Chicago Environmental Group Shows Politics Trumps Environment By Approving Obama Library Plan to Bulldoze Park

Yet the same group fought and won against plan for museum in an empty parking lot!

If George Lucas had been a heavy weight Democrat instead of one of the world's greatest filmmakers he might have gotten permission to build his Museum of Narrative Art on what is currently a large empty parking lot only used during football season.

But in that case a small, vocal group of environmentalists called Friends of the Parks took the issue to court and eventually forced Lucas to withdraw. Imagine that. An environmental group actually prefers a black asphalt parking lot to landscaped gardens and a museum.

Their tactics are the same modus operandi that environmental groups use nationwide. Tie the potential project, no matter what it is, up in so many legal hurdles it becomes a nightmare.

Except of course when President Obama wants to bulldoze trees and grass in an actual park, not a parking lot and build his presidential library. Friends of the Parks is reported to be "thrilled" that Obama will build his library in what was Jackson Park on Chicago's South Side.

More proof, not that any were needed, that today's environmental movement is more about politics than about saving the planet, or the parks!

What Bill Clinton Left Out of His Speech for Hillary on Tuesday

Monica's blue dress with "stain."
His memory must be getting a big hazy!

If you heard Bill Clinton's speech at the Dems convention in Philly last night you might think he married Mother Teresa. And what immediately springs to mind is why would Bill cheat on a woman who he describes as a near saint?

However you want to look at it Bill's speech was yet another effort to introduce Hillary to the American people. This must be the 4th or 5th time her campaign has sought to do this. Surely by now anyone who has been paying attention knows exactly who and what Hillary Clinton is.

I even had my own personal moment with Bill and Hill showed me exactly who she was.

But there was Bill trying one more time to make us all forget the past. It didn't work.

Bill left quite a bit out of his speech. No mention of the criminal investigation about her email or the cascade of one lie after another she told about that scandal. No mention either of the other scandals where Hillary used similar techniques of denial and deflection to shield her from accountability.

But in what is likely to be one of the last mainstream media efforts to vet Hillary, the Washington Post published a look back at the famous Whitewater scandal.

Hillary told one lie after another and got away with it all.
As in the email controversy of today, Clinton’s honesty was a central question facing investigators in 1998 as they weighed whether what they saw as shifting stories from Clinton amounted to an attempt to cover up misconduct. Like the events of today, Clinton was interviewed for hours by authorities.
...
[A prosecutor remarked:]“This case was, for me, decided on factors external to guilt or innocence,” he said. “I think this case would have had a great chance of a sustained conviction if presented to 12 random people, about someone other than Mrs. Clinton. But that’s an impossible hypothetical.”
Memo from the Special Prosecutor's office investigating Hillary Clinton's role in Whitewater.

Yes Hillary, we KNOW who you are and your desperate attempt to alter history won't help with those who are paying attention!

Politically Motivated Prosecution of Baltimore Cops Comes Up Empty as 3 Aquitted and Remaining Charges Against 3 Others Dropped

Prosecutor who sought to appease the mob should be disbarred!

So the sad story of the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore comes to a close. After bombing out 3-0 in trials against the first three of six Baltimore police officers the prosecutor has dropped charges against the remaining three.

It's a prosecution that was a political witch hunt from the get go fueled by a prosecutor who was more interested in politics than justice or law. There is a move that she should be disbarred.

Not that the lack of any substantive evidence to link police to Freddie Gray's death will stop the race hustlers who profit on such unfortunate circumstances. There's too much money and power at stake for that to happen.

Meanwhile, the funeral of Montrell Jackson was held recently in Baton Rouge. The officer, who is black, was gunned down by an assassin fueled by the lies of Black Lives Matter. Apparently Jackson's life didn't matter.

Montrell Jackson killed by shooter fueled by Black Lives Matter hate.

Jackson left a message before he was killed. Too bad Black Lives Matter didn't read it:

Priest Beheaded in French Church by ISIS Attackers

Meanwhile, Obama continues to insist that the world is safer under his leadership!

Father Jacques Hamel, 84,  murdered at the altar by ISIS terrorists in France.
Father Hamel was forced to his knees before being beheaded. A nun was also critically injured.

No More Memorials!

Just as has happened following other recent attacks the usual public reaction is to light candles and lay flowers. ENOUGH! ISIS doesn't care about your memorials or your hashtags. What's needed is ACTION. Obviously the threat is growing. How many more times will we witness such scenes before leaders unite to do what is necessary to stop it?

P.S. Muslim Gang Threatens Pool Goers in Germany. Rape of 79 Year Old Woman

A gang of six refugees entered a public nudist pool in Germany and threatened to kill everyone. Welcome to shariah hell!

Democrat Meltdown as Convention in Philly Begins

I don't know when I have enjoyed a Dem convention more!

VIDEO: Recently resigned scandal plagued Chairman of the DNC, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz, addresses the Florida delegation on Monday. Delegates attending are from HER STATE. She was booed off the stage for her role in rigging the process for Hillary. . It was UGLY!

VIDEO: Bernie Sanders addresses his followers at a rally. When he said "we have got to defeat Donald Trump" he got polite applause. When he followed that by saying "we have got to elect Hillary Clinton" a growing roar of "boo" and "no" grew in volume and continued. After which Bernie implored "brothers and sisters this is the real world." That may be the FIRST TIME some of these fragile Berniebots have realized life on campus is different from life on earth!

Later, Bernie supporters were heard in the background of an MSNBC interview chanting "LOCK HER UP,"  in reference to Hillary's criminal history. Will the Hillary aligned media that found that phrase so offensive at the GOP convention now criticize Bernie supporters? Don't hold your breath!

