🇬🇧 __***Doctor Who Embraces Social Justice***__ <:REEE:281041868056166401>
*https://goo.gl/vaMRVk* (The Telegraph)

BBC's Doctor Who, notable for being the longest running TV program at 54 years, in today's episode entitled *Thin Ice*, members of the audience were shocked with comments made by the characters regarding race. While the show is no stranger to having British-African characters, such as Noel Clarke in 2005 and Freema Agyeman in 2006, Pearl Mackie, who plays his new companion, has brought quite the controversy.

Pearl Mackie shocked viewers in the previous two episodes as an openly lesbian black cafeteria worker, complaining about heteronormativity, reparations and the wage gap. However, comments made in tonightss episode lead some to believe that the show is being thrust in the same direction as the Marvel comic franchise.

Whilst walking through a market in 1854 England, her character comments: *Regency England’s a bit more black than they show in the movies*
To which the Doctor replies:
*So was Jesus.* ***History’s a whitewash.***

Later in the episode, the show **condones physical violence against racists**, where after the Doctor suggested that one had to act with reason and emotion, only to punch a British Lord in the face for making a comment about his companion's skin, in a similar manner to the assault on Richard Spencer.

Is this the end of Dr. Who?

🇺🇸 __***Trump invites Duterte to White House***__ 🇵🇭
*https://goo.gl/QjyX6v* (NYT)
God Emperor Donald Trump has invited Rodrigo 'Kill Drug Addicts' Duterte to the White House today after a phone call on Saturday, states Filipeno presidential spokesman Ernie Abella. Additionally, it was cited that trump was looking forward to visiting the Philippines in Novemba for the East Asia Summit.

*"The discussion that transpired between the presidents was warm, with President Trump expressing his understanding and appreciation of the challenges facing the Philippine President, especially on the matter of dangerous drugs,"* - Abella said in an official statement. This is a stark contrast to the Philippine President's relationship with Obama, whom he once told to *"go to hell"*.

In other news, on Sunday the Philippines removed mention of recent conflicts in the South China Sea from the ASEAN document. This follows three chinese warships docking at Davao city on the same day.

*FRANCE24*

Macron, a pro-EU candidate who topped the first round of voting in France’s two-part presidential election, is __tipped to
win__ a run-off against eurosceptic far-right leader Marine Le Pen on May 7. He told several regional newspapers in an
interview that he would pursue a __tougher line with Poland and other countries which he believed were infringing EU
principles__.

*“When the rights and values of the European Union are not respected, I want sanctions to be taken,”* he said. Poland’s
nationalist-minded government has been embroiled in a dispute with the EU for over a year after a series of reforms
which according to Brussels weaken the independence of the judiciary and risk undermining democratic checks and
balances.

The European Commission has so far stopped short of any further action, and is seeking the views of member states.
*“In the three months after I’m elected, there will be a decision on Poland,”* Macron was quoted as saying in an interview
with several regional newspapers, including Ouest-France and the Voix du Nord.

*“You cannot have a European Union which argues over every single decimal place on the issue of budgets with each
country, and which, when you have an __EU member which acts like Poland or Hungary on issues linked to universities and
learning__, or refugees, or fundamental values, decides to do nothing.”*

Two conservative journalists have sparked outcry on social media by making what some have interpreted as a white
supremacist hand symbol at a recent visit to the White House.

Freelance journalist Mike Cernovich and Cassandra Fairbanks, a reporter for Russian news outlet Sputnik, posed for a
picture behind the podium in the White House briefing room. In the photo, they are making a hand sign that can be used
to signify *“white power.”*

*“Just two people doing a white power hand gesture in the White House,”* Fusion senior reporter Emma Roller tweeted,
alongside a screenshot of the picture.

Ms Fairbanks, however, claims the hand gesture was not a reference to the white power movement. She pointed to her
partial Puerto Rican heritage as evidence that she is not a white supremacist. *“White power!!!!!!! Except I'm Puerto
Rican. Can it be PR power?!”* she tweeted.

*“Allegations of prostitution and pedophilia, and allegations that those crimes were somehow covered up or not looked

🇺🇸 __***New York Times Labels Salad Racist. SALAD.***__ 👌
*http://archive.is/i2txS*
*THE DAILY WIRE*

In an opinion piece titled Why Is Asian Salad Still On The Menu?, by Bonnie Tsui, it is argued that the Asian Salad
reeks of cultural appropriation by racist Westerners who often use offensive puns and stereotypes to name such
Americanized cuisine while fetishizing Asian culture.

