"Limitless Investigation of Trump Was Always the Plan"

If President Trump succeeds in "draining the swamp", America will truly be a better place...
At Breitbart.com, Charles Hurt recaps President Trump's winning over everyone and everything to be elected and closes by stating where we are now:
"It is the new standard for 'self-governance' in America. The people can elect any president they want. But then these people will do everything including assassinating their character to hound them from office. Truly, these people cannot fathom how much innocent taxpayers despise them."

Butt Out: World Surf League Wants Less Focus on Female Surfers' Bikinis

This idea could proliferate into other woman's sports; i.e., gymnastics, volleyball, ice skating, lingerie football, etc....
At Breitbart.com, Simon Kent reported on this:
"Newsweek reports the World Surf League (WSL) has asked photographers working for it to use their discretion when filming female surfers with scantily clad bottoms during specific manoeuvres — duck dives or bottom turns – in competition and in particular to avoid close-ups of female surfers wearing high-cut bikini bottoms."

NYC docs took bribes, lap dances to prescribe opioid, feds say

Humans are flawed. Doctors are human. And then there is corruption...
I saw this story by Tom Winter and Tracy Connor at MSN.com:
"An email from one sales representative to Freedman gave explicit instructions on how many new patients were needed to help meet a company target, according to the indictment.

'I'd rather you put 20 (or more, of course LOL) new patients (commercially insured of course, as always) on it in April even if we wind up getting only 10-14 approved, rather than only have you go with the safe 6-7 that you think will all get approved,' the email said.

Freedman replied: 'Got it.'"

Jihadi who wanted to bomb Big Ben had TWO council houses

Can you possibly imagine what's going on in the U.K.?...
On the U.K. Daily Mail website, Alex Green reported on this:
"Jihadi who wanted to bomb Big Ben had TWO council houses - one for him and one for his wife who 'wanted her independence' (then claimed MORE taxpayer money for being her 'carer')

Muhammad Abid, 27, was given a council flat in Manor Park by Newham Council

He was then able to swindle another first-floor flat for his wife in Canning Town"

David Hogg Gets Another College Rejection Letter, Still Doesn't Get It

Some things just need to be said...
Maria Hernandez delivers on Mr. Hogg in her post at "Victory Girls":
"From the moment the bodies were carried away from the scene of the carnage, Hogg has stood in the blood of his classmates and used their tragedy to gain attention for himself. There were television appearances, there were rallies and protests, and there were speaking engagements. And every time, Hogg demonstrated his lack of knowledge and understanding about the fundamental issues he thought himself qualified to discuss.

He and his pals claimed moral authority, publicly proclaimed themselves to be the 'experts' on firearm policy because they hid in a closet while a madman murdered their classmates. They consistently seek out national attention, thinking that their tragedy will shield them from criticism and that their admittedly heartbreaking experience will give them credibility and allow them to take what others have worked their asses off to achieve."

Right-to-Know Law violations by Reading reveal law's weakness

Elected officials clearly don't want any sunlight or public disclosures of their activities...
In the Alleentown, PA,Morning Call newspaper, Paul Muschick wrote about circumstances in nearby Reading, PA. Writing about Pennsylvania:
"This case highlights one of the biggest problems with the Right-to-Know Law. If an agency refuses to cooperate, even after being ordered to by the Office of Open Records, a records requester must sue to get the documents. Lawsuits are costly and time-consuming. A lot of people don’t have the resources to keep up the fight, so the bully wins.

The Right-to-Know Law allows agencies to be fined up to $1,500 for denying access to a public record in bad faith. But the Office of Open Records can’t levy the fine. Only a judge can. That must change."

Denmark PM: Nation Must Be 'Hermetically Sealed' from Migrants Who Want to Live off Taxpayers

Spoken by the leader of a country that has first hand experience about immigration...
Virginia Hale posted this to begin her story at Breitbart.com:
"The prime minister of Denmark has promised a nationwide crackdown on 'parallel societies', where migrants live off the state and make no effort to integrate.

