2020 Democrats’ Progressive Plans Will Cost Taxpayers Trillions
As 2020 Democratic presidential contenders unveil their ambitious progressive platforms, one thing is very clear; if enacted, taxpayers will be on the hook for trillions of dollars, according to The Hill.
Taking the cake would be Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-VT) “Medicare for All” bill, coming in at a cost of $32 trillion during its first 10 years, or an estimated 10.7 — 12.7% of GDP, according to the Mercatus Center at George Mason University.
Candidate Jay Inslee’s “Global Climate Mobilization” plan touted by environmentalists as the “gold standard” would cost the United States $3 trillion over 10 years. The plan would see the United States rejoining the Paris Climate Accord, encouraging “climate” refugees from El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras and Nicaragua to resettle in the United States, doubling the US investment in the Global Climate Fund for green technology, and cutting fossil fuel subsidies while “implementing widespread prohibitions against financing for fossil fuel projects overseas.”

Dems Grease Domestic Terror Skids
Hostile political environment sets precedent for conflict
Recently, roughly 600 people showed up in Dayton, Ohio to protest nine Klansmen.
There was an overwhelming presence of Antifa and New Black Panther groups that riled up a crowd that the city of Dayton spent $650,000 on security for.
Again, the fascistic communist Antifa were supported by the mob, as were the New Black Panthers, who even the out of control hate map designating SPLC describes as “ ……a virulently racist and antisemitic organization whose leaders have encouraged violence against whites, Jews and law enforcement officers.”
These are the groups the Democrats support, yet how are they any different than the Klan?
They essentially share methods of hate-fueled division even if their ideologies are at odds.
And now, in a second round of a Democrat-led federal response to white supremacy, the Democrats singled out white supremacists while ignoring the very real danger to average Americans by the growing leftist mob.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are supported by full-blown, raging communism.
Since these groups that support the socialist left are violating numerous US codes, when can we expect a hearing investigating the impact of Antifa and other similar groups? [Comments: commie democrats end goal is to label all patriots and conservatives as terrorists.]

A black television anchorwoman has been allowed back to work despite her arrest for drunk driving, as bodycam footage obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com shows her mocking officers and accusing them of arresting her because of her race.
Farron Salley, morning and weekend anchor at West Palm Beach’s Channel 25 in Florida, was welcomed back after a two-month leave after her arrest on December 15, 2018.
The 28-year-old wrote a statement apologizing for her behavior towards the Palm Beach Gardens Police officers but maintained her innocence.
But hour-long bodycam footage shows Salley slurring her speech and attempting to provoke white officers with accusations of racism, seemingly to turn the traffic stop into a racial incident.

Evidence Facebook is Allowing Vile Leftist Pages to Dominate Platform While Silencing Conservatives
One month after President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, our pro-Trump, conservative news Facebook page lost an incredible 90% of our traffic.
The traffic to our 100percentfedup.com website that by design, relied primarily on Facebook, plummeted. We went from 9.3 million views in February 2017 to 1.7 million views in February 2018.
Occupy Democrats, a far-left Facebook page that’s dedicated to pushing hatred for President Trump, his family, his administration, and his supporters, has over 7.7 million “Likes” (followers) with weekly engagement numbers hovering around 40 million. Since 2015, the site has seen gained an astounding 7.2 million new followers. The owners of Occupy Democrats, Rafael, and Omar Rivero are twin brothers; they are also Mexican immigrants.
In 2017, while 100 Percent Fed Up Facebook traffic was down by 90%, the Miami New Times interviewed the Rivero brothers about their amazing success with their Occupy Democrats Facebook page, saying, “according to a recent analysis by BuzzFeed, it [Occupy Democrats] wields more influence, at least on Facebook, than virtually any other news source in America.
Rafael Rivero frequently posts vulgar images of President Trump from his “Liker” website on his personal Facebook page.

Ars Technica contributor’s alias “@DrPizza” on Twitter
A former tech blogger was arrested in an FBI sting last month after attempting to make sexual arrangements with two children, a federal complaint alleges.
Peter Bright, an Ars Technica writer who went by @DrPizza on Twitter, is accused attempting to meet two children after exchanging messages with their mother whom he met on a fetish social media site.
“On or about April 17, 2019, [an undercover FBI agent] posing as a mother of a nine-year old boy… and seven-year old girl… posted a public message on an online social media fetish platform called KinkD seeking to chat with people who are, in sum and substance, interested in teaching her children lessons about the ‘birds and the bees,” stated the FBI agent in charge of the investigation…
News of Bright’s arrest prompted a look into the left-leaning tech blogger’s Twitter history, where he pontificated on pedophilia.
In one tweet from earlier this year, @DrPizza marveled at how former BBC broadcaster Jimmy Savile was able to get away with being a pedophile for so long.

Google Can’t Dodge Conservative Employees’ Discrimination Lawsuit, Court Says
Google attempted to have the case dismissed
Google must face a class-action lawsuit brought by Republican attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon on behalf of the tech giant’s conservative employees, according to a California court.
Current and former Google employees say in a lawsuit that the company discriminates against non-progressives on the basis of their viewpoint, and against whites, Asians, and males on the basis of sex and race.
Google attempted to have the case dismissed. But a judge in California, where political discrimination is illegal, ruled against the company.
The case will now move to a legal process known as discovery — meaning that Google must provide Dhillon and other attorneys working on the case access to its internal documents.
This is potentially a huge problem for the tech giant, as previous leaks of internal documents and video have repeatedly exposed the company’s extreme political bias.

