Post-truth world: Liberal media trying to shift blame for Berkeley riots to right-wing paramilitaries

A nice tolerant liberal fire..

As we wrote on Thursday, Breitbart senior editor and self-described "dangerous faggot" Milo Yiannopoulos was forced to cancel his talk at UC Berkeley after students and Antifa agitators attacked police with fireworks, stormed barricades, set signs on fire and forced the entire campus to shut down. Several bystanders were also attacked and injured over the course of the "anti-fascist" demonstrations.

We expected some quiet self-reflection from the liberal media after violence at UC Berkeley, home of the free speech movement, prevented a conservative from speaking on campus.

Unfortunately, it turns out our expectations are much too high for these people.

Referring to the violent Antifa demonstrators (yes, they were Antifa. They organized a Facebook event to shut down Milo's talk. The Guardian interviewed them as they threw firecrackers and vandalized random things. It was Antifa and they're proud of it), Establishment neo-liberal Robert Reich had the panache to comment on CNN: "I don't want to say factually, but I've heard there was some relationship here between these people and the right-wing movement that is affiliated with Breitbart News."

Donetsk resident has simple request after Ukrainian army kills his family: 'Don't come here!'

Donetsk man pointing to his recently killed mother

The media is busy trying to frame a new Kiev offensive near Donetsk as the latest example of "Russian aggression" (if that sentence doesn't make sense to you, "welcome to 2017").

It's been a tough sell, of course. Especially since even U.S. State Department-funded outlets admit rather openly that Kiev has been quietly advancing eastward, in clear violation of the Minsk protocols.

And there's no shortage of videos showing what's reallyhappening in East Ukraine.

Below is a powerful but difficult to watch (watch it anyway) video made by journalist Patrick Lancaster, which shows a Donetsk man pointing to his recently killed mother, and explaining how he feels about Kiev's plans to "liberate" Donbass.

Heroin use fuels surge of emergency room visits among California millennials

California's millennials continue to flood hospital emergency departments because of heroin, a trend that has increased steadily statewide and in Los Angeles and Orange counties over the past five years, according to the latest figures.

The state data released last week show that in the first three months of 2016, 412 adults age 20 to 29 went to emergency departments due to heroin. That's double the number for the same time period in 2012.

Overall, emergency department visits among heroin users of all ages increased, but the sharpest was among the state's young adults. About 1,500 emergency department visits by California's millennials poisoned by heroin were logged in 2015 compared with fewer than 1,000 in 2012.

Emergency responders, those who work in recovery programs, and parents of children addicted to heroin say the figures are unsurprising given the increase in prescription painkiller abuse that likely has led more young people to use heroin.

Liberal mob and Hollywood trolling Trump, could bring down US democracy

The Left's non-stop temper tantrum since Trump's election win is revealing an ugly underbelly of the Democratic Party - think Rosie O'Donnell mud-wrestling with a pig - where a rogues' gallery of provocateurs aims to delegitimize conservative rule.

First, some necessary background: for 15 uninterrupted years of US military escapades abroad, eight of those years on Obama's watch, the Liberal Left could not be awakened from its somnambulist slumber, not even to hold a meaningful antiwar protest in the spirit of their Vietnam-era forebears.

University students, for example, no longer concerned about conscription since the US military became a professional fighting force in 1973, rarely speak out against the plight of foreign civilians trapped in US-made wars - America's most lucrative export industry bar none. Sadly and tellingly, these demonstration dropouts would be at pains to name a single modern anti-war song to match the hundreds of comparable tracks heard around the nation during the Vietnam War.

For eight carefree years under Obama's tedious tutelage, these precious snowflakes threw their collective damp mass behind radical cultural experiments, like legalizing marijuana, institutionalizing same-sex marriages and opening the door to transgender bathrooms from sea to shining sea. America's Founding Fathers must have been watching over these solemn, patriotic endeavors in God's Country with tremendous pride and equanimity.

However, when a Republican real estate mogul named Trump crashed the impossible party, Liberals hit the streets running and screaming. Suddenly, the Left had found common cause to get out of the house and smash stuff, as they did when Milo Yiannopoulos, a right-leaning editor at Breitbart News, was forced to cancel an appearance at UC-Berkeley - ironically the home of the Free Speech Movement - after protesters broke campus windows, burned trees and hurled projectiles at police.

The underlining message from these social justice warriors is that Liberals love the idea of other individuals freely expressing their thoughts, but only if those thoughts support the basis of their own thoughts. I may be mistaken, but that sounds disturbingly close to the rationale behind Nazi book-burning events and other such historical smashups.

Karina Vetrano

Cops caught a suspect Saturday in the murder of Karina Vetrano, the beautiful jogger whose brutal strangulation last summer — in the high weeds of Spring Creek Park in Queens — had transfixed the city.

Officials did not immediately release the name of the suspect, but sources told The Post he is in his 20s and lives in a housing project in East New York, Brooklyn, a neighborhood just west of her home in Howard Beach.

