From the New York Times:
Donald Trump Says Hillary Clinton’s Bodyguards Should Disarm to ‘See What Happens to Her’
By NICK CORASANITI, NICHOLAS CONFESSORE and MICHAEL BARBARO SEPT. 16, 2016MIAMI — Donald J. Trump once again raised the specter of violence against Hillary Clinton, suggesting Friday that the Secret Service agents who guard her voluntarily disarm to “see what happens to her” without their protection.
“I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in Miami, to loud applause. “I think they should disarm. Immediately.”
He went on: “Let’s see what happens to her. Take their guns away, O.K. It’ll be very dangerous.”
In justifying his remarks, Mr. Trump falsely claimed that Mrs. Clinton wants to “destroy your Second Amendment,” apparently a reference to her gun control policies.
Obviously, this is a brain dead intentional misinterpretation of Trump’s simple talking point in favor of gun ownership rights.
What’s concerning is that when the establishment media acts this stupid — something that must be painful to their self-images as smart — they are processing powerful emotions and projecting them on to Trump. The press claims to be reading Trump’s mind that somebody should shoot Hillary, so it’s fair play for me to say that they are projecting their inchoate feelings onto Trump.
We saw this kind of projection in the first half of the year, when the press ranted about “violence at Trump rallies,” which, sure enough, conjured into existence massive violence against Trump supporters. Similarly, the media projecting concerns about black criminality onto white policemen got ten cops murdered over the summer in Dallas and Baton Rouge.
This kind of press frenzy has a history of sometimes getting candidates murdered, such as Dutch immigration restrictionist upstart Pim Fortuyn in 2002.
One attempted assassination of Donald Trump has already been provoked this year. The would-be murderer pled guilty a few days ago … to almost zero coverage in the United States.
So it’s time for some self-analysis and self-restraint on the part of the press before somebody gets killed.

Security for himself should be Trump’s first, second and third order of business now. He’s doing well. But well secured small appearances, like the one in Little Haiti in Miami, are probably a better idea than the huge rallies going forward.
We need him safe. We can do the rest.
The Grey Lady has dropped any and all pretense of objectivity, as this editorialized statement of "falsely" is intended to take Trump's words - hyperbole, to be sure, but clearly within the realm of OPINION - and declare them deceptive or inaccurate!
Competing opinions are what campaigns are all about, of course, and to single out this statement and breezily declare it "false" in a straight-news piece rather than in an editorial or op-ed is all anyone needs, in my view, to stop thinking the NYT is anything but a propaganda rag.
Steve, did you read this paper – Steffensmeier et al, “Reassessing Trends in Black Violent Crime, 1980-2008″?
We know that black males and females whose race was identified are responsible for over 50% of nation’s homicides. But there’s a huge problem with official assessments and conclusions about trends in violence based on national statistics published annually in the FBI’s UCR.
In federal statistics an overwhelming majority of the U.S. Hispanic population is classified as White (93%), whereas 4% of Hispanics are considered Black. Also crime-reporting programs typically record Hispanic arrests as White arrestees, failing to separate ethnicity from race – in particular, failing to separate Hispanics from non-Hispanic Whites. This does not only limit understanding of ethnic involvement but also hides the true disparity between White-Black crime rates (when ethnicity is NOT considered the disparity between the two races is less extreme) and tends to inflate White rates and deflate Black rates. It is called the “Hispanic effect”.
After creating estimates of “clean” White and “clean” Black arrest counts that do not include Hispanics, Steffensmeier et al. discovered that the Black share of violent crime was enlarged from 51% to 64% for homicide category and from 59% to 70% for robbery. As far as ratios are concerned, the average Black–White ratio for homicide was 7:1 using official FBI’s figures and jumped to almost 12:1 after adjusting (after separating Hispanics from non-Hispanic Whites). Same for robbery: ratio jumped from 10:1 to 15:1.
64%!
In essence, classifying Hispanic arrestees with Whites (or Blacks) deflates the Black fraction of arrests and deflates the Black–White arrest rate ratio, particularly for the more reliably reported offenses of homicide and robbery.
You will be excoriated!
Under these classifications, the criminality of "non-Hispanic whites" is speciously and dramatically inflated, intentionally(?), and Mestizos/Amerindians and blacks with Spanish surnames don't commit any crimes statistically.
Racially, the category "Hispanic" causes nothing but confusion and ignorance and should be abolished.
For federal crime stats, the single worst issue is that some cities use a "white" and "hispanic" catagories and fail to put hispanics into the hispanic one. This gets put into federal stats and distorts national figures.
And Hispanic thugs in The U.S rarely look like Conquistadors. I remember VDare posted a picture of a Hispanic criminal in Wisconisin who was classified as White by law enforcement even though he looks like Black Panamanian Juan Williams doppelgänger, which means he looks even less White than George Zimmerman. How the hell does someone who looks like Juan Williams get classified as White in mostly Scandinavian and German Wisconsin? It doesn't get any Whiter than than Scandinavians and Germans. You would think the criteria for being White in Wisconsin would be a lot more strict.
Yup, it’s total projection. Vox’s 3rd rule applies.
Wasn’t I correct when I said that, following Hillary’s Parkinson’s collapse on Sunday at the 9/11 speech, the Left would ramp-up it’s violent rhetoric, all to encourage someone to murder Trump, as Trump’s victory was becoming ever more clear?
Trump’s would-be assassin got only two years in prison. Wow.
Kellyanne Conway probably scolding Trump about this. Good thing it happened on a weekend. I’m sure something else crazy will be happening by next week.
I don’t know, did you catch the names of the three writers of this NYT article? Dumb guineas who could harbor such thoughts. Shows like The Sopranos would not have been as successful if not based a stereotype which was true.
A Guinea foul if there ever was one.
You used “self-analysis ” and “the press” in the same sentence. Oh, I get it, you were joking.
Absolutely right.
The left’s use of violence to suppress dissent, and its use of code words such as “fascist” and “racist” to implicitly pre-justify “all necessary means” against its targets, is pretty routine and commonplace.
It was interesting how quickly all that stopped when it was pointed out that it was boosting the Trump’s campaign’s “law and order” credentials. Partly a matter of some of the less stupid amongst the leftist thugs getting the message directly, but more I suspect to do with the Democrat paymasters and organisers behind the violence turning off the organisational spigots.
How profoundly stupid would the NYT writers have to be if they actually believed that Clinton doesn’t want gun control (ie to “destroy second amendment rights”). In reality they surely know full well that Clinton is just being a standard lying politician when she claims not to want that, and they themselves are joining in the lie knowingly.
Kind of like domestic islamic terror attacks. The Clinton campaign claims that Trump is in cahoots with Putin to sabotage her campaign. I wonder if she is projecting her ISIS cahoots instead.

What you are failing to grasp is many of those black offenders could have been white. It was just an unhappy coincidence that they were black.
BBC reported this morning in lockstep with US media, implying (without specific allegation) that Trump wanted Hillary killed.
It seems to be a reasonable question – shouldn’t someone who wants to disarm Americans set a personal example?
But it’s not just the BBC – here’s the Telegraph, a formerly Tory paper owned by a couple of Brit oligarchs who could have stepped out of a Bond movie.

Steve, I’m a little surprised there has not been a shot taken at Trump. I suspect his habit of doing these events at or near airports is part of it. Still, the last time the Left burned out in a fit of insanity, someone was taking shots at politicians on a regular basis. There has to be a few Squeaky Frommes attached to the BLM or on the payroll of George Soros.
What a howler. All the News That’s Fit to Print!
There’s been a lot of coverage of Donald Trump’s would-be assassin in the UK press. There was a large segment about him in The One Show, the country’s largest lowbrow current affairs program. Of course they’re united in the message that “He a good boy, he dindu nuffin”. They even want him to serve his sentence in the UK, which seems unlikely, given what happened to the last autistic British man to break US law.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_McKinnon
“So it’s time for some self-analysis and self-restraint on the part of the press before somebody gets killed.”
Considering that “somebody” would almost certainly be Trump, I’m worried.
Otherwise I really don’t give a flip. I’m armed and live in an extremely low crime area. (Need I add it was even lower crime when it was whiter?) My friends are mostly the same. I’m not overly concerned about people who don’t take sensible precautions.
We have a mulatto POTUS whose language has been almost as racially inflammatory as the press’s language is now. That’s even more egregious since he’s an elected government official and a constitutional law scholar.
The press is no more likely to engage in self-analysis and exercise self-restraint than Obama is to promote racial healing and encourage national unity.

Why do you continue to harp on such deplorable hate facts?
You will be excoriated!
Steve,
As Ann Barnhardt would say, you’re making the mistake of appealing to the conscience of people who have no conscience.
What I say- f$&k the NYT.
Three blind mice with nice Ivy League pedigrees are still blind to the obvious. When Mayor Everytown flies around to tell us all how we should be disarmed by the government does he take his own armed guards with him? He certainly isn’t eligible for secret service protection.
Yup.
A Guinea foul if there ever was one.
No, Steve.
They most earnestly *want* Donald Trump to be harmed in some way.
It’s obvious.
Another reason left wing thugs target Trump rallies is that they are just more fun than Hillary’s. People are smiling and joking and cheering at The Donald’s events and everybody seems glad to be there. At Hillary’s, they look like half of them are SEIU losers wearing the same lame T-shirts who were bused in. If you notice photographs of her rallies, people come in and sit down as groups. The students over here, the old women over there, the black-this-or-that over yonder. And then she scolds the audience. They look like they are getting an enema.
Most liberals would be perfectly happy if Trump were assassinated. There is a level of rancor in this run-up that I’ve never seen before. I can hardly hold a normal, respectable conversation with my liberal in-laws and friends.
My sister-in-law compared Trump to Hitler. In a perfectly normal tone of voice (honestly) I asked her “Why?” and “How are they alike?”.
Now I asked this as one who began reading about WW2, WW1, The Third Reich, the Weimar Republic etc. 45 years ago and I was genuinely curious about her thought forms–how she makes the connection in her mind, what parallels she would draw.
In a huff she just said, “Do you read the Economist?”. And that was the end of our conversation.
(As a matter of fact, I used to read the Economist, but gave it up for real books about economics written by economists, but that’s beside the point.)
As far as she was concerned, there was nothing to discuss. And this is a woman with an advanced degree in STEM from Stanford. If a person with these credentials is intolerant and frankly, ignorant, then what can we expect from the rank and file Anthropology and Poly Sci majors? Death Wish.
A man I work with, in his seventies, professional degree in an engineering field, expressed the hope that some sharpshooter is honing his skill in order to take Trump out before Election Day. I was shocked and said so. He asked me if it wouldn't have been a desirable thing for Hitler to have been killed in 1938.
Leftists have lost their reason in this election cycle. I think that after going from victory to victory, they can't get their minds around the reality that there are large numbers of people who don't agree with their outlook or policies.
And they're not used to being laughed at.
The left's use of violence to suppress dissent, and its use of code words such as "fascist" and "racist" to implicitly pre-justify "all necessary means" against its targets, is pretty routine and commonplace.It was interesting how quickly all that stopped when it was pointed out that it was boosting the Trump's campaign's "law and order" credentials.

not really OT:
last night the car of the leader of the german Party AfD was burned down
All The News That’s Fit to Print (it’s not)
I had not heard about the assassination attempt until this post.
The NYT is more upset than usual because New York is Trump’s home base, and they’re scared of the Home State advantage candicates usually have. Stein and Johnson are also on the ballot in New York, and recent polling indicates they could really Nadar things up for Hillary. Hillary and her minions are too scared of losing more of their leftist supporters if they dare attack leftist candidates with better credentials or character, so their only chance is running full bore to destroy Trump’s reputation.
Unforuntately for Hillary, every time she and her supporters come across as nasty, this only makes Stein and Johnson look better in the eyes of the left. The voters don’t have to pencil in the circle for Hillary to avoid voting for Trump because they have an alternative. I think Hillary underestimates the sheer mental inflexibility of leftists. They really will vote 3rd party to avoid her because they believe in doing what is right according to their ideology instead of doing what common sense should be telling them. If the left had common sense, they wouldn’t be leftists.
Ambush and murder of police in Philly, live commentary from the White House deploring the black on blue violence. Oh, wait, only the first part happened.
Obama’s refusal to acknowledge public safety personnel risks and sacrifices (e.g., no blue lights on White House) is compounded by his tendency toward incitement. Counting the days until he leaves.
Media reports now identify the Philadelphia wannabe cop killer as Nicholas Glenn, with no mention of race or ethnicity. I assume he's black, because there's no mention of his race or ethnicity. If so, no reason for the White House to get involved in a purely local matter, or for this story to persist beyond a single news cycle. If he's white, the President and Clinton can hold a joint press conference to call for a double-ban on Confederate flags, or something.

