Chicago Chamber of Commerce Rages as Average Unemployed Illinoisan Parent Earns $35/Hour Sitting on the Couch

Authored by Noah Sheer via IllinoisPolicy.org

Illinois employers are hurting from a lack of workers while the state unemployment rate remains high. When a parent can stay home and make $51,627 on unemployment, the prospects of getting more workers back to work this summer appear dim.

Illinois’ unemployment rate rose to 7.2% July 15, the 8th worst in the nation, at the same time employers are having trouble filling job vacancies.

The average Illinoisan earns $55,770 a year at work. If that person stayed home with their kids and collected unemployment, it would be $51,627.

Pence Out: “Zero” Chance Trump Taps Former VP for 2024

Former President Donald Trump, should he choose to run in 2024, won’t pick Mike Pence again as his VP, according to Politico which cites several Trump advisers.

As things stand now, Trump is extremely unlikely to run again with former Vice President Mike Pence as his number two, advisers say. Some Trump aides have also written off Pence’s political future, at least at the presidential level, privately arguing that he has failed to capture anything close to the same kind of enthusiasm as Trump. They point to anger among the most diehard Trump supporters over Pence’s decision to carry out his Constitutional duty in certifying Biden’s election win. —Politico

Rand Paul Formally Requests DOJ Investigation Into Fauci

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has formally communicated with Attorney General Merrick Garland, requesting a criminal investigation into alleged lies and cover-ups by Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Paul alleges that Fauci was lying when he claimed that the National Institute of Health (NIH) did not fund gain-of-function research. Fauci also denies the NIH having sent funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, indirectly or directly.

According to the Washington Examiner, the particular issue has to do with Fauci’s testimony before the US Congress on May 11 2021. Fauci was under oath when he categorically denied any connection between the NIH and the Wuhan lab.

Senator Klobuchar Ignores First Amendment With New Bill to Censor Online “Misinformation”

Section 230 is under attack again, this time by Sen.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects online platforms from being sued over content posted by users.

The bill, called the Health Misinformation Act, would require online platforms to remove health misinformation, particularly vaccine skepticism during public health crises. Failure to remove such content would make a platform legally liable.

Teen Suspected of Shooting 2 Arlington Teenage Brothers Dead

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The third teen wounded in a gunfight that left two teenage brothers, aged 13 and 17, dead at a south Arlington apartment complex is now suspected of the killings, police said.

The three were shot Friday apparently after a dispute at a nearby barbershop escalated and spilled over to the apartment complex, Deputy Chief Christopher Cook said in a statement Saturday.

The brothers were taken to a hospital, where they were pronounced dead. Police found a gun near the boys’ bodies and a second gun nearby.

The third teen, whose identity police withheld because of his age, was taken from the scene in a vehicle was stopped by police before he was taken to a hospital. Cook said the teen faces a murder charge when he is discharged from the hospital.

“We shouldn’t be apologizing to the world,” he said. “We’re apologizing for America, just like Obama apologized. Remember, he apologized. They should be apologizing to America for what they’ve done to it. That’s who I think should be apologizing to.

Turley: Could the Arrest of FBI Agent Undermine the Whitmer Kidnapping Case?

Authored by Jonathan Turley via jonathanturley.org (emphasis ours)

The arrest of an FBI agent would always be newsworthy. Richard Trask of Kalamazoo has gone from making cases to being a case for prosecution. He faces up to ten years for allegedly assaulting his wife with intent to do great bodily harm. However, Trask was also key to the arrest of men in the alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Those defendants — and some observers — have criticized the FBI for entrapping the men by pushing them into the conspiracy and facilitating their efforts. The question is whether Trask’s arrest could undermine those cases. The answer is yes.

It is the willful ignorance of Austrian (and other) authorities regarding the teachings of Islam that has caused so much of the trouble in Europe.

France: Muslim Screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ Attacks Man With Box-Cutter, Terrorism Ruled Out

The attacker says he screamed “Allahu akbar” during the attack. The investigators say he didn’t. How they determined this was not revealed. They ruled out terrorism because of the “profile of the perpetrator,” which likely means that he didn’t have any connection to jihad terror groups. However, the possibility that he might have derived the idea to wage war against unbelievers by reading the Qur’an (cf. 2:191, 4:89, 9:5, 9:29, 47:4, etc.) was almost certainly not considered. The implications of that possibility would be too terrible for French authorities to contemplate.

The staff of the hospital in Montelimar, in the French department of Drome, have gone on indefinite strike to protest the new rules demanding they take a vaccine against Covid-19 by mid-September or face losing their jobs.

