Today I watched CNN

Today I actually watched CNN. It was an interview with Sarah Sanders and she demolished the interviewer. When his last whine was "what about obstruction of justice?" She just said, "You can't obstruct a crime that never happened." It lasted over 5 minutes (seemed like 10) but this clip I found it the CNN website has been edited down to about 2.5 minutes, with the interviewer doing most of the talking and regurgitation the usual media lies. I can see why people who watch CNN are so confused and unpatriotic.

Think of the damage done to the President, his policies and the people who elected him by the Democrats and the lapdog media:

"An analysis found that more than 530,000 web articles focusing on Russia, President Trump and special counsel Robert Mueller have been published since the special counsel's investigation launched in May 2017, Axios reported Monday."

The articles generated 245 million interactions, including likes, comments and shares on social media giants Twitter and Facebook. Since the majority of the articles about him were negative, and these articles go out world wide, you see how Russia and Putin damaged our country with the help of the Democrats and the American media who fell for (or in) the false Clinton opposition research about the phony dossier.

And it's still going on. I watched CNN this morning. I know.  They won't give this up. It's just too lucrative.

Dating violence in middle school?

My jaw dropped when I saw this study. Reducing dating violence/partner abuse among middle school boys. What?! And then it got even more strange--to participate they had to "identify as male" i.e. it's possible some of these were girls, and the parents had to speak English, which means in those schools, immigrants were probably not included.

Also interesting, but not surprising was 91% of the parents who participated in the focus groups with their sons were mothers. William Farrell in "The Boy Crisis" notes that boys without father involvement are more likely to be violent and in mass shootings like Adam Lanza, Elliott Rodger, Dylann Roof, Nicklas Cruz and Stephen Paddock.

Yes, I know I read strange stuff—it’s a librarian thing.

A perfect storm—Venezuela and a measles outbreak

Some people don't think that socialism in Venezuela is a problem, or they think the problem hasn't been caused by "real" socialism"; and others think no vaccines is not a problem. So when they meet, it's a perfect storm. This abstract is from Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 25, Number 4—April 2019. Keep in mind, that although the U.S. isn't a "neighboring country," we are at risk from unvaccinated people storming our borders.

"Venezuela’s tumbling economy and authoritarian rule have precipitated an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Hyperinflation rates now exceed 45,000%, and Venezuela’s health system is in free fall. The country is experiencing a massive exodus of biomedical scientists and qualified healthcare professionals. Reemergence of arthropod-borne and vaccine-preventable diseases has sparked serious epidemics that also affect neighboring countries. In this article, we discuss the ongoing epidemics of measles and diphtheria in Venezuela and their disproportionate impact on indigenous populations. We also discuss the potential for reemergence of poliomyelitis and conclude that action to halt the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases within Venezuela is a matter of urgency for the country and the region. We further provide specific recommendations for addressing this crisis."

From the article: "In Venezuela, circulation of wild measles was interrupted in February 2007 after a mass vaccination campaign that followed outbreaks in 2001 and 2006 (15). However, since 2017, measles has reemerged in Venezuela, particularly within vulnerable indigenous populations, and has subsequently reached neighboring countries (Figure 1, panel A) (16). As of October 23, 2018, Venezuela had contributed 68% (5,525/8,091 cases) of the measles cases reported in the Americas and most of the measles-related deaths (73/85) (16). Genotyping of the measles virus isolated from patients from Venezuela (imported cases) in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru confirmed that the strains were genotype D8, lineage MVi/Hulu Langat.MYS/26.11 (16). The D8 genotype is associated with endemic transmission in Asia and the Pacific (17) and is the main lineage circulating currently in South America (16)."

Mueller Report

I don't care what the Mueller Report says. The Democrats, the media and the Department of Justice have done far more damage to our country than Russia could have dreamed of.

The media, in collusion with Adam Schiff and the Democrats in Congress will want the investigation to go on and on and on and on, because it brings in so much revenue when people click on or buy the ads supporting their lies. NYT, LATimes, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC, the alphabet networks and HuffPo, Vox and Big Tech may hate Trump but they love the money he brings them.

Collusion isn't a federal crime. If we had to attack every government that tried to interfere in our elections, we'd have no allies, and if the U.S. had to stop interfering in other nations' elections, we'd have no military bases on foreign soil.

I saw that Rachel Maddow had tears in her eyes in reporting this. Someone on Twitter made fun of her and lost their right to post.   I feel sorry for anyone who was depending on CNN or MSNBC for “news.” Like the Electoral College, the presumption of innocence is a fading concept for Democrats. It's just a roadblock on the way to socialism.

