[LEGALINSURRECTION] “dismantling the master narratives of white supremacy within our colleges and universities” I think I've decided I'm a White Supremacist. Being white, I know that the white violent crime rate is considerably less than half the black crime rate. Nationwide, black students graduated high school at a rate of 69 percent; Hispanics graduated at 73 percent; whites graduated at a rate of 86 percent. I know that whites have 60 percent of science and tech degrees; ten percent are Hispanic, and 8.5 percent are black.
That's not to say that white culture doesn't produce any underachievers, only that black and (some, not all) Hispanic cultures are more likely to. In my opinion, which is dismissable because I'm an old crank, it's the logical outgrowth of a culture where being considered dangerous is regarded as something to be proud of.
Being a White Supremacist seems to involve not being armed and dangerous, but being courteous and cooperative with others, and eschewing the Seven Deadly Sins.

To end the white supremist tendencies we all have, I suggest we go out and participate in a few random drive by shootings near Starbucks, or maybe go to a Panera Bread and conduct an armed robbery, maybe even send out a #WhiteLivesMatter twitter mime everytime a white person is stopped for a traffic violation.
Heck, who's with me on this...imagine what the MSM would say to roving gangs of white middle aged men harassing pedestrians and vandalizing New York Times Kiosks?

I enjoyed William H. McNeill's Plagues and Peoples. It was fascinating to see how much cities were deathtraps with negative population growth until modern times: medicine and sanitary engineering for the win.
[CaptainsJournal] Apparently, they are involved to some degree or other. I know I’ve panned Redneck Revolt before, and true enough they appear to be generally incompetent, lazy, philosophically incoherent, goofy and miserable.
But the moral of the story here is that if you intend to go armed at rallies for the purpose of protecting others, you’d better be prepared to use those arms and suffer the consequences for it, whatever they may be. This isn’t a game folks.
Frankly, I am of the opinion that no rally is going to convince anyone to rethink their flawed views of history, question their world view, or ameliorate bad decisions in politics. A rally cannot undo the effects of a century of false teaching embedded into the consciousness of multiple generations.
The sons and daughters of hippies are statists and collectivists. It’s always been this way. If you believe nothing, your children will believe anything.
[ConservativeTreehouse] People often attempt to describe the larger umbrella of control with terms like "Deep State", the "Administrative State", the "Establishment", the "industrial media", and other descriptive word assemblies. The inherent goal is trying to describe various alignments and connections of institutional government with private sector social and financial interdependency.
It is, in essence, what we generally describe as "The System".
The presidency of Donald John Trump is an existential threat to that system. A John Galt per se’. President Trump represents an uncontrollable, unaligned independent, free-thinking change-agent; a disruptor who exists entirely outside of the systems’ ability to influence favorable action.

To fathom the disruptive nature of the inherent conflict it helps to remember that roughly half of the U.S. demographic has been institutionally led to a point where their sense of being -amid the matrix of life- is defined by their acceptance of the systems’ inherent disposition of collectivism.
Perfect.
They'd let government thugs kill their neighbor' children to keep their magic paychecks, and that is 90%+ of our problem in America today.

These are truly exciting times for America. It is amazing to see Trump outmaneuver and counter. The swamp of fools cannot adapt.They are stuck on ideas and beliefs of no value or usefulness. They cannot change and so to our benefit dither away their plans. Trump is focused and will in my opinion deliver. He is truly working for America.
[TrevorLouden] If President Trump compromises on DACA, you can kiss America goodbye.
It’s very simple math, people. We can safely assume that the vast majority of DACA beneficiaries will vote Democrat, if allowed to stay in the country. So will their families. That will be almost 5 million new Democrat voters, many of them concentrated in swing states, or potential swing states such as North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Florida.
The left understands that DACA is "a critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success" ‐ permanently.
Charles Benninghoff of Pray For US has done the math. It makes horrifying and sobering reading. Horrifying and sobering reading continues at link.

That was the most chilling phrase from the Wikileaks: "Permanent Democratic majority." They were going to give citizenship to the illegals and then rule us in a one-party state forever. The US government would become a larger version of the failed city governments that Democrats are responsible for.

It already has in California. I keep trying to tell you people it's not our fault. Blame Bush and Clinton. They're the ones who refused to secure the border. California just happened to be on that border and attractive to colonists. Don't be so smug. It could happen to you.

