Megyn Kelly: Why Is Obama Ignoring Murder Of Katie Steinle?

Real Clear Politics " FOX News' Megyn Kelly opened Thursday night's broadcast of her show with a monologue asking why President Obama and the White House won't give Katie Steinle, the woman killed by an illegal immigrant in San Francisco, the same attention it gave to cases involving Freddie Brown, Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin."

. . . "A stark contrast to what we saw after Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson. A man we know was attacking a police officer at the time of his death. His funeral saw three Obama officials in attendance, his death drew comments from President Obama personally and his administration also sent in the DOJ and 40 FBI agents dispatched to Missouri after Michael Brown was killed. Where is the swarm of agents in San Francisco?

"Then there was Freddie Gray in Baltimore, a repeat drug offender who was killed in police custody. Here again his funeral was attended by three Obama administration officials and again the President spoke personally to Freddie Gray's death. And again sent the DOJ in to investigate. When Trayvon Martin was killed in Florida, the president spoke to his death which was later ruled to be in self-defense. But Katie Steinle, nothing. No comments, no swarm of FBI agents, no DOJ investigation, nothing. Why?"

Mark Levin: We Are Under ‘Martial Law’ Already

Independent Sentinel

 

"The United States under this administration is currently not engaged in the pursuit of liberty or equality of opportunity, rather, ours is a country pursuing social engineering and redistribution to equalize the end results of every single thing that takes place.

"Barack Obama and his team are social engineering the nation into a utopian vision that has little relation to what our Founding Fathers foresaw when they developed our Constitution.

"Barack Obama is diversifying so-called wealthy neighborhoods seemingly without any authority to do so. He’s directly addressing the suburbs which he sees as white and privileged.

"He believes there is one pot of resources and the suburbs are stealing them from the urban areas. He seeks to remedy that and equalize all resources.

"The standard the left is using to end discrimination is based on the end result not the intentions. They want equal outcomes in other words.

"The mainstream media has been largely silent on the issue. Obama can do anything he wants and few with a megaphone question any of his actions." . . .

Fight The Power: Bold White Man Launches Petition To Change “Cracker Barrel” To “Caucasian Barrel”

Downtrend

 

"Ryan Koch, a bold white man from Des Moines, Iowa, launched a petition this week to change the name of the “Cracker Barrel” restaurant to “Caucasian Barrel,” because as Koch astutely wrote, “white people should have something to be offended by too!”

“ 'I say all of us European Americans start protesting Cracker Barrel,” the resolute champion for equality wrote on his Change.org petition. “It uses an offensive slur and it is deeply offensive and mocks our long and proud heritage”:

The name is offensive, their logo stereotypes European Americans as people who sit on chairs and lean against what appears to be a bourbon barrel, claiming we are all a bunch of alcoholics. Sure, they’ll SAY it’s a “cracker” barrel but everyone knows crackers don’t come in barrels, they come in bags and boxes!

"Indeed, Mr. Koch. Indeed!

"Like Young Conservatives contributor Yehuda Remer wrote, this petition is “hilariously awesome” because it does a great job mocking the race baiters." . . .

Hillary Clinton's Blizzard of Lies, The Sequel  . . . " New York Times columnist Bill Safire must be rolling in his grave. A 1996 essay of his, "Blizzard of Lies," began, "Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our first lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation — is a congenital liar." . . .

Jonah Goldberg*; NRO: Estrangement From the Truth Is a Problem for Hillary

. . . "But Bernstein is right about one thing: Hillary is a specialist at lying. And that’s a problem for her. Her husband was — and is — a prodigy at deceit, a renaissance man of lying. If football were a game of lies, he could play every position on offense and defense.

"Mrs. Clinton, alas, is more like a veteran coach — she’s adept at telling others how to lie on her behalf. But she’s not a natural liar herself, and it shows. At a time when the Democratic base craves authenticity (hence the mobs at Bernie Sanders rallies), Clinton seems utterly fabricated (hence her inability to get a capacity crowd at her announcement speech last month in New York City). Her best hope now would be to stop pandering to Sanders’s fans and instead explain where she and Sanders differ on policy. But that would require a level of political authenticity she’s forgotten how to fake convincingly."

