North Korea's Kim Jong Un crosses DMZ line for historic meeting with South Korea





I'm still very skeptical concerning North Korea's abrupt about-face. That said, I hope this is a turning point. Who would have imagined 6 to 8 months ago this would ever materialize? 



Of course, Trump will NEVER get the credit from the MSM but only he could have pulled this off.

When you think about it Trump is truly amazing. He's gotten more done in his short tenure despite Mueller an anchor around his neck and members of his own party continually stabbing him in the back. Imagine what he could do with a little help!

Kim Jong-un has become the first North Korean leader to step into the South for 65 years as he met with President Moon Jae-in for a historic peace summit on Friday




North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has crossed the line dividing the demilitarized zone to meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in what's being described as a historic summit.

Kim made that first step, a great leap for the Korean Peninsula. The two posed for photos facing the North, then facing the South. Just about when Moon ushered Kim to walk toward the red carpet, Kim made a gesture offering Moon to take a step back across the demarcation line, to his side of the border. Whether pre-planned or not, the two smiled and took that step holding hands.

Escorted by traditional music, Moon and Kim walked together to the "Peace House," a three-story building where the official summit will take place.

Inside the "Peace House," Kim signed the guest book, writing in it for more than a minute. The two leaders then went into a reception room for a private conversation.

It's the first time since 2007 leaders of the two countries have met and are part of a recent thawing of relations as South Korea and the United States have focused on diplomacy in their efforts to dismantle North Korea's nuclear program.

The summit has been in the works for some time, with the stage being set by two previous meetings between high-level officials from the North and South, as well as the North's participation in the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, earlier this year. The two nations marched under one flag.

The meeting is also a precursor to President Donald Trump's own announced meeting with Kim, which is expected to take place in May or early June, though Trump cast doubt on it Thursday.

"It could be that I walk out quickly -- with respect, but it could be. It could be that maybe the meeting doesn't even take place. Who knows?" Trump told Fox News' "Fox & Friends."

The U.S. and North Korea have narrowed down the location to five possibilities, according to Trump, with three or four dates in the running. A senior U.S. official previously told ABC News that Trump had ruled out China and that it was highly unlikely Kim would agree to meet in the U.S. or that Trump would agree with a location in North Korea.

Possible venues are Europe -- including Switzerland, where Kim attended a university, or Sweden, the U.S.'s protecting power in North Korea -- South Asia, and the DMZ between North and South Korea.

One word...Karma


Woman who campaigns against the deportation of migrants Muslims from Sweden was raped and sexually assaulted by two Afghan teenagers she met outside a bar

1. I thought Muslims weren't supposed to drink.

2. Check out the 'punishment' dealt out by the Ulta-Liberal Växjö District Court

-------------------------------

A Swedish woman in her 40s was brutally raped by an Afghan teenager while another migrant man molested her, a court has heard. 

Anwar Hassani and Fardi Hesari, both 18, met the victim outside a hotel bar in Ljungby, southern Sweden, in the early hours of Boxing Day last year.

The victim later told police she took an interest in the teenagers, having been told they were migrants from Afganistan.

She explained that she had been a member of a Facebook group which campaigns against the deportation of migrants from Sweden.


Assault: The woman, in her 40s, went back with the teens to Fardi Hesari's accommodation provided for unaccompanied minor refugees, pictured, in the early hours of Boxing Day, where Anwar Hassani raped her and Hesari molested her


In a police interview she said that 'when others have thought that they [migrants] should go home again, she has opposed that'. 

The two Afghan teens asked the victim if she wanted to come back to theirs to continue drinking, and the trio arrived at Hesari's home, a room provided for unaccompanied minor refugees, at just before 3.30am.

After smoking a few cigarettes with the pair, the woman said she tripped and hit her head and laid down on a mattress on the floor, feeling dizzy.

She said Hassani started touching her body, and she pushed him away saying 'I don't want to, I don't want to', but that he then laid on top of her and pulled her jeans down.

Hassani told her to 'be quiet' several times and began raping her despite her screaming in protest. She said Hassani asked her why she had followed them back if she did not want to have sex with them.

Hesari later told police during interrogations that Hassani had turned to him and said in Farsi; 'aren't you going to rape?' 



Rape: The woman had met the two teenagers outside a hotel bar in Ljungby, Sweden


Hesari, who had been lying on the bed next to them, climbed down onto the mattress and began groping her breasts while masturbating.

The victim told police that as she felt Hesari masturbating next to her, Hassani suddenly penetrated her anally causing her 'excruciating pain'.

She claims her screams caused Hassani to stop and that the two teenagers helped put some of her clothes back on before she was able to grab her jacket and boots and 'run out of there'.

According to the victim, Hassani ran after her and 'offered to take her to dinner', but she walked off and called an ambulance.

Witnesses, including medical staff at Växjö Hospital where she arrived shortly before 7am on Boxing Day, described the victim as 'very shocked' and 'in an acute state of crisis'.

The victim said she had been struggling to sleep and suffered other mental health issues following the rape. 

Växjö District Court found Hassani guilty of rape and sentenced him to 15 months in prison. He was also ordered to pay the victim 134,990SEK (£11,326) in compensation.

After time served, Hassani will be deported and banned from returning to Sweden for ten years.


Hesari, who admitted to sexual molestation, was handed a three-month suspended sentence and ordered to pay 23,990SEK (£2,013) in compensation.

Germany's Jews advised not to wear skullcaps amid recent anti-Semitic attacks




"Schuster similarly warned in 2015 not to wear the skullcaps in areas with large Muslim populations."

Imagine the blowback if the US issued a directive not to wear a burka in Waco, TX because you might provoke an attack!

Leaders of Germany’s Jewish community have advised against the wearing of religious skullcaps amid recent anti-Semitic attacks.

Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, told Berlin public radio that Jews should be cautious in larger cities, the BBC reported.

"Defiantly showing your colors would in principle be the right way to go [to tackle anti-Semitism]," he said. "Nevertheless, I would advise individual people against showing themselves openly with a kippa in a big-city setting in Germany, and wear a baseball cap or something else to cover their head instead.”

Schuster similarly warned in 2015 not to wear the skullcaps in areas with large Muslim populations.

His recent comments came just before a “Berlin Wears Kippah" solidarity march Wednesday sparked by an anti-Semitic attack last week against two men wearing kippahs in the German capital.

One victim, Adam Armoush, 21, told German media that he is a non-Jewish Israeli from Haifa and wore the Kippah to prove a point to a friend that Berlin isn’t as hostile to the Jews as some believe, Haaretz reported.

The assailant reportedly shouted anti-Semitic abuse during the attack. The Berlin-based Jewish Forum for Democracy and Against Anti-Semitism shared the footage of the last week’s attack.

Germany has been seeing increasing hostility toward the Jewish people, with numerous Jewish organizations alerting officials about the threats they face.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel slammed what she called “another form of anti-Semitism."

She told Israeli media that the Jewish community faces threats not only from far-right groups but also from some Muslim refugees.

The country has taken in nearly 1 million refugees, predominantly from Muslim countries, since the migrant crisis began in 2015.

We Will Never Forget...became...We Can't Remember



On a tip from Ed Kilbane


This young lady filmed this on September 11, 2017. When you listen to her just think back to that day September 11, 2001...16 years ago. This was filmed right after 9/11/17 and presents a reality check: how have Americans changed in 16 years.

This young lady rightly calls out today's idiots in a short 2-minute video.
