Italy losing culture to immigrant influx - Washington Times

Italy losing culture to immigrant influx - Washington Times:

"Then there’s history. The Muslim presence in Sicily lasted nearly five centuries, 827-1300, and although less celebrated than Andalusia, Islamists remember that era and want Sicily back. Rome, the seat of the Catholic Church, represents a paramount symbol of Islamist ire and ambition, making it highly likely to be a target of jihadi violence.
Demographic trends are even worse than in northern Europe, with a Total Fertility Rate (the number of children per woman) of 1.3, well below that of neighboring France (2.0). Journalist Giulio Meotti tells me that the migrant TFR is almost 2.0 and the indigenous Italian is about 0.9. Some small towns face extinction; One of them, Candela, which has seen its population shrink from 8,000 in the 1990s to 2,700 today, has responded by offering cold cash to induce economically productive immigrants to settle there. Italy’s health minister, Beatrice Lorenzin, has called the demographic trend “an apocalypse.”"

Our Political Discourse Is Madness, and Madness Is Being Born From It

Our Political Discourse Is Madness, and Madness Is Being Born From It
"...It was a cruel weekend. 
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul was attacked from behind by his neighbor while the Senator was mowing the grass. 
Five of his ribs were broken. 
...If that was the worst of it that would be bad enough, but it wasn’t, and the events that took place on Sunday were simply horrifying.
...What hit me went beyond the fact that innocent people were being harmed by crazed individuals. 
It was the reaction to it that hit me.
According to many, Rand Paul deserved to be attacked by his neighbor. 
To people in my timeline, it was right that those Christians died. 
Why?
Because Rand Paul is a Republican. 
Because those Christians were white and in Texas, and that means they have to be Republicans.
Some took a different tac, and immediately attacked Republicans for the Sutherland Springs attack whole hog like Chelsea Handler did. 
For her, it was the Republicans’ fault because they like guns. 
Or for others, it was the NRA’s fault, because they’re supposedly putting guns into the hands of anything with a pulse.
Despite my years of working in the media and being confronted with all the worst humanity has to offer, it’s things like this that I still cannot wrap my head around. 
...But in a time when our nation is bleeding, the idea that a mob could unite to further turn on their fellow countrymen is still a thing I cannot understand.
...Why would the mob condemn the targeting of one group on one day, and celebrate the targeting of another group the next? 
...Has the media painted the right as evil so well that people literally think that the average white Christian is akin to a terrorist, and must be eliminated?..."

Atheist Immigrant Sues Government For Having 'So Help Me God' in Citizenship Oath | Daily Wire

Atheist Immigrant Sues Government For Having 'So Help Me God' in Citizenship Oath | Daily Wire:

"So she filed a lawsuit.

“By its very nature, an oath that concludes “so help me God” is asserting that God exists,” says the lawsuit, filed in federal court on Thursday. “Accordingly, the current oath violates the first ten words of the Bill of Rights, and to participate in a ceremony which violates that key portion of the United States Constitution is not supporting or defending the Constitution as the oath demands.”
Here's where the story veers into stupid."

Hillary Clinton Given 'Democratic Woman of the Year" Award

Hillary Clinton Given 'Democratic Woman of the Year" Award
"Hillary Clinton was awarded "the 2017 Democratic Woman of the Year Award" Thursday, as an explosive tell-all about how she secretly took over the DNC to rig the 2016 primaries rocked the political world. 
The award was given by the Woman’s National Democratic Club in recognition of Clinton's "extraordinary contributions to American politics and international affairs, as well as the inspiration she has provided to women and girls around the world.”

"Extraordinary contributions to American politics" -- well, that's one way of putting it.

In an excerpt from her new book Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns that Put Donald Trump in the White House, 2016 interim DNC chair Donna Brazile described what happened after she promised Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders that she would look into allegations of collusion between the DNC and Clinton.

Cleta Mitchell: Brazile describes “a massive violation of federal law” that “triggers criminal penalties” | Power Line: 
"CLETA MITCHELL: BRAZILE DESCRIBES “A MASSIVE VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW” THAT “TRIGGERS CRIMINAL PENALTIES”
I’m not on Facebook, but I was told that Cleta Mitchell’s page contains a brief discussion of the legal implications of the Hillary Clinton-DNC scandal. 
As many of our readers know, Cleta Mitchell is a star lawyer. 
She has played a leading role in defending conservatives targeted by the IRS under the Obama administration and in pushing to hold the IRS accountable for the targeting.
Here is Cleta’s take on the Clinton-DNC scandal as it appears appears on Facebook, according to what I was told (her first sentence is a quote from Donna Brazile):
“Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to Brooklyn.”
If this statement by Donna Brazile is true and if those transfers actually happened, then what she says the DNC and the Clinton campaign did was a massive violation of federal law, and triggers criminal penalties..."

Sheriff David Clarke: Congressional Black Caucus - 'Purveyors of Black Urban Decline'

Sheriff David Clarke: Congressional Black Caucus - 'Purveyors of Black Urban Decline':

"Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has indicted the Congressional Black Caucus as being a major reason black Americans have not achieved success.

