Police kill a white teen, and the silence raises questions
Many of us are just hearing about the police shooting that claimed the life of19-year-old Zachary Hammond on July 26.
The news lands with that familiar, convulsive ache that the death of young people brings. That a year of police-involved killings has given us.
The teenager, on a first date, was stopped in the parking lot of a Seneca, S.C., Hardee’s during a drug bust, and the officer contends he fired in self-defense as Hammond tried to run him over. His 23-year-old date was charged with possession of 10 grams (.35 ounces) of marijuana. And it feels like a life gone over so much nothing.
Yet Hammond’s killing, under cloudy circumstances — a police report never mentions the fatal gunshots — has not sparked national protests. It has not pricked us the way Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Walter Scott, Tamir Rice, John Crawford, Brandon Jones, Eric Harris and Freddie Gray did. The way the killing of Samuel DuBose most recently and under the most similar circumstances did. (DuBose was also behind the wheel; the Cincinnati officer who shot him alleged that DuBose was dragging him as he was taking off.)
Hammond’s family contends that the unequal outrage is because Hammond is white.

“It’s sad, but I think the reason is, unfortunately, the media and our government officials have treated the death of an unarmed white teenager differently than they would have if this were a death of an unarmed black teen,” the family’s attorney, Eric Bland, told my colleague Abby Phillip this week. “The hypocrisy that has been shown toward this is really disconcerting.”
Unlike the high-profile cases, no video has surfaced, so there is no objective standard of truth to judge the shooting against. That aside,

OBAMA PROVIDING EXTRA MILLION ALIEN WORK PERMITS ANNUALLY
The Obama administration has issued more than 7.4 million work permits to foreign nationals from 2009 – 2014, beyond the approximately one million lawful permanent residents and 700,000 foreign guest workers admitted to the U.S. each year.In written responses to the Senate Judiciary Immigration and the National Interest Subcommittee Republicans obtained by Breitbart News, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services reveal that the Obama administration has been approving work authorizations for immigrants beyond admission limits and for some categories of immigrants that Congress never intended to work in the U.S.
Green card holders and foreign nationals on guest worker visas do not need work authorizations.
Beyond those limits each year, these new and renewed work permit approvals amounted to about 1.23 million in fiscal year 2009, 1.08 million in FY 2010, 970,277 in FY 2011, 1.24 million in FY 2012, 1.68 million in FY 2013 and 1.24 million in FY 2014.
Such categories of immigrants that received permits include: Illegal immigrants granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, immigrants granted Temporary Protective Status (TPS), spouses of guest workers, various types of foreign students, immigrants granted voluntary departure, parolees, as well as asylees and refugees.
Further, more than 113,800 individuals with final orders of deportation also were...

1st Republican Debate Winners/Losers
The Winners:
Donald Trump - This is how you do it weasel Republicans.
Ted Cruz - This guy is always on, and his record is bulletproof.
Marco Rubio - This guy is polished, his views on immigration is dramatically improved.
Rising:
Scott Walker - This Forum was not conducive to getting out his message
John Kasich - Had a chance to have his resume known
Stayed Even:
Mike Huckabee - Started out highly ranked
Chris Christie - He hurt Rand Paul, Rand Paul hurt him with the "Hug" reference
Falling:
Jeb Bush - looked awkward
The Losers:
Ben Carson - was not polished, seemed unprepared
Rand Paul - Trump and Christie pounded him but he made good points about the 4th amendment, right message, wrong guy.
Every single one of these guys would be dramatically better than Hillary Clinton or the Disaster known as Barack Obama.
EDIT:
So I am listening to Fox News, they really do not like trump, I don;t want him to be president, but i love the red meat coming from him. The hosts clearly were going after trump and I heard a story that Murdoch hates trump. No matter what fox says, trump did fine.
My two top picks for president? Cruz and then Walker.

