Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters attended a Nation of Islam convention where the hate group’s leader, Louis Farrakhan, defended Palestinian suicide bombers.
The convention, which took place in California in 2002, is just the latest tie to emerge between Democrats and the Nation of Islam, a black nationalist group known for being viciously anti-Semitic.
“We have Maxine Waters here,” Farrakhan told the convention audience, gesturing to the seats behind him, “our great congresswoman from this area.” The audience cheered Waters’ name.
Later in his speech, Farrakhan excused Palestinian suicide bombers and defended Iran for arming Palestinian terrorists.
Joe, no one is robbing banks with these guns. They are all just nuts who aren't concerned with what will happen to themselves. We already have laws against killing people. IMO it is a drug problem and a family problem; we didn't see these kind and quantity of crimes when Mom stayed home with the kids while Dad was at work, there were no psychotropic drugs being handed out like gumdrops, and people identified as crazy got put away for everyone's protection.
A prominent Republican political donor demanded on Saturday that the party pass legislation to restrict access to guns, and vowed not to contribute to any candidates or electioneering groups that did not support a ban on the sale of military-style firearms to civilians.
Al Hoffman Jr., a Florida-based real estate developer who was a leading fund-raiser for George W. Bush’s campaigns, said he would seek to marshal support among other Republican political donors for a renewed assault weapons ban.
“For how many years now have we been doing this — having these experiences of terrorism, mass killings — and how many years has it been that nothing’s been done?” Mr. Hoffman said in an interview. “It’s the end of the road for me.”
This whole thing is very disturbing. I was set to vote for Hillary and all of the sudden anti-Hillary ads just popped up on FB and told me to vote for Trump. I’m so weak and fragile I just said “yes, Comrade.”
Don’t expect such an indictment. Mueller chose his targets because he knows they will never appear in court, never contest the charges, and cannot be arrested or extradited as Russian citizens. Mueller’s unprecedented prosecution raises three novel arguments: first, that speaking out about American politics requires a foreign citizen to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act; second, that speaking out about American politics requires a foreign citizen list their source and expenditure of funding to the Federal Election Commission; and third, that mistakes on visa applications constitute “fraud” on the State Department. All appear to borrow from the now-discredited “honest services” theories Mueller’s team previously used in corporate and bribery cases, cases the Supreme Court overturned for their unconstitutional vagueness. The indictment raises serious issues under the free speech clause of the First Amendment and due process rights under the Fifth Amendment.
Thanks for the logical and calming words. And thanks for not ripping in to me.
But I'm still not convinced one way or the other. Believe it or not, I am willing to listen to both sides, but we do have a problem. Perhaps Archie Bunker was right when he said the way to stop airliner hijackings (very popular in the '60s) was to "arm all the passengers. I don't know if that is a good idea on an airliner, but maybe arming the teachers (or at least allowing trained volunteer teachers to be armed) would get the killers out of the schools (and into the churches, or other gun free zones).
Mass shootings are a problem. What is a solution that works? "Just enforce all the current rules" is not working and won't work.
“At least we know what our federal agents were doing recently while they were too busy to stop school shootings,” Carlson said. “They’ve been chasing down bad Facebook trolls.”
andandand then Trump is impeached andandand leaves on a helicopter andandand then Queen Hillary I is coronated.
I had trouble following the all caps.
What laws are they accused of breaking? Title and section?
The question everyone and anyone should ask is, “Where the hell was the DOJ.”
