Media Attempts To Bash Trump For Featuring Families Of People Killed By Illegal Aliens

By William Teach June 23, 2018 – 7:23 am

Funny how this same media never seemed to consider Barack Obama using all sorts of families in his pushes, such as to take over the health insurance and health care sectors, problematic

Trump answers critics of family separation policy with Americans ‘permanently separated’ from family by illegal immigrants

Days after yielding to pressure to reverse his policy of separating migrant families at the southern border, President Trump returned Friday to the nativist rhetoric that animated his outsider presidential campaign, casting immigrants as threats to “our citizens.”

Seeking to counter the intense criticism of his border policies, Trump invited families of Americans killed by undocumented immigrants to tell their stories of being “permanently separated” from loved ones.

“These are the stories that Democrats and people that are weak on immigration, they don’t want to discuss, they don’t want to hear, they don’t want to see, they don’t want to talk about,” Trump said at the White House.

Um, they don’t. Most of the media was reticent to cover the murder of Kate Steinle by an illegal alien, one who had been convicted of multiple crimes previously and had been deported 5 times. The Credentialed Media really tries to stay away from stories where an illegal alien is the perp. Many times, stories ignore information on things like ICE placing a detainer on one. In fact, they often trot out stories that illegals commit less crime than Americans, which missed the fact that people who are not supposed to be in the United States to start with are committing crimes.

In fact, the article spends barely any time discussing what the family members had to say. Most is just about Trump, the separation policy, and getting some sort of immigration bill passed in Congress.

At the White House event Friday, Trump and many of the family members who spoke criticized what they called one-sided media coverage that does not focus on their stories.

“We weren’t lucky enough to be separated for five days or 10 days; we’re separated permanently,” said Laura Wilkerson, whose son Josh was killed in 2010. “Any time we want to see or be close to our kids, we go to the cemetery, because that’s where they are. We could never speak to them, we can’t Skype with them.”

That’s it. In fact, the families had a lot to say, such as

How many media outlets are covering the case of an illegal alien who just confessed to murdering two women in Miami? More families that lost children to an illegal?

The president blamed Democrats for what he called weak immigration laws and policies that treat those in the country illegally too leniently, even though Republicans control Congress and failed this week to pass an immigration bill out of the House because of opposition from GOP members. Trump railed against the MS-13 gang, heroin from outside the United States, and so-called “catch and release” immigration enforcement.

It almost seems like the Washington Post is attempting to defend heroin and MS-13. Because they’re deranged.

Gun Grabber David Hogg Caught Cruising The Streets Of NYC With Armed Guards

By William Teach June 23, 2018 – 7:02 am

Who’s surprised by the hypocrisy? Anyone? Anyone?

(Western Journalism) Self-defense for me, but not for thee: That seems to be the new message of anti-Second Amendment advocate David Hogg, at least if claims by people who spotted him in New York City recently are correct.

Earlier this week, the spotlight-seeking Parkland student-turned activist was photographed in the Big Apple apparently flanked by bodyguards with military haircuts and Secret Service-style suits.

https://twitter.com/SeanDiSomma/status/1009484311945457664

Hogg’s response to all this was “Love you, too”, and never once refuted the notion that he had armed security. He also recommended reading his book, and that he’s pro-2nd Amendment

Other users pointed out that the hypocrisy is especially deep since it’s in New York City, a place with some of the most strict gun control laws in the nation and where concealed carry permits are nearly impossible to obtain.

It’s almost as if Hogg doesn’t truly trust laws to keep people from illegally carrying guns, despite… well, constantly advocating for more laws to keep people from carrying guns.

“But (David Hogg), I thought armed guards were not an answer to security? Who is Paying for him?” asked GA Patriot on Twitter. “Everytown? George Soros ? What makes you Special or better that anyone else in NYC?”

It is incredibly difficult for citizens in NY, and especially NYC, to engage in using their 2nd Amendment rights for protection, just like in many other Democratic Party run areas. And most of us cannot afford to have armed security when traveling, unlike people like David Hogg, Alyssa Milano, Michael Bloomberg, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and so many other gun hating celebrities and Democrats.

Hogg’s version of supporting gun ownership: “They’re pathetic f***ers that want to keep killing our children,” he declared about millions of law-abiding members of the National Rifle Association.

