More Than 3.8 Million People Drop Off Food Stamps Under President Trump

Under former president Barack Obama, enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the food-stamp program known as SNAP, hit all-time highs.
In 2013, more than 48 million Americans were enrolled in the program. When Obama took office in 2009, there were 33 million using food stamps. That’s an increase of more than 48%.

Greenpeace drop-out to AOC: You’re a “pompous little twit”

Wow. If she’s lost a former Greenpeace fanatic, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s path to saving the planet just got a little harder. Granted, Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace left the group 15 years ago but the sick burn he issued to the freshman congresswoman was a bit of an entertaining distraction, adding a fresh layer to the political policy debate. “Pompous little twit” is now my favorite response to know-it-all Millennials,

Not that the Green New Deal presented by AOC and her staff was a serious policy paper about climate change. It was a hot mess of a manifesto, pages of utter nonsense only to be taken seriously by Democrat presidential candidates and other Democrats in office afraid to cross the aggressive young legislator. Moore’s not having it, though.

Now 72 years old, Moore walked away from Greenpeace after a take-over by eco-fascists, as he calls the environmental wackos. He also calls out AOC’s hypocrisy. While she’s promoting such extreme positions on dealing with the alleged climate change crisis, she’s living large doing as she wishes without abiding by her own demands. Her carbon footprint is no smaller than anyone else’s.

While AOC demands the end of the combustible engine (automobiles) and airplane travel, she’s traveling by gas guzzling SUV’s and ride-share services instead of public transportation.

The guiding principle of her eco-vision is to bring about “a full transition off fossil fuels and zero greenhouse gases” within 10 years.

To achieve this, the GND fact sheet says, the nation must “totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail … create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle.”

Apparently, AOC doesn’t recycle or compost, either.

In a Feb. 24 Instagram video filmed in her kitchen, Ocasio-Cortez railed against plastic grocery bags — then appeared to toss two of the sacks, which can be recycled, into the trash.

“It drives me crazy,” she said of plastic bags. “I wish they didn’t exist.”

In the video, Ocasio-Cortez peeled a sweet potato while calling for a “universal sense of urgency” to save the Earth.

But she discarded the vegetable scraps into the same receptacle she had just used for the plastic bags, rather than setting the food waste aside for compost.

Her use of gas-guzzling vehicles producing CO2 emissions allows Moore the opportunity to state an inconvenient truth – the emissions actually help plant life grow and flourish. Moore is not afraid to tout use of fossil fuels and says if AOC had her way, every tree would be chopped down for fuel. Where does that get us? He calls himself a sensible environmentalist. The debate could use a lot more of them.

Moore didn’t appreciate AOC’s reference to climate change as her generation’s WWII, either. “You don’t have a plan to grow food for 8 billion people without fossil fuels, or get food into the cities.”

“It’s her @GND that would be worse than WW2,” he said. “Imagine no fuel for cars, trucks, tractors, combines, harvesters, power-plants, ships, aircraft, etc. Transport of people & goods would grind to a halt.”

Moore gives a quick explainer about fossil fuels via Twitter, too.

Fossil fuels are of life-origin & organic, as in the scientific meaning, organic chemistry, the chemistry of carbon. They were made with 100% solar energy. When burned the main products are H2O and CO2, the 2 most important ingredients of all life. So people, stop dissing them.

Simple enough, right? The U.S. has eliminated a larger amount of polluting emissions than any other country. The Paris accord is useless as it doesn’t demand the same performance by other large countries polluting the air like China and India. President Trump was right to call that agreement out as bogus and useless to the U.S. Moore agrees with that, too. How refreshing. AOC could learn a lot from this man if she gave him a chance.

Biden’s Betrayal of SEALs should Doom Presidential Run

Democrat Joe Biden has been lurking in the 2020 presidential shadows being presented by those with their 2020 fingers crossed as an adult in the romper room of pubescent progressives waiting for their Spartacus moments as they learn the complexities of basic math and leadership skills.

Biden was the top choice for 28 percent of likely Democratic primary voters surveyed in a recent University of Massachusetts Amherst poll, despite his not having declared a 2020 presidential bid. Yet while critics of President Trump’s foreign policy accuse him of a degree of recklessness and immaturity that place the nation’s security at risk, Biden’s service in an administration that gave us the criminal negligence and incompetence of Benghazi, provides us with an example of why he should not be trusted with the nation’s security or the lives of its heroes.

