  1. Niger hit by unprecedented spate of child deaths: MSF (news24, Sep 25, 2018)
    https://www.news24.com/Africa/News/niger-hit-by-unprecedented-spate-of-child-deaths-msf-20180925

    “Medical charity Doctors Without Borders warned on Tuesday over unprecedented levels of child mortality in southern Niger during the past month, with 10 children dying per day.

    Most deaths are linked to surging cases of malaria or malnutrition that have forced the intensive paediatric care unit in the city of Magaria to fill up, said the charity, which is known by its French acronym, MSF.

    “We have never seen anything like this before and we fear it’s just the tip of the iceberg,” Dorian Job, the Geneva-based head of MSF’s Niger programme, said in a statement.

    Malaria cases normally rise this time of year because of the season, but the number this year is extraordinary, the charity added.

    “MSF medics believe they are only seeing one sixth of the children who are in need of care,” the statement further said.

    The hospital in Magaria serves a population of up to one million, 20% of whom are under five.

    MSF already provides support to Magaria but has in response to the surging deaths dispatched an additional 243 medical staff and set up mobile clinics to try to reach children currently not getting care.

    There were some 216 million cases of malaria worldwide in 2016, an increase of five million from the year before, according to World Health Organisation (WHO) figures issued in April.

    Around 90% of the 445 000 malaria-related deaths in 2016 occurred in Africa. Seventy percent of fatalities occurred among children under five.”

    • We have never seen anything like this before and we fear it’s just the tip of the iceberg,” Dorian Job, the Geneva-based head of MSF’s Niger programme, said in a statement.

      Malaria cases normally rise this time of year because of the season, but the number this year is extraordinary, the charity added.

      Please note that there is ZERO mention of how al-Shabaab’s Islamic terrorism is helping to drive a significant portion of this misery and DEATH, as Muslim lunacy does most everywhere else in the entire world.

  2. French Emergency Workers Don Bulletproof Vests Due to ‘Growing Violence’ (breitbart, Sep 25, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/09/25/french-emergency-workers-don-bulletproof-vests-due-to-growing-violence/

    “French emergency medical staff in Toulon are now putting on bulletproof vests to protect themselves after a rise in violence has seen multiple homicides and attempted murders in the city.

    The decision to allow paramedics, doctors, and nurses to wear bulletproof vests comes after years of deliberation on how to protect hospital staff from mentally unstable patients and armed attackers on the streets, Le Parisien reports.

    In a press release, Service d’Aide Médicale Urgente (SAMU) 83 listed several scenarios including terrorist attacks, armed gang reprisals, and the handling of violent mentally disturbed patients saying: “These are different types of interventions for which our teams were far from being properly protected from.”

    One set of vests will be given to the Mobile Emergency and Resuscitation Service (SMUR) unit which includes at least one doctor, a paramedic, and a nurse on board…”

  3. German Parliament President Expresses No Hope in Deportations, Says Migrants Should Integrate (breitbart, Sep 25, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/09/25/german-parliament-president-no-hope-deportations-says-migrants-integrate/

    “German parliament president Wolfgang Schäuble doubts that failed asylum seekers will be deported and claims that instead, they should stay in Germany and integrate into society.

    “We should realise how difficult it is to deport in individual cases,” the former federal finance minister and member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) said, according to Die Welt.

    “That’s why we should not foster too much hope that we can send back the majority of these people. Rather, we should all muster the strength to integrate them into our society,” he added.

    Schäuble also defended the mass migration policies of Chancellor Merkel in 2015 stating: “On September 4, 2015, with the thousands of refugees at the train station in Budapest, the Chancellor’s decision was the right one. But what failed after that is to limit the communicative consequences.”

    While serving as finance minister in the previous coalition government, Schäuble allocated the entire federal government surplus toward migrant costs in 2016. He also caused controversy that same year after making a statement in which he said closed borders could lead to Germany degenerating through inbreeding…”

  4. Donald Trump to U.N.: OPEC ‘Ripping Off the Rest of the World’ (breitbart, Sep 25, 2018)
    https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/09/25/donald-trump-un-opec-ripping-off-world/

    “President Donald Trump proclaimed as he spoke to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday that he does not like that “OPEC and OPEC nations are, as usual, ripping off the rest of the world.”

