TWO ICE BUILDINGS HIT WITH GUNFIRE IN SAN ANTONIO
Bullets missed federal officers by two inches!
By Kelen McBreen – AUGUST 14, 2019
The FBI is investigating the shooting of two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) buildings in San Antonio, Texas.
The agency is describing the incidents as “targeted attacks” of federal agents, with bullets missing an employee by only two inches.
Despite the shooting taking place at 3 a.m., multiple federal employees were working in the offices at the time.
Acting Director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Ken Cuccinelli, tweeted out a photo of one of the bullet holes that went through a window.
A special agent in charge of the FBI’s San Antonio division, Christopher Combs, said, “These shootings were cowardly, brazen, violent acts, absolutely without justification and a threat to our entire community.”
“An attempt to attack federal employees is a federal crime with serious consequences. The FBI will relentlessly pursue every lead in this case to find the individuals who are responsible,” he continued.
During a Tuesday press conference, Combs made it clear he thinks the shooter or shooters “did some research” before targeting the building.
“I don’t think there is a question that they knew which floor the ICE office is on,” he said.
Combs also stressed the fact that other ICE buildings across the country are in danger of being attacked as political hostility against the agency continues to be fomented by the left.
“Political rhetoric and misinformation that various politicians, media outlets and activist groups recklessly disseminate to the American people regarding the ICE mission only serve to further encourage these violent acts,” ICE spokesperson Nina Pruneda stated.
Last month, an ANTIFA member was shot and killed by police as he threw Molotov cocktails at an ICE facility while armed with a semi-automatic rifle.
Students sign petition to ban ‘offensive’ white man in crosswalk signs

GWU students recently voted to change the school’s “Colonials” mascot and told Campus Reform that President Barack Obama is the best president in history.
-
Campus Reform went undercover to George Washington University to ask students if they supported changing the “offensive” and “oppressive” white man in crosswalk lights, as well.
With the rise of politically correct culture, students and universities have vehemently pushed for diversity and inclusivity movements, resulting in many things being labeling “offensive.”
In the past, students have signed fake petitions to ban “offensive” holidays like Valentine’s Day and even Christmas to push diversity and inclusion.
“I can see like, I guess, why some students have a problem with it… I’ll totally sign that.” Tweet This

Amid these ongoing diversity and inclusivity movements, Campus Reform went to George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where students previously voted to ban their “offensive” Colonials mascot. GW students also previously told Campus Reform that President Barack Obama is the best president in U.S. history.
Campus Correspondent Ethan Cai asked George Washington students if they supported changing “offensive” crosswalk lights because the “walk” sign only portrays an image of a white man.
How far will this movement of diversity and inclusion go? Where will the line be drawn for what is considered offensive?
WATCH:
“As we students cross the street, we are told by the symbol of a white man when it is okay to cross,” the fake petition stated. “Many students from diverse backgrounds, including individuals of color, gender fluid individuals, and LGBTQA+ individuals, feel oppressed by this.”

By signing the petition, students “vehemently urge[d] the University to consider changing the crosswalk signs.”
Many students signed Campus Reform’s fake petition. Even one university faculty member expressed support, as well.
“There’s definitely a lack of representation,” one student said about the crosswalks. Another said that she thought the change would be “one step” to a more welcoming campus environment.

“That’s so cute! Oh my god yeah,” a student said with excitement about the idea. “I can see like, I guess, why some students have a problem with it… I’ll totally sign that.”
“Oh that’s so lit,” another student exclaimed.

