How To Handle Leftists

Infidel Bloggers Alliance   "My initial reaction to this video is that, while the host presents a worthwhile topic, and it is thoughtful, and it does begin a conversation that needs to be had in our society, it is at the same time, a Steppin' Fetchit strategy, which accepts, somehow, that we Conservatives do not have a right to our opinion in the public square.

"And that we should, as the host says, "learn how to smile, and bob and weave" our way out of conversations.

"Readers of this blog may have noticed that that is not my strategy in life. I do not believe in hiding my opinions. I do not believe in avoiding confrontation.

"The way I see it, I will not become a Steppin' Fetchit, when I have just as much right to sit at the front of the bus as does anyone else. Or to enter the movie theater, or to espouse my views in public.

"We can not afford to cede the public square." . . .

 New John James Ad: ‘Dems Care More About The Black Vote Than Black People’

Ebony Magazine Runs Piece On Black Female Candidates, Leaves Out Black Republicans

"To Ebony, they don’t qualify as black."

Via Daily Caller:Ebony Magazine profiled 18 black women running for Congress in early October but did not include any of the six black Republican women, including one sitting congresswoman, running.
Ebony suggested that their profile, which was published on October 11, was the definitive list of all of the black women running for Congress, titling the piece, “Meet the 18 Black Women Running for a Seat in Congress.”
“This midterm election is one to watch with all 435 seats in the U.S. House up for grabs. Meet the 18 black women vying for a congressional seat,” Ebony writer Sarafina Wright said.
The piece, however, does not mention any of the black Republican women running for Congress.

The "MAGAbomber"; Democrats don't mess with stupid pranks, they shoot to kill or cripple

Paul Joseph Watson
Questions About the Mail Bomber

Democrat Bernie Sanders supporter shooting Republicans on ball field

CNN reports on the neighbor who violently assaulted Sen. Rand Paul. This post makes no mention of the politics of the attacker.  But this from March 2018 does: 
Rand Paul’s Socialist Assaulter Begins Federal Trial Next Week

Boucher has stuck to his story that this had to do with Paul’s landscaping rather than his political beliefs. However, Boucher had a long history of posting radical socialist propaganda on his Facebook page. He was an avowed Bernie Sanders supporter, but is sticking to his story to avoid greater charges for what was likely a politically motivated act of violence. Paul was also attacked by a terrorist shooter outside of a Congressional baseball practice last year, but escaped the gunfire.

Even the Hollywood liberal Vanity Fair has to recognize this guy was a left-winger

Jim Bullington, a former city commission member who knows both men, told the Post that the two, who live next to each other in their gated community, often engaged in heated exchanges about politics; Boucher is a vocal anti-Trump socialist, according to Bullington, while the libertarian Paul voted against an Obamacare repeal attempt because it didn’t go far enough in severing federal aid.

Professor Accused Of Assaulting Trump Supporter With Bike Lock Gets Probation

. . . "Police had claimed Clanton attacked at least three people with a metal U-lock; court papers attested he hit at least seven people in the head. One of Clanton’s reported victims needed five staples to fix the wound on his head." . . .

A search found "flags, patches and pamphlets “associating Clanton” with antifa and anarchist groups. Clanton was arrested at the second address.U-locks, sunglasses, a glove, jeans, and facial coverings that would have fit with being an antifa member were found; a camera was found with “selfies” of Clanton “wearing black clothing and facial coverings” that would have fit with the April 15 event. Additionally, Clanton’s phone records showed he was near the event on the day in question.

More of what is described as Professor Clanton's work:

Democrats don't mess with stupid pranks; they shoot to kill or cripple, along with destroying lives, careers, and families of conservatives. 

Warning; not being a leftist Democrat can have dangerous side effects. 

I ask us to pray that these acts of violence are not committed by conservatives. Let history judge the left for who they are.

