Do We Need Gun Control Or Thug Control?

Do We Need Gun Control Or Thug Control? Weekly Update from Dinesh D'Souza Dear Friends, In the wake of the tragic Virginia shooting, more information is surfacing about the shooter. Bryce Williams sent a 23-page suicide note to ABC after killing Alison Parker and Adam Ward in which he said he would "bring on the race war" in response to the shooting in Charleston. His hatred of whites was marinated in years of progressive propaganda that told him how he was a victim of societal racism. Racism can provoke wanton violence, but so can an aggrieved sense of minority victimization. We now know that Williams was a staunch progressive and Obama supporter, and most likely subscribed to their narrative of black oppression—he was reprimanded at the news station for wearing an Obama pin on the job on Election Day, a clear violation of journalistic ethics. Let's hope that Obama expresses sympathy for the white victims and not for the shooter! Obama and the media seem to be resolutely colorblind when black people do horrific things but acutely race conscious when white people do them. For example, we haven't seen any headlines like this one: If it had been the other around, we'd be hearing all about the "white racist and homophobic killer." And speaking of double standards, will the same leftists who sought to ban the Confederate flag after the Charleston shooting now take down those rainbow flags we see all over the place? All the left wants to talk about now is gun control. In reality, what we need is THUG control. I have an idea: why don't we just have all angry demented progressives turn in their guns? In perhaps related news, most Americans now disapprove of Obama and say the U.S. is doing badly (according to a new CNN poll)—but our narcissist-in-chief retains his high opinion of himself! Try as I might, I just cannot imitate Obama's self-important look—it comes so naturally to him: Do you think there is a double standard in the way Obama and the media discussed this shooting versus the Charleston shooting? Comment on my Facebook Page and let me know! Sincerely, Dinesh D'Souza P.S. What has America ever done for us? Watch this video to find out.

InstaPoll: Defunding Planned Parenthood

Recently, undercover videos were released by the Center of Medical Progress showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing obtaining and processing fetal tissue from abortions to be used for research. In response, the House Judiciary Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee have launched investigations into the allegations that Planned Parenthood violated federal law by profiting from this transfer of tissue from unborn children.  Among other things, federal law prohibits, "alteration of the timing, method, or procedures used to terminate the pregnancy" if that alteration is made "solely for the purposes of obtaining the tissue." Additionally, many lawmakers have called for the government to halt public funding for Planned Parenthood, and instead funnel those federal funds to clinics that can provide a range of health services to women while also respecting the sanctity of life.  Legislation has been introduced both to institute a one year moratorium on Planned Parenthood funding, as well as to permanently ban federal government funding for the organization.  In the meantime, thirteen states have opened their own investigations into their local Planned Parenthood centers, while several are working to cut off state funding by ending their contracts with Planned Parenthood for services to state residents covered by Medicaid. The Administration, however, has warned states looking to defund the program that they may be in violation of federal law. Congressman Forbes is a cosponsor of both a moratorium and a permanent ban on federal government funding for Planned Parenthood, and has joined his colleagues in sending a letter to Attorney General Lynch, calling for a full investigation into Planned Parenthood's actions. Question of the Week: In light of investigations over allegations that Planned Parenthood profits from fetal tissue sales, do you support halting public funding for the organization? (  ) Yes. (  ) No. (  ) I don't know. (  ) Other. Take the Poll here Find the results of last week's InstaPoll here.

Supporting our military and veterans

At the end of June, reports surfaced highlighting the severe mismanagement of funds at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These reports re-ignited an ongoing national discussion over whether the President and his Administration are doing enough to support veterans and active duty servicemembers. Those who applaud the Administration's efforts point to the fact that last year, in response to similar reports of mismanagement within the VA, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act to provide better care for veterans and increase accountability at the VA. Veterans Affairs Secretary McDonald has also said the agency has made significant progress in the past year. Those who believe the Administration has shown a lack of support for both our veterans and the men and women currently serving in the military, point to the fact that an enormous claims backlog still exists at the VA and many veterans continue to wait to receive the care they need and deserve. Additionally, the U.S. military has faced six years of drastic cuts under this Administration –  in fact, a few weeks ago, the Army announced plans to shrink to 450,000 active soldiers, its smallest size since World War II. Just this year, the President has threatened to veto the national security budget unless domestic agencies like the IRS and EPA receive the funding levels desired by the Administration. As Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces, Congressman Forbes has been a leading voice in the House of Representatives on the importance of adequately equipping servicemembers, caring for veterans, and strengthening national security. Question of the Week: In your view, is this Administration doing enough to support our military, veterans, and active duty servicemembers? (  ) Yes. (  ) No. (  ) I don't know. (  ) Other.

