Actress: ‘If Hillary Won, We’d Be at War’

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .It is often overlooked that in 2001, Sarandon supported Hillary Clinton’s run for the Senate. There are photos of them posing chummily together, grinning. Then Clinton voted for the war in Iraq and it all went downhill. During the last election, Sarandon supported Bernie Sanders, then wouldn’t support Clinton after she won the nomination, and now all the moderates hate her, to the extent, she says, that she had to change her phone number because people she identifies as Hillary trolls sent her threatening messages. “I got from Hillary people ‘I hope your crotch is grabbed’, ‘I hope you’re raped’. Misogynistic attacks. Recently, I said ‘I stand with Dreamers’ [children brought illegally to the US, whose path to legal citizenship – an Obama-era provision – Trump has threatened to revoke] and that started another wave.”

Wait, from the right?

“No, from the left! ‘How dare you! You who are responsible for this!’” . . .

Did she really say that Hillary was more dangerous than Trump?

“Not exactly, but I don’t mind that quote,” she says. “I did think she was very, very dangerous. We would still be fracking, we would be at war [if she was president]. It wouldn’t be much smoother. Look what happened under Obama that we didn’t notice.” (Read more from “Actress: ‘If Hillary Won, We’d Be at War'” HERE)

Trump Mentions ‘God’ 9 Times in Thanksgiving Message — Here’s How Many Times Obama Did Last Year

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump released his Thanksgiving message to the country Thursday morning. The message included a full-throated defense of his policies, the military and the future of the country. The president mentioned “God” nine times and “prayer” twice in his message.

Trump asked the nation multiple times to “thank God” in “prayer” and recalled the story of the first Thanksgiving, where pilgrims and Amerindians sat down together to enjoy a meal and thank God for the bounty of the harvest in the new land.

The president also recalled his predecessors, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, who were instrumental in designating Thanksgiving as national holiday . . .

In contrast, in last year’s Thanksgiving message, President Obama mentioned “God” only once and never once mentioned prayer.

‘Jesus’ Dropped From Official Prayer

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Jesus” has been banished from a prayer to open New Zealand’s parliamentary sessions.

The traditional prayer for decades has ended with “through Jesus Christ our Lord,” the Christian Post reported.

The Labour Party-led government proposed a new version of the prayer that leaves out Jesus and initiated a consultation process.

But Speaker Trevor Mallard used the prayer before the period of consultation ended.

The Christian Post said an even more radical proposed change to the prayer was rejected by members of the parliament that removed all religious references. (Read more from “‘Jesus’ Dropped From Official Prayer” HERE)

‘Ignorant Infidels’ in U.S. May Have to Be ‘Forced’ to Accept Islam

/0 Comments/in , /by

Radical imams from Virginia, Maryland and Texas recently attended a fund-raising event organized by an Islamist charity in which they were treated to a smorgasbord of teachings from foreign-based Islamic thinkers.

The prime delicacy was offered up by keynote speaker Habib-ur-Rehman Ludhianvi, a visiting Islamic cleric from Pakistan.

Ludhiavi believes America is a “land of infidels,” whom he described as “ignorant.” His comments are a ringing example of what Muslim leaders say when they are behind closed doors and in the company of other Muslims, as opposed to the public comments meant for gullible infidel ears, security experts tell WND.

The only reason the public knows what was said inside the Nov. 18 conference at a Holiday Inn in Springfield, Virginia, is because the gathering was infiltrated by Ehsan Rehan, the brave Pakistani-born journalist and editor of Rabwah Times who went undercover and captured video and audio.

The keynote speaker, Ludhianavi, is leader of the Islamic seminary Dar-ul-Uloom, which is based in Pakistan but operates branches in the United States, Canada and the U.K., including one in St. Paul, Minnesota, that opened in a former Catholic church in 2014. There’s another in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and others in Warren, Michigan, and San Bernardino, California. (Read more from “‘Ignorant Infidels’ in U.S. May Have to Be ‘Forced’ to Accept Islam” HERE)

Ivanka Trump Weighs in on Controversy Surrounding Malia Obama

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former first daughter Malia Obama has received some harsh criticism this week from across the political spectrum for some of her actions on campus at Harvard University.

