WATCH: I Went To San Francisco. What Happened To One Of America’s Most Beautiful Cities? | Daily Wire

The Daily Wire
"A few months ago, Colton Haas and
 I traveled to the once beautiful city of San Francisco, hoping to have a question answered: 
What happened to San Francisco?
Erica Sandberg, a community advocate and journalist, broke it down for us: "Right now the major issue — people always call it homelessness — but the major issue is drugs."
While San Francisco has always battled homelessness and currently has about 7,000 homeless people, the drug issue is exacerbating the problem.
The city currently hands out more than 400,000 syringes each month but only 246,000 are returned, leaving 154,000 syringes left on the streets.
...The most shocking part about our entire time in San Francisco was not the drug problem— we knew that was an issue— it was the open use of drugs. 
...In broad daylight, in a playground, on a street corner, in a tourist district — it doesn’t matter.

Ignorance Is Strength, Dissent Is Stalinist | Watts Up With That?

Ignorance Is Strength, Dissent Is Stalinist | Watts Up With That?:
  • From the “Manntastic claims require Manntastic evidence” department.
"In an op-ed published Wednesday in the UK Guardian, Michael Mann and Bob Ward warn Americans not to be “fooled by the Stalinist tactics being used by the White House to try to discredit the findings of mainstream climate science.”
Mann and Ward are upset that “a group of hardcore climate change deniers and contrarians linked to the administration is organizing a petition in support of a new panel being set up by the National Security Council to promote an alternative official explanation for climate change.”
...Let’s sift through their mud-slinging.
Mann and Ward’s evidence that CEI preaches “denial” is an ad campaign with the slogan, “Carbon dioxide: They call it pollution; we call it life.” 
Well, in fact, so-called carbon pollution has done more to invigorate and expand the planet’s greenery than all government conservation programs combined.
Similarly, carbon-based energy has done more to improve the human condition than all other energy sources combined. 
...Contrary to Mann and Ward, the objective of the proposed President’s Commission on Climate Security is not to promote an “alternative official explanation” for climate change. Rather, the commission would examine the evidence for ranking climate change as a national security threat.
...One way to measure the sustainability of a civilization is its vulnerability to storms, droughts, floods, and other forms of extreme weather. 
Since the 1920s, about 90 percent of all fossil-fuel carbon dioxide emissions in history entered the atmosphere, atmospheric concentrations increased by about one-third, and the world warmed by about 0.8°C
Did fossil-fueled civilization make Earth’s climate less livable—or more?
During that period, the global annual death toll from extreme weather declined by about 95 percent, despite a four-fold increase in global population. 
Individual risk of dying from extreme weather declined by 99 percent.


As energy scholar Alex Epstein put it, human beings using fossil fuels did not take a safe climate and make it dangerous, they took a dangerous climate and made it much safer..."

2A Groups Furious After Court Allows Sandy Hook Families To Sue Gun Makers | The Daily Caller

2A Groups Furious After Court Allows Sandy Hook Families To Sue Gun Makers | The Daily Caller:

Image result for flickr commons images Gun Sore showcases“This is like suing Ford or General Motors because a car they sold was stolen and used to run over a pedestrian all because the car manufacturers advertised that their car had better acceleration and performance than other vehicles,” said the Second Amendment Foundation’s Alan Gottlieb.
“This ruling strains logic, if not common sense,” Gottlieb added. “The court dismissed the bulk of the lawsuit’s allegations, but appears to have grasped at this single straw by deciding that the advertising is somehow at fault for what Adam Lanza did that day in December more than six years ago.”
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), which filed an amicus (or “friend of the court”) brief sporting Bushmaster, said the court was exploiting a narrow exception to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) that shields gunmakers from civil liability in most instances.

"THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!
It is going viral today… It was sent to us at least four times.
Paul Hernandez produced a film that
perfectly depicts America’s pathetic mainstream media.

These mainstream hacks at CNN, Washington Post, MSNBC, etc. continue to spew lies and hatred against President Trump and his supporters. 
Then they lash out at the president and conservatives when they get called out.
It’s a never ending cycle."
This is EXCELLENT!

FYI: My buddy Jimmy, a Trump voter, construction worker and hippie conservative, just watched the video with me and said, “There sh*t never stops.”

We Are Going To Lose The Coming War With China

"Nations famously tend to always try to fight the last war, and what America is preparing to do today with the newly assertive China is no exception.
The problem is our last war was against primitive religious fanatics in the Middle East and China is an emerging superpower with approaching peer-level conventional capabilities and an actual strategy for contesting the United States in all the potential battlespaces – land, sea, air, space and cyber. America is simply not ready for the Pacific war to come.
We’re likely to lose.
In Desert Storm, Saddam Hussein was dumb enough to choose to face a U.S. military that was ready to fight its last war.
...Chances are that the Chinese will not choose to fight our strengths. 
In fact, those chances total approximately 100%.
It’s called “asymmetrical warfare” in English..."

