Bakery Fires Employees After Refusing to Serve Black Woman After Hours

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Portland, Ore., bakery caved to a disgruntled customer’s allegations of racism and fired two employees after they wouldn’t serve a customer because the shop was closed.

Back to Eden Bakery sent multiple apologies and public statements admitting it’s racist because it refused to serve a black woman who entered the shop after hours and asked to buy a pastry despite that the shop had closed.

The incident occurred in early May and is now circulating in the news, garnering a strong public response on Facebook and social media. A woman named only as “Lillian” entered the bakery at 9:06 p.m. after the shop had already closed, according to the bakeshop’s Facebook post about the event. Confusion arose because the shop was unusually busy for the late hour and there were still a few customers in line who the shop agreed to serve but who’d been informed the shop was officially closed. The lighted “Open” sign had been turned off.

After the bakeshop employees informed Lillian that they were officially closed and they could serve no more customers, Lillian video recorded the experience and claimed the bakery was racist because it served the two white women who had arrived at the shop earlier, but refused to serve her.

In a public statement of apology, bakery co-owner and general manager John Blomgren described the event as “absolutely egregious” and stated the shop had fired the two employees who had informed Lillian they could not serve her because the shop was closed. “We are doing business in a gentrified neighborhood in a racist city within a racist state of a racist country,” Blomgren wrote in the Facebook post, noting the incident reveals the shop has more work to do to dismantle racism.

Transgender Prisoners Are Now Housed Based on ‘Identity’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Transgender prisoners in Connecticut can now live with other inmates according to their gender identity rather than their biological sex, marking a departure from federal law and other state laws mandating that prisoners are housed according to biology.

The change comes after Connecticut authorities held a teen prisoner in an adult women’s prison because its policies regarding transgender housing was uncertain, according to Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy’s criminal justice undersecretary Mike Lawlor, Newsweek reported.

“It sets as the presumptive standard that transgender women are housed with women and transgender men are housed with men, which is in stark contrast to laws in other states and at the federal level,” GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) director Jennifer Levi told Newsweek, applauding the law.

Connecticut has already begun allowing transgender prisoners to be housed with members of their preferred sex in an effort to prepare for and smooth the transition to the law’s stipulations set to take effect July 1, 2018.

“They will, of course, have to continue to train prison officials to ensure compliance with the law given pervasive misunderstandings about transgender people’s lives,” Levi added, noting that prison guards will have to respect the gender identity choices of their prisoners who are suffering from dysphoria.

Trump’s Unexpected Response After Dems Falsely Accuse Him of Separating Illegal Families

/0 Comments/in , /by

Selective moral outrage was at peak hysteria over the weekend after it was reported 1,500 unaccompanied illegal alien children were missing and disturbing photos of supposed ‘migrant’ children were floated throughout the internet.

Liberals seethed over images of children locked in “cages” and called out the Trump administration for it’s inhumane treatment of the innocent, only there was one problem … the photos were taken under Obama’s term.

While blue-check Liberals were beginning to understand that they had been duped and tweets like the one above started to disappear, others who weren’t yet in on the game kept their vitriol going and it made for hilarious Twitter mockery. . .

Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump was on it, but his response was unexpectedly mild given the epic crow-eating by Dems going on in every corner of social media. We honestly expected a bit more gloating after the liberals were shamed so brutally.

Could POTUS be getting more of a Teflon coat or is he just numb to the disgraceful behavior of Dems by now?

Feds Want to ‘Program’ Genes to Stop Flu, Other Viruses

/0 Comments/in , /by

The federal government is launching a research effort that will look for ways to program genetic codes to protect people, especially military service members and first responders, from the flu, other pathogens and more, explains a report in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin. . .

“Inspired by recent advances in understanding of when and how genes express their traits, DARPA’s new … program will explore ways to better protect against biological, chemical, or radiological threats by temporarily and reversibly tuning gene expression to bolster the body’s defenses against – or directly neutralize – a given threat.”

The general population would be helped, but service members and first responders would especially benefit.

“Pathogens with pandemic potential, toxic chemicals, and radioactive materials can all quickly and powerfully overwhelm the body’s innate defenses,” the federal agency said. “And though significant public and private investment has been focused on the development of traditional medical countermeasures such as drugs, vaccines, and biologics to guard against the worst effects of these health threats, current countermeasures are often limited in their effectiveness and availability during emergencies.”

