‘It’s in the Quran,’ Says Muslim Who Beheaded Oklahoma Co-Worker

/0 Comments/in , /by

Was Alton Nolen mentally ill when he beheaded a female co-worker and tried to behead a second woman at a food plant in Oklahoma on Sept. 25, 2014, or was he simply being a good Muslim by following the dictates of the Quran?

That’s the issue the jury will have to decide in the 33-year-old Muslim convert’s trial, which opened last week and continued Monday in Norman, Oklahoma.

Nolen told police in 2014 he beheaded his co-worker, Colleen Hufford, and tried to behead another woman at the plant because he felt “oppressed” as a Muslim.

“You know all I was doing was … what I was supposed to do as a Muslim,” Nolen said. “It’s in the Quran.”

There were reports at after the incident that Nolen had tried to convert several of his co-workers to Islam and they were not receptive, which may have fueled his rage. (Read more from “‘It’s in the Quran,’ Says Muslim Who Beheaded Oklahoma Co-Worker” HERE)

Who Killed Seth? Fresh Hunt for Leads on Rich’s Killer

/0 Comments/in , /by

The murder of Seth Rich, the Democratic National Committee staffer some believe leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks, remains unsolved.

Now, more than a year later, lobbyist and lawyer Jack Burkman has launched a new nationwide TV campaign pleading for the public’s help.

As WND has reported, Rich, 27, the DNC’s voter expansion data director, had accepted a position with Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign just before his death.

On July 10, 2016, he was fatally shot in the back in Washington, D.C., near his apartment in an affluent neighborhood. Rich had been working for the DNC at a time when emails from the organization were being handed over to WikiLeaks for publication.

The Metropolitan Police Department and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowers insist Rich was randomly killed during a “botched robbery.” (Read more from “Who Killed Seth? Fresh Hunt for Leads on Rich’s Killer” HERE)

Look Who Likes Kim Jong Un Now

/0 Comments/in , , /by

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is growing in popularity on America’s political left-wing as the despot engages in a war of words with President Trump.

Progressives have shown an increasing willingness to embrace the brutal dictator as a means of attacking Trump, and some in the media have given the brutal dictator friendly, celebrity-like coverage.

Left-wing activists, meanwhile, are eagerly spreading pro-North Korea propaganda and making excuses for the dictator’s murderous activities.

Un’s public attacks on Trump on Tuesday prompted praise for the dictator by some in the media.

Washington Post columnist Petula Dvorak fawned over Un in a column published Friday morning. (Read more from “Look Who Likes Kim Jong Un Now” HERE)

Buffalo Bills Stadium Employee Quits After Players Kneel During Anthem

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Buffalo Bills stadium employee quit his job after at least a dozen team players kneeled during the national anthem prior to their game Sunday afternoon.

Erich Nikischer, who worked at New Era Field for almost 30 years, told WGRZ-TV that he quit right after he saw Bills players kneeling during the anthem as a form of protest.

“I waited until the national anthem ended, I took off my shirt, threw my Bills hat on the ground, walked out,” Nikischer said.

The former employee said he believes people have the right to protest, but feels that doing so during The Star-Spangled Banner is disrespectful.

“During the National Anthem… the song that is about our country, our veterans that fight and die for us, it’s just something I feel you shouldn’t disrespect that way. I believe people have the right to protest; I just don’t believe that’s the proper venue for it,” Nikischer added.

‘Declaration of War’: North Korea Claims Trump Speech Brought ‘All Options’ to the Table

/0 Comments/in , /by

A North Korean official said President Trump’s comments last week to the United Nations General Assembly amounted to a U.S. “declaration of war” against the Hermit Kingdom — the latest rhetoric in a war of words that comes a day after a propaganda video from Pyongyang featured missiles demolishing a U.S. aircraft and jets.

The 90-second video released on the DPRK Today news site one day after U.S. jets flew over waters east of North Korea, began with images mocking Trump before flashing to a submarine-launched missile striking the USS Carl Vinson, Yonhap News Agency reported. The aircraft carrier is seen exploding and disintegrating into pieces.

Meanwhile, words flash across the screen warning America against considering military action: “Should F-35, B-1B or the Carl Vinson lead the U.S attack, they will head to the grave in that order.” (Read more from “‘Declaration of War’: North Korea Claims Trump Speech Brought ‘All Options’ to the Table” HERE)

Another Senator Says No to Obamacare Repeal Bill

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said Monday she will vote against the latest ObamaCare repeal bill, effectively killing the Graham-Cassidy legislation.

Collins’ announcement came minutes after the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released figures estimating that the legislation would “result in millions fewer people with comprehensive health insurance that covers high-cost medical events.”

In a statement, Collins referred to the Graham-Cassidy bill as “deeply flawed,” and that health care reform cannot be done properly “in a compressed time frame.”

“Sweeping reforms to our health care system and to Medicaid can’t be done well in a compressed time frame, especially when the actual bill is a moving target,” Collins said.

“Today, we find out that there is now a fourth version of the Graham-Cassidy proposal, which is as deeply flawed as the previous iterations. The fact that a new version of this bill was released the very week we are supposed to vote compounds the problem,” the senator’s statement read.

Trump: We Face a North Korean Threat Because Clinton, Obama, and Others Failed

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump warned Friday night that the U.S. must find a way to stop North Korea because “we can’t have mad men out there shooting rockets all over the place.”

“Rocket man should have been handled a long time ago,” the president said at a rally in Alabama, appearing to suggest that past American presidents — Bill Clinton, George Bush and Barack Obama — should have dealt with the North Korea threat before it got to this point.