And Hogg is 100% against arming teachers and/or school personnel to protect the children. But armed protection for himself? That’s a different story.

Speaking of Bloomberg

Gun control proponent Michael Bloomberg is donating $80 million to Democrat candidates in hopes of flipping the House of Representatives to a pro-gun control position.

Like most, Bloomberg and the gun grabber groups he supports want to enact restrictions on the gun rights of law abiding citizens. They, and their pet elected Democrats (who also have armed security), have proposed virtually nothing that goes after criminals that use firearms.

You Driving A Fossil Fueled Vehicle Sparked The Border Migration Crisis

By William Teach June 22, 2018 – 3:05 pm

It’s so obvious, you guys! It wasn’t the fact that illegals and refugees and people who just wanted to get away from their 3rd World Shitholes developing nations always seem to want to come to the United States. Or that one political party, and some squishes in the other, not only refuse to crack down on illegal immigration, but actively propagate the impetus for people to stream to the U.S. Or that people have always streamed to the U.S., legally and illegally. No, it’s carbon pollution. And all your fault

Climate Change Sparked the Border Migration Crisis

One factor causing migrants to risk everything—even potentially losing their children—to travel through the heat of summer in the dangerous desert and towards the barbed wire fences and tent cities springing up just south of the United States border: climate change.

Many of the migrants being detained here now hail from what’s referred variously as the Dry Corridor or the Northern Triangle, which consists of the three countries immediately south of Mexico: Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.

The agricultural crisis of the Northern Triangle area isn’t something that cropped up overnight, but has been in the making for more than a decade. The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations published a report in June 2016 that described the depth of the food insecurity crisis in the region, leaving 3.5 million people, or nearly 30 percent of the population, food insecure from crop losses estimated to be as high as 90 percent.

See? Who didn’t see this coming, because we all know that plants hate carbon dioxide.

And just to continue with the meme

Trump Penalizes Migrants Fleeing Climate Crisis He Ignores

The impacts of climate change do not respect international borders. If they did, it wouldn’t be the case that the countries who have done the least to contribute to global carbon dioxide emissions are expected to suffer disproportionately from their effects.

But as climate refugees begin to flee deteriorating conditions, they are already finding that borders very much apply to them.

Many of the immigrants being detained at the southern U.S. border under President Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy are fleeing food scarcity brought on by climate change, The Daily Beast reported Thursday.

Wait, I thought Obama fixed ‘climate change’? Didn’t he say that “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”? Trump certainly hasn’t been in office long enough to create climate doom. Must be an inherited problem

‘Climate Change’ Made Lobsters Awesome, But Will Kill Them In The Future Or Something

By William Teach June 22, 2018 – 10:30 am

It’s always some sort of doom with these people

Climate Change Brought a Lobster Boom. Now It Could Cause a Bust.

At 3:30 in the morning on a Friday in late May, the lobstermen ate breakfast. Outside, their boats bobbed in the labradorite water, lit only by the dull yellow of streetlamps across the bay. It was windy, too windy for fishing, but one by one the island’s fishermen showed up at the Surfside cafe anyway. Over pancakes and eggs, they grumbled about the season’s catch to date.

Some of the lobstermen said it was just too early in the season. Others feared that it was a sign of things to come. Since the early 1980s, climate change had warmed the Gulf of Maine’s cool waters to the ideal temperature for lobsters, which has helped grow Maine’s fishery fivefold to a half-billion-dollar industry, among the most valuable in the United States. But last year the state’s lobster landings dropped by 22 million pounds, to 111 million.

Now, scientists and some fishermen are worried that the waters might eventually warm too much for the lobsters, and are asking how much longer the boom can last.

“Climate change really helped us for the last 20 years,” said Dave Cousens, who stepped down as president of the Maine Lobstermen’s Association in March. But, he added, “Climate change is going to kill us, in probably the next 30.”

NJ Governor Pushes To Increase Cost Of Gun Ownership

By William Teach June 22, 2018 – 7:05 am

Remember, one of the talking points from the gun grabbers is that they don’t want to interfere with the Constitutional rights of law abiding citizens to own a firearm, they just want to keep them out of the hands of criminals. Where does this one fit in?

Phil Murphy wants to make it a lot more expensive to buy a gun in N.J.

