Chuck Schumer: 3D-Printed Guns Open Door to ‘Fully Semi Automatic Weapon’
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is doing his part to derail the government’s settlement with Cody Wilson’s Defense Distributed by suggesting 3D gun printers allow someone to copy a “fully semiautomatic weapon.”
A “fully semiautomatic weapon” is a moniker at odds with itself. It is like a 13-story home with one floor or half-empty full glass of water.
According to the NRA-ILA, Schumer reacted to the State Department’s settlement with Wilson’s Defense Distributed by saying, “America is going to get a lot less safe.” He added that 3D-printed firearms are not only scary, they’re outright dangerous in the way they can mimic the look and the capacity of a hardened, fully semiautomatic weapon.”
Schumer’s words are reminiscent of a CNN report wherein AR-15s were described as “full semiautomatic.” On February 27, 2018, Breitbart News reported that CNN presented the AR-15 as “full semiautomatic” just hours before Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) urged Congress to ban “massacre machine gun magazines.”
On July 26, 2018, Gabby Giffords, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and the Michael Bloomberg funded-Everytown for Gun Safety filed a motion to block the government’s settlement with Wilson’s Defense Distributed. A day later, Breitbart News reported that the judge rejected the motion by ruling that Giffords, the Brady Campaign, and Everytown had no standing.

Democrats Push For Illegal Immigrants To Out-Vote Americans
National coverage of Democrats pushing for sanctuary cities, states and open borders tends to focus on the extremism of California liberals.
The West Coast state has vocal politicians such as congresswoman Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi and Gov. Jerry Brown enacting laws to shield illegal immigrants from ICE and treat them better than American citizens. Voting rights for illegal immigrants are now part of a national push by Democrats that runs from sea to shining sea.
America’s Smallest State Opens Door To Illegal Voting
While Rhode Island has long been considered a Democrat stronghold, the political divide remains within 10 points either way. Capitalizing on the narrow split, now-Gov. Gina Raimondo inserted herself into the last gubernatorial race as a conservative-leaning Democrat.
Since taking office, the once popular governor has taken a hard-left turn. Her policies have included highway tolls leveled against working truck drivers and more recently giving illegal immigrants the ability to gain driver’s licenses.
The legislation Gov. Raimondo signed into law says that the license to operate a motor vehicle does not provide a right to vote. However, many Rhode Islanders recognize the move as a backdoor effort by Democrats to call on illegal immigrants to break the law and vote.
During the 2016 election, Trump supporters took posts as neutral monitors of the election process in the state’s capital of Providence. With Republicans on watch, numerous people were discovered attempting to vote without producing lawfully required identification. Voter turnout at Providence’s highest expected voting location reportedly plummeted.
With a driver’s license in hand, illegal immigrants will be able to slip through the cracks and help candidates that support open borders, abolishing ICE and rolling back the president’s Tax Reform and Jobs Act that has helped revitalize the American economy. Make no mistake, liberal politicians everywhere want non-citizens to out-vote Americans.
California Gives Illegal Immigrants Right To Vote
With elitist Democrats claiming the country’s most populated state is a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, it stands to reason that the radicals running San Francisco would be open arms to criminals from other countries calling the shots.
To that end, the sanctuary city embedded in the sanctuary state has run afoul of patriotism. Starting in the midterm elections, San Francisco will reportedly allow non-citizens to vote in school board elections. In a statement that turns common sense on its ear, San Francisco officials are outraged that tax paying citizens are selecting school board members.
“These people have been marginalized,” Election Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer reportedly said. “And, other people who are citizens who have the legal right to vote have dominated the conversation.”
The idea that citizens cast votes about their children’s future apparently will not stand in liberal San Francisco. To that end, the following new city policy has reportedly been put in place.
“City residents who are of legal voting age, not in prison or on parole for a felony conviction, and are parents, legal guardians, or legally recognized caregivers of children under the age of 19 living in San Francisco, can register to vote in school board elections — regardless of legal immigration status.”
It’s important to keep in mind that California already rejects the idea of producing proof of citizenship or residency in elections. The practice favors voter fraud as does Rhode Island’s doling out driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.
California — like Rhode Island — is pressing radical open borders policies. In all likelihood, the school board voting rights are the first step to allowing non-citizens to vote in local and state elections. After all, illegal immigrants already have the right to cast a ballot in San Francisco.
