"Break up the caravan"? Yeah, right.

Mexico Breaks Up Caravan Of Migrants Headed For US Border

. . . "The caravan, which numbers about 1,200, is currently in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Organized by the group Pueblos Sin Fronteras (People Without Borders), it has been trekking north through Mexico with the aim of drawing attention to “migrant rights” and, potentially, applying for asylum in the U.S.

"In a statement released Monday night, the Mexican foreign ministry said 400 of the migrants in the caravan entered Mexico illegally and had already been repatriated. The remaining migrants will be subjected to an “administrative migration procedure,” the government said, though it was unclear how many marchers would be allowed to continue their journey to the U.S. border." . . .

Or have they? 
 Thomas Lifson:  "Mexico claiming it will disband Central American caravan heading toward US border"
"It looks like President Trump's tweets have had an effect on Mexico.  Whether or not you believe that our southern neighbor will follow through, at least they realize they have a P.R. problem and face some serious consequences for aiding and abetting violations of our border.  Joshua Partlow and David Agren, reporting in the Washington Bezos Post, totally buy into the Mexican P.R. effort:" . . .

. . . "President Trump put the Mexican government in box.  The Mexicans realize that Mexico has benefited from NAFTA far more than the U.S., and as they watch Trump slapping tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum, they see that they are in serious jeopardy.  They may assume that lip service will suffice.  If so, they still don't understand President Trump."

Democrats want them here to vote Democrat, saying these are Americans at heart and will love this country. See if this shows you how much Mexicans love America and if they, with the aid of US leftists, are making California a Mexican colony:  
U.S. soccer team booed in their own country as Mexican fans turn LA into an 'away' game

Despite being the 'home' side in California's Rose Bowl stadium, the majority of fans - most of them American born of naturalized Mexicans - booed and jeered the U.S. team.The surprising scenes were followed by angry outbursts from U.S. team goalkeeper Tim Howard, who was visibly shaken after the entire post match ceremony was conducted in Spanish.

A country without statues is not much of a country

First, these people do not love their country.  So what country do they love?  As I recall, Geronimo did not allow dissent or an opposition party.  They present a false view of the past, or "white man is bad" and "everybody else is a victim."

Geronimo decided to use the smoke as a screen for an escape, and instructed the women to strangle the remaining infants so their cries would not give away their position. If they refused, he declared, he would leave them all to their fates. Geronimo had abandoned women and children three times before. He believed saving his warriors took precedence over the fate of the noncombatants.

 Silvio Canto, Jr.  . . . "My dad would often watch Fox News, and we'd chat about the news segment.  On one occasion, we spoke about taking down statues.  He said statues are like family photos – a reminder of where you came from.  You can't delete them any more than you can erase that family member you are not proud of.  My dad warned me that this movement will eventually divide the country into factions.

"And yes, my father was right.  We need to be cautious about erasing the past.

"The latest news on this front is about Native Americans and the town of Arcata, California, as we see in this Los Angeles Times report:

No other city has taken down a monument to a president for his misdeeds. 

But Arcata is poised to do just that. 

The target is an 8½-foot bronze likeness of William McKinley, who was president at the turn of the last century and stands accused of directing the slaughter of Native peoples in the U.S. and abroad.

"Put a rope around its neck and pull it down," Chris Peters shouted at a recent rally held at the statue, which has adorned the central square for more than a century.

"Lynch McKinley?  All I can say is wow, and who is next?" 

. . . [Geronimo] was a man who prized family life, yet showed no remorse in killing other people's families,' writes Paul Harris of The Guardian.

Stay outa the mud, conservatives!

"Democrats and the mainstream media need David Hogg to stay in the limelight if their anti-Second Amendment agenda is to succeed."

