New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announces the filing of a multistate lawsuit to protect Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients at a press conference at John Jay College in New York City, U.S., September 6, 2017.
New York attorney Peter Gleason says two women came to his office four years ago to seek help about then-Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

Gleason was once a write-in candidate for the Manhattan District Attorney's office against Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance, whose office is now investigating the case.

He said it is now "refreshing" that "people's allegations of misconduct are finally being taken seriously."

"I have two women at two separate times come in and complain about Eric Schneiderman, the way he treated women," Gleason told The Daily Caller Tuesday.

Comment: Breitbart also dug up this gem from Trump, who apparently called it years before:

US Congress introduces legislation to allow government to seize guns from those deemed 'dangerous'

U.S. Rep Ted Deutch, D-West Boca., and U.S. Rep. Susan Brooks, R-Ind., introduced legislation on May 9, 2018, that would encourage states to pass laws allowing the government to seize firearms of people deemed dangerous to themselves or others.
Federal legislation introduced Wednesday would encourage all states to enact laws similar to Florida's new statute that allows the government to seize firearms of people deemed dangerous to themselves or others.

In the aftermath of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre - in which 17 people were killed and 17 injured by a shooter who had previously exhibited mental health issues - Florida established a type of restraining order that allows guns to be taken away from dangerous people.

Since the law took effect, Broward leads the state in issuance of such orders. "Already in Florida, dozens of incidents now have taken place where law enforcement has used that law to take guns away from people who could do harm who posed a threat to themselves or to their community," said U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, a Democrat whose district includes Stoneman Douglas High.

Comment: While the above legislation can be lauded for attempts to deprive mentally unstable people from access to guns, there is always the risk of abuse. Who will ultimately decide if someone poses a danger?

Chilling video shows Nebraska cops shoot, kill TV crewman while filming 'Cops' episode

Cops shoot filmaker
As TFTP reported in 2014, an employee working for the television show "Cops" was shot and killed by police in Omaha, Nebraska, as they responded to an armed robbery at a local Wendy's restaurant. Although the incident happened 4 years ago, the video footage from that tragic day was not released until now.

As Omaha.com reports, the city attempted to block the release of the video, however, a Douglas County district judge has refused the City of Omaha's request to bar the release of the video, which shows the fatal shooting of a crew member of the "Cops" TV program and a man firing a pellet gun at police.

Sound technician Bryce Dion, died after police opened fire on an alleged armed robber in a restaurant. The suspect, 32-year-old Cortez Washington had been in possession of an airsoft gun.

More libtard lunacy: 'Sex expert' claims parents need consent for diaper changing

Claims by a 'sexuality expert' that parents should ask their babies for permission to change their diaper has sparked a flood of reaction with political parties criticizing the Australian news channel which interviewed the woman.

Deanne Carson, who works with Body Safe Australia, made the comments on ABC News as part of a segment on establishing a "culture of consent" in the home. She explained that she works with children from birth and, when asked to give examples of how children can learn about consent at such an early age, she said parents should ask questions such as "I'm going to change your nappy now, is that okay?"

"Of course the baby is not going to respond 'yes mum, that's awesome. I'd love to have my nappy changed.' But if you leave a space, and wait for body language and wait to make eye contact, then you're letting that child know that their response matters," she continued.

Video shows children being indoctrinated into feminist ideology on transgenderism and gender identity by their parents

A video for "Cut," posted to YouTube last week, documents parents discussing with their young children "infinite" genders, non-binary gender pronouns, transgenderism, and surgical body mutilation. The children in the video appear to have not yet even hit their teen years.

In one exchange, a mother who identifies as "trans non-binary," informs her daughter that she is going to have her breasts removed. The young girl looks absolutely terrified and tells her mom that she still has "mixed feelings" on the surgery. "[It's] a lot scary," she timidly explains, adding, "You're gonna look different."

Another mother tells her two young boys that a "wiener" doesn't necessarily make you a boy; there are "infinite" genders, she claims, as her two sons look beyond confused.

Mormon Church severs relationship with Boy Scouts in wake of decision to allow girls to join

On Tuesday, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church), which has more boys in the movement than any other religious denomination, announced it would sever its partnership with the Boy Scouts of America. Mormon boys comprise almost 20% of the Boy Scouts' 2.3 million youth members, as The Washington Post reports.

The church released a joint statement with the Boy Scouts of America that stated:
In this century of shared experience, the Church has grown from a U.S.-centered institution to a worldwide organization, with a majority of its membership living outside the United States. That trend is accelerating. The Church has increasingly felt the need to create and implement a uniform youth leadership and development program that serves its members globally. In so doing, it will be necessary for the Church to discontinue its role as a chartered partner with BSA. We have jointly determined that, effective on December 31, 2019, the Church will conclude its relationship as a chartered organization with all Scouting programs around the world.
The Mormon Church has been vitally involved with the Boy Scouts since 1913; any boy who is part of a Mormon congregation automatically becomes a Boy Scout. The Mormon Church has taken issue with the direction the Boy Scouts organization has taken in recent years, among them the decision to include openly gay troop leaders in 2015 and the decision last week to change its flagship name to Scouts BSA as a result of last year's decision to allow girls into the program.

CNN's May ratings have already plummeted by more than 20 percent

While Fox News and MSNBC are more or less holding steady this week when compared to the full month of May last year, the far-left CNN is already in a total ratings freefall by 20 percent and more.

With three weeks of May still remaining, the Stormy Daniels Network might be able to mount (if you'll pardon the expression) a comeback, but as of right now the month is looking like it could be a serious humiliation for CNN-and not just in total viewers but the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demo, as well.

Overwhelming majority of asylum seekers live on benefits and endanger welfare states

Asylum seekers in Passau, Germany
Do Migrants Find Jobs?

It is often argued that migrants cause economic growth. It is said that they benefit the economy and that overall a nation becomes stronger. A Dutch article published by Elsevierin 2017 shows something completely different: Migrants are highly over-represented among the unemployed. At least, when we are talking about asylum seekers, or refugees.

The Data - The Netherlands

The Netherlands is a rich European country with around 17 million citizens. Around half a million of those survive on welfare. In 2013, around 2% of the native Dutch citizens relied on such welfare.

What about the migrants? Out of those that had been granted asylum in the Netherlands between 2000 and 2010, less than half had a job in 2013. Moreover, those with jobs mostly held simple part-time jobs. Those that arrived in the Netherlands by requesting asylum relied heavily on welfare, with 39% of their group receiving welfare payments.

More shocking; 70% of the Somalians in the country rely on welfare. Non-western immigrants form around 10% of the Dutch population. However, they make up 50% of the welfare recipients.

Refugees demanded name-brand goods and a house in Vienna, says former coordinator

Migrants on their way to Western Europe
The retired Austrian teacher Franz Schmalwieser wanted to do something good at the height of the refugee crisis in 2015. He was interviewed by Wochenblick about his work with refugees and he now sharply criticises the "asylum industry".

Schmalwieser took care of four asylum-seeker families at the mayor's request. He was their coordinator, fundraiser, German teacher and he also gave cycling lessons to the families.

His eyes were opened one day as the family was searching through free clothes they had received from the Austrian people. While they browsed through them, Schmalwieser heard often: "Franz, that's nothing, let's go shopping. It should be name-brand."

These sorts of situations changed a lot Schmalwieser said: Volunteers stayed away and finally the donations stopped. The people felt exploited.
