Sex trafficking is one of the biggest problems in America that nobody seems to want to talk about. Children are forced into a life of degradation, abuse, sexual assault, addiction and more at the hands of people who think it’s perfectly okay to sell their bodies for some quick cash.
Recently, the FBI helped to rescue 84 children from the clutches of these monster is what is being called “Operation Cross Country XI.” Among those rescued were a 3-month-old infant and her 5-year-old sister, who were being sold as sex slaves.

After Weinstein Scandal SHAKES Hollywood, Monica Lewinsky Sends Out Message Clintons Will DREAD!
It took Monica Lewinsky a two-word hashtag to throw leftists into fits.
The #MeToo hashtag allowed women to share their experiences of sexual harassment/assault/rape. It was created/pushed by Democrats who wanted to show people that more women have been affected by this than many people realize. There were sincere messages exchanged of “I believe you,” “you are valid,” and “you are strong for sharing your story.”
This is how supportive we should always be, but Monica Lewinsky didn’t always find that to be the case.
In fact when she came out with her sordid affair with President Bill Clinton, she was attacked by self-appointed head feminist Hillary Clinton. (Who would later post on Twitter that all victims of sexual violence had the right to be heard and believed. Don’t make me gag.)
So naturally, the subject behind one of the biggest sexual scandals in American history partook in the #MeToo trend.

Teacher Is Stalked And Violently Attacked By Parents Of 4th Grader Whose Phone Was Taken In Class
Now I’m no seer or anything, but I’m going to venture an educated guess that this fourth-grader isn’t going to go very far in life. Or perhaps she could grow past her upbringing and become a good, decent human being in spite of her parents.
Because let’s be honest, if you’re willing to stalk and beat up a teacher who took your child’s cell phone, you really shouldn’t be allowed to have children. There is something wrong with your heart, your soul, and your brain if you think that is worth attacking someone.
Pittsburgh Police are saying that 46-year-old Janice Watkins had confiscated the phone of one of her 4th grade students, because the school has a no-cellphone policy.

Jaguars Owner: President Trump Is Trying To ‘Soil’ NFL League Because He’s JEALOUS!
Trump has made his distaste for the kneeling in usual Trump fashion – bombastically, using his twitter account. This had an adverse effect of course, with players from the NFL taking knees in mass, proving it is all about Trump. It might have been about ‘inequality’ at one point, but these players are kneeling for just about anything now, with most of it being about spite now.
Jaguars owner Shad Khan couldn’t help but but heads with the president as he claimed that this whole thing is a “very personal issue with him.”
This is the same Khan that took his crappy NFL team over to Britain for a game, and had them all kneel while our National Anthem was being played. What an embarrassment. This all went down in Britain’s Wembley Stadium, making a mockery of our country and out military service men and women who have served and died for these pieces of trash.
Khan made the assumption that Trump is only pissed at the NFL over his loss on a bid for an NFL team:
“He’s been elected president, where maybe a great goal he had in life to own an NFL team is not very likely. So to make it tougher, or to hurt the league, it’s very calculated.”

Roger Goodell Just Surrendered the NFL to the Anthem Protesters
Writing in this space on Tuesday, I way too graciously headlined a piece by saying: “In Case You Missed It, the NFL Might Have Caved On a Lot More Than Just the Anthem Protests.” I must apologize for using the word “might” in this headline. Because there’s no might about it, the NFL has completely caved on the anthem protests.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the media on Wednesday, and made plain the fact that the NFL will only “encourage” their players to stand. The league will not “force” them to stand for the anthem.
“We believe that our players should stand for the national anthem,” Goodell said. “We want our players to stand, we’re going to continue to encourage them to stand.”
Goodell, proving that he has now made the transition from NFL commissioner to protester PR hack, explained that the players aren’t trying to disrespect the flag. “They are not doing this in any way to be disrespectful to the flag, but they also understand how it’s being interpreted, and that’s why we’re trying to deal with those underlying issues,” Goodell said.

