Murder Most Foul- Black Trump Supporter Murdered Execution Style

60-year-old Bernell Trammell owned a small store in Milwaukee. He was kind man, well liked in his neighborhood, a religious man who did some street preaching. He was also a Trump supporter. That got him murdered. 

This is a man who worshipped G-d and a man of faith. You can hear it in his voice. In a video shot near his store, Bernell Trammel said the following: “I am Bernell Trammell, I am at my office at the Expressions Journal publication, and I am encouraging afro-Americans from all walks of life and culture here in Wisconsin, particularly here in Milwaukee, to vote Donald Trump for this year, Trump 2020.” This was just a few hours before he was murdered. He also made a Facebook post showing him carrying the same 'vote for Donald Trump sign.'

Here's what one of his neighbors posted onTwitter about him. " Bernell Trammell was shot in the head execution style broad daylight yesterday in front of his store. He was a God fearing Trump supporting man. Was it because he was a Trump supporter? He didn't look for fights, he lived a good life. Sick and sad! "

Wisconsin Senator RonJohnson also had something to say about this:

Bernell Trammell was known to many in Milwaukee. My condolences to his family and friends. I hope they get answers and justice soon.

Will they? Perhaps. But since no one else had any reason to kill Bernall Trammel, he was obviously murdered because of his political beliefs. They simply decided he was one Black life that didn't matter and since he was well known and respected in his part of Milwaukee and might influence people, they killed him.

We live in an age when expressing your views freely, the basis of our First Amendment only applies to

the Radical Left. Even in our neighborhoods, people realize that supporting President Trump with a bumper sticker or a lawn sign can get your car or home vandalized. Even worse is the way sports teams, colleges, certain city and state governments, many corporations, Hollywood and most of our media cowardly adhere to this Orwellian punishment for thought crimes.

Not only can it get your property vandalized or get you socially ostracized, it can get you fired from your job for the least infraction. It can even get you seriously injured or killed.

This needs to be stopped, or it will destroy our country and melt away our freedoms.

On Bernall Trammel's sign in front of his store, one of the signs mentions Matthew 16 verse 3 and urges us to discern the signs of the times:

And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.  He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’

And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

Very appropriate. We had better start learning to interpret the signs of the times....and start taking action accordingly

Pope Francis, Hypocrite

Pope Francis made the news today with an interesting statement on freedom of speech.

The Pope, while en route to the Philippines decided to weigh in on the Charlie Hebdo controversy.

Pope Francis described freedom of speech as not only a fundamental human right but a duty to speak one's mind for the sake of the common good. But...there were limits:

By way of example, he referred to Alberto Gasbarri, who organizes papal trips and was standing by his side aboard the papal plane.

"If my good friend Dr. Gasbarri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch," Francis said half-jokingly, throwing a mock punch his way. "It's normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others."

Now the Pope of course condemned the killings, saying such horrific violence in God's name couldn't be justified and was an "aberration." But he said a reaction of some sort was to be expected.

"There are so many people who speak badly about religions or other religions, who make fun of them, who make a game out of the religions of others," he said. "They are provocateurs. And what happens to them is what would happen to Dr. Gasbarri if he says a curse word against my mother. There is a limit."

I have to admit I find his use of the word "aberration" to describe what happened in Paris astonishing. Has he been living in a bubble? Christians are being murdered all over the Middle East and in Africa by Muslims, and terrorism in the name of Islam has been epidemic. An aberration? Really?

That aside, I find I agree with some of what he said. People whom deliberately insult someone's religion - as opposed to being critical of its practices and ideology, which ought to be fair game - should expect a reaction.

So...where was this Pope's reaction to the deliberate insults and canards thrown at Christianity by the rabidly secular Left since he put on the Papal Mitre? Asleep in that same bubble?

And what about Jews? The most hideous libels and slanders are thrown at Jews and Judaism every day in Europe and the Middle East. Mainstream articles in ME papers repeatedly use cartoons Der Stürmer would have been proud to print, Hitler's Mein Kampf in Arabic is a bestseller and many Muslim imams demonize Jews and call for their death and destruction on a regular basis in their Friday sermons.

