She was America’s first saint, a tireless advocate who founded an upstate orphanage, a school for girls in Washington Heights and 67 organizations for the needy in the late 1880s. But she wasn’t good enough to be named one of New York’s seven most important women.

It appears most Democrats and their friends in the media have moved on from their Russia-collusion obsession. However, that just means they have found a new focus. Now they tell us President Trump is the de facto leader of America’s massive white supremacy movement. How do they know this? They’ve used their Captain Midnight decoder rings to decipher hidden messages to America’s militant, transcontinental Caucasian hordes.
Joe Biden said he was vice president when the deadly high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, took place. Except, it happened in 2018, more than a year after he left office -- the latest gaffe by the Democratic presidential front-runner. Biden told reporters in Iowa on Saturday that “those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president.” But when they visited Capitol Hill to talk with members of Congress, lawmakers were “basically cowering, not wanting to see them. They did not want to face it on camera.” The former vice president was making a point

Jeffrey Epstein told prison guards and fellow inmates that he believed someone had tried to kill him in the weeks before his death, a source has revealed to DailyMail(dot)com. The insider, who had seen the disgraced financier on several occasions during his incarceration at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, also claims that the normally reserved Epstein seemed to be in good spirits. 'There was no indication that he might try to take his own life,' the source told DailyMail(dot)com. 'From what I saw, he was finally starting to adjust to prison. I think he was comforted by the rigidity of his new life'.
Rudy Giuliani reacted to Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged suicide Saturday morning, asking a series of questions about his death and stating, “Committing suicide on suicide watch doesn’t happen.”Authorities found the convicted pedophile dead in his cell early Saturday morning, according to several reports. Epstein committed suicide via hanging, according to reports from the New York Times and ABC News. The Associated Press reported that the “medical examiner’s office in Manhattan confirmed Epstein’s death.” Many, including Giuliani, have questions.
Jeffrey Epstein dead: William Barr ‘appalled’ over pedophile’s apparent suicide, FBI probing
replies
US Attorney General William Barr said he’s “appalled” that Jeffrey Epstein was able to kill himself while in federal custody, as the FBI announced Saturday that it would be probing the convicted pedophile’s death.
“Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered,” Barr said.
“In addition to the FBI’s investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein’s death,” Barr added.
The stunning developments come a day after a trove of newly unsealed documents implicated a number of powerful people in Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking ring.
DES MOINES —As Democrats descend on Iowa to kick off a six-month sprint to the first primary vote, party activists are increasingly anxious that former vice president Joe Biden, the consistent polling leader, has not disposed of persistent questions about whether he is well-equipped to take on President Trump. Adding to the Democrats’ nervousness is that a clear alternative has yet to emerge. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) is rising in the polls and has a high-quality campaign organization, but doubts linger in some quarters about the appeal of her left-leaning policies in a general election. Sens. Kamala D. Harris (Calif.)
DES MOINES — Joe Biden said Saturday that he misspoke when he botched a line about poor children and white children while campaigning in Iowa this week, adding that he doubted anyone misunderstood him.“Look, I misspoke,” Biden told reporters at a gun violence forum here. “I meant to say ‘wealthy.’ I’ve said it 15 [times]. On the spot, I explained it. At that very second, I explained it. And so, the fact of the matter is that I don’t think anybody thinks that I meant anything other than what I said I meant.” Biden’s remarks came after the former vice president said during an event in Iowa on Thursday,
DES MOINES, Iowa — Joe Biden is calling for a cultural shift around how the country thinks about gun ownership."The Second Amendment — no amendment is in fact absolute," Biden told the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund's Presidential Gun Sense Forum Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa."You cannot stand up in this hall and yell fire. That's not freedom of speech because they know the consequence of yelling fire: There'll be a stampede, and someone will get hurt," the former vice president said. The national conversation regarding gun control should extend beyond regulating who can buy a firearm to, for example,
This morning, accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is found dead of an alleged suicide. Only his death will not stop the release of the names, or the civil lawsuit against the Epstein estate from continuing. The cunning of Bill and Hillary Clinton is not a well-kept secret. And Epstein’s death will not provide them any cover. And there is a lot to cover up. Pilot logs and Jeffrey Epstein’s Little Black book among them.