Trump Scares The Pants Off The GOP

Trump Scares The Pants Off The GOP Weekly Update from Dinesh D'Souza Dear Friends, Jay Nordlinger interviewed me for his National Review podcast this week, and we touched on a lot: Obama, higher ed, 2016, "fairness," my time in confinement, India, immigration, Trump and more. Click here to listen to the full podcast. And speaking of Trump, ‪the billionaire businessman ruffled more feathers this week when he pointed out that our first black president has been terrible for blacks. He's right—Obama has eroded the wealth of blacks and sent black unemployment rates soaring. To explain more about why Trump scares the pants off the GOP establishment, I spoke with conservative radio host Steve Batton. Listen to the discussion here: I had a great time speaking with two patriotic groups of Americans in the past two weeks. On August 1, I spoke to a sold-out crowd in Modesto, California, where I shared convict stories and got a chance to sign books and meet hundreds of patriots. And on July 29, I was honored to address the Republican Women of Prescott in Arizona, where we talked about what it will take to win in 2016. And perhaps one of my favorite events from this past week was the annual Young Americas Foundation Conservative Student Conference in D.C. Every time I get to speak to young men and women who are concerned about the future of America, I become heartened that there is so much interest in what will make America great again. My YAF speech was all about the tactics of the left and how we can overcome them in the upcoming year. The left subverted and stole America from us, and this is our opportunity to restore her. Watch the full, 60-minute speech right here: As I look forward to the Republican debate tonight, I can't help but watch Hillary continue to fall in the Democratic polls. How much longer can she fake it? The latest polls show that the more people get to know‪ ‎Hillary‬, the less they like her. While you're watching the debate tonight, post your thoughts on my Facebook Page—I want to know what you think about the future of America and the future of the GOP! Sincerely, Dinesh D'Souza P.S. This American Thinker op-ed criticizes Judge Berman's "colossally unethical psychology practice"—do you agree?

Wireless taxes and fees

The average American pays an estimated tax rate of 17% in combined federal, state, and local taxes and fees each month on wireless services, according to the Tax Foundation's Wireless Taxation in the United States, 2014 report. The impact of these taxes and fees are widespread for many Americans, as cell phones are increasingly their sole means of communication and connectivity. According to the Pew Research Center, as of January 2014, 90% of American adults have cell phones and about two-in-five U.S. households were "wireless-only" households. Recently, a bill was introduced in the House of Representatives to attempt to address this issue. The Wireless Telecommunications Tax and Fee Collection Fairness Act, H.R. 1087, prohibits state and local governments from tacking on any new taxes and fees on specific communications services, such as wireless, for five years.  During this freeze, state and local governments are afforded time to restructure and simplify their communications tax structures, modernizing them to reflect current usage patterns moving forward. Congressman Forbes is a co-sponsor of this bill. Question of the Week: Do you support H.R. 1087 to put a freeze on any new wireless taxes and fees? (  ) Yes. (  ) No. (  ) I don't know. (  ) Other. Take the Poll here  Find the results of last week's InstaPoll here.

Talking Trump

Talking Trump Weekly Update from Dinesh D'Souza Dear Friends, I was in D.C. this week to fire up several hundred young people at the Young America's Foundation summer conference, and I couldn't be more excited. Yesterday, I stopped by Laura Ingraham's studio while I was in town to talk Trump and 2016. The great benefit of having Trump in the race is that he causes apoplexy at the RNC, which may help stir the establishment from its catatonic slumber. To hear more about what we should expect leading up to 2016, check out some of my predictions in this new PolitiStick interview. I discuss what's driving Hillary and how we can win: Before my visit to Laura's studio in D.C. this week, the folks at her online publication, the LifeZette, railed against the politicization of criminal justice, as evidenced by my case: "It's hard to have faith in a criminal justice system when defendants who commit offenses of similar gravity do not receive similar punishments." Read the whole piece here. This week, thanks to the latest Planned Parenthood undercover videos, more Americans have been woken up to the devastation that abortion creates. The tragedy of abortion is not only that a mother kills a child, but that a mother kills her own child. Watch the latest video here, but be warned: it's graphic. And if the news from Planned Parenthood wasn't offensive enough this week, the news from Iran certainly will push you over the edge. I can't help but notice that no matter how much Obama kowtows to the mullahs, they continue to hold nothing but contempt for the president and for America. Iran's supreme leader tweeted a graphic Saturday that depicts President Obama holding a gun to his head: I look forward to speaking to the Virginia Vision PAC in Virginia Beach next week. I'll be speaking about how the left stole America and how we can take it back. If you want to stop by, click here for more information about getting tickets. Sincerely, Dinesh D'Souza P.S. I have a brand new video from Carey Wedler to send you in the coming days. If you're fed up with both the left and the right in D.C., you might appreciate what she has to say!
