How Illegal Immigration Finally Turned Off the Public

"Pope Francis will go on ABC 20/20 and grant a virtual audience to poor Americans via satellite this Friday night. One of the pope’s groups will be Hispanic migrants in a South Texas church. They’re the only Texans who won’t be at a stadium worshipping high school football during the telecast."  Comedian Argus Hamilton

Victor Davis Hanson: How Illegal Immigration Finally Turned Off the Public                                "If there were not a Donald Trump, he would likely have had to have been invented." 

"Why did the illegal-immigration issue launch Donald Trump’s campaign? Why did his recent tense press conference exchange with Univision’s Jorge Ramos please even some of Trump’s liberal critics? What is it about illegal immigration that has finally turned off so many Americans?"

. . . 
" It is alleged that Donald Trump is a demagogue who whips the ignorant up. Perhaps. But on matters of immigration he came late and often in antithesis to his own former positions. The truth is that the illegal-immigration lobby was its own worst enemy, its message couched in racism, illegality, untruth — and finally incoherence.  People tired of being called racists by racial chauvinists, of being dubbed insensitive by unfeeling opportunists, and of being called politically naive by political manipulators."

Report: Cop-killer emoji appears in Houston after murder of police officer

Joe Newby

 

This stenciled graffiti of a gun pointed at an officer's head is appearing in Houston, Texas, where Harris County Deputy Sheriff Darren Goforth was murdered execution-style.


"On Tuesday, Houston ABC affiliate KTRK reported that it has spotted disturbing anti-cop graffiti stenciled in at least four places around the city in the wake of the murder of Harris County Deputy Sheriff Darren Goforth. Others have reported seeing it as well. The graffiti consists of a gun pointing at the head of a police officer.

" 'I can't believe that there are people out there so heartless and so ruthless to put something on there before this deputy is even buried," HPD Union President Ray Hunt told KTRK. "It does nothing to help to help morale in the police department and does nothing to help the Goforth family."

"Fox 26 reporter Angela Chen said that at least one business has covered the graffiti up. In something of an understatement, Chen said the stenciled graffiti is "a horrific thing to see, especially for the children and family of slain police officers." In a tweet, she also cited police who said the graffiti is the work of someone stirring the pot." . . .

Obama pander update: Is 'Tejas' next on the pandering checklist?

 

Silvio Canto, Jr.  "A new poll shows that 71% of Americans are unhappy with the direction of the country.  
President Obama's overall job approval is 44.7% at RCP but 39% on foreign policy.  Obamacare is at 40%, and the Iran nuclear deal is a very tough sell.

"Our "let me pander to distract you from my lousy record" President Obama has done it again.  

"He is now changing the name of Mt. McKinley to Mt. Denali:"
. . . 

"He couldn't even get 60 Democrat senators to pass immigration reform, gun control, climate change, or the DREAM Act!  So he writes an executive order legalizing people or issues or EPA rules without regard for Congress.

"Is Texas next?  Will he soon rename Texas "Tejas"?  Why not?  Get ready for "Nuevo Mejico"!  

"He's gotta get a lot of disillusioned Hispanics interested in the Clinton or Biden campaign.  So it's time to pander!

RUSH LIMBAUGH PREDICTED IN 2008 That Race Relations Would WORSEN UNDER OBAMA

Progressives Today

 

"Look at what’s happened to race relations under Obama. In the run-up to the 2008 election, many liberals claimed that electing Obama would bring racial healing to America but Rush Limbaugh correctly predicted that Obama would make things worse.

"How right he was.

"We haven’t located the audio but here’s a transcript from Rush’s website in 2013 where he talked about his 2008 predictions:" :

"As Predicted, Race Relations in America Have Worsened Since Obama's Election"

. . . Let us fast forward to January of 2009.
"Obama has been inaugurated president and he proposes his first bit of legislation. Let's say that it's -- I don't know -- some civil rights-oriented thing, and a bunch of people start howling. You know that the race industry can't wait for this. Any criticism of Obama, the first black president, is going to be met with charges of racism by the likes of the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton. It will make their race business all that much more prominent.
"RUSH:  The point is that back in 2008, I predicted that Obama's election would not ameliorate race problems. It would not eliminate them. It would not remove from this country the tag of racism and slavery and racism and prejudice; it would exacerbate it, because no criticism of Obama would be permitted.  Any criticism of Obama would be called racism, and I predicted it would probably get worse." . . .

