Not From The Onion: Media Is Rigging Election For Trump By Reporting WikiLeaks Emails

Reaction from the PEW Research Center

Not surprising, considering:

PEW Charitable Trusts

Via The Hill:

Republican nominee Donald Trump has claimed that the media is rigging this election against him.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The media has made Donald Trump. Without the media, Trump would be nowhere in this election. The real rigging by the media is their shameless reporting on documents illegally leaked by the Russians to influence our election in Donald Trump’s favor.

Trump is a creation of the media. He has expertly played the media in this campaign, gaining vastly more coverage than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. He even received some 20 minutes of free coverage when the media covered a purported announcement about his claim that President Obama was not born in the United States.

Trump spent about 30 seconds on the birther issue and the rest of the coverage amounted to about $1 million dollars’ worth of free media advertising for his campaign and, incidentally, his new hotel as well.

According to the TV News Archive, Trump has received about twice as many television mentions as Clinton: 1.1 million for Trump as compared to 571,485 for Clinton.

The American people are fully aware of this disparity in coverage. A Pew Research poll found that 53 percent of respondents believe that Trump is getting too much media coverage, compared to 34 percent who believe that Clinton is getting too much coverage.

Beyond this vast disparity in coverage, the media is rigging this election in favor of Trump by swallowing hook, line and sinker Russia’s efforts to boost his campaign.[…]

So far, leakers linked to the Russians have released tens of thousands of Democratic documents and zero Republican documents.

You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out whom the Russians are attempting to elect this year.

Congress: 'U.S. Attorney General Lynch 'Pleads Fifth' On Secret Iran 'Ransom' Payments'

weaselzippers

This whole "Most Transparent Administration Ever" will go down in History as the Right Against Self Incrimination Administration.

Gee, why would she fail to cooperate….

Via Free Beacon:

Attorney General Loretta Lynch is declining to comply with an investigation by leading members of Congress about the Obama administration’s secret efforts to send Iran $1.7 billion in cash earlier this year, prompting accusations that Lynch has “pleaded the Fifth” Amendment to avoid incriminating herself over these payments, according to lawmakers and communications exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) and Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.) initially presented Lynch in October with a series of questions about how the cash payment to Iran was approved and delivered.

In an Oct. 24 response, Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik responded on Lynch’s behalf, refusing to answer the questions and informing the lawmakers that they are barred from publicly disclosing any details about the cash payment, which was bound up in a ransom deal aimed at freeing several American hostages from Iran.

The response from the attorney general’s office is “unacceptable” and provides evidence that Lynch has chosen to “essentially plead the fifth and refuse to respond to inquiries regarding [her] role in providing cash to the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism,” Rubio and Pompeo wrote on Friday in a follow-up letter to Lynch, according to a copy obtained by the Free Beacon.

ISIS Kills 250 Kids In Dough Kneader, Burns Adults Alive

New York Post

ISIS barbarians used an industrial dough kneader to kill 250 children, and roasted adults in a bakery oven, according to a shocking new report.

In an interview with the humanitarian organization Roads of Success, Syrian mom Alice Assaf went into chilling detail about the atrocities the jihadists committed about two years ago in the town of Douma, explaining that some of the youngsters were even decapitated in front of their parents, according to the Express. 

“We heard that the militants grabbed six strong men working at the bakery and burned them inside the oven. We knew them,” Assaf told Dr. Yvette Isaac, who works for the advocacy group, according to the UK Mirror.

“After that, they caught some 250 kids and kneaded them like dough in the bakery dough machine,” Assaf said, according to media reports. “They were put in the dough mixer, they were kneaded. The oldest one of them was four-years-old.”

It's Gruber, (Obamacare Architect) He's BAAACK! "Obamacare Working As Intended, We Need A Larger Mandate Penalty"

weaselzippers

Haven’t heard from this goober in quite some time and now he pops up to tell more lies. Yes, Obamacare is imploding and yes, it is working as intended by (1) destroying the private healthcare industry and (2) propelling us toward a “single payer” system of healthcare.

