"A school in Florida that dumped the Common Core program in favor of traditional teaching methods has soared to the number one position in the State’s top schools list, according to government statistics.

Mason Classical Academy, a charter school in Naples, Florida, decided against forcing kids to learn the Obama endorsed Common Core method of teaching, due to the way it deliberately dumbs down children and created unnecessary and complicated methods for working out relatively simple problems."

Paris 'No Go Zones' Where Immigrants Terrorize Women Threaten its 2024 Olympics Bid | Heat Street

Paris 'No Go Zones' Where Immigrants Terrorize Women Threaten its 2024 Olympics Bid | Heat Street:
"Paris’s aspiration to stage the Olympic Games in 2024 is under threat partly because of so-called ‘no go zones’ in the city where immigrants from Asia and Africa pester and abuse women.
Areas like Place de la Chapelle, formerly a quiet square behind the Gare du Nord train station, have been transformed in a short space of time into havens for immigrant rough sleepers and drug dealers which are said to be increasingly intimidating for many people, especially women.
According go the Sunday Times of London, since 2015 a huge influx of immigrants – mostly single men – have begun sleeping in parks, on the streets and under the arches of the Metro bridges in northeast Paris.
They have been accused of verbally abusing women in the streets, routinely shouting “Bitch” and “Dirty whore”. 
Street robbery and drug taking have also become rife..."

‘Civilizational jihad’ underway at 3,000 U.S. mosques

‘Civilizational jihad’ underway at 3,000 U.S. mosques:

"CAIR, according to FBI evidence, was established as a front in the U.S. for the Muslim Brotherhood and its spinoff Hamas. Gaubatz saved over 12,000 pages of documents from being shredded that show CAIR considered working with Osama bin Ladin, used a Muslim law enforcement officer to influence a terrorism investigation, attempted to influence Congress through lobbying and allegedly committed fraud by referring Muslim clients to an attorney who had never passed a bar exam.

Gaubatz pointed out there are more than 3,000 mosques in the United States and the vast majority are either Muslim Brotherhood mosques or ideologically with the Brotherhood.”

“We have over 700 chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Muslim Student Association, and then you have about 30 chapters of [the terrorist group] Hamas doing business as CAIR in the United States. So yeah, this is a vast network or jihadi organizations and individuals.”"

Everybody Is Forgetting That Clinton Allies D | The Daily Caller

Everybody Is Forgetting That Clinton Allies D | The Daily Caller:
"Many journalists reacted breathlessly to a New York Times report on Sunday revealing that President Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., met with a Russian lawyer who indicated she had damaging information about Hillary Clinton.
...But Trump Jr., Kushner and Manafort’s lone meeting with the Russian lawyer pales when compared to the coordination between Clinton allies and Ukrainian government officials who hoped to see Clinton win the 2016 election.
Politico revealed in January some of the Ukrainian government’s anti-Trump activities during the election.
A veteran DNC operative who previously worked in the Clinton White House, Alexandra Chalupa, worked with Ukrainian government officials and journalists from both Ukraine and America to dig up Russia-related opposition research on Trump and Manafort. 
She also shared her anti-Trump research with both the DNC and the Clinton campaign, according to the Politico report.
...“Oksana said that if I had any information, or knew other people who did, then I should contact Chalupa,” said Telizhenko
“They were coordinating an investigation with the Hillary team on Paul Manafort with Alexandra Chalupa.”
“Oksana was keeping it all quiet,” Telizhenko said, but added that “the embassy worked very closely with” Chalupa, the DNC operative.
Like the Ukrainian embassy, the DNC distanced itself from Chalupa’s actions when asked by Politico, insisting that she was acting on her own."

Two years after the bailout, life in Greece has gotten more miserable:

His crime? Religious discrimination, according to the tribunal."

WATCH: Officer RIPS Hollywood, BLM For Their Silence On NYC Female Cop Assassination | Daily Wire:
"In a viral video making the rounds on the internet, an unnamed police officer calls out Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes and Black Lives Matter for their deafening silence on the assassination of New York City cop and mother of three Miosotis Familia, 48, last week by an apparent anti-cop radical.

Where is the thirst for "justice" from those who protest justified police shootings of criminals, the officer wants to know.
"The one thing I want to know is, where the hell ar

Where's all the sports teams wearing NYPD stuff? Where's the 'hands up, don't shoot' people?

Trudeau Says All Canadians Are Paying Khadr's | The Daily Caller

Trudeau Says All Canadians Are Paying Khadr's | The Daily Caller:
"Speaking at the G-20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany Saturday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finally addressed his decision to “compensate” confessed killer Omar Khadr with $10.5 million and a formal apology.
Trudeau says he was merely adhering to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and following judicial advice.
He suggested that the charter protects all Canadians “even when it is uncomfortable.”
“When the government violates any Canadian’s Charter rights, we all end up paying for it,” he said.
However, Trudeau did not discuss why he decided to secretly pay Khadr the money.
Tabitha Speer, the widow of the U.S. Army medic who Khadr confessed to killing, and another soldier blinded in the attack, successfully sued Khadr for $134 million and numerous reports suggest the Trudeau government wanted Khadr to receive his payment before it could be diverted as damages to the pair.
Khadr was suing the Canadian government because he says he was “tortured” through sleep deprivation while a detainee at Guantanamo Bay..."

WOW! LOU DOBBS BLASTS #FakePresident OBAMA: "Spent 8 Years Undermining Core American Values"... Now Doing His Best To "Undercut President Trump" By Pretending To Still Be President [VIDEO] » 100percentfedUp.com:

"Dobbs suggested to his viewers that Obama’s meetings with various world leaders appear to all be organized. Why is the media ignoring Barack Obama’s bizarre meetings with South Korea’s new President Moon Jae-in, Britian’s Prime Minister Theresa May, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Angela Merkel? Would they have ignored former President George W. Bush if he embarked on a world tour to undercut or undermine Barack Obama only months after he was elected as our President?

Perhaps someone needs to tell the FORMER President that in America, there’s only ONE President at a time. Barry had his chance, and he failed miserably."

Report: Students 'Shun' University of Missouri Two Years After Protests, Enrollment Down 35% - Breitbart

Report: Students 'Shun' University of Missouri Two Years After Protests, Enrollment Down 35% - Breitbart:
"The University of Missouri is still facing enrollment issues in the aftermath of campus protests that took place two years ago, according to a report from the New York Times.
Freshman enrollment at the University is down 35 percent since the protests that centered on student complaints about supposed inaction from campus police with regards to acts of racial bigotry.
According to the report, the University acknowledges that the 2015 protests are the “main reason” for the drop in enrollment.
Administrators believe that most families now consider the institution to either be a breeding ground for unchecked bigotry or a playground for student protesters to run amok."
