Muslims Savagely Attack Christians In Sydney Screaming “F*** Jesus” And “Allahu Akbar
Posted by Allan Stein

The insane policy of Western politicians has been to blow up Muslim countries in the pursuit of regime change and to open the floodgates to Muslim refugees.

How's that "welcoming humanitarian effort" been working out for us?

The Daily Telegraph of Sydney reports a Greek Orthodox man was beaten and had a large cross ripped from his neck by four Muslim men who shouted "F--k Jesus" and "Allahu Akbar."

The Telegraph notes the incident happened on a train while four uniformed Transport Officers stood by and did nothing. Sydney Train defended the inaction of the officers since they are not authorized to intervene.

Sydney police later wrote down the names of the assailants, for all the good that will do.

The Rev. George Capsis said four other Christian men have complained to him about the harassment in Sydney's sketchy Muslim enclaves.

What is extraordinary about this latest anti-Christian attack in Australia is that it happened in the first place.

Until Australia changed its immigration policy to allow thousands of Muslims to immigrate, the land Down Under was a largely peaceful and culturally homogeneous society. The same nightmare is unfolding in EU countries where any criticism of Muslim extremists or government immigration policy is met with harsh condemnation and even fines or imprisonment. It is only a matter of time until the same sorts of things start happening in the United States.

Now that the U.S. has committed itself to yet another middle east war Western nations can expect to see a greater influx of refugees, and there is really nothing they are going to do to stop it.

The root of the Islamic extremist problem in the West, when you come right down to it, is weakening opposition and the deterioration of traditional Christian values.

Former President George W. Bush once "reasoned" following 9/11 it was better to fight Islamic extremism "over there" so we wouldn't have to fight it over here.

It hasn't quite worked out according to plan, has it W?


Australian wearing cross beaten by Muslims

Updated:Apr 11 2017 09:45AM EDT

NEW YORK (FOX5NY) - A Christian man says he was attacked on a train in a Sydney, Australia suburb by a group of Muslim men because he was wearing a cross.

The man says he and his girlfriend were minding their own business when the four young men ripped the crucifix off of his neck and stomped on it while swearing "F*** Jesus" and referring to "Allah."

The man also says he was punched and kicked in the face, back and shoulders during the mid-afternoon attack.

When his girlfriend tried to defend him, two Arabic-speaking women also allegedly hit and kicked her, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The couple says that the attack happened in front of two transportation officers, who didn't help. The rail agency says that the officers called for police to arrive at the next station because they are not supposed to intervene with physical alterations.

Police confirmed that they were investigating "reports of alleged religiously-motivated abuse on a Sydney train this week" but no arrests were immediately made by officers.

One reverend has told his community to avoid wearing overtly religious symbols when they travel through Muslim enclaves outside of Sydney



Muslims Attack Christians And Destroy Their Church, The Christians Declare: “We Don’t Worship A God Of Buildings. Our God Is In Here” And Point To Their Hearts

By Theodore Shoebat

A very inspiring story has been released on how after ISIS agents destroyed a Christian church, the Christians declared: “We don’t worship a God of buildings. Our God is in here” and pointed to their hearts.

remember when.....
Seniors and the disabled "will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care."

— Sarah Palin on Friday, August 7th, 2009 in a message posted on Facebook

"As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and we’re saying not just no, but hell no!" wrote Palin in a note posted Aug. 7, 2009.

She said that the Democrats plan to reduce health care costs by simply refusing to pay for care.

"And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil."

We agree with Palin that such a system would be evil. But it's definitely not what President Barack Obama or any other Democrat has proposed.

We've looked at the inflammatory claims that the health care bill encourages euthanasia. It doesn't. There's certainly no "death board" that determines the worthiness of individuals to receive care. Conservatives might make a case that Palin is justified in fearing that the current reform could one day morph into such a board.




Cancer Patients are Opting to be Euthanized Because They Can’t Afford Chemo
National SPUC Apr 11, 2017 | 6:21PM Salem, Oregon

A new study on America’s oldest physician aided suicide programme shows that numbers of those being euthanised have been steadily increasing, and reveals that some are opting to end their lives because they cannot afford chemotherapy.

The study, published in JAMA Oncology, is one of the first detailed analyses of the Death with Dignity Act, which passed in the state of Oregon 18 years ago. It shows a 12 percent yearly increase in lethal prescriptions from 1998 to 2013, with an unexplained jump of nearly 30 percent in 2015.

Although the lead author of the study, Dr. Charles Blanke, an Oregon Health & Science University oncologist, who has himself issued about 65 lethal prescriptions, said the data “indicates the law is working as intended to give dying people a choice of how they want to die”, there were some worrying findings.
Inadequate pain control

It was found that in 25.2% of cases, inadequate pain control was given as a reason for desiring euthanasia. Dr Blanke called that a tragedy, saying scientists must make sure patients aren’t killing themselves because they’re not getting help managing their pain.
Cost of chemo

Shockingly, it was also reported that 3% of patients used the law because the cost of chemotherapy was too high. “What’s worse than that – literally nothing,” Dr Blanke said. There are known examples of this happening – both Barbara Wager and Randy Stroup were told that their medical insurance would not pay for cancer treatment, but would cover assisted suicide.

Depression
Concerns have also been raised about the mental competency of those choosing euthanasia. Brian Johnson, a consultant for the California-based group, Seniors Against Suicide, and a former California commissioner on ageing, said the study shows that patients were deeply depressed. “This is a cry for help,” he said. “Suicide is the number one indicator of depression.”

Dr Blanke admitted that this might be a problem, saying research has shown that as many as three in four terminal patients are depressed. “Either we’re missing depression,” Dr Blanke said, “or it’s possible that physicians agree that depression is not enough to make a person incompetent to make such an important decision.”

The Oregon Catholic Conference called on physicians to improve pain care for end-of-life patients, and said: “Assisted suicide laws make suicide socially acceptable. As a result, Oregon’s overall suicide rate is 41 percent higher than the national rate. Assisted suicide, like other forms of suicide, has negative effects on victims and families.”

Rich Lowry Documents the Collusion Between Russia and Obama

Apr 11, 2017

RUSH: Rich Lowry has done a great piece of work here at National Review. “Turns Out Obama Was the Real Russian Stooge.” All of this that Lowry writes about is known and has been known, but it was known and reported on, discussed in piecemeal fashion. What Rich has done here is put it down in a page and a half in almost chronological order, in as simple and understandable a way as possible. And he has a very clever beginning of the piece.

“The circumstantial evidence is mounting that the Kremlin succeeded in infiltrating the US government at the highest levels.” Now, the hoi polloi and the great unwashed reading that are obviously going to think that Lowry is talking about the Russians colluding with Trump to beat Hillary.

“The circumstantial evidence is mounting that the Kremlin succeeded in infiltrating the US government at the highest levels. How else to explain a newly elected president looking the other way after an act of Russian aggression? Agreeing to a farcically one-sided nuclear deal? Mercilessly mocking the idea that Russia represents our foremost geo-political foe?”

Let me take each one of these. How else to explain a newly elected president looking the other way after an act of Russian aggression. That’s Obama and Crimea. That’s Obama and Ukraine. And that’s Assad. At every step of the way, when Russia, when Putin commits an act of aggression, Obama said (imitating Obama), “You better cut it out. You better stop doing it,” and with Syria he drew a red line and dared Assad to cross it. Assad crossed the red line; Putin kept acting aggressive. Nothing was done to stop it.

Agreeing to a farcically one-sided nuclear deal, that’s Iran. Agreeing that the region’s number one terror state will be permitted to develop nuclear power under terms of an agreement with the American president, that’s Obama. That is not Trump. And mercilessly mocking the idea that Russia represented our foremost geopolitical foe, that’s the presidential campaign of 2012 when Mitt Romney was doing everything he could to convince people that Russia was a foremost enemy, and it was Obama and his team mocking Romney for seeing a communist behind every rock, making a mountain out of a molehill and being stereotypical in his foreign policy.

It was Obama at every stage of the way aiding and abetting and facilitating Putin and the Russians. But we’re not through. How else to explain a newly elected president “accommodating the illicit nuclear ambitions of a Russian ally?” Of a president, an American president “welcoming a Russian foothold in the Middle East?” Hello, Syria. Hello, Iran.

How about an American president “refusing to provide arms to a sovereign country invaded by Russia?” Hello, Ukraine. An American president “diminishing our defenses and pursuing a Moscow-friendly policy of hostility to fossil fuels?” That would be Obama and climate change, which benefits Putin and the Russians. All of these items, of course, refer to things said or done by Barack Hussein Obama, not by Donald Trump.

“To take them in order: He re-set with Russia shortly after its clash with Georgia in 2008. He concluded the New START agreement with Moscow that reduced our nuclear forces but not theirs. When candidate Mitt Romney warned about Russia in the 2012 campaign, Obama rejected him as a Cold War relic.

“The president then went on to forge an agreement with Russia’s ally Iran to allow it to preserve its nuclear program. During the red-line fiasco, he eagerly grasped a lifeline from Russia at the price of accepting its intervention in Syria. He never budged on giving Ukraine ‘lethal’ weapons to defend itself from Russian attack,” which we had sworn by treaty to do. We were the ones that made Ukraine give up its military in exchange for our defending them against such aggression.

