Rand Paul Drops the Mother of All Truth Bombs on Crooked killary.

Senator Rand Paul (R-K.Y.) dropped a devastating truth bomb when making a salient point about collusion in the 2016 presidential election. (The Daily Caller)
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says: "The only person whom he and others “actually know colluded with the Russians” is former Democrat presidential candidate killary clinton!"
Rand was on Fox News Wednesday morning clarifying his stance on Russia’s election meddling and the intelligence community.
President Trump faced broad outrage over comments he made during the Helsinki, Finland, summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin Monday. Trump was criticized for not being more forceful with the Russian leader and for not backing up U.S. intelligence findings of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
President Trump clarified his comments in a short statement at the White House on Tuesday.
When asked to explain the controversy, Rand said that the president thinks the Muller investigation is “tainted” by partisan Democrats that also colluded with Russia.
The Junior Senator from Kentucky was alluding to the anti-Trump Steele dossier paid for by the crooked clinton campaign.

Putin's Bombshell Claim About killary.
7/17/18 by: AAN Staff
Russian President Vladimir Putin made a startling allegation during his press conference with President Donald Trump yesterday that many overlooked due to the American president's questionable remarks which he walked back this afternoon.
Per WorldNetDaily:
“Vladimir Putin made a bombshell claim during Monday’s joint press conference with President Trump in Helsinki, Finland, when the Russian president said some "$400 million in illegally earned profits was funneled to the crooked clinton campaign by associates of American-born British financier Bill Browder" – at one time the largest foreign portfolio investor in Russia.
The scheme involved members of the U.S. intelligence community, said Putin, who he said ‘accompanied and guided these transactions.'”
The report explained the situation developed after an offer from Russia to allow special counsel Robert Mueller’s team to come to Russia for their investigation – as long as there was a reciprocal arrangement for Russian intelligence to investigate in the U.S.
Putin said, “For instance, we can bring up Mr. Browder, in this particular case. Business associates of Mr. Browder have earned over $1.5 billion in Russia and never paid any taxes neither in Russia or the United States and yet the money escaped the country. They were transferred to the United States. They sent a huge amount of money, $400,000,000, as a contribution to the campaign of killary Clinton!
Well that’s their personal case.”
Putin continued, “It might have been legal, the contribution itself but the way the money was earned was illegal. So we have solid reason to believe that some U.S. intelligence officers accompanied and guided these transactions. So we have an interest in questioning them.”
While Putin's gangster tendencies are not in any way compatible with representative democracy and his past actions inevitably cast doubt on his motives, the supposed acts he attributes to the clintons sound extremely plausible given the couple's history.

McConnell Issues Supreme Court Ultimatum.
7/20/18 by: AAN
GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has a sharp warning for Democrats, according to a new report from Politico:
The Senate majority leader privately told senior Republicans on Wednesday that if Democrats keep pushing for access to upwards of a million pages in records from President Donald Trump’s high court pick, he’s prepared to let Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote slip until just before November’s midterm elections, according to multiple sources.
Delaying the vote past September would serve a dual purpose for McConnell, keeping vulnerable red-state Democrats off the campaign trail while potentially forcing anti-Kavanaugh liberals to swallow a demoralizing defeat just ahead of the midterms.
Senators said McConnell believes the Democratic base will be
“deflated” if they raise hopes of defeating Kavanaugh only to lose just days before the election.
Democrats have no intention of backing down in their call for maximum transparency about Kavanaugh’s record, but the GOP is betting that they’ll start to sweat the Supreme Court timeline as the summer wears on.

Complaint Brings More Trouble For Crooked killary and Company.
7/19/18 by: AAN Staff
killary clinton's campaign, the Democratic National Committee, the DNC's law firm, and Christopher Steele – the former British spy behind the anti-Trump dossier – all received a devastating blow today after being hit with a 'Federal Election Complaint'.
The non-profit Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a charitable organization with a focus on liberty-minded issues and in particular freedom of speech, filed the lawsuit earlier today.
The charge outlined in Foundation's suit indicates that the accused hid payments made to and received by Fusion GPS, the firm that hired Steele to author his infamous dossier, in direct violation of finance laws.
While Democrats have long accused members of the Trump administration of colluding with the Russian government, the reality is that Democrats at the highest levels schemed with foreign agents in an increasingly desperate effort to defeat then-candidate Trump.
Per Breitbart:
“For over a year, Democratic officials have accused the Trump Administration of collaborating with foreign interlopers to influence the outcome of the 2016 Presidential election.
In reality, it was the clinton-backed Democratic machine that conspired with foreigners in violation of both federal campaign finance law and basic decency to manipulate the election,” it said in a complaint.
“The clinton campaign weaponized American intelligence and law enforcement communities — led by Democratic appointees of resident barry obuma —through false, malicious, wholly manufactured lies about the Republican nominee, now President, Donald J. Trump,” it said.
The 22-page complaint walks through in detail how crooked clinton and DNC officials colluded with Steele and anonymous former and current Russian officials to produce a dossier aimed at influencing the 2016 elections, and violated election laws while doing so!
The complaint describes how the clinton campaign hired Perkins Coie lawyer Marc Elias for the 2016 presidential election cycle. Elias then hired Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research on Trump. The clinton campaign and the DNC then funneled over $1 million through Perkins Coie to Fusion GPS. clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook personally approved the payment to Perkins Coie, the complaint said.
The lies, innuendo, and fabrications complied in the Steele dossier acted as a mechanism through which shadowy Russian figures could attempt to undermine Donald Trump's candidacy.
The Coolidge Reagan Foundation mantains that these alleged violations deserve an immediate and vigorous criminal investigation!

