“Can My Children Be Friends With White People?”
That was the title of a weekend op-ed at The New York Times. The
author, Ekow N. Yankah, is a professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School
of Law at Yeshiva University. And he answers the provocative title
question in exactly the way you’d expect:
With a “no.” He writes, “I
will teach my boys to have profound doubts that friendship with white
people is possible. … For many weary minorities, the ridiculous thing
was thinking friendship was possible in the first place.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) on Wednesday responded to Democrats who
are criticizing the Senate Republican tax reform bill for repealing
Obamacare's individual mandate, reminding them how the Obama
administration argued before the Supreme Court that the requirement is a
tax.
Speaking on the Senate floor, Cotton addressed Senate Minority Leader
Chuck Schumer's (D., N.Y.) comments earlier in the day that Republicans
are "injecting health care into the tax bill" by including a repeal of
the individual mandate, which forces most Americans who do not have
health care to pay a fine.
"I would remind him, and all of the other Democrats who have been
denouncing this decision on the Senate Finance Committee, that the
individual mandate is a tax, according, not to me, not to Republicans,
but to the Obama administration," Cotton said. "That is what they argued
in 2012 to the Supreme Court even though, he contended, throughout the
debate on Obamacare in 2009 and 2010 that it wasn't a tax."
What are lies of omission? A lie of omission took place during the
Uranium One deal forged with the Russian nuclear energy agency Rosatom,
to access 20% of America's uranium production. It was the responsibility
of the FBI to investigate the Canadian company and ensure that if there
was any misconduct committed by Uranium One that it would be revealed
before the committee signed off on the deal. The lie was that Uranium
One did nothing illegal or unethical in securing the uranium deal, a lie
omitted by the FBI, because a number of the people and agencies that
would decide to let the deal go through had been bought off or pressured
in advance. Hillary Clinton said that her participation was of little
consequence, because many other agencies were involved and it was
basically a rubber stamp to what had already been decided. That lie of
omission had to deal with the fact that everyone necessary to approve
the deal had already been bought off or otherwise pressured to let the
deal go through including Hillary Clinton.
The public and congress was left with the impression that everything was
fair and square and that nothing illegal or unethical had taken place
prior to approval of the deal. That was not true and the FBI knew it was
not true.
Stefan Molyneux analyzes the scandal around Judge Roy Moore, the
Republican candidate in the senate race in Alabama who is accused of
initiating sexual contact with young women 40 years ago.
Judge
Roy Moore is a West Point graduate, Vietnam vet, and Constitutional
scholar who is the Republican candidate in the Senate race in Alabama.
The Washington Post published allegations by four women who have accused
Moore of initiating sexual contact with them in the late 1970s and
early 1980s when he was a district attorney in his early 30’s, and they
were teenagers. Leigh Corfman claims she had sexual contact with Moore
when she was 14; the others were above the age of consent. The timing
is highly suspect because the accusers waited almost 40 years to come
forward, and did so one month before an important election. The
Washington Post has endorsed Moore’s opponent, and some GOP senators
have called for Moore to step down. Corfman has had problems with drugs
and alcohol, she tried to commit suicide when she was 16 years old, she
had three marriages and financial issues.
In comparison, Senator Bob
Menendez (D-NJ) is currently on trial for corruption and has been
accused of hiring child prostitutes. His trial has been going on for
two months, but it has not been mentioned even once by ABC, NBC and CBS
evening news shows. This is the first time a sitting US senator has
faced a corruption trial since 1981. None of Menendez’ fellow Democrats
have called for him to step down.
It is important to note that
the Washington Post sought out the accusers while they endorsed Moore’s
opponent, a Democrat. The Washington Post is no longer publishing
journalism, but by attempting to find dirt on candidates, the paper is
engaging in political activism. The Washington Post is owned by
globalist Jeff Bezos and is a rag.
Timing is everything and at this time, I would whole heartily vote for Moore.
Zimbabwe’s military was in control of the capital and the state
broadcaster on Wednesday and was holding President Robert Mugabe and his
wife under house arrest in what appeared to be a coup against the
93-year-old Mugabe, the world’s oldest head of state.
The military was at pains, however, to emphasize it had not staged a
military takeover, but was instead starting a process to restore
Zimbabwe’s democracy.
Still, the military appeared to have brought an end to Mugabe’s long,
37-year reign in what the army’s supporters praised as a “bloodless
correction.” South Africa and other neighboring countries were sending
in leaders to negotiate with Mugabe and the generals to encourage the
transition.
Citizens in Zimbabwe’s tidy capital, Harare, contributed to the
feeling of a smooth transition by carrying on with their daily lives,
walking past the army’s armored personnel carriers to go to work and to
shops. Many who have never known any leader but Mugabe waited in long
lines at banks to draw limited amounts of cash, a result of this
once-prosperous country’s plummeting economy.
Felix Tsanganyiso, who sells mobile airtime vouchers in Harare, said he was following the developments on WhatsApp.
Footage from 2015 shows former Alabama Senator Jeff
Sessions appearing to swat Joe Biden’s hand as the ex-vice president
reached for his granddaughter.
The incident occurred at a Senate ceremonial swearing-in in January 2015,
where the then-vice president – who has become known for his
inappropriate touching of female youngsters – visibly groped numerous
children as he posed for photos with various lawmakers.
Associates of Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya arranged a June 9,
2016, meeting with President Trump’s son, Donald Jr., luring him to
attend by promising “dirt” on Hillary Clinton.
But there was no dirt whatsoever produced at the meeting. Instead,
the Russians’ chief concern appeared to be seeking support for canceling
American sanctions against certain Russians, a major obsession of the
Kremlin.
