First, they came for virgin TP.....Toilet paper is getting less sustainable, researchers warn | Environment | The Guardian
Toilet paper is getting less sustainable, researchers warn | Environment | The Guardian:"Toilet paper – the one product that the majority of us use just once and flush away – is becoming less sustainable, according to research.
Analysis from Ethical Consumer magazine found that major brands were using less recycled paper than in 2011, while only five of the nine major supermarkets (the Co-op, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose) offered an own-brand recycled toilet paper.
The large-scale use of virgin paper contributes to unnecessary deforestation..."

Ted Cruz Gives Colin Kaepernick A History Lesson — Explains Why His Frederick Douglass Quote Is Misleading | The Daily Caller
Accordingly, Douglass stated that despite portraying a “dark picture” of America he did not “despair of this country.” Rather, he was optimistic about the inevitable downfall of slavery.
“I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope,” Douglass said. “While drawing encouragement from ‘the Declaration of Independence,’ the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age.”
Kurt Schlichter----The Liberal War On You
The Liberal War On You
"We are witnessing the death of the liberal political machine that the elite has operated since the end of World War II, and everything that it is doing to conservatives right now – the censorship, the threats, the intimidation, the violence – is proof that it is dying.
These are not the acts of an ideology in ascendance but rather of a scurrilous political paradigm in precipitous decline.
And it’s only going to get worse as those losing their grip on political and cultural power desperately try to hold onto it in the face of our populist revolt.
Be prepared.
It’s going to get uglier.
Our would-be masters see the stakes – their power, prestige and position – and that’s why there is nothing they won’t do, no alleged principle they won’t upend, no bogus value they won’t abandon, to put off the reckoning that their greed and incompetence have brought upon them.
It’s not just happening here in America.
It’s happening all over the world – in places like Australia, Hungary, the UK, Brazil, and Italy, uppity citizens have proclaimed that enough is enough, that they want to have a say in their own future..."

'Radical' historian Blainey challenges climate-change orthodoxy
'Radical' historian Blainey challenges climate-change orthodoxy
"Australia’s best-known historian, Professor Geoffrey Blainey, has challenged the idea that the current level of climate change is either unique or largely the result of human behaviour.
While agreeing the Earth was experiencing a warming period which had been under way for several decades, he said this in no way compared with much greater climate change in human history.
...He said human behaviour “may be part” of the reason for current global warming.
However, he said this did not explain how or why the climate had changed more dramatically in the past.
...He added that ice-core samples from Antarctica had shown that as recently as 1173AD - the time of Francis of Assisi - had marked the start of a “horrible” 39-year drought.
“You have to be very careful that you’ve got good explanations for the past as well as for the present,” he said, in relation to climate change..."

Trump’s Response To Condition Of Migrant Detention Centers: ‘Tell Them Not To Come’ | The Daily Caller
The president said it’s not fair for a legal immigrant to wait “seven or eight” years for citizenship while an illegal alien is able to “walk in” and be allowed to remain in the U.S. He then said “thousands and thousands” of illegal migrants would soon be deported — and that the process has already begun.

UK Now Sees Major Boom in Global Exports Crushing Remainer Lies - The British Journal: "The United Kingdom’s exports of goods and services has rose to a record high of over 620 billion. The UK has been booming since it decided to leave the EU.
This is despite warnings from the chancellor and the Bank of England, that claimed just voting to leave the EU would cause a recession.
The Government website has stated: “Exports grew faster to Canada (up 12.7%), India (31.8%) and China (15.3%) than to the EU (10%).
Goods exports were up 10%, driven by a demand for manufactured goods, while services exports rose 4.2% due to strong global interest in the UK’s prestigious financial and travel services.”...

