We have been here before. Uncovering or peeling back slightly some of this Military Industrial Complex stuff. But here were are again in 2017 and we are increasing the DOD budget yet we outspend everyone else by leaps and bounds. House a nuclear cache that would make Truman wake up with wet/sticky draws. With economic ties to the world's largest country (China) and optimistic plans to mend fences with our only would be military rival: Russia. The same Russia led by the establishment and its grazing sheep's arch nemesis Putin who said in December ‘16:
“I was a bit surprised by the statements from some representatives of the current US administration who for some reason started to prove that the US military was the most powerful in the world,” said Putin. “Nobody is arguing with that.”
Whatever. I've always said even the most hardened and loyal Trump supporters aren't going to agree or like everything he wants to do. This is one for me. Remember Ron Paul? I would assume reallocate and streamline the DOD to fight the modern enemy. Not increasing WW2 esque models that are out of whack with the world over. But if that wasn't enough here comes the bumbling John McCain. Being old and senile is one thing. Still a prick? Check. But when you add total and utter stupidity/arrogance you have this trainwreck that has become the public life of John McCain: He said this week in regards to Trumps plan to raise military spending:
“With a world on fire, America cannot secure peace through strength with just 3 percent more than President Obama’s budget”
This is almost as insane as it is asinine. The would be like a convicted and freed serial arsonist bitching we don't have enough matches, lighters, flamethrowers and firetrucks. Then going on to say if we don't have more fire hydrants and water we will be consumed by said fire. And this guy chairs the Senate Armed Services committee. You're the fire chief dude. If you retire, like I've asked, the world would immediately become covered in coals.
Not to be outdone, McCain has some cohorts along for the guise. What up Cass;)
Just a quick look at Rep. Mac Thornberry’s financing tell you everything you need to know about why he might be so eager to expand defense spending and turn his nose up at a 50+ billion dollar increase with his buddy Johnny Mac. Let us take a look at Thornberrys top donators, see if we can get a clearer picture: Top 5 Contributors, 2015 - 2016, Campaign Cmte and Leadership PAC

As you can see, Thorberry’s top contributors is a ‘who's who’ in military contractors . If you dig deeper into his donors it paints a stark picture into what amounts to be a man bought and placed into power by the Military Industrial Complex. Thornberry is not just some random congressman either. Some rando, some 1 of 500+ elected officials who have the most crucial task in controlling the nation's purse. No, Thornberry is the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. Let that sink in. Here is a congressman who gets only 2% of his contributions from small donors, almost completely funded by the defense industry sitting as the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee on record saying a 50+ billion dollar increase from LAST YEAR is not enough.
With that in your mind, pause it and now enter in the fact that he is in legion with John McCain. John McCain at first glance when it comes to finance is clean in terms of his support by the armaments industry. But his ties are much more concealed or you could say, explicitly sinister.
This is the sitting senator who was rumored (by his own dumb ass twitter photos) to have met with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Syria across the Turkish border in 2013. Yes, that al-Baghdadi, the ISIS caliphate leader. Then POTUS Obama was said to be “eagerly awaiting word” of McCain's meetings. I bet.
Why would McCain be in in Syria LAST WEEK just days before the Syrian peace talks begin in Geneva? The same Syria where McCain not only supported the arming and funding of but met with anti-Syrian “rebels” or “moderates” or as I, like many people like to call them… “fucking terrorists”.
Its probably the same reason why McCain worked with Hillary Clinton and Obama to support regime change both with military might and “rebel” funding in both Libya and Syria. It's also the same reason why he never wanted to leave Iraq and favors putting boots on the ground still to this day. But dont take my words for it, leave it to fellow Senator Rand Paul (I stand with Rand in 2024 for full disclosure) to lambaste McCain in one of the most epic smackdowns I have ever seen and notice the media talking head try and catch Paul in anti-Trump talk after he crushes McShame:
I think Senator McCain's perspective is colored by his disagreements with President Trump on foreign policy. If I were to look at foreign policy, I would say John McCain has been wrong on just about everything over the last four decades. He advocated for the Iraq War, which I think destabilized the Middle East. If you look at the map, there's probably at least six different countries where John McCain has advocated for having U.S. boots on the ground. John McCain's complaint is we're either not at war somewhere, or if we're at war, we leave too soon. So we're not there soon enough, and he wants us to stay forever wherever we send troops.Everything that he says about the president is colored by his own personal dispute he has got running with President Trump. And it should be taken with a grain of salt because John McCain is the guy that has advocated for war everywhere. He would bankrupt the nation.
