"We seem to be moving steadily in the direction of a society where no one is responsible for what he himself did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did, either in the present or in the past."

Allen West: The High Cost of Education in America – Indoctrination

Allen West: The High Cost of Education in America – Indoctrination
"One of my previous CNSNews.com commentaries was on the progressive, socialist left’s three branches of rule. 
Our constitutional republic’s three coequal branches of government – executive, legislative, and judicial – mean little to them in their quest for ideological domination.
What the leftists in America rely on to implement their agenda are their branches of the media, the courts, and yes, academia. 
What the left has always known throughout history is that they must control the message, mandate their ideological agenda by court mandate, and indoctrinate future generations … the real high cost of education.
There is a clear reason why the left has free college education as one of its “policy” platforms. 
See the source imageThey realize that their ideological domination in our culture is dependent on the indoctrination of our children.
This is what we see happening on our college and university campuses across America.
Now, we can even see this reach going not just into high schools but down into our elementary schools. 
Who could have ever imagined that little boys and girls of elementary school age would “identify” as a different gender?
Last week, something happened to which we should all pay attention..."

VERDICT: Jury awards Gibson's Bakery $11 million against Oberlin College

VERDICT: Jury awards Gibson's Bakery $11 million against Oberlin College:

Image result for Scales of Justice with Gavel Square
The verdict sends a strong message that colleges and universities cannot simply wind up and set loose student social justice warriors and then wash their hands of the consequences. In this case, a wholly innocent 5th-generation bakery was falsely accused of being racist and having a history racial profiling after stopping three black Oberlin College students from shoplifting. The students eventually pleaded guilty, but not before large protests and boycotts intended to destroy the bakery and defame the owners. The jury appears to have accepted that Oberlin College facilitated the wrongful conduct against the bakery.

The liberal media doesn't want you to know this!-----In 1920, Republicans Defeated Democrats' War on Women - TheBlaze

In 1920, Republicans Defeated Democrats' War on Women - TheBlaze
"...Hillary Clinton referred to Republicans as having "extreme views on women." Clinton spewed the following:
“We expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world, but it’s a little hard to take coming from Republicans.”
If Clinton is correct and the GOP does despise women, can you imagine what subhuman Republican legislators did to block women from earning the right to vote? Let’s check history.
Did you know that a 23-year-old Republican changed the course of U.S. women? Yes, a Republican! 
It was Republicans who defeated the Democrats’ War on Women 96-years-ago.
In 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified. It states:
“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”
...In 1878, California Republican Aaron A. Sargent introduced the 19th Amendment permitting women the right to vote. 
It was defeated by the Democratic-controlled Congress. 
Republicans re-introduced the bill every year with no success.
The times were changing.
Between 1910 and 1918, the Alaska Territory, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Washington all extended voting rights to women. 
Anti-women southern Democrats were losing a numbers war.
...Even with Wilson’s support, Democrats in Congress were able to defeat the amendment by two votes.
On May 21, 1919, U.S. Representative James Mann (R-Ill.) re-introducedthe 19th Amendment and it finally passed the House by a vote of 304-89
Ninety-one percent of Republicans voted for women compared to only 59 percent of Democrats.
On June 4, 1919, it passed the Senate 56-25
Eighty-two percent of Republicans voted in favor of the amendment while 41 percent of Democrats continued their War on Women. 
It was then sent to the states for ratification.
By March of 1920, 35 states had ratified the amendment, one shy of ratification. Many Democratic-controlled state legislatures voted against ratification – Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia. 
Of the 36 states to ratify the 19th Amendment, 26 were Republican states..."

Compare with nuclear power. Zero deaths, injuries, spills.-----(Germany)--Federal Environmental Agency warns of dangers caused by biogas plants - SPIEGEL ONLINE

Biogas plant in Lower Saxony (archive picture)Federal Environmental Agency warns of dangers caused by biogas plants - SPIEGEL ONLINE

  • Every two weeks there is an accident in a biogas plant

"Dead and injured in accidents, environmental damage caused by "manure tsunamis"...
...According to an evaluation by the Office, on average every two weeks there is an accident in a biogas plant, sometimes with serious consequences. 
Since 2005, 17 people have been killed and 74 injured. 
...In 2018, about five percent of German electricity was produced using biogas.
Actually number of accidents probably higher
...Considerable dangers, especially for the environment, are based on the paper, so-called manure tsunamis. 
...According to the Federal Statistical Office, biogas plants are responsible for the majority of water-polluting substances that are released in the event of accidents. 
In 2017, there were a total of 741 incidents involving 10.2 million liters of such substances..."

