On Wednesday, actor Kelsey Grammer posted a picture of himself wearing the pro-life shirt on abortion: “Would it Bother Us More if They Used Guns?” Grammer is best known for starring in NBC sitcoms Cheers and Frasier, and has garnered five Prime Time Emmy Awards and Three Golden Globes.
The pro-abortion Huffington Post criticized Grammer’s pro-life views and said his t-shirt had a “disturbing message.” However, the star isn’t too worried about his critics because he has always been a rebel in Hollywood. In a previous interview with Piers Morgan, Grammer said, “I don’t tend to warm too well to people that tell me how I’m supposed to think. So, my life in Hollywood — I’m afraid I was destined to be a Republican.”
On Instagram, Kelsey and his wife, Kayte Grammer, also posted a pro-life quote from Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson that read: “We’ve distorted things to the point where people believe that anyone who opposes mothers killing their babies is waging a war on women. How can we be so foolish to believe such a thing? One must be able to recognize the depravity to which we have sunken as a society when valuing a baby’s life is frowned upon.”

Grammer’s pro-life beliefs stand in stark contrast to the views of many pro-abortion stars in Hollywood such as Rosie O’Donnell, Scarlet Johansson and Planned Parenthood spokesperson Lena Dunham. In 2014, both Johansson and Dunham designed t-shirts to promote Planned Parenthood and “women’s rights.”
Additionally, O’Donnell made headlines in August for saying she would like to do this to pro-lifers: I’d like to take my period blood I no longer have and write, ‘you’re all assh—s.’ I’d like to smear it all over some people’s faces.” O’Donnell was referring to pro-life Senate Republicans who tried to de-fund the abortion company in light of videos showing their top executives haggling over the price of aborted babies’ body parts.
As LifeNews previously reported, Grammer made an appearance at the National Right to Life convention in New Orleans to meet with pro-life advocates in July.

Said In Spanish: Mexicans Still Triggered By Trump—And Claiming “Jurisdiction” Over Mexican-Americans

They can’t help it. From soccer to comic books, Mexicans still can’t help but show how triggered they are by Trump. Unfortunately for them, their attacks on The Donald seems to show the wisdom of his immigration policies: both the Mexican government and many Mexican-Americans clearly think America already belongs to them.
Pro-Mexican Soccer Ad Agrees With Trump—America “Doesn’t Have Victories Anymore”
In case you didn’t know, Mexico and the United States will play each other October 10 at the Rose Bowl. Since it’s in California, we can expect the Americans will be dealing with a hostile “home” crowd who may boo the national anthem again.
On September 9^th, Mexico’s TV Azteca’s ad ran an ad promoting the upcoming game.

The ad intersperses snippets of Donald Trump’s campaign announcement speech with soccer scenes of Mexican victory.
For example:

• “When Mexico sends its people they’re not sending their best”
• “Our country is in serious trouble”
• “We don’t have victories anymore”
• “The American dream is dead”

Interestingly, the ad essentially agrees with Trump’s message about America not having victories and the American dream being dead. It simply uses Trump’s statements to mock the USA for a predicted defeat at the hands of Team Mexico.
Trump as a Villain in Video Games and Disney Parodies
The Mexican video game company Karaokulta has a new game called Trumpéalo. The player throws shoes, beer bottles and prickly pear cacti at Donald Trump on a stage. (One would think the beer bottles and prickly pear cacti are offensive and stereotypical, but never mind).


Other sites are morphing Trump into a succession of Disney villains (Disney characters are very well known in Latin America) [Transforman a Trump en villanas de Disney, El Universal, September 1, 2015]. This particular site is Mexican, but the original is apparently from Venezuela.
El Peso Hero Takes On Donald Trump
Explicit threats of violence against Trump are also appearing—for example in a comic book called “El Peso Hero.” It was created by an elementary school teacher, Hector Rodriguez. He teaches in Dallas, Texas but seems to be filled with a great deal of hatred and contempt for the country in which he resides.
The cover of the comic book’s July Issue has the Peso Hero punching Donald Trump. Here, “El Peso Hero” is punching Trump in the face, with the pose precisely modeled on the 1941 cover image of Captain America punching Adolf Hitler. Not too subtle (or original).
The cover also has a picture of Mexican monopolist Carlos Slim saying “You’re fired”. And its top and bottom titles read La Comunidad Latina Se Una En Contra del Racismo (“The Latino Community Unites Against Racism”).
According to Kierran Petersen of Public Radio International

