Thomas Sowell:

Reading Colin Flahertys book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities. National Review.

"Colin Flaherty was the reporters reporter -- especially on tough stories. And he was recognized for it with more than 50 journalism awards from around the country.

"Now he has written a book about the toughest story of all: Racial violence."

"Flaherty has the goods: This is an important and penetrating book about a big problem. Read it. Pass it around. Send it to a local talk show host or, better still, a reporter."

"Lord knows they need it."

White Girl Bleed a Lot has gone viral.

A favorite of conservative voices.

"Flaherty digs up some great examples of officials denying or covering up black violence.

My favorite example was a school superintendent in Philadelphia who circulated "a pamphlet on how not to antagonize black students" to Asian students while the local papers were busying explaining that the violence had "no racial component." Right."

Brilliant. Could not put it down.

Colin Flaherty has become Public Enemy No.1 to the leftist media because of his research on black culture of violence.

It is official: Colin Flaherty is a great American. A wonderful book.

Bretibart.com: Prescient. Ahead of the News. Garnering attention and sparking important discussions.

At least author Colin Flaherty is tackling this issue (or racial violence) in his new book, White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.

A determined reporter, Colin Flaherty, broke ranks to document these rampages in a book titled, White Girl Bleed A Lot

"Uh - oh Now youve done it Mr. Flaherty. Youve spoken the (gasp) truth!"

"Get your copy of the book and spread the word. This tsunami of black racial violence is domestic terrorism. Burying our heads in the sand and ignoring this reality will only put ourselves and the lives of our loved ones in danger." "I refuse to be intimidated and terrorized. Join me!"

In White Girl Bleed A Lot, Colin Flaherty bravely goes where the major media dare not follow. In short, he tells the truth about Americas otherwise unspoken epidemic of black on non-black crime. What makes this otherwise grim saga so readable is Flahertys magical sense of humor. Among contemporary authors only Flahertys fellow alchemist Mark Steyn has a comparable ability to transform dread into gold.

In conservative media, Colin Flaherty has catalogued the Knockout Game.

Colin Flaherty is at the epicenter of the Knockout Game.

"This is a challenging book. An interesting and powerful and ultimately persuasive book by a great American writer not afraid to look at one of the most thought about but unspoken features of American life."

"Colin Flaherty is a strong favorite."

"Great book by a great guy."

Donald Trump - The New York Times - nytimes.com

President Donald Trump's travel ban had been in effect for less than 24 hours when, 10 days ago, he offered a smiling review from the Oval Office.

Indeed, millions of Americans with access to television and internet, and the thousands protesters at international arrivals terminals around the country, were bearing witness to the effects of his executive order.

"(Trump) said the press doesn't tell you that, doesn't like to report that -- the press doesn't like to tell it like it is," said CNN senior media correspondent Brian Stelter. "In fact, the murder rate is not at a 45 year high. It has ticked up slightly in the last couple years, that's cause for concern, but the murder rate is much lower than it was, for example, in the 70s, 80s or 90s."

In a tweet on Monday, Trump offered his worldview in stark terms.

"Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election," he said. "Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting."

In the reality described by Trump, a federal judge who ruled to halt the administration's travel ban would, along with the entire "court system," be responsible for a potential terrorist attack.

The dynamic in the White House mimics Trump's personality, one former campaign official told CNN. He is someone who can lose interest quickly and turn to the next issue without much thought.

It's most apparent on Twitter, where the President will bounce between a variety of often unconnected agenda items and personal grudges.

Speaking on Monday, Trump built on this construction, placing the press in cahoots with the judiciary -- another willful enabler of global terrorism.

"You've seen what happened in Paris and Nice," Trump said during a visit to US Central Command headquarters in Tampa. "All over Europe, it's happening. It's gotten to a point where it's not even being reported, and in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that."

Those reasons -- whatever the President thinks they may be -- remained unspoken.

What "you understand" could be anything, though the clear implication was that a monolithic media dedicated to repelling Trump, and thwarting the popular will, had launched a campaign to hide reality and cover-up for terrorists. For fans of the conspiracy theorist radio host Alex Jones and his Infowars, the fundamental argument was familiar.

