Wow, talk about watching the PC dam crack, as I predicted it following would as part and parcel of the Trump victory I predicted.
Tucker impressed me back in 2007/8 as the only honest journalist, huge integrity/courage, covering the 2007/8 Liberty Movement. The rest of the MSM, in a first warmup exercise for Tea Party/Trump slanderfests, derided everyone as kooks, racists, xenophobes, the usual.
My guess is that as the tastes of the white population changes wanting harder information, Fox will dabble with the alt-right in order to keep or pick up viewers. They are now competing directly with the internet 'fake news' and might have to up their game. My other fantasy is that an alt-right blog will be created producing their own show much the way the Wall Street Journal does, only this one would be interesting.Replies: @Oliver Ironside
A number of people predicted a Trump victory, some after the fact. Now, the narrative here is that this idiot represents mainstream lefties. To the contrary, he is a member of the Coalition of the Left Fringe group. There is a difference, similar to those who are mainstream righties and their extremist brethren, the Coalition of the Right Fringe group. But, it's easier to create fake news stories by both sides by calling out the radicals as being mainstream.Replies: @anonguy
Did you see Tucker's interview with the silly snowflake from Rutgers?

“We are screwed! Godzilla Trump versus Bambi Trudeau”
When George W. Bush was president the Left saw him as both a threat like Adolf Hitler and someone who was so dumb that he might as well have down syndrome. The two contradict each other. If your IQ is that low you can never rise to Hitler level of power.
Right now the Left is going off the rails and into the tall grass, probably to return as a pack a of gibbering idiots and the unhinged.
Perhaps it's time to reissue "Final Exit" and distribute it on college campuses everywhere. It;'s a book whose time has come.
Since neither the Left nor Islam is based on reason, these contradictions are not incompatible to the holders.
The Left is rarely coherent or logical in it’s assertions. After all they are driven by base emotions. Reason plays no part in their thinking. Just read the NYT or blogs like Dkos to see this.

This L.A Times article looks like it was written by The Onion. A Black Muslim woman named Tauheedah Shakur who resides in South Central Los Angeles is worried that she might be physically attacked by White Donald Trump supporters. That’s the equivalent of someone who lives in Colorado being worried about a tsunami hitting their state or someone living in Hawaii worrying about getting frostbite.

The tweet about the flag was probably the most appalling thing Trump has ever said. He’s the president-elect. He has no business as a provocateur who says stupid shit for attention.

US House Seeks Syria-War Escalation
Late in the day, on Nov. 15, one week after the U.S. elections, the lame-duck Congress convened in special session with normal rules suspended so the House could pass House Resolution 5732, the “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act” calling for intensifying the already harsh sanctions on Syria, assessing the imposition of a “no fly zone” inside Syria (to prevent the Syrian government from flying) and escalating efforts to press criminal charges against Syrian officials.
HR5732 claims to promote a negotiated settlement in Syria but, as analyzed by Friends Committee for National Legislation, it imposes preconditions which would actually make a peace agreement more difficult.
There was 40 minutes of “debate” with six representatives (Ed Royce, R-California; (((Eliot Engel))), D-New York; Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Florida; Dan Kildee, D-Michigan; Chris Smith, R-New Jersey; and Carlos Curbelo, R-Florida) all speaking in favor of the resolution. There were few other representatives present, but the House Foreign Affairs Committee stated that the resolution was passed “unanimously” without mentioning these special conditions.
According to Wikipedia, “Suspension of the rules is a procedure generally used to quickly pass non-controversial bills in the United States House of Representatives … such as naming Post Offices…” In this case, however, the resolution could lead to a wider war in the Middle East and potentially World War III with nuclear-armed Russia.
Most strikingly, the resolution calls for evaluating and developing plans for the United States to impose a “no fly zone” inside Syria, a sovereign nation, an act of war that also would violate international law as an act of aggression. It also could put the U.S. military in the position of shooting down Russian aircraft.
To call this proposal “non-controversial” is absurd, although it may say a great deal about the “group think” of the U.S. Congress that an act of war would be so casually considered. Clearly, this resolution should have been debated under normal rules with a reasonable amount of Congressional presence and debate.
The motivation for bypassing normal rules and rushing the bill through without meaningful debate was articulated by the bill’s sponsor, Democrat Eliot Engel: “We cannot delay action on Syria any further. … If we don’t get this legislation across the finish line in the next few weeks, we are back to square one.”
The current urgency may be related to the election results since President-elect Donald Trump has spoken out against “regime change” foreign policy. As much as neoconservatives and their liberal-interventionist allies are critical of President Obama for not doing more in Syria, these Congressional hawks are even more concerned about the prospect of a President who might move toward peace and away from war.
The Caesar Fraud
HR5732 is titled the “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act,” which House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Royce explained was named after “the brave Syrian defector known to the world as Caesar, who testified to us the shocking scale of torture being carried out within the prisons of Syria.”

In reality, the Caesar story was a grand deception involving the CIA with funding from Qatar to sabotage the 2014 Geneva peace negotiations. The 55,000 photos which were said to show 11,000 torture victims have never been publicly revealed. Only a tiny number of photos have been publicized. However, in 2015, Human Rights Watch was granted access to view the entire set. They revealed that almost one half the photos show the opposite of what was claimed: instead of victims tortured by the Syrian government, they actually show dead Syrian soldiers and civilian victims of car bombs and other terror attacks. The “Caesar” story, replete with a masked “defector,” was one of the early propaganda hoaxes regarding Syria.
One of the other big lies regarding Syria is that the U.S. has been doing nothing. Royce said, “The administration has decided not to decide. And that itself, unfortunately, has set a course where here we sit and watch and the violence only worsens. Mr. Speaker, America has been sitting back and watching these atrocities for far too long. Vital U.S. national security interests are at stake.”
Rep. Engel said, “Four years ago I thought we should have aided the Free Syrian Army. They came to us in Washington and begged us for help. … They were simply looking for weaponry. I really believe if we had given it to them, the situation in Syria would have been different today.”
That narrative is nonsense. By late 2011, the U.S. was actively coordinating, training and supplying armed opposition groups. When Muammar Gaddafi’s Libyan government was toppled in fall 2011, the CIA oversaw the diversion of Libyan weapons to the Syrian armed opposition, as documented in the Defense Intelligence Agency report of October 2012.
These weapons transfers were secret. For the public record, it was acknowledged that the U.S. was supplying communications equipment to the armed opposition while U.S. “allies” — Saudi Arabia and Qatar — were supplying the weaponry. This is one reason that Saudi purchases of weapons skyrocketed during this time period; they were buying weapons to replace those being shipped to the armed opposition in Syria. It was very profitable for U.S. arms manufacturers.
Huge weapons transfers to the armed opposition in Syria have continued to the present, with the U.S. government even more directly involved. This past spring, Janes Defense reported the details of a U.S. delivery of 2.2 million pounds of ammunition, rocket launchers and other weaponry to the armed opposition.
So, the political claims that the U.S. has been inactive are baseless. In reality, the U.S. has done everything short of a direct attack on Syria. And the U.S. military is starting to cross that line. On Sept. 17, the U.S. air coalition conducted a series of airstrikes on the Syrian Army in Deir Ezzor, killing 80 Syrian soldiers and enabling ISIS to launch an attack on the position. Claims that it was a “mistake” are highly dubious.
The assertions by Congressional hawks that the U.S. has been “inactive” in the Syrian conflict are part of the false narrative suggesting the U.S. must “do something” which leads to a “no fly zone” and full-scale war. Ironically, these calls for war are masked as “humanitarian” though even proponents, such as Hillary Clinton, privately have acknowledged that large numbers of Syrians, including civilians, would be killed in the U.S. attacks needed to establish the “no fly zone.”
And, never do the proponents bring up the case of Libya where the U.S. and NATO “did something”: destroyed the government and created chaos.
Fact-Free House of Propaganda
With only a handful of representatives present and no dissent, the six Congressional members engaged in unrestrained propaganda and misinformation.

Engel, said “We’re going into the New Year 2017, Assad still clings to power, at the expense of killing millions of his citizens.” Even if all the deaths, including Syrian soldiers and civilians killed by anti-government jihadists, were blamed on Assad, this number is way off anyone’s charts.
Rep. Kildee said “The world has witnessed this terrible tragedy unfold before our eyes. Nearly half a million Syrians killed. Not soldiers – men, women, children killed.”
The official text of the resolution says, “It is the sense of Congress that– (1) Bashar al-Assad’s murderous actions against the people of Syria have caused the deaths of more than 400,000 civilians…”
The above accusations – from “millions of citizens” to “half a million” to “400,000 civilians” – are all preposterous lies. Credible estimates of casualties in the Syrian conflict range from 300,000 to 420,000. The opposition-supporting Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimates the documented 2011-2016 death toll as follows: killed pro-Syrian forces – 108,000; killed anti-government forces – 105,000; killed civilians – 89,000
In contrast with Congressional and media claims, civilians comprise a minority of the total death count and the heaviest casualties are among those fighting in defense of the Syrian state. In the U.S. political world and the mainstream media, these facts are ignored and never mentioned because they point to the reality versus the propaganda narrative which has allowed the U.S. and its allies to continue funding terrorism and a war of aggression against Syria.
The Congressional speakers were in full self-righteous mode as they accused the Syrian government of “committing crimes against humanity and war crimes against civilians including murder, torture and rape. No one has been spared from this targeting, even children.” A naive listener would never know that the Syrian government is primarily fighting the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda including thousands of foreign fighters supplied and paid by foreign governments.
The speakers went on to accuse the Syrian military of “targeting” hospitals, schools and markets. A critical listener might ask why they would do that instead of targeting Al Qaeda terrorists and their allies who launch dozens and sometimes hundreds of hell-cannon missiles into the government-held sections of Aleppo every day.
The Congressional propaganda fest would not be complete without mention of the “White Helmets.” Royce said “We (previously) heard the testimony of Raed Saleh of the Syrian White Helmets. These are the doctors, nurses and volunteers who actually, when the bombs come, run towards the areas that have been hit in order to try to get the injured civilians medical treatment. … They have lost over 600 doctors and nurses.”
This is more Congressional nonsense. There are no nurses or doctors associated with the White Helmets. The organization was created by the U.S. and U.K. and heavily promoted by a “shady PR firm.” The White Helmets operate solely in areas controlled by Al Qaeda’s Nusra Front (recently renamed Syria Conquest Front) and associated terrorist groups. The White Helmets do some rescue work in the conflict zone but their main role is in the information war manipulating public opinion.
The White Helmets actively promote U.S./NATO intervention through a “no fly zone.” Recently, the White Helmets became a major source of claims about innocent civilian victims in east Aleppo.
Given the clear propagandistic history of the White Helmets, these claims should be treated with skepticism. We need to ask exactly what is the evidence?
The same skepticism needs to be applied to video and other reports from the Aleppo Media Center. AMC is a creation of the Syrian Expatriates Organization whose address on K Street in Washington, D.C., indicates it is a U.S. marketing operation.
What’s Going On?
The campaign to overthrow the Syrian government is failing and there is possibility of a victory for the Syrian government and its allies.
A heart-rending propaganda image designed to justify a major U.S. military operation inside Syria against the Syrian military.
A heart-rending propaganda image designed to justify a major U.S. military operation inside Syria against the Syrian military.
The earlier flood of international jihadi recruits is drying up. The Syrian Army and allies are gaining ground militarily and negotiating settlements or re-locations with “rebels” who previously terrorized Homs, Darraya (outer Damascus) and elsewhere. In Aleppo, the Syrian army and allies are tightening the noose around the armed opposition in east Aleppo.
This has caused alarm among neoconservative lawmakers devoted to Israel, Saudi Arabia and U.S. empire. They are desperate to prevent the Syrian government from finally eliminating the terrorist groups which the West and its allies have promoted for the past five-plus years.
“Pro Israel” groups have been major campaigners for passage of HR5732. The name of Simon Wiesenthal is even invoked in the resolution. Rabbi Lee Bycel wrote, “Where is the Conscience of the World?” as he questioned why the “humanitarian” HR5732 was not passed earlier.
Israeli interests are one of the primary forces sustaining and promoting the conflict. Syria is officially at war with Israel which continues to occupy the Syrian Golan Heights; Syria has been a key ally of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance; and Syria has maintained its alliance with Iran. In 2010, Secretary of State Clinton urged Syria to break relations with Hezbollah, reduce relations with Iran and come to settlement with Israel. The Syrian refusal to comply with these Washington demands was instrumental in solidifying Washington’s hostility.
Congressional proponents of HR5732 make clear the international dimension of the conflict. Royce explains, “It is Russia, it is Hezbollah, that are the primary movers of death and destruction. … It is the IRGC [Revolutionary Guard] fighters from Iran.”
Engel echoes the same message: “Yes, we want to go after Assad’s partners in violence … Iranian and Hezbollah forces.”
In words and deeds Israel has made its position on Syria crystal clear. Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren explained in an interview: “we always wanted [President] Bashar Assad to go, we always preferred the bad guys who weren’t backed by Iran to the bad guys who were backed by Iran … the greatest danger to Israel is by the strategic arc that extends from Tehran, to Damascus to Beirut. And we saw the Assad regime as the keystone in that arc.”
These statements have been fully backed up by Israeli actions bombing Syrian positions in southern Syria and providing medical treatment for Nusra/Al Qaeda and other armed opposition fighters.