As author and attorney David Shestoksas points out in his review of Betrayed: The Shocking The Shocking True Story of Extortion 17 as told by a Navy SEAL’s Father, Biden betrayed the heroes that killed Osama Bin Laden to further his political ambitions:

On May 1, 2011, Aaron Carson Vaughn, member of America’s elite special operations force, Seal Team VI, called his father, Billy Vaughn and exclaimed:

“Dad, we got him!”

 The elder Vaughn asked: “Got who, son?”

Aaron Vaughn replied: “Who do you think? Go turn on the TV.”[1]

On television shortly thereafter, President Obama declared to the nation that Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind of the deadly attacks of September 11, 2001 was dead.

Vice-President Biden Applauds and Endangers the Seals

Vice-President Joe Biden, at an awards banquet on May 3, 2001,[2] remarked:

“Admiral James Stavridis… can tell you more about… the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday… I’d be remiss also if I didn’t say an extra word about the incredible events, extraordinary events of this past Sunday.  As Vice President of the United States, as an American, I was in absolute awe of the capacity and dedication of the entire team, both the intelligence community, the CIA, the SEALs.” (emphasis added)

Less than a day after Biden’s remarks Aaron Vaughn called his mother Karen:

“There’s chatter and all of our lives are in danger including yours, Mom.”

Three Months Later A Deadly Attack on Seal Team VI

On August 6, 2011, in the Tangi River Valley of Afghanistan, Aaron Vaughn and 30 other Americans,[3] including 15 members of SEAL Team VI[4] were killed when their fifty year old helicopter, designated Extortion 17, was hit by a rocket propelled grenade.

Leon Panetta is one who has taken President Trump to task for his alleged “loose lips.” Panetta himself, it would seem, was also one who needed to be surrounded by adults to keep his loose lips in check, having put the lives of those who took out Osama bin Laden at risk. As Breitbart reported:

Former CIA Director Leon Panetta, for example, told CNN on Tuesday that Trump “cannot just say whatever the hell he wants and expect it doesn’t carry consequences.”

Panetta should know, because it was his loose talk after the Osama bin Laden raid that exposed a Pakistani doctor, Shakil Afridi, who helped locate the Al Qaeda leader.  As a result, Afridi was imprisoned on fabricated charges and will live under fear of assassination for the rest of his life.

As Breitbart News noted in 2013, a Pakistani report on Dr. Afridi reportedly concluded “Dr. Afridi was implicated by a ‘statement by the U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who was the CIA Director when May 2 happened, confirming the role of Dr. Afridi in making the U.S. assassination mission a success.’”

Panetta did not reveal that critical intelligence in a private meeting with a foreign emissary, but to the entire world, on CBS News’ 60 Minutes.

Then there is Joe Biden, whose loose lips got members of Seal Team 6 targeted for revenge and killed in an Afghan mission known as Extortion 17. As Investor’s Business Daily recounted on May 28, 2013:

Extortion 17 was the call sign of a special operations mission in Afghanistan on Aug. 6, 2011, that responded to an Army Ranger unit engaged in a firefight with the Taliban and in need of backup.

The Chinook helicopter carrying the rescue team was shot down by a Taliban-owned rocket-propelled grenade over the Wardak Province on Aug. 6, 2011, killing 38, including 30 Americans and 15 members of Navy SEAL Team 6, the unit that killed Osama bin Laden just three months prior.

The shoot-down was described at the time as a “lucky shot,” but the families of the dead SEALs believe that, like Benghazi, it was a pre-planned operation of revenge facilitated by a government that put them in harm’s way without adequate support and with a bull’s-eye painted on their backs.

At a Pentagon briefing on Monday, May 2, 2011, a senior defense official was asked if it was a Navy SEAL team that found and killed the world’s most wanted man. The terse and proper response was: “Not going to comment on units or numbers.”

Then on May 3, Vice President Joe Biden got up to speak at a dinner at Washington’s Ritz Carlton Hotel marking the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council to spill the beans about Adm. James Stavridis and “the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday.”

From that moment, the families believe, the Taliban looked for an opportunity for revenge, and a government more concerned with politically correct rules of engagement than victory helped them get it.

