An Ideological Ship Wreck Between Islam and The West Centuries in the Making | TheBlaze.com

An Ideological Ship Wreck Between Islam and The West Centuries in the Making | TheBlaze.com:

"Ironically, America’s demise is playing out in similar fashion. We are on a collision course with an ideological iceberg that calved 1,400 years ago, long before democracy was a gleam in our Founding Fathers’ collective eye.

More than a millennium before America won her independence in 1783, fate had doomed us to fight our first two wars against the same ideology that has caused us to fight our last two: Islam."

BROADDRICK SPEAKS: I’d ‘love’ to have one-on-one encounter with Hillary

BROADDRICK SPEAKS: I’d ‘love’ to have one-on-one encounter with Hillary | The American Mirror
PART I of III — Hillary Clinton says she stands with women, but Juanita Broaddrick knows first-hand she doesn’t stand with all women.
Broaddrick says Bill Clinton raped her in a Little Rock hotel room in 1978 and shortly after the incident, Hillary deliberately intimidated her into silence.
Today, Broaddrick says she would “welcome” a one-on-one conversation with Hillary to ask her why she did what she did, if she supposedly stands for women.
The American Mirror recently visited Broaddrick at her Arkansas home. While initially declining to appear on camera — thus, the audio-only interview — after our conversation, she agreed to appear in some b-roll shots.
She was asked, “If Hillary was in your neighborhood going door-to-door campaigning, and she came up to your door…”
“I’d let her in,” Broaddrick interjected. “Oh, I’d have a talk that I never had the nerve to before,” she said when she was asked about what she would do.
“I’d say you are an evil person. And do you remember what you did to me back then. And how on earth could you cover up for him all these years.
“I’d love to have a one-on-one — not with anybody else around — but just a one-on-one. If I knew she was coming I’d make a list.”
When asked if she would fear for her safety, she said no, “Not one-on-one. But what she can do to me through her power, that frightens me. One-on-one, no. I’d love to have that encounter,” she says.
Broaddrick says her first encounter with Hillary was in 1978, shortly after the alleged rape..."

TSA Paid $1.4 Million for App that Directs Travelers Left or Right in Lines

TSA Paid $1.4 Million for App that Directs Travelers Left or Right in Lines - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"Anyone who has flown in the United States in the past 15 years or so knows the drill: A friendly agent or sub-contractor of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the demonstrably useless and expensive security-theater troupe created in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, directs you to go right or left at some point.
Recently, TSA started using an iPad or other high-tech gadgets in the process, the better to confound countless numbers of underwear bombers.
Did you know that such procedures are scientifically randomized via a particular "randomizer" program?
As Geek.com reports, the app that helps TSA agents direct us this way of that didn't come cheap.
The program itself cost at least $336,413.59 and the overall total for the project was around $1.4 million.
We know this thanks to developer Kevin Burke, who submitted a Freedom of Information Act request asking for details about the app.
And if you think paying over $336,000 for an app like this is ridiculous, well, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
The contract for the TSA Randomizer app was won by IBM.
The total paid for the project is actually $1.4 million, but the cost is not broken down in the documents Burke received in response to his request.
It could be IBM supplied all the iPads and training as well as the app itself.
Even so, the cost of the project is crazy. It’s an app that is just randomly selects left or right.

White House Warns ‘Thousands to Tens of Thousands of Additional Heat-Related Deaths’ Coming from Climate Change | TheBlaze.com:

"McCarthy contends that without action, climate change will affect both the physical and mental health of Americans.

“Every human being in every part of the United States is now being impacted by climate and will be increasingly impacted if we do not take action now,” McCarthy continued. “We are talking about everything from our food, our water, our air, our weather. If that’s not enough, it’s probably impacting how happy you are every day and what your mental health is.”

The report was done with collaboration of the EPA, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the U.S. Surgeon General’s office, and the National Oceans and Atmospheric Administration."

