DeRay Mckesson: Fall 2016 fellow at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics A George Soros-backed Black Lives Matter leader with delusions of eloquence has been given his second prestigious academic posting in two years because he’s good at starting race riots. It’s proof that crime pays. Embrace the pathologies of the Left and you will be showered with high praise and honors. The agitator at hand is DeRay Mckesson, who should be in prison along with his fellow BLM terrorists. He will be a Fall 2016 fellow at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics.

Even known criminals... I guess it’s a good news/bad news story. Despite the determination of the president to never deport an illegal alien, since they’re all prospective Democrat voters, there are still some people in the Department of Homeland Security who take their jobs seriously and issue hundreds of thousands of deportation orders each year. That’s the good news. The bad news? Even if Obama doesn’t stop them from doing their jobs, apparently there are plenty of federal judges who will. Some excellent reporting from FoxNews.com shows that over the past who years, more than 200,000 would-be deportations were halted...

The editorial board of the Boston Globe loves Hillary Clinton and would never do anything to harm her. Nevertheless, it is having a tough time making believe it swallows her lies or the lies the paper itself tells in defending the Clinton Foundation. In fact, they are so concerned about the problem the Clinton Foundation is causing Hillary Clinton’s campaign to be our next president that they have warned her to mend her ways. This, of course, is like telling a lion to stop eating everything in sight. The Clintons are criminals who see only dollar signs in the world...

Also vows that after four years in office, he'll get 95 percent of the black vote One of the most common knocks against Donald Trump is actually one of the things I like most about him. Whereas some find fault in Trump for not being sufficiently indoctrinated to the conventional wisdom of politics, I see a refreshing refusal to be a slave to it. A few things are more established as conventional wisdom than the idea that the black vote will always go overwhelmingly Democratic, because . . . well, because it does! In an appearance on Friday in Dimondale,...

Mary Landrieu too... Last week, prior to Donald Trump’s Louisiana visit, the anti-Trump media had fun mischaracterizing remarks made by LA. Governor John Bel Edwards. If you watched any of the mainstreamers, you were under the impression that the Governor told Trump not to come. Like so much of what those outlets report, that wasn’t exactly true.

Waller County DA Elton Mathis Image from s-nbcnews.com   A month ago, on 6 July, 2016, Waller County Texas officials raised many eyebrows by using the power of the County to sue an individual citizen. The citizen, Terry Holcomb Sr., threatened to report  Waller County to the Texas Attorney General, as is required by the procedure set up by the Texas Legislature last session.   It is easy to see why the Waller County DA went after the individual citizen.  He does not have deep pockets to defend with, and he does not have the institutional defenses of the Texas...

Just got a call from a poll taker who after 90 seconds and me answering their question of race (white) decided they have their quota of male answers. Total fraud. The poll taker knew I was male right from the beginning but it was only after I said I was white that she used the pretext of me being male to end the survey.

Stoyan Zaimov writes at Christian Post of a Muslim man, the 16-year-old son of Imam Sheikh Alami, a local radical cleric with Dutch and Moroccan citizenship, who had voiced some nice gentle thoughts while he marched around Verviers, Belgium:

Anthony J. Ciani’s article “Why Would Russians Hack Democrats” reveals the reason hackers have concentrated their efforts on exposing the corruption of the Democrat Party. The last two paragraphs of Ciani’s piece provide everything the American voting public needs to understand why the administration of a President Donald Trump would prove so deadly to those who prostitute the nation for their own gain. “Why Would Russians Hack Democrats” By Anthony J. Ciani Final paragraphs "What hackers have revealed, and will continue to reveal, is a conglomeration of big banks, big businesses, big media and big government, all owned and controlled...

There is fear and then there is the type of fear that makes a person psychotic. The footsteps the Left hears coming for them, the ones they know belong to Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump, have now frightened them into a panic that is not likely to subside anytime soon - if ever. A Wednesday night, New York Times op-ed written by a man with the extremely Runyonesque name of Charles Blow shows he has had such an extreme panic attack that it has caused him to fall into the gutter in front of the paper’s main office and start...

Heritage maintains a database of election fraud convictions. It stands at more than 400 and growing The Heritage Foundation provides a helpful pre-election reminder that voter fraud remains a problem in the United States. “Progressives insist that voter fraud is a myth, a charade meant to justify repressive voting laws,” write Peter Tapsak and Jason Snead. “The facts, however, tell a different story: Voter fraud is real, and if we ignore it, we leave our ballot boxes open to fraudsters who would rather steal elections than risk losing in a fair and open contest.”

