Per Legal Insurrection, McCabe got the ouster late Friday night. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving piece of work.

Communist Arrested in Texas

Posted on

Joseph Wayne George, a/k/a ‘Comrade Dallas.’

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking: “Communists in Texas?” But in the 21st century, there is no shortage of fools, and a group of would-be Marxist revolutionaries made headlines in November 2016 when the Red Guards Austin were accused of attacking Trump supporters at the Texas statehouse. Among the six arrested were 36-year-old Joseph Wayne George, a/k/a “Comrade Dallas.” It turns out, George had a criminal felony record, and this was relevant when the Communist was arrested last week and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm as a felon.

Far Left Watch reports that the charges against George could put him in prison for as much as 30 years, and they quote the Red Guards:

They cannot break the will of the movement guided by the sharpest weapon the proletariat has ever wielded: Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism. Though we have many lessons to learn from our errors, and though it grieves us unspeakably that someone we treasure has fallen into the hands of the enemy, we have never been embarrassed by our work and our struggle, and we never will be. We will uphold, defend, and apply Maoism until our deaths.

You want to defend Maoism until your deaths? That shouldn’t take long. Lots of well-armed people in Texas, and they hate Commies.

 

More Skeezy Activities by Obama DOJ Lovebirds Page and Strzok Revealed

Posted on

Skeezy:

Newly discovered text messages obtained by The Federalist reveal two key federal law enforcement officials conspired to meet with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) judge who presided over the federal case against Michael Flynn. The judge, Rudolph Contreras, was recused from handling the case just days after accepting the guilty plea of President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser who was charged with making false statements to federal investigators.
The text messages about Contreras between controversial Department of Justice lawyer Lisa Page and Peter Strzok… were deliberately hidden from Congress, multiple congressional investigators told The Federalist. . . .
The pair even schemed about how to set up a cocktail or dinner party just so Contreras, Strzok, and Page could speak without arousing suspicion that they were colluding. Strzok expressed concern that a one-on-one meeting between the two men might require Contreras’ recusal from matters in which Strzok was involved.

Ace points out that these texts were redacted from what were turned over to Congress, and hints that maybe “a high-level official at the FBI or DOJ was responsible for this deliberate withholding of information from Congress.” Could this be a reference to Andrew McCabe?

California: The Crazy State

Posted on Comments

 

Junkies and crackheads get high on the streets of San Francisco, urinating and defecating in public, and the liberal Democrats who control the city seem to believe this situation is perfectly acceptable. Meanwhile, Southern California “finds itself in the midst of a homelessness emergency”:

You cannot walk more than few blocks through [downtown San Diego] without encountering people living in tents or cars, even sleeping curled up in the middle of the sidewalk.

The insanity produced by decades of liberal policies has caused an exodus of the state’s middle-class population. So many people are moving out of (and so few Americans are moving into) the Bay Area that it now costs $2,000 to get a U-Haul trailer in San Francisco. Americans don’t want to live in California, but foreign criminals do:

California has its first illegal alien in state office, after Senate President pro Tem Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) appointed Lizbeth Mateo to the California Student Opportunity and Access Program Project Grant Advisory Committee.
Mateo, an attorney, was born in Mexico and came to the U.S. illegally at the age of 14 with her parents, who are also illegal aliens, according to the Sacramento Bee.

 

Of course, California is home to Hollywood, a corrupt sewer of decadent immorality crawling with predatory perverts, and the state voted for Hillary Clinton (personal friend of Harvey Weinstein) by a nearly 2-to-1 margin in 2016. California’s legislature (which has its own sex scandal) granted “sanctuary” status to illegal aliens, in effect declaring U.S. immigration law null and void within its borders. When this provoked criticism from President Trump, California U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris responded on Twitter: “California represents the future, and it’s no surprise we’re leading the fight against Trump’s radical agenda.”

It’s a “radical agenda” to enforce the law, according to California Democrats, and “California represents the future,” by which we may suppose Sen. Harris means that homeless crackheads will soon be defecating on streets everywhere, from coast to coast.

A suggestion for Republicans: Given that California is a Democrat stronghold, and that the few vulnerable GOP-held House seats in the state are home to middle-class people who don’t want crackheads on their streets, make the midterm campaign a referendum on California.

Do Americans want California’s Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat colleagues to take over Congress? Do they want California’s Maxine Waters to take over the House Financial Services Committee? Do they want to impose California’s liberal insanity on the entire nation?

My guess is that if Republicans make this the central question of the fall congressional campaign, the hyped-up prospect of a Democrat “blue wave” in November will turn out to be barely a ripple.

 

Your Tax Dollars at Work: $9 Million Pedestrian Bridge Collapses at University

Posted on

“I’m from the federal government, and I’m here to help you!”

