[Police and LE Magazine] The murders of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Steve Owen and Palm Springs Police Officers Jose "Gil" Vega and Leslie Zerebny by two crazed and armed career criminals underscore what all cops and their families already know--there is indeed a war on police. It is, in fact, the age-old battle of good versus evil.
Although the investigations of all three murders are currently ongoing, we already know some facts that have been released by the victim officers' individual departments. And it is important that we understand what happened in these tragedies.
The Best of Us
Career LASD Sgt. Steve Owen was, at 53, ready to retire. He was investigating a burglary on Oct. 5 when he reportedly encountered career criminal and parolee Trenton Trevon Lovell, 27, of Lancaster, CA, behind an apartment building. There was a brief gun battle between the two. Owen was wounded.
L.A. County Sheriff Jim McDonnell told the press that after wounding Owen, Lovell stood over the deputy and pumped four more bullets into his head "execution style."
Officials say Lovell attempted to flee in the sergeant's patrol car. However, he was soon confronted by a second deputy who opened fire on the suspect in the vehicle. Lovell then reportedly rammed this deputy's patrol car, injuring him as well. Lovell was wounded in the exchange of gunfire and was taken into custody. Con't.

Could it be the way Obozo has egged on brutality against under the false banner of continuing police violence in the face of contradictory evidence?

Law enforcement and policing are white colonial constructs. De-civilization and tribal law depend upon the destruction of these racist institutions.

Couldn't possibly be because Obama painted a great big glow-in-the-dark target on their back could it?
Oh Surely not.
[Daily Caller] The Obamas have spent over 44 million dollars in taxpayer money on travel and vacations. Some are even calling him the "most well-trvaeled, expensive" president in our nation’s history.
As Americans head off for the long holiday weekend, let’s take a look back at some of the president’s holiday spending.
Our president vacations a lot -- we’re talking $44,351,777.12 worth of "a lot," with most expenses charged to the American taxpayer.
As of March 2014, Obama has spent more time traveling internationally than any other president, taking 31 trips since assuming office in 2009. The 119 days spent overseas have cost taxpayers millions of dollars.

That $ figure is absolute BS in my opinion. 44/31 equals 1.4 mil/trip??? Hell it takes 20 C-17 sorties to support 1stop on a POTUS trip. I would add at least a zero to the 44 million number.

[Investors Bus Daily] 2016 Election: Voters just rejected his policies, rejected his Pollyannaish view of the economy and handed his party defeats at every level of government. But as far as President Obama is concerned, everything he's done is magic.
After the shellacking they took in the election last week, Democrats have been counseling each other to get outside their liberal "bubble" so they can reconnect with regular Americans. But not Obama.
At his press conference on Monday, Obama failed to show a scintilla of humility. His economic polices are working, ObamaCare is doing better than expected, all is well. "We should be very proud," he said, that "when we turn over the keys the car is in pretty good shape."

Loaded with the imagery of 'but it should have worked'. The fact is, what defeated Hillary Clinton was Hillary Clinton, that moment of "I can't possibly vote for her" that occurred in voting booths nationwide. The rest is bonus.

An analysis by the National Committee for an Effective Congress looked at the vote in 14 swing states vs. the rest of the country. Trump won the popular vote in those 14 states and got 142 of his electoral votes from them. In the other 36 states, he lost the popular vote by an even larger margin. He found the votes where he needed them. She did not.
So the overage in Caliphornia outweighed the margin in the other 35 states? Figures don't lie, but sometimes clever people abuse them.

Ed exactly, I was either voting Libertarian or not voting, then I thought of Frank G. crawling across glass to vote against her, then I knew what I had to do.
Superb commentary on a Sunday morning. Popping up on the Facebook feeds of several Rantburg regulars.

“the candidate of the KKK” and “the vanguard of a new white supremacist movement” is made up.
Well, there those who want to believe the MSM/Democrat talking points narrative. One of the reasons Trump won is that many, many people don't believe the MSM/Donk memes and talking points.

.....Facebook feeds of several Rantburg regulars.
Somewhat baffling, after all the dangers exposed at this site. Undoubtedly confirms my witless dinosaur status. If you'd be so kind as to mind the robots and traffic lanes whilst FB'ing. I'm still out there, driving now and then.
As we all know the country has spoken and Donald Trump is set to be the 45th president of the United States. He won the election fair and square, despite what the whiny liberals have to say about it. Of course that means that with his victory, President Obama is on his way out.
We are literally two months away from having President Obama leave the White House. That is something that should be applauded, considering the destruction that he has caused the country over the past eight years. But there was a fear that some Republicans had regarding the time leftover in office.
This was put into place to make sure that Obama doesn’t try to sneak any last minute laws by that would further his agenda. Which means that any law that he thinks is going to get through is going to get shut down by the GOP controlled Congress.

