🇫🇷 __***Police Injured, 143 Arrests as Far Left Riots in Paris to Protest Le Pen***__ 🇫🇷

__Six policemen were injured__ as far left activists rioted, burned cars, and smashed property during violent demonstrations against Marine Le Pen Sunday night in Paris, where __143 arrests were made__.

Before the results of the first round were announced on Sunday, several hundred self-styled “__anti-fascists__” gathered in Paris to oppose the pro-France, anti-globalisation Front National candidate.

Police were pelted with bottles and firecrackers by left wing extremists, many of whom were hooded and dressed in black. According to AFP, demonstrators also torched cars and smashed windows.

“We have come to protest against the __masquerade__ that is this election,” one protester told public broadcaster Franceinfo. “__All of its main candidates__ — [Emmanuel] Macron, [François] Fillon, Le Pen — __are standing only to perpetuate the reign of an oligarchy__ which hoards power and steals the wealth from ordinary people.”

Commenting on how this year’s election has seen France’s two main parties — the Republicans and the Socialists — rejected en masse, a student of neuroscience who spoke to journalists in the Place de la Republique pointed to “the [2008] financial crisis” as the cause.

Clashes broke out in various parts of France when the results of the election’s first round were announced. Three people among those who took to the streets in protest against the successes of Macron and Le Pen were arrested in Nantes. There, police were forced to use tear gas as __rioters set fire to public property__.

🚹 __***WATCH: Bill Nye DESTROYS What's Left Of His Credibility ***__ 🚺
*https://goo.gl/Afe1zR*
*THE DAILY WIRE*

Airing on his new Netflix special called *Bill Nye Saves The World*, the **Not A Scientist Guy** and hero of the Left featured the world's most insane, anti-science segment about sexuality and gender performed by a sitcom actress, who are, of course, famous for their extensive knowledge of biology.

The performance by *Crazy Ex-Girlfriend* actress Rachel Bloom was given a glowing endorsement by Nye, who introduced the song(?) as "very special." Within the performance, Bloom suggests that sex and gender are on a "spectrum" and that her "sex junk" is "much more than either or," meaning it's non-binary.

"*My vagina has its own voice / Not vocal cords, a metaphorical voice / Sometimes I do a voice for my vagina*," she sings. Charming.

Then there are these super-scientific lines: "*Versatile love may have some butt stuff / It's evolution, ain't nothing new / There's nothing taboo about a sex stew.*"

In effect, whatever was left of the manmade climate change zealot's credibility was officially wiped out, **unlike our Antarctic ice sheets**. Of course, there wasn't too much credibility left to demolish; this is a guy who once suggested climate change dissent be criminalized and said poignantly "many, many, many, many more hundreds of eggs are fertilized than become humans."

Quick rundown:
- The Don stated that America reach to Mars on his first or his second term during livestream with astronauts

Donald Trump instructed Nasa astronauts to get to Mars within his first term - or failing that, his second term, in a livestream with Peggy Whitson.

The President congratulated her via video link from the Oval Office alongside his daughter, Ivanka, and NASA astronaut Kate Rubins.

Appearing to forget he had signed a bill directing Nasa to send astronauts to Mars by the 2030s, Mr Trump asked: "Tell me, Mars, what do you see a timing for actually sending humans to Mars?"

Politely, Ms Whitson replied: "Well, I think as your bill directed it will be approximately in the 2030s".

Mr Trump said: "We want to do it during my first term and at worst during my second term so we want to speed that up, OK? "

*BLOOMBERG*

Marine Le Pen said she stepped down as head of the National Front party to campaign for president as a "free" candidate who could represent "all the French people."

Speaking in an interview with France 2 television, the candidate says she wants to rally French voters around her candidacy. Le Pen says she needs "only 10 little points" to win the election on May 7, citing polls that show independent rival Emmanuel Macron would beat her by a margin of 60 percent to 40 percent.

Macron, who created his political movement one year ago, has received endorsements from former Republican rival Francois Fillon and President Francois Hollande, a Socialist, as the establishment parties unite against Le Pen.

Le Pen became the head of the National Front in 2011, succeeding her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen.

*RT*

Israel has indicted an __18-year-old Jewish man__ with dual American-Israeli citizenship for __making bomb threats to Jewish community centers__ (JCCs) in the United States, among other actions. He was arrested after a joint probe by US and Israeli authorities.

