Judge Overseeing Michael Flynn’s Sentencing Just Dropped A Bombshell
Judge Overseeing Michael Flynn’s Sentencing Just Dropped A Bombshell:
President Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017, so the 302 of the Flynn interview Comey read must have been written before then. Why then was a new 302 drafted on August 22, 2017? And by whom?
The timing of the re-write—shortly after then-FBI Agent Strzok was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team after his anti-Trump text messages came to light—raises the possibility that Mueller wanted to scrub the evidence of Strzok’s taint.

They lied: The UN Migration Pact IS legally binding and could be valid FOR ALL countries
They lied: The UN Migration Pact IS legally binding and could be valid FOR ALL countries:
"They lied.
For months proponents of the UN Migration Pact told us that the pact was non-binding.
The response to the many citizens of nation states worldwide having signed country specific petitions was that it was non-binding so there was nothing to worry about, it was going to be good.
The immensely opposed and disastrous document declares unlimited migration to be treated as a human right, thereby deprecating the term ‘illegal migrants’, and criminalises any criticism of migration as hate speech.
...Now we know.
In a frank exchange with Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel, Mr. Hebner of the AfD drew out an admission that it is, in fact, legally binding.
As well, that it will be adopted as rule for all UN Member states once enacted..."

Why 'Separation of Church and State' was Never Intended to Mean 'Government Versus God' | CBN News
Why 'Separation of Church and State' was Never Intended to Mean 'Government Versus God' | CBN News:
"When the Founders talked about separation of church and state, they had a historical context that we really lack," David Barton of WallBuilders told CBN News.
He said those Founders saw great danger in rulers establishing a specific religion their subjects then had to practice.
Christian historian Rev. Eddie Hyatt, the author of Pilgrims & Patriots, explained, "Church and state were merged together, and the church used the power of the state to enforce its doctrines and practices."

The Growing Muslim Population in Europe | Intellectual Takeout
"...Currently (2016) there are about 26 million Muslims in Europe, or about 4.9% of the continent’s population.
This has grown from 19.5 million (3.8%) in 2010.
However, the current Muslim population is not spread evenly: they make up 6.3% of the UK’s population, 6.1% of Germany’s population, 6.9% in Austria’s population, 8.1% in Sweden and 8.8% in France.
...In the “high migration” scenario, the non-Muslim population in Europe would still decline by about 30 million people.
But this would be more than compensated by the Muslim population growing by 50 million people, meaning that the population of Europe as a whole would grow modestly: by 4% over the next 30 years.
...Sweden would be 30% Muslim, while Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and the UK would be pushing 20%.
Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Finland would not be far behind in the mid-teens..."

LA college district abolishes free speech zones as part of lawsuit settlement | Fox News:
A Los Angeles college student who sued his school for allegedly curbing his right to free speech after it prevented him from passing out copies of the U.S. Constitution was vindicated in court this week.
The Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), which represents nine schools, including Pierce College, agreed on Wednesday to settle a lawsuit filed against them last year by student Kevin Shaw after he was barred from passing out copies of the document because he wasn’t in the school’s designated “free speech zone,” which measured 616 square feet or about the size of three parking spaces.

California politician arrested after spanking his daughter
California politician arrested after spanking his daughter
"A Democratic assemblyman in California was arrested Monday on suspicion of child cruelty after allegedly spanking his daughter.
On Wednesday, he claimed that he had only done so as a means of punishment.
In an interview with the Fresno Bee, lawmaker Joaquin Arambula spoke about an incident at home Sunday night that led him to spank his 7-year-old.
The following day, when she went to school, she allegedly told her teacher what had happened and expressed how she was upset about it, sparking an investigation by Child Protective Services (CPS).
“I disciplined her as a consequence to something she did. This is something that’s really rare for us. It’s a tool of last resort but it’s something that we do. And I spanked her bottom,” he explained. “She was pretty upset, and she struggled to be able to share her emotions, as I’m sure you can appreciate a 7-year-old will. But that’s all that happened.”

How many votes would Hillary Clinton have lost if it had been known that she paid for the Trump dossier? How many votes would Hillary Clinton have lost if it had been known that the entire Russian collusion story was a hoax that was perpetrated by an FBI and a DOJ which had implanted spies in the Trump campaign?
How many votes do you think Trump might have won by if the things that we know today had been revealed during the campaign? Hillary Clinton paying for (and writing, essentially) the Steele dossier. All of these hijinks. People at the FBI trying to set Trump up, six different spies embedded in the Trump campaign. How many votes do you think Hillary Clinton would have lost if James Comey had not illegally exonerated her on July 5th for having not created a crime, not a prosecutable crime in the email server scandal?

...The law denies local law enforcement the ability to detain people on behalf of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the federal agency charged with identifying and investigating immigrants present in the country illegally.
It also prohibits local officials from inquiring about a person’s immigration status, something Ruiz-Velasco called a “very important protection,” that will make immigrants more comfortable reporting crimes to local police..."
