Melania's homage to Diana: Elegant Mrs Trump takes inspiration from the princess's crisp navy and white ensembles for lunch at Buckingham Palace

First Lady Melania Trump, 49, has arrived in the UK with President Trump for the three-day State Visit

She donned a Dolce & Gabbana dress and matching Hervé Pierre hat as she arrived at Buckingham Palace

The ensemble was in crisp white with contrasting navy detailing - a favourite combination of Princess Diana

Earlier Mrs Trump wore a skirt suit and £650 ($820) Burberry blouse as she arrived at Stansted Airport

Ivanka Trump wore a three-piece ensemble from royal-approved label Alessandra Rich for the day's outings

Melania Trump appeared to be paying tribute to Princess Diana's timeless style as she joined the President at Buckingham Palace this afternoon.

The First Lady, 49, chose an ensemble in one of the late royal's favourite colour combinations - white and navy - for the engagement at Buckingham Palace.

The custom white Dolce & Gabbana dress featured a contrasting blue collar and flattering waist belt while her white Hervé Pierre hat was complete with a thick navy band around the brim. She finished the look with a pair of matching heels by Manolo Blahnik.

The crisp, tailored ensemble is reminiscent of several looks worn by Diana, including two white and navy skirt suits worn to public engagements throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.

Science and FACT versus...

The party of science deniers

Mr. Gore proceeded to warn both students and faculty at Wednesday’s annual Class Day convocation, stressing that “reason” and “rational debate” were under threat from what he called “ideology of authoritarianism” by those who disagree with him and his political agenda.

Science “is now being slandered as a conspiracy based on a hoax,” Mr. Gore said. “The subordination of the best scientific evidence is yet another strategy for controlling policy by distorting and suppressing the best available information.”

This is the man who told us in 2006 that we had “ten years to save the planet” and that the Arctic would be ice-free by summer of 2014. In case you haven’t checked lately, that has not happened, nor are we even close.

This is the man who, at the same time, said the gulf stream would slow down and cause untold climate devastation as the result. News flash: Current scientific data actually shows the gulf stream has had zero decrease and may actually be speeding up.

This is the man who warned polar bears would become extinct in just a handful of years because of their loss of habitat. Update: The facts show polar bear numbers are now at an all-time high.

This is the same man who told all of us “sea levels could rise by as much as 20 feet in the near future” when, in fact, current data shows that for decades the pace has been about 3mm per year and has not changed. That’s about the height of two dimes.

This is the same guy who prophesied the rise of CO2 levels would devastate the planet and cause untold human suffering, when in reality, the modest rise in CO2 we actually have experienced has resulted in a global greening that has relieved human poverty around the world.

This is a man who predicted the devastation of low-lying Pacific Island nations such as Tuvalu because of rising sea-levels when in fact Tuvalu and some other island nations have actually grown in landmass since Mr. Gore’s doom and gloom pronouncements.

Al Gore is the man who has not only ignored the scientific facts of all the above, but who also is aligned with the party that now has the temerity to deny the biological fact of a female, and thereby pretend that any male can become a female just because he “feels” like it.

'Unmasked' co-author Brent Bozell says ‘radicalized’ media wanted to destroy Trump, but it backfired

A new book, “Unmasked -- Big Media's War Against Trump,” examines how the media tried to destroy President Trump but destroyed themselves instead, co-author L. Brent Bozell III told Fox News.

“Never in the history of the republic have we seen such an assault on free speech,” Bozell said. “How left wing are the media? How radicalized have they become in the last two years? What is their goal?”

“Unmasked,” by Bozell and Tim Graham of the Media Research Center, hits stores on June 4. The conservative duo pored over “tens of thousands” of hours of news coverage from the Trump era and noticed a widespread problem rampant in the journalism industry. They put their findings in an easily digestible book for conservatives and journalism purists alike – and Bozell says readers will be shocked by the detailed account of the “utterly radicalized” liberal media.

“Their goals were two-fold. One was to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president and then to remove him,” Bozell said. “It’s not just an utter betrayal of their profession, but it’s also bringing into question a real challenge to democracy, where they don’t accept the will of the people and, through a campaign that includes absolute dishonesty, they are trying to create an atmosphere where the public will throw a duly elected president out of office. It’s dangerous stuff.”