‘Denmark should be open to those who can and will [work],’ Lars Løkke Rasmussen declared, adding that the nation’s borders 'should be hermetically sealed for those who do not want to', local media reported."

Divisive Democrats, United by Hate

This seems pretty much "spot on"...
It's part of Peter Lemiska's recent post at AmericanThinker.com:
"Blinded by their own hatred, liberals can't see that they, not Donald Trump, are responsible for the deep division in the country. Whatever Trump's flaws, those things that he stands for were never considered divisive in the past. Republicans and Democrats alike once stood together for personal responsibility, religious freedom, national pride, border security, and prosperity for all. And they all stood for the National Anthem.

The emotional divide in this country – the polarization of America – long predates Trump and was seriously aggravated during Obama's administration, something that, many would argue, was deliberate and calculated for political reasons. After all, the writings of another leftist community organizer, Saul Alinsky, were well known to Barack Obama. The 13th of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals is "Pick the target. Freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.""

Puerto Rico’s Trash Removal: A Big Mess Growing Bigger

This is not a pretty Caribbean island story...
At Spectator.org, Brian McNicoll recently wrote about Puerto Rico and it's issues:
"Contractors, like the now-notorious Whitefish, were hired for jobs for which they were unprepared or unqualified. Supplies have gone to rot in warehouses and in shipping containers on the island. Power remains out for more than a quarter of the population.

But, unfortunately, for years Puerto Rico has had problems with even the most basic of services, such as disposing of its trash. Of its 27 landfills, 20 do not meet federal standards. Many are little more than open sewers.

They don’t restrict access, which means everything from tomatoes to toilets to toxics can be dumped. There is no plastic liner between the waste and the ground, which allows pollution to sink into the water table. Privately operated landfills tend to operate near federal standards, but the public-run facilities lag far behind. And no one is around to do anything about it."

Time to Rebrand the Democratic Party as Socialists

Unfortunately, today's students are being denied learning the history and outcomes of "perfect" societies...
In a post at AmericanThinker.com, Alex Markovsky finishes with this:
"Although the election of Donald Trump has put a hold on the socialization of the USA, the socialist mission has not ceased. The Democratic Party has embraced a strategy of fanatical resistance. The Democrats are no longer acting as a political party -- they are the socialist cause. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to recognize the Democratic Party for what it really is, and what it means for posterity.

Whether its policies are called liberal or progressive, or democratic, in terms of the issues and, especially in terms of tactics, the party became a plagiarizing scum of Lenin’s faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP), or Bolsheviks, which coincidently also had “democratic” in its party name. A commonality of the ideological vocabulary of the Democratic Party leadership with Marxism; visceral hatred of capitalism and seductive promises of miraculous fulfilment of egalitarian dreams leaves little doubt about the Party becoming the source and spirit of a Marxist awakening."

Foreign Freeloading to Blame for High Drug Prices

Somehow, over time, America has put itself at the short end of many sticks. Politicians?...
On the American Spectator website, Betsy McCaughey recently wrote about drug pricing:
"Americans consume about 46% of the world’s brand name drugs but supply 70% of patented drug makers’ profits. France, Norway, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, Italy, and other government-run health systems buy the identical drugs at bargain prices — usually half what Americans pay. These state-run health systems often threaten to exclude a drug from their country entirely, even if it could save lives, until they extract a deep discount. Norway barred Roche’s breast cancer drug Perjeta, until the company slashed the price far below what Medicare pays.

These foreign governments know, when push comes to shove, a manufacturer will sell for a price that barely covers the cost of production, rather than not sell at all. That leaves American consumers stuck paying exorbitant prices to cover the sunk costs of researching and developing a new drug."

