[American Thinker] Even stranger than Don Lemon’s fairy tale that white people are responsible for violent terrorism in this country, is the fact that no national conservative media figures refuted him.
A shame, because it is so easily done. And so important to do.
Lemon concocted his claim in front of CNN’s Cuomo the Lesser, who stared dumbstruck as his colleague sketched his vision of white supremacists running amok with terror and violence in their wake.
Cuomo has made a career of shutting up and nodding his head when black people like D. L. Hughley come on his show and insist that white violence against black people is wildly out of proportion. A lie.
The following day, Lemon challenged his angry critics to check the numbers: White terror is eight times greater than other racial terror.
In response, all that we heard from conservative media was fake outrage. Calls for his firing. Demands for a retraction. But not much in the way of using facts to show that Lemon was wrong. Dangerously wrong.
Not that many people expected much else from most conservative pundits. These are the same people who cower in front of "It’s okay to be white" signs.
Well, it’s not okay to be white. That is Lemon’s stock in trade. And he and others ply it so well that most cannot see or even declare the obvious: That over the last five years, black mob violence in America has been -- by far -- the greatest source of domestic terror.

not sure how author defines 'terror'
it is certainly true that the overwhelming number of homicide victims are black and of the cases where the race of the killer is known, the overwhelming number of killers are also black -- even Obama once admitted this

[The Atlantic] Running late after several wrong turns, I made a final, desperate attempt to locate Shaye Elliott’s home by driving into what appeared to be an apple orchard. Down a dirt path, past a gaggle of squawking geese, in the shadow of the town’s 10-story cross, there it was: the two-acre property outside Wenatchee, Washington, on which Elliott cultivates nearly all the food she feeds herself, her husband, and their four children. The Elliotts’ squat three-bedroom house, which they renovated themselves, was nestled among a pigpen, a rabbit hutch, a chicken coop, two pastures, and three gardens, the sum total of which Elliott refers to as her "homestead"‐a nod to the back-to-basics, pioneer-inflected movement that inspired her lifestyle.
Shortly after I arrived, Elliott started preparing breakfast. As she poached eggs taken from her coop and sizzled potatoes in fat rendered from ducks she’d slaughtered last fall, she recounted a recent trip to Los Angeles. She still seemed scarred by the experience. "I couldn’t bear it," she told me. "Everything smelled like Lysol and Febreze, and I was just like, ’Oh my gosh, the sound of the traffic!’ " That visit had admittedly been better than her previous one, when she ate "that kind of food"‐a restaurant salad prepared with conventionally grown ingredients‐and promptly threw up.
Elliott, who is 32 years old, "homesteads" not because it’s practical (it’s not) or because she grew up farming (she didn’t) but because, she says, modern technology "has stripped people of their purpose." In hopes of "drawing on and learning things of the past," she has for eight years rejected an increasing number of modern conveniences. Like the 19th-century homesteaders who traveled west in covered wagons, she churns butter, stocks her larder before winter, and treats illnesses with herbs. Unlike the pioneers, however, she enthusiastically broadcasts her life to an audience of Instagram followers, YouTube subscribers, book buyers, and 100,000 monthly readers of her blog, The Elliott Homestead. One of her chickens, Helen, has become a celebrity for antics like sneaking into the house to peck at butter. "You think these Instagram Stories are made up," Elliott said as a less famous chicken wandered through the front door. "Very much not."
Elliott belongs to a growing network of bloggers who have tapped into‐and fueled‐the growing homesteading movement, which encourages self-reliance through the embrace of traditional skills and subsistence farming. A homesteader seeks to "be a producer and not just a consumer," Elliott said. (She and others distinguish themselves from farmers in harvesting food solely for their own needs, not to sell.) The appeal of this retro-agrarian lifestyle transcends ideological differences, uniting farmwives and feminists, hippies and Christians, preppers and yuppies, from Brooklyn to rural Alaska. Despite its ostensible rejection of consumerism, the subculture has spawned a brisk trade in homesteading-themed TV shows, books, gear, and courses. Last year, the inaugural Homesteaders of America conference drew 1,500 attendees‐more than twice the expected turnout‐and organizers expect hundreds more this year.

Author is obviously oblivious to 4,000 year of human history. Being cocooned in an urban environment that never exited till about 100 years ago does that to you. You believe history started with your birth. It's been less than a hundred years that more people live in metro areas than rural areas.
What makes homesteading harder today than a hundred years ago is property taxes leached to sustain the non-productives in the urban areas. You have to raise more than you need to just sustain you and yours, but to sustain a state that farms votes with other people's money.

But, but, but how else can consolidated public (gummit) school systems be sustained, and the Blue Birds... how can you buy and operate the Blue Bird buses? Everyone knows busing is the key to social justice and equality.

