Dozens of police agencies have been keeping track of `` hate incidents '' across the United Kingdom for several years , putting nearly 120,000 in the record books .

Miller had been accused of a `` transphobic '' social media statement .
The report said the High Court found the force had a `` chilling effect '' on Miller 's free speech rights by visiting his place of work and suggesting he may face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work by a `` community cohesion officer '' after using social media for a variety of comments .

The hit comedy `` Last Man Standing '' on Fox has long been known for its refusal to hew the liberal Hollywood line .
On Thursday , character Mike Baxter , played by actor Tim Allen , delivered a conservative-themed discourse on the subject of capitalism and threw a rhetorical elbow at two of its biggest detractors -- Sens .
Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts .
Both of the Democratic presidential contenders have campaigned heavily on what they consider the evils of American capitalism .
`` Hey , Mike Baxter for Outdoor Man to talk about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , no , no , not gutting a deer while listening to the Lovin ' Spoonful .
I 'm talking about capitalism , '' Baxter 's pitch began in the clip , as reported by Newsbusters .
`` Now , old Bernie and young Elizabeth tell the folks capitalists are coldhearted , money-grubbing vultures .

A Wisconsin school district 's policy of allowing students of any age to transition to a different gender and use a different name while at school without parental notice or consent has drawn a lawsuit from angry parents .
The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty and the Alliance Defending Freedom are representing 14 individual parents from eight families who contend the policy violates constitutionally protected parental rights .
`` This is a life-altering decision that educators have no business making , '' said ADF Senior Counsel Roger Brooks .
Brooks cited an affidavit from Stephen B. Levine , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` As Dr. Levine explains based on decades of experience and extensive scientific literature , putting children on a pathway to puberty-blockers and cross-sex hormones can have devastating effects across a lifetime , '' Brooks said .
`` That should serve as a wake-up call to parents and all Americans : When schools cast aside biological reality in favor of gender identity ideology , it ’ s children who are hurt the most . ''
Levine wrote : `` For a child to live radically different identities at home and at school , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perceives to be his or her true identity from parents , is psychologically unhealthy in itself , and could readily lead to additional psychological problems . ''
The psychiatrist said that `` [ e ] xtended secrecy and a 'double life ' concealed from the parents is rarely the path to psychological health . ''
`` For this reason at least , schools should not support deceit of parents , '' he said.
`` ...

The district policy , ADF said , `` instructs school teachers and staff to assist and encourage children of any age in the adoption of transgender identities without parental consent or even notice .

The court filing warns that the district 's actions `` enable children , of any age , to transition to a different gender identity at school , '' and then it orders staff to `` actively deceive parents . ''

