Elderly Man Finds Son After Discovering Hidden Letter

/0 Comments/in , /by

An elderly Grand Rapids man has finally met his son.

The man had tried having kids all his life, but thought it was a life goal he never accomplished.

A letter was sent by the child’s mother more than 50 years ago that told him of his then 5-year-old son. That man is now 61-years-old.

It was a message believed to have been hidden by his wife for decades.

Tony Trapani, 81, said that after his wife passed away, he was cleaning out one of her old filing cabinets when he came across the letter. (Read more about the man who found his son after he finds a hidden letter HERE)

Alabama Smacks Down Sharia Law (+video)

/3 Comments/in , /by

By The Political Insider. The people from the great state of Alabama took a huge proactive step in the last election to protect themselves from creeping Sharia. As more followers of Islam move to America, the threat has become real, but Alabama just said, “ENOUGH!”

Amendment One, an amendment to the state constitution that prohibits foreign law being used to decide cases in Alabama courts, has passed easily and will be added to the Alabama Constitution.

Eric Johnston, the Birmingham attorney who drafted the amendment, felt vindicated after it was described as an attack on Muslims.

“I put in about three years of work on it,” Johnston said, after AP and Politico declared that the amendment passed. The amendment passed by a wide margin of about 72 percent to 28 percent with 96 percent of precincts counted . . .

Certain groups have called this amendment racist. But the problem is, so much of Islam’s teachings are incompatible with civilized society. This amendment draws a clear line in the sand that 14th century thinking cannot be protected by law. (Read more about Muslims trying to pass Sharia law in Alabama HERE)

Christian Nurse Tries to Help Muslim Co-Worker, Gets 9 Month Work Suspension

By Conservative Tribune. Victoria Wasteney, a 37-year-old nurse, said a prayer for her co-worker. What happened next is a saga you may not believe – unless, of course, you’ve paid attention to the news.

The senior occupational therapist at an East London mental hospital said the prayer in the name of a Muslim co-worker who was going through personal difficulties. The simple prayer earned her a nine-month suspension from her job and has become the subject of a lawsuit.

The co-worker in question is named Enya Nawaz. According to Wasteney, the two were friends, and had spent significant time talking about the similarities between Christianity and Islam . . .

“God, I trust You will bring peace and You will bring healing,” she said, remembering the content of the prayer. “It was a natural and open thing for me to do and she didn’t object in any way.”

That changed once Nawaz was, according to Wasteney, pressured into filing a claim against her by other Muslims. (Read more from this story HERE)

Teenager Accused of Killing, Raping Teacher; Court Video Shows Shooting

/0 Comments/in , /by

By WCVB. A teenager accused of killing his high school math teacher told police he knocked her out with a “karate chop” before slicing her neck two times with a box cutter, a police detective said Friday in a pre-trial hearing.

But Philip Chism, now 15, denied raping the popular teacher, Colleen Ritzer, before killing her on Oct. 22, 2013, Danvers Det. Sgt. Phil Tansey said.

Tansey said Chism also helped investigators recover Ritzer’s body by showing on a map where he dumped it in the woods behind the school.

The detective’s statements come as a judge is considering a request by Chism’s lawyers to have his confession and other evidence seized from him the night he was detained tossed out as evidence before trial.

Superior Court Judge David Lowy made no ruling; the hearing is expected to continue later this month. (Read more about the teenager accused of killing his teacher HERE)

Man Relives Bone-Chilling Moment When a Neighbor Kicked Through His Door and Came at Him With a Machete

By Dave Urbanski. James Cvengros lived with the horrific memory for nearly a year — and then a few days ago in an Idaho courtroom he watched it unfold all over again…on video…for the very first time.

Cvengros, 29, had started to document the alarming behavior of his 54-year-old neighbor Twain Thomas — in case something goes wrong, he figured, visual evidence might help him out.

After all, one time Thomas reportedly kicked in Cvengros’ door over loud music. What could be next?

One day last February, Cvengros found out. Things were much worse in their Pocatello apartment building — windows breaking, other neighbors screaming — so he hit “record” and pointed his camera at his front door. (Read more from this story HERE)

Teenage ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ Arrested

By Emily Shapiro. The alleged crime spree of two runaway Kentucky teenagers stretched across the South before they were found early this morning . . .

According to the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office, “the process has begun” to extradite both teens “back to Kentucky to answer for multiple felony charges.”

The teens may also face charges in South Carolina. Chief Shaffer said Manning police have “minor” forgery charges against the teens for allegedly passing a forged check, but “back home is the best place for these teens to be.”

Shaffer said Friday, “We could pursue criminal charges against them, we just have to continue to wait. And once they’re found then we can look at the circumstances and decide if that would be something we’d want to pursue.” (Read more from this story HERE)

ISIS Leader Orders All Failed Fighters Executed

By Nadiah Sarsour. Some 56 members of ISIS learned their so-called “caliph” doesn’t tolerate losing in battle, according to reports which said Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had them executed after they survived a rout by Kurdish fighters.

Saed Mimousini, media spokesperson for the Kurdish Democratic Party, told Alsumaria news agency that Al-Baghdadi’s harsh decision came following their defeat at the hands of Peshmerga fighters in Kobar, south of the Kurdish capital Erbil.

“ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi executed 56 of his men after their defeat at the hands of the Peshmerga forces in the Cowir area south of Erbilm,” he said.

