Vermont Democratic candidate for governor Christine Hallquist admitted Wednesday morning, after bashing capitalism, that she has no idea what socialism is, insisting that she is not "big on labels."

Appearing on CNN's "New Day" with host John Berman one day after becoming America's first transgender Governor nominee, Hallquist bemoaned capitalism, despite capitalism's track record of lifting billions out of poverty.

"Well, you know, I'm not a person that's big on labels because I've found labels are used to separate people," Hallquist told Berman. "You know, I look at the platform of a living wage and health care for all, that's called civilized society. I don't even know how that became socialism...let's be a civilized society."

Berman responded by asking: "Do you support capitalism?"

"Obviously the long history of measuring ourselves by increasing gross domestic product is a flawed measure because that just encourages consumption, and we can see what consumption is doing to our world," Hallquist said, without offering any further explanation.

Berman continued by pressing Hallquist into stating whether or not she aligned more closely with socialism or capitalism, saying, "It does sound like you look more favorably...on the ideas behind socialism."

"Well, yes, and I'm not sure I even know what socialism is," Hallquist responded. "So I just don't have the background to answer that question."

Whistleblower Makes Shocking IRS Claims

  • 08/16/2018 
  • Source: AAN 

A shocking allegation from an insider claims that the IRS is tipping off members of Congress to corporate takeovers so elected officials can enrich themselves, thanks to insider knowledge. 

John Crudele, at the New York Post, reports:
 

My snitch also charged that higher-level employees of the IRS also used that information to enrich themselves.

This may sound crazy but remember: Up until a few years ago members of Congress were allowed to trade stock based on information they got while performing their public duties.

...

But the difference between what had been going on legally until 2012 and what my whistleblower is contending is enormous.

Everyone assumed that members of Congress were just profiting from things they happened to learn while working on their committees that a drug was going to get turned down by the FDA, for instance, or that a company was sniffing around to see how regulators would feel about a merger.


Crudele brought these new allegations to the proper authorities who essentially told to him to get lost.

The insider worked for the IRS at the height of this alleged misconduct.

Unfortunately, all Crudele can do is report the story without subpoena power and zero help from the authorities.

Millennial Couple Bikes Near ISIS Territory to Prove Humans Are Kind and Gets Killed

 
 

"Evil is a make-believe concept we've invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans."

 

An idealistic young American couple was killed in an Islamic State-claimed terrorist attack last month while on a cycling trip around the world. 

 

Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, both 29, last year quit their office jobs in Washington, DC, to embark on the journey. Austin, a vegan who worked for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Geoghegan, a vegetarian who worked in the Georgetown University admissions office, decided that they're were wasting their lives working. 

 

"Ive grown tired of spending the best hours of my day in front of a glowing rectangle, of coloring the best years of my life in swaths of grey and beige, Austin wrote on his blog before he quit. Ive missed too many sunsets while my back was turned. Too many thunderstorms went unwatched, too many gentle breezes unnoticed.

 

 

Pastor Andrew Brunson is an innocent man held in Turkey & justice demands that he be released. Turkey would do well not to test @POTUS Trumps resolve to see Americans who are wrongfully imprisoned in foreign lands returned home to the United States.

Blue Lives Matter Rejects Partnership with New York Jets Over Anthem Protests

safe_image.php?d=AQBUTgnjGRp3ZhNm&w=540&

The NFLs national anthem protests became an insurmountable for the pro-police organization Blue Lives Matter, when they rejected an offer to partner with the  New York Jets.

The Jets reached out to the pro-police group with an offer to work together, but the group had no interest at all in partnering with the team. Indeed, the group insisted that the players claims of racial inequities in the criminal justice system were all made up, according to The New York Post.

The Jets reportedly sent a form letter to the group saying that the coming season was no better time to open up a conversation about how your business/organization can benefit from a partnership with the New York Jets.

 

But in reply, Blue Lives Matter sent a scathing note.

Although Id love to work with an NFL team right now I feel it is not the right time, the pro-police groups founder Joe Imperatrice replied. All over the United States players feel entitled to disrespect our first responders, our military members both past and present and our flag. These players make more money in a season than some people make in a lifetime and their Issues are made up, exaggerated, and more times than not false.

Once again I do appreciate the offer, but revenue we have could better be spent on the families of officers killed in the line of duty protecting the ignorance of these individuals rather than contributing to their paycheck, Imperatrice concluded in the first round of emails.

The Jets Anthony Bulak gamely tried to brush off the letter in a follow-up email insisting that the Jets have never had a player protest our anthem.

However, the Jets were the first team to definitively state that they would not punish any players fro protesting the national anthem.

But Imperatrice was not deterred and replied that the Jets had just signed cop-hating player Isaiah Crowell.

If I am correct the JETS may have signed an individual who depicted a Grim Reaper slicing the throat of a police officer, Imperatrice wrote.