Chalk and Awe

Chalk and Awe - WSJ:

If you find Donald Trump’s presidential campaign a source of pure despair, allow us to offer some mitigation. The campaign is having at least one salutary effect, as reported by the New York Times:
Students at several college campuses are clashing with their administrations and debating the limits of free speech after finding chalk messages voicing support for Donald J. Trump scrawled on campus property.
Last week [now the week before last], at Emory University in Atlanta, officials scrambled to respond to a student demonstration after roughly 100 messages were found on campus. The students felt that there was an anti-diversity subtext to the so-called chalking written on campus about Mr. Trump.
That description of the controversy illustrates the sheer insanity of 21st-century campus culture. An expression of support for a candidate is what is known in First Amendment law as “core political speech,” and there is no exception that permits censorship of any speech because it has “an anti-diversity subtext,” whatever that even means.
To be sure, Emory is a private institution, so that its administration is legally unconstrained by the First Amendment. But a regime of censorship runs counter to the Emory motto, Cor prudentis possidebit scientiam: “A wise heart seeks knowledge.” What does an unwise heart do? The Emory Wheel, a student newspaper, has the answer:
“I’m supposed to feel comfortable and safe [here],” one student said. “But this man [Trump] is being supported by students on our campus and our administration shows that they, by their silence, support it as well . . . I don’t deserve to feel afraid at my school,” she added.
But maybe this is, if you’ll pardon the expression, a teachable moment. Emory’s president, James Wagner, showed some spine in a meeting with the aggrieved students:
“What do we have to do for you to listen to us?” students asked Wagner directly, to which he asked, “What actions should I take?” One student asked if Emory would send out a University-wide email to “decry the support for this fascist, racist candidate” to which Wagner replied, “No, we will not.” One student clarified that “the University doesn’t have to say they don’t support Trump, but just to acknowledge that there are students on this campus who feel this way about what’s happening . . . to acknowledge all of us here.”
As the Times notes, Wagner eventually issued an equivocal official statement and an unequivocal unofficial one:
“As an academic community, we must value and encourage the expression of ideas, vigorous debate, speech, dissent and protest,” he wrote.” At the same time, our commitment to respect, civility and inclusion calls us to provide a safe environment that inspires and supports courageous inquiry.”
Mr. Wagner was then filmed scrawling a chalk message of his own: “Emory stands for free expression!”
“Thanks in large part to the Emory University students who pathetically panicked after seeing pro-Trump messages written in chalk on campus sidewalks, pro-Trump messages are now appearing on other college campuses,” the blog Legal Insurrection reported over the weekend. “The whole thing is going viral on Twitter under the hashtag #TheChalkening...”

Six things to know about the Panama Papers

Six things to know about the Panama Papers | World | DW.COM | 04.04.2016:
Who, what, where and when: The release of the so-called "Panama Papers" on offshore financial dealings of the wealthy, the famous and the powerful is being called the biggest leak in history.
Panama Papers Mossack Fonseca Webseite
What are the Panama Papers?
The Panama Papers are a cache of 11.5 million documents and 2.6 terabytes of information in the form of emails, financial spreadsheets, passports and corporate records from the law firm Mossack Fonseca that detail how powerful figures used banks, law firms and offshore shell companies to hide assets worth billions in offshore jurisdictions. The data leaked on Sunday lists almost 15,600 paper companies set up for clients who wanted to keep their finances secret, and spans the decades - from 1977 to the spring of 2016.
What is Mossack Fonseca?
In 2012, The Economist described Mossack Fonseca as a remarkably "tight-lipped" industry leader in offshore finance. The Panama-based law firm and corporate service provider is one of the world's largest providers of shell companies. The company has franchises all over the world that operate in tax havens like the British Virgin Islands. According to Germany daily Süddeutsche Zeitung, - who obtained the Panama Papers from an anonymous source - Mossack Fonseca "sells its shell firms in cities such as Zurich, London, and Hong Kong - in some instances at bargain prices; clients can buy an anonymous company for as little as $ 1,000 (880 euros)."
Who is the ICIJ?
The Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists investigated the files that exposed the hidden financial dealings.
Founded in 1977 by US journalist Chuck Lewis, the ICIJ is a global non-profit network of about 190 investigative journalists in more than 65 countries who collaborate on in-depth stories. "Together, we aim to be the world's best cross-border investigative team," the group says on its website. Like in the present case, the ICIJ works with leading news organizations worldwide to release its findings.
Two years ago, an ICIJ investigation identified thousands of offshore holdings of China's elite in mainland China and Hong Kong.
Who is implicated?
The list of politicians and celebrities linked to secret offshore tax hideaways is long, and it's international. It includes current and former heads of state, the likes of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, British lawmakers, close associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iceland's Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson, martial arts movie star Jackie Chan, Argentine soccer megastar Lionel Messi, the families of some of China's top communist brass and Bollywood's Amitabh Bachchan - the "Big B."

