Asylum seekers flying from Nigeria and the Congo to Latin America, then seeking refuge in U.S. How is this happening?


al ReutersU.S. dream pulls African migrants in record numbers across Latin America.
Marilyne Tatang, 23, crossed nine borders in two months to reach Mexico from the West African nation of Cameroon, fleeing political violence after police torched her house, she said.
[.]
...a record number of fellow Africans are flying to South America and then traversing thousands of miles of highway and a treacherous tropical rainforest to reach the United States.

Tatang, who is eight months pregnant, took a raft across a river into Mexico on June 8, a day after Mexico struck a deal with U.S. President Donald Trump to do more to control the biggest flows of migrants heading north to the U.S. border in more than a decade.
[.]
The number of Africans registered by Mexican authorities tripled in the first four months of 2019 compared with the same period a year ago, reaching about 1,900 people, mostly from Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)[.]
[.]
Political volatility in Cameroon and the DRC in recent years has displaced hundreds of thousands of people.

People from the DRC made up the third largest group of new refugees globally last year with about 123,000 people, according to the U.N. Refugee Agency, while Cameroon’s internally displaced population grew by 447,000 people.

The number of undocumented African migrants found by authorities in Mexico quadrupled compared to five years ago, reaching nearly 3,000 people in 2018.
[.]
Most obtain a visa that allows them free passage through Mexico for 20 days, after which they cross into the United States and ask for asylum.

Few choose to seek asylum in Mexico, in part because they don’t speak Spanish.
Is this massive influx the work of the Soros and Gobalist Cabal? It's time to close the border until the U.S. can construct the proper infrastructure and a manner in how to deal with who wants to immigrate here, and a thorough vetting of their background and identities. A background check no less thorough than the idealized version of the DEMS background check for legal, law-abiding, gun-purchasing American citizens.

Jeff Epstein indictment scheduled to be unsealed at 9AM EST on Monday July 8.


Joe Nocera Tweets:





How can Comey's daughter not recuse herself from this case? With Comey's relationship to the Clintons, and the Clintons to Epstein AND Robert Mueller? Does anyone think there'd be an uproar if someone with the last name of Trump was part of the prosecutor's team?

Ken Jones Tweets clients in Epstein's Book:
Epstein’s Little Black Book: Alec Baldwin, Duke of York, Dustin Hoffman, Mick Jagger, Kissinger, Ted Kennedy, Evelyn de Rothschild, Cheryl Mills, Kevin Spacey, Peter Soros, Maria Shriver, David Rockefeller, John Kerry...


And then there's the below, published September 20, 2009, which I found at You Tube (Advisory for video, NSFW - subject matter):

Nivea "Don't Do Gay".


A member of Nivea's longtime advertising agency says the skincare brand balked at an image of two men touching hands.

FCB, one of the largest advertising agencies in the world, has parted ways with Nivea, amid allegations the skincare brand rejected an image of two men touching hands.

According to Ad Age, an openly gay FCB creative on the call said a rep from the client told the team, "we don't do gay at Nivea."

In an internal memo, FCB announced it was terminating its global Nivea account at the end of 2019, when contracts expire.

Founded in Germany in 1882, Nivea is part of Hamburg-based Beiersdorf Global AG, which also makes Eucerin, La Prairie and Hansaplast. According to the memo, written by FCB Global CEO Carter Murray, those other brands will remain with the agency.

FCB's relationship with Nivea goes back more than a century, according to Ad Age, but tensions have been escalating for the past few years.

"There comes a point in every longterm relationship when you reflect on what you've accomplished together and set your sails for where your journey will take you next," Murray wrote. "Sometimes that journey ahead demands tough choices that lead down different paths."

He added that the decision followed "much reflection and discussion on our creative ambitions."

Accusations of homophobia have damaged international brands in the past: In a 2013 radio interview, Barilla pasta chair Guido Barilla declared, "I would never do a commercial with a homosexual family. Not for lack of respect, but because we don't agree with them." Adding that he opposed adoption by gay parents, Barilla said if LGBTQ customers didn't like his view, they could go buy another brand of pasta.

