[Ernie C. Salgado Jr. at The Indian Reporter] Hello. Don't recognize me? That's okay. I understand.
My name was Antonio West. I was the 13-month-old baby who was shot in the face at point blank range by two black teens who were attempting to rob my mother. They also shot her.
I think my murder and my mommy's wounding made the news for maybe a day, and then disappeared.
A grand jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick, Georgia ruled the teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty... too bad it was me who got the death sentence from my killers instead, because Mommy didn't have the money they demanded at gunpoint.
"He said, 'I'm gonna kill you if you don't give me your money,' and I said, 'I swear, I don't have any,'" West said. "I put my arms over my baby and he shoves me and he shot my baby right in the head."
You see, my family made the mistake of being white in a 73-percent, non-white neighborhood, but my murder wasn't ruled a hate crime.
Oh, and President Obama didn't take a single moment to publicly acknowledge my murder. After all, he couldn't have any children who could possibly look like me - so why should he care?

We'd need to surgically remove our humanity to be like these "people".
If you want to survive, you better harden your heart. I don't advocate killing their children (below the teens) I do advocate killing the animals though.
White people better wake the F up, things are only get worse and weakness encourages attack.
I don't think it is satire this time. Everyone knows Joe Headroom is damaged, except Joe. If she isn't, she's getting phone calls from people like when someone wins the lottery.
[Washington Examiner] Government regulation of the chemical abortion pill has changed dramatically in recent weeks.
Last month, a federal judge ruled that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, an abortion provider should not have to require that a pregnant woman be seen in person by medical staff in order to obtain abortion drugs. Even though it was the abortion industry challenging this existing regulation, not patients, the ruling by Maryland U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang stated that the "in-person requirements" posed a "substantial obstacle" to women seeking abortions. As a result, the ruling allows abortion businesses to sell abortion pills directly to pregnant women without any in-person evaluation.
Expanded access to chemical abortion pills was an important goal for the abortion industry even before the pandemic. In 2017, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit to make abortion pills available without a visit to the doctor. In 2008, telemed abortions became available in Iowa. During a telemed abortion, women obtain abortion pills after interacting with a physician remotely. As of 2019, Planned Parenthood was offering telemed abortions in 10 states.
Indeed, during the past 20 years, the abortion pill has become more common in the United States. Even though the overall U.S. abortion rate has been declining, the number of chemical abortions is increasing. According to the most recent data from the Guttmacher Institute, the annual number of chemical abortions in the U.S. increased by over 400% between 2001 and 2017. Furthermore, the share of abortions committed with the abortion pill regimen increased from 5% to 39% between 2001 and 2018.

#5 and #7, right. OTC all antibiotics and in a few years all the bugs will be resistant to all antibiotics. Tough to cure your syphilis when the penicillin doesn't work anymore. But it won't just be syphilis. Wait'll you get pneumonia or strep throat or ulcers. Good luck. Yeah, and just let all the kids have all the fentanyl they want. They'll be dropping like flies on the playground but what do you care?

Yeah, dropping like flies. Riiiiiiight. Nice try with the pompous self-righteousness. Not.
[NYPOST] Protests over the past few months in cities like Portland, Seattle and even New York have led to violence all too often. Louisville, Ky., has had enough.
On Sunday, its police department banned street marches and caravans that block city streets, restricting protesters to sidewalks.
It’s more than reasonable; it’s wise. Clashes with police have led to injuries and arrests, and though the right to assemble is guaranteed by the First Amendment, public safety matters, too.
After 75 days of protests, no one can say Louisville doesn’t allow dissent.
Meanwhile, ...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck and Manuel's rivalry was entering a new and more dangerous phase... radicals, cop-bashers and downright criminals have hijacked Black Lives Matter protests, there and elsewhere. The movement — which has its own radical roots and openly says its goal is to "disrupt" Louisville — is susceptible to that, especially from groups like antifa.
That’s likely what Attorney General William Barr had in mind Sunday when he castigated BLM as an anti-government "revolutionary group" interested in "some form of socialism, communism."
Barr warned that antifa members were waging "a new form of urban guerrilla warfare," looking to "insinuate themselves" into lawful, peaceful protests and "shield themselves" as they attack police.

