Heartbreaker

February 20, 2017 by admin 27 Comments

CNN reported on today’s untimely death of the Russian ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Ivanovich Churkin.  The article revealed that Churkin suffered from cardiac arrest while at the Russian Mission on East 67th Street in New York, dying later at a nearby hospital.

Interpreting a Tweet from Samantha Power, former US ambassador to the UN, CNN said “she was heartbroken by Churkin’s death.”

“Heartbroken ?!”

Boy, CNN, that’s a pretty poor choice of words for describing how Ms. Power feels over his dying due to CARDIAC ARREST!

Duh.

The ICE fax not cometh

February 20, 2017 by admin 26 Comments

Fox News has reported that one of the suspects accused of killing a man at a Denver light rail station was in custody in Denver, and wanted for possible deportation by federal authorities, when he was released from jail weeks before the murder.

According to ICE officials, “At the time of his arrest, ICE placed a detainer with the Denver County Jail. The detainer wasn’t honored, and he was released by the jail Dec. 20, 2016, without notification to ICE. Valles is a known gang member whose gang history is documented in the Colorado gang database. Due to his criminal history and gang affiliation, Valles is an ICE immigration enforcement priority.”

ICE is hot over this one

In answering ICE’s allegation, a Denver Sheriff Department spokesman responded Friday night, saying “ICE was told about Valles’ release before it happened. He was released once he posted $5,000 bond.”

But a copy of the fax sent by the Denver PD, purportedly showing compliance with the ICE detainer, shows that Ever Andres Valles, 19, a citizen of Mexico, was actually released 5 minutes BEFORE the fax was sent to ICE.  (click this link)

OOPS……..

Halal Swedish Meatballs

The Swedish Chef

Once again, President Trump has provoked a media firestorm by a brief comment.  Speaking at a rally in Florida on Saturday morning, he remarked about a Friday night FoxNews piece on the causal effect between Muslim immigration and surging crime rates in Sweden.  “You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden,” Trump said. “Sweden. Who would believe this? Sweden. They took in large numbers. They’re having problems like they never thought possible.”
Trump’s reference was confusing to those who had not seen the Tucker Carlson show the night before.  Liberal media (who likely are not followers of Carlson’s hugely successful primetime FoxNews program) seized on the chance to misinterpret the remark, reporting that Trump was either inventing, or hallucinating about, a Friday night terror event in Sweden (no such thing happened).  As if on command, left-wingers online exploded in frenzied attacks on Trump, like a swarm of piranha after a swimmer.
Today, the internet roils in struggling to find the truth about the Muslim-related crime rates in Sweden, even inside Sweden itself, where the PC government cautiously downplays the subject, yet a career police officer’s post that it’s actually out of control went instantly viral.
To clear everything up, we offer this quote from the Muppets’ Swedish Chef: “Gersh gurndy morn-dee burn-dee, burn-dee, flip-flip-flip-flip-flip-flip-flip-flip-flip.”
