In the last two years on his page, America’s Last Line of Defense, Blair had made up stories about California instituting sharia, former president Bill Clinton becoming a serial killer, undocumented immigrants defacing Mount Rushmore, and former president Barack Obama dodging the Vietnam draft when he was 9. “Share if you’re outraged!” his posts often read, and thousands of people on Facebook had clicked “like” and then “share,” most of whom did not recognize his posts as satire. Instead, Blair’s page had become one of the most popular on Facebook among Trump-supporting conservatives over 55.

Balt. State's Atty Mosby: Federal agents sent to Baltimore 'will face criminal charges'

BALTIMORE (WBFF) - Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby is warning that if the Trump administration sends federal agents to Baltimore and Philadelphia to "engage in the same illegal vigilante activities" as in Portland, they "will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Mosby, along with the district attorney for Philadelphia, wrote a column in The Washington Post today calling out the federal agents who have been sent to Portland, Oregon.
"We strongly believe that the actions in Oregon are illegal. Should the president proceed with his plan in our cities, his agents will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Mosby and Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner write in the column.
They call the federal agents an "Orwellian sight" and warn: "Should Trump send federal agents who engage in the same illegal vigilante activities, unlawfully assaulting and kidnapping people, they will face criminal charges from our offices. The authority of city officials to prosecute federal law enforcement officials is clear. While 28 U.S. Code 1442 provides that federal law enforcement officers may remove such charges to federal court in limited circumstances, it does not stop the local prosecution. We do not believe that the agents in Portland came close to meeting the standard required to prevent local prosecution, and officers exhibiting such behavior in our cities are similarly unlikely to meet this threshold."

Vets are patriots, standing up for America, our constitution & civil rights. These private militias are domestic terrorists.



A ‘Wall of Vets’ Joins the Front Lines of Portland Protests


Military veterans said they banded together to protect the free speech of demonstrators.


PORTLAND, Ore. — A week after federal officers in Portland, Ore., brutally struck a Navy veteran who said he had approached them simply to ask a question, a group of military veterans on Friday joined the front lines of the city’s growing protests.
Duston Obermeyer, a Marine Corps veteran, said he and other veterans were there to make sure federal officers did not infringe on the free speech of protesters, who numbered in the thousands.
“Our veterans are here specifically to support the rights of the protesters to protest,” said Mr. Obermeyer, who said he had deployed three times during a decade in the Marines.


The group of vets lined up in front of a fence erected outside the federal courthouse. They stayed together until a cloud of tear gas scattered much of the crowd.

Mike Pence’s Motorcade Crashes with Dump Truck in Pennsylvania and the Jokes Write Themselves

In an accident so infused with blessed symbolism that it renews our faith that there is a God that loves us and that it is possible that American saint, John Lewis, is already making “good trouble” in the heavens, Mike Pence’s motorcade, and his bus specifically, crashed – lightly – into a dump truck. It is almost so richly beautiful that one questions its truth. But, it’s true.


Vice President Mike Pence was involved in a “minor fender bender” with a dump truck while en route to a campaign stop in Pennsylvania on Thursday, according to a White House pool report. Pence, traveling by a Trump campaign bus, did not appear to have been injured in the crash, which occurred at a “very sharp curve” in rural Allegheny County, according to the report.
The campaign bus did not have any visible damages, though the dump truck’s driver side was “beat up,” the report said. The vice president then switched into a limousine and kept traveling toward a campaign rally in Greensburg.
But that wasn’t the only road trouble for the vice president’s motorcade. A couple of Pence’s motorcycle escort drivers got into another accident in nearby White Oak minutes later, according to the pool report.


There is that old cliche about these people couldn’t run a two-car funeral procession? …
Obviously, these things happen and it’s not on Pence or Trump or whatever. Haven’t we all had fender benders?
But when the fender bender is with a dump truck and one is Donald Trump’s Vice President, and it happens on the day Trump talks about moving the election, while a good troublemaker just danced into heaven, one has to wonder …