After the uprising of the 17th of June
The Secretary of the Writers' Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
[VDH Private Papers] Trump is commonsensically undoing, piece by piece, the main components of Obama’s legacy.
Donald Trump continues to baffle. Never Trump Republicans still struggle to square the circle of quietly agreeing so far with most of his policies, as they loudly insist that his record is already nullified by its supposedly odious author. Or surely it soon will be discredited by the next Trumpian outrage. Or his successes belong to congressional and Cabinet members, while his failures are all his own. Rarely do they seriously reflect on what otherwise over the last year might have been the trajectory of a Clinton administration.
Contrary to popular supposition, the Left loathes Trump not just for what he has done. (It is often too consumed with fury to calibrate carefully the particulars of the Trump agenda.) Rather, it despises him mostly for what he superficially represents.
To many progressives and indeed elites of all persuasions, Trump is also the Prince of Anti-culture: mindlessly naïve American boosterism; conspicuous, 1950s-style unapologetic consumption; repetitive and limited vocabulary; fast-food culinary tastes; Queens accent; herky-jerky mannerisms; ostentatious dress; bulging appearance; poorly disguised facial expressions; embracing rather than sneering at middle-class appetites; a lack of subtlety, nuance, and ambiguity.
In short Trump’s very essence wars with everything that long ago was proven to be noble, just, and correct by Vanity Fair, NPR, The New Yorker, Google, the Upper West Side, and The Daily Show. There is not even a smidgeon of a concession that some of Trump’s policies might offer tens of thousands of forgotten inner-city youth good jobs or revitalize a dead and written-off town in the Midwest, or make the petroleum of the war-torn Persian Gulf strategically irrelevant to an oil-rich United States.
Yet one way of understanding Trump ‐ particularly the momentum of his first year ‐ is through recollection of the last eight years of the Obama administration. In reductionist terms, Trump is the un-Obama. Surprisingly, that is saying quite a lot more than simple reductive negativism. Republicans have not seriously attempted to roll back the administrative state since Reagan. On key issues of climate change, entitlements, illegal immigration, government spending, and globalization, it was sometimes hard to distinguish a Bush initiative from a Clinton policy or a McCain bill from a Biden proposal. There was often a reluctant acceptance of the seemingly inevitable march to the European-style socialist administrative state.
[ISRAELNATIONALNEWS] Somebody needs to tell the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... that the jig is up, the game is over. Wait. My mistake. President Trump did that already but Abbas still fails to get the message.
Ditto the Democrats who can’t get it through their thick skulls that they lost, Trump won.
He won even as Liberals try every Dirty Trick to unseat him from one false charge to another; last month’s Russia collusion, last week’s mental unfitness, and today’s accusation that he’s a racist. Trump is no racist, quite the opposite if the Mar-a-Lago story ever gets told...which we’ll do in a moment.
Nor can Liberals, from their politicians to their media be taken at their word about anything, as covered in this factual thriller, "The Bathsheba Deadline."
On Abbas, read Mordechai Kedar’s brilliant assessment to better understand how that "Paleostinian" warlord Abbas cooked himself and his "people."
People, who, as I noted earlier, arrived on the scene after The Beatles.
Yes, those "Paleostinians," who became an ANCIENT CIVILIZATION June 2, 1964 owing to the PLO’s being dubiously legitimized by the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... then and not before.
We appear to be living in an age of Sore Losers. There has never been anything like it, far back as I can remember. Losers just won’t quit, even after the Fat Lady Sings.
Is there a day when Abbas and his "people" are not OUTRAGED? Is there a moment when Democrats stop bewailing Trump?
Why do I think of "Paleostinians" and American Liberals in the same breath? I don’t know. You tell me.
So now Abbas is taking his show on the road again. It works best for him Off-Broadway. Broadway, meaning Israel, already knows all the jokes.
There he goes with his claims (once again) to the UN and the EU, where they always greet him elaborately with kisses and wild applause ‐ only this time it may be the sound of one hand clapping. They’ll give him the usual ceremonies, but they’ve grown tired of him, too, like the dinner-guest who stayed too long.
Meantime, Abbas has become totally irrelevant and incoherent...starting with his curse against the United States as a country and Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... as a person.
To teach Trump a "lesson" for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Abbas babbled the following rant: "May your house be destroyed."

[Guardian] I was 19 years old when I first visited a Planned Parenthood health center. It was 1973, the same year the supreme court recognized a constitutional right to abortion in the landmark Roe v Wade decision. Decades later, who possibly could have thought that my daughter’s generation would still be fighting for the legal right for women to control our own bodies?
Anti-choice activists and lawmakers have been systematically chipping away at reproductive freedom at all levels of government, and too often doing so under the radar so that few will notice. In my travels I have met educated, successful women who have no idea of the restrictions being enacted in their own states. I’ll never forget a woman I met in Houston who, after I mentioned that Texas had passed a mandatory waiting period for abortions, responded: "No, I would know that." But we don’t always know ‐ and that’s part of the success of the anti-choice movement.
After years of this type of erosion, the Trump administration is now taking big and permanent swings at reproductive rights by nominating extreme anti-choice figures to serve as judges in lifetime positions.
The first attack came in the form of supreme court justice Neil Gorsuch, who has a disturbing record of ruling against women’s rights, but it goes far beyond the high court. For all levels of the federal judiciary, Republicans are pushing through Trump’s staunchly anti-abortion judges at a rapid clip and putting reproductive rights in jeopardy for generations to come.
These men (yes, his nominees are mostly men and overwhelmingly white) are the textbook definition of extreme. Consider Mark Norris, who Trump nominated for a lifetime position on a district court in Tennessee. Norris is an anti-choice Republican state senator who believes that a woman’s right to access abortion should be "very limited".

