In the wake of Sunday’s second debate, the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is being opposed by numerous establishment Republicans, the most prominent among them being House Speaker Paul Ryan. Mr. Trump responded to the latest Republican opposition by saying that the shackles had been taken off him, and he can now campaign the way he likes.

In other news, a new British report says that the Islamic State is recruiting criminals both inside and outside of European prisons, creating a dangerous “gangster jihad”.

During the Coming Economic Crisis Two-Thirds of the Country Will Be Out of Cash Almost Immediately

Did you know that almost 70 percent of the U.S. population is essentially living paycheck to paycheck? As you will see below, a brand new survey has found that 69 percent of all Americans have less than $1,000 in savings. Of course one of the primary reasons for this is that most of us are absolutely drowning in debt. In fact, the total amount of household debt in the United States now exceeds 12 trillion dollars. So many Americans are so busy just trying to pay off their existing debts that they can’ t even think about saving anything for the future. If economic conditions remain relatively stable, the fact that so many of us are living on the edge probably won’ t kill us. But the moment the economy plunges into another 2008-style crisis (or worse), we could be facing a situation where two-thirds of the country is in imminent danger of running out of cash.

If you are living paycheck to paycheck, you live under the constant threat of your life being totally turned upside down if that paycheck ever goes away. During the last crisis, millions of Americans lost their jobs very rapidly, and because so many of them were living paycheck to paycheck all of a sudden large numbers of people couldn’ t pay their mortgages. As a result, multitudes of American families went through the extremely painful process of foreclosure.

Unfortunately, it appears that we have not learned anything from the last go around. According to the brand new survey that I mentioned above, 69 percent of all Americans have less than $1,000 in savings…

Donald Trump: ‘The Shackles Have Been Taken Off Me’

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump tweeted Tuesday that the “shackles” had been removed from him, freeing the Republican nominee to campaign the way he chooses, following several days where his words and actions have thrown the GOP into chaos.

“It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to,” he said.

Trump also called House Speaker Paul Ryan “very weak” and “ineffective” Tuesday, after the Wisconsin Republican announced he’d no longer defend or campaign for the GOP presidential nominee.

“Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty,” Trump tweeted…

Full Text: Milo at the University of Alabama: ‘Obama Just Handed the Internet Over to Monsters’

[…]

In New York I was in a bathtub of pig’s blood to protest the deaths of Americans at the hands of illegal aliens, Islamic terrorists, and lax policing.

It would be easy to dismiss my performance art as attention seeking. As if anyone could ever seriously accuse me of attention seeking! But it was a sincere work that points out the victims of leftist policies. …

But tonight we’re going to be talking about a black man I find less attractive: intellectually, politically, and … well you know…

It’s President Obama, and how he’s just turned the internet over to monsters.

What did Obama give away? What was transferred from US control to the control of….well…. No one is quite sure yet….. Is ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigning Names and Numbers.

ICANN makes hundreds of millions of dollars for controlling the naming on the Internet. In essence, they coordinate the names and numbered IP addresses of the entire Internet. …

Control of the Internet is like virginity. Once you give it away, you will never ever EVER get it back. That’s why I carefully picked a special, romantic occasion — an interracial fivesome with two drag queens.

America must control the Internet for the good of the entire world. Free speech is the essential component of freedom, and both in this country and around the world people must be able to speak out, learn, and participate in Internet culture.

We must be able to do so without the control of Russia, China, and the Muslim world. We should be fighting those nations for control of the internet, not giving in.

Gamechanger: New WikiLeaks Confirms Hillary Deliberately, Criminally Deleted Emails

This is from a conversation among her staffers…

In the excitement of last night’s debate and the recently released Trump tape, you may have missed the latest WikiLeaks dump. Convenient, right? In case you missed it, the latest emails reveal quite a bit: how Hillary really feels about gay marriage, a “hit file” on Bernie Sanders, and more. But most importantly, regarding her email scandal, it shows some rather damning evidence. Yes, even more damning than her cackle lines. They seem to confirm Hillary deliberately deleted certain emails. Oops.

This is from a conversation among her staffers…

Ok, one thing to use personal email, but why the “twisted truth” on why — with the two problematic areas being (a) emails to bill (when they were to bill’s staff) and (b) i only used one device — [Blackberry], when 2 weeks earlier, it was an iphone, BB and ipad. As Ann and I discussed, hopefully that’s a timing issue and whilst in state, she only used one. 🙂

I know when I talk to my friends who are attorneys we are all struggling with what happened to the emails and aren’t satisfied with answers to date. While we all know pf the occasional use of personal email addresses for business, none of my friends circle can understand how it was viewed as ok/secure/appropriate to use a private server for secure documents AND why further Hillary took it upon herself to review them and delete documents without providing anyone outside her circle a chance to weigh in.