Gallup poll: Public confidence in media falls to all-time low
“only about a third of the U.S. has any trust in the Fourth Estate, a stunning development for an institution designed to inform the public.”

Excerpts from a few Washington Post articles during President William J. Clinton’s impeachment proceedings that help explain why Hillary relishes using the term “deplorable” against her enemies.
December 20, 1998, “House Approves Articles Alleging Perjury, Obstruction”:
While “the behavior of the president in this matter was deplorable” and merits punishment, [Senate Minority Leader Thomas A.] Daschle said, “we cannot allow any president – Republican or Democrat – to be forced from office by a party-line vote in the House of Representatives.”
February 12, 1999, “Feinstein: A Last-Minute Push for Censure”:
[Sen. Dianne Feinstein] made a last-minute appeal to the Senate yesterday, saying that Clinton’s behavior was “immoral, deplorable and indefensible” and that it merited “strong condemnation and censure.”
February 12, 1999, ” Scandal’s Legacy: A Blush of Open Sex Talk”:
A year of national soul-searching has shaped and crystalized Americans’ reasoning about sex and public morality: With near unanimity, we apparently find Bill Clinton’s escapades wrong, even deplorable…
February 13, 1999, “One Senator’s Journey”:
[Senator Joseph] Lieberman joined his Democratic colleagues, and a handful of Republicans, in voting to acquit Clinton on both articles of impeachment brought against him by the House of Representatives. He did so, he said, because though Clinton’s behavior was deplorable, it did not rise to the status of crimes against the republic…”
February 13, 1999, ” The Senate Acquits President Clinton”:
[Majority Leader Trent] Lott said …”I think people felt that clearly the president’s conduct was deplorable, indefensible, dishonorable and all of that, but they did not want the Senate to fall into a real partisan bickering situation.”
In late summer, Trump seemed to be telegraphing a sense of resignation at the prospect of a loss in a "rigged system." But then, Trump's native desire for victory was reinvigorated with the hiring of Conway and Bannon. I wonder whether they impressed upon Trump that losing to people like the Clintons would never be just a one-time thing: that once in office a President Clinton and her allies in the culture would mythologize Trump as the American Hitler, from whom the country was saved by the election of the first woman president. It would be a replay of Obama's "blame Bush" antics, but magnified in order to make the lackluster Hillary seem to shine brighter. A defeated Trump would not be allowed to return to his former life, but his very name--the name his children share--would be made a deplorable word, so that "history" would never forget how Hillary had saved America from the dark angels of its worst nature.
By advancing the vivid word "deplorable," I suspect Hillary was laying a marker intended to resonate beyond November, to the two-minute-hates that would justify her presidency. It backfired--in part, perhaps, because Trump now grasps that against such venal opponents, the only way to rescue his name in history is to win the presidency outright.
Let's help him do it.
https://www.amazon.com/Catching-Our-Flag-Presidential-Impeachment/dp/1935071327/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307304925&sr=8-1
https://www.c-span.org/video/?299662-1/catching-flag
So in their ravings the press admits, implicitly, that they too believe that a person undefended by arms is more likely to be killed. This is the logical corollary to their claim that Trump’s suggestion that Hillary’s bodyguards disarm is actually a dog-whistled call for her assassination. It proves that when the same people advocate for the disarming of ordinary Americans, they are actually hoping that ordinary Americans will be victimized more often.
Or, once the above has been been pointed out to them, the press could attempt to cover for themselves by saying, “No, we don’t believe any such thing [i.e. that arms make people safer], but it’s just the sort of thing that that gun-loving scoundrel Trump would believe, so from his point of view it’s still an attack on Hillary.” But in this case their claim that guns don’t actually make people safer obviates any reason they might have for opposing the suggestion that Hillary’s bodyguards disarm.
Either way they’re being ridiculous and scurrilous, and you’ll find that a similar analysis can be applied to every position taken up by a committed Leftist. Rationality plays no part in anything they do; it’s all Who?-Whom? with them anyway, nothing but pure acts of personal destruction.
The press themselves are too dimwitted to realize this. They are largely unaware of the role they play in the whole political theater. Like the mobs in the Roman Colosseum, they get off on the violence of the spectacle and are insensible of the extent to which their own cheering and jeering is a part of the spectacle.
I think it is hoping for too much to ask them to control themselves. Like any mob, they need to be controlled by a higher authority. Trump has already proven that he can troll and misdirect and schlong the media at whim, so perhaps he already has them right where he wants them. He truly is a great man for these times we live in.
As for the more theoretical point at hand, viz. the vaunted freedom of the press, we see now that, like all the so-called freedoms of Classical Liberalism, it is really just anarchy in germ. Free speech, of which freedom of the press is a derivative, is the very first thing that the Who-Whomers insist upon, for they know that with this firmly in hand they have a weapon wherewith to wage the rest of the battle. They demand this ladder be extended to them to lift them out of the powerless pit they occupy. Once ascended, they kick it down again—”freedom for me but not for thee.”
Unlike the right to self-defense, which derives from the Natural Law and is thus inalienable, there is no natural human right to freedom of speech. One is not “free” to think, believe, or say things that aren’t true. “Error has no rights” is the old Catholic formulation. The whole raft of First Amendment guarantees is actually not something that a Traditional Conservative should endorse or defend. The very existence of an enormous, agitating press corps of the sort we have today is like an aneurysm of error ready to blow. The social mood will change, and when it does the press will find themselves bereft of the legitimacy and authority they once exploited.
It is not platforms, slogans, or ideologies, but truth which endures. The power to speak is granted us that we may proclaim truth, approve truth, adore truth, which of course includes condemning error. Anyone who remains pertinacious in error, as our press most assuredly does, has already deprived himself ipso facto of the “right to speak” and it belongs to the ministers of justice to enforce the verdict of nature by taking from him his power to speak. The press, the lying press, must be silenced and punished. I think Trump is already on the right track with them.
I don’t know what the NYT is talking about. Hillary has said she thinks Heller was wrongly decided. I don’t think Hillary wants to exactly “destroy” the Second Amendment, but she intends to appoint people to the Supreme Court who will weaken it.
On CNN they used the line 'Trump falsely claimed...' repeatedly in relation to the birther snafu.
Maybe they have installed new software for instant fact checking. The software is so powerful it can do forensic investigation in real time. They interviewed Van Jones and he was more circumspect than newsreader, making at least a passing reference to the evidence.
What's funny is that back in her 2007-8 campaign Hillary insisted she was pro-Second Amendment and talked about her duck hunting experience, which was as convincing as her dodging sniper fire experience.
“Dutch immigration restrictionist upstart Pim Fortuyn in 2002″
1970s (before the immigration act of 1965 truly kicked in) immigration humor. Before they had actual immigrants to make fun of racists had to use Americans as a stand in. Interesting historical note, during the skit they refer to superior (landline) telephone service as one reason to come to America.

Immigration’s $60 Billion School Bill
Brendan Kirby, Lifezette, September 16, 2016
The rising number of schoolchildren with little or no proficiency in English is imposing steep costs–both fiscal and in terms of student performance. That’s according to a new study by a Washington think tank that favors lower immigration levels.
The study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform calculates that some 4.9 million students–about 1 in 10–have been designated as Limited English Proficiency, or LEP. The costs of educating them is $59.8 billion a year, including $43.9 billion for the 2.6 million who came to the country illegally. The per-student cost of $12,128 is about 20 percent higher than the average cost of educating all students.
The additional costs come from salaries, benefits, and training for thousands of LEP teachers, tutoring, bilingual textbooks, and other spending. Virtually all of the costs of providing LEP services–some 99 percent–are borne by state and local taxpayers.
{snip}
Because immigrants and their children are clustered in a handful of states, some school systems bear a disproportionate share of the overall cost. Thirteen states spent more than $1 billion on LEP programs in 2016, with California, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, and Washington spending the most. Almost 10 percent of the states serve more than 100,000 LEP students, and 22 educate more than 50,000, according to the report.
{snip}
While LEP students make up about 10 percent of the total in all grades, it is 17.4 percent in kindergarten. The study notes that the Department of Education determined in 2013 that the United States will need 82,408 new LEP teachers by 2018. Only about 10 percent of teachers currently are certified to teach English as a Second Language.
{snip}
The study documents tight school budgets and painful spending cuts that school systems have made–many of the same systems are experiencing increasing costs for LEP programs. Chicago school officials, for instance, are preparing for teacher layoffs and bigger classes triggered by cuts exceeding 20 percent. The average property tax bill also jumped 13 percent over the previous year.
At the same time, Illinois will have to nearly triple its budget for its 186,646 LEP students to $1.9 billion, according to the study.
In Boston, where thousands of high school students staged a walkout to protest budget cuts, a third of all pupils are in LEP programs. LEP students make up 20 percent of the enrollment in Lexington, Nebraska, a city with a large meat-packing industry in the western part of the state.
Despite the extra help, LEP students typically perform below grade level. The report cites data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress indicating that 7 percent of fourth-grade LEP students scored at the “proficient” level, while just 1 percent showed the ability to master advanced work. Non-LEP fourth-graders achieved one of the two highest levels on the NAEP.
They are entitled to affirmative action college admissions and government jobs when they grow up.

> black on blue violence
Media reports now identify the Philadelphia wannabe cop killer as Nicholas Glenn, with no mention of race or ethnicity. I assume he’s black, because there’s no mention of his race or ethnicity. If so, no reason for the White House to get involved in a purely local matter, or for this story to persist beyond a single news cycle.

