The Last Frontier For Gun Control: Washington Court Rules In Favor Of Seattle’s “Gun Violence” Tax
Two years ago, the president of the Seattle City Council offered a rather ludicrous proposition. He wanted Seattle to place a new tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition within the city limits. Ammo would cost an additional 2-5 cents per round, and a firearm would cost an extra $25. But what was even more absurd than the tax itself, is what the money would be going toward. The tax was supposed to pay for gun violence prevention programs and research.
The way City Council President Tim Burgess explained it, this “gun violence” tax would help offset the costs the city pays to treat gunshot victims. Essentially, it was a tax levied on responsible law abiding gun owners, to pay for the actions of violent criminals.
Despite how utterly stupid that sounds, the proposal passed. However, it didn’t have the desired effect. To the surprise of no one who actually understands the relationship between private firearm ownership and crime rates, the violent crime rate in Seattle has dramatically increased since the tax was put in place. It also brought in only a small fraction of the revenue that the city council was expecting. In short, the tax was a total failure.
So it’s no surprise that the tax has faced a lawsuit over the fact that Washington has a law that prevents municipalities from regulating firearms. Unfortunately, the Washington Supreme Court recently ruled against the lawsuit on the grounds that taxes aren’t the same as regulations, and cities are well within their right to levy sales taxes.
Regardless of whether the court’s decision was right or wrong, it certainly sets a dangerous precedent. As an...

"President Trump announces move to elevate Cyber Command"
- Thomas Gibbons-Neff in The Washington Post
The Washington Post reports President Trump has directed that Cyber Command will become its own unified military command – a move aimed to “strengthen cyberspace operations and bolster U.S. defenses.” The President said on Friday that the “elevation of United States Cyber Command demonstrates our increased resolve against cyberspace threats and will help reassure our allies and partners and deter our adversaries.”

USA Today contributor and former Bush Defense Department official James S.

Trump Just Endorsed Kelli Ward Over Arizona Senator Jeff Flake. Here Are 5 Things You Need To Know About Her.
President Trump has officially declared war on Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) by endorsing Dr. Kelli Ward, who is challenging Flake in a primary.
Here are five things you need to know about Ward:
1. Ward has continued to work in the field of medicine even as she served in the Arizona state legislature and while campaigning. According to her state senate biography, Ward attended the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine for medical school and founded Lakeview Family Health Care with Dr. Lorraine Byrd, her mother. Ward now works as a emergency care physician in Lake Havasu and Kingman.
2. Ward's voting record in the state legislature seems to be solidly conservative. Her Vote Smart profileshows Ward receiving a lifetime rating of 98% from the American Conservative Union (ACU), 100% from the Arizona Small Business Association, 86% from the National Rifle Association (NRA), and 83% from Americans for Prosperity. During her tenure in the Arizona state senate — 2012 to 2015 — she had 19 bills signed into law. Ward has credited her co-workers for introducing her to conservative talk radio — namely Rush Limbaugh — for her conservative beliefs.
3. Ward attempted to primary Sen. John McCain in 2016, to no avail. McCain won 51.2% of the vote, while Ward only received 39.9%. However, Ward claims she was outspent by a margin of 10 to 1 and noted that she "held McCain to his lowest historical primary total ever."

In Misguided Response to Charlottesville, Apple Donates to Liberal Group That Endangers Conservatives
In trying to fight racism—a laudable goal—Apple CEO Tim Cook has made a huge mistake by choosing to donate $1 million to the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that smears some conservative groups as “hate groups.”
“What occurred in Charlottesville has no place in our country. Hate is a cancer, and left unchecked it destroys everything in its path,” Cook wrote in an email to Apple employees Wednesday announcing the donation, according to BuzzFeed.
Cook continued:
But the Southern Poverty Law Center doesn’t just blast neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups as “hate groups.”
It also smears groups like Family Research Council and Alliance Defending Freedom, two socially conservative organizations that have bravely advocated...

