She is smart enough to know all about that judge's connection with La Raza. And activities of his -- on behalf of illegals-- that clearly call his objectivity in question. But not a word about any of that, much to her disgrace. The good news is that her little show is tanking, and has gone from a former high of #1, briefly, to #3 now, behind Hannity.

Here is interesting info about the San Jose Chief of Police and La Raza. Again, the MSM will bury it.

My fairness gets questioned due to my race, and I was born in Virginia, and my family goes back to the 17th century. I guess this makes all those on the left a bunch of racists.

I wonder how many years you hafta' spend being a "rapper" before that makes it your "job"?

Let me get this straight. This genius is angry because Trump "wants to take my Mama's food stamps," but he is able to post a $23,000 bond? Perfect.

Obama made the inference in his Indiana speech that "welfare queens" only exist in the minds on talk radio listeners. But yet you see it time and time again when you get out away from the ivory tower he lives in.

Just waking up to the news of the night club shooting in Orlando. It appears to be a terrorist attack.

If this shooting is confirmed to be Islamic terrorism, as they are suggesting right now, then Trump's victory in November is sealed.

How ironic. A group protected by the left gets massacred by a group protected by the left.

WRT the election, this can only help our cause.

The officials are doing back-flips to avoid calling it "terrorist".

Side point: Saw on the news a few minutes ago that the shooter had 2 pistols, 2 magazines and a hunting knife.

So, how did he shoot more than 60 people and still have ammo left when the police finally went into the club?

Even if he had "extended" magazines, that is a lot of ammo expended for 2 magazines.

Protest against Trump’s Dallas visit may also target Mi Cocina restaurants

Several Hispanic organizations plan to rally against presidential candidate Donald Trump’s fundraising trip next week to Dallas — and the protest also could target a prominent area restaurant chain.

“We want to send a message showing that we do not agree with Donald Trump, and we will do everything that we can to defeat him,” said Dallas lawyer and LULAC member Domingo Garcia.

Trump’s fundraiser Thursday is part of a trip to Texas that will include stops in Houston and San Antonio, said Dallas investor Ray Washburne, vice chairman of Trump Victory.

“We’re excited to have Mr. Trump come to Texas,” he said. “And we’re getting a lot of enthusiasm from donors to come meet him and hear him,” Washburne said.

Washburne is also a member of the board of directors and co-founder of MCrowd Restaurant Group, which owns 13 Mi Cocina restaurants in Texas, Oklahoma and Georgia. The group also owns eight Taco Diner restaurants in North Texas and The Mercury in Dallas.

Washburne’s connection to the Tex-Mex restaurants has added an extra ingredient to the protest planning.

A majority “of his employees are Mexican,” said Garcia, who is considering asking the workers to stage a walkout.

Another local activist, Carlos Quintanilla, said he wants to pressure Washburne into coming out against Trump’s comments about Mexican immigrants, which have been widely criticized as offensive.

Among other remarks, Trump has said: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. … They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.

“I think it’s hypocritical that Washburne makes his money with Mexican [labor], but is hosting Donald Trump,” said Quintanilla, who added that he’d like the Trump fundraiser canceled.

Details about Trump’s visit have not been released. Civil rights leaders from other organizations, including the NAACP, Next Generation Network and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, also plan to meet Saturday to prepare for the demonstration.

Washburne said he doesn’t understand why he’s being targeted.

He said he isn’t organizing the fundraiser and won’t be playing host to the Republican presidential candidate at his home.

“I am a private citizen. These are my personal beliefs,” he said. “We have never preached my beliefs to any of my employees.”

Mi Cocina, a Tex-Mex restaurant in North Texas, was sued in 2014 by five Hispanic employees who said they were denied breaks and were owed overtime pay.

In the suit, employees said their tips were often distributed among managers instead of waiters, busboys and bartenders.

Caroline Adeyinka Ibironke, the attorney for the plaintiffs, said she could not comment on the details of the case because it is pending.