The fact that this occurred in Philadelphia is already a dead giveaway that the cop killer is a Negro. Philadelphia is the Chicago and Baltimore of Pennsylvania.
Trump needs to say something to the effect of “I want Hillary to live a long and healthy life, and more to the point, I hope she can maintain what is left of her mental acuity long enough to feel the pain of defeat on election night and for the rest of her days.”
Seems reasonable inasmuch as the charge was “disrupting an official function.” Which, by the by, it wasn’t … right?
Obama's refusal to acknowledge public safety personnel risks and sacrifices (e.g., no blue lights on White House) is compounded by his tendency toward incitement. Counting the days until he leaves.
Police are deplorable. The secret service is deplorable. The army is deplorable. Anyone not earning in the top 10% of earners is deplorable and frankly anyone not in the top 1% is to be suspected of deplorability. There is another name for the deplorables: peasantry. Since when does the herditary nobility (and it is hereditary now) care what happens between the peasants. Besides, the peasants in blue are suspected of disloyalty. And that is the worst kind of peasant.
“Media reports now identify the Philadelphia wannabe cop killer as Nicholas Glenn, with no mention of race or ethnicity.”
He wasn’t a Trump supporter, he was one of Obama’s imaginary sons. But the damage he did in his short life was real. Good riddance.
You must not have heard. The NYT’s new slogan is “All the News that Fits”. They just haven’t gotten around to changing the masthead yet.
Despite the Democratic Party’s long-term momentum (Flight 93 Election), this contest is going to be determined by how Undecideds vote (if they bother). Undecideds don’t read iSteve or any other source of political analysis, because they don’t care that much about politics. They’re fine with being low information on a topic of low interest.
I was away from the web as the Birther and Disarm Hillary’s Bodyguards issues boiled up. I learned about them from catching snippets of NBC News, CNN, and NPR, as I went about my day.
The picture that emerged across these organs was consistent. As a longstanding birther, yesterday Trump falsely accused Hillary of starting that movement. Then he was forced to recant his crazy birther belief. But then he started with something else, fomenting gun violence against Hillary. Plus, he outsmarted the lapdog press again, making them wait as he delayed a speech interminably. The man in insufferable. Hillary — and the country! — deserve a better opponent than this.
Nothing about Sid Blumenthal spreading birther rumors in 2008 (screenshots of McClatchy reporter James Asher’s tweets here). Per Sailer, no hint that Trump’s remarks about Clinton’s Secret Service detail were obviously sarcastic.
All other things being equal, Undecideds who get news like this from multiple, reputable, independent mainstream sources are going to vote for Clinton. They may not like her much, but Trump is the scary loose cannon.
Hillary "attempted to get Blumenthal a State Department post in 2009, but aides to President Barack Obama blocked the appointment because of what they viewed as Blumenthal’s role in spreading rumors about Obama during the 2008 presidential primary fight with Clinton."
Most iSteve readers are aware of these two fun facts; most Undecideds are not. And they don't much care.
There was also the incident in Cleveland when a guy rushed onto the stage.
And remember what happened to Huey Long during his populist presidential race.
There may be elements of the “press” who believe the crap they say. But if their IQ is greater than their hat size they are not projecting. They are lying.
Yes the MSM is running amok about Trump’s remark even though they know he was not really suggesting the Secret Service should disarm.
But for the sake of the future of my country I wish he would stop handing the other side ammunition.
“So it’s time for some self-analysis and self-restraint on the part of the press before somebody gets killed.”
But they want him killed, just like they wanted Fortuyn killed. So they’re not going to stop. However Trump unlike Fortuyn or Van Gogh seems good at not giving them what they want.
Given that Reagan and Wallace were both shot and badly wounded – Trump really, really, needs to be careful.
The Left is full of loonies (usually Gay weirdos) who would love to assassinate someone who’s “Just like Hitler”.
Note how the media has taken to inserting the word ‘falsely’ before reporting on Trump’s claims during this campaign cycle. On MSNBC yesterday the chyron scrolling below Trump during his presser said Trump (falsely) links Hillary to the birther scandal. Now they are writing that Trump falsely claims Hillary wants to destroy the 2nd Amendment.
Why don’t they ever use ‘falsely’ before a democrat claim? For example every election cycle it seems the democrats tell blacks that the GOP wants to bring back slavery or segregation. Do they literally want this? Or should the media insert ‘falsely’?
Every election cycle the democrats claim the GOP wants to abolish social security and leave the elderly to starve in the streets. Do they literally want this? Or should the media insert ‘falsely’?
Up until now the media has always treated such statements as political hyperbole and has left it to the voters to decide. Apparently, they no longer trust the voters.
But I think part of the problem is that the Left has advanced a good deal towards a complete takeover of elite universities and media sources.
Bulgarian ex-MP (interviewed on Hungarian TV) makes Trump look like a cuck:
We know that black males and females whose race was identified are responsible for over 50% of nation's homicides. But there's a huge problem with official assessments and conclusions about trends in violence based on national statistics published annually in the FBI's UCR.
In federal statistics an overwhelming majority of the U.S. Hispanic population is classified as White (93%), whereas 4% of Hispanics are considered Black. Also crime-reporting programs typically record Hispanic arrests as White arrestees, failing to separate ethnicity from race - in particular, failing to separate Hispanics from non-Hispanic Whites. This does not only limit understanding of ethnic involvement but also hides the true disparity between White-Black crime rates (when ethnicity is NOT considered the disparity between the two races is less extreme) and tends to inflate White rates and deflate Black rates. It is called the "Hispanic effect".
After creating estimates of "clean" White and "clean" Black arrest counts that do not include Hispanics, Steffensmeier et al. discovered that the Black share of violent crime was enlarged from 51% to 64% for homicide category and from 59% to 70% for robbery. As far as ratios are concerned, the average Black–White ratio for homicide was 7:1 using official FBI's figures and jumped to almost 12:1 after adjusting (after separating Hispanics from non-Hispanic Whites). Same for robbery: ratio jumped from 10:1 to 15:1.
64%!
In essence, classifying Hispanic arrestees with Whites (or Blacks) deflates the Black fraction of arrests and deflates the Black–White arrest rate ratio, particularly for the more reliably reported offenses of homicide and robbery.
Wait! You mean that government statistics can’t be trusted? OMG, I’m gonna have to go lie down.
Sidney Blumenthal is the long-time Clinton confidant at the center of Clinton’s email server scandal.
Hillary “attempted to get Blumenthal a State Department post in 2009, but aides to President Barack Obama blocked the appointment because of what they viewed as Blumenthal’s role in spreading rumors about Obama during the 2008 presidential primary fight with Clinton.”
Most iSteve readers are aware of these two fun facts; most Undecideds are not. And they don’t much care.
Do you have to say “concerning”? That’s femspeak.
“The left’s use of violence to suppress dissent, and its use of code words such as “fascist” and “racist” to implicitly pre-justify “all necessary means” against its targets, is pretty routine and commonplace.”
A lot of these leftists are high-IQ bullies who excel at not leaving any fingerprints and getting others to do their dirty work. Subtle and not-so-subtle threats come naturally to them. People of the Lie. Live not by lies.
Steve, here’s your problem. You still trust and believe in the fundamental decency of the Press. The Press is FILLED with Nice White Ladies, the worst of White people, and their placating, supplicating, pedestalizing male colleagues (the second worst group of White people).
OF COURSE they want Trump murdered. Nice White Ladies particularly. They just don’t want to do it themselves, that would be “icky.” Far better that some sacred Black object of redemption do it, or at least a member of the vibrant.
The Press is mostly the ex-bimbos of various Democratic politicians, like say that gal that got trolled by a couple of 4chan dudes over Pepe the Frog. She was an ex-Weiner intern. She interned, for … Weiner. That’s pretty much the Press these days.
Long gone are Mencken and Ring Lardner. In their place are a bunch of bimbos not pretty enough to be Charlie Sheen ex-goddesses. Or get a role on Sharknado 7, The Revenge.
Considering that "somebody" would almost certainly be Trump, I'm worried.
Otherwise I really don't give a flip. I'm armed and live in an extremely low crime area. (Need I add it was even lower crime when it was whiter?) My friends are mostly the same. I'm not overly concerned about people who don't take sensible precautions.
We have a mulatto POTUS whose language has been almost as racially inflammatory as the press's language is now. That's even more egregious since he's an elected government official and a constitutional law scholar.
The press is no more likely to engage in self-analysis and exercise self-restraint than Obama is to promote racial healing and encourage national unity.
BHO was a lecturer in constitutional law, which hardly makes him a constitutional law scholar. He was even then too lazy to do the minimum they asked of him to get on the fast tenure track.
But just for the hell of it, I googled "constitutional law scholar Obama" this morning and sure enough, that's how some of the reputable press descriibed him.
Sickening, isn't it?
His handlers arranged it so he could put it in his resume when he ran for office. He had a Dunham great uncle who was a librarian at university of Chicago for many years. Like the Dunham mother and grandparents the great uncle was a hard leftist.
December 20, 1998, "House Approves Articles Alleging Perjury, Obstruction":
While "the behavior of the president in this matter was deplorable" and merits punishment, [Senate Minority Leader Thomas A.] Daschle said, "we cannot allow any president – Republican or Democrat – to be forced from office by a party-line vote in the House of Representatives."
February 12, 1999, "Feinstein: A Last-Minute Push for Censure":
[Sen. Dianne Feinstein] made a last-minute appeal to the Senate yesterday, saying that Clinton's behavior was "immoral, deplorable and indefensible" and that it merited "strong condemnation and censure."
February 12, 1999, " Scandal's Legacy: A Blush of Open Sex Talk":
A year of national soul-searching has shaped and crystalized Americans' reasoning about sex and public morality: With near unanimity, we apparently find Bill Clinton's escapades wrong, even deplorable...
February 13, 1999, "One Senator's Journey":
[Senator Joseph] Lieberman joined his Democratic colleagues, and a handful of Republicans, in voting to acquit Clinton on both articles of impeachment brought against him by the House of Representatives. He did so, he said, because though Clinton's behavior was deplorable, it did not rise to the status of crimes against the republic..."
February 13, 1999, " The Senate Acquits President Clinton":
[Majority Leader Trent] Lott said ..."I think people felt that clearly the president's conduct was deplorable, indefensible, dishonorable and all of that, but they did not want the Senate to fall into a real partisan bickering situation."
Brilliant work, Harry. We’re having a lot of fun with this “Deplorables” meme, but it really did tip the hand of the Clintonian Left, about their past grudges and their vengeful plans for the future. Here’s what I mean:
In late summer, Trump seemed to be telegraphing a sense of resignation at the prospect of a loss in a “rigged system.” But then, Trump’s native desire for victory was reinvigorated with the hiring of Conway and Bannon. I wonder whether they impressed upon Trump that losing to people like the Clintons would never be just a one-time thing: that once in office a President Clinton and her allies in the culture would mythologize Trump as the American Hitler, from whom the country was saved by the election of the first woman president. It would be a replay of Obama’s “blame Bush” antics, but magnified in order to make the lackluster Hillary seem to shine brighter. A defeated Trump would not be allowed to return to his former life, but his very name–the name his children share–would be made a deplorable word, so that “history” would never forget how Hillary had saved America from the dark angels of its worst nature.
By advancing the vivid word “deplorable,” I suspect Hillary was laying a marker intended to resonate beyond November, to the two-minute-hates that would justify her presidency. It backfired–in part, perhaps, because Trump now grasps that against such venal opponents, the only way to rescue his name in history is to win the presidency outright.
Let’s help him do it.
If you can blame the assassination of Fortuyn on the leftwing press, then you can blame all the murders committed by Anders Breivik on the rightwing, anti-immigrant press.
What I find especially nauseating in the Times story is the use of the word “apparently.” Well, duh?! But it suggests a patrician snoot with snuff up the snout dealing with and not quite understanding the imprecations of the pig farmers, and yet, being languid, swoony, and comfortably seated on his lounge chair in the parlor, too inert to actually check or even think with rigor. These people have become parodies of themselves.

Yes, I’ve been paying modest attention to elections since 1980. I’ve seen a lot of bias over the years but nothing anywhere near this level of media hostility towards a candidate. Obviously part of it is that they hate Trump more than your typical Republican candidate and hate the fact that he has used them so effectively for free advertising.
But I think part of the problem is that the Left has advanced a good deal towards a complete takeover of elite universities and media sources.
The left's use of violence to suppress dissent, and its use of code words such as "fascist" and "racist" to implicitly pre-justify "all necessary means" against its targets, is pretty routine and commonplace.It was interesting how quickly all that stopped when it was pointed out that it was boosting the Trump's campaign's "law and order" credentials. Partly a matter of some of the less stupid amongst the leftist thugs getting the message directly, but more I suspect to do with the Democrat paymasters and organisers behind the violence turning off the organisational spigots.How profoundly stupid would the NYT writers have to be if they actually believed that Clinton doesn't want gun control (ie to "destroy second amendment rights"). In reality they surely know full well that Clinton is just being a standard lying politician when she claims not to want that, and they themselves are joining in the lie knowingly.
Or did he just stop holding rallies in places like San Jose, California, where the police chief and the mayor are La Raza types, and the white population is badly dwindled and cowed?
That may be a lot of it. There is no point in Trump campaigning in California, a state he will surely lose.
When I was at a Trump rally in Sacramento we didn't run into the same problems that occurred in San Jose. Maybe Sacramento is California in name only. Sac and it's suburbs do not seem to be as Far Left as the rest of the state. It's one of the few places in California where you do not have to stay in the closet if you are a Conservative.
You sound a lot like Bizzarro Tiny Duck.
OT, but would love to hear Steve’s take on the BLM “Hugh Mungus” incident. SJW comedy gold!

