The approval hurdle is high because the Constitution makes a ratified treaty the supreme law of the land — essentially, the equivalent of a congressional statute. The idea, then, is that no international compact should be imposed on the American people unless an overwhelming majority of elected officials in the upper chamber are convinced — to the point of willingness to cast an accountable vote for the proposition — that the compact serves the national interests of the United States."

Worth a thought-----More Bike Commuting, More Crashes & Skyrocketing Medical Bills | American Council on Science and Health

More Bike Commuting, More Crashes & Skyrocketing Medical Bills | American Council on Science and Health:
"Bike riding, either for pleasure or as a way to commute to and from work, continues to reach new heights in popularity. 
Cities and municipalities all over America are reconfiguring streets and roadways to accommodate existing riders, and to encourage non-riders to climb aboard to improve their fitness with added physical activity.

But given that cycling-related trips to hospitals and emergency departments across the country have increased dramatically, is it a fair question to ask:

Are the steep rise in accidents, and the billions of dollars in annual medical expenses and costs associated with them, worth this push towards expanded two-wheeled transportation?

This observation comes to the fore in the wake of a recent study of a 17-year period published in the journal Injury Prevention which stated that, "Each year, the total costs associated with non-fatal adult bicycle trauma increased by an average of $789 million," and that "Medical costs increased by 137% from $885 million in 1997 to $2.1 billion in 2013."...