Now you have to ask yourself what would the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee have in play? Why all this perpetual war? Unlike his counterpart and fellow Trump citric in the house, McCain doesn't appear to have the same owners as Thornberry. Not that a cumulative $1.2 million in defense industry donations to McCain is nothing to sneeze at. And we won't take into consideration McCains and forever boy toy and pal Lindsey Graham's infamous anti-sequestration tour that was partially funded via defense contractor PAC loot. He's a bit more cagey than Thornberry (must be 30+ years in office?) who is unabashed in his servitude to the MIC, that much is obvious. But McCain?
His overlords wear funny hats and no I'm not talking about Catholic priests. They also happen to sponsor the most destructive forces in global terror the world has ever seen. The same country that spawned the 9-11 hijackers. It is also the same country who houses the High Negotiations Committee (HNC) or better known as the opposition in the Syrian Peace talks in Geneva. The same country who holds more oil reserves than anyone else. The same country who executes gays and treats women like a piece of pottery; shiny and bright when new and disposable when chipped or showing any signs of wear. That could be only one place… The Kingdom.
John McCains allegiance is to American imperialism financed and carried out by neoconservative principles with his biggest supporter on the other side of the globe. The Saudi’s extreme aggression in the form of Sunni Wahhabism sits well with McCain. And McCain has at least 1 million dollar check from his overlords to prove it.
Interestingly Bloomberg covered Mc’shady’s shady foundation (he says he has nothing to do with) last year a few times. Doubly interestingly they named Chevron and the like but forgot to include ‘Bloomberg Philanthropies’ in its reports. They donated 100+k to the pay for play foundation as well. And here we thought “Fake News” started after the DNC wikileaks expose.
What we are witnessing is something out of those radical 60's. It was that “new” Left that caught the establishments eye and took notice before Nixon was elected and before Woodstock was even an idea. It was that threat to the establishment that propelled those in power to take measures to curb their growing influence. Color, creed, veterans were no longer a divide. It was based on their unification of ideas. Ideas transcend all divisions. It shows up in the voter's booth. Hence now, the unification to Make America Great Again is a tent so unique and diverse it presents a similar threat to the establishment.
Blacks are starting to vote less Democratic.
Hispanics doubled their vote for a Republican President than they did in 2012.
Evangelicals and Christians strongly supported the MAGA movement
As did Independents
As did Libertarians
Even prominent gays are coming to the fold.
This coalition isn't the 40% you hear about on ‘the News’. It's everywhere in between coast to coast. When you present people with the issues it's not identity politics people identify with it's their country, their jobs, their security. This new loose collection of voters comprises the “new” Right. They don't show up in your polls and you cannot pigeonhole them anymore with usual terminology that divides and conquers. The game is changed. Ideas are starting to win again. And because of this its this “new” Right that is public enemy no. 1. We have seen many declassified operations over the years come to light, Operation Mockingbird comes to mind. But none were as frank and direct as the secret and now declassified FBI operation: COINTELPRO.
COINTELPRO was the catalyst to destroy the “new” Left. Without getting into the histrionics of its entirety, I will just cut right to the chase. This was from an FBI memo from 1968:
“Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers and neutralize them…”
You can find those words show up here in the Rage Against The Machine song “Wake up” from their 1992 debut or maybe you remember it from the end of the first Matrix movie.
