"We aren’t stagnating, after all.
... the Congressional Budget Office, which reports periodically on the distribution and growth of the nation’s income.
It recently found that most Americans had experienced clear-cut income gains since the early 1980s.
This conclusion is exceptionally important, because the CBO study is arguably the most comprehensive tabulation of Americans’ incomes.
...The poorest fifth of Americans (a fifth is known as a “quintile”) enjoyed a roughly 80 percent post-tax income increase since 1979.
The richest quintile — those just below the top 1 percent — had a similar gain of nearly 80 percent.
The middle three quintiles achieved less, about a 50 percent rise in post-tax incomes..."

What To Know About The Lawsuit Against Trump’s Asylum Policies
What To Know About The Lawsuit Against Trump’s Asylum Policies
"...These People Simply Don’t Have Standing
The Department of Justice argued in its brief that the plaintiffs lack standing to challenge the regulations at issue.
The Trump administration is correct.
To sue, a plaintiff must suffer a cognizable injury and, in this case, the changes to the rules governing asylum do not harm the nonprofit organizations.
The nonprofit organizations attempt to skirt the standing rule by claiming that the revised rules will force them “to divert significant resources to, among other things, understanding the new policy,” and “educating and advising its staff, clients, and prospective clients” on the new policy.
The plaintiffs also complain the new regulations will reduce their funding, which is partly based on the number of clients they serve.
Neither of these claimed injuries are enough for standing.
Perhaps recognizing the weakness of their argument, in a brief filed late Friday, the ACLU changed its tack, arguing for the first time that it has “third party standing” to challenge the new regulations.
...Therein lies the real regulatory change and the real complaint: To receive asylum, an individual need only have a “well-founded fear of persecution” on account of any one of five protected grounds, which is a lower standard than the “reasonable fear” standard governing withholding of removal.
But the “reasonable fear” standard is no high hurdle.
It merely requires an individual to prove that such persecution is more likely than not.
...But, under the new regulations, the only aliens facing removal to their native lands are those who lack a reasonable fear of persecution..."

Judge dismisses female genital mutilation charges in historic case | wzzm13.com
Judge dismisses female genital mutilation charges in historic case | wzzm13.com"The historic case involves minor girls from Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota.
In a major blow to the government, a federal judge in Detroit has declared the nation's female genital mutilation law as unconstitutional, thereby dismissing nearly all of the charges against two Michigan doctors and seven others accused of subjecting at least nine minor girls to genital cutting in the nation's first FGM case.
The historic case involves minor girls from Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota, including some who cried, screamed and bled during the procedure and one who was given Valium ground in liquid Tylenol to keep her calm, court records show.
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman concluded that Congress did not have the authority to pass the 22-year-old federal law that criminalizes female genital mutilation in America.
FGM is banned worldwide and has been outlawed in more than 50 countries, though the U.S. statute had never been tested before this case..."

Devin Nunes: 'Fourth bucket' of classified emails show info withheld from FISA court
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., revealed the existence of a "fourth bucket" of information related to potential misconduct by the FBI that he wants declassified.
On his way out as chairman, as Democrats will take control of the House next year, Nunes said his panel's investigation into the Justice Department and FBI is largely complete. Still, he said the public release of these "buckets" would help give his efforts a sense of "finality."

Findings from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) show that 97.8 percent of mass shootings
over a 68-year period occurred in “gun-free zones.”
The study covers 1950 through May 2018.
Otherwise, it would also include the November 7, 2018, mass public attack at Borderline Bar & Grill, in which 12 were killed.
The November 19, 2018, attack at Chicago Mercy Hospital, where three were killed, would not be listed because it does not meet FBI criteria for a mass shooting, but it should, nevertheless, be noted that Borderline Bar and Mercy Hospital were both state-mandated gun-free zones..."Read all.

Electoral Three-Card Monte: How The Democrats Stole Orange CountyThe American Spectator
"...While your eyes were riveted on the electoral red card — the cheating in Florida and Georgia — the street hucksters pulled a fast one on all of youze and swiped a bunch of House seats, from right under your noses, on the other coast.
Honest, admit it: you never saw it, did you?
They had you so focused on Brenda Snipes — is she still not in jail? — that you lost track of the other cards. The eight confederates — MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, New York Times, and Washington Post — were as focused as you were on Florida and Georgia.
And you never saw what happened in California in broad daylight.
So here is what happened.
All these Republicans Congressional candidates in Orange County and in other parts of the People’s Democratic Republic of California (PDRC) came out of election night as winners.
Two-term representative Mimi Walters in the 45th Congressional District.
Young Kim, an appealing newcomer to Congress of Korean-American heritage. Others.
And then, each day, as more and more provisional and other ballots kept emerging in the California count, the Republican leads dwindled.
But you had your eyes on the red card — the red states of Florida and Georgia.
...And meanwhile more Congressional ballots kept showing up in the Golden State each day, getting counted in the PDRC..."

