Who’s the Real Anti-Gun Radical Running for President?

/0 Comments/in , /by

When Trump says “The Second Amendment is on the ballot in November,” he is right.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is not a fan of the Bill of Rights provision that protects Americans’ natural right of self-defense.

She has campaigned to the left of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and hammered him for protecting the rights of gun owners in his home state of Vermont. If elected, it is clear that she will claim to support the Second Amendment while will taking actions to roll back those rights as far as a president can.

Donald Trump hammered Hillary for her stance on gun control when he argued over the weekend that “Crooked Hillary Clinton is the most anti-gun anti-Second Amendment ever to run for office.” He is spot on.

Hillary gave a gun control speech last week in which she rolled out her anti-gun agenda. In the past, she has called for Supreme Court justices to overturn two Supreme Court cases that protect the right to keep and bear arms. She merely pretends to support the Second Amendment while her campaign promises betray an intent to make that provision of the Constitution a dead letter of law.

Here are the facts:

According to Politifacts.com, Hillary has argued for the overturning one of the most important Second Amendment protection cases in our history:

Clinton said she disagrees with the the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller. In a 5-4 decision, the Court struck down Washington’s handgun ban and recognized that the Second Amendment applies to the individual’s right to bear arms.

‘The Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment,’ she said in a leaked recording of a private fundraiser.

That case stands for the simple proposition that the Second Amendment is an individual right rather than a collective one. Although Politifacts.com ruled Donald Trump’s statement that “Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment” false, her position regarding Heller shows that she would effectively ignore the core meaning of the natural right of self-defense.

Hillary also endorsed a compulsory buyback program implemented in Australia. She said, “Australia is a good example.” That program would not pass constitutional scrutiny in the United States.

It is ironic that the fact checkers fall all over themselves to defend Hillary because she pays lip service to protecting the Second Amendment, yet she has never mapped out a plan to protect it. Hillary will follow President Obama’s lead in trying to pack the Supreme Court with nominees overtly hostile to gun rights while claiming that she supports the Second Amendment — don’t believe it.

According to her own website, Hillary has rolled out a number of proposals that will chip away at gun rights:

A proposal to shut down gun shows by forcing background checks to accompany sales between private citizens;

A proposal to allow trial lawyers to sue the gun industry into submission;

A reinstatement of the so called “assault weapons ban”;

Use of the error-filled terrorist watch list to disenfranchise law-abiding citizens who were put on the list by mistake and cannot get their names removed.

None of these proposals have a chance of passing if Congress stays in Republican hands. Democrats would be reluctant to go down the road of gun control if they take over for fear of being booted out of office in 2018. The Left rolls out polls that indicate support for some of these measures, yet voters have a say and they tend to vote against candidates who support gun control.

If Hillary is so supportive of the Second Amendment, where are her proposals to protect gun rights? She has none. In stark contrast, Donald Trump has a number of ideas to expand gun rights. Now some on the Right will look skeptically at Trump’s proposals, because he was a one-time supporter of some gun control ideas. Yet he is clearly superior on the issue to the overtly-hostile Hillary Clinton.

According to NBC News, Trump has proposed ideas to expand gun rights:

Throughout his campaign, Trump has called gun bans ‘a total failure,’ opposed an expansion of background checks and called for concealed carry permits to be valid across all 50 states.

Trump has voiced opposition to any weapons bans and has rolled out a list of Supreme Court nominees who are not hostile to the Second Amendment. Merrick Garland, President Obama’s pick, has a history of support for gun control. In 2000, Judge Garland supported the Clinton administration’s proposal to store gun-buyers’ records and tried to get the D.C. Circuit to reconsider the Heller case as it wound through the federal courts.

For those who treasure Second Amendment rights and don’t want to be playing defense for the next four years on Supreme Court nominees and gun control legislation, this fall’s election will have a significant impact on the government’s respect for the Bill of Rights.

