"The holdover official responsible for implementing former President Barack Obama’s failed “Countering Violent Extremism” policy at the Department of Homeland Security finally resigned just before DHS Secretary John Kelly departed for the White House.
George Selim headed the now-defunct CVE program which tried to offer federal support and legal autonomy to Islamic political groups if they redirected Islamic immigrants and youths away from Islamic militancy and jihad. His resignation spotlighted Kelly’s decision to replace Obama’s failed policy with more direct government involvement in Islamic communities. Kelly may use his new White House job to make his anti-jihad strategy a government-wide policy."
...Not far from the Hanseatic town of Greifswald — an area Merkel represents in parliament — the chancellor wants a $10 billion pipeline expansion built to increase the amount of Russian natural gas imported from Siberia, more than 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) away.

The project, led by Russia’s state-run Gazprom PJSC, is intended to bolster German confidence that it has enough gas to underpin an unprecedented transition from the coal and nuclear plants, which are being closed, to a future dominated by renewable energy. ...European allies have also objected — worried that the project will deepen Europe’s reliance on supplies from an increasingly antagonistic Russia — and U.S. lawmakers have proposed stiffer sanctions on energy companies that do business with Russia. ...Already Europe’s biggest gas user, Germany gets about 40 percent of what it consumes from Russia... ...“We need gas supplies when coal isn’t used anymore,” said Klaus-Peter Trapp, a 57 year-old cabinet maker from Greifswald. “This can have consequences if Russia and Germany don’t get along well anymore.”
Steve Russo - I saw this Ad (on the left) at a bus stop in front... "I saw this Ad (on the left) at a bus stop in front of the 7-11 I hit every morning in North Hollywood from the tax payer subsidized Ad Council. Yes, that's reality. A Saudi raising an American flag, on his front lawn in Mayberry USA. Yes, that's something we all see everyday. The truth is, if a Saudi is living in America, he won't be raising an American flag, he would be raising a Saudi flag. And his daughter would be wearing a burqa because exposing her skin in public, while shaking her hips with a Hula Hoop, would be a disgrace to her family and could get her honor killed. So I fixed the picture (see the one on the right) for the Ad Council. I won't charge you for it. After all, the goal of the Ad Council (besides pushing an overwhelming amount of leftist causes) is... "The Ad Council endeavors to improve the lives of all Americans through public service advertising..." And what better way to inform and improve the lives of all Americans by showing the public of how Islam could get you killed and how Islam doesn't recognize American laws or our flag or heritage.
...In a new Procter & Gamble ad called “The Talk,” ominous music and fearful black mothers warn their kids about the evils that await them OUT THERE, from racial epithets to the institutional “privilege” of white people.
One mom kvetches to her daughter that she needs to “work twice as hard and be twice as smart” whereas another darkly says, “when you get pulled over (by police), it’s not about you getting a ticket, this is about you not coming home.”
You know, because black lives matter, at least when it comes to blood-thirsty cops.
The two-minute anti-white, cop-hating screed ends with a scrolling text:
“Let’s all talk about ‘the talk.’ So we can end the need to have it. P&G: My black is beautiful. It’s time for everyone to #talkaboutbias.
In a crass marketing ploy to grab “buzz” and make Bounty great again, P&G has kicked Mr. Whipple to the curb and with him millions of Americans who want nothing more than squeezably soft toilet paper. That the company has chosen to slander their customers based on their race and profession is a load of crap that even Charmin can’t clean up." Read it all!
"Now it looks as though YouTube, which is owned by Google, will also look to rig its search results, leaving free speech advocates concerned over the reality-shaping leftist scam completely inundating the internet as we know it.
“According to a post on YouTube’s official blog, videos will now be subject to the rule of the mob. If enough users flag a video as ‘hate speech’ or ‘violent extremism,’ YouTube may impose restrictions on the content even if it breaks none of the platform’s rules."
Inconvenient Lie Introduction:
"Global warming is one of the most heated debates of our time, because it involves government policy that will profoundly affect our lives forever more.
The political, economic, and social consequences of being wrong are grim beyond words.
You have heard from many sources that global warming is real and that only crackpots think otherwise. Now it is time to hear the other side."

A
liberal asked, “What is with Trump and his bans? Now he doesn’t
want transgenders in the military?” There are two very important
issues in this question with consequences that could easily affect
several generations.
If
we want to remain free and independent, we have to protect our
borders, keeping individuals out who seek to destroy our country. We
also have to employ the best individuals to do this job. Anyone
struggling between boots or heels should be excluded from the
military.
Islam
promotes conquest, enslavement and death. There is sheer hatred for
Christians, Jews, women, homosexuals, anyone that doesn't agree with
them, freedom in general and the United States as a whole.
Individuals need to be vetted, scrutinized, before they are allowed
into our home. Take a look at your family. Are there any females,
homosexuals, transgenders or individuals who like to speak their
minds in your family unit? Take a look at Islam and Sharia Law.
Understand that you are welcoming death and destruction into our
country and into your personal life. Knowing the truth is vital to
our survival.
The
hatred being launched at our president for protecting our country is
unreal.......