“All I can say is that we are working for what we believe,” she said.

In an infamous remark that made her seem both a naif and a snob, the New Yorker magazine movie critic Pauline Kael said in 1972, after the presidential election: “I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon.” Although I would sooner have my thumbs removed than vote for Donald Trump, I do know four people who claim that they are going to vote to make him president of the United States.

One is intellectually sophisticated, a product of Yale and the Harvard Law School, the author of many books. Economistic in his thinking, he tells me that he plans to vote for Mr. Trump because after eight years of economic slump under President Obama, he believes that the Republican soon-to-be-nominee and self-acclaimed successful businessman will shake things up. Two other of the Trump backers I know are themselves businessmen, happy Philistines both, who are not in the least put off by the essential Trump coarseness, the absence in him of the least tincture of culture, historical knowledge or humility. My last Trump voter is a man with experience of his own in politics, who worked in the George W. Bush administration and who so deeply loathes the Clintons, mari et l’épouse, that he would vote for a randy mongoose before voting for Mrs. Clinton.

But these are only four voters out of the more than 13 million who bestirred themselves to vote for Donald Trump in the nation’s primary elections. How to account for these millions? Progressives easily enough account for them as racists, fools, thugs, H.L. Mencken’s booboisie, but to a much higher power of ignorance than even Mencken himself, no slouch when it came to contempt for the common people, could have imagined. This interpretation of Mr. Trump’s supporters is, somehow, too easy, and too self-congratulatory.

Something deeper, I believe, is rumbling behind the astounding support for Mr. Trump, a man who, apart from his large but less than pure business success, appears otherwise entirely without qualification for the presidency. I had a hint of what might be behind the support for him a few weeks ago when, on one of the major network news shows, I watched a reporter ask a woman at a Trump rally why she was supporting him. A thoroughly respectable-seeming middle-class woman, she replied without hesitation: “I want my country back.”

This woman is easily imagined clicking through TV news channels or websites and encountering this montage: Black Lives Matters protesters bullying the latest object of their ire; a lesbian couple kissing at their wedding ceremony; a mother in Chicago weeping over the death of her young daughter, struck by an errant bullet from a gang shootout; a panel earnestly discussing the need for men who “identify” as women to have access to the public lavatories of their choosing; college students, showing the results of their enfeebling education, railing about imagined psychic injuries caused by their professors or fellow students.

I don’t believe that this woman is a racist, or that she yearns for immigrants, gays and other minorities to be suppressed, or even that she truly expects to turn back the clock on social change in the U.S. What she wants is precisely what she says: her country back.

Who, one needs to ask, took it away? Short answer: the cultural warriors. I was once in the company of Irving Kristol when someone asked him how the culture wars were going. “They’re over,” he said. “We lost.” By “we,” Kristol meant people with a strong regard for tradition, who valued liberty over government-induced equality, the entrepreneurial over the entitlement spirit.

Irving Kristol was correct; for the moment, at least, the struggle for tradition, liberty and private business endeavor has been substantially stalled. Multiculturalism, identity politics, political correctness, victimhood—the progressivist program generally—are now in the saddle, and do not figure easily to be dislodged.

The political rise of Donald Trump owes less to the economy, to his status as a braggadocio billionaire, to his powers of insult, to the belief that he can Make America Great Again, than to the success of this progressive program. What the woman who said she wants her country back really meant was that she couldn’t any longer bear to watch the United States on the descent, hostage to progressivist ideas that bring neither contentment nor satisfaction but instead foster a state of perpetual protest and agitation, anger and tumult.

So great is the frustration of Americans who do not believe in these progressivist ideas, who see them as ultimately tearing the country apart, that they are ready to turn, in their near hopelessness, to a man of Donald Trump’s patently low quality. In doing so they fail to realize that Mr. Trump has succeeded in this political season precisely because of the successful spread of these pernicious ideas. Or, to put it in the 1960s terms from which the current progressivism ultimately derives: Donald Trump, who in his vagueness and vapidity is unlikely to provide any solution, is himself part of the problem.

