Here’s A List Of All The Muslim Countries That Ban Jews | Daily Wire

Here’s A List Of All The Muslim Countries That Ban Jews | Daily Wire:

The so-called temporary “ban,” issued via presidential executive order, was designed to assess the national security treat posed by ISIS militants infiltrating refugee populations. To be clear, Trump’s executive order doesn’t even scratch the surface of banning all Muslims. That’s a fiction peddled by social justice warriors intent on exploiting the public’s fears about fascism to galvanize support for their pet causes and “non-profits.”

Eager to make strange bedfellows with naïve and uber-tolerant progressives, Muslim community leaders and Islamic “advocacy” organizations, including Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated CAIR, have all but turned victimhood into an art form."

California State Senate Leader: 'Half My Family' Here Illegally

California State Senate Leader: 'Half My Family' Here Illegally:

"Testifying before the Senate Public Safety Committee, De Léon defended the widespread practice by illegal aliens of using fraudulent documents to work and obtain taxpayer-paid benefits, dismissing any concerns California citizens may have about being the target of identity theft.

In an interview the following day on KPCC 89.3’s Air Talk with Larry Mantle, De Léon expressed outrage that President Trump’s executive order would include those who possess fraudulent documents or committed identity theft to obtain a Social Security number.

“Someone simply who received or purchased a [fraudulent] Social Security card down at McArthur Park, or elsewhere in my district would be eligible immediately for mass deportation,”"

‘Manpower’ doesn’t mean ‘man power’

Beaton: ‘Manpower’ doesn’t mean ‘man power’ | AspenTimes.com:
"Free speech is no longer free at our universities.
If you say the wrong thing, your words will cost you.
Even if you say the right thing it’ll cost you plenty.
At Princeton University, you pay tuition of $41,820 per year (well, this being academia, make that per two-thirds of a year) for the language police to ban you from words they deem sexist.

The ban applies to so-called hateful words and phrases like “layman,” “mankind” (which the censors deem not just politically incorrect but also oxymoronic), “man hours,” “workmanlike” and of course that most-hated word, “manpower.”
In addition, they’ve banned gender-specific pronouns.
So you can’t say, for example, “Each person pays his tuition through the nose.”
Do it, but don’t say it.
You can substitute “their” for “his.”
So you can say, “Each person pays their tuition through the nose.”
Grammatically speaking, this use of the plural pronoun “their” to reference one person is incorrect unless the person has a mouse in his/her/their pocket and the mouse is carrying its own $41,820, which it intends to pay through its own little nose.
But let’s not let grammar, money or vermin stand in the way of social justice.
Where will this end?..."

New York Times discovers most terrorists aren’t ‘lone wolves’ – TheBlaze

New York Times discovers most terrorists aren’t ‘lone wolves’ – TheBlaze:

"An examination of successful and unsuccessful plots claimed by the Islamic State over the past three years indicate that these guided plots make up the lion’s share of the Islamic State’s terror operations.

“If you look at the communications between the attackers and the virtual plotters, you will see that there is a direct line of communication to the point where they are egging them on minutes, even seconds, before the individual carries out an attack,” said Barr.

As the Times points out, this analysis is different from what had been the talking points from the Obama administration regarding terror attacks within the U.S. borders:"

Whistle-Blower: 'Global Warming' Data Manipulated Before Paris Conference

Whistle-Blower: 'Global Warming' Data Manipulated Before Paris Conference:
"A high-level whistleblower at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has revealed that the organization published manipulated data in a major 2015 report on climate change in order to maximize impact on world leaders at the UN climate conference in Paris in 2015.
According to a report in The Mail on Sunday, NOAA scientist Dr. John Bates has produced “irrefutable evidence” that the NOAA study denying the “pause” in global warming in the period since 1998 was based on false and misleading data.
The NOAA study was published in June 2015 by the journal Science under the title “Possible artifacts of data biases in the recent global surface warming hiatus.”

Dr. Bates accused the lead author of the paper, Thomas Karl, of “insisting on decisions and scientific choices that maximized warming and minimized documentation.”
Bates says that Karl did so “in an effort to discredit the notion of a global warming pause, rushed so that he could time publication to influence national and international deliberations on climate policy.”
Bates said that NOAA bypassed its own protocol, never subjecting the report to NOAA’s strict internal evaluation process.
Rather, NOAA superiors rushed the study through in a “blatant attempt to intensify the impact” of the paper on the Paris meeting on climate change, he said.
The “Pausebuster” paper produced by NOAA in 2015 was based on two new sets of temperature data—one measuring land temperatures and the other sea temperatures—both of which turned out to be flawed..."

Rosa Brooks, Obama Pentagon official, says anti-Trump military coup possible

Rosa Brooks, Obama Pentagon official, says anti-Trump military coup possible - Washington Times
"A former Defense Department official under the Obama administration has raised the specter of a military coup to remove President Donald Trump from power.
In an editorial penned for Foreign Policy, senior Pentagon policy official Rosa Brooks publicly suggested a military insurrection against the Trump administration may be the only option to oust one of the most divisive presidents in American history.
“Donald Trump’s first week as president has made it all too clear: Yes, he is as crazy as everyone feared,” Ms. Brooks wrote. “[One] possibility is one that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America: a military coup, or at least a refusal by military leaders to obey certain orders.”
For the first time in her career in public service, including three years as senior counselor to the Pentagon’s policy chief from 2009 to 2011, “I can imagine plausible scenarios in which senior military officials might simply tell the president: ‘No, sir. We’re not doing that.’”..."
