This is why Hillary needed a pardon before Obama left office | New York Post

This is why Hillary needed a pardon before Obama left office | New York Post: 
"Late last week, a top FBI lawyer named James Baker was reassigned. 
The Washington Post said it was part of FBI Director Christopher Wray’s effort to assemble his own team of senior advisers.
But there’s probably more to it. 
The FBI has been accused — correctly, I believe — of partisanship, especially when it came to handling the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails.
As I explained in an October 2016 column, Baker was one of three people who “unanimously” decided not to prosecute Clinton. 
Then-FBI head James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe were the other two at the meeting when the decision was made.
Baker was reassigned shortly after McCabe testified in private before the House Intelligence Committee, which is looking into Clinton’s mishandling of her emails. 
There have also been reports that Baker is being looked at as the source of leaks to the press.
...I’ll say it again: Hillary Clinton should have secured a pardon before President Barack Obama left the White House. 
And, in fact, I’m told by a good source that someone did gently broach that subject on her behalf."

America’s Gift to the World - WSJ

America’s Gift to the World - WSJ:
"...Also speaking up this week is Purdue University President Mitch Daniels. 

And he’s found a way for rich people—and in fact rich countries—to help feed a hungry world. 
Writing in the Washington Post, Mr. Daniels helpfully points out that all we have to do is not discourage people from using the scientific knowledge that can save millions of lives.

According to Mr. Daniels:

Of the several claims of “anti-science” that clutter our national debates these days, none can be more flagrantly clear than the campaign against modern agricultural technology, most specifically the use of molecular techniques to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Here, there are no credibly conflicting studies, no arguments about the validity of computer models, no disruption of an ecosystem nor any adverse human health or even digestive problems, after 5 billion acres have been cultivated cumulatively and trillions of meals consumed.

And yet a concerted, deep-pockets campaign, as relentless as it is baseless, has persuaded a high percentage of Americans and Europeans to avoid GMO products, and to pay premium prices for “non-GMO” or “organic” foods that may in some cases be less safe and less nutritious..."

Investigating the Investigators at DOJ and FBI | Sharyl Attkisson:

"Less attention has been given to concurrent investigations that seem to be claiming scalps even if indirectly.

The investigations into the investigators include Congressional inquiries and a multi-faceted probe launched by Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz surrounding the FBI decision not to prosecute Clinton. Specifically, Horowitz—who was appointed by President Obama—said he’s reviewing:"

Study: 27 Percent of California Youth Are Gender 'Nonconforming’ - Breitbart
"A new study released at UCLA finds 27 percent of California’s young people between the ages of 12 and 17 self-report that others view them as gender ‘nonconforming” at school.

...First, the young people were asked, “Are you male or female?” and, subsequent to that question, they were asked:

A person’s appearance, style, dress, or the way they walk or talk may affect how people describe them. How do you think other people at school would describe you?

• Very feminine
• Mostly feminine
• Equally feminine & masculine
• Mostly masculine

"John Robert Fox (1915-1944), posthumously received the Medal of Honor in 1997, for willingly sacrificing his life.
Citation:
For extraordinary heroism against an armed enemy in the vicinity of Sommocolonia, Italy, on December 26, 1944, while serving as a member of Cannon Company, 366th Infantry Regiment, 92nd Infantry Division.
During the preceding few weeks, Lieutenant Fox served with the 598th Field Artillery Battalion as a forward observer.
On Christmas night, enemy soldiers gradually infiltrated the town of Sommocolonia in civilian clothes, and by early morning the town was largely in hostile hands.
Commencing with a heavy barrage of enemy artillery at 0400 hours on December 26, 1944, an organized attack by uniformed German units began.
Being greatly outnumbered, most of the United States Infantry forces were forced to withdraw from the town, but Lieutenant Fox and some other members of his observer party voluntarily remained on the second floor of a house to direct defensive artillery fire.
At 0800 hours, Lieutenant Fox reported that the Germans were in the streets and attacking in strength.
He then called for defensive artillery fire to slow the enemy advance.
As the Germans continued to press the attack towards the area that Lieutenant Fox occupied, he adjusted the artillery fire closer to his position.
Finally he was warned that the next adjustment would bring the deadly artillery right on top of his position. 
After acknowledging the danger, Lieutenant Fox insisted that the last adjustment be fired as this was the only way to defeat the attacking soldiers. 
Later, when a counterattack retook the position from the Germans, Lieutenant Fox's body was found with the bodies of approximately 100 German soldiers. 
Lieutenant Fox's gallant and courageous actions, at the supreme sacrifice of his own life, contributed greatly to delaying the enemy advance until other infantry and artillery units could reorganize to repel the attack.
His extraordinary valorous actions were in keeping with the most cherished traditions of military service, and reflect the utmost credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army."

"Having said that, we thought it would be a fun time to revisit the time that Tucker Carlson cornered a clueless liberal professor when it came to taxes. This professor is a self-proclaimed Socialist who says that the top 1% of Americans should pay between 70-90% of their income to the government."

13 scientific studies suggest ‘Little Ice Age’ looming

13 scientific studies suggest ‘Little Ice Age’ looming:
"Global-warming diehards who converted their cause to “climate change” when the warming ceased a few years back are being dealt another blow as scientific forecasts of global cooling are about to take over.
“During 2017, 120 papers linking historical and modern climate change to variations in solar activity and its modulators (clouds, cosmic rays) have been published in scientific journals,” reported Kenneth Richard at NoTricksZone.
Richard compiled a list of multiple studies from the past few years drawing the same conclusion: It’s the sun’s activities that have a huge influence on whether earth’s temperatures vary. 
Thirteen forecast global cooling.
The global-warming alarmists contend mankind’s use of fossil fuels is irreparably heating up the earth’s average temperatures.
Global warming has become an industry, with the buying and selling of “carbon credits” that grant permission to use carbon fuel, massive tax plans to pay for alternative energy programs and more..."
