thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-08--Trey Gowdy Slams ‘Defund Police’ Movement As ‘Dumbest Idea’ He’s Ever Heard

Trey Gowdy slammed the currently trendy “ defund police ” movement by the extreme left as “ the single dumbest idea I ’ ve ever heard.
” The former federal prosecutor and former congressman from South Carolina analyzed the left ’ s overreaction to the George Floyd case by attempting to dismantle police forces across the nation during an interview with Maria Bartiromo .
“ Who is going to process crime scenes , arrest bad people ?
” Gowdy asked .
“ Who is going to enforce any law , child sex abuse , homicide ?
Who is going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the police ?
” Thinking like a rational person , as Gowdy is , is not going to provide answers when the thought process of extremist liberals can only operate one step at a time .
Police are bad , in their eyes , and that is the only thing they can react to .
One year from now when departments are decimated from lack of funding and crime skyrockets , they ’ ll be singing a different tune .
Or maybe they won ’ t ?

Senator Tim Scott ( R-SC ) joined Gowdy during the Bartiromo interview and concurred , insisting the demand for defunding police is “ a ridiculous idea.
” “ It is not an idea whose time has come , ” he added .
“ It should never come.
” And yet , several prominent Democrats and Hollywood celebrities have called for law enforcement to be defunded .
Gowdy continued by pointing out that issues run much deeper than the horribly violent cases you see being sensationalized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of color , the issues with law enforcement are much broader than who shoots whom , ” he explained .
“ I mean that ’ s incredibly important , but it ’ s arrest rates , it ’ s sentencing disparities , it ’ s access to bond , it ’ s access to diversion programs.
” Gowdy revealed that Scott , who is black , has been stopped even in his role as Senator seven times by law enforcement .
“ He was stopped from entering the Capitol even though he wears @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a CPA , ” Gowdy joked .
“ I look like a gangster and don ’ t wear my House lapel pin and I was never stopped.
” Despite this being the dumbest idea Gowdy has ever heard – and having to deal with Democrats in the House during his career , he ’ s heard quite a few – the left is actually following through with it .
This past weekend , a veto-proof majority of members of the Minneapolis City Council said they want to abolish the city ’ s police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case .
Meanwhile , the Mayor of Los Angeles , Eric Garcetti , announced they would cut roughly $ 150 million from the city ’ s police budget .
Conservative actor James Woods , a lone voice of reason in Hollywood , has suggested liberals who want to defund the police should instead “ opt-out ” of police protection .
If they want lawlessness , fine .
The rest of us prefer to live under law and order in a civilized society .

Perhaps a bad choice to your aims & focus It’s been an excellent choice for the organizers who have been trying to prompt a national convo for years about multibillion-dollar police depts. “Refund” or “reallocate” didn’t do that. “Defund” did.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany laughed off Mitt Romney ’ s show of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement this weekend .
Romney , the Republican Senator from Utah , was filmed marching with protesters while explaining he was there “ to make sure that people understand that Black Lives Matter.
” “ Mitt Romney can say three words outside on Pennsylvania Avenue , ” she told reporters .
“ President Trump won 8 % of the black vote .
Mitt Romney won 2 % of the black vote.
” While it is true that President Trump outperformed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ respective elections , Romney actually grabbed 6 percent of the vote in 2012 .
President Trump has seen approval ratings in the black community run in the double digits for some time now and could expand on his 8 percent mark in 2020 .
Prior to the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd – both situations in which the media tried to generate blame toward the President and both of which disproportionately affected black communities – Trump was delivering real results that can not be denied .
RELATED : Trump Jr. To @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Your Security First McEnany also took aim at Romney ’ s ’ 47 percent ’ comment from the 2012 campaign .
“ There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president [ Barack Obama ] no matter what , ” secret video from the time recorded Romney saying .
“ All right , there are 47 percent who are with him , who are dependent upon government , who believe that they are victims , who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them , who believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , to food , to housing , to you-name-it , ” he continued .
It was too easy for the media at the time to presume Romney was speaking specifically about Obama ’ s black voters .
“ The president takes great offense to those words , ” McEnany insisted before running off some of the President ’ s accomplishments in the black community .
“ That ’ s not America .
Guess what America is ?
” she said .
“ It ’ s when given opportunity , via a Trump opportunity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ races can rise to the occasion and achieve , belief in HBCUs [ historically black colleges and universities ] and giving funding , record funding to HBCUs because we need to enable an education in our country and school choice.
” “ Those kind of actions on the part of the president stand in stark contrast with the very empty words of senator Romney , ” mcEnany concluded .
Earlier this week , President Trump also mocked Romney ’ s sincerity when it came to concerns for the Black Lives Matter group .

