Female Patriot Prayer Member Clobbers Antifa Goon on Camera

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Violence was on full display several days ago in Portland, Oregon, a distinctly liberal city. That’s where the right-leaning group Patriot Prayer was protested by the far-left and frequently violent group “antifa,” and one video clip from the melee has gone viral.

During a clash between Patriot Prayer, antifa, and a far-right group called the Proud Boys, all hell broke loose… but footage of a female Patriot member not just holding her own but physically dominating an antifa goon shows that the radical left may have bitten off more than it can chew.

“#Antifa would like you to refrain from making this into a GIF and using it all the time,” wrote Adam Richard on Twitter, along with a short clip of the altercation. “It’s not good for their image when their [Antifa] ‘soldiers’ get the s–t kicked out of them by Patriot Women. #PatriotPrayer.”

[Warning: this video does contain explicit, violent material.]

In the footage, a woman who is apparently part of the right-leaning Patriot Prayer group appears to have gotten the best of an antifa rioter, and pummels him on the ground as cameras record the action. . .

The details around this incident are murky, but several reports indicate that Patriot Prayer members were following the law and exercising non-violent free speech when they were essentially ambushed by antifa, a group that openly advocates violence against conservative Americans whom it has labeled “fascists.” (Read more from “Female Patriot Prayer Member Clobbers Antifa Goon on Camera” HERE)

C’Mon! Leftists Protest ICE Officials as They Infiltrate a Child Sex Trafficking Ring Ran by Illegals

/0 Comments/in , /by

Liberal protesters in California scrambled to protest as they believed ICE agents were making an immigration raid on neighbors.

They gathered outside of an Oakland home Tuesday where Homeland Security officials were actually executing a federal criminal search warrant in connection with a child sex trafficking ring. . .

Clueless young liberals speaking with KPIX-TV admitted that although they didn’t know the details of what the federal agents were doing, the fact that they saw “a bunch of cop cars, a bunch of other cars that are apparently ICE cars,” was alarming given that there are “a lot of injustices going on.”

Oakland Police confirmed to KPIX that “this was in fact a federal criminal search warrant executed in connection with human sex trafficking of juveniles right here in the 700 block of 27th street,” reporter Neda Iranpour shared.

The ridiculous knee-jerk reactions of the left, especially as law enforcement was in the process of doing their job of rescuing human trafficking victims, were mocked and lambasted on Twitter.

Trump’s SCOTUS Pick: It’s Down to These Three People

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. We have another name to add to the Supreme Court short list: Judge Raymond Kethledge of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals…reportedly. NBC News reported on this development. Judges Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, who were supposedly the final two, are also on the list. Kethledge is 51 years old and a graduate of Yale Law School:

President Donald Trump has narrowed his list of contenders to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy to three serious candidates, a source familiar with the selection process told NBC News on Thursday.

Those candidates are appeals court judges Brett Kavanaugh, Raymond Kethledge and Amy Coney Barrett, the source, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said.

Kavanaugh, 53, and Kethledge, 51, are both former law clerks to Kennedy, as was Neil Gorsuch, Trump’s first Supreme Court nominee, who succeeded Antonin Scalia. Kavanaugh, also a veteran of George W. Bush’s White House, currently serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Eat It, Liberals: Trump Economy Just Received Stellar News

/0 Comments/in , /by

If Donald Trump wins the election, the stock market will collapse. He doesn’t have an agenda that can create jobs. You all heard the doomsday talk. In the end, three million jobs have been created since Trump was elected. The Dow Jones broke 26,000, and had a 5,000-point surge last year—the largest annual gain ever. All told, the stock market has grown around 40 percent since Trump’s upset win over Hillary Clinton.

The tax reform package passed in 2017 has laid down a solid foundation for economic growth. Wages are growing. Consumer and small business confidence has reached its highest levels in 10+ years. Unemployment has reached an 18-year low, black unemployment has reached a historic low. The good economic news is pervasive and starting to make Democrats nervous, who thought the tax cuts would be an albatross around the GOP’s neck—wrong. Now, for the second quarter, the economic growth is project to hit four percent. (Read more from “Eat It, Liberals: Trump Economy Just Received Stellar News” HERE)

Boys Trapped in Flooded Cave Found Alive After 9 Days. Here’s Why They Still Haven’t Been Rescued.