Tsui's anti-salad rant was triggered by the *"Asian Emperor Salad"* listed on a menu at a San Francisco joint she was
dining at last Friday.

*"I tried to identify exactly what that was,"* wrote Tsui. *"I made a halfhearted joke to my husband about just which Asian
emperor this salad was honoring. I thought about its grand imprecision, which irritated me as a Chinese-American. And I
wondered, who cooked up this thing?"*

Not Asians, apparently, and that's racist.

*"When the Asian salad fad exploded, something that was cooked up by non-Asians became, well, 'Asian' in the popular
imagination. A single Cheesecake Factory, Rainforest Cafe or Applebee’s could sell 500 Asian salads a week,"* complains
the NYT columnist.

*"The casual racism of the Asian salad stems from the idea of the exotic — who is and isn’t American is caught up
wholesale in its creation,"* she writes. *"This use of 'Oriental' and 'Asian' is rooted in the wide-ranging, 'all look
same' stereotypes of Asian culture that most people don’t really perceive as being racist. It creates a kind of blind
spot."*

🇫🇷 __***Facing election defeat, France's Le Pen flip-flops on euro***__ 🇫🇷
*http://archive.is/0OuxU*
*REUTERS*

French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen renewed her attack on the European Union's euro single currency on Sunday, a
day after saying that ditching it might not be her top priority. The National Front (FN) candidate has a week to
overturn the opinion poll lead of pro-EU centrist Emmanuel Macron before the run-off vote between the two on May 7.

Voter surveys show Macron winning next Sunday with 59-60 percent of the vote, and Le Pen's plans to quit the EU and the
euro are among the least popular policies in her protectionist, anti-immigration electoral platform.

Analysts were not surprised on Saturday, therefore, when a new FN policy document pushed ditching the euro down the list
of her priorities. They said it was in part aimed at older voters who might be worried about the potential impact on the
value of their pensions of a return to the franc.

*"She needs the votes of the over 60s who are terrified by the prospect of a euro exit,"* said Saxo Bank economist
Christopher Dembik. *"This is a return to reality. The euro exit is pushed far into the future."*

FN policy coordinator Jean Messiha concurred. *"There was this fear expressed by a certain number of French people that
Marine has understood,"* he told Reuters.

Despite the softening in her stance though, Le Pen made clear in a video published on newspaper Le Parisien's website on
Sunday that she was still intent on leaving the euro eventually.

*AP*

Top Capitol Hill negotiators are reporting progress toward a long-sought agreement on a massive $1 trillion-plus
spending bill that would fund the day-to-day operations of virtually every federal agency through Oct. 1.

Aides say lawmakers closely involved in the talks have worked through many sticking points in hopes of making the
measure public as early as Sunday night. The House and Senate have until Friday at midnight to pass the measure to avert
a government shutdown.

The catchall spending bill would be the first major piece of bipartisan legislation to advance during President Donald
Trump's short tenure in the White House. It denies Trump a win on his oft-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border,
but gives him a down payment on his request to strengthen the military.

It also rejects White House budget director Mick Mulvaney's proposals to cut popular programs such as funding medical
research and community development grants.

Democratic votes will be needed to pass the measure, so even though Republicans control both the White House and
Congress, Democrats have been actively involved in the talks, which appear headed to produce a lowest-common-denominator
measure that **won't look too much different than the deal that could have been struck on President Barack Obama's watch
last year**.

The German Interior Minister has expressed support for the idea of introducing a *“dominant culture”* for German society
that would define public life and serve as a guideline for the integration of migrants.

*“Those, who feel confident about their own culture, are strong,”* Thomas de Maiziere said in an opinion piece published
in Bild daily’s weekend edition.

He also said he would like to *“stimulate a discussion about a dominant culture for Germany with some theses”* presenting
a ten-point plan outlining his vision of what he described as a set of core features that define the nature of German
society.

According to the minister, German culture manifests itself in a set of specific behavioral patterns which include
handshakes upon greetings or revealing one’s identity when making an acquaintance.

*“We are an open society. We show our faces. We do not [wear] burqa,”* the minister said in his piece, referring to the
full-face Muslim veil which has become a controversial subject in Germany recently.

He went on to emphasize the importance of ensuring general education by saying that, in Germany, education is *“not only
an instrument but also a value.”* The minister also said that the idea of personal success and meritocratic principles
are also important in Germany. *“We encourage [personal] accomplishments. Good performance and quality bring prosperity.
The idea of personal success is what has made our land strong,”* de Maiziere said.

