Heather Heyer's Mother, "They tried to kill my child to shut her up but they just magnified her."
"They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well, guess what? You just magnified her."

Heather D. Heyer died standing up for what she believed in.
Friends described her as a passionate advocate for the disenfranchised who was often moved to tears by the world’s injustices. That sense of conviction led her to join demonstrators protesting a rally of white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday.
“We were just marching around, spreading love — and then the accident happened,” a friend, Marissa Blair, said. “In a split second you see a car, and you see bodies flying.”

“Heather was such a sweet soul, and she did not deserve to die,” Ms. Blair said on Sunday.

America needs to build a statue in VA in her honor. She is a hero.
"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."

Donald Trump reportedly owned a copy of Adolf Hitler’s speeches and kept them in his bedside cabinet.
A 1990 Vanity Fair article about billionaire businessman stated that Mr Trump’s then wife Ivana, said her husband owned a copy of “My New Order” – a printed collection of the Nazi leader’s speeches.
Marie Brenner, the article’s author, wrote: “Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, 'My New Order', which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.
snip
Mr Trump, however, denied he would ever read speeches given by Hitler, saying: “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."
************
People like Bannon, Gorka,and Miller really do reflect Trump's thinkings. Trump has read some of the
most racist and anti-sematic crap out there. The picture he or his campaign posted of Hillary Clinton
with the Star of David and money behind her came from a web site that also had the famous picture
of a Jewish woman holding her child as a nazi soldier shoots both of them with vile comments
underneath it was part of Trump or his inner circles's readings.

“Eric Bolling has been suspended pending the results of an investigation, which is currently underway,” a
Fox News spokeswoman told Philly.com Saturday afternoon. The investigation is being conducted by the
law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, retained by parent company 21st Century Fox to
investigate claims of sexual harassment at the network.
According to the HuffPost, which spoke to 14 sources in and out of the two networks, Bolling sent the
unsolicited graphic messages several years ago, which included an image of a man’s genitalia. All three
women, whose identities were not revealed, say they recognized his number from previous interactions.
Four additional people confirmed to the Huffington Post they had seen the photo.
snip
Hours after Fox News announced it was suspending Bolling, Caroline Heldman, a politics professor at
Occidental College and frequent guest on the network from 2008 to 2011, claimed the Fox News host
made an unspecified number of unsolicited sexual advances to her.
“[Bolling] said he wanted to fly me out to New York for in-studio hits and to have ‘fun.’ He asked me to
have meals with him on several occasions, but I found excuses not to go,” Heldman wrote in a lengthy
Facebook post. “Once, he took me up to his office in New York, showed me his baseball jerseys, and in
the brief time I was there, let me know that his office was his favorite place to have sex.”

Fox Business’ Eric Bolling Says President Obama Was ‘Chugging Forties’ Instead Of Going To Joplin
Fox Business host Eric Bolling really stepped in it Monday when, in the middle of a rant about a lack of leadership, he said that President Obama was busy “chugging forties” in Ireland, instead of going to tornado-ravaged Missouri. “Forty” is slang for a 40 oz. bottle of malt liquor (or beer), a mainstay of ghetto iconography.
