Houston Police Chief Illegally Surveils Dana Loesch Because He Does Not Agree With Her

Houston Police Chief Says He's 'Watching' Dana Loesch. She Torches Him.

This week, NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch smoked left-wing Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo after he made a creepy and harassing remark toward her, suggesting that he and his police department are "watching" her.

It all started when Acevedo wrote a controversial Facebook post with strong Democratic overtones that said that he was "not interested" in the public's views on gun rights because, as he suggested, guns are "the problem."

That message and some of Acevedo's other far-left stances on issues drew the attention of Loesch, who called him out over it.

Acevedo hilariously responded like a child to some of the tweets put out by NRATV that featured comments made by Loesch, writing: "Bye forever or until we meet in court."

Not intimidated, Loesch continued to call him out over his policies, which led to Acevedo saying that he and his department "we will be watching" her.

Acevedo was ill-prepared for what came next, as Loesch called out his insinuation that he might be having her surveilled. Loesch responded with the following series of tweets:

Leftist Equality? Hardly!

TOTALITARIAN IN NYC: De Blasio Issues ‘Cultural Plan’ Linking Museum Funding To Skin Color

On Friday, New York Mayor Bill De Blasio – who suggested today that the presence of The New York Post was harmful to his horribly-governed city – announced a “cultural plan” for New York. According to The New York Times, De Blasio looks to “link future funding for museums and arts groups to diversity of their employees and board members.”

So, no longer will public dollars merely go to artists based on the alleged quality of their work. Now De Blasio will explicitly link those dollars to the skin color and sexual orientation of the artists. As the Times continues:

This unusual move by the city, which rarely dictates policy to its cultural leaders, puts pressure on the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Carnegie Hall, the American Museum of Natural History and other pre-eminent institutions that are led largely by white male executives and power brokers from Wall Street, real estate and other industries.

Because the most important thing about art is obviously whether its funders are white. White people’s art is simply too stultifying – let alone art by non-white people funded by white people. De Blasio said, “We do this because we believe in fairness.” Not fairness of opportunity, of course. Equality of outcome, no matter the quality of the work itself. And then De Blasio, who gives practically none of his money to charity, tore into those cultural institutions largely supported by charity: calling them “elitist,” he added, “There is still the assumption among many New Yorkers about where they belong and where they don’t belong.” So, in other words, if too many white people give money and sit on the board of the Met, De Blasio will look to cut funding to the Met, even if the Met is funding projects by people of color.

De Blasio explained, “We’ve got a long way to go. We’ve got more work to do,” citing the fact that 26 percent of senior staff members of cultural organizations are non-white. Which, of course, is not proof of discrimination of any sort, but is good enough for De Blasio to now promote government discrimination.

By the way, De Blasio told the Times that he’d never been to his local museum.

But at least the City Council can posture – Melissa Mark-Viverito braged, “There are people who will resist, who will resent, who will obstruct. Any moment for equality and inclusion doesn’t come easily.” Perhaps New York should begin by giving back any Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Ford, and Carnegie cash used to establish major institutions in the city. After all, those are old dead white men.

The totalitarianism of the Left won’t stop at crackdowns on political viewpoints (Governor Andrew Cuomo famously said conservatives weren’t welcome in his state). It extends to art, too. Mao had his cultural revolution, and Maoist-lite De Blasio will have his as well.

Former Spokane, Wash. NCAA leader Rachel Dolezal, who made international headlines in 2015 when it was revealed she was a white woman falsely claiming to be black, has been criminally charged on three counts relating to a welfare fraud scheme.

She has been charged with first degree theft by welfare fraud, perjury in the second degree, and false verification for public assistance, after investigators discovered she lied about her income in order to qualify for welfare payments.

Dolezal, who now admits she is biologically white but continues to call herself black, legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo.

“According to court documents, Diallo illegally received $8,747 in food assistance, and illegally received $100 in childcare assistance. Total restitution, according to the documents, is $8,847, allegedly stolen from August 2015 through November 2017,” Spokane NBC affiliate KHQ reported in breaking the story.

KHQ reports the investigation began in March 2017 when welfare officials learned Diallo has published a book about her life, but had not reported any income or royalties.

Subpoenaed bank records reveal Diallo deposited a total of $83,924 into her bank account between August 2015 and September 2017. In filings for welfare payments during that time Diallo reported her income as less than $500 a month.

Just as she did when confronted about her race claims in 2015, Diallo tried to pretend there was no issue, then refused to answer any further questions.

The State of Washington is seeking restitution for the defrauded payments, and may seek a prison term of up to 15 years.

Several months before being exposed as a race hoaxster, Diallo she told police she was being targeted by white supremacists who were mailing her threatening letters at the Spokane NAACP’s post office box.

