THIS WEEK’S NEWS
Donald Trump has grown to a 5% lead over Hillary Clinton in
Rasmussen Reports’ first weekly White House Watch survey.
Billionaires who spurned Trump during the primaries are now
rallying around the presumptive Republican presidential nominee — pledging six-
and seven-figure donations for the general election.
Trump unveils potential Supreme Court picks including conservative
firebrand judge with hilarious Twitter feed, senator´s brother and ex-wife of
an anti-Trump radio host.
Liberals in a panic….Washington Post assigns army of 20 to
dig into ´every phase´ of Trump´s life.
On the Hannity show, Trump dropped the big one on the
Hillary Clinton campaign, openly accusing former President Bill Clinton of rape.
And the liberal media reacted in the most predictable way, by claiming it has
no basis in fact. “The rape accusation is decades-old and discredited,” ABC’s
Tom Llamas stated, misleading the audience during Thursday’s World News
Tonight.
“Excuse me?” says Juanita Broadderick.
Former President Bill Clinton was a much more frequent flyer
on a registered sex offender’s infamous jet than previously reported, with
flight logs showing the former president taking at least 26 trips aboard the
“Lolita Express” -- even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at
least five of the flights, according to records obtained by FoxNews.com.
As Hillary sinks in the polls, sharply critical pieces about
Bernie Sanders have appeared in progressive outlets such as Mother Jones,
Talking Points Memo and Daily Kos within the past 48 hours.
Hillary Clinton’s emails reveal that she intended the
overthrow of Moammar Qaddafi to be the crown jewel of her tenure as Secretary
of State. It was to be her principal credential when she made her inevitable
run for the presidency. But Clinton and Barack Obama made the inexplicable
decision to overthrow Libya’s government without having a plan for what would
succeed it, and Libya turned into a disaster.
The Obama
administration will send a letter to every public school district in the
country telling them to allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker
rooms that match their chosen gender identity, as opposed to their birth
certificate.
A shocking editorial in the Charlotte Observer counseled
young girls to get over the "discomfort" they feel at the sight of
male genitalia when transgender facilities are allowed in North Carolina.
A female security guard working at a Washington, D.C.
grocery store was arrested for physically escorting a man out of the women’s
restroom after he refused to leave. Yes,
it was the security guard that was arrested.
Obama’s new Secretary of the Army is openly gay.
Starting in July, Florida schools will give students an
opt-out option for the Pledge of Allegiance in their student handbooks and an
atheist group is working to make sure it’s in the pages.
So why is the official Twitter account for the president of
the United States publicly following adult movie stars?
President Obama’s national security adviser said Wednesday
there are too many white people in key government posts, endangering national
security “because they all think alike.”

Democrats on the Federal Election Commission, following

voted in secret to regulate conservative text messages despite a staff

“It is becoming
harder and harder to tell the two major political parties apart. Today in
Washington, all but three Senate Republicans on the Armed Services Committee
voted to require your daughters to sign up for selective service and be drafted
in times of war. Only Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, and Mike Rounds opposed the measure,
which was offered up by the Democrats.”

