New York's iconic St Patrick's Cathedral has claimed it was duped into holding a 'scandalous' funeral service for a transgender activist celebrated in the mass as 'the great whore'. The Catholic cathedral which bills itself as 'America's parish church' has been ordered to hold a 'mass of reparation' after hundreds of scantily-clad admirers danced in the aisles for former sex worker Cecilia Gentili. The self-proclaimed atheist died at 52 on February 6, and organizers have admitted they kept her identity 'kind of under wraps' when booking the mass with cathedral authorities. Now the cathedral pastor has issued a groveling apology...

<p>THIS ELECTION IN 2020 THERE ARE 60,000+ ~5k to all the up to 60k?</p> <p>Something is not right here. in the threads earlier today, some nevada anons posted and checked their status. sure enough their votes were "provisional". they said they brought their mail ballot with them to drop off but poll workers took it and told them to fill out the provisional instead. look at the fucking number of provisionals. i think this could have been a concerted effort to trick Trump voters into trashing their votes. provisionals are not counted if the voter never supplies the proof by the deadline. but unsuspecting people who dont know this or arent told will never do it. i think people were tricked.</p>

On Wednesday, the Russian government posted photos of President Donald Trump meeting with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak on its official Twitter accounts. This drew immediate criticism because the White House seemed to have allowed Russian state media to take photos of the meeting while excluding any American media outlets from doing the same. Now a White House official tells CNN’s Jim Acosta that the Trump administration is “furious” at the Russians for posting the photos, as they claimed they were not told beforehand that any pictures would be posted on state-run social media accounts. “They tricked us,” one official told...

Original Title:Florida Man Who Tricked Girlfriend Into Taking Abortion Pill Sentenced to Nearly 14 years in Prison A twisted Florida man was sentenced to nearly 14 years in prison for tricking his ex-girlfriend into taking an abortion pill last year and killing their 6-week old fetus. John Andrew Welden, 29, apologized Monday for his actions as a federal judge in Tampa handed down the 13 year, 8 month sentence. But his victim, former girlfriend Remee Jo Lee, demanded the judge show the calculating fiend “the same amount of mercy that he showed me during my pregnancy,” the Tampa Tribune reported....

Obama the dictator who rules America with unconstitutional executive orders, must think he is some god who can create truth from fiction. The world according to Obama is an insane asylum with the inmates running the place. Obama has gathered together a collection of people so controled by hate, lies and devisiveness, that they will believe anything the Liar in Chief says. Obama uses black magic spirits of fear and greed to poison the hearts of those he seeks to control. Has Obama bought enough souls to get him re-elected? We shall see. It is up to us to prove...

VIDEO HERE Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said people were tricked into "liar loans" that they could not afford. She uses the word "tricked" at least 3 times, and claims that all irresponsible mortgage owners were simply too stupid to know any better. Maxine Waters wouldn't answer if her husband's bank is doing principal write-offs as she is suggesting other banks are doing. She brushed off the question and said this interview is not about her husband.

[snip] As we made our trek to the small Muslim community of Walthomstow in East London, I hoped we could do something worthwhile. I wasn’t looking for something material — a big interview to break a story. I was hoping to get into the heart of the Muslim community, to find out what went wrong, to hear from the mouths of the imams themselves, and perhaps bridge some communication gaps. Would they unequivocally denounce terrorism? Would they say bad foreign policy justifies the killing of the innocent? It would be a talk from one religious person to another — a...

Representatives of an east London mosque used by several of the terror suspects reacted angrily yesterday to what they called a "sick stunt" by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News channel. Mohammed Shoyaib, the imam of the Musjid-e-Umer mosque in Walthamstow, complained that he and other elders were tricked by a representative from the cable channel, a priest who said he was working for the Vatican and wanted to talk peace. "He introduced himself as priest working in Rome," said Mr Shoyaib. "Then he said he was working for peace in the world, that all faiths should work together for peace...

As the administration on Sunday rejected assertions that President Bush misled the American people about Iraq, Democratic Sen. Joe Biden charged that history would judge the president harshly about his actions before and during the war. He said the American people are starting to "catch on" that they were at least partially "snookered and tricked," though he said that's not the administration's greatest failing. "President Bush will be judged harshly for the opportunities he squandered to unite the county and unite the world," Mr. Biden said in a speech to the Dallas Democratic Forum at the Melrose Hotel. Meantime, Stephen...

This is speculation on my part, but after conversations with several people I have come to believe that the London bombers did not know they were on a suicide mission. Here's why: 1) At least three of the four bombers had their ID cards with them, leading police directly back to their homes. 2) The bombs went off simultaneously, strongly suggesting they were set off by either timers or remote control. 3) The bombs were unusually small and light, reportedly only ten pounds. They were carried in backpacks, not vests. 4) There were no boasting videos left behind, no suicide...
