Over the weekend, Wood told Mark Levin, “CNN was probably more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas than The Washington Post.” That made it pretty clear that a lawsuit against the network was coming. Today, Nick Sandmann’s attorneys, L. Lin Wood and Todd McMurty have filed a second lawsuit stemming from the Covington affair. This one is aimed at CNN and it’s even bigger than the one previously filed against the Washington Post. From Fox News: A lawsuit worth $275 million was filed against CNN on Tuesday over the network’s alleged “vicious” attack against Covington Catholic High School...

A Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate is facing an onslaught from radical leftist groups who contend his religious beliefs should disqualify him from serving as a judge. Brian Hagedorn, who currently sits on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, has been accused of being anti-gay because he helped launch a Christian grade school that requires students, faculty and parents to follow Christian teachings. The Augustine Academy bars students, parents and teachers from “participating in immoral sexual activity.” The school also defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman. In other words, the Christian school adheres to orthodox Christian teachings...

Call this the shoe that didn’t drop. In a court filing late last night, the special counsel’s team filed a sentence recommendation regarding Michael Flynn, a supposed lynchpin of potential Russian collusion. Robert Mueller’s attorneys urged the federal judge to go easy on Flynn, thanks to his cooperation with their investigation, and claimed it was now “complete.”That means we won’t be seeing any collusion theories connecting through the man once thought to be a prime suspect for it: Michael Flynn’s cooperation in Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation is complete, lawyers for the special counsel said in a Tuesday night report...

This is what happens when you go in front of a Trump-hating liberal judge. Manafort would never be in the court room if not for working for Trump for a couple months. After she gives him a death sentence he’ll be taken in shackles and chains to Dannemora where he will die in a couple years.

On Thursday (March 14th), the Oregon Health Authority is going to vote on a proposal that just about everyone who treats chronic pain thinks is a bad idea. Essentially, the proposal would force Oregon Medicaid patients off opioid medications without their consent. This vote is happening despite intense criticism aimed at the agency from over 100 leaders in pain medicine, addiction and public health who raised their concern in a letter that was sent to the Oregon Health Authority. It said that the risks of involuntary tapering and the importance of facilitating access of medications to people who need them...

‘Oumuamua appeared to hit the gas on its way out of the inner solar system. The body went a tiny bit faster than it should have if the only effect on its motion was the Sun’s gravity dragging on it. The best guess... was that ices vaporized from ‘Oumuamua’s surface by the Sun’s stark glare had given the body an extra kick. However, no observations had detected such outgassing. ...The team revisited all the observations made during ‘Oumuamua’s whiplash visit and have concluded that outgassing could indeed be to blame. The researchers looked at what would happen if incident sunlight...

As patients die in hospitals and ordinary Venezuelans scrounge for water from sewers based on a horrific going-on-six-days nationwide blackout, China hasn't been idle, watching the spectacle unfold.  The Venezuelan socialist regime's incompetence and neglect may have created a humanitarian crisis all right, but more important to China, the blackout also cut off Venezuela's oil production.  That's what Venezuela uses in order to pay its $23-billion pile of bailout loans back to China.  So, six days after the crisis, China's state-owned CGTN reports that China is willing to "help": China's Foreign Ministry is concerned about the power blackout in Venezuela and hopes the country will find the cause of the incident...

UK: Foreign Secretary studying ways to bring children of Islamic State jihadis back to Britain “British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt says he is looking for ways to help the children of British citizens who joined the Islamic State group in Syria.” One idea is to do what he expects British citizens to do: embrace the children of the Islamic State, by opening up a special residence for them near his own home, without security services. These fighters and their indoctrinated children are enemies of the West, members of a group that has called for the murder of civilians; they should...

We tend to learn and remember Linux commands more effectively if we use them regularly in a live scenario. You might forget the Linux commands over a period of time, unless you use them often. Whether you’re a newbie or an intermediate user, you should know there are always some exciting methods to test your BASH skills. In this tutorial, I am going to explain how to test your BASH skills by playing command line games. Well, technically these are not actual games like Super TuxKart, NFS, or Counterstrike etc. These are just gamified versions of Linux command training...

