Fake News
Political bias is destroying people’s faith in journalism
Lara Logan, former correspondent for “60 Minutes,” caused a stir last week when, on a podcast called “Mike Drop,” she said that too many in the media have become “political activists.” Here, she explains to The Post how one-sided reporting has undermined the credibility of the press.
I was a working journalist before I could legally drink. On Saturday nights in Durban, South Africa, when most kids in high school were partying with friends, my last job was to hand deliver first-edition copies of the Sunday newspaper where I worked to the police station, the fire station, the hospital and the morgue.
Communism and socialism
 |
| used to tend bar |
Like communism, socialism’s main focus is on equality. But workers earn wages they can spend as they choose, while the government, not citizens, owns and operates the means for production. Workers receive what they need to produce and survive, but there’s no incentive to achieve more, leaving little motivation. Some countries have adopted aspects of socialism.
The United Kingdom provides basic needs like healthcare to everyone regardless of their time or effort at work. In the U.S., welfare and the public education system are a form of socialism. Both are the opposite of capitalism, where limitations don’t exist and reward comes to those who go beyond the minimum.
In capitalist societies, owners are allowed to keep the excess production they earn. And competition occurs naturally, which fosters advancement. Capitalism tends to create a sharp divide between the wealthiest citizens and the poorest, however, with the wealthiest owning the majority of the nation's resources.
Coming from someone who never did a days work
Kamala Harris on New Green Deal price tag: “It’s not about a cost”, it's about reverting the USA to something similar to pre-1990 China.
Socialist seem to prosper in that type of environment don't you know.
From Fox News: Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris pointedly declined in an interview broadcast Sunday to put a price tag on the Green New Deal and “Medicare-for-all,” which she has endorsed wholeheartedly even as Republicans cite nonpartisan cost estimates of trillions of dollars for each unprecedented proposal.
Harris, D-Calif., joined Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Cory Booker, D-N.J. to co-sponsor the Green New Deal resolution earlier this month. The resolution’s botched rollout included the release

Progressive income tax discussions could begin next week...as they prepare to drive the last nail in the coffin

SPRINGFIELD — Just three months removed from the most expensive gubernatorial campaign in the nation’s history, divisive political ads could soon begin populating Illinois residents’ screens once again, this time relating to a “fair tax” – or a “jobs tax” – depending on whose ad is being seen.
At issue is Illinois’ income tax structure. The state Constitution allows lawmakers to set only a single, flat income tax rate regardless of income. It currently sits at 4.95 percent.
But Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker wants to adopt a “graduated” income tax structure, which charges higher rates to higher income earners, an effort staunchly opposed by Republican lawmakers.
“Perhaps the fact that the heaviest burdens would fall on taxpayers like myself under a new fair tax

Indian air strikes target militants in Pakistan
REUTERS
India says it launched air strikes against militants in Pakistani territory, in a major escalation of tensions between the two countries.
The government said strikes targeted a training camp of the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) group in Balakot.
Pakistan said the strikes hit an empty area but vowed to respond.
Relations between the nuclear-armed neighbours have been strained since a suicide attack earlier this month that killed more than 40 Indian troops.
- What is militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad?
- Why India and Pakistan dispute Kashmir
- After Kashmir attack, what are Modi's options?
- India's 'surgical strikes' in Kashmir
India accuses Pakistan of allowing militant groups to operate on its territory and says Pakistani security agencies played a role in the 14 February attack - claimed by JeM. Pakistan denies any role and says it does not provide safe haven to militants.
Tuesday's air strikes are the first launched across the line of control - the de facto border that divides India-administered Kashmir from Pakistan-administered Kashmir - since a war between the two countries in 1971.
Balakot is in Pakistan's north-western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Residents there told BBC Urdu they were woken by loud explosions. Pakistan condemned the strike and said it would respond "at the time and place of its choosing".

