Tragic Shootings
Outside of the two shooters that killed more than 30 people and injured scores more this weekend in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, the other biggest loser of the week was 2020 presidential candidate Robert "Beto" O'Rourke for blaming the killings on President Donald Trump.
This was a horrible political stunt by O'Rourke to garner votes.
Following right behind O'Rourke is another loser, Elizabeth Warren, who blamed the Fox News channel for giving "racists" a place to sound off their mindset. I guess all of the Democrats that appear as guest commentators on Fox News are also part of the "hate-for-profit machine," right?
More losers...
Let's not forget about Uncle Joe Biden, who also "stoked" the blame Trump flames, saying that the president "coddles white supremacists."
"We can’t fix a problem if we refuse to name it: white nationalism. An ideology emboldened by a president who stokes the flames of hatred and coddles white supremacists with messages of support. We must do what Trump won't: condemn this evil and eradicate it from our society."- Joe Biden
Julian Castro, while still calling Trump a "racist," but the blame solely on the El Paso shooter for the killing at that location.
Kamala Harris >>>
Sen. Bernie Sanders>>>
Question: Where were these same Democrats when President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder refused to condemn the Black Lives Matter movement that openly called for the assault and killing of white police officers? Couldn't that racist movement be called "Black nationalism?"

The nation should be outraged": the sheriff of El Paso after the attack that left 20 dead by Univision
El Paso Sheriff Richard Wiles , who oversees the jail in which the man who allegedly killed 20 people in a Walmart in El Paso, Texas , is being detained , described the racist attack in a Facebook post on Saturday night.
" This Anglo man came here to kill Hispanics, " he wrote. "I am outraged and you should be too. This whole nation should be outraged. Today, with all the serious problems we face, we are still confronted with people who will kill others for the sole reason of the color of their skin."
The sheriff's statements came after authorities reported investigating the attack as a hate crime and assessing the possible link of the suspect in the El Paso massacre with an alleged manifesto published on the Internet shortly before the attack.
"Right now we have a manifesto of this individual that indicates a possible hate crime," said El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen , this morning.
The brief, published shortly before the killing that left 20 dead and 26 wounded, speaks of "a Hispanic invasion of Texas" and warns of "replacing white people with foreigners," according to various local media.
THE REPUBLICAN
As horrible news comes in from today’s shooting in Texas, it is hard to imagine why anyone would resort to such senseless violence. Americans should not have to fear that schools, malls, concerts and regular outings are unsafe. It is a deeply sad day.

#Florida! Let’s give our kids and families a fighting chance ... if elected Republicans refuse to ban military-style weapons, the people of Florida must do it!
25 Arrested in Online Predator Sting by WSVN 7 Miami
SARASOTA, Fla. (WSVN) — Over two dozen men have been arrested in a four-day sting to find online predators.
The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrests of 25 people during Operation Intercept VI. Detectives said the suspects range in age from 19 to 65, and they all traveled with the intent of having sex with a child.
Deputies said the suspects responded to Internet-based ads, online apps and social media where they engaged in “sexually explicit written and verbal conversations.”
“Unfortunately, the internet allows for easy and anonymous access to children by strangers who are hiding behind a computer screen. That is why these operations are paramount to ensuring our most vulnerable population is safe and protected,” Sheriff Tom Knight said. “The men arrested during this operation managed to blend into society and attempted to prey on children by developing a trust through promises to exploit them for sexual purposes.”
Detectives also warned about
mobile apps that predators may use to target children. The list is an updated list from last year which initially consisted of nine apps. Detectives have now added an additional six apps.
The list includes Bumble, Snapchat, Kik, LiveMe, Holla, Whisper, Ask.fm, Calculator%, Hot or Not, MeetMe, Grindr, SKOUT, WhatsApp, TikTok and Badoo.
Two polls taken the day before and day of the most recent 2020 Democratic presidential primary debates-- Harvard/Harris and the POLITICO/ Morning Consult-- show Joe Biden up by 14 and 17 points, respectively.
The next round of polls could show a slip by Biden and Harris, and may possibly show a bump for Sens. Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren, who did well during their debate performances.
