While Hillary Clinton professes to have the backs of law enforcement and tells us she wants a strong military, those platitudes are political theatre that do nothing to cover up the growing anti-Americanism within the Democratic party, much of which Mrs Clinton has been an avid supporter.
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama snd most other Democrat politicians are on record as being supporters of Occupy Wall Street, the Black Panthers and Black Lives Matter, all of which are anti-police. And they have supported President Obama's castration of our military, firing generals, pulling troops away from the fight before it's won, and cutting the military to pre-WWII levels.
And the Democratic National Convention offered proof that what Democrats SAY and what they DO are two entirely different things. On the first day of the convention the American flag was conspicuously absent. And they needed to put the Pledge of Allegiance on the teleprompter. So they set out to fake their support of America by adding flags, patriotic balloons and having police and generals as speakers. But when a speaker - a police chief - requested a moment of silence for our fallen heroes she was instead shouted down with anti-police chants. And when a general and a Medal of Honor recipient spoke, they, too, were shouted down, disrespected and shamed by the Democrat audience. And even Leon Panetta was heckled and shouted down when he tried to stand up for America. So much for all the pretty balloons!
The Democrats tried to prove their "patriotism" with red, white and blue balloons. I'm sorry, but political theater is not patriotism. Wearing a flag does not a patriot make. A patriot is someone who FIGHTS for and SUPPORTS the flag and our military instead of just giving it lip service.
And let's not forget that most of the Bernie supporters are anti-police and anti-American, fighting for anarchy and socialism, and Mrs Clinton and the Democrat party are trying to cozy up to them for political purposes. Maybe they should be spending at least as much effort into trying to win the votes af middle America - those "rubes" in the fly-over country that actually love America, respect law and order and support our military.

Famed U.S. Physicist: Global Warming A Scam
In all likelihood, you never saw this in the mainstream media, as it opposes their agenda. But before he passed away, noted U.S. physicist Hal Lewis, upon resigning his post with American Physical Society, and like Christopher Columbus repudiating the accepted "science" of the day that the world was flat, submitted the following letter of resignation:
"For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.
"It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it [ED: worldwide, over a period of years], that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford’s book organizes the facts very well.) I don’t believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist.
"So what has the APS, as an organization, done in the face of this challenge? It has accepted the corruption as the norm, and gone along with it….
"This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I don’t think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club.
"I think it behooves us to be careful about how we state the science. I know of nobody who denies that the Earth has been warming for thousands of years without our help (and specifically since the Little Ice Age a few hundred years ago), and is most likely to continue to do so in its own sweet time. The important question is how much warming does the future hold, is it good or bad, and if bad is it too much for normal adaptation to handle. The real answer to the first is that no one knows, the real answer to the second is more likely good than bad (people and plants die from cold, not warmth), and the answer to the third is almost certainly not. And nobody doubts that CO2 in the atmosphere has been increasing for the better part of a century, but the disobedient temperature seems not to care very much. And nobody denies that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, along with other gases like water vapor, but despite the claims of those who are profiting by this craze, no one knows whether the temperature affects the CO2 or vice versa. The weight of the evidence is the former.
"So the tragedy is that the serious questions are quantitative, and it’s easy to fool people with slogans. If you say that the Earth is warming you are telling the truth, but not the whole truth, and if you say it is due to the burning of fossil fuels you are on thin ice. If you say that the Earth is warming and therefore catastrophe lies ahead, you are pulling an ordinary bait and switch scam. If you are a demagogue, of course, these distinctions don’t bother you — you have little interest in that quaint concept called truth.
"So it isn’t simple, and the catastrophe mongers are playing a very lucrative game."

Is the Cop Racist - or Something else?
In MN a police officer shoots and kills a black man whose only "crime" appears to have been a defective taillight. At leasty, that is what his girlfriend, the MN governor, Jesse Jackson and thousands of protesters would have us believe. And so they automatically play the race card, claiming the cop must have been racist.
But a thinking person without any bias would see another possibility.
First, it must be considered that with all the cops being murdered these days, every police officer has that in the back of their mind - that, without warning, they could be shot for no reason.
Second, in most police departments, officers are trained to handle certain situations in certain ways. For example, if someone tells you they are armed, the officer would, as a matter of standard operating procedure, advise the person to keep their hands where the officer can see them until such time as the officer can safely secure the weapon. Since the "livestream" of the girlfriend does not show what transpired prior to the actual shooting, we should assume that is what the officer attempted, since he wants to go home at night.
So, let us assume the officer followed SOP, and told the individual to keep his hands in view. Instead, the driver, innocently enough, reaches for his wallet to show his license. To the officer, the driver could have been reaching for his gun. He has no way of knowing.
At this point, most people would act defensively. The cop draws his weapon and fires. And at that point the girlfriend begins livestreaming, and making claims that would make it appear that her botfriend was shot without cause.
I contend the officer was doing what all officers are trained to do when they encounter an armed person. And the armed person, without thinking, acted in a way that gave the officer cause for fear for his life.
They both made huge mistakes. And it cost one man his life.
The driver may have been acting innocently enough, but the officer would not know what is in his mind, as the armed person reaches for his pocket.
Unfortunate. But not racist.
If YOU were the cop, and you were faced with an armed person who reaches for his pocket instead of keeping his hands in view, and having it in the back of your mind that the murder of police officers is up 40% this year. Would YOU gamble your life?
Not me.
As to the MN governor, Jesse Jackson and all the other race-baiters out there who want to use this to further a false narrative, I say they are the true racists.
And as I type this, eleven more police officers have just been shot, 3 dead in Dallas, TX.
Can't blame cops for erring on the side of caution.
