Sutherland Baptist Church pastor: Pastor Frank Pomeroy: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

. . . "After the shooting, Kelley fled the area in his vehicle, and residents pursued him on a chase through Guadalupe County. He was found deceased inside the vehicle after he crashed. It’s not yet known if he shot himself, or if he was shot by those chasing him.

"You can follow updates on the shooting by going here. The shooting is the deadliest mass killing at a house of worship in modern U.S. history." . . .

The death toll of the Texas church shooting is about 7 percent of the town's population

Forget gun control now; with an estimated 500 million firearms in the country already, if not one more gun was sold, they would all be out there and ready to be used. As one person interviewed by Fox News Rick Leventhal stated, our population is wedded to these weapons, not to be parted. 

The Week "Local law enforcement have yet to release a firm count of victims of Sunday's deadly mass shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, but most reports indicate about 27 people were killed and nearly as many injured.

"Those numbers would be gutting under any circumstances, but the impact of the tragedy will be more sharply felt given the town's tiny size: Sutherland Springs was home to just 362 people as of the 2000 census, The New York Timesreports, which means about the death toll amounts to about 7 percent of the population.

" 'There is a gas station and a post office. That's about all there really is," saidJoseph Silva, who lives near Sutherland Springs, of the small town. 

""Everybody is pretty grief-stricken" after the attack, he added. "Everyone's worried." Bonnie Kristian

DNC chair Brazile almost replaced Hillary Clinton with Joe Biden as candidate after her collapse at 9/11 memorial

NY Daily News "Hillary Clinton’s lifeless campaign and 9/11 swoon nearly led Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile to replace her with Joe Biden as their presidential candidate.

"Brazile, in her tell-all memoir of the contentious 2016 presidential race, reveals she pondered yanking Clinton off the ballot after she collapsed while leaving a Ground Zero memorial service.

"By then, the Clinton campaign was permeated by the “odor of failure” and Brazile thought the sitting vice president might energize the troops, according to The Washington Post.

“ 'Again and again I thought about Joe Biden,” Brazile writes in the book. “(But) no matter my doubts and my fears about the election and Hillary as a candidate, I could not make good on my threat to replace her.”

"Brazile, before scrapping the plan, envisioned New Jersey Sen. Cory

Booker as Biden’s running mate on the revamped ticket.

Rand Paul assaulted at Kentucky home by neighbor, Dr. Rene Boucher

Which is most surprising: that Sen. Paul was assaulted by his neighbor, or that the Senator was mowing his own lawn?

The Hill  "Kentucky State Police have arrested a man accused of assaulting Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) at his home in Bowling Green, the senator's office confirmed on Saturday. 

Boucher from his Facebook page

" 'Senator Paul was blindsided and the victim of an assault," Kelsey Cooper, a spokeswoman for Paul, said in a statement. "The assailant was arrested and it is now a matter for the police. Senator Paul is fine.”

"The suspect was identified as 59-year-old Rene Boucher of Bowling Green, according to a statement from police. The Warren County Attorney's Office issued a warrant for Boucher's arrest shortly after the assault on Friday.

"Police are investigating the assault, according to the statement. Boucher has been charged with 4th degree assault, causing a minor injury. ' "

Rene Boucher: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Boucher’s daughter, Danielle, is Facebook friends with Paul’s son, William. WAVEreports that Boucher and Paul are neighbors. The station adds in their report that the FBI is investigating to see if the attack was politically motivated. Although WAVE’s Jobina Fortson tweeted that neighbors are saying that Paul and Boucher “had an ongoing feud.” Online records show that Paul lives along Lakeside Way in Bowling Green.

Details about Rene Boucher, the man who assaulted Rand Paul, reveal possible motive  . . . "According to the Daily Caller, records with Kentucky State Board of Election show the alleged assailant, Rene Boucher, is a registered Democrat. Fox News also noted that “a person with his name also works as an anesthesiologist in Bowling Green.”

