Al Hoffman Jr., a Florida-based real estate developer and top Republican political donor, said Saturday that he will stop making contributions to party members and organizations that do not support a ban on selling military-style assault weapons to civilians, The New York Times reported.
“For how many years now have we been doing this — having these experiences of terrorism, mass killings,” Hoffman told the Times. “It’s the end of the road for me.”
Hoffman sent his comments in an email sent to several prominent Republicans, including Jeb Bush and Gov. Rick Scott of Florida, who is considering running for the Senate in 2018, the Times reported. He wrote that he would not give money Scott and other Florida Republicans if they fail to support new gun control measures.
“I will not write another check unless they all support a ban on assault weapons,” he wrote. “Enough is enough!”
Hoffman, who was a leading donor for former PresidentGeorge W. Bush, said he will try to rally other Republican donors to support his effort.
He has donated millions to Republican candidates and causes over the years, The Times reported. That includes “more than $1 million to Right to Rise, a “super PAC” that supported Jeb Bush’s presidential campaign in 2016,” the report stated.
Hoffman told the Times he doesn’t think he can convince Republicans to consider an assault weapons ban because they are too supportive of the National Rifle Association.
Referring to the recent deadly school shooting in Florida, Hoffman wrote that he believes more massacres are likely to happen unless the government intervenes.
“If we go from Orlando to Las Vegas, and now Parkland, you just have to know that there are others around the country just dreaming about staging another mass murder,” he wrote in his email.
On Wednesday, 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, were killed during a mass shooting.
Since the shooting, key Republicans in Washington and Florida have not signaled an interest in new gun restrictions, the Times noted. Republicans control both the Florida and federal government and have opposed most new limitations on firearms.
A previous federal assault weapons ban was enacted in 1994 under a Democratic president and Congress, but lapsed in 2004 while Republicans had full control of Washington, the Times noted.
Hoffman has urged Republicans to support certain gun control measures in the past, but stopped short of making a threat about donations, the Times reported.
Despite Hoffman’s criticism of President Donald Trump, he has still continued to make significant donations to other Republicans, the Times reported.
Still, he doesn’t appear to be ready to give up.
“I’m going to email every single donor I know in the Republican Party and try to get them on board,” he said. “We’ve really got to start a little movement here.”

The 37-page indictment was a big fat nothingburger.
Rosenstein
not one American had knowledge they were interacting with Russians who were posing as Americans.
Furthermore, Rosenstein admitted the Russian operation did not impact the outcome of the 2016 Presidential election.
The Vice President of Facebook ads, Rob Goldman unleashed on his Twitter account after Mueller’s indictment hit the wire.
Goldman slammed the fake news media’s coverage of Russia.
Rob Goldman unleashed a tweetstorm Friday.
Very excited to see the Mueller indictment today. We shared Russian ads with Congress, Mueller and the American people to help the public understand how the Russians abused our system. Still, there are keys facts about the Russian actions that are still not well understood.
— Rob Goldman (@robjective) February 17, 2018
OUCH!
Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the 2016 US election. I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal.
— Rob Goldman (@robjective) February 17, 2018
Truth bomb! The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election and very few outlets covered it because it doesn’t align with the msm narrative of Trump and the election.

The main goal of the Russian propaganda and misinformation effort is to divide America by using our institutions, like free speech and social media, against us. It has stoked fear and hatred amongst Americans. It is working incredibly well. We are quite divided as a nation.

The single best demonstration of Russia’s true motives is the Houston anti-islamic protest. Americans were literally puppeted into the streets by trolls who organized both the sides of protest. https://t.co/9w1EAl28CH

The Russian campaign is ongoing. Just last week saw news that Russian spies attempted to sell a fake video of Trump with a hooker to the NSA. US officials cut off the deal because they were wary of being entangled in a Russian plot to create discord. https://t.co/jO9GwWy2qH

There are easy ways to fight this. Disinformation is ineffective against a well educated citizenry. Finland, Sweden and Holland have all taught digital literacy and critical thinking about misinformation to great effect. https://t.co/V0JNvW083W

We are also taking aggressive steps to prevent this sort of meddling in the future by requiring verification of political advertisers and by making all ads on the platform visible to anyone who cares to examine them. https://t.co/EPrubt7mqm