Then when the aggression happened and they had no weaponry to defend themselves, we sided with the aggressor, Russia. All of this, Barack Obama. Not a single instance of this collusion can be laid to Donald Trump because he was not even running for president when this stuff happened. The evidence of Kremlin, Moscow, and Washington collusion is with Obama and Putin. “Finally, Obama cut US defense spending and cracked down on fossil fuels — a policy that Russia welcomes, since its economy is dependent on high oil prices.”

So it is abundantly clear that if anybody in our country was working with Russia to their benefit, it was Barack Obama and the Democrat Party. It was not Donald Trump. All of this business about Russia and Trump colluding to deny the election, it would have made every bit of sense in the world for Putin to want Hillary Clinton to win to continue just this kind of deference.

With this evidence and using common sense guided by intelligence, there is no way Putin would want to deal with some newcomer like Trump who was talking tough. America first and all this sort of stuff. He would much rather prefer Hillary Clinton, guaranteed to continue the same appeasement policies of Barack Obama as she was promising to do.

Since Trump's election in 2016 there have been five special elections that Democrats have tried to win -- but they have lost all five, including this one in Kansas.
GOP Dashes Dems' Upset Hopes in Kansas Congressional Election

Too Close for Comfort.
Guy Benson

Posted: Apr 11, 2017 10:35 PM
High Democratic intensity (including lots of small donors from out of state), plus an exceptionally unpopular Republican Governor, plus an underwhelming candidate who declined to attend multiple candidate forums combined to set Democrats up for a potential upset. They've fallen short nonetheless. We'll wait for the final tally, but that sound you hear is a collective sigh of relief from the Republican Party, followed by another inhale as party strategists ponder whether this relatively close shave might be an omen of difficulties ahead. On the plus side for the GOP, Democrats have now gone 0-for-5 in seat-flipping opportunities at the state and federal levels since Trump's election (and actually gained a legislative seat in Louisiana). That's no small thing.

After President Obama's 2008 victory, Republicans pulled off several statement wins in gubernatorial contests (Bob McDonnell's blowout in Virginia and Chris Christie's win in deep blue New Jersey) and a major Senate race (the Scott Brown stunner in lefty Massachusetts) prior to the historic 2010 landslide. There were significant warning signs along the way. Those haven't materialized for Democrats in 2017 -- yet, at least. On the other hand, a single-digit win in deep red Kansas isn't remotely impressive. Democrats will point to the relatively close margin as a sign that the GOP is in trouble. Republicans will shrug and point out that they still won, even though the candidate was lackluster and had major ties to one of the least popular governors in America. Each party will have another chance to shape the narrative one week from tonight, when Georgia's sixth Congressional District votes. Click through for a brief explainer on the dynamics of that race.

Extermination of Christians in Egypt Not Getting Enough Attention: Piers Morgan Asks, ‘Why?’
By Susan Jones | April 11, 2017 | 6:31 AM EDT



Blood stains the pews inside the St. George Church after a suicide bombing in the Nile Delta town of Tanta, Egypt, Sunday, April 9, 2017. Bombs exploded at two Coptic churches in the northern Egyptian cities of Tanta and Alexandria as worshippers were celebrating Palm Sunday, killing over 40 people and wounding scores more in assaults claimed by the Islamic State. (AP Photo/Nariman El-Mofty)


ISIS said it sent suicide bombers to the two churches, one in Alexandria and one in Tanta. The head of the Coptic Christian church, Pope Tawadros II, was inside the cathedral in Alexandria when the bomb exploded, but he was not hurt.

ISIS also bombed a Cairo church in December, killing 30 people there, and it has threatened more violence directed at Christians, saying their blood will flow “like rivers,” the Associated Press reported.

While terror attacks in Paris, Nice, London and Sweden all got “huge attention,” the ones in Egypt did not, and that’s a problem, Piers Morgan, the editor-at-large at Daily Mail.com, told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson Monday night.

“They want Christianity eradicated, and they want to convert all Muslims to their crusade. They want it to be a holy war. And they want Christians gone. And I don't think that narrative is getting the attention it should get in the American media and, I have to say, in other media as well around the world.”

Morgan pointed to last week’s suicide bombing of a subway in St. Petersburg, Russia, that killed 13 people. Press reports on Monday said eight members of “extremist cells” have been arrested in connection with that attack.

Piers Morgan said ISIS was very blunt about the St. Petersburg attack: “They made it absolutely clear, this is a war against the cross. They said that. That is what the statement said.

“They are at war in their heads with Christianity. Not just with Christianity, they are at war with all other religions as well. But they have been signaling out in increasingly virulent terms that their real war now is against Christians and the cross.”

Morgan, a Catholic, said he’s concerned about the pope, who is due to visit Egypt on April 28 and 29. “He would be a massive target, a massive prize for these Islamist terrorists,” Morgan said.

“They have made it very clear that he is the number one target for them in that battle against Christians. They attacked the church where the Coptic pope was actually officiating. So they have made their intentions clear.

“Now, I think this is a huge story. This is the kind of story that ought to be dominating cable news in America. It should be dominating headlines around the world. The press in America should be full of headlines about this. This narrative, to me, is very straightforward. ISIS have declared war on Christianity. I'm not seeing that being covered enough.”

Morgan told Carlson he works “literally 500 yards from Westminster Bridge,” where a man named Khalid Masood rammed a rented SUV into pedestrians on March 22, killing four of them, then stabbing a security guard at the gates of the British Parliament.

While people like Masood are “dangerous,” what happened in Egypt “was hugely more significant in the overall war,” Morgan said. The attack on the Egyptian churches “looks very tactical by ISIS. It looked like they sent in highly trained people to do this.

“And it looked (like) a far more coordinated part of a much bigger plot by them to take on Christianity…But again, the coverage of St. Petersburg, the coverage of Egypt, not as high as the coverage of a handful of people being killed in Sweden and London. And I ask, simply, why?”

This is the first I've even heard that the Pope was in the building or that ISIS is openly admitting he is a target. Good Lord - nobody cares! Why doesn't this mean anything to anybody??

'Star Trek' Star Blames Trump for United Airlines Incident
Todd Williamson/Getty Images [ Todd Williamson/Getty Images]
By:John Nolte April 11, 2017

Although the incident happened in Chicago and President Trump was in Washington DC at the time (or so we are told!), "Star Trek" star John Cho still blamed Trump for the now infamous spectacle that unfurled Monday involving a passenger being physically dragged off an overbooked United Airlines flight.

"It's hard not to see a connection between the environment Trump has created and what happened on that @united flight," Cho tweeted.

One wonders what "environment" Cho, who plays Sulu in the faltering "Star Trek" film franchise, is referring to.

Almost all of the violence surrounding Trump over the last 18 months has been committed by the Left and fomented and encouraged by media outlets like CNN. And there is just no question that the Left has cornered the market when it comes to using violence, threats of violence, force and coercion to violate the rights of law-abiding citizens.

According to various news reports, the passenger forced off the plane, and apparently injured, is Asian. If Cho is referring to hostility against Asians, it is well documented that all of that racial animus comes from the Left.

As far as big business treating their customers like meat, Democrats have been the Party of big business for decades now.

Cho might have some inside information we are unaware of; he might possess a recording of President Trump on the phone with United demanding they "Get the Asian!"

But as of now, Cho has not produced this recording. We will update this post as needed.

REPORT: Obama Administration Obtained FISA Warrant To Surveil Trump Advisor in 2016

Posted Wednesday, April 12th 2017 @ 9am by Hannity.com Staff

The Federal Bureau of Investigations sought and obtained a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) warrant on Carter Page, according to a report from The Washington Post. The report states that the FBI got the warrant in the Summer of 2016, while Page was still associated with the Trump campaign.

The Washington Post reports:

The FBI obtained a secret court order last summer to monitor the communications of an adviser to presidential candidate Donald Trump, part of an investigation into possible links between Russia and the campaign, law enforcement and other U.S. officials said.

The FBI and the Justice Department obtained the warrant targeting Carter Page’s communications after convincing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge that there was probable cause to believe Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power, in this case Russia, according to the officials.

This is the first time we're learning that an intelligence agency directly surveilled a member of the Trump team.

Page maintains that he has done nothing wrong, and called the surveillance unjust and "politically motivated."

"This confirms all of my suspicions about unjustified, politically motivated government surveillance," Page told the Washington Post on Tuesday. "I have nothing to hide."

There's no indication of what, if anything, the FBI learned from their surveillance. It is, however, telling that almost a year later no charges have been brought against Mr. Page, or anyone associated with the Trump campaign.

CORRUPTION
(Gateway Pundit) – Judge Napolitano appeared on Fox News to give us his expert opinion on what we may see play out with the Susan Rice unmasking scandal.

Judge Nap said:

“I think the Trump administration is so furious, they will lay a trap for her and see in she will fall into it.”

“If you are under oath, as you will be, then there’s two potential crimes. Lying under oath and misleading,” he continued. “She has a track record of misleading. Serious, public misleading.”


Judge Nap also noted that given the multiple ways Congressman Trey Gowdy could “trap” her if cross-examined before the House Intelligence Committee, Susan Rice could very well end up in jail.

Napolitano also said that Gowdy is “probably going to try and trap” Rice into “misleading Congress.”

