Why the attacks on Senator Rubio?: https://t.co/UcKEgn5b7U via @YouTube— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) March 27, 2018
The wildest moment allowed by Tapper was when Parkland, Florida student Cameron Kasky smeared the Senator by equating him to the shooter that killed 17 of his classmates. And Tapper thanked him for all of it.“I’m sorry, I know I’m not supposed to do this, but I’m not going to listen to that. Senator Rubio, it’s hard to look at you and not look down the barrel on an AR-15 and not look at Nikolas Cruz, but the point is: You’re here and there are some people who are not,” Kasky spat.After Rubio answered his question, Kasky began to browbeat him for the money the NRA donated to his campaign, basically insinuating he was being bribed. “And this is about people who are for making a difference to save us and people who are against it and prefer money. So Senator Rubio, can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the NRA in the future,” he demanded as the crowd went crazy.
The Dems will soon dump Hogg and the marchers. The Dems have to preserve their Senate seats in Montana, North Dak, Missouri, Indiana and West Va. Gun control does not work for the Dems in those places as we learned with the pro-gun Dem who won PA-18.— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) March 27, 2018
"There's only one thing worse than an overstressed Army and Marine Corps, and that's a defeated Army and Marine Corps...We saw that in 1973. And I believe that this is a recipe that will lead to, sooner or later, our defeat in Iraq."This is Sen. McCain at his best, a leader who is not afraid to stand up to "feel good" polls.
Since March of 1998, there have been 298 people killed in school shootings in the United States, or 14.9 deaths a year.
Put another way, in a typical year in the United States in the past two decades, 35 states would not even have a single school shooting death, while the other 15 would have only one.
Of course even one is too many, but this is hardly the national epidemic of school-related violence that the Second Amendment-hating Left and partisan Hollywood celebrity supporters would make it out to be.
Question for every Democrat: Where do you stand on former Justice— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) March 28, 2018
Stevens' call for repeal of the 2nd Amendment? No more "free ride" on this issue.
According to Carol Davidsen, the former media director for Obama for America, Facebook gave the 2012 Obama campaign direct access to the personal data of Facebook users in violation of its internal rules, making a special exception for the campaign.If true, Mark Zuckerberg has big legal or PR problems. No matter what, it will be very difficult when Mark Zuckerberg goes before Congress. He will get questions about 2012 and 2016.
The Daily Mail, a British newspaper, reported that Davidsen said on Twitter March 18 that Facebook employees came to the campaign office and “were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side.”
The type of data that the Obama campaign was mining from Facebook is a more sophisticated version of the type of data that has long been provided by professional direct mail marketers – something pioneered by Richard Viguerie.
Viguerie, for example, has detailed personal data on “12 million conservative donors and activists” to whom his company sends letters and emails on behalf of his clients. He provides information to campaigns looking for votes and money, and to nonprofit and advocacy organizations raising funds.
Political campaigns must pay for these services. Under a Federal Election Commission regulation, giving a mailing list or something similar to a campaign is considered an “in-kind contribution.”
So if Facebook gave the Obama campaign free access to this type of data when it normally does not do so for other entities – or usually charges for such access – then Facebook would appear to have violated the federal ban on in-kind contributions by a corporation.
And the Obama campaign may have violated the law by accepting such a corporate contribution.
