Does a city burn every time?

Silvio Canto, Jr.  . . . "As always, I withhold judgement on these incidents until we have a full report. Ferguson certainly turned out to be a lot different once a report was issued.   In other words "hands up don't shoot" never actually happened.

"So we will wait for the facts to emerge before we say this or that about the police officer's behavior.

"We can say a couple of things that go on beyond this incident:

1) Are we now at a point in our history where people loot stores or hurt officers just because someone tells them a black man was shot by a police officer? In this case, the police officer is black but that does not matter, apparently. Do facts matter anymore?

2) Who organizes these riots? The certainly happen rather quickly. Don't these people looting have lives or jobs to attend to? It sure seems to me that there lots of people just waiting for the text to go out and do some damage.

3) How are we going to get people to serve in our police forces after these incidents? How can we expect men and women, of diverse races, to go out and put themselves under this kind of second guessing and ruthless scrutiny? Who cares about blue lives and the families that they go to every day?

"It is a horrible situation and the country yearns for a leader who will stand up for the rule of law not go on black radio talks shows to energize an unenergized base."

Can someone please tell me how this president is still so highly favored in our nation and how so few in Hollywood dare stand up to the effects he has caused among us? Is there no wisdom left in our society?

Iran Sanctions Have Ended – and the Mass Executions Have Restarted k

By Mansour Kashfi  . . . "However, since the agreement ending sanctions was signed between the Islamic Republic (IR) and the international powers last January, nothing has improved regarding the everyday life of the Iranian people. Not even one of the critical civil issues that was promised by the so-called “moderate”, “pragmatic” president, Hassan Rouhani, to be addressed after sanctions ended, has been opened for discussion by the IR officials.

"Regardless of the rather rapid increase in Iranian crude oil and petrochemical sales and the release of billions of dollars of frozen money by a number of international oil companies and foreign governments, the nation-wide tax in all categories remarkably increased, and a limited welfare to needy senior citizens has been discontinued.

"Despite the rosy promises of the IR’s authorities, especially Hassan Rouhani, to bring justice for all and raise the standards of living of the people, amazingly nothing has been done to improve Iranians’ living conditions, and no social freedom and justice is on the horizon. On the contrary, tougher repression and mass executions are the only gift by the IR to the Iranian people after sanctions ended.

Obama Plans “Unprecedented” Campaign To Drag Hillary over the Finish Line

Weasel Zippers

" President Obama is approaching the final weeks of the presidential campaign with an intense sense of urgency and concern amid a growing realization that the election could be determined by the narrowest of margins.

"Earlier this year, Obama seemed to regard the defeat of GOP nominee Donald Trump as a near inevitability, but in recent days the president has changed his tone.

"His recent warnings to Democrats that Hillary Clinton could lose reflects his understanding that he needs to be personally involved in mobilizing voters in some demographic groups in which he remains more popular than the party’s nominee — including African Americans and young people, according to several Obama aides and outside advisers.". . . 

Celebs speak out against Trump  . . . "The tongue-in-cheek video pokes fun at traditional celebrity-filled public service announcements, with stars chiming in, “The only way we can prove that to you is by having lots of famous people — just a s--- ton of famous people — repeating how important it is.”

"Without naming him, the spot targets Trump, the GOP presidential nominee.

“ 'Captain America: Civil War" actor Cheadle says the issue is important because it involves a “racist, abusive, coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society.”

“ 'Do we really want to give nuclear weapons to a man whose signature move is firing things?” asks “Hamilton” star Leslie Odom Jr.

“We can end this nightmare before it begins,” Julianne Moore says." . . .

We should expect numerous shows in the coming months to contain references against Trump, just as the "Law & Order" series hammered conservatives over and over.

Here is what Hollywood did to normal Americans who formed the Tea Party:

"Law & Order": another TV show that sucker-punches half the American population   "We began watching a 2009 episode of "Law and Order" entitled "Fed" last night and I had to shut it off at the start. We saw people like ourselves - TEA par-tiers, portrayed as rifle-toting, hateful bigots. Only Hollywood is capable of inspiring dislike and outrage by the simple means of the skillful acting of those who portray people like you and me as despicable and violent. They give us the same treatment they give to pharmaceutical  and insurance companies.

"May God bless all courageous conservatives in our country trying to stem the socialist tide sweeping America because the left has such massive force to bring against them. And the propaganda is being spoon-fed to the American public. How do we stand a chance?"

"Law & Order" & conservatives

I just surfed past "Law and Order, SVU" last evening and heard only the words "conservative bigot" spoken by Richard Belzer in the role of Munch. So I searched the words "conservative bigot law and order". Links included here are some of what came up.

Law [and] Order: Conservative Victims Unit  "This isn't the first time Law [and] Order writers have fantasized about murdering outspoken conservatives.  Last October, The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck was left shaken when an episode of Law [and] Order: SVU featured a character that was raped twice and then murdered by a serial killer.  The victim's name was Elizabeth Hassenbeck."

CIA Director: “I Voted For The Communist Party Candidate”…

Weasel Zippers

"No, not Barack Obama.