A pedestrian bridge under construction collapsed Thursday, just days after crews dropped an elevated 950-ton span in place in a project that was intended to give Florida International University students a safe route across the busy roadway.
The bridge crashed across six lanes of heavily traveled Tamiami Trail, crushing a still undetermined number of car and killing a still unclear number of people. Police on the scene said at least six people could be dead. . . .
The collapse was clearly a major failure of a project not expected to be completed until early 2019. . . .
Touted as an “instant bridge,” the 950-ton pedestrian walkway was installed in a single morning at Southwest 109th Avenue on Saturday, intended eventually to link Florida International University’s Modesto A. Maidique Campus directly to the small suburban city of Sweetwater, where the university estimates 4,000 of its students live.
Before Saturday’s installation, FIU said the method of overall installation would significantly reduce the risk to workers, walkers, drivers and minimized traffic disruptions for construction.
Designed as a cable-supported bridge, the pedestrian walkway is the product of a collaboration between MCM Construction and FIGG Bridge Design, the firm responsible for the iconic Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay.
The $9 million bridge was funded through a 2013 U.S. Department of Transportation grant.

So, the Obama administration took your money to build this “instant bridge” that killed at least six people. Heckuva job there, guys.

 

Muslim Murdered in Houston, and Guess Why Media Are Ignoring This Crime?

Posted on

Houston murder victim Rahman Rupani.

Rahman Rupani, 30, was one of seven siblings in a Pakistani family that operated DJ’s Food Mart, a convenience store in Houston, Texas. A father of two children, a 2-year-old and 6 months old, Rupani regularly attended a Houston mosque. On a Friday night in January, however, an argument in the parking lot of DJ’s Food Mart suddenly escalated into violence. A man was shot, and when Rupani came to the aid of the wounded man, he was shot and killed:

“As he was going outside he saw the injured guy, so he took his phone out to call an ambulance so somebody could come and get him to make sure he was fine,” Rupani’s sister Muniza Kabani said. . . .
“He died a hero, protecting people he has no duty to protect,” Rupani’s younger brother Karim Rupani said.

This wasn’t a “hate crime,” but you might think the national media would be interested in the story of a Muslim man who “died a hero.” What a remarkable human-interest story — a Pakistani-American family operating a small business in Texas! Yet CNN and the major networks are ignoring the murder of Rahman Rupani for some reason:

The man wanted for murdering a father who came to the aid of a shooting victim is a “Dreamer” with violent felons for a father and brother.
Judas Deluna, 21, is on the run, and accused of killing a father and husband as he just tried to help. De Luna is charged with felony murder in the shooting death of Rahman Rupani, 30. . . .
Eyewitness News has learned Deluna is in the United States under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. He is undocumented, a so-called Dreamer. . . .
Nearing deportation, again, is where Deluna’s father, Manuel Deluna, is. He is on “hold’ status with Immigration and Customs Enforcement since his release from prison last October.
According to Robert Hurst with Texas Department of Criminal Justice, he served four months of a two-year sentence stemming from a SWAT standoff in November 2016. He barricaded himself after assaulting his wife and daughter.
Five years earlier, Manuel Deluna’s other son, Eric Deluna, planned an ambush on an 18-wheeler full of drugs. It was part of a notorious federal sting that went bad aimed at the Los Zetas cartel. A federal informant died in a shootout that also left a Harris county sheriff’s deputy wounded.
Eric Deluna is serving a 30-year sentence.

Murder suspect Judas Deluna is a fugitive.

Rupani was murdered by Judas Deluna, a DACA beneficiary whose father is a violent felon, and whose brother is serving 30 years in prison. But wait — there’s even more to this outrageous story:

Deluna may have obtained the DACA protection despite a prior history of felony arrests and convictions.
Court records obtained by Breitbart Texas from Harris County District Clerk Chris Daniel’s office show that Deluna received a felony conviction for a terroristic threat made in 2015. The judge of the 176th Criminal District Court sentenced the man to 60 days in county jail. He had also been charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. That charge was dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
Earlier that year, prosecutors charged Deluna with a felony charge of evading arrest with a motor vehicle. The same judge placed the man on four years of probation and deferred adjudication. Following the new murder charge, prosecutors filed a motion to adjudicate this charge.

As a journalist, wouldn’t this be a fascinating story to report? It highlights two important national issues — crime and immigration — and at the center of the story is the heroic Muslim, Rahman Rupani, slain while going to the aid of a gunshot victim. Yet because the major media are committed to defending Obama’s DACA policy from critical scrutiny, you’re never going to see this story on CNN or NBC or CBS or ABC.