Gov. Phil Murphy is proposing to significantly hike fees for buying and selling firearms in New Jersey, a move that would raise the cost of gun permits and licenses for the first time in half a century and likely trigger a legal challenge from Second Amendment advocates.

Murphy, a Democrat who has already signed half a dozen gun control bills in his first few months in office, has publicly called for raising such fees.

“It’s hard to believe it’s actually cheaper to get a permit to purchase a handgun, which is $2, than it is to get a dog license in practically any town in our state,” Murphy said at a June 13 bill signing.

Draft legislation obtained by NJ Advance Media shows Murphy wants to raise fees and licenses far beyond the rate of inflation. The proposal, which Murphy’s office shared with legislative leaders as part of the budget process, has not been formally introduced in the state Legislature. (snip)

The plan would raise the cost for handgun purchase permits from $2 to $50; firearms identification cards from $5 to $100; handgun carry permits from $50 to $400; retail gun dealer licenses from $50 to $500; and wholesaler/manufacturer licenses from $150 to $1,500, among other hikes.

That’s a serious jump in cost, wouldn’t you say? And who gets burdened? The law abiding. The purchase permit is only good for 90 days, and would have to be renewed. As I quickly wrote in the the comments

As a lawful gun owner, I’m not against reasonable fees, but, the $2 is simply for a purchase permit, which is good for 90 days (we pay $5 in NC, good for 5 years. But only good for one handgun purchase). You also have to pay $5 for a purchaser ID card. Plus $62.50 for the fingerprints. And a permit to possess and carry a firearm is another $20 $50, and has to be renewed every 2 years.

I pay zero in NC to possess and open carry. Concealed carry is $80, renews every 5 years, and $75 per renewal.

The purchaser ID card is required for any purchase, possession, and carrying of a long gun. So, hunters would pay quite a bit more. The handgun permit has to be renewed every two years, so law abiding citizens would be paying that $400 every two years. None of this would effect criminals, just the law abiding.

But the governor’s public budget plan anticipates $1.4 million in additional revenue from the sale of firearms, and gun control activists continued to press the matter Thursday after learning the idea had not been picked up by Democratic leaders in the state Assembly and Senate.

And that was the other thing I mentioned in the comments: “What Phil is attempting to do isn’t even anti-gun so much as trying to steal more money from taxpayers.” It’s what Democrats do. Raise taxes and fees because they’re not particularly good at being responsible with the money they forcibly take from citizens, and always want more.

Fake News: Child On Cover Of Time Magazine Was Not, Get This, Separated

By William Teach June 22, 2018 – 6:47 am

Think they would have done this while Obama was POTUS?

Well, we’re the same country we were when Obama was president. It’s just that the “news” media declined to cover the separation of kids. But, see, there’s a problem

https://twitter.com/AmandaLeeHouse/status/1009958608510078977

From the Daily Mail

The father of the Honduran girl who became the face of the family separation crisis has revealed that he still has not been in touch with his wife or daughter but was happy to learn they are safe.

Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, 32, said that he had not heard from his wife Sandra, 32, who was with his two-year-old daughter Yanela Denise, for nearly three weeks until he saw the image of them being apprehended in Texas.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Hernandez, who lives in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, says that he was told yesterday that his wife and child are being detained at a family residential center in Texas but are together and are doing ‘fine.’

‘You can imagine how I felt when I saw that photo of my daughter. It broke my heart. It’s difficult as a father to see that, but I know now that they are not in danger. They are safer now than when they were making that journey to the border,’ he said.

Denis said his wife and daughter were never separated by border control agents and remain together.

Never separated. The child was put down for a brief moment while mom was searched. That’s it. That’s why the Credentialed Media should do research and verify exactly what they are publishing. One has to wonder how often, though, are the layers and layers of fact checkers fail vs how often they do not care because they want to Get Trump.

He revealed that his wife had previously mentioned her wish to go to the United States for a ‘better future’ but did not tell him nor any of their family members that she was planning to make the trek.

‘I didn’t support it. I asked her, why? Why would she want to put our little girl through that? But it was her decision at the end of the day.’

He said that Sandra had always wanted to experience ‘the American dream’ and hoped to find a good job in the States.

Denis, who works as a captain at a port on the coast of Puerto Cortes, explained that things back home were fine but not great, and that his wife was seeking political asylum.