Rightwing yakkers like Limbaugh (plus the rest of them utterly discredited by President Trump’s victory, like Glenn Beck and Hugh Hewitt) were often two minds about former President Powerbottom: one moment he’s incompetent and in over his head, while the next minute he’s an evil genius who knows exactly what he’s doing to destroy historic White America.
For example, I believe that Obama knew that the ACA was a redistribution of the costs of health insurance from the middle class to the lower classes - that is to say that it would make health insurance much more expensive for those who supply their own whether as a benefit of employment or by direct payment while making it free or nearly free for layabouts of all kinds and colors. If you start from the proposition that Obama set out to make health insurance more affordable, it's obviously a grand act of incompetence (this perception bolstered by the abject failures of the ACA HHS website at the outset). However if you start from the proposition that Obama set about to knock the wide (white) middle down a peg and elevate the denizens of his base while creating chaos in the existing system that would motivate a move to single payer (equal health care for all), it was a spectacular success.Replies: @Je Suis Omar Mateen

Surely you jest, mplying they’re not already a pack of gibbering idiots and the unhinged…
On a different note, while the left is consistently inconsistent (as they depend entirely upon emotional response and not rational argument), I fail to see the problem with the two most-shared articles. Certainly someone can be an “emotional weakling” and thus be prone to manipulation (project much, Lefties?), while at the same time have designs on doing something “evil” (like, you know, verifying someone’s not a foreign national trying to interfere in a sovereign nation’s civic activities), no? What am I missing?
I’m enjoying tremendously how much Trump is messing with and living rent-free inside the minds of each and every leftist and neocon.
He’s causing all of Manhattan, D.C., San Francisco, Austin, Chicago, and Brooklyn to take a mental health day at least once a week. All this by a few tweets and rousing speeches and some strong, time-to-eat-your-vegetables language.
This man is a master manipulator. Never forget how absolutely gobsmackingly good he is at getting under his enemies’ skin. Let’s thank heaven this man is on our side and not against us (AFAIK, oh please don’t let me be wrong!)
I like Tucker Carlson too. I’m pleased that Fox gave him his own program, in the prime slot following Special Report. Fox News has egg on its face because its stable of pundits were almost unanimously anti-Trump and their predictions about the primary and election were embarrassingly wrong. It really should dump die-hard Never-Trumpers like Jonah Goldberg, Steve Hayes, and George Will. It’s irksome listening to them continuing to carp.
(A post like this often elicits at least one response that asks, “Why do you continue to watch Fox News?” Answer: Because I feel like it.)
As much as I despise O'Reilly (and I really despise him), it is possible that Megyn Kelley ("gyn"? really?) has become FOX's most obnoxious host. Recently her show has become mostly devoted to selling her book and telling her life-story. If they want an attractive blonde host to anchor one of their shows, they have any number of other blondes to chose from who are prettier, smarter, and not nearly as obnoxious (if obnoxious at all).
FOX should also fire some of their other contributors too, such as Rove and Krauthammer.
I admit that during the administration of “W,” watching him pursue so many wrong-headed policies, I frequently asked myself, “Is he crazy or is he stupid?” I never came up with a satisfactory answer. I think Leftists saw Cheney as the evil mastermind and W as the brainless dupe.
Trump is much more entertaining and lively, because he defends himself, and he defends himself so well the Left freaks out when he hits them back. His aggressive attitude makes you think he's somebody worth defending.

Defending “W.” was tiring ( when you agreed with him) because he never seemed to be defending himself, rather letting history judge him. Like defending a kid in school who refused to fight back.

I am sure Tucker Carlson reads the alt-right and mines information and ideas albeit he is careful not to explicitly say so. The Daily Caller is a Breitbart light, sometimes worth reading. I have also heard him use phrases such as “population replacement”. The first mainstream journalist to openly take an alt-right position will clean up, its virgin territory and the amount of really good material ready for exploiting is massive.
My guess is that as the tastes of the white population changes wanting harder information, Fox will dabble with the alt-right in order to keep or pick up viewers.

The Saletan article is actually pretty interesting. Saletan tends to be a little more iconoclastic than most of the Slaterati, he even has dabbled with the idea that IQ is a heritable trait. His portrait of Trump is not one most liberals are going to like – because it isn’t scary. But the idea that Trump is at core just a narcissist without convictions who can easily be won over by flattery is pretty much what most New York Republicans had been saying for the past 10 years. And judging by Trump’s recent post-election flip flopping on all sorts of issues, is probably true. Obviously the political left has a vested interest in portraying Trump as Hitler, because fear and and paranoia is how you scare people into giving you money and time.
true.
Politicians are salesmen. Some are effective; others aren't. I'd say his life story illustrates that Trump has been a very effective salesman.
Effective salesmen set the bar/cost at one height knowing they can come down and still make a tidy profit.
Trump's pronouncements/goals are often hyperbolic for a reason--they get attention. He then moderates his position from there.
That's simply an age-old technique. He's just very good at it.
Along with closing the sales, he actually seems to have produced a great deal and details are very important to him.
Does slate get new readers? Is it the same group of people who read it in the 90s when “news on the internet” was a hot new thing. I haven’t looked at that site in 10 years.
Hillary sponsored some sort of flag desecration bill when she was in the Senate. Was that stupid too? The press still doesn’t get that you have to take what Trump says seriously but not literally. He’s a bargainer – before the election he said he would get Carrier to keep all their 2,000 jobs in Ohio and he just settled for 1,000, which is 1,000 more than Hillary would have gotten. The Supreme Court has said that burning flags is “free speech”. I’ve read the 1st Amendment and for the life of me I can’t find where it says that you are allowed to burn flags, so this must be some stupid rule that they just made up out of thin air. The press treats Supreme Court holdings (at least the ones that they like) as if they were holy and unalterable decrees pronounced by Jesus himself instead of 5 to 4 rulings that could have easily gone the other way. Maybe DT can get them to make up another rule. He says revocation of citizenship but he would settle for a hefty fine.
Desecrating a flag is none of these.

However, although I have no desire whatsoever to burn US flags, or any other flags for that matter, I would imagine that people who wish to do so are protesting because they believe that the government of the day has betrayed the ideals of the new constellation of the American Revolution. The flag originally had 13 stars, but this proved to be unlucky and the flag has taken various forms before taking on its final version in 1960 with 50 stars.Replies: @Oliver Ironside
The Democrat war on the white populace by importing votes was treason, and the way they shut down argument against this by crying racism reprehensible. Winding that back by shipping back the Dem naturalized citizens who give reason is a way to fight back and show some cajones.Replies: @Jefferson
Whether they consider Trump to be evil or stupid or narcissistic or whatever, one thing is for sure – Donald Trump is living rent free in lib’s heads. They really can’t stop talking about the guy and what they don’t get is that this is all free publicity for him. The strategy that might have deprived him of the White House would have been to ignore him as much as possible from the start but they couldn’t help themselves – they HAD to keep writing a million “Trump is Hitler” stories all day every day and they STILL don’t get why that totally backfired on them.
And his supporters love him for it.

Hey Tiny!
What do you think about your party (the commies) pre-positioning Planned Parenthood black baby abattoirs in colored neighborhoods? What do you think about your party funding these slaughterhouses for black babies?
And what do you think about that racist party of Christian whites men promising to defund these slaughterhouses as one of their first actions after inauguration of the racist Trump?
Scott Adams has it right: Trump’s tweet is an effective tactic in persuasion. It has gotten the media and everyone else to “think past the sale.” People are not talking/thinking about whether illegals vote but about how many do.
Trump’s tweets establish a “reality” that wasn’t conceded before and set up a new one.
His enemies still don’t get how he sets them up.
And judging by Trump’s recent post-election flip flopping on all sorts of issues, is probably
true.
Politicians are salesmen. Some are effective; others aren’t. I’d say his life story illustrates that Trump has been a very effective salesman.
Effective salesmen set the bar/cost at one height knowing they can come down and still make a tidy profit.
Trump’s pronouncements/goals are often hyperbolic for a reason–they get attention. He then moderates his position from there.
That’s simply an age-old technique. He’s just very good at it.
Along with closing the sales, he actually seems to have produced a great deal and details are very important to him.
This doesn’t mean that PMS is all in Western women’s heads (except in the sense that ALL symptoms are in your head – your brain has to make sense of the signals that your body is sending you). Women clearly feel “out of sorts” at that time of month, but their culture tells them how to interpret and describe their symptoms. In Chinese medicine, yin or cold is associated with female characteristics.
US House Seeks Syria-War Escalation
Late in the day, on Nov. 15, one week after the U.S. elections, the lame-duck Congress convened in special session with normal rules suspended so the House could pass House Resolution 5732, the “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act” calling for intensifying the already harsh sanctions on Syria, assessing the imposition of a “no fly zone” inside Syria (to prevent the Syrian government from flying) and escalating efforts to press criminal charges against Syrian officials.
HR5732 claims to promote a negotiated settlement in Syria but, as analyzed by Friends Committee for National Legislation, it imposes preconditions which would actually make a peace agreement more difficult.
There was 40 minutes of “debate” with six representatives (Ed Royce, R-California; (((Eliot Engel))), D-New York; Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Florida; Dan Kildee, D-Michigan; Chris Smith, R-New Jersey; and Carlos Curbelo, R-Florida) all speaking in favor of the resolution. There were few other representatives present, but the House Foreign Affairs Committee stated that the resolution was passed “unanimously” without mentioning these special conditions.
According to Wikipedia, “Suspension of the rules is a procedure generally used to quickly pass non-controversial bills in the United States House of Representatives … such as naming Post Offices…” In this case, however, the resolution could lead to a wider war in the Middle East and potentially World War III with nuclear-armed Russia.
Most strikingly, the resolution calls for evaluating and developing plans for the United States to impose a “no fly zone” inside Syria, a sovereign nation, an act of war that also would violate international law as an act of aggression. It also could put the U.S. military in the position of shooting down Russian aircraft.
To call this proposal “non-controversial” is absurd, although it may say a great deal about the “group think” of the U.S. Congress that an act of war would be so casually considered. Clearly, this resolution should have been debated under normal rules with a reasonable amount of Congressional presence and debate.
The motivation for bypassing normal rules and rushing the bill through without meaningful debate was articulated by the bill’s sponsor, Democrat Eliot Engel: “We cannot delay action on Syria any further. … If we don’t get this legislation across the finish line in the next few weeks, we are back to square one.”
The current urgency may be related to the election results since President-elect Donald Trump has spoken out against “regime change” foreign policy. As much as neoconservatives and their liberal-interventionist allies are critical of President Obama for not doing more in Syria, these Congressional hawks are even more concerned about the prospect of a President who might move toward peace and away from war.
The Caesar Fraud
HR5732 is titled the “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act,” which House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Royce explained was named after “the brave Syrian defector known to the world as Caesar, who testified to us the shocking scale of torture being carried out within the prisons of Syria.”

