'Code of silence' obscures surge of church attacks - WND

'Code of silence' obscures surge of church attacks - WND:

Nearly 2,000 Christian houses of worship in France have been desecrated in the past two years, according to police. In Germany, there were four such incidents in March.
Some French politicians have attributed the church desecrations — averaging more than two a day — to “militant secularism.”
But in virtually every attack across Europe, writes Raymond Ibrahim for the Gatestone Institute, “authorities and media obfuscate the identity of the vandals.”
“In those rare instances when the Muslim (or “migrant”) identity of the destroyers is leaked, the desecraters are then presented as suffering from mental health issues,” he writes.
Ibrahim cited an analysis by the German website PI News that observed: “Hardly anyone writes and speaks about the increasing attacks on Christian symbols. There is an eloquent silence in both France and Germany about the scandal of the desecrations and the origin of the perpetrators.”
Authorities avoid at all costs blaming migrants, the website said.

Seattle Man Punches Priest After Asking, 'How's Trump?' | Trending

Seattle Man Punches Priest After Asking, 'How's Trump?' | Trending
"Now that CBS is normalizing political violence, it's open season on anybody the left doesn't like. 
It's okay to punch Nazis, and a Nazi can be anybody you want. 
Even a priest.

Amy Clancy, KIRO-TV in Seattle:

From his home at the All-Merciful Saviour Monastery on Vashon Island, Abbot Tryphon told KIRO 7 about how he was suddenly attacked Tuesday morning while gassing up at the Mobil Station on Southwest 148th Street in Burien.

“I have never been hit as hard,” the Russian Orthodox priest said Wednesday. The at-large suspect “zeroed in on my cross, because when he started coming my direction, he had this look of anger.”

The leader of the Vashon monks said the man who struck him first asked, “How’s Trump?” When Abbot Tryphon answered, “I have no idea, that’s when he hit me.” Read all. 

Here's a closer look at the guy:

Ocasio-Cortez Makes A 'How My Green New Deal Saved The World' Video - The Lid

Ocasio-Cortez Makes A 'How My Green New Deal Saved The World' Video - The Lid New Deal

"...Perhaps to feed America’s superhero envy, or more probably to feed her own ego, freshman member of Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has starred in a video of herself decades in the future explaining how her Green New Deal saved the world and made Amerca a better place.

The video’s script was written by Socialist/America-hater Naiomi Klein, produced by the environment organization Sunrise Movement, and published by Glenn Greenwald’s site, The Intercept.

Klein wrote an introduction to the propaganda video that said in part:

What if we actually pulled off a Green New Deal? What would the future look like? The Intercept presents a film narrated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and illustrated by Molly Crabapple. Set a couple of decades from now, the film is a flat-out rejection of the idea that a dystopian future is a foregone conclusion. Instead, it offers a thought experiment: What if we decided not to drive off the climate cliff? What if we chose to radically change course and save both our habitat and ourselves? We realized that the biggest obstacle to the kind of transformative change the Green New Deal envisions is overcoming the skepticism that humanity could ever pull off something at this scale and speed.

With Evidence, Rush Proves Hillary Paid for the Steele Dossier - The Rush Limbaugh Show

With Evidence, Rush Proves Hillary Paid for the Steele Dossier - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

But the big take-away is that there was never any evidence of collusion. As Devin Nunes said on Fox, the day Mueller was hired he shows up in his office and he says, “Okay, Comey. Show me what you got.” Comey had been conducting this investigation into Trump-Russia collusion. The file’s empty! There’s nothing! The day Mueller took the job there was no evidence. There still hasn’t been any evidence. And the Mueller report now confirms there was is any collusion.
The real crime here, if you ask me, is that Mueller has known this since day one and certainly for the last year and a half of his investigation, has known there’s no collusion. Why not say so? Why not announce so?

"SWEDEN: OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES TO BE DECOMMISSIONED AFTER ONLY 13 YEARS “CHEAPEST OPTION”

SWEDEN: Vattenfall has decided to dismantle the 10MW Yttre Stengrund, its first Swedish offshore wind project, after 13 years of operation.
David Weston – WindPower Offshore – September 19, 2014
Vattenfall made the decision to decommission the project due to the high cost of replacing turbines and cables.
Yttre Stengrund used five 2MW NEG Micon turbines when it was commissioned in 2001. Vattenfall said only one of the turbines is currently operational.
Only 50 of the turbines were ever made so replacement parts are no longer available.
The Swedish utility have also decided against installing new turbines as the project’s export cable would need replacing if it was to continue operating. Decommissioning has been deemed the most economical option.  Continue reading here…..

Dem Visits Cuba to Learn about “Economic Development” and “Quality of Life” | Frontpage Mag: 

• Another Democrat parrots communist-scripted lies.

"Move over AOC!  Just when you thought AOC (or her scriptwriter) was unbeatable. 
Just when you thought blather from public servants could not possibly become more daft.  
Just when you thought AOC’s throne atop the pinnacle was unreachable and her crown secure—New Orleans’ Democrat mayor LaToya Cantrell (or her scriptwriter) lunges for the royal scepter.

