Judge Napolitano: What happened to the FBI? It's been corrupted by Obama and his team | Fox News:

"When FBI Director James Comey announced on July 5 that the Department of Justice would not seek the indictment of Hillary Clinton for failure to safeguard state secrets related to her email use while she was secretary of state, he both jumped the gun and set in motion a series of events that surely he did not intend. Was his hand forced by the behavior of FBI agents who wouldn’t take no for an answer? Did he let the FBI become a political tool?

Here is the back story."

Anti-establishment Pirates in tight race to win Icelandic election

Anti-establishment Pirates in tight race to win Icelandic election: polls:
"REYKJAVIK (Reuters) - Iceland's anti-establishment Pirate Party is in a tight race to become the largest party in parliament after an election on Saturday called when the prime minister resigned as a result of the Panama Papers scandal.
The Pirates have been riding a wave of anger against the establishment in a country that was one of the hardest hit in the 2008 financial crisis when its banking system collapsed, hitting thousands of savers.
Polls put it in close second place to the Independence Party, currently the junior partner in the governing coalition.
It wants, among other things, to give asylum to U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden, accept the bitcoin virtual currency and clean up corruption.
The Pirates - founded less than four years ago as a protest movement against global copyright laws, and whose election campaign is partly crowdfunded - have 21 percent in a Morgunbladid poll published on Friday.
The Independence Party polled 22.5 percent.
The governing coalition's senior partner, the Progressive Party, polled only 10 percent.
It was hurt badly when Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson resigned as prime minister in April after documents leaked from a Panamanian law firm linked him to an offshore company that held millions of dollars in debt from failed Icelandic banks.
Other recent polls show a similar pattern, with some giving the Independence Party a bigger lead. Another poll published on Friday by research company MMR showed the Independence Party had 25 percent support with the Pirates at 20.5 percent.
The Pirates would look to form a majority with the current opposition parties - the Left-Green Movement, the Social Democratic Alliance and Bright Future."

Iran Poised to Increase Influence Peddling on American Colleges

Iran Poised to Increase Influence Peddling on American Colleges:
"Given US universities' history of welcoming Islamist funding and operatives, stopping this before it further metastasizes is imperative.
The American academy, which has revealed itself to be markedly susceptible to the intrigues of the Saudi-based radical Wahhabi sect and the Muslim Brotherhood, now faces the challenge of an Iranian radical presence.
Since 2014, admission of Iranian students to U.S. colleges has been permitted by the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control. 
Iran has yet to flood the U.S. with its own professors.

Nevertheless, there are indications that an Iranian wave may soon hit the American academic community.
A network of apologists for the Iranian clerical regime already exists within the Middle East studies departments of American educational institutions.
How much will this attitude grow in light of the Obama administration's turn toward Tehran?
Three recent examples of Iranian ideological functionaries penetrating U.S. universities stand out:...
Ebrahim Mohseni is a research scholar at the University of Maryland (UM)'s Center for International and Security Studies, while simultaneously serving as a senior analyst at the University of Tehran's Center for Public Opinion Research (CPOR) and a lecturer in the University's Faculty of World Studies (FWS).
He has a masters of public policy and a graduate certificate in intelligence analysis from UM.
That an obvious – as will be seen – Iranian regime advocate should have been awarded a graduate certificate in intelligence analysis by a major U.S. educational institution is startling, and so are Mohseni's affiliations with the CPOR and the FWS..."

They Knew: The End of the Clinton Lies Begins | Frontpage Mag:

"Podesta and Tanden ridiculed her associates for the cover-up. “Why didn’t they get this stuff out like 18 months ago? So crazy,” she wondered. “Unbelievable,” Podesta wrote. “They wanted to get away with it.”
Since the early days of the email scandal, we’ve been treated to the sordid rituals of feigned innocence. The issue was a non-issue, Clinton surrogates were quick to assure us. And even if it was, no one did anything wrong. The flies on the wall knew better though and now we can all be the flies on the wall.
Away from the cameras and the briefings, the Clintonites held their bosses in contempt. Neera Tanden, a supposed close associate of Hillary, blasted her instincts as “suboptimal” and described her as suffering from a character problem.  And there was never any doubt as to what was going on."