Pressed to provide material proof of his claims, the White House released on Monday evening a list of 78 attacks it said "did not receive adequate attention from Western media sources." Among the incidents listed were the killings in Orlando and San Bernardino, California -- two bloody domestic attacks that received wall-to-wall coverage online, on television and in newspapers and magazines for days on end.

Over the past week, top Trump aide Kellyanne Conway has also muddied the waters in what increasingly appears to be a concerted effort to stoke anxiety over the presence and entrance of refugees into the US.

The "Bowling Green" yarn was delivered in the midst of a pitched debate over Trump's travel ban and suspension of the US refugee program. Days earlier, the White House -- acting within their rights -- had fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, a holdover from the Obama administration after she instructed federal attorneys not to defend the executive order in court.

The attack fit into a consistent narrative of undermining or seeking to delegitimize political opponents or groups operating outside the administration's narrative framework.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer kept up the drumbeat on Monday, telling Fox News that nationwide protests against Trump and the travel ban were being organized and subsidized by some unnamed benefactor.

"Protesting has become a profession now," he said, without proof. "They have every right to do that, don't get me wrong, but I think that we need to call that what it is: it's not these organic uprisings that we've seen through the past several decades."

He offered no evidence and there would have been little time for protesters to plot the demonstrations; Trump's executive order was, according to the President's own tweet, purposefully delivered as a surprise.

"If the ban were announced with a one week notice," he wrote, "the 'bad' would rush into our country during that week."

With a grassroots protest movement dismissed, the nation's highest ranking law enforcement officer's loyalty questioned and the media accused of conspiring to cover up terror attacks, the Trump administration's reality is on a collision course with a divided nation.

Donald Trump's universe of alternative facts - CNN

In a White House not known for specifics, Andrew Bremberg is President Trumps details guy.

Bremberg, an assistant to the president and director of the Domestic Policy Council, has kept a relatively low profile compared with other Trump senior advisers who have dominated headlines.

This belies the influence of the 38-year-old former senior aide to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnellMitch McConnellMLK Jrs daughter gives tips on opposing Trump Santorum: Senate rebuking Warren not a big deal #ShePersisted goes viral after Senate votes to silence Warren MORE (R-Ky.), who already has penned an important memorandum for Trump on the subject of immigration.

The leaked memorandum signaled a potential harder line to come by Trump, stating that the countrys immigration laws must ensure the United States does not welcome individuals who are likely to become or have become a burden on taxpayers.

It also follows through on a promise made by Trump during the campaign to delve deep into work visa programs.

Brembergs thick resume is actually in healthcare policy. His past roles include serving as an assistant secretary for public health during the George W. Bush administration and those who know him believe that will be his main focus in a Trump White House wrestling with how to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

While serving on Scott Walkers presidential campaign, Bremberg was responsible for helping to shape the Wisconsin governors healthcare plan.

This is his issue, said one of Brembergs former colleagues on the Walker campaign. Hes going to be one of the most interesting people to watch when it comes to what theyre going to do with ObamaCare, because hes so familiar with the policy and because he knows all these key players.

Bremberg did not speak to The Hill for this story.

Late last month, during a GOP retreat in Philadelphia, Bremberg was the Trump representative on a panel with lawmakers including Sen. Lamar AlexanderLamar AlexanderDonald Trumps details man Report: Four GOP senators mum on Trumps Labor pick Top GOP senators: Past employment of illegal immigrant won't sink Trump's Labor pick MORE (R-Tenn.) and Rep. Kevin BradyKevin BradyDonald Trumps details man Trump campaign adviser: Border tax unlikely to be enacted Republican lawmakers face rising anger at town halls MORE (R-Texas).

The interaction with two of the lawmakers who will be at the forefront of congressional efforts to take action on healthcare suggests the large role Bremberg will play.

In the closed-door meeting, Bremberg stopped shy of detailing Trumps plans, though he emphasized that the executive order signed by Trump the day he took office allows his political appointees to begin taking apart the Affordable Care Act through executive authority.

