WATCH: MSNBC Guest Calls for White Trump Voters to Be ‘Destroyed’

/0 Comments/in , /by

So, we’ve had two mass shootings recently. They were committed less than 24 hours apart in different parts of the country. In El Paso, a white supremacist that hated Mexicans killed 20+ people at a Walmart. In Dayton, Ohio, a self-avowed leftist who supported gun control, Antifa, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) shot and killed nine people. Scores more were wounded in these incidents. The calls for gun control have heightened, but also one would think it would be a time to maybe temper the rhetoric, especially since the Left has gone off the deep end. Prior to these incidents, an Antifa activist attacked an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington. Two ICE offices in San Antonio, Texas had shots fired at them as well. ICE blamed heated rhetoric and misinformation for the Texas shootings, which the FBI is investigating and have labeled them, targeted attacks. Well, over at MSNBC, that wasn’t the case. In fact, one guest said the Left needed to “destroy” Trump voters, specifically whites who support the president (via Washington Examiner):

MSNBC guest Elie Mystal, who is the executive editor of AboveTheLaw.com, advocated for nonwhite voters to mobilize to defeat President Trump in the 2020 presidential election, saying “you do not negotiate with” with his white supporters. . .

“You don’t communicate it to them — you beat them. You beat them,” Mystal said. “They are not a majority of this country. The majority of white people in this country are not a majority of the country. And all the people who are not fooled by this need to come together, go to the polls, go to the protests, do whatever you have to do. You do not negotiate with these people, you destroy them.”

Trump Considering Buying World’s Biggest Island

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump made his name as a real-estate man, and now he is reportedly contemplating the biggest purchase of his life: buying Greenland.

The Wall Street Journal reports, “In meetings, at dinners and in passing conversations, Mr. Trump has asked advisers whether the U.S. can acquire Greenland, listened with interest when they discuss its abundant resources and geopolitical importance, and, according to two of the people, has asked his White House counsel to look into the idea.”

Denmark owns Greenland, although Greenland is self-ruled, At over 836,000 square miles, Greenland is the world’s largest island (Australia and Antarctica are considered landmasses.) Despite its enormous size, only 56,000 people live in Greenland; that’s because three-quarters of Greenland is covered by a permanent ice sheet.

Greenland came under the Norwegian crown in 1262; the Portuguese briefly claimed it at the start of the 16th century. In the early 1700’s, Denmark and Norway, which were joined under one crown, owned the island, but in 1814 when the union was dissolved, Denmark took control. In 1979, Denmark granted Greenland home rule. Denmark now handles Greenland’s foreign and security policy.

Trump is due to visit Copenhagen in September. The Wall Street Journal notes, “A decades-old defense treaty between Denmark and the U.S. gives the U.S. military virtually unlimited rights in Greenland at America’s northernmost base, Thule Air Base. Located 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle, it includes a radar station that is part of a U.S. ballistic missile early warning system. The base is also used by the U.S. Air Force Space Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command.” (Read more from “Trump Considering Buying World’s Biggest Island” HERE)

Report: University Gender Studies Department Publishes Paper Saying Milking Cows Is Like Sexual Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

The journal of one New York university’s Women’s and Gender Studies program has published a paper that insists that milking cows is comparable to “sexual abuse,” “emotional trauma related to pregnancy,” and “nonconsensual hormone treatments,” according to Celine Ryan, writing for Campus Reform.

The paper, “Readying the Rape Rack: Feminism and the Exploitation of Non-Human Reproductive Systems,” was included in Dissenting Voices, published and edited by the Women’s and Gender Studies program at the College at Brockport State University of New York. . .

The author writes, “Throughout our lives, we are offered an idealized image of dairy cows where these animals graze on beautiful pastures, have room to sow and play, and are comforted in spacious areas in which to sleep. We are presented with images of a life well lived, but when it comes to the deaths of those same animals, the picture perfect story comes to a grim reality.”

The paper continues, “The outdated stereotype about women being caretakers and most importantly child bearers remains consistent in the dairy industry, especially when we take into account the means through which these animals are exploited. A few brief examples include rape or sexual assault, nonconsensual hormone treatments, and emotional trauma related to pregnancy. Dairy cows are forcibly impregnated, or raped, in order to constantly produce milk for humans to consume.” . . .

