The UN envoy has also reported the best looking Yazidi virgins are sent to the Islamic State’s adopted capital of Raqqa in Syria where they arestripped naked and sold to the highest bidder.
Women who have managed to escape their abusive captors tell of the pain and suffering they endured under ISIS rule.
“He [the man who bought her] told me he was going to rape me that same day, however ill I made myself. He took me home, tied up my hands and feet, and raped me.
“He raped me about five times a day. My sister was barely 14 when they raped her… I could hear her screaming but I couldn’t do anything as I was tied up.”
Some of these abused women and girls have been so severely and irreparably traumatized that they have beendriven to end their own lives.
A Kurdish official recently reported that ISIS fanaticsexecuted 19 womenfor refusing to have sex with its fighters.
A Christian pastor in Turkey has been arrested. He is in great danger.
American Pastor Andrew Brunson – a U.S. citizen from North Carolina – has been falsely charged with “membership in an armed terrorist organization.” The charging documents state no “evidence has been gathered” against him. He has been a Christian pastor in Turkey for the past 23 years.
Pastor Andrew has been transferred from a detention facility to prison. During his 63-day detainment, he was denied access to his Turkish attorney.
Turkey – our NATO ally – has begun increased crackdowns on Christians. If convicted, Pastor Andrew could face years in prison based on extremely serious – and false – charges.
At the ACLJ, we’re representing the family, mobilizing our international resources – including our offices in the region – demanding Pastor Andrew’s freedom. Take action with us before it’s too late.
Two presidents; one current, one former. As water seeks its own level, so too do people ultimately settle into their comfort zone. What a difference a day makes. As a final FU to the country, Obama sent $221 million to Abbas and the Palestinian Authority. If you are worried about what he’s been doing the last three days, fear not…. he soldiers on.

Today, America gets a new First Lady. She’s beautiful – a former model! – with an impeccable wardrobe and the money to buy all the couture she wants. So why, when President Trump and his family are long out of the White House, and his administration is enshrined in the annals of history, will Michelle Obama – a woman with no connection to the fashion industry before she came into public view – be remembered as the more iconic of the two?
It’s simple. Becoming an icon is about more than just a pretty face and an international platform. YEAH, A REAL FASHION ICON
Glad to see Obama go, Gulf Arabs expect Trump to counter Iran
Saudi Arabia in particular appears relieved at the departure of Barack Obama, who it felt considered Riyadh’s alliance with Washington less important than negotiating a deal in 2015 to neutralize Iran’s nuclear program.
The relationship is a pillar of the Middle East’s security balance. But it has suffered since Riyadh took issue with what it saw as Obama’s withdrawal from the region, and a perceived inclination towards Iran since the 2011 Arab uprisings.
MEANWHILE, WHAT DID TRUMP DO HIS FIRST FULL DAY IN OFFICE? OH, NOT MUCH
Teamsters Respond to TPP Withdrawal – PRAISE TRUMP! “The Teamsters Union has been on the frontline of the fight to stop destructive trade deals like the TPP, China PNTR, CAFTA and NAFTA for decades. Millions of working men and women saw their jobs leave the country as free trade policies undermined our manufacturing industry.
We take this development as a positive sign that President Trump will continue to fulfill his campaign promises in regard to trade policy reform and instruct the USTR to negotiate future agreements that protect American workers and industry.”
AFL-CIO Praises President Trump’s Move to Withdraw from TPP, Renegotiate NAFTA, Target Big Pharma Trump’s populist appeal to American workers in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio was critical to his landslide electoral college victory, when he stunned the bi-coastal political, financial, and cultural elites in places like New York City, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles with a 306 electoral vote landslide win over Clinton on Nov. 8.

Trump Revives Reagan-Era Ban on Use of Foreign Aid for Abortion Counseling Coming as one of Mr. Trump’s first executive orders, it was likely to please the anti-abortion lobby at home. But critics say it also symbolizes the new administration’s defiance of the women’s reproductive rights movement, an important force in the weekend protest marches in Washington and other cities that followed Mr. Trump’s inauguration.
Top US Executives Rave About Productive Meeting with President Trump at White House
Top executives from several US based companies raved about President Trump and his initiatives after meeting with the President on his first day of work in the White House.
Andrew Liveris from Dow Chemical and Mark Fields from Ford Motor Company cheered President Trump for his promise to cut regulations by 75%.
Trump Wants To Cut Regulations By 75% At the time Trump was sworn in on Friday, the Federal Register contained 89,535 regulations — many of which Republicans say are outdated and duplicative. Those regulations have piled up since the government’s rulebook launched in 1935.
