Watch: Desperate Maxine Waters’ Attempt to Bait Ben Carson Fails Miserably

Advertisement – story continues below

Rep. Maxine Waters grilled Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson on Thursday during the House Financial Services Committee hearing. However, the intention of the hearing was put aside in favor of a baiting scheme Waters obviously thought up in order to try to create dissonance between Carson and President Donald Trump.

Waters wanted to drive a wedge between Carson and the president, and video of the heated exchange proves that she was after one thing and one thing only, to get Carson to admit that he does not agree with the president.

How she went about it was truly shameful. As TheBlaze reported, Waters began by speaking about three tweets Trump had sent out regarding the status of aid in Puerto Rico, she had this to say:

“I had intended to start to talk about the housing crisis that we have,” Waters started, “but since the president was busy tweeting this morning and you referred to HUD’s role in dealing with the hurricane disasters and what you and the administration are doing, this morning Trump threatened to abandon Puerto Rico recovery efforts.”

Waters then read the tweets in which the president stated that this relief effort could not last “forever,” then set her daggers out towards Carson.

“So you talked about what you, HUD, is doing in cooperation with, I guess, the administration,” Waters said pointedly to Carson. “Do you agree with the president?”

Wait, What?! Talk about a long drawn out diatribe just to get to the central thesis of her point, which literally has nothing to do with anything.

When Carson tried to respond, Waters took him for a wild ride.

The way Carson manages to maintain his sincerity, while acting as a living put-down to the California Democrat is truly impressives.

The man is simply unflappable.

Maxine Waters, on the other hand, has seriously lost it. This whole exchange was so clearly a thinly-veiled way to make good on her promise to take Carson’s “A** apart.” It was absolutely shameful.

Folks, Get Ready – If NK Fires, Here’s What Experts Say Will Happen

Advertisement – story continues below

During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Thursday, various experts warned that a nuclear electromagnetic pulse bomb attack from North Korea could wipe out the majority of Americans within one year.

The experts specifically testified that such an attack could “shut down the U.S. electric power grid for an indefinite period, leading to the death within a year of up to 90 percent of all Americans,” as quoted by the Washington Examiner.

They noted as well that this threat has become especially dire because of the recent rash of heated rhetoric between the United States and North Korea, as well as the fact the rogue regime has developed the capability to strike the United States mainland with an ICBM.

“It is critical, therefore, that the U.S. national leadership address the EMP threat as a critical and existential issue, and give a high priority to assuring the leadership is engaged and the necessary steps are taken to protect the country from EMP,” they said.

The experts included Frank J. Cilluffo, the director of the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at George Washington University, and William R. Graham, the former chairman of the since-disbanded EMP commission, as noted by Townhall.

(North Korea isn’t the only foreign police challenge facing the Trump administration. Check out President Donald Trump attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran during a speech at the United Nations last month.)

Among the hightlighs of the testimony Thursday, according to the Examiner: “After massive intelligence failures grossly underestimating North Korea’s long-range missile capabilities, number of nuclear weapons, warhead miniaturization, and proximity to an H-Bomb, the biggest North Korean threat to the U.S. remains unacknowledged — nuclear EMP attack.”

While their testimony was troubling, equally distressing is the fact the commission was shut down last month after being defunded by Congress — and this despite the commission’s highly important mission to study the risks EMP weapons pose to the United States.

In a column for The Hill published after the EMP’s disbanding, American Leadership & Policy Foundation chairman David Stuckenberg noted how dangerous shutting down the panel really was.

“The primary duty of a nation’s government is to ensure the survival of the state and citizens,” he wrote. “Without an EMP advisory group supporting our increasingly distracted leaders, our vulnerabilities will grow, and in time, be exploited.”

The testimony Thursday was evidence of this. The threat of an EMP attack remains very real, and while it’s appreciated that Congress took the time to hear some experts speak about this threat Thursday, they might want to consider bringing the commission back while they’re at it.

Please share this story on Facebook and Twitter and let us know what you think about these experts’ testimony about the a potential nuclear EMP bomb attack from North Korea.

The best of #HillaryCourses tweets: Hillary Clinton mocked after news she may teach at Columbia

Hillary Clinton may become a professor Columbia University, an Ivy League school that costs nearly $70,000 to attend yearly.

According to reports, Clinton could take on the title of “university professor,” where she would lecture at different departments at the school or she may take a role in the institution’s esteemed law school or school of international and public affairs.

Clinton is currently on a national book tour, promoting her book that details her failed 2016 presidential campaign, titled, “What Happened.” A decision about Clinton’s career path will be made shortly after the end of the book tour.

But many social media users weren’t exactly thrilled with the prospect of Clinton becoming a university professor. People mocked her on Twitter with the hashtag — #HillaryCourses — joking about the “courses” she will teach.

