Conservatives welcome. Libs & RINOs go away. It's all of you destroying the society and conservatives must no longer appease you!

Child abuse is one of the most horrific, disturbing and cruel evils in this world. Although wicked wherever it occurs, abuse from those entrusted to care and help children is even more disturbing.
A video from a daycare in Winter Haven, Florida, has gone viral as it shows two daycare workers taunting and abusing an 8-year-old child with autism, WNYW reported.
In the video, which was shot by one of the workers, an African-American woman, identified as Kaderrica Smith, can be seen throwing a backpack at the child who is hiding under a desk. She even laughs when he cries “ow!” after the backpack hit him.

WTSP reported that the video was originally uploaded to the popular video-sharing app “Snapchat.”

The woman also causes the boy to fall down later in the video after performing a “leg sweep.” He lands on his back, and she and her partner, identified as Alexus Henderson, begin cackling again.

“They have had the training for the de-escalation of an autistic child, and then they treat the child like that?” Winter Haven Police Department Chief Charlie Bird stated. “There is no excuse.”
Thankfully these two sadistic human beings have since been arrested. Smith and Henderson turned themselves over to the police Thursday night.
Both have been banned from contact with children, including Smith’s three children. While Henderson did not actually abuse the child (at least not in the video) she is being accused of not lifting a finger to stop Smith.
The Washington Post reported that police were informed of the video on Sept. 1, and in an initial interview neither Smith nor Henderson expressed any remorse over what they did. In fact, they insisted they had done nothing wrong.

These people are truly disturbed. Hopefully they are sent to jail for a long time so they’ll never think about carrying out such cruel actions again.
It takes a special type of evil to pick on a child with autism, and the fact that these women showed no remorse for their actions shows just how twisted they really are.

