Quebec Will Start Looking Like Afghanistan!

Quebec Will Start Looking Like Afghanistan! | Gates of Vienna:
"The following video is from a debate in Quebec’s Legislative Assembly in Quebec City about proposed religious accommodations for the province. 
Muslims in Quebec have been agitating for their interests, and the new proposals would favor them while pretending to be religiously neutral.

Notice that the two women in this video have diametrically opposite opinions about the same declared facts. 
One of them thinks Quebec will end up just like Afghanistan, and is appalled by the prospect, while the other thinks it would be just fine. 
All hail Diversity!

00:00		We’ll allow chador and the hijab, of course — that also
00:04		does not cover the face — in the nurseries and
00:08		in public schools, where it is the most present. There will be possible accommodations
00:12		for the niqab and the burka. We will allow
00:16		the religious menus in the nurseries. Quebec will start
00:20		looking like Afghanistan! —Quebec is enriched by this diversity.
00:24		Madame Mailloux, I deeply believe it. —To hear the Minister
00:28		of Justice say that the veil is just an article of clothing, is something deeply shocking, A chart about clothes!
		The liberal government of Jean Charest had allowed the establishment of a network of 122 care centers in 2006, which obtained a grant of nearly 20 million for six years...
01:28		Religious organizations are exempt from income, property, municipal and school taxes.
01:32		No citizen in Quebec has right to such
01:36		privileges. With this law project in the child care services,
01:41		we’ll allow a nutritional diet based on religious grounds. This law project
01:45		allows the chador and the hijab. In this way children will continue to be exposed
01:49		to hijab in our schools and our nurseries. —I’m telling you, because I know them very well,
01:54		there are parents who chose for their children to have this contact
01:57		with diversity. An there is, for the parents, this need
02:05		to put their children in contact with diversity. From a very young age.
02:09		We are going to create, in a way, the ideal conditions for
02:13		this claiming of rights by the political-religious lobbies,
02:17		for those would-be theocrats who are the fringe, the most intolerant and the most
02:21		uncompromising of all religious groups, and which contribute at the same time
02:25		to increase pressure, especially on the Muslims. We know that there are,
02:29		here in Quebec, associations that claim to be inspired Muslim Association of Canada: Allah is our goal, the prophet our leader, the Quran our constitution, jihad our way, martyrdom our greatest hope
02:33		by the thought of the Muslim Brotherhood, while others are communists.
02:37		Those people are active in their communities and towards their representatives
02:41		Their common, ultimate goal is imposing the Shariah and they use
02:45		different strategies to reach their aims. Entryism
02:49		by different demands for accommodations is one of their strategies, and
02:54		the hijab they are imposing on women and girls is their Trojan Horse.
02:58		This law project is simply going to throw open the doors of our public institutions for them.

Iraqi F-16’s Bomb ISIS Hotel Pool Party

Iraqi F-16’s Bomb ISIS Hotel Pool Party – American Military News:
"Iraqi F-16 fighter jets bombed an ISIS “war room” meeting at a hotel pool in Mosul, Iraq late Tuesday night, killing 67 ISIS militants.
The attack occurred at roughly 11 pm Tuesday night as a part of the offensive on the ISIS stronghold of Mosul, Iraq, according to Kurdish media outlet Rudaw.
The ISIS fighters met at what used to be Ninawa International, a five-star hotel that was taken over by ISIS after they seized the city of Mosul back in 2014.
The hotel, which is located north of Mosul’s al-Andalus neighborhood, was later reopened by ISIS and renamed “Inheritor’s Hotel.”
The local ministry of propaganda previously posted pictures showing jihadis refurbishing the hotel, including one of workmen hammering away at intricate carvings on the front deemed idolatrous..."

Emails: Clinton Foundation sought State Department OK for work with Russians | Washington Examiner:

"Clinton Foundation officials sought the approval of Hillary Clinton's State Department in July 2011 as they considered involving three Russian government officials in a foundation project.

The email emerged in a batch of Clinton-related documents provided to conservative-leaning Citizens United through the Freedom of Information Act and made public Saturday."

