The Middle Eastern Women’s Coalition held a press conference at the National Press Club…
December 17, 2018
The Middle Eastern Women's Coalition announced their endorsement of President Donald Trump for re-election. Speakers shared stories from Christian, Muslim and Jewish women who have joined forces to support Trump, praising his willingness to address sensitive issues like female genital mutilation (FGM), honor killings, Sharia law and child marriage.
"...talk about people that aren't here, Linda Sarsour is not here. Isn't that interesting? She's not here because she doesn't work for the rights of Middle Eastern women, she works against them and yet she's one of the national co-chairs of the women's march. She's helping make things worse not better. Other women that aren't here that possibly should be, are the Muslim women that were just selected to Congress. They aren't here, why? Because they don't support what these women are talking about, they're not doing things to actively help women's cause they're hurting..."

At UN, Gore Demands “Ubiquitous” Population Control for Climate…
December 17, 2018
Amid freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore arrived at the United Nations COP24 “climate change” summit to preach about a looming “dark age” and a “hell on earth” if humanity refuses to accept his solutions to alleged man-made global warming. “It is real!” Gore (shown) pleaded Wednesday. The climate alarmist also suggested the solution was simple: More restrictions on liberty and energy, more globalism, more extreme population-control measures, and a lower standard of living for people everywhere. Brushing aside U.S. President Donald Trump, who called the man-made warming hypothesis a “hoax,” Gore said he remained “optimistic” that skeptics of his theory would ultimately be defeated. In fact, the quasi-celebrity warmist said it was almost inevitable. But in reality, experts and critics say that may not be the case.
