ISIS Monsters Rape and Impregnate a 9 Year Old Girl

And just when you thought you saw the dept of the savagery from the ISIS monsters with their beheadings and burning live bodies in cages, they manage to go even lower. A 9-year-old girl is reportedly pregnant after being raped by ISIS savages in Iraq.

“The abuse she has suffered left her mentally and physically traumatized,” said Yousif Daoud, a Canadian-based aid worker who recently returned from the region. “This girl is so young she could die if she delivers a baby. Even cesarean section is dangerous.”

At least 10 different men with the Islamic State were said to have sexually assaulted the child, the Toronto Star reported.

“Most of them were front-line fighters or a bombers who are given girls as a reward,” Daoud explained. “She was in very bad shape.”

The young girl was one of over 200 Yazidi women and children to be released this week after spending eight months captive in the hands of the extremists, according to the Canadian newspaper.

Rev. Al Sharpton Calls for Confirmation Hearing For Loretta Lynch

Senate Republicans need to stop playing politics with this nomination and do what is demanded of them by the Constitution. People are speaking out all over the nation about this issue and on Saturday, the Reverend Al Sharpton lend his voice to the rising calls for a Loretta Lynch confirmation hearing.

At the National Action Network’s annual convention Saturday in New York City, a crowd chanted “call the vote,” 1010 WINS’ Roger Stern reported.

Sharpton said given the use of deadly force by police around the nation in recent months, including the recent death of a black motorist in South Carolina, there needs to be a confirmation vote on Lynch.

“We call on today, Mitch McConnell head of the Senate, to give America a fair prosecutor to look at these cases,” Sharpton said.

President Obama appointed Lynch 5 months ago and she has waited longer for a confirmation vote than any other attorney general nominee in recent history, Stern reported.

Lynch is the top federal prosecutor for New York’s Eastern District, which includes Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island. She also held the position under President Bill Clinton.

If confirmed by the Senate, Lynch would be the first African-American woman to hold the position.

Republicans Have Loretta Lynch on Hold… For No Apparent Reason Whatsoever

The reason may not be apparent, but deep down, the thought of the first black female attorney general must make some Republicans quiver in their skin. It has already been 154 days and according to Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, there is still no plans to confirm Lynch as the Attorney General of the United States.

McConnell and Senate Republicans explain that the reason for the hold up is Democrats. They want Democrats to vote on an abortion clause in a human trafficking bill. Not sure what the connection is between the Attorney General of the United States and an abortion clause, but, Republicans love talking about abortions. So that is the reason Loretta Lynch has waited longer for the attorney general confirmation than any other attorney general in recent history!

President Obama’s nomination of Loretta Lynch to become the country’s first African-American woman attorney general is a historic pick. Her confirmation, however, is now taking on new historical relevance as her wait for a confirmation vote by the full Senate drags into its sixth month.

The period between the Senate Judiciary Committee’s vote to confirm and the full Senate vote — which in Lynch’s case has not been scheduled — has lasted longer for her than for any attorney general nominee in recent history. By the time the Senate returns from Easter recess on Monday, it’ll have been longer than the eight previous nominees for the job — combined.

Lynch, currently the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, cleared the committee February 26 by a vote of 12-8, with Republican Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona joining Democrats in sending the nomination to the full Senate.

Obama nominated Lynch to replace Attorney General Eric Holder on November 8, after Holder had announced plans to leave the post weeks earlier.

Hillary Clinton to Announce Her Candidacy for President This Weekend

Some reports say the announcement will come at noon on Saturday via a tweet on Twitter,  but CNN is reporting that Sunday will be the big day when the former Secretary of State will make a video announcement.

Clinton has already filmed her campaign video, a person close to the campaign said, which outlines the central themes of her second bid for the White House. The message is intended to send a signal to Democrats that she intends to aggressively fight for the party’s presidential nomination.

A new epilogue of her book, “Hard Choices,” an excerpt of which was released Friday to the Huffington Post, offers a glimpse into why she is embarking on another presidential campaign. She writes about her new granddaughter, Charlotte, and calls for equal opportunity for her generation.

“Becoming a grandmother has made me think deeply about the responsibility we all share as stewards of the world we inherit and will one day pass on,” Clinton, 68, writes in the epilogue. “Rather than make me want to slow down, it has spurred me to speed up.”

The decision will sweep aside more than a year of speculation about her political aspirations and allow her to start making her case to voters.

Democrat Lincoln Chafee Wants to be President – Slams Hillary Clinton – Video

Democrat Lincoln Chafee has decided to maybe cast his hat into the ring for the 2016 presidential run and in the process, the former democratic governor of Rhode Island has something to say about Hillary Clinton, the number one Democrat vying for the top spot.

In an online video posted earlier today, Chafee – who was once an Independent and a Republican  – praised President Obama, saying the president has lead admirably. But his words for Mrs Clinton were… well, not too nice.

“I would argue that the decision to invade Iraq has destabilized the Middle East,” Chafee says in a second video. “As a senator I voted against the war authorization.”

He added that he believes the war with Iraq was “one of the worst decisions in United States history.”

Clinton, a senator at the time, voted to authorize military action against Iraq, a vote she says she got wrong.

