Criminal Justice Activist Donna Hylton, Featured in DNC Video, Was Convicted for Role in Grisly 1985 Murder

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Donna Hylton was known as inmate #86G0206 for 27 years.

She was behind bars for her role in the grisly murder and torture of Thomas Vigliarolo, a balding New York businessman found stuffed inside a steamer trunk and left to rot in Harlem. Hylton and six others let him die “in the most heinous circumstances,” the prosecutor said at their trial in 1985. On Thursday, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hailed Hylton as one of “America’s most impactful community leaders” and asked her to participate in a video reading of the Preamble to the Constitution during a televised portion of the convention.

Her appearance has left some people puzzled and others furious, wondering why the DNC would rally behind a woman who was involved in the brutal rape, torture and murder of a 62-year-old man. . .

One user wrote, “Did anyone notice listed under the DNC’s “America’s most impactful community leaders” was Donna Hylton? She’s a classy 55-year-old woman convicted for the kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of a 62-year-old Long Island real estate broker in 1986.”

Twitter user @Covidhomeschool weighed in: “You are the furthest thing from a Christian. Pretend all you want about loving Jesus. People who torture and murder do not go to heaven. There is no making up for what you did. Yet, you are monitizing [sic] off it! Just shows how you really are not sorry. Hell gates await you!” (Read more from “Criminal Justice Activist Donna Hylton, Featured in Dnc Video, Was Convicted for Role in Grisly 1985 Murder” HERE)

From Wikipedia:

“On March 20, 1985, Donna Hylton and three female accomplices drugged and kidnapped 62-year-old Long Island real estate broker Thomas Vigliarolo at the behest of Louis Miranda, who thought Vigliarolo had cheated him out of $139,000 on a mutual con in which the two allegedly sold shares in New York City condos and pocketed the money. The kidnappers held Vigliarolo prisoner for 15–20 days. During that time, three men and four women, including Hylton, starved, burned, beat, sexually assaulted/raped, and tortured him. On April 5, 1985, with Hylton asleep in the next room, Vigliarolo died of asphyxiation. Three days later, his body was found locked in a trunk in a Manhattan apartment”

Trump Explains ‘Simple’ Difference Between Running Against Clinton and Biden

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump talked about the “simple” difference between running against Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton as presidential election rivals.

During an address Friday to the 2020 Council for National Policy Meeting, he claimed Clinton is smarter than Biden but is not as well liked.

“Somebody said, ‘What’s the difference between Clinton and Biden?’ Should I say it? Should I tell you? Well, Clinton is much smarter, but not a likable person. Joe is not nearly as smart, but he is more likable. So, you know, I don’t know. Maybe I’d rather have the smarter person, who cares about personality, right?” the president said to laughs in the room. . .

The president spoke less than a day after Biden delivered his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, which received rave reviews from some political pundits and journalists. For instance, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace said that Biden’s speech “blew a hole” in the Trump campaign’s claims that the former vice president is frail or senile.

Biden Accused of Plagiarism in DNC Acceptance Speech

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has been accused of plagiarizing a part of his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. . .

Several Canadians took to Twitter calling foul during the broadcast of Biden’s speech Thursday night, accusing Biden of lifting the words of departed liberal Canadian politician Jack Layton, who passed away in 2011.

CBS News Washington correspondent Alexander Panetta noted, “A number of Canadians are struck by the similar parting words of Biden’s speech to the final words of Jack Layton’s farewell letter before his death.” . . .

In Biden’s speech, he said, “For love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear. Light is more powerful than dark. This is our moment. This is our mission.”

Layton’s quote read, “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” (Read more from “Biden Accused of Plagiarism in DNC Acceptance Speech” HERE)

WATCH: Republican National Convention Night One

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. . .Tonight’s theme is “Land of Promise.”

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) says 2020 has tested our nation in ways we haven’t seen in decades after talking about the Coronavirus, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor.

