In 2016, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/isis-fake-passport-industry-official/story?id=36505984">ABC News</a> reported that ISIS has developed an entire business dedicated to production of fake passports. The terror group has strongholds in countries such as Syria, Libya and Iraq which allows them to acquire thousands of blank passports. United States intelligence believes that that ISIS has obtained a passport printing machine and has access to biographical data and fingerprints of Syrians. It is suspected that ISIS has been printing fake passports for approximately two years, and it is likely that these have been used to gain entry into the U.S undetected.
This production of forged passports is clearly cause for much concern in the intelligence community as it poses an extreme security threat for both the United States and Europe.
European authorities have reported that fake passports have been used to enter several countries. This includes passports discovered on suicide bombers responsible for the Paris terrorist which occurred in November 2015. Furthermore, ABC also reported that fraud documents are extremely widespread and relatively cheap throughout Syria. Additionally, due to the prevalence, most Syrians do not even consider it illegal.
<a href="http://www.newsweek.com/ghost-jihadis-isis-has-thousands-blank-syrian-passports-662692?amp=1">Newsweek</a> recently reported that ISIS has approximately 11,000 blank passports readily available for terrorists to obtain. European intelligence compiled a list of suspected serial numbers of fake passports. However, there is still much concern that jihadists will covertly enter Europe.
The Syrian Civil War has exacerbated this issue. After six years of a horrific war that has destroyed much of the country, myriads of Syrians are attempting to flee. In order to escape the warfare, a passport is crucial. Newsweek reported that most of the illegal documents are being used by harmless refugees. However, terrorist groups such as ISIS are using the refugee crisis as an opportunity to enter countries undetected.
This widespread use of fake passports and the expanding business associated with it pose a serious security threat. European countries and the U.S. are at risk for terrorist entering the country under fraudulent documents. According to ABC, ICE has warned law enforcement and is training them to detect fraudulent documents. Intelligence officials are attempting to find out more information and take control of the situation. CNN reports that the United States is creating a new passport technology that would be near impossible to fake.

Earlier this week I was scrolling through my Facebook page and came across something bothersome. A &#8220;friend&#8221; of mine had posted a picture of her graduation cap decorated with the words &#8220;The Future is Female.&#8221; This phrase had always troubled me; seeing it displayed on t-shirts always made me feel very uneasy. Therefore, when I saw this graduation cap with this sound bite posted with a link to donate to Planned Parenthood, I began to think about what it truly means.
When so-called &#8220;feminists&#8221; state that the future is female, they are showing their true colors. This movement is no longer about creating equal opportunities for men and woman, but it is obsessed with claiming that women are superior to men and that all men are worthless.
Feminism has been perverted into an effort that is not only antagonistic toward men, but also toward any women who do not share their twisted viewpoints. For example, the movie Wonder Woman was an excellent film depicting female power, yet feminists were not satisfied. To the contrary, they were outraged by the fact that the female lead cooed at a baby and fell in love with a man. According to them, women should not like babies or hope to have children because G-d forbid a family should &#8220;get in the way&#8221; of a career. Additionally, the feminists preach that all women must hate men in order to be considered &#8220;brave.&#8221;
The feminist movement is no longer about women choosing their own path, but about despising marriage and motherhood. It is no longer simply fighting for the equality of sexes.
The feminist obsession with abortion is absolutely horrific. It is not enough for them that abortion is an option; the killing of babies is viewed as a badge of honor. Lena Dunham has been quoted saying she wishes she had an abortion. To the modern feminist, abortion is not only brave, it is admirable.
The horrendous nature of this ideology cannot be downplayed. Motherhood is a beautiful trait that is unique to women. A woman&#8217;s biology is designed specifically for this purpose. This is not to say that a woman must have a child or become a mother. However, to celebrate and encourage a mother killing her child goes against feminine nature. Celebrating abortion is by definition anti-women. 
The phrase &#8220;The Future is Female&#8221; troubles me because it is with these words that the feminists prove they have no interest in equality. They could easily state &#8220;The Future is equality,&#8221; yet they shout these specific words to alert us all to their true end goal. If the future is female, then what about men?
According to feminists, men should have no positions of power. After the 2016 election, when Hillary lost, what did the feminists have to say? Did they point to the fact that she was an awful candidate? A liar? Of course not. The reason Hillary Clinton lost was because America is sexist! The only plausible reason why this dreadful fraud was not our president was because she is a woman. If America were not sexist, then Hillary should be president. Why? Simply because she has an XX chromosome.
This mentality of &#8220;all men are worthless&#8221; is extremely dangerous. Just because women have not had equal opportunities in the past does not provide a good reason to state that men are insignificant. Obviously, men play an extremely vital role in society and there is no need to protest every time a man defeats a woman in a race for a job or whenever a male-led superhero movie comes out.
As someone who grew up in a house with three brothers and an excellent father, I am always appalled by the man-bashing that is rampant among feminists. It is pathetic to proclaim that women are superior beings and men are no good. What kind of messages are we sending to young children, especially little boys? When feminists decorate t-shirts and graduation caps with &#8220;The future is female&#8221; they leave no room for exceptions. To the modern feminist little boys are just as useless as men.
What happened to fighting for equal treatment? Somewhere along the way feminism became a distorted movement with a warped sense of society and reality. Anyone who thinks men have no place in society is seriously misguided and extremely naïve. Fighting for equality is one thing, but putting down men simply because of their gender is &#8230; well, the definition of sexist.
Good job feminists: you have come full circle.

