NY Daily News: San Bernardino Victim Deserved It For Being Conservative

A writer for the New York Daily News published a column Saturday night arguing that one of the San Bernardino shooting victims was just as bad as the killers by virtue of being outspoken about Islamic extremism on Facebook. Nicholas Thalasinos was one of 14 people murdered Wednesday by Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik at Inland Regional Center while attending a holiday party. According to Daily News writer Linda Stasi, arguments between Thalasinos and Farook (who were co-workers) over religion mean that Thalasinos shares equal blame for Wednesday’s deaths, even though he murdered nobody. “They were two hate-filled, bigoted municipal employees interacting in one ...

Two days after two Muslim husband-and-wife shooters mercilessly sprayed bullets at a social services centre in San Bernardino, California, killing 14 people, Democratic Party lawmakers visited and even prayed at a mosque with historical links to terrorism and vowed to fight Islamophobia, WND reported. u.S.

US can't access NSA phone records in California terror case

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government's ability to review and analyze five years' worth of telephone records for the married couple blamed in the deadly shootings in California lapsed just four days earlier when the National Security Agency's controversial mass surveillance program was formally shut down. Under a court order, those historical calling records at the NSA are now off-limits to agents running the FBI terrorism investigation even with a warrant. Instead, under the new USA Freedom Act, authorities were able to obtain roughly two years' worth of calling records directly from the phone companies of the married couple blamed in the attack. The period covered ...
Top Jeb Bush political donor in Miami: I’ll vote for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump

One of Florida’s biggest conservative Republican moneymen — and a billionaire backer of Jeb Bush — is so disgusted by Donald Trump’s candidacy that if he has to, he’ll do the unthinkable: “If I have a choice — and you can put it in bold — if I have a choice between Trump and Hillary Clinton, I’m choosing Hillary,” Miami healthcare magnate Mike Fernandez told the Miami Herald on Friday. “She’s the lesser of two evils.” Outraged by Trump’s unimpeded ascent, Fernandez is taking on the GOP frontrunner himself. He purchased a full-page ad in the upcoming Sunday edition of the Herald calling Trump a “narcissistic ...

Maria Hasankolli, the Connecticut mom who was arrested after police found her eight-year-old son walking to school while she overslept, had her court appearance yesterday. Here is what she wrote to me: So I just left court. I was informed that “risk of injury to a minor” (my charge) carries with it a ten year sentence, five thousand dollar fine, and five years probation. My case was continued to January 6th, 2016. Thank you all for your support and words of encouragement. I’ll keep you informed as I go. Perhaps someone reading is struggling my struggle and will find comfort knowing they’re not alone.

Comcast PANICS: Minnesota Rolls Out Free High-Speed Internet Funded by Taxing the Rich

Minnesota, once a state drowning in debt, is now being forced to deal with a new problem: how to spend their projected $1.9 billion budget surplus. The extra $1.9 billion is likely to be allocated toward early childhood education and providing high-speed internet to Minnesota residents, according to the West Central Tribune. Governor Mark Dayton, of Minnesota’s Democrat-Farm Labor Party, ran for office on a call to implement broadband internet “border-to-border” and has called for a $100 million infusion of funds, in conjunction with private investment, to build the initial infrastructure. While the total estimated cost to complete the job is $3.2 billion, Gov. Dayton has ...
Supreme Court on Verge of Banning Affirmative Action

In the education case of Fisher v. University of Texas, a Supreme Court majority appears ready to strike down affirmative action because “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” The U.S. Supreme Court, in the pivotal test of affirmative action in education, will hear arguments on December 9 for the second time that Abigail Noel Fisher was discriminated against by the University of Texas in her application to attend law school. A blanket ruling outlawing racial and ethnic preferences entirely would follow Chief Justice John Roberts’ 2007 dictum “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop ...

San Bernardino Media Hoax: CNN, Media, ‘Victims Families’ All Ransack Suspects Family Home, Faux FBI Crime Scene

Today saw another new low-point in American broadcast journalism, as members of the media and public ransacked the shooting suspects family home in Redlands, California. On closer examination, however, what is on display here has very little to do with journalism, and everything to do with staged ‘synthetic terror’. It appears that both mainstream media and law enforcement are becoming increasingly desperate to sell an ever-more embellished and fantastic story line surrounding this latest alleged ‘Mass Shooting’ event that we’re told took place on Wednesday in San Bernardino, California. Earlier, CNN’s official “terrorism analyst”, Paul Cruickshank, ...

