A major NRA donor is suing the gun-rights organization for fraud, accusing the NRA of improperly using donations it solicited from its members over the past four years for purposes unrelated to its “core mission,” such as expensive clothing and trips for CEO Wayne LaPierre. David Dell’Aquila of Nashville filed the class action lawsuit late Tuesday in federal court in Tennessee. It names Mr. LaPierre, the NRA, and the NRA’s associated charitable foundation as defendants. “In their solicitations, Defendants alleged that the donations would be used for gun safety education; to promote shooting sports and hunter safety; to foster wildlife conservation; and to protect gun ownership

The “sister” of the Dayton, Ohio, shooter who was killed during the attack identified as a transgender guy—although his family had no idea, according to a report and some of his own social media posts. Connor Betts’ 22-year-old sibling was named by authorities as Megan Betts in the days after the mass shooting, with cops releasing a statement saying relatives had lost “a daughter.” But he apparently went by the name Jordan Cofer, and identified as a male, although he was only “out” to a small circle of friends, according to Splinter News, which spoke to several of those pals anonymously.
A staunch supporter of the rights of immigrants—and a married father of five—was killed last week when an illegal immigrant from El Salvador facing deportation crashed into his motorcycle in Colorado. Sean Buchanan, 45, was driving northbound on Highway 83 on August 2 when Colorado State Patrol say a southbound truck operated by Miguel Ramirez Valiente went off the side of the road, then over-corrected into the wrong lane and crashed into Buchanan's bike, killing him. Valiente, an undocumented immigrant who was slated for deportation eight months earlier, was charged with misdemeanor careless driving with a revoked license
Sens. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker—who are ardent supporters of LGBTQ rights—attended services at a Las Vegas church led by a pastor who has described homosexuality as a sin, according to reports. The Democratic presidential hopefuls separately attended services last week with the Rev. Robert Fowler Sr. at Victory Missionary Baptist Church, one of the state’s largest black churches, according to The Hill.(Snip) “Whether you commit adultery, whether you commit fornication, whether you’re a child molester, you gossip, you lie, you cheat on your taxes, you don’t pay your tithes, things of that nature—all of that is wrapped together as sin,
For years, consumers have complained about slower, noisier dishwashers that produce dirtier dishes, the result of tighter federal efficiency regulations that the Trump administration is now seeking to unload. The Energy Department last month proposed a rule to create a new dishwasher product class that would finish a normal cycle in an hour or less by using less stringent energy standards than permitted under the current rules. Sam Kazman, general counsel of the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute, which led the charge for the regulatory clean-up, said the ever-tighter restrictions on energy and water have produced machines that take twice as long without getting dishes as scrubbed
Lagos—Blessing was only six years old when her mother arranged for her to become an unpaid housemaid for a family in the Nigerian city of Abuja, on the promise they would put her through school. In her home town in southwest Nigeria, her mother had trouble making enough money to feed her three children. But when Blessing arrived in Abuja, instead of going to school, the family worked her round-the-clock, beat her with an electrical wire if she forgot one of her chores and fed her rotten leftovers.(Snip) Africa has the highest prevalence of slavery, with more than

The National Rifle Association planned to purchase a $6million mansion in Dallas for its chief executive Wayne LaPierre last year, newly leaked records have revealed. Discussions about the property acquisition, which ultimately did not happen, are reportedly under scrutiny by New York officials conducting an ongoing investigation into the gun-lobby's tax exempt status and allegations of financial misconduct. Two people familiar with the records told The Washington Post that the NRA wired tens of thousands of dollars to a corporate entity that was going to be making the purchase in 2018.(Snip) It featured a 10,000-square-foot French mansion with four bedrooms
Democratic presidential hopeful Marianne Williamson on Wednesday laid out more details in her plan to pay out financial reparations for slavery in the U.S., saying a council made up of black leaders should oversee a payout of between $200 billion and $500 billion. “When it comes to paying reparations for slavery, on an emotional, psychological and spiritual level, we cannot afford not to,” said Ms. Williamson, an author and self-help expert. “Until we do, this cycle of violence that began in the 1600s and continues to this day will continue to haunt our psyche.” Ms. Williamson called for setting up a council
Ilhan Omar has been seen getting up close and personal with married aide Tim Mynett, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Last week, DailyMailTV revealed Omar was dining and holding hands with a mystery man at a secluded Italian restaurant outside of Los Angeles back in March. That man can now be identified as Mynett, who had tried to prevent a bystander from taking a video of them. The Minnesota congresswoman, 37, has been carrying on with Mynett, 38, a campaign fundraising strategist, for several months, according to a source.(Snip) Omar's camp has paid Mynett's company—E Street Group—more than $250K in consulting fees
A police chief in Texas is apologizing after two cops on horseback were caught on camera leading a black suspect by a rope through city streets, acknowledging the officers showed “poor judgment.” Galveston Police Chief Vernon Hale said the officers “clipped” a line to the handcuffs of suspect Donald Neely, 43, as he was being led to a Mounted Patrol Unit staging area after he was arrested for criminal trespassing on Saturday. “First and foremost, I must apologize to Mister Neely for this unnecessary embarrassment,” Hale said in a statement late Monday. “Although this is a trained technique and best practice in some scenarios,
Seven times this year, a gunman has opened fire in a U.S. public place, killing at least three people. One shooter is suspected of being a white supremacist. One was an Elizabeth Warren supporter. And two were black. Yet fears over rising white nationalist attacks after the El Paso massacre threaten to obscure what studies describe as the big picture about mass killings: that they represent a small fraction of annual gun deaths, that they are not surging, and that about half are committed by whites, not a share out of line with the general U.S. populace.

