This is the same outfit that banned Rush Limbaugh from becoming part owner of the St. Louis Rams, and said Tim Tebow kneeling for prayer was "controversial"!! So it's OK to do all of the above as long as you're not a conservative! So done with the NFL!!!!

Why come to America if they don't want to be Americans?
If you are a real, legal immigrant, and not an invader you came here for truth, justice, and the American way.

JW uncovered bombshell info showing that the Obama Administration sent U.S. taxpayer funds overseas to an org supported by billionaire George Soros which used the money to fund leftwing political activities benefiting the socialist government of Albania.

12 minutes aJW uncovered bombshell info showing that the Obama Administration sent U.S. taxpayer funds overseas to an org supported by billionaire George Soros which used the money to fund leftwing political activities benefiting the socialist government of Albania.Obama USAID Used U.S. Taxpayers Funds to Back Soros Groups Effort to Give Albanias Socialist Government Full Control Over Judiciary

 

(Washington, DC)  Judicial Watch obtained 32 pages of records showing the Obama administration sent U.S. taxpayers funds to a group backed by billionaire George Soros, which used the money to fund left-wing political activities in Albania, including working with the countrys socialist government to push for highly controversial judicial reform. The records also detail how the Soros operation helped the State Department review grant applications from other groups for taxpayer funding.

The records were obtained in a May 26, 2017, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) after both the State Department and USAID failed to respond to March 31, 2017, FOIA requests (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (No. 1:17-cv-01012)). Judicial Watch agreed to dismiss the lawsuit after it received the documents and payment of attorneys fees.

The new documents show USAID funds were funneled through that agencys Civil Society Project to back Soross left-wing Open Society Foundations in Albania, particularly the Soros operation efforts to give the socialist government greater control of the judiciary. USAID reportedly gave $9 million in 2016 to the Justice for All campaign, which is overseen by Soross East West Management Institute.

In March 2017, a group of six U.S. Senators led by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) sent a letter to then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson asking that he investigate charges that the U.S. government was using taxpayer funds to assist Soros in Albania. The letter said, Foundation Open society-Albania and its experts, with funding from USAID, have created the controversial Strategy Document for Albanian Judicial Reform. Some leaders believe that these reforms are ultimately aimed to give the Prime Minister and left-of-center government full control over the judiciary. In the Albanian parliament, opposition leaders have labeled the Strategy a Soros-sponsored reform.

The new records released by Judicial Watch include an April 2016 memo from the U.S. Embassy in Tirana that reveals that the embassy sponsored a survey along with Soross Open Society Foundation to measure Albanian citizens knowledge, support, and expectations on justice reform. The Soros group survey reported that 91% of respondents either fully support or somewhat support the need for judicial reform. The poll did not specify the type of reform the Soros group was seeking.

Also, records dated February 2017 show that the State Department used taxpayer funds to co-sponsor a second poll with the Open Society Foundation on judicial reforms that would essentially solidify the lefts control of the Albanian government. The report notes that the U.S. Embassys Public Affairs Section and the Open Society Foundation each provided funding to a local organization to conduct a public opinion poll on attitudes towards the Judicial Reform effort.

The records also reveal that the State Department gave the Soros organization direct input for its own program funding reviews in Albania. The February 10, 2017, report on Engagement with the Open Society Foundation for Albania notes that As one of the major assistance providers in Albania, representatives from the Open Society Foundation are frequently asked to participate in technical reviews of application [sic] that we receive for funding.

The U.S. Ambassador to Albania Donald Lu, a holdover from the Obama administration, has been closely linked to Soros and the socialist government in Albania. In May 2017, Lu helped undermine Albanian opposition party plans to protest the upcoming parliamentary election by declaring that the U.S. would recognize the election results even if opposition parties refused to participate. Lu has been described in the U.S. press as a driving force behind Albanias judicial reforms.

The Obama administration quietly spent at least $9 million in U.S. taxpayers dollars in direct collusion with left-wing billionaire George Soros backing of a socialist government in Albania. It is particularly outrageous that the State Department allowed the Soros operation to help direct taxpayer funds to other groups, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. George Soros is a billionaire and he shouldnt be receiving taxpayer support to advance his radical left agenda to undermine freedom here at home and abroad.

In related cases, Judicial Watch is seeking information regarding Soros activities in Macedonia, Romania and Colombia.

