Terrorism, Genocide and Kamala's Childhood in Africa

By @ Sultan Knish Blog 

On the last leg of her African tour, Vice President Kamala Harris paid a visit to an otherwise unremarkable office building in Zambia. Her staff and local embassy personnel had spent a great deal of time looking for it and everyone was hoping it was the right place.

Kamala, with her Jamaican and Indian roots, needed a tangible connection to Africa to win over African-American voters and convince them that she was one of them. And everyone settled on the office building as being the next best thing because it was the former spot of the building where she had once stayed as a little girl with her Indian mother on a visit to her grandfather.

President Hakainde Hichilema welcomed her as “a daughter of our own country, someone who spent time here in her early years.”

Kamala responded by launching into a story about having visited “Zambia, Mr. President, as a young girl when my grandfather worked here” as “an advisor to Zambia’s first president, Kenneth Kaunda” to “serve as a director of relief measures and refugees.”

The vice president then began singing the praises of Kaunda, a brutal socialist dictator allied with the Soviet Union, who had banned opposing political parties and ran as the only candidate for president until he was finally ousted, and praised Zambia’s “democracy”. Kaunda, whom Kamala fondly recalled meeting with JFK and MLK “to discuss peaceful forms of protest” had demanded nuclear weapons from LBJ. Hichilema, who had narrowly survived being arrested by a previous regime, had nothing to say about Kamala’s fond memories of Zambian democracy.

Or the “peaceful forms of protest” carried on with nuclear missiles and terrorism.

But behind Kamala’s childhood time in Zambia and her grandfather’s work is a lot of blood, along with a horrifying and mostly forgotten story of terrorism, atrocities and mass murder.

P. V. Gopalan, Kamala’s grandfather, had been a member of India’s socialist Congress party which was aligned with the USSR. What “refugees” was he aiding in Zambia?

Gopalan was posted to Zambia from 1966 to 1969. Formerly known as Northern Rhodesia, Zambia played a key role in the genocidal terrorist campaign against what was known as Rhodesia before it fell to a brutal dictatorship and became known afterward as Zimbabwe.

Before Robert Mugabe spent nearly four decades ruling Zimbabwe, the Communist thug led a terrorist organization known as ZANU allied with another counterpart terrorist group: Joshua Nkomo’s ZAPU. Often wrongly described as guerrilla groups by their western supporters, their combat tactics mostly focused on massacres of civilians and planting bombs on roads.

Zambia under Kaunda harbored ZAPU and ZANU bases across the border where the Soviet-backed terrorists ran training camps under the guise of providing shelter to ‘refugees’. Some of the refugees were civilians who supported the terrorists. Others were terrorists themselves.The ‘refugee’ camps were run by ZAPU and ZANU which indoctrinated the civilians, brutally punished them for even slight offenses and made it their goal to turn them into terrorists.

In 1965, Rhodesia declared independence from the ruling Labour government in the UK which was determined to hand over the country to Marxist terrorist organizations. By 1966, when Kamala’s grandfather arrived in Zambia, the war for Rhodesia was truly underway.

The Marxist terrorists had plenty of weapons supplied by the USSR and Communist China, but preferred attacking Rhodesian civilians to trying to fight the brave little country’s volunteer army. Typical ZANU and ZAPU attacks involved firing RPGs at civilian houses and throwing hand grenades at little girls. Missionaries were murdered and shoppers were gunned down.

Among the easiest targets were American and British missionaries providing education and medical care to the black population. At Elim Mission, Marxist terrorists raped the women and then beat and axed them to death along with their children. The victims were British citizens.

The New York Times described the scene. “a woman, dressed in a bathrobe with her hair in curlers, had an ax imbedded in her neck. Four children—a boy 4 years of age, two sisters aged 4 and 8, and another girl of 5—lay huddled close together. All were dressed in pajamas, and like the other victims they had all been struck on the head with clubs. Some also had stab wounds. One of the girls had the imprint of a boot on the side of her face.“

“Nearby lay the body of a woman, her arm encircling her dead 3-week-old daughter. Near them was a heavy wooden limb with blood on it.”

The mother was Mrs. Joyce Grace and her daughter had been named Pamela Grace.

The Marxist terrorists finally got lucky and hit Air Rhodesia Flight 825 in the late seventies. The surviving passengers were rounded up, promised water and help, and then gunned down.

