Google IQ of the countries of the world. It should not be "white privledge" it should be Asian privledge. But again, compare the number of different nationalities in the US and China. Then ask about Unions.

At some point you have to start holding the state and local officials accountable for their actions.
I'm beginning to think that those "state and local officials' that approved the 'sanctuary city' laws were in reality desperate for some action that this was they only way they saw to get any.
This is Portland after all, where the women hate men and the men view women in disgust and, well, something (I won't go there.)

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Firefighters who responded to a car crash on Chicago's South Side early Thursday morning wound up having to take cover after someone shot at their fire truck. Un-fucking-believable.
Sadly typical. The colonists do that in the French banlieues, too.
The crew was responded around 2:30 a.m. to a two-car crash at East 79th Street and South Yates Boulevard in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood and an argument between two people involved in the crash broke out in front of the fire truck.
A person involved in the crash allegedly called a man to come to the scene. Police said that man grabbed a handgun from his car and started firing shots into a crowd.
A bullet struck the windshield of Fire Engine 126 and at least one firefighter was cut by flying glass.

You mess with a fireman, you've messed with the unknown. These guys don't face the same scrutiny that the police are always under. They know how to start a fire just as well as put one out. How to use and ax to breakdown all your doors to "rescue you", and to put a hole in the roof to "ventilate your home", and to use miss-diagnose smoke inhalation with a heart attack and thus the unfortunate use of the defibrillator on the chest area. And they radio ahead to the ER doctor who knows these guys with the appropriate codes so he will know that whatever he does don't use a anesthesiologist on this one. And there ain't nutin you can do because you are strapped securely to the cot.

Among HPD in Houston there's a story about a guy that Fire Dept ambulance picked up for transport at a domestic shooting off of MLK. Stretchered him, strapped him down, loaded him. His common law wife insisted on riding in the ambulance, and she was so funky both paramedics rode in the cab. He expired from 27 ice pick stabs on the way to the hospital. (He didn't have the stabs when he was loaded.)

[BREITBART] Jason Osamede Okundaye, Ethnic Minorities Officer for Pembroke College at the University of Cambridge, is being investigated after cheering on violent ’Black Lives Matter’ rioters in an extraordinary anti-white online rant.
"ALL whites people are racist," tweeted the Cambridge Ethnic Minorities Officer, as rioters protesting the death of alleged drug pusher Rashan Jermaine Charles attacked police and members of the public in Dalston, East London.
"White middle class, white working class, white men, white women, white gays, white children they can ALL geddit [get it]," he declared.
Despite making a commitment to "ensuring a zero-tolerance approach to instances of racism and racial harassment" on his Pembroke College profile, the 20-year-old appeared to revel in the racial violence overtaking London: "Watching these middle-class white people despair over black people protesting in their colonised Dalston is absolutely delicious," he jeered.
Okundaye also shared a picture captioned "You’re doing amazing, sweetie" with the text "Me @ these rioters in Dalston #NoJusticeNoPeace" -- as agitators threw Molotov cocktails, fireworks and other missiles at police, attacked members of the public, and even attempted to force their way into the cabin of a terrified delivery driver.

ALL whites people are racist
Evidence to the contrary, I'm beginning to hope so.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States vowed "strong and swift actions against the architects of authoritarianism" on Sunday in response to what it called a flawed election in Venezuela of a constitutional super-body under leftist President Nicolas Maduro.
"The United States stands by the people of Venezuela, and their constitutional representatives, in their quest to restore their country to a full and prosperous democracy," the U.S. State Department said in a statement.
"We will continue to take strong and swift actions against the architects of authoritarianism in Venezuela, including those who participate in the National Constituent Assembly as a result of today's flawed election," it said.
The State Department condemned violence by Venezuelan authorities against protesters and urged governments in the region and around the world "to hold accountable those who undermine democracy, deny human rights, bear responsibility for violence and repression, or engage in corrupt practices."
Oh noes, not the dreaded sternly worded letters!

Pff, US State Department. Venezuela's government is legitimately elected. Jimmy Carter said so. This is just more globalist "get everyone in debt to our banks" bullshit. Venezuela isn't under their control and they *hate* it. They want socialism? Let them have it, good and hard. But let's not pretend the US State Department is some kind of honest opposition.

