A Hot Month for Clinton’s Body Count

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump threatened to kill Hillary Clinton last Tuesday. The Secret Service came to visit him and he’s looking at five years in prison. It’s all conjecture, of course, but that passes for cold, hard evidence this election and that’s because the whole thing is rigged. The media is completely in the tank for Hillary and they neither see, nor hear, nor speak of Hillary’s evil. Hey, guys, if you’re looking for murders, check out anyone who has ever crossed the Clintons. There are about 100 cases where some intern has slept with Bill or some lawyer knew too much or some investigator got too close and boom—he shoots himself in the back of the head at the top of a mountain at four in the morning.

The media cared about the sheer number of cases when 57 women said Bill Cosby raped them. If we brought the Hillary kill list down to 57, you’d be dealing with only the really, really spooky ones. Like the one last month where a DNC staffer, who may very well have supplied Julian Assange with the classified emails that brought massive embarrassment to the party, was shot in the back of the head in the middle of the night.

Seth Rich was talking to his girlfriend on the phone when a gunman came up behind him, shot him to death, and left without taking anything at all. Rich was in a nice neighborhood that I’m told hadn’t had a murder in six years. The Assange link got eye rolls from the left until he personally offered a $20K reward for any information leading to an arrest. A Dutch TV host pressed Julian on this and asked if it was a murder accusation directed at Hillary and the subject quickly died.

The list of victims goes on and on and on, and Google is happy to tell you how serious the accusations are and how tenuous the link is. You’ll likely come across left-wing bias where they pooh-pooh the link, but peel back another layer and it’s only a fraction of a percent less scary than you thought.

Take the case of John Ashe, who was choked by his own barbells in June. The U.N. official was on trial for taking bribes from Chinese billionaire David Ng, a.k.a. Ng Lap Seng. Snopes wants you to know it’s a myth that it had anything to do with Hillary and even my buddy Steve Crowder claims, “He wasn’t going to be testifying against Hillary at any time.” The NY Post disagrees and claims that “the prosecutors would have linked Ashe to the Clinton bagman Ng.” This seems likely as an ABC News story from last year reported on Ng’s multiple visits with the Clintons in 1997 when he was photographed having meetings with them. So Ashe is looking at prison time for dealing with a corrupt billionaire who has a history with Hillary Clinton. He could likely negotiate a leaner sentence if he had some information to impart, but he wouldn’t be able to impart it if his windpipe were crushed by a barbell (who the hell gets killed by their own barbell?).

Alaska Court’s Ruling on Abortion and Parental Notification Hurts Teens

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hillary Kieft grew worried when her daughter didn’t arrive from school on the bus as usual. After she called the school to find out what was wrong, a school nurse pulled into her driveway with the daughter (let’s call her “Kelly”) in tow. The nurse explained that she had taken Kelly for counseling after school, according to LifeNews.com, which reported on the Kieft story.

But, in fact, the nurse took Kelly to have an abortion.

In New Zealand—where the Kieft family lives—it is completely legal for a minor to have an abortion without her parents’ knowledge. Parents like Hillary Kieft have no legal right to be involved in their child’s decision to have an abortion, or even to be notified before it happens.

With her parents still unaware of the abortion, 15-year-old Kelly spiraled into depression, self-harm, and eventually attempted suicide. It was only when Kelly finally told her parents about the abortion that they could begin helping her cope—not only with the abortion, but also with the sad reality that the procedure had caused irreparable damage and she would never be able to become pregnant again.

As a LifeNews.com article about Kelly points out:

The fact that a school needs permission to take your child on a field trip, but not for surgery, is beyond ridiculous. The same teen needs parental consent before getting a tattoo or using a tanning salon … Has abortion really become such a taboo subject that we are willing to just ignore all legal oversights rather than face the wrath of abortion advocates?

Fortunately, in the United States, most states have parental consent or notification laws.

Generally speaking, the law reflects the fact that parents are responsible for the well-being of their children, and are most likely to have their best interests in mind. That’s why parents have to sign waivers for almost any medical care for their children.

But this just changed for Alaskan families, thanks to a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood attacking the state’s parental notification law.

Alaska law required that minors seeking an abortion notify their parents unless they receive approval from a court (known as a judicial bypass). This notification requirement was intended to foster parental involvement in such a life-changing decision.

