Extract – Two (2) Posts by Packratt1145: #43. To: misterwhite (#7) The sign was posted in response to the cops paying her for sex after she turned 18. I can understand how someone might possibly reach that conclusion based on the wording of the article posted here; however, that does not appear to be correct according to a report dated January 10, 2014. See http://oaklandlocal.com/2014/01/...ct-clear-channel-outdoor/ That report says, "Seven huge billboards were installed this week [meaning, the week of January 19, 2014] on Clear Channel properties on well-traveled highways and roads – the I-80 and 580 interchange, 980, Martin Luther King Boulevard – as a donation ...

The dangers of de-policing — will cops just stand down?
Post Date: 2016-06-29 13:38:35 by Gatlin

The death of yet another NYPD officer, killed in the line of duty after an incident this weekend, offers more proof that police officers across America are under siege. They are under fire in the streets, in the media, in their own departments and from political leaders. Understandably, their frustration has never been higher. In precinct locker rooms, police association meeting halls and whispered conversations between partners, the topic is the same: de-policing — that is, the conscious decision by cops to provide only minimum service. The persecution of Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson for justifiably killing a man who attempted to take his weapon and shoot him was the first in ...
WashPost: America Can’t Declare Economic Independence Because Not Enough Whites

The Washington Post is reporting that U.S. might not be able to follow in the U.K.’s footsteps in reclaiming its economic independence because of the nation’s demographic makeup, which is the result of four decades of record high green card issuances to foreign nationals. In a piece entitled, “No, Brexit Isn’t A Good Sign For Trump,” Washington Post’s Kim Soffen writes: “There are certainly similarities between the referendum and the [Trump] campaign. Both are largely driven by immigration… Both are nationalist movements. Both are an instance of the will of the people going against the wishes of the elite… And their demographic support looks ...
Scarborough Predicts Trump Loss So Huge, Will Make Goldwater Look ‘Extremely Successful’

In 1964, Republican Barry Goldwater suffered a devastating landslide loss to LBJ. Aside from his home state of Arizona, Goldwater carried only five other states, all in the Deep South. Goldwater amassed only 52 electoral votes, to Johnson’s 486. But even that paltry performance will look “extremely successful” compared to the thrashing that is in store for Donald Trump in November — if you believe Joe Scarborough. On today’s Morning Joe, after reviewing Trump’s disapproval numbers with various demographics, Scarborough said “Barry Goldwater is going to look like an extremely successful candidate.” Interestingly, Nick Confessore of the New York Times ...
Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre

President Barack Obama leaves the podium after speaking about the massacre at an Orlando nightclub during a news conference at the White House in Washington on Sunday, June 12, 2016.Omar Mateen called the cops to pledge his fealty to ISIS as he was carrying out his mass murder in Orlando early Sunday. Twelve hours later, the president of the United States declared that “we have no definitive assessment on the motivation” of Omar Mateen but that “we know he was a person filled with hate.” So I guess the president thinks Mateen didn’t mean it? Here again, and horribly, we have an unmistakable indication that Obama finds it astonishingly easy to divorce himself from a ...

Mike Gallagher, the 8th most recognized talk radio personality in the country, is heard by over 2.25 million listeners weekly. He compiled and wrote the following essay entitled, "Obama: It was You." President Obama: This is why you didn't go to France to show solidarity against the Muslim terrorists: * It was you who spoke these words at an Islamic dinner -"I am one of you." * It was you who on ABC News referenced -"My Muslim faith ." * It was you who gave $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to re-build foreign mosques. * It was you who wrote that in the event of a conflict-"I will stand with the Muslims ." * It was you who assured the ...

I am a Christian, albeit admittedly not a great Christian. I don’t always do what the Good Book says I should. However, despite my occasional lapses, I try not to be a hypocrite. And I fear that some Republicans and conservatives are drifting toward the sort of gross hypocrisy that is usually associated with the liberal left. That is, they are rejecting the chosen (so far) Republican presidential nominee based on presumed moral superiority (theirs) and alleged lack of historic character (his). Mr. Trump is not on anyone’s slate for sainthood. Neither am I for that matter. (Hillary Clinton is, just ask her.) But God often uses people whose lifestyle would be questionable, at ...