The Wikileaks email dump which showed how the Democrat National Committee (DNC) was in the tank for Hillary from the get go also has a clear trail of collusion between the DNC and major media. If you think Republicans get the same level of cooperation with media, think again.

Dems in full meltdown. Priceless!

Democrats "Build Walls, Not Bridges" to Protect Philadelphia Convention Site

But they don't want the American people to have the same protection they do!

You know how they attack Trump for his vow to build a wall on the border? They sure don't have a problem using walls and fences to protect themselves.

They're calling it the "Bernie Barrier." Keep those crazy commies OUT,
unless they are major donors to Hillary's campaign!
More examples from the Democrat convention site here.

It's just like gun control. They want to make it harder for Americans to get guns to protect themselves, meanwhile they are surrounded by an army of gun wielding federal agents protecting them!

Oh, and  they keep telling us it's racist to ask people to show ID to vote but how many pieces of identification do you have to show to get into their convention?

Democrats prove once again that the rules they dictate for the rest of us do not apply to them!

Jihadi Refugee in Germany Wounds 12 in Bomb Attack. Fourth Attack Involving Immigrants in As Many Days

UPDATE: Priest in France butchered in church by having his throat cut. Details still coming in. Check here for updates. How long will some like Obama continue to pretend we are safe?


Q. What fool would EVER want to risk bringing these refugees to the U.S.?

A. Obama and Hillary!

The situation is out of control in Germany with attacks nearly every day. The latest, a jihadi Syrian refugee bomber at a music festival. Earlier, a pregnant woman hacked to death by a Syrian weilding a machete, the McDonald's mall shooter and the axe murderer on the train. They may not all be jihadi attacks but the killers are ALL immigrants, refugees and MUSLIM!

Obama has "spiked" the number of Syrian refugees earlier this summer. Now, Hillary Clinton wants to blow the lid off and let in tens of thousands more.

WHY?

France is a war zone. Germany is enduring almost daily attacks. Sweden is the rape capital of the West and it's all because of a mass influx of refugees. Why would any sane person want to risk that in the U.S.?

Hillary Gives Sanders' Supporters a Slap in the Face with VP Pick Tim Kaine

She no longer needs the left to get the nomination and leaves them out COLD!

The Tubby and Chubby Ticket! Overeaters 2016!
So, Hillary Clinton picks the "safe" choice for her running mate by selecting Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia. He's the ultimate Democrat establishment insider having been the Chairman of the Democratic National Commitee as well as Governor of Virginia. Like Hillary, he's a big friend of Wall Street. There's very little progressive about Tim Kaine. But then, Hillary may feel she no longer needs those people.

Naturally, the left, including Sanders supporters are upset. But then, they are always upset about something. One Bernyite complained “An establishment Wall Street Democrat like Tim Kaine … will do nothing but confirm to progressives she's learned nothing from this primary.” Another said what Kaine's selection means to Berniebots:
"[Sanders' supporters]will understand what it means when their efforts to challenge oligarchy have been met by Clinton's selection of a loyal servant of oligarchy. If Clinton has reached out to Bernie supporters, it appears that she has done so to stick triangulating thumbs in their eyes."
But what are they going to do? Vote for Trump? Not likely. Expect about as many of those crossover votes to stay at home as the few #neverTrump Republicans.

Bernie supporters got an extra kick in the head with the leak of emails showing how hard the DNC worked behind the scenes to benefit Hillary at the expense of Bernie. Jeff Weaver, former campaign manager for Sanders, is demanding someone be held "accountable" for the content of the emails. Sorry Jeff. It's a little late to start talking about Hillary's email problem and accountability? HA!

Grownups among readers here always knew Sanders was a sacrificial lamb. He had no chance against Hillary. As Donald Trump would tell you, the system is rigged. Sanders supporters are feeling a different kind of BURN tonight. Don't say we didn't warn you!

UPDATE: DNC Chair removed as chair of convention.  Debbie Wasserman Shultz, who appears better suited to be a presenter on the Home Shopping Network, has been removed by the DNC as chair of the Philadelphia convention after emails revealed the role DNC staff played in undermining Sanders. It's a highly unusual move the day before the Dem convention begins. But will Sanders' supporters be placated? At the least Shultz should be fired as head of the DNC.

Meanwhile, new evidence comes forward to show how the DNC sought to manipulate anti-Trump protests. No shock there. Astroturf is the Dem's middle name.

And the irony of Dems who only care about emails attacking Sanders but didn't care about emails which revealed some of the nation's top secrets is not lost!

Considering Cruz Convention Controversy. Don't Forget Kasich and Bush!

He should have put aside personal grievance for larger public good. That's what a leader does!

Please scroll down to comment on Trump convention speech or click here. But I can't let the convention coverage go without commenting on Ted Cruz.

I endorsed Ted Cruz in the crucial South Carolina primary. I voted for Ted Cruz. Readers may recall I was not a supporter in the primaries of Donald Trump. However, I am disappointed that Ted Cruz choose to speak to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland and endorse Donald Trump.

About the closest Cruz came to an endorsement is when he said "I want to congratulate Donald Trump on winning the nomination last night. And, like each of you, I want to see the principles of our party prevail in November." [Transcript of Cruz speech here.] But that statement and what followed was so lukewarm that many delegates on the convention floor sought to boo him off the stage.

Meeting the next day with the Texas delegation Cruz was grilled by Trump supporters demanding to know why he failed to honor his pledge to back the eventual GOP nominee. He cited Trump insults to his wife and father as reasons why he failed to praise Trump.