A conservative professor at Sarah Lawrence College is being targeted by radical activists who don't much like the fact that he's conservative. Usually, when we've covered cases like this, the activists and liberal faculty will take something the professor said, exaggerate it all out of proportion, and accuse the prof of being racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc. But in this case, the offending professor, Samuel Abrams, penned an op-ed in the New York Times that simply advocated for political diversity on campus.  Abrams said nothing remotely controversial, and he offered empirical evidence for massive liberal bias among college administrators. The activists, calling themselves...

All This MSM Drama About Some School Cheating What Does the MSM NOT Want Us to Notice??? Any guesses? The Pelosi bill? The fact that there is no impeachable charges for the president? The continued ongoing search for evidence and coup in Washington? The child abuse issues in government? Cortez and the rest of the Miserable Women's Brigade of Hate and their Leftist Totalitarian Fascist handlers uncovered? The fall of ISIS? Brexit? What do you think is the important issue that the American Public needs to be distracted from...??

Hollywood elites are, by definition, in the business of concocting fictional stories. Is it any surprise that they apply these skill sets beyond screen and stage entertainment, where the fiction is acknowledged, and use them to achieve their objectives in realms affecting their personal and political lives? In both the college admissions scandal and the alleged hate crime fraud masterminded (I use the term very loosely) by Jussie Smollett, I find five other common points in addition to the first point of employing fiction: Two: Powerful people from powerful families with no concern for issues of right and wrong tried...

Let's call them the infamous three. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are the trio of freshman lawmakers who have dominated the political news cycle this year. Whether it's Tlaib calling the president a "motherf***er," Omar spewing some anti-Israel musings, or Ocasio-Cortez promoting whatever her latest radical progressive policy is (Green New Deal, capitalism sucks, etc.), the media just can't get enough. That's a shame, according to Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), because, as he puts it, they are hogging the limelight from the other 59 deserving Democratic newbies. Hoyer slams Tlaib, Omar, Ocasio-Cortez when asked...

Swedish Prof Slammed for Idea to Send Anti-Migrant MPs to Syria, Return Jihadis These days, a fiery debate is raging in Sweden on whether to return jihadists stuck in the Middle East or not.

Andreas Petterson, a doctor of law and an associate professor at Södertörn University, one of Sweden's leading institutions of higher learning, caused a stir ith his proposal to send critics of immigration and proponents of harsher measures against terrorists to the Middle East and bring home...

I give my thoughts on the drive by social media companies to make Islam a religion beyond criticism.

As AOC notes, the motive in a capitalist economy is profit. But, here’s what she seems to be missing. Capitalist societies create abundance and prosperity by taking our natural desire to improve our lives - to profit - and directing it outward to satisfying the needs of others. This much-berated profit motive is precisely what incentivizes us to meet the needs of others because - wait for it - that’s how you profit. Whatever your business, you can only succeed in a capitalist economy by meeting other peoples’ needs – your customers. This applies to every business from a roadside...

Board Finds ‘No Basis’ to Remove Officer Involved in USS Fitzgerald Collision from Navy A board of inquiry moved not to separate from service a sailor who the Navy had previously charged with negligent homicide for his role in the 2017 fatal collision of USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62), USNI News has learned. On Friday, a board found “no basis” to separate Lt. Irian Woodley from the Navy for cause, Woodley’s lawyer, Lt. Cmdr. Justin McEwen, confirmed to USNI News when contacted on Friday.

On July 1, 1942, the U.S.S. Wasp, an aircraft carrier holding 71 planes, 2,247 sailors and a journalist, sailed from San Diego to the western Pacific to join the battle against the Japanese. On board was a naval officer named Lt. Cmdr. John Joseph Shea. Two days before he left San Diego, Shea wrote his 5-year-old son a letter.
