Keep in mind we have the lowest unemployment rate(s) on all demographic levels than we’ve had in a very long time. And the economy is booming and growing daily, including a great environment for new and expanding businesses. However, according to Kristen, it is something you desperately need to end and change by voting for her…

● Baristas to Beto: Get off the countertops.I’m hope you’re sitting down for this last item:
● O’Rourke rocked by major scandal: He once supported basic fiscal responsibility.

If 2016 was any indication, that’s the one that will doom O’Rourke among Democrat voters.

I’m sorry but Sen. John McCain’s death does not remove his guilt concerning the Trump dossier and his attempts to interfere with a presidential election that he left behind, and it must be addressed. McCain, to his grave and wvwn now apparently, was/is the leftist MSM’s flunky/stooge/tool. This is not ‘pissing on his grave’. There is a lingering very important issue in John McCain’s involvement in trying to sabotage Trump’s campaign and presidency…

Liz Sheld: When is it time to have a national conversation about John McCain?

The media elites and Republican establishment are in a tizzy because President Trump continues to hit one of their political sacred cows: John McCain. These clowns loved John McCain because he was a “moderate,” he actively pursued the holy globalist agenda and could always be counted on to publicly knee-cap the “deplorables” and the hateful tea party-types. There was a brief time, during McCain’s presidential campaign, when he fell out of favor and the cool kids called him all the names they call us, sexist/racist etc., but all was good when Obama was safely in office. He was back at the popular kids table in the lunch room.

Recently, information has surfaced that McCain was an active participant in the coup against Trump. McCain and his associates were actively circulating a compilation of gossip and RUSSIAN-generated disinformation, alleging Trump and some of his associates were compromised and working for the RUSSIANS. McCain was promoting the idea that Trump was committing espionage. ESPIONAGE. This was after Trump won the election. He was the president-elect. McCain was trying to overthrow the president.

Now, these media and establishment conspiracy theorists have the vapors because Trump is a little pissed off and is fighting back. Can you blame him? We are scolded that we are not to speak ill of the dead. Since when? Less than two weeks ago, AOC (Chiquita Kruschev) called Ronald Reagan a racist. I didn’t hear a peep about not speaking ill of the dead after that, did you?

“A perfect example of how special interests and the powerful have pitted white working class Americans against brown and black working class Americans is Reaganism in the ’80s when he started talking about welfare queens,” Ocasio-Cortez said in Austin, Texas. (The welfare queen he was talking about was white, but whatever.)

Why are people being shushed and bullied out of talking about McCain’s actions? I’m not denigrating his service to his country but does that give him a free pass on anything else he has ever done that influences our political industry?

Amen, Liz. But don’t you love how the lefty Regan kids rear their irrelevant heads at times like these to speak for their father…

Ricochet: Who Speaks for the Dead?

When is it safe to speak for the dead? And exactly who gets to do it?

Patti Davis, who was never on the same page as her late father, Ronald Reagan, made a pronouncement the other day on how her father would have felt about Donald Trump. Ron, Jr. has done the same in the past and his eldest son, Michael, has chimed in, too.

Of the three, Michael is more politically aligned with his father. But even then, Ronald Reagan’s world basically ended in November of 1994 when he announced that Alzheimer’s had begun to ravish his mind. Saying he would be appalled at Trump’s crassness is one thing, of course, saying that he would endorse certain policy views is another…

Others are now seeing that exact formula. But how far off are we from those deadly ‘hunger games’…

Chicago Trib: Democrats want end to Electoral College. Is it idiocracy or a rush to the ‘Hunger Games’

Rush Limbaugh: Democrats Can’t Win Without Gaming the Constitution

Explain it to the dodo-masses, fellas…

This is exactly why we have the Electoral College in our presidential elections, and not the disastrous ‘popular vote’, i.e., mob rule. THESE people would be dictating policies, laws, and government power to the rest of our nation (HT: AoSHQ for the picture)…

“Read the Whole Thing”: It Was All An Elaborate Plan That Continues To This Day…

Posted by Maggie on March 20, 2019 in From the editors

Every element of the dirty dossier to the Obama DOJ spying on the Trump Campaign to the Mueller investigation to the ongoing MSM spinning of the lies has been bought, paid for and delivered….

Paul Sperry: Trump-Russia 2.0: Dossier-Tied Firm Pitching Journalists Daily on ‘Collusion’

Key Democratic operatives and private investigators who tried to derail Donald Trump’s campaign by claiming he was a tool of the Kremlin have rebooted their operation since his election with a multimillion-dollar stealth campaign to persuade major media outlets and lawmakers that the president should be impeached.

The effort has successfully placed a series of questionable stories alleging secret back channels and meetings between Trump associates and Russian spies, while influencing related investigations and reports from Congress.

The operation’s nerve center is a Washington-based nonprofit called The Democracy Integrity Project, or TDIP. Among other activities, it pumps out daily “research” briefings to prominent Washington journalists, as well as congressional staffers, to keep the Russia “collusion” narrative alive.