Some are pointing to Ronald Reagan's speech at the 1976 GOP convention [text video]. This came after a bitter primary fight between Reagan and President Ford. Reagan was gracious and thankful. Cruz could have learned from that.

As it is, Cruz put his own personal feelings ahead of party unity. Perhaps it would have been better if he had not spoken at all like Jeb Bush or John Kasich (how odd is it that the Governor of Ohio didn't welcome delegates to his state?). Cruz may be banking on a Trump defeat which positions him for consideration in a 2020 nominating contest. But if he comes down to South Carolina, I and others will remind him he took the pledge to support the GOP nominee but in the end put himself first!

TRUMP: "I am Your Voice"; Speaking for Millions of Americans Formerly Shut Out of Political Process

Best GOP convention in years!




Transcript of Trump's speech here.

Excerpts:
TRUMP: “I’m with you. I will fight for you. And I will win for you.”

"The problems we face now – poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad – will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them. A change in leadership is required to change these outcomes."

"Big business, elite media and major donors are lining up behind the campaign of my opponent because they know she will keep our rigged system in place. They are throwing money at her because they have total control over everything she does. She is their puppet, and they pull the strings.
That is why Hillary Clinton’s message is that things will never change. My message is that things have to change – and they have to change right now. Every day I wake up determined to deliver for the people I have met all across this nation that have been neglected, ignored, and abandoned.

I have visited the laid-off factory workers, and the communities crushed by our horrible and unfair trade deals. These are the forgotten men and women of our country. People who work hard but no longer have a voice.

I AM YOUR VOICE."

"I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves."

"The irresponsible rhetoric of our President, who has used the pulpit of the presidency to divide us by race and color, has made America a more dangerous environment for everyone.

This Administration has failed America’s inner cities. It’s failed them on education. It’s failed them on jobs. It’s failed them on crime. It’s failed them at every level.

When I am President, I will work to ensure that all of our kids are treated equally, and protected equally.

Every action I take, I will ask myself: does this make life better for young Americans in Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Ferguson who have as much of a right to live out their dreams as any other child America?"

"Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African-American and Latino workers. We are going to have an immigration system that works, but one that works for the American people.

On Monday, we heard from three parents whose children were killed by illegal immigrants Mary Ann Mendoza, Sabine Durden, and Jamiel Shaw. They are just three brave representatives of many thousands. Of all my travels in this country, nothing has affected me more deeply than the time I have spent with the mothers and fathers who have lost their children to violence spilling across our border.
These families have no special interests to represent them. There are no demonstrators to protest on their behalf. My opponent will never meet with them, or share in their pain. Instead, my opponent wants Sanctuary Cities. But where was sanctuary for Kate Steinle? Where was Sanctuary for the children of Mary Ann, Sabine and Jamiel? Where was sanctuary for all the other Americans who have been so brutally murdered, and who have suffered so horribly?

These wounded American families have been alone. But they are alone no longer. Tonight, this candidate and this whole nation stand in their corner to support them, to send them our love, and to pledge in their honor that we will save countless more families from suffering the same awful fate."

"my sole and exclusive mission is to go to work for our country – to go to work for all of you. It’s time to deliver a victory for the American people. But to do that, we must break free from the petty politics of the past.

America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.
Remember: all of the people telling you that you can’t have the country you want, are the same people telling you that I wouldn’t be standing here tonight. No longer can we rely on those elites in media, and politics, who will say anything to keep a rigged system in place.

Instead, we must choose to Believe In America. History is watching us now.
It’s waiting to see if we will rise to the occasion, and if we will show the whole world that America is still free and independent and strong.

My opponent asks her supporters to recite a three-word loyalty pledge. It reads: “I’m With Her”. I choose to recite a different pledge. My pledge reads: “I’M WITH YOU – THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.” I am your voice."

Video: Democrats Failure in Inner City is Big Reason for Racial Unrest

Race issue is a convenient way to keep black voters from focusing on why they have been left even further behind (1,2,3) during the Obama years!



"Remove the jobs, break the schools, pull back the police, let the streets flood with drugs, let violent gangs [run amuk], don't prosecute gun crimes." What did you think was going to happen?

Guns Not the Factor in Newest Recent Attacks by Muslim Immigrants/Refugees in Europe

Knives, Axes, bombs, trucks.... The common factor is ISLAM!

Two new stories:

A seventeen year old Afghan refugee in Germany shouts "Allahu Akbar" as he hacks passengers on a train in Germany with an axe. The scene was described as a "slaugherhouse."

"Slaughterhouse" on German train as refugee goes jihad!
A Moroccan Muslim goes jihad at a resort in France stabbing a mother and her three daughters because he didn't like the immodesty of their summer attire.

Let's not forget that formerly peaceful Sweden has become the rape capital of the Western world after an influx of Muslim refugees.

Add this to a growing list. The truck attack in France. Bombings at airports in Brussels and Turkey. The factor that unites them all is that those who commit these atrocities are ALL MUSLIM!

Obama continues to avoid the link to Islam in recent attacks where guns were used. No doubt he will ignore attacks like this too! Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton defends huge increases in the number of Muslim refugees to be allowed into the U.S.

The jihad cancer continues to spread and all Doctor Obama prescribes is gun control!

#BlackLivesTerrorists Kill 3 More Cops in Baton Rouge as Death Toll Mounts in Obama's War on Cops

Obama refuses to call Black Lies Matter a terrorist organization!


