Despite a majority of opinion polls showing the 2016 presidential election going to Democrat Hillary Clinton, a smartphone app developer says his data suggests challenger Donald Trump will be the victor.

"Based on the stats we see, he looks strong," says Ric Militi, co-founder of San Diego-based Crazy Raccoons, maker of the Zip question and answer app. His app poses questions and polls responses based on an average of 100,000 daily users. "I go with Trump, based on what we see."

According to the RealClearPolitics average of opinion polls, which are performed by calling people on landlines and cell phones, and answering questions on websites, Clinton leads with 47.8%, to Trump's 41.0%.

Former Deputy of the Year charged with 21 counts of sexual assault against young girls

A highly-decorated veteran deputy of the Lincoln county Sheriff's Office was indicted this week on 21 counts related to the alleged sexual assaults of multiple young girls throughout his career in law enforcement.

Deputy Kenneth L. Hatch III, 46, was originally arrested last June on multiple counts of sexual abuse against one girl. However, on Tuesday, as reported by Bangor Daily News, a Knox County grand jury indicted Hatch on 10 counts of sexual abuse of a minor, three counts of unlawful sexual contact and eight counts of aggravated furnishing of marijuana in connection with alleged incidents against three victims.

One of his alleged victims was a six-year-old girl whom over the years was repeatedly violated by this monster.

In 2004, according to court records, Hatch is accused of sexually assaulting the young girl. According to Assistant Attorney General John Risler, who presented the case to the grand jury, the indictments allege Hatch continued to sexually assault the same girl and provided her with marijuana into her teen years.

More US retailers are banning cash payments

cashless society
To get a glimpse of the future of commerce in America, look no further than Sweden.

The Scandinavian country is largely a cashless society, with consumers relying on mobile phone payments or plastic. While the U.S. is still far from achieving the same level of cash-free existence, increasing numbers of restaurants and retailers are now snubbing the lowly dollar bill.

Some merchants such as SweetGreen, a salad chain, refuse to open their registers for cash, telling customers they can pay only with mobile payments or cards. With some newer vending machines, only a card or mobile wallet will get that cold Coca-Cola to roll down the chute.

Comment: Electronic transactions are also an excellent way to track the populations' spending and to freeze (or confiscate) their earnings as the government sees fit. A cashless society is just another means of government control over the masses.

Council meeting in Alaska opens with prayer to Lucifer

The mundanity of a local council meeting in Alaska was astonishingly broken when a decision to open up the forum to all religions resulted in a Satanist presenting the opening prayer - to Lucifer.

When the local government of Kenai Borough decided to welcome other faiths to their assemblies they probably didn't envisage opening up their doors to the Lord of Darkness.

On Tuesday, Iris Fontana - reportedly a member of the Satanic Temple organization that views Satan as a symbol for rebellion and rational inquiry - gave the assembly invocation usually reserved for pastors.

Meeting attendees were reminded that they did not have to participate in the opening ritual.

Mayor cites 'hygenic reasons' for banning burqini in French town

One more French Riviera town has outlawed burqinis since the city of Cannes issued a ban on the Muslim swimwear for women. This time, the mayor says the decision was made for "hygienic reasons."

"I was informed that there was a couple on one of our beaches where the wife was swimming fully dressed," Lionnel Luca, the mayor of Villeneuve-Loubet, a town with 15,000 residents, told AFP. "I considered that unacceptable for hygienic reasons and that, in general, it was unwelcome."

The decree enacting the ban was signed on August 5, but was only made public on Saturday. The text of the order says"access to swimming is prohibited from July 1 to August 31 for anyone not in appropriate dress, which respects morality and the principle of secularism, and respects the rules of hygiene and safety," the Le Monde newspaper, which saw the text, reported.

Comment: This has nothing to do with hygeine and everything to do with intolerance and racism.

Protesters burn cars and riot against police in Milwaukee after man is shot dead by cop

milwaukee protests
Riots and clashes with police have been reported in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which began after a man was shot dead by an officer during a chase on foot on Saturday. Police say the victim was armed with a handgun.

Scores of angry African American protesters gathered near the scene of the police shooting at Sherman Boulevard. What at first seemed like a Black Lives Matter-style gathering soon got out of control, however.

Several vehicles, including a police car, were set on fire, and the crowd of rioters then proceeded to break into and loot a gas station, which was then seemingly set alight as well. An eyewitness nicknamed EX414 livestreamed the escalating violence on his Ustream channel.

Shots were being fired near the gas station, preventing police from extinguishing the fire, the Milwaukee Police Department said on its Twitter account. Police had said earlier that they were responding to the disturbance in the Sherman and Auer areas, tweeting that "officers working on peacefully dispersing [the] crowd." Rioters apparently set several other properties on fire, including a bank. A live stream video showed thick smoke coming out of the windows of BMO Harris Bank, while several fire trucks parked in the area could be seen responding to the fire, after some hesitation.

Far-right party in Germany wants to expel migrants to notorious island camps as Merkel tells companies to hire refugees

The leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party known for its anti-immigrant stance has proposed deporting illegal immigrants and rejected asylum seekers to islands outside Europe. It comes as the German chancellor is trying to make businesses hire more refugees.

In an interview to Germany's Bild newspaper on Saturday, AfD's Frauke Petry said she would like to see all migrants unlawfully staying in Germany as well as applicants who were denied asylum to be repatriated to the "two islands outside Europe that are protected by the United Nations."

While on the way to the islands, the male refugees who are traveling alone should be separated from female refugees and families as it is allegedly "cheaper and more secure than the current practice," Petry said.

While the AfD leader has not specified the exact location, the remote Oceania islands of Nauru and Manus, Papua New Guinea that already host Australian-run refugee detention centers were the German media's first guess. The facilities are infamous for multiple reports of abuse and torture used toward refugees held in what is claimed to be unbearable conditions.

Innocent family sues after police broke into home, shot dad, killed the dog, then shot each other

Chris and Leah McKinley and dog
Police in DeKalb, Georgia, have yet to explain why they broke into the wrong home last August, killed a dog, shot the homeowner, and managed to shoot one of their own officers — so the terrorized couple have now planned to file a lawsuit.

Chris and Leah McKinley and their one-year-old child had settled in to watch a movie in their den when they heard a strange noise. They slowly cracked open the door and saw three men standing in their kitchen.

"As I'm opening it, pow pow pow pow pow," Chris told WSB-TV in an interview, emphasizing officers started shooting before he'd even fully opened the door. One of the bullets hit him in the leg.

Immediately, the McKinleys assumed the armed men dressed entirely in black to be robbers — and Leah panicked.

"It was five shots and I thought they just murdered him, they're going to come for me and they're going to get my baby," Leah explained. "And that's all I could think about."

There is no suspect in custody. Eastman is in Dodge County, about 130 miles from Atlanta.
