American Spectator, by Ben Stein Original Article Posted By: garnet- 10/3/2017 8:52:32 AM Post Reply Long ago and far away, in the early 1950s, I was a small child on street called Harvey Road, in Silver Spring, Maryland. At that time, Silver Spring was a small town. Now it’s the second biggest city in Maryland. Our street was about half-Jewish and half-Christian. Indeed, it had been developed with lovely mid-century modern houses on treed lots because so many of the other neighborhoods nearby did not allow Jews to live on them. That was real racism, not “microaggressions” such as we see now. This wasn’t micro. It was macro.

Dismissing as inadequate calls for prayers for the victims by President Donald Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Jimmy Kimmel Live host said: “they should be praying for God to forgive them for letting the gun lobby run this country.” Kimmel railed against lawmakers who “won’t do anything about this because the NRA has their balls in a money clip,” insisting that their Facebook admits it promoted fake Vegas massacre stories New York Post, by Joe Tacopino Original Article Posted By: mc squared- 10/3/2017 8:44:09 AM Post Reply Facebook admitted Monday that its system automatically promoted stories that falsely identified the shooter in the Las Vegas massacre. The social network said links from Web sites such as “The Gateway Pundit” and others were posted and spread across their site Sunday night. The stories claimed that the shooter was an “anti-Trump” Democrat and displayed pictures of a man who is not identified as a suspect. In a statement, Facebook said, “We are working to fix the issue that allowed this to happen in the first place and deeply regret the confusion this caused.” R-G6-LC R-LU-C1 GOP establishment doubts Bannon’s primary powers The Hill, by Ben Kamisar Original Article Posted By: tisHimself- 10/3/2017 8:25:09 AM Post Reply Establishment Republicans are skeptical that former judge Roy Moore’s victory in last week’s Alabama GOP primary runoff means that an alliance of insurgent conservative groups, led by former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon, are about to knock off more Republican incumbents. Bannon and his allies have used Moore’s Tuesday night victory over the establishment-backed Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) as a springboard to float challenges against a fleet of Republican incumbents. Bannon and his allies see the wind at their backs after a unified and high-profile push, arguing that the win means that no incumbent is safe.

Because if it is unable to perform the basic task of ensuring that the people commissioned to lead our troops in the defense of the United States are actually loyal to the United States, how the hell can we reasonably expect it to be able to conduct high-intensity combat operations against a Nork Army that prioritizes fighting over political correctness? We can’t.

To answer that question, one would have to know precisely what the protests are about. But so far the various reasons advanced are both confused and without much merit. That is why the players will eventually stand for the anthem before their tragic incoherence loses them both their fans and their jobs with it.

Gateway Pundit, by Jim Hoft Original Article Posted By: chicodon- 10/3/2017 7:09:42 AM Post Reply On Sunday night a crazed shooter slaughtered over 50 people at a Las Vegas country music festival. Another 400 people were injured. A gunman opened fire on the crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival next to the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas. As details emerge the shooting is unlike any event in US history. David French at National Review reported: It certainly sounds as if the shooter used either fully-automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons modified (through, for example, a bump fire stock) to closely simulate automatic fire. Moreover, the police are reporting that Two Republican parties confront each other – and tax reform McClatchy Newspapers, by Andrew Malcolm Original Article Posted By: SurferLad- 10/3/2017 7:06:08 AM Post Reply The media news narrative exiting Alabama’s GOP Senate runoff was that the selection of firebrand Judge Roy Moore as the Republican candidate for the December general election will probably cause radical changes in his party’s control of the U.S. Senate. Hold on. There are certain to be changes that complicate Republicans’ midterm election outlook. But they’re actually due to a variety of unusual reasons including chronic party disunity, not just Moore’s likely arrival on Capitol Hill come January.

