Barrett's campaign strategy is to repeat whatever is in the paper that same day. Pure hardworking genius.Hide replies
It's called outsourcing.
He needs a defense fund to DEFEND himself against the liberal democrat smear campaign the a John Doe investigation has turned into. Same as he needs a recall campaign fund to DEFEND himself against the illegitimate recall. I know Tommy boy Barrett is not the smartest guy, but he should be able to figure that out without Walker having to draw him a picture.Hide replies
Walker is such a victim...poor fella.
No, if he was a victim he would not defend himself. He is more than capable of standing up for himself.
Yeah but everyone keeps picking on him? Poor guy, just minding his own business and BAM, surrounded by criminals. Such a dilemma!
Wisconsin had a projected budget surplus going into Walker's reign. Here's what happened: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2011/02/unions_arent_to_blame_for_wisc.html.Hide replies
BS - Doyle did it with illegal fund raids, shady accounting, and one time stimulus. You know it is, I know it is, anyone with a brain knows it is. ...then again, maybe you DON'T know...
And now Walker is doing it with illegal fund raids, shady accounting and one time stimulus.
Walker is no better than Doyle, just the other extreme.
So pondo is comparing what Walker is doing and what Doyle did? Or he could be an adult and say both were wrong, just sayin'
What fund did Walker raid?
What stimulus $ did he use?
And the budget projections were provided to him, not made up by him. The economy will dictate what the final revenues are, anything else is just an educated guess. - To dumb it down a bit for you libs:..Walker balanced the budget with relatively minor spending cuts, Doyle did it with smoke and mirrors.
Leave Pongo alone......he has a limited brain capacity
I want to know what WIHoops fan has been smokin and if his company (assuming he has a job) has drug testing!
A quarter of a $$$ million bucks in criminal lawyer fees. The public deserves to know why now.Hide replies
It's a Legal defense fund, not a criminal defense fund.
A rose by any other name is still a rose.
It's a JOHN DOE and he is cooperating. That's all there is. It's a John Doe !!
The public deserves to know why there has been leak after leak from the DA's office regarding this John Doe investigation, but like a typical Dem he will just sweep it under the carpet and the JS will ignore that too. Keep carrying the water Dan!
Thanks again JS for feeding the Mayor free shots at the gov. It is telling, very tellig. By the way, please find me a story of congressmen Barett that condemeds Bill Clintons legal defense fund? Can you say Hypocrite. Also your story, rightfully so says "legal defense fund" Barett's coments say criminal defense fund, either he is to stupid to know the difference or he is intentionally trying to mislead your readers. Now if the Mayor knows something about this "secret" John Doe investigation, maybe he should come clean. Then we can start the investigation into how he knew. Integrity my dupa.
It's amusing listening to the Walkernistas trying to defend their hero. So how much are each of you paying for your criminal defense team? If you've done absolutely nothing wrong, shouldn't each of you be shelling out 100K as well? As a Wisconsin taxpayer, I don't want to hear another lame excuse from his Hooters girl, I want to hear Scott Walker explain what this money is being spent on.Hide replies
Integrity and character, your expectations are out of line! lol!
What's wrong with hooters' girls? Really? Did you get rejected by one? Or is this another liberal rant on all businesses?
I, for one, have ZERO problems with Hooter's girls. WE just know chuckie is keeping with the liberal agenda of being anti-business.
Chuckie, are you from the Republic of Falkistan? LOL
what a tool Barrett. No support for job initiatives. No support for mining jobs that would have brought good paying jobs to Milwaukee. Cries about New Jersey governer being out of state and says so with a strait face after he has his Thug Mayor from Chicago up here a month or so ago. Just go back to State Fair with your family lol. you are useless to the people of Milwaukee and the State of Wisconsin...Hide replies
Barrett only comes off the milk carton at election time. Time to put him permanently back on one!
Since Walkershow Boob has all the answers, he should get off his big white methuglican rear and move to Milwaukee. Help Barrett solve all of the immense problems Milwaukee has incurred as a result of Walker's massive cuts in state aids to Milwaukee.
If Scott Walker explains what the criminal defense fund is for , he will loose the election. Look what happened to Tim Russell , Scott Walker's Chief Deputy of Staff. They thru Tim Russell in Jail immediately.Hide replies
"loose"? Obviously another satisfied graduate of MPS!
Walker's spokesperson seems to have difficulty repeating a sentence correctly.
Ciara, your boss said that he has not been told that he is a target of the investigation.
There's a big difference between his statements and yours that he has been told that he is not a target. That's not what he has said. Can you understand the difference, Ciara? Do we have to diagram the sentences for you on your leftover Hooters napkins?Hide replies
I love Hooters girls. Why are you anti-business? Do you have a job? Were you once rejected by a Hooter's girl?
This is what you have a some sort of proof of a cover-up? The double standard you lefties have is unreal at times.
Basic law being ignored here by Barrett and his lefty lemmings....John Doe is just that, a John Doe. Unless Walker is called to testify at some point, he is just as much in the dark on this as anyone posting here is. Taking up counsel is logical considering his role in government when the already exposed criminal activity took place, through no fault of his own, which has already been established by already presented testimony.
Pure political grandstanding on Barrett's part, which is being echoed here by the "Lemmings of Take" at the urging of an article here propping up Barrett's "insights as some legit concern. Poor showing all around here, but to be expected.

You Just Ain't Right
David Cameron Resigns As Prime Minister After Britain Votes Brexit – ITV
David Cameron has resigned as prime minister after Britain voted to leave the European Union.
The prime minister, who backed a Remain vote, said Britain required "fresh leadership" to negotiate the country's exit from the EU.
"I do not think it would be right for me to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination," he said in a statement outside Downing Street.
He promised to "steady the ship" over the coming months before stepping down in October…
SUNY Albany Race Crime Hoaxer Admits To Lies – Breitbart
A student at SUNY Albany who claimed to be a victim of a racial attack has admitted to fabricating the story – another in a long line of hate crime hoaxes.
Alexis Briggs and fellow students Ariel Aguido and Asha Burwell claimed that they were taunted with racial abuse and slurs while riding a bus in late January. In an ironic turn of events, video footage of the bus ride showed that no racial abuse had taken place.
In fact, the women themselves were charged with misdemeanor assault and with false reporting of an incident. SUNY Albany has expelled Aguido and Burwell while Briggs has received a two year suspension.
Briggs gave a tearful apology to the court, admitting to fabricating the story in order to receive a plea deal that would allow her to avoid any jail time. The student will however have to complete 100 hours of community service.
Briggs also stated that she "never anticipated the tremendous attention that would be given to this story or the far-reaching effect it would have." Aguido and Burwell rejected plea agreements and could face up to two sentences…
Trump Launches Brutal Website LyingCrookedHillary.com – Truthfeed
Trump Supporters have been waiting for this for a long time and now it has begun – an all out assault on the crooked dealings and hypocrisy that surrounds the woman known as "Hillary." These are things we ALL KNOW, yet the liberal mainstream media DESPERATELY tries to hide.
Trump has cleverly created a separate viral website for Hillary's lies LyingCrookedHillary.com
He's also branded her with a double whammy – hitting her where it hurts the most – trustworthiness and corruption.
The first lie featured Benghazi…
Alabama Councilwoman Complains Holocaust Memorial Is Racist Because 'It Is For Dead People' – Raw Story
An Alabama city councilwoman made a series of outrageous – and mostly inaccurate – arguments in her attempt to claim a proposal to honor victims of the Holocaust was racist against black people.
Sheila Tyson doesn't want the city to pay $45,500 to remove existing buildings on the site of the Birmingham Holocaust Education Center, which has raised about $500,000 to build a memorial park alongside a 9/11 memorial, reported AL.com.
"Dead is dead," Tyson argued.