Until now, Rodriguez has kept the focus of El Peso Hero on social and human rights issues. Back when he first started the series, he was motivated by the desire to give his students a Spanish-speaking superhero to look up to. But with this new cover, his series takes on a political bent.
[Trump takes it on the chin in Mexican superhero’s latest adventure, July 18, 2015]

Rodriguez explains his artistic and political motives:

“We’re being threatened by someone who could possibly be in a position of authority, molding and dictating policy in the United States,” Rodriguez says. “I think it was our responsibility to counteract with an artistic piece — with the Mexican superhero.”

Despite his residence in Dallas, Rodriguez says “we” are being threatened. And by “we,” he doesn’t mean Americans.
Rodriguez goes on to say he was “personally offended” by Trump because Rodriguez’s grandfather was an illegal. But what this really shows is that even having multiple generations of his family in America have done nothing to change what Rodriguez sees as “his” country.
Mexico’s New Ambassador Receives His Orders: Mobilize Mexican-Americans!
And it’s that kind of sentiment the Mexican government is counting on. Mexico has a new Ambassador to the United States, ready to continue the long tradition of meddling in American affairs. Ambassador Miguel Basanez Ebergenyi (his maternal surname is Hungarian, and quite common in Mexico) gave an interview published in El Universal, Mexico’s paper of record, on September 6.
He enthused:

If we think of the Mexican-origin population in the U.S., we are talking about 37 or 38 million , and if we add the rest of the Hispanic population, there are 57 or 58 million. We are a quite powerful segment, and this speaks of how the societies have been inter-relating.
[‘Chapo’ no logró danar la relacion Mexico-EU,” by Carlos Benavides]

Notice how Ambassador Basanez identifies with the Mexican-American population in the U.S., and even the general Hispanic population in the U.S., going so far as to say that “we are”, including himself with them.
In other words, the Mexican government sees the Mexican and the Hispanic population in the U.S. as allied with the Mexican government and constituting a “powerful segment” here.
He also notes:

Fifty-percent of Mexican families have a relative living or working in the U.S. This social part is very important.

Since half the Mexican population has relatives in the U.S., this provides a powerful incentive to take the part of illegal aliens in any immigration dispute. It also makes it easier for more Mexicans to emigrate to the United States.
Basanez also specifically commented on Donald Trump.

In every part of the world there are extreme expressions, intolerant, racist, xenophobic, and they should be denounced, they shouldn’t be ignored, but neither should they be exaggerated in that sense that in the case of the United States they are beginning their internal political process.

In other words, let’s be careful about how we meddle.

We must be attentive, but as Mexicans we can only be observers.

Does that mean they won’t meddle? Well, he also says,

Those who can participate and influence are the Americans or the Mexicans who have dual nationality and can vote….

Again, this is a clear indication from a Mexican government official that Mexican-Americans with dual citizenship are expected to vote in American elections for the interests of Mexico.
Why don’t Republicans care about this?
Basanez was approved by the Mexican senate on September 2, and on September 7 (coincidentally, during Texas Governor Abbott’s visit) was given his instructions. According to Excelsior:

President Pena Nieto met last night with Miguel Basanez Ebergenyi, Mexico’s Ambassador to the United States, and entrusted him with the mission of defending the national interest and the rights of Mexicans in that country.
[Instruye Peña Nieto a Basáñez a defender derechos de mexicanos en EU, by Enrique Sanchez, September 8, 2015]

Basanez was told his objective was “to broaden the opportunities of our nationals on both sides of the border.”
This is a fairly explicit statement by the government of Mexico that it expects to exercise jurisdiction over Mexican-Americans.
Of course, this means that Mexican anchor babies in the U.S. should not be American citizens? After all, the Mexican government is claiming “jurisdiction” over them.
Donald Trump ought to add this little fact to his repertoire. After all, he’s already being attacked because Latin Americans think acting in the interests of Americans is automatically illegitimate.
He might as well give them something else to whine about.

