Rape gangs are still ravaging Britain and "it's worse now than ever before"

Rape gangs are still ravaging Britain and "it's worse now than ever before"

• There’s a world outside your window and it’s a world of dread and fear. 
• The only thing that is growing is the bitter rape of young vulnerable British girls, as you read those words this festive season, thank god it’s them, instead of you.

Rape Gangs right now, as you read this are still blighting Britain and destroying the lives of thousands of girls across the UK

The 1985 charity-hit for the starving people of Africa ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ called for us to spare a thought of starving Africans, but this Christmas – it’s time to start our charity at home and shine a light on our own horrors here in the UK, and think of the victims of the vile Rape Gangs that steal the childhood of thousands of young girls – and quite possibly boys, the #1400 campaign is trying to do that – despite a ‘Media Blackout.’

...Rape Gangs right now, as you read this are STILL blighting Britain and destroying the lives of thousands of girls across the UK. 

“Paedophiles don’t retire,” said Shazia Hobbs, and she says that it’s “worse now than ever before.”

Althouse: I'm surprised by the readers of The Washington Post — they're so Trumpian on illegal immigration.

"I'm reading "Father whose son died in custody knew bringing him would ease entry into U.S." in The Washington Post.

Agustin Gomez Perez was 47 and in debt, and that path would only deepen his obligations.... He and his wife chose 8-year-old Felipe Gomez Alonzo for the journey because he was one of three sons, and the couple had only one daughter together....
...Smugglers often charge less than half the price if a child goes along, knowing that migrants can turn themselves in to border agents and will soon be released....

I've excerpted the parts of the article that might make a reader want to blame the father. 
Was the boy exploited? 
Was he regarded as expendable? 
There's plenty else in the article that might make you want to blame the U.S. government (mainly for not giving quicker medical treatments). 
I would also think many readers would mostly feel sad that a boy died and bemoan poverty generally. 
So I was surprised at how harsh the comments were against the father. 
I didn't expect this at The Washington Post. 
This is the most liked comment:

This child's siblings in Guatemala are alive and well. The child was dragged to the US using money that could have paid the father's overdue electric bill, which is not a reason to grant asylum.

...The second most well liked comment is:

This is human trafficking with children being used as pawns. Our charity is being abused. We're being scammed.

...Reading these comments, I believe the American culture has changed radically since the fall of 2016, when Trump was painted as a racist for saying the situation at the border had to change..."

Roughly 80% of all voters say U.S. needs secure borders, including 68% of Democrats: Harvard poll - Washington Times
"A wide-reaching new poll conducted by Harvard University reveals that majorities of U.S. voters — including Democrats — appear to agree with many of President Trump’s most basic beliefs about immigration.
The findings reveal, for example, that eight out of 10 of all U.S. voters — 79 percent — say the U.S. needs secure borders; 93 percent of Republicans, 80 percent of independents and 68 percent of Democrats agree with that.
Another 79 percent of voters overall say immigration priorities should be granted on a person’s “ability to contribute to America”..."

The cost of the wall is nothing compared to the yearly cost of illegal immigration - Conservative Review

The cost of the wall is nothing compared to the yearly cost of illegal immigration - Conservative Review:

Last week, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen testified before the House Judiciary Committee that the Border Patrol is averaging 2,100 apprehensions per day so far this fiscal year. That is an annualized rate of 766,500 illegals. Those are just the ones we catch. How many are allowed to come in undetected as a result of the agents being tied up with family units?

Spotless Sun Sparks a Geomagnetic Storm | Watts Up With That?

Spotless Sun Sparks a Geomagnetic Storm | Watts Up With That?
"But, last night the spotless sun produced a G1-class geomagnetic storm with bright auroras reported from Iceland to Alaska.  
More lights are in the offing as a stream of solar wind is expected to buffet Earth’s magnetic field for the next 24 to 48 hours.

Similar displays were reported over Iceland (“the best auroras of the season,” says Jónína Óskarsdóttir) and Canada (“STEVE made an appearance as well,” reports Harlan Thomas).

This storm was caused not by sunspots, which have been absent for most of 2018, but rather by a hole in the sun’s atmosphere.

Mueller-target Corsi says special counsel harassing family members - WND

Mueller-target Corsi says special counsel harassing family members - WND:

“Previously, Mueller and his dishonest leftist hack prosecutors, including Jeannie Rhee, who before joining the special counsel’s office has been a lawyer for the Clinton Foundation, had mocked in closed door settings Dr. Corsi’s Christian beliefs requiring him not to lie under oath, and also ordered him not to report any agreed sealed plea deal to government regulators, which he would have been required to do under his license to sell and market securities. Thus, Jeannie Rhee and others in Mueller’s office incredibly counseled Dr. Corsi to commit more crimes in addition to perjury,” he said.
Corsi, too, explained what he sees as Mueller’s harassment of his family.

Swedish National TV under fire for 'censoring' murder on tourists and saying 'it has nothing to do with Islam'

Swedish National TV under fire for 'censoring' murder on tourists and saying 'it has nothing to do with Islam'
"The state broadcaster SVT’s coverage of the double murder of 24-year-old Louisa Vesterager Jespersen and 28-year-old Maren Ueland by Islamists in Morocco has sparked a fury of criticism.