Hillary Clinton Is No Hurricane Expert -- But I Am

Hillary Clinton Is No Hurricane Expert -- But I Am | The Daily Caller
"As former Director of the National Hurricane Center (1974–1987), I was appalled when, in a campaign rally at Miami-Dade College October 11, Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said, “Hurricane Matthew was likely more destructive because of climate change.” 
That is false.

We were extremely fortunate that Matthew—category 5 through much of the Caribbean—weakened to category 2 before landfall in South Carolina. 
It could have been much worse.
In 1893 a much stronger hurricane followed nearly the same track. 
When its eye reached the Georgia and South Carolina coasts, a 15–20 ft. storm surge inundated the coastal islands. 
Though population was a small fraction of today’s, between 2,000 and 3,000 died, making that the second deadliest hurricane in U.S. history. 
The same year another major hurricane killed 2,000 in Louisiana.
All together five hurricanes hit the U.S. in 1893, something that’s happened only 4 times in over 150 years (1886, 1893, 1916, 1933)—all long before CO2 levels rose enough to theoretically cause rapid global warming.
Clinton wants us to believe CO2, emitted when we burn fossil fuels for electricity and transportation vital to life, health, and prosperity, causes global warming that causes more and stronger hurricanes. 
She’s wrong..."

U-M's New 'Chief Diversity Officer' Will Collect $385,000 per Year

U-M's New 'Chief Diversity Officer' Will Collect $385,000 per Year [Michigan Capitol Confidential]: "The University of Michigan’s new chief diversity officer will collect $385,000 a year under his various job titles, including a new one created by a recently revealed $85 million, five-year U-M diversity plan.
Robert Sellers’ appointment to a new position called “vice provost for equity and inclusion and chief diversity officer” (VPEI-CDO) was approved Oct. 20 by the university’s governing board.
...President Mark Schlissel nominated Sellers for the job several weeks ago. The new full-time administrative position “will serve as a leadership voice on diversity, equity and inclusion for the entire university.”
The diversity plan Sellers will oversee will spend $17 million a year over the next five years.
It seeks to “recruit, retain and develop a diverse university community” and “support innovation and inclusive scholarship and teaching” through a number of new and expanded programs.
The $85 million plan is in addition to the $40 million a year the university already spends promoting diversity.
Earlier this year, university officials increased tuition by 3.9 percent for in-state undergraduates on the Ann Arbor campus..."

Hillary Clinton’s Emails: Lawyers without Security Clearance Got Classified Information? | National Review

Hillary Clinton’s Emails: Lawyers without Security Clearance Got Classified Information? | National Review:

"Under President Bill Clinton’s 1995 executive order, top-secret intelligence is information the mishandling of which “could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security.” The SAP designation is added when the unauthorized disclosure of intelligence could compromise critical intelligence-gathering methods or imperil the lives of intelligence sources.

That is why access to this information is so tightly restricted, and its unauthorized disclosure is routinely prosecuted.

With that as our backdrop, let’s get two things straight."

Democratic Operative Robert Creamer Used Terror to Wage War on Honesty

Democratic Operative Robert Creamer Used Terror to Wage War on Honesty | Observer
"Let’s be blunt: Democratic Party operative Robert Creamer used terror to wage war on honesty. 
Until forced to resign his post as a “consultant” with a Democratic Party-aligned organization named Americans United for Change, Creamer ran what amounts to a domestic U.S. political terror and propaganda operation dedicated to undermining the 2016 U.S. presidential election—“rigging the election,” to use the current term.

Yes, Creamer’s operation uses terror—and three investigative videos recently released by Project Veritas contain information supporting my assessment.

(“Rigging The Election,” Part One, Part Two and Part Three, released October 24).

Creamer resigned as an official consultant because Part One and Part Two exposed him. His operation, however, remains active and continues to do damage. 

The election rigging scheme he commanded relies on street thuggery. 

