Las Vegas Survivor Calls Rush Limbaugh, Reveals What People Are Missing

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On his show Tuesday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh took a call from a man who said he attended the concert in Las Vegas that became the scene of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The caller pointed out something many people have missed when discussing the tragedy.

The caller, who was identified as “Tim in Orange County, California,” said he attended the Route 91 Harvest Festival and witnessed good people coming together, not arguing over politics.

“Hey, I just want to let you know that I was at the concert over the weekend. I was there Friday, Saturday, and on Sunday. I was on ground close to Jason Aldean near a barrier, and I saw, you know, and felt the terrifying event. I’m shaken as I talk right now,” he said, according to Limbaugh’s website.

He continued: “But what I really wanted to say was, you know, to me it was good people that were there — black, white, Hispanic, Asian, you name it, good people enjoying a great time, great music. Not one time did I see somebody wearing a Trump hat. Not one time did I see anybody wearing a Trump shirt. We were just there having a good time.”

On Sunday night, suspected gunman Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire from his hotel window on attendees of the country music festival.

The attack resulted in at least 59 deaths and more than 500 injuries.

“You said you were there when the shooting began, and you didn’t see any Make America Great hats, there’s nobody talking about Trump, nobody talking about politics. It’s just a bunch of people enjoying the event, the music, whatever was going on. Is that pretty much right?” Limbaugh asked.

After Tim said he didn’t see any hats or shirts that said “Make America Great Again,” Limbaugh argued that not everything in life has to be political.

Tim explained that people were simply having a good time up until the tragic shooting.

“These are husbands and wives and sons and daughters and little kids at this concert that were being, you know, victimized by this maniac, but it’s not about politics,” he said.

According to Tim, the brave police officers who ran toward the gunfire without any protective gear to save innocent people were a good example of what men and women in law enforcement are really like.

“You know who was running in? Four police officers without tactical gear with their handguns and their rifles. They were running towards it. They didn’t know where the threat was, they could have been anywhere,” Tim said. “So I think people should rethink their stance, those that are anti-law enforcement.”

“And these guys were there to give their lives, and a lot of people at that concert did the same thing,” he added. “They’re just good-hearted people.”

Limbaugh asked Tim what prompted his call, and why he felt it was important to tell people that politics weren’t involved in the moments leading up to and during the tragic shooting.

“You know, the last two days have been kind of a blur, you know, and lack of sleep and just dealing with what I witnessed. But I did read a couple of articles — I don’t remember exactly where, where I had heard somebody referencing country fans, I think it was a comedian or two referencing the country fans as being Trump supporters, so in a way it wasn’t that big of a deal or we deserved it,” Tim replied.

He was possibly referring to Hayley Geftman-Gold, a CBS vice president and top senior counsel, who was fired on Monday after commenting on Facebook that she was “not even sympathetic” to the victims of the shooting because country music fans are often Republicans.

“Something to that effect. And it really, really bothered me. You know, I happen to be a Trump fan, but you know what? I love America first. It has nothing to do with politics for me, man,” Tim added.

“These are good people who did not deserve to get shot or terrorized and killed,” he added. “Simple as that.” (For more from the author of “Las Vegas Survivor Calls Rush Limbaugh, Reveals What People Are Missing” please click HERE)

Democrats Unveil Legislation in Response to Las Vegas Shooting

/0 Comments/in , /by

With the nation still coming to grips with the emotional impact of the Las Vegas shooting, for which a motive has not yet been established, Senate Democrats have already begun filing legislation.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., introduced a bill on Wednesday that would ban bump stocks.

Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms special agent Jill Snyder said Tuesday night that gunman Stephen Paddock had 12 bump stocks in his room.

Bump stocks allow a gun owner to convert a semi-automatic weapon into a fully automatic one.

“There’s no better way to honor the 59 people who were slaughtered than to take action,” Feinstein said, according to The Daily Beast.

“There is no legitimate reason or excuse in recreation or hunting for a bump-stock device,” added Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.

But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., made it clear that instant legislating was not on his mind.

“I think it’s particularly inappropriate to politicize an event like this,” McConnell said Tuesday, according to ABC News. “The investigation’s not even been completed. And I think it’s premature to be discussing legislative solutions if there are any.”

