"Media Very Quiet About The 175 People Suing CNN For Racial Discrimination

"Last few Months you couldn't get away from the media frenzy over Fox and O'Reilly and Roger Ailes being sued for sexual harassment.
 http://money.cnn.com/…/fox-news-sexual-harassment/index.html

So it's funny to find this story, buried deeper than stories of the Obama administration's IRS and Benghazi scandals or the Hillary Clinton Foundation Pay-To-Play scandal.

175 People Suing CNN For Racial Discrimination

The class-action suit has been growing by leaps and bounds ever since it was first filed in December. 

Now, some 175 current and former employees have contacted lawyers about joining the case. 

Only a few publications followed up on the story at the end of April, when the case exploded. 

"The lawsuit against CNN, meanwhile, claims the company’s Atlanta headquarters is rife with racism," The New York Post wrote on April 27.http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/…/cnn-faces-growing-racial…

But hey, if it's not on CNN, it must not be news, right?

New Comey/Clinton Connection Discovered, $6 Million Money Trail Found | Conservative Journal

New Comey/Clinton Connection Discovered, $6 Million Money Trail Found | Conservative Journal:

"According to Gateway Pundit:
“Comey served as general counsel at Lockheed Martin until 2010 when he departed with over $6 million to show for it. That same year Lockheed Martin became a member of the Clinton Global Initiative and “won 17 contracts from the U.S. State Department, which was led by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,” Big League Politics reports.

Comey just so happened to have joined the board of the British bank HSBC Holdings in 2013, which just so happens to be a Clinton Foundation partner.”"

Blog: Progressives openly signaling the arrival of political violence as a tactic to obtain power:


"The message is being sent out loud and clear: the American left is moving toward violence as a tactic in its quest to grab the political power to which it believes it is entitled.  John Daniel Davidson is absolutely correct in his observation that the "The American Left is talking itself into Violence."  He cites a lot of examples.  Here is a sample:"

Government "protecting" us?-----David B. Daugherty pleads guilty in massive Social Security fraud case - Washington Times

David B. Daugherty pleads guilty in massive Social Security fraud case - Washington Times:
"An administrative judge involved in one of the biggest Social Security frauds in history pleaded guilty Friday, admitting that he helped scam the federal government out of potentially more than half a billion dollars in bogus disability payments.

David B. Daugherty, a former administrative law judge, approved at least 3,149 disability cases filed by a single lawyer in eastern Kentucky. 

More than 1,700 of those have been deemed fraudulent by government investigators, obligating the government to pay out more than $550 million in lifetime benefits.

Daugherty pleaded guilty to two counts of receiving illegal gratuities. 

The charge is similar to bribery, though the payoff is made after the fact, not before.

“This admission that a judge in a position of trust took over a half-million dollars in cash from a crooked lawyer is outrageous,” said Rep. Sam Johnson, chairman of the House Ways and Means subcommittee that oversees the program. 

“This case proves once again that more needs to be done to stop disability fraud across America. 

I’m committed to working with my colleagues to help protect taxpayer dollars and prevent disability fraud.”

Disability fraud appears to be growing, with some of the biggest scams being detected in recent years..."

Beaton: Should Toledo taxpayers pay for Aspen art? | AspenTimes.com:
"Here in the billionaires' playground of Aspen, the politicians waived the zoning laws a few years ago for a monstrosity they call an art museum.
It's a huge square wicker basket dominating a city block, with zero setback and zero architecture. This place that is supposed to display visual beauty is itself an eyesore.
Almost everyone hates it.
But not the director Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson.
In an artistic burst, she created for herself a $900,000 salary.
Her salary is about the only permanent or valuable piece in the collection.
...The director herself admits she doesn't need the money. 
She recently told a local newspaper, "It's less about the percentage of the budget and more about the philosophical stance that the city, state and federal government values art."
You see, the money she receives is not about the money she receives.
It's about the "philosophical stance" of us peasants.
...Like the Roman emperors, she demands money from afar not because she needs it, but as tribute.
I have news for our modern-day Caligula. 
The tribute she demands for this philosophical stance/bow comes from somewhere, and it's not the government. 
The government is just the most recent stop. 
It really comes from American taxpayers..."

Rep. Peter King: 'Probably more evidence' of connections between Clinton and Russia than Trump

Rep. Peter King: 'Probably more evidence' of connections between Clinton and Russia than Trump:

""It was Hillary Clinton who was the architect of the last administration's failed 'Reset' policy. She told Russian state TV it was designed to strengthen Russia. That was their goal, to strengthen Russia. She used her office to make concession after concession, selling off one-fifth of our country's uranium, paid speeches, paid deals, getting personal calls from Vladimir Putin. "

Yes, the Population of Africa Will Grow Tremendously This Century - Reason.com

Yes, the Population of Africa Will Grow Tremendously This Centur - Reason.com:
"In my Reason column last week, I wrote about Africa's economic prospects in view of the continent's explosive population growth. 
A number of readers wrote to me in response to the article and I will attempt to address their most important concerns below.
First, readers wondered if my population estimates reflected the expected changes to the total fertility rate (TFR) among African women.
Indeed, they have.
The population data in the original article came from the United Nation's database, which adjusts for different fertility rate scenarios.
Holding TFR constant, the world would contain 26 billion people in 2100. 
Of those, 16 billion would live in Africa. 
Contrast that with the "low" fertility variant, which estimates a global population of 7.3 billion (3 billion in Africa).
In my article, I referenced the "medium" fertility variant, which assumes a global population of 11.2 billion and African population of 4.4 billion..."