A police investigation revealed the letters could not have been mailed, as they had no stamps or postmarks, and only Diallo and the mail carrier had access to the mailbox. No postal employee reported handling or seeing the envelopes, leaving Diallo as the only possible source for the letters.

Diallo was previously employed by Eastern Washington University where, in her online biography, she claimed to have been the victim of “at least eight documented hate crimes [targeting her] and her children during her residency in North Idaho.”

In each case, Diallo was the only witness. Diallo claimed racists painted a swastika on the door of the Human Rights Education Institute at which she worked, but no one witnessed the incident and the group’s security cameras had been turned off. HREI suspected Diallo staged it.

Diallo also claims racists left a noose on her front porch. Again, there were no witnesses. A neighbor recognized the rope as one he had fashioned into a makeshift noose a year earlier to hang up a deer for processing, but the rope had gone missing. Investigators called Diallo to ask about the neighbor’s statement, at which point she did not return their call.

Is She Delusional?

Hillary admits she would like to be CEO of Facebook

May 26, 2018

Hillary will do or say anything right now to keep her name in the headlines.

Her latest utterance came during an appearance at Harvard, when Hillary said she would like to be the CEO of Facebook.

What would a world be like with someone like Hillary controlling the flow of news to people?

Hillary had made it quite clear than unless you are telling news with a liberal twist, she considers it to be fake news.

When asked what company, if she had her choice, to be CEO, Hillary made no bones about going after one of the most powerful sites in the world today… Facebook.

“Facebook. It’s the biggest news platform in the world,” Clinton stated.

She continued, “Most people in our country get their news, true or not, from Facebook.”

Clinton then went on to compliment David Ignatius, an associate editor and writer for the Washington Post.

A quick look at recent articles by Ignatius and it is quite apparent he has an agenda against not only President Trump, but conservative beliefs in general.

Conservatives Would Have No Voice

Clinton also went out of her way to slam several news sites by hinting they are manipulating the news.

Of course, the two she singled out were Fox News and Sinclair.

Clinton would much prefer the likes of CNN and MSNBC, where every bit of news gets twisted to push a liberal agenda.

Now imagine her in charge of a social media platform that has already put restrictions on conservative news.

If Clinton were in charge of Facebook, the entire country can rest assured the ONLY news that would get through would be news that shows liberal news in a positive light.

The bottom line here is Hillary Clinton continues to try to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes as some great savior for the rule of law and the truth.

This from a woman that has spent her entire political career threatening whistleblowers, hiding the truth, and breaking the law.

English Royalty's First Official Visit To Israel

Prince William to Visit Israel June 25

By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz May 27, 2018 , 3:25 am

“Don’t revile a king even among your intimates. Don’t revile a rich man even in your bedchamber; For a bird of the air may carry the utterance, And a winged creature may report the word.” Ecclesiastes 10:20 (The Israel Bible™)

Kensington Palace Britain’s Prince William, the second in line to the throne, will come on an official visit to Israel on June 25 marking the first ever official visit by a member of the British royal family to the Holy Land. He will visit Jerusalem on June 26 before going on to Ramallah on June 27.

His imminent visit was first announced in March but it did not include specific dates or the places he intends to visit. On Thursday, it was announced that William, whose official title is the Duke of Cambridge, will spend a total of three days in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Ramallah. No further details were given about who he will meet or his agenda while in Israel.

His trips to Israel will come one day after a visit to Jordan.

William is the eldest son of Prince Charles and Diana, now deceased. He is the second-in-line to the throne after his father. He is married to Kate Middleton who gave birth to their third child, Prince Louis, on April 23. She is not scheduled to accompany William on his visit to Israel.

British royals have been to Israel in the past for unofficial visits. Prince Charles attended the funeral of former president Shimon Peres in 2016 and the funeral of slain prime minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1994 but these were not considered official royal visits and did not include diplomatic meetings. In 1994, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Charles’ father, came to Israel briefly for a ceremony commemorating his mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, who is buried on Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives. Prince Charle visited the gravesite after attending Peres’ funeral.

During World War II, Princess Alice sheltered Jews in Nazi-occupied Greece, for which she was recognized by Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust Memorial, as one of the Righteous Among the Nations. She died in 1969 and her remains first lay in St George’s Chapel, Windsor. Her final wish was to be buried on the Mount of Olives, near her aunt Elizabeth, Grand Duchess of Russia, who was murdered by the Bolsheviks. Philip was advised not to go after his mother was reinterred in 1988 but visited six years later, although at the time, Buckingham Palace emphasized it was in a private capacity.

Both the Duke of Kent and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester have made official visits to Israel while the Earl of Wessex visited in 2007 on behalf of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. During his trip in 2007 the Duke of Gloucester visited the St John eye clinic in the Occupied Territories, but this was regarded as a charitable visit.
