Hungarian Leader Calls Christianity 'Europe's Last Hope' | World News | US News:

"BUDAPEST, HUNGARY (AP) — Hungary's prime minister says that "Christianity is Europe's last hope" and that politicians in Brussels, Berlin and Paris favoring migration have "opened the way to the decline of Christian culture and the advance of Islam."
Viktor Orban said Sunday during his 20th annual state of the nation speech that his government will oppose efforts by the United Nations or the European Union to make migration acceptable to the world."

No One Mentions That The Russian Trail Leads To Democratic Lobbyists

No One Mentions That The Russian Trail Leads To Democratic Lobbyists:

"The media’s focus on Trump’s Russian connections ignores the much more extensive and lucrative business relationships of top Democrats with Kremlin-associated oligarchs and companies. Thanks to the Panama Papers, we know that the Podesta Group (founded by John Podesta’s brother, Tony) lobbied for Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank. “Sberbank is the Kremlin, they don’t do anything major without Putin’s go-ahead, and they don’t tell him ‘no’ either,” explained a retired senior U.S. intelligence official.

Minneapolis TV Station's Reporters Puzzled by More Guns, Less Crime in the Gopher State

Minneapolis TV Station's Reporters Puzzled by More Guns, Less Crime in the Gopher State:
"On Thursday, Minneapolis station WCCO reported on guns and crime in Minnesota. Anchor Frank Vascarello's introduction: "More people are carrying guns than ever before, but the crime rate remains low." 
Imagine that.

Reporter Pat Kessler also treated more guns and less crime as paradoxical.

Reporting on crime and guns has been infested with the "Fox Butterfield effect." It is named after a New York Times reporter, who in November 2004 was surprised that:

The number of inmates in state and federal prisons rose 2.1 percent last year, even as violent crime and property crime fell.

Later, a puzzled Butterfield referred to "the paradox of a falling crime rate but a rising prison population." 

Butterfield never considered the idea that fewer bad guys on the streets might lead to less crime.

The Butterfield effect as it applies to guns is the idea journalists are similarly reluctant to accept...

‘We Only Whisper It’ | National Review

‘We Only Whisper It’ | National Review:
"Justice Ginsburg sings another verse of “Kill the Poor.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, having decided for some inexplicable reason to do a long interview with a fashion magazine (maybe it is her celebrated collection of lace collars), reaffirmed the most important things we know about her: her partisanship, her elevation of politics over law, and her desire to see as many poor children killed as is feasibly possible.
Speaking about such modest restrictions on abortion as have been enacted over the past several years, Justice Ginsburg lamented that “the impact of all these restrictions is on poor women.”
Then she added: “It makes no sense as a national policy to promote birth only among poor people.”..."

Our Anglo-American Heritage Can't Be Wished Away by the Left - American Greatness

Our Anglo-American Heritage Can't Be Wished Away by the Left - American Greatness:

"Americans should understand that our legal system is founded on the British “common law” tradition, which distinguishes the legal environment in Britain and its former colonies, including the United States, from that in almost every other part of the world. “Anglo-American” common law bases ideas of justice on precedents established in previous judicial rulings. Because of this, many of the assumptions of the American legal system actually predate America itself and hearken back to ideas of justice in medieval and early modern England."

A note from my "friend" Joe (Biden)