“Executions took place in the Al-Namrood, east Mosul,” he added, claiming that the “battles between ISIS and the Peshmerga south of Erbil killed 300 members of the Islamic State and injured nearly 102 others.” (Read more from this story HERE)

Listen to Muslim Call to Prayer at Duke University (+video)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Every Friday at 1 p.m. for three minutes, the Muslim call to prayer (played in the video below) will be blasted throughout campus on Duke University’s PA system. [Editor’s note: please see the update to this story HERE]

Duke, founded as an explicitly Christian college, is doing this under the guise of “religious pluralism.” But this is the same university that actually tried to cancel a pro-life event at their women’s center not so long ago.

After the Muslim call to prayer, how about having evangelical students get on the PA and quote John 3:16? Probably won’t happen. . .

Listen to the Muslim call to prayer to be broadcast throughout Duke University and this great exchange between Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffress and Fox News.

Fox Host Declares He is an Islamophobe

/10 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, Bob Beckel, a liberal member of Fox’s, The Five, declared on air that he is a proud Islamophobe.

The hosts of the show began to criticize the Muslim community for their refusal to condemn the terrorists who attacked Charlie Hebdo’s office and the kosher grocery store in Paris.

“If you say, ‘It’s not Islamic terror,’ then when we kill terrorists, or I talk about terrorism, or we talk about terrorists, it’s not about Islam,” co-host Greg Gutfeld said. “You can’t accuse me of Islamophobia anymore if it’s not about Islam.”

“I just wrote a piece for USA Today that’ll be in next week. It said, ‘I’m an Islamophobe,’” Beckel chimed in later. “That’s right, you can call me that all you want.” (Read more about the self-proclaimed Islamophobe HERE)

Is Islamophobia a Myth?

By Brendan O’Neill. . . Across Europe, among the right-thinking sections of society, among the political classes, the response to the massacre of the cartoonists and satirists has been the same: to panic about how Them, the native masses, especially the more right-wing sections of the French population, might respond to it. The blood on the floor of the Charlie Hebdo offices was still wet when brow-furrowed observers started saying: “Oh no, the Muslims! Will they be attacked?” It’s the same after every terrorist attack: from 9/11 to 7/7 in London to last year’s Sydney siege to Paris today: Liberals’ instant, almost Pavlovian response to Islamist terror attacks in the West is to worry about a violent uprising of the ill-educated against Muslims. The uprising never comes, but that doesn’t halt their fantasy fears. What’s it all about?

. . .Islamophobia is a myth. Sure, some folks in Europe and elsewhere no doubt dislike Muslims, just as other losers hate the Irish or blacks or women. But the idea that there is a climate of Islamophobia, a culture of hot-headed, violent-minded hatred for Muslims that could be awoken and unleashed by the next terror attack, is an invention. Islamophobia is a code word for mainstream European elites’ fear of their own populations, of their native hordes, whom they imagine to be unenlightened, prejudiced, easily led by the tabloid media, and given to outbursts of spite and violence. The thing that keeps the Islamophobia panic alive is not actual violence against Muslims but the right-on politicos’ ill-founded yet deeply held view of ordinary Europeans, especially those of a working-class variety, as racist and stupid. This is the terrible irony of the Islamophobia panic: The fearers of anti-Muslim violence claim to be challenging prejudice but actually they reveal their own prejudices, their distrust of and disdain for those who come from the other side of the tracks, read different newspapers, hold different beliefs, live different lives. They accuse stupid white communities of viewing Muslims as an indistinguishable mob who threaten the fabric of European society, which is exactly what they think of stupid white communities.

As New Video Emerges of Brutal Attacks, Obama Doubles-Down in Refusing to Describe Paris Attacks as ‘Islamic Terrorism’

/18 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Breitbart By Charlie Spiering. Press Secretary Josh Earnest defended President Obama and White House officials for refusing to describe the terrorist attacks in Paris as a consequence of radical Islamic terrorism.

Earnest explained to White House reporters during the press briefing that this is a question of “accuracy.”

“We want to describe exactly what happened. These are individuals who carried out an act of terrorism, and they later tried to justify that act of terrorism by invoking the religion of Islam in their own deviant view of it,” he said.

Critics of Obama have questioned his refusal to identify the terrorist actions as an act of radical Islamic terrorism. (Read more from this story HERE)

Surviving Staff of Charlie Hebdo Publishes Defiant Issue TODAY

By Fran Blandy. The surviving staff of Charlie Hebdo will publish a defiant issue with a Prophet Mohammed cartoon on the cover Wednesday, a week after jihadist gunmen killed 12 people at the satirical weekly’s Paris office.

France’s Prime Minister Manuel Valls on Tuesday declared a “war against terrorism” and, amid a national outpouring of emotion, a packed parliament sang a stirring rendition of the national “Marseillaise” anthem, a first since the end of World War I.

The special sitting came after President Francois Hollande led a solemn ceremony paying tribute to three police officers killed in France’s bloodiest week in decades, while four Jews who were shot dead in one of the attacks in Paris were laid to rest in Israel.

“Our great and beautiful France will never break, will never yield, never bend” in the face of the Islamist threat that is “still there, inside and outside” the country, Hollande told weeping families and uniformed colleagues at the ceremony. (Read more from this story HERE)

Feds: Cincinnati Bartender Plotted to Kill John Boehner

/3 Comments/in , /by

Ebola, evil voices and the devil.

Those are just a few of the things a Butler County bartender cited as reasons he was going to kill House Speaker John Boehner this past fall, federal agents said.

Michael Robert Hoyt, 44, was indicted Jan. 7 on charges of threatening to murder the congressman in a plot authorities said included poisoning his drink at a country club.

Hoyt served drinks to Boehner for more than five years at the Wetherington Country Club in West Chester and was known as “Bartender Mike” to employees there.

Hoyt called police on Oct. 29, a week after being fired from the club, and blamed Boehner for his woes, police said. (Read more about the bartender who plotted to kill John Boehner HERE)
