Wow! Watch this!-----This Is What Mind Control Looks Like

"Media is scripted.
In more ways than one.The compilation in the start is going viral right now, which shows why old media want to abolish social media – if we couldn't upload a video like that on Youtube or Twitter, we wouldn't be able to show how corrupt they are.
Social media is competition that old media doesn't want.
The media hysteria on fake news only serves to push for a destruction of social media in its current state.
The endgame is to force Youtube and Facebook to get publishers, which decide what's allowed on their platforms.
In that moment they've essentially done away with social media and returned to the "old way" of things – where a monopoly gets to control what voices are allowed to be heard.

Delingpole: Laura Ingraham Should Never Have Apologized to David Hogg | Breitbart:

"Indeed. There is not a scientific device in existence capable of measuring how little how most of us care that this frankly sinister kid was rejected by UC Los Angeles, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine. You can bet that had he got in, he would have spent most of his time campaigning to decolonize the curriculum, transgender every bathroom, Occupy every lecture hall…
Second—and more importantly as far as Laura Ingraham’s career is concerned—you should never apologize to Social Justice Warriors (SJWs). Period."

TaxProf Blog-Classic Lesson From The Tax Court: Twitty Burgers!

TaxProf Blog:
"...The Jenkins case deserves your attention not only because of its lesson about the difference between business and personal deductions but also because of the poetry (?) it inspired both from Tax Court Judge Leo H. Irwin and from the IRS Office  of Chief Counsel 

All that, and more, below the fold.

The Lyrics (Facts):

Harold Jenkins, of course, was the birth name of the man better known as Conway Twitty. 

He was best known as a country music singer, less known as a baseball player and fan, and almost unknown as a chef. 

Still, he thought it would be a great idea to start a restaurant business that featured his favorite hamburger, involving canned pineapple rings deep-fried in graham cracker crumbs....

Twitty Burger went belly up
But Conway remained true.
He repaid his investors, one and all.
It was the moral thing to do.

His fans would not have liked it, 
It could have hurt his fame,
Had any investors sued him 
Like Merle Haggard or Sonny James.

When it was time to file taxes 
Conway thought what he would do 
Was deduct those payments as a business expense 
Under section one-sixty-two.

In order to allow these deductions 
Goes the argument of the Commissioner. 
The payments must be ordinary and necessary 
To a business of the petitioner.

Had Conway not repaid the investors 
His career would have been under cloud, 
Under the unique facts of this case Held: 
The deductions are allowed...."
Must read it all to understand.
worth it!

Clinton campaign app may have harvested Facebook data of millions | Fox News:

"Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign may have harvested the Facebook data of millions of people using an app that asked them to pair their Facebook friends list with their smartphone's contacts list – in a bid to reach those people and persuade them to vote for Clinton.
In the midst of the election, the Clinton campaign launched a mobile application called “Hillary 2016” that worked its way around the banned practice of gathering information from users’ friends without their consent."

Women might get raped if they debate men, so this college debate tournament banned men - The College Fix

Women might get raped if they debate men, so this college debate tournament banned men - The College Fix:
"It’s unfair. It’s sexist. And women might get raped.

That’s why a “special [debate] tournament” held at the University of Vermont this past weekend banned men from competing, organizers and participants in the North American Women’s and Gender Minorities Debate Championship told the Associated Press.

Rather than admit the deep sexism inherent to their view, they claim that women “have to be that much better than men to overcome bias on the part of many judges” and “point to statistics that show they are less likely to reach the top echelons of the activity”:

“There is also a lot of sexual predation that happens in the debate community,” said UVM debate director Helen Morgan-Parmett. “The tournament, I think, provides a safe space where people feel they are debating other women, and their bodies aren’t necessarily on display.”

Intercollegiate debates have been gender-integrated for six decades but women still lag in participation. Sarah Sahagian, program director for Speech and Debate Canada, said women simply can’t measure up yet:

I think even when I was a participant there were women who did well, there were women who won things, but on average, the average female debater did not do as well. Disproportionately, male debaters did better.

The Solemn Duty of Government and the Military | The Heritage Foundation:

"For over 225 years, the U.S. Constitution has served us well, but some federal judges seem to have misplaced their copies. How else to explain recent 18th-century-type edicts from four federal district judges who are presuming to run the military without any authority under Article III of the U.S. Constitution?
Articles I and II, respectively, assign to Congress and the Executive Branch shared power to establish and implement military policies. In the waning months of his administration, President Barack Obama unilaterally decided that individuals identifying as transgender or having gender dysphoria could serve openly in the military."

Lawmaker: Michigan no-fault insurance hike is 'a farce' - Story | WJBK

"(WJBK) - To say State Rep. Pete Lucido (R-Shelby Township) is upset about the latest insurance rate hike, would be an understatement.

On Thursday the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association announced starting July 1st - you will pay $22 more a year -- bringing the total to $192 a year for each insured vehicle.

Lucido wants to know why since the catastrophic claims fund currently has $21 billion.

"This is a farce, this is un-American and uncivilized in today's society," Lucido said. "We shouldn't be paying for this; we need to have them under oath. We need to have those books open. We need to know how much people are making and where that money goes."

Lucido says the only people who do know is the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association because years ago it became a private fund.

The organization claims the mandatory fee to cover unlimited medical benefits for injured drivers are going up because of higher than expected claims..."

Facebook Eyes the Midterms | Power Line

Facebook Eyes the Midterms | Power Line:
"...I think it remarkable that Facebook intends to take on “false narratives,” i.e., “intentionally divisive headlines and language.” 
Is it surprising that people disagree about “what an appropriate narrative is”? 
How Facebook intends to referee competing narratives, I can’t imagine. 
Well, no, actually I can.

How about “false facts”? 
Here, Facebook must rely on fact-checkers:

Today, I want to talk about one part of our strategy: our partnership with third-party fact-checking organizations. We’re seeing progress in our ability to limit the spread of articles rated false by fact-checkers, and we’re scaling our efforts.

Here’s how it works:

* We use signals, including feedback from people on Facebook, to predict potentially false stories for fact-checkers to review.

* When fact-checkers rate a story as false, we significantly reduce its distribution in News Feed — dropping future views on average by more than 80%.

* We notify people who’ve shared the story in the past and warn people who try to share it going forward.

* For those who still come across the story in their News Feed, we show more information from fact-checkers in a Related Articles unit.

* We use the information from fact-checkers to train our machine learning model, so that we can catch more potentially false news stories and do so faster.

So it all comes down to, who are the fact-checkers? 

A Facebook employee stated at the press conference that approved fact checkers will be those who have signed on to Poynter’s international fact checking network principles. 

You can see the list of signatories at the link; the only one that I recognize as more or less conservative is the Weekly Standard. 

Facebook has already said that it will use Politifact and Snopes, both left-leaning, as fact checkers. 

At the press conference, it got even worse:

In the US, we recently announced a partnership with The Associated Press to use their reporters in all 50 states to identify and debunk false and misleading stories related to the federal, state and local US midterm elections.

The Associated Press is the number one source of left-wing bias in the American press. 

Its “fact checks” are directed almost exclusively against President Trump and his administration, rarely against Democrats. 

I have written about them a number of times. 

In my judgment, the AP’s anti-Trump “fact checks” are wrong as often as they are right. 

Most often, they just assert Democratic Party talking points. 

If the AP is to be Facebook’s principal fact-checker for the midterm elections, Facebook may as well outsource the function to the Democratic National Committee..."
