Cryptocurrency Exchange Says It Can't Access $190 Million After CEO Unexpectedly Died : NPR
"The QuadrigaCX cryptocurrency exchange says it can't access some $190 million in bitcoin and other funds after its founder and CEO, Gerald Cotten, died at age 30 — without sharing the password for his encrypted laptop.
Cotten was "the sole officer and director" of the Canadian cryptocurrency exchange when he died, said his widow, Jennifer Robertson, in an affidavit that is part of the company's request for court assistance as it seeks protection from its creditors.
The debt filing comes weeks after Robertson announced that Cotten had died — an event she described as "a shock to all of us."...

Virginia's lieutenant governor accused of sex assault - WND:
Amid calls for the Democratic governor of Virginia to resign, the man who would succeed him is facing a sexual assault allegation.
Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax on Monday denied Vanessa Tyson’s claim that she was sexually assaulted by Fairfax at the Democratic National Convention more than a decade ago, the Washington Examiner reported.
The allegation came as Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam faced calls to resign after it was revealed last week that a page set apart for him in his 1984 medical yearbook contained a man in blackface standing beside someone in a KKK outfit.

All It Took To Clean Up This Beach Was A Fish Sculpture Named Goby
All It Took To Clean Up This Beach Was A Fish Sculpture Named Goby:"As some rumours swirl around the internet that there will be more plastic than fish by 2050, there are also some great stories about local recycling, like this one about Goby The Fish.
This local beach decided to do something simple, instead of just placing a ton of boring old garbage cans around the beach, they made a giant see through fish out of some barbed wire and mesh, and added a sign to it that said “Goby loves plastic, please feed him”...

Gavin McInnes sues SPLC over 'obsessive, malicious' hate labels - WND
Gavin McInnes sues SPLC over 'obsessive, malicious' hate labels - WND:
“SPLC’s defamatory, false, and misleading designation of Mr. McInnes as a ‘hate’ figure is purposefully deceitful and intended to tarnish Mr. McInnes’s reputation, disparage Mr. McInnes’s good name and work, inflict harm and financial damage, reduce Mr. McInnes’s goodwill and standing in the community, expose Mr. MicInnes, his family and anyone else associated with him to public scorn, harassment, intimidation, and potential violence, and to denigrate, malign, and ridicule Mr. McInnes to countless individuals and potential employers and partners around the world,” Monday’s lawsuit by McInnes explains.
It’s just the latest in a number of lawsuits against SPLC over its hate-group designation, which puts Christian pro-family groups such as the Family Research Council and the Alliance Defending Freedom in the same category as the KKK and other white supremacists.

Questions Media Should Ask Democratic Presidential Hopefuls (But Won't)
"Until now, the media’s questioning of Democratic Party presidential hopefuls has often been expectedly obsequious and misleading.
Questions typically come in two forms:
1) “Just how evil is Donald Trump?” or
2) A policy question larded with euphemisms and framed in a way that makes it little more than an in-kind contribution to the campaign.
These are just some of the questions they should be asking instead.(read all!)

Glenn K. Beaton: Let’s reinvent taxpayer-subsidized housing | AspenTimes.com
"Aspen real estate is expensive.
It got so bad some years ago that many workers had to commute about 25 minutes over a scenic highway from a cool little mountain town downvalley where housing is cheaper.
Comfortable buses with free wifi are available at heated bus stops every 15 minutes, but commuters always seem to like their cars better.
Many of those commuters were employees of local, big business such as Aspen Skiing Co. which found that their employees wouldn't work as cheaply as they'd like them to if they had to suffer that 25-minute commute.
...This being the People's Republic of Aspen, and the persons complaining being the persons who run the show, the first, second and third solutions were all … make the taxpayers pay. And so they did.
Now a person making as much as $181,000 a year can get taxpayer-subsidized housing for dimes on the dollar.
...The residents are chosen in lotteries, legitimacy of which some people question at times.

US Bishops Promote Bill To Ban States From Discriminating Against Religious Adoption And Foster Care Agencies | The Daily Caller
US Bishops Promote Bill To Ban States From Discriminating Against Religious Adoption And Foster Care Agencies | The Daily Caller:
Leading members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops promoted a bill Friday that would prevent states from penalizing child welfare agencies for faith-based policies.
Chairmen of three USCCB committees sent a letter to the lead sponsors of the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act of 2019 in the Senate and the House of Representatives, commending the bill for its potential to protect religious freedoms and parental choice.
The bishops noted Catholic foster care and adoption agencies face the prospect of being forced out of business in states that offer no such protection.

