From The Mainstream Media -- Nothing About The Bakken -- January 5, 2017

Stanley Black and Decker will open a new $35 million manufacturing plant in the United States after acquiring Craftsman from Sears. USA Today suggests Stanley B&D made the announcement to "inoculate the company from the possible effects of the president-elect's threatened "border tax."

So, we'll add this to the #TrumpJobs page.

 Let's See, What's That Female Symbol Look Like Anyway?

See if you can spot the mistake:

For those who missed it: this was the Women's Inauguration March bulletin, a free daily tabloid urging women to join the million-women march on Washington. The "male" symbol was used for the cover to highlight the "million-women march."

Forward together! From the same group telling us the average global temperature will be 0.2 degrees warmer 83 years from now if we don't stop cows from passing gas.

Snopes Jumped On This Story Within Four Hours .....

Another great example of the "strawman argument."  No one ever said other presidents didn't get the same medal. All we're saying is that the boss got a participation medal from one of his employees.

.... Still Hasn't Updated Its "Analysis" of the Bakken

Snopes.com has never updated its March 10, 2011 "update" of the Bakken in which it noted:

According to news accounts, although new drilling techniques have greatly increased oil production in Bakken formation in recent years, as of February 2011 that region was still yielding less than half a million barrels per day. 

Yup, according to news accounts..... I think Hillary used Snopes.com for her own fact-checking.

Depravity That Would Outrage A Lot of Americans

The White House response to the 18-y/o white special needs man tortured by four African-American adults:

"They do demonstrate a level of depravity that is an outrage to a lot of Americans," Earnest said. "I have not spoken to the president but I'm confident he would be angered by the images depicted."

I'm not sure which Americans would not be outraged by this, but apparently, according to the White House, a lot of Americans would not have been outraged.
