Three police officers were injured during clashes with migrants Saturday by the French port of Calais.
Calais has become a hotspot for migrants who want to make it to the United Kingdom through the Eurotunnel. Migrants frequently attempt to hijack trucks on the motorway and many “took advantage of the bottleneck to board a few trucks,” according to local deputy police chief Jean-Philippe Vennin.
“Our British colleagues had opened only nine out of 14 lanes this weekend though we expected 9,000 vehicles in the Eurotunnel and 7,500 at the port,” Vennin told AFP.
Police used tear gas to stop migrants and three police officers were reported injured. Police did not comment on whether any migrants were hurt during the clashes. (Read more from “French Police Officers Injured During Clashes With Migrants” HERE)
President Donald Trump has decided to end the Obama-era program that grants work permits to undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children, according to two sources familiar with his thinking. Senior White House aides huddled Sunday afternoon to discuss the rollout of a decision likely to ignite a political firestorm — and fulfill one of the president’s core campaign promises.
Trump has wrestled for months with whether to do away with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. He has faced strong warnings from members of his own party not to scrap the program and struggled with his own misgivings about targeting minors for deportation.
Conversations with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who argued that Congress — rather than the executive branch — is responsible for writing immigration law, helped persuade the president to terminate the program, the two sources said, though White House aides caution that — as with everything in the Trump White House — nothing is set in stone until an official announcement has been made.

An Army medical officer has won a skirmish against the politically correct policy of letting transgenderism activists force their language on proponents of traditional morality.
The officer, who is remaining anonymous to avoid retaliation, was granted a religious exemption from using pronouns that conflict with a person’s biological sex.
The officer had reached out to the religious-rights non-profit First Liberty after the Army instituted a new policy that requires all soldiers to use the pronoun that aligns with a person’s “gender identity.”
The officer spoke with Michael Berry, deputy general counsel for First Liberty, who offered her advice to resolve her concerns.
Berry was a former judge advocate general for the Marine Corps and has been at the forefront of many high-profile religious freedom cases. (Read more from “Army Officer Goes to Battle Over… Gender Pronouns” HERE)
The concept of “fundamental transformation” has been discussed vigorously since then, especially in light of the many sweeping changes Obama brought to the country over his eight years in office.
Historian Charles Sasser sees Obama’s “fundamental transformation” in the context of an older and more sinister plan articulated by a pair of Marxist activists nearly 50 years ago.
“What we’re seeing now is this fundamental transformation, and it goes all the way back to [Herbert] Marcuse,” Sasser said during a recent appearance on the “Prophecy Hour” radio program. “In the 1960s when he [Marcuse] was talking about the ‘long march through the institutions,’ this is what Obama was talking about – the fundamental transformation of America.”
The “long march through the institutions” was coined by student activist Rudi Dutschke in the late 1960s to describe his strategy for bringing about the conditions for a Marxist revolution in the United States.
The plan was for Marxists to infiltrate all of America’s major institutions – politics, the news media, the education system, the churches, the entertainment industry – and slowly subvert those institutions from within, thereby subverting America.

President Trump announced a decision on DACA will be Tuesday. Will this finally begin the “Big Ugly” confrontation? Possibly, but one thing is certain, right now he’s probing.
CTH is not a seer of Donald Trump, and anyone who would claim they are should be necessarily dismissed. President Donald Trump is the only entity who knows specifically what he’s going to do in the moments leading up to what he’s going to do; no-one else. However, that said, CTH does have a pretty good sense of what evaluation processes Trump takes prior to action. There are indications Tuesday might be the day.
There is one political enterprise within Washington DC and national politics. There is only one enterprise. That enterprise is the UniParty. There is only one political party in Washington DC, with two internal caucuses – Republicans and Democrats.
The “Big Ugly” is the moment when President Trump decides to rip the masks off the remnants of the Republican wing of the UniParty within Washington DC. In many ways the “Big Ugly” is the elimination of the Republican party, and the beginning of an era when a second party, a MAGA party, actually enters the blood stream of U.S. politics and stands against the UniParty.
The confrontation is inevitable. It has been inevitable since the entire GOPe apparatus, including every single GOPe candidate within the 2016 Republican primary, stood up against Donald J Trump. Candidate Donald Trump held an entirely different series of campaign platform issues the Republican apparatus abhors. That’s why he won, and they didn’t.

