Recent developments in Canada highlight the extreme danger of allowing
government to get involved in the funding of private schools. In short,
taxpayer-funded Catholic schools in the Canadian province of Alberta are
being threatened with closure. The reason: refusing to promote
homosexuality, gender confusion, masturbation, anal sex, and other
elements of the mandated “sex education” curriculum. Americans should
take note.

President Donald Trump delivered a robust address to the
South Korean National Assembly in Seoul, heaping praise on the nation’s
accomplishments before launching into a blistering condemnation of the
Kim dictatorship and its mistreatment of North Koreans.
Standing just miles from the Demilitarized Zone between the once
unified countries, Trump used his looming proximity to deliver a stern,
strategic warning aimed directly at young Kim Jong-un and his hereditary
hermit kingdom.
“I also have come here to this peninsula to deliver a message
directly to the leader of the North Korean dictatorship,” Trump
announced. “Weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer. They are
putting your regime in grave danger.” “Every step you take down this dark path increases the peril you
face. North Korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned. It is
a hell that no person deserves.”
“Yet, despite every crime you have committed against God and man… we
will offer a path to a much better future,” he continued. “It begins
with an end to the aggression of your regime, a stop to your development
of ballistic missiles, and complete, verifiable, and total
de-nuclearization.”
Trump called on all other “peace-loving nations” to collaborate
in applying ample pressure on the North Korean government to force them
to stand down peacefully and cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons.
“The world cannot tolerate the menace of a rogue regime that
threatens with nuclear devastation,” he said. “All responsible nations
must join forces to isolate the brutal regime of North Korea.”
“We call on every nation, including China and Russia, to fully
implement UN Security Council resolutions, downgrade diplomatic
relations with the regime, and sever all ties of trade and technology.”
President Trump later tweeted a video featuring choice quotes
directed at North Korea from his speech, overlaid with imagery of
highlights from his time on the peninsula.
“NoKo has interpreted America’s past restraint as weakness,” he
wrote. “This would be a fatal miscalculation. Do not underestimate us.
AND DO NOT TRY US.”

Throughout a 35-minute speech punctuated often by applause, Trump contrasted the nations now split by the 38th Parallel.
As a metaphor, Trump referred to infamous nighttime satellite
imagery that depicts a bright, thriving South Korea situated just below
the extreme darkness of the North, where only about one in three citizens have access to sporadic electrical power.
President Trump has arrived in Beijing on the next leg of his
Asian tour, where he is expected to apply additional pressure on
President Xi Jinping regarding the North Korea issue, amid trade talks
and other diplomatic matters.
The President had planned to make an unannounced visit to the
Demilitarized Zone, but was forced to change plans due to inclement
weather and related security concerns.

This is more of the idiocy that results from believing that
“Islamophobia” is more of a threat than jihad terror. Find out just how
corrosive and dangerous this false view is in my new book Confessions of an Islamophobe — preorder your copy here. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refusedtodenounce Hamas
and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have
been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s
co-founder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief
spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements
about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this,
but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets
telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed
virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or
implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United
Arab Emirates. A CAIR operative recently called for the overthrow of the U.S. government. Jihad Watch reader Roger sends in this video and the information
below. Please contact the mayor and City Council members, and politely
and courteously let them know that you think it was unwise of them to
honor a Hamas-linked group that has consistently opposed counter terror
efforts and smeared those who call attention to the jihad threat.
The San Diego School Board is already being sued by
Charles LiMandri the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund due to their
working with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to
implement aspects of Sharia in our public schools under the guise of an
anti-bullying program. San Diego seems to be a prototypical city for
the Islamic takeover in cooperation with La Raza. Now, the San Diego City Council proclaims November 4th to be “CAIR
Day.” The proclamation was sponsored by council member, David Alvarez,
and approved by unanimous consent. No council member objected to the
proclamation, so there was no formal vote. The measure passed on
November 7, 2017. David Alvarez, who would like to be Mayor of San Diego, submitted the
proclamation. He represents a district that includes a nationally-known
shrine to La Raza, Chicano Park.

