Gregg Jarrett: Comey and Strzok -- Two key players in the scheme to clear Clinton and frame Trump | Fox News:

Based on Comey’s finding, Clinton should have faced a multiple-count criminal indictment, since the FBI discovered that she had stored 110 classified emails on her unauthorized, private computer server. Other people had been prosecuted for similar conduct that jeopardized national security in violation of the law. Yet, Comey – despite characterizing Clinton’s actions with the clear language denoting violation of the law - saw to it that no charges were ever brought against Clinton.

Prof calls on art teachers to reject ‘geometry of whiteness’

Prof calls on art teachers to reject ‘geometry of whiteness’

• In a chapter for a new "Handbook of Race and Arts in Education," a University of North Texas art education professor argues that K-12 teachers should work to combat "geometries of whiteness."
• Tyson Lewis contends that "whiteness is a kind of one-dimensional way of being in the world," suggesting that educators incorporate "critical whiteness studies" to advance the "social justice agenda" of art education.

An art education professor at the University of North Texas is urging his fellow educators to use social justice-themed art classes to fight “geometries of whiteness.” 

Tyson E. Lewis, who teaches classes on critical pedagogy and aesthetic theory, contributed a chapter on “Art Education and Whiteness as Style” for a new guide aimed at other educators, The Palgrave Handbook of Race and Arts in Education. 

"Because whiteness and maleness are geometric styles, aesthetic questions are intrinsically political and political questions are inherently aesthetic."    Tweet This

“Art education needs to draw upon critical whiteness studies to further its social justice agenda while at the same time recognizing the resources that art education brings to questions of whiteness,” Lewis writes in the preface of his chapter. 

In response to concerns over the lack of minority educators in K-12, especially as schools are becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, Lewis argues that “the question of whiteness cannot be avoided if we are to continue to uphold the idea of educational equity and equality.”...

Swedish dentist fired for revealing that 80% of 'child migrants' are actually adults

Swedish dentist fired for revealing that 80% of 'child migrants' are actually adults:
"A Swedish dentist has been fired and fined after revealing that 80% of migrant “children” referred to him turned out to be adults.
In a shocking discovery, Mr Bernt Herlitz, a dental hygienist from Gotland, in Sweden, found in 2016 that 80% of the “children” he was inspecting were in fact fully grown adults, determined from the fact their wisdom teeth were fully grown.
Herlitz shared this informatin with an immigration officer, who told him to file a report detailing his findings.
However, as a result of Mr Herlitz exposing these lies, his employer decided to fire and fine him, under the dubious accusation of breaking “confidentiality”..."

Trump rips Dirty Dossier used in Page wiretap as proof of witch hunt | Daily Mail Online:

In an early morning Twitter rant on Monday, Trump railed against the dossier complied by former British intelligence operative Christopher Steele that newly-released documents show was part of the investigation into Page.
'So we now find out that it was indeed the unverified and Fake Dirty Dossier, that was paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC, that was knowingly & falsely submitted to FISA and which was responsible for starting the totally conflicted and discredited Mueller Witch Hunt!,' he wrote.

Illegal Immigrants Are Far More Likely to Commit Serious Crimes Than the U.S. Public | Intellectual Takeout
"President Trump recently held a conference with family members of U.S. citizens killed by illegal immigrants. 
The parents of nine people slain by such immigrants spoke about their family’s experiences, and 
...the Associated Press published a “fact check“ claiming that illegal immigrants are more law-abiding than the general public. 
Various media outlets, such as the New York Times, Yahoo!, and a number of NBC affiliates published this article...
The truth, however, is that comprehensive, straightforward facts from primary sources—namely the Obama administration Census Bureau and Department of Justice—prove that illegal immigrants are far more likely to commit serious crimes than the U.S. population. 
Studies that claim otherwise typically suffer from fallacies condemned by academic publications about how to accurately analyze data..."