Trump Ending Welfare-Dependent Immigration, Saving Taxpayers Billions
By John Binder
President Trump is set to save American taxpayers billions of dollars as his administration announces a new rule on Monday that will essentially ban welfare-dependent legal immigrants from permanently resettling in the United States.
A new regulation set to be published by the Trump administration will ensure that legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using subsidized healthcare services, food stamps, and public housing.
The regulation will be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.
The National Academies of Science released a report two years ago, noting that state and local American taxpayers are billed about $1,600 each year per immigrant to pay for their welfare, where immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households.
A recent Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) study notes that about 63 percent of noncitizen households in the U.S. use at least one form of taxpayer-funded welfare, while only about 35 percent of native-born American households are on welfare. This means that noncitizen households use nearly twice as much welfare as native-born American households.
In California — with the largest noncitizen population in the country at almost 11 million or nearly 30 percent of the state’s total population — more than seven-in-ten, or 72 percent, of households headed by noncitizens are on at least one form of welfare. Compare that to the findings that only about seven-in-twenty, or 35 percent, of native-born households in California are on welfare.
Preventing Americans from being forced to foot the bill for welfare for newly arrived legal immigrants is hugely popular among U.S. voters. A Rasmussen Reports poll conducted in 2017 revealed that more than six-in-ten voters, or 62 percent, said they would support a plan that bans legal immigrants from receiving welfare for at least the first five years of their residency in the country. Roughly 67 percent of swing voters and nearly 60 percent of black Americans said they would support such a plan.
Another 76 percent of U.S. voters said welfare users should be mandated to prove that they are not in the country illegally before being allowed to obtain public benefits, including 74 percent of black Americans, 77 percent of swing voters, and 63 percent of Democrat voters.
Currently, there is an estimated record high of 44.5 million foreign-born residents living in the U.S. This is nearly quadruple the immigrant population in 2000. The vast majority of those arriving in the country every year are low-skilled legal immigrants who compete against working and middle-class Americans for jobs.
‘Bring migrants to Hollywood’: Salvini mocks Richard Gere for wading into Mediterranean crisis
In a stinging rebuke, Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has mockingly suggested that Richard Gere should house migrants in his Hollywood villas after the actor involved himself in the Mediterranean migrant crisis.
The Pretty Woman star felt the wrath of the Italian interior minister after visiting the ‘Open Arms’ ship, which has been stranded in the Mediterranean since it collected over 120 migrants from rafts eight days ago.
The 69-year-old urged the Italian government to “stop demonizing people” and compared the situation to the policy approach taken by US President Donald Trump regarding migrants traveling to the US from Central America.
When the matter was brought to Salvini’s attention by a reporter, he offered an incredulous reply. “I am lost! I hope he gets a tan, that he feels good, but I don’t think he misses anything, so, have a good trip,” he said.
Seemingly intrigued by Gere’s unexpected involvement, the Lega Nord leader subsequently issued a statement offering a tongue-in-cheek solution to the ‘Open Arms’ standoff.
“Given this generous millionaire is voicing concern for the fate of the ‘Open Arms’ migrants, we thank him. He can take them back to Hollywood, on his private plane, all the people aboard and support them in his villas. Thank you, Richard!” Salvini said.
Gere has yet to confirm whether he will take up the suggestion.
WashPo: ‘Free Speech Makes It Difficult to Prosecute White Supremacy’
By Chris Menahan
The Washington Post lamented Thursday that the First Amendment makes it difficult to prosecute “white supremacists” for their political beliefs.
From The Washington Post, “Why free speech makes it difficult to prosecute white supremacy in America”
Federal authorities have used RICO many times to prosecute white prison gangs, but what got the members of organizations such as the Aryan Brotherhood locked up under the statute was not the racism they believed but the acts they committed: crimes including drug trafficking, murder, kidnapping and money laundering.
In the case of mass shootings by those who believe in white supremacy, such as the young white man who allegedly killed 22 people at a Walmart store in El Paso last weekend, prosecutors don’t need RICO to make a criminal case.
But if they wanted to use RICO to hold accountable the collective ideology that radicalized the shooter, they would need to prove that there was an organized enterprise involved with that ideology, that there was a traceable criminal conspiracy to commit violence and that there was a leader or leaders who instructed others to cause harm.
Without that, the collective ideology is not a conspiracy but hate speech. And in the United States, hate speech is not criminal. It’s a right protected by the First Amendment.
C’mon now, where’s your can-do attitude?
This is more like it:
But according to retired law professor G. Robert Blakey, who wrote the RICO statute and is considered the nation’s foremost authority on it, federal authorities should be using RICO to more rigorously investigate white extremist groups without violating free speech protections.
It wouldn’t be easy, he said, but there’s “no excuse” not to try.