Crowell raised eyebrows in 2016 by posting an image of a cop being murdered by a Jihadi. Crowell, who was with the Cleveland Browns at the time, later apologized and removed the image.

The Jets have since refused to comment further on the story.

COPS TAKE A KNEE THEN WALK OUT ON REDSKINS LEAVING THEM STRANDED IN THEIR LOCKER ROOM OVERNIGHT

The Washington Redskins allowed 11 of their players to take a knee for the National Anthem Monday night, enraging fans and local law enforcement in Philadelphia. After the game, the 14 officers assigned to seeing the team safely to their bus decided to show them the same respect theyre showing our veterans.

The men lined up in front of the door, took a knee, put a fist in the air and shouted Blue Lives Matter! Then the captain informed them that they were on their own and the corp walked out. With nobody to make sure they werent mauled by angry fans, they Skins decided to hunker down for the night and have a little slumber party right in their locker room instead.

Because they had no other choice. Their buses sitting right outside and a long ride ahead of them, it wasnt until after 5 AM when tailgating closes at the stadium that the team was safe enough to start their long-haul back to DC.

The Philadelphia Police Department released a statement that those officers are on the stadium payroll during games and therefore not subject to disciplinary action. Stadium officials say the matter will be handled internally. In other words, good job, fellas. Show those entitled brats how things really work.

 

what goes around comes around eventually...

Levin on Brennan: 'He Voted for a Stalinist, How Did He Ever Get a Security Clearance?'

 

HkRoIlLP?format=jpg&name=600x314

 

Former Justice Department official and "Life, Liberty & Levin" host Mark Levin blasted critics of President Trump's move to revoke ex-CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance.

"We have never had a former Communist who we now know spread Russian lies to disinform and propagandize the American people [and affect] a presidential election," Sean Hannity said.

Levin echoed the sentiment, noting that Brennan, 62, supported Communist presidential candidate Gus Hall in the 1970s. Levin said Hall was a "Stalinist who was funded by the Soviets."

Brennan's support for someone like Hall "was very attractive to [former President] Obama," Levin said.

Influential gay rights advocate and top Obama donor, Terry Bean, and alleged former boyfriend arrested.

Conservatives complain that President Obama gets a free pass from the media, which acts as a de-facto public-relations shop for the Democrat in the White House. Never has that charge seemed truer than now as an ugly rape scandal unfolds on the West Coast.

On Wednesday, Portland, Ore. police arrested Terrence Patrick Bean, who has been charged with two felony counts of having sex with a minor last year. This man is not just any old guy accused of having sex with a 15-year-old he's a big-money Democratic donor and liberal political activist with connections inside the Obama White House. Bean raised more than a half-million dollars for Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.

"Bean has been one of the state's biggest Democratic donors and an influential figure in gay rights circles in the state," reports oregonlive.com. "He helped found two major national political groups, the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund and has been a major contributor for several Democratic presidential candidates, including Barack Obama."

Kiah Loy Lawson, 25

A search of the Federal Election Commission's campaign-finance database turns up thousands in donations every cycle by Bean to the Democratic Party's most powerful leaders, including Hillary Clinton, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Sen. Dick Durbin, and Rep. Barney Frank, among others. Photos of Bean posted online show him flying on Air Force One with Obama.

The scandal is escalating. Thursday, according to local media, Kiah Loy Lawson, allegedly 66-year-old Bean's 25-year-old former boyfriend, was arrested by the Portland Sex Crimes Unit for sexually abusing the same boy. After the relationship between the two men ended, Lawson went public with claims that Bean had a practice of secretly videotaping himself having sex with others.

 

This story was first reported by the local press, and there have been vague references to sexual trouble for Bean and Lawson since June, but the national media has not picked it up. That oversight is politically convenient for President Obama as he tries to pull off one of his riskiest political moves ever with his amnesty executive order.

If one of President George W. Bush's bundlers would have been charged with child rape, make no mistake about it, the media feeding frenzy would have been uncontrollable which would be legitimate given the severity of the allegation. The silence surrounding Terrence Bean exposes the national media's partisan double standard in obscene detail.

Picture Reveals Trump And Aretha Franklin at Grammy Party
We all pay tribute to Aretha Franklin today, remembering her beautiful, soulful voice and the trials she had to overcome to become the superstar we knew so well.

Trump even extended a few words of tribute today during a meeting of his cabinet.

NEW YORK FEBRUARY 24: (L to R) Unknown man, Aretha Franklin, Donald Trump, Clive Davis, and Marla Maples attending an Arista Records Grammy Party on February 24, 1992 (Photo by Waring Abbott/Getty Images)

Say, isnt that the late Aretha Franklin talking with future president Donald Trump? It sure looks like it!

Now, some cursory Google searches yield no results on if Trump and Franklin had any kind of personal relationship. But she certainly doesnt look sickened to be standing next to a man who regularly uses the n-word epithet.

