Steakhouse Customer Banned for Racist Note to Waiter – Then the Truth Comes Out

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. A waiter at a Texas steakhouse made national news when he said a customer left a racist note on his receipt, but the truth has since come out and it’s drastically different from what the waiter claimed. . .

The note supposedly read, “we don’t tip terrorist [sic],” and circled the name of the server, which is “Khalil.” . . .

After making national news, [Khalil] Cavil [the waiter] admitted the story was a hoax.

“I did write it,” Cavil said Monday. “I don’t have an explanation. I made a mistake. There is no excuse for what I did.” . . .

“I’m sorry. I deeply made a huge, big mistake,” Cavil said. “And I’m in the process of getting the help that I need.” (Read more from “Steakhouse Customer Banned for Racist Note to Waiter – Then the Truth Comes Out” HERE)

Saltgrass Coo, Waiter Says Racism Story Made Up

By OA Online. he Odessa waiter whose story about being called a terrorist by a customer spurred national attention last week now admits it was all a hoax.

The waiter, Khalil Cavil, 20, admitted he wrote the racist note himself in a Monday interview with the Odessa American, where he apologized to a reporter “because I did lie to you.” . . .

Cavil’s call followed a press release from Saltgrass Steak House revealing the hoax. Cavil had lied about receiving the note calling him a terrorist while working at the restaurant on July 14.

Terry Turney, COO of Saltgrass, issued this: “After further investigation, we have learned that our employee fabricated the entire story. The customer has been contacted and invited back to our restaurant to dine on us. Racism of any form is intolerable, and we will always act swiftly should it occur in any of our establishments. Falsely accusing someone of racism is equaling disturbing.”

Cavil claimed he was left no tip and that “we don’t tip terrorist” was written on the receipt. Cavil had said he hoped the post would spur conversation “about this hatred that is still going on, that is still here and prevalent. I just wanted people to understand that.” (Read more from “Saltgrass Coo, Waiter Says Racism Story Made Up” HERE)

GOP Rep Won’t Resign After Screaming N-Word, Taking off Pants in Fake Anti-Terror Training

/0 Comments/in , /by

State Rep. Jason Spencer (R-Ga.) plans to finish out his fourth term in office despite calls from state politicians for him to resign after he was recorded screaming racial slurs while being pranked for actor Sacha Baron Cohen’s new show, according to The Daily Beast.

Spencer who has reportedly faced death threats for a burqa ban he introduced in the state legislature, was tricked by Cohen into participating in a fake anti-terrorism training, which included screaming the N-word at potential attackers, and attempting to touch them with his naked behind.

“As uncomfortable as I was to participate, I agreed to, understanding that these ‘techniques’ were meant to help me and others fend off what I believed was an inevitable attack,” Spencer wrote in a statement. “My fears were so heightened at the that time, I was not thinking clearly nor could I appreciate what I was agreeing to when I participated in his ‘class.’” . . .

[Video contains explicit language.]

Cohen convinces Spencer that yelling the “forbidden” N-word would be an effective method of warding off terror attacks, after which Spencer repeatedly shouts the word while running as practice.

Spencer, at Cohen’s suggestion, also engaged in a racist (and bad) impersonation of a Chinese man in order to use a selfie stick to take a picture of someone’s genitals to identify whether they were carrying a weapon.

Poll: After Widely-Criticized Russia Week, This Happened to Trump’s Job Approval

/0 Comments/in , /by

When I wrote last week that President Trump’s capitulatory press conference with Vladimir Putin was a low moment in his tenure thus far, I wasn’t out on a limb. Trump’s equivocations prompted rebukes from scores of Congressional Republicans, as well as critiques from a number of national figures who are typically supporters and allies. Trump’s secret sauce, however, is that the more he’s attacked, the more Republican voters feel compelled to circle the wagons and rally to his defense — hence the polling released last week in which super-majorities of GOP-leaning voters said they approved of his performance with Putin, and share his views on trade wars and tariffs. If it had been Obama at the center of either controversy, Republicans would undoubtedly have been nearly unified in intense opposition, but tribal loyalty is paramount these days. Indeed, for a great many partisan voters, Trump himself is the top “issue” ahead of the midterms, according to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll:

If the election turns into a referendum on the president, that could be a boon to Democrats…if Trump’s job approval rating is in ugly shape, and if undecided voters break substantially against him. A new NBC/WSJ poll contains hopeful signs for both parties. Let’s start with the good news for Republicans: The president’s approval numbers have surged in the series, placing him back in the mid-40’s:

President Donald Trump’s approval rating edged higher during a week in which he faced withering criticism following a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, signaling that he is positioned to weather the latest controversy sparked by his unusual brand of politics. Mr. Trump’s job approval rating rose to 45% in a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, the highest mark of his presidency and up 1 percentage point from June. The survey was taken over a four-day period that started July 15, a day before Mr. Trump’s news conference with Mr. Putin in which he questioned the conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia meddled in the 2016 election…Mr. Trump’s overall approval rating continued to rank among the lowest of any modern president at this point his first term, and the poll turned up warning signals for him.

