    The Young Conservatives of Texas’ “Affirmative Action Bake Off” on Wednesday was described by members as a protest to challenge the “institutionalized racism” in programs at universities across the nation. The stunt offered cookies to Asian males for $1.50 a pop, while white males coughed up $1 and black and Hispanic males were charged only 50 cents, according to the Dallas Morning news.

  • Hear U-Va.’s ‘Jackie’ testify about Rolling Stone’s gang rape story

    When Rolling Stone published a brutal account of a fraternity gang-rape at the University of Virginia, the magazine relied on the recollections of the young woman who said she was assaulted. Quoted by the nickname “Jackie,” the tale of her assault was used to exemplify the prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses and was the crux of an argument that university administrators who handle such claims can be indifferent to them. Jackie told Rolling Stone in explicit detail aspects of the night she described as the worst in her life: Sept. 28, 2012, when she said she was assaulted...

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police have arrested a man suspected of using a sledgehammer to destroy Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Officer Andrew Chambers says Jamie Otis was arrested early Thursday on suspicion of felony vandalism. Otis told several media outlets after Wednesday's pre-dawn attack that he originally intended to remove the star. He says he wanted to auction it off to raise funds for the 11 women accusing the presidential candidate of groping them.
  • Foreign Election Monitors Unhappy About 13 States’ Ban on International Observers

    (CNSNews.com) – As it prepares to observe the November 8 elections, an Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) mission already in the U.S. drew attention on Wednesday to the fact that 13 states explicitly forbid international election observation. That prohibition, it said, ran contrary to the “requirements” set down in a 1990 document drawn up by the OSCE’s precursor, the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe. “Election observer access is determined by the state or county,” the mission said in an interim report. “Eight states explicitly allow for international election observation while thirteen states explicitly forbid it...

    MCALLEN, Texas — There has been a surge of immigrants illegally crossing into the United States leading up to next month’s presidential election. CBS News reports dozens of immigrants have been streaming through the streets of McAllen, Texas, on a daily basis. They have been taken to a migrant center at Sacred Heart Catholic Church where they were released by Border Patrol, with ankle monitors, while they file for asylum. “The smugglers are telling them if Hillary [Clinton] gets elected, that there’ll be some sort of amnesty, that they need to get here by a certain date,” Cabrera said. “They’re...

    The Washington Times ^ | 10/27/2016 | Andrea Noble
    County-level Republican Party officials in several states are reporting a surge in the number of citizens signing up to be poll watchers on Election Day amid concerns over voter fraud and intimidation. At the Arizona Republican Party’s 2012 poll worker training, 50 to 60 people showed up, said spokesman Tim Sifert. This year, more than 1,000 people have signed up for training so they can be placed at polls to serve as observers. “It’s been more than 10 times the number of people who are interested this time around,” he said. Mr. Sifert attributes the surge in interest among Arizona...

    Former Bill Clinton operative turned Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopoulos grilled Donald Trump about his campaign against the wife of his old boss. The businessman brought up Stephanopoulos’s shady connections, including $75,000 in secret donations to the Clinton Foundation. The journalist demanded, “When you look back over the sweep of this campaign going back to last June is there anything you regret?” Trump shot back: “I'd love to have done, in life, certain things over I guess. And you would have too.” The candidate added, “You would love to have not contributed to the Clinton Foundation as an example....

    The American Mirror ^ | 10/27/2016 | Geordie Barrington
    Hillary Clinton appeared to stumble or nearly miss a step as she boarded her campaign plane on Thursday. Clinton was flying to a rally in Winston Salem, North Carolina when she boarded in rainy weather. From the time she departed her motorcade van, which was positioned right at the bottom of the stairs, all the way to the top of the steps, she appeared to be wobbly and unsteady, and laboring during the trek. Maybe it was because she had the extra -- arduous -- task of carrying an umbrella? Live Satellite News, which posted the video, noted she was...
  • 'Ab ki baar, Trump sarkar', says Donald's Modi-fied ad campaign

    PTI, Rediff.com ^ | Thursday, October 27, 2016 | Lalit K. Jha
    In a bid to woo Indian-Americans, Donald Trump has borrowed from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's winning slogan of the 2014 general elections as the Republican presidential nominee is seen in a TV ad saying "Ab Ki Baar Trump Sarkaar" (This time, Trump government) . This is the first time that a US presidential candidate has specifically targeted the Indian-American vote bank. The new advertisement shows the 70-year-old reality TV star adapting BJP's catchy election slogan of the 2014 polls "Ab Ki baar, Modi Sarkaar". Indian-Americans are traditionally supporters of the Democratic Party and Trump's move is seen as an effort...

  • Will Obama pardon Hillary?

    10/27/2016 9:36:53 AM PDT · by detective · 148 replies
    I spoke to someone yesterday who is very linked in with the political powers that be. She is usually right in what she says. Her predictions almost always turn out to be true. She said there is a very strong chance that Obama will give Hillary Clinton a complete and unconditional pardon before leaving office. She says the attorneys are already working on the wording to make sure it is all encompassing and completely irreversible. She is a very honest and moral woman. What do you think? Any information on this?

    Hah-Hah! This was terrific!UK Daily Mail columnist Katie Hopkins went on CNN and TRASHED their biased anti-Trump reporting: Katie Hopkins: I think he’s going to win. I think you guys are in for a big surprise which I am quite excited about. I think we have seen a very similar thing here in the UK with Brexit. We saw a lot of the liberal press kind of sneering at Brexiteers. We see a lot of the sneering that we’re seeing from the Clinton News Network.CNN host: That’s CNN, you’re calling us the Clinton News Network.Katie Hopkins: That’s exactly correct.CNN host:...
