Kaepernick's Real Anti-Cop Bias
by Culture Beat: In an attempt to gin up a positive vibe for the man responsible for starting the NFL’s National Anthem kneeling protests, unemployed quarterback Colin Kaepernick has touted his philanthropic acumen by pledging to donate $1 million to charitable organizations. However, it appears that Kaepernick’s judgement of worthy charities is as misguided as his evaluation of American society and law enforcement in particular. The Washington Times reports that Kaepernick has donated $25,000 to an organization called Assata’s Daughters — an organization named in honor of the cop-killing terrorist Assata Shakur.
by Culture Beat: In an attempt to gin up a positive vibe for the man responsible for starting the NFL’s National Anthem kneeling protests, unemployed quarterback Colin Kaepernick has touted his philanthropic acumen by pledging to donate $1 million to charitable organizations. However, it appears that Kaepernick’s judgement of worthy charities is as misguided as his evaluation of American society and law enforcement in particular. The Washington Times reports that Kaepernick has donated $25,000 to an organization called Assata’s Daughters — an organization named in honor of the cop-killing terrorist Assata Shakur. Shakur, a member of the domestic terrorist organization Black Liberation Army, was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1973 shooting death of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster and sentenced to life in prison. In 1979, she escaped prison and fled to Cuba where she was granted asylum and remains to this day.
Assata’s Daughters was founded in 2015 with a mission to “develop and train young people, ages 4-19, in the Black queer feminist tradition and in the spirit of Assata.” If you’re wondering if Kaepernick’s choice of organization is merely an honest accident, then look no further than his congratulatory birthday tweet to Shakur this past July. (The leftist Women’s March did the same thing.) It is increasingly evident that Kaepernick has neither love for America nor for those who willingly stand to protect its citizens. That’s why other NFL players following his lead is even more offensive. ~The Patriot Post

Michelle liar-nObama – America First Is Foreign To Snowflake Minds That Only Know “Her Husband”
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Former First Dudette Michelle liar-nObama spoke on Tuesday before a group of gender-biased leftists at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women... She had a message for the libtards who had no better sense than to waste their money listening to her babble. She told them that many young people only know life under her husband’s pretend presidency and that the snowflakes might have trouble digesting today’s situation. Somebody needs to create them a portable safe zone and when they’re emotionally strong enough, hand them a copy of the Constitution. Today’s reality is not what the re-education institutions that liar-nObama and the anti-America academics of the left have made a cornerstone of their indoctrination programs. It’s patriotism and putting one’s nation first as other nations of the world do, concepts they probably never imagined even existed with Hussein liar-nObama running our country down every time he opened his mouth. We’re supposed to be a third world and Islamic dumping ground and our wealth belongs to the world. Most young people are indoctrinated into that belief system thanks to her husband and the Soros network... https://rickwells.us/michelle-obama-america-first-foreign/.
Palestinians: A State Within a State?
Hezbollah and Hamas must be laughing their heads off as,

hey see their power grow
by Khaled Abu Toameh
{gatestoneinstitute.org} The latest "reconciliation" deal between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas brings the Palestinians closer to creating a state-within-a-state in the Gaza Strip... The PA and Hamas will now have two separate mini-states of their own in the Gaza Strip. This arrangement is similar to the situation in Lebanon, where Hezbollah maintains a separate mini-state of its own there. Hamas and Mahmoud Abbas's Palestinian Authority are now headed, willingly or unwillingly, towards plunging the Palestinians into a similar scenario as in Lebanon. The "reconciliation" accord they reached in Cairo paves the way for creating a mini-state within a mini-state in the Gaza Strip. These two "states" will be added to the mini-Palestinian Authority "state" that already exists in parts of the West Bank... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11111/palestinians-state-within-state.

Tom Cotton: Trump Should Not Recertify Iran
Nuclear Deal Even if Tehran is in Compliance
by Natalie Johnson
{reebeacon.com} ~ Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) on Tuesday said President Donald Trump should deny certification of the Iran nuclear accord when it comes up for renewal later this month... regardless of whether or not Tehran is in technical compliance, given its failure to prevent a nuclear Iran. "Even if they were complying with it—even if it was fully verifiable they were complying with it, which it's not and which they aren't, it is still not in our viable national security interests because it does not block Iran's path to a bomb," Cotton said in an evening address before the Council on Foreign Relations. Cotton, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, stopped short of calling for a complete withdrawal from the accord. Instead, he urged a renegotiation and pledged to work with lawmakers to "begin the work of strengthening it and counteracting Iranian aggression with the threat of sanctions and military action, if necessary."... http://freebeacon.com/national-security/tom-cotton-trump-not-recertify-iran-nuclear-deal-even-tehran-compliance/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=0f4e28c8b1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_10_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-0f4e28c8b1-45611665.

Math, History and Tax Reform
{townhall.com} ~ In school, I liked math the least and history the most. Both can be useful in the coming debate over President Trump's proposed tax reforms.
The one thing I learned in math class is that if the formula is wrong, the answer will be wrong. In history class, I learned we are not the first people to occupy the planet and that the experiences of those who came before us can be helpful when considering contemporary issues.
There is another formula which, when tried, has succeeded. It worked for John F. Kennedy, who cut taxes; ditto for Ronald Reagan yes, he also raised taxes, but by then economic growth was such that they did not have a negative effect.
And it worked for Calvin Coolidge whose philosophy, life and presidency have much to teach us today, but those addicted to government need to go to rehab to break their reliance on Washington and improve their lives.
In Robert Sobel's biography, "Coolidge: An American Enigma," these quotes from the 30th president are highlighted: "I am convinced that the larger incomes of the country would actually yield more revenue to the government if the basis of taxation were scientifically revised downward."
Then there is this Coolidgeism: "I want the people of America to be able to work less for the government and more for themselves. I want them to have the rewards of their own industry. That is the chief meaning of freedom. Until we can re-establish a condition under which the earnings of the people can be kept by the people, we are bound to suffer a very distinct curtailment of our liberty."
About public debt, which has just passed $20 trillion and would have appalled him, Coolidge said: "Public debt is a burden on all the people." Coolidge left office with a surplus.
Senate Minority Leader Charles clown-Schumer (D-NY) has brought out the familiar liberal playbook, demonizing the "rich" and claiming they will benefit most from any tax cut. People who have acquired their wealth honestly through hard work and wise decisions should be role models, not demonized as if they have stolen from others.
President Trump should start reading the indecipherable tax code aloud at public events and say, "This is what your Congress has done to you." He should bring people on stage to tell their stories of how high taxes have harmed, even ruined, their businesses. These should include people who have lost family farms handed down through generations because of the estate, or "death tax," which forced them to sell the land in order to pay the government.
Public testimonies can be more effective than debating economic philosophy.
Washington always assumes we aren't sending it enough of the money we earn. President Trump should say we are going to start telling Washington how much of our money we intend to let them spend.
The left hasn't had a new economic idea in 70 years. Its old idea of more taxation and spending is the wrong formula, and it's producing harmful results. History can show us a better way. We can start with Coolidge.

Thursday, October 5, 2017
The Flag of the United States of America is flying at half-mast today as it has been since the Mandalay Bay massacre in Las Vegas. It signifies a nation in mourning over the senseless and brutal deaths of the innocent. We are a nation in mourning. Yet there are people who neither will allow mourning, nor respect it. Promoting their own self-indulgent causes must continue no matter the cause of decency. They have only their own honor, an example of what Judges 17:6 describes as "every man did that which was right in his own eyes." When I look at that flag at half-mast, and the lack of respect certain people have for it and the country, it reminds me of the sacrifices true patriots have made for freedom.
I've been involved in a lot of conversations lately about the flag. Many, in fact, most, say that people should be forced to stand for the playing of the National Anthem and the presentation of the flag. To me, true freedom is not about forcing someone to recognize it. It is about the individual embracing it in their hearts-where the American ideal resides. They should have enough good sense to stand even if it is just out of respect for those who gave their blood, sweat and tears that others might have the freedom to protest societal wrongs. Forcing someone to stand during the National Anthem and presentation of the flag may have better optics, but is it truly representative of liberty? Let me give another thought.
Some years ago, my wife and I along with some very brave parents started a Christian home school co-op. We taught all the grades and had about 15 students ranging from first grade to high school. Each morning, we started the school with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. When I would ask who would like to lead the Pledge, it was like pulling teeth. They didn't have any problem praying, but holding that flag and leading the Pledge was a different story. I talked it over with others who said just to mandate it and force them to do it. But that didn't set well with me. So I started telling true stories about the flag, the heroic efforts of those who carried it into battle, and what it meant to people. The attitudes changed and soon all the students, younger and older, were asking if they could hold the flag and lead the Pledge.
My family has been in this land since the Mayflower. I know how hard it was for those who came before me to settle in a wilderness and carve out a farm, a community, a state, a country. I respect that and honor them for it. We never owned slaves. We were part of the abolitionist movement. We treated people fairly and tried to do what was right. Our heritage speaks to it, like so many Americans. I will stand for the flag and the National Anthem because I know what's behind it. It's important for our children to understand the "why" and the "what" that they may respect and cherish freedom AND know when it is appropriate to defend it, and when it is appropriate and responsible to stand against tyranny.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

