 The Self-Perpetuating Cycle of Violence

Charlotte, North Carolina endured a second night of rioting after a crowd turned violent while protesting the police shooting of a black man on Tuesday. Rioting has become all too common when news of police shooting a black man hits the headlines. The interesting thing in Charlotte is that seemingly everyone involved in this current situation is black — from the officer who shot to the chief of police — and yet the excuse for justifying the rioting is still the same: "cops are racists."
          So how do so many people come to view those who commit crimes and resist police, or who riot and loot, as the victims, while declaring the villains to be those who pledge to enforce the law often at great personal risk? The answer lies in the fact that the Left has long peddled the narrative that law enforcement is inherently racist. Misleading statistics that depict a significant discrepancy in the percentage of whites versus blacks convicted of crime or in prison are provided as evidence to bolster the case that blacks are being unfairly targeted by law enforcement. The latest example of this was yesterday's Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling which concluded that black men have a legitimate reason to run from the police — fear of racism. The court cited a 2014 ACLU study that found 63% of those stopped by Boston's stop and frisk law were blacks, even though the black population in Boston sits at 24%. The charge was that the Boston police were "over policing" black neighborhoods. Boston Police Commissioner Bill Evans said that the ACLU study was "heavily tainted against the police department" and "didn't take into context who was stopped and why. That report clearly shows that we were targeting the individuals that were driving violence in the city and the hot spots."
          The court's ruling only serves to perpetuate the false narrative. The fact that blacks commit crimes at a higher rate is not due to the police. The idea that blaming the police for the poverty and high crime experienced within many poor, inner-city black neighborhoods is baseless. These rioters in Charlotte have been drinking the "cops are racists and I'm a victim" Kool-aid for their entire lives. Their race-hustling leaders have birthed a movement in Black Lives Matter that cares little for the truth and advocates outright racism as despicable as anything perpetrated by the KKK. Their message isn't reconciliation or responsibility or self-reliance but a message of victimhood, accusation and revenge. If the truth is not honestly confronted, preached and responded to, then this cycle of rioting and violence will only continue.

 The Staggering Cost of Immigration

The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine released a report laying out its findings from a study on immigration's impact on government expenditure. The findings of the study, which calculated the cost burden of both legal and illegal immigration, run counter to the oft repeated claims by Barack nObama and Democrats that the economic benefits of immigration far outweigh any negative cost. The study used eight different scenarios and found that the immigration burden experienced by federal, state and local governments cost anywhere from $43 billion to $296 billion per year.
          The report noted that in some of the scenarios the federal government's revenue in taxes did outweigh spending for benefit programs, but those same scenarios also witnessed state and local loses surpassing the total amount of federal government revenue. In other words, an overall loss. The report stated, "Fiscal impacts vary strongly by level of government. States and localities bear the burden of funding educational benefits enjoyed by immigrant and native children. The federal government transfers relatively little to individuals at young and working ages but collects much tax revenue from working-age immigrant and native-born workers."
          This report seems to support Donald Trump's assertion that immigration, specifically illegal immigration, is hurting the American worker. As the report states, "Although the extra labor causes the aggregate amount of output to rise, per-capita output — output divided by the new, higher number of people in the economy — initially declines."
          Another interesting highlight is the number of immigrants both legal and illegal that have entered the country since the turn of the century. From the year 2000 to 2014, more than 42.3 million people have immigrated to the U.S. — a number accounting for 13% of nation's entire population. Of the 42.3 million, it is estimated that approximately 11.1 million are illegal immigrants, with an average of 400,000 arriving each year. Immigration will only continue to grow as a problem as taxpayers are increasingly burdened with paying for more and more government benefit programs such as nObamaCare.  ~The Patriot Post.

Swift Override of nObama’s 9/11 Bill Veto

{reviveusa.com} ~ Congressional leaders of both parties have vowed a swift override of President nObama’s veto of a bill that would give families of victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks the ability to sue Saudi Arabia... which would be the first such reversal of Mr. nObama’s presidency. Mr. nObama said in his veto message Friday that he has “deep sympathy” for the families of the victims, but the bill would invite retaliatory lawsuits against U.S. personnel abroad and would weaken national security by allowing individual judges, instead of the executive branch, to designate foreign governments as sponsors of terrorism. The legislation “does not enhance the safety of Americans from terrorist attacks, and undermines core U.S. interests,” Mr. nObama said...  http://reviveusa.com/swift-override-obamas-911-bill-veto/

{rickwells.us} ~ Bret Baier starts off his interview with Rep Trey Gowdy (R-SC) with a clip of liar-Clinton propagandist and campaign manager Robby Mook explaining how the labeling of liar-Hillary Clinton’s email cover up as a cover up by a participant in the cover up didn’t mean it was really a cover up... Mook plays the role of stupid robot, repeating the nonsensical falsehoods that FBI Director Comey said liar-Clinton wasn’t guilty, that there was no case, that there was no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of liar-Clinton. Jake Tapper interjects as question, asking, “So what’s the liar-Hillary cover up operation the IT worker was referring to?” Mook then falls back to another Democrat standard, blame the Republicans as partisans for pointing out the crimes of Democrats. It was Pagliano, an employee of liar-Clinton that made the comment and it has nothing to do with the Republicans...  http://rickwells.us/gowdy-clinton-covered-mills-immunity/

