Update: West Virginia Mom Thwarts Mall Kidnap Attempt, or maybe not!

Update! The mother is changing her story, says there might have been a “cultural misunderstanding.”  See here.
Will keep an eye on this…..
 
Reports so far are sketchy, but last night a mother who was packing a fire arm was able to stop what appears to be a kidnap attempt involving her 5-year old daughter.
Mohammad Fathy Hussein Zayan is under arrest after he allegedly grabbed the young girl by her hair and attempted to drag her away from her mother.

North Carolina County Taxpayers Spent $5000 to Hear Linda Sarsour Vent

Sarsour spoke in Hillsborough on Sunday.  https://chapelboro.com/news/news-around-town/civil-rights-organizer-linda-sarsour-speaking-in-hillsborough-sunday

 
What is going on in North Carolina?  I often hear people from the Northeast say they are heading down to live/retire in the Carolinas to get away from high taxes and liberal government policies, but I would think really long and hard about choosing North Carolina.

The political Leftwing is working day and night, year after year, to change North Carolina (by changing the people!).  When I was writing at Refugee Resettlement Watch I was puzzled by the push for more refugees to be placed there and I even noted that some world famous Islamic terrorists like KSM went to college in the Tar Heel State.
As I noted the other day, North Carolina, even under Donald Trump, is the fifth most ‘welcoming’ refugee resettlement state in the nation.
Now to the news about the Sarsour event, put on by the taxpayer-funded ‘Human Relations Commission’……

Pope Reignites the Wall-is-Immoral Meme on Return from Morocco

Reuters has a story yesterday about the Pope, although not naming Donald Trump by name, speaking critically of any world leader who builds walls to keep out migrants.

Now that is a big beautiful wall!

 
However, it isn’t the first time the socialist Pope voiced his opposition to walls and spoke instead in favor of social justice to solve the ills of the world.
But, what is so galling with his view is the fact that the Vatican has a wall!  The Vatican wall was built to repel Muslim pirates (invaders!) centuries ago!
Never forget that one of the things the pirates were after in Europe were white slaves!

Local Refugee Offices Closing as Trump Administration Keeps Refugee Numbers Low

Of course there isn’t much to cheer about as you know tens of thousands of migrants are streaming across our southern border, most claiming they are refugees seeking asylum.

Migrants streaming to America
Refugee admission numbers pale in comparison to the numbers coming across our border and claiming refugee status. 

 
The flow that has definitely slowed is the US Refugee Admissions Program refugees that are selected initially by the United Nations, followed by US State Department approval and resettlement by one of nine federal resettlement contractors who distribute them to most states. (One of many posts on the contractors at RRW is here.)
The work of the contractors is almost completely funded by you.
Office closures reported this week are the result of the federal slowdown in admissions (slowdown in money to the contractors) and because these resettlement offices could not find enough local financial support to keep their doors open, a fact that demonstrates one vital point:

There is not enough support by the public generally for refugee resettlement!

Before I get to the two office closures I heard about this week, one in Ohio, the other in Virginia, here is a bit of information about where we are at the 6-month-mark for FY19.
(Fiscal year 2019 runs from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019.)

Tina Tchen Takes Center Stage again, this Time in the Jussie Smollet Hoax on America Case

I have to admit I had never heard of Tina Tchen until this past week when we learned she had been brought in to try to clean up (cover up?) the misdeeds at the largest hate group in the country—the Southern Poverty Law Center.  (See my story here)

“Fixer” Tina Tchen, a member in good standing of the Obamas’ Chicago inner circle!

So my ears perked up when I heard her name again, this time because of her involvement in helping to get charges dropped against the very privileged Jussie Smollett.
Frankly, it is special deals for special people that conservative voters won’t forget in 2020.
First thing this morning I hit the computer to see if anyone was pointing out Tina Tchen’s rising star among the Democrat elite and sure enough the intrepid Michelle Malkin posted a great piece overnight!