Pre-mow

Driving home from church this morning I heard a good tip from Ron Wilson on 610 a.m. https://ronwilson.iheart.com/ I certainly can't use it. He said today is a good day to do a "pre-mow." Set the mower down a notch and mow your yard. It will vacuum up all the crud and cut off the brown areas, making your yard look great. You won't need to mow regularly for a few more weeks, but this gives you a head start on the neighbors.

Newt Gingrich on the Mueller report, March 21

“President Donald J. Trump is right: Every American should be able to see what Robert Mueller and his team have been doing for the last two years.

As the President said on Wednesday, “Let it come out. Let people see it.”

For two years, virtually every media outlet – and every left-wing political organization – has been opining, speculating, and fantasizing over what dirt Mueller’s team of Anti-Trump lawyers could dig up on the President and his associates. Again and again, they have used the investigation as a cudgel to attack the Trump administration and rally the so-called “resistance.”

However, with each new indictment and each new case that Mueller has handed off to various district courts, it’s become increasingly apparent that the special counsel’s office has simply been using the power of the Department of Justice to conduct an inquisition on anyone in Trump’s orbit – and do whatever was necessary to gain their cooperation or put them in jail.

Retired General Michael Flynn, who had worked as Trump’s national security adviser, was interviewed by Mueller’s team for hours. They kept him talking until they could find any inconsistencies, and then they charged him with lying to federal investigators. Then, they threatened to go after his son if he didn’t sign a plea deal.

Paul Manafort’s house was raided. He was kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. The ultimate charges against him had nothing to do with his work on the Trump campaign. They were all process crimes and financial crimes related to Manafort’s previous business dealings.

With Michael Cohen, it seems Mueller just kept Cohen cycling through lies, until Mueller found the ones he liked.

Many have commented that Mueller is treating this investigation in the same way he went about taking down the Gambino crime family. Let that sink in. The special counsel’s office is treating the duly elected President of the United States and his associates as though they were a murderous, organized crime family.

This is why the report should be made public. The American people should be able to see how far Mueller and his team have been willing to levy the power of the government to torment people and extract cooperation from them – in a political investigation.

I realize that making Mueller’s report public would be a historic move on the part of Attorney General William Barr. Even the Watergate report by special prosecutor Leon Jaworski was not made public until 2018. But Mueller’s investigation has been a historic effort by the Left and the Washington Establishment to unseat a sitting U.S. President.

Of course, classified information and information that would endanger national security or human life should be excluded. Also, the names of regular people who have been unwillingly pulled into this hunting party should be left out. But the American people should see – in detail – all the lengths to which Mueller’s team went to get what they wanted. All the arm-twisting, threats, promises, and punishments – everything.

I have no doubt that the Democrats are going to cherry pick pieces of the report to serve their own purposes – and the media will gleefully amplify and echo them.

However, the American people have the right to see the investigation in full and decide for themselves whether this has been a legitimate investigation – or an inquisition carried out by bureaucrats who didn’t like the choice Americans made in 2016.”

Be cautious about that word “nonpartisan”

“The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to reform, revitalize – and when necessary, defend – our country's systems of democracy and justice.”

Obviously, not very nonpartisan.  In a publication about fighting terrorism put together by an intern, Sara Johnson, in the third paragraph we find this bigoted, inaccurate account of Trump campaign rallies.

“These concerns [about white supremacist terrorism] grew more pronounced as Donald Trump’s bigoted campaign rhetoric inspired rallies around the country in which neo-Nazis, white nationalists, proto-fascists, and far-right militias openly engaged in violence. This included beatings, stabbings, and shootings of counter-protesters and journalists, with little interference from law enforcement at the time and just a handful of belated federal prosecutions.3"  The footnote directs the reader to a PBS show and an LA Times article.  I was a librarian, and we wouldn’t have accepted those sources for a Freshman English class.

Really? No mention of people wearing MAGA hats being attacked on college campuses, in restaurants and parks?  No word about mobs shouting down conservative speakers on campus?  That isn’t terrorism when coming from Black Lives Matter or Antifa?

So I didn’t read any further.  What would be the point when Sara has concluded at the outset that Dylan Roof’s horrible crime can be blamed on President Trump, even though I’m guessing Baltimore’s high murder rate wasn’t blamed on Barack Obama by her or anyone else at the Brennan Center.

