America’s Newest Muslim Martyr is a Child Rapist and Killer | Frontpage Mag
America’s Newest Muslim Martyr is a Child Rapist and Killer | Frontpage Mag:- Linda Sarsour raises money for a monster.
"The road to the Supreme Court for the country’s newest Muslim martyr began with an Alabama tractor.
It was a long way from County Road 62 in Alabama to One First Street, NE, in Washington, DC.
And it all began in the summer of ’95 when a Selma mom gave her daughter $6 and never saw her again.
It was a long way from County Road 62 in Alabama to One First Street, NE, in Washington, DC.
And it all began in the summer of ’95 when a Selma mom gave her daughter $6 and never saw her again.
While the frantic mother tried to find out what happened to her daughter, Domineque Hakim Marcelle Ray promised to help.
He offered to put up fliers for the missing 15-year-old girl and put out a reward.
Hakim kept on checking with Tiffany’s mother to learn if any clues had turned up in her disappearance.

Hakim kept on checking with Tiffany’s mother to learn if any clues had turned up in her disappearance.
Hakim had a very good reason for his helpfulness.
On the evening of July 15, as her mother was getting ready to head home, Hakim and one of his friends picked up Tiffany Harville.
Hakim drove her out near Highway 41, and raped her while she pleaded, “God, God, help me.
Please help me, God.”
Please help me, God.”
When Tiffany threatened to tell her mother what he had done, he slashed her throat.
Hakim then made off with her purse and the $6 her mother gave her.
Then, with her daughter’s blood on his hands, he showed up to tell her mother how much he cared and offered to put up fliers.

...At the last minute, Hakim wanted his Imam with him in the death chamber.
Yusef Maisonet, the imam of Masjid As Salaam, was not familiar with the safety protocols of the death penalty process, and was not allowed to be in the actual chamber.
Yusef Maisonet, the imam of Masjid As Salaam, was not familiar with the safety protocols of the death penalty process, and was not allowed to be in the actual chamber.
The case went up to the courts, up to the Supreme Court, which turned Hakim down.
Instead Imam Maisonet met with Hakim before the monster was put down and taught him how to die like a good Muslim.
Then he watched, along with the monster’s lawyers, from the viewing room as Hakim recited the Shahada, “la ilaha illallah muhammadur rasulullah”, declaring the supremacy of Allah and Mohammed, before the monster joined his prophet in wherever hell murderers and rapists go to.

And with those words, Hakim became America’s next great Muslim martyr..."

Brian Stelter Knocked For Claiming 'Rush to Judgment' On Smollett Story Was From 'Celebrity Press'
Brian Stelter Knocked For Claiming 'Rush to Judgment' On Smollett Story Was From 'Celebrity Press'
"On Monday, CNN’s Brian Stelter said, “There was a rush to judgment” in the case of Jussie Smollett’s alleged hate crime, but it did not come from media outlets.
“I think it was mostly in the celebrity press and among activists and among Twitter people. I think it was a really careful reporting by news organizations.
But it all gets lumped in together at the end of the day,” he said.
With Stelter’s claim thoroughly debunked by our own Caleb Howe, and many others, the CNN media correspondent’s remarks were heavily criticized.

This has been thoroughly debunked by myself & a whole lot of others and he’s still pushing it.
Now ask yourselves why.
@jtLOL
So if it's true, it's a reflection on Trump and his supporters.
But if it's false, it's not a reflection on all the people who blamed it on Trump and his supporters.
@emzanotti
The flip side of this is that media who DID pursue the case got raked across the coals.
You’d think they’d at least be worth defending.
@RBPundit
In which @BrianStelter tries to gaslight the public.
We all saw it happen in real time.
There was no careful reporting by the news.
They amplified voices of the people with agendas.
The people vested in this being a "hate crime."
Brian is the epitome of why media is despised.

