North African Muslim Man In Marseille Slits Throat, Stabs Two Women To Death, Screams ‘Allahu Akbar’

A man at the central train station in Marseille, France, stabbed two women to death Sunday before reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

The attack, which took place at the St. Charles train station, quickly ended after a French soldier shot and killed the man, BBC reports.

Police sources believe the event is a “likely terrorist act.”

Marseille police have urged the public to keep away from the scene and have cordoned off the area.

In response to the deadly assault, French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb announced he was heading to Marseille.

France has been a central target of Islamic terror in Europe. Terror attacks have resulted in approximately 239 deaths since 2015.

From 2015 to the present, the country has been in a continuous state of emergency, which is the longest since the Algerian War in the 1960s. France declared the state of emergency in the aftermath of ...

Carmen Yulin Cruz, the anti-Trump Mayor of San Juan who has used the national spotlight of Hurricane Maria to attack Trump, has a long history of supporting convicted terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera, a Puerto Rican radical who ran a paramilitary group that waged war against the United States.

Since May 29th, 2012, Cruz has used her official Twitter account 49 times to lend support to Lopez, a man arrested by the United States government in May of 1981 for seditious conspiracy against the United States and conspiracy to transport explosives to destroy government property, among other charges. Later that year, Lopez was sentenced to 55 years in jail for his various crimes.

Moreover, it appears Cruz is more than just a supporter of Rivera’s; she appears to be a personal friend of his. On May 29th, 2016, Cruz posted a tribute to Rivera, and wrote “for a great friend, a great patriot: for you Oscar Lopez Rivera.”:

Indeed, Cruz and Lopez appear to be not just friends, but close friends. Several months after President Obama commuted Rivera’s sentence just before he left office, a decision so bizarre even...

Morning Mistress

You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?

It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,

from the beautiful to the repugnant,

from the mysterious to the familiar.

If you decide to open it, you could be disappointed,

you could be inspired, you could be appalled.

This is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended.

You have been warned.

Five days after Hannity moves to prime slot, Rachel Maddow gets TERRIBLE news

The reshuffling that has occurred at Fox News in recent months, from firings, resignations and changes in programming times, is a testament to the power of public opinion and ratings — and the power of management changes.

The network’s most recent move to push Sean Hannity, the staunchest conservative in Fox’s arsenal, back to 9 p.m. against the likes of his far-left MSNBC counterpart, Rachel Maddow, has proven to be a genius move for ratings.

From Politico:

In the first week of the head-to-head battle between Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow, the conservative heavyweight drew significantly higher ratings than his liberal counterpart.

Fox News moved Hannity’s show from 10 p.m. to 9 p.m. as part of a broader shakeup of its prime-time line-up, designed in part to counter a dramatic ratings surge by rival MSNBC, led by Maddow, the biggest ratings winner of the Trump era.

Hannity pulled out all the stops, bringing in Steve Bannon, Bill O’Reilly, Paul Ryan and Rush Limbaugh to boost his numbers. It appears to have worked: The Fox News pundit pulled in an average of 3,498,000 viewers from Monday through Thursday, with 713,000 in the key adult 25-54 demographic, according to early Nielsen figures.

Maddow averaged 2,649,000 viewers, with 599,000 adults 25-54. CNN’s 9 p.m. hour — which usually features Anderson Cooper’s “AC360,” but this week had two special town halls — finished third, with 1,173,000 viewers and 416,000 in the key demographic.

Hannity’s big numbers allow Fox News to...

On the heels of a 17.9 percent drop in ticket sales from one online reseller, another is reporting numbers that almost double that.

We reported Friday that TickPick, an online reseller of tickets for all sorts of events, recorded a drop of 17.9 percent in Week Four ticket purchases over Week Three.

Now another online broker of tickets, TicketCity, is reporting a drop by a whopping 31 percent over last week, The Blaze is reporting.

At the same time last year, ticket sales dropped, but not nearly by this level.

“We have seen a massive decrease in NFL ticket purchases this past week in comparison to years past. Week 3 seems to usually have less ticket orders than week 2, but this year ticket purchases are down more than 7 percent from this time last year,” said TickPick’s Jack Slingland.

This should really come as no surprise. After a third week of mass protests by the NFL – the teams, the players, and now the entire league – ratings are swirling the toilet bowl.

“There are people who are saying that this is my form of entertainment and I don’t want politics in my entertainment,” said TickPick co-CEO Brett Goldberg, emphasizing that he doesn’t personally share that viewpoint, in an interview.

It’s not just ticket sales that are taking a hit.

Through the first three weeks of the season, viewership for national telecasts of NFL games is down 11 percent compared to last year.

The games averaged 17.63 million viewers for the first three weeks of last season, but have dropped to just 15.65 million this year.

The ratings have bombed because the NFL has politicized the games. People on the right are critical of the demonstrations against the National Anthem, and leftists are angry at the perceived mistreatment of their hero...