Finding information sources

With social media giants silencing conservatives and Fox News lurching to the left, we may have to find alternate information sources. I like the Canadians like Jordan Peterson, Janice Fiamengo, Gad Saad, and talkers like David Rubin, Candace Owens, PragerU, Turning Point USA, Lowder with Crowder, Lionel Nation, Matt Walsh, Hugh Hewitt, Larry Elder, Sebastian Gorka. But all these can go away in a minute, with a change in ownership, or pressure from the socialist mafia.

Also listened to a new podcast, Red Pilled America. Excellent information, in depth reporting and heartfelt opinion. https://redpilledamerica.com/blog/episode-18/  "Silicon Valley monopolies have taken control of the digital public square and censoring voices based on their belief systems. And if you think the government has nothing to do with this censorship, you are mistaken. Twitter recently admitted that politicians from both sides of the aisle want Big Tech to police our behavior."

Why do Blacks vote overwhelmingly for Democrats? https://redpilledamerica.com/blog/demo-home/episode-2-remix/

Fox at 3 p.m. was always liberal land--Shep--so today I turned on Newsmax while I was changing the bed.  Pretty good.  Howie Carr.  Not sure who his sidekicks are.  I'm also thinking of re-subscribing to Glenn Beck.  His media empire has expanded. https://www.newsmaxtv.com/Shows/The-Howie-Carr-Show


Democrats are serious about destroying the Electoral College

Our "Founding Fathers went to great lengths to ensure that we were a REPUBLIC and not a DEMOCRACY. In fact, the word democracy does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or any other of our founding documents."

https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/article/why-we-are-republic-not-democracy?

“In Federalist Paper No. 10, James Madison wanted to prevent rule by majority faction, saying, “Measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Edmund Randolph said, “That in tracing these evils to their origin, every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy.”

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

The Founders expressed contempt for the tyranny of majority rule, and throughout our Constitution, they placed impediments to that tyranny. Two houses of Congress pose one obstacle to majority rule. That is, 51 senators can block the wishes of 435 representatives and 49 senators.”

First it was the KKK, then Jim Crow, and now the Democrats have another way to disenfranchise southern Blacks and rural whites--destroy the Electoral College so the only votes that matter are the major metropolitan areas on the west coast and east coast. Do you really think Mississippi or Alabama or Idaho or Wyoming will ever see a candidate for President if Democrats are successful in their diabolical scheme?

What's going on at Fox?

What's going on at Fox? Soft on Muslim radicals and soft on Democrat crime. I don't know the details, but it doesn't look good for all the media to be left of center. I think that's called collusion--or just crony capitalism. Comment from a Facebook site—I didn’t write this and haven’t checked for errors:

"Judge Jeanine Pirro and “New Fox.”

Ya want to know what’s going on with Judge Jeanine Pirro? Fox News won’t tell you, but I will. There’s no joy in Mudville.

Disney is buying the 21st Century Fox movie studio assets. Fox Corp., begins trading as a standalone company Tuesday, 3/19/19, after a spinoff from 21st Century Fox. The “new Fox” holds TV assets including Fox News, the Fox broadcast network and television stations, and Fox Sports.

The new company has named directors to its Board, including Paul Ryan, former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, to its board. That sucks, in my opinion. It’s no wonder that Fox is giving grief to Judge Jeanine Pirro. The company has also named Roland Hernandez as a director. Mr. Hernandez was previously chief executive of Telemundo Group Inc. Who’s next: Meghan McCain?

Fox News’ treatment of Judge Jeanine Pirro is inexcusable. But remember this. IF YOU QUIT WATCHING FOX NEWS, THE LEFT WINS. The Commiecrats would like nothing better than that we stop watching Fox News. True story."

Fox News leads all the other networks. The stockholders have made millions from a network that occasionally promotes a conservative viewpoint with opinion shows. CNN viewership is pitiful—it’s opinion is in the news--but it's all Europe gets. We don't need another liberal/socialist/lapdog like the other media. Fox already had 3-4 liberal rip and read folks that caused us to hit mute. Now Donna Brazile? The so called "political analyst" for the Democrat party who threw the nomination to Hillary? Commenting on Omar [which the judge did], who regularly disses the President and hates Israel, is a more serious sin than throwing Bernie under the bus and cheating the CNN viewers?

So why would I want to continue watching Fox? All social media is clamping down on conservatives—but there are still a few out there.

How testosterone affects girls in-utero

A boy’s testosterone levels in the womb may affect the adult life of his twin sister, according to a study published yesterday (March 18) in PNAS. I expected a completely different result from in-utero effects of testosterone on females.

https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2019/03/14/1812786116?

