Trump Wins Michigan; Becomes First Republican to Do So Since 1988

Trump Wins Michigan; Becomes First Republican to Do So Since 1988:

"Donald Trump has officially won the state of Michigan, making him the first Republican to do so since George H. W. Bush in 1988.
In the tightest race in Michigan’s electoral history, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by 10,704 votes after results from all 83 of the state’s county clerks were counted and certified.

This brings Donald Trump’s electoral vote total to 306. Hillary Clinton’s is 232."

No Time for Showtime | Mickey Kaus:
Does President-Elect Trump understand:
1) That the immigration issue is at the heart of his election. 
The Trump supporters who voted on the issue not only reflect majority support for most of his policies, but they tend to care about the issue intensely.
 If Trump backs down on the clear policies in his big August 31 immigration speech, including
On day one, we will begin working on an impenetrable, physical, tall, power, beautiful southern border wall.
he will dissolve this base of support. 
Since he has no other big base of support — not the Democrats who hate him, not established Republicans, who may hate him even more — he’ll be Wile E. Coyote in mid-air, with nothing under him.  (Psst. It takes a simple majority to impeach.)
2) That by design, tradition, and circumstance, it’s grindingly hard for a president to get new laws through Congress. 
Our presidents are weak that way. 
One of the few proven openings for action is the first 100 or so days of a new administration, when the public’s most willing to give an incoming chief executive the chance to try his policies. 
If Trump doesn’t appoint people who will push hard from their first minute in office, he’s unlikely to get the laws — to expand the E-Verify system (to check the status of new hires), lower future legal immigration levels, maybe funding for the wall  — he needs.
Much more.

Taylor Volk, North Park University student, fabricated anti-gay 'Trump' notes

Taylor Volk, North Park University student, fabricated anti-gay 'Trump' notes - Washington Times
"An openly bisexual Chicago student who claimed she received anti-gay, pro-Donald Trump notes and emails after the election is found to have fabricated the entire story, North Park University said.
Taylor Volk told a local NBC News affiliate that she found one of the notes taped to her door at her off-campus residence, which read “Back to hell” and “#Trump” along with homophobic slurs.
“This is a countrywide epidemic all of a sudden,” she said on Nov. 14.
“I just want them to stop.”
She had also posted pictures of notes with homophobic slurs to her Facebook account, NBC reported.
The university investigated the alleged harassment and determined this week that Ms. Volk had fabricated the story.
“Sadly, we discovered that the incident and related messages were fabricated; the individual responsible for the incident is not continuing as a student at North Park,” the Christian university’s President David Parkyn said in a statement.
“We are confident there is no further threat of repeated intolerance to any member of our campus community stemming from this recent incident.”"

ALERT: Trump's STUNNING Move About Hillary Scandals May Not Be What It Seems

ALERT: Trump's STUNNING Move About Hillary Scandals May Not Be What It Seems:

"A lot of Americans, especially Democrat members of Congress, seem to have forgotten during the imperial presidency of Barack Obama that Congress is a branch of power equal to the presidency (more powerful in some ways). If the Republicans who hold a majority in both houses decide they want to continue to investigate Clinton, there’s nothing stopping them.

And Republicans after Trump’s election certainly sounded determined to go ahead, which could be the overarching master plan that Trump can use to his political advantage."

Energy Poverty Is Much Worse for the Poor Than Climate Change

Energy Poverty Is Much Worse for the Poor Than Climate Change - Reason.com
"Some 1.2 billion people do not have access to electricity, according to the International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook 2016 report.
About 2.7 billion still cook and heat their dwellings with wood, crop residues, and dung. 
Image result for Energy PovertyIn its main scenario for the trajectory of global energy consumption, the IEA projects that in 2040, half a billion people will still lack access to electricity and 1.8 billion will still be cooking and heating by burning biomass.
The agency defines the initial threshold for modern energy access as 250 kilowatt-hours (kwh) for rural and 500 kwh for urban households per year.
How much is that?
"In rural areas, this level of consumption could, for example, provide for the use of a floor fan, a mobile telephone and two compact fluorescent light bulbs for about five hours per day," the IEA explains.
For comparison, in 2015 the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. household was 10,812 kwh—43 times the IEA's energy access threshold for rural households..."

Democrats Promise to Do the Very Thing They Claim to Hate

Democrats Promise to Do the Very Thing They Claim to Hate:

"Of course, it’s worth pointing out that what the Republican Party did while they had control of Congress was not obstructionism. It was exercising their advise and consent role to a president who much preferred that his pen and phone do all the talking.