What do you bet she voted for Obama?
Let's go back to Wednesday, July 13 at the White House. Obama held a meeting with police, BlackLiesMatter and other community rabble rousers. You can read his remarks here. One paragraph after another on what the cops have to do to win the public's trust. NOT ONE WORD condemning anti-cop violence. But more statements like this:
OBAMA: [T]he roots of the problems we saw this week date back not just decades, date back centuries. There are cultural issues, and there are issues of race in this country, and poverty, and a whole range of problems
Also present at this event was DeRay McKesson, full time paid protester from Ferguson Missiouri and Baltimore. He is a graduate of the George Soros school of racial agitation. McKesson was arrested in Baton Rouge a week before the latest cop killing.

Seeing or reading Obama's statement you can understand why so many BlackLiesMatter followers believe the cops are racist and they feel empowered to take the law into their own hands.

Hence, another mass killing of cops this time in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

In his reaction to the latest killings, Obama made the statement that he should have made all along: "I condemn, in the strongest sense of the word, the attack on law enforcement in Baton Rouge...there is no justification for violence against law enforcement. None. "

Unfortunately, Obama's statement, weighed as it is against the mountain of words he has used to criticize police ever since he took office is too little too late. The cat is out of the bag and the blood is on his hands for allowing this virus of hate to take hold.

And now the activists so long supported by Obama are threatening even greater violence if Trump is elected. Shaun King, one of the founders of BlackLiesMatter threatens a Turkey style coup if Trump is elected.

Obama has unleashed the ugly and deadly forces of racial violence. How many more will die before we get a President who can restore order to this country?

P.S. Obama has refused petition to label BlackLiesMatter a terrorist organization. Apparently his pen and his phone don't work when it comes to telling the truth about racial terrorists!

UPDATE: Obama blaming cops AGAIN on Sunday! Says they need to admit THEY are the problem! Feeding the righteousness of the next cop killer!

Heather MacDonald has been researching Obama's war on cops for years. Her latest column is worth reading in it's entirety. Here's an excerpt:
That frenzy further amplified the dangerously false narrative that racist police officers are the greatest threat facing young black men today.

President Barack Obama bears direct responsibility for the lethal spread of that narrative. In a speech from Poland just hours before five officers were assassinated in Dallas on July 7, Obama misled the nation about policing and race, charging officers nationwide with preying on blacks because of the color of their skin. Obama rolled out a litany of junk statistics to prove that the criminal justice system is racist. Blacks were arrested at twice the rate of whites, he complained, and get sentences almost 10 percent longer than whites for the same crime. Missing from Obama’s address was any mention of the massive racial differences in criminal offending and criminal records that fully account for arrest rates and sentence lengths. (Blacks, for example, commit homicide at eight times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined, and at about 11 to 12 times the rate of whites alone.) Instead, Obama chalked up the disparities to “biases, some conscious and unconscious that have to be rooted out . . . across our criminal justice system.”

It is possible that the Dallas killers and the Baton Rouge killers had not heard Obama’s most recent speeches on criminal-justice racism, or even the many that preceded them. But even if the cop murderers had not encountered Obama’s exact words, the influence of his rhetoric on the hatred in the streets is absolute. Obama’s imprimatur on the Black Lives Matter demagoguery gives it enormous additional thrust and legitimacy, echoing throughout public discourse into the most isolated corners of the inner city.

The media bear equal responsibility for the ongoing carnage. The press immediately slotted the shootings of Sterling and Castile into the racist-cop paradigm, though the facts about what the officers saw and whether the victims were in fact reaching for their guns were unknown. The New York Times went into cop-calumny overdrive, with an editorial entitled “When Will the Killing Stop?” and a series of back-to-back op-eds decrying the brutal oppression of blacks in America. One of those op-eds, by an assistant professor at Purdue University, bemoaned that blacks were up against a world “where too many people have their fingers on the triggers of guns aimed directly at black people.” The professor was presumably not referring to the thugs who shot a three-year-old boy in Chicago on Father’s Day this year, leaving him paralyzed for life, or who shot a five-year-old girl, a seven-year-old boy, and an 11-year-old boy in Chicago on the Fourth of July. She was probably also not referring to Le’Vonte King Jason, a two-year-old boy killed on July 8 in Minneapolis, a few miles away and two days after Philando Castile was shot by police during a traffic stop. Jason was in a car driven by his father that was peppered with bullets in a drive-by shooting; the gunfire hit his 15-month-old sister as well. Except for a local columnist, the press ignored Jason’s funeral, in contrast to the media scrum that inundated Castile’s funeral on the same day.
...
The country has been pretending that the main source of racism today comes from whites. Anyone who has spent time in the inner city and even more middle-class black precincts—such as college campuses—knows differently.

It may be too late to stop this fire from spreading. But Obama has one more chance to try to put it out. He failed that opportunity in his remarks hours after the Baton Rouge carnage, delivering instead an anodyne call to heal “our divisions” and discard “inflammatory rhetoric thrown around to advance an agenda.” Implication: Blame for “inflammatory rhetoric” is equally shared by those who attack cops and those who defend them. Sorry, Mr. President, those who tell the truth about crime and policing are not part of the problem and they bear no responsibility for the massacre of cops. The killing of cops is furthered exclusively by those peddling a false narrative that cops harbor lethal bias toward blacks. Obama should call for the Black Lives Matter movement to fold its tent—and he himself should start telling the truth about inner-city crime.

UPDATE: We've heard from Obama and his racist friends, now a REAL American:

Sheriff David Clarke: Here’s a sobering thought for Americans to contemplate as we now deal with the aftermath of the horrific murders of law enforcement officers in the name of Black Lives Matter in Dallas, Texas: this was mission accomplished for Black Lives Matter, not an aberration.

