Blue Lives Matter Too, Mr. President

IBD

WAR On Cops: A chilling new report finds the number of police officers murdered in the line of duty has doubled so far this year compared with the first quarter of last year. Yet the president remains silent about the spike in cop killings.

While that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given his disrespect for law enforcement, it is nonetheless wrong. Recall that Obama has loudly supported a black militant movement that has called for violence against cops.

These threats by Black Lives Matter have manifested in the shooting deaths of 16 officers through April 8 of this year vs. eight in the comparable period in 2015, which was already historically high, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, which maintains a database on police fatalities.

. . . 

"Obama embraces them even as they’ve led protestors in marches demonizing cops as “pigs” and calling for them to “fry” — a phrase they borrowed from the murderer who ambushed two NYPD cops in the name of Michael Brown.

"Obama shamelessly echoes Blacks Lives Matter in jawboning cops as racist. His rhetoric has contributed to the atmosphere of hate.

"Before any more cops are ambushed, we urge the president to for once defend them and demand a halt to the violence targeting them. Blue lives matter, too."

U.S. 'surge operation' to clear 10,000 Syrian refugees in just 3 months, 600 interviewed A DAY

Washington Examiner

"The administration [Ed. Barack Obama] has established a "surge operation" in Jordan to process 10,000 Syrian refugees and get them to the United States by President Obama's deadline of September 30, according to a new report on the temporary processing center in Amman.

"The report said that some 600 interviews are being conducted every day, suggesting that 36,000 refugees are being targeted for entry into the United States." . . .

Krauthammer: The coming train wreck

Does Mr. Trump not comprehend the import of this election? With Supreme Court Justices to be chosen and any number of oppressive actions by Obama's departments and by his executive orders that must be cancelled, can't Trump see what his candidacy is likely to do to this nation? Mr Trump is about to give the presidency over to the most dangerous people that could run for that office and who, along with Mr. Trump, should never be considered as serious candidates. TD

 

"Trump did not exactly advance his needed outreach with his reaction to the Wisconsin result: a nuclear strike on “Lyin’ Ted,” as “a puppet” and “a Trojan horse” illegally coordinating with his super PACs (evidence?) “who totally control him.” Not quite the kind of thing that gets you from 35 percent to 50 percent."

Charles Krauthammer

"Yes, the big Wisconsin story is Ted Cruz’s crushing 13-point victory. And yes, it greatly improves his chances of denying Donald Trump a first-ballot convention victory, which may turn out to be Trump’s only path to the nomination.

Nonetheless, the most stunning result of Wisconsin is the solidity of Trump’s core constituency. Fundamentalist Trumpism remains resistant to every cosmic disturbance. He managed to get a full 35 percent in a state in which:

● He was opposed by a very popular GOP governor (80 percent approval among Republicans) with a powerful state organization honed by winning three campaigns within four years (two gubernatorial, one recall).● He was opposed by popular, local, well-informed radio talk show hosts whose tough interviews left him in shambles.● Tons of money was dumped into negative ads not just from the Cruz campaign and the pro-Cruz super PACs but from two anti-Trump super PACs as well.

Obama Administration Sticking it to Whitey

One dear friend of ours - white friend, by the way - who came out of poverty told us that the culture never leaves them. That you can lift someone out of the slums and place them into a mansion, but they will continue to think as they did.

Robert Weissberg  "Is the Obama administration, or at least some officials in it, hostile toward whites? This is certainly an awkward, publicly unspeakable question -- and answering it is exceptionally difficult. Not easy to discern the motives of countless Washington bureaucrats. 

"Nevertheless, recent events outside of Baltimore, MD suggest that enmity toward whites does afflict some Obama administrators and our proof, though short of the smoking gun standard, is probably as good as it gets. 

"In a nutshell, thanks to Washington’s money and political pressure, thousands of poor blacks will now be re-located from Baltimore’s slums to upgraded housing in the surrounding, nearly all-white suburbs. " . . . 

. . . 

"One can only wonder why officials cannot foresee this racial-train-wreck-in-the-making. This is punitive policy-making that can only reflect the presence of deeply rooted racial animosities. Helping poor African Americans find decent housing is just the polite cover story. At least some government officials in the Obama administration want to punish suburban whites and given that Uncle Sam will foot the bills, inflicting this damage is irresistible."
