An IBD/TIPP poll shows that “Americans overwhelmingly believe the Obama administration ‘improperly surveilled’ Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.”

Despite the disgraced American media’s best and most cynical efforts to bury the truth, and to even stop the truth from ever seeing the light of day, this poll (and another addressed below) demonstrate that the American people are almost entirely tuning the partisan, mostly-hysterical news media out and looking to alternative media for the truth.

There is simply no other way to explain these poll results, which unambiguously prove that a majority of the public believe the exact opposite of what an unceasing, coordinated media campaign wants them to believe — which is that President Trump colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 campaign and that the heroic FBI is being unfairly smeared by Trump’s eeeevil defenders.

Well, despite more than a year of this relentless propaganda coming from all four corners of the mainstream media’s fabricated reality, here are the results from all four corners of actual reality…

A clear majority of 55 percent believe it is “likely” that the Obama administration “improperly surveilled the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.” That includes 31 percent of Democrats, 87 percent of Republicans, and 55 percent of Independents.

A clear majority of 54 percent want a special counsel to investigate “whether the FBI and the Department of Justice improperly surveilled the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election.” Only 44 percent said no. The partisan breakdown shows that 74 percent of Republicans and 50 percent of Independents want a special counsel — as do a full 44 percent of Democrats.

In this particular poll, one fairly positive result for the FBI and Justice Department is that only 35 percent believe these institutions attempted to outright frame President Trump for colluding with the Russians.

A just-released Rasmussen poll, however, shows that a full 50 percent of Americans “believe it’s at least somewhat likely senior federal law enforcement officials broke the law in an effort to prevent Donald Trump from winning the presidency.” Only 40 percent disagree.

Another Rasmussen poll from this week shows that only 42 percent of Americans believe Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election more than the FBI. Moreover, a full 34 percent believe the FBI meddled more than the Russians, while 24 percent are unsure.

In other words, we now live in a country where 58 percent of Americans either believe our own FBI meddled in a presidential election more than a hostile foreign government, or are not sure the FBI did not.

Meanwhile, Trump’s approval rating is running ahead of former-President Obama’s at this point in his failed presidency.

Authorities in communist China have sent more than 100 Christians, mostly converts, from the Muslim Uighur-majority province of Xinjiang to “re-education camps” that teach loyalty to the country’s ruling party, reports Keep the Faith magazine, citing Open Doors, an organization that monitors the persecution of Christians.

“For Christians from a Muslim or a Tibetan Buddhist background, conversion is more than just changing religion, it is betraying a community,” notes the U.K.-based magazine. “They are threatened, attacked and reported to the local authorities.”

“Another persecution driver is the Communist government,” adds Open Doors in its 2018 list of the top 50 countries for Christian persecution. “Christians, in particular, are hedged in by authorities, as they are the largest social force in China not controlled by the state.”

Christians in Xinjiang, which borders Afghanistan, have reportedly been caught up in the crossfire of Beijing’s counterterrorism crackdown against separatists and jihadists from China’s oppressed Uighur (or Uyghur) ethnic minority.

Keep the Faith reveals:

More than 100 Christians have been sent to ‘re-education’ camps in China’s north-western Xinjiang province over the past few months according to Open Doors sources. These ‘mind-transformation centers’ teach citizens to be loyal to the communist ideology.

Most of those detained are from the Uyghur ethnic minority group and have a Muslim background. In recent years the Uyghurs they have been the prime targets of the government’s ‘anti-terror’ campaign, aimed at cracking down on both separatist groups and militant Islamists. Uyghur people who have converted to Christianity have also been caught up in the crackdown.

While Afghanistan ranks No. 2 in Open Doors list of the worst countries for Christians, China is number 43.

Referring to the followers of Christ who are sent to the “re-education” camps, an anonymous local church member told World Watch Monitor (WWM), which also covers Christian persecution across the globe, “Some stayed there for a month, others for half a year or even longer.”

Some Christians have gone missing after being forced into the communism loyalty centers, including a leader of a Chinese community of Christian converts.

“I don’t know where my husband is right now, but I believe that God still uses him in prisons or camps. Sometimes I am worried that he doesn’t have enough clothes to keep warm in the prison,” the leader’s wife told WWM.

Authorities in Xinjiang are even monitoring Christian children.

“The teacher in the school is paying special attention to my children after the authorities told the school about my husband,” said the wife.

