Brenda Snipes Takes Back Resignation as Broward’s Elections Chief


Disgraced Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes took back her decision to resign as the county’s elections chief on Saturday after Gov. Rick Scott suspended from her duties.

Snipes’ attorney announced at a Saturday press conference that her client would be rescinding her decision to resign from the post in January and vowed she would be “fighting this to the very end.”

“We believe these actions are malicious,” said Snipes’ attorney, Burnadette Norris-Weeks, telling Broward County voters that Scott’s appointment to the post could affect the predominantly Democratic county in the 2020 elections.

Scott suspended Snipes via executive order on Friday, appointing his former general counsel, Peter Antonacci, to the post to serve out the rest of her term. Antonacci would serve until November 2020, when voters will choose Snipes’ replacement.

State law requires the Florida Senate to vote on removing or reinstating county officials if the governor decides to suspend them.

The outgoing Florida Republican governor cited her “misfeasance, incompetence, and neglect of duty” during the recount for the 2018 U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races.

The 75-year-old Broward County elections supervisor initially resigned from her position after her office came under fire for botching the vote count in the November 6 elections, specifically the recount of a tight Senate race between Scott, a Republican, and incumbent Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL).

Broward County failed to meet the state’s deadline for turning in recount results in the midterms, misplaced thousands of ballots, and opened 205 provisional ballots before they were determined to be valid or invalid.

The disgraced elections supervisor also had a history of illegally destroying voter ballots in a 2016 Democratic primary for a congressional race between Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) and Democratic challenger Tim Canova and had been accused of not removing dead voters from voter rolls.

Macron on the Brink: Water Cannon, Tear Gas, and Stun Grenades as ‘Yellow Jackets’ Storm Security Cordons


Riot police have deployed water cannon, tear gas, and stun grenades against protesters on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France, as the “Yellow Jackets” stage their third major rally against President Emmanuel Macron’s “green” tax hikes on fuel.

The clashes on the famous avenue leading the Napoleon Bonaparte’s iconic Arc de Triomphe come as Macron himself is in Argentina for the G20, threatening to disrupt a planned trade deal between the European Union and South America’s Mercosur over a disagreement with Brazil’s new president Jair Bolsonaro — dubbed the “Trump of the Tropics” — over a disagreement on climate change.

The globalist poster boy’s green policies are running into substantial opposition at home, however, with the “Yellow Jackets” movement which has united the anti-establishment left with the populist right in a loose coalition in defence of the French working class bringing the presidency of the man who once boasted he would govern “like Jupiter” to the brink.

Over 80 people have already been arrested over Saturday morning, according to Sky News, with the authorities complaining of around 1,500 “agitators” among the protesters.

“There’s a lot of incitement on social media and we are expecting excess and violence,” remarked David Michaux, of the UNSA Police union.

Tijuana Mayor Calls for Arrest of Caravan Organizers – “It’s a Federal Crime” (VIDEO)

Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum called for the arrest of the organizers of the Central American illegal migrant caravans.

Mayor Gastelum sat down with Griff Jenkins from FOX News to discuss the ongoing crisis on Friday.

Illegal migrant organizers forced women and children to the front of the protest last weekend and then started hurling rocks at US border agents.

The Conservative Tribune reported:

Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins sat down with Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum to discuss the caravan currently camping out in his city.

Gastelum told Fox News that the federal police should arrest the organizers of the caravan for “putting people at risk.”

“Let’s take care of them in a legal way,” Gastelum added.

It’s not surprising that Gastelum is growing impatient with the caravan. There is an estimated over 6,000 migrants settled in his city, and they are beginning to cause problems.

“We’ve have never, never, never, never had this problem,” Gastelum said. “Some of these people are coming in violently, disrespectfully, not as a good, law-abiding citizen. And that’s what’s hurt us.”

Gastelum said the migrants are also significantly hurting Tijuana economically, according to Fox News.