First, as I note in the title of this post, my observations are based on early reports, and early reports are often wrong. Second, do not read this post as implying any sort of conspiracy theory of any kind. I’m merely noting the facts as we currently understand them — and how they differ from recent mass shootings. As virtually everyone has noted from the abundant video footage of the incident, it certainly sounds as if the shooter used either fully-automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons modified (through, for example, a bump The Consequences of Media Weaponized Hatred Jewish World Review, by Alicia Colon Original Article Posted By: Drive- 10/3/2017 7:01:45 AM Post Reply As police try to find answers to why Stephen Paddock allegedly shot and killed 59 people and wounded over 500 at a country music concert in Las Vegas, the liberal media amps up its tired mantra against guns. Democrats immediately called for more gun laws while the latest Reuters report claims that ISIS is claiming shooter was a recent Islam convert. Meanwhile all opinion pundits are pontificating on why this happened. I´ll wait until all the facts are in but I will say this; gun laws would NOT have prevented the Las Vegas carnage and the liberal response to the tragic murders is B-G1-LC ‘Everyone is dying’: Survivors describe scene of terror, heroism New York Post, by Ruth Brown, Amanda Woods Original Article Posted By: FlyRight- 10/3/2017 6:51:35 AM Post Reply Shaken survivors of the Vegas massacre described a scene of both desperation and courage — with terrified concertgoers heroically aiding each other, first responders using luggage carts as gurneys, and cops hunting the gunman under a hail of bullets.“I saw guys plugging bullet holes with their fingers,” one witness, Russell Bleck, told NBC’s “Today” show.

A government lawyer said that when Abu Khattala’s hatred of America boiled over, he orchestrated the attacks and then triumphantly strode around the attack site carrying an AK-47. Assistant U.S. attorney John Crabb said that later, the defendant was heard at his apartment saying: “I attacked the American embassy” and would have killed more Americans that night if others had not intervened. A A rash of Rs in New England American Thinker, by Silvio Canto, Jr. Original Article Posted By: JoniTx- 10/3/2017 6:43:56 AM Post Reply It wasn´t long ago that we were told that New England was gone for the GOP. I remember a Democrat friend showing me a regional map that was blue all around. He pretty much told me that it was over the GOP except the South. Well, something is happening in New England and it´s red, not blue, as Salena Zito just wrote: Last November, while most of the country was either cheering Donald Trump’s presidential win or making an appointment with their therapist about how to cope with the results, New Englanders in four out of the region’s six “blue” Lots Of Presidents Talked About Getting Rid Of Bad Regulations — Trump Is Actually Doing It Investor’s Business Daily, by Staff Original Article Posted By: RockyTCB- 10/3/2017 6:30:20 AM Post Reply Regulation: Getting rid of unneeded regulations may be the single-most effective spur to economic growth that´s available to the federal government. Thankfully, unlike most recent presidents, President Trump is taking the job of cutting bad regulations seriously. That can be evidenced by the special "Deregulation Day" that Trump declared for his "cut the red tape" event on Monday. Hey, if you didn´t know it was Deregulation Day, you´re not alone. Still, the president seems to be pushing a minor revolution of sorts, as he repeals all sorts of rules that once impeded the economy. And he´s not done yet. The Competitive Enterprise The FTC Raided My Office, Found Nothing, And Is Destroying My Business Anyway Investor’s Business Daily, by Robert Cupo Original Article Posted By: RockyTCB- 10/3/2017 6:26:56 AM Post Reply Without due process or conviction in a court of law, the government is destroying my family´s business. In early May, federal investigators raided my small tech-support company, Vylah Tec LLC, d/b/a "V-Tec," on suspicion of "deceptive" sales practices. The raid was part of a politically hyped campaign by the Federal Trade Commission with the Florida Attorney General´s office, dubbed Operation Tech Trap, to "crack down on tech-support scams." The problem: My business is not a scam. V-Tec operates out of a single office in Fort Myers, Fla.