Leaked Audio Reveals Broward Co. Teachers Planning to Illegally Storm the White House

In today's world, very little is what it appears to be.
Everything is scripted (perhaps this is, too).
It will be interesting to see how this plays out...
At InfoWars.com, Laura Loomer reports:
"The meeting, which was described as a non-partisan briefing for students, parents, and staff members from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who are attending the #MarchForOurLives, was quickly exposed as being hijacked by Democratic Party top brass and fraught with extreme anti-conservative bias, misappropriation of school resources, and heavy-handed coaching for students when dealing with the media.

Held at the Marriott Hotel in Coral Springs, FL, the meeting was organized by Debby Miller, who teaches at Beachside Montessori Village, a Broward County Public School. Miller introduced herself as a representative for the Giffords Foundation, which has decided to fund and sponsor over 200 students, staff, and parents from Parkland, Florida to attend the march in Washington. Miller stated at the beginning of the meeting that the meeting space was donated by the Marriott Hotel."

Press Not Interested in Russian Meddling — Against U.S. Fossil Fuel Industry

Another issue on which the media's (by not reporting) bias is clear...
Tom Blumer reported this at NewsBusters.com:
"A Russian-backed propaganda group used social media in an attempt to disrupt the U.S. energy industry and influence energy policy, according to a new congressional staff report reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Unlike other Russian campaigns to stir political unrest in the U.S., this effort by the tech-savvy Internet Research Agency is characterized as mostly one-sided, agitating against American fossil-fuel production in a way lawmakers believe was aimed at benefiting Russia, the world’s largest oil producer.

Starting in 2015, workers at the IRA posted photos and messages on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter encouraging protests against pipeline construction in the U.S., calling for the abandonment of fossil fuels and stoking American controversy around climate change ..."

Swedish Countess Who Escaped to Hungary: “There is no Public Safety. We Live in Fear.”

Another story about Sweden.
It's no longer the Sweden it used to be...
This is part of a post on the Gates of Vienna website:
"Countess Natalie has lived in Sweden for almost forty years, and moved to Hungary because of the deterioration of public safety. In an exclusive interview with M1 [television], she also described how regular attacks have become in Swedish cities, but the police ignore them.

The Hungarian-Swedish woman was threatened after the publication of the interview, her Facebook page was hacked, smear-campaign articles were released, and one of the liberal Internet portals even published her home address. After that, Natalie’s life was threatened, so she reported it to the police.

Countess Natalie is now protected by professional guards who are former soldiers, said Georg Spöttle. The security expert added: After speaking several times with a woman who returned from Sweden, they decided with a friend to provide her with personal protection. According to Georg Spöttle, because the facts listed by Natalie cannot be denied, her enemies are now trying to damage her reputation."

Report: Hundreds of Girls Raped and Forced Into Prostitution in Small English Town

The U.K. has the same problem as many European countries.
For whatever reason (political correctness seems too polite), they can't seem to be honest about what is going on...
At Townhall.com, Chris Reeves recently reported:
"Just as with previous cases of mass sexual abuse of minors in Rotherham and Rochdale, British police, social workers, and city authorities in Telford reportedly took measures to cover up the crimes and the fact that their perpetrators were overwhelmingly of 'Asian'” descent (Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Indians, or Sri Lankans).

Although the Mirror report does not mention the religion of the alleged abusers, if the Telford case corresponds to the Rotherham and Rochdale incidents as closely it appears to, the Asian men are likely Muslims."

Immigration Disaster Looms in Germany

Germany is a long distance from California, but not on these issues...
At AmericanThinker.com, Alex Alexiev wrote about what's happening:
"Milton Friedman once said open borders and the welfare state are incompatible. This is easy to prove in California, where, according to a recent essay by Victor Davis Hanson, half of all immigrant households are on welfare and the state accounts for a third of the nation's welfare recipients with only 12% of its population, even as 20% of California's population lives below the poverty line. Recent figures published in Europe's economic powerhouse, Germany, indicate that following Angela Merkel's disastrous open-borders experiment of two and a half years ago, that country is well on its way to joining California in proving the wisdom of Friedman's admonition, to the huge detriment of the German people.