Impeachment dam breaking as Pelosi deputies tip hand: ‘We’ve already begun’

While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is urging caution and patience in response to those in her party clamoring for impeachment proceedings against President Trump, her top deputies are signaling it’s only a matter of time before they begin.

South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-highest-ranking Democrat in the House, said in an interview Sunday that he believes impeachment proceedings ultimately will be launched against Trump at some point in the future. He suggested Democrats are already laying the groundwork in Congress.

“I think we’ve already begun,” Clyburn said on CNN's "State of the Union." “We’ve got all of these committees doing their work, we’re having hearings.

Steve Hilton: Mueller revealed his true self - a partisan establishment swamp lawyer

Populism is about fighting a corrupt establishment. And boy did we see them in action last week. This was the week that Robert Mueller put himself in the arena

With his bizarre new doctrine of "not not guilty," he overturned the presumption of innocence. Then, with his unsubtly coded call for the impeachment of President Trump, he revealed his real aim: Overturning the 2016 election.

Mueller was hired to be a neutral arbiter, to bring a clear conclusion that the country could unite behind. But on Wednesday, he ripped off the mask of neutrality and showed himself for what he is: A partisan in the fight between the populists and the establishment.

We shouldn't be surprised -- Mueller is the establishment. He's a swamp lawyer, as we told you months ago in our "Swamp Watch" episiode on the special counsel and his best buddy, James Comey last August.

Google Should Be Afraid. Very Afraid.

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- This is the moment the U.S. technology superpowers surely knew was coming: The U.S. government is preparing to crawl all over Google to figure out whether it is an abusive monopolist. Google parent company Alphabet Inc. and the other tech giants should be quaking in their fleece vests.

Bloomberg News and other news organizations reported late Friday that the U.S. Department of Justice is preparing to open an investigation into Google’s compliance with antitrust laws. If it goes forward, an investigation will no doubt be broad, lengthy, messy, and impossible for Google and its investors to predict.

That should terrify Google and every other big technology company — because there’s no guarantee that the antitrust Klieg light will turn on one company alone.

This isn’t Google’s first antitrust rodeo. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission in 2013 closed without further action its own antitrust investigation into whether Google wielded its dominant web search engine like a cudgel to disadvantage rivals, drive up prices for advertisers and ultimately harm consumers. (Google did agree to some voluntary changes.)

And in recent years, the European Union antitrust watchdog imposed billions of dollars in fines after finding antitrust violations, including over how Google conducted business with its Android smartphone software and its internet shopping service. In the U.S. and elsewhere, politicians from all party stripes have sought to attack Google or other tech giants for various perceived sins, including being too big for the good of industry and consumers. Being Google has meant dealing with perennial regulatory and political nightmares.

This latest chapter of “As Google Turns” may have started in January on Capitol Hill. “I don’t think big is necessarily bad, but I think a lot of people wonder how such huge behemoths that now exist in Silicon Valley have taken shape under the nose of the antitrust enforcers,” Bill Barr, now the U.S. attorney general, said to U.S. senators during a confirmation hearing. The DOJ’s chief antitrust enforcer, who represented Google during a merger more than a decade ago, has expressed similar views.

“I was a life long Democrat until this last election,” wrote Don Soulliere in an email to me. “And to be honest everyone I know feels that way too! Every person I have talked to said the same thing the Democrats have gone off the rails they have lost a lot of their base.”

I asked Soulliere whether any of the former Clinton voters he knows plan to vote for Trump in 2020.

“Everyone I know!” he responded.

Once again...

If Democrats had more than 2 brain cells to rub together, they would simply cede 2020 and put all their efforts into 2024 where they WON'T face President Trump...

Regretful Trump voters hard to come by in Michigan

NEW BALTIMORE, Mich. — Robert Rasch had never voted for president before 2016. Then Donald Trump came along, and finally there was a candidate he could get excited about.

Rasch admired Trump’s business background and political courage. “For somebody to stand up and run for president that has no political background, that’s a set of brass,” he said.

Rasch is one of millions of so-called lost voters whom Trump coaxed back to the voting booth in 2016. Rasch has already decided he’ll be voting for Trump again in 2020, based largely on the president’s stewardship of the economy.