Dr. Udo Ulfakatte is a top German journalist and editor and has been for more than two decades, so you can bet he knows a thing or two about mainstream media and what really happens behind the scenes. Recently, Dr. Ulfakatte went on public television stating that he was forced to publish the works of intelligence agents under his own name, also adding that noncompliance with these orders would result in him losing his job. He recently made an appearance on RT news to share these facts: I’ve been a journalist for about 25 years, and I was educated to lie, to betray, and not to tell the truth to the public. But seeing right now within the last months how the German and American ...

ashfeen Malik is pictured in this undated handout photo provided by the FBI, December 4, 2015.Islamic State said on Saturday that a married couple who killed 14 people in California in an attack the FBI is investigating as an "act of terrorism" were followers of the militant group based in Syria and Iraq. The group's declaration, in an online radio broadcast, came three days after U.S.-born Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his wife Tashfeen Malik, 29, a native of Pakistan, carried out the attack on a holiday party for civil servants in San Bernardino, about 60 miles (100 km) east of Los Angeles. The two died hours later in a shootout with police. U.S. government sources have ...

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Friday blasted the vetting process that allowed San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik to enter the United States, saying that if she was able to pass through the visa screening process it should “end the debate” on bringing Syrian refugees into the United States. "If that vetting resulted in missing someone who could carry out such a horrendous crime, that should be the end of the argument right there. We shouldn’t even have to talk about this anymore," Carson said during a speech to the American Legislative Exchange Council. Carson qualified his statement by saying that "someone told me ...

On ISIS, Barack Obama Is Baghdad Bob

“ISIS is contained” is the new “American tanks are not in Baghdad” of 2015. In the throes of a tight re-election campaign in October of 2012, President Barack Obama declared that al Qaeda was “on the run.” In one sense, he was right: al Qaeda was running into the arms of ISIS, which was running wild in the Middle East. But his intended implication–that his policies had routed the terrorists, rendered them incapable of hurting Americans, and as a result made America safer from the threat of terrorist attack–was demonstrably false. In an interview with ABC News the day before deadly terrorist attacks in Paris which killed 130 people and injured ...
Hillary Clinton: ‘No Matter What Motivation’ Shooters Had, We Need More Gun Control

Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton is trying to downplay the possible religious motivations behind the San Bernardino, California, shooting in order to focus on pushing her gun control agenda in the aftermath of the tragedy. “No matter what motivation these shooters had, we can say one thing for certain—they shouldn’t have been able to do this,” Clinton said in New Hampshire Thursday. Clinton has yet to formally acknowledge the fact that shooting suspect Syed Farook was a devoted Muslim and that evidence is mounting that the mass shooting in California could have been motivated by Islamic terrorism. Clinton is making the case to voters for her ...

The Maryland Drivers Alliance has uncovered evidence that the state's speed camera programs continue to be plagued by accuracy problems. Last year, Baltimore made national headlines when an audit revealed it had been mailing automated speeding tickets to parked automobiles and drivers who were obeying the speed limit. Now the city of College Park and its for-profit camera vendor Optotraffic have been caught accusing a motionless bus of speeding.The motorist rights group used a freedom of information act request to obtain copies of emails from city officials discussing erroneous photo citations. The heavily redacted documents describe a series of embarrassing errors. In October, for ...

Waunakee, WI – November 23, 2015: When it comes to embracing transparency, no government enterprise fails more miserably than traffic enforcement. Police departments and municipalities resist disclosing the number of tickets they issue for fear of branding their communities as speed traps. And local courts routinely reduce speeding charges to non-moving violations to avoid sharing ticket revenue with the state. Left unchecked, so-called “Policing for Profit” can have disastrous consequences, as it did in Ferguson, Missouri, last year. Since it’s nearly impossible to find out how many speeding tickets are written in a given state, the National Motorists Association (NMA) ...

New York City Bans the Hoverboard

The "hoverboard"—a mash-up between a razor scooter and a Segway, sans handles—is a self-balancing two-wheeled personal transportation device, which has made a splash with kids and seems poised to be a huge seller this holiday season. Sure, they might not look exactly like the hoverboards we were promised in a "Back To The Future" view of life in 2015, but the movie got the year right. In New York City, though, zipping down the sidewalk on a hoverboard could get you in trouble. Someone caught riding a hoverboard in public could be subject to a $200 fine, the New York Daily News reported last week. An NYPD spokesman told Time magazine hoverboards are ...
