President Obama on Thursday hailed his administration for its transparency. “This is the most transparent administration in history,” Obama said during a Google Plus “Fireside” Hangout. “I can document that this is the case,” he continued. “Every visitor that comes into the White House is now part of the public record. Every law we pass and every rule we implement we put online for everyone to see.” The president said this holds true even on the issue of the attack on a U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, a controversy which he said was “driven by campaign” politics and one that...

Today, I give you the most comprehensive data showing how almost all the new coronavirus deaths are in nursing homes and that the majority of total deaths from the beginning were in these facilities. That changes everything we know. Plus, I demonstrate why it’s likely those numbers are inflated. This was never about science or even math. This was about changing the country forever. They will succeed if we don’t stop them.

What if the CDC were only reporting the CCP-19 exact numbers(supposedly) of those "They Tested" who are infected? See, infected might mean this virus is just on your skin or you may be asymptomatic. Would they be lying? Well, no. Not in a literaly sense but, if you look at how they determine how many sick and dead people get, had or died from influenza you might think "These guys must scientists!" Well, they are epidemiologists and a bit like biologists in their methodology. This going to be over simplified That is: They make determinations about populations of whatever a...

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Exodus 20:16)The primary understanding of this commandment, is a prohibition of perjury, testifying against a neighbor falsely before a Judge. However, as in the rest of the commandments, the stated prohibition is only chief of a whole category of Sins. Our God is a God of Truth, and commands us to Love truth, and to speak the Truth in Love. God doesn’t lie, neither should his holy people. Exodus 23 expands on this commandment , Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be...

(Video at source)On Tuesday, while sneaking in some last-minute campaigning in Detroit on the day of the critical Michigan primary, Joe Biden got into an extended confrontation with an autoworker who took issue with the former vice president's stance on guns..... ....The insinuation was obvious. Biden, the front-runner to be the Democratic presidential nominee, had lost it when an autoworker had confronted him about his too-liberal gun policies. (Wolking also shared video on Twitter of some of the autoworkers chanting "Trump!" as Biden toured the facility.) This was a bad moment -- in the mind of the Trump team --...

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on her Monday broadcast accused President Donald Trump of being “willing to lie to the people about things that will keep them alive,” referring to the coronavirus outbreak. Reading from an Associated Press report, Maddow said, “As bungled, is that the right word? That’s the nice word for it. As bungled as the response has been from our federal government, this is actually a problem of a different kind. And this is, this is the thing that I’ve sort of most been worried about. And it is apparently come to pass. Quote, ‘The White House overruled...

[Barf Alert] San Diego Bishop: Climate Change Death Toll ‘Larger’ Than Abortion Bp. Robert McElroy seeking to influence Catholic vote SAN DIEGO (ChurchMilitant.com) - Abortion and climate change were compared several times in a recent speech by San Diego Bp. Robert McElroy, who insisted Catholics must not be single-issue voters. Playing his part to influence the Catholic vote in the upcoming California presidential primaries, McElroy claimed both abortion and climate change are "core life issues" — while alleging the latter ends more human beings' lives.  Abortion kills "more than 750,000 unborn children" but "the long-term death toll from unchecked climate change is...

P-values are used in statistics and scientific publications, much less so in machine learning applications where re-sampling techniques are favored and easy to implement today thanks to modern computing power. In some sense, p-values are a relic from old times, when computing power was limited and mathematical / theoretical formulas were favored and easier to deal with than lengthy computations. Recently, p-values have been criticized and even banned by some journals, because they are used by researchers, who cherry-pick observations and repeat experiments until they obtain a p-value worth publishing to obtain grant money, get tenure, or for political reasons....

In a 2010 interview with Andrew Napolitano on Fox Business Channel, former White House National Security Adviser John Bolton stated that he would have no problem lying to the public if he thought it was necessary to protect national security. Bolton, who has written a book for Simon & Shuster based on his time working on national security policy for President Donald Trump that is scheduled to be released in March of 2020, also said during the 2010 interview that government secrecy and protection of classified material was necessary to protect the public.Bolton become a central character in Senate...