35-year-old Marcos Amaral Gourgel was a dual Angolan-Portuguese national first deported from Britain in 2014 after serving time for child sex offences, reports the Daily Mail, which cited Portuguese daily Correio da Manha.
“In 2014 he was deported to Portugal by the British authorities and assisted on his return,” the Ministry of Portuguese Communities Abroad confirmed to the Expresso newspaper.
“In 2016 we were made aware he had been deported again from the UK for being in the country illegally.”
It is not clear how the child molester was able to return to Britain and set up camp in a London underpass yards from the Houses of Parliament, through which MPs and staff pass every day, but he may have been assisted by the Free Movement immigration regime, which makes it difficult for British authorities to effectively vet EU migrants.
I’ve just been told about the death of a rough sleeper right by the entrance to Parliament. The powerful can’t carry on walking by on the other side while people don’t have a home to call their own. It’s time all MPs took up this moral challenge and properly housed everyone.
— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) February 14, 2018
Jeremy Corbyn, whose team claimed to know Gourgel, used his death to attack “the powerful”, declaring it was time “all MPs took up this moral challenge and properly housed everyone.”
Whether or not Mr Corbyn’s definition of “everyone” was intended to include illegal migrants child molesters is unclear, although he has issued no statements condemning the obvious failures in Britain’s border and immigration controls which allowed such a dangerous individual to infiltrate the country.
Turns out Mr. Corbyn’s tragic rough sleeper was an illegal migrant paedophile from Angola, able to set up shop yards from Parliament despite having been deported TWO TIMES already.
Sorry folks, but the real story here isn’t homelessness –it’s Britain’s broken immigration system. https://t.co/BZInsqIvBk
— Jack Montgomery ن (@JackBMontgomery) February 17, 2018
The 68-year-old socialist has had something of a difficult week, with the revelations about Gourgel following revelations about meetings he had with a Communist spy during the Cold War — who claimed Corbyn acted as a paid informant codenamed ‘Cob’.
Mr Corbyn is already known to have taken money from a television network backed by the Islamic fundamentalist Iranian regime, and to have been supportive of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) during its long terror campaign in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is ticked off, and for good reason.
He understands the gun control game leftists try to play every single time there’s a shooting event, and he’s sick and tired of it.
On Thursday, Carlson responded to calls for gun control following the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, and said what they really are: calls for people control.
“Let’s stop lying about this,” he said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“The calls we are hearing today for gun control have nothing to do with protecting Americans from violence. What you’re witnessing is a kind of class war,” Carlson continued.
TRENDING: Parents Enraged as Transgender Aims at Winning 2nd State Title
“The left hates rural America, red America, gun-owning America, the America that elected Donald Trump. They hate them. Progressives are still in charge of most of the major institutions in this country, and they despise the autonomy of an armed population.
“They want collective punishment for the sins of a few. They seek to obliterate a core constitutional right rather than trying to mitigate its downsides.”
And then he slammed his argument home.
“They call it gun control, but it’s not. It’s people control. For the left, voters who can’t be controlled, can’t be trusted.”
Watch the monologue below. The “people control” comments begin around the 4:00 minute mark.
Liberals might read or hear a rant like that and claim that Carlson is some sort of conspiracy theorist. To that, I offer this:
It is an undeniable fact that after every shooting, there are liberals calling for gun control. But they do more than that.
What they do is express their opinions, backed up by “facts” that are completely made up, and state that if you disagree with them you might as well not ever speak to them again because you hate children and aren’t a valid person.
That’s not an attempt at gun control. That’s an attempt at people control.
“This is the truth and if you disagree you aren’t worthy of being considered a person” is totalitarian speech. Totalitarians are, by necessity, all about people control.
Tucker Carlson’s words need to be spread everywhere we can because we are in the middle of a cultural war for our very survival and Carlson gets it.