What The Left And Right Don’t Get About Campus Rape

The Federalist

 

College campuses, like the rest of American society, are struggling to contain the wreckage of the sexual revolution. That’s what both the Left and Right don’t get about the ‘campus rape epidemic.’

. . . "Common sense and about 5,000 years of human experience suggest that women keep themselves as safe as possible, mindful that they are the smaller and weaker sex, that some men are not gentlemen, and that even seemingly nice men can behave badly when drunk. They might also want to consider that their own judgment will be impaired by alcohol. Such simple truths were conveyed from mothers to daughters for eons. As Camille Paglia wrote in “Sex, Art, and American Culture”:

Feminism keeps . . . telling women that they can do anything, go anywhere, say anything, wear anything. No, they can’t. Women will always be in sexual danger . . . Feminism, with its pie-in-the-sky fantasies about the perfect world, keeps young women from seeing life as it is.

. . . 
" The truth from which our society has been fleeing for half a century is not really so awful. There are differences between men and women, particularly in what they want and need from sex. Ungoverned sexuality can degenerate into degradation and abuse all too easily. Love and tenderness really are the best routes to happiness. Women have it within their power to reject the hook up culture and insist upon a return to dating. Such a turn would be a boon to everyone—but most of all to themselves."

Don't change the maps yet! Donald Trump says he'll RE-rename 'Denali' back to Mt. McKinley if he's elected president

Daily Mail  "There will be no Denali in a Donald Trump presidency, the billionaire promised on Monday, saying that he will restore the century-old name of Mount McKinley to America's highest peak if he wins the White House.

" 'President Obama wants to change the name of Mt. McKinley to Denali after more than 100 years,' Trump tweeted, saying it was a '[g]reat insult to Ohio' where the late President William McKinley hailed from.

" 'I will change [it] back!' he pledged.

RACIST TO THE CORE: Black Man Calls On President to Denounce #BlackLivesMatter

 This post will give you a perspective on the main article on down:

Flashback: Farrakhan Said “Stalk Them and Kill Them”

"It’s been over a month since Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan called on his followers to rise up and kill their enemies, and the silence of the Obama Justice Department has been deafening."

Clash Daily  "A black man in Texas has something to say about the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and you’re going to want to hear this.

"As race-war agitators are ramping up their efforts nationwide, violence is skyrocketing. Did you read the story about Texas Deputy Sheriff Darren Goforth? He was executed by a black man in a gas station this past weekend. You can expect to hear stories like this more often.

"But don’t assume every black person in the United States is on board with this—nothing could be further from the truth! You’ll be interested to hear what this man, in particular, had to say.
Joe Evans is the former vice chair and executive director of the Jefferson County Republican Party in Texas, and he is currently running for Jefferson County Commissioner. And he has his head on straight.

"Upon hearing about Deputy Goforth’s murder, Evans posted a video response online. Make sure you watch the video to hear his one-minute message for yourself. Once you do, you’ll completely understand why the video has gone viral!

"Courageously reproving those who try to blame Goforth’s murder on gun rights, Evans quickly turns the tables:

We edge closer to nuclear war and this president renames a mountain

Renaming Mount McKinley Obama's Insult To Competence " President Obama says he's changing the name of Alaska's Mt. McKinley to Denali. Given President McKinley's record on racial healing, fiscal discipline, global power and disaster response, Obama's got some timing.

"Ohioans were right to take President Obama's unilateral changing of the name of the 20,200-foot peak to Mount Denali as an insult.

President Barack Obama will change the name of Mount McKinley, the top of which is the country's highest point, back to its traditional Alaskan title, Denali.

"Denali comes from the indigenous Athabaskan language and means 'high one', also the name of the national park surrounding the mountain. 

