People aren't thrilled about Kamala Harris selling 'That Little Girl Was Me' T-shirts: 'Hollow and calculated';

Yahoo  . . . But Harris told Biden at the debate, “Vice President Biden, I do not believe you are a racist. I also believe—and it's personal...it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. It was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.”

She said, “And you know, there was a little girl in California who was a part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me. So I will tell you that, on this subject, it cannot be an intellectual debate among Democrats. We have to take it seriously.' ”

Biden Hits the Skids . . . "In recent years, the Democratic Party has moved far to the left, leaving centrists like Biden not only without support but stunned to be on the receiving end of those same false charges of racism he so freely leveled against Republicans, Biden learned in real time that in a Democratic Party debate a white man cannot win an argument about race with a black woman holding a giant race card. Biden will soon renounce his past opposition to busing and racial quotas. He’ll do this in the vain attempt to hang on to his lead among black Democratic primary voters. All that will do is speed up the day of his ultimate political demise."

Media Matters Defends Antifa in Andy Ngo Attack: Questions ‘Cement Milkshake’

. . . "The post did condemn political violence — in the last few paragraphs, where it also suggested that those spreading reports about alleged cement milkshakes would be at least partly responsible for future violent escalations." . . .

A Nod to Violence: CNN Further Normalizes Leftist Antifa Terrorists

"It’s been over three years since the FBI and the Department of Homeland security referred to the radical leftist Antifa movement's behavior as that of a “domestic terrorist” organization, but that hasn’t stopped CNN from promoting their activities. Just days after CNN host Chris Cuomo argued that Antifa was a “true” and “good cause,” social justice warrior Kamau Bell on Sunday’s United Shades of Americaoffered a national platform to an Antifa member while offering no pushback against their violent tactics.

"Completely ignoring the terrorist designation, Bell sat down with a young woman who only went by the name Ariel. As they began their discussion, Bell allowed her to twist and lie about what Antifa actually was:. . . "

Far-left CNN and, most especially, network chief Jeff Zucker, owe Quillette journalist Andy Ngo a personal apology.   . . . Here is a short list of CNN excusing, complimenting, and encouraging Antifa’s use of violence against CNN’s political enemies on the right:

• Antifa fights for a “good cause.”
• Antifa’s fight “is right.”
• Antifa’s punches are more “equal morally” than others.
• Antifa is “on the side of right.”
• Antifa is right because “sometimes you can’t fight by praising them or being nice to them. You gotta fight fire with fire…”
• Antifa is as heroic as the American soldiers who stormed the beaches on D-Day.
• Antifa harassing Ted Cruz and his wife out of a restaurant is “what he signed up for.”
• …any criticism of Antifa is “racist” (even though Antifa is predominantly white).

"The result of having a cable news outlet dedicated to protecting your organization is an increasingly emboldened Antifa that brutally assaulted Ngo over the weekend." . . .

Maxine Waters encourages supporters to harass Trump administration officials  . . . "Asked about Waters' comments on CNN's "New Day" Monday, Rep. Adriano Espaillat of New York would not criticize his fellow Democrat."

SLAVE REGISTERS FROM LONDON Name The Slaves Kamala Harris’ Ancestor Owned

Big League Politics  "Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is descended from Irish slave owner Hamilton Brown, the namesake of Brown’s Town in Jamaica, who recruited massive numbers of Irish migrants to Jamaica to work on his sugar plantations after the British empire abolished slavery.
"Kamala Harris’ father Donald Harris wrote an essay entitled “Reflections of a Jamaican Father” for Jamaica Global Online, in which he made a startling admission (emphasis added):
“ 'My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me).  "The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural ‘produce’ exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown’s Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed, and served as an acolyte).' ” . . .

