Benghazi looms over the GOP convention first night

Mother Of Benghazi Attack Victim: I Blame Hillary Clinton For The Death Of My Son, "She Deserves To Be In Stripes"
. . . "This entire campaign comes down to a single question: If Hillary Clinton can’t give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency?" . . .


Chris Matthews Scolds Mother Of Benghazi Victim: "It Was Wrong" to "Lie About Hillary Clinton"
. . . "I don't care what that woman up there, the mother has felt," Matthews said. "Her emotions are her own but for the country in choosing a leader, it's wrong to have someone get up there and tell a lie about Hillary Clinton. It's not true." . . .

GOP speakers fault Clinton on Benghazi deaths  . . . "The report last month by Republicans on the Benghazi panel accused the Obama administration of lethal mistakes, but produced no new evidence pointing to wrongdoing by Clinton.

"Clinton has said the Benghazi report "found nothing to contradict" the findings of multiple earlier investigations into the attacks." . . .

. . . " 'All of this is an indication of just how strongly the president feels about the need to show our strong support for our men and women in law enforcement," Earnest said, including Obama's "strong" condemnation of the ambush that left three Baton Rouge officers dead over the weekend.

" 'The president dedicated a lot of time to this, both in substance and in symbolism," Earnest said. "The president's strong support for American law enforcement officers is crystal clear.' "

Onward Christian Pansies

Mike Adams

"Last week, a young Christian male asked me a pretty direct question. He wanted to know whether I ever worried that my blunt commentary on social media was “turning people away from Christianity.” I thought it was an honest question. So I gave him an honest answer. I told him that I believe the problem is just the opposite of what he considers it to be. In other words, it isn’t occasional blunt commentary that turns people away from Christianity. It is the constant displays of Christian cowardice that make people both reticent to join and quick to attack us.

. . . 

"Let that sink in for a minute. The next time you self ­censor you may be hurting Christianity, not helping it. We need brave young warriors not spineless “evangelists” who are more concerned about being liked than influencing the culture. In a nutshell, Jesus was not Mr. Rogers. He had little tolerance for the smug moral superiority of those who grasp the truth but lack the faith and courage necessary to defend it."

Interesting choice of words in report on police assassin

Former Marine Kills 3 Baton Rouge Officers, Wounds 3 Others
"A former Marine dressed in black and carrying extra ammunition shot and killed three Baton Rouge law enforcement officers Sunday, less than two weeks after a black man was fatally shot by police here in a confrontation that sparked nightly protests that reverberated nationwide."
. . . 

"Long, who was black, served in the Marines from 2005 to 2010, reaching the rank of sergeant. He deployed to Iraq from June 2008 to January 2009, according to military records."

Obama, the answer to racial conflict for the past eight years

Life in Obama's America. 

Obama’s Divide-and-Rule Presidency  . . . "What better way to ensure allegiance than to fabricate a false narrative of wholesale murder, support it with infuriating lies and half-truths that will eventually be dispelled too late to make a difference, and step back while the inevitable violence escalates?  The president can claim to support police because he mouths words to that effect, while actually throwing his entire support behind the radicals, whose leaders he entertains at the White House, and whose actions he enables by faulting the police for his loyalists’ violence and murder.  He can claim to have the cops’ backs, while elevating Al Sharpton, and holding planning conferences with professional agitators, protesters and anarchists, as he has done throughout his presidency, whether during the “Occupy” phase, or the Ferguson phase, or now. " . . .

QUESTION: Which Obama Should We BELIEVE … The ANTI-Cop Obama Or The PRO-Cop Obama?

"Which Obama do you think we should believe? The Obama [who] has been sowing seeds of division of anti-cop sentiment during his entire Presidency, or the Obama who is now calling for no more division and peace?"

SPEWING HATE! People ARE Using Social Media To Criticize Police
"Three Baton Rouge  police officers were lured into an area and killed on Sunday and members of social media jumped online to praise  the attack. More  entries like the one above  have not been removed as of the release of this  story."

Will the White House finally light up to honor fallen police now?  

"The White House was not dimmed to blue lighting; in fact, during one press briefing last week, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explicitly stated that there are no plans of illuminating the residence blue in honor of the officers  . . but the official residence was turned into a rainbow on the day the Supreme Court struck down laws banning same-sex marriage. If they’re worried that turning the White House blue might look political, that’s weak sauce. If a gay marriage ruling can move the White House to taste the rainbow, then illuminating it in blue for the five officers who were all but assassinated in Dallas isn’t just appropriate—it’s required.