Forecasters Predict Warmer-Than-Average Winter In Majority Of U.S.
They say that the La Niña weather pattern is likely to develop. That means "greater-than-average snowfall around the Great Lakes and in the northern Rockies, with less-than-average snowfall throughout the Mid-Atlantic region," Mike Halpert of the Climate Prediction Center said in a forecast Thursday.
Hawaii, western and northern Alaska and the lower two-thirds of the contiguous U.S. are likely to see warmer-than-average temperatures, Halpert says. A small portion of the Northwest U.S. and parts of Alaska are expected to see cooler-than-usual temperatures.

Virginia Statehouse Race Pits 'Bathroom Bill' Author Against Transgender Woman
State legislative races don't usually draw a lot of national attention – but Virginia's House District 13 race is: it pits a Republican incumbent known for unsuccessfully sponsoring a so-called "bathroom bill" against a transgender woman.
If she succeeds in unseating Delegate Bob Marshall, Democrat Danica Roem would be the country's first openly transgender state lawmaker.
Roem's background may set her apart as a political candidate, but her message to voters in this district, in the outer Washington, D.C. suburbs, is pretty standard for a local politician. She's focusing on bread-and-butter "quality of life" issues, she says, like roads funding, schools, and water infrastructure.
Roem argues she's uniquely informed about local issues and prepared to problem-solve because of her years working as a newspaper reporter in the region.
"I've dedicated my professional career to vetting information...and then reporting the truth as it is, not what other people hope it should be," she said. "...And when I'm in office I can do the same thing."

BREAKING NEWS: Subject Shot In Snow Hill Area
Louis Theroux documentary explores gun crime in Milwaukee
A gun war is raging in an American city that locals describe as a 'Mecca for violence' due to its daily homicides.
Louis Theroux meets the residents of north Milwaukee, Wisconsin in his new film to shine some light on why it has one of the highest violent crime rates in the US.
Murder in Milwaukee sees the BBC filmmaker meets a murderess turned community activist who sleeps and even bathes with a shotgun.
Shootings take place in the street just metres away from where the crew is filming, including that of a young man called Antonio, who lay dying in the street while his family sobbed, vowing to leave town.
The area has high unemployment, poor schools and a high incarceration rate compared to the rest of the country.

Democrat facing felony charge quits House race
A Democratic candidate facing a felony charge of grand larceny has bowed out of the race to challenge Rep. John Faso, R-N.Y.
Steven Brisee, 27, was arrested on Sept. 11 and accused of shoplifting almost $1,500 in merchandise from a Kohl's department store in Newburgh. He was arraigned and remanded to custody in lieu of $500 bail.
According to the Times Herald-Record newspaper, Brisee also spent eight days in the Ulster County Jail last month after being charged with a misdemeanor count of trespassing. State troopers told the paper that a homeowner in the town of Kerhonksen called police Sept. 9 after finding a stranger's clothes and a wallet containing some of Brisee's campaign cards. The candidate was eventually bailed out of jail.
Brisee claimed to live in the 19th District of New York, which he sought to represent. But the Times Herald-Record reported that the address he declared to be his "doesn't appear to exist."

Bill Clinton sought State’s permission to meet with Russian nuclear official during Obama uranium decision
As he prepared to collect a $500,000 payday in Moscow in 2010, Bill Clinton sought clearance from the State Department to meet with a key board director of the Russian nuclear energy firm Rosatom — which at the time needed the Obama administration’s approval for a controversial uranium deal, government records show.
Arkady Dvorkovich, a top aide to then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and one of the highest-ranking government officials to serve on Rosatom’s board of supervisors, was listed on a May 14, 2010, email as one of 15 Russians the former president wanted to meet during a late June 2010 trip, the documents show.
“In the context of a possible trip to Russia at the end of June, WJC is being asked to see the business/government folks below. Would State have concerns about WJC seeing any of these folks,” Clinton Foundation foreign policy adviser Amitabh Desai wrote the State Department on May 14, 2010, using the former president’s initials and forwarding the list of names to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s team.