“In the meantime, our priority is on tax reform, as my colleagues have indicated,” McConnell said.

Republicans did say, however, that the issue was worth discussing, because a bump stock allows for a legal end run of the ban on fully automatic weapons.

“I think it’d be a good time to have a hearing,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told NBC News. “Just find out, ‘How does the technology work?’ and is there a legislative solution?”

Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., said he wanted to talk to gun manufacturers about making legal weapons incapable of being modified to become automatic weapons.

“One of the concerns that I have is the ability to manipulate a semi-automatic rifle and turn it into a fully automatic rifle,” Heller said. “There has to be a way to be able to stop this.” (For more from the author of “Democrats Unveil Legislation in Response to Las Vegas Shooting” please click HERE)

Michelle Obama: White House Is Too White

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former first lady Michelle Obama claims the Republican Party’s lack of diversity makes Americans distrust the political process.

During an on-stage interview at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women Tuesday, Obama shared why she thinks diversity is so important.

“We should be working actively to mix it up, so we’re getting a real broad range of perspectives on every issue. Shoot, I would see that in Congress,” she stated.

“At the State of the Union address… when you are in the room what you can see is this real dichotomy. It’s a feeling of color almost,” Obama said. “On one side of the room is literally gray and white. Literally, that is the color palette on one side of the room. On the other side of the room, there are yellows and blues and whites and greens. Physically, there’s a difference in color, in the tone, because on one side all men, all white, on the other side some woman, some people of color.”

“I look at that, and I go, no wonder. No wonder we struggle, no wonder people don’t trust politics. We’re not even noticing what these rooms look like,” she added. (Read more from “Michelle Obama: White House Is Too White” HERE)

GOP Senator Says These Trump Admin Officials Are Saving the Nation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker told reporters Wednesday that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, and White House chief of staff John Kelly “are those people that help separate our country from chaos.”

Sen. Corker, who was considered for Tillerson’s role, has recently grown critical of the administration. He said in August that Trump “has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful.”

The Tennessee senator’s comments Wednesday came after a question about an NBC report that Tillerson disparaged Trump in private and wanted to resign. Corker wouldn’t comment on the report. (Read more from “GOP Senator Says These Trump Admin Officials Are Saving the Nation” HERE)

CBS Fires Vice President Who Said Vegas Victims Didn’t Deserve Sympathy Because Country Music Fans ‘Often Are Republican’

/0 Comments/in , /by

CBS has parted ways with one of the company’s top lawyers after she said she was “not even sympathetic” to victims of the Las Vegas shooting because “country music fans often are Republican,” when discussing the mass shooting that unfolded in Las Vegas late Sunday night . . .

A CBS spokeswoman told Fox News that Geftman-Gold, “who was with us for approximately one year, violated the standards of our company and is no longer an employee of CBS. Her views as expressed on social media are deeply unacceptable to all of us at CBS. Our hearts go out to the victims in Las Vegas and their families.”

Geftman-Gold took to Facebook after a gunman opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas, killing at least 59 people and sending more than 510 others to hospitals.

“If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs [sic] will ever do the right thing,” Geftman-Gold wrote in a now-deleted message that was first reported and captured by The Daily Caller.

Geftman-Gold continued: “I’m actually not even sympathetic bc [sic] country music fans often are Republican gun toters [sic].” (Read more from “CBS Fires Vice President Who Said Vegas Victims Didn’t Deserve Sympathy Because Country Music Fans ‘Often Are Republican'” HERE)

Yahoo on Tuesday said that every single Yahoo account was affected by a data breach that took place in 2013.

In 2016, Yahoo disclosed that more than one billion of about three billion accounts had likely been affected by the hack. In its disclosure Tuesday, the company said all accounts were likely victimized.

Yahoo included the finding in a recent update to its Account Security Update page, saying that it found out about the wider breach through new intelligence obtained during the company’s integration into Verizon Communications. Outside forensic experts assisted in the discovery, the company said. (Read more from “Yahoo Just Said Every Single Account Was Affected by Hacking – 3 Billion in All” HERE)

Is Another Billionaire Businessman Considering a Presidential Run?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban said he is “considering” running for president of the United States in a new podcast posted on Tuesday.

