MSNBC Guest Calls for Literal Mob of Pitchforks and Torches Outside Trump Donor’s Home

/0 Comments/in , /by

Earlier this week Rep. Joaquin Castro in Texas “named and shamed” San Antonio supporters of President Donald J. Trump in what he says was an effort to get these Americans to think twice before being “complicit in white supremacy.” Anybody with common sense understood the move was dangerous, especially coming from a public official, as it could paint a target on these individuals’ backs regardless if the information was already public or not. On MSNBC Thursday night, guest Elie Mystal took the hysteria over supporting President Trump one step further, saying that protesters should form literal mobs outside the SoulCycle and Equinox chairman’s home in the Hamptons due to his support for the commander-in-chief.

“People of color are already targeted under this administration,” Mystal said Thursday night regarding Rep. Castro’s actions. “I have no problem with shining the light back on the donors who fund this kind of racialized hate.”

“I mean I go further, I want pitchforks and torches outside [Stephen Ross’] house in the Hamptons,” Mystal continued. “I’ve been to the Hamptons, it’s very nice. There’s no reason why it has to be. There’s no reason he should be able to have a nice little party. There’s no reason why people shouldn’t be able to be outside of his house and making their voices peacefully understood.” . . .

“Demonstrating, totally…There have been peaceful protests outside Mitch McConnell’s house,” Hayes added. “And I imagine there will be peaceful protests outside of this…It is all speech, right? Peaceful protest. The right to the assembly under the First Amendment.” (Read more from “MSNBC Guest Calls for Literal Mob of Pitchforks and Torches Outside Trump Donor’s Home” HERE)

Black Republican Candidate Has PROOF That Liberals Aren’t Tolerant

/0 Comments/in , /by

Daniel Cameron, a black Kentucky Republican running for attorney general, shared that he was the target of a liberal lawyer’s racial slur this past week.

In an interview with Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade Thursday night, Cameron questioned whether the Democrats can really claim to be the party of “tolerance,” considering they can’t accept minorities who decide to become Republicans. For Cameron’s part, he was proud to have joined the GOP at the age of 18. . .

Yet, we saw a similar example of intolerance in Kansas last week, when progressive activist Elizabeth Arnold accused the state GOP of recruiting congressional candidate Sara Hart Weir because of her looks. Weir was surprised by the claim, because she was under the impression she had jumped in the race to unseat Rep. Sharice Davids, not to participate in a beauty pageant.

People like Weir and Cameron are Republicans because they believe in the party’s ideals. And they are pursuing higher office because they have the experience to do so. (Read more from “Black Republican Candidate Has Proof That Liberals Aren’t Tolerant” HERE)

Texas to Loosen Gun Restrictions in Wake of El Paso Shooting

/0 Comments/in , /by

Texas will loosen their restrictions on guns with ten new Republican-backed laws set to take effect in September. The Lone Star State, which has some of the most lax gun laws in the country already, will loosen restrictions on guns in places of worship, apartment complexes, foster homes, and schools.

USA Today reported on some of the soon-to-be in effect laws:

House Bill 1143 prevents school districts from prohibiting employees and other visitors at school campuses to store firearms in locked vehicles.

House Bill 2363 lets foster parents possess firearms “in a safe and secure matter … for personal protection purposes.”

Senate Bill 535 will reduce penalties for people who carry guns at “churches, synagogues or other places of worship” that prohibit firearms. …The bill treats places of worship in the same way private businesses are treated: They can still post signs prohibiting firearms, but will reduce penalties for people who unknowingly carry.

Is Trump Headed for a Post-Shooting Gun Control Fight with the NRA?

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump talked up the prospect of new background check legislation Friday morning but still says that he wants gun rights groups like the NRA to have a say.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House, the president said that “we need intelligent background checks,” and that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is “totally on board” with the issue. Two days earlier, Trump discussed the potential to “bring up background checks like we’ve never had before.”

The day before, McConnell said on a Kentucky radio program that gun control will be “one of the front and center issues” when the Senate comes back to Washington from summer break in September. “What we can’t do is fail to pass something,” the senator also said. “The urgency of this is not lost on any of us.”

However, Trump also said in a tweet earlier that morning that he wants to make sure to get input from gun rights groups like the National Rifle Association.

“Serious discussions are taking place between House and Senate leadership on meaningful Background Checks,” the president tweeted. “I have also been speaking to the NRA, and others, so that their very strong views can be fully represented and respected.”

The NRA, however, came out against new background check laws the day before, noting more background checks wouldn’t have prevented either suspect in the recent Dayton and El Paso shootings from obtaining firearms.

‘Poor Kids Are Just as Bright and Just as Talented as White Kids’: Biden’s Bad Day at the Fair

/0 Comments/in , /by

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

Out on the campaign trail, Democrats have descended upon the Iowa State Fair, but front-runner Joe Biden didn’t have the best day on the midway.

