Video: Charging Bison Tosses​ Fleeing ​9-Year-Old Girl Into the Air at Yellowstone

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A 9-year-old girl was the victim of a charging bison at Yellowstone National Park on Monday, when a free-roaming bull sent the child airborne in an attack caught on video. . .

Footage of the incident went viral, racking up millions of views within days. The clip taken by a bystander shows the animal calmly walking on a hill before breaking into a canter, charging the girl and sending her head over heels several feet in the air.

On Tuesday, the National Park Service confirmed that the incident occurred near the Old Faithful Geyser area, reporting that “according to witnesses, a group of approximately 50 people were within 5-10 feet of the bison for at least 20 minutes before eventually causing the bison to charge the group.”

The little girl from Odessa, Florida, was injured but treated by park emergency medical personnel before being taken to and released from a nearby clinic. The extent of her injuries was not disclosed, but the incident is still under investigation. No citations have been issued in relation to the episode.

Following Monday’s attack, park “officials stressed that people should stay at least 25 yards, or 75 feet, away from bison and other large animals such as elk, bighorn sheep, deer, moose and coyotes,” The Washington Post reported. Visitors who stumble upon a wolf or bear should keep even further distance, to 100 yards, or 300 feet.

Outrage Over U.S. Citizen Being Detained for Weeks by Border Patrol, Then the TRUTH Comes Out

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. In a story that’s sparked outrage — including from one of the leaders of the #AbolishICE contingent of the Democratic Party, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) — a young man who appears to be a U.S. citizen was detained for three weeks by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) after crossing the border with his younger brother, who is a Mexican citizen. But as more details have emerged, the reason CBP has delayed in releasing the young man has begun to make a lot more sense. . .

The Dallas Morning News article tweeted out by Ocasio-Cortez reports that Francisco Erwin Galicia, an 18-year-old whose birth certificate says he was born in Dallas, has been in CBP custody for more than three weeks after being detained at a border patrol checkpoint on June 27 along with his younger brother, who is a Mexican citizen, and a group of friends. The group was stopped because Marlon is a Mexican citizen. . .

The Washington Post has since done some more digging and uncovered details about the case which help explain why CBP has delayed in releasing the young man: Francisco’s mother, a Mexican citizen living in Edinburg illegally, listed her son on a U.S. tourist visa as being born in Mexico. She also falsified information on his birth certificate.

“The reason it appears to have taken CBP and ICE so long to determine Galicia’s citizenship is because his mother, who is not a citizen, took out a U.S. tourist visa in his name while he was still a minor, falsely saying he was born in Mexico, Galan said,” the Post reports. “His mother, Sanjuana, told The Post that CBP discovered the visa after fingerprinting her son. The conflicting documents only fueled the agency’s suspicion that Galicia’s U.S. documents were fake, Galan said.”

Sanjuana told the Post that she took out the falsified tourist visa for her son so he could travel back and forth across the border to visit family. The reason she couldn’t get him a passport, she explained, is that she entered a fictitious name for herself on his birth certificate. “The undocumented mother was unable to get him a U.S. passport because when Galicia was born, Galan said, she gave a different name for herself on his birth certificate,” the Post reports.

“U.S. Citizen” Released From Immigration Custody

By AP News. A … 18-year-old was released from immigration custody Tuesday after wrongfully being detained for more than three weeks.

Francisco Erwin Galicia left a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Pearsall, Texas, on Tuesday. His lawyer, Claudia Galan, confirmed he had been released, less than a day after The Dallas Morning News’ reporting about his case drew national attention.

ICE did not immediately comment. Nor did U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the Border Patrol, the agency that first detained Galicia. (Read more from “U.S. Citizen” Released From Immigration Custody” HERE)

WATCH: Ilhan Omar ‘Disgusted’ by Muslim Woman Asking Her to Condemn FGM

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) lambasted a female Muslim audience member Tuesday for asking her to renounce female genital mutilation (FGM), a practice common in Omar’s native Somalia.

Omar was reportedly taking questions an event for the Muslim Collective for Equitable Democracy event when Muslim audience member Ani Osman-Zonneveld of Muslims for Progressive Values asked Omar to condemn FGM.

Omar said she was “disgusted” by people who ask Muslim politicians specific questions on issues and groups embraced by extreme members of their religion – such as FGM, al-Qaeda, and Hamas – and called it a “waste” of time.

“I am, I think, quite disgusted I think to be honest that as Muslim legislators, we are constantly being asked to waste our time speaking to issues that other people are not asked to speak to because of the assumption exist that we somehow support and are for [the issue],” Omar said, according to BuzzFeed News.

