County prosecutor who dropped Jussie Smollett charges received huge donation from Soros-backed group

Anti-American billionaire George Soros reportedly gave seven-figure campaign donations to re-elect Kim Foxx, the Chicago prosecutor who decided to drop all charges against accused hate hoaxer Jussie Smollett.

Foxx is running to return to her office as state's attorney for Cook County, and it's reported that she benefited from a political pac named the Illinois Justice & Public Safety PAC which helped her run a six-figure ad campaign. It turns out that the pac's entire $2 million budget came from one of the many activist groups stealthily funded by Soros, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

The Soros funding came as part of the billionaire's effort to put radical leftists into county attorney and prosecutor offices all across the country. And Foxx has been part of the Soros plan for years, already. She received $408,000 from the foreign billionaire when she first ran for her office in 2016.

UK court: Dubai ruler abducted and tortured two of his daughters

Just two weeks ago, first daughter Ivanka Trump visited Dubai in a show of support for women's rights. At the same time, a British court found, two of the Middle East Kingdom's princesses are presumably imprisoned there, after being kidnapped and tortured at the behest of the kingdom's brutal ruler.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum abducted his two daughters, forced them to return to Dubai, tortured them and began a campaign of intimidation against his now ex-wife, according to a damning "Fact-Finding" judgment by the English High Court court this week.

The claims were made by his now-ex, Princess Haya, who fled with the couple's 11-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son last year and sought a protective order against him in London. Haya, 45, the sister of the King of Morocco and an Olympic equestrian, married the billionaire Sheikh Mohammed, 70, in 2004. She was his sixth wife — he reportedly has 23 children by them (including the two with Haya).

The radical Left's language police want to rewrite 'sexist' dictionaries — the real objective is THOUGHT CONTROL

The language war is in full swing. An open letter signed by leaders of Women's Aid and the Women's Equality Party demands that Oxford Dictionaries change their "sexist" definition of the word 'woman.'

The authors of the letter published this week complain that the dictionary refers to a woman as a "bitch" or a "maid", while a man is described as "a person with the qualities associated with males, such as bravery, spirit, or toughness."

Like all serious dictionaries, Oxford draws attention to the different terms that are used in relation to a word. The campaign — which started last year with a petition by Maria Beatrice Giovanardi — wants the dictionary to drop terms such as "bitch", "wench", "bird" or "frail" in its historical definition of a woman.

Daily Mail's woke fail: Reports 'nothing but sexism' about Russian military pageants... while publishing photos of Russian beauties

female russian sharp shooter women military Russia

Few things scream 'double standards' as loudly as the Daily Mail accusing Vladimir Putin of running a sexist military in a story containing eyebrow-raising arguments and surrounded by articles that are hardly politically correct.

The Daily Mail tried its hand at being a champion of female emancipation and gender equality, producing a lengthy Russia-bashing piece. The Ruskies are now bad because they demean their brave female fighters, it seems. Their proof? The beauty pageants held for women in uniforms on the occasion of International Women's Day.

Russia's Black Sea Fleet is damned for daring to call female soldiers the "weaker sex." Women from the Airborne Troops were asked to "demonstrate their sewing skills" - a typical Russian propagation of gender stereotypes. And misogynists from the Missile Forces called their pageant 'Makeup Under Camouflage'! And so on and so forth.

2nd regional Italian head contracts coronavirus, all cultural facilities across the country closed

Gripped by the deadly coronavirus, which has infected thousands nationwide - a figure which now includes the head of its Piedmont region - Italy has shut down all of its cultural sites and iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum.

Those hoping to marvel at glorious reminders of the Roman Empire by visiting the Colosseum or walking among the ancient ruins of the Forum in central Rome won't be fulfilling their dreams any time soon. Those seeking to enjoy the masterpieces of the great Renaissance masters in Florence's Uffizi Gallery will have to shelve their plans for the time being, too.

In their latest move to curb the relentless spread of the novel coronavirus officially known as Covid-19, Italian authorities have decided to close all national cultural facilities, including the iconic landmarks that have made the nation famous throughout the world. The measure also spells bad news for local cinema-goers and theater-lovers, since these venues will now be closed too, according to Cultural Minister Dario Franceschini.

The official called it a "necessary and tough choice" as he announced the decision in a Twitter post. He also urged the national TV channels to fill the void left by the abrupt - if temporary - ban on cultural life by broadcasting films, plays and music. All companies managing cultural sites should "make the most" of their websites and social network accounts, the minister suggested.

Comment: Iran experienced another 49 deaths, bringing the total to 194 (over 6,500 cases overall). IranAir has suspended all flights to Europe because of "the restrictions that have been placed on [IranAir] flights by Europe for unclear reasons."

The political storm over green targets will be even bigger than Brexit

Just when we thought the war was over, it is starting to dawn on some London hacks that it has only just begun. Beyond the Red Wall are rumblings of a new revolt, utterly unanticipated by No 10 and overlooked by a liberal media still shell-shocked by the election. With its drive to "green" the economy at any cost, the Tory party has seemingly decided to celebrate its populist landslide by bogging down the country in zero-carbon paternalism. And so we careen towards another People vs Establishment conflict that could be more explosive even than that sparked by the referendum.

A savvy politician like Boris Johnson can still reverse No 10's green strategy, which moved on this week from banning petrol and diesel cars to the revival of onshore wind farms. He must - all the ingredients for another seismic uprising are already simmering.

First is the drift towards disaster at the Treasury. With the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, reportedly poised to end the freeze on fuel duty for all motorists, voters are referring to zero carbon as "the new austerity".

UK airline staff may lose pension because collapsed airline is registered in tax haven

Katherine Densham worked for the collapsed airline for 13 years

More than 1,300 Flybe staff who have lost their jobs could also lose their pensions, it has emerged.

Workers risk suffering a big shortfall in old age because the money saved for their retirement is not protected.

Former staff will also be affected. Members of the pension fund are among 2,400 stunned staff to have lost their jobs after the airline collapsed.

Their plight contrasts sharply with Flybe's wealthy owners, which include Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic, 69, and a US hedge fund.

'Don't like to see little girls in veils? Move out of Sweden': Muslim teacher & Muslim politician clash on live TV

Screenshot from the video / Loubna Stensaker Goransson and Naouel Aissaoui are debating on a headscarf ban in schools.

Two Muslim women with opposing views on a headscarf ban in schools clashed in a fierce TV debate in Sweden. The teacher told the politician that people uncomfortable with the veil should just leave the country.

The heated exchange between Naouel Aissaoui, a school teacher in the Swedish municipality of Skurup, and local politician Loubna Stensaker Goransson was over a ban on veils in public schools, which Goransson and other council officials enacted in December. The decision angered many educators, and Aissaoui is among those leading the pushback.

"Move away if it annoys you," Aissaoui said during a TV debate after her opponent said she disliked seeing little girls wearing the veil. "This is my country, too."
