Protesters Throw Feces at L.A. Kosher Cafe Because Owner Supports Trump

Legal Insurrection

“It was very scary,” said Shalom’s daughter Yael.”

"Asher Shalom is a legal immigrant from Israel and businessman who employs many immigrants. He recently opened a new cafe in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles. Locals and the business community were welcoming until it became known that Shalom had shared something on social media which showed support for Trump’s immigration policies." . . .

Whoopi Goldberg Hearts MS-13 Killers

Daniel John Sobieski  "Well, at least Whoopi Goldberg didn't hold up a mock severed head representing President Trump, but her verbal equivalent in profanely chastising guest Judge Jeanine Pirro shows how President Trump's greatest accomplishment may be in pulling back the curtain and letting us see what delusional loons have been manipulating public opinion in this country as part of their attempt to fundamentally transform America into something resembling Berkeley, California – a sanctuary country full of defecating homeless people.

"Somewhat lost in the virulent exchange was Whoopi's gross distortion of reality, following Saul Alinksy's rule that you don't debate your opponents – you demonize them and make it personal:

'Did you just point at me?  I don't have Trump derangement, let me tell you what I have,' Goldberg shot back.  'I am tired of people starting a conversation with, "Mexicans are liars and rapists." ...

Goldberg and Pirro then got into a screaming match, with Pirro declaring: 'You know what's horrible?  When people who shouldn't be here end up murdering children of American citizens.' 

"Pirro was speaking of MS-13 rapists and murderers who sneak in among the great unwashed flooding along our porous southern border, along with minors they want to recruit into their community of butchers.  It is hard to see what Goldberg was speaking of, since neither Pirro or Trump ever has started a conversation that way.  All they have done is point out that our open borders provide a highway unlikely to be patronized by doctoral candidates or computer engineers. 

"Has Whoopi Goldberg heard of Nisa Mickens and Kayla Cuevas?  They are two teenage girls violently separated from their families by MS-13 thugs who should not have been in this country:" . . .

Socialist Darling Makes A Rather Embarrassing Mistake

americanthinker.com

Via Weasel Zippers  "Freudian slip, she obviously thinks ‘red’ refers to far-left/socialist.

"Via Daily Caller:

"Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made an unfortunate slip during a campaign stop with Sen. Bernie Sanders on behalf of Kansas Democratic Congressional candidate Brent Welder Friday.

“Hello everybody,” Occasio-Cortez said on a video posted to Sanders’ Twitter account Friday evening. “I’m so excited to be hopping on here on Senator Sanders’ account. We’re here in Kansas City to rally for Brent Welder. We’re gonna flip this seat red in November.”

Thomas Lifson has much to say about this as well: Ocasio-Cortez embarrasses herself (and her backers) again  . . . "Are there people behind her candidacy, who spotted a comely young Hispanic woman who could become the next Obama, all style with the substance supplied by another Valerie Jarrett?

"Ocasio-Cortez was seized upon as a symbol of a rising left, and now she threatens to embarrass her backers.  Or worse."

Now, this is what is usually meant by "red":

I cannot say which wizard of smart assigned these political party colors as they did. TD

"Did Ocasio-Cortez mean flip a Red seat to Blue, or did she mean flip the Congressional seat Red, as in Communist Red? You be the judge.

Either way, Twitter was amused:

Stephen Miller

✔@redsteeze

“We’re going to flip this seat red in November.”
Not sure if gaffe or Freudian slip

Bernie Sanders

✔@BernieSanders

Here in Kansas City with @Ocasio2018 to support @BrentWelder and flip this seat in November.

