"Mayor de Blasio: you know you want the heavy hand of government, and so do I
Steven Hayward at Powerline calls our attention to an interview and quote from New York’s Mayor Bill de Blasio.
It’s quite revealing not just about de Blasio, but about the leftist mindset about the role of government, our legal system, and what people themselves want [emphasis mine]:Q: In 2013, you ran on reducing income inequality. Where has it been hardest to make progress? Wages, housing, schools?de Blasio: "What’s been hardest is the way our legal system is structured to favor private property. I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be. I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community, that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs. And I would, too. Unfortunately, what stands in the way of that is hundreds of years of history that have elevated property rights and wealth to the point that that’s the reality that calls the tune on a lot of development…
…Look, if I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed. And there would be very stringent requirements around income levels and rents. That’s a world I’d love to see, and I think what we have, in this city at least, are people who would love to have the New Deal back, on one level. They’d love to have a very, very powerful government, including a federal government, involved in directly addressing their day-to-day reality.It’s not reachable right now. And it leaves this friction, and this anger, which is visceral."
There’s an awful lot packed in there, isn’t there?
First and foremost, we have the fact that de Blasio feels comfortable enough to express these sentiments openly rather than hide them..."
DACA: All Young People Pose No Threat? | The Daily Caller
DACA: All Young People Pose No Threat? | The Daily Caller:
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released data from August 2012 to September 2013 on “Characteristics of Individuals Requesting and Approved for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).”
In this 12-month period, 74,600 applicants between the age of 25-29 were accepted for DACA. The same report shows that 10,500 applicants 30 years or older were also approved. It is incorrect that all DACA recipients are “young people,” as Obama claimed."

Hackers are actively targeting US and European power grids
Hackers are actively targeting US and European power grids:
"...Symantec reports that a group it calls Dragonfly is targeting energy and power sectors in the US and Europe, with the intention of both learning how these facilities operate as well as eventually gaining control over the systems.
This isn't the first time we've heard of Dragonfly.
Back in 2014, Symantec and other researchers identified the group as responsible for a series of attacks on US and European energy systems that stretched from 2010 to 2014.
...Now, the group could be trying to gain access to energy systems for all-out attacks.
Symantec notes that one of the most troubling aspects of this campaign is the use of screenshots. In several US attacks, hackers were able to capture screen grabs of actual control panels for these energy systems.
"That's exactly what you'd do if you were to attempt sabotage," Eric Chien, a Symantec security analyst, told Wired..."

Punish Americans for Their Heritage, but Reward 'Dreamers': How DACA Outrage Exposes the Left
Punish Americans for Their Heritage, but Reward 'Dreamers': How DACA Outrage Exposes the Left:
"Over the past few months we have had it battered into our heads — in some cases quite literally — that the beneficiaries of acts of immorality, illegality, or even just contextualised normality should be punished for the actions of their forebears.
The white man especially, we are told, should bear responsibility for the actions of his great grandparents. Even when the actions were nothing but remaining silent in the face of what only now seems to us to be such obviously craven and deplorable behaviour.
I am of course talking about slavery, and the demands the United States faces from the left and the minorities they have co-opted for their Marxist cause. Tear down statues. Rewrite history. Destroy whitey.
Well, they’re at least thinking that last one."

'RepDWS' Laptop Placed For Cops To | The Daily Caller:
"A laptop that Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has frantically fought to keep prosecutors from examining may have been planted for police to find by her since-indicted staffer, Imran Awan, along with a letter to the U.S. Attorney.
U.S. Capitol Police found the laptop after midnight April 6, 2017, in a tiny room that formerly served as a phone booth in the Rayburn House Office Building, according to a Capitol Police report reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group. "

Media Conspicuously Omits D.C. Metro Shooter’s Immigration Status - Judicial Watch
Media Conspicuously Omits D.C. Metro Shooter’s Immigration Status - Judicial Watch:
"A disturbing incident involving a shooting inside a busy Washington D.C. metro station has received a lot of media attention, but all the reports conspicuously fail to mention if the suspect is an illegal immigrant.
A man was captured on camera firing a gun down the escalator of the Columbia Heights Metro station in Northwest Washington in the middle of the afternoon on August 25.
He eluded police for days and authorities needed help capturing him so they revealed he had an extensive criminal history and identified him as 22-year-old Cesar Morales, Hispanic with brown eyes, black hair and facial and neck tattoos common among members of violent street gangs.
Law enforcement bulletins warned that Morales was armed and dangerous and local media outlets included screenshots of the Metro D.C. Police Department’s social media alert asking for the public’s help in apprehending Morales.
It includes a mug shot of the suspect, who has four tattoos on his face and a large one across his neck. It turns out that Morales had just served a five-year sentence after getting convicted of several gun charges involving the 2013 shooting of a D.C. man.
Washington D.C.’s mainstream newspaper reported that the Federal Bureau of Prisons said Morales walked away form a halfway house overseen by the Baltimore Residential Reentry Management Office, which supervises facilities in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and D.C. Morales was moved to the halfway house as part of a system to help inmates transition back into society.
If Morales is in the U.S. illegally, he should have been deported not transitioned back into society..."