‘He Cares About Nothing’: Veterans Trash NYC Mayor De Blasio for Snubbing Heroes on D-Day
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was widely criticized by WWII veterans after the Democrat skipped all the city’s D-Day commemorative events.
Several veterans in Brooklyn and Queens lambasted the unpopular mayor for not even trying to act like he cares, especially when he’s also running for the U.S. presidency.
“He’s not a good mayor. He’s a terrible mayor. He cares about nothing,” said WWII veteran Norman Senay, of Queens. “He makes out like he cares for the people, but I don’t think he cares for the people. He’s a self-centered mayor.”…
De Blasio spokesperson said the New York mayor’s schedule conflicted with several D-Day events.
“The mayor’s team determined they could not make the event work with his schedule. The event was not brought to his attention,” a spokesperson said.
According to local media, de Blasio did manage to attend a dinner honoring Puerto Rican heritage.

In Florida, It is Now Highly Illegal to Say ‘Jews Control Hollywood’
Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida recently signed a bill which added ‘anti-Semitism’ to the list of outlawed forms of discrimination in Florida, equating it with other forms of racial discrimination, reported the Tallahassee Democrat.
The major problem many have with this bill is that the definition of Anti-semitism under this law includes everything from saying the “Jews control the media,” “Jews are more loyal to Israel than to America,” to many other questionable statements that are protected under the first amendment of the United States constitution. It is also now illegal to question the number of Jews who died in the Holocaust. No other genocide has this protection in the world.
Even though Christians are the most persecuted group of people throughout the world, for some reason DeSantis thought that signing a law that goes directly against the first amendment of the United States would be a good idea. DeSantis even signed the bill while visiting Israel, and then again in Florida upon returning from his trip.
Following the signing of the bill, many Christians have posed several important questions about this new law, namely that there are no laws against openly blaspheming Christianity or Jesus. There are also no laws against accusing all Catholics of being pedophiles and no broad words with blanket definitions like ‘Anti-semitism’ that protects Christians from the criticism they receive on a constant basis.

Local Government Seizes Countless Kids Based on Falsified Drug Test Results
For years, the county of Ozark, Alabama hired a private laboratory to analyze paternity and drug tests.
These were pretty critical tests… because the county would rely on those test results to determine whether or not to take someone’s children away from them.
It turns out that lab’s owner, Brandy Murrah, was FALSIFYING those results.
Instead of running a legitimate operation, Murrah pocketed the money, and faked the test results.
Then she forged a doctor’s signature to certify the results.
The only reason Murrah was ever caught is because an innocent woman who failed a drug test tracked down the doctor to ask him about the results.
The doctor was bewildered and said that he never saw any such test results… and the trail of fraud led right back to Brandy Murrah.
That woman says her custody battle for her children was negatively affected because of this fraudulent drug test. And she’s likely not alone.
The Department of Human Services says they believe there may have been a “tidal wave” of cases where children were taken away from their parents based on falsified test results.
Pretty extraordinary… especially given that Murrah had a criminal history of fraud. And yet she was still put in this important role that has such an enormous impact on people’s lives.

Peggy Noonan on Facebook and Google: ‘Break Them Up’
As Facebook drowns in privacy scandals censorship, investigations, conservatives are being urged to avoid working with the platform.
Wall Street Journal’s columnist Peggy Noonan wrote that Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg were using conservatives as “pawns.” In an June 6 column that eviscerated Zuckerberg as a “prince in his castle,” Noonan called for Facebook to be broken up. She said, “Break them up. Break them in two, in three; regulate them.”
She expressed frustration with conservatives who had worked with Facebook in the past. She quoted a Wired piece about the 2016 meeting between noted conservative figures and Facebook, which said, “conservatives failed to unify in a way that was threatening or coherent.”
Her own story about the meeting explained how she was invited as a “conservative activist.” When she replied that she was a columnist, she was told “That wouldn’t do.” In the summer of 2018, she was consulted again by Zuckerberg, who invited her to a meeting of conservatives in his own home. Noonan refused, saying that she found Zuckerberg to be an “imperious twerp.”

Police, FBI Arrest Man Following String of Explosions and Undetonated Devices in Northampton County
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) — Police and FBI have arrested a suspect following a string of explosions and undetonated devices in Washington Township, Northampton County. Washington Township police say Jason Muzzicato was arrested at his home on Friday morning.
A second search warrant was also conducted at his Bangor Motor Works business.

