This is all so sad, as I have been treated with nothing but kindness and friendliness by virtually every African-American I meet. Many, I believe are upset at the anger and violence being put forth in their name. Please help them be aware that our anger is directed at those who profit from racism. The Tunnel Dweller.

McKinney, our police and Al Sharpton
Emotional Toll of Police Work "In an earlier post I posed the question of why Eric Casebolt, the now–former police officer in McKinney, Texas, was alone among the officers at the infamous pool party who conducted himself unprofessionally. Now we may have an explanation. In a Wednesday press conference, Casebolt’s attorney, Jane Bishkin, revealed that prior to answering the call about the party, Casebolt had responded to two incidents that were especially trying. In the first of these, a man had committed suicide by shooting himself in the head in front of his children. Casebolt consoled the widow and assisted in photographing the body. And after that, he was called to a scene where a teenage girl was threatening to kill herself by jumping from the roof of her parents’ home. Casebolt calmed the girl and the situation was resolved successfully. “The nature of these two suicide calls took an emotional toll on Eric Casebolt,” Ms. Bishkin told reporters. “With all that had happened that day, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him.”
You can be sure Al Sharpton doesn't have days like this.
McKinney Residents Respond to Pool Party Incident… And It’s NOT What Al Sharpton Wanted
. . . "Because the liberal media sees everything through the prism of race, it naturally assumed that the black children who were accosted by the police were the victims.
Many local residents disagreed.
“This isn’t about race,” resident Bryan Gestner wrote on Facebook. “This is about outside kids invading our neighborhood and had no respect for authority or the residents here.”
“I feel absolutely horrible for the police and what’s going on,” an unidentified local homeowner told reporters. “They were completely outnumbered and they were just doing the right thing when these kids were fleeing and using profanity and threatening security guards.”
. . .
The residents of McKinney, Texas, certainly don’t blame [Officer Casebolt] or any of his peers, so perhaps we should follow their lead and give thanks where it’s due."
More on the McKinney Case. . . " Now take the scenario of the partygoers all being white and the police officer being black. Would people have automatically reached racial conclusions in this case? Yet the ironic thing here is that, according to statistics, black violence action against whites is far more likely to be racial in nature than white violence action against blacks. Yet, in these cases, many people go out of their way not to interpret such violence in racial terms." . . .
Guess Where Al Sharpton Is Headed… This Won’t End Well
. . . "Sharpton said he is considering holding a rally in McKinney as early as this weekend to demand that the officer who pulled the gun be fired."As his attorney said, Casebolt allowed his emotions to get the better of him, a lapse for which he has paid with the loss of his career and the prospect of an uncertain future. I don’t excuse his behavior, but I understand it better now than I did when I wrote about it earlier. I wish him well."

"Well, I’ll save him the trip- Officer Corporal Eric Casebolt has resigned and is now in hiding with his family due to threats from these blacks. His career is done. His life as he knew it is over. And that sucks."
The article goes on to tell us that some of Sharpton's followers are "threatening residents, vandalizing property, stealing cars, kicking in people’s doors and turning that nice community into hell." . . .

ARMY PROVIDES HONOR GUARD FOR GAY PRIDE PARADE: But Not Church Service
Doug Giles
"Everything is backwards in Obamaland.By Todd Starnes at FoxNews.com
"For nearly two decades, the U.S. Army has provided an honor guard for an Independence Day celebration at a Baptist church that predates the founding of the nation. But this year – that tradition has come to an end.
"While the Pentagon won’t allow an honor guard to set foot in a church, they have no problem allowing them to march in a gay pride parade." Read more: Fox News

"Officials at Fort Gordon say they will not be able to send an honor guard to a July 5th service at Abilene Baptist Church because it violates a military policy banning any involvement in a religious service.

