[Dhaka Tribune] This was at least 15 years ago: An East London theatre was about to stage a drama about conflict in the community, especially the dilemma of Bangladeshi youngsters. Without even knowing what was in the plot, the whole community stood against it.
Somehow, a rumour was spread that Bangladeshi youngsters were involved in drugs, and a lot of abortions were undertaken among Bangladeshi teenage girls. A renowned Bangladeshi playwright wrote the play, and I was among the actors who were cast in it. I personally knew that no such hint about Bangladeshi youth was part of the script.
[BareNakedIslam] The Leftist media whores for Islam cropped this photo to show just the Muslim so-called "refugees" floating in lifejackets but cutting out the man who was standing without a life jacket in the shallow water right next to them.
[Breitbart] Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is surging in battleground states Iowa and Virginia in newly released polls, consistent with the national trend reported this week by Reuters-Ipsos and other major polling operations.
A handful of swing states--experts always mention at least five, and no more than eleven--will determine the winner of the presidential race, mainly concentrated in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Southwest.
Polling numbers from two of those states seem to fit a larger trend over the past two weeks of improving chances for Donald Trump to defeat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
An Emerson poll in Iowa has Trump up five points over Clinton, 44-39, in a sample of 600 likely voters. This brought the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls in the Hawkeye State to a +1 advantage for Trump, for the first time since the candidates held their respective conventions in mid-July.
Emerson also polled in Virginia and found Clinton with only a one-point lead over Trump, in a sample of 800 likely voters. The resulting RealClearPolitics average of +7.7 for Clinton is a significant departure from recent polls showing her with a double-digit advantage in the Old Dominion, which she has enjoyed since picking Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine (who is also the state’s former governor) as her running mate.
The Iowa poll was conducted Aug. 31-Sept. 1 with a margin of error of 3.9 percent, and the Virginia poll was conducted Aug. 30-Sept. 1 with a margin of 3.4 percent. These were the first Emerson polls in those two battleground states in this election cycle.

And yet if you listen to CBS he's way in the heck behind in the swing state polls. Dunno who to believe. But then, I remember CBS predicting that BREXIT would fail.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Nabih Knobby Berri Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, a member of AMAL, a not very subtle Hizbullah sock puppet... , head of Leb’s primarily Shiite Amal Movement who has served as Parliamentary Speaker since 1992, has finally confirmed what many Lebanese have long suspected. Rather than a bigwig representing all religious sects and a respected mediator between Iran’s radical proxy Hezbollah and the 14 March /Future Movement, he seems to have indelibly stamped Hezbollah’s flag on his forehead.
His speech, delivered before a crowd of thousands on Wednesday August 31 marking the disappearance of one of Amal’s founders Imam Musa Al Sadr and his lover companions in Libya 38 years ago, included the obligatory muscle-flexing against Israel and was so one-sided it could almost have been penned by Hezbollah’s Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah.

A happy system of government for Lebanon is hard to envision. The only sensible one I can think of is return to the old Millet system. Each religious or ethnic group rules itself as it pleases. The central government only deals with matters and difficulties between members of different groups.
This worked under the Ottomans for centuries, because they (Janissaries) were outsiders not biased toward any side, and they were horribly brutal, so nobody ever wanted to have to deal with them.The same system lasted a thousand years in Egypt, under the Mamluks, until the French overthrew them.

If you listen to this, you shall feel Freedom and Liberty flow in your Veins.
Greenfield made three inter-sectionals in this that were very important to understand.
He did this with cunning grace and humor.
He speaks as he writes and he has always been correct.
Always.

And thanks for the line up whomever. This is my favorite piece this year. This man, and Daniel Pipes need full coverage.
They are so much on the game and on the shit, I do not understand why I do not see them when I tune into news "organizations".