Filmmaker’s Stunning Admission Could Discredit This Famous Documentary

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock first shot to national attention with his 2004 film Super Size Me. He ate nothing but McDonald’s food and chronicled his ill health during that time. Spurlock and his film became a cultural phenomenon. He received the Best Director award at Sundance and was nominated for an Academy award. . .

Each day during his month-long experiment, he ate all his meals only at McDonald’s, and he ate large servings by any restaurant’s standards. No one forced him. By the experiment’s end, he reported experiencing shakes (as in trembling, not milkshakes) and fatigue. Most disturbingly, he appeared to be suffering liver damage.

Crucially, though, Spurlock claimed he had previously been in good health. That was what purportedly made him a good test subject, and he would go on to spin a whole career out of this self-experimentation routine, particularly in his TV series 30 Days in which, among other stunts, he spent (almost) 30 days in a Henrico, Virginia jail. . .

YouTube immediately dropped their plans to screen his Super Size Me sequel because of the admissions of sexual misbehavior. Overlooked in his “ confession,” however, is a stunning admission that calls into question the veracity of the original Super Size Me and demolishes his claims about the harms of a McDonald’s diet.

Spurlock asks whether childhood emotional upheaval including conflict between his parents influenced his later bad attitude toward women, then adds: “Or is it because I’ve consistently been drinking since the age of 13? I haven’t been sober for more than a week in 30 years, something our society doesn’t shun or condemn but which only served to fill the emotional hole inside me and the daily depression I coped with.” (Read more from “Filmmaker’s Stunning Admission Could Discredit This Famous Documentary” HERE)

Surprising Poll Reveals How Americans Truly Feel About So-Called Russian Collusion

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. An overwhelming majority of Americans don’t think the ongoing probe into whether Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian officials to steal the presidency from Hillary Clinton is that important, according to a new Gallup poll.

A record-breaking number of Americans (22 percent) think immigration is the most important problem facing the United States, while 19 percent say dissatisfaction with the U.S. government is the biggest problem and 7 percent think racism is the most important issue.

A combined total of 16 percent of Americans list unifying the country, lack of respect for one another, and the economy in general as the most important issues. The other issues that make it to the top of the list are health care (according to 3 percent of Americans), and ethics and morality (according to another 3 percent of those surveyed).

The ongoing probe to investigate to what extent Russia was involved in Trump’s electoral victory in 2016 was nowhere on the list of the top eight issues most Americans (70 percent) say are the most important ones the United States is facing.

Of the Republican voters surveyed, 35 percent thought immigration was the most important issue. Of Independent voters, immigration topped the charts, but a much smaller plurality (22 percent) said this was the most important issue.

Trump-Russia: FBI Believed Carter Page ‘Collaborated and Conspired’ With Moscow

By The Guardian. The Trump administration has released documents related to the surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, as part of an investigation into whether he colluded with Russia to undermine the 2016 US presidential election.

A surveillance application filed by the FBI in October 2016, a month before the election, said: “The FBI believes that Page has been collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government.”

Page has consistently denied working as an agent of the Russia and has not been charged with any crime after almost two years of investigation.

In an interview with CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, he reiterated his denials and described the FBI’s application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (Fisa) court as “so ridiculous it’s beyond words”. He accused law enforcement of misleading the court.

“I’ve never been an agent of a foreign power by any stretch of the imagination,” he said. (Read more from “Trump-Russia: FBI Believed Carter Page ‘Collaborated and Conspired’ With Moscow” HERE)

Watch: Marcus Luttrell Has Incredible Response to Teen Who Destroyed Memorial for Slain Navy SEAL

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Long Island teenager was arrested last week after police say he vandalized a memorial for slain Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy, a Medal of Honor recipient.

Fellow Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, who was saved by Murphy’s actions during Operation Red Wings in 2005, reacted to the incident on Fox News over the weekend, providing an incredible response. . .

Luttrell went on to explain how he believes the situation should be handled. First, he suggested the reward money be used to rebuild the memorial. Then, he said he would love the opportunity to show the boy what type of man Murphy was.

“Send him to me. Take that kid, don’t put him in jail. You can send him out here to me and I’ll put him to work and show him what kind of man Mike was,” Luttrell said. “We all make mistakes and we push past them. That’s how we become the man that we’re bound a destined to be.” . . .

When asked what he would say to the boy if given the opportunity, Luttrell said the first thing he would say to the kid is, “Why don’t you tell me what’s going on?”

This Is What Deported Illegal Aliens Are Intentionally Doing With Their Children

/0 Comments/in , , /by

More than 100 illegal-alien parents who recently have been deported intentionally left their children behind in the United States, according to the head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. . .

“They might have a family member who that child can be placed with in the U.S., but that is the parent’s decision,” [Kevin McAleenan] said, according to Breitbart News.

The revelation comes amid emotional protests of the Trump administration’s policy of enforcing a law that requires children of adults being prosecuted for illegal entry to be temporarily housed in shelters apart from the parents. President Trump responded to the protests with an executive order that effectively reinstated the “catch-and-release” policy of trusting illegal immigrants to show up at a court hearing.

