Bannon to Campaign for Moore in Alabama U.S. Senate Race

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon is set to return to Alabama to campaign for embattled Republican U.S. Senate nominee Roy Moore.

Bannon is expected to appear at a Moore rally next week – as the Dec. 12 election between Moore and Democrat Doug Jones draws closer. The candidates are vying for the Senate seat once occupied by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

The appearance by Bannon would mark a strong show of support for Moore, a candidate engulfed in sexual misconduct allegations . . .

“I look forward to standing with Judge Moore and all of the Alabama deplorables in the fight to elect him to the United States Senate, and send shockwaves to the political media elites,” Bannon told CNN.

It remained unclear what exactly prompted the reversal. Last week, President Donald Trump effectively endorsed Moore, tweeting Sunday: “Can’t let Schumer/Pelosi win this race. Liberal Jones would be BAD!”

MIAMI BITES: Heartstopping Moment Fearsome Tiger Shark Swims Just Feet Away From Oblivious Paddlers

/0 Comments/in , /by

This is the heartstopping moment a large tiger shark swam within touching distance of oblivious beachgoers.

Unsettling drone footage shows the 8ft black predator swimming close to the Miami coastline yet chooses to appear uninterested in nearby swimmers.

At one point the shark unnervingly etches close to two swimmers enjoying a morning swim.

Photographer Kenny Melendez had been capturing scenic shots of the tourist hotspot last Friday when he noticed the 8 ft predator cruising along the Miami coast.

Speaking to GrindTV Melendez said: “I was shocked to see how close the shark got to the man, and didn’t seem to care at all that the swimmer was in its path. (Read more from “MIAMI BITES: Heartstopping Moment Fearsome Tiger Shark Swims Just Feet Away From Oblivious Paddlers” HERE)

SHOCK VIDEO: Students Undergo ‘Disturbing Sensory Experiences’ to Drive out Prejudice

/0 Comments/in , /by

Some San Diego State University students are undergoing what organizers acknowledge is a “disturbing” series of “sensory experiences” in an attempt to drive out students’ prejudicial tendencies and help make them less oppressive.

The annual workshop, “Journey to a Shared Humanity,” is described on the university’s website as a way for organizers to get students to “step outside their comfort zone and into the shoes of those who are struggling with oppressive circumstances.”

This year, some students were required to attend the event as part of their classes. During the experience, students are walked through a darkened multipurpose room to view a series of theatrical vignettes acted out by campus leaders.

For example, in this year’s rendition, held earlier this month, students observed skits that included a black man yelling at them to stand against and face the wall and not look at him.

“Let’s go! Face the wall! Don’t look at me,” the performer yelled as if he was a drill instructor commanding recruits. Then he went on. (Read more from “SHOCK VIDEO: Students Undergo ‘Disturbing Sensory Experiences’ to Drive out Prejudice” HERE)

Trump’s FCC Chairman Hammers Twitter, Facebook for Censorship, Viewpoint Discrimination Against Conservatives

/0 Comments/in , /by

The head of the Federal Communications Commission is going on the offensive against tech companies in an effort to make his case for repealing net neutrality rules.

FCC chairman Ajit Pai on Tuesday accused Twitter (TWTR, Tech30) and other tech companies of being disingenuous by arguing for a free and open internet while they “routinely block or discriminate against content they don’t like.”

The remarks came as part of a speech on his recently revealed plan to unravel Obama-era net neutrality protections at a telecom policy event in Washington DC. The 2015 rules were intended to keep the internet open and fair by preventing broadband providers from playing favorites with online content . . .

Pai, a Republican commissioner appointed to head the agency by President Trump, specifically called out Twitter for appearing to have a “double standard when it comes to suspending or de-verifying conservative users’ accounts as opposed to those of liberal users.

Elizabeth Warren Uses Trump ‘Racial Slur’ to Solicit Cash

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is featuring President Trump’s “Pocahontas” dig in a new fundraising email to supporters.

The senator has accused Trump of attacking her with a “racist slur” during a ceremony Monday at the White House honoring World War II Navajo code talkers.

“Trump stood right next to those Native American war heroes and came after me with another racist slur,” she states in the email dispatch.