Gonzo Overkill

Fox News kahunas call BS on Hogg's ad boycott and say Ingraham will stay  . . . It was the right move.  Obviously, the adults are back at Fox.  Someone made them come over there.  Someone understands what is at stake with Hogg's kid tantrum, which has since been exploited by sleazy Washington, D.C. Democratic Party-linked smear outfits, such as Media Matters, which aided Hogg in extending it into its bid to shut down the free press.  The kahunas saw through it, roused themselves, and now have spoken.  Look at how badly this had degenerated in this exchange on CNN, as reported in the Daily Wire:

On Saturday, Hogg appeared on CNN where he called Ingraham a bully and said that the only way he would ever appear on her show again is if she apologized to every person she had every hurt "throughout her professional career because of her immaturity and unprofessionalism."

CNN's Ana Cabrera turned the tables on Hogg, informing him that some people think he, in fact, is a bully, to which he responded, "I don't agree with it."

"The Los Angeles Times did some decent digging and found that the advertiser boycott so heralded by the press wasn't really an advertiser boycott that hit Fox News's bottom line.  Most of the advertisers just pulled their ads from the show and shifted them onto other Fox News shows, and within a month's time, after Hogg is old stale news, they may be back.  Ingraham, meanwhile, will return from her vacation and resume broadcasting as normal." . . .  

Scammed by a Black, a Woman, and Now a 17-Year-Old

*Women defend themselves with guns against sexual abuse 200,000 times per year.  Guns are used 80 times more often to save a life than to take a life.  Of the 2,581,268 gun-related incidents each year, 2,549,596 are self-defense.  Only 31,000 are assaults.  American gun-owners kill 1,500 criminals each year.  Police kill 600 criminals annually.

Lloyd Marcus  . . . "Tragically, both women were found by their home invaders.  While she screamed, cried, and begged for her life, the burglar pressed his pistol against one woman's head and pulled the trigger, killing her instantly.  In the second home invasion, the burglar shot the woman over ten times.  She survived and praises God for her miraculous survival.

"In both cases, these women would have had a fighting chance had they been armed.  I asked myself, why on Earth does the American left so passionately want such women disarmed, defenseless, and at the mercy of evil criminals.  With leftists claiming to be extreme advocates for women, desiring to disarm women does not make logical sense.  And yet disarming every law-abiding citizen in America is exactly what leftists are trying to do, campaigning to demonize the NRA and gun-owners." . . .

"My fellow Americans, leftists view you only as pawns.  Your lives are mere tools to use to further their anti-God, anti-freedom, and anti-America agendas.  Leftists are willing to sacrifice your well-being, best interests, and lives to further their extreme causes and ideas.  This is why leftists use everything that happens in life – every accident, every tragic event, even the weather, to move the ball toward their goal."

* Statistics again, and who can trust them? Yet here this writer - and I - use them to promote our cause. His source.

Adults weaponized the Parkland kids, who will ‘lead’ only so long as they’re useful.

David Hogg Isn’t a Bully, His Adult Allies Are

"Let’s begin by stating the obvious. There is not a single American corporation, media entity, or adult activist who actually takes direction from David Hogg or any other Parkland victim. Every single thing they do in response to Hogg’s public comments is done willingly — gleefully, even — because Hogg is their tool. He’s their sword and their shield. He is their excuse for doing exactly what they want to do.

By now we know how this pitiful game works. Hogg, egged on by cheering adults, says vicious, cruel, and often false things about their political opponents, and they cheer all the louder. They love it. They quite obviously can’t get enough of it. In this way, Hogg is an expression of the liberal id, a person who “destroys” the opposition in ways that are far more savage and intended far more personally than anything you’ll see from late-night television.
. . . 
"So, here we are, once again. While advertisers of course have every legal right to boycott, the response to offensive speech in the marketplace of ideas isn’t better speech but rather an effort to use raw economic power to punish your political enemies. Transgress one of the ever-shifting lines of public discourse (even if you apologize), and you’re instantly fighting for your job.

"Hogg isn’t the bully here. His powerful adult allies are. They built this culture. This is the culture of the progressive corporate boardroom, the progressive academy, and all too many sectors of media and the arts. In this culture, Hogg is a weapon to wield so long as he’s useful. He’s the latest in a long line of victims/activists who spend their time as the “face” of an immense movement, pushed forward by the media until that moment when the news cycle moves on, other victims emerge, and other outrages inflame the masses." . . .

