Ann Coulter: The Left Has One More Argument: Kill Them! – Breitbart – Breitbart News

As soon as any conservative responds to Trumps belittling names for his rivals by erupting in a murderous rage, that will be a fantastically good point. But until then, its idiotic. Unlike liberals, conservatives arent easily incited to violence by words.

What were seeing is the following: Prominent liberals repeatedly tell us, with deadly seriousness, that Trump and his supporters are: Hitler, fascists, bigots, haters, racists, terrorists, criminals, and white supremacists, which is then followed by liberals physically attacking conservatives.

To talk about both sides being guilty of provocative rhetoric is like talking about both genders being guilty of rape.

Nearly every op-ed writer at The New York Times has compared Trump to Hitler. (The conservative on the op-ed page merely called him a proto-fascist.) If Trump is Hitler and his supporters Nazis, then the rational course of action for any civilized person is to kill them.

Thats not just a theory, its the result.

A few months ago, 38-year-old Justin Barkley shot and killed a UPS driver in a Walmart parking lot in Ithaca, New York, then ran over his body, because he thought he was killing Donald Trump. During his arraignment, Barkley told the judge: I shot and killed Donald Trump purposely, intentionally, and very proudly.

In the past year, there have been at least a hundred physical attacks on Trump supporters or presumed Trump supporters. The mainstream media have ignored them all.

Schoolchildren across the country are being hospitalized from beatings for the crime of liking Trump. In Pasco, Oregon, a 29-year-old Trump supporter was stabbed in the throat by a Hispanic man, Alvaro Campos-Hernandez, after a political argument.

Last month, the anti-jihad scholar Robert Spencer was poisoned in Iceland by a Social Justice Warrior pretending to be a fan, sending Spencer to the hospital.

Its become so normal for leftist thugs to assault anyone who likes Trump that, in Meriden, Connecticut, Wilson Echevarria and Anthony Hobdy leapt out of their car and started punching and hitting a man holding a Trump sign, rolling him into trafficright in front of a policeman.

If any one of these bloody attacks had been committed by a Trump supporter against a Muslim, a gay, a Mexican, a woman, or a Democrat, the media would have had to drop its Russia conspiracy theory to give us 24-7 coverage of the epidemic of right-wing violence.

The liberal response to this ceaseless mayhem toward conservatives is to produce a single nut, who fired a gun in the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washington, D.C., last December (hurting no one) to rescue children, after reading on obscure right-wing blogs that the restaurant hid a Democratic pedophilia ring. (Theyve also hyped a long list of hate crimes that were utter hoaxes.)

Congratulations, liberals! You got one. And some tiny number of girls raped men last year. QED: Both sexes have a rape problem.

Liberal aggression has ratcheted up dramatically since the dawn of Trump, as has the dehumanizing rhetoric, but epic violence from the left is nothing new.

We dont have to go back more than century to note that every presidential assassin and attempted presidential assassin who had a political motive was a leftist, a socialist, a communist, or a member of a hippie commune. (Charles J. Guiteau, Leon Czolgosz, Giuseppe Zangara, Lee Harvey Oswald, Lynette Squeaky Fromme, and Sara Jane Moore.)

Instead, well start in the 1990s. Al Sharptons speeches helped inspire people to murder two people in Crown Heights in 1991 and seven people at Freddies Fashion Mart in 1995. As scary as David Duke and Richard Spencer are, Ive never heard of anyone committing murder after listening to one of their speeches.

During the 2008 presidential campaign, among other acts of violence, Obama supporters Maced elderly volunteers in a McCain campaign office in Galax, Virginia. They threw Molotov cocktails at, stomped, and shredded McCain signs on a half-dozen families front yards around Portland. Another Obama supporter broke the McCain sign of a small middle-aged woman in midtown Manhattan, then hit her in the face with the stick.

(All this forJohn McCain!)

