Wasserman Shultz: Caught colluding with Clinton
On the eve of the Democratic National Committee’s presidential nominating convention, party boss Debbie Wasserman Shultz announced her resignation. Apparently, Wikki Leaks’ release of about twenty thousand emails, many of them hers, showing the party conspired with Hillary Clinton’s campaign to sandbag Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid was just too much baggage to carry. Sanders had often accused D N C officials of colluding with Clinton’s campaign. Looks like he was right! And, in a move that’s bound to make Texas Senator Ted Cruz look like an even bigger jackass, Sanders, who didn’t get beat fair and square like Cruz did, issued a statement saying Shultz had made the right decision for the the party and that quote
Sanders: Still backing Hillary
While she deserves thanks for her years of service, the party now needs new leadership that will open the doors of the party and welcome in working people and young people. The party leadership must also always remain impartial in the presidential nominating process, something which did not occur in the 2016 race.

Michael Brown was shot while attempting to kill a police officer. And Sandra Bland committed suicide in her jail cell. The others were killed in non-law enforcement related incidents.
Cops are the victims, not their attackers
In response to the lineup, the Web site Blue Lives Matter wrote quote: “When somebody tries to murder a cop, they don’t get to be called a victim because the officer protected themselves from being murdered. Labeling these people as victims just continued to perpetuate the false narrative of Black Lives Matter and continues to contribute to officers getting killed.

insulted by the exclusion of police widows and family members as speakers at the convention…It is sad that to win an election Mrs. Clinton must pander to the interests of people who do not know all the facts, while the men and women they seek to destroy are outside protecting the political institutions of this country. Mrs. Clinton you should be ashamed of yourself if that is possible.