Tyson, who has previously asked the city to pay for repairs at the historically black Shadow Lawn Cemetery, said she didn't understand why the city should help the privately funded memorial project.
"Isn't it still for dead people," Tyson said. "It is for dead people. Aren't the people they are memorializing deceased?"
City Attorney Thomas Bentley, whose parents are buried in Shadow Lane, sighed and tried to explain how the black cemetery was a private entity, while the Holocaust memorial expressed the city's remembrance.
"I'm not sure I have the vocabulary or explanatory power to indicate the distinction although it's clear to me from a legal standpoint that there is a distinction," Bentley said…
Brits Vote To Leave EU Dictatorship – Daily Mail
Britain has been hit by a political earthquake after the historic EU referendum delivered clear backing for Brexit.
The Leave campaign prevailed after stacking up votes across England and Wales – despite massive support for Remain in Scotland and major cities including London.
David Cameron is expected to give his response to the dramatic verdict within hours, with speculation that he will herald the end of his tenure in Downing Street. Meanwhile Ukip leader Nigel Farage has hailed a 'victory for real people' and declared June 23 the country's 'Independence Day'.
The Pound nose-dived to its lowest level against the US dollar for 31 years as the markets took fright at the news. SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon raised the prospect of a second independence referendum in Scotland as she stressed that its future was within the EU…
House Blocks Democrat Amendment To Ban People On No Fly List From Getting Guns – Young Conservatives
We have been talking a lot about how Democrats want to ban people who are on the no fly list from getting a gun.
They completely ignore the fact that the list is a complete mess.
Children and congressman routinely end up on the list and it is a terrible way to decide who should have their constitutional rights stripped away.
It also warns people who are being investigated that they are being watched by the FBI.
But Democrats don't care about any of that.
They just want to push their own political agenda in the aftermath of a tragedy when people are feeling vulnerable.
Well, it looks like the House has struck down their plan.
From Red State:
There is no viable way to allow a person on such a list to challenge being placed on the list without divulging classified information. Both lists are fallible and subject to political manipulation. The no fly list, in particular, is useless. Toddlers and fat drunks, like Ted Kennedy, have found themselves forbidden to fly because their name is on the list. More importantly, neither of the San Bernardino shooters was on such a list…
New D'Souza Movie Hits Bill And Hillary As 'Two Depraved Crooks' – Washington Examiner
Conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza is releasing his new movie, "Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party," in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention with a warning about Bill and Hillary Clinton:
"Imagine how worse things could get if these two depraved crooks return to the White House."
Accompanied by his book Hillary's America from Regnery Publishing, the movie will be unveiled at July 17 red carpet event in Cleveland and released nationally July 22.
It just received a PG-13 rating…
CNN's Tom Foreman Caught Lying In Trump-Refugees 'Fact Check' – Breitbart
In a segment that was billed as CNN's "fact check" of Donald Trump's anti-Hillary speech, CNN gave a demonstrably false presentation of U.S. immigration policy in an effort to undermine Trump's factually correct statements.
The segment was remarkable in that it not only revealed CNN's profound ignorance of federal immigration policy, but an examination of the segment's transcript also reveals that CNN ignored and blatantly distorted what Trump had actually said.
CNN's Tom Foreman accused Trump making a "false" statement about Hillary Clinton's refugee policy when Trump statement was, in fact, true.
"The reality check team was very busy during all of this [speech]," Foreman said. "Trump attacked Clinton's plan to increase the number of Syrian refugees taken into America."
Foreman then played video footage of Trump's speech in which Trump said, "Under her [Clinton's] plan, we would admit hundreds of thousands of refugees from the most dangerous countries on Earth – with no way to screen who they are, what they are, what they believe, where they come from."
Foreman then delved into his "analysis" of Trump's statement:
He was talking about this in reference to the Syria program in context of his speech. So let's look at the reality there…
Led Zeppelin Wins 'Stairway To Heaven' Plagiarism Trial – Entertainment Weekly
The song remains the same: Led Zeppelin are in the clear after a federal jury decided the band did not plagiarize their signature track, 1971's "Stairway to Heaven." The panel announced their unanimous decision on Thursday in a Los Angeles federal court room.
The English rockers were accused of infringing on the copyright of the instrumental track "Taurus" by the American band Spirit. Michael Skidmore, a trustee of the estate of Spirit guitarist Randy Wolfe, was the plaintiff and accused Zeppelin of lifting "Stairway's" acoustic guitar-laden introduction from "Taurus" and sought upwards of $40 million in damages, as well as a songwriting credit for Wolfe.
But the eight-person jury ruled that even though Plant had access to "Taurus" and that Skidmore and Spirit's estate had copyright to "Taurus," the "original elements of Spirit's song are not extrinsically similar" to "Stairway to Heaven."…
After Sending Out His First Fundraising Email, Donald Trump Raises $11 Million In Two Days – Gateway Pundit
Donald Trump sent out his first fundraising email on Tuesday. The Republican nominee said he would match donations received in the next 48 hours.
The results were astounding.
The Trump Campaign raised $11 million in two days!
CNN reported:
Donald Trump and his joint fundraising committee have raised at least $11 million since Tuesday morning, Republicans said Wednesday, a tremendously quick haul that comes amid concerns about his fundraising ability.
Trump Victory, the joint fundraising account with the Republican National Committee, and Trump's official campaign raised $5 million online since Tuesday morning, when it sent one of its first fundraising pitches to its email list, according to Sean Spicer, an RNC spokesman.
Sean Spicer, Republican Party spokesperson, made the announcement this morning…
Supreme Court Strikes Down Obama Executive Action On Illegal Immigration – Townhall
The Supreme Court voted in a 4-4 tie on United States v. Texas, which concerned the Obama administration's DAPA program that deferred deportations of some illegal immigrants. The tie decision means that the program's enforcement will still be blocked.
As for what's next, that largely depends on who wins the election this November. If the Democratic candidate wins (and nominates a fellow left-leaning person to the Supreme Court), this means that the policy will likely go into place.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said that the ruling was a vital protection of separation of powers, and that the Supreme Court made the "right call."
"Before it could even be implemented, the President's executive order granting de facto amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants was put on hold in court…
Baltimore Cop's Freddie Gray Verdict Is In, And It's A Huge Deal – Daily Caller
Circuit Judge Barry Williams handed down a not guilty verdict on all charges Thursday for Officer Caesar Goodson, one of the Baltimore cops charged in the death of Freddie Gray.
Goodson is the second of six officers to receive a verdict. So far, all have been acquitted. Goodson was charged with second-degree depraved-heart murder, assault, manslaughter, reckless endangerment, misconduct in office and two counts of vehicular manslaughter. Goodson faced the most serious charges in the case. He opted for a bench trial, which means he waived his right to a jury trial and left his fate in Williams' hands.
The verdict strikes a major blow to the prosecution since many legal experts saw this trial as their best chance at a conviction. The prosecution's case centered around Goodson, who they alleged gave Gray a "rough ride," a term used to describe when an officer driving a vehicle makes sudden jerks, turns and stops to cause a passenger to slide around in the back. The state alleged Goodson's rough ride caused Gray's fatal spinal injury.
The prosecution suffered a big setback when their expert witness balked on cross examination earlier in the case. While grilled by the defense, former Baltimore City police commander Stanford Franklin couldn't say for sure that the driver gave Gray a rough ride.
Goodson's attorney pressed Franklin and directly asked him, "Is it not your contention that officer Goodson engaged in a rough ride?"
Franklin answered with, "I can't say," a damning moment for a prosecution that had largely rested on the rough ride theory…
Report: Hillary Turned Off Security Features On Her Home Email Server While Secretary Of State – Gateway Pundit
Hillary Clinton disabled the security features on her home server while serving as Secretary of State under the Obama administration.
Judicial Watch released these findings in its latest report on the Clinton email scandal.