There were some curious circumstances surrounding the appointment.
Right before the meeting with Trump Jr., Veselnitskaya huddled with
Glenn Simpson, the head of Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm
hired by the Clinton campaign. After the meeting, they apparently met
once again, perhaps to debrief Simpson.
Fusion had also been working on Veselnitskaya’s Kremlin-supported
team to repeal the Magnitsky Act, which originally imposed the
sanctions.
The attempt at resupply was an act of war, hence the firing on the fort.
You would think that David Duke had somehow
been elected president. Or, maybe in this topsy-turvy,
Alice-in-Wonderland period of history we are living through, that that
reactionary “bad guy” Vladimir Putin had somehow actually taken over the
White House. The editorial din, the screams of outrage seemed to drown
out all other news. Surely, the very fate of the republic was at stake.
What had happened? President Trump’s White House Chief of Staff, General
John Kelly, had actually dared—and in public!—to defend the historical
reputation and honor of Robert E. Lee. In our era of totalitarian
political correctness, which parades in drag as an epoch of sublime
“tolerance” and “free expression,” such views are the height of
historical and cultural heresy—and not to mention what the Mainstream
Media tells us—of political suicide. Such “heretical” views must not
only be shouted down by what is termed “professional historians” (who
act more like the Soviet politburo), but also banished from public
discourse completely.
About six or seven months ago, Sen. Luther Strange's campaign heard
that Roy Moore "liked to chase women around the courthouse," according
to two Alabama Republican sources.
At the time, Moore faced a three-way Republican primary against
Strange and Rep. Mo Brooks. In a tight race, it was clear the rumor
could prove politically lethal.
"We did a lot of
research. We tried and tried and tried," one source said. "I think if we
were able to find the names out, we probably would have passed it along
to a reporter to track down ... We just weren't able."
As most honest people realize by now, liberals, socialists, and
communists are all cultural Marxists, which means, for them, that it is
perfectly permissible to do unto others what they condemn others
(usually unrighteously) for doing unto them. In fact, for them, it’s
mandatory. For them, their day is not complete unless they are actively
assailing someone on the political or religious Right, while blaming
those folks for even daring to defend themselves. “Condemn others and
elevate yourself” is their watchword.
I read an interesting article on The Hill by Jacqueline Thomsen for November 12th, 2017, the headline for which was Poll: Nearly half of white Southerners feel like they’re under attack. All I can say to that is–it’s about time! White Southerners are under
attack–and have been now for decades. Their culture, their history,
their faith, even their Southern accents, are and have been under
assault for longer than I care to think about. Most of them have been
totally oblivious to it. It would really be nice if some of them, lots
more of them, were starting to wake up and smell the coffee. It would be
really nice to think they are finally starting to get the picture and
beginning to push back!
About five years ago, lawmakers in New Hampshire approved a series of
changes to improve their citizens’ access to homeschooling, but they
now appear to be preparing to roll back those improvements.
And it’s generated considerable controversy, since one legislator opposing homeschooling called it “child abuse.”
Which wasn’t received well by another lawmaker whose children mostly
have graduated from the family’s homeschool, and have gone to top-tier
colleges.
Dozens of pro-Palestinian students crashed David Horowitz’ recent
speech at the University of Houston. The effort was led by Students for
Justice in Palestine, who staged a walkout.
Horowitz, the founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, was
sponsored by the Young Americans for Freedom at UH for a talk called
“The Terror Network on American Campuses.”
Student activists
hoisted Palestinian flags, marched around the room, and shouted over
Horowitz’s remarks saying, “David, we reject your bigotry and we reject
your presence on our campus,” “Zionists off our campus,” “Racists off
our campus” and “Islamophobes off our campus.”
Then, they erupted into chants of “Free, free, free Palestine.”
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was testifying before the House
Judiciary Committee on his meetings with Russian officials and the
Uranium One deal on Tuesday when Rep. Trey Gowdy hijacked the hearing to deliver an impassioned speech on the meaning of “justice.”
The Department of Justice, Gowdy pointed out, is an independent
organization and should be treated as such. But unfortunately, he said,
both the Obama Administration and the Trump Administration have used the
DOJ as a political tool.
“Mr. Conyers asked you whether or not it was appropriate for the
president to weigh in in on an ongoing investigation,” Gowdy said. “And
of course, the answer to that is ‘no.’ It is not appropriate.
It’s not
appropriate in 2017. It wasn’t appropriate when President Obama did it
in the IRS targeting scandal. It wasn’t appropriate when President Obama
did it in the ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton’s server. It
is never appropriate for a president to tell a Department of Justice
what outcome it would reach. I just wish my friends on the other side of
the aisle would have the same kind of outrage when President Obama did
it as they do now.”
Republicans in Washington may be abandoning Roy Moore by the droves.
But in Alabama, the GOP has Moore's back and is threatening retribution
against defectors.
The chairwoman of Alabama Republican Party
warned she's ready to enforce strict rules on party purity in the
state's Senate race, even if it means kicking GOP candidates off the
ballot in future elections.
"It would be a serious error for any
current elected GOP official or candidate to publicly endorse another
party's candidate, an independent, a third party or a write in candidate
in a general election as well," Alabama GOP Chairwoman Terry Lathan told the Alabama Political Reporter. "I have heard of no GOP elected official or candidate that is even considering this option."
I guess there were no goats or sheep available........
Two persons — Nasrullah and Tufail – witnessed this act,” an FIR quoted the complainant as saying.
Mansab Ali, a resident of Jalapur
Bhatian police station Hafizabad, some 200km from Lahore, told police
that his neighbour Ansar Hussain “abducted” his hen on November 11 and
“raped” it.
