The big news story of the day was Hillary Clinton’s medical emergency at the 9-11 commemoration in New York City. Mrs. Clinton became indisposed and left early, and was said to have had a moment of “overheating”. However, the campaign was later forced to admit that the candidate had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday, and had become dehydrated. She has now been rehydrated, and is being treated with antibiotics.

Visualizing the (Massive) Size of the US National Debt
When numbers get into the billions or trillions, they start to lose context. As Visual Capitalist’s Jeff Desjardins notes, the U.S. national debt is one of those numbers. It currently sits at $19.5 trillion, which is actually such a large number that it is truly difficult for the average person to comprehend. How big is the U.S. National Debt?
The best way to understand these large numbers? We believe it is to represent them visually, by plotting the data with comparable numbers that are easier to grasp.
Today’s data visualization plots the U.S. National Debt against everything from the assets managed by the world’s largest money managers, to the annual value of gold production.
1. The U.S. national debt is larger than the 500 largest public companies in America. The S&P 500 is a stock market index that tracks the value of the 500 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization. It includes giant companies like Apple, Exxon Mobil, Microsoft, Alphabet, Facebook, Johnson & Johnson, and many others. In summer of 2016, the value of all of these 500 companies together added to $19.1 trillion — just short of the debt total.

9/11 After 15 Years: Those Who Were There Remember
Ask an American where he or she was when the Towers fell, and you’ll most likely get a reply with no hesitation. For people who were part of one of America’s darkest days, the answers follow somber reflection. Words are chosen carefully, and the anguish of 15 years ago comes through in quiet and sometimes cracking voices. Their stories are of survival, heroism, loss and pain that remain a decade and a half on.
FoxNews.com talked to several who were there, and others familiar with the evil men who plotted the attack and live on to this day.

Bill Clinton Mocks “The Coal People” In West Virginia, Kentucky for Supporting Trump
Speaking in Homewood, PA on Friday, Bill Clinton criticized the “coal people” in West Virginia for supporting Donald Trump.

Breaking: Hillary Suffers Medical Emergency, Cover-Up Begins
Campaign claims she’s fine, video proves she fainted
Hillary Clinton fainted and suffered a medical emergency today, but the Clinton campaign immediately launched a cover-up.
“A witness told Fox News that Clinton stumbled off the curb, her “knees buckled” and she lost a shoe as she was helped into a van during her “unexpected early departure.”
Campaign aides tried to keep the press away from Clinton as soon as they heard about the incident.
Video clearly shows that Hillary faints and stumbles before she is helped into the van.

Exposed: FBI Director’s Clinton Foundation
(Breitbart) A review of FBI Director James Comey’s professional history and relationships shows that the Obama cabinet leader — now under fire for his handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton — is deeply entrenched in the big-money cronyism culture of Washington, D.C. His personal and professional relationships — all undisclosed as he announced the Bureau would not prosecute Clinton — reinforce bipartisan concerns that he may have politicized the criminal probe.
These concerns focus on millions of dollars that Comey accepted from a Clinton Foundation defense contractor, Comey’s former membership on a Clinton Foundation corporate partner’s board, and his surprising financial relationship with his brother Peter Comey, who works at the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes.

Fair, Objective Journalism No Longer Exists
I believe that true journalism died in the 2008 Presidential Campaign. It was on life support for about thirty years before that but in 2008 it died. At our nation’s founding it was established that we would have the freedom of the press. Our First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press . . . .”
What we have for press today is a joke. With most of the media belonging to the Council on Foreign Relations, an organization that is hell bent on the New World Order, there is no way that the real news will be reported. Most of the news has such a spin on it, it makes one dizzy trying to follow it. There are only six companies that own all the newspapers and TV stations across the country giving light to the truth of we are being feed the news THEY want us to hear. It goes without saying that 95% of media is in bed with the Democrats, Hillary in particular. All the news in this campaign is one sided. Nothing but good for Hillary and nothing but negative about Trump. Things that are legitimate questions about Hillary, her health, Benghazi, emails, the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative, just to scratch the surface of her questionable dealings, are virtually ignored. Any little thing about Trump becomes front page headlines for days. They do this because very few really pay attention to what is going on…
The ignoring the wrongs and illegal activity of the left is not just with Hillary. They have ignored the actions of Obama for the last eight years.