It's the final film in the Skywalker saga that concludes the nine-film epic space opera. And critics were full of praise for Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker as they revealed their initial reactions to seeing the film at the Los Angeles premiere on Monday night. While Disney has embargoed full reviews until Wednesday, those inside the three cinemas screening the film were so delighted they took to Twitter to give their spoiler-free thoughts on the film on Tuesday.

A rather shocking Fox News poll released Sunday found far greater support for Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s proposed wealth tax than for President Donald Trump’s southern border wall.The poll notes that 1,000 randomly selected voters were surveyed between Dec. 8-11 and 68% of them supported Warren’s wealth tax, which is the highest for any Democratic proposals, while just 26% said they were against it.The fact that a strong majority of people would like to see the wealthy taxed more isn’t a big surprise.The surprising part of the poll was how the general public as a whole feels about Trump’s long-promised...

Elizabeth Warren's Medicare for All healthcare plan comes with a price tag of 'just under' $52 trillion, it was revealed on Friday, but she claims not 'one penny' will be paid for by the middle class. 'We don't need to raise taxes on the middle class by one penny to finance Medicare-for-All,' she says in her long-awaited plan for single-payer health coverage. The Massachusetts senator has been criticized by her rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination for not explaining how she would fund her plan for universal health care. 'I have a lot of respect for Sen. Warren,' Pete Buttigieg...

There are plenty of examples of Democrats lying to the media, of course, because that’s what they do: Democrats lie, and the Democrat propaganda media lets them get away with it. So it should not surprise anyone that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lied like a boss in an interview with ABC News’ former Clinton War Room sycophant George Stephanopoulos, who took a job in media after leaving the second-most corrupt administration in the history of the republic after Obama’s.

Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said that she probably loves the United States more than natural born U.S. citizens.Omar came to the U.S. as a refugee from Somalia."Something that I get criticized for all the time. It's not what you think, so don't gasp," Omar said at the Netroots Nation conference in Philadelphia on Saturday during a panel discussion titled, A Vision for Progressive Foreign Policy in the 2020 Elections and Beyond. “It is that I am anti-American because I criticize the United States.” Omar continued, "I believe, as an immigrant, I probably love this country more than anyone...

US president Donald Trump’s “Salute to America” Fourth of July celebration will feature tanks, military plane flyovers—and potential clashes between white supremacists and counter-protestors. Members of the Proud Boys, Identity Evropa (now known as the American Identity Movement) and the anti-fascist protesters who oppose them are planning to spend July 4th and the following weekend in Washington, DC, according to both the groups themselves and local law enforcement monitoring them. “The FBI respects the rights of individuals to peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights,” an FBI spokesperson told Quartz. “We will continue to work closely with our federal, state, and...

Baby Boomers are retiring. Most are now starting to take their pensions and Social Security. The more fortunate are beginning to dip into their IRAs and 401Ks. As we reach this milestone, our views tend to harden. We are growing less tolerant. Some may call it cranky. We don’t buy a lot of the nonsense that is shoved down our throats by so many of the so called experts on television. We frequently find ourselves yelling back at them. We are even less tolerant of all the politically correct BS. As our circulation slows, we look forward to spending more...

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has apologized after a middle school teacher says her students were subjected to racist comments and profiling from staff and patrons during a field trip. In a Facebook post published earlier this week, English teacher Marvelyne Lamy said she brought her Grade 7 students -- who she described as all “black and brown” -- from the Helen Y. Davis Leadership Academy in Dorchester, Mass. to the museum on May 16.“At the very beginning of the tour, one of the staff gave an overview on what to expect and told the kids no food,...

Sure seems like it to the Wall Street Journal, and it will certainly seem that way to most others too. In public testimony to the House Oversight Committee last week, Michael Cohen declared categorically that “I have never asked for, nor would I accept, a pardon from President Trump.” That came in Cohen’s opening statement (at the 55-second mark): Overnight, however, Cohen attorney Lanny Davis told quite a different story. Cohen had Davis ask about the potential for a pardon after an FBI raid, approaching Rudy Giuliani about the possibility: Michael Cohen, a former lawyer for President Trump, directed...
