Enabling Murder

The Supreme Court's Gerrymandered Ruling
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-3 Monday that North Carolina's most recent redistricting in two congressional districts was driven by racial considerations. Justice Clarence Thomas joined the Court's four leftists, with the majority opinion written by Justice Elena Kagan. Virginia faces judicial review for 11 districts, and Alabama also saw some districts struck down in 2015.
USA Today, of all places, makes plain the predicament facing Southern states: "The Voting Rights Act of 1965 requires that states draw districts enabling African Americans to elect their chosen representatives, lest black voters be spread too thinly across district lines. Two decades ago, Democrats used the law to demand so-called 'majority-minority' districts. Since Republicans took over many state legislatures in 2010, they have drawn districts with what African American and Democratic critics claim are more blacks than necessary, in order to keep surrounding districts whiter — and more Republican. But the Supreme Court has knocked down several of those maps." In other words, Democrats wanted race-based voting districts until they didn't.
The Washington Examiner's David Freddoso adds that all eight justices (Neil Gorsuch sat out the vote after missing the arguments) agreed on one particular district. "The reason that even the dissenting justices concurred in this part of the decision is that state legislative leaders made the mistake of openly saying they were deliberately creating this district as a 51 percent black-majority district in order to get preclearance from the liar-nObama administration's Justice Department." Ironically, then, he points out, "The easiest way to violate Section Two of the Voting Rights Act is to try very hard to follow it."
Let's face it: Gerrymandering is a rather ugly part of partisan behavior. Both parties draw the lines to the best of their own advantage, and it's always been that way. But The Heritage Foundation's Hans von Spakovsky highlighted "the confused state of the law" when he said, "The Supreme Court says race can be a factor in redistricting but not the predominant factor, a rule that is so vague, so broad, and so lacking in a definable legal standard that it is not really a rule at all." And that's exactly the way Democrats want it so they can continue to slap Republicans with the "racist" label. ~The Patriot Post

GOP Lawmaker Asks for Memo Regarding
liar-Clinton-Lynch Meeting
by Martin Lioll
{conservativetribune.com} ~ Former FBI Director James Comey’s alleged memo on President Donald Trump and Michael Flynn is all the talk in Washington right now. However, a major GOP legislator just requested another batch of Comey’s memos... and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch isn’t going to be happy. According to The Daily Caller, Texas. Rep. Pete Sessions said that in addition to the alleged memo involving the president’s request to drop the investigation against former National Security Advisor Flynn, he also wants Comey to turn over all memos relating to Lynch’s infamous tarmac meeting with former President Bill liar-Clinton last summer. “If The New York Times has Comey’s memo that means we’re going to be able to see it and I would assume that would be fair... http://conservativetribune.com/loretta-lynch-nightmare-lifetime/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=PostUp&utm_campaign=CTDailyEmail&utm_content=2017-05-23.

Today, John Brennan completely contradicted the March 20th, 2017, testimony of former FBI Director James Comey... We have previously drawn attention to a particular part of former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony to congress from March 20th.

The Inconvenient Truth about Democrats
and Racial Hypocrisy
by Jeff Dunetz
{lidblog.com} ~ Did you know that the Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, founded the KKK, and fought against every major civil rights act in U.S. history?... The Democrats want you to forget that Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican Party president, or that it was the southern Democrats who were saying “slow down” to the Civil Rights legislation, or even that it was Sen. Strom Thurmond, then a Democrat, who unsuccessfully tried to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1957. But the Civil rights act of 1964 was filibustered by Democrats. The bill came before the full Senate for debate on March 30, 1964 and the “Southern Bloc” of southern Senators led by Richard Russell (D-GA) launched a filibuster to prevent its passage... http://lidblog.com/democrats-racial-hypocrisy/

CIA Sought FBI Probe Into Russian
Targeting of Trump Campaign
by Bill Gertz
{freebeacon.com} ~ Former CIA Director John Brennan told a House hearing on Tuesday the CIA first asked the FBI last summer to investigate contacts between Russian intelligence officials and Americans in the Trump campaign... Skirting concerns involving classified information, John Brennan, President liar-nObama's CIA chief, provided few details on the intelligence related to Russian recruitment attempts against Trump aides, who he described as "U.S. persons." Asked if there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, Brennan said he did not know. But he said Russian intelligence was actively seeking to suborn Americans and that a number of contacts had taken place with campaign officials... http://freebeacon.com/politics/cia-sought-fbi-probe-russian-targeting-trump-campaign/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=1b9d4a5e96-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_05_23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-1b9d4a5e96-45611665

