    DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon
    Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – President Trump, as only he can do it, got onto his Twitter account Tuesday evening and trolled the fake journalists at CNN and MSNBC who helped promote one of the fake Russian-staged anti-Trump rallies on November 12, 2016: “Bad ratings @CNN & @MSNBC got scammed when they covered the anti-Trump Russia rally wall-to-wall. They probably knew it was Fake News but, because it was a rally against me, they pushed it hard anyway. Two really dishonest newscasters, but the public is wise!” Never. Stop. Tweeting....

    US Defense Watch ^ | February 20, 2018 | Ray Starmann
    General James “Mad Dog” Mattis, was apparently the second coming of Patton, a real world walking, talking version of Frederick the Great’s maxim, “L’Audace, L’Audace, Toujours L’Audace”, a well-read grunt who spit napalm and ingested cut glass, a Marine who made Dan Daly and Chesty Puller look like campus snowflakes. During more than 30 years on active duty as a gyrene, the Mad Dog said many classic statements, but these were some of his favorites: ‘It’s quite fun to shoot them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people.’ In 2005, he offered this...

    American Greatness ^ | 20 Feb 2018 | Bill Kilgore
    Last week’s mass shooting at a Florida high school reminds us yet again that to live well—to live free—requires men with chests. That is a fundamental requirement of free government. One young man in particular, Peter Wang, died with his chest out for all to see. As the Daily Mail reports, Wang was killed while “holding the door for classmates, dressed in his grey ROTC uniform.” For his heroism, the Army posthumously awarded Wang with the JROTC Medal of Heroism. In addition, the United States Military Academy appointed Wang to West Point’s class of 2025, as it was his dream...

    Back in the day, there was no school shootings. We were warned back in 2000 by Dr. Peter Breggin, M.D. when he testified in front of the House Education and the Workforce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Not only about the damage that prescribed narcotics can cause in children that really don't need them but also the nefarious politics pushed by the pharmaceutical industry in concert with lazy parents and educators that would much rather drug kids as to avoid any kind of education reforms that would require accountability.
  • Russian Orthodoxy Losing Out to Protestantism in Muslim North Caucasus

    Window on Eurasia ^ | 2017 | P. Goble and R. Geryev
    Despite or, in some cases, because of the support it receives from the government and the new “anti-extremism” laws deployed against others, the Russian Orthodox Church is increasingly isolated from Russians in the North Caucasus and is losing many of them to Protestant groups who are also attracting some Muslims as well. Ruslan Gereyev, the director of the Center for Islamic Research on the North Caucasus, says that the major reason for Orthodoxy’s failure and Protestantism’s success is that “unlike Protestant and Muslim preachers, representatives of the Russian Orthodox church do not reach out to the population. Because they are...

    As Elizabeth Taylor once said: “I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.” It’s a good philosophy, because when it comes to the world’s biggest, rarest and most extraordinary gemstone discoveries, no one—not even billionaire President Donald Trump—could afford the possession. We’re not talking about the average diamond engagement ring that sets you back $4,000 and was probably grown in a lab. And we’re not talking about the $3,000 ruby that was probably treated. We’re talking about the rarest gemstones in the world, like the ‘Guinness Emerald’ that came...

The op-ed, which I co-authored with Larry Alexander of the University of San Diego Law School, appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer on Aug. 9 under the headline, “Paying the Price for the Breakdown of the Country’s Bourgeois Culture.” It began by listing some of the ills afflicting American society: ......

    Clare Schexnyder wants students and teachers across the country to leave their classrooms together, to protest every child and educator who has been killed in a school shooting and promote gun control.And the Georgia mother is getting much press about her National School Walkout as well as swelling support from all corners of the country. She is getting help from the organizers of the Women’s March too.Certainly a red flag. But curiously when reporters and Schexnyder discuss the activist’s plans and background they seem to always omit the fact she worked nearly two decades at CNN as a senior...

    The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) If you listen to Rush Limbaugh – I personally do so 2-3 times a week, when my schedule permits – in today’s first hour you heard him give an update of what is going on with the case of General Mike Flynn. If you read the Campaign Update, you’d have read all about all of that stuff on Valentine’s day. Just sayin’. Ok, in fairness to Rush, there has been one important event in the case that took place since February 14: On Friday, February 16, Judge Emmet Sullivan issued an...