Rep. Keith Ellison Slams Amazon for Selling 'Hate Group' Merchandise

This is troubling in these days when just opposing a political leader-at present this would be a leftist figure- would place one in the list of hate speech. Wouldn't anyone stating that they find Maxine Waters contemptible be considered guilty of hate speech. What about a white person who wants to run against Waters? Look how John McCain was handcuffed in his run against Obama. TD

Fortune  "Prime Day is here, but Amazon is facing backlash for selling merchandise promoted by known hate groups. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) sent a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Tuesday, voicing concerns about the company’s income from such items.
“ 'I would like to know whether Amazon is committed to ceasing the sale of all products that promote hateful and racist ideologies,” wrote Ellison. “For a company with a policy prohibiting the sale of ‘products that promote or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual, or religious intolerance or promote organizations with such views,’ there appear to be a disturbing number of groups with hateful, racist, and violent agendas making money using Amazon’s platform.” . . .

Click on each symbol to see what group is listed. There are those who may well be thus, but some you will find include those concerned with terrorism such as radical Islam

How do I read the hate map?

"The SPLC hate map depicts the approximate locations of hate group chapters. The location of a chapter in no way implies that local government officials or residents endorse the beliefs of the group. Quite often, they don’t know it is there. This year’s hate map is also available in text format sorted by state and by ideology, and in CSV format. Data from previous years is available for download in Excel format."

This list was compiled using hate group publications and websites, individual and law enforcement reports, field sources and news reports. Groups that appear in the center of states represent statewide groups.

In fairness the map also lists associations with the following:

". . . A leading example of a black nationalist group is the Nation of Islam led by Louis Farrakhan. He has never backed away from the group’s fundamental tenets, espoused by the group’s previous leader, Elijah Mohammed, that white people are  inherently evil — that they are "blue-eyed devils."

Nickki Haley ends a 7-year war

Anyone else notice the pattern of peace in this administration?

Don Surber  "South Sudan is 12 million people, mainly Christian, who broke away from Sudan and its Sharia Law to form their own country in 2011. Violence has plagued it since as it is embroiled in a civil war. Nikki Haley championed South Sudan's cause.

"Less than a week ago, she got the United Nations to impose an arms embargo. The Washington Post was alarmed.

" 'U.N. Security Council imposes arms embargo on South Sudan, despite concerns it might jeopardize peace process," Siobhán O'Grady reported on July 13 because anything proposed by the Trump administration must be immoral and wrong.

"That an American ambassador to the UN achieved anything in that anti-American body is a near miracle.

" 'On Friday, following years of discussions over how to slow down the conflict in the war-torn country, the U.N. Security Council narrowly passed an arms embargo against South Sudan. Haley pushed through the U.S.-drafted resolution, which also places a travel ban and asset freeze on the former South Sudanese army chief and a current deputy defense chief," O'Grady reported.

"Akshaya Kumar, deputy U.N. director at Human Rights Watch, said, "It’s a huge day and a real reason for South Sudanese who have been under attack for so long to celebrate."

"So what happened?

"Peace broke out." . . .

A Guardian of the Galaxy joins the Trump Schadenfreude List

Schadenfreude; Noun: pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.

Drop the gunn!

Don Surber  "Today we add to the Trump Schadenfreude List one James Gunn, director of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" series of movies from comic books.
"Make that ex.
"Now Gunn all along mocked President Trump and called him Hitler. Typical Hollywood conformist trying to fit in with the In Crowd.
"Then last month, Gunn went bonkers when The Donald hosted families of the victims of murders by illegal aliens. President Trump even autographed photographs of the victims at the request of their survivors.
"Gunn took to Twitter.
" 'I don’t know why I’m so surprised he autographed those photos. You KNOW Trump wakes up every morning hoping more kids are murdered by immigrants so it will help him in the polls," Gunn tweeted.
"Tweety Pie crossed the line.
"The Daily Caller looked at his tweets, and filed a report, "After Attacking Conservatives, Disney Filmmaker’s Tweets Reveal Racism, Homophobia and Assault Against Children."
"He said they were jokes.
"Disney didn't laugh." . . .

Democrat Ladies of the Lie

Brian C. Joondeph  "Oh!  What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive," warned Sir Walter Scott.  That's a good warning that falls on deaf ears among the leading ladies of the Democrats who have a penchant for telling tall tales about their pasts.  Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren are now joined by new saviors from the left, Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

'The "new rising star" of the Donkeys, according to Newsweek, Ocasio-Cortez unseated ten-term Democrat incumbent Joe Crowley in the recent New York City primary.  Crowley is part of the Democrat establishment, a creature of the bipartisan D.C. swamp inhabited by career politicians from both sides of the political aisle.  Ocasio-Cortez also has her eyes on the biggest prize of all, the White House, according to her own mother.

