Well, its been over a year since posting on this blog, and once again anger brings me to write.
This 11th hour BS about sexual assault is right out of the Democrat playbook. Yes, the party of women's rights who destroyed Bill Clinton's victims. The recent allegations are a cheap political ploy to undermine the Supreme Court nomination of a qualified individual.
If moderates and conservatives are not mad enough at this liberal BS to go out and vote in the mid-terms, then they deserve to lose.

More on the Political Climate--Left vs. Right
Aggregated and composed from various comments found on the web:
There was a time when most Americans wanted their country to be successful. The goals of the left and right are now diametrically opposed.
The left wants an all powerful socialist one world government. They believe this one world government will be some sort of utopian institution that takes care of them from cradle to grave. The leaders of the left know this is a lie but they wish to put themselves in power. This is why left wing politicians are always saying stupid things like "the Constitution is a living document" And "if the document were to be perfected it would be less negative towards the power of government." This is why the extreme left is resorting to riots and other political violence. This is also why the leftist shills in the mainstream media report leftist political violence and rioting as " protests". This is why leftist politicians like Nancy Pelosi have floated laws about online publishing that curtail the first amendment because they want to control the flow of information and shape public opinion. This is also why leftist politicians so heavily support gun-control, it's hard to force an armed and free populous to submit to worldwide socialism and the UN agenda 21 plan.
The problem is that the left does not view success as normal people do. Success as most used to define it is failure to them. As stated above, they want a global socialist one-world, where America is no longer a super power. Secure borders, booming economy, low taxes, getting people off of welfare, new infrastructure, fair trade, other countries respecting America again...all represents failure to the libs. They hate America. They hate our flag. They hate our anthem. They hate our laws and law enforcers. And they hate President Trump for his efforts to do all of those things to make America great again, after Obama did his best to destroy us.
Here's an example of how the left hates America. Let's check the Twitter account of the former Black Lives Matter leader, who in actuality is white:

A Note on Today's Political Climate
I came across this tidbit while surfing the 'net, and it hits the nail on the head:
Take 60’s hippie counter-culture with its “free love & free drugs”, replacing those with “free EVERYTHING” paid for by the working class; mix in technology that has decimated human interaction to the point of being in constant communication with the world without ever having to speak face-to-face with one single individual; add in several helpings of mega-narcissism (their parents obviously never taught them “the world doesn’t revolve around you!”); throw in this thinking that popular media, entertainment, and academia as they exist now are THE MAJORITY speaking for THE MAJORITY, when in all actuality – as Trump’s election proves – they are simply a MINORITY speaking so vociferously that it just SOUNDS as if they’re the majority; and last but not least, add in the concerted efforts to bring down Christianity not only as a religion but as a way of life, and in doing so demonizing (“call evil, good and call good, evil”) all that sustains a civilization, virtues such as family, faith, service… all long-standing, grounded precepts that seek not to destroy but persevere.
The result of all this is what we see all around us now. --Author unknown

The (Liberal Wacko) Women's March Happened
Why that freak show of an event is given any legitimacy is beyond me. Pro-Life women's groups were banned, one of the organizers is for Sharia law and another one tortured a man to death. And true to form, the media wanted to portray this as mainstream. Let the memes fly:
Rest assured that this does not represent the majority of women. Thankfully there are those willing to speak out for the majority:
Drop the mike.

AFCC Championship Game
Finally calmed down enough to comment on the Steelers so-called AFCC game. What an embarrassment. Here's the rant:
The Steelers have equal or better talent than the Cheatriots, but that talent wasn't used properly by the coaching staff who remains unable to make in-game adjustments (like the Ravens game when he ran up the middle the entire game when it was clearly being shut down). Granted there were some TD drops by the receivers in the AFCC game, but the planning was atrocious and Bill Bellicheat made Tomlin and company look ridiculous.
Immature players who have to make the first down sign or celebrate a tackle when they're down by 21 points. That drives me nuts. Scoreboard,idiot! Maybe they're too busy on Facebook Live to care. And why does the coach put up with the juvenile antics? Bet you won't see that stuff from Belichick's team since it's not tolerated.
And let us not forget that a Hall of Fame QB's best years are being wasted by an OC and coach whose talent is suspect at this point. But Coach Cool Shades wears neat sunglasses, so there's that.
Starting a WR (Sammie Coates), who can't catch a cold since breaking his fingers or hands or whatever earlier in the year, over some impressive rookies or solid veterans (Heyward-Bey, for example). When WR is one of the deepest talent positions on the team, why start the crippled guy?
Then there's the best running back in the league who can't stay healthy (when he's not getting 4 game suspensions for wacky weed.) and said in a post-game media interview that he was hurt before the game. Smart move, dude. Another team just lost a 2nd round draft pick next year for not disclosing an injury. Go back to making your rap videos.
I'm especially disappointed that the team didn't win this one for their Hall of Fame 38 year old linebacker (who is still the biggest bad-ass on the field despite his age) who hopefully will come back for one more year. His skill is rushing the passer, yet he gets put in coverage. What the heck were you thinking? Can we get a real Defensive Coordinator, please?
So to sum up, there were problems with execution by the players, especially the offense, but the coaching staff's job is to put players in the best position to win and they clearly didn't do that. I mean, really, having your corners play 10 yds. off the receivers in a zone (with almost no blitzing) when you're being dinked and dunked to death? Why can a casual fan sitting at home see this but the professionals can't? Whatever happened to the smash mouth Blitzburgh defense of years past? How about man-to-man/press/bump and run coverage? At least this way you're covering somebody instead of leaving opposing WRs alone in the end zone and giving their QB 8-10 seconds to throw the ball.
Rant over. There's plenty of time to heal and look forward to training camp next year (I mean the fans, not the players), but the window is closing fast for this team to win another Super Bowl. Go Falcons!