Hillary Clinton Has ‘Medical Episode’ At 9/11 Ceremony, Source Says
Hillary Clinton had a “medical episode” that required her to leave a 9/11 commemoration ceremony early on Sunday, a law enforcement source who witnessed the event told Fox News.
The Democratic presidential nominee appeared to faint on her way into her van and had to be helped by her security, the source said. She was “clearly having some type of medical episode.”
After more than an hour of radio silence, Clinton’s campaign issued a statement saying the former Secretary of State “felt overheated.”
“Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen,” Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said. “During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better.”
A senior aide told Fox News “she is fine.”…

Hillary Takes a Page From the LBJ Playbook
“The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it.” — Goebbels
“It is the absolute right of the state to supervise the formation of public opinion.” — Goebbels
Propaganda
Read the Joseph Goebbels quotes again before you read this article. All of our media is the same. Newspapers from Maine to California and from Washington to Florida all have the same news in them. There is no investigative reporting in any media anymore, and there hasn’t been for a very, very long time.
It is why our communist leaning media is promoting Hillary Clinton, and disparaging Donald Trump at every turn. It’s going to get worse before the election and Hillary’s propaganda will grow exponentially before November 8th. But there is great hope, and the hope is Donald J. Trump…
Remember what LBJ gave us that Hillary will expand upon! LBJ’s Great Society and years of Democrat control over black communities nationwide have resulted in the destruction of black families, with poverty, rampant crime, drugs, failing schools, and government dependency. Just look at Chicago’s south side!
Psychological Projection
What Johnson used, and what Hillary is now copying verbatim is called psychological projection. For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting. Therein lies the key to Hillary’s attacks on Mr. Trump. She is what she blames Mr. Trump for being, and we can prove it. The same thing was true in the LBJ/Goldwater race.

Hillary Clinton’s Health Just Became a Real Issue in the Presidential Campaign
Hillary Clinton falling ill Sunday morning at a memorial service on the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks will catapult questions about her health from the ranks of conservative conspiracy theory to perhaps the central debate in the presidential race over the coming days.
“Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen,” spokesman Nick Merrill said. “During the ceremony, she felt overheated, so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment and is feeling much better.”
What that statement leaves out is that a) it came 90 minutes after Clinton left the ceremony b) reporters — or even a reporter — were not allowed to follow her and c) the temperature in New York City at the time of Clinton’s overheating was in the low 80s. (A heat wave over the eastern United States broke last night/this morning.)

Hillary Clinton Avoids Walking in Donald Trump’s Shadow
Two weeks ago, Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto extended an invitation to two US politicians: one was a man who had repeatedly insulted and offended his compatriots, the other was a woman who throughout her high-profile career had spoken of her rapport with the United States’ neighbor.
The first politician accepted the invitation, the second turned it down.
Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party’s nominee in November’s presidential elections, said on Monday that unlike her rival, Donald Trump, she wouldn’t be meeting with Peña Nieto. In an interview with ABC television, Clinton politely said that for the moment she preferred to stay focused on the US economy.

Mosque Linked to Muslim Brotherhood Has Received Millions in Federal Grants
The Islamic Center of Greater Kansas City has received $2,739,891 from the Department of Agriculture since 2010
A Kansas City mosque owned by an Islamic umbrella organization with deep ties to the U.S. arm of the Muslim Brotherhood has received millions of dollars in federal grants over the past several years, according to a federal spending database. The Islamic Center of Greater Kansas City has received $2,739,891 from the Department of Agriculture since 2010, a Daily Caller analysis has found. The money largely went to the mosque’s Crescent Clinic to provide services through the Women, Infant and Children nutrition program, known as WIC.
The most recent federal payment — in the amount of $327,436 — was handed out Oct. 1.