Ivory Thigpen and Wendy Brawley argued the cost of the course, which Thigpen referred to as “Constitution 101,” may be transferred onto students. They also pointed to a representative from USC who argued against the bill’s requirement that students pass a comprehensive exam covering the course material to graduate.
Republican South Carolina State Rep. Garry Smith, who is sponsoring the bill in the House, pointed to several classes not required by law that USC could stop offering if it wanted to cut costs, such as a class on “Global Citizenship.”

Gender Pronouns Now a Police Matter in the UK | Trending

Gender Pronouns Now a Police Matter in the UK | Trending
"...Back in the old days, when "science" wasn't just a word you threw at a political opponent to make him shut up about the weather, you had boys and girls. 
Men and women. 
He and she, him and her, his and hers. 
Easy to remember, and backed up by an ancient system of arcane witchcraft called "biology." 
...In 2019, now that we've apparently run out of absolutely anything else to worry about, more and more men and women are insisting they're neither men nor women. 
They're "nonbinary." 
And if you address them by the same pronouns you used as recently as a year ago? 
They'll call the cops.*
...*No, seriously. 
This is now a matter for the police. In the UK, anyway.
A devout Catholic journalist has said she is being investigated by police after she called a transgender woman a man on Twitter.
Caroline Farrow appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain alongside Susie Green, whose daughter Jackie Green is transgender, to discuss the Girlguiding’s decision to let children who have changed their gender join the organisation...
Using the wrong pronoun could be an offence under the Malicious Communications Act, which makes it a crime to send messages that are indecent or grossly offensive, threatening, or contain information which is false or believed to be false, if the purpose for sending it is to cause distress or anxiety.
Here's a bit of a "breakfast telly" segment about it.

  • Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips asked students in Virginia what should be considered free speech and what crosses the line.
  • A number of students said that offensive or hateful speech crosses a line.
  • A number of students suggested that hateful, offensive, or rude speech should not be considered free speech.
  • "I think if it's, like, hateful and disrespectful to specific groups, then that's not OK"

One School's Undress Rehearsal for the Equality Act:

Image result for flickr commons images Girls School Locker RoomIt's ironic, then, Shaw writes, that the district is so particular about its dress code. "Female students cannot wear skin-tight clothing, yoga pants, spandex, tights, form-fitting blouses, or short tops that expose a bare midriff, short dresses or skirts, shorts... Yet the school does not find it objectionable to permit a female-attracted male student to view girls while they are undressed or for the girls to see the male student's genitals outlined in [girls] underwear." The whole point of having separate bathroom and locker rooms, she goes on, is "to provide an area for individuals to dress and undress outside of the presence of somebody of the opposite sex. Opening up restroom and locker room facilities to members of the opposite sex is sexual harassment."
Unfortunately, congressional Democrats don't see it that way.

Poll Shows Controversial ‘Right To Survive’ Initiative Leading – CBS Denver

Poll Shows Controversial ‘Right To Survive’ Initiative Leading – CBS Denver
"DENVER (CBS4) – A new poll shows the so-called “Right To Survive” initiative would pass by a nearly 2-1 margin if the election were held today, according to polling data obtained by CBS4.
...Initiative 300 would overturn Denver’s camping ban and allow the homeless to camp on sidewalks, in parks and any public spaces. 
It would also allow living in cars.
Supporters of Initiative 300 say Denver’s 2012 camping ban puts the lives of the homeless at risk since it does not allow them to use anything to protect themselves from the elements beyond their clothing.
They also say there are not enough beds in shelters to accommodate Denver’s homeless population.
“This is a human rights issue,” said Mercuri..."

Yes, They REALLY ARE Coming For Your Kids | The American Conservative

Yes, They REALLY ARE Coming For Your Kids | The American Conservative
News from the UK:
The parents of an autistic teenage boy were warned he would be taken into care after they objected to him being given powerful hormone drugs to help him change sex.
Doctors at an NHS clinic had recommended he be given puberty-blockers – which delay adolescence – after the youngster declared he believed he was female.
But his mother and father, fearing the potential side-effects of the drugs, stopped him going to the clinic. And they suspected his abrupt decision to change sex was a result of his autism.
After the boy told the school he had been barred from treatment, a teacher told his parents that they should find alternative accommodation for their son or else he would be put into temporary foster care. And the school reported the couple to children’s services for being ‘emotionally abusive’ to their son by not supporting his wish to change gender.
A month later, the local authority placed him in a child protection plan after social workers concluded he was likely to suffer ‘significant harm’ under his parents’ care.
See the source imageThe Mail On Sunday reports that at least three children in Britain were put into foster care by the state last year because their parents wouldn’t agree to transgender treatment. The boy was struggling to cope with school because of his Asperger’s and autism. When he started to self-harm, his parents asked his doctor to refer him to children’s mental health services.
When the child met with a child psychotherapist, he said he believed he was female. According to the parents, that was the first the boy had ever said of such a thing. They assumed that it was another of his autistic obsessions (parents of kids on the spectrum are well aware of how these kids become obsessed with particular topics, and then drop them as suddenly as they acquired the obsession). Too late! The state therapy bureaucracy already had its claws sunk into the boy.