The announcement led to calls for boycotts and the removal of Barilla products from Harvard dining halls.

"I was concerned about the market share, but I was much more worried about people perceiving Barilla as an out-of-date brand," CEO Claudio Colzani told Bloomberg.

To address the controversy, Barilla unveiled a limited edition box of its Spaghetti No. 5, showing two women with a single strand of pasta between their lips, a la Lady & The Tramp. The company also introduced a Diversity & Inclusion Board, hired LGBTQ advocate David Mixner as a consultant and made contributions to LGBTQ nonprofits.

By 2014, Barilla received high marks on HRC's corporate equality index.

Barilla "introduced a Diversity & Inclusion Board, hired a LGBTQ advocate and made contributions to LGBTQ non-profits." Extortion by boycott, basically? 

I guess we have to base our purchasing now not on whether or not we like the product, but on whether or not the manufacturer is rated highly by the HRC's equality index.


Who's "preachy" and "intolerant" now? The community that feigns to be against bullying and claims inclusiveness for all. How times have changed.

Some soccer team won something.

Terry Bean, Gay rights activist, 66, who raised $500,000 for Obama's re-election campaign indicted for 'sexually abusing 15-year-old boy' with his boyfriend in a hotel.


* Terry Bean, 66, co-founded Human Rights Campaign and Gay And Lesbian Victory Fund before putting more than $500,000 behind Obama in 2012
* He has been charged with 2 counts of sodomy and 1 count of sex abuse
* Boyfriend, 25, also charged with abusing the 15-year-old boy in Oregon
* Lawyer claims Bean is a victim of an 'extortion ring', he has been bailed
A high profile gay rights activist and Democrat fundraiser has been charged with sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy with his boyfriend.

Terry Bean, 66, co-founded two of the biggest national campaign groups and raised more than $500,000 for Barack Obama's 2012 re-election bid.

He was arrested at his home in southwest Portland on Wednesday and indicted with two counts of third-degree sodomy and one count of third-degree sex abuse.

The alleged incident involved a sexual encounter with a 15-year-old boy in 2013 in Eugene, Oregon, police said.

His ex-boyfriend, Kiah Loy Lawson, 25, was also arrested and charged, according to USA Today.

Bean is a revered character among the gay rights activist community and with the Democratic Party, Oregon Live reports.

He helped to form the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay And Lesbian Victory Fund.

The trained broker was forced to defend himself earlier this year after his co-accused, Lawson, revealed Bean secretly filmed their sexual encounters.

[His lawyer Kristin] Winemiller released this statement: 'Terry Bean is a highly respected community leader who has devoted his life to bettering our community.

'Over the course of several months in 2013-2014 Terry was the victim of an extortion ring led by several men known to law enforcement.
Ahhh, the good old, "Extortion-defense ploy." No one saw that coming. Maybe those secretly filmed encounters will prove Bean and Lawson are, beyond a reasonable doubt, not guilty. Then again, Maybe Not.

"Terry Bean is a highly respected community leader..." - - yeah - - the same community also considers Ed Buck a, "highly respected community leader." Of course these are people held in high respect; depravity is the "Respect" The Left admires.

Meanwhile, in Nigeria...school principal allegedly molests muslim students using (wearing) Hijab. "Gun-weilding security guards" bar parents from entering.

Unsure how to interpret the wording in this headline and story with their intent using the words "molests" and "molested". Nothing in the story suggests actual "molestation". The story states, "physical abuse" but doesn't define it. Rather than the literal interpretation of "molest", it doesn't appear to fall within the strict definition of inappropriate physical abuse or psychological trauma.

The Guardian: U.I. school principal allegedly molests muslim students using Hijab:
Some students of International School Ibadan (ISI) were yesterday molested and humiliated for adorning hijab (Muslim headscarf) with their school uniform.
  
The ISI Muslim Parents Forum, who bemoaned this act[.]
[.]
A parent, Idris Badaru, narrated his experience, “I took my children to school and parked under the shade beside Idia Hall at about 8.00 am and noticed a small crowd of students gathered about 80 metres or thereabout away from the school gate. My children promptly informed me that accounts was checking payment clearance before allowing them in.
  