Biden skated on the leak that got SEAL Team 6 targeted for revenge. Those who now condemn Trump for trying to save American and, yes, Russian lives, were silent, especially Leon “Loose lips” Panetta. Panetta and Biden, like Hillary Clinton at Benghazi, put lives in jeopardy and got men killed.

The deaths of more than 20 Navy SEALs from the unit that took out Osama bin Laden is connected to a loose-lipped vice president who likes to sometimes pose as a presidential action figure.           

To be a politician takes more chutzpah than courage. The chattering class, as the mainstream media is sometimes called, were more worried about how the successful Bin Laden raid by Navy SEALs might affect President Obama’s reelection chances in 2012. So did administration officials, as the leaks and chest-thumping began almost immediately.

SEAL missions depended on bravery, courage, skill, daring — and secrecy. Initially, when President Barack Obama announced that “a small team of Americans” had killed Osama bin Laden, he did not identify it was the SEALs. Nor did the senior defense official at the Pentagon briefing: “Not going to comment on units or numbers.”

Then on May 3 Vice President Joe Biden got up to speak at a dinner at Washington’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel to mark the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council: “Let me briefly acknowledge tonight’s distinguished honorees. Admiral James Stavridis is a, is the real deal. He can tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday.”           

The RPG that felled the SEALs may have just been a random act of war. The Taliban could have just gotten lucky. Or they could have been plotting and waiting for revenge, looking for helicopters that might be carrying more SEALs on another mission, a big bulls eye painted on their backs by a vice president who forgot that loose lips can sink ships, and can also get Navy SEALs killed.

Fake News Hacks FREAK OUT When President Trump Lectures at CPAC on Birth Control and Widespread Rape of Female Illegal Immigrants

During his marathon speech Saturday at CPAC President Trump lectured on women illegals and the widespread reports of rape on the their way to the US.

President Trump: “Mothers who love their daughters give them massive amounts of birth control pills, because they know their daughters are going to be raped on the way up to our southern border. Think of that. True story told to me by the Border Patrol. Think of how evil that is.”

Of course anti-Trump fake news reporters FREAKED OUT over the subject.

Caleb Hull reported:

Yet, there have been numerous reports over the past several years on women raped traveling illegally to the United States.

The Gateway Pundit reported on coyotes loading up women on birth control before their trip to the US.

And Caleb Hull has several more reports on the subject.

Olympic Medalist Speaks Out Against Transgender Athletes: ‘Should Not Be Able’ To Compete

Apparently, pointing out the obvious makes you a peddler of “hate speech,” at least when it comes to transgender athletes. One British Olympic swimmer is finding that out the hard way.

Sharron Davies, a silver medalist at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, is currently at the center of a controversy after she tweeted that she didn’t believe biological males ought to be able to compete in women’s events.

“I have nothing against anyone who wishes 2be transgender,” she tweeted.

“However I believe there is a fundamental difference between the binary sex u r born with & the gender u may identify as. To protect women’s sport those with a male sex advantage should not be able 2compete in women’s sport.”

TRENDING: Trump Eviscerates Mueller Probe in CPAC Speech: ‘They’re Trying To Take You Out with Bulls***’

According to the Plymouth (U.K.) Herald, Davies, 56, says she didn’t intend to offend anyone with the tweet.

She also said that others in sports felt the same way, but most weren’t going to speak out.

“Every single woman athlete I’ve spoken to, and I have spoken to many, all of my friends in international sports, understand and feel the same way as me,” she told the BBC.

Do you think biological males should be able to compete in women’s sports?

“Unfortunately, a lot of people who are in the races (now) are in a very difficult predicament when they can’t speak out. It maybe falls to the people who were competing (in the past) who would understand the predicament that is being faced at the moment to try to create a debate, and try to explain how we feel there needs to be a fair and level playing field.”

That sounds reasonable enough, no?

Not to transgender cyclist Rachel McKinnon, who went on Twitter to call Davies a “transphobe” who was “sharing hate speech.”

RELATED: Wrestler Ends Career by Forfeiting to Girls, Cites Religious and Personal Beliefs

“There is no debate to be had over whether trans women athletes have an unfair advantage: it’s clear that they don’t,” McKinnon wrote.

Of course, don’t tell that to female track athletes in Connecticut, where two biological males have been running away (pun unintended) with the competitions this year.

“I am very happy for these athletes and I fully support them for being true to themselves and having the courage to do what they believe in,” Selina Soule, one of the other competitors, told Fox News.