    IWB ^ | Chris Black
    Here’s another angle of a story that’s slowly becoming more outlandish and bizarre by the day, and I am referring to the Democrat lapdog left wing establishment media’s talking point, which has been beaten to death over the last year: Trump colluded with Russia, even if one year into Mueller’s probe there’s not a scintilla of evidence in this regard. Well, according to the indictments issued by Robert Mueller via the last batch of the 13 Russian nationals and 3 Russian “entities” (media companies) that is,  the claim is that there was a factory of basically internet trolls who allegedly...

    Since April 20, 1999, when 12 students and a teacher were gunned down at a high school in Colorado, I have covered most mass shootings in America in some capacity, and I have never seen anything like these Parkland kids. This one seems different—these young survivors are speaking out, and calling out the politicians who have done nothing for the last two decades. When Columbine struck, I remember spending all afternoon and most of the first evening outside the school with students, and policy was the last thing on anyone’s mind. I was with them every day that week, and...

    FR ^ | conservatism_IS_compassion
    Judge Sullivan is enforcing the Brady rule against the Mueller prosecution of Flynn. But in general only a judge can give a Brady warning which puts teeth in the Brady rule. IANAL but I wonder: Can AG Sessions order the Muller Special Persecutor team to submit to Brady rule sanctions even if the judge in a particular case does not impose it? If the Brady rule is SCOTUS precedent, what prevents any criminal defense - in a Mueller case or any other - from asking the judge to issue a Brady warning to the prosecution? And if the judge...

    American Thinker ^ | 18 February, 2018 | Jack Cashill
    Special Counsel Robert Mueller laid out the law clearly in his indictment of numerous Russian nationals and groups for their attempts to interfere in the 2016 election. As the indictment notes, the U.S. Department of Justice administers the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA). FARA establishes a reporting protocol for foreign nationals, including non-government individuals "attempting to influence U.S. public opinion, policy, and law." To its credit, the FBI seems to have done a good job tracking Russian individuals and entities that violated FARA even if there was no evidence of collusion with the Trump campaign or Russian hacking of the...

    Please refer to the article: http://investmentwatchblog.com/update-to-billy-jack-haynes-linda-ives-fight-for-justice-arkansas-clinton-the-train-deaths/ I have an amazing update to this story. Linda Ives is a remarkable human being, who covers every base possible to find the truth in her son’s murder. As she says, “his name was Kevin Ives.” She does connect this to the murder of Seth Rich, in the fact we do not yet know who murdered Seth. Linda reminds us all, we do not realize that there is murder in politics. Another aspect that Kevin and Seth have in common, they are both in a better place than we are. However, no one should...

    Never mind that the FBI failed to heed and follow up repeated and explicit warning about Nikolas Cruz before his shooting rampage in Parkland, Florida. Never Mind the FBI was too busy chasing phantom Russian collusion to locate a future killer that any nerd living in their parent’s basement could have located with ease. According to mental health professional Jimmy Kimmel, Trump made Parkland happen by rescinding Obama administration regulations barring the mentally ill from getting guns: Kimmel kept addressing Trump by adding that politicians and the president like to say that mass shootings are a mental health issue.

    On Sunday, the Israel Security Agency (also known as Shin Bet or Shabak for short) announced the arrest of members of an Islamic Jihad terror cell that planned to assassinate Israel’s Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman, according to JTA. According to the Shin Bet, the six members of the cell planned to place an explosive charge on the minister’s route and appealed to terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip to receive funding for the attack. The terrorist ringleaders were identified as 25-year-old Mahmud Awad al-Asakra from the village of Rafida near Bethlehem (Judea) and 32-year-old Muhammad’ Ali Ibrahim ‘Asakara also from...

    SC Meuller has made a few recent Indictments. After months of "nothing" including a few to be overturned, it is time to put up or shut up. All speculate Meuller will be quitting his SC soon. Then he Indicts 13 unknown Russians. Today he indicted a lawyer for lying. These sound too simple. Meuller's lastest Indictments have opened the door into the Obama/Hillary/Deep State. It has to be intentional. Charging a lawyer with hiding/destroying ONE email points out the Hillary 33,000 email issue. The russians opens up the Steele connections puts them in play. Just in time for AG Sessions...

The first of an estimated 13,000  employees began to move in early this year. Despite it’s massive size,it is esthetically very pleasing both externally,and internally.But like most Apple design-obsessed products that are wrapped in a beautiful package, there are a few operational flaws that need to be worked out. Specifically, employees keep walking into the massive internal safety glass walls that are everywhere.The entire project was designed by the British architectural firm Foster + Partners in conjunction with Apple’s...
