70 VIOLENT ACTS OF MEDIA INSPIRED TRUMP HATE

Maxine Waters Slammed After Kino Jimenez Is Accused of Assaulting a Trump Fan  But being a leftist she remains bulletproof, legally speaking.
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters said.
The list below does not include this recent jewel.



. . . "Richard, who lives in Orlando but was in San Antonio visiting friends, was thrust into the spotlight Wednesday after a video of the assault went viral on social media, racking up millions of views and thousands of comments."
More here.
And this CNN commentator thinks it's all just fine. Well, Waters defended the videotaped assaulters of Reginald Denny during the Rodney King riots.

Democrats leaving the Party in droves as #WalkAway campaign gains real momentum

California Political News And Views  "While the media is paying up a few naysayers in the GOP they are missing what might be a bigger story—the implosion of the Democrat party.  That party is torn between revolution/resistance and totalitarianism vs. freedom and liberal government.  For the first time the #WalkAway movement has come to public exposure.

“A movement to abandon liberalism and the Democratic Party has gained some serious traction after a video featuring a gay New York hairdresser went viral.

“ 'Once upon a time, I was a liberal. Well, to be honest, less than a year ago, I was still a liberal,” Brandon Straka said in the video seen by some five million people on Facebook and YouTube that ignited the #WalkAway campaign.
“ 'I reject a system which allows an ambitious, misinformed and dogmatic mob to suppress free speech, create false narratives, and apathetically steamroll over the truth,” he declared in the video. “I reject hate.”
"Brandon got it right—the modern Democrat Party is based on fear hate and bigotry, not equal rights or a free society—it is the nanny State on steroids—a Russia on the North American continent.  Russian collusion—that is the modern Democrat Party and honest Democrats are running from the corruption, tyranny and hatred of the Pelosi, Warren, Harris version of a political Party.
"Pass this along to your Democrat friends, let them know they too can say No to hate, violence and bigotry.  Join the Democrat #WalkAway movement.  Think CNN will report on this?  LOL" . . .

Founder of #WalkAway Campaign Brandon Straka ABUSED by Leftists at NYC Camera Shop

The Gateway Pundit


"The #WalkAway campaign began on Facebook after a handsome, gay hairdresser from New York named Brandon Straka posted a video last month explaining why he was walking away from the Democrat party.


"People are leaving the Democrat party in droves because all they have to offer is violence, intolerance, divisiveness and hatred.
"Brandon Straka’s videos are so popular that he is beginning to get recognized in public.
"On Thursday, Brandon Straka went into a camera shop to purchase some new supplies when he was abused by leftists working there; they recognized him and refused him service.
"This type of hatred and discrimination is precisely why Brandon Straka began the #WalkAway campaign in the first place.
"Brandon Straka tweeted: I’m shaking right now. I just went into a camera store to buy a camera and a light and mic, etc. and they recognized me from tv. I was refused service because they said it was for “alt right” purposes. That literally just happened.
I’m shaking right now. I just went into a camera store to buy a camera and a light and mic, etc. and they recognized me from tv. I was refused service because they said it was for “alt right” purposes. That literally just happened.
"Straka said he will not let what happened to him today slow him down. “We will prevail.”

Auntie Maxine and her district

Never Forget Maxine Waters Embraced the Thug Who Slammed Concrete on Reginald Denny’s Head  . . . "The leader of the mob that nearly murdered Reginald Denny was called Damien Williams.

"Maxine Waters visited Damien Williams’ mother to offer her support. Williams was sent to prison on a single felony charge of mayhem, but when his accomplices got off, Waters joined in the celebration.

"Damien Williams was released a few years later and went on to murder somebody else in 2000. He is still in prison today serving out a 46-year sentence.

"Waters did not learn a thing from the experience. She went on to describe the LA Race Riots as, quote, “a rebellion, and in ways understandable.” Including, apparently, the part about smashing people’s brains in for being the wrong color. 

"Yep, that’s the Democratic Party’s new expert on race relations.

"She’s the Democrat Party’s new “rock star”. She’s Auntie Maxine, the moral authority of the Party. This is the woman who doesn’t even live in the hellhole she’s been responsible for over the past three decades. She lives in a nearby mansion." . . .