Now, though, voters have put the Republican Party in control of both the legislative and executive branches, which means that the opponents of imaginary obstructionism have become the proponents of very real obstructionism. If that doesn’t show you how hypocritical Democrats are, I don’t know what will."

Less than 3 percent of Ithaca College professors identify as Republicans

Less than 3 percent of Ithaca College professors identify as Republicans - The College Fix:
"Ithaca College has a total of 10 Republican professors between three schools: humanities, sciences and business — and four of the 10 teach in the much smaller School of Business, a survey of professors’ party registrations reveals.
Of the 27 departments researched, many lacked even one Republican professor, including the History, Philosophy and Religion, and Politics departments.
Overall, 46.5 percent of professors researched are registered as Democrats, while only 2.6 percent are registered Republicans. 
In total, 182 Democrat professors were identified compared to 10 Republican professors, a ratio of nearly 20 to one.
Asked about the slant, a university spokesman told The College Fix in an e-mail “We neither ask about nor keep track of the political affiliations of our faculty members.”
Many of the Republican professors at Ithaca were e-mailed by The College Fix to ask for confirmation and comment on being one of the few Republicans at the university — and the ones who did reply indicated they were too nervous to speak publicly about their political leanings...

Trump Aiming To Overturn Obama's 8-Year 'Job-Killing' Assault On Energy Independence

Trump Aiming To Overturn Obama's 8-Year 'Job-Killing' Assault On Energy Independence:

"Now, this is one thing Trump supporters have been waiting to hear.
In a video message to the nation that went viral almost immediately, President-elect Donald Trump laid out a series of immediate actions he’s planning to take right after taking the oath of office on Jan. 20.
But one issue is likely to energize Americans more than any other…literally."

Baton Rouge agrees to pay Black Lives Matter protesters $100,000

Baton Rouge agrees to pay Black Lives Matter protesters $100,000 - CSMonitor.com
"Four agencies, including local and state police, agreed to pay up to $25,000 apiece for a total of about $100,000 to settle a federal class action lawsuit filed by activists arrested while protesting the death of Alton Sterling.
Ninety-two protestors who were arrested last summer while demonstrating after Alton Sterling was shot and killed by police in Baton Rouge, La., will receive financial compensation from local and state authorities, whom the activists accused of excessive force and violating their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and assembly.
Rather than proceed to trial in a federal class action lawsuit filed by the arrested protestors, the Baton Rouge Metro Council approved a settlement Tuesday, agreeing to have four agencies pay prominent Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson and fellow plaintiffs about $100,000 in total..."

University of Michigan students demand segregated 'safe space' for African-Americans after Trump's victory

University of Michigan students demand segregated 'safe space' for African-Americans after Trump's victory:
"A group of University of Michigan students is calling on school officials to create a segregated safe space for African-Americans in the wake of Donald Trump's election, The Federalist reports.
The group Students 4 Justice said Trump's election means that they "now have their lives at risk," and that the campus police can no longer protect them because "the police, as a union, has endorsed Trump."
"Placing us in the police's care is an act of anti-Black violence," the group wrote.
The students demand that the university provide funding and hire staff to operate this "Black space," which would be designed as a "recreational and safe space for Black people at the University." 
Calls for similar designated areas for distressed students have seen an uptick since the election results rolled out.

REALLY? Township In New Jersey Being SUED By The Justice Department For Rejecting a Mosque

REALLY? Township In New Jersey Being SUED By The Justice Department For Rejecting a Mosque – American Lookout:
"This is yet another example of our politicized Justice Department acting like left wing social justice warriors.
If a conservative Christian group was denied by a liberal community, do you think the Justice Department would get involved to defend the Christians? 
Highly unlikely.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Justice Dept. sues NJ township for rejecting mosque
The Justice Department announced on Tuesday it is suing Bernards Township, N.J., because it denied zoning approval for the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge to build a mosque on land it owns.
The township in December unanimously voted down the Islamic Society’s application to build a mosque, which the Justice Department says violates the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.
In the complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the department said the denial was discriminatory based on the Islamic Society’s members’ religion.
The denial imposed a substantial burden on the Islamic Society’s religious exercise, according to the complaint, it said.
A fashion designer has refused to do business with Melania Trump.
Is the designer being sued by the Justice Department?
Of course not.
But why?
Because our Justice Department under Obama reflects his left wing values.
All that is going to change very soon."
