ISIS Beheads 50 Yazidi Sex Slaves as Parting Gift
Clarion Project
In a final act of depravity, fleeing ISIS beheaded 50 Yazidi sex slaves, dumping their heads into trash bins for coalition soldiers to find.
ISIS fighters were besieged in their last stronghold – a small area in Baghuz located in eastern Syria. One hundred ISIS jihadis were killed in the final battle in which British Special Forces (SAS) fired 600 mortar bombs and tens of thousands of machine-gun rounds against the terror group.
Speaking to The Mail on Sunday, a source said:
“In their hour of defeat, the jihadis’ cruelty knew no bounds. They conducted a cowardly slaughter of these desperately unfortunate women as a final act of depravity and left their severed heads behind for us to find. The motivation for such a sickening act is beyond comprehension for any remotely normal human being.
“None of the SAS troops who entered Baghuz will forget what they saw, which some soldiers likened to a scene from the film Apocalypse Now. Their only solace is that they have contributed to bringing Islamic State’s reign of terror to an end.”
Surviving ISIS fighters tried to escape by going underground to a system of tunnels they constructed under the town. However, SAS mortar teams and U.S.-French artillery units pounded the openings of the tunnels which were located by drones.
About 200 jihadis still hold an area of about one-fifth of a square mile outside Baghuz where intelligence sources say an equal number of civilian hostages are held. The terror group once controlled 34,000 square miles of territory between western Syria and eastern Iraq, which they called their “caliphate” and ruled over close to 8 million people according to brutal sharia law.
In 2014, when ISIS roared into Iraq, close to 3,000 women, teenage girls and young boys were abducted by the group. The hostages were Yazidis, Christians, Turkomen and Shabak – all minority groups in Iraq. The women and girls were turned into sex slaves and the boys were recruited as the next generation of jihadis. During the takeover operations, ISIS simply slaughtered the men and teenage boys.

2) Maduro and Cuba Lose
A civilian operation attempting to bring tons of international aid into Venezuela on Saturday was more than an effort to alleviate some small fraction of the nation’s misery. Its main purpose was to reinforce the authority of interim President Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s head of state. That’s why the dictator Nicolás Maduro pledged to stop it, despite a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.
How can a member of Congress afford a $4.5 million Los Angeles mansion that takes up half a city block in one of the most affluent neighborhoods in L.A. and the country? AskMaxine Waters, aka: "Mad Max".
Now ask her about her other two homes as well, worth another approximate $850,000 to $1.1 million. Savvy real estate acquisitions for a public servant with a $174,000 House of Representatives salary, free health care & life-long pension. Whoops, almost left out Maxine's property in Palm Springs, California. Add that to her list.
Only one of her homes is located in the gritty Los Angeles congressional district which she was elected to represent. Her exclusive estate is miles north .. well outside her congressional district ... far away from Los Angeles street crime, murder and the folks she is supposed to help. Apparently, Maxine has addressed concerns about help. A private company maintains her property and impressive manicured landscaping at the mansion.
Oh, we almost forgot this too. Maxine Waters' posh 6,000 square foot Los Angeles estate is protected with wrought-iron gates at the front doors and gates for driveways and patios on each side of the Mediterranean-style abode. And add a long brick wall that protects the side of the sprawling property. There are some gates and fencing in the back also, near the custom barbecue area and the detached structure that houses Maxine's newly built indoor pool. Or is the swimming pool in the main house? We'll have to ask the butler.
For someone who touts a wall-free society where illegal aliens can roam free, Maxine Waters sure seems concerned about gates and walls to protect her in the Los Angeles mansion. Perhaps she's worried the wayward homeless or DREAMers might pool hop or grille a Salisbury steak while she's busy on CNN railing about President Donald Trump or how she really cares about financially-strapped Americans struggling to make ends meet.
The Maxine Waters estate boasts large scale rooms touted as "perfect for gracious entertaining" in one Los Angeles - based publication. It includes a"stunning entry with a dramatic staircase ... lovely pecan paneling in the family room and the guest house too!"
Who keeps an eye on the place when Maxine is on the east coast fighting world poverty and hunger? Her neighbors include the mayor of Los Angeles, singer Chris Brown, Norman Chandler, the owner of the Los Angeles Times, actor Neal McDonough, Lord Baltimore's Christian Audigier, among many others including the former Tudor Revival style mansion of deceased oil magnate J. Paul Getty. The mayor of Los Angeles resides in the former mansion of Getty. He's a Democrat too.