Fox News On Ingraham: We Will Not Let Our Voices Be Censored By Agenda-Driven Intimidation Efforts

. . . "Apart from hardcore political junkies, no one’s paying any attention to the Ingraham boycott or which companies are participating. The only exposure most people have probably had to this story is seeing a headline somewhere that Ingraham made fun of Hogg over his college rejections, which is a bad story even if it notes her apology but not so bad that her show will remain forever toxic to corporate America. No surprise Fox is sticking with her." . . .

Maxine Waters: Pictures of Tide Prove Climate Change-Fiction!

Let the left - CNN, for one example - be the only source of fake news

Summary of eRumor:U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, a Democrat from California, tweeted side-by-side pictures of Venice Beach at high and low tide as proof that climate change is real and is impacting California’s coast.

Truth or Fiction "Maxine Waters didn’t tweet these side-by-side pictures of Venice Beach at high and low tide to prove that climate change is having an impact on California beaches.
"The tweet was from a fake Twitter handle in effort to make it appear that Maxine Waters was naive to natural environmental forces, or that she was intentionally trying to misinform people.
"The image shows Venice Beach at high and low tides and includes the caption, “This is Venice Beach, in my district. And these were taken only 6 hours apart! Still think climate change isn’t real?”

CNN mocked for glorifying JFKs ‘legendary’ infidelity after harping on sex allegations against Trump

The Not-CNN News via Drudge.

"CNN was slammed for hypocrisy over the weekend when the network glorified President John F. Kennedy’s many infidelities after spending significant coverage painting President Trump as a monster for an alleged affair that occurred prior to his political career.  

"While promoting “The Kennedys,” CNN hailed the 35th president's “legendary love life,” before asking, “Did one of his affairs connect him with the mob?” The tweet featured video detailing JFK’s relationship with actress Judy Campbell, who was allegedly intimate with the head of the Chicago mafia while also having an affair with the president.

“ 'Hypocrisy at its finest,” one user responded.  

"Author Joshua Kendall responded that “legendary love life” is a poor choice of words because it makes JFK’s infidelity sound “glamorous” and attached a link to a recent Los Angeles Times op-ed headlined, “JFK may have been a worse philanderer than Trump. Does it matter?”

"Daily Caller media reporter Amber Athey quoted CNN’s promotional tweet and wrote, “That’s certainly an interesting way to describe having numerous affairs while president. I think we need to get Anderson Cooper on this to find out if JFK was wearing a condom.”

"After seeing the promo, pundit Stephen Miller sarcastically channeled his inner CNN and asked, “Why does no one take us seriously when we constantly talk about Trump’s behavior with women?”

"Cooper, who is CNN's biggest star, had sat down with both Playboy playmate Karen McDougal and porn actress Stormy Daniels in recent days to ask detailed questions about their alleged affairs with Trump. CNN has spent significant time analyzing all aspects of the alleged affairs including questions about intimate details." . . .

Here is a marvel of CNN's journalistic softballism in this Dan Lothian question to Obama. You can hear someone in the press gaggle loudly enjoying Obama's reply:

CNN is hardly out of your family's hearing wherever you might go

CNN is the world’s foremost news gathering network and it is watched daily in millions of homes, offices, schools and government agencies around the globe. CNN Newsource is the nation’s premier news service, licensed to local news providers throughout the world, so they might utilize news material gathered by CNN to enhance their own newscasts.

