Listen To Ann Coulter Pretend She Likes Jews While Making Vile Anti-Semitic Statement (AUDIO)Donald Trump s number one fangirl, Ann Coulter, believes we have a superior culture we must keep pure. To that end, she thinks that small pockets of certain types of people in the U.S. are fine, so long as they don t overwhelm our wealthy, white, Christian, European culture. Guess who else she said that about? Jewish people.In an interview with BBC Radio 4, the following exchange took place: Americans don t want immigration, Coulter said, demanding a complete halt. They don t want any more. Why can t we have a home? BBC interviewer James Naughtie challenged her: If someone had said that about Jewish immigration into New York a century ago, would you have approved of it? Oh God, not the Jews again, the exasperated Coulter exclaimed. That s like two percent of the population, she added. That did not overwhelm our culture.' Listen to her her put her bigotry on full display below: Why can t we have a home? We do have a home. That question makes absolutely no sense she acts like white Christians are being forced out. Has that ever happened to a culture before? Oh, wait, yes it has, when her vaunted white, Christian Europeans forced Native Americans out of their homes.Seeing as how Christianity was born from Judaism, and Jesus Christ himself was a Jew, she takes an odd position on Jews. But Coulter is one of the worst bigots we ve got that s why she supports Donald Trump. Despite her enduring love for him though, while Trump was talking about how Israel has no greater supporter than himself during one of the GOP debates last year, she tweeted, How many f ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States? The implication is that she believes Jews have an outsized influence here. She claims that s not the case, though; she was merely talking about how Republicans act like our Jewish population has an outsized influence. She s not the anti-Semite here; or, at least, on her planet she s not an anti-Semite.That s in spite of the fact that she also said, at the time, that Republicans are merely pandering to the Jews. Who is she pandering to, then? Probably Donald Trump.She says anti-Semitic stuff fairly frequently, and then she puts on her walking contradiction costume when she defends herself: Anyone with a pulse knows I am pro-Israel and against the enemies of the Jewish people. I have a whole chapter in my current book praising Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It s the people attacking me who couldn t care less about Israel or Jews. She ll never admit she s said something sick and wrong. That s probably another reason she s a Trump fangirl. He doesn t admit when he s wrong, either. Sure, the Jewish population here is okay, but she d want them deported in a nanosecond if their population exploded. Her hateful, bigoted self needs the comfort of white, Christian Europeans all around her. Everyone else is a threat.Featured image by Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesNews | 0 | listen to ann counter pretend she likes jews while making vile statement audio donald trump number one fangirl ann counter believes superior culture must keep pure to end thinks small pockets certain types people fine long overwhelm wealthy white christian european culture guess else said jewish interview bbc radio following exchange took place americans want immigration counter said demanding complete halt they want why home bbc interviewer james naughty challenged if someone said jewish immigration new york century ago would approved oh god jews exaggerated counter exclaimed that like two percent population added that overwhelm culture listen put bigotry full display why home we home that question makes absolutely sense acts like white christians forced has ever happened culture oh wait yes haunted white christian european forced native americans christianity born judaism jesus christ jew takes odd position jews but counter one worst rights got supports donald trump despite enduring love though trump talking israel greater supporter one gop debates last year tweeted how many f ing jews people think united states the implication believes jews outside influence she claims case though merely talking republicans act like jewish population outside influence she least planet spite fact also said time republicans merely wandering jews who wandering probably donald says stuff fairly frequently puts walking contradiction costume defends anyone pulse knows i enemies jewish people i whole chapter current book praising israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu it people attacking care less israel jews she never admit said something sick wrong that probably another reason trump fangirl he admit wrong either sure jewish population okay want deported nanosecond population exploded her hateful sighted self needs comfort white christian european around everyone else image chip imagenes |
Transcripts of Clinton's Wall Street talks released in new Wikileaks dump(Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s full remarks to several Wall Street audiences appeared to become public on Saturday when the controversial transparency group Wikileaks dumped its latest batch of hacked emails. The documents showed comments by Clinton during question-and-answer sessions with Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein and Tim O’Neill, the bank’s head of investment management, at three separate events in 2013 in Arizona, New York and South Carolina. Some excerpts of Clinton’s speeches had already been released. For more than a week, Wikileaks has published in stages what it says are hacked emails from the account of John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman. Clinton’s campaign has declined to verify the emails. Goldman Sachs did not immediately provide any comment on Saturday. Clinton came under fire for months for not releasing full details of her paid speeches to big business audiences, as opponents accused her of a cozy relationship with bankers and other members of the U.S. financial system. The excerpts that have surfaced so far angered voters who backed Clinton’s former Democratic opponent, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, who endorsed her after losing the party’s primary. Few of these voters are expected to vote for Republican nominee Donald Trump, who is dealing with his own larger scandal after the release last week of a 2005 video in which he bragged about making unwanted sexual advances toward women. But Democratic strategists worry that disappointment with Clinton could hurt turnout in the Nov. 8 election among liberals and younger voters, posing a potential problem for the former secretary of state. In the email released on Saturday containing the transcripts, Clinton campaign staff highlighted sections that could pose problems, including saying “political reasons” factored into passing the 2010 Dodd-Frank law on Wall Street reforms and, while talking about regulation, saying the people who work in the industry know it best. politicsNews | 1 | transcripts clinton wall street talks released new wikileaks dump reuters democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton full remarks several wall street audiences appeared become public saturday controversial transparency group wikileaks dumped latest batch hacked emails the documents showed comments clinton sessions goldman sachs chief executive lloyd blankfein tim o neil bank head investment management three separate events arizona new york south carolina some excerpts clinton speeches already released for week wikileaks published stages says hacked emails account john modesta clinton campaign chairman clinton campaign declined verify emails goldman sachs immediately provide comment saturday clinton came fire months releasing full details paid speeches big business audiences opponents accused copy relationship bankers members financial system the excerpts surfaced far angered voters backed clinton former democratic opponent senator bernie sanders endorsed losing party primary few voters expected vote republican nominee donald trump dealing larger scandal release last week video dragged making unwanted sexual advances toward women but democratic strategist worry disappointment clinton could hurt turnout election among liberals younger voters posing potential problem former secretary state in email released saturday containing transcripts clinton campaign staff highlighted sections could pose problems including saying political reasons factored passing law wall street reforms talking regulation saying people work industry know best politicsnews |
Jailed Cameroon writer who criticized government to be expelled - lawyerDOUALA (Reuters) - A prize-winning New York-based Cameroonian novelist will be freed from jail and expelled from his native country after being held for nearly three weeks on charges of insulting and threatening the president, his lawyer said on Wednesday. Patrice Nganang was arrested on Dec. 7 as he prepared to board a flight to Kenya, and accused of insulting President Paul Biya. The government later said he had threatened Biya in posts on Facebook. A literature professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Nganang was born in Cameroon and holds dual Cameroonian and U.S. nationality. Nganang s lawyer, Emmanuel Simh, told Reuters that a judge had dismissed the government s charges and ordered his client released. Simh later said the authorities had retained Nganang s Cameroonian passport and that he would be placed on an afternoon flight to the United States. According to (the government), he is an American who does not have a right to this passport, Simh said. Nganang s supporters say the accusations against him were politically motivated and related to a Dec. 5 piece he wrote for Paris-based magazine Jeune Afrique, in which he criticized a government crackdown on Cameroon s English-speaking minority. Since last year, the government, which is dominated by members of the French-speaking majority, has repressed protests by English speakers who say they are socially and economically marginalized. Dozens of civilians have been killed in unrest that has fueled support for separatists seeking an independent state. Some separatists have launched armed attacks on state forces, creating the most serious challenge to Biya s 35-year rule. Thousands of English speakers have fled across the border into neighboring Nigeria. Cameroonian law forbids adults from holding dual nationality, although the prohibition is unevenly enforced. Cameroon s government spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment. English speakers make up around a fifth of the population of Cameroon, which was formed when parts of a formerly British-ruled territory joined the larger, newly independent French-speaking Republic of Cameroon in 1961. The past year s violence is the latest example of how Biya s rule has grown increasingly intolerant of dissent, with opposition activists, journalists and intellectuals routinely arrested and sometimes prosecuted. A Cameroonian reporter for Radio France Internationale was released from prison last week after more than two years behind bars for contact with the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, in a case that drew international condemnation. worldnews | 1 | jailed cameroon writer criticized government expelled lawyerdouala reuters a new cameroonian novelist freed jail expelled native country held nearly three weeks charges insulting threatening president lawyer said wednesday patrick nganang arrested prepared board flight kenya accused insulting president paul bia the government later said threatened bia posts facebook a literature professor state university new york stony brook nganang born cameroon holds dual cameroonian nationality nganang lawyer emmanuel sim told reuters judge dismissed government charges ordered client released sim later said authorities retained nganang cameroonian passport would placed afternoon flight united states according government american right passport sim said nganang supporters say accusations politically motivated related piece wrote magazine jeune afrique criticized government crackdown cameroon minority since last year government dominated members majority repressed protests english speakers say socially economically marginalized dozens civilians killed unrest fueled support separatists seeking independent state some separatists launched armed attacks state forces creating serious challenge bia rule thousands english speakers fled across border neighboring nigeria cameroonian law forbids adults holding dual nationality although prohibition uneven enforced cameroon government spokesman could immediately reached comment english speakers make around fifth population cameroon formed parts formerly territory joined larger newly independent republic cameroon the past year violence latest example bia rule grown increasingly intolerant dissent opposition activists journalists intellectuals routinely arrested sometimes prosecuted a cameroonian reporter radio france internationale released prison last week two years behind bars contact islamic militant group book haram case drew international condemnation worldnews |
Watch Bernie Sanders DESTROY Republican Ranting About ‘Homos’ In The MilitaryNewly unearthed video shows Bernie Sanders giving a hatemongering Republican representative a piece of his mind for referring to homos serving in the military.The video, from 1995, shows then Rep. Bernie Sanders taking to the floor in the House of Representatives in response to the slur from Republican Rep. Duke Cunningham.Cunningham used the term when he said, Is there any shocking doubt, the same people that would vote to cut defense $177 billion, the same ones that would put homos in the military, the same ones that would not fund BRAC, the same ones that would not clean up Then Sanders cut him short:https://www.facebook.com/HuffingtonPost/videos/10153689923086130/ My ears may have been playing a trick on me, but I thought I heard the gentleman a moment ago say something quote unquote about homos in the military, Sanders said. Was I right in hearing that expression? Absolutely, Cunningham responded. Putting homosexuals in the military. Was the gentleman referring to the thousands and thousands of gay people who have put their lives on the line in countless wars defending this country? Was that the groups of people that the gentleman was referring to? You have insulted thousands of men and women who have put their lives on the line, Sanders continued. I think they are owed an apology. Even conservative Republicans don t use language like that anymore (at least in public), but it is jarring to hear that kind of slur from a member on the floor of the House, just a little over twenty years ago.While Duke Cunningham didn t back down to Sanders, a decade after this exchange, karma caught up with him. Cunningham was arrested and charged with accepting at least $2.4 million in bribes and underreporting his taxable income. In 2005 he pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion. He spent 2005-13 in prison.Featured image via screen captureNews | 0 | watch bernie sanders destroy republican ranting about homes in the militarynewly unearthed video shows bernie sanders giving hatemongering republican representative piece mind referring homes serving video shows bernie sanders taking floor house representatives response slur republican duke used term said is shocking doubt people would vote cut defense billion ones would put homes military ones would fund brac ones would clean then sanders cut short https my ears may playing trick i thought i heard gentleman moment ago say something quote quote homes military sanders said was i right hearing expression absolutely cunningham responded putting homosexuals military was gentleman referring thousands thousands gay people put lives line countless wars defending country was groups people gentleman referring you insulted thousands men women put lives line sanders continued i think owed apology even conservative republicans use language like anymore least public jarring hear kind slur member floor house little twenty years duke cunningham back sanders decade exchange karma caught cunningham arrested charged accepting least million bribes underreporting taxable income in pleaded guilty federal charges conspiracy commit bribery mail fraud wire fraud tax evasion he spent image via screen capturenews |
Kenya officials change way of announcing election resultsNAIROBI (Reuters) - Official results from Kenya s repeat presidential election on Thursday are likely to take several days to collate, election officials told Reuters, due to changes in the process to try to make it more transparent. The Supreme Court on Sept. 1 ordered a repeat of the election after judges annulled the results of an Aug. 8 poll, pitting incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta against opposition leader Raila Odinga, due to procedural irregularities. Official results said Kenyatta won on Aug. 8 by 1.4 million votes, but Odinga said the vote was rigged. Odinga has refused to participate in Thursday s rerun because he said election officials have not carried out sufficient reforms. Judges criticized the election board for rushing to announce the official results based only on numbers sent from the polling stations, without having the tally forms from all 40,883 polling stations showing the results. The paper forms are a back-up system meant to help prevent rigging. The board has up to a week to announce official results. This time, polling stations will only transmit scanned images of tally forms from polling stations, not numerical results, Andrew Limo, spokesman for the election commission, said on Tuesday. The scanned images will be posted online. The election board will collate and publish results by constituency once all polling stations there have reported. This could take several days in rural constituencies with poor phone networks and far-flung polling stations. There are 290 constituencies. Without Odinga running, Kenyatta is the firm favorite to win. The other six candidates failed to poll more than 1 percent in the August polls; one has since been disqualified for bankruptcy. Odinga has urged supporters to boycott the ballot and opposition leaders have called for protests on the day of the elections. The key thing to watch in this election will be turnout, said Murithi Mutiga, a senior regional analyst for the International Crisis Group, a global thinktank. This will really be a referendum on the legitimacy of Kenyatta s second term. Just over 79 percent of Kenya s 19.6 million registered voters cast a ballot in the last poll. worldnews | 1 | kenya officials change way announcing election resultsnairobi reuters official results kenya repeat presidential election thursday likely take several days collage election officials told reuters due changes process try make transparent the supreme court ordered repeat election judges annulled results poll pitting incumbent president hurt kenyatta opposition leader rail doing due procedural irregularities official results said kenyatta million votes doing said vote rigged doing refused participate thursday rerun said election officials carried sufficient reforms judges criticized election board rushing announce official results based numbers sent polling stations without tally forms polling stations showing results the paper forms system meant help prevent rigging the board week announce official results this time polling stations transmit scanned images tally forms polling stations numerical results andrew limo spokesman election commission said tuesday the scanned images posted online the election board collage publish results constituency polling stations reported this could take several days rural constituencies poor phone networks polling stations there constituencies without doing running kenyatta firm favorite win the six candidates failed poll percent august polls one since disqualified bankruptcy doing urged supporters boycott ballot opposition leaders called protests day elections the key thing watch election turnout said marathi musica senior regional analyst international crisis group global thinktank this really referendum legitimacy kenyatta second term just percent kenya million registered voters cast ballot last poll worldnews |
HYSTERICAL: Trump Warns “Sleepy Eyes” Chuck Todd To Stop With The Fake News: “A total scam!”Trump compared the ongoing narrative to the same predictions during the election that turned out to be false. It is the same Fake News Media that said there is no path to victory for Trump that is now pushing the phony Russia story, he wrote. A total scam! The ongoing story was fueled by Trump former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn after reports that he would be willing to testify in the congressional investigation of the campaign if granted immunity. Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt, Trump said on Twitter this week.On Friday, Chuck Todd criticized Trump for fueling the Russia story on Twitter. Obviously, the Russia cloud darkens all of the time, and all of these problems right now that they re dealing with front and center are self-inflicted by one person, the President of the United States, who could not help himself with a tweet on this wiretapping nonsense, Todd said during an interview with his colleague Andrea Mitchell.Read more: Breitbart Newspolitics | 0 | hysterical trump warns sleepy eyes chuck todd to stop with the fake news a total scam trump compared ongoing narrative predictions election turned false it fake news media said path victory trump pushing phony russia story wrote a total scam the ongoing story fueled trump former national security adviser mike flynn reports would willing testify congressional investigation campaign granted immunity mike flynn ask immunity witch hunt trump said twitter friday chuck todd criticized trump fueling russia story twitter obviously russia cloud markets time problems right dealing front center one person president united states could help tweet wiretapping nonsense todd said interview colleague andrea breitbart newspolitics |