Washington Democrats Ready To Give Illegals The Vote
In a recent non-binding resolution on the floor of the U.S. House, Democrats widely voted against or dodged the support of law enforcement, including ICE.
The move called for the “continued support for all United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and personnel who carry out the important mission of ICE” and “the efforts of all Federal agencies, State law enforcement, and military personnel who bring law and order to our Nation’s borders.”
Only 18 Democrats supported the measure, with 35 voting against it and 133 staying on the sidelines. As the abolish ICE movement gains traction among Democrats, the left continues to find ways to have non-citizens illegally vote against American values.
In the 2016 elections, Americans shrugged off the feeling their vote didn’t matter. They backed the GOP, Pres. Trump and changed the country’s direction for the better. Democrats want to subvert the will of Americans by handing the country over to foreigners. The choice Americans have this November is pretty clear.

City report on Confederate monuments raises idea of renaming Austin
By Philip Jankowski - American-Statesman Staff
The city of Austin’s equity office has recommended changing various street names with historical ties to the Confederacy. One of those streets, Confederate Street, runs for half a block near Mathews Elementary. CREDIT: RALPH BARRERA/AMERICAN-STATESMANHighlights
Renaming of seven streets worthy of immediate action, report states, but renaming Austin not a simple matter.
In discussion of possible changes, report also asks, ‘What’s next and where do we stop?’
Known as both the “father of Texas” and the namesake of the state’s capital, Stephen F. Austin carved out the early outlines of Texas among his many accomplishments.
He also opposed an attempt by Mexico to ban slavery in the province of Tejas and said if slaves were freed, they would turn into “vagabonds, a nuisance and a menace.”
For that reason, the city of Austin’s Equity Office suggested renaming the city in a report about existing Confederate monuments that was published this week.
Also on the list of locales to possibly be renamed: Pease Park, the Bouldin Creek neighborhood, Barton Springs and 10 streets named for William Barton, the “Daniel Boone of Texas,” who was a slave owner.
To be sure, the identified streets and parks are only suggested for reconsideration. And the city, Bouldin Creek, Pease Park and the Barton-related landmarks — a group that includes Barton Springs — were included in a lower-tier list of “assets for secondary review” in the report. Still, the report did identify several streets staff consider related to the Confederacy and worthy of more immediate action. Those streets are:
• Littlefield Street
• Tom Green Street
• Sneed Cove
• Reagan Hill Drive
• Dixie Drive
• Confederate Avenue
• Plantation Road
The city estimates that it would cost $5,956 to rename the seven streets.
While the cost of such changes might appear reasonable, opposition to similar renamings has tended to revolve around the inconvenience and expense faced by longtime homeowners and business owners who must deal with a new address. Complaints along those lines surfaced earlier this year when the Austin City Council changed the names of two streets recognizing Confederate leaders.
Before the council renamed Robert E. Lee Road as Azie Morton Road and Jeff Davis Avenue was changed to William Holland Avenue, the city gathered input from residents along those streets. A majority opposed the changes, which occurred in April.
Some accused the city of whitewashing history.
The latest report acknowledged the likelihood of opposing viewpoints and nodded to inconveniences to businesses and residents and the view that changing the names could be considered a threat to historical preservation. It also asked whether the proposed changes reside on a slippery slope.
“What’s next and where do we stop?” the report asks.
Any changes to road names would require public hearings and action from the City Council. Before the city changed the two street names in April, the city’s staff had reached out to all residents to seek their input.
A change to the city’s name, meanwhile, likely would require an election since “Austin” would have to be struck from the city charter and replaced.
The report also identified numerous historical markers related to the Confederacy on city property that could be targeted for removal. Those include a marker for the Confederate States of America that’s located at Congress Avenue and Cesar Chavez Street.
However, the city would need approval from the Texas Historical Commission and the Travis County Historical Commission to move them.
Any new street names might fall in line with a 2017 recommendation from the Austin Commission for Women that called for the city to address gender and racial disparities in the naming of public symbols. The commission also suggested preference should be given to individuals connected to Austin and having a “positive relationship and history with the community.
The Equity Office’s report concludes, “It is essential to acknowledge that societal values are fluid, and they can be and are different today compared to when our city made decisions to name and/or place these Confederate symbols in our community.