“After checking my daughter’s clearance, the security man and Mr. Odewale of the Accounts section were issuing some instructions, which my daughter was not happy with. I moved closer and learnt that they wanted my daughter to remove her hijab before walking into the gate and she refused. I felt enraged as any reasonable man would when his daughter’s honour is violated. Moreover, that space belongs to the University of Ibadan, a Federal institution”.

This was corroborated by two other parents who said that the security personnel of UI under the leadership of the Chief Security officer, carried out the directives of the Principal and were physically assaulting Muslim girls adorning hijabs.  
  
All efforts by the Muslim Parents Forum representatives to see the Principal or Vice Principal proved abortive as gun-wielding security operatives said they were under instructions not to allow any parent in. ["]

Jeb Bush Tweet of the Week (Fake/Satire)

Biden can't tell time.


Joe Biden's history of smacking people in the mouth? We need confirmation and substantiation on this. Who got smacked by Joe? Step forward, please.


Washington Examiner: Joe Biden compares Trump to bullies he would 'smack' in the mouth.
2020 front-runner Joe Biden compared President Trump to a bully he'd "smack" in the mouth, in a Friday morning interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo.
[.]
[Trump is] the bully that I knew my whole life," Biden stated.

"He’s the bully that I’ve always stood up to. He’s the bully that used to make fun when I was a kid that I stutter, and I’d smack them in the mouth," the former vice president added.
Time for every bully that got smacked in the mouth by Toxic Masculinity Joe to come forward and confirm that they were assaulted by Creepy Joe. If not...he continues a lifetime of inventing stories. Yet no reporter or anyone in the MSM asks him about the below pic.

Still, no one in the MSM asks Joe about this photo.

Toxic Caterpillars invade Germany.


In the city of Münster, six people had to have eye operations to remove caterpillar hair that got stuck in their corneas. In Mülheim, nine children were taken to a hospital last month after suffering rashes and breathing problems during a sports day.

It’s terrible everywhere,” Thomas Schwolow, an administrator in the municipality of Issum, where numerous trees have been affected, told Rheinische Post. “It would be great if it would rain so that at least all the hair on the leaves and in the air could be washed away,” he added.
[.]
Near Hamburg in northern Germany, parts of the A1 motorway were closed for three nights in May so firefighters could tackle infected trees. Authorities were concerned that the caterpillar’s hairs, which are almost invisible, could affect the health of drivers and local residents.

Four big cats mauled to death a world famous tiger tamer as he prepared for a show at a circus in Italy.

Ettore Weber, 61, was mauled to death at the Circo Orfei - Italy's best-known circus - during a training session in Triggiano, a small town in the Puglia region.

Weber was rehearsing for his act when one of the tigers knocked him down before the other three pounced on him and mauled him to death, the Daily Mail reported.

Cher falls for fake news. Tweets satire as real; a dig at Trump.

The Widow Bono Cher Tweets:


It is a story.

The story appears at a site called Reductress. Read it, it's funny.

What is Reductress? This is Reductress.


The Widow Bono Cher didn't bother to check if the story was accurate. How long did it take me to search Reductress and find out it's a satire site? Maybe two seconds. 

Why would The Widow Bono Cher Tweet this? She assumed it was true and, I'm guessing, The Widow Bono's Cher's motive behind her Tweet is that this (fictional) woman died because of the cost of insulin and that, of course, is the fault of President Donald Trump.

"In 2012, a vial of Humalog insulin was priced at $130. By 2016, the same vial was priced at $255. Coincidentally, during that time patients' costs for insulin also doubled ", [wrote attorney and Type 1 diabetic Laura Marston on Twitter, in response to the report.]
During 2012 to 2016 the person in the White House was acting President Barack Obama. The Widow Bono Cher must not remember this. None of us are getting any younger, I guess. 'Membering is hard.

How many read her Tweet, maybe clicked on the link, glanced at the Reductress story and believed it? And then they passed it onto others, who also believed it true, because, "The Widow Bono Cher Tweeted it,"? How could anyone read the Reducturess story and believe it? It's so over-the-top. Someone said, never overestimate the intelligence of a Liberal.