Waters then danced with notorious gang members when Williams was released from prison  . . . "Maxine Waters’ constituents are sick and tired of her antics. Known as the “poverty pimp,” Waters district encompasses areas that are infested with deadly gangs, and it’s so bad that she lives outside of her district." . . .

Kamala Harris' July 4 Reminder: 'It Was Eight IMMIGRANTS Who Signed the Declaration of Independence'

Socio-Political-Journal...
"Another Moron for President. There were no Immigrants, they were Colonists."..tmiraldi

Sen. Kamala Harris, California Democrat, ignited fireworks on social media by stating in a Fourth of July tweet that the Declaration of Independence was signed by “eight immigrants.”
“A reminder this Fourth of July: it was eight immigrants who signed the Declaration of Independence. Happy Independence Day,” said Ms. Harris, whose message was echoed by others."
The Declaration of Independence had 56 signers, eight of whom were born in Great Britain: Two each born in England, Ireland and Scotland; one born in Northern Ireland, and one born in Wales, according to History.com." . . .

Rush Limbaugh: My Questions for Kamala Harris  . . . "But here’s a question for Kamala Harris. Do you fully embrace a political document written and signed by privileged white guys? Because that’s who they were. Here you are out there talking about how great the Declaration of Independence is, we gotta celebrate it, but you don’t like privileged white guys, if I listen to you day in and day out.
"Also, Senator Harris, do you agree with this: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Notice which one is first there. Life. “That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
"Senator, do you agree our rights are unalienable because they come from God, or do you believe, like other brain-dead leftists, that rights come from government? Do you think government’s powers derive from the consent of the governed, i.e., voters? Or do you think it comes from the Supreme Court?

"I mean, if she embraces the Declaration, that’s great. I just don’t hear her, day in and day out, talk like she much understands it. Or that she supports it as she understands it."
Do you want her for president?

Sen. Kamala Harris’s claim that an ‘undocumented immigrant is not a criminal’
“If you’re looking at it from the pure legalistic perspective, then she is right to some extent, that simply being here without legal status is not a crime. It doesn’t make you a criminal,” said David Bier, immigration policy expert at the libertarian Cato Institute. “But many undocumented immigrants have committed criminal violations of immigration law, and there’s nothing wrong with pointing that out. There’s no discord between saying that, and that you think that we should provide a pathway to citizenship, in order to allow them to live here without having to break the law.”
Two Pinocchios for Harris from the WaPo 



No longer the Hollywood of James Stewart, Clark Gable

Tony Branco
Big Hollywood  "Hollywood stars took to social media to send messages of doom, gloom, and resistance to President Donald Trump in honor of Independence Day.

“To every country on the 4th of July. We’re sorry about our president. He doesn’t reflect all of our views — and we hope you know that the majority of us are ashamed,” wrote former Netflix talk show host Chelsea Handler. “We will rally each other and come back to the world one step at a time. #novemberiscoming #alsosorryabouthotdogs.” . . .
Flashback: July 4th, When Hollywood Was Patriotic

"The Hollywood Victory Committee was an organization founded on December 10, 1941 during World War II to provide a means for stage, screen, television and radio performers that were not in military service to contribute to the war effort through bond drives and improving morale for troops. " . . .
. . . 
"Clark Gable, the first chairman of the Hollywood Victory Committee, encouraged his fellow actors to not only support the war effort with their talents but to actively join the military. Clark Gable, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Stewart lead by example and enlisted. Jimmy Stewart joined the Army Air Force Corps as a private and was eventually promoted to lieutenant colonel. Stewart would become a brigadier general . Hollywood stars also raised money and support for the war by participating, entertaining and selling war bonds. Actor Audie Murphy would become the most decorated war veteran of the war. Hollywood was clearly leading the way in supporting World War II through the leadership of the Hollywood Victory Committee." . . .

The Hollywood Canteen where Movie Stars were at your Service



Woman who scaled the Statue of Liberty is a Congolese immigrant and personal trainer, 44,

 . . . "who was arrested last year for assaulting a cop and 'attends one anti-Trump protest every week' "


 UK Daily Mail  "The woman who climbed the Statue of Liberty on Independence Day has been revealed to be a Congolese immigrant, 44, who was arrested last year for assaulting a cop at a protest and is said to attend one anti-Trump demonstration a week.

