A longtime Fox News contributor said Tuesday he's leaving the network, and blasted it for becoming a "propaganda machine."

Ralph Peters, a strategic analyst for Fox News and a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, issued a scathing email to colleagues that was sharply critical of the network's rhetoric and support for President Donald Trump.

"Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration."

"Today, I feel that Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers," he said in the email, which was obtained by Buzzfeed. "Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed."

A former spokeswoman at the State Department is the latest to weigh in on Hillary Clinton's comments disparaging Americans who voted for Donald Trump, and she offers a simple message: "go away."

Marie Harf, former spokeswoman for the Obama State Department, appeared on Fox News Sunday to discuss Clinton's recent comments in India while promoting her book What Happened, a tome dedicated to blaming her humiliating 2016 election loss on others.

Reliving the election, Clinton told India Today she "won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward. And his whole campaign - 'Make America Great Again' - was looking backwards."

"You know, you didn't like black people getting rights. You don't like women getting jobs. You don't want to see that Indian-American succeeding more than you are," Clinton said, mocking Trump's campaign and its supporters. "Whatever your problem is, I'm going to solve it."

Comment: Fat chance Killary will listen.

A professor emerita at California State University-East Bay has written a book about how she "escaped" political correctness with the help of evolutionary psychology.

How I Escaped Political Correctness and You Can Too was just published by Dr. Loretta Breuning,who was a professor of Management for over 20 years at California State before she left academia to launch her own think-tank, The Inner Mammalian Institute.

Through the Institute, Breuning spreads awareness of how people can "build power over their mammalian brain" to become happier and healthier-and she contends her new book is an extension of her thinking on that subject.

France moving forward with on-the-spot fines of €90-750 for "sexual harassment" in public

© Laurent Cipriani/APMarlène Schiappa, the minister for gender equality, has said French laws must state that it is forbidden to threaten, intimidate or follow women in the street.
France is to introduce on-the-spot fines for sexual harassment in public places and lengthen the time-limit for filing rape complaints as part of new legislation against sexual violence.

The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has said the aim is to ensure "women are not afraid to be outside".


Comment: Well, now the opposite will be the case. Which is partly the point.


The legislation, which will be presented at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday and go to parliament in the coming months, was prepared before the sexual harassment allegations against the Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein and the #MeToo movement, but it has gained prominence since.

The law will also set a new legal age of consent - 15 - at which a minor is considered able to agree to a sexual relationship with an adult aged over 18. This move follows outrage over a case in which a rape charge was dropped when a court decided an 11-year-old girl had consented to sex with a man more than twice her age.

Comment: More from RT:
"There is some reluctance, some say we will kill the culture of the 'French lover'... if we punish street harassment," Schiappa told Reuters. "But it's the opposite. We want to preserve seduction, chivalry and 'l'amour à la française' by saying what is key is consent. Between consenting adults everything is allowed; we can seduce, talk, but if someone says 'no', it's 'no' and it's final."

On March 19, 2003, US President George Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq. It's a decision which brought an onslaught of violence to the civilian population and has left the nation reeling 15 years later.

Bush declared the military invasion to depose Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and disarm the country, promising civilians that freedom was in sight. "The tyrant will soon be gone. The day of liberation is near," he said.

While the 2003 invasion officially ended on May 1, with a declaration from Bush in front of an infamous 'Mission accomplished' banner, what ensued was 15 years of American troops on the ground and hundreds of thousands of deaths.

The US-led invasion resulted in the killing of more than 115,000 civilians, according to Iraq Body Count. However other sources, taking into account indirect deaths linked to the invasion, put this figure at 500,000.

Two students at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have been arrested for bringing knives to school. A third student was arrested and hospitalized after making threats while brandishing an imitation firearm on Snapchat.

Jordan Salter, 18, reportedly poured a bowl of cereal on another student's head after he made a sexual comment to her friend. Salter then "reached inside of her bra and pulled out a 2 inch knife" when the boy attempted to lean in close to her, according to an arrest form seen by CBS News. She was arrested Tuesday morning.

Gavin Stricker, 19, was arrested later that afternoon for allegedly brandishing a knife on the school bus Monday afternoon. "A nine inch knife was found in his backpack. Stricker was placed into custody and transported to JARC," Broward County Sheriff's office wrote in his arrest form. Stricker has been released from the Juvenile Assessment Center and is scheduled to appear at a court hearing on April 23.

Border patrol agents refusing to turn over wanted felons to California police because sanctuary laws require them to be released

© John Moore/Getty ImagesU.S. Border Patrol agents detain undocumented immigrants from Central America after capturing them in a grapefruit orchard on February 22, 2018 near McAllen, Texas. The group had crossed from Mexico into Texas only moments before.
Border patrol agents are refusing to hand over illegal immigrants with felony warrants to police in California because they can't be sure local authorities will return the criminal aliens to federal custody, according to a top border security official in San Diego.

Rodney Scott, the chief patrol agent in the Border Patrol's San Diego Sector, said earlier this month that California's statewide sanctuary law was undermining normal cooperation between his agency and local law enforcement.

In a little-reported declaration in support of the Department of Justice's March 6 lawsuit against California, Scott recalled multiple instances in which a Border Patrol agent in the San Diego sector determined that releasing a criminal alien to a local law enforcement would likely result in the person being released without notification to federal authorities.

Comment: More libtard insanity.

An underground conservative newspaper at Taylor University was recently pressured into temporarily suspending publication for striking "fear in some students."

The anonymous paper, called Excalibur, was launched in February by a group of professors as a means to articulate "conservative stances boldy, extensively, and without fear of editorial filter," according to a copy of the print edition obtained by Campus Reform.

"We are Taylor University faculty, staff, and students who heartily affirm the historic orthodox theological doctrines, as expressed in the Apostles creed and other classical ecumenical creeds," the founders of the publication declared, claiming that the current campus publications "offer insufficient means to counter leftist trends."

Sinan Antoon wrote a powerful op-ed about the effects of the Iraq war for The New York Times. Here is his conclusion:
No one knows for certain how many Iraqis have died as a result of the invasion 15 years ago. Some credible estimates put the number at more than one million. You can read that sentence again. The invasion of Iraq is often spoken of in the United States as a "blunder," or even a "colossal mistake." It was a crime. Those who perpetrated it are still at large. Some of them have even been rehabilitated thanks to the horrors of Trumpism and a mostly amnesiac citizenry. (A year ago, I watched Mr. Bush on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, dancing and talking about his paintings.) The pundits and "experts" who sold us the war still go on doing what they do. I never thought that Iraq could ever be worse than it was during Saddam's reign, but that is what America's war achieved and bequeathed to Iraqis.
