Guns Saved These Americans From Assault and Robbery in July | The Heritage Foundation

Guns Saved These Americans From Assault and Robbery in July | The Heritage Foundation:

Yes, firearms can be used to carry out horrific acts of violence, and we should absolutely pursue ways of ensuring that individuals who pose serious risks of danger to themselves or others are disarmed long before they can commit these types of atrocities.  But the vast majority of lawful gun owners will never use their firearms for unlawful purposes. In fact, they are much more likely to use their firearms for self-defense than criminals are to use firearms to harm innocent people.  As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted in a 2013 report, almost all national studies of defensive gun uses have found that firearms are used in self-defense between 500,000 and 3 million times every year in the United States.

West African slavery lives on, 400 years after transatlantic trade began - Reuters
"LAGOS (Reuters) -

...Africa has the highest prevalence of slavery, with more than seven victims for every 1,000 people, according to a 2017 report by human rights group Walk Free Foundation and the International Labour Office.
The report defines slavery as “situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, deception, and/or abuse of power.”

Kurt Schlichter--They Will Still Hate You Even If You Disarm

They Will Still Hate You Even If You Disarm:
"It was quite a surprise to find out that we Trump voters were personally responsible for the savage murder sprees of a creep who dug single-payer and a satanist fan of Big Chief Warren. 

• The El Paso scumbag decided he wanted to murder Hispanics because migration would somehow destroy the environment, which falls right in line with classical progressive eugenics balderdash. 
• The Democrat from Dayton was full-on #Resistance. 

But apparently we conservatives were to blame for their actions because we refuse to give up our rights.
...Remember, everything the mainstream media tells you at the behest of the liberal elite is a lie and a scam designed to increase their power and wealth by diminishing your power and wealth. 
Global warming?
It’s such a crisis that they need to fly their private jets to fabulous resorts to discuss how you must trade in your Ford Expedition for a Schwinn and how millions of people like you who support their families in the petroleum industry better learn to code.
And now the crisis of two left-friendly mutants out of 335 million people means you need to be disarmed. 
Oh, and you’re also racists so you should be disenfranchised too.
Weird how the liberal solution to every problem is always to make you less free..."

Has anyone actually read the El Paso manifesto?

Instapundit Blog Archive BYRON YORK: Has anyone actually read the El Paso manifesto? 
Has anyone actually read the El Paso manifesto?

"Much discussion was spurred by an article in the New York Times with the headline, “El Paso Shooting Suspect’s Manifesto Echoes Trump’s Language.” 
The story quoted just 28 words of the nearly 2,400-word manifesto. 

...Nevertheless, the Times declared that even “if Mr. Trump did not originally inspire the gunman, he has brought into the mainstream polarizing ideas and people once consigned to the fringes of American society.”

Democratic contender Beto O’Rourke, an El Paso native, was much more blunt. “22 people in my hometown are dead after an act of terror inspired by your racism,” O’Rourke tweeted to the president.
So what did Crusius actually write? 

...But since the manifesto has become such an important part of the moment’s political debate, it is worth looking at the whole thing. 

And the impression one gets after reading the manifesto is quite different than some press accounts."

"Shocking, that. I think that it’s unprofessional to simultaneously not link to the manifesto to deny it attention — and then talk about the manifesto a lot, especially in a misleading way. 

But then, “unprofessional” is what journalism is all about these days.--Posted by Glenn Reynolds "

Mayor Pete sued for hiding ID cards for illegals - WND

Mayor Pete sued for hiding ID cards for illegals - WND:

Government watchdog Judicial Watch is suing the administration of Mayor Pete Buttigieg in South Bend, Indiana, for documentation of its hiring of a private organization to create ID cards for illegal aliens.
“Mayor Buttigieg’s city administration in South Bend is in cover-up mode on his work for special ID cards to make it easier for illegal aliens to stay in the United States contrary to law,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Judicial Watch made simple open records requests and have faced nothing but games from the Buttigieg administration – which is why we had to sue.”

Donald Trump isn’t to blame for this spate of mass shootings | Spectator USA

Donald Trump isn’t to blame for this spate of mass shootings | Spectator USA
"The flagship news and current affairs program of the BBC wasn’t in any doubt about who to blame for America’s latest bout of mass shootings.
...‘Today, Donald Trump called on Americans to condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy.’
She added that the president had made these remarks ‘with a straight face’ and ‘with autocue precision’ — completely insincere, in other words – and then pointed out that he had not suggested any new measures for gun control.
She concluded: ‘So how much should we align presidential words and terrorist acts?
Those are good questions and it’s a pity Newsnight didn’t take them seriously.
There are plenty of reasons not to blame Trump for last weekend’s slaughter.

• For one thing, the El Paso gunman railed against climate change alongside Hispanic immigration in the manifesto he published before murdering 22 people, and the president is a climate change skeptic, as liberals never tire of pointing out. 
• For another, the Dayton shooter, who murdered nine, was a self-described ‘leftist’ who praised Elizabeth Warren and Antifa, the far-left protest group. 
• Incidentally, the terrorist who charged an ICE detention center with homemade bombs and a rifle last month was a member of Antifa and referred to his target as a ‘concentration camp’, echoing the words of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Congresswoman. 

Yet Newsnight didn’t ask whether the ‘inflammatory rhetoric’ of Warren or Ocasio-Cortez ‘inspired’ these whackjobs.
No, it bought into the line peddled by Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke — and countless others — that all mass killings that have taken place on Trump’s watch have been by ‘white supremacists’..."

Sister Of Slain El Paso Couple Calls Democrats ‘Pure Evil’ For Not Welcoming Trump | The Daily Caller

Sister Of Slain El Paso Couple Calls Democrats ‘Pure Evil’ For Not Welcoming Trump | The Daily Caller:

The sister of a couple killed in Saturday’s shooting in El Paso, Texas is outraged over the “pure evil” exhibited by Democratic politicians who refused to welcome President Donald Trump to the city.
Trump plans Wednesday to visit both El Paso and Dayton, Ohio in the wake of tragic shootings in both cities. While there, the president wants to pass on condolences to those affected as well as praise to the first responders. Trump condemned the white supremacy behind the El Paso attack in a televised address Monday.

Once you realize-----Hollywood Film Depicts Trump Supporters Being Hunted for Sport by Liberals. Th…

"Hollywood Film Depicts Trump Supporters Being Hunted for Sport by Liberals.

The same ones who are now telling Trump supporters to give up their guns. 
Hmm. . . .
Plus: “In the past few days we’ve been hearing a lot about how Donald Trump’s rhetoric is apparently to blame for the El Paso shooting, yet Hollywood apparently lacked the foresight to think that a movie promoting violence against ‘deplorables’ might be in bad taste until after the shootings in El Paso and Dayton, as only now is Universal rethinking their promotional strategy for the film.”
Leftists think that rhetoric leads to violence. 
That’s why they use that rhetoric themselves, and why they try to silence it in their opponents. 
Once you realize it’s not about decency, but about brutality in service of power, it all makes sense.--Posted by Glenn Reynolds"