Registry of slaves owned by Hamilton Brown,

Research by  Jeanne A. Smith, MD: "The National Archives in London, (also known as the Public Record Office), is the repository for numerous records concerning the West Indies, and Jamaica in particular. These records include wills, manumissions, correspondence, proclamations, slave registers and other transactions. I had the opportunity recently to visit the archives and review a small portion of the myriad records which they have. My interest was in tracing my ancestors back to the slavery days thus I was particularly interested in the Slave registers (T71 series)

"A return of slaves in the parish of Saint Ann in the possession of Hamilton Brown as owner on the 28th day of June 1n the year of our lord 1817"
Males 56
Females 30
Total 86 Eighty Six
"I Hamilton Brown do swear that the above list and return consisting of two sheets is a true perfect and complete list and return, to the best of my knowledge and belief in every particular therein mentioned of all and every slaves possessed by me as owner, considered as most permanently settled, worked and employed in the Parish of Saint Ann on the twenty Eight day of June One thousand Eight Hundred and Seventeen without fraud, deceit or evasion So help me God.
Sworn before me this twenty fourth day of September 1817

The fascist "anti-fascists" rule the streets as they once did in 1930's Germany

Rich Terrell

Andy Ngo

The American left is seriously out of control. Now they are dangerous  "The Left's hysteria over Trump's victory in 2016 has escalated into something quite beyond mere hysteria. Now they are well and truly dangerous.   Antifa, the fascist organization that protests anything and everything with which it disagrees is violent, very violent.  They show up with weapons, wearing masks and attack anyone they perceive to be in opposition to their own warped ideology.

"CNN has long defended the group as good guys, social justice warriors.  That is how off the rails CNN is.  Like Antifa, CNN is officially and openly anti-American.   Over the weekend in Portland, Quillette journalist  Andy Ngo (Pictured, right) was badly beaten, seriously injured,  by a group of these thugs and got no help from the Portland police, who actually made him walk back through the mob to seek help." . . .

Not only CNN but the NY Times supports these street thugs  Just as Germany in the 20-30s had the Vőlkischer Beobachter and Der Stűrmer, so, in my opinion, the American Left has CNN and the NY Times, apparently. TD

Attack on D.C. Free Speech Rally, Promises To Blind Attendees  "A person utilizing artwork created by a Rolling Stone journalist who writes favorably about Antifa has threatened to attack attendees of the Demand Free Speech rally with “muriatic acid, wax, and balloons” on July 6 in Washington, D.C.
"The threats were made on a popular right wing Telegram channel. A user with the name “POUND ON YOUR BOY” made several threats against the rally, prompting co-organizer Enrique Tarrio to contact the FBI and DHS, who are now planning to provide additional security to the event."

Did Portland Violate the First Amendment by Selectively Tolerating Violence?

. . . "Journalists yawned when an Antifa goon was given probation by a liberal judge after attacking seven people from behind. The Antifa thug hit his victims so hard with a heavy metal bike lock that one victim had a piece of his “helmet broken off,” and another suffered a “head laceration that required five staples to fix.' ”

Intellectual Takeout

"Portland and its police may have violated the First Amendment by allowing members of the left-wing group Antifa to physically attack people, such as a conservative journalist and an elderly man. Police are not allowed to permit attacks on disfavored speakers, or permit violence by ideologically favored groups, while otherwise enforcing the law. That violates the First Amendment. Police have no duty under the Constitution to protect the public at all. But if they do, they can’t selectively withhold protection from people with disfavored views, or selectively permit violence by a group they ideologically sympathize with. 
. . .
"In Portland, police did nothing as Antifa attacked people nearby. For example, Antifa members viciously attacked journalist Andy Ngo on Saturday at a Portland rally. They assaulted him with fists and milkshakes that may have contained caustic quick-dry cement, sending him to the emergency room. Other video of Antifa shows “a group of masked thugs beating an elderly man in Portland with a crowbar and macing him.”

"Andy Ngo is a photojournalist and editor at conservative-leaning Quillette. As Reason Magazine’s Robby Soave notes, an “antifa mob beat up a journalist … who posed no physical threat to them and was only there to document their activities — on a public street. This is indefensible, and yet there are tons of progressive-leaning people currently defending it, or at the very least rationalizing and making light of it.” It is unfortunate that some progressive journalists have chosen to minimize or excuse this violence, because it was aimed at a journalist for a conservative-leaning publication. (Ngo himself is a gay Vietnamese-American).

