99% Muslim, 43,000 Somali refugees settled in US under Obama | Washington Examiner
99% Muslim, 43,000 Somali refugees settled in US under Obama | Washington Examiner:
"The Obama administration resettled 8,858 Somali refugees in the United States last year, and nearly 43,000 during Obama's eight years, a huge number that is now raising concerns after a Somali refugee led a one-man attack spree on the campus of Ohio State."
In USA, this would exterminate most democrats!-----Netherlands Now Euthanizes Alcoholics and the Mentally Ill
Netherlands Now Euthanizes Alcoholics and the Mentally Ill | The Resurgent:
"For years, pro-life activists have argued against the slippery slope of euthanasia.
Once mercy killings were normalized, it was argued, they would become more common and larger numbers of people would be killed.
That argument would seem to be proven after 15 years of legal euthanasia in the Netherlands.
In 2002, the Netherlands legalized euthanasia for those with “unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement,” according to the Telegraph.
Since then, the country has expanded the right to die to more and more people including children and the mentally ill.
According to a new report in Life News, euthanasia has even been approved for at least one “hopeless alcoholic.”
...The Life News account states that since he was physically and mentally ill, Mark met the minimum standard for death in the Netherlands.
“A woman doctor in a black dress and sneakers arrived to give him his lethal injection.
She confirmed his decision and then gave him three doses.
He died quickly.”
According to the Telegraph, Mark is not alone. Euthanasia for people with mental illness and dementia are increasing.
Euthanasia cases are up 75 percent in the past five years.
Euthanasia for psychiatric reasons increased from 0.1 percent to one percent of the total.
Dementia cases increased from 0.8 percent to two percent.
There have been several euthanasia cases for people with chronic depression.
One euthanized patient was a sex abuse victim.
Another was a victim of post-traumatic stress syndrome and personality disorder.
The last was the mother of a three-year-old child..."

Hate Crime Hoaxes Plague Country After Trump's Election
Hate Crime Hoaxes Plague Country After Trump's Election | The Daily Caller:
"Following Donald Trump’s stunning win in the election, a plague of hate crime hoaxes has been sweeping the country.
From California to Illinois to Louisiana, stories are cropping up of hate crimes perpetrated by Trump supporters that later prove to be fabricated by the so-called “victim” of the crime.
Here is a roundup of the “hate crimes” identified as hoaxes so far, although there are other unsubstantiated stories that perhaps have not been identified as hoaxes because the perpetrator is more competent.
(RELATED: Here’s A List Of Completely Substantiated Attacks On Trump Supporters)
But the school president has reported the notes were “fabricated.”
Taylor Volk said she found a note taped to her door that read “Back to hell” and “#Trump” and included homophobic slurs following the election, as well as several anonymous emails with similar messages.
She reported the messages on her Facebook, and spoke to the press about the incidents. “I just want them to stop,” she told NBC News last week.
Volk also said she was confident the school would investigate.
Indeed, the university’s president announced Tuesday the notes were a hoax, and that Volk is no longer enrolled at the university.
Long, sick list.

The Secret, Dangerous World of Venezuelan Bitcoin Mining
The Secret, Dangerous World of Venezuelan Bitcoin Mining - Reason.com
Four years ago, Alberto's career prospects were bleak.
The 23-year-old Venezuelan had just graduated from college with a degree in computer science, but his nation's economy was already shredded by 13 years of socialism.
"There were job opportunities, but they paid like $20 a month, and we were used to traveling and buying things from abroad so we couldn't settle for that," his friend Luis recalls.
Alberto and Luis—whose names have been changed for their own safety—teamed up to start a clothing business, but the venture floundered.
Then Alberto discovered bitcoin mining.
...Four years later, his country is embroiled in a humanitarian crisis.
The supermarket shelves are bare.
Children are fainting from hunger in their classrooms.
A mob recently broke into the Caracas zoo to eat a horse.
Many Venezuelans subsist on a monthly government stipend equivalent to about $9.
Alberto, meanwhile, based on his own account, is earning more than $1,200 a day mining bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies.
He's part of Venezuela's rapidly growing digital currency mining community.
Faced with growing threats of violent crime and government extortion, its members interface through secret online groups and take extreme precautions to hide their activities.
In a country where cash has lost much of its value, and food and other necessities are dangerously scarce, bitcoins are providing many Venezuelans with a lifeline.
The same socialist economics that caused the country's meltdown has made the energy-intensive process of bitcoin mining wildly profitable—but also dangerous..."

