The sheer insanity of the 'transgender' fad | The Bridgehead

The sheer insanity of the 'transgender' fad | The Bridgehead
"Feminism rebelled against reality.
Transgenderism seeks to abolish it entirely.

But the feminists and the gender ideologues are beginning to realize that their worldviews don’t line up very nicely.

It seems as if our culture doesn’t quite understand just how radical the transgender fad actually is—or how genuinely insulting it is to women.
When debates fired up across social media over whether or not a certain man who began identifying as a woman could be called a woman about a year ago, I remember one comment in particular.
An angry woman demanded to know if a man in a dress – or even a man with a sex change – could understand menstrual cramps, pregnancy, or dozens of other things women experience.
The answer, of course, was no.
But the woman was pronounced a transphobe anyway, for not affirming that a cross-dresser was just like her..."

Black Lawmakers’ Charity Didn’t Give Out A Single Scholarship, Top Pols Hide Financials | The Daily Caller
"The caucus of black New York state lawmakers runs a charity whose stated mission is to empower “African American and Latino youth through education and leadership initiatives” by “providing opportunity to higher education” — but it hasn’t given a single scholarship to needy youth in two years, according to a New York Post investigation.
The group collects money from companies like AT&T, the Real Estate Board of New York, Time Warner Cable and CableVision, telling them in promotional materials that they are “changing lives, one scholarship at a time.”..."

Left uses banks, credit cards to enforce its agenda - WND:

Image result for flickr commons images Credit CardsTimes financial columnist and CNBC anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin is at it again in his crusade to have banks and credit card companies enforce his leftist agenda.
Following the Parkland, Florida high school shooting, Sorkin opined the financial industry – not cops, courts and legislatures – could “reduce gun violence.” This echoed leftist calls to boycott businesses associated with the NRA.
Unable to pass laws to their liking, liberals turn to corporations to impose their views on the rest of us.

The Ugly American-----AP Investigation: Food aid stolen as Yemen starves

AP Investigation: Food aid stolen as Yemen starves
"TAIZ, Yemen (AP) — ...Billions of dollars in food and other foreign aid was coming into his war-ravaged homeland, but millions of Yemenis were still living a step away from famine.
Reports of organizational disarray and out-and-out thievery streamed in to him this spring and summer from around Taiz — 5,000 sacks of rice doled out without record of where they’d gone . . . 705 food baskets looted from a welfare agency’s warehouses . . . 110 sacks of grain pillaged from trucks trying to make their way through the craggy northern highlands overlooking the city.
Food donations, it was clear, were being snatched from the starving.
...Across Yemen, factions and militias on all sides of the conflict have blocked food aid from going to groups suspected of disloyalty, diverted it to front-line combat units or sold it for profit on the black market..."

It’s Past Time for Trump to Take Control of US International Broadcasting

It’s Past Time for Trump to Take Control of US International Broadcasting
"Without fail, every time a Trump nominee gets closer to a Senate confirmation hearing to head the International Broadcasting Bureau, the media pounces and sounds the alarm.
See the source imageThe most recent case in point is a New York Times article dated Dec. 12 and headlined, “Troubled by Lapses, Government’s Voice to the World Braces for New Trump Management.” The article details abuses and incompetence at the Office of Cuba Broadcasting—a sister agency to Voice of America—as well as at the Mandarin and Nigerian services.
...The delay in getting President Donald Trump’s appointees into the leadership of U.S. broadcasting has allowed his critics to marshal their forces.
A bill sponsored by Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Bob Menendez, D-N.J., to strip Trump appointees of the power to hire or fire personnel was rushed through the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee in late November.
The measure would entirely undermine recent efforts at improving the troubled agency.
...In a tweet on Nov. 26, Trump mused that “While CNN doesn’t do great in the United States based on ratings, outside of the U.S. they have very little competition. Throughout the world, CNN has a powerful voice portraying the United States in an unfair and false way. Something has to be done, including the possibility of the United States starting our own Worldwide Network to show the World the way we really are, GREAT!”..."

Whether Trump was even aware of existing U.S. government broadcasting is unclear.