The overwhelming majority of “Hispanics” or “Latinos” are Mestizos and pure Amerindians and a minority of “Hispanics” are black (including mulattoes and “zambos,” a mixture of African and Amerindian). So if a Mestizo or “Indio” with a Spanish surname murders an “African-American,” it’s classified as a white-on-black homicide. Most absurdly, if a black “Hispanic” murders an “African-American,” it’s classified as a white-on-black homicide!
Under these classifications, the criminality of “non-Hispanic whites” is speciously and dramatically inflated, intentionally(?), and Mestizos/Amerindians and blacks with Spanish surnames don’t commit any crimes statistically.
Racially, the category “Hispanic” causes nothing but confusion and ignorance and should be abolished.
The overwhelming majority of Hispanics are Triracial.
I like how these cheap whore journalistas pretend they are five years old and don’t know what Trump is getting at when he said Hillary should should tell her body guards to leave their guns at home.
The journalista who can tear down Donald Trump by twisting his words effectively. Meaning, in a way that resonates with the sheeple. This jouro gets fame/Pokemon points among his lib/left peers and maybe a few hot dates with an LGBTQWERTY whatever.
More attacks on police by Obama’s sons:

We need him safe. We can do the rest.
“Self-analysis and self-restraint”? Never. Imagine the frenzy and hysteria, the excoriation and vituperation, the provocations and incitements to murder, explicit and implicit, if Trump wins and is then re-elected. Envisage the attempts to murder him over a period of 4 or 8 years. And the greater the number, the more likely that he’ll be assasinnated.
I don’t like to be conspirational, especially when some conspiracies are planted, but was the Hillary Clinton’s chair on the Jimmy Fallon show custom made? on the Daily Mail article, from some angles, it looks less deep, different wood. There were rumors that she needed cushions to be propped up, there’s no cushion, but…. could/would the show have a special chair made? Also, notice how she doesn’t cross her legs, just her feet. Nothing wrong with that, just makes her look less limber, less flexible.

I myself usually describe him as a "community organizer/asbestos remover".
Yet she supports an invasion of Muslims who believe that homosexuals should be stoned to death or thrown off the roofs of tall buildings and slanders and excoriates anyone who opposes this invasion as “Islamophobic.” All non-Europeans are sacred and inviolate even if their beliefs and actions are inimical to modern left-liberalism.
Nigel Farage escaped the “Pim Fortuyn Solution” — So will Trump. Any and all political violence emanating from the evil ruling class of the corrupt American Empire will hasten its end. Trump is the Battle of Hastings. We are the Normans. The answer to 1984 is 1066. My first ancestors to reach America landed in Norman Virginia. I am writing this from Saxon New England.
Media reports now identify the Philadelphia wannabe cop killer as Nicholas Glenn, with no mention of race or ethnicity. I assume he's black, because there's no mention of his race or ethnicity. If so, no reason for the White House to get involved in a purely local matter, or for this story to persist beyond a single news cycle. If he's white, the President and Clinton can hold a joint press conference to call for a double-ban on Confederate flags, or something.
Good call, you are right.
http://heavy.com/news/2016/09/nicholas-glenn-philadelphia-philly-police-rampage-shooting-letter-shooter-record-gunman-suspect-identified-facebook-photos-officers-killer/
Off Topic. The Tyre King killing is done as an issue. BLM backed off quickly when it was obviously that the ‘bb gun’ and the 13 year old were fleeing from an armed robbery.
The final deal killer. A 19 year old involved confessed and also blamed the kid, with the caveat that he thought the police would only tase the kid.
It’s incredible difficult to find police killing a black person that is sympathetic. That is another source of rage.
In this case, I think it is a loser as an example of anything. As far as the 13 year old Honor Student in a STEM magnet school … well, that’s no going anywhere. But as far as the 13 year old being a super predator …. I think it is very, very likely that someone in the group robbery ordered the 13 year old to hold the gun. Before, during, or after the robbery.
As if anyone gives a fuck what Trump thinks about birtherism, a lot of people would care if Clinton had to take a position on BLM. Last year, the final 2014 crime statistics … FBI Uniform Crime Report was released in the last week of September. Look for the 2015 final report soon — and we know what it will show.

I agree with most of your comment as race and crime statistics is something I follow and write about a lot, but one item was wrong:
This is just too general. In Census statistics, Hispanics are certainly not 93% white. More like 40% in California, less somewhere like NYC that has Dominicans.
For federal crime stats, the single worst issue is that some cities use a “white” and “hispanic” catagories and fail to put hispanics into the hispanic one. This gets put into federal stats and distorts national figures.
For police shootings, Fatal Encounters is a private database and the Washington Post also is/has created one. I think we are close to having 'crowd sourced' and private databases of homicides in the US.
The amazing thing about Fatal Encounters is that it includes links to news stories. So, anyone can audit the data. If it is an error, Fatal Encounters will edit it. It is also extremely inclusive -- it includes cases where a cop shot a spouse, for example.
Overall, it is now too late to pretend 'we just don't have the data'.
During Ferguson, a number of experts were on CNN testifying that 'we just don't have the data'
But now, it's there.
With 'big data', we can learn -- in theory -- the preferred brand of breakfast cereal for each victim, as desired.
Do you really believe 40 percent of Hispanics in California are White? Not even Mexico itself is anywhere near 40 percent White and the vast majority of Hispanics in California are Mexican.
Unless you believe Mexico is disproportionately sending us their Whitest citizens like Cuba has done. If that were the case than Mexicans in California would be disproportionately overrepresented among the state's upper middle class population. After all Cubans make up a sizable number of Miami's upper middle class population.
The 911 call.
This is far from a black/white thing in real time, real world, real life. The white ‘victim’ just handed over $10 and was walking off. It sounds like an adult black woman did most of the talking to 911, and she was not thinking of them as just some kids.
Trump is clumsy in his speech, but he was clearly just making a point about the hypocrisy of gun-restrictionists. Hillary Clinton has been guarded by armed government employees non-stop since 1983, when her husband was elected governor of Arkansas for the second time. Many of Hillary’s wealthy supporters, people like Barbara Streisand and Rosie O’Donnell, don’t believe that you – a mere member of the hoi-polloi – should be able to arm and defend yourself, while they have armed men standing between themselves and any would-be assailant. In many cases, rich elites in New York City are themselves armed, having secured permits that almost nobody else can get.
And now Frauke Petry of Germany’s immigration restrictionist AfD party has had her car attacked:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3794275/Car-used-German-nationalist-leader-goes-flames.html
“Or did he just stop holding rallies in places like San Jose, California, where the police chief and the mayor are La Raza types, and the white population is badly dwindled and cowed?”
That may be a lot of it. There is no point in Trump campaigning in California, a state he will surely lose.

Moreover, it is not a false claim. Hillary almost certainly does want to destroy the 2nd amendment, in all but name. That would be one of the aims of her policies as President, her picks for the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary, and legislative initiatives of her party.

Lot. I was just looking at some CDC data and it was organized by race and ethnicity. In this data structure, all Hispanics were listed as ‘White’ and ‘Hispanic’ in the ethnicity column.

I couldn’t agree with you more. The “average” voter will blithely accept the media’s Trump narrative. No matter what DJT does or says will be presented as evil personified. Very, very sad.

The media has dropped all pretense of impartiality
With Trump’s chances looking better, the MSM is going to become totally unhinged. We’ve yet to see the full ferocity of the attacks they’ll unleash if a Trump victory is in sight.
As Steve says, the MSM and company have a tendency to project their own wishes onto those they hate.
Media reports now identify the Philadelphia wannabe cop killer as Nicholas Glenn, with no mention of race or ethnicity. I assume he's black, because there's no mention of his race or ethnicity. If so, no reason for the White House to get involved in a purely local matter, or for this story to persist beyond a single news cycle. If he's white, the President and Clinton can hold a joint press conference to call for a double-ban on Confederate flags, or something.
Obama spoke stupidly about the Skip Gates kerfuffle in Cambridge that led to the Beer Summit. He neglected to be a leader on urban violence matters several times since then and that resulted in numerous deaths. His national blathering stirred up local animosities that led to a lot of killing. Obama’s community organizing didn’t look at the impacts on the whole community.
One day someone's going to write a good essay on that word. "Community"- what does that really mean? People use the term pretty indiscriminately, particularly when the term can be used in a nebulous sense where it can mean anything or nothing.
The Black Community is like that. Power and responsibility is everywhere and nowhere. Most of the time, it's supposed to have agency at all- the "black bodies" thing. If someone were to be learning English inductively from context, community would mean something like "amorphous parallel society to the polity", or "temporary gathering of grievance". It just appears for a while for media or funds distribution (or rather, its spokesmen do), then it recedes into the silent minority.
This intersectionality stuff is just the latest spin: assigning power relationships are now so externalized to non-state actors (businesses, races, mentalities, and "cultures") that this country is truly living out French Deconstruction in real time.
Since old and newly minted "communities" aren't assigned real responsibility (Detroit, ad hoc acronym groups), their social function is to search for fresh oppressors to confront. As Anti Gnostic has pointed out, vague dislocations of power and responsibility increasingly turn up in jurisprudence beyond the usual class action lawsuits. Open borders, identity politics, and runaway notions of positive right now lend themselves to where anybody from anywhere can blame anyone for anything.
In as much as Trump could usher in the rebirth of confidence of White America I am sure that there will be forces who want to get rid of him.

Thing is, MSM has already gone full retard on Trump.
If they coulda nuked him from orbit with some salacious stuff, they would have done it already.
They don’t have a bigger gun. Basically, they keep doing 9mm mag dumps into a T-800 and reloading.
Every time I’m forced to watch CNN at the doctor’s office or oil change place I can’t help thinking I’m watching the real world equivalent of Hicks in Alien firing wildly and screaming:”Game over, man. Game over.”
Hillary Clinton is no Sarah Connor/Ripley.
For federal crime stats, the single worst issue is that some cities use a "white" and "hispanic" catagories and fail to put hispanics into the hispanic one. This gets put into federal stats and distorts national figures.
“This is just too general. In Census statistics, Hispanics are certainly not 93% white. More like 40% in California, less somewhere like NYC that has Dominicans.”
Do you really believe 40 percent of Hispanics in California are White? Not even Mexico itself is anywhere near 40 percent White and the vast majority of Hispanics in California are Mexican.
Unless you believe Mexico is disproportionately sending us their Whitest citizens like Cuba has done. If that were the case than Mexicans in California would be disproportionately overrepresented among the state’s upper middle class population. After all Cubans make up a sizable number of Miami’s upper middle class population.
I'd say about 10% or so of people in California with Spanish surnames look fully European. Many of them are descended from people who fled Franco or Castro. I'd say maybe 4% of Mexican immigrants look fully European, compared to more like 20% of the population around Mexico City and Monterrey.
Here are some pictures of middle class Mexicans in northern Mexico:

Not many Mexican immigrants look that pale or have non-black hair. Likewise, Mexican indians tend to be very short and chubby, often dress differently, and are about a quarter of the population, but I rarely see Mexican immigrants who like like them.
We know that black males and females whose race was identified are responsible for over 50% of nation's homicides. But there's a huge problem with official assessments and conclusions about trends in violence based on national statistics published annually in the FBI's UCR.
In federal statistics an overwhelming majority of the U.S. Hispanic population is classified as White (93%), whereas 4% of Hispanics are considered Black. Also crime-reporting programs typically record Hispanic arrests as White arrestees, failing to separate ethnicity from race - in particular, failing to separate Hispanics from non-Hispanic Whites. This does not only limit understanding of ethnic involvement but also hides the true disparity between White-Black crime rates (when ethnicity is NOT considered the disparity between the two races is less extreme) and tends to inflate White rates and deflate Black rates. It is called the "Hispanic effect".
After creating estimates of "clean" White and "clean" Black arrest counts that do not include Hispanics, Steffensmeier et al. discovered that the Black share of violent crime was enlarged from 51% to 64% for homicide category and from 59% to 70% for robbery. As far as ratios are concerned, the average Black–White ratio for homicide was 7:1 using official FBI's figures and jumped to almost 12:1 after adjusting (after separating Hispanics from non-Hispanic Whites). Same for robbery: ratio jumped from 10:1 to 15:1.
64%!
In essence, classifying Hispanic arrestees with Whites (or Blacks) deflates the Black fraction of arrests and deflates the Black–White arrest rate ratio, particularly for the more reliably reported offenses of homicide and robbery.
“In federal statistics an overwhelming majority of the U.S. Hispanic population is classified as White (93%),”
And Hispanic thugs in The U.S rarely look like Conquistadors. I remember VDare posted a picture of a Hispanic criminal in Wisconisin who was classified as White by law enforcement even though he looks like Black Panamanian Juan Williams doppelgänger, which means he looks even less White than George Zimmerman. How the hell does someone who looks like Juan Williams get classified as White in mostly Scandinavian and German Wisconsin? It doesn’t get any Whiter than than Scandinavians and Germans. You would think the criteria for being White in Wisconsin would be a lot more strict.
“Or did he just stop holding rallies in places like San Jose, California, where the police chief and the mayor are La Raza types, and the white population is badly dwindled and cowed?”
When I was at a Trump rally in Sacramento we didn’t run into the same problems that occurred in San Jose. Maybe Sacramento is California in name only. Sac and it’s suburbs do not seem to be as Far Left as the rest of the state. It’s one of the few places in California where you do not have to stay in the closet if you are a Conservative.
Media reports now identify the Philadelphia wannabe cop killer as Nicholas Glenn, with no mention of race or ethnicity. I assume he's black, because there's no mention of his race or ethnicity. If so, no reason for the White House to get involved in a purely local matter, or for this story to persist beyond a single news cycle. If he's white, the President and Clinton can hold a joint press conference to call for a double-ban on Confederate flags, or something.
“Media reports now identify the Philadelphia wannabe cop killer as Nicholas Glenn, with no mention of race or ethnicity. I assume he’s black, because there’s no mention of his race or ethnicity.”
The fact that this occurred in Philadelphia is already a dead giveaway that the cop killer is a Negro. Philadelphia is the Chicago and Baltimore of Pennsylvania.
Earlier this week, I was stunned to read an article by Paul Krugman, a Nobel prize-winner, in which he claimed to be amazed by the total media bias against Hillary Clinton. Is he kidding?
Last night, I was watched Rachel Maddow leave all reason behind in an all-out effort against Trump. Her rant ended with her describing The Donald as a dangerous racist anti-Semite white supremacist, ending with “Be afraid. Be very afraid.”
I’ve never seen anything like it.
The media has tried Trump and found him guilty, and they are practically begging for someone to do the necessary deed and assassinate Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is an anti-Semite? His close Jewish friend Boris Epshteyn will disagree with this.
If they coulda nuked him from orbit with some salacious stuff, they would have done it already.
They don't have a bigger gun. Basically, they keep doing 9mm mag dumps into a T-800 and reloading.

That’s Hudson. (But I like the analogy).
I believe that about 15 years ago Trump had a concealed carry permit in NYC, along with WFB, Robert De Niro, and Buddy Hackett.
In classic Simpsons terms, this is all very Lisa the Vegetarian:
[school playground]
Janey: “Are you going to marry a carrot, Lisa?”
Lisa: [sarcastically] “Yes, I’m going to marry a carrot.”
Sherri and Terri: “Ooh! She admitted it. She’s going to marry a carrot!”
Her immigration policies will destroy the Second Amendment, which was written for white men by white men, and based on common law, i.e., the traditional rights of Englishmen.
If she thinks “people of color” should be disarmed, well, the Founding Fathers are fully on board with her. But she should be forced to say why.
Dissenting, Judge Callahan, joined by Judge Silverman as to all parts except section IV, by Judge Bea, and by Judge N.R. Smith as to all parts except section II.B, stated that in the context of present-day California law, the defendant counties’ limited licensing of the right to carry concealed firearms is tantamount to a total ban on the right of an ordinary citizen to carry a firearm in public for self-defense. Thus, plaintiffs’ Second Amendment rights have been violated.

Those forces are just as white as Trump. Never forget that.

They don't see themselves as white.
Obama’s community organizing didn’t look at the impacts on the whole community.
One day someone’s going to write a good essay on that word. “Community”- what does that really mean? People use the term pretty indiscriminately, particularly when the term can be used in a nebulous sense where it can mean anything or nothing.
The Black Community is like that. Power and responsibility is everywhere and nowhere. Most of the time, it’s supposed to have agency at all- the “black bodies” thing. If someone were to be learning English inductively from context, community would mean something like “amorphous parallel society to the polity”, or “temporary gathering of grievance”. It just appears for a while for media or funds distribution (or rather, its spokesmen do), then it recedes into the silent minority.
This intersectionality stuff is just the latest spin: assigning power relationships are now so externalized to non-state actors (businesses, races, mentalities, and “cultures”) that this country is truly living out French Deconstruction in real time.
Since old and newly minted “communities” aren’t assigned real responsibility (Detroit, ad hoc acronym groups), their social function is to search for fresh oppressors to confront. As Anti Gnostic has pointed out, vague dislocations of power and responsibility increasingly turn up in jurisprudence beyond the usual class action lawsuits. Open borders, identity politics, and runaway notions of positive right now lend themselves to where anybody from anywhere can blame anyone for anything.
Are you referring to these?

Back to the Birther issue.
If one reads the Kenyan Constitution then it’s clear that Barry the Kenyan is Kenyan because his putative father was.
No provision for renouncing this citizenship is mentioned.
This means he could have travelled on a Kenyan passport in college, etc.
http://www.factcheck.org/2008/08/obamas-kenyan-citizenship/
That may be false info, but I haven't looked any further.
I think the NYT’s new slogan is “All the News that Gives Us Fits”.
Given the task by their (((editors))).
I would have bet real money that the Old Gray Hag didn’t even employ three Italian reporters!
Under these classifications, the criminality of "non-Hispanic whites" is speciously and dramatically inflated, intentionally(?), and Mestizos/Amerindians and blacks with Spanish surnames don't commit any crimes statistically.
Racially, the category "Hispanic" causes nothing but confusion and ignorance and should be abolished.
Some of the crime statistic categorization of Hispanics as whites is left over from postwar efforts by LULAC that got the 1950 and 1960 Census to drop any category breaking out Hispanics separately from whites.
Another issue is that witness reports can be vague on differences among non-blacks. I once walked around a neighborhood a couple of times and it took until my second walk to realize the neighbors I assumed were Mexican were actually Armenians. Joseph Wambaugh LAPD novels are full of “ambiguously Hispanic” characters: a blond guy whose Mexican mom cheated on his Mexican dad with a Swede, an Arab who looks kind of Latin at night, etc. etc.
So a lot of police departments fifty years ago didn’t try that hard to break apart people who were at least sort of white. They had the “Caucasian” term which worked well to cover Armenians and Arabs, and most Mexicans were part white, perhaps more so than today.
On the other hand, the black vs. non-black distinction is clearer to witnesses in the dark.
The only thing Armenians and Mexicans on average have in common is black hair. But facial feature wise Armenians look closer to Jews, Arabs, and Southern Europeans than they do to New World Mexican Amerindians and Mestizos.
I've never seen Armenian that looks like former United States attorney general Alberto Gonzales for example. Armenians tend to look more like The Tsarnaev Brothers. Would you mistake The Tsarnaev Brothers for Amerindians or Mestizos? The Caucasus Region phenotype is quite distinct from the New World Mixed Race phenotype.
50 years ago we used the race classifications White or black. We had to write in not Asian but Chinese Japanese Phillipino etc. White had 3 boxes to check for complexion, fair, ruddy or Latin
But there were few criminals that were not black.
“So it’s time for some self-analysis and self-restraint on the part of the press before somebody gets killed.”
The press would love to see him get killed. That is like saying drivers at the Indy 500 should go slower otherwise someone could get killed.
The Left is full of loonies (usually Gay weirdos) who would love to assassinate someone who's "Just like Hitler".
The good news is that the most triggered SJWs tend not to be all that competent with guns.
OT, just saw a commercial for Pitch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_(TV_series) . A racially ambiguous woman becomes a pitcher for the Padres. The series is officially associated with MLB.
Except the “right-wing anti-immigrant press.” has about 2% of the reach of the “left-wing” press. Assuming it exists in Norway – at all.
In the USA pretty much every single major city newspaper, national news magazine, and TV network – except maybe Fox – is anti-trump and pro-immigrant.
On the internet, even supposedly “conservative” places like NRO, Hot Air, and the weekly standard are either anti-Trump or lukewarm.
Meanwhile, Left-wing sites are pumping out “Hate Trump” propaganda 24/7.
So Steve, if Trump does get the Fortuyn treatment are you going to double down on the boomer “gee golly they’re just misunderstood!” Boomer view of the Left or understand that they are indeed evil, viscious people?

Kind of like domestic islamic terror attacks. The Clinton campaign claims that Trump is in cahoots with Putin to sabotage her campaign. I wonder if she is projecting her ISIS cahoots instead.
Here’s your answer:
My sister-in-law compared Trump to Hitler. In a perfectly normal tone of voice (honestly) I asked her "Why?" and "How are they alike?".
Now I asked this as one who began reading about WW2, WW1, The Third Reich, the Weimar Republic etc. 45 years ago and I was genuinely curious about her thought forms--how she makes the connection in her mind, what parallels she would draw.
In a huff she just said, "Do you read the Economist?". And that was the end of our conversation.
(As a matter of fact, I used to read the Economist, but gave it up for real books about economics written by economists, but that's beside the point.)
As far as she was concerned, there was nothing to discuss. And this is a woman with an advanced degree in STEM from Stanford. If a person with these credentials is intolerant and frankly, ignorant, then what can we expect from the rank and file Anthropology and Poly Sci majors? Death Wish.
I used to read the Economist weekly up until about 8-10 years ago. One reason I cannot stomach it anymore is that I got very interested in immigration as a subject. The better informed I became, the more I realized that their coverage is nothing more than just raw propaganda. It is more than just a difference of opinion. Their coverage regarding it is so bad that it made me seriously question the rest of their articles.
It would behoove Trump to neutralize the rally protestors with humor rather than aggressive rhetoric.
Margaret Thatcher knew how to do it:
I subscribed to The Economist in the 1980s. I enjoyed it’s authoritative-sounding coverage of Nepal and Botswana but noticed that it’s coverage of American domestic issues I was familiar with was slap-dash. So maybe it wasn’t so all-knowing about Nepal and Botswana either?
On the other hand, the 20 page “surveys” on a single topic in the middle of each issue were impressive.
The Economist starts out really impressive when you subscribe, but after a few years you can start to figure out its shortcuts and tricks. These are not unreasonable things it does to provide such a broad range of coverage, so I don’t hold it against it, but I’m not quite the same naive American overwhelmed by wily Fleet Street traditions and Oxford PP&E degree panache as I used to be.
Every article ends with the same prescription, "India should be less corrupt, provide better governance, and eliminate case/religion-based divisions." Thanks for the heads up.
Unfortunately many of their readers don't know more about any single topic, and so the scam goes on.
Now, 'news' media (in whatever forum) is primarily concerned with entertainment (pop culture and personalities) and/or politics (progressive left)--the reigning zeitgeist. Any political deviation is shunned as extremist (reactionary, radical).
The format is commentary, not reporting--staying informed means to know the correct opinions, rather than be well-informed of the underlying story or event.
The Economist has succumbed to this trend, as others before them have.
I can’t see anyone going after Buddy Hackett. How about Larry Storch, did he get a concealed carry gun permit too?
We need him safe. We can do the rest.
“In justifying his remarks, Mr. Trump falsely claimed that Mrs. Clinton wants to “destroy your Second Amendment,” apparently a reference to her gun control policies.”
The Grey Lady has dropped any and all pretense of objectivity, as this editorialized statement of “falsely” is intended to take Trump’s words – hyperbole, to be sure, but clearly within the realm of OPINION – and declare them deceptive or inaccurate!
Competing opinions are what campaigns are all about, of course, and to single out this statement and breezily declare it “false” in a straight-news piece rather than in an editorial or op-ed is all anyone needs, in my view, to stop thinking the NYT is anything but a propaganda rag.