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Sheer lunacy: That’s the only way to describe the Obama
administration’s decision to enforce the full “trans rights” agenda on the
nation — in public accommodations, and in school bathrooms and locker rooms.
Yes, polite society in progressive precincts has embraced
the idea that those with non-standard “gender identities” deserve the same
protections as racial and other minorities.
But that idea surely never entered the mind of any lawmaker
who voted for (or against!) the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or any of the other
laws Team Obama is citing as authority for its actions.
And while Americans are good with “live and let live,” most
will be outraged at Uncle Sam ordering their local school to let biological
boys change in the girls’ high-school locker room.
Yet the Justice and Education departments on Friday sent out
a letter directing schools to let every student use the “facilities” that fits
his/her “identity.” In fact, Education officials had already pushed many
schools to make the locker-room concession.
It’s madness: As a practical
matter, administrators should figure out the best accommodation for their
particular school, in their particular town. The right answer in Scarsdale
won’t necessarily be the best solution for Newark. Transgender folks are a
minuscule minority; the question’s not even relevant to most of the country.
It’s insane to put this issue atop the agenda when countless schools in this
nation don’t even provide a decent education.
Look: The vast majority of
Americans still see two sexes, male and female, with the differences obvious
and biological. Most will humor the rare person who feels otherwise — and won’t
be bullied to go any further.
Maybe the progressives will
manage to re-educate us all into seeing things their way, but they’ve got a
long, long way to go. Trying to force their views on everyone now is just
begging for populist fury.
The more so, since the feds are
starting with schools, when countless parents are already outraged at other
ham-handed diktats from America’s elites.
Pull your social-engineering crap
with your own damn kids, and leave ours alone.
Miniter:
One
of the rare defeats progressives have suffered in the last couple of
generations occurred in the 1970s, when the states refused to ratify the Equal
Rights Amendment, due in some large measure to the belief that the ERA would abolish
separate male and female toilet facilities.
So
why have liberals chosen to force the issue of "transgender" rights
down our throats and trigger another (and possibly) losing fight over loo
access?
The
answer is not only that liberals are drawn to the issue like salmon to their
home stream, but that they’re afraid to leave it be. But not for the
reason you think. Indeed, they couldn't care less about the hurt feelings
of the sexually confused. What they're targeting is the mindset of those
men who aren't at all confused.
After
all, you have to remember that their goal has always been a state of being that
doesn't admit any identity for oneself other than that provided by the
government. Just as many Britons cannot see themselves as hospital patients
other than with the NHS, or third-generation welfare recipients in a Bed-Stuy
public housing project cannot imagine themselves as a human being not supported
by social services. And so, in this great liberal Game of Drones,
everything that provides an alternate identity must go. Christianity,
regional identities like the South’s, the vanity of European history,
traditional family with its rock-hard loyalties, scholarship and its “ability
status,” pride in economic success in the private economy, until eventually
even the idea that you have a conclusive and individual sexual identity
established by nature is to be delegitimized and masculinity abolished –
replaced by some determination of sex, or the lack of it, by some law or
government regulation.
At
which point the left-wing liberal world is finally made safe. Safe in the
almost exact same fashion Middle Eastern harem keepers were safe once their
male servants and guards were all castrated.
Insane,
but there it is. The fight about “transgenders” is really not a struggle
about them at all. Instead, it’s part and parcel, warp and woof, of the
left’s larger struggle: to get your...well, to get your you-know-what.

FROM OTHER COLUMNS
"It would be good news if the Department of Education
just wasted the money it gets from our hard-earned taxes. But it uses the money
to do real damage. Nothing could provide a better example than the newly issued
guidance letter that the Department of Education, jointly with the Justice
Department, just sent to public school districts across the country,
threatening to cut of federal funds if public schools do not comply with
guidelines for treatment of so-called transgender students. The first paragraph
of the directive provides a toll-free phone number to call if you don't know
the English language well enough to read the letter and then serves up this
same paragraph in six different languages. Our own Department of Education is
apparently of the view that familiarity with the English language is not among
the responsibilities of American citizens. ... To repeat, the Department of
Education is not just wasting the billions it controls. It does substantial
damage by forcing its own left-wing views on the nation's families. The
Education department should be shut down and these funds should either be
returned to taxpayers and or sent to parents with children in public schools to
be used toward vouchers to allow them to choose where to send their children to
school."

"I believe that the bathroom-usage issue constitutes a
far more intrusive assault on our traditional morés than same-sex marriage.
Many Americans who have zero inclination toward homosexuality were willing to
accept same-sex marriage on the grounds that what other people do is their
business and not our own, and that two gay people getting married isn't going
to infringe upon one's own personal space. The bathroom issue is obviously
different: Going to the bathroom is one of the most personal and private acts a
person does; it is a situation in which individuals can feel particularly
vulnerable; and now the government wants to take away that feeling of personal
privacy and safety."

Obama´s
transgender regime has officially carried its demands for your child´s
compliance with sexual deviancy to the level of an imperial directive: Public
schools must permit transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms
consistent with their gender identity, according to an Obama administration
directive….. The sudden (but long anticipated and well prepared) drive for
transgender bathrooms in public facilities is part of progressivism´s final
assault on modesty and personal privacy. Train children from an early age that
sexual behavior is a harmless physical gratification, no more important than
scratching an itch; teach them that there are no consequences
Fernandez: A German
friend once remarked that Hitler was only the second most destructive thing his
country had unleashed upon the world. Worse by far, he said, were the ideas of
Karl Marx. The notion an idea could be more destructive than fleets of bombers
and Panzer divisions is a large claim but there is evidence in support of it.
John Walters says that in sheer destructiveness Hitler beats Marx only if you
add the Kaiser´s war. If you add famine into the equation, Marx beats Hitler,
Tojo and the Kaiser put together. "