"Russian settlers in the region called it Bolshaya Gora, or 'big mountain', before Alaska was sold to the US in 1867. "

 McKinley’s Greatest Monument   "It’s a mystery to us where President Obama or his interior secretary, Sally Jewell, gets the authority to rename in Alaska a mountain whose name was ratified by Congress a century ago as McKinley. We can understand the Democratic Party’s interest, in that McKinley, a Republican, was a particularly fine President. He was, moreover, one of four presidents felled by an assassin. We can understand, too, the sentiments of Alaska, whose legislature has wanted to change the name. Where, though, does the president come off doing this by fiat?
. . . 
 "Maybe some day a Republican president will restore to John Fitzgerald Kennedy International Airport the name of Idlewild, which is the name us native New Yorkers use for the airport (Idlewild is still a permitted reference for the airport in the “Reporters Handbook and Manual of Style of the New York Sun”). We could see the logic of it in an age of hyper-sensitivity to local sentiments. But we would object were a president to simply rename the airport after Congress had been asked and decided not to act." . . .

Officers' Letter to Congress on Iran Deal Is Not a One-Day Story

"Out of respect to their experience, expertise, service, and commitment, we owe them a serious hearing.
"This is not a one-day PR story.  It is a profound and critical moment in our nation's history.  Every concerned citizen needs to read and share the letter with others.  This is urgent.  There is not a moment to be lost.
"Military officers use understated language in public, but I can be blunt.
"Here is my blunt summary of their letter:

 

American Thinker   "The most dangerous presidency in American history is now rushing to its climax.  This is the lethal moment that Bush and Cheney warned us about – the catastrophic moment when a fanatical Armageddon regime in Tehran will be guaranteed a path to nuclear weapons.  Some military experts are convinced they already have them.

"The Bush administration made many mistakes, but it was absolutely on target about the danger of terrorists armed with nukes.  For rational actors, nuclear weapons are a last-ditch defense, because in a nuclear exchange, everybody loses.  Irrational and suicide-preaching regimes are different, just as Jim Jones was different from your Junior League Club.

"Today, Obama actually wants to give the most destructive weapons in the world to Iran's genocidal regime.
He has simply switched sides." . . . 

 "Military officers save their bluntest language for private  conversations, and they should.

"But please be aware that in the eight points above, almost 200 retired flag officers of the United States have essentially accused American politicians and high officials of treason, as defined by the U.S. Constitution as "aiding and abetting" the enemies of the United States in time of war (US Constitution, Article III, Section 3).

"They came as close as possible without actually using the word." Read more

Time to resurrect 'Un-American Activities'?

James Longstreet  . . . "I was piqued by Jorge Ramos and his apparent pride in being an American citizen, yet also seemingly having a warm spot for his former employer La Raza and groups that cheer the “reconquest” of the American Southwest by citizens of a foreign nation.  Imagine any immigrant from another country promoting a takeover of another section of our nation.  “For what purpose” is the question that leaps to mind. 

"These groups are engaged in activities that could be termed “un-American” by some, or maybe by many.  There are other activities, upon examination, that might just qualify for “un-American.”

"Encouraging the creation of “sanctuary cities” is nothing more than creating a shelter within the borders of our country and contrary to the law of the nation.  Is it not un-American to encourage the violation of the laws of the country, and is it not geometrically a greater un-American activity when the persons doing so are federal officials sworn to an oath contrary to their actions?" . . .

What GOP Can Learn From Trump: Straight Talk, Common Sense

"The two signature legislative reform laws that the Democrats passed during the Obama years — ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank — have failed."

 

Investor's Business Daily   "Instead of wringing their hands about Donald Trump's intrusion and romp through their party, Republican candidates serious about leading America in the 21st century should take some cues and cards from the Trump hand and see if they can raise him on policy substance.

"Trump may be brash and inconsistent with some conservative values. But his candor about making America great again has enormous appeal, and his straight talk wins accolades and distinguishes him from the political class.

"Perhaps most importantly, Trump's natural disposition and ready willingness to break out of the straitjacket of political correctness is as refreshing as it is overdue and vital to redirect national priorities.

"The very concept of making America great is now foreign to a Democratic Party obsessed with race, gender and class identity, equal outcomes and expanding entitlement programs. This, together with the Democrats' lack of new ideas on creating jobs and growing the economy, provide an opening that Republicans ought to be able to drive a truck through." . .
