BREAKING: “Tens of thousands” of fraudulent Clinton votes found in Ohio warehouse | Christian Times Newspaper

BREAKING: “Tens of thousands” of fraudulent Clinton votes found in Ohio warehouse | Christian Times Newspaper:
Election officials in Franklin County, Ohio are reportedly stumped over what one maintenance worker found in a dilapidated downtown Columbus warehouse earlier this week.
According to sources, Randall Prince, a Columbus-area electrical worker, was doing a routine check of his companies wiring and electrical systems when he stumbled across approximately one dozen black, sealed ballot boxes filled with thousands of Franklin County votes for Hillary Clinton and other Democrat candidates.
“No one really goes in this building. It’s mainly used for short-term storage by a commercial plumber,” Prince said.
So when Prince, who is a Trump supporter, saw several black boxes in an otherwise empty room, he went to investigate.
What he found could allegedly be evidence of a massive operation designed to deliver Clinton the crucial swing state.
It is important to note that the ... replica coincides with a ballot that a Franklin County voter would cast at the polling place on Election Day, meaning the Clinton campaign’s likely goal was to slip the fake ballot boxes in with the real ballot boxes when they went to official election judges on November 8th..."

True racism!-----Hillary and the Democrats Continue Their War on Blacks

Hillary and the Democrats Continue Their War on Blacks | PJ Media:
"Forget all the back and forth on the first debate, the pundits, the people, the polls, the bizarre claims and counter-claims of an aging Venezuelan porn star.
All that can and will change, if it hasn't already.
Or will disappear among a new set of talking points, real or imagined, after the second debate.
Only one assertion of enduring importance was made on Monday—one that slipped quickly by, but will continue to fester under the surface for those eighty or so million watching and have a profound and deeply unfortunate effect on our culture.
Hillary Clinton declared that all Americans are racist, at least implicitly.

The exchange went as follows:
Lester Holt: Do you believe police are implicitly biased against black people.
Hillary Clinton: Lester, I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone not just police.
So we're all racists now in Hillary Land.
...Here's the calculation part that occurred as I see it:
In response to Holt's question,  Hilary didn't know what to say about the police that wouldn't offend someone, so she spread the accusation to everyone. 
We're all guilty (meaning, one assumes, all white people, although that was naturally left unsaid).
...Underlying all this is a ruthless attempt to encourage that most pernicious, self-defeating and self-fulfilling prophecy that African-Americans will always be victims.
And if they are victims, they always vote Democrat, the party of victimhood.
(If they  don't vote Democrat, they support professional victimhood organizations like Black Lives Matter until the proper deals are made and they do vote Democrat again, a roundelay of  unhappily ever after.)
The result of all this?
Bodies in the street.
A lot of them.
Almost all black..."

Hillary Clinton Email Scandal: FBI Investigation Was Never Unbiased | National Review

Hillary Clinton Email Scandal: FBI Investigation Was Never Unbiased | National Review:

"FBI director James Comey, who testified in front of two congressional committees this week, still maintains that he was unable to recommend that the DOJ charge Clinton with mishandling classified documents because of insufficient evidence proving “intent” — although the actions themselves are irrefutably illegal.

Well, how exactly did he anticipate gathering this proof, when the DOJ had proactively shielded the five people tasked with setting up the private system and then destroying it? Was he hoping to extract a confession directly from Clinton?"

So Brave: This University of Michigan Kid Selected ‘His Majesty’ as Personal Pronoun

