Killers Laugh and Smile While Killing/Clueless in Chicago/It’s the STINKING GANGS/Wake Up. | JUST SAYIN:
"A few days ago John Kass of the Tribune made a statement in response to a comment I was making about Chicago's violence that read as follows,
"Politicians and Media keep talking about gun violence, but it isn't, it's GANG VIOLENCE."
Those of us who are familiar with Chicago's everyday ongoing violence could not agree more.
The following are the reasons why Mr. Kass is so right and why so many others just do not seem to get it."...

Moron-media kinda downplayed this. By mistake, I'm sure.-----Armed security guard kills gunman, stops mass shooting outside Kansas City nightclub - The Daily Sheeple
Armed security guard kills gunman, stops mass shooting outside Kansas City nightclub - The Daily Sheeple"The alleged gunman, Jahron Swift, 29, of Kansas City, apparently had gotten into a confrontation inside the club and once outside, began shooting people who were in a line waiting to get in, Smith said.
Smith identified the victim killed in the shooting as 25-year-old Raven Parks.
- “The security guard is the one who engaged the suspect,” said Smith, who did not release the name of the security guard.
He said the security guard heard the gunshots and went outside and confronted the gunman, fatally shooting him..."

Watch – 2A Activist: Media Smearing Virginia Protesters as 'Nothing but White Rednecks'
Watch – 2A Activist: Media Smearing Virginia Protesters as 'Nothing but White Rednecks':
“What I also don’t support is the fact that every news piece you’ve seen on this, this weekend, they’ve always brought up the issue of race, as though it’s nothing but white rednecks and hillbillies out here who care for the Second Amendment,” he continued. “When Actually, black Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Americans in general, care about the Second Amendment.”
Prior to Monday’s rally, Breitbart News reported that NBC News reporter Ben Collins previewed Virginia’s Second Amendment event by calling it a “white nationalist rally.” Michael Bloomberg-funded Moms Demand Action and the Washington Post took similar approaches, linking support for the event and/or Second Amendment Sanctuaries to extremism.

Supreme Court To Decide On ‘Faithless’ Elector Bans, ACA Contraception Mandate | The Daily Caller
Supreme Court To Decide On ‘Faithless’ Elector Bans, ACA Contraception Mandate | The Daily Caller:
The Supreme Court took up two high-profile disputes Friday as it rounds out its docket for the 2019-2020 term, agreeing to decide on the Trump administration’s bid to enforce exemptions from the Obamacare contraception mandate for religious dissenters, and whether state laws punishing “faithless” presidential electors are unconstitutional.

The recrudescence of 'nasty, rotty' school lunches in California - American Thinker
The recrudescence of 'nasty, rotty' school lunches in California - American Thinker
"So what's the verdict on Michelle Obama's "nasty, rotty" school lunch program, supposedly loaded with green vegetables that somehow went onto the trays gray?
We already know the kids couldn't stand it.
Remember this?
President Trump has decided to at least partially scrap it.
According to The Hill:
Under the new rules, schools would be allowed to reduce the number of fruits and vegetables required at each meal. The latest change follows a 2019 rollback of restrictions on milk and sodium content in school lunches.Critics said the change will pave the way for greasier, more unhealthy foods such as pizza, french fries and burgers.
Feel the hysteria.
The media is tut-tutting the move, but the Department of Agriculture has decided to allow local school districts to make their own decisions about what local kids can eat, ending the rigid rules that led to the "nasty, rotty" food debacle that was so bad kids rebelled by setting up black markets for "Flamin' Hot Cheeto Fries," discarding the supposedly healthier food into the trash.
...The Trump administration explicitly noted the problem of food waste and it all makes sense.
Gavin Newsom, however, has his own idea: More Of It, as if the big-scale veggie scheme had never been tried before:
In an effort to provide California students with healthier, more sustainable food options, Gov. Gavin Newsom introduced a proposal of $70 million for fresher, more nutritious school meals in his 2020-21 preliminary budget Friday morning....
More money at an already failed idea is a red flag.
Three things are going on here, and Newsom is only addressing one of them..."

"Since at least 2016, CNN has mostly ceased being a news agency...

