  1. WALSH: There Is Good Reason To Doubt That A Conservative Was Behind The Mail Bombs. Here’s Why.

    In the last two days, a series of crude pipe bombs have been mailed to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, George Soros, Maxine Waters, and CNN. We are meant to immediately assume that a crazed right-winger was behind this absurdly clumsy plot. Twitter has already dubbed the culprit “the MAGA bomber,” despite zero evidence to support the label. Various liberals have, of course, put the blame on President Trump himself.

    I think we can pretty well rule out the possibility that Trump sent the bombs. As for the theory — and it is just a theory — that an enraged Republican is responsible, we cannot rule it out. It’s certainly possible that some right-wing nut decided to undermine his own cause by staging this failed attack a few weeks before the election. If that turns out to be the case, I won’t be terribly shocked. Crazy, stupid, violent people exist in this world, on every side of every issue.

  2. Satan-Worshiping Girls Planned To Kill Classmates, Drink Their Blood

    Florida law enforcement officials said on Wednesday that they foiled a plot by two Satan-worshipping middle school girls this week who planned to kill over a dozen smaller children, eat their flesh, and then drink their blood.

    The 6th and 7th-grade girls, ages 11 and 12 respectively, were arrested at Bartow Middle School on Tuesday after they brought weapons to the school and admitted to plotting the attack. ABC Action News reports:

  3. Britain’s Grooming Gangs: Part 3

    Not all Muslims remained silent about the grooming gang problem. We have already seen how the new Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, a Muslim of Pakistani origin, took rapid action to open an enquiry into the crimes. A number of Muslim organizations and individuals have spoken out against the gangs, and condemned them for bringing their faith into disrepute. The integrative Islamic Society of Britain (ISB), for one, has spoken out strongly about grooming culture.

    In May 2013, Julie Siddiqi, chief executive of the ISB, coordinated a Muslim-led coalition to campaign against offenders, known as The Community Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation, which, in turn, was launched in Bradford with the backing of the Bradford Council of Mosques. The following month, a Muslim group called Together Against Grooming (TAG) declared that a Friday prayer sermon (khutba) would be read out in around 500 mosques across the country to draw attention to the grooming issue. The sermon was written by Alyas Karmani, an imam who has a background in psychology and serves at several mosques around Bradford. Karmani specializes in sexual counselling from a non-fundamentalist perspective and has worked on a PhD entitled, “The Crises of Masculinity and Urban Male Violence”. His detailed understanding of the grooming gangs and their various motivations are perhaps the most sophisticated yet advanced by a Muslim expert and should be taken into account by any present or future investigation.

  6. The United Nation’s Refugee Agency (UNHRC) has 45 people on the ground in Mexico helping the more than 7,000 people who are marching from Central America to the United States border with Mexico.
    The Mexico News Daily reported on Tuesday:

    UNHCR spokesperson Adrian Edwards told a press conference in Geneva, Switzerland today that “in any situation like this it is essential that people have the chance to request asylum and have their international protection needs properly assessed, before any decision on return/deportation is made.”

    The Mexican government initially warned people coming into Mexico illegally, mostly from Honduras, that they would be detained and deported.

    “However, after attempts to prevent the caravan from entering Mexico on Sunday proved futile, the migrants have walked and/or traveled on the back of trucks or in other vehicles through Chiapas unimpeded,” the news outlet repeated.

    The news outlet reported that the Mexican government invited the agency to help, even though most of the migrants don’t have visas and haven’t formally requested asylum with the National Immigration Institute (INM).

    “Of concern to UNHCR at present is the developing humanitarian situation and the known kidnapping and security risks in areas the caravan may venture into. Stabilizing the situation has become urgent,” Edwards said in the Mexico Daily News article. “It is essential that there are proper reception and other conditions for those seeking asylum as well as for others on the move.”

      Thousands of Central American migrants paused in the municipality of Pijijiapan, in the Mexican state of Chiapas on Thursday, during their journey to the United States border.

      Migrants were supported by civil, religious and government organisations that offered medical care in order to calm their ailments and injuries such as blisters.

