[PJ] Mere days after a Bernie Sanders supporter shot Congressman Steve Scalise and two black members of his police detail, a Connecticut professor posted a Medium article on Facebook declaring: "Let Them F*cking Die." The professor went on to write that white people are "inhuman a**holes" who still prop up a "white supremacy system," so black people should not help them if their lives are in danger.
How should the allegedly oppressed "end this now"? Another post explained that. "It is past time for the racially oppressed to do what people who believe themselves to be 'white' will not do, put end to the vectors of their destructive mythology of whiteness and their white supremacy system," Williams added in another post, including the hashtag #LetThemF*ckingDie.
On Thursday, Williams also posted a Medium article by that very title, which lamented that black Capitol Police officers who were assigned to Scalise's detail had acted to protect him. The article, posted under a pseudonym, advocated letting white people die, as a form of combatting white supremacy.

Well, if you want to call a country made up of 75%+ whites (check with Hispanics who they identify as) which touts itself as a democracy a 'white supremacy system' then you have a very tortured view of the world. I'll take it you prefer an oligarchy or dictatorship of the majority by the few. You can find those readily available all over the world. You just prefer to suck off the tit of the white supremacy system than endure life in those lands.
[American Thinker] The special election in the 6th District of Georgia was universally billed "a high-stakes referendum on Trump" in all the much hyped build-up coming from the left and its media allies. Not a local election, not a fluke election. A moment-of-truth Referendum on Trump.
After all, weren't President Trump's poll numbers down? Didn't the "resistance" put on a mega-protest show and continue its tantrum in all the days-of-rage riots on college campuses? Wasn't President Trump engulfed in scandal for colluding with the Russians to win the 2016 election that was rightfully Hillary Clinton's? Weren't the leftists whispering, "President Pence"?
Rubbing their mousy hands together with glee, it's pretty clear that leftists thought they had a certain victory in the bag with that "narrative," along with a perfect post-election analysis, no matter what the Georgia voters thought about it.
Get a load of this now comical pompous pre-election analysis that ran earlier this week in the New York Times (emphasis mine):
[LI] What are the implications of Republican Karen Handel’s solid win (53-47 as of this writing) over Democratic darling Jon Ossoff in the Georgia Sixth District Special Election?
Democrats came into election day with high hopes, with Ossoff leading in almost every poll, tens of millions of dollars flowing in from around the country, and celebrities urging an anti-Trump vote.
Yet the Republican won the District by a larger margin than Trump did in the presidential election.
This loss comes after losses in special elections in Montana and Kansas, and another in South Carolina tonight. In all of these cases, Democrats tried to make the election a referendum about Trump.
In all of these loses, the Democratic meme is that the Democrat lost, but not by as much as expected. I don’t think Democrats will learn any lessons from these losses. In fact, they probably will learn the wrong lessons.
As I often do on election nights when Democratic disappointment is likely to be highest, I watched MSNBC. First I watched Rachel Maddow, then Lawrence O’Donnell. The MSNBC coverage was nothing short of delusional. The "a loss is really a win" approach was pervasive. Hope sprang eternal.
Maddow in particular continued to spin Trump Russia conspiracy theories. O’Donnell went on and on about how the Republican healthcare bill would be the doom of Republicans. A phrase used frequently on O’Donnell’s show was that this was an "ominous win" for Republicans because the margin was lower than when Tom Price won -- ignoring that the Republican outperformed Trump’s win.

It seems that many have misjudged the zeitgeist of the times.
I, for one, will spend no effort attempting to educate them.

Handel wins handily!
Dems are stuck in Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall corruption, identity politics and hatred. No point to educating them no mo uro, no one can tell them anything; they know everything.

Lose LoseLose, and Lose. And what was it, 54 million down the toilet as well.
I live here and Ossof got vote from suburban people who are outsiders down from Connecticut who have jobs here, not Georgians who were born here and have our Values. My family have lived in Georgia since 1745.
Screw John Ossof. We held a fair election and Ossof LOST.

Well then, Spats, the lesson is clear: Your district needs more transplants from New York and Connecticut (maybe even a few Kaliphornians) and it needs a helluva lot more illegal aliens...yeah, and some Middle Eastern refugees too.

Actual title of opinion piece at the Guardian: "That Ossoff got so many votes is damning for Trump."
Alternative title: "That Trump's fist was bruised after he punched my lights out is damning for Trump."

Price used to win by 20+% margins. He also outspent his opponents by more than an order of magnitude (i.e. >10x). And as the incumbent, Price had superior name recognition. Once Handel takes office, she'll get the advantages of incumbency (e.g. better name recognition and fundraising). She should start seeing Price-like margins once she takes office.