wnd--2020-02-24--The Bolshevik revolution is here

The Bolshevik revolution is here

Here ’ s a pop quiz .
See if you can tell who recently said this : “ Socialism is a common-sense path to a fairer , more prosperous and more democratic USA.
” If you guessed Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , you ’ re really close .
It ’ s actually the Communist Party USA ( see their website , CPUSA.org ) .
Since multibillionaire Michael Bloomberg imploded at last week ’ s Democratic presidential debate , the only candidate who has both the votes ( having prevailed in Iowa , New Hampshire and Nevada ) and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s nomination is democratic socialist Bernie Sanders .
President Trump recently called Sanders a “ communist , ” Rush Limbaugh likewise has called him “ an aging hippie communist ” and Sean Hannity refers to him nightly as “ Bolshevik Bernie.
” Are they exaggerating ?
We all know about Sanders ’ love affair with Castro and Cuba , his honeymoon in the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War , and even his praise for breadlines in communist nations !
Furthermore , when you consider that the totally socialist “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ centerpiece of Sanders ’ agenda for America , “ Bolshevik Bernie ” isn ’ t a bad name at all .
As a recent peer-reviewed research paper explained : “ The Bolsheviks were idealists and visionaries who dreamed of a new world , and their government was one of the first in the world to recognize the now common ideal of health as both an inalienable human right and a powerful instrument in national development , and to make public health one of its top priorities .
Pragmatists and revolutionaries , they spared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ often brutal and barbarous – to implement this ideal on the one sixth of the world under their control in the form of universal free access to health services , facilities , and knowledge.
” Still , is it even remotely possible that a real live Soviet-style Marxist revolutionary could become the Democratic Party ’ s presidential standard-bearer – and possibly even the next president of the United States ?
Hold that awful thought for a moment , while you consider this : Sanders supporter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , the spectacularly ignorant but supremely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Congress and quickly became the Democratic Party ’ s de facto thought leader , recently said , “ Billionaires should not exist.
” Forget about “ socialism ” and “ democratic socialism ” ( whatever that means ) .
That sounds like straight-up communism .
Remember , Marx and Engels used the terms socialism and communism interchangeably , and the Soviet Union , the mother lode of hard-core communism that extinguished tens of millions of innocent lives in pursuit of that dreamed-of `` new world , '' called itself the Union of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Union of Soviet Communist Republics ?
Because they ’ re ultimately the same thing , socialism being just a necessary first stage of communism .
Likewise , forget about the “ good socialism ” Bernie keeps promising ( for years he ’ s pointed to Denmark as a prime example ) versus the “ bad socialism ” of , say , Venezuela or Zimbabwe .
Denmark ’ s prime minister has demolished Sanders ’ claims , saying : `` I know that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would like to make one thing clear .
Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy .
Denmark is a market economy . ''
I know what you ’ re thinking : Relax .
Bernie will never beat Donald Trump in November .
Maybe not , but guess what happens when Sanders ’ army of radical organizers and supporters decides their socialist savior has been shafted by the system once again ?
“ F***ing cities will burn , ” promised one Sanders campaign organizer caught on hidden camera recently by Project Veritas , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hidden camera , insisted Trump supporters should be thrown en masse into `` gulags '' – his word – for re-education , `` to teach you to not be a f***ing Nazi . ''
Since South Carolina ’ s primary is this Saturday , check out a few choice comments from Mason Baird , a South Carolina field organizer for the Sanders for President campaign , captured on hidden camera by Project Veritas : '' I 've canvassed with someone who ’ s an anarchist , and with someone who 's a Marxist/Leninist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ radical people in the campaign , but obviously that ’ s not outward facing . ''
`` We would need a federal government and labor union movement that is working together to strip power away from capitalists and preferably directing violence toward property.
” '' It 's gon na take militancy ... like a militant labor movement that ’ s willing to ... strike , and if necessary , you know , just destroy property and things like that.
” '' Like , if we have Bernie in the White House , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plan for dual power , where we 'll have the presidency and we 'll have a mass movement , right alongside it , that 's like going to be like institutionalized and supported .
... and I ’ d like to participate in it . ''
Oh yes , Baird also wants to `` abolish landlords , '' but adds , `` We do n't have to kill them , that 's my feeling .
I think it 's damaging to the soul , but um , there were plenty of excesses in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would hope to avoid . ''
Here ’ s what still another South Carolina Sanders organizer , Daniel Taylor , said on hidden camera : `` We do n't want to scare people off .
You first have to feel it out before you get into the crazy stuff .
... You know we were talking about more extreme organizations like Antifa , we were talking about Yellow Vests , all that , but we 're kinda keeping that on the back-burner for now . ''
And of course , it was a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shot and almost killed Rep. Steve Scalise while attempting mass murder at a GOP congressional baseball practice , and another Bernie supporter recently drove through two security barricades at Trump ’ s Mar-a-Lago resort .
The straight truth is , Bolshevik Bernie talks like a perpetually enraged old communist , and his hordes of “ Bernie Bros ” sound like violent 1960s Weather Underground revolutionaries .
That can ’ t bode well for America .
So we ’ re in for some seriously troubled times , even if Trump wins a second term @ @ @ @ @ @ @ view : Many pundits and historians have noted that Americans today are more divided and angry at each other than at any time since the Civil War .
Some describe the nation as being in the grip of a “ new civil war.
” Beyond the current battle within the Democratic Party , as well as the all-out war to deprive Donald Trump , by any means necessary , of a second term as president , an even larger and truly epic conflict rages across the nation as a whole .
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , live-and-let-live , law-abiding middleclass Americans and the increasingly enraged , deranged , “ woke ” revolutionary left – led by our elite , permanent ruling class – which has taken over most of America ’ s key institutions , including the Democratic Party .
Remember , what we cryptically call `` the left '' – code for a godless , revolutionary movement steeped in pathological anger and churning rebellion against America as a uniquely blessed Judeo-Christian , constitutional republic – is at war not just with the Trump administration , but with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ revolutionary movement is ascendant in all of our major institutions : It has succeeded in wiping out the Boy Scouts , for over a century an extraordinarily vital institution in the lives of tens of millions of boys and young men .
Likewise our colleges and universities , as well as government K-12 schools across the land , are indoctrinating and corrupting our nation ’ s children as you read this .
This movement has taken over our popular culture as well as virtually the entire news media , and of course the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the internet .
Bottom line : We are right in the middle of a civilizational war , being played out on many battlefields , for the very heart , soul and future of America .
Finally , a more personal note : Please consider WND as your “ war correspondent.
” Unlike the vast majority of American news organizations today , WND remains staunchly loyal to our nation and to the vision and wisdom of our founders .
Jefferson said , `` The only security of all is in a free press .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1997 founding has been “ A Free Press for a Free People , ” serves as eyes and ears on the many diverse battlefields – from the electoral battle with its rampant but largely unreported voter fraud , all the way to “ drag queen story hour ” and the increasingly hostile attacks on free speech and freedom of religion .
Every day , we are watching closely and reporting to you from all of these battlefields .
Please support WND .
Without your help , we simply will not be able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know , Google and Facebook , by controlling over 90 % of internet advertising , have destroyed the business model for independent online news companies like WND .
As a direct result , we have had to resort to layoffs , major pay cuts for every staffer , and other serious measures to stay afloat .

