Rep. Steve Knight Confronts Protester During Immigration Discussion

By Veronica Rocha. A new video shows U.S. Rep. Steve Knight (R-Palmdale) confronting a protester during a discussion about immigration.

The heated confrontation occurred Friday outside Knight’s district office in Simi Valley, where a group holding “Stop illegal immigration” signs had gathered during an open house event. The entire encounter was filmed and a video was later posted to YouTube.

A protester, who called himself “Mike,” approached Knight, shook his hand and said, “You told me you didn’t vote amnesty and you did. I looked it up on the Internet. You lied to me.” He then patted Knight on the arm.

As the protester walked away, Knight approached him and said, “If you touch me again, I’ll drop your a**.” (Read more from this story HERE)

Rand Paul Keeps Saying That a Secret Scandal Will Wreck Hillary Clinton ‘Soon’ [+video]

In a speech yesterday to the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul made his third oblique reference to a scandal that—according to him—will grievously wound Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

“You ever hear ’em ask Hillary Clinton, this money she’s getting, whether it influences her decisions?” said Paul, referring to media questions about donors to the Clinton family’s charitable organizations. “There’s going to be stuff coming out about the Clinton Foundation and their donations from different companies that get special approval from the Secretary of State. Coming out in the next couple of weeks.”

Paul had debuted this theory on April 7, in the interview he gave Fox News’s Sean Hannity right after his announcement. “She’s in charge of approving business deals as secretary of state,” Paul said of Clinton. “They’re called CFIAs, anything that relates to our security. There’s going to be something coming out in the next few weeks about companies that she approved deals for.”

“That they were against, and then they became for after money went to the foundation?” asked Hannity.

“Significant amounts, over $100 million being given to her foundation coming out in the next two weeks,” said Paul. (Read more from “Rand Paul Keeps Saying That a Secret Scandal Will Wreck Hillary Clinton ‘Soon'” HERE)

We’re Not Seeing More Police Shootings, Just More News Coverage [+video]

/2 Comments/in , /by

download (1)It feels like every week, a name is added to the list: another man, often black and unarmed, has died at the hands of police.

The headlines make it feel as if the country is experiencing an unprecedented wave of police violence, but experts say that isn’t the case. We’re just seeing more mainstream media coverage, and for a variety of reasons.

Let’s be clear: That’s just each expert’s sense of things. We rely on hunches because real numbers don’t exist, likely because no one thought it important to keep a tally until recently.

Chat with a publisher or editor at one of the country’s African-American newspapers, and she or he can tell you they’ve been covering these cases for a long time . . . .

“What is being exposed nationally is something that’s been troubling us in Philadelphia as African-Americans,” he said. “Yes, we have written about it. We’ve talked about it. This is the African-American experience, and for some reason non-African-Americans don’t believe it.” (Read more from “We’re Not Seeing More Police Shootings, Just More News Coverage” HERE)

Here’s the Horrible Thing That Happened to a Veteran After She Tried to Stop Protesters From Disrespecting the American Flag [+video]

Michelle Manhart saw a group of students at Valdosta State University in Georgia yesterday who were walking on the American flag in some sort of protest.

Manhart, an Air Force veteran of 14 years, couldn’t let that stand. She went over and took the flag from the group to properly dispose of it per the United States flag code. University police officers then placed Manhart in handcuffs and returned the flag to the protestors who put the flag back onto the ground and continued to walk on it . . .

Neither the group protesting or the officers decided to press charges against Manhart and after being cuffed and detained she was ultimately allowed to leave.

No one is quite sure what the group was protesting and none talked to local media except one anonymous protestor who talked to The Valdosta Times saying, “The flag is a symbol of our protest. When a slave understands his situation and understands he doesn’t want to be in slavery, he does not respect or revere anything his slavemaster [sic] has put in front of him.” (Read more from “Here’s the Horrible Thing That Happened to a Veteran After She Tried to Stop Protesters From Disrespecting the American Flag [+video]” HERE)

Watch: 72-Year-Old Southern Grannie Goes on a Tear Against ‘Modern Women’ and Lazy, Welfare Recipients

/7 Comments/in , /by

welfareA video of an elderly woman with a thick southern drawl ranting about modern women, lazy men, and people who receive welfare is going viral.

Mother Agnus, as the man behind the camera called her, is full of “old” and traditional values, and she strongly believes that men should work while women should raise families:

“I’ve been working since I was 7, I’ve been raising children since I was 5. I’ve been cooking since I was 4 and a half. These women today, all they know about is McDonald’s and fast food. They ain’t know nothing ‘bout cooking and feeding no man. A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, get your behind in there and cook! Feed him, and make sure he gets up off his butt and go to work.”

