Rashida Tlaib Spouts Politically Correct Anti-Semitism for the 21st Century
. . . "Today’s anti-Semitism portrays Israel as the villain despite the Jewish state’s perpetual struggle to defend itself against attacks from terrorists so full of hate they’re willing to strap bombs on their own children in order to inflict grief and loss on their Jewish neighbors." . . .
. . . "Tlaib says that boycotting Israel is akin to boycotting the Nazi regime. She has it backward, in classic Orwellian fashion. Leading up to the Holocaust, Nazi Germany boycotted, divested, and sanctioned Jewish businesses. Some 75 years later, relatively few Jews remain in Germany." . . .

Who is still aware of this previous boycott, divest, sanction movement?

2018: Wake up Democrats, our party is un-American  . . . "If this problem was temporary, or affecting only a few in leadership, I would still say vote Republican based on their disgraceful behavior during the Judge Kavanaugh hearings. But this has been going on for a long time – something younger Democrats need to know. And no matter what we hear in the media, our party’s current behavior was a problem long before Donald Trump." . . .

America’s Changing Religious Identity

Then there is Ilhan Omar. We await her comment on this: Yikes – Two Somali Refugees Arrested for Conspiring to Provide Material Support to ISIS…  According to court documents, both defendants came to the United States as refugees from Somalia. At the time of their arrest, Mohamed had obtained lawful permanent resident status and Hussein remained a refugee. (read more). And here.

Trump is absolutely right about ‘con man’ Al Sharpton

NY Post

"Once upon a time, when I was editing this newspaper’s opinion pages, somebody decided that it wouldn’t hurt to have a slightly more cordial relationship with the Rev. Al ­Sharpton.

"So there we were, in a Manhattan steakhouse, discussing not much because it quickly had become clear that Sharpton enjoyed being New York’s premier racial grievance-monger, so there was no common ground to be had.

"But he did show a flicker of interest in a $350 cognac on the after-dinner menu — glancing over with amusement in his eyes as the waiter hovered. “If you do, reverend,” I said, “I’m asking for separate checks.”

"Then came that towering thundercloud of a frown — meant to intimidate, as all too often it does.

"I laughed. He screwed his face up tighter. I laughed again.

"And then so did he, and presently the evening ended with a handshake and a personal lesson learned: If you push back at Rev, Al, he’s not so tough.

"Not enough people understand that though — not enough see through the scam." . . .

Black Pastor Says It’s ‘Hard To Believe’ That Trump Is Racist After Meeting With Him
. . . "Owens has previously criticized ex-NFL star Colin Kaepernick for opposing the Betsy Ross flag and is a vocal supporter of the president." . . .

Post-Mueller revelations maybe?

"Additionally, Mr. diGenova states confidently that U.S. Attorney John Durham is not conducting a “review”, but is conducting a full criminal investigation with a grand jury empaneled and currently receiving testimony from witnesses."

Joe diGenova: “Declassified documents will be released this week … by Wednesday” (July 31st)….  

. . . On May 23rd, 2019, President Trump gave AG Bill Barr unilateral authority to declassify documents.  A month later, against the backdrop of more evidence surfacing showing corruption within the DOJ and FBI (June 14th, 2019), and with a negative balance in the trust account, twenty three House republicans asked President Trump not to wait.
"Here’s the list of material possible for declassification, and the intelligence offices who hold custodial authority over the compartmented documents. This was the original list as outlined in 2018: . . .

• All versions of the Carter Page FISA applications (DOJ) (FBI) (ODNI).
• All of the Bruce Ohr 302’s filled out by the FBI. (FBI) (ODNI)
• All of Bruce Ohr’s emails (FBI) (DOJ) (CIA) (ODNI). All supportive documents and material provided by Bruce Ohr to the FBI. (FBI)
• All relevant documents pertaining to the supportive material within the FISA application. (FBI) (DOJ-NSD ) (DoS) (CIA) (DNI) (NSA) (ODNI);
• All intelligence documents that were presented to the Gang of Eight in 2016 that pertain to the FISA application used against U.S. person Carter Page; including all intelligence documents that may not have been presented to the FISA Court. (CIA) (FBI) (DOJ) (ODNI) (DoS) (NSA)  Presumably this would include the recently revealed State Dept Kavalac email; and the FBI transcripts from wiretaps of George Papadopoulos (also listed in Carter Page FISA). [AKA ‘Bucket Five’]
• All unredacted text messages and email content between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok on all devices. (FBI) (DOJ) (DOJ-NSD) (ODNI)
• The originating CIA “EC” or two-page electronic communication from former CIA Director John Brennan to FBI Director James Comey that started Operation Crossfire Hurricane in July 2016. (CIA) (FBI) (ODNI). . .