Since multibillionaire Michael Bloomberg imploded at last week’s Democratic presidential debate, the only candidate who has both the votes (having prevailed in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada) and the ground organization to win his party’s nomination is democratic socialist Bernie Sanders.
Wait. “Democratic socialist”?
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
President Trump recently called Sanders a “communist,” Rush Limbaugh likewise has called him “an aging hippie communist” and Sean Hannity refers to him nightly as “Bolshevik Bernie.” Are they exaggerating?
We all know about Sanders’ love affair with Castro and Cuba, his honeymoon in the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War, and even his praise for breadlines in communist nations! Furthermore, when you consider that the totally socialist “Medicare for All” scheme is the centerpiece of Sanders’ agenda for America, “Bolshevik Bernie” isn’t a bad name at all. As a recent peer-reviewed research paper explained:
“The Bolsheviks were idealists and visionaries who dreamed of a new world, and their government was one of the first in the world to recognize the now common ideal of health as both an inalienable human right and a powerful instrument in national development, and to make public health one of its top priorities. Pragmatists and revolutionaries, they spared no effort – and their efforts were often brutal and barbarous – to implement this ideal on the one sixth of the world under their control in the form of universal free access to health services, facilities, and knowledge.”
Still, is it even remotely possible that a real live Soviet-style Marxist revolutionary could become the Democratic Party’s presidential standard-bearer – and possibly even the next president of the United States?
Hold that awful thought for a moment, while you consider this:
Sanders supporter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the spectacularly ignorant but supremely narcissistic 30-year-old ex-bartender who got herself elected to Congress and quickly became the Democratic Party’s de facto thought leader, recently said, “Billionaires should not exist.” Forget about “socialism” and “democratic socialism” (whatever that means). That sounds like straight-up communism.
Remember, Marx and Engels used the terms socialism and communism interchangeably, and the Soviet Union, the mother lode of hard-core communism that extinguished tens of millions of innocent lives in pursuit of that dreamed-of "new world," called itself the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Why not the Union of Soviet Communist Republics? Because they’re ultimately the same thing, socialism being just a necessary first stage of communism.
Likewise, forget about the “good socialism” Bernie keeps promising (for years he’s pointed to Denmark as a prime example) versus the “bad socialism” of, say, Venezuela or Zimbabwe. Denmark’s prime minister has demolished Sanders’ claims, saying: "I know that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy."
I know what you’re thinking: Relax. Bernie will never beat Donald Trump in November.
Maybe not, but guess what happens when Sanders’ army of radical organizers and supporters decides their socialist savior has been shafted by the system once again?
“F***ing cities will burn,” promised one Sanders campaign organizer caught on hidden camera recently by Project Veritas, while a second staffer, also on hidden camera, insisted Trump supporters should be thrown en masse into "gulags" – his word – for re-education, "to teach you to not be a f***ing Nazi."
Since South Carolina’s primary is this Saturday, check out a few choice comments from Mason Baird, a South Carolina field organizer for the Sanders for President campaign, captured on hidden camera by Project Veritas:
"I've canvassed with someone who’s an anarchist, and with someone who's a Marxist/Leninist, so we attract radical, truly radical people in the campaign, but obviously that’s not outward facing."
"We would need a federal government and labor union movement that is working together to strip power away from capitalists and preferably directing violence toward property.”
"It's gonna take militancy ... like a militant labor movement that’s willing to ... strike, and if necessary, you know, just destroy property and things like that.”
"Like, if we have Bernie in the White House, we're going to have, a real plan for dual power, where we'll have the presidency and we'll have a mass movement, right alongside it, that's like going to be like institutionalized and supported. ... and I’d like to participate in it."