Well said. The Bill of Rights is no reason not to start locking people up for their political beliefs!
Incidentally, the Post reported one day earlier how a Trump appointed prosecutor is “putting white supremacists in jail” by hitting them with archaic rioting charges for fighting with antifa (despite one California judge already throwing said rioting charges out for violating the First Amendment):
By the way, if you’re wondering who classifies as a “white supremacist” in modern America, just ask rapidly-rising Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren:
That’s all we need to hear, Liz! Lock him up!
MAN WRONGLY EXPOSED AS “TRUMP DONOR” BY JOAQUIN CASTRO FEARS FOR FAMILY’S SAFETY – HAD ACTUALLY DONATED TO CASTRO
List wrongly identified man as top Trump donor
AUGUST 9, 2019
A man whose name erroneously appears on a Trump donor list propagated by Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) says he needed to go over emergency plans with his family after the list put him in danger.
“Harper Huddleston” and his business were listed as one of Trump’s top San Antonio area donors in a list tweeted out by Castro earlier this week, but Huddleston says the name on the list refers to his retired father, with whom he shares a first name.
“He said the mix-up was because they share the same first name, but have different middle names, though his father does not go by the name Harper,” reported Fox News.
Huddleston says while he’s a Trump supporter, he has actually donated to the mayoral campaign of Joaquin’s brother Julian Castro, who is currently running for president.
The mix-up has put Huddleston and his family in danger, and he, his wife and three children have been forced to review emergency strategies on how to stay safe.
“We convened together as a family and talked about situational awareness, exit strategy, avoiding and exiting conflict, talked about staying low and close to home and just being at our very highest senses,” Huddleston said in an interview with Fox & Friends.
Huddleston said he takes issue with Castro using his large platform as a politician, amplified by the media, to demonize an entire group as racist, and says it has only strengthened his support for Trump.
“All this does is galvanize the interest and reinvigorate making America great again,” he stated.
Despite taking heat from both Republicans and Democrats on the issue, not to mention the fact that two mass shootings were carried out over the weekend in the name of political violence, Castro has yet to delete the tweet.
(THIS IS WHY THEY WANT OUR GUNS AMERICA) – New Hollywood Movie Features Liberal Elites Hunting Conservatives for Sport
‘The Hunt’ is about elite liberals paying to hunt rural, conservative Americans in a safari park.
An upcoming Universal Pictures movie is receiving scrutiny from its own publisher for its graphic depiction of political violence against conservative Americans.
The Hunt is about elite liberals kidnapping conservatives and paying to hunt them in a safari-style theme park in Europe. Watch the trailer here:
It is worth nothing that the movie’s trailer doesn’t exactly imply the film’s premise encourages violence against Trump supporters. The liberals paying to kill conservatives are depicted in a clearly villainous fashion, sipping champagne on private planes as their explain their desire to terrorize rural country bumpkins, who see they as less than human beings.
The conservative ‘prey’ in the movie speak with exaggerated southern accents and other stereotypes commonly utilized by the political left to tar right-leaning Americans. Some of them speak of being proud gun owners.
Betty Gilpin stars as a heroine who seeks to rally the other kidnapped “conservatives” in order to escape the twisted theme park.
The release of such a politically contentious movie is being debated at Universal Pictures, the film’s publisher. After the wake of the politically-charged violence seen at Dayton and El Paso, Texas, Universal is said to be reconsidering its promotional strategy for the movie. ESPN already refused to air an ad for ‘The Hunt’ earlier this summer.
‘The Hunt’ is still slated for release on September 27th, but it’s probably possible it will get delayed or even cancelled as this point. The latter possibility is less likely, as the film’s $18 million budget has already been spent.
It’s unclear what kind of reception the film will receive from the broader public. It’s already been a contentious project in Hollywood, where media elites are presumably less than thrilled to see liberal globalists depicted as callous murderers.

FILM DEPICTS COP KILLERS AS FOLK HEROES ON THE RUN
Lead couple described as a black Bonnie & Clyde
AUGUST 7, 2019
Hollywood is promoting a movie depicting a black couple on the run after killing a police officer during a routine traffic stop gone awry.
The unsettling opening of “Queen and Slim” sets the stage for the leading duo – described as a “black Bonnie and Clyde” – to be on the run from authorities.
“There’s going to be people on both sides in this narrative and hopefully most are on the right side of history and that we’re part of changing that narrative into a space that does justice for black people,” said director Melina Matsoukas. “The main theme is love and how in our community as black people that’s our best power to fight against injustice.”
During the lead duo’s odyssey throughout a Hollywood caricature of America’s deep south, Slim (Daniel Kaluuya) and Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) meet characters seemingly inspired by their exploits.
“Y’all gave us something to believe in, we needed that for real,” said one character, with man asking “Y’all the new Black Panthers? Power to the people.”
The lead couple are later reassured by an older woman telling them “don’t worry, you’re safe here.”
The film’s November 27 release comes two months after a movie celebrating liberal elites killing stereotypical Trump supporters, called “The Hunt,” hits theaters.
