Brady Campaign Leaves Victims Out to Dry
"Never let a serious crisis go to waste," said Barack liar-nObama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel in 2009, borrowing the concept from leftist political rabble-rouser Saul Alinsky and his "Rules for Radicals." In fact, one could argue that this idea spurs on leftist activism. The unvarnished truth is that it's simply a devious way to take advantage of people when they're at their most vulnerable for the express purpose of furthering an agenda.
Such is the case in the sad story of the Philips family. In 2012, their daughter, Jessica Ghawi, was one of 12 people murdered in the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater by James Holmes. Experiencing this horrible tragedy would have many a grieving parent questioning laws and demanding answers. And following Emanuel's maxim, the anti-Second Amendment Brady Campaign didn't let a crisis go to waste. The Brady Campaign gave misleading advice to the Philips and encouraged them to file a lawsuit against Lucky Gunner, the gun store from which Holmes legally purchased his ammunition. We say misleading because the Brady Campaign was well aware of the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which was expressly designed to protect firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held responsible for the criminal actions of a third party.
After selling their home and belongings, the Philips lived in a camper and traveled the country advocating for the Brady Campaign's gun control measures. Essentially, they sold everything for the cause. Then the Philips experienced another personal and financial blow — the judge hearing the case threw it out, declaring their lawsuit frivolous, and he ordered that they pay Lucky Gunner's legal fees, a sum of over $200,000. That may seem harsh, but it's just and fair. The man to blame for the Philips' daughter's death is Holmes and Holmes alone, not the gun store, which processed its transactions legally.
The decent thing for the Brady Campaign to do would be to at least pay the Philips' legal fees. But that would be allowing another "crisis go to waste." Far better to promote the tragic story of a legal system bankrupting grieving parents, who were simply seeking justice for their daughter. Will the Brady Campaign, which took in $25 million in revenue in 2014-2015, do the right thing and fix a problem it created by exploiting this couple's grief and pain? Don't count on it. ~The Patriot Post

Criminal Democrats Get Away
With Crimes Because We Let Them
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Judge Jeanine Pirro leads off her opening statement by asking, “Why do we let them get away with it? They lie, cheat, violate the rules, then cover up, and they get away with it... We’re no longer a country where the law is equally applied.” “This nation,” she says, “conceived on the principle of equal rights and equal justice, is no longer true to its declaration of independence.” Noting that the FBI and DOJ colluded to obstruct justice on behalf of liar-Hillary and Bill liar-Clinton, says “We didn’t know how deep and how dirty the collusion really was until 48 hours ago.” She points to the lie issued deliberately by the FBI in response to a FOIA request by James Sekulow’s Center for American Law and Justice saying that no records “were located.” It did not state that they didn’t exist, although clearly that was the intended misinterpretation. It merely said that they hadn’t been able to locate any. Loretta Lynch’s DOJ “never even bothered to respond.”... http://rickwells.us/judge-jeanine-criminal-democrats-get-away-crimes-let/

China Slams North Korea
For Second Time In Two Days
by Jeff Dunetz
{lidblog.com} ~ It looks as if President Trump’s strategy is starting to work. China seems to be starting to work with the U.S. to push North Korea to stop its nuclear and ballistic missile program... Twice in two days, they slammed North Korea for its ballistic missile program. Of course, words and UNSC resolutions can be cheap we need to see the follow-up but it’s a good start. On Saturday the UN Security Council (UNSC) unanimously voted to sanction North Korea in retaliation for their recent intercontinental ballistic missile tests. The resolution written by the U.S. bans North Korean exports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead, lead ore and seafood. It also bans countries from increasing the number of North Korean laborers in their homelands and stops new joint ventures with North Korea and any new investments in existing ones. Both Russia and China which could have vetoed the resolution voted in favor of the sanctions... http://lidblog.com/china-slams-north-korea/.
'A declaration of war on freedom of speech'
by David Rosenberg
{israelnationalnews.com} ~ While the Communications Ministry’s announcement Sunday of its plans to ban the Al Jazeera network from Israel won the backing of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu... the decision to shutter the Jerusalem offices of the Qatari-based media outlet accused of promoting Islamist extremism has at least one Israeli organization up in arms. The Association for Civil Rights in Israel, a far-left organization which has often challenged Israeli security measures to defend citizens from Palestinian Authority terrorists, took aim Monday at Communications Minister Ayoub Kara’s announcement. On Sunday, Kara said that his ministry would work to protect freedom of the press, but would not permit media outlets to threaten Israel’s security, noting Al Jazeera’s role in promoting incitement against Israel following the July 14th terror attack which left two Israeli officers dead... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/233553?utm_source=activetrail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl.
UK's Flawed Solution to Prison
Radicalization – Terrorist Group Therapy
by Patrick Dunleavy
{investigativeproject.org} ~ While the most positive news in the war on Islamic terrorism has come from military successes against ISIS in Mosul and Syria, the overlooked recent failures by authorities to effectively deal with home grown Islamists is a cause for growing concern... Whether it is by downplaying the threat or attempting to come up with snappy-sounding strategies to deal with the growing list of suspected terrorists "known to the authorities," the West is struggling to reverse the tide of radicalization, particularly in the prison system. The latest example is the UK's plan to deal with imprisoned Islamic terrorists by creating "separation centers" that would "...have an individualized care and management plan which sets out realistic, achievable targets, while also taking into account the complex, ideological/political nature of some of the risks that need to be targeted." What a bunch of gobbledygook... https://www.investigativeproject.org/6479/uk-flawed-solution-to-prison-radicalizationby Patrick Dunleavy

