Limbaugh Predicts Summer of Violence Will Scorch Political Conventions

Just Wait for the Conventions, Because This Violence Is Not Over

"... this is not the end of anything ..."

Western Journalism  "The violence that left Dallas reeling in horror and America in shock has not yet reached its crescendo, talk show host Rush Limbaugh warned Friday.

“ 'I think everybody better come to grips with the fact that this is not the end of anything here,” Limbaugh said, saying the prediction was one he would rather see not happen, “but it’s going to happen anyway at this point.”

“ '.. the next target is going to be the Republican National Convention. And then possibly after that the next target the Democrat National Convention, because there’s going to be huge numbers of people in both places and there’s going to be lots of cameras.  And the media is going to be both places,” Limbaugh said, referencing the way that demonstrations in Chicago in 1968 utterly disrupted the Democratic National Convention and ultimately subsumed the convention narrative." . . .

Of course, Mr. Farrakhan made this pronouncement before Dallas:

"The Blaze posted some of what Farrakhan said:

“When you are willing and not afraid anymore to pay the price for freedom — don’t let this white man tell you that violence is wrong,” Farrakhan said. “Every damn thing that he got, he got it by being violent — killing people, raping and robbing and murdering. He’s doing it as we speak, and then he has the nerve to come and tell us that violence and hatred won’t get it. Don’t buy that!”

Speaking about white people as one entity, Farrakhan proclaimed, “He is worthy to be hated.” He also claimed that “God hates,” and man is no better than God.

"Steven H. Ahle noted: “Just hours before five police officers were killed and six more injured, noted racist posted a racist rant on social media calling for violence against whites.  You may remember that Obama and his church bestowed a lifetime achievement award to Farrakhan.”

"No wonder ISIS and al Qaeda celebrated the shootings while calling for more attacks…"

Emphasis mine, TD

Americans Scoff At Obama’s Plan To Visit Dallas In Wake of Tragedy

Talk Stupidly and Carry a Big Mouth

Western Journalism   "President Barack Obama’s decision to cut short his European trip to visit Dallas, where five police officers were killed Thursday night, failed to provide the positive reaction for which the president might have hoped.

“He’ll just continue to divide on racial grounds,” John S. Roberts wrote on Young Conservatives.

"Many voices on Twitter agreed that Obama’s visit was too little too late."
Tweets:

William Griffin @CramRenraff

@AP That's rich; the man whose rhetoric helped spawn the terrorists is going to go to Dallas so he can talk about gun control.

Jenny @Jenny_IDLYITW

.@AP And will require the very law enforcement he helped become targets of #BLM domestic terrorists to protect him... with guns.

The Dallas Massacre

Victor Davis Hanson  . . . "Meanwhile, Minnesota governor Mark Dayton blamed Castile’s shooting partly on “racism,” and President Obama decried “racial disparity in the justice system.” Events in Ferguson and Baltimore, where the facts did not support the instant Black Lives Matter narrative, have shown the imprudence of these sorts of knee-jerk pronouncements."
. . .
"In fact, the Dallas Police Department has evidently been a model for police reform. Excessive-force complaints against the department dropped by 64 percent between 2009 and 2014, and arrests and officer-involved shootings also declined, in tandem with a decline in the city’s murder rate, which reached an 80-year low in 2014."

Republicans slam grinning Obama for politicizing Dallas police massacre as he laughs his way through NATO summit

UK Daily Mail

• "President Barack Obama cheerfully yukked it up with British Prime Minister David Cameron during the NATO summit in Poland while Americans remained in shock after the murders of five police officers overnight 
• "Dr. Ben Carson carped at him for defaulting to gun control arguments
• "Texas Rep. Pete Sessions, whose district includes parts of the Dallas metroplex, complained that Obama was MIA while the nation mourned
• "Former Gov. Mike Huckabee dismissed Obama as a wedge-issue divider for pushing gun control 'at a time of great grief'
• "National Association of Police Organizations chief said there is 'a war on cops, and the Obama administration is the Neville Chamberlain of this war'. "

Remember that Mr. Chamberlain finally had his red line and declared war on Hitler over his invasion of Poland.