Sidewalks to nowhere: Feds forced Detroit to waste $50 million in a decade

Sidewalks to nowhere: Feds forced Detroit to waste $50 million in a decade
"In a city where poverty is high, schools are broken and crime is rampant, the federal government has forced Detroit to spend more than $50 million in the past decade for sidewalk ramps that often lead to nowhere.
Many of the nearly 35,000 ramps, which are for people with disabilities, are on inaccessible sidewalks or streets with no homes.
City officials have fought the absurdities of the 2006 federal consent order, but to no avail.
The federal government said the ramps were required under the Americans with Disabilities Act, even if the sidewalks were useless.
“Our efforts to legally fight this requirement were not successful,” said Ron Brundidge, director of the Detroit Department of Public Works.
Over the past two months, Motor City Muckraker examined more than 3,000 sidewalk ramps and found:

• About 12% of the ramps were installed on sidewalks that are impassable because of overgrowth, collapsed homes or illegal dumping.
• Dozens of curb cuts were found on blocks with no occupied houses or buildings.
• Sidewalk ramps surround vacant schools and factories, including the long-abandoned Packard Plant.

Clinton amnesty tax: $15,000 per household, $1.2 trillion | Washington Examiner:

"Amnesty for illegal immigrants like a program proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton would require an immediate tax hike of $1.2 trillion, a $15,000 hit on every household in America, according to a new analysis of immigration reform.

The authoritative National Academy of Sciences said the cost to give some 11 million illegals citizenship rights would be staggering, though it suggested long-term benefits."

Rutgers student fired from campus newspaper after writing 'illegal alien' in column

Rutgers student fired from campus newspaper after writing 'illegal alien' in column - The College Fix:
‘My termination was a politically motivated move’
The Rutgers University student who hosted anti-feminist provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos for his first U.S. college event says the student newspaper fired him Monday because of his conservative views.
Aviv Khavich published his final column for The Daily Targum Sunday night, arguing that immigration enforcement is not “anti-immigrant.”
He spoke as an immigrant himself, born in Israel after his Ashkenazi Jewish parents fled Belarus in the wake of the Soviet Union’s collapse.
But the trigger for the firing may have been Khavich’s demand that his column include the phrase “illegal aliens” to describe those in the country illegally.
It was the final straw for the Daily’s editor, who said Khavich repeatedly fought over “stylistic” editing changes to his columns over the past several months.
‘Undocumented’ isn’t correct, either..."

Stephen Hawking warns us to stop reaching out to aliens before it's too late

Stephen Hawking warns us to stop reaching out to aliens before it's too late - ScienceAlert:
""I am more convinced than ever that we are not alone."
When the potential of intelligent alien civilisations comes up in conversation, it’s usually about the search.
How will we find them?
Where are they?
Are they there at all?
What actions should we take if – or when – we find them, or they find us?
Well, according to physicist Stephen Hawking, we should probably stop trying to contact them at all, because reaching out to advanced civilisations could put humanity and Earth in a pretty risky situation. 
And the bad news is, we've already been broadcasting our location to the Universe for years.
Hawking’s warning comes in a new online film called Stephen Hawking’s Favourite Places, which shows the famed scientist in a CGI spacecraft called the SS Hawking exploring his favourite places in the Universe.
"As I grow older I am more convinced than ever that we are not alone..."
...Despite Hawking’s extraordinary effort to find intelligent life in the Universe, he is one of the most outspoken critics of actually trying to communicate with them, an act that he says would potentially endanger humanity, because a distant alien civilisation might view us as inferior, weak, and perfect to conquer.
"If so, they will be vastly more powerful and may not see us as any more valuable than we see bacteria," he says in the film..."

Turning back the clock 1 hour takes a serious toll on your mental health

Turning back the clock 1 hour takes a serious toll on your mental health - The Washington Post:
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
Daylight saving time should be a permanent, year-round phenomenon. 
Rather than turning back our clocks this weekend to extend our pre-election suffering by yet another hour, we should simply leave the hour hand where it is and pledge to never fiddle with it again.
The social and public health benefits would be enormous.
The fall transition to standard time is linked to an increase in crime that costs the country billions of dollars annually.
Transitions into and out of daylight saving time are linked to disrupted sleep patterns, increased heart attack risk, and an uptick in fatal car accidents.
And last week, a team of researchers from the departments of psychiatry and political science at the universities of Aarhus, Copenhagen and Stanford added another formal complaint to the indictment against clock-turning:
The autumn shift to standard time appears to be closely linked to a jump in depression diagnoses around this time of year..."