So Brave: This University of Michigan Kid Selected ‘His Majesty’ as Personal Pronoun - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"A student has taken advantage of the opportunity afforded by University of Michigan's new pronoun policy, which allows students to list their chosen pronouns on the official bios that are sent out to their teachers.
The student, Grant Stroble, has listed his pronoun as "His Majesty."
He is stunning and brave. 
Applaud his courage. 
Weep openly, if you must.
Are you finished? 
Still reading? 
It's quite a moving story, I know.
Stroble's heroism will no doubt be celebrated by the university, which recently gave students the option of selecting their own pronouns in order to foster "an environment of inclusiveness." According to the university:
Students can designate pronouns in Wolverine Access through the new Gender Identity tab within the Campus Personal Information section. This page can be used to enter, update or delete pronoun information.
Designated pronouns will automatically populate on all class rosters accessed through Wolverine Access. Rosters pulled from other systems will not have designated pronouns listed. If a student does not designate a pronoun, none will be listed.
In other words, when professors receive the list of students enrolled in their classes, there will be a designated pronoun next to their names. Strobles's is "His Majesty."
Stroble—a conservative student and member of Young Americans for Freedom's Board of Governors—told The College Fix that he has no problem with students asking to be identified in the manner that makes them most comfortable.
But he found the university's new policy to be absurd:
In an interview with The College Fix, Strobl said that "I have no problem with students asking to be identified a certain way, almost like someone named Richard who would like to be called Dick. It is respectful to make a reasonable effort to refer to students in the way that they prefer."
However, he added that he does have a problem when the university institutionalizes the use of pronouns that are completely arbitrary and may possibly sanction people for referring to someone different than their preference.
Strobl continued, "So, I henceforth shall be referred to as: His Majesty, Grant Strobl. I encourage all U-M students to go onto Wolverine Access, and insert the identity of their dreams."
If this isn't the feel-good story of the year, I don't know what is."

Let us eat cake?-----This $5,900 chair may be the tech world's new key to productivity

This $5,900 chair may be the tech world's new key to productivity - LA Times:
"Che Voigt believes his company has solved problems that have plagued the working world since the advent of typing.
It’s a solution to hunched backs, stiff necks and tight shoulders.
It’s a workstation that, with a push of a button, transitions from a standing desk to a seated table to a fully reclined platform like a dentist’s chair. 
Its seat expands and retracts, supporting the whole body from head to heels.
Its desk moves up, down and rotates.
There’s a screen and mouse and keyboard that follows the user’s eyes and hands.
It’s the way of the future, he says; the most comfortable you can possible be working at a computer.
And it starts at $5,900..."

The Article Five Convention: Proven to Work | TheBlaze.com

The Article Five Convention: Proven to Work | TheBlaze.com:

"A chill went down my spine. The Convention secretary was calling the roll of states gathered for a historical test-run of an Article Five convention for proposing constitutional amendments, and every state in the Union had shown up to participate.

A total of 137 commissioners (delegates), including 115 sitting state legislators and 22 non-legislator citizens took part in testing this long-neglected constitutional process and the set of draft rules developed by experts Rob Natelson and Michael Farris to guide it.

And how did it work? Beautifully."

Government at war with the people!-----Michigan District Bans Homeschooled Girl From Homecoming Dance

Michigan District Bans Homeschooled Girl From Homecoming Dance [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"Wayne-Westland Community Schools has a policy that states that homeschooled students who want to attend a dance such as Homecoming would have to come from an “accredited” homeschool.
That would effectively ban homeschoolers from attending dances held by the district since homeschoolers have no reason to be accredited and the state doesn’t require it.
Karen Braun, a nationally recognized homeschooling activist in Michigan, said the school district is putting an unfair and unnecessary burden upon homeschoolers.
Braun said parents contacted her and said their daughter, a homeschooling student, was invited to the upcoming Homecoming dance within the Wayne-Westland district.
The student, though, was told she could not attend because she was not from an accredited homeschool..."

Rise in CO2 has 'greened Planet Earth'

Rise in CO2 has 'greened Planet Earth' - BBC News
"Carbon dioxide emissions from industrial society have driven a huge growth in trees and other plants.
A new study says that if the extra green leaves prompted by rising CO2 levels were laid in a carpet, it would cover twice the continental USA.
Climate sceptics argue the findings show that the extra CO2 is actually benefiting the planet.
But the researchers say the fertilisation effect diminishes over time.
They warn the positives of CO2 are likely to be outweighed by the negatives.
The lead author, Prof Ranga Myneni from Boston University, told BBC News the extra tree growth would not compensate for global warming, rising sea levels, melting glaciers, ocean acidification, the loss of Arctic sea ice, and the prediction of more severe tropical storms.
The new study is published in the journal Nature Climate Change by a team of 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries.
It is called Greening of the Earth and its Drivers, and it is based on data from the Modis and AVHRR instruments which have been carried on American satellites over the past 33 years.

The sensors show significant greening of something between 25% and 50% of the Earth's vegetated land, which in turn is slowing the pace of climate change as the plants are drawing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Just 4% of vegetated land has suffered from plant loss..."