{themuslimissue.wordpress.com} ~ The Islamic Movement in the U.S. continues their daily work of preparing for the coming battle at all levels of the society... From a military standpoint, the leaders of the American Muslim community are coalescing their forces and preparing strategically, operationally, and logistically for war. Going back to the early 1980’s, the jihadis set up an elaborate network of jihadi centers known in the U.S. as the Al Kifah Refugee Centers to recruit jihadis for the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan. Some of these over three dozen offices were operated by only a couple jihadis with a phone or fax machine, and some had a more sizable presence in the community. Nevertheless, they created nodes across the United States for jihadis in many American cities, and became centers for possible Al Qaeda recruitment in the future. For the last few decades the Pakistani terrorist organization known as Jamaat al Fuqra has been establishing jihadi training camps in the United States primarily among black Muslims, many of whom were recruited in prison. Known in the U.S. as “Muslims of America” or “MOA,” approximately two dozen of the three dozen known camps appear to be operational today...I wonder if the FBI are watching them?  https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2016/09/26/islamic-movement-in-u-s-preparing-for-battle/

{aim.org} ~ The wave of Muslim refugee terror began with a bomb targeting a U.S. Marine charity run in New Jersey. By evening a pressure cooker full of shrapnel has exploded outside a Manhattan building for the blind... An hour later, a rampaging Muslim terrorist began stabbing people inside a Macy’s, asking them if they were Muslim and shouting the name of “Allah,” the genocidal Islamic deity of mass murder. And that was one Saturday, two Muslim refugees and a wave of national terror 1,200 miles apart. What did Elizabeth, New Jersey and St. Cloud, Minnesota have in common? New Jersey has the second largest Muslim population in the country. This isn’t the first time it was used as a staging ground for Muslim terror...

{redstate.com} ~ On Sunday's edition of NBC's Meet the Press, former Defense Intelligence Agency, and advisor to Donald Trump, Director Gen. Michael Flynn questioned immunity deals received by Cheryl Mills and four other former liar-Hillary Clinton aides... Flynn quoted liar-Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta as saying no individual is "too big to jail, that should include people like liar-Hillary Clinton. Five people around her have had – have been given immunity, to include her former chief of staff. When you are given immunity, that means you have probably committed a crime. I don’t know how he can sit there and say something like that with all the things that have been going around, just swirling around liar-Hillary Clinton with her emails.” The Podesta quote came from earlier in the show when Podeasta was trying to obfuscate liar-Hillary's very close ties to Goldman Sachs, one of Wall Street's biggest brands. Chuck Todd asked Podesta about an article in Sunday's New York Times, which explores the extensive ties between liar-Clinton and Goldman Sachs including the paid speeches she and former president Bill liar-Clinton gave at Goldman Sachs events and other financial institutions, support liar-Hillary gave to Goldman Sachs as Secretary of State, and campaign contributions made by Goldman Sachs to liar-Hillary...If you vote for her, you are screwing yourself and the rest of us.

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Islamic militants are stepping up a propaganda war against Spain. In recent months, Islamic State and other jihadist groups have produced a flurry of videos and documents calling on Muslims to reconquer al-Andalus... Al-Andalus is the Arabic name given to those parts of Spain, Portugal and France occupied by Muslim conquerors also known as the Moors from 711 to 1492. Many Muslims believe that territories Muslims lost during the Christian Reconquest of Spain still belong to the realm of Islam. They claim that Islamic law gives them the right to re-establish Muslim rule there. A recent Islamic State document includes a list of grievances against Spain for wrongs done to Muslims since the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa on July 16, 1212, when the Christian forces of King Alfonso VIII of Castile routed the Almohad Muslim rulers of the southern half of the Iberian Peninsula. More than 100,000 Muslims were killed in the battle, which was a key victory in the Catholic Monarchs' "Reconquista" of Spain...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9025/jihadists-target-spain

nObama’s Conflict Tanked the liar-Clinton E-mail Investigation — As Predicted

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ So exclaimed liar-Hillary Clinton's close aide and confidante, Huma Abedin. The FBI had just shown her an old e-mail exchange, over liar- Clinton's private account, between the then-secretary of state and a second person, whose name Abedin did not recognize... The FBI then did what the FBI is never supposed to do: The agents informed their interviewee (Abedin) of the identity of the second person. It was the president of the United States, Barack nObama, using a pseudonym to conduct communications over a non-secure e-mail system - something anyone with a high-level security clearance, such as Huma Abedin, would instantly realize was a major breach. Abedin was sufficiently stunned that, for just a moment, the bottomless capacity of liar-Clinton insiders to keep cool in a scandal was overcome. "How is this not classified?" She recovered quickly enough, though. The FBI records that the next thing Abedin did, after "expressing her amazement at the president's use of a pseudonym," was to "ask if she could have a copy of the email."...