The Widow Bono Cher PWND by Fake News; rather, satire. Isn't she one of the Vocal Left who decries 'Fake News' that is anything supportive of President Trump?

There was that one time where she said "'L.A. is my city'," and it can't take care of any more immigrants.

Ilhan Omar's carefully worded statement about Border Partol agents: "Eliminate" them.

Radical DEM Ilhan Omar, Rep. MN

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has called for “eliminating” Border Patrol officers because of their views towards black and brown people despite the fact that 51% of CPB agents are Latino.

The comments were made during an appearance on BET’s Black Coffee show.
[.]
According to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP), over half of agents who guard the borders between the U.S. and Mexico and the U.S. and Canada are Hispanic. That number is from 2008, so it’s probably even higher now.

To portray CBP agents as some kind of vanguard of white supremacy is clearly wholly inaccurate and hysterical, but that’s par for the course when it comes to Ilhan Omar.
"Eliminate" [them]. Many despots throughout history have used the same words.

California Gas Tax 6 cents more on Monday, July 1.

Uh, sorry, I slipped into BOB O'Rourke campaign mode pandering there. I'll try again: My dear Californians, fill-up on Sunday before the Socialists take more of your money.

AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli
California’s nation-leading gas prices are set to climb even higher Monday, when the state gas tax increases another 5.6 cents a gallon.

It’s the latest increase from a 2017 law designed to raise about $5 billion a year for road and mass transit programs.

A 12 cent-per-gallon boost came that November, and voters last year rejected a Republican-led effort to repeal the law. But Southern California voters did recall one Democratic lawmaker who helped pass the measure.

California motorists were paying an average $3.75 per gallon as of late June, far above the national average of $2.71 calculated by AAA .

The gas tax will increase to 47.3 cents a gallon July 1, according to the state Board of Equalization, and continue to increase indefinitely starting next year to keep up with the California Consumer Price Index.
Fret not, for I am sure, the additional tax revenue will be judiciously spent and the returns and impact from this investment will immediately benefit all of the taxpayers and welcomed immigrants in Cali.

Kimmy accepts Trump's invite for DMZ meeting.

The National: North Korea's Kim Jong Un accepts Donald Trump's invitation for meeting at DMZ:
President Donald Trump will meet on Sunday with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un at the demilitarised zone separating the North and South, a day after he issued an unprecedented invitation and expressed willingness to cross the border for what would be a history-making photo op.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in announced that Mr Kim accepted Mr Trump’s invitation to meet when the US president visits the heavily fortified site at the Korean border village of Panmunjom.

Mr Moon praised the two leaders for “being so brave” to hold the meeting and said: “I hope President Trump will go down in history as the president who achieves peace on Korean Peninsula.”
The Libs would be drooling like thirsty dogs or teething babies, falling all over themselves, fawning and praising Any DEM president doing what President Donald Trump is doing. Good. I'm glad the president is meeting with Kimmy, if for no other reason than it pisses of The Libs. But this is much more than that. This is a historic moment.

‘You can’t win a championship without gays’ – US Women’s World Cup star Megan Rapinoe. It's "science".

Megan Rapinoe

US women’s football star Megan Rapinoe fired her team into the World Cup semifinals with two goals against France on Friday night, before stating that “you can’t win a championship without gay players on your team.”

Fresh from a week in which she was involved in a row with President Donald Trump over her comments that she wouldn’t “go to the f*cking White House” if the US won the World Cup[.]

You can’t win a championship without gays on your team – it’s never been done before, ever. That’s science, right there,” the 33-year-old said. 

“I’m motivated by people who like me, who are fighting for the same things. I take more energy from that than from trying to prove anyone wrong. That’s draining on yourself.

“But for me, to be gay and fabulous, during Pride month at the World Cup, is nice,” she added.
[.]
Rapinoe’s claims raised some eyebrows online, in particular those of the ever-irascible UK TV personality Piers Morgan.

    Erm, yes you can.
    Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, Ms Rapinoe... football competence isn't linked to sexuality

    And in that one statement, undermines all the good work of those that have helped to support & raise LGBT awareness.
