Megyn Kelly Goes There: Why Is Obama Ignoring Murder of Katie Steinle?

Debra Heine "Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple accused Megyn Kelly of “crossing a line” on her Fox News show The Kelly File Thursday night because she had the audacity to ask a question a lot of Americans are wondering about.

"Why doesn’t the president give Katie Steinle, the woman killed by an illegal immigrant in San Francisco, the same attention he gave to cases involving Freddie Gray, Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin?

"Kate’s murder has since exploded into a national debate on illegal immigrants, sanctuary cities and crime. With the White House ducking the issue of its own acquiescence in these cities’ decision to flout the federal immigration laws which were duly enacted. When asked repeatedly this week to speak to this case, White House spokesman Josh Earnest declined to weigh in other than to refer folks to the Department of Homeland Security.

"A stark contrast to what we saw after Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson. A man we know was attacking a police officer at the time of his death. His funeral saw three Obama officials in attendance, his death drew comments from President Obama personally and his administration also sent in the DOJ and 40 FBI agents dispatched to Missouri after Michael Brown was killed. Where is the swarm of agents in San Francisco?

"Then there was Freddie Gray in Baltimore, a repeat drug offender who was killed in police custody. Here again his funeral was attended by three Obama administration officials and again the President spoke personally to Freddie Gray’s death. And again sent the DOJ in to investigate. When Trayvon Martin was killed in Florida, the president spoke to his death which was later ruled to be in self-defense. But Katie Steinle, nothing. No comments, no swarm of FBI agents, no DOJ investigation, nothing. Why?"

Jimmy Carter Says Hillary Will Win Thanks to This ‘Stupid’ Reason

 

 Bridget Johnson  "Former President Jimmy Carter has tipped his hat toward Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as the liberal standard-bearer seeking the Democratic nomination — but concedes that “stupid” campaign finance laws will hand victory to Hillary Clinton.

"Carter told PBS that “more inherently” Sanders and Elizabeth Warren speak better on the issue of income inequality.

“ 'The senator was in the forefront of saying equality and doing away with discrimination economically, constraining Wall Street, and doing away with the domination that the rich people now have over the political system,” Carter said of the Massachusetts Democrat.

“ 'And so since Elizabeth Warren decided not to run, I think Bernie Sanders has kind of inherited her mantle for promoting less distinction on an economic basis of American citizens.”

"But at the same time, Carter said, he knows “that the stupid decision by the Supreme Court on Citizens United to let money dominate America’s political system is giving, I would say, Hillary Clinton a big advantage that will be, I think, overwhelming toward the end of the campaign.”

"Sanders “speaks more for a liberal and the active wing of the Democratic Party,” the former president said.

 

“ 'I think he’s been a lot bolder in his promulgation of his own ideas than has Hillary Clinton,” he added. “But I think she is going to come along later and win.”

"Carter also commented on race relations, noting that after the Civil Rights Era “I think the United States kind of breathed a sigh of relief and said, well, we have resolved the race issue now, and there won’t be anymore, detectable, at least, elements of an American society where whites are in the supreme position, to the detriment of blacks.”

"“And I think the recent high public about the police and black confrontations and the tragedy in Charleston have reminded us that we still have a long way to go,” he said. “There’s still an innate racism in our country that needs to be addressed accurately.' ”

"The Saudis are in play, casting about for partners.

"In a clear vote of no-confidence in US President Barack Obama’s leadership, Saudi King Salman led several Arab leaders in blowing off Obama’s Camp David summit this week. The summit was meant to compensate the Sunni Arabs for Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran.

"Salman’s decision is further proof that US-Saudi relations have jumped the tracks. For 70 years the Saudis subcontracted their national security to the US military. Deals were closed with a wink and a nod. That’s all over now.

"Obama has destroyed Washington’s credibility. Salman views its gentleman’s agreements as worthless. All he wants now is military hardware. And for that, he can send a stand-in.
The Saudis never put all their eggs in America’s basket. For 70 years the Saudis played a double game, maintaining strategic alliances both with the liberal West and the most reactionary forces in the Islamic world. The Saudis pocketed petrodollars from America and Europe and transferred them to terrorists and jihadist preachers in mosques in the US, Europe and worldwide." . . .

Oregon Wedding Cakes Are Just the Excuse   "Theoretically, liberalism picks pluralism over public morality, nowhere more so than in the intimate realm of human sexuality.

" But the regulatory state has gotten so large, and so powerful, with such extensive reach into Americans’ livelihoods, that the Left cannot resist using it to impose its sexual moral views on the rest of us.

"Take Melissa and Aaron Klein, whose little Oregon bakery refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. It is not technically a crime to refuse to bake a gay wedding cake, so instead of being tried in a court of law, they were tried by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries.

" Why can gay bakers refuse to bake a Celebrate NOM (the National Organization for Marriage) cake, but Aaron and Melissa Klein must bake a gay wedding cake or pay the penalty?"

Why Does It Take A Donald Trump To Rouse Republicans On Sanctuary Cities? . . . "California Gov. Jerry Brown and Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, both of whom helped enact laws to thwart deportations of illegal criminals, have stayed out of sight.

"Most of the attention, however, has focused on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, who immediately brought up the disproportionate criminality among illegal immigrants and was attacked with the race card, the nativist card, a beauty queen he employs and corporate boycotters tut-tutting their political correctness." . . .


All the Areas Where Illegal Aliens Aren’t Deported, on One Map

"A map created by the Center for Immigration Studies shows over 200 states, counties, and cities in the United States known as “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants. In these locales, law officers disobey Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer orders for criminal illegal aliens and hinder the flow of pertinent information about them to federal immigration agents. Depending on the definition of a sanctuary city, the number could exceed 300." . . . Read more