In the crash of 2008 governments "bailed out" banks with billions of dollars. The next time around banks will be permitted to seize your deposits and exchange them for shares, shares in a failed bank. On June 22, 2016 Bill C15 became law along with its controversial “Bail-In Regime”. In the crash of 2008 governments “bailed out” banks with billions of dollars. The next time around banks will be permitted to seize your deposits and exchange them for shares, shares in a failed bank. Some say that Canadian banks are so strong Canadians don’t have to worry. But the experts...

Or anybody One of the favorite tactics of Democrats is to demand to be allowed to do something, and then, once they’ve done it and it didn’t work, pretend they never got to do it and insist the solution is to do the dumb thing they already did. Remember the conversation in 2008 between then-Sen. Barack Obama and Joe the Plumber? Joe tried to explain to Obama how his tax increases would negative affect a small business like his. Obama’s response was, “When you spread the wealth around, that’s good for everybody.”

For all of the smears and insults now being hurled his way daily, Donald J. Trump answered the cries of the downtrodden in Louisiana Canada Free Press cannot be the only one making the connection between the need for the kind of leadership Donald J. Trump would provide for America and the Great Flood of 2016 that tragically took away 13 lives and still counting, devastating 40,000 homes with an historic 31 inches of rain in some areas over the course of four straight days. With absolutely no help from their president, the people of America, once again became their...

Hot night in my real world in Wasilla – yard work complete, baked loaves of late-summer garden’s zucchini bread, & now get to sit down to catch pay-per-view’s big UFC fight. As we’ve seen throughout Rio Olympics, like I’ve always said: sports are an analogy of life, thus analogous to the Presidential election. Like this McGregor vs Diaz fight tonight, it always comes down to "who wants it more?" So, supporters of America-First Nationalism (represented by the Trump movement) must understand the UniParty’s Globalism (that’d be Hillary), and how the Left fights to win. They fight dirty, but they...

 Image from sgvtribune.com When Olympic athletes speak out in favor of "progressive" causes, they make front page news in the United States.  But when a multiple gold medal winner at multiple Olympics speaks in favor of the Second Amendment and self defense, it was the foreign press that covered the issue. Multiple gold medal winner Kim Rhodes spoke out on 5 August in Rio de Janeiro.  From the independent.co.uk: Ms Rhode said she was “becoming more vocal” about her opposition to what she sees as restrictive new gun control measures, including in the context of recent terror attacks. “When...

(SAN DIEGO, CA, 8/18/16) – The San Diego chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-San Diego) is calling on the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) and other law enforcement agencies in California to investigate whether any officers will attend a training conference later this month featuring notorious anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist Ryan Mauro, who promotes the debunked “Muslim no-go-zones” myth. In letters sent to local and state agencies, CAIR questioned Mauro’s scheduled appearance at the California Association of Tactical Officers’ “Symposium on Islamic Terrorism” to be held August 24-25 in San Diego. The Southern Poverty Law Center says Mauro “has...

The western United States is chronically short of water and the situation can only get worse, barring some sort of major reversal of climate. I don't believe this is caused by climate change, but rather is an inevitable function of increasing population demands on a limited resource. With few exceptions, Lake Mead, designed to be a major supplier of water for southern California and Las Vegas, has been steadily dropping to the point where it may fail to produce any water in dry times of the cycle. Other reservoirs have been observed to dry up or lose over three quarters...

Leftist agitators employed fascist tactics at a Donald Trump fundraiser in Minneapolis on Friday night Leftist agitators employed fascist tactics at a Donald Trump fundraiser in Minneapolis on Friday night—Kyle Olson “Agitators bang on doors at Trump fundraiser, punch attendees in ‘gauntlet’” As the above quote implies, left-wing agent provocateurs accompanied by their “useful idiot” groupies used Fascist methods to intimidate, frighten, and physically attack people attempting to exercise their right to free speech in Minneapolis yesterday. Nazi Brownshirt bully-boy tactics all the way.

The UN's protection of the alleged perpetrator Machar, added to the UN peacekeepers' failure to adequately protect civilians when they had the chance, adds up to a botched UN mission in South Sudan South Sudan, the youngest member state of the United Nations, began its life as an independent country with expressions of hope for a bright future. At the independence ceremony of South Sudan, held in its capital Juba on July 9, 2011, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon proclaimed that, after years of violence, “we open a new chapter: a day when the people of South Sudan claim the...