Dem Senator On Trump World: ‘They Lie As Easily As They Breathe’ (VIDEO)Donald Trump s White House is in more turmoil than ever, as it turns out that Donald Trump Jr. just provided the entire world with email evidence that he was more than willing to collude with a Russian national to try and fix an election by collecting dirt on 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.Ever since the fact that Trump Jr. met with a shady Russian lawyer came out, everyone in Trump World has been spinning madly in order to try and make all of this potentially criminal activity seem like it means nothing. More than anything, they have lied through their teeth to do so. Well, there is one person who is willing to call them out for being lying liars: Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island.Senator Whitehouse appeared on MSNBC s All In with Chris Hayes on Wednesday evening, and ripped the folks in Trump World a new one on this issue. He also said that the Trump Jr. emails take on a new legal meaning and that it means people need to stop talking to the press and start talking under oath. Of course, for pathological liars, this is a huge deal, because lying under oath is a crime.Senator Whitehouse said to host Chris Hayes: If there s been a legal violation here and this very strong indications that there has then you re dealing with things like indictments, and the House potentially beginning impeachment proceedings, and people having to start talking under oath, instead of you know, talking out on the airwaves, where they lie as easily as they breathe. BOOM! That is exactly what we need to hear. These people are covering something up, and that becomes more evident by the hour. Donald Trump himself might be protected from criminal indictments the idea of indicting a sitting president is definitely an open question but whether or not the people around him can be indicted certainly is not.Thank you, Senator Whitehouse for speaking truth to power. Keep it up, and we might just get rid of this criminal excuse for an administration yet.Watch the video below:Whitehouse: ppl may have to start talking under oath instead of in media where they "lie as easily as they breathe" https://t.co/KEAk4jYJM3 All In w/Chris Hayes (@allinwithchris) July 13, 2017Featured image via Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesNews | 0 | dem senator on trump world they lie as easily as they breathe video donald trump white house turmoil ever turns donald trump provided entire world email evidence willing collide russian national try fix election collecting dirt democratic presidential nominee hillary since fact trump met shady russian lawyer came everyone trump world spinning badly order try make potentially criminal activity seem like means nothing more anything lied teeth well one person willing call lying liars democratic senator seldom whitehouse rhode whitehouse appeared msnbc all in chris hayes wednesday evening ripped folks trump world new one issue he also said trump emails take new legal meaning means people need stop talking press start talking oath of course pathological liars huge deal lying oath whitehouse said host chris hayes if legal violation strong indications dealing things like indictments house potentially beginning impeachment proceedings people start talking oath instead know talking airwaves lie easily breathe boom that exactly need hear these people covering something becomes evident hour donald trump might protected criminal indictments idea indicating sitting president definitely open question whether people around indicted certainly senator whitehouse speaking truth power keep might get rid criminal excuse administration video whitehouse ppl may start talking oath instead media lie easily breathe https all in hayes allinwithchris july image via chip imagenes |

Trump Campaign Cops To Black Rally Goers: ‘You’re No Longer Welcome Here’ (VIDEO)Donald Trump is a flaming racist, and he has made no secret of that. After all, he has a history of calling Mexican immigrants rapists, of calling for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States, and of telling his imbecile supporters to beat up black protesters. Well, if all of that wasn t enough to convince you of the racism of the Trump campaign and of the man himself, this ought to be.Donald Trump took his hate parade of a campaign to South Carolina to Clemson University, to be precise. A professor at the historic South Carolina university, Chenjerai Kumanyika was at the rally with his friend, A.D. Carson. They listened, first, to (amazingly) gospel television preacher Mark Burris give a prayer/speech, which included the words: Father God, in the name of Jesus, we re truly thankful for the life of Donald J. Trump. We re thankful that you have created a man through the spirit of the Holy Spirit to give him the boldness to say what other people will not say, to do what other people will not do After that, Kumanyika and Carson stood listening to the events of the evening, when they were approached by police officers who told them they had to leave. There was no apparent reason for this, so Kumanyika asked why they were being tossed out. I m leaving, I m not arguing with you, he said. I just want to know why. Once they had exited the event, one cop was kind enough to tell the men why they had been thrown out. The Trump campaign or the Trump people said that you are no longer welcome. Yes, you read that right. The campaign simply said that they were not welcome there. No explanation for that, as they were not protesting or causing a ruckus. Just standing there. The professor said of the incident: I stood peacefully observing Trump s speech. I remained quiet and calm the entire time I was there and never spoke to anyone other than A.D. Eventually, several police officers dressed in military gear grabbed my arm and told me to leave the venue immediately. Again, no protests, just observing like everyone else there. The difference? They re black. That s the only conceivable reason.Luckily, the entire exchange was caught on camera and posted to social media.

Hungary's Jobbik supports EU deepening with voters' blessingBUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary s main opposition Jobbik party could support deeper European integration, its chairman said on Friday, in a shift apparently aimed at bringing the far-right group closer to the political mainstream. Jobbik, which used to burn EU flags and was widely accused of racism and anti-Semitism, has tried over the past few years to convince voters it has become a more moderate conservative party that supports democratic institutions and civil rights. Chairman Gabor Vona told foreign journalists Jobbik does not want a two-speed EU, in which some member states would enjoy a lesser level of cooperation than others. Instead, it favored waiting until Europe s integration plans became clearer and then holding referendums across the EU to see which countries want to stay in. He also said Jobbik would be willing to join the euro zone as fast as economically sensible, which he called an economic issue, rather than a political one. Jobbik is a distant second behind the ruling Fidesz party in opinion polls ahead of elections due in April 2018, but it says poll results might be misleading with many voters hiding their preferences. Its policy proposals have often been echoed by Fidesz, which is also a right-wing party with strong anti-immigration views, but which has been seen as closer to the European conservative mainstream than more explicitly nationalist Jobbik. Vona said Europe was likely to transform in the next few years. Countries should wait for the bloc s trajectory to become clearer, and then all EU states should hold referendums on whether to remain members. A referendum about membership would be legitimate but not now, he said. What would we vote about? The Juncker plan? The Merkel plan? The Macron plan? We have no idea what the EU means at this moment. We should clarify this together first. Once we have that we should ask everywhere, not only in Hungary, whether people want whatever Brussels leaders cooked up or not. Hungarians have warmed considerably to the EU in recent months. According to Eurobarometer, 56 percent of them now say EU membership is a good thing , up 8 percentage points since March.

Republican Kasich: Presidential contests will lead to brokered conventionWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican candidate John Kasich said on Friday he does not think any Republican presidential contender will win enough state delegates to secure the nomination before the party’s convention in July. “As crazy as this year is, can you think of anything cooler than a convention where we’re going to learn about how America works?” Kasich said, referring to the complex rules that would come into play in a brokered convention. The decision about which candidate to nominate has to be made out in the open, Kasich said.

Philippines' Duterte says no peace talks without communists' ceasefireMANILA (Reuters) - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday ruled out a resumption of stalled peace talks with communist rebels if they do not stop guerrilla attacks, two days after lawmakers ousted the last leftist from his cabinet. An angry Duterte in May ordered the scrapping of formal peace talks with the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) after the military said fighters from the CPP s military wing, the New People s Army, stepped up offensives in the countryside. There will be no talks until you declare a ceasefire, period, he said in a speech in his home city of Davao. And if you say you want another war, be my guest. Duterte gave two cabinet positions to left-wing activists recommended by the CPP when he assumed power last year to show his commitment to ending nearly five decades of conflict, in which more than 40,000 people have been killed. The legislature s Commission on Appointments on Wednesday rejected the appointment of leftist Rafael Mariano as agrarian reform minister. Mariano s exit came less than a month after the same panel ousted Judy Taguiwalo, another leftist, as social welfare minister, in what some commentators say is a move by Duterte s allies to punish the CPP. But Duterte s office in both cases expressed disappointment the ministers had not been approved. In the Philippines, all ministers must be approved by the house panel, but the process can take more than a year. The president is furious about repeated attacks by the communist rebels who, he said, have killed many soldiers and police. He is also angered by what he sees as duplicity by the CPP s exiled political leaders, to whom he says he has made many concessions and has shown good faith by making the peace process a top priority for his administration. The rebels chief negotiator, Luis Jalandoni, has said the government s demand to stop guerrilla attacks is ridiculous because soldiers are attacking villages where rebels are based. worldnews | 1 | philippines duterte says peace talks without communists ceasefiremanila reuters philippine president rodrigo duterte friday ruled resumption stalled peace talks communist rebels stop guerrilla attacks two days lawmakers ousted last leftist cabinet an angry duterte may ordered scrapping formal peace talks communist party philippines cpp military said fighters cpp military wing new people army stepped offensives countryside there talks declare ceasefire period said speech home city data and say want another war guest duterte gave two cabinet positions activists recommended cpp assumed power last year show commitment ending nearly five decades conflict people killed the legislature commission appointments wednesday rejected appointment leftist rafael marino agrarian reform minister marino exit came less month panel ousted judy taguiwalo another leftist social welfare minister commentators say move duterte allies punish cpp but duterte office cases expressed disappointment ministers approved in philippines ministers must approved house panel process take year the president furious repeated attacks communist rebels said killed many soldiers police he also angered sees duplicate cpp exiled political leaders says made many concessions shown good faith making peace process top priority administration the rebels chief negotiator luis jalandoni said government demand stop guerrilla attacks ridiculous soldiers attacking villages rebels based worldnews |

Mississippi Baker Who Made Cake For Republican Governor Publicly Humiliates HimMississippi Republicans should worry about the billions of federal dollars they are about to lose but they should also worry about the Christian bakers they have pissed off.Just a few days ago, bakery owner Mitchell Moore blasted Republicans in his state for passing an anti-LGBT law that allows bigoted Christians to discriminate against employees and customers at will for any reason as long as they hide behind a so-called sincerely held religious belief to do so. The assumption that they think that they re looking out for us that s not what they are doing, Moore said during an interview about the new law, known as HB 1523. We rank number one our state government is the most dependent on federal money. We are the third most obese state. We rank at the bottom in unemployment, in education. We ve got crumbling infrastructure. None of them are being tackled. Instead, we are passing, hey-let s-discriminate bills. And now, a baker who made a cake for Governor Phil Bryant s inauguration is humiliating him and his Republican allies for making it difficult to be proud of Mississippi. Look Governor Bryant, we will make cakes for anyone! Biloxi Cake Artist Extraordinaire Jennifer Noble wrote on Facebook underneath an image of her posing with Bryant. Including backwards thinking politicians that make it hard to be proud of being a Mississippian. We never wanted this. Quit using our industry as an excuse to deny the separation of church and state. She then announced that she had removed the picture she took with Bryant and said she regrets posing for the photo now and is embarrassed she ever posted the picture on her page.Here s the full post via Facebook:So far, Noble s Facebook post has drawn nothing but positive responses and applause while Governor Bryant is still getting hammered for signing the discriminatory bill into law.And rightfully so. Bryant and his fellow Republicans should be ashamed of themselves for passing such a law and they should work to repeal it as soon as possible before Mississippi businesses decide that denying services to Republican lawmakers is their own sincerely held religious belief.

