Ford to acquire Renault
With the Euro going down, Ford to acquire Renault.....
Ford has announced plans to acquire French auto maker Renault and engineering teams have already joined forces to create the perfect small car for women.
Mixing the Renault “Clio” and the Ford “Taurus”, they have designed theCli-taurus”. It comes in pink and the average male car thief won't be able to find it, let alone turn it on, even if someone tells him where it is and how to do it.
Rumor has it though, that it leaks transmission fluid once a month and can be a real bitch to start in the morning!
Some have reported that on cold winter mornings, when you really need it, you can't get it to turn over.
New models are initially fun to own, but very costly to maintain and horribly expensive to get rid of.
Used models may initially appear to have curb appeal and a low price, but eventually have an increased appetite for fuel, and the curb weight typically increases with age.
Manufacturers are baffled as to how the size of the trunk increases, but say that the paint may just make it LOOK bigger.
This model is not expected to reach collector status.
Most owners find it is best to lease one, and replace it as needed.....

In the midst of the daily tarring and feathering of President Trump by our "objective" press, we are treated to some precious moments where these badly disguised political operatives write something unintentionally hilarious. Take, for example, The New York Times story on Aug. 25 headlined "Trump's Allies Scour Internet to Punish Press." Reporters Ken Vogel and Jeremy Peters ominously warned, "A loose network of conservative operatives allied with the White House is pursuing what they say will be an aggressive operation to discredit news organizations deemed hostile to President Trump by publicizing damaging information about journalists."
Five non native men jailed for a total of 63 years for abusing young girls in Rotherham
Five men have been sentenced to a total of 63 years for sexually abusing scores of young girls in Rotherham.
Aftab Hussain, 40, was sentenced to 24 years in prison, and Abid Saddiq, 38, to 20 years by the judge at Sheffield Crown Court, who described Saddiq as a “cunning and determined sexual predator”.
Masaued Malik, 35, was jailed for five years; Sharaz Hussain, 35, for four years; and one man who cannot be named for legal reasons was jailed for 10 years.
Malik was told that his sentence will follow on from a 15-year term he is already serving for similar offences.
The men were convicted of a number of child sexual abuse offences, including rape and sexual assault, as part of an investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA).
Judge Michael Slater said that, after sitting through the trial of the five men, he was “quite satisfied” that the “relevant authorities” were well aware of the way vulnerable teenagers in the South Yorkshire town were being targeted for sexual exploitation more than a decade ago.
Judge Slater described this as a “lamentable state of affairs”, saying that the authorities at the time were at best “totally ineffectual” and, at worst “wholly indifferent”.
The NCA has said itbelieves 1,510 teenagers were exploited in the town during the period between 1997 and 2013.
Friday’s sentencing followed the latest trial to arise out of Operation Stovewood – the massive National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation into the sexual exploitation of teenagers in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013.
Bangladeshis speak up about 'rampant' rapes of boys and girls in Islamic schools
After Hojaifa al Mamduh, a former madrasa student, spoke out about the abuse he was accused of being 'an agent of Jews and Christians' (AFP Photo/MUNIR UZ ZAMAN)Dhaka (AFP) - Former Bangladeshi students are turning to social media to detail allegations of "rampant" sex abuse at the hands of teachers and older pupils in Islamic schools, breaking their silence on a taboo topic in the conservative country.
Child abuse in madrasas has long gone unreported in Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority nation where hardline Islamist groups draw their support from the tens of thousands of schools across the nation of 169 million people.
But in the wake of a brutal murder of a teenage girl who was burnt to death in April after accusing her headteacher of sexual assault, such incidents have been subject to national scrutiny and debate for the first time.
In July alone, at least five madrasa teachers were arrested on rape charges against boys and girls under their care.
Several senior students were also held by police over the rape and beheading of an 11-year-old orphan, while a Dhaka cleric and seminary teacher was charged with sexually assaulting a dozen boys aged between 12 and 19.
The accusations reveal how students from poorer and rural backgrounds, whose parents send them to madrasas as they are more affordable than secular schools, are disproportionately affected by the abuse.
Rights activists said the assaults -- which range from violent rapes to forcible kissing -- are so pervasive that the cases reported in the media are just the tip of the iceberg.
"For years these crimes eluded spotlight due to sensitivity of the subject," Abdus Shahid, the head of child rights' group Bangladesh Shishu Odhikar Forum, told AFP.
"Devout Muslims send children to madrasas, but they don't speak up about these crimes as they feel it would harm these key religious institutions."
- 'Widespread and rampant' -
Hojaifa al Mamduh, who studied in three madrasas in the capital Dhaka, published a series of posts on Facebook in July detailing the abuses endured by students including himself.