Oh yes, Baird also wants to "abolish landlords," but adds, "We don't have to kill them, that's my feeling. I think it's damaging to the soul, but um, there were plenty of excesses in 1917 (the Russian Revolution) I would hope to avoid."
Here’s what still another South Carolina Sanders organizer, Daniel Taylor, said on hidden camera: "We don't want to scare people off. You first have to feel it out before you get into the crazy stuff. ... You know we were talking about more extreme organizations like Antifa, we were talking about Yellow Vests, all that, but we're kinda keeping that on the back-burner for now."
And of course, it was a Sanders supporter, James Hodgkinson, who shot and almost killed Rep. Steve Scalise while attempting mass murder at a GOP congressional baseball practice, and another Bernie supporter recently drove through two security barricades at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
The straight truth is, Bolshevik Bernie talks like a perpetually enraged old communist, and his hordes of “Bernie Bros” sound like violent 1960s Weather Underground revolutionaries. That can’t bode well for America.
So we’re in for some seriously troubled times, even if Trump wins a second term this November.
New civil war
Taking a quick 30,000-foot view: Many pundits and historians have noted that Americans today are more divided and angry at each other than at any time since the Civil War. Some describe the nation as being in the grip of a “new civil war.”
Beyond the current battle within the Democratic Party, as well as the all-out war to deprive Donald Trump, by any means necessary, of a second term as president, an even larger and truly epic conflict rages across the nation as a whole. It’s a war between decent, traditional-values, live-and-let-live, law-abiding middleclass Americans and the increasingly enraged, deranged, “woke” revolutionary left – led by our elite, permanent ruling class – which has taken over most of America’s key institutions, including the Democratic Party.
Remember, what we cryptically call "the left" – code for a godless, revolutionary movement steeped in pathological anger and churning rebellion against America as a uniquely blessed Judeo-Christian, constitutional republic – is at war not just with the Trump administration, but with America herself.
This un-American and unholy revolutionary movement is ascendant in all of our major institutions: It has succeeded in wiping out the Boy Scouts, for over a century an extraordinarily vital institution in the lives of tens of millions of boys and young men. Likewise our colleges and universities, as well as government K-12 schools across the land, are indoctrinating and corrupting our nation’s children as you read this. This movement has taken over our popular culture as well as virtually the entire news media, and of course the far-left Big Tech monopolies that currently control the internet.
Bottom line: We are right in the middle of a civilizational war, being played out on many battlefields, for the very heart, soul and future of America.
Finally, a more personal note: Please consider WND as your “war correspondent.” Unlike the vast majority of American news organizations today, WND remains staunchly loyal to our nation and to the vision and wisdom of our founders. Jefferson said, "The only security of all is in a free press." WND, whose motto since our 1997 founding has been “A Free Press for a Free People,” serves as eyes and ears on the many diverse battlefields – from the electoral battle with its rampant but largely unreported voter fraud, all the way to “drag queen story hour” and the increasingly hostile attacks on free speech and freedom of religion. Every day, we are watching closely and reporting to you from all of these battlefields.
Please support WND. Without your help, we simply will not be able to continue the fight. As you probably know, Google and Facebook, by controlling over 90% of internet advertising, have destroyed the business model for independent online news companies like WND. As a direct result, we have had to resort to layoffs, major pay cuts for every staffer, and other serious measures to stay afloat.
But if you help us, we will be able to continue to boldly report, like no one else, on the gathering forces of anarchy, insanity and spiritual darkness that threaten to wash over our beloved republic. Won't you join with us?
Whatever you can donate, just know that you are deeply appreciated by all of us at WND, just as, in turn, WND's special brand of journalism is appreciated by millions of readers. Please help keep the flame of America's free press alive.
Thank you for your help, and God bless you.