SHOCKING: Dem Politician Arrested Over Computers Filled with SICK Images

A local official in Pennsylvania’s Radnor Township has been arrested after a plethora of child pornography was found on his computers.

66-year-old Democrat Philip Ahr who is the chairman of the township’s board of commissioners and a very creepy character had images of children as young as toddlers which he is accused of trafficking in as well as drooling over.

It seems that just about every headline about sexual perversion leads into a story that reveals the sick individual’s political affiliation to be with the Democratic party. Go figure.

Via Philadelphia ABC affiliate Action News 6 “Radnor Township board chairman faces child porn charges”:

The chairman of Radnor Township’s board of commissioners has been arrested on child porn charges after graphic sexual abuse images involving babies and toddlers were allegedly found on his computers.

Philip Ahr, 66, was charged with child pornography possession and child pornography dissemination, sexual abuse of children, and criminal use of communication facility, the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday.

“The ages of these children is particularly disturbing. Anywhere from infants to 2-4 to 3-6, and all in those different categories,” said District Attorney Jack Whelan. “Very disturbing.”

“A portion of the images and videos depicted sadomasochistic sexual abuse, and children being sexually abused by animals,” the D.A.’s office noted in a news release issued Wednesday morning.

Authorities said the investigation began in late August after they received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Ahr uploaded and shared child pornography.

According to the D.A.’s office, on September 21, investigators executed a search warrant on Ahr’s Bryn Mawr home.

Ahr told investigators he used Yahoo Messenger to sext with unknown individuals, which involved sexual talk about children, the D.A.’s office said.

According to officials, Ahr told detectives that during one of these conversations, an unknown person sent him about a dozen child pornography images of girls who Ahr estimated to be approximately 13-years-old.

Officials said Ahr admitted to detectives that he sent and received images of child porn to and from an individual he was chatting with.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ahr had previously served as a “mentor” for schoolchildren and received philanthropy award from the principal of a Northwest Philadelphia elementary school.

Authorities will likely throw the book at Mr. Ahr and they damned well should.

Moonbats Links Arms Outside Portland ICE Facility To Protest Raids, Six Arrests

Sanctuary no more.

Via KATU:

Demonstrators gathered Wednesday in front of Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in the south waterfront district to protest raids against undocumented immigrants.

Police arrested six people after they said protesters delayed a bus leaving the facility headed to the detention facility in Tacoma, Washington.

Several in the group linked arms with duct tape in front of the building, which serves as a detention center for ICE. On the tape was written “STOP THE DEPORTATIONS.”

Homeland Security officials closed down the eastbound lane of SW Bancroft Street. Other law enforcement agencies like Portland Police are also in the area.

At one point police put protesters in hoods with earmuffs. Police said they did so to protect the demonstrators as they cut them loose, as they said the protesters had employed “Sleeping Dragons” to link themselves together.

Portland police spokesman Sgt. Christopher Burley said the devices are often made of metal, plastic pipe, chicken wire, duct tape and chains. He said protesters Wednesday used plastic pipe, yarn, fabric, chicken wire, steel bolts and chains.

“As officers inspected the Sleeping Dragons today, they believed they were comprised of metal pipe and not plastic pipe,” Burley said. “Had the pipe been made of metal, there would have been sparks created during the cutting process. That is why protective attire was placed on the protesters to ensure their safety during the cutting process.”

WTH? Fox and ESPN Won’t Show Anthem Live Anymore

WTH? Fox and ESPN Won’t Show Anthem Live Anymore

Fox and ESPN think they can squash the NFL protest controversy by not airing the National Anthem live this weekend.

The networks no longer have a monopoly on how the news is dispersed. Footage of players kneeling and or staying in the locker room during the Anthem will be posted on social media for the world to see.

ESPN and Fox will not air the Anthem live this weekend according to a CNN report.

The networks didn’t air the National Anthem last week in an attempt to put out the fires, however; we the people still saw what they were up to because Vice President Mike Pence walked out of the Indianapolis Colts-San Francisco 49ers game Sunday after 49ers players decided to kneel during the Anthem.

As previously reported, Roger Goodell issued a statement on Tuesday saying the league believes everyone should stand during the national anthem.

NFL players were outraged on Wednesday that there will be no more sitting, kneeling or stretching during the national anthem.

GOODELL THEN FOLDED!

The NFL announced Friday that it is not seeking a mandate to force players to stand for the National Anthem.

The NFL hit a new low last Monday night — in ratings.

Monday’s night game was down double-digits from last year’s game.

Thursday night football ratings were also down.

The NFL is hurting as the disrespect of the national anthem continues.

Fans are burning gear, sponsors are dropping and stadiums are sparse; the NFL is done.

This controversy is not going away. Americans will continue to boycott the NFL; networks can’t stop the boycott by simply refusing to air the players kneeling. Do they really think we are that stupid?

