Absolutely Accept Results Of This Election, Mrs. Clinton?
Absolutely Accept Results Of This Election, Mrs. Clinton? — Hillary Clinton has joined Green Party candidate Jill Stein in challenging the election results in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania reports Gateway Pundit.
The margins of The Donald’s victory in all those states are more than enough to survive any reasonable challenge but Hillary appears unwilling to accept the results of the election.
It does lead us to wonder what Chris Wallace thinks.

Professor Watch List Compiled
Turning Point USA is compiling a Professor Watch List of those in academia who are more interested in propaganda than education, and squelching dissent rather than engaging those with different views.
There is always a danger in the pendulum swinging too far the other way and it should be made clear that it is not liberal teachers that should be driven from the academy but bad and dishonest ones. As bad and dishonest ones, however, have been defended for more than a generation lists like this are necessary.
Hat tip Donna Ellingsen.

Yes Anthony, the Lincoln Highway, which was the first coast-to-coast paved highway, opened in 1913. Mull that the next time you’re motoring on Route 30.

Auto Subscribe Makes Bad Service Pay
Auto Subscribe Makes Bad Service Pay — Several years ago we accepted an offer from AOL, found the service lacking and went on with our lives. Months later we noticed their charges continued to appear on our credit card statements and tried to cancel. We found we couldn’t do it due to long waits and disconnections and such. We resorted to going to our credit card company and having them stop the automatic payments.
AOL, wouldn’t take no, however, and sent us threatening letters. It only backed off after we made a complaint to the state attorney general’s office.
What brings back these memories is a brief blurb in the December/January Popular Mechanics called “The Impossible Cancellation” in which Gary Dell’Abate describes the difficulty he had in cancelling the $7 month fee he was paying to Microsoft for his son’s Xbox Live account. He said the hold times were eternal. He eventually resorted to cancelling it through his credit card company as we did.
Corporate pigs have obviously found a way to make bad service pay.
There are legislative solutions. Auto-subscriptions could be limited by law to a year or six months, for instance, with client permission needed for each extension.
Or a market solution could be pursued. Credit card companies could separate automatic payments on their bills and put them in bigger type while informing sellers than the customer will always be considered right in any auto-payment disputes.
Regardless bad service should never be rewarded.

No Miranda, Macy’s did not have the first Thanksgiving Day parade. The first one was by Gimbels in Philadelphia in 1920 four years before Macy’s. Gimbels was a department store too, but before your time.

Morgan State Professor Sows Division
Morgan State Professor Sows Division –Lawrence Brown, an assistant professor in the Public Health Department at Morgan State University in Baltimore, thinks of himself as an oppressed black man.
He says “white allies should deposit their unearned wealth into black accounts“.
Well, considering his obviously unearned salary is funded by tax dollars from “white allies”, one kind of wonders what more does he want.
Brown is a childish idiot who is looking for attention by saying shocking things with the expectation of praise from other childish idiots.
He is not fit to hold a respected title.
Hopefully, the Trump administration takes a far harder line on public funds for “higher” education and limits disbursement to fields that can show objective results, or at least not sent to people sowing division like this guy.
By the way, the phrase “white privilege’ so beloved by those who want to banish thought should be banished itself and replaced with “father privilege”. Children raised in homes where a loving father is present are far more likely to to have success i.e. become “privileged” than those who are not. When 70 percent of human beings who describe themselves as “black” are raised in homes sans father, far fewer will end up “privileged” than from groups were most are raised in traditional families.
We don’t know much about “Professor” Brown’s background but if one had to bet, the safe bet is that he doesn’t have father privilege.

Merciful Donald Won’t Lock Her Up
Merciful Donald Won’t Lock Her Up — Kellyanne Conway confirmed yesterday, Nov. 22, that the Trump administration won’t pursue charges relating to Hillary Clinton’s use of an unauthorized email server and the slush fund that was camouflaged as a charity.
We approve. Trump’s priorities must be health care reform, the economy and ISIS who anyone with an ounce of sense knows is trying to sneak sleeper agents here. As more ballots were cast for Clinton than The Donald, he is wisely seeking to foster unity with a eye to addressing more critical issues.
Still, equality under the law can’t be ignored. Nobody should be above the law. This means that if the Trump Administration is not going to lock her up, they should expand the kindness to others who committed similar crimes. This means that Martha Stewart, who is a felon for lying to James “Shifting Sands” Comey, should be pardoned. This means that basically decent people like Greg Skrepenak and Chris McNair who had been taken down by trophy-hunting feds for graft exponentially milder than what the Clintons practiced should also get their lives back.
And as long as mercy is the meme, Eric Snowden should be told “all is forgiven, come on home”, and it should be let known to Julian Assange that the U.S. has no interest in pursing espionage claims against him hence he is free to leave the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to resolve matters in Sweden.
And if, after the wall is built and ISIS beaten and the bad trade deals fixed and Obamacare is replaced and sane judges are appointed to the Supreme Court, some FBI agent or federal attorney decides to investigate the death of John Ashe, well, that would be nice.