Nearly a year ago, authorities in the allegedly autonomous region of Xinjiang, China’s largest province, banned all Christian activities outside communist government-approved churches as part of Beijing’s anti-terror efforts, reports Keep the Faith, adding:

Government-registered churches are also required to scan ID cards when they come to Sunday services. An alarm will sound if anyone works for the government or a public institution. Many Christians have stopped going to registered churches and instead meet in smaller secret groups.

…

There are around 20 million Muslims in China, most of them belonging to the Hui and Uyghur ethnic groups. Only a few thousand Christians are from a Muslim background. The majority live in the remote Xinjiang province. They experience pressure from the authorities as well as discrimination from their families and communities.

Open Doors places the estimated number of Christians in China at 97.2 million.

Christians in Xinjiang have insufficient choices for where they can flee to escape persecution.

The Chinese province borders Muslim-majority Afghanistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir where mistreatment of Christians is rampant. Kashmir is a Muslim-majority region claimed by Pakistan, India, and China.

Thousands of migrants are attempting to traverse the Alps to get out of Italy to their preferred destinations of Germany and other Northern European countries.

Volunteers working with migrants in the region say that they are finding more and more migrants with injuries sustained from extremely cold temperatures. They say that thousands of migrants are attempting to cross the Alps and that many end up in hospital, Swedish broadcaster Sveriges Radio reports.

Joel Pruvot, a male nurse who works with a group that helps migrants at the Briancon ski resort near the French border with Italy, said that he sees many migrants who need medical attention after trying to cross the mountains.

“We regularly see people who have frozen their feet, but luckily we usually get the feeling back, only if we can intervene quickly,” Pruvot said and added: “But many must also be taken to a hospital to get medicine that boosts blood circulation.”

According to the volunteers, around half of the migrants they see are boys in their teens.

In Canada, many migrants attempting to cross the border into Manitoba illegally have also become injured due to the cold temperatures. Some, like 36-year-old West African Kangni Kouevi, have suffered serious frostbite crossing into the country illegally.

Italy, which is currently home to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, could see a fresh influx this year as many fear the migrant crisis, which largely declined last summer, may be picking up again. Reports have revealed that thousands of migrants have arrived in Italy since the beginning of the year, up considerably from the past several months.

Italy also faces an election next month and both leaders of the leading centre-right coalition, former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and populist Lega leader Matteo Salvini, have promised to crack down on illegal immigrants.

Earlier this year, Salvini said he would deport 500,000 illegal migrants in five years. Not long after, Berlusconi upped the ante saying he would deport at least 600,000.

The centre-right coalition leads in all of the current polls.

Democrat California Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia (D-Bell Gardens), the woman who has led the #MeToo charge against sexual harassment in the Golden State, is herself the subject of an investigation into her alleged sexual harassment and groping of a former male legislative aide.

Daniel Fierro of Cerritos told Politico that when he was a 25-year-old staffer to Assemblyman Ian Calderon (D-Whittier) in 2014, an inebriated Garcia cornered him while he was alone after the annual Assembly softball game in Sacramento. She reportedly began stroking his back, then squeezed his buttocks and attempted to touch his crotch before he removed himself from the situation.

Politico notes that a prominent Sacramento lobbyist — who spoke on condition of anonymity — also complained about being sexually harassed by Garcia in May 2017. Garcia allegedly tried to grab his crotch at a political fundraiser hosted by Governor Jerry Brown for state Senator Josh Newman (D-Fullerton) at the de Veres bar in Sacramento. Garcia was allegedly inebriated.

Politico reports:

She spotted him and said,”Where are you going?” the lobbyist said.

“She came back and was whispering real close, and I could smell the booze and see she was pretty far gone,” he said. “She looked at me for a second and said, ‘I’ve set a goal for myself to fuck you.”

At that point, Garcia “stepped in front of me and reaches out and is grabbing for my crotch,” he said. That was “the line in the sand,” according to the lobbyist, and he stopped her. “I was four inches from her, eyeball to eyeball — and I said, ‘That ain’t gonna happen.’”

Ironically, Garcia told the New York Times that she was a victim of sexual harassment by men in the Capitol saying, “Multiple people have grabbed my butt and grabbed my breasts . . . We’re talking about senior lobbyists and lawmakers.”