Catalan Independence: Hundreds of Thousands Rally for Break With Spain
Some 800,000 people have turned out in Barcelona and other towns in Catalonia on a day of rallies by nationalists wishing to break with Spain.
Police say 540,000 people rallied in Barcelona, the capital of the region in north-east Spain, while the rest gathered in four other Catalan towns.
But numbers were down sharply compared with last year’s event, when 1.4 million rallied in Barcelona alone.
Spain has consistently blocked attempts to hold a referendum on secession.
Catalan regional president Carles Puigdemont had urged support for “converting Catalonia into an independent state”.

Catalan Separatists Rally in Barcelona to Support Secession
Hundreds of thousands of separatist-minded Catalans have rallied in Barcelona to show their support for an independent nation that would break away from Spain, leaving it without its powerful and prosperous northeastern region.
Barcelona police estimated on their Twitter account that about 540,000 people attended Saturday’s demonstration in support of a legally-binding referendum on secession.
Spain argues that an independent Catalonia would be ejected from the European Union and left out from using the euro currency.

Catalans Rally in Support of Independence From Spain
Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across Catalonia on Sunday to support a break from Spain which local leaders want to deliver for next year in spite of legal blocks by the central government.
Catalans gathered in five cities across the northeastern region, including Barcelona, and waved yellow banners in time to music, symbolizing the rhythm of a beating heart uniting an independent republic.
Police said that in Barcelona alone about 540,000 people took part. The mass rally on Catalonia’s national day, La Diada, comes as the pro-independence local assembly vows to press ahead with plans to form an new state in 2017, raising pressure on leaders in Madrid to respond at a time of disarray in national politics.

France Foiling Terror Plots ‘Daily’ — Prime Minister Manuel Valls
The French prime minister has said the country’s security services are foiling terror plots and dismantling militant networks “every day”.
Manual Valls said about 15,000 people were being monitored for radicalisation as the country continues its drive against jihadist militants.
Previously the authorities said about 10,000 were identified as high-risk.
France has been under a state of emergency since IS attacks on Paris in November killed 130 people in what President Francois Hollande called an “act of war”.
However, a recent commission of inquiry found the state of emergency was only having a “limited impact” on improving security.

France: Teen Suspected of Plotting ‘Imminent’ Attack on Paris, Report Says
Authorities foiled an ISIS-linked attack in Paris on Saturday, arresting a 15-year-old boy suspected of preparing an imminent “violent action,” two judicial sources told Reuters.
The boy, who was not identified, had been under house arrest since the coordinated Nov. 13 Paris attacks that killed 130 people. After that deadly episode, France declared a state of emergency. It was not immediately clear why the teen was under house arrest.
The boy was allegedly planning an attack on a public place, a source told Reuters. Another source said that the teen was in contact with a known Islamic extremist, Rashid Kassim.

French Politicians Mull Ripping Up EU Budget Rules
Nobody yet knows the winner of France’s presidential election next year, but the smart money is on one loser: The three-percent cap on government deficits enshrined in eurozone rules.
A bedrock of euro stability for some, the requirement to keep government deficits to below three percent of gross domestic product (GDP) is seen by many as an insufferable straight-jacket on governments wanting to spend their way out of economic sluggishness.
Many French politicians, on the left and right, wonder aloud whether France should start ignoring the EU Commission and three-percent defenders, including powerhouse Germany, and break free.

Ikea Killer Brutally Beaten in Swedish Prison
The asylum seeker who stabbed two people to death at a branch of IKEA in Sweden last year has been brutally beaten at the prison where he was serving his life sentence.
Abraham Ukbagabir, an asylum seeker from Eritrea, was discovered by guards doubled up in pain in the cell where the assault took place on August 29.
Once the door was opened he collapsed into the corridor outside and lay on the floor, “in the fetal position using his hands to protect his face,” according to prison documents seen by the Expressen newspaper.
Ukbagabir in August last year stabbed a 55-year-old woman and her 27-year-old son to death at the branch of IKEA in Västerås, west of Stockholm, later telling a court that the attacks had been intended to revenge Sweden, after the country’s migration agency turned down his asylum application.

