...Cincinnati police Officer Sonny Kim, 48, a husband and father of three boys, died after being shot while responding to a call of a gunman acting erratically Friday morning...
Kim, a 27-year veteran of the Cincinnati Police Department also worked as the owner and main karate instructor at the Japanese Karate-Do dojo in Symmes Township.“CPD lost one of our best today," Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell said. "We lost a brother, but right now my heart is broken more for his three boys who lost a father and his wife who lost a husband.”
City Manager Harry Black called Kim a hero.
“Our thoughts our prayers go to Police Officer Kim’s family and fellow police officers. … Police Officer Kim dedicated himself to serving and protecting the city for 27 years. … He has had a decorated career. … Officer Kim is a hero.”
Councilman Yvette Simpson said Kim exemplified what it means to be a community officer.
Kim’s record with the force paints a picture of an officer who had great initiative and resolve and also care for the public... Some of the comments in his file of particular note include instances where Kim apprehended a man armed with a knife, peacefully resolved a standoff situation and rescuing a man who jumped from an I-275 bridge.
City officials sent out a list of his commendations including the following:

QOTD: "Dylann Roof, the alleged gunman authorities say is responsible for killing nine people in a predominantly black Charleston, South Carolina, church Wednesday night, had been “planning something like that for six months,” according to his roommate.
Dalton Tyler, who said he has known Roof for seven months to one year, said he saw the white, 21-year-old suspect just last week.
“He was big into segregation and other stuff,” Tyler said. “He said he wanted to start a civil war. He said he was going to do something like that and then kill himself.”
Tyler said he met Roof, a Lexington, South Carolina native, through a good friend. He also said Roof’s parents, with whom he said the suspect was “on and off,” had previously bought him a gun but never allowed him to take it with him until this past week." --The Right Scoop

Coming Attractions at the Supreme Court Theater of the Absurd
Obama-linked Extremist Group Publishes "HIT LIST" of Anti-Sharia Females in the U.S.
The Obama-tied leftist group that helped a gunman commit an act of terrorism against a conservative organization has assembled a starter kit for Islamists to attack American women who refuse to comply with Sharia law, the authoritarian doctrine that inspires Islamists and their jihadism.
It’s the summer special from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an extremist nonprofit that lists conservative organizations that disagree with it on social issues on a catalogue of “hate groups.” A few years ago a gunman received a 25-year prison sentence for carrying out the politically-motivated shooting of the Family Research Council (FRC) headquarters after admitting that he learned about the FRC from the SPLC “hate map.” Prosecutors called it an act of terrorism and recommended a 45-year sentence.Now the SPLC, which has conducted diversity training for the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ), is targeting female bloggers, activists and television personalities who refuse to comply with Sharia law which is rooted in the Quran. The European Court on Human rights has repeatedly ruled that Sharia is “incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy” yet politically-connected radical Muslim groups—such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)—keep pushing to implement it in the United States and the movement has gained steam.
Among those resisting this effort publicly are the high-profile women being targeted by the SPLC. Some of them are colleagues or friends of Judicial Watch and now they must fear for their safety simply for practicing their rights under the U.S. Constitution. The new hate list is titled Women Against Islam/The Dirty Dozen and includes illustrations and detailed information on all the women, who are branded “the core of the anti-Muslim radical right.” The new SPLC hate brochure further targets them by claiming that they’re “a dozen of the most hardline anti-Muslim women activists in America.”
TRY AND CONTAIN YOUR SURPRISE: Obama Lies, Says Mass Shootings Don’t Happen in Other Countries
Already rushing to the microphones to try and use the murders in a South Carolina church to undermine the U.S. Constitution and push his loser gun control ideas, Barack Obama lied today saying that the US is the only country with mass murders.
During his press conference today Obama said, “This kind of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.”
But this simply isn’t true. We have but to look to France only a few months ago when Islamists murdered 12 members of the staff of Charlie Hebdo magazine.
But there have been many, many other examples of mass killings abroad.
Here is just a partial list of other mass murders in foreign countries…
UNEXPECTEDLY: Obama Excitedly Leaps to Politicize the Tragic Charleston Church Shooting
Barack Obama turned a beautiful speech into another politicized attack on gun owners and white people.
He blamed the Second Amendment in part.
“I’ve had to make statements like this too many times. Communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this too many times…Once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun.”
“Let’s be clear, at some point we will have to reconcile with the fact this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.” [That’s blatantly untrue. Where’s the coverage of people with guns who stop mass slayings? Check this out on The Gateway Pundit.]
He got in his dig at Republicans and other Second Amendment supporters, insinuating we are responsible for this horrible slaughter.

