• Clinton Emails Show ‘Free Speech’ in Jeopardy

    An email dump recently released by Wikileaks reveals that in 2009 as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton refused to help talk show host Michael Savage, after he was banned from travelling to the United Kingdom. The UK forbid Savage from visiting because authorities claimed his speech, based on his anti-Islamic radical point of view, might spark violence.

    Further, the emails show that Hillary thinks Savage should suffer the same fate, here in America. It also proves how dangerous a Hillary Clinton administration would be to the U.S. Constitution.

    This is what L staff, in coordination with EUR, have said to Savage’s lawyer: The demarche was delivered Friday in London, to FCO and Home Office officials. The Embassy passed your letter to them, drawing their attention in particular to Mr. Savage’s statement that he had never advocated violence and that his statements had never instigated violence. The British officials said that, given Mr. Savage’s legal action in the UK, Treasury solicitors would contact his legal representatives directly to provide details of the comments that had given rise to the decision to exclude him.

    On Michael Savage:

    Joan wanted everyone to clearly understand before any further discussion occurred with UK that Savage’s exclusion could also have occurred under our legal regime so to the extent we want to suggest to UK that his exclusion on free speech grounds is inappropriate (or any thing of that like) that we should understand we may appear slightly hypocritical given our legal regime and actions.

    Joan makes good points. Let’s hold on doing anything until we all talk.

    What makes this so nefarious is that the Progressive media is talking about everything but this and acting as if the same could never happen to them.

  • Edwin Wayne Bettega III,1984-2016

    Edwin and I became friends following his mother and my classmate, Patsy Bettega’s death. He reach out to me through social media after reading my memorial to his mom.

    He took her passing fairly hard and I don’t think he ever really recovered from the shock of it. And since I know that feeling all to well, we spent time chatting online, dealing with the pain and grief that comes with such a loss.

    He was living and going to school in Phoenix, Arizona the last year of his life and the last couple of months, Edwin had been ill, in and out of the hospital, battling some sort of lung and kidney ailment. Unfortunately, he lost that fight, passing away at the age of 32, in Henderson, Nevada, October 12, 2016.

    Edwin was born April 7, 1984 in Crescent City, California and is to be laid to rest next to his mom in the IOOF Memorial Cemetery. He’s survived by his sister Natasha, and uncle’s Randy and Bert Steele.

    Rest in peace, my friend, and give your momma a big hug for me.

     

  • California Recycling Cops Bust Aluminum Smuggling Ring

    The California Department of Justice has arrested 11 people in connection with two recycling fraud investigations, involving Reno-to-Sacramento area routes. They claim that each case involved the collection, illegal transport, and fraudulent redemption of out-of-state used beverage containers through the California Redemption Value program.

    During the course of two investigations, agents observed multiple loads of used beverage containers being loaded into rented moving trucks in Reno. The suspects took the material across state lines using routes designed to avoid required stops at the checkpoint in Truckee.

    In June, CalRecycle says search warrants were served at two Sacramento locations, and at one location in Carson City. The suspects face charges of conspiracy, felony recycling fraud and grand theft auto.

    Meanwhile, as the State protects its citizens from recycling fraud, Progressive elites in Sacrament are moving ahead with a plan to allow illegal aliens to obtain Obamacare.

  • The Truth About Trump’s Nevada Pronunciation

    Years ago my high school journalism teacher told me, “Reporting is really nothing more than gathering the facts and telling the truth. The rest is simply the mechanics of writing it down in an understandable format.”

    Oh, if it were really all that simple these days…

    “New York native Donald Trump’s latest campaign swing through Nevada included a so-called ‘lecture’ to supporters at a rally in Reno about the correct way to pronounce the name of their state. He insists its ‘Neh-VAH-da.’

    “During a rally in Reno, Donald Trump committed one of Nevada’s deadliest political sins – he mispronounced the state’s name.”

    “At a campaign rally in Reno, Donald Trump pronounces “Nevada” incorrectly while explaining to the crowd how to pronounce it.”

    Those are but a sample of story ledes filed by so-called ‘journalists’ who claimed to have been at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center Wednesday afternoon to report on Trump’s speech. It’s obvious that they’re in the gutter for Hillary Clinton once it’s learned Trump pronounced Nevada correctly within the first 11 words he spoke.

    Trump brought up all the particulars that have filled his campaign speeches, stadiums and arenas in the past, including immigration, taxes, regulations, trade, national debt, refugees, veterans, Obamacare and the 2nd Amendment. However, very little of this made the various news outlets, locally, regionally or nationally.