How to Tell If a Trump Supporter Is Racist

Every conservative knows his responses to these three questions are heartfelt and true, so these questions can help conservatives come to see the left's charge of conservative racism as medieval Jews came to see the anti-Semites' blood libel charge: as a lie.

Dennis Prager, Jewish World Review

Every nonliberal leftist — that is, nearly every Democrat running for president, New York Times and Washington Post columnist, CNN and MSNBC host, and your leftwing brother in-law — labels every Trump supporter and, of course, President Donald Trump, a "racist." 

"And they don't stop there. Leftists don't only label the half of the country that supports the president "racist," they label all whites and America itself "racist." If your son or daughter attends or recently attended an American university, it is close to certain he or she was repeatedly told that America and all whites are racist. According to the left, whites are divided between those who admit they are racist and those who don't admit it. 

"Every conservative and many liberals know this is a big lie. The great question is: Do leftists believe it? It is impossible to know. But this we do know: If you repeat something often enough, and if your Weltanschauung (worldview) and that which gives your life meaning are dependent upon believing something, you will eventually believe it.

"So here is a way to show it is a lie.

"Ask any white conservative, including one who supports Trump, the following three questions: . . .  Full article here.

3 Members Of The Squad Have Deeply Uncertain Political Futures, One May Be A Senator Soon. . .

. . . in the "world's greatest deliberative body".

Clarion News

(L-R) Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) leave after a press conference, to address remarks made by US President Donald Trump earlier in the day, on Capitol Hill July 15, 2019 in Washington, DC. – President Donald Trump stepped up his attacks on four progressive Democratic congresswomen, saying if they’re not happy in the United States “they can leave.” (Photo by Brendan Smialowski/AFP/Getty Images)

"In the span of time it would normally take a new member of Congress to figure out where their floor’s bathroom is, four freshmen House members [have] become the hottest political commodities in a generation.

"Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley — the Squad. From the covers of magazines to unprecedented solo town halls on cable television typically reserved for presidential candidates, the junior Jacobins of the Democratic caucus occupy the daily news cycle at a level that rivals one tweeter-in-chief Donald Trump.

"But how long can this last?

"The mythologizing of the Squad’s ascent as the ushering in of a new era in American politics doesn’t hold up to scrutiny when examined closely. Two of them, Tlaib and Omar were running for open seats, and the two that challenged incumbents, AOC and Pressley were running against fossilized, white politicians in majority-minority districts that hadn’t had a real election in almost a decade." . . .

Sources weighing in on Baltimore

The city of Baltimorereceived $1.8 billion of our money under the guise of Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with little to show for it.  We have stuffed the pockets of race pimps and their hateful political benefactors as they organize mobs like Antifa and Black Lives Matter to physically attack us.   M. Catharine Evans

Is Obama Canceled? Former President Also Trashed Baltimore, The 
Gem Of The Chesapeake  "So, apparently, Baltimore has been this gem on the Chesapeake that is immune to criticism because…Democrats run it. No, it’s because President Donald Trump decided to take a swing at Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), whose district swings into parts of the city. Baltimore has a crime problem, it’s corrupt, and it’s rat-infested. These were things that Trump pointed out that sent the Democratic Party into meltdown mode. You bet the accusation of racism were hurled." . . .

President Trump targets money-grubbing Democrats shackling their voters to hellhole cities  "It's about time we had a president shine a light on these race-baiting so-called civil rights icons like Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), whose "own" people live in rat-infested, feces-encrusted, gun-controlled kill zones while he and his fellow third-world thugs amass millions.  Cummings is just one in a cabal of looters whose accident of birth endowed them with a skin color that yields a high rate of return.