      The migrant caravan, mostly from Honduras, arrived on Mexico’s southern border on Friday, fleeing poverty and violence.

  7. New York Times publishes fictional story on Trump assassination

    The New York Times published a fictional story about President Trump’s assassination a day before several top Democrats were sent explosive devices in the mail.

    The New York Times said it asked five novelists to “conjure possible outcomes” of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

    Zoe Sharp’s fictional piece, “ How it Ends,” told the story of a Russian assassin shooting Trump with the help of a Secret Service agent.

    Another character in the story who is working with the Russian assassin says Trump “must be silenced” because the Russians do not want it getting out that Trump “was handpicked at the highest possible level.”

  9. Only the Left Can Stop Political Violence in America
    The Left unleashed it, the Left must stop it.
    October 25, 2018
    Daniel Greenfield

    On September 9, Rudy Peters, the Republican running for Congress in the 15th District in California, was attacked by a knife-wielding man shouting, “F___ Trump”.

    The attacker, Farzad Fazeli, an Iranian Clinton supporter, had previously posted, “Don Trump won’t clean his own house, so he’s too dirty to know right from wrong. Impeach/incarcerate him before more children die. P.S. complacency is worse than being the shooter.”

    Next month, Shane Mekeland, a Republican running for the Minnesota House of Representatives, suffered a concussion after being punched in the face at a restaurant. “You f____g people don’t give a s___ about the middle class,” his assailant had shouted at him.

    Mekeland is back on the campaign trail, while still recovering from the assault. “The media and the likes of Maxine Waters, Hillary, and Eric Holder as of late is driving this behavior,” he warned.

    “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, at a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Rep. Maxine Waters had urged an angry leftist mob.

    Eric Holder, Obama’s attorney general and a possible 2020 candidate, had urged, “When they go low, we kick them.” He had tweeted at Democrats, urging them to, “Use the rage.”

  10. The Threats Posed by the Impending Invasion
    All Americans need to wake up and pay attention.
    October 25, 2018
    Michael Cutler

    As I have been watching with growing concern the rapidly increasing numbers of aspiring illegal aliens in Latin America who are heading north towards the United States, I came to draw the comparison that the aerial videos of these huge numbers of people, at least from high overhead, appear somewhat like the images of the runners participating in the New York City Marathon.

    That analogy caused me to think back to March 20, 2013, during the Obama administration, when I testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the topic, “Building An Immigration System Worthy Of American Values.”

    The last two paragraphs of my prepared testimony for that hearing more than five years ago now seem all the more appropriate if not, in fact, prophetic:

    • The Impending Alien Invasion
      How the Left plays the “compassion card” for destructive ends.
      October 23, 2018
      Michael Cutler

      https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/271692/impending-alien-invasion-michael-cutler

      Headlines have been written proclaiming that a “caravan of migrants” is heading for the U.S./Mexican border. Sometimes the people who are heading north through Central America are referred to as “refugees” or “immigrants.”

      Those terms are designed to downplay the threat that these individuals pose and assuage the fears that this may understandably engender in Americans. Words do matter.

      In point of fact, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) defines an alien simply as being, “Any person, not a citizen or national of the United States.”

      There is no insult in the term “alien” or in its definition, but there is clarity. The obvious goal of the radical Left is to obfuscate the truth through Orwellian use of language that has been mis-portrayed as “political correctness.”

      Shortly after President Trump was elected I wrote about this intentional misuse of language in my article, The Left’s Orwellian Tactics.

      Remarkably, the radical Left had no problem using the term “alien” when they needed a word that began with the letter “A” for the DREAM Act, an acronym for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors.

      While we are on the topic of words, perhaps the term “invasion” should be substituted for “caravan.”

      Invasion is defined, in part, as an incursion by a large number of people or things into a place or sphere of activity or an unwelcome intrusion into another’s domain.

    • … I came to draw the comparison that the aerial videos of these huge numbers of people, at least from high overhead, appear somewhat like the images of the runners participating in the New York City Marathon.

      So, where’re the popping pressure cookers? Oops, that was Boston.