'The self-proclaimed working-class "girl from the Bronx" actually grew up in Westchester County, New York, one of the ten wealthiest counties in the U.S.  It's also the county Bill and Hillary Clinton now call home.  She lived there from age 5 through her high school graduation and was even registered to vote there until 2016." . . .

'Across the country in California, in another liberal enclave, is another such lady, Senator Kamala Harris.  She is another up and coming socialist in the modern Democratic Party, "[s]tarting to make the right moves for 2020," according to the Huffington Post.  She recently told some tall tales about her past.

"She tweeted, in response to the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination, that hers was only the second class in the Berkeley public schools to integrate.

. . . 

"Implying that a Justice Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court would automatically bring back slavery and segregation, she seems to be suggesting that confirming Kavanaugh to the high court will prevent anyone of color from becoming a lawyer or a member of Congress.

"Unfortunately for her, the truth lies far removed from her tweet.  Photos from the Berkeley yearbook from 1963, a year before Harris was even born, shows that the school was already integrated.  Oops."

. . . 

"As to the lack of integration preventing a black student becoming a lawyer, she should take a closer look at the same Supreme Court she is so worried about.  Justice Clarence Thomas was the only black student at his high school in Savannah, Georgia.  From his hardly integrated high school, he went to Holy Cross, Yale, and eventually the U.S. Supreme Court.  If he could become a lawyer, Senator Harris's fears are unwarranted, not to mention her premise being a lie." . . .

"Speaking of Hillary Clinton, she is last but certainly not least of the Democrat ladies of the lie. " . . .

"The other Democrat ladies of the lie are well known.  Both have ties to the U.S. Senate and are or were once considered presidential hopefuls.  Elizabeth Warren, or, as President Trump mockingly refers to her, Pocahontas, lied about her American Indian heritage in order to secure a faculty position at Harvard and subsequent recognition as a "minority faculty member."  She sticks to her claim to this day – all based on her high cheekbones and vague family tales her grandparents told her.

. . . 

"What compels these ladies to lie about their childhoods?  Is it insecurity, or are they playing into identity politics, standard operating procedure for Democrats?  In the age of the internet and instant fact-checking information, it's foolish to make claims that are so easily checked and refuted.

"Politicians are given a wide berth for hyperbole on the campaign trail, but obvious lies come home to roost, as they have for these prominent Democrat presidential wannabes and ladies of the lie." . . . Full article here.

Hollywood Will Tolerate No Tolerance (or Tweets)  "Filmmaker Mark Duplass tweets kindly toward Ben Shapiro, and is forced to repent and call Shapiro a racist homophobe.

"Mark Duplass is an up and coming filmmaker and actor. On July 10, he tweeted his intention to "perform one random, tiny act of kindness each day for the next 365 days." So far, so good. Liberals can be kind, right?

"Then, Wednesday, he tweeted "Fellow liberal: If you are interested at all in ‘crossing the aisle’ you should consider following @BenShapiro. I don’t agree with him on much but he’s a genuine person who once helped me for no other reason than to be nice. He doesn’t bend the truth. His intentions are good." (The tweet has since been deleted.)

"Variety called that tweet "controversial." As if calling another human being genuine and thanking them for being nice is a controversial act. "Nice" is controversial unless the person has been vetted by the Hollywood Church of Liberalism." . . .

Backlash: Public Outraged Over Art Gallery’s Violent Anti-Trump Window Display  . . . "They’ve had some of the more notable ISIS marches/riots since Trump’s inauguration, whose peaceful tactics including hurling bricks from the roofs of buildings.

