Surprise! ‘Good guy with a gun’ stops school shooting

Surprise! ‘Good guy with a gun’ stops school shooting:

It’s another prime example of how a good guy with a gun can save dozens of innocent lives when under attack by a madman hellbent on mass murder.
A student gunman at Great Mills High School in Southern Maryland tore through the campus at 8 a.m. Tuesday, shooting and injuring two students.
“There was a loud sound and everyone started screaming and running,” tweeted student Mollie Davis.
But an armed school resource officer, Blaine Gaskill, wasn’t about to stand down or wait for backup.
He was determined to save innocent young lives. So Gaskill wasted no time in pursuing attacker Austin Wyatt Rollins, 17, who was armed with a Glock handgun.
Gaskill fired a round at the gunman and quickly neutralized the threat."

Byron York: If Mueller didn't charge Flynn and Manafort with collusion, then who was colluding?:

"To put it briefly: What kind of collusion scheme between Russia and the Trump campaign could have existed without Michael Flynn being part of it? What kind of collusion scheme could have existed without Manafort? And Gates? And yet none of them -- nor Papadapoulos, either -- has been charged with taking part in a collusion scheme."

Honest Liberals Vs. Climate Alarmism – Industrialization, Fossil Fuels: Human Blessing Not a Climate Catastrophe | The Freedom Pub

Honest Liberals Vs. Climate Alarmism – Industrialization, Fossil Fuels: Human Blessing Not a Climate Catastrophe | The Freedom Pub: 
"Recent articles in Scientific American and elsewhere acknowledge what many climate realists have long said: climate change, whether human-caused or not, does not mean the end of human civilization or life on Earth. 
Instead, human life is getting better. 
In one essay, journalist Will Boisvert argues the climate influence of human greenhouse gas emissions isn’t catastrophic, writing:
How bad will climate change be? 
Not very. … 
While the climate upheaval will be large, the consequences for human well-being will be small. Looked at in the broader context of economic development, climate change will barely slow our progress in the effort to raise living standards.
Among the evidence Boisvert cites to prove his case is a Lancet study released in 2016 which the mainstream media portrayed as showing climate change would cause food shortages leading to 529,000 deaths each year from malnutrition and related diseases. 
What the study really showed is,
… in 2050 the world will be better fed than ever before. … 

• [F]ood will be more abundant than now thanks to advances in agricultural productivity that will dwarf the effects of climate change, … 
• rais[ing] per-capita food availability to 3,107 kilocalories per day, … 
• substantially higher than the benchmarked 2010 level of 2,817 kilocalories—and for a much larger global population. 
• The poorest countries will benefit most, with food availability rising 14 percent in Africa and Southeast Asia. 
• [T]he study estimates that improved diets will save a net 1,348,000 lives per year in 2050..."

Get ready - the 2018 White Privilege Conference is coming! - The College Fix

Get ready - the 2018 White Privilege Conference is coming! - The College Fix:
"This year’s White Privilege Conference is taking a big step — it’s the first time it will move beyond the oppressive confines of the United States’ borders.

As such, the title of the early May confab is a bit more grandiose: “White Privilege Conference Global — Toronto.” 

It will be held at the city’s Ryerson University.

But do not misunderstand — just because Canada gets accolades for its multiculturalism, “there are still hurdles that exist nationwide.” 

For example, the subtitle on the conference website states “Are Canadians Too Polite? Addressing Global Perspectives on White Privilege and Oppression in Canada and Beyond.”
Yes, even politeness is now considered white privilege. 

Or something.

From the conference website:

“White Privilege” refers to a socio-political system that distributes power, privilege and benefits unequally among groups in societies and countries in our world. It is rooted in the history of European colonial domination and settlement of the Americas, Asia and Africa, on one hand, and the 19th century practice of “race science” justifying this domination, on the other. These two phenomena have resulted in a set of political, social and cultural beliefs, assumptions and practices based on the primacy of one group over others.

Privilege is often times difficult to see for those people who were born with access to power and the resources that go with that power. WPC Global – Toronto aims to enhance individual understanding of white privilege, as well as to address the dominant narratives that operate throughout our institutions and across society.

Through workshops and panel discussions, we will engage in transformative conversations about privilege and its impacts with an aim of building a more inclusive world.

Obama Campaign Staffer Says Facebook Allowed Them to Harvest Masses of Data | Breitbart:

"Facebook representatives told Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign that they had been allowed to use the platform in ways that would have otherwise been prohibited, because Facebook was “on our side,” according to explosive claims from Obama’s former director for media analytics, Carol Davidsen."

