The Hill"Republicans and Democrats alike have criticized Ginsburg for making such politically charged comments."
I visualize a plan to have her step down, purportedly because of this incident in order that Obama can select the next vacancy instead of Trump. Just in case Hillary loses, though the conventional wisdom is that with Trump being her opposition, the Presidency is hers to lose. TD
"The terror attack in Nice, France, which took the lives of 84 people after a Tunisian born man drove through a crowd on Bastille Day, is being called a “truck crash” by MSNBC.
"Even after the incident was determined to be deliberate and the identity of the perpetrator was discovered – 31-year-old local Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel – the media outlet continued to portray the attack as though it were accidental." . . .

Obama's shameful record of anti-police rhetoric stretches back to beginning. . . "Anyone who doubts the extent to which Obama’s presidency has been marked by pronounced distaste for police officers — especially white ones — need only look to the litany of ideologically motivated, anti-police statements the president has made since he assumed office." . . .
When Michael Brown was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson while in the process of assaulting Wilson and trying to take his gun, Obama did not call for calm or tell people to wait until the full facts of the case were known.
Later, when Freddie Grey was killed in the custody of black police officers who report to a black police chief in a city governed by a black mayor, Obama once again blamed racism against blacks. "This is not new, and we shouldn't pretend that it's new,"
"These fatal shootings are not isolated incidents," he wrote. "They are symptomatic of the broader challenges within our criminal justice system, the racial disparities that appear across the system year after year," Obama added.
Larry Klayman Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Obama And Black Lives Matter"Because he believes the Commander-In-Chief is colluding to initiate/foment racial divide and violence against whites, Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch, has filed a class action lawsuit against Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and the Black Lives Matter movement." . . .
The defendants are accused of “inciting the imminent serious bodily injury and killing of police officers and other law enforcement persons of all races and ethnicities, Jews, and Caucasians by convincing their supporters and others that there is a civil war between blacks and law enforcement, thereby calling for immediate violence and severe bodily injury or death in response to that non-existent and fictitious threat.”

Obama: ‘Un-American’ Not to Take in More Muslim Refugees "To President Obama, the issue of Syrian Muslim refugee immigration into the United States is a simple risk-reward analysis. The risk: terrorist attack. The reward: not being “Islamophobic.' ”
"It seems that whenever a terrorist attack takes place, certain segments try to blame everyone and everything except the person or persons who actually committed the attack. The recent slaughter of over 80 people in Nice, France, is no different. According to Roshan Salih, the editor of the British Muslim website 5Pillars, the French are to blame for what happened earlier in the week, the Daily Caller reported.
"Salih explained in a tweet sent Friday that the attack happened because “France is an Islamophobic nation..' ” . . .
Well, it is true that I am a beheadophobic.
"A statement posted by ISIS supporters, a security source said that “the person who carried out the run over in Nice, France, is one of the Islamic State soldiers and carried out the operation in response to calls to target nationals of the coalition which is fighting the Islamic State.”
"So it wasn’t the French, it wasn’t the Tea Party, the NRA or the truck itself — it was a terrorist attack carried out by a (brace yourself) terrorist."
Washington Free Beacon"The Pentagon released a manual Friday providing step-by-step instructions describing how service members can get a sex change, allowing for extended time off during the transition.
The directive orders the four military branches to set up a “Service Central Coordination Cell” to guide commanders who are overseeing sex changes, the Washington Times reported.
Commanders are in charge of approving medical treatment required for genital reconstruction surgery, hormone therapy, and recovery, all of which are funded by tax dollars.
"Once the transition is complete and the service member is assigned a new “gender marker,” commanders are responsible for assessing the service member’s ability to return to duty. Commanders are also required to hold training sessions explaining transgender issues and anti-discrimination efforts to their troops." . . . Via Conservative America
Weasel Zippers is always a gold mine for these. Washington state restaurant refuses service to law enforcement. . . "This afternoon 4 Skagit County Sheriff’s office deputies were finishing up lunch at Lucky’s. As 2 deputies went up to pay they were informed by the owner that he requested they not eat there anymore. They were told that other customers didn’t like law enforcement there. My chief deputy spoke to the owner to confirm this because he simply could not believe what he was hearing. The owner not only repeated the request but asked that we spread the word to other law enforcement that they were no longer welcome either." . . .

