Good Old Joe Is a Peking Duck
by Jed Babbin{spectator.org} ~ Former vice president loose lips-Joe Biden’s declaration for the Democratic presidential nomination seems to have back-footed his twenty-some opponents... It’s so bad that commie-Bernie Sanders has endorsed President Trump’s negotiations with Kim Jong-Un. How long that will last is problematic. loose lips-Joe — at seventy-six years of age — is not too old to be president and is supposed to be more electable than most of the others. But let’s not forget that Ol’ loose lips-Joe is a gaffe-o-matic machine. He’s tossed out so many verbal boners over the years who can forget his telling a wheelchair-bound man to stand up? that he’s bound to fumble and stumble repeatedly. His opponents — and the media — aren’t going to let him get away with that stuff anymore. loose lips-Biden’s supposed expertise was on display at a campaign stop last week when he proclaimed that China wasn’t bad and that they’re no competition for us. loose lips-Biden said, “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man.” He said that China had its hands full with domestic and regional problems from the “China Sea” he apparently meant the South China Sea to “… the mountains in the West.” It’s not at all clear whether he meant the mountainous region in western China where the Uighur Muslims live, or the Urals or the Alps. loose lips-Biden continued, saying, “They can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They’re not competition for us.” loose lips-Biden is wrong, profoundly so, on both economic and strategic grounds. The problem with Ol’ loose lips-Joe is that he’s the personification of what Ronald Reagan said about liberals: “It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.” Having spent thirty-six years in the Senate, he was brought on scumbag/liar-nObama’s presidential ticket as a foreign policy expert. loose lips-Joe, having chaired the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, was going to lend his policy expertise to scumbag/liar-nObama, who hadn’t any at all... https://spectator.org/good-old-joe-is-a-peking-duck/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=9fe90f97d1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_05_06_04_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-9fe90f97d1-104608113

Media Lies About Trump To Cover Up
The Brutal Reality Of Late-Term Abortion
by Rebecca Downs
{ thefederalist.com } ~ On April 27, 2019, President Donald Trump held a rally in Wisconsin, where Democratic Gov. Tony Evers has vowed to veto a bill that would require medical care be provided to babies accidentally born alive during abortions... Evers claimed the bill would be “redundant and seems to be not a productive use of time.” “The baby is born. The mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby. They wrap the baby beautifully, and then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby,” Trump said about babies who are left to die from abortions. As charged as his words might sound, he was merely putting restating what Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam said about a bill that, had it passed, would have repealed late-term abortion regulations in his state. The bill thankfully failed in committee. “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother,” Northam said on a radio program. Predictably, the media pounced on Trump’s statements. Some even claimed that Trump was inciting violence on abortion facilities. From just these past couple of days, several media outlets have called out the president, including. The mainstream media is complicit in failing to protect the truly most innocent, vulnerable, and defenseless among us....

Florida Passes Bill Banning Sanctuary Cities
by patriotnewsdaily.com: In one of the most decisive pushbacks against illegal immigration taken recently on the state level, the Florida Legislature passed a bill this week that would ban any city from adopting sanctuary policies... The bill, which is essentially the opposite of laws passed in California last year, would not only allow local law enforcement officials to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, it would require it. Observers expect that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), a vocal supporter of the bill, will sign it into law in the coming days. “We are a stronger state,” DeSantis said, “when we protect our residents, foster safe communities and respect the work of law enforcement at every level.” If signed into law, the bill will make so local officials have to comply with ICE detainer requests. This means that if an illegal alien is arrested and jailed on a crime, jailers and local police must hold them for deportation if the federal government makes the request. The bill will provide exemptions for crime victims and trial witnesses, but it will require local officials to notify ICE if a detainee subject to deportation is released. Critics have said the legislation is an unnecessary political statement given the fact that no Florida city or county has sanctuary policies in place. Nonetheless, Republicans insist that it is an important preemptive step in a landscape where so many sanctuary cities have popped up on the map. They also insist that there is nothing bigoted or anti-immigrant about the law.“This bill isn’t anti-immigrant,” said Rep. Elizabeth Fetterhoff, “and it’s dangerously disingenuous to suggest otherwise. We are a nation of immigrants, proudly so. But we are also a nation of laws.” Speaking of dangerously disingenuous, there is the Florida ACLU, which released an alarmist statement warning people not to travel to the Sunshine State....