The state argued that its interests in requiring notification include encouraging parents to be involved in their minor child’s decision whether to have an abortion, protecting the physical and mental health of minors, and preventing sexual abuse.

In a 4-1 decision last month, the Alaska Supreme Court concluded that the state’s notification law violated the Alaska Constitution’s equal protection clause because it drew an unjustified “distinction between pregnant minors seeking to terminate and those seeking to carry to term.”

Essentially, the majority ruled that the law is unfair because it required parental notification for abortion but not for care related to maintaining a healthy pregnancy until birth. It is true that Alaska allows pregnant teens to receive pregnancy-related health care without parental consent; otherwise many young girls might avoid obtaining needed care.

But, Justice Craig Stowers, the lone dissenter, explained, the law “necessarily differentiates between minors seeking an abortion and minors who intend to carry to term” because mandating parental notification before a minor can receive prenatal care may threaten the health of the mother and the growing child. Stowers observed that “no useful purpose is served by … requiring parental consultation for carry-to-term decisions.”

Stowers also wrote that providing parents with an opportunity to discuss the consequences of abortion with their child is both a clearly valid reason for the law, and completely in line with U.S. Supreme Court decisions like Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey (1992).

The law is necessary, he pointed out, to ensure that “the people society holds responsible for her well-being—her parents—will be informed of what is happening in her life.” He noted that previous cases from this very court said that parental notification requirements would further the compelling interest of parental involvement. But the majority now “undermines the parents’ rights and responsibilities in this regard and makes a mockery of its earlier proclamations of the proper and fundamental role parents have traditionally played in their children’s lives,” Stowers writes.

Stowers further noted that the law does not stop a minor from obtaining an abortion against her parents’ will. It only requires that they know, which gives them a chance to exercise their right and responsibility of involvement in their daughter’s life. The law even created an “easily navigable, broad bypass process” that would allow a judge to approve an abortion for the minor without parental notification.

The bottom line is that parents, rather than abortion clinic staff or school nurses, deserve the right to be involved in their minor daughter’s decision whether to terminate her pregnancy. After all, clinics are businesses that do not necessarily prioritize the health and safety of patients over their ability to turn a profit—just look at the conditions of some clinics that were so bad that many states have passed reforms in recent years aimed at increasing the standards at clinics.

As a result of this decision by the Alaska Supreme Court, instead of receiving counsel from their parents, minors may be pressured into making a life-altering decision and forced to hide any emotional or physical struggles from their parents after the fact. Eliminating parental notification is a step in the wrong direction and harms, rather than helps, girls like Kelly.

Texas Judge Victorious Over Atheist Group in Prayer Dispute

/0 Comments/in , /by

Judge Wayne Mack, a justice of the peace in Montgomery County, Texas, recalls several people telling him they were initially worried about coming before his court, but after the chaplain’s prayer opened the proceedings, they felt better.

“It was clear it would be a solemn event and they knew I would be fair,” Mack told The Daily Signal in a phone interview a day after the Texas attorney general’s opinion held that opening court with a chaplain’s prayer and the voluntary chaplain program Mack established were constitutional.

Mack started a voluntary chaplaincy program that has more than 60 clergymen participating, including Christians, Jews, Hindus, and people of other faiths. It openly invites, “all religious leaders of any faith in to participate.”

As a justice of the peace, Mack also serves as the coroner for the Montgomery County. It was in this duty that he first implemented the voluntary chaplain program, after finding himself not always able to console people when he had to be first on the scene for deaths.

In a six-page opinion issued Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton noted the 2014 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the case of Town of Greece v. Galloway, which determined that initiating local government meetings with prayer did not violate the Establishment Clause of the Constitution. The Establishment Clause of the Constitution states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof … ”

Paxton compared Mack’s courtroom with the Town of Greece, New York, writing, “In both instances, religious leaders of any faith are invited to deliver a prayer at the beginning of proceedings.”

“A court would likely conclude that a justice of the peace’s practice of opening daily court proceedings with a prayer by a volunteer chaplain as you describe is sufficiently similar to the facts in Galloway such that the practice does not violate the Establishment Clause,” the opinion reads.

He added, “A court would likely conclude that the volunteer chaplain program you describe, which allows religious leaders to provide counseling to individuals in distress upon request, does not violate the Establishment Clause.”

The Paxton opinion cited lower court rulings on chaplain programs.