Jessica Vaughan, policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart that the “whole point of bringing the kids was to get the kids into the United States to live with friends or [extended] family.” . . .

“The parents are willing participants in the criminal act of smuggling, willingly putting their children in this dangerous situation, and willingly separating themselves from their kids, and willingly remaining separated,” she said.

Drunk Man Attempts to Punch Police Officer Outside Bar. It Was a Huge Mistake.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A drunk man was arrested in Memphis last week after he pushed, and then attempted to punch, a Memphis police officer. . .

According to WHBQ-TV, employees at a popular restaurant off Beale Street flagged down officers to deal with a drunken and disorderly man around 11 p.m. last Wednesday. Court records said Joseph Pszczola was yelling and causing a scene.

When police arrived, they asked Pszczola, who reportedly smelled of alcohol and was slurring his words, to vacate the premises. Pszczola failed to comply and continued to cause a scene.

The confrontation escalated when officers escorted Pszczola to a parking lot outside, WREG-TV reported. That’s when Pszczola shoved and then attempted to punch one of the officers. However, it was a grave mistake — and the officer fought back.

The officer struck Pszczola in the face, causing him to hit the ground. His arrest photos show how hard the officer punched him. According to WHBQ, the officer and Pszczola were transported to a local hospital and were OK.

MSM Promos Idea That Parents Can Let Children Decide Their Own Genders — This Is What They’re Called

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Some parents are deciding to let their children choose their own genders, and the idea is popping up in a variety of mainstream media reports. . .

The news outlet explains how two Cambridge, Massachusetts, parents are encouraging their children to blur the gender lines:

Three-year-old twins Zyler and Kadyn Sharpe scurried around the boys and girls clothing racks of a narrow consignment store filled with toys. Zyler, wearing rainbow leggings, scrutinized a pair of hot-pink-and-purple sneakers. Kadyn, in a T-Rex shirt, fixated on a musical cube that flashed colorful lights. At a glance, the only discernible difference between these fraternal twins is their hair — Zyler’s is brown and Kadyn’s is blond.

Is Zyler a boy or a girl? How about Kadyn? That’s a question their parents, Nate and Julia Sharpe, say only the twins can decide. The Cambridge, Mass., couple represent a small group of parents raising “theybies” — children being brought up without gender designation from birth.

. . .

“A theyby is, I think, different things to different people,” parent Nate Sharpe told NBC News. “For us, it means raising our kids with gender-neutral pronouns — so, ‘they,’ ‘them,’ ‘their,’ rather than assigning ‘he,’ ‘she,’ ‘him,’ ‘her’ from birth based on their anatomy.” (Read more from “MSM Promos Idea That Parents Can Let Children Decide Their Own Genders — This Is What They’re Called” HERE)

‘Boy or Girl?’ Parents Raising ‘Theybies’ Let Kids Decide

By NBC News. Parents in the U.S. are increasingly raising children outside traditional gender norms — allowing boys and girls to play with the same toys and wear the same clothes — though experts say this is happening mostly in progressive, well-to-do enclaves. But what makes this “gender-open” style of parenting stand out, and even controversial in some circles, is that the parents do not reveal the sex of their children to anyone. Even the children, who are aware of their own body parts and how they may differ from others, are not taught to associate those body parts with being a boy or girl. If no one knows a child’s sex, these parents theorize, the child can’t be pigeonholed into gender stereotypes.

This type of parenting received widespread attention in 2011, when a Toronto couple announced that they were raising their child, Storm, without gender designation, sparking a media frenzy. Progressive parents, who see their child’s gender as fluid rather than binary, took notice. A Brooklyn couple runs a blog featuring their 2-year-old, Zoomer, and offering advice on how to navigate the world while raising a “theyby.” Others have taken to Instagram to share photos and support.

Former ICE Chief: We’ve Arrested More Than 2,000 Sexual Predators

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. Today on Fox News, former director of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Thomas Homan, responded to comedian Michelle Wolff’s parody video comparing ICE to the terrorist organization ISIS. Homan condemned the video and explained that ICE has “arrested over 2,000 child predators” among other nefarious criminals who threaten the public.

Yesterday, Michelle Wolff released a mock recruiting video for ICE, featuring officers saying things such as “ICE is … rooting out the foreign enemy” and “ICE is … attacking when they least expect.” It also featured scenes reminiscent of the Islamic State’s propaganda such as tactical training and masked men. Wolff, dressed as Homeland Security Secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, ends the video by saying “there’s no better representation of American values right now than ICE is.”

Hillary Clinton Bashes Trump on Immigration

By Fox News. Saturday in the park with Hillary Clinton turned out to be a chance to listen to the former Democratic presidential nominee take aim, once again, at President Donald Trump. . .

Clinton lambasted Trump’s controversial immigration policies as well as his widely criticized summit in Helsinki last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Decades of “absorbing immigrants” and “opening the doors,” Clinton suggested, “has been to our advantage.”

To anyone who suggests such policies have “hurt America,” the former U.S. secretary of state continued, “they’re not walking around with their eyes open.” (Read more from “Hillary Clinton Bashes Trump on Immigration” HERE)