In reality, the Caesar story was a grand deception involving the CIA with funding from Qatar to sabotage the 2014 Geneva peace negotiations. The 55,000 photos which were said to show 11,000 torture victims have never been publicly revealed. Only a tiny number of photos have been publicized. However, in 2015, Human Rights Watch was granted access to view the entire set. They revealed that almost one half the photos show the opposite of what was claimed: instead of victims tortured by the Syrian government, they actually show dead Syrian soldiers and civilian victims of car bombs and other terror attacks. The “Caesar” story, replete with a masked “defector,” was one of the early propaganda hoaxes regarding Syria.
One of the other big lies regarding Syria is that the U.S. has been doing nothing. Royce said, “The administration has decided not to decide. And that itself, unfortunately, has set a course where here we sit and watch and the violence only worsens. Mr. Speaker, America has been sitting back and watching these atrocities for far too long. Vital U.S. national security interests are at stake.”
Rep. Engel said, “Four years ago I thought we should have aided the Free Syrian Army. They came to us in Washington and begged us for help. … They were simply looking for weaponry. I really believe if we had given it to them, the situation in Syria would have been different today.”
That narrative is nonsense. By late 2011, the U.S. was actively coordinating, training and supplying armed opposition groups. When Muammar Gaddafi’s Libyan government was toppled in fall 2011, the CIA oversaw the diversion of Libyan weapons to the Syrian armed opposition, as documented in the Defense Intelligence Agency report of October 2012.
These weapons transfers were secret. For the public record, it was acknowledged that the U.S. was supplying communications equipment to the armed opposition while U.S. “allies” — Saudi Arabia and Qatar — were supplying the weaponry. This is one reason that Saudi purchases of weapons skyrocketed during this time period; they were buying weapons to replace those being shipped to the armed opposition in Syria. It was very profitable for U.S. arms manufacturers.
Huge weapons transfers to the armed opposition in Syria have continued to the present, with the U.S. government even more directly involved. This past spring, Janes Defense reported the details of a U.S. delivery of 2.2 million pounds of ammunition, rocket launchers and other weaponry to the armed opposition.
So, the political claims that the U.S. has been inactive are baseless. In reality, the U.S. has done everything short of a direct attack on Syria. And the U.S. military is starting to cross that line. On Sept. 17, the U.S. air coalition conducted a series of airstrikes on the Syrian Army in Deir Ezzor, killing 80 Syrian soldiers and enabling ISIS to launch an attack on the position. Claims that it was a “mistake” are highly dubious.
The assertions by Congressional hawks that the U.S. has been “inactive” in the Syrian conflict are part of the false narrative suggesting the U.S. must “do something” which leads to a “no fly zone” and full-scale war. Ironically, these calls for war are masked as “humanitarian” though even proponents, such as Hillary Clinton, privately have acknowledged that large numbers of Syrians, including civilians, would be killed in the U.S. attacks needed to establish the “no fly zone.”
And, never do the proponents bring up the case of Libya where the U.S. and NATO “did something”: destroyed the government and created chaos.
Fact-Free House of Propaganda
With only a handful of representatives present and no dissent, the six Congressional members engaged in unrestrained propaganda and misinformation.

Engel, said “We’re going into the New Year 2017, Assad still clings to power, at the expense of killing millions of his citizens.” Even if all the deaths, including Syrian soldiers and civilians killed by anti-government jihadists, were blamed on Assad, this number is way off anyone’s charts.
Rep. Kildee said “The world has witnessed this terrible tragedy unfold before our eyes. Nearly half a million Syrians killed. Not soldiers – men, women, children killed.”
The official text of the resolution says, “It is the sense of Congress that– (1) Bashar al-Assad’s murderous actions against the people of Syria have caused the deaths of more than 400,000 civilians…”
The above accusations – from “millions of citizens” to “half a million” to “400,000 civilians” – are all preposterous lies. Credible estimates of casualties in the Syrian conflict range from 300,000 to 420,000. The opposition-supporting Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimates the documented 2011-2016 death toll as follows: killed pro-Syrian forces – 108,000; killed anti-government forces – 105,000; killed civilians – 89,000
In contrast with Congressional and media claims, civilians comprise a minority of the total death count and the heaviest casualties are among those fighting in defense of the Syrian state. In the U.S. political world and the mainstream media, these facts are ignored and never mentioned because they point to the reality versus the propaganda narrative which has allowed the U.S. and its allies to continue funding terrorism and a war of aggression against Syria.
The Congressional speakers were in full self-righteous mode as they accused the Syrian government of “committing crimes against humanity and war crimes against civilians including murder, torture and rape. No one has been spared from this targeting, even children.” A naive listener would never know that the Syrian government is primarily fighting the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda including thousands of foreign fighters supplied and paid by foreign governments.
The speakers went on to accuse the Syrian military of “targeting” hospitals, schools and markets. A critical listener might ask why they would do that instead of targeting Al Qaeda terrorists and their allies who launch dozens and sometimes hundreds of hell-cannon missiles into the government-held sections of Aleppo every day.
The Congressional propaganda fest would not be complete without mention of the “White Helmets.” Royce said “We (previously) heard the testimony of Raed Saleh of the Syrian White Helmets. These are the doctors, nurses and volunteers who actually, when the bombs come, run towards the areas that have been hit in order to try to get the injured civilians medical treatment. … They have lost over 600 doctors and nurses.”
This is more Congressional nonsense. There are no nurses or doctors associated with the White Helmets. The organization was created by the U.S. and U.K. and heavily promoted by a “shady PR firm.” The White Helmets operate solely in areas controlled by Al Qaeda’s Nusra Front (recently renamed Syria Conquest Front) and associated terrorist groups. The White Helmets do some rescue work in the conflict zone but their main role is in the information war manipulating public opinion.
The White Helmets actively promote U.S./NATO intervention through a “no fly zone.” Recently, the White Helmets became a major source of claims about innocent civilian victims in east Aleppo.
Given the clear propagandistic history of the White Helmets, these claims should be treated with skepticism. We need to ask exactly what is the evidence?
The same skepticism needs to be applied to video and other reports from the Aleppo Media Center. AMC is a creation of the Syrian Expatriates Organization whose address on K Street in Washington, D.C., indicates it is a U.S. marketing operation.
What’s Going On?
The campaign to overthrow the Syrian government is failing and there is possibility of a victory for the Syrian government and its allies.
A heart-rending propaganda image designed to justify a major U.S. military operation inside Syria against the Syrian military.
A heart-rending propaganda image designed to justify a major U.S. military operation inside Syria against the Syrian military.
The earlier flood of international jihadi recruits is drying up. The Syrian Army and allies are gaining ground militarily and negotiating settlements or re-locations with “rebels” who previously terrorized Homs, Darraya (outer Damascus) and elsewhere. In Aleppo, the Syrian army and allies are tightening the noose around the armed opposition in east Aleppo.
This has caused alarm among neoconservative lawmakers devoted to Israel, Saudi Arabia and U.S. empire. They are desperate to prevent the Syrian government from finally eliminating the terrorist groups which the West and its allies have promoted for the past five-plus years.
“Pro Israel” groups have been major campaigners for passage of HR5732. The name of Simon Wiesenthal is even invoked in the resolution. Rabbi Lee Bycel wrote, “Where is the Conscience of the World?” as he questioned why the “humanitarian” HR5732 was not passed earlier.
Israeli interests are one of the primary forces sustaining and promoting the conflict. Syria is officially at war with Israel which continues to occupy the Syrian Golan Heights; Syria has been a key ally of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance; and Syria has maintained its alliance with Iran. In 2010, Secretary of State Clinton urged Syria to break relations with Hezbollah, reduce relations with Iran and come to settlement with Israel. The Syrian refusal to comply with these Washington demands was instrumental in solidifying Washington’s hostility.
Congressional proponents of HR5732 make clear the international dimension of the conflict. Royce explains, “It is Russia, it is Hezbollah, that are the primary movers of death and destruction. … It is the IRGC [Revolutionary Guard] fighters from Iran.”
Engel echoes the same message: “Yes, we want to go after Assad’s partners in violence … Iranian and Hezbollah forces.”
In words and deeds Israel has made its position on Syria crystal clear. Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren explained in an interview: “we always wanted [President] Bashar Assad to go, we always preferred the bad guys who weren’t backed by Iran to the bad guys who were backed by Iran … the greatest danger to Israel is by the strategic arc that extends from Tehran, to Damascus to Beirut. And we saw the Assad regime as the keystone in that arc.”
These statements have been fully backed up by Israeli actions bombing Syrian positions in southern Syria and providing medical treatment for Nusra/Al Qaeda and other armed opposition fighters.