Hogg, and the MSM continue their war on conservative opinion

Hogg may have been thrust into the public arena, but he has chosen to wallow in it and exploit it for his own far-left ideological agenda.  Laura Ingraham may have been arguably rude, for which she has apologized.  Yet she is right.  David Hogg is a foul-mouthed whiner and hypocrite who touts his free speech rights while seeking to deny that right to others: . . .    Daniel John Sobieski

A.F. Branco illustrates who's really calling shots on students' anti-gun protests

Boss Hogg and His Ingraham Angle  . . . "Parenthetically, young Mr. Hogg's mother, Rebecca Boldrick, is an ardent anti-Trumper with frequent Facebook posts sliming our 45th president, one of which has a picture of son David sitting at a CNN anchor desk during a studio tour.  It might be assumed that her son started with a similar anti-Trump bias even before the shooting.  You did not hear from Hogg at the recent March for Our Lives, or any other speaker, that neither the march nor the burial of 17  Parkland victims would have been necessary but for the failure of law enforcement agencies to do the jobs assigned to them.

"There is plenty to criticize about David Hogg's actions and statements, yet that is not permitted.  Hogg is permitted to slander and slime anybody from the president on down.  If you disagree with him, blood is on your hands.  But don't dare mock one of his tweets, as Fox News host Laura Ingraham did.  The tragedy at Parkland has somehow transformed Hogg into an oracle we must honor and worship even as he ironically seeks to transform America into a gun-free zone.  In a rhetorical sense, he has become bullet-proof:" . . .

. . . "Then there was the case of Hunter Pollack, another Parkland massacre survivor, whose sister Meadow was murdered in the killing spree - he was denied a speaking slot and shut out at the March for our Lives, because his views weren't deemed worthy of the big-dollar leftwing organizers who put the event on, despite being far closer to the horror that happened, than either Hogg or his sidekick, Emma Gonzalez. both of whom got prime speaking slots. Kashuv was denied, too." . . .

If Fox News cancels Laura Ingraham, it might as well close the network

Long after David Hogg’s fame has faded, attempts to deplatform conservatives and destroy Fox News will continue

"There is an all out assault in progress trying to drive Laura Ingraham off television and radio, led by Parkland student and newly-minted media star David Hogg.

"Ingraham is a target, superficially, because she mocked Hogg as a whiner in a tweet after he publicly griped that several colleges had rejected him. On the scale of internet insults, saying that someone is “whining” doesn’t even register it’s so mild.

"I don’t believe for a second that any of the outrage against Ingraham is actually a result of what she said. It’s all contrived, or the result of pressure, and part of a political power play.

"Certainly, what Ingraham said doesn’t come close to the vile accusations regularly made by Hogg against people who disagree with him on gun control. Hogg is so fundamentalist and absolutist that all his opponents are reduced to demons in his rhetoric.

 . . . 

"Hogg is the excuse to try to deplatform Ingraham, but he’s not the reason. The reason this is happening is that groups like Media Matters have fought a decade-long battle to deplatform conservatives in media by pressuring advertisers.

"I explored the history and tactics in my April 19, 2017 post, Here’s why Rush survived pressure on advertisers while O’Reilly didn’t:" . . .

It’s not about Laura Ingraham or David Hogg — it’s about an unhinged and emboldened totalitarian movement that seeks to deplatform conservatives. Their primary target for a decade has been Fox News, which is the one non-liberal network in a sea of liberal major media.
Sacrificing Laura Ingraham won’t satiate the beast. If Fox News cancels Laura Ingraham over this faux outrage about her tweet, then Fox News might as well close the network. 

Il Papa, just what DO you believe?

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

When asked about “bad souls,” the pope reportedly said the souls of unrepentant sinners simply vanish after death and are not subject to eternal damnation, a deviation from scriptural teaching.
“They are not punished. Those who repent obtain the forgiveness of God and enter the rank of souls who contemplate him,” Pope Francis said, according to a translation by Rorate Caeli. "But those who do not repent, and cannot therefore be forgiven, disappear.
“There is no hell,” he allegedly continued. “There is the disappearance of sinful souls.”

So the terrorist or gang-banger who says "Live how you want now because after this life there is nothing" would be absolutely right? 
Nazi killers of Jews simply vanish just like the other ordinary schlubs who rejected the gift of life as Christ offered, right?

