FBI: Clinton Campaign Official Arrested On Child Rape Charges

One of Hillary Clinton’s campaign officials was arrested Tuesday on child sex abuse charges, the FBI has confirmed.

Joel Davis was caught in possession of explicit child sex images and had attempted to get access to children as young as 2 years old for sex.

Davis was chairman of the International Campaign to Stop Rape and Gender Violence in Conflict charity. He also worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. He’s with her: Joel Davis worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election campaign

Dailymail.co.uk reports: Davis allegedly told undercover FBI agents that he was sexually interested in children of all ages. He is accused of sending the agents sexually explicit photographs of infants and toddlers, including some of the children engaged in sex acts with adults.

The 22-year-old allegedly arranged to meet the nine-year-old daughter of one of the undercover agents and with the purported two-year-old daughter of the officer’s girlfriend.

He allegedly went into detail in the text messages about what sexual activities he intended to engage in with the children.

Prosecutors say Davis repeatedly asked the undercover agent to take naked and sexually explicit pictures and videos of the children and to send them to him.

Following his arrest, Davis allegedly admitted to officers that he had abused a 13-year-old boy in the past and that he kept child porn images on his phone.

‘Having started an organization that pushed for the end of sexual violence, Davis displayed the highest degree of hypocrisy by his alleged attempts to sexually exploit multiple minors,’ FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William F. Sweeney Jr. said.

‘As if this wasn’t repulsive enough, Davis allegedly possessed and distributed utterly explicit images of innocent infants and toddlers being sexually abused by...

UNIONS STOPPED ADVOCATING FOR WORKERS AND BECAME A POLITICAL ARM OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LONG AGO

The ruling in Janus v. AFSCME demonstrates the political divisions in our nation. At some point, we stopped talking to each other and started blaming each other. Unions are wrong to condemn the right to work lobby and influential laws firms like the Fairness Center without looking inward first. This may seem like a strange statement coming form a union boss, however the right to work lobby didn’t have standing to bring a case against a union without a client.

Can you name one employee or union member that would have an issue with a union advocating for better pay, benefits and working conditions? Such advocacy is supposed to be the goal of any union. Unions were once the protectors of middle class workers for issues concerning employment. Now we find them at the front of every social issue. This has resulted in leaving behind the very workers who pay dues for representation at work. Janus, Friedrichs and a host of other litigants were not created by the right. They were pushed from the left. Today, with the polarization in politics, many unions have moved away from being issue advocates and are now closer to being the political arm of the Democratic Party. This is not the only reason for the shift and focus on litigation against unions.

As with any bureaucracy the larger they become the further away from the core mission they seem to move. Soon the bureaucracy is more about protecting itself over protecting the rights of its members. We cannot sacrifice the individual in the interest of collectivism. That does not mean that a union has to sacrifice its goals. The union should always be an issue advocate without regard to political party. I have found most members can respect and reconcile issues even when the union goes against their own political beliefs, however the advocacy has to be based off strictly on the work place. This level of understanding takes proper communication and can only work when the member feels their voice is being heard.

The decision in Janus is narrowly tailored to the issues outlined in the case. The question of full union membership was not before the court, nor was any restriction from the political activity of unions involving full members. The interesting legal aspect in this case is the courts have already ruled that public employees do not have an absolute right when it comes to the first amendment and that a balancing test is required to weigh free speech issues with the government’s interests to deliver services. And now the Supreme Court has established an absolute right under...

Too Soon?

CONVICTED: Muslim gang rape of 14-year-old girl in Canada

Sexual assault and rape is not exclusive to Islam, but only in Islam does it have divine sanction.

One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam.

The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.

Police charged 22-year-old Abas Ahmed Ibrahime, 21-year-old Omar Kromah and 24-year-old Zakariya Mohamed Abdow with sexual assault, sexual interference with a child under 16.

From the works of Robert Spencer: The seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses of those whom Allah has given you as spoils of war” (33:50). 4:3 and 4:24 extend this privilege to Muslim men in general. The Qur’an says that a man may have sex with his wives and with these slave girls: “The believers must win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or the captives whom their right hands possess, for in their case they are free...

The U.S. Must Build More Icebreakers Now!

In January Of 2014 I wrote this article: U.S. Must Build More Icebreakers Now

From what I can tell, we still only have 2 icebreakers. That is barely enough icebreakers to keep saving arctic scientists from getting caught in the ice while trying to prove there is no ice.
Remember When This Global Warming Krew Got Stuck In The Ice?

More Polar Scientists Stuck in the Ice

iceagenow.info just posted this article:

Arctic Ocean almost totally ice-covered – Map

Purple signifies sea-ice thickness of approximately ½ to 1½ meters (20 inches to 5 ft).
Blue or green signifies 1½ to 3 meters ( 5 ft to 10 ft) of ice.
Yellow or orange signifies 3 to 4 meters (10 ft to 13 ft) of ice.
Red signifies 4 to 5 meters (13 ft to 16 ft) of ice.
White signifies zero thickness of ice.

I don’t see much open water. Do you?

The Red Wave: Not What The Democrats Expect...

‘Abolish ICE’ Zealots Show Left’s True Beliefs on Borders

“No ban. No wall. No borders at all.”

That is the radical rallying cry of the Democratic Socialists of America. Waving desecrated U.S. flags, grubby fists, and ratty anarchy banners, DSA’s professional protesters are targeting Trump administration officials, threatening immigration enforcement agents, and blockading detention facilities and processing centers nationwide.

On a similar note, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., proudly marched in a parade last week with a T-shirt emblazoned with “Yo No Creo En Fronteras”—Spanish for “I don’t believe in borders.”

These are abjectly unserious people, operating in bad faith, who pose a serious threat to our nation’s well-being.

In New York, DSA rabble-rousers took over a loading dock used to transport immigrants at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center on Varick Street. Genius move. Now, detainees whose bond hearings were canceled because of the protest disruptions face another six or more extra weeks in detention.

In Portland, Oregon, DSA operatives shut down a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office after preventing workers from exiting the building.

In Detroit, organizers disrupted ordinary processing and appointments at a downtown ICE field office and plan to camp out there 24 hours a day until the end of the month. “Our short-term goal is to shut down operations at this particular center,” ringleader Robert Jay explained.

“Our long-term goal is to abolish ICE entirely.”

This reckless, simpleton sentiment doesn’t belong to the fringe of the American left. It is the center. Across the country, supposedly mainstream Democrats, activist groups, and entertainers are pushing to “Abolish ICE.” To be clear, if the hashtag didn’t clue you in: They don’t just want to reform or reduce the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which was created by merging existing immigration entities after the 9/11 attacks to better coordinate enforcement against alien lawbreakers inside the country.

They want it gone. Zapped. Poof.

CHAOS IN TEHRAN! Iranian Protesters Chase Police Down the Street, Then Torch Their Bikes (VIDEO)

The country of Iran has been hit by a collapse in currency, economic mismanagement by the brutal regime, and impending U.S. sanctions. In the past week several shopkeepers joined the economic protests in the street.

This is the latest round of protests in Iran. There was a mass uprising in January followed by uprising in April-May that saw 1,545 protests.

The Iranian regime sent in the Revolutionary Guards at one point to put down the protesters.