QOTD: "When a group of House conservatives voted last week to kill a trade bill favored by President Obama, House Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders who support the measure steamed. Representative Mick Mulvaney (R., S.C.) celebrated the revolt as a coming-of-age moment for rebel backbenchers.
“Yesterday will be the day that we look back at as the day that conservatives finally started getting organized in the House,” he wrote in a note to the Spartanburg Tea Party.
Led by Representative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), a platoon of conservatives demanded that Boehner agree to a series of concessions in exchange for their support for so-called Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), legislation that would give President Obama wider latitude to negotiate free-trade agreements. When GOP leadership ignored them, Jordan and his allies tried to kill the bill on a procedural vote — a rare step made more surprising by the lawmakers’ general support for free trade. It was the boldest attempt yet from the recently formed House Freedom Caucus, which Jordan chairs, to counteract Boehner’s perceived tendency to wilt in the face of Democratic pressure." --Joel Gehrke

5 QUESTIONS EVERY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SHOULD ANSWER: Islamonazi Edition
The recent news that US airstrikes may have killed two senior al Qaeda leaders – including al Qaeda’s general manager – once again raises the question of the overall effectiveness of a strategy of attrition against the group. Certainly there have been some significant blows to al Qaeda, and most recently to al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen. The US has taken four senior leaders off the battlefield in Yemen in the past six months, but there has been no obvious slowdown in al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s activities there. Even as the US sees success in degrading al Qaeda’s leadership, al Qaeda has been able to grow and expand its insurgency across the Muslim-majority world.
Al Qaeda’s expansion is occurring even as the Islamic State in Iraq and al Sham (ISIS) strengthens at an alarming rate. Both groups are exploiting conditions within the Muslim-majority world advanced in part by America’s current foreign policy positions. A muddled approach to the region has left the US with few strong allies there and even fewer good options for partners against the escalating extremist threat.
Newly-announced presidential candidate Jeb Bush aptly described the state affairs abroad: “crises uncontained, violence unopposed, enemies unnamed, friends undefended, and alliances unraveling.” The picture is bleak. Al Qaeda and ISIS have seized the momentum and are pushing forward. Any prospective 2016 presidential candidate should seek to answer these questions when considering how to reverse the tide.
THE OPM HACK: Intel Community Warned White House of Impending "Digital Pearl Harbor"
Don’t say we get it wrong 100% of the time. This year’s US government threat assessment by the entire intelligence community again placed the cyber and counterintelligence threat above that of terrorism.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Katherine Archuleta rubs her eyes, as she testifies before a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing on the data breach of OPM computers, on Capitol Hill in Washington June 16, 2015. Reuters.
More worrisome than the acts themselves is the increasingly political calculus and rationale behind these cyber penetrations—and the failure of deterrence by the US.
The OPM breach is the perfect example. In a warning act of déjà vu, the 2015 intelligence report also noted the vulnerability of OPM’s systems specifically based on a similar attack last year. In explaining the costs of data theft, the threat assessment referenced earlier unauthorized computer intrusions on the networks of the Office of Personnel Management as well as its contractors, both of whom are “involved in processing sensitive [personally identifiable information] related to national security clearances for Federal Government employees.” Unfortunately for those current and former federal workers and military servicemembers whose information was hacked and stolen, the government cannot say it didn’t warn us.
DOING THE RAPING AND MOLESTING AMERICANS WON’T DO: Obama DHS freed thousands of violent illegal aliens
Thousands of illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes—including rape, child molestation and kidnapping—have been released in the United States by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the agency doesn’t bother keeping track of the alien convicts.
The DHS agency responsible for removing dangerous illegal aliens, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), simply releases sex offenders when they complete their criminal sentence and fails to monitor or force them to register with local authorities in the communities where they resettle. The incredulous story of this outrageous system comes via an investigative series published this week in a Boston newspaper that sued the government for the records. It includes a database of criminals that one former federal prosecutor calls “chilling.” The offenders are “dangerous and predatory individuals who should not be prowling the streets,” the prosecutor says in the article. “In fact, they should not be in the United States at all.”But our famously inept Homeland Security officials simply let these monsters loose in unsuspecting communities, even though one law enforcement agency cited in the series calls the illegal immigrant cons “the worst of the worst.” At the very least, ICE is supposed to assure that the thugs register with local authorities as sex offenders, but the agency doesn’t even bother to do that. Instead, once ICE frees the offenders, agency officials often lose track of them despite outstanding deportation orders. It’s like negligence on steroids.
One disturbing case mentioned in the article focuses on a Cuban national named Santos Hernandez Carrera, who raped a woman at knifepoint and spent roughly half his life in jail. He was supposed to stay in custody until he could be deported, but instead the feds released him and lied about it.
OBAMA THE LAME DUCK: Constitution Rising
...It turns out that you actually can’t run the country all by yourself, even if you’re the smartest fellow in the room. That’s proving quite a shock to our legacy-hungry commander in chief, who is responding to various setbacks with increasing indignation and hauteur. But, never, ever, moderation.Mr. Obama has pursued an ambitious agenda since he entered the White House, increasingly acting alone. Ever since he won passage of Obamacare in 2010 through an odious series of back-room favors, and then got burned looking for a “Grand Bargain” on the budget with House Speaker John Boehner, he has eschewed the normal horse-trading with Congress and chosen to govern instead through executive actions and regulations.
...On the griddle currently is the president’s Trans Pacific Trade pact, which Democrats in Congress oppose. Members of his own party snubbed President Obama’s humiliating last-ditch overtures [in which] he promised goodies galore – rides on Air force One, Oval Office visits and campaign help for those willing to vote for his bill. He hoped to counter AFL-CIO head Richard Trumka’s reported threats that Big Labor will mount primary challenges against those who back the trade measure.