He was hounded about using the debunked “very fine people” smear about Charlottesville against President Donald Trump; he was also hounded about whether or not he would call the president a white supremacist. He didn’t; he just eventually settled on saying Trump “encourages” white supremacists.

But it didn’t stop there for the gaffe-prone former VP. He apparently slipped up and told a crowd that “we choose truth over facts.” And to top it all off after a day of campaigning among the rides and food stands, Biden went to a town hall event where he said, “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

How much the last gaffe will hurt Biden — who has been running from his past statements against school busing and remarks on Senate segregationists — among Democrats remains to be seen. It’s safe to say, however, that this was probably not the performance his campaign was hoping for.

DOJ Files Petition That Could Strip Federal Immigration Judges’ Union of Bargaining Power

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice is asking for a determination on whether or not federal immigration judges can legally be part of a union in a petition filed to a federal employment board on Friday.

Under federal law, federal employees can form and join bargaining units — i.e., unions — but not if they are “management officials” who are by definition “employed by an agency in a position the duties and responsibilities of which require or authorize the individual to formulate, determine, or influence the policies of the agency,” a DOJ fact sheet says.

A DOJ spokesman told Blaze Media Friday afternoon that the department is asking the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) whether the bargaining certification for the National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ) “as the exclusive representative for the bargaining unit of immigration judges, should be revoked because the bargaining unit members are management officials under the statutory definition.”

U.S. immigration courts and judges are under the authority of the Department of Justice, rather than the judicial branch, through the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR). NAIJ is the union that represents 420 of America’s federal immigration judges.

Previously, the NAIJ has pushed back on a 2018 plan to impose quotas and deadlines on judges in response to the courts’ case backlog amid a massive backlog of immigration cases. More recently, the union has lobbied Congress to break its members away from the DOJ oversight.

The DOJ says that the move was to ensure that the department’s employment practices are in line with federal law

“The role and importance of immigration judges in meeting the Department’s mission and determining or influencing its immigration policies have greatly evolved over the past several years,” the DOJ spokesman told Blaze Media via email. “In recognition of that evolution, including changes in the law, the Department of Justice believes appropriate action is necessary to update EOIR’s workforce relations in conformity with the law and to continue to further the Department’s mission.”

From here, the FRLA is expected to open an investigation into the matter with input from both parties, the spokesman added.

This news follows months after the Department of Justice issued a different regulation aimed at streamlining the immigration courts. The rule cemented and codified the attorney general’s power to make binding rulings on immigration cases, in order to make the courts “as efficient or as effective through the process as possible,” a DOJ official said in July.

Trump Lashes out at Gay Shepard Smith, Says Fake News CNN Is Better, OANN Is Best

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump on Wednesday renewed his criticism of Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, arguing that “Fake News CNN is better” and saying that he now tunes in to the conservative news outlet One America News Network whenever he gets the chance.

“Watching Fake News CNN is better than watching Shepard Smith, the lowest rated show on @FoxNews,” Trump tweeted on a day when he visited first responders and survivors of mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. “Actually, whenever possible, I turn to [One America News Network]!”

It was not immediately clear what Trump’s tweet — which came during Smith’s daily program and while Trump was aboard Air Force One to El Paso — was referencing. . .

Trump has repeatedly denounced the media during his presidency, often referring to it as “fake news” and the “enemy of the people.” But he has consistently praised Fox News and network hosts such as Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. He has taken a different view of Smith, though. . .

Smith has consistently taken a critical view of Trump during his two-plus years in the White House. Among other things, he fact-checked Trump’s prime-time address on border security in January during his daily news program.

Report: Mueller May Have Lied to Congress

/0 Comments/in , /by

Congressional Republicans say Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller may have lied during his testimony before the House Intel and Judiciary Committees last month, and a new report shows there is evidence to back up the claim. . .

Reporter Paul Sperry provided newly-released court documents indicating that Mueller might have made his brief press conference in May “as damage control after a federal judge privately threatened to hold his team in criminal contempt of court over what she called misleading language in his final report about Russian government interference in the 2016 election.”

Indeed, the day before Mueller made his public appearance on May 29, Judge Dabney Friedrich scolded the special counsel for implying that accused “trolling” firms run by Russian citizens were linked to the Russian government without providing evidence for such a link. . .

During Mueller’s press conference he emphasized that the indicted Russians were “private” entities. According to RealClear Investigations, that apparently satisfied Friedrich. The judge wrote in a July 1 opinion “that Meuller had ‘demonstrated’ the government had complied with her order with his statements to the media.” . . .

McClintock told RealClearInvestigations of Meuller’s answer, “It certainly doesn’t pass the smell test,” adding “If he lied, he’s guilty of perjury and lying to Congress. I think this would be of interest to the U.S. attorney investigating misconduct in this matter and the inspector general’s office.” (Read more from “Report: Mueller May Have Lied to Congress” HERE)
