[Jpost] As long as the collision between China’s agenda in Xinjiang and Pan-Turkic solidarity forms an inherent limit to Sino-Ottoman Turkish cooperation, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... will shy away from China's Belt-and-Road initiative.
Turkey’s recent stern rebuke of China’s treatment of its Turkic Moslem, Uyghur minority constitutes a stunning policy reversal by Ankara after more than three years of accommodating Beijing’s policies in Xinjiang province. The AKP government’s belated condemnation of China’s internment camps in Xinjiang was prompted by an erroneous claim of the death in detention of a revered performer of Uyghur traditional music. The timing was also motivated by the mounting pressure ahead of Turkey’s March 31 elections from growing Ottoman Turkish nationalist outrage over the Uyghurs’ plight. Ankara’s reversion to the nationalist line on Xinjiang reveals the inherent limit of Sino-Ottoman Turkish cooperation, as Ottoman Turkish nationalism’s core element of Pan-Turkic solidarity poses an enduring threat to Beijing’s vital interests in Xinjiang and its strategic ambitions across Turkic Central Asia.

Halfway through President Trump's first term in office, the jury is still out on his effectiveness in his quest to "make America great again."
Trump has had some apparent successes: the confirmation of Supreme Court justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, the opening of relations and denuclearization talks with North Korea, a national tax cut, and a simplified set of tax deductions.
...Until now, the fact that Trump is "not Hillary" has been enough. But it will not be enough forever. If the election of 2016 was the "Flight 93 Election" (as Michael Anton wrote in the Claremont Review of Books under the pseudonym Publius Decius Mus), a vote for Trump was a no-brainer. Had Hillary stormed the cockpit and seized the controls, America as we understood it would have been finished. At this point in his presidency, it might be said that Trump wrestled control of the left seat and has succeeded in keeping the plane stable and level, but it is not clear that he knows how to land it (a possibility Anton admitted in his essay) ‐ and the terrorists are still beating on the cockpit door, trying to break it down. He didn't implement, and doesn't appear to be trying, to make any changes in undermining totalitarians power base - their control of education system and public service

Those things are up to us. They are not in his power, nor should they be. He has unmasked the socialist cancer that infects those institutions (see Gramsci) and that is the best we can hope for. It is up to the people to clean up their own messes, not some benevolent dictator.

...when the treasuries don't sell and we refuse to just print money, a lot of 'occupied' institutions are going to feel that loud sucking sound when money doesn't show up.
[WND] Every time a manifestly racist, anti-white event goes down, which is frequently, conservative media call it "identity politics." "The left is playing identity politics."
Whatever is convulsing the country, it’s not identity politics. For, blacks are not being pitted against Hispanics. Hispanics are not being sicced on Asians, and Ameri-Indians aren’t being urged to attack the groups just mentioned. Rather, they’re all piling on honky. Hence, anti-white politics or animus.
The ire of the multicultural multitudes is directed exclusively at whites and their putative privilege. Anti-whitism is becoming endemic and systemic.
Take "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett. Smollett deceived the country and the Chicago Police Department about having fallen prey to a hate crime, which, it transpired, he had crudely orchestrated.
The Chicago Police Department superintendent expressed the requisite righteous indignation that a black man (Smollett) would desecrate symbols of black oppression in the process of framing innocent Others. (A noose had been purchased at Smollett’s behest.)
Nobody, Superintendent Eddie Johnson included, said sorry to the accused group, whose reputation had been sullied: "Trump supporters or white persons."

There are many conservative dark complected people. Many very much at odds with media politics of the day. The extremely racist are mostly those of dark complexions. Now what I have seen is the degree of darkness is a dividing point. The very dark are discriminated by many of lighter dark color. The hate is ongoing. Never satisfied. Let the dog chase his tail. This path they choose goes nowhere. There are many more people that I can work with than the few disruptive. They are blind to reason. They are blind to the truth. They have eyes but cannot see. They have ears but they cannot hear. They have a brain but cannot comprehend what they have seen or heard.

