Daily Kos:  Iowa Police Shooter a Confederate-Flag-Waving Racist

. . . "I woke up to the news this morning that two Iowa police offers were shot and killed overnight, ambush-style.  As of 9am ET, the gunman was still on the loose.  Predictably, the comments to any news story about this were disgusting, and many comments were aimed at blaming #BlackLivesMatter for the shootings.

"Yet — it appears the suspect, Scott Michael Greene, who is now in custody — was hardly a #BLM adherent and is, in fact, a Confederate-flag waving white man who is aggrieved because he was told to stop waving his confederate flag in front of African Americans at a local football game."
. . . 
Then, with obvious glee, the leftist source adds this: 

"And finally — as if we didn’t know where this was leading, this: "

Final days, awful choice

Charles Krauthammer

"Rule of thumb for a presidential campaign where the two candidates have the highest unfavorable ratings in the history of polling: If you're the center of attention, you're losing.

"As Election Day approaches, Hillary Clinton cannot shake the spotlight. She is still ahead in the polls, but you know she's slipping when she shows up at a Florida campaign event with a week to go accompanied by the former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado.

"The original plan was for Clinton to pivot in the final week of the campaign from relentless criticism of Donald Trump to making a positive case for herself. Instead, she reached back for a six-week-old charge that played well when it first emerged back then but now feels stale and recycled.

"The setback and momentum shift came courtesy of FBI Director James Comey. Clinton's greatest hurdle had always been the Comey primary, which the Democrats thought she'd won in July when he declined to recommend prosecuting her over classified emails. This engendered an outpouring of Democratic encomiums about Comey's unimpeachable integrity and Solomonic wisdom." . . .

'The FBI is Trumpland': anti-Clinton atmosphere spurred leaks, sources say

UK Guardian

"Highly unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton intensified after James Comey’s decision not to recommend an indictment over her use of a private email server"

 

"Deep antipathy to Hillary Clinton exists within the FBI, multiple bureau sources have told the Guardian, spurring a rapid series of leaks damaging to her campaign just days before the election.

"Current and former FBI officials, none of whom were willing or cleared to speak on the record, have described a chaotic internal climate that resulted from outrage over director James Comey’s July decision not to recommend an indictment over Clinton’s maintenance of a private email server on which classified information transited.
. . . 
"This atmosphere raises major questions about how Comey and the bureau he is slated to run for the next seven years can work with Clinton should she win the White House."  Via Drudge.

Feds Probing Clinton Foundation Were Told To ‘Stand Down’

American Civil War locations, then and now

UK Guardian "The women who dug the graves, the kids who watched the largest battle in US history – and the slaves forced to help fighters at the front. 150 years after the last shots were fired, Guardian photographer David Levene travelled across the US photographing the sites scarred by the American civil war

How I photographed the American civil war in 2015   

"Antietam Dunker’s Church  "Bodies at the Dunker Church in Antietam, Maryland, September 1862. The battle of Antietam was the bloodiest single-day battle in US history, and Dunker Church was the focus of Union attacks against the Confederates. In 1921, a storm destroyed the church, but it was rebuilt for the 100th anniversary of the battle in 1962."

" ‘My family lived here during the civil war – they were farmers with 13 children. Their lives were devastated forever. There were wounded here for a year after. Bodies were left in the fields. My great uncle got paid 25 cents per skull to give them a proper burial.’ "

Chilean Mothers Amplify Preborn Heartbeats to Protest Abortion

Kemberlee Kaye  "Reivindica Feminist Movement, a Chilean women’s movement comprised of pro-life feminists and other mothers, held a powerful protest last month. Strapping fetal heart beat monitors to their bellies, pregnant women gave their preborn children a voice."

. . . Reivindica seeks to be a voice for the women forgotten by mainstream feminists; namely, mothers, who feel marginalized by society for choosing Life and motherhood.

