A racially-motivated attacker spat into the face of a nine-month-old baby, shouting "white people shouldn't breed" at her mother, a court has heard.

Rezzas Abdulla approached Rebecca Telford while she was taking her baby Layla-Jean for a stroll in a pram in South Shields last January.

Prosecutor Emma Dowling told Newcastle Crown Court: "He lent into the pushchair and spat into the face of her daughter. As he did so, he shouted or said 'white people shouldn't breed.'"

When Telford confronted Abdulla, he told her to "shut the f*** up" and walked off, according to the Daily Mail.

Big surprise: EPA significantly underestimated spills related to fracking operations

Fracking oil spills

More than 6,600 spills were reported at fracked oil and gas wells over a 10-year period, according to a new report which casts doubt on figures previously released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Hydraulic fracking requires fluids to be injected at high pressure into a drilling pipe to crack rocks and release oil. Environmental campaigners are opposed to the process, claiming it can contaminate water supplies and cause small earth tremors.

The new study, published in Environmental Science & Technology, found that 6,648 hydraulically fractured oil and gas well spills in Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota and Pennsylvania occurred between 2005 and 2014, with up to 16 percent of all fracked wells spilling each year. Oil and hydraulic fracking fluids were included in the spills.

Comment: EPA scientists suppressed information that fracking contaminates drinking water

A total of 76 percent of people in northern Norway think that the country's authorities should put more efforts into improving relations with Russia, a poll revealed Tuesday.

According to the poll, conducted by the Sentio Research Norway for the Klassekampen newspaper, 15 percent of respondents said the opposite, while 9 percent said they did not know.

The survey also showed that 80 percent of positive responses came from those aged over 60.

A total of 1,500 people participated in the survey.

Relations between Moscow and Oslo grew tense in 2014 when Norway, which is not a member of the European Union, supported EU sanctions against Russia following the escalation of the crisis in Ukraine and Crimea's reunification with Russia.

University Writing Center declares American grammar 'racist & unjust'

UW Tacoma Writing Center with anti-racism statement wall banner.
An "antiracist" poster in a college writing center insists American grammar is "racist" and an "unjust language structure," promising to prioritize rhetoric over "grammatical 'correctness.'"

The poster, written by the director, staff, and tutors of the University of Washington, Tacoma's Writing Center, states "racism is the normal condition of things," declaring that it permeates rules, systems, expectations, in courses, school and society.

"Linguistic and writing research has shown clearly for many decades that there is no inherent 'standard' of English," proclaims the writing center's statement. "Language is constantly changing. These two facts make it very difficult to justify placing people in hierarchies or restricting opportunities and privileges because of the way people communicate in particular versions of English."

Comment: Unfortunately people have been trained in Universities to see 'racism' everywhere, and as responsible for all social evil. In the process they blind us to the true cause of social evil - pathological individuals from across any racial or ethnic divide.

An elementary school teacher in Collier County, Florida was reassigned to administrative duties over a Facebook post during the "Day Without Immigrants" protest last Thursday.

Parkside Elementary School computer lab instructor Veronica Fleming linked to a Chicago Tribune story about the nationwide protest and offered her take on the situation.

"The funny part about immigrants staying home is the rest of us who pay for them are here at work like we've always been. Looks like less mouths to feed today. Have fun while you still can. So glad to hear about massive deportation. Let's make America great again. Thanks Donald Trump!"

Liberal fantasies: Fake news site provides alternate reality for liberals, where Hillary is president

Liberals seeking refuge from reality now have a fake news website where they can pretend to live in a world where Hillary Clinton is president.

"Approval ratings for President Clinton hit 89 percent," "Confused by fake news, Redditers think Trump is president" and "DOJ considers charging Trump with treason" are just a few headlines featured on HillaryBeatTrump.org, a satirical news site devoted to covering stories from an alternate universe where Hillary won last November's election.

"In the midst of a Constitutional crisis, this is our response," the site's description reads. "Long live the true president, Hillary Rodham Clinton."

The site's proprietors do not identify themselves online, and did not return TheDC's request for comment, but their articles suggest they have liberal leanings.

The site's articles single out prominent Republicans like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and White House press secretary Sean Spicer for mockery.

"On Monday, Senator Ted Cruz went on Ellen to confess that he, of course, killed Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster in 1993," reads one recent article, which refers to Cruz as "the Republican front-runner to take on President Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2020."

Comment: This is only the natural progression of the social hysteria plaguing Democrats. An imaginary safe space is probably the best place for those who have lost touch with reality so completely. At least there, Hillary can only kill imaginary people.

Ashton Kutcher speaks up about sex trafficking epidemic in Congress as thousands of busts occur

kutcher testify trafficking
The actor Ashton Kutcher recently testified before Congress. Many are unaware that the press-dubbed 'pretty' boy who once dated actress Demi Moore, and that now has two children with actress Mila Kunis, is also an active voice against human sex trafficking.

Kutcher is the co-founder of Thorn, an organization that has developed software to reduce human sex trafficking violation investigations for law enforcement from three years to three weeks. In his emotional testimony before members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he thanked the leaders in the fight to expose the magnitude of the problem, and talked about the importance of stopping the inbound and outbound pipelines which lead to sex abuse of women and children.

Kutcher tearfully said,
"I've seen things that no person should ever see. I've seen video content of a child that is the same age as mine being raped by an American man that was a sex tourist in Cambodia. This child was so conditioned by her environment that she thought she was engaging in play."
Kutcher noted that the marginalization of refugees, and society's refusal to provide the most basic human need of love for people in numerous countries was leading to the epidemic of human trafficking.

Canadian science teacher facing discipline for questioning safety of vaccines

Tim Sullivan
© MONTE SONNENBERG / SIMCOE REFORMERNorfolk science teacher Tim Sullivan, of Simcoe, is scheduled for a disciplinary hearing next week before the Ontario College of Teachers following a series of incidents at a school in 2015 related to a vaccination clinic. Here, Sullivan displays product monographs related to some of the vaccinations administered to local high school students.
Having gained leaps and bounds in the race to eliminate any vestige of free speech with its recent hate crime laws, Canada is once again trying to take the lead in the elimination of free thought, free speech, free expression and well . . . pretty much anything free.

This time, it is the persecution and punishment of a Canadian Biology and Physics teacher for daring to question the safety of vaccination and, even worse, allegedly asking medical professionals about the side effects of certain medications and whether or not students were being informed as to the possible dangers.