Why is this an issue? It is my understanding that all a subsequent president has to do is issue an executive order to cancel any previous executive order?

...After a competitive race between the FBI and sexism, the left decided to blame "white people" for Hillary’s defeat.
Racist white people refused to vote for a white woman who was married to the country’s first black president. Samantha Bee, who enjoyed 15 seconds of fame replacing John Oliver, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart as the whiny obnoxious lefty id, declared that white people ruined America.
"Spare me the euphemisms. White people made Trump president," a Washington Post headline blared. "White people did this. And maybe (hopefully) not my friends -- but certainly their cousins, their uncles, and their friends," a racist Vox writer shrieked.
...What happened?
White men were racist and sexist. The white men who had voted for Obama but switched to Trump were more sexist than racist. The white women who voted for Trump over Hillary were, in the words of Hillary’s communications director, suffering from "internalized misogyny".
Or maybe they just didn’t like being hated. Here’s what the left’s social justice politics had to offer them.
"White Women Failed Hillary Clinton. They Also Failed Other Women", "White Women Sent a Terrible Message on Tuesday", "Blame White Women for Country's Failure to Shatter Glass Ceiling" and "White Women Sold Out the Sisterhood and the World". Maybe even the galaxy and the universe.
The latter article whined that, "Most white women don’t want to be part of an intersectional feminist sisterhood" because they "identify more with white men than they do with black women, Latina women, Muslim women, transwomen" and defected from "the coalition of nonwhite, nonstraight, nonmale voters who were supposed to carry Clinton to a comfortable victory".
...This election wasn’t about Obama’s race or Hillary’s sex. It was about power and contempt.
Imagine the monstrous entitlement of millionaires like Aaron Sorkin writing open letters to their daughters because his favored candidate lost the election. What open letters was a coal miner put out of work by his political movement writing to his daughter?
Obama and Hillary boasted about putting coal miners out of work. Does Sorkin really think that Coal Country voted against her because they didn’t want his entitled daughter to have an equally entitled role model? Does he think that Republicans took control of the Kentucky legislature for the first time since 1921 because they were racists and sexists? Or because they were put out of work by the left?
Isn’t it funny how their wives who were trying to juggle three kids and part time work, and a depressed husband, didn’t show much interest in the intersectional sisterhood of Muslim transwomen.
...Some Democrat strategists want to learn how to "talk to white people" again. Meanwhile the left is doubling down on showing them the door. The left is pushing former Nation of Islam racist Keith Ellison for DNC chair. Because if there’s anything that will save the party, it’s putting a racist who represents a district with the largest concentration of Somali Muslims in the state in charge of formulating its future.
Ellison supports racist cop killers, hates Israel, and has a past with a hate group that believes white people are "devils" who are the spawn of a mad scientist’s experiment and will be wiped out by UFOs.

Michael Who?
Another d-list personality with a zed-level brain. "Look at me! Listen to what I say! Even though I repeat words that someone else wrote and stand where another tells me to and get to re-do stuff until I can get it right, that makes me so smarter than you. Beware my eyes of steel!"

You have to vote with your wallet. I bagged my DirecTV account after having it for 20+ years. The whining and wheedling and gnashing of teeth was hilarious. The follow-up call was funnier still.

Well Buddy, if you look around and all you see in assholes, you'd better check your own state of mind. There's therapy or medication for your condition.

I read through most of the comments and this one spoke to me (edited by me for brevity);
Dear Hollywood celebrities,
You exist for my entertainment. Some of you are great eye candy. Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes. Some of you can scare the crap out of me. Others make me laugh. But you all have one thing in common, you only have a place in my world to entertain me. Your entire existence depends on my patronage. That’s it.
I don’t really care where you stand on issues. Honestly, your stance matters far less to me than that of my neighbor. You see, you aren’t real. I turn off my TV or shut down my computer and you cease to exist in my world. Once I am done with you, I can put you back in your little box until I want you to entertain me again.
And I'm also supposed to care that you will leave this great country because Trump has becomes president? Ha. Please don't forget to close the door behind you. We'd like to reserve your seat for someone who loves this country and really wants to be here.
Make me laugh, or cry. Scare me. But realize in my world, you exist solely for my entertainment.
I’ll crank the organ grinder; you dance. So, shut your pie hole and dance, monkey!"

Should be quite enuf to compare and contrast the Trump cabinet selection candidates against the riffraff that we been accustomed to under the our part-time POTUS Kenyan master.
Let the wormy 'never Trumpers' emerge from the woodwork and bellow on. If slamming their sippy cups against the wall gives them some relief, so be it.

My guess is his new movie is a stinker, he knows it. He's willing to upset 50% of the population because it will motivate libs to support the movie. This also applies to career in general, it's a well worn career track at this point.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
