WaPo 2016!! Where was the outrage then?!!-----Obama administration placed children with human traffickers, report says,
Obama administration placed children with human traffickers, report says,
The Obama administration failed to protect thousands of Central American children who have flooded across the U.S. border since 2011, leaving them vulnerable to traffickers and to abuses at the hands of government-approved caretakers, a Senate investigation has found.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, failed to do proper background checks of adults who claimed the children, allowed sponsors to take custody of multiple unrelated children, and regularly placed children in homes without visiting the locations, according to a 56-page investigative report released Thursday.
And once the children left federally funded shelters, the report said, the agency permitted their adult sponsors to prevent caseworkers from providing them post-release services..."

So the Epstein bust means Democratic 'faves' may roll out of the woodwork?
So the Epstein bust means Democratic 'faves' may roll out of the woodwork?:
The bust of Bill Clinton's buddy and airplane-mate Jeffrey Epstein, monickered by Forbes as "Palm Beach pervert," for sex trafficking in underage girls, is a complex one. The news is speculative about whether Epstein was being protected by Robert Mueller's special counsel's office, and why the Department of Justice acted now, given that he's been problematic for years. There's also his role as a bigfoot Democrat donor, same as Ed Buck and other perverts who've financed the Democrats. A while back, I made a list here. But one's thing's pretty clear, based on a tweet by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's daughter Christine: Democrats knew.

Do Americans Need Air-Conditioning? - The New York Times
"...Nearly 90 percent of American households now have some form of air-conditioning, more than any other country in the world except Japan, though that will change as global warming alters more temperate zones, and swelling populations and rising incomes in hot zones mean the folks there will clamor for AC, too.
On an overheated planet, air-conditioning becomes more and more desirable, solving in the short term the problem it helped create.
...There is an oft-cited study published in Nature.com that notes how building temperatures, once set to the comfort preferences of 1960s-era men in suits, disregard the “thermal comfort” of female staffers.
Come summer, Twitter invariably lights up with charges that air-conditioning is sexist, an engine of the patriarchy, in threads that in turn fire up conservative commentators eager to prove the daftness of the opposition..."

KLAVAN: The Amazing Super Power Of Donald Trump | Daily Wire"Donald Trump’s super power is now on full display.
As I’ve mentioned before, the president has an uncanny ability to make other people destroy themselves.
And what he has done to countless individuals, he is now doing to the Left en masse.
...Finally, Trump organized a delightfully Trumpian Fourth of July extravaganza on the National Mall — and the leftist commentators flocked to cable to proclaim the celebration the act of an evil dictator.
When the Fourth arrived, we had a split screen America.
Take your choice.
- In Trump World, thousands of smiling patriots of every race and religion were waving flags, enjoying a parade, and listening to a stirring non-partisan speech by their president.
- In Left World? Protestors burned flags. They chanted “America was never great.” Leftist commentators, politicians and celebrities expressed a vision of this unique and blessed country best encapsulated in an hysterical tweet from filmmaker Joss Whedon: “We have a racist, fascist president who’s using armed thugs in law enforcement & illegal militias to keep us cowed & hopeless & he’ll take the 2020 election by armed force & blatant, treasonous criminality & that’s us now, we’re the country with concentration camps so happy 4th.”
Which world do you want to live in? ..."

James Comey Takes a Swipe at Republicans About Mueller Report

Compare this with Trump coverage----STAYING ON THE CURIOUS CASE
"Scott Johnson of Powerline stays on the curious, nefarious and possibly deviously criminal case of Rep. Ihlan Omar (D-MN).
This is Scott’s eighth post in his Loose Threads In the Curious Case series.
In this post Scott chastises the Washington Post for covering for Omar — which is what the Minneapolis Star Tribune has been doing for years.
Scott has another Omar series, From the Mixed Up Files of Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Here’s a post where he questions a Strib editor.
This June 12 post is an example of Scott’s own sleuthing.
He is starting to get traction from other critical other media. So stay tuned.

CalTech Seismologist Shoots Down 'Did Fracking Cause This Earthquake?' Question

"...Dr. Egill Hauksson, a seismologist at CalTech, held a press conference Saturday in which he was asked by a reporter, “Could fracking in Kern County have anything to do with these earthquakes?”
In his quick reply he seemed to be stifling a chuckle.
He said:
He said:
“I think that’s — no. I think I can answer that — no. I don’t have to put a qualifier on that.“There is a geothermal area at the very north end….That’s the coastal geothermal area where there’s a — very large energy production going on where they pump water into the ground to harness heat from the rock. But if they had had something to do with this, we would have expected the activity to maybe start much closer to the geothermal area and then emanate from there.“But again, the reason we have a geothermal field there is in part due to the active tectonics. It’s due to the ongoing geological deformation. So in that particular area the crust is being thinned and pulled apart so heat can easily rise from the interior of the earth, and we are able to harness that for electricity production.”

77 Media Mistakes in the Trump Era: The Definitive List | Sharyl Attkisson
"We the media have “fact-checked” President Trump like we have fact-checked no other human being on the planet—and he’s certainly given us plenty to write about.
...But as self-appointed arbiters of truth, we’ve largely excused our own unprecedented string of fact-challenged reporting.
The truth is, formerly well-respected, top news organizations are making repeat, unforced errors in numbers that were unheard of just a couple of years ago.

Why do perfectly intelligent people believe in Climate Change?
Why do perfectly intelligent people believe in Climate Change?: Andy Edmonds, PhD"The operative word in this somewhat leading question is “believe”.
Global warming is a belief system with all the characteristics of a religion.
Look at how non-believers are vilified.
Look at how we are told we must make sacrifices to the god of global warming; to sacrifice little old ladies through their unaffordable heating bills; to sacrifice our countryside to windmills and solar farms; to sacrifice our cars and our mobility.
How did we get to this point in our supposedly rational age?
The answer, I believe, lies in the history of ideas themselves.
To grossly, but unavoidably, oversimplify things, the argument is as follows:
One of the major purposes of religion is to explain the seemingly random events that occur to us as individuals and societies.
The demise of Christianity in the West has led to, or was caused by, a rise in scientific rationalism.
...The success of scientific rationalism has spawned political and social ideas that ape the promise of predictability and explainability that Science promises in the physical world.
