[Breitbart] Sunday on ABC’s "This Week," Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick said the uptick in school shootings in America could be traced to culture devaluing life.
Patrick said, "Should we be surprised in this nation? We have devalued life. Whether it’s through abortion, the breakup of families, through violent movies, and particularly violent video games now outsell movies and music."
He added, "Psychologists and psychiatrists will tell you that students are desensitized to violence. Many have lost empathy for their victims by watching hours and hours of violent video games."
[Breitbart and The Hill] Mark Penn ‐ Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist during her 2008 presidential campaign who has served the Clinton family since the mid-90s ‐ lowers the boom on Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein, Christopher Steele, the Clinton Foundation, and the intelligence community’s "deep state," laying out the absurdity and the danger of the Obama administration’s abuse of surveillance and law enforcement against political enemies. 4
From The Hill:
The "deep state" is in a deep state of desperation. With little time left before the Justice Department inspector general’s report becomes public, and with special counsel Robert Mueller having failed to bring down Donald Trump after a year of trying, they know a reckoning is coming.
At this point, there is little doubt that the highest echelons of the FBI and the Justice Department broke their own rules to end the Hillary Clinton "matter," but we can expect the inspector general to document what was done or, more pointedly, not done. It is hard to see how a year-long investigation of this won’t come down hard on former FBI Director James Comey and perhaps even former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who definitely wasn’t playing mahjong in a secret "no aides allowed" meeting with former President Clinton on a Phoenix airport tarmac.
With this report on the way and congressional investigators beginning to zero in on the lack of hard, verified evidence for starting the Trump probe, current and former intelligence and Justice Department officials are dumping everything they can think of to save their reputations.

When they start turning on each other, you'll know Trump has won. IF this happens. Honestly I expect an assassination attempt. They certainly have the capability. All they need is a single corrupt or comprimised person in the WH and it's all over.

^^^ Trump is rumored to carry heat. I don't doubt that he would defend himself. And, I think he still has his own personal security, I'd bet they have a list of possible threats.
[Wash Times] At the end of all the scandal and drama, all of the breathlessly reported lies and false accusations, at the end of all the money wasted on some zany kabuki swamp dance choreographed to the thrumming of giant bullfrogs and yipping of excited coyotes ‐ at the end of all of this ‐ it comes down to precisely what we said it was a year and a half ago.
The Obama administration ‐ with or without the knowledge and direction of President Obama himself ‐ perverted one of the most powerful, clandestine spying operations in the world and used it at the very height of a presidential campaign to spy on political opponents, punish them and, ultimately, silence them through extortion.
If this was orchestrated without the express knowledge of Mr. Obama, then it reveals just how blatantly he instructed by example the weaponizing of the entire federal government to carry out his low, dishonest and unjust ideology. By any means necessary, one might say. Only instead of being driving by visions of justice, these people were driven by visions of undying power.
If this conspiracy was carried out at the express direction of Mr. Obama or other high officials in his administration, then they belong in jail. From unmasking of political opponents, to leaking their names to the press, to killing legitimate investigations, to launching politically motivated witch hunts, a racket of this scale could not have been carried out without some major juice and cover at the top levels of the Department of Justice, FBI and the White House.
[The Hill] Like clockwork, Washington has whipped itself into a frenzy over rumors of a possible retirement on the Supreme Court.
All eyes are on Justice Anthony Kennedy, 81, who reportedly considered calling it quits last spring. As the court’s current term winds to a close, speculation about his plans has again swept the capital, with court watchers searching for clues.
Those who say Kennedy is here to stay ‐ at least for now ‐ point to the fact that he’s already hired his law clerks for the next term, as Above the Law reported.
"I don’t think he would have hired all four clerks for next year if he was seriously entertaining stepping down," said Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond School of Law professor. "I just don’t think it’s going to happen."
But Ian Samuel, a Climenko Fellow and lecturer on law at Harvard Law, who clerked for the late Justice Antonin Scalia, said the small number of cases the court has granted could signal Kennedy is throwing in the towel. The court has only agreed to hear 15 cases so far next term.

[ModernDiplomacy] Muslims take high pride and boast about the critical contributions "Islamic Sciences" to civilization. It would require considerable space just to recite the many so-called crucial discoveries were allegedly ascribed to Muslims’ inventions. We are told that Muslim scientists originated in the Islamic world laid the ground to public hospitals, libraries, and universities. Muslim scientists laid the foundations of agricultural science and invented the coffee. Muslim scientists developed theories of evolution long before Darwin and proposed laws of gravitation that were proved by Newton centuries later on; Muslim scientists invented "flight control surfaces" that are "believed to have come from the medieval Islamic world."
It is amazing, in fact confusing and perplexing to enter Islamic internet sites, for example muslimheritage.com. The impression is that Islam has invented everything on Earth from the beginning of history, and continues to discover and invent everything. Unfortunately, it seems as if according to this site Islam has caused the emergence and the existence of humanity, without Islam human beings would have been perished. Here is the list most of Muslim propagators in the West mention as the greatest and the firsts. Most of them were highly influenced by the Mu’tazila ideology.

As best I can tell, Islam has made ZERO contribution to the betterment of mankind; all it has ever done is destroy, maim and murder.

I think I remember reading that Islam was very good at enslaving smart people who kept being smart and inventing things while living the dhimmi life.