Official figures of the German statistical office show that beginning in 2015, Germany accepted 1.4 million asylum applications. According to detailed figures from 2016, 71.4% were granted asylum or 'subsidiary' protected status, while 28.6% were rejected. Being rejected, however, did not at all mean that you had to leave Germany or were in danger of being deported. Most of those rejected filed an appeal (64,251 in 2016), and 31.7% of those received a negative decision. Even then, few of those rejected left voluntarily, and even fewer were deported. According to the daily Die Welt, citing government figures, most of the migrants remain in Germany, regardless of the asylum decision."

The Coming Collusion Bloodbath - Kevin McCullough

Clearly, a huge mountain for investigators to climb...
At Townhall.com, Kevin McCullough included this powerful paragraph in his recent post:
"There was collusion in the election of 2016. It involved Russians, a British ex-spy, law firms, FBI agents, DOJ attorneys, an FBI director that prejudged evidence, an Attorney General that had an unethical meeting with the spouse of a target, FISA warrants obtained on faulty information that stemmed from political sources, a Deputy Director whose wife received monetary support in an election, an FBI director who lied to Congress, an FBI Deputy Director who lied to the Justice Department’s Inspector General, loads of classified materials that were mishandled and criminally passed to those without clearances, and partisan hacks spearheading inquiries aiming for political outcomes. The scope of this collusion is overwhelming, the attempts are a damning indictment of political operatives that have lost all integrity, and sadly an administration, a major political party, and agents of a deep state that attempted in a wide sweeping number of ways to undo an election that they lost."

Trump Admin Blasts California over Appointment of Illegal Alien to State Office

Repeat after me: "California is lost"...
This is within a post by Joel B. Pollak at Breitbart.com:
"Mateo was brought to the U.S. from Mexico at the age of 14 by her parents, who are also illegal aliens.

Unlike other so-called 'Dreamers,' Mateo is not eligible for the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. In 2013, she returned to Mexico and visited family in Oaxaca before attempting to cross the border illegally back into the U.S. as part of a protest. She was arrested and detained at the border before being released after she petitioned for asylum."

Feds planned to charge Gardens teen for international school threats

The F.B.I. again...
This was reported by Hannah Winston in the Palm Beach Post:
"Initially, the FBI did not want to charge Johnson because he was a juvenile and 'believed a redirection approach would be the most beneficial regarding his conduct.' So in March 2017, the FBI got consent to 'mirror' Johnson’s computer activity.

Additionally, they spoke with the teen —who denied any affiliation with ISIS — and told him 'to cease all social media activities related to ISIS and any other terrorist organization' and have no further contact with the Catholic high school in England, the report said.

By the summer of 2017, the FBI said Johnson was back to making more online posts and that they were working to bring official charges against him, according to the police report.

In February, the FBI said it had all the evidence it needed and that an assistant U.S. attorney had probable cause to charge Johnson.

On March 5, Jupiter police checked in with the FBI to see where they were with the federal charges and the agent said the affidavits would be 'coming in the next several weeks.'

A week later, Johnson was in jail for the fatal stabbing in Palm Beach Gardens."

Hillary Clinton fractures her wrist after slipping in a bathtub

Pretty shaky for a while now...
This links to the U.K. Daily Mail Online. They usually have plenty of pictures:
"Hillary Clinton's wrist injury is worse than originally thought

The former Secretary of State was forced to cancel her appearances in Jodhpur, India this week when she slipped in a palace bathtub and hurt her wrist

Doctors advised the 70-year-old to rest, but the pain grew unbearable so she was taken to the hospital early Wednesday morning

A CT Scan and X-ray confirmed she had a hairline fracture on her wrist

This is the second time the former presidential candidate has injured herself on her India after slipping on steps at a 13th century harem"

California Appoints Illegal Alien to State Office

California is lost...
At Breitbart.com, Joel B. Pollak reported this:
"California has its first illegal alien in state office, after Senate President pro Tem Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) appointed Lizbeth Mateo to the California Student Opportunity and Access Program Project Grant Advisory Committee.

