The bomb mailers and the anti-Republican forces in our nation

From Breitbart:

• Authorities in New York safely detonated a bomb sent to the home of progressive billionaire activist George Soros on Monday.
• A suspicious package addressed to the Chappaqua home of Bill and Hillary Clinton was intercepted. The Associated Press says that, contrary to early reports, the package was singled out at a nearby facility, not at the Clintons’ home.
• The Secret Service intercepted a suspicious package addressed to Barack Obama’s residence in Washington, DC.
• A mail bomb addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan was opened in the offices of CNN at the Time Warner Center in New York City. The building has been evacuated.
• The return address on the CNN parcel is the Florida office of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL). One package has reportedly gone to this address after it was sent to former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
• Reports suspected similar packages were sent to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) but were false alarms.
• Unconfirmed reports say that a package addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) was intercepted at a Maryland sorting facility.
• The White House has denounced the attempted bombings, with Press Secretary Sarah Sanders calling them “cowardly” and “despicable.” President Donald Trump said, “acts and threats of political violence have no place in the United States of America.”
• A CNN report claimed that a pipe bomb was intercepted on its way to the White House, but the story turned out to be false.

The DWS return address shown here is a bit too obvious to be believed, wouldn't you say?

Piers Morgan: In the Toxic States of America it was only a matter of time before some nutcase turned violent rhetoric into actual violence so now is the time to rediscover civility, starting with you, Mr President  . . . "But let’s not pretend this couldn’t just as easily have been a left wing home grown nutcase targeting right-wing political figures.

"As I have regularly said, many liberals have been sent completely bonkers by Trump winning the White House and their behaviour has grown increasingly erratic and threatening.

"Only last week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was attacked in a restaurant as he ate dinner with his wife. His shrieking assailant grabbed McConnell’s to-go box from the table and dumped it outside on the sidewalk as other diners cheered." . . .

Blame it all on Mr. Trump as you will, but recall the Democrats say they will next go after the soft-spoken, classy Vice President Mike Pence next. Recall it was the Democrat constituents of Maxine Waters who tried to beat Reginald Denny to death during the LA riots in the streets of Water's district. 
Kamala Harris supports the BLM movement that assassinated numerous police officers in the streets of Dallas; I do not recall any protest from her against the "pigs in a blanket" chants by these same Harris voters.
Democrats as well who did all they could to destroy the reputation and family of Judge Kavanaugh in front of millions of Americans. Their goddess Hillary drug the reputations of women that Bill Clinton assaulted into the mud, giving them veiled threats to ward off publicity. 
Oh, there is so much more to recall on these Democrats...TD

Meet the man behind the migrant caravan headed to US

NY Post  "Meet Bartolo Fuentes, the Honduran ex-lawmaker who helped launch the 7,000-strong caravan marching toward the United States — on a promise he says he never made.

"In September, Fuentes began ­coordinating with groups dispersed throughout Honduras seeking to make the trek north.

"The initial number of people involved was about 200.
“ 'No one expected this human avalanche,” Fuentes told the Daily Beast in an interview published Tuesday.
"What changed everything was a TV report on HCH — a Honduran news channel.
"A woman reportedly part of the caravan told TV anchors of Fuentes’ efforts, and she mentioned “assistance.” The anchors then supposedly said Fuentes would pay migrants’ food and transportation costs — which he denied in an interview.
"Still, thousands took a chance, since a human-smuggling “coyote” charges upwards of $7,000 to take someone across the US border.
“ 'After that news program, I started to get hundreds of calls, then it took on a life of its own,” Fuentes said.
“ 'In Honduras, the government wants to minimize why people are leaving — they know they are going to leave and they want to say they are doing so because of lies and the opposition, not the conditions that they created,” he said.
“ 'This is in line with what the United States is saying — that there are false promises being made. And this pro-government news program played into that messaging, trying to say that there is financing when really people just need to get out.”
"President Trump has claimed that Democratic politicians are behind the caravan — calling it an “assault” on the United States." . . .

Honduras? What about Venezuela? So Venezuela was behind the great Honduras migrant caravan all along?  . . . "The one clue we have starts with the two governments of Guatemala and Honduras, both of which have conservative, anti-Chavista governments.  They also have disgustingly rabid left-wing oppositions, the kind of people who openly admire Hugo Chávez and his utterly failed socialist revolution.  They like Cuba's government, too.  They are rabid left-wingers, and they seek above all to destabilize and topple the countries of their origin in order to see those countries join their heroes.  They can't get elected anymore, so this is what they do." . . .