Mass Shootings: The Problem Isn’t Guns Or White Men

Ann Coulter On Mass Shootings: The Problem Isn’t Guns Or White Men

The media act as if they’re performing a public service by refusing to release details about the perpetrator of the recent mass shooting at a community college in Oregon. But we were given plenty of information about Dylan Roof, Adam Lanza, James Holmes and Jared Loughner.
Now, quick: Name the mass shooters at the Chattanooga military recruitment center; the Washington Navy Yard; the high school in Washington state; Fort Hood (the second time) and the Christian college in California. All those shootings also occurred during the last three years.
The answers are: Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, Kuwaiti; Aaron Alexis, black, possibly Barbadian-American; Jaylen Ray Fryberg, Indian; Ivan Antonio Lopez, Hispanic; and One L. Goh, Korean immigrant. (While I’m here: Why are we bringing in immigrants who are mentally unstable?)
There’s a rigid formula in media accounts of mass shootings: If possible, blame it on angry white men; when that won’t work, blame it on guns.
The perpetrator of the latest massacre, Chris Harper-Mercer, was a half-black immigrant, so the media are refusing to get too specific about him. They don’t want to reward the fiend with publicity!
But as people hear details the media are not anxious to provide, they realize that, once again: It’s a crazy person. How long is this going to go on?
When will the public rise up and demand that the therapeutic community stop loosing these nuts on the public? After the fact, scores of psychiatrists are always lining up to testify that the defendant was legally insane, unable to control his actions. That information would be a lot more helpful before the wanton slaughter.
Product manufacturers are required by law to anticipate that some idiot might try to dry his cat in the microwave. But a person whose job it is to evaluate mental illness can’t be required to ascertain whether the person sitting in his office might be unstable enough to kill?
Maybe at their next convention, psychiatrists could take up a resolution demanding an end to our absurd patient privacy and involuntary commitment laws.
True, America has more privately owned guns than most other countries, and mass shootings are, by definition, committed with guns. But we also make it a lot more difficult than any other country to involuntarily commit crazy people.
Since the deinstitutionalization movement of the 1960s, civil commitment in the United States almost always requires a finding of dangerousness—both imminent and physical—as determined by a judge. Most of the rest of the world has more reasonable standards—you might almost call them “common sense”—allowing family, friends and even acquaintances to petition for involuntarily commitment, with the final decision made by doctors.
The result of our laissez-faire approach to dangerous psychotics is visible in the swarms of homeless people on our streets, crazy people in our prison populations and the prevalence of mass shootings.
According to a 2002 report [PDF] by Central Institute of Mental Health for the European Union, the number of involuntarily detained mental patients, per 100,000 people, in other countries looks like this:

• Austria, 175
• Finland, 218
• Germany, 175
• Sweden, 114
• England, 93

The absolute maximum number of mental patients per 100,000 people who could possibly be institutionalized by the state in the U.S.—voluntarily or involuntarily—is: 17. Yes, according to the Treatment Advocacy Center, there are a grand total of 17 psychiatric beds even available, not necessarily being used. In 1955, there were 340.
After every mass shooting, the left has a lot of fun forcing Republicans to defend guns. Here’s an idea: Why not force Democrats to defend the right of the dangerous mentally ill not to take their medicine?
Liberals will howl about “stigmatizing” the mentally ill, but they sure don’t mind stigmatizing white men or gun owners. About a third of the population consists of white men. Between a third and half of all Americans have guns in the home. If either white men or guns were the main cause of mass murder, no one would be left in the country.
But I notice that every mass murder is committed by someone who is mentally ill. When the common denominator is a characteristic found in about 0.1 percent of the population—I think we’ve found the crucial ingredient!
Democrats won’t be able to help themselves, but to instantly close ranks and defend dangerous psychotics, hauling out the usual meaningless statistics:

• Most mentally ill are not violent!

Undoubtedly true. BUT WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANOREXICS, AGORAPHOBICS OR OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVES. We were thinking of paranoid schizophrenics.

• The mentally ill are more likely to be victims than perpetrators of violence!

I’ll wager that the percentage of the nation’s 310 million guns that are ever used in a crime is quite a bit lower than the percentage of mentally ill to ever engage in violence.
As with the “most Muslims are peaceful” canard, while a tiny percentage of mentally ill are violent, a gigantic percentage of mass shooters are mentally ill.
How can these heartless Democrats look the parents of dead children in the eye and defend the right of the mentally deranged to store their feces in a shoebox, menace library patrons—and, every now and then, commit mass murder?