In 1976 the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities of the United States Senate findings:
“Many of the techniques used would be intolerable in a democratic society even if all of the targets had been involved in violent activity, but COINTELPRO went far beyond that ... the Bureau conducted a sophisticated vigilante operation aimed squarely at preventing the exercise of First Amendment rights of speech and association”
Any and all obstructions of the 1st Amendment are these most serious threats to our Republic. But curiously it's happening at an alarming rate to “new” Right voices. You don't need isolated examples as the examples are pretty direct and in your face. Look at your cell phones news content. Listen to educators who teach your children and their union overlords. Flip on your television. Go to Burger King and watch CNN. You're being inundated with propaganda 24/7 if you don't know any better. Now about targeting specific voices...
We have seen Milo being banned from Twitter for calling a Black lady “an ape”. Yes, that Milo, a gay-Jew who happens to be a Conservative. Mind you any child with a Twitter can view hardcore porn. Even known pedophiles aren't barred from Twitter. Weird huh? We have seen the riots take place banning him from speaking (mind you as an invited guest) at a very liberal college campus.
Speaking of a child, a few weeks ago we saw him lose his book deal because he talked about men being attracted to 13-year-old boys. Not him but men. Was he advocating it? I did not think so, neither am I. Was it out of line or not tasteful, yes no question. However, there is a push by some in the MSM over the last few years publicizing an advocacy for pedophilia while simultaneously and curiously aren't reporting on all these sex trafficking busts under Trump.
"If I see another 45-year-old white woman from Williamsburg saying ‘black lives matter,' I'm going to punch you in the mouth. Stop doing that."
Are whites support welcomed or not? Can't keep track anymore. Depends on the day and the person I guess.
"I want to be in love. I want to do that, but it's 2017, and we got a pig in office. The world is about to end."
So, it's OK for her to call a White POTUS a “Pig” and her not be called an “Ape”. If we are getting into race territory a Black Ape is equal to a White Pig. Imagine if someone said the reverse while BO was in office? We would have riots in the streets.
Last year we had Gizmodo’s Michael Nunez break Facebook's not only bias but it’s outright thought control via its trending news team a team described as “a small group of young journalists, primarily educated at Ivy League or private East Coast universities, who curate the “trending” module on the upper-right-hand corner of the site”. And what about Google?
This isn't just here in the states either, recently Piers Morgan, an outspoken and unlikely supporter of Donald Trump was forced to step down as host of the Royal Television Society Awards, because of a campaign against him and his support for MAGA.
Gavin McInnes? Another “new” Right Conservative/Libertarian who supports Trump. He was assaulted and pepper sprayed for accepting an invitation to speak at NYU just a few weeks ago.
Now we have Tommy Sotomayor. He too, a “new” Right Conservative. A Black man who supports Trump and openly calls out Black hypocrisy. Now he might do it rather viciously but as Sotomayor says all the time “you play stupid games you win stupid prizes”. He was banned from Twitter last week.
This is a problem. This is targeted. That fact that we have this happening at the same time as seemingly uninformed “news” pieces coming from the establishment/legacy/authoritative/MSM media outlets is concerning. Whom seem to be in legion with one another. An entire media outlet, now the most influential medium now that Newspapers are dead is network news, Yet, a completely barren bench of Conservative voices or 90% of it anyway (hat tip to Bill O'Reilly).
This isn't hyperbole: free speech is dying. It is slipping away. It's been happening for a while but only the last few years has it become this obvious. Then we elected Trump and the media and the left are at DEFCON 5. Liberals are the PC champions; this erosion of the 1st is at their feet. Its their media, the traditional established/authoritarian/MSM media who is agenda/ratings driven is putting a megaphone to this nonsense.
All the while the Liberals are in self-destruct mode and embarrassingly racing one another to the furthest left trash heap fueled by identity politics and fringe social issues. It's the blind leading the blind and THEY’RE THOSE ONES DICTATING AND CONTROLLING OUR SOCIETY? Or maybe there is a bigger agenda here. Maybe the media and the liberals are pawns in a much bigger game? But that's another conversation for another day.
Unless you're advocating illegal violence, “hate” speech is still free speech. Regardless if you like it or not. Despite your sensibilities and fuck your feelings. Like the song says…WAKE UP!
