So When CAN We Slander Victims Of The Police? – Part 1
"This is part one, about the “Okay To Slander” chumps. There aren’t a lot of these to choose from because the people liberals don’t like rarely fight with the police." ... "DON’T LIKE: law enforcement officers, gun enthusiasts, and right-wing protesters. LIKE: criminals and left-wing protesters." . . .
"When is it okay to “slander” the victim of a police shooting? It all depends on the politics of the victim.
"Ever since Renee Good and Alex Pretti got themselves killed by interfering with federal law enforcement while in possession of deadly weapons, the media have been in a fit about the Trump administration’s plan to investigate the agitators’ ties to anti-ICE activist groups.
"The federal government is facing a militarized, highly disciplined, violent left-wing operation that will do anything to prevent a single illegal alien from being deported. This includes road-blocking, screaming, blowing whistles, face-to-face confrontations, arson, vandalism, even assassination.
"But for wanting to gather information on these two troublemakers, The Hill newspaper thundered at the administration: “the expectation is straightforward: you investigate the use of deadly force,” NOT the victims of the deadly force.
"Hennepin County Prosecutor Mary Moriarty says the Trump administration’s interest in finding out more about Good and Pretti is “galling.” (Moriarty is such a left-wing lunatic that the other lunatics, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, had to take a murder case away from her, after she offered the perps a two-year sentence in a juvenile facility. This earned her a 6X daily spot on MS-NOW.)
"Obama administration veteran Juliette N. Kayyem claims that “Kill and Slander” is official government policy. “Kill and Slander,” she said, is the “terminology that is part of their M.O. right now.”
"What liberals mean by “slander” is “to reveal unflattering facts about a person.”
"Divulging anything vaguely negative about a victim whom liberals like is abhorrent, beyond the bounds of decency -- even if the information is true, relevant and important. On the other hand, if liberals don’t like you, the worst thing you ever did in your life will be front-page news the day after the government kills you. The nastier and more irrelevant, the better." . . .
. . . "Immediately after her death, the media were fairly bristling with Babbitt’s flaky beliefs, tweets, arrests (no convictions) -- even a confrontation with her husband’s ex-girlfriend, despite its sublime irrelevance to whether Byrd was justified in shooting her. The day after her death, The New York Times ran this headline: “Woman Killed in Capitol Embraced Trump and QAnon; After 14 years in the military, Ashli Babbitt bought a pool supply company and delved into far-right politics.' ” . . .
The Pretti Case Exposes a Dangerous Lie; Walter Hudson's 'Closing Argument' "Everyone keeps repeating the same two claims about the Pretti shooting:
“He had a right to carry.” “He had a right to film.” Both statements are true. And both are meaningless without context. In this episode, I explain why focusing on abstract rights while ignoring real-world behavior leads to bad conclusions — and dangerous lessons. Carrying a firearm doesn’t make you more entitled to confrontation. It makes you more responsible for avoiding it." . . .Peaceful ICE Arrest Of 650 Aliens In West Virginia Proves Dems Are Manufacturing Chaos In Minnesota
"Tim Walz and many other Democrats in Minnesota bear heavy responsibility for the deaths of two Minnesotans and for putting the lives of federal law enforcement at risk."
"Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just arrested nearly 700 illegal aliens in West Virginia with the help of local law enforcement, showing the stark contrast between state and local police supporting immigration enforcement and the Democrat-run catastrophe in Minnesota.
"ICE announced Friday that it arrested 650 illegals, including those who allegedly engaged in child sex abuse, drug possession, endangering the welfare of children, and other offenses.
"Teams from ICE Philadelphia performed the operation, deploying to six cities in West Virginia to arrest “hundreds of illegal aliens who present dangers to national security and risks to public safety, as well as those who entered the United States illegally or have otherwise undermined the integrity of U.S. immigration laws and border control efforts,” the press release states.
“ 'When state and local law enforcement work with ICE, immigration enforcement is seamless — it all takes place behind closed doors between law enforcement professionals, and that’s why the public never hears about it,” ICE Director Todd M. Lyons told The Federalist. “On the other hand, when law enforcement agencies refuse to turn over public safety threats, it forces ICE to arrest criminal illegal aliens in public. These arrests are going to happen regardless, so for state and local police, it makes more sense to keep the public safe and conserve resources by working with us instead of against us.”
"ICE utilized 287(g) partnerships, which allow the federal agency to delegate immigration enforcement to state and local authorities, under ICE supervision and training. That allows local police to identify and help remove illegals.
“ 'The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office has just completed a two-week operation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” Jefferson County Sheriff Tom Hansen said in the press release. “The Sheriff’s Office was impressed with the professionalism and work ethic of the agents and how well they interacted with the citizens and local law enforcement officers.” ...