"All over America today, mothers and fathers dropped their children off at school and left with a pit in their stomach. 
Asking themselves: "Will they be safe?" "Can it happen here?" "Will they come home?"
This can't be. 
We can't stand by and let our schools, our cities, and our communities become war zones.
It's been five years since Newtown, where 20 students and six teachers were murdered by a gunman. Since then, there have been at least another 239 school shootings where more than 400 people have been shot.
I said long ago that the most important thing anyone running for office has to decide is what they are willing to lose over. 
Not what they're willing to do to win. 
But what are they willing to lose over.
Well, how about this: Is protecting our children's lives worth losing over? Keeping weapons of war out of the classroom and off our streets? Giving parents some peace of mind? You're damn right it is.
Folks, the federal budget deficit isn't the biggest deficit we've got in Washington. We've got a courage deficit. We have too many Members of Congress who care more about the threats and the checks they get from the NRA than they do about the kids in America's classrooms.
I'm not asking for your money. 
I'm asking for your support. 
Your courage. 
To put your name on this petition next to mine. 
To send a message to every person in Congress that says, "You can't wait us out." 
Not this time.
For all those who lost their lives this week in Parkland -- and for the survivors and broken families left behind -- your words of sympathies and condolences aren't enough. 
It's never been enough. 
Your prayers aren't enough. 
We're voting on this.
And we're not going to forget what you did -- and didn't do.
Thank you.
-Joe"

This Is What A Police State And 'High Crimes And Misdemeanors' Really Look Like | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD

This Is What A Police State And 'High Crimes And Misdemeanors' Really Look Like | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"As ever more deliberately concealed evidence is being uncovered of factual "collusion" between the Obama White House, the failed presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton and Russia; of professional operatives in our intelligence services openly trying to first, cripple the campaign of Donald Trump, and then, having failed at that criminal objective, to delegitimize his presidency; and of secretly funded far-left anarchist groups proudly preaching violence against those they oppose, it seems the perfect time to ask three questions:

• First, what is the definition of a "Police State?"
• Second, what is the definition of "Treason?"
• And last, what – as defined in the Constitution of the United States of America – is the meaning of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors?"

6 Common Media Myths About Gun Control

6 Common Media Myths About Gun Control:

"But the often sincere and certainly passionate claims made by those calling for gun control frequently don’t add up.

As columnist David French wrote of the recurring shootings in a brilliant column for National Review, “It’s horrifying, and governmental solutions are hard to find. Twitter’s fondest wishes to the contrary, the unique characteristics of mass shootings mean that they often escape the reach of public policy.”

After the Parkland shooting, a number of old and new myths about the Second Amendment and gun control became media narratives. Here are just a few of the more common ones."

How a union sank a mom and pop company overnight

How a union sank a mom and pop company overnight:
"This is a sad story out of Connecticut brought to us this week by the Washington Free Beacon.
It involves J-Con Woodworking, located in Thomaston.
Hilary and Mark Converse own the business and it’s been in operation there for more than three decades. 
Now, however, the formerly successful operation is shuttered and the owners are left with nothing.
It happened in rapid fashion after eight union carpenters working for them decided to withdraw from the Carpenters Union. 
That triggered a demand for pension fund payments from the union which essentially bankrupted the family.
J-Con Woodworking in Thomaston, Conn., closed its doors after 34 years in operation in order to cover $633,667.80 in retirement and health benefits as part of a multiemployer pension system maintained by the Carpenters Union.
The mass payout was triggered after the company’s eight union carpenters decided to withdraw from the union in a unanimous vote, according to reporter Marc Fitch.
...Just as we’ve seen with public employee unions in Washington and around the nation, the culprit at the bottom of all this is the system of lucrative pension plans which the unions negotiate for. 
They promise the moon in terms of retirement plans and pension payments unavailable to most private-sector workers today, and the cost of these systems swells over the years until the pension costs devour the host they are feeding on. 
In the case of the Converse family, they had no say in whether or not their eight carpenters stayed in their union and the unions refuses to disclose how they arrived at the whopping figure of well over a half million dollars as being their “share” of the bill for the pension plan.
All of this happens with the blessing of both the state and federal government.
The unions have long been so fully in control of politics, primarily through the Democratic Party, that they’ve been able to write their own rules..."

Venezuela's Socialist Hellscape, Captured in 28 Horrifying Headlines - The Liberty Review:
"I wrote last year that Venezuela was entering the “fourth circle of statist hell.”

How else, after all, can you describe a government that is so venal and incompetent that it resorts to confiscating toys in an effort to strengthen its hold on power?

