U-Turn

By Tammy Derouin

It’s easy to understand why our country is in the predicament it is in when the cold hard truth is right in front of us. When people stop learning history or refuse to acknowledge the truth and stop seeking the truth, everyone suffers. Sadly, because of this lack of attention, our country is going down a dead end road, with very few U-turn options remaining.

Image result for Turn around Clip ArtDependency is hurting our nation. Self-reliance is no longer valued. Dependency is vital to those who wish to have ultimate control. If someone or some entity wishes to have that kind of power over you, they must convince you that they are indispensable. Government dependency programs are created or increased to provide for you, in other words, control you. The rhetoric is then unleashed that you were never completely responsible for your success in the first place. Once you become dependent, you lose your freedom.

The American Revolution was a turning point in history. This turning point would not have happened had it not been for the courage of the explorers, pilgrims and the colonist who dared to dream. The United States not only emerged as a new nation, free from the bonds of Mother England, it emerged as a land of freedom. When creating our form of government the founders could have placed themselves in high positions of power, but they didn't.......

CNN Calls 'Ordinary People ... White Supremacists by Default'

CNN Calls 'Ordinary People ... White Supremacists by Default':
"On Thursday, CNN's John Blake published a story blaming "ordinary people" for making Charlottesville possible, and quoting a history professor who called such people "white supremacists by default."
"We are a country with a few million passionate white supremacists — and tens of millions of white supremacists by default," Mark Naison, a political activist and history professor at Fordham University in New York City, told CNN.
Image result for everyone is a nazi meme"You have to have millions of people who are willing to be bystanders, who push aside evidence of racism, Islamophobia, or sexism. 
You can't have one without the other."
Blake, the CNN reporter, paraphrased activists like Naison saying "the tragedy that took place in Charlottesville this month could not have occurred without the tacit acceptance of millions of ordinary, law-abiding Americans who helped create such a radically explosive climate."
He argued that "it's the ordinary people — the voters who elected a reality TV star with a record of making racially insensitive comments, the people who move out of the neighborhood when people of color move in, the family members who ignore a relative's anti-Semitism — who give these type of men room to operate, they say."
Throughout the article, Blake remained careful to acknowledge that these were the words of activists like Naison, rather than himself.
But at the end, he slipped up. "If you want to know why those white racists now feel so emboldened, it may help to look at all the ordinary people around you, your neighbors, your family members, your leaders. But first, start by looking at yourself."..."

Will Justice Come For IRS Lawbreakers At Last? | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:

Image result for flicker commons images IRS"This is one of the most serious abuses of power by a federal agency in decades. That no one really lost a job and no one has been prosecuted for abusing the powers of the federal government to harass groups for their political beliefs — the kind of thing routinely done in places such as Russia and Venezuela, not in the U.S. — is nothing less than shocking.

For those who need a reminder and without getting too deep in the weeds, the scandal involves IRS bureaucrats denying tax-exempt status to groups apparently solely due to their conservative political beliefs. This is clearly highly illegal."


Cleaning Hats in Detroit Still Requires a License [Michigan Capitol Confidential]

Cleaning Hats in Detroit Still Requires a License [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"The high-end hat business isn’t what it once was in Detroit.
Image result for i'm from the government i'm here to help memeAt his second inauguration in 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower wore a hat from Henry the Hatter, which left Detroit earlier this month after its landlord kicked the business out of its downtown Detroit location of 65 years.
Even though hat-wearing is no longer a popular fashion, the city still has an ordinance mandating businesses that wash hats get a license. 
The ordinance was written for a time when people would drop their expensive hats off at businesses that only cleaned hats, according to Kevin Jones, the manager of the city’s Business License Division.
Those businesses no longer exist in Detroit..."