For example, I believe that Obama knew that the ACA was a redistribution of the costs of health insurance from the middle class to the lower classes – that is to say that it would make health insurance much more expensive for those who supply their own whether as a benefit of employment or by direct payment while making it free or nearly free for layabouts of all kinds and colors. If you start from the proposition that Obama set out to make health insurance more affordable, it’s obviously a grand act of incompetence (this perception bolstered by the abject failures of the ACA HHS website at the outset). However if you start from the proposition that Obama set about to knock the wide (white) middle down a peg and elevate the denizens of his base while creating chaos in the existing system that would motivate a move to single payer (equal health care for all), it was a spectacular success.
You mean former President Powerbottom knew that RobertsTax was a redistribution of medical care insurance costs from the lower classes to the middle class?
Regardless, it didn't work that way. Lower classes were already getting 'free' medical care paid for by the middle class via Medicaid programs (or Oregon Health Plan, as it's called in my state), so RobertsTax provided them no new gibsmedats.
That's why it will be easy for President Trump to repeal RobertsTax -- only a miniscule sliver of Americans, those who actually work for a living but have preexisting conditions that prevent purchase of insurance, benefits from RobertsTax.
Powerbottom's African IQ is too low to see the inevitable dialectical comeuppance of his poorly crafted welfare scheme.
This is off-topic and for that I apologize in advance, but on the subject of the threat Donald Trump supposedly represents to democracy, the NY Times has this breathless article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/29/world/americas/western-liberal-democracy.html?_r=0&mtrref=nuzzel.com
Essentially, according to the Times, people in the West are becoming disillusioned with democracy and increasingly drawn to non-democratic ideals such as military rule. The United States not excepted.
However, as you read the article, it becomes clear that the generation more and more hostile to democratic forms of government in the West are the Millennials.
No mention, of course, that Millennials, in virtually every Western nation — contain a far greater proportion of peoples from non-western societies — societies far less supportive of democracy — than the older generations.
So young “Americans” from Latin America and young “Britons” from the Islamic world don’t much care for democracy. Goodness, what a shock.
It’s not that the NY Times can’t think. It’s that they won’t think.
Same with Slate.
All speech should be legal with the exception of perjury, fraud, libel and threats.
Desecrating a flag is none of these.
You are a coward if you would seek to legally punish people for burning flags (at least opposed to burning anything else… there are safety and environmental reasons to limit burning things).
what would happen if you were to burn a Mexican Flag or the Israeli Flag...it seems you would face a hate crime charge. In my town they even arrest people for burning leaves in their yard, which was once acceptable.Replies: @Jefferson, @Anon

Well, at least they don’t think he’s a fascist anymore.
Being the figurehead for someone with Hitler levels of power, though, is an entirely achieveable career path open to the cognitively impaired.
So if one mind is a terrible thing to waste, what is two?
Dunno what you mean, Steve. Trump is an easily-manipulated weakling, who makes precision attacks on voting rights. Where’s the contradiction?
Big Media doesn’t care about contradictions, anyway. Dredge up the worst sycophantic courtier from every period drama, who twists his every word to flatter his patron and disparage his rivals, someone who cares not a whit for truth or decency, and you’ll have them pegged exactly.
E.g., Big Media has characterized Trump’s politeness and graciousness in meetings with Hussein during the transition as…Hussein’s obvious Messianic majesty.
All Nazis are knuckle dragging retards. Like poopyhead Wernher von Braun & Heinz Guderian. That’s why they crumbled against the Polish Army and the Ethiopians whipped their butts.
Besides the well documented cases of foot in mouth disease (everyone has these, but my god the number of them Bush had…), what pops into my mind after eight years post-Bush regarding stupidity:
1) The whole Iraq War. No matter how you slice or parse it, stupid. What was it supposed to achieve? (Yeah if you want to go into the Cheney/Oil thing, whatever, but aside from that it made absolutely no sense. Maybe it made sense to a neocon, but I’d dearly love to hear an actual Israeli say what they thought of the whole thing. Seems to me Israel is less secure now than circa 2000, but what do I know?)
On a related note, our “liberal” media dutifully parroted whatever the heck it was they were told, somehow linking Saddam Hussein of all people to Osama Bin Lauden.
2) Teri Schiavo. What the hell was that all about? After all this time, I don’t have the slightest idea of what Karl Rove was thinking. Does Karl Rove even know? And there was no adult around anywhere to tell the gang of idiots “No.”
Like Hussein, after watching Trump eat his lunch for a few months:
“If-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if.”
My count of these stuttering episodes of Hussein’s is up to three now.
Try and show some of Hussein’s strength, Donald.
The left has spent the last year pointing at Trump and sputtering, “you dare? You dare???” They’re still doing it. Yes, he dares. Move on,
lying whoresBig Media, move on.Unfortunately, Hussein put the USS Presidential Decorum to sail long ago (to join USS Presidential Propriety, among others). Hell, he just had lunch with the owner of Rolling Stone, who just dragged American journalism through the mud. I guess Walter Duranty couldn’t make it.
After being primed like this by 8 years of Hussein, nobody really cares any more. The time for libs to prove their worth has passed. P.S., most Americans are like Trump; they don’t want to put people in jail for burning the flag, but they sure would like to punch them in the face, so they compromise by saying they’d like to put them in jail. Like most Americans, it probably makes Trump feel better to say so.
You must have heard a different Limbaugh than I did. I probably tuned in a half-dozen times, during the election, and every time Trump was the topic, he was defending the nominee, and attacking Big Media & co. Or maybe I just got lucky.
Mentioning him in the same breath as Beck doesn’t seem to make sense, as Beck was the opposite of Rush. Beck was waaay into the Never Trump camp, with that not-even-hack Megan “he insulted my War Hero daddy!” McCain.

That's why I put Beck et al in parentheses -- 'the rest of them' is a reference to rightwing yakkers utterly discredited by President Trump's victory. The parentheses signify that Rush is not of that worthless group; though he still refers to Powerbottom as both idiot and evil genius.
OT (moral authority for coercive taxation)
US House Seeks Syria-War Escalation
Late in the day, on Nov. 15, one week after the U.S. elections, the lame-duck Congress convened in special session with normal rules suspended so the House could pass House Resolution 5732, the “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act” calling for intensifying the already harsh sanctions on Syria, assessing the imposition of a “no fly zone” inside Syria (to prevent the Syrian government from flying) and escalating efforts to press criminal charges against Syrian officials.
HR5732 claims to promote a negotiated settlement in Syria but, as analyzed by Friends Committee for National Legislation, it imposes preconditions which would actually make a peace agreement more difficult.
There was 40 minutes of “debate” with six representatives (Ed Royce, R-California; (((Eliot Engel))), D-New York; Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Florida; Dan Kildee, D-Michigan; Chris Smith, R-New Jersey; and Carlos Curbelo, R-Florida) all speaking in favor of the resolution. There were few other representatives present, but the House Foreign Affairs Committee stated that the resolution was passed “unanimously” without mentioning these special conditions.
According to Wikipedia, “Suspension of the rules is a procedure generally used to quickly pass non-controversial bills in the United States House of Representatives … such as naming Post Offices…” In this case, however, the resolution could lead to a wider war in the Middle East and potentially World War III with nuclear-armed Russia.
Most strikingly, the resolution calls for evaluating and developing plans for the United States to impose a “no fly zone” inside Syria, a sovereign nation, an act of war that also would violate international law as an act of aggression. It also could put the U.S. military in the position of shooting down Russian aircraft.
To call this proposal “non-controversial” is absurd, although it may say a great deal about the “group think” of the U.S. Congress that an act of war would be so casually considered. Clearly, this resolution should have been debated under normal rules with a reasonable amount of Congressional presence and debate.
The motivation for bypassing normal rules and rushing the bill through without meaningful debate was articulated by the bill’s sponsor, Democrat Eliot Engel: “We cannot delay action on Syria any further. … If we don’t get this legislation across the finish line in the next few weeks, we are back to square one.”
The current urgency may be related to the election results since President-elect Donald Trump has spoken out against “regime change” foreign policy. As much as neoconservatives and their liberal-interventionist allies are critical of President Obama for not doing more in Syria, these Congressional hawks are even more concerned about the prospect of a President who might move toward peace and away from war.
The Caesar Fraud
HR5732 is titled the “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act,” which House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Royce explained was named after “the brave Syrian defector known to the world as Caesar, who testified to us the shocking scale of torture being carried out within the prisons of Syria.”

In reality, the Caesar story was a grand deception involving the CIA with funding from Qatar to sabotage the 2014 Geneva peace negotiations. The 55,000 photos which were said to show 11,000 torture victims have never been publicly revealed. Only a tiny number of photos have been publicized. However, in 2015, Human Rights Watch was granted access to view the entire set. They revealed that almost one half the photos show the opposite of what was claimed: instead of victims tortured by the Syrian government, they actually show dead Syrian soldiers and civilian victims of car bombs and other terror attacks. The “Caesar” story, replete with a masked “defector,” was one of the early propaganda hoaxes regarding Syria.
One of the other big lies regarding Syria is that the U.S. has been doing nothing. Royce said, “The administration has decided not to decide. And that itself, unfortunately, has set a course where here we sit and watch and the violence only worsens. Mr. Speaker, America has been sitting back and watching these atrocities for far too long. Vital U.S. national security interests are at stake.”
Rep. Engel said, “Four years ago I thought we should have aided the Free Syrian Army. They came to us in Washington and begged us for help. … They were simply looking for weaponry. I really believe if we had given it to them, the situation in Syria would have been different today.”
That narrative is nonsense. By late 2011, the U.S. was actively coordinating, training and supplying armed opposition groups. When Muammar Gaddafi’s Libyan government was toppled in fall 2011, the CIA oversaw the diversion of Libyan weapons to the Syrian armed opposition, as documented in the Defense Intelligence Agency report of October 2012.
These weapons transfers were secret. For the public record, it was acknowledged that the U.S. was supplying communications equipment to the armed opposition while U.S. “allies” — Saudi Arabia and Qatar — were supplying the weaponry. This is one reason that Saudi purchases of weapons skyrocketed during this time period; they were buying weapons to replace those being shipped to the armed opposition in Syria. It was very profitable for U.S. arms manufacturers.
Huge weapons transfers to the armed opposition in Syria have continued to the present, with the U.S. government even more directly involved. This past spring, Janes Defense reported the details of a U.S. delivery of 2.2 million pounds of ammunition, rocket launchers and other weaponry to the armed opposition.
So, the political claims that the U.S. has been inactive are baseless. In reality, the U.S. has done everything short of a direct attack on Syria. And the U.S. military is starting to cross that line. On Sept. 17, the U.S. air coalition conducted a series of airstrikes on the Syrian Army in Deir Ezzor, killing 80 Syrian soldiers and enabling ISIS to launch an attack on the position. Claims that it was a “mistake” are highly dubious.
The assertions by Congressional hawks that the U.S. has been “inactive” in the Syrian conflict are part of the false narrative suggesting the U.S. must “do something” which leads to a “no fly zone” and full-scale war. Ironically, these calls for war are masked as “humanitarian” though even proponents, such as Hillary Clinton, privately have acknowledged that large numbers of Syrians, including civilians, would be killed in the U.S. attacks needed to establish the “no fly zone.”
And, never do the proponents bring up the case of Libya where the U.S. and NATO “did something”: destroyed the government and created chaos.
Fact-Free House of Propaganda
With only a handful of representatives present and no dissent, the six Congressional members engaged in unrestrained propaganda and misinformation.