My grandparents were self sustaining farmers. My mother and father were raised on small farms. 129 acres for my Mom and about the same for my Dad.123 acres. Hand milked cows Jerseys and Holsteins in a Dairy for my Mom and Pecans and Eggs for my dad. These were the cash makers. Big Gardens both families. Hunting in the fall. Hog slaughters and selling Calves. The war sent my mother to College and saw my Father commissioned to fly a fighter against the Japanese..My brother and I made our living off the wars thru'out the next generation. We grew up in Asia, I married in Asia. Retired in the North Georgia mountains. We aren't farmers anymore. But I remember . Still own the Land.

Looking at the romantic Mrs. Elliott’s website, one sees that she also uses her social media presence to market her cookbooks and an essential oils franchise — clearly a modern version of egg money that pays for her internet devices and internet use.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Although Omani politics seems to be cautious and quiet in its positions and statements, it is actually the only Arab country that has good relations with the main effective parties in the region: Gulf States, Iran and Israel.
What distinguishes the sultanate from other countries that tried to have this same position is that it’s clear and it practices its illusory sovereignty in its political methodology publicly without hiding it and without maneuvering or even explaining itself to anyone. Oman has these relations with opposing parties for reasons that might not please others but that are enough for it.
[Townhall] "Daddy, I don’t want a Volkswagen. I want a BMW. And I want it NOW!"
This attitude is grating enough among spoiled teenagers. Even worse, this sense of entitlement permeates the pedestrian invasion forces ‐ euphemized as "migrant caravans" ‐ now marching up from Central America, through Mexico.
Undetermined thousands of illegal aliens, largely from Honduras and El Salvador, have broken into Guatemala and then broken into Mexico. They intend to break into America. Last month, news cameras caught them swamping the gate that separates Guatemala’s Ciudad Tecun Uman and Mexico’s Ciudad Hidalgo. They banged on the barrier, and down it came. A wave of humanity rushed forth, like floodwaters pouring through a ruptured levee on the mighty Mississippi.
Hondurans are poor, and their nation is no hotbed of hope. Most of these people seek to brighten their life prospects. But the path to greener pastures must be legal. These people all should stand down, retreat, and apply for visas at the embassies of the countries to which they wish to emigrate. No land ‐ not least the USA ‐ is obligated to accept these people. They have no right to live anywhere else without their destination nation’s permission.
A complex set of international customs and legal precedents holds that those in distress should seek relief in the "first country of asylum" safe enough for them to take refuge. International law does not recognize a right for those fleeing chaos or squalor to shop from one nation to the next, as if they were homebuyers who skin up their noses at houses A and B and demand house C.

Seem to notice, that not one of those festering holes ever demonstrates on the behalf of direct intervention to remove the ruling caste who generally own and operate the place. And that the ruling caste usually follows the policy of "its better to rule in hell than serve in heaven". Something they share with 'Progressives'.
#2
I notice none of the panhandlers here in Daytona are looking to migrate towards greener pastures. Seems to indicate that for those who whish to "live off the fat of the land," the USA is the destination and improvement of personal circumstances (thru hard work, etc.) isn't in the plans.

[American Thinker] As Jews and people of conscience of all ethnicities reel from the horrors that took place at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, we once again approach another heinous epoch in Jewish history: the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht. With that in mind, it's important to remember that Kristallnacht and its aftermath the Holocaust did not occur in a vacuum.
With the exception of insular Holocaust-deniers, most people have heard and recognize the unspeakable horrors and inhumanity Jews suffered all over Europe during this horrific period in time. However, not so many are familiar with the vehement anti-Semitism that permeated Eastern Europe and Russia at the dawn of 20th century.
Beginning in the 1880s and ending for the most part around 1922, there were three distinct, increasingly violent cycles of debasement committed against the Jewish people. In what is collectively known as pogroms, perpetrators on both the right and left took turns raping, murdering, and looting the property of helpless Jewish victims, lacking only in scale and organization what was to come a decade later.
If nothing else, the pogroms portrayed Jews as defenseless and their blood and property as easy pickings for marauding bands of mercenaries, a fact not lost upon later generations of Ukrainians and Russians at the dawn of the 20th century as well as Hitler and his Nazi cohorts in the 1930s.