Bomb suspect arrest reports

When Democrats gloat over the suspect being a (possibly) pro-Trumper, keep this always in mind as you read updates: From June, 2017: 
 A lone gunman who was said to be distraught over President Trump’s election opened fire on members of the Republican congressional baseball team at a practice field in this Washington suburb on Wednesday, using a rifle to shower the field with bullets that struck four people, including Steve Scalise, the majority whip of the House of Representatives.

A Florida man suspected of mailing suspicious packages to at least 11 prominent Democrats, including 2 former U.S. Presidents, was arrested in Plantation, Florida on Friday.

The suspect, a Caucasian 56-year-old male, was under surveillance for 24 hours before he was taken into custody by F.B.I. agents.The man was arrested at an Auto Zone store on State Route 7 at SW 6th Street around 10:30 a.m., according to CBS4 in Miami.A white van covered in “pro-Trump stickers” was towed from the location.A loud explosion was heard at the time of the arrest, possibly from a flash bang device used by the F.B.I.The suspect, who lives in North Miami Beach, is a former resident of New York. He was known to law enforcement for making threats in the past.The suspect was reportedly identified from surveillance footage at a postal center in Opa Locka, Florida.The feds say several of the suspicious packages were mailed to New York from the center. Postal workers are sorting through millions of pieces of mail searching for more suspicious packages.Several hoax pipe bombs were sent to the homes of former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Packages were also sent to California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, former U.S. AG Eric Holder, and anti-Trump actor Robert De Niro.None of the packages were capable of exploding, according to law enforcement officers. . . .

. . . " 'It's really bad,' the woman said by telephone. She declined to give her name. 'We heard a loud bang, like a bomb exploding. Police officers who told us to stay inside said they were arrested the guy who's been sending bombs all over the place. It's pretty scary but we're inside trying to get some work done.'"The suspect is reportedly a former resident of New York who is living in Florida. The 12 mail bombs are all believed to have been handled by a regional mail sorting facility in southern Florida. "The suspect is known to law enforcement, and has a history of making terroristic threats to judges, sources said." . . .

National Review: The Caravan Is Real

Rich Lowry

Whatever Trump’s exaggerations, the caravan itself isn’t a fabrication.

"The last thing the Left wants prior to the midterms is an image dramatizing the weakness of our southern border. 

"So the caravan of thousands of migrants, emanating from Honduras and headed toward the United States, is considered an illegitimate story, a shoddy excuse for President Donald Trump’s fearmongering.

"It’s certainly true that Trump and his allies have thrown up a lot of chaff around the caravan. It’s not being paid for by George Soros, or infiltrated by unknown Middle Easterners. But the president gets the big point right: We have borders, and should enforce them. 

"Whatever Trump’s exaggerations, the caravan itself isn’t a fabrication. It started as a group of 160 people in Honduras. It quickly grew to 1,600. Guatemala tried to close its border to the migrants, but rapidly gave in. The caravan grew to as large as 7,000 as it crossed into Mexico, before shedding people in recent days.

" The media have run with the story because it isn’t every day that a group of thousands of migrants crashes through a Mexican border crossing. The images, of a throng of migrants as far as the eye can see on the roads, are compelling. To which the response of progressive commentators has been: No fair." . . .

Some current Supreme Court justices not pleased with the confirmation process

Justice Ginsburg in earlier days

Ginsburg Calls Out Congress For Politicizing Confirmations, Calls For Return To How It Used To Be Done  . . . "Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg criticized Congress for politicizing the judicial confirmation process Wednesday night, urging a return to the bipartisan confirmations of decades past.  

"Speaking at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the justice urged lawmakers to “reach across the aisle” and restore collegiality to a process riven with brinkmanship.

“What a difference in time that was from what we are witnessing today,” she said in reference to her own glide-path confirmation, elsewhere adding that the “obvious culprit is Congress,” according to The Washington Post.

. . . “ 'The way it was was right,” she said. “The way it is is wrong.”