The suspect had been on police radar for a while, sources told The Post.

Mystery death of British millionaire killed by Ukrainian internet bride deepens as body returned to the UK with organs missing

The body of a British millionaire allegedly killed in a plot involving his Ukrainian internet bride was returned to the UK with organs missing, it was revealed last night.

Barry Pring was mown down in the eastern European country by a car at 80mph in 2008.

An inquest last week ruled Devon-born Barry, 47, was unlawfully killed - and heard claims his wife Ganna Ziuzina, 38, was behind it.

It has now emerged that Mr Pring's body was returned to the UK without his kidneys or liver, according to The Sun.

His body has also been embalmed, meaning his blood could not be tested.

Mr Pring is believed to have complained about a burning sensation while eating his final meal, just hours before he was mown down.

This had led to speculation that the British businessman may have been poisoned, the newspaper reported.

Comment: Society has played a role in promulgating the myth of the compassionate and tender female and people hold the belief that all women are pleasant and agreeable -- it's the males of the species who warrant suspicion. All women are kind and in touch with their emotions and the emotions of others. They're all nurturing caregivers with a strong mothering instinct. Right? Wrong! It's because of these false beliefs that people can be blindsided when a Nasty Woman crosses their path.

Listen to the recent episode of the Health and Wellness Show as the hosts discuss these women, their tactics and prey and how we can protect ourselves from these she-devils.

Social media hive mind: How Twitter 'throttles' content that disagrees with their political views

You might have clicked on my misleading tweet to get to this page. I had to disguise the content so Twitter wouldn't throttle it.

Here's why...

This morning I tweeted a link to a great video that describes in detail how Twitter "throttles" the tweets of any content that disagrees with their political views. The video describes how Twitter gives a fake message that some tweets are no longer available, to discourage you from clicking to them. The tweets still exist, and you can access them by directly clicking the links in the tweets, but most people would not think to do that.

If you don't think that's a real thing, here's my tweet about the video. They did it to me. And this is common for my tweets about Trump or climate science. They throttle me to prevent them from going viral. And it only happens with certain types of content.

"America's Friends and Enemies": The perception of Russia in the US - poll

RT
Sat, 04 Feb 2017 22:26 UTC

The perception of Russia in the US appears to be close to that of the Cold War era, according to a recent YouGov poll. A third of respondents said they viewed the Russian Federation as "unfriendly," while a fifth regard it as an "enemy."

The survey, entitled "America's Friends and Enemies," was conducted by the YouGov pollster between January 28 and February 1, and involved "adults living in the United States."

Out of a total of 144 states in the poll, every respondent was given a list of 15 random countries and asked a question: "Do you consider the countries listed below to be a friend or an enemy of the United States?"

Cracking down on dissent: 10 new bills proposed to limit protests

Republicans in statehouses across the U.S. are devising legal tools to regulate public dissent as demonstrators take to the streets to protest President Donald Trump in waves not seen since the Vietnam War.

At least 10 bills to limit protests have been introduced in recent months. North Dakota is considering protection for motorists who unintentionally kill protesters blocking roads. Washington state Senator Doug Ericksen would punish those who "disrupt our economy." Next week, North Carolina Senator Dan Bishop will call for imprisoning people who intimidate ex-officials, after former Governor Pat McCrory was pursued down a Washington, D.C., alley by a group chanting "Shame!"

"That extends over the borderline of decency," Bishop said in an interview. Though such demonstrators are "constitutionally entitled" to express their views, he said, they aren't free to threaten violence.

Many of the bills, which critics say impinge on constitutional freedoms, were filed before Trump's election in response to Black Lives Matter and oil-pipeline protests. They've gained fresh relevance amid global women's marches and nationwide airport demonstrations over Trump's immigration ban. On Wednesday night, black-clad protesters set fires and smashed glass at the University of California at Berkeley, forcing the cancellation of a speech by a conservative writer.

Poll finds 22% of Germans consider US as reliable a partner as Russia

People protest against U.S. President Donald Trump in Berlin, Germany, November 12, 2016

Less than a quarter of Germans consider the US, under Donald Trump's leadership, to be a reliable partner their country can trust according to a recent survey. Roughly the same number of respondents believe Germany can cooperate with Russia.

The Infratest dimap study reveals that German public trust in the US has dived to a record low, with only 22 percent of Germans supporting Trump's policies, just two weeks after the Republican assumed office, Der Welt reports.

The new figures represent a 37 percent drop of trust compared to a similar poll conducted just before the US presidential election. In November 2016, 59 percent of Germans trusted the US compared to 22 percent now.

The new survey also placed German confidence in Russia on almost the same level with the US. Only 21 percent of responders said they believe Russia to be a reliable partner. While also low, that number is nothing compared to the distrust towards Turkey, which has the miserly support of only four percent of Germans.