Scott talks about his life story about how he lived with his mom and his grandmother in a two-bedroom home after his parents divorced. He said he thought he had to use football to succeed and did not concentrate on his academics and failed out. He says even while he was failing the 9th grade, his mom told him, after working 16 hours a day, to shoot for the moon because if you fail you will be among the stars. He tells the story of his mentor, a Chick-fil-A operator John Moniz. . .

Donald Trump Jr. wants to speak about the great American story. He says just a few months ago, we were seeing the American Dream become a reality for more Americans. He blames Joe Biden for calling Trump a racist and a xenophobe for his China travel ban. He says it is madness that Biden is trying to shut down the country. He says Biden’s economic platform seems designed to crush the working man and woman. He rips “Beijing Biden” for supporting NAFTA, TPP. He says China wants Biden to win while Biden wants to bring in more illegal immigrants to take jobs from America citizens. He says this will drive wages down from low-income Americans who were getting wage increases for the first time in modern history. He says Trump’s policies have been like rocket fuel for the economy while Biden, the “Loch Ness Monster of the Swamp” that has been lurking around for decades and sticks his head up every now and then to run for president, wants to take money out of your pocket for Swamp dwellers.

Trump Jr. says both parties used to love America but now Democrats are attacking the basic principles on which the nation was founded.

Parkland Father at GOP Convention: Donald Trump Key to School Safety

By Breitbart. Parkland father Andrew Pollack spoke during the opening night of the Republican National Convention and stressed that President Donald Trump is key to school safety.

Pollack’s daughter Meadow was killed in the February 14, 2018, attack on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that took the lives of 17 innocents.

Speaking at the convention, he stressed that President Trump took school safety seriously from the start.

Pollack said he was invited to the White House after the Parkland attack and that President Trump took the time to listen as Pollack shared his concerns. He heard Pollack talk of how “far-left Democrats in … [the] school district made this shooting possible because they implemented something they called ‘restorative justice.’ This policy — which really just blames teachers for student failures — puts kids and teachers at risk and makes shootings more likely.”

He stressed that President Trump went further than simply listening, he actually “took action.” He did this by doing away with Obama administration guidelines for the “restorative justice” approach and by forming a commission that could suggest solutions.

White Supremacist Who Organized Charlottesville Race Riots Endorses Joe Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Richard Spencer, neo-Nazi, white supremacist, and organizer of the infamous 2017 Charlottesville riots, announced yesterday on Twitter that he will be voting for Joe Biden in the upcoming 2020 election.

A Twitter user asked Spencer if he will be voting for Biden or sitting out the election, given his belief that “Biden/Kamala will be tougher on crime/BLM than Trump.” Spencer responded, “I plan to vote for Biden and a straight democratic ticket. It’s not based on ‘accelerationism’ or anything like that; the liberals are clearly more competent people.”

Although Spencer claims that his endorsement is about competence and not ideology, his comments from the 2017 Charlottesville riots say otherwise. During his keynote speech in Charlottesville, Spencer explained how abortion advances white nationalist goals, stating, “The people who are having abortions are generally very often black or Hispanic or from very poor circumstances.”

It’s true that the vast majority of Planned Parenthood clinics, the leading abortion provider in the U.S., are in minority neighborhoods. According to the CDC’s Abortion Surveillance report, black women make up 34 percent of all abortions in the United States, though they are only 13.4 percent of the U.S. population. The Charlotte Lozier Institute in New York City reported that black women in New York City have more abortions than live births. This is not too surprising considering the Planned Parenthood’s original goal of targeting the offspring of the poor, of minorities, and babies who are physically or mentally challenged.

WATCH: Trump Set to Spark Another Liberal Media Meltdown With His Potential Plan to Prevent Voter Fraud

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

. . .Well, if you thought [liberals] breakdown over Operation Legend, Trump’s federal anti-crime initiative, then just wait to when Democrats hear more about his plan to prevent voter fraud come November. He might deploy law enforcement and US attorneys to polling locations (via The Hill):

When asked by Fox News host Sean Hannity late Thursday night if the president was going to “have an ability” to monitor and avoid fraud during the upcoming November elections, Trump said, “We’re going to have everything.”