Mateo, an attorney, was born in Mexico and came to the U.S. illegally at the age of 14 with her parents, who are also illegal aliens, according to the Sacramento Bee."

Immigration Is Destroying the Welfare State

Many Americans clearly cannot see that the Democrats are NOT really interested in some things they claim to be interested in...
Spencer P. Morrison recently wrote about this on the American Thinker website:
"For decades, Democrats campaigned on promises of cradle-to-grave care for low-income Americans, while at the same time they have allowed millions of immigrants to enter America and collect welfare – without ever having contributed a dime to the public purse. This is not only unfair; it is unsustainable. The welfare state is collapsing under its own weight, and mass immigration is only making this bad problem worse."

What MAGA looks like: A report from West Virginia

Sounds good to me, and obviously good for the citizens (voters)...
Thomas Lifson tells us about it at AmericanThinker.com:
"The economic vector of West Virginia (and parts of Pennsylvania and Ohio adjoining it) has reversed course since the election of President Donald Trump, going from depressed (and forgotten) to growing and attracting huge structural investments from overseas. You can see the changes on the ground, not just in dry economic statistics. It is one thing to read about GNP growth roughly doubling since President Trump reformed the oppressive regulatory environment and devoted attention to reviving King Coal to his former majesty in West Virginia (and then some).

Casey Jenkins of the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader writes from Wheeling, WV about what is already visible and what is on the way for one of the most depressed areas of the nation:"

A Little Slice of Alaskan Tundra Is Finally Open for Drilling

ANWR's coastal plane equals 1,500,000 acres.
Area designated for exploration equals 2,000 acres...
At Townhall.com, Paul Driessen recently wrote about it:
"At long last, the tax-cut legislation just passed by Congress allows America to benefit from the petroleum resources that experts predict will be found in a small section of the plain, along Alaska’s northern coast. The legislation directs the Interior Department to hold at least two lease sales over the next 10 years, for a maximum of 2,000 acres opened to drilling. Analysts say the sales could fetch as much as $2.2 billion. The area contains an estimated 10.4 billion barrels of oil, says Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Others put the petroleum potential even higher."

Conspicuous Consumption & the American Megahospital

Certainly, the money spent on some things could be better used on actual care and equipment...
On The American Spectator website Hunt Lawrence and Daniel J. Flynn began their recent post with this:
"At St. Vincent’s Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts, visitors immediately encounter a waterfall, trees, massive rocks, and a pathway for hospital-goers interested in a stroll all located underneath a glass atrium. The massive indoor nature preserve of sorts appears about half the size of a football field. It provides peace and tranquility in a place in need of such comforts.

Once one gets past the beauty and grandeur of it, thoughts run to the expense. Americans spend $3.5 trillion on healthcare annually. The lavish look of so many hospitals reminds that these institutions bankrolled in part by third parties — taxdollars and insurance companies — do not cut corners. The sheer majesty of so many big-city hospitals — and even, as this one shows, medium-sized city hospitals — acts as metaphor for the entire healthcare system.

We waste a lot of money."

Child pornography is the worst; but, that being said, this really is a "slippery slope"...

"Other documents show that over the years of working with Geek Squad employees, FBI agents developed a process for investigating and prosecuting people who sent their devices to the Geek Squad for repairs. The documents detail a series of FBI investigations in which a Geek Squad employee would call the FBI’s Louisville field office after finding what they believed was child pornography."

Sealed Indictments list grows to 18,500 - Puppet String news

Try to figure what this is all about.
It would be hard to think anything other than something really big is going down...
An accompanying chart is posted at Puppet String News. For reference, there were 1077 sealed indictments for the entire year of 2006:
"Here is the updated sealed indictment list. The indictment list new count adds 4,900 new sealed indictments in the new reporting period from January 29th to February 28, 2018. This is still one of the main reasons why things like arrests and indictments have not been named, because sealed indictments in the thousands are still being added.