Sheriff: ‘Picking Apart Constitution to Fit’ Leftist Agenda Leads to Tyranny [+video]

/0 Comments/in , /by

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke told an audience at the National Rifle Association-Institute for Legislative Action’s (NRA-ILA) Leadership Forum in Louisville, Ky., on Friday that when the Constitution is picked apart to fit a “leftist political agenda,” we are headed toward “government tyranny.”

“The Constitution does not come a la carte. It is all inclusive. When we start down that road of picking apart the Constitution to fit a certain leftist political agenda, we are headed toward a very dark place called government tyranny,” Clarke said.

“Why is the second amendment treated like the bastard of the Bill of Rights by academia, the liberal mainstream media, and liberals in the political establishment? It’s not about reducing mass murders, suicides, or street-level violence. Heck, it isn’t really even about gun control. Folks, it’s about power, political power. It’s all about government control over our lives,” Clarke said.

“These anti-gun bigots on the left realize that in order to grow a more centralized government, they have to defeat several powerful citizen-based organizations. These anti-gun zealots realize that to win a political argument, you need two things: You need a common enemy and a common language,” he added.

“To the anti-gun left, the common enemy is the National Rifle Association and you, its freedom loving members,” he said. ““Well the common language of the AGI – you know who the AGI is, right? The anti-gun idiots. (Read more from “Sheriff: ‘Picking Apart Constitution to Fit’ Leftist Agenda Leads to Tyranny” HERE)

Iran Threatens to Destroy Israel in ‘Less Than Eight Minutes’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A top Iranian commander has claimed that the Islamic Republic had the ability to destroy Israel “in less than eight minutes,” according to comments offered on the same day that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei declared that Iran would continue to build its ballistic missile arsenal in defiance of U.S. demands.

“If the Supreme Leader’s orders [are] to be executed, with the abilities and the equipment at our disposal, we will raze the Zionist regime in less than eight minutes,” Ahmad Karimpour, a senior adviser to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp’s al-Quds Force, was quoted as stating, according to regional reports.

The threat comes as Khamenei declared in a speech Monday that U.S. “cries” over Iran’s ballistic missile program will not alter the regime’s behavior.

“They [the U.S.] have engaged in a lot of hue and cry over Iran’s missile capabilities, but they should know that this ballyhoo does not have any influence and they cannot do a damn thing,” Khamenei was quoted as saying during a speech Monday in Tehran, according to Iran’s state-controlled media.

“Jihad still exists,” Khamenei added “Great Jihad means not abiding by the enemy whom we are fighting; not abiding by enemy in economy, politics, culture and art is the great Jihad.” (Read more from “Iran Threatens to Destroy Israel in ‘Less Than Eight Minutes'” HERE)

Trump Slams Hillary Clinton for Not ‘Protecting Women’ in Video Featuring Voices of Bill’s Sex-Assault and Rape Accusers

/0 Comments/in , /by

By David Martosko. Donald Trump’s latest effort to saddle Hillary Clinton with her husband’s sexual indiscretions hit Instagram like a bomb on Monday.

‘Is Hillary really protecting women?’ Trump tweeted, along with a link to a short video featuring the voices of two of Bill’s sexual-assault accusers, Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey.

The 15-second video also includes a reference to Clinton’s former White House intern paramour Monica Lewinsky, in the form of a stogie clenched between the former president’s teeth.

Independent Counsel Ken Star wrote in his bombshell report on the Clinton impeachment saga that the then-president sexually pleasured Lewinsky, then in her early twenties, with a cigar.

Broaddrick accused Clinton of raping her in a hotel room when he was the attorney general of Arkansas. Willey has charged that he groped and fondled her against her will in the Oval Office.

Leftist Salon: Donald Trump Is Going to Win; This Is Why Hillary Clinton Can’t Defeat What Trump Represents

By Anis Shivani. The neofascist reaction, the force behind Trump, has come about because of the extreme disembeddedness of the economy from social relations. The neoliberal economy has become pure abstraction; as has the market, as has the state, there is no reality to any of these things the way we have classically understood them. Americans, like people everywhere rising up against neoliberal globalization (in Britain, for example, this takes the form of Brexit, or exit from the European Union), want a return of social relations, or embeddedness, to the economy.