"In response to these beatings, people have argued that the City of Portland needs to be sued for allowing (or directing) the police to not protect the innocent. They have criticized the City of Portland and its left-wing mayor, who sympathizes with Antifa, for doing nothing. In response, other people have pointed out that police have no constitutional duty to enforce the law. For example, one lawyer noted that “the Supreme Court upheld that officers have no legal duty to protect you.' ”  . . .

Unmask Antifa and Watch the Cowards Retreat

Anti-masking laws can be unconstitutional when applied to peaceful demonstrators seeking to protect their identities as a matter of personal safety, but that reasoning doesn’t apply to Antifa. Its members seek to engage in violence and destruction with impunity, and the mask protects them from legal accountability.  . . .

National Review  "I’d urge everyone to read my colleague Jim Geraghty’s post on the thuggery this weekend in Portland. It was appalling to watch masked Antifa thugs attack Andy Ngo, and it was also appalling that the police weren’t immediately present to arrest his attackers. Antifa’s propensity to violence is well known, and while I’d love to hear a sympathetic explanation for the absence of police, the lack of response looks a lot like a dereliction of duty.
"There is, however, a simple and well-known legal reform that will go a long way towards deterring Antifa violence — even when police aren’t close by, but iPhones are. It’s called an anti-masking law. They’ve long existed in the South as a check on Klan violence, and they not only make it easier for police to immediately identify and arrest criminals, they also allow witnesses to preserve the pictures and videos of violent attackers for later criminal or civil action.
"When I tweeted over the weekend in support of an anti-masking ordinance in Oregon, a number of correspondents asked me if the laws were consistent with First Amendment protections for anonymous speech. The answer is generally (though not always) yes, and there’s relatively recent on-point case law in the Second Circuit saying so. While court of appeals cases aren’t nationally dispositive, the panel in Church of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan v. Kerik included Sonia Sotomayor, and its reasoning is instructive." . . .

“Kamala Harris is *not* an American Black. She is half Indian and half Jamaican.

If that’s the best the Democrats can come up with to defend Kamala Harris, calling a Republican black man a racist, they are really desperate.

WND  "The left is excited about Sen. Kamala Harris running for president because she’s a black female. But she’s not African American. The term “typically refers to descendants of enslaved black people who are from the United States.” Harris is half Jamaican and half Indian. And her father says their ancestors owned slaves.

"However, she’s trying to play the race card in the presidential election to attract the black vote. She tried to portray Joe Biden as a racist during the first Democratic debates last week.

“It’s personal and it was actually very hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country,” Harris said, referring to praise Biden had given segregationists he worked with in Congress. “It was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing. And there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bussed to school every day. And that little girl was me.”

Ali Alexander

"Ali Alexander, an outspoken conservative activist who is half African American and half Arab, was disgusted with Harris pulling the race card during the debate. He called her out on her heritage Thursday. Alexander tweeted, “Kamala Harris is *not* an American Black. She is half Indian and half Jamaican. I’m so sick of people robbing American Blacks (like myself) of our history. It’s disgusting. Now using it for debate time at #DemDebate2? These are my people not her people. Freaking disgusting.” Unlike Harris, Alexander’s ancestors lived through slavery and the Jim Crow era. Harris’ parents moved to the U.S. in 1960-61, the tail end of Jim Crow laws.

"Hardly anyone else has dared to bring up Harris’ heritage, instead giving her a free pass for speaking out on African American issues. Harris also uses her black identity to talk about issues like reparations. This is even more absurd considering her ancestors owned slaves. But she talks about it as if she’s a victim.". . .  Read more.

New 'terms' for customers at restaurant that refused to serve Sarah Sanders

WND  "The restaurant co-owner who refused to serve then-White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and her family says that as long as Donald Trump is in the White House, businesses must operate under different rules of customer service, meaning administration officials “should consider dining at home.”