. . . Speaker Nancy Pelosi also weighed in from Italy, where, according to reports, she is not exactly visiting the poor and downtrodden.  No, Nancy, another congressperson worth hundreds of millions while her constituents defecate, shoot up, and sleep on the streets of San Francisco, was dining at a classy Venetian restaurant as she defended Cummings, calling him "a beloved leader in Baltimore."

From comedian Argus Hamilton:

  "President Trump met with an inner city group Monday to the catcalls of Democrats who say he just pays lip service to civil rights. It’s a steady drumbeat that wears on Trump’s credibility. Over the weekend, President Trump called Baltimore disgusting and rat-infested, and yet still people say he lies              "President Trump fired back at his border policy critic Congressman Elijah Cummings Friday and ripped his Baltimore home district for being rat infested. In reply CNN and MS-NBC called Trump a racist over eleven hundred times during the weekend.  Just what race do they think rats are?              "President Trump’s attack on Elijah Cummings’s squalid West Baltimore district is a recitation of rat infestation and high crime rate detailed by the Baltimore Sun and PBS.  Trump said nobody wants to live in Baltimore now, and thanks to the murder rate, many of their dreams are coming true              "Elijah Cummings’s House district includes the black area of West Baltimore and the extremely wealthy Horse Country region in Maryland that extends to the Eastern Shore.  Both precincts recognize the first rule of capitalism. Build a better mousetrap and the world will still call you a racist" . . .

This is what kabuki Theater looks like

"As surely and inflexibly ritualistic as its Japanese antecedent, yet another Kabuki performance is on display in our media. As koto music is plucked in the background, we see Donald Trump astride the stage, boldly making an "insensitive" tweet. His antagonist, in this case Elijah "Bowling Ball Head" Cummings, then dramatically declares that Trump is a racist for calling his largely black congressional district a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess" and a "very dangerous & filthy place." Offstage, kodo drums beat loudly to indicate that a storm is gathering or, perhaps, just to wake up an audience that has seen this drama way too often.

"Unavoidably, anything we could say about this idiocy would pretty much be Kabuki commentary at this point, so we'll just say that it's pretty odd for a President of the United States to be called a white racist because he says that poor black Americans should be able to live in communities which aren't filled with rats, poverty, and crime.

"Elijah Cummings is, of course, against that notion..."

Kamala Harris Defends Al Sharpton, Ignores Freddie’s Fashion Mart Massacre And Tawana Brawley Hoax

RedState  "As Brandon Morse wrote earlier today, President Trump rippedMSNBC‘s Al Sharpton for deciding to make a visit to Baltimore in the aftermath of the tweets Trump wrote over the weekend criticizing the city and longtime Rep. Elijah Cummings (D), whose Congressional district runs through Baltimore.

"As they did for Cummings, Democrats lined up on the Twitter machine to defend Sharpton. One of the more notable ones was 2020 presidential candidate and Sen. Kamala Harris (CA), who has enjoyed an uptick in polling since her racial broadside against frontrunner Joe Biden at the last debate.

"Here’s what Harris tweeted about Sharpton:

Let's flashback to when @JoeNBC introduced a resolution in Congress condemning "the racist and anti-semitic views of the Reverend Al Sharpton":https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/106/hconres270 …

The Freddie’s Fashion Mart Massacre:

In 1995 a black Pentecostal Church, the United House of Prayer, which owned a retail property on 125th Street, asked Fred Harari, a Jewish tenant who operated Freddie’s Fashion Mart, to evict his longtime subtenant, a black-owned record store called The Record Shack. Sharpton led a protest in Harlem against the planned eviction of The Record Shack. Sharpton told the protesters, “We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business.”

On December 8, 1995, Roland J. Smith Jr., one of the protesters, entered Harari’s store with a gun and flammable liquid, shot several customers and set the store on fire. The gunman fatally shot himself, and seven store employees died of smoke inhalation Fire Department officials discovered that the store’s sprinkler had been shut down, in violation of the local fire code. Sharpton claimed that the perpetrator was an open critic of himself and his nonviolent tactics. In 2002, Sharpton expressed regret for making the racial remark “white interloper” but denied responsibility for inflaming or provoking the violence.