Engel, said “We’re going into the New Year 2017, Assad still clings to power, at the expense of killing millions of his citizens.” Even if all the deaths, including Syrian soldiers and civilians killed by anti-government jihadists, were blamed on Assad, this number is way off anyone’s charts.
Rep. Kildee said “The world has witnessed this terrible tragedy unfold before our eyes. Nearly half a million Syrians killed. Not soldiers – men, women, children killed.”
The official text of the resolution says, “It is the sense of Congress that– (1) Bashar al-Assad’s murderous actions against the people of Syria have caused the deaths of more than 400,000 civilians…”
The above accusations – from “millions of citizens” to “half a million” to “400,000 civilians” – are all preposterous lies. Credible estimates of casualties in the Syrian conflict range from 300,000 to 420,000. The opposition-supporting Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimates the documented 2011-2016 death toll as follows: killed pro-Syrian forces – 108,000; killed anti-government forces – 105,000; killed civilians – 89,000
In contrast with Congressional and media claims, civilians comprise a minority of the total death count and the heaviest casualties are among those fighting in defense of the Syrian state. In the U.S. political world and the mainstream media, these facts are ignored and never mentioned because they point to the reality versus the propaganda narrative which has allowed the U.S. and its allies to continue funding terrorism and a war of aggression against Syria.
The Congressional speakers were in full self-righteous mode as they accused the Syrian government of “committing crimes against humanity and war crimes against civilians including murder, torture and rape. No one has been spared from this targeting, even children.” A naive listener would never know that the Syrian government is primarily fighting the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda including thousands of foreign fighters supplied and paid by foreign governments.
The speakers went on to accuse the Syrian military of “targeting” hospitals, schools and markets. A critical listener might ask why they would do that instead of targeting Al Qaeda terrorists and their allies who launch dozens and sometimes hundreds of hell-cannon missiles into the government-held sections of Aleppo every day.
The Congressional propaganda fest would not be complete without mention of the “White Helmets.” Royce said “We (previously) heard the testimony of Raed Saleh of the Syrian White Helmets. These are the doctors, nurses and volunteers who actually, when the bombs come, run towards the areas that have been hit in order to try to get the injured civilians medical treatment. … They have lost over 600 doctors and nurses.”
This is more Congressional nonsense. There are no nurses or doctors associated with the White Helmets. The organization was created by the U.S. and U.K. and heavily promoted by a “shady PR firm.” The White Helmets operate solely in areas controlled by Al Qaeda’s Nusra Front (recently renamed Syria Conquest Front) and associated terrorist groups. The White Helmets do some rescue work in the conflict zone but their main role is in the information war manipulating public opinion.
The White Helmets actively promote U.S./NATO intervention through a “no fly zone.” Recently, the White Helmets became a major source of claims about innocent civilian victims in east Aleppo.
Given the clear propagandistic history of the White Helmets, these claims should be treated with skepticism. We need to ask exactly what is the evidence?
The same skepticism needs to be applied to video and other reports from the Aleppo Media Center. AMC is a creation of the Syrian Expatriates Organization whose address on K Street in Washington, D.C., indicates it is a U.S. marketing operation.
What’s Going On?
The campaign to overthrow the Syrian government is failing and there is possibility of a victory for the Syrian government and its allies.
A heart-rending propaganda image designed to justify a major U.S. military operation inside Syria against the Syrian military.
A heart-rending propaganda image designed to justify a major U.S. military operation inside Syria against the Syrian military.
The earlier flood of international jihadi recruits is drying up. The Syrian Army and allies are gaining ground militarily and negotiating settlements or re-locations with “rebels” who previously terrorized Homs, Darraya (outer Damascus) and elsewhere. In Aleppo, the Syrian army and allies are tightening the noose around the armed opposition in east Aleppo.
This has caused alarm among neoconservative lawmakers devoted to Israel, Saudi Arabia and U.S. empire. They are desperate to prevent the Syrian government from finally eliminating the terrorist groups which the West and its allies have promoted for the past five-plus years.
“Pro Israel” groups have been major campaigners for passage of HR5732. The name of Simon Wiesenthal is even invoked in the resolution. Rabbi Lee Bycel wrote, “Where is the Conscience of the World?” as he questioned why the “humanitarian” HR5732 was not passed earlier.
Israeli interests are one of the primary forces sustaining and promoting the conflict. Syria is officially at war with Israel which continues to occupy the Syrian Golan Heights; Syria has been a key ally of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance; and Syria has maintained its alliance with Iran. In 2010, Secretary of State Clinton urged Syria to break relations with Hezbollah, reduce relations with Iran and come to settlement with Israel. The Syrian refusal to comply with these Washington demands was instrumental in solidifying Washington’s hostility.
Congressional proponents of HR5732 make clear the international dimension of the conflict. Royce explains, “It is Russia, it is Hezbollah, that are the primary movers of death and destruction. … It is the IRGC [Revolutionary Guard] fighters from Iran.”
Engel echoes the same message: “Yes, we want to go after Assad’s partners in violence … Iranian and Hezbollah forces.”
In words and deeds Israel has made its position on Syria crystal clear. Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren explained in an interview: “we always wanted [President] Bashar Assad to go, we always preferred the bad guys who weren’t backed by Iran to the bad guys who were backed by Iran … the greatest danger to Israel is by the strategic arc that extends from Tehran, to Damascus to Beirut. And we saw the Assad regime as the keystone in that arc.”
These statements have been fully backed up by Israeli actions bombing Syrian positions in southern Syria and providing medical treatment for Nusra/Al Qaeda and other armed opposition fighters.

Look forward to 8 years of The Emperor kicking your ass while the MSM withers and gets replaced by new pro-White alternative media with a hip, fashy narrative.
Remember when the Berlin Wall fell? That rumbling sound in your ears is the sweet sound of the globalist dam beginning to burst. As communism fell, now the anti-White schemes of the rootless cosmopolitan “elites” are about to be crushed and swept aside.
You anti-Whites and your LGBTPedo coalition of the fringes are about to experience permanent exile.
Post election, the Democrats are leaderless. Had Hillary won, the coalition would have hung together with all the various constituencies partaking in the spoils. But now, not only is there no one person at the helm, but there is no one ethnic bloc in the dominant position to quell the squabbling. The white liberal elites, (((Jews included))) have lost control the rest of the rabble and they are all fighting separately in an uncoordinated fashion. One of the groups will need to assert control but their increasing diversity is making that impossible.
What the Republicans don’t want to do at this point is give them an issue they can all rally around. Better to just pick off or pick on one group at a time.
Now contrast this with the Republicans. Trump has successfully reorganized the party around race, something which should have happened 20 years ago but heretofore had been thwarted. He has or will have put down any rivals so he should dictate the order of battle for the next 8 years. The Republicans just had their civil war and due to their relative homogeneity it was more of a coup.
Watch for a struggle within the Democratic party as each group fights to come out on top. White liberals who are rapidly aging but with their superior assets v. the Latino Horde which is growing but not developing, and blacks who are the most stalwart but get riled up too easy and are helpless. Throw in the gays and feminists and you have a hot mess.

An egregious example of the abuse of information (too, too much).Replies: @syonredux
(A post like this often elicits at least one response that asks, "Why do you continue to watch Fox News?" Answer: Because I feel like it.)Replies: @guest, @Mr. Anon
But seriously, why do you still watch Fox?
Because it's the only news channel that has pro-Donald J. Trump people like Jeanine Pirro and Jesse Watters for example. Can you name any pro-Donald J. Trump people on CNN and MSNBC?

You wonder how he ever got any work done if he was watching so many movies, but then I again, he didn't play golf and Blue Lagoon will have taken his mind off 20% interest rates, the re-election campaign, the US Embassy in Tehran, and the legs of the wife of Lieut. Gen. Raoul Cedras of Haiti. "Mrs. Cedras was impressive, powerful and forceful," he said. "And attractive. She was slim and very attractive."

Desecrating a flag is none of these.
You are a coward if you would seek to legally punish people for burning flags (at least opposed to burning anything else... there are safety and environmental reasons to limit burning things).Replies: @Travis, @Jack D, @Opinionator
I agree with you and it highlights the hypocrisy of the left that they support burning the American Flag yet are quick to label the burning of a cross to be a hate-crime.
what would happen if you were to burn a Mexican Flag or the Israeli Flag…it seems you would face a hate crime charge. In my town they even arrest people for burning leaves in their yard, which was once acceptable.

Where is the STFU button?
About as silly as the Supreme Court insisting that multinational corporations are individuals who can bribe the politicians of their choice without let or hindrance. The Supreme Court really has no credibility in these kind of matters.
However, although I have no desire whatsoever to burn US flags, or any other flags for that matter, I would imagine that people who wish to do so are protesting because they believe that the government of the day has betrayed the ideals of the new constellation of the American Revolution. The flag originally had 13 stars, but this proved to be unlucky and the flag has taken various forms before taking on its final version in 1960 with 50 stars.
A number of people predicted a Trump victory, some after the fact. Now, the narrative here is that this idiot represents mainstream lefties. To the contrary, he is a member of the Coalition of the Left Fringe group. There is a difference, similar to those who are mainstream righties and their extremist brethren, the Coalition of the Right Fringe group. But, it's easier to create fake news stories by both sides by calling out the radicals as being mainstream.Replies: @anonguy
Go read my comment thread starting in April/March or so and get back to me with anyone you can find that made as many accurate predictions as I did about the Trump victory, the particulars of it and why.
Literally, go find anyone in the world that made as accurate predictions as I did as well as not making wrong ones – Scott Adams, for instance, hedged himself on Trump several times, most notably after the Access Hollywood deal, which he said was mortal.
I said it was trivial because women love Trump who of course did great with women voters (as I had also predicted).
I said you guys should all get in prediction markets because they were wrong, various stuff like that.
Explained why polls were wrong, why Trump would soft pardon Hillary (done already), how he would disavow WN guys after election, pivot to center (done),
Tons more stuff in there.
Anyhow, do your homework before insulting me with your snide comment.
One of the problems with political correctness is that it forces people to hide their true feelings from the witchfinders.
That all said, the takeaway is still that the media lies, polls were fraud and so forth. Numbers for black voters etc weren't wrong because of random error; the pollsters committed fraud and made stuff up, same with Johnson/McMullin nevertrump numbers as a deliberate attempt to sabotage Trump. The whole msm was biased for Hillary, against all others including Bernie from the start.
Touchy, touchy. I never stated that you directly made this prediction after the fact. Regardless, you had a 50-50 shot.
"I said it was trivial because women love Trump who of course did great with women voters (as I had also predicted)."
42% of women who voted for him are not great numbers. They are respectable.
"Explained why polls were wrong, why Trump would soft pardon Hillary (done already), how he would disavow WN guys after election, pivot to center (done)"
We don't care.
Slate writers tell their families that they work in gay porn because its less embarrassing.

It depends on the motive for shredding the flag and whether the dog has been trained to do so. If the dog is a Siberian husky or Pekingese, I would be very suspicious. Probably this one is too hard for the average person to determine and requires the expertise of the Supreme Court.
Oh, I think he may be serious with the flag thing. What business does a naturalized Mexican (or any other dual citizen) have burning the US flag? Or waving the Mexican flag in protest?
The Democrat war on the white populace by importing votes was treason, and the way they shut down argument against this by crying racism reprehensible. Winding that back by shipping back the Dem naturalized citizens who give reason is a way to fight back and show some cajones.
The American flag represents Whiteness in the eyes of Mexicans, Chinese, Muslims, African Americans, etc that is why so many of them disrespect it.
Lets face it when you see the American flag images of people who racially look like Clock Boy do automatically pop up in your head.

