MALKIN: Triggering The Google Social Credit System | Daily Wire:

Armed with internal memos and emails, former Google software engineer Zachary Vorhies exposed how MichelleMalkin.com (online since 1999) was placed on a news blacklist banning my content from appearing on newsfeeds accessed through Android Google products. I do not advocate violence, publish porn or indulge in vulgarity or profanity (other than my occasional references to Beltway crapweasels). But I triggered the Google Social Credit System and there's no going back.
My apparent sin: Independently growing a large organic following of readers on the internet who share my mainstream conservative views on immigration, jihad, education, social issues, economic policy, faith and more.

The False Promise of Fish Oil Supplements - Scientific American Blog Network

The False Promise of Fish Oil Supplements - Scientific American Blog Network:
"...After decades of promises that they “may work” to reduce cardiovascular the lack of demonstrated benefit leads me to conclude that consumers are wasting their money.
...all studies of fish oil supplements conducted to date have failed to show any significant clinical benefits beyond those of standard-of-care therapy.
Consumers have been told so many times that dietary fish oil supplements promote heart health that it seems to be accepted as factual. 
But this conventional thinking is not supported by the science..."

Because though the headmistress Katharine Birbalsingh is black, she’s the wrong kind of black: a conservative who doesn’t believe in playing the race card or identity politics.

Today’s generation shocked they might have to care for their parents | ScienceNordic
"The Western world is ageing, and someone is going to have to care for all those old folks. 

But who?
Swedish gender research Sofia Björk recently completed her doctorate at the University of Gothenburg where she has interviewed 21 middle-aged men and women who have parents who need care.
Both the men and women in the interviews were surprised that their ageing parents suddenly needed them, Björk said.
“It was quite a shock to many when they realized that they actually had help their parents. 

They felt it was unfair, in a way,” she said..."

TPUSA Activist: 2020 Democrats Claim Ignorance, Refuse to Condemn Antifa | Breitbart

TPUSA Activist: 2020 Democrats Claim Ignorance, Refuse to Condemn Antifa | Breitbart:

Turning Point USA (TPUSA) activist and student Zach Doehermann told Breitbart News that multiple 2020 Democrat primary presidential candidates claimed that they did not know what Antifa was after being asked if they would denounce the organization widely known for terrorizing conservatives. Doehermann joined host SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily Alex Marlow in a Wednesday interview for TPUSA’s weekly campus report.
“Antifa is obviously a disgusting organization. They’ve been in the news a lot lately, and you never really hear people on the left denouncing them,” said Doehermann, who added that TPUSA activists decided to ask Democrats at the Iowa State Fair whether they would denounce Antifa. “We thought it was very topic, very relevant to the current news cycle.”

A sample of Utopian leftist thought today: Part II, Richard D. Wolff and the ice cream cones – The New Neo

A sample of Utopian leftist thought today: Part II, Richard D. Wolff and the ice cream cones – The New Neo
[NOTE: Part I can be found here.]

"...The wound is the entire economic system that “doesn’t work.” 
I wonder who decides what’s working? 
Obviously it would be Richard Wolff, for starters.

But here’s my very favorite part:

Redistribution tears societies apart, it’s— here’s the parallel: you’re going into the park on a Sunday afternoon, you’re a married couple, you have two children. One is six and one is seven, and you stop because there’s [a] man selling ice cream cones. And you give one of your children an ice cream cone, it’s got four scoops. And the other one, an ice cream cone with one scoop. And you continue walking. Those children are going to murder each other. They’re gonna struggle. What are you doing? And don’t then come up — ‘okay, you’ve had — you’ve eaten this part of your scoop, so give the other part of your scoop to your sister, or your brother,’ — stop. The resentment of the one who hose [???] his ice cream or her ice cream — you see where I’m going? Every parent that isn’t a ghoul understands, give each child the same damn ice cream cone—two scoops each. You don’t need redistribution if you don’t distribute it unequally in the first place. Capitalism is congenitally incapable of distributing equally

...But if you think for just a moment about what Wolff said there, you can’t help but notice the following problems, which are not difficult to spot:

(1) Manipulating an entire society by any means, including that of a guaranteed Universal Basic Income, is completely and utterly different in scale, scope, intent, and almost every single other way possible from buying your young kids ice cream cones.

(2) Among other things, the parent is an adult and children are children, and the parent or parents control the entire economy of the children (in this example, two children). The parent is in charge...

