They should come out and admit it: Black separatism is the avowed policy of left wing media and the national government.
[DonSurber] Erin Aubry Kaplan is a journalist and author who grew up in the South Central section of Los Angeles and nearby Inglewood. She doesn't want any white people moving to Inglewood. She is OK with Latinos moving in.
But white people, stay out.
She doesn't want white people coming into her neighborhood with their white people ways and their white people's food and their white people smell.
In a column in the New York Times, Kaplan wrote of building "one of those little free-standing library boxes that dot lawns in bedroom communities around the country."
Her reasoning behind the friendly library was rather unfriendly.
She wrote, "Why not? A library is not so much a marker of wealth and whiteness as it is an affirmation of community and cozy, small-town camaraderie that Inglewood, a mostly black and Latino city in southwestern Los Angeles County, has plenty of. We deserved no less.
"Pre-pandemic, Inglewood was gentrifying, another reason I’d been inspired to do the library: I wanted to signal to my longtime neighbors that we had our own ideas about improvement, and could carry them out in our own way."
Gentrification means white people moving in.
Liberals never quite say that, but it is what they mean.
Stick to your own kind.
She wrote, "one morning, glancing out my front window, I saw a young white couple stopped at the library. Instantly, I was flooded with emotions — astonishment, and then resentment, and then astonishment at my resentment. It all converged into a silent scream in my head of, Get off my lawn!
"The moment jolted me into realizing some things I’m not especially proud of. I had set out this library for all who lived here, and even for those who didn’t, in theory. I would not want to restrict anyone from looking at it or taking books, based on race or anything else. But while I had seen white newcomers to the neighborhood here and there, the truth was, I hadn’t set it out to appeal to white residents."
She is like a Klansman putting up a basketball hoop and watching a black player show up.
Oh the horror!
She wrote, "By bringing this modern cultural artifact here from white neighborhoods, had I set myself up, set up the neighborhood? Was I contributing to gentrification and sending the wrong message about how I wanted the neighborhood to be?
"What I resented was not this specific couple. It was their whiteness, and my feelings of helplessness at not knowing how to maintain the integrity of a black space that I had created. I was seeing up close how fragile that space can be, how its meaning can be changed in my mind, even by people who have no conscious intention to change it. That library was on my lawn, but for that moment it became theirs. I built it and drove it into the ground because I love books and always have. But I suddenly felt that I could not own even this, something that was clearly and intimately mine." Read the rest at the link
"Assimilation has been a goal of Mexican Americans for most of their history.
"When the 1930 Census classified “Mexican American” as a race, leaders of the community protested vehemently and had the classification changed back to white...."
Or was the poor fellow just a white guy who likely taught Zinn's cult?

The late Mr Kaplan was white.
The late Mr Kaplan was a high school history teacher for 15 years in LA dying in 2015.
Also, here is Erin Audry's words from a 2003 piece in Salon called "Black like me" (about nose jobs),
"When I was about 10, my older brother sometimes called me "Pug." I didn't like it, but it never really galled me the way my brother hoped it would, because as insults went, "pug" was pretty tame. This was the '70s, when the black-is-beautiful movement was in full swing and my light complexion and fine hair -- which could never muster enough kink to be whipped into the requisite Afro -- made me worry that I wasn't black enough..."

A Pearl Harbor fact that's always fascinated me is that the battleships sunk or damaged at Pearl Harbor were raised and repaired, expcept for the Arizona and the Oklahoma. At the battle of the Surigao Straights in October 1944 they "crossed the Japanese T" and rained heavy caliber naval artillery down on the Japanese fleet. Or, in the immortal words of Randy Quaid, "I'm back, boys!".

Thank you posting this...
I was beginning to think no one remembered.
If I may add.
After 80 years there still are a lot questions regarding prior knowledge by FDR (mega-D) of the Japanese Navy attack and whether he used it for political and economic reasons.

/\ "Co-conspiracy theory?" "Duplicitous" politicians? Not so difficult to understand, in light of current events in the Pacific:
He (FDR) allegedly created this consensus by provoking the Japanese into the attack on Pearl Harbor. As the revisionists describe it, Roosevelt purposefully increased tensions between Washington and Tokyo by introducing embargoes in 1940–41 on scrap metals and petroleum products that Japan needed for its war machine. By the fall of 1941, according to the revisionists, American policy makers had concluded that Japan would attack the U.S. fleet in Hawaii in the belief that the United States would then seek a settlement in the Pacific, thereby freeing Japan to create an East Asian “co-prosperity sphere.” Although Roosevelt and his closest advisers in the State, War, and Navy departments knew that an attack was imminent, the revisionists argue, they did not alert the military, believing that a surprise attack would create an overwhelming consensus for involvement in both the European and Pacific wars. As evidence of Roosevelt’s duplicity, they cite the fact that the administration failed to notify the military of decoded Japanese messages indicating that an attack would take place on December 6–7.

..but they didn't know exactly where.
Let's remember also that FDR along with Churchill executed Operation Torch without warning or declaration of war while the US had open diplomatic relations with Vichy France.

"Gentlemen don't read each others' mail" blah-blah-blah. Now they read it, mis-state it (or totally fogging make it up) and all the war is done in the press.

Never could buy it, too many moving parts especially in the Japanese Political Theater.
I buried that theory when literally every libertarian wanna-be spouted it off like canon and as often as vegans declare their absolutes.

My father said Ft Bliss was prepared for the Imperial Army to land in Central America and invade our Southern Border. He manned a 50 caliber machine gun nest on the Rio Grande before Pearl Harbor. Bought is way out of the military
When Pearl happened he reinlisted.
#10
We should help whoever wants to invade south / central America and simultaneously build a real wall.
Rock n Roll.

