Ashley Judd Says Women Have More Rights in the Middle East

Gets a Response She Never Expected


By  | 






Idiot actress Ashley Judd actually believes that women in the Middle East, who cannot drive, get an education, or dress the way they want, have more rights that those of us in America.
“The U.S. ranks 104th behind countries like Burundi, Serbia and Iraq,” Judd tweeted, quoting an article which suggested women in the U.S. are oppressed, while their Middle Eastern counterparts have it made.

 The tweet immediately went viral, prompting outrage on Twitter.

“What rights are not equal,” one Twitter user questioned.
“Where does the Constitution distinguish between men and women?” wrote someone else. “If it doesn’t, rights apply equally to both already.”

Others noted that in the Middle East, women are often stoned to death for “offenses” like looking at a man the wrong way or exposing their faces.

I think I’d rather live in America…

America’s First Muslim City Council Gradually Begins Implementing Sharia Law





America’s First Muslim City Council Gradually Begins Implementing Sharia Law


The first town in America with a Muslim Majority city council is now making it’s first laws, and it seems residents’ fears of Sharia Law may be merited after all.

While the members of the Hamtramck, Michigan city council have denied that they would put religion into politics, their actions show otherwise. They’ve already banned alcohol sales within 500 feet of local mosques, and allowed daily calls to prayer to reverberate through town as early as 6am.
As both measures are intrinsically related to Islam, its hard to see how they’ve come to the conclusion that their actions are somehow non-religious in nature.

Rather, it seems as if they simply don’t care. As the town’s Polish population shrinks, the Muslim majority seems more than willing to institutionalize their religious beliefs in order to push the rest out.

See the town’s Polish mayor’s comments on the state of her town, continue reading on the next page:


Hamtramck, Michigan recently became the first town in America with a Muslim-majority city council, and their actions are causing concern among the town’s non-Muslims.
[Mayor] Majewski, whose family emigrated from Poland in the early 20th century, admitted to a few concerns of her own. Business owners within 500 feet of one of Hamtramck’s four mosques can’t obtain a liquor license, she complained, a notable development in a place that flouted Prohibition-era laws by openly operating bars. The restrictions could thwart efforts to create an entertainment hub downtown, said the pro-commerce mayor.
And while Majewski advocated to allow mosques to issue calls to prayer, she understands why some longtime residents are struggling to adjust to the sound that echos through the city’s streets five times each day.
“There’s definitely a strong feeling that Muslims are the other,” she said. “It’s about culture, what kind of place Hamtramck will become. There’s definitely a fear, and to some degree, I share it.”
Saad Almasmari, a 28-year-old from Yemen who became the fourth Muslim elected to the six-member city council this month, doesn’t understand that fear.
Almasmari, the owner of an ice cream company who campaigned on building Hamtramck’s struggling economy and improving the public schools, said he is frustrated that so many residents expect the council’s Muslim members to be biased. He spent months campaigning everywhere in town, knocking on the doors of mosques and churches alike, he said.
“I don’t know why people keep putting religion into politics,” said Almasmari, who received the highest percentage of votes
(22 percent) of any candidate. “When we asked for votes, we didn’t ask what their religion was.”
They may not have asked for the religious views of their voters, but their actions as legislators make their religion more than clear. They’re taking the first steps to solidify their Muslim belief into local law, and no one has the power to stop them.

London Islamic Mayor’s Warning To Trump: Let Muslims Into America Or Face Terrorist Attacks

By  | 


London’s new Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has found himself embroiled in one controversy after another, many involving President Donald Trump. Khan, himself a Muslim, has responded to Trump’s travel restrictions branding them “ignorant” after the President had congratulated the mayor on hi victory.


Khan is seen as a good choice for London Mayor, but some of his divisive statements are leaving many Londoners feeling isolated and left behind and questioning whether Khan is looking out for the interests of ALL residents.
Some of the Mayors more concerning comments include suggestions that if Donald Trump doesn’t moderate his stance on Muslims, they will launch more terror attacks. This is worth thinking about for a second. Is Khan suggesting that Muslims are so fragile that a travel ban will force them into justified terrorism? Or is he saying that people who would otherwise commit terrorist acts would be mollified into becoming perfect citizens if only The Donald showed them some love?