Losing no time to react, Bennett, director of Voice of America, rushed forward with a spirited defense of her network, writing in The Washington Post, “We think our credibility is rooted in the interpretation of the second half of Trump’s proposal. We, too, think our job is to show our country as it really is—through journalism based on fact.”



While Trump’s tweet appears to confirm fears that he would turn Voice of America and the other broadcasting agencies into propaganda arms, reality has been far different during his two years in office.



If anything, the White House has been MIA and has treated the U.S. government’s broadcasters with profound indifference. The White House has made minimal effort to put in place its own political appointees and to direct the much-needed reforms passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in December 2016. Even Hillary Clinton in congressional testimony described U.S. international broadcasting as “defunct.”

Trump Digs Up Old Obama Quote To Mercilessly Troll Democrats:

Image result for Thumbs Up Clip ArtIf there are three words I love that some Republicans don’t, it’s “owning the libs.” Yes, it can be somewhat juvenile at times, but there’s nothing quite as rewarding on occasion as a good lib own.
That doesn’t mean you have to lower your intellectual or moral standards, mind you. It just means that sometimes, ownership of the left side of the aisle can be both entertaining and rewarding.
And if there are three words I love that some (well, most) Obamas don’t, they were these: “I totally agree!”

"According to this university educator, "white supremacy is the accumulation of these aggressive messages that say 'stay off the grass,' 'mow your lawn,' 'act respectable,' 'pull your pants up,'"
See the source imageEarlier this month, a university educator told the Madison Board of Education why things like civility, time limits and mowing your lawn indicates you are racist.
The University of Wisconsin - Madison "educator" said that she teaches her students the alleged "connection" between white liberalism and white supremacy.
In doing so, she sought to provide "working definitions."

TRUMP: U.S. needs larger version of 'ten foot wall' around Obama DC mansion - The American MirrorThe American Mirror
"President Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to call out President Obama’s hypocrisy over a border wall.
President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound. I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!

“President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound,” Trump tweeted.
“I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!” he added.
Trump was referring to the large barrier the Obamas erected around the Northwest D.C. house they purchased after leaving the White House.
In May 2017, crews completed the brick and metal wall surrounding his home in the tony Kalorama neighborhood.

Quality civil "servants"-----Couple seeking marriage license forced to prove New Mexico is a state

Couple seeking marriage license forced to prove New Mexico is a state
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Gavin Clarkson, a recent candidate for New Mexico secretary of state, experienced a one-of-our-50-states-is-missing moment earlier this month when applying for a marriage license in the nation's capital.
Clarkson, who lives in Las Cruces, and his then-fiancée visited the District of Columbia Courts Marriage Bureau on Nov. 20 to apply for a marriage license.
But, once there, the couple encountered a small problem, Clarkson said.
The clerk wouldn't accept Clarkson's driver's license – from New Mexico – as proof of his identity. 
Rather, the clerk, who mistakenly believed Clarkson was a foreign citizen, said he would have to provide an international passport to get the marriage license.
After Clarkson objected, the clerk went to check with a supervisor, who confirmed Clarkson would need a passport..."

Ballot-harvesting, not just for California anymore...

Ballot-harvesting, not just for California anymore...
See the source image"...But are Americans aware of the potential for California vote-rigging to come to their states, making them so blue that no conservative will ever be able to win an election?
A California political operative, Edward Ring, writing in American Greatness, lays out the coming spectacle:
Come to California to see what's going to roll out across America in time to guarantee a progressive landslide in 2020.  
It may be perfectly legal.  
But it's so rigged it would make Boss Tweed blush. 
...The way they did this was to pass laws designed to rig the system.
Three laws in particular combined to stack the deck against Republicans.  

  • First came the Motor Voter law.  This meant that as soon as any California resident acquired or renewed his driver's license or state ID, he would be registered to vote automatically.  
  • Second, the state legislature authorized counties automatically to send absentee ballots to voters, even if they had not requested those ballots.  
  • Third, the rules governing ballot custody were changed so that anyone could turn in absentee ballots, not just the actual voter.

