Media Pounces on Edited Video of Ilhan Omar’s Comments Against White Men — but the Unedited Version Is Worse

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A viral video of comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is being criticized by the left and the media because it was unfairly edited, but the unedited version is arguably worse.

The edited video appears to show Omar advocating for increased surveillance on white males in the United States rather than Muslims because they are a greater threat.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was among those who shared the video, adding, “I am sure the media will now hound every Democrat to denounce this statement as racist. Right?”

. . .

Many criticized Rubio for posting an edited video that misrepresented her full remarks. In the unedited version, she adds the hypothetical “if fear were the driving force” to her statement.

“And so if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country, we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men,” she says in the unedited version.

Border Patrol Official Makes Stunning Claim About U.S. Citizen Detained by CBP

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Brian Hastings, Chief of Law Enforcement at the U.S. Border Patrol, made a stunning claim on Thursday about the U.S. citizen who was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for three weeks, saying that the individual never claimed to be an American.

Hastings remark came in response to a question from Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) about the detained U.S. citizen, Francisco Erwin Galicia, during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on some of the Trump administration’s policies on the border.

“I can give you some preliminary: the individual came through the Falfurrias checkpoint, he came through with the other illegal aliens, the individual claimed to be a Mexican national who was born in Reynosa, Mexico,” Hastings said. “Throughout the process, and while he was with Border Patrol, he claimed to be a citizen of Mexico with no immigration documents to be in or remain in the U.S.”

“Upon further investigation, we also found he had a border crossing card and that border crossing card he had used 53 times to cross the border into the U.S. which gives us further indication that he was not a U.S. citizen,” Hastings continued. “At no time in Border Patrol custody did he say that he was a U.S. citizen.”

WATCH: Baltimore Resident Confirms Trump’s ‘Racist’ Claims About the City

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. President Donald Trump chided Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) on Saturday for shouting down acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan over conditions in detention camps during a hearing last week.

While all of Cummings’ so-called “accomplishments” look great to the Democratic Party, one of his residents, Michelle, completely agrees with what President Trump said.

“What he [President Trump] said was definitely true,” Michelle said in a video. “He [Cummings] hasn’t done anything for us for the last, I think he’s been in office over 20 years?”

Trump is right about Baltimore — and the Democrats know it

By New York Post. . .Predictably, the Left—including most of cable news—rushed to condemn Trump as a racist. Speaker Nancy Pelosi — whose father was once mayor of Baltimore — called Cummings “a beloved leader in Baltimore, and deeply valued colleague. We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership.” Senator Elizabeth Warren tweeted, “Donald Trump’s tweets are ugly and racist.” Beto O’Rourke called him “the most openly racist president we’ve had in modern history.” Senator Bernie Sanders chimed in, too.

The operative rule in politics these days seems to be that any criticism of a non-white politician from anywhere to their right is, by definition, a racist attack. Nothing Trump said pertained in any way to Elijah Cummings’s skin color or ethnicity, only to his failure as a legislator and political leader to do anything to improve his district. The real question is: Is he right? . . .

By any measure of systemic urban collapse, Baltimore is, as Trump said “very dangerous & filthy.” Among the largest 30 American cities, Baltimore has the highest crime rate, and is a close second to Detroit for the highest rate of violent crime. But for murders, Baltimore is second to no other city, with more than 50 homicides per 100,000 people. That puts Charm City in the ranks of Jamaica, Venezuela, and El Salvador in terms of lethality. . .

Some have suggested that it’s unfair for the president to blame Elijah Cummings for his district’s woes, since congressmen don’t control local issues like trash pickup or law enforcement. But Cummings is a Democratic powerbroker in Baltimore, which has been run by a succession of failed mayors—one of whom stole gift cards meant for poor children, and another who “sold” thousands of copies of her unreadable book to the public hospital system. Local state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby is credited with bungling the investigation into the death of Freddie Gray. Cummings is an integral part of a corrupt, dysfunctional political machine that is directly responsible for Baltimore’s misery.

