'It’s like a third world country' Patients hit out at struggling London A&E ("Accident and Emergency" hospitals)

'It’s like a third world country' Patients hit out at struggling London A&E | UK | News | Daily Express:
"PATIENTS have blasted a struggling A&E department and said nurses were seen laughing as beds piled up in a corridor.
The under-fire emergency department at North Middlesex University Hospital, Edmonton, north London has been threatened with closure and patients have been quick to criticise the service.
One of London’s busiest A&E departments, Express.co.uk saw patients told they faced a minimum three hour wait on a quiet Tuesday morning.
A sick bowl was left on a chair and bloodstains were left on the floor as at least 30 people were made to wait for initial assessment at the hospital’s urgent care unit.
A man with a broken arm spent four hours in the unit before his arm was put in a cast as patients revealed the area around x-ray was “in chaos”.
As patients crowded into the waiting room one eyewitness reported seeing two girls arrive with saucepans full of food ready for a long wait.
She said: “I saw two girls down here with saucepans full of food.
They had a baby with them and had covered the pans but how long did they think they were going to have to wait.”
The busy waiting room was full of patients from Eastern Europe including Lithuania and Ukraine and a TV screen flashing notices asked patients if they needed a translator.
A third of the population of Enfield was born outside the UK and the borough’s population rocketed by 14.2 per cent between 2001 and 2011..."

Coincidence? UN Official "Accidentally" Crushes Throat and Dies Before Testifying Against Hillary Clinton:

Coincidence? UN Official “Accidentally” Crushes Throat and Dies Before Testifying Against Hillary Clinton

Jim Hoft Jul 2nd, 2016 6:23 pm 72 Comments

What a strange coincidence?
Former UN official John Ashe “accidentally” crushed his own throat and died a week before he was scheduled to testify against the Clintons and Democrat Party.
Zero Hedge reported:

Call it conspiracy theory, coincidence or just bad luck, but any time someone is in a position to bring down Hillary Clinton by testifying they wind up dead. In fact, there’s a long history of Clinton-related body counts, with scores of people dying under mysterious circumstances.

Perhaps the most notable is Vince Foster. Foster was a partner at Clinton’s law firm and knew the inner workings of the Clinton Machine. Police ruled that death a suicide, though it is often noted that Foster may have been suicided.

Now, another official has found himself on the wrong end of the Clintons. That John Ashe was a former President of the United Nations General Assembly highlights the fact that no one is safe once in their sights.

And as you might have guessed, there are major inconsistencies with Ashe’s death. It was not only conveniently timed because Ashe died just a few days before being set to testify against Clinton in a corruption case, but official reports indicated he died of a heart attack.

The problem, however, is that police on the scene reported Ashe died when his throat was crushed during a work-out accident.

The New York Post’s Page Six reported that after Ashe was found dead Wednesday, the U.N. claimed that he had died from a heart attack. Local police officers in Dobbs Ferry, New York, later disputed that claim, saying instead that he died from a workout accident that crushed his throat.

Adding to the mysterious nature of Ashe’s death was the fact that he had been slated to be in court Monday with his Chinese businessman co-defendant Ng Lap Seng, from whom he reportedly received over $1 billion in donations during his term as president of the U.N. General Assembly.

And then there was this: During the presidency of Bill Clinton, Seng illegally funneled several hundred thousand dollars to the Democrat National Committee.

IRS Tea-Party Harassment May Have Broken the Law | National Review

IRS Tea-Party Harassment May Have Broken the Law | National Review:

"The Justice Department later told Congress that the documents contained confidential taxpayer information protected by federal law. The nature of that information hasn’t been made public, but the so-called Schedule B form, for example, which non-profit groups are required to attach to their tax returns, known as 990s, asks for the names and addresses of donors to the organization.

But we already knew that. The transfer of information at Lerner’s request came to light during a congressional investigation in 2014. What we know now, thanks to additional documents unearthed in years-long litigation by the good-government group Cause of Action, is that Lerner almost certainly broke the law when she transferred the documents. That casts a new light on the Justice Department’s decision last year not to prosecute Lerner, who had become the face of the IRS’s ham-handed effort to crack down on right-leaning groups, but against whom a criminal case might have been difficult to build."

