Why the Left moved from loving Thomas Jefferson to hating him…and America.
“Weighing in on the debate over Confederate statues in 2017, President Donald Trump said to reporters, “George Washington was a slave owner. . . are we going to take down statues to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him?. . .Are we going to take down the statue? Because he was a major slave owner.”
“Trump’s insinuation that activists would turn their attention to the Founders after they were done with Confederates was mocked by many in the media and even some historians on the premise that the difference between the Founders and the Confederates would be obvious to Americans.
“It’s the difference between a monument to the founder of our nation, and a monument to a key figure in an effort to break apart the nation,” said Douglas Blackmon, an author and senior fellow at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center in an interview with the Washington Post. “The most kind explanation of that can only be ignorance, and I don’t say that to insult the president.”
“Unfortunately, the president was right. First, they came for the Confederates, and then they very quickly came for everyone else, the Founders included. This was always the real goal: to uproot and demolish traditional America, to attack the men, institutions, and ideas that set this nation’s course over the centuries. For them, America was never great. And to sell the rest of us on that proposition, they need to tear down everything that represents American greatness.”

“ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A contractor accused of leaking classified information engaged in “thievery, not protected speech,” and has no First Amendment grounds to challenge his Espionage Act prosecutions, the Justice Department said in an Alexandria federal court filing.
Former intelligence analyst Daniel Hale shared National Security Agency details of drone warfare with the website The Intercept, according to an indictment filed in May. His defense attorneys argued last month that the law was designed to deal with spies, not leakers, and that the prosecution runs afoul of the First Amendment by chilling newsgathering and implicating the reporter who received the information.”

In the “Goombahs whistling Dixie” category: more whistleblowers are getting in on the coup….. this time over the attempt by Congress to get trumpler’s tax returns as has been customary for decades to show the American People that the President’s taxes are treated the same as theirs.. The whistleblower claims that trumpster’s well known audit was tampered with. The claimant cited “evidence of possible misconduct” and “inappropriate efforts to influence” the president’s audit. What those attempts at influencing the audit were will soon be made public by the House Ways and Means Committee.
The Republican response was that the tampering allegations weren’t in any way related to the demand to see the tax returns because the returns had ‘no legitimate legislative purpose.’ Perfectly logical isn’t it? As yet un-named administration goombas tried to get a few things straightened out with the IRS in trumpy’s favor and some fink ratted them out. What does that have to do with Congress wanting to see trumpler’s tax returns? Apparently nothing worth looking at….anymore…

“After invoking the Tiananmen Square massacre, he ranted: “I’m concerned personally that if the President continues this rhetoric, it might start drawing people to Washington, it might start drawing heavily armed people to the National Mall to protect their president, to protect their interest. And that’s a recipe for disaster.”
“Melvin fretted: “You think that some of this president’s rhetoric could be seen as a call to action, a call to arms even?” Engel eagerly doubled down: “Oh, I think most definitely….I think it’s entirely possible….to think of a scenario where President Trump simply refuses to accept the will of the Senate or of the electorate in 2020, and begins to ask his supporters to come rally to his side.”
“That’s a scary thought on a number of levels,” Melvin somberly concluded.”

More saga in the Flynn case:
“These facts reek of prosecutorial blackmail: Flynn Sr. better plead guilty or the government will charge his son with a FARA violation, even though there was no crime—as the Virginia district court concluded in the Rafiekian case. And, to make sure Flynn didn’t balk, the prosecutors showed they were serious by indicting Flynn’s FIG partner. Then, to further ensure his cooperation, they sought to have him testify under oath that he too committed a FARA offense.
“But when Flynn refused to testify that he knowingly violated the FARA law, the government attempted to retaliate and further threaten Flynn, by naming him a co-conspirator and putting Flynn Jr. on the witness list and having an FBI agent contact the son. What possible purpose for this was there, other than intimidation?
“Whether Judge Sullivan sees it that way won’t be known for some time. But Powell is steadily building the case that the charges against Flynn should be tossed for egregious prosecutorial misconduct, and she is doing it by highlighting facts revealed by her review of the limited record to which she has access. How much more could she expose if the court grants her motion to compel and directs the government to turn over the evidence it has withheld from Flynn’s defense team?”

Somebody get little Greta a cheeseburger, its not bad for your health after all! –
But on Monday, in a remarkable turnabout, an international collaboration of researchers produced a series of analyses concluding that the advice, a bedrock of almost all dietary guidelines, is not backed by good scientific evidence.
If there are health benefits from eating less beef and pork, they are small, the researchers concluded. Indeed, the advantages are so faint that they can be discerned only when looking at large populations, the scientists said, and are not sufficient to tell individuals to change their meat-eating habits.
“The certainty of evidence for these risk reductions was low to very low,” said Bradley Johnston, an epidemiologist at Dalhousie University in Canada and leader of the group publishing the new research in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The new analyses are among the largest such evaluations ever attempted and may influence future dietary recommendations.
While the new findings are likely to please proponents of popular high-protein diets, they seem certain to add to public consternation over dietary advice that seems to change every few years. The conclusions represent another in a series of jarring dietary reversals involving salt, fats, carbohydrates and more.
The prospect of a renewed appetite for red meat also runs counter to two other important trends: a growing awareness of the environmental degradation caused by livestock production and long-standing concern about the welfare of animals employed in industrial farming.
It is one thing for an individual to believe eating less red meat and processed meat will improve health. But he said, “if you want to say the evidence shows that eating red meat or processed meats has these effects, that’s more objective,” adding “the evidence does not support it.”
Questions of personal health do not even begin to address the environmental degradation caused worldwide by intensive meat production. Meat and dairy are big contributors to climate change, with livestock production accounting for about 14.5% of the greenhouse gases that humans emit worldwide each year.
Beef in particular tends to have an outsized climate footprint, partly because of all the land needed to raise cattle and grow feed, and partly because cows belch up methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Researchers have estimated that, on average, beef has about five times the climate impact of chicken or pork, per gram of protein. Plant-based foods tend to have an even smaller impact.
