A 14-year-old recently featured in Sports Illustrated as one of six teens “who will rule the future in sports,” died after he was shot at a party in Illinois on Saturday night, according to police.
The shooting killed Jaylon McKenzie, 14, an eighth-grade student at Central Junior High School in Belleville, Ill., not far from East St. Louis. A 15-year-old girl was critically injured, police said, adding that no arrests have been made.
McKenzie’s mother said witnesses told her he was hit by a stray bullet after a fight broke out at the party, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
On Tuesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced a curious new plan for “strengthening our democracy”: Because the people of Istanbul had voted the wrong party into power, the city would be holding new elections.
Alleging fraud and irregularities, Erdogan’s AK Party scheduled a revote of the city’s municipal elections for next month, which the party lost in March to a coalition of opposition parties. It’s an untenable situation for Erdogan’s Islamist party, which relies on the patronage that comes from controlling local governments.
But a new election is untenable for much of the country, which erupted in protest after the announcement, and many Turks who had not previously been critical of Erdogan (including many celebrities) are taking the opposition’s side. Turkey’s former president and a co-founder of Erdogan’s party, Abdullah Gul, spoke out against the decision for a revote. Turkish media is reporting that Gul, along with former finance minister Ali Babacan, is planning to split from Erdogan and form a new party.
There has also been strong international censure of the decision, with condemnations from several European foreign ministers as well as the European Union.
Absent from this chorus thus far, however, is the Trump administration. Washington’s silence makes it seem as though the administration “wants Erdogan to stay in power forever,” says Ilhan Tanir, the executive editor of Ahval, a Turkish news site. “This is the time for the Trump administration to make a strong statement.”
The slow reaction from Washington may reflect the need to pay attention elsewhere. Since December, when President Donald Trump announced a U.S. withdrawal from Syria after a phone conversation with Erdogan, U.S. diplomats and generals have focused on getting Erdogan to promise not to attack the Syrian Kurds, who are a crucial U.S. ally in the fight against Islamic State. To this day, U.S. officials tell me, Erdogan has made no such pledge. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is engaged in a so-far-unsuccessfulcampaign to persuade Turkey not to go through with the purchase of a Russian air defense system.
“LOCK HER UP” AND “SLICK WILLIE” ARE ON THE RUBBER CHICKEN CIRCUIT. Haven’t we seen and heard enough of them? And the balls of them, they require admission to hear their jibber-jabberish. But true to the rumour the original ticket prices have been discounted as much as 100% and that is no bargain either.
We have a message for these two bozos, shut the “F” up. Yeah right, your lips are moving now, but under FBI and DOJ investigation you clammed up. Both of you are liars, one convicted too.
A guess what joke! How do you know when a lawyer is lying? As soon as they open their mouth. And for “Lock Her Up”, you lying murderer; you are a criminal.
OMAR BLAMES UNITED STATES FOR VENEZUELA’S DEMISE- CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS SOMALIAN POS BLAMING OUR COUNTRY FOR THE DEMISE OF OIL RICH VENEZUELA AND LAYING THE BLAME ON TRUMP.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) slams the Trump administration’s policies amid ongoing turmoil in Venezuela, saying a lot of the policies ‘kind of helped the devastation’ there.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, suggested Wednesday the United States could be partly to blame for the ongoing turmoil in Venezuela, saying the policies of the Trump administration had “kind of helped lead the devastation.”
Appearing on Democracy Now, a news program broadcast on PBS, among other outlets, Omar was asked to weigh in on what the host described as a “US-supported coup attempt” against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
“A lot of the policies that we have put in place has kind of helped lead the devastation in Venezuela and we have sort of set the stage for where we are arriving today,” Omar said. “This particular bullying and the use of sanctions to eventually intervene and make regime change really does not help the people of countries like Venezuela and it certainly does not help and is not in the interest of the United States.”
Omar added that there are “finally” lawmakers who have been elected to Congress who agree with her views.
That sparked plenty of backlash on social media and renewed calls for her to resign from the House Foreign Relations Committee.
Shocking video of children in Philadelphia Muslim Society: ‘We will chop off their heads’ for Allah
Disturbing footage of Muslim kids saying they would sacrifice themselves and kill for the “army of Allah” surfaced from an Islamic center in Philadelphia.
The Muslim American Society (MAS) Islamic Center in Philadelphia posted the video to its Facebook page celebrating “Ummah Day” in which young children wearing Palestinian scarves sang and read poetry about killing for Allah and the mosque in Jerusalem.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a watchdog group, alerted Fox News to the video.
“These are not isolated incidents; they are happening in major centers of the country – including in Pennsylvania,” MEMRI said in a statement.
In the video, translated by MEMRI, kids can be heard singing: “The land of the Prophet Muhammad’s Night Journey is calling us. Our Palestine must return to us.”
One girl talks about martyrs sacrificing their lives without hesitation to conquer Jerusalem.
“We will defend the land of divine guidance with our bodies, and we will sacrifice our souls without hesitation,” a second girl says. “We will chop off their heads, and we will liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa Mosque. We will lead the army of Allah fulfilling His promise, and we will subject them to eternal torture.”
MAS Philly belongs to the Muslim American Society (MAS), which has 42 chapters in the United States and one in the United Kingdom.
MAS’ website says that its mission is to “move people to strive for God-consciousness, liberty and justice, and to convey Islam with utmost clarity,” and that its vision is “a virtuous and just American society.”
In its latest press release, MAS condemns the synagogue shooting in California.
“Hate has no place in our society. In an era where we’ve seen an increase in hate crimes, including rising Islamophobia and anti-semitism, we must stand tall together in solidarity.” Ayman Hammous, executive director of MAS, said in a statement. “These acts of terror in places of worship and against humanity cannot become the norm.”
Chris Cuomo supports the left wing vigilante group ANTIFA. Like his father and grandfather, the apple does not fall far from the tree. All three are ardent believers in socialism and fantasize the rule of an Autocratic Regime taking power in the United States. Think Cuba, think Venezuela, think Nicaragua.
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo went to bat for Antifa on Monday night, arguing that what he called the group’s “good cause” was not equivalent to the positions espoused by neo-Nazis and white supremacists — but his panelists pushed back right away.
Ever since former Vice President Joe Biden revived the debate over President Trump’s remarks after the 2017 attack in Charlottesville, Va., Trump has doubled down, insisting he was acknowledging the “very fine people on both sides” of the issue of whether or not to take down the Confederate monuments.
Attorney General William Barr, AK-47 locked and loaded is up against a snowflake holding nothing more than a Super Soaker. Hands down that Barr will walk away on the vertical, Nadler will be carried by six on the horizontal. Such a site, will bring an enthusiastic response to the millions of Trumpians.
Sometimes it is necessary to bring out the real ammunition in order to put people in their place; now is the time to do just that. These wacko D’s will never get over the bloody loss they took on November 8, 2016 when “Lock Her Up” was thrown to the mat, suffering a near fatal concussion. This was the start of Trump’s derangement syndrome, which has affected the minions of libtards suffering also from bovine encepholopathy – seem to jump from animal to animal. Yes, true, they suffer from the eating of the brain of their own device.
Sit back and watch the contest unfold as Barr slaps Nadler into a dizzy spell like one he has never scene, one reminiscent of George Foreman barrage to the head of Joe Frazier. “Down goes Nadler.”
