Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Thousands in Four Countries Participate in ‘Sex Ed Sit Out’ Monday ~ Parents are finally fighting back against the pornography being pushed on their kids in the name of sex education (and at the expense of traditional subjects; reading, writing, math and history) ~
Sex ed today across our country is not the sex ed of generations past. Children are being taught how to engage in anal and oral sex, masturbate, pleasure others, how to have orgasms, how to question their gender, and even how to get to the local birth control/abortion clinic via bus route without parents knowing about it […]
Planned Parenthood and Human Rights Campaign are working in concert to push graphic Sex Education and promotion of abortion in public schools across our nation, and parents don’t even know about it.
Venezuela: 120 Percent Increase in Political Prisoners Under Maduro Regime ~ Of course. Every good little Marxist tyrant always jails the opposition ~
There are currently 233 political prisoners across Venezuela, mainly on crimes of “treason,” instigating anti-government protests, or the alleged use of violence or intimidation against the country’s security forces. This is a 120-percent increase from this time last year, where there were around 100 people imprisoned […]
Nearly all of those imprisoned are dissidents against the Maduro regime, which has over the past year transformed the country into a totalitarian dictatorship where political dissent is outlawed.
Venezuelan political prisoners have previously testified to the use of torturous methods by prison authorities, which include the use of electroshock, starvation, and nude humiliation.
And speaking of socialists ~ Carter Center sued for providing support to Hamas, defrauding taxpayers ~
The Zionist Advocacy Center, which filed the recently unsealed suit in 2015, alleges the Carter Center received more than $30 million in taxpayer grants while violating federal statutes barring it from using the cash to provide material support to terror groups.
The plaintiffs maintain the Carter Center has violated the law by hosting designated terrorists at is facilities, as well as by providing various forms of assistance to the Palestinian terror group Hamas and other known terror entities, according to recently unsealed court documents […]
Former President Carter’s ongoing and well-documented interactions with Hamas and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) are tantamount to material support for terror groups, the suit alleges citing evidence Carter hosted these officials at his Center’s offices.
Unfortunately, in a disturbing development, Trump’s DOJ is moving to to have the case dismissed on the grounds it’s too expensive to prosecute(?!) So the rule-of-law only applies if it’s cost-effective? [Check out Adam Kredo’s whole article at the Washington Free Beacon.]
Voters Overwhelmingly Support Draining The Swamp ~ You wouldn’t know it by listening to the mainstreams, but we’re not alone ~
According to the Listening Project poll, 60 percent of all voters and 74 percent of Republicans believe it is important to drain “the Swamp.” Only 6 percent of voters and 5 percent of Republicans believe draining the Swamp is unimportant […]
Most people, including moderates and liberals, believe lobbyists, GOP members and bureaucrats are the ones most to blame for keeping the Swamp alive. Trump voters and conservatives place the most blame with the media, Democrat leadership and lobbyists.
I’d say all of the above!
Return of the feckless Chick-fil-A-phobes ~ Michelle Malkin discusses the recent outbreak of Chick-fil-A-phobia in NYC ~
Welcome to Social Justice 101, where discriminating against Christian-owned business in the name of opposing discrimination is the definition of tolerance […]
Chick-fil-A’s corporate mission to “glorify God” and “enrich the lives of everyone we touch” leaves (Daniel Piepenbring at The New Yorker) scribe erminally heartsick about the “ulterior motive” of its restaurant execs. So do the founding family’s commitments to faithful marriages, strong families, Sundays off and the highest standards of character for their employees.
Drones Are High-Tech Marvels, but Congress Needs to Address the Threats They Pose ~ Not that I trust congress to get much right these days, but Paul Fredrick and David Inserra do have a point. I can certainly imagine a determined jihadi using drones to deliver an IED or two.
Drug Users Take Over Corridors Of San Francisco Civic Center BART Station ~ So sad. How much more s**t will the City by the Bay tolerate?
AN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Shocking video is calling attention to what’s going on in one of the busiest BART stations in the Bay Area: drug users blatantly shooting up out in the open as commuters walk by, others slumped along filthy corridors.
Britain and Alfie Evans show how socialism destroys human dignity ~ The UK government has crushed individual sovereignty ~
The evolutionary genesis of this mindset over the past 150 years is the gradual and inexorable erosion in respect for the uniqueness of each human life, a basic tenet of Judeo-Christian teachings. Thus, Marxist-socialist theory is unbending in its rejection and suppression of organized religion and belief in a supreme being.
The increasingly agnostic and secular societies of Europe are not only willfully choosing to ignore the existence of God, but rejecting the moral and behavioral guidelines established by Judeo-Christian teachings.
And eventually, socialism destroys the human soul ~ Through Bloodied Teeth, Alfie Evans’ Dad Says He Now Loves Big Brother ~ Broken. ~
Those of us shocked to see this sick, pornographic abuse of parental rights and human dignity in the nation of Magna Carta ought to remember: George Orwell based his nightmare of tyranny on trends he saw in Britain. His villains are British villains. Likewise when C.S. Lewis wrote That Hideous Strength, he wasn’t depicting the cruelties of German Nazis or Soviet commissars. He drew on the petty tyrants he met in faculty lounges at Cambridge. Tolkien ended The Lord of the Rings with the “scouring of the Shire.” It showed the thuggish side that can emerge when Englishmen get drunk on wicked ideas.
Climate change is ‘not as bad as we thought’ say scientists ~ Huh. Imagine that ~
The study questioning the future intensity of climate change was carried out by American climatologist Judith Curry and UK mathematician Nick Lewis.
It is based on analysing the warming effect of greenhouse gases and other drivers of climate change, from the mid 19th century until 2016.
It forecast that future warming will be between 30 per cent and 45 per cent lower than suggested by simulations carried out by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel one Climate Change.
Kanye Exposes Liberals and Progressives as the New Reactionaries ~ Pop culture celeb dares to venture off the Leftist plantation, mayhem enuses ~
What these attacks on Kanye demonstrate in bold face is what has lurked beneath the surface for a long time — liberals and progressives are the reactionaries of our time.
It is also a further demonstration of a near complete lack of intellectual curiosity or emotional imagination, an inability to grasp the “remote” possibility that a highly intelligent black man could possibly think differently from them. Something must be wrong with him. (Could anything possibly be wrong with them? Nah!)
Friday relief from bad news: Trump’s “Hispanic” doppelgänger ~ Humor break 😀 ~
The world’s social media is all abuzz about someone who looks a whole lot like Donald Trump.
The funny twist in this story is that the doppelgänger is a woman in Galicia, Spain.
My Favorite Tweet of the Week ~
Dear Barack Obama:
We made a mistake. Please return your prize to:
The Nobel Foundation

SwedenPeace on the Korean Peninsula and a historic meeting between North and South Korea makes your prize look silly.