Cook continued:
Apple will be making contributions of $1 million each to the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. We will also match two-for-one our employees’ donations to these and several other human rights groups, between now and September 30.

Black Employment Numbers Take Shocking Turn Under Trump
Black unemployment is down again under the Trump administration, according to a new report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics — and Al Sharpton is nowhere to be found to celebrate.
According to The Daily Caller, BLS stats show that from July of 2016 to July of 2017, the unemployment rate for black Americans has dropped one full percentage point. Last year, the rate was 8.4 percent. It fell to 7.4 percent.
And while part of that took place under the Obama administration, most of the gains came under the Trump administration. The rate has dropped from 8.0 percent this March to the 7.4 percent level now. That’s the lowest rate among blacks since December of 2000 — some 17 years ago. And it’s a lot lower than the 16.8 percent black unemployment rate Barack Obama saw at its worst level, back in March of 2010.
Liberals, needless to say, are hardly impressed. In the liberal leaning African-American cultural magazine The Root, even though they acknowledged that “unemployment levels in major cities like Cleveland, Baltimore and Chicago went down, which tends to indicate that black people in large population centers are finding work,” the best they were able to afford the president is that he did “somehow accidentally, not on purpose, manage to do something good for black America.”
Yes, even though the president made alleviating black unemployment a major part of his campaign, it’s all accidental. (The piece, somewhat unsurprisingly for a liberal publication, lays all of the credit at the feet of...

Fighting Neo-Nazis and the Future of Free Expression
In the wake of Charlottesville, both GoDaddy and Google have refused to manage the domain registration for the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website that, in the words of the Southern Poverty Law Center, is “dedicated to spreading anti-Semitism, neo-Nazism, and white nationalism.” Subsequently Cloudflare, whose service was used to protect the site from denial-of-service attacks, has also dropped them as a customer, with a telling quote from Cloudflare’s CEO: “Literally, I woke up in a bad mood and decided someone shouldn’t be allowed on the Internet. No one should have that power.”
We agree. Even for free speech advocates, this situation is deeply fraught with emotional, logistical, and legal twists and turns. All fair-minded people must stand against the hateful violence and aggression that seems to be growing across our country. But we must also recognize that on the Internet, any tactic used now to silence neo-Nazis will soon be used against others, including people whose opinions we agree with. Those on the left face calls to characterize the Black Lives Matter movement as a hate group. In the Civil Rights Era cases that formed the basis of today’s protections of freedom of speech, the NAACP’s voice was the one attacked.
Protecting free speech is not something we do because we agree with all of the speech that gets protected. We do it because we believe that no one—not the government and not private commercial enterprises—should decide who...

Trump is right: The alt-left exists and the media ignores it
Now that most of the political juice has been squeezed out of the events in Charlottesville, Va., the country is preparing to move on from yet another ugly incident.
Just as after Ferguson, Baltimore, San Jose, Santa Barbara and Berkeley, the immediate reaction from the usual suspects went according to script. It was a shameful display by the media and the political class.
First, the political class sprinted to the closest microphone or TV camera they could find — at a speed that would impress Usain Bolt — in order to score points. Both sides of the political class exploited the opportunity to flaunt their racial sensitivity and moral superiority. Why do they feel the need to denounce hatred and violence every time one of these incidents occurs? Because if they don’t, their opponents say their silence equates to tacit approval of what took place. It is a game of political “gotcha.”
It is telling about the self-righteousness of the political class that they would sink so low for political gain as to use an incident where one young lady lost her life and others were injured. It is reprehensible. The incident amounted to hate versus hate.
The liberal media also forges these incidents into a club to bludgeon their political adversaries. Those adversaries include President Trump, conservatives and...