Chuck Todd: Tough to Train ‘Prejudice and Hate’ Out of Police Hearts

"Are Police ‘Prejudice and Hate’ Really the Central Problem, Chuck?"

What else can Chuck say with the master race pimp Al Sharpton sitting by him? 
Oh, as long as we are speaking of Sharpton and the grievance industry:

A Manufactured Divide Ends In, ‘I Want to Kill White People’

"The racial divide in this country, as it exists today, is completely manufactured. It is manufactured by the political and activist class, and for reasons symbiotic to one another.

"Politicians need to divide our nation so as to pit demographic against demographic; in order to create political party “battle lines.” This is how they create an “us against them” scenario. True Statesmen and public servants seek to better the nation in ways that are good for all of the population, not just a sympathetic demographic. That does not exist in our country today. True government of and for the people is dead.

"Activists – mostly products of the victimhood and grievance class – need to divide to define special interest demographics, again to pit “us against them.” It is how they attain power and influence, as well as wealth for their “movements.” This is serious wealth. One need only look at the personal trappings of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to understand this." . . .

Hillary plays the race card on Dallas police massacre  "Hillary Clinton has crafted her response to the slaughter of Dallas policemen to exploit racial resentment and shore up her support among African Americans. She needs Obama-levels of turnout and grab about 92% of the votes in order to win. She has had trouble whipping up enthusiasm among all demographic slices of the electorate, but apparently sees black anger at whites as just the thing to motivate voters to turn out, and to quiz their friends, family and neighbors if they have voted on Election Day.

"So Hillary is in effect telling White voters that Dallas is their fault." . . .

Colion Noir on How Not to Fix Inner City Gun Violence
“All these anti-gun politicians have to offer is gun control.”

It’s Hard Not to Politicize Such a Horrible Tragedy  . . . "What’s most maddening are the voices who not only exploit the double standard but attempt to institutionalize it. CNN commentator Sally Kohn can be counted on to offer the least logical, least consistent responses to breaking news on television; everything that happens in the world is further evidence that her political allies are good and her political opponents are bad. She did not disappoint today:"  Read more.

What actor Wil Wheaton tweeted during the Dallas shooting will make your head explode
. . . You want to know what the protestors at the scene were doing while partisan hacks were using keyboards as hate weapons? Thanking the Dallas Police Department for serving them and protecting them, even as their brother and sisters in blue lay dying on the streets." . . . 

Liberalism, as I’ve said time and again, is an ideology of rage and hate.  Unfortunately, liberals like Wheaton prove that assertion correct on just about any given day."

Meet the Leftist Reverend Behind the Dallas 
Black Lives Matter Protest  "The lead organizer of the Dallas protest where snipers opened fire on police officers has made several disturbing comments on his social media. A Breitbart News review of Jeff Hood’s internet footprint revealed regular posts about the apocalypse, violent retribution to police, and Hood even recently posted about the 2013 death of a self proclaimed “social justice warrior” who committed suicide by lighting himself on fire in front of a shopping mall in Texas."

FBI chief’s testimony about Clinton emails torpedoes the bureau’s reputation

Judicial Watch  "There is the bipartisan pretense that the FBI is the only government agency in Washington that is above reproach. Yet, this is the agency that collaborated with Lois Lerner and the IRS in an effort to criminally prosecute opponents of Barack Obama. Then, unsurprisingly, this same FBI (and Justice Department) found nothing worth prosecuting in their own blatant malfeasance.

"Again, this is the same FBI whose Keystone Cops approach to counter-terrorism failed to prevent eminently preventable terrorist acts ranging from the Boston Marathon bombing to the Orlando massacre. In fact, we now know that an FBI supervisor actually told one Florida police department investigating Omar Mateen, “We do NOT believe he is a terrorist” [Emphasis in original]

"How does an agency with this sort of record escape accountability? Quite simply, by doing favors for the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. It is to politicians like Clinton and Obama that men such as Comey owe their jobs – and agencies such as the FBI owe their budgets. And so, they are subservient." . . .

Krauthammer: Comey failed to indict because he didn't want to 'change the course of American political history'

"Charles Krauthammer told viewers Thursday on “Special Report with Bret Baier” that FBI director James Comey decided not to prosecute Hillary Clinton because he “didn't want to be remembered as the guy who changed the course of American political history.” 