Hillary Rejects ‘America First’

By Patrick J. Buchanan

“Clinton to Paint Trump as a Risk to World Order.”

Thus did page one of Thursday’s New York Times tee up Hillary Clinton’s big San Diego speech on foreign policy.

Inside the Times, the headline was edited to underline the point:

“Clinton to Portray Trump as Risk to the World.”

The Times promoted the speech as “scorching,” a “sweeping and fearsome portrayal of Mr. Trump, one that the Clinton campaign will deliver like a drumbeat to voters in the coming months.”

What is happening here?

As Donald Trump is splitting off blue-collar Democrats on issues like America’s broken borders and Bill Clinton’s trade debacles like NAFTA, Hillary Clinton is trying to peel off independents and Republicans by painting Trump as “temperamentally unfit” to be commander in chief.

Clinton contends that a Trump presidency would be a national embarrassment, that his ideas are outside the bipartisan mainstream of U.S. foreign policy, and that he is as contemptuous of our democratic allies as he is solicitous of our antidemocratic adversaries.

In portraying Trump as an intolerable alternative, Clinton will find echoes in the GOP establishment and among the Kristol-Kagan neocons, many of whom have already signed an open letter rejecting Trump.

William Kristol has recruited one David French to run on a National Review-Weekly Standard line to siphon off just enough votes from the GOP nominee to tip a couple of swing states to Clinton.

Robert Kagan contributed an op-ed to a welcoming Washington Post saying the Trump campaign is “how fascism comes to America.”

Yet, if Clinton means to engage on foreign policy, this is not a battle Trump should avoid. For the lady has an abysmal record on foreign policy and a report card replete with failures.

As senator, Clinton voted to authorize President Bush to attack and invade a nation, Iraq, that had not attacked us and did not want war with us.

Clinton calls it her biggest mistake, another way of saying that the most important vote she ever cast proved disastrous for her country, costing 4,500 U.S. dead and a trillion dollars.

That invasion was the worst blunder in U.S. history and a contributing factor to the deepening disaster of the Middle East, from which, it appears, we will not soon be able to extricate ourselves.

As secretary of state, Clinton supported the unprovoked U.S.-NATO attack on Libya and joked of the lynching of Moammar Gadhafi, “We came. We saw. He died.”

Yet, even Barack Obama now agrees the Libyan war was started without advance planning for what would happen when Gadhafi fell. And that lack of planning, that failure in which Clinton was directly involved, Obama now calls the worst mistake of his presidency.

Is Clinton’s role in pushing for two wars, both of which resulted in disasters for her country and the entire Middle East, something to commend her for the presidency of the United States?

Is the slogan to be, “Let Hillary clean up the mess she helped to make?”

Whether or not Clinton was complicit in the debacle in Benghazi, can anyone defend her deceiving the families of the fallen by talking about finding the evildoer who supposedly made the videotape that caused it all?

Even then, she knew better.

How many other secretaries of state have been condemned by their own inspector general for violating the rules for handling state secrets, for deceiving investigators, and for engaging, along with that cabal she brought into her secretary’s office, in a systematic stonewall to keep the department from learning the truth?

Where in all of this is there the slightest qualification, other than a honed instinct for political survival, for Clinton to lead America out of the morass into which she, and the failed foreign policy elite nesting around her, plunged the United States?

If Trump will stay true to his message, he can win the foreign policy debate, and the election, because what he is arguing for is what Americans want.

They do not want any more Middle East wars. They do not want to fight Russians in the Baltic or Ukraine, or the Chinese over some rocks in the South China Sea.

They understand that, as Truman had to deal with Stalin, and Ike with Khrushchev, and Nixon with Brezhnev, and Reagan with Gorbachev, a U.S. president should sit down with a Vladimir Putin to avoid a clash neither country wants, and from which neither country would benefit.

