Left Smothers Kate Steinle Verdict with Progressive Narratives

Progressives reacted to the shocking Kate Steinle verdict by claiming that the law has proven the killing was an accident, and by touting gun control, and by downplaying the killer’s identity as an illegal immigrant who hid in a sanctuary city after being deported five times.

The jury declared Zarate not guilty of the first-degree murder of Steinle, so the killing must be an accident, tweeted progressives.

Progressives argued that Republicans were “scapegoating immigrants,” even though Zarate did kill Steinle, was not a legal immigrant, but was an illegal immigrant who sneaked back into the country five times to hide under San Francisco’s “sanctuary city” policies.

Major progressive news outlets played up the progressive themes, and also relabelled the killer as a normal “Mexican man” or an “undocumented immigrant,” just not a five-deportation, city-protected, illegal alien.

Democrats also tried to shift the focus to their campaign to control private ownership of guns.

Report: Trump to Recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital In Wednesday Speech

Report: Trump to Recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital In Wednesday Speech



The Times of Israel reports: WASHINGTON — Defying longstanding American policy, US President Donald Trump will give a speech Wednesday recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, according to an Axios report on Friday.

A White House spokesman, contacted by The Times of Israel on Friday afternoon, would not confirm the story. “The president has always said it is a matter of when, not if,” the official said. “The president is still considering options and we have nothing to announce.”

The Axios report cited two sources with direct knowledge of Trump’s intentions.

Trump Accused Of Racism For Replacing A Toilet Seat In The White House

The big news out of Washington is that Donald Trump is racist because he had a toilet seat in the Oval Office replaced. I’m serious. This is a general concern for leftists as well as the fake news industry. In a bombshell report, NBC has broken the lid off of “Tolietgate.” You see, Trump is so racist that he refused to sit on the same crapper that Barack Obama once used. Has anyone drawn up articles of impeachment yet?

Because NBC Washington specializes in both real and important news they got a hold of White House maintenance records and exposed this scandal:

Some of the projects appear large in scope. Some appear quite small. The work orders show a request to replace the toilet seat in the Oval Office in late January, and specifies the project be completed “after hours please.”

Boy, they sure make that sound sinister, don’t they? Trump had a toilet seat replaced and he wanted it done on the down low so nobody would know what he’s up to. NBC isn’t the only one who found this to be problematic. Twitter users were quick to point out the blatant racism of it all:

And many saw a parallel between this and the book/movie The Help:

I have several alternative theories: 1) The toilet seat was broken and needed to be replaced. 2) Someone other than Trump, like say the house keeping staff, ordered the toilet seat replaced because it was broken. 3) The toilet seat was replaced as part of regularly scheduled maintainence. 4) Knowing that Michelle Obama’s giant nut sack once jiggled around on that thing, Trump had it replaced, but not because of racism.

Sadly, this is by far the best proof yet that President Trump is racist, which is to say there is no compelling evidence of his racism. Another sad fact is that this is what passes for news in the Age of Trump. How many stories do you recall about the Obama’s changing fixtures in the White House?

Confirmed: Trump’s driven the media into the toilet

**Written by Doug Powers

The list of impeachable offenses the media keeps digging up grows by the day:

BREAKING: The White House, not unlike everybody else’s house, needs things repaired and replaced once in a while:

White House officials submitted hundreds of requests in 2017 for repairs, equipment and pest control to building administrators with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), which helps manage maintenance needs in the West Wing and East Wing of the White House.

Maintenance workers were asked over the past two years to respond to reports of mice infiltrating the White House Navy mess food service area and the White House Situation Room. There were also at least four reported cockroach infestations on the grounds and a complaint of ants in the White House chief of staff’s office.

Some of the projects appear large in scope. Some appear quite small. The work orders show a request to replace the toilet seat in the Oval Office in late January, and specifies the project be completed “after hours please.”

And of course the conclusion from The Resistance is that a change in toilet seats in January of 2017 is the clearest evidence of racism in the White House.

NBC’s “scoop” requires a double flush.

House Passed Kate’s Law and No Sanctuary for Criminals Act in June, but Both Bills Languish in Senate

Kate’s Law and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act continue to languish in the Senate in the wake of a California court’s verdict of “not guilty” for Kate Steinle’s illegal immigrant killer. Both bills passed through the House of Representatives in June.

