“Two days ago, ABC News reported that Vester Flanagan, the murderer of two WDBJ employees, sent a 23-page faxed manifesto to ABC News. ABC reported bits and pieces of the manifesto. Yet we still haven’t seen the full document. ABC hasn’t made it available. Why?
John Nolte and others have been busy hammering away at the racial hypocrisy of many in the media after treating Flanagan’s crimes very differently from Dylann Roof’s. Unquestionably, they were both racially motivated. But you’d never know that from reading the headlines in the Washington Post or other mouthpieces that enable the (one way) racial grievance industry.”
“Some of them are particularly dishonest brokers when it comes to reporting on the racist motives of evil wrongdoers. Nolte:
A CBS report never mentioned the shooter’s racial comments at all. The piece did tiptoe around the shooter’s problems with race in two paragraphs, but never actually stated his race rhetoric seen in the explicit terms revealed in his manifesto.
Then, a piece in the Chicago Tribune called the killer “off kilter” and “bizarre” but steered clear of fully reporting on his racist ideas.
One reporter, The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel, even took to Twitter to wring his hands over the reporting of Flanagan’s racist manifesto, saying to Breitbart’s John Nolte, “Do you worry at all that the ‘race war’ story does what the killer wanted?”
To be sure, Weigel was far less worried about stirring racial strife when he wrote a Bloomberg piece dissecting the racial motives of Charleston killer Dylann Roof.”
“The Public Interest Legal Foundation, of which PJ Media’s J. Christian Adams is president, has done admirable work in convincing the country that voter fraud is a widespread problem and an embarrassment to the country. We need clean voter rolls and Voter ID now, and an end to this cavalier attitude towards securing our fundamental right.
This morning, they circulated the following release:
(Alexandria, VA) – August 27 The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has put 141 counties on notice across the United States that they have more registered voters than people alive. PILF has sent 141 statutory notice letters to county election officials in 21 states. The letters are a prerequisite to bringing a lawsuit against those counties under Section 8 of the federal National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
The letters inform the target counties that it appears they are violating the NVRA because they are not properly maintaining the voter rolls. The NVRA (also known as Motor Voter) requires state and local election officials to properly maintain voter rolls and ensure that only eligible voters are registered to vote. Having more registrants than eligible citizens alive indicates that election officials have failed to properly maintain voter rolls.
States with counties which received a notice letter are (# of counties): Michigan (24), Kentucky (18), Illinois (17), Indiana (11), Alabama (10), Colorado (10), Texas (9), Nebraska (7), New Mexico (5), South Dakota (5), Kansas (4), Mississippi (4), Louisiana (3), West Virginia (3), Georgia (2), Iowa (2), Montana (2), North Carolina (2), Arizona, Missouri, New York (1 each). Federally produced data show the letter recipients have more registrants than living eligible citizens alive. (A sample letter is can be found here.)”
No, some entrepeneur will open the Old Dixie Highway Grill. We had something similar happen here when a major north/south road needed to be widened from 2 lanes to 4. The county gave it to the state so it went from being County Hwy 27 to State Hwy 181. A guy opened “The Old 27 Grill” for those who just can’t call it Hwy 181″
If I hadn’t already given up on the country, this election would really make me sad. The Democrats must choose between:
1. The most distrusted woman in America;
2. An admitted socialist; and
3. A 72 year old goofball who isn’t sure he even wants to run.
Unfortunately, Idiocracy has spread to the Red States and all we hear about on the Republican side is Donald Trump.
Three top Jeb Bush fundraisers abruptly parted ways with his presidential campaign on Friday, amid internal personality conflicts and questions about the strength of his candidacy, POLITICO has learned.

I’m reading Kirsten Powers’ “The Silencing” — it’s excellence, read it if you haven’t already.
She chronicles numerous examples of what she calls the “illiberal left” trend of demonizing and shutting down those who speak political or social heresy. Many of these folks wage war against the heretics with sexism and racism, but they’re never called on it.
Donna – I have a feeling that the particular liberals I know on Facebook would be more offended than educated by that book, or the similar articles I’ve shared. They would be offended that one is being so partisan as to be “picking on” liberals. (Yeah, quite ironic, dontcha think?)
I had shared an article with one of those liberal friends that made a good case for whatever the issue was (it wasn’t one of the big hot-button issues like same-sex marriage or abortion). She pointed out the “gratuitous dig at the left”, & dismissed the rest of the article. I re-read the article to see what she was talking about.
There was one mention of the left, something like “The left wants us to think _____________, but they’re wrong.” Pretty minor stuff when you consider some of the really nasty stuff being written on social media & other online sources.
I replied that if I didn’t read anything by my liberal friends that had “gratuitous digs at the right,” I wouldn’t be able to read much of their stuff at all. 🙂 (I don’t think she got the point.)
The polls still favor clinton over the republican field. Surprisingly biden performs better. Rubio, kaisch and walker are the closest. Sanders beats trump but not the others although he is getting closer. Hes also getting closer to clinton. Sanders is slowly but surely catching up.http://reverbpress.com/politics/bernie-iowa-poll-closes-lead/
An outdated registry with dead people isn’t proof of fraud; only the dead forgot to notify the correct authorities. If a Daley is running for mayor, we might worry otherwise this is an example of bureaucratic inertia.
Powers is a really admirable person. A recent convert to Christianity, she is still liberal on most issues. Nonetheless, she is able to see that most of the effort to silence points of view comes from the left. This is nowhere more true than at colleges.
I saw Michelle Malkin speaking at Cal Berkeley on CSpan a while back. You could barely hear her fror the screaming from the leftist thugs outside the building. It reminded me of when I went to hear Alan Dershowitz speaking at TCU. He really seemed scared of “the Texans” in the audience. Most of us thought he was a communist, but we gave him polite applause and asked polite questions. Southern hospitality.
HRW, I think some people regard Biden as Obama’s harmless goofy sidekick, while almost everyone understands that Hillary is evil, unpleasant and incompetent.
Sanders and Trump bear watching. The U.S. is beginning to resemble the Weimar Republic. Perversion dominates while huge numbers of people turn to socialism and others prefer a demagogic egomaniac.
Karen, you’re undoubtedly right (about liberals not accepting the criticism contained in “The Silencing”). A few do, but unfortunately most remain entirely obtuse. 🙂
Academia is essentially lost to the ‘silencing’ trend. She mentioned how some in academia & the media are afraid to let co-workers know their orthodox/conservative Christians, for example. Many who spoke with her didn’t want their names used, saying they’d be ostracized in their careers.
And the fact that Powers appears on Fox makes her a target for attack (same with Juan Williams, of course, whom Powers write about also).