Kenyan President Kenyatta wins 98 percent of vote in repeat electionNAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya s incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta won 98 percent of the vote in a repeated election in which an opposition boycott helped lower turnout to 39 percent, the electoral commission said on Monday. The announcement touched off small protests in a few opposition strongholds but also celebrations in pro-Kenyatta areas. Veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga said the Oct. 26 election was a farce. Civil society groups also cited problems with the vote. The violence has for the most part seen protesters clash with police but some Kenyans fear it is starting to take on ethnic overtones after two deaths in clashes between rival groups at the weekend. At least 66 people have died in overall election violence. On Monday, the U.S. ambassador said Washington was profoundly concerned by the outbreaks of violence since the re-run. Kenya is east Africa s richest economy and a key security ally of the West against militant Islam. It also a key regional trade, logistics and trade hub. In his victory speech, Kenyatta repeated his belief that his victory in the original Aug. 8 election was legitimate and said dialogue would have to wait if the opposition was going to lodge court cases again. The Supreme Court nullified the Aug. 8 vote on procedural grounds. My victory today is just part of a process that is likely to once again be subjected to a constitutional test through our courts ... I will submit to this constitutional path regardless of the outcome, Kenyatta said. Those who are going to ask me: Are you going to engage in dialogue? ... Let them (the opposition) first and foremost exhaust all their constitutional options. Kenyatta took 98 percent of the vote, results from 266 out of 291 constituencies showed. The electoral commission said 7,616,217 valid votes were cast, representing 39 percent of the 19.6 million registered voters. Protests by Odinga s supporters prevented polling stations from opening in 25 constituencies. The election commission said poor security prevented voting in those areas but the final announcement could go ahead as it would not materially affect the result. In the pro-Kenyatta area of Dagoretti North in Nairobi, cars honked and crowds of supporters in red T-shirts ran through the streets. I m so happy the president has got his seat back, said Peterson Njau. Now the economy is going to lift up again. Another resident, Kennedy Okeyo, said he cared more about football than politics but that ethnic clashes in his home this weekend had unnerved him. You can t get to work, and even if you get to work, you can get attacked because of who you are, he said. But just down the road in Nairobi s Kawangware slum, around 100 youths listening to the results on mobile phones chanted No Raila No Peace . They lit a bonfire in the middle of the street and began taunting riot police with cries of the people want teargas . Earlier, police dispersed protesters there with teargas when they tried to block a visit by Interior Minister Fred Matiang i. Another Nairobi shanty town, Mathare, the scene of deadly clashes between police and protesters immediately after the August vote, was largely calm although a handful of protesters lit a small fire. And in the western city of Kisumu, Odinga s political heartland, around 50 youths began to block the road at the Kondele roundabout, the epicenter of protests, while others banged metal poles together. But the protest was small. What can I do? They ve already announced it. Even if I burn tires, nothing will change, said 25-year-old laborer Kennedy Omondi as he watched young men set a barricade alight. Odinga pulled out of last week s vote, saying the electoral commission had failed to institute reforms to forestall the kind of illegalities and irregularities that scuppered Kenyatta s victory in the August election. Kura Yangu Sauti Yangu, a coalition of civil society organizations with 2,000 election observers, said there were multiple cases where results from polling stations differed from results on the forms posted on the election portal after last week s vote. In a report, they supplied a photo taken by their observers of the tally sheet for Bashaal market center in Garissa. It showed 133 votes for Kenyatta while the form displayed online showed 433 votes. Another form posted on the election website, from Tumbeni primary school in Kakamega, showed four votes for Odinga and two for another minor candidate but recorded the total number of votes cast was 77 votes cast. worldnews | 1 | kenya president kenyatta wins percent vote repeat electionnairobi reuters kenya incumbent president hurt kenyatta percent vote repeated election opposition boycott helped lower turnout percent electoral commission said monday the announcement touched small protests opposition strongholds also celebrations areas veteran opposition leader rail doing said election farce civil society groups also cited problems vote the violence part seen protesters clash police kenya fear starting take ethnic overtones two deaths clashes rival groups weekend at least people died overall election violence on monday ambassador said washington profoundly concerned outbreaks violence since kenya east africa richest economy key security ally west militant islam it also key regional trade logistics trade hub in victory speech kenyatta repeated belief victory original election legitimate said dialogue would wait opposition going lodge court cases the supreme court nullified vote procedural grounds my victory today part process likely subjected constitutional test courts i submit constitutional path regardless outcome kenyatta said those going ask are going engage dialogue let opposition first foremost exhaust constitutional options kenyatta took percent vote results constituencies showed the electoral commission said valid votes cast representing percent million registered voters protests doing supporters prevented polling stations opening constituencies the election commission said poor security prevented voting areas final announcement could go ahead would materially affect result in area dagoretti north nairobi cars hooked crowds supporters red ran streets i happy president got seat back said peterson nau now economy going lift another resident kennedy key said cared football politics ethnic clashes home weekend unneeded you get work even get work get attacked said but road nairobi kawangware slum around youths listening results mobile phones chanted no rail no peace they lit bonfire middle street began taunting riot police cries people want tears earlier police dispersed protesters tears tried block visit interior minister fred mating another nairobi shaft town mature scene deadly clashes police protesters immediately august vote largely calm although handful protesters lit small fire and western city kisumu doing political heartland around youths began block road kondele roundabout epicenter protests others banned metal poles together but protest small what i they already announced even i burn tires nothing change said laborer kennedy monde watched young men set barricade alight doing pulled last week vote saying electoral commission failed institute reforms forestall kind illegalities irregularities scuppered kenyatta victory august election kur yang saudi yang coalition civil society organizations election observers said multiple cases results polling stations differed results forms posted election portal last week vote in report supplied photo taken observers tally sheet basal market center gaisha it showed votes kenyatta form displayed online showed votes another form posted election website tumbeni primary school kakamega showed four votes doing two another minor candidate recorded total number votes cast votes cast worldnews |
Xi propaganda kicks into overdrive ahead of China Communist Party congressBEIJING (Reuters) - Inside the packed exhibition hall in central Beijing is a showcase of China s recent achievements: the country s first operational aircraft carrier; a gleaming fleet of high-speed trains; happy villagers lifted from poverty. While the display officially celebrates the accomplishments of the Chinese people over the past five years, it is made clear that President Xi Jinping is the man to thank. To enter the exhibition, staged by the Communist Party s propaganda department, visitors pass through a circular antechamber with red walls emblazoned with slogans inspired by Xi s concepts on governance. Hundreds of images of Xi adorn the walls in each of the exhibition s ten halls: in combat fatigues surveying the troops, holding court with foreign dignitaries, even showing his softer side by petting a baby elephant. By contrast, photographs of other party leaders are much smaller and displayed in less prominent spots. Even a dinner receipt for 160 yuan ($24.25) bearing Xi s name is on display, reflecting his frugality. Alongside radio shows and documentaries lauding Xi s achievements on state television, the exhibition is part of a propaganda push to bolster the stature of China s leader ahead of a key Communist Party Congress on Oct 18. At the conclave, which takes place every five years, Xi is expected to further cement his status as the country s most powerful leader since Mao Zedong. Although it is typical for the party to sell its key achievements ahead of major events, the propaganda effort is the most effusive for a Chinese leader in years. Xi is being lionized as the one responsible for China s recent successes, including an unswerving anti-corruption campaign, a buoyant economy and growing stature on the world stage. The effort appears designed to justify Xi s expanded powers, said Willy Lam, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. In recent years, Xi has stamped his personal leadership on reforms to the military, economy and cyberspace. The Communist Party is trying to show that only a strongman can marshal the forces and pull off these near-miraculous achievements which he is supposed to have achieved in the past five years, Lam said. The State Council Information Office, which also acts as the party spokesman s office, did not respond to request for comment. Chinese leaders do not make explicit appeals to the public for support, as, in theory, the Party confers the power of the people onto the leadership. In reality, the images of top leaders are carefully cultivated by the Party s propaganda arm. An avuncular image of Xi during his early years in office, which led to a folksy nickname - Xi Dada , or Uncle Xi - and syrupy songs about his looks, was stamped out in early 2016 to avoid creating a cult of personality. Kitschy souvenirs, like mugs and plates with images of Xi and his wife, the famous singer Peng Liyuan, have become harder to find. Censorship of images that mock Xi, including an internet meme that plays on his supposed likeness to Winnie the Pooh, the cartoon character, has also tightened in recent months. Still, personal touches have not completely disappeared from Xi s carefully crafted public image. On Sept 1, the 30-year anniversary of Xi and Peng s marriage, a WeChat account posted an article of old photos and personal details about the couple. A source with direct knowledge of the matter said the account was run by an official reporter who travels with Peng whenever she accompanies Xi overseas and is designed to share select details of the first couple s life together. For the most part, the latest wave of propaganda casts Xi as all business, focusing on his dedication, his aptitude and his personal role in guiding China into a new stage of development. One documentary on state television applauded Xi s prowess on the global stage. Foreign Minister Wang Yi published an essay in an official newspaper saying his contributions to diplomacy had transcended 300 years of western theory on foreign affairs. A popular section of the Beijing exhibition is devoted to Xi s pledge to transform China s military into a world-class fighting force, including a display of model missile launchers, battleships and the Liaoning aircraft carrier, all under a giant red flag. It s inspiring, said one visitor, a retired automation engineer who only wanted to be identified by his surname, Ma. The speed of China s development has been very quick, and the ordinary people have benefited. A book on Xi, a 452-page collection of interviews of his years in rural Shaanxi province during the Cultural Revolution, has also been heavily promoted in recent months. Some of the anecdotes are reminiscent of Party mythology about heroes who selflessly work for others - such as Lei Feng, an idealized soldier of the Mao Zedong era who was upheld as a model citizen after his death. In the book, villagers who knew him say Xi showed signs of greatness even then, describing in one anecdote how he led villagers to dig a well so they had access to drinking water. It was icy cold to the bone but Jinping was down the well, his legs deep in the mud, one villager, Liang Yuming, said. He d work for a long time, until he really couldn t take it any more. worldnews | 1 | xi propaganda kicks overdrive ahead china communist party congressbeijing reuters inside packed exhibition hall central beijing showcase china recent achievements country first operational aircraft carrier leading fleet trains happy villagers lifted poverty while display officially celebrates accomplishments chinese people past five years made clear president xi winning man thank to enter exhibition staged communist party propaganda department visitors pass circular antechamber red walls emblazoned slogans inspired xi concepts governance hundreds images xi adorn walls exhibition ten halls combat fatigue surveying troops holding court foreign dignitaries even showing softer side getting baby elephant by contrast photographs party leaders much smaller displayed less prominent spots even dinner receipt yuan bearing xi name display reflecting brutality alongside radio shows documentaries landing xi achievements state television exhibition part propaganda push bolster stature china leader ahead key communist party congress oct at conclave takes place every five years xi expected cement status country powerful leader since mao belong although typical party sell key achievements ahead major events propaganda effort elusive chinese leader years xi ionized one responsible china recent successes including answering campaign buoyant economy growing stature world stage the effort appears designed justify xi expanded powers said willy lam professor chinese university hong kong in recent years xi stamped personal leadership reforms military economy cyberspace the communist party trying show strongman marshal forces pull achievements supposed achieved past five years lam said the state council information office also acts party spokesman office respond request comment chinese leaders make explicit appeals public support theory party confers power people onto leadership in reality images top leaders carefully cultivated party propaganda arm an avuncular image xi early years office led folks nickname xi data uncle xi syrup songs looks stamped early avoid creating cult personality kitschy souvenirs like bugs plates images xi wife famous singer peng yuan become harder find censorship images mock xi including internet meme plays supposed likeness winner poor cartoon character also tightened recent months still personal touches completely disappeared xi carefully crafted public image on sept anniversary xi peng marriage what account posted article old photos personal details couple a source direct knowledge matter said account run official reporter travels peng whenever accompanies xi overseas designed share select details first couple life together for part latest wave propaganda casts xi business focusing dedication aptitude personal role guiding china new stage development one documentary state television applauded xi prowess global stage foreign minister wang yi published essay official newspaper saying contributions diplomacy transcluded years western theory foreign affairs a popular section beijing exhibition devoted xi pledge transform china military fighting force including display model missile launchers battleships learning aircraft carrier giant red flag it inspiring said one visitor retired automation engineer wanted identified surname ma the speed china development quick ordinary people benefited a book xi collection interviews years rural shaanxi province cultural revolution also heavily promoted recent months some anecdotes reminiscent party mythology heroes seamlessly work others lei feng idealized soldier mao belong era upheld model citizen death in book villagers knew say xi showed signs greatness even describing one anecdote led villagers dig well access drinking water it icy cold bone winning well legs deep mud one villager liang using said he work long time really take worldnews |
HILARIOUS!

