Will this give both left and right a clue as to what's in store for this nation?

When the horrific events in El Paso and Dayton occurred, many of them did not wait five minutes before blaming Trump.  At the same time, protestors were gathering at Sen. Mitch McConnell's home, shrieking all manner of hopes for his demise. 

. . .The American left sees itself as the hunters and assumes it will win this struggle against Trump. They must go down in metaphorical flames of defeat or the country will be lost." . . .

'The Hunt': A most dangerous game the Democrats are playing . . . "Today we learned that Universal Studios in May of 2018 greenlighted a film called The Hunt.  It is about "deplorables," Trump supporters, who are apparently drugged and kidnapped only to be stalked for sport by elite liberals.   Lovely.  Cookie-cutter versions of these same people, in the foulest of words, accuse President Trump of "extreme rhetoric" 24/7 on CNN and MSNBC, but, most likely, they love the idea of this film.  Promote violence against conservatives?  That's their game and they are proud of it.  They feel as justified calling for the murder of Trump supporters as Gen. Zaroff does, hunting men for sport.  This is how far off the reservation of civilized normalcy the left is today. " . . .   

Rosanna Arquette: ‘I’m Sorry I Was Born White and Privileged. It Disgusts Me’

. . . "Not to be outdone by Hollywood moonbats, many members of Congress are on the same bandwagon." :
 Joaquin Castro thought it would be clever to publish the names of Trump donors in his neck of the woods.  Clearly he was hoping people would show up at their homes and torment them.
. . . Rashida Tlaib's profane and vicious outbursts are as ill-considered as those of the terminally dumb Beto O'Rourke.
. . . The same goes, of course, for Ilhan Omar, the fraudster, liar and incestuous bigamist in the House.  These three would be the first to sign up for a game to hunt conservatives for fun.

Hollywood Film Depicts Trump Supporters Being Hunted for Sport by Liberals

The script for The Hunt features the red-state characters wearing trucker hats and cowboy shirts, with one bragging about owning seven guns because it's his constitutional right. The blue-state characters — some equally adept with firearms — explain that they picked their targets because they expressed anti-choice positions or used the N-word on Twitter. "War is war," says one character after shoving a stiletto heel through the eye of a denim-clad hillbilly.

. . . "How exactly did anyone think this was a good idea even before the El Paso and Dayton shootings? In June 2017, a Bernie Sanders supporter and left-wing activist shot at Republican members of Congress who were practicing for the annual Congressional Baseball Game for charity. The shooter had specifically inquired as to whether the team practicing was made of Republicans or Democrats. The same year, Senator Rand Paul was assaulted by his own neighbor and just this past week had part of his lung surgically removed because of injuries sustained in that attack. Apparently, some in Hollywood are more than willing to promote violence against Trump supporters. Meanwhile, Democrats and liberals in the media want us to believe that it's Trump’s rhetoric that needs to be toned down." . . .

 Peter Skurkiss: Heading for civil war

. . . "The media coordinates this campaign and amplifies the hate at every opportunity. Media twist every event, be it big or small, into a criticism of the president. The goal is always to present Trump in not just an unfavorable light but to make him appear too loathsome for polite society. And Trump is not the sole target of this demonization. It is directed at his supporters, too." . . . 

CIVIL WAR AS ENTERTAINMENT

The script for The Hunt features the red-state characters wearing trucker hats and cowboy shirts, with one bragging about owning seven guns because it’s his constitutional right. The blue-state characters — some equally adept with firearms — explain that they picked their targets because they expressed anti-choice positions or used the N-word on Twitter. “War is war,” says one character after shoving a stiletto heel through the eye of a denim-clad hillbilly.

Adding to the threats coming from Hollywood and academia we have CNN, MSNBC, among others. Do not think things will be more peaceful if Trump leaves the scene. The door is open and any conservative will be excoriated and threatened. Just ask Tucker Carlson, Justice Kavanaugh, and Senator McConnell. TD

Firearm Advocate Turns Tables On CNN Town Hall: ‘Do You Believe A Woman Has A Right To Choose’ Method Of Self-Defense?

Daily Caller

. . . "Referencing the argument made by many abortion-rights advocates, Inacker continued, “My question is do you believe a woman has a right to choose whether or not to defend her own body? And in the manner she chooses? And the government should not interfere with that decision?”

"Former Philadelphia police commissioner Charles Ramsey responded first, saying, “That’s a little off the topic here. But I do believe in a woman’s right to choose. Into the area about ‘any means she chooses,’ I don’t know what you mean by that. There are laws if you’re talking about deadly force. For example: You carry a gun or whatever. There are certain circumstances under which you can resort to deadly force,” he added, noting that using deadly force when the law was not on her side could result in legal trouble down the road.