The extra growth is the equivalent of more than four billion giant sequoias – the biggest trees on Earth

"The Cleaner Man": What Was This Guy Removing from Hillary's Podium After the Debate

"The Cleaner Man": What Was This Guy Removing from Hillary's Podium After the Debate | The Daily Sheeple:
"Here’s a video that raises more questions than it answers but at least people are asking them.

We’ve already seen what appears to be Hillary in cahoots with debate moderator Lester Holt.

Now, it would appear there was some kind of lit screen in Hillary’s podium. A teleprompter? We can only speculate but the video appears to show it powering down at the end of the debate. Don’t think so?

Well a couple of guys were really interested in whatever it was Hillary had in that podium and making sure it was removed as quickly as possible.

Watch the wrap up above, the guy with grey hair flitting about nervously with a conspicuous look on his face as he repeatedly approaches Hillary’s podium and removes multiple items from it including all her notes from during the debate and some black object from inside the podium among other things. At one point near the end, it appears he’s even making a switch of some kind.

Another man then goes on stage and removes something else from her podium. Meanwhile, no one seems even remotely interested in Trump’s podium.

Remember, they built Hillary that special podium prior to this debate…

So… what was in there?

That guy grabbing stuff up off her podium sure looks nervous.

UN news outlet deletes tweet calling on American expats to ‘stop Trump’ | TheBlaze.com:

"The United Nations’ news agency quickly shuffled Thursday evening to remove a tweet the outlet published requesting “8 million Americans abroad” register to vote to “stop Trump.”

The tweet, published at 9:14 p.m. ET by the UN News Centre, shared a link from the left-leaning activist outlet Avaaz, urging American expatriates to share a voter registration tool on the site, which suggested, “U.S. Citizens abroad could defeat Trump … if they voted.”"

Chelsea Clinton Takes Private Jet to 'Clean Energy' Conference in Hippie Paradise

Chelsea Clinton Takes Private Jet to 'Clean Energy' Conference in Hippie Paradise | Heat Street
"Chelsea Clinton was campaigning for her elderly mother in North Carolina on Wednesday — and showing off her Clinton-esque taste for expensive, carbon-emitting travel options.

After attending campaign events in Greenville, the former first daughter took a private jet to Asheville, just a five-hour drive away, to attend a roundtable event on “clean energy.” Asheville is a paradise for hippies who love the environment...

The Clinton campaign promised during the Democratic primary that their entire operation would be “carbon neutral” and had some friendly reporters write stories about how even campaign manager John Podesta took the bus.

The campaign doesn’t talk about that pledge much anymore, given the how much the Clintons love flying on private jets, presumably out of class envy. They may be rich AF, but it must annoy them to have to attend campaign fundraiser with so many hedge fund managers who are even richer AF than they are and own their own private jets.

For example, Bill Clinton has flown on billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein‘s private jet, affectionately nicknamed the “Lolita Express,” on numerous occasions.

Hillary, meanwhile, hates flying on commercial aircraft with commoners; she once described it as “burdensome,” but that might also be due to the fact that she is very old and mobility challenged..."

Socialist Venezuela New Food Police Unit Targeting People For Waiting In Supermarket Lines - Matt Vespa

Socialist Venezuela New Food Police Unit Targeting People For Waiting In Supermarket Lines - Matt Vespa:
"Venezuelans continue to fight for survival, as the nation’s socialist experiment has all but collapsed.
Looting is commonplace.
Hunger is rampant, with Venezuelans of every economic class eating out of garbage cans for sustenance.
And a medical system that is so starved of supplies, like soap and gloves, that newborns are reportedly being put in cardboard boxes in maternity wards. 
That’s coupled with the spikes in infant deaths that began when the country started to falter.
The energy shortages haven’t helped either.
The rapid inflation has rendered the nation’s currency worthless, there’s no real domestic food production, and all of this has led to empty shelves at supermarkets.
The long lines have been a source of ire for the socialist government led by President Nicolas Maduro, the late Hugo Chavez’s successor, who says that his nation’s economic woes are brought on by outside sources.
He’s banned lines outside of bakeries and supermarkets.
Those who are willing to sleep outside of supermarkets to beat the rush are arrested and detained.
...Oh, and of course, due process is a not even considered in these proceedings.
The Post added that many that are arrested are simply trying to keep their families alive, with economists estimating that almost half of the Venezuelan workforce is dependent on black market goods to make it through the day.
When you have to mandate that people leave their jobs to work in the fields, you know your economic experiment has failed. 
When the nation’s military is part of a new policing unit to monitor food distribution, you know 21st Century Socialism is a total disaster.