“When you drive down 8 Mile [Road], 9 Mile, 10 Mile, a lot of those small industrial shops were closed a few years ago,” he said of the manufacturing-heavy southern part of Macomb County. “But now you see them being reconstructed to get new tenants in there.” Rasch and his wife Laurie’s small business, LR Embroidered Creations, paid less in taxes in 2018 thanks to tax reform. “We’ve felt the difference,” Rasch said.

“On a scale from 1 to 10, I think he’s doing an 8,” Rasch said of Trump’s overall performance. “He’s making a change for the good for everybody. I think he’s growing on people here.”

Rasch sees that growing support at the Anchor Bay Pit Stop Diner, where he and his friends talk politics on weekends. And he sees it among his store’s customers.

This is about politics. Democrat professor and election modeler Alan Lichtman of American University reported days ago that Trump cannot be beaten in 2020 based on his 13-part election model. So, he said, Democrats have only one option if they are to stop Trump: impeach him.

Finally, I believe Mueller‘s final statement simply provided Democrats with “talking points” for the 2020 election. Democrats can’t run on policy. Most of their radical agenda is hated and mocked by a majority of American-born voters. Pick your poison: Abortion after birth, open borders, sanctuary cities, higher taxes to save us from “climate change,” hate speech toward Jews and Israel, allowing transgender women to play sports with girls. They can’t run on any of that.

Democrats desperately need to keep ranting about impeachment, to keep MSNBC’s and CNN’s ratings from collapsing and to fire up their base of radical lunatics with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Mueller’s statement gave them something to talk about for the next 18 months.

Rep. Brad Sherman made me look smart on Thursday. He admitted in an MSNBC interview, “Impeachment is the only thing I can get on TV to talk about.” Indeed.

We all know the Clinton Foundation is a pay-for-play piggy bank for the Democratic Party. Pelosi and Schumer should ask the corrupt foundation to place $20 million in a Cayman bank account for Mueller. He’s certainly earned it.

Hope you guys are prepared for a 2020 Trump landslide re-election and 4 more years of me gloating like never before!! :D

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Wile E. Coyote vs. the Roadrunner

The Trump-Democrat Roadrunner vs. Wile E. Coyote dance continues. The poor Democrats are Wile E. Coyote. They never win. The Roadrunner is always right within their grasp … and then he gets away again and their hopes are dashed.

Don’t look now, but Trump the Roadrunner just got away. Again.

I’m talking about Robert Mueller’s preposterous retirement statement. For all intents and purposes, Mueller announced President Donald Trump may be guilty, even though he had no way to prove it. He dared Democrats to ignore the lack of evidence and impeach Trump.

You know what that makes Trump? Innocent. Because in this country, if you can’t be proven guilty in a court of law, you’re innocent.

Don’t take my word for it. Ask Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School professor emeritus and perhaps the most brilliant lawyer and legal scholar ever. He’s also a lifelong liberal Democrat who supported Hillary Clinton — and said so on my national radio and TV shows during multiple appearances.

Dershowitz called Mueller’s statement more irresponsible than fired FBI Director James Comey’s exoneration of Hillary.

Dershowitz continued, “Until today, I have defended Mueller … I have now changed my mind … By putting his thumb, indeed his elbow, on the scale of justice in favor of impeachment, Mueller has revealed his partisan bias. He has also distorted the role of a prosecutor in our justice system.”

If Liberals Were Held To Their Own Standards

Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) loves to moralize about President Trump, particularly about his finances. There’s nothing he would like more than to gain access to Trump’s tax returns, which, if he got them, would undoubtedly have select portions mysteriously find their way to the press.

Cummings is a proponent of the idea that Donald Trump is either compromised by his past business dealings, or could be bought by foreign governments booking rooms at his hotels.

The absurdity of a billionaire being “bought off” by a few thousand dollars spent in a hotel is only a smokescreen to stir up the Democratic base. What isn’t absurd is a Congressman with a history of financial problems suddenly becoming flush thanks to his wife’s business coming into millions from companies his committee oversees.

Cummings had a history of financial problems – missed mortgage payments and tax debt – stemming, in part, from child support payments he owed to his ex-wife and two other women who were not his wife. Curiously, his new wife brought financial security.