All of this came after Kamala’s grandfather had gone back home to India and Kaunda had decided that backing the terrorists was too dangerous once they threatened his regime.

There are few details about the exact role played by P.V. Gopalan except that he was advising the Kaunda regime on the “refugees”. The refugee camps were terrorist bases. It’s unknown what complicity her grandfather might have had with them, but he had been dispatched to Zambia the year that Indira Gandhi took power. And this Gandhi was no humanitarian.

Indira Gandhi aligned India with the USSR and its Communist movements including those operating in Africa. In the 1970s, while the worst of the violence was taking place, Gandhi had visited Zambia and backed Kaunda’s call for the takeover of Rhodesia by the Marxist terrorist groups. She had expressed her joy that she was “back on the mainland of Africa when the final battle was about to be joined” for the final ethnic cleansing of Rhodesia’s white population.

If P.V. Gopalan had been in Zambia to help prop up the Marxist terror groups, it would not have at all been at odds with the policy of the Gandhi regime. Indira Gandhi had met with both Mugabe and Nkomo: terrorists responsible for the massacre of Rhodesian women and children.

Were Mugabe and Nkomo among the visitors passing through the Gopalan home?

Kamala, who was a 5-year-old when her Marxist father and radical leftist mother brought her to Africa, knew none of this. As the LA Times put it, “the young Kamala was oblivious to the intrigue swirling around her, with Gopalan’s government-issued car whisking him to meetings with Zambian officials and diplomats dropping by for visits.”

But in the succeeding years, Kamala either failed to educate herself about the history around her or knows exactly what happened and has chosen to stand with Kaunda and his crimes.

According to the Voice of America, a government broadcast agency, “Zambia was personal, and the work of her grandfather — who served as an adviser to Zambia’s first president, Kenneth Kaunda, in the 1960s — influenced her own trajectory to the highest office.”

And so there may be no way to detach the crimes of those days from Kamala’s political career.

Especially since she heads a party that was directly complicit in the Marxist atrocities.

The same year that Flight 825 was shot down, Carter’s UN Ambassador Andrew Young gushed that Mugabe was a “very gentle man. I can’t imagine Joshua Nkomo, or Robert Mugabe, ever pulling the trigger on a gun to kill anyone. I doubt that they ever have.”

Nkomo had not only taken responsibility for the downed airliner, he had laughed about it.

Kamala’s radical third world family closely parallels Obama’s radical third world family. Neither of their experiences are rooted in the black community, but in the Soviet globalism of the sixties.

“I am a daughter of the civil rights movement,” Kamala Harris claimed. Her parents have been described as “civil rights activists”. These attempts to make her sound as if she were African-American are highly misleading. Kamala had not come out of a black southern Christian movement. Her family was not African-American, they were third world academic radicals who used parts of America and other places in the world as bases for their militant activism.

Kamala’s links to Africa are not racial, but political. Her mother’s radical Indian family was there as part of a Soviet bloc aligned agenda. While Kamala enjoyed being in an exotic place, 60 miles away at the border, people were fighting and dying over the supremacy of Communism.

The Kaunda regime, an object of horror for Zambia, Zimbabwe and Rhodesian refugees, is a nostalgic memory for Vice President Kamala Harris. And for many in her political movement.

Kamala and Obama both come from radical Third World families who loathed America and Western civilization. Obama’s family played a role in Islamist massacres in Indonesia and Kenya while Kamala’s family appears to have had a role in the Communist war against Rhodesia.

People are not prisoners of their past but the way that Obama and Kamala were raised provide important insights about their worldviews, their politics and their plans for America.

Racist pastor. Radical parents. Extremist views.

Will the Real Tim Walz Please Stand Up!

By Rich Kozlovich
 
Yesterday I published this piece on Walz's stolen honor, entitled, Duty, Honor, Integrity, Valor!, but that's just the tip of the iceberg of the character of Tim Walz, and that character isn't pretty.  So let's explore the other issues surrounding Walz in order to find out who the real Tim Walz truly is.  The one they're trying to whitewash, or the one who has a track record that's despicable?

