'Take it off or I'll rip it off': Black high school student confronts white classmate wearing MAGA hat & Trump2020 flag as cape, rips them off
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A black Oklahoma student is facing a possible criminal charge after he was filmed confronting a white classmate who was wearing a MAGA hat and Trump 2020 flag as a cape. The incident occurred in the hallways at Edmond Santa Fe High School, north of Oklahoma City, on Monday. Cellphone footage of the incident has since gone viral on social media. The video shows 18-year-old Kenneth Dewayne Jones confronting an underage student who was wearing a red MAGA hat and had a Trump 2020 flag draped around his shoulders.

The 19 Year Old That Attacked Elderly MAGA Man: Ryan Salvagno - Wrestling Results
[Patch.com] Somerset Man Charged In Assault of Man, 81, Over 'MAGA' Hat: SCPO. Ryan Salvagno, 19, grabbed the 81-year-old by the arm, threw him to the ground and threw his "Make America Great Again" hat down: SCPO.

A Somerset, NJ man was charged with assaulting an 81-year-old Franklin Township man for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, Somerset County Prosecutor Michael H. Robertson announced.

Ryan M. Salvagno, 19, of Amwell Road, Somerset was charged with assault, a disorderly person's offense and harassment, a petty disorderly person's offense were filed in the Franklin Township Municipal Court.

Salvagno grabbed the 81-year-old by the arm and threw him to the ground, tipping over his cart of groceries and throwing the hat to the side, Robertson said.

When Franklin Police arrived on scene they found the 81-year old suffering from minor injuries.

Salvagno is scheduled for arraignment on March 14.

With a bit of browsing I noticed this on the Franklin Warriors Somerset, NJ website.

Riders not impressed by ‘showboat’ de Blasio taking the subway
[NYPOST] Mayor Bill de Blasio actually took the subway to City Hall on Wednesday ‐ but some passengers weren’t impressed to see him.

The mayor hopped on an R train in Park Slope after being driven from Gracie Mansion to the Y in his old neighborhood for his regular workout.

"He’s a showboat," fellow passenger Jay Ortiz, 44, told The Post.

"Why would he do that?" he asked about the underground ride. "It’s bogus."

Flanked by nearly 20 staffers, news hounds and photographers, de Blasio descended into the subway station at 4th Avenue and 9th Street around 9:30 a.m.

He chatted with riders as they waited about 10 minutes for an R train to arrive.

He also handed out a flier with his plan to fix the subways and encouraged riders to contact their state politicians to provide the funding.

Randi Levy, a librarian who was on her way to work in Manhattan, took a flier but was skeptical about the mayor’s commute.

"It seems a little bit like a publicity stunt," Levy said.

Park Slope resident Kate Noonan, 31, said she couldn’t understand why the mayor goes to the gym in Brooklyn if he lives in Manhattan.

"It’s a little weird. I don’t know why he does it," she said.

She’d like to see him on her commute every morning if his safety could be guaranteed.

"Maybe he would understand the issue a little more if he did take the subway," Noonan said.

"It’s pretty difficult for me to get to work. I never know if it’s going to take 15 minutes or 30 minutes."

The new rock stars? AOC joins Ilhan Omar, Jahana Hayes and Nancy Pelosi on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine
[MAIL] Rolling Stone Magazine has unveiled this month's cover stars who are shaking up Capitol Hill starring Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Congress freshmen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Jahana Hayes.

The women flash smiles on the magazine's Women Shaping the Future issue that will hit stands in March.

In the features they are asked their opinions on President Donald Trump, the possibility of impeachment and how they are changing the way Congress works.

While the cover may strike as harmonious, there have been bumps between the women and in their interviews they clash over the controversial Green New Deal congressional resolution.

Soiled Dove Stormy Daniels's Message to Michael Cohen: 'I'm Proud of You'
[Vanity Fair] Stormy Daniels, the porn star who allegedly had an affair with president Donald Trump, has said she is "proud" of former Trump fixer Michael Cohen for his testimony before Congress on Wednesday. Daniels has been at the center of the campaign-finance scandal that has, in part, landed Cohen in jail, and threatens to impact the president.

