What did Trump say about rapists and murderers?





Illegal immigrant ordered freed by feds now suspected of murder and rape in Ohio


Guess we didn't learn anything after the Kathryn Steinle case.

OUR POLICY:

Illegals please come here and kill our citizens because it would be racist not to love you.

Most liberals are too stupid to see the light. The Democratic politicians view them as votes hence their distaste of photo ID to vote.

Go here to see the l-o-n-g list of illegal loving sanctuary cities. 


And Painesville, OH happens to be one of them.

Check out CA. Forget cities... they're a sanctuary state!

Illegal immigrant suspected of murder was ordered released




An illegal immigrant suspected of murdering one woman, wounding another and attempting to rape a 14-year-old girl was released earlier this month by Ohio sheriff's deputies after U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents told them not to hold him, law enforcement officials said Tuesday.

Juan Emmanuel Razo, 35, was arrested Monday after a shootout with police following a crime spree police say began with the attempted rape of a girl in a park in Painesville, about 30 miles northeast of Cleveland. He later shot a woman in front of her children and murdered a 60-year-old woman in nearby Concord Township, according to police. While Razo is being held on $10 million bond, authorities are trying to explain why he was allowed to remain in the U.S. illegally after local authorities questioned him just three weeks ago.

"I can't set a bond high enough."

- Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael Cicconetti

"I have somebody who we don't know who he is, why he is in this country, why he is here illegally and why he allegedly committed a murder," Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael Cicconetti thundered at Razo's arraignment, noting the suspect has no green card, birth certificate or driver's license. 

"I can't set a bond high enough," he continued. "How in the hell do I even know it's him?" 

Cicconetti later told Fox News he did not understand how federal authorities could have ordered Razo released on July 7 when local deputies questioned him and contacted Border Protection officials, given that no one could even verify his identity. 

"If you are stopped, at that point, whether it be by law enforcement or you make your first court appearance, at that point we have to have some kind of identifier on him," he said.

Deputies who questioned Razo say Border Protection officials told them Razo is from Mexico and in the U.S. illegally, but said they would not pick him up for deportation. Lake County Sheriff Dan Dunlap said at a news conference that deputies released Razo because he hadn't committed a crime at that point.

A Border Protection spokesman did not return telephone messages seeking comment. A spokesman for U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement said in an email that ICE was closely monitoring the case. The email identified Razo as Juan Emmanuel Razo-Ramirez.

A detective said during the arraignment that Razo has confessed to the deadly, one-day crime spree in the quiet Lake Erie town. Police began seeking Razo late Monday morning after the girl described him to police and said he had tried to rape her. Hours later, he allegedly shot a 40-year-old woman in the arm as she walked with her two children along a bike path and an hour after that, a man told park rangers he'd found his wife, 60-year-old Margaret Kostelnik, shot to death in their home near the bike path.

The Lake County coroner said Kostelnik, who was an assistant to the mayor in nearby Willoughby, was shot multiple times.

"People always say, 'Oh, she's the nicest person in the world,'" Willoughby Mayor David Anderson told FoxNews.com. "But Margaret Kostelnik is the nicest person you could ever meet."

Anderson said he worked with Kostelnik for the 24 years he served as mayor and that her family is deeply entrenched in the 23,000-person community. Her husband has worked as the town's cemetery sexton for the past 25 years.

"She genuinely cared," Anderson said.

Willoughby and Concord Township are in Lake County, and Painesville is the county seat.

A public defender entered a not guilty plea for Razo on Tuesday. 

Tension between local and federal law enforcement agencies over how to handle illegal immigrants was brought to the forefront after the killing of Kathryn Steinle July 1 on a San Francisco pier. The 32-year-old was allegedly shot by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez who had been deported five times and had a felony record. 

Lopez-Sanchez has said he came to San Francisco because he knew local police would not turn him over for deportation because of the city's sanctuary policy, which has caused Republicans to blame these policies adopted by liberal enclaves nationwide.

Lopez-Sanchez was freed in March on an old marijuana charge even though Immigration and Customs Enforcement had filed a detainer request with San Francisco law enforcement. The city's sheriff's department was criticized for releasing Lopez-Sanchez and not notifying federal immigration authorities. 