    The U.S. president commended Poland and warned Germany about energy dependence on Russia that “can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation.” He added that the U.S. has become the largest energy producer in the world and that OPEC nations will be forced to contribute more to their own military protection…”

  5. Canadian-American Cleric Azhar Nasser: Husband Has Right To ‘Intimacy’ Whenever He Likes And May Strike His Wife ‘To Salvage The Marriage’

    During a September 15 lesson at Az-Zahraa Islamic Centre in Richmond, British Columbia, American Shi’ite cleric Azhar Nasser discussed the “wife-beating verse” in the Quran.

    He said that because a man provides for his wife, he has the right to “intimacy” whenever he pleases, and that some sources say that the wife is forbidden from denying or delaying intimacy lest “the angels ask Allah to deprive her of His mercy.”

    He also said that according to some scholars, a woman cannot leave the house without her husband’s permission because he might desire her while she is away.

    During his lecture, titled “Battered & Bruised,” Nasser said that in “extreme cases,” when the wife is “immodest,” the man must first admonish her, and if that does not work he must separate the beds to “show his discontent.”

    Then, if he feels that it may “rectify the problem and salvage the marriage,” he may strike his wife.

    Azhar Nasser, born and raised in Michigan and a graduate of the University of Michigan, currently resides in Richmond, B.C., Canada. The address was an installment in a series of lectures at Az-Zahraa Islamic Centre and was posted on its YouTube and Facebook pages.

    “A female human rights activist has been shot dead in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, which has seen violent anti-government protests in recent weeks.

    Video posted online appears to show an unidentified man opening fire at Suad al-Ali as she gets into a car near a supermarket in the Abbasiya area.

  7. Late Night Talk Show Host Jimmy Kimmel Wants To Cut Brett Kavanaugh’s Penis Off

    It’s hard to tell how low the new low will be, but this might be pretty close (still, liberals always amaze, don’t they?).

    In his opening monologue Monday night, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel said Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should be confirmed — as long as there’s a compromise first.

    “Hear me out on this,” Kimmel said. “So Kavanaugh gets confirmed to the Supreme Court, OK? Well, in return we get to cut that pesky penis of his off in front of everyone.” A few members of the audience groaned, so Kimmel added, “No? That’s not good? I thought I had a solution there for a minute.”

  8. Trump Administration Plans to Enforce Public Charge Law

    The Trump Administration will soon propose a federal rule to help ensure that immigrants and non-immigrants seeking entry to the United States rely on the resources of their sponsors and family members rather than public benefits. It would define the term “public charge” in regulation and to identify the types, amount, and duration of receipt of public benefits that would be considered in determining whether someone is inadmissible. Once published, the public will have 60 days to comment before the rule is finalized.

    A “public charge” is a person who does not have a livelihood and relies on public assistance. If a nonimmigrant or immigrant becomes a public charge, the person can be deported. The first public charge law was enacted in 1882, but colonies started to adopt personal responsibility requirements as early as 1645.

    In 1996, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act and Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act strengthened public charge law by raising the qualifications and obligations of sponsors, and enabling states to deny welfare benefits to legal immigrants and illegal aliens

  9. Listen while you can, with what the Dems are trying songs like this may disappear from the net

    Lee Greenwood – God Bless the U.S.A.

  10. As we watch the Dems try and destroy Kavanaugh and the US here is another one to remember.

    All gave some and some gave all

    What is a veteran?

    A Veteran is someone who once wrote a blank check to the US Government saying, Everything including my life if necessary.

    Author unknown.

    Billy Ray Cyrus – Some Gave All

    • I ran across these songs and thought that given what is happening in DC they should be seen to remind people what the middle of the US (Fly Over Country) is like. This and we who live here are the people the Dems ignore and look down on when they think of us. We are also were the vast majority of the military comes from and where a lot of the career military (lifers) go when they retire.

      Message to the Dems don’t make the mistake of thinking you can take our freedom, a lot of good men have tried and they have all died.

