Taylor Volk, North Park University student, fabricated anti-gay 'Trump' notes

Taylor Volk, North Park University student, fabricated anti-gay 'Trump' notes - Washington Times
"An openly bisexual Chicago student who claimed she received anti-gay, pro-Donald Trump notes and emails after the election is found to have fabricated the entire story, North Park University said.
Taylor Volk told a local NBC News affiliate that she found one of the notes taped to her door at her off-campus residence, which read “Back to hell” and “#Trump” along with homophobic slurs.
“This is a countrywide epidemic all of a sudden,” she said on Nov. 14.
“I just want them to stop.”
She had also posted pictures of notes with homophobic slurs to her Facebook account, NBC reported.
The university investigated the alleged harassment and determined this week that Ms. Volk had fabricated the story.
“Sadly, we discovered that the incident and related messages were fabricated; the individual responsible for the incident is not continuing as a student at North Park,” the Christian university’s President David Parkyn said in a statement.
“We are confident there is no further threat of repeated intolerance to any member of our campus community stemming from this recent incident.”"

ALERT: Trump's STUNNING Move About Hillary Scandals May Not Be What It Seems

ALERT: Trump's STUNNING Move About Hillary Scandals May Not Be What It Seems:

"A lot of Americans, especially Democrat members of Congress, seem to have forgotten during the imperial presidency of Barack Obama that Congress is a branch of power equal to the presidency (more powerful in some ways). If the Republicans who hold a majority in both houses decide they want to continue to investigate Clinton, there’s nothing stopping them.

And Republicans after Trump’s election certainly sounded determined to go ahead, which could be the overarching master plan that Trump can use to his political advantage."

Energy Poverty Is Much Worse for the Poor Than Climate Change

Energy Poverty Is Much Worse for the Poor Than Climate Change - Reason.com
"Some 1.2 billion people do not have access to electricity, according to the International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook 2016 report.
About 2.7 billion still cook and heat their dwellings with wood, crop residues, and dung. 
In its main scenario for the trajectory of global energy consumption, the IEA projects that in 2040, half a billion people will still lack access to electricity and 1.8 billion will still be cooking and heating by burning biomass.
The agency defines the initial threshold for modern energy access as 250 kilowatt-hours (kwh) for rural and 500 kwh for urban households per year.
How much is that?
"In rural areas, this level of consumption could, for example, provide for the use of a floor fan, a mobile telephone and two compact fluorescent light bulbs for about five hours per day," the IEA explains.
For comparison, in 2015 the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. household was 10,812 kwh—43 times the IEA's energy access threshold for rural households..."

Democrats Promise to Do the Very Thing They Claim to Hate

Democrats Promise to Do the Very Thing They Claim to Hate:

"Of course, it’s worth pointing out that what the Republican Party did while they had control of Congress was not obstructionism. It was exercising their advise and consent role to a president who much preferred that his pen and phone do all the talking.

Now, though, voters have put the Republican Party in control of both the legislative and executive branches, which means that the opponents of imaginary obstructionism have become the proponents of very real obstructionism. If that doesn’t show you how hypocritical Democrats are, I don’t know what will."

Less than 3 percent of Ithaca College professors identify as Republicans

Less than 3 percent of Ithaca College professors identify as Republicans - The College Fix:
"Ithaca College has a total of 10 Republican professors between three schools: humanities, sciences and business — and four of the 10 teach in the much smaller School of Business, a survey of professors’ party registrations reveals.
Of the 27 departments researched, many lacked even one Republican professor, including the History, Philosophy and Religion, and Politics departments.
Overall, 46.5 percent of professors researched are registered as Democrats, while only 2.6 percent are registered Republicans. 
In total, 182 Democrat professors were identified compared to 10 Republican professors, a ratio of nearly 20 to one.
Asked about the slant, a university spokesman told The College Fix in an e-mail “We neither ask about nor keep track of the political affiliations of our faculty members.”
Many of the Republican professors at Ithaca were e-mailed by The College Fix to ask for confirmation and comment on being one of the few Republicans at the university — and the ones who did reply indicated they were too nervous to speak publicly about their political leanings...