 

Meanwhile, Israeli flags with a Mogen Dovid, a Jewish religious symbol on them are burned every day in Europe and in the Arab World. The Pope has said nothing about any of this. In fact, he's actually criticized Israel for its 'reactions' to this insult to their religion.

 

Yet, all of a sudden, this Pontiff is already jumping in and making excuses for the violent  Muslim reaction to cartoons in Charlie Hebdo. When Muslims do it, of course it's wrong but you have to understand their justified rage.

This sort of anal hypocrisy is indefensible in someone who seeks to be a moral arbiter and the leader of the Catholic Faith. Or is it just naked cowardice, as it was with his predecessor Benedict?

Iran's Ahmadinejad: 'Annihilate The Zionist Entity To Solve The World's Problems'

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had a few choice things to say in a speech to ambassadors from a number of Muslim countries:

Speaking to ambassadors from Islamic countries ahead of 'Qods Day' ('Jerusalem Day'), an annual Iranian anti-Zionist event established in 1979 by Ayatollah Khomeini and which falls this year on August 17, Ahmadinejad said that a "horrible Zionist current" had been managing world affairs for "about 400 years."

Considering that Israel has only been in existence for 64 years, it's obvious that to Ahmadinejad and his audience,'Zionists' means 'Jews.'

It was Zionists, he said, who were “behind the scene of the world’s main powers, media, monetary and banking centers.”

"They are the decision makers, to the extent that the presidential election hopefuls [of the USA] must go and kiss the feet of the Zionists to ensure their election victory,” he added.

Ahmadinejad added that "liberating Palestine" would solve all the world's problems, although he did not elaborate on exactly how that might work.

“Qods Day is not merely a strategic solution for the Palestinian problem, as it is to be viewed as a key for solving the world problems," he said.

He added: "Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime in order to pave the way for world justice and freedom.”

There are several things that are quite interesting about this.

Ahmadinejad has threatened genocide against Israel many times before. And if you know anything about Iran, you know this rhetoric comes straight from Iran's Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, who has also been quite explicit on the subject.

And as usual, there's no real pushback. Not from the Muslim countries, who largely agree with what he's saying. And certainly not from many individual Muslims.By their standards, this is pro forma rhetoric, the Muslim equivalent of apple pie and motherhood here in America.

But especially, none from the West or the UN, although it might rate an off the cuff 'condemnation' or two. If that much.

On the other hand, should Israel decide to defend itself against a very real and imminent threat of genocide, rest assured the condemnations will come thick, hard and fast.

Chew on this for a moment. Here we have the leader of a country on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons openly making genocidal threats against another country, and the best that the world seems to offer is a shake of the head and a few anemic 'sanctions' that aren't being honored for the most part anyway, per the wishes of President Obama and our State Department. And the only reason even that much is happening is over concern about the ayatollahs mucking up the oil delivery from the Persian Gulf.


Walk with me for a moment. Let's say the country being threatened on a routine basis wasn't Israel. Let's say it was Britain. Or Mexico. Or France. Do you think the world's reaction might be different?

You know it would.

But when it comes to Israel, a significant  part of the 'international community'  has apparently decided that this kind of language and the development of nuclear weapons to back it up are nothing much to be overly concerned about, and after all,  Israel's problem.

This is also nothing new. Throughout the 1930's, Hitler and his minions issued openly the most blood curdling speeches about what they were going to do to the Jews, and the world largely just yawned and considered it business as usual then too.

A great  many people thought then that Hitler was the Jew's problem, not theirs and hey, maybe the Nazis have a point about those Yids being too uppity and in control of things. A number of people say the same things now and like Ahmadinejad, these people frequently just substitute 'Zionists' for Jews. And it's gone mainstream. It's by no means a fringe element these days, and the only thing that varies is the way it's costumed and made palatable.

The funny thing is, once Hitler 'dealt with the Jewish problem', he decidedit was a good idea to  expand his focus a bit, and all of a sudden it wasn't just the Jews' problem  anymore.

