Hypocritical Democrat politicians backing calls to “ defund the police ” should “ lead by example ” and “ defund [ their ] own protection first , ” according to former police officer Tom Homan who spoke at Saturday ’ s “ We Back Blue ” event in D.C. , and singled out Nancy Pelosi and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez for criticism .
“ Defund your protection first , ” he said , then added , “ You think they ’ re going to do it ?
They ’ re never going to do it.
” Homan , a former officer who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his community , spoke at the event and slammed progressive politicians who have , in the wake of the George Floyd protests , largely vilified police officers and signaled their support for defunding police departments across the US .
“ Schumer and Pelosi are not speaking up , ” he told the audience , emphasizing , again , that “ we ’ re all against ” racism .
“ No one ’ s going to justify that , but they ’ ll stand out on a moment ’ s notice and defend people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illegally in violation of law , but they won ’ t stand out there and defend the men and women who leave the safety and security of their home every day … to defend their communities , ” he continued .
“ They haven ’ t said a word.

“ She says we should defund the police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

So lead by example , ” he suggested .
“ Let ’ s take the law enforcement officers that provide them 24/7 law enforcement security .

“ Defund your protection first , ” he added .
“ You think they ’ re going to do it ?

Judge Tosses Hillary’s Appeal To Avoid Testifying Under Oath, Orders Her To Testify On Emails and Benghazi

While everybody was distracted by the protests and riots engulfing blue cities across America , it was easy to miss anything else in the news — especially if that news was barely mentioned by any major mainstream media outlet .
Take for example the news of Hillary Clinton , who lost her appeal in the US Court of Appeals for the D.C .
Circuit on June 2 , where she desperately tried to avoid testifying under oath to Judicial Watch about her emails and the Benghazi case .
The hearing in the D.C .
Circuit came in the case Judicial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case involving a request for State Department documents and communication about the 2012 terror attack at the U.S. mission in Benghazi , Libya .
U.S .
Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack .
AmericanThinker report : The case also involves Clinton ’ s use of a private email server as secretary of state .
Judicial Watch , the team of conservative lawyers hellbent on getting at the truth , uncovered another 756 pages of emails the FBI was able to retrieve that were part of Hillary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between some prominent Washington figures and classified emails sent by former prime minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair .
The emails were part of the batch “ Clinton tried to delete or destroy , ” Judicial Watch stated in its press release .
It showed that Clinton had asked Blair to continue using her private email after her confirmation and also revealed that Blair was sending classified information on her unsecured server .
Clinton had been “ extremely careless ” in her handling of classified information , as ex–FBI director James Comey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2016 , announcing there would be no charges against her .
Judicial Watch did not drop the case .
On June 2 , Clinton ’ s lawyers challenged a March 2 order from U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth , who ordered Clinton to testify : P. 10–11 : “ The Court holds that Secretary Clinton and Ms. Mills [ Counselor and Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton during her whole tenure as United States Secretary of State ] can not be questioned about the underlying actions taken after the Benghazi attack , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the existence of any emails , documents , or text messages related to the Benghazi attack .
Such inquiries would go to the adequacy of the search without expanding the parameters…Accordingly , the Court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART this request.
” Clinton had argued that she had an “ indisputable right ” not to testify because she was a former high-level government official and that the FBI already tried to retrieve her emails .
Tom Fitton , Judicial Watch president , said Clinton ’ s lawyers ’ petition practically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ important to have to testify to us.

They would want to ask her why she deleted 33,000 emails from her private server and what information they contained — because despite her claims that they were “ personal , ” the FBI recovered more than 17,000 of them that were work-related .
Did they contain any classified information ?
Did they contain human intel ?