You see, amigos: The Democrat mayor and a retinue of associated New Orleans city officials spent all of last week in Havana, Cuba to, in the mayors office’s own words:

“see firsthand how (Cuba’s) history has produced unique opportunities and challenges in the areas of economic development, trade, health care, education and other quality of life issues.”  

I realize this sounds like shameless AOC idiocy one-upsmanship. 
I realize that learning about  “quality of life”  from a place that saw multiple times as many desperate people die trying to escape it, as died trying to escape over the Berlin Wall, sounds like shameless click-bait, or even a Saturday Night Live or Monty Python skit.  
So here’s the proof...."

Behind the Obama administration’s shady plan to spy on the Trump campaign

Behind the Obama administration’s shady plan to spy on the Trump campaign:

So, consistent with President Obama’s instructions at the Jan. 5, 2017, Oval Office meeting, information about the investigation would be withheld from the president-elect. The next day, the intelligence chiefs would tell Trump only about Russia’s espionage, not about the Trump campaign’s suspected “coordination” with the Kremlin. Then, Comey would apprise Trump about only a sliver of the Steele dossier — just the lurid story about peeing prostitutes, not the dossier’s principal allegations of a traitorous Trump-Russia conspiracy.

New DOJ Report: 60,000 criminal illegal aliens are in federal custody at a staggering cost

New DOJ Report: 60,000 criminal illegal aliens are in federal custody at a staggering cost
"...U.S. attorney Zachary Terwilliger broke major news about the DOJ's brand new report on the number and costs of the incarceration of illegal aliens in federal custody. 
...Nearly 60,000 known or suspected illegal immigrants [sic] are being held in federal prisons, according to a report obtained by Fox News Tuesday from the Department of Justice.
Quoting the report, he said "criminal aliens" make up 21 percent of those in the Federal Bureau of Prisons custody and 38 percent of those in Marshals custody.
Terwilliger lamented that a "staggering" amount of resources are being diverted to fighting illegal immigration at the expense other problems like a rising opioid epidemic and rising crime rates in certain areas.

Brutal Hate Crime in Maryland: Immigrant from Togo Beaten in Germantown Street for Wearing MAGA Hat in Public (VIDEO)

Brutal Hate Crime in Maryland: Immigrant from Togo Beaten in Germantown Street for Wearing MAGA Hat in Public (VIDEO)
"Atsu Noble is a legal immigrant from Togo. He is also a Trump supporter. Last weekend Noble was beaten to the ground by two unhinged liberals for wearing a Trump hat in public.

• The violent leftists told him to remove his hat.
• When he refused they beat him to the ground.

FOX 5 DC reported:

Two men are facing charges in Montgomery County for allegedly attacking a man because he was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat in Germantown over the weekend.

On Saturday afternoon, police say a Germantown man was out enjoying the warm weather and walking through his neighborhood when he says two men walked up and became outraged by the hat that he was wearing. He says he was shocked when one of the men allegedly hit him from behind.

“I was like, ‘Why are you doing this?’ They said, ‘No, the hat,’ and they started punching me on my head.” Atsu Nable told FOX 5 Monday..."

Woman who assaulted Kellyanne Conway skates | Power Line

Woman who assaulted Kellyanne Conway skates | Power Line
"Prosecutors in Montgomery County, Maryland — the bastion of leftism and Trump hatred I call home — have dismissed charges against the woman who assaulted Kellyanne Conway in a restaurant where Conway was celebrating her birthday. 
The woman, Mary Elizabeth Inabinett, age 63, grabbed Conway from behind and shook her.

That’s clearly a misdemeanor assault. 

So why have charges against the assailant been

dropped?

Prosecutors say that even if they could prove their case, Inabinett would not deserve the type of punishment that might flow from a conviction. 

There’s no legitimate question that prosecutors could prove their case. 
Inabinett certainly committed an assault when she grabbed Conway and shook her. 
Indeed, she has apologized for doing so.

...The penalty for Inabinett’s crime is “imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $2,500 or both.” 

At a minimum Inabinett should be fined for assaulting Conway.

In short, Montgomery County prosecutors have usurped the role of lawmakers who criminalized assault and determined the range of penalties for it, and of judges who evaluate mitigating factors. 

Consider the statement of Montgomery State’s Attorney John McCormick:

Was this woman rude? Yes. Did she violate Ms. Conway’s space and try to embarrass her? Yes and yes. Is this a case where criminal sanctions would have been appropriate? No.

But wait! 

“This woman” did more than violate Conway’s space and try to embarrass her. She physically assaulted Conway. 

That’s a crime and should be treated as such..."

Penn made conservative students pay $800 to protect Candace Owens from empty threats | The College Fix

• Ivy League school gives in to threatened ‘large-scale confrontation’

Philadelphia’s Antifa movement and Twitter trolls tried to spook the University of Pennsylvania when conservative student groups invited a prominent conservative activist to campus.
They threatened to throw “coyote urine” and an “overripe tomato” at Candace Owens (below), the “Hitler admiring” communications director for Turning Point USA.
Flyers advertising the event were removed or covered by antagonists.
...The account posted phone numbers for President Amy Gutmann and Chief Diversity Officer Joann Mitchell.
The school obliged to the heckler’s veto, forcing Owens’ student hosts to cough up $800 in mandatory security fees..."
