The Left’s Idea of Generosity
The Left’s Idea of Generosity:
While progressives tout government spending and public programs as the solution for the working family’s ills, the taxation and regulation their agenda requires actually creates an ossified market with larger companies, less innovation and slower growth. In a vicious circle, an ever larger and more powerful government facilitates crony capitalism, whereby political insiders use their influence to benefit favored companies and industries, which in turn support the political establishment. The result? Americans lower down the economic ladder can’t move up.
At the same time, liberals are happy to dismiss or insult the ideas and traditions many Americans in the middle of the country hold dear.

The inconvenient truths behind the 'Planetary Health' diet | GreenBiz
"Can we eat our way not only to better health, but also to a better planet?
That is the question addressed by the EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets from Sustainable Food Systems (PDF), which launched its global Planetary Health dietary recommendations at the United Nations.
...The importance, complexity and scale of this task cannot be overstated.
More than 800 million people on the planet do not have enough to eat.
Meanwhile, the diets of many of the other 7 billion citizens are driving a pandemic of "western" diseases.
Diet-driven chronic diseases have been rising at alarming rates for several decades.
Today, 60 percent of Americans have a chronic health condition; 40 percent have two or more.
More than half of Americans take a prescription drug; the average person takes four.
America is the sickest country in the developed world.
...So, has the EAT-Lancet Commission achieved its goal of devising a diet that can reduce chronic disease trends and environmental damage while allowing us to feed billions more people by 2050?
Sadly, the short answer is no..."

Jobs Report: Trump Delivers For Workers … After Years Of Empty Obama Promises | Investor's Business Daily:
So why now, this late in the game?
The answer is simple. At least to those not blinded by partisanship or economic ideology.
For eight years, Obama kept promising "bottom-up growth," while telling the country that tax cuts and deregulation would only benefit the rich. But his policies — Dodd-Frank, ObamaCare, higher taxes, a regulatory tsunami — produced economic stagnation. As it always does, that stagnation hurt the working class most.
Trump went in the opposite direction. His pro-growth tax cuts, deregulatory campaign and pro-energy policies fueled huge increases in economic optimism and turbocharged the economy. And now we're seeing real job growth and strong wage gains for the first time in more than a decade.
You tell us which approach is proving more worker friendly.

Five SOTU Thoughts: Maxine, Pelosi I, White Dem Privilege, Socialism and Fighting Back against Abortion – Da Tech Guy Blog
Five SOTU Thoughts: Maxine, Pelosi I, White Dem Privilege, Socialism and Fighting Back against Abortion – Da Tech Guy Blog
"I’m not surprised that Maxine Waters was advising people before to not watch the President’s State of the Union Address.
If I had the MSM, print, television, cable, movie and streaming in my pocket pushing a false image of President Trump the last thing I would want is the American people having a chance to hear him unfiltered in his own words.
Was there a more foolish move for Nancy Pelosi to dress up Democrat women like Klansmen without the hoods right after the Northam business.
Not only did it invite comical photoshops but every time they failed to stand and applaud when the president highlighted great news like great employment number in the black community, the entire country was able to see it. What kind of people don’t stand for the stopping of sex traffickers of women?
Apparently the women of the Democrat congress.
Even more comical were the moments when they basically waited to see if it was OK to stand and clap or not.
How far left have the Democrats done when a declaration that the United States will never be socialist is an idea that Democrats reject en-mas?.."Read all!

...If any of you were wondering why Nancy Pelosi was determined that President Trump not give this speech during the shutdown, now you know.
If he could have given this speech two weeks ago the wall money would be there and more.
For a long time I’ve been suggesting that it would be very easy to mention a different person killed or violently attacked by illegal immigrants the president took the offensive putting those numbers forward.
That ability to do that.
The poll number from CBS and CNN on the speech must make democrats sick.

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
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:"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.