"What advantage was there to Hillary Clinton in putting e-mails on her own server?
Gordon Miller, Entrepreneur and Investor-Updated Jul 1
"Ironically, I am uniquely qualified to answer this question.
From 2004–2005, I was the lead functional architect for the State Messaging Archive Retrieval Toolset (SMART), the official e-mail system of the US Department of State.
When I started on the team, it was under the leadership of Sec. Powell.
He had his own e-mail server, but it was in the server room owned by the State Department.
When Sec. Rice took over she too had her own server, but it was again on site in the server room. Neither had servers in their own residences or at a 3rd party location.
Powell did use his AOL account, but not for classified e-mails.
When I designed the workflow for the official e-mail system, I insisted that there be two features that were not negotiable.
1) All e-mails had to be cleared by 2 people, even the ones from the Sec State. That didn’t go over well since the SecState wanted authority to clear and approve their own message. I said NO.
2) Every message, approved or not, had a copy routed to a lock box where no access was possible by anyone except for audit or law enforcement purposes.
Both of these features were not popular, but it was the only way that I was going to design the system.
Finally, they agreed and I handed off the designs to the engineering team and they implemented it. The reason that Hillary Clinton had her own e-mail servers was because there was no way around the safeguards that I insisted be put into place to prevent just this type of problem from happening. Hillary didn’t want her Pay for Play e-mails and Clinton Foundation e-mails to be forever in the system of record for the US Dept of State.
So, the advantage that you asked about is so that she could run amok unhindered by the checks and balances that were put in place to avoid such corruption.
It is worth noting that the system went live January 1, 2009, 3 weeks before Obama was sworn in and would have been required for Sec. Clinton to use when she took office.
When Sec. Powell and Sec. Rice were there, an official system didn’t exist yet, so that is the difference that the mainstream media refused to report accurately."

Donald Trump Jr. Torches Nike Over Company’s Unpatriotic Decision | Daily Wire
Trump Jr. slammed Nike for its decision and suggested that the company should adopt a communist-style logo that meshed together the hammer-and-sickle from the Soviet Union and Nike's Swoosh logo.
He tweeted: "If the Betsy Ross Flag, the flag of the American Revolution, is too offensive for Nike to commemorate The 4th of July maybe Nike should go with this... seems to be more in line with their views."

Your Host, Kaepernick, Nike - and China - The Rush Limbaugh Show
Your Host, Kaepernick, Nike - and China - The Rush Limbaugh Show:
But think about this. You’ve no doubt heard over the years the stories of where and how Nike (what do you call them, sneakers, tennis shoes, Air Jordans) are made. They’re made in sweatshops in the jungles of Asia. The people that make these shoes are actual slaves. They work seven days a week. They work for veritable peanuts. They are youths in many cases, and they are paid practically nothing. They kept none of the spoils of the profits generated by the sale. So here’s this shoe outfit. Look, labor costs are the number one costs for any business and particularly a manufacturing business.

Five officers were drinking coffee at the Starbucks location prior to their shift beginning when a barista asked them to move out of the complaining customer’s line of sight or else leave, the Tempe Officers Association wrote in a series of Twitter messages...

Showtime Mocks Conservatives Getting Censored, Attacked - Hollywood in Toto
"Mini AOC is no more.
The child who mocked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a series of funny videos did the work professional comics wouldn’t dare.
The girl with the oversized black glasses and sharp comic instincts, alas, won’t be recording any more clips.
Why?
Her family reportedly received death threats for the tyke’s shtick and had their names doxxed, most likely, by hard-left thugs.
...It’s a reminder of what’s at stake in the current political climate.
While the Left rages against President Donald Trump, some of its members seem hell bent on using violence to stop him in 2020.
Or, at the very least, silence anyone who dare speak up on his behalf.
Today, conservatives are being ostracized, silenced, muted and shadow-banned across digital platforms and in real life for simply sharing right-of-center views.
Some conservative stars, like James Woods, are asked to delete incendiary tweets while liberal stars routinely say far, far worse sans a wrist slap.
According to “Our Cartoon President,” conservatives are too “whiny” about the issue.
The message is clear.
The Left doesn’t oppose conservatives being blacklisted from the culture at large.
They don’t look at social media platforms booting right-leaning talent or greatly diminishing their ability to earn a living as a problem.
Not even close..."

- Just ask Andy Ngo, the journalist who suffered a brain bleed after Antifa members savagely beat him. Or former White House Spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders, forced out of a restaurant for daring to serve the President.
- The restaurant owner continues to defend the decision.
- Tucker Carlson felt the Left’s rage, too, or at least his wife did. Antifa members marched on his home, banging on the door and scaring his wife so badly she called the police. “We know where you sleep at night,” they cried.