Via Breitbart:

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” MIT Economics Professor and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber argued that “The law is working as designed. However, it could work better. And I think probably the most important thing experts would agree on is that, we need a larger mandate penalty.”

Gruber said, “Obamacare’s not imploding. The main goal of Obamacare was two-fold. One was to cover the uninsured, of which we’ve covered 20 million, the largest expansion in american history. The other was to fix broken insurance markets where insurors could deny people insurance just because they were sick or they had been sick. Those have been fixed, and for the vast majority of Americans, costs in those markets have come down, thanks to the subsidies made available under Obamacare.”

When asked about the 22% Obamacare premium increases, Gruber stated, “the 22% increase, let’s remember who that applies to. That applies to a very small fraction of people, who have to buy insurance without the subsidies that are available. 85% of people buying insurance on the exchanges get subsidies. And for those people, this premium increase doesn’t affect them. Now, for those remaining people, that is a problem, and that’s something that we need to address, but it’s not a crisis. It doesn’t mean the system’s collapsing. And most importantly, it doesn’t affect the 150 million Americans who get employer insurance, who have actually seen their premiums fall dramatically, relative to what was expected before Obamacare.”

Gruber later stated that there was “no sense in which” the law “has to be fixed. The law is working as designed. However, it could work better. And I think probably the most important thing experts would agree on is that, we need a larger mandate penalty. We have individuals who are essentially free-riding on the system, they’re essentially waiting until they get sick and then getting health insurance. The whole idea of this plan, which was pioneered in Massachusetts, was that the individual mandate penalty would bring those people into the system and have them participate. The penalty right now is probably too low, and that’s something I think ideally we would fix.”

Anti Trump Violence Sweeping The Nation, Media Pays Little Attention

weaselzippers

Imagine the media outcry if the attackers were conservatives.

Via Lifezette:

While the mainstream media has been working day and night promoting Hillary Clinton’s candidacy, it has largely ignored or downplayed violent attacks against supporters of Donald Trump.

But assaults on Trump supporters appear to be growing increasingly common as Election Day approaches and tensions intensify. Reports of Trump lawn signs and banners being stolen and defaced are everywhere on social media.

Making matters worse, undercover video evidence emerged showing senior Democrat operatives Robert Creamer and Scott Foval acknowledging using dirty, likely illegal tricks against the Trump campaign. Their goal was to generate negative media coverage of Trump rallies by fomenting violence at them. The media eagerly used the various fisticuffs and melees the Democrats created to attempt to discredit Trump by depicting his supporters as violent, knuckle-dragging crazies.

The videos, shot by ACORN slayer James O’Keefe’s group Project Veritas Action, show Foval on camera saying his agents “infiltrate” Trump events. “It doesn’t matter what the friggin’ legal and ethics people say, we need to win this motherf****er.” He adds, “we’re starting anarchy here.”

Creamer, previously convicted of felony bank fraud, has visited the Obama White House more than 300 times. In one of the videos, he says Hillary Clinton personally knows about the false flag operation. Her campaign “is fully in it,” Creamer confirms. “Hillary knows through the chain of command what’s going on.”

Despite their aversion to covering stories that put Trump in a sympathetic light, members of the media had no choice but to cover the extremely newsworthy Oct. 15 weekend firebombing of Republican Party headquarters in Orange County, North Carolina. Gov. Pat McCrory called the arson “an attack on our democracy,” while one GOP official called it an act of “political terrorism.” Spray-painted on the building next door were a swastika and the sentence “Nazi Republicans get out of town or else.”

Christian Immigrants Threatened With Beheading For Being Unbelievers By Muslim Refugees In Germany

weaselzippers

Via Express:

Christians living in a migrant centre in Rotenburg, central Germany, are facing death threats and ‘sentencing’ by unofficial Sharia council, according to a shocking study released by the Christian persecution charity.

In one horrifying case, a Christian migrant returned from church to find a notice in one of the rooms saying: “To all Muslims: now is the time to behead the unbelievers.”