“ 'Certainly if you’re assaulted or whatever, you have a right to defend yourself. When you talk about deadly force that’s different,” he concluded.

"Cuomo jumped in then, saying that she had made an interesting argument. “You’re playing on what we see with reproductive rights. In each case people who are making the impassioned argument what’s the concern? The concern is the well being of the person who winds up being the recipient of the act. Right? Talking about reproductive rights, which obviously isn’t what we’re talking about but still important. It’s what about the fetus? Or the baby? When is it a person? You’re thinking about who is going to be impacted by the decision that’s made. That’s the same thing here. I have a right to own a gun. I do. I do own a gun. My right has restrictions on it. Right?' ” . . .

Voter Intimidation: It’s a Democrat thing

But...but . . . he said that he just wanted to "start a conversation".

Dianny

Dianny of Patriot Retort

"Taking a page out of the Klan’s voter intimidation playbook, a United States Congressman tweeted out a list of San Antonio citizens who committed the unpardonable sin of donating the maximum to President Trump’s reelection campaign.  

"Joaquin Castro, chairman of his brother’s Presidential campaign, wrote in his accompanying tweet:

Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump — the owner of ‪[deleted by Dianny], owner of the [deleted by Dianny], realtor [deleted by Dianny], etc.

Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.’

"The Democrat Party’s election strategy is the same today as it was a century ago: Voter Intimidation.

"What other possible reason would there be for publicizing on social media the names and employers of campaign contributors?

"What Joaquin Castro did is the social media equivalent of dragging them into the town square, shaving their heads and letting a frothing crowd taunt and harass them. And if the Democrats’ foot soldiers show up at their homes and threaten them, all the better, right? Sure, they’re not burning crosses on their front lawns anymore. Now they’ll just vandalize their property while banging on their doors and screaming threats.

"But this isn’t just voter intimidation targeting those specific donors. It has a broader objective as well." . . .

So will Joaquin Castro return all those donations he took from the Trump donors he doxxed?  . . . Anyone who believes that Castro is capable of a 'lament' is out to lunch. His series of tweets were pure malevolence, worsened by a barrage of bald-faced lies trying to make himself look like the good guy.

"It all went so swimmingly for him, too. Until Fox News turned up an uncomfortable fact:" . . .

Joaquin Castro Accidentally Outs One of His Own Donors While Shaming Trump Supporters  . . . “ 'People should not be personally targeted for their political views, period,” [House minority leader Steve] Scalise said. “This isn’t a game. It’s dangerous, and lives are at stake. I know this firsthand.' ” . . .

Yeah, in this great country of ours, you can support both Democrats in once cycle and Republicans in the next, which makes this move by Joaquin even more idiotic.
. . . "He quasi-doxxed his own supporters (via Fox News): . . ."

Maybe Trump should imitate Joaquin Castro  . . . "President Trump should release the names of every Democrat who accepted a campaign contribution from him.  In fact, there are quite a few on the list and some are calling him a "racist" today:    

Kamala Harris received money from Donald Trump as recently as six years ago. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner hosted a Park Avenue fundraiser for Cory Booker. Kirsten Gillibrand took in Trump family donations three times across a seven-year period -- and then gave a similar amount of money to a nonprofit years later after the president mocked her in a tweet.

As the president gears up for his re-election fight, donor records show that six of the declared or potential Democrats itching to take him on have themselves been the beneficiaries of his -- or his daughter’s -- largesse.

. . . "However, he should point out that these Democrats never returned his money.  This is especially true given the calls that he is a racist or been associated with white [supremacists] over the years." . . .

. . . "As some of you are aware, we failed in our commitment to ferociously guard the sanctity of your echo chamber this week. A headline appeared on our front page suggesting Orange Man spoke against racism. While the headline was factual, it was a flagrant betrayal of the service you expect us to provide and we literally stopped the presses to fix it.

"We listened to our readers on how to proceed from there. The headline writer was an elderly holdover from the days when we were a newspaper. But today’s lovepaper business is different. Inspired by the Texas revolutionary Joaquin Castro, our editorial board decided to take out a full page ad in our own paper to publish his home address and pictures of his family. Then we mobilized our 52,247 interns to brigade his employer, us, with phone calls to report that we have a racist in our ranks. The writer was immediately fired. Our interns, known as TimesHelpers, chucked milkshakes at him as he sadly strolled through the lobby with his little NPR tote bag full of desktop knick knacks. Just as he reached the door we unchained Sarah Jeong and watched gleefully as she dismembered and ate him alive.