Tonight, 9pm ET. MSNBC.(Seriously). Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) March 14, 2017Speaking on background, a White House official said, You know you are desperate for ratings when you are willing to violate the law to push a story about two pages of tax returns from over a decade ago. Before being elected President, Mr. Trump was one of the most successful businessmen in the world with a responsibility to his company, his family and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required, the official continued. That being said, Mr. Trump paid $38 million dollars even after taking into account large scale depreciation for construction, on an income of more than $150 million dollars, as well as paying tens of millions of dollars in other taxes such as sales and excise taxes and employment taxes and this illegally published return proves just that. Despite this substantial income figure and tax paid, it is totally illegal to steal and publish tax returns. The dishonest media can continue to make this part of their agenda, while the President will focus on his, which includes tax reform that will benefit all Americans.

‘Obama Mic Drop’ Is The State Of The Union Music Video You Have To SeeA new parody video from the Gregory Brothers shows a rendition of the 2016 State of the Union we all wish could be real. In autotune, President Obama sings about his accomplishments in Obama Mic Drop. https://www.facebook.com/gregorybrothers/videos/vb.46060559283/10153884847629284/?type=2&theaterIn the song, President Obama notes that we ve had the strongest job growth since 1999, as Joe Biden and even Speaker Paul Ryan are forced to get out of their chairs and join along with the President s dance crew.The video then cuts to the audience and we see some Congressional figures not often known for their support of the President also get into the head-bobbing action, including Senator Lindsey Graham fresh off of dropping out of the 2016 presidential race and Senator Marco Rubio.Democratic Minority Leader and Senator John Kerry also get into the act as well, and everyone eventually gets on their feet for a standing ovation for the President s last hurrah.As the Gregory Brothers Facebook page notes, A lot of emotion from President Obama for his final SOTU. Really can t believe he brought a dance team. So far the video has been viewed over 3 million times on YouTube and Facebook and the song is now being sold on iTunes as a single.The Gregory Brothers are Michael Gregory (drums and vocals), Andrew Rose Gregory (guitar and vocals), Evan Gregory (keys and vocals), and Sarah Fullen Gregory (bass and vocals). The group is probably best known for their series of videos parodying current events called Auto-Tune the News. Their most well-known video was the music video Bed Intruder featuring Antoine Dodson, in which an interview he did with a local news station was auto-tuned and set to music (the chorus was Hide your kids, hide your wife ). It was the most popular YouTube video of 2010 and currently has over 130 million views. The single based on that video sold over 1 million copies and was certified platinum by the RIAA.Featured image via screen captureNews | 0 | obama mic drop is the state of the union music video you have to see new parody video gregory brothers shows rendition state union wish could real in autotune president obama sings accomplishments obama mic drop https theater song president obama notes strongest job growth since joe biden even speaker paul ryan forced get chairs join along president dance video cuts audience see congressional figures often known support president also get action including senator lindsay graham fresh dropping presidential race senator marco minority leader senator john kerry also get act well everyone eventually gets feet standing ovation president last gregory brothers facebook page notes a lot emotion president obama final situ really believe brought dance team so far video viewed million times youtube facebook song sold itunes gregory brothers michael gregory drums vocals andrew rose gregory guitar vocals evan gregory keys vocals sarah fallen gregory bass vocals the group probably best known series videos partying current events called news their video music video bed intruder featuring antoine doesn interview local news station set music chorus hide kids hide wife it popular youtube video currently million views the single based video sold million copies certified platinum image via screen capturenews |
THIRD GRADE BOYS COMPLAIN About 9 Year Old Girl Using Boys’ Bathroom…Boys Told To Stand Closer To UrinalsGirls aren t the only gender who will suffer embarrassment, humiliation and even the prospect of sexual predators in their bathrooms and locker rooms. Shame on American parents for not making more of a fuss about this horrendous decree by a dictator with only seven months left in his final term A Southwest Elementary School parent said he s keeping his three sons out of school until the Howell, MI Public Schools Board of Education explains why a girl is using the boys bathroom.Matt Stewart said his 9-year-old son informed him Friday that there was a girl in the bathroom and the girl was told to look at the wall while boys were told to stand closer to the urinals. He said his son indicated the information came from a school staff member. I have three children in Southwest Elementary School and they are being humiliated and intimidated, Stewart said Wednesday. Our kids are absent from school until there s a policy in place that keeps them from being humiliated or intimidated. The bottom line: A 9-year-old girl is in the boys bathroom with my son, the father said, adding there is no precaution to keep the girl from walking out of a stall and seeing a male classmate urinating.Messages to Southwest Principal Jennifer Goodwin and district Superintendent Erin MacGregor as well as public information officer Tom Gould were not returned late Wednesday.School board President Michael Yenshaw said the matter is not one that has reached the board at this time, and Vice President Stacy Pasini said she preferred to have no comment. It does not pertain to an immediate threat to the public safety of the district, Yenshaw s written reply stated. It may also involve FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) issues, which limit the content of information that the district is permitted to release.FERPA is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.Stewart said he spoke with the school principal and MacGregor, both of who would not confirm if the third-grade female student is transgender due to privacy issues.Stewart sought an approved policy through the Freedom Of Information Act, but was told there is no districtwide policy in place on the issue of transgender bathroom use. He said MacGregor took ownership for the final decision on this matter allowing students to use the bathroom of their choosing. This was (decided) quietly, behind closed doors, Stewart said.The issue of transgender usage of bathrooms exploded nationally after the passage of House Bill 2 in North Carolina, which became law March 23. It bans transgender people from using bathrooms that don t match the gender on their birth certificate.Via: Livingston Dailypolitics | 0 | third grade boys complain about year old girl using boys told to stand closer to urinalsgirls gender suffer embarrassment humiliation even prospect sexual predators bathrooms locker rooms shame american parents making fuss horrendous decree dictator seven months left final term a southwest elementary school parent said keeping three sons school powell mi public schools board education explains girl using boys stewart said son informed friday girl bathroom girl told look wall boys told stand closer finals he said son indicated information came school staff member i three children southwest elementary school humiliated intimidated stewart said wednesday our kids absent school policy place keeps humiliated intimidated the bottom line a girl boys bathroom son father said adding precaution keep girl walking stall seeing male classmate southwest principal jennifer goodwill district superintendent erin macgregor well public information officer tom gould returned late board president michael yenshaw said matter one reached board time vice president stay passing said preferred comment it pertain immediate threat public safety district yenshaw written reply stated it may also involve era family educational rights privacy act issues limit content information district permitted federal law protects privacy student education said spoke school principal macgregor would confirm female student transgender due privacy sought approved policy freedom of information act told districtwide policy place issue transgender bathroom use he said macgregor took ownership final decision matter allowing students use bathroom choosing this decided quietly behind closed doors stewart issue transgender usage bathrooms exploded nationally passage house bill north carolina became law march it bans transgender people using bathrooms match gender birth livingston dailypolitics |
DISTURBING: Tomi Lahren Panders To “The View” Hags, Says She’s Always Been “Pro-Choice”…OOPS!…Video Emerges Of Lahren Calling Pro-Choicer’s “Straight Up Baby Killers” Only 3 Months AgoFORMER CONSERVATIVE darling Tomi Lahren made a big deal about her upcoming appearance on The View. I know, because I set the alarm on my phone to remind me when she would be on their show so I wouldn t miss it. I figured there would certainly be fireworks, and at the very least, a few memorable moments with the marxist loudmouth hosts of The View. I thought if nothing else, it would be entertaining to see her put Joy Behar in her place. People have come to know and love The Blaze s conservative firebrand Tomi Lahren for her outspoken commentary on current political and social issues. Until now, most of us have believed that she actually meant what she was telling us. When she finally appeared on The View last Friday, she was mostly dealt softball questions and her answers were clearly more about getting along with the angry hosts than the defense of conservatism. That s okay I could live with that. As disappointed as I was in her wimpy responses to their ridiculous questions, nothing could have prepared me for the moment she decided to step out of her conservative persona and cross-over to the dark side, when host Sonny Hostin asked her about her position on abortion.Lahren: No, I m pro-choice, and here s why. I am a constitutional, you know, someone that loves the constitution. I am someone who is for limited government. So I can t sit here, and be a hypocrite and say I m for limited government, but I think that the government should I think that the government should decide what a woman can do with their bodies. I can t sit here and say that as a Republican. And I can say, ya know what, I m for limited government, so stay out of my guns and you can stay out of my body as well. Joy Behar jumped in (panting with excitement): You need to go out and speak to women about that. Lahren responded: I do. I do every day. And I get a lot of attacks from conservative women as well. I think it s equal hate from all sides for me. Really Tomi? You argue with women every day about your position on abortion? Maybe you can explain how only 3 months ago, you called people like Lena Dunham who were pro choice straight up baby killers! (Watch 2nd video below)Here is a short clip showing the abortion exchange: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOT3EiKCL-w&feature=youtu.beHere s Lahren calling anyone who is pro-choice a straight up baby killer . Note the Christmas tree in the background. That s because this video is only 3 months old. Wow apparently a lot happens in 3 months! Does she realize how damaging she is to her own narrative? Think about it: the pro-choicers are supposed to be about rare and safe abortions. That s how they avoid sounding like straight-up baby killers.Then we have Lena freakin Dunham out there wishing she could have murdered a fetus. Wishing for the option to kill your child doesn t exactly say much about the cause, her character, or the pro-choice movement.And here I thought the loving Left were all about peace, and love, and light, except when it comes to the unborn, I suppose.

WATCH: REMEMBER WHEN HILLARY SAID She Wasn’t Dropping Out Of 2008 Primary Race…Hinted Obama Might Be Assassinated Before Election [VIDEO]That Hillary, she sure is a forked-tongued silver-tongued devil. Funny how the media conveniently forgot about the time Hillary hinted she was going to stay in the race despite the effect it may have on Obama s chance of defeating McCain because after all, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June right before the election.Because suggesting an opponent in your party may be assassinated before the general is apparently okay if you re a Democrat. This week s controversy over comments by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and the assassination of his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton by second amendment people echoes a flap during the 2008 primary when she mentioned the possibility of someone killing Barack Obama.For those who don t remember the events of eight years ago, the Illinois senator had all but locked down his historic nomination, but former first lady was holding on until June, refusing to concede.