Charges Dropped Against Iowa Man By Prosecutor.
7/19/18 by: Guns Saving Lives
Yesterday, I wrote about the troubles of Mr. Michael Hodges. He was charged with attempted murder after he reportedly used his firearm in self-defense. He had a concealed carry permit and promptly went to police after the shooting.
By contrast, the other party in the shooting was using a stolen gun, hand no permit, and had already pled guilty to lesser charges stemming from the incident.
But a judge denied Hodges’s request for charges to be dismissed under Iowa’s Stand Your Ground law.
Luckily, the prosecutor in the case used his own discretion and dropped the charges.
A Cedar Rapids man who sought immunity under Iowa’s stand-your-ground law after authorities say he shot and wounded another man won’t go to trial — not thanks to the controversial law, but because the Linn County Attorney’s Office asked the court Wednesday to dismiss the charges.
“After a thorough review of the evidence, especially the video, I believe Michael Hodges Jr. was justified in drawing his weapon and shooting,” said Assistant County Attorney Monica Slaughter, who took over the case this week.
Surveillance video from downtown cameras, which captured the January shooting outside a bar, shows the other man — Zevon
Johnson of Urbandale — was the “primary aggressor,” she found.
Hodges drew his gun, which he had a permit to carry, in response, she concluded.
The finding contradicts a criminal complaint, another county prosecutor’s arguments in an earlier hearing and a few statements from 6th Judicial District Chief Judge Patrick Grady, who had denied Hodges’ immunity.
Slaughter, who was promoted to the felony division last week, said she wasn’t involved in Johnson’s case or plea. But after watching the video many times and slowing it down over and over again, she became convinced Johnson was the first to raise his gun. It would be difficult to see if she hadn’t replayed it many times, she added.
Slaughter said she couldn’t release the video to the public because it was evidence in Johnson’s case. He hasn’t been sentenced yet.
In the video, Slaughter said, Johnson is behind another, larger man but steps out and to the side of that man, Slaughter said. She said Johnson then immediately pulls out a gun from his pants or pocket, points it at Hodges and fires.
This fits with Johnson’s claims pretty well.
What people need to understand is that those who get concealed carry permits aren’t looking for trouble. We’re typically people who simply want to be ready when trouble comes looking for us, kind of like it came looking for Hodges that day.
Johnson broke several laws all at once, which shows he wasn’t exactly the most law-abiding. My guess is that the only reason he wasn’t prosecuted for stealing a firearm was that it was his mother’s gun and she opted not to press charges.
Using a gun in self-defense can be traumatic enough, but being prosecuted for it adds another layer of problems into the mix. Luckily, that aspect of Hodges life is now over and he can move on.
As noted in Wednesday’s post, Johnson and his friends had reportedly been harassing Hodges for some time prior to the shooting.
I suspect that’s come to an end as well.
While Hodges was justified in firing and I suspect wouldn’t use a gun unless provoked in a similar way again, that still has to play in the mind of Johnson and company.
I’m glad to see this win for the good guys!
Lee County, VA School Board Approves Armed Teachers.
7/19/18 By: Guns Saving Lives
Following the Parkland massacre, the anti-gun forces started pushing to ban certain weapons because they were all scary and stuff.
They were convinced they could change the laws of the nation to ban these guns. While a few states have changed some laws, mostly about ages of people who can buy rifles, they haven’t gotten nearly as much traction as they thought they would.
Meanwhile, schools are arming teachers–a pro-gun proposal that was widely mocked by anti-gun zealots–and a healthy rate.
The latest to do so is Lee County, VA.
A small school district in far southwestern Virginia is set to become the first in the commonwealth to arm teachers in classrooms — a decision that is prompting criticism from the state’s top law enforcement official.
The five-member Lee County School Board voted unanimously last week to approve a plan that will select an undisclosed number of teachers and staff members to carry concealed weapons or store them in safes on school property.
Applicants will undergo background screenings and psychological evaluations, and those who are selected will receive training this summer, school officials said. They said they expect the plan to be implemented by September for the 11 schools in the 3,200-student district.
“People more or less want something done, and this was the best we could do at this time,” said Michael Kidwell, chairman of the Lee County School Board. “This is a whole lot better than doing nothing.”
Just four of the district’s schools have school security officers, also known as school resource officers.
The school system cannot afford to hire more officers for the remaining schools, so arming teachers and other school employees was the “next best thing we could do,” Kidwell said.
To be clear, I don’t actually approve of putting teachers through additional screenings!
A Virginia carry permit should be more than enough to warrant a teacher carrying on campus.
That said, armed teachers will provide a significant deterrence effect. While school resource officers are great, they’re necessarily limited. There’s only one or two per school generally. That means they can only be in so many places at once and may actually become targets of a determined attacker.
But teachers? That’s something else.
By not knowing who is carrying, no individual teachers become targets simply because they’re carrying. No one would know, which means a rampage might begin and end so quickly that no one gets hurt.
Yes, that includes the shooter, though to be frank, I’m not worried about them.
No one thinks that teachers should become security ninjas who train for combat on a regular basis as part of their everyday jobs. We simply think teachers, as free citizens, should have the right to defend themselves. In the process, they’ll defend numerous students.
This isn’t rocket science, but I have little doubt that despite more and more districts arming teachers, we’ll see more and more backlash from anti-gun jihadis who continue to labor under the delusion that “Gun Free Zone” signs are magic talismans that ward off guns despite ample evidence to the contrary.
