Conservative vs. Liberal The epithet conservative or liberal is used to describe political and economic views and affiliations. The meaning of "conservative" or "liberal" could be different in different contexts - social, economic and political. They also differ in usage in different countries and over time Comparison chart http://www.diffen.com/difference/Conservative_vs_Liberal What explains the idiocy of the liberal elite? It’s their education Enough! Enough! For months, the so-called liberal elite has been writing articles, having radio and TV discussions, giving sermons (literally) and making speeches in which it has struggled to understand those strange creatures: ordinary people. The elite is bemused by what drives these people to make perverse decisions about Brexit and Trump. Are they racist, narrow-minded or just stupid? Whatever the reason, ordinary people have frankly been a disappointment. Time, ladies and gentlemen, please! Instead, let’s do the opposite. Let’s try to explain to ordinary people what drives the liberal elite. The elite persists with some very strange and disturbing views. Are its members brainwashed, snobbish or just so remote from real life that they do not understand how things work? What is the pathology of liberal eliteness? https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/01/what-explains-the-idiocy-of-the-liberal-elite-its-their-education/ Chicagoans Scourge Obama, Rahm Emanuel: ‘This Mayor Does Not Care About Black People’ People are finally waking up to the fact that Democratic policies have failed them. This is a video not to be missed as it proves that there’s been an awakening across America that Democratic policies have failed inner city communities for far too long. MSNBC’s Chris Hayes hosted a “Chicago in the Crosshairs” townhall to find out why the city has become such a hellhole and what he heard from some of them literally left him visibly blown away. That’s because Hayes heard strong and unexpected criticisms of liberal favorites Barack Obama and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel from the mouths of black people. http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/chicagoans-scourge-obama-rahm-emanuel-mayor-does-not-care-about-black-people ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEbuGbO_fC4

How Japan’s Kamikaze Attacks Went From Last Resort at Pearl Harbor to WWII Strategy On the infamous morning of December 7, 1941, Japanese fighter pilots made final arrangements for their deaths. The aviators penned farewell letters and slipped them into envelopes along with locks of hair and clipped fingernails that their loved ones could use for their funerals. After a moment of prayer at makeshift Shinto shrines, the airmen shattered the silence with two sharp handclaps before downing ritual sake shots. https://www.history.com/news/pearl-harbor-japan-kamikaze-world-war-ii FBI Data Shows Knives Kill More People Than Rifles Two recent shootings in Atlanta, Georgia and Boulder, Colorado are fueling team-left’s long desired ban on “assault-style” rifles like the AR-15. But, according to data from the FBI, far more murders are committed with handguns, knives, or even bare hands. The most recent data from 2019 shows that although firearms do account for the majority of homicides - 10,258 - the number of homicides committed using a rifle - 364 - is much smaller, according to the Daily Caller. https://humanevents.com/2021/03/24/fbi-data-shows-knives-kill-more-people-than-rifles/ More People Killed with Fists, Feet, Than Rifles The FBI released its Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Monday showing that more people were killed in 2020 with fists and feet than were killed with rifles of all kinds. The UCR shows that 454 people were killed with rifles in 2020 while 657 were killed with “personnel weapons,” which are defined as “hands, fists, feet, etc.” The UCR figures show a similar situation was occurred in 2019, when 375 people were killed with rifles but 639 were killed with “hands, fists, feet, etc.” In 2018 the number of people killed with “hands, fists, feet, etc.,” was more than twice the number killed with rifles of all kinds. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/09/27/fbi-people-killed-fists-feet-rifles/ Trump gag order in election case is 'unconstitutional': law professor Former President Trump’s gag order in his Washington, D.C. 2020 election interference case is "unconstitutional," George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley claimed Friday. On Friday, the gag order was temporarily lifted by U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, so the judges can consider Trump’s request for a longer pause on the restrictions while his appeals play out. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-gag-order-election-case-unconstitutional-law-professor ACLU Backs Trump, Calls Gag Order ‘Unconstitutional’ in Court Brief Former President Donald Trump has an unlikely defender in his fight against a gag order in U.S. District Court in D.C. — the American Civil Liberties Union. On Wednesday, the ACLU filed a friend of the court brief on Trump’s behalf, in which they called the gag order “Unconstitutional.” In the brief (which can be read here via Politico), the ACLU defended Trump’s right to speak on First Amendment grounds. https://www.mediaite.com/news/aclu-backs-trump-calls-gag-order-unconstitutional-in-court-brief/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUVkjlqSl2s