China bans North Korean coal, makes bold move with U.S.



by Jill Cueni-Cohen/ April 12, 2017/ WORLD
Coal Industry 1

In a show of solidarity with the U.S. against North Korea, China has stopped buying coal from the communist regime after last week’s missile test. Now, they’re importing more coal from the United States.

This decision comes after President Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida last week, where the administration said North Korea’s missile tests would be a top priority in the talks, according to a report in the Washington Examiner.

On Tuesday, it was reported that “China’s customs department ordered all companies that receive imports from North Korea to immediately return all coal cargoes, according to three trading sources who saw the order. The order was sent by the Chinese government on April 7, soon after Trump and Xi concluded their discussions.”

This is great news for U.S. coal producers and follows through on another of the president’s campaign promises to beef up the coal industry.

“Trump said he’d be good for coal, and I don’t think he meant N. Korean coal,” stated Luke Popovich, spokesman for the National Mining Association.

The government’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicted on Tuesday that coal consumption in the U.S. is expected to continue growing throughout the summer, which is expected to be a cool one this year.

According to acting EIA Administrator Howard Gruenspecht, “U.S. coal production is expected to rise this year, due in part to expected higher coal-fired electricity generation. And the amount of electricity generated from natural gas this summer is forecast to be lower than last summer, reflecting higher natural gas prices.”

Coal has made a comeback in recent weeks after being displaced by natural gas in the past several years.




BREAKING : China Cuts Off North Korea, Buys Coal from the USA Instead
Breaking News By Eren Moreno April 12, 2017

WOW! “The Art of the Deal” in action.

China has cut off North Korea’s shipments of coal due to last week’s missile test.

They have made up the shortfall by importing more coal from the United States.

Amazing what ONE MEETING with President Trump can do.

Obama could not have accomplished this in 8 years.

From The Washington Examiner

The news comes just days after President Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where the administration said North Korea’s missile tests would be a top priority in the talks.

Reuters first reported Tuesday that China’s customs department ordered all companies that receive imports from North Korea to immediately return all coal cargoes, according to three trading sources who saw the order. The order was sent by the Chinese government on April 7, soon after Trump and Xi concluded their discussions.

The decision will be a boon for U.S. coal producers as China has ramped up orders of U.S. coking coal used in making steel, Reuters reported. The increase in U.S. coal imports fits nicely with Trump’s pro-fossil fuel agenda to put miners in coal country back to work.

“Trump said he’d be good for coal, and I don’t think he meant N. Korean coal,” Luke Popovich, spokesman for the National Mining Association, said in an email to the Washington Examiner.

Some Notre Dame Students 'Feel Unsafe' With Pence as Commencement Speaker

Vice President Mike Pence’s scheduled commencement speech at the University of Notre Dame has prompted a protest by senior students who say that Pence's presence on campus will make them "feel unsafe."

Students Immane Mondane and Jourdyhn Williams have started a #NotMyCommencementSpeaker campaign against Pence's May 21 address.

The campaign consists of students holding white boards featuring quotes from Pence that are "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, offensive, or ostracizing" to members of the Notre Dame community.



Two seniors encouraged their fellow students to share messages about why Pence makes them feel unsafe written out on white boards, photographed, and posted via Facebook and Twitter.

The Facebook page explanation for the protest reads:

We are inviting all those who would like to participate to take photos, holding a white board in your hands with direct quotes from Pence that are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, offensive, or ostracizing to members of our community. You may also write why you feel unsafe with the presence of Mike Pence on our campus. All Seniors and those graduating this may are invited to use the hashtag #NotMyCommencementSpeaker and everyone else is invited to use the hashtag #NotMyVicePresident. We will meet in front of Main Building (at the statue) and take photos this week on the following days and their corresponding times:

“For me personally, [Pence] represents the larger Trump administration,” Imanne Mondane, one of the students behind the campaign, told The Observer, a student-run newspaper. “His administration represents something, and for many people on our campus, it makes them feel unsafe to have someone who openly is offensive but also demeaning of their humanity and of their life and of their identity.”

Senior Jourdyhn Williams, another student involved in the protest, said she thinks it “goes against certain Catholic Social Teaching,” to invite Pence, a conservative Christian, on campus.

it does seem apparent that these college educated soon to be graduates can follow
most directions fairly well

The Sheriff that replaced Joe Arpaio is releasing an average of 400 "criminal illegal aliens" every 10 days!
Arizona Sheriff Releasing 400 “Criminal Illegal Immigrants” Every 10 Days - Judicial Watch
judicialwatch.org


FEBRUARY 22, 2017

An average of 400 “criminal illegal immigrants” are being released every 10 days by the newly elected sheriff in Arizona’s most populous county, federal law enforcement sources tell Judicial Watch, many of them violent offenders. It’s part of Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone’s new policy to protect illegal aliens, even those who have committed serious state crimes, from deportation. Under a longtime partnership between the county and the feds, the Phoenix field office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was notified when “aliens unlawfully present with additional Arizona charges” were released from the Maricopa County Jail, which is one of the nation’s largest with a population of about 8,000. That ended when Penzone, who refers to illegal immigrants as “guests,” took office this year and, though he formally announced the change last week, it was put into practice much earlier.

During a recent 10-day period, more than 400 criminal illegal immigrants were released from the Maricopa County Jail, according to federal law enforcement officials directly involved in the process in Phoenix. Weekdays are the busiest, with an average of about 40 criminal illegal aliens getting released from Maricopa County Jail facilities, the sources said. On weekends the number drops to about ten each day. The illegal aliens have state criminal charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, driving under the influence and drug offenses. “There’s no telling how many criminals he’s (Sheriff Penzone) putting on the streets,” said a high-ranking federal law enforcement official stationed in Arizona. Judicial Watch’s calls to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office were not returned.

Before the new sheriff changed the system, ICE would send a wagon every 12 hours to pick up criminal illegal aliens scheduled to be released from the main jail in Maricopa County. Under the new policy, Maricopa County officials are not giving ICE “any notification at all of the release of criminal illegals,” according to an agency official in Phoenix who’s not authorized to talk and can’t be identified. Without cooperation from county authorities, federal agents would have to stand at the door to the jail 24 hours a day and guess which prisoner should be deported, sources said. “We can’t stand out there and question everyone that walks out of that jail,” said a federal agent directly involved in the matter. “Even if we did, we would have to make arrests on the street, in the middle of protestors, families and picketers and that will only heighten the danger to agents.”

When Penzone announced the new policy at a press conference last week, ICE issued a statement calling it an “immediate, dangerous change.” The agency’s Phoenix director for enforcement and removal operations, Enrique Lucero, was quoted in local media saying: “Immigration detainers have been a successful enforcement tool to prevent the release of dangerous criminals to our streets and mitigate the possibility of future crimes being committed against the residents of our communities.” Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to obtain specific figures and pertinent information related to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s policies involving criminal illegal aliens. “This is as bad as it gets,” said one federal officer.

Just this month an illegal immigrant released from the Denver County Jail in Colorado was arrested for murder. The Mexican national, Ever Valles, was released into the community in December even though he was a “known gang member” with a lengthy and violent criminal history. The 19-year-old gangbanger was arrested in October on multiple charges, including possession of a weapon and vehicle theft, and was flagged by ICE for removal. Instead, Denver County officials released Valles without notifying ICE and this month he was arrested and charged with shooting a man to death during a robbery at a rail station in Denver.

PUBLIC UNIVERSITY Holds Islam Awareness Week Complete With Prayer Lesson…When Is Christian Week?
By 100% FED Up -
Apr 13, 2017



What’s up with our colleges? NC State is a public university that’s gone completely over the pc line with Hijab Day in February and now this! Muslim Awareness Week, really? When is Christian Awareness Week?

Pushing Islam with a prayer service on campus is outrageous!

Here’s what one Muslim student had to say:

“It’s part of my daily life, and without it, I might die. It has a major effect on my soul and my body.”

REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A PUBLIC UNIVERSITY!

As Islam Awareness week comes to a close, the Muslim Student Association put on its fourth event of the week. Students, staff and faculty gathered together to celebrate around food and culture at the “Taste of Islam” banquet Thursday evening in the Briscoe Student Activity Room.

Fundraising Chair junior Arisa Hussain, one of the main coordinators and organizers for this event, said the organization did something similar last year but this was the first year MSA organized this large of a banquet.

“This is the first year that we’re doing something of this scale,” Hussain said. “Last year we had a fastathon. But this year we had a little bit of a different idea to kind of showcase the different cuisines and stuff from Muslims around the world.”


COMMENT:
Arafat • 13 days ago

Bringing other religions down to the level of Islam is a favorite tactic of apologists confronted with the spectacle of Islamic violence. Remember Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber? How about Anders Breivik, the Norwegian killer? Why pick on Islam if other religions have the same problems?

The Truth:

Because they don’t.

Regardless of what his birth certificate may or may not have said, Timothy McVeigh was not a religious man (in fact, he stated explicitly that he was agnostic and that "science" was his religion). At no time did he credit his deeds to religion, quote Bible verses, or claim that he killed for Jesus. His motives are very well documented through interviews and research. God is never mentioned.

The so-called “members of other faiths” alluded to by Muslims are nearly always just nominal members who have no active involvement. They are neither inspired by, nor do they credit religion as Muslim terrorists do - and this is what makes it a very different matter.

