A newly-unearthed video from 2000 shows Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken cracking jokes about anal child rape at a Comedy Central event:


A 2000 Comedy Central Roast of director Rob Reiner featured Franken making baby rape jokes about Reiner. "On a typical night, Carl [Reiner] would slip into Rob's bed, roll him over, swab him down and say something like, 'I'm thinking about hiring Morey Amsterdam to play Buddy Sorrell, what do you think?'" Franken said as Reiner blurted out, "Oh, Jesus."

"Well, the success of The Dick Van Dyke Show changed things dramatically, Carl started inviting many of his famous friends to fuck his son," Franken continued. "That list includes some of the greats in comedy: Paul Lynde, Dom DeLuise, Rip Taylor, Danny Kaye, Charles Nelson Reilly and Rock Hudson - whom, I frankly don't think is that funny."

Three Chinese men arrested in Thailand have acknowledged that they were operating a "click farm," using hundreds of cellphones and several hundred thousand SIM cards to run up "likes" and views on WeChat, a Chinese social media mobile application, Thai police said Tuesday.

Immigration Police Capt. Itthikorn Atthanark said the men explained they were paid according to how many likes and views they generated, each earning 100,000-150,000 baht ($2,950-$4,400) per month. Click farms are hired to inflate an online site's viewership for prestige and profit. Some politicians boast of how many followers they have on social media, while clicks can generate ad revenue.

WeChat is China's most prominent online social media platform, incorporating a text-messaging service as well as marketing for online stores.

The United States House of Representatives has passed a bill to criminalize "sexting" among teenagers. But that's not all. This ominous bill also punishes their parents by making them face a 15-year mandatory, minimum sentence.

H.R. 1761, the Protecting Against Child Exploitation Act of 2017, seeks to "criminalize the knowing consent of the visual depiction, or live transmission, of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, and for other purposes."
"Any person who, in a circumstance described in subsection (f), knowingly—employs, uses, persuades, induces, entices, or coerces a minor to engage in any sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing any visual depiction of such conduct, or transmitting a live visual depiction of such conduct; produces or causes to be produced a visual depiction of a minor engaged in any sexually explicit conduct where the production of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct and such visual depiction is of such conduct; or transmits or causes to be transmitted a live visual depiction of a minor engaged in any sexually explicit conduct."

The Norwegian government on Monday proposed a bill to ban the full-face Muslim veil in all schools, from nurseries to universities, saying it hinders communication between students and teachers.

Norway's ruling coalition of conservative and anti-immigration rightwing parties had promised the ban last year, targeting the full-face veil called the niqab as well as burqas, balaclavas and masks.
"We do not want clothes covering the face in nurseries, schools and universities," Minister of Education and Research Torbjorn Roe Isaksen said in a statement.

"These clothes prevent good communication, which is important for students to receive a good education," he added.

Legal cases made by EU against Hungary, Poland and Czech Republic for not taking in refugees

The European Commission has launched legal action against three EU member states, claiming Poland, Hungary, and Czech Republic have not "taken the necessary action" in dealing with migrants and refugees.

Infringement proceedings were launched by Brussels on Tuesday.

Warsaw, Budapest, and Prague have been accused of not fulfilling their obligations in dealing with migrants and refugees according to a 2015 plan.

The three EU states have acted "in breach of their legal obligations," the commission said in a statement, adding that it had previously warned the countries to observe "their commitments to Greece, Italy and other member states."

Comment: Like the economic austerity measures we've seen in Greece and elsewhere, the idiot imperialist vassals, bureaucrats and leaders of the EU create a horrific problem (ie. wars of aggression making masses of people seek to escape the war-torn and economically ravaged lands they live in) and then create even more problems with their "solutions".

Dennis Rodman visits North Korea on good will mission

Rodman Kim
Can you say diplomatic slam dunk?

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has for years, acted as something of a good will ambassador between the United States and North Korea (DPRK).

Rodman first went to North Korea in 2013 to participate in a series of exhibition basketball games. Rodman spoke of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un as a "friend for life" after the two first met and encouraged then US President Obama to hold a phone call with Kim citing their mutual love of basketball.

It didn't happen, but now under a Trump Presidency, Rodman is heading back to Pyongyang for what he calls an attempt at "just opening the door".

Comment: Didn't anyone tell Dennis Rodman that he's not supposed to show good will to world leaders that the US Deep State is seeking to undermine, topple and destroy?

NYPD agrees to $75mn payout over illegal 'broken windows' policy

A class-action lawsuit accusing the New York Police Department of issuing hundreds of thousands of summonses in order to boost its crime statistics has been settled for $75 million.

A federal judge approved the settlement Monday after seven years of litigation.

The controversy arises out of the NYPD's 'broken windows' policing strategy, tactics based on the idea that clamping down on minor crimes, such as broken windows, helps prevent more serious crimes. The NYPD adopted the policy in the 1990s and it subsequently spread to other American cities.

The plaintiffs in the case Sharif Stinson et al v City of New York argued that minorities have been disproportionately targeted by the policy.

Heroin use? Smoked crack? For recruits, police forgive past sins

police academy
Are you clean shaven and tattoo-free? What's your credit score? What about marijuana — ever inhaled?

Becoming a police officer has long depended on having the right answers to questions like these.

But with killings by officers forcing a public reckoning over whether the police deserve to be seen automatically as the good guys, departments in major cities are struggling to fill thousands of openings: 1,000 in Chicago, nearly 300 in Phoenix and 200 in Detroit. And with the additional mandate to become as diverse as the communities they serve, police departments are rethinking recruitment standards once considered sacrosanct.

New Orleans, with more than 400 openings, no longer automatically disqualifies those who have injected heroin or smoked crack. Aurora, Colo., has stopped using military-style running tests, but now checks how quickly candidates can get out of a squad car.

Wisconsin passes 'Campus Free Speech Act' to limit SJW violence

Wisconsin legislation to protect free speech on college campuses would force the state's university system to discipline students who disrupt speakers. Opponents warn that the bill will silence those who protest harmful speakers.

Wisconsin state Rep. Jesse Kremer (R-Kewaskum) introduced the "Campus Free Speech Act" last month to "ensure that free speech is not only welcome, but encouraged throughout Wisconsin academia."
"In recent decades, attacks on free expression have become commonplace and in-vogue at institutions where ideals and truths should be challenged - the American university," Kremer said in a statement. "This most recent degradation has been at the behest of the leftist elite who promote their own progressive, opinionated beliefs as gospel while touting a bumper sticker slogan of 'coexist.'"
