JOURNALISM: 100 schoolchildren abducted in Nigeria are released but more are still held.

A total of 100 of the schoolchildren abducted from a Nigerian Catholic school last month and released over the weekend were hosted at a government-organized ceremony on Monday, many of them looking lost but relieved.

Details surrounding their release were not made public and the government has not said if any ransom — common in such abductions — was paid.

At least 303 schoolchildren were seized in Niger state together with 12 of their teachers when gunmen attacked St. Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri community on Nov. 21. Fifty escaped in the hours that followed and at least 150 are still held, together with the teachers.

The freed schoolchildren arrived at the Niger Government House in the state capital of Minna in several buses accompanied by military trucks. They were then received by officials who hugged and shook hands with some, before posing with them in front of cameras.

Readers might want to know what kind of “gunmen,” but Reuters failed to use the words “Muslim” or “Islamic” in the report.

ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT BEING A LAWYER IS THAT YOU SOMETIMES GET TO WRITE LETTERS LIKE THIS ONE:

WELL, IT’S BEEN A CATASTROPHE IF THAT’S WHAT YOU MEAN: Tony Blair’s ‘New Britain’ Hasn’t Worked Out So Well. “Chamberlain at least understood that Germany presented a serious threat to Great Britain. While his negotiations with Hitler and appeasement caused serious harm, he didn’t actually surrender England to Germany. He reversed course within fewer than two years of his attempts to reconcile with Germany and began rearming Britain, and declared war after Hitler’s invasion of Poland. Tony Blair, on the other hand, consciously chose to destroy his country and replace it with what he called “Global Britain.” He may have begun the process of surrendering the country to a mass of hostile migrants. Blair originally describes his vision as ‘New Britain,’ and upon leaving office, his focus is stated more clearly as ‘global,’ which describes his policies as PM just as well.”

WOKIFICATION OF EVERYTHING IS MY CONCERN ABOUT NETFLIX CONTROLLING THE ENTIRE WARNER BROS. LIBRARY: Netflix’s New Movie Is Its Wokest and Craziest Yet. “Netflix describes its new movie, Queen of Coal, this way: ‘A trans woman dreams of working the coal mines — but in a town steeped in superstition and patriarchy, Carlita must fight to earn her place underground.’ Yes, this is real. It stars Lux Pascal, who used to be known as Lucas Pascal until he decided that he was really the woman of his dreams. That is a quick path to stardom in Hollywood these days, and so whatever else Lucas/Lux is, he has a good head for business.”

LOL. HOW CAN WE MISS YOU IF YOU WON’T GO AWAY?

SUBSIDIZING YOUR DESTROYERS: Family of Somalian ISIS Leader Living in Taxpayer-Funded Flat in Britain.

Mumin, known for his red-dyed beard, who is said to have recently been elevated to the supreme commander of ISIS and who is one of the world’s most wanted terrorists, is currently believed to be hiding out in the remote Cal Miskaad mountains of the Puntland region of Somalia as he seeks to marshal Islamist forces under his banner.

Prior to his ascension, the jihadist lived in London between 2003 to 2010. During this time, Mumin met and married a British Somali woman, Muna Abdule, and fathered three children with her. Abdule is believed to be his second of four wives.

While living in London, Mumin was a reportedly a frequent speaker at the Greenwich Mosque, where he is said to have “crossed paths” with fellow terrorists, including “Jihadi John” Mohammed Emwazi, one of the so-called “ISIS Beatles” who oversaw the execution of Western journalists and others in Iraq and Syria.

Another attendee of the mosque at the time was Michael Adebolajo, who later murdered British soldier Lee Rigby near the Royal Artillery Barracks in 2013. Both would-be terrorists are said to have attempted joining Islamist groups in Somalia.

Additionally, Mumin is alleged to have been a regular at several cafes in London where Somalians recruited militants to fight for the al-Shabaab terror network.

Although the would-be ISIS leader left Britain to join the global jihad movement in 2010, his wife and three children remained in the country and are reportedly living off the taxpayer’s dime in a council flat.

We need a complete and total shutdown of the United Kingdom until we can figure out what’s going on.