"Oh, Melania.
In the words of the late, great Lou Reed, you “couldn’t hit it sideways.”
First the now–First Lady (perhaps unwittingly) plagiarizes Michelle Obama in her convention speech, then she takes as her platform a crusade against bullying—when she is married to unquestionably the greatest cyber bully in political history—and now this!
This morning, Mrs. Trump boarded Air Force One wearing a pair of towering pointy-toed snakeskin heels better suited to a shopping afternoon on Madison Avenue or a girls’ luncheon at La Grenouille."

"“I’m just stunned. This is exactly what I would have expected had Mrs. Clinton won the election, but she didn’t. It looks like the Obama administration is still running the FBI,” Mr. Clevenger told The Washington Times.
“How can a story receive national news coverage and not be a matter of public interest? If this is the new standard, then there’s no such thing as a public interest exception,” he said."

California first-grader sent to principal's office for misgendering classmate - Washington Times
"...Now first-graders at Rocklin Academy Gateway risk a trip to the principal’s office if they refer to their transgender classmate by the wrong name or gender pronoun, said Karen England, executive director of the Capitol Resource Institute, a pro-family group based in Sacramento.
“There was a little girl who had been in class with the little boy all last year,” Ms. England said. “They’re in different classes now, but she saw him on the playground yesterday and called him by his name.
The little girl was told ‘you can’t do that, his name is this name,’ and ‘you need to call him a “her.”’
Then she was called to the principal’s office.”
...The controversy at Rocklin is just the latest example of the transgender movement’s increasing emphasis on spreading its ideology through early education.

But the warning and call for the U.S. government to act contained a little-noticed last paragraph, urging the U.S. to make sure that the “rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly” are not exercised to deny rights or freedom to others and pressing the U.S. government to “ensure that such rights are not misused to promote racist hate speech and racist crimes.”..."

The Coming Age of Magic | Belmont Club
"...Technology has allowed the burden of intelligence to be shifted away from the user to the machine.
...As Arthur C. Clarke famously observed, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
Image result for antifa tear down statues memeIn our high technology present an increasing percentage of the global population must relate to their world in terms of magic.
The classic characteristic of magic is wish fulfillment.
Sigmund Freud argued that "the motives which impel one to exercise magic are easily recognized; they are the wishes of men ...
Desires replace the laws of physics.
...The politically correct solution...The morning after pill, the eat all you want but never get fat diet, the bottomless credit card, "affordable healthcare" despite accepts all preexisting conditions are applications of this principle.
The preferred solution to today's problems is no longer to intelligently avoid injury but to abolish its consequences.
This idea we should be protected from our own choices may have taken deeper root than commonly realized.
The right of everyone to be stupid AND avoid the consequences has become mainstreamed as the equality of outcomes.  
Liberation from causality is the cornerstone of "compassion", consequently it is the fundamental positive right offered by all paternalistic states.
It is also a perfect definition of magic.
The recent war on statues and the media obsession with formulaic speech recalls the magical principles of similarity and contagion.  
As every believer of magic knows enchanted objects and special words are the key to changing reality.
One destroys white supremacy by toppling statues of Stonewall Jackson, just like a voodoo doll.
To use "hate speech", like an infernal spell, risks resurrecting Nazis from the dead..."

Trump Gets Key Win From 8th Circuit

Trump Gets Key Win From 8th Circuit:

Image result for flickr commons images Planned Parenthood"The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that a state has the right to defund Planned Parenthood.

The 2-1 ruling specifically provided that while plaintiff Medicaid recipients who brought the suit are entitled to care, they cannot dictate that care includes Planned Parenthood facilities.

“The plaintiffs are asserting a right — the absolute right to a particular provider of their choosing — that (the law) does not grant them,” Judge Steven Colloton wrote in the majority opinion."




