Donald Trump’s Refugee Executive Order: No Muslim Ban -- Separating Fact from Hysteria | National Review
Donald Trump’s Refugee Executive Order: No Muslim Ban -- Separating Fact from Hysteria | National Review:
"Religious considerations are by law part of refugee policy. And it is entirely reasonable to give preference (though not exclusivity) to members of minority religions.
Finally, you can read the entire executive order from start to finish, reread it, then read it again, and you will not find a Muslim ban. It’s not there. Nowhere. At its most draconian, it temporarily halts entry from jihadist regions. In other words, Trump’s executive order is a dramatic climb-down from his worst campaign rhetoric."

Crimes against Humanity: "Normal" Treatment of Middle Eastern Women
Crimes against Humanity: "Normal" Treatment of Middle Eastern Women
- Mullahs seem to prefer protecting inhuman laws to protecting humans.
- Most full coverings for women are black, which absorbs heat, and are made not of cotton but of non-porous cloth - in the scorching heat.
- In a province of Indonesia, Aceh, a woman, accused of being intimate with her boyfriend is caned, in front of a jeering crowd. Later, a photograph of the screaming woman is published as a token of pride for the men who had just exacted this "justice" -- on her; no consequence for the boyfriend. It was a lesson to remind women to submit to their place in society.
- Turkey last year presented a bill for tackling its widespread child-marriage issue: the Turkish government introduced a bill that pardons a rapist if he marries his victim. The victim is not consulted.
All forms of exploiting women are presented as divine law, sharia, in which women have no say, which they are unable to use in their own defence, and which they are forced to accept as their fate.
- These are countries where men are not only permitted, but invited, to consider woman a pet -- to be killed, burned with acid, benzene or a weapon of choice supposedly to preserve a family's "honour".
- These laws, put in place by the governments and the clergy, provide a safe escape for criminals, such as those who kill their women and claim it is in the name of "honour".
- The deeper horror is that all these abuses -- child marriage, confinement, FGM, rape, torture, and legal discrimination -- have accomplices. These enablers are often well-meaning people from the West, "multiculturalists" who are reluctant to pass judgement on other people's customs no matter how brutal they might be.
- Sadly, they are unable to see that they are actually part of the huge jihadi radicalization machine working under the very nose of even governments in the West.
- As the British in India effectively got rid the people of the cultural practice of suttee, in which Hindu widows were required to throw themselves on their husband's funeral pyre, if people would really like to do "good", they will please help to stop similar crushing practices.
Fake news: CNN omits refugee's Trump praise
Fake news: CNN omits refugee's Trump praise - The American MirrorThe American Mirror:
"Refugees say the darndest things.
"Refugees say the darndest things.
The mainstream media had their Donald Trump victim in the flesh when Hameed Khalid Darweesh was detained at JFK airport in New York on Saturday.
Darweesh was held after President Trump issued an executive order curtailing the acceptance of refugees from Syria and other jihadi-infected areas.
He appeared before cameras outside the airport after his release.
After he heaped praise on America, a reporter shouted, “What do you think of Donald Trump?”
“I like him,” Darweesh responded, as a look of shock came over the faces of Congressmembers Nydia Velazquez and Jerrold Nadler, before adding, “but I don’t know, this is a policy, I don’t know, he’s a president and I’m a normal person.”
Nadler chuckled while Velazquez just stared at the ground.
But here’s a portion CNN’s website story, which left out Darweesh’s narrative-busting praise for Trump:
According to court papers, both Darweesh and Alshawi were legally allowed to come into the US but were detained in accordance with Trump’s order.
Darweesh, who worked as an interpreter for the US during the Iraq War, was released from detention early Saturday afternoon.
“America is the land of freedom,” he told reporters at the airport shortly after his release. “America is the greatest nation.”
A source with knowledge of the case confirmed Darweesh will be allowed into the US due to provisions in Trump’s order that allow the State and Homeland Security departments to admit individuals into the US on a case-by-case base for certain reasons, including when the person is already in transit and it would cause undue hardship and would not pose a threat to the security of the US.
The suit said Darweesh held a special immigrant visa, which he was granted the day of Trump’s inauguration on January 20, due to his work for the US government from 2003 to 2013.
Why would CNN quote Darweesh’s praise for America, but not Trump?
You know why…

Peer-Reviewed Survey Finds Majority Of Scientists Skeptical Of Global Warming Crisis
Peer-Reviewed Survey Finds Majority Of Scientists Skeptical Of Global Warming Crisis:"It is becoming clear that not only do many scientists dispute the asserted global warming crisis, but these skeptical scientists may indeed form a scientific consensus.
Don’t look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all.
Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies.
By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem..."
Why Do Democrats Fear Trump’s Probe of “Fake” Voter Fraud? - Deroy Murdock
Why Do Democrats Fear Trump’s Probe of “Fake” Voter Fraud? - Deroy Murdock:
"This impending probe follows Trump’s private remarks to congressional leaders Monday night that some 3 to 5 million illegal ballots cost him the popular vote last November 8.
Democrats, in response, are foaming at their mouths, although one wonders if they have any foam left. How odd. They should welcome this examination. If voter fraud really is a fevered, baseless, Right-wing fantasy, as they reliably insist, this investigation will vindicate them and make Trump look like a cranky, paranoid conspiracist. Liberals should smile and egg Trump on."