" 'She would have been out of the race. The entire campaign would have been upended," the syndicated columnist said. "And to me, it's a bit like and I’ve spoken about this before, Chief Justice Roberts in deciding on Obamacare.' " . . .

Marine officer wants same treatment as Hillary Clinton  "A U.S. Marine officer facing involuntary discharge for improperly handling classified information is hoping to receive the same lenient treatment the FBI recommended for former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

"Maj. Jason Brezler has been embroiled in a legal battle since December 2014. Brezler is facing an involuntary discharge from the service after he admitted sending classified information to an unclassified email address in 2012. He was trying to warn fellow Marines about a corrupt police chief in Afghanistan. Several weeks later, a deputy of that police chief killed three Marines in a rifle attack.

"An internal review in 2013 recommended that Brezler be removed from the service for possessing classified material, a decision that remains under appeal. However, both the Marine Corps and the Navy Department have already upheld the initial recommendation." . . .

“This is the special exception for the Clintons.”

NRO: The FBI Says ‘Reasonable Prosecutors’ Wouldn’t Charge Hillary — Meet Some Who Disagree

“If she didn’t know that the intelligence she was receiving was or should be classified, she is far too stupid to be president, and in any event, her security clearance should be permanently withdrawn.”

"Rudy Giuliani worries that Comey handcuffed himself when he let Hillary off the hook. “I don’t know how he ever, ever, is going to be able to charge anybody in the CIA or FBI that is extremely careless with top-secret information, if he isn’t charging Hillary Clinton,” Giuliani said. “This is the special exception for the Clintons.' ”

Comey and the Expansion of Cynicism  . . . "He willfully ignored the clear words of the relevant law. Comey is not a fool. He opted for deception. In doing so, he caused the cynicism with which most people now treat the highest ranks of the political apparatus to grow. Going forward, dishonesty will now be priced into James Comey, and probably the agency he supervises. An institution that commanded credibility in the eyes of most ordinary people now stinks of corruption."

"Hillary Clinton was cleared by the FBI Director for relaying top secret material on her home server Tuesday but he spent ten minutes listing everything she did illegally. Just two hours later, Hillary was greeted by a huge ovation at her North Carolina rally. She arrived in a slow white Bronco." Comedian Argus Hamilton

 Do You Think Hillary’s HAPPY The Spotlight’s On #Dallas And Not #EmailGate?  "Hillary calls on whites to change their ways..."

Comey and the Will to Power  . . . "Ms. Clinton is not only incompetent, she is thoroughly unqualified to be President.   It is quite possible that her cavalier attitude toward cyber security got Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith killed in Benghazi.  It is likely as well that her dithering about how to spin the terrorist disaster while it was underway led to the deaths of Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, who could have been saved had the State Department not worried about how their potential rescuers were dressed!   This is what mendacity combined with ineptness looks like." . . .

The Clintons are a money-grubbing criminal enterprise of long-standing.  The sycophants who work for them, lie for them, are traitors to the nation.  Clinton supporters know this and do not care.  They have been taught that there is no objective truth.  They will vote for her and never connect the dots as the country slides into tyranny, socialism and disintegrates.

Speaking respectfully, of course.

This American Moment; Black Lives, Power Politics, and the Unborn

John Piper

. . . "The primary lesson that I draw from this history for America at this moment is the reality, the preciousness, and the power of truth in the public square. When I say America at this moment, I am thinking of 1) the killing by police of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in St. Paul, Minnesota, 2) the sniper killing of five police in Dallas, 3) the FBI non-indictment of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after her repeated, FBI-acknowledged falsehoods and “extremely careless” handling of classified material, and 4) the continued defense by national leaders of the legitimacy of killing children in their mother’s wombs.

"The events underline the vital necessity of embracing the reality, preciousness, and power of truth in the public square at this moment. Let’s take them in reverse order — power, preciousness, then reality.

The Power of Truth

"The fact that most people carry cameras now — in their smartphones — has made the killing of black men by the police a matter of powerful truth. Of course videos can lie. They are only part of the story, often limited to a short clip of the end of a larger event, offering us only one angle. But they also deliver truth, undeniable truth. Whatever stories and rationales for these killings are brought forward, they will have to square with the visual truths of these videos." . . .