‘I don’t need to hear from other white men, thank you very much.’
Among those relatives is Siobhan’s uncle, Paul Prigent, 74, a retired production manager, and his wife Janet, who live in the village of Barton-under-Needwood in Staffordshire. Siobhan used to spend school holidays with them when she was growing up. They have not seen her for a number of years.
‘She was a lovely girl. We can only imagine she got in with the wrong crowd,’ Mr Prigent told us, after seeing his niece’s performance on the TV news this week. ‘I think her conduct was disgraceful. I do not mind people protesting, but the language she used was totally unacceptable.’
Janet Prigent was equally shocked and angry by what she saw. ‘It is completely at odds with our own views,’ she said. ‘We were pleased the Trump visit appeared to go so well. She [Siobhan] was very aggressive and we are embarrassed.’
These feelings are shared by another aunt, Sheila Humphreys, the manager of an electrical firm and general secretary of the local sheepdog trials in her native Peak District. ‘My older brother [the aforementioned Paul Prigent] rang me to ask if I had seen her [Siobhan] on TV,’ Mrs Humphreys explained. ‘I immediately Googled her and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. How is that any way to behave?…
Video footage of the Parliament Square incident shows the grey-haired Trump fan, who was the object of Siobhan’s ire, wearing a red-and-white baseball cap. He was part of a group waving the Stars and Stripes who were behaving peacefully.
But Siobhan and her ‘pals’ were offended by the presence of the Trump supporters. They pulled at the man’s jacket and, in the ensuing scuffle, he was pulled to the ground. When challenged about her behaviour on video, Miss Prigent replied: ‘I don’t need to hear from other white men, thank you very much.’
Imagine the uproar if those comments had been directed to, say, an innocent Muslim protester.

“Omar Amin” Von Leers and the Islamization of Nazism
by Andrew Bostom
Johannes “Omar Amin” von Leers (d. 1965), was a Nazi disciple of Hajj Amin el-Husseini who converted to Islam, found a haven in Egypt, and embraced a 1300 year-old ideology to destroy the Judeo-Christian West—Islamic jihad.
Sixty-four years ago, June 8, 1955, while still in exile in Argentina, Leers wrote a letter to W.E.B. DuBois, extolling Islam and African Muslim soldiers under WWI-era German colonial governance, as follows:…

Arrest in Probe of German Politician Walter Lübcke’s Death
A probe into the death of a German regional politician has resulted in an arrest, the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper has reported. Walter Lübcke was shot dead on the terrace of his home near Kassel last weekend.
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) said police had on Saturday extensively interviewed the suspect, a “younger man,” who it said had “admitted” to having been in a “private relationship” with the conservative politician.
“What exactly this contact looked like still needs further investigation,” FAZ reported, adding that investigators were confident they had identified the suspect by examining the dead politician’s private data, including that on a mobile telephone.
Germany’s dpa news agency subsequently quoted a police squad spokesperson as saying that one person had been taken into custody “provisionally.” Further details were not given so as not to endanger the investigation.

Italy: Govt Must Go on Say Di Maio, Salvini After Talks
Restart EU talks to put Italians back at centre
(ANSA) — Rome, June 6 — The government must go on, ruling partners Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini said after an hour-long meeting Thursday according to a joint statement from their 5-Star Movement (M5S) and League parties.
The two leaders want to “restart” constructive dialogue with Europe, the note said, “putting Italians back at the centre after years of passive governments”.
Objectives include cutting taxes, a “priority to relaunch the country”, the joint statement said, adding that “extraordinary measures are needed, and no tax rise, for the development of the economy.
“Higher revenues from IRPEF (personal income tax) and VAT, almost 8%, and the reduction of unemployment with respect to 2018 in the first four months of the year tell us we are on the right path”.
Deputy Premiers Di Maio and Salvini met at the premier’s office in Rome.
Neither leader made any statements after the hour-long meeting.
Sources for Di Maio’s M5S said the meeting had been “positive and fruitful”.
It was the first meeting between the government partners after weeks of tensions spanning the May 26 European elections.
In the elections, Salvini’s League doubled its vote compared to the March 2018 general election, from 18% to 34%.
The M5S, by contrast, halved its vote from 33% to 17%.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Talks With State Counsellor of Myanmar Aung San Suu Kyi
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has had talks with the head of Myanmar’s Government Aung San Suu Kyi. The subjects covered in the talks were illegal immigration and bilateral economic, educational and cultural relations. The Prime Minister received the State Counsellor in his office in the Carmelite Monastery in Budapest. At the meeting the two leaders highlighted that one of the greatest challenges at present for both countries and their respective regions — South East Asia and Europe — is migration. They noted that both regions have seen the emergence of the issue of coexistence with continuously growing Muslim populations.
Mr. Orbán pointed out that Hungary supports trade cooperation between the EU and Myanmar. At the same time, however, he stressed that Hungary rejects attempts at the “export of democracy” and the approach of bureaucrats in Brussels and elsewhere in the West, who seek to conflate unrelated issues such as economic cooperation and internal political questions.
At the meeting the two leaders said that they would like to place greater emphasis on educational and cultural relations between the two countries, but they also acknowledged unexplored opportunities in the field of economic relations. Therefore it was agreed that the two countries’ foreign trade ministers will intensify their cooperation.
Mr. Orbán said that the Hungarian people have great respect for Aung San Suu Kyi and all she has done for her country’s freedom and democratic transformation.

In the letter, the EC said an infringement procedure against Rome for high debt was justified, but the Commission would not start one yet.
“They’re still asking for cuts, to deprive citizens of money,” said Di Maio on the local election runoff trail in southern Italy.
“This is because of a series of economic theories that have not held up in these years, and we will not do this”.