"Therese Okoumou, 44, was snatched by police at 6.30pm after two-hours perched on the 89-feet-high pedestal of the New York Harbor monument wearing a t-shirt that said 'Rise and Resist' on one side and 'Trump Care Makes Us Sick' on the other. 

"Okoumou lives in Staten Island and arrived from the Democratic Republic of Congo 10 years ago. She is highly active in anti-Trump demonstrations and a member of Rise and Resist, which unfurled an 'abolish ICE' banner before her climb.

"The personal trainer was arrested in August 2017 for trespassing and obstruction of government administration during a demonstration at the New York Department of Labor, reported the New York Daily News.

"Okoumou was also charged with misdemeanor assault after striking an officer with her foot while flailing on the ground in an attempt to avoid being put into an ambulance." . . .

Let's give credit where it is due: Trump and Jordan Peterson are the greats for this revolution we are experiencing.

How can this be with academia and media trying to mold millennials and their society in the virulently opposite direction?
[JordanPeterson] has, without intent, caused a quiet revolution in the cultural sphere of the world.  He has brought the Millennial male out of the prison of the über-feminists.  He has brought sanity to the gender confusion movement.  He has destroyed the strongholds of "privilege."  He has – gasp! – defended Western civilization readily, and effectively, without even calling it our last, best hope.
Jordan Peterson. Gage Skidmore photo
Jordan Peterson, the one after Trump is the main subject here  
The culture on the center-right had been in turmoil for more than a decade.  George W. Bush had become a huge disappointment, betraying his base.  Barack Obama had eight years of destructive policies, virtually unopposed by the Republican Party "stalwarts."  He could have done a lot more damage than he did.  Thank God that Barack was somewhat feckless and incompetent.

 . . . "Think about this: last week's shock poll from Reuters showed a massive swing in the way Millennials want to vote.  The swing showed that this slice of the voting population has changed from massive (D) support to support that's evenly divided between the two parties.  Blacks, Hispanics, and women are changing likewise.  All demographics are moving toward supporting Trump despite the massive lies of our media.

"That's cultural change.
"The other leader to note, is not particularly political.  He is, oddly enough, Canadian.  He's taught at Ivy League schools.  He's a clinical psychologist and teaches in Toronto.  He gives two-hour, somewhat stodgy intellectual lectures that get three quarters of a million likes.
"I don't hold any of that against him.  Neither should you.
We are watching an amazing miracle.  A cultural transformation.  We do not see it clearly yet – it's far from over, but it's really happening.  America has become great again, changing in the most positive of ways.  Yes, there is a violent, loud, crazy left that has its media slaves trying to convince all of us we are in horrible times.  And thankfully, the rest of the country is simply reveling in the positive change of the culture in spite of them.
 Looks like Peterson is more effective than we thought. Campuses are banning him.

Collusion is fine as long as it is Democrats committing it



Rich Terrell


"Was it simply because he wasn’t President Trump?
"To be clear, ace investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson does not believe the sometimes cozy contacts between the Obama administration and Moscow amounted to collusion, but, she observed, “under the definition currently used by Trump critics, it would be.”
"In other words, if the media had applied the same standards to Obama that it is applying to Trump, they should have gone after the former president for collusion with Russia. Probably Iran, too.

"The 5-time Emmy award winning reporter and host of the Sunday show “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson” spelled out her reasoning in a series of incisive insights she shared with WND." . . .

Obama’s Iran Deal Makes Trump’s Russia ‘Collusion’ Look Like Child’s Play
. . . "Empowering terrorist groups. Paying ransom that emboldened our enemies to kidnap Americans. Creating an echo chamber that undermined a free press. Releasing spies, terrorists, and criminals who assisted not only our enemy and her terrorist proxies, but Russia as well. In the Iran deal, we have clear-cut case of the United States handing over extensive concessions to a nation that openly aimed to destabilize our interests, attack our allies, and kill our people — for nothing in return. It’s worse than anything we know about “Russian collusion.' ” . . .

