HELPING THE VICTIMS OF THE VEGAS MASSACRE

      President Trump and Melania are scheduled to arrived in Las Vegas on Wednesday to meet with relief workers and victims of Sunday night's massacre. All across the country, people are responding to the President's call for unity.

      Officials in Clark County, Nevada have set up a fund for online public donations. The link can be accessed here. Over $8 million has been raised in one day alone.

      Churches across the country have also been engaging in relief efforts. Pope Francis denounced the attack and, in a special encyclical to Las Vegas Bishop Joseph Pepe, encouraged the Church to reach out to victims. The Las Vegas Diocese has a special support network for First Responders and is itself prepared for an emergency.

       "We are praying for those who have been injured, for those who lost their lives; and for the medical personnel and first responders who, with bravery and self-sacrifice have helped so many," Bishop Pepe, "We are also very heartened by the stories of those who helped each other during this time of crisis. As the Gospel reminds us, we are called upon to be modern-day Good Samaritans."

       The Corporate Media is downplaying the good work everyone else is doing, just as they did during the recent hurricanes. They're focusing on bashing Trump, but it's to no avail. A CBS executive was fired for praising the alleged killing of Republicans; and just yesterday media troll Jimmy Kimmel had an on-air TDS meltdown. In Los Angeles, a professor went berserk in the classroom and was hauled away to the psych ward after running wild through the campus screaming about shootings and Trump.

      Don't be like the Liberals. Whether in prayer services for the victims or donating time and money, do things to help proactively. That's worth a lot more in the long run than political posturing.

THE LAS VEGAS SHOOTING AND MEDIA PUSILLANIMITY

     As we've all heard, there was a horrific mass-shooting in Las Vegas last night; leaving nearly five dozen people dead and hundreds in various states of injury. The suspect fired on the crowd with some type of heavy automatic weapon from the upper story of a tall building. He committed suicide and plunged into Tartarus as the police broke down the door.

     Our general policy here is not to do much speculation during these incidents until all the facts are in. There are plenty of people in Las Vegas in need of help right now. The conduct of the Corporate Media and the Whacko Left in general right now has been an international disgrace.

      Instead of using its vast power to do good for the victims of today's massacre, the media is carrying on like a bunch of cannibals dancing around a stewpot. They're exploiting the tragedy to snipe at President Trump and celebrating that most of the victims were presumably Republicans, based on the demographics of the crowd. CBS was even obliged to fire a senior executive after an online TDS attack applauding the shooting with sadistic glee.

       The comments from Liberals on discussion forums have been revolting to say the least. There's really no point in repeating them here. To people who live by the philosophy that 'the personal is political' things like human empathy and solidarity are meaningless. The victims made a political statement by going to the concert and the shooter made one by killing them. That's as much as they understand, or rather believe dogmatically, because at this point we have no idea what the shooter's motives actually were.

      And the personal-is-political nonsense is the reason why the MSM has such obsessions with motives in these cases. To most outside of investigative, legal, and criminology fields, criminal motives really matter very little. Motivations behind acts like these are always irrational. True, there are equally sick people in the Media and on the Internet encouraging violence and they need to be exposed. But weapons are simply tools and don't discriminate at all about who uses them, or whom they're used upon.

       What we need to focus on as a society is why these incidents seem to be happening in the US with such alarming frequency. One thing that we've observed is that they are overwhelmingly committed by males who have been alienated and radicalized. The root of stopping the problem lies there. There really is no political or ideological underpinning to any of this: radical politics and religious fanaticism are the excuses---not the reasons---for these kinds of incidents. They've been happening under Trump about at the same rate as under Obama which was only slightly higher than under Bush and Clinton. The problem is cultural, not political.

        This is what the Corporate Media can't grasp. To their personal-is-political mindset, a shooting with politically-correct motives or outcomes is somewhat justifiable. Take the example of how they covered the shooting of Democrat Gabrielle Giffords vs. the shooting of Republican Steve Scalise. One is a media icon, the other dropped from the news like a hot potato. And some extremist bloggers on the Far Right have adopted the same philosophy and praise killers like Anders Breivik, Dylann Roof, and Elliot Roger.

       The fact is that mass-killings are never justifiable in this kind of extralegal context. War or other official acts are presumed to be in national defense. But no person can declare a war on society unilaterally and be anything but a murderer regardless of their intentions. What we should be focusing on now is how to aid and assist the victims of the attack instead of finger-pointing and blame-shifting.

