I find it fascinating that so-called "far right" populist parties are more and more rejecting antisemitism and openly supporting Israel, even as parties on the left are making Jew- and Israel-hatred central to their platforms.
[IsraelTimes] Swedish far-right party Sweden Democrats announced Monday it had kicked out one of its members of parliament for anti-Semitism.
Anna Hagwall had in September proposed legislation to end state subsidies for media outlets that she said favor the Bonnier media group, whose controlling family has Jewish roots.
"For many years the Sweden Democrats have been working resolutely to end the currents of anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories in society," the party’s chairman Jimmie Akesson said in a statement. "Through her statements, Anna Hagwall prejudiced this work and the party’s image.
"Anna wants legislation in which people are divided by ethnic appearances. We don’t support that."
The Sweden Democrats (SD) have been trying to distance themselves from some of their most radical elements in order broaden their electoral base.
Hagwell had sent an email to the Aftonblat newspaper in September trying to justify her position.
"It should not be allowed for any family, ethnic group or enterprise to control directly or indirectly more than five percent of media," she said.
The Bonnier group owns 175 companies, including television stations, newspapers, magazines and book publishers, and operates in 15 countries.
Pushed by her party to resign, Hagwall had refused, but did promise not to stand for re-election in 2018.
But that wasn’t enough to appease her party’s top brass.
Officially, the anti-immigration SD espouses a zero tolerance policy towards xenophobia, racism and anti-Semitism.
But it has a fringe group of neo-Nazi supporters undermining the SD’s attempts to clean up its image.
In October, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven branded the far-right party "nazi and racist."
But the SD’s popularity continues to grow at a time when right-wing populist parties are enjoying a resurgence across parts of Europe.
The last opinion poll carried out by the national institute of statistics gave the SD a predicted 17.4 percent of the vote at next year’s elections, up 4.6% from 2014 when they picked up a best-ever 49 of the 349 parliamentary seats.

Wait a minute. Can we separate antisemitism from "state subsidies for media outlets"? Why should any media outlet get a state subsidy? Oh, that's right. It's Sweden.

[Democratic Leader] "Dr. Ben Carson is a disconcerting and disturbingly unqualified choice to lead a department as complex and consequential as Housing and Urban Development.
"Our country deserves a HUD Secretary with the relevant experience to protect the rights of homeowners and renters, particularly in low income and minority communities, and to ensure that everyone in our country can have access to safe and affordable housing without facing discrimination or homelessness.
"There is no evidence that Dr. Carson brings the necessary credentials to hold a position with such immense responsibilities and impact on families and communities across America."

What will be interesting is how Ben deals with a lot of HUD occupents who don't want to get a job and would rather live off the taxpayer. Being that he is a self made man watching him try to "help" those people will be interesting.

Well I guess we'll just have to confirm Dr. Carson and see how he does right Nan??
That was you attitude for Obamacare. Just do the opposite of what she says and things will be fine.

cuz Julian Castro was soooo qualified at age 40 as a 5 yr Mayor of San Antonio, with the "right values". F*CK her in the ear
" In July 2016, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel issued finding that Castro had violated the Hatch Act by commenting on the 2016 campaign while giving an interview in an official capacity; Castro admitted the error and ordered his team to improve training on the Hatch Act."

I'd love to hear her bring her concerns to the confirmation hearings and compare Carson against previous occupants of the job.

He hasn't run anything like this as far as I know and therefore doesn't have experience.
However, he is a sharp guy and at this point would do worse, and most likely a hell of a lot better than the current corruptocrats that populate Washington now.

I don't think they have ever had to try and confirm an outsider before since he is not a politician or bureaucrat and has a IQ. The Dims will no doubt be havin to Google what his answers mean.

But...but...but...he's pro life, dammit!!! That disqualifies him from walking on the face of the earth as far as Pelosi is concerned.
But, really, his job at HUD should be quite simple. Fire everybody. Sell off all the assets. Shut it down and save the taxpayers of this country several billion dollars.

Yes, because her district in San Francisco is such a model blueprint for "Housing" and proper "Urban Development"...

