GOOD NEWS: Historic Gadsden Flag Ruled "Racial Harassment" by EEOC

By William Teach

Do you want to wear a Gadsden Flag symbol to work? You know, the one with coiled rattlesnake bearing the logo “Don’t Treat On Me”? Well, you’re a raaaaacist, via Eugene Volokh:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, among its other functions, decides “hostile work environment” harassment claims brought against federal agencies. In doing so, it applies the same legal rules that courts apply to private employers, and that the EEOC follows in deciding whether to sue private employers. The EEOC has already ruled that coworkers’ wearing Confederate flag T-shirts can be punishable harassment (a decision that I think is incorrect); and, unsurprisingly, this is extending to other political speech as well. Here’s an excerpt from Shelton D. [pseudonym] v. Brennan, 2016 WL 3361228, decided by the EEOC two months ago:

I’ll leave it to you to hit the link for the excerpt of the ruling, and note a few things from Mr. Volokh:

THE FUTURE OF CRIME: The Drone Era, Part I

Drones have taken over the hobbyist world by storm.

Drone tech has been driven by a strange confluence of improvements in miniaturization (nano-technology), increased transistor density, and materials science.

While the majority of drone applications appear to be in more traditional ventures such as aerial photography and exploration, a little-discussed aspect relates to how drones could be leveraged for criminal activities.

Likewise, for firms focused on security, there will be a growing need to create drone countermeasures.

What am I talking about?

SURPRISE: Same Intel Hack Who Helped Cover Up Benghazi Endorses Hillary

By Kenneth R. Timmerman

Hillary has become a spook’s candidate. Former deputy CIA Director Michael Morell, who so conveniently covered her tracks in Benghazi, has now confirmed it.

In a glowing endorsement his friends at The New York Times prominently featured Friday, Morell gave his full-throated support to Clinton, while insisting that he was no partisan and had even voted Republican in the past.

Like an obedient party hack vying for a new job, Morell spouted the party line that Donald Trump was “not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security.”

Those are strong words, especially coming from someone who we are led to believe is an unimpeachable source. But is he?

During Secretary Clinton’s tenure, at least 181 individuals, companies, and foreign governments gave money to the Clinton Foundation while officially lobbying the State Department.

From 2001 to 2015, the Clinton Foundation raised over $2 billion in donations. From February 2001 to May 2015, Bill Clinton gave 637 speeches and made $132,021,691 in speaking fees alone. Hillary gave 92 speeches from February 2013 to March 2015. She was paid $21,648,000. While the Clintons made speeches to Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, it was the foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation that were the most disturbing." --Robert Zapesochny

MARK LEVIN: Anyone surprised that Obama paid $400 million in ransom to the head-cutters in Iran?

By Chris Pandolfo

Friday night on the Mark Levin radio show, Conservative Review’s Editor-in-Chief tore apart Secretary of State John F. Kerry’s statement on the $400 million the Obama administration paid to Iran.

Kerry attempted to spin the Obama administration out of what should be a major scandal and the praetorian guard media was compliant. Well, Levin wouldn’t let him get away with it.

FBI DOCUMENTS REVEAL: Obama IRS Waited Years to Tell the Truth

By Judicial Watch

Following up on some mega disclosures last week, this week we released 105 pages of newly obtained FBI “302” documents revealing that, beginning in 2010 and lasting through the Obama reelection campaign in 2012, the IRS orchestrated a deliberate policy of burying conservative groups’ tax exemption applications in bureaucratic delays.

Interviews with numerous Cincinnati IRS employees in mid-2013 reveal that “Tea Party” group applications were automatically denied approval and assigned to a special “Group 7822” for an extended “inventory” process while waiting for decisions from IRS headquarters in Washington, DC.

CORRUPT TO THEIR CORE: Lessons from the DNC

By Richard Larsen

What a revelatory week this has been for the Democrat Party. From media collusion, to the resignation of the head of the Democrat National Committee on the eve of the convention, the curtain has been pulled back on the inner workings and modus operandi of the DNC.