Why ‘The Future Is Female’ Is A Toxic Ideology

According to leftists it is now sexist to suggest that mothers cook for their children. Stouffer&#8217;s posted a Mother&#8217;s Day ad depicting one of their products with the caption &#8220;Give mom the night off from cooking- she deserves it.&#8221; Seems like a nice, non-controversial advertisement, right?
WRONG.
Leftists <a href="https://twitter.com/KaraEliason/status/862681209725440001">attacked this post</a>, stating that it is &#8220;sexist&#8221; to assume that mothers are the only ones who cook. However, nowhere in the advertisement did it state that fathers or other members of a family cannot cook as well. The company was simply attempting to utilize Mother&#8217;s Day as a way to promote sales. Statistically more woman cook for their families than men do. This does not mean that every woman falls into this category. Obviously, every home is different and fathers are just as capable of cooking as woman are. But does that mean that we cannot publicly thank our mothers for cooking for us?
It seems that people on the Left cannot help themselves from crying sexism or racism from the most innocent situation. Every time a commercial features a woman playing with her child, leftists must criticize by saying &#8220;men can also care for children!&#8221;
Obviously that is true and no one is denying that, yet for some reason liberals must insert their agenda in any way possible. It appears that every commercial for diapers must contain a giant disclaimer stating: &#8220;Men are also capable of child-rearing, please do not call us sexist.&#8221;
An advertisement posted on the weekend of Mother&#8217;s Day which implies that mothers cook for their children is not sexist in any way, shape or form. To suggest that there is any problem with the Stouffer&#8217;s advertisement is utterly absurd and has no basis. To the contrary, it is actually a nice sentiment suggesting that kids give their mothers a break for this one day because they truly deserve it. All mothers warrant recognition and appreciation for all that they do. It is time for leftists to stop creating a dispute where it does not exist and to cease interfering with people thanking their mothers.
Wishing all mothers a happy Mother&#8217;s Day!

It is Now Sexist To State That Mothers Cook For Their Families

The CUNY School of Public Health has invited Linda Sarsour, an anti-Israel activist, to deliver the commencement speech at its graduation. Sarsour has known ties to the terrorist group Hamas, has encouraged violence against Jews, defends the mistreatment of women in Islamic countries, and much more. To list all of Sarsour’s egregious acts and statements would take up an entire article in itself. As a Jewish CUNY student, I want to explain why having her speak at the School of Public Health is so outrageous.
CUNY schools have always had a substantial population of Jewish students — specifically in Brooklyn College, Baruch College, and Hunter College. In my own school, Queens College, Jews make up 25 percent of the student body. CUNY schools have always been very accommodating to Jews by giving time off for major holidays and by providing a quality, affordable education close to home. However, by allowing a known terror sympathizer to speak at the commencement ceremony, CUNY is not living up to its own prescribed standards. CUNY is not only failing to condemn Sarsour for, among other things, her clear anti-Semitism, but it is venerating her by inviting her to address graduates. With this action, CUNY is declaring that this woman is a role model, a leader, and someone whom current students ought to emulate. Sarsour has actively called for violence against Jews, but CUNY is telling its students that she is a shining example of success. What kind of message does this send to the myriad Jewish students on its campuses?
Are their principles and beliefs not valuable to the CUNY administration? A commencement speaker is supposed to provide a valuable lesson to the students, but someone with such a hatred for other human beings has no prerogative doing this. A woman who defends terrorists has no place on a college campus, let alone in a CUNY school.
By allowing this speech to proceed, many Jewish students — such as I — who attend a CUNY institution are outraged. We feel as though our voices mean nothing, and the people who are supposed to lead us are turning their back to injustice. Furthermore, CUNY is funded by New York City taxpayers. It is simply immoral for a city that preaches diversity and acceptance to give this woman a platform to speak. Why is Mayor Bill de Blasio not coming out and condemning CUNY’s action? The mayor has notoriously been known to speak out against prejudice, but now he has nothing to say against this appalling action.
Not only should this speech offend Jews, but it should offend all women as well. Sarsour has also rationalized mistreatment of women in Islamic countries due to her defense of Sharia law, and has even stated that certain women whom she deems insufficiently “progressive” or “feminist” do not deserve their own genitals. If the number of Jews in CUNY is not enough for the administration, what about the number of women? If CUNY does not agree that women should be treated as second-class citizens, then they must not permit Sarsour to give her planned commencement speech. And if CUNY does agree with Sarsour’s statements, I am not sure many women will want to attend their schools in the future.
By allowing Sarsour to speak, CUNY and New York City are condoning anti-Semitism, terrorism, and intolerance. The city and the university must stand up and find someone else to give this commencement speech. If they do not condemn this woman, they are sending a strong message that the injustices perpetuated by this woman are acceptable. By providing a platform for Sarsour, CUNY is failing to provide just leadership for its population. I am ashamed to attend such an institution.