The new technologies, as envisioned, “would provide an alternative that preserves the genetic code exactly as it is and only temporarily modulates gene activity via the epigenome and transcriptome, which are the cellular messages that carry out DNA’s genetic instructions inside cells.” (Read more from “Feds Want to ‘Program’ Genes to Stop Flu, Other Viruses” HERE)

Half Human – Half Chicken Abomination Created

/0 Comments/in , /by

A team of stem cell researchers have done the seemingly impossible and successfully combined artificial human cells with the embryo of a chicken in a shock new experiment aimed at trying to better understand developing life.

Until now, scientists have been unable to answer how certain cells in a developing embryo decide to become muscles or limbs, while others become bones and nerves.

But now researchers led by Dr Ali Brivanlou, from Rockefeller University in New York, have achieved the unimaginable in a shock experiment.

By grafting petri dish-grown human cells onto the embryo of a chicken the scientists were for the first time ever able to observe how cells [organize] themselves. . .

In may ways the study mirrored the discovery of organiser cells in 1924, when a duo of German scientists transplanted cells from one salamander onto the embryo of another. (Read more from “Half Human – Half Chicken Abomination Created” HERE)

Shocking Reveal on $50 Million Obama Netflix Deal

/2 Comments/in , , /by

The Netflix executive who brokered the recent $50 million deal for Barack and Michelle Obama was a major campaign contributor to the 44th president.

Byron York, reporting for the New York Post, cited a source who said Ted Sarandos, the streaming giant’s creative content chief who oversees an $8 billion budget, bundled, along with his wife, nearly $600,000 in contributions to Obama from their friends and associates during the 2012 presidential campaign.

Last week, the Obamas signed a creative production deal with Netflix that could be valued at more than $50 million, according to an entertainment industry source. . .

The sequence of events – seen by some as an unethical quid pro quo and others as a mere coincidental benefit of ongoing professional relationships – is the kind of wealth-building spotlighted by investigative reporter Peter Schweizer in his books “Clinton Cash” and “Secret Empires: How Our Politicians Hide Corruption and Enrich Their Families and Friends”. “Clinton Cash” spotlights the enormous wealth built by Bill and Hillary Clinton while Hillary Clinton ran for president and served as secretary of state, including the $145 million from uranium investors donated to the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton’s $500,000 speaking fee from a Russian bank tied to the Kremlin before Secretary of State Hillary Clinton helped decide whether to approve the sale to the Russian government of a company that held one-fifth of America’s uranium capacity.

Schweizer’s new book, “Secret Empires,” centers on what he calls “corruption by proxy,” in which family and friends of powerful political figures position themselves as middlemen, creating “previously unimaginable pathways to wealth.” (Read more from “Shocking Reveal on $50 Million Obama Netflix Deal” HERE)

Watch: RNC’s First MS-13 Ad Against Democrats Starring Pelosi. It’s Brutal.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Democrats knew it was coming, but that can’t make it any more pleasant to watch. The Republican National Committee has released its first “Democrats defend the brutal MS-13 gang whose motto is ‘Kill, Rape, Control'” ad — and it’s appropriately brutal.

The MS-13 fiasco began with the media falsely reporting on President Trump’s condemnation of the notorious gang as “animals,” which the media distorted to be a condemnation of all illegal immigrants, despite the transcripts of the incident clearly showing that was not his intent. Even after the Associated Press and a few other outlets publicly admitted to misreported his comments, several Democratic leaders continued to claim disingenuously that Trump was “dehumanizing” all illegal immigrants.

The unfortunate star of the ad is none other than Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, whose “spark of divinity” lecture directed at Donald Trump earned instant infamy. Here’s the key excerpt from Pelosi’s defense of all “undocumented immigrants,” which includes murderous MS-13 members:

We believe — some of us who are attracted to the political arena, to government and public service — that we are all God’s children, there is a spark of divinity among every person on earth, and that we all have to recognize that as we respect the dignity and worth of every person and as we recognize our responsibilities with that spark of divinity within us. And so when the president of the United States says about undocumented immigrants, “These aren’t people, these are animals,” you have to wonder, does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person?

Terrorist Goes on Rampage Yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Washington Post. A man killed two police officers and a bystander Tuesday in the Belgian city of Liege before he was fatally shot in what prosecutors are investigating as a terrorist attack, a prosecutor said.

The attacker, who was not immediately named by Belgian authorities, had been in prison since 2003 and was allowed out Monday on a two-day leave, Belgian Justice Minister Koen Geens said. The furlough put Belgian officials on the defensive about whether they should have been able to predict that the man was a security risk.

