Kaepernick's Real Anti-Cop Bias
by Culture Beat: In an attempt to gin up a positive vibe for the man responsible for starting the NFL’s National Anthem kneeling protests, unemployed quarterback Colin Kaepernick has touted his philanthropic acumen by pledging to donate $1 million to charitable organizations. However, it appears that Kaepernick’s judgement of worthy charities is as misguided as his evaluation of American society and law enforcement in particular. The Washington Times reports that Kaepernick has donated $25,000 to an organization called Assata’s Daughters — an organization named in honor of the cop-killing terrorist Assata Shakur.
by Culture Beat: In an attempt to gin up a positive vibe for the man responsible for starting the NFL’s National Anthem kneeling protests, unemployed quarterback Colin Kaepernick has touted his philanthropic acumen by pledging to donate $1 million to charitable organizations. However, it appears that Kaepernick’s judgement of worthy charities is as misguided as his evaluation of American society and law enforcement in particular. The Washington Times reports that Kaepernick has donated $25,000 to an organization called Assata’s Daughters — an organization named in honor of the cop-killing terrorist Assata Shakur. Shakur, a member of the domestic terrorist organization Black Liberation Army, was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1973 shooting death of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster and sentenced to life in prison. In 1979, she escaped prison and fled to Cuba where she was granted asylum and remains to this day.
Assata’s Daughters was founded in 2015 with a mission to “develop and train young people, ages 4-19, in the Black queer feminist tradition and in the spirit of Assata.” If you’re wondering if Kaepernick’s choice of organization is merely an honest accident, then look no further than his congratulatory birthday tweet to Shakur this past July. (The leftist Women’s March did the same thing.) It is increasingly evident that Kaepernick has neither love for America nor for those who willingly stand to protect its citizens. That’s why other NFL players following his lead is even more offensive. ~The Patriot Post

Michelle liar-nObama – America First Is Foreign To Snowflake Minds That Only Know “Her Husband”
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Former First Dudette Michelle liar-nObama spoke on Tuesday before a group of gender-biased leftists at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women... She had a message for the libtards who had no better sense than to waste their money listening to her babble. She told them that many young people only know life under her husband’s pretend presidency and that the snowflakes might have trouble digesting today’s situation. Somebody needs to create them a portable safe zone and when they’re emotionally strong enough, hand them a copy of the Constitution. Today’s reality is not what the re-education institutions that liar-nObama and the anti-America academics of the left have made a cornerstone of their indoctrination programs. It’s patriotism and putting one’s nation first as other nations of the world do, concepts they probably never imagined even existed with Hussein liar-nObama running our country down every time he opened his mouth. We’re supposed to be a third world and Islamic dumping ground and our wealth belongs to the world. Most young people are indoctrinated into that belief system thanks to her husband and the Soros network... https://rickwells.us/michelle-obama-america-first-foreign/.
Palestinians: A State Within a State?
Hezbollah and Hamas must be laughing their heads off as,
under weak and impotent governments, t
hey see their power grow
by Khaled Abu Toameh
{gatestoneinstitute.org} The latest "reconciliation" deal between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas brings the Palestinians closer to creating a state-within-a-state in the Gaza Strip... The PA and Hamas will now have two separate mini-states of their own in the Gaza Strip. This arrangement is similar to the situation in Lebanon, where Hezbollah maintains a separate mini-state of its own there. Hamas and Mahmoud Abbas's Palestinian Authority are now headed, willingly or unwillingly, towards plunging the Palestinians into a similar scenario as in Lebanon. The "reconciliation" accord they reached in Cairo paves the way for creating a mini-state within a mini-state in the Gaza Strip. These two "states" will be added to the mini-Palestinian Authority "state" that already exists in parts of the West Bank... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11111/palestinians-state-within-state.
Mysterious DHS Towers In NYC – Are
These Radiation Detectors?
by Aaron Kesel
{activistpost.com Mysterious metal towers have appeared popping up at local tunnels, and soon they’ll start appearing at bridges, too... but the authorities aren’t stating what they are. Could these be radiation detection devices? New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced a transformational plan to re-imagine New York’s crossings for the 21st century which includes deploying cutting-edge technology and security personnel to high-profile crossings in New York to enhance public safety and fortify anti-terror efforts, a press release stated. The strange metallic towers are part of a $100 million MTA outline called the New York Crossings Project shrouded in secrecy, with 18 of them planned for tunnels and bridges across New York. Even people on the MTA board in charge of the towers can’t say why they’re being used or what’s in them, CBS2 reported... https://www.https://www.activistpost.com/2017/10/mysterious-dhs-towers-nyc-radiation-detectors.html?utm_source=Activist+Post+Subscribers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=82c004460a-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_b0c7fb76bd-82c004460a-387888649/2017/10/mysterious-dhs-towers-nyc-radiation-detectors.html?utm_source=Activist+Post+Subscribers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=82c004460a-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_b0c7fb76bd-82c004460a-387888649.
