Watch: Trump Threatens to Fight Black Lives Matter Protesters, and They Respond

/3 Comments/in , /by

Donald TrumpDonald Trump has laid down the gauntlet to Black Lives Matter and it looks like they are picking it up.

During a news conference Tuesday in Michigan, the 2016 Republican presidential front-runner called Democrat presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders “weak” and a “disgrace” for allowing two Black Lives Matter protesters to take his microphone from him at an event last week. He vowed that such a thing would never happen to him.

“I felt badly for him, but it showed that he’s weak,” Trump told reporters. “He’s getting the biggest crowds, and I’m getting the biggest crowds. We’re the two getting the crowds. But believe me, that’s not gonna happen to Trump” . . .

It didn’t take long for the troublemakers of the Black Lives Matter brigade to take to social media and accept the challenge.

Watch: Police Release Video Showing Moments Before Ferguson Shooting on Michael Brown Anniversary

/6 Comments/in , /by

downloadBy Phil Helsel. Police on Tuesday released surveillance video that they say shows a teenager appear to pull a weapon from his waistband before he was later shot and critically wounded by plainclothes police in Ferguson, Missouri.

The shooting of Tyrone Harris, 18, Sunday, on the anniversary of the death of Michael Brown, threatened to reignite racial tensions in the city that exploded in unrest after last year’s deadly shooting by a white police officer.

Harris is in critical condition. He is charged with four counts of assault on law enforcement, five counts of armed criminal action and one count of shooting at a motor vehicle.

The surveillance video, given to police by a local business, shows a panicked crowd running for cover and then a young man in a white T-shirt appearing to be holding gun running off screen and pointing the weapon. Police identified that man as Harris. The video appears to dispute some recent reports and witnesses who said Harris was not armed.

St. Louis County authorities declared a state of emergency Monday after Sunday’s violence. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said the police shooting took place after two separate groups in the vicinity had traded a “remarkable” amount of gunfire — between 40 and 50 shots. He said those involved were “criminals, not protesters” marking the anniversary of Brown’s death.

Heavily Armed ‘Oath Keepers’ Group in Ferguson

By CNN Wires. A day of civil disobedience that saw several arrests in Ferguson ended Monday with some rowdy protesters throwing rocks and bottles at police.

The St. Louis County police said frozen water bottles were thrown at officers, prompting them to order the crowd to disperse or face arrest.

“Safety, our top priority, is now compromised. This is no longer a peaceful protest. Participants are now unlawfully assembled,” the department tweeted

Police Chief Jon Belmar tried to deescalate the tension by speaking with some demonstrators, who then moved from the street to the sidewalks.

However, others were seething with anger as word spread that police had arrested a 12-year-old girl. Police contended she was 18, according to her ID. (Read more from this story HERE)

Watch: Ferguson Protesters Caught on Camera Chanting 4 Horrifying Words Just Before Shots Fired

/19 Comments/in , /by

RTR4FGPD-1024x682Protesters gathered in Ferguson on Sunday [and Monday] to mark the one year anniversary of the shooting death of Michael Brown. Among the crowd were those chanting some disturbing words.

CNN reports that hundreds gathered near the location where Michael Brown was killed in a confrontation with Officer Darren Wilson on August 9th, 2014.

In the crowd some chanted, “We’re ready for what? We’re ready for war.” The chants came minutes before a man identified to be in his late teens shot at Ferguson police officers shortly after 11pm.

The unnamed man unleashed a “remarkable amount of gunfire” against the officers, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. Plain clothes officers pursued him, exchanging fire and hitting him multiple times. He has been hospitalized and is reportedly in critical condition.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch identified him as Tyrone Harris, 18, a close friend of Brown’s.

“There is a small group of people who are intent on making sure we don’t have peace. That’s unfortunate,” Belmar said. “We can’t afford to have this kind of violence.” (Read more from “Watch: Ferguson Protesters Caught on Camera Chanting 4 Horrifying Words Just Before Shots Fired” HERE)

Iraq Vets Take on Obama Over Iran Deal

By Josh Rogin. A group of Iraq war veterans is launching a million-dollar effort to oppose President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, trying to counter the president’s argument that those who are against the deal are in favor of war.

Obama has said recently that there are only two camps: those who support the deal versus those who would prefer a bloody and costly war like the conflict in Iraq. The new ad campaign complicates that, asserting that the deal itself will lead to more war. And the voices putting forth that case do not prefer war; they are soldiers who have had enough of it.