The Trump alliance desires to remake the world in their own image, just as the class representing neoliberal globalization has insisted on doing so. The difference couldn’t be starker. Capitalism today is placeless, locationless, nameless, faceless, while Trump is talking about hauling corporations back to where they belong, in their home countries, fix them in place by means of rewards and retribution, like one handles a recalcitrant child.

Trump is a businessman, while Mitt Romney was a businessman too, yet I predict victory for the former while the latter obviously lost miserably. What is the difference? While Trump “builds” things (literal buildings), in places like Manhattan and Atlantic City, places one can recognize and identify with, and while Trump’s entire life has been orchestrated around building luxury and ostentatiousness, again things one can tangibly grasp and hold on to (the Trump steaks!), Romney is the personification of a placeless corporation, making his quarter billion dollars from consulting, i.e., representing economic abstraction at its purest, serving as a high priest of the transnational capitalist class.(Read more from “Donald Trump Is Going to Win: This Is Why Hillary Clinton Can’t Defeat What Trump Represents” HERE)

Killing of Taliban Leader in Pakistan Demonstrates Shift in US Strategy

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. officials say they are confident that a drone strike carried out in Pakistan’s Baluchistan province on Saturday killed top Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour.

The strike is a bold move by the U.S. that represents a long overdue shift in strategy toward the Taliban.

Over the last year the U.S. has focused its diplomatic attention on pursuing peace talks with the Taliban. Hopes were raised last summer when Pakistan played host to face-to-face talks between the Afghan government and Taliban officials in early July.

However, weeks later just before a second round of talks was scheduled to be held, reports surfaced that Taliban Supreme leader Mullah Omar had died two years previously, causing disarray within the Taliban movement.

Pakistan helped install Akhtar Mansour as Mullah Omar’s successor, although Mansour initially had trouble consolidating his control over the group. Pakistan also helped engineer the placement of Sirajuddin Haqqani as Mansour’s deputy, thus cementing ties between the Taliban and the deadly Haqqani network, responsible for some of the fiercest attacks against Afghan and coalition forces.

Over the last eighteen months, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has gone out of his way to try to reach out to Pakistan to encourage it to use its influence to bring the Taliban to the peace table.

However, escalating Taliban violence in the country, which culminated in a major truck bombing that killed nearly 65 people in Kabul on April 19th, prompted Ghani to shift his strategy.

Ghani told a joint session of the Afghan parliament on April 25th that pursuing peace through negotiations with the Taliban was no longer a priority, and that Afghan security forces would destroy the “terrorists” through relentless air and ground operations.

The killing of Akhtar Mansour on Pakistani territory shows the U.S. also is making welcome changes to its Afghan strategy. It is unlikely the U.S. coordinated the drone strike with Pakistani officials, given Pakistan’s close links with Mansour. Pakistan has not yet officially responded to the strike, which almost certainly came as a major surprise.

The U.S. has sought to take advantage of possible openings for a Taliban reconciliation process but the wildcard has always been whether Pakistan would be willing to pressure Taliban leaders that shelter on its territory.

Without Pakistani willingness to crack down on Taliban elements on its side of the border, there is little reason to believe a reconciliation process is possible.

Only when the Taliban are under military pressure in both Afghanistan and Pakistan will there be any realistic hope for a peace settlement.

U.S.-Pakistan relations have recently soured over U.S. Congressional moves to block U.S. funding for additional F-16 aircraft for Pakistan and to enforce conditions on other U.S. military aid because of Pakistan’s failure to crack down on the Haqqani network.

The killing of the Taliban Supremo on Pakistani territory is likely to deepen those tensions. (For more from the author of “Killing of Taliban Leader in Pakistan Demonstrates Shift in US Strategy” please click HERE)

Congress Takes Next Step to Impeach IRS Chief

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans will soon take the next steps necessary in their bid to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen.

On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee plans to hear testimony and examine charges that Koskinen obstructed a congressional investigation into the agency’s treatment of conservative groups.