I suspect 'Roe vs Wade' is at the root of much of the so-called Trump Derangement Syndrome. Cultural flushing of the old order provides the incentive necessary for immigration and the introduction of the new order. Not exactly a new concept, is it ?

A lot of millineals think Roe vs Wade was the decision George Washington had to mak when crossing the Delaware River.

Given that any doctor can legally prescribe an abortifacient, and given that there are perfectly respectable mail order pharmacies to deliver them if the local pharmacies won’t, there is a good deal less need for actual abortion clinics.

I'm giving the fruit of my womb
The boot, down a chute, to the tomb,
For rights reproductive
Are mighty seductive
Stood next to a groom, or a broom.

I remember being in the Womb. I was not expecting to be pulled apart piece by piece with no anesthetic.
Back then, I had reproductive rights. A right to live and reproduce were I so inclined.
[PJMedia] I have news for Cory Booker -- now dubbed Cryin' Cory on Twitter, evidently because he got a little bent over some recent remarks of our president. Donald Trump's not a racist. He's a "scorch."
Wazzat, you ask?
As a rough contemporary of the president, hailing from the same metropolis, he from Queens and me from somewhat more tony Manhattan, parts of it anyway, I remember a certain type of schoolyard personality being called a "scorch." At least it went that way at Senator Robert F. Wagner Senior Junior High School, aka JHS 167, back in the fifties.
A scorch was the kind of kid who, when someone muffed an easy fly in stickball, would scream out, seemingly totally incensed, "You [f-word]ing [derogatory word for Puerto Rican], how could you [f-word]ing drop that [f-word]ing ball, you dumb [f-word]ing [derogatory word for Puerto Rican] idiot?!"
Of course, no one paid that much attention because it was just one of our scorches -- there were more than one, of all races and creeds -- mouthing off and, soon enough, he and the Puerto Rican kid were heading off to the local candy store together -- known, in my case, as Jesse's Jip Joint -- to share a cup of hot French Fries with way too much ketchup, as if they were best buddies. Indeed, often, they were.
Now we have a "scorch" as president. Some say this is a bad thing. I -- you may guess -- say no. A president who is a scorch is just what America needs after decades of escalating political correctness that, of late, has reached ultra-nauseating levels, particularly on our college campuses and among the mega-hypocritical (someone has to come out with a neologism that goes beyond mere hypocrisy) media, almost all of whom say scorch-like things when they don't think anyone's listening. It's human life.
Ah, you're saying, but he's monsieur le président. He must be diplomatique.
Oh, really? Like the foreign minister of Norway or some such?
How about someone who creates real change and actually makes things better for the people he helps govern in a democratic state, but on occasion says ugly things that might make you wince (or not)? As past republican presidencies show, he'll going to attacked and compared to both a monkey and H*tler (but never to Stalin or Mao) regardless of what he says or does - so, what the hell? This one constantly distracts the "elites" attack bulls with his twitting muleta, making them miss the sword entirely
h/t Instapundit
Let’s forget for a moment whether Trump ever called any countries at all sh*tholes. It seems as though the only report we have of this is Dick Durbin’s and Dick Durbin is known to be a fabulist.
However, let’s for a moment contemplate the reactions of the world to this word that might or might not have been said.
Let’s, in particular, contemplate the reactions of the countries that thought themselves insulted.
Take Haiti for instance. Anderson Cooper took offense on behalf of Haiti.
...But, Mr. Cooper, the fact that the people of Haiti have survived enormous adversity doesn’t make the place where they live not a sh*thole. On the contrary. It makes it a sh*thole that takes an enormous amount of strength and endurance to survive, but it is still a sh*thole.
And that’s why their people try to come here by the droves. But the fact that it’s a sh*thole or that its people are suffering doesn’t obligate us to take immigrants from Haiti. Because we are not a sort of charity shelter that takes in the deserving. We’re a country that takes in people who might become productive citizens. In those terms, Haitians should be judged as everyone else: "What do you bring to America, and what can you do for America?" Just to put it in proper perspective: Sarah came to USA from Portugal. And since then published a whole bunch of highly regarded SF/fantasy/history books, which I heartily recommend
