The highly acclaimed Cherokee Senator Elizabeth Warren has released the results of her DNA test, which prove that she had a Native American ancestor six to ten generations back. This would give her approximately 0.1% Indian blood, which is less than average for white Americans. Official representatives of the Cherokee Nation have denounced Sen. Warren as an impostor who is doing damage to real Cherokees.

Remember that these two grown men below are on-air when they attempt to mock a very smart and successful man whose ratings are far, far above those of CNN. this is exactly why CNN is losing viewers. How childish and unnewsworthy. Does CNN not see that this is the definition of unprofessional behavior? Guy Benson took note of the mocking and laughing and replied with one awesome tweet.

Bokhari: In ‘The Good Censor, ‘ Google Admitted to Censorship — and the Media Ignored it
Earlier this week, Breitbart News released “The Good Censor,” an 85-page internal company presentation created by Google, explaining in frank terms that the handful of big tech companies that dominate the internet have “shifted towards censorship.” The response from the establishment media? Virtually nothing.
There were a couple notable exceptions. The Daily Mail ran a detailed story about the leak, as did The Hill. And The Verge, part of the far-left Vox Media empire, ran two stories on the leak — although they mostly defended Google’s right to censor in the name of “safety and security.” BuzzFeed’s Charlie Warzel called the leaked presentation “incredibly fascinating” in a social media post, but BuzzFeed itself has thus far failed to cover it.
The conservative media did much better, with coverage in The Western Journal, World Net Daily, LifeSite, Fox News, NewsBusters, and The Daily Wire…
What ordinary Americans long suspected, The Good Censor has proven beyond doubt. According to Google’s own analysis, tech companies have performed perhaps the greatest bait-and-switch in American history, promising their users free speech while they were taking over the market, only to go back on their word once they came to “control the majority of online conversations.”

In a letter released [October 2] from a former boyfriend of Christine Blasey-Ford, there was a name curiously not redacted. The name of Monica L McLean was revealed as a life-long friend who Ms. Ford helped with polygraph preparation.
The media has begun to focus on the letter as outlining a lie told by Ms. Ford during recent congressional testimony… But the backstory to Ms. Monica Lee McLean is an even bigger story.
[…]
Some research into Ms. Fords life-long friend from school, Ms. Monica Lee McLean (DOB 03-15-66), reveals an almost guaranteed likelihood the polygraph assistance had something to do with the career path Ms. McLean would take.
Monica Lee McLean was admitted to the California Bar in 1992, the same year Ms Ford’s boyfriend stated he began a six-year relationship with her best friend. The address for the current inactive California Law License is now listed as “Rehoboth Beach, DE”. [*Note remember this, it becomes more relevant later.]
According to her LinkedIn background, Ms. Monica Lee McLean, was a 24-year employee of the Department of Justice and FBI from 1992 to 2016. According to public records Ms. McLean worked in both Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY.
In a 2000 Los Angeles FBI declaration Ms. McLean describes herself as a Special Agent of the FBI, Associate Division Counsel, in the Los Angeles Division Legal Unit.
[…]
According to her LinkedIn profile, Ms. McLean retired from the FBI in 2016, after 24 years of work. [*It should be noted that Ms. McLean’s PIO partner in New York, Jim Margolin, is still currently employed there; and coincidentally attached to the case against President Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen.]
[…]
Here’s where things get really interesting.
Ms. Monica Lee McLean and Ms. Christine Blasey-Ford are life-long friends; obviously they have known each other since their High School days at Holton-Arms; and both lived together as “roommates” in California after college. Their close friendship is cited by Ms. Fords former boyfriend of six years.
Ms. Monica McLean retired from the FBI in 2016; apparently right after the presidential election. Her current residence is listed at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; which aligns with public records and the serendipitous printed article.
Now, where did Ms. Blasey-Ford testify she was located at the time she wrote the letter to Dianne Feinstein, accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh?
[…]
It would appear that Ms. Blasey-Ford was with Ms. Monica L McLean, the retired FBI agent and former New York field office spokesperson, at the time she wrote the letter to Senator Feinstein.
That would certainly begin to explain quite a bit about who exactly was handling Ms. Ford; and how there would be an intentional effort, from a subject matter expert, on how to best position the attack against Brett Kavanaugh.
Who better to help scrub the internet history, and know what processes and people to enlist in such preparatory work, than a retired lawyer who worked deeply inside the FBI?
Not only did Ms. McLean possesses a particular set of skills to assist Ms. Ford, but Ms. McLean would also have a network of DOJ and FBI resources to assist in the endeavor. A former friendly FBI agent to do the polygraph; a network of politically motivated allies?
Does the appearance of FBI insider and Deputy FBI Director to Andrew McCabe, Michael Bromwich, begin to make more sense?
Do the loud and overwhelming requests by political allies for FBI intervention, take on a different meaning or make more sense, now?
Standing back and taking a look at the bigger, BIG PICTURE….. could it be that Mrs. McLean and her team of ideological compatriots within the DOJ and FBI, who have massive axes to grind against the current Trump administration, are behind this entire endeavor?…