While Koskinen is willing to appear at a second hearing in June, the Internal Revenue Service told Politico that the 76-year old commissioner was not able to prepare adequately for the Tuesday hearing. So the nation’s top taxman won’t show.

In a written statement to the Judiciary Committee, Koskinen described the allegations and impeachment resolution as “without merit” and “unwarranted.”

“Under my direction,” Koskinen wrote, “the IRS has responded comprehensively and in good faith to the various subpoenas and document requests from the investigating entities.”

Nevertheless, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told The Daily Signal “that the second hearing is more important.” The Freedom Caucus Chairman, who helped spearhead the impeachment effort, explained that the first hearing “is just sort of to get the facts out there.”

Republicans, like Jordan, say there’s plenty to cover at Tuesday’s hearing without Koskinen.

Conservatives argue that Koskinen is unfit to be tax chief because he flouted congressional authority, allowed subpoenaed emails to be destroyed, and misled the public during his testimony.

“Never lose site of the underlying offense though,” Jordan said, “an agency, with the power the IRS has over American lives, systematically targeted people for their political beliefs. That is as fundamentally wrong you can be.”

In 2010, the agency began flagging applications from conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status. Tax agents targeted applications for further review that contained terms such as tea party, patriot, and government spending.

Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., described the agency’s subsequent conduct as “a total obstruction of justice,” in an April interview with The Daily Signal. “And the question is, will Congress do anything when an agency like that walks all over us? Or are we just going to let is happen?”

The Florida prosecutor, who sits on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is slated to testify Tuesday and he’s had plenty of time to prepare: the effort began last October in that committee under chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah.

Since then, the GOP brass have been hesitant to continue the impeachment process. House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said that the IRS “needs to be cleaned up” but said that’s a task best suited for after the November election.

To place pressure on leadership, members of the Freedom Caucus went to the floor on April 14 to deliver speeches calling on Ryan and Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., to end their opposition to proceeding with impeachment.

Later, behind closed doors, conservatives threatened to go it alone. The Freedom Caucus threatened to use a mechanism known as a “privileged resolution” to force a floor vote on impeachment if leadership declined.

Jordan said he believes that Koskinen’s record combined with “members of the Freedom Caucus pushing our leadership to do it, that’s what finally caused us actually to get a hearing.”

After going through the Judiciary Committee, the impeachment effort would still require a majority of the House before going to the Senate for further consideration.

But Jordan wouldn’t comment on what the Freedom Caucus might do if the impeachment effort again got bogged down in committee. The Ohio chairman would only say that “we’re committed to impeaching Mr. Koskinen.”

Historically, this would be a rare move: Congress has only deployed its impeachment power 19 times since the nation’s founding. Koskinen would be just the 20th federal official to be put on congressional trial, and could become only the ninth convicted.

Though the IRS provided Koskinen’s written testimony to The Daily Signal, they did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for additional comment. (For more from the author of “Congress Takes Next Step to Impeach IRS Chief” please click HERE)

Democrat Virginia Governor and Clinton Ally Under FBI Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to new reports, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) is the subject of an ongoing investigation brought by the FBI and Justice Department prosecutors from the public integrity unit.

The investigation dates back at least a year and seeks to determine whether donations made to his gubernatorial campaign violated the law.

As part of the probe, investigators are looking into his time spent as a board member on the Clinton Global Initiative, a branch of the Clinton Foundation established by former President Bill Clinton.

No allegations suggest the foundation did anything improper, but rather the investigation is strictly focused on campaign contributions.

One such contribution in question came from a Chinese businessman, Wang Wenliang, who donated $120,000 to McAuliffe through his U.S. business. Wang served as a delegate to China’s ceremonial legislature, the National People’s Congress.

Wang has also donated a staggering $2 million to the Clinton Foundation and has donated to various other causes and organizations, including New York University and Harvard.

While U.S. election law forbids foreign nationals from donating to federal, state, and local elections, Wang holds a legal permanent resident status in the U.S., which makes him eligible to donate.

So far, neither Wang nor his company have been contacted by U.S. investigators.