San Juan Mayor Feuding With Trump Turned Her Back When Asked to Swear to Uphold the Constitution
October 4, 2017/by Rachel del Guidice
A 2013 video shows the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, turning her back when asked to swear to uphold the Constitution.
Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB9tNPbDW-E
On Saturday, President Donald Trump called out Carmen Yulín Cruz, the mayor, for her “poor leadership ability” in a tweet. The day prior, Cruz had been critical, saying, “If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency.” Cruz first became mayor of San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, in 2013. When taking the oath of office, Cruz delayed repeating the words that she would “uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States,” turning her back to the woman administering the oath for a long moment. The English and Spanish versions of the oath read as follows: I, Carmen Yulin Cruz Soto, as mayor of San Juan, solemnly swear that I shall uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and Laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico against any domestic or foreign enemy; that I will render fidelity and adherence to them; and that I assume this obligation freely and without mental reserve or purpose to evade it; and that I will perform well and faithfully the duties of the position or employment that I am about to exercise. So help me God. Yo, Carmen Yulin Cruz Soto, como alcaldesa de San Juan juro solemnemente que mantendré y defenderé la Constitución de los Estados Unidos y la Constitución y las Leyes del Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico contra todo enemigo interior o exterior; que prestaré fidelidad y adhesión a las mismas; y que asumo esta obligación libremente y sin reserva mental ni propósito de evadirla; y que desempeñaré bien y fielmente los deberes del cargo o empleo que estoy próximo a ejercer. Así me ayude Dios. Article VI, Section 16 of Puerto Rico’s Constitution states, “All public officials and employees of the Commonwealth, its agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions, before entering upon their respective duties, shall take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.” After turning her back and pausing, Cruz does swear to defend the Constitution, and then enthusiastically repeats to uphold the Puerto Rican Constitution. “During June of this year, when the leading newspaper in Puerto Rico polled people on the island about her performance as mayor, she had an abysmal 24 percent approval rating,” says Ken Oliver-Méndez, former assistant secretary of state of Puerto Rico. “She is known for maligning and stoking sentiment against the United States, and people know that if it were up to her, Puerto Rico would not even be part of the United States. She has said on record that in her party, there is no room for people who believe in the permanent union of Puerto Rico and the United States,” Oliver-Méndez, director of Media Research Center Latino, added. Oliver-Méndez, who previously headed the speechwriting team of former Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuño, unearthed the 2013 video. Cruz called Trump’s visit to Puerto Rico to survey the damage of Hurricane Maria “insulting,” Politico reported. “This was a PR, 17-minute meeting,” Cruz said. “There was no exchange with anybody, with none of the mayors. And in fact, this terrible and abominable view of him throwing paper towels and throwing provisions at people, it really—it does not embody the spirit of the American nation, you know?” On Twitter, Trump defended his stance of the visit to Puerto Rico. The Daily Signal requested comment from the San Juan City Hall and the office of Rep. Jenniffer González-Colón of the New Progressive Party. González-Colón is Puerto Rico’s only representative in Congress.

Antifa’s Next Target? America’s Police
October 4, 2017/by WND
The left-wing extremist group known as antifa is gearing up for insurrection. And the primary target may be America’s already beleaguered police force. A special report from WND reveals a number of antifa groups have begun explicitly targeting police departments on the grounds the thin blue line is composed of “oppressors.” Among the most militant is the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement, or RAM, a new group whose activities have been widely covered by the antifa information hub It’s Going Down. RAM most recently drew headlines when it announced plans to deface and destroy more historical monuments on Oct. 9 as part of an upcoming “Deface Columbus Day.” However, a closer look at the group reveals a far more ambitious and radical agenda. The group’s program draws inspiration from convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal, who murdered Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in December 1981. RAM claims “essentially, the Civil War never ended” and suggests slavery still exists. (Read more from “Antifa’s Next Target?

Las Vegas Shooter: Multimillionaire, Ex-IRS Agent, Postman, Defense Contractor Who Sheriff Says “Did Not Act Alone”
The Strange Background of the Las Vegas Shooter
By JENNIFER MEDINA, RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA and ADAM GOLDMAN. Law enforcement officials have said they are confident that Mr. Paddock, who had no prior criminal record, was the sole gunman on Sunday. Though the Islamic State group has claimed that he was one of its followers, officials say that they have found no evidence so far that he had ties to any extremist group. . .
His work history was not completely clear; his brother has described him as a wealthy retiree. Mr. Paddock worked for the federal government for roughly 10 years, from 1975 to 1985, a spokeswoman for the Office of Personnel Management confirmed.
Investigators unearthed multiple job applications, with Mr. Paddock’s fingerprints on file, as part of records reflecting his employment as a letter carrier for the Postal Service in the mid 1970s; as an Internal Revenue Service agent from 1978 to 1984; and as an auditor focused on defense contracts, a job he held until 1985. He also worked in the 1980s for one of the companies that later combined to form Lockheed Martin, the aerospace contractor.

Sheriff: Paddock Did Not Act Alone
By Vincent Wood. Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said: “At face value he had to have some help at some point and we want to ensure that that’s the answer.
“Maybe he was a superhuman who figured this out all on his own but it would be hard for me to believe that.”
Police confirmed the shooter “meticulously” planned his strike on the Route 91 Harvest Festival from his vantage points in the Mandalay Hotel.
Officers, who are investigating the double life of the cold-blooded killer, believe he spent decades acquiring weapons and living a “secret life”. (Read more from this story about the Las Vegas shooter HERE)

Las Vegas Shooter a “Multi-Millionaire”
By Brad Tuttle. Paddock also appears to have been quite wealthy. . . He owned two planes and was a licensed pilot, and owned homes in four states, according to the Washington Post. His brother said that Stephen Paddock made some $2 million when the two sold their real estate business a few years ago. And just before the massacre, he wired $100,000 to his girlfriend, Marilou Danley, in the Philippines, a transaction investigators are still attempting to explain. . .
Much of Paddock’s money appears to have been spent in casinos. NBC News reported that Paddock often gambled at least $10,000 a day in Las Vegas casinos, and sometimes upwards of $30,000 per day. He reportedly gambled a total of at least $160,000 at Vegas casinos in the weeks before the mass shooting.
It’s unclear how much he won or lost over this time span.A few years ago, he described himself as a “professional gambler by trade” according to his then-neighbor in central Florida, before he moved to Nevada. . .
Eric Paddock said that his brother Stephen pocketed roughly $2 million a few years ago when they sold off the real estate business they ran together. “He’s a multimillionaire,” Eric said, according to New York. “He helped me become affluent, he made me wealthy.” (Read more from this story about the Las Vegas shooter HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/10/las-vegas-shooter-multimillionaire/
Hillary Clinton Blames Republicans and NRA For Gun Violence
Hillary Clinton is making news again regarding the horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas.
Clinton was very quick to comment on the shooting. The morning after the tragic event she attacked the NRA in a tweet:
Our grief isn’t enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.
In the days following the tragedy, Clinton is continuing to attack the NRA and Republicans by blaming them for gun violence.
The Washington Free Beacon reported on Clinton’s interview on the Center for American Progress’ podcast:
Hillary Clinton, in the wake of the Las Vegas mass shooting, said on Monday that Republicans are “captured by the NRA” and they are “complicit” in violent crime.
The two-time presidential candidate spoke on the Center for American Progress’ “Thinking Cap” podcast, where she spoke about the Las Vegas shooting and advocated for “broad-based social change” toward gun control, Mediaite reported. Clinton argued gun deregulation is the result of the NRA’s lobbying power over the Republican Party.
“The way the Republican Party has been captured by the NRA, which has intimidated a lot of Democrats … is one of the worst developments of the last 25 years,” she said.
Clinton is not the only Democrat trying to exploit the mass shooting tragedy.
Democrat Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal is promoting gun control during TV interviews and he also issued a statement.
“Although many details of this mass shooting remain unclear, one thing is certain: yet again, we are watching in horror as another American community is torn apart by the terrible devastation wrought by a gunman. My heart breaks for Las Vegas: the victims, their families, their friends, and their entire community. It has been barely a year since what was previously the largest mass shooting in American history – the deadly attack at Pulse nightclub. In the interim, thousands more have been lost to the daily, ruthless toll of gun violence. Still, Congress refuses to act. I am more than frustrated, I am furious.”
Michelle Obama People Don’t Trust Politics Because of ‘White Republican Men’
Michelle Obama railed against evil white men while speaking about ‘diversity’ at a Pennsylvania Conference for Women on Tuesday. Classy.
Michelle Obama complained about the ‘colors’ she would see when she attended the State of the Union addresses. Naturally, this is how a divisive, cultural Marxist sees the world. Instead of Americans, she see ‘colors’.
Obama expressed her disgust for all of the white Republican men and said, “no wonder people don’t trust politics.”
“On one side of the room, it’s literally gray and white. Literally, that’s the color palette on one side of the room. On the other side of the room, there are yellows and blues and whites and greens. Physically, there’s a difference in color, in the tone. Because one side: all men, all white. On the other side: some women, some people of color.”

Fan Sends Devastating Letter To Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin
BOOM! Fan’s Letter DESTROYS NFL Coach Who Held #CrookedHillary Fundraiser
And the blows just keep on coming to the NFL!
At this point, there isn’t even much need for all that background. However, just in the last few days, well after the damage has been done, we’ve learned that:
– a Kansas City Chief not only sat during the National Anthem but mouthed to a fan something which rhymes with “stuck view, witch”
– numerous NFL holier-than-thou protesters have considerable arrest records
– people’s feelings are hurt because the Tennessee Titans did not sign Colin Kaepernick on the roster after an injury to their starting quarterback
Now making the rounds is a BRUTAL letter to Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin from an anonymous blogger who goes by “Lovely.”
Dear Mike Tomlin, James Harrison, Ben Roethlisberger and any other Steeler who feels a need to criticize Bronze Star recipient Alejandro Villanueva for honoring the flag that his brothers came home under, you can all go to hell.
On Sunday your team had 3 options, stand and support America, sit/kneel and disrespect America or 3 take the coward’s way out and abstain, vote present, hide in the tunnel because you were too afraid to be seen as pro-American or Anti-American. What a vile low candy-ass choice you made.
Why should anyone be forced to act in a way that is against their moral code? The poor boys’ millionaire club could not all agree on whether or not to disrespect America so you hid. We Americans understand. Trust me.
Let the kneelers kneel, the sitters sit, the Patriots stand, own your beliefs. Own your side. Everyone with a working knowledge of contract law knows that the players disrespecting America could have been fined in accordance with their contract.
You’ve taken something that unites Americans of every color, creed, and religion and managed to divide them through your cowardliness and fear of offending the “wrong ” people. Fine them or fire them this is behavior that is covered in their contracts “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the National Football League.”
Your decision to hide in the tunnel is disgusting and cowardly. Your decision to criticize Alejandro Villanueva a war veteran, a man who fought for your freedom, a man who saved lives, a man who was willing to lay his life down for you, a bronze heart recipient is beyond words.
Mike Tomlin, James Harrison, Ben Roethlisberger and any Steeler who has the audacity to criticize or question Alejandro Villanueva standing for the National Anthem, choosing country over his team, you are what is wrong with America. As a team, you boys get a ball from one of a field to another side of the field and celebrate. As a man, Villanueva rescued wounded soldiers while under enemy fire and you cowardly clowns are hiding in a tunnel because you couldn’t decide whether or not to stand or sit for the American flag have the misguided intrepidity to criticize Villanueva’s dedication to America?
Tomlin, it should be noted, hosted an expensive fundraiser last year for not-yet-indicted felon Hillary Clinton at his home, with ticket prices reportedly costing over $30,000.