Brembergs knowledge of policy details was something that drew Trump to the New Jersey native. He was initially hired by Trumps campaign to work on healthcare policy as part of the transition team. He stands out among a White House team filled with campaign veterans such as Conway and chief of staff Reince Priebus.

His experience in policymaking process has got to be important to them, said one former colleague. There arent too many people in Trumps senior circle who have done this before.

Yuval Levin, the editor of National Affairs magazine and a longtime friend and former colleague of Bremberg, said the White House advisers health specialty and his broad domestic and economic policy expertise make him indispensable.

Andrew is a smart, policy-savvy, full-spectrum conservative, Levin said.

Before taking on the role, Bremberg had served as the policy director for the 2016 Republican Party platform,where he had ironed out the policy differences between GOP candidates and their supporters.

At the time, Republicans who were worried about Trumps candidacy felt reassured by Brembergs presence, according to sources familiar with the process.

It was encouraging to a lot of people who were a little nervous about Trump, said one source, adding that they knew Bremberg could preserve the peace in the party.

They knew the traditional principles would be preserved, the source said.

Bremberg graduated from Franciscan University of Steubenville, an orthodox Catholic college in Ohio, which one friend said helped solidify his conservatism. He went on to receive his law degree from Catholic University and is what one friend called a classic Reagan conservative.

In a West Wing full of big personalities, Bremberg is more muted and less flashy, say those who know him.

For years,evenbeforethe time he served as counsel on nominations to McConnell, through his work inWisconsinto now, he has drivenaround in abeat-up 1999 Chevy Malibu with no air conditioning, colleagues and friends say.

They remember that he would often live by his policy beliefs, teaching his four children the value of money.

Once, while eating doughnuts with his kids, he taught them about taxes by telling them they owed him a bite of each one, dubbing it a tax.

They started understanding the tax system because they didnt want to share with him, one former colleague remembered.

He arrives at his West Wing office at7 a.m. every day,according to a White House aide. And those who know him say hes typically the last one out of the office, sometime between11p.m. and 1 a.m.

One friend said Bremberg and his wife view his job at the White House as a deployment.

This isnt easy. Its a huge sacrifice, the friend said. A guy like him would have many opportunities to do something more lucrative. But hes one of those guys who is more motivated by the mission.

Donald Trump's details man - The Hill

WASHINGTON A federal appeals court is expected to rule on President Donald Trump's U.S. travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries as soon as Wednesday, one day after questioning whether the order unfairly targeted people over their religion.

The temporary ban faced tough scrutiny on Tuesday by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is weighing a challenge to the order.

During a more than one-hour oral argument, the panel pressed a government lawyer over whether the Trump administration's national security argument was backed by evidence that people from the seven countries posed a danger.

Judge Richard Clifton, a George W. Bush appointee, posed equally tough questions for a lawyer representing Minnesota and Washington states, which are challenging the ban. Clifton asked if a Seattle judge's suspension of Trump's policy was "overbroad."

The 9th Circuit said at the end of Tuesday's session that it would issue a ruling as soon as possible. The court earlier had said it would probably rule this week. Ultimately the matter is likely to go to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The appeals court is looking, however, at whether the Seattle court had the grounds to halt Trump's ban, while the case challenging the underlying order proceeds.

Trump's Jan. 27 order barred travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering for 90 days and all refugees for 120 days, except those from Syria, whom he would ban indefinitely.

Trump, who took office on Jan. 20, has defended the measure as necessary for national security.

The order, the most divisive act of Trump's young presidency, sparked protests and chaos at U.S. and overseas airports. Opponents also assailed it as discriminatory against Muslims in violation of the U.S. Constitution and applicable laws.

A federal judge in Seattle suspended the order last Friday, and many travelers who had been waylaid by the ban quickly moved to travel to the United States while it was in limbo.

Trump was criticized for later questioning the "so-called judge," and on Wednesday tweeted: "If the U.S. does not win this case as it so obviously should, we can never have the security and safety to which we are entitled. Politics!"

The legal fight ultimately centers on how much power a president has to decide who cannot enter the United States and whether the order violates a provision of the U.S. Constitution that prohibits laws favoring one religion over another, along with relevant discrimination laws.