Hollyweird hypocrites: Oscars have massive firearm protection for last night
ARMED CAMP
Security for me but not for thee…
TMZ reports that at tonight’s Oscars (which I won’t be watching) there will be a massive police presence protecting the Hollyweird elite. Many of those hypocrites rally against our Second Amendment rights.
From their report:
“Whatever money The Academy’s saving by bailing on a host this year is apparently being put to good use — beefing up security to ensure there’s not a terrorist attack or other act of violence … or Oscar hijinks.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the Academy is plunking down close to $150,000 on
Ocasio-Cortez: People Maybe Shouldn’t Reproduce Due To Climate Change
"Is it okay to still have children?"
458.8k views
Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested on Sunday night that people should consider not having children due to climate change because there is a "scientific consensus" that life will be hard for kids.
"Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don't turn this ship around and so it's basically like, there's a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult," Ocasio-Cortez said while chopping up food in her kitchen during an Instagram live video. "And it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question, you know, 'Is it okay to still have children?'"
Ocasio-Cortez then took a shot at Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) over an incident that happened in Feinstein's office on Friday when a far-left fringe group tried to pressure Feinstein into supporting the Green New Deal.
"You know what’s interesting about this group?" Feinstein told the group on Friday, in response to the group storming into her office. "I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I know what I’m doing."
"You come in here, and you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that," Feinstein continued. "I’ve gotten elected, I just ran. I was elected by almost a million-vote plurality. And I know what I’m doing. So you know, maybe people should listen a little bit."
Ocasio-Cortez said Feinstein's response was "like not good enough" because the legislation that the Democrats support is "frankly going to kill us."
"This idea that 'I've been working on this for x-amount of years,' um, it's like not good enough," Ocasio-Cortez said. "Like, we need a universal sense of urgency, and people are like trying to introduce watered-down proposals that are frankly going to kill us. A lack of urgency is going to kill us."

Illinois is broke.....yet
The state’s fiscal year 2019 budget is out of balance by as much as $1.5 billion.
Projects relevant to the forthcoming Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park will cost taxpayers $224 million, according to the Washington Examiner.
This includes $174 million for roadwork in and around Jackson Park and $50 million for renovations to the Garfield Green Line station, two miles from the presidential center. Illinois taxpayers will be on the hook for $199 million of the total cost, with $25 million of the Garfield station renovations funded through a federal grant, according to the Washington Examiner.
Unfortunately, Illinois taxpayers would have no way of knowing this money was flowing to the presidential project from looking at the state’s 1,245-page budget, which makes no mention of the Obama Presidential Center. That spending is hidden, but has been confirmed by political figures such
Chicago Chief of Police Johnson...Jussie Smollett took advantage of pain and racism
Eddie Johnson tells it the way it is.
BUMPED UP ........ SMOLLET is in custody....KIM FOXX is MIA
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
WHERE IS THE STATE'S ATTORNEY WHEN YOU NEED HER?  |
| Cook County's Chief Law Enforcement Officer |
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx recuses herself from Smollett case and cannot be found anywhere for the purpose of explaining her actions. Another situation where she attempts to avoid the prosecution of a criminal person of color. It's a hell of a way to run that office.
There should be equal justice for all regardless of the color of their skin.
ARREST WARRANT WILL BE ISSUED FOR MR. SMOLLET SOON
CHICAGO (CBS) — Empire actor Jussie Smollett is now officially classified as a suspect in a criminal investigation for filing a false police report, according to Chicago police.
Filing a false false police report is a Class 4 Felony. CBS 2 Legal Analyst Irv Miller says Smollett could face probation to up to 1.5 years in prison.
Detectives are currently presenting evidence before a Cook County Grand Jury, police say.
CBS 2 obtained exclusive video of two men linked to the attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett buying a red hat and ski masks from a store the day before the assault.
The video shows Ola and Abel Osundairo placing the masks and a hat on the counter. Smollett has claimed two men wearing a similar hat and masks attacked him on Jan. 29 in Streeterville, according to police. CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar made multiple phone calls and visited several stores to obtain the video.
The brothers were seen entering the grand jury room at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse on Wednesday.