What is the FACE Act?
All the Evidence Don Lemon Was a PARTICIPANT in the Church Disruption and Not a Journalist
"The FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 248, is a federal law enacted in 1994 that prohibits violence, threats, intimidation, and property damage targeting individuals seeking or providing reproductive health services, as well as individuals at places of religious worship—the law is enforced by the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation and carries criminal penalties including up to 11 years imprisonment for violent conduct and fines up to $250,000.
"The Department of Justice has filed more than 15 FACE actions in more than a dozen states since the law’s enactment, demonstrating federal commitment to protecting constitutional rights and public safety at covered facilities." . . .
Dershowitz: You can't disrupt a church service | The Record with Greta Van Susteren "On Friday's "The Record with Greta Van Susteren," Harvard Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz discussed whether or not Don Lemon or Minnesota church protestors are legally allowed to be indicted. "
Highlights from Don Lemon’s indictment
"So let’s be clear where is mind is at. He doesn’t say “they” are about to do this thing. He says “we.” Don Lemon in his own words:" . . ."
. . . "For openers, the indictment alleges that Lemon met the group of 30 or so co-conspirators for a “pre-op” planning session in which the leaders of the group “provided instruction on how the operation would be conducted once they arrived at the church.” Later that morning, Don Lemon “began live-streaming” and “explained to his audience” he was with a group about to perform a “resistance” operation, but he did not mention that it was in church. He kept that part secret. That decision on his part, the government alleges, was an “over act” in furtherance of the conspiracy. (Overt Act #5).
As someone on X observed, if it’s okay for Don Lemon to disrupt church services and physically block parishioners trying to exit while trying to “educate” them on immigration law, then it’s okay for a pro-lifer to enter the an abortion clinic and intimidate and harass the pregnant patients there waiting for their abortions while trying to “educate” them on the baby they’re carrying. Of course, we would never do that, but that’s the flip side of this coin.
So let’s be clear where is mind is at. He doesn’t say “they” are about to do this thing. He says “we.” Don Lemon in his own words:" . . . “after we do this operation” —Don Lemon
"Churchgoers told law enforcement that members of their parish attempted to retrieve their children from a childcare area located downstairs, but the agitators were blocking the stairs, and the parents were unable to get to their children. One churchgoer later expressed fear that the agitators may have guns underneath their jackets and noted that aisles were blocked, making it difficult to leave." . . .
. . . "Lemon, in his own words, knew what the protesters were going to do, and agreed that “traumatic and uncomfortable” was exactly what these white (as he observed later in an interview) parishioners, coming from an “entitled” place of “white supremacy,” needed to experience. I sincerely hope they add a hate crime to this thing. I’m not fond of “hate crime” laws as a general matter, but if we got ‘em, we should use ‘em." . . .
As MSNOW would have it: Elie Mystal Says Don Lemon Getting Arrested Is White Supremacy “It’s limited to speech, which means it does not protect the method of gathering the information or delivering the information as a journalist. What you say is not a problem. If you say something offensive, that is protected. It’s not the words, it’s the weapons.”
"The question at hand is what to do when journalists are no longer acting as journalists but have turned into activists, and, in some cases, have engaged in crimes.
" 'That is really what this discussion is about and what this decision is going to be,” Crowder added." . . .
Gavin Newsom is no Winston Churchill; sycophantic California is run by Hollywood bullies
"The reality of one armed agency approaching another armed agency to create conflict over something that would be a misdemeanor at best, or an infraction. It doesn't make any sense. It's not a good public policy decision, and it wasn't well thought out in my opinion." Let Jimmy Kimmel cry.