Critics complain about toxic masculinity, but they don't understand the causes. It's not because of male privilege; it's because of male sacrifice.

Boys who don't have male role models that are constructive are vulnerable to male role models who are destructive – like gang leaders and drug dealers. In his research for "The Boy Crisis," Farrell uncovered nine differences between male and female styles of parenting. The children who do the best have what he calls "checks-and-balance parenting."

wnd--2020-02-25--Supreme Court tosses order to seize church assets

The Supreme Court on Monday returned a case over a pension dispute in the Catholic Church to courts in Puerto Rico .
The judiciary in the U.S. island territory had ordered the seizure of church assets to resolve a dispute over a Catholic teachers-pension program .
But the high court canceled the court order to seize church property that belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Juan .

wnd--2020-02-25--Teacher compares Trump to Nazis and Commies in class

I warned Americans in my new book , `` Culture Jihad : How to Stop the Left From Killing a Nation , '' that our public school classrooms have been overrun by radical propagandists .
The latest example is from Loch Raven High School in Maryland .
A teacher in an Advanced Placement History class displayed a picture of President Trump above a swastika and the Communist hammer and sickle .
The Fox television affiliate in Baltimore reports that above the picture of the president are the words `` Wants to round up a group of people and build a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been there '' and `` done that '' appear under the pictures of the swastika and hammer and sickle .
A banner on the side reads , `` Oh that 's why it sounds so familiar ! ''
`` Educational malfeasance of the highest degree , '' state lawmaker Kathy Szeliga wrote on social media .
TRENDING : Bernie ca n't answer when asked how all his socialist proposals are 'going to be paid for' Parents were rightfully disgusted and outraged that their teenage children had been subjected to leftist propaganda .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on 16-year-olds , '' one parent told Fox45 .
`` My understanding is that was just put up and it was left there for everyone to see the whole day . ''
Baltimore County Councilman Wade Kach wants to know where the curriculum came from .
`` To even imply that our president is in any way a Nazi or a communist is outrageous , '' the councilman told the television station .
`` I just think that it 's irresponsible to post anything like this in a classroom . ''

The school district 's statement is a load of fertilizer , folks .
There 's no misunderstanding the teacher 's intent .
And there 's no mistaking the teacher 's political statement .
This government-funded propagandist needs to be disciplined – but more importantly , the brainwashed students need to be deprogrammed .

I warned Americans in my new book, "Culture Jihad: How to Stop the Left From Killing a Nation," that our public school classrooms have been overrun by radical propagandists.
The latest example is from Loch Raven High School in Maryland.
A teacher in an Advanced Placement History class displayed a picture of President Trump above a swastika and the Communist hammer and sickle.
The Fox television affiliate in Baltimore reports that above the picture of the president are the words "Wants to round up a group of people and build a giant wall." The words "been there" and "done that" appear under the pictures of the swastika and hammer and sickle. A banner on the side reads, "Oh that's why it sounds so familiar!"
"Educational malfeasance of the highest degree," state lawmaker Kathy Szeliga wrote on social media.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Parents were rightfully disgusted and outraged that their teenage children had been subjected to leftist propaganda.
"The biggest problem is pushing an agenda on 16-year-olds," one parent told Fox45. "My understanding is that was just put up and it was left there for everyone to see the whole day."
Baltimore County Councilman Wade Kach wants to know where the curriculum came from.
"To even imply that our president is in any way a Nazi or a communist is outrageous," the councilman told the television station. "I just think that it's irresponsible to post anything like this in a classroom."
The school district, in a statement released to local media, defended the presentation:
"The topics being discussed included World Wars and the attempts by some leaders to limit, or prevent migration, into certain countries. In isolation and out of context with the lesson, the image could be misunderstood. In our Advanced Placement (AP) classes, which are college level courses, we expect and encourage analysis and discussion around historical and current events even if they are considered controversial. This lesson was not intended to make a political statement. If a student has concerns when discussing a controversial issue, schools have the tools to address the concern and support the student."
The school district's statement is a load of fertilizer, folks. There's no misunderstanding the teacher's intent. And there's no mistaking the teacher's political statement.
This government-funded propagandist needs to be disciplined – but more importantly, the brainwashed students need to be deprogrammed.