UK: Councils Ignoring Illegal Schools Because They “Don’t Want to Upset Community Relations”
Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw has warned that local councils and police are continuing to ignore illegal faith schools, undermining efforts to prosecute the operators and protect children’s rights.
In an interview with The Times , the outgoing Chief Inspector said that “political correctness” was causing local authority to turn a blind eye to illegal faith schools, particularly in the case of unregistered Islamic schools.
Sir Michael said that the 150 to 160 illegal schools which are already known about are just the “tip of the iceberg”. He told The Times that prosecution cases Ofsted is preparing are “very robust” but said local authority inaction was undermining them.
He said local authorities “have to see this as a serious problem, identify where these places are and close them down.”
Instead he said that councils’ attitudes to Muslim voters was “a bit like the Seventies and Eighties” where “a lot of local authorities didn’t confront the Socialist Workers’ Party and all those infiltrating schools in those days partly because the councils themselves were made up of some of those people.”
Though unregistered schools of other faiths have been identified, illegal Muslim schools were a particular concern…

UK: Revealed: Benefits Dad-of-8 Demanding Bigger Council House Splurged £15k Savings
Dad-of-eight Arnold Sube, 33, revealed he had £15,000 saved up from his job at a warehouse in Paris — but stopped work when he moved to Luton in 2012.
He splurged the sum in weeks trying to keep up the lifestyle he had enjoyed in a posh Paris suburb, renting a large five bedroom house in Luton.
But before long, his cash ran out, and he turned to the British taxpayer to pick up the tab.
Mr Sube said: “I came with £15,000, and I paid by myself but after a few months I applied for a house on benefits.
“I love working, I have been working for the last 13 years, my intention was just to live and study while my family were still in France but my wife couldn’t do it. …
“The council did not give us the opportunity of viewing the property, they took advantage of our lack of understanding of the housing situation.
“If we viewed it, we would never have accepted the property because we found that it was a three bedroom only after one room had been split into two.
“I wouldn’t blame anybody like the British government but people should take responsibility when they’re supposed to and Luton council had a responsibility to find us accommodation suitable for our needs.
“I know we are entitled to a six bedroom property for a family our size but I know it might be quite difficult so we might have to accept a five bed for now.”

Alarm as Thousands of Islamic State Fighters in Syria, Iraq ‘Missing’
According to estimates, the number of IS fighters reached several tens of thousands in those areas, “but the battles did not yield thousands of dead or captured fighters.”
Several Arab and Western espionage agencies have set up a joint situation room to trace thousands of Islamic State fighters who have gone missing in Syria, Iraq and Libya, an Arab intelligence official told Breitbart Jerusalem.
Some of the several hundred IS fighters who took part in the battle of Sirte, in Libya, survived the defeat, as well as fighters in the lost battles of Mosul in Iraq and Manbej, Alrai, Jarabulus and other communities near the Syrian-Turkish border, he said.
According to estimates, the number of IS fighters reached several tens of thousands in those areas, “but the battles did not yield thousands of dead or captured fighters.”
“That’s why it’s worrisome — these people are gone. They either integrated into noncombatant communities or, more likely, infiltrated into neighboring countries — to Turkey, and from there to Europe and other Middle Eastern countries, and in Libya’s case, all over North Africa.”
He said that 700 Tunisian fighters are unaccounted for, while thousands more are being sought.

More U.S. Ransom Payments to Iran Revealed
Yesterday the Obama administration finally admitted that, in addition to the $400 million in foreign currency secretly flown to Iran on January 17, 2016, it also sent Iran two more planeloads of $1.3 billion in cash over the following 19 days.
Since these payments coincided with the release of four Americans illegally held by Iran, they have been widely condemned as ransom. The Obama administration disputes this and claims that the payments were to settle a U.S. debt to Iran incurred during the rule of the Shah. However, after initially insisting there was no link between the $400 million payment and the release of the Americans, the administration said on August 18 that it delayed this payment as leverage to ensure that Iran would release the U.S. prisoners.