FUMBLING THE FOOTBALL
by Burt Prelutsky

Bump Stocks — Simulating Full Auto
by Political Editors: The Las Vegas assailant used a “bump stock” device to increase the rate of fire in his attack. A bump stock harnesses the recoil energy of the rifle, making it possible to “ride” the trigger to increase the cyclic rate of fire, thus simulating a select fire weapon. This device serves a single purpose — to circumvent the 1934 effective ban on automatic weapons without a permit.
Here is a bump stock demonstration:
While a bump stock increases the rate of fire significantly, it does so at the expense of accuracy. However, firing into a dense crowd doesn’t require accuracy. In Las Vegas, the assailant’s high perch in combination with the use of a bump stock made this massacre more deadly.
On a related note regarding “silencers,” after the Las Vegas assault, liar-Hillary Clinton declared, “The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.” People in a crowded venue are going to flee whenever those around them are being murdered, regardless of where the shots are coming from. At a distance, suppressors, which have been legal to own for years, do make detecting the source of a bullet more difficult to detect. However, according to the FBI, “assault weapons” are estimated to have been used in less than than 0.5% (one-half of 1%) of all murders. There is no record of an assault rifle being used with a suppressor in a murder case, but here’s what a suppressed weapon sounds like:

{rickwells.us} ~ Martha MacCallum reminds us in her introduction of Lt Col Tony Shaffer that he is a CIA-trained intel operative... as he details his perspectives on the Las Vegas terrorist attack. He says, “I think it’s shaping up to be a very deliberate act of terror, this is beyond dispute. The question becomes motive.” He believes most of the clues for the motive are right in front of us, noting the parallels with the person who shot Rep Steve Scalise (R-LA). Shaffer says the target was “politically selected,” with the perception being that there would be a lot of pro-gun folks there and Trump supporters. He says he believes that Paddock felt it was a legitimate target of political expression... https://rickwells.us/shaffer-vegas-trump-target-girlfriend/.

Predictably and Despicably, Dems Exploit Vegas to Push Gun Control

by Paul Albaugh: The nation’s worst shooting massacre happened Sunday night in Las Vegas, where 59 people attending a country music concert were murdered and more than 500 wounded. Jason Aldean was performing when the assailant opened fire from his 32nd floor hotel room. This was a horrendous act of mass murder — what President Donald Trump correctly called “pure evil.” It’s a grim reminder that evil human beings will go to extreme measures to inflict pain and suffering on others.http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj113/kiluan/divider.gif" />
The Never-Trumpers were having a field day on the football field so long as they got to call all the plays, flag all the penalties and invent an opposing team consisting solely of straw men.
When Trump called them a bunch of s.o.b.’s, lunkheads like Jeff Robinson, Deputy Legal Director of the ACLU, snapped at the bait, insisting that the President “has misled people into thinking the protests are just about the flag, or the national anthem. So, let’s turn to what this protest was about from the beginning: the epidemic of police in this country killing black and brown people with no accountability.”
While nobody denies that there has been a spate of questionable killings by cops -- some white, some black, some Hispanic -- the unvarnished truth that Mr. Robinson and every other cheap race hustler -- be they white, black or Hispanic -- chooses to ignore is that most of the violent crime in America is committed by young black and Hispanic thugs.
Trump called the spoiled players, owners and commissioner of the NFL, sons of bitches because that, in the main, is what they are. And everyone who doesn’t have a vested interest in seeing Trump removed from office or at least seeing his administration go down in flames, knows that’s what they are.
In case anyone believes there isn’t a left-wing political agenda behind the NFL’s taking a knee, my friend Steve Maikoski passed along the work history of Joe Lockhart, who serves as the Executive VP and top public relations official for the league.
In 1980, he worked on Jimmy Carter’s failed re-election campaign.
In 1984, he worked as press secretary for presidential candidate Walter Mondale. 1988 was a busy year for Mr. Lockhart, who started out working to garner Illinois Senator Paul Simon the presidential nomination, then moved on to working to get Michael Dukakis elected; and when that didn’t pan out, he went into private practice, where he worked for the Al Nahayan family during the BCCI financial scandal.
In 1996, he worked to help liar-Bill Clinton get re-elected. It marked the first time he was on the winning side of an election. That garnered him the opportunity to serve as liar-Clinton’s Press Secretary during the impeachment proceedings.
In 2004, he returned to form by serving as senior advisor to presidential candidate John hanoi-Kerry. While in that position, he played a key role in providing Dan Rather with the false report about George W. Bush’s service in the National Guard. At least, that wound up costing Rather his job at CBS, so it’s not as if Lockhart hasn’t done something positive for America.
Between 2011 and 2013, Lockhart was the company spokesman for Facebook. Then, in 2016, Lockhart signed on with the NFL and also found the time to sell the liar-nObamas his home in Washington, D.C., which was always intended to serve as the seat of liar-nObama’s shadow government. It is from Lockhart’s former living room that the liar-nObamas and Valerie Jarrett, in concert with George Soros’s ill-gotten billions, are waging what they refer to as the Resistance.
● It’s a shame that so many basic things that Americans should agree about have become so partisan that one’s political identity pre-determines one’s position. For instance, consider immigration. What rational human being, including even someone as liberal as liar-Bill Clinton, would have envisioned 25 years ago that the Democrats would defend the right of people who had snuck into this nation -- simultaneously cutting the wages of the lower class, while taxing the resources of the middleclass -- to not only remain, but have mayors and governors offer them sanctuary, in violation of federal law?
But, so long as liberals pretend that the millions of people who dislike Barack liar-nObama, liar-Hillary Clinton or illegal aliens, are racist, sexist or xenophobic, I can guarantee they will continue losing elections. Even easy-going, good-natured, people, which Americans, by and large, happen to be, dislike being insulted and having their motives impugned.
Speaking for myself, and I suspect a few others, I am getting sick and tired of hearing how this is a nation of immigrants and how important diversity is in forging the future path of the nation.
This is, in fact, mainly a nation of the native-born, many of whose ancestors came here between 1870 and 1920. We have nothing against immigrants who wait in line and come here legally. We welcome them wholeheartedly. However, we have a natural contempt of people who butt in line, whether it’s to get into a ballpark, a movie theater or our nation.
And if diversity is as important as those on the Left are always claiming, how about we take in a few more immigrants from England and Eastern Europe and a few less from Latin America and the Middle East?
In case anyone else thinks that America is no different and certainly no better than other countries, I heard a caller to a radio talk show, an attorney whose work takes him to foreign capitals, point out what should be obvious to all: America is the only nation in history that grants absolute freedom to the nations it defeats in wars.
● Although the jokes have been sparse of late, I have received a couple of amusing lists. The highlights of the first, supplied by Joe McNeeley, pride of West Salem, IL, include:
“I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So, I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.”
“I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.”
“To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.”
“A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk is a work station….”
“Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the edge of a pool and throw them fish.”
“Hospitality: making your guests feel like they’re at home, even if you wish they were.”
“When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.”
“You’re never too old to learn something stupid.”
“Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.”
“The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it’s still on the list.”
● My old friend Dr. Harry Maller, who gives Van Nuys, CA, something to brag about, has passed along what some people might consider clichés and stereotypes about Jews, unless, of course, they happen to be Jewish and recognize reality when they face it.
“My mother is a typical Jewish mother. Once she was on jury duty. They sent her home because she kept insisting SHE was guilty.”
“Any time a person goes into a delicatessen and orders pastrami on white bread with mayo, somewhere a Jew dies.”
“An elderly Jewish man is knocked down by a car and brought to the nearest hospital. That evening, when a nurse tucks him into bed, she asks: “Mr. Greenbaum, are you comfortable?” With a shrug, he replies: “I make a living.”
“A rabbi was opening his mail one morning. Removing a single sheet from an envelope, he found a one-word message: “Schmuck.” At the next Friday night service, the rabbi announced: “I have known many people who have written letters and forgotten to sign their names. This week, I received one from someone who signed his name, but forgot to write a letter.”
“Three Jewish women got together for lunch. As they took their seats, one took a deep breath and let out a long, slow “Oy.” The next one took a deep breath, and let out an equally long, slow “Oy.” The third lady looked at her friends and said: “Girls, I thought we all agreed we weren’t going to talk about our children.”
“An elderly waiter comes over to a table of Jewish women -- perhaps that very same table -- and asks, “Is anything alright?”

