STILL NO ANSWERS FROM DNC ONE WEEK AFTER PLEDGING TO REVIEW ELLISON ALLEGATIONS
One week after the Democratic National Committee(DNC) announced it was “reviewing” domestic abuse allegations against Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the DNC has yet to provide the public with any updates on the allegations against him.
Ellison, the deputy chair of the DNC, is accused of physically and emotionally abusing his ex-girlfriend, liberal Sierra Club activist Karen Monahan. Ellison has vehemently denied Monahan’s allegations.
The DNC released a statement Aug. 14, just hours before Ellison locked up the party’s nomination for Minnesota attorney general, pledging to review the Ellison allegations, which the committee said “should be taken seriously.”
“These allegations recently came to light and we are reviewing them,” the DNC said in a statement, after initially remaining silent for 72 hours after the allegations came to light. “All allegations of domestic abuse are disturbing and should be taken seriously.”
But one week later, the DNC has yet to provide the public with any updates on its review, raising questions about just how seriously the committee is about addressing the controversy. The DNC did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for an update on the Ellison allegations. –

Illegal alien allowed to thwart 2012 ICE detainer commits multiple rapes, and finally meets justice
A 37-year-old Mexican national living in Joliet, who was ordered deported in 2012, was given 80 years in prison on Monday after he admitted last May to beating and raping two women, The Chicago Tribune reported.
“You should not have been in this country,” Judge David Carlson told Miguel C. Luna. “The system let the victims down in this case.”
One of the victims applauded as the sentence was handed down.
According to the Chicago Tribune:
Luna pleaded guilty in May to beating and sexually assaulting two women who were running on the trail near Rockdale and Channahon in 2015 and 2016. Luna confessed to raping a third woman who has since died. Prosecutors played in court a videotaped interview the third woman gave to investigators when Luna was arrested in May, 2016.
Prosecutors presented evidence that the early-morning attacks on women were premeditated. In a videotaped confession played in court, Luna admitted wearing surgical gloves, concealing his face and using a shirt to wipe blood off a victim’s arm to remove fingerprints.
Asking the judge for the maximum sentence, Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Fillipitch said Luna “did not want to be caught.”
“If anything, he’d become a more clever and crafty sexual predator if given the opportunity to do so,” she said.
A fugitive warrant for Luna’s arrest was issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement but he was never deported. He was arrested in 2015. Facing 16 to 40 years on each of the two felony criminal sexual assault counts, Luna was ordered by Carlson on Monday to serve the sentences consecutively, to serve at least 85 percent of the sentences – which would amount to 68 years – and to register as a sex offender if he is released from prison at some time in the future.
“You were free to do these acts…whether through misguided political correctness or people who do not believe in laws or borders,” Carlson said. “One thing I can do with the sentence is show that...
The Socialist Party Platform Is Pathetic and Ignorant
Now, the Socialist Party has updated its platform of 106 years ago. A century of monumental historical events has transpired since 1912, and we can see that while the rhetoric has changed, the contempt for and vilification of the USA are the fundamental premises of the socialists' 2018-2019 document.
No matter what an uninformed, inconsequential figurehead like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or her mentor, the ever bloviating Bernie Sanders, may say, on one tiresome Marxist point, there is continuity from 100 years ago. Although they are running as democratic socialists within the Democratic Party, their emphasis on "socialism" warrants our looking at the platform of the Socialist Party 2018-2019. This latest platform states, "[W]e call for social ownership and democratic control of productive resources, for a guarantee to all of the right to participate in societal production, and to a fair share of society's product, in accordance with individual needs." That point expresses the desire for governmental ownership of the means of production, an axiom of Marxist theory.
Further, the socialists designate who will have control over the wealth and means of production. It won't be the multinational corporations or the millions of smaller corporations and mom-and-pop businesses that still exist. No. They state, "Socialism will establish a new social and economic order in which workers and community members will take responsibility for and control of their interpersonal relationships, their neighborhoods, their local government, and the production and distribution of all goods and services." This is nothing less than a restatement of the Leninist-Stalinist idea of workers' councils ("soviets"), but it throws in the words "community" or "neighborhoods" to make the socialists' vision seem more America-friendly. They want their vision to sound less centralized than it really is. They want it to sound more...
