Karl Rove on Guns – “Repeal The 2nd Amendment” to Stop Gun Violence

Karl Rove, like many other Republicans, have been a staunch advocate for more guns. The idea these people always put forward in times of shootings and massacres, is the only solution to end gun violence is to have more guns on the streets. Well after the most recent shootings in South Carolina where 9 people died at the hands of a racist 21-year-old, Karl Rove appears to have had a change of heart.

Appearing on Fox News’, Rove was interviewed by Chris Wallace and was asked about the recent gun violence in South Carolina, and his response appeared to be a step away from his usual more guns is the answer stance, and a step towards more common sense gun policies.

WALLACE: How do we stop the violence?

What do you think?

ROVE: I wish I had an easy answer for that, but I don’t think there’s an easy answer

What do you think?

We saw an act of evil. Racist, bigoted evil, and to me the amazing thing is that it was met with grief and love. Think about how far we’ve come since 1963. The whole weight of the government throughout the South was to impede finding and holding and bringing to justice the men who perpetrated the [Birmingham] bombing.

What do you think?

And here, we saw an entire state, an entire community, an entire nation come together, grieving as one and united in the belief that this was an evil act, so we’ve come a long way.

What do you think?

Now maybe there’s some magic law that will keep us from having more of these. I mean basically the only way to guarantee that we will dramatically reduce acts of violence involving guns is to basically remove guns from society, and until somebody gets enough “oomph” to repeal the Second Amendment, that’s not going to happen.

This Comment on Dylann Roof’s Facebook Photo Has Gone Viral – PIC

Moments after it was known that Dylann Roof committed the horrendous act of murdering nine people in a South Carolina Church, people took to the internet to learn more about the racist 21-year-old. Facebook was naturally one avenue for information on the killer and before his Facebook profile was eventually taken down, one man found Roof’s profile and left the only comment on this picture of Dylann Roof:

The man who left the sole comment on Roof’s photo is Marcus Stanley, a 30-year-old who, according to his website, was also shot eight times in the past.

Below is Marcus’ comment on Roof’s picture:

South Carolina Families to Dylann Roof – “We Forgive You” – Video

He sat in their midst in a South Carolina Church for over an hour as they showed him love and held a Bible study. Then, Dylann Roof stood up and murdered nine human beings in Church as they worshiped God. The last thing these people heard from their murderer was his racist rants about his hate for black people.

But the love and the forgiveness of the families of the nine is outstanding and something admirable. This forgiveness is something the rest of this nation and the world can learn from. The killer, Dylann Roof, is shown on video in his bail hearing when one by one, the remaining families and friends of those he murdered, forgave him for murdering their loved ones.

LAPD Officers Arrest Man After Shooting Him in The Head – Video

Reports say the California man flogged down the officers. Four shots then rang out from the officers, at least one of those shots apparently striking the man in his head.

“The officers stopped to investigate and see what was needed,” LAPD spokesman Lt John Jenal told NBC Los Angeles. “This person then extended their arm, which was wrapped in a towel.”

The officers, who say they believe he had a gun in his hand, told him to drop his weapon, then, according to onlookers, fired four shots. At least one of the round appears to have struck the suspect in the head, as evidenced by this video, which depicts the officers rolling him over to handcuff him after he has collapsed. No officers were shot.

Then man is now hospitalized in critical condition.

Jon Stewart on Donald Trump – He is a “batsh*t billionaire” – Video

Donald Trump is running for president. Have you heard? He made a “speech” about it yesterday. It’s the kind of speech that would make Sarah Palin proud. This “speech” has been described by Jon Stewart as “the most beautifully ridiculous jibber-jabber ever to pour from the mouth of a batshit billionaire.”

Stewart goes on…

“America’s id is running for president! This speech was so fucked up that in the middle of it, all the liquid in his body tried to escape from the corner of his mouth.”

Watch.

No Joke – Mitt Romney Thinks Hillary Clinton Fake, Cannot Be Trusted – Video

Now, when Mitt Romney ran for president the first time and got defeated, then ran the second time and got defeated, defeat was not the only thing that stuck to Mr. Romney, his uncanny ability to flip flop and be untrustworthy also stuck. So with that uncanny ability to be fake, Romney is calling out Hillary Clinton as being fake, just just like he is.

“When you see her on a stage or when she comes into a room full of people, she’s smiling with her mouth but her eyes say, ‘Where’s my latte?'” Romney said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“It just doesn’t suggest she believes everything she’s saying,” he continued, calling her performance “jarring.”

Romney faced similar criticism during his own runs for President for flip-flopping on multiple hot-button issues, struggling to connect with working-class voters, and saying things like he enjoys hunting “small varmints, if you will.”

