Rio officials had to open Olympic Stadium with bolt cutters after losing key

Rio officials had to open Olympic Stadium with bolt cutters after losing key - The Washington Post
"...It’s probably a good thing there was something of a trial run, because when officials went to open a main gate before Wednesday’s action, they discovered a bit of a problem: 
They had misplaced the key.
[Hope Solo booed by Brazilian fans at Olympics over Zika comments]
Security personnel had to find bolt cutters and break the lock before media members and others could access the stadium’s mixed area through the gate. That came after some confusion, as reported by the BBC’s Julia Carneiro, over which entrance people were supposed to use.

Brave Man Who Stood Up to Munich Shooter Now Facing Prosecution for ‘Insulting Killer’

Brave Man Who Stood Up to Munich Shooter Now Facing Prosecution for ‘Insulting Killer’ | American Renaissance:
A man who famously stood up to the Munich shooter after he killed nine people is facing being charged by a prosecutor for insulting the killer.
Thomas Salbey, 57, saw the shooting happening from his balcony in the Bavarian capital on July 22.
In an attempt to stop 18 year old Ali Sonboly from further slaughtering people, he swore at the shooter as he was standing in a car park below. Sonboly shouted at him: “I am a German.”
Thomas Salbey
Footage of the feisty exchange went viral as thousands praised Mr Salbey for standing up to the deluded teenager.
The plucky German also hurled a beer bottle at the attacker in a desperate attempt to stop him.
He said: “All I had was a beer bottle to throw at him, but if I had a gun I would have shot him in the head.”
Loner Sonboly had just shot dead nine people, mainly young teenagers he had lured to McDonald’s on the premise of free food.
...Now, in a twist of German justice, Mr Salbey is now facing charges for standing up to the killer who shot himself in the head.
Florian Weinzierl, spokesman from the Munich State Prosecutor’s office, confirmed the Munich resident is being investigated.
...But Mr Weinzierl, suggested they could include “insults to the detriment of the dead.”
According to the spokesman, a court review will be completed soon.
Shortly after the shooting, it was revealed Sonboly considered himself Aryan, despite his Iranian heritage, and held racist view, including a deep hatred for Turks and Arabs..."

Obama Paid for Terrorism With $400 Million in Untraceable Cash | Glenn Beck

Obama Paid for Terrorism With $400 Million in Untraceable Cash | Glenn Beck:

"How stupid do they think we are?

Obama paid the number one sponsor of terror $400 million dollars in cash under the cover of night. Nothing nefarious about that, right? How about the fact that it wasn’t paid from an account with frozen Iranian assets as we were led to believe, but with U.S. tax dollars?"

Clinton calls Iran 'ransom' story 'old news' | Washington Examiner:

"Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton dismissed reports this week that the U.S. State Department gave Iran $400 million at the same time that it released American hostages as "old news."

"The White House has addressed this," she said in an interview Wednesday with a Colorado-based NBC News affiliate. "This is kind of old news.""



Bill Clinton Got Money From Big Sharia Law Education Firm

Bill Clinton Got Money From Big Sharia Law Education Firm | The Daily Caller:
"Former President Bill Clinton collected $5.6 million in fees from GEMS Education, a Dubai-based company that teaches Sharia Law through its network of more than 100 schools in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.
The company’s finances strictly adhere to “Sharia Finance,” which includes giving “zakat,” a religious tax of which one-eighth of the proceeds is dedicated to funding Islamic jihad.
The company also contributed millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation.

Obama’s Cash for Iran’s Hostages

Obama’s Cash for Iran’s Hostages - WSJ:
"When is a payment for hostages not a ransom?
When the Obama Administration says so.
Image result for obama gangster governmentThat’s how the State Department has tried to spin a $1.7 billion settlement the U.S. reached with Tehran in January, when the nuclear deal was finalized and Tehran released five American hostages, including Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian.
The Administration insists the payment merely settled a separate dispute related to the aborted sale of military equipment to the Shah of Iran in 1979.
New reporting by the Journal’s Jay Solomon and Carol Lee blows apart this story. 
On the day the U.S. hostages came home from Iran, an unmarked cargo plane landed in Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport with cash amounting to $400 million of euros, Swiss francs and other currencies. 
U.S. law forbids direct dollar transactions with Iran, and the $400 million in cash wasn’t disclosed to Congress.
Justice Department officials objected but were overruled.
One reason the Administration is keen to deny that the cash was ransom is because it had already paid a high price by freeing seven Iranians charged or convicted of U.S. crimes and dropping extradition requests for 14 others.
But the Iranians weren’t satisfied..."

