The Resistance is Everything They Accuse Trump of Being

The Resistance is Everything They Accuse Trump of Being:

Image result for flickr commons images president trumpThe defining characteristic of today’s Democrats is that most unattractive of human failings, hypocrisy.  Since Donald Trump’s improbable election, Dems and their media mouthpieces have been demanding that the rest of us recognize the existential threat he poses to the nation.  Their demands are based on a litany of accused authoritarian character traits and fascistic conduct that Trump obviously doesn’t hold and in fact never committed.  The reality is the Democrats are projecting -- accusing Trump of the very outrages that they themselves practiced in their obsession to prevent and then overturn his election.

As part of her work, she noticed some odd things on various accounts.
For example, one of the company’s engineers, Danny Ben David, had created an item called “actiondeboostlivedistribution” and was attaching it to accounts belonging to conservatives.
The insider said the obvious intent was to prevent distribution of that particular page or video.
It was one of the “methods of suppression,” she said.
It was done by disabling routine features on the page such as notifications.

Pinkerton: Why the People’s Republic of China Fears Religion�:

Image result for wikicommons images Christian SymbolsPerhaps that’s what the Chinese government fears most: the sort of spiritual and psychological transformation that undid Soviet communism.  Yes, the Beijing government possesses many tools of tyranny, including its new social credit system.  And yet no tool that the communists possess can get inside the human soul.   Thus the godless authoritarians—by turns, cruel toward their people and fearful of the future—are left to rage.
In the meantime, the faithful of all faiths, knowing that their greatest power is hidden in their own souls, might prayerfully hope that better days will come to China.

Democratic Primary & Reparations: Not Serious Project | National Review

Democratic Primary & Reparations: Not Serious Project | National Review:

Image result for flickr commons images Kamala HarrisOne group of Democrats proposes something daffy, vague, and impractical, and another group of Democrats says, “Of course that’s daffy, vague, and impractical — but at least they started a conversation!” This is said in the tone kindergarten teachers use with toddlers who test the maxim that there is no such thing as a dumb question. It’s something to see: a political party condescending to itself.
None of the Democratic 2020 contenders currently talking up reparations for slavery is serious about the project. Those of them who are serious about anything are serious only about winning the party’s nomination and the role that flattering a small but influential congregation of left-wing intellectuals might play in that.

We need to engage in this debate. We need to engage in this debate. We need to take them on, or we’re going to lose this country.”

Democrats just went on record as pro-infanticide.
Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion mill, quickly came out to spin the ghoulish optics for Democrats, chalking up the no-vote as a “win” for women.
Planned Parenthood Action Fund and the abortion company’s leader, Leana Wen, issued tweets suggesting there is no such thing as born-alive survivors of abortions or even late-term abortions.
“There is no such thing as abortion until or after birth,” reads the Planned Parenthood tweet.

Liberal tech billionaire funded fake-news software - WND

Liberal tech billionaire funded fake-news software - WND:

Image result for free clip art Fake NewsA liberal billionaire who allegedly backed a misinformation campaign against Roy Moore has helped fund the development of software capable of creating “deepfake” news articles.
Reid Hoffman, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and Democratic donor, has greatly increased his financial contributions to the artificial intelligence research group OpenAI, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.
OpenAI has published software called GT2, which is capable of generating news stories from two sentences that look like the real thing, dubbed “deepfake” articles.
In 2017, groups financed by Hoffman, New Knowledge and American Engagement Technologies, allegedly used social media to undermine support for Republican Roy Moore’s U.S. Senate campaign in Alabama. Moore, who had held a sizable lead in polling, lost narrowly to Democrat Doug Jones, who has called for an investigation of the scheme.

Privacy group urges feds to force Google to dump Nest - WND

Privacy group urges feds to force Google to dump Nest - WND:

Image result for flickr commons images google logoA privacy group that had opposed Google’s acquisition of Nest is urging the Federal Trade Commission to force Google to divest of the company after hidden microphones were discovered in Nest’s home security and alarm system.
Business Insider reported consumers had not been informed of the microphones in Nest Secure, which linked to the Google “Assistant” artificial intelligence-powered device.
Google, in a statement, acknowledged the “error” and said “the on-device microphone was never intended to be a secret and should have been listed in the tech specs.”
Nest Guard is the alarm, keypad and motion-sensor component of the Nest Secure system offering.
Google claimed the microphone “was originally included in the Nest Guard for the possibility of adding new security features down the line, like the ability to detect broken glass.”
“Still, even if Google included the microphone in its Nest Guard device for future updates – like its Assistant integration – the news comes as consumers have grown increasingly wary of major tech companies and their commitment to consumer privacy,” the report said.
It’s not the first time Google has confessed to a major privacy invasion.

Zuckerberg's 'obfuscatese' means more support for blasphemy laws - WND

Zuckerberg's 'obfuscatese' means more support for blasphemy laws - WND:

Image result for flickr commons images facebook logoJudith Bergman, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute, writes in a commentary recent events “illustrate how Facebook – which has previously championed blasphemy laws – continues its ‘Shariah censorship’ regarding content it apparently deems contrary to its ‘Community Standards.'”
She says Zuckerberg “now appears to be more intent on censorship than ever.”
“In a recent memo, written in mind-numbing, bureaucratic obfuscatese, he described his plan to discourage ‘borderline content,’ a concept appearing to be so meaningless as to encompass anything that Zuckerberg and Facebook might ever want to censor.”
She cites Facebook and Twitter’s removal of activist Laura Loomer from their platforms. The action came after Zahra Billoo of the Council on American Islamic Relations in San Francisco complained.