Crowd Sizes
Lots of hub bub about Friday's inauguration crowd compared to Obama's, as well as Saturday's Women's March.
Of course Obama's inauguration crowd was bigger. Trump voters actually had to work on a Friday to support the other half of the country who is unemployed, while it was just another day in welfare paradise for Obama's crowd.
As to the Women's March, it was on a Saturday, so of course crowds are going to be bigger than other, weekday events. Duh. Yet we have the biased media reporting these things like they are extraordinary. I'm not surprised.

Bye, Felicia
Scandals
The Worst Perversion Yes, there were Obama-administration scandals. Many, in fact.
The Obama administration was full of scandal, though we have a lazy and partisan news media that is determined to see no scandal in it.
The lame-duck columns have been nearly unanimous on the point: Barack Obama is remarkable among recent presidents for having been utterly untouched by scandal, personal or political.
The personal can be conceded: There is no serious allegation that President Obama suffered from the liberated appetites of a Bill Clinton, and the White House interns have by all accounts gone unmolested. But this is hardly remarkable: There were no such allegations about George W. Bush, either, or about George H. W. Bush, or about Ronald Reagan, or Jimmy Carter. Richard Nixon’s name is a byword for scandal, but not scandal of that sort. Nixon’s shocking personal perversion was his taste for cottage cheese with ketchup.
So, three cheers for Barack Obama’s manful efforts to live up to the standard of Gerald Ford. Well done.
The political issue is a different question entirely.
Not only was the Obama administration marked by scandal of the most serious sort — perverting the machinery of the state for political ends — it was on that front, which is the most important one, the most scandal-scarred administration in modern presidential history.
For your consideration:
Under the Obama administration’s watch, the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies from the BATF to the NLRB were illegally used to target and harass the president’s political enemies. The IRS targeting scandal was the most high-profile of these, but others are just as worrisome. Federal investigations and congressional oversight were obstructed, and investigators were lied to outright — a serious crime. The administration protected the wrongdoers and saw to it that they retired with generous federal pensions rather than serving federal sentences for their crimes.
The Obama administration oversaw the illegal sale of arms to Mexican traffickers for purposes that to this date have not been adequately explained, and those guns have been used to murder American law-enforcement officers.
President Obama’s secretary of state was involved in a high-profile case in which she improperly set up a private e-mail system to evade ordinary governmental oversight; she and her associates routinely misled investigators, obstructed investigations, and hid or destroyed evidence. These are all serious crimes.
The Obama administration made ransom payments to the Iranian government and lied about having done so.
Under the Obama administration, the Secret Service has been a one-agency scandal factory, from drunk agents driving their cars into White House barriers to getting mixed up with hookers in Cartagena.
Under the guise of developing “green” energy projects, the Obama administration shunted money to politically connected cronies at Solyndra and elsewhere.
Obama’s men at the Veterans Administration oversaw a system in which our servicemen lost their lives to bureaucratic incompetence and medical neglect, and then falsified records to cover it up.
Under the flimsiest of national-security pretexts, the Obama administration used the Department of Justice to spy on Fox News reporter James Rosen. It also spied on the Associated Press.
The Obama administration’s attorney general, Eric Holder, left office while being held in contempt of Congress for inhibiting the investigation of other Obama administration scandals.
But, no: No embarrassing stain on a blue dress.
Without minimizing the authentic personal degeneracy of Bill Clinton, sexual scandals are minor concerns. They become large public scandals because the numbskulls understand sex and can relate to sexual infidelity. If you’ve ever tried explaining to someone how futures trading works and watched his expression turn to that of a taxidermied mule deer, then you know why it is Bill Clinton, and not Hillary Clinton, who is the face of scandal.
It is one thing to have a degenerate president. It is something else — something far worse — to have a degenerate government. Barack Obama may have spent the past eight years as sober as a Sunday morning (his main vice, we are told, is sneaking cigarettes) and straight as a No. 2 pencil, but he leaves behind a government that is perverted.
A liberal society with decent government requires that the pursuit of political power be insulated from the exercise of political power. That is why we have a Hatch Act and why the various dreams of the would-be campaign-finance police — who would have congressmen and presidents write the rules under which congressmen and presidents may be criticized and challenged — are in reality nightmares. (Here, let us say a word of thanks for the First Amendment and Citizens United.) Having an IRS that sorts nonprofits by their political stances in order to facilitate the harassment of political rivals is in real terms far worse than anything Bill Clinton got up to with Monica Lewinsky, and far worse than the shenanigans that Gordon Liddy and the rest of the Nixon henchmen got up to in the Watergate. The BATF harassment of True the Vote and other Obama-administration enemies is the stuff of which banana republics are made. Using the machinery of the state to seek political power and to aggrandize the political power one holds is the most destructive form of political corruption there is. A sane society would prosecute it the way we prosecute murder or armed robbery. It is a scandal and more than that: It is an assault on the foundations of a free society.
The fact that the same people at CNN who were colluding with the Clinton campaign cannot see a scandal in the Obama administration does not mean that no scandal was there.
For the Democrats and their media partisans, scandals — like homelessness and war casualties — are something that happens to other people.