Ninety-two protestors who were arrested last summer while demonstrating after Alton Sterling was shot and killed by police in Baton Rouge, La., will receive financial compensation from local and state authorities, whom the activists accused of excessive force and violating their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and assembly.

Rather than proceed to trial in a federal class action lawsuit filed by the arrested protestors, the Baton Rouge Metro Council approved a settlement Tuesday, agreeing to have four agencies pay prominent Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson and fellow plaintiffs about $100,000 in total..."

University of Michigan students demand segregated 'safe space' for African-Americans after Trump's victory

University of Michigan students demand segregated 'safe space' for African-Americans after Trump's victory:
"A group of University of Michigan students is calling on school officials to create a segregated safe space for African-Americans in the wake of Donald Trump's election, The Federalist reports.
The group Students 4 Justice said Trump's election means that they "now have their lives at risk," and that the campus police can no longer protect them because "the police, as a union, has endorsed Trump."
"Placing us in the police's care is an act of anti-Black violence," the group wrote.
The students demand that the university provide funding and hire staff to operate this "Black space," which would be designed as a "recreational and safe space for Black people at the University." 
Calls for similar designated areas for distressed students have seen an uptick since the election results rolled out.

REALLY? Township In New Jersey Being SUED By The Justice Department For Rejecting a Mosque

REALLY? Township In New Jersey Being SUED By The Justice Department For Rejecting a Mosque – American Lookout:
"This is yet another example of our politicized Justice Department acting like left wing social justice warriors.
If a conservative Christian group was denied by a liberal community, do you think the Justice Department would get involved to defend the Christians? 
Highly unlikely.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Justice Dept. sues NJ township for rejecting mosque
The Justice Department announced on Tuesday it is suing Bernards Township, N.J., because it denied zoning approval for the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge to build a mosque on land it owns.
The township in December unanimously voted down the Islamic Society’s application to build a mosque, which the Justice Department says violates the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.
In the complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the department said the denial was discriminatory based on the Islamic Society’s members’ religion.
The denial imposed a substantial burden on the Islamic Society’s religious exercise, according to the complaint, it said.
A fashion designer has refused to do business with Melania Trump.
Is the designer being sued by the Justice Department?
Of course not.
But why?
Because our Justice Department under Obama reflects his left wing values.

France on the Verge of Total Collapse

France on the Verge of Total Collapse:

• France did not perceive it at the time, but it placed itself in a trap, and the trap is now closing.
• In the 1970s, the Palestinians began to use international terrorism, and France chose to accept this terrorism so long as France was not affected. At the same time, France welcomed mass-immigration from the Arab-Muslim world, evidently as part of a Muslim wish to expand Islam. France's Muslim population has since grown in numbers while failing to assimilate.
• Polls show that one-third of French Muslims want the full application of Islamic sharia law. They also show that the overwhelming majority of French Muslims support jihad, and especially jihad against Israel, a country they would like to see erased from the face of earth.
• "It is better to leave than flee." -- Sammy Ghozlan, President of the National Bureau of Vigilance against Anti-Semitism. He was later mugged, and his car was torched. He left.
• Villiers also mentions the presence in "no-go zones" of thousands of weapons of war. He adds that weapons will probably not even have to be used; the Islamists have already won.
• Originally, France's dreams might have been of displacing America as a world power, accessing inexpensive oil, business deals with oil-rich Islamic states, and the prayer of no domestic terrorism.

