Volokh demolishes Feinstein in campus free speech hearing
Volokh demolishes Feinstein in campus free speech hearing:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) questioned Tuesday whether universities across the country should risk hosting controversial speakers if they have the potential to spark violent protests.
...“The handling of it, means that you have resources to be able to send and those resources know what to do.
And particularly for the public university, and particularly for the University of California, there is a constant battle with the legislature over money.
So the resources are not always what they might be,” she added.
Eugene Volokh, a distinguished professor of law at UCLA...
“If we are in a position where our police departments are unable to protect free speech, whether it’s universities or otherwise, then yes, indeed, we are in a very bad position,” he added.
...Volokh, however, insisted that despite such rare exceptions, the government still maintains a presumptive responsibility to assist the university in protecting the First Amendment.
“It’s not just the university it’s the government.
It’s the job of the government.
I am not the big believer of large jobs for the government, but one important job of the government is to prevent violence and to prevent violence without suppressing free speech,” he contended..."
- Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) tangled with UCLA Law Professor Eugene Volokh yesterday over whether universities had a responsibility to handle security for controversial speakers.
- Feinstein repeatedly appeared to suggest that universities should always be able to cancel speakers if they expect an event to result in violence, while Volokh countered that local police forces should step in to ensure order.

Antifa thugs in their own words: They want to DESTROY you
Antifa thugs in their own words: They want to DESTROY you:
"If there remained any question about the character of the radical Left, recent reporting by Ian Miles Cheong at Heat Street paints a disturbing picture of the extent to which Antifa leftists condone violence against capitalists and so-called “fascists.”
Cheong draws attention to an Antifa website, “It’s Going Down,” the “de facto resource for anarchists and ‘anti-fascist’ activists currently engaging in sporadic street battles across the United States against Trump supporters and the government.”
The website features Antifa articles from staff writers and anonymous submissions that give the reader insight into the demented minds of those who urge violence against their countrymen.
The literature of the anarchist leftists is honest in its presentation of who they are and what they want.
This is the evil of Antifa.
Their end is the destruction of the civil society.
Their means are violence.
And the Democratic Party and the “mainstream” liberals and progressives who support it have been complicit in the escalation of this violent politics.
For the good of the American people and the safety and happiness of our communities, the Antifa Left must be condemned and its violence put to an end."

- ...“One describes liberal allies as ‘accomplices’ to capitalists. A piece titled Work, Community, Politics, War suggests that anarchists ‘are imposing our needs on society without debate’ and urge[s] militant tactics against employers and law enforcement.”
- “Anarchism means destroying the forces that seek to keep us on our knees,” reads a publication titled “What the fuck is anarchism?” Cheong highlights how this piece exemplifies “the victim complex most of the leftist ideology’s followers live with.” You should read how they describe themselves and the actions they condone.
- In a world full of alienation and apathy, anarchists are willing to act in accordance with their ideas. Anarchists are those who would set fire to a bulldozer or a new luxury home rather than let a forest be cut down, who would rather hear the sound of shattering glass than a politician’s speech.
- Deserting and disobeying all the rules written against us, by squatting and stealing for our survival, and rejecting the roles we’re assigned, as good worker, good student, good citizen, good woman or man.
- Rewriting the usual endings; by supporting prisoners rather than letting them disappear in isolation, by beating up rapists and homophobes rather than suffering their violence, by creating forms of love that only strengthen us rather than containing and limiting us.
- Taking control over our surroundings by painting graffiti on the walls or occupying space and planting gardens.
- By arming ourselves with the ability to create a new world and destroy the one that has been imposed on us.
This is the evil of Antifa.
Their end is the destruction of the civil society.
Their means are violence.
And the Democratic Party and the “mainstream” liberals and progressives who support it have been complicit in the escalation of this violent politics.

EXCLUSIVE: Inside Venezuela: Starved Families Scavenge for Food in Garbage-Covered Streets - Breitbart:
If you wonder how low people will get before revolution, this is an indication.
No international frowny faces.
No revolution.
USA has a long way to go down, if it chooses.
Even harder to avoid, however, is the garbage.
From schoolchildren to the elderly, even to those in work uniform, many Venezuelans are resorting to scavaging just to survive.

USA has a long way to go down, if it chooses.
CARACAS, Venezuela – Driving through the streets of Caracas, it is impossible not to notice the ubiquitous government propaganda on the sides of buildings and scores of armed police.
Even harder to avoid, however, is the garbage.
On almost every street corner, stacks of waste can be seen piled up, some of it in black bags, but other items in limbo such as water bottles, diapers and occasionally food waste.
Around almost every pile of garbage, a crowd had formed, rifling through it for scraps to eat. From schoolchildren to the elderly, even to those in work uniform, many Venezuelans are resorting to scavaging just to survive.
A recent report found that over 15 percent of people scavenge as a means of survival.
Those who eat what they find have developed the skill of finding edible bits of food where they can.
In an interview with Colombia’s El Tiempo, for example, one woman noted that some neighborhoods are known for having the “good” garbage – the kind with food in it that can be recooked and consumed, as opposed to non-food waste..."
Antifa Website Encourages 'All Manner of Physical Violence' Against Trump Supporters and Capitalists | Heat Street
Antifa Website Encourages 'All Manner of Physical Violence' Against Trump Supporters and Capitalists | Heat Street:
"The Antifa website It’s Going Down has become the de facto resource for anarchists and “anti-fascist” activists currently engaging in sporadic street battles across the United States against Trump supporters and the government. The site calls for violence against capitalists and anyone it labels a “fascist.”
It features posters for self-identified anarchists that call for Trump supporters to be stabbed. A poster published in April shows the silhouette of a man with a Make America Great Again hat and a Pepe the Frog lapel pin being cornered by a bayonet. Behind him is the transparent silhouette of a Nazi."

