‘We Have Reached Peak Crazy’: Marines Reportedly Removing ‘Man’ From Certain Job Titles in Gender-Neutrality Push | TheBlaze.com:

"The move has proved unpopular with many Marines and sailors, with several branding it political correctness run amok.

“We have reached peak crazy,” a reader commented regarding a previous Times story on the issue.

“If a woman isn’t going to consider making the Navy her career because she is called a fireman or a corpsman, then I don’t think she was going to make the Navy a career period,” a reader commented on a Navy Times story. “We don’t need [people who are easily offended] like that clogging up the institutions that protect our country.”

CHEROKEE TRIBE MEMBERS to Confront Phony Indian Elizabeth Warren on Book Tour

CHEROKEE TRIBE MEMBERS to Confront Phony Indian Elizabeth Warren on Book Tour:
Democrat Elizabeth Warren was exposed as a fraud when she claimed for years that she was Cherokee Indian.

During her campaign for senator Cherokee Indian activists traveled to Massachusetts to confront Warren on her fraudulent past.
But Warren would not meet with them.

Legal Insurrection reported:

In Elizabeth Warren’s new book, A Fighting Chance, Warren claims to be “hurt and angry” that people criticized her claim to be Native American, specifically Cherokee. Warren blamed the Scott Brown campaign, the local Republican Party, and “some blogger.”

In fact, Warren has no one to blame but herself for her false claim to be Cherokee. ReadElizabeth Warren Wiki, and these posts responding to the claims in her book:

Twila Barnes, No Pity for Warren

Michael Patrick Leahy, Elizabeth Warren Repeats Her False Claims of Native American Ancestry in New Book and Elizabeth Warren History Of ‘Minority Status’ Listings At Odds With New Book’s Claims

Warren will be launching a nationwide book tour. Someone who wants to meet Warren is Twila Barnes.

Barnes is the Cherokee Genealogist whose groundbreaking genealogical research exposed the falsehood to Warren’s claims. Barnes and her team of Cherokee genealogists traced Warren’s family lines back to the early 1800s and documented that Warren’s family not only was not Cherokee or other Native American, but also that they never lived as such.

Now this…
The Cherokee tribe members said this week they look forward to confronting Warren on her book tour this month.
Sounds like great fun.

'3 Amigos' look more like 3 Stooges during botched handshake

VIDEO: '3 Amigos' look more like 3 Stooges during botched handshake - The American MirrorThe American Mirror:
It was like something straight out of a Three Stooges episode.

President Barack Obama, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto — the so-called “3 Amigos” — were hoping to look like the North American tough guys after the earth establishment shaking Brexit vote last week.

Instead, they looked like Larry, Moe and Curly.

Hands were flying, left hands were shaking, other hands were just dangling, waiting for any touch from a fellow leftist — it was almost as if someone’s hand was going to windmill and hit somebody else on top of the head.

Watch here:

Clinton outlines tech agenda focused on innovation, expanded internet access

Clinton outlines tech agenda focused on innovation, expanded internet access | Washington Examiner:
"Hillary Clinton unveiled a three-part plan on Tuesday aimed at stimulating job creation and innovation by expanding public access to technology and enabling college students to postpone payments on student debt up to three years.
...The comprehensive plan features three key goals: installing high-speed internet in every American home by 2020, providing students with access to computer science courses before they pursue higher education and incentivizing entrepreneurship by permitting students to defer their federal student loans if they become involved in startups or develop their own small businesses.

Students who launch small businesses in "distressed communities" would also be eligible to have up to $17,500 in their student debt forgiven under Clinton's plan.
...One unnamed Clinton campaign adviser told the Washington Post that the candidate's tech agenda could carry a price tag of $10 billion.
The former secretary of state's latest policy agenda includes the development of new government programs as well.
According to her plan, Clinton would create a federal grant intended for cities, regions and states that create "model digital communities" by making broadband internet accessible in public places and striving for "world-class connectivity..."

British Solar Industry In Total Free Fall After Subsidy Cuts

British Solar Industry In Total Free Fall After Subsidy Cuts | The Global Warming Policy Forum (GWPF):
"Solar power in the U.K. is collapsing after the government cut its subsidies, according to industry reports published Sunday.
The British solar industry estimates that it lost 18,000 jobs since the subsidy cuts.
The U.K. subsidy cutbacks are part of the collapse of Europe’s green energy industry.
...“All industries have their ups and downs, but the solar industry’s ups and downs are entirely dependent on the level of handouts from government,” Myron Ebell, director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the free market Competitive Enterprise Institute, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“The British government has realized that even in sunny Britain subsidizing solar panels is a waste of taxpayer money.”