Subject: AN INSIGHTFUL EXPLANATION ABOUT JAMES COMEY. A MUST READ..

This reads better than any spy novel....lengthy but well worth it.....

Subject: Roadkill - An Insightful Explanation About James Comey...(No Rebuttal on Snopes) - Happy Hunting, President Trump!!!

There are very few crime/mystery novels that approach this true story for compelling drama, intrigue, and brinkmanship (with the nation in the balance).

• Don't believe the fake media story that Trump made a mistake or huge gaffe by firing Comey.
• Don't believe the media narrative from the left that it was an attempt to silence Comey from some investigation into Trump.
• Don't believe the RINO narrative that Comey is a good guy just trying to do his job in terrible circumstances and the timing was bad.
• Don't believe the lie that Comey was admired and respected by career FBI investigators and agents.
• Don't believe the lie that Trump's "tweets" are not professional and have no strategic purpose. His tweets are weaponized and deadly.
• James Comey is a poisonous snake of the highest order... a deep-water Swamp Denizen who has been highly paid to deliberately provide cover for high-level corruption by the Clintons and Obama. He is has been central to trying to destroy the Trump campaign and then the Trump administration from the start. He is as dirty as they come in DC. He had a highest-level cover (the FBI no less) and was deep in an effort to eliminate Trump. Trump had to move hard, fast, and at exactly the right time to cut the head off the snake without getting bitten by the snake or being finished by the other swamp denizens.

Begin by noticing how the President fired Comey when Comey was 3,000 miles away from his office, that Comey had no inkling he was being cut, that all his files, computers, and everything in his office were seized by his boss Sessions and the justice department. 

This was not a violation of protocol, it was tactical. 

Notice how Prez Trump compartmentalized the strike and did not inform any of his White House "staff" to prevent leaks. 

Notice how he emasculated Comey and the swamp denizens by letting them know in a tweet that the Attorney General got information (surveillance "tapes" from the seizure of Comey's office) to let Comey and his handlers know that Trump's DOJ has the goods on them. 
This was a brilliant, strategic and totally imperative move at exactly the right time against horrible, evil and corrupt powers infesting our government.
The swamp is on notice that the President is on to them, they are sweating bullets because their criminal games of corruption are being pursued and they know it. 
They are screaming and ranting because they are desperate denizens of the swamp who are beginning to realize they are roadkill..."

Political Editors: Monday Short Cuts — The Patriot Post

Political Editors: Monday Short Cuts — The Patriot Post: 
"...“Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. 
Y'all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation. 
And DC keep[s] talking about, ‘We are a resilient city.’ 
And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds [Jewish bankers] controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. 
Be careful.” —Washington, DC, council member Trayon White Sr. 
(But hey, at least he’s sorry now.)"

Women Strike Back: 'Self-Identify' as Men to Protest Transgender Invasion of Women's Pools

Women Strike Back: 'Self-Identify' as Men to Protest Transgender Invasion of Women's Pools:

"A group of British women decided to “self-identify” as men, to infiltrate a men-only swimming session. The pair entered the pool topless as a protest after officials allowed men claiming to be transgender women, to enter the women’s pool.
The two female protesters launched their protest on March 16 at a South London pool, by entering the men-only swimming session while wearing only a swim cap and swim trunks, the Daily Mail reported."

Glenn K. Beaton: When the shooting starts, would you go in? | AspenTimes.com:
"Armed sheriff's deputies appeared on the scene of the recent school massacre in Florida while kids were still being murdered inside.
But the deputies failed to storm the building to apprehend the killer, to rescue the assaulted, to stop the bleeding and to comfort the dying.
They failed to do their jobs.
Instead, they cowered behind their patrol cars waiting for, well, apparently waiting for the shooting to stop.
Some 150 bullets and 17 lives later, it finally did and the killer walked away.
Only then did the deputies enter the building.
...That issue is this. 
What would you do if you happened past a school and heard shooting and screaming inside? 
Assume you're unarmed.

• If you run inside to help, the most likely outcome is that you accomplish nothing.
• The second-most likely outcome is that you add yourself to the body count.
• But the third-most likely outcome is that you save a kid, perhaps in the course of dying yourself.
• The fourth and least-likely outcome is that you save many kids by overcoming the killer.

Of those possible outcomes, only the last two — the least likely ones — are good ones.
The odds are against heroes.
That's why we heroize them.
Unfortunately for heroes but fortunately for the rest of us, heroes have no time to calculate those long odds against them.
...Like you, I would instead act instinctively with my heart I hope my heart would tell me to do what I should do — what I must do. 
I hope I would do my job..."