Michael Ron David Kadar made __more than 2,000 threatening calls__ to schools, airports, police stations, malls and other targets over a span of two years, Israeli prosecutors say.

He faces multiple charges in Israel, including the extortion of a Delaware state senator and publishing false information in order to cause panic.

Kadar has been held in Israel since his March 23 arrest following an investigation by the FBI and Israeli police. His crimes were committed over the Internet from Israel, according to reports, at times using computers in other countries.

On April 21, Kadar was charged in US federal court in Florida with 28 counts of threatening calls and false information. He was also charged with three counts of cyberstalking in an indictment out of federal court in Georgia.

Some of __Kadar's threats were made on behalf of others in exchange for Bitcoin payment__, according to authorities. He made $238,000, at times using subcontractors.

Kadar attempted to extort money from Delaware state Senator Ernesto Lopez and threatened to kidnap and kill the children of George Little, a former Pentagon and CIA spokesman, according to prosecutors.

An investigation has revealed that terror groups operating out of Syria have taken to Reddit, utilizing the online messageboard as a forum for individuals who support Islamic terror groups operating inside Syria.

Disobedient Media has determined that the subreddit r/SyrianRebels lists at least one moderator who appears to support extremist-aligned groups in Syria and has recently announced that they will host an “Ask Me Anything” session with a senior Al-Qaeda militant in charge of media outreach for the terror group.

Reddit has refused to remove the subreddit, claiming that it does not violate their site’s rules.

In an unusual move, the entire US Senate is being called to the White House for a briefing on North Korea.

Washington has become increasingly concerned at North Korean missile and nuclear tests and threats to its neighbours and the US.

The briefing, involving 100 senators as well as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defence Secretary James Mattis, is being held on Wednesday.

China, North Korea's main ally, has called for restraint from all sides.

China's call came in a phone conversation between President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump on Sunday.

Mr Xi urged all parties to "maintain restraint and avoid actions that would increase tensions", according to the Chinese foreign ministry.

*RT*

The Communist Party of Britain (CP) has confirmed it will not stand its own candidates in the general election, telling its supporters to get behind Jeremy Corbyn’s campaign.

The Marxist-Leninist group also called on “*all leftwingers*” to vote for Labour on June 8.

“*In every general election since the formation of the CP in 1920, we have stood our own candidates, not least in 2015 when we fielded nine*,” said the party’s general secretary, Robert Griffiths, in an open letter published in the Morning Star.

“*Now, on this occasion, we will not contest any seats, although this does not signal any withdrawal from the electoral arena in the future*.”

Speaking to RT, Griffiths highlighted that these were “*extra-ordinary conditions*.”

“*The Labour Party has its most left-wing leadership in modern history and is under attack from all sides for putting forward policies that are in the interest of working class people*,” he added.

While the far-left group is backing a potential Labour government, Griffiths and his fellow members were not so keen on the much-discussed ‘progressive alliance’ between Corbyn and the Scottish National Party (SNP) and the Greens.

“*This is why a clear and unambiguous call for a Labour vote everywhere is so essential, rather than muddying the water with frivolous chatter about a ‘progressive alliance’ with the pro-EU, free-market fundamentalists of the Green, Liberal Democrats, SNP and Plaid Cymru parties*,” Griffiths told RT.

*BBC*

Wikipedia's co-founder Jimmy Wales is planning a news service that combines the work of professional journalists and volunteers.

His goal is for Wikitribune to offer "factual and neutral" articles that help combat the problem of "fake news".

The service is intended to be both ad-free and free-to-read, so will rely on supporters making regular donations.

One expert said it had the potential to become a trusted site, but suggested its influence might be limited.

Wikitribune shares many of the features already found in Mr Wales's online encyclopaedia, including the need for writers to detail the source of each fact and a reliance on the public to edit articles to keep them accurate.

However, while anybody can make changes to a page, they will only go live if a staff member or trusted community volunteer approves them.

The other big difference is that the core team of writers will be paid, although there may also be instances in which a volunteer writes the initial draft and then a staff member edits it.

*BREITBART*

The U.S. Treasury announced on Monday that it is putting into place 271 new sanctions in Syria following a chemical weapons attack on April 4 that killed dozens of people, including many children.

Treasury said in a press release that the sanctions are “*in response to the attack on innocent civilians in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria, by the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad*,” calling the move one of the largest blocks of sanctions in the history of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

The sanctions are against 271 employees of Syria’s Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC), all of whom have expertise in chemistry and related “*disciplines*” and have been supporting Assad’s chemical weapons program since at least 2012, according to Treasury.