Trump should have put Milo up for the position with the intent that he'd have fun at the confirmation and then step aside when he got bored screwing with the Democrats.
At that point put Carson up for the position and they'd be slobbering for his peaceful demeanor.
Throughout the 2016 presidential election, President-elect Donald Trump warned repeatedly that his opponent, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, would attempt to undermine the voting process.
According to some critics, one election observer has stumbled on the bombshell proof that Clinton attempted to rig the election they’d been waiting for.
During the controversial Wisconsin election recount forced by Green Party candidate Jill Stein initiated Friday, one observer noticed a number of small stickers that were torn on the election machines -- and the implications are alarming.
A volunteer election observer going by the name Wendy reported that in St. Croix County, Wisconsin, five of the nine machines being used in the recount have tampered seals.
She posted four pictures as evidence to prove it -- two of the broken seals, and the corresponding machine’s serial numbers.
This isn’t the first time Wisconsin voting results have been highly controversial, either. In April, Trump supporters accused the establishment of rigging the primary against their candidate.
Additionally, there remains widespread belief among Trump supporters that the president-elect received a greater share of votes than was reported.
In Wisconsin, Trump won by a razor thin 0.8%.
It depends how one calculates it, I suppose. Mr. Trump got 27,257 votes more than Mrs. Clinton, which the way I calculated it is 1.94% more. The recount doesn't seem to be changing those numbers much.
If voting machines were indeed tampered with, as this election recount observer’s pictures imply, that belief gains significant credibility.
Once President Trump has been sworn in, the Republican governor of Wisconsin can get on with cleaning up the voter rolls and recertifying all the voting machines.

Really. What do democrats have to say about voter fraud other than they pay for and sponsor 90% of it?
And this bring moslem to America sham program only compells me to know that democrats are not democrats at all. They are Damn Fascist marxist idiots that live fairy tales while the populace looks at them like lobotomized parrots.
Absolutely nothing the left has done for the world has ever been good. NOTHING at all. Ever.
They are Universal f#ck^ps eternally, or at least they will find out when they DIE.

Bet it was kids with parents voting. Kids can't resist peeling off super sticky property control or SNz. It's also fun to take the sticker and cover the LED on the mouse. Laff riot!

St. Croix County, Wisconsin is JUST east of Minneapolis/St. Paul, the same area that 'found' enough votes during the recount for Al Franken to win Senate race in 2009.
Would put it past the folks in the area to 'coordinate'.

The problem with voting machines is that unless you personally work on all the hardware, software and firmware that goes into it you really have no idea how it works. There is all kinds of room for mischief. But everybody knows how paper ballots work. They're simple and foolproof. Well, mostly foolproof. I'll take my chances with the hanging chads.

Nice try Abu Strawman. Read their bio. They're one of the myriad of new Trump propaganda sites. If you hadn't noticed it's been quite a booming cottage industry lately. And as far as putrid sludge chummed out of this one...well...it's downright explosive I tells ya.
What stinks to me is that when there is evidence of irregularities, the votes are NOT subject to recount. If you aren't going to recount them, then shouldn't the initial count be thrown out? Weird rule. If you stuff the ballot box, then fudge the book and there's no recount. Massive fraud in Michigan. Probably Urban Meyer's fault.
#11
I don't care what their bio is. I wanna know if they're reporting facts instead of the spin I hear on ABCNBCCBSCNN and if so, why are the appropriate authorities not investigating? Who is this Wendy person. Are the pictures she took for real? Can the authorities track down the machines and find out why the seals were broken? Send Diane Sawyer out there and get some answers. If it's fake news Diane will be sure to debunk it tout suite. Then ABC can have a field day discrediting the Horn. But you'll never know for sure because Diane had a few cocktails with her lunch and she's taking a nap.

The report and phots come from Jill Stein trying to justify the Wisconsin recount, so the question is whether this website is carrying water for the Greens.
According to Snopes, which is probably not in Dr. Stein's corner, St. Croix officials looked into it. Snopes has their statement as part of their discussion of the report here.

[Front Page] Makes sense. This way Obama doesn't have to waste his time by continuing to commute the sentences of individual drug dealers, as he's been doing, instead he can offer a big broad spectrum pardon for all the oppressed criminals.
Jesse Jackson Jr. urged President Barack Obama Thursday to pardon millions of former prison inmates...
In his open letter to the president, which Jackson posted to his Facebook page early Thursday morning, the former congressman claimed that "the great 2016 pardoning of the masses will create a resounding echo in history and will mark you as the greatest Christian president ever to serve."
"Truly, Mr. President, with a presidential pardon equally monumental to, and greater in scope than, the Emancipation Proclamation the legacy of Barack Hussein Obama II will be one of faith, hope and love," he added.
Jesse Jackson's noble call though is inhibited only by the fact that this pardon would apply to him stealing campaign funds to buy a Michael Jackson fedora.
