Charlie Spiering reports at Breitbart:

President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, according to a report from Axios reporter Jonathan Swan citing two sources with knowledge of the decision.

The news was confirmed by several mainstream media outlets.

The decision wreaks havoc on former President Barack Obama's legacy as president, despite pleas from world leaders for the United States to show leadership on climate change and remain in the agreement.

"Trump's decision fulfills a key campaign promise to supporters of his run for president, widely supported by Republican members of congress who felt that the treaty unfairly jeopardized the American economy," Breitbart states.

Toni Airaksinen reports at Campus Reform:

More videos have been released showing a black professor endorsing violence against whites, including one in which he remarks that "white people dying . . . has generally worked."

Professor Tommy Curry of Texas A&M University (TAMU) became a focus of controversy earlier this month when a recording of a 2012 podcast interview resurfaced, in which he discussed "killing white people in context" and asserted that "in order to be liberated, some white people may have to die."

Here's Professor Curry's webpage at TAMU.

Jarrin Jackson writes at Conservative Review:

Insurgents conducted an ambush in a busy marketplace. Rockets. The exchange of machine gun fire. Then silence.

A few minutes later, a truck zipped into our base and stopped at our aid station. An insurgent was sprawled over the hood, two wounded Afghan police were on litters, and two dead Afghan police officers were heaped in the bed.

I helped transfer the wounded into the aid station and turned around to see some Afghan police dragging their buddies' corpses around the corner of a wall.

They left them on the ground. The flies were grateful. 

Fast forward to the end of that deployment. A rocket killed one of my soldiers . . .

Katie Jerkovich reports at the Daily Caller:

Donald Rumsfeld shut down Joy Behar on The View Thursday when she argued with him that Hillary Clinton actually won the election because she got more votes.

"Well he [Donald Trump] lost by more than three million votes in the popular vote. He won the electoral vote," Behar explained to the former Secretary of Defense.

"What counts?" Rumsfeld responded.

"Well the electoral vote counts," Behar answered.

"I thought so," Rumsfeld said.

What this means, Ms. Behar, is that Hillary Clinton did not actually win the election.

Behar knows this but keep babbling away. Almost as if she's saying something.

Craig Bannister writes at CNSNews.com:

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell issued a statement Friday condemning liberal calls for advertisers to boycott conservative commentator Sean Hannity.

The unwarranted boycott push is part of liberals' efforts to silence conservative views and re-establish a monopoloy of the information the American public can access.

Here at Newsbusters is the full statement from Bozell:

The attack on Sean Hannity is a part of the liberal strategy to re-establish their monopoly over television news. They want only one voice on the air: their own. All others must be silenced.

We now see elements of corporate America joining in the liberal cause and advancing the liberal strategy. These corporations are not serving the interests of their customers.

Sponsoring a free, meaningful dialogue based on mutual respect reflects what happens among consumers in everyday life. When corporations withdraw from that debate, it does not serve the interests of their country, it merely makes them servants of the politically correct.

It is especially disappointing that an upstanding company like USAA would so easily succumb to the pressure of left-wing extremists. For decades, Sean Hannity has been a fierce supporter of the military at every turn. And this is how you treat him?

We have remained silent for far too long. A bridge has been crossed. Stay tuned.

No doubt, members of USAA will not be pleased with the company's caving to politically correct extremism. You can contact USAA at 800-531-8722.

The Black Lives Matter movement will receive the Sydney Peace Prize, an award given by the Sydney Peace Foundation --  part of the University of Sydney -- and be honored at an event in the city in November, the foundation announced this week.

Black Lives Matter was chosen for allegedly "building a powerful movement for racial equality, courageously reigniting a global conversation around state violence and racism. And for harnessing the potential of new platforms and power of people to inspire a bold movement for change at a time when peace is threatened by growing inequality and injustice," the foundation's website states.

"Defenders of law enforcement against the often-violent, racially charged and hateful rhetoric of the Black Lives Matter movement, which often openly advocates for violence against police, expressed disapproval," Lifezette states.

"Giving a peace prize to a group that foments violent demonstrations would be enough to give irony a bad name," observed Georgetown law professor William Otis, according to Lifezette.

Monica Showalter writes at American Thinker:

Following the toppling of at least five statues of the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, angry mobs startled the ruling regime by burning down Chavez's childhood home, set up as a shrine to his socialist revolution by his supporters.

 It surely takes the anger and bitterness in the streets to another level. We no longer hear much in the way of restraining voices for non-violence in that socialist hellhole much. The mob has taken over and the monuments are beginning to topple.

 It's a sign of a growing civil war, in fact, and like most of such events it could be very bloody. In the midst of the largely non-violent Velvet Revolutions of Eastern Europe in 1989, the sorry end of the region's worst dictator, Nicolae Ceaucescu, was the exception -- dragged from his palace hideaway to some wall by angry rebel troops and summarily shot as crowds cheered.