Besides running an article that the savage murder of the two Scandinavian girls “had nothing to do with Islam”, they also pushed the narrative that sharing of the graphic video of the murder is illegal, warning Swedes not to share the video as that is punishable with up to four years imprisonment.
Scores of viewers complained that SVT was more concerned by people sharing the video of the killing, than they were with the horrific murders, themselves. 
As well, they failed to mention the ISIS style execution by beheading, instead reported the murder from “neck wounds”..."

EXPLOSIVE: Report Says WaPo Reporter Killed In Saudi Consulate May Have Been Foreign Agent | Daily Wire

EXPLOSIVE: Report Says WaPo Reporter Killed In Saudi Consulate May Have Been Foreign Agent | Daily Wire
"A new report asserts that Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on October 2, may have been a foreign agent working for the government of Qatar in order to change U.S. policy against Saudi Arabia and in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood.

...Hanson ups the ante considerably as to Khashoggi’s possible status as a foreign agent, writing:

But during Security Studies Group research for our report on the information operation after his death, we heard from reliable sources familiar with the investigation that documents showing wire transfers from Qatar were found in his apartment in Turkey. They were immediately put out of reach by Turkish security services, so they did not show the collusion between Khashoggi, Qatar, and Turkey prior to his death. We have published a new, unredacted set of findings about the case. It is damning to Qatar, Turkey, and the Washington Post. Khashoggi may have been operating in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act by doing this on behalf of Qatar.

Hanson points out Qatar supports the Muslim Brotherhood, which is regarded as a terrorist organization by many Gulf nations; members of Congress have pushed for naming the group a terrorist organization.

Hanson adds that Turkey and Qatar drove the narrative after the killing of Khashoggi and fed their chosen information to “major Western English-language journalist outlets.”..."

Tom Homan, former ICE chief, rips Nancy Pelosi for doubting border wall works - Washington Times

Tom Homan, former ICE chief, rips Nancy Pelosi for doubting border wall works - Washington Times:

Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan on Wednesday blasted House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi for calling a border wall ineffective and accusing President Trump of “fear mongering” with the illegal immigration issue.
“Every place a wall or barrier has been built, it has resulted in decreased illegal immigration, decreased drug smuggling. One hundred percent of the time, it has proven effective,” Mr. Homan said on Fox News, where he is a contributor.
“Look at the rest of the data on the border, where arrests of MS-13 [gang] this year are up 118 percent, the seizures of guns — for God’s sake — are up almost 200 percent. There’s your data. Look at it. You can see why we need a wall,” he said.

Report: 38 Percent of FEMA Employees Aren't 'Qualified' for Their Jobs - Hit & Run : Reason.com
"If it sometimes seems like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) doesn't know what it is doing, well, that might be because many FEMA employees don't know what they are doing.
As part of an ongoing review of its response to the 2017 hurricane season—a particularly bad summer that included major storms hitting Florida, Puerto Rico, and Texas—FEMA concluded that as many as 38 percent of it's workforce were unqualified for the positions they held, according to Politico.
Being unqualified, in this case, means those employees had not completed mandatory training for their current position.
As a result, FEMA "placed staff in positions beyond their experiences and, in some instance, beyond their capabilities," according to the agency's internal analysis of the 2017 hurricane season..."

Wall Street Journal Shreds Washington Post Trump Coverage

Wall Street Journal Shreds Washington Post Trump Coverage
"The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page offered a feisty Boxing Day piece on Wednesday lashing into the Washington Post over coverage of President Trump’s Christmastime visit to the troops.
The Journal focused on this piece by the Post’s Philip Rucker and Paul Sonne, citing the opening two paragraphs and accusing it of needlessly working in unrelated Trump scandals into a piece that did not call for it.
“Can anyone reading those opening two sentences wonder why millions of Americans believe Donald Trump when he tells them that he can’t get a fair shake from the press?” the Journal asked.
“The point isn’t to feel sorry for Mr. Trump, whose rhetorical attacks on the press have often been contemptible.
The point is that such gratuitously negative reporting undermines the credibility of the press without Mr. Trump having to say a word.”
“These reporters can’t even begin a news account of a presidential visit to a military base without working in a compilation of Mr. Trump’s controversies, contradictions, and failings,” the paper added.
The offending paragraphs were quoted verbatim by the journal..."

African soldier sues as army 'failed to protect him' from UK winter | Daily Mail Online

• Michael Asiamah says he suffered a cold injury during exercises in Leicestershire
• Said black people of Caribbean and African origin are more susceptible to cold

• Claims superiors failed to warn him to bring kit such as gloves, socks and boots

Michael Asiamah (pictured) is suing the military for £150,000 after accusing them of failing to protect him from the British winter

An African soldier is suing the military for £150,000 after accusing them of failing to protect him from the British winter.

Michael Asiamah says he suffered from a 'cold-related' condition after officers neglected to supply him with warm clothing during an 18-hour exercise in the freezing wind.

The 36-year-old, who served with the Adjutant General's Corps, said the army exposed him to the cold despite knowing that people of black Caribbean and African origin are more susceptible to cold injuries.

Mr Asiamah, who was born in Ghana, told the High Court the exercises on Salisbury Plain and Naseby Battlefield in Leicestershire left him with numbness and pain.

He claims that superiors failed to warn him to bring kit such as gloves, winter socks and boots for the exercise in March 2016, and when he told them about his susceptibility to the cold he was told to carry on..."