Tommy Robinson is Seen Screaming in Another England Fan’s Face at Nations League Match
Tommy Robinson has been caught on camera squaring up to an England fan during last night’s Nations League match, just moments after he punched another fan in the face outside the stadium.
The EDL founder and former leader can be seen repeatedly screaming ‘do something’ into the young man’s face in footage obtained exclusively by Mail Online.
A witness, who asked to remain anonymous, said the young man had been swearing and Robinson became angry because he thought the abuse was directed at him.
The fan told Mail Online that Robinson climbed over two rows of seats to reach the young man, before getting in his face…
After footage of the punch spread online, the EDL founder posted a video on social media in which he said: ‘[That man] has come up to me twice, getting rowdy, getting abusive, being aggressive.
‘I said to the man’s friend: ‘Keep that man away from me, he comes back up to me again like that and watch what happens to him.’’
He added: ‘I acted in self-defence. He was the aggressor.
‘I had been trying to walk up there and he kept getting in my face. I thought he was going to punch me the first time.’
Robinson said he was called a ‘w****r’ and told: ‘F*** off. What you doing here?’
‘It’s self-defence because I’m not going to wait for him to beat me up in front of my missus,’ he added.

UK: ‘New Politics’: Farage to Launch ‘Direct Democracy’ Initiative at Brexit Party Conference
The Brexit Party will give its registered supporters the opportunity to influence the party’s policies, in what Nigel Farage described as the “new politics” of giving decision-making powers to the people, rather than party elites.
At the party’s first national conference on June 30th in Birmingham, Mr Farage has said that he and his team will unveil the direction of their policy development, adding: “Then we will start a consultation with our paying supporters — all 110,000-and-counting of them — and give them a vote on what happens next.”

UK: “Stop Boris” Madness in Six Pictures
Corbyn does not want an election now because Farage could actually win the damn thing. Labour and the Tories would both be decimated.
Once the Tories actually deliver Brexit, there is no reason for a single issue party (whose goal is Brexit) to exist.
Other than me, Chips is the only one I have seen make this proposal.
That said, if the Tories don’t deliver Brexit, Nigel Farage could actually win a 5-way race. (Tories, Labour, Brexit Party, Liberal Democrats, Greens, Change UK). That’s 6 actually, assuming Change UK does not fold soon.
Neither the Tories nor Labour want an election now. So, the logical conclusion is Brexit will be delivered, kicking and screaming one way or another.

UK: A “United” Kingdom How Much Longer?
They were the elections that weren’t supposed to take place, but wound up proving highly significant for British politics. By now the U.K. should have divorced itself from the EU under Prime Minister Theresa May’s promise of “Brexit means Brexit.” But with her leadership turning out to be not so “strong and stable,” Britain finds itself still part of Europe. As a result, on May 23, voters in the European Parliament election seized the chance to send a resounding message to traditional centrist parties that the duopoly that has dominated U.K. politics since World War II — Conservative and Labour — is no more. Change is afoot.
Despite two years of disastrous Brexit negotiations with deal after deal blocked by Westminster politicians and considerable attempts by Remain (in EU) supporters, including former Prime Minister Tony Blair, to lobby for a second referendum on Brexit, the indefatigable Nigel Farage led his Brexit Party to decisive victory, claiming 32 percent of the vote.
But a map of the voting ratio tells a different story in Scotland. As predicted, it was a historic result for the governing Scottish National Party, which stood on a Remain platform, advocating a second referendum. Their 38 percent vote rose from 29 percent in the last EU election five years ago. The Brexit Party by contrast secured just under 15 percent. As Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon concluded, Scotland has reinforced its pro-EU stance.

It marks the first time that Oxford and the University of Cambridge haven’t made up the top two in the Guardian University Guide.
While Cambridge retains the overall top spot, St Andrews beat Oxford after several years of being third in the league table.
The newly awarded second place university is the third oldest in the UK after the tradition top two and was founded in 1413.

Theresa May formally quit as Tory leader today, firing the starting gun on what promises to be a bitter succession race.
The PM made her resignation official in a letter to the powerful 1922 committee, which immediately announced that nominations for the top job will open on Monday.
Some 11 candidates have so far publicly said they will seek to replace Mrs May in Downing Street, but they will each need to secure backing from at least eight MPs to stand.
Mrs May was photographed smiling as she was driven away from No10 earlier — possibly relieved that her ordeal is drawing to a close.
[Comment: Next step for her is a cushy job in Brussels. The Conservative Party is riddled with globalist appartchiks, Europhiles and traitors. Changing leaders is like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.]

Russia to Make Its Own ‘Chernobyl’ Film Blaming U.S. And CIA for Nuclear Accident
Vladimir Putin’s Russia is looking more and more like the old Soviet Union. This is to be expected given that Putin cut his teeth as a Communist apparatchik working for the KGB back in the day.
But in Russia, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Recently, HBO broadcast the emotionally gripping account of what happened during the 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The series Chernobyl, which ended a few days ago, depicted the stupidity, negligence, bureaucratic bungling, heroism, and the conspiracy of silence from the government that kept the true cost in lives and rubles of the disaster secret for decades. The series was a huge hit — even in Russia.
But the portrayal in the series of Soviet government culpability in keeping vital information from the operators at the power plant and the KGB efforts to hush the whole thing up apparently didn’t sit well with Putin’s regime. The Cultural Ministry is funding a film of the disaster that tells a much different story.