Just because things are so-so at home doesn’t mean you get to just show up at our border and claim asylum. Want to fix this problem? Pass a law that anyone seeking asylum can only do it at a US embassy or other facility, and we’ll look at their claim. But, not at our border. Illegals who are crossing at non-entry points or entry points, and have even been caught well within the US, know what talking points to use. And they all seem to be claiming some sort of asylum.

Someone Please Explain Why People Have To Blow Off Stop Signs

By William Teach June 21, 2018 – 8:25 pm

Dana caught a tweet from me a few months back asking people to please stop running stop signs. And there was this at NJ.com

Drivers no longer know what ‘stop’ means

I was under the impression that when vehicles approached stop signs and red traffic lights, they were supposed to stop.

I have seen more and more vehicles go through intersections with red traffic signals. Many cars never come to a full stop when approaching a stop sign. These drivers put others at risk, and can cause accidents.

What’s their excuse? Are they in a hurry to get somewhere? As long as they can get away with running stop signs and driving through red traffic lights, bad drivers will continue to disobey traffic laws.

The running red lights, mostly as they are just about to go red, has been going on for a while. Over the last few months, I’ve noticed a serious increase in the amount of people blowing stop signs. Maybe I just never noticed. It seems to be happening everywhere lately, And these aren’t slow and goes. No. People get near the stop sign, and just go. They do not get down to a mile or two an hour. And they are flying up to stop signs, and slamming on the brakes when they realize a vehicle is coming. It is worrisome, and damned dangerous. They really often do not have time to look both ways properly to see if a vehicle, a jogger, a kid on a bike, etc, is coming.

I just don’t get it. If they do not care about other people, you’d think they would care about themselves and their property which costs tens of thousands of dollars.  It’s such a simple thing that only costs a few extra seconds. I’ve been hit by a dumbass blowing a red light (they were going right on red, and weren’t paying attention to the my turn signal, but, still never stopped). I don’t feel like getting hit because some other dumbass couldn’t wait a few seconds.

Good News: Chocolate/Vanilla Ice Cream Causes Massive Case Of Offendinitis

By William Teach June 21, 2018 – 3:15 pm

Have you ever had Blue Bell ice cream? Delicious. It’s my preferred brand now. It’s real, tastes great, and you get a lot for your money. I like the Neapolitan the most, but, there’s another I’ve purchased when my WalMart is out. This type. Which apparently is raaaaacist and linked to the Civil War, and has caused Offendinitis

Mixed-Race Family Asks Blue Bell To Change ‘The Great Divide’ Flavor Name

In an open letter on Love What Matters, Traci Schmidley, a mother of six children and a foster mom to more, is asking Blue Bell Ice Cream to change the name of their chocolate and vanilla flavor, which is currently named “The Great Divide.”

According to Schmidley, the family was sitting down to celebrate the end of a long week with some ice cream when her 10-year-old son saw the name on the carton and decided to make a joke calling it “The Civil War flavor.”

“The line down the middle of the carton reminded him of the Mason Dixon line, and the name reminded him of a time in history when our nation appeared to be irrevocably divided. He looked at our table and saw a mixture of both black and white people, not divided on one side or another like in the ice cream but gathered around the table together.”

Schmidley says her son wasn’t complaining that the name of the ice cream was racist, but rather that it wasn’t “the best name for something as wonderfully unifying as Blue Bell ice cream.” The children came up with a name that they think better represents the flavor, calling it “Better Together.” They wrote a letter to the company that Schmidley shared on her Facebook page.

OK, perhaps he wasn’t complaining that it was racist (I doubt that), but, it sure is a case of Mega-Offendinitis. Seriously, this is ice cream. There’s always been this light-hearted debate about chocolate or vanilla being the best. The Great Divide! This is the kind of insanity that permates today’s society, where someone takes Offense because they’ve utterly misread something in their own minds. But, remember, it’s not about race

Last week we had an ice cream party and we had the flavor the Great Divide. It’s a good flavor for parties because we can add a lot of unique toppings to it. But, we began to talk about the name and we think some people might misunderstand the name and think the name the Great Divide is about people and the division that exists in our world because of different skin colors.

That’s from the Facebook post to Blue Bell, embedded in the above link. On the bright side, it wasn’t Demanding and unhinged like what you see from most SJWs.