..Democrats... want what California has and are likely to pass the three laws California did to seal their permanent power entrenchment: Motor Voter laws that register voters whether they like it or not, absentee ballots mailed to voters whether they like it or not, and ballot-harvesting with no chain of custody by absolutely anyone.
Democrats are salivating in other states to put these measures through...
What it shows is that statehouses are important because they set election laws. 
If the state is run by Democrats, rest assured they will take every advantage to secure absolute power.  
What's needed now is a concerted Republican counterattack, not to secure absolute power, as the Democrats have done, but to secure free and fair elections from a willing electorate..."

Letter to the Editor: Weapons, armor of the Democrat Party – West Newsmagazine

Letter to the Editor: Weapons, armor of the Democrat Party – West Newsmagazine
"To the Editor:
In 1968, prior to going to Vietnam, I was trained in the U.S. Navy’s “Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape” school.
During one exercise, we were prisoners in a simulated P.O.W. camp. 
We heard communist propaganda, based on speeches our P.O.W.’s heard during the Korean War.
In an effort to break military discipline and morale, blacks were told that the white Americans didn’t see them as equals.
Enlisted men were told officers thought they were “dirt.”
Men of faith were mocked.
We were taught that if captured, the enemy would use hate, fear, and division to defeat us.
Years ago, I began to see Democrats use those tactics against other Americans.
See the source imageHate, fear and division became the sword, spear and dagger of the Democrat Party. Referencing Midwesterners, Barack Obama said, “… it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” 
Obama fed jealousy and envy when he said “the wealthiest Americans should pay their fair share,” even though he admitted he paid less than half the standard rate for his income bracket.
Hillary Clinton slammed Trump supporters when she said, “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?”
Joe Biden upped the hyperbole when he warned black Americans of Mitt Romney, saying; “They’re going to put y’all back in chains.”
During the 2016 election cycle, Democrats implied that under President Trump gays would be put into concentration camps. 
In the daily media, President Trump is compared to Adolph Hitler and ISIS.
Democrats don’t fight on the battlefield of ideas, or facts.
They fight on the field of emotional base instincts and personal destruction.
They didn’t argue the philosophy, or qualifications of a constitutionalist Supreme Court Justice nominee like Brett Kavanaugh. 
They painted him as a diabolical, drunken serial rapist, with no evidence, or our foundational principle of the presumption of innocence.
While fear, hate and division are their weapons, false moral superiority is the Democrat’s shield.
Conservative Republicans say that Democrats are wrong about economic and social issues. Democrats say Republicans are selfish and evil.
You can’t debate truth under those conditions.
They say they are the only Americans who care about other people, even though studies have shown that liberals donate to charity and even give blood less than conservatives.
A liberal will give you the shirt off someone else’s back.
They ignore the failures of their ideology.
One-hundred million people died under communism during the 20th century.
Venezuela and Cuba provide the real evidence of the price of the sweet illusion of socialism.
That’s why Democrats hide conservative truth, whether it is on a college campus, social media, CNN, or the New York Times.
The truth is that Americans are doing better under President Trump, including blacks, Hispanics, women, and gays.
Democrats can’t afford to let their base see the truth of our success under President Trump. 
That is their Achilles heel.

Better than giving the commissars more "free money"-----Fans of Best of the Web Today-I've been thinking about Venezuela

(1) Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith
"I've been thinking about Venezuela - not about what craphole the socialists have turned it into, but what happens next in a post-socialist country.
There will be a post-socialist Venezuela because the socialist government will fall and capitalism will come because capitalism needs no government support to survive - it only needs two people who each have something the other wants, needs or desires and both are willing to trade.
See the source imageI've been thinking about whether it makes sense to put together a group of technicians, engineers, managers and financiers over the next few years, people who are willing to invest time and money in rebuilding middle market industries down there. 
...They are going to need people who know how various industries work and how to bring them back. Venezuelan industry hasn't modernized, it actually has been sliding backwards in time as the death spiral continues.
A friend of mine made a killing in the 1990's while advancing technology in a country when he put together a group that bought a medium sized, privately owned, specialty tire manufacturer (made farm and heavy equipment tires) and a couple of years later, sold it to a Russian company.
The Russian tire industry had not modernized and was still making tires the way they were made in the 50's.
This business my friend's group bought was not up to date as compared to US technology standards but was decades ahead of the Russian factories.
I've seen cases where entire factories were imported - a less efficient, less competitive factory here in the US is the cream of the crop in most countries like Venezuela..."