The college freshman’s behavior, including a kiss and a short video clip apparently showing her exhale smoke, have been scrutinized by some right-leaning political blogs and a number of social media users.

Counteracting those critics, however, have been scores of comments imploring them to let the 19-year-old experience college life privately.

Among those making that case are two women who can uniquely relate with her position: Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton.

The current and former first daughters each posted tweets in the wake of the backlash against Obama making their case for leaving her out of the spotlight.

Trump wrote that Obama’s life should be “OFF limits” to the media, adding she should be afforded the same privacy as her Harvard peers.

Clinton shamed the media outlets who ran stories about Obama, writing that her college experiences should not end up as their “clickbait.”

Their sentiments were echoed by many others, with supportive comments far outpacing critical ones.

Along with countless private citizens, several celebrities also spoke out in her defense, as USA Today reported.

“Let Malia live,” wrote hip-hop artist Common.

Some took it a step further with political jabs aimed at the confirmed and alleged actions of President Donald Trump’s adult children.

Still, Twitter users finding fault with Obama’s behavior for a number of reasons were able to have their voices heard, and in many cases amplified.

Some of the more extreme reaction revolved around the fact that Obama was seen kissing a young white man.

The U.K. Telegraph identified the man seen kissing Obama as Rory Farquharson, also a student at Harvard. (For more from the author of “Ivanka Trump Weighs in on Controversy Surrounding Malia Obama” please click HERE)

Geologists See 2018 as Year of Monster Quakes

/0 Comments/in , /by

Geophysicists who studied seismic activity over the past 117 years report 2018 could be shaping up as a year of monster earthquakes – especially around the equator . . .

The signal that causes the alarm from a historical pattern, they say, is the slowing of the Earth’s rotation.

The new study, presented at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America, in Seattle, is published in Geophysical Research Letters by geologists Roger Bilham of the University of Colorado, Boulder, and Rebecca Bendick of the University of Montana.

It tracked the incidence of magnitude 7 or greater earthquakes worldwide since 1900, revealing through recent history, such major quakes occur about 15 times per year. Yet, over the last 117 years, there have been evenly spaced intervals in which the annual total jumped to between 25 and 30 . . .

While the researchers caution that 117 years is a relatively short period of time in the history of the Earth, something else caught the attention of the researchers. (Read more from “Geologists See 2018 as Year of Monster Quakes” HERE)

Texas Rep Barton Apologizes for Nude Pic and Sext, but Won’t Retire

/0 Comments/in , /by

Congressman Joe Barton, R-Texas, has apologized for sending a nude photo and illicit text message to a woman not his wife. The image circulated around social media earlier this week.

“While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women,” Barton said in a statement Wednesday. “Each was consensual. Those relationships have ended. I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down.”

Barton announced his reelection bid earlier this month. The Republican representative told the Texas Tribune on Tuesday he was still deliberating his political future.

However, a spokesman for Barton told The Dallas Morning News Wednesday that the congressman has no plans to retire.

“You’re as aware of what was posted as I am,” he said. “I am talking to a number of people, all of whom I have faith in and am deciding how to respond, quite frankly.”

Barton, 68, was first elected to the House in 1985 and is the longest-serving member of Congress from the Texas delegation. (For more from the author of “Texas Rep Barton Apologizes for Nude Pic and Sext, but Won’t Retire” please click HERE)

A man is filing suit against the person who plays the Los Angeles Kings mascot for allegedly groping him inappropriately.

According to the Los Angeles Daily News, Maso Griffin accuses the hockey team’s mascot, known as “Bailey the Lion,” of groping him in an elevator last year. At the time, he alleges a man named Tim Smith played Bailey.

Griffin, who was working as a dishwasher at the stadium’s restaurant at the time, claims he reported the groping to his boss Melissa Smith, who was married to Tim. After he reported it, he claims he was made fun of by other staff and eventually fired. (Read more from “Man Claims in Lawsuit That He Was Groped by LA Kings Mascot” HERE)