Podesta Emails Show How America is Run

Obama’s Ephemeral Legacy Anchored in Delusion
In the end America went her own way as if the Obamas had never come.
That is a paraphrase of the last sentence, “In the end China went her own way as if the Americans had never come," of Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Barbara W. Tuchman's book "Sand Against the Wind -- Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-45."
Like Tuchman’s description of the American experience in China, the policies of Barack Obama failed largely because they “were not indigenous demands of the society and culture to which they were being offered.”
Obama ended his administration as it began, with a participation trophy. In 2009, he was given the Nobel Peace Prize for what he might do, and now, less than three weeks before he leaves office, Obama awarded himself the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service for what he didn’t do.
Delusional is the only term that I can muster to describe the chasm that has existed between what the Obama administration perceived or wanted us to believe and the actual state of the nation.
Over the course of eight years, Obama’s pronouncements steadily became, not motivational instruments or representations of a desired state of affairs, but feats of political transubstantiation, where, if he utters them, words become reality.
Reflecting upon his time in office, Obama recently noted the “extraordinary progress” the country has made over the last eight years.
Like beauty, progress is in the eye of the beholder.
Obama thinks race relations have gotten better during his administration, while 2016 polls have indicated that Americans believe race relations have gotten worse and their concern about it is at the highest level since 2001, when data were first collected.
In the political equivalent of a “Jedi Mind Trick”, Valarie Jarrett, Obama’s close friend and longtime adviser, as well as much of the main stream media, claimed that his administration “hasn’t had a scandal,” ignoring such outrages as Benghazi, the IRS fiasco, Fast and Furious, Solyndra, ObamaCare, Pigford, the Veterans Administration’s death list and others.
Obama’s “progress” no doubt includes the Democrat Party’s net loss of 1,042 congressional and state legislative seats, governorships and, finally, the presidency.
A week after the election, Obama said that Americans were “indisputably better off” because of him despite a doubling of national debt, Gross Domestic Product growth of less than 3%, a decrease in the work force participation rate, a stagnant median household income and an increase in the number of food stamp recipients by 10.7 million people, 32% higher than when he took office.
In his weekly address to the nation on Christmas Eve 2016, Barack and Michelle claimed “we made America more respected around the world.” Even college students, their core constituency, don’t believe that, seventy-three percent having said that the United States is less respected by other countries than it was in the past.
I will not mention the threat of radical Islam, because Obama thinks it doesn’t exist.
It was an administration built upon a combination of ideology and incompetence. Ultimately it became an architect of errors rather than a supplier of solutions. Final recognition of which will occur when public awareness exceeds the media’s capacity to varnish the truth.
In the end, Obama’s legacy will be his pursuit of the appearance rather than the substance of accomplishment, an illusion, as enduring as sand against the wind.

"Blast From the Past" Post Regarding Trayvon Martin

Obama: A Legacy of Abject Failure & Deceit
Alas, there is little else that can be said of him and his time in office that is positive. Given the high expectations that accompanied the beginning of his Presidency, it was almost inevitable that Obama would come to disappoint in some ways. Too often, however, his promised potential proved to be unfulfilled, as the audacity of hope became but an empty pipe dream.
Obama the candidate promised a new bipartisan era that would heal America's divides but the country he leaves as his presidency ends is now more divided than ever. Political polarization is more pronounced than possibly it ever was before.
In his initial years, buoyed by a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, he made little effort to be conciliatory and rammed through his signature health care reform bill without a single Republican vote. When the Republicans regained control of House in 2014 and later the Senate four years later he made no serious attempts at outreach. Gridlock between a Congress and the White House of budgetary matters did not even elicit an attempt by Obama to find middle ground.
When legislative initiatives such as gun control failed to secure the necessary votes to pass Obama descended to moral lecturing and at times outright pouting.
Stubbornness was met with stubbornness, and in later years the President increasingly resorted to rule by executive order and weakening of Congressional checks such as the filibuster. With Republicans now hold both the White House, Congress and soon to once again have a majority on the Supreme Court, the now established precedent of "I won" may very well become a nightmare for Democrats of their own making.
Obama took something of a victory that had been achieved in Iraq and Afghanistan and replaced it with defeat born by the premature withdrawal of American troops for no other reason than a crass political desire to be done with the whole affair and, in the former's case, he facilitated the rise of the Islamic State, possibly the most heinous entity of the twenty-first century.
He stood by and did nothing as the Arab Spring destabilized the entire Middle East, and in those cases where he did act, such as Libya, his interventions served only to make matters worse. Iran is now on a clear road to a nuclear weapon, and Turkey - next to Israel possibly America's closest ally in the region - is now under the thumb of a soft-Islamist autocrat who increasingly is joined at the hip with Russia.
Syria will doubtlessly be remembered as the greatest black stain upon Obama's tenure. Under his watch, a rebellion against the Al Assad regime grew into a civil war that killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions more.
Red lines were declared and then quietly ignored as they were crossed, as the chlorine gas and barrel bombs of the Damascus regime rained death from above.
That Aleppo, the birthplace of the rebellion and the last urban centre held by those rebels not openly aligned with Islamic State, has finally fallen only weeks prior to the forces of Al Assad backed by Russian jets and Iranian militiamen is a poignant symbol. America, for its part, has been reduced in this whole sorry affair to dispatching Obama's UN ambassador to berate Al Assad and his allies with empty declarations of "have you no shame?".
As we say goodbye to Barack Obama, we would be forgiven for accompanying it with a corroding good riddance. His place in history, by virtue of him being the first African American president, is secure. It will be more just, however, if he is remembered for what he truly was: a failure who oversaw the decline of Pax Americana and the descent of the world in chaos.