Joe Biden possesses the elixir of ordinariness, despite the appearance of having picked his hair and teeth out of a catalog. One of the traits of ordinariness is inconsistency. Another is hypocrisy. These are pardonable flaws among the ordinary, but we expect our leaders to at least remember their lines. Biden’s performance this week shows why he might win the Democratic nomination, but still lose the 2020 election.
On Wednesday, Biden and Cory Booker attended Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, to launch an opportunist attack on Donald Trump for, in Biden’s words, ‘fanning the flames of white supremacy’. On Thursday, after Elizabeth Warren and Beto O’Rourke
The Trump administration asked a federal panel to revoke the exclusive right of a public sector union to represent immigration judges in collective bargaining Friday.
The union, the National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ), has been at odds with the administration over substantive policy directives and the independence of the immigration courts.
Federal law defines management officials as “any individual employed by an agency in a position the duties and responsibilities of which require or authorize the individual to formulate, determine, or influence the policies of the agency.”
NBC Universal will not be releasing controversial movie The Hunt in theaters next month as planned, following a backlash over the film's themes that depicts 'privileged' vacationers hunting 'deplorables' for sport. There have been widespread objections to the movie's plot, particularly in light of the recent mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton that left 31 dead. The studio's decision came just one day after President Trump lambasted the film, calling its creators 'racist' and saying the movie was 'made to inflame and cause chaos'.
Fifty years ago tonight, followers of Charles Manson murdered actress Sharon Tate, her unborn child, Jay Sebring (hairstylist to Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen, Jim Morrison, and other stars), coffee heiress Abigail Folger, her boyfriend and director Roman Polanski’s boyhood friend Wojciech Frykowski, and 18-year-old Steven Parent, who unfortunately visited the property’s caretaker to examine a radio for sale at the wrong time.
Street urchins killed beautiful people and then delivered an encore to their ugly performance later that weekend at the home of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. Months later, when the culprits became clear, the counterculture that birthed the Manson Family attempted, unsuccessfully, to lionize Charles Manson.

Rep. Joaquin Castro learned a very important life lesson the other day. It turns out the gun-toting, Bible-clinging Trump supporters in San Antonio don’t take kindly to a politician who disrespects their brisket.
Castro, D-Texas, recently published a list of President Trump's top San Antonio donors. He also doxed their places of employment.
“Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders’,” Castro wrote on Twitter.

Attorney General William Barr announced following Jeffrey Epstein’s apparent suicide Saturday morning that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz launched an investigation into the circumstances of the accused child sex trafficker’s death in his prison cell.This move is in addition to the FBI inquiry already underway.

“Epstein, because of his earlier suicide attempt, was in a special area of the lockup where he was monitored 24/7. He was wearing paper clothes with which he could not have hung himself,” he said, “and he was given blankets which he could not use to hang himself.”

Our laws are well-crafted and fit our culture of responsible gun ownership and individual freedom,” Sununu wrote in his veto message.

Jeffrey Epstein, the millionaire financier and accused sex trafficker, is dead by apparent suicide, according to the U.S. Justice Department.
Epstein was in his federal jail cell in Manhattan but was not on suicide watch at the time of his death, multiple people familiar with the investigation told NBC News.
His death comes a little over two weeks after he was found injured and in a fetal position in his cell at the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. He was semiconscious with marks on his neck at the time.
In July, two sources told NBC News that Epstein was on suicide watch.
Several of Jeffrey Epstein's victims may pursue civil cases against the alleged sex trafficker after his Saturday morning suicide ended the criminal case against him, according to lawyer Lisa Bloom.
(Snip)The alleged victims, however, may still seek financial damages by pursuing civil cases against Epstein's estate.
"On behalf of the victims I represent, we would have preferred [Jeffrey Epstein] lived to face justice," the attorney representing some victims said in a statement. "Our civil cases can still proceed against his estate. Victims deserve to be made whole for the lifelong damage he caused. We’re just getting started."
The New York Department of Financial Services is investigating the National Rifle Association for its role in offering now-banned insurance products for gun owners in the state — and earning at least $14 million in the process, The Post has learned. The investigation, which hasn’t been previously reported, is an outgrowth of consent agreements last year with insurance companies, ending the sale of NRA-branded Carry Guard insurance, and other similar products, in New York, sources said. Carry Guard insurance provided gun owners as much as $150,000 for their legal bills if they were arrested for a shooting and claimed it was done in self-defense. New York state
Billionaire Stephen Ross, whose assets include the middling NFL franchise Miami Dolphins, overpriced fitness cult SoulCycle, luxury spa-masquerading-as-gym Equinox, and Hudson Yards, home to CNN and HBO, is under fire this week for hosting a high-dollar fundraise for President Donald Trump in the Hamptons.Aggrieved libs have demanded a boycott of Ross's companies, at least the ones they recently became aware of, as part of an effort to raise the cost, in their view, of enabling white supremacy. Ross reportedly "freaked out" over the backlash, but not enough to deter him from going ahead with the fundraiser.