A now-suspended Twitter account that appeared to belong to the Dayton mass shooter showed extreme-left postings in which he lamented President Trump’s election and encouraged people to cut fences at immigration detention centers, according to reports. Though the Twitter account @iamthespookster does not bear 24-year-old Connor Betts’ name, it does include selfies that resemble known images of him. The Washington Post captured over 3,000 tweets from the account, which was created in December 2013.(Snip)
The account, which had 301 followers, was taken down by Twitter late Sunday amid speculation it belonged to Betts.

Hollywood Actress Rosanna Arquette is apologizing for being born white, saying she’s ashamed of the privilege she believes her skin brings.
“I’m sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me. And I feel so much shame,” the Pulp Fiction actor said on Wednesday.

It’s not clear exactly why the award-winning actress, whose net worth is estimated at about $9 million, announced her shame for being white. But the Crashing star is certainly no stranger to outrageous statements.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic primary frontrunner, made another gaffe Thursday when he told a crowd in Iowa that “poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.”
Biden, who famously directed supporters to a wrong number during last month’s debate -- and recently misidentified the sites of recent mass shootings -- quickly corrected himself after some applause from the crowd at the Asian & Latino Coalition PAC, and finished, “wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids.”
Biden, who in 2006 drew criticism with a comment about Indian-Americans moving to Delaware, the state that Biden represented when he served in the U.S. Senate,
On Wednesday, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee posted a lengthy social media diatribe attacking conservatives. Lee smeared Christians as anti-LGBT “bigoted f***s” and promised a rainbow painted White House, Planned Parenthood abortion clinics on every street, and “a gargantuan metal mountain emblazoned with the face of Hillary Clinton” made from conservatives’ confiscated guns, among other niceties.(Video) "You 'Trumpsters' better pray that liberals never gain control of the [White House] again because we are going to pay you back so f***ing hard for all this s***," the musician posted
Who says President Trump never has a kind word for CNN? In a tweet Wednesday, the president said Fox News Channel is inferior in at least one respect to the network that his rallies regularly target with chants about how much it “sucks.” “Watching Fake News CNN is better than watching Shepard Smith, the lowest rated show on @FoxNews,” Mr. Trump wrote.

The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report on Thursday that calls for letting agricultural land return to the wilderness and for people to eat more plants and fewer animals.
The report reiterates the globalist organization’s claim that man’s use of natural resources to improve people’s lives around the world is making “global warming” worse and will make food more scarce, more expensive, and less nutritional.
“The cycle is accelerating,” NASA climate scientist Cynthia Rosenzweig, a co-author of the report, said in an Associated Press report. “The threat of climate change affecting people’s food on their dinner table is increasing.”

Even as evidence mounts of the health problems associated with marijuana, New York has insisted on joining other greedy states scrambling to legalize this deceptively dangerous drug.
It makes no sense at a time when American youth is suffering from an unprecedented mental health crisis.
And, in all honesty, we cannot rule out a connection between increasing marijuana use, mental illness and the recent spate of mass shootings by disturbed young males.
If you ever wondered why the FBI would ignore warnings from Russia about the Boston Marathon bombers; or if you ever wondered how the FBI could overlook the warnings from local residents about the San Bernardino terrorists; or if you ever wondered how and why the FBI would ignore reports from the Florida sheriff about the Pulse Nightclub terrorist; or if you ever wondered why the FBI ignored the repeated warnings about the Parkland shooter…. well, here’s the answer. Try to fathom this focused stupidity.

“Proud firearm owner” Theresa Inacker drew a straight line from a woman’s reproductive rights to her right to defend her body “in a manner she chooses” during CNN’s gun violence town hall Wednesday.

Christopher Steele, the ex-British spy who compiled the salacious anti-Trump dossier that sparked the Russia investigation, feared Congressional inquiries, according to new documents released Thursday night.
The surprising revelation was the most interesting detail among the 34 pages of FBI agent interview notes with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. Known as 302s, the notes document FBI agents’ interviews with Mr. Ohr.
In May 2017, Mr. Ohr told the agents Mr. Steele was “worried” about the upcoming Senate testimony of then-FBI Director James Comey. The 302s do not indicate specifically what he feared Mr. Comey might say, but he was especially concerned about questions

Despite the well-documented violence of the radical left Antifa group -- the Department of Homeland Security classifies it as “domestic terrorist violence” – not one of the 23 Democrats running for president would condemn Antifa when repeatedly asked by CNSNews.com over the course of 12 business days. The Trump administration did respond, within a day, condemning Antifa. In emails and telephone calls to the press offices and campaigns of the 23 Democrats running and to the Trump campaign, CNSNews.com asked the candidates to answer two questions about Antifa based on background about the group reported by Politico.