The hearing in the D.C. Circuit came in the case Judicial Watch v. Clinton, a public records case involving a request for State Department documents and communication about the 2012 terror attack at the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya. U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack.
AmericanThinker report: The case also involves Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state.
Judicial Watch, the team of conservative lawyers hellbent on getting at the truth, uncovered another 756 pages of emails the FBI was able to retrieve that were part of Hillary Clinton’s unsecured server revealing communications between some prominent Washington figures and classified emails sent by former prime minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair.
The emails were part of the batch “Clinton tried to delete or destroy,” Judicial Watch stated in its press release. It showed that Clinton had asked Blair to continue using her private email after her confirmation and also revealed that Blair was sending classified information on her unsecured server.
Clinton had been “extremely careless” in her handling of classified information, as ex–FBI director James Comey carefully and rather mildly concluded in July 2016, announcing there would be no charges against her. Judicial Watch did not drop the case.
On June 2, Clinton’s lawyers challenged a March 2 order from U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, who ordered Clinton to testify:
P.5: “The Court is not confident that State currently possesses every Clinton email recovered by the FBI; even years after the FBI investigation, the slow trickle of new emails has yet to be explained. For this reason, the Court believes the subpoena would be worthwhile and may even uncover additional previously undisclosed emails. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS this request.”
P. 10: “The Court GRANTS Judicial Watch’s request to depose Secretary Clinton on matters concerning her reasons for using a private server and her understanding of State’s records management obligations.”
P. 10–11: “The Court holds that Secretary Clinton and Ms. Mills [Counselor and Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton during her whole tenure as United States Secretary of State] cannot be questioned about the underlying actions taken after the Benghazi attack, but they may be questioned about their knowledge of the existence of any emails, documents, or text messages related to the Benghazi attack. Such inquiries would go to the adequacy of the search without expanding the parameters…Accordingly, the Court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART this request.”
Clinton had argued that she had an “indisputable right” not to testify because she was a former high-level government official and that the FBI already tried to retrieve her emails.
Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president, said Clinton’s lawyers’ petition practically states that “she’s too important to have to testify to us.” “She’s desperate to stop this questioning by Judicial Watch because no one has asked her questions like this before[.] … We know what the issues are, and the court wants specific questions answered, but now she’s seeking this extraordinary emergency intervention to stop us.”
Judicial Watch wants to know about the Benghazi talking points — when senior Obama administration officials knowingly misled the country about what had happened by heavily scrubbing the CIA’s talking points regarding terror references on the eve of the 2012 presidential election. They would want to ask her why she deleted 33,000 emails from her private server and what information they contained — because despite her claims that they were “personal,” the FBI recovered more than 17,000 of them that were work-related. Did they contain any classified information? Did they contain human intel? Did she know about the upcoming terrorist attack? What measures did she use to prevent the Benghazi attack? What measures did she use to save the American lives? And many, many more.

newspunch--2020-06-14--200 TV Stations to Air Documentary on Study That Concluded WTC 7 NOT Destroyed by Fires on 9/11

200 PBS affiliate stations across the country will start airing a mini-documentary about the explosive findings of the recently completed University of Alaska Fairbanks study on the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7 .
The final report of the rigorous four-year computer modeling simulation , that was followed by a robust peer review process , concluded World Trade Center Building 7 could NOT have collapsed as a result of office fires , as the “ official ” explanation dubiously claims .
The documentary film is titled Spotlight On : SEVEN and will air for three whole months on 200 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ viewers .
Below is an announcement on the paradigm shifting move by PBS from Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth : For those wanting to watch the short film on television , “ Spotlight On ” programs do not air at scheduled times because they run as needed in between longer shows .
To have a good chance of catching it , you ’ ll need to be tuned in to PBS often .
But rest assured that Spotlight On : SEVEN will be seen by at least three million people , most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or seen the collapse of Building 7 .
We at Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth are grateful to the hundreds of supporters who donated so that SEVEN could air on PBS .
The impending release of SEVEN on PBS has been attracting media coverage all week , including this report on nationally broadcast Fox News Radio : Clip from Film : “ You didn ’ t hear anything about World Trade Center 7 , not for a long time.
” Reporter : “ A film dedicated to the controversy surrounding the collapse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will air on PBS starting Thursday .
The film is a project of the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth .

” Clip from Film : “ They [ federal investigators ] ignored evidence .
And it wasn ’ t because they didn ’ t know about it.
” Reporter : “ Following the release of their own study and joining together with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they submitted a request for correction so that a new theory that is physically possible and consistent with the evidence emerges .

