Islamic Protester Booted from Trump Rally Is Anti-Israel Activist, Promotes Radical Imams

Rose Hamid, an Islamic protester who made headlines when she was removed from a Donald Trump rally in South Carolina Friday night and attempted to position herself as a victim of ‘Islamophobia’ thereafter, has a history rife with extremist advocacy.

In a CNN article titled, “Silently protesting Muslim woman ejected from Trump rally,” Hamid, 56, is described as an innocent “flight attendant” who came to the rally in hopes that Trump supporters could better understand Muslims. When the Republican frontrunner started to discuss the refugee situation in Syria and President Obama’s policies in the region, a group of protesters alongside Hamid started a “commotion,” the Washington Post reports. Then, the group–who were sporting provocative yellow stars reminiscent to those that Jews were forced to wear under the Third Reich–was promptly ejected from the rally.

“The ugliness really came out fast and that’s really scary,” she told CNN.

Breitbart News has learned that Hamid is not simply a “flight attendant,” but is also an Islamic activist who apologizes for Palestinian terrorism and promotes radical Imams.

As President of the Muslim Women of the Carolinas, Hamid has consistently promoted anti-Israel propaganda and has excused Palestinian jihadi terrorism as “resistance” against “occupation.”

ICE arrests 175 sexual predators in PA, WV, DE in 2015


PHILADELPHIA — More than 14 dozen criminal sexual predator aliens were deported or are facing deportation proceedings after they were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in the last year.
"With nearly two hundred sexual predator aliens out of our communities, our children are more protected, and our society is safer," said Tom Decker, ERO Philadelphia field office director. "Our deportation officers will continue to target those criminal aliens who pose the most threat to the public."
From Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2015, the 175 criminals were arrested in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia as part of the ERO Philadelphia's focus on removing criminal aliens, both who are here illegally and who whose legal status was revoked by an immigration judge due to their crimes. These aliens are priorities for removal under the established in the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Nov. 20, 2014 memorandum entitled "Policies for the Apprehension, Detention and Removal of Undocumented Immigrants."
The arrests included a 43-year-old Dominican Republic man, Luis Rosado, who was a legal resident in the United States, but an immigration judge revoked his legal status when he solicited anal sex and sexually assaulted a child between the ages of 5 and 11.

Newt: Understanding Donald Trump

Donald Trump is a genuine phenomenon.

He may or may not become the Republican nominee for president.

He may or may not win the presidency even if he becomes the nominee.

Yet it is clear that he is a phenomenon and that any history of the 2016 presidential race will have to spend a good bit of time analyzing Mr. Trump and his impact.

From the time he announced on June 16, Mr. Trump has dominated social and mainstream media. He dominates the conversation despite the lack of paid advertising.

Mr. Trump says outrageous things and his supporters shrug it off. At every turn, his poll numbers continue to rise.

As a step toward understanding this amazing performance, I spent part of the Christmas break reading his first bestseller, “The Art of the Deal.”

Written in 1987, this book is a classic among American business books and has influenced a generation of entrepreneurs.

Mr. Trump wrote “The Art of the Deal” when he was 41 years old and having a successful run. The book’s popularity contributed to Time Magazine’s decision to feature Donald Trump on its cover in January 1989.

The portrait that emerges from this easy-to-read and remarkably interesting book is of an aggressive, ambitious person who is constantly pushing, constantly learning, and always seeking the next challenge.

Three Injured When Bus Overturns On I-70 In Howard Co.

(MARIOTTSVILLE, MD) – Two teenagers and an adult were transported to a hospital this afternoon after the private school bus they were riding in overturned on Interstate 70 in Howard County.

The bus driver is identified as Wilbur Randolph Jr., 71, of Baltimore, MD. He was driving a school bus for hire owned by the City Wide Bus Company in Baltimore, Md. Randolph did not report being injured.

The three passengers on the bus were Arlene S. Beverly, 53, a school aide, and two students, ages 18 and 16. All three were transported to Howard County General Hospital by ambulance. Information regarding what school they were from is not known at this time.

At about 3:30 p.m. today, troopers from the Waterloo Barrack were dispatched to eastbound Interstate 70, east of Marriottsville Road, for the report on an overturned school bus. Troopers found the bus laying on its right side in the center grass median. No other vehicles were involved in the crash.

The preliminary investigation indicates the driver was traveling in the fast lane of eastbound I-70 when he was cut off by another vehicle and apparently lost control of the bus. The bus overturned onto its right side in the center median.

One lane of eastbound I-70 was closed for about two hours. State Highway Administration and CHART personnel assisted with diverting traffic around the scene. The bus was removed and the scene was clear before 6:00 p.m. today.

No charges have been filed at this time. The investigation is continuing.

Germany Deploys 143 Officers To Stop Migrant Rape, 1,500 Officers To Stop Anti-Rape Protest

COLOGNE, Germany: A peaceful protest turned violent in the blink of an eye today as German police turned water canon on the Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of Europe (PEGIDA) march against the rape of German girls by refugees.

The protest had been called at short notice in response to the growing public anger felt across Germany at the apparently premeditated and systematic sex assault of hundreds of girls as they parties on New Year’s Eve on Cologne and other German cities.

