Portland police charge left-wing protesters blocking a public bus [Justice Porn]
My country 'tis of thee...(tears)

A couple of reactions from viewing this video. Trump made the mask slip and many people are finally realizing just what the Left really is.
I switched my ideology pretty hard in the last year. I was never antifa level left wing but I did vote Trudeau. I think what did it was the fact that people my age were mostly raised to believe that the right wing is "the evil party" and that if only they would step out of the way the left wing could solve all the worlds problems. The riots and the general reaction from friends and family to Trumps election snapped me out of the illusion. It caused me to go back and question my beliefs on certain issues without the bias of left wing good, right wing bad and I came out around centre-right.

To sum up, it changed my perception and my perception was the basis of most of my beliefs.

I've moved gradually to a much more libertarian perspective over the past 4 years, whereas I was more or less a passive Liberal for a long time. Gamer gate really opened my eyes to what had become of the Left in America, and since then I've seen it pull really far away from Liberalism. In a way I'm grateful for that because it's made me reexamine my own understanding of Liberty and America.

#7  Gamergate: PC demands for inclusionary video game scenarios by SJW's who don't actually, you know, BUY and PLAY videogames in any great %, along with misogyny accusations against anyone who objected

#10  GamerGate was the beginning of the end for the SJW. Their temper tantrums and the following of the Gamer media hit a wall of "Fuck You" from gamers. Developers and their customers pushed back and the media was exposed collaborating with the SJW for smear campaigns.

Just a little over a year later, our MSM was exposed doing the same thing with the Clintons. GamerGate gave the blueprint on how to stand up to the media and their SJW idiot handlers.

#11  More than you'll ever want to know about GamerGate.
Posted by: Zorba Shineng8102 || 02/08/2017 10:58 Comments || Top||

#12  GamerGate in a nutshell was when many young liberals had their eyes opened in regard to what the media is capable of. It started with some reviews of a game or two that turned out to be less than honest. Once called out on those reviews, the media rolled in with their usual "let's call anyone who disagrees with us *sexist*" card. Gamers, who tend not to care what names they get called (and who have endured being called worse names that "sexist") pushed back--they resisted the urge to defend themselves and instead continued to hammer upon the dishonesty they knew of in the review of the games.

Trump repeated this "screw what the media says about you" response on his way to the white house.

#13  Like how dude sitting on the bus just tries to casually walk away.

Looks like the SJWs are going to be tossed into the sea in comicgate, as well.

And yeah, if you have never played a multiplayer online game, calling a gamer is like calling a sailor a doo-doo head.

Hundreds of (illegal) immigrants convicted and not deported committed more crimes ‐ even murder
I had to add (illegal) since they, like most, refuse to differentiate. Otherwise good article

#1  Deport them immediately over the border.... with a trebuchet.
Posted by: DarthVader || 02/08/2017 10:30 Comments || Top||

#2  Make them serve time in the US and then bill Mexico for the cost. Then deport them.

If a foreign national commits a second crime in the US they should get life.

halfway there. Now replace 'immigrant' with 'alien'. Because they are not immigrants.

#4  Generally, foreign nationals who are convicted of crimes are put into deportation proceedings after they complete their sentences.

Why can't the deportation process start the day after conviction? Then they could be deported the day their sentence is completed? Out of the slammer and straight back to their native land.

Syrian-Born Muslim Mayor Signs Executive Order Making His N.J. Borough A Sanctuary City For Refugees!
[Gateway] New Jersey-Syrian-born Muslim Mayor, Mohamed T Khairullah signed an executive order on Friday declaring the borough a sanctuary city for immigrants!

The order signed Friday allows equal protection treatment for all borough residents, regardless of immigration status. The move comes one week after President Donald Trump signed an executive order barring refugees from seven majority-Muslim countries, including Syria, from entering into the U.S.

"It is important to me as a person who came to the U.S as an immigrant, that we uphold our laws and values," Khairullah said Saturday. "The U.S is the land of opportunity and dreams for many people all over the world."

"No department, committee, agency, commission, officer or employee of the Borough of Prospect Park shall use any Borough funds or resources to assist in the enforcement of Federal Immigration Law," the order reads.

Although Trump has stated that he will cut off Federal funding to ’sanctuary cities’, this Muslim Mayor was smug in his response...

"We are in a unique position that we don’t rely on federal funding," Khairullah said. "Even if we were in that position, we would try to figure something out."

Khairullah was born in Syria and fled the country as a child. He later arrived in the United States in 1991. His political career started in 2001 when he was elected as a councilman in the borough. He has now served as the mayor for 11 years.

The fox is guarding the hen house. This Muslim Mayor clearly has an allegiance to Syria, NOT the United States. We have no idea who he could be aiding and abetting in his Borough with this executive order. Every single one of these politicians creating sanctuary cities needs to be charged and brought to justice. We are a nation with borders and immigration laws put in place to protect Americans, not foreigners!

Defying Law: Prospect Park Mayor M. Khairullah Wins Kudos for Sanctuary City Exec Order

He's in good company. It would appear that nearly half of the citizenry have an 'allegiance' to someone or something, other than the United States.

I doubt it - except for Egypt (maybe) none of them are really countries. He definitely has an allegiance to Syrian Sunnis.

Mitch McConnell Cuts Off Elizabeth Warren For Inappropriate Speech About Sessions
During an extended debate concerning Sen. Jeff Sessions' Attorney General confirmation, Sen. Elizabeth Warren was stopped mid-speech by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for "impuning the motives and conduct" of the Alabama Senator.

Senators rebuked Warren in a 49-43 party-line vote, meaning the progressive senator won't be allowed to speak from the floor until after the debate on Sessions's nomination.

#1  From ABC:
"The senator has impugned the motives and conduct of the senator from Alabama,” McConnell said. After that, Daines told Warren to "take her seat," he said.

A majority of senators voted to deny Warren's appeal, effectively silencing her for the rest of the session.

Hillary Clinton Declares: ‘The Future Is Female' [VIDEO]
Hillary Clinton declared that "the future is female" in a video statement at the feminist Makers Conference on Monday.

In her brief but stilted remarks, Clinton praised last month’s feminist march in Washington, D.C. She also took a thinly veiled jab at Donald Trump in calling on "strong women" to "set an example for every woman and girl out there who’s worried about what the future holds and wonders whether our rights, opportunities and values will endure."

"Despite all the challenges we face, I remain convinced that yes, the future is female," Clinton told the audience, which was gathered in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.

"Just look at the amazing energy we saw last month as women organized a march that galvanized millions of people all over our country and across the world," she added, referring to last month’s Women’s March.

#3  Don't let's be beastly to the Clintons
When their trickery's eventually trumped.
They were herded into battle
By that pesky Saul Alinsky,
Not by murder, fraud, or cattle,
Sax or drugs or Miss Lewinsky!

Let's not hate on them
But bravely conversate with them,
And twit them about that lengthy little list.
Indulge them in hilarity,
Demolishing their charity,
But don't let's be... Well, if you insist...