"The other Nicholas, Nicolas Maduro, seems to be headed for the same fate, given the efforts to take down the relics of the illegitimate regime," Showalter writes.

Warner Todd Huston reports at Breitbart:

A new survey finds that customer satisfaction has plunged as retail giant Target continues to struggle to recover from its now one-year-old financial slide.

Target has gone four full quarters slipping in a variety of metrics from profits, stock prices, and even perception of its brand name. But a new survey by investment bank Cowen has also found that customer satisfaction has also tumbled.

The survey of 2,500 Target customers shows declines across the board, including customer service, merchandise selection, and overall quality. According to the survey, Target's satisfaction level has fallen 383 points to 66.7 percent, MSN Money reported.

"As MSN ruefully noted, 'It appears unhappy Target shoppers could be taking their business elsewhere'," Breitbart reports.

Meanwhile, Target has been shuttering "high-priority projects" amid a continuing downturn in the corporation's financial well-being.

"The company’s stock price hit $64.77 at market close on Feb. 8," Breitbart states, which "was down from $83 when the boycott began
. . . when the company made its transgender policy on April 19 of last year."

According to Breitbart, Target closed "May 19 at just under $56 . . . a far cry from its high of $84.14 seen last year."

Lesson: People would rather shop at stores where, among other things, a) women and children are less likely to be endangered in bathrooms and dressing rooms, and b) where mainstream commerce and not extremist social policy is the order of the day.

"A man was shot and killed in northwest Harris County after investigators say he broke into a home and attacked the family inside," KTRK TV reports from Cypress, Texas, a community in the northwest Houston metro area. "Detectives say the intruder was wearing nothing but his underwear," according to KTRK.

"The pastor's daughter says her whole life her family hasn't believed in owning a gun but she now feels strongly that if her brother-in-law did not have his gun, they may not all be here today," Courtney Fischer of KTRK reports on the video that accompanies the news story. 

Comment: Self-defense is an inalienable human right that expresses the primordial will-to-life integral to human beings created in the image of a verifiable, reality-oriented, and living Creator who affirms the individual human as a creature of great significance and worth. This is humane wisdom for life in a broken world where hell can break loose at 2 AM.

Foxnews.com reports:

Roger Ailes, who built Fox News into a cable powerhouse before leaving the company last year, died Thursday morning at the age of 77.

The Ohio-born television pioneer was a confidante of presidents and an acknowledged master of communications. He founded Fox News in 1996 and built it into the nation's long-running No. 1 cable news network Ailes resigned from Fox in July amid charges of sexual harassment.

According to Fox, his wife Elizabeth Ailes released the following statement:

I am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report that my husband, Roger Ailes, passed away this morning. Roger was a loving husband to me, to his son Zachary, and a loyal friend to many. He was also a patriot, profoundly grateful to live in a country that gave him so much opportunity to work hard, to rise -- and to give back.

"The cause of death was not immediately released," Fox News reports.

Joshua Rhett Miller reports at the NYPost:

A dean at Yale University who championed cultural sensitivity has apologized for her "insensitive" Yelp reviews of restaurants, gyms and movie theaters, including hot takes on what "white trash" customers would find tasty and employees she blasted as "barely educated morons."

June Chu, dean of Yale's Pierson College, apologized for the offending reviews, which had been circulating among students for several months, after the Yale Daily News published screenshots on Saturday.

"To put it quite simply: If you are white trash, this is the perfect night out for you!" Chu said in a review of a Japanese eatery, according to the Post.

“This establishment is definitely not authentic by any stretch of any imagination and perfect for those low class folks who believe this is a real night out. Over salted and greasy food. Side note: employees are Chinese, not Japanese," Chu wrote, the Post reports.

Comment: Modern day "diversity" is a weakness, not a strength.

It makes an idol out of differences and thereby creates an unresolvable tension among these very demanding gods as they vie for cultural supremacy. White vs. black vs. brown vs. red vs. yellow is the world these deities long to create and must create. 

Clearly, this "diversity" is division, not strength. Weakness, not strength. It is an ideology that breeds a hatred for differences, not the embrace of them.

It fosters people and groups with superiority complexes and chips on their shoulders. It puts "victims" in charge of guillotines.

Cultural hatreds and insensitivies are not anomalous outcomes of such "diversity" but rather its natural by-products. And by that fruit you can evaluate the merits of what poses as "diversity" on campus today.

Racism we will have with us as long this world remains broken and unhealed.

Chu's "white trash" comment suggests she may be a racist. But even if not, she will walk, talk, and quack like a racist if she drinks deep that campus Kool-Aid bottled and sold as "diversity."

This is true of her and millions like her on campuses across America today. It could make the racism of yesterday pale in comparison to the racism of tomorrow -- at Yale and around the world.

"Diversity" has a big problem: It makes everything OKKK.