Islam is associated with Islamic terrorism because that is the association that the terrorists themselves choose to make.

Muslims who compare crime committed by people who happen to be nominal members of other religions to religious terror committed explicitly in the name of Islam are comparing apples to oranges.

Yes, some of the abortion clinic bombers were religious, but consider the scope of the problem. There have been six deadly attacks over a 36 year period in the U.S. Eight people died. This is an average of one death every 4.5 years.

By contrast, Islamic terrorists staged nearly ten thousand deadly attacks in just the six years following September 11th, 2001. If one goes back to 1971, when Muslim armies in Bangladesh began the mass slaughter of Hindus, through the years of Jihad in the Sudan, Kashmir and Algeria, and the present-day Sunni-Shia violence in Iraq, the number of innocents killed in the name of Islam probably exceeds five million over this same period.

Anders Breivik, who murdered 77 innocents in a lone rampage on July 22nd, 2011, was originally misidentified as a "Christian fundamentalist" by the police. In fact, the killings were later determined to be politically motivated. He also left behind a detailed 1500 page manifesto in which he stated that he is not religious, does not know if God exists, and prefers a secular state to a theocracy. Needless to say, he does not quote any Bible verses in support of his killing spree, nor did he shout "praise the Lord" as he picked people off.

In the last ten years, there have been perhaps a few dozen attacks in which death occurred by people motivated by a religion other than Islam (see GTD). Such a small handful of loners acting in isolation can legitimately be chalked up to mental illness or (at best) genuine misunderstanding.

By contrast, Islamic terror is organized and methodical. Islamist groups span the globe with tens of thousands of dedicated members, despite intensely targeted counter-measures, and supporters numbering in the tens of millions. They are open about their religious goals and they kill in the name of god each and every day of the year. Verses in their holy texts arguably support them. There are none who will even debate them.

No other religion is doing this. So while some Muslims may pretend that other religions are just as prone to "misinterpretation" as is their “perfect” one, reality says otherwise.

Russia’s Chechnya Denies Report on Gay ‘Prison Camps’: Gay Chechens ‘Just Don’t Exist’
Police detain a gay rights activist during May Day demonstration in Saint Petersburg, Russia, 01 may 2016

by Edwin Mora11 Apr 2017

“More than 100 men” confirmed or suspected of being homosexual in the overwhelmingly Muslim Republic of Chechnya, an autonomous province within the Russian Federation, have been sent to a “concentration camp” where they are being tortured and killed, report various news outlets, citing the independent Moscow-based newspaper Novaya Gazeta and LGBT community activists.

“In Chechnya, the command was given for a ‘prophylactic sweep’ and it went as far as real murders,” reports the independent Russian opposition newspaper.

Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov, a key ally of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, reportedly ordered the crackdown, a claim that his administration denies.

“You cannot arrest or repress people who just don’t exist in the republic,” Kadyrov spokesman Alvi Karimov told the Russian news agency Interfax.

“If such people existed in Chechnya, law enforcement would not have to worry about them since their own relatives would have sent them to where they could never return,” added the official from the administration of President Kadyrov, who introduced Islamic rule to Chechnya.

Novaya Gazeta notes that its report on the “mass detentions” of gay men in the Muslim-majority region has been confirmed by various sources, including officials from the autonomous region’s government and top law enforcement agency — the Federal Security Service (FSB).

According to the newspaper, “more than 100” gay men in Chechnya have already been detained at several camps where the prisoners are tortured, killed, or forced to promise to leave the Russian province.

Torture involves homosexuals being beaten several times a day, electrocuted, and forced to sit on bottles, reports Novaya Gazeta.

At least three homosexuals have been killed, it also notes, adding, “Our sources say that there are many more victims.”

The age of the homosexual victims ranges from as young as 16 to men in their 50s.

Novaya Gazeta reveals that authorities are finding the gay men with the help of relatives and even real estate agents who are likely “forced to put cameras in apartments and in this way get dirt on the victims.”

It adds that “honor killings,” described as “a measure that allows family members to wash away shame by killing the culprit of this shame,” remains widespread in Chechnya as in many other predominantly Muslim areas.

Tanya Lokshina, an official from Human Rights Watch in Moscow, told Daily Mail, “It is difficult to overstate just how vulnerable LGBT people are in Chechnya, where homophobia is intense and rampant. LGBT people are in danger not only of persecution by the authorities but also of falling victim to ‘honor killings’ by their own relatives for tarnishing family honor.”

While some English-language new agencies report that the gay men are being sent to a “concentration camp,” Novaya Gazeta says they authorities are holding them in various prison camps.

“Chechnya has opened the first concentration camp for homosexuals since Hitler, where campaigners say gay men are being tortured with electric shocks and beaten to death,” reports Daily Mail.

Some victims have managed to survive the brutal ordeal.

“Those who have escaped said they are detained in the same room and people are kept altogether [sic], around 30 or 40,” declared Svetlana Zakharova of the Russian LGBT Network told Daily Mail. “They are tortured with electric currents and heavily beaten, sometimes to death.”

Various pro-gay groups are reportedly trying to evacuate LGBT Chechens.

Human rights group Amnesty International has urged the Russia to investigate the allegations.

“Homosexuals in Chechnya are treated very harshly and prosecuted daily and they are afraid to talk about it,” Alexander Artemyev from Amnesty International in Russia told Daily Mail.

“They either have to hide or leave the republic,” also said Artemyev.

Consistent with the Islamic rules employed in many Muslim-majority countries, coming out as a homosexual is “tantamount to a death sentence” in the predominantly Muslim Republic of Chechnya, points out Novaya Gazeta.

Chechen President Kadyrov introduced Islamic rule in the region, notes Daily Mail.

Shariah law, the strict Islamic rules that govern all aspects of Muslim life, calls for the execution of people who engage in homosexual acts. The mandate is deeply ingrained in Shariah law and has been affirmed by various Muslim scholars. Shariah law draws on the Quran.

Out fear of being detained, some Chechen gay men shut down their social media accounts. Meanwhile, others took to the internet to warn other homosexuals about the threat despite the risk, notes Novaya Gazeta.

The New York Times reports that authorities use social media to lure gay men into dates and arrest them.

Chechen authorities have imprisoned gay men from all corners of the region’s society including “prominent, influential and [Muslim] religious leaders close to the head of the republic, as well as two well-known Chechen TV personalities,” reports Novaya Gazeta.

MARYLAND COUNCILWOMAN Who Struggles To Formulate Coherent Sentence Calls Trump “RETARDED”…Compares Him To Kids At Disability Center
By 100% FED Up -
Apr 11, 2017

A Maryland councilwoman who can’t form a coherent sentence on Facebook claimed that President Trump is “retarded” and compared him to developmentally challenged kids in a local facility on Facebook. She has since deleted the post.

Salisbury City Councilwoman April Jackson posted a Facebook status last Thursday proclaiming that President Trump is “RETARDED.”

“Ya’lls President is RETARDED…..He’s far pass the Holly Center,” Jackson wrote on her Facebook page.

For those that don’t know, the referenced Holly Center “is a state-operated, 24-hour residential training facility for individuals with developmental disabilities.”

That’s right. Jackson not only called the President of the United States “retarded,” she then made it worse by comparing Trump to a facility where mentally disabled or challenged people try to make their lives better.

Here’s the original deleted post:


ya'lls

Meanwhile, the woman who calls President Trump “RETARDED” appears to struggle when it comes to putting a complete sentence together on many of her Facebook posts:






Anyone else notice that Jackson either “liked,” “laughed” or “loved” her own post? Pathetic.

Not to be outdone, Jackson commented on the controversy surrounding her comments, and as far as I can tell, she apologized for nothing. Watch below:

Local news station WBOC-TV 16 tried to contact Jackson to ask her about her post on Facebook. Not surprisingly, Jackson didn’t respond.

US drops 'mother of all bombs'

The MOAB is known as the 'mother of all bombs'
The target was ISIS tunnels and personnel
Washington (CNN)The US military has dropped an enormous bomb in Afghanistan, according to four US military officials with direct knowledge of the mission.
A GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb, nicknamed MOAB, was dropped at 7 p.m. local time Thursday, the sources said.
The MOAB is also known as the "mother of all bombs." A MOAB is a 21,600-pound, GPS-guided munition that is America's most powerful non-nuclear bomb.

The bomb was dropped by an MC-130 aircraft, operated by Air Force Special Operations Command, according to the military sources.
They said the target was an ISIS tunnel and cave complex as well as personnel in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province.
The military is currently assessing the damage. Gen. John Nicholson, commander of US forces in Afghanistan, signed off on the use of the bomb, according to the sources. Authority had to be sought from Gen. Joseph Votel, commander of US Central Command.
This is the first time a MOAB has been used in the battlefield, according to the US officials. This munition was developed during the Iraq War.

Hillary Clinton to Receive Planned Parenthood’s ‘Champion of the Century’ Award
AP/Steven Senne

by Dr. Susan Berry11 Apr 2017

Planned Parenthood Federation of America has announced that Hillary Clinton will receive its “Champion of the Century” award “for her 40 years of service to women and girls in this country.”

Clinton will receive the award in New York City on May 2 at a “once-in-a-lifetime Gala, 100 Years Strong,” an event that continues the abortion business’s centennial celebration.

