• Google keeps a log of everywhere you go if you use Google apps and services on your phone.
• It has a creepy level of detail that might surprise you.
• Google makes it easy to find this information and limit how it can track you, though. Here’s how to do that.

Google knows a lot about you and, if you use Google Maps or other Google apps, it stores a copy of everywhere you go.
I recently performed Google’s “Privacy Checkup” to learn a bit more about what it knows about me, and was pretty surprised at the level of detail it had on my exact locations..."

Mueller Investigation Was Driven by Pious Hypocrisy | Works and Days

Mueller Investigation Was Driven by Pious Hypocrisy | Works and Days:

Special counsel Robert Mueller's two-year, $30 million, 448-page report did not find collusion between Donald Trump and Russia.
Despite compiling private allegations of loud and obnoxious Trump behavior, Mueller also concluded that there was not any actionable case of obstruction of justice by the president. It would have been hard in any case to find that Trump obstructed Mueller's investigation of an alleged crime.
One, there was never a crime of collusion. Mueller early on in his endeavors must have realized that truth, but he pressed ahead anyway. It is almost impossible to prove obstruction of nothing.

When Did Rome Really Fall? | Intellectual Takeout

When Did Rome Really Fall? | Intellectual Takeout
"...The belief that America is in decline has led to many comparisons between our time and the fall of Rome.
A current bestseller—The Benedict Option—makes the case that Christians today must recover and preserve Western tradition much like their predecessors did in the early centuries of the Middle Ages.
The date most commonly referenced for the fall of the Roman Empire is September 4, 476 A.D., when the barbarian Odoacer sacked Rome and abolished the office of Emperor.
This date was first assigned by the English historian Edward Gibbon in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776), and the societal conditions in Rome leading up to that date are the reference point for most apocalyptic comparisons between then and now.
But what many of you may not know is that there is considerable disagreement about when “Rome” actually fell, and even if it fell at all!
If you ask many Eastern Orthodox Christians, they will claim that the Roman Empire lasted until the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
Their reasoning?
In 330 A.D. the Emperor Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Byzantium, which he dedicated as the “new Rome” and renamed “Constantinople.”...

5 Creepy Science Terms That Explain Your Addiction to Junk Food | Intellectual Takeout

5 Creepy Science Terms That Explain Your Addiction to Junk Food | Intellectual Takeout
"Five years ago, the New York Times published an engaging exposé by Michael Moss titled “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food.”
...In case you didn’t have a chance to read it, here’s a summary of five industry-standard terms mentioned in the article that food scientists take into account when creating a food designed to be addictive.
1) “Bliss Point”
“Bliss point” is perhaps the most influential concept in junk food science.
It was coined by Dr. Howard Moskowitz (who is also known as “Dr. Bliss”) to refer to the “Goldilocks” amount of an ingredient—not too much, not too little, “just right”—that will optimize a consumer’s enjoyment of a product.
The Times article first introduced the concept of “bliss point” when recounting Moskowitz’s involvement with honing the recipe of Prego spaghetti sauces: ..."

Sean Hannity: Imagine if the Clintons are guilty of all the crimes they have accused Trump of committing | Fox News:

The Democratic Party is officially a dumpster fire of far-left radicalism, spinning in a thousand different directions, clamoring for impeachment fantasies, subpoena stunts and, of course, far-left socialism, the likes of which would destroy this country. President Trump is standing strong against this never-ending harassment and has vowed to fight every single step of the way -- the right thing to do. . Still, Operation "Crossfire Hurricane" -- the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia --  has now officially morphed into "Crossfire Boomerang" for the Clintons, the Democrats and all "Deep State" actors that abused power. The spotlight now shines brighter on her bought -and-paid for Russian lies, along with major new developments surrounding the notorious email server, involving Barack Obama, Anthony Weiner and more.

Important!-----Joe Biden launched his campaign by lying about Donald Trump

Joe Biden launched his campaign by lying about Donald Trump:

• Sure, Donald Trump said there were 'fine people on both sides' but in the next breath he condemned 'neo-Nazis and White nationalists.' Don't leave that out.

On Thursday, former Vice President Joe Biden announced his run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. He came out of the gate hard, citing the tragic August 2017 clash at Emancipation Park in Charlottesville between right- and left-wing demonstrators that left three dead and 38 injured. “That’s when we heard the words from the president of the United States that stunned the world and shocked the conscience of this nation,” Biden intoned, that there were “some very fine people on both sides.”  Biden said that Trump “assigned a moral equivalence between those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it,” and that in this moment Biden concluded “we are in a battle for the soul of the nation.”

Donald Trump pushed back just as hard, saying he “answered perfectly” to questions about the Charlottesville incident. This is certain to set off yet another round of hyperbolic virtue-signaling as commentators rush to condemn the president for what one historian called providing “cover for racist violence."

Taken out of context, the “fine people” quote does look troubling, but Trump’s critics never tell the whole truth. The statement came from an August 15, 2017 press availability, in which the president was engaged in a spirited discussion with journalists over the broader implications of the Charlottesville street clash. Check the transcript. 

Here's a more complete quote:

 "You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. ... I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name. ... So you know what, it's fine. You're changing history. You're changing culture. And you had people — and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the White nationalists, because they should be condemned totally — but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and White nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group."

Trump's condemnation of Neo-Nazis and White nationalists sparks widespread amnesia on the left. 

His perspective condemning bad actors on "both sides" fits within a long American intellectual tradition of denouncing the radicalism of the right and left.

But to liberal critics, the issue was miscast as simply black and white, and it quickly became a tool to denounce the president and stoke racial divisions in this country. Democratic National Committee Deputy Chair Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota charged that President Trump had “greenlit” Charlottesville-style protests by the extreme right, and that the violent left-wing protestors more accurately reflected American values than the president..."

NEVER trust the lib-media!!-----The Truth About Georgetown's Vote for Slavery Reparations | Intellectual Takeout

The Truth About Georgetown's Vote for Slavery Reparations | Intellectual Takeout
"The Georgetown University undergraduate student body recently elected to pay reparations for the sale of 272 slaves by the university in 1838, which it used to settle debts.
...This is not an argument for or against reparations; it’s about statistical purity and the media’s propensity for lackadaisical groupthink progressivism.
The comments fit a narrative.
As CBS News reported:
Georgetown University undergraduates have voted by a large margin in favor of a referendum seeking the establishment of a fund to benefit the descendants of enslaved people sold to pay off the school's debts.
Referendum Methodology...The proper understanding is that 66 percent of the 58 percent (=38%) who voted approved reparations.
...It’s being used by the media to drive a narrative the media wants to hear and they want to talk about.
Honestly, would there be the same media appetite for a vote about a crusading issue of the right?..."

"Most modern-day college classrooms are a sea of laptops.
The sounds of pens and pencils scurrying across lined paper have long been replaced by the tapping of keyboards.
Sure, typing notes is a lot easier than the old-fashioned method, but scientists can’t help but wonder: what are we sacrificing in exchange for this kind of convenience?
Are students learning like they should be?
Apparently not..."