“It is also important to acknowledge that nearly all monuments to the Confederacy and its leaders were erected without a true democratic process. People of color often had no voice and no opportunity to raise concerns about the city’s decision to honor Confederate leaders.”

Top US Generals Make Unprecedented Announcement on KJU’s Leadership
The commander of U.S. Forces Korea said Saturday that North Korea has “signaled a change in direction,” insisting that the U.S. will take North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “at his word.”
North Korea has “signaled a change in direction” since its last weapons test in November 2017.
“(It is) perhaps a change in calculus that we had been looking for,” Gen. Vincent Brooks said at the Aspen Security Forum in Aspen, Colorado.
The North Korean leader “has really demonstrated he is a man of his word in a number of ways,” the general said, noting that North Korea has “gone now 235 days without a provocation.”
“We will take him at his word,” he added, “The lack of trust is the enemy we now have to defeat.”
The North’s last weapons test occurred on Nov. 29, 2017 and involved the new Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile — a powerful weapon theoretically able to range the entire continental U.S.
The general acknowledged reports that North Korea’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile development programs are still operational, but he expressed optimism, arguing that,while the North may still be advancing its weapons programs, the desire to use the weapons developed has changed.
“We haven’t seen a complete shutdown of production yet. We have not seen a removal of fuel rods. These types of things tell us there are still steps that must be taken on the road to denuclearization,” Brooks said.
“To be sure, the physical threats and capabilities are still in place, but it’s evident in words and actions that the intent to use them has changed.”
In the lead up to the historic summit between President Donald Trump and Kim in Singapore, the North took several positive steps, including the demolition of the Punggye-ri nuclear test site — the extent of the damage is unclear — the release of three American prisoners, and Kim’s decision to end weapons testing as long as talks are ongoing.
But since the June 12 summit, where the president agreed to cancel “provocative” war games with South Korea as a gesture of goodwill toward the North, Pyongyang has been uncooperative.
The North has bristled at attempts by U.S. negotiators to establish a plan for the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, strongly criticizing the U.S. attitude as “cancerous” and “gangster-like.”
The North also failed to show for a meeting with U.S. officials at the inter-Korean border aimed at facilitating the return of the remains of U.S. war dead.
The transfer, which has yet to happen, was expected several weeks ago.
While Trump insists that talks with North Korea are “going well,” the president reportedly often expresses his frustration with the lack of progress on the North Korea issue in private, The Washington Post revealed Saturday, citing around half a dozen White House officials and aides.
Christian Pastor Slams NAACP for Supporting ‘Black Genocide’ of Abortion
Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty ImagesThe Rev. Clenard Childress Jr., a leading black pro-life advocate, decried NAACP’s support for abortion Saturday, pointing to statistics showing that nearly 1,800 unborn black babies are aborted every day, proportionately more than any other race.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which historically opposed Planned Parenthood for its attempts to reduce the black population through abortion, now publicly supports Planned Parenthood and abortion, Childress lamented in an essay for the Black Christian News Network One (BCNN1).
Why is it that the NAACP, among America’s most prestigious defenders of civil rights, is silent before the devastating effects of “eugenic policies perpetrated upon people-of-color,” Childress asks, when the country’s leading abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, continues working to winnow out the black community through abortion?
In his essay, Rev. Childress notes some chilling statistics, including that 52 percent of all African American pregnancies end in abortion and that while abortion is the most performed operation on women, it is also “the least regulated medical procedure” and is often “completely ignored by health regulation enforcement.”
Since the 1973 Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade, the United States has played host to “a holocaust where over 20 Million African American children have been systematically annihilated by abortion and thus denied access to the American Dream,” he said.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood and a promoter of eugenics, “was a racist, white Supremacist, and the major facilitator of millions of African American deaths,” Childress observes. “Why no denunciation from the NAACP?”
Last March, a Planned Parenthood student group at the University of Florida hosted an event to discuss the racist roots of the organization as well as the eugenics of founder Margaret Sanger.
“Come join Planned Parenthood Generation Action for a panel discussion on the racist roots of Planned Parenthood during Black History Month,” read the Facebook announcement of the event bearing the title “Decolonizing Sexual Health.”