Donald Trump's Argument For America

Refugees are getting Obamacare subsidies while YOUR premiums skyrocket

Refugees are getting Obamacare subsidies while YOUR premiums skyrocket:

"Here’s where it gets downright unfair: A lawfully present noncitizen who isn’t eligible for Medicaid can be eligible for Obamacare tax credits and subsidies, while “[s]imilarly situated U.S. citizens and lawfully present noncitizen who are eligible for Medicaid could technically participate in an [Obamacare] exchange, but they would be ineligible for the premium credits and cost-sharing subsidies.”

This means that there are struggling citizens who may not get help with the ever-more expensive health care costs, but certain non-U.S. citizens — in a comparable financial situation — are getting extra help from the federal government to purchase Obamacare."

The full article. Read it all!-----No, Bret Baier's multi-part scoop on the FBI's Clinton probes hasn't been "debunked"

No, Bret Baier's multi-part scoop on the FBI's Clinton probes hasn't been "debunked" - Hot Air Hot Air
"Fox News anchor Bret Baier opened his nightly news hour on Wednesday by reporting several startling revelations, joining his colleague Brit Hume later in the evening to walk through the new information provided to him by two FBI sources with “intimate knowledge” of the relevant state of affairs. Thursday morning, I posted this useful summary of Baier’s report, furnished by Real Clear Politics. 
Click through for the the five key points, each of which we will re-evaluate below. 
Clinton defenders and Fox critics quickly declared this information “debunked” and “made up,” largely drawing on reporting from NBC’s Pete Williams, whose own sources quasi-deny the existence of an ongoing FBI probe into the Clinton Foundation:

Appearing on MSNBC’s MTP Daily [on Thursday], NBC News’ justice correspondent Pete Williams refuted much of the reporting from Wall Street Journal and Fox News regarding a likely indictment regarding an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Fox’s Bret Baier later backed off slightly, saying the indictment comment was “inartfully answered.” Speaking to host Chuck Todd, Williams claimed that via his own law enforcement sources, there doesn’t actually appear to be much of an investigation, let alone one that will result in indictments…“There really isn’t one,” Williams answered Todd regarding the status of the investigation. “Few want to call it an investigation. That’s a term of art in the FBI. There was an initial inquiry that was opened a couple months ago based largely on media reports and a book called Clinton Cash.”

I say “quasi-deny” because Williams couches his language with a number of softening caveats. 
There isn’t “really” an active probe, he says, adding that “few” would characterize the inquiry as an investigation. 
What’s really going on here?  
Based on publicly-available reporting, the truth seems clear — if slightly complex.  
There is quite obviously a deep and smoldering rift between a group of FBI agents and some of their bosses, both at the bureau and DOJ.  
That’s why lefty media outlets are publishing whispers about the FBI being in the tank for Trump and trying to take down Hillary, and why righty outlets like Townhall are pointing out the overwhelmingly left-leaning political donations among DOJ officials (as well as potential appearances of impropriety and conflicts of interest).  
These competing narratives are clashing.  
Hard.  
These sharp disagreements bubbled over into that buzzy Wall Street Journal piece late last week, with CNN later confirming that some FBI sources are angry with the higher-ups’ management of these cases.

On one side, you have agents working the Clinton cases who furiously allege that higher-ups are deliberately hamstringing and undermining their work, due to political considerations.  
On the other, you have officials who think those agents are overzealous, and that their case — particularly regarding the Clinton Foundation inquiry/investigation — is thin.  
That critique prompted another counter-leak, pointing to audio recordings that some say underscore the need for a more rigorous investigation.  
The response they reportedly received: 
Keep digging for something more solid, and then maybe we’ll talk.  
As many Republicans quote Baier’s original report about dual investigations and looming indictments, and many Democrats claim the whole story is bunk, let’s revisit the aforementioned five points:

(1) The Clinton Foundation probe is real, expansive, and has been active for more than a year.  Line agents seem to fully believe this, griping that their bosses won’t approve essential tools for them to kick the probe into high gear.  Several news outlets have referred to the Clinton Foundation inquiry in the present tense, while the New York Times suggests that it has been effectively tabled until after the election.  Whether there is an “active investigation” or an “inquiry” in a holding pattern may be a matter of perspective and semantics.  It does appear that Mrs. Clinton was incorrect when she flatly denied earlier this year that the FBI was probing her family’s controversial charitable organization.