And we will do *what*, O Great State Department? The problem with coercion is that some people can not be coerced. We are not going to send in the Marines and the Chavistas are already inflicting more economic damage than any sanctions on themselves.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) ‐ Venezuelan electoral authorities said more than 8 million people voted Sunday to create a constitutional assembly endowing President Nicolas Maduro's ruling socialist party with virtually unlimited powers ‐ a report more than double the estimates of independent experts and opposition leaders who met the announcement with fury and derision.
National Electoral Council President Tibisay Lucena announced just before midnight that turnout was 41.53 percent, or 8,089,320 people. Members of the opposition said they believed between 2 million and 3 million people voted and one well-respected independent analysis put the number at 3.6 million.
The electoral council's vote counts in the past have traditionally been seen as reliable and generally accurate, but Sunday's widely mocked announcement appeared certain to escalate the polarization and political conflict paralyzing the country.
"The people have delivered the constitutional assembly," Maduro said on national television. "More than 8 million in the middle of threats ... it's when imperialism challenges us that we prove ourselves worthy of the blood of the liberators that runs through the veins of men, women, children and young people."
Across the capital, Venezuelans had appeared to be staying away from the polls in huge numbers in a show of protest against the vote. Venezuela's chief prosecutor's office reported 10 deaths in new rounds of the clashes between protesters and police that have killed at least 125 and wounded nearly 2,000 since protests began in April. Seven police officers were wounded when a fiery explosion went off as they drove past piles of trash that had been used to blockade a street in an opposition stronghold in eastern Caracas.
"If it wasn't a tragedy ... if it didn't mean more crisis, the electoral council's number would almost make you laugh," opposition leader Freddy Guevara said on Twitter. Maduro has threatened that one of the constitutional assembly's first acts would be jailing Guevara for inciting violence.
An estimated 3.6 million participated in the vote, according to one exit poll based on surveys from 110 voting centers conducted by New York investment bank Torino Capital and a Venezuela public opinion company. That number equates to about 18.5 percent of registered voters.
"The results thus suggest that the government maintains an important loyal core of supporters that it can mobilize in both electoral and non-electoral scenarios," the report concluded.
The same exit poll also noted that Venezuela has an estimated 2.6 million government employees, "suggesting that a large fraction of the votes could have not been voluntary."
A list of nations including Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Spain, Britain and the United States said they would not recognize Sunday's vote. The Trump administration again promised "strong and swift actions" against Venezuelan officials, including the 545 participants in the constitutional assembly, many of them low-ranking party members. The U.S. did not say whether it would sanction Venezuelan oil imports, a measure with the potential to destabilize Maduro's government and deepen the country's humanitarian crisis.
Maduro said he had received congratulations from the governments of Cuba, Bolivia and Nicaragua, among others.
Across this capital of more than 2 million people, dozens of polling places were virtually empty Sunday, including many that in previous elections saw hours-long lines of thousands voting to keep the government in power over the last two decades.
At the Poliedro sports and cultural complex in western Caracas, several thousand people waited about two hours to vote, many drawn from opposition-dominated neighborhoods where polling places were closed. But at least three dozen other sites visited by The Associated Press had no more than a few hundred voters at any one time, with many virtually empty.
Opposition leaders had called for a boycott of the vote, declaring it rigged for the ruling party, and by late afternoon they were declaring the apparent low turnout to be a resounding victory. Ahead of the vote, the opposition organized a series of work stoppages as well as a July 16 protest vote that it said drew more than 7.5 million symbolic votes against the constitutional assembly.
"It's very clear to us that the government has suffered a defeat today," said Julio Borges, president of the opposition-controlled but largely powerless National Assembly. "This vote brings us closer to the government leaving power."
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles urged Venezuelans to protest again Monday.
Maduro called the vote for a constitutional assembly in May after a month of protests against his government, which has overseen Venezuela's descent into a devastating crisis during its four years in power. Thanks to plunging oil prices and widespread corruption and mismanagement, Venezuela's inflation and homicide rates are among the world's highest, and widespread shortages of food and medicine have citizens dying of preventable illnesses and rooting through trash to feed themselves.
The winners among the 5,500 ruling-party candidates running for 545 seats in the constituent assembly will have the task of rewriting the country's constitution and will have powers above and beyond other state institutions, including the opposition-controlled congress.
Maduro made clear in a televised address Saturday that he intends to use the assembly not just to rewrite the country's charter but to govern without limitation. Describing the vote as "the election of a power that's above and beyond every other," Maduro said he wants the assembly to strip opposition lawmakers and governors of constitutional immunity from prosecution ‐ one of the few remaining checks on ruling party power.
Declaring the opposition "already has its prison cell waiting," Maduro added: "All the criminals will go to prison for the crimes they've committed."
He said the new assembly would begin to govern within a week, with its first task in rewriting the constitution to be "a total transformation" of the office of Venezuela's chief prosecutor, a former government loyalist who has become the highest-ranking official to publicly split from the president.
"People aren't in agreement with this," Daniel Ponza, a drywall contractor, said Sunday as he watched a few dozen people outside a polling place in El Valle, a traditional stronghold of the ruling Chavista movement in western Caracas. "People are dying of hunger, looking for food in the trash. And I think this is just going to make things worse."
Still, for many others, the looming likelihood of authoritarian government was appealing after months of street blockades and street clashes.
Sculptor Ricardo Avendano traveled from the opposition-dominated eastern neighborhood of Las Mercedes to vote at the Poliedro complex, saying the government needed total power to control food prices and shut down protests.
"The most important thing is imposing order," he said. "If I'd been president there wouldn't be protesters in the streets. They'd be prisoners." A democrat wet dream!