“I wish I could wave a magic wand and have it go back to the way it was,” she added. 

When discussing her confirmation process, Ginsburg often notes she commanded support from even from conservative Republicans like GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah. She was confirmed 96-3. Other of her colleagues, like Justice Stephen Breyer and the late Justice Antonin Scalia, were confirmed to the Supreme Court by an overwhelming margin." . . .

The Dangers of Politicizing Supreme Court Confirmations   "The Democrats have become so divisive that they're even starting to turn off their own Supreme Court Justices. That's all I can figure after hearing this clip of Justice Elena Kagan talking about the damage the politicized confirmation process is doing to the perception of the courts." —Dana Loesch

WHOA: 9/11 ‘Top Cop’ so DISGUSTED with CNN panel for politicizing mail bombs he walks OFF set

Twitchy  

Per Breitbart, former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik (9/11 Top Cop) was so troubled by the way CNN was politicizing the pipe bombs sent to ‘top’ Democratic officials that he left the set and walked out on the panel he was supposed to sit on.

Not even TRYING to hide it – CNN straight-up editorializing in its ‘breaking news’ chyrons now

Bernard Kerik, NYC’s 9/11 Top Cop: I Walked off CNN When They Politicized Mail Bombs   "Kerik recalled, “I was scheduled to be on CNN. We were supposed to talk about the investigation and seizure of these devices, and right in the beginning of the set, they suspended us and they went to John Brennan, who was somewhere speaking … and then he went on a 10-minute rant about the president.”

"He added, “As somebody that led through the worst terror attack in our country’s history, and knows how important unity is, especially on a day like today, in the aftermath of this, I just found it appalling that CNN would use this time to let this guy go on this political rant about the president, and I walked off. I took off the earpiece and the mic and I left. I can’t stand it. It just turns my stomach what these people are doing, and it’s wrong.”
"Kerik said CNN’s choice to focus on the mail bombs’ political fallout came at the expense of an opportunity to solicit public assistance for authorities’ ongoing investigations.
"Kerik advised, “They should be focused on the investigation, focused on getting the information the FBI has to the public in case somebody knows something. Get the visuals out to the public if they’ve seen something. I just think it’s wrong.”
"Pollak asked, “So they had you there to talk about the mail bombs, and you had to listen to a political rant by John Brennan, and they wanted you to address the politics, and you said you’re not doing that?”
"Kerik replied, “They didn’t even get to that part because I didn’t wait for him to finish. I wasn’t going to stand there and listen to more of his rhetoric.
"“Here’s the problem: pre-interview and right up until this guy began to talk, I listened to everybody on CNN talking about how disruptive and terrible it is for people to be uncivil.”
"Kerik continued, “Nobody talked about Maxine Waters. Nobody talked about Eric Holder encouraging people to engage in violence. Nobody talked about a U.S. congressman attacked and shot on a baseball field. You know what? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander." . . .

The Hunt for Mid October Bomber

The hunt for the October mail bomber

. . . "The latest: Authorities are focusing on Florida, the NYT reported this afternoon, because the USPS believes many of the packages were sent from there. "Though investigators initially believed that some of the packages were delivered by hand or by courier, they have now concluded that all 10 were likely sent through the mail, a person briefed on the matter said."

• "All the packages were sent in manila envelopes lined with Bubble Wrap. They each had about a half dozen first-class postage stamps on them and return addresses with the name, misspelled, of [Debbie] Wasserman Schultz... The mailing labels were printed on a computer."

The list of those known to be targeted, all Trump antagonists:  Here:  . . . 

"What he's saying: "A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News. It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description," President Trump tweeted.

What's next: "For now, the packages are being sent to an FBI lab in Virginia, which is the first step in the forensic search for their sender," The Verge reports. . . .

How authorities look for a mail bomber  . . . "By this time, investigators are likely looking at several angles. “I would assume there’s some very solid leads,” Johnson says." . . .

