London now more dangerous than New York City, crime stats suggest...
London is now more crime ridden and dangerous than New York City, with rape, robbery and violent offences far higher on this side of the Atlantic.

The latest statistics, published earlier this week, revealed that crime across the UK was up by 13 per cent, with a surge in violence in the capital blamed for much of the increase.

Seizing on the figures, US President, Donald Trump, claimed the rise could be linked to the “spread of radical Islam”, adding that it demonstrated the need to “keep America safe”.

From the article, another one you probably didn't read

"The recent increases in recorded crime need to be seen in the context of the overall decline in crime indicated by the Crime Survey for England and Wales."

"Criminal justice experts insisted rising crime in the UK, and particularly London, was more to do with the way the city was policed and blamed the reduction in neighbourhood patrols across the capital."

"It shows the likelihood of being a victim of CSEW crime has fallen considerably over time; around 14 in 100 adults were victims in the latest survey year compared with around 24 in 100 adults a decade ago (in the survey year ending March 2007) and around 40 in 100 adults in 1995 (the peak survey year)."

So in:
1995 - 40/100
2005 - 24/100
2017 - 14/100

I just love these videos...
Liberals Love Trump's Tax Plan... When Told It's Bernie Sanders' Plan

• President Donald Trump’s proposal for comprehensive tax reform was almost immediately dismissed as heartless and impractical by his political opponents.

• When the same ideas are packaged under Bernie Sanders' name, however, liberal college students excitedly endorsed them.

MN Governor Dayton addressed concerns in a town meeting in 2015, telling native Minnesotans, "If you don't like refugees, leave the state"

Soooo it's OK for a town clerk to refuse to issue marriage licenses to a gay couple because it violates her religious beliefs and it's OK for employers to avoid covering birth control for their employees because it violates their religious beliefs, but it's not OK for a muslim to be allowed to not handle pork because it conflicts with THEIR religious beliefs?

Either all of these are OK or none are.

You're such a pathetic racist.

He 'forgot' to mention one thing.
Of course, we know there are many people of Somalian origin in Minnesota, but they are prominent on the picture for a reason: it was taken on the day of the 50th anniversary of Somali Independence Day.
When I say 'forgot', read: didn't care to fact-check, as always.

Most "professional" lying involves the omission of facts

Oh and don't forget:

[enlytend]

Most "professional" lying involves the omission of facts

Or reversing the message and making ad hominem attacks. Or steering the conversation elsewhere by bringing up irrelevant topics...
Pretty much the whole spectrum of logical fallacy..

Joint fundraiser by 5 former presidents raises $31 million for disaster relief for Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the USVI.

Meanwhile, current president pledges $430k of his own money to cover his aides legal expenses in the Russia investigation. Hush money? I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a check if I were them - he doesn't have a good record on things like that.

 

[E-Promote]

Hush money?

Unfortunately hush money is rampant, in both our "elected" officials and the MSM.

oh wait, I almost forgot another quote:

“If you can’t get rich dealing with politicians, there’s something wrong with you.”

I'll bet the vast majority of those in that picture celebrating the "50th anniversary of Somali Independence Day" don't give a sh*t about celebrating the 4th of July. Most of them are in the US for the free benefits.

Trump finds unlikely ally in Jimmy Carter as Democrat says Russia DIDN'T swing the election and political reporters 'have been harder on Trump than any other president'

• Former president Jimmy Carter says Donald Trump gets worse treatment from the media than any other president he's seen
• Said reporters 'feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged'
• Carter, 93, has offered to be Trump's envoy to North Korea
• Also insisted that despite Russian meddling in the 2016 election, they didn't sway 'any votes'

Hey Jimmy, took you a bloody long time to admit that... I guess it's allways "better late than never"

They're refugees from a war torn country. They can celebrate both, just like Irish people can celebrate St. Patrick's Day and 4th of July. Probably more patriotic than most Americans because they know how bad it can be elsewhere. Also, usually do better in school. Refugees/immigrants from Africa tend to take their education a little more seriously:

"African immigrants to the US are among the most educated groups in the United States. Some 48.9 percent of all African immigrants hold a college diploma. This is more than double the rate of native-born white Americans, and nearly four times the rate of native-born African Americans."

Keep being racist and ignorant.

Fake News CNN Ad - This Is An Apple... LOL

Who are these idiots trying to convince? Can only be themselves

Hey CNN, try telling the truth... you won't need this stupid ad, if you did.

Fat third wave feminists are literally at war with reality. Yes, they're smashing up weighing scales.

 

[enlytend]

Why was human rights crusader and Magnitsky act proponent Bill Browder's US visa revoked?
Because as they say in Russia,
Трамп - сука Путина

Look it up.

Fact checking fail from our favorite meme poster again - The photo of people smashing scales has nothing to do with "third wave feminism" or lack of any ability to face reality - it was an event symbolizing that the number on a scale shouldn't be allowed to dictate someone's self worth. But I don't expect you to understand that.

It's nice you're praising Fredrica Wilson by posting that video. It's obvious you didn't watch the video.

I guess you also don't know the difference between giving a speech honoring them and what not to say to a grieving family.

It's called taking shit out of context.. I guess the irony went right over you head?

No, you just failed. Tried to dig some dirt up on her, found a video honoring the FBI. It's what happens when you copy and paste stuff off blogs without actually reading the article/watching the video.

Since it seems you like talking about sexual harassment issues, what are you thoughts on:

"Last January, six months after Fox News ousted its chairman amid a sexual harassment scandal, the network’s top-rated host at the time, Bill O’Reilly, struck a $32 million agreement with a longtime network analyst to settle new sexual harassment allegations, according to two people briefed on the matter — an extraordinarily large amount for such cases."

Seems Fox News was the place to be if you liked to sexually harass women.

New hotness: He knew the risk but went anyway.

You're so woke.

Yep... They all knew, just like I've been saying. No word from you on NBC completely killing the Wienstien story though?

BIll O Just published letters from Megan and Gretchen calling him a mentor.

And this isn't in question. He paid $35 million, later was fired. Your response is Bill published some letters. You're kind of outing yourself with this. Get excited about Weinstein, give Trump and Bill a pass.
