Good question

Indeed it is…

VDare.com asks:

The perpetrators of this atrocity of course come from cultures in which free speech and civil discourse are not an objective value – including Sheyman.

But after Donald Trump has been repeatedly badgered about being tepidly approved of by a man with whom he has never had contact who more than a generation ago was involved with the KKK the question is obvious:

WILL BERNIE SANDERS DENOUNCE TRUMP’S VIOLENT REPRESSION BY HIS SUPPORTERS?

Will the MSM even ask?

Don’t hold your breath.

 

A first hand account of what happened last night at the Trump rally in Chicago

Update: I just realized that I had a very humorous error in the title of this posting. Needless to say, I updated it. 😆

I kind of feel like an idiot now. but, I’m glad I fixed it. it’s supposed to be Trump rally, not Trump really! Good lord. 🙄

**** original posting ****

I saw Ann Counter tweeting this link last night, about what happened in Chicago:

I followed the link and read this posting on Reddit, it really is interesting:

At 2:30 p.m., I arrived at the Donald Trump rally located at the UIC pavilion in Chicago, IL. There was light police presence at the Blue Line station, and the pavilion was short walk away. There I waited in line for about an hour until making it to the front doors, going through a security scanner, and finding a seat in the main hall.

For nearly two hours the pavilion filled until it neared capacity. It was clear that protesters were seated around the room, given easily away by their manner of dress. Most of the Trump supporters, being suburbanite or small town white people from outside of Chicago, were dressed strikingly normal—jeans and t-shirts, yoga pants or dresses, and the occasional suit.

With video: on the violence in Donald Trump campaign rallies

Hi guys. It’s 12:41 a.m. and I had went to bed. But, got up because noises were being made in the house and woke me up.

I woke up to see the headlines about Donald Trump’s campaign, especially what’s going on in Chicago. Here is some video thoughts about what’s going on.

Here is the video:

Police State Video: Chicago has it’s own CIA-type black site

The shocking video:

…and the story, via the Guardian:

The Chicago police department operates an off-the-books interrogation compound, rendering Americans unable to be found by family or attorneys while locked inside what lawyers say is the domestic equivalent of a CIA black site.

The facility, a nondescript warehouse on Chicago’s west side known as Homan Square, has long been the scene of secretive work by special police units. Interviews with local attorneys and one protester who spent the better part of a day shackled in Homan Square describe operations that deny access to basic constitutional rights.

Alleged police practices at Homan Square, according to those familiar with the facility who spoke out to the Guardian after its investigation into Chicago police abuse, include:

  • Keeping arrestees out of official booking databases.
  • Beating by police, resulting in head wounds.
  • Shackling for prolonged periods.
  • Denying attorneys access to the “secure” facility.
  • Holding people without legal counsel for between 12 and 24 hours, including people as young as 15.

At least one man was found unresponsive in a Homan Square “interview room” and later pronounced dead.

Brian Jacob Church, a protester known as one of the “Nato Three”, was held and questioned at Homan Square in 2012 following a police raid. Officers restrained Church for the better part of a day, denying him access to an attorney, before sending him to a nearby police station to be booked and charged.

This, my friends, is what a police state looks like.

Chicago is failing, Blame the Republicans!

Man, when CNN stops buying your talking points, you know you have a problem!

The Story via The Washington Times:

Chicago hasn’t elected a Republican mayor since 1927, but Democratic strategist Robert Zimmerman made the argument Friday that the GOP in Washington is to blame for the city’s gang and gun violence.

Mr. Zimmerman appeared on “CNN Newsroom” with Politics 365 contributor Jason Johnson and CNN contributor Ana Navarro, when he made the suggestion that congressional Republicans are undermining the troubled city with budget cuts.

“[L]et’s be very clear about what’s happening in Washington today, and why it’s undermining the city of Chicago — because there’s a mindset now in our government, in Washington, from the Republican members of Congress, that sequestration is an acceptable way of doing business, that we can in fact engage in these massive irresponsible cuts that no one thinks is a logical approach to budgeting,” Mr. Zimmerman said. “And that undermines law enforcement in our cities; it undermines so many education opportunities for our younger people, and it does in fact create an impoverished class of our society that leads to abuse, leads to violence and leads to more Chicagos.”

Fortunately, there are some people over at CNN that have something in the space between their ears and they just were not buying that silly little talking point and idiotic argument:

But Ms. Navarro didn’t buy the argument.

“Yes, I’m going to try not to roll my eyes at your suggestion that Republicans are the ones responsible for Rahm Emanuel’s city, for Barack Obama’s — President Obama’s state, for a state that’s mostly Democrat,” Ms. Navarro said. “Look, you all got to take responsibility, and you are laying the blame on Republicans and making this a partisan issue.”

Indeed they are. The Democrats will stop at nothing to blame everyone, but themselves for the failures of Chicago, Detroit and California. They will try and pin it on the Republicans. As for the sequester, that was Obama’s idea, not the Republicans idea and now that it is going into place, Obama is blaming the other side for the actual thing that he put into place. Nice try, but Americans, like me, are just much smarter than that.  