True dat. I had this woman hit me up online. She then asked if the hat in one of my pictures was an NRA hat. I said yes and she un-matched me, which was fine with me.
The Economist covers India intensively and I noticed the same trick.
Every article ends with the same prescription, “India should be less corrupt, provide better governance, and eliminate case/religion-based divisions.” Thanks for the heads up.
It seems that new memo has gone out since the Hillary setbacks last week. The press has escalated to Code Red.
On CNN they used the line ‘Trump falsely claimed…’ repeatedly in relation to the birther snafu.
Maybe they have installed new software for instant fact checking. The software is so powerful it can do forensic investigation in real time. They interviewed Van Jones and he was more circumspect than newsreader, making at least a passing reference to the evidence.
Liberal intellectuals think Trump’s base consists of foaming at the mouth racists who can go off at any minute & take his rhetoric literally. It’s why you saw them helpfully explaining that the Tea Party=govt. hostage-takers talking point was meant metaphorically — their base is much more urbane and sophisticated you see, so they’re allowed to use strident rhetoric that Republicans aren’t.
I know that. And you know that.
But just for the hell of it, I googled “constitutional law scholar Obama” this morning and sure enough, that’s how some of the reputable press descriibed him.
Sickening, isn’t it?

The irony here is that these urban white liberals who compare Trump to Hitler are as brainwashed as the Hitler Youth graduates of the 30s and 40s. However instead of hating Jews and Slavs, their amgydalas go into overdrive everytime they here someone criticising immigrants and minorities.
Lol! Sorry, I couldn’t resist having some fun with the pompous and disingenuous way Obama and his many sycophants described his less than illustrious law career.
I myself usually describe him as a “community organizer/asbestos remover”.

AP did the same thing today, about (I think) some other issue. Pure opinion, the first two paragraphs were pure smear.
In her debates with Bernie Sanders, Hillary repeatedly said that anyone who was harmed by someone with a gun should have the right to sue the manufacturer of the gun. In other words, let’s quickly put all gun manufacturers out of business.
What’s funny is that back in her 2007-8 campaign Hillary insisted she was pro-Second Amendment and talked about her duck hunting experience, which was as convincing as her dodging sniper fire experience.
While I object to that, I do think that anybody who is harmed by a thug introduced into their neighborhood via Section 8 should be able to sue HUD, and that anyone harmed by an illegal alien should be able to sue the federal government for failure to police the border.
The final deal killer. A 19 year old involved confessed and also blamed the kid, with the caveat that he thought the police would only tase the kid.
It's incredible difficult to find police killing a black person that is sympathetic. That is another source of rage.
In this case, I think it is a loser as an example of anything. As far as the 13 year old Honor Student in a STEM magnet school ... well, that's no going anywhere. But as far as the 13 year old being a super predator .... I think it is very, very likely that someone in the group robbery ordered the 13 year old to hold the gun. Before, during, or after the robbery.
As if anyone gives a fuck what Trump thinks about birtherism, a lot of people would care if Clinton had to take a position on BLM. Last year, the final 2014 crime statistics ... FBI Uniform Crime Report was released in the last week of September. Look for the 2015 final report soon -- and we know what it will show.
And here’s Salon preemptively minimizing the upcoming crime stats release:
http://www.salon.com/2016/09/14/beware-the-murder-stats-why-the-right-will-use-them-to-smear-black-lives-matter-and-how-the-left-can-fight-back/
Or, once the above has been been pointed out to them, the press could attempt to cover for themselves by saying, "No, we don't believe any such thing [i.e. that arms make people safer], but it's just the sort of thing that that gun-loving scoundrel Trump would believe, so from his point of view it's still an attack on Hillary." But in this case their claim that guns don't actually make people safer obviates any reason they might have for opposing the suggestion that Hillary's bodyguards disarm.
Either way they're being ridiculous and scurrilous, and you'll find that a similar analysis can be applied to every position taken up by a committed Leftist. Rationality plays no part in anything they do; it's all Who?-Whom? with them anyway, nothing but pure acts of personal destruction.
The press themselves are too dimwitted to realize this. They are largely unaware of the role they play in the whole political theater. Like the mobs in the Roman Colosseum, they get off on the violence of the spectacle and are insensible of the extent to which their own cheering and jeering is a part of the spectacle.
I think it is hoping for too much to ask them to control themselves. Like any mob, they need to be controlled by a higher authority. Trump has already proven that he can troll and misdirect and schlong the media at whim, so perhaps he already has them right where he wants them. He truly is a great man for these times we live in.
As for the more theoretical point at hand, viz. the vaunted freedom of the press, we see now that, like all the so-called freedoms of Classical Liberalism, it is really just anarchy in germ. Free speech, of which freedom of the press is a derivative, is the very first thing that the Who-Whomers insist upon, for they know that with this firmly in hand they have a weapon wherewith to wage the rest of the battle. They demand this ladder be extended to them to lift them out of the powerless pit they occupy. Once ascended, they kick it down again---"freedom for me but not for thee."
Unlike the right to self-defense, which derives from the Natural Law and is thus inalienable, there is no natural human right to freedom of speech. One is not "free" to think, believe, or say things that aren't true. "Error has no rights" is the old Catholic formulation. The whole raft of First Amendment guarantees is actually not something that a Traditional Conservative should endorse or defend. The very existence of an enormous, agitating press corps of the sort we have today is like an aneurysm of error ready to blow. The social mood will change, and when it does the press will find themselves bereft of the legitimacy and authority they once exploited.
It is not platforms, slogans, or ideologies, but truth which endures. The power to speak is granted us that we may proclaim truth, approve truth, adore truth, which of course includes condemning error. Anyone who remains pertinacious in error, as our press most assuredly does, has already deprived himself ipso facto of the "right to speak" and it belongs to the ministers of justice to enforce the verdict of nature by taking from him his power to speak. The press, the lying press, must be silenced and punished. I think Trump is already on the right track with them.
The problem with freedom of speech in an ultra liberal society is that it’s based solely on individual rights. Therefore if someone says something that promotes majority rights at the expense of individual rights, then the liberal authorities have a right to censor them.
Freedom of speech should be based on pragmatism, not individual rights. We need freedom of speech because we don’t want a society full of yes men that will only tell those in power what they want to here – freedom of speech is good because it helps us spot problems with the system and helps us come up with solutions to these problems.
Yeah this is not what I’m seeing from undecideds IRL or online at all. It would also be historically unusual for them all to go for the sickly person who can’t talk or stand upright for more than ten minutes a pop.
But I think part of the problem is that the Left has advanced a good deal towards a complete takeover of elite universities and media sources.
There is no “I think” on this. It is true! The press and out universities used to be more centrist. The NY Times news pages were the news without non-stop leftist slants. If Hillary gets elected, if she has any brains she will find a way to restrict right wing free speech on the internet. To make it dangerous and not worth it. That you will get doxxed etc.
What's funny is that back in her 2007-8 campaign Hillary insisted she was pro-Second Amendment and talked about her duck hunting experience, which was as convincing as her dodging sniper fire experience.
“In her debates with Bernie Sanders, Hillary repeatedly said that anyone who was harmed by someone with a gun should have the right to sue the manufacturer of the gun.”
While I object to that, I do think that anybody who is harmed by a thug introduced into their neighborhood via Section 8 should be able to sue HUD, and that anyone harmed by an illegal alien should be able to sue the federal government for failure to police the border.
Got you on that. Thanks! Gambling, owing money on your gambling.
The Cambridge incident was an eye opener for me. That was in the summer of 2009. I detested McCain so much that I really didn’t mind the B.O. victory but then he had to make a statement on every “racial” incident that came along. Of course his biggest gaffe was the “if I had a son” statement about Trayvon (“No Limit N-Word” – his Twitter handle) Martin.

Immigration’s $60 Billion School Bill
Brendan Kirby, Lifezette, September 16, 2016
The rising number of schoolchildren with little or no proficiency in English is imposing steep costs–both fiscal and in terms of student performance. That’s according to a new study by a Washington think tank that favors lower immigration levels.
The study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform calculates that some 4.9 million students–about 1 in 10–have been designated as Limited English Proficiency, or LEP. The costs of educating them is $59.8 billion a year, including $43.9 billion for the 2.6 million who came to the country illegally. The per-student cost of $12,128 is about 20 percent higher than the average cost of educating all students.
The additional costs come from salaries, benefits, and training for thousands of LEP teachers, tutoring, bilingual textbooks, and other spending. Virtually all of the costs of providing LEP services–some 99 percent–are borne by state and local taxpayers.
{snip}
Because immigrants and their children are clustered in a handful of states, some school systems bear a disproportionate share of the overall cost. Thirteen states spent more than $1 billion on LEP programs in 2016, with California, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, and Washington spending the most. Almost 10 percent of the states serve more than 100,000 LEP students, and 22 educate more than 50,000, according to the report.
{snip}
While LEP students make up about 10 percent of the total in all grades, it is 17.4 percent in kindergarten. The study notes that the Department of Education determined in 2013 that the United States will need 82,408 new LEP teachers by 2018. Only about 10 percent of teachers currently are certified to teach English as a Second Language.
{snip}
The study documents tight school budgets and painful spending cuts that school systems have made–many of the same systems are experiencing increasing costs for LEP programs. Chicago school officials, for instance, are preparing for teacher layoffs and bigger classes triggered by cuts exceeding 20 percent. The average property tax bill also jumped 13 percent over the previous year.
At the same time, Illinois will have to nearly triple its budget for its 186,646 LEP students to $1.9 billion, according to the study.
In Boston, where thousands of high school students staged a walkout to protest budget cuts, a third of all pupils are in LEP programs. LEP students make up 20 percent of the enrollment in Lexington, Nebraska, a city with a large meat-packing industry in the western part of the state.
Despite the extra help, LEP students typically perform below grade level. The report cites data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress indicating that 7 percent of fourth-grade LEP students scored at the “proficient” level, while just 1 percent showed the ability to master advanced work. Non-LEP fourth-graders achieved one of the two highest levels on the NAEP.
Even worse is that the Hispanic LEP kids are mostly Indians with IQs in the 80s.
They are entitled to affirmative action college admissions and government jobs when they grow up.

Would you mistake The Tsarnaev Brothers for Amerindians or Mestizos? The Caucasus Region phenotype is quite distinct from the New World Mixed Race phenotype.
Also I have the impression that the Caucasus region not only has a very high level of linguistic diversity but a lot of diversity concerning facial feature, too.
Maybe I am wrong, but I think I can easily tell e.g. Georgians apart from Armenians. Especially since Georgians often have very special facial features, which is fascinating when one keeps in mind what a tiny country it is.
Do you really believe 40 percent of Hispanics in California are White? Not even Mexico itself is anywhere near 40 percent White and the vast majority of Hispanics in California are Mexican.
Unless you believe Mexico is disproportionately sending us their Whitest citizens like Cuba has done. If that were the case than Mexicans in California would be disproportionately overrepresented among the state's upper middle class population. After all Cubans make up a sizable number of Miami's upper middle class population.
Actually I got the number a bit low, about 53% of hispanics in the USA state their race as white, with a large number also saying “some other race” or “two or more races” and a much smaller number saying “black.” California has very few black hispanics, so the “white hispanic” number is probably higher.
I’d say about 10% or so of people in California with Spanish surnames look fully European. Many of them are descended from people who fled Franco or Castro. I’d say maybe 4% of Mexican immigrants look fully European, compared to more like 20% of the population around Mexico City and Monterrey.
Among Mexicans I've met in California who can pass for White, the vast majority of them have at least one White Gringo parent and are not the off spring of 2 Mexican parents.
There is not a lot of fully Mexican people in California who can pass for White. The ones who can pass for White tend to be half or even only a quarter Mexican 9 times out of 10.
If you look at the Mexican Americans in entertainment and politics who are White passing like Eric Garcetti, Lynda Carter, Linda Ronstadt, Sam Liccardo, Hayley Orrantia, John Gavin, etc none of them have 2 Mexican parents.
If you look at Mexican Americans in entertainment and politics who are the off spring of 2 Mexican parents, on average they look significantly less White than the people I mentioned above. When you get into 2 Mexican parents you get Alberto Gonzales, Michael Pena, Julian Castro, Rey Mysterio Jr., etc where the Amerindian physical features are much more obvious.
The irony was, of course, that Mexico's best President was probably Benito Juarez, a full-blooded Indian. He was popular with the white elite and considered competent by all parties:his fame was such that in Italy, a boy born in 1883 would be named after him and become to this day one of the most famous Italian leaders of all time, if an unsuccessful one ultimately:Benito Mussolini.
Diaz, a mestizo, or what was more precisely known as a "castizo", was a failed president whose regime was destructive and he wound up in exile in France, where he died.
Most Mexican presidents of modern times have been white or nearly white.
It was a part time associate instructor type job. He taught a couple hours a week
His handlers arranged it so he could put it in his resume when he ran for office. He had a Dunham great uncle who was a librarian at university of Chicago for many years. Like the Dunham mother and grandparents the great uncle was a hard leftist.

