Peak Irony: Mexico Wants To Build The Wall To Stop Illegal Immigration

Peak Irony: Mexico Wants To Build The Wall To Stop Illegal Immigration | Zero Hedge:
"It turns out that Donald Trump’s proposed border wall is not such a bad idea after all.
Though Mexico’s current and former Presidents have both lambasted Trump for implying that a wall would curb immigration, it turns out that Mexicans like the idea.
There is one small caveat, however.
Mexicans don’t want to build the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, but rather, they want to stem the tide of immigration into their own country  by building the wall on their southern border with central America:
One of the largest newspapers along Mexico’s border with Texas is calling for a border wall with Central America, similar to the one being promoted by Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump.
The editorial board of El Mañana, one of the largest newspapers in the border state of Tamaulipas,  penned a piece called “Yes to the Border Wall … but in Mexico’s South.”
The piece praises the idea of border wall, not on the border with Mexico, but on the border with Central America.
 “Along the Mexican border peace and quiet came to an end, Central Americans played a large influence,” El Mañana’s piece claimed..."

WEST MICHIGAN POLITICS: Breaking: Hacked DNC Emails Show Dems Plotted Disgusting "Flint Hit" To Attack Snyder:


"Leaked DNC emails from WikiLeaks show the water crisis in Flint is nothing but a political football for DNC Debbie and her pals in Washington.

And yes, "Flint Hit" is the words THEY used!"

Trump's Speech Wasn't 'Dark' Enough

Trump's Speech Wasn't 'Dark' Enough - Dennis Prager:
"One of the many remarkable traits of the progressives is their lack of self-awareness.
This trait was on display last week in the media and Democratic Party's characterization of Donald Trump's acceptance speech -- and the entire Republican National Convention -- as "dark."
For the left to dismiss other Americans as having a dark view of America is preposterous.
Because no one -- not Trump, not the Republican Party, not any conservative -- has nearly as dark a view of America as does the left.
Across the board -- from the universities to the media to the Democratic Party -- the left, around the world and in America, has an unremittingly dark view of the United States.
Here's a brief glimpse.

• --Racism "is part of our (American) DNA," President Barack Obama said in 2015. Is there anything Trump said in his acceptance speech that is as dark about America as that?
• --On July Fourth weekend, Vox published a long column arguing "3 reasons the American Revolution was a mistake."
• --The most widely read historian in American high schools and colleges, the late left-wing professor Howard Zinn, was asked (by me) whether he thought the United States had done more good or more bad in the world. "Probably more bad than good," he answered.
• --The left regularly characterizes the United States as a sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist and bigoted country.
• --Our wars are wars for imperialist expansion, driven by material greed.
• --The top 1 percent relentlessly exploits the other 99 percent.
• --America is rigged against blacks, Hispanics and the 99 percent.
• --Cops kill unarmed blacks proportionately more than they kill unarmed whites because so many cops are racist.
• --About 1 in 5 female college students are sexually assaulted on campus.

Is there anything in Trump's speech that can match any of those left-wing views of the United States for "darkness"?
Moreover, every one of those leftist critiques of America is false.
Nevertheless, we are in a dark time in America.
In fact, Trump didn't make the case for America's darkness nearly effectively enough.

• --Our universities -- outside of the natural sciences -- are being destroyed as learning institutions. They close minds, censor speech and indoctrinate rather than educate.
• --Blacks have more anger toward whites and America than at any time since the civil rights era.
• --American students are learning less while being indoctrinated more. They graduate high school barely able to write a coherent essay with proper sentence structure, grammar and spelling. But they know all about the existential threat allegedly posed by fossil fuels.
• --According to a recent Gallup Poll, fewer young Americans than at any time since polling began are proud to be Americans.
• --A greater percentage of Americans are dependent upon government for their income and even for food than at any time in American history.
• --The American national debt is the highest it has ever been. And it is increasing at a rate that can only lead to an economic implosion.
• --A smaller percentage of Americans are married than at any time in American history.
• --Americans are having fewer children than ever.
• --Fewer businesses in proportion to the general population are being started than ever before.
• --Sectors of major American cities are essentially killing zones.
• --Fewer Americans than ever before believe in God, go to church or affirm Judeo-Christian values, the basic moral code of America's founding and of Western civilization.
• --Only 2 in 10 black children are born to a married mother.