May... or may not. And Turkey can’t affird to carry the cost of leadership, such as it is, that the Saudis have been carrying. Granted, the Saudis soon won’t be able to afford it either, I suspect, nor Iran in the face of American intransigence, but those are different questions.
[NYT] Donald Trump’s conservative critics have one last hope: defeat. If Republicans suffer humiliating defeats in the midterm elections, they suggest, President Trump will get the blame. Influential donors and grass-roots Republicans will turn on him, and the party will get back to normal. Not so long ago this was the party of Paul Ryan and free trade. This was the party of George W. Bush and compassionate conservatism. This was a party whose self-performed autopsy after the 2012 election called for more minority outreach. After Mr. Trump, why can’t the Republicans be that party again?
The ranks of anti-Trump Republicans grow thinner by the day. They’re retiring from Congress. They’re writing memoirs blasting their former friends. But they hold out hope for the future. If the Republican Party could undergo such a profound change in personality and policy thanks to just one man in a mere three years, who’s to say it can’t change back? The Trump coalition seems so impermanent, after all, a motley mix of Southern evangelicals, businessmen who think like the Chamber of Commerce and disaffected white voters from the Rust Belt. Throw in foreign-policy hawks and anti-interventionist America Firsters, and Mr. Trump’s Republican Party looks like an impossible contradiction. It can’t last. Can it?
Yes, it can. In fact, the party that President Trump has remade in his image is arguably less divided and in a better position to keep winning the White House than it has been at any time since the 1980s. What Mr. Trump has done is to rediscover the formula that made the landslide Republican Electoral College victories of the Nixon and Reagan years possible. Mr. Trump’s signature themes of economic nationalism and immigration restriction are only 21st-century updates to the issues that brought the Republican Party triumph in all but one of the six presidential elections between 1968 and 1988.

[Politico] COLUMBUS, Ga.‐Ed Harbison remembers Jim Crow. The segregated schools, the no-go theaters, the colored-only water fountains. The white supremacist siege of the First Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, where Martin Luther King, Jr., was trapped inside, and Harbison was, too. The white folks telling his mother she couldn’t vote unless she could answer how many beans were in a jar, or how wet water was.
Harbison is now a Democratic state senator from Georgia, and the Deep South has changed radically in his 72 years on its soil. Sometimes, though, he reflects on how it hasn’t changed‐like when he reflects on the high-profile race for governor pitting Stacey Abrams, a progressive African-American Democrat who used to run a voting rights nonprofit, against Brian Kemp, the conservative white Republican secretary of state who is mired in multiple voting rights controversies. Harbison is rooting for Abrams to become the first black woman governor of any American state, and Kemp’s efforts to purge voter rolls and challenge voter registrations in ways that disproportionately affect minorities bring back painful memories of the bad old days. "It’s a different time, but it feels like the same game plan," Harbison told me after an Abrams rally at Columbus State University.
Georgia is at the epicenter of a national movement for stricter voting rules in Republican-controlled states, and its battles over the ballot have become a national story about race and power in the South. But while Harbison is concerned that Republicans may be disenfranchising some black voters, perhaps even enough to swing a too-close-to-call governor’s race to Kemp, he thinks far more black voters disenfranchise themselves, sitting out elections they suspect are pre-determined to ratify the white power structure’s status quo. He tells his constituents, especially young ones, about the blood that’s been spilled to secure their right to vote, but many of them don’t believe their vote will count.

[Daily Beest] Georgia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Oprah Winfrey ‐ who supports Abrams and knocked on voters' doors for her this week ‐ were targeted in a racist robocall evidently funded by a neo-Nazi group on Friday. The voice on the robocall introduces herself as the "magical negro" Oprah, and calls Abrams a "poor man’s Aunt Jemima," and a candidate "white women can be tricked into voting for, especially the fat ones." The call claims it is paid for by TheRoadToPower.com, which previously funded racist robocalls against Florida’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum.
[Daily Caller] Millions of Texans have cast early ballots ahead of the Tuesday’s election as Republican Sen. Ted Cruz fends off his Democratic opponent, Rep. Beto O’Rourke.
More than 4,514,930 Texans have cast in-person ballots during the entire early voting period in the 30 counties where most of the state’s registered voters live. To put it another way, roughly 40 percent of the 12 million registered voters in those counties have voted.
Early voting in those counties surpassed turnout from the 2012 presidential election. Data compiled by the Texas Tribune also shows turnout over 12 days of early voting in those 30 counties also surpassed the entire turnout of the 2014 midterm election.
Polling data in Texas has been all over the map, with Cruz leading anywhere from nine points, to O’Rourke of El Paso ahead by two points. Yet, O’Rourke likely faces a much tougher task, according to some experts. He will need to pick off almost 20 percent of Cruz’s GOP base to win the election, Texas Politics Project Director James Henson wrote in an analysis in October.
Nearly 4.9 million people voted in Texas’ 30 largest counties during the early-voting period, surpassing the total number of votes cast throughout the state in the last midterm election.
Texas secretary of state figures released Saturday found that more than 540,000 people in those 30 counties voted early on Friday, which was the last day of early voting in the state. Although Texas has 254 counties, the 30 largest are home to nearly 80 percent of the state’s residents.
The nearly 4.9 million early votes exceed the 4.7 million total votes cast in Texas in the 2014 midterm election
I can live with Beto flipping burgers for the next four years while he comes to better understand the needs and desires of Texan voters...
[Al Jazeera] On October 30, as I was scrolling through news updates from Paleostine, I received a phone call from a friend. "It's that time of the year," she said through thunderous laughter, "when our self-proclaimed leadership decides to play peek-a-boo and threaten to end security coordination with Israel."
The Paleostinian Central Council (PCC) had announced that it authorised the Paleostine Liberation Organization (PLO) to suspend recognition of Israel and stop security coordination with Tel Aviv. It argued that the suspensions should remain in place until Israel recognises the Paleostinian state based on pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
We both laughed, but more at the tragedy of the situation than anything else. The PCC made the same announcement in 2015. The repetition was indeed tragic, and telling of the nature of these efforts - that they are mere considerations, nothing more than laughable scarecrow tactics.