The Muslim drug paddlers under the Islamic drug rackets usually target the Hindu youths and children for exploiting them to achieve a success of Drug Jihad
Sanjeevi Punalekar | HENB | Mmbai | June 8, 2019:: A 35-year-old district-level Hindu cricketer and local coach was stabbed in the head multiple times and killed in Bhandup on Thursday night. The police have identified three Muslim suspects — Sohail Khan, 18, his father Asif and one of Sohail’s friends . Late on Friday, the police first arrested Asif. Sohil and his friend had been missing since the crime for hours but finally polkice arrested them also.
Promising Cricketer Rakesh Ambadas Pawar was killed around 11.45pm on Thursday, when he was at a petrol pump on LBS road. Pawar’s relatives said they suspect Khan killed Pawar, because he stopped Khan from selling drugs in the area. “At least two of the suspects were carrying sharp weapons. It looks like Pawar was attacked after arguments with the suspects,” said Akhilesh kumar Singh, deputy commissioner of police, zone 7.
A police vehicle that reached the petrol pump after the attack took Pawar to the Mulund general hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. Pawar was with a friend when he was killed. The police is questioning her to find out more.
Pawar, who coaches children in the area, had confronted Khan several times about the latter’s drug habit and asked him why he was influencing the youth there. “Khan has been pulled up for his drug habit. He is also known to get other boys to try drugs. He first gives them the drugs for free, and when the boys get addicted, he would start charging for it,” said Radha Khandagle, Pawar’s relative…

Newt Gingrich: China Far Worse Since Tiananmen Square Massacre
The Chinese communist party’s domination of the lives of Chinese citizens is far worse now than it was thirty years ago at the time of the Tiananmen Square massacre, writes former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich in a sobering essay Friday.
“General Secretary Xi Jinping has further consolidated and expanded the power of the totalitarian system to monitor and control the lives of the Chinese people,” writes Mr. Gingrich, whose forthcoming book on China will be released in October. “The private space in which one would have dissenting thoughts or share dissent with one’s family or neighbors is being squeezed more and more every day.”

Donald Trump’s Mexico Deal: Democrats Sad, Media Mope
Most Democrats and pro-migration advocates stayed silent after President Donald Trump announced he had gotten the reluctant Mexican government to agree to keep all migrants in Mexico until their U.S. court hearings.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Twitter account was silent following the deal, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer poured sarcasm all over the deal:…
Rubio scoffed at coverage by Politico, saying, “A good example of how hard it will be for some in media to be fair in covering deal with #Mexico This [Politico] story opens with ‘Trump dropped his unpopular plan to impose tariffs after deal was reached’ as if the tariffs had nothing to do with getting the deal.”

Report: YouTube to Label Criticism of Immigration “Hate Speech”
New policy Big Tech’s latest push against conservative voices
“Immigration status” has been declared a protected category on YouTube’s hate speech policy, effectively banning speech critical of illegal immigration, experts warn.
Even though the policy specifies YouTube will only remove content that promotes violence or hatred towards “individuals or groups” based on that attribute, conservatives are concerned the policy will be used to justify the removal of accurate criticism of immigration policies.
“YouTube’s new policy on hate speech includes immigration status,” said Swedish independent journalist Peter Imanuelsen. “In other words, you cannot criticize immigration anymore.”
“This is YouTube taking a left-wing political stance. Censorship of conservative opinions is getting worse on social media.”

Trump Deal With Mexico Likely Ends Catch-and-Release, Defunds Cartels
Ending catch-and-release is a huge win for Americans and Trump
President Donald Trump has announced an immigration reform deal with the Mexican government which likely will allow border officials to end the catch-and-release of Central American migrants.
Ending catch-and-release is a huge win for Americans and Trump because it means border officials now have a legal alternative to the catch-and-release rules which allow migrants to legally enter the United States if they bring children and claim asylum.
Those catch-and-release rules set by Congress and the courts also allow the migrants to get work permits before their asylum court hearings, which are now backlogged for two or more years.
Instead of catch-and-release, the migrants can be returned to Mexico until their asylum claims can be heard by a judge.

Are Disney and NBCUniversal risking the Alienation of Conservative Tourists?
Both companies operate theme parks and resorts, and their respective operations in Orlando, Florida are among the most visited every summer. But with these entities possibly joining in Hollywood’s efforts to boycott Georgia, that could effect their respective businesses greatly.
As a former cast member at the Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park, the fact that Disney in particular is joining in the boycott is very disappointing, and CEO Bob Iger has put himself in an impossible position by saying it would be “very difficult to do business in Georgia,” mentioning that a lot of people who work for the company don’t like it.
It’s possible that he’s talking about the mainly left-wing executives at the company, including Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn. If that’s the case, so be it. But with all due respect to Iger (and I have a lot of it as a Disney shareholder and a longtime fan), he might want to think about alienating conservatives by caving into pressure from his Hollywood peers. It could be very bad for, not only the movie studio, but the theme parks as well with new themed areas based on the Star Wars franchise opening at Disneyland and Disney World this summer.
Just ask The Wall Street Journal. In an editorial last week, that Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper said:
Georgians have a right to self government, and like other Americans they aren’t fond of receiving ultimatums from elites on the coasts. It won’t help Mr. Iger’s business or his progressive causes if he persuades half the country that Disney thinks they’re deplorable.

