Germany Releases, Deports Moroccan 9/11 Accomplice
by Shifra on October 16, 2018Fifteen years behind bars for accessory to murdering 2,997 people. Nice going, Germany. NOT. Via NY Post. That’s a real killer smile. A Moroccan man convicted of helping the 9/11 terrorists carry out their plot flashed a huge grin as he flew home a free man on Monday after being released early from his meager sentence in Germany. Mounir el Motassadeq was sentenced to just 15 years behind bars for accessory to murder in 2006, but received credit for time served after his initial arrest in 2001 — and was freed shortly before finishing even that stretch to be deported to his homeland. German courts ruled that he was part of the so-called “Hamburg cell” with ringleader Mohamed Atta and...

Ocasio-Cortez Laments Diner Closing, Omits Her Policy Caused Shutdown
by Shifra on August 22, 2018150 workers lost their jobs at The Coffee Shop in Manhattan due to skyrocketing rents…and the increased minimum wage. But for someone who thinks “Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs,” she could probably not understand the connection between raising the minimum wage and job loss. But… Yay Socialism! Via Free Beacon. Socialist New York congressional hopeful Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lamented the closing of her former employer but glided over the fact that it was closing because of the minimum-wage hikes she supports… “The restaurant I used to work at is closing its doors. I swung by today to say hi one last time and kid around with friends like old times,” she said on Monday. “I’m a normal, working...

Venezuela Inflation On Track To Hit 1,000,000% By End of Year
by Shifra on July 25, 2018Wow, inflation at one million percent! Yes, kids, isn’t Socialism fun? As the “Sage of the Bronx” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells it, Socialism is all about “healthcare, housing and education.” Strange, though, she does not mention food…because in Socialist Venezuela, a 2016 study found that 15% of Venezuelans are eating from the trash, while others are killing flamingos and anteaters for food. But this political cartoon from A.F. Branco sums it up best: Via CBC. Venezuela’s inflation rate is already at least 46,000 per cent, but things are about to get much worse. Yesterday, the International Monetary Fund predicted that the country’s real GDP will drop about 18 per cent this year — the third straight year the economy will contract...

New Gaza Terror Tactic: ‘Fire’ Falcon Found in Israel
by Shifra on July 17, 2018Remember how ridiculous the Arab world sounded when Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, was accused of training sharks to attack swimmers, in order to ruin Egypt’s tourism industry? And when a vulture tagged by Israeli scientists flew into Saudi Arabia…and was arrested for being a spy ? But this story is no laughing matter. Gazans sending incendiary kites and balloons over the border to burn down Israeli vineyards, farmlands and nature reserves, have sunk to a new low: A falcon was found dead, in a tree, attached to a harness with flammable material. It seems their hatred for Israel is greater than their respect for life, human or animal. Via Jerusalem Post. An employee from the National Parks Authority (NPA) spotted...

UK Schools Remove Analog Clocks… Because Teenagers ‘Cannot Tell Time’
by Shifra on May 2, 2018Exam rooms are switching to digital clocks to reduce students’ stress. But at least they haven’t yet installed any cry closets. Via Telegraph. Schools are removing analogue clocks from examination halls because teenagers are unable to tell the time, a head teachers’ union has said. Teachers are now installing digital devices after pupils sitting their GCSE and A-level exams complained that they were struggling to read the correct time on an analogue clock. Malcolm Trobe, deputy general secretary at the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said youngsters have become accustomed to using digital devices. “The current generation aren’t as good at reading the traditional clock face as older generations,” he told The Telegraph….

As Trump Tower Burned, Leading to Fatality, Liberals Cheered
by Shifra on April 8, 2018The haters may delude themselves into believing they are “patriots” who “care about our country,” but they expose themselves as unhinged and soulless. Via NY Post. Folk-rock legend David Crosby is in hot water after firing off a tasteless tweet cheering on Saturday evening’s deadly inferno at Trump Tower. “[O]h boy ……burn baby burn,” wrote the ‘60s music icon in a since-deleted post as the fatal blaze raged on the 50th floor of the Fifth Avenue high-rise, screenshots of the offending tweet show. Though the message didn’t specifically mention Trump Tower, when fellow user @JeffreyGuterman tweeted Crosby asking if he was referencing the blaze, the 76-year-old folkie replied, “yes Jeffrey,” screenshots show…. A relic from the "peace & love" generation...

Pelosi ‘Promises’ to Repeal GOP Tax Cuts When Dems ‘Retake’ House
by Shifra on April 5, 2018This is why we need to be very active in making sure the Democrats don’t get another chance, after eight disastrous years of Obama, to turn the US economy back into a dumpster fire. And since Nancy Pelosi has an net worth of over $43M, she doesn’t much use for “crumbs.” Via Free Beacon. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) on Wednesday said Democrats would seek to enact a “comprehensive” tax reform plan if they took Congress back from Republicans. Pelosi said at a town hall that the tax code needs to be completely reformed after Republicans passed their legislation last year, in a clip posted at NTK Network. She was asked whether Democrats would seek to change specific...