British subsidies and tax incentives intended to support the solar industry were enormously costly.
Brits paid a whopping 54 percent more for electricity than Americans in 2014 while energy taxes cost residents roughly $6.6 billion every year.
Green energy subsidies in the U.K regularly exceed spending caps and account for roughly 7 percent of British energy bills, according to a government study released last July.
Subsidies had driven the energy prices so high that 38 percent of British households have cut back essential purchases, like food, to pay their energy bills and another 59 percent of homes were worried about how they are going to pay energy bills..."

Flashback: '60 Minutes' edits Obama's answer on Benghazi | Washington Examiner

Flashback: '60 Minutes' edits Obama's answer on Benghazi | Washington Examiner:

"CBS News' "60 Minutes" selectively edited an interview with President Obama in 2012 to omit his comment that it was unclear whether an assault on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, was the pre-meditated work of terrorists, or a random uprising.

Obama's uncertainty in that interview, conducted one day after the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack, stands in sharp contrast to when he stated indignantly during an Oct. 16 presidential debate that he saw the assault as an act of terror from the get-go.

Part of the CBS interview first aired on Sept. 23. However, CBS withheld specific portions of the president's sit-down from its original air date. Instead of running the president's remarks on the attack, CBS released small snippets of his comments throughout the final days of the 2012 election."

LIBERTY REVIEW

State of Weakness

By Tammy Derouin

The evidence is right before us. The current administration will stop at nothing to destroy our country. How bad does it truly have to get before the reality of what is happening is understood by all? How many Islamic Jihadist attacks must take place, within our borders, before we realize it isn’t the Second Amendment that is the problem, it’s the failure of our government to identify and eradicate our enemy. How much blood must be shed before the rest of the nation wakes up and understands that the government, which is supposed to protect us, is trying to destroy us?

War was declared on September 11, 2001. Our failure to identify this attack as a declaration of war has led to our current state of weakness. It led to an administration that sympathizes with those who wish to destroy us. Instead of focusing on the destruction of our enemy, they are focused on destroying the United States. The administration has been persistently targeting law-abiding American citizens. Government agencies, such as the IRS and the TSA, have been harassing innocent Americans while our enemies have been able to gain access by way of unprotected, open borders. The administration also seems to take special interest in weakening and humiliating our military by any and all means possible. It’s as if this has all been done by design.

We did not want to believe that this type of evil existed. We did not want to be accused of judging an entire region based on the actions of a few, never mind the history. Our carelessness has brought the war to our shores......

Holi crapoli, too many folks are nearly broke!-----Six Challenges to Retirement Security

Six Challenges to Retirement Security:

Many Americans lack the income or resources to save for short-term needs — so they raid their retirement accounts. "Unfortunately, many Americans are unable to save because they have low earnings, coupled with immediate demands that consume all of their income," according to the report (see chart below). "But the problem is broader than that. Nearly half of individuals say that they could not come up with $2,000 in 30 days without selling possessions or taking out payday loans."
Americans are increasingly at risk of outliving their savings. Overall life expectancy among Americans who live to 65 has risen from 79 in 1940 to 85 in 2014. Over the next 25 years, the number of people age 85 and older will more than double. "Today, working Americans who want to retire at the same age as was typical of previous generations must save more to cover additional years of consumption in retirement," the report warns.

Petition for Second Referendum Exposed As Fake

Petition for Second Referendum Exposed As Fake - Andre Walker:
"LONDON, United Kingdom - Pro-European spammers have fooled the British establishment into believing a million people a day have signed a petition to hold a second referendum on Brexit.

The petition demands the referendum rules are retrospectively changed forcing a second vote on Britain’s membership of the EU.
But doubts were raised about the authenticity of those signing after evidence that a code was being used emerged.
It shows how the petition website was tricked into registering millions of ‘signatures’ from people who do not exist.
Further questions were raised over the petition after analysis showed that just 353k of the nearly 3 million signatures were from the UK.
A total of 3000 were reported to be from Vatican City, a country with a population of just 800.
Most UK national newspapers reported on the petition today, seemingly unaware of the fraud.

Both the Sunday Telegraph and Mirror put the story on the frontpage.
The Independent has run multiple stories on the subject, at one stage crowing that the website kept crashing.
The petition is hosted on Parliament’s own website and rules at the House of Commons mean any petition with over 100k signatures is considered for debate by MPs.
...The referendum petition reads: “We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.”
It will be open for the next six months, at the present rate of growth it will have been signed by 1,800,000,000 or thirty times the entire UK population by the time it closes."