“Our subject is addressing the racist roots of the birth control movement, specifically pertaining to the influence of eugenics,” the post continued. “Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood’s founder, is a controversial figure in this conversation because despite her devotion to reproductive rights, she also had beliefs, practices, and associations with eugenics that we acknowledge and denounce, and work to rectify today.”
Organizers said that the event was meant “to open a conversation about the decolonization of sexual health and how resources are disproportionately inaccessible to folks based on demographics.”
According to a number of Planned Parenthood critics, Planned Parenthood is uniquely responsible, even today, for targeting of minority communities with its abortion clinics —which seems to fit with the original racist aims of the organization.
In March, Obianuju Ekeocha, a Nigerian scientist, pro-life champion, and author of Target Africa: Ideological Neo-colonialism of the Twenty-first Century, told Breitbart News that Planned Parenthood not only “has its roots firmly embedded in eugenic racism,” but even today, “we know that Planned Parenthood targets black and other minority communities, having up to 79% of their surgical abortion facilities located within walking distance of African American or Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods.”
While abortion is the leading cause of death across the board in America, it is even more so for the black community, accounting for more deaths than homicide, automobile accidents, heart disease, or cancer.
The NAACP, characterized by a former member Friday as nothing more than “a platform for Democratic candidates to appear as if they care about African-American causes,” seems to have lost its stomach for the great civil rights cause of the day: the massacre of unborn black children.

Gregg Jarrett: ‘Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax’ a Scheme to Clear Hillary, Undo Election
Win McNamee/Getty ImagesFox News Channel legal analyst Gregg Jarrett, author of The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump, described the “Trump-Russia collusion” as “an effort to undo the election.”
He offered his remarks during a Wednesday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with Breitbart News Senior Editors-at-Large Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.
Jarrett said, “There was scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump. Top officials at the FBI and the Department of Justice were threatened by Trump; this guy is going to come in there and drain the swamp, and that threatened their jobs and their positions. There is nothing that will motivate people more than power forfeited, so people like James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Andy McCabe, people at the Department of Justice decided that they were going to clear Hillary Clinton of the many crimes she surely committed. To do that, they had to twist the facts and contort the law.”
Jarrett continued: “On the very day that Comey stood in front of television cameras, July 5th, 2016, clearing [Hillary Clinton] of the obvious crimes she had committed, his FBI was secretly meeting for the first time in London with the author of the phony anti-Trump dossier, an ex-MI6 British agent, and armed with that fabricated document — it’s laughable on its face — they decided this is the pretext that they can exploit to frame Donald Trump for crimes he didn’t commit, and indeed, crimes that don’t even exist.
Jarrett concluded, “They were trying to damage his candidacy and prevent him from being elected, and when he defied that and was elected, they doubled down in an effort to undo the election and destroy his presidency, and it’s still going on, right now.”
Jarrett cast the Obama administration’s surveillance of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign as baseless. He said, “There was never any evidence of collusion. There was no basis to launch the investigation of Trump and his campaign. There was no probable cause, as the law requires; no credible evidence that crimes were committed, as FBI [and] Department of Justice regulations demand. There was never any plausible intelligence to justify a counterintelligence probe. They invented or exaggerated facts. It was a hoax, manufactured by these high-ranking officials at the FBI and Department of Justice.”
Jarrett dismissed the ostensible investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller: “This investigation, this Trump-Russia collusion hoax has been going on for two years. The investigation was launched two years ago next week. It actually began on the very day Comey cleared Hillary Clinton.”
Jarret added, “The Strzok-Page text messages provide what I think is a very powerful narrative of how severe bias against Trump motivated and drove top officials to clear Clinton and target Trump in an effort to stop him from becoming president.”
Jarrett spoke of the “dossier” composed by Christopher Steele and commissioned by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign via Fusion GPS: “It never fails to make me laugh. It is the stuff of an amateur detective novelist. It was clearly fabricated, and the FBI knew that. They didn’t care. People like John Brennan [and] James Clapper and all of the others at the FBI decided, ‘It’s good enough for us to bring down Trump with this document,’ and one of their first steps was to go to a FISA court and conceal evidence [and] deceive the judges to gain a warrant to wiretap the Trump campaign. Even when they couldn’t verify it, even when they figured out that Steele was a liar, they still represented to the court on the renewals for the wiretaps that his work is still credible. That’s nonsense, and it just shows you what a scam and sham investigation it was and still is.”