The coming Clinton-neocon nuptials have long been predicted in this space. They have so much in common. They belong with each other.

But this country will not survive as the last superpower if we do not shed this self-anointed role as the “indispensable nation” that makes and enforces the rules for the “rules-based world order,” and that acts as first responder in every major firefight on earth.

What Trump has hit upon, what the country wants, is a foreign policy designed to protect the vital interests of the United States, and a president who will — ever and always — put America first.

I don't think there is any way to measure how destructive a Hillary Clinton admin would be to the world and the population of this nation. At this point, Trump is the only defense we have. He may not be the best weapon, but he is the only one we have. Use it or lose it.

How ironic...the guy that's married to Victoria Nuland, Hillary's State Dept. spokesperson at the time who was helping to push the Benghazi video narrative writes of fascism...Kettle meet Pot

When handed lemons, make sweet sweet lemonade.

I hate to take advantage of a tragedy but this is an opportunity for Trump to solidify himself as the front runner for POTUS.

If he or his people can come up with a powerful, presidential, and more importantly correct plan of action and put it out in the next week, maybe 2, it will carry the win.

Trump needs to plan a major NatSec speech where he lays out the way Obama threw away a victory in Iraq and abandoned Afghanistan, leading to the rise of ISIS, which has led to hundreds of deaths as jihad spreads from the Middle East to Paris, Brussels, Ukraine, Turkey, Australia, and here in the US in Tennessee, Texas, California, and now Florida. He needs to paint the picture how jihad is on the global march, emboldened by weak opposition. He should point out how Obama refuses to even acknowledge the existence of a jihad and how Hillary wants to be President 3 Putt's 3rd term. Finally, he should lay out the basic outline of a plan to crush ISIS and its jihadi wannabees.

I could not agree more.

I did not know if I should put this in the Club Shooting thread, or in the Trump thread so I apologize Para if this is the wrong place.

DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT REGARDING TRAGIC TERRORIST ATTACK IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Last night, our nation was attacked by a radical Islamic terrorist. It was the worst terrorist attack on our soil since 9/11, and the second of its kind in 6 months. My deepest sympathy and support goes out to the victims, the wounded, and their families.

In his remarks today, President Obama disgracefully refused to even say the words 'Radical Islam'. For that reason alone, he should step down. If Hillary Clinton, after this attack, still cannot say the two words 'Radical Islam' she should get out of this race for the Presidency.

If we do not get tough and smart real fast, we are not going to have a country anymore. Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen – and it is only going to get worse. I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore.

The terrorist, Omar Mir Saddique Mateen, is the son of an immigrant from Afghanistan who openly published his support for the Afghanistani Taliban and even tried to run for President of Afghanistan. According to Pew, 99% of people in Afghanistan support oppressive Sharia Law.

We admit more than 100,000 lifetime migrants from the Middle East each year. Since 9/11, hundreds of migrants and their children have been implicated in terrorism in the United States.


Hillary Clinton wants to dramatically increase admissions from the Middle East, bringing in many hundreds of thousands during a first term – and we will have no way to screen them, pay for them, or prevent the second generation from radicalizing.

We need to protect all Americans, of all backgrounds and all beliefs, from Radical Islamic Terrorism - which has no place in an open and tolerant society. Radical Islam advocates hate for women, gays, Jews, Christians and all Americans. I am going to be a President for all Americans, and I am going to protect and defend all Americans. We are going to make America safe again and great again for everyone.


- Donald J. Trump

Tomorrow Mr. Trump will deliver a major speech to further address this terrorist attack, immigration, and national security. The speech will be delivered at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm's College. For more information please visit Donaldjtrump.com.

I think that President Obama should immediately kiss the Saudis' left hands.

In turn, the Saudis should print a million more King Fahd Korans.