McAuliffe wasn’t made aware of the investigation until it was publicly announced, however, his attorney has claimed that McAuliffe will cooperate with investigators on the matter.

“The Governor will certainly cooperate with the government if he is contacted about it,” said attorney for the McAuliffe campaign Marc Elias.

“Neither the Governor nor his former campaign has knowledge of this matter, but as reported, contributions to the campaign from Mr. Wang were completely lawful,” Elias said.

McAuliffe is the second consecutive Virginia governor, following former Gov. Bob McDonnell, to come under investigation by the Justice Department.

In 2014, McDonnell was convicted of corruption charges related to gifts and loans he received from a friend, however, he has appealed this decision to the Supreme Court. (For more from the author of “Democrat Virginia Governor and Clinton Ally Under FBI Investigation” please click HERE)

VA Secretary: Disney Doesn’t Measure Wait Times, so Why Should VA?

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Sarah Westwood. Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald on Monday compared the length of time veterans wait to receive health care at the VA to the length of time people wait for rides at Disneyland, and said his agency shouldn’t use wait times as a measure of success because Disney doesn’t either.

“When you got to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line? Or what’s important? What’s important is, what’s your satisfaction with the experience?” McDonald said Monday during a Christian Science Monitor breakfast with reporters. “And what I would like to move to, eventually, is that kind of measure.”

McDonald’s comments angered House Speaker Paul Ryan, who tweeted out Monday afternoon, “This is not make-believe, Mr. Secretary. Veterans have died waiting in those lines.”

McDonald faced questions at the breakfast about the VA’s lack of transparency surrounding how long veterans must wait to receive care at VA facilities around the country. The agency has weathered controversy over the past several years due to its struggle to provide timely care for many patients.

Dying Vietnam Vet Asks for Final Meeting With Beloved Horses Outside Hospital

By Fox News. Vietnam veteran Roberto Gonzalez’s final wish was granted Saturday when he was reunited with his beloved horses — Ringo and Sugar — outside of a Texas VA hospital.

Gonzalez, of Premont, Texas, who was shot and paralyzed during the war, was wheeled outside the front doors of Audie Murphy Veterans Hospital in San Antonio where he was greeted by the horses he had raised for decades, mySA.com reported.

Gonzalez, who was one of the hospital’s first patients when it opened in 1974, had asked his family to see his horses one last time. The family passed along the request to hospital staff who gladly obliged. Ringo and Sugar then made the 150-mile trip to the hospital to see him.

“Horses are his life,” his wife, Rosario Gonzalez, told KABB. “We’ve been training and raising horses for 30, 40 years.”

The South Texas Veterans Health Care System posted a photo of the meeting on its Facebook page on Sunday, calling Gonzalez a great American and identifying him as one of the first patients at the hospital.

‘Do No Harm Act’ Will Force Christian Doctors To Perform Sex Change Operations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Reps. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.) and Bobby Scott (D-Va.) introduced the Do No Harm Act Wednesday, which would amend the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) to specify that religious exceptions should not apply to “protections against discrimination or the promotion of equal opportunity” and “access to, information about, referrals for, provision of, or coverage for, any health care item or service.”

The legislation is intended to “clarify that no one can seek religious exemption from laws guaranteeing fundamental civil and legal rights.”

The bill emphasizes that RFRA should not be interpreted to “authorize an exemption from generally applicable law that imposes the religious views, habits, or practices of one party upon another” or authorize “an exemption from generally applicable law that imposes meaningful harm, including dignitary harm, on a third party.”

Kennedy claimed in announcing the bill that “the Religious Freedom Restoration Act has become a vehicle for those seeking to impose their beliefs on others or claim that the tenants of their faith justify discrimination.”

“The Do No Harm Act will restore the balance between our right to religious freedom and our promise of equal protection under law,” he argued. (Read more from “‘Do No Harm Act’ Would Forbid Christian Doctors Objections to ‘Any Healthcare’ Service” HERE)

The Coming European Islamic Super-State

/0 Comments/in , /by

The following essay by Matthew Bracken was prompted by a cell-phone video from Germany of a culture-enricher assaulting a German teenaged boy. I won’t embed the video; I find it almost too unbearable to watch. To see a young man so unable to defend himself, so unwilling to stand up and be a man, is disheartening and dismaying.