Trump just made a vocal opponent of today’s ‘open internet’ laws the next FCC boss While expected, the appointment aligns with signs that Trump’s FCC would roll back Obama-era policies — most notably the 2015 Open Internet Order, which set today’s net-neutrality rules.
Broadly speaking, those laws regulate the internet as a public utility. More practically, they’re meant to keep internet service providers from blocking or slowing down certain content — which could benefit services owned by an ISP itself — or forcing others to pay fees to receive preferential treatment.
Trump’s New CIA Director: “Jesus Christ Is The Only Solution For Our World” Pompeo is a well-respected figure in the national security community. He is also an army veteran, and a staunch pro-life advocate.
Two years ago, Pompeo gave a church speech where he said Muslims who think Islam is “the only way” needed to be dealt with.
“These folks believe that it is religiously driven for them to wipe Christians from the face of the earth,” he added. “They abhor Christians,” he said of a small minority among Muslims.
A feckless gaggle of useless-as-tits-on-a-boar-hog politicians gathered in Paris yesterday to basically puff about their self-importance and make a spectacle of themselves as they signed a worthless piece of paper demanding Israel accede to Hamas’ two-state solution plan, the basis of which is the annihalation of the Jewish state.
Remind you of anything?
All of this, of course, means nothing. Just one last chance for the haughty John Kerry, who served in Vietnam by the way, to swill champagne and wolf down escargot and gladhand all the other posers. In 4 more days the Obama Crime Family will be as relevant as yesterday’s newspaper. The United States will soon be guided by a man with a set of titanium juevos, not the limp-dicked con artist that has terrorized American citizens and turned the most powerful nation in history into a laughingstock on the global stage.
A Farcical ‘Peace’ Conference in Paris
Last gasp of an old era?
Translation: the “old world” insists that when it comes to Israel, the West’s role is to knuckle under to Arab and Muslim bullying, making Jerusalem the world’s only capital to be devoid of other countries’ embassies. If this “old world” is truly on the way out, it cannot disappear soon enough.
Netanyahu: Paris Peace Conference Is ‘Useless’ “I must say that this conference is among the last twitches of yesterday’s world. Tomorrow’s world will be different — and it is very near,” said Netanyahu seemingly referencing the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump in five days.

FAMILY RESEMBLANCE?
I remember what a stir this highly suggestive song created when it was released in 1976. It’s also the best I could come up with for a title on this sunny, cold Saturday afternoon.
The group began as ‘Fat City’, a husband/wife duo of Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert. The band was also composed of Jon Carroll (keyboards and vocals) and Margot Chapman (vocals). Carroll and Chapman were also married after meeting as members of the group, but later divorced.
Federal Worker Union Is Blocking Republican VA Reforms President-elect Donald Trump promised to fire incompetent and dishonest Department of Veterans Affairs employees, but he will have to fight the American Federation of Government Employees—the largest federal worker union—every step of the way.
Liberals Awake from 8-Year Moral Coma For eight years, the voices of what passes for morality on the left were utterly silent as the values of generations of Americans were flushed down the drain. Those Americans whose desires, experiences and values differed from the leftist elite were treated as worthless garbage, no longer necessary to the imminent liberal utopia, except as a source of revenue.
Rep. Duncan Hunter removes painting depicting police as pigs Rep. Duncan Hunter removed a controversial painting from a hallway which connects to the U.S. Capitol Friday.
Rep. Lacy Clay, who represents Ferguson, Missouri, sponsored the annual art competition that resulted in this painting winning first place, though he says he did not have anything to do with selecting it. Earlier this week Clay told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “Yes, some people find it offensive. I don’t find it offensive. I find it to be an expression of what one of my constituents is feeling about what he has experienced.”
Watch a Bunch of Democrats Try to Steal Our Democracy Congress officially certified Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States on Friday afternoon over the objections of Democrats.
A handful of congressional Democrats objected as electoral votes for Trump were counted, but they were unable to hold up the certification process because they did not have the support of any Senate Democrats.
Vice President Joe Biden presided and was forced to gavel the House into order numerous times as Democrats spoke over him with their objections.
At one point, Biden informed the Democrats that “It’s over,” causing House Republicans to erupt in laughter.
“We had one goal in mind: we wanted to make higher education cool,” Obama said. “We wanted to change the conversation around what it means and what it takes to get into college.
Everyone knows it’s true. If white people did this, there would be riots.