The violence and hate-filled messages pouring out of Black Lives Matter seek exactly this kind of bloody resolution, or revolution, though they cannot admit it in polite society. Even as celebrities clamor over themselves to demonstrate their fealty to the hate group, they align themselves with one of the most destructive groups to the well-being and justice for black Americans that exist today.

We are as afraid to point out the obvious, that the sniper attack by Micah Johnson in Dallas, who according to Dallas Police Chief David Brown was “upset about Black Lives Matter,” is just as tied to this domestic hate group as the Orlando terrorist was to radical Islam.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left organization that congratulates itself for its profligate naming of Christian groups and other conservative organizations to its ‘Hate List’ will prove itself absolutely irrelevant and morally bankrupt if it fails to now name Black Lives Matter and its equally anti-black cohort Black Youth Project to its hate list. I call on them to do so immediately or tear up the list and admit it is the farce that we have known all along.

You see, Black Lives Matter is proving itself to seek only one end – and that is discord, alienation among Americans, rise in hate, and destruction of community bonds. The relative increase in justice afforded black Americans is of little concern, save as a convenient veneer for their anti-democratic mission.

Black Lives Matter has no more to do with black issues than Students for a Democratic Society had to do with Democracy. They are means to an end, and they use the black population as sacrifices for their goals. When black celebrities like Beyonc̩ jump on board I can only wonder what their goals are Рmore ticket sales? An easy pass from the liberals who control their contracts? It certainly is not to help their community.

White America has a responsibility in all this, and it is not the liberal, Hillary-Clinton style enabling of this horrific heist over black Americans or public displays of self-flagellation about privilege.

White America needs to be brave, they need to stand up against this latest attack on the Black community by the likes of Black Lives Matter – to be unafraid to face the condemnation of the powerful but morally reprehensible liberal elites and mainstream media pushing these lies. Stand by the side of law enforcement, the men and women who are often the only semblance of hope and justice in the crime-ridden inner cities.

If you want to help Black America, this is the strongest and most necessary course of action you can take. No more walking on eggshells as we stand up for what’s right and recall that America is a land where we are all equal under the law. The facts show that even the most basic premise of Black Lives Matter is an utter fabrication: the leading cause of death among black males ages 15 to25 in American is homicide.

We have made strides to help black Americans in recent years, too. Because of Rudy Guiliani’s policies of reducing crime in New York City, tens of thousands of black men, women, and children are alive today that wouldn’t have been otherwise.

Stand up to Black Lives Matter. Show you don’t kowtow to the liberal pressure exacted to achieve their political goals on the backs of the suffering of black Americans due to crime and the dissolution of their communities. It is the hard road to sow in our culture where the right thing is shamed and the wrong thing is held up, but as a law enforcement officer I can tell you this is the time for choosing: law and order, justice, the American way or anarchy, division, hate, and authoritarianism. Black Lives Matter has shown their hand in Dallas: they choose the latter.

Military Coup in Turkey. Restore Secular Government and Oust Islamists?

UPDATE(midnight): Coup has failed opening door to Islamist dictatorship. God help us!

We don't know the outcome but can keep fingers crossed that it's an improvement over current pro-Islamist government!


Turkey is a major NATO ally and on the front line of the Islamist war that grips the Middle East and the world. After multiple terrorist attacks in Turkey, the military may be ready to crack down. More power to them!

Has anyone else noticed how destabilized and chaotic the world has become after nearly eight years of Obama's feckless, weak and delusional leadership?

UPDATE: Obama supports Islamist government over secular military

Whose side is he on?

Terrorist in France Uses Truck to Kill 84 in Attack on National Holiday. Will Obama Now Tout Truck Control?

Tempo of murderous attacks is growing. When will Obama view the matter as anything more than an opportunity to advance a gun grabbing agenda?

UPDATE: Jihad Confirmed! Driver shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he killed!

Bodies litter the streets in France after terrorist attack:

Body of a dead child is covered with doll lying next to her in aftermath of Nice, France attack.
Photos and more information at the Daily Mail.

Two Americans were among the dead including 11 year old Brodie Copeland from Texas:

11 year old Brodie Copeland from Texas was killed along
with his father Sean.
A woman refuses to leave the side of a fallen loved one.
What is common factor in terror attacks?

Immediately after the Orlando night club shooting Obama launched yet another cynical political push for gun control. That won't be so easy this time since the killer used a truck. Other recent attacks include bombings in Baghdad and in airports in Turkey and Belguim and others hacked to death in Bangladesh. The common factor with these and other terror attacks with guns is RADICAL ISLAM! Someone please tell Obama.

With these attacks mounting almost exponentially, it's clear that the current anti-terrorism strategy is NOT WORKING. Obviously, the policy of refusing to connect Islam to terrorism is a horrific mistake (1,2,3) How many more will die before Obama and other leaders wake up?

UPDATE: Hillary Clinton wants to bring one million Muslim refugees to the U.S.!

How long before signs like these appear in our communities?

In Britain:


In Sweden:


It may be too late!

Britain Has a New Prime Minister. 59 Year Old Theresa May is Second Female Leader

A very smooth transition!

The British seem to manage these things flawlessly. First, Prime Minster David Cameron leaves 10 Downing Street which has been his office and home for more than five years with his family and goes to Buckingham Palace to meet Queen Elizabeth II. Once there he resigns and leaves by the back door just as Theresa May, summoned by the Queen, arrives to be asked to form a new government.

It's all done in little more than an hour with live coverage on British television giving moment by moment commentary.