No, Mexico sends us mestizos in much higher proportion than its own population, with white and indians much less likely.
Here are some pictures of middle class Mexicans in northern Mexico:

Not many Mexican immigrants look that pale or have non-black hair. Likewise, Mexican indians tend to be very short and chubby, often dress differently, and are about a quarter of the population, but I rarely see Mexican immigrants who like like them.
The VP candidates are more important than usual this time round.
Hillary’s health problems give a higher than usual chance that, if she wins, she will die of natural causes while in office.
Trump has not been bought by Wall Street, Big Oil, or the Military-Industrial Complex. If he wins, and moves against any of these powerful interests, he might well be assassinated.
TPTB hate him because he's sceptical on the subject of free trade and for the reasons you've mentioned. That's why he's seen as a threat to the billionaire class and to those who rely on patronage from the billionaire class.
“The Economist covers India intensively and I noticed the same trick.
…“India should be less corrupt, provide better governance, and eliminate case/religion-based divisions.””
and
“The Economist starts out really impressive when you subscribe, but after a few years you can start to figure out its shortcuts and tricks.”
Though a few decades older than the Fabian Society, the Economist seems to have been intellectually taken over by the Fabians a long time ago. It probably didn’t hurt that the Fabians established LSE, the London School of Economics and Political Science, which has become one of the worlds leading centers of PC thought:
A good part of The Economist’s shtick is that it writes as if its readers are intelligent adults, even though its politics, minus that polish, often seem childish and clearly Fabian.
Amazing that you mistook Armenians for Mexicans Armenians are White and not all are dark. Mexicans in America are Indian or mostly Indian Plus Indian Mexicans are very short, like 4ft7 women and 4ft11 men if they are Mayan, Mixtec or from the jungles of S Mexico
50 years ago we used the race classifications White or black. We had to write in not Asian but Chinese Japanese Phillipino etc. White had 3 boxes to check for complexion, fair, ruddy or Latin
But there were few criminals that were not black.
The problem is that there are now plenty of SJWs with more cash than scruples, and there have always been plenty of people with neither who know their way around a gun.
True. But my observation is that SJWs are scared s***less of guns and getting mixed up with violent felonies. They really are gutless wonders. I have a hard time visualizing one hiring a hit man to assassinate Trump.
If course I realize that it would only take one.
LOL

Sarah Jane Moore.
If one reads the Kenyan Constitution then it's clear that Barry the Kenyan is Kenyan because his putative father was.
No provision for renouncing this citizenship is mentioned.
According to factcheck.org (which I believe is biased) there is no provision for dual citizenship for adults in Kenya, so Obama lost his Kenyan citizenship when he was 23, in 1984.
This means he could have travelled on a Kenyan passport in college, etc.
http://www.factcheck.org/2008/08/obamas-kenyan-citizenship/
That may be false info, but I haven’t looked any further.
VVIPs today are incredibly well protected-Presidents, and candidates like Trump who are billionaires with ex-SS massive security details. Assassination attempts by nutcases are very unlikely to succeed, although chance favors the daring.
But encouraging unhinged people to think like this is a very bad idea for anyone “in the system”. Liberals in particular are well advised “not to go there”, because for every leftist that would dream of such a thing, there are several on the other side who have kicked the notion over as well. And generally they are more familiar with firearms, more likely to be ex-military or even ex-LE.
Even would be revolutionaries would be very smart to discourage assassination attempts against elected officials, unless they are pure nihilists just against order of any kind. The IRA’s best move, in retrospect-although the execution was unprofessional and resulted in collateral deaths for which they were rightly detested-was, however much we may have admired the man ourselves, nailing Mountbatten. He was an officer in commission of a State the IRA regarded itself as a legitimate belligerent against, and therefore a fair target. If they’d blown up HM the Queen herself, the reaction would have been virtually unlimited and world opinion would have supported anything Britain did. As it was, people said it was bad, but that’s how things go.
The IRA didn’t win outright, but they were bought off, rather than stamped out. And they moved the line of scrimmage far closer to the eventual goal-when Britain gets browned up enough, they’ll give up the northern counties. Of course Eire will also be browned up too, but the IRA doesn’t care.
The press isn’t about to stop it’s over the top demonization of Trump and about the only thing they haven’t labeled him is the Spawn of Cthulu.
Why? Because their owners are part of the globalist club and stand to lose a lot of money and influence if Trump wins.
Not to mention that a Trump victory could potentially rollback 25 years worth of previous presidential efforts at promoting globalization and the dismantling of America.
They want something bad to happen to Trump.
What concerns me isn’t so much of them sending a RPG at Trump is that they’ll go the soft approach and do a mini-crash of the stock market should he win to terrorize voters into stopping agenda.
In late summer, Trump seemed to be telegraphing a sense of resignation at the prospect of a loss in a "rigged system." But then, Trump's native desire for victory was reinvigorated with the hiring of Conway and Bannon. I wonder whether they impressed upon Trump that losing to people like the Clintons would never be just a one-time thing: that once in office a President Clinton and her allies in the culture would mythologize Trump as the American Hitler, from whom the country was saved by the election of the first woman president. It would be a replay of Obama's "blame Bush" antics, but magnified in order to make the lackluster Hillary seem to shine brighter. A defeated Trump would not be allowed to return to his former life, but his very name--the name his children share--would be made a deplorable word, so that "history" would never forget how Hillary had saved America from the dark angels of its worst nature.
By advancing the vivid word "deplorable," I suspect Hillary was laying a marker intended to resonate beyond November, to the two-minute-hates that would justify her presidency. It backfired--in part, perhaps, because Trump now grasps that against such venal opponents, the only way to rescue his name in history is to win the presidency outright.
Let's help him do it.
Very insightful comment. Totally convincing.
That old grey mare is getting bold now that it has a sugar daddy, but its questionable how long the money will flow if Hillary does steal this election. Most of the media has turned straight into a giant octopus version of Pravda. Its propaganda and lies are just getting more and more obvious by the day. Samizdat has already happened on the Web, but I suppose when you write hatchet jobs aimed at political opponents you might suppose you will get paid after the election to prop up the government. How many Pravdas do you need to tell the same lies? Without a Trump and with spineless RINOs like Ryan, probably not a lot. How much thought happens in these dreary dens of poison pens? Do they realize Trump might pay their salaries for four years at least?
This means he could have travelled on a Kenyan passport in college, etc.

That may be false info, but I haven't looked any further.
Also, this may have been a reason for John Brennan’s company, Analysis Corp., to access Obama’s passport files before he was president.
Who knows what happened with the passport file.
No one can argue that Obama did appoint him to chief of the CIA a little later though.

For Trump’s safety, I’m hoping Gersh Kuntzman is representative of the anti-Trumpers.
OT, just saw a commercial for Pitch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_(TV_series) . A racially ambiguous woman becomes a pitcher for the Padres. The series is officially associated with MLB.
I really hope that the shooting of cops in Philadephia, and the bombings in NY and NJ, and the stabbings in MN, don’t dissuade our valiant press from covering Trump’s crazy hypothetical about whether Hillary would like to take the risk of not having guns protecting her, and reporting on Trump’s history of birtherism.
Because you can’t lose the forest for the trees here.
Terrorism is normal. Trump is f*cking dangerous.

But Mexicans who own houses in a decent neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley tend to be 3rd generation Chicanos from Northern Mexico, who are taller and fairer than recent immigrants from Mexico.
I've been to The San Fernando Valley many times and I've never mistaken a Mexican there for someone from Caucasia which includes Georgia, Iran, Armenia, Chechnya, etc. When you mix Spanish + Amerindian the result is not going to be Borat looking.
The Mexicans I saw in The Valley all look stereotypically Mexican.
It’s important to remember that the anti-Trump hysteria has nothing to do with his immigration policies. Trump is reliably pro-immigration. It also has nothing to do with his anti-liberal stances because he’s a reliable liberal.
TPTB hate him because he’s sceptical on the subject of free trade and for the reasons you’ve mentioned. That’s why he’s seen as a threat to the billionaire class and to those who rely on patronage from the billionaire class.
Considering that "somebody" would almost certainly be Trump, I'm worried.
Otherwise I really don't give a flip. I'm armed and live in an extremely low crime area. (Need I add it was even lower crime when it was whiter?) My friends are mostly the same. I'm not overly concerned about people who don't take sensible precautions.
We have a mulatto POTUS whose language has been almost as racially inflammatory as the press's language is now. That's even more egregious since he's an elected government official and a constitutional law scholar.
The press is no more likely to engage in self-analysis and exercise self-restraint than Obama is to promote racial healing and encourage national unity.
“mulatto POTUS who is a constitutional Law Scholar!” ha ha, Yeah, and plenty of convicts study up on the law while incarcerated but that does not make them a scholar. And he did not study the US Constitution as much as the anti-constitution and what it does not say and how to evade it. Just like the gangs of Chicago hiding from the po-po.

Let’s not assume it is “the other side” that presents the threat. Leftists who are assassinated tend to be assassinated by other Leftists, and revolutions have a habit of eating their own. Ask Marat and Robespierre, Trotsky and Yezhov, Gabby Giffords and Vince Foster, and the Kennedy brothers. Indeed, with the possible exceptions of Mussolini and Franco, when in the last century has the political iRght ever offered any militant resistance to the advancement of the Revolution? Far too infrequently in my opinion, and yet we are accused of doing so all the time. The paranoid fantasies of the Left have often been the best guide to what the Right ought to be doing, but doesn’t.
I'd say about 10% or so of people in California with Spanish surnames look fully European. Many of them are descended from people who fled Franco or Castro. I'd say maybe 4% of Mexican immigrants look fully European, compared to more like 20% of the population around Mexico City and Monterrey.

My great grandmother was from Sonora, a little town near the Arizona border. She married my great grandfather in 1915. He was of English ancestry.

The latest decision from the 9th circuit court of appeals (en banc) is now a huge set back to gun rights…seems your second amendment rights now end at your front door
Dissenting, Judge Callahan, joined by Judge Silverman as to all parts except section IV, by Judge Bea, and by Judge N.R. Smith as to all parts except section II.B, stated that in the context of present-day California law, the defendant counties’ limited licensing of the right to carry concealed firearms is tantamount to a total ban on the right of an ordinary citizen to carry a firearm in public for self-defense. Thus, plaintiffs’ Second Amendment rights have been violated.
https://www.firearmspolicy.org/legal/breaking-ninth-circuit-rules-against-peruta/
That describes my experience, with The Economist and every other newspaper and newsmagazine, to a T.
Unfortunately many of their readers don’t know more about any single topic, and so the scam goes on.
I'd say about 10% or so of people in California with Spanish surnames look fully European. Many of them are descended from people who fled Franco or Castro. I'd say maybe 4% of Mexican immigrants look fully European, compared to more like 20% of the population around Mexico City and Monterrey.
Those who came from Spain itself in the 1600s are, of course, pure European, and there are still some of the old families left. And many Euro-Mexicans came to California in several waves, the last of which was probably the early 1900s. Those with money and who could learn English well had little trouble dealing with legalities, and many saw writing on the wall in the days of Porfirio Diaz.
The irony was, of course, that Mexico’s best President was probably Benito Juarez, a full-blooded Indian. He was popular with the white elite and considered competent by all parties:his fame was such that in Italy, a boy born in 1883 would be named after him and become to this day one of the most famous Italian leaders of all time, if an unsuccessful one ultimately:Benito Mussolini.
Diaz, a mestizo, or what was more precisely known as a “castizo”, was a failed president whose regime was destructive and he wound up in exile in France, where he died.
Most Mexican presidents of modern times have been white or nearly white.
Better go back to the drawing table, the design is a flop.
All the print we can fit.
And the right-wing, anti-immigrant press in Norway is comprised of whom?
Last night, I was watched Rachel Maddow leave all reason behind in an all-out effort against Trump. Her rant ended with her describing The Donald as a dangerous racist anti-Semite white supremacist, ending with "Be afraid. Be very afraid."
I've never seen anything like it.
The media has tried Trump and found him guilty, and they are practically begging for someone to do the necessary deed and assassinate Donald Trump.
How many people watch Rachel Madcow? Her age 25-54 audience is ~150,000–200,000. Unlikely she influencing anyone–she preaching to the choir.
There are old syndication reruns of Seinfeld that get higher ratings than Rachel Madcow's show. Rachel is not a ratings juggernaut. She is extremely overpaid because she gets paid millions of dollars per year to not deliver the ratings goodies to her bosses.
But maybe MSNBC is more in the business of political indoctrination than it is in the business of making a profit. From a capitalist free market standpoint Rachel Madcow is a very bad investment.
Being a “Professional” is a very good touchstone to measure the media by. Whenever a writer talks about your area of expertise it becomes very easy to judge their veracity. I agree to your sentiments about Nepal and Botswana which is one of the things that attracted me to the Economist also. I was reading it purely for enjoyment.