        • Free lesson for the regular readers, when it hits the fan and the chaos begins, if you are fighting and your aren’t cheating you are losing.

  11. Chain Migration Used to Import Entire Family Villages of Foreigners
    By Pamela Geller – on September 24, 2018

    President Trump has said: “Chain migration is a disaster for this country and it’s horrible.”

    He is right. According to Department of Homeland Security statistics, since 2007, the U.S. has admitted over 117,000 individuals from the three countries that the State Department recognizes as state-sponsors of terrorism: Iran, Syria, and Sudan.

    How is the U.S. economy or way of life enriched by a massive influx of Iranians, Sudanese, and Syrians? What are they bringing to the table? Of course, even to ask such a question is islamofauxbic. But the grim reality is that to bring in such people in large numbers without adequate vetting procedures (and what vetting procedures can be adequate for a religion of taqiyya and deceit?) is like playing Russian roulette. The longer we do it, the less likely it is to end well. Look what happened with the fifteen jihadis on this list. And until this program is stopped, they will by no means be the last ones.

  12. Saudi Arabia Scooping Up Land in Northern Virginia
    By Pamela Geller – on September 24, 2018

    There is no telling what the Saudis are up to in buying all this land, but there is no doubt that it won’t be anything good. The much-touted “reforms” of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are more show than substance. The Islamic Kingdom has been cracking down on dissent, arresting women’s rights campaigners and setting new stiff penalties for “blasphemy.” There needs to be a national discussion about Saudi activities in the U.S., and their intentions. But there won’t be.

    https://gellerreport.com/2018/09/saudi-arabia-virginia.html/

        • I don’t _care_ what they’re up to. It’s not good for us. Tardish stakeholders.

          I know they bought massive property in Spain. Now it’s their Waqf:

          Properties with waqf status, such as schools or hospitals, remain so perpetually, providing endless benefit to the community and endless Heavenly blessings to the donor.

          Sovereign tardish territory, can’t be sold to the kafir. A target for irredentism forever.

  13. Kavanaugh’s Young Daughters Now Facing Serious Death Threats and “They’re Getting Worse by the Day”Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer have released a report in the New Yorker from a second woman accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct — and this time it includes a dildo.

    And the woman was drunk.

    The 53-year-old accuser Deborah Ramirez told the New Yorker that she was initially hesitant to speak out because she was drunk at the time and her memory had gaps. She spent six days “carefully assessing her memories” and consulting with her attorney before going public.

    ………

    Following the New Yorker article creepy porn lawyer accused Brett Kavanaugh of getting women drunk and pulling trains on them.

    Judge Brett Kavanaugh has two young daughters.
    According to Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, Kavanaugh’s two young daughters are now facing serious death threats and “they’re getting worse by the day.”

    Kellyanne Conway wonders why the media won’t report on this?

    • She is suppose to be an experienced sex crime investigator, this is the reason so many people doubt that Ford will not show up for the questioning.

  15. Bosnia Must Provide Shelter for Migrants ahead of Winter: UNHCR (tasnimnews, Sep 25, 2018)
    https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2018/09/25/1837168/bosnia-must-provide-shelter-for-migrants-ahead-of-winter-unhcr

    “TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Bosnia should do more to organize shelter for migrants before the arrival of winter, including for hundreds sleeping rough in towns near the Croatian border, the UN said on Tuesday.

    About 15,000 refugees and migrants from Asia and North Africa have passed through Bosnia this year on their way to Europe’s wealthier countries.

    “The key challenge now is how to prepare for winter,” said Stephanie Woldenberg, senior protection officer for the UNHCR refugee agency.

    “It is the race against time and UNHCR is particularly concerned about vulnerable families and individuals who are most at risk.”

    Woldenberg, speaking at an event sponsored by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), said more than 1,000 refugees and migrants were sleeping rough in Bihac and Velika Kladusa, two towns in the northwestern Bosnia near the Croatian border, Reuters reported.

    Several thousand migrants remain in Bosnia after Croatia tightened its borders and new people arrive daily, crossing illegally from Serbia.