Sarah Palin Endures Disgusting Treatment After Her House Is Damaged in Huge Earthquake

Alaska was hit with a major earthquake Friday morning measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale. According to Fox News, there were no reports of deaths or serious injuries, but there was some pretty serious damage — particularly given that it struck close to Alaska’s biggest city, Anchorage.

“The impact is very real, the impact is very hard, and it will require apparently a great deal of recovery and effort,” Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski said.

“There are homes without power. There is some concern that you may have gas line breaks that could lead to potential further disasters.”

Among those whose homes were affected by the earthquake was former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

So of course people wished her well and hoped things — oh wait, no, of course they didn’t. This is social media and liberal Twitter is horrible. RedState collected some of the better (and by that I mean worse) responses:

Yes, because there’s clearly nothing trashy about wishing ill upon the family of a political figure you don’t like.

But, hey, it made theists of some:

Oh, and then there were the jokes about Palin’s troubled son, Track:

And there were standard-issue awful people:

Two responses really stuck out for me, however:

So what does this have to do with drilling? Well, who knows? Maybe drilling caused the earth’s plates to shift or something.

You know what else can do that? Climate change, apparently:

It would be funny if the situation weren’t so serious.

Bush 41’s death reveals the truth of the cliché: the only kind of Republicans the media like is dead ones


Today we will hear most of the media talk about George H.W. Bush in a flattering manner, as they should.  They also acted as if they loved Reagan and McCain when they died – even as they sought to destroy them when they ran for office. 


The playbook is always the same.  Democrats, including most of the media, pretend they love Republicans when they die after they trashed them when they ran and lived.



Here are a few headlines from the Washington Post today. 


Today’s Opinions: Goodbye, George H.W. Bush. The world will miss a great president — and I will miss a friend.


The extraordinary life and times of George H.W. Bush  


George H.W. Bush’s prudence was a laugh line. It was also his strength.


The love for the newly departed Republican president was not strong enough to require elementary editorial diligence , however:



In 2016, CNN wasn’t so nice.  The network ran a story called “Dirty Campaigning: He Perfected It” about George H.W. Bush.


The early 1980s were similar to today.  A garbage story was put out that George H.W. Bush went to Paris to arrange the release of the Iranian hostages.  There was never any actual evidence that this meeting took place.  It was always pure fiction, but the Democrats investigated it. 



For the last two years, there has been a garbage story that Trump colluded with the Russians based mostly on a fictional dossier bought and paid for by Hillary and the DNC.  There are endless investigations, and most of the media still report the story continuously as if it were true.  The New York Times reveals the same kind of nonsense plagued President Bush 41:


Panel Rejects Theory Bush Met With Iranians in Paris in ’80


A House investigative panel concluded today that George Bush did not travel to Paris in 1980 to take part in any discussions aimed at asking Iran to delay the release of American hostages.


The notion that Mr. Bush, then the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee, might have made such a trip in an effort to damage President Jimmy Carter’s prospects in the November election that year has been part of a persistent but unproved broader theory that has long swirled around Washington.

Harvard Grad Student Facing Eviction over Legally Owned and Stored Firearms


Harvard graduate student Leyla Pirnie was asked to move out of her apartment after her roommates discovered she possessed legally owned firearms.

The Washington Free Beacon reports that Pirnie’s roommates allegedly rummaged through her belongings while she was away from the apartment, discovered her guns, and emailed the landlord to complain. One of the roommates told the landlord: “We discussed with Leyla that all of us are uncomfortable with having firearms in the house, and that their presence causes anxiety and deprives us of the quiet enjoyment of the premise to which we are entitled.”

The landlord, Avid Management’s Dave Lewis, then emailed the apartment residents, including Pirnie, to say he had checked with local police, who verified the guns were “being safely and legally stored under lock and key.” Despite Pirnie’s compliance with the law, Lewis then cited the roommates’ discomfort with firearms as grounds for Pirnie to move out of the apartment.

He wrote: “Since it’s clear that Leyla wants to keep her firearms, it would be best for all parties if she finds another place to live.”