Just a few days before the convention Julian Assange’s Wikileaks released over 20,000 emails hacked from the DNC. From the publically exposed internal emails what many of us have suspected was verified, that the DNC colludes with the mainstream media on their reporting. As one source described the collusion, “The intimate relationship between the Democratic Party and the media isn’t just a conspiracy theory dreamed up by paranoid conservatives. Turns out, there’s more bias in some newsrooms than there is at a Lois Lerner auditing party. From reporters giving party officials a chance to edit or comment on their stories to outright dictating what questions Democratic officials will be asked on air, the collusion uncovered in the pages of messages is astounding — even for the most cynical media critic.”

Another dubious practice with the mainstream media was also revealed.

RESET: Russia to Build Eight (8) New Nuke Plants in Iran

Because Mr. Obama's partners in peace deserve nuclear capabilities, what with their super-happy-fun humiliation of the U.S. Navy, their spread of terror throughout the world, plus collecting $400 million for American hostages.

"Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant has been built based on Russian technology and we have agreed on construction of eight more nuclear reactors for the country," President Putin said on Friday... Russia built Iran's only operating nuclear power reactor, at Bushehr.

...The Islamic Republic signed the Bushehr contract with Russia in 1995 and the nuclear power plant reached its full capacity by August 2012. It is located about 18 kilometers South of the provincial capital.
But at least the "Death to America" crowd is cooperating with the IAEA:

QOTD: "The “mythbusting” site Snopes has again turned their myopic eyes to the political world and are rushing to the defense of the Obama Administration in what is being called a “cash for hostages” deal.

What’s amazing is the lengths they will go to in protecting Barack Obama, ignoring key facts and presenting the issue as “old news..."

...“Paying ransom to kidnappers puts Americans even more at risk,” Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., said in a statement. “While Americans were relieved by Iran’s overdue release of illegally imprisoned American hostages, the White House’s policy of appeasement has led Iran to illegally seize more American hostages.”

So those are the facts. Yet Snopes conveniently leaves out one key detail: the Iranians demanded this payment as a condition of releasing those four Americans." --Robert Gehl

When It Comes to Islam, Western Leaders Are Either Liars or Idiots

By Raymond Ibrahim

When it comes to the connection between Islam and violence against non-Muslims, one fact must be embraced: the majority of those in positions of leadership and authority in the West are either liars or fools, or both.

No other alternative exists.

THE WRATH OF KHAN: Leftists' devious tactic of shutting down debate with victim-spokespeople.

By Ann Coulter

Khizr Khan, the Muslim "Gold Star Father" who harangued Americans at the Democratic National Convention, with a mute, hijab-wearing wife at his side, is just another in a long string of human shields liberals send out to defend their heinous policies. The "Jersey Girls" were the classic example, first described in that magnificent book Godless: The Church of Liberalism

In order to shut down a debate they're losing, Democrats find victims to make their arguments for them, pre-empting counter-argument by droning on about the suffering of their victim-spokesperson. Alternative opinions must be preceded by proof that the speaker has "sacrificed" more than someone who lost a child, a husband, or whatever. 

Khan's argument, delivered angrily and in a thick Pakistani accent at the DNC, is that "our" Constitution requires us to continue the nonstop importation of Muslims. 

SURPRISE: Most “Refugees” In Europe Are Not Women And Children

By William Teach

Well, gee, color me shocked

Pew’s research shows that four out of 10 refugees in Europe are young men, aged 18 to 34. Approximately three-fourths (73 percent) of refugees entering Europe in total were male, while 53 percent of all refugees were young adults between the ages of 18 and 34. Individuals hailing from war-torn countries making up a large portion of all refugees were also overwhelmingly male. Syrian refugees were 71 percent male, Iraqi refugees were slightly higher at 75 percent, while Afghan refugees were a remarkable 80 percent male. Refugees from these three countries made up over half of Europe’s refugees in 2015.