"State Department staffers wrestled for weeks in December 2010 over a serious technical problem with then-Secretary Hillary Clinton's home email server, causing them to temporarily disable security features that left the server more vulnerable to hackers, according to emails released Wednesday.
Just weeks later, according to previously disclosed emails, hackers attacked the server, forcing Clinton's staff to shut it down…
The Democrats Destroy Medicare – Betsy McCaughey
Under the guise of "reform," President Obama is dismantling Medicare – dooming seniors to needless pain and disability and shortening their lives.
The stakes are high, because Medicare and the access it allows to medical innovations have transformed aging. Before Medicare, older people languished in nursing homes or wheel chairs with crippling illnesses. Now, seniors dodge that fate, thanks to hip and knee replacements, cataract operations, heart procedures – all paid for by Medicare.
Stunning findings just published in the American Journal of Public Health show that a man turning 65 can expect to live almost five years longer than his counterpart in 1970. Five years of extra life, and almost all of it in good health. What a priceless gift.
A gift Obama is snatching away. His so-called Medicare reforms make it harder for seniors to get joint replacements. His new payment rules shortchange doctors, discouraging them from accepting Medicare. New ER rules clobber seniors with bills for "observation care." Under ObamaCare, hospitals get bonuses for spending less per senior, despite having higher death rates and infection rates.
Expect the Medicare Trustees' annual report, due out today, to ignore these damaging changes.
The latest assault is 962 pages of rules with the acronym MACRA that dictate how doctors treat patients. The precious minutes with your doctor are wasted completing mandatory reports for the federal government, and your ailment gets short shrift…
Clinton IT Specialist Invokes 5th More Than 125 Times During Deposition – Fox News
Hillary Clinton IT specialist Bryan Pagliano invoked the Fifth more than 125 times during a 90-minute, closed-door deposition Wednesday with the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch, a source with the group told Fox News.
The official said Pagliano was working off an index card and read the same crafted statement each time.
"It was a sad day for government transparency," the Judicial Watch official said, adding they asked all their questions and Pagliano invoked the Fifth Amendment right not to answer them.
Pagliano was a central figure in the set-up and management of Clinton's personal server she used exclusively for government business while secretary of state…
Trump University Lawsuit Brought By Firm Who Paid $675,000 To Bill And Hillary Clinton – Conservative Treehouse
Research by Lawnewz has discovered the legal firm behind the Trump civil action lawsuit paid Bill and Hillary Clinton massive amounts of money for speeches and advocacy during and after Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State:
Donald Trump has undoubtedly made the class action lawsuit against Trump University a prime campaign issue. For the last several days, he has been on a tear against federal Judge Gonzolo Curiel who is overseeing one of the class action lawsuits against Trump University. In the lawsuit, former students claim that the University and Trump violated federal law by luring them to sign up with false promises and then defrauded them once they handed over their checks.
LawNewz.com discovered that when it comes to politics, Robbins Gellar Rudman & Dowd, the law firm behind the class action lawsuit, is not exactly neutral either. Our analysis, using data compiled by The Washington Post, found that Robbins Gellar Rudman & Dowd paid the Clintons a total of $675,000 in fees for speeches since 2009. Hillary Clinton gave a speech for the law firm as recently as September 4, 2014.
Bill Clinton also gave a speech for the same fee back in 2014, and another one in 2009 before the firm had been renamed (they used to be called Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP). In fact, of the five law firms that paid for Clintons to speak in the last few years, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd paid out the most money.
In addition GotNews is reporting on the Open Borders immigration position of the judge overseeing the Trump civil case.
Donald Trump has accused Judge Gonzalo Curiel as having a bias, a specific agenda bias, to the benefit of the plaintiffs in the case; and it appears he is correct…
Mitch McConnell: I Have 'No Trouble' Backing Donald Trump, But He Should Be More 'Boring' – Yahoo News
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that while he "vigorously" disagreed with Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on certain policy measures, he would still support him in an effort to defeat Hillary Clinton.
In a sit-down with Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric, McConnell said he had "no trouble supporting" Trump in November. But he also noted that he encouraged Trump to paint himself as more "studious" and to rely less on off-the-cuff speeches. He spoke with Yahoo while promoting his new memoir, "The Long Game."
"I think he needs to now portray a more studious, thoughtful approach to the biggest job in the country," McConnell said. "He's at a crossroads, it seems to me. Does he conclude that since the way he's been operating has gotten him this far, that's the way to operate until the finish? Or does he need to pivot? My advice to him is to pivot."…
Huffington Post Writer: Editors Deleted My Article On Hillary's Imminent Indictment, Disabled Me From Writing – Breitbart
A writer for The Huffington Post is still waiting for an explanation as to why editors deleted his piece reporting that the FBI will pursue an indictment against Hillary Clinton.
Huffington Post freelance contributor Frank Huguenard, a scientist and public speaker, wrote a report for the liberal site Sunday entitled "Hillary Clinton to be Indicted On Federal Racketeering Charges." But the piece was not up for long before the Huffington Post pulled it down and replaced it with a "404" Error screen.
"Huffpo has yet to respond to my request for an explanation," Huguenard tweeted at this Breitbart News reporter Monday morning. "I've got my sources, they never asked."
Huguenard later told Breitbart News, "I want to do another story but my HuffPo account has been temporarily disabled. Not sure what's happening with them."
Huffington Post Politics senior editor Sam Stein told Breitbart News that he doesn't know why the piece was pulled.
"Sorry. I don't know. I'd direct your question to a blog editor," Stein said.
Pressed to provide contact information for the blog editor in question, Stein did not respond further…
Brits "Appalled, Disgusted" At Brexit Postal Ballot 'Fraud' – Zero Hedge
"I am appalled by it. It should be neutral," exclaimed one angry Brit after seeing that Brexit voters are being sent postal ballots with a guide that strongly suggests they should vote for Britain to remain in the European Union.
The "How to vote by post" forms were sent out last week.
And, as The Telegraph reports, this has prompted furious complaints from anti-EU campaigners, as the step-by-step guide includes advice to "read the instructions carefully, then complete your ballot paper" above an image showing a pencil in a hand ticking a box to "remain a member of the European Union."
"When i first saw these instructions I was disgusted. The Electoral Commission should never have allowed this to be sent."…
Pro-Refugee Activist Takes In Afghan Refugee And Then This Horror Happens – 100PercentFedUp
Americans should take notes on what's happening in Europe because it's heading our way soon if we don't act now. In Germany, bleeding heart liberals are being raped and robbed by the economic opportunists and thugs coming to get all the freebies that Germany offers. Germany is known for its great benefits as is America. Because of this, America has become a global magnet for economic opportunists who aren't true refugees. You should remember that YOU are paying for this which is why many of our mayors, governors and city council members across America are very secretive about refugee resettlement. Ask questions and shine a light on refugee resettlement!
One of the most curious facts about American refugees who've come this year is that only 1% are Christian and the other 99% are Muslim.
A 26-year-old Afghan man was last Thursday sentenced to two and a half years in prison for rape. The sentence was given by the court in Cologne, writes the local news outlet Kölner Rundschau.
The news outlet describes how the victim, a 20-year-old woman, had let the Afghan refugee stay with her in her apartment.
The Afghan man came to Germany two years ago, and the contact with the woman came through internet, in the group 'Flüchtlinge Wilkommen' (Refugees Welcome).
The rape happened during the night of October 25 last year, when the man sneaked into the 20-year-old woman's room while she was sleeping.
The woman eventually managed to flee, and then ran into another room in the apartment, where her brother lives…
Animal Rights Protesters Rush Stage At Bernie Sanders Rally In California – ABC News
Five animal rights protesters jumped over barricades and rushed the podium at a Bernie Sanders rally in East Oakland, California, on Monday night, prompting the Vermont senator's Secret Service detail to intervene.
One of the protesters appeared to be hit by one of the security member's baton, while another was carried out of the venue by his arms and legs.
