SAVAGES: Democrats Block A Vote To Support Iran Protesters Dying For Freedom

Naked proof that the Democrats are the party of terror and jihad.

Democrats in the House of Representatives blocked a vote Tuesday to support the protesters in Iran who are demonstrating against the regime.

Consideration and a vote on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s resolution was blocked because Democrats advanced the previous question, by a vote of 226-191. The resolution would have condemned the Government of Iran for killing 1,500 Iranian citizens who were protesting their government, as well as condemned the Government of Iran for shooting down Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, killing 176 people.

In addition, the resolution; “(3) condemns the Government of Iran for repeatedly lying to its people and to the world about its responsibility for the downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752; (4) calls on the Government of Iran to— (A) refrain from the use of violence; and (B) protect the rights of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly; and (5) supports the protestors in Iran, their demands for accountability, and their desire for the Government of Iran to respect freedom and human rights.”

“What a disappointment —Democrats just blocked a vote on a resolution supporting the Iranian protestors. This is not the time for partisan politics. This should be a time for the US Congress to speak with one voice to condemn an Iranian regime that kills its...

Big 3 Networks Completely Ignore Covington Student’s CNN Lawsuit Settlement

While they were once obsessed with smearing the names of Covington Catholic High School kids, the mainstream media is now virtually silent on the news that student Nick Sandmann settled his defamation lawsuit with CNN.

It was announced last week that Sandmann settled his lawsuit with the news network for an undisclosed amount and since then, ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC have completely ignored the story, according to Newsbusters.

CNN granted the news a measly 29 seconds of air time and Fox News was the only outlet to significantly report on the matter, spending 13 minutes and 29 seconds on the settlement.

The mainstream media’s original narrative was that the students–who were in Washington D.C. last January for the March for Life–were disrespectful to Native American protester, Nathan Phillips. However, it turns out that a longer version of the video proves that the students were taunted by protesters–most likely–for wearing pro-Trump MAGA hats. The extended version of the video also shows Phillips approaching the students.

Video also shows the students were harassed by a group of “Black Hebrew Israelites” who called the children products of incest, “peckerwoods” and “dusty ass crackers,” among other names.

On March 12, 2019 Sandmann filed the lawsuit against CNN alleging the network “elevated false, heinous accusations of racist conduct” against Sandmann, failing to adhere to “well-established journalistic standards and ethics.”

At the time of the lawsuit, Sandmann’s attorney L Lin Wood tweeted a damning video about the media’s shameful treatment of his client.

The video asks “How long will we allow these media giants to tear at the fabric of our lives to further their own agendas? Will they ever be held...

Stephen King Savaged by ‘Woke’ Mob For Saying Art Should be Judged on Quality, Not “Diversity”

How dare he?

Author Stephen King is facing potential cancellation from the ‘woke’ mob after he responded to the Oscar nominations by saying art should be judged on quality, not the “diversity” of its creators.

King was responding to controversy surrounding the Oscar nominations being too “white” and too “male”.

Vogue reported that the choices were “a pretty poor showing for…well, anyone other than straight white men,” complaining that no females were nominated for best director and “zero performers of color were nominated in the best supporting actor and best supporting actress categories.”

King responded on Twitter by daring to suggest that potential winners should be judged on their merits and not their genitalia or skin color.

“As a writer, I am allowed to nominate in just 3 categories: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Screenplay,” tweeted King.

“For me, the diversity issue–as it applies to individual actors and directors, anyway–did not come up. That said…I would never consider diversity in matters of art. Only quality. It seems to me that to do otherwise would be wrong,” he added:

Persecution 'SOS': 13 More Christians Murdered by Muslims in Nigeria as Fears Grow of Rwandan-Type Genocide

A gang of 20 armed Fulani Muslim herdsmen attacked the predominantly Christian village of Kulben in Central Nigeria on January 8th, killing 13 and wounding three, according to Morning Star News. All of the victims were members of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN).

"They were shooting with guns in all directions, forcing the villagers to scamper into surrounding bushes," area resident Michael Mutding, 40, told Morning Star News in a text message. "Corpses of those killed have been evacuated by soldiers and police to the mortuary of Mangu Cottage Hospital, and all the victims are members of COCIN."

Audu Tetmut, a 60-year-old area leader of the Christian community, said there had never been any problem between his people and herdsmen living in the area.

"Our community had lived peacefully with the herdsmen without any issues of dispute with them," Tetmut told Morning Star News. "So we are surprised that they attacked us."

The attack came despite efforts by security services to prevent it and others like it from happening.

"This attack on my people by these herdsmen comes as a rude shock to us, as efforts have been made by security agencies to curtail such incessant attacks on our people," Assembly legislator Bala Fwengje said in a statement. "It is a sad thing that these attacks are still being carried out by the herdsmen on our people without provocation."

This attack on Nigerian Christians is just one in a long line of murders of Christian believers there. Last year (2019) some 1,000 Nigerian Christians were murdered for their faith. The Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust (HART), headed up by a member of...