Nancy Pelosi Opposes Mexico's Promise to Keep Migrants | Breitbart:

Image result for flickr commons images nancy pelosiThe top Democrat in the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, is opposing Mexico’s comprehensive immigration reform deal with U.S. President Donald Trump.
The deal expands the “Remain in Mexico” policy which returns illegal migrants back to Mexico until they can be bussed to their asylum-court hearings in the United States. The policy is now keeping just 8,000 migrants in Mexico, out of roughly 330,000 who crossed the border in the last three months.

What Happens When Everyone Gets a 'Free' Lunch? Money Problems | Intellectual Takeout
"...In 2018, U.S. taxpayers spent $17 billion on these two federal school lunch programs combined.
Yet for decades, these programs have been plagued by misspending and improper payments...
...According to the Office of Management and Budget, the National School Lunch Program lost nearly $800 million owing to improper payments in fiscal year 2018, while the School Breakfast Program lost $300 million.
...the Department of Agriculture has “changed what it considers to be an improper payment.”
As a result, it is impossible to compare the most recent error rates with prior years.
That’s one way to clean your books.
Here’s another. In 2010, Congress and the Obama administration expanded school meal programs through a provision in the Healthy and Hunger-Free Kids Act called the “Community Eligibility Provision.”
As Heritage Foundation research explains, this provision allows schools, districts, and even groups of schools located in the same area where 40 percent of student enrollment is eligible for federal assistance (such as food stamps) to offer free meals to all students..."

Planet of Cops – Jesse Singal – Medium

"...The woke world is a world of snitches, informants, rats. 
Go to any space concerned with social justice and what will you find? 
Endless surveillance. 
Everybody is to be judged. 
Everyone is under suspicion. 
Everything you say is to be scoured, picked over, analyzed for any possible offense. 
Everyone’s a detective in the Division of Problematics, and they walk the beat 24/7. 
You search and search for someone Bad doing Bad Things, finding ways to indict writers and artists and ordinary people for something, anything. 
That movie that got popular? 
Give me a few hours and 800 words. 
I’ll get you your indictments. 
That’s what liberalism is, now — the search for baddies doing bad things, like little offense archaeologists, digging deeper and deeper to find out who’s Good and who’s Bad. 
I wonder why people run away from establishment progressivism in droves.
...You simply cannot say, in polite society, “basic fairness requires us to avoid a rush to judgment and to give people the right to respond to accusations.” 
To do so gets you lumped in with the criminals. 
Like a friend of mine said, “the only acceptable reaction to an accusation is enthusiastic and unqualified acceptance.”.."

Can't argue with this.

WSJ Dares to Doubt: What if Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Aren’t ‘Inevitable’, After All? – STOP THESE THINGS

WSJ Dares to Doubt: What if Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Aren’t ‘Inevitable’, After All? – STOP THESE THINGS
"When the Wall Street Journal starts to question the inevitability of our ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future, you know the gig is up.
Until now, the WSJ has been a champion for the wind and solar ‘industries’ in the US. 

Playing to the myth that the wind and sun are ‘free’, and that wind and solar power are both cheap and reliable, the Wall Street Journal has hitherto rarely fired an angry shot in the direction of the greatest State-sponsored fraud, in history.
So, when Mark Mills penned the piece below, we expect he also drew up his resignation notice, at the same time.
Mills expresses serious doubt, where perfect certainty once ruled the day...

  • What if Green Energy Isn’t the Future?
Wall Street Journal--Mark Mills
...Yet it’s both reasonable and, for contrarian investors, potentially lucrative to ask: What happens if renewables fail to deliver?..."

Information from Hillary Clinton's unauthorized, private email server were found on the dark web, newly released documents from the FBI show.
It has long been suspected that Clinton's server, located in her home in Chappaqua, N.Y., might have been breached by hackers, but that has never been publicly confirmed.
