German 12-Year-old Boy Plants 1Million Trees, Takes Over UN Program to Plant a Trillion More

German 12-Year-old Boy Plants 1Million Trees, Takes Over UN Program to Plant a Trillion More

"......Ever since he was 9 years old, Felix Finkbeiner has been an international figurehead for saving the planet. In 2007, the German youngster founded a global youth movement called “Plant for the Planet” – an initiative that trains and recruits kids from around the world to plant trees as a means of combatting climate change.

Since its creation, the movement has already made significant progress with the help of over 100,000 enthusiastic youth between the ages of 9 and 12—and he planted his one-millionth tree in Germany when he was just twelve. Alongside the Paris Agreement, Finkbeiner’s campaign is a formidable defense of the planet....."

"......“Children could plant 1 million trees in every country on earth and offset CO2 emissions all on their own, while adults are still talking about doing it,” said Finkbeiner. His motto, “Stop talking, start planting,” suggests the same sentiment...."

Brutal MS-13 Murder Suspects Were Unaccompanied Minors from El Salvador

Brutal MS-13 Murder Suspects Were Unaccompanied Minors from El Salvador

"A pair of teenage brothers charged in the stabbing death of a 19-year-old in Maryland are nationals of El Salvador who arrived in the U.S. as unaccompanied minors, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

Lenin Mancias-Callejas and Bryan Mancias-Callejas, both 16, were arrested and charged Wednesday with first-degree murder in the killing of Herson Mejia-Alvarez, Prince George’s County Police said.

Both Mancias-Callejas brothers are illegal immigrants from El Salvador, a senior Department of Homeland Security official familiar with the matter told TheDCNF on Friday.

“DHS can confirm that Lenin Mancias-Callejas and Bryan Mancias-Callejas are natives of El Salvador who entered the United States as an Unaccompanied Alien Children [UAC] and are illegally present,” the official said on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly. ...."

Viral 'Walk Away' Videos Highlight Growing Movement of Democrats Leaving the Party

There is a very powerful video down the page a bit in this article I ask you to watch if you have time. Many in the gay community have come to realize the Democrats have strayed so far from what they say they represent that many are bailing and #WalkAway. 

The individual speaking in this video articulates all the reasons he and others are walking away.

Viral ‘Walk Away’ Videos Highlight Growing Movement of Democrats Leaving the Party

When actor James Woods tweeted out the hashtag “#WalkAway” in late June, even the alt-right missed the enormity of what lay beneath it. The Democratic Party had, in fact, struck an iceberg.

Some 5 million people on Facebook and YouTube have seen the video by now. A very handsome gay man, who you just assume is about to scold you on progressive talking points, instead says this:

“Once upon a time, I was a liberal. Well, to be honest, less than a year ago, I was still a liberal.."

How Can You Tell It's Over For Liberals?

Entire article is a good read if you have time. 

HOW CAN YOU TELL IT’S OVER FOR LIBERALS?

"......But always remember Rule #1 of liberalism and their media toadies: conservatives—and conservative politicians—are “divisive.” (You don’t even need a Cracker Jack decoder ring to know that “divisive” is lib-speak for “disagrees with liberalism.” ......."

".... The left just can’t help themselves when the “side of history” doesn’t conform to their will. The immediate default to reductio ad Hitlerum is a sign of the senescence of contemporary liberalism, of a creed that can no longer think. If “Literal Hitler” did actually appear amongst us—perhaps from some advanced genetic experiment or an AI bot gone wrong—the left would (will?) likely embrace him. Because Hitler was a socialist, don’t forget."

House Vote Adds To Pressure On Doj

HOUSE VOTE ADDS TO PRESSURE ON DOJ

"......Near the end of his heated colloquy with Rod Rosenstein, Congressman Jim Jordan asked, “Here’s my last question. What’s so important that you know, that you don’t want us to know, that you won’t give us the documents we’re asking for that the House of Representatives is about to go on record saying you should give us?”

Good question! Given the Department of Justice’s dogged refusal to provide information to the committees with oversight responsibility–and, even worse, its concealing of relevant information through obviously improper redactions–I infer that Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe and others at the DOJ and FBI are covering up a major scandal, perhaps the worst in American history."