CARTOONS |
VIEW CARTOON
Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, Elijah’s second wife, is the Chair of the Maryland Democratic Party. She also has a couple of side organizations that are doing extremely well thanks to businesses with business before Cummings’ committee. She’s taken in millions, in fact. Good work, if you can get it.

What’s even more weird, one of those organizations – the “non-profit” – has a legal obligation to provide financial records to anyone who requests them. These records would show how much money came in and, more interestingly, how much went out and to whom. But the groups, called the Center for Global Policy Solutions, is refusing to turn over those records.

Media blockade on progressives is helping rig the Democratic primaries again

If there are 200 on-air news personalities on cable news, it would be surprising if more than two voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in 2016. There is almost universal disdain for Sanders on television and in print. Anyone who denies that and says that Sanders gets us much positive coverage as everyone else is living in an alternate reality. Does anyone in their right mind really think that Sanders is treated the same as the other candidates? Of course not.

Just in the last two weeks, there have been two hatchet jobs on him in The New York Times and Politico. But that’s par for the course and happens pretty much every week. If there’s ever a positive article about Sanders, it’s passed around like wildfire online because it’s so shocking that you have to share it with your friends like other online curiosities that are hard to believe.

If you can’t see the disparity between the coverage of South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D), which is nearly universally fawning and obsequious, and the coverage of Sanders, which is universally contemptuous and disdainful, you’re so biased you can’t even see your own bias.

Attorney General Barr’s Remarkable CBS News Interview
It would be impossible to improve on the excellence of his remarks.

In his muddled, obfuscatory farewell remarks, Special Counsel Robert Mueller strongly suggested that, although he and his cohort of Hillary Clinton acolytes had reached no conclusion as to whether President Trump had obstructed justice, Congress should address that question by means of the impeachment “process.” Why? Because Team Mueller had not been able to “exonerate” the President. But exoneration is a non-legal standard which completely inverts and perverts our system of justice which places the burden on the prosecution to prove its case.

In every criminal trial across America, the judge instructs the jury that the burden of proof rests with the prosecution and never, ever shifts to the defendant. The jury is told in no uncertain terms that the defendant has no burden of proof and no obligation to prove his or her innocence. It is up to the prosecution to prove each and every element of its case, and, if the prosecution fails to do so, then the jury’s verdict must be “not guilty.”

These legal principles are not arcane, little-known concepts. Nevertheless, they seem to have eluded former FBI Director Mueller and his band of angry law school graduates who seem to think that they are in the exoneration business instead of determining whether the evidence meets the burden of proof as to each and every element of the crime of obstruction of justice.
https://spectator.org/attorney-general-barrs-remarkable-cbs-news-interview/

Exhibit B of Hyper Hysterical President Trump Derangement Syndrome..

With VERY few exceptions, everyone here demands that President Trump prove his innocence..

Ignoring the FACT that our entire system of jurisprudence is just the opposite.. An accuser must PROVE the guilt...

President Trump is completely innocent of Russia Collusion AND Obstruction, simply by the failure of Trump/America haters to prove guilt...

Byron York: Law enforcement, media changed standards for Trump

One of the more unfortunate effects of the Trump-Russia investigation — and there have been many — is the weakening of traditional standards of argument and proof in the public debate over allegations that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to fix the 2016 election. (Just for the record: It didn't.)

In particular, angry disputes about the president have done terrible harm to the principle that an investigator, be it a journalist or a prosecutor, should meet at least some standard of proof before leveling an accusation.

Two examples. First is the so-called Steele dossier, the collection of wild allegations against Trump compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

nypost does tend to be a bit extreme in its wingnut bias. i'd say a decent measure of bias in a news source is whether the editorials and the news pages tend to show appreciably different bias levels. reputable outlets such as the new york times and the wall street journal generally keep their news and their opinions in different sections. the new york post, not so much.

Same can be said with CNN and WaPoop..

Looking for some great weekend reading? Look no further than the transcript of the CBS News interview with Attorney General William Barr.

SCUMBAG SHOOTER was violent with co-workers before Virginia Beach shooting: report

The gunman who shot dead 12 people at a Virginia Beach municipal building had been facing disciplinary action for a violent fight at work, according to a report.

SCUMBAG SHOOTER, 40, was still employed as an engineer with the Department of Public Utilities when he went on his shooting rampage Friday, killing 12 and injuring several others, including a cop.

