Actress’ Meltdown Over Kavanaugh Is the Symbolic Liberal Freak out That’s Occurring Throughout the Country

/0 Comments/in , /by

Actress Alyssa Milano is known as an outspoken liberal activist. It’s no secret and she doesn’t try to hide her political affiliation.

After the Senate confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on Saturday, Milano took to Twitter to express herself. Prepare yourself. It’s a bit much (as with all of her typical liberal meltdowns).

Nothing is happening under any of our noses. And Trump isn’t hiding it. Whether or not someone pays attention to politics is their choice.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twenty people were tragically killed in a collision Saturday after a fully-occupied limousine car careened through an intersection in upstate New York, hitting a parked car and two bystanders.

A 2001 Ford Excursion limousine sped through an intersection into Apple Barrel Country Store and Cafe’s parking lot, striking a car and two bystanders near the vehicle, New York state police reported in a Sunday press conference. The crash occurred in Schoharie, a small town roughly 160 miles north of New York City.

“This is a wonderful, small-knit community of people who care about each other,” Apple Barrel employee Liz Gallup told USA Today Sunday. “People are coming in, they are hugging, they are sharing. And they want to know that we are OK.”

The two bystanders were killed, as well as the limousine driver was killed, according to state police. All the victims were adults.

Professors Bully Student Into Silence After She Brought up Abortion in Class

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two profs at the University of the Fraser Valley browbeat a Christian student for almost an hour for bringing up abortion in the classroom.

Then-student Valerie Flokstra secretly recorded that meeting which took place last year. Former classmates who recently heard that recording were shocked by what they heard and urged her to make it public. A full transcript of the recording she made of her meeting with the two profs is available on National Campus Life Network’s blog.

Professor Nancy Norman and Department Head Vandy Britton ultimately told Flokstra that speaking about abortion made the classroom “unsafe.”

“So we don’t put forward ideas that are… intentionally or not… that are hateful. And I think sometimes abortion is one of those contentious issues that can make someone feel threatened on both sides,” said Britton.

Flokstra said that such comments made it appear as if the “program is about feeling safe” instead “about learning.” She said that she thought universities were “supposed to be places with freedom of speech and sharing ideas.” (Read more from “Professors Bully Student Into Silence After She Brought up Abortion in Class” HERE)

Accused Doxxer of GOP Senators Allegedly Threatened to Publish Lawmakers’ Children’s Health Info

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Democratic congressional aide accused of publishing the private information of at least three Republican lawmakers allegedly threatened to leak senators’ children’s health information if a witness told anyone about his activities.

Jackson Cosko, who recently worked for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, was arrested for allegedly posting the personal information (or “doxxing”) of a number of senators including Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Orrin Hatch, R-Utah on Wikipedia — with information such as their home addresses and phone numbers. Graham, Lee and Hatch’s information was published on Thursday.

According to a sworn statement by Capitol Police Captain Jason Bell, a witness Tuesday saw Cosko at a computer in a senator’s office, where he used to work, a day after two other unnamed senators’ information had been put on Wikipedia. Cosko worked for other Democratic senators including Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and former Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. While earlier reports identified Cosko as an intern for Jackson Lee, his lawyer said that he was working as a fellow in her office, paid by an outside institution.

Sources familiar with the case tell Fox News Cosko was in Sen. Hassan’s office, where he was not authorized to be and was caught using a login he was not authorized to use. Cosko earlier was let go by Senator Hassan’s office. A spokesman for Hassan says she “strongly denounces the alleged actions.”

According to Bell’s statement, Cosko is alleged to have been confronted by the staffer and then walked out. The staffer then called police. Hours later the witness received an email from “[email protected]” saying: “If you tell anyone I will leak it all. Emails signal conversations gmails. Senators children’s health information and socials.” (Read more from “Accused Doxxer of GOP Senators Allegedly Threatened to Publish Lawmakers’ Children’s Health Info” HERE)

Donald Trump: Kavanaugh Allegations Show It’s a ‘Very Scary Time for Young Men in America’

By USA Today. In the wake of allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that this is “a very scary time for young men in America.”

Trump responded to a reporter’s question on what his message is to young men in light of the Kavanaugh situation; the president said it is “scary” because “you can be (found) guilty of something you may not be guilty of.”

The FBI is currently investigating sexual assault allegations against the current federal appeals court judge. . .

Speaking with reporters on the South Lawn at the White House, Trump also said he hopes the Senate will vote to confirm Kavanaugh by the end of the week but acknowledged it depends on the result of the ongoing investigation.

Christine Blasey Ford, who testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, has accused Kavanaugh of pinning her to a bed and groping her at a house party in 1982 when he was 17 and she was 15. Kavanaugh vehemently denies the allegations. (Read more from “Donald Trump: Kavanaugh Allegations Show It’s a ‘Very Scary Time for Young Men in America'” HERE)

Five-Year-Old Allegedly Sexually Assaulted in School Bathroom Because of Secret Transgender Policy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education has opened an investigation into a Georgia elementary school for its handling of a sexual assault that allegedly took place in an elementary school bathroom after a district-wide policy was enacted allowing male students to enter the girls’ bathroom.

On the evening of November 16, 2017, Pascha Thomas’s five-year-old daughter complained of vaginal pain. That’s when her daughter said she had been sexually assaulted by a male classmate in the bathroom at Oakhurst Elementary School in Decatur, Georgia earlier that week.

By her daughter’s account, she had asked the teacher if she could be excused from class to use the restroom. When she was coming out of the bathroom stall, the child said, a male classmate who had followed her into the bathroom was waiting for her. . .

