Midterm 2018 – MICHIGAN: Pro-Israel Rep. Mike Bishop (R) vs. Elissa Slotkin (D) Backed By Anti-Israel Group

In the race for Michigan’s 8th district, the incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Bishop is being challenged by far left Democrat Elissa Slotkin.

Bishop has a solid record of backing Israel, but Slotkin, who is Jewish, is being backed by an anti-Israel group.

ANTI-ISRAEL PAC Backs ELISSA SLOTKIN, Jewish Candidate For Congress Who Helped Obama With Secret Deal That Sent Over $1 BILLION To IRAN [VIDEO]

Former CIA analyst, Elissa Slotkin is running for US Congress in a state where she only recently dropped in to occupy a family farm that is owned by her wealthy family, heirs to the Hygrade Foods fortune.

The Slotkin family farm is located in Holly, MI, and just happens to be located on the edge of the 8th district in Michigan, where Elissa Slotkin, a Jewish female, is backed by the J-Street PAC, a group which has been accused of being anti-Israel. In addition to her funding from the anti-Israel group, Slotkin’s also received an enormous amount of campaign cash from ACT Blue, a George Soros funded group.

The Democrat Party and Elissa Slotkin, a DC outsider, who’s spent the last several months attempting to convince Michigan voters she cares about them, after voting for the first time ever in Michigan, when she voted for herself in the Democrat primary election in August, is hoping to unseat the popular, conservative, pro-Israel, Congressman Mike Bishop (R).

It’s hard to imagine a more unbelievable scenario than that of a Jewish Democrat running for a seat in Congress, who’s being funded by an anti-Israel PAC.

Real Clear Politics is calling this race a toss up even though Bishop has a slight lead in the polls.

Vice President Pence has been campaigning for Bishop. Up North Live reports:

Pence making 2 Michigan stops to campaign for Republicans

Vice President Mike Pence is making two stops in Michigan to campaign for Republican candidates before next week’s election.

Pence will speak Monday afternoon at an event in Oakland County for U.S. Rep. Mike Bishop, who is facing a challenge from Democrat Elissa Slotkin, and Lena Epstein, who is running against Democrat Haley Stevens for a congressional seat opening with the retirement of Republican Rep. Dave Trott.

The two races are competitive and are expected to help determine which party controls the House.

This seems like an easy choice.

Slotkin is an Obama Democrat and Rep. Mike Bishop is a reliable conservative.

What more do you need to know? Vote Bishop!

White House Report Slamming 'Socialist' Scandinavia Denounced by Danish PM

Denmark's center-right Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen rushed to defend the Nordic Model of social democracy after the Trump Administration listed Denmark as an example of a failing socialist nation in its recently released report, called “The Opportunity Costs of Socialism.”

Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen posted on Facebook this Monday that he is willing to participate “at any time in a competition with the Americans on who has the best social model,” CDS News reported.

“Yes, we pay a lot in tax… but we get so much. Our children can get an education — no matter who you are and where you come from. We can get to the hospital and get help if we get sick. Whether we have special insurance or a lot of money in the bank. And if you become unemployed, run into problems or otherwise need a helping hand, then the community is ready to seize and help one back on the right track,” Rasmussen wrote.

Denmark became one of the countries listed in the report, which was penned by the White House Council of Economic Advisers. It had criticized Denmark over its living conditions saying that the living standards in Nordic countries are “at least 15 percent lower than in the United States.”

The report was also quickly criticized by the foreign policy spokesman of Denmark's opposition Social Democratic party, who called it a “scare tactic” and “fake news” aimed at improving the image of the US ahead of midterms.

“There was no mention of the 32 million adults in the U.S. that are illiterate,” The Copenhagen Post fired back, without mentioning the source of its data.

This is not the first time Denmark has reacted to the criticism of the country’s political and economic system. Earlier in August, a Fox Business segment called Denmark an "overtaxed dystopia" with high unemployment rates. Denmark's minister of finance and ambassador to the US Lars Gert Lose called the criticism “uninformed.” Lose even posted a document with Denmark's global rankings, showing the small country coming out on top in terms of unemployment and education.

Denmark and the other Nordic countries of Europe are known for their implementation of the Nordic Model, alternately known as Nordic Capitalism and Nordic Social Democracy. Unlike in true socialism, the means of production are privately owned. However, the countries feature a generous welfare state tasked with providing free university-level education and medical care as well as generous pensions, and a high percentage of the workforce is unionized. Many argue that the public sector of Denmark, with a population of less than six million, can't be compared to that of the United States.

Khashoggi's Fiancee Says Saudi Authorities Know Location of Journalist's Body

Hatice Cengiz, the fiancee of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, said that she believed Saudi authorities knew the location of his remains.

"I am sure the Saudi regime knows where his body is. They should answer my demand as this is not only a demand of a fiancee, but also of a human and a Muslim. I want those who killed my beloved Jamal and those who ordered [the killing] to be brought to justice," Cengiz said, speaking at a memorial event held in Westminster.

Cengiz regretted that she did not enter the Saudi consulate in Istanbul together with the journalist.

"If only I knew what would happen, I would have entered the consulate myself," she stressed.

Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist known for his criticism of Saudi policies, was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2.

On October 19, Saudi Arabia admitted the journalist had died during a fistfight inside the consulate. Riyadh said 18 people had been arrested over their suspected involvement in the incident.