NFL ELITES IN THE BELTWAY SWAMP

      A lot of Americans have been questioning the National Football League lately, and especially its impact on the pervasive cultural rot in the US. Like Hollywood, the NFL used to be iconic of American values, but has since degenerated into a PC cesspool of Trash-Culture elites. Some have wondered why more politicians haven't spoken out against the NFL. There is a reason for that. We pointed out in a recent article one example---the Pittsburgh Steelers---of how NFL ownership and management swim in swamp with the Beltway elites.

      But the corruption doesn't stop with one team. Public records show that, despite being a non-profit organization, the NFL is funneling quite a lot of our ticket revenue, viewership fees, and team merchandise dollars into political campaigns and lobbying inside of the Beltway. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell---the highest paid non-profit CEO in the country at $44 million---seems to be quite an avid donor to Senator Charles Schumer along with RINOs Orrin Hatch and John McCain.

       As an organization, the NFL is list as the top contributor to 64 congressmen and senators during 2016. Their largesse is spread over both parties, but some familiar names include Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Keith Ellison, Nancy Pelosi, Shelia Jackson Lee, and Steny Hoyer. And that's only 2016. The NFL is the top contributor to 12% of Congress. And note that this number does not include members with whom they rank second or third as donors. Is it any wonder that Congressmen aren't speaking out?

      Additionally, the NFL maintains its own PAC, which spent $1.5 million in 2016. The PAC is called Gridiron PAC and is managed by New York tax consultant, Bradley Firestone. Public records show that Firestone donated to Obama and was a supporter of Bernie Sanders in 2016.

      Among the non-candidates to which Gridiron PAC donates, we find the Beltway Corporate legal firm Covington and Burling at the top. This law firm now employs former Obama Attorney-General Eric Holder. Holder's latest assignment with C & B has been advising the State of California in its litigation efforts against the Trump Administration.

     The Congressional Black Caucus received $20,000 from Gridiron PAC last year.

     Covington and Burling also received $370,000 from the NFL directly in 2016, as its top Beltway lobbying firm. The NFL retained four lobbying firms in 2016, with 25 lobbyists working for their interests. Of these 25 lobbyists, 22 were Revolving-Door former federal bureaucrats. The NFL has its own lobbying staff too, upon whom it lavished $1.5 million last year.

     The NFL's lobbyists last year were three in number: Kenneth Edmonds, the former Chief-of-Staff to ex-Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.; Nicole Gustafson, former Senate legal counsel to John Cornyn and Chuck Grassley; and Cynthia Hogan, former Chief Counsel to Vice-President Biden. Hogan has since gone on to lobby for Apple Computers and was replaced by Jocelyn Miller, former staffer for three different US Senators.

     Most Americans only see what the players do; but we can see clearly from these facts that the problems in the NFL are systemic. It's not a matter of a few rebellious players cowing the management; the management itself is fully engaged in the political Swamp from which the players' antics emanate. It's obvious that the NFL will not change from political pressure; it's up to us to make it unprofitable for politicians to give the NFL any more cover. How do we do this? Stop spending money on the NFL and it can't spend money inside the Beltway.

ANARCHIST CHUMPS MAKE FOOLS OF THEMSELVES AT RALLY

     This afternoon in Washington, DC a few thousand anti-Trump blockheads congregated in Lincoln Park for the March for Racial Justice. They huffed and stormed their way to the Department of Justice Building where they screamed insults at the empty edifice (unaware apparently that federal employees don't work on weekends).

      Maurice Cook, the ringleader of the mob, told the Corporate Media that "that all of us can come together in love, to fight against this racist regime and start the process of dismissing White Supremacy!"

      If any of these 'activists' had bothered to read the Justice Department's Press Releases for the last 30 days, they would have seen:

9/29: 'DOJ launches $47 million program to fight human trafficking.'

9/29: 'DOJ wins $365,000 sexual harassment lawsuit against Kansas Housing Authority.'

9/29: 'Las Vegas Police official pleads guilty to excessive force violations.'

9/28: 'DOJ sues Guam Government for racial discrimination under the Fair Housing Act.'

9/28: 'DOJ sues Crop Production Service for hiring discrimination against US workers.'

9/27: 'DOJ wins $700,000 for veterans whose vehicles were illegally repossessed under the Active Servicemen's Relief Act.'