She urged audience members to think twice before asking Muslim lawmakers questions, pressing them to ensure that it is a “proper question that they would probably ask any member of Congress, any legislator, [or] any politician.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar ‘Disgusted’ by Muslim Woman Asking Her to Condemn FGM” HERE)

Miss World America Strips Titleholder for ‘Supporting’ Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Twenty-year-old conservative activist and prominent Trump supporter Kathy Zhu was reportedly stripped of her Miss Michigan crown from the Miss World America Organization over past “insensitive” social media posts and her refusal to try on a hijab at a college event in 2018.

Zhu is a Chinese immigrant who moved to the United States at age five; she became popular in conservative circles for both her support for Donald Trump during the 2016 election and for fighting off students attempting to get her expelled from the University of Central Florida for refusing to try on a hijab — an event that allegedly helped get the conservative stripped of her beauty pageant accomplishments. . .

However, the student was soon informed by the organization via email that she would have to turn in her sash and crown and disassociate with the group over past “offensive, insensitive, and inappropriate” social media posts. . .

Zhu also responded via email to the organization over her ouster, pushing back on Miss World America’s apparent opposition to the conservative’s refusal to wear a hijab. “[W]hat is ‘insensitive’ is that women in the Middle East are getting STONED TO DEATH for refusing to obey their husband’s orders to wear hijabs,” she wrote. “A Muslim woman tried to FORCIBLY put a hijab on my head without my permission. I tweeted about it on my social media, and it got the attention of the media. Almost everyone was supportive of me refusing to be put in that situation.”

On Friday morning, Zhu thanked her supporters and announced that she will not be taking legal action against the organization because they have “suffered enough negative publicity.”

Key Witness In Mueller Investigation Indicted On Sex Trafficking, Child Porn Charges

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A key witness in former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation has been indicted on child pornography and sex trafficking charges, according to a three-count indictment unsealed on Friday in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

George Nader, 60, is “a wealthy Lebanese-American businessman and Middle East expert,” Politico reported, adding that Nader was indicted “on charges of importing child pornography and traveling with a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity.”

The Hill reported that Nader was a key witness in Mueller’s investigation and sat “for multiple interviews, including one that was conducted under a ‘proffer agreement’ — a potential signal that he believed he could be charged with crimes and spoke to prosecutors on the condition his statements wouldn’t be used against him.”

Nader was arrested in January 2018 when he arrived in the U.S. from Dubai. When federal law enforcement officials searched three iPhones that they obtained with a search warrant, they allegedly found child porn.

Politico added that “prosecutors filed a criminal complaint against Nader over the images in April 2018 but kept the charges under seal and never told his attorneys about them even as he continued to cooperate with Mueller’s probe,” lawyers said.

Bernie Sanders Single-Handedly Exposes the Democrats’ EXTREME Minimum Wage Fraud

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Bernie Sanders has some well-earned egg on his face after he cut campaign employees’ hours in order to meet their demands for a $15 an hour wage.

The move isn’t surprising to anyone with a basic grasp of how economics works. Mandating a higher wage doesn’t mean that the resources to pay for it are magically going to appear. It’s the same reason why the Congressional Budget Office predicted that the recent $15 minimum wage bill passed by the House could kill almost 4 million jobs. (It also might just be why a 2017 report found that pro-wage-hike politicians still like using unpaid intern labor.)

But this debate isn’t just theoretical or contained to Washington, D.C.; jacked-up forced minimum wages have cost people their jobs all over the country in recent years. Here’s just a small sample of the mountain of evidence that could have saved Sanders from this latest embarrassment:

Earlier this month, Restaurants Unlimited filed for bankruptcy, citing new wage costs.

Back in March, an upstate New York bartender said that Hollywood actresses “need to butt out” of New York’s wage debate while another explained that “immigrant support staff will be the first to be fired” if wages go up.

In 2018, Red Robin fired all of its busboys in order “to address the labor increases we’ve seen.”

When Seattle’s minimum wage went up to $13 per hour, a report found that it actually lowered low-wage earners’ income. A Seattle pizza guy loved the new $15 wage, right up until it cost him his job.

It’s already expensive to eat out in New York City. It got more expensive when they hiked up the minimum wage.

Walmart responded to the minimum wage campaign by adding a fleet of robots.

McDonald’s announced that it’s increasing kiosk use at its restaurants while giving up lobbying to keep wage costs low.