"Stephanie Wilkinson, co-owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, reacted in a commentary published by the Washington Post to a Chicago cocktail bar employee spitting on Eric Trump, the second son of the president.

"Wilkinson claimed “no one in the industry condones the physical assault of a patron,” but she said standards of good businesses that have been practiced for years are changing.

Stephanie Wilkinson, owner of The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia.

“ 'The once-ubiquitous idea that companies exist purely and solely to provide profit to shareholders is withering away like corn husks in the summer sun,” she wrote.

"She said the new unwritten policy is that “all are welcome” but “terms and conditions apply.”

“ 'The high-profile clashes rarely involve one citizen fussing at another over the entrees. It’s more often a frustrated person (some of whom are restaurant employees) lashing out at the representatives of an administration that has made its name trashing norms and breaking backs. Not surprising, if you think about it: You can’t call people your enemies by day and expect hospitality from them in the evening,” she wrote.

“ 'So when the day comes that the world feels returned to its normal axis, I expect we’ll see fewer highly charged encounters making headlines. In the meantime, the new rules apply. If you’re directly complicit in spreading hate or perpetuating suffering, maybe you should consider dining at home,” she warned.

"In a previous commentary for the Post, Wilkinson complained about the “hate mail” she’s been receiving since her business originally refused to serve Sanders.

"She said she drew a line for Sanders over “a person whose actions in the service of our country we felt violated basic standards of humanity.”

"But Wilkinson said she didn’t expect the “blowback.”

"That included" . . .

Would she happily serve these people?

Antifa Plans Acid Attacks at July 6 Free Speech Rally

As at the Trump inauguration, they put out this story and then threw water on the Inauguration attendees, terrorizing people needlessly. But given the real harm the Antifa movement has inflicted on innocent people lately, real acid would be consistent with past actions. 

Faye Higbee

A user with the name “POUND ON YOUR BOY” made several threats against the rally, prompting co-organizer Enrique Tarrio to contact the FBI and DHS, who are now planning to provide additional security to the event.

Over the course of about 10 minutes last night, the “POUND ON YOUR BOY” account asked how the D.C. event is “coming along”, and referenced muriatic acid multiple times.

"Enrique Tarrio, (Hispanic male, please note) the current leader of the Proud Boys, said that the use of wax with muriatic acid would cause more than the normal minor burns. While muriatic acid can be easily washed off the skin, the addition of wax would form a film over the person’s skin, which could cause severe injury.

"Antifa plans -they have upped their violence in recent days, after throwing quick drying cement in “milkshakes” at people in Portland, and beating journalist Andy Ngo. These jackwagons must ALL be rounded up and thrown in the nearest jail cell for a long time. They are terrorists, and should be treated as such.

"They have also promised to continue attacking other conservatives, such as Fox Host Tucker Carlson and Jack Prosobiec from One America News Network. According to the Gateway Pundit, they planned to once again go to Tucker Carlson’s house and posted it on Twitter under a different account than they used before. Jack outed them. Antifa plans toast." . . .

Scientists find evidence of global warming on Mars

Washington Times

"Earth isn’t the only planet grappling with climate change, although this other orb doesn’t have much in the way of fossil fuel emissions or a 97 percent of scientific “consensus” on global warming.
"Newly published evidence suggests Mars is experiencing global warming as it emerges from an ice age.
"The red planet, which moved closer to the Earth on Monday than at any other time since 2005, has retreated from a glacial period that would have covered large areas in white before the thaw about 370,000 years ago, according to a study published Friday in the journal Science.
"The research was conducted using an instrument on board the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter that allowed an unprecedented examination of “the most recent Martian ice age recorded in the planet’s north polar ice cap,” according to a NASA press release.
"Research was led by planetary scientist Isaac B. Smith at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado" . . .

AOC and the Women's soccer team or President Trump: which serves America best?