Mother Agnus goes on to say that “women don’t even raise their children, their children are raising them”:

“Now they may not like me for saying it, but the women today, they don’t even raise their children—their children raising them! A woman’s place is to raise their children and at the end of the day tell their father which one they almost had to kill.”

Police Shoot Pregnant Woman in Stomach With AR-15 [+video]

/17 Comments/in , /by

downloadThe footage in this story shows the fatal shooting of Jeanetta Riley. Riley, 35, was killed by Sandpoint, Idaho police after they were called to a hospital where she had been treated for mental health problems.

The department has cleared its officers “of any criminal wrongdoing,” claiming that they followed all proper procedures when they chose to use an AR-15 rifle on the mentally ill, pregnant woman who was holding a knife.

The officers could have used less-than-lethal weapons, like a taser, but instead they chose not only a firearm, but an AR-15 when they approached her outside of Bonner General Hospital.

The police can be heard on the video telling Riley to show her hands . . .

She does not charge or approach the officers. They clearly are in no immediate danger. They clearly had no need to shoot at that point, and were far enough away that they had time to react to any true aggressive moves by the woman . . . [T]hey just killed her with an automatic weapon designed for wartime use. All that, and the cop had the weapon set for an auto three round burst, not even just single shots.

The Right Finds a Fresh Voice on Same-Sex Marriage [+video]

Another day, another town. Ryan T. Anderson, the conservative movement’s fresh-faced, millennial, Ivy League-educated spokesman against same-sex marriage, has another busy schedule.

There is an interview with conservative talk radio, a debate with a liberal professor at the University of Colorado’s law school and, after that, a lecture to Catholic students eager to hear Anderson’s view that the Constitution does not require that marriage be “redefined” to include same-sex couples.

The Supreme Court will soon be deciding just that question. And Anderson, a 33-year-old scholar at the Heritage Foundation, has emerged as a leading voice for those who resent being labeled hopelessly old-fashioned — or, worse, bigoted — for believing that marriage should be only between a man and a woman. . .

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. cited his work twice in his dissent from the court’s opinion in United States v. Windsor, which struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Anderson is becoming a prominent face of the opposition in news media appearances. . .

Anderson contends that he does not need to prove that his view of marriage is the correct one, only that the Constitution permits states to endorse it. “We’re having a national conversation about this, and that shouldn’t be short-circuited by the Supreme Court,” he says. . .

planned parenthoodThis is so disturbing to watch.

Live Action has gone into different Planned Parenthood facilities in Virginia, New York, and New Jersey and all of them were willing to aid sex traffickers in getting abortions for their child sex slaves, with one even telling them where to go to get a secret abortion for a minor under the age of 14.

12-Year-Old Owns Al Sharpton: ‘You’re a Waste of Human Flesh’ [+video]

/3 Comments/in , /by

12-year-old-owns-al-sharpton-youCJ Pearson, a young black conservative making a name for himself online, has a message for Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the nation’s other professional race baiters: “If you really care about black people, you would empower black people.”

“You’re only in this business to make money, to achieve fame,” the young man says. “But we don’t want you, Al. We don’t want you, Jesse Jackson. We don’t want any of you because you’re not for us, and you’re not right.”

Pearson goes on to chide Sharpton, Jackson, et al. for characterizing tragedies such as the murder of Walter Scott as racially motivated when the events should be universally recognized as miscarriages of justice.

Watch the full monologue:

Meet the Man Who Will Be the First to Undergo Head-To-Body Transplant [+video]

/1 Comment/in , /by

manDoctors seem to be a step closer to performing a breakthrough surgery: transplanting a human head onto another body. A Russian man with a rare genetic muscle-wasting disorder has volunteered to be the first to try the procedure.

“I’m very interested in technology, and anything progressive that might change people’s lives for the better,” Valery Spiridonov from the Russian city of Vladimir, told RT.

Spiridonov, a 30-year-old qualified computer scientist, works for an IT firm.

He said that his disease is getting worse every year, and usually people with Werdnig-Hoffman disorder – a disease that wastes muscles – don’t live longer than 20 years, so it would be a chance to prolong his life and help scientific research in the process.

“Doing this isn’t only an excellent opportunity for me, but will also create a scientific basis for future generations, no matter what the actual outcome of the surgery is,” he said. (Read more from “Meet the Man Who Will Be the First to Undergo Head-To-Body Transplant [+video]” HERE)