A former McDonald’s CEO warned back in 2016 that “it’s cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who’s inefficient making $15 an hour bagging French fries.”

Back in 2016, then-California Governor Jerry Brown admitted that raising the minimum wage to $15 “may not make [economic] sense,” given the evidence against it.

“Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws,” economist Thomas Sowell famously explained in “Basic Economics,” “and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they either lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force.”

Then again, if self-described socialists were to heed the economic lessons of history, they probably wouldn’t be socialists in the first place. (For more from the author of “Bernie Sanders Single-Handedly Exposes the Democrats’ Minimum Wage Fraud” please click HERE)

Revealed: The Democrats’ Blueprint to Steal 2020 from the Voters of America

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Democrats intend to steal the presidency in 2020. . .

Here’s three strategies they are implementing or have implemented

Participation in the process. This summer the State of New York attempted a two-step process to allow the maximum number of people to vote—whether they were legally allowed to or not. The one-sided, Democrat-controlled State bodies passed the issuing of driver’s licenses to non-citizens/illegal aliens. But that same group of Democrats also nearly passed the automatically completed voter registration of every license issued. Aliens would have had to “opt out.” Just in case they didn’t, the language also included a provision protecting the illegal voter and the authorities from any criminal wrongdoing. This measure passed one chamber, would’ve been signed by the governor, and had it not been for a true watchdog in the Assembly, would’ve already become law. With the enormous push by non-citizens storming our gates to get in, the corrupt powers incentivizing as much, you have to see the roadmap here could have dramatic impact anyway it is adopted.

The dishonest debate. I readily admit there is almost always a fair amount of exaggeration involved in presidential election cycles. But in the 2020 cycle there has existed two levels of dishonesty that is shockingly horrid. On one hand almost none of the things the Democratic candidates are saying are true. Capitalism hasn’t failed. America is not in decline. Our allies respect us more than at any time in the modern era (perhaps only beaten by the days just following 9/11). We have expanded safety, prosperity and liberty to every aspect of American life. The other layer of dishonesty is in the rhetoric of the new voices of the Democrat’s “fresh new faces.” “The Squad” and the followers who prop them up are not willing to work in the system. They claim patently false things. They claim shocking things. They claim to be informed. And they call “racism” to anyone who disagrees. The media seem to love these new voices and look upon them with almost zero scrutiny. The hope for Democrats is that between the “Squad” screaming these false claims loud enough (with the media’s reverberation) they will be able to sway voters to believe the one liar who gets the nomination.

The invisible manipulation and assistance from Big Tech. Senator Ted Cruz opined in a Senate hearing he chaired this past week that he hoped journalists would catch the biggest take away of the day. According to one of the day’s most credible contributors, Robert Epstein, in 2016 Google alone likely manipulated 2.6 million to as high as 10 million voters to choose Hillary Clinton. In 2018 using his perfected methods of monitoring search activity and effective responses with permission-granted use, Google alone may have influenced upwards of 78.2 million votes to be directed to a single party. His concern in 2020 is that upwards of 15-20 million votes may be directed to a single candidate. And lest you question his bonafides, he’s a Harvard educated Ph.D, a research psychologist with 40 years experience, and previous editor at Psychology Today & Scientific American MIND! He also campaigned, endorsed, and supported Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Democratic Mayor Refuses to Raise the Pride Flag

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a surprise display of a politician departing from his party’s line, a Democratic mayor in Reading, Pennsylvania has refused to raise the LGBT rainbow pride flag over city hall, arguing that it sends a non-impartial political message.

“The flag was originally slated to fly on Monday in recognition of Reading’s Pride Celebration and stay up through the following Sunday,” reports LifeSiteNews. “However, the Reading Eagle reports that Mayor Wally Scott blocked it just minutes before it was set to go up. He objected not to the LGBT lobby’s causes, but to the prospect of flying anything representing a live political cause.”

In a statement to reporters, acting managing director Osmer Deming said that Mayor Scott simply does not wish to use government property to endorse current political movements. “The mayor’s position is that he does not support flags being up that support political movements and he views that as a political movement,” he said.

City council president Jeffrey Waltman said that he tried to change the mayor’s mind but ultimately could not persuade him from “concerns about raising the flag.” Councilwoman Donna Reed said that all plans were in place to have the flag fly until Mayor Scott shut it down at the last minute. “I contacted the managing director and was told this flag would fly through the 21st,” Reed said.

“It was obviously an administrative breakdown that showed up at the last minute. It was approved by Osmer and I guess it didn’t get relayed,” Waltman added.

