France Deports 40 Muslim Religious Leaders! - Eagle Rising:
"France seems to have gained a spine over the past year and that is a good thing, and America should learn from what they have done. While the country still has "no-go zones," at least one French mayor has sought to ban Islam. The country was also the first to ban pro-terror Palestinian protests and they opened up their borders to Islamic State persecuted Christians from Iraq. Many even took to the streets to call for all Muslims to be removed from the European country in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo and Paris kosher market jihad attacks by trained Islamic State terrorists. Now France has issued a report that claims the country has expelled 40 Islamic imams."

No mention of our constitution or rule of law either-----Obama Leaves Out 'God' From 4th of July Weekly Address
Obama Leaves Out 'God' From 4th of July Weekly Address (VIDEO) - The Gateway Pundit:
As Obama’s term as President is slowly nearing its end, more and more of who the man is, and what he truly stands for, is beginning to seep out.
As Obama’s term as President is slowly nearing its end, more and more of who the man is, and what he truly stands for, is beginning to seep out.
For instance, President Obama released his 4th of July weekly address for 2015 with one key ingredient missing: God.
Unlike his weekly addresses during the previous two years, where the President concluded his speeches with “God Bless You All” (2014) and “So, God bless You All. And may God bless The United States of America” (2013), Obama left out any mention of God in his recent address.
Instead, this year, he chose to end his speech with a very politically correct, “Thanks, everybody. From my family to yours, have a safe and happy Fourth of July.”

Greece debt crisis: Milton Friedman's 1997 prediction of the eurozone disaster
Greece debt crisis: Milton Friedman's 1997 prediction of the eurozone disaster | afr.com
Penned in 1997, the late professor Milton Friedman, argued the drive for the Euro was motivated by politics not economics, aiming to make a future European war impossible.
He said that adoption of the Euro would have the opposite effect.
Here's what he wrote:
by Milton Friedman
A common currency is an excellent monetary arrangement under some circumstances, a poor monetary arrangement under others.
Whether it is good or bad depends primarily on the adjustment mechanisms that are available to absorb the economic shocks and dislocations that impinge on the various entities that are considering a common currency.
Flexible exchange rates are a powerful adjustment mechanism for shocks that affect the entities differently.
It is worth dispensing with this mechanism to gain the advantage of lower transaction costs and external discipline only if there are adequate alternative adjustment mechanisms.
The United States is an example of a situation that is favorable to a common currency.
Though composed of fifty states, its residents overwhelmingly speak the same language,
listen to the same television programs,
see the same movies,
can and do move freely from one part of the country to another;
goods and capital move freely from state to state;
wages and prices are moderately flexible;
and the national government raises in taxes and spends roughly twice as much as state and local governments.
Fiscal policies differ from state to state, but the differences are minor compared to the common national policy.
...By contrast, Europe's common market exemplifies a situation that is unfavourable to a common currency.
It is composed of separate nations, whose residents speak different languages, have different customs, and have far greater loyalty and attachment to their own country than to the common market or to the idea of "Europe".
Despite being a free trade area, goods move less freely than in the United States, and so does capital.
...The drive for the Euro has been motivated by politics not economics.
The aim has been to link Germany and France so closely as to make a future European war impossible, and to set the stage for a federal United States of Europe.
I believe that adoption of the Euro would have the opposite effect.
It would exacerbate political tensions by converting divergent shocks that could have been readily accommodated by exchange rate changes into divisive political issues.
Political unity can pave the way for monetary unity.
Monetary unity imposed under unfavorable conditions will prove a barrier to the achievement of political unity.

