Tragedy as 19-year-old son of former Fox News host Eric Bolling dies hours after his father was fired . . .

UK Daily Mail

. . . Eric Chase, 19, Bolling's only child with wife Adrienne, died on Friday evening, just hours after his father was parted ways with the cable giant.

"Bolling, 54, confirmed the tragic passing of the University of Colorado Boulder student in a tweet on Saturday afternoon, saying that he and his wife were distraught.

" 'Adrienne and I are devastated by the loss of our beloved son Eric Chase last night. Details still unclear. Thoughts, prayers appreciated' wrote Bolling.

"He also later tweeted authorities have told him that there were no signs of self-harm and that an autopsy will take place next week.

"The shocking news was first reported in a tweet by journalist Yashar Ali, who also broke the story last month about alleged lewd texts sent by Bolling to female staff members at Fox News.

"Bolling insists the allegations are false and has filed a $50 million lawsuit against Ali" . . .

UC Berkeley Mocked For Offering Counseling To Students Stressed By Ben Shapiro Speech

Weasel Zippers

"Sticks and stones…

"Via Mediate:

There has been a lot of buildup ahead of Ben Shapiro‘s speaking engagement at UC Berkeley. Between the university initially blocking him from its campus and its efforts to limit the crowd size, it’s becoming quite the anticipated event.
Shapiro, conservative author and editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire, has stirred controversy on college campuses in the past and was banned from speaking at DePaul University and California State University of Los Angeles, not because he himself or anything he says is controversial, but because students and faculty were simply outraged by his presence.
Ahead of the Sept. 14 speech, UC Berkeley sent out a newsletter to its students and faculty, which went over logistics and security of the event and encouraged those who plan to protest to do so peacefully. But then it said the following:
We are deeply concerned about the impact some speakers may have on individuals’ sense of safety and belonging. No one should be made to feel threatened or harassed simply because of who they are or for what they believe. For that reason, the following support services are being offered and encouraged:
Student support services
Employee (faculty and staff) support services

Upcoming Book/Excuse Tour Gives Democrats Hillary Fatigue Syndrome

"Hillary Clinton’s four month long reminder tour of the party’s most bitter recent failure will be a test for them. Will some members of the party who are more prominent start speaking out against her?
She isn’t doing much to earn “respected elder stateswoman” status from the Democrats. That is probably because she probably considers herself viable candidate, even if no one outside of her kitchen does."

The American Spectator

"Hillary Clinton’s continued obsession with inflicting herself upon a public that told her to go away almost a year ago is now giving agita to those who used to be close to her.

According to Politico, the Democrats are sweating her impending book tour.

President Donald Trump may be the only person in politics truly excited about Hillary Clinton’s book tour.

Democratic operatives can’t stand the thought of her picking the scabs of 2016, again — the Bernie Sanders divide, the Jim Comey complaints, the casting blame on Barack Obama for not speaking out more on Russia. Alums of her Brooklyn headquarters who were miserable even when they thought she was winning tend to greet the topic with, “Oh, God,” “I can’t handle it,” and “the final torture.”

Political reporters gripe privately (and on Twitter) about yet another return to the campaign that will never end. Campaign operatives don’t want the distraction, just as they head into another election season. And members of Congress from both parties want the focus on an agenda that’s getting more complicated by the week.

But with a new NBC News poll showing her approval rating at 30 percent, the lowest recorded for her, Clinton kicks it off on Tuesday with a signing at the Union Square Barnes & Noble in New York. She’ll keep it going all the way through December, all across the country.

What’s changed in Britain since same-sex marriage?

"Shortly after the election campaign, Farron resigned. He stated that it was now impossible, for a believing Christian to hold a prominent position in British politics."

The Spectator, Australia

. . . "Freedom of religion: Much was made in the UK, about supposed exemptions, designed to ensure that believers would always be allowed to stay true to their convictions.

Four years later, the very same people who made ‘heartfelt promises’, now work tirelessly to undermine them. . . .

"It became clear, during this year’s general election, just how militant the LGBT lobby have become, following marriage redefinition. The primary target was Tim Farron, leader of England’s third largest political party, the Liberal Democrats. High-profile journalists had heard that Farron was a practising Christian. In every single interview thereafter, they demanded to know. Did he personally believe homosexual sex to be a sin? He practically begged the commentariat, to allow him to keep his personal faith and legislative convictions separate. For decades, he pointed out, he had out vocally and legislatively supported the LGBT Lobby. Likewise, he had long backed same-sex marriage, voting for it enthusiastically. This simply was no longer enough." . . .

It appears that standing up for your biblical beliefs not only causes you to be persecuted, but unable to find work and support your family.  Is the day coming when even government benefits will require our adhering to a certain political stand?  We do not learn from history.

In Berkeley, The Renaming Of Campus Buildings Takes A Turn To The Bizarre

How is it that our nation's culture and history are being radically changed by people we find unlikable and whom we have no respect for?

Hot Air

"The student body at Berkeley has a lot on their plate these days what with the imminent arrival of Ben Shapiro sending everyone scrambling for their safe spaces and all. But with so much to be done on the social justice front there’s simply no rest for the weary.

"In case you hadn’t heard, there are offensively named buildings to be tackled on campus. We must wipe away all vestiges of racism or colonialism or… something. With that in mind, the students are looking to change the name of Barrows Hall. That one clearly has to go because of the evil, sordid history of the man it was named after. (The College Fix)" . . .

Even with Irma knocking at our door, we here in Miami are NOT FREAKING OUT AT ALL!

. . . "When we’re not eating our hurricane supplies or waiting in line to buy more, we’re going on the Internet to check the computer models, which are these little lines on a map showing where various computers think the hurricane will go. Checking these lines makes me nervous, so I try not to do it too often. Once every six minutes is plenty. I root for the lines that have the hurricane going away from South Florida, but there’s always at least one line going straight toward me. If you zoom in really close, you see a little square at the end of this line labeled DAVE BARRY’S HOUSE. Sometimes I click on this line with my mouse and try to drag it out to sea, but evidently computer models don’t work that way." . . .

Luis Gutierrez could instigate civil war by calling on 11 million illegals to stand against the cancellation of DACA

I generally like to vet articles from places with "Patriot" in the name, but this video has some disturbing information in it. The left is winning the propaganda war by removing the term "illegal immigrant" and referring to just "immigrants", placing all in our history on the same plane. The premise is that everyone has the right to come to America and we have no right to refuse anyone. TD

Conservative Patriot  "The White House officially announced President Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals a.k.a. DACA, and in no sooner after the announcement was made did the liberals in this country assailed the President for his allegedly ‘cruel’ and ‘unfair’ decision.

"There’s nothing illegal, however, in opposing a person’s views, but the Left’s excessively critical rhetoric has proved to be a powerful weapon known to instigate violent racial protests and intolerance, adding fuel to the already aggravated racial relationship in the country.

“ 'How far will Donald Trump go to appease the racist white nationalists who got him elected to the White House?” said one liberal website, adding that Mr. Trump is making these decisions in order to “erase the legacy of the country’s first black president.”

"Now, Democratic Rep. for the state of Illinois Luiz Gutierrez has joined in upbraiding President Trump, calling on all who oppose such decisions to riot on the streets, boosting illegal immigrants to do whatever it takes to protect themselves from being repatriated." . . .
