Top Crazy College Courses of 2017
by Shifra on December 19, 2017Remember when the dumbest college course was “Third World Underwater Basket Weaving” ? Good times… In Tammy’s Washington Times column last week, ‘Drain in Education Swamp,’ she asks: How many conversations have we had with our friends, family and co-workers wondering what happened to the millennials? We expect a new generation to have new ideas and new ways of approaching the world. So how do we explain when a new generation is steeped in bullying, complaining about hurt feelings, demanding “safe spaces,” and using pride in fragile egos and weakened emotional states as the excuse to condemn free speech? Well, the favorite new college courses of 2017 are not exactly serving the millennials very well. Via Washington Examiner. Young America’s...

NYC ‘ISIS-Inspired’ Bombing Suspect ID’d: Akayed Ullah
by Shifra on December 11, 2017The only one seriously injured was the attempted suicide bomber, pictured above. The 5-inch metal pipe bomb strapped to his body exploded prematurely. This could have been a major catastrophe. Via Fox News. A Bangladeshi man reportedly inspired by ISIS set off a pipe bomb inside New York’s Port Authority bus terminal during rush hour Monday morning, sowing mass chaos but causing few injuries — likely because the “attempted terrorist” detonated his “low tech device” prematurely. Akayed Ullah, 27, set off the “effectively low tech device” in a subway passageway just before 7:30 a.m., New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a news conference. Ullah suffered burns and wounds to his body and appeared to be the only person seriously...

DOJ Weighs Federal Charges in Kate Steinle Murder Case, After ‘Not Guilty’ Verdict
by Shifra on December 1, 2017The ‘not guilty’ verdict is a stunning miscarriage of justice. Kate Steinle’s murder was an “accident” ? The jury apparently has more compassion for an illegal alien felon than for an innocent U.S. citizen. Shameful. “Build the Wall!” Via Fox News. The Justice Department is considering bringing federal charges against Jose Ines Garcia Zarate after his not guilty verdict in the Kate Steinle murder trial, department officials told Fox News on Friday. A California jury acquitted Zarate of the more serious charges in the case, including murder, involuntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon — only convicting him of being a felon in possession of a firearm. U.S. immigration officials had said they would deport Garcia Zarate – also...

Deserter Bergdahl Gets Dishonorable Discharge, Dodges Prison
by Shifra on November 3, 2017Soldiers who died searching for Bowe Bergdahl This decision is obscene! “He suffered enough” ? As much as the soldier who is now paralyzed after searching for him? Via NY Post. Confessed deserter and US Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl got a huge break on Friday when a federal judge spared him jail time and instead gave him a dishonorable discharge and a fine of $1,000 a month for the next 10 months. The disgraced soldier, whose disappearance resulted in serious injuries to other military personnel who were searching for him, was also stripped of his rank by the judge, Army Col. Jeffery Nance. Bergdahl, who was held prisoner and tortured by the Taliban for five years after he walked away...

UK To Give Returning ISIS Fighters Taxpayer-Funded Homes and Counseling
by Shifra on October 31, 2017Operation Bribery, er, Constrain ? How about Operation Firing Squad? Via Daily Mail. Terror suspects including jihadis returning from fighting in Syria are to be offered taxpayer-funded homes, counselling and help finding jobs to stop them carrying out attacks in Britain. The top-secret Government strategy, codenamed Operation Constrain, could even allow fanatics to jump to the top of council house waiting lists. Official documents seen by The Mail on Sunday reveal that up to 20,000 extremists previously investigated by MI5 will be targeted with what critics last night described as ‘bribes’ aimed at turning them away from extremism….

French ISIS Jihadis Received $600K in Gov’t Unemployment Benefits
by Shifra on October 27, 2017This is beyond obscene. Via Daily Caller. Some 20 percent of French Islamic State fighters have been collecting social benefits from France to help finance the terror group, newspaper Le Figaro reported Thursday. Jihadis have claimed unemployment benefits and family allowance for years while living in Syria. Over the past five years, some 500,000 euros ($583,200) have gone directly from the French taxpayers to the terror group, according to the report. Investigators have uncovered a scam that involved 420 fraudulent withdrawals by jihadis in 2016 alone. At least 210 people received the money after family members withdrew cash at employment centers across the country. “Armed with their cards and photos, the parents were able to access the funding from the...