At the Republicans convention that year, hundreds of liberals were arrested for smashing police cars, slashing tires, and breaking store windows. Police seized Molotov cocktails, napalm bombs, and assorted firearms from the protesters. Elderly convention-goers were Maced and sent to the hospital after protesters threw bricks through the windows of convention buses. On the first day alone, the cops made 284 arrests, 130 for felonies.

That same year, California voters approved Proposition 8, banning gay marriage. In response, left-wing opponents of the measure ferociously attacked Mormon and Catholic churches, smashing glass doors, spray-painting the churches, and burning holy books on their front steps. The mayor of Fresno and his pastor received death threats serious enough to require around-the-clock police protection.

(Although the measure would not have passed without the support of black voters, liberals held black people blameless for their opposition to gay marriage. Mormons and Catholics were a much funner target.)

In 2009, one conservative had his finger bitten off at a Tea Party rally in Thousand Oaks, California, by a man at a MoveOn.org counter-protest. At a St. Louis Tea Party rally, an African-American selling anti-Obama bumper stickers was beaten up by two Service Employees International Union thugs, resulting in charges.

For the past few years, the media have enthusiastically promoted Black Lives Matter, hoping to galvanize the black vote. The mother of Michael Brown was even invited to appear on stage at the Democrats convention. But, as the British discovered with their Indian auxiliaries during the Revolutionary War, having ginned them up, they couldnt calm them down.

As a result of the medias tall tales about homicidal, racist cops, Black Lives Matter enthusiasts staged sneak attacks, executing two policemen in Brooklyn, five in Dallas, and three in Baton Rouge.

Liberals know damn well that their audience includes a not-insignificant portion of foaming-at-the-mouth lunatics, prepared, at the slightest provocation, to smash windows, burn down neighborhoods, physically attack, and even murder conservatives. But instead of toning down the rhetoric, the respectable left keeps throwing matches on the bone-dry tinder, and then indignantly asks, Are you saying conservatives dont do it, too?

No, actually. We dont.

Ann Coulter says Trump granted amnesty to nearly 100000 ‘Dreamers.’ Is that true? – PolitiFact

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter, a staunch supporter of Donald Trump during the presidential campaign, is calling him out for stalling on key immigration promises, including the deportation of hundreds of thousands of young immigrants.

Trump campaigned on a hardline stance against immigrants who violated immigration laws, promising to deport them and to "immediately terminate" programs created during the Obama administration. One of those programs, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), gives deportation reprieves to immigrants who came to the United States as children and have no legal authorization to live here, so-called "Dreamers."

As of June 8, DACA was still in effect, and the Trump administration continued to take applications, prompting Coulter to tweet: "HOW TRUMP LOSES THE NEXT ELECTION. Nearly 100,000 Dreamers Granted Amnesty In Trumps Opening Months."

Her tweet linked to an article from conservative news outlet The Daily Caller, headlined "Nearly 100,000 Dreamers Granted Amnesty In Trumps Opening Months" part of the text in Coulters tweet.

We wondered if her tweet was accurate. We found that the numbers are in line with data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, but whether the program grants "amnesty" is a matter of debate among experts.

DACA by the numbers

About a month into Trumps administration, Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly rescinded all previous enforcement priorities memos. But he kept in place a June 2012 memo that created DACA and a November 2014 memo for a separate deferred action program that would have benefitted immigrants in the country illegally who are parents of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.

On June 15, the Trump administration revoked the memo that benefitted the parents, but said DACA would remain in place. White House press secretary Sean Spicer on June 19 said DACA is under review but did not provide a timeline for a final determination.

Close to 800,000 immigrants have been approved for DACA, according to USCIS data released June 8. The latest numbers show approvals from 2012 up to March 31, 2017.

From January 2017 to March 2017, immigration officials approved more than 124,000 applications: 107,524 renewal cases plus 17,275 initial cases.

How many have been approved since Trump took office Jan.20?

The Daily Caller, citing USCIS numbers, reported that the Trump administration through DACA had "given amnesty to an estimated 98,000 illegal immigrants."