In addition to being a registered Democrat, the Daily Caller revealed:

• A Facebook account that appears to Boucher’s contains multiple anti-President Donald Trump postings
• Boucher shared posts from Occupy Democrats, a popular Facebook page for liberals and progressives
• Though there were no negative comments about Paul on Boucher’s Facebook page, Boucher did write negatively about many other Republicans and the GOP in general

As of Saturday afternoon, the Facebook page was quickly being inundated with comments slamming Boucher.

North Korea Pitches A Fit As Sanctions Start To Take Their Toll

I'm sure Kim and his regime sorely miss the pliant Obama

Daily Caller

"The North, however, refuses to abandon its ballistic missile and nuclear weapons development programs. While it’s people starve, North Korea invests around one-fourth of its GDP in its defense programs."

"North Korea appears to be panicking as the international community tightens the noose with tough, crippling sanctions.

“ 'The U.S.-led racket of brutal sanctions and pressure against the DPRK constitutes contemporary human rights violation and genocide,” the North Korean mission to the United Nations in Geneva said in a statement, according to Reuters.

"Sanctions “threaten and impede the enjoyment by the people of the DPRK of their human rights in all sectors,” the North Korean mission argued. “All types of anti-human rights and inhumane sanctions against the DPRK should be terminated immediately and thoroughly.”

"In response to North Korea’s tests of an intercontinental ballistic missile, the firing of missiles over Japan into the Pacific, and a test of a suspected staged thermonuclear device, the United Nations has imposed the toughest sanctions ever on the North, crippling both exports and imports. The U.S. has also imposed unilateral sanctions on the regime, increasing the pressure." . . .

The left fat-shames and Southern-shames Sarah Huckabee Sanders

I'm thankful this site stayed away from cartoons mocking Michelle Obama's appearance, but stuck with her racially divisive speeches and statements, especially to college speeches. TD

H/T Joanne Parks @ Libnorants

Monica Showalter  "Most people, when they run out of arguments, just shut up.

Much of the left, however, moves on to attacking the person.  For being the person.  Getting personal.  Bullying.

"So now we have a couple of left-wing male columnists from big self-important newspapers – the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times – attacking Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a White House employee, for things she can't do anything about.

"The New York Times' Frank Bruni shames Sanders for her Southern accent:

Besides, she's serving a function other than communication, which turns out not to be her forte. (To listen to her pronounce "priorities" is akin to hearing the air seep out of a flat tire, and she leaves half of the consonants on the curb.)

"The Los Angeles Times' David Horsey shames Sanders for her weight and her class, and throws in a shot at the other Trump women, too.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders does not look like the kind of woman Donald Trump would choose as his chief spokesperson. Much like Roger Ailes when he was stocking the Fox News lineup with blond Barbie dolls in short, tight skirts, the president has generally exhibited a preference for sleek beauties with long legs and stiletto heels to represent his interests and act as his arm candy.

"Doesn't matter, because this isn't really about extracting an apology.  It's about what it reveals.  Horsey and Bruni can apologize or not apologize, but we all know what they are thinking about all of us.

The Big Reveal: The Story of How 470,000 Documents from Osama Bin Laden's Compound Finally Got Into the Open

Obama’s theme to win re-election was Al Qaeda was alternately “on the run” or “decimated” or “on the path to defeat.” It was a lie he created and his minions promulgated. He corrupted agencies and people in his cause.

S. Noble    "The administration has released 470,000 files from the Bin Laden raid kept hidden by the Obama administration. Stephen Hayes, in an article at The Weekly Standard, explains why he hid them.

"Barack Obama and his minions literally ignored the best interests of the United States in defense and nationals security without hesitation for the cause.The Abbottabad Documents as they were known were kept from the public and even left untranslated because they didn’t fit the political narrative and that is all that mattered. It mattered beyond truth, beyond fighting terrorism and only winning office and furthering the agenda mattered.

"National Security Advisor at the time Tom Donilon described the haul as enough to fill a “small college library” It was “the single largest collection of senior terrorist materials ever,” he said. While making these comments, they only released 571 documents.

"Why did this happen?