Obama’s Legacy Of Deceit
In its remaining days in power, the Obama administration suddenly punished Vladimir Putin’s Russia for allegedly interfering in the U.S. presidential election. It claimed that Russian or Russian-hired hackers tapped into the records of the Democratic National Committee as well as the correspondence of John Podesta, a Clinton advisor.
But what the Obama administration did not say was that such cyber-crimes are by now old hat. Both the Russian and Chinese governments have been hacking into far more important U.S. records and government archives for years without earning retaliation
The administration also did not mention that the election hacking occurred largely because of Podesta’s own carelessness in using his security password. Moreover, it failed to acknowledge that the Republican National Committee was likewise targeted, but apparently had enough safeguards to prevent successful entry into its records. Finally, the administration refused to mention that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange went on the record saying that he did not receive the email trove from the Russians.
The truth is that Obama, throughout his presidency, has appeased Putin. As president, Obama ended the previously agreed-on Eastern European missile defense; he made open-mic promises to be more flexible with Putin after his reelection; he barely responded to Russia’s aggression toward Crimea and Ukraine; and he constantly criticized both George W. Bush and Mitt Romney for being inordinately tough on Russia.
Until now, he saw no reason to stop enabling Russia. Had Hillary Clinton won the election, Putin’s alleged hacking would not have earned any administration attention. But this time around, an emboldened Putin allegedly went too far and crossed the only red line that Obama might have enforced by supposedly enabling the release of information that might have turned off some voters on Clinton.

Deplorable Americans Decided to Drain the Swamp
Of the many post-election articles I read, this one generally sums up things best for me.
By Todd Starnes
Our long national nightmare is over and the Republic has been saved.
I’m originally from the Deep South. My father, who passed away in 2006, was a blue-collar worker. We lived paycheck-to-paycheck. We went to church on Sunday. We lived a quiet life – just like many families in so-called “Fly-Over Country.”
My father was a member of the Silent Majority and had he been alive he would’ve cast his vote for Donald J. Trump.
I’ve lived in New York City for more than a decade now – and I’ve seen firsthand the contempt for country folks like my father – people from Rural America.
As I wrote in my book, “God Less America,” I feel like a Duck Dynasty guy living in a Miley Cyrus world – where right is wrong, wrong is right – it’s as if our values have been turned upside down.
President Obama called us bitter. He said we were the kinds of people who cling to guns and religion.
Time and time again he stood on foreign soil and apologized for our nation. And to this day it remains unclear whether he believes the United States is the most exceptional nation on Earth.
Hillary Clinton called us deplorable – irredeemable.
"To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the 'basket of deplorables. Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it."
The only thing deplorable was Hillary Clinton's basket of grossly generalistic comments.
"And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up," she went on to say. "He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric."
Her campaign portrayed Conservative Catholicism as a “bastardization of the faith” and seemed to imply that Evangelicals are a bunch of impoverished country bumpkins.
We were mocked by Hollywood and dismissed by Academics. We were marginalized by the media – bullied and belittled by sex and gender revolutionaries.
But all that changed on Election Day – when Donald Trump became a champion for the Silent Majority. He gave us a voice. And now the Silent Majority is silent no more.
We the People have decided that it’s time to drain the swamp.
It’s time to restore traditional values. It’s time to protect the Constitution. It’s time to defend our sovereignty. It’s time to save unborn babies.
It’s time to stand up for the American working man and bring jobs back from China and Mexico. It’s time to eradicate the scourge of Obamacare.
And it’s time to hire the bricklayers so they can start building that giant wall.
The Deplorable Americans have spoken – and on the eight day of November in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Sixteen – we have decided to Make America Great Again.