China Killed US Agents; Crippled
US Spying from 2010-2012
by Alice Greene
{punchingbagpost.com} ~ Spying in China is one of the CIA’s top priorities, but the communist nation’s complex security apparatus makes it exceptionally difficult for American spy services to develop sources there... According to a New York Times report published on Saturday, China killed or imprisoned 18-20 CIA informants between 2010 and 2012. These killings systematically dismantled US spying operations in China and represent a massive intelligence breach that is as bad or worse than the Aldrich Ames fiasco in the late 80’s and 90’s...http://punchingbagpost.com/nyt-china-killed-us-agents-crippled-us-spying-from-2010-2012

Enabling Murder
by Bruce Bawer
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Damn these jihadist murderers of children. And damn the politicians who have, in many cases, helped make these murders possible but who are quick, this time and every time, to serve up empty declarations of "solidarity" even as the bodies of innocents are still being counted.
London mayor Sadiq Khan who recently dismissed terrorist attacks as "part and parcel of living in a big city": "London stands with Manchester." Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer who, in the wake of the Pulse nightclub massacre, proclaimed a CAIR-backed "Muslim Women's Day"-you know, the kind of event that proclaims hijabs "empowering": Orlando "stands in solidarity with the people of the UK." L.A. mayor Eric Garcetti who went berserk when Trump tried to impose that temporary travel ban from a half-dozen Muslim countries: "Los Angeles stands with the people of Manchester."
Meaningless words, all of them. But Angela Merkel takes the cake: "People in the UK can rest assured that Germany stands shoulder to shoulder with them." Well, isn't that . . . reassuring. In what way do such words help anybody to "rest assured" of anything?
In any case, how dare she? This, after all, is the woman who opened the floodgates-the woman who, out of some twisted sense of German historical guilt, put European children in danger by inviting into the continent masses of unvetted people from the very part of the world where this monstrous evil has its roots.
Then there was this from European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker: "Once again, terrorism has sought to instill fear where there should be joy, to sow division where young people and families should be coming together in celebration." Beneath the innocuous-seeming surface of this statement is a slick rhetorical ruse: Juncker to the contrary, these savages aren't out to "sow division"-they're out to kill infidels.
By introducing the concept of "division," Juncker, like so many others, is implying that the important message here is: Hey, whatever you do, don't let this little episode put any bad thoughts about Islam into your head!
Manchester City Council leader Sir Richard Leese also spoke of "fear" and "division": "Manchester is a proud, strong city and we will not allow terrorists who seek to sow fear and division to achieve their aims." Guess what, pal? They did achieve their aims: they killed 22 people, including children, and injured several dozen. Dead infidels: that's their objective, period. Or, as you would say, full stop.
Naturally, Manchester's mayor, Andy Burnham, put out a statement. Burnham, as it happens, is a radical socialist who has wrung his hands for years about Islamophobia and has fought tooth and nail against a nationwide "anti-extremism" program called Prevent on the grounds that it "singles out one community for different treatment." After yesterday's atrocity, Burnham said: "We are grieving today, but we are strong."
Strong? No, Mr. Burnham, you are anything but strong. You are cowards, all of you. You are more scared of being called bigots than of the prospect of children under your official protection being slaughtered by jihadists.
Three-quarters of a century ago, Britain stood shoulder to shoulder in true solidarity while under violent assault by the diabolical ideology of Nazism. Today, its leaders speak of the same kind of solidarity-but it's nothing but talk
In Rotherham, gangs of Muslim men sexually abused 1,400 girls-and police and other officials who knew about it did nothing for years lest they be accused of racism or Islamophobia.
Almost certainly, similar mass-scale rapes are still occurring right now in other British cities, with similar silence and inaction on the part of pusillanimous authorities.
Today, British leaders refuse to deport imams who preach murder but ban from their shores respected writers and knowledgeable critics of Islam who dare to take on those imams and their theology.
Strength? Don't you dare speak of strength. You have the blood of innocent children on your hands.
