Even If It Costs Them Everything...


Migrant reported for rape by German father who gave him a job

A migrant who was housed in the town of Brüggen is said to have raped the teenage daughter of his host. The perpetrator remains at large. For reasons of victim protection protecting the traitorous politicians, the public was not informed, police claim.

The “refugee” is said to have raped the teenager, and on October 29, immediately after the assault, the young girl accompanied her parents to the police station and reported the rape.

After research by the editor of the Rheinische Post a major German regional daily newspaper, it was revealed that the teenager had visited “two young men” in a flat where they drank alcohol. A 26-year-old then left the room, and the 22-year-old is said to have stayed behind after which he raped the teenager.

The police made enquiries and found the perpetrators, but they have not arrested the 22-year-old. “We do not have an urgent suspicion at the moment,” said Lothar Gathen, spokesman for the prosecutor in Mönchengladbach on Thursday.

There is also no risk of absconding, since the two defendants were in places that are known to the investigators, he said. The 22-year-old denies the act. He comes from Iraq according to police. The man is said to have lived in an accommodation for asylum seekers in Brüggen, but now no longer stay there, but with relatives in Essen.

The adolescent girl and the 22-year-old suspect evidently knew each other from the company where the young man was employed. The girl’s father had offered the migrant a job and has long been committed to the integration of “refugees” into the labor market.

He regularly offers internships and other support to migrants. The 22-year-old had been working for him since March, he said in an interview with the editorial staff.

The father is stunned that the migrant employee has raped his daughter: “That is very dreadful. That was a person whom I trusted. The event is horrible for us,” said the father. The daughter now struggles to sleep and has regular panic attacks. The father said he felt a great helplessness, “especially because that was a person who was so trusted”.

The police are continuing their investigation. There are many contradictions in the statements made by the parties, said police spokesman Wolfgang Goertz. The case will be handed over to the prosecutor in the coming days .

The prosecutor will then decide whether there are enough facts to go ahead with the case. Both the defendant and the adolescent are now represented by lawyers.

The fact that the police did not immediately inform the public about the migrant’s alleged rape was not due to the fact that the police wanted to sweep anything under the rug, police spokesman Goertz said.

“We did not communicate that for reasons of...

Meet the U.S. Army's 5 Next Super Weapons (Russia and China Should Worry)

The U.S. Army already fields an impressive array of weapons. But as the U.S. Army prepares itself for potential conflicts against high-tech Russian and Chinese armies , the Army is working on a slew of new systems ranging from tanks to missiles.

The result will be the gradual disappearance of the familiar weapons born during the Cold War -- the Abrams tanks and Apache helicopters -- that symbolize America's arsenal. In their place will be a new generation of weapons.

Here are five that we will likely see in the coming years:

1. Next-Generation Combat Vehicle:

Since the 1980s, the backbone of the Army's armor force has been the M-1 Abrams tank and M-2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle. Both designs have been upgraded and modernized over the years -- the latest M1A2 has far better sensors and electronics than a 1980s M1 -- but these are essentially 40-year-old designs meant to stop a Soviet tank assault across the Fulda Gap. The counterinsurgency "small wars" of the past two decades has made armor secondary to infantry boots on the ground, but as the U.S. refocuses on the prospect of mechanized "big war" against Russia and China, there is new love for tanks.

The Army's Next-Generation Combat Vehicle program aims to create a 21st Century armor fleet, including a new main battle tank, infantry fighting vehicle, self-propelled gun and even robot tanks. The defense industry is pitching several designs , such as BAE's Swedish-designed CV90 infantry carrier. But whatever vehicles are chosen will reflect the enormous changes in technology over the past four decades: active protection systems to stop anti-tank missiles, tactical networks, and even drones as an integral part of the vehicle's systems. And for a really futuristic design, take a look at DARPA's Ground X-Vehicle Technologiesprogram, and the conceptual art of a tank that looks like a dune buggy.

2. Maneuver-Short-Range Air Defense (MSHORAD):


Snuggled under the protection of the U.S. Air Force, and facing low-tech opponents like the Taliban, the Army's tactical air defenses have lapsed since the Cold War. But with the proliferation of drones, and the threat of high-tech Russian and Chinese aircraft and helicopters, the skies aren't looking so friendly for the ground-pounders. For now, the Army is opting for a stopgap solution that mounts Stinger anti-aircraft missiles on a Stryker light armored vehicle. But the Army plans to mount directed energy weapons -- lasers -- on the Stryker, which can engage targets more quickly than missiles, and don't run out of ammunition (except for electricity).

3. Robot tanks: 

These were once the stuff of science fiction. But the fact that the U.S. Army has a program called Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle attests to the rise of the machine. The Army already has a robot test vehicle: an armed, remote-controlled M113 armored personnel carrier, and is vigorously pursuing autonomous trucks that can haul supplies without a driver.

3 Times Previous Presidents Closed the Southern Border

On three past occasions, presidents temporarily closed the southern border, something President Donald Trump threatened Monday to do permanently.

Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan both closed the border over drug-related issues that halted entry from Mexico into the United States.

