The News You Won't Easily Find for April 14th, 2018


Guess Who Attended a Coven Gathering


Seems she's not just a B***h but a Witch.

Earlier this week, Hillary Clinton made an appearance in New York City at an exclusive women's club called The Wing. The event was put together by co-founders Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan in honor of Hillary. They were able to converse on her new book What Happened, her legacy, and (unsurprisingly) Russian meddling. It was quite the typical post-election conversation to be expected from Hillary. However, on this occasion, there was one significant difference. This time Hillary was speaking to a group of women who practice witchcraft and openly call themselves a coven. According to The Wing’s Instagram page: “We’re a coven, not a sorority.”

During the event, Hillary was awarded an honorary lifetime Wing membership and was welcomed by the interviewers as the “newest member of our coven” in front of a room filled with cheering members.



The Midterm Blue Wave May Not Be Coming

In spite of everything the media is trying to report, especially their frenzy over Speaker Ryan not running for re-election, the GOP may not lose control of the House and Senate.

Why?

First and foremost, the DimocRATs do not have a unifying, positive message. They can only spew Hate Trump rhetoric.

And then -

Approximately 46 percent of Democrats say Trump is responsible for today’s economy, beating out the 43 percent who say it is due to Obama, according to a new Quinnipiac poll. Overall, only 34 percent of those surveyed gave credit for the economy to Obama, while 54 percent credited Trump.

The numbers are notable since most economists agree the economy is booming, and Democrats are not usually eager to give credit to Trump. The stock market has risen over the past year and unemployment has been slashed to 4.1 percent, its lowest level since December 2000.



President Trump Wins "Trade War" with China?

It would appear so. Raised tariffs on Chinese products seems to be having the desired effect. Seems they are drastically reducing tariffs on US goods going to China. They're still playing it coy but the US stock market has improved because of it.

The Chinese Just Announced Decreased Tariffs And Intellectual Property Protections And Stocks Took Off



Syrian Government May Not Behind Gas Attacks

I can see the screams and denials now. After all, this comes from a simple blog and cannot possibly be considered a valid source for such of a story. But, let these photos stare at you for a moment.





How did German and British chemical canisters show up in Syria?


The shells in the above video are identified as VX gas from British stockpiles.

There's a whole lot going on behind the lines the public isn't being told about. Could these be the reasons the president is holding off attacking Syria.

Russia Disputes Chemical Weapons Attack, Claims It Was Fabricated @ http://www.oann.com/russia-disputes-chemical-weapons-attack-claims-it-was-fabricated/

At this point, it no longer matters. The US, along with France and the UK, have attacked slected sites in Syria

They hit three of Mr. Assad’s chemical weapons facilities: a scientific research center in greater Damascus that was used in the production of weapons, and two chemical weapons facilities west of Homs, one of which was used for the production of the nerve agent sarin and the other was part of a military command post, said Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.



The Seal Team Bat Boat



At full speed, the Stiletto at 70 miles per hour, or 60 knots and can travel about 500 miles on one tank of gas.

The draft is very shallow, approximately two and a half feet. This means the Stiletto can access places others can't. The Stiletto can travel fast in shallow waters and even shallow reefs. It is well suited for those tough environments the Navy’s larger ships can not reach such as littoral and riverine areas.

How about open ocean? When you combine an M-hull with assault craft design that can hit high speeds and rocket through waves, then you get the Stiletto. The Stiletto can even handle 13-foot waves, no problem.

For only $10 million per copy. Supposedly dirt cheap compared to other vessels.



Half of College Students Not Sure if Protecting Free Speech is Important

Huh? These are American college students? I'm not only shocked but disgusted.

The "no problem" argument is based mainly on a poll, the General Social Survey, which shows steadily rising support for allowing "offensive" speakers a platform, especially in the under-35 age group. But it's not clear how relevant that survey is to present-day campus speech battles. Its examples of controversial speakers include a homosexual (absurdly dated) and an atheist (ditto). On the one item that is relevant to current controversies — allowing a speech by a racist — support has dropped, notably among young adults.

Another supposedly reassuring poll, the Gallup-Knight Foundation survey, found that 70% of students felt it was more important for colleges to have "an open learning environment" with diverse viewpoints, even at the cost of allowing offensive speech, than to create a "positive" environment by censoring such expression.



C$10K to Bury a Whale



Isn't as easy as it seems and costs a lot to do. Kinda tough for a town of 1,800 on the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Seems they're going to talk with other towns to come up with a plan if it happens again. 40 tonnes of stinky flesh and lots of lime to ensure it goes away.