Hillary Clinton Reportedly Seeking Professorship at Ivy League Snob Factory

Just when you thought that the leftist indoctrination of America’s youth couldn’t get any worse, a scary new report indicates that celebrity sore-loser Hillary Clinton is looking to join the ranks of academia.

Mrs. Clinton is now into the second month of her world “bitching and moaning” tour to promote her book What Happened? a tome so rancid that her husband Bill Clinton allegedly tossed the manuscript into the garbage, but it can’t last forever and she will need a paying gig.

The old nag may be a longshot for the 2020 Democratic party nomination but she can still make an impression by filling the heads of the young with seditious nonsense and conspiracy theories.

She is looking to land a job at Ivy League snob factory Columbia University.

Via the Washington Free Beacon “Clinton Considering ‘University Professor’ Role at Columbia University”:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in talks with Columbia University to take on a formal role at the school.

Multiple sources on Thursday told the New York Daily News that Clinton, a two-time failed presidential candidate, is also talking with Columbia about housing her archives at the Ivy League institution, the New York Daily News reported.

The former law professor may take on the role of “University Professor,” which would allow Clinton to lecture in multiple schools and departments without the requirement of a strict course load, a source told the Daily News.

With this vague title, Clinton could potentially decide at a later date that she wants to settle in at Columbia’s law school or the School of International and Public Affairs.

“It’s all fluid. It could be a number of things,” a source said. “No decisions have been made, but there are talks. She’s trying to figure out what she wants to do.”

The timetable of when Clinton will make a decision on whether to take a role at Columbia is unclear, but a source familiar with Clinton’s thinking suggested it would be sooner rather than later.

The New York City-based university would allow Clinton to remain in the spotlight indefinitely as the media will report on her every lecture, speech and snide remark as if it came from the mouth of God himself.

It’s time to just accept the ugly reality that Hillary is NEVER going to go away.

Stephen Bannon declares war on the GOP establishment — but makes one exception

Former White House aide Stephen Bannon is making it clear that he is taking his war outside the walls of the Oval Office and taking aim on the Republican establishment — except for one senator.

What did Bannon say?

In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, he said: “I’m going after the Republican establishment. And we’re gonna go after them.”

“There’s a coalition that’s coming together that’s gonna challenge every Republican incumbent except for Ted Cruz,” he continued.

Bannon said he was working with the grassroots to fully vet candidates to take out incumbent Republicans.

“We are declaring war on the Republican establishment that does not back the agenda that Donald Trump,” he continued, “and the president of the United States, and that is an agenda that we know backs the working men and women.”

“Nobody’s safe. We’re coming after all of them,” Bannon said. “And we’re going to win.”

Why not include Ted Cruz?

Bannon simply explained that Cruz was a “good man,” and did not elaborate on why he was exempted from the Republican civil war.

Here’s the interview with Hannity:

Psychologist: Korean Law Restricting Minors’ Access to Internet Provides Little Benefit

Psychologist: Korean Law Restricting Minors’ Access to Internet Provides Little Benefit

11 Oct, 2017
11 Oct, 2017

Stetson University’s Dr. Chris Ferguson argues South Korea’s law regarding the Internet usage of minors has had negligible positive effects on their health in comparison to its heavy constraint on personal freedoms.

While recent revisions allow Korean parents to lift the restriction for their own children, Ferguson believes the law prohibiting minors from using the Internet between midnight and six o’clock in the morning has been ineffective at best. A July 2017 study examined the results of the restriction, finding that it increased the average sleep time of those who fall under it by a mere one and a half minutes.

What such a law does do is restrict the rights of many young citizens without any appreciable benefit. According to Ferguson, “tempting as it might sound to some parents to yank all the kids off the internet at night, this doesn’t seem to do them any actual good.”

In fact, according to Ferguson, it may very well make things worse. He explains that “taking away all the screens and locking them in a cabinet at night only communicates distrust and likely creates a ‘forbidden fruit’ effect that could challenge young people to overcome those obstacles.” Instead, he proposes the common-sense approach of “talking with kids about reasonable guidelines and adjusting them according to school or weekends and holiday schedules.”

It is a position that eschews an easy solution for one that requires work and active parental awareness. That time and attention is at a premium in a world of digital babysitters. In 2015, a Common Sense Media study suggested that the average child spends nine hours every day consuming some form of electronic media.

Ferguson is poised on the forefront of a debate that includes not just Internet usage but electronic entertainment as a whole. He speaks in staunch opposition to efforts that would blanket “pathologize” video games. Like other recent experts, he suspects that the real problem with academic performance is linked to its strict scheduling and that “if we’re serious about making sure kids get adequate sleep, we need to reexamine school schedules rather than screen use.”