The author concludes, “While we fight against the sexual abuse of women, why are we still allowing the same treatment to be thrust upon other living bodies when there are other, more sustainable ways to live that do not involve harming millions of female bodies? With simple lifestyle changes that promote reproductive justice towards animals available to many, why are we picking and choosing which pots of capitalism, sexism, and patriarchy to stir, when we could dismantle it all?” (Read more from “Report: University Gender Studies Department Publishes Paper Saying Milking Cows Is Like Sexual Abuse” HERE)

Epstein’s Bodyguard Gives ‘Nervous’ Interview, ‘Backs Away’ From Previous Statements

/0 Comments/in , /by

In an interview with M.L. Nestel published by New York Magazine Wednesday, the former bodyguard of Jeffrey Epstein — the wealthy financier who was found dead in his cell from suspected self-strangulation on Saturday amid a series of unusual circumstances — contradicted statements Nestel said he made to him in a previous, unpublished interview conducted four years ago.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect that he’d try to back away from the assertions he made in our original interview — but he did,” writes Nestel in the lead-in to the interview. “He also seemed, it is safe to say, quite nervous about saying anything at all.”

The disgraced financier’s former bodyguard, former Russian UFC fighter Igor Zinoviev, told Nestel in the follow-up interview that he “never” talked with Epstein about the first case against him, which resulted in the billionaire pleading guilty to underage prostitution charges.

Nestel, who appeared genuinely surprised by the assertion, followed up by reading what he said was a direct quote from Zinoviev in their 2015 interview about Epstein’s relationships with teenage girlfriends: “So many time I tried to stop him. I try to tell tell him my opinion about that. He don’t listen to me. That’s the reason why I’m not working for him no more. I make him do that — to let me go.” . . .

When Nestel stressed that he “definitely” told him previously there were teenage girls involved, Zinoviev said, “No, no. It’s not that. He working like work-release on other stuff. And I just tell him, you know, he would order his girlfriends around, and I told him, ‘Calm down.’ It’s not just teenage girls,” Zinoviev replied. “I never see teenage girls in my life at his house. That’s what it is. That’s a misunderstanding. Completely.” (Read more from “Epstein’s Bodyguard Gives ‘Nervous’ Interview, ‘Backs Away’ From Previous Statements” HERE)

2 Illegal Aliens Accused of Raping 11-Year-Old Girl in Sanctuary City

/0 Comments/in , /by

The video of a crying 11-year-old girl is being used by the Left to militate against enforcing our sovereignty and immigration laws. Apparently the rule should be that anyone can come here and remain here illegally if they have a child, because enforcing our laws will result in hardship to the kids. But no such heart-tugging imagery exists for all the girls raped and harmed by criminal aliens thanks to the lack of enforcement or loopholes in our laws. The latest atrocity involves a different 11-year-old girl who will never be seen on camera.

Yesterday, WJLA news reported that Montgomery County, Maryland, police arrested two illegal aliens from El Salvador, Mauricio Barrera-Navidad, 29, and Carlos Palacios-Amaya, 28, for raping an 11-year-old child known to the alleged attackers. The investigation was triggered by a discussion the child had with a school social worker last month, and the rapes are alleged to have occurred last September.

In September 2018, the victim was introduced to her older brother’s friend, Palacios-Amaya. Over the course of the next few months, the then 27-year-old man raped the middle schooler on multiple occasions, authorities allege. The victim recalled one instance where Palacios-Amaya “used his cell phone to video record the two of them having sex,” police noted in court documents.

The victim told the social worker that Palacios-Amaya would often pressure her not to attend school so that she could stay home while her parents were at work. That gave Palacios-Amaya unsupervised access to the girl.

Palacios-Amaya is charged with four counts of second-degree rape, and Barrera-Navidad is charged with one.

This story demonstrates, once again, that the people harmed the most by the lack of enforcement can be immigrant or illegal immigrant children. While the identity of a child victim is never released, it’s clear from the story that her older brother was friends with these individuals and they likely traveled in the same circles.

ICE spokeswoman Justine Whelan provided CR with the same statement regarding the immigration status of the accused as in the local ABC news report:

On July 25, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with the Montgomery County (Maryland) Detention Center on Carlos Ernesto Palacios-Amaya, a Salvadoran national, and a repeat immigration violator, following his arrest for rape. Palacios was previously removed from the U.S. in 2014.

On July 26, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with the Montgomery County (Maryland) Detention Center on Mauricio Barrera-Navidad, a Salvadoran national, unlawfully present in the United States, following his arrest for rape. Barrera is subject to a final order of removal that was issued by an immigration judge in December 2016.