When Are We Going to Get Serious About Immigration?
When Are We Going to Get Serious About Immigration? | Center for Immigration Studies:
"The news over the past couple of days highlights how screwed up our immigration policy is.
In response to the Minnesota attack by a Somali immigrant jihadist, Jeremy Carl asks at National Review, "But if even a small, but meaningful number of Somali immigrants join terror groups, which they most certainly do in numbers far out of proportion to their population, why do we need to bring in more?"
The importance of this question is heightened by the magnitude of the "more."
We've admitted about 50,000 Somali refugees just since 2009, nearly 8,000 of them through the first 11 months of the current fiscal year (through the end of August).
The UN held a refugee summit yesterday (and President Obama is hosting an after-party today) to hector the functional nations of the world to admit even more people from places like Somalia. Obama's own contribution is a pledge to admit at least 110,000 "refugees" in FY 2017 (up from 85,000 in FY 2016), which starts in about two weeks.
...To top it off, the inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security found that hundreds of foreigners from source countries of terrorism, with outstanding deportation orders, were granted citizenship. (Here's the news story; here's the complete report.)
That's because they gave different names than the ones they'd given before and their fingerprints hadn't been digitized, so they were able to slip through the highly touted vetting process.
Congress gave DHS money to digitize old fingerprint records, but they used it up and apparently didn't bother asking Congress for more.
It's not that the Obama administration wanted to give citizenship to bad guys; they just didn't think maintaining the integrity of the naturalization process was all that important.
Instead, they spent money explaining how immigrants can sign up for welfare and suing companies that tried too hard to avoid hiring illegal aliens.
If our own government can't access its own data to vet immigrants it has already allowed in, why would anyone think we can successfully vet foreigners living in failed states?
Oh, and by the way, over the past decade, we've naturalized about 50,000 Somalis and 20,000 Afghans.
But I'm sure there's nothing to worry about!"

LIBERTY REVIEW
LIBERTY REVIEW:
https://libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2016/11/ourrepublic-by-tammyderouin-i.html
Getting
our country back on track has been a reoccurring theme for far too many
years. Although there will never be another Reagan, there is renewed hope
that steps will be made to turn us back in the right direction. The United
States is a Republic. We took a wrong
turn and allowed our country to travel down a path of self-destruction. Our Republic began to fade as the tyranny of
a dictator began to emerge.
What is truly sad is that a
generation has grown up under eight years of a scandal ridden administration. The Obama administration imposed its will,
not the will of the people, on the nation. Abuse of power thrived. How
was it possible for so many to get away with so much? It was as if there was a
non-stop assembly line, shipping out all of the manufactured anti-American
schemes, directly from the White House......

Derouin
I was
blessed to be a student during the 1980’s. My junior and senior high
school days took place under the watch of the Reagan administration. I
remember hearing how patriotism was reborn under Reagan. The country was
still healing from Vietnam and Reagan helped to mend some of those
wounds. The country was also recovering from the Iranian Hostage Crisis
and an oil crisis. The Cold War continued but its days were numbered. We were in need of a strong leader.
Fidel Castro’s Brutal Dictatorship: Armando Valladares & Cuban Dissidents Tortured
Fidel Castro’s Brutal Dictatorship: Armando Valladares & Cuban Dissidents Tortured | National Review
"Armando Valladares’s story says more about Fidel Castro than any obituary could.
It’s a part of the Fidel Castro story Michael Moore and Sean Penn won’t tell, or don’t know.
It’s a story you certainly didn’t hear from the media as they endlessly opined about Castro’s “complicated” legacy.
But it reveals so much more about the dictator than they ever could.
The year was 1959. Castro, a young revolutionary, had seized Cuba’s imagination with talk of democracy and a new vision for its people.
It didn’t take long, however, for one follower to discover Castro’s true nature, and for Castro to run up against the limits of his own earthly power.
Armando Valladares may not have been the first man to challenge the Cuban dictator, but he eventually became the best known.
By his own account, the young Valladares was an early supporter of Castro’s revolution, taking a job in the Office of the Ministry of Communications for the Revolutionary Government, where he worked as a postal clerk.
But all of that changed when he was asked to put a communist slogan on his desk.
It comprised three simple words: “I’m with Fidel.”
He refused.
A young artist and poet who also happened to be a Christian, Valladares understood the meaning of the request.
What he did not know, and could not know, was how far his own government would go to bend him to its will.
Soon after his refusal to comply, Valladares was arrested by political police at his parents’ home. Faced with trumped up charges of terrorism — a favorite tactic of the Castro regime for silencing dissent — he was given a 30-year sentence.
Valladares would spend time in different prison camps for the next 22 years.
The first, La Cabaña, forged some of the very worst memories.
“Each night, the firing squad executed scores of men in its trenches,” he told the Becket Fund, which last year honored him with its Canterbury Prize, given annually to a person who embodies an unfailing commitment to religious freedom..."