Lopez-Sanchez pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and weapons charges in the case. His bail was set at $5 million, which means he will stay in jail until the murder trial, where he faces a possible sentence of life imprisonment.

Taking a page out of the Pelosi playbook





Killary Clinton won't answer Keystone XL pipeline question

(Click to enlarge)



Nashua, New Hampshire (CNN)Hillary Clinton on Tuesday declined to say whether she supported the Keystone XL pipeline expansion, telling a New Hampshire voter that if the matter is still undecided by the time she becomes president, she will give him an answer then.

"I am not going to second guess (President Barack Obama) because I was in a position to set this in motion," Clinton said, referencing environmental reviews conducted by the State Department that began when she was secretary of state. "I want to wait and see what he and Secretary Kerry decide."

She added, "If it is undecided when I become president, I will answer your question."

The question came from Bruce Blodgett, a software developer from Amherst, New Hampshire, who told CNN he identifies as a Republican and supports building the pipeline, the 1,179-mile-long project that would move oil from Canada to refineries in the United States.

During a town hall in Nashua, Blodgett asked, "As president, would you sign a bill, yes or no please, in favor of allowing the Keystone XL pipeline?"

"I thought she avoided the question completely. Her excuse was she didn't want to step on President Obama while he was still in office," he said. "I just thought that was a very weak answer. I just wanted to know where she stands on it one way or another."

Blodgett supports building the pipeline, and said that because the oil would be used anyway, it might as well come to the United States. Most people who ask Clinton about Keystone as usually against the pipeline and push her to reject the plan.

"She is not willing to answer the question," he said. "She is putting it off until after the election. Her hope is that it won't matter. But it does matter to a lot of people."

In a conversation with reporters after the event, Clinton stood by her decision to not answer the question.

"I've been very clear: I will not express an opinion until they (President Barack Obama and John Kerry) have made a decision, and then I will do so," she said. "If this is the number one issue on people's minds, then they're going to have to wait to see what Secretary Kerry and President Obama decide to do about it."

Hours later, Clinton's campaign team was still attempting to explain the non-answer.

"She is just in a different situation than other candidates," said Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton's communication director, said in a statement to CNN on Tuesday.

"Having the experience of being a former secretary of state distinguishes her and her candidacy, but it comes with responsibilities that at times can limit her," she said. "But we know that the experience is well worth whatever price she may pay politically."

This is not the first time Clinton has declined to take a position on the Keystone XL pipeline. Throughout much of 2013 and 2014, Clinton criss-crossed the country on the paid speaking circuit and later on her book tour. She was asked about Keystone a number of times, particularly in Canada, where the pipeline would originate. At no point did she take a position, however.

Clinton outlined her plan to combat climate change on Monday in Iowa. The plan focused heavily on solar power and did not mention arctic drilling, Keystone and a host of other issues environmentalists hope Clinton will address.

Clinton's aides have said Monday's plan was just the start and that there are more details to come.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Clinton's two most stout 2016 Democratic opponents, have come out against the pipeline.

"It is hard for me to understand how one can be concerned about climate change but not vigorously oppose the Keystone pipeline," Sanders said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

When I first heard his name I thought it was an act in Vegas




Chaka Fattah, Pennsylvania Congressman, Indicted on Charges of Misuse of Funds

This guy is on Your World with Neil Cavuto all the time.




Personal life


Fattah is married to his third wife, Renee Chenault-Fattah, a local Philadelphia television news broadcaster on WCAU-TV (NBC 10). They have one young daughter, Chandler Fattah. He is stepfather to her daughter Cameron Chenault. With other women, he is the father of another daughter, Frances ("Fran"), and one son, Chaka Fattah Jr., known as "Chip" (31 years old in March 2015).

In 2002, he was named to the PoliticsPA list of Best Dressed Legislators, noting his "excellence in haberdashery."

(Tom Ford suits are expensive...but not when the money isn't yours) 

BTW...You ever notice the suits Rangel wears?

On July 29, 2015, Fatah and four of his associates were indicted for their alleged roles in a racketeering conspiracy involving several schemes that were intended to further the political and financial interests of the defendants and others by, among other tactics, misappropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars of federal, charitable and campaign funds.




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



Washington — A veteran member of the United States House of Representatives from Philadelphia, one of his staff members, a lobbyist and two others were indicted Wednesday by the federal authorities in connection with bribery schemes and the misuse of hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal, charitable and campaign funds.