Desperate for news, Rohingya refugees tune in to 'WhatsApp radio'COX S BAZAR, Bangladesh (Reuters) - Sat in his hillside grocery shop in a Bangladesh refugee camp, Rohingya Muslim Momtaz-ul-Hoque takes a break to listen to an audio recording on his mobile phone, while children and passers-by gather round to hear the latest news from Myanmar. I listen because I get some information on my motherland, said Hoque, 30, as he plays a message on WhatsApp explaining the Myanmar government s proposals for repatriating refugees. Hoque has been in Bangladesh since an earlier bout of violence in Myanmar s Rakhine state in 1992, but the number of refugees in the camps has swelled dramatically to more than 800,000 in recent weeks, after a massive Myanmar military operation sent around 600,000 people fleeing across the border. Tens of thousands of exhausted refugees have arrived with little more than a sack of rice, a few pots and pans and a mobile phone powered by a cheap solar battery, and many are desperate for news of what is going on back home. With few news sources in their own language and low levels of literacy, audio and video messages distributed on apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook and YouTube have become a community radio of sorts for the Muslim minority. Dozens of WhatsApp groups have sprung up to fill the information gap. Their offerings range from grainy footage of violence, to listings of the names and numbers of people missing in the chaos of the exodus, or even an explainer from educated Rohingya on how to adjust to life in the camps. At a shop selling cold drinks in the Leda refugee camp, two men played WhatsApp news through a loudspeaker. Out of breath, a man narrated a scene purportedly from a village in Myanmar s Buthidaung region, according to Mohammed Zubair, a refugee who translated the broadcasts for Reuters. They are surrounding the village. We are under attack from the military and the mogs...some people are seriously injured, Zubair translates the speaker as saying, using a derogatory term common in Bangladesh to refer to ethnic Rakhine Buddhists. I trust it 100 percent, Zubair said of the information. Reuters was not able to verify the account. The WhatsApp groups tend to have hundreds of members, meaning that the spread of information depends on people passing on the news. Many of the listeners do not know who is sending the message or the trustworthiness of the broadcaster. Some said outdated or inaccurate reports were common. In some cases, we got audio messages of villages burning in Myanmar, and when we contact people in those villages, there s nothing, said one refugee inside a tea shop in Bangladesh sKutupalong camp. Other refugees said videos of violence claimed to have been filmed in villages in Myanmar turned out to be footage from other countries. Many also worry that the unregulated nature of WhatsApp groups increases opportunities for voices keen to push an agenda rather than share facts. Rohingya rebel group the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) - whose Aug. 25 attacks on security forces triggered the latest crisis - and its followers have been among the most active adopters of WhatsApp to spread their message. Audio messages urging support, updates on the latest military movements and official press releases dominate some groups. Several refugees in Bangladesh said they had no idea if the messages, often posted by people with phone numbers registered in the Middle East or other parts of Asia, were actually from ARSA members. Refugees also worry that Bangladeshi security forces want to monitor the broadcasts, and are looking in the camps for ARSA supporters. At the tea shop in Kutupalong camp, refugees have stopped listening to the broadcasts on loudspeakers during daylight hours, preferring to gather clandestinely at night instead. Still, many Rohingyas say social media platforms play a crucial role in keeping spirits up among the community. The Rohingya people are not organized, said Hoque, the grocer. They cannot take out their frustration any other way, so this is a way of protesting. worldnews | 1 | desperate news rohingya refugees tune s bazaar bangladesh reuters sat hillside grocery shop bangladesh refugee camp rohingya muslim takes break listen audio recording mobile phone children gather round hear latest news myanmar i listen i get information motherland said poque plays message whatsapp explaining myanmar government proposals repatriation refugees poque bangladesh since earlier bout violence myanmar machine state number refugees camps swelled dramatically recent weeks massive myanmar military operation sent around people fleeing across border tens thousands exhausted refugees arrived little sack rice pots pans mobile phone powered cheap solar battery many desperate news going back home with news sources language low levels literacy audio video messages distributed apps whatsapp facebook youtube become community radio sorts muslim minority dozens whatsapp groups sprung fill information gap their offerings range grain footage violence listings names numbers people missing chaos exodus even explained educated rohingya adjust life camps at shop selling cold drinks lead refugee camp two men played whatsapp news loudspeaker out breath man narrated scene purportedly village myanmar buthidaung region according mohammed dubai refugee translated broadcasts reuters they surrounding village we attack military logs people seriously injured dubai translates speaker saying using derogatory term common bangladesh refer ethnic machine buddhist i trust percent dubai said information reuters able verify account the whatsapp groups tend hundreds members meaning spread information depends people passing news many listeners know sending message trustworthiness broadcaster some said outdated inaccurate reports common in cases got audio messages villages burning myanmar contact people villages nothing said one refugee inside tea shop bangladesh skutupalong camp other refugees said videos violence claimed filmed villages myanmar turned footage countries many also worry unregulated nature whatsapp groups increases opportunities voices keen push agenda rather share facts rohingya rebel group artman rohingya salvation army area whose attacks security forces triggered latest crisis followers among active adapters whatsapp spread message audio messages urging support updates latest military movements official press releases dominate groups several refugees bangladesh said idea messages often posted people phone numbers registered middle east parts asia actually area members refugees also worry bangladesh security forces want monitor broadcasts looking camps area supporters at tea shop kutupalong camp refugees stopped listening broadcasts loudspeakers daylight hours preferring gather clandestine night instead still many rohingyas say social media platforms play crucial role keeping spirits among community the rohingya people organized said poque grocer they take frustration way way protesting worldnews |
UK Diplomat Says He’s Met With DNC Leaker…They’re NOT Russian…They’re An Insider [VIDEO]Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has clearly stated his leaks did not come from Russia. Watch:Former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray, who is a close associate of Julian Assange, said he has met the DNC leaker and he s not Russian. h/t GPI have watched incredulous as the CIA s blatant lie has grown and grown as a media story blatant because the CIA has made no attempt whatsoever to substantiate it. There is no Russian involvement in the leaks of emails showing Clinton s corruption. Yes this rubbish has been the lead today in the Washington Post in the US and the Guardian here, and was the lead item on the BBC main news. I suspect it is leading the American broadcasts also.A little simple logic demolishes the CIA s claims. The CIA claim they know the individuals involved. Yet under Obama the USA has been absolutely ruthless in its persecution of whistleblowers, and its pursuit of foreign hackers through extradition. We are supposed to believe that in the most vital instance imaginable, an attempt by a foreign power to destabilize a US election, even though the CIA knows who the individuals are, nobody is going to be arrested or extradited, or (if in Russia) made subject to yet more banking and other restrictions against Russian individuals? Plainly it stinks. The anonymous source claims of We know who it was, it was the Russians are beneath contempt.As Julian Assange has made crystal clear, the leaks did not come from the Russians. As I have explained countless times, they are not hacks, they are insider leaks there is a major difference between the two. And it should be said again and again, that if Hillary Clinton had not connived with the DNC to fix the primary schedule to disadvantage Bernie, if she had not received advance notice of live debate questions to use against Bernie, if she had not accepted massive donations to the Clinton foundation and family members in return for foreign policy influence, if she had not failed to distance herself from some very weird and troubling people, then none of this would have happened.It is terrible that the prime conduit for this paranoid nonsense is a once great newspaper, the Washington Post, which far from investigating executive power, now is a sounding board for totally evidence free anonymous source briefing of utter bullshit from the executive.In the UK, one single article sums up the total abnegation of all journalistic standards. The truly execrable Jonathan Freedland of the Guardian writes Few credible sources doubt that Russia was behind the hacking of internal Democratic party emails, whose release by Julian Assange was timed to cause maximum pain to Hillary Clinton and pleasure for Trump. Does he produce any evidence at all for this assertion? No, none whatsoever. What does a journalist mean by a credible source ? Well, any journalist worth their salt in considering the credibility of a source will first consider access. Do they credibly have access to the information they claim to have?Now both Julian Assange and I have stated definitively the leak does not come from Russia. Do we credibly have access? Yes, very obviously. Very, very few people can be said to definitely have access to the source of the leak. The people saying it is not Russia are those who do have access. After access, you consider truthfulness. Do Julian Assange and I have a reputation for truthfulness? Well in 10 years not one of the tens of thousands of documents WikiLeaks has released has had its authenticity successfully challenged. As for me, I have a reputation for inconvenient truth telling.Contrast this to the credible sources Freedland relies on. What access do they have to the whistleblower? Zero. They have not the faintest idea who the whistleblower is. Otherwise they would have arrested them. What reputation do they have for truthfulness? It s the Clinton gang and the US government, for goodness sake.The worst thing about all this is that it is aimed at promoting further conflict with Russia. This puts everyone in danger for the sake of more profits for the arms and security industries including of course bigger budgets for the CIA. As thankfully the four year agony of Aleppo comes swiftly to a close today, the Saudi and US armed and trained ISIS forces counter by moving to retake Palmyra. This game kills people, on a massive scale, and goes on and on.

As a 27 year-old, works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington.Reporter: That was just a robbery, I believe. Wasn t it?Julian Assange: No. There s no finding. So I m suggesting that our sources take risks.Perhaps Obama should stop blaming the Russians and start asking the FBI and CIA to take a closer look at the unsolved murder of Seth Rich. But if the answer lies within the Democrat Party, that s probably not gonna happen.

House ethics panel probing Rep. Farenthold over harassment allegationsWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee said on Thursday it was investigating Republican Representative Blake Farenthold over allegations of sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation involving a former female staff member. The panel said in a statement it was also looking into whether the Corpus Christi, Texas, congressman made inappropriate statements to other members of his official staff. Farenthold, 55, said in a statement he was relieved that the ethics panel was going to look into the allegations. “Once all the facts are released, I’m confident this matter will once and for all be settled and resolved,” he said. Politico reported last week that the U.S. Congress’ Office of Compliance had paid $84,000 from a public fund on behalf of Farenthold for a sexual harassment claim. In 2014, Farenthold’s former communications director Lauren Greene sued him, alleging a hostile work environment, gender discrimination and retaliation, court documents showed. Farenthold and Greene reached a mediated agreement in 2015 to avoid costly litigation, but the settlement’s details were confidential, according to a statement released at the time, where Farenthold denied engaging in any wrongdoing. Farenthold told KRIS-TV in Corpus Christi on Monday that he would return the sum. Capitol Hill has been rocked in recent weeks by allegations of sexual misconduct by lawmakers, and outrage that public money may have been paid to settle harassment suits against members of Congress. Three lawmakers said this week they would resign amid sexual harassment allegations: Democratic Senator Al Franken, Democratic Representative John Conyers and Republican Representative Trent Franks. politicsNews | 1 | house ethics panel probing parenthood harassment allegationswashington reuters the house representatives ethics committee said thursday investigating republican representative blake parenthood allegations sexual harassment discrimination retaliation involving former female staff member the panel said statement also looking whether corpus christ texas congressman made inappropriate statements members official staff parenthood said statement relieved ethics panel going look allegations once facts released i confident matter settled resolved said politico reported last week congress office compliance paid public fund behalf parenthood sexual harassment claim in parenthood former communications director lauren greene sued alleging hostile work environment gender discrimination retaliation court documents showed parenthood greene reached mediated agreement avoid costly litigation settlement details confidential according statement released time parenthood denied engaging wrongdoing parenthood told corpus christ monday would return sum capitol hill rocked recent weeks allegations sexual misconduct lawmakers outrage public money may paid settle harassment suits members congress three lawmakers said week would resign amid sexual harassment allegations democratic senator al ranked democratic representative john confers republican representative trent ranks politicsnews |

DOJ Lawyers LITERALLY Argued That Trump Is Above The Law And Untouchable By Any Court (AUDIO)You know how white supremacists have been calling Trump their God-Emperor? Apparently, that has gone to The Donald s head, as his DOJ lawyers actually argued that he is completely untouchable by any court and his decisions are absolute.On Tuesday, August Flentje, Special Counsel to the Assistant U.S. Attorney General, was asked a question that should have been an automatic no Does the President have unchecked power? Are you arguing then that the president s decision in that regard is unreviewable? Judge Michelle T. Friedland asked Flentje at one point in the Trump administration s attempt to get the Muslim ban back up and running. To most, the idea of any leader having unlimited and absolute power in any area of the government is frightening, but to the Trump administration it s just the way things should be.Flentje hesitated briefly, then provided a single-word answer that reveals everything you need to know about the mindset of Trump and his team of white supremacists, Christofascists, and other Deplorables: Yes.

HUFFINGTON POST WAVES WHITE FLAG…Calls Race For Trump…”Journalists” Pack For CanadaThis is not just a win for the Alt-Right or for the Republican Party, this is a win for America. American voters are about to prove that it s possible for an outsider who loves his country so damn much, that he s willing walk away from a multi-billion dollar business and essentially trade down his glamorous NYC and Palm Beach estates, can and WILL win the most coveted prize for career politicians. For many of us, the idea of Donald J. Trump beating the odds-on favorite sociopathic liar, Hillary Clinton and her serial rapist husband, is a victory we could have never imagined only one year ago. We ve watched Donald Trump interview candidates for top jobs in his company for years on his Apprentice TV show. He knows how to pick a winner because he knows precisely what it takes to be a winner. After 8 long years of being kicked around and humiliated by Iran, Russia, Iraq, North Korea and China, American voters are ready for a leader to represent us, someone who gives us hope that America can, and will win again. Of course the idea of winning, or being the best at something is triggering liberals in the media to pack their suitcases and head for a more mediocre environment, one where the idea of Making America Great again is mocked and ridiculed. To the whiny, mediocre liberals we say, So long Lefties! We can never make America great again if half the nation believes we need to be sorry for our successes. So don t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya .And oh yeah, don t forget to come back and visit when you or a family member needs quality health care. Give us a couple of years to fix this Obamacare mess We ll be waiting If Donald Trump does sack the fortress, no one who lost the battle will want to admit it was Hillary Clinton s fault. It will have had nothing to do with, say, transparency or calling bearded villagers deplorables or the Iraq War vote or the simple fact that middle-of-the-road Clintonism ran out of gas as a public philosophy.No, other individuals, groups and forces will have to be blamed. In fact, they already are, pre-emptively. If Trump wins, we re all going to be too busy moving to Canada to read the postmortems (or write them), so we offer them to you now:1. THE MEDIA Everyone s pi ata. Trump will blame the media. Gary Johnson will blame the media. Jill Stein will blame the media. (The media will ask, Wait, which one was Jill Stein? )2. THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING Actually, they arrived long ago and got into her phone.3. MILLENNIALS Ugh. F**cking idealists, right?4. BERNIE SANDERS Remember when people worried that running unopposed in the primary would hurt Clinton? It s going to be an endless wail about how Sanders should have withdrawn sooner.5. BILL CLINTON You know how this will go down: Best campaigner of all time and he couldn t close the sale. He lost his mojo.6. SEXISTS Ugh. F**cking glass ceiling.7. OBAMA PEOPLE If they could delete all of David Axelrod s tweets, they would.8. JAMES COMEY He might as well have indicted her for real, like he did in the court of public opinion. Extremely careless.9. DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ AND THE DNC Her Soviet-style approach to boosting Clinton was something that Hillary s campaign was happy to countenance. But the former DNC chair should have left room for dissent rather than let it bottle up. Huffington PostPlease note that nowhere on this list will you find the real reason the Democrats lost.