Today Brian Lovig Talks about Medical Marijuana In 1996, California voters passed Proposition 215, making the Golden State the first in the union to allow for the medical use of marijuana. Since then, 22 more states, the District of Columbia and Guam have enacted similar laws. A total of 23 states, the District of Columbia and Guam now allow for comprehensive public medical marijuana and cannabis programs. Recently approved efforts in eleven states allow use of "low THC, high cannabidiol (CBD)" products for medical reasons in limited situations or as a legal defense. Those programs are not counted as comprehensive medical marijuana programs but are listed as passed in Table 2. NCSL uses criteria similar to other organizations to determine if a program is "comprehensive": http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/state-medical-marijuana-laws.aspx Is Bourque's Lawyer Nuts? The case of Moncton Mountie killer Justin Bourque should spark renewed discussion about firearms regulation in Canada, according to his lawyer. David Lutz made the comments on Friday after Bourque received five life terms with no chance of parole for 75 years for killing three RCMP officers and wounding two others. "This tragedy could not have occurred, but for that gun," Lutz said, referring to an M305 .308 rifle, one of the weapons Bourque used in the June 4 shootings. RCMP also recovered a Mossberg 500 12-gauge shotgun. Lutz told reporters Bourque should not have been able to buy the semi-automatic rifle, which has a range of 250 metres with pinpoint accuracy. His client — a "young fella who was lost in society," and "got himself immersed in right-wing, gun nut culture" — was the one who pulled the trigger, but part of the blame also rests with Canada's gun laws, he said. "This gun did not belong in Canada," said Lutz, a longtime member of the Liberal Party. "This is a gun that went to Vietnam. This is a gun that was used by snipers. People in Canada don't need those kind of guns." http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/justin-bourque-s-lawyer-slams-gun-laws-1.2820233 NRA Gets Results in Elections In its best election in over a decade, the National Rifle Association scored a 91.2 percent win rate in the House and Senate races it jumped into, and also found the bull’s-eye in state races, according to the Second Amendment group. “Our members came out in droves and voted for their rights and their freedom,” NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam told Secrets. “This was one of the most successful election cycles in a decade,” he added. Overall, the Northern Virginia-based lobby and education group spent about $35 million, more than in many past elections, and saw 229 of 251 candidates endorsed by the NRA and its NRA-Political Victory Fund win.

Rep. Elise Stefanik files ethics complaint against judge in Trump's civil fraud trial Rep. Elise Stefanik, the House GOP conference chair, has filed a judicial ethics complaint against the judge presiding over the New York civil fraud case against Donald Trump, accusing Judge Arthur Engoron of “weaponized lawfare” against the former president, and calling on the judge to recuse himself. Engoron has exhibited “clear judicial bias” against Trump, including by telling Trump’s attorney that the former president is “just a bad guy” whom New York Attorney General Letitia James “should go after,” Stefanik, R-N.Y., said in a letter to the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct. She said the judge has failed to honor Trump’s due process rights, concerns that she said are exacerbated by the former president’s position as the front-runner for the presidential nomination. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/stefanik-files-ethics-complaint-judge-engoron-trump-trial-rcna124554 Billion-dollar renovation of the Supreme Court of Canada running over budget A $1-billion renovation project for the classic Supreme Court of Canada complex in downtown Ottawa is running over budget, with no final cost figure currently available, says the federal department overseeing the effort. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-billion-dollar-renovation-of-the-supreme-court-of-canada-running-over/ 'Alarming': Amazon's Alexa reportedly says 2020 election was stolen from Trump If you ask an Amazon Alexa about the 2020 election, there's a chance it will tell you it was stolen via fraud, according to a report on Saturday. The Washington Post reported that, when it's asked about "fraud in the race — in which President Biden defeated former president Donald Trump with 306 electoral college votes — the popular voice assistant said it was 'stolen by a massive amount of election fraud.'" The site purportedly cites Rumble, a video-streaming service used by conservatives. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/alarming-amazons-alexa-reportedly-says-2020-election-was-stolen-from-trump/ar-AA1hR2XV US ornithological society says dozens of birds will be renamed Several bird species in the US and Canada will receive new names based on their habitats and traits rather than people's names, the American Ornithological Society has announced. After years of controversy, the society will remove all human names for bird species, including those linked to people with racist histories. Their goal is to create a more inclusive environment for bird-watching fans. Seventy to 80 birds will be renamed. "Exclusionary naming conventions developed in the 1800s, clouded by racism and misogyny, don't work for us today, and the time has come for us to transform this process and redirect the focus to the birds, where it belongs," the society's CEO, Judith Scarl, said in a statement. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67298103 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwS3h8gasWc