    What the Progressive media doesn’t want you to know is that when Trump first mentioned Clinton’s name, the crowd of nearly 3,000 people broke out in a chant, saying: “Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!”

    This is why Hillary’s lapdogs, the Progressive media smear Trump at every turn.

  • Court Rules States Must Accept Syrian Refugees

    A federal appeals court ruled on Monday that states that refuse to resettle Syrian Muslim refugees are guilty of illegal discrimination. Judge Richard Posner, writing for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, claims there’s no evidence that these Muslims are more dangerous than other refugees.

    Judge Posner claimed he had discovered no evidence in the public record of any Syrian refugees who have been arrested or prosecuted for terrorist acts in the U.S. Immigrant rights and civil liberties groups cheered the judge’s decision, saying it reaffirms the U.S. commitment to refugees.

    Posner didn’t address the case of Sacramento, California resident Aws Younis Mohammed Al-Jayab, who is charged by federal authorities with returning to Syria to fight for the terror group Ansar al-Islam. Though Al-Jayab is an Iraqi, he was approved as a refugee while living in Syria in 2012.

    A number of states balked last year when President Obama announced he wanted to accept some 10,000 Syrian refugees in fiscal year 2016. The administration blew past that goal, with a final tally of 12,587 Syrians as of Friday, which marked the last day of the fiscal year.

    President Obama has set a goal for resettling 110,000 refugees total in 2017 — up from 85,000 the previous year and 70,000 in 2015. Only about seven-percent of applicants from Syria have had their refugee requests rejected.

    Last Friday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott followed through on his promise to pull his state from the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program. In the past year more than 6,700 refugees resettled in Texas — nine percent of the total coming into the U.S.

    Refugee resettlement in Texas is funded by the federal government, but managed by the state. Texas will continue to manage the federal program until January 31, 2017.

    Posner’s opinion was joined by Judges Frank Easterbrook and Diane Sykes. If Sykes’ name seems familiar, it because she’s on Donald Trump’s supreme Court shortlist.

  • The Trail Between Taxes, Bail-outs, Endorsements and Donations

    The Progressive media is in a tizzy because Donald Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns as reported by the New York Times (NYT.) Hypocritically, the NYT recieved a tax refund of $3.6 million despite having a $29.9 million pretax profit in 2014 and Hillary Clinton used the same federal law to “avoid” paying taxes on nearly $700,000 in 2015.

    And there are a lot more companies that have done the same — and all of them have either donated to the Clinton campaign, her family foundation and/or have received money from the ‘Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008:’

    • Bank of America got a whopping $1.9 billion refund from the IRS despite making $4.4 billion in profit in 2010.
    • Boeing made over $20 billion in profits between 2008 and 2012 and paid an overall income tax rate of negative one percent during those years.
    • Citigroup paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2010 despite making profits in excess of $4 billion.
    • Corning made over $3.4 billion in profits and got a $10 million tax refund, paying a 0.1 percent federal tax rate in 2008 and 2012.
    • FedEx made $2.7 billion in profit, yet they were given a $135 million tax refund from the IRS in 2011.
    • General Electric posted $33.9 billion in U.S. profits, yet somehow got $2.9 billion in refunds in 2008 and 2012.
    • Honeywell paid $0 in federal income taxes and got roughly $510 million in refunds in 2009 and 2010.
    • Merck pocketed $5.7 billion in profits, yet paid $0 in federal taxes in 2009.
    • Pfizer paid $0 in federal income tax between 2010 and 2012 and getting a $2.2 billion tax refund despite posting $43 billion in global profits.
    • Verizon pocketed over $30 billion in profits and paid a tax rate of -1.8 percent, between 2008 and 2012.

    The fact that the NYT published part of the tax returns of a private citizen to score political points for Hillary Clinton, whom they endorse, should be the real headline.

  • The Coming Death of the First Amendment

    The Federal Elections Commission plans to ban certain media outlets with any foreign ownership from covering presidential races or even giving endorsements. A top Democrat on the evenly-split split board proposed that the group begin the process of prohibiting companies with foreign ownership as small as five-percent.

    “Given everything we have learned this year, it blinks reality to suggest that that there is no risk of foreign nationals taking advantage of current loopholes to intercede invisibly in American elections. This is a risk no member of the Federal Election Commission should be willing to tolerate.” — Democratic Commissioner Ellen Weintraub.