Brock Turner’s Sentence is Not Unique, Here’s Proof Cops Can Rape Children and Face No Consequnces While reading down the article I came across the name, John Van Trump. We should remember this name. Deckard posted a thread on LF in July, 2015, about his case. That thread received little interest with only 4 posts. After reviewing the article, I will now take the John Van Trump case to parse one aspect of the author’s findings. On June 17, 2015, John Van Trump was convicted of sexually assaulting that little girl. However, instead of the minimum 25-year sentence he originally faced, Trump received far less time. In fact, he received no time, thanks to his police officer ...

I would like to say we are pretty much screwed. Hillary is a no go for me. After 8 years of Obama the worst president in history to have her in office would end America as we know it. Markets would tank, debt would shoot into outer space since the debt has already past the tallest of buildings. Which would cause all out dollar wars. This would turn into all out war or major world depression. Not to mentions the progressive laws being passed without an ability to stop it. No right to own guns in any meaningful way. Government controlled everything. Obamacare will get replaced with an even worse policy of Hillarycare. She would finish running small business out of business and I guaranty she ...

Thirty years ago, most Americans felt they could, to some degree, relate to the people who ruled over them. The politicians did not tool around in armored vehicles or have armed men in mirrored sunglasses guarding them. The so-called “public servants” were not highly compensated, even if they did not work very hard. The members of the commentariat were few in number and they worked hard to present themselves as normal people. There was a gap, for sure, but it did not feel like a huge gap. A lot has changed and today it feels to most people like we have been colonized by pod people from another planet. They sort of look like us and make familiar noises, but they are not us. They ...
I was wrong: Trump WILL be the next president

A few months ago, I wrote that Donald Trump would win the GOP presidential nomination – but that would be the end of the line for him. I was sure that Trump just couldn't shore up enough of the already too small Republican base to win in November, thus nearly guaranteeing not only a loss but a big loss to Hillary Clinton in the general election. Well, I was wrong. In the 80-odd days since I wrote that piece, I've been seeing more and more evidence of why my predictions for Trump's demise were wrong — and that his chances of winning in the general election look pretty decent. The biggest reason is something very familiar to CNBC's audience: management. In this ...
Keep the Feds Out of Your Children's Bathrooms

Obama has asserted, by pure fiat, on no legal, medical, scientific, or commonsense grounds whatsoever, that he can dictate how children use school bathrooms around the country. This is an obnoxious and dangerous abuse of federal power, and it looks suspicious. What is Obama's motivation? Adults may not remember the deep shame and embarrassment children often feel, as early as age four, around toilet training. Sibling rivalry can get pretty intense. Being called a "poopy kid" by your brother or sister might look pretty harmless to parents, but young children can experience it as a sink-through-the-floor feeling of overwhelming shame. Getting bowel control is a learning ...

AI will create 'useless class' of human, predicts bestselling historian Smarter artificial intelligence is one of 21st century’s most dire threats, writes Yuval Noah Harari in follow-up to Sapiens It is hard to miss the warnings. In the race to make computers more intelligent than us, humanity will summon a demon, bring forth the end of days, and code itself into oblivion. Instead of silicon assistants we’ll build silicon assassins. The doomsday story of an evil AI has been told a thousand times. But our fate at the hand of clever cloggs robots may in fact be worse - to summon a class of eternally useless human beings. At least that is the future predicted by Yuval ...

And I thank you, President Adams, for your kind introduction, and Deep, for your wonderful representation of your class.

The Incomparable Trump - Trump became the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee for US president by dominating media coverage and defying political correctness.

Go with Trump for wisdom, prudence and truth The evangelicals LOVE Donald Trump … we are known by the company we keep. Win with Trump. “Male America Great Again.”
Would Hillary Be Worse Than Trump? Who Knows?