Hours later, he was dead in his jail cell.
Officials call it suicide. I'm thinking Arkancide.
(Snip)He was on suicide watch. I wonder if any of the suicide watchers loses his job.
Likely not. The public doesn't mind if we dispose of this rat without a trial.
But many rich and powerful people will also escape a trial, including the prosecutors who let him skate in Florida a decade ago.
Like death and taxes, obesity research and dietary advice are both unavoidable and to be avoided at all costs.
Tamar Haspel of the Washington Post became fully convinced last month by a new study that says we know highly processed food makes us fat. (She's not alone.) Others argue that it's not just processed food but cheap processed food that makes us fat. Still others are equally convinced now that genes and molecular stuff make us fat. Or maybe it just boils down to our gut bacteria.

President Trump lashed out at New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman early Saturday, claiming that the veteran journalist had misrepresented his trips to Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso this week to meet with people affected by last week's mass shootings there.
“Maggie Haberman of the Failing @nytimes reported that I was annoyed by the lack of cameras inside the hospitals in Dayton & El Paso, when in fact I was the one who stated, very strongly, that I didn’t want the Fake News inside & told my people NOT to let them in.

Following the weekend social media circulation of clips from The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) conference in Atlanta, and news that the political affiliation of at least one of the mass shooters leaned far to the left, the reality that more and more young people are embracing a violent form of socialism is moving from amusing to disconcerting.

Many reactions to the Saturday morning suicide death of alleged sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein expressed suspicion around the circumstances of his death.
Epstein allegedly hanged himself in his cell at the Manhattan Correctional Center early Saturday morning, despite previous reports that he was under suicide watch. He had been indicted on several charges of exploiting underage girls, sex trafficking, and other crimes related to activities that took place between 2002 and 2005 over several different locations, including the billionaire's private island in the Bahamas.
His death follows the unsealing of 2,000 pages of documents on Friday that implicated many other high-profile individuals in Epstein's alleged sex trafficking ring.
The Democrats’ leading 2020 candidate, Joe Biden, posted a tweet suggesting he would bar the arrests and deportation of illegal migrants who are hired by companies in place of Americans.
“This is who Donald Trump is: a president determined to terrorize immigrant communities and rip apart families — at the border and across our country,” Biden tweeted images of migrants’ upset children in Morton, Mississippi. The photos were taken as enforcement agencies arrested hundreds of foreign migrants who were working in local slaughterhouses.
“We are a nation that will end these cruel policies,” Biden wrote.

A lot of very powerful Democrats are breathing sighs of relief. Dead men tell no tales, and the man whose tales could sink the reputations of and potentially incarcerate a slew of the most important political figures in the US (and a member of the British Royal Family) will be making no deals with prosecutors implicating bigger fish.
The cynics who insisted that he would never live to bring down so many powerful people have been vindicated. Of course, we don’t know any details of his demise, so theoretically it is possible that he took his own life for purely personal psychological concerns.

The 2016 IRS data analyzed showed that individuals who relocated to Florida brought in a combined adjusted gross income (AGI) of nearly $30.2 billion.
“Meanwhile, people who left took roughly $12.5 billion in income with them, leaving Florida to enjoy a net influx of about $17.7 billion in AGI,” the study said.

Trump Plays Long Game on China
replies
Of much greater importance to the political and strategic course of the United States than the shabby attempt to portray President Trump as a racist is the developing showdown between the United States and China.The febrile Democratic effort to unseat the president by unconventional means is no longer the result of the shock of Trump’s having defeated the entire political class nearly three years ago. It is in some measure a credit to his invulnerability in most policy areas, especially the economy, in moving to reduce illegal immigration, and in strengthening the country’s strategic position.

Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is dead of an apparent suicide, law enforcement sources said Saturday. A gurney carrying a man who looked like Epstein was wheeled out of the Manhattan Correctional Center around 7:30 a.m. The ambulance went to New York Downtown Hospital.