Jason Aldean was performing when the assailant opened fire from his 32nd floor hotel room. This was a horrendous act of mass murder — what President Donald Trump correctly called “pure evil.” It’s a grim reminder that evil human beings will go to extreme measures to inflict pain and suffering on others.
As evil as this massacre was, gun controllers took to the microphone before any facts surrounding this atrocity were unveiled. Leftists immediately screamed about how their preferred policies would have prevented this tragedy without presenting any facts to back up their claim.
What follows is a litany of lies from many leftists using this tragedy to advance their agenda to strip Liberty from law-abiding citizens.
After trotting out a series of completely bogus statistics, House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi pontificated in a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan, “Congress has a moral duty to address this horrific and heartbreaking epidemic. Charged with the solemn duty to protect and defend the American people, we must respond to these tragedies with courage, unity and decisive action.” By which she means to pass left-wing anti-gun legislation curtailing the Second Amendment.
Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy from Connecticut insisted, “This must stop. … It is positively infuriating that my colleagues in Congress are so afraid of the gun industry that they pretend there aren’t public policy responses to this epidemic.” He added, “The thoughts and prayers of politicians are cruelly hollow if they are paired with continued legislative indifference. It’s time for Congress to get off its a— and do something.”
Connecticut’s other Democrat senator, Richard Blumenthal, added, “It has been barely a year since what was previously the largest mass shooting in American history — the deadly attack at Pulse nightclub. … In the interim, thousands more have been lost to the daily, ruthless toll of gun violence. Still, Congress refuses to act. I am more than frustrated. I am furious!”
Joe “Double Barrel Shotgun” loose lips-Biden posted on Twitter, “How long do we let gun violence tear families apart? Enough. Congress & the WH should act now to save lives. There’s no excuse for inaction.”
Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) argued, “The problem is that ‘enough’ was many, many years and many, many brutal deaths ago.”
Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D-MA) tweeted, “Thoughts & prayers are NOT enough. … We need to have the conversation about how to stop gun violence. We need it NOW.”
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) added, “How many lives must be lost before we act?”
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) commented, “We suffer these horrific events repeatedly and do nothing to stop them. We must do better.”
“Enough is enough,” Rep. Mike Thompson tweeted. “Congress should come together and establish a Select Committee to end gun violence.” While they’re at it, maybe they could end world hunger and poverty.
Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York and perennial leading advocate for gun control, opined that leaders should “resolve to stop mass shootings in America — and back up our words with actions.”
And of course, liar-Hillary Clinton, the defeated presidential candidate who should be in jail instead of making public comments, urged the public to not politicize this mass murder — but then immediately politicized it. “Our grief isn’t enough,” she lectured. “We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.” In other words, defenders of the Second Amendment must put our politics aside to follow her politics.
liar-Clinton also launched into factually challenged nonsense: “The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.”
Which brings us to several facts that these cynical exploiters conveniently leave out.
It is true that the NRA has been pushing for years to have Congress allow “silencers” to be less regulated. But there is a huge misconception about these tools that liar-Clinton and many others exploit. A “silencer” is more accurately called a suppressor. It reduces the loudness and flash of a firearm but it does not completely silence it. In other words, a silencer makes a gun slightly less loud (though it’s still roughly the decibel level of a jackhammer), and it was invented to protect hearing for those who regularly practice shooting. It does not, as Hollywood imagines, allow someone to fire a weapon that cannot be heard by others in the next room.
Another consideration is whether the killer used a fully automatic weapon to carry out this attack on innocent people as early reports speculated. It’s more likely that the killer used a “bump fire” stock attachment that allows a semiautomatic rifle to simulate automatic fire. If that’s the case, Democrats will go after such accessories and Republicans will have a difficult time playing defense.
Either way, the truth is, as Charles C.W. Cooke points out, “He had so many weapons that it’ll be a while before we know which ones he chose." Nevertheless, the media is quick to blame Republicans for failing to renew the liar-Clinton administration’s 1994 "assault weapons” ban. That ban applied to semiautomatic rifles, not fully automatic ones.
Fully automatic weapons already have the severest restrictions of any firearm. It is illegal to sell or buy a new one. Fully automatic weapons that were made and owned before 1986 are still in circulation but they are extremely expensive, are very difficult to acquire and have very strict rules that come with them. In order to own a fully automatic weapon, a $200 tax must be paid along with a lengthy application form to the ATF. If, after a lengthy background check, someone is approved to own a fully automatic weapon, then the ATF enters that individual’s information into a registry and the local law enforcement within that jurisdiction is notified. Fully automatic weapons are also almost never used in homicides — just three times since 1934, and two of those were by police.
The Democrat talking points about gun control are completely blown out of the water with these facts, but the Leftmedia come to their aid.
Yet, as they do with every heinous shooting, Democrats continue to use the blood of innocents to push for more restrictions and even to completely outlaw firearm ownership. They call for more controls despite the fact that there are already 20,000 laws on the books to restrict firearm use. Chicago, a city leftists love to tout as an example of why we need more firearm regulations, already has the most stringent gun laws to go with the highest crime rate of any city in the U.S.
Moreover, a gun is an object, a tool. Monstrous murder sprees using those tools are committed only by evil or mentally deranged people. The argument from the Left goes something like this: “Well, if there were no guns, then evil people could not inflict such great harm.” Wrong! Evil people will use any means to inflict harm; knives, baseball bats, explosives, vehicles (as when 84 people were slaughtered in Nice, France) and many other objects could be used. Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin perhaps said it best: “You can’t regulate evil.”
We also need to be reminded of the reason that our Founding Fathers were so adamant about protecting We the People from government encroachment on the natural right to defend oneself with a firearm. Our right to keep and bear arms is the greatest deterrent to a tyrannical government that would want to enslave its people. Without gun ownership, there is no defense of Liberty. That doesn’t change even in the face of the horrific violence in Las Vegas. ~The Patriot Post

Bump Stocks — Simulating Full Auto
by Political Editors: The Las Vegas assailant used a “bump stock” device to increase the rate of fire in his attack. A bump stock harnesses the recoil energy of the rifle, making it possible to “ride” the trigger to increase the cyclic rate of fire, thus simulating a select fire weapon. This device serves a single purpose — to circumvent the 1934 effective ban on automatic weapons without a permit.
Here is a bump stock demonstration:
While a bump stock increases the rate of fire significantly, it does so at the expense of accuracy. However, firing into a dense crowd doesn’t require accuracy. In Las Vegas, the assailant’s high perch in combination with the use of a bump stock made this massacre more deadly.
On a related note regarding “silencers,” after the Las Vegas assault, liar-Hillary Clinton declared, “The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.” People in a crowded venue are going to flee whenever those around them are being murdered, regardless of where the shots are coming from. At a distance, suppressors, which have been legal to own for years, do make detecting the source of a bullet more difficult to detect. However, according to the FBI, “assault weapons” are estimated to have been used in less than than 0.5% (one-half of 1%) of all murders. There is no record of an assault rifle being used with a suppressor in a murder case, but here’s what a suppressed weapon sounds like:

Shaffer – Vegas Terrorist Chose Trump
Target, Girlfriend Had To Know Something
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Martha MacCallum reminds us in her introduction of Lt Col Tony Shaffer that he is a CIA-trained intel operative... as he details his perspectives on the Las Vegas terrorist attack. He says, “I think it’s shaping up to be a very deliberate act of terror, this is beyond dispute. The question becomes motive.” He believes most of the clues for the motive are right in front of us, noting the parallels with the person who shot Rep Steve Scalise (R-LA). Shaffer says the target was “politically selected,” with the perception being that there would be a lot of pro-gun folks there and Trump supporters. He says he believes that Paddock felt it was a legitimate target of political expression... https://rickwells.us/shaffer-vegas-trump-target-girlfriend/.

by Paul Albaugh: The nation’s worst shooting massacre happened Sunday night in Las Vegas, where 59 people attending a country music concert were murdered and more than 500 wounded. Jason Aldean was performing when the assailant opened fire from his 32nd floor hotel room. This was a horrendous act of mass murder — what President Donald Trump correctly called “pure evil.” It’s a grim reminder that evil human beings will go to extreme measures to inflict pain and suffering on others. As evil as this massacre was, gun controllers took to the microphone before any facts surrounding this atrocity were unveiled. Leftists immediately screamed about how their preferred policies would have prevented this tragedy without presenting any facts to back up their claim.
What follows is a litany of lies from many leftists using this tragedy to advance their agenda to strip Liberty from law-abiding citizens.
After trotting out a series of completely bogus statistics, House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi pontificated in a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan, “Congress has a moral duty to address this horrific and heartbreaking epidemic. Charged with the solemn duty to protect and defend the American people, we must respond to these tragedies with courage, unity and decisive action.” By which she means to pass left-wing anti-gun legislation curtailing the Second Amendment.
Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy from Connecticut insisted, “This must stop. … It is positively infuriating that my colleagues in Congress are so afraid of the gun industry that they pretend there aren’t public policy responses to this epidemic.” He added, “The thoughts and prayers of politicians are cruelly hollow if they are paired with continued legislative indifference. It’s time for Congress to get off its a— and do something.”
Connecticut’s other Democrat senator, Richard Blumenthal, added, “It has been barely a year since what was previously the largest mass shooting in American history — the deadly attack at Pulse nightclub. … In the interim, thousands more have been lost to the daily, ruthless toll of gun violence. Still, Congress refuses to act. I am more than frustrated. I am furious!”
Joe “Double Barrel Shotgun” loose lips-Biden posted on Twitter, “How long do we let gun violence tear families apart? Enough. Congress & the WH should act now to save lives. There’s no excuse for inaction.”
Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) argued, “The problem is that ‘enough’ was many, many years and many, many brutal deaths ago.”
Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D-MA) tweeted, “Thoughts & prayers are NOT enough. … We need to have the conversation about how to stop gun violence. We need it NOW.”
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) added, “How many lives must be lost before we act?”
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) commented, “We suffer these horrific events repeatedly and do nothing to stop them. We must do better.”
“Enough is enough,” Rep. Mike Thompson tweeted. “Congress should come together and establish a Select Committee to end gun violence.” While they’re at it, maybe they could end world hunger and poverty.
Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York and perennial leading advocate for gun control, opined that leaders should “resolve to stop mass shootings in America — and back up our words with actions.”
And of course, liar-Hillary Clinton, the defeated presidential candidate who should be in jail instead of making public comments, urged the public to not politicize this mass murder — but then immediately politicized it. “Our grief isn’t enough,” she lectured. “We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.” In other words, defenders of the Second Amendment must put our politics aside to follow her politics.
liar-Clinton also launched into factually challenged nonsense: “The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.”
Which brings us to several facts that these cynical exploiters conveniently leave out.
It is true that the NRA has been pushing for years to have Congress allow “silencers” to be less regulated. But there is a huge misconception about these tools that liar-Clinton and many others exploit. A “silencer” is more accurately called a suppressor. It reduces the loudness and flash of a firearm but it does not completely silence it. In other words, a silencer makes a gun slightly less loud (though it’s still roughly the decibel level of a jackhammer), and it was invented to protect hearing for those who regularly practice shooting. It does not, as Hollywood imagines, allow someone to fire a weapon that cannot be heard by others in the next room.
Another consideration is whether the killer used a fully automatic weapon to carry out this attack on innocent people as early reports speculated. It’s more likely that the killer used a “bump fire” stock attachment that allows a semiautomatic rifle to simulate automatic fire. If that’s the case, Democrats will go after such accessories and Republicans will have a difficult time playing defense.
Either way, the truth is, as Charles C.W. Cooke points out, “He had so many weapons that it’ll be a while before we know which ones he chose." Nevertheless, the media is quick to blame Republicans for failing to renew the liar-Clinton administration’s 1994 "assault weapons” ban. That ban applied to semiautomatic rifles, not fully automatic ones.
Fully automatic weapons already have the severest restrictions of any firearm. It is illegal to sell or buy a new one. Fully automatic weapons that were made and owned before 1986 are still in circulation but they are extremely expensive, are very difficult to acquire and have very strict rules that come with them. In order to own a fully automatic weapon, a $200 tax must be paid along with a lengthy application form to the ATF. If, after a lengthy background check, someone is approved to own a fully automatic weapon, then the ATF enters that individual’s information into a registry and the local law enforcement within that jurisdiction is notified. Fully automatic weapons are also almost never used in homicides — just three times since 1934, and two of those were by police.
The Democrat talking points about gun control are completely blown out of the water with these facts, but the Leftmedia come to their aid.
Yet, as they do with every heinous shooting, Democrats continue to use the blood of innocents to push for more restrictions and even to completely outlaw firearm ownership. They call for more controls despite the fact that there are already 20,000 laws on the books to restrict firearm use. Chicago, a city leftists love to tout as an example of why we need more firearm regulations, already has the most stringent gun laws to go with the highest crime rate of any city in the U.S.
Moreover, a gun is an object, a tool. Monstrous murder sprees using those tools are committed only by evil or mentally deranged people. The argument from the Left goes something like this: “Well, if there were no guns, then evil people could not inflict such great harm.” Wrong! Evil people will use any means to inflict harm; knives, baseball bats, explosives, vehicles (as when 84 people were slaughtered in Nice, France) and many other objects could be used. Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin perhaps said it best: “You can’t regulate evil.”
We also need to be reminded of the reason that our Founding Fathers were so adamant about protecting We the People from government encroachment on the natural right to defend oneself with a firearm. Our right to keep and bear arms is the greatest deterrent to a tyrannical government that would want to enslave its people. Without gun ownership, there is no defense of Liberty. That doesn’t change even in the face of the horrific violence in Las Vegas. ~The Patriot Post