Planned Parenthood endorsed Clinton in the 2016 Democrat primary and election. In turn, Clinton referred to the abortion industry giant as her “Planned Parenthood family” when she gave her first address after clinching her party’s nomination.

“I know that for a century Planned Parenthood has worked to make sure that women, men, young people who count on you can lead their best lives healthy, safe and free to follow their dreams,” Clinton said to the organization, vowing, “I will always have your back.”

Clinton also ran on taxpayer funding of abortion on demand with her statement, “Let’s repeal laws like the Hyde Amendment that make it nearly impossible for low-income women, disproportionately women of color” to obtain abortions.

“Defending women’s health means defending access to abortion,” Clinton said, “not just in theory, but in reality.”

Planned Parenthood will also honor Shonda Rhimes, the creator of ABC’s Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy, and How to Get Away with Murder, with the “Champion of Change” award, “for revolutionizing the way women and issues of reproductive health — including safe, legal abortion — are portrayed on television.”

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards recently invited Rhimes to join the group’s national board.

In November of 2015, Rhimes’s Scandal character Olivia Pope underwent an abortion while the Christmas hymn Silent Night played in the background. Following the abortion, Pope returned to the White House, where she sipped wine as the classic Ave Maria played in the background.

Media Research Center called the Scandal episode “an hour-long advertisement for Planned Parenthood.”

“We’re proud to celebrate Planned Parenthood’s 100 years of strength and resilience at this moment in our history, as well as the tremendous outpouring of support for Planned Parenthood and our patients,” Richards said in a statement. “This Gala is a powerful reminder that Planned Parenthood has been around for 100 years and will continue to be here for the people who rely on us, no matter what.”

The organization says it expects more than 1,000 supporters for the gala event that will also feature an art auction.

“She Was Visibly, Unflinchingly Pissed”, Hillary Campaign Workers Expose What She Did To Them
by Donald April 13, 2017 6:52 am

Clinton campaign plagued by bickering
By Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes - 04/12/17 06:00 AM EDT

The following is an excerpt adapted from “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign,” which will be released on April 18. Copyright © 2017 by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes. Published by Crown, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House, LLC.

‘We Got An Ass-Chewing’

Hillary was so mad she couldn’t think straight. She was supposed to be focused on the prep session for that night’s Univision debate in Miami, but a potent mix of exhaustion and exasperation bubbled up inside.

She’d been humiliated in the Michigan primary the night before, a loss that not only robbed her of a prime opportunity to put Bernie Sanders down for good but also exposed several of her weaknesses. How could she have been left so vulnerable? She knew — or at least she thought she did. The blame belonged to her campaign team, she believed, for failing to hone her message, energize important constituencies and take care of business in getting voters to the polls. And now, Jake Sullivan, her de facto chief strategist, was giving her lip about the last answer she’d delivered in the prep session.

“That’s not very good,” Sullivan corrected.

“Really?” Hillary snapped back.

The room fell silent.

“Why don’t you do it?”

The comment was pointed and sarcastic, but she meant it. So for the next 30 minutes, there he was, pretending to be Hillary while she critiqued his performance.

Every time the Yale lawyer and former high school debate champ opened his mouth, Hillary cut him off. “That isn’t very good,” she’d say. “You can do better.” Then she’d hammer him with a Bernie line.

It wasn’t just Sullivan in her crosshairs. She let everyone on her team have it that day. “We haven’t made our case,” she fumed. “We haven’t framed the choice. We haven’t done the politics.”

“She was visibly, unflinchingly pissed off at us as a group,” said one aide who was in the room for the humiliating scene. “And she let us know she felt that way.”

Hillary had been up into the wee hours the night before, agitating over her loss. This is because we made poor choices about where we traveled, she thought. She emailed Robby Mook to tell him she believed she’d spent too much time in the cities of Detroit and Flint and not enough in the working-class white suburbs around them. Sensing just how angry she was, Mook responded by putting together a morning conference call so that Hillary could vent. But that didn’t settle her; if anything, it left her more perplexed and angry, as her debate-prep team witnessed firsthand.

Her aides took the browbeating — one of several she delivered in person and on the phone that day — in silence. They had a lot of their own thoughts on what went wrong, some of which echoed Hillary’s assessment: her message was off for Michigan, and she had refused to go hard against trade; Mook had pinched pennies and failed to put organizers on the ground; the polling and analytics were a touch too rosy, meaning the campaign didn’t know Bernie was ahead; she had set up an ambiguous decisionmaking structure on the campaign; and she’d focused too heavily on black and brown voters at the expense of competing for the whites who had formed her base in 2008. The list went on and on.

The underlying truth — the one that many didn’t want to admit to themselves — was the person ultimately responsible for these decisions, the one whose name was on the ticket, hadn’t corrected these problems, all of which had been brought to her attention before primary day. She’d stuck with the plan, and it had cost her.

While the campaign projected a ­drama-free tenor, it was reminiscent of other moments of frustration.

Months earlier, Hillary Clinton turned her fury on her consultants and campaign aides, blaming them for a failure to focus the media on her platform.

In her ear the whole time, spurring her on to cast blame on others and never admit to anything, was her husband. Neither Clinton could accept the simple fact that Hillary had hamstrung her own campaign and dealt the most serious blow to her own presidential aspirations.

That state of denial would become more obvious than ever to her top aides and consultants during one conference call in the thick of the public discussion of her server. Joel Benenson, Mandy Grunwald, Jim Margolis, John Anzalone, John Podesta, Mook, Huma Abedin and Dan Schwerin were among the small coterie who huddled in Abedin’s mostly bare corner office overlooking the East River at the campaign’s Brooklyn headquarters. Hillary and Bill, who rarely visited, joined them by phone.

Hillary’s severe, controlled voice crackled through the line first. It carried the sound of a disappointed teacher or mother delivering a lecture before a whipping. That back end was left to Bill, who lashed out with abandon. Eyes cast downward, stomachs turning — both from the scare tactics and from their own revulsion at being chastised for Hillary’s failures — Hillary’s talented and accomplished team of professionals and loyalists simply took it. There was no arguing with Bill Clinton.

You haven’t buried this thing, the ruddy-cheeked former president rasped. You haven’t figured out how to get Hillary’s core message to the voters. This has been dragging on for months, he thundered, and nothing you’ve done has made a damn bit of difference. Voters want to hear about Hillary’s plans for the economy, and you’re not making that happen. Now, do your damn jobs.

“We got an ass-chewing,” one of the participants recalled months later.

Hillary came back on the line to close the lecture. It was hard to tell what was worse — getting hollered at by Bill or getting scolded by the stern and self-righteous Hillary. Neither was pleasant. You heard him, she admonished. “Get it straight.”

House GOP to File Criminal Charges Against Lois Lerner in IRS Scandal

Rep. Roskam: The Obama Administration was very lenient with the crimes that Lois Lerner committed. And those are strong words that I’m using but the House Ways and Means Committee voted out a criminal referral to the Department of Justice which was completely dismissed by the Department of Justice… We think that Lois Lerner did two things wrong. Number one, she denied people due process and equal protection of the law based on their political philosophy. We’re convinced that there is overwhelming evidence to suggest that that’s true. And that’s a felony. Secondly, we suspect that she lied to the Inspector General of the Treasury Department.

Time for some corrections! Chicago Tribune fact-checks costs of Trump travel; CNN hardest hit
Posted at 7:21 am on April 13, 2017 by Greg P.
Fact check: Do Trump's Mar-a-Lago trips really cost $3 million? Here's where that estimate originated: http://trib.in/2o9e5Mt

By now you’ve read — probably countless times — that Donald Trump’s travel budget is so YUGE that it’s “on pace to surpass 8 years of Obama’s travel in 1 year.” Via CNN:

CNN got its estimate for Trump — $21.6M — by taking the cost of a trip Obama took to Palm Beach in 2013 — $3.6M — and multiplying it by 6, the number of times Trump has visited Mar-a-Lago:

Given variations in each trip, estimating the security costs around a presidential trip is difficult. But a 2016 Government Accountability Office report about a four-day trip Obama took to Florida in 2013 — one similar to Trump’s trips — found the total cost to the Secret Service and Coast Guard was $3.6 million.

To date, Trump has spent six weekends — and a total of 21 days — at Mar-A-Lago, his private Palm Beach club. The total estimated costs for those trips are around $21.6 million.

As for Obama’s total — $97M over 8 years — CNN relied on a report from Judicial Watch:

Obama, by contrast, spent just under $97 million on travel in his eight years as president, according to documents reviewed by Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog. These trips included personal trips – including ski trips to Aspen and the Obama’s annual family vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts — and work trips, like a visit to Everglades National Park on Earth Day in 2015.

But, surprise! The Chicago Tribune contacted the author of the 2016 GAO study that CNN used for the $3.6M estimate and he’s says you can’t compare the two trips:

The GAO’s bottom line for that trip, not including regular White House personnel costs as well as some classified expenses, was $3.6 million. But the author of that report, Brian Lepore, says that figure shouldn’t be applied to Trump’s travel.

“It’s hard to substitute one trip for another, even if the destination is the same,” Lepore said. Each time a president travels, the Defense Department must airlift equipment such as the protective limousines, security vehicles and occasionally helicopters from various military bases around the country.