The legislation is being backed by Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, despite broad public opposition to cheap-labor amnesties, and would allow the 2.5 million Democratic-leaning illegals to become citizens in 10 years.
The bill reflects Tillis’ hard-nosed push for greater use of foreign workers, in both the blue-collar H-2B program and the white-collar H-1B program. Many North Carolina companies, such including universities, are importing foreigners for white-collar jobs sought by young American graduates. In 2016, for example, companies in Charlotte, N.C., asked for almost 2,200 H-1B visas to import white-collar outsourcing workers. Tillis has repeatedly said he wants to let companies hire more cheap-labor blue-collar and white-collar contract workers. He was quoted by an Indian newspaper saying that any foreigners who get an advanced degree in the United States should be allowed to become citizens and compete against Americans for jobs.
Before being elected in 2006, he worked as a manager at IBM and at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Both firms are heavily involved in the white-collar outsourcing business.
A July poll showed Tillis’ approval as low as 29 percent in his home state, according to McClatchy. Tillis is up for reelection in 2020. Lankford was elected in 2016, so he will not face the voters until 2022.
A rival amnesty proposal, which is dubbed the Dream Act, is being pushed by the Democratic leadership. It would offer fast-track citizenship to 3.3 million younger illegals in as little as five years, and allow the new citizens to win green cards for their at-home relatives. The 3.3 million number includes the roughly 690,000 current beneficiaries of the expiring “DACA” amnesty.
The Lankford-Tillis legislation does not require funds for a border wall, and it does not implement any of the wage-boosting immigration-cutbacks which are included in the popular, wage-boosting RAISE Act, which was drafted Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton and Georgia Sen. David Perdue, and is backed by President Donald Trump.
According to McClatchy:
Sen. Thom Tillis will introduce his “conservative Dream Act” on Monday that would provide a pathway to citizenship for as many as 2.5 million young undocumented immigrants, but one that is long and involves “extreme vetting.”
The North Carolina Republican and cosponsor James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, will pitch the plan as “merit-based” relief that must be earned — and, critically, not “amnesty,” according to Republican talking points obtained by McClatchy. But unlike other merit-based immigration proposals that limit new immigrants from entering the country based on their job skills, this proposal would limit who can remain in the country based on their years of American education, work experience or military service.
The amnesty legislation included many apparent tests, steps, and requirements for the illegal immigrants to help counter the public’s election-tested opposition to amnesty. However, the McClatchy report does not say if these tests are different from normal immigration reviews, it does not provide details on which agency will oversee the tests, and it does not say if illegals who fail the tests will be sent home.
According to the report:
All applicants will have to pass a medical examination and be “extreme vetted.” The vetting will include three separate rounds of security and background checks to ensure they have no criminal history and pose no national security threat. The first check would happen when the immigrant enters the program followed by a second check after five years. The third check comes after 15 years, if and when the immigrant applies to become a citizen.
The McClatchy report did not offer any expected price tag for the Tillis bill. However, Breitbart has calculated that cost of the Dream Act cost $115 billion in the first ten years, just for Obamacare costs. Costs would rise further when the illegals say on Obamacare, and when they sponsor their foreign relations to become U.S. citizens.
The Tillis-Lankford bill is based on the Recognizing America’s Children (RAC) Act, introduced by Florida Republican Rep. Carlos Curbelo. According to McClatchy:
The proposal would grant high school graduates without a serious criminal record conditional immigration status for a five-year period. During that time, if they earn a higher-education degree, serve in the military or stay employed, they could apply for permanent residency and, eventually, citizenship.
The Curbelo bill is lauded by the industry-boosted Niskanen Center, which strongly supports companies’ easy use of foreign workers. The center claims Curbelo’s matching legislation would offer citizenship to 2.5 million illegals. The extra workers would expand the size of the economy by $79 billion after ten years, according to the center, which does not say if the extra labor will help employed and unemployed Americans win higher wages and salaries.
The McClatchy report also says the TIllias-Lankford legislation is backed by the New American Economy business group. Three members of the group’s six-member leadership were Democratic politicians, and the other three are the chairmen of Marriott Hotels, Walt Disney, and News Corp.
Four million Americans turn 18 each year and begin looking for good jobs. However, the government imports roughly 1 million legal immigrants to compete against Americans for jobs.
The government also hands out almost 3 million short-term work permits to foreign workers. These permits include roughly 330,000 one-year OPT permits for foreign graduates of U.S. colleges, roughly 200,000 three-year H-1B visas for foreign white-collar professionals, and 400,000 two-year permits to DACA illegals.
That Washington-imposed policy of mass-immigration floods the market with foreign labor, spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions.
Americans tell pollsters that they strongly oppose amnesties and cheap-labor immigration, even as most also want to favor legal immigrants, and many even sympathize with illegals.
Amid the huge inflow of new workers, wages for men have remained flat since 1973, and the percentage of working Americans has declined steadily for the last few decades.

Man of courage.
Via Daily Caller:
Former U.S. Army Ranger officer Alejandro Villanueva, the only Pittsburgh Steelers player to exit the locker room and stand for the national anthem Sunday, earned a Bronze Star with valor during a combat deployment to Afghanistan in 2011.
Villanueva recounted the Aug. 25, 2011 story of his valor in a 2014 interview with ESPN. The former Army Ranger’s unit described being tipped off at night to the presence of multiple Taliban in a nearby Kandahar village. When his unit arrived he found no Taliban and began questioning an Afghan elder.

