Interesting Bits of News 2

This item illustrates well the rank hypocrisy of Democrats and their irrational hype about gun control.  Quote: "According to the statistics, nearly five times more people died in Chicago this year than in the Las Vegas shooting. Yet the mainstream media continually turns a blind eye to the dead and fails to hold Democrat politicians like Mayor Rahm Emanuel accountable for the city’s chaotic condition. The reason is, Chicago doesn’t fit the narrative the left-leaning press wants to spin. Chicago saw 32 people shot (four of them fatally) last weekend. Do only mass shootings get intense media scrutiny?  That’s because, unlike the Las Vegas shooting, most of the gun violence in Chicago is crime and gang-related–and the people who commit these crimes use illegal weapons. According to the Washington Post, only one-in-five gun crimes are committed by the legal owner of the firearm. In the vast majority of cases, criminals use stolen or illegally-obtained weapons. This makes sense. After all, registered guns can be tracked down, and the last thing criminals want is to leave a trail leading back to them. Also, many violent criminals are repeat offenders. Because laws often keep people with a criminal record from obtaining firearms, felons’ only recourse is to get an illegal gun. Adding more restrictive gun laws to the books would not stop the mass deaths happening daily in cities like Chicago. As Second Amendment advocates repeatedly stress, gun laws only restrict law-abiding Americans–while empowering criminals."    https://www.teaparty.org/breaking-32-shot-4-dead-not-las-vegas-270213/   This has been covered before in previous items but here it is again.  The places with the most crimes committed with guns are Democrat strongholds having the toughest gun control laws.  If their solution were implemented across the country think of what the consequences would be.  Again: foolishness begets foolishness and that is a trait engrained in leftist/progressive/Democrat dogma.

Before we leave the subject of the Los Vegas shooting, it is a good idea to consider the analysis contained in this piece.  Quote: "Lone shooter? Really? And this is supposed to be more than a convenient fantasy? Yesterday, I did a brief analysis of the number of people killed and wounded at the Vegas Concert (573) in roughly four and half minutes, which is the police estimate of the duration of the attack. I mistakenly reversed figures. The correct conclusion would be: the lone shooter killed or wounded 2.1 persons per second. It is HIGHLY doubtful Paddock could have done that. His distance from the concert, his lack of professional skill, his state of mind, among other factors, rule against it.  Any competent and honest law-enforcement analyst would see a huge red flag right away. But of course, multiple shooters destroys the official narrative and opens the door to an investigation that could expose, for example, an intentional false flag operation."  And, "I fully understand that the estimates of 573 killed and wounded, and the police statement that all the shooting took place in four and half minutes, may be off. These figures may not be precise. Nevertheless, they are a good and proper starting point. And even allowing for later adjustments, the evidence for multiple shooters and against a lone amateur like Paddock is stunning. So why won’t law-enforcement take notice? Because, in certain cases with great consequences, the overall agenda and the direction of an investigation are set from offices far higher than the positions of the actual detectives and agents on the scene. “This is what we want to know. Only this. Everything else is off limits.”   https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2017/10/03/more-than-one-vegas-shooter-the-evidence-builds/   Hopefully a full investigation will reveal the entirety of the facts.

If you don't think the socialist Democrats are serious about destroying the Second Amendment this item will dispel that thought.  This is what all tyrannical governments do.  Disarm citizens so they cannot resist a government run by socialists, fascists, dictators and communists who do have guns.   http://www.libertyheadlines.com/leftists-demand-america-ban-guns/?

Is this possible???   https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/10/04/let-me-get-this-straight-2/

Sane people in the UK are beginning to understand what our liberal/progressives can't seem to figure out. Quote: "After suffering through five terrorist attacks in 2017, there appears to finally be growing sentiment in the UK to begin arming more police officers with firearms. It turns out that the notorious politeness of the British “Bobbies” is not a sufficient response to groups of machete-wielding terrorists who are ready to die while taking out as many unarmed civilians as possible. We’ll have to wait and see whether that growing sentiment, however, turns into action. London’s unarmed police are a concept that dates back almost 200 years and it has worked for the Brits for the most part, until now. The Metropolitan Police Service was founded in 1829 on the idea of “policing by consent” instead of by force. Today less than one in ten officers in London carry a firearm on duty. A cop has to receive training in London to become an Authorized Firearms Officer and historically, very few have done so. Most police in Britain are armed with pepper spray or mace, a set of handcuffs, a baton and occasionally a Taser."    http://americangunnews.com/u-k-rethinking-their-anti-gun-policy-for-cops-after-terror-attacks/ 

Sorry to share this but it proves what most sane people already know.  She is admired by those on the political left but the true is this woman is a hateful racist.  http://americanactionnews.com/articles/michelle-obama-people-don-t-like-politics-because-gop-is-all-men-all-white   People who say things like this offer proof that they are not who they pretend to be.  She and people like her are the real problem our country is facing.  Hate begets hate.

This item discusses the proposition that ongoing tax policy changes will make a difference, or will they?  Quote: "I would hazard a guess that an increasing number of tax donkeys are considering dropping out as a means of increasing their happiness and satisfaction with life.Since federal income taxes are in the spotlight, let’s ask a question that rarely (if ever) makes it into the public discussion: what if the tax donkeys who pay most of the tax rebel? There are several likely reasons why this question rarely arises." https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/10/03/what-if-the-tax-donkeys-rebel/

The Democrats are good at saying Trump is a failure when facts prove otherwise.  Then again as is well known Democrats are not very good when dealing with facts.  Quote: "President Donald Trump hasn’t appeared to be all that focused on his campaign promise of cracking down on illegal immigration, complete with a new border wall, but the facts don’t lie. While the media was busy clutching their proverbial pearls over the President’s comments regarding the National Football League, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were hard at work rustling up illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities. ICE officials confirmed that 498 criminal aliens were detained by law enforcement in the course of a four-day long sting that targeted 10 cities around the nation."    http://rightwingnews.com/illegal-immigration-2/national-sanctuary-sting-ends-nearly-500-illegal-aliens-arrested/

This is an interesting take on the Trump/Russia investigation led by Special Prosecutor Mueller.  Quote: "That may be what’s really going on with the special prosecutor. The phony Russia scandal provided an excuse to bring in a political pro like Mueller to clean up the mess left by Comey and the Obama Administration. The FBI is not supposed to be spying on Americans without a warrant and they are really not supposed to be listening in on politicians. Someone signed off on bugging Trump Tower, during and after the presidential election. Who knows what other shenanigans have been going on. The most likely answer for why a special prosecutor was appointed is that it was an easy way to get the whole thing out of the White House. Since the story is bogus and Mueller surely knows it is bogus, it will be a nice patronage program for a year or two and then the whole thing goes away. The second most likely answer is that Mueller’s job is to clean up the mess left by Comey and protect the reputation of the FBI, maybe even some other intelligence agencies. That way, no one gets hurt the problems are quietly fixed. What this is not. is an investigation about Russia meddling in the election.   https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/10/02/the-fbis-russia-shield/
