Muslim YouTube user arrested after livestreaming bomb threat hoax at University of Washington

It was just a prank. There was no actual bomb. But it was good for laughs, right? What could be funnier than announcing to a roomful of Infidels that they’re about to die a horrible death? And it has the added bonus effect of striking terror in the hearts of the enemies of Allah (cf. Qur’an 8:60).

“Arab Andy” is just an irresponsible and reckless prankster who has now gotten himself into serious trouble by taking his pranks too far. That he would choose to do this particular prank is a dispiriting sign of the times.

“Jammal Harraz charged with bomb threat over ‘Arab Andy’ YouTube prank video,” by Andrew Blake, Washington Times, June 2, 2018:

Police have charged a person with making a bomb threat over a stunt streamed live on the internet from the University of Washington this week.

Jammal Hassan Harraz was arrested Thursday evening over an apparent prank broadcast live on YouTube from a classroom inside the university’s Seattle campus.

Mr. Harraz remained in jail Saturday after a judge set bail at $75,000, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office website. He’s due back in court June 5, Seattle’s KOMO News reported.

Footage originally streamed from the “Arab Andy” channel on YouTube showed the incident unfolding moments after a...

Shocker! White Supremacist Kidnapping of Black Youth Was a Hoax

Teen Zavion Parker, 13 years old, said he was robbed and kidnapped after getting off his school bus last month. The kidnappers told him they did it because he is black. He described the adult and four young men who grabbed him as white supremacists.

Zavion claimed to have been pulled into a red truck taken to a home and beaten.

Michelle Lee, the teen’s mother, told Eyewitness News her son managed to escape the gun-wielding kidnappers.

“The reason why they got him was because they said he was black. ‘You deserve to die.’ Exactly his words,” Lee told ABC13 in May. “Saying the dad had, like, a white muscle shirt on, and you could see it, was right here big as day. ‘I hate black people.'”

The mother said she received texts from the kidnappers.

“I’m going to kill him,” someone wrote to Lee, in text messages shared with Newsweek. The person claimed they were “not a kid” and admitted to kidnapping Zavion. Lee said the messages have been given to Houston Police.

The suspects who allegedly kidnapped Zavion told the boy they had abducted him “because you’re black,” Ms. Lee told Newsweek. The adult driver, who was described by Houston Police to KTRK as a heavily built white man with straight orange hair, has a racial tattoo on his....

The liberal media is buzzing madly this last hour following Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s surprise announcement he will be canceling the upcoming August recess in order to allow the Senate to push for passage of more of President Trump’s America First agenda.

And guess who forced him to do so? YOU DID. That’s right, if you are among the millions of Donald Trump supporters out there it’s you who now has the Republican leadership bending the knee and acknowledging you hold the keys to the party’s future.

The Republican Party is Trump’s party. That is an undeniable fact now and while Establishment Republicans hate that thought – they cannot deny its truth.

If they are to hold on to the Senate and the House they must appear to be fighting with the president and not against him. That is the reason for McConnell’s move to cancel the August recess. Yes, it’s largely a publicity stunt more than a substantive move to more fully embrace the Trump agenda, but nevertheless, it signals the power of Trump and those who support him.

It also means the seats of power are subtly shifting as well. The Freedom Caucus is more powerful than ever while McConnell-like Republicans have seen their control over the party lessening.

Now if only that canceled August recess could be used to bring an end to the ridiculous and phony...

Gen. Robert B. Abrams, Commanding General,
U.S. Army Forces Command

A top Army general on Monday approved the sentence that was handed down on former Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who did not receive any prison time after pleading guilty in October to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy after deserting his outpost in Afghanistan. He was held captive by the Taliban for five years.

Military Judge Col. Jeffery Nance in November ruled that Bergdahl will not serve prison time after being accused of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.

Chief of U.S. Army Forces Command Gen. Robert Abrams upheld the sentence on Monday.

Bergdahl was sentenced to a drop in rank from sergeant to private, forfeiture of $10,000 in pay, and a dishonorable discharge from the military, which means he will not be eligible to receive medical or other benefits.

A top Army general on Monday approved the sentence handed down to Pvt. Bowe Bergdahl, the former Taliban captive who was spared prison time after pleading guilty to desertion and misbehavior charges last year.

He could have served a life sentence in prison. The prosecutors said Bergdahl should receive 14 years in prison and a punitive discharge from the military. Bergdahl’s defense attorneys had argued in favor of leniency, and said he should receive a dishonorable discharge and no prison time – that he has faced enough punishment after five years of captivity.

After Bergdahl left his post in 2009, he was held as a Taliban prisoner until 2014, when the Obama Administration was able to get him back to the United States through a prisoner swap. Bergdahl was released in exchange for five Guantanamo Bay detainees. His sentencing hearings were held in military court at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and lasted several days.

Nance had said he would still be able to hand down a fair sentence, despite comments made by President Donald Trump that Bergdahl was a “traitor.” Nance had delayed the start of the hearings by two days when the defense filed a last-minute motion over comments Trump had made in the past as a candidate, and again as...