That means physical fear—terror—is a core component of Americans United for Change’s crooked enterprise. 

Street thuggery is very low-level terrorism, but it is a type of terrorism nonetheless and it is wrong to call it otherwise. 

Hardboy muscle, bottles and two by fours are street thuggery’s kinetics. 

Bottles and baseball bats are not Al Qaeda’s high explosives—but they incite fear and when they crack heads they cause casualties. 

People bleed. 

Street thuggery as an arm of politics is violent, criminalized politics on an ugly downward slope to much worse, the worse including lynchings and pogroms. 
If you don’t think street thuggery is terror then consider Kristalnacht..."

Your tax dollars at "work"-----Poli-sci prof: Trump supporters 'greatest danger to democracy since World War II'

Poli-sci prof: Trump supporters 'greatest danger to democracy since World War II' - The College Fix:
"According to a professor of political science at UCLA: 
“The danger to democracy itself from Trump supporters is real and must be confronted. 
It is the greatest danger to democracy since World War II, even perhaps since the Civil War …”

That from Professor Michael Chwe, writing in a blog post for the Princeton University Press.

As reported in The Daily Caller, “Chwe argues that white men are dangerous to the country, as evidenced by their support of Trump. 
Democracy in America, Chwe claims, will only be safe when whites and men — and especially white men — willingly surrender their power to ‘multiracial and multi-gender coalitions.'”

Chwe — who earned $138,000 working at the public university in 2015, according to a public database of state employees’ salaries — writes that:

How will whites, especially white men, adapt to the new demographic reality: gracefully, petulantly, or destructively? …

Much has been said about how Trump supporters are racist, anti-immigrant, and Islamophobic, but it is possible to be racist or anti-immigrant and still support basic democratic values such as the rule of law, freedom of expression, and equal protection, and basic norms of civil society such as politeness, mutual respect, and avoidi
ng threats of violence. 

...If we had done a better and earlier job with confronting, as opposed to accommodating, white and male privilege, and convincing people that what they feel is being taken away is something that they never should have felt they had in the first place, we might not have reached this situation. Combating white and male privilege is now not only about justice but also about steering democracy away from self-destruction. As it is, we made our society just inclusive enough to save it.

Seniors 75 and older outnumber children in Japan

Seniors 75 and older outnumber children in Japan- Nikkei Asian Review:
"TOKYO -- Japan's rapidly aging population reached another milestone last year, with the number of seniors aged 75 and older surpassing that of children for the first time.
The internal affairs ministry announced the final results of its 2015 population survey Wednesday. The overall population, including foreigners staying in Japan for at least three months, came to a little over 127 million as of Oct. 1, 2015, down about 960,000 from the 2010 figure.
This marks the first overall decline since the quinquennial survey began in 1920.
...Meanwhile, foreign residents increased by 100,000 to a record 1.75 million, reflecting a rising number of foreign workers in the country.
Men accounted for 61.84 million of the total population, and women 65.25 million.
Japan still ranks as the 10th most populous country, as it did in 2010.
But No. 11 Mexico is nearly catching up. Japan was the only country among the top 20 nations that saw a population decline between 2010 and 2015.
...One in six seniors 65 years and older live alone in Japan -- contributing to a rise in deaths unattended by anyone."

Pollsters Scramble as Fewer People Take Their Phone Calls

Pollsters Scramble as Fewer People Take Their Phone Calls
"...a spate of ideas bubbling up for new ways to sample public opinion. 
The alternatives are coming because the traditional method—randomly calling phone numbers again and again until someone answers—has grown far more labor intensive and costly in recent years.

One idea is to push surveys on people who mistype the name of a website. 

Polling companies are assembling large, standing panels to survey online. 

For certain websites, Google is asking internet users to answer surveys before they can get access. 

Others monitor Twitter posts to gauge public sentiment.

The new survey approaches give some in the industry pause because they make it harder to tell good research from bad. 

In ways pollsters don’t fully understand, the various methods seem to produce different results. 

...The difficulty of predicting voter turnout was a large part of many recent polling blunders, including surveys earlier this year showing Mrs. Clinton ahead in a Michigan primary she badly lost. 

