Flight Crew Takes A Knee And Walks Off, Leaving New Orleans Saints Stranded On Runway – Freedum Junkshun:
"The New Orleans Saints made the mistake of once again disrespecting our veterans, our country and our flag. After an embarrassing opening to a game with the worst ratings in Saints’ history, the players and coaches learned that their actions have consequences."

How Gun Control Made England The 'Most Violent Country In Europe' - Breitbart
How Gun Control Made England The 'Most Violent Country In Europe' - Breitbart"...In 2009, twelve years after the Firearms Act of 1997 was passed, Daily Mail Online reported that Britain was “the most violent country in Europe.”
They also reported that Britain’s home figures showed “the UK [had] a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and South Africa.”
I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise. - The Washington Post
I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise. - The Washington Post
"Before I started researching gun deaths, gun-control policy used to frustrate me.
I wished the National Rifle Association would stop blocking common-sense gun-control reforms such as banning assault weapons, restricting silencers, shrinking magazine sizes and all the other measures that could make guns less deadly.
Then, my colleagues and I at FiveThirtyEight spent three months analyzing all 33,000 lives ended by guns each year in the United States, and I wound up frustrated in a whole new way.
...I researched the strictly tightened gun laws in Britain and Australia and concluded that they didn’t prove much about what America’s policy should be.
...When I looked at the other oft-praised policies, I found out that no gun owner walks into the store to buy an “assault weapon.”
It’s an invented classification that includes any semi-automatic that has two or more features, such as a bayonet mount, a rocket-propelled grenade-launcher mount, a folding stock or a pistol grip.
But guns are modular, and any hobbyist can easily add these features at home, just as if they were snapping together Legos.
As for silencers — they deserve that name only in movies, where they reduce gunfire to a soft puick puick.
In real life, silencers limit hearing damage for shooters but don’t make gunfire dangerously quiet.
An AR-15 with a silencer is about as loud as a jackhammer.
Magazine limits were a little more promising, but a practiced shooter could still change magazines so fast as to make the limit meaningless..."

ESPN's Coverage Of MNF Game Following Vegas Massacre Was At First Disastrous, Then Desperate | Daily Wire
ESPN's Coverage Of MNF Game Following Vegas Massacre Was At First Disastrous, Then Desperate | Daily Wire:
"...Monday was a time for unity and healing, something ESPN made clear when it reversed its previous decision not to air the performance of the national anthem.
On Monday, the sports network decided to air the anthem as a way of showing national solidarity in a time of tragedy.
But things went south for ESPN even before the anthem began to play.
With about 15 minutes left, ESPN's pre-game show, Monday Night Countdown, suddenly went dark, experiencing what the ticker repeatedly told the viewers were technical difficulties.
A few minutes after 8 p.m. EST, the coverage of the game finally began, the hosts apologizing briefly for the lengthy "difficulties" and then doing their best to act like everything was going as planned.
But when the now utterly politicized performance of The Star-Spangled Banner began, ESPN provided for the audience a look inside the mind of a network panicking (like the NFL) over how to handle the anthem protests, particularly following a national tragedy.
After a moment of silence for those impacted by the horrific actions of the shooter in Vegas, the anthem played.
During its performance, the cameras mainly stayed focused on players and the crowd, all standing united during a time of so much pain, outrage, and shock.
However, the camera did focus for a few moments on one particular player: the Chief's cornerback Marcus Peters, who sat all alone on the bench while everyone else in the stadium (except reportedly fellow teammate Ukeme Uligwe, who was not featured on camera) stood united."

Is Development Aid the New Colonialism? - Foundation for Economic Education - Working for a free and prosperous world:
"The big solution to global poverty is smaller than you think, but it requires a new philanthropic strategy to change the way we see ourselves and those we hope to help.
The easier it is to exercise economic rights, the less likely you are to find poverty.
In a forthcoming 2018 annual report from the World Bank, for the first time the relationship between small institutional reforms, like strengthening private property rights, and poverty will be quantified.
The findings show that for every five-unit increase in a country’s score on the “Doing Business” report, poverty drops one percentage point.
In other words, the easier a government makes it for the poor to exercise their economic rights, the less likely you are to find poverty in that country.
...The implication of this finding is that the poor know better than we do how to lift themselves out of poverty.
So why don’t we let them?
The answer is because today’s economic development aid juggernaut perpetuates a paternalism that relies too heavily on the technical expertise of outsiders and ignores, at its peril, the tacit knowledge possessed only by local beneficiaries.
Here’s an example..."

CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny appeared to suggest in an interview Monday that many of the victims of Sunday night's Las Vegas mass shooting were Trump supporters.
Zeleny made the bizarre observation after noting that President Trump's morning press conference about the situation in Las Vegas was "pitch perfect."
He went on to say that it was worth it, however, to “keep in mind” that there is significant crossover between Trump supporters and country music fans..."

How the Democrats Set Up Puerto Rico for Disaster | Frontpage Mag
"We’ve seen this show before.
When there’s a national disaster, neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble, shelters are filled with crying families, and a Republican is in the White House, the Democrats jump into action.
Not to help, but to make political capital from a disaster that they helped cause.
After Hurricane Katrina, the media shrieked that survivors inside the New Orleans Superdome were murdering each other.
But there actually wasn’t a single murder in the Superdome.
And no, NBC’s Brian Williams, never saw any corpses floating past the Ritz-Carlton.
The media exaggerated and lied.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was all over the news shouting, “Get off your asses” and accusing the Bush administration of “spinning” while “people are dying”.
The dirty Democrat demanded more resources while claiming that everything that the Federal government was doing wasn’t good enough.
He called for Greyhound buses, when there were plenty of school buses in New Orleans that weren’t being used..."

"Europeans captured and sold by Islamic jihadist in Africa.
In Poland alone over 3 million people were taken into slavery by muslims, an enormous number for a small country like Poland.
One can only imagine how many millions far closer to the entry points into European countries got kidnapped and taken into slavery across Europe by muslims.
Add that number to centuries of muslim slave raids.….
Whilst the Arabs have been acknowledged as a prime force in the early usage of slaves from Africa, very little has been written about their usage of White slaves, whether they were part of the Russian slave trade or those kidnapped by Arab pirates.

Here Are The Actual Federal Laws Regulating Machine Guns In The U.S. - The Federalist
"Private ownership of machine guns made after 1986 is banned by federal law
All pre-1986 automatic weapons must be registered with the ATF and require extensive background checks before private citizens may own them.
...The horrific mass shooting of scores of people in Las Vegas on Sunday has once again re-ignited the gun control debate in the U.S.
...Here are the facts on federal regulation of machine guns and fully automatic weapons in the United States.
Federal law highly regulates the manufacture, sale, and ownership of fully automatic weapons in the United States.
For those unfamiliar with firearms nomenclature, a fully automatic weapon is one that is capable of firing multiple rounds with only one pull of the trigger; a semi-automatic weapon will fire only one round per trigger pull while preparing the gun to fire another round when the trigger is pulled again.
The main federal law governing fully automatic weapons is called the National Firearms Act, or NFA.
First enacted in 1934, this federal law regulates fully automatic weapons, suppressors, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and destructive devices such as bombs or grenades.
The NFA was subsequently modified in 1968 by the Gun Control Act and in 1986 by the Firearm Owners Protection Act..."