(CNN) – At his first polygraph test to enter the CIA, the future director had a secret.

John Brennan on Thursday recalled being asked a standard question for a top security clearance at his early CIA lie detector test: Have you ever worked with or for a group that was dedicated to overthrowing the US?

“I froze,” Brennan said during a panel discussion about diversity in the intelligence community at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual conference. “This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate,” . . .

TRUMP BUSTS MUSLIM PROTECTION RACKET

"Instead of instantly seizing on this moment to assume Trump was wrong, shouldn't Sara have waited until all the facts were in?" 

Ann Coulter  "Forty minutes after the explosion in Chelsea Saturday night, Donald Trump told a crowd in Colorado that a bomb had gone off in New York and said, "We better get very tough, folks. We better get very, very tough." 

"For the next 48 hours, the media denounced Trump for jumping to conclusions about a "bomb" -- and especially for the wild suggestion that government policy had had anything to do with it. (How about our policy of naturalizing 858 people from terrorist-producing countries who were under orders of deportation? Is it deplorable to ask about that policy?)

"That night, CNN boasted that it placed "numerous requests" to the Trump campaign, demanding his evidence that it was a bomb.This explosive-filled device with a detonator that blew up in a dumpster -- what makes you think it was a bomb?

"Hoping to get a snappy riposte from the pouty pantsuit on Trump's wild leap from an explosion in a dumpster to a "bomb," the press asked her to comment on Trump's "conclusion" -- as they termed his statement of the blindingly obvious.

"Hillary referred to the bombing as a "bombing," then snipped, "I think it's important to know the facts about any incident like this ... I think it's always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions."

"True, there was a bombing, but that doesn't mean there was a bomb. Let's not fly off the handle. It could have been an exploding Edible Arrangement."  . . .

As described in In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome! our media and politicians are pretty quick to jump to the conclusion that terrorist attacks have absolutely nothing to do with Islam.
The night a truck bomb was found smoldering in Times Square, Mayor Michael Bloomberg went on "CBS Evening News" and said he thought it was somebody "homegrown," maybe "somebody with a political agenda that doesn't like the health care bill or something."
The morning after the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando, NBC's law enforcement analyst, Jim Cavanaugh, said that his best guess was that the shooter was a person "rooted in white hate movements," and had picked the club "because it's a diverse club and he hates diverse people." 

DEADLIEST LIE: Without 'Lone Wolf' Lie, U.S. Could Have Stopped Nearly EVERY ATTACK

Bipartisan Washington “reasons” that telling the truth would portray the United States as “at war with Islam.” To be blunt, this conventional wisdom can only be described as sheer idiocy.

Andrew C. McCarthy   . . . "Virtually every time a terror attack has occurred, the actor initially portrayed as a solo plotter lurking under the government’s radar turns out to be -- after not much digging – an already known (sometimes even, notorious) Islamic extremist.

"As amply demonstrated by Poole’s reporting, catalogued here by PJ Media, "lone wolves" --virtually every single one -- end up having actually had extensive connections to other Islamic extremists, radical mosques, and (on not rare occasions) jihadist training facilities.

"The overarching point I have been trying to make is fortified by Pat’s factual reporting. It is this: There are, and can be, no lone wolves.

"The very concept is inane, and only stems from a willfully blind aversion to the ideological foundation of jihadist terror: Islamic supremacism.

"The global, scripturally rooted movement to impose sharia -- in the West, to incrementally supersede our culture of reason, liberty, and equality with the repressive, discriminatory norms of classical Islamic law -- is a pack. The wolves are members of the pack, and that’s why they are the antithesis of “lone” actors. And, indeed, they always turn out to be “known” precisely because their association with the pack, with components of the global movement, is what ought to have alerted us to the danger they portended before they struck." . . .

CHARLIE CRIST VOUCHES FOR HILLARY’S HONESTY; HILARITY ENSUES

Power Line  . . . "Crist and Jolly debated earlier this week. During the debate, Crist, a former Republican, explained why he intends to vote for Hillary Clinton for president. He stated:

I am proud of Hillary Clinton. I think she’s been a very good secretary of state, a very good senator from the state of New York. The thing I like most about her is I believe she is steady, I believe that she is strong, I believe that she is honest, and I look forward to voting for her.

"Whereupon the Tampa audience burst into laughter."

Slain Ambassador Stevens' fiancee could not disagree more. 

" . . .she believes Hillary Clinton stepped down as secretary of state after realizing she had made a huge mistake in not paying closer attention to the growing threat of violence in Libya that led to the Benghazi attack.

How can voters continue to look up to this small man?

Power Line   "President Obama is the devotee of an incredibly delusional and destructive ideology, and he is also a very small man. I believe him to be the smallest man ever to occupy the office of the president, though I may be overlooking some nineteenth century president whom I don’t know sufficiently well."

