  1. BREITBART – The Left’s Smear Campaign Against Sebastian Gorka Continues

    White House foreign policy adviser Dr. Sebastian Gorka showed up Wednesday at a book talk I gave at the headquarters of the Republican National Coalition in Washington, D.C. He was joined by a Jewish White House colleague, along with several dozen other Jews.

    All of these Jews were unaware, apparently, that in their midst a hidden Nazi was lurking — at least, according to the Forward, which attempted Thursday to claim that Gorka is secretly a member of a Nazi organization.

    We have been here before. Last month, a left-wing blogger made the same false claim, which was thoroughly debunked by Breitbart News (where Gorka was once an editor) and others.

    The Forward now claims Gorka once pledged loyalty to the Historical Vitézi Rend, a racist rival to the Vitézi Rend, which is a postwar anticommunist organization. (The word “historical” was added to allude to the original Vitézi Rend, which was co-opted by Hungary’s Nazi-aligned government and later banned.)

    Gorka denies it all. And as Trump critic Liel Leibovitz notes in Tablet, the Forward offers no proof other than the claims of the Historical Vitézi Rend, whom the Forward suddenly deems trustworthy sources not requiring further corroboration.

    It is possible to play this game both ways: In 2015, the Forward changed its name from “The Jewish Daily Forward” to simply “the Forward.” This, apparently, was a nod to left-wing antisemites. After all, the Forward is critical of Israel. Verdict: guilty!

    Not to be outdone, the execrable Stephen Goldstein of the Anne Frank Center — a man who desecrates the Holocaust by abusing it in his partisan attacks against the Trump administration — demanded that Gorka resign, claiming that “grotesque Antisemitism … has infected the Trump White House.”

    That absurd statement, like the article that inspired it, is nothing more than the defamation of a good man and the most pro-Israel administration in U.S. history, staffed to the rafters with Jews.

  2. “A pair of friends who made a film of a live goldfish being swallowed have avoided jail and been given suspended sentences after being found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to the animal.

    Daniel Challis, 24, of Torquay, and Cheryl Stevens, 27, of Paignton, were sentenced to 18 weeks, suspended for 12 months, by Plymouth Magistrates Court on Friday”

    “He is one of the most famous mousers in the world and has spent half a decade longer at Number 10 than Theresa May.

    But has Larry the Cat lost his bloodthirsty edge?

    Downing Street insiders have said the docile moggy is happy to snooze while mice scurry past his nose and that he lacks the killer instinct of some of his more ferocious colleagues”

    The owner of an unleashed pet allows it to savage an animal. The RSPCA are weak before the strong and strong before the weak. A typical socialist organ.

    • DUBAI – : Man Behind Video of Live Cat Being Fed to Dogs Arrested

      Local News reported Tuesday, that a man who posted a horrific video released on social media, featuring a live cat being fed to two dogs allegedly for eating birds, was arrested by Dubai police authorities.

      The video that saw wide circulation in social media, featured a man urging two Rottweilers to eat the cat, which was in an open cage.

      As one of the dogs was brutally attacking the cat, a man’s voice in the background was heard telling the cat, “You eat pigeons and chickens? “

      He then commands the dogs to: “Eat the cat, eat it.”

      The man responsible for the video was arrested, according to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) press, although it remains unclear whether the voice in the video belonged to the same man.

      The commander of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Dubai police, major General Khalil Al-Mansouri , told the National Daily that the charge of animal abuse carries a substantial fine and a jail term.

      However, the National Daily reports that Dr. Susan Aylott, a volunteer at Abu Dhabi’s Animal Welfare, claims that such displays of cruelty to animals was not uncommon in the UAE.

      Dr. Aylott alleges that: “We have had several recent incidents like this, including that of a dog whose hind legs were tied and then skinned alive. The abuse has not stopped.”

      Dubai’s ruler orders men who fed cat to dogs to clean zoo

      Three men accused of feeding a cat to hungry dogs have been ordered by Dubai’s emir to clean its zoo for four hours a day for the next three months.

      In a video of the incident, a man can be heard encouraging two dogs to drag the cat from an open cage to punish it for eating chickens and pigeons.

      Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum condemned the “brutal and cruel act”.

      Last month, the emir ordered a group of men to clean streets for four hours a day as punishment for reckless driving.

      It is not clear if the men who fed the cat to the dogs will also face prosecution.

      Maj Gen Khalil al-Mansouri of Dubai police force’s criminal investigation department warned on Tuesday that those convicted of animal cruelty could face jail terms and heavy fines under a new law in the United Arab Emirates.

      He also urged the public to refrain from posting such videos on social media.