Seinfeld to liberals: Stop the “creepy PC thing”
Legal Insurrection
"The day Caitlyn Jenner’s Vanity Fair cover was revealed, I made a joke about it. It wasn’t anything particularly crude or shocking, and it didn’t go any further than the mildest joke you would have seen on Twitter that day, but I still fielded text messages chewing me out for being “insensitive” and “transphobic” by chittering outrage squirrels who don’t understand what phobic means.
(Emphasis added.)
"People in general have accepted that for the most part, comedy comes from a dark place. It’s the knee-jerk reaction that you repress, but that the comedian packages and splatters on the wall for the world to see. That being said, even the world’s most popular creative talents are getting the sense that, when it comes to comedy, the general population would much rather not laugh at the expense of the bubble-wrapped classes that the left so jealously shields from criticism.
"On last night’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, comedian Jerry Seinfeld joined Seth and New Yorker editor David Remnick and unleashed on today’s PC culture that can’t even handle a lighthearted joke about social media that happens to have the word “gay” in it.
“There’s a creepy PC thing out there that really bothers me.”

"It’s not just the general PC crowd that has Seinfeld down. Earlier this week, he made waves after a radio interview in which he explained that college crowds have become all but impossible to play to. One supremely offended student even penned a response to Seinfeld’s sins, proving once and for all that Seinfeld is right, and social justice warriors have absolutely no sense of humor. (Click here to expose yourself to a college student using phrases like “appropriately sexist.”)
"I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Seinfeld’s rant is one of the more important recent developments in pop culture. It’s not enough for scrappy bloggers to rail against the PC establishment; we need big voices to fill the void, to stand up and say no to the outraged classes who are so dedicated to the idea of being outraged that they’ll move the goalposts in an effort to convince everyone that if they’re not offended, they should be.
"Saying no is all we can do—but if I can make people laugh while doing it, that’ll make the whole ordeal a lot more tolerable."
IMMIGRATION -- HEY, LOOK! A COP YELLING AT A BLACK GIRL IN A BIKINI!
Let's discuss the Clinton's integrity - Look! Cops trying to herd helpless children!
Bill Clinton...squirrel!
"How many thousands of news stories have there been on Ferguson, ISIS, Chris Christie's "Bridgegate" or men becoming women?
"But the media will never tell you about Mexicans gang-raping a lesbian in Richmond, California, an Indian immigrant in San Francisco importing 12-year-old girls he bought from their parents for sex, or three children being beheaded by Mexicans in Baltimore.
"Don't Americans have a right to know about the cultures flooding into our country?
"This isn't a natural transformation. It is purely the result of government policy. But our media don't care to discuss the issue. In fact, they get mad whenever Americans find out what they're doing with immigration.
"When Americans do think about immigration, they're against it. In polls earlier this year, more Americans had a favorable opinion of North Korea than wanted to increase immigration. That's why the media's approach to immigration is to never talk about it." . . .
Bill Clinton...squirrel!
If necessary, political and media elites will call you a "racist" for opposing their mass immigration policies. But they'd really rather that you just not find out what they're doing to the country.Ann Coulter "I'm impressed by the coolness and steadiness of our media in suppressing any news about immigration. It's as if they've built a triple-layer fence with border guards around immigration topics. And guess what? Their fence is working!

Then, of course, there is "chickification " . . .Guys have to give up some hours at work and spend the time at home so the wife can leave home and go out and climb the corporate ladder. It's always women, minorities, victims, hardest hit. No wonder men are happy. And, of course, the underlying theme of all this is, nobody's really happy. The country is so unfair; it's so rotten; it's so prejudiced; it's so bigoted; nobody is happy, and we're going to do a story on the CBS Evening News to tell you, even if you're happy, you shouldn't be happy, because there are so many people unhappy, and it's not right for you to be happy, if so many people, especially women, aren't happy. This is what passes for hard news on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. It's just very sad. It's just very sad to see a once-great institution like this be devoted to the chickification of the news." Rush Limbaugh.
What does Rush Limbaugh mean by the phrase "chickification of America"?
"Best Answer: It means that America is acting more and more feminine. The perception that America must be liked by other countries resulting in the castration of our military. Let the military do what they do...fight bad guys and protect us. Rush also sometimes uses it to describe how Americans have more and more dealt with our domestic policy. Instead of dealing with facts and statistics to set policy, we use what makes people FEEL good. If we would just look at the facts both here and in Iraq our political solutions would be totally different. If you compare our generation to the generation from World War II we do act like little girls." . . .

