In the northeastern corner of North Carolina, a battle for a congressional seat is underscoring a quandary facing the Democratic Party: How far to the left should the party go in a district that has become more competitive?....

There are now 23 Democrats who won't seek reelection in the 2022 midterms as Representative Albio Sires from New Jersey plans to retire and party leadership desperately grips their slim majority in the House.... ...With a series of upcoming retirements, Democrats' majority in the House looks increasingly vulnerable, and Pelosi can only afford to lose three seats in order to keep her party in power....

BREAKING: I'm told by multiple NC/Capitol Hill sources that @GKButterfield will announce his retirement from Congress and he has informed @SpeakerPelosi. Butterfield's office won't confirm or deny but says "the official announcement will be made later today or tomorrow." #ncpol

A tweet posted by Donald Trump on Tuesday, in which the Republican presidential nominee said he had been removed from "shackles," was met with criticism by the head of the Congressional Black Caucus. "The moment an African-American hears the word 'shackles,' it's reminiscent of the era of slavery," Democratic Congressman G.K. Butterfield said in an interview with The Hill. "We're at a point now where Donald Trump is out of control. We don't know what's next."

Texas Governor Greg Abbott turned the Governor’s Mansion blue on Saturday night, but not the way Democrats had hoped in 2014. The Texas governor flooded his official residence with blue floodlights in support of law enforcement officers across the Lone Star State. This was about six months ago. Tonight, Governor Abbott turned the lights back on for five days in honor of the five murdered Dallas police officers.

What happened to the three people leaving the scene of the shootout last night in the black Mercedes that were taken into cutostody on I35? I watched video reports on BBC of these people being arrested in the middle of the freeway with about 50 cruisers surrounding them and the reporters said the suspects were not cooperative in the insueing interviews. The narrative has now switched to a "lone gunman", how is this possible and what happened to these three people who were witnessed putting a "camo" bag in the car and leaving the scene?Also, how can one shooter triangulate...

The organizer of the Dallas Black Lives Matter rally, in which four cops were murdered and numerous others injured by trained snipers, is a sodomite pro-Muslim agent. His name is Jeff Hood. In 2015, after American Christians protested an Islamic event in Dallas, this reprobate, Jeff Hood, said:  “I think that Texas Muslims are the real Christians.” Jeff Hood says that he is a Baptist minister, but I believe that this is a disguise that he is using to cover his Islamic sentiments. In one statement Hood described a conversation with a Muslim “about Islam”, and of how “The...

This book deconstructs the central narrative of the Black Lives Matter movement: that racist cops are the greatest threat to young black males. On the contrary, it is criminals and gangbangers who are responsible for the high black homicide death rate. This book gives you the actual statistics to share with your liberal friends about the realities of black-on-black crimes. When your liberal friend starts to lie, show them the numbers that don't! This is not a politically correct book - it's a book of facts.

"More Will Be Assassinated In The Coming Days! Do You Like The Work Of Our Assassins? Get Your Own Sniper" read a post on the Black Power Political Organisation Facebook account A self-proclaimed black power group appears to have claimed responsibility for the assassinations of five police officers at a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas. Five officers were gunned down by at least two shooters who picked out officers from an 'elevated position' - believed to be a multi-storey car park. It came in the week of public outrage over the deaths of two black men shot by police....

The US Army veteran who was killed by a bomb-laden robot in Dallas appears to have been the lone gunman whose sniper attack left five cops dead and seven others wounded, according to a report. Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, of Mesquite, who served a tour of duty in Afghanistan, was killed Friday morning when police detonated a bomb after negotiations broke down with him. “He was upset about Black Lives Matter, the recent police shootings, he was upset at white people. He wanted to kill white people, especially police officers,” Dallas Police Chief David Brown said...

The so-called Black Power Political Organization claimed on its Facebook account that it was behind the attack in which cops were picked out from an 'elevated position' - believed to be a multi-storey car park.

NEW YORK/MESQUITE, Texas, July 8 (Reuters) - Military veteran Micah Xavier Johnson posted an angry rant against white people on a black nationalist Facebook group called Black Panther Party Mississippi on Saturday, denouncing the lynching and brutalizing of black people. Five days later, U.S. authorities say, he took part in the sniper-style killing of five Dallas police officers. "Why do so many whites (not all) enjoy killing and participating in the death of innocent beings," Johnson, 25, wrote in his Facebook post above a graphic video of people participating in a whale-killing, comparing it to the treatment of black people...

There he is, in all his racist Black Panther glory. Watch the video here If that isn't a terrorist organization, there is no such thing.

The black Army veteran who killed five Dallas police officers donned a protective vest and used a military-style semi-automatic rifle in the sniper slayings, officials said, an attack that layered new anxiety onto a nation already divided about guns and how police treat African-Americans. Micah Johnson was killed by a robot-delivered bomb Thursday after the shootings, which marked the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In all, 12 officers were shot just a few blocks from where President John F. Kennedy was slain in 1963. …

Initial reports from Dallas described multiple snipers with AR-15s #weaponsofwar. The ongoing propaganda theme among the tabloids is that the AR-15 has become the weapon of choice for terrorists and mass shooters. It turns out that the terrorist in Dallas question used an antique, the SKS, (according to CBS News) but the facts never keep the press from a good propaganda theme. The SKS was designed in the 40’s in Russia. It is such a basic rifle that it is legal in California with no modification. With its fixed ten round magazine, the SKS is everything that the gun haters...

Independent Journal Review published an article today about some of the groups the Dallas Police shooter was involved with on Facebook. One of those groups, the African-American Defense League, is going to be paying Baton Rouge a visit on Monday. Yeah, these people are not coming to calm things down. They’re coming to Baton Rouge to try and stir up a riot. They want to lynch the two police officers who shot Alton Sterling. That’s not justice. “Dr.” MauriceIm-Lei Millere likes to call for killing white people. Mauricelm-Lei Millere, an advi­sor to the New Black Pan­ther Party(NBPP), is using social...

Our prayers are with the fallen on that Thin Blue Line in Dallas. America lost heroes last night as men in uniform did their unfathomably courageous job running into danger to protect others from it. Honorable first responders deserve our outmost respect and support. Shame on our culture’s influencers who would stir contention and division that could lead to evil such as that in Dallas. Shame on politicians and pundits giving credence to thugs rioting against police officers and the rule of law in the name of "peaceful protests." It is a farce. #BlackLivesMatter is a farce. Media: quit claiming...

Understandably buried in the avalanche of news coming out of Dallas is the story of Mark Hughes, an attendee at the rally, who was falsely singled out as the original suspect in the sniper killings because he was seen at the rally openly carrying a weapon. Original Dallas PD Tweet: https://www.google.com/search?q=mark+hughes+dallas+pd+tweet&espv=2&biw=1600&bih=775&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjbuLLM-eTNAhXMo5QKHVPhAnQQ_AUIBygC#imgrc=5pfDkS9uXyFUSM%3A One can only imagine the degree of danger that this tweet put Mr. Hughes in, and luckily for him, he was both smart enough to think to immediately turn over his gun and then himself to the authorities and he was lucky enough to encounter police officers who managed...