We reached out to The Daily Callers reporter, Alex Pfeiffer, who told us he reached the estimated 98,000 by dividing the total number of cases approved from January through March by the number of business days in that period, and removing days in January that Trump was not in office.

Pfeiffer said he only used business days in the calculation, because those are the only days that USCIS accepts DACA applications. USCIS told us DACA applications are not accepted online, only by mail, and that the lockbox where requests are sent typically accepts mail from Monday through Friday.

We did our own calculation using Pfeiffers parameters and also got about 98,000.

We asked USCIS for a month-by-month breakdown of approved applications, but did not receive the information by deadline.

Coulter did not respond to our inquiries sent via social media or her booking company.

DACA recipients granted amnesty?

Whether DACA beneficiaries are getting amnesty is a not a settled matter among experts.

Weve noted before that a legal definition of amnesty is "a blanket abolition of an offense by the government, with the legal result that those charged or convicted have the charge or conviction wiped out Amnesty is not a pardon as some believe, since a pardon implies forgiveness, and amnesty indicates a reason to overlook or forget the offenses."

The common reference for amnesty in modern American politics is the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, signed by President Ronald Reagan. The law paved the way for immigrants who were in the country illegally to become lawful permanent residents if they met certain requirements, including being in the country by Jan. 1, 1982.

Individuals granted DACA are protected from deportation for two years and are eligible for work permits. Recipients can apply to renew their DACA protection, but are not granted a lawful status.

DACA is a temporary and limited kind of relief that can be revoked by the president, said Kevin R. Johnson, an immigration law expert and dean of the University of California, Davis School of Law.

"DACA does not create a lasting amnesty and lawful permanent residence" as did the 1986 law, Johnson said.

Others see it differently.

Based on the benefits it offers, DACA is amnesty, said Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors low-immigration levels.

"I would define an amnesty as such whenever the law is set aside and the normal penalty is waived as a matter of policy," Camarota said. "The normal penalty for being in the U.S. illegally is removal."

Our ruling

In a tweet, Coulter said the Trump administration granted amnesty to "Nearly 100,000 'Dreamers.' "

Trump assumed office Jan.20. Data from USCIS shows more than 124,000 people have been approved for DACA from January to March.

Calculations of the total applications approved January through March that only include days Trump has been inoffice show that, at least, about 98,000 were approved.

Whether the program is amnesty is subject to interpretation. For that reason, we rate Coulters claim Mostly True.

Alabama public school assigns Ann Coulter and other right-wing … – Mic

Required reading lists are the bane of any high-schooler's summer. Now, they're also a new frontier for politicizing teens in favor of right-wing politics.

An alleged list of required summer reading at an Alabama public school surfaced online Wednesday, compelling students to read at least one book from a list of works by conservative pundits like Ann Coulter, Michael Savage and Mark Levin, as well as a book about abortion by Ronald Reagan. The list was allegedly assigned by Gene Ponder, who teaches government, economics and AP-level political science courses at Spanish Fort High School in Alabama.

Among the assigned books are titles like Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder: Savage Solutions; It's OK to Leave the Plantation; Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and their Assault on America; The Enemy Within: Saving America from the Liberal Assault on Our Churches, Schools and Military; and Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto.

The list appeared online via journalist Eoin Higgins, who obtained it from out-of-state students who were passing it around.

Of the 31 books listed, only a small handful Lies My Teacher Told Me and The Everything American Government Book, for example were not explicitly written by right-wing media pundits.

Gene Ponder isn't just a public school teacher, but a former candidate for lieutenant governor of Alabama who lost the Republican primary. During his campaign, he cited the power of the federal government to enforce its laws on noncomplying states the very means by which battles like school segregation and marriage equality were won as his reason for running.

Ponder told AL.com that this kind of law enforcement is tantamount to "coercion, intimidation and blackmail."