John McCain, you had it all. Your story was an Americana wet dream. A downed naval aviator fighter pilot who survived two years of, what I assume would nothing short of hell, as a POW in Vietnam and an esteemed politician with numerous bill passed with his fingerprints on them. A man who even has a navy battleship named in his honor. You even ran for President and introduced us to Sarah Palin.
This is a storybook like a career.
If only the story is fiction rather than truth.
You were for amnesty before you were against it (politically convenient when facing a Tea Party Candidate for your Senate seat)
You once labeled your stance against torture “a defining issue” for Americans and the role of the Commander in Chief before you signed legislation to allow it.
You were involved and exonerated in regards to Lincoln Savings and Loan but we all know where there is smoke (at the tune of 3 billion) there is fire.

People called you a "Maverick". And you believed them. You have been an elected official since 1982. You're one of the longest-serving senators in American history. You have gone as far as to defend career politicians as “irreplaceable”. Of course, you would. U.S. Term Limits (USTL) offered you to sign the pledge to: “to sponsor a bill for a constitutional amendment limiting House members to three terms and senators to two. But you naturally refused.
"I think that the Flynn issue obviously is something that shows that in many respects this administration is in disarray and they've got a lot of work to do. The president, I think, makes statements (and) on other occasions contradicts himself”
"For the sake of America’s national security and that of our allies, I hope President Trump will put an end to this speculation and reject such a reckless course," McCain said in a statement Friday. "If he does not, I will work with my colleagues to codify sanctions against Russia into law."
Maybe that's because they told you to kiss off and REFUSED to help you or anyone else running for office. That seems rather ironic with Trump and his obvious interference from Russia. Or maybe they just wanted to back a winner? You know, BEFORE he rebuked you and your sad request. Wikileaks exposed your pathetic ass. Now what? Too bad Churkin didn't die a few years earlier eh Johnny boy?
What's to even suggest and wonder about your relationship with "The Kingdom". A boot licking extraordinaire if I've ever seen one.
(Source: Wikipedia)
You play up this war hero business still without realizing you have stayed too long. Your accomplishments will only be as memorable as your constant desire to broker power blocs in your various federal posts as well as some of the things I've outlined here.
I won't call you a RINO, traitor, whore or a sell-out. You're part of the old guard. You're an establishment relic. So you do not understand Trump. Or me. Or the "New" Right.
You were once the star of the Republican party. Now you a white dwarf. Your star is dead. Just going through the motions now. But don't get away mad ol' Maverick, just go away.
National Review ran a story on Wednesday, February, 15 regarding a professor from Georgetown University named Jonathan Brown, who gave a speech defending slavery in Islam. In his speech is was said by multiple accounts (Andrew Harrod who wrote about this 1 week ago and does fantastic work on Islam & Jihad) that he spent much time condemning Western Civilization slavery while exonerating slavery in the middle east where Islam is ramped. All this despite the fact that The West abolished slavery some 170+ years ago. Allow me to take this a bit further because as we all know the National Review does not have the guts to speak the entire truth.
In practice, Islam is a disease.
If you're a person of Islamic faith that doesn't make you a disease. It just makes your religious text you worship one. Now if you can't separate the two then well, the shoe fits.
The West was built upon Judeo-Christian values. I am not a Jew so I won't pretend to know Judaism. I will say however the New Testament was clearly a collection of books and accounts for the individual's relationship with his God. Not the church. The individual. That individual mindset and the ability to separate the two gave us the fertile ground for a Constitution & Bill of Rights. It gave us the power and confidence to have a Separation of Church and State and Freedom of Religion. Because the story of Christ wins on ideas.
