KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysian authorities announced two more arrests Thursday in the death of the North Korean leader’s half brother, whose apparent assassination this week unleashed a wave of speculation and intrigue: a pair of female assailants, a broad-daylight killing and a dictator-sibling out for blood.

Investigators were still piecing together details of the case, including the widespread assumption that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un dispatched a hit squad to kill his estranged half brother, Kim Jong Nam. Known for his love of gambling and casinos, Kim Jong Nam had lived abroad for years, aware he was a hunted man.   Continue reading “3 arrested in NKorean’s death in Malaysia; autopsy completed”

February 15, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — President Trump is keeping in place a special international LGBT “envoy” established by the Obama administration to promote acceptance of homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism abroad in the name of U.S. foreign policy.

The reinstatement of open homosexual Randy Berry as Special Envoy for the Human Rights of LGBTI Persons was reported Monday by the homosexual newspaper Washington Blade. It is another blow to pro-family advocates who oppose the LGBT agenda and are counting on Trump to root out homosexual and abortion activists from the foreign affairs bureaucracy after eight years of Obama’s leftist policies.   Continue reading “Meet the Trump admin official paid to promote LGBT ‘rights’ around the world”

Puzder’s decision to withdraw is yet another setback this week for a White House still grappling with fallout from Monday night’s abrupt resignation of national security adviser Michael Flynn, after less than a month in the job.   Continue reading “U.S. Labor Dept nominee Puzder withdraws, in blow to Trump”

As we noted over the weekend, one of the immediate consequences of the Trump immigration executive order – and one which has so far gone largely unchallenged – has been a crackdown against illegal immigrants residing in the US.  Following reports that first surfaced over the weekend that US immigration officials had launched countrywide raids and arrested hundreds of illegal aliens across the nation as a result of that immigration executive order, President Trump weighed in on Twitter, stating that “the crackdown on illegal criminals is merely the keeping of my campaign promise. Gang members, drug dealers & others are being removed!”   Continue reading ““Without Us, Your Country Is Paralyzed” – Undocumented Workers Plan Boycott “Day Without Immigrants””

Two Michigan public school teachers and the secretary to the district superintendent have resigned after being caught on video at a bar with a group of other teachers who were playing the “MFK” game — in which participants are given three names then choose who they’d marry, have sex with and kill.

Robert G. Huber, attorney for Bangor Public Schools, on Wednesday told TheBlaze that nine staff members were named in the “MFK” game but denied that students were mentioned as part of the game, contrary to media reports.   Continue reading “Teachers resign after video secretly shot at bar shows school staffers named in crude ‘MFK’ game”