In an email statement to Mic, Baldwin County Alabama Public Schools communications director Terry Wilhite wrote, "Mr. Ponders reading list thats going around on social media has not been endorsed by the school or the school system."

"The list has been removed by the teacher," he added. "Baldwin County Public Schools has a process to vet and approve reading lists so that a variety of sources are used. I expect all employees to follow our processes, procedures and policies."

Ann Coulter’s fury with Trump growing daily no punches pulled in latest rebuke – TheBlaze.com

On Friday, The Blaze reported conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter posted a series of social media messages on her Twitter account criticizing President Donald Trump for failing to focus on shutting down the U.S.-Mexico border and choosing instead to prioritize issues Coulter feels should be pushed to the back of the line.

Coulters comments followed a speech Trump gave in Miami announcing changes to former President Barack Obamas controversial policies governing U.S. relations with Cuba.

I thought with Trump wed finally have a president helping OUR country, Coulter tweeted. So far: Syria, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Italy, China, N Kor. Today: Cuba.

At least Cubas in our hemisphere, Coulter wrote. How long can it be before he gets to America?

Right-leaning outlet Mediaite managed to get Coulter to comment on her Twitter tirade against Trump, and she didnt hold back.

It was a whole series today! Coulter told Mediaite. This jacka** is really ticking me off. And today Cuba? F***ing Cuba? If hed run a campaign promising to do everything hes done in the last 6 months, hed never have been elected. [Quote edited for language.]

After the Mediate story was published, Coulter claimed on Twitter she didnt intend for the quote about Trump to be published.

I wouldnt have cursed if Id known [Jonathan] Levine now works at @Mediaite, Coulter wrote. Thought I was emailing a friend. Now you know I REALLY mean what I tweet.

I have half-naked photos of @LevineJonathan. (Very cute!) Youd think I could speak openly in an email to him, Coulter wrote.

In May, Coulter penned a scathing rebuke of Trumps failure to close the border after agreeing to pass a budget that did not include funding for a border wall.

Apparently, Trumps fine with no wall and everything else in a bill straight out of George Soros dream journal if only the Democrats hadnt been so rude as to tell the public about it, Coulter wrote. When your main complaint is that the other side is gloating too much, maybe youre not that great a negotiator.

Yeah, sure, its only 100 days in, its an artificial deadline, the media is dying to say Trump has failed and so on, Coulter wrote.

Except: Planning for the wall should have begun on Nov. 9, and a spade should have been put into the earth to begin building it the day after Trumps inauguration, Coulter added. Now, its 100 days later, and we still dont have the whisper of a prospect of a wall.

Ann Coulter Turns Against Trump Over Border Wall: ‘I Thought He’d Help OUR Country’ – PJ Media

Conservative rabble rouser and 2016 Trump supporter Ann Coulter is suddenly turning against the man she supported during the GOP primariesand the presidential elections. Coulter, who told voters for months (if not years) that Trump was the man who would make America great again, is now suggesting that Vice President Mike Pence would make a better president.

The final straw that caused Coulter to go from prolific supporter to critic was the Trump administration's decision not to get rid of Obama's executive amnesty:

Yesterday, the Trump administration kept in place Obamas unconstitutional executive amnesty.

Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) June 16, 2017

She added:

This daily Trump melodrama is worth it ONLY if hes really going to build the wall, cut off Muslim refugees and deport illegals.

Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) June 16, 2017

That tweet about "the wall" apparently set her off even more:

Today's BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Miles completed yesterday--Zero; Miles completed since Inauguration--Zero. NEXT UPDATE TOMORROW.

Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) June 16, 2017

Anyone in a Southwestern state who strolls to the border & drops a brick will have done more to build the wall than @realDonaldTrump.

Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) June 16, 2017

Next, Coulter added that Pence could soon replace Trump as president if he embraced the building of Ann's precious wall:

If @VP Pence were smart, starting making noises about how he'd LOVE to build a wall. He'd be sworn in as president about 2 weeks.