Islam, on the other hand, is the religion built upon the words of an illiterate warlord who took wives as young as 6 years old. The very same book that is interwoven with almost 500 passages of rule of law and judiciary revelations. Following the Koran thus creates a problem if you live in the West. Like Prof Jonathan Brown (who supports Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel), It forces you to have to explain things like slavery and stoning a woman for walking at night alone and being raped; to a college kid in the US in 2017. But apparently, it's not that hard to do after all. Brown (who is white and was an evangelical) himself was converted at the very same university in 2010 by his Islamic studies professor. Consider the words of this Professor from Georgetown:
What’s the difference between someone who is captured in a raid in the steppes of Central Asia brought to Istanbul’s slave market, sold to an owner, who, by the way, might treat her badly, might treat her incredibly well. She’s going to bear him children. She’s going to be a free woman. She’s going to be the mother of his children. If he’s high status, she’s going to be high status. If he dies she might be a very desirable wife. That person’s situation? What’s the difference between that and some woman who’s a poor baker’s daughter who gets married to some baker’s son without any choice because no one expects her to have any choice? And that baker’s son might treat her well. He might treat her horribly.
When Jesus said to his fellow Jews: “Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is Gods” it put Jesus and the story of Jesus above anything man made. It did not attempt to set legislation or laws because those things are insignificant to Jesus. The Koran and its Sharia is about conquest and about rule of law mixed in with spirituality. This creates an impossible roadblock for the West at our most fundamental levels.
Jihadists sometimes refer to a group of “secular Muslims” and those are Muslims I support. If you're willing to stand up and denounce the Korans role in governmental affairs and laws much like a Christian can do here then I applaud you. But if not; do not call yourself a moderate. There is no moderate Muslim. Show me a moderate Muslim and will show you either an ignorant fool or a liar (Al-taqiyya).
How's it feel to be a Punk? Never in a million years would I ever considered that question as an adult but here we are. Strange, strange days. I grew up listening to classic punk but more than that I was into Hardcore NY City “punk”. Bands like: Judge, Sick of it all, Reagan Youth, Youth of Today... these bands were very political and very much liberal.
I grew up and realized eh, some of the music I loved simply doesn't agree with my political persuasion (Rage Against the Machine fits this mold). Doesn't mean I don't like the music anymore. Doesn't mean I don't still listen to this music. It just means I’m a logical adult. I can respect different ideas and opinions without losing my mind, getting caught up in my feelings, unlike: NeoLiberals It was the Reagan Youth who made a living off trolling Ronald Reagan. He was the establishment then. He represented an archetype of stuffy/wealthy success and a generation out of touch with the young punk culture of the day. It made sense. It sold a lot of records too.
Now we have seen the script flipped completely. My friends, we are no longer the party of stuffy/wealthy success. All those average white rural voters clinging to your guns and factories jobs and Bibles… that's us. Used to be Democrats. Used to be Union Democrats. Not no more.
All these white millennial males sick of being told to check their privilege. Tired of being told they were the beneficiaries and somehow responsible for someone else's struggle. Them too
Women not willing to ride that third wave of feminism as they know what we know & how that ride ends: face up washed up ragged and weathered on the shore, too old to bear children and too bitter to admit they were wrong. Women sick of being told their right to life isn't “woman” enough for them and their marches. That somehow they are lesser because they don't want to murder and self-mutilate themselves. They represent us as well.
Black women and men sick of being called derogatory names for refusing to live or support the Democratic welfare plantation. Being disrespected for thinking for themselves. People who want to work hard and raise their children without a preexisting excuse for failure. People who refuse to support a nefarious genocide that is Planned Parenthood. Or make excuses for the savagery that has become the inner city. Got 'eeem
Thirty years ago in the age of punk, It was the right that used to try and shut down concerts. It was the right that wanted the explicit warnings on records (with the lead assist from Tipper Gore of course). The right used to blow up abortion clinics. The right was who started the war on drugs. The right was the authoritarian shadow over culture; so rebelling was easy. But the Right took a Libertarian red-pill over the last few years... and now, that's all been erased & reversed. We are the new punk rock
"A minority dictating what's good for the majority"
Now it's the left and their SJW’s and AntiFas who are not only protesting free speech but rioting when they don't get their way. It's the left forcing opposing views to be silenced. It's the left who wants to force you to use certain pronouns because they want you to accept their transgender movement for something other than what it is (mental illness). There is now legislation passed in Canada and NYC for offenders who do not properly address the victim's gender, heaven forbids we would be “misgendering” them.