Shocking Polls Show What U.S. Muslims Think of U.S. Laws

Shocking Polls Show What U.S. Muslims Think of U.S. Laws | PJ Media
As July 4 approaches, new polling data reveal non-Muslim Americans are increasingly cognizant of the threat Sharia -- Islam’s totalitarian religio-political “law” -- poses to their basic liberties. 
Overwhelmingly, they reject its encroachment in the United States.

But polling data also reveal that an ominous, growing proportion of American Muslims wish to impose Sharia on America.

...The unblinkered assessment of Sharia validates its broadly shared rejection by non-Muslim Americans, but also illustrates how increased U.S. Muslim Sharia support represents a dangerous trend.

...Sharia is utterly incompatible with the conceptions of human rights enshrined in the U.S. Bill of Rights.

...From October 22 to October 26, 2012, Wenzel Strategies polled 600 U.S. Muslims of high socio-economic status. 

They were asked:

Do you believe that criticism of Islam or Muhammad should be permitted under the Constitution’s First Amendment?

Regarding this most fundamental U.S. right, 58% replied “no.” 

Only 42% affirmed this most basic manifestation of freedom of speech, i.e., to criticize religious or any other dogma.

Indeed, oblivious to U.S. constitutional law as opposed to Islam’s Sharia, a largely concordant 45% of respondents agreed with the following:

[T]hose who criticize or parody Islam in the U.S. should face criminal charges.

Only 38% did not; 17% were “unsure...”

Cornyn calls for special counsel after Lynch, Clinton meeting | Washington Examiner

Cornyn calls for special counsel after Lynch, Clinton meeting | Washington Examiner:

"Sen. John Cornyn, the second-highest ranking Republican in the Senate, said a special counsel is needed now more than ever in the Hillary Clinton email investigation after news broke that Attorney General Loretta Lynch met earlier this week with former President Bill Clinton.

"This incident does nothing to instill confidence in the American people that her department can fully and fairly conduct this investigation, and that's why a special counsel is needed now more than ever," Cornyn, R-Texas, said in a statement Thursday."

Democrat-PA lawmaker: Ban Confederate flag from Gettysburg battle reenactment

PA lawmaker: Ban Confederate flag from Gettysburg battle reenactment - The American MirrorThe American Mirror:
"A Pennsylvania state government leader wants American history revised to tell her preferred version of events.
Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown (D-Philadelphia) doesn’t think the Confederate flag should be used during the re-enactment of bloody Gettysburg battle that occurred in early July 1863 during the Civil War — because organizers aren’t telling the story the way she wants it to be told.
“I’ve been to a lot of reenacting and the reenacting does not tell the stories accurately,” Brown claims, according to ABC 27.

Speaking about the Confederate battle flag, she added, “If they’re not going to tell the story properly, then they should not be displayed and they should not be reenacted unless they’re going to tell the truth.”
Brown said there “hasn’t been many that have really told the story about the oppression of the Confederate flag.”
The annual Gettysburg reenactment starts today and runs through Sunday — the same dates as the 1863 battle in which there were some 51,000 combined casualties.
It’s not the first time Brown has attempted to silence that part of American history.
When she saw the Confederate battle flag in an array of historical flags displayed in the Pennsylvania state capitol in mid-June, she tore it down. 
Literally.
“That flag represents hatred, murder, and oppression,” she declared after removing it without permission, WGAL reported..."

America's 10 worst states to live in

America's 10 worst states to live in:
6. Michigan

Michigan is a large and diverse state that touches four of the five Great Lakes. Detroit is a world away from, say, Marquette. 

Even so, the Wolverine State as a whole suffers from a myriad of quality-of-life issues. 

The violent crime rate is relatively high, and not just in the cities. 

High ozone levels hurt air quality. 

The legislature recently increased the tourism budget to attract more international visitors. 