Watch: Dramatic Footage as CNN Crew Is Caught Between Police and Protesters in Violent Clash

/0 Comments/in , /by

A CNN crew [was] covering the ongoing Hong Kong protests, which have more than once proved violent over the months. On Friday, thousands took over an airport, clad in black, and tensions escalated quickly.

CNN correspondent Anna Coren was on scene at the airport, clad in protective gear, when fears of violence turned to the reality of it, and she and her crew were right in the middle. . .

“Let me tell you what is happening. We have just been charged by riot police, up the escalator, into the train station, this is absolute mayhem,” she said. “They have just come at the protesters, wielding batons, spraying pepper spray. It is pandemonium inside here.”

“I have no idea how they are planning to disperse these crowds. It is absolute chaos,” she said. “Absolutely chaotic scene. I have never witnessed anything quite like this, where there was a peaceful, peaceful demonstration inside. These protesters, they are not trashing anything, all they were doing is standing here. They were being pushed on. Then all of sudden these riot police charged.”

Dramatic footage, dramatic description, and a months-long environment of dozens more such scenes as the pro-democracy protests continue to result in confrontations with authorities in Hong Kong.

Snatched! Government ‘Illegally’ Takes Child From Parents (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Texas Home School Coalition Association has launched a petition drive and a fundraiser to help return 4-year-old Drake Pardo to his parents. . .

The family was given no explanation when the boy was seized, and CPS agents refused to answer their questions. The agents simply showed up at the family’s home, accompanied by armed officers, and demanded the child.

THSC attorney Chris Branson, representing the family, said Children’s Medical Center in Dallas reported the family to CPS after the family filed a complaint against the hospital claiming Drake received poor treatment. . . .

“Children’s informed the family that they would review the matter and resolve it within 45 days. On day 46, with the family still having heard nothing from the Children’s Medical Center, CPS showed up at the family’s door with an affidavit signed by one of the hospital’s doctors and removed Drake,” the homeschool group said.
.

But in the first hearing after Drake was taken from his family, Dr. Dakil testified that she had never seen or met with Drake or his parents (Read more from “Snatched! Government ‘Illegally’ Takes Child From Parents” HERE)

Watch: Sen. Bernie Sanders Trashed ‘Third World’ Baltimore Years Before Trump Did

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Before diving into issues like Sanders’ Medicare-for-all plan, [CNN’s Jake] Tapper asked the senator and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate about President Trump’s recent remarks regarding Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) and the city of Baltimore:

TAPPER: I know you want to talk about issues, but I do also want to talk about what President Trump said about your former colleague in the House Elijah Cummings and his district being “a disgusting rat and rodent infested mess that no human being would want to live in.” What’s your response?

SANDERS: Jake, it’s unbelievable that we have a president of the United States who attacks American cities, who attacks Americans, who attacks somebody who’s a friend of mine. Elijah Cummings is one of the most decent and outstanding members of the House of Representatives. He fights every day to improve life in his community.

. . .

Also on Sunday, the official “Trump War Room” Twitter account released a video from 2015 in which Sen. Sanders disparages West Baltimore:

But anyone who took the walk that we took around this neighborhood would not think you’re in a wealthy nation; you would think that you were in a Third World country. … But today, what we’re talking about is a community in which half of the people don’t have jobs. We’re talking about a community in which there are hundreds of buildings that are uninhabitable. We’re talking about a community where kids are unable to go to schools that are decent.

WATCH: Ridiculous Michael Moore Reveals Who Could ‘Beat Trump’, but They’re Not Running

/0 Comments/in , /by

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore said Thursday night there is not a single person among the more than two dozen Democratic presidential candidates that inspires the base of the party enough to beat President Trump in 2020.