[FoxNews] Russian President Vladimir Putin said Sunday that 755 U.S. diplomats will be expelled from Russia by Sept. 1, according to an interview on Russian television.
The expulsions had been announced Friday in response to a new law passed in Congress that expanded sanctions, but Sunday's statement was the first time a large number of Americans were confirmed as involved.
It was "a regrettable and uncalled for act," a State Department official told The Associated Press. Earlier, a State Department official told Fox News, "It is our policy to not comment on the number of individuals serving at our missions abroad."
Russia's Foreign Ministry said it is ordering the U.S. Embassy to reduce the number of embassy and consular employees in the country to 455.
"I decided it is time for us to show: We do not intend to leave U.S. actions unanswered," said Putin, according to Interfax News Agency.
The U.S. has taken an "unprovoked step towards worsening bilateral relations," Putin added.
He also said that Russia could consider other options in response to the U.S., but that he hoped it would not come down to that.
Putin noted the recent creation of a de-escalation zone in southern Syria as one example of how the countries have worked together.
However, in terms of general relations, Putin said: "We have waited long enough, hoping that the situation would perhaps change for the better. But it seems that even if the situation is changing, it's not for anytime soon."
The new American sanctions were in retaliation both for Russia's takeover of Crimea in 2014 and Russian interference in the U.S. 2016 presidential election. Related Rantberg post from yesterday: The Sanctions Blowback From the EU Begins
What surprised me is that we had 1210 diplomats In Russian in the first place, I've always thought we had maybe 20 or at most a couple hundreds there. I guess I better start learning more about embassies employment, not just who's in charge!

[DAWN] The United States forces successfully tried out Sunday a missile interception system the US hopes to set up on the Korean peninsula, military officials said following a trial just days after North Korea's second test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
In the American test of the so-called THAAD system, a medium-range missile was launched from a US Air Force C-17 aircraft flying over the Pacific and a THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) unit in Alaska "detected, tracked and intercepted the target," the US Missile Defense Agency said.
It said this was the 15th successful intercept in 15 tests for the weapons system known as THAAD.

So evidently the rating who mis-designated the target as 'friendly' in the last test was kept away from the console. (You know, the one where the interceptor self destructed?)

[DAWN] KARACHI: A sessions court sentenced on Saturday a shopkeeper to 10 years in prison in a case pertaining to the abduction and rape of a minor girl.
Hamza Khan was found guilty of subjecting a six-year-old girl to a sexual assault in a Korangi locality in November 2015.
Additional district and sessions judge (East) Zahiba Khattak, who read out the conviction order after recording evidence of witnesses and arguments from both sides, also imposed a fine of Rs50,000. In case of default the convict would undergo an additional six-month imprisonment.
The court ruled that the victim had given an explicit testimony about the incident and categorically deposed against the accused, adding that other witnesses and documentary evidence also corroborated her statement.
The prosecution said that the victim had gone to the shop of the accused to purchase something, but he subjected her to rape.

[IsraelTimes] Organizers of event had previously said they would bar participants from carrying ’nationalist’ displays
Someone announced they would pull their donations if the ban were upheld?
The organizers of reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... ’s annual SlutWalk announced that Zionist symbols would be allowed at the August 12 event, overturning an earlier decision which barred participants from carrying any such religious signs.
Speaking to Haaretz, one of the event’s organizers, Red, said the event would be open to anyone wishing to protest rape culture, including those who would choose to display Zionist or Jewish symbols. The organizer added that he believed SlutWalk Chicago should apologize to Jews for the previous ruling.
"We are not banning any symbols or any kind of ethnic or heritage flags," Red told Haaretz. "Those are welcome, everyone is welcome to express themselves as they see fit at SlutWalk. And we encourage people to bring signs and symbols that represent fighting sexism, patriarchy, rape culture, and that takes a lot of different forms for different people, and we support them in how they decide to show up for SlutWalk."
SlutWalk Chicago had originally banned Zionist symbols in a statement July 16, less than a month after the organizers of a separate parade in the city celebrating the lesbian community banned three Jewish women carrying Jewish Pride flags.
"We still stand behind @DykeMarchChi’s decision to remove the Zionist contingent from their event, [and] we won’t allow Zionist displays at ours," read the official statement on Twitter," SlutWalk Chicago said in the statement, adding that "all participants will be well protected, so [people] making Zionist or any other similarly nationalist, imperialist displays will be ejected [from the event]."
According to Haaretz, SlutWalk later reached out to members of Chicago’s Jewish and Moslem communities to explain that the event would be inclusive to all participants.
"As a feminist person myself, I feel very strongly about Paleostinian liberation and radical Jewish resistance," Red told Haaretz. "I care very deeply about those concerns, but I do think that at SlutWalk Chicago we have some apologizing to do around the confusion with some of our tweets."
SlutWalk is an event held in multiple cities around the world aimed at drawing attention to women’s rights and widespread sexual harassment.
On June 24, organizers of the 21st annual Chicago Dyke March told the women that the rainbow flags with a white Star of David in the center would be a trigger to people who found it offensive.
A Dyke March collective member told the Windy City Times that the women were told to leave because the flags "made people feel unsafe," and that the march was "anti-Zionist" and "pro-Paleostinian."
More than 1,500 LGBTQ individuals and their supporters participated in the march.
