And You Paid for It! US Postal Workers Found Guilty of Campaigning for Hillary Clinton During Work Hours

And You Paid for It! US Postal Workers Found Guilty of Campaigning for Hillary Clinton During Work Hours:


"On Wednesday the Office of Special Council ruled the US Postal Service broke the law when they allowed workers to campaign for Hillary Clinton during work hours on the taxpayer dime.
The OSC found the U.S. Postal Service broke the law last year by letting employees do union-funded work for Hillary Clinton’s campaign and other Democratic candidates."

Berkeley health plan adds 'fertility preservation,' laser hair removal for transgender students - The College Fix

Berkeley health plan adds 'fertility preservation,' laser hair removal for transgender students - The College Fix:
"UC Berkeley’s SHIP, the Student Health Insurance Plan, will add two new benefits for transgender students beginning next month: fertility preservation and laser hair removal.

According to SHIP Manager Bahar Navab, the former is necessary as hormones used to treat gender dysmorphia — “the common diagnosis of individuals whose gender assigned at birth does not match their gender identity” — can lead to fertility issues.

The latter “provides a less painful, less frequent method of hair removal,” she says, and is one of the “critically important and often under-supported treatments for transfeminine people.”
According to The Daily Californian, last year SHIP expanded its transgender benefits to include “male-to-female top surgery.”..."

"DDT, Global Cooling, China Syndrome, Ozone Hole, Global Warming, Climate Change – the left moves seamlessly from one world ending snake oil scam to another. 
In 1992 they blamed the ozone hole on President Bush, and said it was going to kill us all.

NASA predicted an ozone hole over North America that winter, and said “it is far worse than we thought.”

There never was a Northern Hemisphere Ozone Hole, and the one over Antarctica has not changed in size since the CFC ban was implemented.

Blame Democrats who created Obamacare and are dishonest about it - Washington Times

Blame Democrats who created Obamacare and are dishonest about it - Washington Times:

"Behold, this is your health care, run by the federal government.
Politicians far, far away in Washington — advised by armies of bureaucrats whose salaries you pay but you have never met — all huddled in Congress deciding what pills they will give you and how long is long enough for you to be on life support.
Also, they will decide just how much money you will pay for pregnancy insurance, even though you do not technically have a uterus and your name is not Caitlyn Jenner. (Isn’t it funny how the only way anybody buys something named the “Affordable Care Act” is if the federal government forces them to buy it?)"

Poll: 57 percent say media coverage of Trump 'too negative'

Poll: 57 percent say media coverage of Trump 'too negative':
"A majority of Americans feel mainstream media coverage of President Trump is "too negative" according to a poll released Wednesday.
A Zogby Analytics poll showed that 57 percent of likely voters found the coverage of the president to be too negative, while 44 percent disagreed.
The poll is predictably split along party lines, with 87 percent of Republican voters saying the coverage is too negative and just 32 percent of Democrats agreeing.
Among independent voters, 54 percent believe coverage of Trump is too negative.
Fifty-five percent women and 51 percent of African-Americans, two groups that don't normally give high marks to Trump, also told pollsters that coverage is too negative.
Trump has often referred to the media as dishonest, "fake news" and the opposition party as Republicans continue to show less trust in the Fourth Estate.
The Zogby poll comes on the heels of an NPR-PBS Newshour-Marist poll this month that found that 91 percent of Republicans and 93 percent of Trump supporters don't trust the media.
The Zogby nationwide survey of 856 likely voters had a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points."

INSANITY: Purdue Hands Out 'Privilege Scorecards' To Students | Daily Wire

INSANITY: Purdue Hands Out 'Privilege Scorecards' To Students | Daily Wire:
"Did you think Brooklyn’s “Check Your Privilege” cards were amazing?
Then you’ll love this: Mike Allison at Turning Point News is reporting that students in a Purdue University class were given “Privilege Scorecards,” which is somehow stupider than it sounds.
The questionnaire takes eleven totally arbitrary categories and awards points based on your answers. Because that is how equality works. 
There is much of the usual nonsense present: White and Asian people earn 25 and 10 points, respectively, while Latino and Black people are deducted points; Women lose 50 points, but gain back 20 points if they are cisgender women.
...For some reason, Jews (against whom the majority of religiously-motivated hate crimes are committed) are awarded 25 points, while Christians are awarded 5 and Muslims lose 50. Jewish exclusion is not a surprise, since this comes from the same branch of leftism as the Chicago Dyke March (of “Zio” fame).
....Purdue, by the way, is a publicly-funded university."

The questions that won’t be asked about Minneapolis police shooting of Australian woman « Refugee Resettlement Watch

The questions that won’t be asked about Minneapolis police shooting of Australian woman « Refugee Resettlement Watch:
"Mainstream media is already trying to direct your attention to an excuse for the shocking shooting of an unarmed woman (in pajamas) by a Somali refugee police officer—a “diversity” hire.  Now we hear that there were firecracker sounds nearby. If it was that simple why then has the shooter, Mohamed Noor, reportedly refused to talk to police investigators.

Leo Hohmann at WND has an update.

Former Congresswoman and presidential candidate, Michele Bachmann wonders if there will be questions about a possible crime of bias. Not likely!