Is that dark enough?
And the list is only a partial one.

The first scandal that made us question the Clintons’ ethics | New York Post

The first scandal that made us question the Clintons’ ethics | New York Post:

"Hillary, as you’ve probably heard, will very likely be picked later this week as the Democratic Party’s nominee for president.

That, I believe, will turn out to be a big mistake by the Democrats.

Why?

Too many people — including me — know too many bad things about this woman.

So I thought it would be fun today to tell you about the Saltillo deal, one of those bad things that just isn’t going away.

The Democrats will ignore this and everything else at their own peril.

Here’s what I wrote about the Saltillo deal back in ’96: "

The legend of slaves building Capitol is correct... sorta....

The legend of slaves building Capitol is correct | PolitiFact
"Every now and then, a fact goes viral.
Current case in point: that slaves helped construct the U.S. Capitol, where the son of an African man is set to be sworn in as the nation's 44th president.
Pundits and politicians have mentioned this dozens of times in the past few days, wielding it as potent shorthand for all the historical import of the moment.
..."The Capitol was built by slaves," Pelosi said. "
...It turns out there's far less in the historical record on the subject than one might expect. 
Early historians of the Capitol's construction were largely indifferent to the work of common laborers, both paid and slave.
Records from the time are spotty.
Only in the past 15 years or so has attention been trained on the role slaves played in constructing perhaps the nation's most important building — and the work has been led not by professional historians, but by individuals who developed a personal interest in the subject, such as retired Washington television reporter Ed Hotaling and freelance writer Bob Arnebeck.
In 2005, Congress appointed a task force to research the subject, which issued a report in conjunction with the Office of the Architect of the Capitol, finally bringing a measure of scholarly rigor to bear on the topic.
The task force acknowledged it was not able to tell the full story. "No one will ever know how many slaves helped to build the United States Capitol Building — or the White House," says the 2005 task force report, entitled History of Slave Laborers in the Construction of the United States Capitol.
...The commissioners' use of slave labor was unremarkable for the time. 
When the Capitol was constructed, from 1793 to 1826, the building trades in almost every colony augmented the work force with slave labor.
...Pelosi might have specified that slaves were only part of the work force, but they were involved with almost every aspect of construction for at least the first several years.
We find her statement True."

Palestinian flag waved at Democratic National Convention - US & Canada - News
"The Democratic National Convention (DNC), opened in Philadelphia yesterday (Monday) under a cloud of scandal, as recent leaks of emails between Democratic party officials showed a clear bias in favor of Hillary Clinton over Senator Bernie Sanders in the race for the party's nomination, together with a readiness to actively interfere in the primary process.
...One of the consequences of the leftward swing within the Democratic party has been a renewed questioning of its support for Israel. 
...Activists identifying themselves on twitter as being "Progressive for Palestine" raised a Palestinian flag in the middle of the convention floor, making it clearly visible to the overhead cameras, and held up signs reading: "I support Palestinian human rights."

"ANSBACH, Germany (AP) — A Syrian man whose asylum bid had been rejected in Germany recorded a cellphone video of himself pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group before he tried to get into an outdoor concert with a bomb-laden backpack. He was turned away and blew himself up outside a wine bar instead, injuring 15 people, authorities said Monday.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility.

It was the fourth attack to shake Germany in a week — three of them carried out by recent migrants."

"On Monday, the AfD criticized Merkel’s administration, saying that under “the current ideology of a dangerous ‘multiculturalism,’ the country’s domestic security and the order of Germany keeps getting destroyed.”

Senior Hillary Clinton Supporter Blames "Stupid White People" for Trump Success in Polls
Mitch Stewart, a political operative who served as a senior adviser to Ready for Hillary in 2013 after working as the Battleground States Director for President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign in 2012, posted a comment to Twitter Monday that blamed “stupid white people” for the success in the polls of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, calling them “the worst”.