Rotherham Child Rape Victim: 'Authorities Did Nothing', Was Told Not to Mention Ethnicity of Attackers - Breitbart

Rotherham Child Rape Victim: 'Authorities Did Nothing', Was Told Not to Mention Ethnicity of Attackers - Breitbart:

"Groomed from 12, Emma told LBC listeners she was a virgin when she was raped at age 13. Detailing that the rapes happened regularly, she described one occasion where she was locked in a property and sexually assaulted by multiple men.
The Muslim grooming gang then began blackmailing the young teen, and threatened to gang rape her mother if she told her parents.
“That was my life,” she said.
The rapes continued after she reported it to police, as authorities told her it was “[her] word against his”. The police had also lost the clothes she had been raped in, leaving her with no evidence for a prosecution.
Let down by authorities, she found herself being further abused by other rape gangs. "

200 Cook County Jail officers call in sick on Mother's Day | Chicago Sun-Times

200 Cook County Jail officers call in sick on Mother's Day | Chicago Sun-Times:
"More than 200 Cook County Jail officers called off work Sunday — which also happens to be Mother’s Day.
About 32 percent of the officers assigned to work from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. did not go to work, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s office.
“The extraordinary number of call offs puts additional pressure on the men and women of the Sheriff’s office who come to work as scheduled,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Of the 200 officers to call in, 86 said they were sick, the sheriff’s office said, and another 120 cited the Family Medical Leave Act, a federal law that protects an employee’s personal or family illness, family military leave and pregnancy, among other issues..."

Supreme Court Refuses to Hear North Carolina’s Voter ID Appeal. Here’s Why It’s Not a Big Deal.

Supreme Court Refuses to Hear North Carolina’s Voter ID Appeal. Here’s Why It’s Not a Big Deal.
"On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to take up an appeal filed by the North Carolina Legislature in response to the three-judge panel striking down its state voter ID law and other election reforms.
No one should read anything substantive into this.
As Chief Justice John Roberts wrote Monday in a two-page supplement to the court’s refusal to accept the case for review, “[g]iven the blizzard of filings over who is and who is not authorized to seek review in this Court under North Carolina law, it is important to recall our frequent admonition that ‘[t]he denial of a writ of certiorari imports no expression of opinion upon the merits of the case.’”
In other words, the Supreme Court was not ruling here on whether the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ three-judge panel was correct in its assessment of the North Carolina law. (It wasn’t.)...

America’s death coming by a thousand visas

America’s death coming by a thousand visas:
"Islam makes its presence in America felt in many ways.
Sometimes it happens through violence.
Far more often it happens when Muslim immigrants arrive and plant their own institutions and customs on American soil.
And some Muslims come with the specific purpose of spreading Islam.
There are now roughly 3,200 mosques in America, nearly three times as many as there were in 2000. 
And these are not just any mosques, according to Leo Hohmann, a WND news editor who has reported extensively on Islam and immigration.
“A lot of these mosques that we have in this country are more radical than what you would find even in the Middle East: 85 percent of the imams in this country are foreign-born, getting their education from Al-Azhar University in Cairo, or another major university in Saudi Arabia,” Hohmann said during a recent appearance on “Caravan to Midnight” with John B. Wells.
Hohmann, who authored the book “Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest Through Immigration and the Resettlement Jihad,“ said many of these imams come to the U.S. on R-1 visas, which are for ministers and other religious workers.
“These are the worst of the worst,” he declared.
“These are the people that really are serious about spreading Islam, and they’re using our visa system and the ignorant, naïve American kafir to come in here and spread it.”
What’s more, Hohmann pointed out that roughly 80 percent of American mosques are funded at least partially by Saudi Arabia, home of the radical Wahhabi strain of Islam..."

"...Now he has revisited the subject, specifically millennials’ conduct in the workplace.  
He is not impressed.
...He writes in Leaders Eat Last, which will be re-published on May 23: “Wherever I go, no matter the organization size or industry, managers are looking for guidance on how to lead their millennials.
“Exasperated, many have resorted to simply asking their millennials what they want.
Requests from their young workforce range from open plan seating, to more flexibility as to when they work, to providing their meals or a laundry service for them.
“Many executives find that even when some or all of these requests are granted, they still struggle to inspire engagement or loyalty and many millennials remain unable to find the sense of job satisfaction or fulfillment they crave.”"...