Stein files for Michigan recount, cites blank votes:
"...She said Wednesday the more than 75,000 blank votes in Michigan’s presidential results were a “red flag” that fueled her desire to seek a statewide hand recount of 4.8 million ballots.
The 75,335 ballots cast without a vote in the presidential contest were twice as many blank votes as the 2008 election and a 61 percent increase from 2012.Republican President-elect Donald Trump won by 10,704 votes over Democrat Hillary Clinton, while Stein got 51,463 votes or about 1.1 percent.
“Michigan has this very high level of under votes, that is, blank ballots.
This is quite an unusual number,” Stein said in a Wednesday interview on WDET radio’s “Detroit Today..."

"Billionaire George Soros even met last week with other big Clinton donors behind closed doors, planning and strategizing a coordinated attack against Trump’s plan to “Make America Great Again”. Liberals and Soros are just beside themselves! They still can’t believe Clinton lost a “rigged” election that she was supposed to win.
George Soros did all he could to try and derail the “Trump Train” but it didn’t work. He paid protesters such as #BlackLivesMatter to riot at Trump rallies and continued to support a racially divided America. Soros now has to move onto “plan B” since his token progressive candidate and socialism didn’t win."

Huge solar storm which could WIPE OUT modern technology expected by 2020
TECH BLACKOUT – Huge solar storm which could WIPE OUT modern technology expected by 2020 | Science | News | Daily Express:
Researchers have warned that there is roughly a 12 per cent chance that a solar storm could smash into Earth by the end of the decade.
The powerful event would likely be as huge as the Carrington Event, which occurred on 1859.
The solar storm which hit 150 years ago was so powerful that its southern auroras could be seen as far north as Queensland in Australia.
Today, in a modern world so dependent on technology, the implications would be far more severe.
Solar storms can wreak havoc on global technology as the radiation which pummels our planet heats up the outer atmosphere, causing it to expand.
This means that satellite signals will struggle to penetrate the swollen atmosphere, leading to a lack of Internet service, GPS navigation, satellite TV such as Sky and mobile phone signal.
...A solar flare erupted on the far side of the sun on June 4, 2011, and sent solar neutrons out into space.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a mid-level solar flare, an M8.7-class, – as seen in the bright flash in the middle.
He said: “Even if it’s off by a factor of two, that’s a much larger number than I thought.”
A solar storm the size of the Carrington Event would cost an estimated $2trillion to the US economy in the first year it struck, with a 2008 report from the National Research Council stating that it could take up to 10 years to fully recover..."