FUMBLING THE FOOTBALL
by Burt Prelutsky
The Never-Trumpers were having a field day on the football field so long as they got to call all the plays, flag all the penalties and invent an opposing team consisting solely of straw men.
When Trump called them a bunch of s.o.b.’s, lunkheads like Jeff Robinson, Deputy Legal Director of the ACLU, snapped at the bait, insisting that the President “has misled people into thinking the protests are just about the flag, or the national anthem. So, let’s turn to what this protest was about from the beginning: the epidemic of police in this country killing black and brown people with no accountability.”
While nobody denies that there has been a spate of questionable killings by cops -- some white, some black, some Hispanic -- the unvarnished truth that Mr. Robinson and every other cheap race hustler -- be they white, black or Hispanic -- chooses to ignore is that most of the violent crime in America is committed by young black and Hispanic thugs.
Trump called the spoiled players, owners and commissioner of the NFL, sons of bitches because that, in the main, is what they are. And everyone who doesn’t have a vested interest in seeing Trump removed from office or at least seeing his administration go down in flames, knows that’s what they are.
In case anyone believes there isn’t a left-wing political agenda behind the NFL’s taking a knee, my friend Steve Maikoski passed along the work history of Joe Lockhart, who serves as the Executive VP and top public relations official for the league.
In 1980, he worked on Jimmy Carter’s failed re-election campaign.
In 1984, he worked as press secretary for presidential candidate Walter Mondale. 1988 was a busy year for Mr. Lockhart, who started out working to garner Illinois Senator Paul Simon the presidential nomination, then moved on to working to get Michael Dukakis elected; and when that didn’t pan out, he went into private practice, where he worked for the Al Nahayan family during the BCCI financial scandal.
In 1996, he worked to help liar-Bill Clinton get re-elected. It marked the first time he was on the winning side of an election. That garnered him the opportunity to serve as liar-Clinton’s Press Secretary during the impeachment proceedings.
In 2004, he returned to form by serving as senior advisor to presidential candidate John hanoi-Kerry. While in that position, he played a key role in providing Dan Rather with the false report about George W. Bush’s service in the National Guard. At least, that wound up costing Rather his job at CBS, so it’s not as if Lockhart hasn’t done something positive for America.
Between 2011 and 2013, Lockhart was the company spokesman for Facebook. Then, in 2016, Lockhart signed on with the NFL and also found the time to sell the liar-nObamas his home in Washington, D.C., which was always intended to serve as the seat of liar-nObama’s shadow government. It is from Lockhart’s former living room that the liar-nObamas and Valerie Jarrett, in concert with George Soros’s ill-gotten billions, are waging what they refer to as the Resistance.
● It’s a shame that so many basic things that Americans should agree about have become so partisan that one’s political identity pre-determines one’s position. For instance, consider immigration. What rational human being, including even someone as liberal as liar-Bill Clinton, would have envisioned 25 years ago that the Democrats would defend the right of people who had snuck into this nation -- simultaneously cutting the wages of the lower class, while taxing the resources of the middleclass -- to not only remain, but have mayors and governors offer them sanctuary, in violation of federal law?
But, so long as liberals pretend that the millions of people who dislike Barack liar-nObama, liar-Hillary Clinton or illegal aliens, are racist, sexist or xenophobic, I can guarantee they will continue losing elections. Even easy-going, good-natured, people, which Americans, by and large, happen to be, dislike being insulted and having their motives impugned.
Speaking for myself, and I suspect a few others, I am getting sick and tired of hearing how this is a nation of immigrants and how important diversity is in forging the future path of the nation.
This is, in fact, mainly a nation of the native-born, many of whose ancestors came here between 1870 and 1920. We have nothing against immigrants who wait in line and come here legally. We welcome them wholeheartedly. However, we have a natural contempt of people who butt in line, whether it’s to get into a ballpark, a movie theater or our nation.
And if diversity is as important as those on the Left are always claiming, how about we take in a few more immigrants from England and Eastern Europe and a few less from Latin America and the Middle East?
In case anyone else thinks that America is no different and certainly no better than other countries, I heard a caller to a radio talk show, an attorney whose work takes him to foreign capitals, point out what should be obvious to all: America is the only nation in history that grants absolute freedom to the nations it defeats in wars.

Our Broken liar-nObama Military
Can’t Even Manage to Toss Out Traitors
by Kurt Schlichter.
Opinion in Brief
Ben Shapiro: “This week, an evil human being murdered nearly 60 Americans and wounded more than 500 others in Las Vegas. … But there was heroism, too. … It took hundreds of heroes to save hundreds of people; it took one evil man to wound and kill that many. On the one hand, it is impossible not to lament the extent of evil: A man attacking those who harmed him in no way, possibly gleefully murdering people attending a concert, makes us wonder at the rot that can infect the human heart. But on the other hand, in each incident of horror we must remember how much the good outweighed the evil. Were there hundreds of people like Stephen Paddock, thousands would have died; were there only one person attempting to stop the impact of Paddock’s evil, thousands would have died. All of which means that as we mourn the victims in Las Vegas, we must also celebrate the heroes. We should see the incident as proof of just how much light infuses America from its citizens — how many normal people run to help each other when evil strikes, when darkness threatens to divide us. So long as that light continues to unite us, America will emerge ready, as always, to fight that darkness.” ~The Patriot Post

Why Trump’s Appeals Court
Nominees Are Backed Up in the Senate
by Elizabeth Slattery
{dailysignal.com} ~ President Donald Trump’s nominations for judgeships on federal courts have been excellent so far, and his just-announced nominees to fill four appeals court vacancies in Texas and Louisiana are no exception... The four are among a slate of new judicial nominations rolled out Thursday by the president as he makes steady progress toward filling more than 160 current and future vacancies on the federal courts. Part of the problem is the Senate Judiciary Committee’s policy, known as “blue slips,” which asks the two senators from a nominee’s home state for their opinion before the committee holds a hearing or further evaluates the nominee...Wonder why the judges in the Supreme Court are not saying anything about the delates. http://dailysignal.com/2017/09/29/why-trumps-appeals-court-nominees-are-backed-up-in-the-senate/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell%22&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTTJRNU1UZ3lZMlZsWVRoaCIsInQiOiJJS1N5cjBmMlQ4OHNtUjZkZ0Jpa2lQYmtGUVJxM3ZoRjVMUlpkSjlQZHVaRmFvZzJ1QUVIbnl4N29jOVlTWTRMMEJvczhkOFpSa0FrT2xMQW1JQUM0RThPRkdta1Y5UlBsTjZERStPeXdvY3dnVHJhZkdYSTNOXC9OajhqUE9OeXkifQ%3D%3D