This is the new-left. The Neoliberalists. The Nihilists. This is the face of fascism & this is what fascists do. I just wish they didn't hide under those masks so much.
Being four years shy of forty, I never experienced the Reagan Revolution. I have only read about the particulars. I understand the financial stagflation that preceded the Gipper's emergence. I know about Paul Volcker's interest rate policies that helped fuel the record-breaking growth in the 80’s. The tax breaks and even the tax hikes. You can read all you want, hear second-hand accounts from respected and loved ones, year after year but to truly live it, to really feel the atmosphere… to taste the zeitgeist; it has to be indescribable or I'm just not qualified enough to suggest otherwise. But I am qualified. So, let me ask this mostly rhetorical question but still honest enough to punctuate it with a question mark… has there ever been a better time to be a Conservative?
I don't have to recap all the #Winning. You know the score. Even yesterday's Super Bowl was politicized. Props to Lady Gaga for not adding to it. Just like Trump, the Patriots won because they had the better ideas. They had the better coaching staff. Atlanta became complacent and made no adjustments before the momentum was too much. Even to a Steeler fan in Western Pennsylvania writing this, yesterday felt like the November 8th. But this analogy isn't the purpose of my point here.
The purpose of my point isnt about all the winning President Trump promised either. It's about the Zeitgeist of our present day. Where in 2017, in present day America you can be beaten for wearing a Trump hat. A political slogan and color can actually do this. Even the Swastika doesn't generate that resistance from the left (imagine that). Where embracing the rule of law over collectivists of racial rantings that are not backed by facts or logic. Police are not the Black man's problem. The Black man's problem is the Black man. Where feminism embraces Islam ... over the West? Where feminists now claim to be Muslims. HAHAHA. LOLZ.
This is a time where free speech is actually under siege by ironically enough, the same people who are said to be opposed to it. Those people who call themselves “AntiFas” or Anti-Fascists as they are called.Fascist demanding people to abandon their 1st amendment rights? That irony is about as good as it gets. And when these protests eventually fall flat on their face like they always do so begins the violence. I mean how DARE you someone of opposite opinion exercise your right to free speech at my public university. Mind you, we are talking about the FIRST AMENDMENT. Not the 2nd or 4th or 9th or 17th. There is a reason it was the first.
This is what happens when you have the logical high ground. This is what happens when people of sound mind put together their differences and unite for a bigger cause. The Republican party and Conservative movement were in tatters eight years ago. I was vocal about it. I am a Libertarian. I loathed the Evangelical voters. Probably the establishment even more. But I also would rather win. I didn't want WW3 with Russia. I didn't want a globalist agenda running my country.
When the media slants the narrative. When these young protesters abandon their liberal positions and embrace the very fascism so many are against it shows us and eventually, it will show them just what happens when you run a party or a movement engaged in politics based on emotions over logic. When you base your ideology on feelings and “fairness” over ideas and practical judgment.
These are the same Democrats who came out in record numbers for their anointed one but sat by cluelessly as their local and state legislators were engulfed in a sea of red under Obama's watch. What was the carnage under Obama? 980+ seats total? They don't understand they are impacted much more the closer levels get to you than the Executive branch but you can't blame them. They're ignorant willful idiots. And that's ok for now. They don't know what it's like to lose because even though they lost all those seats they had the White House… and now they don't and for the first time for most of them its a shock. They want a participation trophy but its adult time now. Kids get spanked and go to their rooms.
These Democrats are rioting and protesting everything from Black Lives Matter to Women's rights when they have all the rights men have to Transgender transitions transitional triathlon exclusion from the Olympics to the Groundhog day festivities a few days ago. We get it. You're sheep. You would rather be accepted than be logically sound. It makes sense. It's fact that logic doesn't fully develop until around the age of 25. (Editor's note: can't remember if that was a meme or did they really boycott and protest groundhogs day and quite frankly it would be more of a surprise if they didn't, so I'm not checking)
These positions and ideas seem stupid to us because they are. These ideas are from people who dont even pay their own cell phone bills fostered by professors and teachers who much like Hollywood; don't have to live in the real world.
