Things Worth Pondering 4

This black Democrat is representative of part of the problem blacks face. Quote: "We all get forced to talk about identity politics a lot, but what is it, really? According to the dictionary, it is “a tendency for people of a particular religion, race, social background, etc., to form exclusive political alliances, moving away from the traditional broad-based party politics. In other words, identity politics is the philosophy of voting (or counting on votes) based on your cultural identity rather than the specific pros and cons of candidates."  And,  "The very idea that Kamala Harris would shun the phrase “identity politics” should speak volumes to the state of the Democratic Party. Trust that it sounds much better from her lips. Take a look."    https://patrioticviralnews.com/articles/democratic-senator-troubled-identity-politics-isnt-working-for-her-anymore/

Someone needs to explain to me why the political left socialist elites who launched the Muslim migrant program that is destroying the western world. The consequences are devastating. So that must be their purpose. Europe is in deep, deep trouble as a consequence of the migrant invasion and there can be no doubting that fact.  Sweden serves as a prime example.  Quote: "Many Swedes were horrified in early 2017 when U.S. President Donald Trump linked immigration to rising crime in Sweden, but an increasing number now agree with him. Amid soaring crime rates, gang violence, complaints about education, and pregnant mothers even being turned away from maternity wards due to a lack of capacity, resentment in Sweden has built over the influx of more than 600,000 immigrants over the past five years.  And tonight is one of the worst night for violence in recent history as police report multiple gangs of masked youths rampaging across three major Swedish cities, setting cars on fire in what seems like a coordinated action."   You have left of center leaders like Angela Merkle of Germany and our own former president Obama to thank for the Muslim led mayhem now visiting many western nations all of which is being coordinated by an anti-western Christian nations United Nations as well as left of center national leaders and unnamed leftist power brokers seeking a one world government with them in charge.  And, make no mistake our nation's Democrat party and their loyal left wing media are complicit on multiple levels.

Big Tech outfits like google, Facebook and YouTube are seizing control over the dissemination of information and cleverly trying to influence its meaning for readers. This piece gives us insight into the nefarious activities of these outfits who are seemingly increasingly losing touch with ethics.  Quote: "The lefty BuzzFeed News has a long article saying that YouTube is beginning to label videos related to the climate with a statement that the Earth is warming. Since this fact is not a matter of debate the labels are pointless. Since the videos from both sides get labeled the same, labeling is meaningless. The clueless alarmists think this is some sort of improvement. The label simply says this: “Global warming, also referred to as climate change, is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system and its related effects. Multiple lines of scientific evidence show that the climate system is warming.” In short the Earth is warming. I have logged over 700 YouTube videos that are skeptical of climate change alarmism and not one argues that the Earth is not warming. The debate is entirely about the cause or causes of this warming, human versus natural, and about whether or not it is dangerous, calling for action. If there is a serious video claiming that there is in fact no warming, I would love to see it. Alarmist Buzzfeed even shows the cover shot of a very good video by Professor Richard Lindzen, who is not only a skeptic of alarmism but also one of the world’s top climate scientists. Dick Lindzen nowhere says on this video, or any other, that there is no global warming. Perhaps Buzzfeed News should watch the Lindzen video."   And,  "There also seems to be a statement to the effect that skeptical videos are scarce compared to alarmist videos. This is a version of the consensus myth. My research indicates that there are well over 1,000 skeptical videos on YouTube alone. There may be that many alarmist videos as well, but I see no evidence that there are a lot more. There may well be a lot less. Thus as far as videos are concerned there is no hint of a consensus. This is no doubt because the making of YouTube videos is not controlled by the green establishment. In short the YouTube labeling of climate debate videos with a fact that no one disputes scientifically is pointless. It adds nothing to the debate and it certainly does nothing to reduce misinformation. It is at best a meaningless distraction, at worst an insult to real science."   http://www.cfact.org/2018/08/11/youtube-putting-pointless-labels-on-climate-videos/?