    Bosnia’s state authorities say they are coping to refurbish inadequate facilities where migrants are currently accommodated but the process has been slow because of a lack of funding and cooperation from local counterparts.

    Woldenberg said a priority for the authorities was to protect families with children, single women and unaccompanied minors. “Safe appropriate accommodation must be provided for these groups as a priority,” she said.”

    “Assassination campaigns targeted anti-regime officials in northern Syria, killing a military senior official opposed to the Russian-Turkish agreement on Idlib signed on January.

    A joint Russian-Turkish plan to set up a demilitarized zone as a buffer between the Syrian regime forces and Syrian rebels was signed by Russian president Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, at a bilateral summit in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.

    Syrian opposition media sources said unidentified gunmen assassinated a Guardians of Religion Organization military leader, who went by the alias As-Sayaf, near the town of Kansafra in Idlib’s countryside.

    The incident comes a day after the opposition group announced rejecting to cooperate with the Russian-Turkish agreement…”

    “Egyptian children in one of the country’s provinces are coming back to school this year with one minor change, Disney characters have been blacklisted.

    The governor of Qalioubiya, north of the capital, announced the move this week ordering all depictions of the much-loved cartoon animals to be removed from schools and replaced by images of “military heroes”.

    “We need to replace the images of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck with images of famous Egyptians and military martyrs so children look up to them as role models,” Alaa Marzouq told domestic media…”

    “As the controversy over alleged rigging in general elections and exclusion of Senate members from the parliamentary committee formed to probe it continues to reverberate in the Senate, a lawmaker claimed that 92 per cent of the Forms 45 had no signatures of polling agents.

    Taking part in the discussion on the third report on general elections presented in the house by the Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Interior, Rehman Malik, PML-N senator Javed Abbasi said that under the law it was mandatory for presiding officers to get signatures of polling agents of candidates when results of a polling station were tabulated on Forms 45.

    He, however, claimed that a majority of Forms 45 had no signatures of winners or their polling agents, leaving no doubt that polling results had been changed…”

    https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/erdogan-to-inaugurate-mosque-in-germany-on-saturday/1264064

    “President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will inaugurate in the German city of Cologne one of the largest mosques in Europe on Saturday.

    The Cologne Central Mosque, built by Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB) after eight years of construction work, has a capacity of 1,200 people.

    “It will be the most important and one of the largest mosques in Europe and Germany. It has a symbolic meaning for our Muslim brothers living here,” Nevzat Yasar Asikoglu, chairman of the DITIB, told reporters.

    “Our mosque also symbolizes peace, brotherhood as well as the culture of co-existence,” he said.

    Asikoglu said those who visit the mosque are impressed by interior adornment of the mosque in which Seljuk motif was predominantly used.

    The mosque has nine entrances and there is a crescent and a star in the middle of its dome.

    The 17,000 square-meter mosque complex also has a shopping center, an exhibition and a seminar hall, a 600-people capacity conference hall, a library, working offices and a car park on the ground floor.

    Germany, a country of over 81 million people, has the second-largest Muslim population in Western Europe after France.

    Among the country’s nearly 4.7 million Muslims, three million are of Turkish origin. Many of them are second or third-generations of Turkish families who migrated to Germany in the 1960s, and are said to be well integrated in the country.”

    “Turkish security forces have arrested more than 30,000 suspects in the past nine months for their links to PKK/KCK terror group and Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), the group behind the 2016 coup attempt, the Interior Ministry figures revealed.

    According to the ministry figures obtained by Anadolu Agency, the arrests of 30,433 people came during anti-terror operations conducted across the country from Jan. 1 to Sept. 23.

    In this period, 11,917 suspects, including foreigners, were arrested for their links to PKK/KCK terror group, while a total of 2,707 out of them were remanded into custody.

    In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU — has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people.

    As part of the FETO/Parallel State Structure (PDY) probe, 18,516 suspects were arrested in the same period and 3,380 out of them were jailed, according to the same data.

    According to the Turkish government, FETO and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016, which left 251 people martyred and nearly 2,200 injured.

    Ankara also accuses FETO of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.”