On the Caravan

'Ellen' Producer Attacks Melania Trump To Promote Migrant Caravan. Team Melania Hits Back.  . . . "First Lady Melania Trump, a legal immigrant to the United States, was targeted by talk show host Ellen Degeneres' executive producer on Monday.
"While promoting the 7,000-plus migrant-packed caravan headed toward our Southern border, Andy Lassner of "The Ellen Show" wrote via Twitter, "I'm way more afraid of another Melania getting in to this country than I am of any caravan of human beings seeking asylum.' " . . .

Prepare to greet the members of the 'caravan'!  . . . "The Washington Post has reported that the president "sought to fan public fears on Twitter, suggesting without evidence that the "'caravan' contains gang members and terrorists from the Middle East."  Yet a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security reported that there are some "gang members" and people with "significant criminal histories" in the caravan.  Department spokesperson Tyler Houlton said on Twitter that the "caravan" includes citizens not only of Central American countries, but also of the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and "elsewhere."

"The Gateway Pundit reports that a Univision correspondent found Bangladeshis in the caravan in Guatemala." . . .

MIGRANT MOB MEMBER Flashes Gang Sign As Univision Reporter, Jorge Ramos Tells Fox News’ Viewers Caravan Is Harmless

“Just Wendy” on Twitter tweeted: Well during the whole time Jorge the bs artist was talking to all I saw were 20 year old men no women or children,there was this gem throwing up gang signs. Make no mistake this is an invasion.

Mattis, Trump Expected to Send Almost 800 Troops to Border to Counter Migrant Caravan  . . . "I’ve written before that the Democrats had complete power from 2008-2010 and could have changed immigration laws then.

"Three administration officials told CNN that Mattis and others are still working on ironing out the details on the troops:

The officials tell CNN final details are being worked out including where the troops will come from and their specific tasks.

The troops will not engage in lethal operations to stop the migrants. Instead they are expected to provide fencing, wall materials and other technical support at several key points along the border where it is believed the migrants may try to cross.

The troops will also provide tents and medical care for border authorities in those areas. The troops retain the right of self-defense, but border patrol officers will still be the ones physically stopping illegal migration, the officials said. . . . 

Come to think of it, how many American troops originally came from down there? TD 

The Second Caravan Sealed the Democrats' Fate  . . . "Having already set in motion plans to limit or eliminate foreign aid to El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, President Trump has already done more to fight this foreign invasion than Obama did in eight years.  Should the migrant army simply keep walking when it meets resistance, that will not be the victory many Democrats seem to anticipate.  It will not demoralize the Republican base, which recognizes that short of military resistance and the public relations nightmare a military confrontation may produce, Trump's hands are largely tied by our current immigration laws.  Instead, the human wave will be the punctuation mark on the end of the sentence, "Build the wall.' " . . .

NY Times Publishes 'Trump Assassination Porn,' But That's Not The Worst Part

Daily Wire

"The New York Times, once almost universally considered the most thorough, reliable, and professional news publication in the U.S., is now publishing "Trump assassination porn" that fantasizes about the Secret Service helping a Russian agent murder Trump.

"The worst part: rather than passively receiving the submission, The New York Times Book Review went out looking for it, actively petitioning spy and crime novelists to produce Trump-Russia-themed stories that were almost guaranteed to indulge Russian conspiracy theories and include some sort of scenario that ends up with a dead President of the United States. And, of course, when they got one, they were thrilled to push it out to readers. Here's how the editors explain their Trump-Russia fiction mini-series:

[O]ne of the biggest stories out there, of course, is the Mueller investigation and the relationship between Trump and Putin. It's hard not to speculate about what might happen next. To that end, we thought: Who better than some of today's most talented crime and spy novelists — Joseph Finder, Laura Lippman, Jason Matthews, Zoe Sharp, and Scott Turow — to conjure possible outcomes?
