Perhaps. But the same can be said for black Dems. Not all black Dems are racist, but the vast majority of racists within the party are black Dems. And for the record, I refuse to accept the notion that blacks cannot be racist as is often taught in Universities. It’s gotten to the point that you can’t even say “blacks” without being labeled a racist too. FWIW, I’ve been told by several black men that they don’t identify with the “African American” label, and that’s going back years. They’re proud to be known as simply “black”. One of my superiors at work, after the subject was brought up, went so far as to say, “You’re not European American, are you?” I said, “No, because my ancestors are from Ireland.” He told me to wait until after 5 to drink, because … you know … I’m Irish. I told him to pull up his pants, because I don’t care what his underwear looks like, because … you know … he’s black. That’s the dialogue of people who don’t care about the outrage of either party over the subject of race.

All I see is “yeah that’s THEIR kind of jokes” type humor.

Well …. yeah.

And … so?

Why do people feel they need to police the internet for things that can (and will) offend them? I don’t think people really understand the /r/ community, and that’s understandable because it’s kind of its own anti-PC world where they can be politically incorrect. They try to out-shock each other, make ridiculous memes (again, for shock value), and are generally just being offensive for sport. That doesn’t freaking define anyone. I do it too.

For example. Just last night. My wife and I were sitting on the couch at about 7:00 and I started patting my pockets, started looking around on the floor, feeling between the cushions and stuff, and my wife says, “What’re you looking for?” I stopped, looked at her with a very serious face and said, “My freaking dinner.” She gave a quick chuckle and said, “Jerk. What do you want? I can make stroganoff.” About two weeks before that, I absolutely CRUSHED my finger at work and blew the nail right off. It was bothering me to no end for two days, and I was fiddling around with the band-aid complaining how it’s putting pressure on the wound, and my wife said, “Pussy. Try and push a human being out of your body.” I chuckled and told her, “Yeah, but then you get to sit on your ass eating bon-bons for the next 18 years.” She also laughed. Know why? Because she knows I’m not serious. It’s just humor. It’s not widely accepted humor, but it’s humor nonetheless.

Honestly, people just need to chill the fuck out about stuff like that. And Bannon’s ability to generate revenue for that website by hosting (and encouraging) politically incorrect commentary by the /r/ and 4chan communities is no more an indictment on his character than mine when I tell my wife to go fetch my dinner. So if you’re going to assault Bannon’s character, then assault mine too. Both of us will likely laugh at the notion and continue on with whatever it is what we wanna do. I’d also submit that his involvement with Breitbart will have NO bearing on his role as political adviser. He’s got an advanced degree in business (with honors) from Harvard and very good military experience. He’s not going to suggest to Trump that we roll back the clock to a bygone era and start suppressing women or rounding up Jews for slaughter. But that’s exactly what the alt-left is afraid of. And they combat it by dictating the rules of personal moral engagement.

Pshh.

Meanwhile I only even bring it up to expand the picture of what Bannon is all about.

Nah. I appears more like perpetuating a false narrative.

History Of NASA/NOAA Temperature Corruption

The animation below shows how NASA has altered their own data to make the post-1930’s cooling disappear.

The graph below overlays the 1999 and 2016 versions, normalized to the most recent common years in the 1990’s. It shows how the past has been cooled to create a fake warming trend.

NASA US temperatures are based on NOAA USHCN (United States Historical Climatology Network) data. The graph below shows the average of their measured temperatures in blue, and the average of their “adjusted” temperatures in red. The entire US warming trend over the past century is due to data tampering by NOAA and NASA.

The graph below shows the hockey stick of adjustments being made to US temperatures since 1980. This is calculated as the red line in the image above minus the blue line above.

The bulk of the data tampering is being done by simply making temperatures up. If NOAA is missing data for a particular station in a particular month, they use a computer model to calculate what they think the temperature should have been. In 1980 about 10% of the data was fake, but now almost half of it is fake.

And here is the smoking gun of fraud. The adjustments being made correlate almost perfectly to the rise in atmospheric CO2. The data is being tampered with to match greenhouse gas warming theory.

Evidence is overwhelming that the US used to be much hotter. Prior to 1960, the frequency of hot days in the US was much larger. The graphs below were generated from the same NOAA data sets used in the graphs above.

The areal coverage of hot weather in the US was also much larger prior to 1960.

i dont see why racism would be any ‘more‘ of an issue than in 2012 or earlier.

It’s not. It wouldn’t even be a talking point if Killary was elected either. Now, all you have to do is hint at it existing within the system, and all hell breaks loose. Dog whistle politics.

lol. That Garfield one was the best.

Freudian slip … much?
It was all that Catholic talk.

ME: I have dozens and dozens of quotes from prominent Jews (is it anti-Semitic to say Jew now?), including scholars on the subject who actually investigated this, endorsing Bannon and debunking claims of anti-Semitism. But I’m not gonna do it yet. I’m going to sit back wide-eyed and watch this all unfold in amazement. Well, actually, not amazement. This is becoming the norm now. It’s like the Kevin Bacon game. “I can tie [insert name] to [insert hate group] in less than 7 steps.” Providing a platform for something is not endorsing something, and it certainly doesn’t make you an anti-Semite.

