I can’t figure it out – are we paying China or are they paying us?

‘The answer to a murderer targeting immigrants is…more immigration control, according to the president.’
Elizabeth Nolan Brown at Reason:
On Monday morning, Donald Trump reacted to the two recent mass shootings by offering what sounds like a quid pro quo to liberals: Give me my border plans, and I’ll give you gun control.
This weekend saw two mass shootings in America, the first in El Paso, Texas, and the second in Dayton, Ohio. We cannot let the victims of these shootings “die in vain,” Trump tweeted. “Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks, perhaps marrying…this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform.”
….this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform. We must have something good, if not GREAT, come out of these two tragic events!

The Dayton killing spree doesn’t have any known connection to immigration and would not have been changed by stricter background checks. …
The man arrested for the El Paso shooting, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, opened fire in a Walmart on Saturday, killing 20 people and wounding more than two dozen others. This time, immigrants were involved—as the target of the suspected shooter’s hate.
As Eric Boehm noted here over the weekend, Crusius apparently published “a hate-filled diatribe in which he called Hispanics ‘invaders’ and criticized the supposed takeover of the U.S. government by pro-immigrant corporations.”
Dayton, Ohio Massacre Perpetrator Was Democrat Gun Control Advocate
Which makes perfect sense.
Guns for me and not for thee (so it’s easier to kill thee), that’s the liberal Democratic way.
Year Zero: Communication Breakdown
In Episode 58 Tommy addresses the latest mass shootings. In Ep Paso Texas a 21 year old walked into a Wal-Mart with an AK-47 killing 20 and injuring several more. After reading his manifesto Tommy directs what he believes is the reasoning behind the uptick in violence around politics. Whether left or right committing violence, those involved seem to be acting as the useful idiots for the elites to grab more power as they divide and conquer the country.

Misfud’s Lawyer, Roh: He Was Sent By FBI to Entrap Papadopoulos
I mean, pretty much. (Sorry I missed this last week.) The Hill:
Mifsud was a “longtime cooperator of western intel” who was asked specifically by his contacts at Link University in Rome and the London Center of International Law Practice (LCILP) — two academic groups with ties to Western diplomacy and intelligence — to meet with Papadopoulos at a dinner in Rome in mid-March 2016, Roh told me.
A May 2019 letter from Nunes to U.S. intelligence officials corroborates some of Roh’s account, revealing photos showing that the FBI conducted training at Link in fall 2016 and that Mifsud and other Link officials met regularly with world leaders, including Boris Johnson, elected today as Britain’s new prime minister.
A few days after the March dinner, Roh added, Mifsud received instructions from Link superiors to “put Papadopoulos in contact with Russians,” including a think tank figure named Ivan Timofeev and a woman he was instructed to identify to Papadopoulos as Vladimir Putin’s niece.
Mifsud knew the woman was not the Russian president’s niece but, rather, a student who was involved with both the Link and LCILP campuses, and the professor believed there was an effort underway to determine whether Papadopoulos was an “agent provocateur” seeking foreign contacts, Roh said.
The evidence, he told me, “clearly indicates that this was not only a surveillance op but a more sophisticated intel operation” in which Mifsud became involved.
Soloman goes on to make it clear that the FBI and Mueller had every opportunity to talk toe Misfud many times that they for some reason neglected to take advantage of.
Here Are 5 Big Holes in Mueller’s Work
Robert Mueller’s two-year, $25.2 million investigation was supposed to provide the definitive account of Donald Trump, Russia and the 2016 election. Yet even after he issued a 448-page report and testified for five hours before Congress, critical aspects remain unexplained, calling into question the basis for the probe and the decisions of those who conducted it.
Time and again in his report and his testimony, Mueller refused to address a wide range of fundamental issues, claiming they were beyond his purview. Some of the issues Mueller and his team did not clarify include whether the FBI had a sound predicate for opening a counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign; whether the FBI knowingly relied on false material; and the links between U.S. government agencies and key figures who fueled the most explosive claims of an illicit Trump-Russia relationship. Mueller claimed that he was prevented from answering critical questions due to ongoing Justice Department reviews, one by Attorney General William Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham and the other by Inspector General Michael Horowitz. In the meantime, here are some of the biggest mysteries that Mueller’s team left hanging in the air.

About That Innocent Man Kamala Harris Worked to Keep on Death Row
Or, you know, at least one of them.
When she was the attorney general of California, this obviously innocent and framed man tried to get some new DNA tests done on the murder weapon and she fought him.
That makes her an accessory to murder if his execution ever goes through.
Oh, but now she tells the NYT that she hopes things work out.