9/20: 'California relators sentenced in foreclosure/bid-rigging scheme.'

9/19: 'DOJ settles employment discrimination case on behalf of Army reservist.'

9/19: 'DOJ settles employment discrimination lawsuit against the State of Rhode Island.'

9/18: 'Third Texas man pleads guilty to hate crime for assault based on victim's sexual orientation.'

9/17: 'DOJ secures $907,000 from CitiGroup for illegal vehicle repossessions.'

9/15: 'Utah man charged with hate crime for using stun-gun in racially-motivated attack.'

9/15: 'Four men sentenced for running Child-Exploitation enterprise.'

9/14: 'DOJ obtains $70,000 judgement against Indiana Housing Authority for discrimination under the Fair Housing Act.'

9/13: 'Prison transport officer indicted for sexually assaulting female prisoners.'

9/8: 'Tennessee case protecting the rights of persons with developmental disabilities reaches successful conclusion.'

9/6: 'Louisiana prison official pleads guilty to beating shackled inmate.'

9/5: 'DOJ settles against Edmonds, Washington landlords for discrimination against families with children.'

9/5: 'DOJ settles with Bethlehem, Pennsylvania officials over violations of Religious Land Use Act over proposed mosque.'

      So what exactly are these crackpots protesting against? Maybe that Trump is actually enforcing laws on behalf of minorities and the poor? Because when we look through the same list of DOJ press releases, the only legal action taken against minorities were related to narcotics, gang activity, smuggling, and illegal immigration.

      The organizers of the march speak for themselves. At the top is the aforementioned Maurice Cook, owner of a minor consulting firm inside the Beltway. Co-organizer Dorcas Davis, one of the instigators of the pink-hat 'women's marches also, is a self-described 'educator and artist' at the diploma mill, CUNY. Andrea Ciannavei, MSM parasite, Occupy Movement leader, a organizer of the Million Hoodie March for Trayvon Martin also led today's gang. There were also a pair of cigar-store Indians, one Johnnie Jae, a.k.a. 'The Brown Ball of Fury' and Gabriel Black Elk, an anti-police activist living in Denver. No doubt the latter two were placed on the organizers' list as tokens; to counter President Trump's growing popularity among American Indians.

       Thus, despite the MSM propaganda, the March for Racial Justice was a complete flop; it accomplished absolutely nothing except to create another publicity-stunt for the Left.

NFL GANG-BANGER PUBLICALLY SNEERS AT FANS

     Tennessee Titans' end Delaine Walker---who is currently negotiating a $13.3 million contract with the team---has told fans that "if you feel we're disrespecting you don't come to the game."  Walker went on to claim that he is not anti-police or military, but it's "about equality."

      Equality, indeed. A $13.3 million, two-year contract for 34 weeks of work doesn't sound like the average American income.

       Walker's statement was seized upon by the Corporate Media, which has already been caught colluding with the protestors. With all the new publicity, Walker started playing the Victim Card, alleging that he has received death threats over his remarks; which the gullible press took at face value.

       Delaine Walker himself, though, is no stranger to violent outbursts. In 2013, he was named party to a lawsuit after a gunfight during a drunken brawl at the home of ex-teammate Aldon Smith. Smith himself has been a regular resident of California jails: once for making a false bomb threat at the Los Angeles Airport, as well as racking up a few DUIs.

      The 2013 lawsuit was filed by one Ronndale Esporlas who sustained unspecified permanent injuries after being "caught in the crossfire". Esporlas' attorney alleged that Walker was firing a handgun in the house, when he came out into the driveway and exchanged shots with a local Bay Area gang. According to San Jose Police reports, Smith was stabbed and two people were shot during the melee.

       In 2015, Walker was involved in another scandal when his then-pregnant girlfriend Racine Lewin hacked his Instagram account and exposed him for committing multiple infidelities while she was pregnant. The two later reconciled; but earlier this year Racine caught Walker with a prostitute.

       A fine role model for young men, this guy.

       For their part, the Tennessee Titans also have a history of betraying fans. They were formerly the Houston Oilers---one of the founding AFL teams---but moved to Tennessee in 1996 after a $210 million relocation deal from Nashville politicians. Houston was then suffering an economic recession and the owners felt the fans were of no further use.

       This is another example of why we need a new league. The NFL is corrupted beyond any semblance to its former standards, and needs to fade into history.