Rest assured, if Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollahs obtain nuclear weapons, they will attempt to deal with their 'Zionist' problem in exactly the way Ahmadinejad proposes. And if they're successful,  they'll expand their focus too.

Canary, coal mine. Think about it.

WAPO Fact Checker: 'I Don't Fact Check Our Own Writers'

WAPO Fact Checker Glenn Kessler apparently got his pee pee whacked by his bosses at the Washingtone Post after he gave a story the Post ran on June 21 about Bain Capital, Mitt Romney’s old firm claiming it invested in companies that were “pioneers” in the practice of shipping jobs overseas four Pinnochios for untruthfullness.

Kessler now says he refuses to fact check stories published in his newspaper, and thus will not award any Pinocchios even for comments made by political candidates about stories reported in the Washington Post:

Kessler has announced he is not going to issue any Pinocchios based on claims that President Obama’s campaign has made based on a disputed Washington Post story — although he says the Obama campaign misquotes the WaPo story.

Why? Because “The Fact Checker does not check the facts in the reporting of Washington Post writers or columnists.” He does this in a column that defends the Post’s reporting. {...}

The column then goes on to say that the Obama campaign has made false claims regarding the story – which, remember, the Romney campaign still claims was inaccurate to begin with.

“[T]here is little in the Post article that backs up the Obama campaign’s spin,” Kessler says.

Nevertheless, he refuses to scold the Obama campaign for this. “Given that this debate involves an interpretation of a Post article, we are not going to award any Pinocchios.”

Translation? 'Umm, I like my job and it's been made clear to me that if I want to keep it, dissing the Washington Post's own biased reporting had better not ever happen again.'

And that apparently includes bogus campaign ads based on it.

Obviously, you can't fault Kessler for this...it's his bosses.

What was that about freedom of the press and journalistic ethics again?

The Modern UK - Kidnapping Children for Their Parents 'Thought Crimes'

Question Britain's multiculturalism and the quasi-fascist beliefs of the ruling elite, and you risk having your child snatched away from you by the State to be more suitably indoctrinated.

As Paul Weston reveals in a great piece over at Gates of Vienna, that the reality in the UK today.And no, this is no mere hyperbole:

Multicultural Britain is becoming an ever more sinister country in which to live. I am pretty much immune to the totalitarian ideology of multiculturalism, but having said that, even I must confess to being shocked that the British state can now kidnap babies and children simply because their parents question the dictatorial and wholly unnatural orthodoxy of the ruling elites.

According to a recent article in The Daily Express, social workers want to seize a baby as soon as it is born because they are concerned about the mother’s links to the English Defence League.

Durham County Council has told Toni McLeod she poses a “risk of significant harm” to her baby because social workers fear the child would become radicalised with EDL views.

To be fair, Ms McLeod is clearly not a graduate of the Cheltenham Ladies College. She has a bit of previous, as it is known in the argot of the criminal fraternity. Assaulting a police officer, setting her dog on an ex-boyfriend and alleged problems with drink and drugs are variously quoted in the article.

All in all, not the best qualifications for motherhood, but these are not the reasons behind the state sanctioned child-snatching. Ms McLeod has been presumed guilty of a far more serious crime than simply living her life as a result of liberalism’s catastrophic progressive policies.

Ms McLeod you see, is deemed a racist — and quite possibly a fascist to boot — both of which are ranked nowadays as the ultimate evil by the promoters of multiculturalism, who are trying desperately to hold together Britain’s rapidly fragmenting and fantastical multicultural Utopia.

The social worker’s report states: “Toni (Ms McLeod) clearly needs to break away from the inappropriate friendships she has through either the EDL or break-off groups in order that she can model and display appropriate positive relationships to the baby as he/she grows and develops.”

Snatching children from parents who hold “inappropriate” political views is nothing new, although it normally requires a fully totalitarian state such as Nazi Germany or Communist Russia in order to be effected. I hope I am not alone in recognising how deeply sinister and frightening multicultural Britain has become when it seeks to emulate the ideology of such dictatorships.