But he recently started showing serious behavioral problems and got into physical “scuffles” with other city workers, a source told The New York Times.

So the Navy is now rejecting orders from the White House, and we have proof.

The WSJ article had a lot of hearsay, but no direct proof that the White House had tried to dishonor the Navy by asking that the USS John McCain (named after two Admirals and a POW/Navy Flyer/Senator - i.e. three generations of American heroes).

The Navy re-activated the long-dormant Navy Chief of Information Twitter account to post the actual orders from the White House (see link below).

Like the Evangelicals who overlook Trump's venality, lack of any Christian lifestyle, three wives with a lot of overlap, etc., not the Trump supporting military and ex-military members are proving they put party before country and our armed services.

Sure..

So, reasonable restrictions....

Just as there are reasonable restrictions on gun ownership.. Have to be an adult.. Can't have certain crimes on your record.. Background check when you purchase a gun...

Reasonable restrictions....

But the hysterical anti-gun nuts want a GUN BAN.. Or, at the very least, make gun ownership so onerous that no one wants to go thru the hassle..

You complain that GETTING AN I.D. is too onerous to vote, fer christ's sake!! But YOU want training and classes and insurance to own a gun!!??

Ridiculous....

Has Freedom Of Assembly ever killed people.. Let's ask black Americans who suffered when the KKK assembled..

Has freedom of religion ever killed people??

Well, the people who voted for George Bush caused a lot of people to die in Iraq..

So, the answer to your question is obvious..

So would threatening speech aimed at strangers. Videotaping or recording without permission can get you into trouble in most places. Same is true of taking pictures.

Penny Nance: World's tiniest surviving preemie shows abortion isn’t in line with science or common sense

This week the nation’s imagination was captivated by a beautiful newborn baby girl called Saybie, who left the hospital weighing 5 pounds, 6 ounces. Doctors said she was born in December only 23 weeks into her mother’s pregnancy and was just about the size of an apple, weighing less than 9 ounces.

Her parents were told that Saybie – a name used by her care team – couldn’t survive. But Saybie’s parents didn’t give up hope. Modern medical science saved this tiny baby’s precious life and she is now thriving.
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/penny-nance-worlds-tiniest-surviving-preemie-shows-abortion-isnt-in-line-with-science-or-common-sense

Democrats would say that Saybie wasn't really a person and that her mother could have aborted her if the mother chose to do so..

That's not a choice that a woman should be given..

If the woman doesn't want a child, then adoption is the better solution than murder..

I don't believe you have the right to do so, either.

And I don't believe that women should have the right to kill their children...

I don't believe in abortion as a form of birth control..

By: Michale

Of course they are. What they aren't is liddle semi-possible lives. They have had long lives and are entitled to the best care possible. But they can't survive on their own. Which is your criteria for a baby... If the criteria for "life" is not being able to survive independently, then there are millions of people who are not "life" as you define it.. I'll ask the same question I asked Liz.. Are you in favor of abortion right up to the point of birth?? 'Course the problem seems to be that as soon as a human is born, Republicans don't care about them any more. Sucks, huh? And Democrats don't care about them right up to the point of birth. So how is that any different than Republicans??

That is a good question that I believe should be up to the women and her caregivers to answer.

Who speaks for the child??

I also think that the other choices should be easier for a woman, especially a woman with little or no means.

Killing the baby should NEVER be an option..

If it must be then it should NEVER be easier...

When I woman makes the difficult choice to abort her baby, then who are we - who know nothing of her circumstances - to make the decision for her?

Again, who speaks for the child??

Consider a person on a ventilator or other life-saving devices..... Are those people "viable outside the womb"? Of course they are. What they aren't is liddle semi-possible lives. They have had long lives and are entitled to the best care possible. And as Neil notes, there is the possibility of a euthanasia law, which properly written, would give each of them an out.

Here is a simple solution. If a woman wants to terminate her pregnancy under rules that are currently legal, but the law is changed so she can't, then she has basically been raped by the father, who should then be put in jail for at least 10 years.

That should solve the problem. Men will be very careful not to get a woman pregnant because if she states in advance that she doesn't want to have a baby, then the responsible party is the man, and he will pay the financial costs and spend 10 years in prison.
