CNN's April Ryan SLAMMED for Tweeting Article About Trump Running CHILD TRAFFICKING RING

Is CNN capable of embarrassment even just a teeny bit?

Socio-Political Journal

CNN contributor April Ryan is being criticized for alerting her 336,000 Twitter followers to a story in The Root* that asks if the Trump administration is involved in child sex-trafficking.

Among those condemning Ryan for the tweet is first lady Melania Trump’s spokeswoman.

“If you’re a journalist w many followers & a @CNNPolitics contributor...is it ok to retweet any headline you want, regardless of if it’s true?” Stephanie Grisham asked on Twitter.

“Remember: 'The core purpose of a journalist is to research, document, write, & present the news in an honest, ethical, & unbiased way.'”

. . . “This is a horrid excuse for journalism,” Carmine Sabia tweeted. “To quasi accuse the president of the United States of running a child trafficking ring is low even for her.”

“ 'Case solved,” Michael Sheridan tweeted. He pointed out that The Root is owned by Univision, whose president and CEO criticized Trump during the presidential campaign." . . .

*Univision Anchor: Trump Wants to Keep America White

. . . Unsurprisingly, soundbites for Gato's report, clearly meant to scare Hispanics into thinking Trump is on track to "Make America White Again," were compliments of an immigration lawyer and Democratic strategist, with no opposing rebuttal given.
Univision's survival depends on Hispanics -- largely those from Mexico -- who rely on Spanish-speaking content. To maintain that status quo, Univision needs to push an us-versus-them narrative. The truth becomes collateral damage." . . .

A President Clinton would have made things much worse

Our Lady of the Perpetual Snit

NY Post

Anyone who has dealt with her knows the “I’m a victim” shtick didn’t start with November 2016, and would not have ended if she had won. She’s been a blamer and finger-pointer her entire public life and would have taken her woe-is-me attitude to the Oval ­Office.

. . . "In economic terms, how much higher would unemployment be? How about the stock market and median family incomes — how much lower would they be?

"Remember, Clinton promised — promised! — to put coal miners out of work. That’s a promise she probably would have kept.

"She wanted to raise taxes instead of cutting them and loosen already lax immigration policies instead of tightening them.

"She was part of President Barack Obama’s team that tried to force Israel to make concessions its leaders believed were dangerous to the Jewish state’s security. It’s a cinch the US Embassy still would be in Tel Aviv instead of Jerusalem and Palestinians would have kept a veto over our policy.

"The Iran deal would be unmolested by a Clinton presidency, leaving the mullahs free to be ever more aggressive in their pursuit of regional power." . . .

‘Kick Me’ No More

National Review

. . . "Indeed, how many of these widely accepted (sometimes downright cherished) assumptions can one man challenge (disrupt) in such a brief period of time? The answer is plenty. He does it by questioning what often goes unquestioned in Washington, D.C. He simply asks “Why?” Why help fund a Shiite crescent in the Middle East? Why send tax dollars to a terrorist-friendly PLO? Why support anti-American programs at the U.N.? Why a “One China” policy? Why placate deadbeat NATO partners? Why pay premium prices for the F-35 and a new Air Force One? Why force nuns to provide birth-control coverage? Why tolerate sanctuary cities and a porous border?

"Similarly, Mr. Trump asks, “Why not?” Why not support nascent democratic movements in Iran? Why not revisit aging trade deals? Why not activate the Congressional Review Act? Why not count everyone in the census? Why not energy independence? Why not move the embassy to Jerusalem? Why not say “Merry Christmas”?" . . .

Obama’s spying scandal is starting to look a lot like Watergate

Michael Barone  “F.B.I. Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims,” read the headline on a lengthy New York Times story May 18. “The Justice Department used a suspected informant to probe whether Trump campaign aides were making improper contacts with Russia in 2016,” read a story in the May 21 edition of the Wall Street Journal.

"So much for those who dismissed charges of Obama administration infiltration of Donald Trump’s campaign as paranoid fantasy. Defenders of the Obama intelligence and law enforcement apparat have had to fall back on the argument that this infiltration was for Trump’s — and the nation’s — own good.

"It’s an argument that evidently didn’t occur to Richard Nixon’s defenders when it became clear that Nixon operatives had burglarized and wiretapped the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters in June 1972." . . . 

How to Fail Today's Starbucks Racial Sensitivity Training

American Thinker  . . . "That is happening today: every Starbucks in America is closed.

"This may be the biggest, but it is hardly the first seminar in America where white people have to learn more about their evil racist ways.  Over the last several years, more than 100,000 teachers have gone through the same kind of training to learn how much white people suck.

"In most schools, it begins with an invitation to have a "Courageous Conversation" about race.  Within a few minutes, the white teachers learn they must be courageous enough to admit their own racism and how it is responsible for so much black dysfunction in America.

"Tip for the soon to be enlightened 177,000: If you want to keep your job and think you are not racist, don't let anyone know about it, or you will meet the same fate as the teachers who said the same thing in their seminars.  They get fired.

"So there is no conversation – just monologue.  This is too bad, because as your average befuddled white guy, there are so many questions I want to ask, yet so few answers.

" we will hear about some of them on the MSNBC special about "Everyday Racism," broadcast the same night as the re-education of the 177,000.  How about a few quick ones?

"Chicago was forced to pay $22.5 million for its role in a group of black people tossing a young white woman out of a tall building.  A Harvard sociologist told the judge and jury that anytime a white person is in a black neighborhood, he can expect to experience Routine Activity Theory – i.e., black people routinely visit violence on white people.

"The judge made it part of his ruling." . . .

Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam and friend of Maxine Waters, called for an end to white men on Sunday morning, saying that their “nature is not in harmony with the nature of God.”

Do we REALLY want Democrats running our nation?

Gun control activist David Hogg calls for perpetual trolling of Trump

. . . "Mr. Hogg had another idea to troll the president, apparently inspired by his success last week against Publix grocery chain.“ 'So when are we doing a die-in at Trump Hotel?” he wrote."The gun control issue is complicated though. A president does not have the legal power to raise the various federal weapons-purchase ages, which are set by law and also regulated by states anyway." . . .

Media, Former Obama Officials Use Pictures From 2014, 2016 to Attack Trump on Immigration

. . . "WHOOPS! Liberals and former President Barack Obama officials stormed to Twitter to expose how immigrant children in detention facilities sleep in cages and on the floors under President Donald Trump.

"One problem. These photos come from stories published in 2014 and 2016…when Obama was president." . . .

Portland Bar Hosted ‘Reparations Happy Hour’

. . . "Brown Hope, a local activist organization, wanted the event, which was held on Monday, to be a space for people of color in a mostly white city to meet one another, discuss policy issues and plan potential action.

"While it was far from the full-scale reparations sought by some as penance for the horrors of slavery and continuing racial injustice, Cameron Whitten, the 27-year-old activist who organized the event, said there was one similarity: It made attendees feel as if their pain were valued and understood.

“ 'It was only $10, but when I saw them I saw their eyes light up,” he said. “What I saw there was that people felt like they were finally seen.”

"Mr. Whitten said he hoped the event, in addition to building community, would call attention to reparations, the concept that black people should be financially compensated for the generations of trauma that preceded them." . . .