“*These sweeping sanctions target the scientific support center for Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s horrific chemical weapons attack on innocent civilian men, women, and children*,” Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin said in announcing the sanctions. “*The United States is sending a strong message with this action that we will hold the entire Assad regime accountable for these blatant human rights violations in order to deter the spread of these types of barbaric chemical weapons*.”

“*We take Syria’s disregard for innocent human life very seriously, and will relentlessly pursue and shut down the financial networks of all individuals involved with the production of chemical weapons used to commit these atrocities*,” Mnuchin said.

The continuing resolution currently funding the federal government expires at midnight on Friday, April 28; absent an appropriations package, a new continuing resolution, or some other byzantine funding mechanism that contains elements of both, there will be a government shutdown on April 29.

And yet, just as sure as the sky is still blue and Elizabeth Warren still rain dances around the teepee when she isn't shilling for economically illiterate Keynesianism, all signs now point toward the Grand Old Party preparing for a Grand Old Surrender.

There is no appetite whatsoever amongst congressional Republicans right now to wage battle over taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood—despite the fact that __the organization demonstrably profits off the sale of dismembered baby parts__, and despite the reality that the current state-sanctioned prenatal infanticide regime is the moral and legal successor to the antebelleum slavery that the nascent Republican Party was once formed to stand athwart.

There is no appetite right now to go to budgetary war over defunding the jihad-funding, kleptocratic Palestinian Authority

There is scarcely any talk of a legislative denuding of Obama's purely evil Iranian nuclear deal, despite the fact that that monumental abomination is back in the news this week in a way that makes Barack Obama and John Kerry look less like Henry Kissinger and more like the love child of Neville Chamberlain and Ethel Rosenberg.

🇺🇸 __***Obama’s Iran Deal Was Much Worse Than We Suspected***__ 🇮🇷

*THE FEDERALIST*

What if Donald Trump had unilaterally shut down every investigation into Russian espionage, released over 20 suspected Russian spies, struck a deal to get rid of sanctions against Russia—in return for honoring deals that had been signed years before—and then lied to the American people about the entire episode?

That’s the Obama Administration’s Iran deal. It might have been the first time the United States has offered extensive concessions to a nation that has continued to destabilize its interests, for nothing in return. But Barack Obama didn’t just support Iran’s position over our allies like Israel (no surprise there, considering his antagonism) or Sunni nations — he supported it ahead of his own Justice Department’s 30-year counterproliferation efforts.

According to an over 8,000-word investigation by Politico, Obama’s efforts to placate Iran includes __releasing genuine spies__ (not the type we see behind every bowl of borscht these days) to a terror-supporting theocracy that has American blood on its hands and threatens the stability of the entire Middle East.

Then the administration, including the president, __lied about the deal they had struck over and over again__. It’s true that Obama lied with far more sophistication than our current president. But democracy dies in “*echo chambers*” created by unqualified foreign policy aides obsessed with making the Islamic Republic into a regional superpower.

Obama went as far as accusing anyone who opposed the deal of being in “*common cause*” with hardline Islamists in Iran. In fact, using the administration framing, it would be correct to say that Obama was in “*common cause*” with both Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Both of them were in favor of the Iran deal.

ALEC included the top and bottom ten states in the press release announcing the 10th edition of the report.

Some states, like New Jersey and Illinois, are not shockers. While they have Republican governors, Democrats dominate the legislatures. In New Jersey, Christie touted pension reform, though the Garden State has a long way to go, with ALEC noting that it’s actually underfunded by $235 billion.

__Bottom 10__:

#41: Oregon (Dems control the legislature and governor’s office)

“*Safe space*” babies devoid of sense and reason are a dime a dozen these days, in that they can be found at practically every university, including the University of Maryland, College Park, where this week students literally washed away free speech.

The hoopla occurred Tuesday on the university’s “*Social Justice Day*,” when __triggered students discovered chalk markings__ on campus that read “*deport dreamers*,” “*we won snowflakes*,” “*CNN is fake news*,” etc., according to The Washington Times.

