Justice ends funding to 'sanctuary cities' in huge House GOP victory | Washington Examiner:

""Today, the DOJ notified local and state law enforcement agencies across America that they will no longer be eligible for federal law enforcement grants unless they certify under oath that their local or state laws do not interfere 'in any way' with requests for immigration information from federal authorities," according to Texas Rep. John Culberson who demanded action earlier this year."

Chilling Cartoon Warns America About Dangers of Socialism... in 1948

WATCH: Chilling Cartoon Warns America About Dangers of Socialism... in 1948 » Louder With Crowder:
"American Exceptionalism is a concept so simple yet so misunderstood. 
America is exceptional because it was founded on the idea that man should be free. 
When I say “man” I mean every single human being.
Everyone should be free to be the arbiters of their own life.
To be free to succeed, free to fail.
The history of the world is filled with tyranny and oppression, where man was chained in government bondage.
America is the exception to that. America is exceptional because its Founders believed people were granted rights from his or her Creator, not from government.
But freedom is hard. Government stepping in to “take care” of people is an easier solution.
In that vein watch this cartoon about “Ism.”
Released in 1948, but just as relevant today…"

Hillary May End Up In Jail After All - All Thanks To Trey Gowdy | TellMeNow:

"Trey Gowdy’s exchange with FBI Director James Comey about his get out jail free pass to Hillary Clinton is one for the record books. In one fell swoop, Gowdy exposed both Comey and Hillary. And it appears Gowdy has bigger judicial plans for Crooked Hillary.
Gowdy appeared to be setting Hillary Clinton up for perjury charges."

Gonna be GREAT for basketball!-----Olympics Rule Change: Transgender Males Will Be Allowed to Compete as Women Without Reassignment Surgery

Olympics Rule Change: Transgender Males Will Be Allowed to Compete as Women Without Reassignment Surgery:
The International Olympic Committee will now allow transgender men to compete as women without reassignment surgery.

They ought to make good boxers and power lifters.
Breitbart.com reported:

There’s great news for adventurous male Olympic hopefuls: if they declare themselves women and reduce their testosterone below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to competition, they can compete against ladies.

There’s even better news for these men; according to transgender guidelines approved by the International Olympic Committee, genitalia does not serve as a prerequisite. The guidelines state: “To require surgical anatomical changes as a pre-condition to participation is not necessary to preserve fair competition and may be inconsistent with developing legislation and notions of human rights.”

Cyd Zeigler at OutSports.com reported on the policy change.

The IOC held a “Consensus Meeting on Sex Reassignment and Hyperandrogenism” in November at which they created the new guidelines, loosening prior rules adopted in 2004 to allow transgender athletes into the Games. The previous rules required that transgender athletes must have undergone external genitalia changes and removal of gonads, as well as obtaining legal recognition of their assigned sex from appropriate official authorities.

The new guidelines attempt to justify themselves by citing various societies’ acceptance of fluid gender identity, writing, “Since the 2003 Stockholm Consensus on Sex Reassignment in Sports, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of autonomy of gender identity in society, as reflected in the laws of many jurisdictions worldwide.”

Reverend Hood closely follows police shootings and state executions and regularly prays for divine retribution for police, like this post in response to a police shooting in Dallas from April 24, 2015:

For now, the blood of black men will continue to roll down driveways, streets and sidewalks with impunity. However, God is not mocked. The judgment is coming. Those police who continue to spill the blood of black men will be held accountable…for black blood matters just as much as any other blood to God.

Also, this post from May 11, 2015:

“The police are always prepared for a gunfight. We shouldn’t be surprised when they actually get one.”...

Hood’s posts and tweets add a religious and even apocalyptic zeal to the message espoused by many leftists, like this post from November 2015:

…Oh God damn these hate crimes and all the institutions that fail to act to prevent them. No more will we sit back and allow this community to be brutalized. No more will we act like nothing is going on. No more will we stand aside as the least of these are brutalized. God we pray that you will send fire down into our hearts to bolster us in a powerful way…then can you please send a little bit of fire down beneath our asses to keep us marching for justice. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! and…

Did Obama Incite The Dallas Cop Killings? | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:

"After a Baltimore drug dealer died in police custody, Obama rushed in to complain about how "we have seen too many instances of what appears to be police officers interacting with individuals, primarily African-American, often poor, in ways that raise troubling questions," Obama said. "This has been a slow-rolling crisis. This has been going on for a long time. This is not new, and we shouldn't pretend that it's new."

As with Ferguson, the facts ended up supported the police -- every one put on trial so far has since been exonerated."