Vatican Rejects Atheist Interviewer's Claim That Pope Denied Existence of Hell
"The Roman Catholic Church has released a statement denying widely circulated claims that Pope Francis recently denied the existence of Hell.
"Eugenio Scalfari, a 93-year-old atheist philosopher, claimed in statements published by La Repubblica that Francis had told him in a conversation that "Hell does not exist" and that "those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear."
"Despite the news being circulated by many websites and blogs, including the widely read Drudge Report, the Vatican has since denied that the pontiff said these specific things.
"In a statement released Thursday, the Holy See stated in a communique the quotes reported by Scalfari was his own "reconstruction" and not the exact words of Francis.
" 'What is reported by the author in today's article is the result of his reconstruction, in which the literal words pronounced by the Pope are not quoted," said the Holy See, as quoted by the Catholic News Agency." . . .

Yeah? Then what about this?

"During his appearance on CNN (naturally!) on Saturday, Hogg was read the tweet and asked what his thoughts on it were.
"He responded:

“I don't agree with it. Just like Laura, she can have her opinion, he can have his. It's up to them, but I don't agree with it personally.”

When asked if Hogg would accept Ingraham's invitation back onto his show to have a “productive discussion,” Hogg stated that he would only consider it if she “apologizes to all the people she has hurt throughout her professional career.”

UPDATE #2:  Progressive Insurance Joins the Ad Boycott of Laura Ingraham's Show
No, Flo! Say it ain't so!  Well, it is called "Progressive", I guess.

Nor is he going to win on his personally motivated boycott against Ingraham, who has been classy and contrite.  Already a counter-boycott, called #IStandWithLaura, has been launched, targeted at the advertisers Hogg got to jump through his hoops.

Will Hogg ask us to boycott the colleges that rejected him?

Monica Showalter  "Laura Ingraham apologized for a rude tweet about David Hogg's inability to get into the college of his choice, and, as may be expected of someone who's demonstrated both childishness and leftism, he refused to graciously accept, opportunistically coming up instead with a counter-demand for more apologies on unrelated matters, ahead of yet another counter-demand for more groveling if Ingraham were to be naïve enough to follow that, which I trust she won't.

"It was done with Hogg's full knowledge that his "friend ("asking for a friend"), who "wanted" and probably came up with the swift list of Ingraham's advertisers, had begun pulling ads from Ingraham's Fox News show.  At least a dozen of them pulled out in a show of solidarity for Hogg's hurt feelings over his inability to get into the college of his choice.

"The immaturity shown here sends a signal now to the public as to why he otherwise inexplicably didn't get into the college of his choice.  Can you see how this guy would act if he didn't get the grade of his choice from his professor at one of these places if he somehow were to be allowed in?  What if he didn't get the girlfriend of his choice, or the dorm of his choice, or the honors roll of his choice, or the school paper's editor job?  It would be logical to infer that he'd be out calling for boycotts of the school from the school's donors if he didn't get the whatever of his choice.  How much easier it would be to just grow up and be a man about the whole thing, starting with the admissions rejections.  It might impress a few admissions committees." . . .

Sadly, President Trump Is Not the Inventor of Governor Brown's Latest Nickname   . . . "The line stems from Gov. Brown’s plan for a satellite over

California in 1976 when he was running for governor at the time. The idea was outrageous due to limitations in technology and cost. Still, the idea is ludicrous considering the extraordinary amount of debt California is in. But, back then a Chicago journalist decided to call Brown "Gov. Moonbeam" to highlight his far out there ideas.

From the LA Times: 

"In 1976, a Chicago newspaper columnist wrote that Jerry Brown would get "the moonbeam vote."

The writer was Mike Royko, who then started referring to the then-38-year-old Brown as "Gov. Moonbeam." Royko was suggesting that Brown was attracting California's New Age crowd. 

Brown was a strong supporter of space exploration and many of the earliest statewide green initiatives. Yet he also gained a reputation as a fiscal conservative, refusing many perks that came with the governorship. . . .