Not only that, but the accuracy is terrible. US stations are supposedly the best in the world but as Anthony Watt’s project showed, only 7.9% of them achieve better than a 1°C accuracy. Look at the quote above. It says the temperature statistic is accurate to ±0.05°C. In fact, for most of the 406 years when instrumental measures of temperature were available (1612), they were incapable of yielding measurements better than 0.5°C. …
The result is we have inadequate measures in terms of the equipment and how it fits the historic record, combined with a wholly inadequate spatial sample. The inadequacies are acknowledged by the creation of the claim by NASA GISS and all promoters of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) that a station is representative of a 1200 km radius region. I plotted an illustrative example on a map of North America (Figure 2). …
The Stevenson Screen data is inadequate for any meaningful analysis or as the basis of a mathematical computer model in this one sliver of the atmosphere, but there is even less as you go down or up. The models create a surface grid that becomes cubes as you move up. The number of squares in the grid varies with the naïve belief that a smaller grid improves the models. It would if there was adequate data, but that doesn’t exist. The number of cubes is determined by the number of layers used. Again, theoretically, more layers would yield better results, but it doesn’t matter because there are virtually no spatial or temporal data. …
So, the best they can produce is an increase of 0.85°C, over 132 years with an error range of 0.20 below the average and 0.21°C above the average. As I understand, this is an error range of ±24%. But, they already admitted the data is of little value until 1950, which is less than half (62 years) of the period of record. Apparently, this is why they can only claim a discernible human impact from CO2 after 1950. …
Ironically, all of this goes on because fossil fuels have created wealth, security, and better quality of life in every aspect of life across the world. The insanity this creates is that the IPCC wants to punish those nations who pioneered this advancement in the human situation and improvement in the human condition and deny similar opportunities to other nations by denying them the use of fossil fuels. Of course, they do all this from their fossil fueled corporate palaces in cities protected from the realities of the real world like Geneva, Washington, New York, and London. When will somebody stop this madness?

CNN Anchor Slammed for Racist Lie About President Trump and Don Jr. [Video]
CNN anchor Anna Cabrera decided to take liberties with the truth and turn a quote from President Trump into something totally different. It’s just like fake news CNN to change the narrative to benefit their leftist agenda. Once they’re called out on the lie, it’s too late. The damage is done and they know it. In this case, the segment was on a woman who called police on a black man who was babysitting two kids. Cabrera tried to tie the fake comment she attributed to Trump to that story…”young men” became “white men”…See what she did there?
CNN’s Ana Cabrera lies about recent comments made by President Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr., claiming they said: “White men have a lot to fear right now…” Trump said: “It’s a very scary time for young men in America…” Trump Jr. said he is most concerned for his sons…

