[Patriot Journal] Oh, boy. Democrats are going to be reeling over this one.
A black pastor has been watching what’s been going on in this country over the last years.
It seems like he’s not at all happy with the way things are turning out. But not in the way Democrats expected him to be.
Because this black Christian leader is calling out the left’s favorite new tool: Black Lives Matter. And he’s condemning their ideology.
From Newsweek:
"COVID is a medical problem and a disease problem that is going to run its course," [Pastor E.W.] Jackson said. "I think Black Lives Matter could so infect the culture of our country, so divide us racially that it could take a generation to undo the damage they are doing."

Black people are not some monolith. There are a wide variety of views among black people, just as there are a wide variety of views among any subset of people.
There are those who do not profit from such a blindingly obvious fact.

[Babylon Bee] UNKNOWN LOCATION—Hunter Biden was really worried after hearing his dad was going to begin cracking down on certain drugs.
But the son of the president breathed a sigh of relief after learning it was just menthol cigarettes that his dad was going to start cracking down on.
"He's cracking down on what!?" he said as aides told him about the ban. "OH! Menthol! I thought you said meth. I was really worried there for a second. If he were to crack down on crack, meth, boom, bang, pow, heroin, blue sky, shrooms, edibles, or any of hundreds of other types of drugs, I'd be in big trouble. Allegedly, of course."
"Uh, anyway, yes -- I fully support my father's crackdown on menthol cigarettes. Very bad for your health."
At publishing time, Biden had once again grown worried after hearing his dad had also cracked down on something else, but it turned out to just be flavored cigars and not having shady business dealings with Ukraine and China.

Tobacco companies probably told the politicians they won't fight a ban on menthol if they can get marijuana legalized. Win-win. The politicians get to look good and Big Tobacco gets a lucrative new product.

[AlAhram] Æthiopia is preparing to hold general elections in June against a background of multiple conflicts between the government and the country’s ethnic groups
As the date of the Æthiopian general elections slated for June approaches, armed conflicts in the country are mounting amid local, regional and international fears of the disintegration of a state that has been subject to consecutive crises.
According to an Æthiopian ombudsman report released on Sunday, 200 people were killed in the country in festivities between its two largest ethnic groups of the Oromos and the Amhara. According to Æthiopia’s 2007 census, the Oromos make up 34 per cent of the population and the Amhara 27 per cent.

The conflict between residents of neighboring Kyrgyz and Tajik villages began on April 28 in the area of the Kok-Tash village of the Batken region. The Tajik side unilaterally installed surveillance cameras near the Golovnoy water distribution point, the Kyrgyz side opposed. The screams turned into a fight - the participants threw stones at each other, then shots sounded. On April 29, the military from both sides joined the confrontation. Small arms were used, the Tajik border guards used mortars and grenade launchers, the Kyrgyz side - snipers.

A cursory inspection revealed none of the Kyrg or Taji rounds impacted my property. A quick call to our HOA rep indicated there was 'nothing significant to report'. As a result, I'm calling it.... none of my business.

For more than two decades Tajikistan has been a recognized trafficking route for narcotics from Afghanistan to Russia and onto Europe. Kyrgyzstan plays a role in that movement. Likely at the heart of the villages' conflict is drug trafficking.

[JPost] - Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Brennan slammed Jews on Tuesday, demanding they be held to a higher standard than others. "I always found it difficult to fathom how a nation of people deeply scarred by a history replete with prejudice, religious persecution and unspeakable violence perpetrated against them would not be empathetic champions of those whose rights and freedoms are still abridged."
Brennan made his comment while posting an op-ed he had written in The New York Times about the Palestinian quest for statehood. In his telling of it, he implied that Jews must have a special empathy for others while non-Jews have no special need to be empathetic.
Brennan has not made similar comments about other victimized people, such as the African American descendants of slaves in the US; nor has he held other countries to a higher standard based on the ethnic and religious origins of their citizens. When the time is right, John, we'll show your Paleosimian pals how well we learned the lessons of Holocaust.

With Donald Trump out of the picture, he can now direct his wrath at the Jew. Perhaps Brennan has signed a secret protocol that will permit the invasion of Poland, Oklahoma, or Indiana.
IF you tell anyone one of the founders of the Nazi Party spent the war living in an apartment over a general store in Canada, writing puff piece personal profiles of the other leadership and telling anyone who would listen that what Adolf was doing wasn't _real_ Naziism, I think they'll look at you like you've grown a second head.
The Nazis more or less actively tried to recruit communists or former communists to their side during the early 30's, and then (I suspect) aggressively filtered out the ones they thought would be unreliable in the Night of the Long Knives.

With regard to snappy dressers. One of my German teachers in college (a long time ago) told us an old WW2 German joke: Hitler walks into a hotel sees a doorman with a very impressive and elaborate uniform and orders him to be arrested on the spot. His aides comply but then ask Hitler why he was arrested. His reply: "Goering is coming, and he'll want us to spend a fortune so that everyone is wearing this uniform."

My problem is that the short answer feels too glib, but if I give a list of half a dozen history books that circle back to the same "yup," it sounds time consuming.
Also, they both seem to have a really big affiliation with the concept of Lebensunwertes Leben which I've really had enough of to last a lifetime.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