It smacks of acting above the law and it smacks of the type of thing I’ve either gotten discovery sanctions for, fired people for, etc.

You can tell this is an email between Hillary staffers because they used the word “problematic.”

It’s a lot to digest, so let’s break it down. This confirms what we already know — Hillary a lying criminal who lies. And likes to crime it up (see Surprise! New Hillary Emails Reveal Blatant Criminal Activity). Hardly news, I know. Still, it’s relevant because this helps to prove that she did so on purpose. In other words, no “oops my finger slipped and I deleted things on accident!” excuse can justify her negligence. She did it deliberately. Straight from the horse’s Hillary campaign’s mouth. Kudos to WikiLeaks.

This is why everyone in Hillary’s camp is working hard to keep her emails hidden from the public until after they’ve already voted.

Nuclear War is on the Horizon: “This is Not Just Talk… Action Has Been Taken”

As the U.S. elections draw nearer, the amount of bellicose rhetoric from politicians and key military commanders (in truth, “politicians” as well) has been increasing. The main focus of that rhetoric has been directed toward Russia, and is also “blathered” in the direction of China, North Korea, and Iran when it suits U.S. political interests. The problem is that all of it is not just talk: action has been taken, especially regarding Russia and the Syrian theatre of operations.

Within the past several weeks, the U.S. has bombed Syrian troops, killing 62 outside of Deor ez-Zor in airstrikes and then admitting to doing so “mistakenly.” The Russians responded by firing up a UN/coalition convoy almost immediately after. Russian naval artillery then took out a command post with approximately 30 “coalition” officers, some of them being Americans. The U.S. then made itself responsible (indirectly) for an attack on the Russian Embassy in Damascus, Syria: anti-Assad Islamic militants did the job, and these have support with funding and materials of the U.S.

These “cat-and-mouse” exchanges have not been new by any means, as evidenced by the aerial “Top-Gun” provocative fly-by’s that have been occurring all year long, in Syria as well as in Eastern Europe. The U.S. has retracted the cease fire agreement and suspended all operations and discussions with Russia pertaining to Syria. What is new is the level that the rhetoric has reached…rhetoric that is no longer rhetorical but actually constitutes direct threats against Russia.

On September 29, 2016 the Washington Post reported these words from U.S. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter:

“Across the Atlantic, we’re refreshing NATO’s nuclear playbook — to better integrate conventional and nuclear deterrence, to ensure we plan and train like we’d fight, and to deter Russia from thinking it can benefit from a nuclear use in a conflict with NATO.”

The irony of that statement is evident. While the U.S. emplaces missile batteries in Germany, Romania, and Moldova, Russia has not responded by placing missiles in either Cuba or Venezuela, two countries she holds strong ties with both militarily and economically. Carter champions deterrence while simultaneously works to increase U.S. nuclear and conventional buildups in Eastern Europe. But it doesn’t stop there with his words.

RINOs Are “Blowing Up” The Republican Party … Not Trump

Look to Venezuela for your future under Hillary. As it is, under Obama we’re almost there. And…Hillary will provide the final solution

If ever there was ever proof that the establishment (aka “leftist”) members of the Republican Party are working with the Clinton Campaign, their faux horror over the Donald Trump male locker-room talk and huffy holier-than-thou departure from supporting him is the kicker…either that or they’ve not been around actual men much. They are the ones dividing and destroying the Republican Party. Not Trump. And, it most certainly seems that all of the GOP’ers (those who had already expressed their disdain and even hatred for Trump…for example Carly Fiorina supporting him for a couple of weeks? Give us a break! Her ‘support’ was at its best disingenuous) all pretty much ran loudly away from him and told the respective media players at almost the same precise time. Were they cued as to the time of attack? Was all of this coordinated by Bill Kristol, Mitt Romney and-dare I say his/its name-George Soros? Who knows? But, to me and at this juncture it certainly seems extremely plausible…

For at least two to three decades, the GOP has been a predominantly left-leaning political party. It hadn’t been as bad as the Islamo Marxist-Nazi Democrat Party but, it grew closer and closer to it as each year passed. Today, the Republican and Democrat parties are merely two heads occupying the same host body. The illusion of two actual political parties has been a ruse for many years and has fooled all too many in the electorate. It’s now out in the open and we can only pray and hope that the veil is being lifted and formerly shut eyes are being opened.

Trump, Under Attack, Turns on House Speaker, Media

Donald Trump stepped up his attacks against U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday, one day after the top Republican in Congress said he was not going to defend the party’s presidential nominee or campaign for him.

Facing a barrage of criticism over sexually aggressive comments that surfaced on Friday, Trump has seen his support among some lawmakers fall away in recent days as the Republican Party splits apart over its White House candidate less than a month before the election.

