    Todd Starnes  "A group of New York Muslims has taken offense at a small town’s new memorial honoring those who died in the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks.
    The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier fired off a letter to city leaders in Owego alleging that words engraved in the granite memorial would encourage hatred to Muslims.
    "The memorial, which will be dedicated on Saturday, identifies those responsible for the attacks as “Islamic terrorists.”
    "That’s a problem for the Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier, based in nearby Johnson City, NY.
    "A spokesperson told our Fox television affiliate that having the words “Islamic terrorists” on the monument is a “broad brush against the many Muslims who live in the Southern Tier.”
    “ 'They want us to change the word from ‘Islamic Terrorist’ to either ‘terrorist’ or ‘Al Qaeda terrorist,’” City Manager Donald Castelluci told me. “I sent them back an email saying I disagreed with their premise 100 percent.”
    "The entire inscription reads:

    After Abrupt Exit From Fox News, Greta’s Husband Hints at Legal Action

    Law Newz  . . . "The New York Times spoke with Greta’s husband, John P. Coale, on the phone, and pay attention to this key section:
    greta-300x196-650x425-300x196Ms. Van Susteren’s husband, John P. Coale, said in a phone interview on Tuesday that his wife exercised what is known as “key man clause’’ on Friday, which allowed her to leave if Mr. Ailes was not in control.
    He said, “There’s so much chaos, it’s very hard to work there.” He said the timing of her departure with the announcement of the settlement with Ms. Carlson was a “coincidence.”
    Asked about why she had exercised the key man clause, he said, “There’s more than meets the eye” and that there “might be litigation in the future” so he did not want to talk further.
    "The Times doesn’t clarify what the legal action would entail. We can only assume this means she may take legal action against Fox News, regarding a dispute with her contract. We will keep you posted if we get more information."

    Legal Experts Shocked by Fox’s $20 Million Settlement With Gretchen Carlson   . . . "Attorneys also believe this case may open the door to more sexual harassment claims in the workplace. Some were especially surprised by the high dollar amount that 21st Century Fox agreed to fork over.

    Dissing Our National Anthem: Cool. Honoring Cops: Controversial?


    Lloyd Marcus

    Kaepernick

    . . . "Folks, I just do not know what is going on in our country anymore. A pro-football player was celebrated for refusing to stand for our National Anthem because he says America suppresses blacks. Meanwhile, other pro-football players were denied their request to honor five police officers assassinated by Black Lives Matter; deemed too controversial.
    "As for the pro-football player who refused to stand for our National Anthem, he is the product of decades of liberals filling his head with lies about his country via Democrats, public education, mainstream media and Hollywood. There are also ga-zillionaire black celebs, role models, promoting the lie that cops routinely murder blacks and blacks can not catch a break in this racist hellhole called America.
    "Amazingly, all these liberalism indoctrinated millennial and generation-Xers ignore the huge elephant in America’s living room; a black man elected twice to run our country. Blacks are only 12% of the U.S. population. Therefore, it took mega-millions of white votes to trust a black man with the highest office in the land. Despite obvious evidence proving otherwise, far too many younger Americans still believe the lie that blacks are suppressed and white Americans should feel guilty for being white." . . .

    "I was fortunate enough to work with her."
    . . . "The two first met at the 1994 National Prayer Breakfast, where Mother Teresa was the keynote speaker. In her speech (which you can watch here), Mother Teresa spoke about the evil of abortion. "I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself," said the future saint. The pro-choice president and vice president, and their pro-choices wives, sat silently in the room as the rest of the attendees applauded." . . .

    David French at NRO: Even if You Believe the Left’s Excuses, Hillary Clinton Still Violated Criminal Law  "In short, what the FBI file revealed was the extent of the Clinton deception operation, complete with lurid details — such as aides smashing old Blackberries with a hammer, an IT employee declaring an “oh s***” moment as he rushed to delete files, and Cheryl Mills participating as an attorney in the proceedings even though she was a witness and possible subject in the investigation.

    "There are those on the Left side of the Internet who looked at the same report, read every word, and declared that it actually exonerated Clinton."

    The Clinton Revelations That Must Not Disappear

    "1. The FBI investigation began because of a referral from the U.S. Intelligence Community Inspector General. This is not the vast right-wing conspiracy or one of Hillary Clinton’s partisan foes; the IG’s office is staffed by those whose professional duty is to protect our nation’s secrets." . . .
    4. Clinton was obligated to get permission to use her personal device; at no time did she do so.
    "Ace of Spades noticed, “Hillary’s Brain Damage came right at the sweet spot: It came to provide her an alibi, then left just in time to permit her to be president.” "Jeryl Bier reminds everyone that Hillary really cannot offer this excuse because she signed official documents affirming she had been properly briefed:

    . . . "For example, when asked about an email chain containing the symbol “(C)” – meaning “confidential,” a designation ubiquitous in classified documents – Clinton claimed not to know what it meant and, according to the notes, “could only speculate it was referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order.” This is a response so absurd as to be insulting (the interview notes do not tell us if the FBI asked her to find (A), (B) and (D) notations that would be necessary to have the “alphabetical order” story make sense – assuming, for argument’s sake that one would indulge the possibility that this could be a truthful answer from a classified information consumer as high-level as Clinton)." . . .

    Obama disrespected on final Asia trip




    Washington Times   "On President Obama’s final trip to Asia, his impending lame-duck status is showing.

    "Mr. Obama, who arrived in Laos late Monday night to become the first U.S. president ever to visit the Southeast Asian country, is encountering more than his usual share of friction and confrontation on his 10th trip to the region.
    "It started with his arrival at the airport in China, where Chinese officials failed to provide a portable staircase for Mr. Obama to disembark from the upper door of Air Force One with the typical grandiose visibility befitting a visiting head of state. Instead, the president emerged from a smaller staircase in the belly of the aircraft, and many saw it as a deliberate sign of disrespect by the Chinese.
    "Republican nominee Donald Trump said he would have refused to meet with Chinese officials if they treated him like they treated Mr. Obama.
    “ 'If that were me, I’d say, ‘You know what, folks, I respect you a lot, let’s close the doors, let’s get out of here,’ ” he said Monday.
    "Mr. Obama downplayed the episode, and Chinese officials blamed the U.S. for not requesting a staircase." . . .

    ‘A safe space for Black CSLA students …’
    "California State University Los Angeles recently rolled out segregated housing for black students.
    "The arrangement comes roughly nine months after the university’s Black Student Union issued a set of demands in response to what its members contend are frequent “racist attacks” on campus, such as “racially insensitive remarks” and “microaggressions” by professors and students. One demand was for a “CSLA housing space delegated for Black students.”
    “ '[It] would provide a cheaper alternative housing solution for Black students. This space would also serve as a safe space for Black CSLA students to congregate, connect, and learn from each other,” the demand letter stated.
    "The newly debuted Halisi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community “focuses on academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory,” Cal State LA spokesman Robert Lopez told The College Fix via email." . . .