 Khan has also stated that terrorist bombing are just part of living in a big city. Really? Because they never used to be. There has been a shift in not only political attitudes, but also in the willingness to take on an Islamic threat. By rolling over and accepting terrorist bombings (that actually kill a lot of Muslims), then one particularly violent strain of Islam is being allowed to flourish with all others cast aside.

Islamophobic Saudi Arabia Deports 40,000 Muslim Pakistanis, Citing Terrorism Concerns





Saudi Arabia has deported a staggering 40,000 Pakistani migrant workers in the span of just four months, citing terrorism concerns.

 The Saudi Gazette reported last week that “a number of Pakistanis were held in the crimes of drug trafficking, thefts, forgery and physical assault.” Authorities feared that some of the migrant workers were linked with ISIS, or as the Saudis call the terror group, Daesh. Other migrants were deported due to expired residency and work permits.

 “Against this backdrop, Abdullah Al-Sadoun, chairman of the security committee of the Shoura Council, called for thoroughly scrutinizing the Pakistanis before they are recruited for work in the Kingdom,” added the Gazette. “He asked for more closer coordination with the concerned authorities in Pakistan to thoroughly check those coming to work in the Kingdom due to the involvement of a number of Pakistanis in security issues.”

While the Kingdom has long exported the jihadist ideological cancer of Wahhabism to mosques and Islamic centers across the West, it has prided itself in its effort to rid the homeland of terrorists threatening to undermine the stability and sovereignty of the monarchy.  
 
Counter-terrorism raids are not uncommon in Saudi Arabia. In fact, counter-terrorism agents recently arrested 15 Pakistanis in the Al-Harazat and Al-Naseem districts of Jeddah on terrorism-related charges.

Pakistanis have mostly traveled to Saudi Arabia looking for work. Many of them take low-paying and dangerous jobs in the construction industry.

But leave it to Saudi Arabia to treat its migrant labor force with appalling apathy.

“Official Saudi statistics say that 243,000 Pakistanis were deported between 2012 – 2015,” reports The Independent. “Mass deportations of migrant workers - which Human Rights Watch and other rights organisations say often involve illegal beatings and detainment in poor conditions - are fairly common.”

This all begs the question: Is Saudi Arabia Islamophobic? Well, if you’re claiming that President Trump’s falsely identified “Muslim ban” (recently rendered unconstitutional by a federal appellate court) is Islamphobic because of the fact that it places a temporary freeze on the acceptance of incoming refugees from just seven (out of dozens) of the high-risk Muslim-majority countries in the world, then surely Saudi Arabia’s mass deportation of tens of thousands of Muslims due to terrorism concerns should ring some alarm bells.
 
Is Saudi Arabia immune from the charge of Islamophobia because its leaders are Muslim? Or, better yet, is the Left’s entire hysterical crusade against Trump’s “Islamophobia” a red herring meant to delegitimize the political opposition?
The bottom line is every sovereign state, whether it be Saudi Arabia, Israel, or the United States, has a right to defend its borders and regulate who comes into the country. Every sovereign state has a right, perhaps even a duty, to protect its citizens against foreign threats, particularly terrorist threats.

Texas Woman Bound, Kidnapped After Helping Illegal Immigrant

Posted by On March 27, 2017



Texas Woman Bound, Kidnapped After Helping Illegal Immigrant | US News 4S, News, Politics, Rumors, President Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Republican Primary, Democratic Primary, Breaking US News....


An unauthorized immigrant kidnapped  a woman who had been providing him food and water for three days in South Texas, officials said.

 Shorty after he bound the woman's feet and hands and forced her into a car on Wednesday in Dimmit County, she was able to escape, according to U.S. 

 She fled from the vehicle as the immigrant attempted to start it.


A witness notified the Dimmit County sheriff's office about a woman who had her hands tied with rope walking down  a road, officials said.