Unusual health attacks on U.S. diplomats in Cuba continued as recently as August despite previous assessments that the activities had stopped in the spring, the U.S. said on Friday.
“We can confirm another incident which occurred last month and is now part of the investigation,” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said.
The U.S. is continually revising its assessments of the extent of the attacks as new information is obtained, Nauert said. An investigation has not been completed.
The announcement that the attacks – in which a potential covert sonic device caused a series of issues, including permanent hearing loss – comes after the union representing American diplomats said that mild traumatic brain injury was among the diagnoses given to diplomats victimized in the attack.
The American Foreign Service Association said additional symptoms had included brain swelling, severe headaches, loss of balance and “cognitive disruption.” (Read more from “Sonic Assault: More American Diplomats in Cuba Have Health Issues” HERE)

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Friday that the tense standoff between North Korea and the United States was on the verge of large-scale conflict and said it was a mistake to try to pressure Pyongyang over its nuclear missile programme.
Putin, who is due to attend a summit of the BRICS nations in China next week, wrote in an article published on the Kremlin’s web site ahead of his trip that he favoured negotiations with North Korea instead.
“It is essential to resolve the region’s problems through direct dialogue involving all sides without advancing any preconditions (for such talks),” Putin wrote.
“Provocations, pressure, and bellicose and offensive rhetoric is the road to nowhere.”
The situation on the Korean Peninsula had deteriorated so much that it was now “balanced on the verge of a large-scale conflict,” said the Russian leader. (Read more from “Putin Warns N. Korea Situation on Verge of ‘Large-Scale Conflict'” HERE)