It´s one that President Trump´s critics have fully embraced as they try to use Puerto Rico´s struggles to recover from Hurricane Maria as a political weapon. Based on much of the coverage of the Trump administration´s response to Maria, you´d think it was Trump´s fault that Puerto Rico is an island 1,000 miles off the coast of Miami where supplies can only arrive by air or sea, which was impossible immediately after the storm because the ports and airports were The Greatest Libel since the Blood Libel Creators Syndicate, by Dennis Prager Original Article Posted By: Pluperfect- 10/3/2017 5:02:53 AM Post Reply The most infamous libel in history is the one known as the Blood Libel. This was the medieval lie leveled at Jews in some European countries that accused the Jews of killing Christian children to use their blood to make Passover matzo. (Snip)But perhaps the second greatest libel — and certainly the most widespread — is that America is a racist country that oppresses its minorities and women. We can call it the American Libel. Now, I hasten to add that no one is being tortured to death as a result of this libel, as Jews were because of the Heroes of the Vegas massacre: The fireman who was shot in the chest while giving CPR, the ex-marine who stole a truck to take victims to hospital and the copy repairman who saved 30 before being shot in the neck Daily Mail [UK], by Mary Kekatos Original Article Posted By: Pluperfect- 10/3/2017 4:58:57 AM Post Reply Dozens of stories of heroism have emerged amid the horrifying mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday. Authorities say that at least 59 are dead and 527 are injured after 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. But the number of casualties could have been much higher had it not been for the brave few that helped first responders tend to the wounded.

"You don´t like your voice. You like the thing you´re told to like," Michelle scolded. Clinton maintained that women had caved under pressure, from fathers and husbands and boyfriends and bosses, who told them never to vote for "the girl." Other feminists have said that they were racist in supporting white men over sisters "of color;" or opportunists in clinging to men who B-G1-LC2 Supreme Double Standard Weekly Standard, by Editors Original Article Posted By: MissMolly- 10/3/2017 4:47:03 AM Post Reply “To preserve our civil liberties,” Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch remarked in an address last week, “we have to constantly work on being civil with one another. . . . In a very real way, self-governance turns on our ability to try to treat—to try at least to treat—others as our equals, as persons, with the courtesy and respect each person deserves, even when we disagree.” Gorsuch was speaking at a luncheon celebrating the Fund for American Studies on its 50th anniversary. We included excerpts of the address in our print magazine.

Although emotionally satisfying, one of these responses makes it nearly impossible for the country to engage in any kind of useful discussion moving forward. No doubt, there is immense frustration after a mass shooting, and this looks to be the most deadly in American history. The unstated reality is that many Roman Polanski Finally Admits To Child Rape But Says, “It’s Over” Hot Air, by Jazz Shaw Original Article Posted By: MissMolly- 10/3/2017 4:29:27 AM Post Reply For reasons which escape me in the 21st century when talking about relations with countries which are supposed to be our allies, noted pedophile and convicted child rapist Roman Polanski is giving interviews from the Zurich Film Festival rather than the bottom level of some dank dungeon. Usually, when the “uncomfortable” subject of his monstrous crimes against children are brought up, the director waves questions off and doesn’t comment. On this occasion, however, as his attorneys press his case to be allowed to return to the United States without having to go to jail, he actually responded to a reporter. Couple admits fleecing Amazon out of $1.2M in merchandise Newser, by Linda Hervieux Original Article Posted By: Pluperfect- 10/3/2017 4:26:23 AM Post Reply An Indiana couple has admitted stealing more than $1.2 million in merchandise from Amazon in an elaborate scheme. Erin Joseph Finan, 38, and Leah Jeanette Finan, 37, pleaded guilty in federal court in Indianapolis to charges of mail fraud and money laundering in connection with the racket, the Star Press reports. The duo bought hundreds of electronics such as Go Pro cameras, Samsung smartwatches, and Xboxes, then told Amazon the products weren´t working and requested replacements at no charge. The couple created "hundreds" of false identities to conceal the scam.
