‘ISIS Selfies’ on New York Streets Are Terrifying

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Tina Moore and Ruth Brown. Jihadis are spreading chilling selfies of a man brandishing ISIS logos while posing on New York City streets, according to new reports.

The photos were spotted in pro-Islamic State channels on instant messaging app Telegram, according to terror watchdog group Memri.

One shows a man wearing an ISIS-branded scarf over his face outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art — and right near an NYPD security camera. Pedestrians can be seen walking by on the snow-dusted street.

Another is of someone holding a smart phone with the terror group’s logo on its screen in front of the World Trade Center. The phone-holder appears to be standing near the corner of Houston Street and the Westside Highway. (Read more from “‘ISIS Selfies’ on New York City Streets Are Terrifying” HERE)

ISIS ‘Lone Wolf’ Fanatic Takes Chilling Selfie on a Snow-Covered New York Street as Terror Group Urges a Wave of Knife Attacks at US Churches

By Matt Acton. A brazon Islamic State fanatic taunted US security services by appearing to pose on a snowy New York street in an ISIS-branded scarf.

The disturbing selfie comes after the terror group’s media channels ramped up their threats to the Big Apple over the festive period.

The monster also seems to be wearing an ISIS-branded scarf to hide his face – but experts have warned that it might be computer-generated.

The disturbing selfie comes as the supporters of the terror group released another poster urging attacks in churches with knives.

The propaganda piece shows a masked fighter brandishing a bloodied knife with the words: “It’s cheaper than a chainsaw.” (Read more from “ISIS ‘Lone Wolf’ Fanatic Takes Chilling Selfie on a Snow-Covered New York Street as Terror Group Urges a Wave of Knife Attacks at US Churches” HERE)

Oregon Strikes Down Law Banning Self-Service Gas Stations… Residents Freak Out

/0 Comments/in , , /by

People are raising cane on social media about a law in Oregon making it legal for citizens to pump their own gas.

A law passed through Oregon’s legislature in May and signed into law in June will allow counties with 40,000 residents or fewer to pump their own gas.

Oregonians are not pleased about the change.

The law, which takes effect Monday, has created a minor firestorm in rural parts of Oregon, where full-service gas stations have ruled the day since 1951.

A local CBS affiliate in Medford, Oregon, asked its viewers on Facebook about the new law – the responses have ranged from anger to confusion.

“I don’t even know HOW to pump gas and I am 62, native Oregonian…..I say NO THANKS! I don’t want to smell like gasoline!” one woman wrote in a comment on a survey the new station posted Dec. 29.

The poll elicited more than a thousand responses.

Another shared her opinion, with several commenters suggesting full-service gas stations are safer than those permitting residents to feel the exhilaration of filling their own tanks.

“It is safer for people, if a station attendant does the service. The only advantage of pumping the gas yourself, would be paying a few cents less a gallon. Getting older, and being disabled, I’d rather have the help!” another person wrote, noting there are times when attendants are welcomed.

Still other Facebook denizens were dismissive toward those expressing concerns about a change to the six-decade old law.

“It’s official. Oregon is full of mentally defective, full grown children, incapable of the most mundane of adult task,” wrote one person whose reaction was a common one on the thread.

Oregon reformed the law in 2015.

The change allowed motorists to pump their own fuel at night, but the state is still one of two in the country that ban self-service.

Motorists in New Jersey, for instance, face stiff penalties for touching pumps – fines range between $50 and $250 for the first offense and up to $500 for subsequent offenses.

Now FBI Probed for 2016 Election Interference

/0 Comments/in , , /by

What began as an investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election has now become a probe into how federal law enforcement conspired to stop Donald Trump from becoming president.

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has expanded its investigation that began with claims of Russian collusion and a fraudulent memo paid for by Trump opponents to one that focuses on members of federal law enforcement – both in the U.S. Justice Department and the FBI – and how they actively worked against the Trump campaign and the eventual Trump presidency.

In a startling turnabout, committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is accusing the Justice Department and the FBI of misleading him in “a pattern of behavior that can no longer be tolerated.” He charges that Justice claimed it possesses no documents related to the infamous Trump dossier, then, under pressure, produced “numerous” such papers.

U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is already opposing the move, even though he and other Democrats have conceded recently that finding a Russia-Trump conspiracy has produced no real evidence.

Nunes has put in place what amounts to a separate investigation of the FBI and the Justice Department hierarchy. (Read more from “Now FBI Probed for 2016 Election Interference” HERE)

CNN Shares Exclusive Footage of Trump Playing Golf, Then Twitter Users Notice the Real Story

/0 Comments/in , , /by

CNN’s coverage of President Donald Trump playing golf seemed strange to quite a few viewers.