Linda Sarsour, a progressive icon, anti-Semite, and terrorist apologist, continues her rise in the leadership of America’s radical Islamic organizations.
Fresh from promoting conspiracy theories about Jewish control of the media, Women’s March leader Linda Sarsour will continue speaking at events hosted by these fringe Islamic outfits, while surrounded by nefarious characters that seek to undermine the American way of life.
She is listed as a featured speaker for the upcoming Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America’s (MAS-ICNA) combined 2017 convention in Chicago, Illinois.
Federal prosecutors have described the Muslim American Society (MAS) as an “overt arm” of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), which also has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, advocates for a global Islamic caliphate that is ruled by Sharia law.
Sarsour will share a platform with many who share her extremist views.
Imam Suhaib Webb of the Islamic Society of Boston is listed as a featured speaker. Webb, who was once a close friend of deceased al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki, is the leader of a congregation that has drawn over a dozen suspected or convicted terrorists.
Hamza Tzortzis, another panelist at the coming convention, has endorsed the death penalty for leaving Islam and/or insulting Islam. He views homosexuality as a “criminal act” akin to rape and murder. Tzortzis advocates for an Islamic State, using “offensive jihad,” or outright violence, to create a Sharia-compliant society. He has also defended child marriage and wife beating.
Jasser Auda, another confirmed speaker, has several ties to the global Muslim Brotherhood. Like Sarsour, he often complains about how he is being undermined by “Zionist agendas.”
Omar Suleiman, a preacher who remains immensely popular at Muslim Brotherhood-aligned events, has called homosexuality a “disease” and a “repugnant shameless sin,” in advocating for the deaths of homosexuals under Islamic law. Suleiman has hinted that he understands the practice of “honor killing” family members.
Jonathan Brown, who will also speak at the event, made waves earlier this year after delivering a lecture at Georgetown University in which he endorsed slavery and rape as moral Islamic concepts.
This is but a small sample of the individuals whom Sarsour — who continues to be represented as a freedom fighter by countless left-wing politicians, pundits, and activists — will share a stage with. (For more from the author of “Leftist Icon to Speak at Radical Islamic Confab” please click HERE)
Surrounded by members of the clergy, President Donald Trump signed a declaration Friday designating Sunday as a day of prayer for the victims of Hurricane Harvey.
“From the beginning of our nation, Americans have joined together during times of great need to ask for God’s blessing and God’s guidance,” Trump said.
“It’s going to be a very special day. I don’t know when this was done last, but it’s been a long time ago,” Trump said to the clergy with him in the Oval Office.
Before signing the declaration, Trump praised the response to the crises caused by the hurricane.
“Friend helping friend, neighbor helping neighbor, stranger helping stranger: We’ve seen it perhaps more so than at any time so vividly, at least during Hurricane Harvey,” Trump said.
“When we look at Texas and Louisiana, we see the American spirit of service embodied by countless men and women. Brave first responders have rescued those stranded in drowning cars and rising water,” he said.
Trump singled out the Coast Guard for praise.
“And I have to tell you, I’ve watched the Coast Guard; thousands of lives have been saved by our great Coast Guard. They have done incredible work in the most vicious seas.”
The proclamation urged all Americans to join in prayer on Sunday.
“As response and recovery efforts continue, and as Americans provide much needed relief to the people of Texas and Louisiana, we are reminded of scripture’s promise that ‘God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.’ Melania and I are grateful to everyone devoting time, effort and resources to the ongoing response, recovery and rebuilding efforts. We invite all Americans to join us as we continue to pray for those who have lost family members or friends and for those who are suffering in this time of crisis,” the proclamation said.
The nation has been united in the effort to support Texas and Louisiana, Trump added in the proclamation.
“Individuals of every background are striving for the same goal: to aid and comfort people facing devastating losses. As Americans we know that no challenge is too great for us to overcome — no challenge,” he wrote.
“We invite all Americans to join us as we continue to pray for those who have lost family members and friends and for those who are suffering from this great crisis,” he wrote.
In his proclamation, Trump noted that Americans uniting in a day of prayer is a tradition older than the nation itself.
“This tradition dates to June 12, 1775, when the Continental Congress proclaimed a day of prayer following the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and April 30, 1789, when President George Washington, during the Nation’s first presidential inauguration, asked Americans to pray for God’s protection and favor,” the proclamation said.
On Thursday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott declared a day of prayer in Texas.
His proclamation noted that “throughout our history, Texans have been strengthened, assured and lifted up through prayer,” adding that “it is right and fitting that the people of Texas should join with their fellow residents and with others from across the country and around the world to seek God’s wisdom for ourselves and our leaders and ask for His merciful intervention and healing in this time of crisis.” (For more from the author of “Trump Declares Sunday Day of Prayer: ‘God Is Our Refuge and Strength'” please click HERE)

Major pro-life forces in Canada have no criticism of new Conservative leader Andrew Scheer’s position on abortion: which is to never discuss it, even though he say he’s pro-life himself.
As the National Post reports, Scheer named his “shadow cabinet” on Wednesday and excluded the most socially conservative and vocally pro-life Member of Parliament (MP), Brad Trost.
Trost, who ran against Scheer in the Conservative leadership race, told the National Post on Thursday that he can’t complain: “You know, I was actually struck by how much continuity there was.”
But vice president of REAL Women Canada Gwen Landolt says Scheer “is playing a dangerous game.” Landolt told The Daily Caller Friday that the opposition leader is turning his back on some of his core supporters.
“Mr. Scheer would never be leader of the party if not for the votes of Mr. Trosts’s social conservative supporters,” she said. (Read more from “Canadian Conservatives Promise Not to Push for Abortion Restrictions” HERE)
