Liberal Lucas Analyzes 60 Teen Walgreens Incident

Conundrum!

Conundrum.....

"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one. You'll probably never need one again."

The definition of the word Conundrum is: Something that is puzzling or confusing.

Here are six Conundrums of Socialism in the United States of America:

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.
2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.
4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other Countries only dream about.
6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about, yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
7. Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century. 

Makes you wonder who is doing the math. By the way.....

1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering...
2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.

Think about it... and pass it on.

Ocasio-Cortez Tries To Grill Former ICE Director. He Wrecks Her.

Former ICE Director Thomas Homan rendered socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez utterly speechless on Friday during a congressional hearing after the 29-year-old former bartender tried to grill him about immigration-related policies.

"It says the official recommendation, there were three different options presented, the third included the option for family separation," Ocasio-Cortez said. "This initiative would pursue prosecution of all amenable adults including those presenting with a family unit.

"Mr. Homan, your name is on this, is this correct?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.

"Yes, I signed that memo," Homan replied.

Carjacker beaten to death after stealing vehicle with small kids inside, police say

PHILADELPHIA — A man was killed after he stole a car that had three young children inside, CBS affiliate KYW reports.

The carjacking happened Thursday night outside a north Philadelphia pizza shop after the 25-year-old mom went inside where her 25-year-old boyfriend worked.

The mom left the engine running for the young children inside the car, including a 7-month-old, 1-year-old, and a 5-year-old. After the mom walked inside, police say a 54-year-old man hopped in the vehicle and drove off with it.

He got stuck in traffic, which allowed the couple to catch up to him. The suspect was pulled out of the vehicle and ran away.

The boyfriend reportedly caught up with the suspect, and he and other men from the neighborhood started to punch and kick him.

Property Rights Victory: Married Couple Allowed To Plant Vegetables In Their Own Front Yard Again

As limited government advocates frequently observe, the government interferes way too much in our lives.

Case in point: While common sense dictates that people ought to exercise control over their own yard, a Florida couple just recently regained the right to plant vegetables in their front yard after years of being prevented from doing so.

Hermine Ricketts and Tom Carroll grew their garden in their front yard because the backyard lacked proper sunlight, but after the local government changed a zoning code, they had to ditch the vegetables they cultivated to avoid a fifty dollar per-day fine.

But now the Florida legislature has now passed a law that prevents local governments from impinging on people’s right to grow vegetables in their own yard. The Miami Herald reported that “The new law was motivated by a legal battle going back to May 2013, when the Miami Shores Village Council amended its zoning code to prohibit front-yard vegetable gardens in the name of ‘protecting the distinctive character of Miami Shores Village.’ The couple either had to get rid of the vegetables or face fines of $50 per day.”

It's Hard To Have A Conversation With Kamala Harris When She Doesn't Even Know What She's Talking About

Sen. Kamala Harris is often heard on the campaign trail saying, "That's definitely a conversation I'd like to have," or some variation of it right before completely not answering whatever question she was asked. The 2020 Democratic candidate does it so much that the good folks over at the Washington Free Beacon were able to craft a supercut of her infamous catchphrase as early as April of this year. Perhaps, however, the reason Sen. Harris says she "would" like to have a conversation is that she literally does not know what she is speaking about, and therefore cannot actually properly discuss ideas. Maybe it is not a political tactic done simply to flounder out of a controversial debate, but a genuine plea for help.

This latest evidence for this occurred Friday on The View after Meghan McCain asked her to clarify her stance on whether or not illegal border crossing should remain a crime. The California senator flummoxed, stuttered, and flip-flopped all in the span of thirty seconds.

300K people are signed up to ‘Storm Area 51’ and ‘see them aliens’

The Clinton administration couldn’t get there. Russian spies tried and failed, too. But that won’t stop nearly 300,000 alien enthusiasts from gathering in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, with plans to invade top-secret military base Area 51, where conspiracy theorists believe the government is hiding information on extra terrestrial life.

The ironic Facebook event, dubbed “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” has nearly 365,000 confirmed attendees, and some 384,000 interested in the mission.

“We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry,” the event details read. “If we naruto run” — referring to the widely memed manga character — “we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens.”

Teen, mom held without bail in killing of mechanic over bill

A St. Louis teen allegedly killed a mechanic who fixed his mom’s BMW — when the worker asked to be paid for the repairs, police said.

Isaiah Gholson, 17, is facing charges that include first-degree murder in the June 9 killing of 52-year-old mechanic Kerry Charley, who police say was shot after refusing to let Gholson and his mother, Ranada Anthony, take the luxury car home without paying for it, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, citing court documents filed Tuesday.

Charley’s sister told the newspaper that the father of three was shot five times in the chest after repairing the car at his home, where police said they were able to match the mechanic’s records to find that the vehicle was registered to Anthony.

“He was a very, very generous person,” said Charley’s sister, who identified herself only as Cindy. “He was always willing to help someone in need when it came to their vehicles. He loved working on cars, it was like a passion for him.”

Migrant Baby Boom: English Schools Need 418,000 Extra Places

English schools will need to find almost 420,000 extra school places over the next decade, due in part to a baby boom among migrant mothers.

The Department for Education has reported that, while its latest projections suggest that “Direct immigration of pupils born outside the UK has a very small effect on the school age population” compared to the birth rate, the birth rate “is in turn affected by any increase in the number of children born to non-UK born women (who overall tend to have higher fertility rates).”