CNN Anchors Lemon & Cuomo Demand Americans Stop Wearing MAGA Hats - DC Dirty Laundry
CNN Anchors Lemon & Cuomo Demand Americans Stop Wearing MAGA Hats - DC Dirty Laundry
"What Lemon and Cuomo are trying to do to the MAGA hat is the same thing the enemedia at large has done to the counter-jihad resistance for years.
They associate it with something that is evil, something that it has nothing to do with, and then demand that others shun it on the basis of that association.
The idea that wanting America to prosper and be strong — be great again — is some kind of code for racism or hatred is ridiculous on its face, unless you’re a leftist ideologue bent on destroying President Trump and everyone who supports him. And that’s what Lemon and Cuomo are.
...Compare Lemon’s contention that the MAGA hat “just can’t be about what you want it to be about” and Cuomo’s fear that he not “fall into the trap of underselling the significance of the trigger of the expression to people.”
Here we enter a dangerous political territory.
After all, I would suggest it is fundamentally counter to the American political tradition to chill one’s wearing of popular clothing simply because you fear that others not wearing it might not share your view as to what the wearing means…."More

Democrats’ policies are not moral, ethical or humane
Democrats’ policies are not moral, ethical or humane:
A party that supports killing fully developed babies up to nine months, that has policies that are meant to keep more people dependent on government while they are living instead of giving them more opportunities to move up the economic ladder, that supports politicians that refuse to enforce immigration laws Congress passed and that implemented policies to reward hospitals for giving less care to sick patients on Medicare is not moral, ethical, humane and is certainly not empathetic.

Ohio man thankful to be alive after bystanders resuscitate him on Vail Mountain | SummitDaily.com
"An Ohio man is alive and well after suffocating upside down in deep snow on Saturday in Vail Mountain’s Marmot Valley before some other skiers and snowboarders, including a CPR-certified doctor, came to his rescue.
“I was dead. No doubt about it,” said Michael Laush
...Tom saw a woman in black and white “just screaming for help.
I didn’t know what she needed help for.”
...“When I got there, there were two ski boots sticking out of the snow,” Tom said.
...“It probably took six or seven minutes to get him out,” Karen said.
Laush said he stands 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 270 pounds.
“Digging that deep we realized we couldn’t get down to his face, so we started giving him a pull,” Tom said.
“I put one boot under my armpit and one of the other guys did the same thing and then we had a third guy pulling on his belt and got him out.”...

They want to cut our n*ts off!!-----Obsolete Man Skills You Should Ditch - AskMen
Obsolete Man Skills You Should Ditch - AskMen"When you picture a manly man — a guy who every guy wants to be — you’re often picturing someone pretty rugged.
Since strength and success are so intertwined with masculinity, a man’s man has to be someone who’s good at things and unlikely to fail or fall short.
In other words, in the popular imagination, a man has to possess skills in order to be a real man.
...if you’re at all interested in being ahead of the curve and exploring how to be the kind of man who’s tops in the near future rather than the distant past, then read on to discover which skills are becoming obsolete...

Don't Buy The Carbon Dioxide Tax Myth - It Just Means More Government Control
Don't Buy The Carbon Dioxide Tax Myth - It Just Means More Government Control:
"The carbon dioxide tax is like the Hydra of myth.
Every time some hero cut one of the Hydra’s heads off, two more sprang up in its place.
The same is true for the carbon dioxide tax.
Every time a version of the carbon dioxide tax is proposed, economists and other analysts deftly cut its head off, showing its promises of climate salvation and economic prosperity to be false, myths like the Hydra itself, yet two more versions of the tax arise.
Progressives and socialists embrace the carbon dioxide tax myth to promote more government control, their control, over the economy and peoples’ lives.
...These and other costs will eat up billions of dollars each year.
...Anyone who tells you paying a new tax will be good for you, especially a tax on fossil fuels that serve to power the economic prosperity we currently enjoy, is lying..."

The Corrupt DoJ vs. the People
The Corrupt DoJ vs. the People:
Let’s do a little pretending. You are living in East Germany in 1960. The Stasi, the repressive secret police, have arrested you. As you are languishing in prison, the state prosecutor asks you to cough up information that will be damaging to a certain individual that the state wishes to condemn. The prosecutor’s demand is backed up with a threat. If you don’t compose the incriminating information he seeks, you will spend the next 40 years behind bars and the state will go after your spouse, your children, and your best friend Fido. Everyone you love will be destroyed.
Ah, but you say, “This is America in 2019. That could never happen here. Aren’t we lucky to be living in the land of the free and home of the brave?” Well, guess what? This used to be the land of the free.