Who Commits Most of the
World's Extremist Violence?
Seth Barron
{ jewishworldreview.com } ~ Last month, the New York Times featured an illustrated timeline of "white extremist" killings over the last nine years, with lines demonstrating citation and affiliation among the killers. According to the Times, the record shows "an informal global network of white extremists whose violent attacks are occurring with greater frequency in the West."
The idea that white supremacist violence is a growing global threat has gained more currency recently, notably in the wake of the ghastly Christchurch mosque massacre, when an avowed white nationalist murdered 50 Muslims and, more recently, the mass shooting at Chabad of Poway, near San Diego, where one died. New York congresswoman commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for instance, asserted that "White supremacists committed the largest # of extremist killings in 2017." No one will deny that racial hatred is an evil ideology, and that people who kill in the name of white supremacy commit evil—but is it true that white extremists are sowing a growing amount of worldwide mayhem?
The evidence suggests otherwise. Even a superficial glance at the record indicates that of the nearly 20,000 people killed in thousands of extremist killings in 2017, white supremacists were responsible for very few. The worst terrorist event of 2017, according to the State Department, was the explosion of a truck bomb outside the Safari Hotel in Mogadishu, Somalia, which killed more than 580 people. This violent act is believed to have been the work of Al-Shabaab, which was responsible for 97 percent of the 370 instances of extremist killings in Somalia in 2017, accounting for about 1,400 deaths—mostly civilian. The remaining violent acts were carried out by Jabha East Africa (ISIS-Somalia), a dissident Al-Shabaab splinter group.
The deadliest extremist attack in Egypt's history took place in 2017, when ISIS-Sinai terrorists converged on a mosque in Sinai during Friday prayers and slaughtered 312 people, including 27 children, when they came outside. Also in Egypt that year, on Palm Sunday, an extremist suicide bomber connected to IS-Egypt killed 30 Coptic Christians at a church in Tanta. He coordinated his actions with another suicide bomber, who killed 16 people at a church in Alexandria.
The first day of 2017 was marked by an ISIS attack on a nightclub in Istanbul; the Uzbeki perpetrator killed 35 people. In April, another Uzbeki rammed a truck into a crowd of people in Stockholm, killing seven. In August, ISIS militant Younes Abouyaaqoub ran a truck into a crowd of people in Barcelona, killing 15 people. I mention these acts of extremist killing in Turkey, Sweden, and Spain to illustrate the global nature of the phenomenon; strictly in terms of the numbers of people killed, they are scarcely of note.
White nationalists committed none of the above violent acts of extremist killing, and that's nothing remarkable: almost all the world's extremist violence is concentrated in a handful of regions, where very few white people live. In areas where whites do live America, Canada, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand, white nationalists do indeed perpetrate a significant proportion of the relatively uncommon acts of extremist violence. Again, this is unsurprising, because whites make up the overwhelming majority of the population there.
The New York Times timeline of "white extremist" murders covers nine years and 15 incidents, bookended by the heinous and indisputably racist attacks in Norway in 2011 and Christchurch. Some of the most prominent killings among the remaining 13 incidents, though, resist categorization as acts of white racial terror. Ali Sonboly, the son of Iranian Shi'ite Muslim immigrants and visibly a racial minority, carried out the 2016 Munich mall shooting. The 2016 Umpqua Community College shooting was carried out by a self-identified "mixed-race" man, as was the 2014 Isla Vista massacre, whose perpetrator believed that being half-Chinese made him unattractive to women. The 2018 Toronto van massacre was perpetrated by a white man who declared that he was part of an "Incel Rebellion" against the "Chads and Stacys" of the world—in other words, he was angry that he could not get a girlfriend and was committed to overthrowing the "beautiful people." The killer mowed down pedestrians in Toronto's business district at random. The Times' inclusion of these four incidents calls into question the value of its diagnosis of "white extremist killers."
When commie-Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that white supremacists were responsible for the most extremist killings of 2017, she was obviously wrong, by at least two and maybe three orders of magnitude if she meant worldwide, which is unclear from her tweet. There were at least 8,500 such incidents worldwide that year, and white supremacists accounted for perhaps 15 or 20 of them, depending how you count. But perhaps commie-Ocasio-Cortez was thinking of the U.S. and may be relying on an Anti-Defamation League report, "Murder and Extremism in the United States in 2017," for her information. According to the ADL, 34 people were killed as a result of extremist violence that year in the United States—eight of them by Sayfullo Saipov on Halloween in lower Manhattan. Another victim was Heather Heyer, who was run over by James Fields during the Charlottesville protests.
Heyer's killing can legitimately be labeled an act of white nationalist violence, as Fields was an open admirer of Hitler and the Confederacy. But the other murders that the ADL counts as "extremist-related" are fuzzy, even by the ADL's standards. For instance, Frank Ancona, a Klan member from Missouri, was killed in a domestic dispute by his wife, also a Klan member. And some of the other events, according to the ADL, "include killings stemming from factional disputes, murders of suspected informants, as well as murders committed by extremists in the pursuit of traditional criminal motives."
The Wall Street Journal, citing the U.S. Extremist Crime Database, reports that the frequency of violent hate crime in the United States has been about the same for 50 years. White supremacy is insane and immoral, and it may be a significant threat. But it doesn't account for anywhere near the preponderance of global extremist violence, though one might get a different impression from recent coverage.
