In the sanctuary city of San Francisco, an illegal alien named Francisco Sanchez who had been deported five times has been charged with the killing of 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle. Sanchez told local media he chose San Francisco because the city serves as a sanctuary to people in the country illegally.

Proponents of sanctuary for illegals are saying those policies didn't contribute to this murder, and that it's an outlier. As Michelle Malkin points out, that's far from the case, and she named many more #VictimsOfDeadlySanctuaryPolicies:

ARIANA, NO! BAD GIRL! DON'T LICK THE DONUTS!

Donut licker Ariana Grande only said 'I hate America' because she cares so much about healthy eating

Whatever you do @ArianaGrande Please for the love of God do NOT fire your PR Team.

— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) July 8, 2015

Pop singer and Nickelodeon alumna Ariana Grande has issued an apology after a security video posted to TMZ Tuesday appeared to show Grande and her boyfriend licking a tray of powdered jelly donuts left on a donut shop counter. Gross, but no big deal, right? Later in the video, though, an employee brings out a tray of oversized donuts, apparently inspiring Grande to declare, "What the fuck is that? I hate Americans. I hate America."

TMZ called it a case of "fat shaming on a national scale." As the video went viral, a representative said the singer would not be performing this Saturday at the MLB All-Star Concert at the Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati - because she had her wisdom teeth removed Monday. A written statement has been making the rounds of social media today, and it's pretty much guaranteed to provide more entertainment than Grande's entire career so far.

You do have to read the entire statement, because there's so much to take in. She's EXTREMELY proud to be an American and loves her "county," but she's just so frustrated by the country's child obesity rate, you guys.

So Ariana Grande's "apology" is basically her ranting about how she doesn't like donuts, freedom, or fat people? Ok.

RELATABLE: CHELSEA IS THE DISCOUNT CLINTON

If Hillary is too expensive, you can get Chelsea Clinton for big savings

The Washington Post notes this morning that one prominent university was looking to book a high profile speaker on women's issues recently and the short list for their selection was very short indeed. Unfortunately, their first choice came with a few hefty strings attached so they went with a backup plan.

When the University of Missouri at Kansas City was looking for a celebrity speaker to headline its gala luncheon marking the opening of a women's hall of fame, one name came to mind: Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But when the former secretary of state's representatives quoted a fee of $275,000, officials at the public university balked. "Yikes!" one e-mailed another.

So the school turned to the next best option: her daughter, Chelsea.

The university paid $65,000 for Chelsea Clinton's brief appearance Feb. 24, 2014, a demonstration of the celebrity appeal and marketability that the former and possibly second-time first daughter employs on behalf of her mother's presidential campaign and family's global charitable empire.

If we're going to complain about "white privilege", can we start with the most privileged? http://t.co/9lHXnjCskg pic.twitter.com/FrR1liU9Ea

— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) June 30, 2015

Talk about privilege! Jim went on over at National Review to break down exactly what that fee she collected comes out to and how much it "benefited" the university to have her attend the event.

The article notes the negotiated schedule included Chelsea speaking for 10 minutes, participate in a 20-minute, moderated question-and-answer session and spend a half-hour posing for pictures with VIPs offstage. A $65,000 fee divided by 60 minutes of time at the event comes out to $1,083.33 per minute.

The university paid the fee to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. The school made $38,500 in ticket sales for the event.

HILLARY TO BLACK AUDIENCE: "ALL LIVES MATTER"

From the NY Times, via Legal Insurrection:

The remark caused a stir on social media, with some African-Americans on Twitter suggesting that Mrs. Clinton had lost their votes.

Hillary Clinton, in a Black church, just said "All lives matter." Fam...

— Pousbaé (@yoauntielikeit) June 23, 2015

The Rev. Renita Lamkin, who was in the audience at the event, told NPR that Mrs. Clinton's comment did not go unnoticed.

"That blew a lot of support that she may have been able to engender here," she said.

The phrase "black lives matter" has become a rallying cry in the last year for demonstrators amid a spate of episodes around the country, including the 18-year-old Michael Brown’s death in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, where white police officers have been accused of using excessive force against black suspects.

Judith Butler, a professor at University of California, Berkeley, summed up the frustration with the use of "all lives matter" in The Times in January.

"When some people rejoin with 'All Lives Matter' they misunderstand the problem, but not because their message is untrue," she wrote. "It is true that all lives matter, but it is equally true that not all lives are understood to matter which is precisely why it is most important to name the lives that have not mattered, and are struggling to matter in the way they deserve."

Nobody should be surprised by this. Clearly, even when the Hildebeest is in full-scale pander mode she still screws it up. But it is really cool to see Clinton's paper of record linking to Twitchy. Well done!

And speaking of Twitchy...