In a move that is sure to astound liberals nationwide, the Alabama House of Representatives passed a bill to expand their “Stand Your Ground” law a mere day after the Florida school shooting this past week.
According to Breitbart, the move was made in the hopes of empowering church-goers to defend their lives while at their places of worship.
The recently-passed proposed revision of Alabama’s self-defense law states a person is “presumed justified in the use of force if they reasonably believe someone is about to seriously harm a church member,” according to The Seattle Times.
In other words, the bill would very specifically protect church members defending their religious communities.
The shooting at a Texas church last year taught us how big a target churches can be, and it showed the world that armed citizens can stop a threat if legislation will just get out of the way.
TRENDING: Parents Enraged as Transgender Aims at Winning 2nd State Title
“You got nuts everywhere just like you had in the high school in Florida yesterday. Occasionally, they show up in a church,” Representative Lynn Greer said according to The Seattle Times.
The bill passed by a large margin — 40-16, according to The Seattle Times.
Not everyone was happy about the bill’s introduction and passing, however.
Democrats reportedly attempted a filibuster against the bill, but didn’t even make it three full hours.
“(The bill is) pandering. It doesn’t accomplish anything,” complained Democrat Representative Chris England according to The Seattle Times.
He said he found it “amazing, interesting that on the day after a school shooting where 17 people were murdered… that in Alabama we are having a debate about trying to figure ways to introduce guns in churches.”
It should be amazing. Empowering citizens is always amazing, although I sincerely doubt this bill would “introduce” guns to churches.
I gotta say, even for a state as red as Alabama, this is a pretty bold move to make in the midst of the current political landscape.
We couldn’t be happier.
Somewhere in these United States there is a group of people that acknowledge that the more legislation is passed to back Mr. and Mrs. Responsibly-Armed Citizen, the safer We the People are.
To the Alabama House of Representatives — my hat is off to you today.

What in the hell is going on at the FBI.
Yesterday, we talked about how the FBI received a tip regarding a YouTube post supposedly made by Parkland Florida shooter Nikolas Cruz back in September. In it he claimed he wanted to become a “professional school shooter.” The FBI, allegedly, made cursory inquiries into the matter and then dropped it.

A Florida sheriff has devised a plan to arm teachers and end gun-free school zones – and he wants the program implemented nationwide.
“There has to be a line-of-defense. It’s not something we want to do — it’s something we have to do,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told “Fox and Friends” on Saturday.
Dubbed the “Sentinel Program,” Judd explained that his department has devised and already implemented a plan that would become a “game-changer” if it was implemented on school campuses nationwide.
The plan is simple: Arm teachers with concealed weapons and train them to effectively defend students should the need ever arise. The program has already been put into action at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, which is in Judd’s jurisdiction.
Judd explained that the process to choose which teachers to arm is extremely vigorous. He told the “Fox and Friends” hosts he only selects teachers with impeccable, crime-free backgrounds. Then, the teachers undergo rigorous training that includes meeting standards beyond those that Florida law enforcement must maintain. In addition, each selected teacher undergoes intense psychological evaluation.
Only after the teachers successfully complete the training are they honored as “special deputy sheriffs” and allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus.
If a program like his was in-place on Wednesday at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Judd said he believes “everything could have been different.”
“There’s no absolutes in life, but I can tell you this: At least two coaches were killed standing in front of and trying to protect kids. Don’t you believe it would be a game-changer if they had a gun to defend the children?” Judd said, adding:
Here’s the basic math: The average shooter his evil deed in two to five minutes…in fact in Broward County [where the shooting happened], it was three minutes. The average police response is plus five minutes. When 911 is called, the shooter is on the campus reeking havoc — that’s too late. We have got to wake up! Wake up and understand that we have to have more than one, that we have to have specially trained people that have concealed firearms that can run to the threat and protect our children.
Currently, the program has only been implemented in Polk County, Florida, but Judd explained he has presented it to the Florida legislature and Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) and has urged them to take action.
Judd told the Fox hosts that he spoke with Scott on Friday about the plan, who vowed to take action, though Judd didn’t elaborate on the conversation. However, he stressed South Florida legislators would be a roadblock to a plan like his from being implemented.

