BREAKING: Brennan Admits NO TRUMP PRESSURE To End Russia Investigation | Daily Wire:

"Tuesday, former CIA Director John Brennan blew a giant hole in conspiracy theories alleging President Trump had pressured the CIA to drop the investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, telling ranking member Adam Schiff he was “unaware” of any such efforts from Trump.

Schiff asked:"

Quackery infiltrates The BMJ – Science-Based Medicine

Quackery infiltrates The BMJ – Science-Based Medicine:
"We here have long lamented the creeping infiltration of quackery into medical academia in which modalities once considered quackery, such as acupuncture, reiki, naturopathy, homeopathy, and various other dubious treatments, have found their way into what should be bastions of science-based medicine (SBM).
Over the years, we have noted the proliferation of “integrative medicine” programs and residencies in medical academia, and professional conferences, the credulous teaching of CAM modalities as part of the normal medical school curriculum. (Georgetown University even had a program where acupuncture meridians and points were taught during gross anatomy.)
...Once hard-nosed, science-based medical journals have, unfortunately, started publishing what can only be described as credulous endorsements of quackery.
We’ve documented many examples of this shameful phenomena over the years, but I’m about to document a whopper of an example now in, of all places,
 The BMJ, which has now published two “state of the art reviews” on “integrative medicine” that can only be described as fully buying into the false paradigm that quackery needs to be “integrated” with medicine. 

• The first “state of the art review is about the management of chronic pain using complementary and integrative medicine by Lucy Chen from the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Translational Pain Research and Andreas Michalsen from the Institute for Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health Economics and Immanuel Hospital in Berlin. 
• The second is about complementary and integrative medicine in the management of headache by Denise Millstine, Christina Y Chen, and Brent Bauer, all from the Mayo Clinic. Sadly, both Harvard and the Mayo Clinic have become bastions of quackademic medicine.

The evolving language of “integrative medicine”—or whatever they’re calling it this week..."

After Manchester: it’s time for anger | Terrorism | spiked

After Manchester: it’s time for anger | Terrorism | spiked
"After the terror, the platitudes. 
And the hashtags. 
And the candlelit vigils. 
And they always have the same message: ‘Be unified. Feel love. Don’t give in to hate.’ 
The banalities roll off the national tongue. 
Vapidity abounds. 
A shallow fetishisation of ‘togetherness’ takes the place of any articulation of what we should be together for – and against. 
And so it has been after the barbarism in Manchester. 
In response to the deaths of more than 20 people at an Ariana Grande gig, in response to the massacre of children enjoying pop music, people effectively say: ‘All you need is love.’ 
The disparity between these horrors and our response to them, between what happened and what we say, is vast. 
This has to change..."

Chicago Mayor Emanuel Touts Social Services for Illegal Aliens

Chicago Mayor Emanuel Touts Social Services for Illegal Aliens:

"Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration in Chicago launched a pro-immigration, pro-foreign refugee campaign designed to help get newcomers to the U.S. on public services.
The ‘One Chicago’ campaign is designed to “facilitate access” of public services to foreign refugees, legal and illegal immigrants."

News - Claims of Climate-Caused Human Health Problems Questioned | Heartland Institute

News - Claims of Climate-Caused Human Health Problems Questioned | Heartland Institute
"Junk science" is behind many of the claims linking current levels of air pollution and climate change to human health problems.
...In his presentation, titled “EPA’s Human Experiments With Particulate Matter: Proof of Government Science Corruption,” Steve Milloy, publisher of JunkScience.com, strongly criticized the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for carrying out experiments on human subjects, exposing them to a substance EPA says can kill “within hours.”
For more than two decades, EPA has pushed for strict regulation of PM 2.5 particulate matter, or soot, Milloy said.
EPA has gone to great lengths to emphasize particulate matter poses a threat to human health, even though it has failed to document any cases of people being harmed by PM 2.5.
Milloy noted EPA has written there is “no safe level of exposure to PM 2.5” and people exposed to it can “die within hours,” with those at greatest risk being people over the age of 70 and children.
If this is true, Milloy asked, why does EPA expose human test subjects to PM 2.5 levels far higher than they will ever experience in the environment? 
EPA assures volunteers participating in the experiments they have nothing to fear, yet it tells the public PM 2.5 is highly dangerous, Milloy said..."