Antifa site distributes posters comparing Trump supporters to Nazis

In the last few weeks, big tech companies have systematically targeted and silenced right-of-center influencers like Alex Jones for violating their Terms of Service. Meanwhile, far-left groups that actively violate those same Terms of Service appear to be getting a pass.

For those who wake up every day believing that Trump is destroying their America, I can tell you I know just how you feel because I experienced the exact same heartbreak every day of the eight years of Obama. But I had to do what my bumper sticker is admonishing. Try it snowflakes Thank God for Donald Trump.

 Reports Include 1,000 Significant Incident Reports, Revealing UAC Refugees Admitting to Murder for Drug Cartels, Prostitution, and Sexual Predation

Reports Also Cite Incidents of U.S. Government Contractors/Employees Allegedly Assaulting Unaccompanied Alien Children

(Washington, DC)  Judicial Watch today released 224 pages of documents containing nearly 1,000 summaries of Significant Incident Reports (SIRs) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)  revealing that Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) processed during the Obama administration included admitted murderers, rapists, drug smugglers, prostitutes, and human traffickers.

The documents, from the HHS Administration for Children and Families reported to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), are for the approximate six-month period May to November 2014. They were produced to Judicial Watch after a three-year delay in response to a November 12, 2014, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking:

  1. Any and all Significant Incident Reports (SIRs) and SIR Addenda, including but not limited to, Medical SIRs (both Emergency and Non-Emergency) and Medical SIR Addenda, submitted to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) for Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) from May 1, 2014 to the present.

To the extent any information may be contained in the SIRs or SIR Addenda that is considered exempt from disclosure under 5 (U.S.C. § 552(b)(6), all non-exempt, segregable portions of the reports should be provided.

2. Any and all summary reports, which are derived from or based upon data contained in the SIRs, including daily, weekly, monthly or year-to-date reports, that were prepared by, provided to or are in the possession of the ORR.

The resulting documents show that, in fiscal year 2014, there were 24,680 Significant Incident Reports filed with Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Examples of incident reports below are organized into four general categories:

  1. UACs admitting to murder, belonging to MS-13, threatening others with rape, admitting to drug smuggling, molesting other UACs and seriously assaulting other UACs or staff;
  2. UACs who were raped and/or molested en route to the United States or in the United States;
  3. U.S. Government contractors and employees allegedly assaulting or having sexual relationships with UACs; and
  4. Other incidents, crimes, abuse and self-harm.

Examples of UACs admitting to murder, belonging to MS-13, threatening others with rape, admitting to drug smuggling, molesting other UACs and seriously assaulting other UACs or staff include:

  • A male UAC at a BCFS shelter in Fairfield, CA admitted that he was forced to kill while working for the Gulf Cartel in Mexico
  • A male UAC being cared for at the Heartland International RC Facility reported that he had been an MS-13 gang member for a year before coming to the U.S.
  • A male UAC cared for at the Heartland ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) facility reported to staff that he had been made to kill three people by a drug cartel.
  • A male UAC housed at the KidsPeace shelter (apparently a reference to the KidsPeace facility in Bethlehem, PA) reportedly told another male UAC there: I am a rapist. I am going to rape you.
  • A UAC at Morrison Paso (Morrison Child and Family Services Center Paso Secure in Portland, OR) informed a Youth Care Worker (YCW) there that all of the kids here at Paso are snorting white pills and that some residents had brought [the pills] into the facility and all the residents are snorting the white pills and at all the times of the day
  • A male UAC in the care of Heartland ICRC reported that he was an MS-13 gang member who had been selling drugs. He told social workers that the reason the gang members made the kids use drugs was to get them addicted.
  • A female UAC at the Sandy Pines (Jupiter, FL) facility attacked a staff member with a chair after being told to stop inappropriate sexual behavior toward another female UAC. After being restrained, she threatened to stab an unidentified person with a knife she kept in her room. The report concludes by saying, UAC will continue to work on identifying and implementing coping skills to manage her mood.
  • A male UAC at a Baptist Child and Family Services (BCFS) shelter in Baytown, TX said hed worked as a human smuggler, charging $6,000-$8,000 per person he crossed into the United States
  • A female UAC at the BCFS shelter in Lackland AFB was alleged by other UACs to be the daughter of a coyote (human smuggler) and reportedly was passing information to her father via telephone from the shelter

Examples of UACs who were raped and/or molested en route to the United States or in the United States include:

  • A female UAC at St. PJs shelter in San Antonio reported that another female UAC attempted to molest her and four other female UACs, including trying to put her hand between her legs.  The perpetrator was redirected by staff
  • A female UAC at Southwest Key in Conroe, TX, reported she was repeatedly raped on her journey to the US resulting in her pregnancy and when picked up by U.S. Immigration, the guide claimed the UAC was his wife
  • A male UAC being cared for at the Southwest Key Program Antigua facility admitted that he had been a human smuggler himself for the past two years, since the age of 13/14, and was paid $100-$200 per person that he crossed over into the U.S.
  • A female UAC at Southwest Key El Presidente reported she was sexually molested by her guide throughout her journey to the U.S.
  • A male AUC at the Morrison shelter in Portland admitted to being a drug smuggler and line guard for a drug cartel
  • A male UAC at the Bethany Christian Service Shelter reported having been a drug smuggler for a Mexican cartel and making 18 or 19 trips since he started. He also said that both his parents and his maternal uncle worked in drug smuggling as well, by welding secret drug storage compartments into vehicles and by transporting drug money
  • A female UAC from the Shiloh RTC reported that the person who claimed to US authorities to be her grandmother in order to get the UAC into the US was not, in fact, her grandmother but had brought her into the U.S. from Honduras to make her work as a prostitute
  • A male UAC at IES Driscoll claimed he was raped by another male UAC while in the custody of U.S. Border Patrol but claimed he didnt report it because he was told by border patrol not to ask so many questions or talk

Examples of U.S. Government contractors and employees allegedly abusing, assaulting or having sexual relationships with Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) include the following:

  • A male UAC claimed a female teacher at Southwest Key shelter in Phoenix seductively massaged his leg, lay in his bed with him and exposed her genital area to him
  • A female UAC at a Boystown shelter claimed she had been raped by English-speaking men after being taken into custody by U.S. immigration officials and being transported to a shelter
  • A female UAC claimed that while at a Southwest Key shelter in Ventura County, CA, she and a group of other female UACs had been awakened early by staff members, taken outside and wetted [a slang term referring to vaginal touching] by staffers who told her it was a normal activity
  • A female UAC reported an allegation of abuse by program staff at Sandy Pines [Residential Treatment Center, Jupiter, FL], claiming she had been in a girlfriend relationship with a female staff member
  • A female UAC in the Bokenkamp facility reported that an immigration officer put his hand in between the pants and stomach of another female minor. She also claimed a few days later that the officer touched her thigh in an inappropriate manner.
  • A 17-year-old male UAC in the Baptist Family and Children Services, San Antonio, TX, reported he was in a relationship, begun while he was a minor, with a 24-year-old staff member at IES Driscoll.
  • A male UAC at IES Driscoll reported a childcare worker who had been passing letters to him as well as having conversations which made him believe the childcare worker wanted to have sex with him. The childcare worker reportedly made statements like Lets go to the bathroom; Lets go to the house alone; He wants to suck it; I love you very much. Really I do. He also reported he was promised a $200 bracelet.
  • A male UAC at the Baptist Family and Children Services Shelter in Fairfield, TX, told a staff member that when he was residing at the Union County facility (likely in New Jersey), officers verbally abused the minors and encouraged them to fight whenever there were disagreements. When a fight would break out, staff would make bets and provide the winner with outside food.
  • A male UAC at St. PJs Surge (apparently St. PJs Childrens Home in San Antonio) reported that he had a relationship outside of boundaries with a program staff member at the facility where he was previously, Lackland AFB.
  • A male UAC at the Southwest Key Program Combes facility in Harlingen, TX, reported an allegation that a Youth Care Worker (YCW) there and a UAC were involved in an inappropriate relationship. He said that he saw [redacted] crying and staff [redacted] hugging him and overheard a conversation between the unidentified staff worker and the UAC, in which one of them said this is not right between us. The reporting UAC advised that other UACs were also aware of the relationship.
  • A male UAC at the Southwest Key- Nueva Esperanza facility said that hed had an inappropriate relationship with a female Youth Care Worker (YCW) at the Southwest Key-Casa Blanca shelter in San Antonio, including physical contact at shelter. The shelter staff member continued to maintain contact with the UAC after he left the shelter and had been to the UACs brothers home in San Antonio.
  • A male UAC at Catholic Charities in Houston claimed that his sponsor tried to force him to smoke pot, drink alcohol and snort cocaine

Other incidents include:

  • A male UAC at a Friends of Youth facility asked a staffer that he be put on soap restriction because he has snorted soap on 4 occasions
  • Social workers reported that a sponsor of two UACs might have provided false information to the IRS for unknown reasons, and specifically, included two Social Security numbers on her tax return
  • A female UAC was given an abortion on October 14, 2014. The pregnancy reportedly was a result of rape during her journey, which was previously reported in August. (The federal governments facilitating an abortion might have violated federal law.)