Gun Violence Nearly Doubled in Chicago Over the Past Year

Gun Violence Nearly Doubled in Chicago Over the Past Year | The Daily Sheeple:
"Whenever pro-second amendment advocates try to argue that gun control will lead to disaster, the city of Chicago has always provided the perfect fodder for their arguments.
Despite having some of the most draconian gun laws in country, the city of Chicago has long been notorious for its mind-boggling murder statistics.
To the surprise of no one who supports gun rights, the latest statistics out of Chicago show that the city is still a prime example of what happens when you hinder gun rights for law-abiding citizens.
According to CNN, 141 people were murdered in Chicago during the first three months of the year, which is 71.9% higher than the 82 people who were killed in the same time frame last year. 
Even more astonishing for a city that prides itself on tackling guns, is the fact that shootings during the first three months of the year have gone up 88.5%, from 359 in 2015, to 677 in 2016. In other words, gun violence has nearly doubled over the past year.
CNN interviewed several residents in Chicago about the explosion in violence, and they all seemed to blame it on the economy.
“If you really want to stop this epidemic of violence, the best way to stop a bullet is with a job” explained one resident.
While there is certainly merit to that, the economy isn’t the sole contributing factor to violence.
In fact, all crime rates declined in the United States following the crash of 2008.
Maybe it’s time for the city to admit that making it easier to own and carry a weapon would also alleviate their horrendous crime rates."

“According to Sharia Law, a Saudi Arabian woman must be accompanied by a male guardian at all times in public, something the 19 year old victim did not obey when she went to meet a friend, according to website Live Buddhism.” Not just a “Saudi Arabian woman,” but any woman. Since the victim did not do this, she is at fault. This is Islamic law. It is barbaric and inhumane, but it is Islamic law.

Fed Appeals Court Protects “Habitual Drunkards” from Deportation

Fed Appeals Court Protects “Habitual Drunkards” from Deportation - Judicial Watch:
"In what may seem like a bad joke, a U.S. federal appellate court has ruled that an illegal immigrant convicted of drunk-driving can’t be deported because federal immigration law discriminates against “habitual drunkards” like him.
The case involves an illegal immigrant from Mexico, Salomon Ledezma-Cosino, with at least one drunk-driving conviction, possibly more. Ledezma-Cosino has lived in the U.S. illegally since 1997 and has eight kids, five of them anchor babies born in America.
He works in the construction industry and has a criminal record.
Ledezma-Cosino drank about a liter of tequila every day for a decade, according to medical records cited in federal court documents, and has been diagnosed with acute alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver.
This man should be the poster child for deportation yet he remains in the country and is now further protected by a federal appellate court ruling.
That’s because this particular court, the notoriously leftist 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, believes the portion of federal immigration law that should get Ledezma-Cosino removed is discriminatory..."

Ethanol Mandates Need to Go

Ethanol Mandates Need to Go | Economics21
Burning food for fuel does not sound like the best idea. 
However, that is precisely what U.S. ethanol policy requires.
Though federal supports for ethanol have changed over the past decades, the disappointing results of the program—including the waste of motorists’ dollars—have continued. In what follows, my Manhattan Institute colleague Robert Bryce explains why Americans are still stuck with destructive ethanol programs that do not help the environment, promote energy independence, or aid the economy:
...More importantly, thanks to Congress, we have a federal mandate that requires retailers to blend about 13 billion gallons of corn ethanol per year into the gasoline they sell to the public. 
That mandate is just another form of subsidy because it requires motorists to buy a fuel that, on an energy-equivalent basis costs more than conventional gasoline.
Making matters worse, ethanol is corrosive, hydrophilic (meaning it absorbs water), and it’s bad for small engines.
Regarding that last point, I am compelled to add a personal anecdote.
I have a small (4 horsepower) outboard engine that I use on my old wooden boat.
A few weeks ago, I had it serviced.
As I handed it over, I asked the mechanic (James, the owner of Highland Outboards) how many of the engines he works on have been damaged by ethanol.
His reply: “all of them.”