Republicans should always remember to be the true "Green" Party -- the party of Property Holder's Rights. Your ethnicity doesn't shouldn't matter and we stand united to keep people from stealing your stuff.
Undercharging for property title, then no. That's neo-feudalism, not capitalism. Combining it with a "progressive" tax system to direct even more subsidy into land prices is even worse.
In an excellent article by Jeff Lukens here on American Thinker, he asks the question, "Is a second civil war coming?" In reply, I say that America’s second civil war has already begun. Its opening shots were fired by Barack Obama when he stated, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."
Most of this country is center-right and never considered America a place that needed transformation. Most people can think of things they would change but few believe the nation needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Obama failed but the left soldiers on in its quest for a new America remade in their own image.
When Obama went on his world apology tour, he wasn’t apologizing for America, he was apologizing for Americans. This is the essence of this second civil war. Leftists are demi-gods who believe they are America and that anyone who does not believe in them cannot lay legitimate claim to this country as their own.
Yes, this war has begun. The opening skirmish was the Obama presidency itself, which history will see as a failure, despite what the media want us to believe in the here and now. Sure, he passed ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank, overregulated, and ruled by executive diktat to great media acclaim. Yet, ObamaCare and Dodd-Frank have been whittled away by legislation and judicial rulings, while Trump has prioritized deregulation and reversed many of Obama’s illegal executive orders.
The war’s second battle was the 2016 presidential election when Hillary Clinton, Obama’s chosen successor, lost to a television personality whom very few took seriously as a candidate. Trump won despite the Obama administration conspiring with the Clinton campaign to steal the election and has remained as president even as that conspiracy fundamentally transformed into a failed coup attempt to depose him.
Trump’s presidency has been the third battle and with his string of successes, the battle is being won. This, despite near-universal acrimony and condemnation among the media, the Democrats, and the left.
But, "what difference, at this point, does it make?" because these victories are pyrrhic. As the eminent Michael Walsh said of the left, "they never stop, they never sleep, they never quit." Democrats are chipping away at this nation with their policies. This is a war of attrition and we Americans are being attrited.
For example, their "open borders" policy is effectively importing a new electorate -- one guaranteed to vote for them. The left agrees with Obama, there is nothing wrong with America, it’s those damn Americans, so they are going to drown the conservative vote with new Democrats. It’s the same with their policy of "everything should be free." Why vote for someone who promises equal opportunity when someone else promises a better outcome?
Nuclear winter became global warming became climate change became "we want total control over everything." The reason why Democrat candidates for the presidency so quickly signed on to my congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal is its promise of comprehensive control over every aspect of our lives. Eliminating planes, trains, and automobiles will keep us close to our homes and jobs or for those "unwilling to work" in their basement enjoying their "universal basic income." Dependent people without mobility are easier to control.
The 2020 election looms as the next battle and it will be hard fought because Democrats have myriad policies that may sound great but are really about control. They have always been masters of micturating down our leg and telling us it is raining.
Yet, they don’t need to trick us into acquiescence, because even should Trump win, without a complete reversal by the Democratic Party, a renewed free and fair media, and a return to the principles upon which this nation was founded, this war will continue, and it is only a matter of time before the left again wins the Presidency, or the House, or the Senate -- or all three.

Not mentioned above, but spoken of by Michelle Malkin at CPAC, the civil war started when leftists assault people wearing MAGA hats, harrase people in restaurants, when the SPLC labels conservative groups terrorist organisations, and from my perspective when opposing campaign managers are placed in solitary confinement, when Trump's lawyer is rabidly turned against him or his wife will be convicted and sent to prison for 30 years, when a general is turned against him or the generals son will be sent to prison. And now they are threatening to prosecute Trumps children.
Question. When will "America" get the courage to fight back?????
[Powerline] Ammo Grrrll provides instructions along with her DIY HATE CRIME KIT:
It has come to my attention that my book sales ‐ robust though they be ‐ will simply not guarantee a comfortable retirement and I need to expand my product line.
What could be more timely or fill a better market niche in the current Hair Permanently On Fire Oppression Olympics than a Jussie Smollett Commemorative All-Purpose Do It Yourself Hate Crime Kit?
For the bargain-basement price of just $3500, you get:
Two sturdy Nigerians capable of delivering a carefully-calibrated beating
A rubber banana peel
One water-proof fake poop swastika with suction cup suitable for a dorm shower
Several lengths of rope, already fastened in nooses (for Scouts who were not in Scouting back when you could earn a badge in knot-tying instead of Cooking with Tofu.)
A gallon of bleach which can also be used for laundry ‐ WHITES ONLY (can I say that?)
A dozen MAGA caps
One terrifying mask of a Catholic teenage white boy smiling
Fake dog poop in a tube of soothing crème suitable for self-smearing
One set of Sharpies in several colors and list of various offensive words ‐ hurry!
Unacceptable Words can change daily. Remember "macaca"!?
It actually influenced an election!
One traceable swastika stencil so you don’t make it backwards like so many bigots with Carter era speed-limit IQs.
A handy Velcro tear-away detachable hijab for easy removal
And a frozen Whole Foods cake with "Fag" pre-written on it so YOU, the gay Hate Crime Faker, don’t have to waste valuable time or frosting writing that on your own.
But wait, there’s more! Because how can you fake a Hate Crime if you aren’t even a member of a protected group that it’s forbidden to hate? So act before midnight also to get:
The rest of the list and discussion can be read at the link.
And despite every advantage, look what happened to Jussie. (Well, nothing so far...but you never know.) His story stunk to high heavens from day one. But he and his platoon of lawyers are stickin’ to that story like Titanic survivors to a piece of driftwood. Maybe he’s going for an Insanity Plea. So how can YOU improve?
Remember to go where there are no cameras, no busybodies videotaping everything on their cellphones, no eyewitnesses. Try not to stage it in a part of town that elderly Tea Party/MAGA people would never be visiting in broad daylight, let alone at night. Do NOT pretend they said "This is MAGA country" in either Portland, Berkeley, the South Side of Chicago, or the Upper West Side of New York. Now it’s true that "Can you please direct me to the Holland Tunnel?" does not sound as threatening as "This is MAGA Country," but trust me, no Trump supporter ever said that to a random gay black person. Or any black person. Or anyone else. Ever.
Arrange to have yourself more severely injured than a little teeny cut below the eye on your pretty face. In fact, I recommend you sustain a small-caliber gunshot wound where it will not hit a vital organ, such as to the head. That lends some verisimilitude to the hate crime charge, believe me. There will be flowers and candles on the spot of the assault and Elton John will write a song for you. Go big or go home.

Anything deemed by someone else seems to rise to the level of a hate crime or hate speech. What happened to our 1st Amendment?
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.
In an excellent article by Jeff Lukens here on American Thinker, he asks the question, "Is a second civil war coming?" In reply, I say that America’s second civil war has already begun.
