146 prog-tards indicted for Inauguration Day riot
A grand jury indicted 146 more people on Wednesday in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on felony rioting charges in connection with Inauguration Day.

A press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C. says the 146 people were facing charges relating to incidents that occurred in the four-block area from the intersection of 13th and O Street NW to the intersection of 12th and L Street NW on January 20.

Of the 230 people arrested and charged with felony rioting connected with Inauguration Day, 209 have now been indicted. Police are continuing to investigate this incident.

#1  Photograph, swab them. Start building a domestic terrorist data base, just like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan.

#2  I wonder how many were using Federal comp-time or sick days ?

#3  A study found that 90% of violent rioters still live with mommy and daddy.

Bill the parents for damages and you will see some shit change for sure.

#4  Marchs, demonstrations and protests are one thing. Felony rioting is another. Some in this country have ignored the rule of law and the law breakers for too long. These law breakers have come to think breaking the law is an entitlement. We have been reaping the results of this mollycoddling attitude.

#6  All you have to do now is secure a conviction with a DC jury.
Posted by: ed in texas || 02/10/2017 13:26 Comments || Top||

#7  Getting a conviction will be easy in DC since most of the rioters are privileged white kids with money and most of DC is welfare black.

The court rooms will be so much fun...imagine a lefty lawyer claimed the jury in DC wasn't diverse enough...

CSUF prof allegedly assaults conservative student on campus
  • [CAMPUSREFORM.ORG] A California State University, Fullerton professor allegedly assaulted a College Republicans member in broad daylight during a demonstration against President Trump’s executive order on immigration.

  • CR members identified the assailant as part-time anthropology professor Eric Canin, and say they plan to press charges after filing a battery report with campus police.

#1  A little advice to the liberal coasts colleges from fly over country.

Your campuses are experiencing violence as never before seen in the history of the US. The 60's was students vs establishment. These days are worse as it is students against students.

The end result will be that the young people you are responsible for will end up with a criminal record for life, a life destroyed by the atmosphere you and your staff are 100% responsible for. Lets hope you will be held accountable.

#2  The last I heard aggravated assault and battery was a felony. Prosecute this professor for aggravated assault and battery. That'll take the starch out of this elitist who thinks he is above the law.
Posted by: JohnQC || 02/10/2017 9:24 Comments || Top||

#3  Don't kid yourself, Venal. They don't care. If they cared about students they'd tell them to go get jobs instead of wasting their time at college.

#4  Prof assaulting a student?!? Not that most don't get the urge some time or the other.

#5  We are at a time when high tech folks are suggesting people are better off without a college degree restraining their thinking.

Where tech companies are setting up trade schools to train people the way they want them trained.

Where folks like Mike Rowe are pushing for people to start looking at honest labor jobs again.

At the same time colleges are getting more political and more violent and more expensive.

The end game isn't hard to see. The colleges need to do something or they will be slimmed down big time in the coming years.

#8  It seems the alleged assaults on campus are done by assistant or adjunct "professors"! Maybe they're not getting enough job satisfaction? Acting out? Forgot to take meds?

Home Front: WoT
'The 9th Circuit Just Issued a Dangerous Ruling against POTUS Immigration Order
[National Review] After the Ninth Circuit’s dangerous precedent, the Trump administration needs to slow down and consider its next move.

It’s often said that bad facts make bad law. In the case of the Ninth Circuit’s just-issued ruling continuing the nationwide injunction against Donald Trump’s executive order pausing immigration from seven jihadist or jihad-torn countries, it’s necessary to amend that saying.

Bad facts combined with superheated politics can make terrible law. Before addressing the court’s ruling, let’s refer back to some of the bad facts that made it more likely. Critically, the Trump administration issued a significant executive order (and then defended it in court) without laying any real factual foundation for its finding.

Next, the administration enforced the order in a haphazard and unnecessarily cruel manner, initially including even green-card holders in its scope. By slamming the door (at least temporarily) in their faces, it created a crisis atmosphere that not only ramped up the political stakes, it told the court that the administration didn’t exactly know how to interpret its own order. This invites judicial meddling. What does the opinion actually say? It made four critical rulings and one dangerous implication.

#1  They question is, should the Judges be held for in-voluntary manslaughter or pre-meditated murder regarding their destruction of national security directives from the oval office?

#2  The Congressman Flake Bill to split the 9th into two distracts by creating a new District encompassing all but CA and Oregon. By the appointment of all new judges and shuffling them, this viper pit of activists can be broken. Secondly, fast track Gorsuch. Third, consider legislation according obstruction of justice charges and/or liability to those elected officials who prevent the enforcement of immigrations laws in any manner. Every municipality, county and state that received federal funding of any manner has had to certify full compliance with all federal laws as a condition of its receipt. It is time to unleash the full power of the federal government on these seditious bastards.

Government
Alabama AG sworn in to replace Jeff Sessions
[FOXNEWS] Republican Luther Strange, Alabama's attorney general, was sworn in on Thursday to fill the Senate seat left empty by Jeff Sessions, tapped by President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
to be the nation's top law enforcement officer.

Sen. Orrin Hatch
...Republican Senator-for-Life from Utah. The state does have two senators but nobody can remember who the other guy is...
, R-Utah, administered the oath to Strange, a well-connected Republican and former Washington lobbyist. Attorney General Sessions and Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama were at Strange's side in the well of the Senate, and applause filled the chamber after the oath.

Strange joins the Senate after Sessions' confirmation as U.S. attorney general Wednesday night. The 63-year-old lawyer has been the state's attorney general since 2011. His selection caps two months of jockeying and political guessing games over who would get the nod from Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley.

The appointment comes two months after Strange asked the Alabama House Judiciary Committee to pause an impeachment probe of Bentley, who was accused last year of having an affair with a onetime top political adviser.
