Feminists Need to Know — Islam Kills Women

/1 Comment/in , /by

niqab-154968_960_720I used to be a feminist, but I gave it up so I could speak out for women’s rights. Even before the “intersectional”, “how many genders are there?” lunacy took over, feminism was filled to bursting with types who think men are misogynists who all secretly want to rape us (this despite the fact that men are among the greatest supporters of women’s rights) and a happily married mother is some kind of traitor.

The kind of people, in other words, who nobody in their right mind could possibly get along with.

While I will always speak out for women to maintain our just civil rights, I do want Sharia Watch to spend significantly more time on freedom of speech (we will run an autumn campaign ‘Islam Kills Free Speech’) and the impact of Islam on children, but before I do, I intend to spend the summer doing something very important – informing the ludicrous feminists of today of something they desperately need to know: Islam Kills Women.

Islam Kills Women is a joint effort between Sharia Watch UK and Examine-Islam.org It aims to do one thing and one thing only, show the world just why it is that women are treated so utterly appallingly in every Muslim society on earth.

As well as producing articles from various writers and information packs and videos, I will challenge every feminist organisation in Britain to debate me, so that they can attempt to prove me wrong. When they realise that they cannot do this, I invite them to stand alongside me at the culmination of this campaign – a protest rally to be held outside Parliament on August 20th.

Undocumented Cal State Students Fear Border Patrol’s Participation in Career Fair

/4 Comments/in , /by

Border_Patrol_ATV_IMG_5278Students at the California State University, San Marcos staged a demonstration Thursday protesting the inclusion of Border Patrol representatives at the school’s career fair.

Sociology professor Marisol Clark-Ibanez tweeted a photo Thursday evening showing students holding signs with messages such as “Stop tearing us apart” and “CSUSM: A Safe Space?” in front of the table advertising positions with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), while a uniformed officer records them on a cell phone.

The next day, she sent an open letter to Career Center Director Pamela Wells explaining that, as faculty advisor to the Standing Together As oNe Dream (STAND) student group, she became alarmed upon arriving on campus Thursday morning to find a CBP vehicle and three police cars (all empty) parked near the student union.

“My heart froze because I immediately became concerned for our students’ safety and wellbeing,” she recalls. “When I parked in the parking garage, I texted Julio (STAND president) and let him know what I saw, ask where he was, and if he (and others) were okay.”

After determining that the law enforcement vehicles were on campus for the career fair taking place that day, Julio “gathered students to assemble an impromptu protest to let Border Patrol know their practices in our community were unjust and detrimental,” during which both sides took photos and videos in case the demonstration got out of hand.

CDC Official: Syphilis Rates Among Gay Men Highest Since Before Start of HIV Epidemic

/4 Comments/in , /by

US-CDC-Logo (1)The rate of syphilis infection among homosexual men has increased to a level not seen since the start of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, an official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Capitol Hill Wednesday.

“We’re concerned about our high levels of syphilis among men who have sex with men – really we’re back to the level of disease – burden of disease – in gay men that we were seeing before HIV in this country,” said Gail Bolan, director of the CDC’s Division of STD Prevention.

She was speaking at an event held to lobby for federal funding to fight sexually transmitted diseases in the United States.

A CDC fact sheet on sexually-transmitted disease (STD) surveillance in 2014 refers to a “troubling rise in syphilis infections among men, particularly gay and bisexual men” . . .

“Men who have sex with men (MSM) account for 83 percent of male cases where the sex of the sex partner is known,” the fact sheet states. “Primary and secondary syphilis are the most infectious stages of the disease, and if not adequately treated, can lead to long-term infection, which can cause visual impairment and stroke.” (Read more from “CDC Official: Syphilis Rates Among Gay Men Highest Since Before Start of HIV Epidemic” HERE)

Mainstream Media Rebuffed: Trump Campaign Manager Won’t Be Prosecuted

/2 Comments/in , /by

LewandowksiA Florida prosecutor has decided not to prosecute Donald Trump’s campaign manager for battery after a March run-in with former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, sources with knowledge of the situation told POLITICO.

The decision not to press charges against Corey Lewandowski is scheduled to be announced on Thursday afternoon by Palm Beach County State Attorney David Aronberg.

Fields may still pursue a defamation case against Lewandowski, a source said. . .

Aronberg would not comment, but in a POLITICO interview last week, he pointed out that Jupiter police had a low “probable cause” standard to cite Lewandowski for battery. But the responsibility for moving forward with a full-blown prosecution rested with Aronberg’s office, which had to consider whether a crime occurred and whether they believed a jury of Floridians would prosecute.

Watch: Paul Ryan Just Made Massive Announcement, Reveals Who Should Be Nominee

/8 Comments/in , , /by

25457684202_954e1c78df_bHouse Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., sought to end speculation Tuesday that he will emerge as the eventual Republican presidential nominee.

“Let me be clear: I do not want, nor will I accept, the nomination for our party,” Ryan said, speaking at the Republican National Committee’s headquarters in Washington.

In a direct statement to the delegates who will attend this summer’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ryan said, “I believe you should only choose from a person who has actually participated in the primary. Count me out.”

“I simply believe that if you want to be the nominee — to be the president — you should actually run for it. I chose not to. Therefore, I should not be considered. Period,” he said.

For the past two weeks, pundits and politicians have been spinning scenarios in which Ryan, dubbed a “mirage candidate” by the New York Times, could emerge as a consensus candidate at the convention if the Republicans opposed to front-runner Donald Trump are able to block his efforts to win the convention on the first ballot. Scenarios of an “open” or “brokered” convention call for nominating someone other than either Trump or Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, given the antipathy between the camps of the two leading candidates makes it unlikely one will support the other.