Black Lives Matter Disavows Democratic Party's Show Of Support

Black Lives Matter Disavows Democratic Party's Show Of Support:
"Activists with the Black Lives Matter movement rejected the Democratic Party’s recent statement of support, making clear that they are not affiliated with any political party.
“A resolution signaling the Democratic National Committee’s endorsement that Black lives matter, in no way implies an endorsement of the DNC by the Black Lives Matter Network, nor was it done in consultation with us,” the Black Lives Matter Network wrote in a statement Sunday.
“We do not now, nor have we ever, endorsed or affiliated with the Democratic Party, or with any party.
The Democratic Party, like the Republican and all political parties, have historically attempted to control or contain Black people’s efforts to liberate ourselves,” the statement continues.
“True change requires real struggle, and that struggle will be in the streets and led by the people, not by a political party.”"

MINNEAPOLIS – The Democratic National Committee passed a resolution Friday afternoon supporting the Black Lives Matter movement at the party’s summer meeting...
“[T]he DNC joins with Americans across the country in affirming ‘Black lives matter’ and the ‘say her name’ efforts to make visible the pain of our fellow and sister Americans as they condemn extrajudicial killings of unarmed African American men, women and children,” the resolution states.
...calls for minimizing the use of “weapons that were used to police peaceful civilians in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri” last summer."

"Unfortunately Senator Toomey’s sanctuary city bill (S.3100) failed to receive the 60 votes needed to invoke cloture and move forward with debate. From 2015:

...Such policies came under scrutiny in July, when an undocumented immigrant and convicted felon allegedly murdered a woman in San Francisco.
Congressional Republicans rallied around the case, passing a similar bill in the House of Representatives, while President Barack Obama vowed to veto such legislation.
The “Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act” would revoke federal grants provided to so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to comply with Homeland Security requests to detain illegal immigrants.
The bill is meant to put pressure on those cities to cooperate with the federal government on these issues..."

"As then, so now. The murders in Dallas should come as a surprise to exactly nobody, since this is the end point those supporting the BLM movement have tacitly -- or openly -- encouraged. The cry of "off the pigs" has been with us since Bill Ayers (some guy in Barack Obama's neighborhood, never heard of him) was a pup. The Democrats, who have finally come out of the closet as the first openly anti-American party in American history, are now planning to disrupt the Republican convention later this month in Cleveland."

"While there is no evidence of formal affiliation, the suspect in the Dallas sniper attack considered himself a black nationalist, and he showed affinity for the religious group most closely associated with the Black Power movement that arose in the 1960s, the Nation of Islam.
Micah Xavier Johnson, a 25 year-old Army reservist who had served a tour of duty in Afghanistan, was photographed wearing a dashiki and holding up his right fist clenched in the Black Power salute.
On his Facebook page, Johnson liked pages related to Elijah Muhammad, the Nation of Islam’s deceased founder.
And he liked the Black Riders Liberation Party, the New Black Panther Party and the African American Defense League.
...A group called the Black Power Political Organization took credit for the Dallas attack, the London paper The Mirror reported Friday.
Last summer, WND reported Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan urged a packed audience at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Miami to kill white people.
Farrakhan said violent retaliation is the only way for American blacks to “rise up” and overthrow their white oppressors.
“So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us,” Farrakhan said.
“Stalk them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling....”

Liberal "leaders"-----Disgraced Former Case Western Law School Dean Changes Name To Ezra Wasserman Mitchell: A 'Jewish Kunte Kinte'

TaxProf Blog:

Cleveland Scene,
Disgraced Former Case Western Law School Dean Writes About Changing His Name Without Mentioning All The Reasons He'd Disgraced His Former Name:

Lawrence Mitchell is now Ezra Wasserman Mitchell. That matters very little to most people but for some others it's certainly worth noting, because Lawrence Mitchell was the former law school dean at Case Western Reserve University. 

Former is the key word there. Mitchell departed after the school settled a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit that, among other things, included multiple allegations that he'd propositioned students for threesomes. 

He's dipped off the radar — moving away from Cleveland and recording himself reading creepy poetry — and now, Lawrence Mitchell is off the radar altogether.

In a post on his site Mitchell announces that he's changed his name to Ezra Wasserman Mitchell:

After almost two decades of indecision, I today emerged from the New York City Civil Courthouse as Ezra Wasserman Mitchell.  For the two or three of you who are interested, I shall explain. ...

My name doesn’t fit for several reasons.  Most basic — and least spiritual – is aesthetic.  I have known several fine Lawrences and Larrys in my life.  But I personally don’t like the way either name sounds. ...

[M]y Hebrew name — Eliezer Ezra ben Shlomo (or really the Yiddish-Hebrew Lazar Ezra ben Shlomo ) — does mean something to me.  Of Ezra Ha’Sofer — the prophet who returned the people to Jerusalem and the Torah to the people following the Babylonian exile — it is said that if Moses had not received the Torah from Ha’Shem, Ezra would have been qualified to have done so. ... Ezra, to me, is softly melodic, while at the same time quite strong. ...

I have included Wasserman as part of my name.  (וואסערמאנ in Yiddish.)

Whence the Wasserman? Here I present myself as a Jewish Kunte Kinte.