TDIP is led by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator, Clinton administration volunteer and top staffer to California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. It employs the key opposition-research figures behind the salacious and unverified dossier: Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. Its financial backers include the actor/director Rob Reiner and billionaire activist George Soros.

The project’s work has been largely shrouded in mystery. But a months-long examination by RealClearInvestigations, drawn from documents and more than a dozen interviews, found that the organization is running an elaborate media-influence operation that includes driving and shaping daily coverage of the Russia collusion theory, as well as pushing stories about Trump in the national media that attempt to tie the president or his associates to the Kremlin.

The group also feeds information to FBI and congressional investigators, and then tells reporters that authorities are investigating those leads. The tactic adds credibility to TDIP’s pitches, luring big media outlets to bite on stories. It mirrors the strategy federal authorities themselves deployed to secure FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign: citing published news reports of investigative details their informants had leaked to the media to bolster their wiretap requests.

Five days a week, TDIP emails a newsletter to influential Democrats and prominent Beltway journalists under the heading “TDIP Research” – which summarizes the latest “collusion” news, and offers “points of interest” to inspire fresh stories regarding President Trump’s alleged ties to Moscow.

Recipients of the TDIP reports include staffers at the New York Times and Washington Post and investigative reporters at BuzzFeed, ProPublica and McClatchy, as well as news producers at CNN and MSNBC, according to a source familiar with the project’s email distribution list. Democratic aides on Capitol Hill also subscribe to the newsletter.

The briefings typically run several pages and include an “Executive Summary” and links to court documents and congressional testimony, letters and memos, as well as new articles and videos…

Weekend Reads: Some Cereal Flavors Should Never Happen

Posted by Maggie on March 16, 2019 in From the editors

This article highlights social media as a source of “iGen” mental health crisis problems. I say it is merely the tool by which worse influences are contributing to their new angst.

They have grown up in a society that had adopted ‘knee-jerk-reaction’ as a perfectly fine way of dealing with life. Critical thinking has pretty much been banned, and versions of it deemed ‘racist/phobic/etc’.

They’ve been conditioned to personalize every damn thing. Whenever something happens they run to see what their favorite celebrities are saying about it (on social media, yes) and the screwed-up propagandist MSM and then act/think according to what those entities think/say. These ‘youth’ are unable to think for themselves, apparently. I mean, look at what a lot of them sign on for (and go into student loan debt for) in college.

Ridiculous vague and made up courses based in nothing but trying to persuade what and how you think about whatever. They need to think for themselves. Get off your electronic devices and live for the day. How about a college course in ‘thinking for yourself’? They base nothing they think or believe in anything weighted with ALL the facts/info so that they can come to their own conclusions. When you’re like that it’s far more easy to be controlled and led by anything, especially somebody else’s views/opinions.

For example…
Keep in mind when Trump won in 2016 the first thing we heard was the liberals promoting disappointed/devastated Hillary voters were now seeking mental health help via doctors and antidepressants to cope with the political loss. *face-palm* I’ll be the first to admit I cringed and growled through Obama’s 8 years, but I got on with a productive life, controlled my own thoughts and did it without help from a psychiatrist or mood/depression/anxiety meds. But in today’s toxic political and ideological climate they are told they need to be outraged and resist and by any means necessary. They are told to disrupt, get in their faces, and silence opposing views, not to listen to and then intellectually debate, because anyone not thinking or viewing the way they do “are not welcome here” (Maxine Waters) They are told to lead with their feelings, and to gauge everything on the basis of how it makes them feel. This is extremely irrational. And so, when their ‘feelings-invested’ 2016 presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost the election they were told it had been stolen. No facts. No proof. The age group the author is discussing is also being given insane mixed messages on sex, sexual orientation, gender orientation(s), what is ‘shared cultures’ and what is ‘cultural appropriation’, and that the world is going to basically end because of ‘climate change’. Calling things ‘racist’ that have nothing to do with race. Blaming everything on “white male patriarchy/privilege” while casting off your own individual personal responsibility, logic and reasoning based in facts, not emotion … especially hate.

This is a generation of self-made victims. You simply cannot deal with life if all you have to go on is your feelings. Period.

The Conversation: The mental health crisis among America’s youth is real – and staggering

From 2009 to 2017, major depression among 20- to 21-year-olds more than doubled, rising from 7 percent to 15 percent. Depression surged 69 percent among 16- to 17-year-olds. Serious psychological distress, which includes feelings of anxiety and hopelessness, jumped 71 percent among 18- to 25-year-olds from 2008 to 2017. Twice as many 22- to 23-year-olds attempted suicide in 2017 compared with 2008, and 55 percent more had suicidal thoughts. The increases were more pronounced among girls and young women. By 2017, one out of five 12- to 17-year-old girls had experienced major depression in the previous year.

Is it possible that young people simply became more willing to admit to mental health problems? My co-authors and I tried to address this possibility by analyzing data on actual suicide rates collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Suicide is a behavior, so changes in suicide rates can’t be caused by more willingness to admit to issues.