* Goldberg is the opinion writer that Trump said can't buy a pair of pants. To wit:

 "[Trump is] repeating himself. I'm like Jeb on this. I'm done. The man's specialty [is] to suck oxygen, I'm going to be breathing fresh air... And I do want to make an appeal to the viewers out there to crowdsource, to buy Jonah a pair of pants. I think if you look under the table it's disgraceful the way he comes to the show."  Ann Althouse, quoting Charles Krauthammer

About that subpoena…Hillary’s CNN interview gets the Trey Gowdy fact check treatment

 Hillary Clinton told CNN Tuesday she was never subpoenaed to testify on Benghazi. One hour later, House Republicans produced the subpoena they sent her to testify about Benghazi. Democrats won the argument, saying it's just like Republicans to make fun of a woman who suffered a head injury.  Comedian Argus Hamilton

Legal Insurrection. . . “You know you’re starting with so many assumptions that are, I’ve never had a subpoena, there is no, again, let’s take a deep breath here,” said Mrs. Clinton, obviously rattled and speaking to herself.

Dems File Bill Banning Words “Husband” And “Wife” From U.S. Laws… Are you beginning to fear this Democrat party?

Weasel Zippers

 

More than two dozen Democrats have proposed legislation that would eliminate the words “husband” and “wife” from federal law.

Those “gendered terms” would be replaced by “gender-neutral” words like “spouse” or “married couple,” according to the bill from Rep. Lois Capps, D-Calif.

“The Amend the Code for Marriage Equality Act recognizes that the words in our laws have meaning and can continue to reflect prejudice and discrimination even when rendered null by our highest courts,” Capps said. “Our values as a country are reflected in our laws. I authored this bill because it is imperative that our federal code reflect the equality of all marriages.”

Immigration Policy, Mexican Style

American Thinker. . . "Meanwhile, Trump is being vindicated on a daily basis.  A young woman murdered in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant previously deported five times.  Another illegal alien from Mexico, who was deported last year, killed and burned a Washington woman and her son.  Over four thousand illegal alien pedophiles were apprehended in one state in one year.  And another illegal immigrant raping and sodomizing a 10-year-old Alabama girl.  Are these Mexico’s best and brightest coming to America to do the jobs Americans won’t do?

"Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush “has always had strong ties with Mexico” and “great respect and affection for our neighbors.”  Jeb is also “indignant,” as “he takes Donald Trump’s remarks personally.”  So here’s an idea.  Let’s reform our immigration system Mexican style.  This is how it might look based on Mexican immigration law." . . .

Hillary News Roundup

"Hillary told CNN she’s not running for president of the press. She’s running for president of the American People. Hopefully that means she won’t roundup the rest of us with ropes when she speaks.

Who Will Pay For Hillary’s Era of Big Government?. . . "But, influenced by the shift to the left in her party’s base, Clinton is also offering a rather ambitious agenda for the nation. Like the similar yet even more radical proposals put forward by her chief Democratic rival, Senator Bernie Sanders, the Clinton plan for America is offering a lot of free things as well as traditional liberal talking points. But the problem with all this free stuff is, of course, that is not free to the taxpayers who will be required to pay for it." . . .

Uber Leftist actor and activist George Takei, known for his role as Hikaru Sulu in “Star Trek,” said that he and his husband are “overjoyed” by the Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage. But his shocking comments about conservative Justice Clarence Thomas were just over the rainbow on this one:

“ 'He is a clown in blackface sitting on the Supreme Court. He gets me that angry,” Takei said, visibly flustered as he railed against the African American justice. ”For him to say slaves had dignity … I mean, doesn’t he know slaves were chained? That they were whipped on the back?”

"Takei shows his idiocy in all its glory here. He was railing against Thomas’ dissent on the gay marriage ruling:" . . .