Abstract:

During sensitive periods in utero, gonadal steroids help organize biological sex differences in humans and other mammals. In litter-bearing species, chromosomal females passively exposed to prenatal testosterone from male littermates exhibit altered physical and behavioral traits as adults. The consequences of such effects are less well understood in humans, but recent near-doubling of twinning rates in many countries since 1980, secondary to advanced maternal age and increased reliance on in vitro fertilization, means that an increasing subset of females in many populations may be exposed to prenatal testosterone from their male co-twin. Here we use data on all births in Norway (n = 728,842, including 13,800 twins) between 1967 and 1978 to show that females exposed in utero to a male co-twin have a decreased probability of graduating from high school (15.2%), completing college (3.9%), and being married (11.7%), and have lower fertility (5.8%) and life-cycle earnings (8.6%). These relationships remain unchanged among the subsets of 583 and 239 females whose male co-twin died during the first postnatal year and first 28 days of life, respectively, supporting the interpretation that they are due primarily to prenatal exposure rather than to postnatal socialization effects of being raised with a male sibling. Our findings provide empirical evidence, using objectively measured nation-level data, that human females exposed prenatally to a male co-twin experience long-term changes in marriage, fertility, and human capital. These findings support the hypothesis of in utero testosterone transfer between twins, which is likely affecting a small but growing subset of females worldwide.

Wild in the Streets is the script for 2020

https://youtu.be/vcUv4dAiCkA Wild in the Streets (1968)--what the 2020 candidates grew up with--"we're 52% and we control the economy". A low budget satire--the 2020 candidates are using the script. Of course, then the issue was 18 year olds can vote--Max wants more. "Give us the vote at 14." What better way to control the next generation than to let them vote you in?

Sally (Diane Varsi who died at 54)  is the AOC of 1968. Max says he doesn't want to live to be 30, but he (Christopher Jones) made it to 72. Gave up films to become an artist.

What do Democrats want?

Democrats want to destroy the Electoral College so deplorables, middle America and fly-over country will just go away and let California and New York run things. Kill babies, remove borders, let 16 year olds, illegals, and felons vote, pay reparations, take away your cars and cows, grab your guns, pack the Supreme Court, buy off the college coaches and presidents, and as all the 2020 candidates say, "return to our core values."

Michael Smith, guest blogger on the wokeness race for the White House.

This is an important read--the Democrats are about identity--and don't you believe you don't need an ID to be acceptable. They care only about the color of your skin and your sex. They only care about your wealth and religion if they need a third or fourth category to separate you from the herd.

Michael Smith, whom I know through Facebook and blogging, has handicapped the Democrats on their road to wokeness.  Interesting--some of these folks I've never heard of, especially his winner.

"I thought I would try to handicap the Democrat Presidential Olympics in their current state – if the Democrats lived up to their progressive Wokeness rulebook:

Beto, Booker and Sanders have all announced they would select a female running mate (well, Sanders actually said “other gendered”, so we don’t really know who or what he will pick) – but isn’t that a disqualifier coming from a cis-gendered white male? Shouldn’t these candidates step aside for a woman?

Anyway, Booker is the only one who might get a pass because Beto and old “Three Dachas” Bernie are cis-gendered, rich, white males and as King Arthur said about the number 5, they are “right out.”

What about the other honkies?

Bland Biden is about as pasty as they come – he checks none of the boxes for wokeness. Neither do Hickenlooper, Inslee, Delaney or Weld. All white, all cis-gendered and all rich. In the annals of wokism, none are as unworthy as Emo Beto, Three Dachas Bernie, Bland Biden, Loopy Hickenlooper, Comrade Inslee, John “Who” Delaney, and CBD Oil Bill (Gary “Weed” Johnson’s running mate the last time this circus came to town).

Three strikes for all – white, male, and rich.

Then there is Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Dude is gay – but also white and privileged (Harvard – BA in history and literature and as Oxford man, a Rhodes Scholar) – and that cancels out his honorable military service. I don’t know if he identifies as a top or a bottom and while his gayness gains him points over the other white candidates, he still is white. Unless he does a Rachel Dolezal or Talcum X, he’s toast as well based on the Rules of Wokeness.

The slogan for the Donks is Democrats2020 – No White Dudes (not even a gay white dude).

Then you have a few male, cis-gendered racial/ethnocentric candidates.