Democrats Threaten Our Happiness and Liberty
As we anticipate the Presidential election of 2020, we need to keep in mind that the Democratic Party is overwhelmingly aligned with left-wing positions. The prominence of Bernie Sanders after decades as a maverick “Democratic Socialist” sitting on the sidelines and carping about our class struggle is a sign of the regressive politics of the Democratic Party. It is having flashbacks to the Socialists of 100 years ago under Eugene V. Debs, and the left-wing wet dreams of Henry Wallace and his ilk that broke with the FDR and Truman wing of the Democrats in 1948.
They are opposed to the building up of faith, family, and freedom. Even the most centrist candidate of the Dems, Joe Biden, is not really centrist, but simply appears centrist because he is a conforming sycophant whose greatest claim to fame is his survival in top positions for over four decades. He is glib, tends towards inappropriate comments, and, after 40+ years has no singular achievements except the title “Vice-President” after his name. However, he has revealed himself, under the most generous possible interpretation, as having lascivious tendencies towards female children as well as grown women.
The Democrats thus are stepping out with statist ideas at a time when we need more freedom from intrusion into and control over our lives by governmental bureaucracies. The paperwork alone associated with healthcare, federal and state income taxes, the census, land use, and, as a result of Dodd-Frank legislation, even opening bank accounts, is mountainous and repulsive to freedom-loving individuals. We need restoration of the family, which is disintegrating right before our eyes. While only 5% of children were being born outside the marriage bond in 1960, that percentage for the past 4-5 years has been 40%, an 800% increase. Male and female identities are under attack, and sexual immorality proliferates, including sex trafficking, pornography, and pedophilia. The vast number of abortions suggests not only an epidemic of violence and cruelty, but that millions will go to any length to satisfy their underlying sexual lusts.

Exclusive: Oberlin College Insurer Likely to Reject Coverage for Gibson Bakery $11 Million Verdict
A jury has awarded Gibson’s Bakery and its owners $11 million in compensatory damages against Oberlin College, for libel, intentional interference with business, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The punitive damage hearing next week could add another $22 million, bringing the total to $33 million.
There will be post-trial motions to set aside the jury verdict and/or reduce the dollar amounts, and then appeals. So while the Gibson family won a major victory, it is not over.
An obvious question, and one a lot of people have been asking, is whether the college has liability insurance to cover the verdict.
Based on court filings obtained by Legal Insurrection Foundation, it appears that the insurer, Lexington Insurance Company, is likely to disclaim coverage for the intentional torts which gave rise to the verdict.

Frankfurt School Reigns Supreme at Notre Dame
As some of you doubtless know, the Frankfurt School was founded by communists shortly after the Bolshevik coup in Russia, and is dedicated to destruction of the West by cultural corruption. Willi Munzenburg, one of the school’s founders put it bluntly. The school’s curriculum was designed to:
organise the intellectuals and use them to make Western civilisation stink. Only then, after they have corrupted all its values and made life impossible, can we impose the dictatorship of the proletariat.
David R. Carlin, author of “The Decline and Fall of the Catholic Church in America” writes:
In general, the leaders of the Church have never understood the historical significance of the abortion-rights movement (and this can be said of the gay-marriage movement as well). What the abortion-rights movement wants is not simply the right to kill millions of unborn babies; what it also wants is the utter destruction of Christianity. (Emphasis mine.) The pro-abortion movement has from the beginning wrapped itself in the mantle of “women’s rights.” But the fact of the matter is that in the abortion issue the radical Left saw a rare opportunity to split our society right down the middle, with the unstated goal of obliterating the moral principles that in the final analysis are our only non-violent defense against the designs of the communists. And they have been wildly successful. I do not believe there is a more divisive issue on today’s political landscape, and the left relentlessly rubs salt in the wound.

Milo Yiannopoulos Named Marshal for ‘Straight Pride’ Parade in Boston
‘Men, bring your most toxic selves. Women, prepare to burn your briefcases!’
Organizers of Boston’s “straight pride” parade named right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos as the event’s grand marshal.
The leaders of the group Super Happy Fun America say the parade will “advocate on behalf of the straight community.” The group named Yiannopoulos, a former Breitbart News editor and an openly gay man, as the parade’s grand marshal and mascot on Friday.
“I might technically be a sequined and perfectly coiffed friend of Dorothy’s, but I’ve spent my entire career advocating for the rights of America’s most brutally repressed identity — straight people — so I know a thing or two about discrimination,” Yiannopolis said in a statement.
“This parade is a gift to anyone, male or female, black or white — gay and transgender allies, too! — who will stand with us and celebrate the wonder and the majesty of God’s own heterosexuality,” Yiannopolis added.
“Men, bring your most toxic selves. Women, prepare to burn your briefcases! Because it’s great to be straight, and we’re not apologizing for it any more. We’re Here, Not Queer.”

“I really like his movies and his lawyers sent us a letter asking us to take his stuff down but, you know, you’re allowed to do satire,” John Hugo, president of Super Happy Fun America, told the newspaper.
The organization later named Yiannopoulos, who is openly gay, as its grand marshal for the event.