For his part, Sanders did not seem rattled.
"We don't get intimidated easily," he said, after the protesters had been removed.
Sanders' campaign spokesperson, Michael Briggs, said he thought security handled the episode "professionally," although a media spokesperson for the group organizing the protest said one of its members was "assaulted."…
Quran Scholar: Martyrs Get Raisins, Not Virgins – WorldNetDaily
Note to jihadists: It's raisins you'll get in heaven for acts of martyrdom – not virgins. That's according to at least one scholar who studied the Quran's original text and found the word that's been commonly translated to mean "virgin" in times of late actually means "raisin."
The revelation came to light during a recent showing of CNN's "Why They Hate Us" special with host Fareed Zakaria aimed at trying to discern just why radical Islamists seek to bomb, kill and destroy those in the West, including Americans.
As CNN's blogged promo of the show stated: "'Why do they hate us?' [This] has been the question asked since the 9/11 attacks 15 years ago – and again in the wake of terrorist attacks in Boston, Brussels, Beirut, Paris, Mumbai, [Fort] Hood, San Bernardino, and beyond. CNN's Fareed Zakaria explores what is fueling the rage – and challenges intelligence experts, religious scholars, policy influencers, and even the very men who want o kill us – for answers to whether America and the rest of the West can do anything to stop the bloodshed."
The 'Stop Hillary' campaign is on fire! Join the surging response to this theme: 'Clinton for prosecution, not president'
A Twitchy review of the broadcast found Zakaria furthered a more moderate view of Islam, one that put forth the view that terrorists hate "all things modern," rather than just Israel, the West and America.
But one surprising element to emerge: A Canadian author and scholar named Irshad Manji broke commonly held ranks to say Islamists might want to double check the truthfulness of their supposed receipt of 72 virgins in heaven for acts of martyrdom. The word "virgin" in the Quran actually means "raisin," he said…
SiriusXM Announces Suspension Of Glenn Beck Over Brad Thor Interview Comments – Breitbart
SiriusXM hosts Stephen K. Bannon and David Webb announced on Breitbart News Daily that SiriusXM has suspended Glenn Beck and Webb will temporarily take over Beck's 9AM to noon Eastern time slot on SiriusXM's Patriot Channel 125.
SiriusXM issued the following statement:
SiriusXM encourages a diversity of discourse and opinion on our talk programs. However, comments recently made by a guest on the independently produced Glenn Beck Program, in our judgement, may be reasonably construed by some to have been advocating harm against an individual currently running for office, which we cannot and will not condone. For that reason, we have suspended The Glenn Beck Program from our Patriot channel for the coming week and are evaluating its place in our lineup going forward…
White McDonald's Manager Doused With Gasoline By Black Man At Drive Thru – Inquisitr
A McDonald's employee in Elkhart, Indiana, was the victim of a cruel prank when an unidentified black male threw a cup of gasoline in her face while advancing through the drive thru.
The assailants recorded the incident on their cellular phones and uploaded it to social media. The video was quickly removed, as it may be linked to a hate crime, but ABC 57 News was able to obtain the video before it was removed.
The victim is Kayla Prater, of Elkhart, and works at the McDonald's location as a manager. The incident happened around 1:30 a.m. on Friday, May 2o. It seemed like any other late night at the location that she manages when the car of three black males pulled into the drive thru and placed their order. As many late night customers are, the three males were a bit rambunctious inside the car. However, as the car started to drive away, the black male in the back seat revealed a 7-11 cup full of gasoline and tossed it into the window, where it doused Prater.
CBS 58 revealed that Prater believes the attack was random, and she just happened to be the victim of the night. She does not believe it was a race-related crime, but will not completely rule it out.
Prater was shocked and surprised that the gasoline was thrown in her face. She was unsure happened at first, but felt the burning as soon as the liquid hit her. She did not know if it was gasoline, acid, or some other substance…
Dad Pulls Sons Out Of School After Officials Allow Girl To Use Boys' Bathroom – Daily Caller
A father of three in small-town Michigan has pulled his three children – all sons – out of the local public schools after one of the sons told him that school officials are allowing a girl to use the boys' bathroom because she really wants to be a boy.
The scene of the transgender fracas is Howell, Mich. (pop: 9,489) – about an hour west of Detroit, reports local ABC affiliate WXYZ.
"My son informed me there was a girl in the bathroom with him and the other kids in his class," the dad, Matt Stewart, told the station.
After the conversation, Stewart and his wife opted to keep their kids home…
Katie Couric Cooks The Facts, Burns Her Reputation – Washington Examiner
"If there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun?"
In "Under the Gun," her new documentary film on gun violence, Yahoo's Katie Couric poses this reasonable question to a members of a gun rights organization known as the Virginia Citizens Defense League.
And in the movie, they seem to react with an awkward silence lasting eight seconds. They look clueless about how to answer the most basic and obvious inquiry. The viewer is led to conclude that these people not only hold indefensible views, but cannot even make an attempt to defend them.
Thanks to a complete audio recording, however, we know that this depiction is a lie. When asked the question about background checks, members of the group launched without hesitation into their answers.
One of them discussed due process rights. Another brought up the numerous laws that already limit gun ownership. A third talked about the practical problems of relying on law to prevent crime in advance, as opposed to punishing it after the fact. At no point was there a pause longer than a second.
Swift and reasonable answers were, however, not what Couric needed. To make her case for more gun regulation she decided to transition from journalism to falsification and propaganda. Instead of showing the interview question and answer as they actually happened, she edited in an eight-second clip of the group sitting silently and slightly uncomfortably waiting to be interviewed…
Gorilla Shot: Angry Blacks Claim White Privilege, Turns Out The Boy Is Black – The Examiner
Reporter James Delingpole of the British edition of the Breitbart.com news portal notes on 30 May, 2016, that there is quite an outrage brewing on social media concerning the shooting of Harambe the gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo. As it turns out while enjoying a week-end visit to the local menagerie, 4-year-old Isaiah managed to slip away for his mother, Michelle Gregg, which resulted in a series of terrifying events that led to Harambe being shot to death by local officials.
As it turns out, prior to Isaiah's name finally bubbling to the surface, he was simply known on social media simply as "gorilla boy." However, young Isaiah's mother went by a number of very different names, none of them complimentary or print-worthy.
As Delingpole cites, a number of individuals have taken to Twitter claiming the shooting of Harambe to ostensibly save the life of Isaiah was yet another example what some have labeled "white privilege." Examples of the outraged include the following:
Isa Ibn @IsaIbnOfficial – That gorilla was taken from it's homeland, put in captivity, and then killed to preserve White life. That sounds familiar…
Why Is This Hardcore Conservative Not #NeverTrump? Because Hillary Is So Much Worse – Kurt Schlichter
I've got a lot of #NeverTrump friends. Heck, I bet most of my friends are #NeverTrump. Hell, my wife is #NeverTrump. I like #NeverTrump people, even though I think they're wrong. We share the same goals. We just have really crappy choices and are making different ones.
I assume they all think I'm wrong too, and I'm not going to argue with them. For one thing, they're my friends. I don't want to argue with my friends. I want to mock stupid libs with my friends while consuming red meat and redder wine. The second reason is that I'm not going to change their minds, nor are they going to change mine (although Donald Trump himself still retains that power should he become sufficiently annoying).
So we should just sit down, have some beers, and talk about something else until November because we're not going to change and fighting each other redirects the fire away from our real enemy.
That's Hillary Clinton. She's the real enemy.
So these aren't arguments. These are reasons. Why am I giving my general election vote to somebody who is often demonstrably unconservative, can be dreadfully immature, and who has a past that's absolutely bloodcurdling to any conservative? Well, I'll tell you.
Hillary is worse.
It's that simple.
