Report That Makes You Go Yay! Trump Plans Rollback of Incandescent Light Bulb Ban
by Shifra on August 9, 2018Great news! The ban against regular light bulbs was started under George W Bush, and was expanded under Obama. The “old” light bulbs give a softer, warmer light, IMHO. And if the government won’t allow us to choose the kind of bulbs we want to have in our homes, what’s next? A ban on plastic straws? Oh wait… Via Daily Caller. The Trump administration is preparing to repeal an Obama-era rule effectively outlawing a wide swath of popular lightbulbs, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. The Department of Energy is ready to scrap a rule broadening the number of lightbulbs that must meet strict energy efficiency standards set to take effect in 2020, according to a document the agency published on...

Video: President Trump Stops Motorcade To Thank Ohio Firefighters
by Shifra on August 6, 2018Remember when Obama stopped his motorcade to thank firefighters? Yeah, neither do I. But here’s what I do remember: Obama forced a violation of Marine Corps regulations by ordering a Marine to hold an umbrella so that he wouldn’t get wet. Via American Mirror. In a moment that will undoubtedly be ignored by the mainstream media, a cell phone video from Ohio on Saturday shows President Trump halting his motorcade so he could shake hands with firemen. The video, taken by one of the participants, shows several firefighters standing or kneeling as the President’s motorcade approaches the venue. .@realDonaldTrump stops his motorcade to thank fireman. Awesome! pic.twitter.com/zcUrtUeNqT — PolishPatryot🇵🇱 (@PolishPatryot) August 4, 2018 Two police escorts pass, as does the...

‘Trump 2020’ Banner Unfurled at Yankee Stadium
by Shifra on July 31, 2018Wow, those “Russians” are so sneaky, smuggling in a Trump banner into Yankee Stadium 🙂 Via Fox News. A huge “Trump 2020” banner was unfurled at the New York Yankees game on Sunday by fans of the president’s early campaign push. Displayed from a balcony at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, the sign urged voters to “Re-Elect Donald J. Trump.” It also flaunted the words “Keep America Great,” which President Trump has said would be his re-election campaign slogan…. Scene at Yankee Stadium during yesterday’s contest against the Kanas City Royals. pic.twitter.com/veJEVgkVIE — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) July 30, 2018

Trump Supporter Displays ‘Keep America Great’ Banner at De Niro’s Broadway Musical
by Shifra on June 18, 2018Payback! Via BizPac Review. A Trump supporter waved a “Keep America Great” flag during the curtain call for the Robert De Niro-directed musical “A Bronx Tale” this weekend. It was apparent payback for the actor’s profane anti-Trump rant at the Tony Awards the previous week. The incident occurred at the end of the 8 p.m. showing of “A Bronx Tale” on June 16, and was captured in Twitter photos posted by audience members…. The times we live in. At the end of A Bronx Tale, a man turned around and faced the audience to show us how big of a pair he has. He was escorted shortly after. It's sad that people can't enjoy a beautiful show and embrace its...

Sad Story: Democrat Advantage in Generic Ballot Hits New Low
by Shifra on May 18, 2018Looks like we can look forward to more liberal tears. And more #Winning and #MAGA. Via Breitbart. For the very first time since April of 2017, when Real Clear Politics first started monitoring the average, the Democrat advantage in the generic ballot has dipped below 5 percent, to just 4.7 percent. Until this week, Democrats enjoyed a steady average of a +5 percent advantage. Of late, that average has climbed as high as +13 percent. But since then, the erosion, in fits and starts, has steadily drifted downward, and now, at least in this election season, it is at a record low. For the very first time since April of 2017, when Real Clear Politics first started monitoring the average,...