Tragically, suicide also jumped during the period. For example, the suicide rate among 18- to 19-year-olds climbed 56 percent from 2008 to 2017. Other behaviors related to depression have also increased, including emergency department admissions for self-harm, such as cutting, as well as hospital admissions for suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts.

The large increases in mental health issues in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health appeared almost exclusively among teens and young adults, with less change among Americans ages 26 and over. Even after statistically controlling for the influences of age and year, we found that depression, distress and suicidal thoughts were much higher among those born in the mid- to late-1990s, the generation I call iGen.

Given the current “Varsity Blues” scandal let me repeat: Not everyone should go to college! I have left cringing whenever I hear ‘everyone who wants to go to college should be able to … and it should be free’ from democrat candidate, to shouting back at the TV my repeated statement. We need people trained in skills they have a knack for … carpenters, plumbers, electricians, mechanics, bakers, cooks, fast-food managers who have worked their way up from the order counter, pet groomers. It is endless…

PM: The State of American Trade Schools – Trade and technical schools are being praised and promoted by the Department of Education, corporate America, and industry associations. How well is the system working?

This is a golden time for postsecondary trade and tech schools. Not just because they’re becoming more profitable than ever. But because, at least according to some, they’re finally shaking off the stigma that has dogged their students, instructors, and administrators for so long. Over the past year, media from The Wall Street Journal to PBS have hailed technology schools and programs as harbingers of a new economy and reformers of a postsecondary education system that’s become over-priced, over-valued, and often irrelevant.

Statistics are a big part of the story. Between 1988 and 2018, the cost of a four-year college degree increased by 213 percent at public schools and 129 percent at private schools. Over the same period, wages for most Americans remained stagnant. Meanwhile, unemployment rates among young college graduates have grown from 4.3 percent in 2000 to 5.6 percent in 2017. Young male college graduates have been particularly hard hit. Their unemployment rate spiked from 4.1 percent in 2000 to 7.1 percent in 2017. At the same time, a scarcity of skilled workers has led to a nationwide labor shortage that’s resulted in increased wages for a number of blue-collar occupations. The lesson for many is obvious.

Thank goodness…

Science Alert: That Death Metal Lover in Your Office Isn’t Desensitised to Violence, Study Shows

According to new research by psychologists from Macquarie University in Australia, death metal isn’t a demonic influence – even if its themes are concerned with little else.

In an experiment with 80 people, the researchers wanted to investigate whether death metal and heavy metal fans would be desensitised to the violent subject matter of the music they listen to – a common concern about violence in other forms of pop culture, such as video games and cinema.

“It is suggested that long-term exposure to violent media may decrease sensitivity to depictions of violence,” the team explains in a new paper.
“However, it is unknown whether persistent exposure to music with violent themes affects implicit violent imagery processing.”

To investigate, the researchers used a technique called binocular rivalry, which tests for perceptual dominance when two different images are shown to a viewer at the same time, each one being displayed to a different eye.

[…]

In the study, the team recruited 32 fans of death metal and heavy metal, along with 48 non-fans, and tested them with a binocular rivalry experiment, which showed them violent and neutral images simultaneously while they listened to music…

Tower of Babel is Eating Children

Posted by Maggie on March 15, 2019 in From the editors

Tomorrow the indentured ‘climate change’ child servants are striking because the adults are not buying all the socialist/communist/fascist shit the climate change cult is selling. So, they must now terrify and use the children to make their displays of ass-holiness in public.

DC: Inside The Online Community Facilitating The Gender Transitions Of 5-Year-Olds

Yes, there are actually parents who are dumbfounded and confused when their five-year-old children don’t take to wearing fake penises, or tucking their real ones.

A watchdog group called 4thWaveNow is raising awareness online about “the ever-accelerating medical and media fascination with the phenomenon of ‘transgender children.’” This week, the group released screenshots from a private Facebook group called Parents of Transgender Children, which expose multiple conversations surrounding the practices of “packing“ and “tucking“ for supposedly transgender children as young as five years old.

Some conversations involve parents expressing confusion at their child’s lack of interest in prosthetic penises.

“My kid doesn’t seem that miffed about not having a penis, which frankly throws me off a bit,” one reads.

Others simply ask for recommendations for the best “age appropriate” fake penises for their young children, as well as for “stand-to-pee” (STP) devices.

“The peeing upright is more important than the bulge for my [six]-year-old,” reads another.

Jesus Christ Almighty, save us!

Enter The Sandmann and His Lawyer…

Posted by Maggie on March 14, 2019 in From the editors

Nancy Pelosi/democrats/liberals/MSM pushing for lowering the voting age to 16yrs old…

“Capture”?? How/Where, Nancy? In cages?

I’m pretty sure the MAGA wearing Covington Catholic kids who were defamed and demonized would love to go along with that. If the left in this country thinks all the kids in high school are ‘progressive’/socialist pea-brains, think again.
I would wager it’s probably pretty much a 50-50 political divide with them as well.
Anyhow, I hope Sandmann’s lawsuits prevail as harshly as they can. This Orwellian media bullshit has gone on long enough.