      Also, it’s impossible to convince me that the coyotes and their narco-warlord bosses all simply rolled over and played dead because their government slaves begged them to. You know, “Plato o plomo.“, and all that unpleasantness.

      First thing, the losses represented by this “unregulated traffic” are somewhere in the several millions of dollars.

      Secondly, if the “caravan” invasion actually works (perish the thought), then mass cross-border movements might be less well-enforced and not require the “security measures” that coyotes provide.

      Thirdly—since it’s less likely than metallic hydrogen that ‘the coyotes and their narco-warlord bosses all simply rolled over and played dead’— this can only be defined as one of the Seven Signs of the Apocalypse (or, qui bono?).

      Making this Election Day Parade happen required lotsa semollions changing hands in some dark, smoke-filled rooms. As is so often the case with idealists, “Everything looks better on paper than it is in real life.” So it was in herding these cats organizing this little ambulatory donnybrook. It just looks like their ETD calculations were a bit off.

      Never was it so important to, “Follow the money.”

    Mr. Giuliani also said he spoke with Manafort attorney Kevin Downing as recently as last week.

  14. Anniversary of a Shameful U.S. Surrender—the Cuban Missile Crisis
    How JFK pulled defeat from the jaws of victory.
    October 25, 2018
    Humberto Fontova

    Those who think “Fake News” started with Trump’s term and the media’s “slobbering love affair” with a U.S. president started during Obama’s should have seen John F. Kennedy’s term.

    Imagine Obama’s term with no Fox News, internet or talk radio. That’s about what JFK enjoyed. And tragically, the fairy tales Kennedy’s court scribes (with their media cohorts of the time) concocted about JFK’s Pattonesque handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis prevail in media/academic circles even today.

    In fact, that Khrushchev swept the floor with cowed Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis was mainstream conservative conclusion throughout much of the Cold War. Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater, for instance, represented opposite poles of the Republican establishment of their time.

    “We locked Castro’s communism into Latin America and threw away the key to its removal,” growled Barry Goldwater about the JFK’s Missile Crisis “solution.”

    “Kennedy pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory,” complained Richard Nixon. “Then gave the Soviets squatters rights in our backyard.”

  15. When I First Realized America Is Exceptional
    Leftist lies and identity politics.
    October 25, 2018
    Dennis Prager

    I moved to California from New York City in 1976. The founder of what was then America’s largest Jewish retreat center, the Brandeis Institute (not affiliated with the university), Dr. Shlomo Bardin, asked me to work as his assistant. He was 75 years-old; I was 25. One weekend the next year, he announced to the membership he wanted me to succeed him. To everyone’s shock, he died that very week. It was then renamed the Brandeis-Bardin Institute.

    The institute was located in Simi Valley, California, then more a small town than even a small city. It had all of two restaurants. I lived there for three years and joined the Simi Valley Rotary Club.

    To the best of my memory, I was the only Jew in that Rotary chapter. What struck me was that my being a Jew meant essentially nothing to the other members. No one cared. Not even a little.

    If you are an American, my reaction makes little sense. You are wondering why it struck me that my being a Jew meant nothing to the entire membership.

    The reason was I knew Jewish history. Prior to moving to California, I taught Jewish history at Brooklyn College. Nowhere in the Jews’ 3,000 years as a people living in non-Jewish societies did being a Jew ever mean nothing to the non-Jews among whom they lived.

    Even in 1976.

    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2018/10/25/syrian-general-asylum-austria-investigated-war-crime-allegations/

    “A Syrian general who worked for the country’s intelligence service and was granted asylum by Austria during the height of the migrant crisis is now being investigated over allegations of war crimes.

    The former military intelligence officer, identified as Khalid H., came to Austria and was granted asylum in 2015 but the claims of his involvement in torture have put into question Austria’s asylum vetting process, Kronen Zeitung reports.

    The revelations have led to two individuals, one from the domestic intelligence service, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BVT), and another from the Austrian Asylum Agency (BFA), to be investigated for potential abuse of office.