The incident unfolded at midmorning in the center of Liege, the third-largest city in Belgium, when the man came up behind two female police officers and attacked them with a knife, then grabbed one of their handguns and shot both dead, prosecutor Philippe Dulieu said.

Then the attacker shot a 22-year-old man who was sitting in the passenger seat of a nearby parked car. The assailant next walked into a school, where he took a woman hostage and forced a standoff with police during which students were evacuated. The man was subsequently killed in a gun battle with police officers who rushed to the scene, Dulieu said. (Read more from “Gunman Goes on Rampage Yelling ‘Allahu Akbar'” HERE)

Belgium Terror Attack Leaves Two Cops Dead

By The New York Post. A prison inmate on an extremist watchlist was given a two-day furlough in Belgium — and promptly killed two female cops and a civilian while shouting “Allahu Akbar!’’ during the terror attack, police said Tuesday.

Drug con-turned-extremist Benjamin Herman, 36, walked out of prison near the eastern city of Liège on Monday night as part of the country’s rehabilitation program to help inmates assimilate back into society once they are released, authorities said. . .

The officers were identified as Soraya Belkacemi, 53, and Lucile Garcia, 45 — both the wives of fellow law-enforcement officers. (Read more from “Belgium Terror Attack Leaves Two Cops Dead” HERE)

Vet Who Survived Benghazi Attacks Brutalizes Parkland Activist’s Tweet

/0 Comments/in , /by

A U.S. military veteran who survived the 2012 attack in Benghazi slammed leftist Parkland activist David Hogg over Memorial Day weekend after Hogg tweeted about school shootings. . .

Asked last September how the average American could keep him/herself and their family safe, he replied, “Training is absolutely critical for self-defense. Under stress, you are always going to resort to your highest level of training. Just going out and purchasing a firearm will be of little help if you don’t have the repetition and stress induced by good training.” (Read more from “Vet Who Survived Benghazi Attacks Brutalizes Parkland Activist’s Tweet” HERE)

John Brennan’s Plot to Infiltrate the Trump Campaign Unveiled

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As Trump won primary after primary in 2016, a rattled John Brennan started claiming to colleagues at the CIA that Estonia’s intelligence agency had alerted him to an intercepted phone call suggesting Putin was pouring money into the Trump campaign. The tip was bogus, but Brennan bit on it with opportunistic relish.

Out of Brennan’s alarmist chatter about the bogus tip came an extraordinary leak to the BBC: that Brennan had used it, along with later half-baked tips from British intelligence, as the justification to form a multi-agency spy operation (given the Orwellian designation of an “inter-agency taskforce”) on the Trump campaign, which he was running right out of CIA headquarters.

The CIA was furious about the leak, but never denied the BBC’s story. To Congress earlier this year, Brennan acknowledged the existence of the group, but cast his role in it as the mere conduit of tips about Trump-Russia collusion: “It was well beyond my mandate as director of CIA to follow on any of those leads that involved U.S. persons. But I made sure that anything that was involving U.S. persons, including anything involving the individuals involved in the Trump campaign, was shared with the bureau.”

But if his role had truly been passive, the “inter-agency taskforce” wouldn’t have been meeting at CIA headquarters. By keeping its discussions at Langley, Brennan could keep his finger wedged in the pie. Both before and after the FBI’s official probe began in late July 2016, Brennan was bringing together into the same room at CIA headquarters a cast of Trump haters across the Obama administration whose activities he could direct — from Peter Strzok, the FBI liaison to Brennan, to the doltish Jim Clapper, Brennan’s errand boy, to an assortment of Brennan’s buddies at the Treasury Department, Justice Department, and White House. . .

[The informant Brennan used, Stefan Halper], had entered the Deep State through a door opened by his father-in-law, Ray Cline, whose work for the CIA was legendary. Behind that door Halper found a treasure trove of jobs and government contracts, making his life as a transatlantic jet-setting academic possible. Brennan’s Langley group had access to Halper’s file and sized him up as the perfect embed: a Republican-oriented foreign policy scholar who could plausibly interact with Trump officials while serving as a nexus between the CIA and Brennan’s friends in British intelligence. Halper’s ties to Richard Dearlove, a former head of British intelligence, are well known, and Halper knows Alexander Downer, the pub-crawling Aussie diplomat, through a mutual association with Cambridge University.