Sadly, it’s unlikely that a single elected Republican, the DHS secretary, or anyone in the White House will even mention this horrific story, much less ask the salient public policy questions that Congress and the DHS must grapple with. Ken Cuccinelli, the acting USCIS director, seems to be the only member of government interested in highlighting these cases. Some questions that should be fodder for public hearings and debate over legislation, as well as changes in DHS policies, include:

What role do sanctuaries like Montgomery County play in incentivizing illegal aliens to come and remain in their jurisdictions undetected by law enforcement, and what can be done to correct this?

What role does the border crisis play in tying down agents doing processing so they can’t patrol the line and ensure that people who have already been deported, such as Palacios-Amaya, don’t return to the country?

What can be done about the endless cases of illegal aliens like Barrera-Navidad being ordered deported but never being deported?

Both parties, including the president, are now talking about “universal background checks,” red flag laws, assault weapons bans, and what can be done to avoid shootings. But why is there no discussion about what can be done to avoid keeping bad people in this country who don’t belong here? What about universal background checks on those coming to the border? Clearly, many are getting through without being thoroughly vetted in the rush to release anyone coming in with a child.

Also, what about the effort to push back against sanctuary cities? Last month, Montgomery County executive Marc Elrich signed an executive order directing county agencies never to ask about one’s immigration status nor cooperate with ICE. That is in direct defiance of the law requiring that illegal aliens not go undetected by law enforcement.

As Maryland and surrounding D.C.-area counties in Virginia become sanctuaries, it is also the area with the largest concentration of Salvadoran immigrants. This has attracted large groups of MS-13. In May, two MS-13 teens were charged with brutally dismembering a 14-year-old girl. They were arrested on murder charges the year before, but neighboring Prince George’s County, also a sanctuary, ignored an ICE detainer. In March, three MS-13 members who were settled in the area as “UAC” refugees were charged with a similar heinous murder.

In July, a Salvadoran illegal alien who was charged with child sex crimes and breaking into the home of the child was released by a liberal judge on just a $500 payment to the court. No thanks to the local law enforcement, ICE thankfully caught up with the perpetrator and apprehended him.

Our immigration laws are designed to ensure that not a single immigrant is a charge to Americans – on criminal grounds, health grounds, or financial grounds. Yet we have endless cases of illegal criminal aliens remaining in the country indefinitely to harm us. Why is there no full-court press by any Republicans – from the president to the Senate majority leader – on a safety and security agenda focusing on the bad people, not objects? That begins with bad people of other countries who can be removed.

As I wrote in my book, Stolen Sovereignty, even before federal immigration laws were on the books, the State Department regulated prospective immigrants.

Writing to a diplomat in Switzerland in December 1881, James Blaine, secretary of state for President Chester Arthur, expressed the following commonsense principle on immigration held by every great American leader—from our Founders until fairly recently: “While, under the Constitution and the laws, this country is open to the honest and the industrious immigrant, it has no room outside of its prisons or almshouses for depraved and incorrigible criminals or hopelessly dependent paupers who may have become a pest or burden, or both, to their own country.”

What has happened to our values on immigration? Why is it too much to ask that we know who comes into this country? (For more from the author of “2 Illegal Aliens Accused of Raping 11-Year-Old Girl in Sanctuary City” please click HERE)

The Media Needs a Serious Reality Check on Immigration, Welfare, and the Reality of American History

/0 Comments/in , /by

The following is an excerpt from Blaze Media’s daily Capitol Hill Brief email newsletter:

Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced an updated rule to better screen out potential welfare users from immigration applications. Later in the week, the media tried to misrepresent what USCIS acting Director Ken Cucinelli said in defense of that rule.

Cucinelli said that the poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty was written about people coming from class-based societies that didn’t have the social mobility of a free society like the United States. The media and members of the 2020 Democratic field twisted that to say he was saying that the sentiment of the poem only applied to Europeans, which is a lie. You can watch the full video of what the acting director said here.

“Let us now review what has transpired over the past 24 hours or so,” the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh writes. “A Trump immigration official answered a question on NPR. The media lied about the question and his answer. That official then went on CNN to clarify, and the media lied about his clarification.”