Rotherham Police Ignored 'Asian' Rape Gangs Fearing 'Racial Tensions'
Rotherham Police Ignored 'Asian' Rape Gangs Fearing 'Racial Tensions':
A report has found that police in Rotherham ignored decades of abuse carried out by ‘Asian’ grooming gangs against young girls for fear of sparking “racial tensions”.
After years of denials by police in the north and Midlands, who claimed that race played no role in their inadequate response to the grooming gang epidemic, a report from the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has found just the opposite.

Wow – Puerto Rico Governor Fires Emergency Response Director After Massive Warehouse of Unused Aid Discovered… | The Last Refuge
"...The warehouse was discovered after the recent earthquake, and the building suffering damage.
...First, the report:
(VIA CBS) Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced fired the island’s emergency management director on Saturday, after a video showing aid sitting unused in a warehouse went viral on social media.
Some of the aid has allegedly been sitting in the warehouse since Hurricane Maria struck in 2017.
...To give you an idea of the scale, there’s at least 100 semi truck loads of supplies in this video, in this single warehouse.
...It is unfathomable these supplies were not distributed; and worse yet were likely being re-sold on the black market.

Impeachment is a full-on Democrat temper tantrum-----Fans of Best of the Web Today

I was five…and guilty as sin.
Back in 2016, I wrote:
"If one remembers their own childhood, one can assume that there will be remembered at least one situation where some unfair punishment or major injustice was vested on one’s person.
I can vividly remember being punished for a crime I clearly committed (I snuck a piece of my own chocolate birthday cake a little early) and got punished by both parents…on my birthday…on a Saturday…and before my birthday party.
Can life get more unfair?
I can remember crying on my bed then getting angry and saying under my breath that “Nobody loves me.
They all hate me.”

I got what I deserved. It was all on me."
Of course, my parents did love me but the emotional reasoning of a child's immature mind just couldn't process what resulted from my own actions.
I guess that's to be expected - from a five year-old child.
Now look at the things of which the President has been accused. Look at the absurd things Robert DiNiro, Michael Moore, Joy Behar and other members of the leftist elite (and even local writers of letters to the editor) allege.
Trump is setting himself up to be a dictator, he's a Russian agent, a traitor, a racist, a bigot, a white supremacist, a LGBTQ-ophobe - when there is either zero or contradictory evidence any is true - but he must be impeached!
Things of which there is little but their imagination to base those allegations upon and the entire Democrat Party has adopted that same immature reasoning - or lack thereof - of a five year-old.
To them, President Trump represents a rejection of them and their policies.
He is an existential threat to them for every reason they can imagine - and if their current actions are to be believed, they have a pretty vivid imagination.

The real issue for Democrats is that Trump exposes them for their crimes. He doesn't look like them, act like them or speak like them. He doesn't play by their rules. He represents a constant reminder that they truly take the cake.
And they don't feel loved.
Impeachment is a full-on Democrat temper tantrum, a screaming, kicking emotional meltdown in the candy aisle of Walmart.
Impeachment is a full-on Democrat temper tantrum, a screaming, kicking emotional meltdown in the candy aisle of Walmart.
The simple fact is that once a person renounces reason for emotion, any emotion can be converted into their reality, any feeling can be interpreted as their truth.
But there is no my truth or your truth - there is only THE truth - and with that fact, the adult babies in the Democrat Party simply can't deal."

WATCH: GOP Rep. Greg Steube: Not One Democrat Voted to Protect Women's Sports"Florida Republican Congressman Greg Steube was disgusted to tell Fox News that not a single Democrat voted in favor of a bill that would protect women’s sports from biological males who claim to be transgender women.
...The Florida congressman recently introduced a bill that would have banned “schools from using Title IX federal funds to support women sports if biological men are allowed to compete with them,” Steube told Carlson.
...“It’s just fascinating that we are in a place in our country where you have to file bills to make it clear that women are actually going to be competing with women and women’s sports,” Steube told the Fox host.

MLK on the Purpose of Education: 8 Quotes | Intellectual Takeout
MLK on the Purpose of Education: 8 Quotes | Intellectual Takeout:"...As the quotes below illustrate, Dr. King promoted a traditional understanding of education in which students learn to think for themselves while simultaneously developing in virtue.
Are today’s schools failing to give students the kind of education that Dr. King promoted?
- “Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life.”
- “To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education.”
- “A great majority of the so-called educated people do not think logically and scientifically. Even the press, the classroom, the platform, and the pulpit in many instances do not give us objective and unbiased truths.”
- “Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.”
- “The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.”
- “The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate.”
- “[E]ducation which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.”
- “Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education.”
