AOC Isn’t Going To Like What Amazon HQ2 Is Doing for New Location’s Economy

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez steered Amazon away from New York, but the company’s new location in Virginia has created a housing boom.

Buyers and sellers in the Arlington housing market have been scrambling to lock up properties in anticipation of Amazon’s new headquarters, which will welcome its newest workers in June, Axios reported.

David Howell, executive vice president at McEnearney Associates, described the phenomenon as a “boomlet” since Amazon announced its new location.

“I’ve been studying this market for 35 years, and I’ve never seen a circumstance like this one,” Howell said.

Buyers have been so eager to purchase homes around Amazon’s new location that homeowners are putting up “no-solicitation” signs. A similar boom could have occurred in New York City, but Ocasio-Cortez and other lawmakers spoiled the company’s plans to build there.

In February, Amazon spokeswoman Jodi Seth explained that Amazon canceled plans in New York City because its politicians created a hostile environment. “It was that the environment over the course of the past three months had not got any better. There were some local and state elected officials who refused to meet with Amazon and criticized us day in and day out about the plan,” Seth said.

Ocasio-Cortez had celebrated the cancellation and slammed Amazon with left-wing buzzwords such as “corporate greed” and “worker exploitation.”

Ocasio-Cortez defended her stance during an April town hall by questioning Amazon’s jobs, according to QNS.

“We can create those jobs without marginalizing people,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Are those the jobs that they’re giving the folks in NYCHA, are those jobs going to our community? Or are we just importing already wealthy people to displace...

The table has turned on the ‘Trump-Russia’ hoax and now the conspirators are running for the hills

Now that the Russia collusion allegations have evaporated, the long knives are out and President Trump’s antagonists are watching their backs. They have moved from accusing him of treason to pushing revisionist narratives that try to shift the blame for the debunked probe onto others.

This effort is expected to accelerate following Trump’s decision Thursday to empower Attorney General William Barr to declassify CIA, Pentagon, and Director of National Intelligence documents as necessary to access “information or intelligence that relates to the attorney general’s review” of the Russia probe.

In other words, he’s gaining the authority needed to investigate the investigators.

CIA sources immediately objected in the New York Times that assets’ lives would be at risk, stunting Langley’s ability to recruit. Perhaps. But the argument is a bit shopworn, raising the question whether intelligence managers are looking to protect their agents and sources, or aiming to protect themselves.

There are a growing number of indicators that the leading players in the 2016 election drama are turning on one another, making a mad dash for the lifeboats to escape being dragged under with the political Titanic that is Christopher Steele and his dossier. These are many of the same people who had been eager to exploit the dossier, that collection of memos paid for by the Clinton campaign and supposedly sourced from Russia. Once treated like the Rosetta stone of collusion, the Steele documents now seem even to Trump antagonists more like the Howard Hughes diaries.

A “former CIA official” has told Fox News that two of Trump’s most high profile accusers – former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former Director of the CIA John Brennan – didn’t want anything to do with Steele’s opus. It was former FBI Director James Comey, the source said, who was pushing to use the dossier in the official Intelligence Community Assessment, issued in the final days of the Obama administration. Having failed at that, thanks to Clapper and Brennan’s diligence (or so the story goes), Comey went rogue and confronted...

Illegal Alien pleads guilty to RAPING A THREE YEAR OLD BABY.

SAN DIEGO — A registered sex offender and illegal alien who broke into his next-door neighbor’s home, where he raped and sodomized a 3-year-old girl, pleaded guilty Friday to four felony charges and is facing an 85-year prison term.

Francisco Diaz, 47, entered his plea to four counts of forcible lewd acts on a child, and admitted serious prior felony convictions, according to Deputy District Attorney Claudia Grasso.

Sentencing is scheduled for June 17.

Last summer’s attack occurred the morning of Aug. 11 in the 5200 block of Maple Street in Oak Park.

Diaz broke a screen and curtain rod and climbed through a window of the sleeping child’s bedroom. When the toddler woke up and cried while being sexually assaulted, Diaz carried her out through the window and was walking her toward his home when the defendant’s mother saw them and wrapped the child — who was naked from the waist down — in a blanket.

Police were called around 9:45 a.m. and Diaz was arrested.

“It’s a parent’s worst nightmare,” Grasso said following Diaz’s arraignment last year. “The violation, the betrayal, (it’s just) horrific. I think that not only does it impact the victim but it impacts the entire family, who now have to look over their shoulder, who now cannot feel safe in...