Elizabeth Warren Finally Takes DNA Test, The Results Are in
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has taken a DNA test and released the results. Her test results suggest that there is evidence of Native American in her family, however, there are a few things to know about the results and you may want to buckle your seatbelt.
Warren’s test was conducted by an independent, a professor from Stanford University named Carlos D. Bustamante. He’s an expert in this field “who won a 2010 MacArthur fellowship, also known as a genius grant, for his work on tracking population migration via DNA analysis.”
Sounds like he’s well educated and does a great job working with DNA. Let’s dig in some more.
Boston Globe filled us in on some details. “Bustamante calculated that Warren’s pure Native American ancestor appears in her family tree “in the range of 6-10 generations ago.” That timing fits Warren’s family lore, passed down during her Oklahoma upbringing, that her great-great-great-grandmother, O.C. Sarah Smith, was at least partially Native American.”…
Bustamante’s report discussed, in Warren’s six-page DNA report, that if “her great-great-great-grandmother was Native American, that puts her at 1/32nd American Indian. But the report includes the possibility that she’s just 1/1024th Native American if the ancestor is 10 generations back.”
That’s interesting if Warren is 1/1024th Native American, because that’s basically nothing. In fact, any of us could have 1/1024th of anything in us…
Further information reveals another discrepancy. Bustamante did not test Warren’s DNA against real Native American DNA. The reason for this is because Native Americans do not typically participate in DNA testing or genetic databases…
Even though Bustamante is an expert in DNA work, it doesn’t make much sense for Elizabeth Warren’s DNA to be analyzed to see if she’s part Native American, when there’s no true Native American DNA to compare it to.

Emails: Kyrsten Sinema Summoned Witches to Her Anti-War Rally
Politicians talk about “witch hunts” so often that the occult has almost become cliche in American politics. But in Arizona, there’s at least one candidate on the ballot who takes sorcery very seriously.
Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, is not a witch. But she has been known to hang out with witches. It was during the height of the Iraq War when Sinema, then a far-left protest organizer, summoned supernatural help to stop the Iraq War.
Emails obtained by the Washington Examiner show Sinema inviting a prominent coven of feminist witches in Arizona called Pagan Cluster to celebrate International Women’s Day and to protest the war in March of 2003. Code Pink protesters wore pink, obviously enough, and the Women in Black wore black. But Sinema encouraged the witches to wear “colorful clothing and come ready to dance, twirl, and stay in touch with your inner creativity and with the Earth.”

Internet Censorship Just Took an Unprecedented Leap Forward, And Hardly Anyone Noticed
While most indie media was focused on debating the way people talk about Kanye West and the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, an unprecedented escalation in internet censorship took place which threatens everything we all care about. It received frighteningly little attention.
After a massive purge of hundreds of politically oriented pages and personal accounts for “inauthentic behavior”, Facebook rightly received a fair amount of criticism for the nebulous and hotly disputed basis for that action. What received relatively little attention was the far more ominous step which was taken next: within hours of being purged from Facebook, multiple anti-establishment alternative media sites had their accounts completely removed from Twitter as well.

IPCC Achieves Net Zero Credibility
The recently released IPCC SR15 reports (at A1) that global warming is likely to reach 1.5°C between 2032 and 2050 and (at B) will probably bring species extinction, weather extremes and risks to food supply, health and economic growth. If we are to avoid this, net CO2 emissions will need to decline by about 45% from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching net zero by 2050 (C1), followed by extensive removals (C5). The required energy investment alone will be $2.4 trillion per year. …
Dr Judith Curry points out:
“Over land, we have already blown through the 1.5C threshold if measured since 1890. Temperatures around 1820 were more than 2C cooler.”
All of the risks listed by the IPCC arise on land, if air temperatures rise by 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Even sea level rise is driven by ice-melt on land. And although “pre-industrial” is defined as 1750, the temperature baseline is 1850-1900.
As Willis Eschenbach comments with characteristic clarity:
“We’ve done the experiment. We’ve seen 2°C of temperature rise already, and it was greatly beneficial overall. So why hyperventilate over seeing a smaller 1.5°C rise?”
So why did the IPCC issue this credibility-destroying Special Report?