Chafee also stressed international affairs during his announcement video, saying he’s “alarmed about the international instability, especially in the Middle East and North Africa. I don’t like where this is going.”

He said moving forward the United States “will need fresh ideas and the most skillful diplomacy in dealing with this ever changing world.”

T-Mobile is No Longer a Member of ALEC

T-Mobile just made the wisest decision yet.

The telecommunications company T-Mobile has decided to leave the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), making it the latest in a long series of corporate giants to depart the conservative organization.

“T-Mobile is affiliated with many public policy organizations and we regularly evaluate these affiliations and associations based on our priorities,” the company said Wednesday in a statement provided to National Journal. “In line with this practice, in 2015 we decided not to renew our membership with ALEC.”

T-Mobile did not offer an explanation for why it decided to leave the ALEC. A number of organizations, in leaving, have griped about the organization’s position on climate change. Google CEO Eric Schmidt, for instance, said that ALEC is “literally lying” that there’s any question about climate change.

GoFundMe Shuts Down Donation Page for Police Who Shot Unarmed Man in Back

And once again, it has already started. Even with the video showing that the officer lied in his report on what happened in South Carolina, even with that video evidence showing a man being gunned down like an animal as, even with that video available for all to see, the supporters of the police who pulled the trigger are making themselves known with a GoFundMe page to raise money for the officer who shot the man in his back. But according to this report, that page was shut down by GoFundMe.

A fundraising page dedicated to South Carolina police officer Michael Slager was shut down by GoFundMe on Wednesday.

Slager was charged with the murder of 50-year-old Walter Scott after video surfaced of him shooting at the unarmed man eight times. GoFundMe’s public relations manager, Kelsea Little, told The Huffington Post that the page’s removal was “due to a violation of our terms and conditions.”

However, Little said GoFundMe was unable to discuss the details of the campaign with anyone other than the organizer because of “privacy concerns.”

One source of outside financial support for the Slager family will be North Charleston. In a press conference Wednesday, Mayor Keith Summey confirmed that the town would continue to pay for the medical insurance of the officer’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, until the birth of the child.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Found Guilty on All 30 Counts in The Boston Bombing

Remember when Republicans criticized the American judicial system as not being capable or equip to try and convict terrorists? It was very recently when President Obama wanted to try some of the Gitmo prisoners in the American court system. Well now, the American judicial system has once again proved Republicans wrong.

Shortly after he killed three people and wounded more than 250 others in the Boston Marathon bombing, surveillance images showed Dzhokhar Tsarnaev strolling through the aisles of Whole Foods to buy milk and smiling as he stopped by his college gym.

They were images of someone prosecutors described as a callous killer as they made their case against him.

It was a drastically different scene in court on Wednesday. The now 21-year-old Tsarnaev stood with his head bowed and his hands clasped, fidgeting as jurors dealt out a decisive verdict that could be the first step toward sending him to death row.

It was a decision they didn’t make quickly. It took the jury of seven women and five men 11½ hours of deliberations to reach a conclusion.

But when they did, they didn’t leave room for doubt about who was behind the 2013 attack, finding him guilty of all 30 counts that he faced in the deadly bombings and their aftermath.

Tsarnaev didn’t look at them as the verdict was read.

South Carolina Police Officer Arrested for Murdering Unarmed Black Man – Video

CNN is reporting that a  South Carolina officer has been charged with murder after a video surfaced that appears to show him shooting an unarmed man who was running away.

Michael Slager, an officer with the North Charleston Police Department, was arrested Tuesday, according to a statement from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, or SLED. If found guilty of murder, he could face up to life in prison or death.

The shooting took place Saturday morning after a traffic stop, SLED said. Video obtained by The New York Times shows what happened.

A black man, identified as 50-year-old Walter Scott, breaks away from the white officer. Something falls, and the officer fires eight shots at the man as he runs away. Scott, who appears to be unarmed, drops to the ground.

“I can tell you that as the result of that video and the bad decision made by our officer, he will be charged with murder,” North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey told reporters Tuesday. “When you’re wrong, you’re wrong. And if you make a bad decision — don’t care if you’re behind the shield or just a citizen on the street — you have to live by that decision.”

A Common and Treatable Disease is Killing Off ISIS

God – or in this case – Allah hates ugly. And although the Militant State, ah… I mean the Islamic State also known as ISIS claims that they are worshipping Allah through their murderous activities, a common and treatable disease is reportedly wiping out the group.

Islamic State militants in Raqqa, the group’s operations center in Syria, are succumbing to the flesh-eating parasitic disease leishmaniasis.

According to the anti-IS activist group “Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently,” the disease has affected around 3,000 people in the jihadis’ territory.

Leishmaniasis causes skin lesions, which are generally easily treatable. But if left alone, the disease eats away at the patient’s flesh and can be ultimately fatal.

The jihadi militants have blocked outside medical services’ access to their territory, leaving those who live their untreated and vulnerable.

The disease is transmitted by infected sandflies, and generally prevented in susceptible areas by the use of insecticidal bed nets while sleeping. Though the World Health Organization recognizes leishmaniasis as endemic to the Middle East, incidents were slowly decreasing in Syria as a result of an aggressive government health policy before that country’s civil war broke out in 2011.