Teen Vogue Publishes a “How to” On Getting an Abortion Without Telling Parents: “It Can be Tricky”
Nona Willis Aronowitz is a Teen Vogue writer who has a new weekly column within the magazine called ‘Down to Find Out’.
The new monthly column has nothing to do with fashion or make-up but is about giving sex advice to teens. This means trying to push a mainstream attitude that it’s ok to have an abortion without parental knowledge:
In a recent article, Aronowitz wrote a “how to” on getting an abortion as a teen without parents. She said abortion as a teen can be “tricky” and gave the lowdown on how to do it in her “How to Get an Abortion If You’re a Teen” article. She claims teens are mature enough to decide on whether they want to give birth without parents:…
Teen Vogue made a conscious decision to abandon fashion, advice from makeup and beauty experts, hairstyles, celebrity gossip, and relationship tips for young girls, in exchange for the indoctrination of radical leftist thought and promotion of radical activism. Teen Vogue magazine’s digital editorial director actually admitted to making it their mission to “dissect the news” for “millions of young women” and claims she believes they have “a responsibility to do right by them and view the news through that very specific lens.”…
How did Teen Vogue become such a radical leftist indoctrination tool for teens?
The Atlantic — In May, 29-year-old Elaine Welteroth took over as editor from Amy Astley, who helped found the magazine in 2003. Welteroth, the digital editorial director Phillip Picardi, and the creative director Marie Suter have moved the magazine more aggressively into covering politics, feminism, identity, and activism. Together, the three have shepherded a range of timely, newsy stories, including an interview exploring what it’s like to be a Muslim woman facing a Trump presidency, a list of reasons why Mike Pence’s record on women’s rights and LGBTQ rights should trouble readers, and a video in which two Native American teenagers from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe discuss the Dakota Access Pipeline protests.

The Frankfurt School and the War on the West
by Bill Muehlenberg
Just what exactly is the Frankfurt School? “Well, in the days following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, it was believed that workers’ revolution would sweep into Europe and, eventually, into the United States. But it did not do so. Towards the end of 1922 the Communist International (Comintern) began to consider what were the reasons. On Lenin’s initiative a meeting was organised at the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow.
“The aim of the meeting was to clarify the concept of, and give concrete effect to, a Marxist cultural revolution. Amongst those present were Georg Lukacs (a Hungarian Marxist theoretician he developed the idea of ‘Revolution and Eros’ — sexual instinct used as an instrument of destruction) and Willi Munzenberg (whose proposed solution was to ‘organise the intellectuals and use them to make Western civilisation stink. Only then, after they have corrupted all its values and made life impossible, can we impose the dictatorship of the proletariat’)”
The ‘School’ was started at the University of Frankfurt in 1923. “When Hitler came to power, the Institut was closed and its members, by various routes, fled to the United States and migrated to major US universities — Columbia, Princeton, Brandeis, and California at Berkeley.”
Many important names are associated with the School: “The School included among its members the 1960s guru of the New Left Herbert Marcuse, Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, the popular writer Erich Fromm, Leo Lowenthal, and Jurgen Habermas — possibly the School’s most influential representative.”
So what was the aim of these men? “Basically, the Frankfurt School believed that as long as an individual had the belief — or even the hope of belief — that his divine gift of reason could solve the problems facing society, then that society would never reach the state of hopelessness and alienation that they considered necessary to provoke socialist revolution. Their task, therefore, was as swiftly as possible to undermine the Judaeo-Christian legacy. To do this they called for the most negative destructive criticism possible of every sphere of life which would be designed to de-stabilize society and bring down what they saw as the ‘oppressive’ order. Their policies, they hoped, would spread like a virus—’continuing the work of the Western Marxists by other means’ as one of their members noted.”
They devised strategies by which the destruction of the West could quickly and effectively take place: “To further the advance of their ‘quiet’ cultural revolution — but giving us no ideas about their plans for the future — the School recommended (among other things):
| “1. | The creation of racism offences. | |
| 2. | Continual change to create confusion. | |
| 3. | The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children. | |
| 4. | The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority. | |
| 5. | Huge immigration to destroy identity. | |
| 6. | The promotion of excessive drinking. | |
| 7. | Emptying of churches. | |
| 8. | An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime. | |
| 9. | Dependency on the state or state benefits. | |
| 10. | Control and dumbing down of media. | |
| 11. | Encouraging the breakdown of the family.” |
If anyone is wondering why the West is embarked upon sexual suicide, much of the answer can be found in the Frankfurt School: “One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud’s idea of ‘pansexualism’ — the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would:
- “attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children.
- abolish differences in the education of boys and girls.
- abolish all forms of male dominance — hence the presence of women in the armed forces.
- declare women to be an ‘oppressed class’ and men as ‘oppressors’.
Munzenberg summed up the Frankfurt School’s long-term operation thus: ‘We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks’.”
Matthews explores each of these areas in more detail, and then makes this summary statement: “The School believed there were two types of revolution: (a) political and (b) cultural. Cultural revolution demolishes from within. ‘Modern forms of subjection are marked by mildness’. They saw it as a long-term project and kept their sights clearly focused on the family, education, media, sex and popular culture.”

