Hillary Isn’t Sure 2d Amendment Is Constitutional Right, But Is Sure Abortion Is…

UPDATE: Orlando’s ‘Pulse’ Gay Bar Was a ‘Gun-Free Zone’ by State Law  . . . "The establishment was touted as “Orlando’s hottest gay bay” on its website, providing patrons with an “unforgettable night of fun and fantasy.” Domestic terrorist Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, a registered Democrat and Muslim from Port St. Lucie, killed 50 victims and wounded 53 more — all of whom were prohibited from carrying weapons to defend themselves." . . .

"Via TWS:

Hillary Clinton isn’t sure the Second Amendment is a constitutional right. But she’s sure the right to abortion is.

Speaking at a Planned Parenthood event in Washington Friday, the likely Democratic nominee called “safe and legal abortion” a “constitutional right.”

Recently, the former secretary of state was asked “if and individual’s right to bear arms is a constitutional right—that it’s not linked to service in a militia.” Clinton replied that, “if it is a constitutional right, then it like every other constitutional right is subject to reasonable regulations.”

Mass shooting and hostage taking at Orlando gay nightclub appears to be Islamic terrorism (UPDATED)

Say the words, Mr. Obama: is-lam-ic ter-ror-ism.

"This appears to be pic of the shooter, and he still has pics up on a myspace. 

Troubling, wearing NYPD clothing, we do note that such clothing can be 

bought easily." Weasel Zippers

Thomas Lifson  "If the early indications of Islamic terror being the motivation for a mass slaughter of homosexuals prove to be true, jihad should become a top concern of the LGBT political movement.  The evidence is quickly mounting that Islamic terror was at the root of shooting 20 dead (as far as is currently known) and wounding 42 others, as well as taking hostages. The UK Daily Mail reports:

A suspected Islamic extremist wielding an assault rifle and a handgun has killed about 20 people after taking party-goers hostage inside a gay nightclub in Orlando.

The gunman was carrying a suspicious device, possibly a suicide vest, when he opened fire inside Pulse in the early hours of this morning.

Orlando Police Chief John Mina said authorities have not determined the exact number of people killed, but that 'approximately 20' have died. Another 42 people were taken to hospital.

An FBI spokesman said the mass shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism. He explained authorities are looking into whether this was an act of domestic or international terror, and if the shooter was a lone wolf.

UPDATE:  Video: In Orlando Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar Calls For The Death Of All Homosexuals
. . . "So that said is there a plausible reason for why it is that Omar Mateen targeted a gay night club for his act of religiously motivated killing?

"Yes there is! How about a religious leader, Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar, calling for that to happen as the video below filmed in 2013 at the Husseini Islamic Center in Sanford, Florida shows?

"And yet Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton along with the rest of the feckless Democrats continue to refuse to utter the phrase, Islamic extremism."

Hillary faces voters' wrath for alleged ethnic slur

The UK Guardian  "Hillary Clinton is fighting a rearguard action to avoid further damage to her standing with the crucial Jewish vote in her campaign for a Senate seat after a claim that she once used an ethnic insult against one of Bill Clinton's aides.

"A book out today claims that 26 years ago she called Paul Fray, her husband's campaign manager at the time, a "fucking Jew bastard".

"Mrs Clinton denied the allegation and pressed the president into supporting her, but the author, Jerry Oppenheimer, said: "Three witnesses have now publicly acknowledged that she said it." . . .

. . . "I have never said anything like that, ever," Mrs Clinton said. "I have in the past certainly, you know maybe, called somebody a name. But I have never used an ethnic, racial, anti-Semitic, bigoted, discriminatory, prejudiced, accusation against anybody. I've never done it. I've never thought it."

Welllll...If Hillary denies it, she must be telling the truth. Now if Donald Trump can only keep from rescuing her by saying something stupid himself.

Obama plans to make his 'fundamental transformation' irreversible – no matter who succeeds him

WND   "If you were Barack Obama – a Marxist revolutionary disguised as a Democrat, who after promising “fundamental transformation” delivered it nonstop during his presidency, but was in grave danger of seeing his beloved radical changes eviscerated once he leaves office – what would you be doing right now?

"No need to guess. Obama adviser Cecilia Muñoz, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council (and formerly an executive at the radical pro-amnesty group, the National Council of La Raza) clearly sums up the mission of Team Obama in the home stretch of his transformative presidency.

"The administration’s entire focus, Muñoz’ boasts, is on making sure Obama’s controversial policies are permanently “institutionalized.” That is, they must live on long after she and her boss are gone from the White House – no matter who succeeds him as president. Job one, she insists, is “to make sure we build [Obama’s policies] really into the DNA across the federal bureaucracy, at a leadership level, but much more importantly to make sure that when political appointees like me are no longer here, this is built into what those agencies do and think about every day.”

"In other words, the disastrous policies of the most subversive and anti-American president in U.S. history are to be permanently baked into the nation’s government, bureaucracy, law and culture – unless, of course, the next administration is bold, smart and audacious enough to turn them around." . . .

Cooper’s Crusade Against Christ

Prof. Mike Adams

"The people of North Carolina and the alumni of N.C. State University deserve an apology. Administrators at the school have implemented a patently unconstitutional policy, which forces students to apply for a permit in order to share the gospel on a public university campus they fund with their hard earned tax dollars. To make matters worse, the permit policy is being used to target Christians specifically while others are being allowed to exercise their rights unfettered. Now that a federal judge has called their bluff, the lawless North Carolina attorney general continues to defend the indefensible. 

"Roy Cooper had the unmitigated gall to recently send two feminist lawyers – Kimberly Potter and Stephanie Brennan – into federal court to defend a policy that cannot possibly survive constitutional muster. On its face, the policy cannot be defended because even public high school students who have taken ninth grade civics know that the Constitution is the only speech permit you need to share the gospel on a university campus." . . .

Kyle: Bill Clinton Would Use G-D-N When He Wasn’t Happy With Black Legislators [AUDIO]

Yet you on the left love the Clintons no matter what.

Wayne Dupree

"Dolly Kyle, long time friend of Bill Clinton and even former lover before and after his marriage, joined The Wayne Dupree Show on Friday night to discuss her book and her relationships with the Clintons that has lasted over the years. She’s known Bill since the age of 13 and while she opened up a lot of secrets, one of them I was taken aback.

"The Clintons pass themselves off as the saviors of the black community, but this facade is over, now! Today, Clinton even eulogized Muhammad Ali but if the black attendees knew he went around calling black lawmakers he didn’t agree with “G-D Damn Ni**ers” then it would be a lot more questioning of his motives. Check out this audio clip from the show." . . .

Bones of War: Haunting Skeleton Weapon Photography

Web Urbanist

"When Francois Robert unexpectedly acquired a human skeleton in the 1990s, he knew he had to do something wonderful with it. Several years later when the economy collapsed and he found himself with time on his hands, Robert finally settled on a project: powerful anti-war images spelled out in human bones."

. . . "The project started when the photographer found an old educational skeleton in a locker purchased at a school auction. He displayed it in his studio for years but always wondered what else he could do with it. He eventually came up with the idea to take the skeleton apart and use the bones to create these unique and hauntingly beautiful works of art." . . .