Hillary is worse…
Homeowner Fills Yard With Memorial Day Flags, Crosses Honoring Fallen Heroes – Fox News
A Central California homeowner is turning his front yard into a fallen heroes memorial for Memorial Day.
Dan Joseph tells tells Fox40 the display in the front yard of his home in Modesto is dedicated to those from the Central Valley who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. He says it is the least he can do to honor their memory.
"I feel saddened, you know for the loss, but I also feel very grateful because it's because of their sacrifice that we are free today," Joseph told Fox40.
There are 55 flags and crosses on display, one for each Central Valley service member who was killed. There's also a big sign that says "Here We Remember the Cost of Freedom."…
Vietnamese Communist Leader Says U.S. Anti-War Activists Helped Their Victory – Daily Caller
In the weeks leading up to Memorial Day and President Barack Obama's scheduled trip to Vietnam, a prominent Vietcong communist leader privately thanked American anti-war activists for helping defeat the U.S.-allied government in Vietnam in the 1970s, saying protest demonstrations throughout the United States were "extremely important in contributing to Vietnam's victory."
For Vietnamese guerrilla leader Madam Nguyen Thi Binh, who sent the private letter from Hanoi dated April 20, "victory" meant the communist takeover of South Vietnam. The letter addressed veteran American anti-war activists who gathered in Washington, D.C., at a May 3 reunion of radical "May Day" anti-war leaders.
The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained a copy of the letter at the meeting.
Binh, now age 90, originally served as the highest ranking Vietnamese delegate to the Paris Peace Talks that imposed a ceasefire in the country in 1973.
The "Vietcong" was a ragtag group of communist guerrillas who were allied with the official communist government in North Vietnam. The country was cut in two in 1954, with the south seeking to build a democratic state allied to the West.
Binh's frank admission highlights a secret side of the communist's effective lobbying influence in the United States. Rather than live in the southern part of the country, which for decades she represented as a diplomat, it appears after the war Binh was living in Hanoi, the original capital of North Vietnam…
Trump Exposes California Drought As Man-Made, Caused By Over-Protecting A 2-Inch Fish – TruthFeed
Friday, during a rally in Fresno, California Trump asked farmers "Is there a drought?" he then exposed a little known truth "No, we have plenty of water. We shove it out to see."
You see, radical environmentalists have been starving California farmers of water in order to protect a 2-3 inch fish called the "delta smelt." The slithery fish is said to smell like cucumbers and is only found in the San Francisco Bay area.
In order to protect this little fish, California officials have been shutting down massive water pumps, depriving farmers of the ability to create food and choosing the fish over humans.
This problem has been ongoing for years. March 2014, the Committee on Natural Resources held an oversight field hearing in Fresno, CA on "California Water Crisis and Its Impacts: The Need for Immediate and Long-Term Solutions."…
Why The "Scar Tissue" Excuse For Hillary's Document Destruction Fails – Paul Mirengoff
Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post offers a familiar excuse for Hillary Clinton's insistence on using a private email server. According to Marcus, "the scar tissue built up over years of politically motivated attacks and endless investigations reinforced Clinton's instinct for the protective crouch."
Marcus' explanation sounds plausible, but it happens to be false (except for the part about "instinct for the protective crouch").
We know the explanation is false because Clinton engaged in similar behavior before she came to Washington as First Lady. I'm referring to her handling of her law firm's billing records in the Castle Grande matter, which I discussed at length here," in a post based mainly on the evidence developed by the Office of Independent Counsel that investigated "Whitewater."
Clinton stole and/or caused to be destroyed the records that established her role as the attorney for participants in the fraudulent Castle Grande scheme. She did so to avoid the political price she feared would be exacted if, with candidate Bill Clinton decrying the "decade of greed" that had brought on the S&L scandals, she was exposed as having been the lawyer for a crooked S&L.
For this purpose, Clinton, working with Webster Hubbell and Vince Foster, stole hard copies of the billing records of the Rose law firm where they were partners. They erased the electronic version of these records. One set of the documents was later found in the White House, just outside Hillary's private office, by an employee. Another set was found in Foster's attic by his widow, some years after he committed suicide. Clinton's time sheets (handwritten, as was the practice back in the day) were never found…
Louisiana Lawmaker Labels Declaration Of Independence Racist In Debate – Fox News
The Declaration of Independence came under attack from an unlikely quarter – a state legislator.
Louisiana lawmaker Barbara Norton (D-Shreveport), argued that America's founding document was racist during debate on a bill requiring public school students in the state to recite the Declaration of Independence daily, Fox & Friends reported Saturday.
"For the Declaration of Independence only Caucasians (were) free," Norton, who is black, said Wednesday during the debate on the floor of the Louisiana House of Representatives. "And for you to bring a bill to require that our children will recite the Declaration of Independence I think it's a little bit unfair."
Rep. Valarie Hodges (R-Denham Springs) shelved the bill before lawmakers could vote on the proposal, which she sponsored…
27-Year-Old Thug Arrested For Intentionally Driving Vehicle Over Memorial Day Cross Display – 100PercentFedUp
A Henderson, Ky. man has been arrested after he allegedly damaged more than 150 crosses in the city's Memorial Day cross display with his vehicle early Saturday, according to officials.
According to Henderson Police Public Information Officer Jennifer Richmond, Anthony Burrus, 27, was arrested in connection with the incident that took place in Central Park at around 6 a.m. Roughly 160 crosses were knocked down and about 20 were destroyed.
The vehicle Burrus was driving, a 1979 Ford Thunderbird, was found with pieces of a cross and ground stake embedded in the tires after he left it at the McDonald's restaurant on South Green Street. Richmond said Burrus denied causing the damage in the park, but confirmed he was driving the vehicle earlier this morning and left it after it stopped working.
Henderson police officers and deputies from the Henderson County Sheriff's Office investigated the incident.
Burrus was found and arrested at his sister's apartment complex on Zion Road, and is being held at the Henderson County Detention Center. He is charged with first degree criminal mischief and leaving the scene of an accident.
Richmond said a large number of tips, Facebook posts, and vehicle searches helped officers make the connection and arrest Burrus…
Trump Vows To Undo Paris Climate Agreement – Daily Insider
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has unveiled his energy policy, calling for stripping back Environmental Protection Agency protections, reigniting the coal industry, increasing fossil fuel drilling and withdrawing from the 2015 Paris climate agreement.
On May 26, Trump delivered a speech outlining his energy plan in Bismarck, North Dakota. The policy proposals seemed to be a complete reversal of President Barack Obama's energy achievements, The New York Times reports.
"We're going to deal with real environmental challenges, not the phoney ones we've been hearing about," Trump said.
The business mogul vowed to rescind the EPA's Clean Power Plan, an ambitious effort to curb U.S. emissions of greenhouse gas emissions by 28 percent by 2025…
As Charters Grow, Public Schools See Sharp Enrollment Drop – Associated Press
Standing before the Los Angeles Unified School Board, Susan Zoller delivered a startling assessment: More than 100,000 students in the nation's second-largest district were now enrolled in charters, draining more than $500 million from the budget in a single academic year.
"The financial future of Los Angeles is difficult," said Zoller, a consultant hired by the district's union. Board member Richard Vladovic leaned anxiously toward his mic.
"We are bleeding," he said.
If current trends continue, the district could be significantly diminished in another 10 years – at least a third smaller than at the start of the century.
In financially struggling urban districts from LA to Philadelphia – and most notoriously, Detroit – the increasing popularity of charter schools, combined with family flight to the suburbs and declining birth rates, have caused enrollment to plummet. The changes have unfolded slowly for years and recently accelerated in some places.
"It's come to a tipping point for many of these districts like Detroit," said Ron Zimmer, an education professor at Vanderbilt University…
Canadian Wildfire That Scorched 495,000 Acres And Left More Than 88,000 Homeless Is Expected To Burn For Months – Daily Mail
These astonishing photographs taken from space reveal the true scale of the wildfires obliterating Alberta.