The totals are not listed anywhere, probably to obscure Ossoff's money advantage, but it appears Ossoff's direct and PAC spending beat Handel's 2 to 1. The news articles point to Handel's PAC spending, but not Ossoff's out-of-area direct fundraising that exceeds all of Handel's expenditures.

Does that include the in-kind contributions form the labor unions and the like: manning phone banks, GOTV events, and good ole imtimidation, etc...?

I'm guessing those aren't quantified. But Ossoff's 2 to 1 money advantage (vs his predecessors's 1 to 20 or more disadvantage), even without in-kind contributions, were probably key to his margin of defeat.
What's interesting is how close the South Carolina race was. There, the GOP guy won by 3% and outspent his opponent by 40%.
[DAWN] A YOUNG life brutally extinguished in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... . A picture of a teenager lying in a hospital bed in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. . There have been many more such images and reports. The guns have been blazing again in the wake of Pakistain’s victory in the Champions Trophy, but many of the bullets have been shorn of celebratory status. Some of them, in fact, have proved to be lethal, transforming joy into sorrow. Meanwhile, ...back at the revival hall, the pastor had finally been wrestled from the pulpit. Y'got the wrong guy! he yelled just before Sergeant Malone's billy club landed... the number of people injured in the celebratory fire runs into the hundreds. While this manner of jubilation must surely be considered odd in any civilised nation, what is more puzzling -- and disheartening -- in our case is the way in which the political elite not only tolerates such dangerous expressions of joy but is often willing to participate in the exercise. Further, it seems that our law enforcers, instead of cracking down on revellers with guns, prefer to stay at a safe distance from them. There may be the odd arrest or two at the insistence of the opposition and media, as in the case of a PPP politician in the latest instance. But then, everyone is aware that such action is taken usually to placate those sections of the public that are seen as ’overreacting’ to the perilous fallout of celebratory firing.
This country is no stranger to stern administrators fond of firing coppers on the spot. Quite often, the law enforcers are threatened with dismissal for being unable to curb a certain practice. So why don’t the same administrators use their authority to set coppers on the trail of all those who love to indulge in senseless shooting sprees? Indeed, the purge must begin with the gun-toting, firing goons who accompany all kinds of leaders, big or small, and who must celebrate all victories in this appalling manner. Unless the authorities show that they are serious about curbing the practice, celebratory firing will continue to take many lives that need not have been cut short.

[IsraelTimes] Brokering a deal with Egypt to ship in fuel, the former Fatah security chief may have managed to ’save’ the Strip... and helped Egypt and Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", knock the Paleostinian president down a few pegs.
Gazoo’s electricity crisis may be drawing to an end, and as the lights come back on, Paleostinians are looking at an unlikely hero who managed to broker a deal between Egypt and Hamas: Mohammad Dahlan.
Egypt on Tuesday was expected to begin sending dozens of fuel trucks to the Hamas-run Strip to bring the Gazoo power station back online and supply electricity to residents.

As I understand it, Dahlan is actually a good guy by Gaza standards, in the sense that Hamas hates him. It is significant that he can get the current boss to kiss his ring then he turns on the lights for local folk; it is a major kick in the nuts to Hamas.
Anything that delays the bulk of Gazans packing their suitcases, getting a fake Syrian passport, and heading for Deutschland is, IMO, a negative development.
On Sunday, six ballistic missiles launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched from western Iran, and came crashing down on their targets in Syria’s eastern governorate of Deir Ezzor. The attack, Iranian officials said, was retaliation for the Islamic State'fs June 7 terror attacks in Tehran, which left 18 people dead. An IRGC spokesman said the attack was also a “warning message” for the terror group’s “regional and international allies.”
Iran’s top leadership has left little doubt who it believes those allies are. In an earlier speech, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded to President Donald Trump’s remarks accusing Iran of being the godfather of terrorism in the Middle East. “You [the United States] and your agents are the source of instability in the Middle East,” the Iranian leader charged. “Who created the Islamic State? America.”
Iran’s terror problem, however, cannot be resolved by lobbing ballistic missiles at eastern Syria or rhetorical bombs at the United States. The June 7 terror attack by five lightly armed but well-organized terrorists against two of Iran’s top landmarks — the parliament and the mausoleum of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic — serve as a stark reminder of the dangers of blowback from Iran’s multiple interventions in the Arab world. Without some kind of introspection, Iran will likely remain in the line of fire of Sunni jihadis for a long time to come.
