Islamists already own the UK!-----If you need any more evidence that an Islamic blasphemy law has taken root in Britain, look no further than the case of Stephen Gray.
A former police officer who gave 30 years of public service had a knock at the door from the police after his neighbour reported him for reposting something on Facebook. - Connie Shaw
- In April, Stephen was convicted of being “grossly offensive” — an offence under the Communications Act 2003 — for reposting a joke about Islam.
“Fun facts about bacon! People who eat bacon have a lower chance of marrying a 9 year old!”
While giving evidence, Stephen explained that the post was a reference to the marriage between the Prophet Mohammed and Aisha, which occurred when she was six and was consummated when she was nine.
It was a satirical post, but also sought to make a serious point about child marriage.

'A long history of scandal': Soros DA Larry Krasner referred by judge for criminal investigation * WorldNetDaily * by WND Staff:
Billionaire influencer George Soros long has funded the political campaigns of leftist prosecutors, and in turn they've used their offices to pursue an agenda of leniency for criminals.
Now one is facing trouble for doing just that.
A report at the Federalist explains that Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner and a top deputy, Matthew Stielger, have been referred for criminal investigation by a federal judge.
The Democrats believe the unpopular war can at last halt Trump’s momentum and are already declaring it all but lost.
The Iranian theocracy agrees. - Victor Davis HansonIt will do its best to ratchet up tensions with a series of October surprises in hopes that Trump loses control of Congress...

But it is often forgotten that two other groups may also be gaming the midterms with October surprises of their own—and in quite different ways.
- If Iranian dissidents—35,000 of whom were killed by their own government in January—believe that a Democratic takeover of Congress would benefit the murderous regime they hate, then they may face very different deadlines and renewed incentives to resist. The embattled opposition, suffering existential food and energy shortages, might conclude that if the regime is tottering in October, this may be its last chance to overthrow it before Democrats restrain Trump and spare the hated mullahs.
- The same mindset might be embraced by some 10–15 million restive Iranian Kurds, who periodically resist the theocracy in Tehran. If they, too, believe that ascendant post-midterm Democrats might defund the current American strikes against the theocracy, or that Trump will eventually be pressured into ending American involvement, then they may see overthrowing the hated regime as a now-or-never proposition.
The key, instead, is the perception that it would...

It's all about tuition money!-----Yale University president Maurie McInnis released a report...that acknowledged the issues afflicting the Ivy League, from exploding tuition to runaway grade inflation and theatrically intolerant student activists.
Yale University president Maurie McInnis... - Washington Free Beacon | Facebook - Washington Free Beacon
- McInnis’s response to how Yale will tackle grade inflation was similarly dispiriting. While we might think it’s “easy to fix grade inflation,” she said, it actually requires “multiple institutions,” as well as “K-12,” because Yale students arrive on campus so fragile they are actually incapable of receiving anything but an A. Students “have never seen anything other than an A their entire lives, and it can be really challenging for the faculty who are the first trying to give that student that grade that is not an A,” she said. Maybe it’s time for a committee on faculty fragility?
- Were Yale to implement an honest grading regime, she added, “What you would hear from the students are [sic] ‘Well then, you’re putting me at a disadvantage when I apply to medical school...
Don’t worry, though, there is a committee, and “we will see what comes out of this committee.”
'Crescent lights on city light poles': Lawsuit accuses Dearborn officials of favoring Islam above other faiths * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
'Crescent lights on city light poles': Lawsuit accuses Dearborn officials of favoring Islam above other faiths * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
The complaint even notes federal courts "have recognized a pattern of Dearborn preferencing Islam over other religions, in violation of U.S. law. In 2011, the 6th Circuit ruled that Dearborn violated free speech and religious exercise by banning a pastor from sharing Christian pamphlets at the city's Arab festival. In 2013, the city paid $300,000 to resolve similar claims after police arrested Christians for talking about Jesus at the same festival. In 2015, the 6th Circuit again ruled that local government had unlawfully removed Christians from preaching to a 'hostile' crowd at the Arab festival, violating their freedom of speech. In that case the surrounding county paid $200,000 in attorneys' fees to AFLC for enforcing what the en banc court judged was an impermissible heckler's veto," the report said.
