Muslim Leader Warns of “Perils” of Western Democracy:
Our Children Become U.S. Soldiers, FBI Agents, Republicans, Democrats, and Gay
Okay, here come the charges of Islamophobia. [A made-up word that is not racist nor bigoted] This is not just some run-of-the mill leader, but someone whom a whole lot of Muslims listen to.
This is the same Muslim who in 2016 told Muslims that Islam ‘is not here to integrate. It is here to dominate. Islam is here to dominate!‘
And here’s the nexus of his message:
But what we need to understand is that the battle between us and the West is an ideological battle. It’s an ideological battle. Everything we represent goes in total contradiction to what the West represents, because all of Islam is in opposition to secularism. They know this, and it is time that we did too.
Too many are asleep to the dangers presented by these people. And yes, the apologists claim “the vast majority of Muslims are moderates who eschew violence.” If snakes are hiding in the grass, one should mow the grass to ensure they can’t hide there any more.
How Money and Politics Drive FBI Corruption
Do you think you or I could manage to make $30 million in stock plus a salary of
$6 million in one year working for Lockheed Martin? Well, if you had a high-ranking government job where you sent business there way you could.
That’s exactly what ex-FBI Director Comey did in 2009.
And then we have Mueller who made $3.5 million a year giving speeches and representing clients he’d previously enriched.
Corruption?
You’re kidding. Right?
[Let’s ignore all the millions upon millions made by “public servants” who’ve never done anything in their lives beside being politicians.]

Trump Cuts More Than $200M in Aid to Palestinians
About damned time we stopped supporting this terrorist organization. Let Iran keep pumping in money, we can use ours better elsewhere.
From the department's mouth: "At the direction of President Trump, we have undertaken a review of US assistance to the Palestinian Authority and in the West Bank and Gaza to ensure these funds are spent in accordance with US national interests and provide value to the US taxpayer. ... This decision [to redirect more than $200 million] takes into account the challenges the international community faces in providing assistance in Gaza, where Hamas control endangers the lives of Gaza's citizens and degrades an already dire humanitarian and economic situation," the notice said, without providing additional details.
U.S. Navy received two new Littoral Combat Ships
Will these stay afloat without falling apart like the previous ones?
Lockheed Martin and Fincantieri Marinette Marine have delivered the future USS Sioux City, Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) 11, and future USS Wichita, LCS 13, to the U.S.Navy.
I always wonder why an aircraft company is building ships. What the hell has happened to the old tried-and-true ones?
Lockheed Martin’s Freedom-variant LCS is a highly maneuverable, lethal and adaptable ship, designed to support focused-missions in the areas of mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare and surface warfare. The Freedom-variant LCS integrates new technology and capability to affordably support current and future mission capability from deep water to the littorals.
Court strikes down Trump measures on firing federal workers
An Obama-appointed federal judge strikes down several key provisions in President Trump's executive orders that he signed earlier this year that would have made it easier to fire federal workers.
In a court ruling, U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote that unions were right in arguing that the provisions included in the orders infringed upon areas that are negotiated between federal employee unions and the government.
Jackson, an appointee of former President Obama, wrote that the orders “impair the ability of agency officials to keep an open mind, and to participate fully in give-and-take discussions, during collective bargaining negotiations.”
In other words, an Obozo flunky disregards the executive authority of the president to make his own rules. What’s new? That’s exactly why we need to president to nominate more level-headed judges to the federal bench so they can overrule political activism of guys like this.