Obama $500M Eyesore, er, Prez Library Will Dodge Fed Regs to Save Money
by Shifra on October 11, 2017Mystery solved: Now we know why the Obama Homage to Self, er, Temple of Doom, er, Presidential Library will not house any documents. But really, isn’t an empty building the perfect symbol of his “legacy” ? Via Daily Caller. Officials with the Obama Foundation will circumvent onerous federal standards by creating an online archive for the forthcoming Barack Obama Presidential Center instead of a traditional paper archive. Utilizing a digitized presidential library also means not having to pay fees to the National Archives and Records Administration for management of the library, reports the Chicago Tribune. The $500 million Obama center — a soul-crushing, concrete architectural monstrosity — will feature basketball courts, a recording studio, meeting rooms, an auditorium, a children’s...

North Korea Profits As Their Workers Prep Seafood for US & EU Consumers
by Tammy on October 5, 2017This is crazy. How long will we allow this to continue? Via AP. The workers wake up each morning on metal bunk beds in fluorescent-lit Chinese dormitories, North Koreans outsourced by their government to process seafood that ends up in American stores and homes. Privacy is forbidden. They cannot leave their compounds without permission. They must take the few steps to the factories in pairs or groups, with North Korean minders ensuring no one strays. They have no access to telephones or email. And they are paid a fraction of their salaries, while the rest — as much as 70 percent — is taken by North Korea’s government. This means Americans buying salmon for dinner at Walmart or ALDI may...

Office Workers Trapped In One World Trade Center Elevators As Water Gushes In
by Tammy on September 27, 2017Lovely. One would think with the eyes of the world on this particular building, that New York would have made sure this was perfectly done. Click through for videos of the mess. Via Gothamist. A broken pipe sent water pouring down a stairwell and into an occupied elevator near the top of the World Trade Center Tuesday afternoon.

Woman Arrested After Allegedly Trying To Break In To Prince George’s School
by Tammy on September 13, 2017They caught her, thank goodness. This will prompt a security review at the school, so that’s the silver lining of this situation. If there was a casual approach to Prince George’s security, that had obviously better change. In this coverage, they note police are refusing to say if school was *in session* when this happened. Grrr. Via CNN. A 40-year-old woman is under arrest after allegedly trying to break in to the school in south London where Prince George is a student, the Metropolitan Police said Wednesday. The incident took place Tuesday at Thomas’s Battersea School, an independent fee-paying school with a yearly tuition of £17,604 ($23,000).

Hillary Endorses New Website, Cyberattack Forces Shutdown Hours Later
by Shifra on September 4, 2017Russians? Deplorables? Really, what is it with Hillary and servers? Via Recode. Hillary Clinton is allegedly at the center of another cyber attack — except this time it involves a startup that’s trying to become something of a social network for her political supporters. The saga began Sunday night when Clinton — to the apparent surprise of her followers — took to Twitter to offer her personal endorsement of a new, relatively unknown website called Verrit…. I'm excited to sign up for @Verrit, a media platform for the 65.8 million! Will you join me and sign up too? https://t.co/bOLSMyk6bG — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 3, 2017 The “65.8 million” referenced in Clinton’s tweet refers to her own vote total from...

A local council in Sydney, Australia, has blocked plans for a new synagogue, saying it may become a terrorist target and poses an unacceptable security risk.

Venezuela Detains Oppo Leaders at Gunpoint, Remains on UN Human Rights Council
by Shifra on August 2, 2017Venezuela is running out of food, and it is reported that 75% of population lost 19 pounds amid the crisis. Leave it to the useful idiots who praise socialism, though: They will probably report this as a wonderful step the Venezuelan government is taking to reduce obesity. But which is more laughable, that Venezuela is on the Human Rights Council, or the fact that Saudi Arabia is also a member? Via CNS News. The United Nations’ secretary-general and top human rights official on Tuesday both expressed concern about the political crisis in Venezuela, but neither statement addressed the fact that the Nicolas Maduro regime is a member of the U.N.’s top human rights body. Amid calls for the Human Rights...

As a side note, at...

Mizzou Says 35% Decline in Enrollment Due to 2015 Protests
by Shifra on July 10, 2017Thank you, Captain Obvious, er, University of Missouri. Via Free Beacon. Freshman enrollment at the University of Missouri has fallen by 35 percent since 2015, when racial tensions triggered protests and hunger strikes. The administration at the University of Missouri—commonly called Mizzou—has publicly stated that the decline in enrollment is a backlash from the 2015 protests and families associating the university with racism and anarchical protests, the New York Times reported. “The general consensus was that it was because of the aftermath of what happened in November 2015,” said Mun Choi, the new system president, referring to the climax of the demonstrations. “There were students from both in state and out of state that just did not apply, or those...