Don’t Let the Clintons Get Their Hands on the Ex-Im Bank Again
One candidate who is loving all the Jenner- McKinney coverage. But lets not take our eyes off the ball here.

"It should come as no surprise to anyone that Hillary Clinton is a strong supporter of reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank. The Ex-Im Bank is an agency where crony capitalism has flourished, and no one realized this faster than the Clintons. In the late 1990s, the bank was in the headlines regularly for the sort of shady pay-for-play allegations that have become synonymous with Clinton, Inc., and it became a textbook example of how Bill and Hillary work." . . .
Let’s Get The Race Party Started: New Black Panther Party Shows Up In McKinney
Downtrend
"Reporting by Truth Revolt reveals that the New Black Panther Party showed up in McKinney on Tuesday along with the Nation of Islam to set all the white people straight and fuel the already hot-as-fire racial tension in the area.
"Hundreds of demonstrators, including professional protester Deray McKesson, have already been busy protesting all over McKinney, demanding that justice be had.
"Just so you know, the main officer in question, Eric Casebolt, resigned on Tuesday. Furthermore, both Mayor Brian Loughmiller and Police Chief Greg Conley issued scathing statements against his behavior.
"Furthermore, the mayor “said that he’s sorry for what happened and that he had reached out to the kids involved to ask if any of them want to press charges against Casebolt.”
"The belief appears to be that Casebolt acted inappropriately when he tackled a 15-year-old girl to the ground. I personally have no comment on this.
"The greater point is that justice is being had right now as we speak, which means that all these pesky protesters — including the New Black Panther Party — have no reason whatsoever to be in McKinney right now." . . .
Strategy? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Strategy!

In 2008, Barack Obama promised to have all American troops out of Iraq by 2011. And by golly he was going to keep that promise, no matter the damage to U.S. national security interests.
"On Oct. 21, 2011, he had this to say: “I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end — for the sake of our national security and to strengthen American leadership. … After taking office, I announced a new strategy that would end our combat mission in Iraq and remove all of our troops by the end of 2011.”
By the end of December 2011, the only Americans remaining in Iraq were Marine guards at two embassies and 4,000 to 5,000 defense contractors.
"Top military officials expressed consternation because they sought a residual force of tens of thousands of American troops, arguing that was the only way to ensure continued stability won at enormous cost in blood and treasure.
"Commenting on Obama’s “strategy” last year, Fox News' Brit Hume quipped, “Obama has an interesting view on wars and how they end. Most presidents bring troops home when the war’s over. Obama thinks he can end wars by bringing troops home. In fact Obama seems to think leaving is winning.” . . . More...

Follow-up: What 'Seinfeld' can teach college students
The silliness of 21st century Western culture
. . . "College students today are just too politically correct.
"Worse, he says they don’t even understand the political things about which they are straining to be correct.
"They just want to use these words," he said. Like, "‘That’s racist;’ ‘That’s sexist;’ ‘That’s prejudice.’
"They don’t know what the f-k they’re talking about."
"He’s not alone. According to Cowherd, Larry the Cable Guy won’t play colleges, and Chris Rock has also said he doesn’t because everything there is taken as offensive.
"It’s an astute observation by Seinfeld, who made a career out of observational comedy ("Why do they call it a ‘building?’ It looks like they’re finished. Why isn’t it a ‘built’?")
"Indeed, it must be jarring for a boomer like Seinfeld, who went to college in the early 70s, when students were debating real issues freely, to confront today’s college campuses, where students often invent issues about which to be aggrieved, many times on behalf of other parties, and then have to find "free speech zones" in which to discuss them.
"Consider the uproar over a statue of a man talking to a woman at a Texas college, which some decided was a depiction of "mansplaining," or a man patronizingly explaining something to a woman. Paul Tadlock, the 79-year-old sculptor, said the piece — done for 20 years before its offense was "discovered" — merely depicted his daughter, a student at the time, talking to a friend." . . .