Follow up to yesterday’s announcement. It should be noted that former president Barack Obama was Kenyan-American rather than African-American, so the Democratic Party proves consistent in preventing the advancement of any native African-Americans to the highest levels.
[The National Pulse] While the media will continue to portray Harris as African-American, it’s important to note her mother was from India, and her father from Jamaica.
That’s not typically what people think of when they say "African-American". I’m Indian, for example, and I don’t go around pretending to be black.
Political activist Ali Alexander — of half African extraction himself — noted the matter over a year ago, tweeting: "Kamala Harris is *not* an American Black. She is half Indian and half Jamaican. I’m so sick of people robbing American Blacks (like myself) of our history. It’s disgusting." He was met with derision from white liberal reporters in the establishment media, who demanded there was no difference.
The fact the Democrats would select an Indian-Jamaican candidate and bill them as African-American in year marred by Black Lives Matter riots would usually be unthinkable.
There’s also her adoring Jewish husband and her open support for Israel —AIPAC, not J Street — all of which should rankle in various quarters, though her left-wing Indianness should continue to delight the generous folks in the Olde Countrie...
Then you remember they continuously call men who identify as women, "women," and allow them to compete in women’s sports.
Of course this short post is going to send the media into a tailspin as they attempt to defend Harris and steer Biden toward the White House. They’ll call this important distinction a "racial attack," on Harris, as they have on the past. Even though the writer of this article shares an ethnic background with Harris: Indian.
But don’t take my word for it. Kamala Harris’s own father has lashed out about her race-grifting, telling a Canadian magazine in 2019:
My dear departed grandmothers, as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.
And I suspect there will be a large number of African-Americans across the United States who aren’t happy with their ethnicity or race being co-opted to suit a political candidate who shares little with them.

There is no multiracial or mixed-race category in American law in any jurisdiction. Nor is there an Indian category. So Harris cannot be legally Indian, nor can she be legally "both."
#8
Angela Davis ran for VP w/ the Communist Party USA. The Communists now support the Democratic Party since there isn't a spit's worth of difference between them.
#12
Barack Obama was half white and his black half was African-African, not African-American.
And it didn't matter.
Harris' actual background won't, either.
Oh sure, there will be some who are turned off or unexcited, but it's naive to think that the average minority voter won't go into "One...of...us" zombie mode for a Vibrant! candidate.
You know how most lefties live in a low-info bubble?
I think a problem with the Right is that many of us live in a (relatively) high-info bubble, where we are fairly well-informed about what's going on, and then make the mistake of assuming everyone else knows too.
That's dangerous.
It may not be a nice thing to say, but we should assume that the average American voter (and let's be honest here--especially women and minorities) can still be swayed by the Narrative and plan accordingly.
I know, I know:
"ZOMG, charger, you can't SAY that!!!"
"As trooly Troo Conservatives, it is our duty to ignore the historical record and pretend everyone just wants a Madisonian paradise, like us classical liberals do!"
Sorry, but I can't ignore the reality of 2020 America.

But not the first female - Geraldine Anne "Gerry" Ferraro was the first female vice-presidential nominee - in 1984 was the Democratic Party's nominee for Vice-President. Then there was Sarah Palin, from a minor party.

Will hubby go into hiding? Wouldn't want to spoil the narrative.
I agree, charger, The lady has all the earmarks of her upper middle class, child-of-academia upbringing (dad an economics professor at Stanford, mom a PhD researcher who took the kids with her to Canada when she divorced Kamala’s dad), but has always marketed herself as an African-American woman of colour.

