[American Thinker] After news broke of the pre-dawn raid on Roger Stone's home Friday morning in Florida by twenty-nine heavily-armed agents in nineteen vehicles, lights flashing, CNN serendipitously on hand to film the raid, millions of us realized once and for all that we are no longer living in the America we knew and loved.
Those same millions of us have known for over two years that the Mueller "probe" is a huge and well orchestrated cover-up. There are now at least two books, Gregg Jarrett's and Dan Bongino's, and well researched investigative articles that prove this beyond doubt.
Mueller was appointed by Rod Rosenstein not to investigate Trump collusion with Russia. The principals all knew that was not remotely true. He was appointed to conceal and obliterate the volumes of evidence of crimes committed by Hillary Clinton; her campaign; and a group of higher-ups in the FBI, DOJ, and CIA, all of whom were involved in a scheme to prevent Trump from being elected. All of them have lied under oath and before Congress. Mueller himself was involved in the Clinton scheme to sell 20% of U.S. uranium to Russia.
All of these felons are walking free; their homes are not being raided in the wee small hours of the morning, but their crimes are far more serious than anything Roger Stone or Paul Manafort might have committed.
That such an aggressive show of force could be visited upon a non-violent person accused of alleged verbal crimes is truly frightening. That so many in the media are celebrating the use of such a Gestapo tactic is horrifying. Suddenly, it is catastrophically clear that America is no longer a constitutional republic, a nation of laws and justice. An unelected, tangential officer of the DOJ has for two years abused his position of power to destroy many lives in the cruelest of ways with impunity. No one is stopping him and his band of legal bullies.

Now it's just finally happening to "important" people that the Left wants to bully instead of a constant stream of random people and whistleblowers that the local SWAT team or FBI decide they can get away with treating like crap.

I have a question, since the basis of the investigation has been shown, and is probably proveable, to be illegal, are any of these “convictions” going to stand? Seems like they would be nullified by an appeals court, but the judge in the superior court never should have let it come before him.

"Jack Dunphy" - always a good read!
[PJ] Gentle readers, we return today to a topic that has become all too familiar: the Los Angeles Times and its eagerness to discredit law enforcement, most especially the Los Angeles Police Department.
On Thursday, the Times published a news story under the following provocative headline: "Stop-and-frisk in a car:' Elite LAPD unit disproportionately stopped black drivers, data show." Coming in at more than 2,500 words, the story decries the perceived racial disparity among the drivers stopped by a specialized unit of LAPD officers. Regular readers of the Times are accustomed to such stories, just as they are to the paper’s willingness to ignore relevant facts so as to advance the notion that minorities in Los Angeles are unduly put upon by the police.
In advancing this notion, Times writers Cindy Chang and Ben Poston resort to well-worn techniques, presenting what to the untrained reader seems to be a straightforward analysis of the data, then bolstering it with the opinions of purported "experts," anecdotes from people who claim to have been victimized, and references to long-ago events.
The LAPD officers under scrutiny are assigned to Metropolitan Division, or Metro, an elite unit that includes SWAT and the mounted detail, but whose primary function is crime suppression. In an effort to stem a rise in violent crime, in 2015 the LAPD doubled the size of Metro, whose officers ride in unmarked cars and do not handle radio calls or perform other routine police duties. Their mission is to patrol those areas of the city most affected by crime and conduct vehicle and pedestrian stops on people who may be connected to it. And this is where they have aroused the suspicions of the Wise Ones at the Los Angeles Times.
Ignoring the cause -> effect model. The real racists are those who by their social virtue flashing force an entire community to endure some of the highest levels of crime and death.
#3
In writing this, Chang, Poston, and their editors display a willful blindness to the reality of crime in Los Angeles, which is that criminals are not proportionally represented across all ethnic groups. This naiveté, displayed so consistently in the Times for so many years, can only be deliberate, for we are told in Mr. Poston’s bio that appends the story that he is a “data journalist,” whom we might presume to have competence in the analysis of data.

The LA Times are acting ridiculously. There is no question about that. At the same time, the war on police, especially in California, is so clearly two different arms of corrupt democrat enforcers fighting it out that I find it hard to care. I hope the police and the press lose.

[NewsWithViews] From the moment democrats fooled black Americans into thinking that was the political party for them, it has been down hill ever since. As much as I despise the evil philosophy that political party promotes, I point out their ability never waiver from their malicious goals. From the beginning, the democrat party stood for oppression of one kind or another. Of we all know about the Democrat party leaders historic hatred of blacks, especially the men and like Muslims only saw them as slaves or to be denied a decent life. Then of course there was Jim Crow and the Eugenics practices. The democrat party hits just kept coming through various cruelties, lies and horrendous political practices.
The democrats remind me of a plague of evil that circulates throughout different locations and brings nothing but a lowering of living, moral, economic, governmental, educational, religious and even entertainment standards. In the United States, wherever democrats have a long term stronghold, the standard of living deteriorates much faster than by any other organization or cause. Yes, there are the George Soros’s of the world and other enemies of the United States working to destroy our beloved republic. But truth be told, if those enemies did not have such a good friend in the democrat party, they would be obscure entities, not the major threat to America they are today.
...Bottom line is, the democrat party is a very dangerous institution consisting of members, both old and young who are out to undermine our nation by infiltrating everywhere and destroying her from within. What they have done to the American black community they seek to do inflict upon our entire republic.
[Townhall] John "Tig" Tiegen, one of the men who survived the fatal attack in Benghazi on September 12, 2012, appeared at SHOT Show 2019 to promote his nonprofit, Beyond the Battlefield The Tiegen Foundation. A court recently decided that multiple Obama State Department officials must answer Judicial Watch's questions surrounding Benghazi. Naturally, I wanted to know how Tiegen felt about the situation.
"I don't think they're going to be truthful anyways. I mean, they've already lied before," Tiegen told Townhall. "Even though they say, 'Well, now they're testifying under oath.'"
According to Tiegen, he believes those State Department officials who know what truly happened in Benghazi, will more than likely plead the fifth.
"I don't think they're going to be open and honest. That's just their track record. That's how they've always been," Tiegen explained. "When they know they're going to be screwed over they get to plead the fifth."
No one can blame Tiegen for thinking nothing will come out of these questions. After all, we've gone years without any kind of truthful account of what happened. The officials in charge aren't afraid of seeing jail time. They clearly don't have any remorse for what took place back in 2012. If they haven't told the truth this far, they have no incentive to do so now.

