Trump says border wall will stop drug cartels that have ‘literally taken over towns and cities’
Via Billy
President Trump doubled down Thursday on his demand for a border wall, warning of the growing threat of drug cartels and criminal gangs he said have “literally taken over towns and cities of the United States.”
Emerging from a meeting with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, whose country has struggled for years with cartel-fueled violence, Mr. Trump said drug crime has become a “dangerous threat to our societies.” He called for international cooperation in pursuing smugglers and for infrastructure to keep them out of the U.S. in the first place.
“The drug epidemic is poisoning too many American lives, and we’re going to stop it in many different ways. One of them will be the wall,” Mr. Trump said.
Even though illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border appears to be down dramatically under Mr. Trump, the flow of drugs remains high — with heroin and other serious narcotics surging.
The changes suggest that Mr. Trump’s get-tough approach inside the U.S. has deterred would-be migrants but that cartels continue their smuggling operations freely.

More Than 7 Million Voter Registrations Are Duplicated in Multiple States: NC 2nd Highest
Via Bill
More than 7 million voter registrations appear to be registered in two states simultaneously, according to data obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The new voter data was gathered from the Kansas-run interstate voter registration crosscheck program, which is used to identify "possible duplicate registrations among states."
The program began in December 2005 and conducted its first crosscheck in 2006. It is administered by the office of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who was tapped recently to help lead President Trump's voter fraud commission.
The newest data is from crosschecks of voter registrations across 28 states that participate in the program. At least 7.2 million registrations appeared in two states at once, according to the data.
Georgia (660,708), North Carolina (561,811), and Illinois (542,065) lead the 28 states studied in potential duplicated voter registrations across state lines.

Trump campaign reports fundraising surge, says Americans still stand with president
The campaign website, DonaldJTrump.com, and the joint fundraising operation with the Republican National Committee took in more than $314,000 in contribution Wednesday, which is a one-day record for fundraising since the election, said the campaign.
“The American people are with the president stronger than ever before,” said Michael Glassner, executive director of Donald J. Trump for President Inc., which recently announced Mr. Trump’s re-election effort.
The money came in the same day the Justice Department named a special counsel to probe accusations that Trump campaign officials had links to Russian spies that interfered in the U.S. presidential election.
It was also the same day some Democratic lawmakers called for impeachment of the president.

Racism: The Last Refuge of Us All?
Via John "If lefties aren't screaming, whining, sobbing, name-calling, attacking, accusing. bloviating, lying, and/or just being miserable - and wanting you to be as miserable as they are........then they're not happy. This is especially true when it comes to 'race,' where the left keeps wishing it was still the 1950's, but sadly for them, history has moved on. These days, the only race under attack simply for the color of their skin.....is the white race. Below, my buddy Mike B and the article he forwards, elucidate this seeming paradox to a fare-thee-well. Just remember this simple truth: The left is fake. It is a political fraud. They are the intolerant masquerading as the tolerant. They are every negative stereotype they claim others to be and you can never believe or trust in anything they say or do. Once you recognize this, it becomes eminently clear, and all the leftist fake news "media" propaganda you hear will never again affect your critical thinking processes." ~ J
"Interesting article on things the left considers racist... like bicycle lanes, dog walking, safe driving, kindness to animals, being a foodie, healthy eating, taking vitamins, jogging, milk, vegetarianism, the food pyramid & nutritional guidelines, herbal tea, solar power, hiking in the woods... to the misguided left... all racist. As an example, take this last one... hiking in the woods: The wilderness itself is racist, because “escaped slaves” used to be confronted with “forests full of danger.” For people of color, “the wilderness, historically, is dangerous territory,” claims a wilderness racism “expert” in the L.A. Times. Or this: A piece in the liberal leaning Pittsburgh Post-Gazette outright stated it: Cyclists are white, so spending city money to create bike lanes to keep them safe is racist. IMHO, this is why many people like me voted for Trump... we're just plain sick and tired of the never ending crap like this from brainless, (real) racist liberals." Mike B.
************************
We’ve all heard Samuel Johnson’s famous adage about patriotism being the
last refuge of a scoundrel, but I’ve always believed it’s racism
that’s the last refuge of a scoundrel. Race is what you cling to when
you have no meaningful achievements of your own to display. It’s a safe
space for the unaccomplished. That’s why there’s been such an explosion
of racism on the left, especially among some of its less successful
demographic groups. When you have nothing to offer, or when you just
don’t want to make the effort to be successful or productive, well…at
least you have your skin. And the left has proved to be expert at making
everything about skin. With so many layabouts, welfare cases,
entitlement whores, and blame shifters among the masses, leftist
intellectuals in politics, the media, and academia gain lots of traction
by continually reassuring certain constituencies, “Hey, man, your skin color makes you special! Your skin color makes you deserving!”

Rosenstein on Comey memo: 'I wrote it. I believe it. I stand by it.'
Via Billy
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein firmly stood by the memo he wrote that outlined James Comey’s offenses – and later was cited by the White House to support President Trump’s decision to fire the FBI director – during briefings with Capitol Hill lawmakers, according to remarks obtained by Fox News.
“I wrote it. I believe it. I stand by it,” he said, according to the opening statement provided by senior Justice Department officials. He maintained that Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe was “wrong and unfair.”

New York Times Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim’s blogger
Michael Schmidt told professional liar Brian Williams that he hadn’t
seen the memos that James Comey allegedly wrote. “Someone that had seen
them recounted details to me,” Schmidt said in what is a breach of
journalistic protocol.
Schmidt has been called out for getting a story wildly wrong before thanks to his anonymous sources. Schmidt, citing his anonymous federal law enforcement sources, claimed that one of the San Bernardino terrorists had talked about jihad openly. She didn’t.
His boss even reprimanded him and called for “systematic changes” to the way Schmidt and Carlos Slim’s blog use anonymous sources.

“As president, Trump has broad authority to declassify government secrets, making it unlikely that his disclosures broke the law.” —Washington Post, May 16, 2017
The above sentence didn’t appear in the Washington Post’s lead story, “Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian diplomats,” until paragraph seven. That’s because the piece is solely about the idea that Trump is careless with classified information, since he “went off script and began describing details of an Islamic State terrorist threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft” in a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
The meeting was held last week. A Wall Street Journal story reveals that the Department of Homeland Security, citing “evaluated intelligence,” instituted a cabin ban on laptops and other electronic devices larger than a cellphone for flights originating from 10 airports in Middle East and African nations.

North Carolina: Biggest gang sweep in Charlotte history nabs 83 ‘Bloods’
Via Billy
North Carolina’s largest ever crackdown on street gangs led to arrests in Charlotte and four states Thursday, with dozens of alleged members of United Blood Nation charged with a vast conspiracy of murders, assaults and other violent crimes.
In all, 83 people, all believed to be part of a UBN wing known as “Nine Trey Gangsters” wing, were named in the federal indictments, including nearly 30 who were already jailed for other crimes. Ten suspects remained on the run Thursday afternoon. Five were being hunted in Charlotte. One was as far away as Miami, the FBI said.
In an update released Friday morning, the FBI said it had located two of the missing.