#22 - a little Wiki research says he was - ...prominent slave plantation owner Hamilton Brown. According to Harris [the father], Brown is his maternal great-great grandfather.
[Mises] It is now well known that the City of Chicago and Illinois overall have adopted stringent gun control laws over the years. Thus, the pro–gun control Giffords Center gives the state of Illinois a lofty "A-" on its "annual gun scorecard."
Yet, somehow, shootings are surging in the city this year. Although crime in Chicago‐like in the nation overall‐is lower today than it was during the 1980s and 1990s, murders have been a perennial problem in Chicago for years. As the Chicago Sun-Times reported last week:
The 105 murders reported in July are a nearly 139% increase from the 44 reported in July 2019, according to police data released Saturday. The 406 shooting incidents last month were a 75% increase from the 232 reported in the same month-to-month comparison….Murders are up 51% from the same point last year, along with a 47% increase in shootings, police said.
So, how to explain the increase in homicides, especially in light of Chicago's stringent gun control? After all, the logic behind the arguments made by most gun control advocates is that areas with numerous government prohibitions on gun ownership will have less crime.
Well, the mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, has a ready explanation: she claims people are bringing in guns from other parts of the country where it's much easier to buy guns. These guns are then supposedly taken to Chicago, where they are sold on the black market and used in shootings. Lightfoot claims: "We are being inundated with guns from states that have virtually no gun control, no background checks, no ban on assault weapons….That is hurting cities like Chicago,"
Lightfoot then takes her claims to the logical next step. As she states in a July 20 letter to Donald Trump, since Illinois and Chicago can't directly impose more gun control on neighboring states, she wants the national government to intervene and impose nationwide controls instead.
This is a common tactic among those who aren't content with destroying basic freedoms in their own jurisdictions. When neighboring jurisdictions allow "too much" freedom, prohibitionists demand that the federal government step in to impose uniform prohibitions on everyone. The idea here is that "open borders" between states allow persons and weapons (and drugs and other goods) to freely cross from one state to another. This freedom of movement, it is claimed, means that gun control can only work if there is a single nationwide policy.
WHY NEIGHBORING STATES AREN'T THE PROBLEM
But before we look at Lightfoot's latest call for national mandates, let's first back up a step and ask ourselves whether it's even plausible that Illinois's neighbors are the reason that homicides remain so high in Chicago.
On the surface, we can see how Lightfoot might be able to get away with making such a claim. As the Gifford Center's ranking system shows, Illinois is surrounded by states where it is far easier to buy a gun than in Illinois. Wisconsin, for example, receives a "C-" in the Giffords gun control rankings. Indiana does even "worse," with a ranking of "D-."
Some might see this and conclude that maybe Lightfoot is right, and that maybe Chicago is a "victim" of its neighbors such as Wisconsin.
But when we look more closely, we quickly find that the problem with Chicago clearly isn't guns.
According to crime data from the FBI, Chicago in 2018 had a homicide rate of 20.7 homicides per 100,000 population. The state of Illinois overall has a homicide rate of 6.9 per 100,000. As you might guess, a sizable portion of the homicides that occur in Illinois happen within the city limits of Chicago. In fact, if we remove the city from Illinois, "Illinois without Chicago" has a homicide rate of only 3.2 per 100,000....
Sounds about right. She got all puffed up "We're coming for you!" and raised her back yesterday, but everyone knows it won't last
[Babylon Bee] Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot protected the citizens of Chicago yesterday by arresting a 7-year-old having a birthday party.
The mayor reportedly jumped in her car and drove over toward the boy's house, waving at looters, rioters, and murderers as she passed. Bricks, Molotov cocktails, and hand grenades flew over her car as she hurtled down the streets of Chicago, careening down alleyways and ripping through parking lots to get to the illegal party.
"Drop the cake and put your hands behind your head," Lightfoot said. "Nice and easy -- you're coming with me."
"The streets are now safe," Lightfoot said as she led the boy to a Chicago PD squad car. "The citizens of Chicago can rest easy knowing that unlawful gatherings like this party are being broken up."
"We feel much safer now that this maniac is behind bars," said one Chicagoan as he hid in his house from looters. "I was really worried when I heard that a few people were gathering for a party. Now I know we're safe."
"We were concerned she was coming to take us down," said one looter as he threw a brick into the window of a Target. "But she just passed us right on by. She definitely has her priorities in the right place."
On her way back from arresting the youngster, Lightfoot pulled over to lecture a rioter who wasn't wearing a mask. Once he had put his mask back on, she told him to go about his business.

Do you guys remember the part of the first Star Trek reboot when Nero created the singularity on Vulcan and then the planet started to get sucked inwards? That's what this broad's eyes look like to me.
[EN.ANNAHAR] 220 victims and counting, thousands injured, and billions in estimated damages in just a matter of seconds. The official version: Around 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate that have been sitting for seven years at Beirut port fuelled a massive explosion that sent shockwaves through the capital and displaced thousands of families.
One week into this man-made humanitarian disaster, the Hezbollah-backed government of Hassan Diab resigned as thousands erupted into the streets to protest the catastrophe that capped decades of corruption and mismanagement, and provided, once again, evidence of Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... ’s hijacked illusory sovereignty.

It would appear that a lot of things went on sequentially. The fire along with what looks like ammo cooking off folowed by several, discreet detonations of what appear to be different substances.
It is difficult to imagine that in a middle eastern port that 2,700 tons of anything permanently impounded wasn't being stolen systematically and resold. Further this is a port that Hezbollah proudly claims to control.
I sort of have to agree with the Russian, if all 2,700 tons had gone up there wouldn't be any Beirut left and the Seismic signature would have been higher as well.

One of the points about ammonite, whether plain or mixed as ANFO, is that it's a low explosive that's not particularly easy to set off, which is why it's so popular in mining, etc. Usually take a boosted detonator (two stage) made of much more sensitive materials. You don't just light it up and expect it to go boom.
So something else started the chain.