It's automatically assumed that Hillary would be ten times worse than Donald Trump as President. But is this assumption true? Who knows? We really don't know what to expect from a President Trump.However, we do know what Hillary is all about, and Congress would at least be able to put some breaks on her.Another very important thing to consider is Hillary's positions. They're really not a whole lot different than Trump's. In fact, I believe that if Hillary had exactly the same views and ran as a Republican, she would actually do quite well! I discuss this, as well as other facets of the presidential race, on Newsmax TV below: (NOTE: I join the program at 2min ...

In a campaign built on lies, it should not be a surprise that the central theme of Hillary’s campaign is the biggest lie of all. Someday, it will be the subject for a graduate thesis whether reporters who were in diapers when Bill Clinton was president simply don’t know the truth or, in their zeal to see Hillary elected, are obscuring the truth. The media portray Bill Clinton as a lovable scamp, a good ol’ Southern boy who just liked to have sex in the back of his pickup. In fact, according to numerous independent accounts, he was a sexual abuser and, the overwhelming evidence shows, a violent rapist. While we would normally extend our sympathy to his wife, Hillary has ...

The United States body count for drug overdoses in 2014 was 47,000 people. Gosh, folks, that’s almost as high as the KIA from the Vietnam War and that took about ten years to rack up! Gee, now do ya think we really live in “the greatest nation on Earth” when so many people are seeking to escape it using drugs that result in the ultimate check-out time? Have a peek at this article. The safe-injection site argument has been going on for over two decades now that I am personally aware of. Let’s say that the debate has been going on twenty years and use the death toll in 2014 as our control group. Thus, we can hypothesize that around 940,000 people have ...

Socialism is the creed of ignorance by DON WEST “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” – Winston Churchill The platform of some of those campaigning for the office of President of the United States leans heavily on the belief that America would be better off economically under socialism than we are under capitalism. “The trouble with socialism is eventually you run out of other people’s money” has been attributed to Margaret Thatcher. Lenin stated that the goal of socialism is communism and Karl Marx quipped that democracy is the road to socialism. One would ...

Donald TrumpIn September 2015, writer and statistician Nate Silver urged people to "calm down" about the possibility of Donald Trump winning the Republican presidential nomination. Two months later, he wrote that the media should "stop freaking out about Donald Trump's polls" and that Trump's odds were "higher than 0 but (considerably) less than 20 percent." Six months after that, after Ted Cruz had dropped out of the race but before John Kasich had done so, Silver wrote: "Donald Trump is going to win the Republican nomination." "Other than being early skeptics of Jeb Bush, we basically got the Republican race wrong," Silver wrote. ...

The Future Of America? – More Than Half Of All U.S. Adults Under Age 30 Now Reject Capitalism By Michael Snyder, on April 27th, 2016 Young People Abstract - Public DomainA shocking new survey has found that support for capitalism is dying in America. In fact, more than half of all adults in the United States under the age of 30 say that they do not support capitalism at this point. You might be tempted to dismiss them as “foolish young people”, but the truth is that they are the future of America. As older generations die off, they will eventually become the leaders of this country. And of course our nation has not resembled anything close to a capitalist society for quite ...
Anti-White Racism: The Hate That Dares Not Speak Its Name

It is a strange election cycle when Republicans go to war with each other with a ferocity rarely manifest when they are confronting Democrats and their progressive agendas. It is especially puzzling because a general consensus has formed on the right that the Democratic Party is moving so far left that its agendas threaten the very foundations of America’s social contract. These include a frontal assault on the system of individual rights that the Founders set in place. The left envisions a fundamentally transformed America where individual rights are secondary to the collective rights of races, ethnicities, genders and classes. That is why the particular circumstances of individual ...

Charles Koch not ruling out Hillary Clinton 3:19 Conservative billionaire Charles Koch said in an interview that aired Sunday that Hillary Clinton could possibly be preferable to a Republican for president. The influential donor, who, along with his brother David and their larger network, has been consistently criticized by the left for large contributions to conservative political campaigns, was asked on ABC if he thought that Bill Clinton was a better president than George W. Bush. Koch responded that he preferred Bill Clinton in certain respects. "In some ways," Koch told the network. "In other ways, I mean he wasn't an exemplar. But as far as the growth of ...