Tucker Carlson Tonight.....

Chelsea Clinton is SO SO happy abortion is legal. She has even put a price tag on it, saying that the 60 million abortions since 1973 has added $3.5 trillion to the GDP.

Tucker Carlson is horrified. So are we...

People in politics lie a lot. Everyone knows that. Its hardly news. Whats far more interesting is when say what they really think. Chelsea Clinton did it theother day, at an event protesting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Clinton explained that Roe v. Wade has been indispensable to the American economy. She even put a number of it, suggesting shes thought about this question a lot. The sixty million abortions committed in this country since 1973, Chelsea said, have added $3.5 trillion dollars to the Americas GDP. Fewer women doing dumb things like bringing new life into the world or nurturing children. More women doing the vital business of faithfully serving global global capitalism. Earning and consuming, earning and consuming, just like Amazon wants. Motherhood doesnt turn a profit, so get back to your drone work, ladies. Private equity is counting on you. Thats the America Chelsea likes to see.
 
 
 
 
 

Chelsea Clinton tells audience 60 million abortions add $3.5 billion to the economy

 

By Dave Andrusko

 

Chelsea Clinton
By Gbcue (Transferred from en.wikipedia) [CC BY 3.0], via Wikimedia Commons

Kudos go out to Craig Bannister of CNS News for paying close attention to what Chelsea Clinton said last Saturday at the first stop of the Rise up for Roe tour.

 

According to Bannister, Clinton, the daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, opined that offing millions of unborn children added trillions to the economy. No, I am not kidding.

The 10 city tour is sponsored by three of the usual suspects: Planned Parenthood Action Fund [one of PPFAs political arms], NARAL Pro-Choice America, and the Demand Justice Initiative. Its inspiration is fear that Roe is endangered if Judge Brett Kavanaugh replaces the now retired Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, captured by the mantra of the need to be maximum hysterical.

Clintons premise is that women whove aborted are more likely to enter the labor force and in so doing cranked up the economy by a whopping $3.5 trillion dollars between 1973 and 2009!

Here are some of her quotes, as transcribed by Bannister.

Whether you fundamentally care about reproductive rights and access right, because these are not the same thing, if you care about social justice or economic justice, agency you have to care about this.

It is not a disconnected fact to address this t-shirt of 1973 that American women entering the labor force from 1973 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy. Right?

The net, new entrance of women that is not disconnected from the fact that Roe became the law of the land in January of 1973.

Thus, no matter what other things Americans may care about, everyone should appreciate the economic value of legalized abortion, Clinton said:

So, I think, whatever it is that people say they care about, I think that you can connect to this issue.

Of course, I would hope that they would care about our equal rights and dignity to make our own choices but, if that is not sufficiently persuasive, hopefully, come some of these other arguments that youve expressed so beautifully, will be.

So if I understand Ms. Clinton correctly, doesnt really matter if you have an opinion on abortion per se. You should just appreciate its multiplier effect on the economy.

So, she implies, you can avoid all the ethical issues surrounding the dismemberment of over 60 million babies by framing legalized abortion as a pocketbook issue.

These people are enough to give cynicism a bad name.

Two other quick points about the tour and last Saturdays get together in New York at which Clinton spoke last. I base them on a post that appeared at The Slot, described as Jezebels Home for Politics, Suffrage and Suffering. (The Jezebel blog is almost a caricature of pro-abortion feminism.)

#1. Frida Garza tells us that only about 300 people showed up on a rainy Saturday afternoon in Manhattan. To her credit, although the hyper-hot (and, of course, foul-mouthed) rhetoric insists that legalized abortion is a bonanza for women of color, Garza acknowledges the crowd is largely white (with several men too), most whom, like New Yorkers generally, are left-leaning and already believe that abortion should be legal.

#2. Garza tries hard to convince herself that personal abortion stories are a useful tool for changing opinion. (This is the heart of the anti-Kavanaugh strategythat and trying to stall until after the November elections.) She begins Self-disclosure seems, admittedly, like one of the most powerful tools in the face of unmaking taboosbut

But what?

This strategy has been in place for decades. In 1972, before the Supreme Court issued its ruling on Roe, Ms. Magazine published a cover story where 53 women announced they had a (then-illegal) abortion. That strategy has been repeated many times since, most recently during 2015s viral hashtag#ShoutYourAbortion which encouraged women to share their abortion stories in order to destigmatize the procedure. Storytelling can indeed be a powerful tool, but given the proliferation of stories and the proliferation of increasingly restrictive abortion law, its worth asking if narrative alone can save us.

Exactly but not for reasons Garza may believe.

These self-disclosures cut both ways. Most people interpret them very differently than PPFA and NARAL do, starting with a sympathy that extends to both mother and unborn child.

And as we have written many, many times, so often wrapped up in a personal story about abortion is regret, sorrow, and pain.