I also wrote last year that Atlas was “shrugging” in Venezuela.

But shrugging may soon turn to shrugged. 

It’s hard to see how Maduro’s despotic regime can hold power much longer. 

Consider this collection of horrifying stories.

The Washington Post reported:

With inflation spiraling out of control, food and medicine supplies dwindling and violent crimes on the rise, women as young as 27 are seeking out surgeons to avoid unwanted pregnancies. A study by PLAFAM, the biggest family planning clinic in the country, estimates that about 23 percent more Venezuelan women are being sterilized today as compared to four years ago, said the clinic’s director, Enrique Abache. “The financial crisis is one of the main causes for this,” he explained. Years of government mismanagement have fueled what is now a full-blown humanitarian crisis in a country where infant mortality has almost doubled in recent years …mothers often spend whole days searching for milk powder or diapers.Those who can’t find them are simply forced to go without...

Mexican Nationals Meddled and Colluded in the 2016 Election

Mexican Nationals Meddled and Colluded in the 2016 Election:
"Special Counsel Robert Mueller laid out the law clearly in his indictment of numerous Russian nationals and groups for their attempts to interfere in the 2016 election.
...Most importantly, perhaps, the Mueller investigation has established that meddling by foreign nationals in a U.S. election is real and problematic.  
This being so, the DOJ and FBI might want to turn their attention to the role Mexican nationals played in the 2016 election.  
They will not have to dig deep to find evidence.
A good place to start searching would be the audio the journalists of Project Veritas recorded in their undercover stings of the Hillary Clinton campaign. 
To make the search easier, James O'Keefe has documented many of these conversations in his new book, American Pravda.
..."Well, there are organizations out there," Creamer responded. 
He identified a fellow named Cesar Vargas as the best of the organizers. 
"This crew is spectacular at it," Creamer added. 
He explained that DREAMers have "a lot more legitimacy" because they are not specifically "operatives of the DNC or of the campaigns." 
Their presence at rallies, he believed, made for "good optics."
"So Hillary is aware of all the work that you guys do, I hope?" Allison asked.
"Oh yeah," said Creamer.  "Yes.  The campaign is fully in it."
...Here you have it. 
Organized groups of foreign nationals were actively colluding at the highest levels with the DNC, the Hillary Clinton campaign, and quite possibly the Obama White House.  
There is no mystery, no need to spend millions on high-priced lawyers.
Let the investigation begin."

Rush Limbaugh Is More Progressive on Immigration Than Anyone on Capitol Hill. Seriously. - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"His amnesty proposal is the least draconian plan around right now-Shikha Dalmia
Who would have thunk it but when it comes to immigration, the king of conservative talk radio, Rush Limbaugh, might have become the most progressive voice in America today.
Limbaugh has done more than any human alive over the last two decades to kill any immigration bill that smacked of "amnesty."
Yet there was El Rushbo telling Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday that he would be willing to go along with permanent citizenship—not merely legal permanent residency, mind you—for "whatever number" of undocumented immigrants on one simple condition.
And what's this condition? 
Building a border wall?
Nope.
Enhancing border security by forcing taxpayers to spring for more boots on the ground and whiz-bang satellite surveillance etc?
Niyat.
Cuts in legal immigration?
No.
Banning amnesty recipients from voting for 15-25 years..."
That's it..."

Q&A: Why the Transgender Movement Can't Sustain Itself

Q&A: Why the Transgender Movement Can't Sustain Itself:

"That’s exactly right. There is a huge difference between people who struggle with their gender identity and people who are LGBT activists. Most people who suffer from gender dysphoria are not activists, and many of them reject the activists’ claims. Many of them may be regarded as victims of the activists, as I document in the book.

Many of those who feel distress over their bodily sex know that they aren’t really the opposite sex, and do not wish to “transition.” They wish to receive help in coming to identify with and accept their bodily self. They don’t think their feelings of gender dysphoria define reality."