The Democrat party VP pick process by the Kamala and her cabal was a mess, and since it was Eric Holder who was allegedly in charge of that effort, we shouldn't be surprised.  Far left, and big on dumb.   And Katie Pavlich says, look who's taking credit for Kamala's VP Pick.  The Democrat Socialists of America

There's a ton of dirt on Walz, some of which I'm going to cover today, and it's not going over well with Americans, and seemingly not with Democrats either.  While I don't believe in polls, this one is really startling, as it claims only 17% of Americans have a positive view of her choice.....that's a lot of Democrat discontent. 

Harris and Walz Go for Mainstream - These two radicals hope to fool America into thinking they’re reasonable.

Of course Nancy Pelosi, with her sharp intellect and uncanny rational grasp of reality assures us that Tim Walz, Kamala's radical leftist pick, is right "down the middle” of America, in spite of his view that the red states are nothing by rocks and cows.  Kinda like a Hillary's "deplorables", a slap in the face of vast numbers of Americans whose votes she needed, and didn't get.  While Minnesota isn't a "Red State" it is a sparsely populated agricultural state....full of cows and rocks.  Is that what he thinks of Minnesota also?

Then there's that brilliant political mind, that amazing reincarnation of RFK, Beto O'Rourke.  He told another mega mind, Jen Psaki, Texas could possibly be in play because... and get this.... because Harris and Walz are creating so much excitement the Democrats are filled with joy, and "electricity moving through the system."  So much so he thinks they have the ability to impact the down ticket so much they're going to take back the House of Representatives.  And of course, Jen was pleased as punch.   I wonder what he knows?  Is he in the voter fraud underground movement and has the inside track on their efforts?  Just a thought. 

But in spite of being called a coward by his military comrades, Bloomberg writer, Francis Wilkinson, claims “Tim Walz’s Masculinity Is Terrifying to Republicans",  as he's a Democrat gun hunting horse back riding Ronald Reagan.  Remarkable!!!! 

Well, over at American Thinker, where the word think actually means what says, Olivia Murray, says Walz’s alleged ‘traditional masculinity’ isn't a threat to Republicans and "In fact it’s the exact opposite—we despise him for lacking it."....... "So he totes a gun and wears camo? That’s called a costume, and it’s that charade that disgusts us." And that's the mild part of her commentary.  

Minnesota 

Spencer Brown reports that  Tim Walz is anything but ‘Minnesota Nice’ saying: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, now Kamala Harris’ running mate, is a harmless, folksy midwestern fella — according to breathless mainstream media coverage. To millions of Minnesotans, however, Gov. Walz and his alleged normal-guy leadership has been a big government disaster. Beyond growing questions about Walz’s military record — which he should answer with definitive proof or apologize for such disqualifying lies — the governor of the North Star State (frozen homeland of this writer) has a radical record he needs to explain.....

Minnesota Gov. Walz bans police training for 'excited delirium' - By Eric Utter June 8, 2024 -  According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, also known as the New World’s Pravda, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has signed a law prohibiting training for licensed police officers on “excited delirium.”You may well be asking yourself, “Say what?”Star Tribune: “Excited delirium usually refers to a person possessed by a potentially deadly form of agitation, sometimes abetted by drug abuse, and displaying aggressive behavior, profuse sweating, public nudity, mouth foaming and superhuman strength.”

Democrats Go Long on ‘Tampon Tim’ and Transing the Kids - Leftists are horrified that people might find it stupid to stock boys’ bathrooms with menstrual products.....

Minnesota, which has voted for these leftist nitwits for 50 years, but perhaps Minnesota isn't that pleases with Walz either.  

Minnesota House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth (R) called Kamala Harris and Tim Walz "the most extreme ticket in recent presidential history." She took Walz apart. 

Gov. Walz likes to tout his legislative achievements from the past two years of one-party Democratic control, but voters need to know the real story. The last two years featured some of the most extreme and irresponsible policies we’ve ever seen in our state: $10 billion dollars in tax increases, an unsustainable and unaffordable 40 percent increase in state spending, New fees on your online orders, massive cost increases for your Uber and Lyft rides, expensive and extreme energy mandates that will drive up the electric bills for you and your family, and even a gas tax increase that goes up automatically every single year!

She also pointed out among other things that Walz signed a bill "to give illegal immigrants free tuition, drivers licenses, and even health benefits, making Minnesota a magnet for illegal immigration" and let the BLM riots in 2020 get out of control, that resulted in all kinds of injuries, even deaths, and millions in damages before he was "forced to respond."