Stewart was reacting to Trump moving into the lead over Democrat rival Hillary Clinton in several post-Republican convention polls released Monday.

The tweet has Stewart’s location marked as “Philadelphia,PA” indicating he is attending the Democratic Party National Convention that began there Monday.

JULIAN ASSANGE Slams "Corrupt" Hillary Clinton in First Interview Following Wikileaks DNC Email Release (VIDEO)

JULIAN ASSANGE Slams "Corrupt" Hillary Clinton in First Interview Following Wikileaks DNC Email Release (VIDEO):
"Assange told Democracy Now that it’s quite remarkable what happened in the last few days.
He slammed ‘corrupt’ Hillary Clinton:
JULIAN ASSANGE:
"Well, I mean, that’s interesting. We have seen that with a lot of other publications. I guess there’s a question: What does that mean for the U.S. Democratic Party? 
It is important for there to be examples of accountability.
The resignation was an example of that. Now, of course, Hillary Clinton has tried to immediately produce a counter-example by putting out a statement, within hours, saying that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a great friend, and she’s incorporating her into her campaign, she’s going to be pushing for her re-election to the Congress.
So that’s a very interesting signaling by Hillary Clinton that if you act in a corrupt way that benefits Hillary Clinton, you will be taken care of.
Why does she need to put that out? Certainly, it’s not a signal that helps with the public at all. It’s not a signal that helps with unity at the DNC, at the convention.
It’s a signal to Hillary Clinton partisans to keep on going on, you’ll be taken care of. 
But it’s a very destructive signal for a future presidency, because it’s—effectively, it’s expanding the Overton window of corruption.
It doesn’t really matter what you do, how you behave; as long as that is going to benefit Hillary Clinton, you’ll be protected."

DNC Planned To Reward Big Donors With Federal Appointments

DNC Planned To Reward Big Donors With Federal Appointments | The Daily Caller
"Democratic National Committee documents recently released by WikiLeaks include spreadsheets and emails that appear to show party officials planning which donors and prominent fundraisers to provide with appointments to federal boards and commissions.
...“That is unethical, if not illegal.”
The proposed appointments also provide more evidence that the DNC favored Clinton over her former primary challenger, Bernie Sanders.
Most of the donors listed on the spreadsheet have given to Clinton’s campaign.
None gave to Sanders.
...But one tip-off that the document is detailing a quid pro quo is an entry next to the name of David Shapira, the executive chairman of grocery store chain Giant Eagle, Inc.
“USPS” — a likely reference to the U.S. Postal Service — is entered on the spreadsheet.
...Shapira and his wife Cynthia have donated heavily to Clinton, the DNC and other Democratic and liberal political action committees..."

Media's Public Enemy Number One still survives

Media's Public Enemy Number One still survives - Alicia Colon
"...Although it's a given that the mainstream media is biased against conservative Republicans, the recent Wikileaks 20,000 DNC email dump disclosed that the MSM has colluded with Hillary Clinton in her attacks on her opponent Bernie Sanders.
Poor Bernie didn't have a chance against the combined Clinton/MSM machine.
The emails contained off the record correspondence with reporters at the Washington Post, Politico, and the Wall Street Journal, among others.
They also show how the DNC conspired with media anchors and newspapers to torpedo Bernie Sanders.
One devastating email discussed using Sanders religion or atheism as a potential talking point for the campaign...
We certainly didn't need any proof that the mainstream media is in the pocket of the Democrat Party since we know that over 80 % of journalists are self-admitted liberals...
The Wikileaks DNC email is being called one of the biggest scandals in history but not if it's never covered by the mainstream media. 
As for social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook, they are already censoring the scandalous reports.
One of the leaks lists CNN anchor Jake Tapper (whom I had once thought was a real journalist), receiving questions from the DNC to ask his interviewees.
But I remember a satellite feed exposing a conversation between Larry King and Bill Clinton. 
King was advising the 1992 Dem. candidate how to handle Pres. George H.W. Bush.
No big deal.
They're Democrats.
This too will pass..."