In social media posts early Tuesday, Trump lashed out against Ryan and other Republicans for failing to back him amid the controversy and as most national opinion polls show Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton increasing her lead.

“Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!” Trump, who has never held political office, said in a post on Twitter.

He referred to Sunday’s bitter presidential debate, where he was seen as giving a performance that was more disciplined than the first of the candidates’ three debates ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

On Facebook, the New York businessman blamed media outlets for “trying to rig this election” and backing Clinton.

His campaign, marked for months by controversies over both his policies and his brash style, ran into deep crisis after the emergence on Friday of a video from 2005 showing the former reality TV star bragging crudely about groping women and making unwanted sexual advances.

Ryan told congressional Republicans on Monday that he would put his full energy into preserving Republican majorities in Congress so as not to give Clinton a “blank check,” all but conceding that the former secretary of state would likely win the White House. He did not withdraw his endorsement.

Ryan’s move angered Trump and his supporters on Capitol Hill.

“Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty,” Trump said in a tweet on Tuesday…

U.S. Cardinal: Islam Desires World Conquest — and We’re “Easy Prey”

“We have 50 million Muslims in Europe. There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe — without swords, without guns, without conquest — will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades,” said late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in 2006. Virtually all Western politicians and prelates have refused to accept such pronouncements at face value, though, and instead strike politically correct tones. But this isn’t because they perceive the truth, says a top American cardinal, but because they’re too weak to accept it.

“Muslims have as their ultimate goal conquest and power over the world,” said Cardinal Raymond Burke (shown) in an interview with Italian newspaper Il Giornale. In the interview, just reported by news outlet Breitbart on Saturday, Burke also warned that the West’s “supine” stance and moral corruption have made it “easy prey for conquest.”

When Mr. Bigs Talk: The “Problem” Is Deplorables Are No Longer “Compliant”

by Diana West

This is the first paragraph of an email from Bill Ivey to John Podesta, which was among a Wikileaks release this week, as first reported by Infowars’ Paul Joseph Watson here.

Bill Ivey is a well-connected Democrat with a capital “D.” According to his bio at his website, titled, Global Cultural Strategies, this folklore scholar and “experienced non profit executive” served as Bill Clinton’s NEA director from 1998-2001, is a trustee for the Center for American Progress, and was a “Team Leader in the Barack Obama presidential transition.”

John Podesta, of course, is chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Ivey’s email to Podesta was written on March 13, 2016. Regarding the unexpected and surging popularity of Donald Trump and his “hare-brained ideas,” which are resonating amid “free-floating discontent,” Ivey is anxious:…

According to the report fDi Markets by the Financial Times, which takes into account productive investment and the creation of jobs per region, the countries that invest most money in Catalonia are Germany, France and the United States. The Catalan economy leads the ranking in Spain overall in terms of attracting foreign direct investment, accounting for 31% of capital, 34% of job creation and 37% of projects during the period mentioned. This proportion of foreign investment in Spain has increased in relation to the previous five-year period (2006-2010), when the Catalan economy accounted for 23% of the capital invested in the whole state.

As Obama Prepares to Ambush Israel What Will American Jews Do?

By: Att’y Stephen M. Flatow

It’s what they call the Old One-Two Punch. On Wednesday, the Obama administration issued a blistering denunciation of Israel. Within forty-eight hours, the New York Times published a front-page news story intended to blow it up into a big issue, and then a half-page unsigned editorial urging the administration to orchestrate an anti-Israel resolution at the United Nations.

And the Times garnished its editorial with a political cartoon—something that does not usually appear alongside an unsigned editorial—depicting a giant, menacing hand plunking down a huge (Jewish) house among little tiny (Arab) houses.

What was this extraordinarily important international development that warranted so much attention from the U.S. government and the New York Times?

It was Israel’s decision to build 98 houses in an existing Jewish settlement, for residents of another settlement that the Obama administration and New York Times want Israel to tear down. The houses would be built in the community of Shiloh, which was established, on state land, nearly forty years ago. Shiloh, it should be noted, has been supported by both Likud and Labor governments.

The idea that building 98 additional houses in Shiloh constitutes some kind of international crisis is, of course absurd. Not a single Palestinian will be harmed by the homes. Not a single Palestinian will be displaced. The only reason to be troubled by the 98 homes is if you are one of those whose goal is to expel every Jew from the areas you want to turn into a Palestinian state. That, of course, is the goal of the Palestinian Authority. Do the Obama administration and the New York Times share that goal?

During the days since Obama and the Times manufactured this phony “crisis,” here are a few examples of other international developments that the Obama administration said nothing about:

— Amnesty International reported that the Sudanese Arab government has massacred hundreds of blacks in Darfur with chemical weapons.