Jeff Sessions Rips Federal Judges Over Anti-Trump Bias
Attorney General Jeff Sessions unleashed a blistering assault on federal judges Monday, saying anti-Trump bias has led some to abandon their role as legal referees and become “political actors” erecting roadblocks to the president’s policies.
In unusually stark language Mr. Sessions suggested judges could soon face “calls for their replacement” if they don’t cool it.
He blasted one judge who called the president’s policy toward illegal immigrants “heartless,” and said another judge put “the inner workings of a Cabinet secretary’s mind” on trial to pave a path to block the government from asking about citizenship on the 2020 census.
“Once we go down this road in American government, there is no turning back,” Mr. Sessions said in a speech to the conservative Heritage Foundation. “We are seeing it in case after case. When a hot-button policy issue ends up in litigation, judges are starting to believe their role is to examine the entire process that led to the policy decision — to redo the entire political debate in their courtrooms.”
Just ahead of the speech Mr. Sessions told The Washington Times that he saw anti-Trump resistance at play in some of the judges’ moves.
“I have to say I think some of it is,” he said. “I regret saying that, but I’m afraid it’s true in some of these cases and if, so, its very wrong.”
He added that unfair intervention from judges has left the administration in legal tangles, forcing the president to fight senseless and distracting cases.
“He has monumental responsibilities and no court without serious cause should interrupt the function of government. It takes untold hours and time to deal with these things. It slows up multiple agencies of government,” the attorney general said.
J
Mr. Sessions said that when Congress fails to act, that is a decision. And courts cannot step in to do what Congress has actively refused not to do.
He called that “judicial encroachment,” and said it’s gotten so bad that judges are trying to rehash the full decision-making of administrative actors in their courtrooms.
As part of that, judges are increasingly allowing intrusive legal “discovery” — the process of delving into records and decision-making to let judges review not just the final decision, but the way it was made.
Mr. Sessions said demanding handwritten notes from Cabinet secretaries or, in one current case now before the Supreme Court, ordering the Commerce secretary to be deposed in the Census citizenship question case, goes too far.
“The Census question — which has appeared in one form or another on the Census for over a hundred years — is either legal or illegal,” the attorney general said. “The words on the page don’t have a motive; they are either permitted or they are not. But the judge has decided to hold a trial over the inner-workings of a Cabinet secretary’s mind.”…

Lawmaker Exposes Islamist and Marxist “Counter-States” In U.S.
WHITEFISH, MONTANA— Senior Republican lawmaker Matt Shea (shown) of Washington State, speaking at a conference in Montana this weekend, warned that Islamists from the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as Marxists and communists, were setting up what he described as “counter-states” in the United States. These schemes threaten the freedom and security of the American people, he warned. Citing a now-famous memo produced for President Trump by Rich Higgins, who was director of policy and planning at the U.S. National Security Council at the time, Shea said the danger was very real. However, with awareness growing, Shea sounded optimistic about the future of freedom — at least in some areas of America. And he had a number of solutions and suggestions on what to do, including using the media and returning to America’s Christian heritage.

Any significant or extreme weather event is now hailed as proof of man-made climate change.
During the recent coverage of Hurricane Florence, many media outlets went even further than that. The Washington Post editorial board went so far as to claim that one man — President Trump — was somehow complicit with the extreme weather and that his actions were, at least in part, responsible for the destruction the storm wrought.

Of Course the Liberal Mob is Real
Derek Hunter whacks leftist party which has become ‘all fringe’
It wasn’t that long ago that the fringe of the political left was just that — a fringe. They’d used mommy and daddy’s credit card or their trust fund money to congregate at a G7 summit or meeting of the International Monetary Fund, then go back to whatever college town they refused to grow up in. Now there is no afghan of the party left, it’s all fringe.
What used to be ignored as it smashed the windows of a Starbucks and set trashcans on fire in the streets every couple of years is now what the Democrats are counting on to deliver them a majority in the House of Representatives. So where did this mob come from?
The simple answer is they’ve always been there, only they’re emboldened now.