And here’s the thing about that poem on the base of the Statue of Liberty, “The New Colossus”: At the time when it was written, it was widely understood that incoming immigrants should not be a financial burden on the United States. The law even stipulated that the cost of sending public charges back would be “borne by the owners of the vessels in which they came.” But, then again, history is often complex; political smears and platitudes about it are easy.

Ilhan Omar’s and Rashida Tlaib’s Israel-Bashing Just Got Them Barred From Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two Democratic House freshmen who have repeatedly come under criticism for anti-Semitic statements will not be allowed to enter Israel for an upcoming visit, Israeli government officials said Thursday.

Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely confirmed that the country would would deny entry to Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar, Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, Mich., based on their support of the anti-Israel BDS movement.

“Israel has decided — we won’t enable the members of Congress to enter the country,” Hotovely told the Israeli public broadcaster Kan. “We won’t allow those who deny our right to exist in this world to enter Israel. In principle this is a very justified decision.”

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are both supporters of the anti-Semitic BDS movement to boycott Israel. Tlaib even compared boycotts against Israel to boycotts against Nazi Germany from the House floor last month.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a statement shortly following the announcement that the pair’s planned visit’s “sole purpose is to strengthen the boycott and delegitimize Israel.” According to to the statement, because Omar and Tlaib billed their visit as a trip to Palestine, rather than Israel, and did not ask to meet with any Israeli officials, their “plan showed they only wanted to harm Israel.”

The move came hours after President Trump tweeted, “It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep.Tlaib to visit. They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds.”

Israeli law clearly states that people can be denied entry to the country if they or an organization they represent have called for a boycott against the country.

Last month, Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. said that Omar and Tlaib would be allowed into the country despite the law “out of respect for the U.S. Congress and the great alliance between Israel and America.”

Other Democrats were not happy about the Jewish state’s Thursday decision.

“Banning Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib from entering Israel and Palestine is a sign of enormous disrespect to these elected leaders, to the United States Congress, and to the principles of democracy,” Democratic 2020 hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vt., tweeted.

Another 2020 hopeful, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said before the announcement that barring the House freshmen entry “would be a shameful, unprecedented move.”

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., called the move “outrageous, regardless of their itinerary or views” and said that the action “reflects weakness, not strength.”

“No democratic society should fear an open debate,” stated Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “Many strong supporters of Israel will be deeply disappointed in this decision, which the Israeli government should reverse.” (For more from the author of “Ilhan Omar’s and Rashida Tlaib’s Israel-Bashing Just Got Them Barred From Israel” please click HERE)

The Same People Who Pushed Early Release for Gun Felons Now Want to Take Guns Without Due Process

/0 Comments/in , /by

For every person who fits the profile of the El Paso shooter, there are likely thousands who fit the profile of Maurice Hill, the man arrested for shooting six cops in north Philadelphia yesterday. Based on a quick look at court documents from Philadelphia and Delaware Counties, Hill has a rap sheet dating back to 2001 that includes charges for illegal gun possession, drugs, driving offenses, assault, burglary, theft, robbery, kidnapping, and attempted murder. However, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, he was only “convicted six times on charges that involved illegal possession of guns, drug dealing, and aggravated assault.”

Will there be any soul-searching trying to figure out why so many of these people wind up unconvinced, under-sentenced, and back on the streets? As the Inquirer put it, “his record would indicate, he does not like to go to prison. In 2008, he was convicted of escaping, fleeing from police, and resisting arrest. Along the way, he beat criminal charges on everything from kidnapping to attempted murder.”

Nope. Instead, they very people who have created the drive in the criminal justice system to let these people out of jail are pushing a war on guns for law-abiding people. Meanwhile, the criminals who illegally get guns every day in places like Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Chicago are never punished!

Most Americans understand that bad criminals do the most harm to public safety, not any single weapon or object. Yet the very people pushing a war on guns are the ones who support letting out dangerous criminal from prison. That begins with Lindsey Graham, who, as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is now teaming up with Richard Blumenthal to push a “red flag” bill stripping guns from people without due process, without addressing the issue of locking up the actual dangerous people with criminal records. This is the “lock up the guns and let the criminals out” approach.

On February 15, 2018, the day after the Parkland shooting, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a “criminal justice reform” bill in a vote of 16-5 with overwhelming bipartisan support. In addition to reducing mandatory minimums for hardened career gang members in federal prison, sections 104 and 105 of this bill would reduce the mandatory minimums for those charged with firearms violations during the course of drug offenses or other violent crimes. Crimes involving firearms were the third most common offense in the federal system in recent years.