Judge blocks Trump executive orders on federal union operations @ https://hotair.com/archives/2018/08/25/judge-blocks-trump-executive-orders-federal-union-operations/
Where have we read this before? The president signs an executive order designed to clean up the mess in the federal government and those against it find some federal judge to block it.
Before getting to the details of this highly questionable ruling, we should first note that the judge in the case is Ketanji Brown Jackson. She’s an Obama appointee who has been on the fast track in progressive politics, having been interviewed for further advancement to the Supreme Court by Obama after only spending a handful of years at the District Court. Earlier, Obama had appointed her to the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Prior to that, she was a clerk for Stephen Breyer.
Surprised? When and how can we put an end to “judge shopping?”
What Pelosi Will do if the Dims Win the House
This is exactly what makes the midterms so vital to the future of this country. They’ve got it all mapped out.
Congressional Republicans are getting ready for hell. Axios has obtained a spreadsheet that's circulated through Republican circles on and off Capitol Hill — including at least one leadership office — that meticulously previews the investigations Democrats will likely launch if they flip the House.
Why this matters: Publicly, House Republicans are putting on a brave face about the midterms. But privately, they are scrambling to prepare for the worst. This document, which catalogs requests Democrats have already made, is part of that effort.
It has churned Republican stomachs. Here are some of the probes it predicts:
President Trump’s tax returns
Trump family businesses — and whether they comply with the Constitution's emoluments clause, including the Chinese trademark grant to the Trump Organization
Trump's dealings with Russia, including the president's preparation for his meeting with Vladimir Putin
The payment to Stephanie Clifford — a.k.a. Stormy Daniels
James Comey's firing
Trump's firing of U.S. attorneys
Trump's proposed transgender ban for the military
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's business dealings
White House staff's personal email use
Cabinet secretary travel, office expenses, and other misused perks
Discussion of classified information at Mar-a-Lago
Jared Kushner's ethics law compliance
Dismissal of members of the EPA board of scientific counselors
The travel ban
Family separation policy
Hurricane response in Puerto Rico
Election security and hacking attempts
White House security clearances
The spreadsheet — which I'm told originated in a senior House Republican office — catalogs more than 100 formal requests from House Democrats this Congress, spanning nearly every committee.
The spreadsheet includes requests for administration officials to be grilled by committee staff, requests for hearings to obtain sworn testimony, efforts to seize communications about controversial policies and personnel decisions, and subpoena threats.
These demands would turn the Trump White House into a 24/7 legal defense operation.
The bottom line: Thanks to their control of Congress, Republicans have blocked most of the Democrats’ investigative requests. But if the House flips, the GOP loses its power to stymie. Lawyers close to the White House tell me the Trump administration is nowhere near prepared for the investigatory onslaught that awaits them, and they consider it among the greatest threats to his presidency.

“Red wave” alert: Oregon Governor race
The DimocRAT incumbent was considered a shoo-in to keep the seat. Polls in January had her leading by 17 points over Knute Buehler.
But as the year wore on, while nobody was paying much attention, something began to change. By the middle of July, a Gravis Research poll had the race in a dead heat. Two weeks ago a Clout Research survey had Buehler pulling ahead by one.
Could it possibly be that the recent Antifa protests in Portland are changing public opinion of the Dims?

3 Kinds of Jobs That Will Thrive as Automation Advances
Something vital for our young people to know.
First, we will see more and more business for creators, people who can anticipate the rapidly evolving needs of individual customers and design and deliver creative and highly tailored products and services.
Second, we will see a growing category of work for composers — people who deeply understand the aspirations and needs of small niches of customers and who can compose engaging and rewarding experiences for those people.
Finally, we will see a third category of work for coaches who will help customers achieve more of their potential in various domains.
And, far from depriving us of work and squashing our humanity, technology can provide us with the opportunity to focus on work and activities that will help us to achieve more and more of our potential. What better service could technology provide?
Buying organic veggies at the supermarket is a waste of money
Having lived on a farm, I’ve always believed this organic hype to be nothing but a marketing ploy.
Higher price doesn’t really mean higher quality
Organic produce is not necessarily better for the environment
Any health benefits from organic produce are teeny-tiny
Even the “Dirty Dozen” vegetables we’re told to avoid aren’t really that dirty
[they are: Strawberries, Spinach, Nectarines, Apples, Grapes, Peaches, Cherries, Pears, Tomatoes, Celery, Potatoes, and Sweet Bell Peppers. + Hot peppers. From https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php ]
Organic farms don’t treat their workers any better
And there’s no reason to expect your organic vegetables to taste better, either
The best option? Grow your own if you can. Or buy them from the local farmers market.
Chicago's 'predatory' funeral homes making a killing in US murder capital
As of Aug 8, 344 people killed in Chicago according to the Chicago Tribune. The same source says 1,944 have been shot so far as of August 19.
And the ones really making a killing are the funeral homes!
I don’t know where the figures come from but I can only find that the State of Illinois pays about $1,600 and SSI only pays $255.
Funeral homes in Chicago have been accused of cashing in on the city’s crime wave. Advocates claim they are taking advantage of a taxpayer-funded scheme that pays $7,500 in funeral expenses to homicide victims’ families.
Some funeral directors have been reportedly inflating prices or charging families for services they never received.
“Every funeral home in the state knows that victims get $7,500 for a funeral and it’s their goal to charge the entire amount because it’s easy money,” Susan Johnson, executive director of Chicago Survivors, told Fox News.

NYC: Muslim who set fire at gas station getting psychiatric evaluation, cops can’t find motive
I read headlines like this and shake my head in bewilderment. What is it they are refusing to admit? That Islam is a violent cult and its followers do things to destroy western civilization?
“He was ordered to appear in court on Aug. 17 for a conference,” but this story drops out of sight after the August 8 report below. Either the August 17 conference was postponed or it was held in secrecy.
Meanwhile, cops “could not provide a motive.” Jihad? You mean the interior spiritual struggle within the soul of every Muslim, to strive harder to obey Allah? What could that possibly have to do with setting a fire at a gas station, you greasy Islamophobe? What else could this attack possibly be, besides more of the global outbreak of mental illness? Hence the psychiatric investigation.
