Video: More Footage Leaks Of CNN’s ‘Staged’ Muslim Anti-Terror Protest

Weasel Zippers  "We previously reported that the Muslim anti-terror protest appeared to at least have been staged to put people into place by CNN to get video on them. CNN claimed that they had just had helped protesters past barrier to be filmed that they didn’t set up or direct anything. Now this makes it very appear it was much more involved, contrary to what CNN claimed, including handing out flowers and signs."


Early this week, CNN was accused of staging a Muslim-led anti-terror protest after the London terror attacks. Now, more footage has dropped that shows what happened on the scene before the CNN shot was taken.
A Youtube video taken by Claire Jordan shows her milling around the scene and “protest” prior to CNN lining up the protesters for their on-air shot. (VIDEO: CNN Responds To Claims They Staged A Muslim Anti-Terror Protest)
There is a group of people in the area, both Muslim and non-Muslim, and some of them can be seen handing out bouquets of flowers and posters.

ACT for America Stages Marches Against ‘Sharia Law’ Nationwide


NBC News   "ACT for America, which the Southern Poverty Law Center designates as an anti­Muslim hate group, is spearheading several rallies across the country Saturday in what is slated to be the group’s largest protest against Islam.

"The "March Against Sharia" will take place in more than 20 cities, including New York, Dallas, and Atlanta.

"In New York City, about 100 protesters and more than 200 counter­protesters verbally clashed in downtown Manhattan Saturday morning, as police officers stood between the groups.

"The rally began with ACT for America supporters denouncing Sharia law and claiming that America was moving in the wrong direction.

"While they were were speaking, counter­protesters were trying to drown them out using bullhorns and noise makers. Some anti­Sharia demonstrators yelled, "Commie scum!," while counter­protesters shouted, "Nazis!," according to NBC New York.

"The nationwide “March Against Sharia” first gained widespread attention when the mayor of Portland, Oregon, moved to stop the local chapter from rallying. Ted Wheeler's decision came after two men were fatally stabbed as they tried to protect two women — one of whom was wearing a headscarf — from an anti­Muslim tirade. " . . .

Young voters to Hillary: stop blaming others for loss

Campus Reform  "Young voters want Hillary Clinton to “move on” from her recent repudiation, saying she should “stop blaming other people, and take responsibility.”

"Until recently, Clinton had largely avoided offering public explanations for her epic defeat, but that all changed last week when she opened up in a series of revealing interviews on the reasons for her loss.
"Was it because of her failure to spend time in crucial states like Wisconsin and Michigan?
"Maybe it was because of voters’ near-universal distrust of her?
"Perhaps the loss was a result of her scandal ridden tenure as Secretary of State?
"Nope.
"From listening to her speak, one might believe Miss Clinton is just about the only thing not to blame for her defeat.
"In interview after interview, the former Senator from New York has listed off a litany of reasons for her failure, ranging from weak data at the DNC, to unfavorable documentaries airing on Netflix, to malicious Russian intervention.
"Each time the topic of defeat was brought up, one person was noticeably absent from Hillary Clinton’s blame: Hillary Clinton.
"Wanting to know what millennials thought of her inability to accept personal responsibility for her defeat, Campus Reform took to the streets of Washington, D.C. to talk with young voters, and it quickly became clear that they were not happy with Mrs. Clinton’s explanations for her defeat." . . .


CSG (Central Student Government) a Social Justice Cult and Doesn’t Represent All UM Students


"Recently, I put forward a resolution to Central Student Government (CSG), A.R. 6-042, entitled “A Resolution That Commits Robustly Both This Body and the University as a Whole to Free Speech, or, the ‘Dangerous School’ Resolution.” The vote was held on March 28; my resolution was defeated. The recent, deeply disturbing events at Middlebury College initially  prompted me to enter the public arena and defend a principle that I believe is absolutely critical to the purpose of this university, the maintenance of a free society, and the pursuit of Truth: free speech." . . .

Can Hillary Clinton Please Go Quietly into the Night?

Clinton, who has grown increasingly public and vocal in recent weeks, appears ready to drive the bus again. But do we have to be the passengers?

Vanity Fair   "With Donald Trump busy spreading havoc around the world—most recently tweeting about James Comey’s testimony, or feeding into the crisis over Qatar—it’s reasonable to ask who can be bothered to gripe about Hillary Clinton. But I can. One makes the time. Or maybe one doesn’t, but in a two-party system there’s only one alternative to the party of Trump, and the role of Clinton in that party is therefore important.

"Lately, it has been increasing. Hillary has been making high-profile public appearances and started talking frankly about her distaste for Trump and her dismay over the people and things that cost her the election. She has even founded a PAC called Onward Together, a 501(c)(4) that will “advance progressive values.” Whether we like it or not, the Clintons are back in the game. It’s up to the rest of us to figure out if we approve.

"Just about everything we do lends itself to a generous or hostile interpretation. Our friends think we feed the poor because we have genuine compassion, and our enemies think we do so because we want to look good. The benign take on motives isn’t always closest to the truth, but it’s the better bet. (On the occasions that I’ve had an inside view of something in the glare of the press, those with the darkest take on it have usually been wrong.) I’ve been tough on Chelsea Clinton—hard not to be—but Hillary Clinton has a much higher accomplishment-to-self-regard ratio. So why not start generously?" . . .

You can't govern by ID: Charles Krauthammer

"Paris was nothing but hot air. Withdrawing was a perfectly plausible policy choice (the other being remaining but trying to reduce our CO2-cutting commitments). The subsequent attacks on Trump were all the more unhinged because the president's other behavior over the last several weeks provided ample opportunity for shock and dismay."
Political Cartoons by Robert Ariail
Charles Krauthammer    "Having coined Bush Derangement Syndrome more than a decade ago, I feel authorized to weigh in on its most recent offshoot. What distinguishes Trump Derangement Syndrome is not just general hysteria about the subject, but additionally the inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences on the one hand and signs of psychic pathology on the other.
"Take Trump's climate-change decision. The hyperbole that met his withdrawal from the Paris agreement -- a traitorous act of war against the American people, America just resigned as leader of the free world, etc. -- was astonishing, though hardly unusual, this being Trump.
"What the critics don't seem to recognize is that the Paris agreement itself was a huge failure. It contained no uniform commitments and no enforcement provisions. Sure, the whole world signed. But onto what? A voluntary set of vaporous promises. China pledged to "achieve the peaking of CO2 emissions around 2030." Meaning that they rise for another 13 years.
"The rationale, I suppose, is that developing countries like India and China should be given a pass because the West had a two-century head start on industrialization." . . .
"It's good to see our Sunni allies confront Qatar and try to bring it into line. But why make it personal -- other than to feed the presidential id? Gratuitously injecting the U.S. into the crisis taints the endeavor by making it seem an American rather than an Arab initiative and turns our allies into instruments of American designs rather than defenders of their own region from a double agent in their midst.
And this is just four days' worth of tweets, all vainglorious and self-injurious. Where does it end?"

Anti-Trump celebration at D.C. bar comes to screeching halt, pics of the glum scene are priceless!

BizPac Review  Video at the link.  "It was supposed to be a sure thing — everyone was gonna get drunk on Thursday morning. Then morning turned into mourning.

"A downtown Washington, D.C. watering hole turned former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee into a celebration." 

"The Union Pub announced yesterday that it would open at 9:30 in to morning and would be “buying a round of drinks for the house every time Trump Tweets about Comey during his testimony,” the bar’s Facebook post for the event read.

“This ‘special’ will run til Comey’s testimony is over, or 4pm, whichever is earlier,” the announcement continued." . . .