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. The ongoing international rescue effort to get 12 young boys and their soccer coach out of a cave in northern Thailand has come up against another hurdle: heavy rains in the forecast could worsen the already flooded caves making rescue attempts impossible.

On June 23, the 11 to 16-year-old soccer players and their coach hiked into the Tham Luang Nang Non cave, a popular tourist site in Thailand. But as they ventured into the mountain, heavy rains caused the caves to flood and cut off their exit route. The group was forced to retreat nearly three miles into the cave to find dry ground. The group was trapped in total darkness for the next nine days. Two British divers discovered the boys and their coach on July 2, but the team’s troubles were far from over.

Rescuers have been working on multiple plans to get the group out, but are now up against the additional treat of more rain as the monsoon season approaches. (Read more from “Boys Trapped in Flooded Cave Found Alive After 9 Days. Here’s Why They Still Haven’t Been Rescued.” HERE)

Longtime NY Dem Slams Schumer, Defends Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a social media post responding to a fundraising campaign by US Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), fellow New York Democrat Dov Hikind didn’t hold back. . .

Hikind has been a New York State Assemblyman since 1983, so he’s no stranger to the political game. But since announcing that he will soon be retiring from public office, the public servant evidently felt he had nothing to lose by telling his own party how he really feels.

Hikind then spells out a litany of glaring omissions in the mailer, such as how well the economy has been performing, and how much the US relationship with Israel has improved. He also criticized Schumer for his efforts to “fully villainize the current administration.”

Some real zingers fired by Hikind are in the closing of the lengthy post, where he fires at Schumer: “You ask for a contribution, but the Democratic Party — which I am a lifelong member of — is currently betraying the ideals that our party once stood for: American values.

“You yourself proposed that Representative Ellison head the party, but you must surely know that Ellison has stood with our nation’s leading hate monger Louis Farrakhan. (Read more from “Longtime NY Dem Slams Schumer, Defends Trump” HERE)

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt Resigns Amidst Ethics Questions

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt tendered his resignation on Thursday.

President Donald Trump announced in a tweet that he had accepted Pruitt’s resignation and that he thought Pruitt had done an “outstanding job.”

Pruitt has been part of the Trump administration since the beginning. He had recently faced questions about his spending habits at the EPA, which included purchasing a $43,000 secure phone booth without congressional approval, and allegedly using agency resources to find a $200,000 job for his wife.

The EPA is currently facing 13 separate federal inquiries into allegations of mismanagement and irresponsible spending practices.

On May 1, two of Pruitt’s employees at the EPA resigned during this ongoing ethics investigation. The staffers did not give reasons for their resignations. (Read more from “EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt Resigns Amidst Ethics Questions” HERE)

EPA Leader Scott Pruitt Resigns After Scandals Engulf His Agency

By CNBC. . . President Donald Trump tweeted on Thursday that he has accepted Pruitt’s resignation. Trump said that the agency’s deputy administrator and former coal industry lobbyist, Andrew Wheeler, will become the acting head of EPA.

The departure follows months of scrutiny that gathered momentum following reports that Pruitt had rented a Capitol Hill condominium linked to an energy lobbyist on favorable terms. The revelation exacerbated concerns about the high cost of Pruitt’s travel and security detail and triggered a flood of allegations that Pruitt fostered a culture of workplace retaliation, wasteful spending and self-dealing at EPA.

The steady flow of negative news stories prompted multiple government investigators to open several inquiries into Pruitt. His EPA now faces about a dozen probes into its spending, ethics and policy decisions.

“It is extremely difficult for me to cease serving you in this role first because I count it as a blessing to be serving you in any capacity, but also because of the transformative work that is occurring,” Pruitt said in his resignation letter.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Daily Wire. Illegal alien Buena Ventura Martin Godinez issued a warning on Sunday to other migrants looking to illegally enter the United States, telling them to find another country because the Trump administration’s policies were tough.