In Wars somebody wins and somebody loses. That WHY they call them Wars. If it get to War, those are the inevitable rules. Somebody wins and somebody loses. Th knives come out and thats the way it gets played. No right and wrong, just somebody goes in the ditch and somebody finishes him off. You stick him till he quits moving. Better the Palestinians than the Israelis . Somebody has to win. There is no "nice" way to kill somebody. Better him than you. Make sure he's dead.
The only solution is make sure you get the job done and walk away whole yourself. Make up your mind. There is only one way this all can end.

Washington accuses Hezbollah of being behind the bombing while the Lebanese organization has denied its role and has refused to take responsibility for the attack.

[Babylon Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C.‐The city of Washington has declared a state of emergency after the Almighty condemned the city, being unable to find ten righteous people anywhere near the nation's capital.
Senator Ben Sasse attempted to intercede for the city after the Lord revealed his plans to smite the home of the federal government, begging the Lord to spare the city if even fifty righteous could be found among the "wretched hive of scum and villainy."
"Lord, what if there are fifty righteous there? Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?" Sasse prayed, and God reportedly agreed to spare the city for even fifty. But after God was unable to find fifty, Sasse reduced the threshold to merely forty-five.
This continued until a desperate Sasse got all the way down to 10, and finally, the Nebraska senator relented from his pleading with the Lord, confident that the city would be spared.
But God could not find ten righteous people in the city, and the fire and brimstone started falling shortly after, with politicians and lobbyists fleeing the city in terror throughout the afternoon.
"I thought for sure that would work," Sasse said as he fled his office.
[Babylon Bee] After CNN anchor Don Lemon made controversial comments calling white men "the biggest terror threat in this country," the host somberly apologized on his program, stating he never intended to offend "all the evil white men who watch this program."
Backlash against Lemon's remarks was swift, and so he appeared the following evening to express his regret over his inflammatory rhetoric that "may have hurt all the evil white people in America."
"My remarks were insensitive to white men, the scourge of this nation, and for that I am extremely sorry," he said. "It was never my intention to cause offense to the disgusting, wretched, mouth-breathing people who make up the white American males in this country."
Lemon further acknowledged that he may have mischaracterized white people when he called them terrorists. "I said they were terrorists, and that's unacceptable. They're actually demon-possessed monsters bent on destroying all of humanity. I regret the error."
Shortly after his apology, Lemon kicked off another impassioned speech blaming white men for causing racial division in the country. "It's all the fault of the people with the wrong colored skin," he said.

What a hypocrite. This jerk has a gay white male lover. He ought to be fired for all the lies and B.S. he is allowed to spout on CNN. Most likely, he would sue CNN if fired for either sexual or race discrimination or both and have a big payday. Probably the only reason he doesn't get fired is CNN can't afford to.

Herb dear, while you are often a delight, you could have pointed out the error without the insult. It is the insult that caused the reaction, not the pointing out, which probably was received with silent relief by those of our readers who also weren’t familiar with the Babylon Bee approach — or, it being a short night after we lost an hour changing to standard time (except Hawaii and most of Arizona — you know who you are) they need more coffee or coffee-equivalents to reach their normal Sunday perceptiveness. ;-)

Well for myself it is obvious who the evil black people are. They oftentimes are the most racist people you could encounter. Even the degree of blackness is a factor to them. They discriminate against those who are the blackest in color. My personal view having worked with many different peoples in DC.
'We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.’
This statement may have appeared in the Babylon Bee. However, I watched Don Lemon state this on CNN while talking to Chris Cuomo. Don't be an apologist for Don Lemon and his racism. Racism is never cool. A parody is a ludricous immitation with comedy assumed of a thing, situation or a person. The only parody is Don Lemon himself. He is a ludicrous immitation of a newsperson or commentator.