It's tough out there for a student on today's university campus.

There's so much dark wood paneling.

The impact on minority students is especially troubling, according to reports from the field: "[M]inority students" at the University of Michigan "felt marginalized by quiet imposing masculine paneling."

Whew! What these precious young minds have to deal with these days! Just to survive and thrive on campus.

No worries. HeatStreet brings you the latest action reports from the bravest of the brave at the University of Michigan.

Chris Pandolfo writes at CR:

As Antifa violence sweeps college campuses across the nation, there is hope in knowing some college students are rejecting the extreme tactics of the far-left.

In an op-ed from the editors of The New Paltz Oracle titled "This isn't Berkeley," the official student newspaper of SUNY New Paltz condemned the presence of Antifa, which it characterizes as "a far-left paramilitary group," on their campus.

"Antifa protesters have a nasty habit of turning their 'protests' into full blown riots -- destroying property, setting fires alight, and physically assaulting those they disagree with," Pandolfo writes.

"The editorial board of The New Paltz Oracle should be congratulated for defending free speech against political violence," Pandolfo concludes. "Hopefully other student groups across America will do the same."

AFP reports:

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro fired his health minister after statistics showed infant deaths surging, as elderly protesters angry over medicine shortages planned fresh rallies Friday demanding the socialist leader quit.

The health ministry on Wednesday released data showing deaths of infants under the age of one soared by 30 percent in 2016 and deaths of women linked to childbirth by 65 percent.

The government replaced minister Antonieta Caporale on Thursday with Luis Lopez Chejade, the official journal said.

Wednesday's data referred to 2016, but Caporale took over as health minister only in January this year.

"Hospitals and protesters are complaining of severe shortages of medical supplies from an economic crisis that has fueled opposition calls for early elections," accoridng to AFP.

"Elected in 2013, Maduro is resisting pressure for an early vote, calling the crisis a U.S.-backed conspiracy," AFP reports.

According to Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart:

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) reported on Thursday that the number of measles cases diagnosed in the state has jumped to 41, an increase of seven reported cases over the last 24 hours.

Thirty-eight cases have been reported in Hennepin County, two in Ramsey County and one in Crow Wing County

MDH says that "34 of the cases are Somali Minnesotan."

Who knew? Measles is racist.

And so is the MDH, for targeting and focusing on Somalis, the result of said targeting is to harm disproportionately women, children, and minorities in particular. And of course, illegal immigrants, none of whom are illegal.

May the gods, goddesses, and transgods of PC Heaven save us.

Speaking of which, try this powerful medicine: Self-identify as healed. Measles begone! Learned that at Berkeley.

By the way, there are $50 doctorates from the Cayman Islands if you're too busy fighting oppression to make time for all that rigorous study. Berkeley or the Caymans. No diff.  

OR: Drop the PC mythology and go to real doctors, especially ones not infected by measles or by political correctness. If you want to save the children. Then clean up Minnesota. Their heads may be frozen. Melt that racism.

Joshua writes at CCD:

Taking advantage of the convenience from the Internet, some Christians, including a portion of pastors and preachers, plagiarize the information they want.

They copy and paste the content they discover and pass it off as their own.

Whick, of course, is lying. But we digress. Joshua continues:

Their articles are published in their WeChat official accounts and in various church magazines.

Even those plagiarized sermons are preached in the pulpit in the name of "a voice heard from the Holy Spirit," which gives the preachers praise from their congregations. . . .

Brandon Morse reports at The Blaze:

A Venezuelan YouTuber known as Carlos Gaio released a video Monday that he says will turn into a series titled My Socialist Hell.

In the video, Gaio goes into detail about the conditions he is currently living in within the failing country of Venezuela. Currently, Venezuela is suffering from a shortage of almost everything, from food, to medicine, to something as simple as toilet paper.

"Gaio begins by saying that his government is not actually a government, it is more accurately a dictatorship," the Blaze continues. Gaio "says they are running the country as a socialist one, but as Gaio notes in the video, 'If you take a look at history, socialism never worked'," the Blaze reports.

According to the Blaze, "Gaio hopes that these videos will help him raise money in order to be able to escape the country, and move somewhere where he can have a 'normal life'."

Will Racke reports at the Daily Caller:

More than 20 immigrant workers in Michigan were stunned to find themselves out of a job after they skipped work to attend a "Day Without Immigrants" rally in February.

The former employees of Detroit-area auto parts maker EZ Industrial Solutions LLC say they were wrongfully fired, despite warnings from company management that there would be repercussions for missing work without permission.

"EZ Industrial Solutions says it acted within the law when it fired the workers," the Daily Caller states.

"Operations manager Jordan Yoder defended the company's actions in an e-mailed statement to the Free Press: 'The law is quite clear that employees can't just not show up to work when the're expected, and also that they are not free to participate in political, non-work related protests during their work day without consequences'."