President Lyndon B. Johnson, shortly after taking office amid crisis, closed the border after the assassination of his predecessor, John F. Kennedy.

While Johnson’s example was unique, all three cases dealt with a president’s authority to act on the border during an emergency. The Trump administration has determined that the series of “caravans” of thousands of Central American migrants headed to the border is an emergency.

With Nixon in 1969 and Reagan in 1985—as is the case today—the United States was trying to pressure the Mexican government’s law enforcement into stepping up its efforts.

Trump tweeted early Monday:

Mexico should move the flag waving Migrants, many of whom are stone cold criminals, back to their countries. Do it by plane, do it by bus, do it anyway you want, but they are NOT coming into the U.S.A. We will close the Border permanently if need be. Congress, fund the WALL!

Before boarding Marine One on Monday afternoon, Trump told a gaggle of reporters: “Mexico wants to see if they can get it straightened out, but we’ve, during certain times as you know, closed the border. … Here’s the bottom line, nobody is going to come into this country unless they come legally.”

The American Civil Liberties Union, which has sued the Trump administration on multiple fronts—gaining a recent lower court victory halting the administration’s asylum policy—declined to comment for this report. However, the organization is calling for Congress to pull funding from the Department of Homeland Security amid the border crisis:

Flashback: Five Times Critics Mocked Trump over Migrant Caravan

Democrats and other critics mocked President Donald Trump after he activated U.S. troops in late October to help reinforce the southwest border after concerns that thousands of Central American migrants moving in caravans towards the United States would try to illegally rush across.

They accused Trump of hyping the threat as recently as early November, claiming that the migrants were hundreds of miles away and that only a fraction of the caravan would make it to the border. However, only two weeks later, the first of thousands of migrants arrivedat the Mexican border with California.

Mexican officials now say almost 9,000 migrants have arrived. Mexico’s Interior Department said over the weekend about 500 tried to rush the border, with U.S. authorities putting the number at 1,000, according to the Associated Press.

Here’s a look back at some of those critics’ best lines — but worst predictions:

1. Former President Obama: “Refugees 1,000 miles away.”

Former President Barack Obama campaigned in Miami five days before the midterm elections on November 2 where he slammed what he called a “political stunt” after Trump ordered active duty troops to the border.

“They’re telling you the existential threat to America is a bunch of poor refugees 1,000 miles away,” he said. “They’re even taking our brave troops away from their families for a political stunt at the border. And the men and women of our military deserve better than that.”

In fact, the refugees began arriving in Tijuana much earlier than expected after catchingbus rides.

Barack Obama: "They're telling you the existential threat to America is a bunch of poor refugees 1,000 miles away."

"They're even taking our brave troops away from their families for a political stunt at the border. The men and women of our military deserve better than that."

2. Rep. Ted Lieu: Caravans “always get disbanded.”

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) on November 2 on CNN dismissed the idea of the migrant caravan showing up to the U.S. border, also arguing it was about “1,000 miles away” and that if it did show up, it would be a “very small group of people.”

“This caravan is about 1,000 miles away. And there’s been caravans over the years and they always get disbanded. Imagine walking across Mexico. It is incredibly difficult. By the time anyone reaches our borders, if they reach it at all, it is a very small group of people. Most of them are turned away,” he said.

As mentioned above, Mexican officials told the AP there are now almost 9,000 migrants in Baja California, which borders California.

3. Sen. Cory Booker: Trump wants to make the caravan “the issue.”

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) on November 6 on CNN accused Trump of trying to make the caravan “the issue” ahead of the midterm elections and questioned whether Americans really cared about “people in a caravan” who were “700 miles away, 800 miles away”:
The way he’s going about this, Chris, and you know, as if our country isn’t strong enough to deal with a lot of the — 700 miles away, 800 miles away — people in a caravan. If he wants to make that the issue, when people in my state of New Jersey are worried about their health care, people in my state of New Jersey are worried about their retirement security … when I run around this country … as much as the president wants to try to whip up fear and hate, sort of the tired tropes that he’s wielding out there, Americans are concerned about the sort of bread and butter issues.

However, a recent poll out of New Jersey’s Monmouth University showed that the majority of Americans do consider the migrant caravan a threat. The poll, published on November 19, showed that 53 percent of Americans saw the migrant caravan as a threat, compared to 39 percent who did not see the caravan as a threat.

DEEP STATE EXPOSED: Mueller Is Being Criminally Investigated And Jerome Corsi Knew About The Case

Special counsel and former FBI director Robert Mueller is accused of framing a man on gun charges — a case that is officially under investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI).

Writer Jerome Corsi, who rejected Mueller’s plea deal in the Russia collusion case but is still under Mueller’s microscope, actually knew about the case in question years ago, before the criminal investigation opened in Tennessee. Mueller as FBI director was accused of working with a blogger who wears a hammer and sickle Communist hat to build the law enforcement presence that led to the man’s arrest on gun charges.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirms on official letterhead that a criminal complaint regarding Mueller’s conduct as FBI director is stored in an investigative case file at the Bureau. The Department’s policy is not to release this information in the course of an investigation.

