Why Liberals Fear the State Department’s Review of the Nature of Human Rights | The Heritage Foundation
Why Liberals Fear the State Department’s Review of the Nature of Human Rights | The Heritage Foundation:
The entire edifice the left has built in the United States and abroad is based on a foundation of laws and policies that depart from defensible ideas about the natural rights of humans. Instead, we have been promoting compulsions that trample these rights.
America decided at its very beginning that the individual has unalienable rights to free speech, freedom of conscience, self-defense, private property (which is the physical manifestation of our labor), and so on.
Good governments secure these universal rights, while bad governments abridge them.

KNOWLES: World's Tiniest Surviving Baby Ends Abortion Debate | Daily Wire
The world's tiniest baby has been born. This is wonderful. The baby weighs basically nothing, twenty-three weeks old born and has survived, a wonderful feel-good story. Obviously, this raises some serious questions about the abortion discussion that we've been having for weeks because, in many states in this country, that baby could be killed. And in many states in this country, people deny that that baby is a baby, but the baby was born, and the baby is now alive. And this is how the mainstream media covers it.

Mass Shooters Pick Targets Where People Won’t Have Guns, Says Gun Crime Expert | The Daily Caller
Mass Shooters Pick Targets Where People Won’t Have Guns, Says Gun Crime Expert | The Daily Caller:
It is no coincidence mass shootings tend to occur in gun-free zones, where shooters know they are less likely to encounter armed citizens who can defend themselves, according to a gun crimes expert.
Friday’s shooting in Virginia Beach, Virginia, that left 12 people dead, occurred in Building 2 of the city’s municipal center, a designated a “gun-free zone” where employees were banned from carrying guns, according to the Virginian-Pilot.

Mexican government admits 80% of its populated territory is run by cartels, including key border areas - Conservative Review
"As of last year, the Taliban controlled or contested 46 percent of the districts in Afghanistan’s civil war.
That was enough justification for us to keep our military perpetually engaged there in combat.
What if you were told that 80 percent of Mexico’s territory is controlled by dangerous cartels, including all of the key smuggling routes at our border, and that the cartels are orchestrating all of the illegal immigration into our territory and bringing their members back and forth across our own border?..."

Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist: ‘Transgendered Men Don’t Become Women,’ They Become ‘Feminized Men,’ ‘Impersonators’
Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist: ‘Transgendered Men Don’t Become Women,’ They Become ‘Feminized Men,’ ‘Impersonators’"Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University and former psychiatrist–in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital, who has studied transgendered people for 40 years, said it is a scientific fact that “transgendered men do not become women, nor do transgendered women become men.”
All such people, he explained in an article for The Witherspoon Institute, “become feminized men or masculinized women, counterfeits or impersonators of the sex with which they ‘identify.’”
Dr. McHugh, who was psychiatrist-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital for 26 years, the medical institute that had initially pioneered sex-change surgery – and later ceased the practice – stressed that the cultural meme, or idea that “one’s sex is fluid and a matter of choice” is extremely damaging, especially to young people..."

Media Outlet Tied To Qatar Tricks Young Liberal Americans Into Spreading Anti-American Propaganda, Experts Say | The Daily Caller
Media Outlet Tied To Qatar Tricks Young Liberal Americans Into Spreading Anti-American Propaganda, Experts Say | The Daily Caller:
AJ has become a major video creator on Facebook, with its viral videos in the style of Buzzfeed or NowThis targeting liberal millennials. But unknown to some, it’s actually a branch of Al Jazeera and is owned by the government of Qatar, a Middle Eastern nation long accused of meddling in the affairs of other countries.
The AJ videos often focus on progressive ideals and are framed in a way that emphasizes the divisions in U.S. policy and politics. And Facebook doesn’t disclose the Qatar connection on videos AJ posts and apparently hasn’t blocked its content, even as the social media platform cracks down on fake news and hidden foreign influence.

'Third GE wind turbine collapse would be sign something's wrong': insurer | Recharge
'Third GE wind turbine collapse would be sign something's wrong': insurer | Recharge:
"Any third turbine collapse involving a GE machine in quick succession should set alarm bells ringing at the manufacturer, given the rarity of such incidents globally, said a leading insurer of renewable energy projects.
Fraser McLachlan, CEO of specialist insurer GCube, said the two collapses so far this year of GE turbines at US wind farms is already enough to give pause for thought.
“We probably see one or two of these a year out of a fleet of many thousands of turbines,” covered by GCube, McLachlan told Recharge.
“It’s not that common. In a very bad year you might get three.
The US OEM has said that the collapses – in New Mexico in February and then in Oklahoma 10 ten days ago – are being treated as “separate and isolated” incidents.
“Two that close together, from the same manufacturer ... you would begin to wonder...."

Al Gore Forecasted “Ice-Free” Arctic by 2013; Ice Cover Expands 50%
"Self-styled “global-warming” guru Al Gore (shown) and a gaggle of supposed “climate scientists” have egg all over their faces — big time.
In 2007, 2008 and 2009, Gore publicly and very hysterically warned that the North Pole would be “ice-free” by around 2013 because of alleged “man-made global warming.”
Citing “climate” experts, the government-funded BBC hyped the mass hysteria, running a now-embarrassing article under the headline: “Arctic summers ice-free ‘by 2013’.”
Other establishment media outlets did the same..."

William Barr seeks dossier's influence on FBI's Trump-Russia investigation - Washington Times:
The public knows that the FBI relied extensively on the Democratic Party-financed dossier, whose list of anti-Trump allegations influenced the bureau’s overall attitude toward the candidate and eventual president.
Now, Attorney General William Barr has made it clear he wants to know more: Just how far did the discredited dossier take the FBI into the depths of a nearly three-year Trump investigation?
“What were the standards that were applied? What was the evidence?” Mr. Barr told CBS News, adding that his focus is not on the rank-and-file but on senior FBI leaders.

When Radical Ideologies Corrupt Universities - Minding The Campus
"I keep being invited to talk about free speech on college campuses and every time I’m invited I make the same point: that this isn’t about free speech and this is only tangentially about college campuses. This is about a breakdown in the basic logic of civilization, and it’s spreading. College campuses may be the first dramatic battle but of course, this is going to find its way into the courts; it’s already found its way into the tech sector. It’s going to find its way to the highest level of governance if we aren’t careful, and it actually does jeopardize the ability of civilization to continue to function.
“Imagine what would happen,” Lehmann invites us to wonder, “if the behavior of St Edmund’s College become a new norm.”

~Bret Weinstein
Mike Nayna’s documentary on the Evergreen State College Affair, from which I transcribed the above quote from Bret Weinstein, is a riveting watch.
No matter how closely you followed the debacle at the time, there is really no substitute for this fascinating glimpse behind the scenes.
Evergreen academics can be seen meekly and repeatedly submitting to ideological manipulation and on a number of occasions terrified senior faculty offer transparently insincere professions of faith in the hope of evading the vengeful fury of their mindlessly sloganeering student tormentors.
The barely contained thirst for violence as the means to an end is palpable.
It is sobering to imagine oneself confronted with such an uprising, and if Weinstein is right, then this alarming phenomenon may be about to spill out of the university campuses to which it has hitherto been largely confined.
This problem has already taken root in academia in the UK.
Quillette editor-in-chief Claire Lehmann recently wrote about the un-personing of Noah Carl, whose crime was proposing that controversial research should not be suppressed, even though he had not engaged in any himself. “Imagine what would happen,” Lehmann invites us to wonder, “if the behavior of St Edmund’s College become a new norm.”
It is now creeping into corporate and government life too..."
