FAKE NEWS CNN: NYC attacker yelled 'God is Great'

CNN spread fake news on Tuesday afternoon by reporting the attacker in lower Manhattan yelled “God is Great.”

During Wolf Blitzer’s show, the graphic along the bottom of the screen reported the suspected Islamic terrorist yelled “God is Great,” not “Allahu Akbar,” a cry heard often during terrorist attacks and what witnessed reported hearing.

In reality, the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov, yelled “Allahu Akbar,” according to that uber-conservative rag The New York Times.

CBS News, which reports Saipov is a Uzbek national, also reports he shouted the Islamic slogan “when he exited a rented pickup truck that he used to strike pedestrians along Manhattan’s West Side Highway.”

He reportedly killed 8 people and wounded 12 others.

Breaking News: "The collisions were avoidable." A Navy report blamed a string of basic errors for two deadly destroyer accidents in the Pacific this year.

Two collisions between Navy destroyers and commercial vessels in the Western Pacific earlier this year were “avoidable” and the result of a string of crew and basic navigational errors, the Navy’s top officer said in a report to be made public on Wednesday.
Seven sailors were killed in June when the destroyer Fitzgerald collided with a container ship near Japan. The collision in August of the John S. McCain — another destroyer, named after Senator McCain’s father and grandfather — and an oil tanker in Southeast Asia left 10 sailors dead.

Time to Admit It: CNN's Jake Tapper Is Failing

While those of us who once admired CNN’s Jake Tapper as a rarity in the mainstream media — an honest and objective journalist, have been shocked by his transformation into a dishonest, sanctimonious, left-wing virtue-signaler, we assumed his lying and peacocking was in pursuit of the applause and fame he so transparently craves.

His laughably bad ratings, though, appear to show that like most people who sell their soul, Tapper was tricked by the Devil.

To be fair to Tapper, CNN’s transition into a hard-left social justice network, something Breitbart News was the first to document and warn about nearly five years ago, has dragged the entire network down, from second place behind Fox News, into last place behind MSNBC.

Reputation-wise, CNN is now a laughingstock, an embattled fake news factory rocked by endless scandals in its desperate pursuit of President Trump, and the hideous cause of further-empowering the federal government.

Group of Professors: Math is “unjust” and “oppressive” to minority students

Alright, we get it! Everything is terrible and horrible and no matter what we do, minorities are always going to have the short end of the stick in everything from minor social interactions to board room discussions. Can we just stop labeling every single thing on the planet as “racist” or “oppressive”?

I don’t even know how one considers math to be “unjust.” Sure it sucks and it’s hard for a lot of people, but it’s one of those things that just IS. Calling math biased against minorities is like saying that gravity is bigoted. It absolutely cannot be any of those things. It’s just FACT. It’s one of the least biased things in the world, and yet somehow social justice warriors have managed to convince highly educated university professors that the subject they are teaching is somehow slanted in favor of people with lighter skin. (Because you know, your skin color dictates your ability to find “x” in an equation.)

G.I. Joe & Lillie: Get Out Your Tissues

More Than Half Of Opioid Overdose Deaths Now Involve Synthetic Drugs Like Fentanyl

If you’ve had any doubt that America is in the throes of an opioid epidemic, perhaps a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will hit the point home.

According to the agency’s latest Morbidity and Mortality report, more than half the opioid overdose deaths in 10 states involved the synthetic drug fentanyl.

The CDC’s report [PDF] looked at opioid overdose deaths during July–Dec. 2016 that tested positive for fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, or U-47700, an illicit synthetic opioid, in 10 states participating in its Enhanced State Opioid Overdose Surveillance (ESOOS) program. It found that Fentanyl was involved in more than 50% of opioid overdose deaths in those states.

Maryland To Try Sending Recall Notices With Car Registration Renewals

Your state’s department of motor vehicles already knows what make and model of car you own, and sends you registration documents every few years that you have to open. Safety advocates have suggested including information about important vehicle recalls in vehicle registrations to make sure more people know about recalls and comply. In an experimental program, Maryland will start sending these notices to vehicle owners.

Tick Tock...