Ohio University Journalism Student Arrested for Fabricating Death Threat Against Herself
On Monday, one of the managers of an Ohio University student newspaper was arrested after campus police discovered that she had fabricated three separate threatening messages against herself, at least one of which was a death threat.
Anna Ayers, a journalism student who is also a member of OU’s student senate and was formerly a columnist for The Post, has been charged by university police with three misdemeanor counts of “making false alarms” in relation to the hoax threats. If convicted on the charges, Ayers faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each of the three counts. She is first set to appear in court on Thursday morning to answer the charges.

On Civility: Democrats Seek to Normalize Insanity
Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
Ever since the Kavanaugh hearings, Democrats have scrambled to characterize their vicious, underhanded tactics as “just politics.” And as usual, the pundits are punting. Everyone from CNN to Fox News decries the “lack of civility” in current political discourse, as though this were a bipartisan problem that both sides shared equal blame for. Democrats even blame President Trump for being crude, one radio talker even called him “cruel.” Thus, their anger and insane behavior is “justified.”
None of this Democrat narrative is true. In fact, it is the opposite. Democrats and the extreme Left (but I repeat myself), are simply doing what they always do when called out: doubling down on their behavior and trying to pass it off as legitimate.

Researchers Argue Benefits of CO2 Outweigh the Harm
[…]
In fact, higher CO2 levels in the air actually boost plant growth, functioning like airborne plant food. Bast and Ferrara studied the impacts of predicted crop gains due to higher CO2 levels, arguing that they are likely to be significant enough to offset predicted harms.
“The benefits of CO2 fertilization are so great they exceed the entire “social cost of carbon” claimed by the Obama-era EPA. And even these estimates do not include the benefits realized by the timber industry, outdoor recreation, and other industries that benefit from the general greening of the Earth,” they wrote.
In light of the benefits of fossil fuels, the sort of dramatic efforts pushed by the IPCC to curb emissions start to look even more grim. Halting global warming would require the sacrifice of technology that has allowed the world’s population to surge in size while becoming richer. While western nations could perhaps absorb the cost of shifting their energy sources, severe cuts in global emissions would likely hurt the world’s poorest citizens.
“The bottom line is that an enormous increase in energy supply will be required to meet the demands of projected population growth and lift the developing world out of poverty without jeopardizing current standards of living in the most developed countries,” concluded one group of social ecology professors in a recent paper for BioScience.
If the cost of abandoning fossil fuels is so high, should it still seriously be considered as a policy goal?

Update: Online Censorship Has Arrived — Here Are the Companies Behind it
UPDATE, Thursday, October 11: Almost on cue, Facebook announced today that it had removed over 800 sites. According to reports, most were politically oriented. Facebook claims that its actions were “against behavior violations, not content violations.” Some of the sites, including ones managed by friends of mine, do not violate any kind of rules, to the extent that we even know what rules Facebook uses. I am highly skeptical but if there were “behavior violations,” then Facebook should explicitly explain what they were, perhaps with a warning so inadvertent violations can be fixed. But they don”t. And they change the rules all the time. There is absolutely no excuse for this. It looks very much more like Facebook is repeating the headline to this piece.
Right Wing News is very popular and had over 3 million followers on its Facebook page. No more. Sites with very good content, like NoisyRoom.net, which has been around for at least a decade, lost their Facebook pages. If one is trying to earn a living this way, I assure you, for conservatives, it is very difficult. We don’t have billionaire sugar daddies like George Soros to shower us with money like he does for the Left’s transparently propaganda pages, most of which read like something out of grade school. These random actions taken by Facebook without warning have destroyed businesses, some of which paid huge sums for Facebook ads. There is a justifiable cause for action here. I think a class action lawsuit to recover the millions in business lost is something worth looking into. This HAS TO STOP!
Original Article
Many of us have witnessed and some have personally experienced what appears to be deliberate censorship of either original content or something we post on social media. Google, Facebook and Twitter have all denied such rampant bias, despite occasional leaks from those organizations that say otherwise — for example, Twitter’s so-called “shadow banning,” or the appalling treatment of former Google executive James Damore, who wrote an insightful but politically incorrect internal memo titled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber.” A story published at Breitbart Tech Wednesday, however, removes all doubt. Google intends to be a “good censor,” rather than an unbiased filter of online content it is required to be.
The memo is truly Orwellian. It calls the free speech principles created by the Internet, “utopian,” but then implies that this has to stop because “recent global events have undermined this utopian narrative.” As an example, it cites the 2016 election, which it claimed showed “the scope and potential impact of fake news on democracy,” where “Russian entities essentially [used] social media as an information weapon.” Trump won because of fake news and the Russians, in other words.

