Nellie Ohr: ‘I Favored Hillary Clinton’ | The Daily Caller:
Nellie Ohr, a former Fusion GPS contractor and wife to Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, told Congress that she “favored” Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign, and would not have researched the Democrat as she did Donald Trump.
“I would probably have been less comfortable doing opposition research that would have gone against Hillary Clinton,” Nellie Ohr told a congressional task force on Oct. 19, according to a transcript released Thursday.

What happens after rich kids bribe their way into college? I teach them | Anonymous | US news | The Guardian:
I know, because I teach at an elite American university – one of the oldest and best-known, which rejects about 90% of applicants each year for the small number of places it can offer to undergraduates.
...the latest scandal represents a new tier of Americans elbowing their way into elite universities: unqualified students from families too poor to fund new buildings, but rich enough to pay six-figure bribes to coaches and admissions advisers.
This increase in the proportion of students who can’t do the work that elite universities expect of them has – at least to me and my colleagues – begun to create a palpable strain on the system, threatening the quality of education and research we are expected to deliver..."

Here's what the Paycheck Fairness Act is really about — it's not equal pay for equal work | TheHill
Here's what the Paycheck Fairness Act is really about — it's not equal pay for equal work | TheHill
"Since pay discrimination already is illegal, you might wonder what the Paycheck Fairness Act really will bring about.
The answer, unfortunately, is rigid pay scales, hiring discrimination, lower wages, lower productivity, increased business and consumer costs, and lawyers and judges second-guessing employers’ evaluations.
That is a lot of consequences, all in the name of reducing the so-called “pay gap” between men and women.
That “pay gap” refers to an apples-to-oranges comparison purporting to show that, compared to men, women make about 20 cents less on the dollar.
The finding hinges on completely ignoring factors that employers consider when setting pay — factors such as occupation, education, experience and hours.
When such measurable factors are taken into account, the “gap” all but disappears..."

House Dems fail to override Trump veto in fight over border emergency declaration | Fox News
House Dems fail to override Trump veto in fight over border emergency declaration | Fox News:
House Democrats on Tuesday failed to override President Trump’s first veto as part of their battle over border security, representing a victory for the administration that allows the president's declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border to stand.
The president had vetoed a Democrat-backed measure to cancel that emergency. The House voted 248-181 on Tuesday in favor of overriding – but this fell 38 votes short of the two-thirds majority needed. Only 14 Republicans voted in favor of the veto override.

Risk of getting cancer from drinking just one bottle of wine is the same as smoking up to 10 CIGARETTES a week
- Experts compared the known dangers of smoking to that of drinking too much

- The risk of cancer from downing three bottles of wine each week is much higher
Having one bottle of wine each week raises the risk of cancer by the same amount as smoking up to 10 cigarettes, scientists claim..."
In the first study of its kind, academics managed to compare the known dangers of smoking to that of drinking too much
Researchers at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, Bangor University and University of Southampton carried out the study.
Dr Theresa Hydes and team estimated 10 in 1,000 men would develop cancer at some point in their lives from drinking one bottle of wine each week.
However, for women this figure was 14 out of 1,000, according to the study published in the journal BioMedCentral Public Health..."

Rashida Tlaib asks Congress if Trump should be impeached:
WASHINGTON –U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, followed through on promises Wednesday to introduce a resolution asking Congress to investigate whether President Donald Trump has committed any impeachable offenses.

If approved in committee, the resolution — which only calls for an investigation into potential "high crimes and misdemeanors" which could lead to impeachment — would then go to the full House for consideration..."

Mostly she was mad - mad that she'd lost and that the country would have to endure a Trump presidency... Hillary kept pointing her finger at Comey and Russia. 'She wants to make sure all these narratives get spun the right way,' this person said.

Trump orders historic plan to thwart EMP, warns attack would be ‘debilitating’
"In the first step of its kind, President Trump has signed an executive order calling for a government wide war on EMP, the types of electromagnetic pulses that can wipe out every computer, electric grid, and jet.
In joining the voices of those warning of EMP attacks, Trump called on his government to quickly generate a plan to detect EMP, protect critical infrastructure like water and electric sources, and also to recover if a hit lands.
“It is the policy of the United States to prepare for the effects of EMPs through targeted approaches that coordinate whole-of-government activities and encourage private-sector engagement,” said the executive order released by the White House..."

“It is time to focus on the Democrats in the House,” he said. “It is time to focus on the media and the Hillary campaign, the DNC, Barack Obama. This was Barack Obama’s government that did all this when the Russians were interfering with our election. … [The Obama administration] went after the candidate of the opposition party. They abused the FISA court system. They used opposition research!”

Fans of Best of the Web Today-Michael Smith
"If you want to know what a socialized medicine system (Medicare for All) would look like, look at the education establishment:
- The bureaucracy has grown substantially - many major school systems have high ratios of administrators to instructors - in Denver, for example, that ratio is 1 administrator for every 7.5 instructors.
- Parents have little to no input or control over the content and method of the service delivered to their children.
- Curricula is standardized and compliance enforced.
- Participation is coerced - legally mandated.
- Local school boards have become powerless.
- Funding is centralized and redistributed to make things "equal" - local school systems are slaves to federal funding
- Failing schools are largely ignored while high performers are discouraged
- Almost impossible to fire bad teachers and administrators
- The system rewards itself regardless of performance (or lack thereof).
- People who want to leave the system (homeschool) are punished.
- The system defends and perpetuates itself by requiring degrees in education - I am aware of a case where a Ph.D. in Physics was turned down as a science teacher because he wasn't certified by the education establishment as a "teacher".
- The rich and privileged escape the system through paying for private schools, the poor are trapped

Who is Tina Tchen, the attorney linked to Jussie Smollett messages? | Fox News"Tina Tchen, the attorney and former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama, has garnered scrutiny after messages traded with Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx -- about the alleged hoax linked to actor Jussie Smollett -- emerged shortly before prosecutors dropped all charges against Smollett on Tuesday.
...Tchen sent Foxx an early-morning text on Feb. 1 saying she “wanted to give you a call on behalf of Jussie Smollett and family who I know. They have concerns about the investigation.”
...Prosecutors on Tuesday abruptly dropped all charges against Smollett after the "Empire" actor -- accused of faking a racist, anti-gay attack on himself -- agreed to do volunteer service and to let the city keep his $10,000 in bail, in a decision that sparked outrage among Johnson and Mayor Rahm Emanuel, among others..."