You wonder how he ever got any work done if he was watching so many movies, but then I again, he didn’t play golf and Blue Lagoon will have taken his mind off 20% interest rates, the re-election campaign, the US Embassy in Tehran, and the legs of the wife of Lieut. Gen. Raoul Cedras of Haiti. “Mrs. Cedras was impressive, powerful and forceful,” he said. “And attractive. She was slim and very attractive.”
It feels awful to be bled alive until Trump gets inaugurated. It’s infuriating. Just wait until Hussein The Rottten’s pardons start rolling in. They will be eye popping.
Trump should give priority to booting these Central Americans out first. These recent arrivals claiming asylum. They are all coached to make up lies to claim asylum. Deny all their asylum claims on an expedited basis. Hire retired judges on a temporary basis to rule against them in rocket docket courtrooms.
What Hussein can do, Trump can undo but he must move fast and determined..
“But seriously, why do you still watch Fox?”
Because it’s the only news channel that has pro-Donald J. Trump people like Jeanine Pirro and Jesse Watters for example. Can you name any pro-Donald J. Trump people on CNN and MSNBC?
what would happen if you were to burn a Mexican Flag or the Israeli Flag...it seems you would face a hate crime charge. In my town they even arrest people for burning leaves in their yard, which was once acceptable.Replies: @Jefferson, @Anon
“I agree with you and it highlights the hypocrisy of the left that they support burning the American Flag yet are quick to label the burning of a cross to be a hate-crime.”
Anon hust said that he supports the American flag being burned. Did you mean to say you agree with Jack and accidentally clicked on Anon by accident?
The only legitimate reason to do so though would be to trigger authoritarians like Jack.Replies: @Reg Cæsar, @Jefferson
The Democrat war on the white populace by importing votes was treason, and the way they shut down argument against this by crying racism reprehensible. Winding that back by shipping back the Dem naturalized citizens who give reason is a way to fight back and show some cajones.Replies: @Jefferson
“Oh, I think he may be serious with the flag thing. What business does a naturalized Mexican (or any other dual citizen) have burning the US flag? Or waving the Mexican flag in protest?”
The American flag represents Whiteness in the eyes of Mexicans, Chinese, Muslims, African Americans, etc that is why so many of them disrespect it.
Lets face it when you see the American flag images of people who racially look like Clock Boy do automatically pop up in your head.
Say, Moshe, you have any substantive critique of the article Stan posted, or just “huge block of text, whatta loser!” grumblings?
I thought it was kind of a huge block of text myself, but, hmm, just how is it anti-Semitic?
You missed shouting fire in a crowded theater.
Desecrating a flag seems to me to be an act and not speech at all but what do I know? If your dog tears a flag to shreds does that mean that your dog is now capable of speech?Replies: @Jonathan Mason, @Hunsdon, @Anon
Yeah, but his arguments are generally specious.

Oh my god. Talk about projection.
You are the ome who wants to “play God” and punish people for desecrating a flag.
It’s an act which harms no one. You’re as bad as any 19 year old SJW calling the cops over a “racist” Halloween costume. Stay triggered, pussy. I’m going to burn a flag in your honor.
You want a fight? You got one. People of Color outnumber you 10 to 1. We control the media and universities. We will win the war if the cradle.

“To paraphrase Barry Goldwater: Absurdity in defense of the Narrative is no vice.”
There aren’t even any White Crooked Hildabeast voters there, let alone White Donald J. Trump supporters. There aren’t any White people period residing in South Central Los Angeles. So it’s extremely silly for that Black Muslim woman to believe she can walk out the door of her South Central home and a gang of White Trump supporters are going to spring from the bushes and beat her up. It should be illegal for her to have the right to vote because she’s so retarded.
I support the right to desecrate a flag for any reason.
The only legitimate reason to do so though would be to trigger authoritarians like Jack.
On the flag burning tweet of substantial moment, with some reflection that appears to be 4th dimensional Trumpian chess.
What are Trump’s opponents going to do to “get back at Trump”? They’re going to start burning flags en masse, and turning off all but the hardest left fringe of the country.
Wasn't it Voltaire who said "Lord, make my enemies foolish"?
What are Trump’s opponents going to do to “get back at Trump”? They’re going to start burning flags en masse, and turning off all but the hardest left fringe of the country."
The more the Left openly doubles down on their hatred of all things American and all things related to Whiteness the better. The Left is finally peeling off their masks to show the White American people the true monsters that they truly are, just like in the 1980s television show V.
I hope to God that Trump was just trolling people. If he was serious – even if only at the time – that doesn’t bode well for anyone on the freedom-loving side of the Right.
Didn’t Trump say that Snowden should be shot?
And probably they would not objected too much to having a somewhat younger and slimmer billionaire seize them by the pudenda, though of course they would not admit as much to their impotent husbands.
One of the problems with political correctness is that it forces people to hide their true feelings from the witchfinders.
For instance, at the present moment it's 24 F up there with 40 mph wind, thus generating a wind chill of -8 F. I believe that's at the visitor center at 9000-ish feet; the summit is another mile up.
The Leonids (mid-Nov.) from up there are magnificent, but you'd better wear your Yooper duds. And acclimate to lower oxygen. I could feel the Cheyne-Stokes kicking in at the VIS. ;D
Actually it's no joke; you go from sea level to 9,000 feet by car in about the time you'd normally ascend a mile of trail on foot and a couple hundred feet altitude.
Not that Tauheeda Shakur would think about anything of this sort. Astronomy being all racist and all....Replies: @Brutusale
I’ve driven my car to the top of one of the most dangerous mountains in the world.
http://www.allaboutravelling.com/top-10-most-dangerous-mountains-in-the-world/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Washington_(New_Hampshire)
Just as the giants claim the lives of unready mountaineers, 6000-foot Mount Washington has killed many an unwary day hiker unprepared for its instant changes in weather. They literally have to chain down the buildings on the summit; hurricane-force winds blow for most of the winter.
It has really degenerated over the years. Now it’s totally unreadable unless you enjoy inane SJW click bait. I drop by every so often to troll in the comments.

I think maybe it was *Mexican* Trump-supporters she was worried about.
Welfare underclass Mexicans living in gang infested South Central Los Angeles don't vote Republican. South Central Mexicans are all anti-White La Raza types who don't assimilate into mainstream American culture.
I comprise “ANTI-SEMITES!!!,” too. I’d eat you for breakfast.
I go in for who-whom vs. who-whom. In other words, the people who have pointed out it’s BS that burning a cross is a crime, but burning a flag is “protected speech” have a very good point. Punish flag-burners, or stop punishing cross-burners. Until the latter happens, I’m down with the former.
An interesting position. Supporting cross-burning would be far more principled, courageous, and perspicacious. Is that why you don’t?

My count of these stuttering episodes of Hussein's is up to three now.
Try and show some of Hussein's strength, Donald.
The left has spent the last year pointing at Trump and sputtering, "you dare? You dare???" They're still doing it. Yes, he dares. Move on,
lying whoresBig Media, move on.Unfortunately, Hussein put the USS Presidential Decorum to sail long ago (to join USS Presidential Propriety, among others). Hell, he just had lunch with the owner of Rolling Stone, who just dragged American journalism through the mud. I guess Walter Duranty couldn't make it.After being primed like this by 8 years of Hussein, nobody really cares any more. The time for libs to prove their worth has passed. P.S., most Americans are like Trump; they don't want to put people in jail for burning the flag, but they sure would like to punch them in the face, so they compromise by saying they'd like to put them in jail. Like most Americans, it probably makes Trump feel better to say so.You must have heard a different Limbaugh than I did. I probably tuned in a half-dozen times, during the election, and every time Trump was the topic, he was defending the nominee, and attacking Big Media & co. Or maybe I just got lucky.
Mentioning him in the same breath as Beck doesn't seem to make sense, as Beck was the opposite of Rush. Beck was waaay into the Never Trump camp, with that not-even-hack Megan "he insulted my War Hero daddy!" McCain.Replies: @Cagey Beast, @Je Suis Omar Mateen

What are Trump's opponents going to do to "get back at Trump"? They're going to start burning flags en masse, and turning off all but the hardest left fringe of the country.Replies: @Jack Hanson, @Anonymous, @Jefferson
There’s a hashtag right now where people post pictures of themselves burning a flag.
Wasn’t it Voltaire who said “Lord, make my enemies foolish”?
“Ever notice that whites are collectively guilty for Dylan Roof but Muslims are not held accountable when one attacks?”
Dylan Roof represents a whopping 197 million White Americans a number that is almost as large as the population of Brazil, but Abdul Razak Ali Artan does not represent 3 million Muslims in The U.S, a population that is smaller than the nation of Finland.
It’s okay to paint a demographic group almost as large as the population of Brazil with a broad brush but not okay to do it to a group who’s numbers are smaller than the population of Finland.
You know because 3 million Muslims are less monolithic than 197 million White Americans. There is way more diversity of opinion among 3 million Muslims than there is among 197 million White Americans.
My guess is that as the tastes of the white population changes wanting harder information, Fox will dabble with the alt-right in order to keep or pick up viewers. They are now competing directly with the internet 'fake news' and might have to up their game. My other fantasy is that an alt-right blog will be created producing their own show much the way the Wall Street Journal does, only this one would be interesting.Replies: @Oliver Ironside

For example, I believe that Obama knew that the ACA was a redistribution of the costs of health insurance from the middle class to the lower classes - that is to say that it would make health insurance much more expensive for those who supply their own whether as a benefit of employment or by direct payment while making it free or nearly free for layabouts of all kinds and colors. If you start from the proposition that Obama set out to make health insurance more affordable, it's obviously a grand act of incompetence (this perception bolstered by the abject failures of the ACA HHS website at the outset). However if you start from the proposition that Obama set about to knock the wide (white) middle down a peg and elevate the denizens of his base while creating chaos in the existing system that would motivate a move to single payer (equal health care for all), it was a spectacular success.Replies: @Je Suis Omar Mateen
“For example, I believe that Obama knew that the ACA was a redistribution of the costs of health insurance from the middle class to the lower classes [sic] – that is to say that it would make health insurance much more expensive for those who supply their own whether as a benefit of employment or by direct payment while making it free or nearly free for layabouts of all kinds and colors.”
You mean former President Powerbottom knew that RobertsTax was a redistribution of medical care insurance costs from the lower classes to the middle class?
Regardless, it didn’t work that way. Lower classes were already getting ‘free’ medical care paid for by the middle class via Medicaid programs (or Oregon Health Plan, as it’s called in my state), so RobertsTax provided them no new gibsmedats.
That’s why it will be easy for President Trump to repeal RobertsTax — only a miniscule sliver of Americans, those who actually work for a living but have preexisting conditions that prevent purchase of insurance, benefits from RobertsTax.
Powerbottom’s African IQ is too low to see the inevitable dialectical comeuppance of his poorly crafted welfare scheme.
However, although I have no desire whatsoever to burn US flags, or any other flags for that matter, I would imagine that people who wish to do so are protesting because they believe that the government of the day has betrayed the ideals of the new constellation of the American Revolution. The flag originally had 13 stars, but this proved to be unlucky and the flag has taken various forms before taking on its final version in 1960 with 50 stars.Replies: @Oliver Ironside
Lol, you shameless liar. You know who never burned the flag?
A patriot with reverence for the founders and their ideals.