A document explaining underlying methodology of the new figures explain that “Changes in the population who are of school age is largely driven by an increase in the birth rate rather than direct immigration,” for the most part, but “that birth rate is in turn affected by any increase in the number of children born to non-UK born women (compared to those born to non UK-born women).”

Epstein Accused Of Paying Witnesses $350K In Hush Money

Federal prosecutors allege in a new court filing that Jeffrey Epstein may have engaged in witness tampering by paying off two potential witnesses days before the Miami Herald began publishing a series of explosive exposés about the registered sex offender and his victims.

According to financial records, Epstein wired $350,000 to two 'possible co-conspirators' who could testify against him. $100,000 was wired from "Institution-1" to one person, while just three days later $250,000 was wired to another individual. Neither of the payments appear to be recurring based on five years of bank records.

Is one of the co-conspirators Ghislaine Maxwell?

The daughter of a British media barron, Maxwell was described by one Epstein accuser in a 2017 lawsuit as "the highest ranking employee" of his alleged enterprise, in which she was said to have managed both Epstein's household and his sex life.

College Admissions Are Rigged In Favor Of Prominent Democrats

If you’ve ever watched Chris Cuomo on CNN, you may have wondered, How did this guy get a TV show? He can barely speak English. There are nights when Cuomo emits entire paragraphs that mean nothing at all, just pure gibberish. Cuomo went to Yale, which has famously high admissions standards. Is Cuomo a secret genius? Does he have some amazing talent that’s invisible on TV? Maybe he speaks flawless Urdu or has a deep grounding in particle physics.

Actually, it turns out he has an even more impressive qualification: His father, Mario Cuomo, was the governor of New York. If you want to get into a top American college, the most effective credential of all is to have a parent who’s a well-known Democratic politician.

But don’t take our word for it. Ask Dante de Blasio, son of Bill de Blasio, the incompetent mayor of New York. There’s no evidence the younger de Blasio did remarkably well in high school. And yet, like Chris Cuomo, he somehow got into Yale. Once there, Dante de Blasio found himself surrounded by people just like himself: the thoroughly average children of other prominent liberals. That would include the offspring of at least three Democrats currently serving in the U.S. Senate: Michael Bennet, Amy Klobuchar and Sheldon Whitehouse. All of them sent kids to Yale.

Misrepresenting Themselves at the Border

It’s not just the number of individuals crossing our southwest border illegally that’s surging; it’s the number of families. But many of those “families” turn out not to be families at all, but frauds trying to exploit loopholes in federal immigration laws that allow families to avoid detention and deportation back to their native countries.

In May, the Border Patrol intercepted more than 144,000 illegal aliens. That was the largest monthly total in more than a dozen years.

From Oct. 1, 2018, through May 31, 2019, the Border Patrol apprehended almost 600,000 illegal aliens, of which family units and unaccompanied minors represented 66%, also a significant increase.

Protesters Remove U.S. Flag, Replace It With Mexican Flag Outside ICE Facility In Aurora

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4)– Hundreds of protesters gathered in Aurora on Friday evening to march to the ICE detention facility where illegal and undocumented immigrants are being housed. They also removed the U.S. flag, replaced it with a Mexican flag, and spray painted graffiti on a Blue Lives Matter flag before it was seen flying upside down on the flag pole.

This comes before planned ICE raids in Denver and 10 other cities nationwide.

The protesters say they are demonstrating against the treatment of the people living inside. The Blue Lives Matter flag was vandalized with “Abolish ICE” in spray paint.

The original flags outside the ICE facility, including the U.S. flag and Colorado flag were placed on the flag poles after the crowd dispersed. The Mexican flag and spray painted Blue Lives Matter flag were removed.

John James Raises $1.5 Million in Less than a Month

Combat veteran, businessman, and Michigan GOP Senate candidate John James raised more than $1.5 million in just over three weeks, outpacing his opponent Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI).

James raised raised the funds over the month since he announced his candidacy on June 6th for U.S. Senate. An analysis shows Peters averaged $200,000 per week while James averaged $400,000 per week in average donations.

The Michigan Republican said in a statement Thursday:

“In less than a month, our grassroots army showed its strength and our momentum. Michiganders want change. We’re tired of career politicians failing us without consequence. We want leaders who do what’s best for us, not what’s best for themselves. This will be a different kind of campaign. We believe in service before self and we will demonstrate that in various ways throughout this campaign."

Empathy vs. Sympathy: What Is the Difference?

Is that “empathy” or “sympathy” you're showing? While the two words are often incorrectly used interchangeably, the difference in their emotional impact is important. Empathy, as the ability to actually feel what another person is feeling — literally “walk a mile in their shoes” — goes beyond sympathy, a simple expression of concern for another person’s misfortune. Taken to extremes, deep or extended feelings of empathy can actually be harmful to one’s emotional health.
Sympathy

Sympathy is a feeling and expression of concern for someone, often accompanied by a wish for them to be happier or better off. “Oh dear, I hope the chemo helps.” In general, sympathy implies a deeper, more personal, level of concern than pity, a simple expression of sorrow.

However, unlike empathy, sympathy does not imply that one’s feelings for another are based on shared experiences or emotions.
Empathy

As a translation into English of the German word Einfühlung — “feeling into” — made by psychologist Edward Titchener in 1909, “empathy” is the ability to recognize and share another person’s emotions.

Empathy requires the ability to recognize the suffering of another person from their point of view and to openly share their emotions, including painful distress.