Based on the most recent figures from the Commerce Department, the money is badly needed.

• 2014 Quality of Life score: 82 points (out of 300)
• Weaknesses: Air quality, crime rate, local attractions
• Strength: Health insurance coverage
• 2013 Quality of Life rank: 43
• 2014 Top States overall rank: 26

'Rape culture hysteria' is based on a 'Big Lie' that qualifies as hate speech

'Rape culture hysteria' is based on a 'Big Lie' that qualifies as hate speech: BOOK REVIEW - The College Fix:
"You don’t get funding with the 1-in-50 statistic
“There is no rape culture in North America.”
Thus begins a book by a self-described rape survivor who seeks to expose the “rape culture hysteria that is not based on evidence, statistics or reason.”
Wendy McElroy released the first print edition of Rape Culture Hysteria: Fixing the Damage Done to Men and Women last month.
It was published as an ebook in April.
Calling herself an individualist feminist, the anarchist and co-founder of The Voluntaryist is no stranger to controversy.
Just days before Rolling Stone published its now-debunked article on an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia, McElroy debated the feminist Jessica Valenti at Brown University on “rape culture.”
The event prompted Brown President Christina Paxson to schedule a competing event so students could learn about the “facts” of sexual assault.
Paxson sent a campuswide email letting everyone know she disagreed with McElroy, who says she was raped as a teenager.
McElroy leaves no stone unturned in her quest to debunk the myths surrounding today’s debates on sexual assault, from the very idea of rape culture to particular manifestations such as the widely cited statistic that 1 in 5 women are raped in college.
...Proponents of the idea of rape culture stick with unsupportable statistics because it advances their agenda and sounds more horrifying than more reliable estimates, McElroy says:
They “repeat the 1-in-4 or 1-in-5 statistic as a mantra because 1-in-50 is 10 times less effective in achieving their goals and maintaining funding...”

Clinton sought secret info on EU bailout plans as son-in-law's doomed hedge fund gambled on Greece

Clinton sought secret info on EU bailout plans as son-in-law's doomed hedge fund gambled on Greece | Fox News:
"Hedge fund manager Marc Mezvinsky had friends in high places when he bet big on a Greek economic recovery, but even the keen interest of his mother-in-law, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wasn't enough to spare him and his investors from financial tragedy.
In 2012, Mezvinski, the husband of Chelsea Clinton, created a $325 million basket of offshore funds under the Eaglevale Partners banner through a special arrangement with investment bank Goldman Sachs.
The funds have lost tens of millions of dollars predicting that bailouts of the Greek banking system would pump up the value of the country’s distressed bonds.
One fund, exclusively dedicated to Greek debt, suffered near-total losses.
Clinton stepped down as secretary of state in 2013 to run for president.
But newly released emails from 2012 show that she and Clinton Foundation consultant, Sidney Blumenthal, shared classified information about how German leadership viewed the prospects for a Greek bailout. Clinton also shared “protected” State Department information about Greek bonds with her husband at the same time that her son-in-law aimed his hedge fund at Greece.
That America’s top diplomat kept a sharp eye on intelligence assessing the chances of a bailout of the Greek central bank is not a problem.
However, sharing such sensitive information with friends and family would have been highly improper.
Federal regulations prohibit the use of nonpublic information to further private interests or the interests of others. The mere perception of a conflict of interest is unacceptable..."

Cruz Tears Into DHS Chief Over ‘Systematic Scrubbing’ of Radical Islam During Contentious Exchange | Video | TheBlaze.com:

"Cruz began by comparing the number of references to “Jihad,” “Muslim,” and “Islam” found in the 9/11 commission report to the number found in several of the Obama administration’s intelligence and counterterrorism materials.

“The word ‘jihad’ appears in that report 126 times, the world ‘Muslim’ appears in that report 145 times, the world ‘Islam’ appears in that report 322 times,” he said sternly. “And yet since that 9/11 commission report, different policies have come into effect. And as a matter of systematic policy, those terms are no longer allowed to be used in this administration.”