“At this stage, what does she really believe?” he said on Monday. “I think people wonder, can they really trust Hillary Clinton?”

Fifteen Days In June

Ready for the summer? Well hold on because the next 15 days will be key to determining the shape of the presidential race.

First up is Jeb Bush. The smart one. The able one. The one who thinks through his actions before taking them. The one with the long-term policy proposals that are not exactly aligned with the conservative wing of the Republican Party. The one who is daddy’s favorite.

The one whose brother absolutely ruined the Bush name. Dang.

Jeb is not a bad candidate and he’s making an effort to separate himself from George W. The extent to which he can do that will determine whether he successfully fends off more base-friendly candidates like Scott Walker, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. Right now, it looks like many Republicans are wary and might be looking elsewhere. If Jeb can raise enough money and scare off some other candidates, he can win, but he’ll have to convince many right wing voters of his commitment to their cause.

Governor Chris Christie is also getting ready to announce his run fresh off a victory courtesy of a New Jersey State Supreme Court ruling in his favor on the landmark state worker’s pension and benefits bill he negotiated with the Democratic legislature in 2011. He’s running on his ability to work with the opposite party, but the problem is that he’s repudiated his own law and the court ruled it to be unconstitutional. Now the Democrats have sworn not to negotiate further with him. Will he mention any of this?

Of course not. Christie will shamelessly repeat that he can work with Democrats, but that train has left the station. Plus, he has the Bridgegate scandal to answer to and a problem making himself stand out from the rest of what will probably be a 15 candidate field. His first job is to make sure that he’s polling high enough to be included in the first GOP debate in August. He’s good in debates and in front of crowds, so I wouldn’t count him out yet. But he’s got a tough race ahead of him.

Hillary Clinton also began her push for the presidency yesterday. She gave a good speech and is clearly focusing on the middle class and income inequality. She’s a bit farther to the left than her husband, but the Democratic Party is also more liberal these days. Her problem is similar to Jeb’s in that we know a great deal about her and her past. She has a clearer road to the nomination, but she does need to be mindful about giving too much to the Sanders-Warren wing of the party.

And don’t forget that we have two big Supreme Court decisions yet to be announced between now and June 30 on marriage equality and ACA subsidies. By July 1 we’ll have a good idea of how the candidates will need to adjust their messages in light of whatever the court decides.

Republican Official Blame Abortions for California Drought

Assemblywoman Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, was one of several Republicans calling for lawmakers to reject a measure to overhaul California's enterprise zone program, during the Assembly session at the Capitol Thursday, June 27, 2013, in Sacramento, Calif. The measure AB93 by Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield, D-Woodland Hills, and supported by Gov. Jerry Brown, failed to pass on the two initial attempts, but was passed on the third vote.

And you thought you had heard it all.

While speaking at the California ProLife Legislative Banquet last week, California Assemblywoman Shannon Grove (R) suggested a theory that the state’s worst drought in 1,200 years may be divine retribution for California providing women with access to abortions, RH Reality Check reported.

“Texas was in a long period of drought until Governor Perry signed the fetal pain bill,” she told the audience. “It rained that night. Now God has his hold on California.”

Grove was likely referring to House Bill 2, RH Reality Check noted, a Texas abortion bill banning abortions 20 weeks after fertilization, four weeks earlier than the standard set by Roe v. Wade.

Grove did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation that she made the statement at the event, but she elaborated on her theory in a Facebook comment.

“I believe –and most Americans believe –that God’s hand is in the affairs of man, and certainly was in the formation of this country,” she wrote. “Is this drought caused by God? Nobody knows. But biblical history shows a consequence to man’s actions.”

Listen To Ann Coulter Say “women should not have the right to vote” – Audio

In the audio recording below, a famous Republican voice explained her position on women voters – they shouldn’t be allowed to vote at all.

“If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat [sic] president,” the Republican said. She then goes on to explain that taking away women’s right to vote is a “personal fantasy” of hers.

Texas Police to 7 Year Old – No Permit, No Lemonade Stand

And the police Chief is standing by the decision to shut down the stand, telling the local news that his officers must enforce the rules.

The two girls, 7 year old Zoey Green and her 8 year old sister Andria, ventured outside with their pitcher of lemonade on Monday, when they were approached by the Overton cop eager to protect and serve the community from these ruthless thugs.

The cop is heard on a recording telling the mother of the two lawbreakers that they needed a permit to operate the stand.

Apparently realizing the ridiculousness of the cop’s action, the town waived the $125 permit fee when a friend went to inquire about a permit. The girls ended up giving away their lemonade for free.

Way to protect and serve Texas!