“Courts in other jurisdictions have likewise upheld the hiring of chaplains by a county hospital, prisons, and military establishments in order to provide counseling and guidance to individuals who request it,” the opinion said.

It added, “In each of these cases, the chaplains were paid by public funds, creating more significant Establishment Clause concerns than exist here, where the chaplains serve on a voluntary basis without cost to the taxpayer and only upon request of those who wish to receive the chaplain’s assistance.”

The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation isn’t happy with the opinion, but asserts that the matter is likely over because two individuals who regularly appear before the court felt “fearful” about how Mack would judge their case and are not willing to file a suit.

“We are confident that if we could bring this [case] before a federal judge, we could prove this far exceeds precedent, but we can’t do that without a plaintiff willing to challenge Judge Mack,” said Sam Grover, staff attorney for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, in a phone interview with The Daily Signal.

There was never an intent to offend anyone, and whether someone participated in the courtroom prayer would have no affect on the ruling, Mack said.

“I would never use the bench as a pulpit,” he said. “Both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Texas Supreme Court open with prayers.”

The Texas attorney general’s opinion marks a decisive victory for Mack, after getting a mixed victory before the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct, based on the Freedom From Religion Foundation complaint from 2014. The judicial commission dismissed the complaint, but “strongly cautioned” against the chaplain program and prayer.

But the commission ruling that offered neither discipline nor a mandate to stop, led Mack and First Liberty Institute, a religious freedom advocacy group that represents the judge, to seek more clarity. In February, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick asked Paxton to issue a clarifying opinion on the constitutionality of the case.

“The attorney general’s opinion is clear and sound constitutionally,” Mack said. “It emboldens believers of any faith to stand up for the First Amendment because it’s the First Amendment for a reason. The tyranny of political correctness is causing people to step away from their values. They should stand up and be counted.”

The attorney general opinion offers a clear victory, said Kelly Shackelford, president of First Liberty Institute.

“This is a total victory for Judge Mack and for the citizens of Texas,” Shackelford said in a statement. “If the Supreme Courts of the United States and Texas can open with prayer, clearly, the law allows for Judge Mack’s court to open with an invocation by a volunteer chaplain. We are grateful Attorney General Paxton has brought clarity to this important issue, reaffirming the constitutionality of prayer in the public arena.”

However, Grover of the Freedom From Religion Foundation contends that Paxton did not address the group’s main points from a letter sent in April.

“None of the points we raised were addressed. The opinion barely scratches the surface,” Grover said. “This far exceeds the ceremonial acknowledgment of a deity to open of the the Supreme Court or the Texas Supreme Court.”

Grover said merely allowing multiple faiths to participate in the chaplain program doesn’t mean it’s not exclusionary to nonbelievers.

“It makes the violation less severe, but a prayer in any setting, any prayer of any religion leaves out a large segment of nonreligious people,” Grover said. (For more from the author of “Texas Judge Victorious Over Atheist Group in Prayer Dispute” please click HERE)

Talk of an Assassination? Limbaugh Recalls What Clinton and Biden Said in 2008 Race

/0 Comments/in , , /by

While Democrats are busily chastising Donald Trump for calling American gun-owners to action in the upcoming election, Rush Limbaugh has uncovered a rather stunning clip of Hillary Clinton insinuating something far worse back in 2008.

The comments were made in May of that year, while Clinton was discussing her 2008 primary fight against then-Sen. Barack Obama.

Even though Clinton only trailed Obama by roughly 150 pledged delegates at that time, there were some who were saying she should have dropped out of the race and concede the nomination to Obama.

“Between my opponent and some in the media, uh, there has been this urgency to end this. You know, my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of the June,” said Clinton.

“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” Clinton added, which some people at the time took to mean the possibility of an Obama assassination made it practical for her to say in the race.

“What do you think that’s a reference to?” Limbaugh asked Tuesday. “They’re urging her to get out of the race, and Obama’s got an insurmountable lead, and she says, ‘No, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June, and it’s not even June yet! It’s May here. So somebody may be assassinated in June. So I’m staying in!

“I mean, folks, what Trump said yesterday doesn’t even compare, and I doubt that hardly anybody’s aware that Hillary even said this back in 2008. We played the audio; that’s why we got the clip,” he said.

Limbaugh pointed out that another high-profile Democrat has made a reference to people taking his guns that seems to have been forgotten.