COULTER: When Liberals Club People, It’s With Love In Their Hearts
Apparently, as long as violent leftists label their victims “fascists,” they are free to set fires, smash windows and beat civilians bloody. No police officer will stop them. They have carte blanche to physically assault anyone they disapprove of, including Charles Murray, Heather Mac Donald, Ben Shapiro, me and Milo Yiannopoulos, as well as anyone who wanted to hear us speak.
Even far-left liberals like Evergreen State professor Bret Weinstein will be stripped of police protection solely because the mob called him a “racist.”
If the liberal shock troops deem local Republicans “Nazis” — because some of them support the duly elected Republican president — Portland will cancel the annual Rose Festival parade rather than allow any Trump supporters to march.
They’re all “fascists”! Ipso facto, the people cracking their skulls and smashing store windows are “anti-fascists,” or as they call themselves, “antifa.”
We have no way of knowing if the speakers at the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally last weekend were “Nazis,” “white supremacists” or passionate Civil War buffs, inasmuch as they weren’t allowed to speak. The Democratic governor shut the event down, despite a court order to let it proceed.

Soros-Funded Groups AstroTurf DACA Protests at White House
Protests demanding an Obama-created amnesty program for young illegal aliens remain intact were sponsored George Soros-funded by open borders groups.
United We Dream and CASA, two Soros-funded pro-immigration groups, were behind the rally outside the White House where illegal aliens demanded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program be kept in place by the President Trump Administration.
In 2010, Soros’ Open Society Foundation gave United We Dream a total of $75,000. In 2015, the open borders organization CASA thanked Soros’ Open Society Foundation for their funding and support.
At the protest, more than 25 open border activists were arrested by Metro Police outside of the White House, according to...

We Are Replacing Our Institutions with Something “Darker, More Rigidly Conformist”
The leftists will never stop. If you give them something they want, they will demand more and the road to oppression will continue without end. They want to destroy our free speech, our freedom of religion, our right to own guns, our Constitution, our military and police forces, our separation of powers, our two-party system, our history, our rule of law. Statues have little to do with what is going on right now.
The removal of confederate statues is only a path to destroy our institutions. It’s an iconoclastic movement by the leftists no different from that of Mao, Lenin, the Taliban. This is not about the confederacy, it’s Saul Alinsky-ites and leftists taking us down to gain power and control.
We can now see where it is headed and we had better speak up now. Why not build monuments to notable minorities like George Washington Carver and Harriet Tubman?
The Congressional Black Caucus on Capitol Hill want the confederate statues in the Capitol removed. “We will never solve America’s race problem if we continue to honor traitors who fought against the United States in order to keep African-Americans in chains. By the way, thank god, they lost,” Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond (D-La.) told ABC News.
Unfortunately, the CBC is very far left and while they have a good point about statues representing these men, they are part of our history. That’s almost besides the point. If it would stop at confederate statues in public places, it would be one thing, but it will not.
Lee is among the 10 Confederates whose statues remain in the Capitol, lionizing a slaveholding era and sparking calls this week from some House Democrats to rid the building of their likenesses.
Politico subtly suggests it’s only white racists who want to keep the symbols, which they have made more important than they ever were: But the protesters weren’t waving the stars and stripes. America’s resurgent...

Paying Protesters To Destabilize the U.S.
Wealthy leftists engage professional grievance hustlers to pay protesters to destabilize and destroy America. And people are standing by watching like a train wreck in slow motion, waiting for someone else to do something.
At anti-Trump protests during the election, protesters admitted they answered ads on Craigslist and were getting paid to protest Trump. The protests are largely paid for by George Soros, MoveOn.org, reclusive billionaire Jonathan Lewis, and pushed by David Brock at Media Matters for America. I’ve been writing about this for several years.
The Latest Faux Protests
Leftist Activists demanded Monday that the American Museum of Natural History in New York City take down its statue of ‘racist’ Theodore Roosevelt. Apparently “the statue is seen as an affront to all who pass it on entering the museum, but especially to African and Native Americans.”
Marching around the museum in a fit of self-righteous rage, protesters carried signs that read “BLACK LIVES MATTER,” “DECOLONIZE THIS MUSEUM,” and “ABOLISH WHITE SUPREMACY,” the Daily Wire reported.
“A stark embodiment of the white supremacy that Roosevelt himself espoused and promoted,” pontificated the group of protesters in a statement.
Denying the History of the South
Leftist activists continue to demand that southern states take down statues of Confederate figures. Some argue that Confederate war monuments shouldn’t be funded with taxpayer dollars. Others say these monuments are a part of American history, and whether it’s positive or negative history, they should be treated as such. Leftists on the other hand, have instead determined that it’s fine to...