The next day, Pascha went to report her daughter’s story to school officials, which was relayed to the Decatur Police Department. It was determined that the Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) would coordinate services for her daughter and the boy who allegedly assaulted her. Pascha took her daughter to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Hospital to be examined later that day, where she again complained of vaginal pain.

She heard nothing from school officials for several weeks, during which Pascha says they dodged her repeated calls and ignored her requests to speak with them. When they finally agreed to meet with her on December 8, Pascha learned the boy her daughter says assaulted her identifies as “gender fluid.” He had been allowed to use the girl’s bathroom due to a district-wide policy change that allowed students to use whatever bathroom they felt was “correct,” and that the policy would remain in place — allowing him to continue using the same restroom as her daughter.

Man Caught on Video Kicking Pro-Life Woman During Peaceful Protest

/0 Comments/in , /by

Marie-Claire Bissonnette, a pro-life activist, was kicked by a pro-abortion man during the peaceful “Life Chain” event held across Canada Sunday. The altercation was caught on video and brought to the attention of Canadian authorities who, Bissonnette says, initially shrugged off the assault despite the video evidence she showed them.

“I warned people to shield their signs, he then proceeded to run up behind five of the participants (including a ten-year-old girl) and scribble with his markers on their backs, ruining their clothing,” she wrote. . .

As the video she took shows, he then asked her about abortion in cases of rape. When she answered that a woman should keep the baby, he roundhouse kicked her in the shoulder, knocking her phone to the ground. . .

The man was later identified as Jordan Hunt, a hair stylist for Noble Studio 101. . .

“It has been brought to our attention that Jordan Hunt has been caught on camera assaulting an innocent bystander at a pro-life rally,” they wrote. “We don’t condone his actions and he has been let go. We believe that everyone has a right to an opinion and the right to voice their opinion without fear of physical violence.” (Read more from “Man Caught on Video Kicking Pro-Life Woman During Peaceful Protest” HERE)

Here’s How Amazon’s $15 Minimum Wage Could Cause Some Employees to Earn Less

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amazon announced that it was raising minimum wage for all employees to $15 per hour earlier this week, but The Guardian reported that the increase comes with a catch that could end up costing some employees in the long run.

The $15 minimum wage wasn’t just a straight wage increase–it was a trade off. In exchange for increasing the minimum amount employees can earn, Amazon also took away incentive pay and stock option awards, which are extremely valuable at a company like Amazon.

“This is basically a stealth tax by the employer on its own wage increase,” said Tim Roache, general secretary of the British trade union GMB, according to The Guardian. “If Jeff Bezos — the richest man in the world — really wants to give hardworking staff a pay raise, he should let them keep their share options as well as increasing their hourly rate.” . . .

According to The Guardian, warehouse workers previously got an Amazon share worth nearly $2,000 at the end of each year, and an additional share at the end of every five-year period of employment. Employees could also earn up to 8 percent of their monthly income by way of incentive bonuses. . .

An employee earning $15.25 an hour who has worked for Amazon for more than three years in Arizona crunched the numbers. Although he is getting a $1 an hour raise, which would equate to as much as $2,080 in additional pay a year, he said he could have earned a few thousands of dollars more from the incentive programs. “Amazon isn’t giving its employees a raise, they’re taking money from us,” he told Yahoo Finance. “It only looks good if folks don’t know the truth.”

American Imam Deletes Post After Suggesting Sharia Law Should Apply in Weighing Dr. Ford Allegations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Imam Zaid Shakir, the Muslim-American co-founder of Zaytuna College in Berkeley, California deleted a post on his on his popular Facebook page after receiving backlash for suggesting Sharia law should be applied in judging if Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh are credible.

“I do not support the appointment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of the United States,” he began. “My position, however, is based neither on the accusations nor the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.” . . .

Shakir went on to explain that he believes Ford’s allegations “cannot be used as evidence against Judge Kavanaugh.” He based his reasoning on “Muslim teachings” from the Qur’an, citing verse 24:4 which says “Those who bring charges of sexual improprieties against chaste women, then fail to come forth with four corroborating witnesses, lash them eighty times and never again accept their testimony. Such are truly corrupt.” . . .

“The honor these verses are designed to protect is real, as are the condemnations they issue, as well as the punishments they threaten,” Shakir wrote. “If anyone can randomly produce vile accusations against anyone they please, and the only standard assessing the veracity of those accusations is our subjective feeling concerning the credibility of the accuser or the accused, none of us would be safe against the impugnment of his or her honor.”

Shakir warned against attacking Ford, but claimed “we are to remain silent and if we chose to speak it should be along the lines of the skepticism mentioned in the above-quotes verses and not in the voice of blind acceptance.” (Read more from “American Imam Deletes Post After Suggesting Sharia Law Should Apply in Weighing Dr. Ford Allegations” HERE)

Dentists Accused in Las Vegas Resort Rape Case Have Charges Against Them Dropped

By Fox News. . .Lawyers for the four dentists maintained all along the allegations were false. They predicted in August the case would be dropped once prosecutors reviewed the video evidence.

The dentists were already free on their own recognizance and none of them attended Monday’s hearing. The three Edalat brothers released a statement following the hearing.

“We are so grateful to the justice system for recognizing that we were the victims in this case,” the statement said. “We knew when the facts came out that the vicious allegations would be exposed as lies and our good names would be cleared. We want to thank our families, friends and lawyers for sticking by us through this horrific ordeal.”

The statement added: “At this sensitive moment in our history, we believe that women should be respected and heard and believed. But as this case shows, it is also important to keep a critical eye on those willing to use the (#MeToo) movement for their own selfish motives and remember that innocent until proven guilty is one of our country’s bedrock principles.” (Read more from “Dentists Accused in Las Vegas Resort Rape Case Have Charges Against Them Dropped” HERE)