Sheriff's deputies and Border Patrol agents found the man's footprints leading away from the woman's home, where she told authorities she had been providing food and water for the man for several days.

Officials discovered an unresponsive man lying in the brush fitting the suspect's description. He was treated and taken to the hospital, where doctors determined he was faking his condition, according to authorities.

The suspect, who Border Patrol agents determined was in the country illegally, has been charged with burglary of a residence with intent to commit a felony and aggravated kidnapping, according to border officials. 
He faces immigration proceedings after the conclusion of the charges against him.
 
The man is being held at the Dimmit County Jail.

Israel Turns 68 with 8.5 Million People, 10 Times More Than 1948

May 11, 2016 By



Israelis on Yom HaAtzmaut, Independence Day 

As Yom HaZikaron (Israel's Memorial Day) comes to a close, Israelis will begin celebrating the Jewish state's 68th birthday. The Times of Israel reports that 68 years into its existence, the modern state of Israel has increased by tenfold:
On the eve of Israel’s 68th birthday, the country’s population stands at 8,522,000, according to figures released Monday by the Central Bureau of Statistics.
There are 6,377,000 Jewish Israelis, 74.8% of the total population, and 1,771,000 Arab Israelis, 20.8% of the population, the bureau said. Christians, non-Arabs, and other minority groups account for 374,000 people, or 4.4% of the population.

By comparison, the nascent State of Israel had a population of just 806,000 in 1948.

Israel’s Independence Day begins with celebrations on Wednesday night, as the country transitions from Memorial Day — 24 hours of mourning for its fallen soldiers and terror victims...

In 1948, there was only one city in Israel that had more than 100,000 residents — Tel Aviv. Today, there are 14 cities with more than 100,000 residents and eight cities that have a population of 200,000 or more — Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Rishon Lezion, Petah Tikva, Ashdod, Netanya, and Beersheba.

The bureau also touted growing affluence in the country since the Jewish state’s salad days, noting that while there were 34,103 cars tooting about in 1951, in 2014 there were 2,965,727 clogging Israel’s roadways.

Similarly, while in 1956/1957 only 12 percent of Israelis had washing machines, today 96% do.


About the same number of people have cell phones today, while in 1963, only 13% had a phone line.

YouTube BANNED This Video for EXPOSING Sharia Law. Watch and Help.




Censorship is alive and going strong in 2017, even on the internet! YouTube banned a video because it exposed the truth of radical Islam and its violent push for worldwide Sharia Law.
YouTube previously yanked this CounterJihad video exposing Sharia Law from their site because it supposedly violated their so-called “hate speech” policy. It’s currently back online, but we have no idea if they’ll let it stay or cave to political correctness once again.
The recently banned Sharia Law video begins by stating a solid truth: terrorists are everywhere. As the superb video also aptly notes, the “bad guys have lots of names.”
CounterJihad went on to name the most violent and best-organized radical Islamic terror groups on the planet: ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram. The one thing ALL of the extremist Muslim groups share is a distinct willingness to kill for a cause — Sharia Law!
In their written statement on the censorship issue, CounterJihad blasted YouTube’s blatant hypocrisy, pointing out that YouTube claims they want recorded speech challenging ISIS, but in reality, they are using their “hate state” policy to SUPPRESS the truth about the long and bloody history of Islamic terrorism.
According to a report by the Huffington Post, a group of video content producers were contacted by YouTube to help generate video posts which counteract the pro-ISIS propaganda and offer an alternative viewpoint for Muslims to digest.
The message was sent to select content producers and did not use either the words “Islamic State” or “ISIS” anywhere in the note, but the intent was more than obvious. Asking Muslim content producers to “change the discourse” was clearly asking for videos opposing radical Islamic ideology.
CounterJihad member Shireen Qudosi was one of the content producers contacted by YouTube. Qudosi maintains it is reformers like herself who considered the Sharia Law video “helpful speech” and not hate speech at ALL.
“YouTube’s removal of CounterJihad’s factual analysis of the threat of ISIS and radical Islam is a devastating blow against credible counter-terrorism efforts,” Qudosi said. “No company or individual can legitimately say they support free speech and at the same time set up blockades against the very people doing the work necessary to counter the ideology. There is no other way to look at this.”
CounterJihad was formed to launch a movement by American citizens who wanted to work as activists against radical Islam. The group has been working tirelessly to protect the United States from the very real danger posed by Muslim extremists.
Liberal videos filled with hate speech directed at President Donald Trump and those who support him still fill a multitude of YouTube channels, and yet, YouTube has not lifted a finger to derail liberal hate speech, only those which deviate from their “politically correct” double standards. As patriots, we need to write to those in charge of YouTube and show our utter disgust for their crooked policies!