Martin-Bellinger report predicted 7 Dec 1941 on 31 Mar 1941:
the Martin-Bellinger Report, as it has come to be known,
described their estimate of the Japanese threat to Hawaii. Prophetically,
they wrote in the Possible Enemy Action paragraph:
(a) A declaration of war might be preceeded by:
1. A surprise submarine attack on ships in the
operating area.
2. A surprise attack on Oahu including ships
and installations in Pearl Harbor.
3. A combination of these two.
(b) It appears that the most likely and dangerous
form of attack on Oahu would be an air attack. It is believed that at present such an attack would most likely be
launched from one or more carriers which would probably approach inside of three hundred mile.
* * * * *
(e) In a dawn air attack there is a high probability
that it could be delivered as a complete surprise in spite
of any patrols we might be using and that it might find us
in a condition of readiness under which pursuit would be
slow to start.
To prevent the Japanese surprise attack that they described, Martin and
Bellinger, cognizant of the shortage of long-range reconnaissance aircraft,
described the action open to them: “Run daily patrols as far as possible to
seaward through 360 degrees to reduce the probabilities of surface or air surprise. This would be desirable but can only be effectively maintained with
present personnel and material for a very short period and as a practicable
measure cannot, therefore, be undertaken unless other intelligence indicates that a surface raid is probable within rather narrow time limits.”

[Hudson] Sitting in a plastic chair under the shade of a large rosewood tree, Alhaji Auta apologizes that he cannot serve me a full meal. He had planned to slaughter a ram in anticipation of our interview, but he was distracted by airstrikes that morning that killed some of his cattle.
"The airstrikes never hit us," the 38-year-old says as he gestures to the gun-toting figures surrounding him. In fact, Auta claims, the Nigerian military never comes into the bush for a fair fight. "They just scatter our herds and harass innocent people in the villages."
Beyond this group of 50 or so fighters crammed under the tree’s shade, I can see nothing but shrubby grassland and some hills in the distance, behind which lies the virtually unmarked border with Niger. I know we must be near Auta’s camp, but he does not trust me enough to take me to that forested militant community.

Burisma bakhsheesh
The Burisma oligarch was backed by Yanukovitch, the Putin sock puppet, who corporatized government corruption, stolen election President. Sound familiar?

...They could - it's a perfectly reasonable tactic.
On the other hand, that either makes those ships either auxiliary warships (and therefore legitimate targets) or privateers, in which case I would refer them to Paris Declaration Respecting Maritime Law (1856), which outlaws that sort of thing. The US never signed it, but has made repeated statements that it shall abide by its provisions. Either way, every Chinese merchant ship will be a legitimate target.
The Chinese want to get cute? No problems. Even a crippled USN would be able wipe the PRC's merchant fleet from the seas, and without merchant ships anything they thought they were going to get from a war would vanish once their economy collapses.

Very possible.
Or, vessels no longer required.
They may already be here awaiting inspection or in-transit by road and rail to their respective target regions.

Consider the Chinese Port Operations at the Panama Canal and the warehouse complex that links to the rail and shipping network into Nicaragua and above. After so long, can you imagine what might be positioned anywhere the operate trucking and warehouse systems?
[Marilyn Singleton] Covid, Covid, Covid. Variant, variant, variant. Trust me, I’m the government’s highest paid employee, and "I represent science." Show your papers, wear a mask, take a shot or lose your job. And the beat goes on for an infection where 99.95 percent of infected persons under age 70 years recover. It’s becoming clear that Covid-19 is not merely a disease but an excuse to concentrate power in the government.
It’s time for the political histrionics to stop. Multiple studies have shown that the consequences far outweigh any potential (and illusory) benefits of masks, lockdowns, and school closures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director admitted that the current Covid-19 mRNA vaccines, while helpful in reducing deaths and hospitalizations, do not stop transmission of the virus. "Breakthrough" cases in vaccinated persons are on the rise. Moreover, the current vaccines likely are not effective for the new, likely less lethal Omicron variant. Public health experts opine that the SARS-CoV-2 virus (that causes Covid-19) and its multiple variants are becoming endemic. That means SARS-CoV-2 and its infinite number of variants will not be eliminated, but become a manageable part of the human-viral ecosystem.
Sadly, our government is not responding in accordance with the scientific facts. Instead, federal and some local governments are mandating more vaccines, culminating in proof of vaccination to engage in society and continue living as a normal human being. This is not science. This is nascent totalitarianism.
Two lines from the 1990 Cold War era spy film, The Hunt for Red October foreshadowed our government’s warp speed trajectory to authoritarianism. "Privacy is not of major concern in the Soviet Union, comrade. It’s often contrary to the collective good." And a White House official casually boasted, "I’m a politician that means I’m a cheat and a liar."
[BabylonBee] RUSSELL, KS—Former Senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole has passed away at 98, marking his transition from a lifelong Republican to a reliable Democrat voter.
"Bob Dole was an American hero and a patriot," said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. "We are grateful for his service to the country, and we welcome him to the Democrat Party as a faithful Democrat voter for the rest of time."
According to sources, Bob Dole has already endorsed every local, state, and federal candidate with a "D" after their name, and will continue to support them via mail-in ballot for the foreseeable future.
Bob Dole's father, Doran Ray Dole, also a proud Democrat supporter, is proud to be joined by his son in voting for Democrats as well.
Bob Dole is survived by his wife Elizabeth, who is expected to endorse the Democrat presidential candidate in the 2032 election.