After promising to “get back to work” after Christmas, Trump went to the golf course — an act which CNN covered in an apparent attempt to question the president’s work ethic.

CNN correspondent Manu Raju tweeted the exclusive content catching Trump in the act, however, Twitter users noticed the president’s golf game wasn’t the only questionable activity taking place.

The video footage looks as though it was taken from the inside of a bush, surprising viewers that the reporter was spying on Trump.

Twitter users pointed out what should have been the real story.

This footage comes after multiple mistakes made by CNN earlier this month.

In early December, Raju used the wrong date when reporting on an email sent to the Trump campaign that inflamed suspicion of possible collusion between the campaign and Russia, which has been accused of providing those documents to WikiLeaks.

In reality, the email was received 10 days later when the documents were publicly available, disproving the earlier presumption.

In another December mistake, CNN used an image of someone who was not White House principal deputy secretary Raj Shah accompanied by a quote from Shah on air. The picture that was used with the quote is another man named Raj Shah, but he serves as the Rockefeller Foundation’s president.

While other news outlets covered the attempted terror attack in New York City earlier this month, CNN ran a story about a New York Times story that claims Trump drinks “a dozen Diet Cokes” every day.

Trump has repeatedly criticized CNN for its alleged biased reporting. (For more from the author of “CNN Shares Exclusive Footage of Trump Playing Golf, Then Twitter Users Notice the Real Story” please click HERE)

Conservative Pushes the Limits on CNN, Causes Don Lemon to Have a Meltdown, Cut to Commercial Break

/0 Comments/in , , /by

There are apparently some topics Don Lemon does not want to talk about.

On Thursday, the CNN news anchor was discussing the FBI investigation into alleged Russian election meddling when one of his guests used a few trigger words that prompted Lemon cut to commercial rather than debate the topic.

In response to back-and-forth regarding allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials to tip the election in their favor, conservative commentator and radio host Ben Ferguson pointed out the double standard Democrats enjoy — doing things would have led to indictments if they were Republicans.

“There are a lot of people that feel like that there was special treatment that was given to people that work for Barack Obama and things that they did they would have been indicted for if they were Republicans,” he said.

“For example, when you clearly have top-secret information on a laptop that you have on a server in the basement of your house,” Ferguson continued, according to BizPac Review.

“And then you send those top-secret classified documents to people that aren’t even cleared to see them and then you forward them to your husband, who by the way is in jail by the name of Anthony Weiner.”

The CNN host became visibly agitated at the pivot from GOP baggage to past Democrat controversies.

“Man, what does this have to do with what we’re talking about?” Lemon asked. “The FBI has already investigated that! They’re been a million hearings on it. It’s water under the bridge!”

“No, it’s not!” Ferguson responded. “It’s water under the bridge for you, Don! It’s water under the bridge for you! It’s not for the rest of the people in this country!”

The debate devolved as Lemon shouted, “No! No! No! No! No!” over the dialogue, then cutting to commercial break.

When the program returned, Lemon opened up the floor to Ferguson — with the caveat that he not “hijack” the panel or dare discuss topics not involving Trump controversies.

“Listen, I don’t want to hear about Benghazi, I don’t want to hear about uranium,” Lemon explained, giving specific instruction on what not to talk about. “It has been litigated a million times –“

“Of course, because it doesn’t fit the narrative!” Ferguson interjected.

At this point the entire panel teamed up against the lone conservative, arguing that accusation of Clinton’s wrongdoing have been already been debated at length and do not warrant further discussion. Ferguson, however, stuck to his guns as the conservation went on.

Many in the establishment media continue, on a daily basis, discuss controversies surrounding the Republican White House. Allegations that the president’s campaign team colluded with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign have continued for well over a year.

Robert Mueller was appointed special counselor of the FBI investigation into the Trump presidential campaign in mid-May. His investigation has so far lasted over seven months — with no apparent end in sight.

13 Scientific Studies Suggest ‘Little Ice Age’ Looming

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Global-warming diehards who converted their cause to “climate change” when the warming ceased a few years back are being dealt another blow as scientific forecasts of global cooling are about to take over.

“During 2017, 120 papers linking historical and modern climate change to variations in solar activity and its modulators (clouds, cosmic rays) have been published in scientific journals,” reported Kenneth Richard at NoTricksZone.

Richard compiled a list of multiple studies from the past few years drawing the same conclusion: It’s the sun’s activities that have a huge influence on whether earth’s temperatures vary. Thirteen forecast global cooling.

The global-warming alarmists contend mankind’s use of fossil fuels is irreparably heating up the earth’s average temperatures . . .