Weak Six: NFL Attendance Woes Continue as Thousands of Seats Go Empty
As the NFL’s Week Six kicked off across the country, it still looked as if stadium attendance had not rebounded despite the small increase the league has seen in the television ratings.
Last week, with national anthem protests nearly extinguished, the league was encouraged by news that ratings had stopped sliding and that there was even a modest three percent gain after two seasons of losing viewers. However, though fans may no longer be abandoning their TVs, the same cannot necessarily be said of in-person attendance at the games.
For instance, the NFL has hopes for expanding the reach of the game by playing in foreign locales such as Britain’s Wembley Stadium. But according to those watching on TV and in attendance, there were thousands of empty seats in the grand stadium as the Seattle Seahawks dominated the L.A. Raiders in London.
The league said a huge number of tickets were sold, but fans aren’t convinced:…

Who and What Threaten the Constitution?
By Victor Davis Hanson
Donald Trump on occasion can talk recklessly. He is certainly trying to “fundamentally transform” the United States in exactly the opposite direction from which Barack Obama promised to do the same sort of massive recalibration. According to polls (such as they are), half the country fears Trump. The media despises him. Yet Trump poses no threat to the U.S. Constitution. Those who since 2016 have tried to destroy his candidacy and then his presidency most certainly do.
When, and if, we ever lose our freedoms, it will not likely be due to a boisterous Donald Trump, damning “fake news” at popular rallies, or even by being greeted with jarring “lock her up” chants—Trump, whom the popular culture loves to hate and whose every gesture and, indeed, every inch of his body, is now analyzed, critiqued, caricatured, and damned on the national news.
In general, free societies more often become unfree with a whimper, not a bang—and usually due to self-righteous pious movements that always claim the higher moral ground, and justify their extreme means by their self-sacrificing struggle for supposedly noble ends of social justice, equality, and fairness.
Media darlings, not media ogres, receive a veritable free pass to ignore constitutional norms. Champions of bipartisan consensus, “the people,” and the power of big government to do the “right” thing and advance social justice are the more dangerous to watch, not those championing the rights of the individual, and small and less intrusive government. Hillary Clinton, with a $1 billion war chest, a court media, and an array of highly paid pros, not the fly-by-night, improvised Trump campaign, was the expression of big media, big politics, big government, and big money eager to have one of their compliant own in the White House.
Philip II and his idea of Greek ecumenicalism, followed by his son Alexander and his “brotherhood of man,” ended the free Greek polis. The “healer” and consensus builder Augustus did away with the Roman Republic. Hitler claimed he was the good kind of socialist and only wished total power to redress the injustices of Versailles, and, besides, he was an environmentalist, vegetarian, non-smoker, animal lover, and opera buff to boot. Lenin promised an end to czarist oppression and asked only enough force to bring fairness for the little guy. Mao Zedong claimed he only wished to have the clout to end foreign contamination, landed oppression, and Mandarism and selflessly would do it all for the proverbial people. All of these revolutionaries believed in violating past norms of accepted lawful custom and practice to “save” the country.
Today’s most destructive totalitarians in Cuba, Iran, Nicaragua, North Korea, and Venezuela are adored by a toady press and are said to do their all for “the people.” Such revolutionaries do not oppose the power of the permanent administrative state, but seek to weaponize and collude with it.
The point is not that Trump is a saint, or that Obama, for example, a sinner. Rather, when the media become unctuous and complicit with those whom they are supposed to audit and cross-examine, then politicians and political movements—especially those voicing utopian bromides—grow ever more emboldened, empowered and occasionally quite dangerous. No mainstream media talking head has yet declared Trump a “God” or praised his pant creases. For all Trump’s bluster and ego, he has not reacted in kind promising, as some sort of deity, to reduce the planet’s temperature and lower its seas.
Try a thought experiment. What if Donald Trump tomorrow was caught ordering Attorney General Jeff Sessions to monitor the electronic footprints of Associated Press reporters, or to surveille CNN’s Jim Acosta and his grandparents?
What if Trump had just jailed a videomaker on trumped up charges of violating parole for making a left-wing internet video that he found an obstacle to his fabricated government version of a disaster overseas?
What exactly would the New York Times do if it were found out that George Soros and the Steyer brothers were being hounded by a right-wing version of Lois Lerner and a politicized ring at the IRS?…