“But, in athletics, it’s an entirely different situation. It’s scientifically proven that males are built to be physically stronger than females. It’s unfair to put someone who is biologically a male, who has not undergone anything in terms of hormone therapy, against cisgender girls.”

Even with hormone therapy, there are still significant differences in terms of bone structure and physical makeup that can confer advantages. At least Davies wasn’t alone in pointing this out.

“This is not about how people live their lives, who they are or who people chose to be; that should never be questioned,” middle-distance British runner Dame Kelly Holmes, a former gold-medalist, said in Davies’ defense, the Plymouth Herald reported. “But setting fair and safe markers in sport is a must.”

Even if it means risking being called out for “sharing hate speech.”

President Trump Trolls Hillary Clinton with Website Error Page

President Trump’s website error page features a picture of Hillary Clinton as President of the United States, along with the text, “Oops! This is awkward. You’re looking for something that doesn’t exist…”

The error page pops up whenever a user tries to access a page which doesn’t exist on the website, and was spotted by social media users.

President Trump isn’t the only 2020 U.S. presidential election contender who has set up a humorous website error page, with Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) taking a shot at President Trump on his.

“We’ve run into a yuuuuge problem,” Sanders’ error page declares. “While the rich get richer, almost everyone else gets poorer. Democracy is in crisis and oligarchy looms. What we know is determined by the corporate media. Our health care system is in shambles. Our educational system is in crisis. And you’ve landed on a page on our website that doesn’t exist.

Delivery Driver Busted Dipping His Cojones Into Customer’s Salsa

In a cautionary tale for people who opt to have their dinners delivered to them, a Tennesee man was arrested over an “off the menu” additive to a customer’s order.

Delivery driver Howard Matthew “Matt” Webb of Maryville was pissed off over what he believed as an insufficient tip and dipped his balls into the salsa of the unsuspecting recipient of the food that they had ordered from a Mexican restaurant.

Webb would never have been caught perpetrating this nasty deed were it not for his decision to post it on social media where it predictably went viral and once again, police were delighted by dumbass perps who film themselves during the commission of a crime.

Via The Daily Mail, “Man is caught on video dipping his TESTICLES into a takeout customer’s salsa because she had tipped just 89 cents”:

A customer ordering Mexican takeout in Tennessee got more than she bargained for when police say a man riding in the delivery vehicle dipped his testicles into a container of salsa.

The delivery driver recorded the vile act on her cellphone and posted the 14-second video on Facebook, saying off-camera with a laugh: ‘This is what you get when you give an 89 cents tip for an almost 30-minute drive.’

The passenger accused of tainting the food, 31-year-old Howard Matthew ‘Matt’ Webb, was arrested last week and charged with adulteration of food, a felony.

According to an arrest affidavit cited by WBIR, the stomach-turning incident took place on January 12, when a customer with a reputation for under-tipping drivers had placed an order with a local Mexican eatery.

Webb was riding as a passenger in the vehicle of an independent delivery driver working with the regional food service Dinner Delivered. It is unclear why the man was in the car that night.

After the deliverywoman and her sidekick picked up the takeout order from the restaurant to take it to the customer’s home, they made the video.

The footage shows a man identified as Webb putting the plastic cup of salsa against his crotch and apparently dipping his testicles inside.

Webb is heard saying in the video: ‘Oh, it feels good.’

The Smoking Gun has posted a copy of the arrest report HERE.

Pardon the pun but a good “tip” for Webb is to not record the evidence next time.

Larry Kudlow: ‘We Have to Put Socialism on Trial’

Friday on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” National Economic Council director Larry Kudlow warned that despite economic conditions being positive in this current timeframe, which ought to a positive sign for capitalism, there is still a push in the country to adopt socialist policies.

Kudlow, who was following up on an earlier CPAC speech he gave, argued that now was the time to “put socialism on trial” and push toward a conviction of socialism.

“It’s an act of desperation,” Kudlow said of the move toward socialism. “But my message to CPAC is a simple one: We have to put socialism on trial. We have to challenge it. We have to rebut it. We have to put pencil to paper to show what it is going to do to the economy. We have to deal with the moral dimensions of it. And then we must convict socialism. And then we should not wait. Do not let this fester. Let’s get going right now and let’s do it in a way that’s serious. This is a teachable moment in my opinion, and the polls show most people prefer capitalism to socialism. But that is our task ahead.”