MELANIA HELPS CHILDREN WHILE MICHELLE AND HILLARY FUME

     First Lady Melania Trump was in New York City today attending a luncheon hosted by the Nicklaus Children's Healthcare Foundation, one of Mrs. Trump's favorite charities. In collaboration with Barbara Nicklaus, wife of the famous pro golfer Jack Nicklaus, Melania announced the opening of a children's park adjacent to the Miami Children's Hospital.

     Melania was a driving force behind this park, which in Pediatric Medical parlance is called a 'healing garden'. Despite the rather New-Age term, healing gardens are based on a medical principle which physicians have known for centuries: that spending time in the outdoors is therapeutic.

      For critically ill children in downtown Miami, however, excursions to the outdoors isn't realistically possible. The new park---which is open only to hospital patients---will help enormously. This is especially true since many new patients have arrived in the wake of the recent hurricanes.  

       "It's true that elements of nature help with healing, and I look forward to visiting Florida when the healing garden is ready, so that I can meet with some of the brave patients and their families who benefit from all that it will have to offer." Melania said.

       Dr. Kristine Guliserian, a heart surgeon at the children's hospital, also gave a short presentation to the group explaining other new advances in pediatric care being developed there. The Miami facility is the leading pediatric care facility in the US.

       This story was of course ignored by the Corporate Media which is focusing on Michelle Obama's latest outburst against pro-Trump MAWGA women. Melania's predecessor complained that such females are "a disgrace to their gender." A lot of children currently confined in the Miami Children's Hospital would probably disagree. They've been focusing on the DNC Hillary harlequins in Congress, kneeling in solidarity with the NFL thugs. But real women like Melania Trump and Barbara Nicklaus show solidarity with traditional feminine values. Which is why they're admired which Michelle and Hillary stew in envy.

SPIRIT COOKING WITH THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS

     The NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers---once an iconic American institution---was one of the instigating organizations behind last Sunday's fake anti-Anthem protests. Now it's fairly obvious that the motivation behind these publicity stunts was aimed against President Trump, who called out the NFL for its pusillanimity the day before.

       So the political motivations behind the Steelers' actions are starting to become clearer. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, it happens, is not only a Democrat but very active in the DNC. It was Tomlin who more-or-less tried to stop players from entering the stadium during the National Anthem, and denounced the one player with manhood enough to defy him.

       Tomlin and his wife Kiya hosted a $10,000-a-plate fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in June 2016 in their posh suburban home.

      


         It's not known whether any 'spirit cooking' actually happened, but quite a bit of cash was raised for Hillary's other sinister purposes. And that's not the limit of the Tomlins' activism, by any means. According to Open Secrets, Mike Tomlin gave a whopping $30,000 to the DNC in 2011 and $25,000 in 2016. He also gave the maximum individual donation of $2,700 to the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Campaigns those same years.

         Tomlin's wife Kiya, a fashion designer and media hanger-on, donated $20,000 to the DNC in 2008; $30,000 in 2011; and $25,000 in 2016. She donated the maximum to both Obama Campaigns and to Hillary's 2016 bid.



        
          Steelers owner Art Rooney II has tried to deflect the growing anger at Tomlin and the players by saying that they have a right to their opinions. That may be so; but we're not talking here about an average Democrat voter. Tomlin directly instigated an overtly political statement---and his deep ties to Trump's opponents casts serious doubts as to his actual motivations. It's highly probable, given these facts, that last weekend's NFL protests were orchestrated and not spontaneous at all.

          As for Rooney, his fingers are the same pies as Tomlin's. He is an executive in the firm Buchanan, Ingersoll, and Rooney PC, which Wikipedia succinctly describes as "one of the nation's largest legal and lobbying firms".  This company is the government lobbying firm in Pennsylvania and among the top 20 Federal lobbying firms. In 2016, their five top political recipients were: the DNC; the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Hillary Clinton Campaign, and the activist group Women Vote!, in that order.

        Aside from arch-RINO Arlen Specter, the overwhelming number of political donations that Rooney has made has been to Democrats. He supported Al Gore, John Kerry. Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton and was an attendee at Obama's Inaugural Ball in 2009.

         I wonder how Steelers fans feel, knowing that the over-priced tickets that go to lining Tomlin's and Rooney's pockets, are also supporting the DNC? If we do get a new league, let's leave the Steelers out of it.
