Prosecutor Accuses Prince Andrew of ‘Groping Girls Right out in the Open’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The attorney general for the U.S. Virgin Islands said it is hard to investigate the alleged sex crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew because of attempts to silence victims.

In an interview with Vanity Fair last week, the top prosecutor for the island, Denise George, said nondisclosure agreements enforced by the Epstein estate has made her investigation nearly impossible. She added that the agreements are being used to “conceal the criminal activity of Epstein and his associates who are still there.”

One such incident, according to George, includes an allegation that Andrew would openly grope underage girls.

“An employee told me that he saw Prince Andrew on a balcony out at Little St. James groping girls right out in the open,” the prosecutor said. “He said he remembered walking up to him and saying, ‘Good morning, your Highness.’” (Read more from “Prosecutor Accuses Prince Andrew of ‘Groping Girls Right out in the Open'” HERE)

Trump Campaign Reacts to Report Bloomberg Could Tap Hillary to Be His VP

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s campaign reacted to rumblings of Mike Bloomberg considering Hillary Clinton as a running mate Saturday, arguing that the Democratic establishment was “once again” trying to “steal” the nomination from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Trump’s campaign and White House teams presented a united message on the news, which was first reported by Matt Drudge. . .

“Hillary apparently can’t resist trying to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders a second time,” said Erin Perrine, deputy communications director for the Trump campaign.

“It appears that Bloomberg is colluding with Hillary to once again steal the Democrat nomination from Bernie,” Republican strategist and former White House official Andy Surabian told the Daily Caller. “Did anti-establishment Dems really think the establishment oligarchs in their party were just gonna roll over in the face of Bernie’s revolution?”

Many Democrats accused Clinton’s 2016 campaign of stealing the nomination from Sanders, resulting in some reforms to the Party’s 2020 primary process. Central to the controversy were the party’s super-delegates, who enter the national convention free to vote for any candidate, whereas other delegates are bound by the results of their state primaries.

The U.S. Cut Its CO2 Emissions More Than Any Other Country in the World in 2019

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Mail. Today, the International Energy Agency released its report on global CO2 emissions, which totaled 33 gigatonnes in 2019.

The figure matched the total global emissions for 2018, which were the highest ever recorded in human history.

In spite of the dire figures, the IEA claimed the findings were ‘grounds for optimism,’ pointing to the fact that total emissions hadn’t risen over all, while the global economy had grown by 2.9 percent, suggesting economic prosperity can continue even with a focus on managing greenhouse gases.

According to IEA Executive Director Faith Birol, the report, ‘is evidence that clean energy transitions are underway – and it’s also a signal that we have the opportunity to meaningfully move the needle on emissions through more ambitious policies and investments.’

The report splits CO2 emissions into two main groups: those from advanced economies, meaning the United States, the European Union, and Japan; and those that come from the rest of the world. (Read more from “The U.S. Cut Its CO2 Emissions More Than Any Other Country in the World in 2019” HERE)

Delta Airlines “Investing” $1 Billion to Reduce CO2 Emissions

By David Koenig. Delta Air Lines said Friday it will invest $1 billion over the next 10 years in measures designed to offset climate-warming carbon emissions from its planes.

Delta said the money would go into things such as boosting fuel efficiency and investing in efforts to remove carbon from the atmosphere by planting trees and restoring wetlands.

Aviation accounts for about 2% of global carbon emissions, but those emissions are rising with the growth in air travel. Airline industry officials worry about the emergence of flight-shaming — reminding people of airplanes’ toll on the environment — and its potential to reduce demand for air travel.

California Could Go Through All of February Without a Significant Rain Storm for the First Time Since 1864. a Photo From Space Reveals Why.

/0 Comments/in , /by

February should be the heart of California’s rainy season — but this month, there’s no rain.

The image above, taken by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite on February 11, offers a visual explanation for the weird weather.

The photo shows a giant high-pressure ridge over the Pacific Ocean that’s keeping storm clouds away from the California coast. The ridge is sending that wind and rain towards the Pacific Northwest instead. . .

Margaret Mooney, education director at CIMSS, told Business Insider that this is “an unusual, persistent weather pattern that’s working against California right now.”

The ridge is the edge of a warmer, high-pressure system that began mid-January. Meteorologists expect it to continue for the rest of the month. If February ends without a significant storm in California (high winds and heavy rain or snowfall), it would be the first time in over 150 years that the month is dry.

Locust Swarm: UN Warns of Food Crisis in Africa

/0 Comments/in , /by

The East African region could be on the verge of a food crisis if huge swarms of locusts devouring crops and pasture are not brought under control, a top UN official has told the BBC.

A massive food assistance may be required, Dominique Burgeon, director of emergencies for the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), said.

Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda are affected.

Efforts to control the infestation have so far not been effective.

Aerial spraying of pesticides is the most effective way of fighting the swarms but countries in the region do not have the right resources. (Read more from “Locust Swarm: UN Warns of Food Crisis in Africa” HERE)

MIT: Hackers Could Alter Ballots in Widely Used Voting App

/0 Comments/in , /by

An internet voting app that has been used in pilots in West Virginia, Denver, Oregon and Utah has vulnerabilities that could allow hackers to change a person’s vote without detection, according to researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The analysis of the Voatz app, which has mostly been used for absentee voters and overseas military personnel, found that attackers could “alter, stop or expose how an individual has voted.” . . .

“We all have an interest in increasing access to the ballot, but in order to maintain trust in our elections system, we must assure that voting systems meet the high technical and operation security standards before they are put in the field,” Daniel Weitzner, an MIT scientist who oversaw the report, said Thursday.