Ryan said he will continue to make public statements, but said they are focused on developing a policy agenda for the party’s eventual nominee in areas such as health care, taxes, poverty and job creation.

If Trump Gets Screwed by the GOP, the Third Party Will Be Bigger Than the GOP Fairly Soon

/33 Comments/in , /by

24854169213_f2afeace89_bDilbert creator Scott Adams, the author and persuasion expert who correctly predicted the rise of Donald Trump, says the Republican party has a choice: strengthen itself with a Trump candidacy or face certain destruction with a contested convention.

In an “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) question-and-answer session, Adams told “The Donald,” Reddit’s community for Trump supporters, that the GOP can only hurt itself if it “screws” with the billionaire frontrunner’s chances of securing the presidential nomination at July’s convention.

“If Trump is nominated, the GOP will grow stronger and become a bigger tent,” Adams wrote. “If Trump is denied after getting the most votes in the first round, the GOP will be done, one way or another.”

In his final post before logging off for the day, he reiterated this point. Asked whether a viable third party could rise, Adams responded, “If Trump gets screwed by the GOP, the third party will be bigger than the GOP fairly soon.”

He suggests the latest news cycle has helped Trump prepare this narrative, especially after the optics of Sen. Ted Cruz winning all of Colorado’s delegates while the public could not vote in a primary or caucus.

Donald Trump Says Republican Rules Are ‘Stacked Against’ Him

/5 Comments/in , /by

525148373_1280x720Donald Trump has claimed that the Republican party’s rules have been deliberately “stacked against” him as part of an establishment scheme to stop him winning the presidential nomination.

He made the accusation in a CNN town hall meeting on Tuesday ahead of next week’s Republican primary in New York which Mr Trump is expected to win easily, despite party grandees openly professing dismay at the prospect of him being the GOP candidate in November’s presidential election . . .

Mr Trump told Anderson Cooper, the CNN moderator, that the award was “very unfair” and happened because party leaders changed the rules to prevent him getting the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination – although he predicted he would still reach that figure, despite the “shenanigans” . . .

He dismissed suggestions that he had lost in Colorado because he was unfamiliar with the rules and that Mr Cruz had a better organisation on the ground.

“”I know the rules very well, but I know it’s stacked against me by the establishment,” he said. “They changed the rules a number of months ago. You know why they changed the rules? Because they saw how I was doing and they didn’t like it.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Says Republican Rules Are ‘Stacked Against’ Him” HERE)

N.C. Governor Signs Order That Clarifies Controversial ‘Gender Identity’ Bill

/5 Comments/in , /by

Public_toilet_in_JapanResponding to criticisms over his state’s controversial new law that voids cities’ anti-discrimination rules protecting members of the LGBT community, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory has issued an executive order that “seeks legislation to reinstate the right to sue in state court for discrimination.”

The law, HB2, spawned a lawsuit by the ACLU and brought cancellations of high-profile events that were planned to take place in North Carolina — everything from a Bruce Springsteen concert to an expansion by PayPal.

The governor said he is acting “to protect the privacy and equality of all North Carolinians,” by both clarifying the law and adding new protections.

“I have come to the conclusion that there is a great deal of misinformation, misinterpretation, confusion, a lot of passion and frankly, selective outrage and hypocrisy, especially against the great state of North Carolina,” McCrory said in a video address Tuesday, citing feedback about the bill.

The North Carolina chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is calling McCrory’s order “a poor effort to save face,” with Acting Executive Director Sarah Preston saying that the governor’s actions “fall far short of correcting the damage done” by the bill. She added that legal protections are still lacking and that “transgender people are still explicitly targeted by being forced to use the wrong restroom.” (Read more from “N.C.

$1.48 Trillion: Government Collects Record-High Taxes in First Half of FY 2016

/1 Comment/in , /by

downloadInflation-adjusted federal tax revenues hit a record $1.48 trillion for the first half of fiscal year 2016, but the federal government still ran a $461 billion deficit during that time, according to the latest monthly Treasury Department statement.

Treasury receipts include tax revenue from individual income taxes, corporate income taxes, social insurance and retirement taxes, unemployment insurance taxes, excise taxes, estate and gift taxes, customs duties, and other miscellaneous items.

In the first half of fiscal 2016, which included the months of October, November, December, January, February, and March, the amount of taxes collected by the federal government outpaced the first half of all previous fiscal years, even after adjusting for inflation. The 2016 fiscal year begins on Oct. 1, 2015, and runs through Sept. 30, 2016.

The federal government collected $1,476,218,000,000 in the first half of fiscal year 2016. Most of the $1.48 trillion came from individual income taxes, which comprised almost half of that total, totaling $675 billion.

The Revolutionary Project to ‘Solve’ Cancer

/2 Comments/in , /by

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERABillionaire Sean Parker, famous for his founding roles at Napster and Facebook, is backing an unconventional $250 million effort to attack cancer that involves persuading hundreds of the country’s top scientists — who often are in competition with each other — to join forces and unify their research targets.

The consortium, which will be formally announced Wednesday, focuses on immunotherapy, a relatively new area of research that seeks to mobilize the body’s own defense systems to fight mutant cancer cells. Many believe it represents the future of cancer therapy.

More than 300 scientists working at 40 labs in six institutions — Stanford, the University of California, San Francisco, and University of California, Los Angeles, the University of Pennsylvania, MD Anderson Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center — have already signed on . . .

He describes the effort as a way to remove obstacles related to bureaucracy and personality that will allow scientists to borrow from each other’s labs unencumbered. The researchers will continue to be based at their home institutions but will receive additional funding and access to other resources, including specialized data scientists and genetic engineering equipment set to become part of the nonprofit Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy in San Francisco.