Lindsey Graham, Richard Blumenthal, Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Kamala Harris, and the whole cast of characters pushing to strip gun rights without due process voted to release gun felons who were convicted after painstaking due process.

Ultimately, the final “First Step” act passed last December didn’t contain these provisions to reduce sentences for gun felons, but it did reduce sentences for repeat drug traffickers, who, in the federal system, are often gang members who commit gun violence but plead down to drug charges. Moreover, the final bill had back-end early release programs that allow career criminals, including gun felons, to get as much as one-third of their time converted to parole.

But let’s not forget that these people wanted to go much further, and if not for people like Sen. Tom Cotton forcing changes to the bill, they would have reduced sentencing for those using guns in furtherance of drug trafficking – the most violent gun felons around. Even former Attorney General Holder agreed that retroactivity should not apply to those who received a mandatory minimum sentence for a firearms offense pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 924(c) or an enhancement for possession of a dangerous weapon under the sentencing guidelines.

Yet Ivanka Trump, who is now working with people like Lindsey Graham to promote gun control, was one of the driving forces behind the jailbreak bill and is continuing to push even more ideas to loosen penalties on federal convicts, who are often the most violent gun felons in the criminal justice system.

Here’s the reality that Ms. Trump and Graham are ignoring. There have been 1,196 victims of mass shootings since 1966. That is 0.001 percent of the 928,093 homicide victims from 1966 to 2017. Everyone agrees that there is no guaranteed policy solution for potentially dangerous people who have no criminal record. This is why polls show only a third of voters think that any gun control measure could prevent these attacks.

However, most of the remaining homicides, which account for 99.99 percent of victims, are perpetrated by known career criminals. These are the murders that are totally avoidable with better deterrents and stronger punishment, not weaker punishment as Ivanka Trump and Lindsey Graham have advocated. This is doubly true for foreign national murderers who can and should be removed from the country, yet these same politicians support liberal immigration policies and not enforcing our existing laws.

Just in one year’s worth of ICE apprehensions, foreign nationals were convicted or arrested for 2,028 homicide offenses, 5,562 robberies, 11,766 weapons offenses, 50,753 assault charges, 76,585 dangerous drug charges, 80,730 DUIs, and over 12,000 sexual offenses. That was among a total of 542,798 criminal convictions and arrests accrued between these aliens. And remember, given that most illegal aliens live in sanctuary jurisdictions that don’t cooperate with ICE, this is likely a much smaller share of the total universe of alien criminality that exists because the feds never find out about many of these criminals before they are released.

Just one year of apprehensions nets over 2,000 arrests. And unlike mass shootings of first-timers, murders by criminal aliens are almost 100 percent avoidable. Nearly 11,000 people per year die from drunk driving accidents.

Just last week, a known gang member who was released in California under the very sort of programs pushed on a federal level by Lindsey Graham and Ivanka Trump killed four people with a knife. Under their approach of letting out bad gang members locked up on drug charges (as was the case here), while going after “assault” rifles, they would not only have missed this guy, but enabled him while potentially disarming future victims.

Republicans used to understand that guns don’t kill, but bad people kill, which is why they were for the Second Amendment while against letting out criminals. Now they are seeking to cast a wide net around constitutional rights for a broad population without due process as they release known criminals, including criminal aliens who could be deported, who absolutely had extremely thorough due process. That’s exactly what the Dukakis Democrats stood for. Now, if conservatives will allow the GOP to become the party of Lindsey Grahamnesty and Ivanka Trump, that will be what Republicans stand for as well.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Lawyers Say Hulking Ex-Cop Attacked Epstein, Epstein Was Not Suicidal; Lawyer for Victims Agrees; NYC Mayor Says Death Wasn’t Due to “Human Error”

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By NY Post. Jeffrey Epstein was confident he could fight the child sex trafficking charges against him and was in “great spirits” just hours before his jailhouse death on Saturday morning — even telling one of his lawyers, “I’ll see you Sunday,” The Post has learned.

The convicted pedophile also told his lawyers that the neck injuries he suffered in an earlier incident at the Metropolitan Correctional Center were inflicted by his hulking, ex-cop cellmate, which led the lawyers to request that he be taken off a suicide watch, according to a source familiar with Epstein’s case.

Epstein’s optimism behind bars — expressed during daily visits with his lawyers that lasted up to 12 hours each — was so great that it struck some of those around him as “delusional,” the source said.