Never Trump quandary: When you want Trump to lose but can't bear his Democratic opponents

. . . Only a few Never Trumpers would be able to support a Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, or Kamala Harris. Some would probably be happy with Joe Biden, but perhaps more the Biden of their memories than the man who will have to move far enough left to capture the Democratic nomination. So, with no hope of stopping Trump inside the GOP, and with Democrats moving in an unacceptable direction, what to do? . . .

Byron York  "The Democratic debates have been hard on Never Trumpers. The small but vocal group of Republicans and former Republicans who oppose President Trump has watched in horror as Democrats veered leftward, embracing "Medicare-for-all," virtually open borders, sky-high taxes, and other positions no conservative could ever accept. The Never Trumpers see disaster coming in the form of the president winning reelection over a Democrat who moved too far left for the American voter.

"So they issue warnings. The Democrats' performance in the most recent debate was "worse than farcical," the New York Times' Bret Stephens wrote. "It's tragic. It will make the Trump campaign's job of selling the president as the non-insane option in next year's election shamefully easy."

"Bill Kristol, the former Dan Quayle aide who founded the now-shuttered Weekly Standard, tweeted, "Best moment in this debate: 'It's time for closing statements.'"

"After the first debate — a widely watched event that gave voters across the nation their initial impression of the Democratic field — some Never Trumpers were deeply alarmed.

" 'Trump wants to portray Democrats as open-border socialists," wrote the Washington Post's Max Boot. "And in their eagerness to court progressive primary voters, the candidates are playing into his hands."

"The alarm sometimes felt personal, as when the Times' David Brooks issued a plea: "Dems, Please Don't Drive Me Away." The columnist announced that he could "never in a million years vote for Donald Trump" and plaintively asked Democrats: "Will there be a candidate I can vote for?"

"Maybe not. The fretting and complaining, coming from people who had been Republicans until Trump came along, set some liberals on edge." . . .

It's an Invasion!...of Moronic Arguments

Ian Macfarlane

"A few months before shooting up a GOP baseball game, Hodgkinson wrote on his Facebook page: "Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co.”  Based on the new El Paso standard for branding beliefs “hateful,” “toxic" and “material support” for terrorism, every Democratic presidential candidate should be on a terrorist watch list right now." 

 Ann Coulter  "BREAKING NEWS: MASS SHOOTING IN DAYTON, OHIO, LAST SATURDAY NIGHT. (This may not be news to you, but I watch MSNBC, so I didn’t find out about the Dayton massacre until yesterday.) 

"There were two horrifying mass shootings recently, but our media are fixated on only one -- the one in El Paso, Texas -- because the shooter, Patrick Crusius, issued a “manifesto” that contained some of the same arguments made by Trump about illegal immigration.
"Crusius began: “This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas. They are the instigators, not me. I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion.”
"Wait a second! Didn’t Trump use the word “invasion” to describe our wide-open border? Why, that makes him a co-conspirator in the white supremacist’s slaughter!
"Of course, if we believe the part of Crusius’ manifesto that talks about an “invasion,” I don’t know why we’re required to disbelieve the part where he says his ideas have nothing to do with Trump -- or the part where he denies being a “white supremacist.”
"But those are the rules. A white supremacist, who committed mass murder in El Paso, made arguments that “echoed” those made by President Trump -- and pay no attention to the avowed socialist and Elizabeth Warren-supporter who committed a mass shooting in Dayton later that day.
"The hunt is on to find anyone who has ever used the I-word about illegal immigration." . . .

Just two years ago, a gung-ho Bernie Sanders supporter, James Hodgkinson, drove to the nation’s capital and gunned down Republicans on a Virginia baseball field . . .Hodgkinson was inspired to commit attempted mass murder by his passionate desire for universal health care and his hatred of Republicans (especially Trump). These toxic beliefs were regularly reinforced by his favorite TV programs, "The Rachel Maddow Show,” "Real Time With Bill Maher” and "Democracy Now!”

Sister Of Slain El Paso Couple Calls Democrats ‘Pure Evil’ For Not Welcoming Trump

“It’s such a shame that two of our local politicians (I refuse to say their names as they don’t deserve it) are saying that our President is not welcome on Wednesday,” Anchondo wrote on Facebook. “I cannot believe how these monsters are using the tragic event to push their political agenda.”

"Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar . . . told CNN* Tuesday that she refused an invitation from the White House to stand with the president in El Paso."  *CNN of course.

Mass Shootings in Gun-Free Zones  "For good reason these self-congratulatory zones have become a way of death."
"So, while our politicians contemplate possible measures to reduce mass casualty attacks, they should consider passing laws that would impose criminal and civil penalties on any and all private persons and government officials who create and maintain gun-free zones without simultaneously providing effective armed security for all individuals while they are inside such hazardous man-made potential killing fields.

