Newsworthy Items 1

This will disturb any red bloodied American who believes in equal justice for all.  Quote: "The Department of Justice’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee providing the country with a look behind the curtain at the potentially criminal activities of Hillary Clinton, her cohorts and the Obama Administration at large. In what ranks among the most disturbing reports about Hillary’s disregard for the law and cover ups, the impartial IG laid out a process that allowed Clinton’s own team members to decide what evidence, if any, law enforcement agencies such as the FBI were allowed to see. Imagine a world where criminals decide what police can look at with a search warrant. That’s how Washington was run under Obama’s watch!"    http://patrioticviralnews.com/articles/hillary-clintons-lawyers-deleted-whatever-emails-they-wanted-says-the-ig-report/

I wish with all my heart that the political left's racist agitators would listen to the wisdom of Walter Williams and others like him as esteemed black men with enormous understanding of how this subject needs to be dealt with based on facts rather than emotions.  Quote: "For several decades, a few black scholars have been suggesting that the vision held by many black Americans is entirely wrong. Dr. Shelby Steele, a scholar at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, said: “Instead of admitting that racism has declined, we (blacks) argue all the harder that it is still alive and more insidious than ever. We hold race up to shield us from what we do not want to see in ourselves.”  And,  "White liberals and the Democratic Party are the major beneficiaries of keeping black people fearful, angry, victimized and resentful. It’s crucial to both their political success and their efforts to change our nation. Racial harmony would be a disaster for leftists, be they politicians, academic liberals or news media people. As for black politicians and civil rights hustlers, Booker T. Washington long ago explained their agenda, writing: “There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”    https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/06/walter-e-williams/blind-to-real-problems/

This black man's piece says a mouthful and Democrats will definitely not like what he has to say.  Quote: "As an African-American, I cannot remember a better time in history to live in the United States; and thanks to the policies of President Trump, many other Blacks are starting to feel the same way.  The 60-year gig is up for the power-hungry Democratic Party that has been running a massive scam on Black people since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. Thank God -- Black people are finally starting to wake up and unplug themselves from the Liberal Matrix that has ruled their reality for over a half a century."     https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/06/illegal_aliens_the_new_black_vote_for_democrats.html

This is a statistic the radical left will ignore as they pursue their irrational quest to take guns away from law abiding citizens.  They, as always, just know they are right no matter the facts.   https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/06/08/homicide-rate-by-firearms-down-30-since-1990/   This illustrates the truth that the political left are the ones who are bullies.  They demand everyone adhere to their view of what one can say, do or believe.  Quote: "Make a joke about skin color and you’re a racist. About gender orientation and you’re a “homophobe.” About Islam and you’re an “Islamophobe.”  But Christians are a fair target, apparently. It happened at a Scottish state school where the parents of a 5-year-old report their daughter was bullied for saying grace before a meal. Their names aren’t being reported to protect the girl, but the family lives in the Highlands. The parents said their daughter was “happy” growing up but, but grew depressed and dreaded school after being mocked, over and over, for expressing her Christian beliefs."

Quote: "Even apart from the current trade war between China and the United States, there are some concerns that China’s economy may be slowing. The country’s growth has already slowed somewhat, which is likely to have an impact on the United States and Europe. With additional trade tariffs, this could be even more dramatic. In recent years, China has been taking additional measures to regulate its own manufacturing industry, pulling back on more harmful methods and attempting to reduce the amount of waste coming in through its borders. This is a long-term strategy that is designed to improve the overall health of China, but may also have the side effect of slowing its economy."   And,  "The coming months will give more information about the state of the Chinese economy. As it stands, it appears that the Chinese economy is due for a slow down regardless of the US-China trade war, and that China is likely to continue to pull back on its spending in the US. Growing animosity is making it difficult for both countries to move forward side-by-side, as are conflicting internal goals and policies."     http://www.wealthauthority.com/articles/china-trade-issues-intensify-with-asian-stocks-tumbling/

The ACLU is going weak on free speech.  A disturbing trend favoring liberal interests.  Two items. 1)  Quote: "Now, the ACLU has effectively handed a heckler veto to its donor base. All it takes is a large enough social media mob or letter-writing campaign, and the organization will roll over and tell a victim of government censorship they're on their own. This is particularly dangerous in any era, but the ACLU picked up millions in new donations for its work opposing the Trump administration, much of it from  have only the slightest inkling of what their actual mission is. When the choice is millions of dollars or sticking to its principles, is the ACLU going to stand up for unpopular voices, even in cases when the liberal consensus is in the wrong? Once, it faced that choice. When the ACLU defended the rights of Neo-Nazis to march through the predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Skokie, Illinois, the result was a mass exodus of members that left the organization with a $500,000 budget deficit (nearly $2 million today). It came at great personal cost, with 20-30 percent of the organization losing their job. But the result of that sacrifice was a landmark Supreme Court ruling that still protects the rights of all Americans to peacefully assemble. The ACLU is no longer a free speech organization. It's still an organization that will protect free speech and litigate free speech cases, yes. But any coward can defend popular speech, or speech that's considered within the bounds of decency. For a century, the ACLU stood above the partisan and political fray and defended principles, not people.Alas, absent a reversal, that chapter in the ACLU's history is over. Gone are the days where they abided by the timeless classical liberal maxim that "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." Welcome to the days of "I may not agree with what you say. Sorry."  http://freebeacon.com/blog/aclu-no-longer-free-speech-organization/?    2) Quote: "It seems fairly clear to me what's happening here. Leadership would probably like the ACLU to remain a pro-First Amendment organization, but they would also like to remain in good standing with their progressive allies. Unfortunately, young progressives are increasingly hostile to free speech, which they view as synonymous with racist hate speech. Speech that impugns marginalized persons is not speech at all, in their view, but violence. This is why a student Black Lives Matter group shut down an ACLU event at the College of William & Mary last year, chanting "liberalism is white supremacy" and "the revolution will not uphold the Constitution." Campus activism is illiberal, and liberal free speech norms conflict with the broad protection of emotional comfort that the young, modern left demands. The ACLU's capitulation to the anti-speech left should serve as a wake up call for true liberals. What has taken place on campus over the last decade does matter, and though the scope of the problem is frequently overstated, we should all be concerned when the nation's premiere civil liberties organization is increasingly afraid of defending the First Amendment—not because the Trump administration scares them, but because college students do."    http://reason.com/blog/2018/06/21/aclu-leaked-memo-free-speech?