Shut Down The RNC!!! Communists Conspire To Create Chaos In Cleveland

Gulag Bound  "Unless Cleveland’s police are well prepared and resolute, the city’s streets could well see bloodletting and violence on a scale not seen since Chicago 1968. Given the recent spate of communist-driven and White House encouraged anti-police violence and the almost visceral hatred many on the left feel towards prospective Republican nominee Donald Trump, almost anything could happen. If City leaders don’t firmly stand behind their “thin blue line,” the radicals will try to turn Cleveland into a cauldron of hatred."

VIDEO: David Clarke Chews CNN’s Don Lemon To Bits Over Black Lives Matter

BTW, Sheriff Clarke will be speaking to the RNC convention this week.

The Hayride   "Clarke, the celebrated sheriff of Milwaukee County in Wisconsin, went on Lemon’s show yesterday to push his usual message of opposition to Black Lives Matter as the source of the recent rash of cop-killings and to castigate the media for enabling what he calls BLM’s “hateful ideology.”

"Lemon tried to quiet him down by talking to him like a child, and that didn’t work. Clarke wasn’t there for his 15 minutes of fame (he’s long past that point; he’s speaking at the Republican convention tonight, after all, and he’s been a regular on cable news as a foil for Black Lives Matter since Ferguson); he was there to trash the cop-haters."

"And the interview went poorly. It makes for painful viewing, if for no other reason than here you can see, side by side, the difference between old-school machismo and the modern metrosexual soft-boy version of masculinity the coastal elites have on offer – and not only don’t they mix, but the inferiority of the latter is off-putting when displayed in such relief."

How does Mr. Lemon keep his job at CNN?  "CNN’s Don Lemon was named as “Worst Journalist of 2014” on the Columbia Journalism Review, Darts & Laurel blog. Per the blog, Lemon was the only named journalist, although publications were also mentioned.

But perhaps the biggest misstep Lemon made this year was when he counseled Joan Tarshis, a reported Bill Cosby rape victim, on how to resist sexual assault.

All The Officers Killed And Injured In Baton Rouge Identified

Weasel Zippers

"Montrell Jackson, 32, father of 1;  Brad Garofala, 45, father of 4; Matthew Gerald, 41, father of 2. Gerald was a relatively new officer and had been working on his own for just 12 days…

"Via Fox News: 

The Louisiana governor called the shooting of Baton Rouge deputies and officers "an absolutely unspeakable heinous attack" Sunday, as the city mourned the deaths of three officers and prayed for the recovery of one "fighting for his life."

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards described Sunday morning's deadly ambush on six Baton Rouge officers as "unjustifiable" and said, "the violence, the hatred just has to stop." 

Officials said the officers were shot Sunday after responding to a call about a man walking down Airline Highway with an assault rifle at approximately 8:40 a.m. outside a store in Baton Rouge — about a mile from police headquarters.

Baton Rouge killer shared photo on Twitter of cop being shot

The American Mirror  "Suspected Baton Rouge cop killer Gavin Long — aka Cosmo Setepenra — seems to have established a motive for his rampage on social media.

"The most graphic example is a photo posted June 7th of someone shooting into the driver’s seat of police car, which he retweeted using the name @ConvosWithCosmo:"

Answering racial conflict with love and truth

American Thinker  "I thought I would share my perspective as a conservative Christian father who recently adopted a black teenage son during this time of media and activist inspired racial conflict.

"No doubt, some number of Americans refused to vote for President Obama on the basis of his race.  But whatever the number, it is dwarfed by the number of Americans who voted FOR him on the basis of his race.  At no point in our history and in few places on earth is racism less of a problem.

""Yet 80% of young blacks and more than 50% of young whites say that racism is a "major problem."  How can that be?  Quite simply, because they've been taught that.  We now know (shouldn't we have examined the evidence first?) that police don't shoot black suspects resisting arrest any more than they do whites, according to the research of Dr. Roland Fryer, a Harvard professor who had the courage to bring some veritas into this national discussion.  Better, as a black man, he'll even get to keep his job.

"But why would the news media deliberately perpetrate a hoax on America that has led to the execution murders of multiple police officers and many more innocent black citizens killed in the ensuing lawlessness created by a neutered police force?  In a word, politics." . . .