The assaults were "so widespread in the madrasas, every student who has studied there knows about it", Al Mamduh, now a journalism student at a Dhaka University, told AFP.
"Many madrasa teachers I know consider sex with children a lesser crime than consensual extramarital sex with women. Since they live in the same dormitories, the perpetrators can easily hide their crimes and put pressure on their poor students to keep mum."
The 23-year-old's posts generated heated debate in the country, and he was personally threatened.
He was accused of being "an agent of Jews and Christians" and smearing the "sacred image" of a madrasa by one social media user.
Another reminded him of the fate of Avijit Roy, a top Bangladeshi atheist blogger and writer who was hacked to death by Islamist extremists in 2015.
But his posts encouraged others to share their own experiences of alleged sex crimes.
Mostakimbillah Masum, who published his story on a feminist website, said he was "first raped by an elder student in my madrasa when I was just seven".
The 25-year-old told AFP that another one of his rapists was "a teacher who made me unconscious and raped me. It traumatised me permanently".
"Dozens of madrasa students I know were either raped or witnessed rapes and sexual assaults of their fellow students," he added. "It is so rampant almost every madrasa has a fair share of such stories."
- Culture of impunity -
Madrasa teachers have strongly denied the allegations, calling them "negative propaganda".
Mahfuzul Haq, a principal of a madrasa in Mohammadpur where Al Mamduh studied, told AFP "one or two isolated incidents can happen" as there were 20,000 madrasas in the South Asian nation.
"Those who don't like to study in madrasas are spreading these stories," he added.
A spokesman for hardline Islamist group Hefazat-e-Islami, which represents a coalition of thousands of madrasas, said his organisation told a recent conference of 1,200 principals to take "tough stand against any sex crimes".
However, there has been growing acknowledgment of the alleged offences.
Pro-Islamic website Fateh24.com, viewed as a voice for the madrasas, pointed out in a report that children were at risk in smaller seminaries run by just one or two teachers and that had no oversight from governing bodies.
Editor Iftekhar Jamil, a former madrasa student and teacher, added that the cases were "not isolated" incidents and called for closed-circuit cameras to be installed in students' sleeping quarters.
"Instead of looking for conspiracies, these madrasas must take up responsibility and adopt an action plan to tackle these crimes," he told AFP.

Two NYC women Islamic radicals plead guilty to plan to build bomb for attack on U.S.
NEW YORK - Two women inspired by radical Islam pleaded guilty in New York City on Friday to teaching and distributing information about the manufacture and use of an explosive, destructive device and weapon of mass destruction, federal prosecutors said.
Asia Siddiqui and Noelle Velentzas, both U.S. citizens in their 30s from the borough of Queens, face up to 20 years in prison when they are sentenced.
U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue said in a statement the defendants studied some of the most deadly attacks in U.S. history as a blueprint for their plans to kill American law enforcement and military personnel.
Prosecutors said Velentzas and Siddiqui taught each other chemistry and electrical skills, conducted research on how to make plastic explosives and a car bomb, and bought materials to be used in an explosive device.
Siddiqui wrote a poem for a radical jihadist magazine edited by Samir Khan, a now-deceased prominent member of the militant group al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. court in the Eastern District of New York.
Velentzas also espoused violent rhetoric, praising the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, and stating that being a martyr through a suicide attack guaranteed entrance into heaven, according to the criminal complaint.
Law enforcement officers seized propane gas tanks, soldering tools, car bomb instructions, jihadist literature, machetes and several knives from the residences of the defendants when they were arrested, prosecutors said.
Attorneys for Siddiqui and Velentzas did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
In 1954 President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law the anti-subversive COMMUNIST CONTROL ACT, outlawing the divisive Communist Party in the United States.

Ball of Collusion' Book Excerpt: Hillary Clinton Ruins the Plan | National Review
Excellent article that clearly lays out the nonsense we all witnessed, that president Obama of course knew his secretary of state Hillary was communicating through an illegal unsecure email, that classified secrets went through this system which bad actors could intercept, that Hillary freaking destroyed 30,000 pieces of evidence under federal investigation (a huge crime itself) and that there is no way they only contained talking about her yoga routines and daughter's wedding.
Then to avoid discovery they cooked up this Russia collision by trump - total bs to distract from the real crime. Comey was in their bag when he declared no prosecution due to no intent since legally intent was not required.
The country had been duped, and the worst is the bottom line - the force of the intelligence and investigative powers of the US government have been turned against a political opponent. This <snip> makes Nixon seem tame.
I can't wait to read the next installment of McCarthy's book.
PERSPECTIVE … LAWYERS IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM
Every Democrat presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate because he cheated on his final test). Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.
Barack Obama was a lawyer. Michelle Obama was a lawyer DISBARRED
Hillary Clinton was a lawyer. Bill Clinton was a lawyer. DISBARRED
John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer.
Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress:
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer is a lawyer.
Ex-Senator Harry Reid is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is VERY different.
President Trump is a businessman.
President Bush 1 and 2 were businessmen.
Vice President Cheney is a businessman.
President Eisenhower was a 5 star General Officer.
The leaders of the Republican Revolution:
Newt Gingrich was a history professor.
Dick Armey was an economist.
Ex-House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.
The former Senate Majority Leader Bill First is a heart surgeon.
Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer?
Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against actor Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers. This is very interesting. I never thought about it this way.
The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Trump, Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick like First, or who immerse themselves in history like Gingrich. The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America. And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party, grow.
Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail?....Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation. This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyer. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients, in this case the American people. Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side. Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine.
But it is an awful way to govern a great nation.
When politicians, as lawyers, begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties of our very government.
We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers. Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives.
America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big. When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing. Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business.
Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.
The United States has 5% of the world's population and66% of the world's lawyers!
Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party.
When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high.
Dems slams African-American pastor for believing the Bible
A pastor believing the Bible & God shouldn't be surprising. But it's enough to cause Democrat presidential candidates to distance themselves -even though he is deeply connected to the Democratic party.

So many members of Congress are retiring in hopes of “locking-in” their future retirement payments. Currently their monthly retirement checks are equal to their monthly salaries. They hope to freeze their retirement as it stands.I'm with Trump on this. Trump is asking everyone to forward this Email to a minimum of 20 people, and to ask each one of them to do likewise.
In 3 days, most people in the United States will have the message.This is why the idea should be passed around, regardless of Political Party.
The Trump Rule’s Congressional Reform Act Of 2018:
1– No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / Woman, collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office. No more perks go with them.
2– Congressman / Woman ( past, present & future ) participate in social security. All funds in the Congressional Retirement Fund move to the Social Security System immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security System, and Congress participates with the American People. It may not be used for any other purposes.
3– Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4– Congress will no longer vote themselves pay increases. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5– Congress loses their current Healthcare System and participates in the same Healthcare System as the American people.
6– Congress must equally abide by all the laws they impose on the American people.
7– All contracts with past and present Congressmen / Women are void. The American people did not make these contracts with Congressmen / Women.
The Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The
Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their terms, then go home and go back to work, and not get all kinds of freebies!
PLAN of ACTION = ACT ON:
No wonder they’re fighting everything Trump does!
If each person contacts a minimum of 20 people, It will only take3 days for most people in the United States to receive this message. It’s time for us to take action now!
The Knights of Columbus Leads against ISIS Christian Genocide + Yasidis & other minorities
Iraqi Christians pray during a Christmas mass in Bashiqa, east of Mosul, Iraq, December 25, 2016.And has been doing so for years. The Catholic organization has been coming to the aid of persecuted religious minorities since its founding.
It took way too long. It shouldn’t have required any heavy political lifting. Little noted in the media, at the end of the last Congress the House and Senate passed, and the president signed, a new law that specifically authorizes the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to provide direct support to Syrian and Iraqi Christians, Yazidis, and other religious minorities who were the victims of ISIS genocide.
Passage of the Iraq and Syria Genocide Relief and Accountability Act was a rare bipartisan triumph in an era of bitter partisan divide. It was made possible by the leadership of conservative Representative Chris Smith (R., N.J.) and aided substantially by liberal Anna Eshoo (D., Calif.). They set aside their profound ideological differences to provide statesmanship on a crucial matter of human rights.
But much more contributed to this achievement than rare congressional comity. Years in the making, the law’s passage illustrates the importance of non-profit, often religiously based non-governmental organizations that advocate on behalf of the world’s downtrodden and oppressed. It is particularly noteworthy that the Knights of Columbus was one of primary leaders of these efforts, both pushing for legal protection of the persecuted and providing substantial humanitarian support for religious minorities suffering under the ISIS boot.
The Knights were not alone, of course. Aid to the Church in Need, a Catholic organization, and Samaritan’s Purse, an Evangelical group, also were crucial participants (among others). But with Senator Mazie Hirono (D., Hawaii) recently seeking to ostracize the Knights for taking “extremist” political positions (opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage), and with presidential candidate and Senator Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) taking a sneering line of questioning of a judicial nominee because of his long-time Knights membership in “an all-male society comprised of Catholic men,” the organization’s focused humanitarianism and political advocacy on behalf of beleaguered Syrian and Iraqi religious minorities deserves special recognition.
During the Obama administration, ISIS roared through large portions of Syria and into Iraq, conquering huge swathes of territory and even briefly threatening Baghdad. Once “the caliphate” was in control of territories, it crushed indigenous Christian, Yazidi, and non-Sunni Muslims. Actually, “crushed” is a mild term for the brutality these minorities suffered. It included murder, torture, rape, kidnapping, enslavement, starvation, dispossession, and otherwise being subjected to ethnic and religious cleansing.