wnd--2020-02-25--7 reasons Hillary may surface as Dems' VP nominee

As a cultural commentator who prayerfully studies developments that impact our lives , I 'm sensing something continuing to develop .
In the wake of the current debacle of the impeachment , the laughable Iowa caucuses and the debate where the boom was lowered on billionaire Michael Bloomberg , behind the scenes something is simmering in the cauldron of the chaos .
`` To defeat Trump , should Hillary join the ticket as nominee for vice president ? ''
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water , guess what ?
Yes , former two-time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starting to dip her toe into the 2020 campaign .
What else does she have to do ?
We must pay attention so we can pray strategically and engage intelligently .
Passing through checkout lines have you noticed her face on the cover of the Hollywood Reporter ?
Inside is a seven-page story with flattering photos , entitled `` Hillary Has a Few More Things to Say . ''
She tells the interviewer regarding 2020 : `` I have had so many people urge me [ to run ] every day ! ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked how all his socialist proposals are 'going to be paid for' Coincidence ?
On the very day of the impeachment vote acquitting President Trump , guess who happened to show up to hoots and hollers on Ellen DeGeneres ' show ?
And she was asked and refused to rule out being a running mate on the Democratic ticket !
In a revealing BBC Radio interview , Hillary was asked if she was `` 100 percent '' certain she would not run again .
She said she thinks `` all the time about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been , and what I would have done differently , and what I think it would have meant to the country and the world . ''
She continued , `` Of course I think about it .
I think about it all the time .
I will certainly tell you I 'm under enormous pressure from many , many , many people to think about it . ''
As we pray for godly leadership to help preserve our Judeo-Christian heritage and protect our freedom , faith and families , we do well to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to simply ride quietly off into the sunset with `` comeback kid '' Bill riding in the sidecar .
She articulated in the BBC interview , `` My goal is to help retire the current incumbent ! ''
Like the phoenix rising from the ashes , do n't be surprised if we soon say , `` She 's baaaaaacccckkkk ! ''
As the 2020 election is underway , the winnowing process leaves a handful from the original 24 .
Apart from Warren and Bernie , with his rabid socialism `` plank '' and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of them are trying to masquerade their messages as more `` centrist '' ( they 're not ! )
.
As more Americans start paying attention to what these candidates really stand for and want someone on the ticket more `` electable , '' if Bernie wins the nomination , get ready for shouts not like `` Lock her up ! ''
but `` Let her in ! ''
Democratic strategists are scrambling to find their `` savior '' ( Michelle O. is saying `` not interested '' ) for two candidates to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the presidency .
If their candidate is Bernie , Biden , Bloomberg or Buttigieg , Hillary could be an appealing complement once they smooth out the tensions inevitable in campaigns ( like party operatives did with JFK and LBJ in 1960 ) .
1 .
She brings stability and possibility to a party in disarray Political commentator Douglas Mac Kinnon , astutely offers , `` Hillary would add the gravitas , delegates and , eventually , millions of votes needed to get them over the finish line on Nov. 5 .
I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for that position . ''
Remember in the last election , the former first lady , secretary of state and New York senator drew more popular vote than Trump !
There are still millions who would do it again if she were on the ticket .
Plus multitudes disappointed and divided by recent defeats , now tempted to `` sit it out '' in 2020 , could be energized by the prospect of a champion finally `` breaking the glass ceiling '' as America 's first female president or vice president .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was `` stunned and terribly disappointed '' by Trump 's upset victory .
Even though she does it reluctantly , Hillary does now periodically admit she made some mistakes in the previous go around .
She tried too hard to present the pant-suited persona of a neighborly wife/mother/grandmother and compassionate friend of the people .
She came across stilted , scripted and stiff , so her handlers will refashion her in addition to facial enhancements like Nancy Pelosi 's .
