[FoxNews] Prosecutors have declined to file charges against major Democratic donor Ed Buck in the case of Gemmel Moore, a male escort who was found dead inside Buck’s West Hollywood home last summer.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said the “admissible evidence is insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt” that Buck gave Moore drugs or is responsible for his death in a document dated July 26 obtained by Fox News.
Moore, 26, was found by police on July 27, 2017, inside the apartment of Buck, 63. Buck, a well-known figure in LGBT political circles, has given more than $500,000 to a range of Democratic groups and candidates — including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
The document also cited an inadmissible search and seizure, but did not provide details.
Although Moore's death was initially considered an accidental drug overdose, detectives in the Homicide Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department opened an inquiry ten months ago due to writings in Moore's journal and pressure from his family, friends and community advocates.
The investigators' findings were presented to the district attorney’s office on July 10 and authorities reportedly reviewed and rejected four charges: murder, voluntary manslaughter, and furnishing and possessing drugs.

While nobody died in the incident, let us not forget the official visit to the Bah-ney Fwank vacation home with the several hundred pot plants. He thought they were for the 'salad', so the law just left. Rather in the way one of his former boyfriends was running the homo prostitution ring out his DC residence. The Bah-ney Fwank simply thought he was very social. Oh, ok no harm no foul.
[Townhall] In the latest efforts to rectify America's history of its slaveholding past, Austin’s Equity Office suggested that the Texas capital change its entire name in addition to removing statues and street signs in honor of Confederate soldiers.
Austin, TX is named after Stephen F. Austin. The man, now known as the "father of Texas," one time "opposed an attempt by Mexico to ban slavery in the province of Tejas and said if slaves were freed, they would turn into "'vagabonds, a nuisance, and a menace." Conventional wisdom, in 1835.
The report noted that there would be pushback against the proposed ideas, but defended it from accusations of whitewashing history. Hardly "whitewashing". How dare you? Updating history, correcting history. Rectifying history. O.K., blackwashing.
"It is essential to acknowledge that societal values are fluid, and they can be and are different today compared to when our city made decisions to name and/or place these Confederate symbols in our community," the document said. Exactly. That's why it is perfectly valid to leave an old name - or statue - alone. Embrace the different values. Be tolerant!
The office was aware "the likelihood of opposing viewpoints and nodded to inconveniences to businesses and residents and the view that changing the names could be considered a threat to historical preservation." How perceptive!
"It is also important to acknowledge that nearly all monuments to the Confederacy and its leaders were erected without a true democratic process. People of color often had no voice and no opportunity to raise concerns about the city’s decision to honor Confederate leaders," the office added. Washington Square in Austin will be next, followed by Jefferson Street. Time to point and laugh.

They also had no voice in the drafting and ratification of the Constitution of the United States. Oh, and there were slave holders too involved in that. Let's throw everything out and make it about pure power. Let's see who's left standing.

Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and several others of the founding fathers were slave owners. How long will it be before the SJWs demand that the District of Columbia, the state of Washington, all of the 30+ places named Jefferson" change their names?
Oh, and tear down the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial. Might as well tear down the Lincoln Memorial while they're at it. After all, Lincoln was a Republican.

Lostin? Costin'? Boston (as in, "the Athens of Texas")? Or annoy the sign painters guild by just changing which Austin "Austin" points to? Six Million Dollar Man's obviously ineligible, but surely there's a first bicolor trans furperson of oxidation management, or a lesb1an freedman Union vet, or... whatever... that all decent folks could get behind?
And when they come for H-Town, how about "Hopkins?" Or "Jesus City." Whichever.

New details have emerged revealing that George Soros helped prop-up Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s political career in an attempt to put 400 Bernie Sanders-like politicians in Congress.
A former organizer for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, Ocasio-Cortez’s under-dog win in the Democratic primary was undoubtedly helped by online actors.
The New York Times writes that she was able to defeat her opponent, who greatly outspent her, due to her online presence. In an interview with progressive digital media outlet "The Young Turks," a member of a Soros-funded network of far-left publications called The Media Consortium, Ocasio-Cortez also admits that their coverage helped her win.
Members linked to Soros-funded digital media asked Ocasio-Cortez, a former organizer for Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, to run for office ‐ guaranteeing favorable coverage by a media network that reaches almost 300 million people monthly.
One member of the Soros-funded media, Cenk Uygur, also founded one of the two political groups responsible for asking Ocasio-Cortez to run, Justice Democrats ‐ whose goal is to get Sanders-like politicians elected to Congress.