Christians were forced to flee the camp in a desperate bid to avoid an attack, according to research by Open Doors.

One Iranian recalled the terrifying moment she heard a group of men shouting: “Whoever finds an Iranian woman today may rape and killer her. Kill them all.

“You may kill and rape them. You can do it, everywhere. Wherever you find them, you may do that.”

German Students Forced To Memorize Koran, Chant 'Allahu Akbar'

weaselzippers

Shockingly, parents had a problem with this.

Via Express:

The father of the pupil at the girl’s primary school in German ski resort Garmisch-Partenkirchen discovered that his daughter had been forced to learn the Islamic prayer when he discovered a handout she had been given.

He claimed she had been “forced” by teachers to memorise the Islamic chants and forwarded the handout to Austrian news service unsertirol24.

The handout read: “Oh Allah, how perfect you are and praise be to you. Blessed is your name, and exalted is your majesty. There is no God but you.”

It had been given to the girl during a lesson in “ethics” at the Bavarian school.

Headteacher Gisela Herl did not confirm the incident when questioned, but said the school would issue a written statement detailing its position in the coming week.

The incident comes just weeks after parents complained to German newspaper Hessian Niedersächsische Allgemeine (HNA) that their children’s nursery was refusing to acknowledge “Christmas rituals” to accommodate the “diverse cultures” of other pupils.

The Sara Nussbaum House daycare centre in Kassel refused to put up a Christmas tree, tell Christmas stories or celebrate Christmas in general because it said only a minority of pupils were Christian.

Syrian Refugee Demands All Signs In Europe Be Written In Arabic

weaselzippers

No.

Via Breitbart:

 Syrian migrant teen has demanded that all signs and products in Europe should be labelled in Arabic to make migrants feel more welcome.

Aras Bacho moved to Germany from Syria five years ago and while only 18 has become a regular columnist in migrant issues across German media.

“Of course everything in Europe should be in Arabic for refugees,” Bacho wrote in the German edition of The Huffington Post. Claiming that he finds it “sad” that many migrants can live in a country like Germany for years, or even decades, without ever learning German, he says that integration is difficult due to the language barrier.

“I, as a refugee, think that inscriptions on street signs in Europe should be translated into Arabic. Equally,  food packaging should be in Arabic. It should also be possible to take tests in Arabic,” he wrote.

According to Bacho, if everything were in Arabic then migrants who have passed their driving licence would find it easier to drive in Germany, they would “understand the law more quickly”, and be able to enter the labour market if Germans spoke and wrote Arabic, rather than German.

Thank You Breitbart and Zip.

Clinton Headlined Fundraiser For Campaign Group Which Gave $500,000 to Wife Of FBI Official Investigating Her Emails

dailymail
By ALANA GOODMAN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

• DailyMail.com reveals just how closely linked Clinton is to PAC which gave massive donation to Virginia politician married to FBI deputy director
• Common Good VA gave $500,000 to Jill McCabe whose husband Andrew ran probe into Clinton's secret server which ended with no prosecution
• PAC is controlled by Terry McAuliffe, Virginia governor and Clinton ultra-loyalist - and Hillary headlined fundraiser just before it gave McCabe cash 
•  On top of that series of Clinton powerhouses have been on payroll of PAC including Robby Mook, her campaign manager
• And Clinton family financiers poured cash into its coffers, including Doug Band, who was Bill Clinton's closest aide
• McCabe denies conflict of interest but one group said of $500,000 donation: 'It looks like a payoff.'
• Campaign won't say if Clinton met Jill McCabe at fundraiser 

Hillary Clinton headlined a major fundraiser for a political action committee shortly before the group steered nearly $500,000 to the wife of the FBI official who oversaw the Clinton email investigation, DailyMail.com has learned.

Clinton's ties to the Common Good VA - a Virginia state PAC run by Clinton's long-time friend and advisor Terry McAuliffe, its governor - came under scrutiny this week after the Wall Street Journal reported that the group donated heavily to the state senate campaign of Jill McCabe.

