Atty. Robert Barnes on FOX and Friends: We’re Giving Major Media, Celebrities 48 Hours to Retract and Apologize to Covington Kids or Face Lawsuit (VIDEO)

"Barnes is giving major media and celebrities 48 hours to retract and apologize or face a lawsuit.

Robert Barnes told FOX and Friends:  Because these are all private citizens and many of them minors and kids the law is that saying anything about them is libel. And you don’t have a defense of actual malice all you have to prove is negligence. So a lot of these journalists who have been saying false statements about these kids, false statements about the kids at the Lincoln Memorial, false statements about various photographs that are related to the school, slurring and libeling the entire school and all the alumnae of the school and all you have to prove is that they were negligent in doing so. At this standpoint at this point in time it is clear that anyone who continues to libel about these kids has done so illegally and can be sued for it....."

HE LIED: Native American Activist Nathan Phillips Never Served in Vietnam — But Raised Money By Sayi

For you all who were stating he was never deployed to Nam, high five your math was indeed correct. Cheers

HE LIED: Native American Activist Nathan Phillips Never Served in Vietnam — But Raised Money By Saying He Did

"The Washington Post has had to issue yet another retraction after falsely claiming that far-left Native American activist Nathan Phillips served in the Vietnam War. He didn’t — but this lie was previously used to help raise money for a documentary about his life.

On Monday, the Washington Post quietly issued a correction to their story about the activist, saying that while he served in the Marines, he was never deployed to Vietnam.

“Correction: Earlier versions of this story incorrectly said that Native American activist Nathan Phillips fought in the Vietnam War. Phillips served in the U.S. Marines from 1972 to 1976 but was never deployed to Vietnam,” the update...."

Former Democrat: The Truth is Democrats Won't Build Wall Because They're Under Influence of Mexican

Oh my goodness what an interesting read! Now we're following the money. It's always the money isn't it???

Former Democrat: The Truth is Democrats Won’t Build Wall Because They’re Under Influence of Mexican Mafia

"A former Democrat and current Trump supporter unloaded on Democrats. Jeffrey Peterson says the reason the Democrats will never support the border wall – the reason is that they are being paid off by the Mexican cartels.

Jeffrey Peterson states in his profile on Twitter that he is a former Democrat who ‘walked away’. He now is a Trump supporter! He claims that the Democrats will never give in on a wall due to the Democrats being funded by the Mexican mafia. He says he has connections with Arizona politics and says Mexico is the main reason the wall is not supported by the Democrat Party! ...."

Sue The Bas%$^%$!

That is the title of their blog post. Good read. I've always admired Mr Hinderaker's reasoning. 

I hope something favorable to the kids and their families can come from good legal representation. 

SUE THE Bas%$^%$

"... Where do you go when the whole world seems to be against you? You hire a lawyer. Which is what some of the Covington kids’ families reportedly have done. For whatever reason, intolerant liberals on Twitter are frantically  deleting tweets denouncing the innocent Covington kids, and in some cases calling for violence against them. Maybe they are just embarrassed at being caught red-handed, lying and purveying hate. But when has that ever embarrassed a liberal?...."

The 'Gilets Jaunes' Are Unstoppable: "Now, The Elites Are Afraid"

This article is about the yellow-vest protests in France which are spreading elsewhere. It is excellent enumerating issues causing protests so recommended reading if you have time. 

The 'Gilets Jaunes' Are Unstoppable: "Now, The Elites Are Afraid"

Authored by Christophe Guilluy via Spiked-Online.com,  Source:ZeroHedge.com

".... spiked: What role has the liberal metropolitan elite played in this?

Guilluy: We have a new bourgeoisie, but because they are very cool and progressive, it creates the impression that there is no class conflict anymore. It is really difficult to oppose the hipsters when they say they care about the poor and about minorities.

But actually, they are very much complicit in relegating the working classes to the sidelines. Not only do they benefit enormously from the globalised economy, but they have also produced a dominant cultural discourse which ostracises working-class people. Think of the ‘deplorables’ evoked by Hillary Clinton. There is a similar view of the working class in France and Britain. They are looked upon as if they are some kind of Amazonian tribe. The problem for the elites is that it is a very big tribe.

The middle-class reaction to the yellow vests has been telling. Immediately, the protesters were denounced as xenophobes, anti-Semites and homophobes. The elites present themselves as anti-fascist and anti-racist but this is merely a way of defending their class interests. It is the only argument they can muster to defend their status, but it is not working anymore.

Now the elites are afraid. For the first time, there is a movement which cannot be controlled through the normal political mechanisms. The gilets jaunes didn’t emerge from the trade unions or the political parties. It cannot be stopped. There is no ‘off’ button. Either the intelligentsia will be forced to properly acknowledge the existence of these people, or they will have to opt for a kind of soft totalitarianism.

A lot has been made of the fact that the yellow vests’ demands vary a great deal. But above all, it’s a demand for democracy. Fundamentally, they are democrats – they want to be taken seriously and they want to be integrated into the economic order.

spiked: How can we begin to address these demands?

Guilluy: First of all, the bourgeoisie needs a cultural revolution, particularly in universities and in the media. They need to stop insulting the working class, to stop thinking of all the gilets jaunes as imbeciles.

Cultural respect is fundamental: there will be no economic or political integration until there is cultural integration. Then, of course, we need to think differently about the economy. That means dispensing with neoliberal dogma. We need to think beyond Paris, London and New York."

Apologies Roll In For Catholic School Protesters As Fuller Picture Of Events Emerges

Several articles on this issue. Apparently there was a media pile on before full analysis of the video was analyzed. Second article was written by an attorney who viewed several videos and provides a very balanced analysis of events with continuing updates. Worth the read. 

As always you decide. I'm sad for the students that all this happened.

Unsure if or whom they've retained as counsel but am glad there are persons acting in their behalf. It's really sad that the media rushes to judgment before researching and reporting events as they took place instead of agenda.

Examples of Serious Crimes By Illegal Aliens

I found this site while watching a video that flashed it across the screen. Lots of tragic stories. Looks like it's a humanitarian issue on our side of the border with our own citizens being killed or irreparably harmed by those who should not be here, many of whom have been deported multiple times.