“We have to have a beloved American running, not a professional politician,” he told “Late Night” host Seth Meyers. “You’ve got to have someone who inspires the base. The base, here, of the Democratic Party, are women, people of color, and young adults between 18-35. That’s 70 percent of who’s going to vote next year.” . . .

“You couldn’t wait to get to the polls… Who are you going to say that about of the 25 that are running? Right now, when you wake up a year from November, ‘I can’t wait to get to the polls so I can vote for… John Hickenlooper!'” he said jokingly. “Or ‘Joe Biden!’ I love Joe Biden… but we gotta win!”

The “safest candidate” in this election is not what will bring victory to the Democrats, he said, and would be a “huge mistake.” A Democratic “version” of Donald Trump is what’s needed, he argued.

“He’s a street fighter. We need a street fighter. That’s the only way you’re going to defeat him,” he said. “You’re going up against a bully.”

WATCH: Jerry Nadler Lies About Mueller’s Testimony, Vows to Pursue Impeachment

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler held a press conference Friday afternoon vowing to continue his pseudo impeachment inquiry into the Trump administration through the August recess.

“We are continuing an investigation of the president’s malfeasances,” Nadler said. “He [Mueller] told us that Donald Trump obstructed justice.” . . .

Nadler is lying about what Mueller said regarding obstruction. Mueller did not say Trump obstructed justice. In fact, he said the opposite.

WATCH: Pro-Life Group to Broadcast Live Abortion Footage on Massive Screen Outside Democratic Debates

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday and Wednesday, anti-abortion organization Created Equal will park their 12×17 foot JumboTron outside the Democratic debates in Detroit, Michigan.

Rather than use still imagery, Created Equal has decided to feature live abortion footage in order to show attendees the reality of the horrific procedures supported by the candidates.

The Daily Wire spoke with Mark Harrington, founder and president of Created Equal, about the event. Prior to reading further, check out one of the videos that the organization has used in the past:

According to Harrington, while Created Equal has used the 12×17 foot screen before on college campuses and at other events, this is the first time video footage will be used outside of a major Democratic debate. . .

In November 2016, while distributing literature and holding posters featuring images of aborted fetuses on public property outside of a high school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, activists were confronted by principal Carlton Mable. When he realized that he was being filmed, Mable became agitated, and when police arrived, he stated, “To me, I would consider all this pornographic. These pictures – this is pornographic to me.” (Read more from “Pro-Life Group to Broadcast Live Abortion Footage on Massive Screen Outside Democratic Debates” HERE)

Former Federal Prosecutor on Mueller: ‘He Clearly Did Not Run This Investigation’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

In my initial reactions post yesterday, I described what appeared to be knowledge gaps and cognitive shortcomings on the part of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Out of respect for his career of service and patriotism, I somewhat soft-pedaled these points. On my Fox News radio program last evening, however, longtime Assistant United States Attorney Andrew McCarthy was more candid. He said the proceedings made him viscerally sad, stating outright that after watching hours of testimony, he believes the venerable lawman was not in control of the investigation that bore his name:

McCarthy: I just think he didn’t know the investigation.

Benson: You really think there were other people calling the shots and pulling the strings?

McCarthy: I do, yes. I don’t think he could tell you what the OLC guidance was.

. . .

Mueller couldn’t, or wouldn’t, say who wrote the highly-scrutinized letter sent by his office to the Attorney General, effectively complaining that the narrative around Mueller’s findings were not to the special counsel’s liking. Barr’s summary of Mueller’s bottom-line findings were accurate, but it seemed as though Mueller wasn’t pleased with the flavor of how things were being framed in the press. The letter felt like a political act, especially because it leaked into the public eye — unlike basically anything else out of Muellerworld. In the clip above, the special counsel dodged on who actually wrote that seemingly politically-motivated missive, and could not cobble together an answer about the suspicious nature of the leak. I’ll just say that the ‘Mueller wasn’t really running the show’ theory became at least a bit more plausible to me in that exchange.