“*I was shocked but not very surprised*,” snowflake Brandon Carroll, a junior at the school, later told The Tab. “*During the election Trump supporters did the same thing in the middle of the night and wrote #trump2016 and so on. That feeling of __shock__ of course turned to __anger__ when I found out that __the student union won’t remove it because it’s considered free speech__.”*

Darn that pesky free speech, eh? And since the student union was rightfully unwilling to stamp out free speech, students like Carroll reportedly took matters into their own hands, __using buckets of water to wash away the chalk__ like good little fascists.

President Donald Trump announced that he wanted a 20 percent tax on softwood lumber coming from Canada, telling conservative media he thought the country was treating Canada “*very unfairly.*”

“*We’re going to be putting a 20% tax on softwood lumber coming in — tariff on softwood coming into the United States from Canada,*” Trump announced during a meeting with conservative journalists. He also signaled he wanted action on Canadian dairy products as well.

“*We’re going to start doing lumber in our country, it’s going to mean that farmers are going to start selling milk in our country,*” Trump said.

The president’s decision is the latest sign that he will keep his promises on trade deal negotiations.

A senior administration trade official said that the issue was a “*long simmering problem*” with Canada, pointing out that they get cheap lumber from federally-owned timber and sell it at subsidized rates.

“*We love Canada, wonderful people, wonderful country, but they have been very good about taking advantage of us through NAFTA,*” Trump said.

The propensity for people on the far left to engage in partner swapping and group sex may be down to their belief that property is theft, and populist-right wingers enjoy kinky sex because their willingness to reject feminism and social norms in politics also extends to the bedroom, a new study claims.

Commissioned by “libertine social network” Wyylde, the study of 4,000 French individuals found that people on the far left are much more likely than the average Frenchman to share partners and have group sex, while Front National voters are more inclined towards sexual domination, spanking, and practices polling company IFOP says are derived from “porn culture”.

“It is in the electorates of the ‘protest candidates’ that one finds a greater proportion of people who engage in more obscure and transgressive sexual acts,” commented IFOP.

“[It is] as if their rejection of ‘the system’ is linked with a greater ability to overcome society’s prevailing standards of sexuality,” the polling company added.

People situated “to the left of the [traditional] left” on the political compass are “distinguished in particular by their experimentation in practices of a libertine nature,” the study said.

“Having a threesome” and partner-swapping are examples given in the commentary, which highlights that the proportion of swingers amongst far left voters (23 per cent) is more than double the average in France (nine per cent).

On Monday, the German Interior Ministry released figures showing the number of crimes committed by migrants surged 52.7% in Germany last year. In 2015, migrant crimes totaled 114,238; in 2016, they totaled 174,438 crimes. Migrants represented 8.6 percent of all crime suspects in Germany in 2016, up from 5.7 percent in 2015.

Violent crimes in general, including rape, murder, and bodily harm, shot up 6.7% in 2016; violent crimes by German nationals rose 1% in 2016, those by migrants nearly doubled.

The German police define migrants as refugees and rejected asylum seekers.

While migrant crime was surging, crimes committed by German citizens dropped 3.4% to 1.41 million.

The coming election in autumn 2017 is expected to revolve around the issue of the huge number of refugees.

Karsten Woldeit, a politician for the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany in Berlin, reminded the public that his party “predicted and warned about this development after the uncontrolled entry of hundreds of thousands of migrants in 2015.”

Syrian immigrants represented roughly 37% of immigrants to Germany in 2016 and were responsible for 17.6% of crimes.

Video-sharing platforms such as Google's YouTube and Vimeo will have to take measures to protect citizens from content containing hate speech and incitement to violence under measures voted by EU lawmakers on Tuesday.

The proliferation of hate speech and fake news on social media has led to companies coming under increased pressure to take it down quickly, while internet campaigners have warned an excessive crackdown could endanger freedom of speech.

Members of the culture committee in the European Parliament voted on a legislative proposal that covers everything from 30 percent quotas for European works on video streaming websites such as Netflix to advertising times on TV to combating hate speech.

The lawmakers approved an amendment that would define video-sharing platforms as services or a "*dissociable section of a wider service*" that "play a significant role in providing programmes and user-generated videos to the general public, in order to inform, entertain or educate," which could include social media networks including Facebook and Twitter that also carry videos.

"*Social media should not be regulated through the back door. Tackling hate speech on social media is important, but the CULT (culture) committee should not jump the gun by adopting a far-reaching definition of video sharing platforms without any proper impact assessment,*" said Marietje Schaake, a member of the Liberals group of the parliament.