Richard explained: “It has been increasingly established that low solar activity (few sunspots) and increased cloud cover (as modulated by cosmic rays) are highly associated with a cooling climate. In recent years, the earth has unfortunately left a period of very high solar activity, the Modern Grand Maximum. Periods of high solar activity correspond to multi-decadal- to centennial-scale warming.” (Read more from “13 Scientific Studies Suggest ‘Little Ice Age’ Looming” HERE)

Retail Apocalypse Continues: 17 Stores on 2018 Death Watch

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Over 20 retail chains — including Radio Shack, Toys R Us, and HHGregg — filed for bankruptcy, and some were liquidated . . .

The 17 companies below all struggled in 2017. Many of them closed stores, and some have even filed for bankruptcy at least once before. These aren’t the only retailers struggling as we head into 2018, but they are some of the most prominent . . .

Leaving Sears Holdings (NASDAQ: SHLD) off a list of companies not likely to survive 2018 would be like omitting Tom Brady from a discussion of all-time great quarterbacks. Sears has been moving in reverse for years, losing money and closing stores at a remarkable rate . . .

J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) isn’t in the same dire straits as Sears. That, however, is sort of like saying that someone with one brain tumor is in better health than someone with two . . .

In 2017 Claire’s appeared on a lot of lists of companies not likely to survive the year. Its condition has improved slightly: In the most recent quarter, overall sales rose 0.8%, while same-store sales grew by 1.1%.The problem is that the chain is in a precarious financial position. As of Oct. 28, it had cash and cash equivalents of only $25.8 million, down $5.4 million from the previous quarter. It also had $71 million drawn on its credit facility, putting the chain underwater and vulnerable to a downturn in sales.

Anthony Weiner Laptop Contents Secret No More

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Documents belonging to former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin that were discovered on her estranged husband Anthony Weiner’s personal computer during an FBI investigation were released Friday by the State Department, including five that were marked classified.

FBI Director James Comey cited the emails recovered on Weiner’s laptop as the reason he reopened the investigation of Clinton’s mishandling of classified information 11 days before the November election . . .

One email, dated Nov. 25, 2010, contained a list of talking points for Clinton as she prepared to telephone Prince Saud of Saudi Arabia to warn him about the sensitive documents then-Army intelligence officer Bradley Manning gave to WikiLeaks . . .

One of talking points was: “I deeply regret the likely upcoming WikiLeaks disclosure. This appears to be the result of an illegal act in which a fully cleared intelligence officer stole information and gave it to a website. The person responsible will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This is the kind of information we fear may be released: details of private conversations with your government on Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.”

WND reported earlier this month another cache of records obtained by Judicial Watch show Abedin was allowed to take five boxes of “physical files” out of the State Department that include records described as “Muslim Engagement Documents.” (Read more from “Anthony Weiner Laptop Contents Secret No More” HERE)

The Very Best End-of-Year Donation For Liberty Lovers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dear Friends and Supporters of Restoring Liberty,

We rarely ask for funding but, to be frank, your dollars are critical if we are going to continue our publishing work. You see, powerful financial forces have declared TOTAL WAR on anti-Establishment websites like ours. Unbelievably, Google stripped Restoring Liberty of all of its ad revenue earlier this year, leaving the website deeply in the red.

Please help us with your most generous end-of-the-year donation HERE.

To make matters worse, Facebook is doing the same thing. Zuckerberg has adjusted his algorithm to destroy conservative websites. For example, we have over 45,000 followers on Facebook and, after Trump’s victory this past November, Facebook’s trafficking of our average post now only reaches between 1 and 2 percent of those followers! Zuckerberg and his big government pals will do anything to prevent a repeat of the last election.

What does that make me do? Work harder than ever before to reach liberty-loving Americans like you with news they generally won’t see in the MSM. We will continue to slam the Establishment – Republican and Democrat alike – to rescue our nation from tyranny. But this is only possible with your help.

Please join with us in this battle TODAY.

Incredibly, despite this onslaught of Establishment attacks, Restoring Liberty remains among the top 100 conservative sites in the nation and the top political site in Alaska. Our editors and I remain committed to this excellence, but we cannot continue our efforts alone.

Elizabeth Warren’s ‘I Believe in Science’ Tweet Backfires

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., apparently wasn’t aware of the can of worms she would open when she responded to President Trump’s tweet mocking global-warming activists by declaring “I believe in science.”

Trump tweeted Thursday: “In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!”

Warren responded: “I’m going to say something really crazy: I believe in science. Climate change is real and we have a moral obligation to protect this Earth for our children and grandchildren.”

Her tweet, however, was met with actor James Woods and others offering her an education in science on topics such as DNA, gender and unborn children, the Daily Wire reported.

Woods, who this week took Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., to task for smearing Trump supporters, brought up Warren’s dubious claim that she has Native American ancestry. (Read more from “Elizabeth Warren’s ‘I Believe in Science’ Tweet Backfires” HERE)