Don’t act like it’s not a fact.
At least 20 stores would’ve been looted within hours of the story breaking.
Mainstream media would be all over it.
But since it’s the other way around, you’ll probably see mainstream media try to sweep it under the rug like it was some teens doing a prank.
Conway to Cuomo: ‘Don’t Say That Again’ About Trump Sheltering Russia The most volatile moment during the segment came when Cuomo accused Trump of “sheltering Russia,” and Conway slammed back: “He’s not sheltering Russia, and don’t you say that again.”
Conway charged that this activity is “just nonsense. The idea that Team Clinton is still running around doing it, people are doing it, your network is doing it constantly, and that’s what we need to push back on.”
“We’re against any foreign government interfering in our cybersecurity,” she added, which “is woefully underserved because big problems have not been tackled sufficiently in the last eight years.”
IF IT WERE NOT FOR HIS LAST NAME HE’D BE CHANGING TIRES AT WALMART
Obama set for pardon frenzy as he leaves officeA Rastafarian prophet, a former Taliban captive and thousands of minor drug traffickers have one thing in common: Their names have been submitted to President Barack Obama for clemency before he leaves office in two weeks.
Among them is Bowe Bergdahl, a US Army sergeant held captive for five years by the Taliban before his release in a prisoner swap, who is due to be court-martialed for desertion.
Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist convicted for the 1975 deaths of two FBI agents in what his supporters say was a setup, is also hoping to enjoy Obama’s good graces.
Then there’s Edward Snowden, who made the shattering revelation in 2013 of a global communications and internet surveillance system set up by the United States.
Kerry’s plan was criticized by Israelis for focusing on settlements and giving away Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem. This week, a senior Palestinian figure rejected it for a more fundamental reason: Palestinians refuse to accept a Jewish state.
Governor Scott: “I have reached out to President-elect Trump. I have spoken to him and Vice President-elect Pence multiple times to keep them informed. And they told me any resources they need from the federal government they would do everything in their power to make that happen.”
He bypassed Obama.
Keegan-Michael Key reprised his role as President Obama’s “anger translator,” Luther, for one final goodbye on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show Thursday night as the real Obama prepares to leave office in two weeks.
“Obama is unlikely to be seen as a bad president overall, maybe not the black president many hoped for but definitely not a bad leader of the country as a whole.”
This is probably true in the hyper-racialized climate that he and his ilk have forced on us. But whether he really was “not a bad leader” is very debatable. What’s the standard?
Domestically, the economy is in the doldrums and millions of Americans are still out of work. Illegals and refugees have flooded in and are straining social services and law enforcement. Racial tension is at an all time high and the Democratic Party has gone full-on hate for Christians, Pro-Lifers, and Law Enforcement Officers.
We’ve had more Islamic terror attacks on our own soil than ever before. And while the total body count is lower than 9/11, it should be remembered that the 9/11 attack was planned during the previous Democrat president’s tenure and that it was only Bush’s strong response that prevented the planned second attack.
Abroad, Obama has involved us in more wars than any president before him. Our allies can’t stand him and our enemies laugh at him. He pulled our troops out of Iraq prematurely, allowing ISIS to swarm in, so now our troops are back there. They’re also STILL in Afghanistan. He has armed Muslim extremists and encouraged their predations. Then, while saying he “had Israel’s back”, he has actually stabbed Israel in said back.
The only good thing I can think of to say about his 8 years in office is that he isn’t as bad as I feared he would be back in 2008.
A FB friend said she didn’t think he was a bad man, just that he had a “different mind set from most Americans.” She pointed out that most people who meet him say he’s a really nice guy. I declined to engage on that topic, finding her remark to be so painfully naive and woefully uninformed that the only positive response I could make was to pray for her.
Bill Clinton is also reportedly very charming in person, yet he ruined numerous women’s lives, most famously Monica Lewinsky. I fully expect the Anti-Christ will be enormously charismatic, but it won’t mean he’s not a seriously bad man.
Barack Obama has lied to us over and over and over. His profligate spending has doubled the national debt and his health care plan has trashed our health insurance system and driven health professionals out of the business.
Those things alone would make him a crappy president in my view. Add in Benghazi, his use of federal agencies to seek out and destroy his political enemies, and his ridiculously expensive lifestyle while in office and I just can’t find a single good thing to say about him.
No wait. I can. He has a beautiful smile and looks really good in a suit. He also fostered the birth of the Tea Party and helped destroy the Democratic Party. Beyond that … I got nothing.