Five years ago, on August 9, 2014, Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson, Missouri, by police officer Darren Wilson. The death, and the claim that Brown was shot with his hands up asking not to shoot, sparked riots and launched the Black Lives Matter Movement to national prominence. But the narrative was based on a lie. Brown was shot because he attacked and attempted to take Wilson’s pistol. His hands weren’t up, and he didn’t ask not to shoot, as an Obama-Holder Justice Department investigation later proved.

America's debate over guns has gotten so stale that a secondary argument over "thoughts and prayers" had to break out to keep it interesting. On one side, there are largely law-abiding firearms owners, frequently immersed to some extent in gun culture, who fear being disarmed in response to crimes mostly being committed by other people. On the other side are people who largely lack familiarity with guns who don't see why certain weapons are necessary for civilian use or how mild restrictions would really disarm or even inconvenience anybody in the first group.
The two camps have largely talked past each other, using the same set of arguments, for decades.

The White House is reportedly planning an executive order that would give the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) a role in determining what gets censored on big tech platforms.
According to CNN, which obtained a draft copy of the order, the White House will ask the FCC to develop regulations aimed at clarifying the laws determining how social media companies are allowed to police speech on their platforms. The existence of the draft order was first revealed by Politico earlier this week.
The draft executive order is currently titled “Protecting Americans from Online Censorship.”

A string of high-profile gaffes within the past 24-hours have renewed doubts, especially on the left, over former Vice President Joe Biden’s capabilities as a candidate.
When Biden first appeared in Iowa this week, it was as a returning champion. Not only had the frontrunner bested his most vocal challenger at the second Democrat presidential debate last week, but Biden had also succeeded in deflecting some of the attention from his mounting family troubles by attacking President Donald Trump.
Even critics, like former Obama strategist David Axelrod, admitted Biden’s campaign seemed to be finding its groove.

Anchondo said his brother and his whole family are Republicans and support Trump.
Joe Biden is now positioned as the defender of the Obama administration’s wretched track record in office. His sole source of electoral strength among Democrats, particularly among African-Americans, is his identification with the nation’s first black president. But that connection is also turning out to have a considerable downside, as the leftward shift of the party’s activist base leaves Obama’s 8 years looking too measured for the radicals and the Democrat contenders pandering to them. Meanwhile, the stark reality of a failed presidency haunts Biden’s appeal to swing voters.Yesterday at the Iowa State Fair, Biden was asked about the Obama administration’s China policy

