President Trump Considering Labeling Antifa A Terrorist Organization

Via PJ Media

On Saturday afternoon, President Trump announced on Twitter he is considering labeling Antifa, the militant alt-left group that fancies itself as anti-fascist, as a terrorist organization.

This announcement comes on the heels of Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Bill Cassidy (D-La.) introducing a resolution condemning the group’s violent acts and calling on the United States to designate the group a domestic terrorist organization. “Antifa is a group of hateful, intolerant radicals who pursue their unhinged agenda through aggressive violence,” Cruz said in a statement last week. “Time and time again their actions have demonstrated that their only purpose is to inflict harm on those who oppose their views. The hate and violence they spread must be stopped…”

PBS Aired ‘Rat Film’ Documentary About Baltimore’s Rodent Problem in 2018

Via Breitbart

More than a year before Donald Trump criticized Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) in a tweet on Saturday for ignoring his Baltimore district’s “disgusting, rat and rodent-infested mess,” PBS aired a documentary titled Rat Film about the city’s rodent problem.
The Baltimore Sun reported on February 26, 2018, that the documentary “about Baltimore’s rodent fight” was scheduled “to air on PBS” that evening:

Across walls, fences, and alleys rats not only expose our boundaries of separation but make homes in them. “Rat Film” is a feature-length documentary that uses the rat—as well as the humans that love them, live with them, and kill them–to explore the history of Baltimore. “There’s never been a rat problem in Baltimore, it’s always been a people problem.”

“Rat Film,” a documentary that takes the decades-long fight waged against Baltimore’s rat population and uses it as a lens through which to look at how the city has addressed myriad social issues over the decades, airs tonight on PBS.

How Long Has Robert Mueller Been Like This?

Via The Federalist

Robert Mueller, in his current state, should not have been allowed to supervise the Russia collusion investigation. But the greater question is, how long has Robert Mueller been like this?

The regulation on the appointment of a Special Counsel provides that the person named as the Special Counsel “shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decision making, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government.” The regulation further provides that the Special Counsel’s responsibilities “shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.”

On July 24, 2019, Democrats staged vivid and irrefutable proof that the appointment of Robert Mueller came to violate these principles. Watching even a few minutes of the hearing testimony, it swiftly became apparent that the stammering and confused Robert Mueller lacked even a basic understanding of the underlying facts of the Russia collusion investigation.

After Mueller Debacle, Where Do Democrats Go?

By Patrick J. Buchanan

The Republican message of Wednesday: Proceed with hearings to impeach and there will be blood on the floor.

The Democrats who were looking to cast Robert Mueller as the star in a TV special, “The Impeachment of Donald Trump,” can probably tear up the script. They’re gonna be needing a new one.

For six hours Wednesday, as three cable news networks and ABC, CBS and NBC all carried live the hearings of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, the Mueller report was thoroughly trashed.

The special counsel stood by his findings. His investigation was not a “hoax” or “witch hunt,” he said. He admitted that he had found no Trump-Russia conspiracy. He denied he exonerated Trump of obstruction of justice.

All this we knew, and all of it we have heard for months.

What was new, what was dramatic, what was compelling was how the House Republicans arrived with their war paint on and ripped Mueller and his investigation to such shreds that viewers were feeling sorry for the special counsel at the end of his six hours of grilling.

The Republicans exposed him as only vaguely conversant with his own report. They revealed that he had probably not written his own statement challenging the depiction of his findings by Attorney General Bill Barr.

Mueller’s staff of lawyers, Republicans showed, reads like a donors list for Hillary Clinton. The FBI contingent that started the investigation was a cabal so hateful of Trump that some had to be fired.

Reparations and Racial Politicking

Via The American Thinker

With the second round of Democratic presidential debates upcoming on July 30-31 and with the ever-increasing support in the Democratic party — Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer having just added his endorsement — it is time to ask for more details concerning reparations, and, specifically, how will eligibility for reparations for African-Americans be determined?

As for racial politicking, the Democratic presidential race is already pointed toward the early primary in South Carolina on February 29 of next year, where black Democratic voters are an even more significant factor than in the national Democratic party. Black support is crucial to any of the Democratic presidential candidates, of course, but it is likely definitive to the candidacies of Kamala Harris and Cory Booker. And all the Democratic candidates have to do something about the continuing lead of Joe Biden in the polls. Racial politicking is one method they have chosen.

Thus, in the first presidential debates, Kamala Harris’ accused Joe Biden of almost being a racist for not supporting school busing 40 years ago — while introducing her attack by stating that she was not accusing him of being a racist. Likewise, Cory Booker, already a critic of Biden about race and specifically about Biden’s statements in the first presidential debate, has stated that he may step up that criticism at the next debates. After it was pointed out in a tweet by an obviously liberal African-American that Harris, the daughter of an Asian Indian mother and Jamaican father, was not an African-American, which was then retweeted by Donald Trump, Jr., the Democratic media together with the other Democratic presidential candidates immediately and vehemently responded that this was an accusation based on birtherism.

Schumer says that “we need to do a lot more” about the “legacy” not just of slavery but also of “Jim Crow.”