Her husband Andrew McCabe led the FBI investigation into Clinton's emails.

Andrew McCabe, now the deputy director of the FBI, told the Wall Street Journal that he complied with federal ethics rules and was not promoted to lead the Clinton probe until months after his wife's unsuccessful state senate bid ended.

So close: Hillary Clinton headlines a fundraiser for the Common Good VA and walks on stage with Terry McAuliffe, the Virginia governor who controls its cash. That month it started channeling money to Jill McCabe's campaign

Show me the money: Clinton was used to get donors to have over cash to Common Good VA - and then it handed it to the FBI boss's wife's campaign

     

But Republicans said the large payments from McAuliffe's PAC to Jill McCabe raise questions about the impartiality of the FBI's investigation, which determined that Clinton and her aides did not violate any laws while using a private email server to conduct government business. 

 Common Good VA was the largest single donor to Jill McCabe's campaign, election records show, giving her $467,000 between June and October of 2015. 

She was the third-largest recipient of money from the group, which can only contribute to Virginia state candidates. 

Her campaign also received an additional $207,788 from the Democratic Party of Virginia, a group over which McAuliffe exerts significant control. Combined, the money made up nearly one-third of her total funding. 

McAuliffe has been a Clinton insider for decades, working for them as a fundraiser, a top aide, and a board member at the Clinton Foundation. He also chaired Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.

France Tells Migrants To Forget About Ever Going Back To 'Calais Jungle' Camp

weaselzippers

Via Reuters:

Bulldozers cleared mounds of debris and demolished makeshift shelters in the “Jungle” migrant camp on Thursday, and French authorities said more than 6,000 people had been evacuated from the squalid site.

Charities said hundreds of migrants might have fled the camp rather than take part in a program to rehouse them in towns across the country.

A Reuters reporter on Thursday saw dozens of migrants, including children, still in the western part of the camp, where the dismantling had not yet started.

The Jungle, a ramshackle, overcrowded shanty town, came to symbolize Europe’s difficulty in dealing with record inflows of migrants from impoverished and wartorn regions of Africa, the Middle East and Asia, many of them bent on crossing the sea from Calais to Britain.

Socialist President Francois Hollande, facing an election six months from now, decided under local pressure to close the Jungle and relocate its inhabitants in towns and villages throughout the country pending examination of their cases.

“By next Monday, the camp will be no more. It is already gone but the (demolition) job will be finished by Monday evening,” local government prefect Fabienne Buccio told reporters as earthmovers flattened the camp, where the evacuation started on Monday.

She said more than 6,000 migrants had signed up to be taken to other parts of the country as planned, and that matched the number of people who had been living there.

One high-ranking local official, speaking on condition that he not be identified, said the camp was not totally empty.

Antidepressant Use Linked To Dementia

madinamerica

By

 Marta PagánOrtiz

October 25, 2016

The authors of a study published in Alzheimer Disease and Associated Disorders found that elderly individuals using antidepressants were at significantly higher risk for dementia when compared with both depressed and not depressed nonusers. The study, which is one of the few long-term studies focusing on associations between antidepressants and dementia, followed a large group of participants for up to 18 years.

“In this elderly primary care patient cohort, we found that SSRIs users were at significantly higher risk for incident dementia when compared with not depressed nonusers and also when compared with nonusers with depression. Patients who were taking non-SSRIs also showed significantly higher risk for incident dementia when compared with nonusers without depression.”

Antidepressants, including selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRI), are commonly prescribed drugs in the U.S. Despite studies that have suggested these could haveneuroprotective effects and that they can improve cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer’s dementia, these results are not consistent. Studies conducted with different populations have also found conflicting results with some finding that older antidepressants were associated with a reduced rate of dementia and others have found antidepressant use associated with cognitive impairment. Further, as the authors, led by Dr. Chenkun Wang, point out, elderly individuals are often underrepresented in clinical trials, therefore little is known about this antidepressant use in this population, particularly those with unimpaired cognitive functioning.