Russia probe should focus on Trump financial ties: senatorWASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. Senate investigation into Russia’s meddling during the U.S. election should include a thorough review of any financial ties between Russia and President Donald Trump and his associates, Democratic senator Ron Wyden said Wednesday. In a formal written request made to the leaders of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, Wyden said financial relationships between Trump, a real estate developer with properties around the world, and Russia are deserving of scrutiny because of resistance by Trump and some in his orbit have not been forthcoming about their finances. “Efforts to understand these relationships and to separate fact from speculation have been hampered by the opacity of the finances of President Trump and his associates,” Wyden, who also sits on the intelligence panel, wrote to Republican Richard Burr and Democrat Mark Warner. The letter, though devoid of new details, is the latest piece of evidence suggesting Trump’s business dealings are attracting expanded interest from investigators amid a raft of new reports scrutinizing potential financial entanglements between the president and Russia. Trump has declined to release his tax returns, bucking decades of precedent for presidents and presidential candidates. The letter followed new disclosures in recent weeks of previously unknown meetings and financial arrangements between Trump’s associates and wealthy Russians, and came as Democrats attempt to focus public attention on questions about Trump’s connections to Russia. On Monday, the state development bank Vnesheconombank disclosed that its executives had met Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and a top White House adviser, in December. And last week Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, admitted he had done business work for Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska. Trump has repeatedly insisted allegations that he or members of his administration have an untoward relationship with Russia as “fake news.” He has also said that he has no business deals in Russia. A Reuters investigation published earlier this month found that dozens of members of the Russian elite have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida, according to public documents, interviews and corporate records. Wyden has repeatedly tried to push into public light more information about U.S. investigations into Russia’s role in the 2016 election. He organized a two-sentence letter from seven senators to the White House last November asking the outgoing Obama administration to declassify additional information about Russia’s interference in the election. Then-president Barack Obama announced a review of Russia’s activities soon after. U.S. intelligence agencies later released a review of its assessment of Russia’s multi-pronged influence campaign, concluding Moscow’s actions were intended to help Trump win and discredit his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton. Russia has denied the allegations. Wyden in January also asked Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey if his agency was investigating links between Russia and associates of Trump. Comey declined to answer, but last week confirmed the FBI was probing possible ties. Examining finances has long been within the purview of the oversight role of the intelligence panel, Wyden wrote, citing a recent committee report said that “financial intelligence has emerged as a significant area of (intelligence community) activity, aiming to ‘follow the money’ of adversaries.” politicsNews | 1 | russia probe focus trump financial ties senatorwashington reuters a senate investigation russia meddling election include thorough review financial ties russia president donald trump associates democratic senator ron widen said wednesday in formal written request made leaders senate intelligence committee widen said financial relationships trump real estate developer properties around world russia deserving scrutiny resistance trump orbit forthcoming finances efforts understand relationships separate fact speculation hampered opacity finances president trump associates widen also sits intelligence panel wrote republican richard burn democrat mark warner the letter though devoid new details latest piece evidence suggesting trump business dealings attracting expanded interest investigators amid raft new reports scrutinizing potential financial entanglement president russia trump declined release tax returns backing decades precedent presidents presidential candidates the letter followed new disclosures recent weeks previously unknown meetings financial arrangements trump associates wealthy russian came democrats attempt focus public attention questions trump connections russia on monday state development bank vnesheconombank disclosed executives met jared pusher trump top white house adviser december and last week paul manafort trump former campaign chairman admitted done business work russian billionaire leg deripaska trump repeatedly insisted allegations members administration toward relationship russia fake he also said business deals russia a reuters investigation published earlier month found dozens members russian elite bought least million worth property seven luxury towers southern florida according public documents interviews corporate records widen repeatedly tried push public light information investigations russia role election he organized letter seven senators white house last november asking outgoing obama administration classify additional information russia interference election barack obama announced review russia activities soon intelligence agencies later released review assessment russia influence campaign concluding moscow actions intended help trump win discredit opponent democrat hillary clinton russia denied allegations widen january also asked federal bureau investigation director james come agency investigating links russia associates trump come declined answer last week confirmed fbi probing possible ties examining finances long within purview oversight role intelligence panel widen wrote citing recent committee report said financial intelligence emerged significant area intelligence community activity aiming follow money politicsnews |

Spy agencies concerned about possible U.S. election hacks: NSA chiefWASHINGTON (Reuters) - American intelligence agencies are concerned about reports that foreign governments may be attempting to undermine the Nov. 8 U.S. elections through cyber attacks, Admiral Mike Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, said on Tuesday. “We continue to be actively concerned,” Rogers told a Senate hearing, responding to a question from Senator John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Marcel Lettre, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, testified that the government is taking any such activities “quite seriously” and said an “aggressive investigation” is under way. McCain noted that one of the two states in which media reports said there was evidence of attempted Russian hacking was his home state, Arizona. Some analysts have said Arizona, which recently has been reliably Republican in presidential elections, could be tilting more toward the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, this year. McCain, a Republican, himself is in a tougher than usual re-election fight. Rogers said he could not provide specifics about spy agencies’ current assessment of the alleged hacking in a public setting. But he added, “I will say this, that it continues to be an issue of great focus ... for the foreign intelligence community, attempting to generate insights into what foreign nations are doing in this area.” Under further questioning, Rogers declined to characterize the activity as by a foreign nation-state. Lettre said the government would adopt a policy for dealing with any such activity once it had the results of the investigation. “The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security has an aggressive investigation underway,” Lettre said. U.S. security officials have said that, starting last year, hackers infiltrated computers of the Democratic National Committee, Clinton’s presidential campaign and her party’s congressional fundraising committee. U.S. officials said they have concluded that Russia or its proxies were responsible, leading to calls by some Democrats and cyber security officials for the Obama administration to blame Russia publicly. Kremlin officials have dismissed the allegations as absurd, but there is anxiety in Washington over the possibility that a foreign power might be using hacked information to meddle in the November elections. politicsNews | 1 | spy agencies concerned possible election hacks nsa chiefwashington reuters american intelligence agencies concerned reports foreign governments may attempting undermine elections cyber attacks admiral mike rogers director national security agency said tuesday we continue actively concerned rogers told senate hearing responding question senator john mccain chairman senate armed services committee marcel letter under secretary defense intelligence testified government taking activities quite seriously said aggressive investigation way mccain noted one two states media reports said evidence attempted russian hacking home state arizona some analysts said arizona recently reliably republican presidential elections could tilting toward democratic nominee hillary clinton year mccain republican tougher usual fight rogers said could provide specifics spy agencies current assessment alleged hacking public setting but added i say continues issue great focus foreign intelligence community attempting generate insights foreign nations under questioning rogers declined characterize activity foreign letter said government would adopt policy dealing activity results investigation the fbi department homeland security aggressive investigation underway letter said security officials said starting last year hackers infiltrated computers democratic national committee clinton presidential campaign party congressional fundraising committee officials said concluded russia proxies responsible leading calls democrats cyber security officials obama administration blame russia publicly kremlin officials dismissed allegations absurd anxiety washington possibility foreign power might using hacked information middle november elections politicsnews |

