Caitlin Johnstone: "Blithering Idiots Express Fear That Putin Will Rig 2020 Election For Trump"

"“Putin” is the number one USA trend on Twitter as of this writing, which is always a reliable sign that something very stupid is happening in American media. 
“Putin” is once again the hysterical shrieking buzzword of the day because Donald Trump openly boasted at a press conference of having had an hour-long phone call with the Russian president, in which he claims the two leaders discussed nuclear de-escalation, Venezuela, North Korea, and the discredited “collusion” narrative. When asked whether he’d told Putin not to meddle in the 2020 US elections, Trump replied, “We didn’t discuss that.”...

Donald J. Trump

✔@realDonaldTrump

Had a long and very good conversation with President Putin of Russia. As I have always said, long before the Witch Hunt started, getting along with Russia, China, and everyone is a good thing, not a bad thing....

So of course everyone is now in garment-rending apocalyptic DEFCON 1 catastrophe mode.

“It bears repeating: We have been given no indication that Trump or his re-election campaign will hesitate to take advantage of Russian help again in 2020, in whatever form it might take,” warned the Wall Street Journal’s Dustin Volz. 

“President Trump today continues to belittle Russian election interference in the 2016 presidential election, as well as continued election interference,” CNN’s Jake Tapper solemnly warned today..."

Asians Bullied by Thugs for Wearing MAGA Hats Were Korean Defectors

Asians Bullied by Thugs for Wearing MAGA Hats Were Korean Defectors
"On Wednesday, PJ Media told you about a group of Asians who were harassed in the street because they were wearing MAGA hats.
An individual who goes by "Bigalow Black" on Twitter proudly posted a short video clip on April 30 showing several street thugs harassing a group of what looked like Asian tourists.
"Not Around Here Pimp...Ain’t None Of That Make America Great Again Sh*t," wrote Black, who hails from Washington D.C., and Miami, according to his Twitter profile.
The video shows a group of black men surrounding the Asians, grabbing the MAGA hats off their heads, and throwing one of them in the air before stomping on it.
After PJ Media posted the story, Bigalow Black removed the tweet. But others on Twitter made copies.

The original tweet, which highlighted the ugly attack on defenseless tourists, was retweeted 3.8 thousand times and liked 7.9 thousand times. 
Disgracefully, thousands of shameless and un-self-aware Twitter users in Bigalow Black's timeline cheered on the attack.
It gets worse. 
PJ Media has since learned more about the individuals who were attacked.
"The Asians wearing MAGA hats were not just tourists.."

New Poll Shows Good News For Trump As Voters Give Him Credit For Strong Economy | The Daily Caller

New Poll Shows Good News For Trump As Voters Give Him Credit For Strong Economy | The Daily Caller:

Voters are praising President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy as unemployment numbers hit their lowest point in nearly five decades, according to a Wall Street Journal poll published Sunday morning.
Trump’s overall approval rating ticked up slightly to 46 percent, the poll notes. It also show that the same percentage of voters who disapprove of the president (51 percent) support his handling of the economy by the same margin. That’s a marked difference from 2017, when 44 percent expressed support for Trump’s economic stewardship.

EMP Electromagnetic Pulse: Countermeasures Urgently Needed | National Review

EMP Electromagnetic Pulse: Countermeasures Urgently Needed | National Review
"A threat that could literally mean the end of civilization is finally getting the attention it needs under Trump.
Washington and the press call almost everything an “existential threat” these days. 
But the threat from a natural or man-made electromagnetic pulse (EMP) really is one, as our congressional commission reported in 2017:

The critical national infrastructure in the United States faces a present and continuing existential threat from combined-arms warfare, including cyber and manmade electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack, as well as EMP from a solar superstorm...
The bottom line:
Such an attack would give countries that have only a small number of nuclear weapons the ability to cause widespread, long-lasting damage to critical national infrastructures, to the United States itself as a viable country, and to the survival of a majority of its population..."

Judge rules that high school girls have no right not to be seen undressed by biological males | The Bridgehead

Judge rules that high school girls have no right not to be seen undressed by biological males | The Bridgehead
"...Consider, for example, the fact that a girl got expelled last month for repelling a boy who was charging into the girl’s bathroom. 
From the Washington Post:
The plot to storm the girls’ bathroom started with a Snapchat message and ended with a knee to the crotch.
It all went down at North Pole High School in North Pole, Alaska — a small, Christmas-loving city southeast of Fairbanks — on the morning of April 4. The snap at issue: a student transitioning from female to male posted a selfie from the boys’ bathroom.
Some boys at the high school who saw the selfie, however, were angry and decided they would walk into the girls’ bathroom to take their own Snapchat selfie “as a form of protest,” Fairbanks North Star Borough School District Superintendent Karen Gaborik told The Washington Post.
So the boys, understandably, were upset that a biological female was in their bathroom.
Their feelings mean nothing to the trans activists, who insist that all of society must transition with them and things like privacy and discomfort with being viewed by the opposite sex in a locker room setting must simply be “gotten over.” 
And in this case, the boys decided that tit for tat would be the right response: If a biological girl could enter their bathroom, they would enter the girls’ bathroom.
But they would not get far..."