This Nationwide Program Is Teaching Millions of Students to Become Leftist Snowflakes
Parents beware: A program called Challenge Day that applauds a culture of victimhood is planting the leftist agenda into young minds under the guise of anti-bullying education.
The program uses the power of peer pressure and groupthink to impress upon high school students the idea that everyone is a victim.
Challenge Day is no small initiative. According to the program’s website, it has been held at more than 2,200 high schools nationwide and reached millions of students.
Challenge Day purports to teach tolerance and acceptance, yet nearly every member of its board of directors and Global Leadership Council is politically left of center.
Of the 17 members of Challenge Day’s board of directors, 15 openly support leftist leaders and causes, and two have an unknown affiliation, according to Federal Election Commission records and personal social media accounts. Of their 22-person Global Leadership Council, 17 of the members support leftist leaders and causes.
This is an organization that preaches diversity but is not politically diverse itself.
The most concerning member of Challenge Day’s global governing board? The former “green-jobs czar” under President Barack Obama, Van Jones.
While Jones was in jail after a mass arrest, according to the East Bay Express, he said, “I met all these young radical people of color—I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’”
When in high school, I myself participated in Challenge Day. At 16 years old, I was a junior at Grosse Pointe North High School, a public school outside Detroit.
I was asked to step forward if I were ever called a bad kid, tried to run away, isolated myself, was made fun of by someone I trusted, or felt as if I were treated differently because of my...

Black Teens Bludgeon White Man To Death With Hammers In Ferguson
Remember when this was huge news and President Obama was forced to disavow Black Lives Matter?
Neither do I.
Story:
Zemir Begic was a teenager when he and his family fled Bosnia in the aftermath of a bloody civil war. In America, he found work, friends and love before a pack of thugs beat him to death with hammers on a city street in St. Louis as his terrified fiancee watched early Sunday.
Begic, his wife of six months and a friend were surrounded by a group a teenagers who began banging on it with hammers, according to authorities and witnesses. When Begic stepped out of his car to confront them, the teens pounced on him, pummeling him with the hammers and leaving him fatally injured. He died hours later at St. Louis University Hospital.
“The last thing he did before he actually died was pull me out of the way and put himself in front of me, basically giving up his life for me,” Begic's fiancee, Arijana Mujkanovic, told KSDK.
The attack occurred in southwest St. Louis, just 20 miles from Ferguson, where a police shooting of a black man and a grand jury's subsequent decision not to indict the officer sparked violent riots. Police have said the murder of Begic, 32, does not appear to be racially motivated, and have arrested three teens and were looking for one or possibly two more. The married immigrant was driving his car when the teens approached at a traffic light and began striking it with hammers, prompting him to get out and confront them, according to police.
The attack has left St. Louis's 70,000-member Bosnian community reeling and calling for more police protection.
“We come from Bosnia because we were getting killed and our homes and families were getting destroyed,” Denisa Begic, his 23-year-old sister, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Never in my life did I think he would get murdered.”
On Monday evening, Robert Mitchell, 17, was charged as an adult with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death, KMOV-TV reported. Mitchell turned himself in late Sunday after 15- and 16-year-old suspects were taken into custody. Despite the proximity to the racially-charged Ferguson incident, which has generated national headlines, police insist there is no...