My count of these stuttering episodes of Hussein's is up to three now.
Try and show some of Hussein's strength, Donald.
The left has spent the last year pointing at Trump and sputtering, "you dare? You dare???" They're still doing it. Yes, he dares. Move on,
lying whoresBig Media, move on.Unfortunately, Hussein put the USS Presidential Decorum to sail long ago (to join USS Presidential Propriety, among others). Hell, he just had lunch with the owner of Rolling Stone, who just dragged American journalism through the mud. I guess Walter Duranty couldn't make it.After being primed like this by 8 years of Hussein, nobody really cares any more. The time for libs to prove their worth has passed. P.S., most Americans are like Trump; they don't want to put people in jail for burning the flag, but they sure would like to punch them in the face, so they compromise by saying they'd like to put them in jail. Like most Americans, it probably makes Trump feel better to say so.You must have heard a different Limbaugh than I did. I probably tuned in a half-dozen times, during the election, and every time Trump was the topic, he was defending the nominee, and attacking Big Media & co. Or maybe I just got lucky.
Mentioning him in the same breath as Beck doesn't seem to make sense, as Beck was the opposite of Rush. Beck was waaay into the Never Trump camp, with that not-even-hack Megan "he insulted my War Hero daddy!" McCain.Replies: @Cagey Beast, @Je Suis Omar Mateen

That’s why I put Beck et al in parentheses — ‘the rest of them’ is a reference to rightwing yakkers utterly discredited by President Trump’s victory. The parentheses signify that Rush is not of that worthless group; though he still refers to Powerbottom as both idiot and evil genius.

“I think maybe it was *Mexican* Trump-supporters she was worried about.”
Welfare underclass Mexicans living in gang infested South Central Los Angeles don’t vote Republican. South Central Mexicans are all anti-White La Raza types who don’t assimilate into mainstream American culture.
Trump is much more entertaining and lively, because he defends himself, and he defends himself so well the Left freaks out when he hits them back. His aggressive attitude makes you think he's somebody worth defending.

Trump is sort of the antiBush.
He virtually never lets any attack go unchallenged, even trivial stuff. I think this is who he is, and it’s not going to stop. It has served him well so far.

As much as I despise O’Reilly (and I really despise him), it is possible that Megyn Kelley (“gyn”? really?) has become FOX’s most obnoxious host. Recently her show has become mostly devoted to selling her book and telling her life-story. If they want an attractive blonde host to anchor one of their shows, they have any number of other blondes to chose from who are prettier, smarter, and not nearly as obnoxious (if obnoxious at all).
FOX should also fire some of their other contributors too, such as Rove and Krauthammer.
What are Trump's opponents going to do to "get back at Trump"? They're going to start burning flags en masse, and turning off all but the hardest left fringe of the country.Replies: @Jack Hanson, @Anonymous, @Jefferson
“On the flag burning tweet of substantial moment, with some reflection that appears to be 4th dimensional Trumpian chess.

The more the Left openly doubles down on their hatred of all things American and all things related to Whiteness the better. The Left is finally peeling off their masks to show the White American people the true monsters that they truly are, just like in the 1980s television show V.
I made a greater number of accurate predictions than you, just in previous iSteve comments alone afaict, and I even called democratic primary races such as Bernie’s win in Michigan correctly too. Called way, way back when that only Bernie would beat Trump in November while Hillary would lose due to lack of old white voter support. You’re not even the most accurate person on this blog’s comment section.
That all said, the takeaway is still that the media lies, polls were fraud and so forth. Numbers for black voters etc weren’t wrong because of random error; the pollsters committed fraud and made stuff up, same with Johnson/McMullin nevertrump numbers as a deliberate attempt to sabotage Trump. The whole msm was biased for Hillary, against all others including Bernie from the start.
That’s the clickbait trap Slate fell into. In the short term the puerile headlines and articles get clicks, but they also do lasting damage to the brand. They’ve got revenue problems now–their sales force seems to have been fired or quit en masse.
SOOOO correct. I was out in the wilderness for a week, and, tonight, at home, on my pc, I see “panic” everywhere; sheeesh, fracking everywhere. God, this guy is insufferable. Tucker hung in there; I would not have had the resolve.

Maybe it made sense to a neocon, but I'd dearly love to hear an actual Israeli say what they thought of the whole thing. Seems to me Israel is less secure now than circa 2000, but what do I know?)
On a related note, our "liberal" media dutifully parroted whatever the heck it was they were told, somehow linking Saddam Hussein of all people to Osama Bin Lauden.

There was nothing wrong with Bush’s stance in the Terry Schiavo case. What was at issue was whether her husband (who by then already had a new live-in girlfriend), or her parents, should be able to decide her fate. Her parents had every right to demand custody be turned over to them. Her husband was a creep who sued for money to keep her alive, and then decided he just wanted her dead.

Watch you and the Left’s heads explode. Burning the American flag doesn’t offend you and the Left but burning the Somali flag or any other Muslim nation flag would because in your eyes and the Left’s eyes defending Islam trumps American pride. You and the American Left see yourselves as citizens of the world first and Americans a distant last.

Essentially, according to the Times, people in the West are becoming disillusioned with democracy and increasingly drawn to non-democratic ideals such as military rule. The United States not excepted.
However, as you read the article, it becomes clear that the generation more and more hostile to democratic forms of government in the West are the Millennials.
No mention, of course, that Millennials, in virtually every Western nation -- contain a far greater proportion of peoples from non-western societies -- societies far less supportive of democracy -- than the older generations.
So young "Americans" from Latin America and young "Britons" from the Islamic world don't much care for democracy. Goodness, what a shock.

“Flag burning has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with anti-Americanism. It is the perfect left-wing cause.”
The same college Millennials who are burning American flags are the same college Millennials who believe Donald J. Trump should be assassinated for inciting hate speech against Minorities.
These Left Wingers play cafeteria with the 1st amendment. They are not true constitutionalists, nobody on the Left is.
The same Leftists who support burning the American flag are the same Leftists who would consider it a hate crime if someone burned a bunch of Black Lives Matter t-shirts. They would say that type of hate speech should not be protected by the 1st amendment.
When you read a Slate article right now, in November, it has a little pop-up under-banner that says “We will fight Trump, join Slate Plus now” or “President [!] Trump has declared war on the press. Help us fight back” or “Slate won’t normalize [!!] Donald Trump. Help us hold him accountable.” Is this what it’s come to, converting your brand (formerly, Witty NY/DC Journalism) into the permanent-college-student rah-rah protester Greenpeace desperado niche? I realize online advertising sales have tanked. Certainly they are not good enough to support a yuppie op like Slate. Plus there’s fake news eating into the racket. But I’m surprised that they’ve discarded their old self-conceit so quickly to pretend to be MoveOn.org or Media Matters. It must be financially logical.
When Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post, from the Kaplan test prep company, did he buy Slate too? Looking at fare like this, why would he want it:
“Moneybox / NOV. 30 2016 9:16 AM / Trump’s Treasury Pick Promises Not to Cut Taxes on the Rich. Ha. Haha. Hahahahaha.”
I appreciate Jeff ain’t gonna clear that up for my benefit. Originally in the go-go Nineties the idea behind Slate was a glitzy lifestyle brand backed by “goodthink corporation” Microsoft; this was briefly tried with Salon as well. Now they are just embracing the witless enraged blogger thing.

Now contrast this with the Republicans. Trump has successfully reorganized the party around race, something which should have happened 20 years ago but heretofore had been thwarted. He has or will have put down any rivals so he should dictate the order of battle for the next 8 years. The Republicans just had their civil war and due to their relative homogeneity it was more of a coup.

It’s not that Trump reorganized his party around race, but that the Hillary campaign organized the Democrats around it in a way a lot of working-class whites found off-putting or alienating.
If Trump betrays the base and hands off his presidency to Pence / Romney / Ryan and doesn’t come through with the jobs promise, I don’t see them sticking around for long unless the Democrats truly continue to shoot themselves in the foot.

Suppose congress passes a law taking legal possession of each and every American flag by eminent domain. Existing owners would retain physical custody in trust. Destruction of public property is vandalism subject to the standard penalties for that crime. Existing owners could apply in writing for a $1.00 payment for loss of their right to publicly burn the flag they formerly owned.
Trump has already come thru with the jobs promises. Carrier announced yesterday that they are not moving all the jobs to Mexico as planned. They are keeping half of them here and getting some sweeteners from the gov but in the end it means that Trump has delivered at least part of what he promised. I think that’s how it’s gonna work from now on – it’s not going to be perfect but it will be a lot better than it is now. The train was headed for the cliff at 60mph and speeding up – day 1 Trump has it down to 30mph and slowing. That’s how it’s going to be on immigration and many other fronts.

US House Seeks Syria-War Escalation
Late in the day, on Nov. 15, one week after the U.S. elections, the lame-duck Congress convened in special session with normal rules suspended so the House could pass House Resolution 5732, the “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act” calling for intensifying the already harsh sanctions on Syria, assessing the imposition of a “no fly zone” inside Syria (to prevent the Syrian government from flying) and escalating efforts to press criminal charges against Syrian officials.
HR5732 claims to promote a negotiated settlement in Syria but, as analyzed by Friends Committee for National Legislation, it imposes preconditions which would actually make a peace agreement more difficult.
There was 40 minutes of “debate” with six representatives (Ed Royce, R-California; (((Eliot Engel))), D-New York; Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Florida; Dan Kildee, D-Michigan; Chris Smith, R-New Jersey; and Carlos Curbelo, R-Florida) all speaking in favor of the resolution. There were few other representatives present, but the House Foreign Affairs Committee stated that the resolution was passed “unanimously” without mentioning these special conditions.
According to Wikipedia, “Suspension of the rules is a procedure generally used to quickly pass non-controversial bills in the United States House of Representatives … such as naming Post Offices…” In this case, however, the resolution could lead to a wider war in the Middle East and potentially World War III with nuclear-armed Russia.
Most strikingly, the resolution calls for evaluating and developing plans for the United States to impose a “no fly zone” inside Syria, a sovereign nation, an act of war that also would violate international law as an act of aggression. It also could put the U.S. military in the position of shooting down Russian aircraft.
To call this proposal “non-controversial” is absurd, although it may say a great deal about the “group think” of the U.S. Congress that an act of war would be so casually considered. Clearly, this resolution should have been debated under normal rules with a reasonable amount of Congressional presence and debate.
The motivation for bypassing normal rules and rushing the bill through without meaningful debate was articulated by the bill’s sponsor, Democrat Eliot Engel: “We cannot delay action on Syria any further. … If we don’t get this legislation across the finish line in the next few weeks, we are back to square one.”
The current urgency may be related to the election results since President-elect Donald Trump has spoken out against “regime change” foreign policy. As much as neoconservatives and their liberal-interventionist allies are critical of President Obama for not doing more in Syria, these Congressional hawks are even more concerned about the prospect of a President who might move toward peace and away from war.
The Caesar Fraud
HR5732 is titled the “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act,” which House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Royce explained was named after “the brave Syrian defector known to the world as Caesar, who testified to us the shocking scale of torture being carried out within the prisons of Syria.”