    Initially, the former Syrian general had applied for asylum in France before coming to Austria. According to investigators, the Austrians did not attempt to contact their French counterparts and are accused of not investigating any potential torture allegations during the asylum procedure.

    It only took six months for Khalid H.’s asylum application to be approved by Austrian authorities, while in France his application was rejected in 2017 and resulted in an investigation into his connections to war crimes and genocide. Austrian authorities were made aware of the investigation after a Europol investigated was launched earlier this year.

    The case is not the first time a war criminal from the Syrian conflict has been found living as an asylum seeker in Europe. Last year, German authorities said that had been tipped off to the presence of 330 known war criminals posing as asylum seekers since the height of the migrant crisis in 2015 from Syria or Iraq.

    Earlier in 2018 in Sweden, the migration board reported that the number of war criminals discovered among asylum seekers had doubled in the last two years.”

  23. Germany: ‘Without Europe, there is no peace’ – Merkel

    German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for ‘a strong Europe’, while speaking at a campaign event ahead of state elections, in the city of Fulda in Hesse on Thursday.

    “Germany needs to advocate for a strong Europe, the European Union is our guarantee for peace.”, Merkel stated, adding that “without Europe there is no peace.”

    The chancellor is expected to meet her Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Russian President Vladimir Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron in Istanbul on Saturday, to further discuss Syria issues.

    Elections are scheduled to take place on October 28 in Hesse and opinion polls currently indicate that Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party could be facing yet another poor result. The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), the other party in Merkel’s grand coalition, also look set to perform badly. The Green party, which governs Hesse in coalition with the CDU, is expected to almost double its share of the vote, while the far-right AfD party will most likely enter the state parliament for the first time.

    Senior Airman Brian Kolfage lost both legs and most of one arm fighting for our country and defending our rights in Iraq. He put his life on the line for our freedom that’s since been stolen from him, along with his livelihood from Facebook.

    Kolfage had an audience on Facebook of approximately 10 million fans and owns the conservative news site Right Wing News that went along with his social network. Right Wing News has been in business for approximately 17 years, without issue, and was even awarded with the coveted “blue check” verification of authenticity on Facebook. However, his audience he had built and paid at least $300,000 for in Facebook ads, was gone within a couple of minutes.

    On Thursday, October 11, the social media giant “purged” nearly 600 pages and approximately 200 personal accounts associated with those pages, one month before the critical midterm elections. Kolfage’s impressive audience was the majority of the monopoly’s melee for a single business on the platform.

    Facebook didn’t stop with silencing his voice, eliminating income for him and all of his employees, and taking his money and running without saying a word. The platform also took his non-political page, Military Grade Coffee, and all 200,000+ customers with it, for no reason other than being owned by Kolfage. This was a direct hit on his primary income that could be hard for him to recover from after being the most injured hero in the Air Force to survive.

    Sanchez said he went to the gift shop to purchase a bear for his 3-year-old daughter who was supposed to be released from the hospital at 10:00 a.m. He said he had a bear, candy, and told the cashier he was ready to pay, but they refused to sell anything to him. He said he then went back to the room to wait for his daughter to be released.

    About a half hour later he said the SWAT team came in and ordered him out of the room with his hands in the air; his child crying as they took him into custody.

  26. Universities in the UK which benefited in previous centuries from the slave trade should contribute to a £100m fund to support ethnic minority students, says a university leader.

    Geoff Thompson, chair of governors of the University of East London, says it would be “ethical and right” for universities to contribute.

    He says it would help young people who otherwise could not afford to graduate.

    Last month, Glasgow University revealed it had received slave-related funding.

    Glasgow University discovered that up to £198m in today’s value had been donated in the 19th Century by people who had profited from the slave trade.

    In response it announced a “reparative justice programme”, including creating a centre for the study of slavery and a memorial to the enslaved.

    • I wonder whether every Brit whose forebears were kidnapped and forced into naval servitude by the press gang system can also sue for millions in reparations?!

      • Birmingham was the center of white slavery in Great Britain…how about reparations to all us whites?

