Sheriff Clarke: Champ Is Like a Pyromaniac Who Sets a Fire – Then Watches It Burn (VIDEO)
[Gateway Pundit] Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures to discuss the Black Lives Matter rioters and Barack Obama. Clarke says Obama acts like a pyromaniac starting fires then watching them burn.

Sheriff Clarke called on the nation to rise up against the Black Lives Matter group after the Dallas police murders.

Ginsburg Jokes She Could Move To New Zealand If Trump Is Elected President
[Huffpoo] If Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wins the election, he might have to fill more than just Antonin Scalia's seat on the Supreme Court.

In an interview with The New York Times, Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg shared her concerns about a Trump presidency:

"I can't imagine what this place would be ― I can't imagine what the country would be ― with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be ― I don't even want to contemplate that."

Then, she added that her late husband would have joked, "Now it's time for us to move to New Zealand."

#11  And somehow she and Scalia were friends. Maybe they both were able to partition politics and judicial philosophy from the rest of their lives.

If so that's an admirable--even conservative--trait. Too many people make their politics the central theme of every part of their lives; most of the ones I know being hard leftists for whom government is god and deviation is heresy.

BLM Minister of Defense advocates for separatist nation
[Breitbart] Babu Omowale, the so-called national minister of defense for the People's New Black Panther Party, says his group and allied organizations have their sights set on establishing "our own government in a nation within a nation."

Omowale was speaking in an interview set to air Sunday night on this reporter's talk radio program, "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio," broadcast on New York's AM 970 The Answer and News Talk 990 AM in Philadelphia.

Omowale used the interview to claim five states as belonging to the "Black Nation": North Dakota, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia.

The revolutionary stated: "We just need to start migrating back to those states and taking control of the economics in those states. If black people move in, most definitely white people will move out. So it's not a hard process for us to have our own country within a country."

#8  The birth of Obamaland. Access to Florida must be negotiated. Perhaps some type of Schengen Economic Accord could be hatched; open borders, member states contributing to the welfare of the fledgling Obamaland, that sort of thing.

In keeping with the current double standard, those with Obamaland heritage living elsewhere, could remain in a tax-exempt, duel citizen status.

The possibilities are endless.

#9  "our own government in a nation within a nation."

They're called reservations across the country. Might check the quality of life and employment on the Res if that is what you're going for, less those who've discovered gambling houses. Strangely enough, those around here who've found that income stream, insist that before members of the tribe receive the bennies of that bounty, they have to have a job.

Posted by: Vast Right Wing Conspiracy || 07/11/2016 11:54 Comments || Top||

#14  As we snicker, a gentle reminder: 99% of Americans think these guys are idiots. The large majority of black Americans think these guys are idiots, even as they're unhappy with police excess. Let's not paint too broadly with our brushes.

#15  I'm thinking rather than a nation-within-a-nation they aim for Haiti. Take it over lock-stock-and barrel and make something of the place. Make a black person's paradise, or at least try.

#16  Agree Steve. But their goals are very telling.
Posted by: Whiskey Mike || 07/11/2016 15:14 Comments || Top||

#17  They are insurgents, by definition. All jokes aside, a successful insurgency usually happens with less the 2% of the population being active. What they need to be successful is tacos approval from a religious or ethnic group, funding, and an apathetic enemy. Seems to me they have a pretty good recipe for their movement. Their big mistake this week was executing their big first event in Texas. Texans are great American and with all the problems we are having, you still mess with one Texan, you just picked a fight will all of Texas.
Posted by: 49 pan || 07/11/2016 17:02 Comments || Top||

#18  The mistake is trying to justify the shooting.

When Furgeson went stupid I did a come on now when the police's opening move was rolling up tacticool.

Now, I'd think, I don't blame them.

Anyone watch The Last Ship? I really don't, but there was an episode where a sub attacked the ship, but it was a setup to get video of the ship doing military things so when the bad guys blew up the civilian ships in the harbor, the bad guys broadcast dramatic footage of the ship and edited it to appear they (good guys) were firing on the harbor.

I think that is what they are trying to do here. And they will escalate until they get their moment.

Y'all in these cities may want to quick check your EP kit, because if they (self redacted) and/or (self redacted) some food and water/make potable water might come in handy. They are already trying to disrupt transportation; may want to keep that in mind if your boogie route involves an Interstate.

A Black Cop's Thoughts About Black Violence And BLM
I have come to realize something that is still hard for me to understand to this day. The following may be a shock to some coming from an African American, but the mere fact that it may be shocking to some is prima facie evidence of the sad state of affairs that we are in as Humans.

I used to be so torn inside growing up. Here I am, a young African-American born and raised in Brooklyn, NY wanting to be a cop. I watched and lived through the crime that took place in the hood. My own black people killing others over nothing. Crack heads and heroin addicts lined the lobby of my building as I shuffled around them to make my way to our 1 bedroom apartment with 6 of us living inside. I used to be woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of gun fire, only to look outside and see that it was 2 African Americans shooting at each other.

It never sat right with me. I wanted to help my community and stop watching the blood of African Americans spilled on the street at the hands of a fellow black man. I became a cop because black lives in my community, along with ALL lives, mattered to me, and wanted to help stop the bloodshed.

As time went by in my law enforcement career, I quickly began to realize something. I remember the countless times I stood 2 inches from a young black man, around my age, laying on his back, gasping for air as blood filled his lungs. I remember them bleeding profusely with the unforgettable smell of deoxygenated dark red blood in the air, as it leaked from the bullet holes in his body on to the hot sidewalk on a summer day. I remember the countless family members who attacked me, spit on me, cursed me out, as I put up crime scene tape to cordon off the crime scene, yelling and screaming out of pain and anger at the sight of their loved ones taking their last breath. I never took it personally, I knew they were hurting. I remember the countless times I had to order new uniforms, because the ones I had on, were bloody from the blood of another black victim...of black on black crime. I remember the countless times I got back in my patrol car, distraught after having watched another black male die in front me, having to start my preliminary report something like this:

Suspect- Black/ Male, Victim-Black /Male.

I remember the countless times I canvassed the area afterwards, and asked everyone "did you see who did it", and the popular response from the very same family members was always, "Fuck the Police, I aint no snitch, Im gonna take care of this myself. This happened every single time, every single homicide, black on black, and then my realization became clearer.

The rest can be found at the link.