Red Flags and White Supremacists
replies
For the past two years, the left’s 'go to' words were “Russia,” “Mueller,” and “collusion.” Mueller’s investigation and report were a big swing and a miss and not surprisingly these words have quickly been erased from the vocabularies of cable news anchors and their panels.
On a dime, coincident with a handful of mass shootings, the left’s new favorite words are “racist” and “white supremacist.” (snip) How long will it take before states, or the federal government, if a red flag law becomes nationalized, start to view any and all Trump supporters as “posing a danger” based on their skin color, gender, religion, and opposition to open borders?
The seven men gunned to death in a Lincoln Park garage on February 14, 1929 — Peter and Frank Gusenberg, Albert Kachellek, Adam Heyer, Reinhardt Schwimmer, Albert Weinshank, and John May — were mobsters. Members or associates of Bugs Moran’s North Side Gang, which competed with Al Capone for control of bootlegging in Chicago, they were just as responsible as their killers for the crime wave that made the Prohibition Era the deadliest decade of the 20th century up to that point.
Still, those violent deaths shocked the American public and led to enormous changes in the nation’s laws and culture — far more than mass murders in our own era.
Newly unsealed court documents contain a slew of horrifying allegations against the billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and those in his inner circle, including claims that a 15-year-old Swedish girl was essentially held hostage on his private island, and that friends of Epstein’s had taken her passport and phone, and demanded sex from her.
These claims come from nearly a huge tranche of documents recently unsealed by the United States Second Circuit Court of Appeals related to the defamation lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre against his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. As part of the case, Giuffre’s legal team cited testimony from Rinaldo Rizzo,
Mitch McConnell has confirmed that when the Senate reconvenes in September to discuss new federal gun-control measures, “universal background checks” will “lead the discussion.” If that is the case, the Senate should listen carefully to the proposals on offer, and then politely decline to assent.
Absent further examination, “universal background checks” appear to represent the inoffensive extension of an already existing principle. At present, the federal government mandates that an instant background check be run prior to the completion of all commercial and interstate firearms transactions. This being so, the argument runs, there can be nothing wrong with Washington extending that rule to private transfers,
The European Union is poised to mandate that Israeli products made in contested territories carry consumer warning labels, a decision that could trigger American anti-boycott laws and open up what legal experts describe as a "Pandora's box" of litigation, according to multiple sources involved in the legal dispute who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.
The Advocate General of the European Court of Justice recently issued non-binding opinion arguing that EU law requires Israeli-made products to be labeled as coming from "settlements" and "Israeli colonies."
The decision was seen as a major win for supporters of the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS,
The niece of civil-rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. has a question for Democrats who accuse President Trump of being a white supremacist.
“I’d like to ask anyone who calls him that — have they ever met one?” Alveda King said Thursday.
Ms. King, a Trump supporter, said on Fox News that she knows all about white supremacists.
“I’ve had the experience of going head-to-head with genuine racists,” she said. “Back in the 20th Century, I was a youth organizer. At the time, my uncle, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King was killed [in 1968]… I was in a home that was bombed.
Leaked FBI documents indicate "black identity extremists" and animal rights activists are among the agency's top counterterrorism priorities under President Donald Trump.
The FBI's priority list documents, obtained by The Young Turks Thursday, lay out the Bureau's 2018 fiscal year focal points in counterterrorism, cyber crime and counterintelligence.
The 2018-19 "Threat Guidance" documents describe black identity extremists (BIEs) as those who "use force or violence in violation of criminal law in response to perceived racism and injustice in American society." The files claimed some BIEs acted in hopes of "establishing a separate black homeland or autonomous black social institutions, communities or governing organizations within the USA."
In answer to a student's question at the Iowa State Fair on Friday, former Vice President Joe Biden proclaimed that there are "at least three" genders. When asked to explain what they were, Biden dismissed the young woman's question. "Don't play games with me, kid," he said irritably. Then he grabbed her arm forcefully and added "by the way, the first one to come out for marriage was me."
Katie is a young student from Iowa.
She asked former VP Joe Biden how many genders there are.
Joe answered “at least 3.”
When asked to clarify
In America, people are free to support candidates of their choice. They’re also free to boycott companies they don’t like.
And, as the matter of real estate mogul Stephen Ross and President Trump reminds us, they’re also free to be stupid.
Only dead brains can explain the overblown “backlash” over a Ross-hosted Trump fundraiser in the Hamptons. Despite over-the-top media coverage, it’s a few noisy guys on a street corner by today’s jungle-law standards.
Just how much trouble will Bruce Ohr’s interview notes cause the FBI? As described by the Washington Post and Politico, it might create no small amount of embarrassment in the short term — and maybe worse down the road. According to Ohr, the FBI knew full well that Steele had an anti-Trump agenda months before the bureau relied on his dossier to get a FISA warrant on Carter Page, but never disclosed it to the FISA judge. Ohr expressed skepticism about the veracity of Steele’s claims well before that too: Heavily redacted FBI memos released Thursday show that while the FBI formally cut ties with a former British intelligence officer
For two decades, analysts have likened the squabble between India and Pakistan over Kashmir to “two bald men fighting over a comb.”
Much of the contested area’s land is inhospitably frigid, mountainous terrain. Much of the rest is high, rolling foothills of little more than thorn scrub and coarse grass, where wild sheep outnumber people.
Yet India and Pakistan have tugged over the territory since 1948. Twice, the hostilities have broken out into hot wars. Indian Prime Minster Narendra Modi recently made a bold move to consolidate control over the lands on the Indian side of the Line of Control. He moved more military forces into the region and asked pilgrims,
A fallen veteran received an emotional homecoming as travelers at a Texas airport gave an impromptu welcome honoring the return of his remains.
Col. Roy Knight’s body was recently recovered and identified after being shot down over Vietnam in 1967. He was being returned home to Dallas at the same airport where he waved goodbye to his five-year-old son 52 years ago when he was deployed. [ video]
The homecoming was reported by Jackson Proskow, Washington bureau chief for Canada’s Global News, who chronicled the moment in a now-viral Twitter thread that he shared while traveling home to Washington, D.C.
First day of school photos are precious but one Louisiana mother's photo is going viral for what her kids are doing in the face of tough times. Jamisha Harris, of Baton Rouge, shared a prayer and photo of her three children--Eugene, 10, Jorden, 8, and Emily, 7--praying before their first day of school Monday. (Snip) What you can't see in the photo is that the Harris family lost their apartment the day before, and Jamisha and her husband recently lost their jobs.