Last summer, Ruslan Sokolovsky entered the imposing Church of All Saints in Yekaterinburg, a city about 1,000 miles east
of Moscow. The Russian Orthodox church holds special meaning for some, because it was supposedly built on the site where
the last czar of Russia, Nicholas II, was murdered along with his family.

**“But, you know, I didn't catch the rarest Pokémon that you could find there — Jesus,”** Sokolovsky, an outspoken atheist,
said at the end of a video he recorded that day. *“They said it doesn't even exist, so I'm not really surprised.”*

After Russian officials discovered the footage, Sokolovsky was detained last fall and charged with inciting religious
hatred. On Friday, the last day of the trial, prosecutors in Russia requested a sentence of 3½ years in prison for
Sokolovsky.

**“I may be an idiot, but I am by no means an extremist,”** said Sokolovsky in a statement, according to the Russian news
site Meduza. He compared his suggested prison sentence, for joking about the Orthodox Church, to those who had been
imprisoned for decades under Joseph Stalin for joking about communism.

Sokolovsky's critics say it is under this law that Sokolovsky's arrest was justified.

**“The problem is that [he] did it on purpose, even though there were no Pokémon there,”** a priest in the Yekaterinburg diocese
told Global News last fall. *“But it did not matter. It was a reason to insult.”*

This year’s May Day demonstrations have the potential to be a rallying cry for the wider anti-authoritarian left, with
calls circulating for strikes and mass demonstrations that build on the momentum from events like the International
Women’s Strike and the Day Without Immigrants.

May Day represents an opportunity to generalize these various struggles and to build new bonds of solidarity amongst
radical anti-capitalists and anti-fascists in resistance. New York City is a particularly meaningful place for actions
to occur as it is Trump’s hometown and business headquarters.

Recognizing this, the Metropolitan Anarchist Coordinating Council (MACC) calls on comrades in the New York City area to
join us and march in solidarity with immigrants and workers this May Day.

The march **starts at Union Square** and proceeds south to **Foley Square**. This march happens every year, sometimes with and
sometimes without a permit, but always with a large police presence. This year’s march is unpermitted. **We will meet at
the NW corner of Union Square at 3:30 pm prior to marching. Look for the maypole.**

We call for a massive bloc to march in support of the communities who are most vulnerable to attacks by the emboldened
and growing far-right movement. We march to support their voices. As the far-right continues to organize we must counter
them by engaging with and lending aid to those targeted by their hate. If cops and klan go hand in hand, we hold the
hands of those whom they intend to do harm.

*https://archive.is/bKXyl*
*WSJ*

Chinese state-backed hackers have recently targeted South Korean entities involved in deploying a U.S. missile-defense
system, says an American cybersecurity firm, despite Beijing’s denial of retaliation against Seoul over the issue.

In recent weeks, two cyberespionage groups that the firm linked to Beijing’s military and intelligence agencies have
launched a variety of attacks against South Korea’s government, military, defense companies and a big conglomerate, John
Hultquist, director of cyberespionage analysis at FireEye Inc., said in an interview.

The California-based firm, which counts South Korean agencies as clients, including one that oversees internet security,
wouldn’t name the targets.

While FireEye and other cybersecurity experts say Chinese hackers have long targeted South Korea, they note a rise in
the number and intensity of attacks in the weeks since South Korea said it would deploy Terminal High-Altitude Area
Defense, or Thaad, a sophisticated missile-defense system aimed at defending South Korea from a North Korean missile
threat.

China opposes Thaad, saying its radar system can reach deep into its own territory and compromise its security. South
Korea and the U.S. say Thaad is purely defensive. The first components of the system arrived in South Korea last month
and have been a key issue in the current presidential campaign there.

*USA TODAY*

Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators are expected to take to the streets Monday in massive May Day events across the
USA mostly protesting the policies of President Trump.

May Day — also known as International Worker’s Day — has spawned protests around the globe in past years highlighting
workers’ rights. But on Monday, the impetus for the U.S. marches span from immigrants' rights to LGBT awareness to
police misconduct.

“There’s a real galvanization of all the groups this year,” said Fernanda Durand of CASA in Action, which will lead a
march of about 10,000 people for immigrants' rights through downtown Washington. **“Our presence in this country is being
questioned by Donald Trump. We are tired of being demonized and scapegoated. We’ve had enough.”**

Durand’s protest is part of the Rise Up umbrella movement that promises 259 events in more than 200 cities in 41 states
focusing on immigrants' rights, she said.