Oh, and CNN left this out of its report — Obama flew to Chicago before flying to Palm Beach:

Another problem with extrapolating from the October 2016 GAO report is that it included a leg from Washington to Chicago, where Obama gave an economic speech before heading to Palm Beach for a long weekend of golf.

Obama was only in Chicago for a few hours, but costs pile up because each destination triggers the need for the Secret Service to prepare and protect the site and the Defense Department to move the equipment involved.

Another significant cost-driver, GAO noted, is the per-hour cost of military aircraft, such as the president’s plane, Air Force One. So it’s not just a matter of slicing off a few hundred thousand dollars to come up with the $3 million estimate.

“If you take out Chicago, that just means the equipment is going to have to come from other bases,” Lepore said. Sometimes that means more money, sometimes less.

Judicial Watch, which CNN also quoted in its article, puts the estimate of Trump’s travel at closer to $1M/visit:

Judicial Watch arrives at its $1 million figure by estimating flight time and typical Secret Service costs, leaving out airlifting equipment such as the presidential limousines. Those costs also aren’t fully included in Judicial Watch’s $96 million total for Obama.

Time for some corrections, people.

University’s LGBT Students ‘Fear’ Arrival Of Chick-fil-A

Some students at Pittsburgh’s Duquesne University live in “fear” of the arrival of a Chick-fil-A fast-food restaurant to their college’s food fair, Campus Reform reports.

It’s not about the chicken sandwiches but the fact that the corporation had the temerity to support traditional marriage during the same-sex marriage debate.

Now student senators at the university say they can’t abide a Chick-fil-A location at their school and are trying to cancel plans for the restaurant to open in the fall.

Chick-fil-A has been the subject of chickophobic protests from gay-friendly politicians and liberal activists everywhere since its president, Dan Cathy, acknowledged that it had donated money to organizations opposed to changing the traditional definition of marriage.

That’s never yesterday’s news to the LGBT crowd. So Duquesne University Student Senator Niko Martini proposed a resolution at the March 26 student government association meeting to stop the arrival of conservative fast food before it’s too late.

“Chick-fil-A has a questionable history on civil rights and human rights,” Martini told The Duquesne Duke. “I think it’s imperative [that] the university chooses to do business with organizations that coincide with the [university’s] mission and expectations they give students regarding diversity and inclusion.’

That resolution failed but the student government did agree to another resolution that would allow for a “vetting process” of the new restaurant.

Martini’s campaign has been embraced by the university’s Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) where Martini is a member of the executive board. The GSA says Chick-fil-A poses a clear and present danger to the group’s “safe place” on campus.

“I’ve tried very hard within the last semester and a half to promote this safe environment for the LGBTQ community. So I fear that with the Chick-fil-A being in Options [an on-campus food fair] that maybe people will feel that safe place is at risk,” GSA president Rachel Coury said.

She suggested it would be a “big deal” if “someone could make a statement to eliminate the fear of being marginalized by having this business on campus.”

Student government president Olivia Erickson did make a big deal of the matter, saying she takes “this concern very seriously,” and is “working on gathering students’ opinions and getting all the facts we can so we can make the best decision.”

Ironically, Chick-fil-A is only coming to Duquesne because a student survey asked for more chicken dinner options on campus.

According to the report: “More than 245 college campuses around the country…have successfully brought Chick-fil-A onto their campuses,” said executive director of auxiliary services Scott Richards. ‘Now, our students will have the opportunity to enjoy the brand on our campus…”

Tillerson smiles as Russian Foreign Minister drops a ‘tactical nuke’ on NBC’s rude Andrea Mitchell
April 13, 2017 | Scott Morefield

Say what you want about Russian Foreign Minster Sergey Lavrov, but the man knows how to deal with the media.

During Lavrov’s Wednesday meeting with U.S Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the American delegation, NBC News reporter Andrea Mitchell can be heard on video shouting a question at the Russian foreign minister’s back.

When she didn’t receive the answer she was looking for, Mitchell tried again.

“Mr. Lavrov,” Mitchell said loudly, “The Russians don’t believe the [U.S.] intelligence [about Syria].”

Without even bothering to turn around, Lavrov publicly chided the NBC reporter for her poor manners.

“Who was bringing you up [as a child]?” Lavrov asked, sounding annoyed. “Who was giving you your manners, you know?”

After the public scolding, Lavrov got down to business with the delegation, refusing to answer Mitchell’s question.

And the best part, Rex Tillerson can be seen from another angle smiling during the rebuke, according to Fox News.

A display in a University of Minnesota residence hall provides an 11-point “checklist” to help students identify their “white privilege.”
Even a self-described "social progressive" student believes the board "crosses the line," calling it "a one-sided affair" that offers no opportunity for productive dialogue.

A display in a University of Minnesota residence hall provides an 11-point “checklist” to help students identify their “white privilege.”

The “White Privilege Checklist,” found hanging in Mark G. Yudof Hall and photographed by a current student, features 11 statements that ostensibly apply exclusively to white people.

“I am not inherently racist because I don't believe in white privilege.” Tweet This

“I can arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time,” the list begins, following up with references to being able to see “people of my color” or “people of my race” in popular culture and discussions of national heritage.

“I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed,” the second item states.

Statement 5 goes on to imply that children of color are not able to learn about their race in the education system, saying white schoolchildren experience privilege through exposure to “curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.”

“I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented,” statement 6 begins, adding that privilege also means finding “the food I grew up with” at the supermarket and encountering “someone who can deal with my hair” at a salon.

“Whether I use checks, credit cards, or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial responsibility,” the next bullet point says.

The list concludes with several items suggesting that white people are privileged because their individual behavior or attributes are not taken to be representative of their race as a whole.

“I am not made acutely aware that my shape, bearing, or body odor will be taken as a reflection on my race,” one such statement reads, followed by, “I can worry about racism without being seen as self-interested or self-seeking” and “I can be late to a meeting without having the lateness reflect on my race.”

Statement 10 addresses a common problem with affirmative action policies, noting that white privilege entails the ability to take a job or enroll in an affirmative action institution “without having my co-workers or peers assume I got it because of my race.”

Evan Christenson, the student who photographed the board, told Campus Reform that he believes the display “attacks the individual and not the idea,” and doesn’t offer opportunities for dialogue about the issue.

“I do believe it crosses the line. When it attacks the individual and not the idea, there is a problem,” Christenson said. “I am not inherently racist because I don't believe in white privilege. I believe there needs to be dialogue on the subject but it needs to more of a give and take and not a one-sided affair.”

Christenson also spoke to a larger “double standard” on campus, pointing out that a Trump mural erected in September was vandalized and offended students were offered emotional counseling, yet the privilege board is displayed proudly in Yudof Hall.

“I still consider myself a social progressive but I am quite frankly appalled by the double standard applied to free speech as of late,” he asserted.

Campus Reform reached out to UMN for comment but did not receive a response by press time.

Is it the Chicken, the fries or buns? Reports indicate that LGBT student advocates at Pittsburgh’s Duquesne University live in “fear” of the arrival of a Chick-fil-A fast-food restaurant to their college’s food fair.

During a meeting between Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Lavrov in Moscow, Mitchell tried to speak over the proceedings and rudely attempted to ask Tillerson a question.

“Mr. Secretary, the Russians don’t believe the intelligence (regarding Syria’s recent chemical attack on its own people). How confident are you, Mr. Secretary …”

It was not the time or place for her to be asking questions, and her behavior clearly represents why so many people question her journalistic integrity.
According to the Washington Examiner, ABC News Moscow correspondent Patrick Reevall then tweeted video footage of the exchange, which clearly showed Mitchell having her “credentials” handed to her.
“Who was bringing you up?” Lavrov said, before following with this epic slam: “Who has given you your manners?”

Of course, this is not the first time Mitchell has received attention for her insufferable antics. Last month she was pretty much forced out of another Tillerson meeting.

Time for her to retire.

Obama, who did not appear to have any Secret Service detail with her, will be completing her internship in a few weeks and heading back to Washington D.C. where her parents, former President Barack Obama and wife Michelle, are residing until Malia’s younger sister Sasha graduates high school at Sidwell Friends School.

She will then head up north to begin her freshman year of college at Harvard.

50-year Army vet fired from Denver Public Schools; transgender student at center of controversy
April 11, 2017 8:21 PM· By Sherrie Peif

UPDATE April 13, 1:45 p.m.: Russell met with human resource staff from Denver Public Schools on Wednesday. He said they told him his remarks were “egregious,” but did not identify which remark. He was also offered the option of resigning over termination to preserve his future employment opportunities.

“This is what the Army does before court-martialing an officer,” Russell said. “I declined.”

Russell’s termination results in about a $40,000 fine based on his separation date and the date he would have retired.

Russell is expecting a written recommendation within the next five working days.

“If I’m reinstated or offered a better outcome, it is ended,” he said. “If he recommends that termination stand, I have the right to a hearing by a paid impartial hearing officer in a trail-like setting, witnesses, attorneys, etc. which is of course what I will do. I told all of them that I feel entitled to reinstatement out of fairness, and the fact that the charges are not proven by their only evidence, the audio recording.”

DENVER — A 50-year Army veteran who until recently was serving as the JROTC instructor at George Washington High School was fired by Denver Public Schools (DPS) in March over what he believes was an issue involving his cadet commander and gender identity.