Tom Cotton: Trump Should Not Recertify Iran
Nuclear Deal Even if Tehran is in Compliance
by Natalie Johnson
{reebeacon.com} ~ Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) on Tuesday said President Donald Trump should deny certification of the Iran nuclear accord when it comes up for renewal later this month... regardless of whether or not Tehran is in technical compliance, given its failure to prevent a nuclear Iran. "Even if they were complying with it—even if it was fully verifiable they were complying with it, which it's not and which they aren't, it is still not in our viable national security interests because it does not block Iran's path to a bomb," Cotton said in an evening address before the Council on Foreign Relations. Cotton, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, stopped short of calling for a complete withdrawal from the accord. Instead, he urged a renegotiation and pledged to work with lawmakers to "begin the work of strengthening it and counteracting Iranian aggression with the threat of sanctions and military action, if necessary."... http://freebeacon.com/national-security/tom-cotton-trump-not-recertify-iran-nuclear-deal-even-tehran-compliance/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=0f4e28c8b1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_10_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-0f4e28c8b1-45611665.
liar-nObama Plant Judge Expected To Declare
Trump Arpaio Pardon Unconstitutional, Create Crisis
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ It was an liar-nObama judicial activist, so-called Judge, Susan Bolton, who conducted the original kangaroo court hearing in which she virtually lynched Sheriff Joe Arpaio... Evidence indicates that Bolton is now ready to follow in the footsteps of other liar-nObama and liar-Clinton planted globalist operatives in black and pretend to be a higher authority than the President of the United States. She is poised to attempt to usurp his pardon authority. Just as liar-nObama’s Hawaii choom buddy, “Judge” Derrick Watson declared he had authority over the President in immigration and national security matters, this pissant in Phoenix says she dictates whether or not the President’s pardon powers outlined in the Constitution actually exist in the manner stated... https://rickwells.us/obama-judge-trump-arpaio-pardon/.

Math, History and Tax Reform
{townhall.com} ~ In school, I liked math the least and history the most. Both can be useful in the coming debate over President Trump's proposed tax reforms.
The one thing I learned in math class is that if the formula is wrong, the answer will be wrong. In history class, I learned we are not the first people to occupy the planet and that the experiences of those who came before us can be helpful when considering contemporary issues.
There is another formula which, when tried, has succeeded. It worked for John F. Kennedy, who cut taxes; ditto for Ronald Reagan yes, he also raised taxes, but by then economic growth was such that they did not have a negative effect.
And it worked for Calvin Coolidge whose philosophy, life and presidency have much to teach us today, but those addicted to government need to go to rehab to break their reliance on Washington and improve their lives.
In Robert Sobel's biography, "Coolidge: An American Enigma," these quotes from the 30th president are highlighted: "I am convinced that the larger incomes of the country would actually yield more revenue to the government if the basis of taxation were scientifically revised downward."
Then there is this Coolidgeism: "I want the people of America to be able to work less for the government and more for themselves. I want them to have the rewards of their own industry. That is the chief meaning of freedom. Until we can re-establish a condition under which the earnings of the people can be kept by the people, we are bound to suffer a very distinct curtailment of our liberty."
About public debt, which has just passed $20 trillion and would have appalled him, Coolidge said: "Public debt is a burden on all the people." Coolidge left office with a surplus.
Senate Minority Leader Charles clown-Schumer (D-NY) has brought out the familiar liberal playbook, demonizing the "rich" and claiming they will benefit most from any tax cut. People who have acquired their wealth honestly through hard work and wise decisions should be role models, not demonized as if they have stolen from others.
President Trump should start reading the indecipherable tax code aloud at public events and say, "This is what your Congress has done to you." He should bring people on stage to tell their stories of how high taxes have harmed, even ruined, their businesses. These should include people who have lost family farms handed down through generations because of the estate, or "death tax," which forced them to sell the land in order to pay the government.
Public testimonies can be more effective than debating economic philosophy.
Washington always assumes we aren't sending it enough of the money we earn. President Trump should say we are going to start telling Washington how much of our money we intend to let them spend.
The left hasn't had a new economic idea in 70 years. Its old idea of more taxation and spending is the wrong formula, and it's producing harmful results. History can show us a better way. We can start with Coolidge.