Hohmann:

Given the political makeup of the city’s leadership and its desire to hire more black officers, especially those with roots in the Somali community, it is highly unlikely that investigators will seek to find out if Noor was motivated by his own religious bias in the killing of Justine Damond, said former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.

Michele Bachmann raises an issue that you know is on many minds.

The question that needs to be answered is, was this shooting a mistake or was it a “cultural seizure” by a Muslim officer who snapped and acted irrationally at the sight of a woman in her pajamas?

“The shooting makes no sense, and Noor comes from the mandated cover-up women culture,” Bachmann told WND. “That’s why I’m wondering if they’ll ask whether his cultural views led him to shoot her. That’s something, if true, I can’t imagine the progressives would allow to get out.

“Minneapolis race-baiters traffic in imagined bias,” Bachmann added. “This may have been real bias. But will we ever know?”

If the mainstream media won’t go there (and we highly doubt any investigators in the police department will) , and ask the questions you know would be asked if the situation were different, we will join Bachmann (as Hohmann reported):

….because of Minnesota’s political culture, most notably its iron-clad commitment to political correctness, the strange shooting of Justine Damond may never get an honest investigation, says Ann Corcoran, who has followed the refugee influx into more than 300 U.S. cities and towns over the past decade..."

'Trigger warnings' and the shallow insularity of campus politics - The College Fix

'Trigger warnings' and the shallow insularity of campus politics - The College Fix:
"Trigger warnings are not about ‘triggers;’ they are about the closing of the college mind
We know and have known for some time that a sizable percentage of college students are, in one form or another, hostile towards freedom of speech and freedom of expression...
What may be more baffling is the weird and mildly pathetic student demand that colleges and professors place “trigger warnings” on course literature...
...But the trigger warning debate isn’t really about the actual phenomenon of triggering experiences; it is, rather, about ideology masquerading as empathy.
Many college students today are notably aggressive and combative...
Antagonistic belligerence on the one hand and...intellectual cowardice on the other: this is the progressive campus playbook in a nutshell.
...Properly understood, “trigger warnings” are not about either triggers or warnings; they are about the labeling and signaling out of material that might offend the delicate sensibilities of the average campus social justice warrior, all as part of a campaign to point campus culture away from free and open inquiry and toward the closed and shallow mind of hyper-intolerant activism..."

USPS financially imploding as new political scandal emerges | Fox Business

USPS financially imploding as new political scandal emerges | Fox Business:
"The United States Postal Service is under fire Wednesday for allegedly violating the law by allowing its employees to do union-funded activities for Hillary Clinton’s campaign, according to an Office of Special Counsel report obtained by Fox News Opens a New Window.
The OSC claims the USPS workers’ activities violate the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal workers from engaging in certain politically-oriented undertakings.
As the U.S. Postal Service seeks to mediate these new damaging allegations, it is still backlogged with a slew of other financial problems.
Here’s a look at its top challenges.

• Red ink-Expenses at the United States Postal Service have outpaced revenue for the past 10 years. In fiscal year 2016, the federal agency recorded a net financial loss of $5.6 billion and in the year prior, that amount clocked in at $5.1 billion....
• Unfunded liabilities-In addition to mounting financial losses, the Postal Service has more than $120 billion in unfunded liabilities, mainly for retiree health and pension benefits, according to the GAO report..."

Social Security And Medicare Are In Worse Shape Than You Think | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Pensions: Even in normal years, the annual Social Security and Medicare trustees' reports typically get overlooked.
This year is far from normal.
But the reports should be top of mind for anyone who cares about retirement security.
The Social Security report finds that the "trust fund" will run out of money in just 17 years.
The news only gets worse from there.
...And on a cash flow basis, Social Security is now losing money every year.
Last year it was $54 billion in the red.
In a decade the annual shortfall will reach $215 billion — after adjusting for inflation.
It's only by spending "interest" earned in the program's "trust fund" that Social Security can cover its current obligations.
But remember, the trust fund is comprised entirely of Treasury debt.
The federal government still has to borrow or raise taxes when the trust fund cashes in those bonds.
...Medicare's future is equally grim..."

Security Blanket

By Tammy Derouin

Today's main stream media is a joke. They have abandoned their post as the seekers of truth. They once exposed corruption and delivered an unbiased account of what was happening in the world around us. What was once a race to uncover the story has become a race to rewrite reality. The media has willingly shackled itself to an all-powerful, controlling master. They have become paid stooges, promoting Left-Wing propaganda while protecting Left-Wing corruption.

The MSM has abused and destroyed the public trust. When they abandoned the American people, opting instead to pledge their loyalty to Left-Wing radicals or radicals in general, they began to descend into darkness. Once trust is lost, it is very difficult to get it back.

Sometimes it's difficult to admit that you have been deceived. After all, you put your trust into these organizations. For most of us, this has been a long term relationship. We didn't just start paying attention yesterday. Most of us have been watching and reading for years. Little by little things began to change. We have witnessed the betrayal right before our eyes. But even with so much evidence in plain sight, not everyone is ready to accept the truth. So begins the stages that you must work through to regain true reality.

Denial wraps you in an imaginary security blanket......
