NRA accepted donations from 20 Russian-linked contributors

The NRA conspired with the Russians to get Trump elected with the whopping sum of $2500??? 

 Looks like the NRA is the new punching bag replacing Confederate statues. 

They’re trying to make a big deal out of this?

(The donations/member fees of $2500 which may include Americans living in Russian.) 

Meanwhile, Amber heard just gave the radical terrorist group known as the ACLU $3.5 million to help them enforce any display of the dreaded TEN COMMANDMENTS.

Looking back... if you were Putin wouldn't you rather have the former lying SOS for president? Right now she would be busy tearing down the border wall too busy to concentrate on Putin.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) disclosed in a letter to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) this week that it received contributions from 23 individuals with links to Russia since 2015.

The letter, dated Tuesday and made public on Wednesday, stated that the gun rights group received just over $2,500 from those individuals and that most of the money was from "routine payments," like membership fees. Some of the payments may have come from Americans living in Russia, the NRA noted.

Roughly $525 came from "two individuals who made contributions to the NRA," NRA general counsel John Frazer wrote in the letter, which was first reported Wednesday by NPR.

The NRA's acknowledgment that it received payments from 23 individuals signals a sharp increase from the group's previous disclosures. An outside counsel for the NRA told ABC News in an interview last month that the group received just one contribution from a Russian individual between 2012 and 2018.

Frazer in this week's letter also addressed payments to the NRA made by Alexander Torshin, a Russian politician and the deputy of the country's central bank. He said Torshin has been a life member of the group since 2012, and has paid membership dues, but has not made any additional contributions.

Torshin is among the Russian officials named in new U.S. sanctions imposed last week. Frazer said the NRA is now "reviewing our responsibilities with respect to him."

McClatchy D.C. reported in January that the FBI was investigating whether Torshin sought to funnel money to the NRA to help President Trump win the 2016 election.

Wyden has questioned the NRA for months about possible connections to Russia. Frazer said in the letter to the senator that the organization would stop providing information on the matter.

"Given the extraordinarily time-consuming and burdensome nature of your requests, we must respectfully decline to engage in this beyond the clear answers we have already provided," he wrote.

Parkland shooting in retrospect

So let me get this straight -

School failed,

FBI failed,

Cops failed,

officer on site failed,

but media blames the NRA ?

Eleven teens die every day texting and driving.

So is it time to raise the age you can get a smartphone to 21?

Three weeks ago, our government wanted to change the color of tide pods to detour teenagers from eating them.

Yesterday those same teenagers were telling our government what to do with our 2nd amendment rights...

A deranged student with a rifle had no problem getting into a school.

A student with a Bible would have been stopped immediately.

Of Mice and Mexicans

200K mice plagued the islands. Now, none

A subantarctic archipelago is making "huge news": The New Zealand Herald reports there are officially no more mice on the country's Antipodes Islands, which once housed up to 200,000 of the rodents.

They caused a big threat to the World Heritage Site by preying on native birds, bugs, and plants, and the five-year effort to do away with them got an assist from the public, with the "Million Mouse Project" fundraising campaign bringing six figures.

The Department of Conservation explains that cereal bait laced with rodent toxin was dropped via helicopter on the island during the winter of 2016. A team scoured the island last month looking for any mice and found none.

"This is huge news for conservation both in New Zealand and internationally," says New Zealand Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage. She says more than two dozen types of birds, 21 uncommon plants, and more than 150 insect species will benefit.

Both Radio New Zealand and NPR note the mice originally found their way to the Antipodes either on 19th-century ships or via a shipwreck and proceeded to purge the island of at least two insect species, as well as to displace some seabirds to other islands.

The initiative in the Antipodes isn't a stand-alone: The island nation has also gotten rid of other invasive species in the name of boosting biodiversity, including goats, rats, cats, rabbits, and a local meat-eating weasel.

New Zealand's ultimate goal is to rid itself completely of all invasive pests by 2050, per Nature. 

Talk about invasive pests. 
What if we air dropped tainted burritos in CA?

Stephon Clark Criminal Record 

A little background information on St. Stephon.

A son, brother, father and a convicted criminal. Although Clark’s family has waxed eloquent about what a great guy Clark was, and that he was “turning his life around,” the facts about the African American unarmed man shot and killed by Sacramento Police on March 18, 2018, do not paint such a rosy picture. A criminal since his teen years, the 22-year-old had a juvenile record of grand theft, robbery and receiving stolen property. As an adult, Clark pled guilty to felony armed robbery, assault, and child endangering in one case, and “pimping” a prostitute in another case for which he pled no contest. In a third adult case, Clark was arrested for domestic violence for punching a woman in the face, and in yet another case from this year, Clark was again arrested for domestic violence. Why do people make a hero out of someone who has assaulted women? Before being shot he was allegedly breaking car windows and when spotted by a police helicopter the cops witnessed him breaking the sliding glass doors to a house. Police on the ground were directed to Clark’s location and chased him on foot to the backyard of his grandmother’s house where he failed to drop something in his hand (it turned out to be a cellphone) and was shot to death. While it is true that a person should not receive a death penalty for breaking car windows, breaking a glass door to a house, and running from police, the fact is that if Clark was not breaking the law and had stopped when the police first told him to, he would not have been shot. Being a career criminal and committing crimes other than murder or attempted murder is not a good reason to die, but Clark had played a huge role in the outcome of his own fate.

One more observation:

Instead of the police... had the owner of the car came out and shot Clark 20 times the story would have been buried on page 20 in the local newspaper.