WEIMAR II? The Next Great European Financial Crisis Has Begun
The Greek financial system is in the process of totally imploding, and the rest of Europe will soon follow.
Neither the Greeks nor the Germans are willing to give in, and that means that there is very little chance that a debt deal is going to happen by the end of June. So that means that we will likely see a major Greek debt default and potentially even a Greek exit from the eurozone. At this point, credit default swaps on Greek debt have risen 456 percent in price since the beginning of this year, and the market has priced in a 75 percent chance that a Greek debt default will happen.
Over the past month, the yield on two year Greek bonds has skyrocketed from 20 percent to more than 30 percent, and the Greek stock market has fallen by a total of 13 percent during the last three trading days alone. This is what a financial collapse looks like, and if Greece does leave the euro, we are going to see this kind of carnage happen all over Europe.
Officials over in Europe are now openly speaking of the need to prepare for a “state of emergency” now that negotiations have totally collapsed. At one time, it would have been unthinkable for Greece to leave the euro, but now it appears that this is precisely what will happen unless a miracle happens…
"Islamophobia" or... common sense?
Massive confusion is created around the issues of Islamophobia where young vulnerable Muslim youth are made to believe that they are targets of an institutionalized hate-mongering campaign against Islam and Muslims.
Let’s be clear that Islamophobia is a growing, well-funded, well-“oiled” industry which is being used as a lethal weapon against the West.
As usual, massive confusion is created around the issues of Islamophobia where young vulnerable Muslim youth are made to believe that they are targets of an institutionalized hate-mongering campaign against Islam and Muslims.These naïve Muslims are not informed that Islamophobia was created in the 1990s, when U.S. Muslim Brotherhood groups decided to “play victim” for the purpose of “beating down critics.”
They seem to have succeeded in “beating down critics” because there is an intentional muzzling of debate and discussion about Islam and Muslims. Any criticism against acts by Muslims is immediately dubbed “Islamophobia,” which petrifies the non-Muslim community into silence.