The House passed two immigration reform bills in June, Kate’s Law and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act, which marked two of the country’s first steps towards a pro-American immigration policy despite widespread Democrat opposition.

Kate’s Law was named after Kate Steinle, a San Francisco woman murdered by five-time deportee and seven-time felon illegal alien Jose Garcia Zarate, also known as Juan Francisco López-Sánchez.

A jury found Zarate not guilty Thursday evening in the case of the 2015 murder of Kate Steinle.

President Donald Trump called this ruling a “disgraceful verdict.” Angel families called the verdict a “huge slap” in the face.

Kate’s Law increases penalties for illegal immigrants who repeatedly re-enter the country illegally. Trump applauded the bill’s passage through the House, saying, “Every year, countless Americans are victimized, assaulted, and killed by illegal immigrants who have been deported multiple times. It is time for these tragedies to end.”

The House also passed the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act in June, which restricts taxpayer grant money to cities that prevent their police from turning over dangerous criminal aliens to federal authorities.

Trump noted in June, “The House bill also includes what is known as Grant’s Law and Sarah’s Law. These provisions, which prevent the release of dangerous criminals awaiting removal proceedings, are named for two slain Americans whose parents I spent time with during the campaign.”

President Trump in June also called on the Senate to pass Kate’s Law as well as the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act:

Frustrated with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for holding up more than 300 House-passed bills, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) chastised McConnell and called on the Senate to drop the legislative filibuster to pass President Trump’s agenda.

King spoke about the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act. “We had a tragedy in San Francisco with the murder of Kate Steinle. She was murdered by an illegal immigrant who was deported five times,” he said. “But he kept coming back to San Francisco because he knew it was a sanctuary city. Kate Steinle now rests in her grave, and America feels her pain.”

“If we got rid of the Senate filibuster, we would see more action on this bill,” King declared.

CNN Pushes Hard Left, Soros-Funded ‘Hope Not Hate’ Alarmism After Trump UK Tweet

CNN Pushes Hard Left, Soros-Funded ‘Hope Not Hate’ Alarmism After Trump UK Tweet



The hard-left group Hope Not Hate (HNH) was invited to speak on CNN, and on the BBC four times in just one day, where their activist sensationally claimed President Donald J. Trump’s retweets could cause social unrest in the UK.

The U.S. president shared footage purporting to show Islamic extremist attacks to warn of the danger of radical Islam, but due to the highly controversial source of the tweets, they have been used by the left wing media to claim “far right” extremism is the real danger.

On Thursday, CNN presenter Christiane Amanpour suggested to HNH researcher Joe Mulhall on air that the president’s retweets could “rip the fabric of British society… dangerously apart.”

Responding, he claimed that Mr. Trump’s retweets “could not have come at a worse time” as views in the UK are polarising and “something like [the president’s retweets] is only going to serve to make things much, much worse”.

“We’re just going to have hope this doesn’t have repercussions in communities and out on the group here in the UK,” Mr. Mulhall added.

CNN continued their assault on the president the following day, giving a platform to MPs who want to ban him from having a state visit to the UK. Other MPs have called for the president to be arrested and investigated by the FBI.

HNH describe themselves as an “anti-racist” group, but grew out of the Communist-linked Searchlight magazine, and have used considerable resources to attack mainstream right-wing parties like UKIP over several years.

The organisation was described as “Orwellian bigots” by leading Muslim reformer Dr. Zuhdi Jasser after they labelled liberal Muslims “Islamophobic”, exposing them to jihadist reprisal. They were also revealed by the Economist as having grossly exaggerated statistics in a report to further their agenda.

One of their most senior activists has even described their work as intentionally “dirty, underhand[ed], low down, unscrupulous”.

Despite this, they threatened to sue former UKIP leader Nigel Farage when he linked their tactics with extremism. He later said they were not violent, but HNH were forced to pay his court fees and received no apology.

Cop in court shows K-Y Jelly tube to man going to jail for shooting him: ‘Gonna need a lot of this’

The Jacksonville police officer apparently couldn’t just let the moment just slide by.