And all this time Maxine had America conned into believing she was elected to her Washington, D.C. post to help the downtrodden folks struggling in poverty-plagued inner cities like the one in her backyard. Well, not that backyard. That could get dicey. Those folks might want to get out of the sun and use the air-conditioned indoor pool area. What ... your 100-year-old imported marble floors are too good for the homeless?
"Make America Great Again is racist." ~ Maxine Waters
Wait, it even gets more ridiculous. We found approximately 17 building permits on file since Waters purchased this home in 2004. Waters had many additions built on the nearly 100-year old property, costing another estimated $1 million-plus, according to our math. Likely more. She commissioned the indoor pool built and even paid a plumber to pipe hot and cold water, as well as propane gas to her outdoor grilling area and custom kitchen. She added a pergola too, building records show an additional 15' X 18' custom patio cover. Hey, before you judge: It gets hot in Los Angeles and shade is a premium. Ask any homeless veteran.
Some of the building permits filed on the tony Windsor Square section home provided details like "Interior remodel in kitchen family room and master bathroom .. addition of French doors and windows, relocate windows, remove interior walls, addition of shear walls and beams at ground floor. Many other permits did not give explanations of the home improvement work.
Maxine Waters' house takes up the same geographic acreage as two of her neighbors' properties combined. That's an extra-large carbon footprint, especially in Los Angeles.
A typical Democratic phony loaded with multiple homes, cash and the walls and iron to protect them from would-be troublemakers. Maxine Waters, who rails about President Donald Trump's financials' and tax returns, filed her most recent financial disclosure form with Congress in 2015. She lists her approximate net worth in the $450,000 range. That's a mere fraction of the amount of the home improvements made to her Los Angeles estate. Maxine Waters lists the mortgage on her Los Angeles mansion at somewhere between $1 million and $5 million. What's a few million between D.C. friends?
Please tell us again, Maxine: Who should be investigated and impeached? Maxine rants about the plague of homelessness and the GOP's contribution to it. The irony is thick. It ' s worth clicking and reading the story while she talks about poverty in America.
Built in 1924, Maxine Waters' Mediterranean-style estate is worth $4.5 million today
Deadbolt gates on the front doors, gates on the driveways, patios.
So much for carefree border-less living.
Flanked by a long brick and landscaped wall that runs half a city block.
Main house, guest house, outdoor barbecue island and kitchen are seen here.
A view from Maxine's neighbor who also boasts a large and long wall.
The sprawling property dwarfs the two properties behind it.
E. Coast digs: Maxine ' s Washington, D.C. pad across street from Albanian & Costa Rican Embassies.
Spread this far and wide, around the country to let everyone know what a hypocritical, crazy crook old 'Mad Max' is. How does this looney leftist pay the taxes and maintain all the properties on a $174K government salary? You know?
It can not be said more succinctly; "You can't get rich in Congress unless you're a crook." ~ PRES. HARRY S. TRUMAN

2) Maduro and Cuba Lose
The dictator closed the border—but Venezuela’s democrats won the day.
By Mary Anastasia O’Grady
A civilian operation attempting to bring tons of international aid into Venezuela on Saturday was more than an effort to alleviate some small fraction of the nation’s misery. Its main purpose was to reinforce the authority of interim President Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s head of state. That’s why the dictator Nicolás Maduro pledged to stop it, despite a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.
Mr. Gauidó had hoped the army and National Guard would sympathize with the people, but most of the Venezuelan armed forces followed Mr. Maduro’s orders to block the trucks at the border. Mr. Guaidó was left tweeting, giving speeches and congratulating a handful of midlevel officers who defected.
But Mr. Maduro didn’t win the day. The uprising is a struggle to expel the ruling Cuban dictatorship, which began putting its claws into Venezuela 20 years ago. The Castro clan are skilled propagandists, but in Venezuela they’re being outplayed.
The world sees the epidemic of malnutrition and disease. So Mr. Maduro did himself no favors when, in early February, he used two large shipping containers and an oil tanker to block the International Bridge of Las Tienditas linking Norte de Santander, Colombia, with Táchira, Venezuela. The idea was to look tough. It looked coldhearted and despotic.