Merkel’s Coalition Suffers Historic Loss
Must scramble for allies after losing absolute majority
German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative CSU allies suffered historic losses in Bavaria state elections Sunday, dealing a blow to her fragile three-party coalition government.
The Christian Social Union (CSU) scored 37 percent, a steep 10-point drop from four years ago in the wealthy Alpine state it has ruled almost single-handedly since the 1960s.
As a result, it loses its absolute majority and must scramble for coalition allies — likely the conservative Free Voters, who won 11 percent.

Returning ISIS Veterans: Europe’s Ticking Bomb
In a panel discussion broadcast live by the top-rated Serbian TV channel on October 9, Srdja Trifkovic discussed the problem of ISIS veterans returning to Europe from the fronts in Syria. The first question was whether this problem was quite as serious as presented by some security experts. [Video (Trifkovic segment starts at 8 minutes 40 seconds)]
ST: The situation is much worse. The United States still has not cured itself from the tendency to try and instrumentalise jihadists in order to pursue some geopolitical objectives. We saw that in Syria recently, when the U.S. was directly engaged in evacuating the top al-Nusra leaders [from Deir ez-Zor] after they had been surrounded by the Syrian Arab Army. We see this also in the concerted attempts to prevent the final onslaught against the last jihadist redoubt [at Idlib] in northern Syria. This is a game for which, in my opinion, [President Donald] Trump is not personally responsible. There is simply a continuity of policies and mindset inherited from previous administrations, which has been completely internalized by the intelligence structures, at the Pentagon and the Department of State. The second problem is . . .
Q: [Former U.S. President Barack] Obama and Hillary [Clinton] have even been accused of direct responsibility for the creation of the Islamic State?
ST: Had it not been for the joint criminal enterprise by Turkey, KSA, Qatar and the United States, the Islamic State would not have been born. The Islamic State was the embodiment of their concerted attempt to defeat Bashar al-Assad. Thus they created Frankenstein’s monster which later, presumably, got out of control—whether it really did so is uncertain . . . [As for the returning ISIS veterans], one term is used here which I regard as totally unconvincing, “de-radicalization.” This is a notion of the Western liberal establishment: that you can take returning fighters from the Middle Eastern war theaters, run them through a washing machine, and they will emerge as pure innocents, cleansed of all jihadist inclinations. This is nonsense.
The problem is not with some hundreds or thousands of veterans. The problem is in a metastasized Islamic diaspora [in the West]. Within it, there are many of those who have not spent a single day on the Syrian battlefront, yet many of them—by some estimates 5, 7 or 12 percent—are ready and willing to invest their lives in the realization of the jihadist project. Since we have 25 to 30 million members of the Islamic diaspora in Western Europe, in the European Union plus a few non-members, we are looking at some two million people who are absolutely committed to the project of expanding Dar al-Islam against Dar al-Harb. They treat their host-societies as a priori enemy territory, and they are prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure that they are transformed. It is only a matter of time when the bill will be due for payment. All that claptrap about multi-culti tolerance will collapse. Sooner or later we’ll have the issue of, to quote Lenin, “who gets whom,” in other words who will take out whom . . .
Q: There are many warnings, though, including the noted German historian [Heinrich August] Winkler, about the rise of the Right in Europe, and that the migrant crisis has created this new danger?…