Trump Proposal Aims To Make It Easier To Deport Immigrants Using Public Benefits | The Daily Caller

Trump Proposal Aims To Make It Easier To Deport Immigrants Using Public Benefits | The Daily Caller:

The White House is considering a proposal to make it easier to deport low-income immigrants who are dependent on public benefits.
The Department of Justice has written a draft regulation that, if implemented, would greatly expand the number of immigrants in the U.S. who could be subject to deportation for using public benefits, Reuters reported Friday. The new proposal is part of the Trump administration’s larger effort to limit immigration from low-income foreign nationals.

Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight
"This Week’s Hearings

There were two hearings on the Mueller report this week, one before the Senate Judiciary Committee and another before the House Judiciary Committee. 
The Senate hearings were marked by such silly questions and vituperative charges, often by senators who are seeking the party’s nomination and want publicity, that I was tempted to simply repeat some of them for laughs. 
Other developments, which I will explain, preempted that plan, but I cannot resist this exchange between the fabulist Senator Richard Blumenthal, who faked his war record, and the attorney general: 

“Did you or anyone, either you, or anyone on your staff memorialize your conversation with Robert Mueller?” Blumenthal asked Barr.

“Yes,” replied Barr.

“There were notes taken of the call,” Barr said in response to Blumenthal asking who took the memos.

“May we have those notes?” Blumenthal asked.

“No,” Barr promptly replied.

“Why not?” Blumenthal shot back.

“Why should you have them?” Barr replied.

Not since Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld have I seen such terse, justifiable dismissal of blather and not since Edwin Meese have a seen a Republican attorney general who wasn’t a timid wretch.

As for the House hearing, the chairman set so many conditions for his appearance that Barr refused to attend and the takeaway of the hearing was Democratic Congressman Steve Cohen munching on fried chicken."

And at what cost?

Democrats Scared to Death of an Investigation of the Investigation - The Rush Limbaugh Show

Democrats Scared to Death of an Investigation of the Investigation - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

Folks, we had this fiasco in the Senate yesterday, and after Mazie Hirono, I shared with you an observation that I think one of the things that was behind her diatribe, I think they are scared to death of the investigation of the investigation. I think when Barr said he thought they were spying on Trump, that they heard a death knell. They heard the funeral bells beginning to ring.
And I think that what is underway here is an ongoing effort to try to discredit William Barr from this day forward on anything he might find, anything he might say, anything that he might report. Pelosi confirmed it for me today when we heard that she had a private meeting with the Democrat caucus and she openly accused Barr of having lied to Congress and that that is a crime.
And then it was further confirmed in my mind with a story at TheHill.com. “Democrats Hope Attacks Will Sideline William Barr.” Here we have a random act of journalism. I bet if these people could have this back, they would take it back. TheHill.com has admitted that the Democrats are stepping up their attacks on Barr in order to try to sideline him from making future decisions about investigating the investigation.

Left-Wing Ideology: A Cult, a Religion, or Science?

Left-Wing Ideology: A Cult, a Religion, or Science?
"More than a hundred years ago, prominent Marxist Antonio Gramsci wrote: "Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity.  
...In his point of view, socialism was godless religion, the cult of the messianic Marx.
...(By the way, this is something leftists have in common with Muslims.) 
They are mostly true believers; they aggressively reject any attempts to test the foundations of their dogmatic beliefs.
Leftists' behavior is utterly illogical to a degree one might call unscientific. 
Their irrationality is based on illusory knowledge — i.e., knowledge acquired through a system of beliefs, expressed by well known authorities (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Bernstein, Stalin, Hitler, Trotsky, Mao, and many others). 
Left-wingers acquired their false, Utopian beliefs throughout the entire history of human civilization.  Their undisputed belief of multiplying wealth by dividing it (i.e., by redistributing it by force) was the basis of numerous failed social experiments.
To avoid any confusion, let us provide adequate definitions of socialism (promoted by left-wing ideology) and its antithesis, capitalism (promoted by the free-market, or conservative, ideology)..."

Democrats preparing ultimatum for people of faith - WND

Democrats preparing ultimatum for people of faith - WND:

The Alliance Defending Freedom, a powerhouse of civil and religious rights advocacy, has joined other groups in denouncing the Equality Act proposed in the Democratic-majority House as a threat to faith.
“Essentially, the Equality Act gives people of faith an ultimatum: Change your faith-based practices or face government punishment,” wrote ADF’s Sarah Kramer.