UK Now Has Its First Ever 'Gender-Fluid' Cop | Heat Street:
"A transgender police officer in London has become the UK’s first gender-fluid cop and is allowed to use separate male and female identities while at work.
The officer has two warrant cards – one in their male name, Callum, and the other in their female name, Abi.
It’s been allowed as part of a Metropolitan Police diversity scheme encouraging officers to “be themselves” at work.
The situation was announced in an internal message to the force’s 43,607 police and civilian staff last week, titled “Bring Your Whole Self to Work”..."

Australia Says The 'Game's Up' For 'Fake Refugees' | The Daily Caller:

"Australia has given illegal immigrants until Oct. 1 to prove they are legitimate refugees or face deportation from the country.

Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton announced a crackdown Sunday on “fake refugees” who arrived illegally by boat. Dutton said 7,500 out of the 50,000 people who have arrived by boat in recent years refused to provide any documents of their identity."

Trump Is In A Brawl. But If He Rallies His Base, It Will Have His Back | VDARE - premier news outlet for patriotic immigration reform
"...What Trump has actually done, or what these investigation into “WhateverGate” is supposed to discover, is completely unknown. 
The premise that the American intelligence community has proof of Trump’s collusion with Russia but sat on it during the entire campaign, 
Obama’s last months in office, and during the first months of a supposed foreign agent’s rise to power, is absurd on its face. 
Comey stated under oath he had not been pressured to end any investigation by President Trump, only to now change his mind now that he’s been fired. 
But the bottom line: it doesn’t matter what Trump did or didn’t do. 
Impeachment, at its core, is not a legal proceeding, but a political one. 
It is our System’s equivalent to a Vote of No Confidence in Parliament. 
If the Democrats take power, they will impeach Trump simply because our current Commander-in-Chief poses an existential threat to the System simply by existing..."

House IT Workers Fear Members Are Being Blackmailed | The Daily Caller

House IT Workers Fear Members Are Being Blackmailed | The Daily Caller
"Congressional technology aides are baffled that data-theft allegations against four former House IT workers — who were banned from the congressional network — have largely been ignored, and they fear the integrity of sensitive high-level information.
Imran Awan and three relatives were colleagues until police banned them from computer networks at the House of Representatives after suspicion the brothers accessed congressional computers without permission.
Five Capitol Hill technology aides told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group that members of Congress have displayed an inexplicable and intense loyalty towards the suspects who police say victimized them.
The baffled aides wonder if the suspects are blackmailing representatives based on the contents of their emails and files, to which they had full access.
“I don’t know what they have, but they have something on someone.
It’s been months at this point” with no arrests, said Pat Sowers, who has managed IT for several House offices for 12 years.
“Something is rotten in Denmark.”...

Evidence? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Evidence, Imply Tourism Officials [Michigan Capitol Confidential]

Evidence? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Evidence, Imply Tourism Officials [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"National Travel and Tourism Week starts May 7.
It’s an ideal time to remind taxpayers, voters and lawmakers that the state of Michigan spends $34 million each year on a program to promote tourism. 
Unfortunately, the program, called Pure Michigan, is demonstrably ineffective and wasteful. 
Both the state government and the private trade association for the tourism industry make poorly supported claims on its behalf.
A recent statement by tourism lobbyist Deanna Richeson about the Mackinac Center’s research is particularly shameful.
Deanna Richeson of the Michigan Lodging and Tourism Association emailed out a “Grassroots Alert!” last March asking recipients to “Tell Your Legislator to Protect Pure Michigan!”
It claimed that “Pure Michigan funding is at risk” and that risk was “[f]ueled by misinformation from a study by a far right think tank that has already been discredited.”
I am the co-author of a recent study on state tourism promotion — the only recent, critical analysis of such I’m aware of in the country — so I was curious about Richeson’s claim that our work had been discredited.
Starting on April 18, I used email, fax, the postal service and telephone to reach out to her to ask for supporting evidence of her assertion.
I have not received a response..."

"The Media has been circling Trump like wolves from Day One. Did CNN accidentally admit their REAL motive?

They pretend to be REPORTING the news. Like they don’t have a dog in this fight.

But we all remember the looks on their faces on election night. They looked like someone had taken their birthday away."
