Hillary Clinton's Secret Service detail kept process server from delivering Tulsi Gabbard lawsuit: lawyer - TheBlaze

Hillary Clinton's Secret Service detail kept process server from delivering Tulsi Gabbard lawsuit: lawyer - TheBlaze:

Image result for flickr commons images hillary clintonHawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is suing Hillary Clinton for defamation after Clinton suggested Gabbard was a Russian asset, but Clinton is refusing to be served with the lawsuit, according to Gabbard's lawyer.
The attorney, Brian Dunne, told the New York Post that multiple attempts to deliver the $50 million lawsuit have been rebuffed either by Secret Service agents or Clinton's legal representatives.
"I find it rather unbelievable that Hillary Clinton is so intimidated by Tulsi Gabbard that she won't accept service of process," Dunne said. "But I guess here we are."

1848 - The Mexican War was ended with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The treaty turned over portions of land to the U.S., including Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, California and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. The U.S. gave Mexico $15,000,000 and assumed responsibility of all claims against Mexico by American citizens. Texas had already entered the U.S. on December 29, 1845.

Smith: Media Elites Just Insulted Trump Voters Again:

Image result for Wikicommons Images  Don LemonThe now infamous clip of CNN anchor Don Lemon laughing along at insults of Trump voters represents everything wrong with the media, elites, and the NeverTrump swamp creatures trying their hardest to turn off new additions to the party.
If you’re a bit confused as to which time Lemon has insulted whites, Trump voters, or some combination of the two…it’s understandable. I’m not talking about the time he called white men “the biggest terror threat” in America. Nor am I talking about the time he chuckled alongside CNN Contributors Bakari Sellers and Tara Setmayer, who called MAGA convert Kanye West “an example of what happens when Negroes don’t read” and “a token negro,” respectively.

Why Hong Kong's Economy Has Grown 7x Faster Than Cuba's Since Since the 1950s - Foundation for Economic Education

Why Hong Kong's Economy Has Grown 7x Faster Than Cuba's Since Since the 1950s - Foundation for Economic Education

  • Neil Monnery’s book "A Tale of Two Economies" explains how the fortunes of Hong Kong and Cuba were shaped by two individuals.

"Back in 2014, I compared Hong Kong’s amazing growth with Cuba’s pitiful stagnation and made the obvious point that free markets and limited government are the right recipe for prosperity.
Especially if you care about improving the lives of the less fortunate.
Communists claim that their ideology represents the downtrodden against the elite, yet the evidence from Cuba shows wretched material deprivation for most people.
In Hong Kong, by contrast, incomes have soared for all segments of the population.
How important are key individuals in shaping the success or failure of economies? …Neil Monnery’s A Tale of Two Economies is in some sense a polemic against historical determinism, at least insofar as promoting economic reforms is concerned.It stresses the importance of two single individuals, one a great man for many, one an obscure official and political unknown to the most, in shaping the destiny of their respective countries. …Ernesto “Che” Guevara and John Cowperthwaite. …Monnery insists that both of them were “deep and original thinkers.” …The key difference between the two was perhaps that Cowperthwaite had a solid education in economics… Neither the way in which Hong Kong progressed, nor Cuba’s, were thus inevitable..."

"The fracas over Don Lemon of CNN laughing at his panel's insults about the intelligence of Trump supporters raises a larger issue: the ignorant belief that Trump supporters are much dumber than the general public and much dumber than those who supported Clinton in 2016.  
...The mean verbal ability score for Trump supporters was 6.15 words correct, while the mean verbal ability score for Clinton supporters was 5.69 correct, a difference of nearly a half a question on a 10-question test.

Presidents Have the Authority—and Every Right—to Remove Ambassadors | The Heritage Foundation:

Image result for Wikicommons Images Marie Yovanovitch TrumpMultiple news outlets last week reported on a 2018 video recording in which two men with Ukrainian connections, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, apparently inform President Donald Trump that the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, was undermining his policy and asserting that he soon would be impeached. In response, Trump reportedly ordered: “Get rid of her.”
Unsurprisingly, this recording became part of the broader impeachment debate, which accuses Trump of abuse of power, even though Yovanovitch herself acknowledges that she “served at the pleasure of the president.”

The Fiscal Cost of Resettling Refugees in the United States
"...Reflecting America’s long tradition of providing refuge to the oppressed, we have admitted over 3.5 million people since 1980 and 96,900 refugees just in the last year in 2016.
See the source imageAs the nation considers what levels of immigration we can fiscally and environmentally sustain, it is important to understand the costs of resettling both refugees (people seeking refugee status abroad) and political asylum seekers (those applying for refugee status from within the United States).
According to a new study released by FAIR, the annual cost to U.S. taxpayers is $1.8 billion and over five years, that financial burden skyrockets to $8.8 billion.
...The cost per refugee to American taxpayers just under $79,600 in the first five years after a refugee is resettled in the U.S...."

  • The more economic freedom the lower corruption (higher transparency).
"Although I was born and raised in a country where corruption, especially petty corruption, had become part of many aspects of life, I only began studying the issue more thoroughly when corruption measurements were published.
The first of these was that of Transparency International, which released the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) in 1995.
The annual index continues to be expanded and improved, and the 2019 ranking was released last week.
It covers 180 countries and territories around the world..."

Barr Warns That ‘Militant Secularists’ Are Imposing Values On Religious People | The Daily Caller:

Image result for wikicommons images William BarrAttorney General William Barr warned that religious people are not imposing their beliefs on others, but that “militant secularists” are imposing their values on religious people.
Barr discussed religious freedom in the United States during an interview with Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York and co-host Father Dave Dwyer, CSP, on SiriusXM’s The Catholic Channel. The attorney general warned that religion is being “driven out of the marketplace of ideas,” and that “there’s an organized, militant secular effort to drive religion out of our lives.”
