‘Media Chieftains’ Must ‘Pull Back’ Liberal Mobs Before ‘Tragedy’ Strikes

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , ,

“And there are still some, Democratic members of Congress, entertainment figures, religious leaders, media chieftains like Jeff Zucker at CNN or Andy Lack at NBC. They’re silent now, cowering and complicit in all of this, but the country badly needs them to cool the rhetoric and rein in the mob. No more Nazi talk on their TV channels. No more screaming at people in restaurants.”

(Nicholas Fondacaro – News Busters) It has only been a year since a deranged Democrat tried to pull off a mass assassination attempt against Republican Congressmen at a baseball practice. With the left’s targeting of Trump administration officials and others for harassment, which was being egged on by California Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D), many reasonable people were rightfully fearful that we might be headed for a tragedy.

U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner: What About Black Children Separated From Their Mothers?

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , ,

“When we’re talking about family separation — this year alone, 4,500 black kids will be separated from their families because their mothers are going to be incarcerated. Not for, on average, a few hours like 30 percent of the illegal immigrants on the border are being separated.”

But what about the plight of American children living in poverty, some of them in far worse conditions than the foreign children put in temporary government housing on the border? View article →

Drive-By Media Bombarding Americans With ‘Manufactured Crises’ to Distract from IG Report, Robust Economy

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , ,

“But Democrats and their accomplices in the media don’t care about the truth or the children because they are ‘manufacturing a crisis out of something that has been going on for years’ to vilify Trump, distract from the IG report and the booming economy Trump has fostered, [Rush] Limbaugh argued.”

(Alicia Powe – Gateway Pundit)  The liberal media has been manufacturing crises ad-infinitum to divert the public’s attention away from the Trump administration’s tremendous achievements and the Democratic establishment’s corruption, conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh warns.

While Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s damning report proves the FBI colluded with the Hillary campaign to exonerate her in the email investigation, Democrats are bombarding Americans with fabricated propaganda about Trump’s “heartless” immigration policy, which consists of the president enforcing the already established laws, Limbaugh explained Tuesday.

Three Unmarried Adults + One Baby = A Family in Canada

“I have no reason to believe that this relationship detracts from the best interests of the child,” said the judge.

(Elizabeth M. Economou – LifeZette) A recent ruling in Canada is raising more than a few eyebrows — and is showing contempt for traditional parenthood in a flamboyant way.

It appears to be a legal first for the Great White North.

That’s right: three parents. One kid.  View article →

Child Border Crossers Have Higher Standard of Living than 13M Impoverished American Children

Data provided to Breitbart News reveals that each unaccompanied minor costs the federal government about $34,660 annually. This is a higher standard of living per child than the roughly 13 million American children who continue to live below the U.S. poverty line.    View article →

“In the end, Horowitz pronounced himself ‘deeply troubled’ by some of the expressions of bias.