Prior to the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd – both situations in which the media tried to generate blame toward the President and both of which disproportionately affected black communities – Trump was delivering real results that can not be denied.
Tremendous sincerity, what a guy. Hard to believe, with this kind of political talent, his numbers would “tank” so badly in Utah! https://t.co/KqHsHmSRKo — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 8, 2020

Very Empty Words
McEnany also took aim at Romney’s ’47 percent’ comment from the 2012 campaign.
“There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president [Barack Obama] no matter what,” secret video from the time recorded Romney saying.
“All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it,” he continued.
It was too easy for the media at the time to presume Romney was speaking specifically about Obama’s black voters.
“The president takes great offense to those words,” McEnany insisted before running off some of the President’s accomplishments in the black community.
“That’s not America. Guess what America is?” she said. “It’s when given opportunity, via a Trump opportunity zone, belief that Americans of all races can rise to the occasion and achieve, belief in HBCUs [historically black colleges and universities] and giving funding, record funding to HBCUs because we need to enable an education in our country and school choice.”
“Those kind of actions on the part of the president stand in stark contrast with the very empty words of senator Romney,” mcEnany concluded.
Earlier this week, President Trump also mocked Romney’s sincerity when it came to concerns for the Black Lives Matter group.

McEnany went off during her press briefing on Monday when she was asked if President Donald Trump is sorry about the way peaceful protesters have been treated after Floyd ’ s death .
“ The president is sorry about the fact that Antifa wreaked havoc in our streets , and the failure of some members of the media to note that , like CNN ’ s Chris Cuomo said , ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supposed to be peaceful.
’ Well , I point him to the First Amendment where it is said you have the right to ‘ peaceably assemble.
’ He should go back and read the Constitution , ” she fired back .
Not stopping there , McEnany targeted Lemon as well .
“ There are many others out there , Don Lemon saying that rioting is a ‘ mechanism to restructure our country , ’ ” McEnany said .
“ The actions of the rioters were not in keeping with the First Amendment and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that there is a discernment between the peaceful protestors , many of whom I have seen , and the rioters.
” McEnany concluded by saying that the president “ will not allow burning buildings.
” This came days after Cuomo received backlash for saying on his CNN show that protesters don ’ t have to be “ polite and peaceful.
” “ Now , too many see the protests as the problem .
No , the problem is what forced your fellow citizens to take to the streets : persistent , poisonous inequities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ according to Fox News .
“ And please , show me where it says protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful , because I can show you that outraged citizens are what made the country what she is and led to any major milestone .
To be honest , this is not a tranquil time .
He later made sure to add that , “ Police are the ones required to be peaceful , to deescalate , to remain calm.
” As for Lemon , he ’ s gone so far as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the environment that led to the death of Floyd , who died in police custody in Minneapolis , Minnesota .
“ We are teetering on a dictatorship .
This is chaos , ” Lemon said last week .
“ Has the president— I ’ m listening , is the president declaring war on Americans ?
What is happening here ?
He is saying that he wants to protect peaceful protesters at the same time sending law enforcement and military into the streets to push peaceful protesters back , to be aggressive with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exact opposite of what he said in that speech.
” We ’ re glad to see that McEnany has called out the media once again for their dangerously unhinged behavior .
She continues to show them that she is just the kind of strong conservative woman that they do not want to mess with !

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-08--Archbishop Writes Letter To President Trump: ‘Stay Strong, Evil Forces Are Targeting You’

Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano wrote a letter to President Donald Trump , warning him that the latest crises rocking the United States are part of an eternal spiritual struggle between the forces of good and evil .
Citing President Trump ’ s strong pro-life stance as a sign of “ good , ” Archbishop Vigano wrote the prophetic and powerful letter to president , encouraging him to “ keep the faith.
” Part of Archbishop Vigano ’ s letter reads : “ For the first time , the United States has in you a President who courageously defends the right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to denounce the persecution of Christians throughout the world , who speaks of Jesus Christ and the right of citizens to freedom of worship .
Your participation in the March for Life , and more recently your proclamation of the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month , are actions that confirm which side you wish to fight on.
” Vigano explained within the letter that he believes “ both of us are on the same side in this battle , albeit with different weapons , ” as he set his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president ’ s visit last week to a D.C. shrine honoring Pope John Paul II .
“ For this reason , I believe that the attack to which you were subjected after your visit to the National Shrine of Saint John Paul II is part of the orchestrated media narrative which seeks not to fight racism and bring social order , but to aggravate dispositions ; not to bring justice , but to legitimize violence and crime ; not to serve the truth , but to favor one political faction , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the full letter here : Washington Archbishop Wilton Gregory , the nation ’ s highest-ranking African American Bishop , had condemned President Trump ’ s visit to the shrine last week .
Gregory issued a statement the day after the visit , reading , “ I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles , which call us to defend the rights of all people , even those with whom we might disagree.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heralded by the media .
Conspicuously , the mainstream media has barely covered the supportive letter written by Archbishop Vigano in support of our president .
This is a great reminder of the real battle we face .
It really is “ good vs evil , ” and we ’ re truly dealing with an epic spiritual battle in this country .
We can ’ t give up and throw in the towel—there is far too much at stake .

Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano wrote a letter to President Donald Trump, warning him that the latest crises rocking the United States are part of an eternal spiritual struggle between the forces of good and evil. Citing President Trump’s strong pro-life stance as a sign of “good,” Archbishop Vigano wrote the prophetic and powerful letter to president, encouraging him to “keep the faith.”
Part of Archbishop Vigano’s letter reads: “For the first time, the United States has in you a President who courageously defends the right to life, who is not ashamed to denounce the persecution of Christians throughout the world, who speaks of Jesus Christ and the right of citizens to freedom of worship. Your participation in the March for Life, and more recently your proclamation of the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month, are actions that confirm which side you wish to fight on.”
Vigano explained within the letter that he believes “both of us are on the same side in this battle, albeit with different weapons,” as he set his sites on the liberal media for disparaging the president’s visit last week to a D.C. shrine honoring Pope John Paul II. “For this reason, I believe that the attack to which you were subjected after your visit to the National Shrine of Saint John Paul II is part of the orchestrated media narrative which seeks not to fight racism and bring social order, but to aggravate dispositions; not to bring justice, but to legitimize violence and crime; not to serve the truth, but to favor one political faction,” the Archbishop declared.

The statement released by Archbishop Gregory was heralded by the media. Conspicuously, the mainstream media has barely covered the supportive letter written by Archbishop Vigano in support of our president. This is a great reminder of the real battle we face. It really is “good vs evil,” and we’re truly dealing with an epic spiritual battle in this country. We can’t give up and throw in the towel—there is far too much at stake.

NFL Star Malik Jackson Refuses To Accept Apology Of Drew Brees – Says American Flag Has ‘Oppressed People’

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Malik Jackson spoke out to blast New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees ’ statements made last week , when he said he would never agree with those who show disrespect to the American flag by kneeling during the national anthem .
“ I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country , ” Brees told Yahoo Finance .
“ Let me just tell what I see or what I feel when the national anthem is played and when I look at the flag of the United States.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ as someone from a military family whose grandfathers served in World War II , he has a great deal of respect for the flag and those who have fought for it .
Unfortunately , the liberal mob set their sights on Brees for making these comments that never should have been seen as controversial in the first place , and he has since been forced to apologize multiple times for them .
Jackson just attacked Brees in a new interview with ABC6 in Philadelphia , saying that he does not accept his apology @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said “ sorry ” because the public was “ disagreeing ” with him .
“ I don ’ t accept his apology , ” Jackson said .
“ I think he ’ s only apologizing because of people coming for him , and people are disagreeing with him and he understands that his base in Louisiana , there ’ s a lot of black people .
Whatever happens , it must be nice to make $ 25 million a year and have that stance.
” The defensive tackle went on to say that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all respect for Brees .
Apparently , he can ’ t handle someone showing love for the country that has given all of us so much .
“ I lost a lot of respect for Drew Brees .
A great player , but very insensitive about the times and where he stands , ” Jackson said , later adding , “ My great granddaddy and dad fought in the war too , and they were getting spit on at the same time .
I understand where you ’ re coming from .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your mindset .
You ’ re still not understanding where we ’ re coming from after three years of trying to talk about this and get notoriety .
You ’ re still talking about kneeling for a flag .
A flag that has oppressed people.
” Jackson concluded his rant by ominously suggesting that he is excited to confront Brees when the Eagles play the Saints on December 13 .
“ Definitely excited playing them in the year , ” Jackson said .
“ I ’ m gon na have a lot to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get too wild with it .
I don ’ t understand how you can say that when you have people blocking for you that are black , when you have people catching the ball from you that are black , when you have people running the ball for you that are black.
” It should be noted that Brees never said anything about black people and only defended the American flag , but this fact doesn ’ t mean anything to Jackson and the other liberals who want his head on a platter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should have apologized to the liberal mob in the first place .
His rights to free speech are just as important as anyone ’ s .

It should be noted that Brees never said anything about black people and only defended the American flag, but this fact doesn’t mean anything to Jackson and the other liberals who want his head on a platter. This is exactly why Brees never should have apologized to the liberal mob in the first place. His rights to free speech are just as important as anyone’s.