Germany went all in accepting refugees from the Middle East and other war-torn regions of the world. The nation took in nearly 900,000 in 2015 alone, The Washington Post reported. In just two years, some 1.2 million poured in.
Now a new report shows very few of the newcomers bothered to get a job — or were hired by German businesses. Just 34,000 refugees — or 2.8% — who streamed into Germany in the last two years have managed to get a job, the U.K.’s Express reports.
The numbers apply to refugees mostly from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea.
“If we manage to get 50 percent of them into work which pays for their lives in five years, that’d certainly be a success,” said Joachim Möller, director of the government’s Institute for Labour Research told the Express.
“But it would be an illusion to believe that we will manage to find jobs for a decent proportion of refugees in well-paid industry jobs like car manufacturing.”
This means the burden of feeding, housing and caring for them will continue to soar into the billions and fall upon the German taxpayer.
One bright side is that the crisis has created an estimated 60,000 jobs for Germans in social work, teaching and in security for the numerous asylum centres around the country.
Meanwhile, the Gatestone Institute reported that “authorities in Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany, have begun confiscating private dwellings to ease a housing shortage — one that has been acutely exacerbated by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to allow more than two million migrants into the country in recent years.”
City officials have been seizing commercial properties and converting them into migrant shelters since late 2015, when Merkel opened German borders to hundreds of thousands of migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Now, however, the city is expropriating residential property units owned by private citizens.
In an unprecedented move, Hamburg authorities recently confiscated six residential units in the Hamm district near the city center. The units, which are owned by a private landlord, are in need of repair and have been vacant since 2012. A trustee appointed by the city is now renovating the properties and will rent them — against the will of the owner — to tenants chosen by the city. District spokeswoman Sorina Weiland said that all renovation costs will be billed to the owner of the properties.
Over the weekend, Merkel was re-elected as chancellor, which means Germans must be OK with the influx.

When President Donald Trump bluntly addressed the NFL players’ disrespectful national anthem protests during a rally Friday night in Alabama, his words instantly sparked condemnation from the media and the left, and prompted even more players to take a knee on Sunday.
Of course, since many of the players who knelt are black, and the protests are purportedly done in opposition to perceived racial injustice, many on the left assumed Trump’s remarks are racist. The president was asked about this assumption on Sunday afternoon during his return to the White House, according to Variety.
“We have great people representing our country, especially our soldiers, our first responders, and they should be treated with respect,” Trump said of his stance against the protests. “And when you get on your knee and you don’t respect the America flag or the anthem, that’s not being treated with respect.”

“This has nothing to do with race. I never said anything about race,” he replied when asked if he was “inflaming racial tensions,” according to the Los Angeles Times. “This has nothing to do with race or anything else. This has to do with respect for our country and respect for our flag.”
President Trump on some NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem: “This has nothing to do with race” https://t.co/sRMnbWE8Yi
— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) September 24, 2017
To be sure, even as Trump has studiously avoided making any mention of race at any point in any of his commentary regarding the national anthem protests, many on the left still presumed to know Trump’s true motivations, and accused him of being racist.
Advertisement – story continues below
Thus, Trump reiterated his stance Monday with a tweet that read: “The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for our Country, Flag and National Anthem. NFL must respect this!”
However, Trump is still a racist — so speaketh the media — thus, everything Trump says must be viewed through a racial lens, and even as he eschews mentioning race and explicitly states that his stance against the protests has nothing to do with race, it is still all about race, as evidenced by this piece in The Washington Post.
Sadly, there are those on the left so consumed by identity politics they feel it necessary to incessantly insert race into everything. So it really is no surprise that even as Trump said race has nothing to do with his opposition to the protests, and it is instead all about respect, his words were summarily dismissed and he is still smeared as a racist.

That said, a majority of Americans and football fans feel the same way as Trump about the national anthem protests. They wish these players would take a moment to reflect that, in spite of the legitimate issues our nation needs to address, the U.S. nevertheless remains a nation full of freedom and opportunity for which others fought and died.