The group, Veterans Against the Deal, was founded last month as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, and it does not disclose its donors. Its national campaign starts today, including television ads in states whose members of Congress are undecided on the Iran deal. Lawmakers will vote on it in September.

The first of the group’s videos features retired staff sergeant Robert Bartlett, who was badly injured by an Iranian bomb while serving in Iraq in 2005. “Every politician who is involved in this will be held accountable, they will have blood on their hands,” he says in the ad. “A vote for this deal means more money for Iranian terrorism. What do you think they are going to do when they get more money?”

The first ad will go up in Montana, aimed at Democratic Senator Jon Tester. Subsequent ads will air in North Dakota, West Virginia and elsewhere. The group will also send veterans to speak at events in key states. (Read more from this story HERE)

Watch This Viral Video of Black Women Defending Donald Trump, Giving Megyn Kelly a Piece of Their Minds

/5 Comments/in , /by

sddefaultBy Kyle Olson. It’s suffice to say there are at least two women who support Donald Trump for president.

A duo of black women — hosting a YouTube “show” called “The Viewers View” — eviscerated Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly for her questions related to Trump’s statements on Twitter concerning women.

Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson produced, “Megyn Kelly and that Damn Debate,” today:

“Okay, so it’s a day after the debates and you all know I am mad as hell,” Hardaway began. “Somebody already tried to come for Donald, so I’ve got to come for them.”

Hardaway objected to Kelly’s opening question to Trump, asking him to respond to comments he made on Twitter towards Rosie O’Donnell. (Read more from “Watch This Viral Video of Black Women Defending Donald Trump, Giving Megyn Kelly a Piece of Their Minds” HERE)

‘Mess With the Bull, You’re Going to Get the Horns, Sweetheart’: Trump Iowa Campaigner Says ‘Bloodgate’ Attack on Megyn Kelly Was ‘Fair Game’

By Kieran Corcoran. A Donald Trump official leading his political campaign in Iowa has said his attacks on Fox News host Megyn Kelly are ‘fair game’.

Tana Goertz, his campaign co-chair in the battleground state, said that she was not offended by Trump’s suggestion that Kelly asked him tough questions because there was ‘blood coming out of her wherever’.

Goertz instead said the abuse is part of political debate, saying: ‘If you mess with the bull you’re going to get the horns, sweetheart’.

Trump’s comments, made Friday night in a CNN segment where he also called her a ‘lightweight’ and ‘overrated’, were widely interpreted as a crude reference to Kelly’s menstrual cycle . . .

Goertz, whose association with Trump began when she appeared on season three of The Apprentice, told BuzzFeed News that she was ‘not offended’ by the statement, and does not think it is about her period. (Read more from this story HERE)

Watch: One Surprising Candidate Stood out in Fox News’ Focus Group in a BIG Way

/13 Comments/in , /by

gop150418102020-gop-field-2016-candidates-exlarge-169Mike Huckabee made believers out of members of a focus group watching Thursday’s Republican presidential debate.

“Huckabee surprised me,” said one woman in the 23-member group. “He was very articulate, very relatable. He made some very good points.”

Republican pollster Frank Luntz conducted the focus group, whose comments were aired Thursday night in a live post-debate “Kelly File.” When he asked the group to name the candidate who most surprised them, Huckabee’s was the first name mentioned.

“He brought a certain level of past history with him, a certain level of standing when he said ‘Reagan said trust but verify. Obama is trust but vilify,’” said one man in the group. In response to the praise for Huckabee, Luntz asked for a show of hands in support of Huckabee’s performance. Eighteen arms shot into the air.

The focus group’s embrace of Huckabee’s performance contracted with negative assessments of Donald Trump’s debate showing. Fourteen members of the group expressed a positive pre-debate opinion of Trump. Only three held that opinion afterwards.

“He sucked the wind right out of the room,” complained one member of the group. “All he did all night was point at himself and have no solutions for anything.”

“I liked him when I came in here because he wasn’t a politician,” said one man in the group. “But right now, he skirted around questions better than a lifelong politician ever had.”

Company Trying to Block Video That Could Prove Aborted Babies Were Born Alive, Then Harvested [+video]

/8 Comments/in , /by

By Steve Watson. The leader of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), the organization exposing Planned Parenthood, told CNN “New Day” this morning that a biomedical company is trying to silence CMP because they are “very scared” of footage coming out that will prove babies were born alive before being “aborted” and having tissue and organs harvested.