...To record the opinion of one young Hispanic male took them 300 phone calls, while only 10 were needed to reach a woman over 65.

If that continues, “we no longer have a viable political business,” he recalls thinking..."

The town in Bosnia where only Arabs are allowed to live | World | News | Daily Express
"PROTESTS are taking place in a town in Bosnia-Herzegovina because only Arabs are allowed and most of the houses contain the third or fourth wives of wealthy sheikhs.
Locals are fuming because they are are only allowed into the site in the south-eastern Europe country if they are servants or cleaners.
The complex is surrounded by heavy security, gates and high walls and the locals think it is unlawful for foreigners to buy up part of the country and then ban them from entering.
Women reportedly bring up their children there and their husbands are just occasional visitors.
Investors from the Middle East built the 160-home luxury estate near Tarcin, which is close to the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo.
The houses are full of the wives of rich sheikhs
The news of the Arabic village follows on from revelations last year that Islamic State militants had established a stronghold in a picturesque village in mainland Europe where everyone is "ready to respond to the summons to jihad."

Hillary Clinton needed a helping hand to trek up a single step during a visit in Florida today.
Clinton was outside to greet supporters in Lake Worth when she attempted to stand on a small riser.
She needed assistance to get onto it as she could be seen reaching her hand out for a boost.

An aide extended his hand and Clinton held on tightly as she made her way up the 18 inches.
He could be seen standing behind her and at one point reached out to grab her waist, perhaps thinking she was about to fall.

Teacher found passed out drunk on school field trip wins $75,000 settlement

Teacher found passed out drunk on school field trip wins $75,000 settlement | EAGnews.org
JANESVILLE, Wis. – A Wisconsin teacher who was found passed out drunk in a bowling alley during a school field trip will receive $75,000 in a settlement with the city of Janesville.

Washington Elementary School teacher Maria Caya was chaperoning an end of the year field trip for fourth and fifth grade students to River’s Edge Bowling Alley in Janesville in June 2013 when police said she vomited in the bathroom and was found passed out, according to WKOW.

Caya was taken to a Janesville hospital where a blood alcohol test registered .27, or more than three times the legal limit to drive. 

Caya allegedly told a hospital employee she began drinking at 6 a.m., and a WKOW analysis found she would have had to consume about 11 alcoholic beverages by the time she was tested around noon. The hospital employee was concerned because Caya was responsible for supervising students, and contacted police.

District officials alleged Caya did not compromise student safety because she was one of eight teachers on the trip. 

A few weeks after the incident, Caya resigned and received more than $18,000 in a payout from the district. 

...On Monday, the Janesville City Council voted to offer Caya a $75,000 settlement to avoid the cost of litigating the case, WIFR reports.

“If the city does not approve this proposed settlement that is recommended by our insurance carriers, then the city would be liable for all damages that the court or jury could eventually award the plaintiff,” city attorney Wald Klimczyk wrote in a memo cited by WKOW.

According to the Gazette:

Janesville’s insurance carriers recommended settling the claim using the city’s tort liability insurance fund. Janesville has a $100,000 self-insured retainage, and the insurance carriers will pay the balance of any settlement amount, according to a city memo..."

"It’s safe to say Detroit has never seen a council president quite like Charles Pugh.
The former TV reporter with no political experience swept into city hall in 2009, collecting more votes than any of his eight colleagues.

He promised a less divisive, more reform-minded council.
Detroit got neither.
...Now Pugh, the normally gregarious council president who had sparked new hope for Detroit, is facing 5 to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy while Pugh was a Fox 2 reporter.
In June, he was arrested in New York City, where he had been living since disappearing in 2013."

There’s a new way to take down drones, and it doesn’t involve shotguns

There’s a new way to take down drones, and it doesn’t involve shotguns | Ars Technica
"The advent of inexpensive consumer drones has generated a novel predicament for firefighters, law-enforcement officers, and ordinary citizens who encounter crafts they believe are interfering with their safety or privacy. 
In a series of increasingly common events—several of them chronicled by Ars—drones perceived as trespassing have been blown out of the sky with shotguns. 
Firefighters have also complained that hobbyist drones pose a significant threat that sometimes prompts them to ground helicopters.
Now, a researcher has demonstrated a significantly more subtle and proactive remedy that doesn't involve shotgun blasts or after-the-fact arrests by law enforcement. 