Video: Volunteer Team Repairs Home of Austin’s Bombing Victim
by Shifra on April 16, 2018Because, as Tammy says: “*This* is who we are!” HT Weasel Zippers. Via My Statesman. More than a month after 39-year-old Anthony Stephan House was killed by a package bomb while standing on his front porch, the door to his Northeast Austin home was still covered by a thin piece of plywood. Nails and shrapnel from the homemade device had penetrated the walls, and the concrete entryway was left crumbling. “Standing on that porch will give you the chills,” said Kelli Parrott, who works for a local real estate company that volunteered to repair the house. “You don’t get the grasp of it until you see it in person.” House was killed March 2 when a package left by the...

Video: Israel, US End ‘Juniper Cobra 18’ Exercise With Live-Fire Air Defense Test
by Shifra on March 23, 2018Neat! Via Times of Israel. The Israel Defense Forces and US military ended their joint Juniper Cobra missile defense exercise this week, with live-fire tests of two anti-aircraft systems over the skies of central Israel. The exercise, which began on March 4, simulated a massive ballistic missile attack on the State of Israel, with American and Israeli troops working together to defend the country, something officials from both militaries stressed could happen in reality. “They will train shoulder to shoulder, the same way we will fight in times of crisis. It’s not just about an exercise,” Brig. Gen. Tzvika Haimovitch, Israel’s air defense commander, told reporters when the exercise began. Israel considers ballistic missiles, specifically precision-guided ones, to be one...

Today is National K9 Veterans Day, Honoring Our Military Dogs
by Shifra on March 13, 2018Fun fact: The idea of using military dogs dates back to Benjamin Franklin, who suggested the use of dogs “will confound the enemy.” Via USA Today. In war, the difference between living and dying can come down to a single step. Ret. Air Force Staff Sgt. Len Anderson knows this too well. On patrol in Afghanistan in 2012, he was stopped just before he stepped on an improvised explosive device. Who saved his life? It was Azza, his military working dog, who alerted him to the danger. Later in the patrol, Azza sensed another IED and signaled to Anderson to stay in place. But this IED was remotely activated. It detonated. Anderson suffered massive injury, but thanks to Azza he...

by Shifra on March 4, 2018Adding my response to Tammy’s tweet: I too will not be watching the Academy Awards. Hey, the dryer doesn’t remove lint by itself! As we approach Sunday, my feelings about watching the #Oscars have evolved to the more emphatic nope, nope, nopety nope nope. https://t.co/swsD02G7cU — Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) March 3, 2018 Via Hollywood Reporter. The conservative provocateur who calls himself Sabo took aim at Hollywood days before the Academy Awards.

Video: Mika Kicks “Fire and Fury” Author Michael Wolff Off Show
by Shifra on February 1, 2018When you’ve lost Mika and Morning Schmoe… Via NY Post. “Fire and Fury” author Michael Wolff has sunk from the penthouse to the outhouse in the weeks since his error-filled White House tell-all was published — with even some of President Trump’s harshest critics telling Wolff to hit the road. Wolff was tossed from MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” by co-host Mika Brzezinski on Thursday morning after a contentious debate over the author’s sleazy allegation that Trump was bedding UN Ambassador Nikki Haley…. When Wolff — whose book painted an alarming picture of an administration mired in chaos and a president ill-equipped to do his job — evaded the question, Brzezinski lowered the boom. “If you don’t get what we’re talking about,...

American Psychiatric Assoc. Warns Against Diagnosis Without Face-to-Face Exam
by Shifra on January 10, 2018Finally, the APA has spoken out. What took them so long? But where exactly does the American Psychological Association stand? So far, ‘crickets’ from them. Via Washington Examiner. The American Psychiatric Association urged members of its profession to uphold its decades-long principle that psychiatrists should never offer diagnostic opinions about people they haven’t personally examined, in light of President Trump’s impending medical exam and questions about his mental fitness. “We at the APA call for an end to psychiatrists providing professional opinions in the media about public figures whom they have not examined, whether it be on cable news appearances, books, or in social media,” the group wrote. “Arm-chair psychiatry or the use of psychiatry as a political tool is...
