MSNBC’s Venezuela Reporter Illustrates Reason for 2nd Amendment Rights
In situations like this, sometimes eternal truths reveal themselves in some of the strangest places. During its coverage of the situation, MSNBC reporter Kerry Sanders stated the following:
“You have to understand, in Venezuela gun ownership is not something that’s open to everybody. So if the military have the guns, they have the power and as long as Nicolás Maduro controls the military, he controls the country.”

I noted previously that, as the economy inevitably failed and the government asserted ever more control, Venezuelans came to regret supporting gun control. My Uncle Mario taught me a similar lesson based on what happened to our family in Cuba.
HORRIFIC! Maduro's regime forces running over protesters in #Venezuela.
Why is the UN Human Rights Council silent? I stand with the Venezuelan people.

Commie Pope is trying to destroy America: Finances SIX CARAVANS of Illegals to Migrants on US Border, Sends Them $500,000
But the Pope’s philanthropy is perceived suspiciously by Michael Hichborn, president of The Lepanto Institute.
“I’m not sure, exactly, what Pope Francis is hoping to achieve,” he wrote in an email to Church Militant. “The money was ostensibly sent to ‘house and feed’ the 75,000 ‘stranded migrants.’ But $500,000 divided among them is $6.66, which is just enough to buy everyone there a single Whopper meal at Burger King.”
Hichborn continued: “This has all the appearance of an expensive publicity stunt aimed at poking the United States in the eye, but all it will really accomplish is proving that you can’t just throw money at a problem and expect it to fix things.”
An outspoken critic of current U.S. immigration policies, the Pope has made pointed barbs against President Donald Trump’s goal to construct a barrier on the border separating the United States and Mexico.

For example, the Pope supported the 14,000-member caravan initiated in Honduras last November, which required the United States to deploy an additional 800 soldiers on the border to maintain control. The number of immigrants has proven tremendously burdensome on the Mexican border towns and has caused a humanitarian crisis.
This has all the appearance of an expensive publicity stunt aimed at poking the United States in the eye.Tweet
Last month, Francis went even further. After making veiled comparisons of Trump to Adolf Hitler, the Pontiff declared, “Builders of walls, whether they are of razor-wire or brick, will become prisoners of the walls they build. That’s history.”

Trump Lays Groundwork To Designate Muslim Brotherhood A Terror Group
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders has confirmed that the Trump administration is pushing for the Muslim Brotherhood to be considered terrorists. In a statement to the Times she said:
“The president has consulted with his national security team and leaders in the region who share his concern, and this designation is working its way through the internal process,” Sanders said.
CBN reports: Trump told CBN News during an interview in 2017 that he was holding meetings about the Muslim Brotherhood’s terror status.
Senior officials are reportedly divided over the decision.
National Security Advisor John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo support the decision, while others argue that the Muslim Brotherhood is more of a loosely organized movement than a unified group and therefore does not fit the criteria for designating it a terror organization.
Another concern is the impact such a designation would have on the rest of the Middle East. The move would increase US tensions with Turkey, whose president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a vocal supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Others believe the measure would allow el-Sisi to crack down on his Muslim Brotherhood opponents in Egypt. El-Sisi led a coup in 2013 that challenged and removed former president Mohamed Morsi from power. Morsi was a former leader in the Muslim Brotherhood.
Some advisors suggest designating another group linked to the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror organization, which will ultimately make the Muslim Brotherhood subject to harsh sanctions.
The consideration comes weeks after the Trump administration designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a...

Diversity-Hire Somali Killer Cop Convicted of 3rd Degree Murder
The jury acquitted him of second-degree intentional murder. Noor was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs following the verdict. Sentencing is scheduled for June 7.
It’s believed to be the first time a police officer in Minnesota has been convicted of murder for shooting someone while on duty. Nationwide, such convictions are extremely rare.
Will there be an investigation of the higher-ups who recruited and coddled this obvious walking time-bomb? There’s plenty of evidence that everybody knew Noor was unfit to be a policeman, but they covered up for him because they were so desperate for a Somali on the Force.
Did anybody do an investigation into the killing of Philando Castile nearby by another Diversity Hire? As you’ll recall that shooting caused President Obama to make a speech about police shooting black men, which was immediately followed by that BLM terrorist murdering 5 Dallas cops. Or maybe you won’t recall it because it’s...
The NeverTrump Movement Is on Life Support
With the over-hyped but underwhelming conclusion of the Mueller investigation, whatever dreams NeverTrumpers within the GOP had of removing the president from office have vanished. Their last flicker of hope lies in mounting a Republican primary challenge in 2020—a strategy doomed to fail.
NeverTrumpism is not dead, but it is on life support with no possibility of returning to the vitality it displayed in 2016. Were it not for the news media’s eagerness to amplify the voices of those who hate the president, the movement would have long since been relegated to the more obscure corners of the internet.
NeverTrumpism only still exists because the left finds it useful to add a sprinkling of “conservative” anti-Trump vitriol to its progressive anti-Trump vitriol. At this point, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish the NeverTrumpers who claim to be on the right from the anti-Trumpers on the left.
Among conservatives, NeverTrumpism is already a fringe and irrelevant movement, its ranks having been decimated by countless defections.
Most onetime NeverTrump commentators—like Ben Shapiro, Rich Lowry and Erick Erickson—have long since rejoined the ranks of fair-minded conservatives who simply judge President Donald Trump the way they would any other Republican president, praising him when warranted, criticizing him when necessary. A handful, led by Max Boot, have abandoned conservatism altogether. They are not missed.
The leading NeverTrumpers in Congress have either retired (Sens. Jeff Flake and Bob Corker), become irrelevant (Sen. Ben Sasse), or died (Sen. John McCain). The flagship publication of their movement, The Weekly Standard, folded at the end of last year. Its online reincarnation, The Bulwark, has none of its clout or reach.
The right has tuned out the few lingerers. The president’s approval rating with Republican voters now stands at 89%. By comparison, Barack Obama’s was at 80% with Democratic voters at the same time in his presidency.
The conservative case against Trump was strongest during the 2016 Republican primary, when there were many qualified candidates to choose from. Once Trump became the Republican nominee, however, the reasonable conservative case against Trump became the indefensible NeverTrump case for Hillary Clinton.
Our presidential elections are, for better or for worse, binary propositions. The known unknowns of a Trump presidency should have been preferable for conservatives to the known knowns of a Clinton presidency. Still, there was no way to fully refute the apocalyptic predictions NeverTrumpers made during the 2016 race, however implausible or silly they were.
Now, two and a half years into the Trump presidency, the case for NeverTrumpism has completely collapsed. Not one of the overblown doomsday scenarios that Trump was supposed to unleash on humanity has panned out. The economy hasn’t collapsed. Fascism hasn’t come to America. And we aren’t at war with the world.
The president, in fact, has an impressive record of...