During the ceremony, Trump told the code talkers, now in their 90s: “You’re very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here. Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas. But you know what? I like you. Because you are special.”

Trump frequently referred to Warren during the 2016 presidential campaign as “Fauxcahontas,” playing on the senator’s unsubstantiated claim that she might be 1/32 Cherokee. (Read more from “Elizabeth Warren Uses Trump ‘Racial Slur’ to Solicit Cash” HERE)

Conflicting Accounts on How Border Agent Died

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .More than a week after border patrol agent Rogelio Martinez was mortally wounded — and days after his burial — Martinez’s family still has no idea how he died.

Several officials have called the west Texas incident an “attack” or “ambush.” President Donald Trump cited it as a reason to build his border wall.

Culberson County Sheriff Oscar Carrillo told CNN he arrived at the scene and helped attend to Martinez, who was alive at that point and in the culvert. He said the scene didn’t look like one of an attack or ambush, and to suggest so, as some people have, is “very premature.”

Carrillo had earlier told The Dallas Morning News the injuries may be consistent with a fall into the culvert where Martinez and his partner were found. (Read more from “Conflicting Accounts on How Border Agent Died” HERE)

Somali Refugee Who Raped 2 U.S. Women at Knifepoint Walks Free

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s been six years since Somali refugee Mohammed Ali Mohammed, then age 14, sexually assaulted two women at knifepoint on consecutive nights in Salt Lake City.

Mohammed, now just one month from his 21st birthday, attacked one woman who was standing outside of her home on Aug. 14, 2011 . . .

On the following night, the teenager from Somalia broke into another woman’s home and beat her before demanding she go to an ATM and withdraw $400 for him.

Fast-forward to Monday, Nov. 27, 2017. After serving six years in juvenile detention center, Mohammed sat in court and admitted to doing “very, very horrible things” as a teenager . . .

Because he is about to age out of the juvenile system, Judge Vernice Trease had the option of sentencing Mohammed to a term in the Utah State Prison or let him walk free on probation. She chose the latter. (Read more from “Somali Refugee Who Raped 2 U.S. Women at Knifepoint Walks Free” HERE)

Tax Vote Down to McCain

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .After sinking his party’s hopes of repealing the Affordable Care Act this year with a dramatic thumbs-down, the fate of a tax overhaul may now sit in the hands of the Republican from Arizona. In recent days, Mr. McCain has been fairly tight-lipped about his views on the tax proposal speeding through the Senate, saying he sees some problems with the existing bill but is waiting for a final plan before making a decision.

Asked about what concerned him about the Senate tax bill this week, Mr. McCain replied tersely: “A lot of things.”

Even those who know Mr. McCain best are unsure how he will vote, but if history is any guide, Republicans have reason to worry.

Mr. McCain has voted against big tax cuts before, including two that passed under another Republican president: George W. Bush. In that case, he bucked the majority of his party on the grounds that the 2001 and 2003 cuts overwhelmingly benefited the rich — a widespread criticism of the current Senate legislation and the bill that has already passed the House. Mr. McCain is also a deficit hawk and could find it hard to swallow a tax cut that will add around $1.5 trillion to the federal debt over 10 years. (Read more from “Tax Vote Down to McCain” HERE)

Limbaugh Reveals Democratic Front-Runner for 2020

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Talk-radio superstar Rush Limbaugh says the front-runner for the 2020 Democratic Party nomination for president “as we sit here today” is Bernie Sanders.

And his opponent for that nomination will be Michelle Obama.

“You disagree with me or you don’t believe it? Well, believe it, because the Democrat Party is no more the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is the party of American communism,” he said on his radio program Monday.

“And if you look at what Bernie Sanders stands for, where did Bernie Sanders honeymoon? Moscow. Bernie Sanders sidles up to the traditional enemies of this country. And Bernie Sanders is the most popular right now Democratic presidential candidate in the Democrat Party. It isn’t Joe Bite Me, and it isn’t Al Franken. And it isn’t Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Warren, and it’s not Kamala Harris. It is Bernie Sanders. And it’s not even close. Bernie Sanders, hands down.”

Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party nomination in 2016 in a race in which Democratic officials admitted they were working on behalf of Clinton during the primary. (Read more from “Limbaugh Reveals Democratic Front-Runner for 2020” HERE)