LAPD Chief Stiff-Arms Gavin Newsom, Won't Enforce Moronic Anti-ICE Law
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, like most other Democrat governors, has been doing all he can to impede U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement and prevent them from upholding immigration laws that were enacted by Congress. Although it was his predecessor, Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, who declared California a sanctuary state in 2017, Newsom has done nothing to overturn that and has, in fact, railed endlessly against President Donald Trump and ICE for daring to attempt to solve the illegal alien crisis.

LA-Area Fire Chief Mops the Floor With Mayor Karen Bass Over Disastrous Wildfire Response
Why a white liberal woman refused to report the men who gang raped her
Andrea Widburg - American Thinker
. . . "she explains that she couldn’t report the alleged attack because she opposes prisons, yearning for their “complete dismantling,” and refuses to participate in getting someone incarcerated:" . . ."Imagine that you are gang raped for hours in a Las Vegas hotel room, and that you don’t come from a culture that blames the victim, nor do you feel personal shame about the fact that you were so terribly victimized. If you’ve got that fixed in your mind, ask yourself this question: When the attack ends, do you (a) notify the police or (b) say nothing until four years later, when you write an almost incoherent screed explaining how your principles kept you from reporting the crime.
(3) The worst example of this is how those “widely discredited” stories of raped Israeli women were used to “manufacture...consent for the merciless slaughter of ‘savage’ Palestinians...” In other words, when Israel cried rape, it was a lie to dehumanize Palestinians and then kill them. I assume she would say that this video of a bloodied Naama Levy, clearly ripped by rape, was staged. Ironically, while Hamas proudly published its rapes, the Marxist West pretended it wasn’t so.

Mamdani’s bad moon rising
Silvio Canto, Jr. - American Thinker
"The money ain’t coming from Albany, because they don’t have any. It won’t come from the “rich,” because they are done playing the socialist’s game."
| AfterMath |
"We read in the news that Mayor Mamdani is warning of a fiscal crisis. This The Wall Street Journal story:
Mayor Zohran Mamdani says New York City is facing an unexpected $10 billion projected budget deficit in the coming year and plans to push state lawmakers to increase taxes on high-income New Yorkers and corporations to close the hole.
‘We must raise taxes on the wealthiest few in New York City so that we can invest in the many,’ the newly elected Democratic socialist mayor of the country’s largest city said in an interview Tuesday.
During the campaign, Mamdani pledged to raise taxes on millionaires and corporations to help fund his ambitious affordability agenda. But the plan drew swift rebuke from the city’s elite, who said a tax hike would drive the wealthiest out of New York. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who would have to sign off on the increases, has said she opposes income-tax hikes but has previously been more open to a potential corporate-tax increase. ‘I don’t believe in raising taxes for the sake of raising taxes,’ she said earlier this month.
Mamdani said in the interview the tax increases were now urgently needed to meet the moment. ‘New York City has not seen a gap of this scale since the Great Recession,’ he said, referring to the 2008-09 financial crisis. He added that his administration has already begun conversations with state officials.
Mamdani also wants Albany lawmakers to increase the amount of state funding the city receives. Hochul has boosted state funding to the city since she took office, according to a spokeswoman for the governor.
"The story gets very complicated for a couple of reasons." . . . More...

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon taken into custody after protest at Minnesota church service - CBS News
. . ."The Justice Department has been scrutinizing a video of a pre-meeting that Lemon filmed before the protest, the source said. That meeting was attended by a number of the defendants, including Allen, Armstrong and Jamael Lydell Lundy. The Justice Department has been focusing on the gathering as alleged evidence of a conspiracy to interfere with people's religious rights. Lemon was filming the meeting as part of his reporting, the source added. Lundy was among the four people arrested overnight." . . .
Ex-CNN host Don Lemon arrested for Minnesota church invasion "Disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles early Friday over the anti-ICE protest that stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday service, according to his attorney and US Attorney General Pamela Bondi.
" 'Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents … in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards,” Lemon’s attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement shared with multiple reporters.
"He was one of four people arrested by federal agents early Friday “in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota,” Bondi later confirmed in a statement." . . . Below: comment to this post:
"The same mouths that say Lemon is a jour[n]alist also claim Nick Shirley isn't one, even though Shirley has uncovered the scam of the century. Lemon? Not so much."