Another widespread effort, dubbed Beyond the Movement, will feature a collection of racial-justice groups and include
protests and marches in more than 50 cities, from Portland, Ore., to Miami.

Recent moves by Ms Le Pen to appeal to a wider audience seem to be working as she has removed herself as the leader of

Pollster Harris Interactive, who correctly predicted the result of the first round, revealed a six points slip by Mr

Ms Le Pen said: “The country Mr Macron wants is no longer France; it's a space, a wasteland, a trading room where there
are only consumers and producers.”

The latest polls were conducted prior to the announcement that defeated first round presidential candidate Nicolas

Police told the dpa news agency that about 150 demonstrators who had attended a protest elsewhere started causing
problems in Apolda's town center after getting off a train Monday afternoon.

Authorities say they ignored police warnings and then started throwing stones and firecrackers at officers.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

firecrackers along their route.

The "Revolutionary May 1 Demonstration" was not registered with authorities as required, but **police decided to tolerate

Turkey had declared Taksim Square off-limits to May Day demonstrations, and major trade unions marked the day with

Still, small groups tried to reach the square, leading to scuffles with police.

Taksim holds a symbolic value for Turkey's labor movement. In 1977, 34 people were killed there during a May Day event

A May Day march in Paris has turned violent less than a week before the runoff French presidential election.

A few hundred protesters started **throwing gasoline bombs** and other objects at police at the front end of what started as
a peaceful union march in the French capital on Monday.

**Police responded with tear gas and truncheons**. Riot police clubbed some protesters who were pushed up against a wall on
a tree-lined avenue.

The violent protesters were not carrying any union or election paraphernalia.

They appeared to be from the same fringe groups that have targeted anti-government protests in the past.

The union activists are still marching separately, although police are interrupting to check bags for gasoline bombs.

Two May Day marches have been held in Moscow, both drawing from nostalgia for Soviet times.

First, a crowd that police estimated at about 130,000 people paraded across the cobblestones of Red Square, the site of
Soviet-era May Day celebrations.

The tradition was revived in 2014 after Russia's annexation of Crimea and is seen as part of President Vladimir Putin's
efforts to stoke patriotic feelings.

The second march was led by the Communists, who over the years have tried to keep the May Day tradition alive. Their
march skirted Red Square and drew several thousand people.

Many carried red flags with the Soviet hammer and sickle, but there was little honoring of Soviet leaders Vladimir Lenin
and Josef Stalin compared to previous years.

🇺🇸 __***Transgender Inmates In California Now Mandated Special Underwear And Pretty Jewelry! ***__ 🏳️‍🌈

*THE DAILY WIRE*

California is the place to be if you're a criminal. **Not only do you, a convicted criminal, get your sex-change surgery
paid for by tax-payers** if you "identify" as transgender, but you are now mandated to receive your own special flattering
undergarments and access to pretty jewelry, hairbrushes and hair accessories!

A federal judge made all this possible on Friday via an order. The Associated Press reports:

U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar issued the order in a federal lawsuit that earlier led California to become the first
state to provide taxpayer-funded sex reassignment surgery to an inmate.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation also agreed as part of the suit by Shiloh Quine to give
transgender inmates access to certain products. Quine, 57, had sex reassignment surgery in January and was
transferred from a men's facility to a women's prison in Chowchilla. She is serving a life sentence for murder,
kidnapping and robbery.

Prison officials are said to be "reviewing" Judge Tigar's ruling.

Transgender inmates in the state were **already awarded special goodies their non-trans counterparts were not**, says the
AP, but the Friday ruling **"expanded that list to include pajamas, nightgowns, robes and scarves."**

Some of these goods, such as special undergarments, were already offered via commissary to trans "male" inmates in
women's prison; Judge Tigar felt this was unfair for the criminals who couldn't afford the goods.

🇮🇱 __***Hamas presents new charter accepting a Palestine based on 1967 borders ***__ 🇵🇸

*THE GUARDIAN*

Hamas has unveiled a new political programme softening its stance on Israel by accepting the idea of a Palestinian state
in territories occupied by Israel in the six-day war of 1967.

The new document states the Islamist movement it is not seeking war with the Jewish people – only with Zionism that
drives the occupation of Palestine.