The Liberal Mob Must Be Stopped in November

Derek Hunter 

"Something has happened to the Democratic Party, something dramatic and awful. It wasn’t that long ago that the Democratic Party liked the United States, and its members weren’t afraid to say it. Now saying positive things about the country will get you run out of the party and possibly attacked by a mob. Their media minions will cheer it all. And, if things go as expected next month, these people could retake the House of Representatives. These people in power should scare everyone.

"There is nothing they won’t do to win, no lie they won’t tell, and no norm they won’t obliterate. The last few days alone provided us with many examples to demonstrate this very thing. 

"This week saw liberals obsessed with the disappearance, and now we know murder, of Jamal Khashoggi. The obsession was not over how he was killed, despotic governments kill their citizens all the time and no one bats an eye, it was a combination of two things – his job and the opportunity to attack President Trump. 

"Khashoggi was billed as a journalist, but he was more of a columnist. Either way, if he had any other job you never would have heard his name. But journalists love stories about journalism the way Hollywood loves movies about the movie business. Add in the ability to blame his murder on the President’s criticism and you’ve got the perfect media storm. And Democrats were more than happy to jump on board. 

"First, let me just say that I don’t care. I know you’re not supposed to say this, but I’m not interested in lying to you. It’s sad that a man was murdered, but it happens all the time. No one’s profession makes them special. He wasn’t an American and it wasn’t in this country, so I don’t care. 

"More importantly, I’m not interested in destroying or even damaging our relationship with Saudi Arabia over this. Our relationship as a nation is much more important than one of their citizens, even if he wrote for the Washington Post.

"Democrats know this, yet they’re out calling for sanctions and worse. Why? Because they see a political advantage in it.

" President Trump has been rightly critical of the media in this country because they’re terrible, biased in every way and have gotten so many stories wrong or simply lied about his administration. His words, however, had nothing to do with what happened to Khashoggi in Turkey. You’d never know that from watching our media." . . .

The district said it would not apologize, however, for inviting the drag queen to talk to the middle schoolers, a decision the school made in the name of "inclusiveness" and "diversity.' "

Gillum Thinks Hillary Clinton Is a Conservative Democrat . . . "The Republican Governors Association castigated Gillum for thinking that Clinton is a "conservative Democrat," calling him "out-of-touch."

I'd say Gillum is to politics as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is to economics:

"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez majored in economics, but she doesn’t seem to have learned much."  "It costs a pretty penny to earn a diploma in stupid."

Early Voting Is Underway And It's Favoring...Republicans?

Don't worry about the Tunnel Wall posting this. Nobody reads this blog anyway. The Tunnel Dweller

Legal Insurrection

Daily Wire  " 'Early voting" began this week in most states, allowing enthusiastic members of both parties to cast their ballots far ahead of election day. But the practice, which typically favors Democrats, seems this year to indicate excitement on behalf of the GOP, particularly in states that could make the difference between a Democrat-controlled Senate and a Republican-controlled one.
"NBC News reports that Republican early voters are "outpacing" Democrats in key states like "Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Tennessee and Texas," and the difference is significant. In most states mentioned, at least 10% more Republicans have voted early than Democrats.
"NBC's data analytics center did not parse out whether the "early votes" were in-person or by absentee ballot. In-person early voting generally favors Democrats, largely because most "early voting" sites are located in major cities with large populations, where demand to vote is high and lines can get long on Election Day. Absentee ballots — particularly those from older Americans and military personnel stationed away from their home city — generally favor Republicans.
"But as NBC News points out, the numbers look good for Republicans — or, at least, they look tough for Democrats, who had hoped for a "blue wave," ushering in Democratic control of both houses of Congress. Republican enthusiasm is higher than expected, perhaps due in part to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings, and its forcing Democrats to recalibrate their electoral expectations." . . .
Well, if NBC reports it, it must be the truth.

No telling how big a turnout Republicans would have had if Democrats hadn't encouraged violence against Republican voters. TD

Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate admits burning state flag during demonstration

That weird silence you get from the Democrats on the Honduras caravan

"Democrats appear to be remaining silent on the issue of the caravan of thousands of immigrants on the march from Central America and unwilling to get into a public debate with President Trump since the midterms are just weeks away."

Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s office in California was vandalized Monday . . . "McCarthy, whose local office is in Bakersfield, Calif., posted photos of the suspects and some of the damage. Two young men were caught on surveillance camera outside of the office, which had its window smashed in by a large boulder. “Does anyone know these two guys? They threw a boulder thru our office window and took office equipment,” McCarthy wrote on his Instagram account. McCarthy’s office is not the first GOP office to be vandalized in recent weeks." . . .