It's a radio transmitter that seizes complete control of nearby drones as they're in mid-flight. 

From then on, the drones are under the full control of the person with the hijacking device. 

The remote control in the possession of the original operator experiences a loss of all functions, including steering, acceleration, and altitude. 

The hack works against any drone that communicates over DSMx, a widely used remote control protocol for operating hobbyist drones, planes, helicopters, cars, and boats.

Besides hijacking a drone, the device provides a digital fingerprint that's unique to each craft. 

The fingerprint can be used to identify trusted drones from unfriendly ones and potentially to provide forensic evidence for use in criminal or civil court cases. 

Unlike most other counter-drone technologies publicly demonstrated to date, it isn't a frequency jammer that merely prevents a remote control from communicating with a drone. 

Instead, it gives the holder the ability to completely seize control of the unmanned craft..."

The worst of ObamaCare is yet to come | New York Post

The worst of ObamaCare is yet to come | New York Post:

"Still ahead: Budget crises in the states that accepted temporary federal bribes to massively expand their Medicaid rolls. More premium hikes on the exchanges, as ever fewer healthy people sign up for coverage — prompting even lower enrollment, and more price hikes, in a sharp “death spiral.”

The “Cadillac tax” will kick in soon, too — so if your union has won great health coverage at the bargaining table, that plan will pay a penalty to Uncle Sam.

The legal challenges aren’t done yet, either."

John Stossel: The ruling class, this election and you

John Stossel: The ruling class, this election and you | Fox News
"...The elite have a lot of influence over how we see things.
I don't like Donald Trump.
I used to.
I once found him refreshing and honest.
Now I think he's a mean bully.
I think that partly because he mocked a disabled person.
I saw it on TV.
He waved his arms around to mimic a New York Times reporter with a disability -- but wait!
It turns out that Trump used the same gestures and tone of speech to mock Ted Cruz and a general he didn't' like. 
It's not nice, but it doesn't appear directed at a disability.
I only discovered this when researching the media elite for my TV show.
Even though I'm a media junkie, I hadn't seen the other side of the story. 
The elite spoon-fed me their version of events.
Another reason I don't like Trump is that he supported the Iraq war -- and then lied about that.
Media pooh-bahs told me Trump pushed for the war years ago on The Howard Stern Show.
But then I listened to what Trump actually said.
"Are you for invading Iraq?" Stern asked.
Trump replied, "Yeah, I guess ... so."
Later, on Neil Cavuto's show, Trump said, "Perhaps (Bush) shouldn't be doing it yet, and perhaps we should be waiting for the United Nations."
I wouldn't call that "support" -- the way NBC's debate moderator and many others have.
I was stunned by how thoroughly the media have distorted Trump's position. 
That's a privilege you get when you're part of the media elite:
You get to steer the masses' thinking.
At the second debate, we all know that Trump walked over to Hillary Clinton's podium, as if he was "stalking Ms. Clinton like prey," said The New York Times.
CNN said, "Trump looms behind Hillary Clinton at the debate."
Afterward, Clinton went on Ellen DeGeneres' show and said Trump would "literally stalk me around the stage, and I would just feel this presence behind me.
I thought, 'Whoa, this is really weird.'"
But it was a lie. 
Watch the video. 
Clinton walked over to Trump's podium. 
Did the mainstream media tell you that? 
No.
The ruling class has its themes, and it sticks to them.
When Clinton wore white to a debate, the Times called the color an "emblem of hope" and a Philadelphia Inquirer writer used words like "soft and strong ... a dream come true." 
But when Melania Trump wore white, that same writer called it a "scary statement," as if Melania Trump's white symbolized white supremacy, "another reminder that in the G.O.P. white is always right..."
