Shapiro At 'National Review': Trump's Superpower | Daily Wire:
"In the last week alone, Democrats have embraced the terrorist group Hamas and the vicious criminal gang MS-13. There’s a meme making the rounds on social media that conservatives will do [FILL IN THE BLANK] to “own the libs”: sign off on corruption, engage in the most vile insults, etc. But the Democrats will similarly do anything to “own Trump.”"

Spygate! Trump Brands the Criminal Deep State Scandal of a Lifetime - The Rush Limbaugh Show:
"President Trump’s Spygate could be one of the biggest political scandals in history. And, with that, Trump has given the scandal a name: Spygate. And then listen to this next tweet. This could be the poster and the slug line for the movie: “They go after Phony Collusion with Russia, a made up Scam, and end up getting caught in a major SPY scandal the likes of which this country may never have seen before!”"

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON-----Trump Rationale: Why Voters Chose Him and Support Him Now | National Review
Trump Rationale: Why Voters Chose Him and Support Him Now | National Review
Why exactly did nearly half the country vote for Donald Trump?
Why also did the arguments of Never Trump Republicans and conservatives have marginal effect on voters?
...Here are some of reasons voters knew what they were getting with Trump and yet nevertheless assumed he was preferable to a Clinton presidency...
...3) ...A presidential vote is not a one-person race for sainthood but, like it or not, often a choice between a bad and worse option. Hillary Clinton would have likely ensured a 16-year progressive regnum...
4) Something had gone haywire with the Republican party at the national level. Since 1988, it had failed to achieve 51 percent of the popular presidential vote, losing the popular vote in five out of the past six elections, writing off as permanently lost the purple states of the Midwest...
5) Lots of deep-state rust needed scraping.
Yet it is hard to believe that either a Republican or Democratic traditionalist would have seen unemployment go below 4 percent, or the GDP rate exceed 3 percent, or would have ensured the current level of deregulation and energy production.
...I cannot think of a single Republican 2016 candidate who either could or would have in succession withdrawn from the Paris Climate Accord, moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, demanded China recalibrate its asymmetrical and often unfair mercantile trade policies, sought to secure the border, renounced the Iran deal, moved to denuclearize North Korea, and hectored front-line NATO allies that their budgets do not reflect their promises or the dangers on their borders..."

Baby Bust: 5 Charts Show How Expensive it is to Have Kids in the US Today | Intellectual Takeout
Baby Bust: 5 Charts Show How Expensive it is to Have Kids in the US Today | Intellectual Takeout: "Today, roughly one in five women in the U.S. doesn’t have children.
Thanks in part to this decline in birthrate, for the first time in U.S. history, there may soon be more elderly people than children.
Based on trends in costs, it’s evident why many families are choosing to have fewer children – or in some cases, no children at all.
The cost of having children in the U.S. has grown exponentially since the 1960s, when the government first started collecting data on childhood expenditures.
Between 2000 and 2010, the cost shot up by 40 percent.
As of 2015, American parents spend, on average, US $233,610 on child costs from birth until the age of 17, not including college.
...This spike costs has broad implications, affecting everything from demographic trends and human capital to family consumption...

Some are considering taking on millions of dollars of new debt or eyeing their endowments to buy their way out of the liability.
As things stand, agency officials say they cannot project costs from year to year because of:

- Rising liabilities due to pensioners living longer
- Increases in premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., a federal agency charged with providing pension benefits in private-sector-defined benefit plans that end without sufficient money to pay all benefits..."

Trump: Pelosi, Democrats Support MS-13 | The Daily Caller
"President Trump ripped into House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on her recent defense of the ultra-violent gang, MS-13, at the Susan B. Anthony List gala Tuesday."
How they "think"-----Why Are White Men Stockpiling Guns? - Scientific American Blog Network
Why Are White Men Stockpiling Guns? - Scientific American Blog Network"Research suggests it's largely because they're anxious about their ability to protect their families, insecure about their place in the job market and beset by racial fears.
...Rather, more guns are being stockpiled by a small number of individuals.
Three percent of the population now owns half of the country’s firearms, says a recent, definitive study from the Injury Control Research Center at Harvard University.
So, who is buying all these guns—and why?
...The American citizen most likely to own a gun is a white male—but not just any white guy. According to a growing number of scientific studies, the kind of man who stockpiles weapons or applies for a concealed-carry license meets a very specific profile.
- These are men who are anxious about their ability to protect their families,
- insecure about their place in the job market, and
- beset by racial fears.
- They tend to be less educated.
- For the most part, they don’t appear to be religious—and, suggests one study, faith seems to reduce their attachment to guns.
- In fact, stockpiling guns seems to be a symptom of a much deeper crisis in meaning and purpose in their lives.
- Taken together, these studies describe a population that is struggling to find a new story—one in which they are once again the heroes..."

Decoration Day
By Tammy Derouin
As we approach Memorial Day, I
wanted to revisit the history of the holiday. What began as a look
back, quickly turned into hours of reading. I began to get
sidetracked as one date and event led to another.
History provides answers and reminds us of the reasons we are
free. Had it not been for those who came before us, and those who
sacrificed their lives, we would not have the freedom we have today.
Memorial Day was originally known
as Decoration Day. It began in the years following the end of Civil
War. The Civil War began when the Confederates attacked Fort Sumter,
South Carolina on April 12, 1861. It ended when Robert E. Lee
surrendered the Confederate army to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox
Courthouse on April 9, 1865.
A great divide was taking place
in the years leading up to the War Between the States. Several issues
such as the moral conflict over slavery, the argument of states'
rights and the authority of the federal government over the states,
as well as the feeling that the South's 'way of life' was being
infringed upon, were all coming to a head. Families and friends
became enemies as tensions mounted. The great divide would cause
brother to stand against brother, neighbor against neighbor and
countrymen against countrymen.......

Global Warming: New Study Says Models Exaggerate Warming By Up To 45%
Global Warming: New Study Says Models Exaggerate Warming By Up To 45%
"Settled Science: A new study published in a peer-reviewed journal finds that climate models exaggerate the global warming from CO2 emissions by as much as 45%.
If these findings hold true, it's huge news.
No wonder the mainstream press is ignoring it.
In the study, authors Nic Lewis and Judith Curry looked at actual temperature records and compared them with climate change computer models.
What they found is that the planet has shown itself to be far less sensitive to increases in CO2 than the climate models say.
As a result, they say, the planet will warm less than the models predict, even if we continue pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.
As Lewis explains: "Our results imply that, for any future emissions scenario, future warming is likely to be substantially lower than the central computer model-simulated level projected by the (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), and highly unlikely to exceed that level..."