Then we have this bit of leftist brilliance,  ‘One Person’s Socialism Is Another Person’s Neighborliness’! Which Andrea Widburg says:

Tim Walz is the Id of the Democrat party, an open advocate for socialism and everything that comes with it: socialized medicine, an essentially nationalized economy, the end of the hydrocarbon usage that makes the modern world possible, a feminized military, a pro-Iranian foreign policy, a war on sexual norms and (by extension) on children, unlimited abortion, and racism. Always, always racism, including a drive to re-segregate America after all the efforts we made to desegregate it. That last point makes it incredibly ironic that one of Walz’s newly famous statements about socialism echoes South Africa’s “Architect of Apartheid.”.......

And he calls Trump a fascist who is a threat to Democracy, and yet supports Biden-Harris’s big 3 gun control policies. There's a reason for this old maxim: "You can vote into Socialism, but have to shoot your way out." 

Update, 8/14/24: Minnesota Grandma Jailed Over COVID Lockdown Warns Walz ‘Will Take Your Rights Away’ - A Minnesota grandma and former business owner who was jailed for defying lockdown orders during the coronavirus pandemic warned that Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) “will take” Americans “rights away.” In an interview with Fox News, Lisa Hanson, who owned the Interchange Wine & Coffee Bistro in Albert Lea, explained how after watching Walz allow businesses such as “big-box stores” to reopen while keeping “mom-and-pop” businesses shuttered, she decided to defy the lockdown orders and ended up serving a 60-day jail sentence and receiving a $1,000 fine.........

Antisemitic

Why didn't Kamala's cabal pick Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) for her running mate.  Well, here's one answer.  It was claimed a poll showed he wouldn't have helped her win the election, in spite of the fact he has a 77% approval rating in Pennsylvania.  Polls are really to be trusted....right?  

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who you might think would be the logical pick for a couple of reasons: he could help the race in Pennsylvania -- which Harris has to win to have any chance -- and he is more moderate, so that could help Harris seem more moderate.

Oh, no!  No moderates in the party representing "democracy" in America.  Or, then again, there's this possibility, just a shot in the dark mind you, but it's possibly.....just possible mind you..... there's are real stench of antisemitism controlling them party, and Kamala is an antisemite.  Both she and the party wanted a like mind as her running mate.  The fact of the matter is Harris and Walz deserve each other, as "Walz’s political career reveals the true him. Timidity and pandering are the hallmarks of his governorship."

Just a guess or course, but it does seem to be a strange coincidence she met with pro-Hamas activists at the disastrous Detroit rally where she made the announcement.   Does that seem telling to anyone except me?  Or you really believe there are coincidences in politics? 

After all, Shapiro may have embraced totally unacceptably favorable views about Israel's continued existence.  Imagine that.  Not to mention he's entirely too Jewish. Can't have that in a party that's younger members are getting more extreme by the day, and part of their extremism is the level of antisemitism they've embraced, which isn't inert or passive.

There are those who claim Jews are a spent political force with the Democrats, as Harris caters to Muslims in Michigan promoting an arms embargo to Israel, and Walz plays footsie with Hamas, and praised a Hitler supporting Imam as ‘Master Teacher’.   Nothing scary there....right?  What could possibly go wrong? 

Update, 8/14/24: News of Tim Walz Hosting Pro-Hitler Imam Gets Worse With Unearthed Footage - This article has been updated to include how even CNN has covered the scandal involving Walz and Imam Zaman. Last Friday, days after he was selected as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, it was reported that Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) had hosted Asad Zaman, an imam who spoke out against Israel on October 7 and shared pro-Hitler propaganda. While the Harris-Walz campaign claimed that Walz had no personal relationship with Zaman, a new report is out showing otherwise..........

Yet, what will we find after the election?   We're going to find America's Jews will still vote for the defenestration of Israel, and their continued abuse here in America.   Jews are arguably the smartest people on the planet.  They've also been the most successful ethnic group in history, in spite of the fact they've been abused, discriminated against, decimated, and done so for thousands of years.  I keep asking, how can they be so stupid?

China Connection

There's a China connection with Tim Walz, and it's one I don't understand, and it's a connection I think should be explored, and we'll come back to the issue of George Floyd.

