Austria to close 7 mosques, expel imams in crackdown

BERLIN — Austria's government said Friday that it is closing seven mosques and plans to expel imams in a crackdown on "political Islam" and foreign financing of religious groups. Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said the government is shutting a hardline Turkish nationalist mosque in Vienna and dissolving a group called the Arab Religious Community that runs six mosques. The actions by the government are based on a 2015 law that, among other things, prevents religious communities from getting funding from abroad. Interior Minister Herbert Kickl said the residence permits of around 40 imams employed by ATIB, a group that oversees Turkish mosques in Austria, are being reviewed ...

If you thought 2017 was a bad year for corruption in America, you might want to ignore the news in 2018. Before even one month ticked off the calendar, we had seen police officers indicted, elected officials hauled off in handcuffs, and pay-to-play operations with politicians reaching new heights. In other words, we hope federal prosecutors got plenty of rest over the holidays. The usual signs of budget shortfalls, blatant nepotism, and a corrupt police department may already be plaguing your city. If so, get ready for a stormy year and don’t get too attached to your town’s new mayor. To come up with a list of the worst places for ethics violation ...

State Finally Looks at Science, Approves Use of Marijuana to Treat Opioid Addiction
Post Date: 2018-06-08 05:50:43 by Deckard
3 Comments
Making illegal or banning arbitrary substances does nothing to curb their use. In fact, as the increasingly deadly opioid crisis illustrates, it makes matters far worse. What does help to foster improvement, however, is when the state reverses prohibition. The most recent state to figure this out is Pennsylvania, who just added opioid addiction to the list of conditions for which it will allow people to obtain marijuana. Of course, total legalization would be ideal. However, this move by Pennsylvania lawmakers shows that the science can no longer be denied and bureaucrats have to finally admit it. “We have expanded the number of serious medical conditions to include ...

It’s an agency that you wouldn’t think would be in the news much, but the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau became another front in the war against the Trump administration for the Left. Now, acting director Mick Mulvaney has just fired the entire 25-member advisory board, which was starting to criticize the front office. Last night, Mulvaney told its members that they were being replaced. You’re fired, as Trump would say. It’s a purge, some late spring-cleaning but one that could bring this administration into conflict with congressional Democrats (via WaPo): Mick Mulvaney, acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, fired the agency’s ...

Religiosity and political affiliation are the two factors that most divide Americans in their views of pornography, with Democrats and non-religious people the most likely to say it is morally acceptable, Gallup revealed Tuesday. “For the first time on record,” Gallup reports, “a majority of Democrats (53%) say pornography is morally acceptable,” while only about half that share of Republicans (27%) believe pornography to be morally unproblematic. *The acceptance of pornography among Democrats jumped by 11 percentage points in just one year, from 42% in 2017 to 53% in 2018. In the seven years since 2011, the percentage of Democrats approving of pornography has risen ...

Colin Kaepernick is still in the process of trying to prove NFL owners got together and decided not to sign him because of his national anthem protests, and his attorneys are looking to take the case to the next level. Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reports that Kaepernick’s legal team is expected to seek federal subpoenas that would compel Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and other government officials to testify in the free agent quarterback’s collusion case. The goal will be to prove that statements about anthem protests from Trump and his camp directly influenced Kaepernick’s standing with the league.

“You don’t own that plane, the American taxpayers do.” – ‘Stinger’ in Top Gun It is ridiculous, and in many respects it insults the American taxpayer. (From Popular Mechanics) Defense Secretary James Mattis made some frank remarks about the Pentagon’s budget woes last month. “I cannot right now look you in the eye and say that we can tell you that every penny in the past has been spent in a strategically sound manner,” he said during a speech to graduating Air Force cadets in Colorado Springs, CO. “And so this year, for the first time in 70 years, the Pentagon will perform an audit.” It’s about darn time.

“When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.“—Richard Nixon Someone needs to alert Donald Trump: there is no “Get Out of Jail Free” card just for being president. According to Trump’s Twitter feed, he believes that he has an absolute right to pardon himself of any crimes for which he might be charged while serving in office. He’s not alone in this imperial belief. Two of Trump’s lawyers have attempted to float the idea that “the president’s powers are so broad as to make it impossible for him to have obstructed justice.” Rudy Giuliani, another of Trump’s enablers, insists that Trump ...

Developer claims politicians blocked their project to favor a crony who helps the politicians An apartment developer paid millions for prime real estate in Edgewater, New Jersey, with a beautiful view of Manhattan. Nearly 2,000 apartments would be built. The developer also offered to build public parks, parking, a ferry terminal, and a pier, all at no cost to taxpayers. But Edgewater's mayor, Michael McPartland, and city council said: No, you may not build! That's not that unusual. Local officials often keep new developments out. But in this case, they also voted to seize the developer's land using eminent domain. John Stossel asks: Why would they do that? The developer says ...

At least, that's what CNN is reporting this afternoon. Here's how they put it, citing information from "sources familiar with the call: "Trudeau pressed Trump on how he could justify the tariffs as a 'national security' issue. In response, Trump quipped to Trudeau, 'Didn't you guys burn down the White House?'" That is, ...

One of the most important dating tools used in archaeology may sometimes give misleading data, new study shows - and it could change whole historical timelines as a result. The discrepancy is due to significant fluctuations in the amount of carbon- 14 in the atmosphere, and it could force scientists to rethink how A comparison of radiocarbon ages across the Northern Hemisphere suggests we might have been a little too hasty in assuming how the isotope - also known as radiocarbon - diffuses, potentially shaking up controversial conversations on the timing of events in history. By measuring the amount of carbon-14 in the annual growth rings of trees grown in southern Jordan, researchers ...
The Trump Effect: Boeing Will Terminate Selling Aircraft To Iran

On Wednesday, as a result of President Trump’s decision last month to pull the United States out of the disastrous nuclear deal, Boeing announced it will not deliver aircraft to Iran. A Boeing spokesman stated, "We have not delivered any aircraft to Iran, and given we no longer have a license to sell to Iran at this time, we will not be delivering any aircraft. We did not factor the Iran orders into our order backlog either." Boeing had already delayed the delivery dates on the Iran planes; during the Obama Administration, Boeing obtained U.S. Treasury licenses to begin conducting business. In December 2016, Boeing announced it would sell 80 aircraft valued at $16.6 ...

Now It’s Against the Law in California to Shower and Do Laundry on the Same Day

by Daisy Luther Governor Jerry Brown is retiring but not before he passes a few draconian laws as parting gifts for California. Two bills were signed into law on Thursday of last week to “help California be better prepared for future droughts and the effects of climate change.” The mandatory water conservation standards will be permanent, according to their wording, and not just for use in times of crisis. To make a long story short, now that these bills are law, it’s illegal to take a shower and do a load of laundry in the same day because you’ll exceed your “ration.” I’ll explain why I say this in a moment. Here’s the wording of the new laws. Senate ...