“And, by the way, here’s one more from Vice President Bite Me (Biden). September 20th of 2008 — this is before the election — he’s out there in Castlewood, Virginia, at a campaign event and, as part of his remarks, Vice President Bite Me blurted out this,” said Limbaugh, who proceeded to play audio of Joe Biden from 2008.

“I guarantee ya, Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns! So don’t buy that malarkey! Don’t buy that malarkey! They’re gonna start peddlin’ that to ya! I got two! If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem,” said an irate Joe Biden out on the campaign trail.

Biden’s comment seemed to imply a willingness to use lethal force — should the president try to take his guns — and even doubled down on his comments by expressing his proficiency with firearms.

“I like that little over-and-under, you know. I’m not bad with it. So give me a break,” said Biden, waving his hands while shouting.

“OK, now, what is that?” asked Limbaugh. “Well, all that is is a Second Amendment guy. He might have been impersonating one but that’s a Second Amendment guy saying, ‘You’re not taking my guns, dude!’”

“So he’s even alluding to the fact that if Barack Obama comes for his guns, his Beretta is coming out. So who’s Biden talking about shooting here? So you got Biden and you’ve got Hillary both talking about actually shooting somebody, or somebody being shot with guns, something that Trump did not do,” he concluded.

Rioting and Violence in Milwaukee, but for What Reason?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Milwaukee endured its second consecutive night of rioting and turmoil Sunday, following the shooting death of a young black man. “The shooting occurred near the location of an August 9 double homicide in which a man was shot dead and another was fatally stabbed,” the local Fox affiliate reports.

What happened:

Sylville Smith, 23, was shot and killed by a police officer Saturday after he refused to disarm himself and fled from law enforcement. Smith and his passenger were pulled over in a car by police in the late afternoon. While Smith and the other man were being questioned, they fled the vehicle and led the officers on a foot chase in a northern Milwaukee neighborhood. The “handgun, along with 500 rounds of ammunition, were stolen during a burglary in nearby Waukesha in March, police said.

Police body camera footage showed Smith brandishing a handgun during the pursuit. Smith was subsequently shot in the arm and chest after refusing to put the gun down, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said, adding that the gun was loaded with 23 rounds (more than the officer was carrying). The unidentified officer who fatally shot Smith is described as a 24-year-old African-American with six years of service in the Milwaukee Police Department.

Riots:

Just hours following the incident, riots broke out in the city that led to the burning of six local businesses and several cars torched. The Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel reported that a tense standoff between police and angry protesters Saturday night quickly turned violent despite repeated efforts by law enforcement and Mayor Barrett to quell the situation.

Police officers and a squad car were reportedly the targets of bricks rocks and glass bottles. One officer was struck in the head by a brick. All in all, four police officers were injured and 17 protesters arrested Saturday night.

Sunday night and into Monday morning, even more riots broke out on the city’s north side. According to CNN, shots were fired and police continued to be a target of protesters’ debris. The violence forced Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to declare a national emergency, but the National Guard had yet to be deployed Monday.

Why?

Community members are claiming that the violence is a protest against the systematically racist and oppressive police force nationwide. Others simply cite frustration. One rioter even claimed the reason for the riots are that “the rich people have all this money and they not trying to give us none.” (For more from the author of “Rioting and Violence in Milwaukee, but for What Reason?” please click HERE)

FBI to Release Notes From Hillary Clinton Interview

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI will soon release notes from its interview with Hillary Clinton last month regarding her use of a private, unsecured, unauthorized server.

CNN reported that the release of the notes to members of Congress who requested them could happen as early as Monday night.

FBI investigators met with Clinton on July 2 for over three hours, according to Director James Comey. Three days later, Comey announced that the FBI would not be recommending charges against the former secretary of state.

The director revealed in testimony before the House Oversight Committee later that same week that Clinton had not testified under oath and no transcript was available of what she had told investigators.

Comey confirmed that the FBI agents did take notes of the meeting, which House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, formally requested in writing that same day.

Comey was specifically asked by Chaffetz if Clinton lied regarding her private email server.

He responded that she did not lie to the FBI, presumably during her interview. The representative followed up asking if she lied about her server to the American people.

“That’s a question I’m not qualified to answer. I can speak about what she said to the FBI,” Comey replied.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., later questioned the director about specific statements Clinton made, during which Comey made clear that the former secretary of state had not been honest with the American people.