Things got worse on Saturday. Video and photos of soldiers, police and paramilitaries unleashing brutality against unarmed civilians went viral on social media. Those who had been shot with rubber bullets showed their wounds on camera as people choked on tear gas nearby. A drone flying over the Francisco de Paula Santander Bridge, another international crossing, filmed hundreds of people lined up behind a few large tractor trailers carrying donations. Black smoke billowed from one of the trucks sabotaged by Maduro’s goons.
The world watched in horror as the day unfolded. In the afternoon, even Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who had earlier criticized President Trump’s support for Mr. Guaidó, took to Twitter to acknowledge the “serious humanitarian crisis” and call on Mr. Maduro to allow the aid in and “refrain from violence against protestors.” Cuba’s spin masters were experiencing a rare defeat.
In Caracas, above an English-language banner reading, “Hands Off Venezuela,” Mr. Maduro spoke to a relatively small crowd of loyalists. Shaking his fist in the air, he invoked age-old clichés against U.S. imperialism and even belted out a thickly accented “Yankee go home.” That used to work—once upon a time. But the cameras soon cut back to the border, where troops were clashing with shirtless young men hurling rocks.
On Friday, along Venezuela’s border with Brazil, indigenous and Afro-Venezuelan communities pleaded with the regime to let food and medicine pass. Mr. Maduro closed the border. At least four protesters in that area were killed and more than 29 injured, accordingto a report in El Nacional. Over the weekend, video caught buses and trucks carrying Maduro enforcers heading to the border town of Santa Elena de Uairén to put down the rebellion.
Since his discredited re-election last year, Mr. Maduro has tried to frame what is a homemade uprising as an assault on Venezuelan sovereignty. He accused aid caravans of being Trojan horses for an American invasion. Yet only Cuba, Iran, Russia, China and their allies still support him.
Before Hugo Chávez, democratic Venezuela suffered corruption and misrule but seldom tyranny. That changed when Chávez imported castroismo. Since 2002, thousands of peacefully protesting Venezuelans have been victims of chavista snipers, National Guard beatings and executions and attacks by brownshirts riding motorcycles. Opposition members have been dragged off to dungeons, tortured and convicted by kangaroo courts.
Most recently there has been a targeted crackdown by the Venezuelan special forces in poor neighborhoods that have turned against the regime. On Sunday independent Venezuelan media reported that Mr. Maduro is liberating common criminals from jails with instructions to attack democracy advocates.
As the smoke cleared Sunday, Mr. Maduro and his Cuban handlers still had the upper hand. Yet something big has changed. With so many regime atrocities now recorded and circulated on social media and the privation triggering a mass exodus, Venezuelan suffering under Havana control is no longer ignored.
On Friday British billionaire Richard Branson sponsored a Live Aid-inspired concert for Venezuela in Cúcuta, Colombia. Star performers like Carlos Vives, Juan Luis Guerra and Venezuelan pop duo Chino & Nacho crooned for the cause. Pop culture, for a change, is saying, “Down with Cuban tyranny.”
This is new. It could explain why on Saturday there were reports hundreds of dissidents were pouring into the streets to protest repression in Cuba itself. That’s new, too. Venezuela is increasingly isolated. If it tips, it may not be the region’s only dictatorship to fall.

4) Democrats Panic At Possible Mueller Report
With the Mueller report poised to be released in the not so distant future, Democrats are panicking. With the possibility that no collusion will be unearthed, Democrats are already looking at fixing the game. The Daily Caller reports:
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Sunday that House Democrats will issue subpoenas and go to court, if necessary, to obtain special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia investigation.“We will obviously subpoena the report. We will bring Bob Mueller in to testify before Congress. We will take it to court if necessary,” Schiff said in an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”Mueller is expected to submit a final report to the Department of Justice within weeks. From there, the Justice Department is required to provide a summary of the findings to Congress, which could then choose to make unclassified portions of the report public.
Rep. Adam Schiff tells me he is “absolutely” prepared to sue Trump administration if Mueller report is not made public: “We will obviously subpoena the report. We will bring Bob Mueller in to testify before Congress. We will take it to court if necessary”
But Democrats have said they are concerned Attorney General William Barr will withhold key portions of the report. Barr, who was confirmed to office Feb. 14, has said he plans to provide as much transparency as possible, though he has stopped short of committing to a full release of the document.
Democrats are totally reliant on the collusion narrative if they hope to win the Presidency again. The facts could get in their way, but they’ll be damned if they don’t try changing them.
