Corrupt Mexican Officials Are to Blame for Illegal Human Smuggling Racket ~ Michelle Malkin points out the real culprits in those sad deaths of 10 illegal immigrants in Texas ~
Human rights watchdogs and border reporters left, right, and center—from The Huffington Post to Breitbart Texas—have exposed callous Mexican government officials selling out their own people while turning a blind eye to massacres, kidnappings, extortion, and racketeering across the Mexican border states.
These usually mouthy Mexican leaders are now quiet as church mice about the latest casualties of open borders. Why? Because illegal immigration is the country’s budgetary bonanza.
Pretty White Australian Girls’ Lives Matter ~ Ann Coulter’s take on the Somali (Muslim) police officer with the itchy trigger finger in Minneapolis last week ~
Noor’s African-American neighbor, Chris Miller, said he was shocked when he heard about Damond’s shooting — until he found out it was Noor. Miller told The Daily Telegraph (Australia) that his Somali neighbor was quick to anger and was always going off on women and children. “He is extremely nervous,” Miller said, “a little jumpy … he doesn’t really respect women, the least thing you say to him can set him off.”
Just what you’d look for in a police officer eh?
(College) Marxist group disbands because members were too rich, white ~ Too bourgeoisie ~
• A Marxist student group at Swarthmore College disbanded itself earlier this year after realizing that its members were too rich and too white to be real commies.
• A farewell letter from a former member complains that the group’s founders where “entirely white, with the exception of one person of color,” and that none of them came from “low-income and/or working class backgrounds.”
Disregarding Danger: Sweden to Deport Christian to Iran ~ Is Sweden officially a Muslim country now? (Absurdistan) ~
STOCKHOLM – Sweden is about to deport Iranian Christian actress Aideen Strandsson back to Iran, where she faces torture, rape and even death in an Iranian prison.

Protesters wall off access to French migrant shelter ~ Interesting. Could we be witnessing a new French Resistance?
Locals in southwestern France have built a wall around the entrance to a disused hotel in protest against plans to turn it into a migrant centre.
Protesters in a town in southwest France have built a nearly-two-metre-high wall around the entrance to a disused hotel to try to prevent it being turned into a migrant shelter.
Working under cover of darkness, a few dozen residents of Semeac in the Pyrenees mountains erected a wall 18 metres (60 feet) long and 1.8 metres high barring access to the Formule 1 hotel, a spokesman for the group confirmed.
“We not against taking in migrants,” Laurent Teixeira told AFP. “But you have to take account of the citizens.”
World War II Veteran Assaulted While Defending Flag at His Home ~ 92 year-old Howard Banks is legally blind! And this is in Texas! Hopefully the police can track down these cowards ~
(The Kaufman Police Department) praised the veteran as an American hero who joined the Marine Corps at the age of 18 to fight in the war against Japan. He survived battles in Iwo Jima and other Pacific Theater locations.
“This gentleman is a hero to our officers and the city’s residents should be extremely proud to have him as part of our community.”
What HBO Won’t Tell You About Slavery and the Bible ~ Bryan Fischer explains how the upcoming HBO series “Confederate” will turn into a year long smear campaign against white American Christians, tagging them as unrepentant racists. Because without re-writing history, leftists could never advance their godless agenda ~
The ultimate purpose will be to inflame as much white guilt as possible, make white Americans feel guilty for, well, being white, and persuade them to feel a brooding weight of guilt for something they had nothing to do with. The fact of the matter is that it was white evangelical Christians – the abolitionists in the North – who were responsible for ending slavery in America. But you likely will never know it watching this exercise in racist demagoguery.