Filipino bishops urge bell-ringing, prayers to protest bloody drugs warMANILA (Reuters) - Stepping up a campaign against President Rodrigo Duterte s bloody war on drugs, Catholic bishops in the Philippines have called for church bells to be rung for the next 40 nights, and congregations to light candles and pray for the killing to end. A pastoral letter by Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) sent to priests urged Catholics to pray for victims from Saturday until All Saints Day on Nov. 1, when Filipinos traditionally pay respects to the dead. More than 3,800 people have been killed in anti-drugs operations in the past 15 months and at least 2,100 murders are suspected of being drug-related, according to police data, though human rights groups believe the numbers are understated. The relentless and bloody campaign against drugs that shows no sign of abating impels us, your bishops, to declare: In the name of God, stop the killings! Archbishop Socrates Villegas, the head of the CBCP, said in the letter. Such messages are typically read aloud in church or distributed to their congregations. Many Catholic churches in the capital have already started lighting candles and ringing bells for five minutes each day at 8 p.m.. Thousands of Filipinos rallied against Duterte on Thursday to protest against what they fear is an emerging dictatorship, and several churches held mass against the killings and urged people to renounce violence. The bishops are among the most influential dissenting voices to come out against the Duterte s uncompromising strategy. Having been largely silent on the issue when it first erupted last year, priests have increasingly taken a stand against the anti-drugs campaign. As bodies started to appear nightly in Manila s slums, the church stepped up its opposition, denouncing the killings and in some cases, providing sanctuary to witnesses of killings and drug users who feared they could be targeted. Villegas said the country s bishops were firmly against drugs, but killing was not the solution and prayer was the most powerful weapon in our arsenal . Rights groups dispute official police accounts that say drug suspects were killed because they violently resisted arrest. Critics accuse police of executing users and small-time dealers and planting evidence, which police reject. Pablo Virgilio David, bishop in Manila s Caloocan City, where large numbers of drug-related killings have taken place, urged the authorities to end the killings and let healing begin. We disagree that we should treat them like monsters to be eliminated like stray cats and dogs, he said of drug users and criminals. We disagree that a criminal has no more hope of changing his life. worldnews | 1 | filipino bishops urge prayers protest bloody drugs warmanila reuters stepping campaign president rodrigo duterte bloody war drugs catholic bishops philippines called church bells rung next nights congregations light candles pray killing end a pastoral letter catholic bishops conference philippines cbc sent priests urged catholics pray victims saturday all saints day filipino traditionally pay respects dead more people killed operations past months least murders suspected according police data though human rights groups believe numbers understated the relentless bloody campaign drugs shows sign acting implies us bishops declare in name god stop killings archbishop crates villages head cbc said letter such messages typically read aloud church distributed congregations many catholic churches capital already started lighting candles ringing bells five minutes day thousands filipino rallied duterte thursday protest fear emerging dictatorship several churches held mass killings urged people renounce violence the bishops among influential dissenting voices come duterte uncompromising strategy having largely silent issue first erupted last year priests increasingly taken stand campaign as bodies started appear nightly manila slums church stepped opposition denouncing killings cases providing sanctuary witnesses killings drug users feared could targeted villages said country bishops firmly drugs killing solution prayer powerful weapon arsenal rights groups dispute official police accounts say drug suspects killed violently resisted arrest critics accuse police executing users dealers planting evidence police reject pablo virginia david bishop manila caloocan city large numbers killings taken place urged authorities end killings let healing begin we disagree treat like monsters eliminated like stray cats dogs said drug users criminals we disagree criminal hope changing life worldnews |
EU eyes more self-reliance after Trump victoryBRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union must take responsibility for dealing with neighbors Russia, Africa and the Middle East, its commissioner for “neighborhood policy” said on Wednesday after Donald Trump was elected U.S. president. “Europe must shoulder its own share of international responsibility, especially in its neighborhood,” Johannes Hahn said on Twitter, although he also said: “America and Europe have always been strongest when they worked together.” During his campaign, Trump promised radical changes in U.S. policy, praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and questioned the cost of U.S. military and other commitments in Europe. The EU faces a more aggressive Russia to the east, conflicts in the Middle East to the south and an increased threat from Islamist militants among others. The conservative leader in the European Parliament, Manfred Weber, an ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said: “The message is clear: it is now up to Europe. We must be more self-confident and assume more responsibility. We do not know what to expect from the USA. “For the political culture in Europe, this is another wake-up call.” politicsNews | 1 | eu eyes trump victorybrussels reuters the european union must take responsibility dealing neighbors russia africa middle east commissioner neighborhood policy said wednesday donald trump elected president europe must shoulder share international responsibility especially neighborhood johannes hasn said twitter although also said america europe always strongest worked during campaign trump promised radical changes policy praised russian president vladimir putin questioned cost military commitments europe the eu faces aggressive russia east conflicts middle east south increased threat islamic militants among others the conservative leader european parliament managed weber ally german chancellor angela merkel said the message clear europe we must assume responsibility we know expect usa for political culture europe another politicsnews |
U.S. Transportation nominee Chao hits no roadblocks in confirmation hearingWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump’s choice to run the U.S. Transportation Department, Elaine Chao, defended the president-elect’s $1 trillion infrastructure plan as a “bold vision” on Wednesday in an overwhelmingly friendly Senate confirmation hearing. While there is criticism of Chao, in particular on environmental issues, there is no significant opposition to her nomination and she is expected to be confirmed. She served as labor secretary under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009 and was the first Asian-American woman to hold a Cabinet position. She was deputy secretary of transportation under President George H. W. Bush. She was introduced by her husband, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The top-ranking Democrat on the committee, Florida’s Bill Nelson, noted his wife’s friendship with Chao. Chao will take a leading role in Trump’s plans to rebuild crumbling U.S. roads and bridges with a $1 trillion fund. He would offer private investors who put money into projects an 82 percent tax credit but critics say it is unclear how they could recoup investments in most projects without sharply increasing costs for users of most roads and bridges. Chao described the plan to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation as a “bold vision” and acknowledged the need to work on the issue of paying investors back. “For them (partnerships) to be truly effective, there need to be revenue streams that need to be assured,” she added. “We all know that the government doesn’t have the resources to do it all.” Chao is nominated to head a department with such wide-ranging responsibilities as oversight of the nation’s airports and highways, fuel-economy rules for autos and probes into auto makers for safety recalls of key parts like airbags. She declined to take positions on issues like whether the job of air traffic control should be privatized, concerns over the safety of shipments of crude oil by rail, foreign airlines like Norwegian Air Shuttle’s push to move into the U.S. market and regulation of developing technology like autonomous vehicles and drones. Chao faced no questions about her memberships on corporate boards. Chao is on the board of Wells Fargo & Co which has struggled since September after it agreed with regulators to pay $190 million in fines and restitution to settle charges that its employees wrongly created as many as 2 million accounts without customer authorization. Chao is an immigrant from Taiwan who arrived in the United States at age 8. Her father, James S.C. Chao, is founder of the Foremost Group, an international shipping company. politicsNews | 1 | transportation nominee chan hits roadblocks confirmation hearingwashington reuters donald trump choice run transportation department line chan defended trillion infrastructure plan bold vision wednesday overwhelmingly friendly senate confirmation hearing while criticism chan particular environmental issues significant opposition nomination expected confirmed she served labor secretary president george bush first woman hold cabinet position she deputy secretary transportation president george bush she introduced husband senate majority leader mitch mcconnell the democrat committee florida bill nelson noted wife friendship chan chan take leading role trump plans rebuild crumbling roads bridges trillion fund he would offer private investors put money projects percent tax credit critics say unclear could record investments projects without sharply increasing costs users roads bridges chan described plan senate committee commerce science transportation bold vision acknowledged need work issue paying investors back for partnerships truly effective need revenue streams need assured added we know government resources chan nominated head department responsibilities oversight nation airports highways rules autos probes auto makers safety recalls key parts like airways she declined take positions issues like whether job air traffic control privatized concerns safety shipments crude oil rail foreign airlines like norwegian air shuttle push move market regulation developing technology like autonomous vehicles drones chan faced questions memberships corporate boards chan board wells cargo co struggled since september agreed regulators pay million fines restitution settle charges employees wrongly created many million accounts without customer authorization chan immigrant taiwan arrived united states age her father james chan founder foremost group international shipping company politicsnews |
BREAKING NEWS: N. AMERICAN FAMILY Held Hostage During Obama Presidency RESCUED In Pakistan: “This is a country that did not respect us, this is a country that respects us now” [VIDEO]In 2017, Kelli O Brien, the aunt of Joshua Boyle spoke publicly about the kidnapping of her nephew and his wife Caitlan Boyle who expresses her disappointment over the lack of response from Prime Minister Trudeau. Interestingly enough, Trudeau was visiting President Trump when Trump announced that he would soon be announcing some very good news would be forthcoming regarding the captured family s status.TODAY, Boyle and Coleman s families got some very good news! More winning An American woman, her Canadian husband, and their three children have been freed from captivity by Pakistani security forces, nearly five years after being taken hostage by the Taliban in Afghanistan.The initial word came from a Pakistani Army statement and was confirmed by US officials.The couple, American Caitlan Coleman, 31, and her American husband, Joshua Boyle, 33, were kidnapped by the Taliban in 2012 while they were traveling as tourists in Afghanistan and were held in captivity since.Coleman was pregnant when she was kidnapped. The couple had two more children born in captivity.Here is a video showing Joshua Boyle and his wife Caitlin Coleman speaking to the camera while in captivity in January 2017: In a statement, the Pakistani Army said US intelligence agencies had been tracking the hostages and shared intelligence with Pakistan when the family was moved to the country. US officials confirmed there was intelligence about their location in recent days that was shared with the Pakistanis. The operation by Pakistani forces, based on actionable intelligence from US authorities was successful; all hostages were recovered safe and sound and are being repatriated to the country of their origin, the statement said. The success underscores the importance of timely intelligence sharing and Pakistan s continued commitment towards fighting this menace through cooperation between two forces against a common enemy. It is possible that the successful recovery of the family was what was being referenced Wednesday when President Donald Trump told a crowd in Pennsylvania that something happened today where a country that totally disrespected us called with some very, very important news. Trump did not disclose what country or any details involved but said one of my generals came in and they said, you know, I have to tell you, a year ago they would have never done that. This is a country that did not respect us, this is a country that respects us now. The world is starting to respect us again, believe me, Trump said appearing to reference Pakistan and that country s role in bringing about the recovery of the four hostages.

At least 30 police die in clash in Egypt's Western desert: security sourcesCAIRO (Reuters) - Armed militants killed at least 30 policemen in a shootout during a raid on a suspected militant hideout in Egypt s Western desert, security sources said on Friday. A number of suspected militants were also killed and security forces are combing the area, a statement by the Interior Ministry said. Egypt is facing an Islamist insurgency concentrated in the Sinai peninsula from two main groups, including an Islamic State affiliate, that has killed hundreds of security forces since 2013. Islamist militants have launched several major attacks, most recently targeting churches in Cairo and other cities with the loss of dozens of lives. The security sources said authorities were following a lead to a hideout deep in the desert thought to house eight suspected members of Hasm, a group which has claimed several attacks around the capital targeting judges and police since last year. A convoy of four SUVs and one interior ministry vehicle was ambushed from higher ground by militants firing rocket-propelled grenades and detonating explosive devices, a senior source in the Giza Security Office said. The number of dead was expected to rise, two security sources said. Two security sources said eight security personnel were injured in the clashes, while another source said that four of the injured were police and four others suspected militants. Egypt accuses Hasm of being the militant wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist group it outlawed in 2013. The Muslim Brotherhood denies this. The Islamist insurgency in the Sinai peninsula has grown since the military overthrew President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood in mid-2013 following mass protests against his rule. The militant group staging the insurgency pledged allegiance to Islamic State in 2014. It is blamed for the killing of hundreds of soldiers and policemen and has started to target other areas, including Egypt s Christian Copts.

New Russian ambassador to U.S. calls for resumed military contactsMOSCOW (Reuters) - Moscow and Washington should re-establish direct contacts between their military and foreign policy chiefs, Russia’s new ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, said on Wednesday. “The time has come to resume joint meetings of Russia’s and the United States’ foreign and defence ministers in a ‘two plus two’ format,” Antonov said in an interview published on the Kommersant business daily’s web site. Military contacts between Moscow and Washington were frozen in 2014 due to the Ukraine crisis. Antonov also called for meetings between the heads of Russia’s Federal Security Service and Foreign Intelligence Service and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and Central Intelligence Agency. A “working cooperation” between Russia’s Security Council and the U.S. National Security Council could also help fight terrorism, cyber threats and help strategic stability, he said. Antonov, a former deputy foreign minister, is subject to European sanctions over his role in the conflict in Ukraine.

Japan calls snap election as new party roils outlookTOKYO (Reuters) - A fledgling party led by popular Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike gained momentum on Thursday ahead of an Oct. 22 election as the biggest opposition Democratic Party said it would step aside to let its candidates run under her conservative, reformist banner. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a conservative who returned to power in 2012, hopes a recent boost in voter support will help his Liberal Democratic Party-led (LDP) coalition maintain a simple majority. It now holds a two-thirds super majority. But Koike s new Party of Hope, only formally launched on Wednesday, has upended the outlook for the election after the former LDP member announced she would lead it herself. I m someone who is always ready to take action, Koike told a news conference where she spoke about her achievements since taking office as governor a year ago. A media-savvy former defense minister whose name has often been floated to be Japan s first female prime minister, Koike said she would not run for a seat herself, although speculation persists that she will. Democratic Party executives said they would not run candidates of their own and would let members run under the Party of Hope banner. The party has struggled to overcome rock-bottom ratings, defections and an image tainted by its rocky stint in power from 2009 to 2012. After the cabinet formally set the date of the election, Abe told reporters, I decided to call this election because we must overcome the national crisis of the threat from North Korea and an aging population by obtaining a mandate from the people. Some opposition lawmakers boycotted the dissolution session, in protest against Abe s election decision, which could bring about a political vacuum at a time of high tension with North Korea over its missile and nuclear arms programs. A survey by the Mainichi newspaper showed 18 percent of voters plan to vote for Koike s party, compared to 29 percent for Abe s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). An Asahi newspaper poll showed 13 percent planned to vote for her party, versus 32 percent for the LDP. Both surveys asked voters their preference for proportional representation districts where ballots are cast for parties, rather than candidates. Voters in many countries have shown they are willing to take a risk, even a severe risk, in terms of what will actually happen because they are disappointed with the status quo, said Martin Schulz, a researcher at Fujitsu Research Institute. But Schulz, who drew a comparison to French President Emmanuel Macron s meteoric rise, added that Koike s platform might not be so appealing, given its similarities to LDP policies. Abe s personal ratings have risen to about 50 percent from about 30 percent in July, partly on the back of his leadership during the current North Korea crisis. But opposition parties say he called the election to escape questioning in parliament about suspected cronyism scandals that had cut into his support. Koike, 65, defied the LDP to run successfully for Tokyo governor last year and her novice local party then crushed the LDP in a metropolitan assembly election in July. Her Party of Hope shares policy space with the business-friendly LDP, but she has staked out different stances on two issues likely to appeal to voters. Koike, who wants Japan to abandon nuclear power, said she would study ways to eliminate dependence on it by 2030. Abe s government aims to retain its role in the energy mix, despite worries over safety after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear crisis. Koike also wants to freeze a planned rise in the national sales tax to 10 percent from 8 percent in 2019. Abe says he will raise the tax but spend more on child care and education instead of paying down public debt.