John Brennan Moves from Charges of Treason to Fomenting Rebellion

Brennan also swore that he did not know who commissioned the anti-Trump research document (excerpt here), even though senior national security and counterintelligence officials at the Justice Department and FBI knew the previous year that the dossier was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Independent Sentinel  "The former [?] Communist and CIA Director John Brennan called Trump’s remarks at a press conference with Putin in Helsinki “treasonous” and he is not letting up on his attack. He is now urging the Intelligence community to “withhold vital intelligence”, ostensibly to protect information. That is the new line of attack — Trump is sharing secrets with Putin.

"Make no mistake, the former . . . Communist is recommending a mutiny over a few inartful comments made by the President which he has since explained.

The Washington Times reported that Brennan made the comments in a private meeting.

“Dan Coats and Gina Haspel need to be on top of their game now and speak truth to power,” he said, referring to Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and CIA Director Gina Haspel. “And make sure Trump doesn’t get away with this.”

"Brennan also suggested the President gave away secrets during the meeting with Putin since Putin and Trump met in private. It wasn’t exactly private since the translators were present." . . .

Politifact: Brennan has openly confirmed voting for a Communist Party candidate for president in 1976. But the DeSantis campaign did not provide evidence that he was a card-carrying party member, and we did not find any.


Brennan called Jerusalem by its Arab name: A-'Quds"

. . . And, in all my travels the city I have come to love most is al-Quds, Jerusalem where three great faiths come together.”

Controversial (inartful?) comments by CIA director nominee John Brennan

• . . . During a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, called jihad a "legitimate tenet of Islam." 
• Brennan argued that it would be "counterproductive" for the United States to use the term, as it would "play into the false perception" that the "murderers" leading war against the West are doing so in the name of a "holy cause."   
• He said: "Nor do we describe our enemy as 'jihadists' or 'Islamists' because jihad is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam, meaning to purify oneself or one's community, and there is nothing holy or legitimate or Islamic about murdering innocent men, women and children."

Obama Attacks Wealthy For Big Houses Before Returning to His $8 Million Mansion

Daily Caller

Obama continued on income inequality, saying, “History shows that societies which tolerate vast differences in wealth feed resentments and reduce solidarity and actually grow more slowly. And when economic power is concentrated in the hands of the few, history also shows that political power is sure to follow and that dynamic eats away at democracy.”
After the speech calling for rich people to get smaller houses, Obama traveled back to America and to his $8.1 million eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half bathroom mansion in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the world.

"At a recent speech in South Africa, former President Barack Obama criticized wealth inequality, saying those who have more money should share their earnings with the less fortunate.

“ 'Right now, I’m actually surprised by how much money I got,” Obama said of the more than $20 million he earned between 2005 and 2016.

"Obama then chided wealthy individuals for excess, saying, “There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have. There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough.”

“ 'We’re going to have to worry about economics if we want to get democracy back on track,” Obama continued “We’re going to have to consider new ways of thinking about these problems, like a universal income, review of our workweek, how we retrain our young people, how we make everybody an entrepreneur at some level.' ” . . .

Obama's leftist friends have some pretty nice digs.

Did The FBI Ignore Evidence That A 'Foreign Entity' Hacked Clinton's Emails?

Rich Terrell

Investors.com  . . . "Here's the eye-opening exchange between Gohmert and Strzok (you can watch the exchange on C-SPAN):

Gohmert: You said earlier in this hearing you were concerned about a hostile foreign power affecting the election. Do you recall the former Intelligence Community Inspector General Chuck McCullough having an investigation into an anomaly found on Hillary Clinton's emails?

. . .

Gohmert:   He went on the explain it. And you didn't say anything, you thanked him, you shook his hand. The problem is it was going to an unauthorized source that was a foreign entity unrelated to Russia and from what you've said here, you did nothing more than nod and shake the man's hand when you didn't seem to be all that concerned about our national integrity of our election when it was involving Hillary Clinton. So the forensic examination was done by the ICIG — and they can document that — but you were given that information and you did nothing with it.

"So, in short, one of the lead investigators in the Clinton email case apparently learned that a foreign entity was getting all Clinton's emails — including many that contained classified information — and … did nothing."