Feel-good-story-of-the-day!---Alleged Home Invaders Pick Wrong House: Resident with AK47 Kills One, Wounds One
Alleged Home Invaders Pick Wrong House: Resident with AK47 Kills One, Wounds One - Breitbart: "On June 30, two suspects allegedly invaded a home in northeast Vegas.
One suspect was severely wounded and the second was killed by a resident who kept an AK47 in the house.
The incident occurred around 9 a.m.
According to CBS 8, the alleged invasion began with female suspect Tiffany Carter (aka Tarnesha Harris) knocking on the door, then overpowering the 12-year-old who answered it.
Police said the 12-year-old tried to push the door shut after realizing what was going on, “but the woman grabbed him and put him in a headlock.”
Once the 12-year-old was subdued, an armed male suspect allegedly ran into the house and burst through the bedroom door of 23-year-old Jesus Javier Sanchez. Shots rang out as Jesus fired a handgun while moving to retrieve his AK47, then grabbed the AK47, and began firing it.
The police report indicates that “the male suspect [then] fled the room down the hall, but he still had the gun in his hands, so Sanchez fired another shot at the suspect striking him once again.”
While the male suspect was trying to get out of the house, the female suspect allegedly moved on to another room and grabbed the purse of Sanchez’s mother.
Sanchez opened fire, striking the female suspect, leaving her unable to do more than “crawl on the ground towards a gold-colored [Oldsmobile]” that waited outside..."

Teachers granted power to ‘confiscate and destroy’ unhealthy school lunches
Teachers granted power to ‘confiscate and destroy’ unhealthy school lunches - EAGnews.org
LONDON – The British government is urging school leaders to use their “common law powers” to search student lunches and potentially confiscate any items they deem “unhealthy or inappropriate.”
LONDON – The British government is urging school leaders to use their “common law powers” to search student lunches and potentially confiscate any items they deem “unhealthy or inappropriate.”
Education minister Lord Nash tells Express,
“Schools have common law powers to search pupils, with their consent, for items.
“Schools have common law powers to search pupils, with their consent, for items.
“There is nothing to prevent schools from having a policy of inspecting lunch boxes for food items that are prohibited under their school food policies.
“A member of staff may confiscate, keep or destroy such items found as a result of the search if it is reasonable to do so in the circumstances.”
...There have been glimpses of such policies in the U.S.
A teacher at an Aurora, Colorado school blocked a preschool girl from eating Oreo cookies in her home-packed lunch.
They were accompanied by a ham and cheese sandwich and string cheese.
When the girl returned home from school, the cookies were still in her lunchbox, along with a note:
“Dear Parents, it is very important that all students have a nutritious lunch.
This is a public school setting and all children are required to have a fruit, a vegetable and a heavy snack from home, along with a milk.
If they have potatoes, the child will also need bread to go along with it.
Lunchables, chips, fruit snacks, and peanut butter are not considered to be a healthy snack.
This is a very important part of our program and we need everyone’s participation.”

Pearson’s daughter says her teacher didn’t allow her to eat the cookies during lunch, because “they don’t have enough nutritional value,” according to 9 News.
“What the school thinks is healthy for her is not what I think is healthy for her,” the mother says. “That’s between me and her and our doctor – not the school.”

Staffer Told Ted Cruz He Thought a Reporter Was Nice. The GOP Candidate Responded With Harsh Advice.
Staffer Told Ted Cruz He Thought a Reporter Was Nice. The GOP Candidate Responded With Harsh Advice. | Video | TheBlaze.com:
After a young staffer told Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz how “nice” a member of the media is, Cruz said he actually stopped the young man with a harsh reminder about the intentions of most reporters.
“I actually stopped him and I said, ‘You know what? No, she’s not [nice].
She wants to destroy you.
Nothing would make her happier than to take your life and filet you on the front pages.
And don’t think for a minute that because she smiles and is friendly to you, that it’s anything else,’” Cruz said, sharing the story on The Glenn Beck Program.
“Isn’t that pretty cynical?” Beck asked with a laugh.
“I mean, I agree with you 100 percent, but it’s a little cynical!”
Cruz responded that the mainstream media is full partisans who have “picked a team,” and “when the sheep are walking among coyotes, it pays to be cynical.”
“You see Republicans when they’re interviewed by left-wing reporters, and they get afraid,” Cruz said.
“They want them to like them.
They are not going to like us!
They hate us.”...

Well first, I’d guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs or are secretly gay or are stealing taxpayer money; the NSA knows everything.
Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew Hastert was withdrawing large sums of his own money, from his own bank account.

University of Minnesota to adopt 'affirmative consent' rule for sex partners
University of Minnesota to adopt 'affirmative consent' rule for sex partners | Star Tribune:
"Debate flares over effect of “yes means yes” standards on students.
The University of Minnesota is joining a national movement requiring students to obtain “affirmative consent” from their sex partners or risk being disciplined for sexual assault.
The policy change, sometimes known as the “yes means yes” rule, has been sweeping college campuses across the country since California passed the first such law last year.
The U’s new rule, which is poised to take effect this month after a 30-day comment period, says that sex is OK only if both parties express consent through “clear and unambiguous words or actions.”
Absent that, it would fit the U’s definition of sexual assault.
So far, the plan has prompted little dissent at the U.
But nationally, critics have derided such policies as absurd and dangerous, particularly when it comes to protecting the rights of the accused.
“Once that accusation has been made, it’s somehow up to the accused person to prove they did have consent,” said Robert Shibley, executive director of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), a civil liberties group in Philadelphia.
“What that means is that they’re guilty until proven innocent.”"

Liberals, fake but true-----Top American Indian Scholar Outed As Fake Indian
Top American Indian Scholar Outed As Fake Indian | The Daily Caller: "
Just a few weeks after Rachel Dolezal transfixed the nation with her bogus claims to black heritage, yet another professor stands accused of falsely claiming a different racial identity to advance her career.
Andrea Smith, a professor of media and cultural studies at the University of California at Riverside, has started to draw attention in the wake of the Dolezal incident from those who say she has for years falsely claimed to have Cherokee blood.
The case is arguably much more significant, though, because while Dolezal was a relatively undistinguished academic at Eastern Washington University, Smith is recognized as a significant scholar in her field.
She routinely appears as a featured scholar at major events and has written books that were well-received by her colleagues (though others may question the broader worth of works like Conquest: Sexual Violence And American Indian Genocide).
Her career has largely been defined by her supposed American Indian identity.
Besides her academic work, she also helped create the organization INCITE!, which describes itself as a collection of “radical feminists of color.”
She’s also been active in the Indian group Women of All Red Nations (WARN).
But according to many, Smith’s Cherokee identity is a complete sham.
Much of the attack on Smith is coming from an anonymous, but well-sourced, Tumblr blog, Andrea Smith Is Not A Cherokee. She has also been called out in The Daily Beast..."

"It’s also interesting to see that political correctness not only exonerates Islamic-inspired crimes, but has a symbiotic relationship with the supremacist elements of Sharia.
For example, some know that, while Islamic law bans any mockery of its founder, Muhammad, so too does Western censorship in the name of political correctness accommodate this Sharia statute (meanwhile, Islamic teachings—based on the precedent of Muhammad—holds it the right of a Muslim to curse, mock, and desecrate other religions).