McMaster’s Past Links To Soros,
Iran Support Makes Him Unfit For Trump
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ When President Trump nominated HR McMaster to be his National Security Adviser, RINO Senator John RINO-McCain issued a statement saying, “I have had the honor of knowing him for many years and he is a man of genuine intellect, character and ability... He knows how to succeed. I give President Trump great credit for this decision, as well as his national security cabinet choices. I could not imagine a better, more capable national security team that the one we have right now.” That should have been enough of a warning to President Trump that he would have removed him reversed himself immediately. Instead, he stuck with the globalist operative and has, as have those of us who have pinned our nation’s future on President Trump succeeding, been paying for it ever since. Aside from his attempts to de-Trump and de-Bannon the National Security Committee with firings and the embracing of liar-nObama deep state holdovers and his fellow globalists like his deputy, Dina Habib Powell, new evidence is coming to light about McMasters’ anti-America leanings...http://rickwells.us/mcmasters-past-links-to-soros-iran-support-makes-him-unfit-for-trump/.

Fake News: The DOJ and College Admission
Discrimination
By Michael Swartz: It's no secret that over the last few months fake news has reached a fever pitch in the DC swamp. One of the more blatant recent examples came this week when a New York Times reporter jumped on a leaked Justice Department hiring call for staff to conduct "investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions." To the Times writer, this meant that the "Trump administration is preparing to redirect resources of the Justice Department's civil rights division toward investigating and suing universities over affirmative action admissions policies deemed to discriminate against white applicants." The Washington Post quickly followed suit with the same assumption that this would benefit white students, and another piece of fake news was hot off the press.
In reality, the Justice Department mentioned no race in the call. But to maintain the illusion that the Trump administration caters to its "alt-right" racist supporters, these reporters just knew in their bones that the intent of the attorney general — that child of the pre-civil rights South, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III — was to return us to the days of Jim Crow. Those who make their living in the East Coast echo chamber not only took the bait but swallowed hook, line and sinker.
Thus, the next afternoon the Department had to come out with a clarification: "The posting sought volunteers to investigate one administrative complaint filed by a coalition of 64 Asian-American associations in May 2015 that the prior administration left unresolved. The complaint alleges racial discrimination against Asian-Americans in a university's admissions policy and practices."
So the "prior administration," which would be the one run by the supposedly progressive and colorblind Barack liar-nObama, allowed a case of alleged discrimination against a minority group to lie dormant for over a year and a half without resolution, but those cold, heartless racists in charge now are making a priority of addressing it? No wonder the Leftmedia can't report straight news anymore.
Certainly this group has a case, although leftists are more skeptical that Asian-Americans are victims. (One valid point made in The Atlantic: The term "Asian" encompasses as wide of a range of different cultures as the generic term "Latino," which is understood to cover such diverse backgrounds as Puerto Rican, Cuban, Mexican, and so forth.) The Left is also less likely to see Asians as a true minority group, even though their numbers bear out the fact that they are one. Perhaps it's because, as a group, their median income is over twice as high as black Americans and about 75% higher than the average Hispanic's.
Because Asians are less likely to be impoverished, leftist social justice warriors are free to remind us the Supreme Court is alright with a certain amount of discrimination in college admissions as long as the institutions don't resort to outright usage of numeric quotas in their efforts to promote "diversity" on campus. There are plenty of rich, privileged people on campus already so Asians fit right in with that group; we don't need any more of them, leftist logic goes.
Even so, the narrative will continue to be presented that Donald Trump's Justice Department only looks out for the interests of people who look like the president. (Granted, many believed the same thing about the last president but the mainstream media wasn't carrying the water to make them believers.)
Sadly, we have devolved to the point where the truth seemingly cannot be told about the president regardless of what he does: If he's on the side the media favors and does something detrimental to the nation, the spin machine is put on full throttle. It's how we get the leftist illusion of Barack liar-nObama being a scandal-free president. On the other hand, when a president like Trump or someone in his administration does something good for America like help out a long-standing friend and ally in Central Europe or make sure justice is served for all, as in this case, it's made out to be a completely different story.
If there's anything in this country we need to #Resist, it's the temptation to believe anything the media reports. This fake news, created from a leaked document not intended for public consumption in the first place and misinterpreted in the second, is just another reason not to buy what they're trying to sell.
