Migrant Caravan Exposes the Democrats | National Review
Migrant Caravan Exposes the Democrats | National Review:
The Democrats’ ability to kid themselves about their commitment to border enforcement is one of the reasons America’s debate about immigration is so deranged. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer want to avoid the subject of the caravan for a very good reason. Because now it has become obvious. In order to pass legislation, they ask Republicans and restrictionists to believe their commitments to enforcement. Out of the other side of their mouth, to avoid primary challenges and hassle, they ask activists not to.

"There it is, in plain language, in Article IV of the United States Constitution:
“The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion…”
Our federal government has not just a moral but also a legal obligation to protect the states — and, by extension, the American people — from foreign incursions.
Yet today, among our progressive brethren, we are told instead that the government has an obligation to protect the impoverished of the world from the “heartlessness” of Republicans.
Enter the caravan.
...President Trump says that won’t happen.
I say thank God for President Trump.
For me, this caravan is an existential threat to the sovereignty of the United States.
It is different in kind from the terror attacks of 9/11, but like them, it is an attack on our country and our principles.
And as with all such attacks, it is crucial how we respond..."

TEACHING PC VIEWPOINTS AT GUNPOINT.
Instapundit Blog Archive TEACHING PC VIEWPOINTS AT GUNPOINT. "TEACHING PC VIEWPOINTS AT GUNPOINT.
“These courses aren’t mandated by Title IX, no matter what college administrators claim, either because of their ignorance of the law or their presumption that their students are ignorant and will accept their claims. . . .
These are not courses about the law; there is no viable law as to what ‘consent’ means.
- Some teach students, male students,that when alcohol had touched a woman’s lips, she cannot give consent.
- Some teach that a woman can withdraw consent at any time, including the next day or a year later.
- Some teach that a woman who enthusiastically consents in the moment may be doing so because she feels coerced, or has no choice, or harbors some feelings of ambiguity in the back of her head, thus making her enthusiastic consent a mask for her lack of consent.
None of these things are real.
None make any sense.
And yet, these are believed by many and taught by some.”---Posted by Glenn Reynolds
Planned Parenthood Says It Puts Women First. This Missouri Clinic Proves Otherwise. | The Heritage Foundation
Planned Parenthood Says It Puts Women First. This Missouri Clinic Proves Otherwise. | The Heritage Foundation:
The state informed Planned Parenthood of these health violations and expected the organization to correct them immediately.
Not only did the clinic fail to do so, it continued operating for over a month without correcting the violations.
When the state visited the clinic again on Sept. 26, 2018, they discovered additional violations. They found “bloody single-use plastic tubing attached to the machine’s glass suction canister that was never disposed of after the last abortion procedure on Sept. 21,” along with machines covered in mold and bodily fluid. The department also found rusty machines and exam room tables with chipped paint, making them impossible to sanitize.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time state officials have discovered intolerable conditions inside an abortion facility.

In a Crash, Should Self-Driving Cars Save Passengers or Pedestrians? 2 Million People Weigh In - Slashdot
"In what is referred to as the "Moral Machine Experiment", a survey of more than two million people from nearly every country on the planet, people preferred to save humans over animals, young over old, and more people over fewer.
From a report:Since 2016, scientists have posed this scenario to folks around the world through the "Moral Machine," an online platform hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that gauges how humans respond to ethical decisions made by artificial intelligence.
...The Moral Machine uses a quiz to give participants randomly generated sets of 13 questions. Each scenario has two choices: You save the car's passengers or you save the pedestrians. However, the characteristics of the passengers and pedestrians varied randomly -- including by gender, age, social status and physical fitness. What they found: The researchers identified three relatively universal preferences..."Read on!
