After a brief manhunt and a shootout with police, an Afghanistan immigrant named Ahmad Khan Rahami has been arrested. He is suspected to be the bomber in the recent New Jersey and New York attacks.

Two police officer were wounded in the shootout with Rahami in Linden, New Jersey. The mayor of the nearby city of Elizabeth said: one officer’s vest was struck, and the other was shot in the hand. Thankfully both will recover.

#FBINewark would like to honor the heroism of the Linden PD. Wishing a fast recovery to the 2 wounded officers #Linden #LindenPD

♦ (Via CNN) – […]  Rahami traveled for extended periods to Afghanistan and Pakistan in the last five years, officials said. He spent several weeks in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and Quetta, Pakistan, in 2011. (more…)

• Why did CNN specifically broadcast the Congressional Black Caucus dinner in Washington DC yesterday?
• Why did President Obama and Hillary Clinton make the decision to attack Donald Trump at this dinner?
• Why did Hillary Clinton’s campaign make a specific decision to resurrect the worn out Obama birtherism narrative?
• Why did Pastor Faith Timmons plan to ambush candidate Donald Trump during a speech in Flint Michigan?

The reason for those and many more obvious racial political strategies can be found within the following report: “Black voters are turning from Clinton to Trump in new poll”

[…]  Donald Trump is gaining support among African-American voters — whose enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton is eroding, a tracking poll released Saturday revealed.

Trump saw a 16.5 percentage-point increase in backing from African-American voters in a Los Angeles Times/University of Southern California tracking poll, up from 3.1 percent on Sept. 10 to 19.6 percent through Friday.

Motive “unknown”…   
Minnesota – A knife-wielding man who injured eight people at a mall in central Minnesota Saturday evening asked at least one victim whether they were Muslim and referenced Allah during the assault, authorities said Wednesday.

St. Cloud Police Chief William Blair Anderson said the suspect, whom he did not identify, was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer. All but one of the eight victims had been treated and released from a local hospital and all were expected to survive their injuries.
Police responded reports of several stabbings at the Crossroads Mall at around 8:30 p.m. local time. Witnesses also reported hearing gunshots at the scene.  (more…)

Things just got worse for the professional fibbers within Hillary Clinton’s campaign as the former McClatchy Washington Bureau Chief, James Asher, outlines how Hillary Clinton’s two closest aides, including Sidney Blumenthal, convinced the outlet to send reporters to Kenya to investigate the Obama “birther” controversy.

(Via McClatchy) […]  “During the 2008 Democratic primary, Sid Blumenthal visited the Washington Bureau of McClatchy Co.,” Asher said in an email Friday to McClatchy, noting that he was at the time the investigative editor and in charge of Africa coverage.
“During that meeting, Mr. Blumenthal and I met together in my office and he strongly urged me to investigate the exact place of President Obama’s birth, which he suggested was in Kenya. We assigned a reporter to go to Kenya, and that reporter determined that the allegation was false. (more…)

Well, this story is so brutally ironic it will not fit in the Irony folder. You just cannot make this stuff up folks…

You might remember a Hispanic political activist named Tony Yapias, who was extremely critical of Donald Trump’s assertion that some illegal Mexican aliens were rapists.

Tony Yapias is the director of ‘Proyecto Latino de Utah’.  Mr. Yapias also coordinated numerous protest events against Donald Trump including a rather violent display in Salt Lake City, Utah. – SEE HERE–
This week Tony Yapias has been arrested for rape.   However, not only was Yapias arrested for rape – his victim was, …wait for it…, yep, an illegal alien.
Yes, it appears Mexican rapist Tony Yapias felt additionally empowered by the fact his victim was less likely to be able to contact law enforcement.
However, as Fox13 in Salt Lake City reports:

[…]  Despite the woman’s fears concerning immigration issues, court documents state, she reported the assault the day after it happened. She was also examined by a forensic nurse who found she had multiple physical injuries consistent with her explanation of what happened (link)

Mr. Yapias threatened, raped and blackmailed his victim specifically because of her undocumented illegal immigration status.
Here’s the full story from Fox13 in Utah – SALT LAKE CITY – Well-known Hispanic activist Tony Yapias was charged with rape after he allegedly assaulted a woman who ended their four-year relationship a few months ago. (more…)

The media was/is so invested in protecting Hillary Clinton – they have dispatched provable empirical facts in order to drive a demonstrably false narrative.
There is so much evidence the Clinton campaign began the “birther” narrative against candidate Obama, it is beyond absurd to claim differently.
In short, the media are destroying themselves in epic fashion.
Former Clinton Campaign Manager Patti Solis Doyle admitted today on CNN a Clinton campaign worker originated the story about Obama:

The campaign team of Donald Trump noted and drew attention to the Doyle admission, and outlined further evidence in a media statement.

Here is the transcript from today’s Donald Trump campaign event in Greensville, North Carolina. In Donald Trump’s speech tonight he hit upon the key element:

This speech is intensely critical.  Take your time to comprehend it slowly.  I’ve highlighted a key paragraph that just astounded me when I heard it….
[ TRANSCRIPT ] Thank you. It’s great to be back in North Carolina.
In 62 days, we are going to win this state – and we are going to win the White House.
This is our chance to end years of injustice, corruption and betrayal.
This is our chance to solve all of the problems that have gone unsolved for so many years.
For how long have people been saying Washington is broken and controlled by special interests?
This is the year we can finally fix it.
That’s because change has to come from outside of our broken and corrupt system.
We will never fix our rigged system by relying on the people who rigged it in the first place.
We will never solve our problems by relying on the politicians who created our problems.

You know you’re directly over the target when the insufferable U.S. media drag out ‘gang-of-eight’ Senator Jeff Flake as flack and chaffe countermeasures to Donald Trump’s immigration plan.  So entirely predictable…

CNN’s Jake Tapper starts it off:

Rasmussen is considered a “right-leaning” polling firm the same way PPP is considered “left-leaning”.  Consequently all data, especially this year, should be taken with a grain of salt.   Raw data -when honestly collected- is of value; but the espoused interpretations of that data should be viewed skeptically regardless of delivery vehicle.

Today Rasmussen’s weekly tracking poll finds Donald Trump (40%) slightly ahead of Hillary Clinton (39%) and easily within the margin of error (+/- 3).  Of additional interest, Rasmussen joins with a growing number of other data sources to seek the answer to the possibly hidden Trump voter (ie. the monster vote).

By surveying “likely voters” about their willingness to share who they are voting for, Rasmussen discovers 25% of Independent voters are not willing to tell others who they are voting for.   17% of Republican likely voters are also unwilling; only 10% of Democrat voters feel the same way. (more…)

This video cuts directly through the preferred media narrative, and also exposes the race-baiting attacks against Donald Trump for what they are, ridiculous.

Watch as Jesse Jackson speaks about Donald Trump calling him 30 years ago to offer support and encouragement.

Listen as Jackson talks about Trump’s known minority outreach to the black community including the offering of specific assistance to the Rainbow Push coalition….. all of it long before businessman Trump became presidential candidate Trump.

Watch and, more importantly, share:
