Dem Senator Blames Trump For Dems Shutting Down The Government
Number of Anti-Muslim groups in US increased three-fold since Trump launched his Presidential campaign, say experts And so, of course, it’s All His Fault.

Several journalists and liberal activists criticized National Review author David French for allegedly consoling conservatives that if there was an attack on a U.S. city, at least only liberals would die.
The outrage obscured the fact that National Review never mentioned anything about politics, and hardly could be interpreted as consolation to conservatives.
The firestorm started after Newsweek posted a write-up of French’s article claiming the conservative National Review “is telling its readers not to worry about a potential nuclear strike because they live in America’s suburbs and countryside.” That article was reposted by Raw Story, which then made the rounds through liberal Twitter.
MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid found the Newsweek post and expanded the accusations, summarizing French’s thesis with a fabricated quote to her 1 million followers.
“We have truly entered the age of insanity when the conservative argument in favor of risking nuclear war is, ‘don’t worry, it will only kill Democrats and minorities.’ Shame on you, @DavidAFrench,” Reid said in a now deleted tweet.
She could just have said ‘We been wrong’ and left it at that.

Murders committed by white supremacists more than doubled in the US last year, accounting for the majority of extremist killings, according to a report.
Far-right radicals were responsible for 20 of the 34 extremist murders in 2017, said the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
Eighteen of those were carried out by white supremacists, who killed twice as many people as Islamic fundamentalists, the civil rights group’s Centre on Extremism said.
Eighteen. For the entire United States. Wow. What a crime wave.
Compare this to the murder rate in the city of Chicago: 650 in 2017, many of them black people shooting black people.
The deadliest extremist attack of 2016, however, was linked to Islamic extremism. Sayfullo Saipov, the man accused of killing eight people with a truck in New York in November, is said to have had connections to Isis.
But that didn’t rate mention in the headline, maybe because murders by Muslims aren’t really news.

Logan O’Laughlin, a gender studies graduate student at the University of Washington, conducted a lecture titled “Queer Toxic Ecologies: Analyses and Implications of the Pelicans of the BP Oil Spill” at the University of British Columbia.
The workshop description explains that oil-stained pelicans represented the massive impact of the BP spill.
“But what do these pelican images tell us about gender, race, and sexuality in ecological contexts?” O’Laughlin asked in the description. “Utilizing feminist discourse analysis of pelicans in post-spill popular media and historical analysis of pelicans as the state mascot of Louisiana, this presentation articulates how this bird is symbolically and materially implicated in a history of racialized, sexual violence.”
Something tells me this guy is ‘gender fluid’.

Paul Mirengoff of PowerLine blog finds that his bullshit alarm has gone off.
don’t know whether President Trump called any countries “s***holes” yesterday. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if he disparaged certain countries, as is his wont, and he may well have done so profanely.
If he did, and if doing so hurt America, then Sen. Durbin and others in the room should have kept Trump’s statement to themselves. No patriotic American would hurt this country’s international standing just to embarrass the president or in the hope of gaining a little leverage in negotiations (which, I’m pretty sure, Durbin has failed to do).
But patriotism has never been Dick Durbin’s long suit. During the Bush administration, he compared American soldiers to Nazis, Soviets, and Pol Pot. (See video below).

The chief advantage of the Wolff book for the DemLegHump Media is that it allows them to insult Trump under the guise of ‘just reporting on what the book says’. That will keep it popular until they realize that, no, it won’t ‘drive Trump from office’ so they jump to the next lilypad in the swamp.
It will be a best-seller for a while because there are a lot of people out there who hate Trump and this is $20 worth of confirmation bias, cheap at the price. ‘See! It’s right there in a book! Told you so!’ Ann Coulter has been riding the reciprocal of that wave for years. (Somebody get that girl some bacon. She looks anorexic.)
But in the long run it won’t matter. There were a spate of books that came out during Bill Clinton’s tenure about all of the chicks he boffed and claiming that the was running drugs through Mena while he was governor, and nobody remembers that stuff except for experienced haters like myself. Certainly Millenials won’t; when something scrolls off of their Twitter feed it falls right in the Memory Hole.
This whole effort, on Wolff’s part and the DemLegHump Media’s part, is still an attempt to play football while Trump is playing Call of Duty. Career politicians, even those who came late to the game like the Blessed Ronald Reagan, work within a structure where certain people’s opinions count and other people’s opinion’s don’t, and on that playing field the Democrats have been running downhill since Roosevelt.
Trump doesn’t know and doesn’t care what the Career Politician Thing To Do is. Those are conditioned reflexes that he never developed. He would make a great Bond Villain — you can never believe what you hear and only half of what you see, and whenever he offers to hold the football so you can kick it (as he did during the DACA meeting) it’s usually a good idea to give it a second thought. Watch the movie Where Eagles Dare if you want to know how things are going to develop these next three years. (Hint: Trump is played by Richard Burton. I’m hoping that Republicans can be as quick on the uptake as Clint Eastwood but I’m not optimistic.)
I have to agree with Scott Adams that the next President will be the biggest let-down imaginable; Trump is going to be an impossible act to follow.

And that’s the worst kind of racism there is!
An Asian American Studies professor at the University of Illinois says that interactions between Asian American students and international Asian students carries the risk of reinforcing so-called “colorblind racism.” Soo Ah Kwon says that students reinforce that form of racism in their attempts to reach out to their international counterparts.
I am not making this up.
“We problematize this schema not only because it places undue responsibility upon Asian American students but [because] it also renders the experiences of racial marginalization and discrimination invisible for international and domestic racial minority students,” writes Kwon.
God forbid that a schema go unproblematized. Women and minorities hardest hit, etc. etc.
Kwon says “colorblind racism” happens when people do not take race into account when confronting issues, which she argues is problematic because it ignores “structures of power that privileges whiteness and white supremacy.”
All racism, all the time. Got it. Martin Luther King got suckered by that one, obviously.

All of which is irrelevant, because they’re asking for an increase in ordinary income tax rates, and none of them make their money as wages or other ordinary income.
The reason Warren Buffet pays a lower tax rate than his secretary is because his money comes from capital gains from the sale of stock.
If you tax a guy who’s making a million a year at 90%, he still nets $100,000; if you do the same for somebody making $100,000, he winds up with $10,000. Rich people don’t care how much the income tax rate is because they never notice it — it’s all numbers on the page to them. What it DOES do is hit the almost-millionaires; you know, the guys who, if they have some money in their pocket, might be competing with a Patriotic Millionaire for a seat at a tony restaurant or a lift ticket at Aspen or a slot at a Monaco marina.
Of course, if they REALLY WANTED TO PAY MORE TAX, they could just send a check to the IRS. I’m sure the Treasury would be happy to get it. But they never do that, do they? So it’s not just that they’re not taxed enough, it’s that EVERYBODY isn’t taxed enough. (See explanation above.)