Andrew Yang is out because he is rich, Ivy League privileged (Brown, Harvard Law) but blacks are on a higher rung than Asians on the Ladder of Woke, he’s done.

Julian Castro is also out because while Hispanics outrank Asians, they still don’t rank as high as blacks – plus, he is also a cis-gendered (as far as we know) dude. He also has an identical twin, so there would always be a fear of he and his brother doing a “Dave” and taking turns in the Oval Office.
For black dudes, we have Booker and Wayne Messam, the mayor of Miramar, Florida. Booker might identify differently (his imaginary friend T-Bone might have been his boyfriend) but for now, he is cis-gendered according to his beard, Rosario Dawson, and unless that changes, he is still male and as mentioned before, the Rules state he must step aside for a woman.

Nobody has heard from Messam since he was a third string wide receiver for Florida State back in the early 90’s but playing a cis-gendered sport like football and attending college in Florida isn’t going to help.

Now for the Democrat Womenses:

Gillibrand is so painfully white she is transparent and flops around like a fish on a hot dock.

Kloubachar is white, bitchy and mean.

Warren is a real white communist and a fake Indian.

Marianne Williamson is a white, new age religionist who studied theater and philosophy for two years at Pomona College in California.

Sounds like the cast of Mean Girls. The cast is right out.
That leaves Kamala "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" Harris and the K-Bar Surfer Chick Tulsi Gabbard.

Unlike Warren, Kamala Harris is a real Indian and a POC (Person of Color). Her parents are Jamaican and Tamil Indian – but Kamala is also Willie Brown’s crazy ex-girlfriend, sleeping her way to the top of the California government. She prosecuted people as AG for things she now supports, so even though she is a real POC, she comes off as a real POS. She’s out as well.

Gabbard is multi-ethnic, multicultural and multi-religious. So much multi for one woman. Her father is of Samoan and European ancestry and an active lector at his Catholic church. Her mother, who was born in Decatur, Indiana, is of German descent and a practicing Hindu. Gabbard herself chose Hinduism. She took her oath of office on the Bhagavad Gita in 2013 and describes herself as a karma yogi. She is also a Major in the Army National Guard and she also seems to have a little common sense, a wish to work across the aisle and supports some policies that are almost libertarian. Gabbard is half Haight-Ashbury and half Military Industrial Complex. For Democrats, that’s going to cancel out all the “multi” in her background.

Out of all the Dem candidates, I think Gabbard would give Trump the most trouble.

Conclusion:

By the current rules, Gabbard should be the pick for the Democrats – but she won’t be. They will pick Biden because the Democrats are just as fake as their candidates. They believe Biden has the best chance to win and while Gabbard might be his VP pick, they will go with the rich, white, establishment dude in the end.”

What stresses millennials?

If you look up “millennials + stress” you'll see some charts and graphs and a few ideas on how to handle stress, but not much on what is causing the stress. Limbaugh read a list today, which I found so vacuous and funny, I had to check and see if it was a real survey. Well, you still don't know about things published as "a study," or "research,' but here's the list--I looked it up--supposedly, someone asked them. I surely would have guessed losing a smart phone would be #1. They don't breathe without them. Notice how much is digital--perhaps they need to go off the grid now to prepared for the New Green Deal, which will necessarily also have to eliminate the phones. Don't know why choosing what to wear would even be on the list--how hard is it to pick out a pair of jeans? And shouldn't school loan payments be higher, like maybe #2 or #3? https://www.studyfinds.org/survey-millennials-life-more-stressful-than-ever-before/.

Here are the top 20 stressful scenarios reported by millennials:

1. Losing wallet/credit card

2. Arguing with partner

3. Commute/traffic delays

4. Losing phone

5. Arriving late to work

6. Slow WiFi

7. Phone battery dying

8. Forgetting passwords

9. Credit card fraud

10. Forgetting phone charger

11. Losing/misplacing keys

12. Paying bills

13. Job interviews

14. Phone screen breaking

15. Credit card bills

16. Check engine light coming on

17. School loan payments

18. Job security

19. Choosing what to wear

20. Washing dishes

Hens in the Fox house

Rep. Omar is a Muslim, a Somali immigrant refugee given a home here in the U.S. Her religion has declared that Israel needs to be wiped off the globe. Israel is a U.S. ally. She has said hateful things about Jews. Somehow, the Democrats have managed yet once again, with the help of the media to make her an innocent, and Fox in a panic that they are in top place in the ratings (fear of success?), thinks it needs to remove Judge Jeannine from her popular show for telling the truth about Omar. We live in strange times.