Must read of the day!-----FBI says lack of public interest in Hillary Clinton emails justifies withholding documents - Washington Times

FBI says lack of public interest in Hillary Clinton emails justifies withholding documents - Washington Times:
"Hillary Clinton’s case isn’t interesting enough to the public to justify releasing the FBI’s files on her, the bureau said this week in rejecting an open-records request by a lawyer seeking to have the former secretary of state punished for perjury.
...“You have not sufficiently demonstrated that the public’s interest in disclosure outweighs personal privacy interests of the subject,” FBI records management section chief David M. Hardy told Mr. Clevenger in a letter Monday.
“It is incumbent upon the requester to provide documentation regarding the public’s interest in the operations and activities of the government before records can be processed pursuant to the FOIA,” Mr. Hardy wrote.
...Her use of a secret email account to conduct government business while leading the State Department was front-page news for much of 2015 and 2016, and was so striking that the then-FBI director broke with procedure and made both a public statement and appearances before Congress to talk about the bureau’s probe.
The FBI says it will only release records from its files if a subject consents, is dead, or is of such public interest that it overrides privacy concerns..."

A Timeline Of Antifa Violence: January – August 2017 | Daily Wire:

Image result for flickr commons images Antifa protesters"Groups of Antifa protesters have become increasingly violent over the past year, vandalizing and destroying property, and attacking those they perceive to be “fascists.” Members of Antifa, short for “anti-fascist,” share an amorphous ideology which loosely borrows ideas from a multitude of seemingly-contradictory ideologies, including Marxism, and anarchism.

In the first eight months of 2017, Antifa has rioted in dozens of cities across the United States, leaving a trail of burning rubble and broken people in their wake.

The following is a timeline of Antifa violence from January through August of this year:"

Where two, two-lane roadways intersect, drivers have 32 separate opportunities to collide into each other. 
In a DDI, there are only 14. The DDI in Springfield, Missouri—the first in the U.S.—showed a 60 percent reduction in crashes since it was installed in 2009, compared to the old design..."

Here is the full eulogy that Barry gave:
Behold, the true face of their ‘hero’:
Byrd joined the Klan at the ripe young age of 24 — hardly a young’un by today’s standards, much less those of 1944, when Byrd refused to join the military because he might have to serve alongside “race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds,” according to a letter Byrd wrote to Sen. Theodore Bilbo at the height of World War II.
…He had come of age as a member of the Ku Klux Klan and cast a “no” vote on the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibited discrimination against African Americans and others.…No single obituary of Byrd mentioned his 2001 use of the term “white nigger,” an early 20th-century anachronism that Byrd employed not once but twice during an interview with Tony Snow. — DailyCaller

BUSTED: Actual video of debate exposes ANOTHER Hillary lie - Allen B. West - AllenBWest.com
"Yesterday, I (Matt Palumbo) had the pleasure of appearing on Fox News’ “The Tom Shillue Show,” which airs on Fox News Radio. Shillue was previously the host of the wildly popular late-night comedy show “Red Eye.”
Among the topics the two of us discussed was Hillary Clinton’s new book and the select excepts that have been made public ahead of its release. Those excepts focused on how uncomfortable she felt sharing the stage with Donald Trump (though one can only wonder whether she felt just as uncomfortable when she attended Trump’s wedding).

In particular, Hillary repeats an old media claim that Trump essentially stalked her. 
“Now we were on a small stage and no matter where I walked, he followed me closely, staring at me, making faces. It was incredibly uncomfortable. 
He was literally breathing down my neck. My skin crawled,” she wrote.
An iconic photo from the debate that night seems to support the Trump “leering” claim — but did he really?
Shillue decided to take one for the team Wednesday night and re-watch the second presidential debate … and couldn’t help but notice something that has happened countless times before. 
Hillary Clinton, and the media, lied.
As it turns out, Hillary’s memory served her about as well as when she recalled arriving in Bosnia under sniper fire. 
Not only does Trump never invade Hillary’s personal space, but it was Hillary who did what she accuses Trump of doing! 
Not once does Trump cross over into Hillary’s personal space on the stage, while Hillary does it four times.
In fact, Trump actually appears to get bored when Hillary delivers her answer, wandering in the opposite direction.
Watch Shillue’s take below:
What do you think? Is this just one more example of fake news?"