U.S. Women’s Soccer Rejects Trump, But Plans to Visit AOC

"Today, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) invited co-captain Megan Rapinoe and the United States Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) to the U.S. House of Representatives.
"She tweeted, “It may not be the White House, but we’d be happy to welcome @mPinoe & the entire #USWNT for a tour of the House of Representatives anytime they’d like.”
. . .
"Co-captain Alex Morgan responded to Senator Harris, tweeting, “Thank you!!!! Gotta rep California loud and proud!”
"Morgan has also become a controversial figure as she refused to sing the national anthem, in line with Rapinoe, in Friday’s quarterfinal match against France.
"She told Time that “There’s the narrative that’s been said hundreds of times about any sort of athlete who’s spoken out politically. ‘Stick to sports.’ We’re much more than that, OK?' ” . . .

Holocaust Survivor Nominates AOC for 'Nobel Prize in Stupidity'
. . . "Now, one of the few Holocaust survivors still alive has some very firm opinions about the Mouth that Never Shuts:" . . .
. . . "Ed Mosberg is the survivor who coined that gem, and he also happens to be the president of "From the Depths."
More from the New York Post:

"“She should be removed from Congress. She’s spreading anti-Semitism, hatred and stupidity,” Mosberg told The Post. “The people on the border aren’t forced to be there — they go there on their own will. If someone doesn’t know the difference, either they’re playing stupid or they just don’t care.”

"I suppose it's both when it comes to AOC. She's a shameless opportunist who has learned that she can spew any ignorant nonsense and virtually no one in the media will point out the fact that she is a paste-eating moron. In fact, they're stepping up to defend her:" . . .

. . .
 "Mr. Mosberg further clarifies what the MSM won't:

Mosberg, who lost his entire family during the Holocaust and himself survived both the Plaszów and Mauthausen camps, said: “Her statement is evil. It hurts a lot of people. At the concentration camp, we were not free. We were forced there by the Germans who executed and murdered people — there’s no way you can compare.”

"He then offers a genuine, honest assessment of the Brooklyn Bartender:

“She should be taught a lesson,” he said. “If you’re not there, you will never know what happened. She doesn’t want to learn — she’s looking for excuses. I would like to nominate her for the Nobel Prize in stupidity.' ”

Obama Built The ‘Cages’ for Illegals, Not Trump, Says Obama ICE Chief

PJ Media

"Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson visits the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Nogales Placement Center June 25, 2014 (Barry Bahler/Department of Homeland Security)"

"It was only a few months ago that Democrats were dismissing the crisis at the border as manufactured by Trump, and now they’re comparing migrant detention centers to concentration camps and blaming Trump for “putting kids in cages.”

"But for those still trying to blame President Trump, Barack Obama’s former ICE chief, Thomas Homan, has a reality check for them. Speaking at a conference hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, Homan explained that the “cages” Democrats are blaming on Trump were the product of the Obama administration:

“I’ve been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under (Homeland Security) Secretary Jeh Johnson. I was there because I was there when it was built,” said Thomas Homan, who was Obama’s executive associate director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for nearly four years.

At an immigration conference today, Homan, under consideration for a new position of “border czar” in the Trump administration, grew visibly angry answering a question about “cages” often cited by Democratic critics of the president.

Homan, who ran Obama’s successful deportation operation, ripped Democrats who question Trump immigration officials on the Obama-era idea.

He cited one Democratic chairman who asked a Trump official, “You still keeping kids in cages?”

Homan, at the conference hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, said, “I would answer the question, ‘The kids are being housed  in the same facility built under the Obama administration.’ If you want to call them cages, call them cages. But if the left wants to call them cages and the Democrats want to call them cages then they have to accept the fact that they were built and funded in FY 2015.”

"Homan explained that the fencing that separates kids from adults is done for safety reasons. “It’s chain link dividers that keep children separate from unrelated adults. It’s about protecting children,” he said. He also added it’s only temporary accommodations until they are moved elsewhere by the Department of Health and Human Services. According to a Google News search, only conservative media seems to be talking about Homan's comments. Gee, I wonder why." . . .
