Report: Iran Deal Surrogate Gave NPR Thousands of Dollars to Provide Coverage

Townhall  "Earlier this month we found out how the Obama White House knowingly misledthe American public to gain support for the nuclear Iran deal. Indeed, the Iranians were not as moderate as Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes suggested. 

"That's not all. Now, reports have surfaced indicating that some Iran Deal surrogates were funding the media to provide coverage for the nuclear agreement. The Ploughshares Fund, for instance, shelled out $100,000 to NPR." . . .

NYT: Obama Misled Public on Iranian ‘Moderation’ to Pass Nuclear Deal  "A new piece in The New York Times Magazine reveals confirms that the Obama administration knowingly misled the public to pass the Iranian nuclear deal. Our president knew full well that Iranian leadership had not adopted “moderate” policies, but the notion was a politically useful one.

"When Hassan Rouhani was selected as the new president of Iran, he was heralded as a more tolerant kind of leader. TIME magazine referred to him as a “moderate politician” when he was voted runner up for 2015’s Person of the Year. (This is why that title deserves to be in quotes.) " . . .

Obama’s Iranian Peace Partner: We Are “At War” With America…
“ 'Global Arrogance” has long been Mullah-speak for the United States."

Arrogant? Obama is only arrogant when deriding Americans who oppose him. To our enemies such as Iran, he bows and accepts humiliation for the nation. TD

Ask This 13 Year Old Girl If Transgender Bathrooms Pose A Threat

Ask Mr. Springsteen how he feels about this.

Weasel Zippers

Where is her safe space?

"Via Conservative Review:

In the midst of outcries from the transgender community that women don’t face threats in public bathrooms, police in England are looking for a man who allegedly took photos of a 13-year-old girl while she used the bathroom at a McDonalds in Berkshire.

According to police reports, while using the bathroom in an individual stall, the girl heard a click over her head, looked up and saw someone hovering over the cubicle wall. Police say the girl was very upset by the incident, and her family is concerned about what’s going to happen to the photographs and where they might be published.

Police have released photos of the suspect in hopes that someone will be able to identify him. They have asked anyone who recognizes the man to contact them immediately.

This incident has occurred at the same time that transgender activists in America are saying there are no threats to women should transgendered women (i.e., men) be allowed in their bathrooms. The LGBT lobby has been releasing ads in North Carolina that voice opposition to the state’s law requiring people to use public restrooms that match their biological sex. HB2, as the law is known, was designed to help protect the privacy and security of women.

The Joys of Mandatory Workplace Diversity Training, a Guided Tour

NRO

  . . . "Just a few clicks into the sterile legalese, I was quickly reminded why I’d developed such an instinctive resentment of the task. Diversity-and-inclusion training is a modern necessity for any substantial employer, and I do not doubt that a diverse and inclusive workforce drives innovation and engagement, thereby enhancing the bottom line. 

But it cannot be ignored that the reason diversity training exists as a mandate rather than an option is that trial lawyers have scared corporations into a defensive pose. Because large companies cannot trust that management in multiple locations will navigate the myriad legal tar pits that may result in a lawsuit, they are driven to establish that they’ve done their utmost to prevent a lapse. In other words, the whole thing has become a check-the-box activity: You certify that you’ve received the training, and we’ll produce that document in a court of law should an applicable suit be filed against us." . . .

. . . "People don’t like being treated like dull children, no matter how much effort you put into crafting diversity scenarios or uploading cheerful stock photography. And people don’t like operating under an ever-expanding list of unwitting micro-aggressions. And seemingly out of resourceful paths to take, they’ve turned to Trump as a sort of collective middle finger to the grievance culture ceaselessly holding them accountable for some new misdeed." 

Thanks, Bernie!

Thomas Lifson  "Bernie Sanders has just contributed a sound bite to the Trump campaign that will be played over and over again as the election approaches.  Speaking with John Dickerson on CBS’s Face the Nation yesterday, Sanders confirmed Donald Trump’s critique of the corrupt political system that includes both parties.
"With the release of the movie Clinton Cash, documenting the obscene amounts of money collected by both Clintons from wealthy interests with business before the federal government, the pattern of corruption that would return to the White House with the Clintons is certain to be the major issue of the Trump campaign.
Particularly in outreach to Sanders supporters, his words yesterday will be particularly useful:

Frankly, what the Democratic Party is about is people running around to rich people’s homes and raising obscene sums of money from wealthy people.

. . . "Obama hosted his final White House Science Fair (from which the priceless picture above was taken) and used the opportunity to form a Kids Advisory Science Committee to help him come up with ways to curtail climate change and cure cancer. A funny idea, right? Right...?

"Only we couldn't bring ourselves to joke about it (although we were itching to drag out our old "Ahmed the Clockmaker" material). Because unlike Obama's legacy, which will bring nothing but grief, these math and science-oriented kids really will be the ones working to invent solutions for the world's many challenges.  And despite Hope n' Change's usually cynical attitude, that's something we actually believe is worth celebrating.

"Plus, it's refreshing to see the president turning his interest to what goes on in school classrooms rather than school bathrooms. Too bad it's taken 8 years for him to do so."