Then, according to The Hill, there was the more recent article, written about Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, which he titled, “Bill Kristol: Republican spoiler, renegade Jew.” Some have argued, of course, that Yiannopoulos, not Bannon, should be the only criticized for these pieces (and, uh, to be clear, he totally should), but according to Vanity Fair, Bannon was behind Yiannopoulos all the way, and told the magazine, “did you hear about Milo? It’s great.”

lol.

David Horowitz (a Jew) wrote that article. A Jew writing about another Jew is not anti-Semitic, and it doesn’t make Bannon anti-Semitic by virtue of transitive property.

Horowitz: “CNN, which has been particularly vicious, did a nasty attack on Bannon using another of the thinnest reeds available: This was a headline at Breitbart.com calling Bill Kristol a “renegade Jew.” In fact, neither Breitbart nor Bannon is responsible for that statement. A Jew is. I wrote the article, which was neither requested nor commissioned by Breitbart. And I wrote the headline: “Bill Kristol, Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew.”

Joel Pollack (editor): “To be honest I was not happy with the article, David and I spoke about it and agreed to disagree, but none of it reflects on Steve Bannon.”

If they were protesting Hillary would you think the same way? If they were protesting “political correctness” would you feel the same way?

Yes. I was dreading it happening. I told my wife that if Trump lost, I hope conservatives take it on the chin and at least had the presence of mind to vote down ticket republican so there would at least be a majority in the house and senate to push back on and block some of her policies and appointees. I didn’t want them to protest a democratic election. It would have been embarrassing, because I know the kinds of idiots that brings out of the woodwork. So yes, I would have been against that. And imagine how the MSM would have covered THAT. lol. Trump’s redneck racist misogynist bigots spurn democratic process!

If they were protesting political correctness? I don’t know what that would look like. I mean, I’m not a fan of political correctness, but I probably would think it a stupid thing to take to the streets. Who the hell’s gonna change that? Who would even listen to it? Who starts a revolution over correct speech? I’m really trying to be open and honest about this, so I don’t know how I would react to that. I’d probably laugh at that too. I’m not against protests. I’m against stupidity and entitlement. I understand protests against war & tyranny. I understand the salt march and the million man march, and the Ferguson protests, and the outrage over Rodney King, and so on and so on. I don’t understand ‘Fuck Trump Steaks’ and ‘Sue the USA because the Electoral College is bogus’ and ‘He’ll put us in concentration camps’ and ‘SANCTUARY CAMPUSES!’. And again, I’m not trying to invalidate anyone’s feelings. I just don’t find it particularly useful, and it just seems like rampant entitlement. It’s also an insult to real protest and real heroes of causes like the self-immolation of Thich Quang Duc, or Gandhi’s hunger strike, or the guy squaring off on a tank in tiananmen square.

I’m not trying to be combative or harsh or morally superior or anything like that.
These are my honest feelings; and they have to be born of something.
Maybe that warrants a little more investigation or introspection. I dunno.

Thanks for posting. My wife got really upset tonight because of similar claims. I fired up the Smart TV and watched some YouTube videos to try and get a feel for what people were saying during these protests, and why they were so upset with the results. We (I) stumbled across a video wherein a woman outright bashed the women who voted for Trump because they’re too stupid to know any better, and they want to be victims of sexual assault by a child molester. My reaction was that of laughter, because it was so poorly articulated and stupid on its face, but she did anything but laugh. She was damn near incensed.

Hillary lost because she courted celebrities instead of speaking directly to the middle class’s chief concerns, she didn’t offer any substance, and she patronized virtually everyone. My wife, my sister, and my mother (all independents) gave very little weight to her email scandal. They felt was just willful disregard for the security instructions she was given because she fancied herself more important than anyone else who had to abide by those same instructions, and she considered herself untouchable. Her smugness was palpable too. My sister, in particular, actually felt demeaned and condescended by her. Her words.

Yeah its so stupid, monumentally stupid to think that Trump who has a daughter, son in law and grandchildren who are JEWISH would have as his closest advisor an anti-semite. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

That, and after years of the Obama administration icing its relationship with Israel and Netanyahu, not to mention sponsoring and emboldening Iran, why would Trump try to damage his already stellar relationship with Israel and Bibi in particular by hiring an anti-semite as his right-hand man? That’s not how you do diplomacy.

Sensory overload. What I’ve noticed over the past few years, or maybe longer – ever since the proliferation of independent blogs – is that it doesn’t take much for a rumor or false story to get promoted up through the ranks by other, “more legitimate” sites not taking the time to fact-check stuff. MSM is like the Rotoworld of news gathering & reporting now.

Steve Bannon, through his personal and business dealings has proven to be an anti-Semite, a bigot, a racist and a misogynist.

That’s a complete fabrication, and it’s being debunked by the hour almost. I listened to Alan Dershowitz yesterday, and today I listened to David Horowitz, and they’re both literally laughing at this lie of the left unfolding in front of their very eyes. It’s completely unfounded.

Ah, but Miami’s DC must suspect that Boras would know that so he clearly cannot choose to use presnap movement and disguised coverages.

Well played.