Jon Voight creates powerful video, makes the case that Trump ‘the greatest president’ since Lincoln

In a powerful video statement shared to Twitter on Friday, outspoken conservative Hollywood actor Jon Voight praised President Donald Trump as one of the greatest presidents in American history.

Watch The Video At The Read More Link Below.

“People of the Republican party, I know you will agree with me when I say our president has our utmost respect and our love,” began the statement, which was delivered on Twitter via two separate tweets. “This job is not easy, for he’s battling the left and their absurd words of destruction.”

“I’ve said this once and I’ll say this again: that our nation has been built on the solid ground from our forefathers, and there is a moral code of duty that has been passed on from President Lincoln.”

A moral code of duty based on the Judeo-Christian values of America’s Founding Fathers.

“I’m here today to acknowledge the truth, and I’m here today to tell you, my fellow Americans, our country is stronger, safer and with more jobs because our president has made his every move correct,” he continued in direct contradiction to the narrative touted by the left.

According to congressional Democrats, America is at an all-time low right now because of allegedly rampant income inequality (wrong), racial animosity (wrong) and gun violence (wrong).

“Don’t be fooled by the political left, because we are the people of this nation that is witnessing triumph,” Voight continued. “So let us stand with our president, let us stand up for this truth: President Trump is the greatest president since...

Radical Islamist Compounds in New Mexico, Alabama Were Training Children to Carry Out Terrorist Attacks

No one’s paying much attention. Not enough attention, that is, for places in this country dedicated to training people to attack Americans. Radical Islamic training camps are popping up around the country.

Earlier this month, the FBI discovered a jihadist compound in Macon County, Alabama. It was led by Siraj Wahhaj, who ran a similar camp in Taos County, New Mexico last year. The occupants of both engaged in terrorist training. New Mexico prosecutors allege they planned to carry out “attacks to kill officers and employees of the United States.” “Apocalyptic Muslim beliefs” inspired them.

Authorities discovered the compound in New Mexico when a message reached them, “We’re starving.” Law enforcement found 11 children and five adults living in a trailer in “squalid” conditions. They had guns and ammo. They barricaded themselves behind adobe walls and tires. A 100-foot tunnel contained areas with bedding.

Sadly, authorities found the decomposing body of Abdul Ghani-Wahhaj, 3. His father, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40, had abducted him. The boy suffered from severe medical disabilities. They gave him seizures. Authorities say he died at the compound after he was denied medication, because one of the women there, Jany Leveille, 36, believed it suppressed Muslim beliefs. Leveille and Wahhaj held hours-long prayer rituals over the boy in the days leading to his death. They read the Koran over his body and tried to exorcise demons from him.

Concerned people notified authorities that the boy was missing months earlier. The FBI conducted aerial surveillance but could not identify anyone.
Indictments

The senior Wahhaj was arrested, along with the other adults, and indicted for terrorism, kidnapping and firearm violations. All five pleaded not guilty in March. The judge scheduled the trial for April 2020.

Several members of the compound were indicted for terrorism, kidnapping and firearm violations.

The deceased child’s foster parent told prosecutors that Wahhaj trained another child how to use an assault rifle. It would be used in school shootings. FBI Special Agent Travis Taylor testified that Leveille and her husband “sought to recruit and train persons, including minor children, to be prepared to engage in jihad and train an army of jihad and to die as martyrs.”

Siraj Wahhaj, the father of Wahhaj, is the imam at Masjid at-Taqwa, a mosque in Brooklyn. Several people connected to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center either attended or visited there around the time of the attack. A list of several dozen potential conspirators in the plot included the elder Mr. Wahhaj. He has been called the spiritual adviser of jihad sympathizer Linda Sarsour. The anti-Semitic Sarsour is a member of America’s largest Marxist group, the Democratic Socialists of America.

Lawrence Montoya, 77, a retired New Mexico state police officer who raises horses at a ranch near the compound, told The New York Times, “This is a place where people end up who might not want to be found.”

Alabama Compound

WPMI-TV, an NBC affiliate in Mobile, Alabama, broke the story of a second compound belonging to terrorists led by Wahhaj. Located in Macon County, Alabama, it is described in a FBI search warrant as a “makeshift military-style obstacle course.”

This was clearly radical Islam.

Unfortunately, the compounds have received little mainstream media coverage. The media is so concerned with...