Soros-Funded Protest Groups Fan Flames of Anti-ICE Violence
National Legal And Policy Center
"Like today’s anti-ICE demonstrators, the instigators of the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots were funded by ultra-wealthy white people. George Soros and other billionaires who finance the mayhem have benefited the most from capitalism and the rule of law, yet they seek to tear it all down."
"In November, I wrote that the left is awaiting an event that will allow them to instigate widespread political violence. I theorized that because debt-laden Western economies hadn’t seen a downturn since 2008, the next economic crisis might provide the opportunity. But when billionaires like George Soros and Neville Singham provide you with a bottomless pit of money for organization and agitation, why wait for such an unpredictable event?
"Confronting ICE appears to be the ticket. It’s happening in all parts of the country, and not by accident. In Minneapolis, a woman named Renee Nicole Good, who was following around ICE agents in an SUV, was shot and killed by an ICE agent who had been previously injured in a car-ramming incident. The left responded with outrage (although no doubt privately celebrating; every movement needs a martyr) including by breaking the windows of the federal courthouse in Minneapolis.
"The protests spread across the country. MoveOn, which along with Indivisible is one of the two main Soros-funded groups organizing the nationwide “No Kings” protests, wasted no time in emailing its activists, charging that Good “was murdered point-blank…while peacefully observing an ICE operation out of concern for her neighbors,” in an “extrajudicial killing by ICE agents.” Recipients were urged to sign a petition to Congress to unmask ICE agents. Indivisible convened a “rapid response call” with the ACLU (also Soros-funded) and “local MN partners” to “learn more about how you can take action this weekend!”
"The legacy media noted the difference between Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s characterization of Good as a “domestic terrorist” and “local officials” who are condemning ICE.
"Governor Tim Walz, who routinely refers to ICE agents as the “Gestapo,” issued a warning that he would mobilize the Minnesota National Guard to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents.” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to “get the f*** out of Minneapolis,” and accused ICE of coming to the city to “literally kill people.” Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan urged activists to “put your body on the line” to stop ICE agents from “kidnapping” people.
"Of course, ICE is in Minneapolis because it is ground zero for the public benefits fraud scandal to which these very “local officials” are part and parcel. Somali immigrants ripped off taxpayers for billions, allowing for millions in campaign contributions to Democratic politicians. The crisis is deeper than illegal immigration." . . . More...
"Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has officially abandoned any pretense of upholding the rule of law.

"Rather than focusing on the violent crime wave paralyzing his own city, Krasner is shifting taxpayer resources to “hunt down” federal officers for the “crime” of enforcing our nation’s laws."
Brit who was left paralysed at 21 after breaking his neck on holiday reveals what it's like to have Elon Musk's brain chip
'" It's mindblowing - you can see the level of control that he has,' said Harith Akram, a neurosurgeon and lead of the UCLH trial."
"One of the first British patients to receive Elon Musk's controversial brain-computer implant has described what it is like to live with the futuristic chip.
"Sebastian Gomez-Pena is taking part in the first UK clinical trial of the Neuralink device, which allows users to control a computer using only their thoughts.
"The former medical student, who was left paralysed from the neck down after a devastating accident two years ago, told Sky News: 'It is a massive change in your life where you can suddenly no longer move any of your limbs.
"'This kind of technology kind of gives you a new piece of hope.'
"The billionaire tech tycoon has suggested the implant could one day be rolled out to the general public, saying his ultimate ambition is to create a mass-market brain-computer interface that would directly link human minds with powerful machines to achieve 'symbiosis with artificial intelligence'.
"Mr Gomez-Pena, a keen cellist and rugby player, was in his third year of medical school when, aged 21, he dived into shallow water on holiday and struck his head, causing permanent spinal cord damage.
"He is now one of seven participants in the UK trial assessing the safety and reliability of the device in severely paralysed patients.
"Neuralink has said its mission is to 'restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs and unlock new dimensions of human potential'." . . . More illustrations here.