In reality, the Caesar story was a grand deception involving the CIA with funding from Qatar to sabotage the 2014 Geneva peace negotiations. The 55,000 photos which were said to show 11,000 torture victims have never been publicly revealed. Only a tiny number of photos have been publicized. However, in 2015, Human Rights Watch was granted access to view the entire set. They revealed that almost one half the photos show the opposite of what was claimed: instead of victims tortured by the Syrian government, they actually show dead Syrian soldiers and civilian victims of car bombs and other terror attacks. The “Caesar” story, replete with a masked “defector,” was one of the early propaganda hoaxes regarding Syria.
One of the other big lies regarding Syria is that the U.S. has been doing nothing. Royce said, “The administration has decided not to decide. And that itself, unfortunately, has set a course where here we sit and watch and the violence only worsens. Mr. Speaker, America has been sitting back and watching these atrocities for far too long. Vital U.S. national security interests are at stake.”
Rep. Engel said, “Four years ago I thought we should have aided the Free Syrian Army. They came to us in Washington and begged us for help. … They were simply looking for weaponry. I really believe if we had given it to them, the situation in Syria would have been different today.”
That narrative is nonsense. By late 2011, the U.S. was actively coordinating, training and supplying armed opposition groups. When Muammar Gaddafi’s Libyan government was toppled in fall 2011, the CIA oversaw the diversion of Libyan weapons to the Syrian armed opposition, as documented in the Defense Intelligence Agency report of October 2012.
These weapons transfers were secret. For the public record, it was acknowledged that the U.S. was supplying communications equipment to the armed opposition while U.S. “allies” — Saudi Arabia and Qatar — were supplying the weaponry. This is one reason that Saudi purchases of weapons skyrocketed during this time period; they were buying weapons to replace those being shipped to the armed opposition in Syria. It was very profitable for U.S. arms manufacturers.
Huge weapons transfers to the armed opposition in Syria have continued to the present, with the U.S. government even more directly involved. This past spring, Janes Defense reported the details of a U.S. delivery of 2.2 million pounds of ammunition, rocket launchers and other weaponry to the armed opposition.
So, the political claims that the U.S. has been inactive are baseless. In reality, the U.S. has done everything short of a direct attack on Syria. And the U.S. military is starting to cross that line. On Sept. 17, the U.S. air coalition conducted a series of airstrikes on the Syrian Army in Deir Ezzor, killing 80 Syrian soldiers and enabling ISIS to launch an attack on the position. Claims that it was a “mistake” are highly dubious.
The assertions by Congressional hawks that the U.S. has been “inactive” in the Syrian conflict are part of the false narrative suggesting the U.S. must “do something” which leads to a “no fly zone” and full-scale war. Ironically, these calls for war are masked as “humanitarian” though even proponents, such as Hillary Clinton, privately have acknowledged that large numbers of Syrians, including civilians, would be killed in the U.S. attacks needed to establish the “no fly zone.”
And, never do the proponents bring up the case of Libya where the U.S. and NATO “did something”: destroyed the government and created chaos.
Fact-Free House of Propaganda
With only a handful of representatives present and no dissent, the six Congressional members engaged in unrestrained propaganda and misinformation.

Engel, said “We’re going into the New Year 2017, Assad still clings to power, at the expense of killing millions of his citizens.” Even if all the deaths, including Syrian soldiers and civilians killed by anti-government jihadists, were blamed on Assad, this number is way off anyone’s charts.
Rep. Kildee said “The world has witnessed this terrible tragedy unfold before our eyes. Nearly half a million Syrians killed. Not soldiers – men, women, children killed.”
The official text of the resolution says, “It is the sense of Congress that– (1) Bashar al-Assad’s murderous actions against the people of Syria have caused the deaths of more than 400,000 civilians…”
The above accusations – from “millions of citizens” to “half a million” to “400,000 civilians” – are all preposterous lies. Credible estimates of casualties in the Syrian conflict range from 300,000 to 420,000. The opposition-supporting Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimates the documented 2011-2016 death toll as follows: killed pro-Syrian forces – 108,000; killed anti-government forces – 105,000; killed civilians – 89,000
In contrast with Congressional and media claims, civilians comprise a minority of the total death count and the heaviest casualties are among those fighting in defense of the Syrian state. In the U.S. political world and the mainstream media, these facts are ignored and never mentioned because they point to the reality versus the propaganda narrative which has allowed the U.S. and its allies to continue funding terrorism and a war of aggression against Syria.
The Congressional speakers were in full self-righteous mode as they accused the Syrian government of “committing crimes against humanity and war crimes against civilians including murder, torture and rape. No one has been spared from this targeting, even children.” A naive listener would never know that the Syrian government is primarily fighting the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda including thousands of foreign fighters supplied and paid by foreign governments.
The speakers went on to accuse the Syrian military of “targeting” hospitals, schools and markets. A critical listener might ask why they would do that instead of targeting Al Qaeda terrorists and their allies who launch dozens and sometimes hundreds of hell-cannon missiles into the government-held sections of Aleppo every day.
The Congressional propaganda fest would not be complete without mention of the “White Helmets.” Royce said “We (previously) heard the testimony of Raed Saleh of the Syrian White Helmets. These are the doctors, nurses and volunteers who actually, when the bombs come, run towards the areas that have been hit in order to try to get the injured civilians medical treatment. … They have lost over 600 doctors and nurses.”
This is more Congressional nonsense. There are no nurses or doctors associated with the White Helmets. The organization was created by the U.S. and U.K. and heavily promoted by a “shady PR firm.” The White Helmets operate solely in areas controlled by Al Qaeda’s Nusra Front (recently renamed Syria Conquest Front) and associated terrorist groups. The White Helmets do some rescue work in the conflict zone but their main role is in the information war manipulating public opinion.
The White Helmets actively promote U.S./NATO intervention through a “no fly zone.” Recently, the White Helmets became a major source of claims about innocent civilian victims in east Aleppo.
Given the clear propagandistic history of the White Helmets, these claims should be treated with skepticism. We need to ask exactly what is the evidence?
The same skepticism needs to be applied to video and other reports from the Aleppo Media Center. AMC is a creation of the Syrian Expatriates Organization whose address on K Street in Washington, D.C., indicates it is a U.S. marketing operation.
What’s Going On?
The campaign to overthrow the Syrian government is failing and there is possibility of a victory for the Syrian government and its allies.
A heart-rending propaganda image designed to justify a major U.S. military operation inside Syria against the Syrian military.
A heart-rending propaganda image designed to justify a major U.S. military operation inside Syria against the Syrian military.
The earlier flood of international jihadi recruits is drying up. The Syrian Army and allies are gaining ground militarily and negotiating settlements or re-locations with “rebels” who previously terrorized Homs, Darraya (outer Damascus) and elsewhere. In Aleppo, the Syrian army and allies are tightening the noose around the armed opposition in east Aleppo.
This has caused alarm among neoconservative lawmakers devoted to Israel, Saudi Arabia and U.S. empire. They are desperate to prevent the Syrian government from finally eliminating the terrorist groups which the West and its allies have promoted for the past five-plus years.
“Pro Israel” groups have been major campaigners for passage of HR5732. The name of Simon Wiesenthal is even invoked in the resolution. Rabbi Lee Bycel wrote, “Where is the Conscience of the World?” as he questioned why the “humanitarian” HR5732 was not passed earlier.
Israeli interests are one of the primary forces sustaining and promoting the conflict. Syria is officially at war with Israel which continues to occupy the Syrian Golan Heights; Syria has been a key ally of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance; and Syria has maintained its alliance with Iran. In 2010, Secretary of State Clinton urged Syria to break relations with Hezbollah, reduce relations with Iran and come to settlement with Israel. The Syrian refusal to comply with these Washington demands was instrumental in solidifying Washington’s hostility.
Congressional proponents of HR5732 make clear the international dimension of the conflict. Royce explains, “It is Russia, it is Hezbollah, that are the primary movers of death and destruction. … It is the IRGC [Revolutionary Guard] fighters from Iran.”
Engel echoes the same message: “Yes, we want to go after Assad’s partners in violence … Iranian and Hezbollah forces.”
In words and deeds Israel has made its position on Syria crystal clear. Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren explained in an interview: “we always wanted [President] Bashar Assad to go, we always preferred the bad guys who weren’t backed by Iran to the bad guys who were backed by Iran … the greatest danger to Israel is by the strategic arc that extends from Tehran, to Damascus to Beirut. And we saw the Assad regime as the keystone in that arc.”
These statements have been fully backed up by Israeli actions bombing Syrian positions in southern Syria and providing medical treatment for Nusra/Al Qaeda and other armed opposition fighters.

I was also worried about it when Ryan tweeted these “good news”:
“Flag burning has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with anti-Americanism.”
I disagree
Flag burning has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with anti-America-ism.
There is a difference and given the actions of the US state, the latter is hard to argue with.
You are deranged if you think that comment was “antisemitic” (whatever that means), but of course you had no substantive criticism of its contents.
I wouldn’t care for Tiny, or might even find him funny, if he didn’t derail discussions with the many replies he’s getting. And often from otherwise intelligent commenters. Sad!
I would not worry about the people that Trump is putting in - I don't get the feeling that in a Trump run organization you can stick around for very long unless you are executing on the boss's plan. These folks will either get with the program or be gone.
The man hasn't even taken office yet so I'm willing to give him at least a honeymoon. He's gonna have plenty of critics on the left so he doesn't need any more on the right. Give the man a chance. Whatever he does will be a million times better than the disaster that a Hillary administration would have been.Replies: @BenKenobi
Perhaps it’s more of that “4th dimensional chess” — Trump’s choices all seem to be mostly insiders. This will initially allay the concerns of said insiders, but if they ever displease him it’s “you’re fired.”
He at least gave them a chance, after all.
Maybe, but in a few weeks, I’ll be younger than the President again. So will another 50-60 million of us, including Steve!
The most (literally) anti-Semitic comment I’ve seen in the past couple of years was Donald Trump’s proposal to keep out Moslems long enough for us to figure out what’s going on– which should be approximately forever. And I back him fully on this.
Democrats will continue doing what they’ve been doing. That is fait accompli. I wouldn’t call it shooting themselves in the foot. Things have been set up so that democracy matters as little as possible, and the backup plan for that is for the Coalition of the Fringes to swamp out the Great Middle of the country electorally. That hasn’t worked yet, but it’s a longterm strategy.
They’d have to receive “just compensation” when the state takes their flag property. You wanna pay that?
“Go read my comment thread starting in April/March or so and get back to me with anyone you can find that made as many accurate predictions as I did about the Trump victory, the particulars of it and why.”
Touchy, touchy. I never stated that you directly made this prediction after the fact. Regardless, you had a 50-50 shot.
“I said it was trivial because women love Trump who of course did great with women voters (as I had also predicted).”
42% of women who voted for him are not great numbers. They are respectable.
“Explained why polls were wrong, why Trump would soft pardon Hillary (done already), how he would disavow WN guys after election, pivot to center (done)”
We don’t care.
You want a fight? You got one. People of Color outnumber you 10 to 1. We control the media and universities. We will win the war if the cradle.