Big League Politics has reviewed police audio of a conversation between Walter Fitzpatrick, witness in the case against Mueller, and TBI special agents Jerry Spoon and Mark Irwin, plus another TBI officer.



Fitzpatrick describes his claim that Darren Huff was fraudulently prosecuted by Mueller’s FBI for the crime of “carrying a firearm in interstate commerce with the intent to use it in a civil disorder” in a supposed right-wing plot in 2010 to take over a courthouse in Monroe County. Huff served time in solitary confinement, and did not wish to be quoted in this report.

Fitzpatrick and others have presented evidence that Darren Huff never possessed a firearm at the location or in the matter alleged by authorities, and that there was no plot to take over a courthouse.

Huff’s lack of firearm, if confirmed by investigators, shapes the case against Mueller for willful misconduct by law enforcement.


Now here is proof that Corsi knew about the case, because he received an email in 2011 when he wrote a World Net Daily article (READ IT HERE) exposing Bill Bryan aka “PJ Foggy” of the Fogbow blog, a man who has been photographed wearing a hammer and sickle hat who writes a blog that was involved in the case that led to...

Report: Trump Considering Michigan Senate Candidate John James To Replace Nikki Haley As UN Ambassador

This is random to the point of weirdness, but still somewhat less weird than Trump’s out-of-left-field decision to appoint Haley to the position two years ago. She’d been a Trump critic through the primaries and even swiped at him in her State of the Union rebuttal. And she had no diplomatic experience. He drafted a hostile Republican governor known for domestic policy and made her a key player on foreign policy in his administration.

But that decision had some strategy behind it. This one might too.

President Donald Trump is considering John James, a Michigan businessman who lost election to the U.S. Senate this year, to replace UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, according to two people familiar with the matter.

James tried to unseat Senator Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat, in a state that helped Trump win the presidency in 2016. He lost to the incumbent senator 46 to 52 percent. He’s now among the people Trump is considering to replace Haley, the former South Carolina governor who said in October she would resign by the end of the year, the people said…

James was at the White House last week talking about an administration post with Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Vice President Mike Pence, two people said.

The strategy behind Haley’s appointment was shrewd and Machiavellian. Trump and/or his advisors, especially nationalist ideologues like Steve Bannon, probably recognized that Haley would be a thorn in their side outside the administration. She’s a conservative, not a nationalist, and as a governor she would have been freer to criticize Trump than any of his conservative opponents in the Senate. (She was term-limited too, giving her even less reason to hold back.) She could have ended up rallying opposition to his policies among the conservative wing of the party, or what’s left of it. By bringing her into the administration, Trump avoided all that. With Haley on the team, the most prominent Republican in the country who’s hostile to him is probably, ahem, John Kasich, who isn’t rallying anyone on the right.

James’s appointment would be strategic in a different way. Like Haley, he has no diplomatic experience (although he did serve in Iraq). He’s never even held office, but performed impressively well in Michigan a few weeks ago against Debbie Stabenow. So why choose him? For two reasons, I think. One: James would owe Trump more than Haley would, since she had her own fan base within the party, so he’d be a more faithful messenger for the White House at the UN. Lots of stories have been written over the past two years about Haley articulating a traditional neoconservative anti-Russian foreign policy at the United Nations that often barely resembles her boss’s views. With James, Trump would worry less about his ambassador going...

Watch: Secret Service Scolds Tom Arnold Like a Schoolboy After Trump Death Threats

One of the unfortunate byproducts of our nation’s current political divide is that extremists on both sides sometimes take the adversarial nature of the divide too seriously — particularly with regard to the opposition against President Donald Trump — and feel compelled to lash out against Trump, his family, his associates and his supporters with threats of death and violence.

Even more unfortunate is the fact that such threats of death and violence against the president — even when made in jest — must be checked out by the U.S. Secret Service to determine if the threats are serious or not, a rather tedious and time-consuming process that nevertheless must take place.

Comedic actor Tom Arnold recently received just such a visit from a pair of Secret Service agents after he had posted a couple of tweets on Oct. 19 that challenged Trump to a physical fight — one that would have a rather bloody conclusion — that some people perceived as a direct threat of violence against the president.

Following a rally in Montana during which Trump had jokingly referenced a 2017 incident in which Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte body-slammed a mouthy liberal reporter, Arnold angrily tweeted, “I say put up or shut up @realDonaldTrump Me vs You. For America. First body slam wins. Any Rally. Any Time. Between now and the midterms.”


That tweet was soon followed by another, since-deleted tweet which referenced leftist comedian Kathy Griffin’s Trump beheading photo-shoot and said, “Next time Kathy won’t be holding his fake head!” As it turned out, those tweets earned a visit from a pair of Secret Service agents to Arnold’s home on Oct. 25 for a meeting that was recorded on Arnold’s home security cameras. Leftist media outlet Mother Jones obtained that nearly hour-long video and have since posted small portions of it online.

It is worth noting that despite all of Arnold’s bravado and tough-guy persona — at least with regard to Trump — the actor was exceptionally courteous and respectful to...