Failed GOP Leadership
by Todd Johnson: Following the recent failure of the Republican Party to even bring a cogent bill to the Senate floor to repeal liar-nObamaCare, it’s time to admit that the GOP is at an inflection point unlike any other seen in recent years. The caterwauling by the Republican leadership, specifically Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan, is leaving many right-leaning and independent voters with a sense of ennui and is putting the party of Lincoln and Reagan at serious risk of losing its majorities in both houses of Congress in 2018.
by Kurt Schlichter
{townhall.com} ~ After nearly a decade under President Faily McWorsethancarter, can our military win a fight with North Korea? Because if it is unable to perform the basic task of ensuring that the people commissioned to lead our troops in the defense of the United States are actually loyal to the United States, how the hell can we reasonably expect it to be able to conduct high-intensity combat operations against a Nork Army that prioritizes fighting over political correctness?
We can’t.
I don’t enjoy saying that – it gives me no pleasure to have to wonder whether the Army I served in both in active and reserve status for close to 28 years is broken. And it’s not just the Army. The Marines and the Special Ops community, well, they seem to be holding on to the standards the rest have forgotten, but the Navy and the Air Force – they’re broken too. Our military – in terms of strategy, equipment, and leadership, is in crisis. American troops will die if we don’t fix it.
Hell, they already have.
We have a Navy that can’t even sail its few remaining ships without running into giant cargo vessels. I come from a Navy family. You should call my dad, the retired lieutenant commander, and ask him what he thinks about the Navy’s current level of seamanship. It will not be a happy chat.
It is, in fact, a disgrace. Our sailors, the precious young men and women we commissioned officers are charged with leading and protecting, are dying because our officer corps tolerates incompetence. One collision is an accident. Two is a lifestyle.
And yeah, they’ve fired some admirals, and that’s a good start, but the problem is a cultural rot, not just one ‘ed-up command. The Navy focused on things besides its mission – “to maintain, train and equip combat-ready Naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas” – and in the last few months that misplaced focus has killed 17 sailors and taken two major vessels out of action in the Western Pacific at the very moment we are on the edge of war.
Did you know several senior Navy officers are being or have been charged for corruption? Corruption. Graft. Bribes. Hookers. Senior leaders, and they’re scumbugs – criminal scumbags. But hey, the Army has its problems too. General Petraeus…sheesh, what a punch in the gut it was to see him use the Army values as a latrine. Then there was the 82nd Airborne general court martialed for using his billet to build himself a sex harem. And how about the colonel who played games with contracts and ditched his wife to marry an Iraqi chick – the Army was so upset he got a reprimand and to keep his pension. No jail time. Let me say that again. No jail time. Yeah, that would totally have happened to a sergeant who did the same thing, according to several high-ranking unicorns in the Judge Advocate Office.
Want to know what generals and admirals don’t get in trouble for? Failing to win wars.
The military senior leadership has turned into a fraternity, where they cover up for each other and make sure everyone graduates with a gentleman’s “C”. And it’s not even a fun fraternity – the senior leadership is painfully politically correct, parroting all the right buzzwords and receive wisdom of our failed ruling caste. Many of these people are courageous on the battlefield – they’ll happily charge a Taliban warrior wielding an AK-47. But they quake in their boots back home in the face of an enemy they don’t understand and that can destroy their careers – the Social Justice Warrior. That’s why you don’t see them saying what every damn one of them knows is true – that women, despite their heart and commitment, are a net liability in ground combat units, that trans troops are an expensive distraction and damaging to morale, and that the insane focus on “diversity” programs sucks up priceless training time and fuels, rather than quells, discord in the ranks. But they don’t dare object. That’d be risky. And these are the senior leaders who we will allow to lead our sons and daughters in battle if Korea goes hot. How’s your confidence level?
And we have now reached the pinnacle of the military’s moral bankruptcy with the revelation that one Second Lieutenant Spenser Rapone is a communist. Not like a wannabe communist, not like a routine college-years liberal dummy, but a full-on, dictatorship-of-the-proletariat communist.
While at West Point.
Yeah, and the Academy knew. The chain of command knew what this guy was, because he told them Army alumni have done the job the MSM, which probably sympathizes with this idiot, has failed to do, digging up plenty about him and putting it out on social media. But the Academy let this creep slide through anyway. They let a guy who unequivocally stated his hatred for this country get a security clearance. Sound familiar? The Air Force’s Worst Airperson of the Century Reality Winner, anyone? Then they gave Rapone a commission as a United States Army officer. And they did it knowing who he was, because in the leftist-loving environment liar-nObama created, they were terrified to throw the bum out on his Marx. Hell, he felt comfortable enough to post this all on social media, and the Army chain of command didn’t act until we outside the military made a stink and it had to do something. You’ve seen the photo of this disgrace wearing a Che t-shirt under his uniform and showing it off. Question: Who took the photo? He was with other cadets so some other cadet saw it and did nothing – doesn’t West Point have an honor code, or is honor now a microaggression? Imagine how interested CNN and the Democrats would suddenly be if his undergarment icon was Hitler, or even Robert E. Lee, instead of the racist, gay-murdering dorm room darling of the campus commies.
“But, he has a right to express his…”
No, he doesn’t.
A United States officer cannot be a communist, or a Nazi, or a jihadist. These vile allegiances are incompatible with military service, and we are under no moral obligation to enter into a suicide pact by letting these vermin into our officer corps. Haven’t enough people died, like at Fort Hood, because the chain of command was too cowardly to risk getting called jihadiphobic to get rid of an insider threat?
Apparently not. Well, we’re not obligated to keep this America-hating cretin in either.
There’s an investigation going on to gather evidence to see if charges are warranted. If charges are filed, 2LT Rapone will get the due process rights punks like him would deny to others – including due process rights Democrats would deny college students accused of sex abuse.
Here’s what Colonel Schlichter would have done – actually, I would have dropped him into the bowl long before now and flushed, but let’s assume I got one of those 3 a.m. phone calls that begins “Sir, there’s been an incident…”
First, I’d call that little rat into my office, state that information has come to my attention that has caused me to lose confidence in his ability to lead, and temporarily relieve him of his post. I would assign him to a position that does not require him to supervise enlisted soldiers or interact with NCOs. After his social media posts attacking non-commissioned officers, the backbone of the Army, that would be me doing Millennial Neidermeyer a favor.
Suitable jobs for him as the investigation is underway would include “Deputy Officer-in-Charge, Volleyball Distribution” or “Assistant Combat Boot Warehouse Inventory Counting Operations Officer.”
Next, I would call my S-2 (intel) officer in and tell him to pull Rapone’s security clearance. From that moment on, the closest thing to classified material he’d get would be the brigade Christmas Secret Santa exchange I’d ensure he got assigned to the Command Sergeant Major because I’m kind of evil.
Oh, and I’d order this moron, in writing, not to use social media, and specifically, not to access, delete, change, close, alter, remove or in any way change any of his social media accounts. Sadly, it appears some of his accounts are now locked, indicating that the Army probably did not think to do this to preserve evidence. I hope they got CID to get a warrant and grab his electronics; I doubt they did that either.
If what appears true is true, Soon-To-Be Mr. Rapone needs to do time before he’s booted – you can’t have LTs posting obscenities about the SecDef and let that slide and still have a disciplined Army. But the real story isn’t this one loser. It’s not even the other losers who knew what he was and said and did nothing. It’s the chain of command.
We need to know exactly what the faculty and staff at West Point knew about Comrade Cadet Rapone’s treachery. If they did know – and I bet we will find out that he was counseled in writing about it – every officer from his first line supervisor to the USMA Superintendent must be relieved and reprimanded. West Point is supposed to be the heart of the Army, but we may find that, after the pernicious influence of liar-nObama and his ilk, it won’t even take its own side in a fight.
This is a symptom of a bigger disease. The Army, and the military in general, has lost its way. Fortunately, we have a president who actually loves America and a Secretary of Defense who is a warrior. They need to set the standard and make examples – you get more of what’s rewarded, less of what’s punished. Let’s reward leadership, not careerism. Let’s demand moral courage, and not tolerate careerist cowardice. The lives of our troops, and our country’s survival depends on it.

While some prominent conservative pundits and commentators would like to put the dire situation facing the Republican Party squarely at the feet of President Donald Trump or Washington, DC dysfunction, they would be better served by directing their ire at McConnell and Ryan. The senator from Kentucky and the congressman from Wisconsin have failed bitterly in their critical legislative roles and their inability to work together to pass even one piece of significant legislation over the last 256 days is political malpractice.
There is no doubt that McConnell and Ryan have tried to steer their respective delegations but it’s obvious to even the casual observer of American politics that they don’t have the prerequisite skill sets to lead the Republican phalanx going forward. Both have shown an inability to adapt and change to the new dynamics of legislating in the 21st century, primarily because they have served in Congress for so many years, (McConnell since 1985 and Ryan since 1999) and both are fully ensconced members of the GOP establishment.
McConnell’s and Ryan’s lackluster leadership styles have also exacerbated the tension that currently permeates the Republican Party.
Roy Moore’s triumph in Alabama’s Republican primary runoff last week and Trump’s win last November are two major examples of significant body blows to the Republican establishment, which the Senate majority leader and speaker of the House personify.
Moore’s surprising margin of victory was especially noteworthy since his campaign was able to overcome an opponent who received millions of dollars from a political action committee known for its strong relationship with McConnell.
It’s no secret that the GOP is performing well at the local and state levels but it is barely functioning on Capitol Hill and much of the blame needs to be directed at the current leadership.
McConnell and Ryan are the proverbial dogs who caught the car and didn’t know what to do when they caught it. Their vociferous opposition to liar-nObamaCare for the last seven years was a mantra for the Republican Party, yet neither could deliver the votes when put in a position to make something to happen. So, what will the repercussions be going forward?
It’s now only one year before the 2018 congressional elections and it’s a political fact of life that milestone legislation is not usually passed in the months prior to voters going to the ballot box. Which is why the last nine months have been so frustrating for so many Republicans.
Many feel betrayed and it has become clear that the current path being blazed by McConnell and Ryan is no longer tenable.
Yet McConnell and Ryan will remain in their posts for the foreseeable future and the Republican brand will continue to suffer in the process. Establishment candidates backed by the dysfunctional duo will face primary challengers and millions of dollars will be spent during these contests, which will resemble circular firing squads and enhance the Democrats’ chances of taking one, if not both, houses of Congress.
The Republican Party is on the precipice of suffering some serious long-term damage if it continues to follow its current path, and if something isn’t done soon to mitigate the circumstances, it could be a very rocky 2018 election season. ~The Patriot Post

