Another Court Shoots Down DC's Anti-Gun
Regulation
In a 2-1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit ruled against a District regulation that severely limited the ability of an individual to obtain a concealed carry permit. Judge Thomas Griffith wrote for the majority, "The good-reason law is necessarily a total ban on most D.C. residents' right to carry a gun in the face of ordinary self-defense needs. Bans on the ability of most citizens to exercise an enumerated right would have to flunk any judicial test."
John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center noted that just 124 DC residents currently have concealed carry permits. He said, "If DC were like the 42 right-to-carry states, they would have about 48,000 permits. Right now DC prevents the most vulnerable people, particularly poor blacks who live in high crime areas of DC, from having any hope of getting a permit for protection."
This is a definite win for Americans' Second Amendment rights, but it may be short-lived. The District could appeal to the full DC Circuit Court of 11 judges, seven of whom are Democrat appointees. If the full court were to take on the appeal, it would most likely signal the other judges' desire to reverse the three-judge panel's ruling. With the Ninth Circuit Court's decision to uphold San Diego's limit on concealed carry permits and the Supreme Court's refusal hear that appeal, a reversal by the full DC circuit might mean that SCOTUS would again refuse to entertain an appeal. However, if the decision holds, it would provide the circuit court split necessary for SCOTUS to take up the issue of concealed carry limits. Of course, there are a lot of assumptions here.
But not to get lost in possible future scenarios, this ruling is good news. It restores gun rights to residents of our nation's capital, which is common sense especially in light of the targeted attack by a crazed leftist on congressional Republicans. Those living within the District have just as much of a right to self-defense as those who live in Texas.

Smear Merchants FUSION GPS Now
Linked To CORRUPT Venezuelan Politicians
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ More reasons why Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson declared he’d be pleading the 5th Amendment rather than testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday... It does seem the more that is exposed about his dirty little business the more potential legal jeopardy he finds himself in. Not only did corrupt American politicians such as liar-Hilly Clinton and Jeb Bush utilize their services to collect dirt on President Trump as a candidate, they engage in the production of their crooked compilations internationally as well. We know that they were behind the fabricated and completely debunked Moscow dossier alleging perverse sexual encounters by Mr. Trump in 2013. Their fingerprints were also all over infamous Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and campaign staffers, a likely setup with Natalia Veselnitskaya and others. Now we learn there is more Fusion impropriety, involving corrupt Venezuelan officials...http://rickwells.us/smear-merchants-fusion-gps-linked-corrupt-venezuelan-politicians/.
ISIS in Oakland: ‘Redefine Terror,’
Kill 10,000, ‘Whole Bay Area Up in Flames’
by Trey Sanchez
{truthrevolt.org} ~ An Oakland man who wanted to “redefine terror” in the United States by killing 10,000 people was indicted on charges last Friday for providing material and personnel services to the Islamic State... The Department of Justice announced that Amer Sinan Alhaggagi, 22, “is alleged to have knowingly attempted to provide services and personnel to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), between July and November of 2016, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2339B. ISIS is a designated foreign terrorist organization. The indictment alleges that the services Alhaggagi attempted to provide included opening social media accounts for the use, benefit and promotion of ISIS, and that the personnel he provided was himself.” Besides expressing his willingness to blow himself up in a suicide mission, Alhaggagi planned to sell cocaine laced with rat poison at gay clubs in and around the Bay Area... http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/isis-oakland-redefine-terror-kill-10000-whole-bay-area-flames

What’s at Stake in the Senate’s
Last-Ditch Effort to Repeal liar-nObamacare
by Jarrett Stepman
{dailysignal.com} ~ The Senate narrowly voted in favor of a motion to proceed to debate the health care bill Tuesday, giving Republicans one chance to get something done before Congress likely goes on recess in mid-August... The Senate will continue to participate in what’s called a “vote-a-rama.” The vote-a-rama process was described at length by health care expert Christopher Jacobs at The Federalist, but in short, it is a grueling, head-spinning series of speeches and votes on amendments that may or may not make it into the final bill. Much can still change as the vote-a-rama unfolds... http://dailysignal.com/2017/07/26/whats-stake-senates-last-ditch-effort-repeal-obamacare?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTlRkaVl6STVOV015T0dZeSIsInQiOiI4M0NFM2RLT1BKcjFVUFRmWituK25WbjREemRxYVV0UUlKSGVHWDVURmhidk9UZUFlcEtoR0pyYmc0cytDNWdPY2pkaWZpOFFzb0E5VUY4THVFa1hpdU9KMWQzOU02N20wM0ZPdmFHelhxZTUzR1wvZytkRllwMzVSTDdLcTIya0cifQ%3D%3D.
Liberals’ Allegations of Treason
Against Don Jr. Fall Short
by Jarrett Stepman
{dailysignal.com} ~ Is it treason? This is the accusation some liberals and even legislators are throwing around regarding Donald Trump Jr.’s contact with a Russian lawyer who has a connection to the Kremlin... When a reporter recently asked about whether Trump Jr.’s attempt to obtain compromising information about the liar-Hillary Clinton campaign from the pro-Russian lawyer, The big question is whether Trump Jr. actually did anything illegal. Treason would, of course, be the most serious charge, but as a matter of law, it is extremely unlikely that anything he did would rise to the level of high treason against the United States... http://dailysignal.com/2017/07/26/liberals-allegations-treason-don-jr-fall-short/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTlRkaVl6STVOV015T0dZeSIsInQiOiI4M0NFM2RLT1BKcjFVUFRmWituK25WbjREemRxYVV0UUlKSGVHWDVURmhidk9UZUFlcEtoR0pyYmc0cytDNWdPY2pkaWZpOFFzb0E5VUY4THVFa1hpdU9KMWQzOU02N20wM0ZPdmFHelhxZTUzR1wvZytkRllwMzVSTDdLcTIya0cifQ%3D%3D.
Scaramucci Financial Data
Leaked To Politico – Calling FBI, DOJ
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci promised when he took his new position to make stopping leaks one of his first priorities... He’s fired one White House staffer so far, but now he’s got even more motivation than simply doing his job in service to President Trump and the nation. Somebody just made it personal. On Wednesday even Scaramucci announced that he will involve both the FBI and the Department of Justice in investigating the leaking of his financial disclosure statement filed with the Office of Government Ethics, something he described as a felony. He tweeted, “In light of the leak of my financial disclosure info, which is a felony, I will be contacting @FBI and the @TheJusticeDept.” He also tagged White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and added the hashtag #swamp... http://rickwells.us/scaramucci-financial-data-leaked-politico-calling-fbi-doj/.