The representative, Chaka Fattah, a Democrat, spoke with members of the executive and legislative branch in 2008 in order to help the lobbyist get an ambassadorship or appointment to the United States Trade Commission. In exchange for his efforts, the F.B.I. said, Mr. Fattah received $18,000 from the associate that had been disguised “as a payment for a car sale that never actually took place.”


Mr. Fattah, 58, who ran for mayor of Philadelphia in 2007, also took funds from his mayoral and congressional campaigns to repay his son’s college debt, the F.B.I. said. In that scheme, Mr. Fattah and his staff member had his campaign pay a political consulting firm, which in turn made 34 payments on the loan for about $23,000.


Mr. Fattah’s son, Chaka Jr., was indicted by the federal authorities in 2014 on fraud charges. The son has vigorously fought the charges and has contended he was collateral damage as the Justice Department tried to catch his father.


The authorities said that a nonprofit organization that had been started by the father was used to repay $600,000 to a supporter who had given him a loan in connection with his 2007 campaign for mayor.


“To conceal the contribution and repayment scheme, the defendants and others allegedly created sham contracts and made false entries in accounting records, tax returns and campaign finance disclosure statements,” the F.B.I. said.


There was no immediate comment from Mr. Fattah’s office.


Mr. Fattah was first elected to Congress in 1994 after serving as a Pennsylvania state legislator for a dozen years. He is a member of the House Appropriations Committee and the ranking member of its subcommittee on commerce, justice, science and related agencies.


“When elected officials betray the trust and confidence placed in them by the public, the department will do everything we can to ensure that they are held accountable,” said Leslie R. Caldwell, assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Public corruption takes a particularly heavy toll on our democracy because it undermines people’s basic belief that our elected leaders are committed to serving the public interest, not to lining their own pockets.”

Feds: Western New York Man Attempted to Support ISIS Group




I view Muslims no differently than the Japs and Nazis of World War II.

 If this guy wasn't born here and they saw his name was Arafat Nagi wouldn't you think it would raise a red flag before allowing him into the country? They could paste on their forehead:

 [I am a Terrorist] 

and they would still let them in.

 Lackawanna NY must be the breeding ground for terrorists. Anyone remember the Lackawanna 6?

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



BUFFALO, N.Y. — Authorities in western New York say they've arrested a 44-year-old man on a charge of attempting to support the Islamic State group.

U.S. Attorney William Hochul (HOH'-kuhl) said at a news conference Wednesday morning in Buffalo that authorities were tipped off by a resident who heard Arafat Nagi (NAH'-gee) talking about his jihadi beliefs.

Nagi is due in court later Wednesday to face a charge of attempting to support a terrorist organization. Authorities say his social media posts and travel records were checked out as part of the investigation.

Hochul says Nagi traveled twice to Turkey within the past three years with the intention of joining the Islamic State group. He says Nagi purchased military combat gear, including night-vision goggles.

Police executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at Nagi's home in the city of Lackawanna.

The slippery slope






Seattle officials join push for Sharia-compliant mortgages, loans


This is just plain wrong on so may levels. No matter who you are, no matter what your ethnicity, you have to pay interest on a home mortgage loan. But not the Muslims! The Koran prohibits the payment of interest. This sets a precedent for Sharia Law allowing them to get a foot in the door the last thing this country needs. Are these Seattle officials out of the fucking minds? Does anyone in Seattle have the guts to say...We don't give a damn about Sharia Law these are the laws of the good old US of A! Why do they always cave in to the scourge of Islam?

And check out how this 'bending over backwards' policy is supposed to work. 

(highlighted below)

I'm sure it'll work without a hitch.

The banks never get screwed but there are some unanswered questions. Does the bank buy the home for the appraised value? What about a 20/25% down payment? Or is that against Sharia Law too? The profit margin is already figured in. Anyone ever here of 'underwater mortgages'? Sharia Law also states it's okay to lie and cheat an Infidel as long as it advances the cause of Islam.

BTW...If one refuses to bake a cake for gays because of religious convictions they're chastised and nailed to the cross. But a Muslim who doesn't want to pay interest on a loan because of his...no problem.. we'll work around it. 