Crazy thing about this is that this sealed indictment list now pretty much equals the amount of new prisoner spaces being constructed at Guantanamo Bay...What we know as the US NAVY's Camp Delta military prison. Could this possibly be the last update of the sealed indictment list, as President Trump on March 1st just made changes to the UCMJ's Courts Martial process through Executive Order? With that being said I think we are getting close to the end of the sealed indictments in all 90 plus US Districts."

"Incidents at schools such as the University of Missouri and Evergreen College, whose enabling of snowflake culture made national headlines, have convinced prospective students and their parents that the lunatics have indeed taken over the asylums.

Oxycontin Maker Quietly Worked to Weaken Legal Doctrine That Could Lead to Jail Time for Executives

Considering pharma company executives are probably well paid; perhaps, they should spend some of it on personal liability insurance.
That being said, maybe this method, and/or well placed political contributions are the equivalent...
On "theIntercept" website Lee Fang tells us about it:
"Executives in multiple industries have long been kept up at night by knowledge of the looming power of the Responsible Corporate Office, or RCO doctrine, also known as the Park doctrine, a legal liability standard used largely to prosecute executives at companies responsible for affecting public health and safety. Under the Park doctrine, federal prosecutors could target senior executives and board members of opioid pharmaceutical companies for their role in the sprawling epidemic if violations of criminal law were proved true, regardless of whether they could prove knowledge or motivation.

Purdue helped to quietly finance an effort to unravel that doctrine, according to people with knowledge of the company’s activity.

Executives at Purdue were once charged using the corporate office doctrine in 2007, in a case that found that the company had 'misbranded' its drugs as less likely to be abused than other narcotics. The company agreed to pay a settlement of $634.5 million."

Sweden Democrats Refute PM's 'No Go Zone' Denial as 'Fake News'

Sweden's Prime Minister Stefan Loefven kinda said there were no such thing, but there's another view...
At Breitbart.com, Raheem Kassam reports on that "other" view:
"But Jimmie Akesson — leader of the insurgent Sweden Democrats — told Breitbart London this evening:

The Prime Minister’s statement is simply not true. We have re-occurring incidences of cancelled bus lines in fear of entering certain immigrant heavy areas, frequent attacks on emergency vehicles, oftentimes lured in there by fake 911 calls for the sole purpose of attacking the emergency personnel, and even reluctance in simple services such as delivering mail or investigating illegal television/cable services. In some areas self-appointed sharia police patrol the streets enforcing dress-code rules and proper Islamic behaviours.

Akesson added: 'The police themselves have confirmed the existence of no go zones for the entire world to see. The statements of the Prime Minister is nothing short of a classic example of fake news.'"

And apparently, the Prime Minister doesn't read his own country's news...
I found this on the Gateway Pundit website:
"Danish reporter Jeppe Juhl from Newsspeek TV described the deteriorating situation in Sweden, a once peaceful country that now is regarded as the rape capital of the West.

According to Jeppe, Sweden now has 53 no-go zones where police will not enter without backup and often wear bulletproof vests. The same policies are apply to ambulance drivers and firemen."

The Mass Shootings Aren’t About Guns, They’re About Our Culture

This conclusion seems absolutely correct to me...
At Townhall.com, D.W. Wilber writes about this issue and concludes:
"Yes gun violence exists in America, but it’s not because of some inanimate object jumping up and killing innocent people. It exists because of people who are willing to gun down their fellow man without feeling any remorse, or even acknowledging responsibility for the carnage they inflict.

They’ve been ‘numbed’ inside. Heartless, cold, and calculating killers. The product of our progressive liberal education system, and the Democrat politicians who have created it."

Obama’s Secret M.I.T. Talk

Weird.  Hundreds of people threatened?...

