Last Federal Judge appointed by Jimmy Carter dies at 87
Couldn’t happen at a better time…. Adieu.
“(CNN)Judge Stephen Reinhardt, a liberal federal appeals court judge who was part of a panel that rejected California’s Proposition 8 same-sex marriage ban as unconstitutional, died Thursday, according to a court spokesperson. He was 87.
Reinhardt, who served on the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, died of a heart attack during a visit to his dermatologist, according to spokesman David Madden.
One of the last remaining federal judges appointed by then-President Jimmy Carter, nearly four decades ago, Reinhardt emerged as a staunch critic of the Trump administration’s deportation policies and travel ban in the final years of his life.
“We have lost a wonderful colleague and friend. As a judge, he was deeply principled, fiercely passionate about the law and fearless in his decisions,” Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas of the 9th Circuit said in a statement.
“He will be remembered…

Obama’s FBI Knew Russia Aided Iran Nuclear Program Before Uranium One & Iran Deal: Report, by Tyler Durden
Mr. Hope and Change didn’t seem to do much to stop either the Russians or the Iranians from acquiring nuclear materials and technology. Whatever the merits of the Iranian nuclear deal, there was no chance it would have gone through if US lawmakers had known about Russian assistance to the Iranian nuclear program. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
During Obama’s first term, the FBI was presented with evidence that Russia was providing assistance to Iran’s nuclear program, according to former undercover informant William Douglas Campbell.
Campbell – who worked for the CIA for decades before his work for the FBI, tells The Hill that he gathered evidence of Russia intercepting nonpublic copies of international inspection reports concerning Tehran’s nuclear program – sending equipment, advice and materials to one of Iran’s several nuclear facilities.
Campbell said Russian nuclear executives were extremely concerned that Moscow’s ongoing assistance to Iran might boomerang on them…

The Age of Savagery, by Robert Gore
This is dedicated to Holly O and all those who know that civilization and savagery are not equivalent, refuse to overlook or excuse the latter, and will not be silenced. Let the voices of those silenced by threats or force strengthen the voices of those who can still speak.
Mendacity keeps breaking out to new highs. What’s behind the bull market in bullshit? A large group of small people clinging to a status quo that has enriched and empowered them like no status quo has ever enriched and empowered any cabal or coterie before. A much larger group—host and prey—so bamboozled they don’t recognize their own anemic decomposition as their lifeblood is sucked away. Many of the few who recognize the peril pin self-defeating hopes on the rube’s game of politics.
The purpose of the lies is astonishingly tawdry: to preserve a failing system for another few days, months, years…

Demanding Their “Right To Be Safe” By Denying Everyone Else Their Right To Self Defense.
What steps can we – sorry, our Government – take to guarantee our personal safety?
A punch-proof, bullet-proof, bully-proof Bubble, perhaps?
But nothing’s perfect. Life-threatening perils remain.
However, this Generation of Young Activists are highly funded by leftist, gun-grabbing millionaires and prominently featured in-kind by the national Media. So we’re told how eloquent and profound they are in supporting the Narrative. And denying reality…
So realistically, we could find just one comprehensive solution for total personal protection, though it too presents certain lifestyle restrictions and is still not 100% indestructible. But if you want guaranteed safety, it’s the best we’ve got. Enjoy life.
Zuckerberg Scrambles To Calm Facebook Employees, by Tyler Durden
So far, Facebook has done a miserable job explaining its privacy policies and practices to the public or its employees, perhaps because such polices are so apparently lax. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
Following a horrendous week of damage control through a choreographed game of MSM softball, Mark Zuckerberg is now trying to calm down Facebook employees in the wake of a massive data harvesting scandal.
A March 18 exposé by The Guardian detailing how 28-year-old programmer Christopher Wylie “made Steve Bannon’s psychological warfare tool” missed its intended Trump-linked target and landed squarely on Facebook’s doorstep, after revelations that Facebook’s Orwellian data collection combined with sloppy oversight of what apps and their creators do with your data has resulted in disturbing violations of privacy.
What’s more – Facebook was helping the Obama Campaign target voters using harvested data, similar to what Cambridge Analytica was doing. Obama’s former campaign director admitted over Twitter that Facebook not only knew of…

Questions of a Stranger in a Brave New World, by Doug “Uncola” Lynn
Doug “Uncola” Lynn tries to dig through the humungous mountain of pure crap that is today’s intellectual millieu. From Lynn at theburningplatform.com:
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
– Ecclesiastes 10:2
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