Leftists keep proving that they are not nice people. Those involved in delivering proof is expanding.  This is an accounting of a leftist who works for the Department of Justice harassed Trump's DHS secretary at a DC restaurant.   Quote: "A "Democratic Socialist" who berated Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen as she ate at a D.C. restaurant Tuesday night is actually an employee of the United States Department of Justice, the Washington Examiner reports. Allison Hrabar is a "paralegal specialist" at the DOJ's Washington, D.C. offices, but isn't worried about her job — even if she works for the very organization overseeing much of America's immigration enforcement. She told the Examiner that it "feels really good" to confront those responsible for arresting illegal immigrants at the U.S.'s southern border."  That is illogical thinking for a paralegal. What in the world does she think the word illegal means????    https://www.dailywire.com/news/32135/activist-who-chased-dhs-secretary-out-dc-emily-zanotti     There can be no question people have a right to voice opinions but this type behavior is off the charts.  People who do this have no regard for anything but their own opinion and that means they disrespect anyone who disagrees with them.  That is arrogance of the ignorant because they are unwilling to engage in civil discourse.  They just know they are right and those who disagree are wrong. No discussion required.  That is intellectual dishonesty and there is awful lot of that going around.

This UnHinged woman, Omarosa, is headed for one great big fall and even legal troubles that could ruin her for good.  People she claims know what she says is true have consistently called her out for pitching lies.  Facts emerging about her are sure to undermine her credibility. The people who know her from the White House say she was a problem child throughout her tenure. This item reveals some of the unhinged things she tells the mainstream media fake news crowd.  They are eating it up because it fits their invented Trump narrative to a "T".  So to them this well established liar is a "truth teller" just like they are. The real truth is that she is headed for that big fall as everything unravels, which is already happening.   As to her totally unbelievable words regarding Trump and Melania's relationship here is what Melania's staff has to say.  Quote: "So, what’s the simplest answer here? That Omarosa Manigault-Newman was Melania Trump’s closest confidant and just decided to spill all the details to inform America? Or, that Omarosa needs money and/or attention? Melania Trump speaks through her people, and they’ve made it clear just how they feel about Manigault-Newman’s book. The very fact that they issued a statement should be indicative of the fact that it’s false, at least by Omarosa’s rubric. After all, if Melania was so interested in destroying her husband, why issue a statement at all? This was a textbook example of how manners can disarm an opponent just as often as invective."    https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/melania-teaches-omarosa-a-little-humility-for-lashing-out-at-her-husband/?    This woman is proving that she is a low life huckster.  She apparently did not get along with co-workers and even liberals have bad experiences with her.    https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/clinton-staffers-omarosa-horrible/

Do you think the political left politicians and media types will try to say this is all due to Obama's policies as they have for most if not all of Trump's major accomplishments?  What a bunch of hypocrites they are.  Quote: "Small business owners’ optimism touched a 35-year high in July, with businesses setting records in terms of job creation and hiring, while they cited the availability of qualified workers as their biggest challenge. In July 2018, the NFIB’s Small Business Optimism Index marked its second highest level in the survey’s 45-year history, at 107.9 – just shy of the July 1983 record-high of 108. Records were set for job creation plans. A seasonally-adjusted net 23 percent of businesses are planning to create new jobs, while 37 percent of business owners said they had job openings that they could not fill in July."    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/fox-business-small-business-optimism-35-year-high/?   Obama's economic numbers were abysmal throughout his eight years in office.  The only reason his employment numbers looked good was because huge numbers of people were out of work and could not find jobs so they dropped out of the job market.  That meant they were not counted as being unemployed.  His numbers for those unfortunate people was the highest in history.  As were the number of people collecting money from multiple government hand out programs which meant they did not have jobs. Tax payers were footing the bill.  The political left needs to grow up and stop dispensing their awful and unjustifiable lies.