Murder, it’s a Democrat thing. MSNBC, CNN, are you listening?

Rob's Right

Selwyn Duke  "With leftists seeking to blame the El Paso shooting on President Trump, guns, white people and whatever other boogieman will help score political points, a simple fact should be understood:
Murder is a Democrat thing.
"We can start with the striking statistic that 68 percent of all homicides occur in just certain parts of 5 percent of America's counties — and all, or virtually all, of these are Democrat areas.
"Also striking is Democrats' devolution on prenatal infanticide. The line always was, though the savvy never believed it, "We want abortion to be safe, legal and rare." Leftists also insisted that "we don't really know when life begins" or when "an unviable tissue mass becomes a baby." To echo Barack Obama's debate disclaimer from some years ago, that's above their "pay grade."
"But all that has been aborted. Now leftists support prenatal infanticide up until birth, and sometimes beyond, though this is subject to change without notice. (Coming, perhaps, is the day leftists will absolutely know when an “unviable tissue mass” becomes human: when it can vote Democrat.)
"In other words, yes, he’s a baby; yes, he’s human.
"And, yes, you can murder him because you feel like it. How sociopathic can you get?

"This devolution is no surprise. Leftists are, almost one and all, de facto atheists; as such, they essentially believe man is just a material being, a chemicals-and-water organic robot. To quote barrel-of-laughs botanist Lawrence Trevanion, people are “objects that perceive.' ” . . .

"The Democratic Party has descended into a maelstrom of hate."

One of the most ridiculous statements you may hear today

https://www.facebook.com/groups/ConservativePoliticalCartoons/

Twitchy via Weasel Zippers: "OK, here’s the truth: At first we were going to do this post, and then we weren’t going to do it, because wading through all of the responses to this tweet was absolutely soul-crushing. This nation is utterly broken if the number of people who believe this guy’s theory can be extrapolated to the general population.

"We get that CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times (after it was shamed into line) are all going full-blast with the news that President Trump is a white supremacist. Beto O’Rourke can’t shut up about it. And Saturday’s mass shooting in El Paso can be laid at Trump’s feet for inciting violence against people of color.

"But in the absence of Alex Jones, NBC News has turned to its national security contributor to explain exactly why the president has ordered the American flag flown at half-staff until August 8. 8/8? And the eighth letter of the alphabet is H, which stands for Hitler. 88 = Heil Hitler."   Watch this repulsive incident here,

. . . 

"Again, here’s where we’d embed some tweets of people who buy this theory, but the numbers are frightening. Even ordering flags flown at half-staff in honor of the mass shooting victims is a white supremacist act now.

"And InfoWars was the one banned from all social media while this guy collects a paycheck from NBCUniversal for floating theories the 4chan guys would be embarrassed to use for a prank. And The Babylon Bee gets fact-checked and flagged as fake news?"

Remember this from 2016? Did Laura Ingraham Give A Nazi Salute At Republican Convention?

No opinion is too ridiculous for the left to publish.

Monica Lewinsky to produce American Crime Story drama about Clinton scandal

UK Guardian

Latest series of the US hit show will recount the former White House intern’s affair with the then president that led to his impeachment in 1998

"Monica Lewinsky is among the producers on a new series of American Crime Story focusing on the Bill Clinton sex scandal.

"Titled Impeachment: American Crime Story, the Ryan Murphy-helmed anthology drama will recount the notorious affair between the then US president Clinton and former White House intern Lewinsky, and the subsequent impeachment proceedings called against him by the US House of Representatives.

"Booksmart star Beanie Feldstein will star as Lewinsky, with Sarah Paulson playing Linda Tripp, the civil servant who secretly recorded phone calls the 22-year-old made about her affair with Clinton, who was 27 years her senior.

"The series will premiere in September 2020 in the US, and is expected to air in the UK soon after. The previous two series of American Crime Story have been shown on BBC Two in the UK, as part of the broadcaster’s syndication deal with the US.

"Impeachment has been adapted by Murphy from Jeffrey Toobin’s book A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President. Murphy originally optioned the book in 2017, but shelved plans to bring it to TV last year as he felt that such a project would be “gross” without the contribution of Lewinsky.

"However, with Lewinsky’s involvement, Impeachment is now going ahead. In a statement to Vanity Fair, she said that she had been hesitant to sign on to the series, but was swayed by the opportunity to “reclaim my narrative”." . . .

