“Elaborately Planned” Caravan Brings Human Traffickers & Violent Gangbangers to Guatemala ~ According to this report from Judicial Watch, and contrary to Barack Obama’s recent description, the majority of caravan members these are not impoverished, malnourished refugees ~
“MS-13 gang members have been detained and coyotes (human smugglers) are joining the march with clients who pay to get smuggled into the United States,” a Guatemalan official told Judicial Watch. People from Asian countries waiting to get smuggled into the U.S. through Central America are also integrating with poor Hondurans in the caravan, a high-level Guatemalan government source confirmed. Among them are nationals of Bangladesh, a south Asian Islamic country that’s well known as a recruiting ground for terrorist groups such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). “There are lots of dirty businesses associated with this,” Guatemalan authorities told Judicial Watch. “There’s lots of human trafficking.” […]
There are rest points along the route with food, water and shelter for the migrants as well as medical care in some areas. “It’s very strategic and extremely organized,” a Guatemalan government source told Judicial Watch. “It is very complex, not a simple march. There is nothing spontaneous about it.”

The Democrats’ never-ending meltdown ~ Excellent assessment from Tammy Bruce
Their latest accusations, attitude and lack of any coherent position on policy for this country, proves not just the chaotic incompetence now destroying that side of the aisle, but makes clear their actual malevolence toward the citizen. After all, we are the ones who fired them, and we are the ones they are determined to punish.
High school vice principal is dragged and kicked in an attack by students as he tried to break up fight, and bystanders laugh and clap while filming the brawl for Snapchat ~ Whew. Good thing we took prayer out of the schools 50 years ago, when gum chewing was all we had to worry about ~

‘Safety is our priority and we’re always looking into how we can support students so they don’t resort to violence.’
Great. That’ll work.

James Cromwell was speaking at another one of those tedious award ceremonies that Hollywood is endlessly throwing for themselves ~
He continued his political screed from the podium, where he spoke about the importance of the midterm elections: if Democrats prevail, “We will cut through the corruption, [and] we won’t have to do what comes next, which is either a non-violent revolution or a violent one, because this has got to end.”
What exactly is “this” ?

Saudi Arabia has arrested 17 Filipinos for attending a Halloween party… but the Filipino embassy fears that the charges relate to the fact that there were men and women at the party […]

“When you have a breakdown in the rule of law, and you take away private-property rights, it’s not unusual to have a pattern of destabilization,” he said. “When you undermine property rights, it undermines stability.” (Kevin Hassett, chairman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers)
New Evidence Suggests Planned Parenthood Lied To Congress About Aborted Baby Part Profits ~ Last week the Center for Medical Progress submitted evidence to a federal judge which suggests the abortion provider mislead Congress about income for the sale of aborted baby body parts during a 2015 hearing ~
What will it take to get Congress to defund Planned Parenthood? Illegal activity? Lying to Congress? The organization has been shown to procure and sell aborted baby parts.

The organization has been referred to the FBI and DOJ for investigation — after multiple committee investigations — and now it looks like they might have lied about their profits during their original congressional testimony.