A federal judge in San Francisco has blocked a Trump administration order to withhold funding from communities that limit cooperation with U.S. immigration authorities.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick issued the temporary ruling Tuesday in a lawsuit over the executive order targeting so-called sanctuary cities. The decision will stay in place while the lawsuit moves through court.

The Republican president’s administration and two California governments that sued over the order disagreed about its scope.

San Francisco and Santa Clara County argued that it threatened billions of dollars in federal funding.

But an attorney for the Justice Department, Chad Readler, said at a recent court hearing that it applied to a limited set of grants.

Readler said less than $1 million was at stake nationally and possibly no San Francisco funding.

An unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile will be launched Wednesday from Vandenberg Air Force Base to test the weapon’s effectiveness, accuracy and readiness, according to the Air Force Global Strike Command.

The Minuteman III missile test launch will occur between 12:01 and 6:01 a.m. from the north end of the base near Lompoc, according to Vandenberg’s 30th Space Wing. The 576th Flight Test Squadron, which will help oversee the operational test launch, is responsible for telemetry, tracking and command destruct systems on the missile.

In a statement, Col. Chris Moss, Vandenberg’s 30th Space Wing commander, said missile launches are “*essential to verify the status of our national nuclear force and to demonstrate our national nuclear capabilities.*”

The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, criticized the timing of the launch, citing heightened tension between the U.S. and North Korea. In recent weeks, North Korea has stepped up its testing of ballistic missiles.

“*When it comes to missile testing, the U.S. is operating with a clear double standard: It views its own tests as justified and useful, while it views the tests of North Korea as threatening and destabilizing*,” foundation president David Krieger said in a statement. “*What is needed is diplomacy rather than military provocations. Threats, whether in the form of tweets, nuclear-capable aircraft carrier groups, or nuclear-capable missile launches, only increase the dangers to us all*.”

Quick rundown:
- El Rato story arc, use the money from criminal asset forfeiture to build wall
- Legislation has been posted and will apply specifically only to actual criminal forfeiture of a member of a drug cartel

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced a bill calling for the use of $14 billion seized from cartel drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to be used to pay for the President’s border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

“Fourteen billion dollars will go a long way toward building a wall that will keep Americans safe and hinder the illegal flow of drugs, weapons, and individuals across our southern border,” Senator Cruz stated, according to a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas from the senator’s office. “Ensuring the safety and security of Texans is one of my top priorities.”

The Texas senator said that leveraging criminally forfeited assets from El Chapo and other Mexican cartel members and drug dealers can “offset the wall’s cost and make meaningful progress toward achieving President Trump’s stated border security objectives.”

- POTUS salary is $400k annual

Former President Obama is set to net $400,000 for speaking at a Wall Street health care conference; that's nearly twice what Clinton was paid to become one of the most expensive speakers on Wall Street.

Obama will be the keynote speaker for one day and has signed a contract although a formal announcement is being coordinated. Fox Business said it confirmed Obama’s appearance with senior members at Cantor, a financial services firm.

The former president’s reported speaking fee is near twice the price commanded by Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

Obama won’t be the first former president or politician to accept large fees for speaking to business groups. All ex-president get pensions, to the tune of $205,700 annually, and the amount increases to keep up with inflation.

Bill and Hilary Clinton have reportedly been paid upwards of $200,000 per speech over the years, with Bill receiving over $500,000 for some guest-speaker engagements.

Joining her parents, Chelsea Clinton commands a speaking fee of $75,000 according to the New York Times. The fees go directly to the Clinton Foundation.

A third flag will join the U.S. and Florida ones on Wednesday at Belleview’s City Hall to honor Confederate History Day.

The third national Confederate flag, also known as the “blood-stained banner,” will be raised to half-staff around 7:30 a.m. to honor Confederate veterans. The local Sons of Confederate Veterans unit has performed this tribute ceremony for more than 10 years.

Sons of Confederate Veterans 8th Brigade Commander Chuck Kadel said it is important to recognize all American veterans.

“*(Confederate veterans) were veterans just as American veterans are,*” he said.

April is recognized by the state of Florida as Confederate History Month. A Belleview city proclamation passed April 4, which will be read at the flag raising ceremony, states that Florida supplied the greatest percentage of its population as soldiers compared to all other Confederate states. Further, one-third of the Floridian soldiers did not return from war.

Being the least populous state, Florida provided 15,000 soldiers to fight in the war, 5,000 of which were killed, according to a website called “*Exploring Florida*,” curated by the Florida Center for Instructional Technology at the University of South Florida.