It is massive .
As reported in April , Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth announced the completed partnership with the University of Alaska Fairbanks ( UAF ) in their final report of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they say actually brought down WTC 7 .
According to the press release , contrary to the conclusions of NIST , the UAF research team finds that the collapse of WTC 7 on 9/11 was not caused by fires but instead was caused by the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building .
“ Our study found that the fires in WTC 7 could not have caused the observed collapse , ” said Professor Leroy Hulsey , the study ’ s principal investigator .
“ The only way it could have fallen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ near-simultaneous failure of every column.
” The extensive four-year study was was funded by Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth ( AE911Truth ) , a nonprofit organization representing more than 3,000 architects and engineers who have signed the organization ’ s petition calling for new investigation into the destruction of the three World Trade Center towers on 9/11 .
“ We are proud to have supported the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Professor Leroy Hulsey in conducting a genuinely scientific study into the reasons for this building ’ s collapse , ” said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AE911Truth .
“ It is now incumbent upon the building community , the media , and government officials to reckon with the implications of these findings and launch a new full-scale investigation.
” According to the study ’ s authors : The UAF research team utilized three approaches for examining the structural response of WTC 7 to the conditions that may have occurred on September 11 , 2001 .
First , we simulated the local structural response to fire loading that may have occurred below Floor 13 , where most of the fires @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occurred .
Second , we supplemented our own simulation by examining the collapse initiation hypothesis developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) .

“Fire did not cause the collapse of WTC 7 on 9/11, contrary to the conclusions of NIST and private engineering firms that studied the collapse. The secondary conclusion of our study is that the collapse of WTC 7 was a global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building.“
The results of this study cannot be dismissed, nor can the fact that the mainstream is now broadcasting it to millions of Americans. It completely destroys the narrative that has been shoved down the throats of Americans for nearly two decades. What’s more, this study backs up thousands of other researchers, scientists, and engineers who have been pointing this out for years.
Below is the official trailer. It is only 2 minutes long, but extremely powerful, which begs the question, do you think it will be allowed to run the entire three month period?

Grammy Award winning rapper Lil Wayne has demanded Black Lives Matter protestors “ stop placing the blame on the whole force and the whole everybody or a certain race or everybody with a badge ” and revealed that a police officer once saved his life .
On an Instagram live video , Lil Wayne said many people take advantage of any opportunity to join a violent protest , despite the fact they have no idea what they are supposedly protesting .
Wayne started by sharing his experience of having his life saved by an off duty police officer who heard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then took him to a hospital and made sure he would survive before leaving .
Wayne was then asked about the police officers arrested in connection to the death of George Floyd in police custody .
“ What we need to do is we need to learn about it more .
If we wan na scream about something , know what we ’ re screaming about .
If we wan na protest about something , know what we ’ re protesting about .
Because if we wan na get into it , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we think we know that we don ’ t know .
… We scream about things that , sometimes , they really ain ’ t true.
” The rapper continued to discuss the virtue signaling involved in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in police custody .
“ Some people put a tweet out and they think they did something .
Some people wear a shirt and they think they did something .
What you gon na do after that ?
Did you actually help the person ?
Did you actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go out there and do something ?
So , if I ain ’ t about to do all that , then I ain ’ t about to do nothing .
I ’ ll pray for ya.
” “ I think when we see these situations , I think we also have to understand that we have to get very specific , and what I mean by that is we have to stop viewing it with such a broad view , meaning we have to stop placing the blame on the whole force and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or everybody with a badge.
” According to Lil Wayne , a major reason why police brutality is still an issue for the black community is because when a black person is unjustly murdered by the police , there is no reform of hiring practices or other potential reasons for police officer to abuse their power .
The police officer seen kneeling over Floyd ’ s neck has been fired , and now has been charged with third degree murder and manslaughter .

Judge Hears Hillary’s Appeal To Avoid Testifying Under Oath, May Order Her To Testify On Emails and Benghazi