Retired Lt. Col. John Russell, in fact, says DPS never gave him any specifics about why they terminated him until he pushed the issue.

A Colorado Open Records Request by Complete Colorado asking for Russell’s disciplinary actions was denied.

Will Jones, director of communication for DPS, said in an email: “Deputy General Counsel Michael Hickman shared with me that DPS can only provide verification of employment, with start and end dates and compensation and benefits information but nothing related to discipline.”

Jones confirmed that Russell was employed as a military instructor by DPS for 15 years, from Aug. 24, 2002 to March 27, 2017. He earned $98,000.

Russell was in his role at George Washington from Sept. 2, 2011 to present. He was at East High School for the first nine years.

“The nature of separation or any disciplinary action will not be provided,” Jones said. “DPS considers corrective action part of the personnel file which is exempt under CORA. Please understand that we cannot comment on this personnel matter.”

The denial of Russell’s separation or disciplinary action is a violation of Colorado open records laws that have been interpreted by the courts as recently as last year that only the information required as a condition of employment, such as address, phone number, social security numbers and other such private information is protected as personnel records.

However, Russell, who has retained an attorney, said it involves an incident that occurred just hours before he was handed his walking papers.

Russell, 72, spent 24 years, 5 months and 11 days on active duty for the Army. He retired in 1991. He immediately passed his national teaching certification test and took on a career as a JROTC instructor for the Department of Defense schools in Germany.

After his daughter’s family was transferred to Fort Carson, he moved to Colorado to be closer.

Russell said the circumstances surrounding transgender policies started last spring when the instructors were in the process of selecting the battalion commander for the 2016-17 school year.

The battalion commander oversees the commanders of all five companies (class periods) within George Washington High School as well as maintains its own staff of 10-12 students.

Russell said he and his co-instructors were in the interview process when their lead applicant, a senior this year, made an announcement they didn’t expect.

The girl responded to a question about what she would like to do as commander that she believed would improve her battalion.

The girl told her instructors she was a lesbian and that she believed the drill teams were sexist so she planned to allow students to participate in whatever drill — male or female — they associated with.

Russell said they were fine with that.

“That’s none of our business to challenge that,” he said. “She was clearly superior to the other two candidates in her preparation.”

The instructors selected the girl as their commander and started working with her to fill ranking positions under her.

They then spent the summer of 2016 working on several projects, including the ninth-grade academy, which entailed several activities with incoming ninth-graders at George Washington and two full days of team-building skills at the University Denver.

“She ran that,” he said. “And she did an absolutely superior job of gathering people, getting them into uniform, getting the materials we needed, getting them onto buses and getting them back to George Washington and ready for the next day.”

Russell said the rest of the school year went just as smoothly. The girl became the leader of the girls drill team. Both the boys and girls drill teams were opened to members of the opposite sex, and one male did join the girls team. Additionally, one female student’s request for a male uniform was granted.

Russell said because he answers to both the military and the school district, he sought advice from time to time from both supervisors, but always deferred the final decision to the principal at George Washington, and at no time did there ever appear to be an issue with gay or lesbian students and their role in the JROTC program.

“She had a lot of headway to organize and manage things to get things done,” Russell said.

In December, Russell nominated her for a speaking contest. In February, he nominated her for an advanced promotion to cadet colonel. And in March, he nominated her for the superior cadet medal.

“So all along the way, I elevated this young lady,” he said. “I gave her the praise that was due. And I gave her (criticism) when it was needed, but it was only about her performance. We had a very positive relationship. She was more or less responsible for running the battalion, and I would stand behind in the background with my arms crossed, just watching how things went.”

On March 9, Russell, the other instructors and all the student officers met before school to go over the specifics of an upcoming drill meet. He said as the meeting was breaking up, and as people were walking around the room putting things away, just minutes before the start of the next class, the student commander made an announcement without any prior notification to her teachers.

“The young lady announced, ‘Oh, by the way, from here on out, I want to be called sir, and I want to be referred to as a male because I’m transgender.’ There was a lot of background noise and a lot of people heading to the door.”

Russell said he went right into the next class, which the girl was in, and nothing was said about her announcement.

“We went through the next 90 minutes without literally batting an eye at what she had said,” Russell said.

That night he texted the other instructors and the girl about meeting the next morning to discuss her announcement. He said he wanted to make sure she understood what she was asking for, and get a clearer picture about what she wanted and how she wanted to handle it.

“But obviously, she had the right to do this,” he said. “I just wanted to be clear about how she saw this would work.”

After she asserted she was 18 and wanted to be referred to as a male, Russell ended the meeting and went about his day as planned. He called his boss at DPS, told him what was going on and was told under Army policy, she had to fill out her year as a female.

Russell planned to talk to the principal at George Washington later that day about what his supervisor said when he was called in and placed on administrative leave.

“I was put out of the building and told I was being investigated for an allegation that I had discriminated against a person in a protected class,” Russell said.

On March 27, he was terminated for discriminating against a person in a protected class (a DPS board policy) and violation of Article 26 of the Denver Classroom Teacher’s Association, which was acting unprofessionally to a student.

According to Russell, the student commander recorded their conversation, and on April 6, Russell was finally allowed to hear the recording.

Russell said he does not believe anything in the recording is unprofessional, and he stands behind his comments.

“Listening to the tape reaffirms for me that I said nothing or did nothing that would stand in the way of the girl being who she wanted to be,” Russell said.

“In the JROTC world, we serve two masters, the Army and the school district in which we are employed,” he said. “And it’s safe to say that if it’s a matter of social engineering, the school district policy will be superior. If it’s a matter of money and qualification of an instructor, the school is all too willing to leave that in the hands of the Army.”

Russell is scheduled for a post-termination hearing at DPS offices Wednesday at 2 p.m.

If he disagrees with their findings, he said he is then entitled to impartial hearing with an arbitrator. After that, Russell would need to seek other legal remedies if he still disagrees.

Although Russell had already notified DPS of is intent to retire after this school year, he said he will fight this dismissal as far as needed. He believes he was wrongfully terminated, and this is not how he intends to end his 50-year military career.

“As far as I’m concerned, DPS has to substantiate the charge,” he said. “I do intend, if necessary, to file suit against Denver Public Schools and the young lady.”

Detroit emergency room doctor charged with performing female genital mutilation
By: Josh Landon

Posted:Apr 13 2017 11:16AM CDT

DETROIT (WJBK) - A Northville doctor was charged on Thursday with performing female genital mutilation on minor girls out of a Livonia medical office.

According to the complaint filed in federal court, Dr. Jumana Nagarwala performed the procedure on girls between the ages of 6 and 8 years old. The complaint states that some members of a religion across the world have the procedure done to reduce sexual pleasure and promiscuity.

The federal document claims that children from other states were brought to Dr. Nagarwala to undergo the operations. Two victims from Minnesota stayed at a hotel in Farmington Hills in February. One of the girls is 11 years old and told authorities that they came to the Detroit area for a "special" girls trip, and when they arrived at the hotel she and the other young girl had to go to the doctor because "their tummies hurt."

Detroit emergency room doctor charged with performing female genital mutilation

While at the doctor's office, she said a procedure was done to "get the germs out." She identified Nagarwala as the woman who performed the operation. She also said that she was told not to talk about the procedure.

A doctor in Minnesota performed an examination of the girl pursuant to a search warrant. The doctor said the girl's genitals were not normal and observed scar tissue and healing lacerations.

The other girl, 7, said she got a shot in her upper right thigh. She also told officials that she was told not to talk about what happened. A Minnesota doctor performed an operation and discovered the 7 year old also had her genitals altered.

The younger girl said she left a glove in the medical clinic. This week, a search warrant was executed and the girl's glove - which had her name on it - was found in the clinic.

Child Protective Services and a federal agent interviewed the younger girl's parents on Monday of this week. Her parents said they went to Detroit for a "cleansing" of extra skin.

Through the investigation, officials say they've identified other children who may have had the operation performed on them between 2005 and 2007, including children in Michigan. CPS in Michigan and the FBI interviewed several minor girls about the procedure. Multiple girls all said that the doctor performed the operations on them. Some of the parents also confirmed that happened as well

"Female genital mutilation constitutes a particularly brutal form of violence against women and girls. It is also a serious federal felony in the United States. The practice has no place in modern society and those who perform FGM on minors will be held accountable under federal law," stated Acting United States Attorney Daniel Lemisch.

"According to the complaint, despite her oath to care for her patients, Dr. Nagarwala is alleged to have performed horrifying acts of brutality on the most vulnerable victims," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Blanco. "The Department of Justice is committed to stopping female genital mutilation in this country, and will use the full power of the law to ensure that no girls suffer such physical and emotional abuse."

FGM is described in many ways including as a partial or total removal of the clitoris for nonmedical purposes.

The federal document says the doctor knew that female genital mutilation is illegal. She said she has no knowledge of it being performed by anyone and that she never performed on anyone, including minors.

Nagarwala will have her detention hearing on Monday to see if she is granted bond. Her attorney and prosecutors did not care to comment. The criminal complaint did not make any mention if the parents will face any charges

MEDIA SILENCE: Former Ohio Democratic Mayor Admits To Raping 4 Year-Old

A Democrat has admitted to raping a 4 year-old child, and naturally, the American mainstream media is completely silent!