“We’re going to have sheriffs, and we’re going to have law enforcement. And we’re going to have hopefully U.S. attorneys, and we’re going to have everybody and attorney generals,” the president continued.

The president once again criticized the practice of mail-in voting, alleging that “anybody can sign” the universal mail-in ballots, specifically naming the system in Nevada.

He’s been mulling something along these lines for quite some time. Of course, some election lawyers are worried. But he knows how the media works, how they think, and the fascist attacks will flow from this for sure. That’s what he wants; he wants the overreaction and these clowns always fall for it, especially at CNN.

Lawsuit Alleging Fish and Wildlife Officers Trespassed, Set up Secret Cameras on Private Land May Proceed, Judge Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

A bid by the state of Tennessee to dismiss a lawsuit over spying by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency on private property has been rejected by a judge.

The dispute is over the state agencies posting of cameras on private property without permission to surveil hunting activities. . .

Landowners Terry Rainwaters and Hunter Hollingsworth joined with the Institute for Justice to sue the state for “ignoring their ‘No Trespassing’ signs by entering and installing cameras on their land.”

“Private land is not open to public officers,” said IJ Attorney Joshua Windham. “We look forward to Tennessee’s courts declaring once and for all that the Tennessee Constitution does not allow the government to conduct warrantless surveillance of private property.”

The state has claimed a century-old “open fields” doctrine gives its officials the right to use private land. (Read more from “Lawsuit Alleging Fish and Wildlife Officers Trespassed, Set up Secret Cameras on Private Land May Proceed, Judge Says” HERE)

GOP Calls for Amazon to Explain Reliance on SPLC

/0 Comments/in , /by

GOP members of the House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary sent a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos concerning the Southern Poverty Law Center’s relationship with Amazon Smile, a charity program that lets customers donate money to any of the acceptable nonprofits listed on the website.

In the letter, the Reps. Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Mike Johnson, Ken Buck, and others determined that Amazon’s reliance on the SPLC to decide which charities may become eligible for the Smile donation program confirms that “Big Tech is biased against conservatives and censors conservative views.”

“The exclusion of these conservative groups from Amazon’s heavily-trafficked digital platform leads to less exposure for these groups and fewer opportunities for donations,” the letter reads. “In this way, Amazon’s reliance on the SPLC as a barometer to determine the eligibility of charitable organizations on AmazonSmile serves to discriminate against conservative views.”

The letter also outlines why the SPLC is unreliable, claiming that its willingness to place some conservative groups in the same category as “actual extremist organizations” proves its untrustworthiness and unreliability. (Read more from “GOP Calls for Amazon to Explain Reliance on SPLC” HERE)

Alaska Gold Mine CEO Insists Trump Isn’t Blocking Project Despite Conservative Opposition

/0 Comments/in , /by

The CEO of a large proposed gold and copper mine in Alaska’s Bristol Bay is denying reports that prominent conservative opposition to the project, including from Donald Trump Jr., has turned the White House against the project.

In a letter made public Monday, the Army Corps of Engineers asked the developers of the proposed Pebble Mine to take additional measures to compensate for the effects the mine will have on wetlands and streams before it can be permitted. The move could push a final decision on the mine until after the election. Democratic nominee Joe Biden has said he would halt the project.

Opponents of the project are suggesting the mitigation requirements are so significant that it would essentially block the project from moving forward.

“Real mitigation is death for Pebble Mine, because it’s impossible to mitigate the damage this project would inflict on Bristol Bay, its Tribes, and the people whose livelihoods and well-being depend on it,” said Joel Reynolds, a senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council’s nature program.

However, Tom Collier, CEO of Pebble Limited Partnership, the mine’s owner and a subsidiary of Canadian-based Northern Dynasty Minerals, says the company has been preparing for weeks a plan to address the Army Corps’ concerns.