This is heartbreaking to see, but very important.

This is how a dhimmi is created in a gun-free country, where armed self-defense is an alien concept. This is prison yard rules, and the young German is just fresh meat. This German kid will probably convert to Islam just to stop the pain and “gain the respect” of his new masters.

Note how the bully threatens to beat him every day just to harden him up and make him a man. A similar psychological process occurs in military boot camp with new recruits. He doesn’t know it yet, but his mother and sisters are now Moslem chattel property. He won’t lift a finger to defend German women; he is a dhimmi at best. Most likely he will just convert as a matter of bare survival, but he will always be a “second-class Muslim”, even if he submits. These IslamoNazi bullies will have him reciting the Shahada in less than a month, and after that, his sister is toast. Just fresh meat for the hijra jihadis.

This is how Islam has spread for 1,400 years: brute force, threats, intimidation, and using terror as an example of how far they are willing to go to force the spread.

Smug Americans who own firearms might laugh at the current plight of the Europeans, but they should not. The Europeans have been brainwashed by the “multi-kulti-uber-alles” Left to simply submit when the planned hijra invasion happened, which is happening now. The ordinary Euros were betrayed by Quisling traitors in high offices. From the Muslim point of view, the hijra invasion is moving from the dawah (preaching) phase to the jihad phase, using violence and threats of even greater violence to force a complete Muslim takeover. That German boy now understands who are the alpha males, and who are not: The Moslems are, and he isn’t.

But there is the long-term danger in this process even to America. If Islam wins in Europe, a well-known social/genetic dynamic will kick in. All of the German girls and women (even the man-hating radical feminists and lesbians) will be raped, enslaved, or “married” by force, but one way or the other, there will be a rising generation of Muslims in Europe who are half-German.

People should understand a genetic process called “hybrid vigor.” There is a reason the Ottoman Turks collected European boys to be raised as Janissaries. The Arab desert Muslims have terrible DNA after 1,400 years of first-cousin inbreeding, but when they impregnate their German conquest victims they will create generations of 100% full Muslims who are half German. Of course, this will happen in every European country, not only Germany.

Americans should not be smug about the collapse and Muslim conquest of Europe. Half-German “Super Muslims” will be a tough adversary. Remember the Ottoman Janissaries from history. They were fearsome fanatics, but also big, strong and smart.

Another crop of “Super Muslims” were the Berbers of Morocco, who provided most of the brains and muscle used for the invasion of Spain in 711 AD. The “desert Arabs” were a scrawny and pitiful bunch. Man for man, they were weaklings compared to the hearty Berber mountain folk. But the Berbers were divided, tribe against tribe, from one Atlas Mountains valley to another. The invading Arab armies picked off one tribe at a time, and forced them all to convert. These newly united Berber Super Muslims were imbued with ”convert zeal,” and ready to invade new worlds to spread the banner of Islam.

United for the first time in history, the Muslim Berbers of Morocco (under mostly Arab leadership) turned their natural war-lust against the Christians of Spain. Like the pre-Muslim Berber tribes had been before them, each Spanish Christian principality was divided from the others across the mountains of Spain. The united and newly converted Muslim Berber armies swept over the separate Spanish fiefdoms one after the other.

The point is that Muslim invasions have often succeeded against divided foes who were, man for man, much stronger and even smarter. A generation later, this invigorated hybrid population can be very dangerous, because after the consolidation phase where the invaded region is brought under united Islamic control, they will be straining to burst their borders and conquer new worlds, like the Super Muslim Berbers did in Spain. Think also of Iran in this context. United Arab Muslim armies conquered Persia, creating another brand of hybridized “Super Muslims.”

I shudder to think of what German Super Muslims will be capable of in thirty years, if Islam is triumphant in Europe. They would make the Earth shake.