  28. As the US Cuts Funding, UNRWA Employees Flee Gaza

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: It does not matter that UNRWA employees would never dream of breaking the code of silence regarding Hamas’s use of UNRWA facilities or UNRWA’s hiring of terrorists. They were forced to flee for their lives anyway for the cardinal sin of having failed to keep American money coming in.

    Several weeks ago, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) evacuated at least 10 international senior officials from the Gaza Strip. The reason? These top staffers had received death threats following the announcement of budget cuts and planned layoffs by the agency.

    This is all because the US decided not to renew the organization’s funding. The Trump administration may have been emboldened to do this by the Taylor Force Act’s prohibition on funding organizations that abet terrorism.

    UNRWA confirmed later that it had “decided to temporarily withdraw part of its international staff from Gaza following a series of worrying security incidents affecting its personnel in the Strip.”

  29. MEXICO—A migrant caravan full of leftists desiring to enter the socialist paradise of Venezuela departed the United States Thursday and began marching toward through Mexico, stating they will demand asylum so they might experience the far better life that socialism offers.

    The migrants claim they are leaving America because of its high standards of living, strong economy, and record unemployment, and hope to find a better life in Venezuela’s much more equitable system.

    “Everyone there has the same quantity of possessions and food,” said one marcher. “Everyone makes millions of dollars, and very few people work. It’s a real paradise.” The refugees have complex motivations, but the vast majority simply want to see everything socialism has to offer after suffering the amazing benefits of capitalism for too long.

  30. JEFFERSONTOWN, Ky. (AP) — A white man with a history of violence fatally shot two African-American customers at a Kroger grocery store and was swiftly arrested as he tried to flee, authorities said Thursday.

    The Courier Journal of Louisville reported that the suspect made a racial comment to a man he encountered on his way out.

    The FBI announced that it “is evaluating the evidence to determine if there were any violations of federal law.”

    An arrest report says Gregory Alan Bush walked into the store outside Louisville, pulled a gun from his waist and shot a man in the back of the head, then kept shooting him multiple times “as he was down on the floor.” The report says Bush then reholstered his gun, walked outside and killed a woman in the parking lot.

  31. Limoges (France) (AFP) – The father of two boys, aged three and four, has been jailed in France for feeding them nearly exclusively on Coca-Cola, the children’s lawyer said.

    The father, who can “neither read, nor write, nor count, doesn’t realise the seriousness of the situation and spent all his welfare money on alcohol,” Carole Papon, a representative of the association French Victims 87, said Wednesday.

    Within a few days of welfare payments being made “the family had nothing to eat. They only had Coca-Cola to drink,” she said.

    Texas voters: Take your time when casting ballots.

    This advice comes as state election officials receive complaints across the state from early voters casting straight tickets on Hart eSlate machines who believe the machines changed their votes.

    Two complaints, reported through a third party, have been made in Tarrant County, said Heider Garcia, elections administrator.

    “We have … tested everything,” he said. “We don’t have any indication that there’s a technical issue.”

    The Texas Secretary of State’s Office has issued a statement about the issue.

    “As a reminder, voters should always carefully check their review screen before casting their ballots,” states the advisory issued by Keith Ingram, director of elections with the Texas Secretary of State’s office. “If a voter has any problems, they should notify a poll worker immediately so the issues can be addressed and reported.”

    Judicial Watch has obtained exclusive information and photos from Guatemalan authorities revealing that they have recovered seven unaccompanied minors from human smugglers working inside the caravan. The children have been taken into custody and they are being provided with food, water and medical attention, according to a high-level Guatemalan government official. The smugglers have been arrested and the broader investigation into criminal activity in the caravan is ongoing.

    A Judicial Watch team, headed by Director of Investigations Chris Farrell, spent several days on the Guatemala-Honduras border covering the illegal alien caravan, which originated in the northern Honduran city of San Pedro Sula. The team filed a number of exclusive reports and videos and met with Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales and other top government officials.

    “Judicial Watch has been at the forefront of this top news story, reporting exclusive information from inside that no other news organization is reporting,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Chris Farrell and Irene Garcia put themselves in harm’s way to get this material, and Judicial Watch supporters nationwide are highly grateful for their sacrifices.”