Over a span of two years (i.e. 1991-1993) 3,688 patients from a private care practice were enrolled in the study and included in the analysis – all of whom were 60 years of age or older. The researchers used medical history information from inpatient, outpatient, and emergency room records. Among the data retrieved were diagnoses of depression and dementia. Data regarding their antidepressant medication prescription and dispersal was also retrieved from their electronic medical record. Patients were divided into 5 groups:

• Prescribed only SSRIs
• Prescribed only non-SSRIs anti-depressants
• Prescribed mixed anti-depressants (non-SSRIs & SSRIs)
• Participants diagnosed with depression but not prescribed antidepressants (nonusers with depression)
• Participants diagnosed who were not diagnosed with depression nor received antidepressants (nonusers without depression)

Results revealed that participants who were on SSRIs or non-SSRI antidepressants had a higher risk of dementia than the individuals diagnosed with depression who were not prescribed antidepressants. In addition, those who were on either type of antidepressant were at a higher risk of dementia than nonusers without depression.

Despite the limitations of the study, which include prescribing bias (e.g. doctors prescribing SSRIs to adults with cognitive impairments) and lack of depression and dementia severity measures, this is not the only study to yield these associations. A recent article on Medscapereporting on SSRIs and sleep disruption found that these antidepressants could cause significant sleep problems in the elderly, which could contribute to neurodegeneration leading to dementia. The authors of the study, which was presented at the Institute of Psychiatric Services: The Mental Health Services 2016 Conference, warn against ignoring sleep issues and side-effects of SSRIs and reiterate the importance of psychotherapy and holistic alternatives for elderly populations.

Syrian Refugee With 4 Wives and 23 Children Claims Almost $400,000 A Year In German Welfare Benefits

weaselzippers

It would appear that Mr. Ghazia and his harem are taking full advantage of that “Fatherland” idea. Somebody find that guy a job.

Via UK Express:

A SYRIAN refugee with four wives and 23 children has sparked outrage after it was claimed he was receiving a staggering £320,000 a year in benefits.

The migrant, known only as Ghazia A, fled Syria last year along with his family.

He has since resettled in Germany with his four wives and 22 of his children. One of his daughters has since moved to Saudi Arabia where she has married.

The family could be receiving more than £320,000 a year in benefits according to a financial manager on the Employers’ Association website.

There is no official confirmation on this figure.

Under Islamic tradition, the 49-year-old can have up to four wives – as long as he can support them financially.

Germany does not legally recognise polygamy, meaning that Ghazia A was forced to choose a “main wife” so the rest of the family could claim benefits. The other three wives are categorised as “friends” of the Syrian migrant.

But a local official in the town of Montabaur described the situation as an “exemption”.

Ghazia A now lives with his “main” wife Twasif and their five children in Montabaur, in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate – while the other three wives and children have been moved into neighbouring communities up to 31 miles away.

The man used to work in a garage and car hire service in his homeland but has not worked since resettling in Germany.

He expressed an interest in working again but noted his commitments to his family made this difficult.

He told German newspaper Bild: “In our religion it is my duty to visit every family and to be with them.”

ISIS Deep Fries Own Members In Oil Pit For Fleeing Battlefield

weaselzippers

Via Daily Star:

It has emerged that ISIS are not just burning oil pits to obscure war planes as they prepare for a bloody showdown with Iraqi forces – they are also using them to FRY their own men, it has been alleged.

It appears militants who chickened out at the last minute in Mosul are facing a far worse fate as the terror cult refuses to take any prisoners.

It has killed at least nine of its own for fleeing the battles, according to state media.

The men were hurled into trenches full of burning oil while still alive.

Al Sumaria News stated: “ISIS terrorist gangs executed nine of its members for fleeing the battle against the security forces in Mosul, by throwing them in trenches containing a burning oil, after tying their hands and legs.”

The trenches are also part of a plot to foil Iraqi troops and coalition forces – rumoured to include UK special forces – who are gaining ground.

Thank You Zip and Daily Star.