By Anthony J. DeBlasi
For at least a hundred years, Marxists and secular humanists have been redoing society and “making the world better” in ways that would never have worked had their scheming been known to the general public. Secretly, with foxlike stealth, their organizations and agents of change have succeeded in causing more than two generations of Americans to despise their country, its economic system, its heritage, undermining church teaching on what is right and what is wrong, and stoking enmity between men and women. Infiltrating media, the schools, the workplace, and the places of worship, they have relied on the general honesty, kindness, and good nature of people to, as Obama put it, “fundamentally transform America.”
Had the major channels of information kept American citizens informed about what was going on behind their backs — something that is expected of investigative reporters — it would not have been possible to “transform America” from a free, sovereign nation into a building block for a collective world order run by self-serving elites with no moral compass and delusions of grandeur.
The plans of Marxist and secular humanist utopians may differ in details but basic elements are shared: God is out, the state is in; the state owns the people, all property and assets, including scientific and intellectual property; people must be made to conform to the state models for behavior; non-compliant types that don’t convert must be eliminated; the new god — some version of “Big Brother” (“Big Sister”?) — replaces all other deities.
The holy grail of the new order is politically adjusted “science.” The “sacred scripture” of the new order is Political Correctness, an orthodoxy that washes away the sins of common sense, originality of thought, freedom of action, and all competing human tendencies.
Iron-fisted Marxists stuck to revolution and purges for takeover of populations. Velvet-gloved neo-Marxists and their secular humanist colleagues prefer infiltration, “education,” and shaming. The methods, whether hard or soft, sudden or gradual, are equally ruthless. They must be because the mission to pit the world and its inhabitants against their very substance and nature calls for action free of scruples. Where harsh force won’t work, subversion must be applied, so as to weaken resistance.

UK: Delingpole: Doctor Who Writer Banned for ‘Transphobic’ Views
Woke Doctor Who fans have had a Doctor Who writer removed from a short story collection because he holds incorrect views about transgender issues.
Why am I not surprised?
I’m so old that I can actually remember a time when Doctor Who was a children’s TV programme rather than a political indoctrination class for budding Social Justice Warriors.
But, as we know, that Tardis flew long ago.
Even as long ago as 2005, Doctor Who was eagerly introducing us to possibly UK kiddy TV’s first out bisexual — Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman).
Then, it went a step further by explaining to us that actually Captain Jack is not really bisexual because in the future everyone has realised that sexuality is just a social construct so people can date whoever they want…
Since then, Doctor Who has successfully managed to shed large numbers of viewers by turning every episode into a United Colours of Benetton advert in which even Victorian England is depicted as a paradigm of diversity (“history’s a whitewash” we were told), by making every other character gay or disabled, and by ensuring that Doctor Who himself has had all his toxic masculinity removed by being turned into a woman. Now, Doctor Who fans have taken this wokeness to whole new levels by sacking one of its writers from a short story collection — as a punishment for holding incorrect views on transgender people.
Gareth Roberts, an award-winning Doctor Who writer, has described his experiences on Medium:…
What ‘Dr Who fandom’ had objected to, it seems, was an old tweet where he used the word “trannies”.
Also, it would appear, Roberts has some daringly controversial views on ‘gender’:
‘I don’t believe in gender identity. It is impossible for a person to change their biological sex. I think it’s wrong to write a falsehood into law; compel people by law to speak words they do not believe; rewrite the law to remove women’s biological sex-based rights and protections; reinforce gender stereotypes; medicalise children who don’t conform to gender stereotypes. That’s it.’
Roberts, in other words, has the same views on gender — that you’re born either a man or a woman and that this remains your biological sex for all eternity — held by 99.99 per cent of people in the known universe.
Yet for this crime he has now been humiliatingly rejected from a short story collection by a formerly reputable publisher — BBC books, an imprint of Ebury Publishing.

UK: Homophobic Attack in London
In the accompanying account of the attack, in English and Spanish, Geymonat said that at least four men began harassing the couple when they saw them kissing. The group made lewd comments, demanded that they kiss and eventually assaulted and robbed them, Geymonat said.
“They started behaving like hooligans, demanding that we kissed so they could enjoy watching, calling us ‘lesbians’ and describing sexual positions,” she wrote.
Geymonat said she started making jokes in an attempt to defuse the situation. But the men “kept on harassing us, throwing us coins and becoming more enthusiastic about it.”
“The next thing I know is that Chris is in the middle of the bus fighting with them,” Geymonat said. “On an impulse, I went over there only to find her face bleeding and three of them beating her up. The next thing I know is I’m being punched.”
[Comment: Repugnant assault. But where is the full video? Did one of the women stupidly tried to get in the face of these yobs? Did this trigger the yobs? It would have been better if they had both gone down to the lower level of the double decker bus. Yobs always inhabit the upper level.

A mother who claims she was offered ten abortions by doctors right up until her due date — has given birth to a healthy baby girl.
Natalie Halson, from Manchester, 29, said doctors repeatedly warned that her unborn baby would have a poor quality of life after a 22-week scan showed the foetus had spina bifida.
The condition — which affects 1,500 pregnancies every year — means the spine and spinal cord haven’t developed properly in the womb.
But Natalie, an assistant radiographer, said she decided to trust her gut instinct and go ahead with the pregnancy — welcoming 7lb 6oz Mirabelle, who is now six-months— old.
And although Natalie doesn’t know exactly what the future holds, she said her daughter is thriving after having corrective surgery shortly after she was born.

“The Frankfurt School and the War on the West” by Bill Muelenberg is actually a rehash of an old article by Timothy Matthews entitled “The Frankfurt School, Conspiracy to Corrupt” which appeared on the Catholic Insight website in the early 2000s. I used this as source material for my trilogy on this subject which appeared on this website from March 19 to April 14 2018.
It is essential that the work of the Frankfurt School is not swept under the carpet by lying leftists who maintain that the Frankfurt School was only interested in finding out why the Bolshevik revolution failed. It failed because people had more sense, no more, no less.
When confronted by those who seek to expose the activities of the Frankfurt School, leftists will lie, vilify and abuse those who try to reveal the evil that these people have perpetrated on western society. We must not allow them to get away with this.