However let me say this: This is nothing new at all. Republicans and Democrats have been blaming each other for their failures for a very long time. It is the classic political trick, pass a law, hoping it will help and when it fails; blame the other side. Been happening for years. Most of the time, the sheep of the world — the ones who do not pay attention and accept what his spoon fed to them on the TV, they do not know any better and they just assume that the Democrats are telling the truth. Which in most cases, as with the Republicans —- they are not.

Just the same, I find it very humorous that even CNN is not buying the talking points of the left any longer. Hee hee

An Interesting Movie

I post this because I believe that it is interesting. Alex Jones has always struck me as a kook. Someone amongst the “Tin Foil Hat” crowd. However, it is something interesting to watch.

Enjoy…

What do you think? Do you think that there is any truth to this?

FBI Raids Obama's Chief Technology Officer

Oh this is nice…. Christmas comes early for the Republicans?

Via The Politico:

Federal agents this morning are searching the office Washington, D.C.’s Chief Technology Officer.

The search of the office at 1 Judiciary Square is part of “an ongoing investigation,” said a spokeswoman for the FBI’s D.C. Field Office, Lindsay Gotwin, said.

She said two men, Yusuf Acar and Sushil Bansal, had been arrested.

Acar is an information security officer who was also, according to online requests for proposals, responsible for contracting. Bansal is listed on the city’s procurement website as the CEO of the Advanced Integrated Technologies Corporation, which was awarded two technology contracts last year worth a total of $350,000.

The Washington Post and WTOP Radio report that the men are being held on bribery charges.

The outgoing Chief Technology Officer, Vivek Kundra, was appointed last week Chief Information Officer by the Obama administration. His last day at the city government office was March 4, a spokeswoman for D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Leslie Kershaw, said. He was appointed to the Washington post in 2007, and held it when Bansal’s contract was awarded.

“We know the FBI is over there but that’s all we know,” said a staffer in the D.C. CTO’s office, Mario Field, who was working from a separate location. Another source familiar with the raid said the FBI had sent all staffers other than senior executives home for the day. WTOP reported that agents are searching the 9th and 10th floors of the building.

A White House spokesman had no immediate comment.

More of that Chicago style politics coming to Washington D.C. 🙄

The American people got what they paid for; Well, I should say what the Arab countries paid for. Ever see Obama’s FEC records from the 2008 election? It is stunning.  Not to mention that fact that Obama’s campaign did not have any sort of verification in place to make sure names matched the credit card numbers.  Hell, for all we know Al-Qaeda elected our President!

Burris Bombshell!

Now this is going to leave a huge mark!

Via the Chicago Sun Times:

The son of embattled Sen. Roland Burris is a federal tax deadbeat who landed a $75,000-a-year state job under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich five months ago, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.

Blagojevich’s administration hired Roland W. Burris II as a senior counsel for the state’s housing authority Sept. 10 — about six weeks after the Internal Revenue Service slapped a $34,163 tax lien on Burris II and three weeks after a mortgage company filed a foreclosure suit on his South Side house.

A spokeswoman for the Illinois Housing Development Authority indicated Wednesday there was nothing improper about Burris II’s employment by the agency, whose mission includes overseeing mortgage programs for low-income home buyers and anti-foreclosure initiatives.

Burris II’s hiring, however, raises more questions about Sen. Burris’ interactions with Blagojevich and his inner circle at a time when the governor was soliciting Sen. Burris for campaign contributions and Burris was angling to have Blagojevich appoint him to the Senate seat once held by President Obama.

Blagojevich appointed Burris to that seat in late December after Blagojevich was charged with trying to sell the vacancy to the highest bidder.

Sen. Burris, 71, is fending off calls for his resignation and is the subject of a Senate ethics probe and a perjury investigation by the top prosecutor in Downstate Sangamon County. Those probes stem from conflicting testimony Sen. Burris provided to the House panel that drafted impeachment charges against Blagojevich, who was removed from office Jan. 29.

Separately, federal authorities have been investigating hiring decisions by Blagojevich’s administration. Authorities, however, have not expressed any interest in Burris II, Housing Development Authority spokeswoman Rebecca Boykin said.

“Roland Burris II was hired by the Illinois Housing Development Authority’s Legal Department based on his qualifications in response to a published job posting,” Boykin stated. “As an employer, it is not IHDA’s practice to request financial information from applicants.”

Sen. Burris’ office, Burris II and Sen. Burris’ lawyer, Timothy Wright III, did not return telephone calls and e-mails seeking comment. Blagojevich’s publicist also did not respond to questions about Burris II’s hiring.

Now if Burris does not resign after this little nugget of information becoming public, he is crazy. There’s no way that the Senate will allow him to stay. His creditability is shot! Should be really interesting to follow.