On Black Lives Matter (but not those who shoot each other nor those aborted in clinics)
Here's where I stand on BLM. First, from Frontpage Mag:
It’s Time to Designate Black Lives Matter a Terrorist Organization--Inciting a war against police is terrorism.
July 11, 2016 Frontpage Editors
At a Black Lives Matter (BLM) rally in Dallas yesterday, demonstrators protested the recent shootings of two African American men by white police officers in Minnesota and Louisiana. “Enough is enough!” the marchers shouted while they held signs bearing slogans like: “If all lives matter, why are black ones taken so easily?” Then, as we now know, an assassin opened fire on the law-enforcement officers who were on duty at the rally. Four policemen and one transit officer were killed, and six additional police were wounded.
No analysis of this atrocity would be complete without noting the now-indisputable fact that every word uttered by BLM and its mouthpieces is an unadulterated lie. The entire self-identified purpose of this movement—which is to demand “an immediate end to police brutality and [to] the murder of Black people and all oppressed people”—is rendered utterly fictitious by a single statement of fact: Of all suspects who are killed by police in the US each year, 41.7% are white, 20.3% are Hispanic, and 31.7% are black—even as blacks account for 38.5% of all arrests for violent crimes, which are the types of crimes most likely to trigger a confrontation with police that could result in a fatality.
These numbers do not in any way suggest a lack of restraint by police in their dealings with black suspects. They suggest precisely the opposite. And that's the dirty little secret. Evidence of systemic racism in police shootings simply doesn't exist. Anywhere.
The premise underlying BLM's whole mission is a lie.
And, of course, justice for brutal and unnecessary loss of black life was never the real agenda of BLM anyway. This fact is painfully evidenced by the vast and ever-accumulating body count of black murders committed predominately by other blacks — every incident of which is met with silence by BLM’s race agitators. Rather, BLM was always a hate group animated not by a desire to save lives, but to take them. Its message is one of hate; for white people, for black people who did not follow its radical agenda, and for the entire nation.
Last night the BLM joined the ranks of major terrorist organizations.
A suspect in the attack last night had made it clear to a negotiator that, inspired to anger to anger by the BLM movement, he wanted to kill “white people” and especially “white officers.”
That’s what racism looks like. That’s what terrorism looks like.
What happened in Dallas was inevitable. It was not an isolated incident. Just ask the families of Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, murdered by BLM supporter Ismaaiyl Brinsley over a BLM cause.
The assassination of the two NYPD officers bore a striking resemblance to the Dallas attack. Had the media and their Democratic allies backed away from their unthinking support of BLM, Dallas need not have happened. Instead the media continued pushing its drumbeat of lies.
Yet BLM case after BLM case collapsed. The Freddie Gray hoax, which wrecked a city, proved hollow, just as the Michael Brown case had. And yet every Democrat, from Obama on down, did not waver.
Dallas is the defining line. The targeted murder of five police officers is a clear terror attack.
And the cause was the incitement by BLM and its media and political allies against police officers. BLM and its media propagandists have spent years portraying cops as killers out to exterminate the black community. What happened in Dallas was a direct result of that exterminationist rhetoric.
BLM’s message is that the country and its police officers are out to commit “genocide” against “brown bodies,” that the nation is illegitimate and that police officers are racist killers. Instead of being shunned, this rhetoric was rewarded, as when literary darling Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote that police officers “were not human to me.” For his hate speech, Coates received a MacArthur Genius Grant.
Some agreed with Coates. They saw police officers as less than human and killed them.
We cannot forget the origins of the Dallas attack in such rhetoric or BLM protesters chanting, “Pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon.” If we forget, then the next BLM terrorist attack will be our responsibility.
And while we can respect the rights of even hate groups to operate, we cannot tolerate terrorist organizations. It’s time to shut down BLM before the next shooting happens.
The National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund has recorded a very significant spike in police officer deaths. Last June, Chief Brown responded to the shooting attack at DPD headquarters by saying, “Go to a restaurant with us one time. Go eat lunch with us. We’re never going to sit with our back to the door.”
But it’s impossible to stop everyone who wants to kill a police officer. And it’s time we turned our attention to those who are behind the attacks.
The media is still repeating the same lies that we heard in Ferguson or Baltimore about “peaceful protests” suddenly turning violent. But those lies won’t fly anymore. The protests were never peaceful. When they become openly violent, it’s not a radical shift but an implementation of their core message.
BLM is a terrorist movement, and it should be designated as such by the U.S. government. It started out as the KKK. Now it’s evolving into Al Qaeda with an ideological core that promotes the idea of a total war while “lone wolves” do its dirty work. It’s time to hold it — and its supporters — accountable. It’s up to us to see that Dallas never happens again.
From around the web:
According to the mainstream media, Black Lives Matter is a peaceful group fighting for civil rights. But this narrative flies in the face of hard truths concerning Black Lives Matter's conduct since its inception in 2012.
Especially in light of the recent acts of anarchy and cop assassinations committed by members and sympathizers of the movement, it's important that the public know exactly what this group participates in and stands for.
Here are five facts that support the Hypothesis:
1. Black Lives Matter pushes a false narrative based on lies.
Leaders in the Black Lives Matter movement have expressed outrage over white cops allegedly targeting and murdering black men in cold blood with racial animus. The movement has depicted such horrors as an “epidemic.”
But such a narrative is false; statistical evidence has wholly debunked these claims and a new study has actually found no racial bias against blacks in police shootings.
Further, even the blown-up stories in the media helping to build the false narrative are built on lies: The Black Lives Matter movement earned its claim to fame by promoting the lie that Michael Brown was fatally shot by white officer Darren Wilson while he was surrendering with his "hands up."
This is false. It never happened. Instead, Brown was believed to have been reaching for Wilson’s gun moments before he was shot and killed in an act of self-defense. This was evidenced in the Justice Department’s own investigation, which completely exonerated Wilson of wrongdoing.
Still, even today, Black Lives Matter protesters chant the lie over and over again.
2. Black Lives Matter calls for anarchy, and they follow through on it.
Black Lives Matter protesters’ staple chant is “no justice, no peace.” They have also explicitly called to “dismantle this system.”
And yes, they act on those calls for anarchy.
For instance, in response to the acquittal and total exoneration of law enforcement office Darren Wilson, movement members set the city of Ferguson, Missouri on fire. Innocent people had their businesses trashed and looted while the peaceful people of Missouri (black and white alike) awakened to find their city in shambles, literally on fire.
Further, just this weekend, over 300 people were arrested at Black Lives Matter protests held in New York, Chicago, Minnesota and Louisiana.
3. Black Lives Matter has explicitly called for dead cops and the “lynching” of white people.
Black Lives Matter members have disturbingly called for the murder of innocent white people, white police officers in particular.
At a Black Lives Matter protest held in Portland, Oregon on Sunday, one attendee told fellow protesters to evade the law and murder cops if they feel they have been targeted by an officer for a crime they did not commit:
Black Lives Matter protesters chant “Pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon!” at the rallies.
Black Lives Matter protesters chant “What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want them? Now!” in response to the death of Eric Garner: A radio host affiliated with Black Lives Matter agrees with an anonymous caller demanding that white people be a "sacrifice" for alleged racially-motivated police brutality. The caller suggests that after black people murder innocent white people, they should "hang them from a tree, take pictures of it and send it to mother f*ckers."
4. Black Lives Matter has pushed for segregation, even from Black Lives Matter sympathizers and their own members who are not black.
In November of 2015, Black Lives Matter members openly promoted segregation: "Activists" at the University of Missouri demanded a “blacks only healing space” where white “allies” and sympathizers of their cause were kicked out. This counterproductive move was in response to perceived “racial injustices” and “white privilege” at the college.
Earlier this month, Black Lives Matter members reportedly refused to sell a white supporter of the movement a Black Lives Matter t-shirt because of the color of his skin. Apparently the t-shirts were reserved for blacks only.
5. The Obama Administration has legitimized Black Lives Matter.
Despite all the racist, hateful acts committed and promoted by members of the Black Lives Matter movement, our president continuously legitimizes the group.
As recent as February of this year, Mr. Obama invited race-hustlers and prominent Black Lives Matter figures such as Deray McKesson to speak about race at the White House. He reportedly told McKesson and the other so-called "activists" that they have done "outstanding work" and "made history."
"We've got some young people here who are making history as we speak," said Obama. "People like Brittany [Packnett] who served on our Police Task Force in the wake of Ferguson and has led many of the protests that took place there and shined a light on the injustice that was happening. People like Deray McKesson who has done some outstanding work mobilizing in Baltimore around these issues -- and to see generations who are continuing to work on behalf of justice and equality and economic opportunity is greatly encouraging to me."
Of course, the left as a whole, Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders and the mainstream media at large, have also pitched in to legitimize and pander to the hate group.
But the best of all comes from Rudy Giuliani:

Giuliani: Black Lives Matter 'inherently racist,' black people should respect police
Published: July 11, 2016 at 8:27 AM
Andrew V. Pestano
NEW YORK, July 11 (UPI) --NEW YORK, July 11 (UPI) -- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Black Lives Matter is "inherently racist" and suggested the movement should focus on black people killing other black people.
During an interview with CBS News' Face the Nation on Sunday, Giuliani said the Black Lives Matters movement focuses too much on police killing black people, which "happens rarely although with tremendous attention," and not enough effort focusing on black-on-black violence, "which happens every 14 hours in Chicago."
Giuliani, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, said African-American parents should teach their children to respect police and to avoid violence in their own communities.
"If I were a black father and I was concerned about the safety of my child, really concerned about it and not in a politically activist sense, I would say be very respectful to the police, most of them are good, some can be very bad and just be very careful," he said. "I'd also say be very careful of those kids in the neighborhood, don't get involved with them because, son, there's a 99 percent chance they're going to kill you -- not the police."
Giuliani, who has often said the Black Lives Matter movement threatens police officers, said African Americans increase tension in music and pop culture through "rap songs about killing police officers and they talk about killing police officers and they yell it out at their rallies."
"When you say Black Lives Matter, that's inherently racist. Black lives matter. White lives matter. Asian lives matter. Hispanic lives mater. That's anti-American and it's racist," Giuliani said.
Giuliani said white people should understand that "African-American men have a fear -- and boys have a fear -- of being confronted by the police ... some people may consider it rational, some people may consider it irrational ... but it's a reality, it exists."
Black Lives Matters defines itself as an "ideological and political intervention in a world where black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise."
Giuliani's comments came days after five police officers in Dallas were killed during a protest over recent police-related killings of black men. The shooter, later killed by a police-controlled robot, allegedly told police he was targeting them to make them pay for the police-related killings.

Bathroom Controversy
So Obama wants to tell us what bathroom to use. I don't remember seeing government's role in bathroom management in the Constitution. Oh silly me, the Libtard-In-Chief doesn't believe in the Constitution, so we shouldn't be surprised.
Why is it that the LGBTQF community is .01 to .03 percent of the U.S. population, but 99.97 % have to bow down to them? This is the liberal way. Its really not about a little freaky-freaky in the bathroom, its about big government telling us how to live our lives. The left never stops, do they? Here are some articles about liberalism on display:
5/13/16
http://thefederalist.com/2016/05/13/obama-threatens-schools-let-men-in-the-little-girls-room-or-else/
In an eerie statement, Education Secretary John King—whom leading Republicans made sure would get confirmed despite his very public failures as New York’s education commissioner including his ardent, widely opposed support for Common Core—described the situation in a way that could apply both to gender-disordered children and opposite-sex children forced to get naked next to them at school.
Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick unwittingly provided perhaps the best response to the federal trans steamroller in a statement this week about Fort Worth Superintendent Kent Scribner’s enactment of a similar policy before this recent increase in federal pressure. Patrick first called on Fort Worth parents to fire Scribner for “plac[ing] his own personal political agenda ahead of the more than 86,000 students attending 146 schools in the district…” Then, he hit the real everymother’s reaction (translated into lawmaker): “this may be an example of the need for the Legislature to pass a meaningful School Choice Bill.”
He’s right. Given the federal government’s stranglehold over public schools, school choice programs may be the only hope for parents who want to protect their children’s minds and souls but cannot homeschool or afford private school outright—meaning, most of us.
A shocking editorial in the Charlotte Observer counseled young girls to get over the "discomfort" they feel at the sight of male genitalia when transgender facilities are allowed in North Carolina.
The newspaper assumes the law will eventually be repealed or declared illegal. While that may or may not happen any time soon, it is the justification for this position used by the Observer that reveals the true nature of this battle of the bathroom.
How is this issue remotely connected to race relations? It isn't, but gullible Americans will believe it, despite the disconnect from reality. Black and white people did not choose their race. By its very definition, transgendered people choose their gender identity. That's a monumental difference hidden in this politically correct message.
As for the safety of women, liberals believe that attacks by men in women's rooms will be rare, so it's ok - except,of course, for the parents of a young girl who is molested on one of those "rare" occassions.
But "progress" demands we make those kinds of sacrifices, you ignorant hillbillies.
When a man exposes himself on the street in front of a teenage girl, the police always offer the services of a psychologist to the young woman to help her deal with the trauma of seeing a male penis. Liberals will claim the context is different in a locker room or bathroom. That's nonsense. To a teenage girl, a penis is a penis and context is meaningless.
But to the Charlotte Observer and the Obama administration, teenage girls being exposed to the sight of male genitals is something to be "overcome." In this lunatic world, we place the burden of transgender progress on young girls, telling them to just get over it.