<p>In Sunday’s <em>New York Times</em>, the paper’s departing prophet of environmental doom, er reporter, Justin Gillis answered 17 questions under the heading “Your Questions About Climate Change, Answered.” Here’s a slice of Gillis’s confidently alarmist Q&A with himself, with leading questions answered with unjustified certitude — just like in his previous “climate change” articles. He got really apocalyptic with his dire prophecies: "If greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked, scientists say, the global warming could ultimately exceed 8 degrees Fahrenheit, which would undermine the planet’s capacity to support a large human population."</p>

Yesterday’s New York magazine had the best summary of the state of the Trump-Russia collusion investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller yet written. It was contained in a single paragraph buried deep in an article with no other surprises so you have to look for it. Yet despite having to wade through material which basically tells us what we already know about that investigation, that one paragraph is so stunning in its revelation amid an otherwise routine summary of what Mueller is possibly up to, that it hits the reader like a hard slap across the face.
Before reaching that revelatory paragraph, New York magazine correspondent Cristian Farias reminds us that it is quite extraordinary that a private citizen, Paul Manafort, was secretly surveilled twice via FISA warrants. Uh, yeah, it was stunning and it also confirms that President Donald Trump was almost certainly right in his claim that Trump Tower was wiretapped. However, we have known this for over a week.
<<< Please support MRC’s NewsBusters team with a tax-deductible contribution today. >>>
Farias also lets us know that it would probably be wise for other possible targets of the Mueller investigation to obtain lawyers even if they have nothing to hide. Yup, good advice but just as one is about to doze off from this story seeming to go nowhere, Farias suddenly stuns us with this shocking paragraph that gets right to the heart of the matter:
One individual who is familiar with an aspect of the Mueller inquiry but asked to not be named told New York that, unlike other federal probes that he’s seen in action, where prosecutors build their cases from clear allegations, this one feels different. “This is a backward investigation,” the individual said. “You don’t have a crime. You’re searching. And so you’re not really sure exactly what you’re searching for. So you start asking around and you see what comes up. And you start creating a paradigm and you see what else comes up and figure out at some point whether or not there’s a crime.”
Got that? This is a “backward investigation” where “you don’t have a crime” so “you’re searching.” Oh, and you aren’t “really sure what you’re searching for” so you just “start asking around and see what comes up.” In fact you have to figure out “whether or not there is a crime.”
Does this “backward investigation” not sound exactly like a perfect description of a fishing expedition? Every correspondent covering the Mueller investigation should print out that revelatory paragraph from New York magazine, laminate it, and carry it around at all times as a reminder as to what this Mueller investigation is all about…a fishing expedition.

A 77-year-old Chicago nun is working to end violence in her neighborhood by bringing neighbors together, and she told NBC’s Megyn Kelly on Monday that God is protecting her.
Sister Donna Liette works in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood, an area Kelly called “one of America’s toughest neighborhoods.” She works with teenage boys — many of whom have been victims of gun violence — as well as their mothers.
Liette told Kelly she hears “at least” about five to seven murders in her neighborhood every week. More than 750 people were killed last year, the Chicago Tribune reported, and the city could see even more homicides by the end of this year.
The Catholic nun said that many of the young men have been shot — but she said she doesn’t worry about her own safety as she works in the area.
“I feel like I have God’s protection,” she said, adding that the young men she works with look out for her too.
“I mean, these boys, if anybody tried to harm me, oh—” she began, laughing.
She said the kids she works with often come in hardened by their circumstances, so she hugs them a lot.
“They’re good kids,” she said. “They just want to be loved, they want some support.”
When one of the boys Liette works with said he sees her as a mother, she quipped that she’s more like a grandmother.
Liette said that when she visits young people in prison who have been incarcerated for crimes, they often ask her to look after their mothers — and that gave her an idea.
She realized that many of the mothers in the neighborhood were “isolated” — they were ashamed by crimes their children had committed or they were mourning the loss of a child. So Liette decided to bring them together.
She organized regular meetings in order for neighborhood mothers to be together. She said they were “quiet” at first, but they soon became the best of friends.
Liette admitted that her work is hard and she “cries a lot on the way home.”
“There’s still a lot of good here,” she said, adding, “there’s a lot of people working together, we can’t lose hope.”
At the end of the segment, Kelly presented Liette with checks to support her ministry.