"Bringing A Knife To A Gun Fight
As you may already know, Somali Refugee Abdul Razak Ali Artan has been identified as the POS who ran over and stabbed 9 people on the Ohio State University campus Monday morning.
Officials still aren’t ready to call this an Islamic terrorist attack, even though the actual Islamic terrorist himself called it just that, but it really was an Islamic terrorist attack.
Before a campus police officer killed him, Artan was a proud, devout Muslim who ironically didn’t like that the media portrayed Muslims as terrorists.
So as a Muslim he committed an act of terror to prove them wrong. And the left are once again in a state of denial.
The Left suffers from a chronic condition called ABI. ”Anything But Islam.”
Sufferers of ABI will blame anyone and anything for an Islamic terror attack before they blame the Islamic terrorist for the attack.
So when a Somali Muslim refugee rams his vehicle into pedestrians and starts knifing them, the sufferers of ABI go on hyper-drive to blame... guns!
Yes, think about that.
An Islamic radical terrorist, once again on American soil, went on a rampage using a car, then next... a butcher knife at Ohio State, and the fault is ...our "gun culture."
The initial reports were all over the place. So your first inclination was to wait and see.
Obviously, not for those on the left.
Because the first reports said there was a shooter.
Then, reports came out that the suspect rammed his vehicle into people.
Others were saying the suspect was a man with a knife.
The initial conclusion was there must be two men – one with a gun and one with a knife.
That didn’t stop the sufferers of ABI from swooping in right away and jumping to all kinds of conclusions.
So... it must be a GUN!
Doesn't matter if it's true or not.
Or who used the gun.
It's the "Gun Culture."
I present the super genius who was almost our Vice President.
The second stupidest man to ever become VP, next to Joe Biden.... Senator Tim Kaine
"Deeply saddened by the senseless act of gun violence at Ohio State this morning.
Praying for the injured and the entire Buckeye community"
Maybe he was talking about the racist white cop that shot the poor, misguided Somali terrorist?

Others were saying the suspect was a man with a knife.
The initial conclusion was there must be two men – one with a gun and one with a knife.
That didn’t stop the sufferers of ABI from swooping in right away and jumping to all kinds of conclusions.
So... it must be a GUN!
Doesn't matter if it's true or not.
Or who used the gun.
It's the "Gun Culture."
I present the super genius who was almost our Vice President.
The second stupidest man to ever become VP, next to Joe Biden.... Senator Tim Kaine
"Deeply saddened by the senseless act of gun violence at Ohio State this morning.
Praying for the injured and the entire Buckeye community"
Maybe he was talking about the racist white cop that shot the poor, misguided Somali terrorist?

Michigan School Pensions Not Supposed To Be A Ponzi Scheme
Michigan School Pensions Not Supposed To Be A Ponzi Scheme [Michigan Capitol Confidential]: "A story in the Detroit Free Press described why the state’s largest teachers union thinks the underfunded school pension must keep enrolling newly hired employees: If new people are not enrolled in the system, then “new teachers won’t be contributing anything into the existing pension system for older and retired teachers.”
The newspaper spoke to Doug Pratt of the Michigan Education Association.
Like many, Pratt appears to believe that the pension system is supposed to run like a giant Ponzi scheme, where payments to earlier entrants require fleecing a steady stream of new “marks.”
The misunderstanding is understandable — this is how the federal Social Security system is run — but it’s still incorrect.
ForTheRecord says: The reason Ponzi schemes are illegal — and the reason the Michigan Constitution prohibits using that model for government pensions — is that the racket eventually runs out of new marks to fleece.
In reality, each employee’s future pension benefits are supposed to be fully paid for in the same year they are earned.
“Paid for” means the employer and employee both contribute enough each year so that over several decades the pension fund’s investments grow enough to cover the individual’s pension checks.
This means that even if the employer never hires another person, money already in the pension fund is supposed to cover all the promises made to all the system’s existing members.
Properly managed pension systems do not require a fresh stream of new entrants to work.
And new entrants don’t help a system when it is underfunded.
Unfortunately, the state has failed to adequately fund the school pension system, resulting in its current $26.7 billion shortfall.
But alas, paying off that debt requires more taxpayer cash, not more school employees.
“Catching up” on that underfunding will take years, but in the meantime, two things are clear:
First, new employees should not have their own pension contributions looted to cover pension promises made decades ago to current employees and retirees.
Nor does the system require new employees to pay for current of future pensioners.
Second, going forward, the state should stop digging a deeper hole.
It can do this by no longer promising lifetime benefits from the broken system to every new teacher who is hired.
That is what the Michigan Legislature is expected to debate in the current lame duck session."