The strike against “forced vaccination” was announced on Thursday by the CGT-GHPP trade union, and affects some 200 doctors and 1,500 nurses in the southeastern French city.

Hundreds of them gathered outside the hospital on Friday, denouncing lockdowns and vaccine mandates and chanting “liberté!” (freedom).

French Senate Approves Vaccine Pass Despite Protests; German Politicians Divided

Despite growing protests, French lawmakers have moved a step closer to passing a bill that would introduce obligatory coronavirus vaccinations for certain professions and condition access to cultural and leisure spaces, as well as travel, on a health pass showing proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test.

The French Senate late Saturday approved the bill but introduced changes to the government’s draft to exempt minors and remove restaurant and cafe terraces from places requiring the new passe sanitaire. Senators also tabled an amendment to postpone implementation of the new rules to September, instead of August. The law now needs final approval from the lower house of parliament.

Ahead of the Senate vote, more than 160,000 people protested across France against the proposed restrictions, up by some 50,000 on demonstrations last weekend. Around 35 percent of French citizens support such protests according to a new poll.

Imam Denounces Swedish Flag, Calls on Muslims to ‘Crush and Beat the Jews’ Heads’

There is nothing this imam says that is “extremist”; it is all mainstream Islam. The genocidal hadith he quotes, about the rocks and trees calling on Muslims to kill Jews, is at Sahih Muslim 6985 and elsewhere. The idea that Muslims should not respect the Swedish flag because it contains a cross is based on Qur’an 4:157, which says that Jesus was not crucified, and upon the idea that since the cross is a Christian symbol, Muslims must not honor it, for to do so would be to submit to non-Muslim authority. Will some “moderate Muslim” spokesman explain exactly how Basem Mahmoud is “hijacking” Islam? Don’t hold your breath. And what will the future of Sweden, and the West in general, be like as a result of inviting in such people, and never confronting them on their beliefs and activities that are at variance with Western social norms and principles?

A similar operation was mounted along the Paseo Mallorca and on the main industrial estates and the police managed to stop the parties and send everyone home or back to their hotels.

Iraq: The Islamic State Now Controls Over Ten Villages

The jihad doesn’t end. It may be stopped for awhile in one place or another, but the jihadis believe they’re fighting a 1,400-year struggle, one they will pass on to their sons and grandsons. Patience is their hallmark, a quality that is notably lacking in Western governments.

“More than 10 villages southwest of Kirkuk are now under ISIS control, Official says,” Shafaq, July 19, 2021.

Afghanistan: Rocket-Propelled Grenades Fired at Presidential Palace During Eid Prayers

Not a bug, but a feature. As Allah commands warfare against unbelievers in the Qur’an, rockets fired at those considered apostates and heretics during prayers are not a sacrilege, but an act of devotion.

Biden Frees Al Qaeda Commander Who Blew Up Buddhas

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

When the Taliban and its Al Qaeda allies blew up two giant Buddha statues in Afghanistan, it put the Jihadist alliance on the world’s radar even before the September 11 attacks.

The destruction of the statues was widely condemned by just about everyone. Even Democrats.

Now, Joe Biden has decided to free an Al Qaeda commander who helped bomb the statues.

As the Taliban retake Afghanistan, Biden’s decision to free Abdul Latif Nasir signals support for the Jihadists and for the North African Muslim Brotherhood regime that agreed to harbor Nasir.

There were plenty of reasons to keep Abdul Latif Nasir safely locked up in Gitmo

Pakistan: Supreme Court Declines Petition to Protect Christian Girls From Forced Conversion and Marriage to Muslims

Pakistan is a leading nation in promoting Muslim victimology worldwide and advancing the “Islamophobia” agenda. The manipulative promotion of Islamic blasphemy doctrine is unceasing, while Muslim men continue to kidnap, forcibly convert and rape Christian, Hindu and Sikh girls on a routine basis.

The persecution worldwide by Muslims of both those Muslims who are deemed to be apostates and of infidels is unmatched by any other group. Still, the lie that Muslims are suffering under systemic “Islamophobia“ persists. French teacher Samuel Paty was openly beheaded in France while multitudes of Muslims protested against his allegedly committing blasphemy, instead of protesting against the fact that he was beheaded. This kind of behavior would never be tolerated from any other religion but Islam, the so-called “religion of peace.”