The new document also insists that Hamas is a not a revolutionary force that seeks to intervene in other countries, a
commitment that is likely to be welcomed by other states such as Egypt.

The policy platform was announced by the head of the movement’s political bureau, Khaled Meshal, at a press conference
in Doha. “Hamas advocates the liberation of all of Palestine but is ready to support the state on 1967 borders without
recognising Israel or ceding any rights,” he said.

The move comes just two days before a White House meeting between Donald Trump and Mahmoud Abbas, whose Fatah movement
remains at odds with Hamas.

But according to diplomatic sources, the new document has been in preparation for years and has been the subject of
intense debate between the various Hamas factions in Gaza, in exile and in prison.

At least 14 have been arrested during a May Day rally in New York after blocking the entrances to banks JP Morgan and
Wells Fargo. Thousands of people are taking to the streets across the US as part of May Day demonstrations.

People are rallying to protest the Trump administration’s immigration policies that have ICE raids all across the
country, and supporting workers rights that have led to mass arrests.

In New York City, hundreds of labor and immigrant advocates gathered on Monday morning in midtown Manhattan's Bryant
Park before marching to J P Morgan and blocking the entrance to the doors, where they unfurled a banner than read "Your
profits, our pain."

Organizers like Make the Road, said banks are some of the corporations who are making profits from the building of
private prisons and immigration detention centers used to hold detainees.

NYPD arrested at least 12 people, according to Daniel Altschuler, the director of civic engagement and research at Make
The Road.

🇬🇧 __***Terror suspect at centre of alleged bomb plot 'tore down neighbour's England flag and threatened one with a hammer'***__ 🇬🇧

*DAILY MAIL*

The key suspect at the centre of an alleged Islamist bomb plot foiled by police threatened neighbours with a hammer and
once tore an England flag down from a wall, it was claimed last night.

Mohamed Amoudi, 21, one of the six people held by armed police last Thursday over an alleged ‘active’ bomb plot to
target London landmarks, was described yesterday as a nightmare neighbour who was once seen waving a hammer at a
resident.

Details about the Yemeni-born suspect emerged yesterday as police revealed that the 21-year-old woman who was shot in
the raid in Willesden Green, North West London – and said to be related to Amoudi – had been released from hospital.

The young woman – yesterday wrongly reported in one newspaper to have been pregnant – was believed to be unarmed when a
team of balaclava-wearing armed police opened fire, shooting her at least once during the raid when she reportedly
defied their instructions to ‘freeze’.

Bleeding heavily, the 21-year-old described as **a white English woman wearing a burka**, was dragged screaming into the
street following the shooting at 7pm, shouting: ‘Don’t touch my body’.

*THE DAILY CALLER*

A Florida woman is facing prostitution charges after offering to trade oral sex for $25 and some Chicken McNuggets from
McDonald’s to an undercover officer.

Alex Direeno, 22, is being held in Manatee County Jail on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and outstanding
warrants over the incident Tuesday April 25. Direeno allegedly waved down an undercover officer with the Manatee County
Sheriff’s Office as she walked out of a Marathon gas station in Bradenton, Florida, reports Miami Herald.

After getting in a car and driving away from the gas station with Direeno, the officer, a detective with the sheriff’s
office Special Investigations Division, told Direeno he wanted oral sex and would pay her $25. They haggled over the
price for a few minutes and settled on a fee of $25 and Chicken McNuggets.

**The number of Chicken McNuggets Direeno requested is not specified in the police report.**

🇺🇸 __***Angry Trump Kicks CBS Reporter Out Of Oval Office***__ 🇺🇸
*http://archive.is/gy19o*
*WASHINGTON FREE BEACON*

Having been pestered by CBS reporter John Dickerson over what great advice President Obama had given him (and his
wiretapping accusations); President Trump's frustration briefly boiled over as he turned his back and remarked "ok,
that's enough, thank you, goodbye," gesturing for the reporter to leave The Oval Office...

As Washington Free Beacon reports, the exchange, which aired Monday, began when Dickerson asked Trump if his predecessor
had given him any advice since taking office. Trump said Obama had been "very nice" initially but since then there had
been "difficulties."

"Words are less important to me than deeds, and you saw what happened with surveillance," he said, calling it
"inappropriate."

Trump was referring to a claim he made on March 4 that Obama tapped his phones during the presidential campaign. There
is no evidence to substantiate the claim, but Trump has never retracted it.

When Dickerson pressed for details about the surveillance, Trump responded, "You can figure that out yourself."