(2) Despite reports of an unusual side deal, top Hillary aides’ personal computers that factored into the FBI’s email investigation were not destroyed, and in fact are still being exploited.  I have seen no reporting that contradicts this new information.  Baier’s sources say those devices are still intact at the bureau’s DC field office.

(3) Agents working on the reinitiated email probe have discovered new, non-duplicate emails from Clinton’s server on Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner’s personal computer.  CBS News confirms this important detail, which may highlight why FBI Director James Comey decided to re-engage the dormant investigation (though not before doing due diligence to make sure there was some substance to the new alleged evidence, according to the Washington Post):

The FBI has found emails related to Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state on the laptop belonging to the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner, according to a U.S. official. These emails, CBS News’ Andres Triay reports, are not duplicates of emails found on Secretary Clinton’s private server. At this point, however, it remains to be seen whether these emails are significant to the FBI’s investigation into Clinton. It is also not known how many relevant emails there are.

(4) Barring DOJ “obstruction,” Clinton Foundation-related indictments are “likely,” Baier’s FBI sources say. This appears to be the most problematic element of the report.  Baier himself clarified his wording, acknowledging that the FBI doesn’t have the power to make decisions on indictments.  Williams’ sources emphatically deny that prosecutions are forthcoming.  It seems to me that this may have been a case of wish-casting by frustrated FBI agents, projecting or hyping what they believe should happen in the final resolution of this affair.  See the clip below for more clarity.

(5) FBI analysts believe with near certainty that at least five foreign intelligence agencies penetrated Mrs. Clinton’s unsecure server, which contained thousands of classified emails — some extremely sensitive. This conclusion merely echoes what a number of top Obama administration and US intelligence officials have been publicly stating with a high degree of certainty for months.  If the FBI has this nailed down, it blows up yet another Clinton talking point about her national security-endangering server.  Baier says that although investigators are working under the operating belief that her server was hacked, no “digital fingerprints” have verified that assumption beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Bottom line: A long-simmering grudge match within the halls of the FBI and the Justice Department is spilling into public view via a string of escalating leaks on both sides.  Journalists are reporting what their well-connected sources tell them, which is why Williams and Baier can both be correct here.  It was the Special Report host’s phrasing on the indictments point that has resulted in politically-interested parties pretending that his entire scoop has been “disproven.”  It has not.  A number of its central elements have either been left undisputed, or confirmed by rival news sources.  Taking a step back, it appears as though the FBI’s reopened email probe is turning up new and relevant evidence, that some form of FBI inquiry into the Clinton Foundation is open (to one extent or another), and that sharp disagreements exist within the federal law enforcement community about how all of this ought to be resolved.  I’ll leave you with Baier’s updated report from this morning — in which he stands by the bulk of his reporting and sourcing, but apologizes for the “mistake” of describing the ‘indictment’ piece the way he did:

UPDATE – If you’re keeping score of the Left’s narratives, a senior Justice Department official handing his buddy John Podesta “heads-up” tip-offs about the email imbroglio over private email isn’t a big deal. But FBI sources possibly, allegedly leaking information to the Trump campaign is an ‘alarming’ example of collusion.