Shutting Down The Terror Masters:

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Congress will consider on Wednesday whether to override the President's veto on Friday of the Justice Against State Sponsors of Terrorism bill, known as JASTA... The objective of the bill's sponsors and the near unanimous Congressional support are both easy to understand. Currently state sponsors of terrorism such as Iran and Syria, and formerly North Korea and Libya, can be sued in court. Congress years ago opened that door that had previously prevented individual citizens from suing countries that carried out terrorism against Americans. If a nation is designated "a state sponsor of terrorism" by the US Department of State, that eliminated nation-state sovereign immunity in US courts. The victims and the survivors of the 9-11 attacks know that the Taliban in Afghanistan gave sanctuary to Al Qaeda to plan the attacks. But the Taliban are not in power as a government and thus difficult to sue... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/shutting-down-the-terror-masters-some-considerations?f=must_reads

It lists terrorists under the ambiguous category of "violent extremist organizations" and singles out al Qaeda and the Islamic State group. ...Special Operations Command wants the National Military Strategy to specifically name Salafi jihadism as the doctrine that inspires violent Muslim extremists. Salafi jihadism is a branch within Sunni Islam. It is embraced by the Islamic State and used to justify its mass killings of nonbelievers, including Shiite Muslims, Sunnis and Kurds, as well as Christians.

Our Political Predicament

{townhall.com} ~ There is no point denying or sugar-coating the plain fact that the voters this election year face a choice between two of the worst candidates in living memory. A professor at Morgan State University summarized the situation by saying that the upcoming debates may enable voters to decide which is the "less insufferable" candidate to be President of the United States.

My own take on this election is that the voter is in a situation much like that of an American fighter pilot in World War II, whose plane has been hit by enemy fire out over the Pacific Ocean and is beginning to burst into flames.

If he bails out, there is no guarantee that his parachute will open. But even if he lands safely in the ocean, he may be eaten by sharks. If he comes down on land, he may be captured by the Japanese and tortured and/or killed.

In other words, there are huge and potentially fatal risks. But, if he remains in the plane, he is doomed for certain. To me, Donald Trump represents multiple and potentially fatal risks. But liar-Hillary Clinton is a certainty of disaster. Her vaunted "experience" is an experience of having repeatedly made decisions that turned out to be not merely wrong but catastrophic.

The most obvious example has been her role as Secretary of State during the nObama administration's decision to undermine and help destroy the governments of two nations -- Egypt and Libya -- that were no threat whatever to Americans or to America's interests.

The net result was that two Middle East nations that were at least neutral toward the United States, in contrast to others who are hostile and belligerent, were turned into countries where Islamic extremists created turmoil, and one in which Islamic terrorists killed the American ambassador and those who came to his aid.

President nObama and Secretary liar-Clinton inherited an Iraq where terrorists had been soundly defeated, thanks to General David Petraeus' "surge" campaign, which both had opposed when they were in the Senate.

But the nObama administration turned victory into defeat by pulling American troops out of Iraq, against the advice of top military leaders, setting the stage for the emergence of ISIS and its triumphant barbarism that attracted adherents who began waging a terrorist war inside Western nations, including the United States.

A whole series of disastrous military and foreign policy decisions have led to public criticisms by an extraordinary succession of former Secretaries of Defense and top generals who had served under the nObama administration. Such public criticisms of any administration, by its own former high officials, are virtually unheard of.

One of these Secretaries of Defense, Robert Gates -- who has served under several administrations of both parties -- criticized Donald Trump as well. Secretary Gates said: "The world we confront is too perilous and too complex to have as president a man who believes that he, and he alone, has all the answers and has no need to listen to anyone."

Secretary Gates called Trump "beyond repair." He also criticized liar-Hillary Clinton, so this was no partisan attack. Unfortunately -- perhaps tragically -- she and Trump are our only alternatives this election year. On the domestic front, as well, Trump is an uncertainty, while liar-Hillary is a guaranteed catastrophe. Given the advanced ages of various Supreme Court justices, whoever becomes the next President of the United States can expect to have enough appointments to that court to determine the future of American law -- and American freedom -- for decades after that President's term of office is over.

liar-Hillary Clinton has already said that she wants to see the current Supreme Court's decision overturned in a case where they ruled, by a 5 to 4 vote, that both corporations and labor unions have free speech rights. On other issues as well, she has advocated curtailments on free speech. And without free speech, there is no effective limit on what any administration can do.

On racial issues, Mrs. liar-Clinton has repeatedly pushed the idea that blacks are besieged by enemies on all sides, and need her to protect them -- in exchange for their votes. Trump has at least supported charter schools, which are one of the few avenues through which the next generation of blacks can get a decent education.

There are no good choices, but nevertheless we must choose.
