This is a powerful must read. It addresses the fact that racism has
become a religion. The case made is a good one. Quote: "The religion
of racism is less concerned with actual racists, than with racial
unbelievers. The ultimate heresy, the one it’s rooting out with implicit
bias and extreme prejudice, is that racism isn’t everywhere. And it’s
not a burning national crisis that requires handing out unlimited witch
hunting powers. The theocrats of social justice prefer opposing views
to skepticism. The existence of racists reaffirms their belief in the
defining power of racism. It’s the skeptics of racism who are the real
threat. If you don’t believe that racism is significant, you challenge
their entire reason for being. And the religion of racism meets these
challenges by manufacturing a racial crisis as it strings together
anecdotal incidents from a Waffle House to a New York City apartment to a
student dorm to a coffee shop, to support its unified field theory of
universal bigotry and suppress skepticism about its powers. The
puritanical panic has less to do with fear of racism than the emotional
needs of the witch hunters. Informing on your neighbors, denouncing
fellow students and becoming the center of attention is emotionally
fulfilling for the same psychological reasons that it was for the Salem
accusers, the Parisian mobs of the French Revolution and the rampaging
Communist students of the Cultural Revolution." And, "The religion of
racism isn’t unique to America. But there is something special about it
in this country. It stinks of the soured beliefs of liberal religious
denominations, their loss of faith in God and man, and their growing
conviction that salvation lies only in wielding the unlimited power of
their governments."

Democrats
are angry that their very own past decision is now coming back to haunt
them. Quote: "Having escalated the judicial confirmation wars at virtually every turn since the 1980's, Senate Democrats in the early 2000's pioneered
a new form of self-interested obstruction to block a number of
President Bush's nominees to the federal bench. When Republicans
retaliated in kind during the Obama era, many of those same Senate
Democrats -- led by Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer -- voted to eliminate
the filibuster rule they'd exploited to thwart Bush. Detonating the
'nuclear option' was the latest ends-justify-the-means maneuver by upper
chamber liberals, to whom then-minority leader Mitch McConnell made this final plea prior to the fateful vote." They did not heed the warning and did what they wanted to do, anyway. So, "He added,
"you’ll regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you
think.” That warning fell on deaf ears, and Democrats marched forward
with their power grab. President Obama, who'd enjoyed a 99 percent
confirmation rate on his judicial picks prior to a partisan fight
breaking out over his designs to pack the DC Circuit Court, prevailed.
A flurry of post-nuclear confirmations allowed Obama to dramatically tilt the federal judiciary to the left, a development that was enthusiastically welcomed
by liberals. But as McConnell presciently foresaw, the proverbial shoe
is now on the other foot, and the American Left is looking on in horror
as President Trump and Mitch McConnell use the Democrat-implemented new
rules to confirm an avalanche
of young conservative jurists."

Democrat dirty tricks only work as long as they have power. They are
now going to get what they deserve, retribution.
Talk
about dirty tricks, Democrats used an experienced operative to spy on
Trump's campaign. with an interesting twist. The apparent spy is Stefan
Halper..."Quote: "The FBI Informant Who Monitored the Trump Campaign,
Stefan Halper, Oversaw a CIA Spying Operation in the 1980 Presidential
Election." He spied on Jimmy Carter's campaign for George H. W. Bush
while he was head of the CIA and running as Reagan's vice president.
Clearly dirty tricks are bi-partisan activities. Given recent history it
just seems that socialist Democrats are more passionate about dirty
tricks than Republicans.

This
is an opinion piece that endorses Trump's long past due move of the
American embassy to Jerusalem. During their respective campaigns Bill
Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Barack Obama promised to move Israel's
capital to Jerusalem but did not have the guts to actually do it.
Quote: "Trump is sorting allies, good-faith actors, plausible partners,
and evil regimes. He is radically disrupting the failed status quo. The
results are unknowable. But there’s a virtue in making the truth more
evident to the world." And, ""President Trump’s policies in the Middle
East are separating out who stands for what and with whom in that
tumultuous region. It is not yet clear whether Trump’s dramatic
initiatives will work and serve American interests and the cause of
peace. But one thing that can be said already is that moving the U.S.
Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal,
forging bonds with Persian Gulf leaders, and working with Iraq’s
military against the Islamic State all help put U.S. policy on a footing
of truth rather than make-believe, which is reason to celebrate. Moving
the embassy fulfills the promise Trump and his predecessors all made.
Keeping promises is a good thing, both in establishing American
credibility, and simply because honesty and reliability are virtues. The
embassy is also honest in a still more important way. Jerusalem has
been the most important city in Judaism for thousands of years; the
remains of King Solomon’s temple are still there, and it is
inconceivable that any solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict would not
include Jerusalem being the capital of the Jewish state. Accepting that
fact officially is the right thing to do. Realpolitik will always be
important to foreign policy, but falsehood is not a firm long-term
foundation for it."

The
mainstream media reporting on the violence that followed US transfer of
its Embassy to Jerusalem as in past cases of reporting lies, was once
again spewing pro-Hamas propaganda. They knowingly lied by claiming
Israeli killing of innocents. Nor did they report that it was Hamas who
incited the violence. Quote: "Hamas Admits 50 “Innocent Protesters”
Killed In Gaza Were Actually Jihad Terrorists - UN Holds MOMENT OF
SILENCE For Them." And, "Israeli diplomats noted that the UN never did
this when Israelis were murdered.” Of course, it didn’t. The UN has
for years been essentially nothing more than the official mouthpiece for
the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Once again it is doing
what it always does when Israel defends itself: condemning Israel and
pretending that the violent jihadis attacking it are innocent civilians.
Some might say that the UN held this moment of silence before Hamas
announced that the “innocent civilians” who were killed were actually
Hamas members, but it isn’t going to issue an apology today now that the
news is
out." https://freedomoutpost.com/hamas-admits-50-innocent-protesters-killed-in-gaza-were-actually-jihad-terrorists-un-holds-moment-of-silence-for-them/