New RNC Ad Highlights Disturbing Violence by Democrats  "The RNC has dropped a new ad that rightly frames the Democratic party as the party of mob violence:

Framing the Democratic Party as the party of violent attacks on anyone with whom it disagrees, the Republican National Committee has unveiled a new campaign ad that focuses on Democratic willingness to break boundaries and rules in the name of politics.  And it’s straight from recent headlines.

We cannot have a post about Democrat outrages without mentioning California:

The Left Just Can’t Let Catholic Nuns Decline To Pay For Birth Control  "Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic group of nuns dedicated to caring for elderly people in poverty, are back in court over Obamacare’s mandate that all health insurance pay for contraception, including abortifacients. They have intervened in a case brought by six states, including California, against the Trump administration. These states are seeking to strip away the ability of groups like the Little Sisters to function within the bounds of their consciences, after a lower court ruled that exemptions to the contraceptive mandate didn’t provide the notice that was legally required." . . .

The stakes are high in State of California v. Little Sisters of the Poor. California’s Attorney General Xavier Becerra is standing against a group led by women who have voluntarily chosen to join an order with vows of chastity. This move is nonsensical yet chilling, because it’s clear that this case isn’t about getting health care to women who want or might need it. Rather, this is about imposing an agenda and ideology onto religious people, at any cost.

What Can’t Be Debated on Campus

Amy Wax

Pilloried for her politically incorrect views, University of Pennsylvania law professor Amy Wax asks if it’s still possible to have substantive arguments about divisive issues.

"There is a lot of abstract talk these days on American college campuses about free speech and the values of free inquiry, with lip service paid to expansive notions of free expression and the marketplace of ideas. What I’ve learned through my recent experience of writing a controversial op-ed is that most of this talk is not worth much. It is only when people are confronted with speech they don’t like that we see whether these abstractions are real to them.

The op-ed, which I co-authored with Larry Alexander of the University of San Diego Law School, appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer on Aug. 9 under the headline, “Paying the Price for the Breakdown of the Country’s Bourgeois Culture.” It began by listing some of the ills afflicting American society:

Too few Americans are qualified for the jobs available. Male working-age labor-force participation is at Depression-era lows. Opioid abuse is widespread. Homicidal violence plagues inner cities. Almost half of all children are born out of wedlock, and even more are raised by single mothers. Many college students lack basic skills, and high school students rank below those from two dozen other countries.

We then discussed the “cultural script”—a list of behavioral norms—that was almost universally endorsed between the end of World War II and the mid-1960s:

Get married before you have children and strive to stay married for their sake. Get the education you need for gainful employment, work hard and avoid idleness. Go the extra mile for your employer or client. Be a patriot, ready to serve the country. Be neighborly, civic-minded and charitable. Avoid coarse language in public. Be respectful of authority. Eschew substance abuse and crime.

These norms defined a concept of adult responsibility that was, we wrote, “a major contributor to the productivity, educational gains and social coherence of that period.” The fact that the “bourgeois culture” these norms embodied has broken down since the 1960s, we argued, largely explains today’s social pathologies—and re-embracing that culture would go a long way toward addressing those pathologies.

"In what became the most controversial passage, we pointed out that some cultures are less suited to preparing people to be productive citizens in a modern technological society, and we gave examples:

"The culture of the Plains Indians was designed for nomadic hunters, but is not suited to a First World, 21st-century environment. Nor are the single-parent, antisocial habits prevalent among some working-class whites; the anti-‘acting white’ rap culture of inner-city blacks; the anti-assimilation ideas gaining ground among some Hispanic immigrants." . . . More...

Disliking, avoiding and shunning people who don’t share our politics is not good for our country. We live together, and we need to solve our problems together. It is also always possible that people we disagree with have something to offer, something to contribute, something to teach us. We ignore this at our peril. As Heather Mac Donald wrote in National Review about the controversy over our op-ed: “What if the progressive analysis of inequality is wrong…and a cultural analysis is closest to the truth? If confronting the need to change behavior is punishable ‘hate speech,’ then it is hard to see how the country can resolve its social problems.” In other words, we are at risk of being led astray by received opinion.
The American way is to conduct free and open debate in a civil manner. We should return to doing that on our college campuses and in our society at large.

ARMY INVASION: Honduran Caravan Includes Military-Aged Male Migrants From Bangladesh, Haiti and Congo

The Gateway Pundit  

"Thousands of military-aged, virile mostly Honduran males breached the Guatemala border gate over the weekend and stormed the Mexican border bridge; Mexican authorities ultimately let the caravan through.
"A second caravan of 2,000 migrants formed on Sunday and started marching to Guatemala with a plan to reach the U.S. as their final destination.

"According to a Univision correspondent, Bangladeshis joined the migrant caravan before it crossed from Guatemala into Mexico.