“The CBC has been appointed gatekeepers by the liberal white establishment to keep blacks tethered to the plantation of liberal ideology and to go after anyone who dare escape,” Clarke wrote in an op-ed on TownHall.

Clarke, a senior adviser for America First Action, said that the CBC’s opposition to school choice efforts championed by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is typical of the bad policies pushed by the liberal Democrat caucus."

Obviously a lot of swamp still needs to be drained - Ice Age Now
"Does the federal bureaucracy think the public is too dumb to look at history?

“U.S. Report Says Humans Cause Climate Change, Contradicting Top Trump Officials,” crows the headline in The New York Times.

“Directly contradicting much of the Trump administration’s position on climate change, 13 federal agencies unveiled an exhaustive scientific report on Friday that says humans are the dominant cause of the global temperature rise that has created the warmest period in the history of civilization. (italics added)

“Over the past 115 years global average temperatures have increased 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, leading to record-breaking weather events and temperature extremes, the report says.” (italics added)

Similar articles sprouted up on many Elite Media websites, including msn.com:

“The report affirms that climate change is driven almost entirely by human action, warns of potential sea level rise as high as 8 feet by the year 2100, and enumerates myriad climate-related damages across the United States that are already occurring due to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit of global warming since 1900.” gloats msn.com. (Italics added)

“The report’s release underscores the extent to which the machinery of the federal scientific establishment… continues to grind on.” (italics added)

But wait a minute. 
Did you notice how far back the report goes? 
“Since 1900.” 
“Over the past 115 years.”

As far as I’m concerned, this report presents a blatant misrepresentation of the facts.

This has in no way been “the warmest period in the history of civilization.” 
Many ancient civilizations enjoyed far warmer climes than we are experiencing today.

Here’s a chart showing temperature variations during the past 11,500 years.

You don’t need a Ph.D. to see that temperatures have been falling for the last 8,000 years.
You also don’t need a Ph.D. to know that many civilizations flourished during that time. 

Ever heard of Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire? 

Ever heard of King Tut and the Egyptian Pharaohs? 

Ever heard of Alexander the Great?
Unfortunately, the federal bureaucracy does keep grinding us down. 

Perhaps it has to do with keeping their cushy, power-packed jobs?
I think this report shows the extent of the work that Trump still faces.
There’s still a lot of swamp to be drained..."

Millennials think socialism would create a great safe space, study finds | Fox News
"Nearly half of all U.S. millennials believe the greatest safe space of them all would be living under a socialist regime.

That’s according to a new study from research firm YouGov and Washington, D.C.-based Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, which surveyed over 2,000 people regarding their views on socialism and the communist political system. 

The biggest takeaway from the study was that one out of every two millennials surveyed said they would rather live in a socialist or communist country over a capitalist democracy like the U.S..."

Former Obama Official Slams Alarmist Climate Change Report As 'Misleading' Over These Claims | Daily Wire

Former Obama Official Slams Alarmist Climate Change Report As 'Misleading' Over These Claims | Daily Wire:

"One notable example of alarm-raising is the description of sea-level rise, one of the greatest climate concerns. The report ominously notes that while global sea level rose an average 0.05 inch a year during most of the 20th century, it has risen at about twice that rate since 1993. But it fails to mention that the rate fluctuated by comparable amounts several times during the 20th century. The same research papers the report cites show that recent rates are statistically indistinguishable from peak rates earlier in the 20th century, when human influences on the climate were much smaller. The report thus misleads by omission."

Nicholas Stix: Is the Final Solution To The German Question At Hand? | VDARE - premier news outlet for patriotic immigration reform:
"...Most unfortunate of all, re-unification gave us the monstrosity of Angela Merkel.
Since 2015, with the rest of the world, I have watched Merkel undertake the democide of Germany—part of the genocide of the white race, the ultimate end of what VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow has famously called “Hitler’s revenge.”
...Finally, in 2010, Socialist politician Thilo Sarrazin (right) published a study which showed Germany’s decline, including the problems Moslems were causing, Deutschland Schafft sich ab: Wie Wir Unser Land aufs Spiel Setzen (Germany Destroys Itself: How We Gamble with Our Country).
By then, Moslems comprised 6% of the populace—and 10% of newborn babies in Germany.
...And the Turks were angels compared to the Moslems who have subsequently invaded Germany.
In 2015, Christian-Democrat Chancellor Angela Merkel decided, in a conspiracy with other powers within and without the country, to end Germany.
She opened its gates to millions of Moslem fake “refugees” (not that real refugees would have been any better), military-aged men who came with smartphones that some entity, whom the media refused to name, had paid for, along with their usage.
Real refugees would have been overwhelmingly women and children, but this wave of “refugees,” who came to be known as “rapefugees” based on their behavior in Germany, consisted at least 70% of men. 
They immediately engaged in a crime wave, especially the massive rape and sexual molestation of German girls and women.
It was a conscious, invading army..."
Much here.