This has been a horrific month for Democrats so far by guest blogger Brian

    • Jussie Smollett indicted on 16 felony counts.
    • Ilhan Omar sanctioned for anti-Semitism.
    • Mueller team falling apart.
    • Dozens of Democrat donors indicted for college admissions bribery scheme.
    • AOC investigated for campaign finance fraud.
    • Manafort receives light sentence for crimes having nothing to do with Trump and NO collusion.
    • Wall being built and national emergency stands, in spite of obstruction from both parties.
    • The Governor of Virginia's old yearbook reveals him in blackface after he announces he's in favor of terminating live babies after birth.
    • CNN and Washington Post sued for $250 million for defamation by Covington Catholic kids.
    • Cohen falls apart on the stand.
    • Avenatti loses everything and Judge tosses Stormy's lawsuit.
    • New Mexico compound Islamic extremists charged with terrorism.
    • Kirsten Gillibrand outed for protecting a male aide who was abusing her female staff.
    • Texts show Michelle Obama tried to intervene in Jussie Smollett case.
    • Declassified transcripts of testimony from Lisa Page show Obama obstructed justice in Clinton probe.
    • Transcripts from Bruce Ohr show Fusion GPS committed perjury
    • FBI wrongly investigated the NRA based on a fake Russia story.
    • Transcripts from Peter Strzok show Mueller knew of Strzok's plan to take down the President & said nothing.
    • Counties all over the U.S. are defying Democrat attempts at gun control with their own "gun sanctuaries."
    • Polls show Trump is making HUGE strides with the black & Hispanic communities due to policies that are putting people back to WORK and giving them real hope.
    • Instagram (owned by Facebook) is caught removing & censoring Donald Trump Jr.'s posts.
    • Facebook is caught removing & censoring Zero Hedge posts.
    • A team comes to Minnesota to investigate Ilhan Omar's marriage to her brother for immigration fraud.
    • Feds begin criminal investigation into Facebook for data sharing practices with Apple, Microsoft and more
    • Two senior Facebook executives mysteriously leave while Facebook goes dark for a day.

So what happens? John Podesta, the Clinton/Obama long-time fixer, goes to New Zealand a week ago for a "Progressive Conference," leaves and, suddenly, a mass shooting happens at a New Zealand Mosque in a country with some of the strictest gun laws. The right wing "white supremacist" shooter live streams it on Facebook, blames black conservative Candace Owens and writes a manifesto that sounds like something Christopher Steele or Jussie Smollett would write. Immediately, Twitter is filled with left-wing pundits blaming Donald Trump for Islamophobia and calling for gun control.

49 people are murdered so that we look the other way. Sick. This is what they do. Every. Single. Time.

Catching up with CBS

Listening to CBS News this morning I hear they are still blaming Trump for New Zealand. Big worry about "white supremacists." Nothing about all the Christian churches, Jewish Temples and Islamic Mosques attacked or bombed by Islamists in the past year. Everything is about Trump since 2016--the media just bump, grind and strip on this false narrative, pushing up his poll numbers. There was a big bombing of a Catholic Cathedral in the Philippines on January 29—did you hear about it?  I just noticed it in a social media post yesterday.  Don’t recall prayers for them from our pulpit as we did for New Zealand.  And in early March, it was Christians in Nigeria.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/20-dead-111-hurt-in-jan-29-bombing-at-catholic-cathedral-in-philippines-1.4270952?

I rarely watch 60 Minutes (CBS)., but last night saw J.D. Vance (Hillbilly Elegy) of Columbus talking about the lack of venture capital in areas beyond the coast. At first (2016) the liberals loved Vance--talked about him sort like a cute pet--but a quick glance at newer reports I see they are back to hating common sense, believing someone who actually was poor and knows the system, and who used his grandparents' love (changed his name to theirs) and his own determination to pull himself out of poverty. The Left just doesn't like anyone who leaves the government run plantation.

A tippy stool

The Democrat party has a 3 legged stool--media, entertainment, and academe--on which all its socialist, leftist, feminist, Marxist, destroy-western-civ theories are built . The #MeToo movement damaged the left-leaning entertainment industry, the news media embarrass themselves daily with their anti-Bush, anti-Trump, anti-Reagan fake news stories, and now the corruption is exposed in the elite schools who have been ridiculing the hoi polloi (masses, deplorables) on the one hand and taking bribes with the other. And we still have politicians in Congress and running for 2020 who claim it will all be fixed with more government!