"The Daily Caller reported:

A Spanish language reporter who has spent weeks embedded with the migrant caravan said in a Friday report that people from Bangladesh had joined the mass of people trying to cross from Guatemala into Mexico.The Bangladeshis, he said, were detained in an immigration facility, though it’s not clear what happened to them after their detention.

"This is especially troubling because Bangladesh has one of the largest Muslim populations in the world with a very high rate of Islamic terrorism and barbarism.

"Also, according to Judicial Watch, who has a reporter embedded in Guatemala, migrants from Haiti, Congo, Sri Lanka, Angola, Cameroon, and Bangladesh latched onto the caravan." . . .

AWFUL! Classless Barack Obama Continues Midterm Campaigning – Compares Trump to “Tin-pot Dictatorship”

The Gateway Pundit
"Barack Obama continued to campaign against Republicans on Monday. The former president broke precedent this year by campaigning against the opposition party after leaving office." . . .
"On Monday Obama took credit for the Trump economy — which is a joke.

"Obama then compared President Trump to a tinpot dictatorship."

Former president Barack Obama was onstage at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Monday, doing a familiar, uncomfortable job.

He was here to rally Democrats and to fight cultural tides the party didn’t quite anticipate…

…Obama spent much of his speech on a long defense of his own presidency, and condemnation of Republican governance.

“When you hear all this talk about ‘economic miracles’ right now, remember who started it,” Obama said. He denounced Trump’s attempts to pressure the FBI and Department of Justice to target political foes.

“That is not how America works. That is how some tin-pot dictatorship works,” he said. . . .

How the Left Colonizes Education

Christopher Chantrill  "I was with a bunch of lefties over the weekend, and would you believe, the big problem in education is the colonialist curriculum. So after the lefties had all tut-tutted about how even now in Africa the educational curriculum was still painfully colonialist, I had to step in.

"Here’s what’s worrying me, I said. It’s the leftification of education.

"Dead silence.

"Because if you are a lefty you have never thought, not for a moment, that the left runs education from stem to stern in the western world. And that is a monstrous injustice.

"Now of course, I could have gone in for the kill, and said that the left’s ruthless and merciless domination of education is the great crime of the last century and shaping up to become the great crime of the millennium. But I didn’t. Because, after all, I was among friends.

"But there is this, from David Brooks, who just put out a piece in the New YorkTimes about the implacable “Rich White Civil War” featuring, on the left, Progressive Activists and, on the right, Devoted Conservatives. Yes, it’s just like the good old days of Folger’s Coffee. The big conflict in U.S. politics are between the two “richest kinds:” Rich liberals, that in Brooks’ study are called Progressive Activists, and rich conservatives, or Devoted Conservatives.

"Now, after I dropped my bomb on my lefty friends about the real problem in education: the colonialist lefty oppression of the children of the West, I could have continued and railed against the monstrous oppression of the leftification of the education system and also the university system that enforces a left-only curriculum by stigmatizing all non-lefty speech as hate speech, and therefore monstrously deplatforms all non-lefty everything, courtesy of the global alliance of all self-respecting SJWs and their mind-robot NPCs." . . .

George Soros and his 'rented evangelicals' outed by Christian leaders

Washington Times "A new video from the American Association of evangelicals reveals how George Soros, through his many funding ventures, has been busily infiltrating the Christian base in America to divide, and ultimately conquer, the religious minded within the Republican Party.

"Truly, with the left, political wars know no bounds. Nothing’s sacred; not when it comes to the leftists’ drive to succeed. 

"Here’s what AAE put out in a press release: “Democrat ministers Rev. Jim Wallis and allies are now touring many states on ‘Vote Common Good’ buses to … split the evangelical vote before the mid-term elections. The AAE video features the newly released voice recording of [Jim] Wallis of Sojourners as he publicly denied that he was a recipient of Soros funding.”. . .  

"And then there was this, from the Blaze, in October 2011: “George Soros sends $150000 to Jim Wallis‘ Left-Wing Group Sojourners.”

" ‘Lest the significance goes unrecognized: The Sojourners is a far-left group that masquerades as a Christian outlet, bent on doing God’s work, but that far more often seems to do nothing but Democrats’ will.

“ 'We are evangelicals, Catholics, Pentecostals and Protestants; progressives and conservatives; blacks, whites, Latinos, and Asians; women and men; young and old … [and] seek to discover the intersection of faith, politics, and culture,” Sojo.net reads.

"Sounds honorable enough. But how come that intersection never leads down a conservative path?

There’s nothing pro-Donald Trump, pro-conservative, pro-limited government, pro-Constitution about this group’s goals — or, for that matter, about the Vote Common Good bus tour, currently winding through 31 cities of America.