Jarrett described then-FBI Director James Comey’s ostensible secondary investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email conduct as a reaction to pressure from federal prosecutors in New York. He stated, “McCabe and Strzok would have continued to take no action against Hillary Clinton and renew the investigation after the Weiner evidence was disclosed, but the federal prosecutors in New York who actually discovered the Weiner evidence forced his hand. Comey sat on it for a month. He had no intention of reopening the investigation, but federal prosecutors in New York kept pressing, saying, ‘What are you doing about this?’ Weeks went by. A month went by and finally, they were going to come out with this information, so Comey was forced to do it.”
Jarrett said James Comey was committed to exonerating Hillary Clinton of legal liability for her negligent handling of classified information: “[James Comey] had to somehow explain away her behavior. She had 110 classified documents on her unauthorized and unsecure server. He initially found that was gross negligence, which was right out of the statute, but he told his staff, ‘I want to clear her, anyway.’ … They changed the language. They sanitized his findings of fact … in order to absolve Hillary Clinton. … There is enough evidence to reach the inexorable conclusion that these people abused their position of power to target Trump and clear Clinton.”
Jarrett assessed Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email system as evidence of her monetization of political influence: “[Hillary Clinton] used her own email system. … She did it to hide the fact that she had a ‘FOR SALE’ sign on the door of her office as secretary of state for four years. … People who have a reason to hide things, hide things, and that’s what she was doing. President Obama knew it. He was using a pseudonym to continue the charade, and he was emailing her on unsecure devices even while she was overseas, clearly jeopardizing national security. Obama knew all about it, even though he claimed otherwise.”
Jarrett recalled the research he carried out to write his latest book: “I pored through tens of thousands of documents, government records, court records, even interrogatories that were filed in London in lawsuits against Christopher Steele. I read everyone’s testimony numerous times over. I read all the government’s reports.”
Jarrett spoke of Robert Mueller’s legal pursuit of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn: “[Robert Mueller] went after Michael Flynn. He basically ruined Michael Flynn’s life and left him penniless. Flynn had to sell his house. Mueller threatened to prosecute Flynn’s son under FARA and [with] other ridiculous allegations, so Flynn threw in the towel. What father wouldn’t do that — fall on his sword, even though he didn’t do anything wrong — to spare his son and his family?”
Jarrett added, “This is why I have said on more than one occasion that Americans should be afraid of their government, and that is a sad state of affairs.”
BOSTON, MA. - JULY 28: Sen. Elizabeth Warren speaks at a town hall meeting on July 28, 2018 in Boston, Massachusetts at The Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology. (Staff Photo By Patrick Whittemore/Boston Herald)
Despite the recent boost in the economy, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren isn’t budging on her position to increase taxes.
“Let’s be clear, the Republicans just gave away a trillion and a half dollars in tax cuts to billionaires and giant corporations,” Warren told the Herald yesterday. “Those tax decisions, they’re not about numbers, they’re about values. They’re about who you believe the government should work for.”
Warren denounced Trump’s tax cuts during a town hall event at the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology, even though experts have partially credited the measure with the recent GDP growth of 4.1 percent.
“I think the fundamental question is: Who has the economy improved for?” Warren said.
The tax cuts dropped income tax rates across the board, and slashed the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. Warren argued that wages are flatlining while the cost of living continues to go up.
Her criticism comes after an interview with CNBC last week, when she called for an overturn of Trump’s tax cuts but wouldn’t specify where she’d like to see them, refusing to rule out rates over 50 percent for the highest earners. Warren declined again yesterday to provide a number.
“That’s what negotiations are about,” Warren said.
State Rep. Geoff Diehl, a Republican challenger for Warren’s seat in the Senate, criticized her on the subject outside before the town hall started.
“We now have a very clear difference in November between the next U.S. senator who is going to either work to reduce taxes or who is going to support increasing taxes,” Diehl said. “I think the question I want to know and I’m hoping we find out very soon from Senator Warren is, how much should we be paying?”
There was a time in America when the rise in the stock market was accompanied by a rise in wages, Warren said, but that is no longer the case.
“It hasn’t been the case for about 30 years,” Warren said. “The stock market goes up and that’s great for people who own shares of stock … the lived experience of working families across this commonwealth and across this country is not reflected in a higher stock market.”