Trump has also called out Hillary Clinton in response to her criticisms of his North Korea policy, accusing her of failing to act as secretary of state while North Korea developed nuclear weapons.

Clinton tried to pay the regime in exchange for a nuclear freeze while North Korea secretly processed nuclear material, Bush labeled North Korea part of the axis of evil damaging relations beyond repair, and Obama pursued a policy of strategic patience while North Korea conducted four nuclear tests and dozens of missile tests.

Trump did not identify Bush by name; rather, he said that he wouldn’t mention the Republican. Under Bush, North Korea tested its first nuclear weapon, although the weapon was limited in its explosive power.

North Korea has twice successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile, fired intermediate-range ballistic missiles over Japan, and tested a suspected hydrogen bomb.

The North Korean foreign minister suggested Thursday that the rogue regime, in response to Trump’s threat to “totally destroy” North Korea at the United Nations General Assembly, might detonate a staged thermonuclear weapon in the Pacific.

“I’m sure he’s listening,” Trump said Friday of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, who personally responded to the president’s U.N. speech, threatening to rein in Trump “with fire.”

“Maybe something gets worked out and maybe it doesn’t,” Trump explained.

Earlier Friday, the president called Kim a madman, vowing to take the young dictator to task, according to The Daily Caller.

Trump and Kim are locked in a battle, a war of words, with each holding nuclear weapons capable of killing millions of people. The threat is becoming more alarming with each rhetorical exchange.

New Orleans Mayoral Candidate Accused of Masturbating in an Uber

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New Orleans mayoral candidate has been charged with a misdemeanor after allegedly masturbating in an Uber early this year.

Frank Scurlock was allegedly caught masturbating by his female Uber driver en route from a West Hollywood hotel Feb. 10.

He wasn’t charged until Aug. 31 due to jurisdictional complications, Santa Monica Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White confirmed Friday, after the Advocate first reported the story.

Scurlock, who is running under the slogan “Make New Orleans Fun Again,” is due to be arraigned in Los Angeles Criminal Court Oct. 16, two days after the mayoral primary in New Orleans.

The unnamed Uber driver told police that she stopped driving after hearing suspicious noises coming from the backseat of her vehicle. (Read more from “New Orleans Mayoral Candidate Accused of Masturbating in an Uber” HERE)

Will Trump Open U.S. Doors to Another Country’s Muslims?

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Leo Hohmann. This is pack journalism at its best, a virtual media blitz on a topic few Americans know anything about in a land faraway . . .

So what is it that has CNN, Reuters, PBS, the Associated Press, and Politico all racing to Burma to cover?

They can’t wait to tell the heart-wrenching stories of Burma’s persecuted Rohingya Muslims . . .

The media onslaught, which critics say only tells half the story, has now caught the attention of the Trump administration.

Vice President Mike Pence used a high-level United Nations Security Council meeting Thursday to plead the case for the Rohingya, calling on the world body to do more to help the poor, beleaguered Muslims. (Read more from “Will Trump Open U.S. Doors to Another Country’s Muslims?” HERE)

Rohingya Refugees to Receive $32 Million From U.S.

By John Haltiwanger. The U.S. government will provide $32 million in aid to help the hundreds of thousands Rohingya refugees who’ve fled Myanmar since late August, the State Department said Wednesday.

The aid includes “emergency shelter, food security, nutritional assistance, health assistance, psychosocial support, water, sanitation and hygiene, livelihoods, social inclusion, non-food items, disaster and crisis risk reduction, restoring family links” for more than 400,000 Rohingya who have fled to Bangladesh or been displaced within Myanmar, the State Department said in a statement.

The help from the Trump administration came as a surprise because the president did not refer to the Rohingya in his United Nations remarks on Tuesday, nor in a brief chat with Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday.

Comedian Wins ‘Holy ____ You Can’t Be That Stupid’ Prize

/0 Comments/in , /by

Late Thursday night, Chelsea Handler, self-described comedian and “psychic,” tweeted something so moronic about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s response to President Trump’s U.N. speech that one wonders where she found the brain cells to order her fingers to type.

For context, after President Trump warned North Korea that continued testing and potential use of the rogue regime’s nuclear weapons would leave the United States with “no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” Kim Jong Un issued a statement lashing out at the president, calling him “a frightened dog” and a “gangster fond of playing with fire.”

“Far from making remarks of any persuasive power that can be viewed to be helpful to defusing tension, he made unprecedented rude nonsense one has never heard from any of his predecessors,” Kim Jong Un said, adding “a frightened dog barks louder.”

The rest of the statement used the same overblown language, swearing he would make Trump “pay dearly” for threatening North Korea with total destruction. “I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire,” the evil nuclear madman declared.

To you and me — rational people — Kim Jong Un presents himself as a menace to the world and a clear enemy of the United States. Chelsea Handler — irrational liberal dunderhead — wants Un to be president.

“Maybe we trade?” Donald Trump for the despot who murdered his own brother to consolidate power? Trump for the tyrant overseeing the mass starvation of the North Korean people? Trump for the dictator of the evil regime that killed Otto Warmbier?

Yes, you remember Otto Warmbier, don’t you? The American student held captive by the North Korean regime? The college kid who was tortured by Kim Jong Un’s Stalinist regime and returned to his parents in a comatose state, dying shortly after coming home at the age of 22?

He must’ve slipped Handler’s mind. Which is why there is a chorus of people all making the same point about that horrendous tweet:

Some people thought Chelsea Handler hit rock bottom when she maligned Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson and former Sheriff David Clarke as “black white supremacists.”

But never underestimate the disgusting, mindless dreck progressivism will vomit out. (For more from the author of “Comedian Wins ‘Holy ____ You Can’t Be That Stupid’ Prize” please click HERE)