She was humiliated on the global stage and does express regret for her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weight off having to pursue the presidency and being able to embrace the role of a supportive second-in-command , Hillary could most likely muster the fortitude to convey , `` I learned my lessons , so give me another chance so we can remove Trump ! ''
The former first lady knows the clock is ticking on her career and is desperate to do whatever is necessary to fulfill her ambition .
The escalating prospect of a `` Doomsday '' Democratic brokered convention in July fuels the speculation .
The seething hatred in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remove our president is not in short supply with Hillary Clinton .
Her contempt for our commander in chief is n't a secret !
Remember the tweet from President Trump in 2019 when he said , `` I think that Crooked Hillary Clinton should enter the race to try and steal it away from Uber Left Elizabeth Warren '' ?
Does she cringe watching Trump 's huge rallies where chants still emerge : `` Lock her up !
Lock her up ! ''
?
Did you catch Hillary 's retort to the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ popular vote victory from 2016 ?
`` So maybe there does need to be a rematch .
Obviously , I can beat him again ! ''
4 .
She senses a chance to step in since age is a reality Surveying the scene , Hillary is no dummy in considering the elderly status of three of the four candidates .
I strike the name of Elizabeth Warren who is fading fast and do n't believe the very young , inexperienced gay mayor with the Marxist dad , fashioning himself as the `` progressive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prize .
Additionally , Democrat strategists do n't want two white males on their ticket !
On Inauguration Day , 2021 , Biden , Bernie and Bloomberg would all be closing in on 80 years of age .
Joe would be 78 .
Bernie ( recently recovering from a heart attack ) would be 79 .
Bloomberg would be 78 .
Considering the growing chance of a brokered convention , Hillary would be willing and waiting in the wings .
She knows the grueling primary campaigning would be over and an elected elderly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her to conveniently `` slide into home plate . ''
I believe a calculating Clinton already imagines this possible pathway to her coronation .
5 .
She intentionally stays in the spotlight and is stepping things up Hillary remains proactive in promoting herself and is elevating her profile .
On a somewhat regular basis you 'll catch her on a TV show , in an interview or making an appearance with Bill to the delight of her adoring fans .
Notice how quickly she was on the air after the president 's acquittal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coincidence that Mrs. Clinton attended the Sundance Film Festival in Utah , providing opportunities for pictures and personal autographs while promoting the upcoming flattering four-part Hula documentary on her life entitled `` Hillary '' ?
It reminds perceptive people of how she conveniently released her book and People magazine obliged her with a cover story spread just before her prior campaign .
6 .
She has lots of faithful followers Like her or not , Hillary Rodham Clinton has multitudes who would love to support her in another go-around .
Consider supporters who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democratic Party : the liberal media , minorities , women , LGBTQ proponents , Hollywood celebrities and donors , high-profile and influential athletes – male and female , millennials , abortion advocates , Planned Parenthood , academia , disaffected Independents and the Obamas .
7 .
She has an unquenched thirst for historical significance Hillary Clinton on the ticket as the Democrats ' vice presidential nominee raises lots of eyebrows when you engage people about the possibility .
`` Is she serious ? ''
`` Out of the abundance of the heart , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
When Hillary 's asked , listen to what she says … '' Yeah .
I certainly feel the urge because I feel the 2016 election was a really odd time and an odd outcome .
And the more we learn , the more that seems to be the case . ''
Here 's the deal : If Clinton positions herself as the Joan of Arc crusader coming to rescue a Democratic Party in disarray , our sacred duty is to pray for discernment ; intercede for godly leaders so we can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) ; educate ourselves on politicians ' positions ; vote in a biblically informed way ; and , fulfill our God-given role as `` salt '' in a sin-darkened world where God 's people are to `` shine as lights in the world '' ( Philippians 2:15 ) .