The remarkable pictures taken by British astronaut Tim Peake from the International Space Station show thick smoke pouring over Canada.
The massive blaze is set to cover more than 200,000 hectares (495,000 acres) by the end of Sunday because of high temperatures, dry conditions and high winds.
Wildfires could rage on for months, officials warned, with fears they could double in size and reach a major oil sands mine…
The 'Never Trump' Pouters – David Horowitz
The conservatives who have declared war on the primary victor are displaying a myopia that could be deadly in November when Donald Trump will lead Republicans against a party that has divided the country, destroyed its borders, empowered its enemies, and put 93 million Americans into dependency on the state.
This reckless disregard for consequences is matched only by a blindness to what has made Trump the presumptive nominee. When he entered the Republican primaries a year ago, Trump was given no chance of surviving even the first contest, let alone becoming the Republican nominee. That was the view of all the experts, and especially those experts with the best records of prediction.
Trump – who had never held political office and had no experience in any political job – faced a field of sixteen tested political leaders, including nine governors and five senators from major states. Most of his political opponents were conservatives. During the primaries, several hundred million dollars were spent in negative campaign ads – nastier and more personal than in any Republican primary in memory…

Obama Embraces 'Transgender' Moms In Mother's Day Decree – WorldNetDaily
In his 2016 Mother's Day proclamation, President Obama included a new class of mothers in his announcement: transgenders.
"On Mother's Day, we celebrate those who are first to welcome us into the world," Obama began. "Performing the most important work there is, mothers – biological, foster, or adoptive – are our first role models and earliest motivators. They balance enormous responsibilities and shape who we become as adults, their lessons guiding us through life."
The president continued, "Regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status, mothers have always moved our nation forward and remained steadfast in their pursuit of a better and brighter future for their children."
The inclusion of "gender identity" in the White House proclamation is a new development this year.
In 2015, Obama didn't include it but gave a shout-out to mothers who are "married or single, LGBT or straight, biological, adoptive, or foster."…
Benghazi Committee Chairman Gowdy Sends Scathing Letter In Response To Pentagon Critique – The Blaze
The chairman of the House Benghazi panel fired back Friday at the Defense Department for criticizing the Republican-led investigation into the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., outlined his objections in a letter to Defense Secretary Ash Carter, telling the Pentagon chief that his top assistant for legislative affairs had in recent correspondence intentionally mischaracterized the inquiry.
"It is also riddled with factual inaccuracies, which not only does a disservice to the public but also does a disservice to the women and men who work for the Department of Defense," Gowdy wrote…

New Documents Prove Hillary Told Conflicting Stories About Video Blamed For Benghazi Attacks – Daily Caller
New State Department documents belatedly provided to the watchdog group Judicial Watch show that Hillary Clinton told different stories as secretary of state to different foreign leaders about a YouTube video that the Obama administration falsely blamed for the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks.
The documents, which Judicial Watch obtained last month, include notes of calls that Clinton had with world leaders after the terrorist attacks.
One set of notes comes from a Sept. 15 telephone call Clinton had with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr. During the chat, Clinton referred to the "stupid, very offensive film" as the root cause of the Benghazi violence, which left four Americans dead.
"I have repeatedly, as has the President and other officials in our government, deplored not only the content of this stupid, very offensive film, but also intentional efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others," Clinton told Amr.
"This runs counter to American history and the Constitution. But we've made clear that violent attacks are never justified in any religion," she continued, adding that "we have to exercise more self-discipline."
That call took place a day before then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on several Sunday morning talk shows to blame the "heinous and offensive video" as the impetus for the attacks.
Clinton also appeared to blame the film – "Innocence of Muslims" – in a Sept. 12 call with Afghan President Hamid Kharzi.
"We appreciate your statement in response to the video. Especially, the point that the people that make these kind of videos are a fringe group," Clinton said during the call.
"We need to talk about religious feelings and insults and defamation," she added.
Judicial Watch says that the State Department provided those call notes only last month in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. It is unclear why it took so long for the agency to hand over the documents.
Also unclear is why in other private conversations Clinton claimed that the video was not the spark for the Benghazi attacks.
During a Sept. 12 phone call with then-Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Kandil Clinton said that the Benghazi attacks "had nothing to do with the film."
"You're not kidding. Based on the information we saw today we believe that group that claimed responsibility for this is affiliated with al-Qaeda," Kandil responded to Clinton during their chat.
Clinton's call with Kandil was referred to during Clinton's Oct. 22 testimony in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi. As was an email that Clinton exchanged with her daughter, Chelsea, on the night of the attack. In that email she acknowledged that an "Al Qaeda-like group" had carried out the attack.
But Clinton's comments in those communiques were at odds with the public position that she and others in the Obama administration took in the days after the attack.
"Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet," Clinton said in a White House-approved statement on the night of the onslaught. "The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others."
Further complicating matters is Clinton's statement during the Oct. 22 Select Committee hearing and during a Democratic debate that she believes that the video did play a role in the Bengahzi attacks.
"Congressman, I believe to this day the video played a role," she told Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan
during the Benghazi hearing.
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said that the new documents show that Clinton offered inconsistent stories about the root cause of the attacks.
"There are two scandals here," Fitton said in a statement.
"The first is Hillary Clinton was telling different stories to different foreign leaders about the Benghazi attack – including an admission that it was a terrorist attack."
The second, he said "is the State Department's cover-up of these documents."
He accused the agency of playing "whack-a-mole" with the Benghazi documents.
"It is no wonder that two frustrated federal court judges granted Judicial Watch discovery into the Clinton FOIA issues."
Connecticut Judge: Sandy Hook Lawsuit Against Gun Manufacturer Can Go Forward – The Blaze
A Connecticut Superior Court judge ruled Thursday that a lawsuit against the maker of a rifle used in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings can go forward.
Under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, gun manufacturers are generally not able to be held liable for crimes committed with their products.
However, Judge Barbara Bellis ruled that the PLCAA does not prevent lawyers for the families of Sandy Hook victims from arguing that the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle is a military weapon and should not have been sold to civilians.
More from the Hartford Courant:
The lawsuit accuses the Remington Arms Co. and other defendants of negligently selling to civilians a weapon the plaintiffs claim is suitable only for the military and law enforcement. At a hearing in February, Bridgeport lawyer Josh Koskoff argued against dismissing the case, saying the lawsuit's claim of "negligent entrustment" is an exception to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.
Bellis agreed with the plaintiffs that she has the jurisdiction to continue with the case, but she did not rule whether or not the PLCAA actually blocks the plaintiffs and their attorneys from pursing their lawsuit.
"At this juncture, the court need not and will not consider the merits of the plaintiffs' negligent entrustment theory," Bellis wrote.
Koskoff, the plaintiffs' lead attorney, was happy with the decision.
"We are thrilled that the gun companies' motion to dismiss was denied," he said in a statement, according to Newsweek. "The families look forward to continuing their fight in court."
Fortunately for Koskoff, they won't have to wait long. The two sides are due back in court Tuesday.
Alleged Brussels Terrorist Was Star Of Documentary About Successful Integration Of Immigrants – Breitbart
The Syrian-origin Swedish passport holder arrested in Belgium last week for his involvement in the Brussels bomb attacks is a former poster boy for Sweden's efforts at integrating migrants into their society.
Now accused of murder, and captured on CCTV cameras carrying bags which contained the explosive devices which killed 32 civilians, Islamist Osama Krayem had once been hailed as a model of integration. A former employee of the city of Malmo, at the age of 11 Osama starred in a documentary about migrants in Sweden.
Both of Osama's parents are Syrian migrants to Sweden, and have told tabloid Aftonbladet they wanted to see their son integrate into Swedish society. The family featured in a 2005 documentary called 'Without Borders – A Film About Sport And Integration', in which football-mad Krayem demonstrated how the Malmo football team had helped him settle into Swedish society.