CBS News reports that Martin Godinez had been separated from her 7-year-old daughter for approximately two months after being caught illegally entering the U.S.

“I would advise people to find another country to seek refuge because here the law is very tough,” Martin Godinez said. “People don’t have a heart.”

After Being Separated From Daughter at Border, Mom Warns Illegal Aliens to “Find Another Country”

By CBS News. It had been nearly two months since Buena Ventura Martin Godinez has seen her 7-year-old daughter after the frightened young mother was separated from her family trying to cross from Mexico into the U.S. They’ve spoken tearfully by phone, but seeing her at a Miami airport Sunday for the first time, she grabbed the child in a tight embrace, tears running down her cheeks during a reunion she feared may never happen.

“I feel very happy, now and to complete my joy I would like to have my husband released,” Martin said in Spanish as her daughter Janne clutched a stuffed dog and blue balloons and played with her younger brother at baggage claim. . .

Her husband, Pedro Godinez Aguilar, was convicted of the misdemeanor offense of illegal entry into the U.S. and awaits almost certain deportation at a jail in Atlanta. (Read more from “After Being Separated From Daughter at Border, Mom Warns Illegal Aliens to “Find Another Country” HERE)

CNN Host Proclaims ‘National Emergency’

/0 Comments/in , /by

July started with a lull. On the Monday before Independence Day, the news network morning shows led with the oppressively hot weather. The normal feverish panic about living in Donald Trump’s America was missing for a few hours.

You can count on CNN “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter to stay true to the trash-Trump parade. At the liberal Aspen Ideas Festival, he interviewed Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron. Stelter claimed to speak for the crowd when he began asking: “Are we living through a national emergency? And if so, how in the heck should journalists be covering it that way?”

Baron replied that it isn’t his place to answer that. His newspaper’s role “is to cover very aggressively this administration as we would cover any other administration.” He claimed, “We’re not in the business of sort of characterizing the era.”

This is preposterous. The Post greeted the Trump presidency by posting a new motto on the front page each day: “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” It sells T-shirts with the motto to other liberals. By contrast, during Barack Obama’s presidential transition in 2009, the Post promoted to national editor a journalist who wrote gushy captions for a coffee-table book titled “Obama: The Historic Campaign in Photographs.”

Most Americans would suggest that the Dow Jones Industrial Average being up 5,000 points since President Trump’s inauguration and the unemployment rate being 3.8 percent is not a national emergency. But then again, most Americans aren’t journalists.

The silliness continued. Stelter told Baron, “The media critique from the left is that this is a crisis and thus journalists have to cover it differently than Bush or Obama or other past presidents.”

Baron acknowledged the Post is “more blunt about calling out falsehoods” than it was previously “because there are so many of them and they’re so blatant.” Then he added: “Steve Bannon tried to call us the opposition party. We don’t see ourselves as the opposition party and we’re not inclined to embrace the notions of some people who would like us to be the opposition party. We’re an independent news organization. We’re independent of all parties and all ideologies.”

Baloney. Baron simply cannot believe that, unless the Kool-Aid is stronger than we thought. Wouldn’t it be fun to find out just how many Washington Post reporters and editors voted for Hillary Clinton over Trump? If a single Trump voter could be found in the newsroom, that would be a surprise. How “independent of all parties” would the Post look then? We found in 2016 that among the Post employees who donated to candidates for federal office in recent years, 15 donated only to Democrats and one advertising sales manager gave to $200 to former Gov. Mitt Romney.

Stelter kept pestering Baron from the left in Aspen: “Your famous line is that ‘We’re not at war; we’re at work.’ … But if one side is at war and the other side is a pacifist, doesn’t the pacifist lose?”

This may be the one occasion where liberals discuss the benefits of war and the pitfalls of pacifism!

“It’s not the way that I would frame it,” Baron explained. “[W]e have the greatest credibility when we do our jobs honestly, honorably, accurately, fairly, diligently, energetically, unflinchingly.”

Our media have shunned any notion of objectivity under Trump. Activists like Brian Stelter keep urging top editors to oppose, rebel and resist, and they wonder why their own approval ratings continue to sink lower, and lower, and lower.