The reason he asked, Dickerson said, was that Trump called Obama "sick" and "bad" in the March 4 tweet-storm that kicked
off the saga.

Trump finally waved his hand at Dickerson, saying, "OK, that's enough. Thank you. Thank you very much."

🇺🇸 __***FBI translator married ISIS terrorist she was supposed to investigate: report***__ <:REEE:281041868056166401>
*http://archive.is/dvZYK*
*NY POST*

An FBI translator who was assigned to investigate a bloodthirsty ISIS terrorist wound up falling head-over-heels in love
with the man — and married him instead, a report says.

Daniela Greene, 38, was apparently so lovestruck by the German-born jihadist that **she left her husband in the US to be
with him in war-torn Syria**, and then lied to the feds about her whereabouts, according to CNN.

Denis Cuspert — **a wannabe rapper-turned-ISIS pitchman** — reportedly became the apple of her eye sometime in 2014,
despite having a notorious penchant for violence.

He has been spotted showing off the terror group’s savagery in countless execution videos, some of which show him
holding severed heads, CNN reports.

Roughly three years after joining the FBI as a linguist, Greene was assigned to the Detroit bureau in Jan. 2014 and
asked to probe Cuspert.

By June, she was already smitten by the tatted-up terrorist and making plans to be with him in the Middle East. They
reportedly tied the knot in Syria sometime that month.

**“I was weak and didn’t know how to handle anything anymore,”** she wrote in one message on July 8. **“I really made a
mess of things this time.”**

Greene was arrested immediately upon her return to the states and later agreed to cooperate with authorities. She
pleaded guilty to making false statements involving international terrorism in Dec. 2014 and was released from prison in
Aug. 2016 after serving a surprising two-year sentence.

🇦🇺 __***Australian Schools Launch Waves of ‘Feminist Clubs’ to Teach Kids About ‘White Male Privilege’***__ <:REEE:281041868056166401>
*http://archive.is/oisGS*
*HEATSTREET*

Australian schools are rolling out a widespread program of “feminist collective” clubs where kids are taught that
“white, male privilege” and “hegemonic masculinity” are the root of domestic violence.

Millions of dollars of public money has been piled into the initiative, which began in 2013 and has rapidly expanded
since.

The first “collective” was established by Fitzroy High School in Melbourne in 2013.

According to its website, its sessions “revealed a sense of anger and frustration about gender inequality”. It has
developed its own teaching resource named “Fightback” that has since been adopted by certain government programs.

Other schools have since followed suit the case in creating their own feminist clubs that are offered to students as
part of the school curriculum activity, The Australian reported.

Teachers in the state of Victoria, meanwhile, are actively encouraged to develop such clubs as part of the government’s
$21 million Respectful Relationships program aimed at tackling family violence.

Gateway Pundit:

Sweden used to be a peaceful country, home to beautiful tall blonde-haired blue-eyed women. Now, because of the
massive invasion of 3rd world Muslim migrants, it has turned into the rape capital of the world.

Women in Islamic clothing wander around Sweden and violent Muslim men beat and rape the Swedish natives. McDonald’s
is also doing their part to make sure that Sweden loses their language and identity by catering to their new
demographic, Arabs.

There isn’t anything political about McDonald’s printing these ads. Immigrants are not being helped by this. In fact,
they are being harmed by eating McDonald’s poisonous food.

So good on McDonald’s for trying to poison Moslems.

But then: this fatal mistake.

🇺🇸 __***DePaul Students Vote On Illegal Immigrant Scholarship Fund***__ 🇲🇽
*http://archive.is/yw9Fj*
*THE DAILY CALLER*

Students at DePaul University will vote on a referendum next week to decide whether they will have to pay money each
quarter into a scholarship fund for illegal immigrant students.

Each DePaul student would need to pay $2 a quarter towards student activity fees to fund the scholarship, which was
proposed by the Undocumented Student Movement (USM) and the Undocumented Vincentians & Allies (UVA). The resolution must
pass both student vote and administrative approval, according to The College Fix.

DePaul’s student government voting members and senators “unanimously” approved the referendum on Friday, reported The
DePaulia. Estimates computed by the UVA indicate that the extra $2 per quarter per student would amount to a $79,000
scholarship fund for illegal immigrant students, beginning no sooner than the 2018-2019 school year.

In a since-deleted comment on its Facebook page, UVA tells a user who used the term “illegal immigrants” that “there is
[sic] **no ‘illegal’ human beings.**”