Young Muslim Boys Tell Dutch Volunteer: “If We Dominate Here, All of You Will be Beheaded”
A former Shell CEO, who volunteers in giving education to migrants in the Netherlands, gave some shocking examples of his experiences with them. Although he had a lot of fun as well, he thinks the integration of Muslims is moving in the wrong direction.
For 15 years, the 78-year-old Dominic Boot gave Dutch lessons to migrants in a The Hague suburb called “De Schilderswijk”, he tells the largest Dutch newspaper “De Telegraaf”…
Boot, who is motivated to give language courses, now gives private lessons from his home in the Netherlands.
He gives examples of how the neighbourhood Islamised after women with black headscarves arrived and about the young generation as well.
Two young Muslim boys assured him once: “If we dominate here, all of you will be beheaded,” Boot says.
He was actually optimistic about integration and loved to work with migrants. But since he left the citizens house in The Hague, he questions if the integration of Muslims is going well.

The Khashoggi Slaying, the Anti-Trump Media, and American Foreign Policy
The murder of Jamal Khashoggi has replaced Brett Kavanaugh’s high school days as the mainstream media’s obsession. The media attributes the murder to the Saudi Arabian government. I don’t know whether the evidence conclusively supports this view, but for purposes of this post let’s assume that responsibility lies with the Saudis.
The American media calls Khashoggi a journalist, and it’s true that he contributed articles to the Washington Post. However, I think it’s more accurate and informative to call Khashoggi an operative or perhaps, as David Goldman does, “a top level spook who played a high-stakes game in Saudi spookdom.”
In addition, according to Goldman, Khashoggi was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist outfit. He “was bitterly opposed to the new Saudi government’s rapprochement with the state of Israel.”
None of this provides justification for butchering him. But assuming the Saudis did butcher him, should this action cause the U.S. radically to rethink its relations with the Saudi government?
The Washington Post thinks so. However, its position lacks consistency.
The Russian government kills journalists, among others. I do not recall the Washington Post protesting on this basis the Obama administration’s “reset” of relations with Putin’s government or Obama’s promise to be more “flexible” with Russia after his reelection. Nor, as far as I remember, did the Post cite Russia’s murderous ways as a reason not to farm out to Putin enforcement of the “red line” against the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
Cuba’s treatment of journalists and others has been atrocious. Yet, the mainstream media supported the Obama administration when it radically reset U.S. relations with Cuba without insisting on any change in the regime’s treatment of dissidents.
What are the differences between Russia/Cuba and Saudi Arabia? I see two. First, Russia and Cuba are adversaries of America. Saudi Arabia is an ally.
For the sane, this difference would, if anything, cut in favor of the Saudis. For the left, it cuts against them…

Macron Says the “Epicenter” Of the French Language is Now in Africa
French President makes more bizarre comments on national identity.
During a visit to Armenia, French President Emmanuel Macron said that the “epicenter” of the French language is now not in Paris, but in Africa.
“The French language does not belong to any of us but belongs to everyone. She emancipated herself from her bond with the French nation to welcome all imaginaries,” said Macron.
Asserting that the French language was being “enriched with new meanings” thanks to “the youth in Africa,” Macron claimed that Paris or France could no longer be viewed as being at the root of the French language.
“When I speak French, I speak our French languages. Its epicenter is neither on the right nor on the left of the Seine. It is probably in the Congo Basin or somewhere in the region,” he said.
This is not the first time that Macron has made comments that have antagonized critics of mass immigration who feel that the French identity is slipping away.

The pro-mass immigration, GOP megadonor, billionaire Koch brothers are opposing President Trump’s initiative to save American taxpayers from having to subsidize welfare-dependent legal immigrants.
Since February, Breitbart News has reported how the Trump administration is set to enforce an existing law whereby foreign nationals seeking to permanently resettle in the U.S. would need to prove that they will not become drains on the American taxpayer.
Such a plan would be a boon for American taxpayers, who currently spend about $57.4 billion a year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants every year. In the last decade, the U.S. has imported more than 10 million foreign nationals and is on track to import the same amount in the coming decade if legal immigration controls are not implemented.