This man speaks truth! Yes, the Lois Lerner trend will likely continue. The spoor will lead back to the Hildebeest and Bath House Barry. This cannot be permitted to happen.
[AlAhram] Tactics aimed at separating the West Bank from Gazoo are no longer restricted to the topographic, as was the case when Israel closed the "safe corridor" between them two decades ago.
Political and economic "safe corridors" have also been closed one by one, thanks to measures taken by the Paleostinian Authority (PA) in Ramallah and Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, in Gazoo.
Foremost among these measures are the freeze in the reconciliation process, the withdrawal of PA officials from the Rafah crossing, and the dissolution of parliament followed by Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

Qatar also finances terror groups in Syria (HTS)and some terror groups in Libya. Individual wealthy qataris (of whom there are many) finance the Islamic State, Al Q, etc.
Also they will host the FIFA in 2022.

Also they will host the FIFA in 2022.
It's probably going to be a cluseterfuck. Leave aside the fact they're basically using slave labor to build the stadiums (many of which will never be used again)- they're going to schedule a lot of games in early mornings before the temperatures hit 100 F, and worst of all - they're doing the games not in the summer but late fall, which will hugely fuck up normal league schedules worldwide. Way to go, assholes.
[VOA] WASHINGTON ‐ As Turkey and Russia are discussing ways to stabilize war-torn Syria, a U.S.-designated terror group in northern Idlib province has been consolidating power, with some experts warning the group, if left unchecked, might grow stronger and complicate an already difficult situation.
Last week, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an al-Qaida-affiliated group, was able to take over large swaths of land in Idlib by pushing a rival rebel group, the Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement, out of the area.
Fighting between the two groups lasted several days before a deal was reached, forcing the Zenki Movement, operating under the umbrella of the Turkish-backed National Front for Liberation (NFL), to dismantle itself and transfer hundreds of its fighters to the Afrin region where the NFL is based.
Some experts see the development as an effort by HTS to consolidate power in northern Syria.
"HTS minimized competitions from other rival groups in the area, absorbs fighters who are more ideologically inclined with HTS, and HTS will use this to demonstrate to the Syrian population that it is the most legitimate group operating in Idlib, making it even more difficult to dislodge," Colin Clarke, a senior research fellow at the Soufan Center, a New York-based think tank, told VOA.
Clarke added that HTS might be aiming for the "Hezbollah model" in Syria, trying to morph into a well-equipped militia with a political wing.

In the past, HTS has received funding from Qatar. It takes quite a bit of financing to be an effective terror group in Syria with, as Grom implies, all the competition.

[Babylon Bee] U.S.‐The nation's progressives announced Wednesday they will resume lecturing you on morality after they're finished applauding a new law allowing more babies to be murdered that was passed in New York yesterday.
"Usually we like to lecture people to do better at following our movement's ever-shifting moral compass every day," said one woman in Manhattan. "But we'll take the day off so we can spend a few minutes and celebrate this great new law that lets mothers kill their babies without consequence."
"I mean, more easily than they already could, of course," she quickly added.
Progressives stated they would be lecturing you on topics ranging from social and economic justice to climate change and fracking. But most of all, they'll be focusing on lecturing you on healthcare, especially for the nation's babies and children.
"Oh yeah, we're gonna go all-in on talking about how compassionate we are, pushing for healthcare for all," said one man in Austin, Texas. "We're the true pro-lifers, advocating for other people to pay for your healthcare. But first, I'm gonna take the day and loudly celebrate this most recent decision allowing more unborn babies to be murdered. Tomorrow, I'll get around to the lecture."

[NewsWithViews] The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is one of the top three most powerful, radical, anti-free enterprise, UN environmental groups in the world.
And WWF has succeeded in taking over the American Cattle industry!
The WWF has forced cattlemen to follow radical Sustainable rules through the establishment of the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.
They are getting away with this industry grab because the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association is now under the control of the World Wildlife Fund.
And the WWF’s Sustainable Roundtable now controls the beef packing industry which in turn controls the entire beef retail market. Cattlemen either toe the WWF dictates or are cut out of the industry.
That means cattlemen must follow massive regulations in order to produce American beef.
These rules ignore that fact that American cattlemen have always produced the highest grade of beef in the world ‐ simply by using a process that has been used by their forefathers for generations.
The real result of these rules isn’t to produce a better beef product ‐ but to destroy small producers and drive the industry to the massive corporate farms that can afford to play ball with the World Wildlife Fund.
Eventually, the WWF goal is to destroy the entire beef industry.

This article is delusional. If an industry group in an industry that people love destroys itself, it will lose its market share and control of the industry, not destroy the industry itself.

"Roundtable" is a lot like "stakeholder." Make sure you know where your wallet is when you hear those words.