Pure Hate
The owners of the Cup It Up restaurant in Tucson, Ariz., say they’re hoping to open “sometime soon” after closing their doors this month following "nasty" backlash over a pro-POTUS Facebook post.
Shortly after Chris Smith and Jay Warren shared their pro-Trump opinions, Cup It Up’s owners claim they received so much backlash that employees chose to quit, leading Smith and Warren to “close [Cup It Up’s] doors indefinitely” on Oct. 9.
“We expected some shares, some discussion, but as it kept coming in, after about three hours of the pure nastiness, we decided to pull it,” co-owner Chris Smith said Thursday on “Fox & Friends.”
This was the viral FB post that Cup It Up American Grill posted & deleted after backlash. Restaurant is closed indefinitely. (prior tweet) pic.twitter.com/o4847nNNjF
— Jennifer Martinez (@Jennymartineztv) October 10, 2017
Now, however, Smith and Warren confirmed that they plan to reopen Cup It Up in the near future, and they’re clearing up why they chose to post their Facebook message in the first place.
“The National Anthem [issue] really struck home with me, as a Navy veteran,” explained Smith. “My take on the national anthem is a patriotic one. I served in the Persian Gulf,” said Smith, who explained that the anthem “took on a whole new meaning” after hearing it sung during a Super Bowl while he was stationed overseas.

Mueller's staffing choices show he may not be very interested in justice
Much has been written about the prosecutorial prowess of Robert Mueller’s team assembled to investigate allegations of Russia’s involvement in the Trump campaign. Little has been said of the danger of prosecutorial overreach and the true history of Mueller’s lead prosecutor.
What was supposed to have been a search for Russia’s cyberspace intrusions into our electoral politics has morphed into a malevolent mission targeting friends, family and colleagues of the president. The Mueller investigation has become an all-out assault to find crimes to pin on them — and it won’t matter if there are no crimes to be found. This team can make some.
Many Americans despise President Trump and anyone associated with him. Yet turning our system of justice into a political weapon is a danger we must guard against.

Teacher Violently Assaulted Over Cellphone, Hit With Brick
A Pittsburgh Public School teacher was seriously injured after officials say she was followed in her car and assaulted after school, allegedly in a dispute over a child’s cellphone.
Hours after the incident, late on Wednesday night, Pittsburgh Police confirmed to KDKA that they are working on an arrest warrant or warrants for a suspect or suspects in the case, who remain unidentified.
The incident reportedly started at Pittsburgh King PreK-8 School on the North Side earlier on Wednesday. Sources described to KDKA’s Marty Griffin a “rather shocking and violent incident.”
The district has a “no cell phone” policy. The teacher, identified as 46-year-old Janice Watkins, confiscated a phone from a fourth grade girl, who then allegedly bit her. Sources say the student’s parents came to school, with the mother allegedly telling the teacher she was “going to get even.”

Backyard chicken trend causes spike in infections
Luke Gabriele was a healthy 14-year-old football player in Pennsylvania when he began to feel soreness in his chest that grew increasingly painful. When his breathing became difficult, doctors detected a mass that appeared to be a tumor.
For a week, Dan and DeAnna Gabriele thought their son was dying until tests identified the cause: not cancer, but chickens — the ones he cared for at home. They had apparently infected him with salmonella that produced a severe abscess.
The popular trend of raising backyard chickens in U.S. cities and suburbs is bringing with it a soaring number of illnesses from poultry-related diseases, some of them fatal.
Since January, more than 1,100 people have contracted salmonella poisoning from chickens and ducks in 48 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Almost 250 were hospitalized and one person died. The toll was four times higher than in 2015.

NOAA Winter Outlook
Warmer-than-normal conditions are most likely across the southern two-thirds of the continental U.S., along the East Coast, across Hawaii and in western and northern Alaska.
Below-average temperatures are favored along the Northern Tier of the country from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest and in southeastern Alaska.
The rest of the country falls into the equal chance category, which means they have an equal chance for above-, near-, or below-normal temperatures and/or precipitation because there is not a strong enough climate signal in these areas to shift the odds.

2 Million Americans May Have Arsenic in Their Well Water
As many as 2 million Americans may be drinking well water that contains potentially dangerous amounts of arsenic, a new government study warns.
The analysis, conducted by researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, measured arsenic levels in private wells across the United States.
Study author Joseph Ayotte described the private well problem as "widespread."
"We define 'high arsenic' to mean arsenic [levels] greater than 10 micrograms per liter," he said. That mirrors standards used when evaluating public wells, he noted.