The folk ritual is believed to honor the spirits of ancestors and in previous shows Palee would impress onlookers by appearing superhuman when the blade broke as it was pressed against his chest.

But the well-known clairvoyant’s act is reported to have gone horrifically wrong when he accidentally plunged the blade inside him after it failed to snap.

Crowds are said to have gathered round the man as they tried to revive him but he was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

*THE WASHING POST*

The University of California at Berkeley is bracing for massive protests and potential violence in an open, public space known as Sproul Plaza after learning that conservative commentator Ann Coulter plans to give a speech there **Thursday afternoon.**

The state flagship university has become ground zero for an intense confrontation between the far left and the far right since Donald Trump’s election in November, with some protesters trying to stop controversial speakers from appearing on campus and others objecting that such actions violate their right to free speech.

Some of the clashes have devolved into riots, leaving the school and city to struggle with how best to balance the free exchange of ideas with community safety.

In February — and twice more since then — masked extremists turned protests over the boundary between free speech and hate speech into violent confrontations, setting fires, causing injuries and leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars of property damage in their wake.

*“The character of that attack on campus was unprecedented,”* UC-Berkeley chancellor Nicholas Dirks said Tuesday.

*“If somebody brings weapons, there’s no way to block off the site, or to screen them,”* Dirks said, noting that officials know that some of the demonstrators, such as those known as Black Bloc, know how to penetrate the crowd and use it as a shield. *“In an open space, you have almost no control over that,” he said. “The challenges are immense.”*

🇷🇺 __***Islamism, liberalism & pseudo-communism threats to civilized world – senior Russian senator ***__ 🇷🇺
*https://goo.gl/VWV1jl*
*RT*

Islamic fundamentalism, North Korea’s pseudo-communist ideology and Western liberalism are the triple threats currently facing the civilized world, Senator Konstantin Kosachev has warned.

*“The three ideological fundamentalisms are currently as follows: Islamism, personified by Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL]; a pseudo-communism, manifested by the DPRK [North Korea]; and the liberal-globalization represented by certain elites of the West.*

*“These threats are, of course, unequal in scope and ideological roots, but they have much in common: each resorts to blackmail and threats, as well as use of force, visual and media effects, relying on __zombie activists ready for everything for the sake of an idea__,”* Kosachev, the head of Russia’s upper house Committee for International Relations, wrote in an opinion piece published in Izvestia daily on Monday.

*“There is a small hope that, having ceased to feel like life is a ‘sinking ship’, the global liberal elites will calm down a bit and, among other things, will reduce the tonality of their campaigns against the external ‘enemies of European values’, among which Russia is the main one.*

*“Otherwise, the third global threat – the threat of Western fundamentalism – will continue to be relevant with its readiness to organize a ‘__liberal jihad__’ in the form of another coup d’état, ‘humanitarian intervention’ or ‘color revolution’ anytime, anywhere in the world,”* Kosachev concluded.

Milan Bolden-Morris, 17, told designer Terrence Torrance, who described the dress as “pretty with a purpose,” “O.K., I’ll do whatever you need me to do.” She added, “I feel like it was a very vital issue.” Torrence had designed Morris’ cousin’s wedding dress.

Morris posted a picture of herself in the dress on Instagram with this statement: “Yes I'm black. Yes I'm 17. Yes GOD is using me to convey a message that's bigger than me. #AllLivesMatter️#BlackLivesMatter #MoveWithPurpose.”

After she wore the dress to the Pahokee High School prom last Friday, Morris told CNN, “When someone loses a mother, father or child in unnecessary circumstances, it should not be overlooked but addressed.” Torrence said, "With all the killings that was going on, it just hit me one day: you should put that into a dress. I wanted to paint a picture and put a story out there through my fashion, and I wanted to show we could spread out message with not just posters and fliers but also with garments.”

Morris, who played basketball in high school, will attend Boston College in autumn 2017.

🇺🇸 __***White House slams 'egregious' ruling on sanctuary cities***__ 🇲🇽

*SOURCE*

The White House on Tuesday rebuked a federal judge's decision to block a Trump administration directive aimed at stripping funding from *"sanctuary cities,"* calling the court decision yet another case of *"egregious overreach by a single, unelected district judge."*

Earlier Tuesday San Francisco-based U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick blocked President Donald Trump's administration from enforcing a portion of its Jan. 25 executive order that would halt federal funding to municipalities that did not uphold federal immigration laws.