Here is the transcript:

Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails, either sent or received. Was that true?”

Comey: “That’s not true. There were a small number of portion markings on, I think, three of the documents.”

Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said, ‘I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email, there is no classified material.’ Was that true?”

Comey: “There was classified material emailed.”

Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said she used just one device. Was that true?”

Comey: “She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as secretary of state.”

Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said all work-related emails were returned to the State Department. Was that true?”

Comey: “No, we found work-related emails, thousands, that were not returned.”

According to a Bloomberg Politics poll released last week, 58 percent of Americans are bothered by Clinton’s use of an unsecured email server, which is a higher percentage than those upset by her actions regarding the Sept. 11, 2012, Bengahzi attacks (55 percent), or possible public corruption issues in relation to the Clinton Foundation (53 percent).

On Friday, Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, dismissed the email scandal as “the biggest load of bull.”

He claimed that his wife was never intentionally careless with national security and that the various rankings of confidential information were “too complicated.”

When he was president, Clinton was impeached on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice stemming from the Monica Lewinsky affair, though he was ultimately acquitted in the Senate. (For more from the author of “FBI to Release Notes From Hillary Clinton Interview” please click HERE)

Trump Declares ‘End of Nation Building’ in Major Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump delivered a major speech in Youngstown, Ohio, Monday in which he laid out his vision for combating Islamic terrorism.

Citing the various terror attacks that have taken place all over the country in recent years, most notably in Boston, Orlando, and San Bernardino, Trump argued that the Barack Obama presidency has made America less safe. He repeated past criticisms of the president’s refusal to explicitly acknowledge the fundamental role radical Islam has had in each of the attacks.

“Anyone who cannot condemn the hatred, oppression and violence of radical Islam lacks the moral clarity to serve as our president,” Trump said.

Trump condemned the war in Iraq as a project of “nation-building” and simultaneously characterized President Obama’s decision to withdraw troops from Iraq as naïve. He laid the blame for the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria directly at the feet of the Obama administration.

“That failure to establish a new status of forces agreement in Iraq and the election-driven timetable for withdrawal surrendered our gains in the country and led directly to the rise of ISIS,” Trump said. “Without question.”

He signaled a change of strategy from the Trump administration: “If I become president, the era of nation-building will be brought to a very swift and decisive end.”

Trump did not spare Hillary Clinton in his attacks against the Obama administration. He asserted that Clinton does not have the means to combat terrorism in the Oval Office. Further, he claimed she did not have the “moral character” to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

“Hillary Clinton lacks the judgment…stability and temperament and moral character to lead our nation,” Trump said. “She also lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS. And all of the many adversaries that we face.”

Among his policy proposals, Trump called for a strengthening of anti-terrorism efforts — including cooperation with international allies — to defeat ISIS and other radical Islamic groups like al-Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah.

Specifically, Trump called for an “international conference,” partnering with Israel, King Abdullah of Jordan, Egypt, Russia, “and all others who recognize this ideology of death that must be extinguished.” He also said he would “work very closely with NATO on this new mission.”

“We cannot always choose our friends,” he said. “But we can never fail to recognize our enemies.”

A second facet of the plan was a call for “a new immigration policy.”

“That common thread linking the major terrorist attacks on American soil — 9/11, the Fort Hood shooting, the Boston bombing, the san Bernardino attack, the Orlando attack — is that they have been called immigrants or the children of immigrants. Clearly, new screening procedures are needed.”

Trump cited a review by the U.S. Senate Immigration Subcommittee that “identified 380 foreign-born individuals charged with terrorism or terrorism-related offenses.” He called for the establishment of a “clear principle that will govern all decisions pertaining to any immigration,” noting that this principle will be “tough” and that “extreme vetting” is required.

Candidate Trump proposed limiting the issuance of visas to only those who express a willingness to “embrace a tolerant American society,” attacking Hillary Clinton for proposing to increase the flow of Syrian refugees to America.

Trump also called for an end to political correctness “replacing common sense.”

