Video of Conservative Blogger Pulling Gun on BLM Protesters

This happened the same evening as the Dallas shootings.

This man is mentally unstable. He does not need to be in possession of a gun or a concealed weapons permit.

Conflict of interest: Sanders assails Clinton over Foundation



Conflict of interest: Sanders assails Clinton over Foundation

Bernie Sanders has largely been silent in the debate about the Clinton Foundation’s ties to foreign governments – including some with poor human rights records. But in the final week of the primary season against Hillary Clinton, the Vermont senator finally unleashed a few jabs on the issue.

“If you asked me about the Clinton Foundation, do I have a problem when a sitting secretary of state and a foundation run by her husband collects many millions of dollars from foreign governments, governments which are dictatorships … yeah I do,” Sanders said in an interview Sunday morning on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

‘Invisible Women’ for Hillary

http://bluenationreview.com/invisible-women-for-hillary/

By Ginger McKnight-Chavers

“I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.” I have thought of this quote from Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man often during this election season.

As an African American woman who supports Hillary Clinton, I regularly feel invisible. The media, the pundits, the pollsters and the other candidates refuse to see me.

Women (who make up over 60% of registered voters) and minorities are disregarded as if we are unimportant to the candidates’ platforms or the outcome of the race, and as if we don’t recall the genesis of these smears.

Though Hillary has earned millions more votes than either Bernie or Donald, Hillary’s supporters, particularly female voters, are often deemed irrelevant in the media. And when we try to raise our voices, we are mocked, trolled, and verbally assaulted so persistently that the effort becomes daunting.


Between working, learning, raising families, caregiving, bettering our communities, and engaging in the real world around us, we don’t have the time or the patience to waste precious energy on fighting incessant harassment as the cost of participation.

The “saying nothing, talking loud” crowd (to paraphrase Earth Wind & Fire) may attempt to silence us. But we won’t remain invisible forever....

Here’s where Hillary Clinton is giving her nomination victory speech on Tuesday night

Here’s where Hillary Clinton is giving her nomination victory speech on Tuesday night

By Bill Palmer | June 4, 2016 |

Hillary Clinton will officially clinch the Democratic Party 2016 nomination for President on Tuesday June 7th when the polls close in New Jersey, whether she wins the state or not, based on proportional delegates — but she won’t be giving her victory speech there. She’ll also be looking to win the California primary later that night, but she won’t be speaking from the west coast either. Instead, Hillary has revealed an intriguing home base for the evening....

Hillary will be holding an official event at the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 6:00 to 10:00pm eastern time on Tuesday night, meaning that when the polls close in New Jersey and she officially becomes the democratic nominee, she’ll be celebrating just across the Hudson River and East River. It represents an opportunity to bring her campaign back to its starting point.