“He thought he was going to win the double-jeopardy motion” that his defense lawyers were planning to file in connection with his 2008 Florida prostitution conviction, the source said. (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein’s Last Words to Lawyer Before His Jailhouse Death” HERE)

Attorney Who Represented Jeffrey Epstein Victims Says He Knew Him and Is ‘Not Convinced That He Took His Own Life’

By Newsweek. . .West Palm Beach attorney Spencer Kuvin represented three of the more than two dozen women who had brought civil complaints against the financier in 2008 and 2009.

He told BBC radio that he knew Epstein as a litigant and a defendant and had met him at numerous settlement conferences.

“I am still not convinced that ultimately he took his own life….I’m not convinced because I knew him as a vain man, a very intelligent man who was a person who always defended what he did, even in light of all the evidence against him,” he told Beyond Today.

“He basically took the position, that no matter how old these young girls were, that they chose to be with him and he didn’t care (about) their age.

“So someone like that, I just find it very hard to believe that he would take his own life,” he added. (Read more from “Attorney Who Represented Jeffrey Epstein Victims Says He Knew Him and Is ‘Not Convinced That He Took His Own Life'” HERE)

Bill de Blasio Calls Jeffrey Epstein’s Death ‘Way Too Convenient’

By Fox Business. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio joined a chorus of voices this week raising questions about Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged suicide, calling for a full, independent investigation into the convicted pedophile’s death — which he called “way too convenient.”

“The one thing I do not think is possible here is just pure traditional human error,” the Democratic presidential hopeful told FOX Business’ David Asman on Tuesday. “That’s the one thing I would rule out, given the prominence of the case and the nature of the situation. Which means something else happened. I don’t know what that something else is.” (Read more from “Bill de Blasio Calls Jeffrey Epstein’s Death ‘Way Too Convenient'” HERE)

Rudy Giuliani: Jeffrey Epstein death ‘completely incredible’

By Fox News. Speaking with intimate knowledge of the lockup where Jeffrey Epstein was held, ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says he considers the financier’s death perplexing.

Giuliani said Tuesday on “The Ingraham Angle” he knew the setup of the floor the convicted sex offender was held on and had been inside the facility at least 20 times in his former roles as a prosecutor and defense attorney.

“I don’t like conspiracy theories,” Giuliani told guest host Jesse Watters. “I don’t think we should engage in them yet because we need to know the facts, but the whole thing is completely incredible to me.” (Read more from “Rudy Giuliani: Jeffrey Epstein Death ‘Completely Incredible'” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein Was in ‘Great Spirits Before His Death and Thought He’d Be Bailed Out’, as It’s Claimed He Was Taken off Suicide Watch After Telling Lawyers Injuries from His ‘First Suicide Attempt’ Were Inflicted by Cellmate

By Daily Mail. Jeffrey Epstein was in ‘great spirits’ before his death in a New York jail last week and even believed he would be bailed out so he could cooperate with authorities, according to a source.

The pedophile met daily with lawyers at Metropolitan Correctional Center from around 8am for 12 hours and believed his legal team would win an appeal to get him bail on charges of child sex trafficking, according to an insider.

It was after he was taken off suicide watch and given his own cell, allegedly telling his lawyers that his accused murderer cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione had inflicted the neck injuries that were suspected of being marks from a July suicide attempt.

Shocker: Philly Shooter Reportedly Has Long Criminal History… and Illegally Possesses Guns

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. Gun control advocates have speculated about the gunman in Philadelphia who wounded six police officers on Wednesday. They were quick to assume that somehow America’s so-called “lax” gun laws were to blame for the man having access to a firearm. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the gunman is 36-year-old, Maurice Hill, who has a long criminal history of gun convictions, resisting arrest and drug dealing.

Hill was reportedly identified when an anonymous source told the Inquirer Hill’s lawyer, Shaka Mzee Johnson, received a phone call asking him to come to the apartment building he was barricaded in. . .

From the Inquirer:

Hill’s history in the adult criminal justice system began in 2001 when he was 18 and was arrested with a gun that had an altered serial number. . .

Hill also spent time in federal prison. In 2008, he pleaded guilty to federal firearms violations after he was caught with a Smith & Wesson .357 and later a Taurus PT .45 semiautomatic. His prior felony convictions should have barred him from owning those weapons. U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond sentenced him to four years and seven months in prison.