The self-proclaimed “most transparent administration in history” had spent more than five years misleading the American people about the threat from al Qaeda and its offshoots and had paid very little price for having done so. Republicans volubly disputed the president’s more laughable claims—the attack on the Benghazi compound was just a protest gone bad, al Qaeda was on the run, ISIS was the terrorist junior varsity—but the establishment media, certain that Obama’s predecessor had consistently exaggerated the threat, showed little interest in challenging Obama or the intelligence agencies that often supported his spurious case.

Daily Wire  . . . "[Stephen] Hayes delineates how the documents show a much closer relationship between al Qaeda and Iran than had been heretofore assumed. He points out that Obama in his first term centered on how George W. Bush had allegedly ruined the war on terror but the second term was focused on making a deal with the Iranian government. He adds:

In a manner of speaking, Barack Obama wanted what al Qaeda already had: a mutually beneficial partnership with Tehran. Revealing to the American people the truth about Osama bin Laden’s cozy working relationship with the Iranian government might have fatally undermined that diplomatic quest, just as the ongoing vitality of al Qaeda, amply testified to in the bin Laden documents, would have contradicted Obama’s proud claims in 2012 that al Qaeda was “on the run.” So Obama, with the eager cooperation of some in the intelligence community, bottled up the bin Laden documents and ran out the clock.

Trust Donna Brazile, Democrats: You're better off without Clinton and Obama

Washington Examiner  "Donna Brazile called Sen. Bernie Sanders in September 2016 in her capacity as interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She had some bad news for him, although we use the word "news" loosely here, for what she told him had been obvious for a long time; the presidential primary had been rigged against him to help Hillary Clinton win." . . .
. . . 
"One assumes that if Clinton had not gone down in flames and had instead won the White House, Brazile would not have come forward with a bombshell about corruption at the DNC. So why is Brazile now attacking Clinton? Is it just kicking her while she is down? That seems unlikely. Much more plausible is that Brazile is again doing her bit for the party and, a year before presidential wannabes start emerging from the shadows, is trying to make sure Hillary never tries a comeback, never again runs for president." . . .

All cartoons added

. . . "To be fair to the DNC, it didn't enter this agreement simply because it thought Clinton a preferable candidate, although that was part of it. No, the committee was bust. It had no money for the campaign. It was on the brink of collapse. So it was vulnerable to a hostile takeover. Clinton could make it an offer it couldn't refuse.

"For this, the party can thank former President Barack Obama. Brazile writes, “Obama’s neglect had left the party in significant debt” to the tune of $24 million. Gensler told Brazile, “The campaign had to do it or the party would collapse.” It's worth noting, therefore, that Obama not only wrecked the party across the country by helping it lose about 1,000 legislative seats at the state level but also left it financially crippled.

"Almost no one knew about the debt, not even senior officers of the party, Brazile included. When she found out, she screamed, “I am an officer of the party and they’ve been telling us everything is fine and they were raising money with no problems.” The whole thing was a big lie, which makes it entirely predictable that it was presided over by Clinton, who lies even when she says "but" and "and," as the saying goes.

"Brazile's expose is a deliberate blow by the party to smash the Clinton machine." . . .

Hillary Clinton Merits a Special Counsel  

"Hillary Clinton staged a political coup worthy of a banana republic. Brazile has confirmed that Hillary Clinton was engaging in money-laundering to help her campaign." . . .

Hillary Clinton has become the J.R. Ewing of the Democratic Party.
. . . "Just as "everyone knew" about Harvey Weinstein but said nothing, Democrats had long ago learned to avoid, at all costs, offending the Clintons, while pretending to like them.  They sold their political souls to a devil, and they are paying the political price.  Pray for them that they lose no more soul than that." . . .

Hillary Clinton is every bit the sociopathic, sadistic schemer Ewing was.  Able to look a grieving mother in the eye and lie to her, saying her son, a true American hero, was killed at Benghazi because of a video instead of by Clinton-Obama malfeasance, Hillary revealed to many of us a peek into the dark depths of depravity that is the Clinton soul.

Boise State Prof attacked for article “Transgender Activists Are Seeking to Undermine Parental Rights”

Legal Insurrection  “ 'A petition to fire Mr. Yenor has garnered more than 2,000 signatures.' ”

"Scott Yenor teaches political science at Boise State University.