Americans have constitutional right to carry guns in public for self-defense, appeals court rules - Washington Times

Americans have constitutional right to carry guns in public for self-defense, appeals court rules - Washington Times:

Americans have a constitutional right to openly carry firearms, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday, delivering a major victory to gun rights supporters.
While courts previously have recognized the right to own firearms to protect the home, the decision by the three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit extends that into the public sphere, calling it a “core Second Amendment right.”
In a 2-1 ruling, the panel said Hawaii’s law severely restricting guns outside homes or businesses tramples on that right.

OPINION: Universities fuel the growth of Democratic Socialism

OPINION: Universities fuel the growth of Democratic Socialism

• The Democratic Socialists of America has grown rapidly of late, recently surpassing 40,000 members, and our universities are largely responsible for its newfound appeal to young people.
• In myriad, often subtle ways, leftist professors exploit their positions of authority to "develop" new socialist acolytes by presenting students with a narrow framework of "acceptable" ideas that disguises socialism as virtuous.

With the left's full embrace of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is in the mainstream media’s spotlight. 

With more than 40,000 card carrying members, DSA is a growing leftist force in not only our political system, but in our systems of higher education.

"The far left is a much greater threat to our nation than any neo-Nazi group will ever be, and our universities are the gateways to the left."    Tweet This

So why is the left, especially in our universities, embracing an ideology that has resulted in the deaths of over a hundred million people? Here are three reasons why socialism is making a comeback on college campuses:

1. It is intellectually appealing

The intellectual appeal of socialism—and postmodern ideology in general—is incredibly strong. There is also no better place to foster that appeal than a university, and professors are the perfect conduits for postmodern thought..."

California Was Warned Months Ago Its Grid Could Buckle In The Heat. Now It’s Happening | The Daily Caller

California Was Warned Months Ago Its Grid Could Buckle In The Heat. Now It’s Happening | The Daily Caller
"California’s grid operator is asking customers to limit electricity use during peak hours to help keep power flowing as a “heat dome” settles over the southwestern U.S.

But they were warned of this months ago.

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) warned in May that California faced “significant risk of encountering operating conditions that could result in operating reserve shortfalls.”

Expected power demand is expected to outstrip California’s available generating capacity by about 5,000 megawatts on Tuesday, according to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO).

Source: California Independent System Operator

Why the lack of energy supplies? 
CAISO expects high demand for air conditioning during the heat wave to outstrip supply owing to “reduced electricity imports, tight natural gas supplies” and high wildfire risk.

The grid operator issued a flex alert to customers on Monday and began mobilizing all available generating capacity. 

But that’s not enough, and CAISO is asking residents and businesses to cut their power usage to prevent “rotating power outages.”

This is exactly what NERC warned about, based on CAISO’s own assessment earlier this year....

How Obama presidency was 8-year hacking nightmare

How Obama presidency was 8-year hacking nightmare:
"Let’s review what received little media attention in the U.S. at the time or since.

• In September 2016, U.S. authorities arrested two North Carolina members of the “Crackas With Attitude” group involved in hacking CIA Director Brennan’s personal email account and leaking sensitive files including a top-secret application for a security clearance, as well as other senior officials at the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. The hackers leaked the personal details of 31,000 government agents belonging to nearly 20,000 FBI agents; 9,000 Department of Homeland Security officers and some Department of Justice staffers. The attacks took place in October 2015...

• In January 2016, a hackers associated with the same group accessed personal email and phone accounts belonging to the director of National Intelligence, James Clapper. The group also broke into the AOL email of the FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano. They also broke into Clapper’s and his wife’s emails, home phone and internet connection. While in control of Clapper’s FIOS connection, they said they redirected all calls to his number to the Free the Palestine movement. How did the CIA director, the director of National Intelligence, officials of DHS and the 31,000 FBI agents get hacked?

• It gets worse. For CIA Director Brennan, who recently called President Trump’s meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin “treasonous,” it was the second time his personal email account was hacked. The first time was by a 15-year-old British hacker, a story that received virtually no media coverage in the U.S...