The female San Bernardino shooter was here on a fiancé visa, which most people have not heard of, from Saudi Arabia and wanted to support openly jihad online. So they were taken in. And neighbor saw a surprising behavior … but didn’t warn authorities because they didn’t want to be accused of racial profiling. Now many are dead and many wounded. The shooter in Orlando reportedly celebrated in his classroom after 9/11. He, too, was interviewed by the FBI. His father, native of Afghanistan, supported the oppressive Taliban regime and expressed anti-American views strongly. And by the way, was just seen sitting behind Hillary Clinton with a big fat smile on face all the way through her speech. He obviously liked what she had to say. It is called weakness, it is called stupidity and we have had it.

The Fort Hood shooters delivered a presentation to a room of mental health experts and threw out one red flag after another. He even proclaimed he love death more than you love life. These warning signs were ignored because of political correctness replacing common sense in our society.

To educate the public on radical Islam, Trump proposed the creation of a commission including reform-minded members of the Muslim community “to identify and explain to the American public the core convictions and beliefs of radical Islam. To identify the warning signs of radicalization and expose the networks in our site that support radicalization.”

With regard to Guantanamo Bay and drone strikes against ISIS in the Middle East, both would carry on under a Trump administration. Donald Trump concluded his remarks with a call for immigrants to this country “to accept the virtues and our way of life.”

“Assimilation is not an act of hostility but an expression of compassion,” he said in closing, praising the American system of government and American culture as the best road to “the best outcome for all those who adopt it.” (For more from the author of “Trump Declares ‘End of Nation Building’ in Major Speech” please click HERE)

THE HILL: 5 Things That Can Obliterate Hillary’s Campaign

/0 Comments/in , /by

We’re less than 90 days out from the general election featuring two deeply flawed candidates. In spite of all of Donald Trump’s flaws, Hillary Clinton appears to be circling the drain. The Hill’s Niall Stanage offers up 5 things that could trip her up:

Hillary Clinton shouldn’t start preparing her inaugural address just yet.

There are plenty of things that could trip up her campaign between now and Election Day, even if polls increasingly suggest she is on track to beat Donald Trump in a landslide.

Clinton has a significant advantage in recent polls both nationally and across battleground states. New polls from NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist on Friday put her in a dominant position in states that would be close in a normal election year. In Virginia and Colorado, for instance, Clinton led by 13 and 14 points, respectively.

But those polls came after a brutal stretch for Trump, and the race could tighten significantly heading into the fall.

Still, given the electoral map, Trump probably needs some larger development to change the trajectory of the race. Here are five scenarios that could improve Trump’s chances.

Germany Now Has More Than 1,000 Documented Child Marriages

/0 Comments/in , /by

Germany is struggling to prevent and keep track of the over 1,000 child marriages taking place in the country.

Child marriages have not been an issue in Germany until recent years. The practice is illegal in Germany, but since the country doesn’t recognize “religious marriages,” authorities can’t do anything to stop it in most cases.

German television channel N24 claims the number of child marriages in the country now exceeds 1,000, and that the actual number is believed to be significantly higher.

An anonymous teacher told newspaper Welt am Sonntag that young girls often suddenly stop showing up to school after getting married . . .

“Many observers are afraid this will be a ‘lost generation,’” Alia Al Dalli, SOS Children’s Villages’ international director for the Middle East and North Africa Region, said in June. “Another concern is psychological trauma, as children in war situations often face a very unstable environment of displacement, abuse, trafficking, exploitation and other risks.” (Read more from “Germany Now Has More Than 1,000 Documented Child Marriages” HERE)

Hezbollah Leader Echoes Trump That Obama, Clinton Founded ISIS

/0 Comments/in , /by

The leader of Hezbollah this weekend quoted Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s accusation that President Obama and Trump’s Democratic rival Hillary Clinton founded ISIS.

Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Lebanese militant group, used Trump’s claim last week that Obama and Clinton were behind the extremist group ISIS’s establishment to bolster his criticism of the U.S. administration in a speech in Lebanon on Saturday, according to a transcript posted by the group’s media arm.

“This is not simple speech,” Nasrallah said of Trump’s remarks. “This is an American presidential candidate. This was spoken on behalf of the American Republican Party. He has data and documents.”

Trump said on Wednesday that Obama was “the founder of ISIS” and later expanded the claim to include Clinton. Trump repeated his accusation throughout the next day. He said Friday morning the comment was meant as sarcasm, but later that day qualified that by saying his initial claim was “not that sarcastic.” (Read more from “Hezbollah Leader Echoes Trump That Obama, Clinton Founded ISIS” HERE)