Not to worry. The shootings, bombings and stabbings are Trump’s fault. So our valiant press can just add them to the ever-growing list of reasons why Trump is so dangerous.
The Economist of the ’80s compared quite favorably to what was known in the US as news magazines: Time, Newsweek, US News & World Report, et al. It was well-written and steered clear of fads and fashions.
Now, ‘news’ media (in whatever forum) is primarily concerned with entertainment (pop culture and personalities) and/or politics (progressive left)–the reigning zeitgeist. Any political deviation is shunned as extremist (reactionary, radical).
The format is commentary, not reporting–staying informed means to know the correct opinions, rather than be well-informed of the underlying story or event.
The Economist has succumbed to this trend, as others before them have.
The last time I read Time and US World News, I was sitting in a gynecologist's office waiting for my wife. It was basically one big advertisement selling brand name prescriptions to middle age white women. A fountain of youth for the new age. The magazines will not attract eye balls, and most importantly, the right eye balls by informing its readership of Illegal Aliens and Hillary's coughing fits. The same professional whites who vote for the Democrats are the same ones who buy all the high mark up shit that these magazines depend upon to stay afloat so the suck up factor is unmistakable.

The Grey Lady has dropped any and all pretense of objectivity, as this editorialized statement of "falsely" is intended to take Trump's words - hyperbole, to be sure, but clearly within the realm of OPINION - and declare them deceptive or inaccurate!
Competing opinions are what campaigns are all about, of course, and to single out this statement and breezily declare it "false" in a straight-news piece rather than in an editorial or op-ed is all anyone needs, in my view, to stop thinking the NYT is anything but a propaganda rag.
I stopped buying the NYT during the 2000 campaign–the opinionating in news stories was too much then, and it had been going on for some years then.

News, and to a growing degree commentary, is what fills in the gaps that isn’t filled by advertisements. If a newspaper or magazine could get away with it, their content would 100% ads.

My sister-in-law compared Trump to Hitler. In a perfectly normal tone of voice (honestly) I asked her "Why?" and "How are they alike?".
Now I asked this as one who began reading about WW2, WW1, The Third Reich, the Weimar Republic etc. 45 years ago and I was genuinely curious about her thought forms--how she makes the connection in her mind, what parallels she would draw.
In a huff she just said, "Do you read the Economist?". And that was the end of our conversation.
(As a matter of fact, I used to read the Economist, but gave it up for real books about economics written by economists, but that's beside the point.)
As far as she was concerned, there was nothing to discuss. And this is a woman with an advanced degree in STEM from Stanford. If a person with these credentials is intolerant and frankly, ignorant, then what can we expect from the rank and file Anthropology and Poly Sci majors? Death Wish.
“Most liberals would be perfectly happy if Trump were assassinated.” Yes.
A man I work with, in his seventies, professional degree in an engineering field, expressed the hope that some sharpshooter is honing his skill in order to take Trump out before Election Day. I was shocked and said so. He asked me if it wouldn’t have been a desirable thing for Hitler to have been killed in 1938.
Leftists have lost their reason in this election cycle. I think that after going from victory to victory, they can’t get their minds around the reality that there are large numbers of people who don’t agree with their outlook or policies.
And they’re not used to being laughed at.
“When the big O visited Kenya he dropped off 53 million dollars courtesy of the US taxpayer alleged to be used for voter id. We can only imagine who got all that money.”
Interesting. He sure doesn’t care about voter id in the United States.
The only thing Armenians and Mexicans on average have in common is black hair. But facial feature wise Armenians look closer to Jews, Arabs, and Southern Europeans than they do to New World Mexican Amerindians and Mestizos.
I've never seen Armenian that looks like former United States attorney general Alberto Gonzales for example. Armenians tend to look more like The Tsarnaev Brothers. Would you mistake The Tsarnaev Brothers for Amerindians or Mestizos? The Caucasus Region phenotype is quite distinct from the New World Mixed Race phenotype.

Also I have the impression that the Caucasus region not only has a very high level of linguistic diversity but a lot of diversity concerning facial feature, too.
Maybe I am wrong, but I think I can easily tell e.g. Georgians apart from Armenians. Especially since Georgians often have very special facial features, which is fascinating when one keeps in mind what a tiny country it is.
A great point by Steve Sailer…the one and only assassination attempt thus far has been against TRUMP. Sqeaky Fromme tried to kill Ford 40 years ago. John Hinkley tried to kill Reagan 35 years ago. Everybody knows these facts. And the names of these would be assassins. I wonder if Jake Tapper knows – off the top of his head – the name of the guy who tried to kill Trump just a few months ago.

Rich elites in New York City are themselves armed, and so are Hollywood celebrities/movie industry people who want to be able to defend themselves in their homes. All of those shoot-em-up movies and television shows make them nervous, perhaps.

Sorry but I think they are the same.
I don’t like Fallon but what a great set.
Last night, I was watched Rachel Maddow leave all reason behind in an all-out effort against Trump. Her rant ended with her describing The Donald as a dangerous racist anti-Semite white supremacist, ending with "Be afraid. Be very afraid."
I've never seen anything like it.
The media has tried Trump and found him guilty, and they are practically begging for someone to do the necessary deed and assassinate Donald Trump.
“Last night, I was watched Rachel Maddow leave all reason behind in an all-out effort against Trump. Her rant ended with her describing The Donald as a dangerous racist anti-Semite white supremacist, ending with “Be afraid. Be very afraid.”
Donald Trump is an anti-Semite? His close Jewish friend Boris Epshteyn will disagree with this.
“How many people watch Rachel Madcow? Her age 25-54 audience is ~150,000–200,000. Unlikely she influencing anyone–she preaching to the choir.”
There are old syndication reruns of Seinfeld that get higher ratings than Rachel Madcow’s show. Rachel is not a ratings juggernaut. She is extremely overpaid because she gets paid millions of dollars per year to not deliver the ratings goodies to her bosses.
But maybe MSNBC is more in the business of political indoctrination than it is in the business of making a profit. From a capitalist free market standpoint Rachel Madcow is a very bad investment.
They say it like the Constitution is some esoteric, gnostic text that requires extraordinary study and intelligence to master. In truth, his credential to teach Constitutional Law is the same that every graduate of an accredited Law School has – he passed Con Law 1 and Con Law 2 as a Law Student.
I once saw a picture of some guy carrying an AK-47 slung across his back. It was complete with an evil-looking 30-round magazine.
The guy was clearly an anti-gun ring in because he had jammed the magazine in the wrong way and possibly damaged the mag well. Instead of the banana curving towards the barrel, it curved towards the stock/grip.
It must have taken him some effort but he was clueless.
Except that there isn’t one.
Now, 'news' media (in whatever forum) is primarily concerned with entertainment (pop culture and personalities) and/or politics (progressive left)--the reigning zeitgeist. Any political deviation is shunned as extremist (reactionary, radical).
The format is commentary, not reporting--staying informed means to know the correct opinions, rather than be well-informed of the underlying story or event.
The Economist has succumbed to this trend, as others before them have.

The Brits are by and large scum. Every time one of their subjects commits a serious crime in America, or against America, they throw out the Asperger’s defense. They did it again with the Trump assassin. It worked with McKinnon but not apparently with Lauri Love, who was extradited. Who are they to demand that their criminals serve their time in Britain, especially since in McKinnon’s case, he did no time. Thankfully the little c_nt in Nevada will do 2 hard years alongside MS-13 and the Crips and Bloods. Should be a nice introduction to American society for him.

The irony was, of course, that Mexico's best President was probably Benito Juarez, a full-blooded Indian. He was popular with the white elite and considered competent by all parties:his fame was such that in Italy, a boy born in 1883 would be named after him and become to this day one of the most famous Italian leaders of all time, if an unsuccessful one ultimately:Benito Mussolini.
Diaz, a mestizo, or what was more precisely known as a "castizo", was a failed president whose regime was destructive and he wound up in exile in France, where he died.
Most Mexican presidents of modern times have been white or nearly white.
I disagree that Porfirio Diaz was a bad leader. He modernized the country, brought in large numbers of European immigrants, and presided over very rapid economic growth. I’m not sure there was anything he could have done to prevent the violent revolution that came afterward, it was a revolutionary era elsewhere in the world too.

The Economist started getting popular in America in the 1980s, precisely because TIME and Newsweek had slipped. For three or four decades, TIME magazine had the kind of writing and insight that people in the English-speaking world later turned to The Economist for. Indeed, TIME was far more widely read and more authoritative than The Economist ever got to be.
When I first started reading The Economist in college in the 1970s, hoping to major in economics, it was a dry read. The magazine was best suited to people with some grasp of basic economics and finance, especially fiscal and monetary policy. The articles from foreign capitals similarly focused on trade, currencies and investment. It wasn’t as broad ranging in its intellectual ambitions as it later became.
Naw, this is all just media misdirection.
The real story isn’t that The Donald wants The Hacking One dead.
The real story is that She wants Americans living in Diversivibrant war zones dead.
She has openly, repeatedly, clearly, tersely promised to achieve that by making it legally impossible for the law abiding to fight back against the lawless for their and their families’ safety.
Misconstruing Trump’s comment so hyperbolically whiffs of fear that more and more carbon units in the electorate are waking up to what RKBA people have known for a long time:
Our elites want us helpless for their own reasons and ends. That pesky Bill of Rights keeps functioning exactly as it was intended, and elites have never stopped waging war on it and those of us descended from its framers.

My experience matches others’ here, and my initial excitement about its breadth of coverage and apparent expertise dwindled as my own increased.

Right, for example, Stephen Sondheim wrote a musical about would-be Presidential assassins. Historical characters in the musical, which won 5 Tony Awards when revived a dozen years ago include:
John Wilkes Booth: assassin of President Abraham Lincoln
David Herold: accomplice of John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln
Charles Guiteau: assassin of President James Garfield
President James Garfield: twentieth President of the United States
James Blaine: Secretary of State who received a deluge of letters from Charles Guiteau

He was murdered before he could be tried, and his attempts to call a lawyer were thwarted by two men in another room who told the operator not to put the call through and throw the number in the trash. Evidence: co-worker overheard and pulled the note from the trash.
He declared himself a patsy, and was prepred to tell more. He was not a proud assassin
True, Franco was on the right. Mussolini was a socialist from a socialist family; it’s hard to see much “right” about him except his nationalism, and his coming to an accommodation with the Roman Catholic church.
President Duarte is handling Brit criminals a bit differently in the Philippines.

This isn’t brain dead or stupid, it’s deliberately manipulative and political. NYT writers aren’t just plain dumb and Sailer shouldn’t try to convince us of that.
But for the sake of the future of my country I wish he would stop handing the other side ammunition.
Maybe Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush could give him advice on how to campaign?