But to the Charlotte Observer and the Obama administration, teenage girls being exposed to the sight of male genitals is something to be "overcome." In this lunatic world, we place the burden of transgender progress on young girls, telling them to just get over it.

Why is it that the LGBTQF community is .01 to .03 percent of the U.S. population, but 99.97 % have to bow down to them? This is the liberal way. Its really not about a little freaky-freaky in the bathroom, its about big government telling us how to live our lives. The left never stops, do they? Here are some articles about liberalism on display:

Obama Threatens Schools: Let Men In the Little Girls' Room Or Else
Federal control over public schools has sent them into a death spiral, exemplified in the Obama administration’s new demands. Families need a new education ecosystem free from federal bullying.
The Obama administration is sending out an edict today to every school district in the country, insisting they open bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers to all children, regardless of sex, or risk federal discrimination lawsuits and yanked federal funds. Schools must treat children as transgender and thus entitled to open facilities access as soon as parents say they are, not after a medical diagnosis or birth certificate change. Schools may, however, give all the other kids with healthy gender identities curtains to hide behind or license to use toilet stalls to change.
In an eerie statement, Education Secretary John King—whom leading Republicans made sure would get confirmed despite his very public failures as New York’s education commissioner including his ardent, widely opposed support for Common Core—described the situation in a way that could apply both to gender-disordered children and opposite-sex children forced to get naked next to them at school.
“No student should ever have to go through the experience of feeling unwelcome at school or on a college campus,” he said. “We must ensure that our young people know that whoever they are or wherever they come from, they have the opportunity to get a great education in an environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence.” All children should be free from discrimination and harassment. Except the at-minimum 99.7 percent of kids who aren’t transgender. They just need to suck it up.
Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick unwittingly provided perhaps the best response to the federal trans steamroller in a statement this week about Fort Worth Superintendent Kent Scribner’s enactment of a similar policy before this recent increase in federal pressure. Patrick first called on Fort Worth parents to fire Scribner for “plac[ing] his own personal political agenda ahead of the more than 86,000 students attending 146 schools in the district…” Then, he hit the real everymother’s reaction (translated into lawmaker): “this may be an example of the need for the Legislature to pass a meaningful School Choice Bill.”
He’s right. Given the federal government’s stranglehold over public schools, school choice programs may be the only hope for parents who want to protect their children’s minds and souls but cannot homeschool or afford private school outright—meaning, most of us.

Charlotte Observer: Girls must overcome 'discomfort' at seeing male genitals in locker room
A shocking editorial in the Charlotte Observer counseled young girls to get over the "discomfort" they feel at the sight of male genitalia when transgender facilities are allowed in North Carolina.
The newspaper assumes the law will eventually be repealed or declared illegal. While that may or may not happen any time soon, it is the justification for this position used by the Observer that reveals the true nature of this battle of the bathroom.
“This is what the Obama administration nudged the rest of the country toward Friday,” the editorial said. “Yes, the thought of male genitalia in girls’ locker rooms — and vice versa — might be distressing to some. But the battle for equality has always been in part about overcoming discomfort — with blacks sharing facilities, with gays sharing marriage — then realizing it was not nearly so awful as some people imagined.”The notion that the Obama administration is "nudging" anything is laughable. The Obama Justice Department is shoving this rule down the throats of Americans, most of whom oppose the policy.
How is this issue remotely connected to race relations? It isn't, but gullible Americans will believe it, despite the disconnect from reality. Black and white people did not choose their race. By its very definition, transgendered people choose their gender identity. That's a monumental difference hidden in this politically correct message.
While admitting that exposure to male genitalia is a possible outcome of transgender bathroom laws, the editorial said the notion that such laws constitute a threat to the privacy and safety of women and children is a “political fiction” pushed by Republicans.So, biological men enter the bathroom used by biological women and this is not threat to the privacy of women? What spaceship brought this alien to earth?
“Those safety issues are political fiction — non-transgender men wouldn’t have been allowed in women’s bathrooms under the Charlotte ordinance that HB 2 killed, and the 200 or so cities with similar ordinances have had no incidents involving bathroom predators,” the editorial said
As for the safety of women, liberals believe that attacks by men in women's rooms will be rare, so it's ok - except,of course, for the parents of a young girl who is molested on one of those "rare" occassions.
But "progress" demands we make those kinds of sacrifices, you ignorant hillbillies.