Foreign government code reviews 'problematic': White House cyber officialWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Allowing foreign governments to require reviews of software secrets of technology products built by U.S. companies is “problematic,” the top White House cyber security official said on Tuesday, adding that the increasingly common arrangements presented both security and intellectual property risks. Rob Joyce, the White House cyber security coordinator, said that letting countries inspect source code, the closely guarded internal instructions of software, as a condition for entry into foreign markets was a protectionist effort by certain regimes that threatened a “free and open internet” and could “hobble” a product’s security and privacy features. Reuters on Monday reported that Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) last year allowed a Russian defense agency to review the inner workings of cyber defense software known as ArcSight that is used by the Pentagon to guard its computer networks. (Read the original Reuters special report: here ) Cyber security experts, former U.S. intelligence officials and former ArcSight employees said the practice could help Moscow discover weaknesses in the software, potentially helping attackers to blind the U.S. military to a cyber attack. “There are security aspects of those disclosures (and) they are problematic,” Joyce, a former hacker at the U.S. National Security Agency, said at a Washington Post Cybersecurity Summit when asked specifically about the story. He added that he was more concerned about the intellectual property risks associated with the reviews, however. “If you give your source code to China as a condition of entering into that market, you’ve got to wonder if competitors are then going to start to adopt those features,” Joyce said at the event, which was sponsored by HPE. “And we’ve seen some examples of that in the past and that really concerns us.” Asked about Joyce’s comments, an HPE spokeswoman said the company “has never and will never take actions that compromise the security of our products or the operations of our customers.” The company said the reviews have taken place for years and are conducted by a Russian testing company at an HPE research and development center outside of Russia, where the software maker closely supervises the process, and that no code is allowed to leave the premises. HPE has said the inspection process was necessary to obtain certification from Russia’s Federal Service for Technical and Export Control (FSTEC), a defense agency tasked with countering cyber espionage, in order to sell software in Russia. The review of ArcSight’s code was conducted by Echelon, a company with close ties to the Russian military, on behalf of FSTEC, according to Russian regulatory records and interviews with people with direct knowledge of the issue. British tech company Micro Focus International Plc (MCRO.L), which purchased ArcSight from HPE last year in a transaction completed in September, did not respond when asked about Joyce’s remarks. Micro Focus has not responded to requests for comment on whether it would allow Russia to do similar source code reviews in the future. Russia in recent years has stepped up demands for source code reviews as a requirement for doing business in the country, Reuters reported in June. China in May adopted a new cyber security law that western companies have criticized for requiring overly strict data surveillance and storage requirements. The law has raised concern that companies will need to choose between compromising security to protect business and losing out on the enormous Chinese market. “The idea that you can’t enter China’s market without offering up your intellectual property in this way, without agreeing maybe to hobble some of the security and privacy features of it ... Russia is heading that way, a bunch of totalitarian regimes are heading that way,” Joyce said. politicsNews | 1 | foreign government code reviews white house cyber officialwashington reuters allowing foreign governments require reviews software secrets technology products built companies problematic top white house cyber security official said tuesday adding increasingly common arrangements presented security intellectual property risks rob joyce white house cyber security coordinator said letting countries inspect source code closely guarded internal instructions software condition entry foreign markets protections effort certain regimes threatened free open internet could gobble product security privacy features reuters monday reported rowlett package enterprise he last year allowed russian defense agency review inner workings cyber defense software known arcsight used pentagon guard computer networks read original reuters special report cyber security experts former intelligence officials former arcsight employees said practice could help moscow discover weaknesses software potentially helping attackers blind military cyber attack there security aspects disclosures problematic joyce former hacker national security agency said washington post cybersecurity summit asked specifically story he added concerned intellectual property risks associated reviews however if give source code china condition entering market got wonder competitors going start adopt features joyce said event sponsored he and seen examples past really concerns asked joyce comments he spokeswoman said company never never take actions compromise security products operations the company said reviews taken place years conducted russian testing company he research development center outside russia software maker closely supervises process code allowed leave premises he said inspection process necessary obtain certification russia federal service technical export control sec defense agency tasked countering cyber espionage order sell software russia the review arcsight code conducted echelon company close ties russian military behalf sec according russian regulatory records interviews people direct knowledge issue british tech company micro focus international plc purchased arcsight he last year transaction completed september respond asked joyce remarks micro focus responded requests comment whether would allow russia similar source code reviews future russia recent years stepped demands source code reviews requirement business country reuters reported june china may adopted new cyber security law western companies criticized requiring overly strict data surveillance storage requirements the law raised concern companies need choose compromising security protect business losing enormous chinese market the idea enter china market without offering intellectual property way without agreeing maybe gobble security privacy features russia heading way bunch totalitarian regimes heading way joyce said politicsnews |
BUSTED! WASHINGTON POST Skips Maxine Waters’ Admission Of No Guilt Found In Trump/Russia Collusion [Podcast]There are 20 Democrats who at certain times have called for Comey to be fired but all you hear this morning is that the firing was done by Trump to stop the Russia investigation. The hypocrisy is HUGE!These people are desperately trying to keep this ball moving down the field. The problem is that there is no there there in the Trump/Russia investigation.Even Maxine Waters said the Russia investigation has nothing on Trump:There is probably no one in Congress more openly opposed to President Donald Trump than Maxine Waters. We have already seen that she has called for Trump s impeachment. Therefore when even Waters states there is not yet any evidence at this time of Trump-Russia collusion, that is certainly significant. That is why it is astonishing that Washington Post opinion writer Jonathan Capehart left that significant admission made during his own podcast off his May 9 column about it.First let us listen to the segment of Capehart s podcast in which Waters made her surprising admission:How convenient for the left-leaning publication to leave out a direct statement by Maxine Waters. By the way, the title of the article is a rip roaring race baiting title:Maxine Waters: Jeff Sessions believes it s his job to keep minorities in their place Who does this in 2017? Jeff Sessions is such a good man who DOES NOT deserve such a nasty comment from Congresswoman Waters. Shame on her and shame on Capehart for making this comment the title!JONATHAN CAPEHART: I ve got to ask you, because you leveled a whole lot of accusations out there about collusions and hacking and all of that. Have you seen anything, either through the intelligence briefings, anything to back up any of the accusations that you ve made?MAXINE WATERS: First of all, don t forget that all of our intelligence agencies say, yes, they have the documentation that they did the hacking on the DNC and on some of us.CAPEHART: But the collusion, though?WATERS: No, we have not. That s why investigations are so important, to drill down and to connect those dots and to get the facts. What we have is a lot of smoke that causes us to want to know more about what has happened. Why is it there are so many people around him are connected to oil? Why is it that Michael Flynn, who evidently has a great relationship with Putin, who has received payments for so-called speeches and who s spent a lot of time in Russia and was accused of talking about sanctions, he lied about it and he got caught?In his column writeup about his podcast interview with Maxine Waters, Capehart tossed that admission of no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion down the memory hole.politics | 0 | busted washington post skips marine waters admission of no guilt found in collusion podcast there democrats certain times called come fired hear morning firing done trump stop russia investigation the hypocrisy huge these people desperately trying keep ball moving field the problem marine waters said russia investigation nothing trump there probably one congress openly opposed president donald trump marine waters we already seen called trump impeachment therefore even waters states yet evidence time collusion certainly significant that astonishing washington post opinion writer jonathan capehart left significant admission made podcast may column let us listen segment capehart podcast waters made surprising admission how convenient publication leave direct statement marine waters by way title article rip roaring race baiting title marine waters jeff sessions believes job keep minorities place who jeff sessions good man does not deserve nasty comment congressman waters shame shame capehart making comment title jonathan capehart i got ask leveled whole lot accusations collisions hacking have seen anything either intelligence briefings anything back accusations made marine waters first forget intelligence agencies say yes documentation hacking dnc but collusion though waters no that investigations important drill connect dots get facts what lot smoke causes us want know happened why many people around connected oil why michael flynn evidently great relationship putin received payments speeches spent lot time russia accused talking sanctions lied got caught in column writer podcast interview marine waters capehart tossed admission evidence collusion memory |
4 EASY TO UNDERSTAND REASONS My Ancestors Are NOT The Same as Illegals Who Come To America TodayHow many times have liberals used the argument that everyone s relatives came here illegally! ? The answer is about a million or more times. Liberals can t seem to differentiate between people who came to our nation to either escape persecution or to find a better life that came through Ellis Island or immediately applied for citizenship in America, and those who float across the Rio Grande on an inner-tube after paying a coyote a fee to help them illegally cross our borders.This meme brilliantly explains the difference in 4 short bullet points.:Here s a little visual for anyone who tells you #4 isn t true:It is estimated that 12.5 million illegal aliens are currently living in the United States.Below, are a series of visuals from the Federation for American Immigration Reform or FAIR to help Americans to understand the cost of illegal immigration to taxpaying Americans. This data from September 27, 2017, paints a pretty bleak economic picture for America if we continue to ignore the serious problem of illegal immigration: FAIR At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $134.9 billion to cover the costs incurred by the presence of more than 12.5 million illegal aliens, and about 4.2 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a tax burden of approximately $8,075 per illegal alien family member and a total of $115,894,597,664. The total cost of illegal immigration to U.S. taxpayers is both staggering and crippling. In 2013, FAIR estimated the total cost to be approximately $113 billion. So, in under four years, the cost has risen nearly $3 billion. This is a disturbing and unsustainable trend. politics | 0 | easy to understand reasons my ancestors are not the same illegal who come to america todayhow many times liberals used argument everyone relatives came illegally the answer million times liberals seem differentiate people came nation either escape persecution find better life came ellis island immediately applied citizenship america float across rio grande paying coyote fee help illegally cross meme brilliantly explains difference short bullet points here little visual anyone tells true it estimated million illegal aliens currently living united series visuals federation american immigration reform fair help americans understand cost illegal immigration taxpaying americans this data september paints pretty bleak economic picture america continue ignore serious problem illegal immigration fair at federal state local levels taxpayers shell approximately billion cover costs incurred presence million illegal aliens million citizen children illegal aliens that amounts tax burden approximately per illegal alien family member total the total cost illegal immigration taxpayers staggering crippling in fair estimated total cost approximately billion so four years cost risen nearly billion this disturbing unsustainable trend politics |

It’s Official: #Brexit Has Made The U.K. As Racist As Donald Trump Has Made Us (TWEETS)A few days ago, Great Britain voted to walk off a cliff by leaving the European Union, sending the world into a frenzy. Parliament still has to ratify the vote, so it s not a binding resolution (yet), however, it has already had some terrible effects on the U.K. Since the vote, the rate of blatant racism and hate crimes has skyrocketed over there. Brexit turned the U.K. into what we ve become here, thanks to the rise of Donald Trump.What s sad is that, according to The Independent, many of the perpetrators of these crimes cite the leave vote as a reason for their crimes, because that totally makes it okay. Yet, the victims of those crimes aren t just immigrants many of them are people who were born in the U.K., but don t look sufficiently domestic for the xenophobic white supremacists that have taken over the country.Sound familiar? It s because we have that problem here, thanks to Trump and his xenophobic, white supremacist followers. Just look at what CBS reporter Sopan Deb goes through while covering His Royal Racist. He s repeatedly asked if he works for ISIS, and is frequently the target of Islamophobic remarks from Trump s loyal fans. He was also assaulted by cops at Trump s cancelled rally in Chicago.Social media is abuzz with this. There s a photo album on Facebook, called Worrying Signs, that contains well over 100 instances of people talking about racist encounters, or witnessing that racism happen to someone else. Below is a sampling of tweets that show what s happening across the pond:Man s t-shirt reads Welcome to Britain now fit in or f*ck off . Tells me he s got his country back.

Knocked out w/ a bottle, lost a tooth, stitches. I m scared. Kirsty Allan (@kirstyrallan) June 26, 2016Here in the U.S., we have a Trump fan running for Congress who wants to make America white again. We have people who are just fine with Trump saying that Latinos are illegals who are rapists and killers. We have a state governor who claimed the rise of drug abuse in his state was due to guys with names like D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty, and said that they impregnate a young white girl before they leave. He replied to criticism with, Race is irrelevant. Trump didn t create these problems, his rise just made it okay to be a racist pig in the open, and claim that anyone who s offended is just trying to force political correctness on them. And so it is with the U.K., where the Brexit movement made it okay to be openly racist towards immigrants again.We hope these people the ones who spurred this xenophobic outrage by painting anyone who isn t a white, British native as one of their main problems are proud of themselves.Featured image by Christopher Furlong/Getty ImagesNews | 0 | it official brexit has made the as racist as donald trump has made us tweets a days ago great britain voted walk cliff leaving european union sending world frenzy parliament still ratify vote binding resolution yet however already terrible effects since vote rate blatant racism hate crimes skyrocketed brexit turned become thanks rise donald sad according the independent many perpetrators crimes cite leave vote reason crimes totally makes okay yet victims crimes immigrants many people born look sufficiently domestic xenophobia white supremacists taken familiar it problem thanks trump xenophobia white supremacist followers just look cbs reporter span deb goes covering his royal racist he repeatedly asked works isis frequently target islamophobic remarks trump loyal fans he also assaulted cops trump cancelled rally media buzz there photo album facebook called worrying signs contains well instances people talking racist encounters witnessing racism happen someone else below sampling tweets show happening across pond man reads welcome britain fit f ck tells got country back iran jenkins june it stop muslims coming country simple brexit iran jenkins june there many foreigners country none work me work man well work good luck iran jenkins june been standing five minutes three different people shouted send home iran jenkins june testo england foreigners hours f k right who foreign anyone foreign brexit max frac fullofeels june silence political parties face spike racist xenophobia abuse absolute fucking disgrace shame shame shame matofkilburnia june polish workers interviewed brexit bbclooknorth want faces shown fear reprisals uk david head davidheadviews june so less hrs brexit results announced i pleasure called pak c nt suit homeless man banking buddha thebuddhasmiled june bus stop van went someone screaming white power brexit stephanie nerdabouttown june this evening daughter left work birmingham saw group lads corner muslim girl shouting get voted leave awful times heaven crawler heavencrawley june comfort today photo permission diamondgeezer jim paterson jimwaterson june police investigating hateful notes posted letterboxes polish residents cambridgeshire following brexit vote lb breaking lbcbreaking june emboldening i confronted pissed guy street shouting racist sexist abuse black woman tom gain tom_gain june f king foreigner go back country watched outrageous racist incident hockey https shale stern shulemstern june person i last night assaulted asking someone voted knocked bottle lost tooth stitches i scared first allan kirstyrallan june trump fan running congress wants make america white we people fine trump saying latino illegal rapists killers we state governor claimed rise drug abuse state due guys names like smooth shift said impregnated young white girl leave he replied criticism race irrelevant trump create problems rise made okay racist pig open claim anyone offended trying force political correctness and brexit movement made okay openly racist towards immigrants hope people ones spurred xenophobia outrage painting anyone white british native one main problems proud image christopher imagenes |