QOTD: "This nation is the result of politicians being tolerated by the populace. It is the result of economics being delegated to the bankers. It is the result of bureaucrats (apparatchiks) running wild with regulations that amount to laws enforced at the point of a gun or the threat of prison. It is the result of thinking that a fifteen minute investment (to vote) once every couple of years is enough to keep a handle on all of the children in government. It is the equivalent of thinking one might raise a child with a weekend every couple of years. Logically, we all know that won't work, but when it comes to government, we accept it, believe in it, consider it the most important thing we do and it means exactly nothing.

In truth, we, the governed, are tolerated by the politicians. In any other system, they would have just rounded up the trouble-makers and lined them up along a pit. Don't think they wouldn't like to do just that, but they are biding their time. A republic is too unwieldy, with serfs believing they are princes and princes believing they are kings. To really have control, the politicians need a different system.

The new system is in the works. That's what public education has been about since the 60's, it is what Black Lives Matter is all about and why the politicians support it. It is what judicial activism is all about. It is what political correctness is all about. Political correctness is the language of genocide, it is the way to separate "good" people from "bad" people and to reduce humans to categories. From there, the pits can be dug and the defectives identified. " --Christian Mercenary

ISIS BROADCASTS TO THE WORLD WHY IT KILLS: Protip - It's Islam

By Joseph Klein

ISIS is taking umbrage at critics who challenge its claim to represent true Islam. In the latest issue of its magazine Dabiq, published on July 31, the author of an editorial entitled “Why We Hate You and Why We Fight You” repudiated “the Islam-is-a-peaceful-religion crowd.” That crowd would include President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Pope Francis and other world leaders, politicians and opinion makers who have pushed the narrative that ISIS is a deviant cult made up of violent extremists whose acts of terrorism have nothing to do with Islam. To the contrary, claimed the author of the Dabiq piece, “jihad and the laws of the Shari’ah   – as well as everything else deemed taboo by the Islam-is-a-peaceful-religion crowd – are in fact completely Islamic.”

TAKING THE MONEY AMERICANS WON'T TAKE: Illegal Alien Nets $300,000 Scholarship From U. of Chicago

By Anthony Gockowski

The University of Chicago has awarded an illegal immigrant nearly $300,000 in scholarships to attend the prestigious private institution in the fall.

David Rodriguez (a pseudonym used for security purposes) fled to America from Mexico with his family when he was five years old, eventually settling in Tennessee—a state notoriously opposed to open-border immigration policies.

Accordingly, Rodriguez was rendered ineligible for in-state tuition costs, but was able to apply for certain scholarships in other states under the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which grants students from illegal immigrant families temporary visas to remain in America for college.

Now, Rodriguez plans to attend the University of Chicago after the school awarded him $290,872 in scholarship funds, The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports, noting that the financial assistance makes it cheaper for Rodriguez to attend UC than a Tennessee community college.

COOK POLITICAL: The 2016 Race Is Not Over

Cook Political's Amy Walter dissects the various "yuge" leads the polls are showing for Hillary Rodham since the conclusion of LieFest 2016 the Democrat National Convention --- and she comes to a very rational conclusion: the presidential race is still a jump ball.

According to the chatter in Washington and on Twitter today, the election is over. The Donald Trump campaign literally imploded, sending red hot shards of burning metal across the countryside. The campaign staff is in disarray, RNC leaders are apoplectic and looking for an “out clause” on the nomination. Meanwhile, calls from the GOP elites for elected officials to “Dump Trump” continue to grow. But, pardon me for not going along with the narrative. Do I think Trump is a damaged candidate running a terrible campaign? Absolutely. Do I think that he has zero chance to win and has effectively lost the race in August? No.

Here’s why.

SCANTILY CLAD MATCHUP: Melania Trump vs. Hillary Clinton

The New York Post startled readers last week with some edgy pics of Donald Trump's wife from her modeling days.

Turnabout's fair play, folks.

Oh. And you didn't get this from me.
