AND ALWAYS FOR THE CLINTONS: Your tax dollars, working for you…
AT THIS POINT, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE: Clinton Foundation Exec Sought Diplomatic Passport From Clinton State Dept.
IN CASE YOU HAVE A REALLY BAD MEMORY: A fresh reminder that the Clintons never play by the rules.
IT’S WHAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING: Anti-Think and Safe Spaces. Trust me. Even if you send your kids to school, make sure you homeschool. Before or after or on weekends, but don’t let your kids learn to anti-think.
DELUSIONAL. BUT THEN THEY DID THE SAME WITH MICHELLE OBAMA: Sexist or just silly? Painting Hillary as a fashion icon.
TRANSPARENTLY CROOKED: You can see right through Obama aide’s ‘transparency’ lies.

HE’S NOT INEFFECTIVE. HE’S ON THE OTHER SIDE: House Intel Committee Members: Largest-Ever Gitmo Release Endangers U.S. Troops.
NOR SHALL WE FORGET: 9/11 survivors: We were saved by the man with the red bandanna.
OKAY, NOT EVERYTHING HE DID WAS ANATHEMA: Inside FDR’s wartime mission to protect American treasures.
OF COURSE THEY DO: New York cracks down on charities in the name of ‘ethics’. Nothing outside the state, comrade!
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAD START AND THROWING MONEY DOWN A RAT HOLE: There’s an off chance that money thrown down a rat hole might be found and used for something useful. Putting Head Start’s “Sleeper Effects” to Rest.
WHAT ISN’T FOR SALE IN CLINTON-LAND: Hillary practically promised a pay-to-play State Department.
SOME PARENTAL ASSEMBLY STILL REQUIRED: Screen time is no substitute for real learning.
WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, FREE SPEECH IS CENSORSHIP ALSO SHUT UP: The Left’s Free Speech Quandary at the University of Chicago.

THAT ABEDIN CENTIPEDE KEEPS DROPPING SHOES: Huma Abedin’s mom linked to shocking anti-women book.
IT HELPS IF YOU HAVE THE REFEREES ON YOUR SIDE: Elections are a game — and Clinton plays it better.
ONE PSYCHIATRIST? ONE? BEFORE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS ONE SHOULD REQUIRE A PANEL OF A DOZEN PSYCHIATRISTS OR MORE: Children’s minds are plastic. They are influenced by their parents, their peers, the media. We wouldn’t allow them to drink, but we want to rush them into this? Team Obama’s new low in the name of ‘trans rights’. If the change is legitimate, it can always be done later. BUT once done it’s irreversible. Wouldn’t this be a case for caution in creating irrevocable modifications?
OH, IS IT LEBENSUNWERTES LEBEN TIME AGAIN? Killing the Mentally Ill in Netherlands.
GEEK, YOU IZ DOING IT WRONG. OR PERHAPS STOP CULTURALLY APPROPRIATING MY (SF/F) PEOPLE: Congress faces physicists’ ‘multiverse’ of issues including IRS, Zika upon impending return.
YOU MEAN THE LAYERS AND LAYERS OF EDITORS AND THE PROCESS OF PEER REVIEW DON’T CATCH THOSE? THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE. Turns out that scientific papers are full of computer-created mistakes. Take for instance:
You see, genes are often referred to in scientific literature by symbols — essentially shortened versions of full gene names. The gene “Septin 2” is typically shortened as SEPT2. “Membrane-Associated Ring Finger (C3HC4) 1, E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase” gets mercifully shortened to MARCH1.
But when you type these shortened gene names into Excel, the program automatically assumes they refer to dates — Sept. 2 and March 1, respectively. If you type SEPT2 into a default Excel cell, it magically becomes “2-Sep.” It’s stored by the program as the date 9/2/2016.
Even worse, there’s no easy way to undo this automatic formatting once it has happened.
Read The Whole Thing: An alarming number of scientific papers contain Excel errors.