{townhall.com} ~ Florida truck driver James Matthew Bradley isn't the mastermind of the human smuggling ring that led to the grisly deaths of 10 illegal immigrants in his rig, which authorities found at a San Antonio Walmart over the weekend.
He's just a cog in the machine.
Bradley may now face the death penalty for transporting up to 100 people crammed in the trailer of his 18-wheeler. But what about the open-borders overlords making a real killing off this insatiable racket?
I'm looking at you, America-bashing corruptocrats in Mexico.
For years, our nation has been subjected to endless complaints, race-baiting insults and vicious attacks by politicians south of the border.
Former Mexican President Felipe Calderon trashed our immigration laws on U.S. soil before the California state legislature.
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox dropped F-bombs at President Trump and millions of law-abiding Americans who support construction of an effective border wall.
Current Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto took to CNN's airwaves to bash U.S. citizens who support strong borders as "exclusionary and discriminatory." Last year, Nieto defiantly proclaimed at the United Nations that "there are no barriers that can stop either the movement of people or the fusion of cultures."
Meddling Mexican consular officials in the U.S. have lobbied aggressively from New York to Texas to California for mass amnesty, driver's licenses for illegal immigrants, discounted tuition for illegal immigrant students, and systematic sabotage of interior enforcement and deportation policies.
Armed incursions by the Mexican military have targeted our immigration enforcement agents for years. After vehemently denying a Mexican government helicopter fired on Border Patrol personnel in 2014, our "friends" were forced to admit the incident happened when Judicial Watch obtained homeland security documents detailing the attack near Sells, Arizona, on the Tohono O'Odham Indian Reservation. In fact, DHS records have tracked at least "300 documented incursions by Mexican military and law enforcement authorities onto U.S. soil since 2004" -- with few consequences for the foreign invaders.
When they're not busy trash-talking our laws, shooting at our first-line protectors or actively undermining our sovereignty, Mexican government bureaucrats are up to their eyeballs in narco-state corruption.
Please note that the federal criminal complaint in the San Antonio border death truck tragedy included the statement of one Mexican trafficking victim from Aguascalientes who told authorities he met a "smuggler linked to the Zetas" cartel at the Rio Grande, where they charged "11,000 Mexican pesos for protection and 1,500 Mexican pesos to cross by raft" before loading into Bradley's big rig of death. At the Walmart parking lot, a phalanx of six SUVs operated by the reputed Zetas-associated smugglers whisked away several groups of human chattel, who were marked with color-coded tape.
Yes, that would be the same Zetas cartel that has bought and paid for top Mexican politicians for years. Last summer, a former top financial operative for the gang testified at the federal trial of Marciano Millan Vasquez that "Millan and other Zetas leaders were able to smuggle drugs, kill with impunity and launder money through real estate and government contracts because they had bribed the personal aide of former Coahuila governor Humberto Moreira," according to the San Antonio Express-News.
Human rights watchdogs and border reporters left, right, and center -- from the Huffington Post to Breitbart Texas -- have exposed callous Mexican government officials selling out their own people while turning a blind eye to massacres, kidnappings, extortion and racketeering across the Mexican border states.
These usually mouthy Mexican leaders are now quiet as church mice about the latest casualties of open borders. Why? Because illegal immigration is the country's budgetary bonanza.
This spring, cash transfers to Mexico spiked 15 percent in March compared with the same period last year. Remittances, the majority of which are sent by immigrants working illegally in the U.S. to their Mexican relatives, topped $2.5 billion. That's the "third largest in U.S.-Mexico remittance history, after October 2008 ($2.6 billion) and May 2006 ($2.5 billion)," according to The Hill.
It's not just what's illicit, but what's licit, that explains Mexico's countenance of the mass abuse and enslavement of its own people. "No borders, no walls" means a Mexico that will never work hard enough to improve itself so that desperate people would rather pursue their dreams at home instead of stuffing themselves into sweltering death ovens on wheels.
And yet we're the ones accused of human rights violations and lack of compassion.
How do you say "chutzpah" in Spanish?