During his hours-long testimony, Cohen admitted to paying Daniels $130,000 for her silence in the weeks before the election. He claimed he did so at the president’s behest, and he said that the president repaid him in installments. Cohen had spoken about being directed to pay the hush money before in court documents, but always referred to his benefactor as "Individual 1." On Wednesday, he clarified to Congress in his opening statements that "Individual 1" is President Trump. (Trump has previously denied the affair and the payments.)

After watching Cohen’s testimony, Daniels released the following statement:

House Passes Universal Firearms Background Checks Bill
[Huffpoo] WASHINGTON ― With Democrats back in control, the House passed the most significant piece of gun control legislation in more than two decades Wednesday.

By a vote of 240-190, the House approved a bill that would require background checks on all gun sales in the United States. Currently, only licensed firearm dealers have to perform background checks, and unlicensed dealers ― such as those at gun shows ― can sell a gun without going through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

Eight Republicans joined all but two Democrats in support of the bill, and the measure will now go to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain future. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has not committed to bringing the bill up for a vote, and it likely doesn’t have the 60 senators it needs to make it to a final vote.

But the bill passing the House Wednesday marks a significant turn in its own right. The last gun control measure to pass the House was in 1994, the sweeping Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act that banned a number of semi-automatic weapons. And though Democrats have repeatedly tried to pass other gun control measures when Republicans controlled the House ― Democrats actually first introduced the legislation as a response to an attack on former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) ― they were unable to get up-or-down votes on a bill in recent years.

Not at all uncertain, actually. Then too, President Trump has promised to veto any gun control bill that gets to his desk, so there is no reason for Mitch McConnell to expend wasted effort.

Kurt Schlichter Has Some Questions About The Democrats' Reparations Plan
[Townhall] So, Senator Willy Brown Side Piece and Senator Panders With Wolves have decided to so something even Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit never dared ‐ they’ve come out in favor of reparations. "Reparations" is, of course, the notion that a bunch of people who are not guilty of slavery owe money to people who were not slaves for some reason that never quite gets explained but that you’re racist for wondering about.

This horrific idea is, not shockingly, really unpopular with the majority of people who did not do anything wrong but are expected to cut a check. It is, however, really popular with the leftist activists driving the out-of-control clown car that is today’s Democrat Party.

The Dem candidates are not crazy, and their plan is no doubt to gaslight the SJW suckers with this nonsense during the primaries to win the nomination. Once that mission is accomplished, they will pull the old "Just kidding!" when it comes time to campaign in the battered, opioid-shattered Midwestern states like Ohio and Michigan where the besieged white working class voters would be surprised to learn how privileged they are, as well as how in debt to people they never did anything wrong to.

Or maybe not. I mean, liberals are both incredibly dumb and morally bankrupt, and perhaps they would actually push for an unAmerican racial spoils system where you receive, or pay, cash because of something your great x 5 grandpa was or was not. But let’s get beyond how this whole idea is an atrocity that makes a mockery of everything Americans believe in. Let’s figure out how it is actually supposed to work.

I have questions. Several in fact. So, let’s take me, my wife, and my kids for example and see how this works out in practice.

#1  I believe in supporting a Democrat Reparation Act whereas all registered, as of 2014, Democrats pay for supporting slavery and subsequent segregation their party maintained for generations. Make it an line item entry on their annual income tax form, down where you add taxes, not write them off. They can personally enjoy 'redistribution'. All other Americans exempted.

Leftists Losing Their Minds Over the Citizenship Question Being Included in the Census
[Townhall] The Trump administration announced earlier this week that the 2020 census will include a question about whether an individual is a citizen of the United States. It's been a question on the census in the past and isn't a new component in determining congressional districts.

Naturally, this news has prompted the left to go ballistic. Here are some examples:

Senator Schumer is very angry about having to vote on the Green New Deal
[Washington Examiner] The decision by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to force a vote on the preposterous Green New Deal proposal championed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., is having what I suspect is its intended effect. To wit, it is making Democratic leaders look ridiculous. It leaves them with no choice but to denounce McConnell for bringing a vote on a proposal put together by members of their own caucus.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for example, complained Wednesday that McConnell would stoop so low as to, uh, force a vote on a bill drafted by a Democratic senator and sponsored by 11 Senate Democrats.