Trump Deploying ‘Elite Tactical Agents’ to Sanctuary Cities

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump is deploying a group of “elite tactical agents” to sanctuary cities across the United States to increase the number of arrests of criminal illegal aliens, a report states. . .

The BORTAC agents are expected to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents with deportation operations between February and May in an effort to increase arrests of criminal illegal aliens by 35 percent, according to emails read to the Times. . .

The added BORTAC agents aiding ICE with arrests of criminal illegal aliens comes as federal immigration officials reportedly requested more help in the sanctuary cities that shield fugitives from deportation.

Most recently, the Trump administration has released a full-fledged federal campaign to take on sanctuary jurisdictions. At the Justice Department, Attorney General William Barr has filed lawsuits against the sanctuary state of New Jersey and the sanctuary county of King County, Washington for their obstruction of national immigration law.

Embarrassing: 2020 Dem Can’t Name President of Mexico

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) could not name the president of Mexico when asked to do so by a Telemundo reporter in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday evening.

Earlier this year, Klobuchar voted for the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in the Senate, noting the importance of Mexico to the U.S. economy:

Canada and Mexico are Minnesota’s two biggest trading partners, and I recently voted to approve the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) on trade. I supported USMCA since, with the additionally negotiated pro-labor and environmental changes, as well as the elimination of a provision that would have benefitted pharmaceutical companies at the expense of consumers, I felt the agreement provided much needed stability and economic opportunity for American farmers, producers, and consumers. A North American trading bloc is also an essential strategy to competing with China on a global scale.

However, when quizzed by Telemundo, she could not remember the name of Mexico’s president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (or AMLO, as he is colloquially known).

Klobuchar was interviewed by Telemundo following Thursday night’s League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) presidential forum, which Breitbart News covered. (Read more from “Embarrassing: 2020 Dem Can’t Name President of Mexico” HERE)

In Maryland, You Can Release MS-13 Murderers, but You Can’t Release… Balloons?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Balloons? Bad! Illegal alien MS-13 murderers? Good!

Is that the message Maryland’s politicians are sending to its taxpayers?

Maryland’s urban areas are in the midst of the worst crime crisis ever, even rivaling the crime waves of the 1970s and 1980s. But fear not, they are getting tough – really tough – on those soft round things that bring joy to the eyes of any toddler.

On Monday, the Maryland Senate passed a bill 38-3 (SB28) that would prohibit balloon “releases” in the state unless they’re for scientific research. Violators above the age of 13 will face a penalty of up to $250. That’s certainly a lot more than the teen carjackers terrorizing my suburban Baltimore neighborhood pay when they get released with no prison time. The bill now heads to the House, where Democrats have an insurmountable super-majority.

With record homicides both in Baltimore City and Baltimore County, there has not been a single piece of legislation passed this session dealing with tougher sentencing and closing the criminal loopholes that allow the release of so many violent criminals into the human ecosystem. But it’s worse than that.

The same Maryland Democrats who have a sense of urgency to act out against what they see as harmful balloon releases are also championing the release of even the worst criminal alien gang members.

Maryland has a Salvadoran illegal alien gang problem of epic proportions, perhaps the worst in the country, especially in sanctuary jurisdictions like Montgomery and Prince George’s counties. The Washington Post observed the MS-13 problem there was “fueled by fresh recruits from an unprecedented wave of almost 200,000 unaccompanied minors from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.” Baltimore City is also a notorious sanctuary for criminal aliens.

Last year, Prince George’s County passed a bill, in contravention to federal law and against the warnings of its own police department, to prohibit county officials from working with ICE in any capacity, even for the detention and removal of the worst criminal aliens.

In May 2018, two MS-13 members were arrested on murder charges but were released despite an ICE detainer and barely served time in prison. Almost exactly a year later, they were arrested again for first-degree murder of a 14-year-old, and authorities still wouldn’t honor an ICE detainer!

Last year, Montgomery County became a national laughingstock when a local reporter revealed that it had released numerous illegal alien rapists, including child rapists, back into the communities in defiance of ICE detainers.

Yet there is no sense of urgency in Maryland’s legislature to deal with the ultimate pollution of our streets – the release of other countries’ dangerous gang members who prey on children. Where do we see their passion? Fining kids who release balloons.

We already knew that liberals have no regard for the safety of our communities and children. Now we know they also want to take the fun out of their lives. (For more from the author of “In Maryland, You Can Release MS-13 Murderers, but You Can’t Release… Balloons?” please click HERE)

New Details Emerge in Ilhan Omar’s Marriage Scandal

/0 Comments/in , , /by

New details involving far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) marital scandal emerged on Friday after a British publication reported that Omar is paying her ex-husband to stay quiet about her alleged affair.

The Daily Mail reported that Omar’s husband, Ahmed Hirsi, “discovered the truth about her torrid affair with her chief fundraiser [Tim Mynett] when he went to her Washington D.C. apartment last spring and found the lovers lounging around in pajamas.” . . .

“He suspected she was cheating but she kept telling him he was paranoid,” a source told The Daily Mail. “He told her he wanted to move down to D.C. to be with her but she insisted he should stay in Minneapolis with the children. Eventually he surprised her down there and his worst fears were confirmed.”

Sources told The Daily Mail that Omar allegedly agreed to a financial settlement with Hirsi that would pay him tens of thousands of dollars per year, up to $250,000 total, “but only if he did not speak publicly about the marriage breakdown.” . . .

The source said that the embarrassment that Omar has caused the Somalia community comes from the alleged affair, her decision to hold an event at a distillery, and her embrace of LGBT rights. (Read more from “New Details Emerge in Ilhan Omar’s Marriage Scandal” HERE)