Trade Between Iran and EU Up by 43 Per Cent in First Half of 2016
According to Eurostat data, trade volume between Iran and EU hit € 5.107 billion. EU exports to Iran grew by 13 per cent to € 3.565 billion with EU members Greece, France and Spain leading the way.
Tehran (AsiaNews) — Trade between Iran and the European Union rose 43 per cent in first six months of 2016, the European Union’s statistics agency Eurostat reported. This follows the signing of the nuclear deal in July 2015 and its implementation in January.
EU demand for Iranian oil is one of the main factors in the growing trade.
The European Union’s trade with Iran amounted to € 5.107 billion in the first half of 2016, up from € 3.563 billion in first six months of 2015.
According to Eurostat, in the first half of 2016, EU’s exports to Iran increased by 13 per cent reaching € 3.565 billion in the first half of this year, up from € 3.154 billion in the same period last year.
Data released in May already showed the positive trend. EU’s exports to Iran jumped to € 1.602 billion in the first quarter of this year, a 16 per cent rise from € 1.374 billion in the same period last year.
At the same time, EU’s imports from the Islamic Republic increased 52 per cent and stood at € 396 million, while the amount was € 260 million in the same period in 2015.
In mid-April, Iran and the EU issued a joint statement in Tehran setting the road map for cooperation. The statement was released by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and EU foreign policy Chief Federica Mogherini who visited Iran along with seven European commissioners.
The rising trade with the Islamic Republic benefitted especially some EU countries in the mentioned period, so that exports to Greece, France and Spain witnessed 108, 60 and 9 times increase, respectively.
The two sides taking stock of their long standing relations, based upon mutual respect and interests, reiterated their intention to develop a broad and comprehensive agenda for bilateral cooperation.
After years of embargo, Iran obtained a partial easing of Western economic sanctions, in exchange for agreement on its controversial atomic programme (for civilian use according to Tehran, to produce the bomb according to other countries, including Israel).
However, the US has kept a range of sanctions place because of Iran’s missile programme, as well as its military support for Shia movements in the Middle East.
Washington recently blocked the use of US dollars in banking transactions, stopping new economic agreements established after the nuclear deal.
This decision has also affected European policy, in particular in the banking sector, preventing the change of direction needed to boost Iran’s domestic production and foreign trade, after years of harsh embargo.
This has helped Iranian fundamentalist hardliners undermine the reform programme of Iran’s moderate President Hassan Rouhani.

Kalosona Roy | HENB | Dholahat (South 24 Pgs, WB) | Sept 11, 2016:: It’s a ditto repetition of of Kaliachak Police Station attack on January 3rd january 2016 by the Jihadi mob on the issue of defamation of Peadophile Mohammad. Almost in the same style of operation the violent Muslim Mob of Dhola locality (a highly Muslim majority area) attacked the Dhola PS, destroyed all the records, brunt three police vehicles and compelled the officials on duty to flee away for a long time. With added contingencies police started operation to disperse a mob of 3000 Allah-Quran-Muhammad followers. Within the clash several police official were injured and hospitalized and one Momin was shot dead by police firing as believed. Connecting a murder of a cattle trader on 04.09.2016, the Muslims of the locality was continuously trying to make a riot to fulfil their Jihadi appetite, but Police was inactive and only seeing the victimization of the Hindu people of the locality with a bare indulgence. But, at last the Jihadi Mob took on them at Dholahat PS on 11/09/2016 until the whole area was turned as a Dar-ul-Islam.
On Sept 4, one Rauf Molla of Dholahat was murdered at the side of Laxminarayan pur 3 km far from Ramchandra pur (Bhajna) village. Rauf was a cattle trader and his body was recovered from a ditch. Most probably he was killed for any business rifts. But, some muslim community leaders started suspect on the Hindu people of Bhajna Ramchandrapur, Benepara, Mandirtala, Nischintapur and Jumai Laskar Bazar, as Rauf’s dead body was recovered near a Hindu populated area. Interestingly, all these Muslim leaders are all in a Trinamool Congress fold and the Hindus of the locality are attached with either BJP or CPM supporters. So, murder of Rauf was used by the Muslim operators of TMC as a key to start a Jihadi torture upon the Hindu villagers as a situational advantage…

Venezuela at the Cross Roads of Democracy and ‘Cubanization’
Another week, another anti-government protest. With one scheduled for Wednesday, Venezuela is now home to the biggest anti-government movement in the world. And now the country has approached a fork in the road. Either it is going to let the will of the people decide the country’s fate through democratic elections, or it takes the route to Havana.
Sadly for president Nicolas Maduro, his people don’t want to follow him to Cuba.
The opposition is organizing another protest on Sept. 14, following the successful anti-government protest of Sept. 1 that demanded a speedier path to a referendum vote on early elections.