“What Facebook fails to disclose is that CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing case in U.S. history. CAIR has also been designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates,” Bergman writes.
Islamist Watch’s Sam Westrop confirmed the Silicon Valley Community Foundation handed over more than $330,000 to two radical Muslim groups, including CAIR, after Zuckerberg gave upward of $1.5 billion to the SVCF.

Report: Pelosi Claims 'Epidemic of Gun Violence' as Murder Rate Falls

Report: Pelosi Claims 'Epidemic of Gun Violence' as Murder Rate Falls:

Image result for flickr commons images nancy pelosiHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is pushing the mantra of an “epidemic of gun violence” even as the overall murder rate falls.
Moreover, the decline comes as more and more Americans own and carry firearms for self-defense.
The NRA-ILA reports, “Since 1991, the murder rate has fallen by 45 percent and the overall violent crime rate has fallen by 48 percent.” The NRA-ILA’s claim squares with a Congressional Research Service (CRS) report that showed murder rates plummeting as gun ownership surged.

Fake Hate, Fake Collusion: All in the Name of Destroying the Trump Presidency

Fake Hate, Fake Collusion: All in the Name of Destroying the Trump Presidency:

Image result for flickr commons images andrew mccabeIn more ways than one, hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollet is far from alone.  He's simply the latest in a long line of unhinged leftists with evil intent bent on destroying Donald Trump's presidency.  Be it fake hate or fake collusion, for nearly three years now, Donald Trump has been the target of an unprecedented campaign meant to end his candidacy and his presidency.
After the recent revelations of former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, there should now be no doubt as to the existence of a nefarious "Deep State."  As revealed by McCabe himself in his soon to be published book, in May of 2017, angered by President Trump's firing of his boss, then–FBI director James Comey, McCabe, and his like-minded cronies at the FBI and the Justice Department foolishly plotted as to how they might invoke the 25th Amendment and remove the duly elected president from office.

Individuals on both the left and right lie. Individuals on both the left and right tell the truth. And liberalism, unlike leftism, does value truth. But the further left one goes, the more one enters the world of the lie.
Why does the left lie?
There are two main reasons.

Image result for Liberty of SpeechTwitter, Facebook, and Apple are among 107 major companies that have endorsed federal legislation that would make “misgendering” a punishable offense. Named the “Equality Act,” this bill is anything but.
State and local bureaucrats have already used similar laws and policies to derail the careers of people like high school teacher Peter Vlaming and professor Nicholas Meriwether at Shawnee State University because they referred to students according to biology and not gender ideology.
These laws give government control over our freedom to speak and think according to the truth. The Equality Act would extend that to all 50 states.

So Trump is the bad guy for wanting to construct an industrial-durable concrete and steel wall that truck terrorists, whether they're carrying human smuggling cargo --or bombs, wouldn't be able to ram through by force. And Newsom wants to stop that wall construction, even as this junk fence shows that these cartel networks are getting some expertise in doing the maneuvers.

“The Protect Life Rule does not cut family planning funding by a single dime, and instead directs tax dollars to entities that provide healthcare to women but do not perform abortions.

Psychotherapist told he can't interview transgenders who regret 'transition' - WND:

Image result for free clip art No Thinking allowedA judge in the United Kingdom has ruled that a university can reject a psychotherapist’s proposal to research why so many of his transgender patients regretted their transitions.
James Caspian contested in court Bath Spa University’s decision to block a research proposal for his Master’s degree, reported Premier, a Christian radio network in the U.K.
Lawyer Paul Diamond said Caspian had appealed a lower court’s refusal to grant judicial review of the dispute. But Judge Michael Kent in High Court agreed with the ruling.
Premier reported Caspian has worked with transgender patients for eight years and “wanted to investigate why some came to regret their transition.”
However, university staff blocked him, claiming the issue was “ethically complex” and that activists could target the university.
Caspian said “people have been telling me they’ve been harmed.”

The Greatest Scandal In the History of Science | Power Line

The Greatest Scandal In the History of Science | Power Line:

Image result for wikicommons images EarthI have written many times about the unwarranted “adjustments” to measured past temperatures by government agencies, which serve to inflate the modest warming that has occurred in recent decades. Organizations around the world (NOAA and NASA-GISS here in the U.S.) have done this over and over, usually surreptitiously. The Manhattan Contrarian shares my opinion that this misrepresentation of the historical record is the worst scandal in the history of science. The most recent instance comes from Australia:

A press blackout on news top FBI lawyer James Baker wanted Hillary Clinton prosecuted

A press blackout on news top FBI lawyer James Baker wanted Hillary Clinton prosecuted:

Image result for flickr commons images hillary clintonUp until now, Comey's "narrative" was that Clinton was "extremely careless" (not even "grossly negligent," which is actionable) and the book was closed on the matter, as Democrats brushed the whole thing off, while hackers and Russians and Chinese and terrorists got to dig into the goodies.
Clinton was supposed to be charged with mishandling classified documents, and she wasn't. Only three news sources are reporting this bombshell (I checked Google News, Yahoo! News, and DuckDuckGo): John Solomon of The Hill, Catherine Herridge of Fox News, and Sara Carter, all respectable heavyweights in investigative reporting, and their reports should easily merit news pickups.  But the nets are nowhere, the New York Times doesn't think such a revision to its "narrative" is fit to print, and the Washington Post is going to let that one die in darkness.
Shouldn't a story about favoritism be newsworthy?
The implication now is that laws are for little guys, like that Navy sailor who was prosecuted for carelessly taking a "hi, Mom"–type photo onboard a classified ship, but not for Madame Big.

More importantly, the South Koreans significantly increased their commitment to the alliance.

The U.S.-South Korea alliance now represents a more committed, formidable deterrent to North Korean aggression.