"Obama put his ideological claptrap, his arrogance, his pettiness and his vanity prominently on display yesterday in his final address to the United Nations General Assembly (transcripthere, video below). They used to say that politics stops at the water’s edge. For Obama, it’s all politics all the time as he uses the United Nations forum for a thinly veiled attack on Donald Trump. What a jerk."
. . . 
"Our friends at Grabien have created the clip below compiling some of Obama’s comments on the United States in his speech. If you can’t stand to watch the whole thing, you may want to give this a try. The lowlights are illuminating in their own way. He fancies himself a man far bigger than his own country if not the narrow world."  Obama's UN Video here.

"How to survive a terrorist attack? Top anti-terror cop reveals the tactics you should adopt to escape – and why hiding behind a desk is a really bad idea

UK Daily Mail  "Terrorists are massacring innocent civilians across the western world, and although the chances of getting caught up in the next attack are small, few people are prepared.

"Britain is currently on a 'severe' threat warning, and horrific atrocities have already been carried out in France, Belgium, and just recently the United States. 

"The latter charged Afghan-born Ahmad Khan Rahami with planting bombs in New York and New Jersey on Saturday, injuring 31 people, and the risk of lone-wolf attacks has never been higher."

. . . "Detective Chief Superintendent Scott Wilson, appointed National Counter Terrorism Co-ordinator, Protect and Prepare, teamed up with MailOnline for an exclusive hard-hitting video setting out nine life-saving tactics.

"The top anti-terror chief, who has worked with the Metropolitan Police since 2003, said you need to act fast."

NINE LIVE-SAVING TIPS IN THE EVENT OF AN ATTACK 

1. You need to stay alert but not alarmed

2. There is no point staying to negotiate

3. Get yourself away from the danger zone

4. Try and hide within a building behind steel doors

5. Use properties where you can barricade yourself in

6. Don't hide behind a desk or a normal wall

7. Keep quiet

8. Ring 999*  (*911 in the US)

9. Get detailed information out there as quickly as possible – how many offenders? What type of weapon? Any casualties?

. . . "In the mock event the 'suicide bomber' shouts 'Allahu Akbar', for which the force had to later issue an apology.

"The police were then accused of 'bowing to political correctness' after angry commenters online believed they were right to make the exercise similar to previous ISIS planned attacks. 

"London police have recently been kitted out with heavy-duty weaponry to combat terrorists"

They attack us, and we aren’t supposed to notice

James Longstreet  "Noticing and mentioning terrorist attackers is now considered -- by the Left and Hillary Clinton -- as giving comfort to the enemy. Where in the history of the world has this ever been true?

"Hillary and the Left are pouncing on the alleged impact of Donald Trump mentioning radical Islam in discussions surrounding the recent bombings and attacks on our citizenry. The suggestion is that Trump’s choice of words recruits more terrorists.

"Playing nice with your enemies and guarding their feelings now takes its place next to microaggressions, safe zones, and multisex bathroom usage.

"File this idiocy with the rhetoric surrounding the closing of Gitmo, that Gitmo is a “recruiting tool” for ISIS. The skewed logic concludes that by closing the facility the acrimony will abate, that recruitment for ISIS will decline, and that the placation will have the desired effect.

"Lost on the Left is the cold hard fact that as the population of Gitmo declined, the recruitment and the terrorists attacks of ISIS have ramped up significantly." . . .

IF TODAY’S MSM COVERED HISTORIC EVENTS FROM AMERICA’S PAST…

E. Williams  

"Never in history has there been more insanity in the field of journalism than in our present time. The industry is drowning in reporters and news anchors who insist on telling us that what we have seen with our own eyes is not, in fact, what happened. Fortunately for us, they can correct the past.

"The latest example of this type of journalism is the recent collapse of Hillary Clinton when she froze up, in some sort of possible seizure or other neurological event, while trying to get into a van. A seizure is now the leading symptom indicating a pneumonia diagnosis. Medical textbooks are being updated at this moment.

"According to today’s mainstream media (MSM), Mrs. Clinton “stumbled” while trying to climb into the van. Forget what your own eyes saw in the video shown around the world. Generally, stumbling involves catching one’s balance quickly, followed by looking around to see who saw the stumble."

Excerpt: ". . . Pearl Harbor attack – A surprise attack by the Japanese on US military forces took place this morning in Hawaii. President Roosevelt has already apologized to Japan. The cause of the attack is not known at press time, but it’s extremely likely that America deserved it.

The Holocaust – Adolf Hitler, in no way connected to Nazism, has opened up recreational parks in Germany, catering exclusively to the Jewish population.  . . ."

The Philadelphia Eagles, NFL, ESPN and Guilty White Liberals: Go to Hell

Baron Von Kowenhoven  "The Philadelphia Eagles squared off with Chicago Bears in Chicago tonight (Monday) – in SOLDIER FIELD – Illinois’s largest war memorial.. Yet some of the Eagles still chose to protest the National Anthem.

"In a sacred place to Veterans everywhere in America. Everywhere in the world."

Shame on that texting flag holder while we're at it

"Before the anthem, the little unqualified, but cutie ESPN/ABC girl, gave a sweet little report of the important planned protest – never once mentioning Veterans or the sacrifice they’ve made so she can have her little broadcasting job."

"That’s me on the right and on the left – a guy who fought for your right to be a complete a--hole. Good job."