To add to the irony, the child's father is a serving soldier in Afghanistan, who will be rewarded for doing his bit to fight jihad by having his child kidnapped by the state so the baby can be indoctrinated that there is no such thing. Or as Mr. Weston aptly puts it, dad is going to receive a campaign medal for fighting Islamism abroad while mom is going to have her child snatched by the state for fighting Islamism at home!

All is not totally lost however. From the Express article:

However, her cause has been taken up by Lib Dem MP John Hemming who, despite his loathing for the EDL, raised it in the Commons. He contrasts her treatment with that of the extremist Islamic cleric Abu Qatada, who was allowed to remain with his ­children when he was briefly remanded on bail earlier this year as the Government tries to deport him.

He said: “It raises a curious question as to why Abu Qatada is allowed to radicalise his children but the state won’t take the chance of allowing Toni McLeod to look after her baby in case she says something social workers won’t like.

“I am very strongly opposed to the EDL, which I believe to be a racist organisation, but I do not think we should remove all of the children of the people who go on their demonstrations, however misguided they may be.” {...}

Mr Hemming, who chairs the Justice For Families campaign group, said yesterday: “This case is one where the ‘thought police’ have decided to remove her baby at birth because of what she might say to the baby. I wonder what the baby’s father is thinking when he fights for a country which won’t allow him to have a child because of what the child’s mother might say.

“Toni now accepts she was wrong to have gone on EDL demonstrations but freedom of speech means nothing if people are not allowed to say things that are thought to be wrong.”

Mrs McLeod wants to move to ­Ireland for the birth to avoid England’s social services. Rifleman McLeod, 31, plans to request a transfer to Northern Ireland so he can be with his child.

Of course social Services would never dream of removing the children of a jihadi from their racist and violent parents. That wouldn't be politically correct!

When ordinary people who retain at least a sense of what it means to live in a free country feel they no longer have a political voice, they turn to other means to redress their grievances. Hopefully the tide can be turned before that happens.

Bloggers Win Huge Free Speech And Fair Usage Victory

You'll remember that a sleazy, disreputable firm of weasels in legal form called Righthaven was attempting to profit by suing bloggers for supposed 'copyright infringements' of clients like The Las Vegas Journal-Review and other clients.

A federal judge not only dismissed a key test case, but accused Righthaven of making "multiple inaccurate and likely dishonest statements to the court" and has given them two weeks to explain in writing why it should not be sanctioned "for this flagrant misrepresentation to the Court."

A few bloggers who already made out of court settlements with these bandits will likely have to file suit to recoup the monies paid and any legal fees.

A huge win...but I urge people to continue not to link to or cite any news sources like the LVRJ that participated in this scam, just to teach the scum a lesson.

The Google Blogger Meltdown And A Government Effort To Restrict The Internet

I've received a lot of e-mails from a number of you wondering what's been going on, since I haven't posted any articles since early yesterday and several appear to have vanished.

Actually, Google's Blogger platform which hosts JP has been down since yesterday. Apparently they were fiddlin' around and it went awry.

The latest Blogger said on their status website, they had deleted all material from May 12 on, were now restoring them and Blogger should be up 'shortly' - that was at 6:07 AM PSDT. As you can tell, Blogger is now back up, but when the stuff that disappeared will be restored is anyone's guess.

In an interesting side note, the Senate has just introduced legislation to allow the guv'mint to shut down websites at will. The ostensible purpose is to prevent piracy and copyright violations for the music and movie industry, but it has some interesting implications as I'm sure you can see. It's Friday the Thirteenth, an appropriate day for this.

A major feature of the Protect IP Act, introduced by a bi-partisan group of 11 senators , would give the government the authority to bring lawsuits against websites and obtain court orders requiring search engines like Google to stop displaying links to them.

Not only that, but the bill allows the Justice Department to obtain court orders demanding that American Internet Service providers (ISPs) stop rendering the Domain Name System for a particular website — meaning the sites would no longer be accessible within the United States. Essentially, if you think of the DNS as a telephone connection, it means that a site can have its number disconnected so youcan't reach iot anymore...at least here in America.

All this would vastly increase the government’s power to disrupt and shutter websites “dedicated to infringing activities.” Right now, that just means sites engaging in hosting things like movies and music that involve copyright violations. Later of course, it could mean something else.