  3. MEMRI – All the World’s Powers Combined Cannot Overcome the Ideas of the Islamic State

    Norway-Based Former Jihadi Leader Mullah Fateh Krekar: All the World’s Powers Combined Cannot Overcome the Ideas of the Islamic State

    Mullah Father Krekar, former founder and leader of the Sunni terrorist group Ansar Al-Islam, said that “all the world’s powers combined” cannot beat the ideology of the Islamic State organization. Mullah Krekar, whose original name is Najmaddin Faraj Ahmad, arrived in Norway in 1991 as a refugee and has been living there since. In an interview with NRT TV, a channel from Iraqi Kurdistan, Krekar said that if the Islamic State is eliminated, a similar group will emerge, because its ideology is rooted in literary sources that are unchangeable, like the Quran and the Hadith. He labeled President Trump’s policies “false bravado” and challenged him to send his “most courageous men” to Libya to fight the “lions of Islam.” The interview aired on February 20.

    • All the World’s Powers Combined Cannot Overcome the Ideas of the Islamic State

      One can only speculate as to whether this parasitic slimebag fully realizes exactly what the final upshot of his threatening words will manifest as?

      After all, when “the Ideas of the Islamic State” are reduced to superheated, ionized particles that never again can recombine in any meaningful manner, the probability that “another organization will appear” from Islam’s endless alphabet soup of terrorist nomenclature begins to approach a value of NEGATIVE ZERO.

      Krekar, like every other perpetually belligerent and antagonistic Muslim cretin, leave sane Westerners little choice but to take these warmongering barbarians at their very word and visit upon them some form of massively disproportionate, Machiavellian retaliation which is so severe that any further “vengeance need not be feared” throughout all time. Full stop.

      This is the fate that jihadist Islam is rapidly welcoming upon itself from an increasingly impatient West whose military superiority makes Muslims look like the scurrying cockroaches that they always have been throughout all history.

      The only significant challenge will reside in figuring out how to remove the stain of Muslim atrocities from humanity’s collective conscience. Once those bubbles stop coming up, little else will be needed save adequate amounts of chilled Champagne and party favors.

      This is the future that pond scum like Krekar make inevitable.

  4. UK: Students march against Breitbart editor’s rectorial nomination at Glasgow University

  5. Man allegedly planted bomb at Port Authority Bus Terminal

    A California drifter left the parts to build an “improvised explosive device” at a busy eatery in the Port Authority Bus Terminal — hiding them in a piece of luggage, officials said Thursday.

    Arsenio Mason, 39, a fugitive from the Golden State, allegedly planted the bag on the first floor of the terminal’s south wing inside Deli Plus around 5:15 p.m. Wednesday.

    A PAPD K-9 unit inspected the suitcase, didn’t detect explosives and brought it to a police substation at the terminal to examine it, police sources said.

    Inside, officers found what appeared to be a disassembled improvised explosive device along with a knife, bolt cutters and screwdrivers, the sources added. They also found personal hygiene items in the bag.

  6. Clinton private email probe hindered by State Department, Chaffetz says

    The head of the congressional committee investigating Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information on her private email server blasted the State Department on Wednesday for hindering its probe by not providing requested documents.

    Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, also served notice on the White House that its credibility in claiming transparency is on the line.

    “We need to understand the gravity of this. There is a reason the State Department, years after, is still holding off on giving us documents,” Chaffetz told Fox News. “The more they want to hold them, the more curious we are on what’s in them.”

    Chaffetz said the State Department has been “dreadfully slow” in turning over some 30,000 additional documents, and that he expected the investigation to last well into 2018.

    “Agencies like to brag about how many thousands of documents they’ve given us, but it’s not about the count — it’s about getting 100 percent of them.”

    The committee head said his panel plans to investigate the case from “top to bottom” — including investigating the meeting on an airport tarmac between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and President Bill Clinton in “such close proximity” to the conclusion of the FBI’s investigation of the email scandal.

    According to Chaffetz, it could be as many as 300 people who mishandled classified information at the State Department.

    “It’s hard to believe nobody is even going to get a slap on the hand — somebody, people need to be held accountable,” he said.

    On Feb. 16 Chaffetz sent a letter, which committee Democrats called a “waste of time,” to the Justice Department requesting the prosecution of former State Department employee Brian Pagliano, who failed twice last September to comply with a committee subpoena.

    “Apparently, Chairman Chaffetz and President Trump are the only two people in Washington today who think we should still be investigating Secretary Clinton,” Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said in a statement last month. “The Oversight Committee can’t afford to be distracted by political vendettas against Hillary Clinton while our constituents are begging us to conduct responsible oversight of President Trump.”

    A Justice Department spokesperson told Fox News the letter is “under review.”

    Separately, the State Department said it would continue to seek a dismissal of a lawsuit by Judicial Watch that seeks more Clinton emails from her tenure at the department.

    “For the State Department and DOJ lawyers to still say their position is what the Obama administration’s position was is not good,” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, told Fox News. “The default position of the bureaucracy is secrecy, and in terms of partisanship, it’s to protect Mrs. Clinton.”

    “I think the Obama White House and agencies were delaying this as much as they could, but there’s no excuse now — we’re going to find out just how transparent the Trump administration is going to be,” Chaffetz said. “There is no doubt — we’re not letting go of this now.”