And he admitted to it in court:

WYTV News reports:

Former Hubbard Mayor Richard Keenan, who now admits to raping a young child, is facing life behind bars.

He was visibly shaken Friday as he changed his plea to guilty on 20 counts of sex crimes, including eight counts of rape. Keenan agreed to a life sentence with the eligibility of parole after ten years.

According to court documents, the abuse began as early as September 2013 when the victim — who Keenan knew — was just 4 years old.

“It gives the victim some closure. Obviously, keeps this young child from having to testify and I think it’s a good result given all the facts and circumstances,” said Assistant Prosecutor Gabe Wildman.

And it gets even more disgusting:

Here’s a video report:
#PEDOGATE - Former Ohio Mayor "Richard Keenan" Pleads Guilty to Raping 4 Year Old
Published on Mar 19, 2017

Former Hubbard mayor, Richard Keenan, 66, plead guilty to eight rape charges and 12 lesser charges last week, for raping and molesting a child over a three-year period, starting when she was only 4 years old, according to Vindy.com.

Former mayor of Hubbard, Ohio (D), Richard Keenan, has plead guilty in court to raping a young child, as President Trump’s vow to the people to stop what he called “human trafficking” pushes further investigations into the elite pedophile ring that has infiltrated Washington D.C. This is an evil and sick epidemic that encompasses politics and elites nationwide.

This is sickening and every network should be covering this.

But he’s a Democrat.

So we get media silence once again. Sad!

Let me put it to you like this dumb f**k...

Most straight guys with common sense don't sit around thinking about homosexuality. Because if someone is or isn't, it doesn't matter one way or the other. Doesn't concern me.

You good conservatives on the other hand...well let's just say that it occupies a little too much of your thought process...it's very strange.

Let that sink in that brick sitting between your ears.

Former top Hillary Clinton aide, Huma Abedin, is ready to tell it all, for $2 million.

nypost.com reports: Huma Abedin is ready to tell all – for a cool $2 million.

The estranged wife of disgraced ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner and former top aide to Hillary Clinton has been meeting over the past few weeks with top literary agents to discuss her writing a book, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Abedin, 40, is seeking as much as $2 million for the book, which would likely detail her husband’s sexting scandal and her role in Clinton’s failed presidential bid, according to the report.

Clinton has reportedly given the green light for the purported book.

The tome “is envisioned as a reflection on how her personal and professional lives collided during the campaign,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Maxine Waters’ Latest Scandal to the Tune of Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars
By S. Noble - April 15, 20170
FacebookTwitterShare


Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), is involved in yet another ethically troubling situation. The Washington Free Beacon is reporting that her daughter Karen Waters and her firm Progressive Connections has been paid over $600K by her mother since 2006.

She was paid nearly $70,000 during the 2016 election cycle alone.

She has done it before. CREW lists Maxine as the most corrupt member of congress n 2005, 2006, and 2009. Waters is one of the few members of Congress with a record of unethical dealings that can compare with Hillary Clinton’s, CREW writes.

This isn’t the first time that Waters has gotten herself into ethical hot water, in fact, it’s happened several different times over the nearly three decades she’s been in Congress.

In 2010, Waters was brought up on three separate charges by her colleagues in the House, even after Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) warned her against getting involved in advocating for a bank in which she had financial interest.

In the midst of a national financial crisis, Waters used her position as a senior member of Congress and member of the House Financial Services Committee to prevail upon Treasury officials to meet with OneUnited Bank. She never disclosed that her husband held stock in the bank.

She benefitted directly by helping OneUnited and if the bank had failed, her husband’s large amount of stock would have been worthless.

Barney Frank had told her not to do it. As it turned out, nothing happened to her. The House Ethics Committee eventually reprimanded her chief of staff, who happens to be her grandson.

She broke several ethics rules that time.

Maxine is an ethically challenged congresswoman.

Easter Day Slaughter: Man Kills Elderly Man On Facebook Live

We are so sorry to hear this kind of news during our beautiful Easter Sunday, tragedy struck today in Cleveland. A black man by the Facebook Name of “Stevie Steve” brutally killed a man live on Facebook.

The Cleveland Police later confirmed the identity of the murderer as Steven Stephens, and a manhunt is currently underway.

Steven goes live on Facebook, and on the shocking stream he drives down the street looking for a victim. He stops his car and says, “Found me somebody I’m going to kill, this guy right here, this old dude,” then he stepped out the car.

Stephens carries his gun and starts talking to the elderly man. He brutally shots him moments later…

See the video:

Cleveland Police Officials held a press conference an hour ago, with their statements:

“Steve Stephens killed an elderly gentleman. I personally give my condolences to the family of the victim,” Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson said.

Then the mayor went on to continue, “We know who Steve Stephens is and he will be eventually caught. He need not to do anymore harm to any innocent people. Whatever concerns or problems that he’s having, we’re here to have a conversation.”

However, the mainstream media is trying to avoid the fact that Steven is a Muslim, and reportedly he regularly visited the Islamic Center in Cleveland.

Stephens also wrote on his Facebook profile that he has killed 15 people, and would not stop until his mother and another woman, Joy Lane contact him.

Here are the details about Steven:

Steve Stephens is approximately 6’1 and weighs about 244 pounds. He has a bald head and a full beard. He was last seen wearing a dark blue and gray or a black striped polo shirt and was driving a white or cream-colored SUV.

If you see him, please IMMEDIATELY call 9-1-1! DO NOT APPROACH!

In the pouring rain, the 23-year-old man pulled a fur-lined hood over his head and stood on the porch of his younger brother’s home in the Douglas Park neighborhood early Sunday, watching police investigate the city’s first homicide of the weekend.

The man said he heard people arguing and throwing bottles at each other about 2:30 a.m. before the shots rang out. He said he went to check on what was happening three doors down but then stopped, retreated back.

“When I noticed the commotion, I headed the other direction,” he said, as he was getting ready to go to work as a truck driver. “There’s a reason for the rain. Only God knew this was going to happen.”

The fatal shooting of Tywan Anderson, 23, in the 1300 block of South Fairfield Avenue, half a block north of Mount Sinai Hospital, marked the only fatality among 28 people who were shot from Saturday to Sunday morning, officials said. Of the people shot, three were teenagers — ages 14, 15 and 17.

Several of the attacks also injured multiple victims as gunmen opened fire on groups of people. Two shootings that occurred in the Chatham and Back of the Yards neighborhoods each injured three people.

Anderson, whose address was not known, was killed in the Douglas Park neighborhood was shot in the head and back and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:57 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.

In the same shooting, a 19-year-old man was shot in the hand and also taken to Mount Sinai, where his condition was stabilized.

The truck driver, who grew up on the same block, said he didn’t know the victims and thought they lived in a different neighborhood. He said he heard rapid-fire shots before police came. Another man who was a DJ at a party on the block said he heard as many as 20 gunshots.

Police had made arrests in incidents in East Ukrainian Village and Lakeview, but none of the others.

In the East Ukrainian Village shooting around 6 a.m., a 32-year-old man was walking in the 1100 block of North Ashland Avenue when someone in a passing car fired shots before fleeing, police said. The man walked into a nearby fire station and was transported to Stroger Hospital in good condition.

Officers nearby saw the shooting and pulled over the driver three blocks away for an arrest in connection with the incident, police said. Officers found a weapon and spent shell casings inside the man's silver SUV.

On Saturday night, two people were shot near 31st Street Beach about 10:30 p.m. as families milled about the popular site.

A 27-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman were sitting near the shoreline about 10:30 p.m. in the 2800 block of South Fort Dearborn Drive when they heard gunshots and realized they were hit, Chicago police said.

The man was struck in the right leg and the woman was struck in the right hand, police said. Both were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition.

HAS HE PAID HIS TAXES YET? George Soros Had Until 2017 To Pay $7 Billion In Taxes After Avoiding IRS!


In 2015 numerous publications including Fox News, Bloomberg, and Forbes reported that George Soros owed billions of dollars in unpaid taxes after finding ways to avoid the IRS.

Fox News reported: George Soros may soon face a monumental tax bill — of nearly $7 billion — after years of playing hard-to-get with the IRS.

Despite Soros having advocated for higher taxes on the wealthy, the liberal billionaire reportedly has delayed paying his own for years thanks to a loophole in U.S. law.

That loophole was closed by Congress in 2008. But before that, Bloomberg reports, Soros used it to defer taxes on client fees. Instead, he reinvested them in his own fund, and they grew tax-free.

Bloomberg, citing Irish regulatory filings, reported that Soros has made $13.3 billion in this way. Factoring in the various tax rates that would apply, one tax expert estimated this would leave Soros with a roughly $6.7 billion bill.

While Soros did not comment on the estimate, Bloomberg reported that Soros deferred his taxes for so many years by reinvesting client fees. While he technically was able to do this for U.S.-based funds, offshore funds were apparently preferred because otherwise clients would face negative tax implications.

The American Lookout did some digging around the internet and could NOT find any articles showing that Soros had paid this massive tax debt.

Forbes reports that Donald Trump has an estimated net worth of $4.5 billion which would mean that George Soros potentially owes more money than Donald Trump is worth.

Paging Rachel Maddow!