Battenfeld: Comey’s not the problem, the media is the problem

Battenfeld: Comey’s not the problem, the media is the problem | Boston Herald
"We’ve got an election problem and it’s not just Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
A powerful public official errs on the side of transparency and disclosure and how does the media react?
These are our supposed public watchdogs.
The ones whose job is to expose what taxpayer-funded officials and politicians don’t want you to know.
You can’t blame FBI Director James Comey for thinking he might get some credit for bringing to light potentially important evidence in the Clinton email investigation.
Instead he got blindsided by Clinton campaign counterattacks and the multitude of media lapdogs all too willing to regurgitate the Democratic spin:
Comey violated the FBI’s longtime policy of not influencing elections.
He was too vague.
Oh, no, not vagueness!
Not violating policy!
Put Comey on trial for treason.
Imagine if the FBI had important new information and decided to reopen an investigation of Trump. Do you think Comey would face such a blizzard of criticism? 
Of course not. 
Because the sad truth is much of the media badly wants Trump to lose.
So instead of the media chasing the real story — which is what might be evidence that Clinton or her aides covered up or hid more classified emails in Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin’s laptop — they question Comey’s motives. 
Because that’s what Democrats and Clinton defenders want voters to hear.
...But if reporters can’t put aside their opinions and rooting interests while covering a campaign, they should find other jobs.
The fact that a non-journalist, Julian Assange, has done the best campaign reporting should be a wake-up call. 
I have covered elections for 30 years and I really don’t care who wins or loses.
That may sound harsh.
But it’s the price you pay for being a journalist.
Or so I thought."

Is America on the Brink of Civil War?

Is America on the Brink of Civil War? | PJ Media:
"...Obama, though, is “worried about the consequences of taking such an action – the tsunami of outrage that would come his way, and possibly become a major footnote, or worse, in the history of the presidency.”
Ah, those legacy problems, not that the president has much of one outside the comically named Affordable Care Act, which is about as popular as stomach cancer.
Nevertheless, he's right about the tsunami of outrage.
In fact it's an understatement.
The bad news is this:  As miserable as this endless election season has been, the aftermath is likely to be far worse.  
You don't have to be Nostradamus to see that putting the American Humpty Dumpty together again is going to be a herculean task.
Our country could be permanently fractured in ways few of us would have anticipated even a year ago.
Anything is possible now.
If Hillary Clinton is elected, the very next day millions of Americans will be watching to see what will happen with the FBI and the Justice Department.
Since we can now assume this will be a close election, that would be nearly half the voters in this country, sixty to seventy million people, almost all of whom believe Clinton, the woman a few weeks from inauguration as president, should have been charged with serious crimes and belonged behind bars, not in the White House.
Moreover, many have seen the WikiLeaks that reek of collusion between the Clintonistas and officials at the FBI and Justice, not to mention with virtually all the mainstream media outlets that were distrusted to begin with and are now reviled.
If that's not an explosive situation, what is?
And we don't know what Assange et al have in store for us after the election.
Just now we learned that the Clinton Foundation accepted—while Her Ladyship was secretary of State and in honor of Bill's birthday—an unreported one million dollar donation from that paragon of women's and gay rights, Qatar.
This is chump change in the grand Clinton scheme of things, but another reminder of their unending greed and corruption.
More importantly, as Tyler Durden points out, this time there should be legal consequences for the foundation—or would be normally in a country governed by the rule of law.
Only we're not anymore..."

Many Singles Will Pay at Least $2,484 a Year in Obamacare Premiums

Many Singles Will Pay at Least $2,484 a Year in Obamacare Premiums:

"For a single, non-smoking adult aged 21 to 29 with no dependents, the U.S. average premium for those making an annual salary of $30,000 is $207 a month, or $2,485 annually, even after receiving subsidies from the federal government.

For individuals in this demographic who are between 21 and 26 years of age, the tax subsidies stop after one earns a salary of $36,000 or more, meaning the cost of premiums would increase to $282 a month, or $3,384 a year."

FBI Clinton Foundation probe finds 'avalanche' of corruption evidence | Daily Mail Online

FBI Clinton Foundation probe finds 'avalanche' of corruption evidence | Daily Mail Online:

"Fox is now reporting that federal investigators have collected 'a lot of' evidence, including Wikileaks emails to and foundation officials.

The law enforcement agency has at least four other investigations open that involve the Clintons and their close friends, as well.  

The FBI's probe into the foundation is much larger than has previously been reported, the network says. Some witnesses are being interviewed for a third time.

It is a 'very high priority,' Fox's sources said."