Feinstein Democrats will Bork Amy Coney Barrett as 'too Catholic'

Now the only big question that concerns Feinstein, and the Feinstein Democrats, is how to destroy a decent, intelligent woman because she is Catholic and will be nominated by Trump.  The only acceptable Catholics to the Feinsteins are the Biden, Teddy Kennedy, Pelosi, and Cuomo political types, who will do anything to win an election.  The modern Democratic Party has sold its history and its soul to get votes by supporting the killing of the unborn.
To "Bork".

J. Marsolo  "The Democratic Party, controlled primarily by the leftist media, is out to destroy Amy Coney Barrett, one of the finalists to be appointed by President Trump to the U.S. Supreme Court.  Her sin is that she has nine children, two adopted, and is a member of a charismatic ecumenical group including Catholics and Protestants.  Because of this, the Dems and media believe she would vote to overrule Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which established the constitutional right to an abortion, if the issue arises.

"One irony is that Governor Robert Casey, a pro-life Catholic, signed the Pennsylvania law restricting abortion that was challenged by Planned Parenthood.  Casey was barred by Bill and Hillary Clinton from speaking at the 1992 Democratic Convention because of his pro-life views.
"Senator Dianne Feinstein started the attack during the confirmation hearing on September 2017 of Barrett to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit by stating:
Why is it that so many of us on this side have this very uncomfortable feeling that — you know, dogma and law are two different things.  And I think whatever a religion is, it has its own dogma.  The law is totally different.  And I think in your case, professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you, and that's of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for years in this country.
. . .
. . . "This was again trotted out in 1960, when JFK ran." . . .

Dems on SCOTUS: Catholics Need Not Apply:
"Let us hope so. The Bible, the same one liberals are waving lately, says Christians, and Catholics, are the light of the world and are to place their light, not under a bushel, but on a nightstand where the light can lead all to the ultimate truth. It is unlikely Feinstein would tell a Muslim nominee, “The Sharia dogma lives loudly within you.' ”
Deciding a case per "religious dogma" is bad, but deciding a constitutional issue by Democrat dogma is apparently good.

President Trump's Independence Day Message to America

What Motivates Mass Murderers


The coded message in the latest arrest of a maniac wanting to shoot up a newsroom;   . . . "Schildkraut spoke at a recent conference on gun violence and the failure of gun control, put on by the American Freedom Alliance in Los Angeles last May, called "School Shootings: Facts, Fallacies, Freedom and the Future." Showing lots of evidence, Schildkraut said it was worth it to keep shooters' names out of the paper. "There's a 12-day window, when we are most likely to see copycats," she said. "She wasn't the only one who thought this, either. AFA linked to a Mother Jones (of all places) article that explored the same proposal, which in any case is a more workable than actual gun control. Schildkraut's proposal, while it seemed farfetched to many, didn't sound much different from the press routinely keeping rape victims' names out of the paper. Schildkraut was so convinced of the importance of this she leds a group called 'No Notoriety' which advocates that the media not publish the names of these maniacs as a means of keeping other killers from activating themselves. According to one study, as many as 30% of mass shootings are copycats triggered by these two factors ... fame prospects, and the 12-day window.
"Schildkraut explained that mass shooters are often motivated by the 'notoriety' element and love the "wall to wall coverage" which magnifies the perception of a threat. For a zero such as a mass shooter, it's thrilling to go from zero to hero so instantly. Then, once jailed, they get mooning letters from lovestruck girls and women, who have some fixation on the creepy, revolting convict, which excites them even more. " . . .

Mass Murderers Should Be Deprived of Fame
. . . "The more their names are known the more likely they are to inspire imitators pursuing similar recognition. A 26-year-old man who killed nine people on a college campus in Oregon in 2015 had previously written of another killer: "A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. ... Seems the more people you kill, the more you're in the limelight.' " . . .

What Motivates Mass Murderers  
. . . "Is this a believable motive? Unfortunately, it is. Indeed, the goal of a high body count is nothing new at all. Many mass killers are clearly vying for fame, and not just any shooting will do. They know very well that the more people they kill, the more the world will hear about their deeds. The Newtown killer presumably picked this target also because the horror of killing small children would further add to the media attention.