Poll Confirms Democrats ‘Ultimate Nightmare’ Trump Scenario

/0 Comments/in , , /by

When Hillary Clinton officially became a two-time presidential loser in 2016, the Left had a meltdown. Donald Trump had won and the former first lady will never become president. Racism, sexism, misogyny—the entire fruit salad of politically correct craziness that the Democrats chows down on a daily basis has spewed all over in an epic tantrum that has continued to this day. Some on the Left actually understood why Clinton lost: she was a terrible candidate. Yet, with 2020 on the horizon, the Democratic clown car is massive. The energy from the Left is at an all-time high. They want this man out of office. The problem is that the enthusiasm advantage Democrats had in 2018 is going to be neutralized with Trump at the top of the ticket. And the states where Democrats are gaining voters are worthless in the general election math for next year. So, start the clock, folks.

We could have a Chernobyl-like meltdown over Trump’s probably second term and the Electoral College again. Democrats are more than willing to destroy rules and regulations of institutions to merely say that his tweets were bad. Over a second presidential loss, there is no telling what liberal America will resort to ensure that the GOP will never win again. Remember, Democrats think they’re entitled to win every election. We already have far-left whackos attacking ICE facilities and attacking journalists. This could be very entertaining, but, as always, one where we must all remain vigilant David Wasserman broke down the numbers. Trump could win barely 47 percent of the vote, lose by 5 million votes, but still win re-election, thanks to the Electoral College math. As someone said on social media, whose name eludes me, our system of electing presidents favors geographic diversity. That is something absent with the Democrats and their far-left agenda. Oh, and Trump could lose Pennsylvania and Michigan and still win a second term (via NBC News):

But Trump could lose Michigan and Pennsylvania and still win the Electoral College, so long as he carries every other place he won in 2016. And Wisconsin didn’t provide as clear a verdict in 2018. Even with favorable turnout in a “blue wave,” Democrats won Wisconsin’s governor’s race only by a point and failed to gain a House seat. If enough Trump voters who sat out 2018 — particularly white working-class men — return to the polls in 2020, the Badger State could easily stay red. . .

…the concentration of demographic change in noncompetitive states, particularly California and Texas, threatens to further widen the chasm between the popular vote and the Electoral College, easing his path. Trump could once again win with less than 47 percent, a victory threshold far below the share of the popular vote the Democratic nominee might need.

The ultimate nightmare scenario for Democrats might look something like this: Trump loses the popular vote by more than 5 million ballots, and the Democratic nominee converts Michigan and Pennsylvania back to blue. But Trump wins re-election by two Electoral votes by barely hanging onto Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Maine’s 2nd Congressional District — one of the whitest and least college-educated districts in the country.

Report Reveals the Reality of ‘Family Separation’ Under Trump Administration

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. As Democrats and their media supporters continue to claim that the Trump administration is putting “kids in cages” — despite no such outrage when President Barack Obama did the same — a new report finds that the administration has reunited nearly all of the children separated at the border.

The report, from Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, looked at data produced by the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services and found that 95% of children who had been discharged from HHS custody had been “reunified with an individual sponsor or released to a parent.”

The data provided had identified 2,648 children who were believed to have been separated at the southern border. The committee only had data from HHS on 1,619 of those children, but found that 99% had been discharged from HHS custody.

“Of the 1,603 discharged children, 1,546 children—or 95 percent—were either reunified with an individual sponsor or released to a parent. Specifically, 1,061 children were released to a parent and 485 children were reunified with an individual sponsor,” the report found.

The remaining 73 children who were discharged but not reunited have also been accounted for. Sixteen are being cared for by HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (which determined four of the 16 hadn’t been separated from a parent), 21 had sought a voluntary departure and went back to his or her home country, 20 turned 18 while in custody and could no longer be held by ORR, eight were sent to another migrant program, six went to a DHS family shelter, one was granted immigration relief, and that last child was a runaway.

Homeland Security chief: Family border separations are down

By AP News. A top Trump administration official said Thursday the number of family separations at the border has fallen since last summer’s zero tolerance policy, and they are done only for compelling reasons.

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said fewer than 1,000 children have been separated from families out of 450,000 family groups that have crossed the border since October. He said they are separated because of health and safety concerns, among other reasons. . .

McAleenan was speaking Thursday before the House Oversight Committee investigating border problems. His testimony comes amid a growing outcry over the treatment of migrants at the border, an internal investigation into Border Patrol agents who posted crude and mocking posts in a secret Facebook group and the move this week to effectively end asylum on the U.S.-Mexico border.