CAIR (Council on American–Islamic Relations) issued the following statement:

"In a show of gratitude to our liberal friends in Seattle we are today announcing same sex marriages be performed at all our mosques throughout the country on a first come first served basis."

Seattle debates Sharia law-sanctioned housing 



WASHINGTON – A proposal in Seattle meant to increase homeownership among Muslims by offering financing compliant with strict Islamic law -- known as Sharia -- is gaining ground in the latest test for local leaders trying to accommodate diverse religious beliefs.

"We will work to develop new tools for Muslims who are prevented from using conventional mortgage products due to their religious beliefs," Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said during a press conference July 13. 

"Sharia," which comes from the Koran and means "the right path," prohibits the payment of interest -- the primary way lenders earn. Many of Seattle's 30,000 practicing Muslims, therefore, are hard-pressed to find Sharia-compliant financing options when buying homes, making large purchases or starting a business. 

A Seattle housing committee suggested community and business leaders find a way to help them, a push the mayor endorsed. Seattle is just the latest to explore financing options for devout Muslims -- following in the footsteps of Chicago. But the move to offer Sharia-compliant financial products has drawn fire. Critics have warned that it opens the nation's financial system to Islamic radicals and terror groups, providing a mechanism for money laundering.

In 2008, conservative lawmakers in Congress went after American International Group for offering Sharia-compliant insurance programs.

Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., and then-Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., sent AIG then-Chairman Edward Liddy a strongly worded letter that argued Sharia financing could be manipulated and used by terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda and Hamas to launder money.

"You may defend your decision to offer Sharia products and will probably state that they have no real ties to Sharia law, and therefore pose no threat. You are wrong," the lawmakers wrote in the Dec. 18, 2008 letter. "Like Britain, the way to America's legal code is through its wallet, and if Sharia law gains a strong footing in the United States, it will be through Sharia finance and Sharia products."

The Thomas More Law Center, a nonprofit law firm that promotes conservative Christian values, sued then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and the Federal Reserve in 2008 over AIG's actions. The suit argued that it was unconstitutional for AIG to offer Sharia-compliant products because the federal government had bailed out AIG with $170 billion in taxpayer money, and that by promoting Sharia products, it forced Americans to comply with Sharia law. The suit failed.

Some also claim that adjusting existing regulations to benefit one group -- in this case, Muslims -- essentially is reverse discrimination.

Others, however, like Flip Pidot, CEO at American Civics Exchange, believe that loosening financial structures are "a step in the right direction toward a less fettered financial market."

He cautions that if this is a "special carve-out for those who claim Sharia-compliance or if it's in any way subsidized or otherwise made easier for a specific subset ... [the program] becomes more of a problem." But, Pidot told FoxNews.com's "Strategy Room," it's a good idea if this just removes a "barrier" and allows lenders to reach "an unmet section of the would-be homeowners."

A basic building block of Sharia-compliant financing is "murabaha," where "two parties agree to trade at a price equal to the cost plus mark-up or profit," Rice University professor Mahmoud Amin El-Garnal said in a 2014 Council on Foreign Relations report.

Here's how a Sharia-compliant sale might work between a bank and a Muslim homebuyer: The bank agrees to buy and hold clear title to the house, then enters into a contract to sell the house at an agreed-upon mark-up price that includes profit. The buyer agrees to pay the sale price in installments, or one lump sum. The markup rate is calculated to compete with prevailing interest rates, so the buyer's monthly payment is roughly equal to what a traditional lender might charge for a loan that combines principle and interest.

While Seattle leaders want more lenders taking part in the Sharia program, there are some already offering such unconventional financing. Seattle-based Halal Inc. advertises on its website that "instead of starting with a flawed system and trying to 'make a fit,' we took the perfect system ordained by Allah and created a legal framework for it." Multiple calls to Halal Inc. by FoxNews.com for comment were not returned.

The sector has grown to more than $1.6 trillion in assets worldwide over the past three decades. Analysts see the potential for even greater growth as the Muslim population grows in the U.S. and Europe, attracting the attention of other financial heavyweights like HSBC and Goldman Sachs.

"Global Islamic financial assets have soared from less than $600 billion in 2007 to more than $1.3 trillion in 2012, an expansion rooted in the growing pool of financial assets in Muslim-majority countries driven by consumer demand for products that comply with religious codes," according to the 2014 report by the Council on Foreign Relations.