While mowing the lawn in front of his Bowling Green house last
Friday, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was tackled at full speed from behind
by his next door neighbor, Rene Boucher. Initially Paul said his
injuries were minor, and local police charged Boucher with misdemeanor
“assault in the 4th degree, minor injury,” punishable by up to a year in
jail and a $500 fine. But Paul was later diagnosed with five fractured ribs, three of them
displaced, with recovery likely to take weeks if not months. As jailer
Stephen Harmon told Fox News on Monday, “Other charges [against Boucher]
may be pending.”
Not only did Boucher’s blindside hit on Paul catch him by surprise,
it also caught some neighbors and friends by surprise as well. They knew
they were political opposites — Boucher a socialist and Paul a
constitutionalist — but living next door to each other, they often
walked their dogs together, said Jim Skaggs, a member of Kentucky’s
Republican Party executive committee. He added:
There were as far left and right as you
can be [but] we heard of no friction whatsoever other than they just
[had a] difference of opinion. Both of them walked their little dogs
about a mile and a half circle, a nice little dog trot. I’d see them
walking, maybe they might stop and speak with each other.
Jim Bullington, a former member of Bowling Green’s city commission
who knows both men well, described Boucher as a divorced vocal
anti-Trump socialist who is “pretty much the opposite of Rand Paul in
every way.” They would often engage in political discussions, which got
heated from time to time, according to Bullington.
Other than the fact that Boucher is also a registered Democrat with
strong opinions on national healthcare, no one is yet able to come up
with a specific motive for the attack.
Paul’s injuries, however, may give Boucher additional time to
consider his behavior. Doug Stafford, a senior advisor to Paul, told Fox
News that “this type of injury is caused by high velocity severe
force," adding that “displaced rib fractures can lead to
life-threatening injuries such as hemopneumothorax [short for blood
accumulating in the membrane surrounding the lungs], pneumothorax [a
collection of air or gas in the chest or pleural space that causes part
or all of a lung to collapse], pneumonia, internal bleeding, laceration
of internal organs and lung contusions. Senator Paul does have lung
contusions currently.”
The original complaint filed by Paul against Boucher said that his
neighbor came onto his property and tackled him from behind, knocking
him to the ground. He reported that he had trouble breathing because of a
rib injury.
There is a Kentucky statute that considers an assault such as this a
felony if there is serious physical injury. To add to Boucher’s
concerns, both the Kentucky State Police and the FBI are investigating
as to whether Paul’s injuries are severe enough to charge Boucher with
felonious assault. Boucher has a court date on Thursday, where he will
likely learn whether Paul’s injuries warrant such an upgrade.
For his part, Paul says he’s doing just fine. He’s a little sore, but
he plans to be back in Washington in a few days. Paul's bill of health
should give some comfort to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, also
from Kentucky, as the Senate has a full agenda regarding tax reform,
and Paul’s vote, either way, could be crucial to its passage.
From this writer’s personal experience, Senator Paul is going to be
in considerable pain for some period of time. If charges against Boucher
are upgraded from misdemeanor to felony, Boucher, a retired
anesthesiologist, will suffer a much different and more costly type of
pain. ________________________________________________