"Leader McConnell," he said, "do you believe that climate change, global warming, is real? Yes or no? Second, do you believe that climate change, global warming, is caused by humans? And three, do you believe that Congress should take immediate action to deal with the problem?"

That much makes sense. But Schumer then accused McConnell of playing "games" by bringing a Democratic-backed resolution to the floor.

"This is not a debate," he said. "It's a diversion. It's a sham."

Michael Cohen Admits to Coordinating Scripted Testimony With Lanny Davis
[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] Michael Cohen Admits to Coordinating Scripted Testimony With Lanny Davis, Adam Schiff and Elijah Cummings…

Those who follow closely will note Speaker Pelosi’s plan to weaponize congressional oversight is a carefully orchestrated campaign with three key figures: Adam Schiff, Elijah Cummings and Jerry Nadler.

Representative Jody Hice questions Michael Cohen about the construct and background of his congressional appearance. Within the answer Cohen admits his handler, democrat operative Lanny Davis, coordinated with key congressional leadership to include Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings and HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff.

Del. Lisanti on Use of Racial Slur: ‘I am Sickened that a Word that is Not in My Vocabulary Came Out of My Mouth’
The Dem in question, from Harford County described Prince Georges County (62 percent black) as a "ni99er district."
[DAGGERPRESS] From Del. Mary Ann Lisanti:

I deeply apologize to the citizens of my district, people of Maryland, all of my colleagues in the Maryland General Assembly and everyone reading this for my word choice several weeks ago. I am sickened that a word that is not in my vocabulary came out of my mouth. It does not represent my belief system, my life’s work or what is my heart.

Last evening I met with the Legislative Black Caucus to express my deepest regret for the pain I have caused my colleagues in the General Assembly and repent. This morning, I expressed the same to the entire Democratic Caucus.

Earlier today, I met with House Speaker Busch and agreed to step down from my leadership position. I also agreed to participate in sensitivity training. I understand that the use of inappropriate and insensitive language is not acceptable under any circumstance. I am sorry for the hurt I have caused and will do everything I can to help heal that pain and regain the trust of my colleagues and constituents. I pray for forgiveness.

And when she said these words were not in her vocabulary, she was referring to the book of words she once studied from when cramming for some exam. And maybe they were not there.
So you should forgive her trespasses just as she and her fellow Democrats forgive those who trespass against them.

#8  Chris Rock has a bit addressing this word usage, where he may ask, "Well, is it?"

#9  We all have certain words in our vocabulary that we've learned over the years not to use anymore. Some of us learned better than others. But those words are there.

Gantz accused of sexual misconduct as teen; ‘I'll never forget his eyes'
[Jpost] Blue and White Party chairman Benny Gantz, the front-runner in the upcoming elections, was accused on Wednesday of sexual misconduct some 40 years ago when he was a senior in high school.

Navarone (Nava in Hebrew) Jacobs posted on her Facebook page that she was sexually harassed by Gantz when she was 14 and they were studying at Hakfar Hayarok boarding school in central Israel. At the time, Jacobs was a freshman and Gantz was a senior.

Channel 13 was the first news outlet to publicize the allegations.

Gantz denied the allegations, saying they are political libel and hinting that they were initiated by the Likud.

Home Front: Culture Wars
Rep. Tlaib Blows Up Cohen Hearing: It Was a 'Racist Act' for a Republican to Bring a Black 'Prop'
You wanted a, honest to G*d, Palestinian in your Congress - you got one
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) has been trouble since the day she took office ‐ she infamously screeched, "We're gonna impeach the motherf**er" hours after she was sworn in as a member of Congress, vowing to take down President Trump. Tlaib shows no signs of taking her foot off the gas.

During today's House Oversight Committee's interrogation of former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, Tlaib suggested that Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) is a racist for bringing a black "prop" to the hearing:

"Just to make a note, Mr. Chairman, just because someone has a person of color, a black person working for them does not mean they aren’t racist," Tlaib said. "It is insensitive ‐ some would even say it’s the fact that someone would actually use a prop, a black woman, in this chamber, in this committee, is alone racist in itself."

#4  Of course, *not* having a black woman on your staff opens the door to charges of racism and sexism.