    Several media giants have at least five percent foreign ownership, some with as much as 25 percent, including News Corp, which owns Fox, the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Not only would this prohibit media from becoming involved, but politically active companies like Ben & Jerry’s would also be prohibited.

    Adds a new level of meaning to the old 80’s Valley Girl saw: ‘Gag me with a spoon!”

  • Respecting Women – the Misogynistic Way

    There’s a lot of information the Progressive media is refusing to report about former ‘Miss Universe’ Alicia Machado, turned Clintonista surrogate. For starters, Machado claims she was “fat-shamed” by Donald Trump back in 1996, but that’s been dismissed as a rumor started by the Clinton campaign through the Twitter-verse.

    Two year after supposedly being shamed, Machado was accused of helping her boyfriend Juan Rodriguez Reggeti kill his brother-in-law, Francisco Sbert Moukso and kidnap his 11-month-old nephew. She is also accused of threatening to kill Judge Maximiliano Fuenmayor if he indicted Rodriguez.

    Then in 2010, the Mexican attorney general’s office said Machado was romantically involved and had a daughter with drug lord, Jose Gerardo Alvarez Vazquez, also known as “El Indio.” The allegation came from a witness who testified the two were romantically linked.

    This witness said El Indio and several other known drug-traffickers attended Machado’s daughter’s baptism in 2008. The witness — who went into protection soon after giving this testimony — was shot and killed at a café in Mexico City in 2009.

    Machado has since denied these reports. She now claims her daughter’s father is a well-respected businessman – but she won’t name him.

    In 2005, she admitted to cheating on her fiancé in a reality show porn video. And if you simply search the Internet using the term ‘Alicia Machado porn,’ snippets of adult films starring Machado are available on multiple websites for free.

    All this come to light as the Clinton campaign enlists Katy Perry and Madonna to shed their clothing, in a sorry attempt to excite Millennials into voting. Of course, the Progressive media is treating their actions as uplifting for the cause of women everywhere.

    And while I’m glad HRC didn’t decide to get out there and ‘rock the vote,’ along side the two pop music icons — it’s obvious who the real misogynist is in this presidential campaign and it ain’t Trump.

  • I’m Tired of Being the Guilty White Man

    All of my life I’ve been made to feel ashamed of being White because of the ignorant actions of other guy people’s hatred of people’s of color or religion, etc. Now I’m perplexed — I am watching and in doing so — feeling threatened by the ignorant actions of people of color and a religion that wants to kill me because I refuse to submit to it.

    What the fuck am I supposed to do? Do I stand by and continue feeling ashamed of the ignorant on both sides or do I stand by and put a stop to it? When can I remove the shackles of my shame and call a Nigger and Nigger or a Muslim terrorist and Muslim terrorist? And will any Black man or woman stand with me? Will any Muslim man or woman stand with me?

    This morning I watched a video from Charlottesville, North Carolina, where a ‘pack’ of Black people chased down a single White man inside a parking garage as he pleaded with them to leave him alone. I thought we had outgrown these sort of actions as a nation, but I am seeing that we have not.

    It is not that I want to go to war with anyone who disagrees with me – but I certainly will not roll over and play the submissive because you think you and you’re belief system has been wronged by a group of people who happens to look like me. Recent actions by groups of color and/or religion have made it hard not to lump everyone into the same shit-pile.

    So if you don’t want to be in that shit-pile, than you’d best open your mouth, lift a hand, and do what is fucking needed to stop what the radical two-percent are doing to our nation. I need to see you respond against these atrocities that are violating our Constitutional, God-fearing society.

    If not, do not expect my finger to avoid the trigger or my weapon to stay on safety.

  • The Pissed Off Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps

    A Marine Warrant Officer was in the check-out line of the Base Exchange and put his cover (hat in civilian terms) on inside. He was approached by a Second Lieutenant, who asked him to remove it.

    The Warrant Officer became defensive and asked the Second Lieutenant, “Who the eff are you?”

    The Lieutenant then got into the Warrant Officer’s face and told him to have some respect and remove the cover. The situation quickly escalated into a vulgar cussing match.

    From somewhere in the back of the store, there was a loud roar from a Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, who bellowed, “Both of you — shut your mouth there are families present!”

    The place fell silent as the Sergeant Major came to the front, cut through the line, and grabbed both of the Marines by the collar, half-dragging them out of the building. Once out side, the Sergeant Major was heard: “What the fuck is the issue between you two Morons?!”

    No one could hear what either officer had to say for themselves. And though we shot glances at one another, no one spoke, save for the civilian cashiers, who could only muster a slight whisper as they rang up our purchases.