Two men who identify as women were elected by voters on Tuesday, one
running for city council in Minnesota and another seeking to serve in
Virginia’s House of Delegates.
Andrea Jenkins, whose birth name has not been cited in reports, was
elected to the Minneapolis City Council with 73 percent of the vote.
Jenkins began presenting as a female 26 years ago at age 30, and has
been working as the senior policy aide for Councilmember Elizabeth
Glidden for the past 12 years.
He also is active as a poet and a transgender activist, working with
the Transgender Oral History Project (TOHP) at the University of
Minnesota.
Jenkins announced his candidacy for the 8th Ward seat last year after Glidden decided not to run for reelection.
“I am prepared and ready to bring positive change toward a more
equitable Minneapolis,” he said in a statement. “I look forward to
working with the residents of the 8th Ward, and beyond, in creating the
policies and programs necessary to bring sustainable improvement for
everyone in our economy, housing, and services.”
On Tuesday night, Jenkins stated that with his win the days of
transgender people being “marginalized” are over, as “[w]e don’t just
want a seat at the table, we want to set the table.”
“Transgender people have been here forever, and black transgender
people have been here forever,” he told the Washington Post. “I’m really
proud to have achieved that status, and I look forward to more trans
people joining me in elected office, and all other kinds of leadership
roles in our society.” Virginia, Democratic candidate Daniel “Danica” Roem was elected to
the House of Delegates 54-45 over incumbent Republican Bob Marshall.
Roem works as a journalist and is also a heavy metal rocker with the
band Cab Ride Home, which describes itself as “drunken thrash metal” on
its website.
“[O]ur songs are about drinking and our shows are about raging,” the band description reads.
“Just because I sing in a heavy metal band while spinning my head in
circles and getting paid to do it, why can’t I run for government?” Roem
told the outlet Noisey in June. “Why would I have to change who I am in
order to run for government? I’ve already had to go through
transformative change.” Marshall, who served for 13 terms, stood against the affirmation of
homosexuality and gender confusion in office, and refused to refer to
Roem as a woman during the election. As previously reported,
Marshall had proposed a bill last year that would have required the use
of restrooms and locker rooms at government-run facilities, including
public schools, to align with one’s birth gender. However, in January,
his “Physical Privacy Act” was dispensed with no voice vote and no
debate, which Marshall called “disgusting.” MarshallMarshall also filed a bill this year to counteract an executive order
signed by Gov. Terry McAuliffe that requires the Commonwealth to only
enter into government contracts with businesses and organizations that
have anti-discrimination policies in place protecting homosexual and
transgenders. Some believed that the order effectively banned Christian
entities and faith-based charities from working with the state since
they would not enact such policies due to the need to hire in accordance
with their mission statement and values. “Make no mistake: Neither Governor McAuliffe nor the LGBTQ advocates
who want to destroy the livelihood of photographers, caterers, bakers,
florists, musicians and others who refuse to ‘celebrate’ same-sex
‘marriage’ will be satisfied with merely symbolic victories,” Marshall
opined. Peter LaBarbera, executive director of Americans for Truth About
Homosexuality, expressed disappointment that voters chose Roem over
Marshall, writing, “I’m devastated to learn of the loss in the Virginia
delegate race of pro-family hero Bob Marshall to a man who is pretending
to be a woman, ‘Danica’ Roem. Bob is one of the most principled and
effective state legislators in the nation, and of course there was
egregious media bias in covering the race.” “[O]ut-of-state liberals sunk in tens of thousands of dollars to help
the ‘transgender’ Roem because, well, liberals just can’t seem to
celebrate gender confusion enough,” he said.
Isaiah 45:9 reads, “Woe unto him that striveth with His Maker! Let
the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the Earth. Shall the clay say
to him that fashioneth it, ‘What makest thou?’ or thy work, ‘He hath no
hands?’”
Romans 9:20 also states, “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest
against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, ‘Why hast
thou made me thus?’”
________________________________________________________
EXCERPTS: Political pundits called this the “race of the year.” Marshall has an
impressive record of defending life and marriage and the laws protecting
them. Roem stressed during his campaign that “it’s time for us to take
out those parts of our state code that still make us a regressive
place.”
Roem campaigned on a platform of transgender sex education for
kindergarteners. He released a campaign video about how his “identity
shouldn’t be a big deal.”
Marshall is a seasoned social conservative who has defended life,
family, and religious freedom in the Virginia legislature. Marshall
refused to incorrectly call Roem a “woman” during the campaign, saying,
“You can change appearances, but your DNA fixes your bodily structures
for your entire life.”
Danica Roem, a journalist turned public works advocate, has won
Virginia’s 13th District House of Delegates seat, making her the state’s
first transgender legislator.
Roem beat out the district’s 26-year incumbent, conservative values and
government transparency champion Bob Marshall.
Minneapolis has elected a black transgender woman to its city council in
what advocacy groups say is a national first.
Andrea Jenkins easily won the race for a south Minneapolis seat
Tuesday with roughly 73 percent of the vote. Jenkins spent years as a
policy aide to two previous council members in the same ward.
"She" replaces councilwoman Elizabeth Glidden who did not seek
re-election.
In Minneapolis, voter turnout was strong with dozens of locations
running out of ballots. Election officials says voters helped shatter
the turnout numbers from four years ago.
This result follows transgender man Danica Roem becoming the first
out trans person to be elected to a state legislature