The club had run an integration project, encouraging local migrant youth to play football. Club marketing manager Christer Girke said of the programme: "We wanted to show the importance of integration… the boys were to go to the association to see what the other Swedes did and get to know the [football] associations were important, how it can be a gateway to jobs and much more".
At the time of the film's release, he had told local media: "90 percent of our members have a migrant background, as this integration is something I think a lot about. With this project we want to take responsibility for the society we all be living in formed. And how we are formed as people".
A school friend told the paper that he was "noticeable" by the fact he didn't party or drink because of his religion. Even when Krayem started posting pictures of himself on Facebook with Islamic State flags and guns, his old friends didn't think anything was wrong. One said he just thought Krayem was trying to be "cool", and that was just what "young people are doing".
Shot with a budget of £22,000, an opening-night review of 'Without Borders; in Sydsvenskan hailed the "football mad sons" of the Krayem family – the central players in the film – as showing "the essential role of sport for integration".
When Osama Krayem got a job with Malmo city council as a management intern, he may have been displaying the outward signs of assimilation that were expected of him, but what his employers did not know is that he was saving his salary to buy tickets to Syria. He worked for a year, before suddenly failing to turn up for work one day in 2014.
Osama had successfully joined the Islamic State and started posting pictures of his exploits on Facebook. A year later, Krayem has swapped the migrant enclave he had grown up in – Rosengard – for another. Traveling through Greece as a refugee, he came to reside in Molenbeek, Brussels, he took on took a leading role in organising the bomb attacks.
That superficially well integrated migrants could be plotting attacks or engaging in criminal activity is not a phenomenon limited to Sweden. Breitbart London reported in January on four "unaccompanied minor" migrants who sexually abused young girls at their new school shortly after arrival.
The headmistress of the school responsible for the boys, who abused girls as young as 14, said they were ""integrating themselves very well" into Austrian society.
Family Of Late Navy Seal Vet Fighting Deportation – WFXT
The family of a highly decorated U.S. Navy Seal veteran who died of cancer two months before his wedding is fighting the deportation of his Thai fiancee, the mother of his 11-year-old daughter.
Tim Farrell served 21 years for his country before moving to Thailand in 1998. There, he met Bao, and in 2004, the couple welcomed their daughter, Thawan.
Tim, a North Andover native, was diagnosed with terminal cancer in June, and, by August, he had bought a house and moved his family to Derry, New Hampshire, so that Thawan could continue the education she started at a prestigious English-language school in Thailand. Tim had always planned to move his daughter to the United States for school, but hastened his plans as he became sick.
Tim died on Dec. 26, two months before he and Bao were to marry and get Bao a green card. Now Bao's visiting visa has expired and she has filed for an extension through August, as Tim's siblings reach out to attorneys and politicians in the hope of securing her a green card.
Thawan is a U.S. citizen and can stay in the country, but, at just 11 years old, the fifth-grader needs her mom.
"It's been really hard without my dad, and my mom is here for me. So that's why I really want her to stay with me," Thawan said, through tears. "I want to ask them, 'Why she can't stay here with me?"
But attorneys and the offices of elected officials have told the family the situation is bleak and there may be no avoiding deportation.
"I literally was standing by his bed when he died, and I told him, 'I'll make sure your family stays here,'" said Tim's sister Janice Moro, who started an online petition to help her sister-in-law stay in the country. "I can't expect that anyone would want to separate mom and daughter."
Immigration attorney Randall Drew, whose office is in Bedford, New Hampshire, told FOX25's Christine McCarthy that the family's situation is dire, but there are some possible options.
"It's a pretty tough spot to be in," Drew said. "What needs to happen is the government needs to execute some prosecutorial discretion and allow her to stay, grant her something called deferred action or perhaps humanitarian parole."
That outcome is rare, Drew said, but the family's situation is extreme.
Another possibility, Drew said, is to apply for a green card through a common-law marriage after death.
"There is a section in the New Hampshire law that states, if you've lived together as a married couple and held yourself out as such for the past three years or more and one of the partners dies, under that limited set of circumstances, the person can be recognized as the spouse of the deceased," Drew said.
If Bao qualifies as a common-law spouse, she would then need to self-petition for her green card as the spouse of a service member. That, in conjunction with proof that Tim's time in the service might have contributed to his illness or aggravated it, could help her.
Drew recommended the family reach out to elected officials and appeal for help, while also working with both an immigration attorney and a family law attorney.
"It doesn't seem fair," Moro said. "Twenty-one years he gave for this country. They should be able to do something."
Shocking Statistic: Over 40% Of Student Borrowers Don't Make Payments – Zero Hedge
Over 40 percent of those in student loan programs have stopped making payments. Many borrowers have never made any payments.
The department of education (a useless body that I would eliminate in one second if given the chance), cannot figure out why this is happening.
"We obviously have not cracked that nut but we want to keep working on it," said Ted Mitchell, the Education Department's under secretary.
The Wall Street Journal reports More Than 40% of Student Borrowers Aren't Making Payments.
More than 40% of Americans who borrowed from the government's main student-loan program aren't making payments or are behind on more than $200 billion owed, raising worries that millions of them may never repay.
While most have since left school and joined the workforce, 43% of the roughly 22 million Americans with federal student loans weren't making payments as of Jan. 1, according to a quarterly snapshot of the Education Department's $1.2 trillion student-loan portfolio.
About 1 in 6 borrowers, or 3.6 million, were in default on $56 billion in student debt, meaning they had gone at least a year without making a payment. Three million more owing roughly $66 billion were at least a month behind.
Meantime, another three million owing almost $110 billion were in "forbearance" or "deferment," meaning they had received permission to temporarily halt payments due to a financial emergency, such as unemployment. The figures exclude borrowers still in school and those with government-guaranteed private loans.
Navient Corp., which services student loans and offers payment plans tied to income, says it attempts to reach each borrower on average 230 to 300 times – through letters, emails, calls and text messages – in the year leading up to his or her default. Ninety percent of those borrowers, which include federal borrowers as well as those who hold private loans, never respond and more than half never make a single payment before they default, the company says.
Crisis Easy to Explain
Carlo Salerno, an economist who studies higher education and has consulted for the private student-lending industry, noted that the government imposes virtually no credit checks on borrowers, requires no cosigners and doesn't screen people for their preparedness for college-level course work. "On what planet does a financing vehicle with those kinds of terms and those kinds of performance metrics make sense," he said.
I could easily come up with numerous reasons off the top of my head.
1. Being in the workforce and having a job are two different things.
2. Having a job and making enough money to pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars is yet another thing.
3. Some feel cheated by the system, as well they should.
4. Many have figured out the consequences of default are small. The worst that can happen is wage garnishment. Should that happen, one can always find another low-paying job, buying time until they are discovered again.
5. Some never intended to pay back the loans in the first place. To those borrowers, it's all free money for a few years. They will stay in school as long as they can. If by some miracle they actually graduate (or are kicked out), they never make a payment.
Blame Bush!
A large portion of the blame for this mess goes to George W. Bush. Seriously.
The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act enacted April 20, 2005 made it much more difficult to discharge debts in bankruptcy.
Among other things, "BAPCPA amended the law to broaden the types of educational ("student") loans that cannot be discharged in bankruptcy absent proof of "undue hardship." The nature of the lender became irrelevant. Even loans from "for-profit" or "non-governmental" entities are not dischargeable.
The Deflation Guarantee Act of 2005
I predicted this mess when Bush signed the bill. As proof, I offer The Deflation Guarantee Act of 2005.
Here are my lead paragraphs as I wrote them at the time.
Today Congress passed the "The Deflation Guarantee Act of 2005" currently known as the "Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005". Twenty years from now economists are going to be studying legislation from this Congress and signed by this administration and be wondering: "What the * were they thinking?".