Because Migrants in the Gulf Have Few Rights, Locals Let More of Them In
Under the kafala (sponsorship) system used in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (collectively, the Gulf Co-operation Council or GCC), migrant workers are tied to their employers. They may not switch jobs or, in some cases, leave the country without their employer’s permission. Many have their passports confiscated, though this is illegal. The power that the kafala system gives to employers squashes wages.
According to the Gulf Labour Markets and Migration programme, a research body, roughly half of the 50m people in the GCC are non-citizens. In Qatar and the UAE, it is more than 85%.
Mr Weyl argues that it is the kafala system itself that makes Gulf citizens tolerate ultra-high levels of immigration. Precisely because it grants migrants so few rights—they can never become citizens, nor share in the generous local welfare state—Gulf nationals do not feel threatened by them. On the contrary, they like having other people to mop their floors and sweat on their building sites.
Some Gulf states are trying to curb the most coercive elements of the system. Bahrain and the UAE have scrapped exit visas and allowed migrants to switch jobs. The Saudis are trying to crack down on exploitative middle men. Human Rights Watch, a watchdog, urges construction firms to treat workers better than the law requires. But the basic deal that Gulf states offer to migrants—you can work, but you will never be one of us—remains unchanged.

France: Everything You Need to Know About the Calais Wall
With the fences not enough to stop them, a wall is coming up in northern France blocking access to the port of Calais for migrants trying to clandestinely cross the Channel to Britain.
The initiative however has met with controversy on both shores.
The so-called “anti-intrusion” wall will stretch one kilometre (around 0.6 miles) and will be about four metres (13 feet) high and be an extension of high wire fences on each side of the highway leading to the port of Calais.
Made of concrete panels that can be removed when no longer needed, it will be equipped with cameras and a lighting system in order to monitor any attempts to scale over it. Construction is set to begin this month and should be completed by the end of the year as it is expected to take about 12 weeks to put up the wall and another eight weeks to install the video surveillance and lighting.

Mexico Helping Unvetted African Migrants to U.S. Border, Many From Al-Shabaab Terror Hotbed
Hundreds of African asylum seekers have flooded Mexican border cities with the U.S. in an effort to get to California and Texas to obtain U.S. asylum — many of the unvetted migrants are from the terror hotbed of Somalia. Rather than having to hide along the way, the African migrants have been getting a special permit from Mexico that gives them a free pass to the U.S. border.
The influx of asylum seekers from African countries who entered Mexico illegally has been building for several weeks as hundreds of individuals continue to arrive primarily to Mexicali to cross into Calexico, California, in order to seek asylum. Mexican immigration authorities have been spotted ferrying the asylum seekers from shelters and plazas to international bridges with the U.S.
Mexican immigration authorities have largely kept quiet about the wave of African migrants who have been entering Mexico through that country’s southern border and then making their way to the U.S. border to seek asylum. Some of the cities they seek include Calexico and San Ysidro, California, and El Paso, Texas.
According to Mexico’s El Universal African migrants have been entering Mexico and almost immediately turning themselves in to agents with the National Immigration Institute (INM).
Once in custody, the migrants receive a special 20 day pass that gives them the freedom to move about the country. The purpose of the pass is to allow them to get to the U.S. border. According to El Universal, INM issues the permit to individuals from countries that Mexico does not have diplomatic relations with. The permit makes it easier for the INM to have the migrants leave the country voluntarily than to deport them to their countries of origin.
During a one week period in late August, there were 424 African migrants who turned themselves in to INM agents in the city of Tapachula, Chiapas…

Migrants Trapped on Border Fence for Hours as 200 Attempt to Break Into Spanish Land
According to the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, some 200 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa attempted to scale the six-metre fence which separates Morocco and the autonomous city in northern Africa on Saturday.
At least 50 of the migrants were left stuck at the top of the fence, which is lined with barbed wire, before being helped to the ground by authorities hours later.
Several of the migrants had to be taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.