The intimation is that rifles for hunting are protected by the Second Amendment, while rifles without a hunting purpose are open to heavy regulation and/or prohibition.
He made this clear during a February 15 appearance on Fox & Friends, wherein he described ARs as “automatic military assault rifles” that were federally banned from 1994 to 2004.
The Tampa Bay Times transcribed Nelson’s Fox & Friends appearance:
This is a mental health problem and we’ve got to face the fact that this is an automatic military assault weapon. I want you to know I grew up on a ranch. I have grown up with guns. I have hunted all my life. I hunt with my son still. An AR-15 is not for hunting, it’s for killing. And the question is, should this be a legal weapon in our society? Just think, all of these children are our children and if we were the parents of one of those children, if we thought that it was not easy to get an assault weapon, we might be thinking that one less child was dead. The fact is we can’t make our schools armed camps. I mean, that’s just not practical and it’s not reflective of our open society.
On February 16 NBC News tweeted a short statement from Nelson wherein he claimed to support the Second Amendment, “the right to bear arms,” and went on to praise hunting rifles while describing the AR-15 as a genre of firearms designed solely for “killing”:
Sen. Nelson: “I have always had guns, since I was a little boy. I have hunted all my life… But an AR-15 is not for hunting, it’s for killing.” pic.twitter.com/vrM4Ftw233
— NBC News (@NBCNews) February 16, 2018
On January 20, 2017, the Washington Post published a “White Paper” from ATF Associate Deputy Director Ronald Turk. In it, Turk suggested the ATF studies on AR-15s and similar rifles should be re-evaluated because the rifles have become so popular for hunting and sport:
Since the sunset of the Assault Weapons ban in 2004, the use of AR-15s, AK-style, and similar rifles now commonly referred to as “modern sporting rifles” has increased exponentially in sport shooting. These firearm types are now standard for hunting activities. ATF could re-examine its 20-year-old study to bring it up to date with the sport shooting landscape of today, which is vastly different that it was years ago.
Translation: AR-15s are extremely popular hunting rifles. But even if they were not, it would important to remember that the Second Amendment was put in place to protect firearms in “common use” throughout every generation of Americans.

In 2005, American scientists deliberately sent a rocket to collide with a comet. After the collision, scientists were able to conduct a detailed analysis of the internal composition of the comet from the spectrum of debris ejected from the crater. It was a considerable achievement. But my friend working for NASA commented on this event differently: “You have no idea how many doctoral dissertations were thrown in the toilet yesterday.”
We have no idea how many heart attacks occurred in Washington yesterday due to Special Counsel Mueller’s indictment. And how many political careers will be thrown into the toilet today.
The creatures of the Washington swamp for the past year have invested almost all of their political capital in fanning the story of Trump’s criminal conspiracy with Vladimir Putin. They were helped by the echo chamber of well fed courtier journalists and the higher-ups of the American intelligence agencies. They secured the appointment of a special prosecutor, Mueller, to hold Trump accountable.
In other words, Mueller’s investigation was the rocket that was to kick Trump out of the White House.
The rocket’s blow was stunning – Mueller’s investigation fully vindicated Trump. But Russian internet trolls were selected as the scapegoats.
In fairness, it should be noted that there is still a dose of reality in the indictment published by the Department of Justice on Friday. Some of the thirteen Russians who obtained a tourist visa to the United States provided false information about their employment and the purpose of their visit. If this allegation is proven in court, they will be banned from entering the U.S. forever.
However, they lied not only to the American government. They also lied to the Russian government when they promised to influence the formation of public opinion in America. The budget of the disinformation activities of the Russian intelligence is merely ludicrous – several million dollars. For comparison, to seriously affect the election of just one congressman in an uncharted rural district in New Jersey, you need to spend five to ten times more.
Also, Russian internet trolls illegally used the stolen Social Security numbers and the dates of birth of real American citizens to open bank accounts and PayPal accounts and organize political rallies in the United States (both pro and contra Trump). Illegal banking operations are a federal crime.
That’s all, folks. Neither Trump nor his staff, as expected, is tarnished. On the election results, the activity of the trolls did not affect much of anything (and how could they affect with the laughable penetration of the entire U.S. political advertising market to the tune of 0.001%?).
The missile, launched by the Obama’s Deep State, fell into the Trump White House but did not penetrate.
The criminal consequences for thirteen Russian scapegoats are more or less understandable (although few in America are interested). But politically, the implications for those American politicians who not only became anti-Trumpists, but also burned all the political bridges behind them will be severe. The political opposition is legal in America, but the delegitimization of the legally elected president is not.
Mueller finishes his investigation victoriously, although not at all as he intended. After all, the State Department issued a visa to these Russians under the leadership of Obama. And the FBI under the direction of Obama did not move a finger in this matter, although the organized activity of Russians on the English-speaking internet was known since 2015.
What will Obama’s Deep State do if Israel and the United Kingdom officially file charges against one of Obama’s lieutenants, Jim Messina, for precisely the same interference (and with the same result) in the democratic elections as what the Russians did?
In term of prognosis, it looks as though the word “impeachment” will disappear from the lexicon of the inhabitants of the Washington swamp from now on. And all of a sudden, they will be able to see through Christopher Steele’s “Russian dossier” on Trump. As if nothing had happened, they will begin to speak as a matter of course of the “active measures” disinformation campaign of the KGB or FSB. Nothing sensational – the Russians have been doing this in the West since the mid-1930s.
They have had some successes over the years. But not at this time.