The Tawana Brawley Rape Hoax: . . .
. . . 
"Democrats and the mainstream media have been trying to sweep Sharpton’s true racist, anti-Semitic nature under the rug for decades, which has given him an air of respectability in media circles. But you can’t keep the truth hidden for long, and Sharpton pretending to play the role of racial healer in response to Trump’s (non-racist) criticisms about Cummings and his district is irony on steroids."

Antifa Adopts AOC’s Language To Defend Itself

Hot Air

. . . "And there you have it. We’re not bad people. We’re your neighbors! Neighbors with bats, wearing masks so we can get violent with impunity. Really the best they can say is that they aren’t all violent and therefore it’s not fair to label them all violent. Yes, except anyone who chooses to dress in black and travel with violent people in their midst is doing so to create camouflage for the violent as a matter of considered strategy. Here’s the final list of things the group condemns:

We, the undersigned, wholly condemn any attempt to criminalize community efforts to stop white supremacist assaults and close concentration camps.

"Just a week after one of their own showed up at an ICE facility with bombs and a rifle, they’re demanding their efforts to stop “concentration camps” not be criminalized. So you can see they’ve adopted AOC language wholesale and that they have no regret for the attack on the ICE facility." . . .

The Gilroy shooter: Santino William Legan: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Heavy  "Santino William Legan has been identified as the 19-year-old suspect accused of killing three people and wounding several others in a mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California, according to CBS News. The shooting Sunday night on the final day of the annual charity event at Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy left three dead, 12 injured and the suspected shooter, Legan, killed by police. Several others were injured in the chaos after shots were fired, but were not shot, authorities said.
. . . 

"One witness who told reporters they’d come face to face with the gunman and asked why he was doing this was told, “Because I’m really angry.”

"According to a CNN report, a neighbor of the Legan’s recognized the young man saying that while she did not know the family personally, she remarked that Legan and his siblings are “…very nice kids. When I found out this morning, I was shocked. This is a quiet place.' ”

1. Legan, Who Identifies as Being of Italian & Iranian Descent, Posted on Instagram Before the Shooting. The Account Was Removed, but Heavy Obtained Screenshots

2. Legan’s Family Members Are Well Known in His Native Gilroy — His Grandfather Was a Santa Clara County Supervisor, His Father Was a Champion Runner & Legan’s Brother Is a Noted Boxer

3. Legan, Armed With a Rifle he Purchased Legally in Nevada, Cut Through a Fence to Avoid Security Measures at the Garlic Festival, Police Say

4. Legan Was Shot by Police Just Minutes After the First Shots Rang Out, Sending Panicked Festivalgoers Racing Toward Exits & Into Hiding

5. Gilroy Police Chief Smithee Said as Soon as Legan Saw His Officers, he Fired at Them & They Fired Back, With Handguns Versus an Assault Rifle Killing Him & Saving Countless Lives

Surviving an Active Shooter Situation

OffGridSurvival "While active shooter situations are still pretty rare, it’s a phenomenon that does seem to be increasing in regularity. From the theater shooting in Colorado to terrorist attacks around the globe, these mass shooting events do happen, and they are something that we need to be prepared to respond to." . . .

. . . AVOID GUN-FREE ZONES!

"It may sound counter-intuitive, especially if you listen to the mainstream media, but most of these mass shootings occur in gun-free zones. The cowards who commit these massacres know that they will find little resistance in these so-called “safe zones” so more often than not they select these targets to carry out their crimes. Criminals, terrorists, and the mentally insane don’t care about Gun Control Laws.

"Personally, I avoid these areas like the plague, but if you are forced to go into one of these areas at the very least you should consider carrying some sort of improvised weapon."

Good bye, Baltimore

Indeed, if you want to see what liberal Democratic policies tend to produce, go to any one of those cities, or other Democratic strongholds. Democrats promise to help the poor and downtrodden, grow the middle class, make life more fair. But their policies consistently produce the opposite.  John Merline, I&I

I&I: Trump’s Attack on Baltimore Doesn’t Go Far Enough  . . . "On Friday, Trump attacked Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings, who had been complaining about conditions at the border, by saying “his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous.” Trump called it “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”
. . . 