Shanetta Yvette Wilson, 37, pulled a knife and threatened fellow customer, John Walker, for being offended by her flatulence while the two stood in line at a Dollar General store in Dania Beach.
Wilson was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill. Her bail was set at $2,500.

Pair of crooks figure ‘nobody’s home’ and break through front door. It’s a deadly miscalculation.

Michael Richardson was asleep in bed Monday morning when the 25-year-old heard two men talking outside his residence in Moss Point, Mississippi, WJTV-TV reported.
Richardson told police that he heard one of the men telling the other that “nobody’s home" — and then the two burst through his front door, the station said.
With that Richardson grabbed his gun and opened fire, killing Titus Kelly Jr., 18, who was pronounced dead at the scene, WJTV reported.


The second man — 19-year-old Antonio Jackson — fled the scene, the station said, adding that police soon learned Jackson had been taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds to his chest and was in "serious condition" and flown to an Alabama hospital.
Police told WLOX-TV they have the gray 2011 Toyota Camry used to transport Jackson to the hospital and have spoken to its owner — but they’re still trying to determine who drove the vehicle and are asking for the public’s help in finding that individual.

What’s the latest with the resident who fired the gun?

No charges have been filed against Richardson, Moss Point’s police chief told WJTV.
Richardson offered a message to loved ones of Kelly and Jackson in a social media post, WJTV reported: “Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that I feel for the passing of your son, friend, cousin," he wrote, according to the station. "My condolences goes [sic] out to the entire family of both young men.”

DESPICABLE: Parents forcing young children to be transgender/drag queens

On Friday’s episode of "Pat Gray Unleashed," Pat spotlighted two stories involving parents who encouraged their young children to either identify or dress like the opposite gender from which they were born — and one parent has even involved the legal system.
Desmond Napoles, 11, known onstage as "Desmond is Amazing," joined host Michael Strahan on ABC’s "Good Morning America" to share his story.
Napoles, 11, was introduced as "A trailblazing drag kid who Ru Paul is calling the future in bravery and inspiring so many."
Desmond described himself as an 11-year-old who likes pizza, trains and drinking caffeine-free Root Beer. When he is not playing with trains, he “does drag” and loves to wear makeup, dresses, wigs – and, of course, he loves jewelry.

What about Desmond’s parents?

"Your parents are so supportive of you, but they’ve also encouraged you to stay and be who you are so how has that inspired you," Strahan asked?
"They let me do what I want by letting me dress up and by letting me play with trains," Desmond replied.
Pat asserted that it is not the job of parents to let children do whatever they want. Parents are supposed to guide and shape children. He added that 10 years ago, the behavior of Desmond’s parents would have been considered child abuse.

What about the Texas case?

A Texas father is fighting in court over accusations made in court by his ex-wife in an effort to strip the man of his parental rights. The woman claims that James, 6, is actually a girl born in a boy’s body, and is being abused by his father’s refusal to dress him in girls’ clothing.
The man has been ordered by the court not to discuss sex or gender from a scientific or a religious perspective with his son.
The father told the court that James does not want to wear girls clothing when he is with his father, adding that James violently refuses to dress like a girl.
The woman has enrolled the child in school under the name "Luna."
Pat called the woman despicable.

‘America is trash’: USC students are asked if they love or hate America. Their answers are scary.

Slightly Offens*ve’s Elijah Schaffer headed to the University of Southern California campus to ask students if they love or hate the United States of America.
Here are some of their reactions:

  • "America is trash and I look forward to the day it burns down."
  • "It can be great. Right now it’s meh."
  • "Mother f***ers over here is full of s***."

When Schaffer asked who the "mfs" in the last statement were, the student answered without hesitation: "Donald Trump and his people. They full of s**t."
In contrast, one female student answered that "Trump" makes this country great. She added, "People get angry when I speak out, but liberal people can speak out and they’re fine. It’s interesting."
Asked what defines being an American, another student answered, "Not freedom." She went on to define Americans as "Yee haw."
"All those red states, uh, Republican, conservative, we’re trying to outvote them but it’s not really happening — until they die off," she added.
