“We cannot afford to be silent on this issue, my colleagues. The organizations which share the professed mission of the Muslim Brotherhood to destroy our nation from within are real, not theoretical. They are active right here in the state of Michigan,” Colbeck said.

Sen. David Knezek, D-Dearborn Heights, also spoke on the Senate floor. He called Colbeck’s comments “ignorant and close-minded.”


I hope Trump gets wind of this candidates speech, since he is in Michigan today. The representative from Dearborn is willfully ignorant.

Weaponizing the Government for Leftist Political War


It is what everyone should see, and what to many in power want to succeed.
Those people should have no power because they abuse it.

To better understand how the intimidation game works to weaponize government and criminalize political differences, consider Robert Mueller’s record both as special counsel and previously as director of the FBI.

Interesting how the prez isn't taking any credit for the two Koreas kissing and making up.

I just hope they leave that amazing DMZ alone.

More on the travesty that is our educational system

Oh goody, a townhall.com columnist giving us factoids. Example: "2012 there were 115,000 janitors, 16,000 parking lot attendants, 83,000 bartenders and about 35,000 taxi drivers with a bachelor's degree."

So what? That's a quarter million college graduates presently with crummy jobs. Considering that 2 million four year degrees are awarded annually, and about 70 million college grads total, that's about 1 college grad in 280 with a menial job.

How many of those college grads are struggling artists, novelists or filmmakers who are taking a low-wage job before they can break through into the field? For that matter, how many are just out of drug rehab and taking any job they can to start off?

A college education was once part of the American dream. The conservatives want to end that dream and return it to the domain of the wealthy only. Finn's post is a perfect example of that.

What a bunch of crap that is. Conservatives just want real graduates not whiners with heads full of progressive lies.

There is obviously zero value to a college education unless it able to put more dollar bills in your pocket or allow you to buy bigger trucks and nicer TVs.

A tree gifted to President Donald Trump by French President Emmanuel Macron has disappeared.

The pair planted the sapling, taken from the site of a World War One battle in north-east France, during Mr Macron's state visit last week.

Mr Macron said the tree would be a reminder of "these ties that bind us".

But a Reuters photographer on Saturday took a shot of only a yellow patch of grass on the White House south lawn where the tree once stood.

The tree, a European sessile oak, came from the site of the Battle of Belleau Wood, which took place in the summer of 1918.

Nearly 2,000 US soldiers died in the battle north-east of Paris.

Yet only four days after it was planted, the sapling has disappeared.

There has been no official reason given for the sapling mystery, but there is speculation online about the tree's fate.

French radio network Franceinfo quotes gardening site gerbaud.com, which says this type of oak is better planted in autumn, giving it time to grow deep roots "to face the drought of the following summer".

"The tree may be back in October," Franceinfo speculates.

Meanwhile, Huffington Post quotes an unnamed official at the Elysée Palace, who said the tree is under quarantine.

The US Customs and Border Protection website explains that foreign plants "intended for growing (propagative) require a foreign phytosanitary certificate in advance" before being brought into the country.

The official reportedly said the tree is doing well.

President Macron's gift quickly became an internet sensation, with a photo of the two men shovelling earth onto the sapling quickly turning into a meme.

LOL, but the worst thing is, the Republicans want to cut aid to education so fewer people get to college for even materialistic reasons. In an age where knowledge is power, the GOP wants the US to unilaterally disarm.

A rather facile attemp at sarcasm here, and far too typical of the liberal mindset.

It really shouldn't be necessary to point out that criticism of the quality of higher education is not the same as criticism of the value of a quality education, and, as a matter of fact, it is not, as was demonstrated by the absence of high handed or sarcastic responses to ehbeth's comment which, by any definition, qualified as criticism of the quality of education. Unfortunately in this forum even members, such as yourself, who are capable of and often times post largely objective and fairminded comments, more often default to the obsessively partisan bias that drives nitwits like Blickers.

Defend the US educational system, as it goes down the drain and our children fall further and further behind children throughout the rest of the world, because somehow, no matter how vapid (and simultaneously financially ruinous) it becomes, it is a l
Liberal
institution and therefore any criticism by conservatives must be dismissed or mocked.

It really is time for me to take a long break from any and all political threads here, and if I fail to do so I encourage my friends and enemies alike, to remind me of this statement.

See ya later

Progressives want a dumbed down society where they pick the winners. The last thing they want is independent thought and new leaders emerging with any differing opinions. Our students being taught to hate, this country and themselves.

American children actually do well in cmoparison to other children. The United States has a single public school system in each state, while many other nations have multi-tiered school systems which divert students to trade schools if they don't make the academic grade. In those comparisons, so beloved of conservatives, American public school children are being compared to the brightest and the best in other nations' school systems.

Obviously our institutions of higher education are going down the drain. The one thing I can't figure out is, that despite the undeniable fact of the degradation of education in the United States, why so many students from other countries spend the big bucks to attend American colleges and universities. Perhaps the wise, all-knowing, all-seeing Finn can 'splain that to us.