SERIOUSLY: Hillary Clinton lists her second greatest accomplishment ever as... watching TV
Without looking it up on any liberal media news site, please list for me two Hillary Clinton accomplishments. You’re right, my bad. Please name one accomplishment.
Come on, you got this. Just one.
No? Okay, well, I’m stumped too....
In speech, Hillary identifies 2 accomplishments as SecState: 1. Standing up to Putin. 2. Being in Situation Room night bin Laden was killed.
— John McCormack (@McCormackJohn) June 13, 2015"I stood up to adversaries like Putin and allies like Israel and I was in the Situation Room on the day we got Bin Laden," Hillary boasts.
— Olivia Nuzzi (@Olivianuzzi) June 13, 2015
Let's unpack this:
Russia: After her ill-advised efforts to appease the dictator Vladimir Putin by handing him a cheap plastic bauble (the infamous "reset" button), Russia has responded with an unprecedented wave of expansionism:
• As it became clear that Republicans would lose the White House in 2008, Russia invaded Georgia.
• It invaded Crimea in 2014.
• This month, it restarted the proxy war with Ukraine.
• It is preparing for war in the Arctic, executing plans "to put 'Bastion' anti-ship missile systems at their Arctic bases in 2015, to go along with airfield improvements, aircraft deployments, and installation of mobile anti-air missile systems and early warning radars."
• It has resumed overt aggression against U.S. warships, begun executing joint military drills with Red China in the Mediterranean, stood fast as Iran's staunchest ally in its race to acquire nuclear weapons, and -- most importantly -- it paid the Clinton Crime Family off in exchange for one-fifth of all U.S. uranium, one of America's most precious military assets.
Oh, and that's just Hillary's finest accomplishment.
Her second one's even funnier.
She watched the Bin Laden raid on TV.
That's it.
That's all she's got.
And this is the Democrat Party's de facto Presidential candidate?
This isn't a political party. It's an SNL skit.

Biographer confirms President Reagan carried a concealed handgun while serving in office
One of President Ronald Reagan’s leading biographers says that Reagan carried a concealed handgun for about 14 years following his attempted assassination at the hands of John Hinckley Jr., confirming a recent claim made by author Brad Meltzer.
Meltzer, a best-selling thriller writer, wrote in the New York Daily News over the weekend that he was told about Reagan’s heat-packing ways while researching an upcoming novel. While touring the headquarters of the Secret Service, Meltzer says one of the agents there mentioned that Reagan carried a revolver in his briefcase during his years as president.
“Whatever you think of Reagan, you have to admit, he had a black belt in badassery,” Meltzer wrote.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to Craig Shirley, a notable Reagan biographer, who said that Meltzer’s claim is completely true and independently confirmed by his own research.
Shirley told TheDCNF he learned about Reagan’s gun while researching his upcoming book Last Act: The Final Years and Emerging Legacy of Ronald Reagan. He said Reagan’s secret gun was revealed to him by Stephen Colo, a retired Secret Service agent who led Reagan’s security detail after he left the White House.
Shirley offered a bounty of new information about Reagan’s gun that was absent from Meltzer’s original piece. While Meltzer didn’t say when Reagan started carrying, Shirley confirmed the practice began after Reagan was shot and nearly killed by John Hinckley Jr. on March 30, 1981.

Top 10 Questions Hillary Clinton Won’t Answer
1. Why did Hillary Clinton approve the transfer of 20% of U.S. uranium to the Russian government, even as her family foundation hauled in $145 million from investors in the deal, and Bill received $500,000 from a Kremlin-backed bank for a speech in Moscow?
2. Why did Hillary Clinton allow top investors in the Keystone XL pipeline to pay her husband $1.8 million to deliver 10 speeches, even as she quietly shepherded an environmental impact study through her State Department that (surprise!) proved largely supportive of the pipeline?
3. Why did Hillary Clinton violate the memorandum of understanding she signed with the Obama administration promising to disclose all donors, including the foreign head of the Russian government’s Uranium One, Ian Telfer, who funneled four donations totaling $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation that were never revealed?
4. How does HIllary Clinton explain the 2 million shares of stock foreign mining magnate Stephen Dattels gave the Clinton Foundation, even as her State Department allowed “open pit coal mining” in Bangladesh, where Dattels’ Polo Resources had a stake?
5. Why has Hillary Clinton released the names of only 24 of the roughly 1,100 hidden foreign Clinton Foundation donors, leaving 1,076 still secret?
6. Why did Hillary Clinton deliver eight speeches totaling $1.6 million in speaking fees paid for by two of the largest banks tied to the Keystone XL pipeline (in addition to the $1.8 million Bill bagged for the 10 Keystone investor-funded speeches he delivered during Hillary’s tenure as Secretary of State)?
7. Why did Hillary Clinton allow 181 Clinton Foundation donors to lobby Hillary’s State Department?
8. Why did the Clintons’ family foundation receive millions from Qatar, as well as donations from FIFA, the soccer organization now enmeshed in a bribery and corruption scandal of global proportions?
9. Why did the Clintons create a secret “pass-through” company, WJC, LLC?
10. Which did Hillary’s State Department “approve $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation” according to the International Business Times?
I can't wait for Hillary's campaign to implode.
