  • Salon's Amanda Marcotte already blames the shooting on conservatives (vanity)

    6/14/17
    I decided to see what Salon might have say about today's shooting, and sure enough, they were quickly out with outrageous lies in order to create an alternative narrative. By 2:55 p.m. Amanda Marcotte had posted the Democratic attack points which wholly blamed the right. In my opinion, it's well worth the time reading. I just would have posted excerpts, but apparently Salon is now banned here. I'll mention a few of the things she says, but there's even more in the article. It sounds like she got this straight from DNC headquarters. The apparent main point of writing the...
  • Anti-American Express Helped Inspire Today's Shooting

    American Express | 6/14/2017 | Member Since 1987
    American Express today again refused to withdraw its sponsorship of The Public Theater's adaptation of Julius Caesar, which is now playing in New York's Central Park. The play depicts the brutal assassination of President Donald Trump as he is stabbed to death by multiple assassins. Other theater sponsors, including Delta Air Lines and Bank of America, withdrew their sponsorship from the theater earlier this week. Despite today's attempted massacre of two dozen Republican lawmakers by a leftist gunman provoked by violent anti-Trump rhetoric, American Express stands firm in its corporate support of The Public Theater. In a phone conversation with...
  • Shooter of Congressional Republicans rifle already being called "high-powered."

    Fox News | 14 June 2017 | Ralph W. Davis
    Listening to Fox News, the gun the shooter used has been identified as an SKS with 7.62 X 39 ammo, with a scope, and called a "high powered rifle." Of course an SKS is not high powered, or particularly accurate....but the ignorance, fear, and bias of the Media--even on Fox--is already coming out--to pound the drum against the 2nd Amendment.
  • If the ball field shooter had been a Trump supporter shooting at Democrats?

    06/14/2017 10:53:42 AM PDT · by dragnet2 · 47 replies
    The media would have exploded, immediately declaring it was Trump's rhetoric, his talk of violence and division that was the driving force behind the shooter and others like him. The big media attacks on Trump would go on for weeks if not the duration of Trump's presidency.

    1. Who knew he was going to do this? Is the guy married? If so, where did his wife think he was today? Friends? 2. Did anyone help him? 3. How did he get here? Did he check his rifle on a plane? Did he drive here with the rifle in a car? Did he buy a rifle when he got here? A long car trip would have given him plenty of time to think about his plans. When did he arrive in DC/VA? Has he been here a long time planning this? Did he step off the plane or...
  • Ryan said, "An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us."

    Ryan said, "An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us." The shooter asked if the softball players were Republican or Democrat. The shooter than fired multiple shots. People there said that the shooter was shooting at multiple people, not "one" person. Ryan could have said that "An assassination attempt on multiple Republicans is an attack on all of us". But he didn't.

  • The left has used Trumps election as excuse to act like some of the vilest people imaginable

    Vanity-freeper editorial
    This shooting and many more are likely to happen. The left has decided for some time now to use Trump as an excuse to behave like the vilest people imaginable. A new rhetorical low has been achieved by the left-- With f words at all the democrats rallies, incest jokes by comediens, talks of impeachment before Trump even got into office. Threatening electors, and celebrities calling for coups against the president. And with the rhetoric comes the violence-- Rioting in the streets over the election. Riots at Berkeley along with republican speeches and marches cancelled for fear of left wing...

    SINCE 1996 Good Morning and Blessed Lord's Day Deplorable-FReeper-Patriot-FRiends! Today, June 11, is day 72 of our Quarter 2's FReepathon! Unreal, but that is the sad, shameful truth. Our Quarter 3's FReepathon commences in a mere 20 days! Talk about never ending FReepathons ... we're about to enter that territory. We're at 89%, not even 90% which brings on the much heralded YELLOW! Is this what you want? I don't and I don't think y'all do either! These multi-month FReepathons are not fair to Jim, not fair to Jim's dedicated FReepathon Team and certainly not fair to all of...

    I'm sorry this is a long post, but I tried to tie many things together related to the Trump/Russia investigations, the WikiLeaks, the Seth Rich murder, and the apparent corruption that ties all of it into one bundle. Anyway, please correct me where I'm wrong. Suppose you were driving down the street. Your car was in perfect working order and you did not break any traffic laws, but a policeman still pulls you over. You ask why he pulled you over. He doesn't answer. Instead he asks you to get out of the car and to open your trunk. After...

  • Man Identifying As 6-Year-Old Crushes Game-Winning Homer In Tee-Ball Championship (Satire)

    06/07/2017 7:57:28 AM PDT · by TigerClaws · 31 replies
    AUBURN, CA—Local 36-year-old man Nate Ripley, who identifies as a six-year-old, “absolutely crushed” a game-winning homer at a local tee-ball game and won the championship for his team Monday evening, reports confirmed. Ripley reportedly walked up to the plate in the bottom of the 6th, pointed his bat toward the left-field wall looming 130 feet in the distance, and let her rip, sending the ball rocketing over the fence and into a parking lot as the fans cheered and his coach yelled out, “Attaboy, Nate! Good job, bud!” His team, the Lil’ Padres, attempted to hoist him up on their...
  • FLASHBACK: 2/3rds Of British Muslims Wouldn’t Tell Government About A Terror Plot

    06/03/2017 10:25:44 PM PDT · by TigerClaws · 24 replies
    A new ICM poll has discovered two out of three Muslims in Britain would not give the government any information if they knew details about a terror plot. These disturbing poll results seem to indicate the government’s counter-terrorism program, named Prevent, is unlikely to provide much usable information on active threats, if it passes along any information at all, The Express reports. The results also suggest the existence of a society deep inside Britain that is fundamentally opposed to its values and will actively subvert the government to protect its own members. Further questions in the survey revealed, even more,...