Consumer Protection Act? LMAO
Anytime this administration passes a law with the "protection" in it, assume it will do just the opposite.
Student Debt Highly Deflationary
I have wanted to refer back to that post on numerous occasions.
I had not done so previously because I strongly dislike my writing style in those days. I frequently used chat room talk like "LMAO" (laughing my ass off), in those early posts.
There are other aspects of my 2005 post that I dislike as well. However, I nailed the idea correctly. Student debt is a hugely deflationary force.
In the wake of that act (albeit with a bit of a delay), we saw massive amounts of seemingly reckless lending to students. Because of government guarantees, lenders did not give a damn who they lent to.
For profit universities flourished. Abuses at the University of Phoenix became rampant. And because of various lending programs that followed, education costs soared as well.
Those debts cannot be paid back, and household formation has gone into reverse. Students moved back home after graduation, and attitudes on debt have changed.
These are all debt deflation forces.
Modest Fee Request
The Department of Education will no doubt waste millions of taxpayer dollars studying this issue, only to come up with the wrong answers because students will lie.
Will anyone realistically admit "I never intended to pay back these loans"?
My modest fee for this analysis is a mere $250,000. Of that amount, I pledge $249,999.99 to the Khan Academy.
All I ask is a penny for my thoughts, saving taxpayers countless millions in useless department of education studies.

There is plenty of blame to go around, but I have not seen a single person take this crisis back to the logical origin, the "Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005" making student debt non-dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Why Are Rich Democrats Fleeing Chicago – R. L. Grimes
It's nice to be rich, and not just because you don't have to worry about where your next meal is coming from. No, being a millionaire is the ultimate definition of "never having to say you're sorry." But now Chicago millionaires are fleeing the city due to concerns over racial tensions and rising crime rates, according to a report by research firm New World Wealth. That's right, the very people that have milked the city dry through corruption and bribery for the last 90 years, are packing their bags and leaving the ruins to the rabble, you.
"About 3,000 individuals with net assets of $1 million or more, not including the value of their primary residences, moved from the city last year, with many citing rising racial tensions and worries about crime as factors in the decision," says the report. Chicago is third on the list of cities experiencing an exodus of millionaires, behind Paris and Rome. Both of which are cities that have been ran by Socialist administrations since the last world war. The French capital lost a stunning 7,000 millionaires – 6 per cent – over the last year alone, while Rome lost 5,000 or 7 per cent.
Increasing wealth inequality combined with the rise of extreme protest movements like 'Black Lives Matter' provide a toxic cocktail that virtually guarantees social disorder. Wealthy elites are also installing panic rooms in their big city apartments due to fears over potential civil unrest and skyrocketing crime. "The world is a very scary place right now, especially for people of means; they feel cornered and threatened," Tom Gaffney, the president of Gaffco Ballistics, a company which installs safe rooms in New York City, told the NY Times.
Fearing global unrest and the possibility of another major conflict, many members of the elite have also been buying remote property and land in places like New Zealand, according to reports that emerged out of last year's Davos Economic Forum. Economist Robert Johnson said the rich were making such purchases "because they think they need a getaway" from Ferguson-style riots that will erupt as a result of widening wealth inequality, which it at its worse in virtually all developed countries since the 1980s. According to realtors involved in the sale of remote property, the elite are concerned about "what is happening around them" and are looking for stable areas of the world to both live and store their wealth due to their "paranoia" over the precarious global situation.
Previously Deported Illegal Alien May Face Charges For Killing Texas Firefighter, 2 Children – Breitbart
An illegal alien who hit a Texas firefighter head-on and killed him and his four-year-old stepdaughter and 22-month-old son will be charged with criminally negligent homicide if he recovers from his critical injuries.
The man did not have a drivers license and was in the country illegally, according to the CBS affiliate for Dallas/Fort Worth. He first came to the U.S. in 2006 but was deported in 2008.
L.P. Phillips of KRLD radio in Dallas spoke to ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) officials who verified that Margarito Quintero was an illegal alien.
CBS DFW reported that ICE officials had no contact with Quintero until the accident.
Section 19.05 of the Texas Penal Code provides that "A person commits an offense if he causes the death of an individual by criminal negligence." This offense is a state jail felony.
The North Texas volunteer firefighter, Captain Peter Hacking was hit head-on by Quintero. The 36-year-old father leaves a wife, a son, and four stepchildren.
"He was a great family man, that was first, family was first always and his fire department family," firefighter Amy Cortez told the CBS affiliate. Captain Hacking was reported to always have a smile and be ready for telling a joke. He lived with his children in Nevada, a small community in Collin County. The volunteer fire department protects both the Nevada and Levon communities.
A fund has been set up for the family at the Independent Bank. A gofundme account has also been established to assist his widow and their surviving children.
The funerals for Captian Hacking and his two young children will be held this Saturday.
Manufacturing Recession Deepens: Factory Orders Drop To Five Year Low; 16 Consecutive Declines – Zero Hedge
In 60 years, the U.S. economy has not suffered a 16-month continuous YoY drop in Factory orders without being in recession. Moments ago the Department of Commerce confirmed that this is precisely what the U.S. economy did, when factory orders not only dropped for the 16th consecutive month Y/Y, after declining 1.7% from last month…
…but at $454 billion for the headline number, this was the lowest print since the summer of 2011.
Market reaction: stocks rebound on the news and are now well in the green.

Elle MacPherson in MiH Jeans
Elle MacPherson got snapped by the paps as usual after dropping her children off at school in London, England. This time Elle chose to wear a pair of white MiH jeans with wedges and a bright orange top. I know Elle has long legs but I feel like she should have worn lower shoes, they make her jeans too short here unfortunately.
I do love the bright colours that Elle likes to wear, she always makes her outfits fun. I still haven't tried a pair of MiH flared jeans yet, I should have since they are one of the leading brands for flared jeans so I think I will need to soon.

'In so many ways, we are less sheltered by bricks-and-mortar thinking – so why own a bunch of insanely expensive bricks and mortar?'
Something about this subject muddles Canadians. We see the rise in real estate as an affront to our values.
Lauren Heuser: Until there's a national-level program, provinces will still want to bus their homeless problem to more generous areas.
Though the assessment is remarkably low for a city where paying $2 million for a teardown has become routine, its value still rose by 16.6 per cent over last year
Letter writers discuss whether real estate is a good investment, and other issues of the day.
Matt Gurney: A marriage in ruins, creditors calling, a legal agreement effectively entered into ... and the entire deal was put on the line over a spiffy but easily replaceable cooking implement
What started as a pilot project in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside is expanding in the city — and the same model is set to be stacked up in B.C., Alberta and Nunavut
This is a problem entirely created by the city government and its policies. It could be fixed just as easily
The 28,000 sq. ft. Bridle Path mansion on a gated property of more than four acres was once owned by Canadian real estate tycoon Robert Campeau
Legalizing secondary suites is one of the few policy solutions with the potential to significantly increase the supply of rental units and drive down prices, without placing a burden on the taxpayers.

Peru beachesTags: beaches in Peru, beaches of Peru, Peru, Peru beach, Peru beaches, peruvian beaches, sandy beaches of Peru
When you are planning a beach holiday you probably don't immediately think of Peru, but this South American country has a Pacific facing coastline of over 2,500 km, which is dotted with some of the most beautiful and exotic beachfronts in the world.
For those that like the glamorous life there are a number of top class beach resorts, particularly to the south of Lima, which is the capital city. Here you will find long stretches of white sandy beaches, washed by the cool clean waters of the Pacific ocean, which are perfect from peaceful sunbathing, and also a variety of water sports including scuba diving, snorkeling, yachting and jet skiing. Some of the beaches in Peru are not suitable for swimming, as there are some tricky underwater currents and water quality is poor in some areas, so make sure you check each beach out before you jump straight in the water.