While everybody was distracted by the protests and riots engulfing blue cities across America , it was easy to miss anything else in the news — especially if that news was barely mentioned by any major mainstream media outlet .
Take for example the news of Hillary Clinton , who was involved in a court hearing in the US Court of Appeals for the D.C .
Circuit on June 2 , where she is desperately trying to avoid testifying under oath to Judicial Watch about her emails and the Benghazi case .
The hearing in the D.C .
Circuit came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a public records case involving a request for State Department documents and communication about the 2012 terror attack at the U.S. mission in Benghazi , Libya .
U.S .
Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack .
AmericanThinker report : The case also involves Clinton ’ s use of a private email server as secretary of state .
Judicial Watch , the team of conservative lawyers hellbent on getting at the truth , uncovered another 756 pages of emails the FBI was able to retrieve that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unsecured server revealing communications between some prominent Washington figures and classified emails sent by former prime minister of the United Kingdom Tony Blair .
The emails were part of the batch “ Clinton tried to delete or destroy , ” Judicial Watch stated in its press release .
It showed that Clinton had asked Blair to continue using her private email after her confirmation and also revealed that Blair was sending classified information on her unsecured server .
Clinton had been “ extremely careless ” in her handling of classified information , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mildly concluded in July 2016 , announcing there would be no charges against her .
Judicial Watch did not drop the case .
On June 2 , Clinton ’ s lawyers challenged a March 2 order from U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth , who ordered Clinton to testify : P. 10–11 : “ The Court holds that Secretary Clinton and Ms. Mills [ Counselor and Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton during her whole tenure as United States Secretary of State ] can not be questioned about the underlying actions taken after the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questioned about their knowledge of the existence of any emails , documents , or text messages related to the Benghazi attack .
Such inquiries would go to the adequacy of the search without expanding the parameters…Accordingly , the Court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART this request.
” Clinton had argued that she had an “ indisputable right ” not to testify because she was a former high-level government official and that the FBI already tried to retrieve her emails .
Tom Fitton , Judicial Watch president , said Clinton ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she ’ s too important to have to testify to us.
” “ She ’ s desperate to stop this questioning by Judicial Watch because no one has asked her questions like this before [ . ]
… We know what the issues are , and the court wants specific questions answered , but now she ’ s seeking this extraordinary emergency intervention to stop us.
” Judicial Watch wants to know about the Benghazi talking points — when senior Obama administration officials knowingly misled the country about what had happened by heavily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ regarding terror references on the eve of the 2012 presidential election .
They would want to ask her why she deleted 33,000 emails from her private server and what information they contained — because despite her claims that they were “ personal , ” the FBI recovered more than 17,000 of them that were work-related .
Did they contain any classified information ?
Did they contain human intel ?
Did she know about the upcoming terrorist attack ?
What measures did she use to prevent the Benghazi attack ?
What measures did she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And many , many more .
And now , despite all the effort to avoid testimony , Madam Secretary may have to answer questions from Judicial Watch , as the D.C .
Circuit Court of Appeals submitted the case , which will now be heard on September 9 .
Stock up on your popcorn , America .

At least 250 convicted and accused criminals freed from New York ’ s Rikers Island prison have been rearrested a staggering 450 times thanks to Gov .

On March 16 , Martinez was released from Rikers Island under Cuomo ’ s directive .

After his arrest , Martinez was released without ever having to pay bail thanks to Cuomo ’ s bail reform law that eliminated cash bail for a number of nonviolent and violent crimes .
About a month later , Martinez was again arrested by the NYPD for alleged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from jail .
Then , this month , Martinez was twice arrested for vandalizing stores in Manhattan that the owners said they struggled to reopen due to the Chinese coronavirus crisis .
While the mass release of convicted and accused criminals in New York continues and violent crime surges , Mayor Bill de Blasio is vowing to cut NYPD funding .
The reduction in funding for the police would come as murders have jumped 160 percent over the last week and burglaries are up 402 percent .

newspunch--2020-06-15--Democrat Mayor: ‘Institutional Racism’ to Blame for L.A. Homelessness, Not Liberal Govt

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has claimed that “ institutional racism ” is to blame for the homelessness crisis in his city , not California ’ s liberal government .
Garcetti was addressing a press conference to discuss the city ’ s progress in reducing homelessness during the coronavirus outbreak .
“ Institutional racism is a leading cause of homelessness in Los Angeles , ” the Los Angeles mayor told reporters .
“ In Los Angeles County , where 8 to 9 percent of the population is African American , a third of all people experiencing homelessness are black.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ homelessness against black Angelenos , ” Garcetti traced the problem back many generations , to discrimination against black veterans in the post-World War II era , to residential covenants that prevented black people from buying property , and to redlining by banks ( all practices which have been illegal for decades ) .
In December , the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development revealed that California is “ entirely ” responsible for a 2.7 % nationwide rise in homelessness , which rose a staggering 16.4 % in the Golden State .

“Institutional racism is a leading cause of homelessness in Los Angeles,” the Los Angeles mayor told reporters.
“In Los Angeles County, where 8 to 9 percent of the population is African American, a third of all people experiencing homelessness are black.”
Breitbart.com reports: Describing the problem as “homelessness against black Angelenos,” Garcetti traced the problem back many generations, to discrimination against black veterans in the post-World War II era, to residential covenants that prevented black people from buying property, and to redlining by banks (all practices which have been illegal for decades).
In December, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development revealed that California is “entirely” responsible for a 2.7% nationwide rise in homelessness, which rose a staggering 16.4% in the Golden State.

This is pure Marxism.

Enforce the law or there will be state action,” he said.