NLRB Upholds Racist Speech as Protected Activity Under Labor Relations Act
NLRB Upholds Racist Speech as Protected Activity Under Labor Relations Act | The National Law Review:
"In a ruling which was a bit of a surprise to some in the employer community, a Judge of the National Labor Relations Board recently concluded that racist speech made during picketing of an employer qualified as protected activity under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (the “Act”).
In Cooper Tire & Rubber Company v. United Steel, union workers were locked out by Cooper Tire after the union members failed to ratify a new collective bargaining agreement.
Thereafter, those members began to picket Cooper Tire in protest of the lockout.
During the lockout, Cooper Tire brought in replacement workers to the plant – many of whom were African-American.
One day, after a van full of replacement workers passed the picket line in front of the plant, one of the union members, Anthony Runion, yelled towards the van, “Hey, did you bring enough KFC for everyone?”
After Mr. Runion’s statement, an unidentified individual yelled “Go back to Africa, you bunch of f***ing losers.”
Shortly following that statement, Mr. Runion stated “Hey, anybody smell that? I smell fried chicken and watermelon,” which resulted in laughter by the picketers.
All of these remarks were recorded on video.
After the union and Cooper Tire agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, Mr. Runion was terminated for violating Cooper Tire’s harassment policy.
In response to Mr. Runion’s termination, the union filed a grievance alleging that Cooper Tire violated their CBA.
...The Judge determined in this case that, although the statements made by Mr. Runion were “racist, offensive, and reprehensible,” they did not amount to a threat since they were not violent in nature nor did they contain explicit or implicit threats to workers or their property...

"With the gay marriage ruling, Hillary Clinton wasted no time in wrapping herself in rainbow colored everything, while of course attacking the GOP for disagreeing with the decision. Also, still no word on whether she’s a lesbian. We’re digging so you don’t have to.
Hey, remember when Hillary Clinton opposed gay marriage? You know, her whole life all the way up until she decided to run for president?"

Police boss McCarthy on child's death: 'This has got to stop' - Chicago Tribune:
"Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told reporters Sunday that a 7-year-old boy fatally shot on the West Side during the July Fourth holiday was "the unintended victim of a bullet meant for his father."
Antonio Brown, who police say is a ranking member of the Four Corner Hustlers street gang, has been arrested 45 times on charges ranging from gun possession to burglary, and is not cooperating with detectives in their investigation into the slaying of his son, Amari Brown, police said.
McCarthy said that the elder Brown's last arrest was in April for gun possession after leading police on a vehicle pursuit.
Brown was later released on bail in that case, Cook County court records show.
Amari Brown was among nine people fatally shot throughout the city since Thursday afternoon. Forty-six others were wounded by gunfire."

“You know what? It takes a certain kind of racist to decide that black people can’t have their own opinion,” she said.
“I’m allowed to have conservative opinions,” she continued. “I’m allowed to believe that gay marriage is wrong. I’m allowed to believe that abortion is not OK.”
She added that the “problem with the left” is that “they think that they own African Americans. They think that they own our thoughts and that is not true.”
“These liberals need to check their privilege...”

HHS Offers Obamacare Talking Points for Your July 4th BBQ
HHS Offers Obamacare Talking Points for Your July 4th BBQ - Breitbart
“Tips for Talking to Your Family about the Affordable Care Act this Fourth of July.”
“Tips for Talking to Your Family about the Affordable Care Act this Fourth of July.”
This Fourth of July, families across the nation will gather around hot dogs (or their favorite vegetarian alternative) and potato salad to spend some quality time together, watch fireworks and reflect on the holiday’s meaning.
So far, so good. But if you guessed that there’s a ‘but’ coming, you’re correct.
The Cadillac tax. Yes, there was lots of misinformation out there. As for the ads criticizing Obamacare, that figure is accurate but omits the fact that $700 billion was spent by state and federal governments to promote the law.But as much as we love our families – and we do, seriously –we don’t always agree when it comes to current events, like last week’s Supreme Court decision upholding tax credits that help make insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) more affordable for millions of people.
Not surprisingly, many Americans still don’t know how changes the law made to insurance and the health care system can help improve their lives. You should be prepared when Aunt Janine says something like, “Obamacare hasn’t helped anyone!” So here are a few points to remember during this long holiday weekend:
...
Situation: Uncle Ted claims Obamacare is a train wreck and has cost jobs.You say: Uncle Ted, you’ve gotten ahold of some old talking points. With greater access to affordable, quality health insurance, the Affordable Care Act is helping individuals and strengthening our economy!
Think about the phrase “you say” for a moment. The Obama administration is not only telling you to upbraid your uncle Ted, they assume you’re too dumb to do it on your own. They need to give you the words to say. This is a script for insecure zealots who need their lines spoon-fed to them...