Because of all that happened, Clinton will forever be known by this cartoon meme:

Joaquin Castro Shares Names and Employers of Trump Donors in His San Antonio District

Breitbart

"Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), twin brother of Democrat presidential candidate Julián Castro, took to Twitter Monday and posted the names and employers of dozens of individuals – residing in his own San Antonio district – who contributed the maximum amount to President Trump’s re-election campaign.

"Castro, who serves as the chair of his brother’s presidential campaign, allegedly posted the names of 44 San Antonio residents who donated the maximum amount to Trump’s re-election campaign in what appears to be an attempt to shame them.

“ 'Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump,” Castro wrote in a tweet posted to his unverified campaign account, before listing the names of some of the specific donors and accusing them of “fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.'”

"Breitbart News reached out to Joaquin Castro’s team to confirm that the unverified campaign account is, in fact, operated by the congressman but did not receive a comment. However, Breitbart News can conclude that it is his campaign’s account, as it was listed in an archived version of his congressional campaign page.

"Additionally, Julián Castro’s national press secretary, Sawyer Hackett, responded to criticism of the tweet and defended its sentiments, reaffirming that the account is indeed connected to Rep. Castro:" . . .

Todd Starnes: DESPICABLE! Democrat Congressman Names & Shames Texas Trump Donors

“Naming private citizens & their employers, targeting them for political views and exercising 1st Amendment rights,” Murtaugh wrote on Twitter. “At the very least (Castro) is inviting harassment of these private citizens. At worst, he’s encouraging violence. Will media concerned about “rhetoric” care about this? He’s listing people and their employers.”I have a message for Congressman Castro and his twin brother – gun-toting, Bible-clinging Deplorables will not be bullied.

The question on many minds is just how low will Democrats go?

. . . Not ones to leave anything to chance, the agenda-driven media has also gone after Trump's allies to send the message that it's not worth the risk to openly support this president.

The latest mass shootings: a gift to the Democrats

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

VIDEO: Conway Goes Off on Dems for Politicizing Shootings  "Counselor to President Trump, Kellyanne Conway, went off on Democrats for politicizing the shootings last weekend in Texas and Ohio.
"To say that the propaganda from Democrats and the leftist media is over the top is an understatement! From Democrats like Beto O’Rourke to CNN and MSNBC, it’s been nonstop hate from the left towards President Trump and his supporters.
"Conway has had it with the politicization of these mass shootings and spoke out this morning on Fox & Friends:" . . .

. . . "MSNBC’s Mika Brezinski openly said on-air that this is something that Democrats could capitalize on: “It seems to me that this political issue could be something that the Democrats could get some traction on.”
"The president has done nothing “racist” and has denounced hate of ANY kind. What else should he do?
"The fear-mongering from Democrats:
"The left wasted no time in making the shooting in El Paso into a chance to grandstand.
"Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke rushed to his hometown of El Paso but didn’t keep a low profile. It’s obvious that O’Rourke is making this into an opportunity to campaign.
"He boldly went in front of any camera he could find to make this horrible and very tragic shooting into a political statement against President Trump. He called the president a “racist” and said he “stokes racism”: . . ."
"This is more of the same from the Democrats who went from Russia, Russia, Russia to Racist, Racist, Racist…"
So typical:

Current Sr. Google Engineer Goes Public on Camera: Tech is “dangerous,” “taking sides”

Project Veritas  (New York City) "Project Veritas has published an on-the-record interview with an insider who works at Google named Greg Coppola. This video interview follows a series of insider Google reports, including internal Google documents, recently published by Project Veritas which exposed political bias, “algorithmic unfairness,” and the use of “blacklists” at YouTube.
"Coppola is a senior software engineer at Google who works on artificial intelligence and the Google Assistant:

COPPOLA: I’ve been coding since I was ten [years old.] I have a PhD, I have five years’ experience at Google and I just know how algorithms are. They don’t write themselves. We write them to do what want them to do.”

(Other brave individuals who feel compelled to expose wrongdoing they witness can contact Project Veritas by sending an encrypted email to VeritasTips@protonmail.com.)

“that can be dangerous…” 
The insider spoke with Project Veritas because he wants people to be aware of his concerns about technology companies’ ability to influence politics:

COPPOLA: “Well I think we’re just at a really important point in human history. I think for a while we had tech that was politically neutral. Now we have tech that really, first of all is taking sides in a political contest, which I think, you know, anytime you have big corporate power merging with political parties can be dangerous. And I think more generally we have to just decide now that we kind of are seeing tech use its power to manipulate people. It’s a time to decide, you know, do we run the technology, does the technology run us?”

"Coppola believes that Google’s political motivations have compromised the integrity of the company’s Search and News products:. . . "