Our Broken liar-nObama Military
Can’t Even Manage to Toss Out Traitors
{townhall.com} ~ After nearly a decade under President Faily McWorsethancarter, can our military win a fight with North Korea? Because if it is unable to perform the basic task of ensuring that the people commissioned to lead our troops in the defense of the United States are actually loyal to the United States, how the hell can we reasonably expect it to be able to conduct high-intensity combat operations against a Nork Army that prioritizes fighting over political correctness?
We can’t.
I don’t enjoy saying that – it gives me no pleasure to have to wonder whether the Army I served in both in active and reserve status for close to 28 years is broken. And it’s not just the Army. The Marines and the Special Ops community, well, they seem to be holding on to the standards the rest have forgotten, but the Navy and the Air Force – they’re broken too. Our military – in terms of strategy, equipment, and leadership, is in crisis. American troops will die if we don’t fix it.
Hell, they already have.
We have a Navy that can’t even sail its few remaining ships without running into giant cargo vessels. I come from a Navy family. You should call my dad, the retired lieutenant commander, and ask him what he thinks about the Navy’s current level of seamanship. It will not be a happy chat.
It is, in fact, a disgrace. Our sailors, the precious young men and women we commissioned officers are charged with leading and protecting, are dying because our officer corps tolerates incompetence. One collision is an accident. Two is a lifestyle.
Did you know several senior Navy officers are being or have been charged for corruption? Corruption. Graft. Bribes. Hookers. Senior leaders, and they’re scumbugs – criminal scumbags. But hey, the Army has its problems too. General Petraeus…sheesh, what a punch in the gut it was to see him use the Army values as a latrine. Then there was the 82nd Airborne general court martialed for using his billet to build himself a sex harem. And how about the colonel who played games with contracts and ditched his wife to marry an Iraqi chick – the Army was so upset he got a reprimand and to keep his pension. No jail time.
Want to know what generals and admirals don’t get in trouble for? Failing to win wars.
The military senior leadership has turned into a fraternity, where they cover up for each other and make sure everyone graduates with a gentleman’s “C”. And it’s not even a fun fraternity – the senior leadership is painfully politically correct, parroting all the right buzzwords and receive wisdom of our failed ruling caste. Many of these people are courageous on the battlefield – they’ll happily charge a Taliban warrior wielding an AK-47. But they quake in their boots back home in the face of an enemy they don’t understand and that can destroy their careers – the Social Justice Warrior. That’s why you don’t see them saying what every damn one of them knows is true – that women, despite their heart and commitment, are a net liability in ground combat units, that trans troops are an expensive distraction and damaging to morale, and that the insane focus on “diversity” programs sucks up priceless training time and fuels, rather than quells, discord in the ranks.
And we have now reached the pinnacle of the military’s moral bankruptcy with the revelation that one Second Lieutenant Spenser Rapone is a communist. Not like a wannabe communist, not like a routine college-years liberal dummy, but a full-on, dictatorship-of-the-proletariat communist.
While at West Point.
Yeah, and the Academy knew. The chain of command knew what this guy was, because he told them Army alumni have done the job the MSM, which probably sympathizes with this idiot, has failed to do, digging up plenty about him and putting it out on social media. But the Academy let this creep slide through anyway. They let a guy who unequivocally stated his hatred for this country get a security clearance. Sound familiar? The Air Force’s Worst Airperson of the Century Reality Winner, anyone? Then they gave Rapone a commission as a United States Army officer. And they did it knowing who he was, because in the leftist-loving environment liar-nObama created, they were terrified to throw the bum out on his Marx. Hell, he felt comfortable enough to post this all on social media, and the Army chain of command didn’t act until we outside the military made a stink and it had to do something.
“But, he has a right to express his…”
No, he doesn’t.
A United States officer cannot be a communist, or a Nazi, or a jihadist. These vile allegiances are incompatible with military service, and we are under no moral obligation to enter into a suicide pact by letting these vermin into our officer corps. Haven’t enough people died, like at Fort Hood, because the chain of command was too cowardly to risk getting called jihadiphobic to get rid of an insider threat?
Apparently not. Well, we’re not obligated to keep this America-hating cretin in either.
There’s an investigation going on to gather evidence to see if charges are warranted. If charges are filed, 2LT Rapone will get the due process rights punks like him would deny to others – including due process rights Democrats would deny college students accused of sex abuse.
Here’s what Colonel Schlichter would have done – actually, I would have dropped him into the bowl long before now and flushed, but let’s assume I got one of those 3 a.m. phone calls that begins “Sir, there’s been an incident…”
First, I’d call that little rat into my office, state that information has come to my attention that has caused me to lose confidence in his ability to lead, and temporarily relieve him of his post. I would assign him to a position that does not require him to supervise enlisted soldiers or interact with NCOs. After his social media posts attacking non-commissioned officers, the backbone of the Army, that would be me doing Millennial Neidermeyer a favor.
Suitable jobs for him as the investigation is underway would include “Deputy Officer-in-Charge, Volleyball Distribution” or “Assistant Combat Boot Warehouse Inventory Counting Operations Officer.”
Next, I would call my S-2 (intel) officer in and tell him to pull Rapone’s security clearance. From that moment on, the closest thing to classified material he’d get would be the brigade Christmas Secret Santa exchange I’d ensure he got assigned to the Command Sergeant Major because I’m kind of evil.
Oh, and I’d order this moron, in writing, not to use social media, and specifically, not to access, delete, change, close, alter, remove or in any way change any of his social media accounts. Sadly, it appears some of his accounts are now locked, indicating that the Army probably did not think to do this to preserve evidence. I hope they got CID to get a warrant and grab his electronics; I doubt they did that either.
If what appears true is true, Soon-To-Be Mr. Rapone needs to do time before he’s booted – you can’t have LTs posting obscenities about the SecDef and let that slide and still have a disciplined Army. But the real story isn’t this one loser. It’s not even the other losers who knew what he was and said and did nothing. It’s the chain of command.
We need to know exactly what the faculty and staff at West Point knew about Comrade Cadet Rapone’s treachery. If they did know – and I bet we will find out that he was counseled in writing about it – every officer from his first line supervisor to the USMA Superintendent must be relieved and reprimanded. West Point is supposed to be the heart of the Army, but we may find that, after the pernicious influence of liar-nObama and his ilk, it won’t even take its own side in a fight.
This is a symptom of a bigger disease. The Army, and the military in general, has lost its way. Fortunately, we have a president who actually loves America and a Secretary of Defense who is a warrior. They need to set the standard and make examples – you get more of what’s rewarded, less of what’s punished. Let’s reward leadership, not careerism. Let’s demand moral courage, and not tolerate careerist cowardice. The lives of our troops, and our country’s survival depends on it.

Republican donors seek out Steve Bannon
by David M. Drucker
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Steve Bannon has begun meeting with Republican donors at their request, as party financiers in the wake of the Alabama special election... attempt to learn what President Trump's former chief strategist has planned for 2018. Some GOP bundlers, in Washington this week for a Republican National Committee fundraiser, sought meetings with Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, to forge relationships and better understand his plans to target Republican incumbents in 2018 primaries. Roy Moore, Bannon's candidate in the Alabama GOP primary runoff, defeated appointed Sen. Luther Strange, who had the support of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. It was a major embarrassment for McConnell, and Bannon said he plans to replicate the effort in GOP primaries next year to weaken the majority leader and reshape the party in Trump's populist image... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/republican-donors-seek-out-steve-bannon/article/2636421?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert%20-%2010/03/17&utm_medium=email.
Stopping Iran Is up to Israel Now

{meforum.org} ~ Western hopes that Iran will moderate and "engage" with the international community following the faulty 2015 nuclear agreement (JCPOA) have been gradually replaced with apprehension... More voices in the international community are joining Israel in expressing growing concern about Iran's policies. While Iran seems to be abide by the JCPOA, it resists expanding the scope of inspections, continues its nuclear research and development for example upgrading centrifuges and continues to make progress on its long-range missile program. Recently it conducted a test of a missile designed to carry nuclear warheads. Moreover, Iran's involvement in the region attests to its hegemonic plans, defying the notion, propagated by its propagandists, that it is a status quo power acting defensively. Rather, Iran is following its Persian imperial instincts that are reinforced by Muslim jihadist impulses. It already controls four Arab capitals: Baghdad, Beirut, Damascus and Sanaa; its Shi'ite militias and proxies are fighting in Iraq, Syria and Yemen and engaging in ethnic cleansing; and it is on the verge of solidifying the Shi'ite corridor from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean... http://www.meforum.org/6948/reversing-iran-progress?utm_source=Middle+East+Forum&utm_campaign=eb90c64a14-inbar_efraim_2017_10_03&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_086cfd423c-eb90c64a14-33703665&goal=0_086cfd423c-eb90c64a14-33703665.

Faux Feminism
by Arnold Ahlert: In the last two weeks, a couple of prominent women inadvertently revealed the insufferably presumptive arrogance that forms the heart of progressive ideology.
by Arnold Ahlert: In the last two weeks, a couple of prominent women inadvertently revealed the insufferably presumptive arrogance that forms the heart of progressive ideology.
“Any woman who voted against liar-Hillary Clinton voted against their [sic] own voice,” declared former First Lady Michelle liar-nObama last Wednesday during a conversation with author Roxane Gay at the Inbound conference in Boston.
Mrs. liar-nObama kept digging, insisting the 41% of women who voted for Donald Trump weren’t aware enough to think for themselves. “It doesn’t say as much about liar-Hillary, and everybody’s trying to worry about what it means for liar-Hillary and no, no, no, what does this mean for us, as women?” she asked. “That we look at those two candidates, as women, and many of us said, ‘He’s better for me. His voice is more true to me.’ To me that just says, you don’t like your voice. You like the thing you’re told to like.”
Got that? If you’re a woman who didn’t vote for liar-Hillary it wasn’t about the possibility that she’s eminently unlikeable, is a congenital liar, possesses a gargantuan sense of self-entitlement, or is an un-convicted felon who likely compromised national security. It’s all about the inability to like oneself enough — or be smart enough — to transcend such “petty” concerns.
Perhaps Michelle was inspired by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who weighed in with an equally “astute” analysis of the 2016 election. On Tuesday, in an interview with Charlie Rose on CBS News, Ginsburg stated that she had “no doubt” sexism played a role in the 2016 election. “There’s so many things that might have been decisive but that was a major, major factor,” she insisted.
Again, some of those other things that “might have been decisive” could include liar-Hillary’s consistent incompetence as secretary of state, her penchant for running the liar-Clinton Foundation as a de facto pay-to-play enterprise, calling half the nation “deplorables,” or even the idea that she abided the Democratic National Committee’s effort, led by Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to rig the primaries against Bernie Sanders.
Or maybe a lot of “sexists” decided that eight years of sub-par economic growth, worsening race relations, innumerable foreign policy debacles, unfettered illegal immigration, or the ongoing effort to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” into a nation of tribalist sub-groups competing for most-aggrieved status didn’t merit the “third liar-nObama term” for which the Leftmedia shamelessly shilled during the 2016 election campaign.
One might think Ginsburg would know better than to insert herself into partisan politics — again. During the 2016 campaign, she abandoned any pretense of the impartiality that ostensibly attends her position on the Court. “I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president,” she opined to The New York Times last July. “For the country, it could be four years. For the Court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.” We wonder what Justice Neil Gorsuch thinks about her comment.
Four days later, Ginsburg dug herself a deeper hole in a CNN interview, calling Trump a “faker.” “He has no consistency about him,” she said. “He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. … How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that.”
After she was hammered, not just by Trump, but by the far-left New York Times and Washington Post newspapers, Ginsburg apologized. “On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them,” Ginsburg said in a statement. “Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect.”
Apparently circumspection isn’t Ginsburg’s strong suit. Like the former president’s wife, she demonstrates a similar level of prejudice, hypocrisy and political tone-deafness that sweeping generalizations inevitably engender. Moreover, her “apology” rings exceedingly hollow.
Townhall’s Katie Pavlich takes Mrs. liar-nObama to task. “Did women who voted for Barack liar-nObama over liar-Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democrat primary ‘vote against their voice’ because they voted against the female candidate?” she asks. “Did Michelle liar-nObama vote against her voice for voting for a man, her husband, instead of liar-Hillary?” Pavlich reminds us that would be the same Michelle liar-nObama who “argued liar-Clinton was unqualified to sit in the Oval Office” during the 2008 campaign.
Ginsburg was equally hypocritical, never mentioning “sexism” when Barack liar-nObama denied liar-Clinton her chance to become the first female president. Nor did she wear a collar she is known to put on her robe indicating her intention to dissent against certain Supreme Court rulings — the same collar she wore the day after Trump’s election, even though no opinions were scheduled to be given.
Yet perhaps sexism and mindlessness were factors in the 2016 election. “Me, I intend to vote with my vagina,” declared Dame magazine columnist Kate Harding in April 2015. “Unapologetically. Enthusiastically.”
Part of Harding’s “rationale”? “There has never been a president who knows what it’s like to menstruate, be pregnant, or give birth,” she writes. “There has never been a president who knows what it’s like to be the target of subtle and categorically unsubtle sexism.”
Harding milked her blood images. “American women have been bleeding for over 200 years while men tell us it’s no big deal, and a lot of us have arrived at the point where we just want someone with a visceral, not abstract, concept of what that means.”
What about liar-Hillary herself? “Ms. liar-Clinton played down the role of gender the first time she ran for the top job, but this time it’s expected to be a core plank of her campaign,” reported NewsHub in 2015.
Fast forward to earlier this month, when liar-Clinton joined liar-nObama and Ginsburg in their effort to denigrate non-progressive women. In an interview with Vox’s Ezra Klein, liar-Clinton tied former FBI Director James Comey’s announcement that he was re-opening the (non)investigation into her emails to the idea that men could turn to their wives or girlfriends and say, “I told you, she’s going to be in jail,” liar-Clinton asserted. “You don’t wanna waste your vote.” liar-Clinton further asserted that women voters who might have been on the fence ultimately decided not to vote for her. “Instead of saying, ‘I’m taking a chance, I’m going to vote,’ it didn’t work,” liar-Clinton added.
In an interview with NPR she singled out white women she believed were “under tremendous pressure from fathers and husbands and boyfriends and male employers not to vote for ‘the girl.’”
For decades, progressives have asserted feminism is all about empowering strong, independent women who are unafraid to think for themselves. Yet as liar-nObama and liar-Clinton make abundantly clear, if a woman’s independent thinking doesn’t align itself with progressive ideology, she is nothing more than a self-hating, go-along-to-get-along lackey subservient to a man. Ginsburg is equally obtuse, but if one assumes her assertion applies to both sexes, then women are lackeys and men are misogynists, much like anyone who failed to vote for Barack liar-nObama — or merely disagreed with him in many cases — was “racist.” It doesn’t get more arrogant or presumptive than that. ~The Patriot Post