Piper concludes with these words:

These advocates for freedom from truth cover their evisceration of truth-claims by crying out against the oppression of the poor and weak. But in nullifying truth, they strip the poor and weak of the one great weapon they still have: the truth that there is such a thing as justice, and this is not it. Truth is a mighty weapon in the hand of the weak. The powerful have been playing academic word games for seventy years with deadly fallout.

Obama and Bush weigh in on the shootings in Dallas

George W. Bush Responds To ‘Heinous’ Ambush: ‘Murdering The Innocent Is Always Evil’

"Sparking one commentator to remark, “We miss you now more than ever, W,” President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, issued a statement of sympathy and support in the wake of Thursday night’s ambush that claimed the lives of five Dallas Police officers and injured seven others.

John S. Roberts, writing on Young Conservatives, noted after reading the statement the Bush family posted on Facebook and shared with the media, “While Barack Obama is blaming ‘powerful weapons‘ for the deaths of five police offices at a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas, the last real leader of the United States sent out this message.”

“If a good man like you were still in the White House, we’d have a counter-BLM task force by now, patrolling the streets to remove these dangerous terrorists from civilized society. Unfortunately, we don’t have a good man in the White House,” wrote Alex Gravlin.

Black Power Group Claims Responsibility For Dallas Shooting  

Dallas Police Believed to Be First to Use Robot Lethally

WSJ

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, in background, looked on as Police 

Chief David Brown spoke at a news conference Friday after the fatal

 shootings of five police officers.

. . . "Dallas Police Chief David Brown said Friday that officers decided to use a bomb-disposal robot that was jury-rigged with explosives after negotiating with the suspect for several hours and then exchanging gunfire with him. Police identified the gunman as Micah Xavier Johnson, a 25-year-old Army veteran who served a tour in Afghanistan.

“ 'We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot, and place a device on its extension for it to detonate where the suspect was,” Chief Brown said at a news conference. “Other options would have exposed our officers to grave danger. The suspect is deceased as a result of detonating the bomb.”

The battlefield cross and those who are offended by it

Smithsonian
"The first appearance of the "battlefield cross" is a matter of conjecture. It might have been during the Civil War, to signify a dead soldier to be gathered and buried during a truce called for that purpose. Soldier dead were buried in graves in temporary cemeteries near the battlefields, identified by simple wooden plaques. The configuration of the rifle pointed downward with a helmet perched on the stock was a more common sight during World War I and World War II. While the battlefield cross still acted as marker so that the Graves Registration Service personnel could remove the body for burial, it also began to serve as a memorial. Although it is called a cross, the memorial has no overt religious context."

Carved wooden temporary grave marker of Lieutenant Charles R. Carville, a member of the 165th New York Volunteers who died at Port Hudson May 27, 1863, during the American Civil War. Division of Armed Forces History, Nation Museum of American History.

. . . "Interpretations vary regarding the meaning of the components, and how they are placed. The rifle facing downward means the soldier was killed in action; a rifle with a bayonet stuck in the ground tells us the soldier went down fighting. It’s not hard to interpret the placement of the boots or the presence of the dog tags: the soldier has marched the final march to battle, and he will never be forgotten."

BATTLEFIELD CROSS TOO INAPPROPRIATE FOR PARK IN MICHIGAN [VIDEO]  A "couple of people" were offended at the cross!

 "Friends of American Veterans submitted a proposal to complete their Veterans Memorial at the Central Park in Milford, Michigan. However, the group has not received approval specifically because the monument features an M-16 rifle that is viewed as too inappropriate for the park."

"Though some council members are uneasy with the idea of displaying a statue of a military weapon in their park, Councilwoman Jennifer Frankford believes that we wouldn’t have the freedoms we have today if it weren’t for the boots, the gun, and the helmet.

"Frankford alongside with Bear Hall, founder of the FAV and Korean War veteran, have raised over $12,000 is three months to help fund the construction of the memorial. Veterans who donated are furious and are asking why someone who gave their life to protect and serve this country shouldn’t be remembered."

“ 'If people are worried about their kids seeing a gun, take away their video games… don’t let them hunt,” Ron Nevorski, another Friends of American Veterans member told the Free Press."