And that leads me to this quote that we are all familiar with to a degree from a Frenchman named: Anselme Polycarpe Batbie (1875):
This says it all because logic takes precedence over generosity (couldn't hurt the French to dust off this quote) no matter the age. But age obviously dictates logic. Just like the revolutionary sixties where many people tripped for days fornicating on strawberry patches and raging against the machine in between every bong hit and at every sit in, across every Vietnam protest spitting and throwing rocks at their contemporaries. Those people all grew up. They became board members. They became doctors and lawyers. Republicans Neoconservatives and Reagan Democrats. So will these kids today once they escape academia and have to live in the real world.
However, until then… beat their asses. Rub their nose in their insufferable ignorance. Enjoy the #Winning. Daddy said we would be sick of it. What's happening is an initiation so to speak. So while we snicker as they cry and brag about their sad participation trophy that they sadly cling to THE POPULAR VOTE, remember who we are. Its week 3, 2017, and we are the Patriots at home vs the Dolphins and we are laying 13.5. RUN IT UP.
Some creature called Darryl Lynn Hughley or better known as DL Hughley,went on a rant this week regarding President Trump's 90-day immigration ban. This diatribe, while only three minutes in length, was all over the place and all those places were not good places.
Hughley doesn't hide his leftist leanings. He's ultra liberal and very critical of the right and white community. At the same time he's had his run in with his own ilk, so it's not like he's afraid to speak his mind regardless of how wrong or out of touch that mind may be.
Here was something I found astonishing:
“ISIS is supposed to be what we are scared of. The most dangerous thing in America is a white dude with an assault weapon and an attitude. If you wanted to really make America safer, you would ban assault weapons and not Muslims. What is more scary to you? A white dude that just got laid off with a gun? Or a dude reading a Koran?"
Now let's start out light. Assault weapons? What are assault weapons? How many white dudes who commit crime are doing so with “assault weapons”? Now, what about his claim about white dudes being dangerous along with said assault weapons? Notice how he follows that up with the talk of banning assault weapons but leaves out banning white guys? It would seem fair enough once is an inanimate object while one is a human being.
However, that's not the case because the very next sentence he points out banning Muslims doesn't make sense because they in Hughley's opinion are not the problem. Interesting he uses the word “thing” to describe the white man and the gun but doesn't include the white guy in his BAN DESPITE said white man being the most dangerous. Come on.
And yeah, reading the Koran can lead to suicide bombing. It does nothing for your argument when rational people hear this. Reading the Koran is like pointing out that someone reading Mein Kampf doesn't make them a threat. Of course it doesn't but in the wrong hands; that book and almost every religious book written 2k years ago can lead to things like.... Crusades. 9-11. Burning women as witches or stoning women in 2017 for being raped.
Just one minute later he doubles down:
“The most dangerous thing in America are white dudes… angry white dudes. Let's be clear.”
It's obvious DL Hughley is triggered here. But does that make him racist? I don't take the glee in making those distinctions. He is, however, a race baiter. A sensationalist in the mold of an Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. All bark with no bite (spoiler alert). All hysteria with no logic. A race hustling pimp. His illogical - partisan race baiting is so pronounced it would make Emanuel (reparations) Cleaver of the Congressional Black Caucus fame weak at the knees.
This is the same man who doesn't think Black on Black crime exists. No, he really thinks that. Despite places like Chicago, Baltimore, LA, NY... where the victims and offenders are almost exclusively Black; it doesn't exist.
"There’s more white on white crime than black on black crime…. crime is about proximity.. you hurt the ones you love because you are close to them … if you take any living organism and put it in a small space with limited resources it will kill anything around it… black on black crime a’int nothing but biology."
Now it's obvious DL Hughley isn't a deep thinker. He sees an FBI report, looks at some numbers and viola, there are more white people killing white people than black killing black people. That would be a valid point say if you lived in Flatland, where everything was in a two-dimensional reality. However, we live in a complex space and biology is rooted in mathematics. Just simple per capita data points out DL Hughley flaws.
77.35% of the US population as of 2014 identified themselves as White (including Hispanics who identify as White) or 246 million.