California based StemExpress, a company closely allied with Planned Parenthood that provides fetal tissue to researchers, has managed to convince a Superior Court judge to issue a temporary restraining order against CMP.

The order bars the undercover journalists from releasing any more footage of StemExpress officials.

David Daleiden explained why he believes StemExpress is taking such hefty action:

Investigator Says Stemxpress Bought Intact Intact Dead Babies From Planned Parenthood

By Austin Ruse. Undercover investigator David Daleiden tells CNN the reason StemExpress is trying to suppress the video he took of its CEO on May 22 is because the company doesn’t want anyone to know it bought whole intact dead babies from Planned Parenthood.

Daleiden said on CNN, “In a meeting with their top leadership, they admitted that they sometimes get fully intact fetuses shipped to their laboratory from the abortion clinics they work with, and that could be prima facie evidence of born alive infants. And so that’s why they’re trying to suppress that videotape and they’re very scared of it.”

On May 22, Daleiden and his team had lunch with StemExpress CEO Cate Dyer and other senior personnel from the company that is the main buyer of freshly killed baby parts from Planned Parenthood. As the Center for Medical Progress has released videos, four so far, it is certain that anyone who met with Daleiden, who was posing as CEO of a fictitious company called BioMax, would become worried about what they might have said. Apparently StemExpress talked about things that may shock America and any future stockholders of the as-yet privately held company. (Read more from this story HERE)

Watch: White House Doubles Down, Declares Support for Planned Parenthood Due to Its ‘High Ethical Standard’

/15 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: CNS News White House Spokesperson Josh Earnest says he suspects somebody in the Obama Administration has seen a series of videos on Planned Parenthood’s role in harvesting the organs of babies, but the administration is basing its position that the videos are edited unfairly on the comments of Planned Parenthood and “the high ethical standard they live up to.”

During a White House press briefing Thursday Earnest was asked if anyone at the White House has watched the series of videos about Planned Parenthood . . .

“Where are you getting your information that the fact that it’s fraudulent, or the fact that they’re distorted and edited unfairly?” a reporter asked.

“Based on the public comments of Planned Parenthood who has indicated that the views that are represented in the video are entirely inconsistent with that organizations policies and with the high ethical standard they live up to.” (Read more from “White House Declares Support for Planned Parenthood Due to Their ‘High Ethical Standard'” HERE)

University of Cincinnati Officer Indicted in Shooting Death of Driver [+video]

/0 Comments/in , /by

A University of Cincinnati police officer was indicted Wednesday on a murder charge in what a prosecutor called “a senseless, asinine shooting” during a minor traffic stop. It was the first time such a charge had been leveled against an officer in the city.

The Hamilton County prosecuting attorney, Joseph T. Deters, released a much-anticipated video of the shooting of Samuel DuBose, and described it as providing crucial evidence that the officer had lied about being dragged by DuBose’s car.

A grand jury, Deters announced, had indicted Officer Ray Tensing for murder, punishable by life in prison, and voluntary manslaughter.

“It was a senseless, asinine shooting,” Deters said at a news conference in Cincinnati, using stark terms to denounce the July 19 episode, Tensing’s statements about it, and the 25-year-old officer himself. “This office has probably reviewed upwards of 100 police shootings, and this is the first time we’ve thought, ‘This is without question a murder.’

“He wasn’t dealing with someone who was wanted for murder,” Deters said. “He was dealing with someone who didn’t have a front license plate. This was, in the vernacular, a pretty chicken-crap stop.” (Read more from “University of Cincinnati Officer Indicted in Shooting Death of Driver” HERE)

Obama: If I Ran for a Third Term, I’d Win [+video]

/5 Comments/in , /by

President Obama told the African Union Tuesday that he felt he had been a “pretty good” president and if he were allowed to run for a third term, he’d probably be victorious.

Obama made the remarks while criticizing leaders on the continent who wouldn’t step aside at the conclusion of their terms.

“Now, let me be honest with you,” Obama said. “I do not understand this. I am in my second term. It has been an extraordinary privilege for me to serve as the President of the United States. I cannot imagine a greater honor or a more interesting job. I love my work. But under our Constitution, I cannot run again” . . .

“I actually think I’m a pretty good president,” he said. “I think if I ran, I could win. But I can’t. So there’s a lot that I’d like to do to keep America moving, but the law is the law.” (Read more from “Obama: If I Ran for a Third Term, I’d Win” HERE)