The migrants were attempting to enter the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on the north coast of Africa from neighboring Morocco when they became trapped on top of the six-meter-high wire fence.
Around 150 migrants were attempting to illegally enter Spain by climbing over the fences surrounding the Ceuta border crossing when some 85 people climbed on top to avoid being caught by the authorities, officials said in a statement.

Non-Citizens Are on the Voter Rolls
Hundreds of non-citizens have been on the voter rolls in Virginia
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has discovered that hundreds of non-citizens have been on the voter rolls in Virginia.
In a pending lawsuit the City of Alexandria and the Virginia State Board of Elections are trying to prevent PILF’s efforts to uncover the full extent of the problem, the foundation states in a press release.
Hans A. von Spakovsky, Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, explains the situation at Conservative Review:
Election integrity foes mistakenly tell us voter fraud is a myth. So when legitimate voter fraud is actually discovered, these foes pretend it didn’t happen, fail to take any steps to investigate or prosecute such cases, or, even worse, try to cover it up. Take Virginia, where the State Board of Elections and some local election officials want to hide a blatant case of voter fraud involving noncitizens.

The Curious Case of Ilhan Omar
by Scott Johnson
In early August, 33-year-old Ilhan Omar became an overnight sensation in Minnesota politics. Her primary victory over 22-term incumbent Phyllis Kahn secured the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party (DFL) endorsement of Omar’s candidacy to represent House District 60B in the state legislature. Minneapolis’s Star Tribune trumpeted Omar’s victory in a huge headline on its front page, proclaiming that the Somali immigrant’s victory had “made history.” The paper followed up with two more retrospective stories admiring Omar’s triumph.
Omar’s victory shouldn’t have come as a surprise. She campaigned hard in the district, which includes the heart of the Cedar Riverside area now known as Little Mogadishu. Omar’s third DFL primary opponent was Somali, as is her Republican challenger (who has since suspended his campaign). The Star Tribune nonetheless portrayed the win as a remarkable accomplishment, not only because Omar defeated Kahn, who is tied for the longest-serving legislator in state history, but also because of Omar’s background. She spent time in a Kenyan refugee camp before settling in the Twin Cities in the late 1990s.
As many candidates do, Omar has made her personal background an integral part of her campaign. But neither the candidate nor the reporters who covered her have shown much interest in exploring one aspect of her personal story that recently came to public attention: the fact that she is not legally married to the man she advertises as the husband and the father of her three children. In fact, she is legally married to another man—who may be her brother. A posting on the SomaliSpot discussion board alleged that Omar had married the man touted as her husband in 2002 before marrying her brother for fraudulent purposes in 2009. The post, which seems to have been written by someone from Minneapolis’s Somali community, was quickly deleted. By the time it came to my attention, the post was only available via a Google cache (now also deleted). If the story is true, however, it suggests that Omar had engaged in some kind of dishonest activity in connection with her marriage to her brother (which by itself would be illegal).
I originally checked out the SomaliSpot story online through the Minnesota Official Marriage System. Inputting Omar’s name, I found that the two marriages cited in the discussion board post checked out as indicated. The site reflected Omar’s 2002 marriage to her advertised husband, Ahmed Aden (later Ahmed Hirsi), and her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi (identified in the SomaliSpot post as Omar’s brother). A few days after the primary, I submitted written questions to representatives of the Omar campaign, citing the SomaliSpot post, and asking whether Omar’s second marriage had been entered into with her brother for dishonest purposes. That same afternoon, I received a message from Omar’s press contact indicating that the campaign would get back to me later that day. I didn’t hear back from campaign officials directly, but I did receive a response from Minneapolis criminal defense attorney Jean Brandl. It provided no answer to my question, and implied that the question itself evidenced bigotry against Omar and her candidacy for public office…

‘This Country’s Too Poor’ Shocking Scale of Migrants Snubbing Serbia Despite Warm Welcome
Shocking figures show safe nations in and around the EU are being battered at the borders, but are ignored as migrants can cross to more desirable nations including Germany, France and the UK.
Syrian refugees have revealed they view many of the nations they must walk through to reach Europe “too poor” to stay in, despite just leaving their war-ravaged homeland.
Hundreds of thousands have travelled from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan to Turkey, through Greece, Macedonia and Serbia to reach the EU at the Hungary border.
But the majority have no intention of ever staying in any country they pass through.
In Serbia, migrants can “express the intention to seek asylum” upon entering the country.
This gives them 72 hours to report to one of five migration centres whereupon they can begin their application.
However, of the tens of thousands who have entered asylum centres, less than 600 have sought asylum in the nation.