At Buckingham Palace Theresa May accepts Queen Elizabeth's invitation to form a new government.
Earlier, the Cameron family depart #10 Downing Street. Their home for more than five years.
Thus ends a rather messy affair in British politics which saw Cameron resign after losing the vote to remain in the European Union and his expected replacement, former London Mayor Boris Johnson, who was favorite to become the next Prime Minister get knifed in the back by Michael Gove, one of his top lieutenants.

Comparisons will be made between Theresa May and Margaret Thatcher. May is less conservative and certainly does not seem to have the steely resolve that Thatcher was known for.

As far as relations with the United States, it's important to note that the White House was the first to send congratulations to May. This after Obama blundered into the politics of the British referendum on remaining in the European Union and suggested Britain would go "to the back of the queue [line/bus]" if they voted to leave.

UPDATE: Prime Minister May's speech could be American election address

Upon arriving at #10 Downing Street the new Prime Minister made brief remarks designed to underline that she views government not as the object and enricher of an elite few but a servant for ALL people. It's a message we could hear in the U.S. as our presidential election heats up. Here's an excerpt of May's remarks:
PRIME MINISTER MAY: But the mission to make Britain a country that works for everyone means more than fighting these injustices. If you’re from an ordinary working-class family, life is much harder than many people in Westminster realise.

You have a job, but you don’t always have job security. You have your own home, but you worry about paying the mortgage.

You can just about manage, but you worry about the cost of living and getting your kids into a good school.

If you are one of those families, if you’re just managing, I want to address you directly. I know you are working around the clock, I know you’re doing your best and I know that sometimes life can be a struggle.

The government I lead will be driven, not by the interests of the privileged few but by yours. We will do everything we can to give you more control over your lives.

When we take the big calls, we will think not of the powerful but you. When we pass new laws, we will listen not to the mighty but to you.

When it comes to taxes, we will prioritise not the wealthy but you. When it comes to opportunity, we won’t entrench the advantages of the fortunate few, we will do everything we can to help anybody, whatever your background, to go as far as your talents will take you.

Brit Hume: Obama Not Acting Like President but Racial Activist

Obama has made himself president, not of the United States, but the black grievance industry!

I couldn't have said it better than Brit Hume:


BRIT HUME: In Dallas, Tuesday, President Obama will be trying to calm racial tensions that his own behavior has done much to aggravate. From his denunciation of the Cambridge, Massachusetts, police as acting, quote, stupidly in the arrest of law professor Henry Louis Gates, to his assertion that the motives of the Dallas cop killer are unclear, they aren't.

The president has consistently chosen to see things through the eyes of an aggrieved black activist rather than of a president of all the people. He's not failed to speak out whenever a black is killed by a white police officer, but has said next to nothing about the continued slaughters of blacks by other blacks in the streets of Chicago, Baltimore, and other cities.

He has made his sympathy for the Black Lives Matter movement obvious and never mind that the whole premise of the movement seems to be fallacious. No case has given the movement more impetus than the false claim that Michael Brown was shot down in cold blood while trying to surrender to a cop in Ferguson, Missouri two years ago.

And now a study led by a black Harvard law professor has examined 15 years of crime data from 5 major cities and 2 counties. The study found that while police were more often likely to get physical with black suspects than with white ones, when it came to police shootings, there was no racial bias. Did you hear that, Mr. President? No racial bias.
And a further thought from Heather MacDonald, author of the War on Cops:
The fact is that over 6,000 blacks die of homicide each year. That is more than white and Hispanic homicide victims combined, even though blacks are 13 percent of the nation's population. And the reason they are dying of homicide at a rate six times higher than whites and Hispanics combined is because they commit homicide at eight times the rate higher than whites and Hispanics combined. And that type of crime disparity means that when the police are trying to save lives, they are in minority neighborhoods confronting people engaged in drive‑by shootings, killing children.

Obama Sees Racism Behind Every Cop Who Kills But Not Motive of Dallas Shooter Who Targets Whites

Once again, Obama is having trouble getting past his radical left ideology!

At a press conference in Poland Obama was asked about the Dallas shooter who gunned killed five white policeman. He said: "I think it's very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter." This despite the fact that in the ensuing standoff with the shooter police report he said "he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."

Just like the Orlando nightclub shooter and so many other Muslim terrorists who swear allegiance to ISIS, even chanting "Allahu Akbar" as they gun down their victims but Obama can't seem to connect the dots.

But Obama has no qualms about assigning racial motives to police who kill black suspects. After each of these tragic events he instantly heads to the nearest microphone mouthing some smear against cops and what he sees as systemic racism behind every incident.

More to the point, what is Obama's role in ginning up all this racial hatred?

Sadly, Obama can't connect the dots between his own racebaiting rhetoric and it's tragic consequences!

Meanwhile, Attorney General Lynch goes out of her way to threaten prosecution for those who smear Islam in the wake of terrorist attacks. What is she doing about this? Details here. Scratch that. The Attorney General is too busy comforting Black Lives Matter activists and telling them not to get discouraged because their protest turned violent!

“WE ARE CALLING ON THE GANGS ACROSS THE NATION! ATTACK EVERYTHING IN BLUE EXCEPT THE MAIL MAN, UNLESS HE IS CARRYING MORE THAN MAIL!”
More of Obama's community organizing pals?

Obama's Anti-Cop Rhetoric and Racial Appeals Created Climate of Hate Leading to Dallas Cop Massacre

He demands accountability from everyone but himself!

Thursday night's massacre of white police in Dallas was the deadliest attack on U.S. law enforcement since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But it's just the latest and most deadly episode of an alarming trend where blacks are specifically targeting police.