Beto Is ‘Playing Right Into President Trump’s Hands’: CNN Panel Scrambles To Say We Do Need Walls | The Daily Caller

Black Civil Rights Activist Says Jussie Smollet Could Have Started “Race War”
Black Civil Rights Activist Says Jussie Smollet Could Have Started “Race War”:
During a press conference yesterday, Ali, who is the director of Project Islamic HOPE, said Smollett’s actions were an insult to real victims of hate crime.
“It’s a slap in the face.
- Calls for actor to be arrested for allegedly staging hate crime
During a press conference yesterday, Ali, who is the director of Project Islamic HOPE, said Smollett’s actions were an insult to real victims of hate crime.
“It’s a slap in the face.
We have many members of the black community and the LGBTQ community who have been the victims of racism and hate crimes, so for Smollett to say that he was a victim…and we believe is a lie…certainly is an injustice to those true victims…,” Ali said.
“Jussie Smollett must be brought to justice for lying.”
Ali also expressed concern that Smollett “could have created a race war” because more “extreme” members of the black community were so angry that they wanted to “retaliate” violently."
Watch The Fine Print On ‘Green Jobs’ Claims – Michigan Capitol Confidential
Watch The Fine Print On ‘Green Jobs’ Claims – Michigan Capitol Confidential"One of the more underreported aspects of the Green New Deal advocated by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, is its inflated claim about jobs.
According to the official language, it is “a historic opportunity to create millions of good, high-wage jobs in the United States.”
Green or “clean energy” jobs are generally framed in positive terms by the mainstream media.
For example, Yahoo News recently featured a story stating that “solar panel installer” was the fastest-growing job in eight states, including California.
But as of 2017, there were just 9,000 solar panel installers in the entire country, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
There are so few of those jobs in Michigan that the BLS doesn’t even track the activity as its own category.
There are also fewer than 10,000 people in the U.S. who work in private sector wind farms and solar farms — at a time when total nationwide employment is 150.6 million.Yet, especially in Michigan, green companies have been promoted as job creators, with expectations often inflated above the actual number of jobs they provide.
For example, as early as 2009, then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm highlighted the advanced battery manufacturer A123 Systems as a key to transforming Michigan’s economy..."

WATCH: Beto Calls For Tearing Down Border Walls, Ends Up Helping Make Conservative Case For The Wall | Daily Wire:
On Thursday, failed senatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke declared emphatically that he not only opposes Trump's call to build a wall, he wants all existing border fences torn down, including outside his home town of El Paso. But in his explanation for why he's so adamantly opposed to the wall, the presidential hopeful ended up making several points that align with the conservative case for building the wall.

Will history survive? | Spectator USA
Will history survive? | Spectator USA:
"The news that the University of Notre Dame, responding to complaints by some students, would ‘shroud’ its 12 134-year-old murals depicting Christopher Columbus was disappointing.
It was not surprising, however, to anyone who has been paying attention to the widespread attack on America’s past wherever social justice warriors congregate.
Notre Dame may not be particularly friendly to its Catholic heritage, but its president, the Rev. John Jenkins, demonstrated that it remains true to its jesuitical (if not, quite, its Jesuit) inheritance.
Queried about the censorship, he said, apparently without irony, that his decision to cover the murals was not intended to conceal anything, but rather to tell ‘the full story’ of Columbus’s activities.
Welcome to the new Orwellian world where censorship is free speech and we respect the past by attempting to elide it..."

"Appearing on MSNBC Live With Hallie Jackson Monday morning, Washington Post opinion writer Jonathan Capehart lamented that actor Jussie Smollett’s claim of being assaulted by Trump supporters was falling apart.

“Well, I don’t know what to make of all this.
Because when the news came out, a lot of people, myself included, were horrified,” Capehart began.
He then justified the rush to judgement by arguing that Smollett’s account “fit in with a narrative” about the Trump era:

He then justified the rush to judgement by arguing that Smollett’s account “fit in with a narrative” about the Trump era:
"Just the circumstances and the way he told the story, and what he said happened to him sort of fit in with a narrative – not a narrative, but a reality for a lot of people in this country since President Trump was inaugurated. That there is an atmosphere of menace and an atmosphere of hate around the country that made it possible for people to either readily believe or want to believe Jussie Smollett."

Trump as Hercules Cleaning Out the Augean Stables:
Last week in Viareggio, Italy, the citizens paraded with a huge float depicting President Trump as Hercules. Looking at his many accomplishments against countless enemies and political opponents, the depiction was not inapt. Like Hercules, he defeated the Queen of the Amazons, and this week, he's going on to clean out the Augean Stables. In this respect, he's aided by the utter stupidity of his opponents.