Those Hacked DNC Emails——-It Was NSA, Not Putin

Those Hacked DNC Emails——-It Was NSA, Not Putin | David Stockman's Contra Corner:
"On the eve of the Democratic National Convention, WikiLeaks — the courageous international organization dedicated to governmental transparency — exposed hundreds of internal emails circulated among senior staff of the Democratic National Committee during the past 18 months.
At a time when Democratic Party officials were publicly professing neutrality during the party’s presidential primaries, the DNC’s internal emails showed a pattern of distinct bias toward the candidacy of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a marked prejudice toward the candidacy of Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Some of the emails were raw in their tone, and some could fairly be characterized as failing to respect Sanders’ Jewish heritage.
...In order to take everyone’s eyes off this intrusive and uncomfortable bouncing ball, the leadership of the DNC, in conjunction with officials of the Clinton campaign, blamed the release of the DNC emails on hackers employed by Russian intelligence agents. 
Many in the media picked up this juicy story and repeated it all last week.
Clinton promptly named Wasserman Schultz as a campaign consultant and complained that the Russians are trying to influence the presidential election. She did not complain about the unfairness manifested in the emails, complete with their religious prejudice; she only complained about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s helping Donald Trump.
But the Russians had nothing to do with it.
Last week, William Binney, a 30-year career official at the National Security Agency turned whistleblower, revealed the unthinkable.
Binney, who devised the software that the NSA has used to capture the contents of emails and cellphone conversations of all in America but resigned from the NSA because of the unlawful and unconstitutional manner in which the software was used, told a Philadelphia radio audience that the DNC hacking was most likely done by NSA agents.
Why would the NSA hack into DNC computers, and why would the NSA leak what its agents saw?
Here is where the deep state meets the political world.
The deep state consists of intelligence, military, law enforcement and administrative agency personnel who aggressively protect their own interests, which transcend elections.
Stated differently, many of these folks remain in opaque positions of power, and th
...The deep state stays in power by a variety of means, some of which are lawful and not the least of which was visited upon the DNC last week.
Binney knows the inside workings of NSA computers because he designed them.
He knows how easy it would have been for any of the NSA’s 60,000 agents, many of whom have great antipathy toward Clinton, to employ their skills to frustrate her drive toward the presidency..."

Look at Norton Shores!!-----Detroit Was Just the Beginning: The Crisis of City Pension Systems in Michigan

Detroit Was Just the Beginning: The Crisis of City Pension Systems in Michigan [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
In 2014, Detroit retirees learned the consequences of waiting too long to reform pensions. Retirees took a $1.3 billion hit to their pensions because of a mismanaged and underfunded system. Michigan taxpayers had to pay $200 million to clean up the problem.
But other municipalities around Michigan have underfunded systems, too, and only some are taking concrete steps to solve the problem.
Michigan Capitol Confidential looked at Michigan’s 100 largest cities and found that 80 of the systems were underfunded. Combined, these 80 cities and townships have only saved 62 percent of what they will need to pay the pensions of future retirees. Even after Detroit's recent bankruptcy settlement, their total unfunded liability equaled $4.6 billion.
Five cities contributed the most to this liability, responsible for over half the total. Detroit comes in at the top of the list with a $1.6 billion liability. Flint’s unfunded liability is $285 million, Lansing’s is $246 million, Warren’s is $207 million and Sterling Heights' is $166 million. The total unfunded liability of these four cities is $2.5 billion.
Of the 20 cities that are not considered underfunded, most (14) offer a defined contribution retirement plan instead of a defined benefit pension plan.
Of the remaining six cities, five have closed their defined benefit plan and are paying off accrued liabilities, while all new employees join a defined contribution plan. Only Kalamazoo has a defined benefit plan that is fully funded and still open to new employees.
Rochester Hills, the 21st-largest city in Michigan, has never offered a defined benefit pension plan to its employees. Since its incorporation in 1984, the city has never had any retiree liabilities and Mayor Bryan Barnett says this has allowed it to fund other priorities.
"Maintaining a defined contribution program has allowed us the financial freedom to invest in our infrastructure as well as quality-of-life components our residents enjoy,” Barnett said. “Strong conservative fiscal management has positioned our city in the top 5 percent for financial stability in the state and certainly is one of the reasons we've been named one of the top ten places to live in America."
Pension problems vary in severity across Michigan. Grand Rapids, the state’s second-largest city, closed its plan to new employees in 2014 and is now 97 percent funded.
Ann Arbor and Dearborn are funded at 88 and 89 percent, respectively. Ann Arbor has a liability of $65 million while Dearborn is underfunded by $20 million.
Some cities are much worse off. Taylor, Saginaw and East Lansing are funded at less than 60 percent, meaning they’ve only put aside a bit more than half of what will be needed...

Venezuela -- Starvation & Economic Collapse Have Led to Citizens' Enslavement | National Review

Venezuela -- Starvation & Economic Collapse Have Led to Citizens' Enslavement | National Review:

"Violence is always at the end of the socialist enterprise, as the poor people of Venezuela are discovering. Our friends on the Left assured us for many years that Boss Hugo and his epigones in the regime of Nicolás Maduro were democratic socialists, not the mean Stalinist type, and the praises of that so-called democratic-socialist regime were sung by everyone from Democratic congressmen such as Chaka Fattah of Philadelphia to progressive celebrities such as Sean Penn.

The democratic socialists in Venezuela have just introduced slavery into their workers’ paradise."

White Americans need not apply-----Illegal immigrant lands nearly $300,000 in college scholarships

Illegal immigrant lands nearly $300,000 in college scholarships | EAGnews.org:
"CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – A recent Chattanooga high school graduate is heading off to the University of Chicago with nearly $300,000 in scholarships and is working to raise more money for living expenses.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press published a glowing profile about a high-performing undocumented student at a local high school who was brought to America illegally by his parents when he was 5 years old.
The news site did not use the student’s real name, and shielded his parents’ identity, but supposedly confirmed that the teen graduated from a Chattanooga high school at the top of his class with a background in social justice activism that appealed to the university.
“I became active in Black Lives Matter two years ago, became an LGBT rights activist, campaigned for Bernie Sanders,” the student, identified as David Rodriquez, told the Times Free Press..."

Ami Horowitz's Republican National Convention Findings

Ami Horowitz's Republican National Convention Findings | National Review:
"Filmmaker Ami Horowitz conducted an interesting experiment at the Republican National Convention this year.
He stood outside the convention area holding an “I Love Hillary” sign to see what would happen. People were a little amused but surprisingly nice to a guy who seemed to be in the wrong place.
When he tried the same experiment at the Democratic National Convention, people weren’t so friendly. Horowitz hit up Philadelphia and stood outside holding an “I Love Trump” sign.
The responses were less than kind and it wasn’t long before he was spit up on and called a racist, surrounded by a bullying group of haters.