The killer in Dallas made it clear that he hated white people and wanted to kill white cops. How did these ideas take hold in his mind?

The hate that drove Micah Xavier Johnson to kill came from the top. Obama has embraced the Black Lives Matter movement and went so far as to invite leaders to the White House in February to praise them. He has consistently criticized police using overt racial language. In various statements regarding the police he might utter a few sentences about non violence towards police but it's always prefaced by paragraphs describing what he says is systemic racism among police. He did it again on Thursday hours before the Dallas massacre:
OBAMA July 7: But regardless of the outcome of such investigations, what's clear is that these fatal shootings are not isolated incidents. They are symptomatic of the broader challenges within our criminal justice system, the racial disparities that appear across the system year after year.
After the killings in Dallas, Obama's statement on the matter continued to carry the racial dog whistle by suggesting that "racial disparities in our criminal justice system" are partly to blame.

Throughout his presidency Obama has used racial rhetoric to motivate his political base. The tactic goes back to where he said "Cambridge police acted stupidly" in a local Massachusetts matter where a black friend of his was stopped for suspicious behavior. The stunning statement that Trayvon Martin could have been his son followed after. Then, his Administration whipped up anti-cop fervor in Missouri following the shooting of Mike Brown in Ferguson. The White House sent more official representatives to Brown's funeral than they did to that of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (4-0).

It's no coincidence that many Black Lives Matter activists and the racebaiters on the left continue to spew hate towards police and cheer on the shooting. Obama has told them their concerns are justified, even if he's careful not to endorse their language. He doesn't have to endorse their language, he just continues to tell them that systemic racism is real.

Just a sample of the hate speech that goes unchecked by Obama and the Department of Justice after police shootings!
(more here, here.)


Meanwhile, the lie that cops target blacks continues to take hold despite the FACT that according to FBI statistics a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black than a cop killing an unarmed black person.


4 children shot in Cleveland, Ohio in one month period last year.
Do their lives matter? Where are the protests?
In city after city the murder rate continues to climb. Innocent victims are being gunned down and killed, including children. Where are the protests demanding justice? The police are often the only ones to come to their aid just as cops in Dallas led Black Lives Matter protesters to safety during the shooting on Thursday.

When will Obama be held accountable for his anti-cop rhetoric that his followers use to justify killing? When will he declare Blacks Lives Matter a terrorist organization?

UPDATE: Trump and Hillary Response Shows Real Difference

On Facebook, Trump modified his campaign slogan to "MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN" and made the following statement:
Last night’s horrific execution-style shootings of 12 Dallas law enforcement officers – five of whom were killed and seven wounded - is an attack on our country. It is a coordinated, premeditated assault on the men and women who keep us safe.

We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street.
What was Hillary's primary focus? This tweet spells it out:
And what about Attorney General Lynch? She made a point to reach out to Black Lives Matter and urge them not to "be discouraged" by what happened in Dallas. The dead and their families are little more than an afterthought. Racial politics ALWAYS comes first with Democrats!

Trump wants to protect ALL Americans. Hillary wants to blame whites! We've already suffered through eight years of that kind of warped attitude. Trump has the right idea!

In Questioning FBI Director Rep. Trey Gowdy Shows Why Hillary's Lies Prove Intent to Break Law

One after another Gowdy slams home the message that Hillary lied, broke the law and should have been prosecuted!

If you are following this issue and haven't seen this, take a few minutes. It's a tour de force presentation by Gowdy and Comey confirming Hillary lied again and again and again and THOSE LIES are proof of intent which should have resulted in prosecution. Make sure to see the end!

Watch:



If Hillary was a Republican she would already be in jail!

WHITEWASH! FBI Director Finds Clear Evidence Highly Classified Information Was Put at Risk in Clinton Email But Won't Recommend Prosecution

Anyone other than Hillary doing the same would be burned at the stake!


Compare Hillary's mountain of lies in the email scandal to the findings of
FBI Director Comey.
Hillary Clinton: "I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material, so I am certainly well aware of the classification requirements, and did not send classified material."
Everything Hillary Clinton said about her email scandal IS A LIE!

FBI Director Comey statement:
Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail (that is, excluding the later “up-classified” e-mails).

None of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail.
...
We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial e-mail accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal e-mail domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. She also used her personal e-mail extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related e-mails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail account.
Comey did not recommend charges because he said he could find no intent to behave in a negligent manner. That contention is disputed by the very fact Hillary set up her own server to hide email in a way that by their very nature put classified material at risk in a way that Comey admits was "extremely careless."

Furthermore, Comey admits that there is a double standard when he said:
“This is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions.”
Anyone else would be put in jail, fired or both!

Even left wing columnists are having trouble covering up for Hillary on this one. Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post writes:
It’s hard to read Comey’s statement as anything other than a wholesale rebuke of the story Clinton and her campaign team have been telling ever since the existence of her private email server came to light in spring 2015. She did send and receive classified emails. The setup did leave her — and the classified information on the server — subject to a possible foreign hack. She and her team did delete emails as personal that contained professional information.

Those are facts, facts delivered by the Justice Department of a Democratic administration. And those facts run absolutely counter to the narrative put forth by the Clinton operation: that this whole thing was a Republican witch-hunt pushed by a bored and adversarial media.
...
campaigns aren’t governed by the ultimate legality of what Clinton did or didn’t do. So, while dodging an indictment is a good thing — she isn’t under criminal investigation and remains a candidate — it’s a far different thing from being cleared (or even close to it) in the court of public opinion.

