Report: Facebook's Zuckerberg Pushed A Top Executive To Publicly Disavow Support For Trump, Then Fired Him | Daily Wire:
In one of the most shocking stories to get little media coverage this year, The Wall Street Journal reported ten days ago that Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg pressured a top executive at his company to apologize for his support of President Trump in the 2016 election, and issue a letter just before that election explaining that he had switched his support to libertarian Gary Johnson.

Yes, it's the Bee-----CDC Warns Consumers That Kale Is Still Disgusting | The Babylon Bee
CDC Warns Consumers That Kale Is Still Disgusting | The Babylon Bee:
"ATLANTA, GA—An official report released by the Center for Disease Control warned U.S. consumers Monday that kale is still utterly revolting, and advised citizens against eating the disgusting green cabbage in any form.
At a time when consumer fears are flaring up due to an ongoing E. coli outbreak tied to romaine lettuce, the CDC stated the agency wanted to make sure people were reminded that kale is really gross.
“Kale chips, kale salad, kale juice—it’s all pretty bad,” CDC director Robert R. Redfield told reporters at a special emergency press conference.
“There’s not really a health concern at this time, but we just wanted everyone to remember that kale is gross.
There are hundreds of decent varieties of cabbage and lettuce out there, so let’s try and avoid the kale whenever possible, mkay?”
Redfield further stated he wasn’t sure why people kept purchasing kale in various forms or adding it to perfectly good food items.
“We’ve run all the numbers, looked at reports multiple times. It’s baffling,” he said.
“The stuff literally tastes like a clump of dirt.”
“Please, if you love your family, stop buying kale,” he implored."

Justice Roberts’ attack against President Trump was blatantly political and wrong | Fox News:

In a remarkably inappropriate and blatantly political statement Wednesday, U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts chastised President Trump for the president’s quite accurate criticism of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and its rogue district and appellate court judges.
The spectacle of the ostensibly nonpolitical chief justice engaged in a dispute with the president of the United States is insulting to the Supreme Court and to our system of justice.

►Pulled the United States out of the Iranian nuclear deal.
►Stood up to NATO countries for not ponying up enough money to cover the organization’s expenses and their own defense costs.
►Took on the news media and not back down, exposing bias and agenda-driven journalism intended to run him out of office.
►Put an intense focus on immigration, the importance of border security and the cost of illegal immigration, including U.S. citizens killed by the undocumented.
►Targeted the ruthless Salvadoran street gang MS-13.
►Picked James Mattis as Defense secretary, Nikki Haley as ambassador to the United Nations, John Kelly as White House chief of staff and Kellyanne Conway as senior adviser.

►Focused attention on Rust Belt states and give respect to white working-class voters, overlooked by the elites on both coasts.
►Challenged elitism and question what it means to be “elite.”
►Created millions of new jobs (the White House claims as many as 3 million) and bring unemployment down to 3.9 percent, the lowest since 2000.
►Focused national attention on the opioid crisis, including a look at doctors who overprescribe pain pills.
►Nominated impressive Supreme Court candidates Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
►Proposed and helped pass a tax cut and cut federal regulations.
►Pulled out of the Paris Agreement on climate change and defied global warming alarmists.
►Renegotiated unfair trade deals in search of better terms.
►Targeted racial preferences at colleges and universities, which often hurt intended beneficiaries by lowering standards.
►Refocused immigration debate by ending DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and trying to force Congress to confront the thorny issue of what to do with "Dreamers," who were brought to the USA illegally when they were kids.
►Shook up both the Republican and Democratic establishments and remain independent from the Washington cartel.

Donald Trump Says He May Close U.S.-Mexico Border:
President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he may close the U.S.-Mexico border if the rush of illegal migrants pushes border management out of control.
“If we find that it’s uncontrollable, Josh, if we find that it’s — it gets to a level where we are going to lose control or where people are going to start getting hurt, we will close entry into the country for a period of time until we can get it under control,” Trump told a gaggle of reporters in Palm Beach, Florida, according to a transcript prepared by Grabien.com.
“If you don’t have borders, you don’t have a country,” he said. “Democrats want open borders.”

Residents Patrol Streets in UK Town Where Police Have ‘Given Up’ | Breitbart
"Residents have formed a neighbourhood watch to patrol the streets at night in a town where police have “given up” investigating crime.
The volunteers of the Foggy Furze Community Watch group in Hartlepool, which has been active for the past three months, say that they had been frustrated by the lack of support from police after being victims of crime, and decided to get together to “protect what’s ours,” reports the Hartlepool Mail.
“We feel we have no option, but to try to look after ourselves,” said Darren Price, who came up with the idea of running patrols in the town, which has a population of 90,000.
“People are scared especially on the night. It is work vans getting broken into, houses getting broken into, anti-social behaviour.”
“We don’t encourage anybody on the patrols to engage with anybody who commits a crime, all we ask is report it to the police,” he added.

