Trump Rips Dem Mobs After Former Obama AG Holder Hails ‘Fighting’
President Donald Trump warned a boisterous crowd of Pennsylvania supporters at the Make America Great Again (MAGA) rally in Erie Wednesday night that “the radical Democrat mob” has become “the party of crime.”
As if to illustrate what Trump was warning about, earlier in the day former Attorney General Eric Holder told a group of cheering Democrat campaign activists that the time for civility in politics is past.
“It is time for us as Democrats to be as tough as they are, to be as dedicated as they are, to be as committed as they are … Michelle [Obama] always says ‘When they go low, we go high,” Holder said. “No. No … When they go low, we kick ’em.”
And earlier this week, Trump’s Democratic opponent in the 2016 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton, said in a CNN interview that “you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about.”
Civility would return only if Democrats regain the majority in the House and/or the Senate in November, according to Clinton.
The remarks by Clinton and Holder, who is contemplating a run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, seem to give the green light to their party’s radical base to continue and expand the confrontational tactics that saw protesters disrupt Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings.
The disruptions included confronting and cursing at senators in elevators, harassing and forcing them to leave public restaurants, and besieging...
Phil Bredesen’s Staff Says He Is Lying About Kavanaugh Vote: “It’s a political move.” & “We don’t say that out of these walls.”
Project Veritas Action Fund has released a second undercover video from campaigns during this 2018 election season. This report exposes Tennessee staffers from Phil Bredesen's U.S. Senate campaign revealing his willingness to court moderate voters through deceit. This was especially evidenced by Bredesen’s recent statement suggesting he would, if he was already in the Senate, vote to confirm now Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Reporter Nearly Impaled by Flying Debris During Hurricane [Video]
A Weather Channel meteorologist was nearly impaled by flying debris while reporting on Hurricane Michael:
Wow, Jim Cantore almost got speared by a 2x4 live. #HuricaneMichael pic.twitter.com/8qUsao0PQj— David Magee (@sfslickdawg) October 10, 2018
Here’s the back story on this:
It’s what Jim Cantore does. When a hurricane kicks up, the Weather Channel meteorologist runs right into the middle of it. During Hurricane Michael on Wednesday (Oct. 10), however, Cantore came dangerously close to proving why it’s never a good idea to be outside in the middle of a hurricane.“It’s relentless,” Cantore shouted over the roar of the wind before looking up and dashing off camera as a chunk of storm debris — a piece of 2-by-4 lumber, it would appear — flew though the spot where Cantore had been...
In a live segment from Panama City Beach, Florida, where the Category 4 hurricane made landfall at midday, Cantore stepped outside to demonstrate the strength of the storm.
Ohio University student charged after reportedly making anti-LGBTQ threats … against herself
What are the details?
According to a report by Campus Reform, police arrested Ayers on Monday and charged her with three counts of “making false alarms.”
Authorities said that Ayers, who is a member of the school’s student Senate, reported that she’d been subjected to death threats and threats in general as a result of being a member of the LGBTQ community. After an investigation, authorities discovered that Ayers had faked the threats, which had been sent to the student Senate office and to her home.
“[A] subsequent investigation by OUPD found that Ayers had placed the messages herself, prior to reporting them,” a spokesperson for the department said, Campus Reform reported.
The outlet also reported that such offenses can carry a penalty of up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, according to a news release on the department’s Twitter page.
The caption on the release’s tweet read, “Please see the attached statement regarding charges filed in the recent case of threats made against a member of Student Senate. Since this is a pending criminal case, the police department cannot comment further at this time.”
What have others said about this incident?
In a statement to Campus Reform, student Senate President Maddie Sloat said that the organization is attempting to heal while complying with the department’s investigation into Ayers’ claims.
“We are still processing and encouraging our members to take time to heal and utilize campus support resources right now,” Sloat said in a statement. “We’re complying with the investigation and OUPD. We hope [Ayers] receives the help that she needs.”
The government organization also confirmed that Ayers resigned from her position in the student Senate.
Carly Leatherwood, who is senior director of communications at the school, told the outlet that the school has a process in place to determine whether a crime has been committed.
“All complaints of harassment and threats of violence are...