So the officer — addressing the man convicted of shooting him multiple times during a 2016 traffic stop at his sentencing Wednesday — told Kevin Rojas what he could expect in prison.

“I got a little gift for you,” the officer told Rojas before pulling out a tube of K-Y Jelly, the Florida Times-Union reported. “You’re gonna need a lot of this where you’re going little man.”

Rojas — who appeared smug in court, the paper said — was sentenced to life behind bars.

More from the Times-Union:

In March 2016, Rojas had fought with his girlfriend when he grabbed a gun, fired it a few times and suggested the day may be his last one, police said. He then took off in a car and began driving erratically.

That’s when the undercover officer who was taking his child to school decided to pull Rojas over on Collins Road near Roosevelt Boulevard, police said. When the officer took his eyes off Rojas momentarily, the 19-year-old began shooting through the windshield of the officer’s car. Three bullets hit the officer, including in the face. His son was not struck.

The officer fired back as Rojas ran away. He then stole a truck and raced back to his neighborhood, barricading himself inside his home after crashing the truck at a neighbor’s house. Rojas was shot after police officers said they saw him through the sliding-glass door pointing a gun at them. Rojas was shot in the torso, leg and hand.

“I will take those bullets instead of a fellow officer and an innocent bystander,” the officer — not named by the Times-Union because of his undercover work — said during the hearing.

He finished by adding to Rojas: “When I returned fire, and I brought the fight back, you started to run like a coward. That’s all you did is run like a coward.” Then the officer taunted Rojas with the tube of personal lubricant.

Rojas, now 21, was found guilty by a jury in October on charges of attempted first-degree murder, attempted manslaughter, two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, grand theft auto and fleeing, the paper said.

Image source: YouTube screenshot

He was sentenced to the maximum prison sentence for each of the crimes: life plus three 15-year sentences and two five-year sentences for the lesser charges, the Times-Union reported.

The paper added that Circuit Judge James Daniel noted as he handed down the sentencing, “I’m pretty sure Mr. Rojas doesn’t understand what ‘the rest of his life’ means.”

Kate Steinle and the globalists

While most decent Americans are lamenting the fact that our court system failed Kate Steinle and her family, I can’t help but think of people like George Soros and organizations like the Center for American Progress.  How large is our fight, and how determined are our foes!


It may seem like a far-fetched connection, but it’s not.  Kate Steinle’s death and the ensuing nauseating injustice of her trial verdict are part of a much larger picture: the globalist push for open borders and mass immigration bent on destabilizing the West.  Soros is using his money and influence to make sure that destabilization happens, which will only ensure more Kate Steinles.



Kate Steinle saw no unusual behavior and heard nothing odd before she was murdered.  She was just walking leisurely on a pier with her father, a fatal walk that would end with “Help me, Dad.”  She had no idea that her imminent murder would spark a debate that wouldn’t even have been possible twenty years ago.  Twenty years ago, George Soros and Interfaith organized progressives (private or institutionalized, like the Catholic Church) hadn’t yet spent millions of dollars conditioning Americans (and the E.U.) to tear down their international borders and private boundaries – this as a prerequisite to accepting any and all immigrants.  Twenty years ago, progressives wouldn’t have posthumously mocked Steinle as “Beautiful Kate,” as they did in Slate.com – even to make a point.  While Slate claimed that Trump was exploiting Steinle, those at Slate themselves called her murder “the most convenient of tragedies.”


Slate went on to explain:


Steinle’s death … gave Trump an opening to stoke the fears of primary voters.  If “beautiful Kate in San Francisco” – a young, innocent white woman – could be murdered in cold blood by a Mexican “animal,” so could any young, innocent white woman in any town in the United States.


(It’s still disgusting to me that so many progressive outlets disapproved of calling a cold-blooded killer an “animal.”)


Slate then made the case that Steinle’s murder was Trump’s ace in the hole.  They quoted David Frum in the Atlantic saying, “Something happened in July to send Trump’s numbers soaring…that something may have been the murder of Kathryn Steinle.”


While Slate was busy resenting that “beautiful Kate” had been murdered at such a convenient time as to help Trump’s poll numbers, Matthew Vadum at Frontpagemag.com was penning the more accurate observation:


Left-wingers in San Francisco should be hanging their heads in shame after their borderline seditious, destructive immigration policies allowed an illegal alien felon to murder a young woman randomly in broad daylight.