The methane!
From Yahoo News UK Rob Waugh Contributor November 20, 2018

Millions of termite mounds built by a single species are as old as the pyramids and cover an area bigger than Great Britain (PA)
"It’s a construction project unlike any on our planet: it’s the size of Great Britain, and has been going on for 3,820 years, since the Pyramids were first built.
But no humans have been involved in the huge landscape of 200 million mounds in Brazil – it was all built by termites.
Researchers in northeast Brazil sampled soil in 11 locations and found that some of it began nearly four thousand years ago.
Each mound is actually waste from a huge subterranean tunnel network where the termites have laboured for thousands of years.9 Busted In Los Angeles Election Fraud To Raise Taxes & Free Criminals Sons of Liberty Media

The charges, which were filed three weeks ago but made public Tuesday, followed a Los Angeles Police Department crackdown on suspected election fraud on skid row earlier in the year.

Unions still defying SCOTUS, refusing to let members resign
Unions still defying SCOTUS, refusing to let members resign
"After the Supreme Court decision in Janus v AFSCME it seemed as if the new rules were clear. Labor unions, particularly in the public sector, were not supposed to be able to forcibly collect dues from non-members and couldn’t make union membership a condition for employment.
But not every union has gotten the message.
Or more to the point, they know full well that they aren’t allowed to do this but are looking for loopholes to get around the ruling.
That appears to be the case with the (AFSCME) American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Local 13 in Pennsylvania.
...The union said they received his request but they weren’t going to accept it. (Free Beacon)
...employees tried going directly to their employers to ask them to cease the withholdings but were informed that management was contractually obligated to continue.
Are these labor unions we’re talking about here or the mafia?
You’re not even allowed to quit?
...For workers in these public sector unions, it must be like trying to fight a zombie..."

Despite what CNN says, there's nothing cool about socialism
The biggest misunderstanding is the notion that socialism (which is good) and communism (which is bad) are not the same thing. That might be true in theory, but it never quite works out that way in practice. It is impossible to separate socialism from communism because the former (an economic system) inevitably leads to the latter (a sociopolitical system). Why? Because centralized economic control only works if citizens have no rights.
Lessons From A Capitalist Thanksgiving
Lessons From A Capitalist Thanksgiving
"It's astonishing and a little horrifying that America's elites know so little about their country's history.
Case in point: Jared Bernstein of the Economic Policy Institute. Jared is an influential left-ish economic polemicist and a sometime adviser to Barack Obama on economic affairs.
I've debated with Jared dozens of times over the past several years, but what happened this week was especially disturbing.
Admitting that he had never read the memoirs of Plymouth governor William Bradford, he nevertheless dismissed the story as untrue.
"It's astonishing and a little horrifying that America's elites know so little about their country's history.
Case in point: Jared Bernstein of the Economic Policy Institute. Jared is an influential left-ish economic polemicist and a sometime adviser to Barack Obama on economic affairs.
I've debated with Jared dozens of times over the past several years, but what happened this week was especially disturbing.
On Monday night, I told Larry Kudlow about the story of the first Thanksgiving.
I explained that the first Thanksgiving was a celebration of abundance after a period of socialism and starvation.
It seems Bernstein never heard about this chapter in U.S. history; he called it an "exercise in revisionist history." Admitting that he had never read the memoirs of Plymouth governor William Bradford, he nevertheless dismissed the story as untrue.
But the facts are undeniable, and there is nothing to revise.
Bradford's historical accounts, which I quote below, have been read by schoolchildren for over 300 years.(Read on!)

...It's genuinely scary to me that a leading member of the left intellectual establishment--a group that will shortly rule both of our elected branches--doesn't know about America's first experiment with socialism.
On top of that, he doesn't care to know.
Neither did the philosopher kings who, ignorantly and blithely, imposed on our forebears a system that led to malnutrition, pestilence and mass fatalities.
But it has always been that way.
Men in ivory towers, ivied halls, foundation-funded think tanks or bustling newsrooms dream up new forms of social organization.
They write books, policy papers and five-year plans telling us all that is wrong with the way we live now and what could be done if we simply adhere to their analyses.
...When we remind them that their ideas have been tried--and found wanting--in the past, they cavalierly deny history, clap their hands over their ears and cry even more loudly for "change."
If we listen to them, we deserve what we will get.