At Spectator.org, Melissa Mackenzie recently wrote about it:

"Reason Magazine received a recording of the event but they’re not giving away their sources. The media and speech goers were told that they would never again receive access. These sycophants or cowards, choose one, didn’t give up their names, just the content.

'On Friday, former President Barack Obama spoke for an hour to an audience of hundreds of people at a major sports policy conference at MIT, but his remarks were off-the-record and kept completely secret by virtually all attendees, who had to agree that they would not record, photograph, tweet, or report on the event before being granted a seat in the audience. Reason obtained a recording of the speech, however, and the most newsworthy thing about it is the simple fact that the public wasn’t supposed to hear it.'

Who, from the media, attended and complied with the diktats of His Royal Highness Barack Obama? There should be a list made of these organizations."

Your Feelings Have Nothing to Do with the Second Amendment

We all have feelings about things; however, laws and constitutional rights supercede them...
At AmericanThinker.com, William Sullivan explains and more:
"If the practical result is that my rights are inarguably infringed, why would your feelings, my feelings, or anyone else's feelings have any relevance whatsoever?

This is not a discussion. These are my rights. How you feel about the exercising of my rights doesn't matter at all. And if it is decided that your feelings warrant the legal erosion of my rights, isn't it clear that what we're talking about are not, in fact, 'rights' as understood by our Founders, but allowances that government either permits or rescinds based upon the whims of a perceived majority opinion?"

The Scandal That Must Not Be Named - Paul Jacob

In the world of "identity politics", your side is "right"; no matter what the facts are...
At Townhall.com, Paul Jacob recently wrote about the I.R.S. facts:
"The lawsuits filed by Tea Party and conservative organizations against the IRS targeting have also now been settled with the federal government paying up big time. Sadly, it is with our money and without an apology, but as discussed earlier with perhaps some deterrent provided.

As attorney Edward Greim declared at the outset of the litigation: 'If the government is right in this case, it means that from now on, no matter who the president is, the IRS can pick out a group of people that disagrees with the president and pull those people out, delay them, harass them, target them, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. And our position is very simple: That cannot be true and that’s not the republic that we live in.'"

Teacher Coalition Seeks to End Obama School Discipline Policy: ‘A Lot of Fear in Schools’ | Breitbart

I read this as telling school districts NOT to discipline minorities.
No discipline prevented records or statistics to show what's really happening...
At Breitbart.com, Dr. Susan Berry recently reported on this:
"'He probably wouldn’t have been able to buy the murder weapon if the school had referred him to law enforcement,' veteran FBI agent Michael Biasello told RealClearInvestigations (RCI). In 2014, the Obama administration issued a 'Dear Colleague' guidance that threatened school districts – whose disciplinary measures showed a disproportionately greater number of minority students affected – could be subject to investigation by the Departments of Justice and Education, regardless of whether the behaviors leading to the discipline were unacceptable."

Tucker Carlson Reveals Shocking New Gov't Statistics Democrats Don't Want You to Hear

It's no surprise that some would like this kept very quiet...
Matthew K. Burke posted about this on the Politistick.com website:
"According to statistics from the U.S. Sentencing Commission, noncitizens are actually far more likely to commit serious crimes than Americans are. Noncitizens account for 22%, more than a fifth of all federal murder convictions, 18% of fraud convictions, 33% of money laundering convictions, 29% of drug trafficking convictions and 72% of convictions for drug possession."

Merkel Admits 'No-Go' Zones Exist in Germany

So, she was the last to know? Not likely.
Immigrant friendly elected officials all across Europe have continually denied the existence of these "no go" areas.
That, in spite of citizens, police, first responders, documentary makers, all reporting they do exist...
On Breitbart's London website, Virginia Hale reported:
"The existence of no-go zones in Europe had been a matter of debate — with liberal commentators insisting they were a fiction — even after Breitbart London editor in chief published his work on the subject, No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You. The admission by Merkel is a vindication for Kassam and others who have chronicled No Go Zones and their causes for years. The German leader’s acknowledgement of the existence of no-go zones was welcomed in Hungary, where government spokesman Zoltán Kovács noted the nation’s prime minister has been pilloried by liberal critics for making very similar points."