Another State Issues Transgender Rules for Churches
President Obama’s transgender agenda has taken huge leaps forward in the last year or so. There have been orders for public building managers, for colleges and even for public schools to allow a male who says he’s female to use locker rooms and restrooms set aside for women.
The privacy and feelings of the biological females who are in those facilities are of no account.
Now a second state has decided that churches, too, are bound by the agenda.
The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination this month released a “ Gender Identity Guidance” that imposes its demands on society.
“The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination enforces [state law on discrimination]. The MCAD developed this guidance to educate the public about discrimination based on gender identity, to describe what evidence may be submitted to support a claim of gender identity discrimination, to inform individuals of their rights, and to assist employers, providers of housing, mortgage services, and owners, managers and agents of places of public accommodation in understanding their obligations.”
The conflict arises under the instructions for “places of public accommodation.”
“Under [the law] places of public accommodation may not discriminate against, or restrict a person from services because of that person’s gender identity. For example, a hotel or motel may not refuse to book a room for a person because of the person’s gender identity,” the state threatens.
It continues, “Even a church could be seen as a place of public accommodation if it holds a secular event, such as a spaghetti supper, that is open to the general public.”
The demands include having church officials, and even members, use whatever pronouns a person would demand, irrespective of their actual gender.

Great British Values Like Christmas Could be Killed Off ‘Through Fear of Being Racist’
CHRISTMAS and other great British traditions could crumble in the wake of community segregation and political correctness, leading to the breakdown of UK society, the nation’s integration tsar has claimed.
scathing Government report will claim British traditions and values could be lost if officials do not do more to raise concerns and assert national values.
The dossier will also claim that council officials, MPs and public bodies are too scared of being seen as ‘racist’ to address issues of segregation head on while standing up for British ideals.
The report has been spearheaded by Dame Louise Casey, the integration tsar appointed by David Cameron and Theresa May to tackle problems like racism, extremism and community segregation in the UK.
She said: “I have become convinced that it is only the upholding of our core British laws, cultures, values and traditions that will offer us the route map through the different and complex challenge of creating a cohesive society.”

It’s not clear that antibiotics will help Hillary’s pneumonia. I don’t think it is viral in nature. I think it was brought on by her swallowing difficulty that results from advanced Parkinsons. My own Mom had pneumonia twice in the last year due to aspirating liquid she was trying to swallow that went down the wrong pipe. My Mom now can only drink liquids that have been thickened.
The debates should be interesting, I’m hoping for lots of flash bulbs going off. It will also be interesting to see how long the Clinton campaign can go forward before they call off this charade. Then who? Biden, Sanders, Kaine, or perhaps martial law with Obama as dictator?
Antiobiotics are for bacterial, not viral pneumonias. Bacterial pneumonia can be brought on by aspiration.
Oh, and I just watched a video of her “departing”. “Being dragged after completely losing it” is more like it. Pneumonia, my eye.
maybe the Veep is ‘Biden’ his time. Maybe something will happen to Obama with the result of America being served a cup of ‘Joe.’ I personally have 2 to 5 odds on even voting and 1 to 5 odds of my vote being counted with the last scenario being the most likely given what has transpired thus far.
Rick – I believe you are on the button with the advanced Parkinsons
comment. Indeed, I’ve been watching Next News and a Dr. Noel has
been discussing the pneumonia vs. Parkinsons debate very succinctly.
He also has quite a few videos on Mrs. Clinton’s performances over some years now and has reached the same conclusion. Martial law with Obama might indeed happen – in fact with the ghastly Government in the United States anything could happen. Hold tight everyone.
