ELIZABETH NOLAN BROWN: The War on Sex Trafficking Is the New War on Drugs. “Forcing others into sex or any sort of labor is abhorrent, and it deserves to be treated like the serious violation it is. But the activity now targeted under anti-trafficking efforts includes everything from offering or soliciting paid sex, to living with a sex worker, to running a classified advertising website.”

THE JUDICIARY HAS NOT BEEN COVERING ITSELF WITH GLORY IN THE LIBERTY-PROTECTING DEPARTMENT: The Fourth Amendment shuffle.

My proposal: If your civil rights are violated by a government official, you should be able to sue. if a jury agrees, the cop should be subjected to humiliating corporal punishment: Flogging, the stocks, tar and feathers, etc. This would have a much greater deterrent effect than monetary damages, especially under our current — judge-created and unconstitutional — regime of governmental immunity.

“Seventy years after the murder of 6 million Jews, Iran’s rulers promise to destroy my country, murder my people, and the response from this body, the response from nearly every one of the governments represented here has been absolutely nothing,” Netanyahu said. “Utter silence. Deafening silence.”

What followed were more than 45 seconds of silence where Netanyahu stared down the audience inside the auditorium.

“F*** OFF,” HILLARY REPLIED:

‘​Good morning, ma’am,” a member of the uniformed Secret Service once greeted Hillary Clinton.

“F*** off,” she replied.

That exchange is one among many that active and retired Secret Service agents shared with Ronald Kessler, author of First Family Detail, a compelling look at the intrepid personnel who shield America’s presidents and their families — and at those whom they guard.

Kessler writes flatteringly and critically about people in both parties. Regarding the Clintons, Kessler presents Chelsea as a model protectee who respected and appreciated her agents. He describes Bill as a difficult chief executive, but an easygoing ex-president. And Kessler exposes Hillary as an epically abusive Arctic monster.

“When in public, Hillary smiles and acts graciously,” Kessler explains. “As soon as the cameras are gone, her angry personality, nastiness, and imperiousness become evident.” He adds: “Hillary Clinton can make Richard Nixon look like Mahatma Gandhi.”

Note this conclusion: Kessler’s “astonishment at Hillary Clinton’s inhumanity should reverberate inside every American’s head. As he told me: ‘No one would hire such a person to work at a McDonald’s, and yet she is being considered for president of the United States.'”

Well, McDonald’s expects its employees to be competent and have certain minimum skills.

AL GORE: ‘DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN HACKED; CAPITALISM IS IN NEED OF SERIOUS REFORM.’ “WE REALLY HAVE TO ADDRESS THE DEMOCRACY CRISIS,” FORMER VICE PRESIDENT ARGUES IN WASHINGTON:

 “Democracy has been hacked. Capitalism is in need of reform – serious reform. The short-termism that has been bemoaned by some of the leaders of the bigger firms in global markets is really hampering the success of capitalism in building value and reaching its goals,” Gore said during a discussion at the Washington Ideas Forum.

Yes, there is indeed something strangely out of whack when zillionaire environmentalists go running off to oil-rich Qatar to offload their failed business ventures.

CHINA’S GROWING INVOLVEMENT IN LATIN AMERICA CARRIES ‘SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES’ FOR U.S.:

A research professor at the U.S. Army War College warned lawmakers that China’s increasing involvement in Latin American affairs is undermining the strategic position of the United States within the Western Hemisphere.

Testifying before a combined hearing of two House Foreign Affairs subcommittees, R. Evan Ellis acknowledged that Chinese engagement is primarily economic and could conceivably advance “the development, prosperity, and even security of the region.”

But Ellis, an expert on Latin American affairs, also expressed concern that growing Chinese involvement carries “significant negative consequences” for the U.S. While the Far Eastern giant’s loans to poor nations, product purchases and sales within Latin America “benefit a limited number of sectors and economic interests,” they also “indirectly contribute to inequality, corruption, violence, and environmental problems, while undermining democracy and the rule of law in the region.”

So it’s all good, our current president (and his Secretary Of State) would likely say in response.