IT’S TIME TO CALL OUT BLACK RACISM
The media erupted in outrage over trucks flying Confederate flags passing by a black birthday party but continued praising the racist #BlackLivesMatter movement whose tactics include harassing white people by invading “white spaces” and intimidating people trying to eat lunch. A perfect inversion of the sit-ins at lunch counters fifty years ago. Those were a moral crusade to make a space for blacks at the table. This is a racist attack to make whites leave the tableBut in the topsy-turvy race world we have come to inhabit, it is not racism when black racists do it.
Since the Ferguson riots, America has been suffering from a violent outbreak of anti-white racism. It’s time to call it what it is.
If white mobs harassed black people, screamed racist slogans and claimed that even the existence of black people was oppressive, no one would hesitate to describe that ugliness as racism. When #BlackLivesMatter racists do it, it’s excused, defended and even praised as a civil rights movement.
Racism is not civil rights. No group that talks about “white supremacy”, “white privilege” or “white spaces” is a civil rights movement.
It is a racist movement, and anti-civil rights.
Black racism hides behind alleged victimhood. Every act of bigotry, from name-calling to race riots to murder, is justified by the claim that every single white person is part of a conscious or unconscious conspiracy to discriminate against them. This claim, embodied by the racist term “White Privilege”, is classic racism. White people are not responsible for the fact that homicide is the number one cause of death for black males. White people do not sit around conspiring to deny black people jobs. If there is a job problem in the black community in America today it is because of the anti-business policies of a black president and the worst economic recovery on record.
#BlackLivesMatter activists are not victims of racism, they are perpetrators of racism. That is why they reject “All Lives Matter” and insist that only “Black Lives Matter”. Every victimhood excuse made to defend this racist disdain for other races is a lie. The truth is that to black nationalists, only black lives matter. #BlackLivesMatter means that non-black lives don’t and that is the root of its racist violence.
Americans hesitate to call out this vile bigotry because they...
8 Things Obama Got Terribly Wrong on the Iran Deal
Unfortunately for the White House, Obama’s charm offensive won’t solve the major flaws in the Iran deal.
1. The president stated, “Between now and the congressional vote in September, you are going to hear a lot of arguments against this deal, backed by tens of millions of dollars in advertising.”
This assertion is flat-out wrong.
If the substance of the deal were better, the administration wouldn’t have the problems it now has getting congressional support, along with the support of the American people (a majority of Americans, and Israelis for that matter, continue to favor a diplomatic solution).
The administration negotiated a bad deal, and now a majority of Americans and Congress oppose it.
2. “This is the strongest nonproliferation agreement ever negotiated,” commented the president.
In reality, the Iran deal undermines previous U.S. nonproliferation policy by rewarding decades of covert and illegal nuclear activities by Iran, including those involving weapons.
3. The deal “permanently prohibits Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,” alleges Obama.
Such a belief betrays an unreasonable degree of optimism that Iran will follow the letter of the deal and will not change its mind in the next 15 years.
The deal only slows down Iran’s drive toward a nuclear weapon, and a majority of the deal’s restrictive provisions expire after 15 years.
This means Iran will gradually be able to increase its nuclear material stockpile and advance its enrichment technologies.
Billions of dollars of unfrozen assets, along with access to advanced technologies, will make Iran’s quest for a nuclear weapon much easier.

Group Files to Help States Insure Vote Integrity By Fighting Soros-Backed Voter ID Lawsuits
An election integrity group has filed motions to assist three states
that have been hit with anti-voter ID lawsuits.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an election group headed by attorney J. Christian Adams, is seeking to appear alongside the states in court to defend their laws. The group seeks to “provide an understanding of this national strategy and the national implications” of the lawsuits in a way “any singular defendant is unlikely to provide.”
The foundation says the voter ID lawsuits are a coordinated national attack on integrity that can change the outcome of elections.
Lawsuits targeting the three states are being led by Hillary Clinton’s top campaign lawyer and are fueled with money from liberal billionaire George Soros. Many anticipate that the effort will expand to other states as the 2016 elections approach.
“These three coordinated national attacks on election integrity were filed because partisan interests realize process rules can change election outcomes,” Adams said. “Some political candidates prefer elections with dirty rolls and unverified individuals casting ballots at the same time they register to vote. But most Americans do not.”
The motions filed by the group seek to “prevent treasured civil rights statutes such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965 from being turned into...