For a candidate already badly struggling on questions of whether she is honest and trustworthy enough to hold the office to which she aspires, Comey’s comments are devastating.
Even supporters of failed socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are hopping mad that the "fix is in" to protect Hillary from the same legal jeopardy that any other American would face in a similar situation.

What Comey did was to remove this as a legal impediment to Hillary Clinton becoming President. Instead, he laid out the perfect case for why she is disqualified to be President. However, instead of a jury trial, Hillary must now face the jury of the American electorate. We welcome former Sanders' supporters to join the cause to hold her accountable!

P.S. On the issue of intent, how many drunk drivers who didn't intend to hit that other car are in jail for doing exactly that?

UPDATE: Speaker Paul Ryan statement
"While I respect the law enforcement professionals at the FBI, this announcement defies explanation. No one should be above the law. But based upon the director's own statement, it appears damage is being done to the rule of law. Declining to prosecute Secretary Clinton for recklessly mishandling and transmitting national security information will set a terrible precedent. The findings of this investigation also make clear that Secretary Clinton misled the American people when she was confronted with her criminal actions. While we need more information about how the Bureau came to this recommendation, the American people will reject this troubling pattern of dishonesty and poor judgment."
UPDATE: Former Attorney General Mukasey:
It is a felony for anyone entrusted with lawful possession of information relating to national defense to permit it, through “gross negligence,” to be removed from its proper place of custody and disclosed. “Gross negligence” rather than purposeful conduct is enough. Yet Mr. Comey appears to have based his recommendation not to prosecute on the absence of “clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information”—though he did say in the same sentence that there was “evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”

UPDATE: Others Indicted for Similar with No Intent:
The sort of leniency and mercy and prosecutorial restraint Comey extended today to Hillary Clinton is simply unavailable for most Americans.

What happened here is glaringly obvious. It is the tawdry by-product of a criminal justice mentality in which – as I documented in my 2011 book With Liberty and Justice for Some – those who wield the greatest political and economic power are virtually exempt from the rule of law even when they commit the most egregious crimes, while only those who are powerless and marginalized are harshly punished, often for the most trivial transgressions.

Had someone who was obscure and unimportant and powerless done what Hillary Clinton did – recklessly and secretly install a shoddy home server and worked with Top Secret information on it, then outright lied to the public about it when they were caught – they would have been criminally charged long ago, with little fuss or objection.

Happy 4th of July!

Do we remain a nation that continues to affirm it's founding vows?
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Those Causes Still Today

Read the full document at the National Archives web site. Ponder on these excerpts if you will:
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

"Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world."

"In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

"Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
HAPPY 4TH of JULY!

Why Did Bill Clinton Make Unethical Approach to Attorney General Lynch

He knew, as well as she did, that the contact was highly improper. 

One thing you can say about Bill Clinton is that he's not an idiot. He knows what he is doing. So, when, as reported, he went out of his way to push onto the plane arriving with U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch in Phoenix earlier in the week he knew exactly what he was doing. His wife Hillary was about to be interviewed by the FBI in regard to email scandal and what better way to send a signal than to get chummy with the head of the Justice Department which oversees the FBI?

A.G. Lynch described the meeting as "primarily" social. But as John Kass at the Chicago Tribune points out "You could drive a fleet of dump trucks through "primarily."...But then I guess it all depends on what your definition of primarily is." A wink and a nod from Bill and a question about what Lynch might do in the future is all it would take.

Michael Goodwin reminds us that it was Bill Clinton who first elevated Loretta Lynch to a high government position which ultimately led to her becoming Attorney General.

Even Democrats found the meeting troublesome. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee which oversees DOJ and the FBI said: "I do think that this meeting sends the wrong signal." What was that signal?

Former Department of Justice lawyer J. Christian Adams writes
The tarmac summit sent a signal. It is a signal to all of the hardworking FBI agents who have the goods on Hillary. The attorney general has made it clear what team she is on. The attorney general isn’t on the side of justice. She’s on the Democratic Party team.

This is the unspoken message from Lynch to all of the FBI agents on the case and to all the front-line lawyers at the Justice Department: When you send your recommendation to refer Hillary’s case to the grand jury, you had better realize your burden to convince me I should sign off on a grand-jury request is higher than you thought. These are my friends. This is standard operating procedure in the Obama Justice Department.
Writing at the Washington Post columnist Dan Balz opined that Bill acted out of "foolish indifference or plain foolishness." I disagree. He knew exactly what he was doing. Conspiracy theorists might argue he secretly wants to sabotage his wife's presidential ambitions. But why? The Clintons are raking in millions for their foundation/slush fund based on the idea she might be in a position to repay those who contribute such massive sums.

My thought is that Bill knows that any respectable Attorney General would have to not only recuse him or herself from the investigation they would be compelled to appoint a special prosecutor to avoid any appearance of impropriety. Appointing a special prosecutor is something Republicans have long demanded but it would mean the investigation would start from scratch and continue well into or past the November election.

But Bill Clinton may have miscalculated. Special prosecutors are forbidden in Obama world. Only Republican presidents are held to that standard of accountability. Otherwise we would already have investigations into Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal and of course Hillary Clinton's emails and the Clinton Foundation pay for play scandal.

If Loretta Lynch had been a regular FBI investigator meeting in a "primarily social" setting  with a potential target of an investigation she would be fired. But here again, the same rules do not apply to elites in the Obama Administration. After all, Lois Lerner at the IRS was never even charged for her crimes!

SURPRISE: Hillary signals she might retain Lynch as A.G. if she wins the election!

Hillary Clinton must be in real trouble for Bill to pull this one!