"France is in turmoil. "Migrants" arriving from Africa and the Middle East sow disorder and insecurity in many cities.
The huge slum commonly known as the "jungle of Calais" has just been dismantled, but other slums are being created each day.
In eastern Paris, streets have been covered with corrugated sheets, oilcloth and disjointed boards. 
Violence is commonplace. 
The 572 France's "no-go zones," officially defined as "sensitive urban areas", continue to grow, and police officers who approach them often suffer the consequences.
Recently, a police car drove into an ambush and was torched while the police were prevented from getting out.
If attacked, police officers are told by their superiors to flee rather than retaliate. 
Many police officers, angry at having to behave like cowards, have organized demonstrations.
No terrorist attacks have taken place since the slaughter of a priest in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray on July 26, 2016, but intelligence services see that jihadists have returned from the Middle East and are ready to act, and that riots may break out anywhere, any time, on any pretext.
Although overwhelmed by a domestic situation it barely controls, the French government still intervene in the world affairs: a "Palestinian state" is still its favorite cause, Israel its favorite scapegoat..."

What happens when they are in power-----Special Bus Service for Women in Post-Coup Istanbul

Special Bus Service for Women in Post-Coup Istanbul:
"Amid a climate of growing violence toward women in Turkey, female passengers on public buses in Istanbul after 10 pm will now be able to exit the bus anywhere on the route, whether there is a bus stop or not.
The measure, instituted to increase the safety of women, addresses the reality that women face in the city of more than 14 million citizens.
Violence against women in Turkey – already at a crisis level – has dramatically increased since the failed coup attempt against Islamist president and AK party (AKP) member Recep Erdogan last July.
“The coup, the war, AKP’s backwardness or jihadist mobs … they all target women,” said the University Women’s Collective in a statement.
Women connected to the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) pointed as the “male-dominated, militarist mentality” currently dominating Turkish politics as the cause for the uptick.
Since Erdogan’s Islamist party came to power in Turkey in 2003, violence against women has skyrocketed.
Statistics taken between 2003 and 2010 by the Turkish Ministry of Justice indicate there was a 1,400 percent increase in the number of murders of women, including 300 cases per year where women had asked for a divorce.
By 2009, the minister of justice said that 953 women were murdered that year, and in 2010, the government stopped keeping statistics.  
Journalist Cicek Tahaoglu, who writes for the news outlet Bianet, said that her own finding show that the number of murder rose 31 percent between 2013 and 2014 alone."

The Washington Examiner has more:
“The Denver Sheriff Department will accept a penalty from the Department of Justice after a federal probe found it wrongly made U.S. citizenship a job requirement during a recent hiring spree.
The sheriff’s department — the biggest sheriff’s office in Colorado — will pay a $10,000 fine after it required applications for deputy sheriff jobs to be U.S. citizens when hiring from the beginning of 2015 through March 2016....
The department will also have to go through old applications to find applicants who were eliminated because of their citizenship status and reconsider them for future jobs.
The Justice Department made the announcement on Monday, saying the sheriff’s department violated the Immigration and Nationality Act without having an exemption.”

Not too much edyoukatin' goin' in dem schools-----Students bewilderedly thankful for Obama

VIDEO: Students bewilderedly thankful for Obama:

• "In honor of the holiday, Campus Reform visited the University of Maryland to find out if students are thankful for Obama’s presidency, and if so, what exactly they’re thankful for.
• They had no idea, so most students just fell back on their most truthful answer: Obama is just "cool."
• “...my mom pays my insurance.” Tweet This

...Carrying a “Thanks, Obama” card, Campus Reform asked young Obama supporters what the president has done throughout his two terms that warrants their thanks, but found many were unable to name or defend a single policy achievement.
“The main thing I think that he did was try to unify this country,” one student said, before admitting that it was “tough” to say whether the country is more unified today than it was prior to Obama taking office.
Several students were also unable to answer for the skyrocketing premiums under the Affordable Care Act, with one student admitting she was unsure how insurance works because, “my mom pays my insurance.”
One student even erroneously attributed the Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage to President Obama, and was unable to name any of the president’s other initiatives, explaining, “I don’t know, actually.”
Others faced a similar problem when trying to name policies they were thankful for, with answers including, “I don’t have any specifics,” “I have no idea,” and “Can I phone a friend?”
A popular theme throughout the day were allusions to Obama as the “cool president,” with many students thanking him for personality traits as opposed to policies.
“Thank you for being the funniest president of all time,” one student said, prompting another to chime in that “he does seem to have a good sense of humor.”