Warning: Phone Scammer Uses MSP Number For Credit Card Recording

(PIKESVILLE, MD) – Maryland State Police are warning the public about a reported telephone scam in which the caller cloned a state police number for a recording call offering credit card services.

A woman from Baltimore County called the Maryland State Police Monday afternoon and reported she had received a call in which the caller ID on her phone showed “Maryland State Government” and the number 410-653-4241, which is a number for the Maryland State Police Office of Media Communications. However, when she answered the call, it was a recording to offer credit card services.

The Maryland State Police have no connection to any credit card company and would never solicit such information or services over the phone from any citizen. Anyone who receives such a phone call should hang up and then contact their local state police barrack. Callers may remain anonymous.

Star Parker: Black Leaders Peddle ‘The Perception Of Racism’ To Get Money And Power

Star Parker, a former Democrat who previously “believed all the lies of the left,” now decries the division and race-consciousness expanding across America, even after the country elected its first black president.

While America could be more united, Parker says the “perception of racism has become big business” as America’s liberal black leaders “shake down corporations for billions of dollars,” divide America by skin color and reject Dr. Martin Luther King’s goal of making skin color irrelevant.

The “lies of the left” Parker previously believed included “the poor are poor because the wealthy are wealthy, that my problems were somebody else’s fault and that America was racist.” Her beliefs, she says, fueled a reckless lifestyle, including criminal behavior, drugs, sexual activity and welfare dependency. A life-changing Christian conversion gave her a new set of eyes, values and a commitment to wake up others to freedom that are trapped in welfare dependency.

Ex-Clinton Aide to Establishment: Only Working Together Can Stop Trump

‘Peegate’ dossier story showed both the Left and Right establishment tried to stop Trump from becoming president

Brian Fallon, press secretary for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, says both the Left and the Right separately attempted to halt President Trump from winning the 2016 election, after it was reported that the conservative Washington Free Beacon was the original funder of an anti-Trump opposition research project with Fusion GPS.

“Only by working together will we succeed,” Fallon added in a tweet Friday evening.
The Free Beacon discontinued funding the project in the spring of 2016, during the primary season. Fusion GPS was then hired by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee up until a few days before the November election.

The US Government Quietly Added $200 Billion To The National Debt This Month Alone

There’s been something happening this month that very few people have noticed.

It’s been lost beneath all the other headline-dominating news, from the Las Vegas shooting to Harvey Weinstein to the Mueller investigation.

But very quietly behind the scenes there’s been an extremely rapid uptick in the US national debt.

In the month of October alone, the US national debt has soared by nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars.

Trump Calls For Prosecution Of Democrats: 'Do Something'

Comments come after reports of impending indictments from Mueller

President Trump responded to reports that special counsel Robert Mueller is about to indict people in his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election by pointing the finger at Democrats.

Trump said the investigation into whether his campaign colluded with the Kremlin is “phony,” “bad for our country,” a “witch hunt,” and “evil politics.”

He added the news that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the unverified dossier alleging scandalous behavior by Trump has united Republicans.

“Never seen such Republican ANGER & UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake Dossier (now $12,000,000?), the Uranium to Russia deal, the 33,000 plus deleted Emails, the Comey fix and so much more,” Trump tweeted.

The The Mother of All Scandals

There is an answer to Hillary’s question, “What Happened?”

And yes, it should be considered a dumb question rather than a book title. But the short answer to her question is: She fooled almost the entire left, for over two decades. Oh wait, that was a book title, not a question.

And therein lies her biggest problem. She’s not really asking the question as she should be, she’s not reflecting. Instead, she’s wagging a finger and blaming everyone else for her loss.

Back to the Clintons fooling the left. Let’s start counting the ways. She was not just smart, she was the smartest woman ever. She was fully competent and capable in everything. She fought bravely for all the right issues. She was more qualified to be President than anyone who preceded her. She was, and is, the bright moral compass pointing the way forward to the left (who they believe should be all of us). She was the Yin to her husband’s Yang. They were the best power couple ever, a beacon of truth shining in the darkness.

Except they weren’t. She has proved that over time, and her book tour is confirming it.