School In THIS State Forces Students To Submit To Sharia Law. What’s Your Response?



This is absolutely scandalous and needs to be stopped immediately, or there will be trouble in the near future.
The public education system as a whole has gone to the dogs as they encourage people to stomp on the American flag, support Black Lives Matter, and label President Trump a racist. These people should not be allowed to have influence over our young people and poison them with their own crooked ideals.

There is a school located in Denver, Colorado that made students go to three different places of worship: a Greek Orthodox Church, a synagogue, and a mosque. While this seems normal enough, something happened at the mosque that will shock you. The students were commanded to wear “long pants covering their ankles,” and girls were required to “bring wide scarves or hooded sweatshirts for the mosque,” via US Herald.

The school mandated that their students follow Sharia Law for this trip, and parents are outraged.
They have demeaned the students as American citizens by forcing them to conform to something they do not want, especially considering the practice is so contrary to our rights and freedoms as Americans.

This story broke like a wildfire in the area, and a local news reporter attacked the administrators of the school, saying, “Public schools are forbidden from holding girls to different standards than boys.”

While it is important to learn about different cultures, this is taking it way too far. And the fact that this is happening on American soil is downright disturbing.

You are not allowed to force other people into following your own beliefs. Christians do not force non-Christians to partake in their rituals and do things they do not want to when they enter a church.

It seems Sharia Law is becoming more and more popular in this country, and it is a worrying trend. People need to stand up for what they believe in and not allow their children to be manipulated by the schooling system. The teachers involved in this story need to be held accountable for their actions.
Sharia Law is barbaric, and the fact that Muslim women cannot walk down the street without covering up is discriminatory.

Is there a day coming soon when American women will be keeping their hair and legs covered? Not in OUR America!

Meme Explains What Happens When You Lie Under Oath And Your Last Name Is Not Clinton

By  



double-standard-meme-2-ai 

The investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email servers provided the American people with an insider’s look at just how much of a reality the idea of “Two Americas” exists in the nation.
The Two Americas line is often put out by the Left to instigate class warfare between the rich and the poor, insinuating that it is the fault of the successful and wealthy that the unsuccessful and poor cannot get ahead.
They constantly beat the drum of,

“RICH PEOPLE DIDN’T EARN THAT WEALTH. THEY DON’T DESERVE THEIR MONEY. THEY DON’T NEED ALL THAT FANCY STUFF.”

In fact, Barack Obama once infamously stated that if you were a successful businessman, you didn’t build that.
You don’t deserve credit for your successful enterprise because there was a teacher to help you along the way, and there was a government to build bridges and roads.
He also said that success was not a result of working hard or smart because there’s a lot of “folks” who are working hard and smart but who can’t get ahead.
It seemed like a self indictment because he said this four years into his own presidency.

The rich and successful are always the phantom enemy of the Democratic Party, yet it is not the “battle” between the rich and the poor that defines the Two America idea.
It’s the double standard when it comes to the application of the law.
The real concept of Two Americas was made apparent during and after the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton.
The investigation was marred, several times, with the Obama administration running interference for the former Secretary of State.
For example, early on in the investigation, and allegedly without being briefed about what the FBI was finding, Barack Obama made a public statement that Hillary Clinton’s private email server did not endanger the security of the nation.

I DON’T THINK IT POSED A NATIONAL SECURITY PROBLEM.”

