Investigative journalist: Why is Bill Clinton escaping scrutiny in Jeffrey Epstein case? | Fox News
"Following a bombshell interview in which Virginia Roberts Giuffre claimed she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and forced to have sex with Prince Andrew, an investigative reporter is asking why former President Bill Clinton is not being discussed.
On "The Story," New York Post writer Maureen Callahan claimed it is odd that Andrew is most notable person to become embroiled in the alleged scandal so far.
"It seems very curious that so far the highest-profile man to be potentially taken down by this -- because we don't know what's going to happen yet -- though this does not look good for Andrew ... is, in essence, a dim, useless member of an aging monarchy," Callahan told host Martha MacCallum.
Andrew, the Duke of York and younger brother of heir apparent Prince Charles, has vehemently denied Giuffre's allegations.
"We know, for example, that Bill Clinton was on planes owned by Jeffrey Epstein, was on Jeffrey Epstein's private island multiple times," Callahan added. "I cannot believe we're not talking about him."...

Democrat Counsels Barry Berke, Daniel Goldman Donated Thousands to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama | Breitbart:

Barry Berke and Daniel Goldman, the lawyers for Democrats in Monday’s impeachment hearing at the House Judiciary Committee, have donated thousands of dollars to Hillary Clinton and other Democrats over several elections, federal records show.
Berke, the Democrats’ counsel on the Judiciary Committee, gave a maximum contribution of $2,700 to Hillary Clinton in 2015, during the Democratic presidential primary, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. He later donated thousands of additional dollars to her campaign. Berke also maxed out to Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 elections.

Michigan High School Teacher Tears Off Teenage Girl's Trump Pin
"...Rachel Sweet, WILX-TV in Lansing, Mich.:

A Mason High School student turns to the police claiming a teacher assaulted her during school hours because she supports President Trump.

Sadie Earegood confirmed with NEWS 10 that the teacher involved in the incident was Paul Kato. The Mason School District has not confirmed with us that the allegations against Kato are true.

Earegood claims she was assaulted by Kato who ripped her "Women For Trump" pin off of her shirt...

"He grabbed it and I pulled and I tried to push his hand away and he grabbed my shoulder, just kind of put his hand there, and then he started pulling more and more and I just started backing up."

The teacher allegedly then put the pin on his own shirt, upside-down, and said it "belonged that way."..."

Dershowitz: Democrat Impeachment Approach Akin to Stalin's KGB -- 'Show Me the Man and I'll Find You the Crime' | Breitbart:

“[W]hat they’re trying to do is what the KGB under Lavrentiy Beria said to Stalin, the dictator —I’m not comparing our country to the Soviet Union —I just want to make sure it never becomes anything like that. Beria said to Stalin, ‘Show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime.’ And that’s what some of the Democrats are doing. They have Trump in their sights. They want to figure out a way of impeaching him, and they’re searching for a crime.”

Dozens of Failed Climate Predictions Stretch 80 Years Back
"Apocalyptic climate and environmental catastrophes of global proportions have decimated the world many times over in recent decades—at least based on dozens of predictions made by various scientists, experts, and officials over the past 80 years.
...The predictions, some going as far back as 1930s, not only at times contradict each other, but sometimes foretell the same imminent catastrophe repeatedly for years, even decades, seemingly undeterred by past failures.

Pensacola Jihad Massacre Proves We've Learned Nothing Since the Fort Hood Attack | Columns

Pensacola Jihad Massacre Proves We've Learned Nothing Since the Fort Hood Attack | Columns
"Second Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, an aviation officer in the Saudi Air Force, opened fire at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla., on Friday, killing four people and wounding many others.
...Before he embarked upon his killing spree, someone who appeared to be Alshamrani ranted on Twitter about the evils of America.
...He was killing because of America’s supposed crimes against Muslims...
...Alshamrani was in the country to get aviation training. 
No one flagged him as a potential jihadi.
No one would even have dared to question him to try to ascertain his thoughts about the United States and the global jihad.
Any effort to have done so would have been denounced as “Islamophobic,” and would have been career suicide for whoever did the questioning.
We saw this with the Fort Hood jihad mass murderer, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who was praised and promoted despite alarming his colleagues with his talk of violent jihad.
None of his superiors dared do anything except promote him; they knew that if they questioned him about his loyalties, they would be the subject of a CNN feature story the next week on “Islamophobia in the Military,” and they would be looking at a dishonorable discharge.
Thirteen people died at Fort Hood because of the politically correct assumption that Islam is a religion of peace and that to raise suspicions about any Muslim is “Islamophobic” and evidence of nothing more than bigotry and racism..."

Caving to Bullies Over Religious Belief | The Heritage Foundation:

As we head into the Christmas season, religious liberty in America continues to be under attack, and it’s not just about whether people can say “Merry Christmas” in public places. With the recent controversy over Chick-fil-A bowing to pressure to end its financial support of charities the far left has labeled as “anti-gay,” organizations that dare to hold onto certain deeply held religious beliefs will likely be punished for it.

Historically Black Colleges & Financial Subsidies -- Do Failing They Deserve Billions in Handouts? | National Review

• A lack of accountability means that mismanaged institutions repeatedly get bailed out.

"The federal government shovels hundreds of millions of dollars per year to America’s 100 historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), with minimal accountability.
...and Congress has already rewarded the worst performers with loan deferment and forgiveness.
...Let’s look at the biggest number first.
Senator Booker hopes to throw $100 billion at HBCUs and minority-serving institutions (MSIs) in general.
Under his plan, he would transform HBCUs into social-activist organizations in “the fight against climate change,” though it remains unclear why being historically black makes them particularly well qualified for this task.
...Here’s what we’re already spending on HBCUs under Title III.
In 2019 Congress gave these 101 institutions $282 million, plus $79 million in “mandatory” money (for which the institutions need to do little but fill out a form), plus $73 million for Historically Black Graduate Institutions (including law and medical schools), plus $9 million for master’s-degree programs.
...On top of all that, Howard University gets its own annual appropriation of $237 million, nearly a billion dollars every four years, having been uniquely created and chartered by Congress in 1867.
...In 2019, Congress also offered $40 million in loan subsidies that are uniquely available to HBCUs. This number represents another entirely undeserved windfall.
This loan program, the HBCU Capital Financing Program, had been required by Congress in 2018 to forgive or defer hundreds of millions in loans to HBCUs, including those that had the full ability to pay.
...Meanwhile, early in 2018, Howard was still reeling from its failure to update its steam plant, whose pipes had burst in the cold and caused a delay in the start of classes. 
The taxpayers’ billions over the years had not gone into plainly required maintenance..."

Obama gave Common Core contract to publisher, got $65-million book deal in return? - American Thinker
"As far-left Democrats yell about bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors, let's turn to their own side of the aisle, starting with the once penniless President Obama, who left public office a very, very rich man.
...Ostensibly, it's mainly the work of his book deals.  
No bribery there, right? Well, ahem...

According to Investment Watch (IWB), something doesn't quite look right.

Obama gave Pearson Publishing $350 million to create Commoncore text and Pearson gave Obama a $65 million dollar book deal in return.

..That sounds like a classic bribe.  

You give me this big contract, and I'll kick back some to you at a later date.