How Hillary’s awful ‘unborn person’ blunder will be covered by ‘Big 3 networks’

How Hillary’s awful ‘unborn person’ blunder will be covered by ‘Big 3 networks’ | BizPac Review: "Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton made a major gaffe during an appearance Sunday on “Meet the Press” in response to a question about rights for unborn children.
A gaffe that Newsbusters predicts will not make the Big Three networks’ morning shows on Monday.
In seven short words, Clinton undermined the left’s position on abortions from day one that the embryo is just a clump of cells: “The unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights.”
...In comparison to the wall-to-wall coverage Republican front-runner Donald Trump saw last week when he stumbled over a question on abortion, the media’s reaction Monday to Clinton’s “leftist heresy” will be a follow-up worth monitoring."

Father Banned from Taking His Son To Church Because Ex-Wife is Muslim

Father Banned from Taking His Son To Church Because Ex-Wife is Muslim | Creeping Sharia:
"A British father has been banned from taking his nine year old son to church, as his ex-wife is a Muslim. 
The ruling stipulates he must also feed the boy Halal food and assure him he is an ordinary Muslim boy.
The father has been threatened with loss of custody if he breaks the ban – but he has vowed to challenge the ruling, saying that his son is being brainwashed into Islam and that he doesn’t want him becoming a “dumb sheep”.
...Following his divorce he has been forging close connections to his local Christian community and would like his son to attend with him, hoping to broadening his world-view.
But his ex-wife has secured a court order by District Judge Williscroft at Derby County Court, preventing him from taking his son to church or even to the leisure centre it runs.
...“My son is being indoctrinated and the only way I can show him other things is to take him to other places.”
And the order goes further: banning the boy’s father, who has custody of his son at weekends only, from taking him to any religious event or Christian building.
He must also only feed the boy Halal food, and, bizarrely must reassure the child he is “an ordinary Muslim boy following Muslim rules...”

Hacker reveals $40 attack that steals police drones from 2km away • The Register:
"No encryption in pro-grade drones: just sniff Wi-Fi and copy signals
Black Hat Asia IBM security guy Nils Rodday says thieves can hijack expensive professional drones used widely across the law enforcement, emergency, and private sectors thanks to absent encryption in on-board chips.
Rodday says the €25,000 quadcopters can be hijacked with less than $40 of hardware, and some basic knowledge of radio communications.
With that in hand attackers can commandeer radio links to the drones from up to two kilometres away, and block operators from reconnecting to the craft.
The drone is often used by emergency services across Europe, but the exposure could be much worse; the targeted Xbee chip is common in drones everywhere and Rodday says it is likely many more aircraft are open to compromise..."

EU STARS: EU bosses demand that EU stars be incorporated in Union Jack

EU STARS: EU bosses demand that EU stars be incorporated in Union Jack | Politics | News | Daily Express:
EUROPEAN UNION chiefs are drawing up secret plans ordering member nations to incorporate the ‘ring of stars’ emblem of the Council of Europe into their flags.
Graphic artists in Brussels have even drawn up proposed designs which show the blue and gold Flag of Europe either displayed in the top left hand corner or even more brazenly in the CENTRE of the existing national flags.
The move is being pushed through prior to the UK vote on EU membership on June 23 in what is seen by critics as a cynical bid to officially cement Britain’s links to the European Union.
A high ranking Brussels-based diplomat who leaked the plans to Express.co.uk said: “The idea of incorporating the 12 stars into national flags has been around as long as the Council of Europe has existed."