If this becomes law, it tilts us a little bit more towards the Rome side of things versus the Republic, so if that concerns you I suggest letting your representatives know how you feel about the matter.

The New Egypt: Blogger Sentenced To 3 years Criticizing Army Rulers

The new Egyptian government isn't only cracking down on demonstrations - it's cracking down on even ordinary notions of free speech.

Blogger Maikel Nabil, 26, was taken from his home in Cairo by five military police officers early on March 28 and charged with insulting the military establishment and "spreading false information."

The 'false information' involved posting pictures and video clips on his blog of protesters he said had been beaten by military police during demonstrations in Tahrir Square and elsewhere.

Nabil's lawyers were informed the judge would rule today, April 12th, but later discovered he had already been sentenced to three years in prison in their absence the previous Sunday.

The fact that Nabil is a Coptic Christian and champions Israel on his blog for its rights and democratic freedoms probably didn't help him either.

Various human rights organizations suspect that anything from hundreds to thousands of Egyptians are being held and tried before military courts behind closed doors since President Hosni Mubarak's ousting on February 11.

"The methods used by the Egyptian military do not seem to have evolved since Hosni Mubarak's fall," said Reporters Without Borders secretary-general Jean-Francois Julliard.

"A civilian should not be tried by a military court. This is not the way things are done in the democratic society to which Egyptians aspire," he added.

Au contraire Msr. Julliard...what made you think most Egyptians aspire to a democratic society? I guarantee you,blasphemy laws against criticizing Islam will come next.

I have a feeling that some Egyptians may end up wishing Mubarak was back in power..

Cringing Into Dhimmitude

The following is a statement released by General David Petraeus and and NATO Ambassador Mark Sedwill:

KABUL, Afghanistan (April 3, 2011) – In view of the events of recent days, we feel it is important on behalf of ISAF [i.e., the International Security Assistance Force] and NATO members in Afghanistan to reiterate our condemnation of any disrespect to the Holy Qur’an and the Muslim faith. We condemn, in particular, the action of an individual in the United States who recently burned the Holy Qur’an.



We also offer condolences to the families of all those injured and killed in violence which occurred in the wake of the burning of the Holy Qur’an.



We further hope the Afghan people understand that the actions of a small number of individuals, who have been extremely disrespectful to the Holy Qur’an, are not representative of any of the countries of the international community who are in Afghanistan to help the Afghan people.

Notice the servile tone of this missive, written by the man who is our wartime commander of the most powerful military on the planet and the ambassador of the wealthiest, most powerful collection of nations in the world.

There's no condemnation at all of the hideous barbarians who stormed a UN compound and slaughtered men and women in the name of Allah who were there on what they thought was a humanitarian mission on behalf of the very people who cheerfully murdered them.

No, no condemnation, because they were doing it on behalf of the Holy Qu'ran...which tells these people it's a holy deed to to terrorize unbelievers. The mullahs who incited the mob at Mazar-e-Sharif used that very same Holy Qu'ran as the marching orders for murder in the name of Islam.

And make no mistake...this was about Islam. The Nepalese guards who were under orders not to use their weapons to defend themselves, the Norwegian female aid workers, the Swedish and Romanian administrators who were dragged away and decapitated, all were non-Muslims. In fact, Pavel Ershov, a Russian diplomat who was captured by the mob managed to save his own life by convincing them he was a Muslim.

Instead, all of the general and the ambassador's condemnation and vitriol is devoted towards the preacher who burned a Qu'ran, in accordance with his First Amendment rights under our Constitution, something General Petraeus swore an oath to defend and protect. There's not even a call for justice to be executed on the murderers, or on the imams who incited them.

In subsequent statements. General Petraeus even doubled down, referring to the Qu'ran burning as "hateful, extremely disrespectful and enormously intolerant," and the mob as being in the grip of "perhaps understandable passions."

'Understandable passions?' Is this what it has come to? Have we lost all sense of ourselves and whom we are, that we now feel the need to bow down before the values of a bunch of savages living mentally in the 7th century?

