BOOM! Clinton’s Vaunted Lead Over Trump Suddenly Evaporates
Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

“….it appears we just witnessed ‘Peak Hillary’ as Reuters reports Clinton’s lead over Trump has tumbled back to just 3 points (the poll had a credibility interval of plus or minus 3 percentage points) meaning, as Reuters is forced to admit, that the results suggest the race is roughly even…”

Imagine — this despite the goosestepping media machine smearing, attacking and destroying Trump at every turn. Imagine — this despite the endless fawning, lauding and lying in behalf of Hillary Clinton — liar, criminal, traitor, Benghazi-murderer, ISIS weapons provider, private email server ….

The race is neck and neck.

We can win this thing.

“Peak Hillary? Reuters Baffled As...

Some Days the Bear Eats You

Paul Jacob / Townhall Columnist

There’s no accounting for taste, especially in humor.

For instance, the 1966 film The Russians Are Coming! the Russians Are Coming! is, to me, a classic. And I think Donald Trump’s recent sarcasm — “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing” — was funny.

And surprisingly appropriate to the situation.

Did the Russians give WikiLeaks the hacked DNC emails? We don’t know.

Did the Russians, Chinese and Iranians all hack Hillary’s vulnerable private server, gaining classified material? Probably.

Was Trump malevolently, traitorously standing in the middle of Fifth Avenue inviting a foreign adversary to criminally cyber-attack his political opponent, as his sarcastic remark was hyped? No.

Still, I’m not at all copasetic with Trump’s apparent buddy-fest with the President of the Russian Federation — and thug — Vladimir Putin. Anyone paying attention knows the dark forces at work in Putin’s Russia, with a state-dominated press, a lethal hostility to any journalists speaking out of turn and an electoral system where political opponents risk prison. Yet, Trump seems drawn to the authoritarians, if not authoritarianism, having been seemingly more impressed than disgusted by the Chinese government’s bloody 1989 crackdown on students occupying Tiananmen Square.

Unleash The Fury: Release Of Genetically Engineered Mosquitos to Fight Zika Cleared By FDA

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

The Zika virus is a topic of concern, especially with the Olympics kicking off in Rio De Janiero, Brazil—but I’m talking about the warning that was issued very close to home by the Centers for Disease Control. Fox News reported that for the first time since 1946, the CDC issued a warning to traveling Americans about venturing into a Miami neighborhood, where mosquitos carrying the virus have been detected. While Congress haggles over funding to fights the virus, the Federal Drug Administration has given the go-ahead to release genetically modified mosquitos to fight Zika’s spread in the state (via Fusion):

On Friday, the FDA released a final environmental assessment of the trial, finding that it “will not have significant impacts on the environment.” The project, led by Oxitec, a biotech company that focuses on insect control, calls for the release of thousands of genetically engineered male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The lab insects are bred so that over time they could kill off much of the local mosquito population by passing on a gene fatal to any offspring they have with wild females. 

This is not the last hurdle Oxitec faces in turning its dream of disease-obliterating mosquitoes into reality. The company will have to win the approval of the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District, which plans to vote on the proposal after issuing a survey testing local sentiment of Keys residents this fall. While past surveys have shown the project to have a majority of support, it has also had vocal naysayers. Some fear the environmental impacts that removing the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, a non-native species, might have. Others have more imaginative objections, such as conspiracy theories about the project.

Oxitec’s mosquitoes are engineered to include two copies of the baby-mosquito killing genes, overriding natural selection to make it almost certain that their offspring receive the killer gene from dad.

That’s pretty cool.

Iran humiliates Obama with footage of $400 million ransom for hostages
By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

A liar exposed in his lie by a nation that considers itself to be at war with the United States (skeptical? Get the details in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran), and the President of the United States to be a fool and a useful idiot for aiding them in that war. “Iran […]