"NUKE FACE-OFF Pakistan threatens to DESTROY India with nuclear bomb as atomic enemies edge to the brink of war
Tensions have risen dramatically between the nuclear-armed neighbours
PAKISTAN’S Defence Minister has threatened to “destroy” India – after India said on Thursday it had carried out “surgical strikes” on suspected militants preparing to infiltrate from Pakistan-ruled Kashmir.
The strikes, which were a response to shots fired across the de facto border through the disputed Himalayan territory, could lead to a military escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbours – risking a ceasefire agreed in 2003."

Deutsche Bank Collapse: The Most Important Bank In Europe Is Facing A Major ‘Liquidity Event’

Deutsche Bank Collapse: The Most Important Bank In Europe Is Facing A Major ‘Liquidity Event’:
"The largest and most important bank in the largest and most important economy in Europe is imploding right in front of our eyes. 
Deutsche Bank is the 11th biggest bank on the entire planet, and due to the enormous exposure to derivatives that it has, it has been called “the world’s most dangerous bank“. 
Over the past year, I have repeatedly warned that Deutsche Bank is heading for disaster and is a likely candidate to be “the next Lehman Brothers”. 
...On September 16th, the Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Department of Justice wanted 14 billion dollars from Deutsche Bank to settle a case related to the mis-handling of mortgage-backed securities during the last financial crisis. 
As a result of that announcement, confidence in the bank has been greatly shaken, the stock price has fallen to record lows, and analysts are warning that Deutsche Bank may be facing a “liquidity event” unlike anything that we have seen since the collapse of Lehman Brothers back in 2008.
...But the size of the fine is not really the issue now. 
Shares of Deutsche Bank have fallen by more than half so far in 2016, and this latest episode seems to have been the final straw for the deeply troubled financial institution. 
Old sources of liquidity are being cut off, and nobody wants to be the idiot that offers Deutsche Bank a new source of liquidity at this point..."

Presidential Debates Admits Trump's Mic Was Messed Up | The Daily Caller:

Completing this poll entitles you to Daily Caller news updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Following the debate, Trump told the press that they “gave me a defective mic. Did you notice that? My mic was defective within the room,” CNN reports. Trump posed the question: “Was that on purpose?”
While it may be too early to call it anything other than a technical malfunction, the Commission on Presidential Debates said “there were issues regarding Donald Trump’s audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall.”
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton responded to Trump’s claim Monday evening saying “anybody who complains about the microphone is not having a good night.”"

""Who authorized granting Cheryl Mills immunity?" Rep. John Sensenbrenner asked.
"It's a decision made by the Department of Justice, I don't know at what level inside," Comey responded. "In our investigations, any kind of immunity comes from the prosecutors, not the investigators."
Comey added he understood Mills' immunity as a request pertaining to the production of her laptop during the investigation.

"The FBI doesn't grant immunity to anybody, the Department of Justice is able to grant very different kinds of immunity," Comey said. "

This is NOT a joke!-----After campus clown alert, Auburn confirms students won't be punished for wearing a mask

After campus clown alert, Auburn confirms students won't be punished for wearing a mask - The College Fix:
"The Clown Panic of 2016 started in an apartment complex in South Carolina and fanned out across the country – just today schools in suburban Cincinnati were closed after a report of a clown attack.
Civil liberties like clowning are always tenuous in a panic, but Auburn University has confirmed that it won’t crack down on harlequinned students following its own clown scare.
As Reason reported last week, Auburn’s Department of Public Safety sent a campus alert saying it and the municipal police had “received a few reports of people dressed in clown costumes on campus,” as well as social media posts “that suggested the same”:
We have seen similar reports of clown sightings at other universities and towns across the State of Alabama and the Southeast. …
We also had a report of students walking around looking for people dressed as clowns. For your safety, we strongly encourage you to leave this job to Auburn Police. Please use good judgment and avoid wearing clown masks, as it could be perceived as a hazard or threat to others.
Police still haven’t tracked down any bozos, and campus authorities don’t know of “any additional clown sightings” since the bulletin went out, spokesperson Mike Clardy told The Fix in an email.
...“Students were encouraged to use good judgment, for their own safety and the safety of others, due to widespread threats and concerns involving clowns throughout the state,” Clardy said..."