The Final Obama Scandal
The Final Obama Scandal | The Weekly Standard:
"Less than 24 hours before the official end of the Obama presidency, while White House staffers were pulling pictures off the walls and cleaning out their desks, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) posted without fanfare another installment of the documents captured in Osama bin Laden’s compound during the May 2011 raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
The press statement that accompanied the release made an unexpected declaration:
This batch of newly released documents would be the last one.
"Closing the Book on Bin Laden: Intelligence Community Releases the Final Abbottabad Documents," the statement was headlined.
According to a tally on the ODNI website, this last batch of 49 documents brings the total number released to 571.
For analysts who have paid attention to the Abbottabad documents, the numbers immediately caused alarm.
For years, the Obama administration told the American people that the haul from the bin Laden compound was massive and important.
In an interview on Meet the Press just days after the raid, Barack Obama's national security adviser, Thomas Donilon, said the material could fill "a small college library."
A senior military intelligence official who briefed reporters at the Pentagon on May 7, 2011, said: "As a result of the raid, we've acquired the single largest collection of senior terrorist materials ever."
Sources who have described the cache to THE WEEKLY STANDARD over the years have claimed that the number of captured documents, including even extraneous materials and duplicates, totals more than 1 million.
Can it really be the case that this release "closes the book"?
The short answer: No, it can't.
"[Director of National Intelligence James] Clapper and the old administration may want this to be closed, but it's far from closed," says Representative Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).
"Now the truth will begin to come out. It's just the beginning."
The documents have been at the center of an intense, five-year political battle between Republicans on Capitol Hill and the Obama administration, and an equally pitched bureaucratic battle between the Central Intelligence Agency and ODNI on one side, and U.S. military intelligence agencies on the other..."

REMINDER: Trump Didn't Choose The 'Muslim Ban' Nations, The Obama Administration Did | The Sean Hannity Show
REMINDER: Trump Didn't Choose The 'Muslim Ban' Nations, The Obama Administration Did | The Sean Hannity Show:
"Earlier this week, left-wing outlets reported the restricted nations do not include those in which the Trump organization has ties, implying that countries like Saudi Arabia were omitted due to their business dealings with Trump. There's just one problem with this line of reasoning: the Trump Administration did not choose which countries would be restricted.
As a matter of fact, if you read the executive order, the only nation mentioned by name is Syria. All nations affected by the executive order are referred to as "countries of concern", a list of six nations named in a 2016 law signed by President Obama concerning immigration Visas."

Carbon what?
Dear Sir, there is still much pressure on our politicians to reduce the amount of our CO2 emissions and so avoid catastrophic global warming.
Looking at satellite pictures on the internet, I note Arctic and Antarctic ice has increased from 2012 to 2017.
The records show CO2 in air has also increased in that time.
Sea level rise is still negligible and consistent with historical trends so I doubt the science that claims that our CO2 is a problem.
It does not seem smart for the Western World’s governments to be throwing billions of dollars each day at CO2 reduction schemes while they are so short of money.
To quote Jo Nova on page 155 of the book Climate Change the Facts 2014: “a trillion dollar industry is based entirely on a guess made in 1896 about relative humidity, and that guess appears to be wrong.”
This industry being the total of the excessively subsidised so called “green” power generation world wide.

Final Tally: Obama's Subpar Economy Cost Americans $2.4 Trillion
Final Tally: Obama's Subpar Economy Cost Americans $2.4 Trillion | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Economics: The GDP report for the fourth quarter last year was a fitting end to President Obama's time in office. At a tepid 1.9% growth, it means that the economy once again underperformed everyone's expectations.
The latest numbers mean that Obama's economic forecasters missed their growth targets every year that he was in office. And, once again, economists who had been promising that strong growth was just around the corner — most recently because of a relatively strong third quarter — had to eat crow.
"Economics: The GDP report for the fourth quarter last year was a fitting end to President Obama's time in office. At a tepid 1.9% growth, it means that the economy once again underperformed everyone's expectations.
As late as June 2016, the Obama administration was forecasting that real GDP would climb 2.2% for the year. Actual growth for 2016 was 1.6%, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Look What Trump Has Planned For Syrian Refugees... It's Brilliant | The Federalist Papers:
"President Trump received a lot of criticism from both sides of the aisle regarding his plans to deal with the Muslim immigration crisis. The media seemed confused, with some sites saying that he’s calling for a total ban of Muslim travel to the United States. Others reported it as a “temporary ban” and many said that immigrants and travelers from only certain countries will have to undergo “extreme vetting.”
Well now you don’t have to trust the political pundits and know-it-all talking heads on television, because Trump has decided exactly what he’s going to do to keep America as safe as possible."

Trump to publicize crimes by illegal immigrants in ‘sanctuary cities’
Trump to publicize crimes by illegal immigrants in ‘sanctuary cities’ | New York Post:
"President Trump plans to publish a weekly list of crimes committed by illegal immigrants in the Big Apple and all other sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
The list will inform citizens and others about “public safety threats associated with sanctuary” cities, according to an executive order Trump signed Wednesday.
“The [Homeland Security] Secretary shall utilize the Declined Detainer Outcome Report or its equivalent and, on a weekly basis, make public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens,” the order said.
Mayor de Blasio said that New York — one of about 300 sanctuary cities across the US — would not change it’s policy in the face of Trump’s threat to withhold federal funding from cities that do not play ball with his order.
The NYPD said Wednesday the city has a list of roughly 170 criminal offenses that are not covered by the sanctuary policy, and that the department notifies the feds when illegal immigrants are charged with those crimes.
The list includes serious crimes such as felony assault, rape, murder and terrorism as well as gun smuggling and witness tampering."

"Naturally the Democrats who called for investigation when they thought Russia’s Putin stole the election for Pres. Trump had a cow.