How much more shall we say now?  Now – when defense attorney Matt Gonzalez decided to immediately thumb his nose at the U.S. attorney general, the vice president, and President Trump – by telling them:


Let me just remind them: they are themselves under investigation by a special prosecutor in Washington D.C. and they may soon avail themselves of the presumption of innocence beyond a reasonable doubt, so I ask that they reflect on that before they comment or disparage the results of this case.


From Gonzalez’s characterization, it seems to me that the Steinle verdict was payback for a Trump presidency, and setting a murderer free for political payback is such an egregious act that it’s nearly inconceivable.  But Kate Steinle is just one person, and the truth is that so many people – in so many countries – are in danger of similar payback for not submitting to globalists forcing mass immigration upon them.


Jack Montgomery at Breitbart is documenting how Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán is fighting George Soros’s Open Society Foundations’ plan to “flood the continent with an unlimited number of third-world migrants.”  Orbán “has warned that the elites plotting a United States of Europe are using mass migration to engineer a post-Christian, post-national super-state.” 


Just this past October, Hungary detained a Pakistani wanted in his home country for murdering about 70 people.  This came after a tip from Austria…but how many more murderers, rapists and those bent on harm have already entered Europe and yes, the United States?  How many more are to come?


The verdict on the murder of Kate Steinle did not happen in a vacuum.  There is a globalist push for Western destruction of what Hungary’s Orbán calls “conservative values centered on country, family, and tradition.”  Hungary is holding firm in their stance against forced acceptance of unchecked migrants, and the Hungarians must have George Soros rattled, because he issued a rare rebuttal of Hungary’s policies just days ago.


The immigration war still rages across Europe and America, and only time will tell if Hungary will succeed in leading the resistance on that front.


Right now, the U.S. is heavy laden with a populace that are themselves aliens.  We are fighting an uphill battle.  President Trump said it best on the campaign trail:


American cities should be sanctuaries for law-abiding Americans, for people that look up to the law, for people that respect the law, not for criminals and gang members that we want the hell out of our country.


For now, all we can say is, “We tried, Kate.”  Yet we must also add that such a miscarriage of justice has only sharpened our seething teeth against Soros organizations and progressives across this country who are willing to legalize murder in some deluded effort to promote social justice, peace, and harmony.

Brown University To Allow Students To “Self-Identify” As A Person Of Color…

Rachel Dolezal noids in approval.

Via College Fix:

Brown University is implementing a change to its graduate school application that will allow applicants to “self-identify” as persons of color. Multiple efforts by The College Fix to clarify the details of this change were ignored by campus officials.

The policy comes as a result of complaints made by graduate students on the Graduate School advisory board that international and Asian American students are not treated as members of historically underrepresented groups by the university, according to The Brown Daily Herald.

One graduate student, Lydia Kelow-Bennett, told The Herald that this decision has led to “institutional invisibility” for these students. Brown defines historically underrepresented groups as “American Indian, Alaskan Native, African American, Hispanic or Latinx and Native Hawaiian and/or Pacific Islander.” The school’s diversity initiatives are intended to benefit members of these groups.

Brown’s criteria for historical underrepresentation “caused some students to not receive invitations to certain events, such as a multicultural student dinner,” The Herald reported.

Twitter Users Unleash #BoycottSanFrancisco As Payback For Kate Steinle Verdict

Via Washington Examiner:

Thousands of Twitter users on Friday were urging people to #BoycottSanFrancisco after a jury there decided Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, a five-time deported Mexican man charged with shooting and killing Kate Steinle, was not guilty.

The Boycott San Francisco hashtag began trending on Twitter Friday morning as people vowed not to travel there or buy goods or services produced in the city.

San Francisco is a sanctuary city, which means local law enforcement ignores federal laws that would otherwise mandate cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, on issues such as telling federal authorities when illegal immigrants are being held.

The city’s sanctuary policy came under scrutiny during the trial because it allowed Zarate to be released from jail without federal agents learning of his release, which left them unable to detain him so he could be deported for a sixth time for illegally entering the U.S.