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Announces City Jobs, Internships Will Go to Illegal Aliens - Breitbart
In a recent proclamation, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that he intends to give city jobs and internships to so-called “DREAMers,” youngsters in the country illegally.
In the announcement, Emanuel proudly stated that “for the first time” Chicago is “opening up nearly 23,000 City-funded internship, volunteer, and job opportunities for undocumented students, or ‘DREAMers.'”
“DREAMers and DACA recipients are assets that we need to nurture and develop like precious natural resources for the benefit of the entire community,” Congressman Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-IL) says in the announcement.
“They are an integral part of Chicago’s workforce of tomorrow. Once again, the City of Chicago and Mayor Rahm Emanuel are leading the way on the inclusion of our immigrant communities.”

Hold on folks, these guys are going for ALL the money!-----To rename or not? Institutions reconsider honors for racists
My Way News - To rename or not? Institutions reconsider honors for racists:
"HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The massacre at a predominantly black South Carolina church has institutions from Alaska to Connecticut evaluating whether they should continue enshrining the names of historical figures linked to slavery and the Confederacy.
...A petition is calling for Yale University in Connecticut to change the name of its residential Calhoun College, which honors 1804 alumnus John C. Calhoun, a prominent advocate of the slave plantation system who became a vice president and U.S. senator from South Carolina.
The petition says the name, in place since the 1930s, represents "an indifference to centuries of pain and suffering among the black population."
...Other campaigns around the country include efforts to change the names of Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis and New York City's General Lee Avenue in Brooklyn, named after Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
In Helena, Montana, officials will meet Wednesday to discuss whether anything should be done with a downtown memorial to fallen Confederate soldiers.
The foundation was built in 1916 by the Daughters of the Confederacy.
...Temple University professor Christopher Rabb, a black 1992 Yale graduate who lived in Calhoun College when it still had a stained glass window depicting Calhoun standing over an enslaved black man, said he would rather see a deeper reckoning with issues of race and the role of white supremacists in building American institutions, such as Yale and other schools.
"Removing a name, removing a symbol is easy and we can say, 'problem solved,'" Rabb said.
"But we're dealing with a symbol and we're not dealing with the root cause.
And the root cause is systemic racism...."

SHOCK: Arizona Paper Decries Border Fence as Too High for Mexicans to Safely Jump
SHOCK: Arizona Paper Decries Border Fence as Too High for Mexicans to Safely Jump
A mainstream Arizona newspaper is decrying the small section of the Arizona-Mexico border that has a 14-foot-high primary fence because it is too high for illegal immigrants to safely cross.
The article, “Border Fence Jumpers Breaking Bones,” includes the claim that sections of the border with a 14-foot-high fence are “as tall as a two or three-story house” and tells the stories of several women who broke bones and were treated extensively to healthcare and surgeries at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.
The writer never mentions any lives directly lost as a result of there not being a border fence in most sections, such as when Mexican nationals crossed into the U.S. and murdered father and husband Robert Rosas, a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
The article in question was written by Perla Trevizo for the Arizona Daily Star.

Blog: The fake and real reasons Obamacare premiums are increasing 40% or more
Blog: The fake and real reasons Obamacare premiums are increasing 40% or more
"Health insurance companies are requesting rate increases of 40% or more.
I'm old enough to remember when businesses didn't have to request the government's permission to increase prices.
They just raised prices as they wished, without getting the approval of a political commissar or a five-year planning board!
However, in those days, we had more of a free market, so if a company raised prices too high, its sales went down as customers went to lower-priced competitors.
There actually was a natural check on higher prices that didn't involve government intervention.
The free market setting prices – that sounds so weird and old-fashioned now, doesn't it?
But anyway, insurers are requesting increases of up to 40% or more..."