Obama: I Want to Create ‘A Million Young Barack Obamas’
by Shifra on March 26, 2018If Barack Obama wants to do something positive, he should stop encouraging traumatized teens to spew their rage and confusion on the national stage. Via Washington Examiner. Former President Barack Obama talked about his future plans for his post-presidency life at a conference Sunday in Japan, addressing how he might shape “a million” new, young leaders in his mold. The wide-ranging discussion repeatedly touched on the Obama Foundation’s efforts to engage the digital space to help young people in the U.S. and across the world get connected. “If I could do that effectively, then — you know — I would create a hundred or a thousand or a million young Barack Obamas or Michelle Obamas,” Obama said. “Or, the next...

Bad News: Matt Damon Is Not Moving to Australia To Run Away From Trump
by Shifra on March 18, 2018Phooey! Via USA Today. A publicist for Matt Damon is batting down reports that the actor is moving to Australia with his family, and that such a move would have been inspired by anger over President Donald Trump. The Daily Telegraph newspaper in Sydney had reported that Damon was buying a home in Byron Bay near actor Chris Hemsworth. The two recently appeared in Thor: Ragnarok together. Damon spokeswoman Jennifer Allen said Damon has been to Australia a lot recently. But Damon has not bought a home there nor is he relocating there, she said….

Chicago Students Trash Walmart During Anti-Gun Walkout
by Shifra on March 16, 2018Students were given seventeen minutes to leave the school building to protest the seventeen deaths in Parkland. Instead, a group of students ran across the street, stealing candy and knocking over displays. Fortunately, the attack was caught on surveillance cameras, and when they are found and charged with misdemeanors, let’s hope they get a “civics lesson” they will never forget. Via Daily Caller. It was supposed to be 17 minutes of silent protest in honor of the 17 people killed last week in Parkland, Florida, in the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. But on the south side of Chicago Wednesday morning, there was no silence as students who walked out of nearby Simeon Career Academy trashed a...

Oakland Café Doubles Down On Refusing to Serve Cops
by Shifra on March 13, 2018Something is very wrong with Oakland. And, as they say, “The fish rots from the head.” Yes, that would be Mayor Libby Schaaf. Via Daily Signal. Owners of a California coffee shop doubled down on their refusal to serve police officers, claiming cops threaten their “physical and emotional safety.” The Hasta Muerte Coffee owners refused service to a Latino police sergeant March 8 and are now defending that decision despite growing outrage, KTVU reported. The shop is a worker-owned collective with a mural criticizing police shootings and the militarization of law enforcement. Oakland’s police union wrote a letter to the owners complaining about the measure. A local city councilman said while he disagrees with the policy, there aren’t any plans...

New Crime Wave Sweeping America: Tuba Thefts
by Shifra on March 11, 2018Stealing tubas is now a thing. Who knew? Via WSJ. The shiny brass Mario Corso tuba stood out for 12 years as one of the largest members of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band in New Orleans. It is roughly 4 feet long and weighs 38.5 pounds, which makes what happened last month sound like someone blowing hot air. A thief ran off with it, presumably slowly. “What were they thinking?” says Ben Jaffe, the band’s creative director, who owned and played the sousaphone, a deep-pitched marching-band-style tuba. “What are they going to do with it?” The horn heist unfolded while the band was loading equipment into a van, which at some point was unattended, after a Feb. 24 New Orleans...

IOC: U.S. Women’s Hockey Team Violated Rules With Patriotic Design
by Shifra on February 13, 2018The IOC might ask the women to change their masks to something “more neutral” than an image of a bald eagle and the Statue of Liberty. My suggestion: Maybe a pic of Otto Warmbier dragged off in chains by N. Korean guards. Via Washington Times. Team USA women’s hockey goalies Nicole Hensley and Alex Rigsby are playing in the 2018 Winter Olympics wearing goaltender masks with a patriotic design. It includes an American-themed shield, a bald eagle and an image of the Statue of Liberty. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) says that runs afoul of their rules. Hensley and Rigsbymay be told to change their masks to something more neutral, according to reports. The IOC has guidelines for what athletes...

Did DNC Deputy Chairman Keith Ellison Lie About His Involvement With Farrakhan?
by Shifra on February 11, 2018Don’t hold your breath waiting for liberal news sites to call out the CBC’s shameful association with vicious hate-monger Louis Farrakhan. Via WSJ. When Rep. Keith Ellison ran for Democratic National Committee chairman, he faced questions about past associations with the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan. On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in December 2016, Mr. Ellison angrily accused his critics of a “smear campaign” for “talking about something that happened in 1995,” when Mr. Ellison was 32. It turns out Mr. Ellison—who lost his bid but is now the DNC’s deputy chairman—wasn’t telling the full story. In 2006, during his first run for Congress from Minnesota, Mr. Ellison conceded he had worked with the Nation of Islam for 18 months...

by Shifra on January 3, 2018George Ciccariello-Maher, the Drexel University professor who tweeted last winter “All I Want For Christmas is White Genocide” resigned from his tenured position, and now says he has been hired by New York University. When reached for comment by Campus Reform, Ciccariello-Maher said, “F**k ya’ll.” Yes, spoken like a true Leftist wingnut, er, “scholar.” Via Washington Examiner.
