SHEFFIELD: The Left Isn’t About To Let Another Tragedy Go To Waste
President Joe Biden wasted no time exploiting the tragic deaths of at least 10 people in Buffalo, New York, in what appears to be a heinous, racially-motivated shooting of black shoppers in a grocery store by a vile white supremacist. Leftists are trying to tie this evil Buffalo crime to former President Donald Trump , Tucker Carlson and Fox News . Yet in the alleged shooter’s own rambling manifesto , he attacks Fox News for what he claims is Jewish leadership’s part of the “replacement theory” conspiracy. (RELATED: CAMMACK: As The Left’s Crime Crisis Worsens, America Needs Its Police Now More Than Ever) The alleged shooter never mentions Carlson — either as an inspiration or anything else. In fact, the alleged Buffalo shooter rejects the U.S. conservative movement as corporatism, and embraces Leftist eco-fascism. In Buffalo Tuesday, Biden claimed the alleged shooter’s white supremacy was driven by “A hate that through the media and politics, the Internet, has … [Read more...] about SHEFFIELD: The Left Isn’t About To Let Another Tragedy Go To Waste

HART: How To Lose Control Of A City
Having lived in Birmingham, AL, Columbia, TN, Memphis, Washington, D.C. New York City, Atlanta and the Florida Panhandle, I can tell you what makes a city good as well as how you lose a city to thugs and the crime they produce. It starts with the mayor and an honest city council backing a well-intentioned police force and DA. If the DA is not Soros-funded and political, that is important. Think the Duke lacrosse team prosecutor or the recent other Democrat DA (Funk) in the Nashville area who went after a Vanderbilt nurse for murder in what was a simple civil case of bad judgement. Uneven prosecution by politically motivated DAs, like the Atlanta embarrassment Paul Howard practiced, hurts a community. The first sign that police have lost control of your town is when loud mufflers and vulgar music blaring from cars goes unaddressed. What follows is inevitable “street racing” and crime. It is up to citizens and voters to report and hold to account officials for enforcing laws … [Read more...] about HART: How To Lose Control Of A City

White House Apologizes To Democrats For Following The Law
The White House attempted to assure Democratic lawmakers Tuesday that it recognized the negative impacts of its ongoing investigation into the solar industry, Axios reported. Top White House officials, including National Economic Council Director Brian Deese, made the assurances during a conference call with nine Democratic senators, according to Axios. Deese and the other officials reportedly told the Democrats that the probe’s impacts were a “core issue of energy and economic security, as well as a supply chain issue.” In March, the Department of Commerce opened the investigation into whether dominant Chinese solar panel makers had routed products through four southeast Asian nations — Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam — to circumvent Obama-era tariffs. Pro-tariff groups backed the investigation, which was requested by small California-based solar panel maker Auxin, arguing the alleged circumvention harmed American industry and jobs. “The White House should stand … [Read more...] about White House Apologizes To Democrats For Following The Law
DOJ Sues Casino Mogul And GOP Megadonor Steve Wynn To Register As Agent For China
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline The Department of Justice on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against casino billionaire and former Republican National Committee finance chair Steve Wynn that would force him to register as a foreign agent, after Wynn allegedly lobbied the Trump Administration on behalf of the Chinese government to deport a Chinese political asylum seeker.