Mom sues county for giving her minor son sex change without her consent | News | LifeSite
"July 24, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — The Minnesota mother whose son was maneuvered through a “sex change” by county officials has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review her case. 
She is charging the government with usurping her parental rights when its agents provided her son with transgender services and narcotic drugs against her wishes.

The Thomas More Society petitioned the High Court Wednesday on behalf of Anmarie Calgaro, arguing that Calgaro’s due process rights were “trampled on” when St. Louis County and its referred health providers “ended her parental control over her minor son without a court order of emancipation.”

“It’s a parent’s worst nightmare,” Thomas More Society special counsel Erick Kaardal said. 

“Anmarie Calgaro’s child, while a minor, was steered through a life-changing, permanent body altering process, becoming a pawn in someone else’s sociopolitical agenda and being influenced by those who have no legal or moral right to usurp the role of a parent.”..."

Conservatives reject Facebook's instructions to 'pound sand' - WND

Conservatives reject Facebook's instructions to 'pound sand' - WND:

Kyl spent more than a year hearing the concerns of reportedly 130 conservative groups, and in turn, shockingly left us with a hollow report devoid of substantive policy proposals. This audit is exactly the opposite of what conservatives were hoping for.
"Facebook has listened to the conservative movement's complaints and in response has invited us to pound sand. It's insulting but unsurprising. Unfortunately, this is how Facebook routinely responds to criticism.
"No conservative leader or organization should accept this as a legitimate response to the undeniable issues we have raised. This is purely another superficial attempt by Facebook to placate conservatives with empty promises.

CBS News Investigative Journalist Explains How Mainstream Media Brainwashes The Masses – Collective Evolution
"Did you know that only a handful of corporations, 6 to be exact, control over 90 percent of the media? 
That means nearly everything we hear on the radio, read in the news, and see on television (including ‘news’).
I’m talking about General Electric (GE), News-Corp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, and CBS.
Ever since Operation Mockingbird, a CIA-based initiative to control mainstream media, more and more people are expressing their concern that what we see in the media is nothing short of brainwashing.
This is also evident by blatant lies that continue to spam the TV screen, especially when it comes to topics such as health, food, war (“terrorism“), poverty and more....
In the below eyeopening talk, veteran investigative journalist (and Former CBS NEWS investigative reporter) Sharyl Attkisson shows how “astroturf,” or fake grassroots movements, funded by political, corporate, or other special interests very effectively manipulate and distort media messages.

Former ICE Director: Every Crime Committed By Illegal Aliens Are ‘Preventable Crimes’ | The Daily Caller:

Homan was reacting to newly-released data from the Justice Department that showed a significant increase in arrests of non-citizens over the past two decades.
Despite making up only 7% of the entire U.S. population, non-citzens amounted for 64% of all federal arrests in 2018. Federal arrests of non-citizens over the past twenty years increased by 234%, while federal arrest of U.S. citizens only grew by 10%. While a majority of the arrests were due to immigration violations, a high proportion of non-citizens were booked for federal fraud, property and drug arrests.

Finally, conservatives have a street fighter as president
"Has there been a president in living memory who relishes a fight more than Trump?  
I don't think so.
That is a major reason why he remains popular with conservatives and has seen his favorability ratings rise.
Sure, I like President Trump's actions on job-killing regulations, tax relief, border security, energy independence, military funding, judicial appointments, and so on. 
But what really invigorates me and millions of other EverTrumpers is that he is fearless -- impervious to attacks by his adversaries and merciless in responding to them.
Trump is an oddity: a Republican president who stands up to the Left's defamations and brickbats and returns fire. 
His prickly personality is one driving force; another is Twitter, the social media megaphone he uses to bypass the legacy media's censors..."

One Of Kavanaugh’s High School Classmates Is Suing HuffPost For ‘Fabricated’ Reporting | The Daily Caller

One Of Kavanaugh’s High School Classmates Is Suing HuffPost For ‘Fabricated’ Reporting | The Daily Caller:

A former classmate of Justice Brett Kavanaugh sued HuffPost for defamation Wednesday, alleging that the liberal news site concocted a false story about their high school’s “party scene” as the Senate reviewed Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations of sexual misconduct.
The lawsuit accuses HuffPost and reporter Ashley Feinberg of publishing false information and failing to contact persons she implicated in a crime in a September 2018 article about Georgetown Preparatory School, where Kavanaugh was a student when he allegedly assaulted Ford in the early 1980s.