Popping up prominently
Passing through checkout lines have you noticed her face on the cover of the Hollywood Reporter? Inside is a seven-page story with flattering photos, entitled "Hillary Has a Few More Things to Say." She tells the interviewer regarding 2020: "I have had so many people urge me [to run] every day!"

7 reasons to make Hillary the veep nominee
As the 2020 election is underway, the winnowing process leaves a handful from the original 24. Apart from Warren and Bernie, with his rabid socialism "plank" and "Bernie Bros," the majority of them are trying to masquerade their messages as more "centrist" (they're not!). As more Americans start paying attention to what these candidates really stand for and want someone on the ticket more "electable," if Bernie wins the nomination, get ready for shouts not like "Lock her up!" but "Let her in!"
Democratic strategists are scrambling to find their "savior" (Michelle O. is saying "not interested") for two candidates to lead them to the promised land of the presidency. If their candidate is Bernie, Biden, Bloomberg or Buttigieg, Hillary could be an appealing complement once they smooth out the tensions inevitable in campaigns (like party operatives did with JFK and LBJ in 1960).
1. She brings stability and possibility to a party in disarray
Political commentator Douglas Mac Kinnon, astutely offers, "Hillary would add the gravitas, delegates and, eventually, millions of votes needed to get them over the finish line on Nov. 5. I am assured that Clinton is on every shortlist for that position."
Remember in the last election, the former first lady, secretary of state and New York senator drew more popular vote than Trump! There are still millions who would do it again if she were on the ticket. Plus multitudes disappointed and divided by recent defeats, now tempted to "sit it out" in 2020, could be energized by the prospect of a champion finally "breaking the glass ceiling" as America's first female president or vice president.
2. She relishes reversing her demoralizing defeat
In the Hollywood Reporter article Hillary admits she was "stunned and terribly disappointed" by Trump's upset victory.
Even though she does it reluctantly, Hillary does now periodically admit she made some mistakes in the previous go around. She tried too hard to present the pant-suited persona of a neighborly wife/mother/grandmother and compassionate friend of the people. She came across stilted, scripted and stiff, so her handlers will refashion her in addition to facial enhancements like Nancy Pelosi's.
She was humiliated on the global stage and does express regret for her "Deplorables" remark.
With the weight off having to pursue the presidency and being able to embrace the role of a supportive second-in-command, Hillary could most likely muster the fortitude to convey, "I learned my lessons, so give me another chance so we can remove Trump!"
The former first lady knows the clock is ticking on her career and is desperate to do whatever is necessary to fulfill her ambition. The escalating prospect of a "Doomsday" Democratic brokered convention in July fuels the speculation.
3. She despises President Trump
The seething hatred in the Democratic Party that drives them to remove our president is not in short supply with Hillary Clinton. Her contempt for our commander in chief isn't a secret!
Remember the tweet from President Trump in 2019 when he said, "I think that Crooked Hillary Clinton should enter the race to try and steal it away from Uber Left Elizabeth Warren"? Does she cringe watching Trump's huge rallies where chants still emerge: "Lock her up! Lock her up!"?
Did you catch Hillary's retort to the president on PBS "NewsHour" referencing her popular vote victory from 2016? "So maybe there does need to be a rematch. Obviously, I can beat him again!"
4. She senses a chance to step in since age is a reality
Surveying the scene, Hillary is no dummy in considering the elderly status of three of the four candidates. I strike the name of Elizabeth Warren who is fading fast and don't believe the very young, inexperienced gay mayor with the Marxist dad, fashioning himself as the "progressive moderate," can pull in the prize. Additionally, Democrat strategists don't want two white males on their ticket!
On Inauguration Day, 2021, Biden, Bernie and Bloomberg would all be closing in on 80 years of age. Joe would be 78. Bernie (recently recovering from a heart attack) would be 79. Bloomberg would be 78.
Considering the growing chance of a brokered convention, Hillary would be willing and waiting in the wings. She knows the grueling primary campaigning would be over and an elected elderly Democrat could die in office, enabling her to conveniently "slide into home plate." I believe a calculating Clinton already imagines this possible pathway to her coronation.
5. She intentionally stays in the spotlight and is stepping things up
Hillary remains proactive in promoting herself and is elevating her profile. On a somewhat regular basis you'll catch her on a TV show, in an interview or making an appearance with Bill to the delight of her adoring fans. Notice how quickly she was on the air after the president's acquittal?
Do you think it was a coincidence that Mrs. Clinton attended the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, providing opportunities for pictures and personal autographs while promoting the upcoming flattering four-part Hula documentary on her life entitled "Hillary"? It reminds perceptive people of how she conveniently released her book and People magazine obliged her with a cover story spread just before her prior campaign.
6. She has lots of faithful followers
Like her or not, Hillary Rodham Clinton has multitudes who would love to support her in another go-around. Consider supporters who despise Trump plus remain loyal to the Democratic Party: the liberal media, minorities, women, LGBTQ proponents, Hollywood celebrities and donors, high-profile and influential athletes – male and female, millennials, abortion advocates, Planned Parenthood, academia, disaffected Independents and the Obamas.
7. She has an unquenched thirst for historical significance
Hillary Clinton on the ticket as the Democrats' vice presidential nominee raises lots of eyebrows when you engage people about the possibility. "Is she serious?" "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12:34).
When Hillary's asked, listen to what she says …
"Yeah. I certainly feel the urge because I feel the 2016 election was a really odd time and an odd outcome. And the more we learn, the more that seems to be the case."
Here's the deal: If Clinton positions herself as the Joan of Arc crusader coming to rescue a Democratic Party in disarray, our sacred duty is to pray for discernment; intercede for godly leaders so we can freely share the gospel (1Timothy 2:1-3); educate ourselves on politicians' positions; vote in a biblically informed way; and, fulfill our God-given role as "salt" in a sin-darkened world where God's people are to "shine as lights in the world" (Philippians 2:15).

(WASHINGTON TIMES) -- I’m writing more in anger than in sadness.
As holder of an Eagle Scout badge, I went through the sadness stage back in 2013 when the Boy Scouts board caved to the LGBTQ lobby.
Well, OK, I was pretty angry then, too, watching the saboteurs within and without the organization systematically undermine it in the name of “tolerance.”
It didn’t matter that the Scouts won all their court battles, including at the U.S. Supreme Court, to maintain their moral standards. The saboteurs were intent on ending the Scouts’ common-sense, existentially necessary exclusion of boys who sexually desire males. And that was only the beginning.