Canada Criminalizes Use Of Wrong Gender Pronouns | The Daily Caller
Canada Criminalizes Use Of Wrong Gender Pronouns | The Daily Caller"Canada passed a law Thursday making it illegal to use the wrong gender pronouns.
Critics say that Canadians who do not subscribe to progressive gender theory could be accused of hate crimes, jailed, fined, and made to take anti-bias training.
Canada’s Senate passed Bill C-16, which puts “gender identity” and “gender expression” into both the country’s Human Rights Code, as well as the hate crime category of its Criminal Code by a vote of 67-11, according to LifeSiteNews.
...“The very idea that calling someone a term that they didn’t choose causes them such irreparable harm that legal remedies should be sought [is] an indication of just how deeply the culture of victimization has sunk into our society.”...

Detroit City Council votes 7-2 in favor of $34.5 million in bonds for Pistons move | Crain's Detroit Business:
"The Detroit City Council voted 7-2 Tuesday in favor of $34.5 million in bonds to modify the new Little Caesars Arena to accommodate the Detroit Pistons' move back downtown after a 40-year suburban hiatus.
Detroit's Downtown Development Authority needed City Council's approving of increasing a $250 million tax-increment financing deal the city forged with the owners of the Detroit Red Wings in 2013 to help finance construction of the new arena along Woodward Avenue.
...Castaneda-Lopez cited concerns about how the bonds would be used to make modifications to accommodate the Pistons playing at Little Caesars Arena this fall.
She cited one such modification: $220,000 for "beer cooler relocation."
...The DDA will capture 18-mill nonhomestead operating millage for Detroit Public Schools from downtown businesses to use to pay for the new bonds for Little Caesars Arena..."

Hollywood YUUUGE Loser in Georgia Sixth | Roger L. Simon:
"...Rosie O’Donnell [ je suis shockay], Jane Fonda, Jessica Lange, Sean Daniel, Connie Britton, Sam Waterston and Kyra Sedgwick are among those who have donated to Democrat Jon Ossoff’s campaign...
Will these moral narcissists talk with Ossoff again, now that he has lost by a solid margin, more than predicted, failing to do any better than Hillary against their Public Enemy #1 (Donald J. Trump) despite having by far the largest war chest in American congressional history, nine times bigger than his opponent's?
I would think not.
...they are living in a city with a mammoth homeless problem.
The L.A. Times is reporting that as of 2017 Los Angeles has a staggering 57,794 homeless, up from 44,359 in 2015.
...Everywhere you drive in this city you see tent encampments under the freeways, as if the City of the Angels had turned into Calcutta.
Surely these Hollywood grandees have seen it too, unless they never go out of the house.
If they seriously wanted to do something substantive with their largesse, other than political virtue signaling, they would contribute to dealing with this catastrophic, rapidly growing problem.
They should also examine what it is about Donald Trump that actually makes them so angry.
(Yes, I have seen that up close and personal too. I wrote about it extensively, naming names, in this book.)
If Hollywood and the media together lead the Democratic Party,..they ought to take a good look at themselves.
What they are perceived to be espousing is no more than pompous elitism, a sense of looking down on the folks who pay their immense bills (media too, in many instances)..."

- The tweets?
- That he opposes radical Islamic terrorism?
- That he is colluding with Russia? (The idea of that being of concern to Fonda, who actually did collude with North Vietnam in the most obvious way, is hilarious.)
- What specifically?
- Not gay marriage.
- He supported that long before Obama or Hillary came around.
- In actuality, I submit that what angers them most is that Trump is not interested in them.
- He is interested in the actual working class, which they disdain.

The Utterly Complete and Total Fraud of Wind Power
The Utterly Complete and Total Fraud of Wind Power:
"From the International Energy Agency’s 2016 Key Renewables Trends, we can see that wind provided 0.46 per cent of global energy consumption in 2014, and solar and tide combined provided 0.35 per cent. Remember this is total energy, not just electricity, which is less than a fifth of all final energy, the rest being the solid, gaseous, and liquid fuels that do the heavy lifting for heat, transport and industry."

Nearly $50 million in the California state budget will go to expanded legal services for immigrants - LA Times:
"California state lawmakers approved $45 million in a state budget plan to expand legal services for immigrants, a response to the Trump administration's call to increase deportations.
The funds, greater than what Gov. Jerry Brown earmarked in May and which will be an ongoing allocation through 2020, will go to a coalition of legal services agencies, immigrant rights groups and faith-based organizations called One California.
...With the additional money, providers will now also be able to help immigrants fighting deportation or removal proceedings.
Here's how $183 billion in taxpayer dollars will be spent in California's new budget..."
