Riley Howell, 21, died while tackling the gunman of the UNCC campus shooting on April 30. He was one of 2 students killed and 4 wounded, but there may have been many more victims had Riley not rushed the gunman and tackled him.
Riley was an ROTC cadet and would have served his country. Instead, he died saving the lives of his classmates.
For his heroism, we ask the Riley be given a burial with full military honors.
Outspoken conservative actor James Woods has been banned from Twitter for more than a week after he tweeted “If you try to kill the King, you best not miss’ #HangThemAll” – an apparent reference to the Mueller report.
President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to start pulling the federal government out of K-12 education, following through on a campaign promise to return school control to state and local officials.
The order, dubbed the “Education Federalism Executive Order,” will launch a 300-day review of Obama-era regulations and guidance for school districts and directs Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to modify or repeal measures she deems an overreach by the federal government.
“For too long the government has imposed its will on state and local governments. The result has been education that spends more and achieves far, far, far less, Mr. Trump said. “My administration has been working to reverse this federal power grab and give power back to families, cities [and] states — give power back to localities.”
He said that previous administrations had increasingly forced schools to comply with “whims and dictates” from Washington, but his administration would break the trend.
The Democrats and Deep State Republicans have to marginalize not only AG Barr but the entire Department of Justice. They know that the indictments of Obama administration officials will be served shortly. For those who think we should just move on:
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
Samuel Adams
For those who believe justice must be served in order to restore Liberty, get ready for a rough ride. As the indictments progress from McCabe to Comey to Clapper to Brennan to Hillary to Obama, the “scandal free” administration will be exposed. The Deep State will not concede defeat since this is their last chance.
First, Pelosi. Accusing Barr of criminal conduct is an instant “we’re done” in terms of cooperation. Do that with someone when you want to question them under oath and all you get from there is “I take the 5th“. And that’s not limited to Barr either; since Pelosi has thrown that out there nobody in the Administration — or previously in it — should do anything other than give name and take the 5th. Show up, erect the middle finger in the form of the 5th Amendment and then shut up. Any subpoena for a “thing” issued you fight. Voluntarily comply with nothing.
That was the dumbest thing I’ve heard someone say who claims to be “respectable” and “honorable” in my years as an adult — unless her intent was to provoke Trump into telling her — and the rest of Congress — to go to Hell. She hasn’t been the only one doing so of late either.
I wasn’t surprised to see Trump do exactly that. On the air — not on Twitter.
So here’s my nickel review: This is all clown show political nonsense.
But there’s a problem with people like Pelosi and the others — hubris.
But the ability to resist tyranny, and the expression of resistance by whatever means are necessary, is an inherent part of America’s DNA. It’s been silent for a very long time, but it’s not gone. I’m sure of it.
At what point does hubris get pressed too far? I don’t know.
I just know you can.
And I know if that happens very ugly things are likely to happen.
There are 535 Congresscritters. That’s a VERY small number.
There are 330 million American citizens. How many are (1) not insane, and (2) still have that DNA in them in a form and fashion that it can be activated by too much of that hubris? None of those people will be talking about anything in advance; not on Facebook, not in a blog, in a bar, on Twitter — nowhere. How many of those have either formal training, a cunning and practical mind along with a willingness to cash themselves if they have to in order to “make a difference” or worse both — and decide to act in an effort to dissuade what they see — quite arguably as legitimately so — as credible threats to destroy the Constitution?
I don’t know.
But this much I do know — if the people in DC keep this crap up and go from Clownshow to real, credible threats we may all get to find out — and wish we hadn’t.
Most of the world is now very aware that the Democrat sponsored invasion through our southern “border” is a complete success. And these “immigrants” are bringing their diseases with them. I doubt that the Dunning-Kruger Democrats realize the possible consequences of their plan to destroy the country. If Ebola gains a foothold here because of their treachery, the response of patriotic Americans will be swift and it will become their worst nightmare.
Why do Democrats want to make sentient people ignorant of both our history and our culture? The better question is how were they able to be so successful?

A Declaration by the Representatives of the United Colonies of North America, now met in General Congress at Philadelphia, setting forth the causes and necessity of their taking up arms.
If it was possible for men, who exercise their reason, to believe, that the Divine Author of our existence intended a part of the human race to hold an absolute property in, and an unbounded power over others, marked out by his infinite goodness and wisdom, as the objects of a legal domination never rightfully resistible, however severe and oppressive, the Inhabitants of these Colonies might at least require from the Parliament of Great Britain some evidence, that this dreadful authority over them, has been granted to that body. But a reverence for our great Creator, principles of humanity, and the dictates of common sense, must convince all those who reflect upon the subject, that government was instituted to promote the welfare of mankind, and ought to be administered for the attainment of that end. The legislature of Great Britain, however, stimulated by an inordinate passion for a power, not only unjustifiable, but which they know to be peculiarly reprobated by the very constitution of that kingdom, and desperate of success in any mode of contest, where regard should be had to truth, law, or right, have at length, deserting those, attempted to effect their cruel and impolitic purpose of enslaving these Colonies by violence, and have thereby rendered it necessary for us to close with their last appeal from Reason to Arms.–Yet, however blinded that assembly may be, by their intemperate rage for unlimited domination, so to slight justice and the opinion of mankind, we esteem ourselves bound, by obligations of respect to the rest of the world, to make known the justice of our cause.