The Obama administration presided over a humanitarian and public safety nightmare in its handling of unaccompanied alien children, said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. The incident reports also support the Trump administrations contention that the UAC crisis, which continues, includes murderers, rapists, drug smugglers and human traffickers being routinely allowed into the United States.

Judicial Watch began investigating this matter in 2014 when a wave of Unaccompanied Alien Children swamped the southwest border. At that time, the controversial HHS contract with Baptist Children and Family Services to provide shelter to children at two military facilities came to light. Through that investigation, Judicial Watch learned that BCFS was providing consumer electronics as essential items to the children. Since that time, Judicial Watch has been investigating incidents of violence, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and other criminal activities, as well as whether innocent children were being abused while in U.S. shelters.

Sixty nine major earthquakes hit the Pacific's Ring of Fire in just 48 hours driving fears that the 'Big One' is about to hit California

  • Sixteen tremors above magnitude 4.5 shook the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' on Monday
  • This followed a cluster of 53 quakes that hit the geological zone on Sunday 
  • The quakes rattled Indonesia, Bolivia, Japan and Fiji, but failed to reach the US
  • Scientists have previously warned California is long overdue a major quake 

Sixty nine major earthquakes have hit Earth's most active geological disaster zone in the space of just 48 hours.

Sixteen 'significant' tremors - those at magnitude 4.5 or above - shook the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' on Monday, following a spate of 53 that hit the region Sunday.

The quakes rattled Indonesia, Bolivia, Japan and Fiji, but failed to reach the western coast of the United States, which also falls along the infamous geological ring.

The tremors have raised concerns that California's 'Big One' - a destructive earthquake of magnitude 8 or greater - may be looming.

Scientists have previously warned that Ring of Fire activity may trigger a domino effect that sets off earthquakes and volcanic eruptions elsewhere in the region.

California, which straddles the huge San Andreas Fault Line and sits on the eastern edge of the ring, is long overdue a deadly earthquake, researchers claim. 

Fears that a deadly earthquake may soon hit California have emerged after a swarm of quakes rocked one of Earth's major geological disaster zones. Pictured are the locations of 53 earthquakes above magnitude 4.5 that hit the Pacific Ring of Fire in just 24 hours on Sunday

Fears that a deadly earthquake may soon hit California have emerged after a swarm of quakes rocked one of Earth's major geological disaster zones. Pictured are the locations of 53 earthquakes above magnitude 4.5 that hit the Pacific Ring of Fire in just 24 hours on Sunday

The recent spate of Ring of Fire activity was recorded by experts at the United States Geological Survey, which is headquartered in Reston, Virginia.

Maps generated by the agency's vast array of seismometers shows Fiji was the worst hit, with five earthquakes above magnitude 4.5 - classed as 'significant' by the USGS - rumbling the country since Monday morning.

The largest of these was a 5.0 tremor that struck the region at 6:30am BST (1:30am ET) on Tuesday morning.

An enormous 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck in the Pacific Ocean close to Fiji and Tonga on Sunday, but was too deep to cause any significant damage. 

The quake's depth at 347.7 miles (560 km) would have dampened the shaking at the surface. 

'We are monitoring the situation and some places felt it, but it was a very deep earthquake,' Director Apete Soro told Reuters. 

WHAT IS EARTH'S 'RING OF FIRE'?

Earth's so-called 'Ring of Fire' is a horseshoe-shaped geological disaster zone that is a hot bed for tectonic and volcanic activity.

Roughly 90 per cent of the world's earthquakes occur in the belt, which is also home to more than 450 volcanoes. 

The seismic region stretches along the Pacific Ocean coastlines, where the Pacific Plate grinds against other plates that form the Earth's crust.

It loops from New Zealand to Chile, passing through the coasts of Asia and the Americas on the way.