13.3% in America are identified as Black or African American.
Whites in this country are 6x the population of Blacks. So, for Whites to kill more than Blacks would not only make sense but it would be expected. And the numbers bear that. Whites do commit more murders than Blacks, barley but they do. Now if we are talking about the most “dangerous thing in America” there is nothing on two legs more dangerous than a Black person. More specifically a young Black male. Because of, Blacks, despite being only 13% of the population commit 52% of all homicides and 59% of all felony murders on record from 1980-2008 according to the FBI as you can see below.
There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups.
In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non-black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.
In 2013, of the approximately 660,000 crimes of interracial violence that involved blacks and whites, blacks were the perpetrators 85 percent of the time. This meant a black person was 27 times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa. A Hispanic was eight times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa.
In 2014 in New York City, a black was 31 times more likely than a white to be arrested for murder, and a Hispanic was 12.4 times more likely. For the crime of “shooting” — defined as firing a bullet that hits someone — a black was 98.4 times more likely than a white to be arrested, and a Hispanic was 23.6 times more likely.
If New York City were all white, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent.
In an all-white Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent.
In 2015, a black person was 2.45 times more likely than a white person to be shot and killed by the police. A Hispanic person was 1.21 times more likely. These figures are well within what would be expected given race differences in crime rates and likelihood to resist arrest.
In 2015, police killings of blacks accounted for approximately 4 percent of homicides of blacks. Police killings of unarmed blacks accounted for approximately 0.6 percent of homicides of blacks. The overwhelming majority of black homicide victims (93 percent from 1980 to 2008) were killed by blacks.
Both violent and non-violent crime has been declining in the United States since a high in 1993. 2015 saw a disturbing rise in murder in major American cities that some observers associated with “depolicing” in response to intense media and public scrutiny of police activity.
No reason to pile on, the case is pretty clear. Black folks, particularly young black men who might make up, what 2-55 of the population... are unequivocally more dangerous than a white man despite an attitude or any weapon he might have. He can denounce and ignore “black on black crime” as not being real but the truth of the matter is it's pure evasion on his part and others like him because when you look at the data it's black and white (pardon that glorious pun).
Now let me make an interesting analogy.
If Black folks commit such an exorbitant amount of violent crime despite such small numbers could it be reasonable for people to be leery of that demographic? Is it racist for police to be more cautious or leery of young Black males? Can you really blame someone from crossing the street at night to avoid crossing paths with said young Black men? It doesn't take a mathematician to figure this out, it just takes access to the local or national news.
I said earlier there is nothing on two legs more dangerous than a Black person. More specifically 2-5% of the population or aka young Black males. You care to guess what's “the most dangerous thing in America” on four legs?
Pit bulls
Pit bulls make up only 6% of the dog population, but they're responsible for 68% of dog attacks and 52% of dog-related deaths since 1982, according to research compiled by Merritt Clifton, editor of Animals 24-7, an animal-news organization that focuses on humane work and animal-cruelty prevention.
The correlation with Pit bulls and young black males is almost dead on and both highly disproportionate to their numbers of the US population in both dogs and people. There are people that will make the case that Pit bulls are only dangerous because they have bad owners. Pit bulls are good dogs in the right hands. Just like people on the left make excuses for the problems in inner cities with young Black males DESPITE the fact that before the 60’s under harsh conditions the Black community never had these problems. Remember, that was the days of the two parent household still - the Left has no time for that. Now, I know what you're thinking…. HE’S CALLING BLACK MEN DOGS.
That’s not it at all. I'm making the case that if you're going to go off hinge because you didn't like the election results and are triggered (still) then there is someone out there, despite being a nobody in terms of audience and notoriety is still going to take the time and check your ass. Because, I don't like being called dangerous without any empirical evidence to back it up; no more than does Darryl Lynn want to be compared to an animal that is bred to fight/maim/kill. Meanwhile, it was announced this week the gangs of Chicago want to meet with President Trump, while Darryl Lynn continues his SJW crusade fueled by false narratives and racial diatribes. This what it feels like to be winning again… 14 days and counting.