Nigeria: Muslims Block Road, Kidnap Christian Travelers, Let the Muslims Go on Their Way

This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when the Muslim in Minnesota who asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims. In the Philippines in February 2019, Muslims murdered a man for failing to recite Qur’an verses, while releasing six others who could recite them. In Mali, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” took hostages, freeing those who could recite the Qur’an. In September 2013 at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall, Muslims murdered people who couldn’t answer questions about Islam. In June 2014, Muslims murdered people who could not pass an Islam quiz. In November 2014, Muslims murdered 28 non-Muslims who couldn’t recite Qur’an verses. In April 2015, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” stormed Garissa University College, and only shot those who couldn’t recite Qur’an. In a Bangladesh restaurant in July 2016, the jihadis spared those who could recite from the Qur’an. In July 2017 in Kenya, Muslims asked Christians to “recite Islamic dogmas” and murdered them when they couldn’t do so. In May 2018 in Belgium, a Muslim who murdered four people told a hostage that he wouldn’t harm her since she was Muslim and was observing the Ramadan fast. In September 2018 in Kenya, Muslims murdered two non-Muslims for failing to recite the Qur’an.

Nigeria: Senate Passes Bill Proposing 10 Years Prison for Using ‘Hate Speech’ To ‘Stir Up Religious Hatred’

This is a glimpse into the future, the near future, of Europe, Canada, and the U.S. The concept of “hate speech” is entirely subjective, such that prohibitions of this kind are tools in the hands of the powerful in order to silence the powerless. Leftists and Islamic groups in the U.S. insist that honest discussion of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror is “hate speech,” although there is no reason why this should be true. When this kind of law comes West, such discussion will be silenced.

Sudan: Muslims Beat and Threaten to Kill Government Advisor for Christian Affairs

He was told that he would be killed “if he continues to open church files with the Empowerment Removal Committee and the Ministry of Religious Affairs.”

This would presumably uncover evidence of the persecution of Christians in Sudan during the rule of Omar Al Bashir. Some apparently want to keep this quiet, and are doing their best to make sure that Boutros Badawi keeps it quiet as well. The rules of dhimmitude mandate that the subject peoples must not complain about or even call attention to their plight. To do so will make it even worse.

Germany: Muslim Migrant Who Murdered 3 While Screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ Is Sent to Psychiatric Hospital

German authorities, like authorities all over the West, are unwilling to acknowledge the reality of Islamic jihad activity, even when the jihadi tells them that he was engaged in a jihad, as he did in this case. They have to find another explanation. “Mental illness” is the explanation of choice. This is, however, tantamount to saying that understanding core Islamic teachings and acting upon them is a sign of insanity. Expect no pushback from Islamic groups, however, as to protest this would be to acknowledge that Islamic jihad violence has something to do with Islam.

Revealed: President Biden is Spending More Than $2 Billion to Halt Border Wall Construction as Thousands of Migrants Flood Into the US Every Day

Joe Biden’s administration has spent at least $2 billion on suspending border wall construction, a new report from Republicans on a subcommittee on the border revealed.

Amid a continuing migration crisis at the southern border, the administration is pumping around $3 million every day into stopping building of the wall, according to the minority report for the Senate subcommittee on Government Operations and Border Management under the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

The costly per day amount is reportedly going to contractors to guard all the materials — like steel and concrete — that are lying around in the desert for the project.

The TikTok Ads That Promise to Get Migrants to Britain for £20k: People-Smugglers Are Brazenly Touting Their Services on Social Media Sites, Probe Reveals

Albanian criminals charging up to £20,000 to smuggle migrants to the UK brazenly tout their services on TikTok and other social media sites.

A Mail investigation found popular sites awash with adverts from human traffickers, sometimes mocking attempts by the British authorities to stop them and posting slickly produced step-by-step tutorials to help illegal migrants sneak into the UK.

They illustrate the scale of the problem facing Home Secretary Priti Patel, who recently visited Albania to sign a deal speeding up deportations of criminals and failed asylum seekers.

3 thoughts on “Gates of Vienna News Feed 7/25/2021

  1. The woman stabbed at Hyde Park’s Speakers’ Corner, designated by Act of Parliament as a place for completely free speech, is Hatun Tash, a Christian missionary and former muslim from Turkey.

  2. Women stabbed at Speakers Corner was none other than Hatun Tash, a previous victim of the Religion of Peace. She was guilty of voicing an opinion on Islam and speaking publicly about it. Acts 17 Apologetics posted a video of the actual attack. This was no slashing attack, but an attempt at murder.

  3. It has been claimed that the stabber is Muslim but when I submitted news tips to the news feed that claim was uncertain.