NEWSPAPER APOLOGIZES FOR THE ‘RACISM’ OF ACCURATELY REPORTING DALLAS POLICE MASSACRE"This is just sad. Following the Dallas police massacre last week where a radical black thug murdered 5 white police officers, a Memphis newspaper ran a headline reading: “Gunman Targeted Whites.” It was 100% true. Killer Micah X. Johnson said he wanted to kill whites, especially white police officers. The pathetic part here is that the newspaper is now apologizing for running that headline because some people said it was racist." So much for a courageous free press.

The authorities in Idaho charged a transgender woman this week with secretly taking pictures of an 18-year-old woman changing in a Target fitting room.
An officer from the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office was called to a Target in Ammon, Idaho, on Monday evening by a woman who said she saw someone reach over the wall separating the fitting rooms there with an iPhone taking pictures or a video, according to a court document. While a majority of Target locations have unisex fitting rooms, the Ammon store does not, a spokeswoman said.
Jennifer Rubin"The first — which the Hillary Clinton campaign and left-wing groups indeed opted for — was to paint him as a right-wing extremist (e.g., anti-LGBT rights, irresponsible on foreign policy, anti-environment). Clinton campaign chief John Podesta released a message arguing, “By picking Mike Pence as his running mate, Donald Trump has doubled down on some of his most disturbing beliefs by choosing an incredibly divisive and unpopular running mate known for supporting discriminatory politics and failed economic policies that favor millionaires and corporations over working families.” That’s sort of the plain-wrap liberal response to any candidate." . . .
Steyn Online"We've received a lot of letters about Barbara Kay's column inThe National Post, so I figured we ought at least to link to it. Huffington Poster Nicholas Nazar has a different take, but onealso worth your time.
"At any rate, Mrs Kay was in attendance at last Friday's Munk Debate on the great migrations, and writes up her view of the evening under the terrifying headline "When Mark Steyn Struck Back":" . . . . . .
To some audience members (not to me, but for example to my furiously tweeting companion, a young colleague whohappens to bear the same last name as me), Steyn dwelt excessively on the sexual crimes we've all read about in Cologne, Hamburg, Malmö and elsewhere. So it apparently seemed to Arbour and Schama, because they mocked Steyn for it in their rebuttals. Arbour sneered at both Steyn and Farage as "newborn feminists" (she got a laugh), while Schama disgraced himself with "I'm just struck by how obsessed with sex these two guys are, actually. It's a bit sad, really." (That got a very big laugh.) I took one look at Steyn's glowering face after that remark — Schama will regret having said it to his dying day, I know it — and I kind of felt sorry for those two liberals, because I knew what was coming.
Steyn slowly rose...
I think that was the moment those of the audience who did change their minds got it... A civilized culture, which takes centuries of painstaking collaborative work to create, can be easily destroyed, and quickly. This is a reality conservatives understand, but liberals, consumed by guilt for past collective sins, and morally disarmed before the Other, choose to ignore. The Munk debate illuminated this important distinction, and for a change, realism won.
. . . "Yes, yes, it's poor form to review one's own debate performance, so all I'll say is that I think Barbara Kay is not quite right, but Tamara is: It wasn't the moment when the crowd swung to our side, but it was the point at which the cartoon labels fell off and the crowd started listening to us as human beings, and evaluating our arguments on the merits, rather than simply dismissing them because we're "cartoons". Some changed their minds, some didn't. But labeling sneers about pseudo-feminist sex-starved paedo-fantasists no longer cut it." . . .

"It’s widely hailed as the most realistic representation of war ever put on screen, and one of the most challenging battle scenes in an epic war film. This week, on Art of the Scene, in honor of the 71st anniversary of D-Day, we’re looking at the storming of Omaha Beach from Saving Private Ryan. SUBSCRIBE: http://goo.gl/9AGRm
"Steven Spielberg’s take on this historic battle aimed to do honor to those who fought, and the result is a realistic - and very human - perspective on the chaos of war. But getting the scene put to film was an enormous challenge for everyone involved. From intense military training for the cast, to intensive attention to detail from the costume and art departments, re-creating this seminal historical moment was a mission for hundreds of filmmaking pros.
"We’ll take you through the numerous decisions Spielberg and his team made in their quest to do justice to the storming of Omaha Beach for audiences - and veterans alike.
"What did you think? Did we teach you something you didn’t know about Saving Private Ryan’s Storming of Omaha Beach? Did we make you consider more about the arts of costuming, sound design, or motion picture photography? Have you seen Saving Private Ryan recently? "