MOTHERS OF CHILDREN MURDERED BY ILLEGALS DEMAND DEMOCRATS CENSURE LUIS GUTIERREZ
The Remembrance Project’s director Maria Espinoza, speaking for the family members who lost children to illegal aliens, demanded that Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) be censured for attacking an expert witness testifying to the dangers sanctuary cities pose to Americans.
Gutierrez exploded on Center for Immigration Studies’ Jessica Vaughan after she pointed out that he called the death of Kathryn Steinle ” a little thing” during a Telemundo interview — and three mothers attending the hearing walked out in disgust. Laura Wilkerson, Sabine Durden, and Mary Ann Mendoza explicitly stated their anger and disappointment in Gutierrez in stark terms to Breitbart News. Now, these mothers, along with Espinoza, demand that Democrats in Congress censure him for his cold dismissal of Steinle’s death and his bullying of Vaughan.
Espinoza says Gutierrez must be stripped of his membership on the House Judiciary Committee and personally apologize to the families attending the hearing.
The full letter, obtained by Breitbart News, reads:
I write to you in regard to a recent extreme and deliberately insensitive tirade by a member of the United State Congress unleashed in a public hearing against a female expert witness testifying on behalf of American families whose loved ones have been killed by illegal aliens.
On July 23 of this year, in the House Judiciary Committee hearing on Sanctuary City policies, Luis Gutierrez of Illinois spoke these words to Ms. Jessica Vaughn, the expert witness who was invited guest and a surviving family member whose loved one was killed by an illegal alien. View video.
Gutierrez’s public outrage, apparently provoked by a public recitation of his very own racially and politically-motivated speech trivializing the horrific death of a young woman killed by an illegal alien felon, five times deported, has caused...
Obama’s New Energy Plan Could Cost $2.5 Trillion in Lost Economic Growth
The Obama administration unveiled its climate change regulations
for new and existing power plants, calling the plan “the biggest, most important step we’ve ever taken to combat climate change.”
It may be the most “important” from a top-down, regulatory mandate for high energy prices, but it won’t accomplish much, if anything, in terms of combating climate change.
Even though electricity generation accounts for the single largest source of carbon dioxide emissions in the United States, the estimated reduction is minuscule compared to global greenhouse gas emissions.
Climatologists estimate that the administration’s climate regulations will avert less than two hundredths of a degree Celsius by 2100.
In fact, all the plan will do is bring about higher energy bills, lost income, fewer jobs and a weaker economy – with little to no impact on the Earth’s temperature.
The role of the federal government should be not to promote or restrict any energy source or technology, but instead to enforce free-market policies that generate innovation and provide competitive prices.
In fact, the federal government has done much more to restrict the development of these energy sources than promote them, with Obama’s climate regulations being the latest blow.
Coal currently provides approximately 40 percent of America’s electricityas an affordable, reliable source.
Obama is upping the ante on existing power plants, forcing power plants, on average, to...

Student Punished For Saying “Hurtful Things” About ISIS, Baltimore Thugs
Free speech in America is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Institutions of learning, at all levels, are largely staffed by intolerant leftists who preach equality for all while suppressing the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms and rights of those they disagree with.A stark example of the predominant idiocy and double standard that the youth of America are being indoctrinated into and, at a minimum, forced to adapt to is exposed in a recent decision by Texas Christian University.
Political correctness is the curriculum being taught regardless of one’s major at that institution, as Harry Vincent, a 19-year-old sophomore found out.
Apparently, from the school’s standpoint, it is not acceptable to condemn bad behavior or to offer an opinion as to the nature of the perpetrator if that person is a non-white. Even using non-racial terms which define someone by their residence and low-class, often lawless behavior is enough to get a student into hot water. At TCU, you can’t call a hoodrat a hoodrat.
His legitimate comments were not painted “hoodrat style” on a statue of a war hero or on a police car; they were made on his own, personal Facebook and Tumblr accounts. At Texas Christian, voicing your opinion, freely, as protected under the Constitution, on your own personal forum is prohibited. Only sanitized speech is allowed by their students. Freedom and rights become privileges that are signed away when one signs on at TCU.
In making comments about the Baltimore rioters and ISIS, Vincent said in part, “These hoodrat criminals in Baltimore need to be...
Federal Harassment Of Sheriff Arpaio Continues – Office Raided Again, Threatened With Criminal Contempt
Sheriff Joe Arpaio might want to assign one of his investigators to locate a mini-storage for his personal and other critical documents. Perhaps a personal server in his basement might be the ticket for keeping intrusive Obama political operatives out of his business.Pro-invader U.S. District Judge Murray Snow seems to have made it his personal mission to make an example of Sheriff Arpaio, who dared to defy the corrupt federal government by respecting the Constitution and enforcing Arizona law. Contrary to popular thought, judicial activism does have its place and it is right alongside the abuse of power, inside the Obama regime.
On July 24th Judge Snow ordered Federal Marshals to seize 1,400 IDs and fifty hard drives from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. Based upon what they discovered on that fishing trip, Judge Snow sent them back a second time on Friday, this time to take possession of an original hard drive and to make a themselves a copy.
This comes at a time when the federal government is engaged in a program of intrusion into local policing, federalizing forces in order to create, as Hussein Obama said, “A civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as our military. This behavior may be intended to send a message to Sheriff’s around the nation that unless they want to find themselves in a similar situation, they should shut up, roll over and do as they’re told.
The harassment of Sheriff Arpaio is nothing new, and it appears that it will become...

Illegal Alien Sex Offender Was Not Deported: Surprise, He Ruins The Life Of Another Young American Citizen...
A registered sex offender recently charged with two felony sex offenses involving a minor was fighting deportation from the United States and had been under surveillance by Homeland Security when he was arrested this month, law enforcement officials said Thursday.Despite the monitoring, 26-year-old Kaene Dean was able to befriend a girl at a Santa Clarita Valley grocery store July 14 and then allegedly sexually assaulted her, according to Sgt. Brian Hudson of the Los Angeles Sheriff Department’s Special Victims Bureau.
Dean — who was a registered sex offender because of a conviction last year in Glendale on one felony count of second-degree commercial burglary and one misdemeanor count of indecent exposure — was placed in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after serving...