Four days later, Ginsburg dug herself a deeper hole in a CNN interview, calling Trump a “faker.” “He has no consistency about him,” she said. “He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. … How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that.”
After she was hammered, not just by Trump, but by the far-left New York Times and Washington Post newspapers, Ginsburg apologized. “On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them,” Ginsburg said in a statement. “Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect.”
Apparently circumspection isn’t Ginsburg’s strong suit. Like the former president’s wife, she demonstrates a similar level of prejudice, hypocrisy and political tone-deafness that sweeping generalizations inevitably engender. Moreover, her “apology” rings exceedingly hollow.
Townhall’s Katie Pavlich takes Mrs. liar-nObama to task. “Did women who voted for Barack liar-nObama over liar-Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democrat primary ‘vote against their voice’ because they voted against the female candidate?” she asks. “Did Michelle liar-nObama vote against her voice for voting for a man, her husband, instead of liar-Hillary?” Pavlich reminds us that would be the same Michelle liar-nObama who “argued liar-Clinton was unqualified to sit in the Oval Office” during the 2008 campaign.
Ginsburg was equally hypocritical, never mentioning “sexism” when Barack liar-nObama denied liar-Clinton her chance to become the first female president. Nor did she wear a collar she is known to put on her robe indicating her intention to dissent against certain Supreme Court rulings — the same collar she wore the day after Trump’s election, even though no opinions were scheduled to be given.
Yet perhaps sexism and mindlessness were factors in the 2016 election. “Me, I intend to vote with my vagina,” declared Dame magazine columnist Kate Harding in April 2015. “Unapologetically. Enthusiastically.”
Part of Harding’s “rationale”? “There has never been a president who knows what it’s like to menstruate, be pregnant, or give birth,” she writes. “There has never been a president who knows what it’s like to be the target of subtle and categorically unsubtle sexism.”
Harding milked her blood images. “American women have been bleeding for over 200 years while men tell us it’s no big deal, and a lot of us have arrived at the point where we just want someone with a visceral, not abstract, concept of what that means.”
What about liar-Hillary herself? “Ms. liar-Clinton played down the role of gender the first time she ran for the top job, but this time it’s expected to be a core plank of her campaign,” reported NewsHub in 2015.
Fast forward to earlier this month, when liar-Clinton joined liar-nObama and Ginsburg in their effort to denigrate non-progressive women. In an interview with Vox’s Ezra Klein, liar-Clinton tied former FBI Director James Comey’s announcement that he was re-opening the (non)investigation into her emails to the idea that men could turn to their wives or girlfriends and say, “I told you, she’s going to be in jail,” liar-Clinton asserted. “You don’t wanna waste your vote.” liar-Clinton further asserted that women voters who might have been on the fence ultimately decided not to vote for her. “Instead of saying, ‘I’m taking a chance, I’m going to vote,’ it didn’t work,” liar-Clinton added.
In an interview with NPR she singled out white women she believed were “under tremendous pressure from fathers and husbands and boyfriends and male employers not to vote for ‘the girl.’”
For decades, progressives have asserted feminism is all about empowering strong, independent women who are unafraid to think for themselves. Yet as liar-nObama and liar-Clinton make abundantly clear, if a woman’s independent thinking doesn’t align itself with progressive ideology, she is nothing more than a self-hating, go-along-to-get-along lackey subservient to a man. Ginsburg is equally obtuse, but if one assumes her assertion applies to both sexes, then women are lackeys and men are misogynists, much like anyone who failed to vote for Barack liar-nObama — or merely disagreed with him in many cases — was “racist.” It doesn’t get more arrogant or presumptive than that. ~The Patriot Post

The investigation of the shooting in Las Vegas continues. A crime scene so massive and with so many different scenarios will be completely covered and no question will go unanswered. Sheriff Joseph Lombardo is doing a masterful job and both he and other investigators have worked countless hours attempting to find out the what and why of what happened.
As always, we will not get all the answers that the American people are seeking. In the aftermath of the worst mass shooting in American history it is imperatives that the answers are clear, concise and honest. I am convinced that at the end of all the investigations, and the media has moved on to the next major story, there will still be questions about why this happened and how did it happen.
Questions remain, some may be just conspiracy and some may be factual. In either case, they are questions that need to be answered. One question is that the authorities are stating that Paddock did not check in until September 28th. A question arises when individuals who work at the Mandalay Bay assert that Paddock ordered room service on the 27th for two people. Who was that other person and why are authorities stating that Paddock did not check in until the 28th? Sources at the Mandalay Bay are claiming that Paddock actually checked in on the 25th.
Paddock, an out of shape former accountant with no military training is not capable of pulling this off by himself. With no experience in guns, ho could he have fired as rapidly and accurately as he did. As a military veteran and have experience with fully automatic weapons, they can be hard to control, jam easily and tend to overheat. Using an automatic weapon effectively takes extensive training and experience in the use of such weapons. Being a retired accountant senior citizen, I do not understand how Paddock had the skill or the stamina to fire for so long.The overheating is also a reason why suppressors (silences in Hillarys vernacular) are never used on such weapons. They have a tendency to melt and more quickly jam the gun.
How is law enforcement convinced that there was only one shooter? There are pictures that clearly show rifle fire from a lower window. And why are there recordings of law enforcement talking of another possible suspect on the fourth floor?
At the scene of the crime, why were all the exits blocked. Those 22,000 happy concert goers found themselves trapped, with ability to get out or to seek cover. The ten foot walls kept the multitude of people in the fire zone with no way out.
I have been to Las Vegas many times, living in Southern California and I can not understand how anyone, much less Paddock can carry so many weapons and ammunition into a room without being seen.
Even Trey Gowdy, the no nonsense Representative from South Carolina is skeptical. In Rep. Gowdy’s words, he is skeptical that the amount of premeditation and can not believe that a single person could have done this without assistance.
Further questions include: why so many rifles and weapons if there was only one shooter. Were the rifles that were there for another shooter? Were they all Paddock’s weapons and was he funded by others to have that so many weapons?
Paddock was found dead in his room by a self inflicted gunshot wound. Law enforcement states that he shot himself when they blew the door open to his room. Is there a ballistic report on the bullet that killed him that will close out that part of the investigation?
The broken windows on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay are the supposed site where the firing of the bullets that killed 58 people took place. Automatic weapons have a very pronounced flash, why were there no flashes from the 32nd floor? I have not heard whether flash suppressors were used, but even then there would be some flash. There are purported to be flashes from the 4th floor, but that has not been confirmed. The audio of the online videos and other videos it clearly be heard overlapping gunfire from two different weapons. Barring any further explanation, how can Paddock be responsible for all the carnage.
Paddock has no criminal history in either federal, state or local law enforcement. He had no affiliation with any activist group that is known of, although there are reports that Antifa literature may have been found in his room. Paddock was not politically active, or even religiously affiliated. Paddock did not have the ability of the meticulously planning, coordination or funding an attack such as this.
The final question I have is – has the Australian man, Brian Hodge, who was in the room next to Paddock been interviews and will that investigation be made public? He as stated “There were multiple shooters, and this same gentleman also provided information about the shooting that took the life of a security guard, supposedly shot by law enforcement.
Or another witness also from Australia, Wendy Miller who was staying next to the Mandalay Bay at the Luxor, where she described the security police chasing a Security Guard, or someone dressed as one, down the escalator that comes from the Mandalay Bay to the Luxor. Is there any information about this being given to the public about this.
These are questions that may be factual and need to be cleared by the end of the investigation. There are those that are already declaring this a “false flag” operation that is meant to lead to further gun control and eventually to a civil war. Hopefully Law Enforcement, both local and federal are aware of all these anomalies to the description they want the public to believe. Attention must be paid to those who are doing the investigation.