In a statement released Tuesday night by the press secretary's office, the White House claimed the ruling undermined the American political system.

*"Today, the rule of law suffered another blow, as an unelected judge unilaterally rewrote immigration policy for our Nation,"* the statement read.

The White House added: *"This case is yet one more example of egregious overreach by a single, unelected district judge. Today’s ruling undermines faith in our legal system and raises serious questions about circuit shopping."*

A man has been charged with fatally shooting a Marine in the drive-thru of a McDonald's in Bedford, Indiana, according to police and NBC affiliate WTHR.

Justin Lampkins, 25, was in a truck with his friends in line at the fast food restaurant early Saturday morning about 1:19 a.m., police say. The Marine Corps veteran was involved in a fight after *“a horn was sounded”* in the line and Evan Schaffer, 22, got out of his car and punched Lampkins, WTHR reports.

Police say it's unclear who honked the horn.

*"The victim shoved the accused back, the accused then presented a handgun,"* Bedford assistant police Chief Joe DeWees told WTHR.

Police said Schaffer shot Lampkins in the chest before fleeing the scene. Lampkins was taken to Indiana University Health Bedford where he later died, according to a police department Facebook post.

*DAILY MAIL*

A Jack Russell terrier has undergone a sex change operation after vets discovered she was born with both male and female genitalia.

Molly was found to be *'overly-excited'* due to the fact she had two sets of sex organs.

Vets said that despite appearing to be completely female to those that met her, she was in a significant amount of discomfort because of her external genitalia.

Molly's pain meant that she __underwent a gender reassignment operation__ at the *Pets'n'Vets Family's Roundhouse Hospital* in the Pollokshaws area of Glasgow.

As Molly underwent surgery, it was found that the dog had male internal sexual organs as she had testicles in place of ovaries within her abdomen.

Veterinary surgeon Ross Allan said that if Molly was left untreated then she risked developing a long-term debilitating condition.

*DAILY MAIL*

China is talking with the European Space Agency about collaborating on a human settlement on the moon. The secretary general for China's space agency, Tian Yulong, disclosed the talks today in Chinese state media.

The ESA has previously described its *'Moon Village'* as a potential international launching pad for future missions to Mars. Further details on what the collaboration could entail were not revealed. But last year, the head of the ESA elaborated on plans to build a village on the moon.

*'The future of space travel needs a new vision,' said Jan Woerner. The concept is a base for lunar exploration by humans and robots, which would act as a stopover for spacecraft, and become a 'village' with mining and even tourism.

*'Right now we have the Space Station as a common international project, but it won't last forever,'* said Woerner.

*'If I say Moon Village, it does not mean single houses, a church, a town hall and so on. No, that would be misleading. My idea only deals with the core of the concept of a village: people working and living together in the same place. And this place would be on the Moon.'*

🇱🇷🇱🇷 🇱🇷 ***99 Percent Chance of Violence if Ann Coulter Speaks at Berkeley get hyped.*** 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

Law enforcement sources have told Fox News that there is a “99 percent” chance of violence on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley if conservative author and commentator Ann Coulter speaks on Thursday.

Once known as the home of the Free Speech Movement, UC Berkeley has become a virtual no-go zone for conservative speakers, from libertarian entrepreneur Peter Thiel (chased offstage by a mob in 2014), to gay conservative writer Milo Yiannopolous (shut down by riots in February). Berkeley administrators and police have refused to intervene to stop students and off-campus activists, and to protect the exercise of First Amendment rights.

Coulter was invited to speak by the Berkeley College Republicans, Young America’s Foundation (YAF), and a student dialogue group called BridgeCal. The event was set for April 27, but the UC Berkeley administration canceled the event. It offered alternative dates, ostensibly because they would be more manageable from a security standpoint. But Coulter refused to bow to the “heckler’s veto” — or, more accurately, “rioter’s veto” — over when she would speak.

Now, Coulter is planning to show up on campus Thursday regardless. She is expected to speak outdoors in Sproul Plaza, which is a designated free speech area on campus, and the site of the 1964 demonstrations that launched the Free Speech Movement. (No time has yet been set for the speech.) Fox reports that police are bracing for riots by leftists, anarchists, and so-called “anti-fascist” activists, whether or not Coulter actually appears on campus and tries to speak.