Despite taking place in multi-cultural west Germany, which has been the most enthusiastically accepting of Angela Merkel’s policies of mass migration and scorning of traditional values over 3,000 took part — a record for an anti-migration march in this part of the country.

The demonstration started with speeches and socialising among those attending, an event that stood in strong contrast to the deafening and chaotic leftist counter demonstration just yards away.

PEGIDA has long prided itself on taking the moral high ground against their hard-left detractors and set out to maintain that reputation today. Loudspeakers announced alcohol, glass bottles, and face-coverings were banned.

Town of Ocean City Offering Ocean Front and Ocean Side Residents Plants for Secondary Dune Area


Ocean City, Maryland –: For the tenth year in a row, the Town of Ocean City will be offering beach district plants to the public for planting in the secondary dune area. The plants being offered are hardy plants that tolerate the harsh environment of the ocean front areas. In addition, these plants provide habitat enhancement, food and shelter, water quality treatment and erosion control to the secondary dune area, which tends to be overlooked and is in need of attention.
“We began this program to help create habitat and prevent erosion of the area behind the dune which was in need of attention,” said Town of Ocean City Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer. “The plants are very beneficial to the stability of the dune system and help with erosion and scour. Our residents and property owners love the program and it benefits the environment and the beach, so it is a win for everyone.”
Ocean front and ocean side residents will have the opportunity to order plants that will need to be picked up at a predetermined date and time. Suitable plants to add to a secondary dune area include beach grass, bayberry, rugosa rose, beach plum, high tide bush, red cedar and panic grass. Applications are now being accepted, however, the deadline for all applications is February 20.
For more information or to receive and application, please contact Gail Blazer in the Town’s Engineering Department at (410) 289-8825 or email gblazer@oceancitymd.gov. Also, more information is provided by visiting http://oceancitymd.gov/oc/departments/engineering/environment/.

Marijuana dispensaries save lives, new study shows

The United States has a problem with painkillers. During the past 15 years, America has seen a tremendous growth in both the sales of prescription opiates and the number of people who die each year from abusing them. More than 16,000 people fatally overdosed on prescription painkillers in 2013, accounting for 60% of all overdose deaths, according to the Center for Disease Control. But anew study suggests that some states have already stumbled onto a means of curbing this fatal epidemic: Easily-accessible marijuana.

For the study, researchers from the RAND Corporation and the University of California-Irvine (UCI) examined whether, in the years following legalization, states that legalized marijuana had experienced reductions in fatal overdoses and addiction treatment center admissions relating to opioid abuse. The researchers found that these states experienced significant reductions in both measures of opioid misuse — but only if they had also legalized marijuana dispensaries.

Syrian Refugee Among First Lady’s Guests For State Of Union

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Syrian scientist stricken with cancer and seeking a new start for his family in Michigan will represent Syrian refugees as a guest of first lady Michelle Obama for the president’s final State of the Union address.

President Barack Obama has committed to accepting an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees, but some Republican lawmakers and presidential candidates are critical of the expansion. Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, for example, noted the recent arrest of two Iraqi refugees. During an interview with CNN that aired Sunday, Cruz emphasized that they came to the United States “using the same vetting that President Obama wants us to trust with Syrian refugees.”

Refaai Hamo, his son and three daughters landed at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in December, anxious to rebuild their lives. Hamo fled to Turkey from Syria after a missile attack killed his wife and one other daughter. He was profiled on the popular photo blog Humans of New York as “The Scientist.”

Franchot Pledges Regulation Of Fantasy Sports Sites

When lawmakers begin their session in Annapolis on Wednesday there is the possibility that lawmakers may ban daily fantasy sports sites, after officials in New York ordered Draft Kings and Fan Duel to shut down operations there.

The Baltimore Sun recently reported that former Maryland Lottery and Gaming Director Stephen Martino has been hired as a lobbyist for the websites.

Senate President Mike Miller told The Daily Record’s Bryan Sears, he felt the sites were in violation of the Maryland constitution, which requires any expansion of gambling to be approved by voters.

Comptroller Peter Franchot told Maryland’s News This Week that a 2014 law made these sites legal, and puts his office in charge of regulating them.

Netanyahu 'Fighting Obama's Plan to be UN Secretary-General'

Kuwaiti newspaper A Jarida reported Friday that US President Barack Obama seeks to be appointed UN secretary general after his second term as US president ends. The newspaper claimed that Obama has been discussing the idea with senior Democrats and Republicans, some of whom are Jewish.

The report, which admittedly appears somewhat far-fetched, has not been confirmed by any other news outlets and does not name any of its sources. It adds that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has learned of Obama's aspirations and that he is opposing them, supposedly telling people he spoke to: "Is it not enough that we have had to live through eight years of Obama's rule, in which he ignored Israel? Now he wants to be in a position to cause us difficulty in the international arenas?"

The newspaper cites what it says are sources close to Netanyahu as allegedly saying that "Obama is the worst president for Israel, the Middle East and Israel's allies – the moderate Arab states."

A Netanyahu confidant reportedly said that Netanyahu intends to scuttle the "Obama project" of being appointed UN Secretary General, and noted that Obama's term in office has been characterized by a closeness to the Muslim Brotherhood, the toppling of Hosni Mubarak's regime in Egypt, and attempts to forge alliances with political Islam.