Corruption Is the Fruit of a Biased Media

This writer's hope is also my hope...
At AmericanThinker.com, Michael E. Young identifies the problem:
"It was by the grace of God that the American people rose up to thwart the left from continuing their march of American decline despite the attempts by the previous administration to obfuscate the truth about the most corrupt politician in generations. It is my hope that the forthcoming revelations of Uranium One and Fusion GPS will continue to wake up reasonable people across the political spectrum and expose the real dangers to our blessed nation by a mainstream media that has completely sold out for one side of the political argument.

The Real Donald Trump You Won't Hear About from the Liberal Media

There are a LOT of stories like this.
Our biased media just can't bring themselves to acknowledge them...
At Townhall.com, Wayne Allyn Root recenttly shared his first hand experience:
"We all hear all kinds of stories about President Trump...and all kinds of opinions about him...but few have ever actually met him, let alone spent quality time with him. I have. "

Of the 27 Deadliest Mass Shooters, 26 of Them Had One Thing in Common

And this thing is very likely to also be a factor in many other societal issues...
Mark Meckler posted this and more on his blog:
"Fatherlessness is a serious problem. America’s boys have been under stress for decades. It’s not toxic masculinity hurting them, it’s the fact that when they come home there are no fathers there. Plain and simple. Add that to a bunch of horrible cultural trends telling them that everything bad is good (gang culture, drugs, misogyny, etc.), and we’ve got a serious problem on our hands.

Venker goes on to explain that of CNN’s list of the “27 Deadliest Mass Shootings In U.S. History, only one was raised by his biological father since childhood."

HGTV’s Chip and Joanna Gaines Aren’t Ashamed of the Gospel

Considering the conflicts surrounding so many "reality TV" celebrities, I hope this couple are as genuine as they appear...
On the ChristianDiarest.com website JP, a lay Christian writes about the "Fixer-Upper" couple:
"Chip and Joanna Gaines grace the cover of People magazine’s October 23, issue. The husband and wife costars of the home makeover show ‘Fixer Upper’ – the highest rated series in HGTV’s history – explained why they decided to walk away from their hit series after five successful seasons.

I’ve had my suspicions about the Waco, Texas couple since I caught an episode in which Joanna placed several pieces of artwork on a wall. The piece that stood out to me proclaimed: 'We walk by faith, not by sight.'"

Exclusive: State Department tells refugee agencies to downsize U.S. operations

A popular move for some of us; not so for some others...
This was recently reported at Reuters.com:
"(Reuters) - The U.S. State Department has told refugee agencies it will sharply pare back the number of offices across the country authorized to resettle people in 2018 as President Donald Trump cuts the number of refugees allowed into the United States. "

The Politics of San Francisco's Homelessness Problem

I'll just use the author's summary: "The facts are clear: in the most liberal and progressive and Democrat-controlled city in the country, one can find the largest homeless population living in the unhealthiest conditions of any city."...
At AmericanThinker.com, Michael Bargo, Jr. writes about it:
"The list of those in public health working for the County of San Francisco goes on and on. It appears that $300,000 is a benchmark for the top officials. There are about 300 persons in San Francisco County's government who received a salary in the $300,000 to $400,000 area. Then there are over 2,300 people working for the County of San Francisco who earn between $200K and $300K a year.

The point is, these people, numbering less than 2,300, took in about $575,000,000 in 2016 just in salary and benefits. If you add those who made from $300K to $400K in 2016, that's an additional $100 million. So in 2016, San Francisco County spent about $675,000,000 on just 2,600 salaried employees. That's over a half-billion dollars taken by less than 3,000 people while in 2017 at least 12,000 persons lived on the streets, and San Francisco couldn't afford to provide portable toilets to them or overnight sleeping facilities."