It turns out, that the email server did pose a national security problem, and FBI Director James Comey explained that, through Hillary’s gross negligence, she may have allowed “hostile actors” to access top secret information.
This was coupled with Obama’s Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, who told the American people that Hillary was not the subject of any investigation.
Then there was the secret meeting between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton, just days before the announcement that the FBI was not recommending an indictment.
Don’t worry though, just like Hillary’s 30,000 emails, deleted with bleach-bit, there was nothing important talked about during this impromptu meeting. Just talk about grand-kids, golf, and traveling.
Put that together with the fact that, on the day that the FBI revealed their results, Barack Obama had Hillary on Air Force One where he was campaigning with her.
This was a clear indication that Obama was aware of how the FBI was going to rule ahead of time.
All of this is to say, there was a deliberate and coordinated effort, possibly for political reasons, to keep Hillary Clinton from being exposed to any criminal charges.
Do you think this much effort have been gone towards protecting someone whose last name was not Clinton?

Here’s a Handy List of Atrocities for Everyone Glorifying Fidel Castro Today

by Humberto Fontova



 

Fidel Castro jailed and tortured political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin during the Great Terror. He murdered more Cubans in his first three years in power than Hitler murdered Germans during his first six.

Fidel Castro shattered — through mass-executions, mass-jailings, mass larceny and exile — virtually every family on the island of Cuba. Many opponents of the Castro regime qualify as the longest-suffering political prisoners in modern history, having suffered prison camps, forced labor and torture chambers for a period three times as long in Fidel Castro’s Gulag as Alexander Solzhenitsyn suffered in Stalin’s Gulag.
Fidel Castro and Che Guevara beat ISIS to the game by over half a century. As early as January 1959 they were filming their murders for the media-shock value.
Fidel Castro also came closest of anyone in history to (wantonly) starting a worldwide nuclear war.
In the above process Fidel Castro converted a highly-civilized nation with a higher standard of living than much of Europe and swamped with immigrants into a slum/sewer ravaged by tropical diseases and with  the highest suicide rate in the Western hemisphere.
Over TWENTY TIMES as many people (and counting) have died trying to escape Castro’s Cuba as died trying to escape East Germany. Yet prior to Castroism Cuba received more immigrants per-capita than almost any nation on earth—more than the U.S. did including the Ellis Island years, in fact.
Fidel Castro helped train and fund practically every terror group on earth, from the Weathermen to Puerto Rico’s Macheteros, from Argentina’s Montoneros, to Colombia’s FARC, from the Black Panthers to the IRA and from the PLO to AL Fatah.
Would anyone guess any of the above from reading or listening to the mainstream media recently?
In fact, from their reactions, all that dancing in the streets of Miami’s Little Havana this week-end seems to strike some talking heads as odd, if not downright unseemly.
Cuban-Americans are dancing in the streets of Little Havana after hearing of Fidel Castro’s death. https://twitter.com/i/moments/802409989654446080 
https://twitter.com/i/moments/802409989654446080 