Scroll Down for rest of the story....
Enter the Knights, with the clout that comes from having some 2 million members worldwide, half of whom are in the United States. Since the early 20th century, the organization has supported victims of religious oppression, including victims of the Armenian genocide. It sought to persuade FDR to protect European Jews. “Coming to the aid of persecuted religious minorities in the conflict area came naturally for us,” Knights spokesman Joseph Cullen tells me.
The persecuted religious communities in Syria and Iraq represent a diverse collection of faiths and sects: Eastern-rite Catholics, Orthodox Christians, the Church of the East, the Chaldean Syrian Church, Yazidis, Protestants, and minority Muslim sects. The “extremist” Knights contributed $20 million over several years to supply food, housing, medical assistance, sanitation, education, clothing, and other humanitarian aid to the victims. (Demonstrating the clout deployed by religious and other non-profit NGOs, Aid to the Church in Need contributed $60 million to the support efforts.)
Perhaps even more important for the long-term protection of these religious minorities, the Knights lobbied the Obama administration to declare ISIS’s oppression of Christians and others in Syria and Iraq “genocide.” The State Department refused, claiming that it had insufficient facts to make that legally portentous designation.
That was unacceptable to the Knights. The organization offered to prove the case and sent representatives into the region, including very dangerous areas, to gather information on the ground. They conferred with afflicted local church leaders and members of other NGOs assisting displaced groups. They took witness statements, documented mass graves, and recorded the stories of overrun towns. With factual data in hand, the group drafted a legal brief demonstrating that under relevant international law the ISIS butchery was indeed genocide. They submitted their conclusion as part of a 300-page report to the State Department. The report included detailed evidentiary exhibits such as, for example, an ISIS price list for female slaves kidnapped from Christian and Yazidi communities.
The material the Knights proffered was persuasive and, as was other information known by the government, undeniable: In March 2016, the State Department changed its earlier positon on the question and declared that ISIS had committed genocide against Christians and other religious minorities.
With the curtain lowering on the Obama administration, the genocide designation did not change policy immediately, however. “It was still a big step,” Cullen recalls, “enormously helpful in allowing the Trump administration to focus more closely on the plight of these religious communities.”
But there still wasn’t a specific law allowing the administration to aid affected Christians and Yazidis directly. Smith and Eshoo, determined to fill that void, introduced their anti-genocide bill in January 2017. It took nearly two years, but finally, with the State Department genocide declaration the needed predicate, and, as Smith noted in a floor speech, with Christians in the area “still at the brink of extinction,” the new law designated U.S. strategy going forward:
It is the policy of the United States to ensure that assistance for humanitarian, stabilization, and recovery needs of individuals who are or were nationals and residents of Iraq or Syria, and of communities in and from those countries, is directed toward those individuals and communities with the greatest need, including those individuals from communities of religious and ethnic minorities, and communities of religious and ethnic minorities, that the Secretary of State declared were targeted for genocide, crimes against humanity, or war crimes.
Thanks to the law, the secretary of state and USAID are now authorized to provide financial and technical assistance to “entities, including nongovernmental organizations with appropriate expertise to conduct criminal investigations, including the collection and preservation of evidence.” The law also permits funding and support for “entities, including faith-based entities that are providing assistance to address the humanitarian, stabilization, and recovery needs” of afflicted individuals and populations. Demonstrating the commitment of the Trump administration to these efforts, Max Primorac was appointed recently as USAID’s special representative for minority-assistance programs in Iraq.
Now comes the hard part — executing official policy. Whether that happens is the focused concern of Bassam Ishak, the deputy chief of mission of the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), an umbrella organization of Syrian resistance political parties that includes Kurds, Christian Syriacs, and others whom, Ishak says, support pluralism, religious freedom, and human rights. “I believe the new law is significant,” Ishak tells me in an email interview, but “legal authority needs to be translated into action.” In the past, “red tape has delayed support implementation,” but now “aid to religious minorities in Iraq and Syria can go directly to needy communities bypassing the UN.”
Much remains to be done to protect religious minorities in a region that in recent years has seen precious little sectarian tolerance. That is why it is important to recognize the work done by non-profit organizations, such as the Knights of Columbus and Aid to the Church in Need, by members of Congress, such as Smith and Eshoo, who set aside partisan disagreements to stand unanimously for persecuted and martyred religious minorities, and by the Trump administration, which has paid greater attention to genocide based on faith in the region. There is at least modest hope that these persecuted people will receive the succor they desperately need and that the vicious perpetrators of crimes against their humanity will one day be brought to international justice.