- The University of Michigan student government has imposed a requirement for each of its representatives to attend a Student of Color (SOC) organization event at least once per academic month.
- The student government cited a “depressed voice for students of color” due to a majority of the student government’s reps being white, as well as the “exclusion, microaggressions, and hate crimes” currently faced by UMich students of color.

Luis Cobos-Cenobio, illegal immigrant in Arkansas police shootout, in U.S. under DACA, ICE says - Washington Times
Luis Cobos-Cenobio, illegal immigrant in Arkansas police shootout, in U.S. under DACA, ICE says - Washington Times:
The Obama administration concluded that even illegal immigrants with some criminal charges should be eligible for DACA, which explains how Mr. Cobos-Cenobio’s 2015 arrest on drug possession charges did not cause him to be expelled from the program, much less be deported.
“This is the kind of thing that happens when you don’t enforce standards,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director at the Center for Immigration Studies. “The idea that DACAs are all choir boys is obviously untrue, and yet the Obama administration was much too willing to let people with criminal records avoid deportation.”

The New York Times Reveals the Horrors of Capitalism—By Showing China’s State-Run Hospitals | Intellectual Takeout
"The New York Times released a 10-minute video last month entitled “How Capitalism Ruined China’s Health Care System.”
The video attempts to blame capitalism for the many problems in China’s health care system.
“Under Mao Zedong the Communist state provided free health care for all,” the narrator tells us. “Decades later China adopted a unique brand of capitalism that transformed the country from a poor farming nation into an economic superpower. Life expectancy soared. But the introduction of capitalism and the retreat of the state meant that health care was no longer free.”
...All of the horrors depicted in the high-quality video—the long lines, the scalping, and the hospital fights—occurred at government-run health care facilities.
If the Times had visited one of China’s many private health care facilities, they would have found something quite different.
I know first-hand how outstanding the care at private facilities is in China..."

Hey Celine, go peddle your Marxist propaganda somewhere else - Glenn Beck:
Our children are not really ours? This is Marxist propaganda bull crap. This is disgusting. This is exactly what the new left want to brainwash you into believing. That they hold the reins to everything in your life. They can tell you where you can receive healthcare. They can tell you how to run your business. They control your children's education curriculum. They own you… and especially your kids.

...The question that I found most interesting, however, is the one which asked if a comment on a woman’s attractiveness can be classified as sexual harassment. Although many respondents gave a negative answer, those answering in the U.S. were a different matter. Roughly a third of younger individuals thought such treatment can be classified as sexual harassment..."

CNN’s Kirsten Powers: White Women Who Support Trump Are All ‘Racist’
CNN contributor Kirsten Powers declared on air Friday that
all white females who supported President Donald Trump were “racist.”
Powers, referring to white females who support Trump, said, “They’ll say, ‘Well, I’m not racist. I just voted for him because, you know, I didn’t like Hillary Clinton. And I just want to say that that’s not–that doesn’t make you not racist. It actually makes you racist. If you support somebody who does racist things, that makes you racist. So, I want to establish that.”
...While not offering her views on Trump-supporting white females, Powers can be caught giving lectures on the virtues of appropriate Halloween costumes:
...While not offering her views on Trump-supporting white females, Powers can be caught giving lectures on the virtues of appropriate Halloween costumes:
Dear white people who are upset that you can't dress up as another race or culture for Halloween: your feelings don't matter. The only feelings that matter are of those who feel disrespected/mocked by you appropriating their culture for entertainment.
Show some common decency.

We’re determined to fight this egregious measure because constitutionally-protected rights should never be subject to a popularity vote. The wealthy elitists behind I-1639 want to turn a right into a regulated privilege. This measure was only designed to have a chilling effect on the exercise of a constitutional right by honest citizens while having no impact at all on criminals, and we cannot let it go unchallenged.