— A terrorist stabbed two police officers in Brussels. The authorities, who identified the stabber as “Hicham D.,” and his brother as “Aboubaker D,” said “We have reason to believe that it is terror-related.”[…]

Caroline Glick: The Liberating Responsibility of Atonement

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year because it is the day that the Torah sets aside for us to reckon with ourselves. We are commanded to give an accounting — before our fellow men and before God — for our actions in the previous year. We must make amends to both for our misdeeds. And since none of us is perfect, every one of us has things to atone for.

Yom Kippur’s power stems from a basic assumption that forms its core. That assumption is that we are all moral agents. We all have to make an accounting.

This basic assumption is the most liberating notion ever created. Moral agency is what makes us free. It doesn’t matter how wretched or rich our external circumstances, the fact that the Torah enjoins all of us to take responsibility for our behavior means that as far as God is concerned, we are not slaves and never will be slaves.

The converse is also true.

We are only free for as long as we are capable of accounting for our actions. This means that preserving our ability to properly judge ourselves is the key to preserving our liberty…

Double Standards on Syrian War Crimes

In his latest RT interview (October 11) Srdja Trifkovic discusses the politics of distinction between war crimes and collateral damage. He says that atrocity management in Syria may be an introduction to intervention in the name of the “Responsibility to Protect,” a doctrine applied in accordance with the intervening power’s preconceived geopolitical and military objectives.

[VIDEO]

RT: Let’s look into [the Syrian war crimes issue] with Srdja Trifkovic, foreign affairs editor for Chronicles magazine. Is the U.S. in any position to point the finger over war crimes? We know that their own air strikes have exacted a deadly price in Syria . . . In September 62 Syrian soldiers were killed, some 40 people were killed in two raids back in July in Manbij.

ST: Of course it’s not, in terms of a rational and moral world. On the other hand, intoxicated by their own brew of American “indispensability” and “exceptionalism,” the leaders of the United States do not have a sane understanding of these issues, and judge them on ad-hoc basis: out friends and we ourselves never commit war crimes, the other side does it all the time.

Migrants Gang Rape Woman in Wheelchair, Swedish Police Protect Them

[WARNING: Disturbing Content. Keep your blood pressure medication close by before reading this story.]

A gang of 5 Muslim migrants brutally raped a wheelchair-bound woman for hours, forcing their handicapped victim to suffer through the most debauched torture imaginable. Just days after police arrested the rapists, however, they were released without any charges for one unbelievably sick reason.

Sweden was shocked when national headlines revealed that a handicapped woman in her 30s was overtaken by a group of at least 5 men who had forced their way into her house over the weekend in Visby. Aftonbladet reports that the woman shared a taxi with one of the men on a ride home from the pub before the suspect asked to use her restroom. It was after she let him in that his friends burst into the home and took turns raping her for several hours.

Thanks to legislation pushed by leftists to prevent the media from publishing the identities of vile criminals like these men, Swedish newspapers have only been allowed to circulate blurred images and nondescript details. However, an anonymous source pointed Mad World News to a video that captures 3 of the rapists.

As expected, these men are Muslim migrants, which is exactly why the leftist officials running the country are doing everything in their power to protect them.

What’s even more sickening is that all 5 of these men were released just as quickly as they were arrested. After detaining the men, prosecutor Mats Mihlborg explained that there was no “probable cause” that they had committed any crime.

This was because authorities do not believe there was “violence or threats,” which are the legal defining aspects of what Sweden considers rape, according to Fria Tider. Of course, it’s obvious that a gang of 5 men can easily overpower a handicapped woman without so-called violence or threats. Because of this technicality, however, they walked free Wednesday evening.

Hela Gotland reports that dozens of outraged citizens united to protest the protection of the rapists, an action that is illegal if the gatherers aren’t given a permit. It was during this protest that one brave civilian managed to record 3 of the rapists’ faces with his cell phone before risking arrest by uploading the footage to social media.

  1. Sweden is a really sick place.If I were a Swede I’d be looking to emigrate .But I’d also be ashamed to admit where I came from.

    • Who in the rest of the World would take Swedes ? they are not prepared to fight for their country and will simply spread their Leftist madness to yours.

      “As you sew, so shall you reap”.

      Fight for your country Swedes and Get Real ™.

    • Let’s see what happens now that the rapists have overstepped boundaries even of rape. C’mon Swedes, do something!

  2. Are you sure it was Russians who burned the humanitarian convoy? I thought that was our side or rebels/ISIS? What’s the evidence?

    • Putin has announced that it was one of the terrorist groups in the area. Russians say their planes were nowhere near. Which can be proven.

  3. This is very interesting, there’s a poll going on in the UK at the moment on Facebook asking if we could vote in the US elections, who would we vote for?

    Donald Trump…………………………………………………….75.3%

    Hillary Clinton……………………………………………………25.1%

    I’ll put a link up but it may not work over in the US.
