The Times of Israel reports: Germany’s ruling parties are preparing legislation that could see migrants who express anti-Semitic views deported from the country, the daily Die Welt newspaper reported Saturday.

The CDU-CSU conservative alliance led by Chancellor Angela Merkel hopes to present the new bill by International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27.

As it becomes increasingly clear that yesterday’s conspiracy theories are today’s real news, the call to kill the messengers just gets more shrill and hysterical.

The attacks on free speech with high-tech censorship campaigns and old-fashioned hit pieces in the “War on Fake News” are massive and concerted.

The book burners are starting so many fires it’s impossible to stamp them all out.  Continue reading “Mainstream Media: The Evil Empire”

WESTMINSTER — While Vincent’s Country Store owner Brian Vincent claims that issuing a warrant for his arrest for not renewing his dog license was “extreme,” local officials maintain that all proper procedures were followed when handling the issue this week.

“I just don’t think the punishment fits the crime. Now I have a record and might need to get a lawyer,” Vincent said on Wednesday. “We’re very active in the community here at the store. We do a lot of fundraisers, we help out with the food pantry, and just to have this happen, I feel really let down.”   Continue reading “Westminster man: Arrest warrant over dog license renewal is ‘extreme’”

MEXICO CITY — Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s campaign rhetoric can make him sound like a Mexican Donald Trump.

The left-leaning front-runner in Mexico’s presidential race is overtly nationalistic, pushes “Mexican people first” policies and peppers his speeches with anti-establishment slogans that thrill the working-class Mexicans who flock to his rallies.  Continue reading “Mexico’s Trumpian populist could mean trouble for Donald Trump”

White Plains, NY – A police officer who shot and killed an innocent 68-year-old mentally ill veteran who accidentally hit the medical emergency button in his home, will face no consequences after acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim determined that there was insufficient evidence to press charges.

The victim, Kenneth Chamberlain, accidentally triggered a medical alert through “Life Aid,” which prompted police to visit his home. When the officers arrived unexpectedly, Chamberlain told the responding officers that he was OK and did not need any help. He refused to answer his door, and instead called Life Aid and told them that he did not need the police at his home.   Continue reading “Elderly Vet Accidentally Trips His Medical Alert System, Cops Show Up and Kill Him—No Charges”

Police in Cyprus have arrested an Israeli man described as the ringleader of a world-wide organ trafficking network that operated out of the tiny Balkan country of Kosovo several years ago.

Moshe Harel is accused of luring donors from eastern Europe, Turkey and the former Soviet Union to Kosovo, promising to pay them €12,000 ($14,500) for a kidney. He then allegedly charged people (most of them Israelis) in need of a kidney as much as €100,000 for the implant.   Continue reading “Israeli mastermind behind organ trafficking ring is arrested in Cyprus”

Considering that Wikileaks made its name by leaking confidential and/or hard to find documents and information, and also considering the reversal in the Trump administration vis-a-vis Julian Assange, whom it first lauded only to threaten with incarceration in recent months, it is perhaps not surprising that moments ago the official Wikileaks twitter account published Michael Wolff’s controversial – and largely sold out – book, “Fire and Fury” in pdf format.   Continue reading “Wikileaks Publishes Michael Wolff’s Entire Sold Out Trump Book As A PDF”

So. The US economy is just fine. The post-recession 2010 Dodd-Frank legislation has cured all. Banks have lots of cash. Congress is your friend and that certain-to-pass Tax Cut and Jobs bill will finally allow you, your family and America to… MAGA.

Really?!

“I’m sorry, Sir. We are unable to cash this check,” were the ominous words delivered to me by a fresh-faced, none-too-friendly, Wells Fargo Bank manager. He had just kept me waiting ten minutes while in consultation about my requested transaction. Returning to his cubicle he sat down quickly, now looking at me intently through narrowed eyes.  Continue reading “When Your Bank Fails, Don’t Walk …Run!”

Apparently surging violent crime, massive tax hikes and insolvent public pensions are bad for attracting new residents…who knew? On the other hand, 364 days of sunshine per year, minimal crime, brand new infrastructure and some of the lowest tax rates in the country seems to be, to our complete shock, somewhat appealing to folks looking to relocate.

But that is just a couple of many interesting takeaways to be gleaned from the latest annual “U.S. Migration Report” from North American Moving Services which found that Illinois was the most ditched state in 2017.   Continue reading “Americans Are Ditching These Five States In Record Numbers”

Authorities in Oregon said they successfully detonated a live “World War II-style mortar shell” uncovered on a woman’s property.

The military weapon was found Thursday in the shed at a woman’s home in Gold Hill, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. The release said it had been there for more than 30 years, as long as she’d lived there. But the history of the shell was otherwise murdy.   Continue reading “Active ‘World War II-style mortar shell’ turns up in, of all places, an Oregon woman’s shed”