"Naturally, Trump’s tweets are being labeled as racist. Never mind that Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders was saying far worse things about the city a few years ago, when he said that when you go to west Baltimore you “would think you were in a Third World country.” 
"Trump, meanwhile, extended his attack to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home town of San Francisco. 
"He should widen his lens even further. " . . .

Guess which channel: "Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) reacted to President Donald Trump’s attacks on Rep Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and Baltimore."

Don Surber: Trump makes Baltimore the symbol of Democrats  . . . "Democrats took the death of one man and turned it into the deaths of hundreds. Police officer retirements went up. Recruitment went down. The poorest neighborhoods became war zones and dumps.
"Now President Trump has shined the spotlight on Baltimore. Instead of ignoring his tweets, the liberal crowd pounced, which only underscored his message.
"Baltimore Sun quickly exuded an editorial, "Better to have a few rats than to be one." A couple of its white columnists came in on a sunny Saturday to denounce as racist the president telling the truth." . . .

Baltimore Ambush: Trump forces Democrats to defend the indefensible, again  . . . Just as he forced Democrats to defend the far-left 'Squad' in his unexpected ambush on Rep.

@realDonaldTrump

Rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in the USA......

. . . "How are Democrats going to defend themselves from this one? In one-party blue cities, states and districts, there's no one to blame but themselves. Trump's tactic is particularly ripe for propagation in solid-blue, shambling expensive California and already Trump is moving his attack onto Pelosi with his latest tweets."

Just ask the people who live in Baltimore  "Back in the 1970s, I attended school in Maryland and spent a lot of time in Baltimore.  I was there during a charmed Renaissance headed by mayor and then Governor William Schaeffer.  He oversaw the investment and development of the Inner Harbor and all those residential areas that went up downtown.  It was wonderful, and going downtown was great.

"Lately, it's not so pretty.  The city is a disaster and the one-party rule does not help.

"President Trump is challenging Representative Elijah Cummings to do something about his district for a change.  As expected, President Trump is being called a racist for holding "sacred cows" like Representative Cummings accountable." . . .

Todd Starnes: Trump is right – Baltimore mistreated by elected Dems, residents deserve better  . . . "For decades the Democrats have promised them jobs, good schools and safe communities.

Proud of yourselves, lefties? Leftists turn 'deplorable' beauty queen into Trump magnet

She's young. She's beautiful. She's smart and academically accomplished. And she's been treated like dirt, solely for the 'crime' of liking President Trump. She's also quite famous now, in a way that all the other beauty queens can only envy.

Could the US Women's soccer team forfeit their trophy because of their obscene, foul behavior on the field and afterward?

Monica Showalter  "Simply for liking President Trump, the left was going to make an example of that deplorable 20-year-old. They were going to make her pay.

"And for awhile there, they got away with it. Young Kathy Zhu, the newly crowned Miss Michigan, lost her title on account of her "offensive" tweets. The press went through every last one of the crown winner's tweets over the years and found a couple they decided were 'offensive,' 'racist,' and 'insensitive,' broadcasting those. After that, the Miss World pageant organization de-throned her.

"Justice. The left triumphs. That'll teach those Trump-supporting deplorables their lesson.

"Except that now in place of a mere beauty queen, the left has got a Frankenstein's monster on their hands.

"Zhu has been offered a prominent place on the Trump 2020 campaign. She's going to be out there, winning votes for Trump, padding his total further.     Here's CBS's sneering report:

Some media creep, who follows beauty contests very, very, very closely (and most of us don't - cripes, these contests have the depth of whirled peas!) searched her tweets one by one, going through years of them, and then doxxed her to come up with the perfect years-old bad tweets to virtue signal with. The tweets were weak tea, but they decided that they were enough to pin her for a Bull Connor racist and they did. 

USA Today has this:

. . . The first was an incident that dates  to 2018, in which Zhu went up to a Muslim Student Association booth celebrating World Hijab Day and declined to wear a hijab when prompted. She then tweeted:

 "There is a 'try a hijab on' booth at my college campus.
So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?"