In a statement to Politico on Thursday, Garcia said she had “zero recollection” of the alleged events:

Every complaint about sexual harassment should be taken seriously, and I will participate fully in any investigation that takes place. The details of these claims have never been brought to my attention until today. I can confirm that I did attend the 2014 legislative softball game with a number of members and my staff. I can also say I have zero recollection of engaging in inappropriate behavior and such behavior is inconsistent with my values.

A former Alabama teacher who was imprisoned after pleading guilty to having sex with two teens is appealing her conviction because she believes prohibiting sex with minors is “unconstitutional.”

The Daily Mail reported that Charli Jones Parker, 31, is appealing her conviction after a judge sentenced her to 12 years in prison in August for having sex with two of her 16-year-old male students.

As part of her guilty plea, however, the judge agreed that she would only serve three years of her sentence and five years of probation.

Parker, who taught at the private Christian school Pickens Academy in Carrolton, is arguing through her attorneys that a state law establishing criminal penalties for student-teacher sex is unconstitutional because it violates the equal protection clause.

Her lawyers say that the current state law treats teachers differently than other professions and criminalizes “private consensual relationships,” although Alabama’s age of consent is 16, the Tuscaloosa News reported.

“Alabama law does not make it a crime for members of other occupations to have consensual sex with 16-, 17- and 18-year-olds, even when there is a position of trust or authority,” said Parker’s attorney Virginia Buck. “School employees have been unfairly singled out and are being sent to prison for something that, at most, might cost people their job or their license in any other profession.”

Authorities arrested Parker in 2016 and charged her with 13 counts of having a sexual relationship “with a student under the age of 19.”

Parker is accused of having sex with one of the students 11 times between October 2014 and March 2016 in a graveyard and at her home. She was also accused of having sex with another 16-year-old student at his home in June 2016.

Because the age of consent varies from state-to-state, some teachers have been accused of having sexual relationships with students as old as 18 years old.

A 22-year-old student teacher at Conard High School in West Hartford, Connecticut, was charged this week with sexual assault for allegedly having a consensual sexual relationship with an 18-year-old male student.

A still-grieving mother whose teenage son died at the hands of a criminal alien in 2010 excoriated House Minority Nancy Pelosi this week for wasting eight hours of Congress’ time Thursday delivering a spiel on the House floor in honor of illegal immigrants like the one who murdered her son.

“I think I can speak for all angel parents that would say, you know, we wish you would do a shut-up-a-thon,” angel mom Laura Wilkerson said Thursday evening on Fox News, directing her ire at Pelosi. “You know, she just wasted her time, everybody’s time yesterday. She doesn’t seem to get it.”

Pelosi certainly does not. Instead of using the eight hours to speak on behalf of the American citizens who’ve lost family members to illegal immigrant murderers, the House minority leader waxed rhapsodic about illegals themselves, particularly those affected by former President Barack Obama’s since-repealed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

“Our DREAMers hang in limbo, with a cruel cloud of fear and uncertainty above them,” Pelosi bellowed from the House floor at the start of her speech, according to NPR. “The Republican moral cowardness must end. So I’m going to go on as long as my leadership minute allows.”

She reportedly continued by reading “read statements from people in the country illegally who were brought here as children.”

I suspect that what most Americans find truly “cruel” is her indifference and apathy toward mothers like Ms. Wilkerson, whose tribulations she practically dismissed when the two came face-to-face during a town hall last year.

Listen to Wilkerson’s full Fox News interview below, or fast-forward to the 3:30 mark for her scathing “shut-up-a-thon” retort:

When Pelosi and Wilkerson met last year, the grieving mother described the excruciating details of her son’s murder and asked why Pelosi continues to support sanctuary city laws despite the preponderance of illegal immigrant crime.

“In 2010, one of the illegals slaughtered my son. He tortured him, he beat him, he tied him up like an animal, and he set him on fire. And I am not a one-story mother. This happens every day,” she said, as reported by RealClearPolitics.

“Because there are no laws enforcing the border. We have to start giving American families first. This is not — bad to not put Americans first. We have family that fought and died for this country. How do you reconcile in your head about allowing people to disavow the law?”

Pelosi responded by defending illegal immigrants as “law-abiding citizens” and claiming that sanctuary city laws “enables them to, to be there without being reported to ICE in case of another crime that they might bear witness to.”

Listen to their back-and-forth exchange below:

If it wasn’t clear then just how little Pelosi cares for the victims of illegal immigrant crime, I hope it is clear by now.