But prior to the big news this week-end many of those same celebrants could be found with itchy noses and red-rimmed eyes ambling amidst long rows of white crosses in Miami’s Cuban Memorial.  It’s a mini-Arlington cemetery of sorts, in honor of Fidel Castro’s murder victims.
The tombs are symbolic, however. Most of the bodies still lie in mass graves dug by bulldozers on the orders of the man whose family President Obama just consoled with an official note of condolence.
Some of those future celebrants were often found kneeling at the Cuban Memorial, others walking slowly, looking for a name. You might remember a similar scene from the opening frames of “Saving Private Ryan.” Many clutched rosaries. Many of the ladies would be pressing their faces into the breast of a young relative who drove them there, a relative who wrapped his arms around her spastically heaving shoulders.
Try as he might not to cry himself, this relative usually found that the sobs wracking his mother, grandmother or aunt were contagious. Yet he was often too young to remember the young face of his martyred father, grandfather, uncle, cousin -or even aunt, mother grandmother– the name they just recognized on the white cross.
Fusilado” (firing squad execution) it says below the name– one word, but for most visitors to the Cuban Memorial a word loaded with traumatizing flashbacks.
On Christmas Eve 1961, Juana Diaz Figueroa spat in the face of the Castroite executioners who were binding and gagging her. They’d found her guilty of feeding and hiding “bandits.” (Castro and Che’s term for Cuban peasants who took up arms to fight their theft of their land to create Stalinist kolkhozes.) Farm collectivization was no more voluntary in Cuba than in the Ukraine. And Cuba’s kulaks had guns–at first anyway. Then the Kennedy-Khrushchev pact left them defenseless against Soviet tanks, helicopters and flame-throwers. When the blast from Castro’s firing squad demolished Juana Diaz’ face and torso, she was six months pregnant.
Rigoberto Hernandez was 17 when Castro’s prison guards dragged him from his jail cell, jerked his head back to gag him and started dragging him to the stake. Little “Rigo” pleaded his innocence to the very bloody end. But his pleas were garbled and difficult to understand. His struggles while being gagged and bound to the stake were also awkward. The boy had been a janitor in a Havana high school and was mentally retarded. His single mother had pleaded his case with hysterical sobs. She had begged, beseeched and finally proven to his “prosecutors” that it was a case of mistaken identity. Her only son, a boy in such a condition, couldn’t possibly have been “a CIA agent planting bombs.”
Fuego!” and the firing squad volley riddled Rigo’s little bent body as he moaned and struggled awkwardly against his bounds, blindfold and gag. “We executive from Revolutionary conviction!” sneered the man whose peaceful death in bed President Obama seems to mourn.
Carlos Machado was 15 years old in 1963 when the bullets from the firing squad shattered his body. His twin brother and father collapsed beside Carlos from the same volley. All had resisted Castro’s theft of their humble family farm.
According to the scholars and researchers at the Cuba Archive, the Castro regime’s total death toll–from torture, prison beatings, firing squads, machine gunning of escapees, drownings, etc.–approaches 100,000. Cuba’s population in 1960 was 6.4 million. According to the human rights group Freedom House, 500,000 Cubans (young and old, male and female) have passed through Castro’s prison and forced-labor camps. This puts Fidel Castro political incarceration rate right up there with his hero Stalin’s.
It’s not enough that liberals refuse to acknowledge any justification for these Miami celebrations. No, on top of that here’s the type of thing the celebrants are accustomed to hearing from the media and famous Democrats:
“Viva Fidel! Viva Che!” (Two-time candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination Jesse Jackson, bellowed while arm in arm with Fidel Castro himself in 1984.)
“Fidel Castro is very shy and sensitive, I frankly like him and regard him as a friend.” (Democratic presidential candidate, Presidential Medal of Freedom winner, and “Conscience of the Democratic party,” George Mc Govern.)
“Fidel Castro first and foremost is and always has been a committed egalitarian. He wanted a system that provided the basic needs to all Cuba has superb systems of health care and universal education…We greeted each other as old friends.”  (Former President of the United States and official “Elder Statesman” of the Democratic party, Jimmy Carter.)
“Fidel Castro is old-fashioned, courtly–even paternal, a thoroughly fascinating figure!” (NBC’s Andrea Mitchell.)
“Fidel Castro could have been Cuba’s Elvis!” (Dan Rather)
“Castro’s personal magnetism is still powerful, his presence is still commanding. Cuba has very high literacy, and Castro has brought great health care to his country.” (Barbara Walters.)
“Fidel Castro is one helluva guy!” (CNN founder Ted Turner.)
Whatever else you might say about Fidel Castro, nobody ever accused him of misreading the U.S. mainstream media.
 “Much more valuable to us than military recruits for our guerrilla army were recruiting American reporters to export our propaganda.” (Fidel Castro’s sidekick Che Guevara, 1959.)
As seen from  the quotes above, the propaganda services by much of the mainstream media for the Castro regime continues apace—despite half a century of terror-sponsorship, mass-murder, and mass-torture by the object of their adulation.