In General Petraeus' defense, it must be remembered whom his commander-in-chief is, and that President Obama likely demanded something like this from him. But I think Patton, MacArthur and even Eisenhower would likely have resigned if FDR had ever demanded this sort of kowtowing from them.

The key phrase, of course occurs in the last part of this disgraceful missive, where General Petraeus and Ambassador Sedwill announce that our mission in Afghanistan is 'to help the Afghan people.'

Not to win a war, not to destroy our enemies, not even the amorphous goal of 'fighting terrorism', but to 'help the Afghan people'. That's why they say we're there. In that short phrase can be read the entire failure thus far of the war we've been involved in since 9/11.

It would never occur to them that the people they're talking about regard themselves as members of their local tribe or clan first, Muslims second, Pashtuns, Tajiks, Uzbeks and Hazaras third and Afghans as a very distant fourth, or that their idea of the sort of help might be very different from ours. Like wanting us gone, so they can resume their accustomed ways without interference.

Even more troubling than General Petraeus and Ambassador Sedwill are the pronouncements of certain US Senators, who appear to be leading the charge towards dhimmitude in American life.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid now claims he's going to have the Qu'ran burning 'looked into', whatever that means. And GOP Senator Lindsay Graham likewise is sounding the charge for legislation that " limit some forms of freedom of speech. Because we're in a war."

The stupidity of this, the inherent cultural cringe is a powerful reason why we're still losing this war a decade after it started. The same people who claim this is a war of ideas and values seem to be the first ones willing to disparage and disrespect our own. What happens, Senator , when something else happens that Muslims don't like and use as an excuse for murder in the name of Islam?

To paraphrase the old game show question, how low will you go? How far will you bend over?

Let me get one thing straight. There's only one reason, and only one for not burning a Qu'ran..and that's because it's rude and somewhat unkind. But there's no reason to elevate it to afford the Qu'ran, mosques or imams any more respect and tolerance than Muslims give churches, synagogues, Buddhist and Hindu Temples, the American flag, the Bible, the Torah, Priests, nuns, Rabbis or indeed just about any non-Muslim.

Here's a revolutionary concept to apply to the Muslim world - if you want our money, our trade, our military defending your regimes, access to Western technology and luxuries and visas to study and work in our countries, we demand respect for our customs and beliefs as the price of admission.

You want to send imams to America and fund mosques here? Fine, in exact relatio to the West's being able to send Christian missionaries and build churches in Dar Islam. You want Islam and its adherents free to worship and respected in our countries? Certainly...to the exact degree you respect Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims in yours. No more, no less.

To demand anything less is be as inherently racist as Senators Reid, Graham and the rest of the politically correct mob rushing towards dhimmitude and abasement are by assuming that Muslims by their very nature are incapable of acting like civilized human beings and exhibiting rational behavior.

If Senator Graham and Reid are correct, then perhaps we're better off in the long run taking Ann Coulter's advice the day after 9/11, invading the Muslim world and converting the inhabitants to Christianity.

However, if Graham and Reid and their ilk are wrong, we had better make some significant changes in how we deal with Islam, the Muslim world and the honor/shame culture that pervades them before all we're left with is Ann Coulter's alternative...or abject surrender.

Pakistani Actress Defies Mullahs Who Accuse Her of 'Immorality'

This is an amazing video that's in the process of going viral.

Pakistani actress Veena Malik committed a grave sin, apparently..she appeared on an Indian TV show dressed like a modern 21st century woman and actually behaved with love, decency and tolerance towards the Hindus in the cast.

Because of that, she's being roundly condemned in Pakistan and is under a death fatwa from the Taliban.

But that hasn't affected her raw courage at all, as she lays into an obscene, hypocritical Muslim cleric who denounces her for her 'crime'...appearing on the Indian “Big Brother” show to show the Indian public across the border that not every Pakistani is a savage, hate-filled monster and that there are Pakistanis like her that 'who believe in love, entertainment and fun.'

Unfortunately, there are a lot more Pakistanis like the cleric than there are like Veena Malik. I hope she's taking adequate precautions.

(hat tip, Allah)