The Enemy Within

The West’s War on Jihad Begins at Homehttp://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/03/the_wests_war_on_jihad_begins_at_home.html#ixzz49uc4rpjD As someone specializing in Islamic jihadism, one would expect I’d have much to say immediately after jihadi attacks of the sort that recently occurred in Brussels (35 killed), or San Bernardino (14 killed), or Paris (130). Ironically, I don’t: such attacks are ultimately symptoms of what I do deem worthy of discussion, namely, root causes. (What can one add when a symptom of the root cause he has long warned against occurs other than “told you so”?)
So what is the root cause of jihadi attacks? Many think that the ultimate source of the ongoing terrorization of the West is Islam. Yet this notion has one problem: the Muslim world is immensely weak and intrinsically incapable of being a threat. That every Islamic assault on the West is a terrorist attack -- and terrorism, as is known, is the weapon of the weak -- speaks for itself.
This was not always the case. For approximately one thousand years, the Islamic world was the scourge of the West. Today’s history books may refer to those who terrorized Christian Europe as Arabs, Saracens, Moors, Ottomans, Turks, Mongols, or Tatars -- but all were operating under the same banner of jihad that the Islamic State is operating under.
No -- today, the ultimate enemy is within. The root cause behind nonstop Muslim terrorization of the West is found in those who stifle or whitewash all talk and examination of Muslim doctrine and history; who welcome hundreds of thousands of Muslim migrants while knowing that some are jihadi operatives and many are simply “radical”; who work to overthrow secular Arab dictators in the name of “democracy” and “freedom,” only to uncork the jihad suppressed by the autocrats (the Islamic State’s territory consists of lands that were “liberated” in Iraq, Libya, and Syria by the U.S. and its allies).
So are Western leaders and politicians the root cause behind Islamic terrorization of the West?
Close -- but still not there yet.
Far from being limited to a number of elitist leaders and institutions, the Western empowerment of the jihad is the natural outcome of postmodern thinking -- the real reason an innately weak Islam can be a source of repeated woes for a militarily and economically superior West.
Remember, the reason people like French President Francois Hollande, U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are in power -- three prominent Western leaders who insist that Islam is innocent of violence and who push for Muslim immigration -- is because they embody a worldview that is normative in the West.
In this context, the facilitation of jihadi terror is less a top down imposition and more a grass root product of decades of erroneous, but unquestioned, thinking. (Those who believe America’s problems begin and end with Obama would do well to remember that he did not come to power through a coup but that he was voted in -- twice. This indicates that Obama and the majority of voting Americans have a shared, and erroneous, worldview. He may be cynically exploiting this worldview, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s because this warped worldview is mainstream that he can exploit it in the first place.)
Western empowerment of the jihad is rooted in a number of philosophies that have metastasized into every corner of social life, becoming cornerstones of postmodern epistemology. These include the doctrines of relativism and multiculturalism on the one hand, and anti-Western, anti-Christian sentiment on the other.
Taken together, these cornerstones of postmodern, post-Christian thinking hold that there are no absolute truths and thus all cultures are fundamentally equal and deserving of respect. If any Western person wants to criticize a civilization or religion, then let them look “inwardly” and acknowledge their European Christian heritage as the epitome of intolerance and imperialism.
Add to these a number of sappy and silly ideals -- truth can never be uttered because it might “hurt the feelings” of some (excluding white Christians, who are fair game), and, far from suspecting them, the West should go out of its way to appease Muslims until they “like us” -- and you have a sure recipe for disaster, that is, the current state of affairs.
Western people are bombarded with these aforementioned “truths” from the cradle to the grave -- from kindergarten to university, from Hollywood to the news rooms, and now even in churches -- so that they are unable to accept and act on a simple truism that their ancestors well knew: Islam is an inherently violent and intolerant creed that cannot coexist with non-Islam (except insincerely, in times of weakness).
The essence of all this came out clearly when Obama, in order to rationalize away the inhuman atrocities of the Islamic State, counseled Americans to get off their “high horse” and remember that their Christian ancestors have been guilty of similar if not worse atrocities. That he had to go back almost a thousand years for examples by referencing the crusades and the Inquisition -- both of which have been completely distorted by the warped postmodern worldview, including the portrayal of imperialist Muslims as victims -- did not matter to America’s leader.
Worse, it did not matter to most Americans. The greater lesson was not that Obama whitewashed modern Islamic atrocities by misrepresenting and demonizing Christian history, but that he was merely reaffirming the mainstream narrative that Americans have been indoctrinated into believing. And thus, apart from the usual ephemeral and meaningless grumblings, his words -- as with many of his pro-Islamic, anti-Christian comments and policies -- passed along without consequence.
Once upon a time, the Islamic world was a superpower and its jihad an irresistible force to be reckoned with. Over two centuries ago, however, a rising Europe -- which had experienced over one millennium of jihadi conquests and atrocities -- defeated and defanged Islam.
As Islam retreated into obscurity, the post-Christian West slowly came into being. Islam didn’t change, but the West did: Muslims still venerate their heritage and religion -- which impels them to jihad against the Western “infidel” -- whereas the West learned to despise its heritage and religion, causing it to become an unwitting ally of the jihad.
Hence the current situation: the jihad is back in full vigor, while the West -- not just its leaders, but much of the populace -- facilitates it in varying degrees. Nor is this situation easily remedied. For to accept that Islam is inherently violent and intolerant is to reject a number of cornerstones of postmodern Western thinking that far transcend the question of Islam. In this context, nothing short of an intellectual/cultural revolution -- where rational thinking becomes mainstream -- will allow the West to confront Islam head on.
But there is some good news. With every Islamic attack, the eyes of more and more Western people are opened to the true nature of Muhammad’s religion. That this is happening despite generations of pro-Islamic indoctrination in the West is a testimony to the growing brazenness of the jihad.
Yet it still remains unclear whether objective thinking will eventually overthrow the current narrative of relativism, anti-Christianism, and asinine emotionalism.
Simply put, both celebrating multiculturalism and defeating the jihad is impossible.
However, if such a revolution takes place (sooner rather than later), the Islamic jihad will be easily swept back into the dustbin of history. For the fact remains: Islam is terrorizing the world, not because it can, but because the West allows it to.