"He wrote an essay in which he claimed that allowing children to choose their gender undermines the family and parental rights. Social justice warriors are now calling for his firing.

"Even the outspoken progressive professor Camille Paglia has stated that she believes indulging children in transgenderism is a form of child abuse. Yet the left is treating Yenor as a heretic.

"It all began when he wrote this at the Daily Signal:

Transgender Activists Are Seeking to Undermine Parental Rights

Winning public sanction for same-sex marriage was the last great feminist victory. Same-sex marriage undermined sex roles within marriage. It put children ever more outside the purpose of marriage. It reinforced the idea that all means of sexual satisfaction are equal.

Where will the radical feminist revolution roll to next? . . .

"One of the people leading the charge against Yenor is the school’s Director of Student Diversity and Inclusion who wrote the following about Yenor’s essay in a post on the school’s website titled Connecting The Dots:" . . .

Starbucks’ New CEO Rosalind Brewer Doesn’t Really Like White Guys

Conservative Forever "Howard Schultz was the liberal CEO of Starbucks who desperately supported Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

"He even threatened to dismiss the investors if they don’t support gay marriage."

"Currently, he is only an executive chairman and his replacement is Rosalind Brewer (right).

"According to Silence is Consent, Brewer has shared many statements that can be described as controversial. Back in 2015, during her interview with CNN, she expressed that she has a problem with white men in America."

 . . . "According to The Washington Post: “My executive team is very diverse, and I make that a priority,” she told Harlow. “I demand it of my team and within the structure. And then, every now and then, you have to nudge your partners, and you have to speak up and speak out. And I try to use my platform for that. … I try to set an example. I try to mentor many women inside my company and outside the company because I think it’s important.

“ 'And I talk to my suppliers about it. Just today we met with a supplier, and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian males. That was interesting. I decided not to talk about it directly with [the supplier’s] folks in the room because there were actually no females, like, levels down. So I’m going to place a call to him.”

"Many people thought that her statement is racist and sexist. She even addressed to her suppliers by claiming that they are discriminating the women and the minorities by employing white men only.

"Brewer probably is fitting perfectly at Starbucks. If she sees a problem with her company, she will probably use her CEO position to fix the discrimination issue."

LA Times ‘Fat Shames’ Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Makes Her Look Like A Nazi And Puts Down Moms

From Wikipedia, about David Horsey comes this excerpt:  . . . "In November 2017 he penned a column for the Los Angeles Times attacking Donald Trump's press secretary. He included criticisms of her looks and attire. After being criticized for the comment he apologized and they were removed from his column. His cartoons have also pictured her in an ugly way." . . .

From Fox News:  David Horsey body shamed White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders   . . . "It’s curious to think what Horsey, who is politically correct when it’s convenient, would feel about fat shaming Sanders on a day when it doesn’t fit his anti-Trump agenda. It should be noted that Horsey doesn’t only shame the appearance of females, as he has mocked Trump in cartoons, calling him a “bloated orange mess,” among other things."

. . . 

"Shortly after Fox News asked for comment, the Times removed all references to Sanders’ appearance and added a note from Horsey." . . .

But comedians will love him for it.

"LA Times makes Sarah Huckabee Sanders a Nazi and fat shames her. And puts down soccer moms.

"Here’s their lovely description:

Much like Roger Ailes when he was stocking the Fox News lineup with blond Barbie dolls in short, tight skirts, the president has generally exhibited a preference for sleek beauties with long legs and stiletto heels to represent his interests and act as his arm candy.

Trump’s daughter Ivanka and wife Melania are the apotheosis of this type. By comparison, Sanders looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids’ games. Rather than the fake eyelashes and formal dresses she puts on for news briefings, Sanders seems as if she’d be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes. Yet, even if Trump privately wishes he had a supermodel for a press secretary, he is lucky to have Sanders.

I'm sure cartoonist Horsey, a gifted artist and occasional honest critic of Obama policies, must enjoy the social scene among the LA elite and his cartoons must certainly place him high on the Hollywood social register.