When the CIA director and his boss, the director of National Intelligence, along with 21,000 FBI agents are hacked, one of them by a 15-year-old boy, it makes you wonder how much credibility the intelligence community has in their certainty about Russia leaking hacked documents from Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. 
As President Trump tweeted: “Julian Assange said ‘a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta’ – why was DNC so careless?”

• Office of Personnel Management Director Katherine Archuleta resigned in July 2015, a day after revealing the largest government data breach in American history. She got the job directing all human resources management for the federal government – from recruitment, hiring, development and support – after serving in Obama’s re-election campaign in 2008. The attack has been attributed to the Chinese government..."

Jeff Sessions repeats 'Lock her up' chant as he accuses colleges of creating snowflakes - Washington Times:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Tuesday told a group of conservative high school students that colleges have created a generation of “sanctimonious, sensitive, supercilious snowflakes.”
He also chuckled at a chant of “Lock her up” during the speech, referencing a rallying cry used by then-candidate Donald Trump against his 2016 presidential election opponent, Hillary Clinton.
Mr. Trump used the “Lock her up” catchphrase as part of his claim that Mrs. Clinton should be jailed for her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

Is Society Destroying the Kind of Women Men Want? | Intellectual Takeout

Is Society Destroying the Kind of Women Men Want? | Intellectual Takeout: 
"...The Telegraph describes a popular Reddit thread which asks, “What is something women think makes them more attractive to men while men think it makes them less attractive?” and then goes on to list some of the more surprising responses:
“Upper-lip piercings are deemed ‘trashy’. 
Tracksuits with the word ‘juicy’ emblazoned on the posterior are a no-no, as are hoop earrings, 'old lady perfume', ballerina shoes, long nails or bold lip colours (unless, you are one of those women who can 'rock it')...
...the responses the men gave made me stop and think. 
If their answers could be boiled down to a few words, they would likely say that they are uninterested in women who act as self-absorbed attention seekers.
Unfortunately, many in today’s society – both men and women – have been trained to be just that.
Parents have been told to center life around their child in order to promote their self-esteem. 
Students increasingly suffer from “emotional dependency,” a condition in which it’s difficult to function without continual affirmation and praise. 
Society has normalized the Culture of Narcissism, which leads toward “dependence on the vicarious warmth provided by others, … calculating seductiveness, … and deteriorating relations between men and women.”...

Freedom and Independence

By Tammy Derouin

We are blessed to live in a country where our God-given rights are acknowledge and protected by the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution is a liberating document because it restricts and limits the power of the government. The government is empowered by the people and is not supposed to make laws which infringe upon or restrict our rights. The Constitution establishes that we are a land of laws not men. The founding fathers also made clear that we are a Republic not a true democracy.

Sadly, many do not understand how our system of government works. They call for radical changes which would fundamentally change our country from its original intent of freedom and independence to enslavement and dependency. Separation of powers and the checks and balance they are supposed to provide is vital so that one branch doesn't become too powerful. The Electoral College is another good example. It is vital to our Republic but people need to understand how and why it works. Do those who call for such changes understand that if their attempts are successful, it would turn back the hands of time? We the people need to understand when destructive forces are attempting to destroy us. Once freedom is gone, there's a good chance it is gone forever.

For far too many years, our government was in the hands of corrupt individuals who sought to destroy our founding principles, our system of government and our security.......

Firing a Bad Federal Employee May Get a Little Easier | The Heritage Foundation
"KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Federal employees have the highest job security of any sector of the economy.
• But two bills moving through Congress now would make it much easier for federal managers to take action when an employee is simply not getting the job done.
• When Trump issued three executive orders that made it easier to fire poorly performing government employees, a majority of public-sector workers were on board.

Holding federal employees accountable is essentially impossible.
 They have the highest job security of any sector of the economy. 
In fact, out of a federal non-military workforce of 2.1 million, only 11,046 persons—or 0.5 percent—were fired in 2017..."