In an interview on former Democratic South Carolina state representative Bakari Sellers’ podcast ViewPoint, Cuban said he is an “independent all the way through” who tries to remain informed and objective on issues.

Sellers noted that Cuban supported Hillary Clinton during her campaign against President Donald Trump in 2016 and asked if he would help Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections . . .

“Mark, are you considering running for president of the United States?” Sellers asked.

“Yes. Considering, yes,” Cuban said. “Ready to commit to it, no.” (Read more from “Is Another Billionaire Businessman Considering a Presidential Run?” HERE)

After Week of Worrying About Police Power, Liberals Now Wants Cops to Take Your Guns

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a monologue frequently interrupted by the comedy host being on the brink of tears, Kimmel condemned Republican lawmakers for letting the “gun lobby” take over America. He dismissed their offerings of prayers for the Las Vegas victims and suggested, “they should be praying for God to forgive them for letting the gun lobby run this country.”

All of this made for good viral material to influence the current gun debate. Liberals and Democrats are all behind Kimmel’s desire to act immediately on guns — yet, there is no real legislation that would have done a damn thing to stop the deadliest mass shooting in American history.

The current focus is stopping a bill that would remove restrictions on gun suppressors, an item the Las Vegas shooter did not use. Noted firearm expert Hillary Clinton has offered the theory that a silencer would have allowed the shooter to kill dozens with no one hearing him, apparently believing that a suppressor makes one of those dreaded assault rifles completely inaudible.

This notion does more to show liberal ignorance on guns than anything else. But this is the one issue where the Left is wanting immediate action on guns after Las Vegas — at least, as publicly stated.

Behind every liberal reaction to a shooting is the looming specter of gun confiscation. Kimmel even hinted at it with his comment that no one should own an M-16. (Read more from “After Week of Worrying About Police Power, Liberals Now Wants Cops to Take Your Guns” HERE)

Report: Obama Used IRS to Push Obamacare

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s no secret that the Internal Revenue Service was used as a political weapon by the Obama administration – just talk to any of the thousands of people affected by the agency’s obstruction of conservative, Christian and tea party organizations at the time Obama was seeking re-election.

Now, government documents have been obtained through a Judicial Watch lawsuit that show the scope of the abuse was much broader, including one revealing the White House used the IRS to pressure Americans to support Obamacare.

“So now we have more evidence of more Obama IRS abuses targeting innocent Americans – all in the name of Obamacare,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “No wonder it took a federal lawsuit and court order to get these documents – as they show the Obama White House and its agencies were happy to threaten and treat Americans like lab rats in order to bolster Obamacare.”

His organization announced Monday it has obtained two more batches of documents.

The documents, Judicial Watch said, show the Obama IRS “coordinated with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Obama White House Behavioral Sciences ‘Team’ in a $5 million program to pressure Americans to sign up for Obamacare.” (Read more from “Report: Obama Used IRS to Push Obamacare” HERE)

2 Lethal Traits of America’s Deadliest Mass Shooters

/0 Comments/in , /by

The motive behind the mass shooting in Las Vegas Sunday night has yet to be determined by authorities, though Democrats already are jumping on the gun-control bandwagon.

Over the last 20 years, the perpetrators of nearly all the deadliest mass shooting in the United States have shared one of two traits: Besides killing innocents with firearms, they either were Muslims or were using mind-altering psychiatric drugs.

Stephen Craig Paddock is alleged to have opened fire from a 32nd-floor hotel room on a crowd of more than 22,000 gathered for a country music festival Sunday night, killing at least 59 people and injuring at least 515 others, making it the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

The death toll surpassed the 49 killed last year in Orlando by Omar Mateen at the Pulse nightclub . . .

Paddock’s brother, Eric Paddock, revealed Monday that their father, Patrick Benjamin Paddock, was a bank robber who escaped prison and was on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. The elder Paddock was “diagnosed as psychopathic” and “reportedly had suicidal tendencies.” (Read more from “2 Lethal Traits of America’s Deadliest Mass Shooters” HERE)