Cutting It Close  . . . "Okay, we're not sure that this crazy plan has been put into effect yet, but it wouldn't surprise us.  The Democrats are hell-bent on electing the first woman president by hook or crook, but thanks to Hillary's metastasizing scandals it looks increasingly like they picked the wrong crook for the job..."

"My Final Argument For Trump: Humiliate The Media!"

Ann Coulter  "(EDITORS: Please note graphic language in column.)"
. . . "(2) Trump's a sexual predator!
    "Hillary's husband is a well­ established rapist, groper and pants­dropper. She's his fixer.
    "Unlike the serial predations of her husband, leveled repeatedly throughout the decades, the timing of these 11th­ hour allegations against Trump make them highly suspect.
    "Recall that The New York Times spent months investigating Trump's treatment of women earlier this year. The Newspaper of Record put its best reporters on the job, interviewed a dozen women, and the paper splashed the story on its front page. But the best the Times could come up with was a story about Trump, as a bachelor, publicly praising a model for looking great in a bikini at his pool party. Then they dated.
    "Five months later, just weeks before the election, there doesn't seem to be a female Democrat who isn't claiming to have been groped by Trump ­­ and getting loads of fawning publicity. " . . .

On The Upside, At Least This Election Will Destroy The Media
I hate posting articles that contain the phrase, "my book", but the insights in it are worth reading.

. . . "Let that ping pong around in your brain for a minute. Liberal journalists, by which I mean journalists, do not think you should know things that hurt their favored candidate. This is an interesting new take on the whole idea of “news reporting,” an innovative rethink that refocuses journalists less on ensuring people hear the news and instead focuses on ensuring they only hear certain news that, incidentally, supports the media’s progressive political agenda." . . .

Des Moines Cop-Killings will be a Propaganda Goldmine for Democrats

"Does everyone remember when, after the San Bernardino massacre in 2015, John Podesta lamented that the suspects weren’t white?  Samuel L. Jackson expressed a similar sentiment."

American Thinker  "I think we can expect the latest assassinations of police officers, committed early Wednesday in the Des Moines area, to be a propaganda goldmine for the Left.

"This incident will surely be exploited because, in this particular case, the alleged perpetrator is neither black nor Muslim; were he a member of either of those demographics, we would probably still be waiting for his name and/or photo to be made public."

. . . "I think we can anticipate this story being trumpeted, with barely-suppressed glee, by the Mainstream Media, and perhaps even utilized in remaining campaign appearances by Hillary & Co., as “proof” of the Leftist meme that it is pickup-driving, rebel flag-waving, disaffected, middle-aged “angry white men” (read: Donald Trump supporters) who present a far greater threat to our civilized society than violence-prone Black Lives Matter “activists,” ruthless gang members who illegally sneak across our Southern border, or murderous Jihadis (either “home-grown” or those who have been brought into our country as “refugees”)." . . .

Expect more American historical monuments to be trashed and vilified.

William Safire justified: Hillary Clinton is a congenital liar  "In a notorious 1996 New York Times essay, pundit William Safire famously said this of Hillary Clinton:

Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady – a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation – is a congenital liar.

Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.

FBI probe into Clinton Foundation finds 'avalanche' of corruption evidence against her - but agents fear Justice Department will stop her going on trial
"The FBI's investigation into the Clinton Foundation will likely lead to indictments, unless the Justice Department interferes, sources close to the investigation have claimed. The Clintons are accused of running a pay-for-play operation while Hillary (pictured center boarding her campaign jet) was running the State Department that favored donors to their charity - a charge they have denied. The FBI allegedly have an 'avalanche' of evidence and are 'actively and aggressively pursuing this case'. This latest potential clash between the DOJ and the FBI follows the controversial decision by FBI Director James Comey (top right) to inform Congress that the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server was being reactivated. He and Attorney General Loretta Lynch . . . disagreed on the spectacular timing of his announcement." . . .