Was Teacher in China at time of Tiananmen Square…Walz is also likely to come under fire from the right for two culture war issues he found himself in the middle of: expanding vaccinations across the state during the Covid-19 pandemic, and dealing with the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd, a Black man whose death at the hands of police sparked nationwide protests

Exclusive: Seven Troubling Tim Walz Connections to Communist China - Minnesota Governor and Vice-Presidential hopeful Tim Walz has an abnormal relationship with China. “No matter how long I live, I will never be treated that well again…it was an excellent experience,” Walz said upon his return from the first of many trips there. Walz claims that his Chinese hosts lavished him with “more gifts than I could bring home.”

Update, 8/14/24, 4:00 PM: I had stated in the article there was something odd about his China connection that I didn't understand, but it should be investigated. Well, apparently that was done, and guess what, if true, it ain't pretty and in my mind constitutes treason and potentially spying.  Schweizer: Tiananmen Tim Tied to CCP ‘Secret Police Stations’ in USA  Kidnap Critics of CommunistsTies between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) are becoming more alarming, with Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer revealing that the VP hopeful is connected to “secret police stations that the Chinese have here in the United States.” During Schweizer’s latest appearance on Breitbart News Daily, Walz was accused of being connected to a group called Minnesota Global that is allegedly tied to a secret Chinese police station in the Twin Cities:..........

Corruption

  • Judged Warned Tim Walz to Stop Lying About $250 Million Fraud by Somalis - Ramsey County District Court Judge John Guthmann in 2022 admonished Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) for making “inaccurate” and “false” statements in claiming he forced the governor to continue making payments to the scandal-ridden Feeding Our Future nonprofit, which is at the center of a scheme to steal $250 million from a coronavirus-era welfare program.
  • Past DUI Arrest Continues to Hound After Conflicting Claims - Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who emerged Tuesday as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, will likely face new scrutiny over a 1995 DUI arrest after court records emerged to suggest he had misled the public about the case.  Walz, who was living in Nebraska at the time, was pulled over for drunk driving. He eventually reached a plea deal and admitted to reckless driving. The issue surfaced in later political campaigns, but Walz said he had not been drunk......
  • Update, 8/15/24: CNN Hits Walz for False Claims About DUI Arrest in 1995 -CNN reported Thursday that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s 2006 congressional campaign lied about his arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) in 1995.... 
Wow!  And this was covered by CNN?  That goes to show that even a blind monkey can find a coconut once in a while, or then again, perhaps because they're going out of business if things keep going as they are CNN is trying to create a new image?  Nah, this is an anomaly, and even if it isn't nothing will save them.
 
Have no doubt, the riot the burned Minneapolis over the death of George Floyd, who was a thug, and he wasn’t murdered, falls right in the lap of Tim Walz, who would happily allow that to the rest of America, with support from Kamala and the Democrat party. 
Policies
 
There's so many things wrong with this man.  Unfettered immigration is national suicide, and he supports it.  Freedom of speech is the guarantor of a free society, he's against it.  Race hustling is destroying the fabric of America, he supports it.  Climate change, formally global warming until warming pattern stopped 25 years ago, is the greatest scientific fraud perpetrated on humanity since the Theory of Evolution, followed closely by the covid tyranny. 
 
Immigration?  
 
We own illegal aliens a ‘debt of gratitude’. As  Olivia Murray says: Only a progressive Democrat would argue that inferior cultures, rape, and murder are something for which to be thankful.
 
Censorship
 
To understand how extreme Walz’s leftism is, look at his take on the First Amendment August 8, 2024 by Andrea Widburg As is typical for all totalitarians, he wants to police “wrongthink” that challenges government power. 

Global Warming
  • Walz’ Climate Record Should Sound Alarms for American Energy Security - If mad scientists went to a secret lab to create a climate clone of Kamala Harris on energy policy, they’d be thrilled if the new handiwork ended up looking – and acting – like Tim Walz.......wants to decarbonize his state.......He signed a 100 percent carbon-free electrical standard by 2040, and tied his state’s emission standards to California’s. He did so despite the fact that nearly 70 percent of Minnesota’s current energy mix comes from traditional energy sources.  Now, Tim Walz wants to be your next Vice President, and bring those ideals to America at large......
  • Doubling down on climate dogma as Kamala Harris chooses Walz as sidekick  - Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, chose her successor, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, now serving his second term in the Gopher State.The climate religion is more rampant than ever in one of the two major political parties in the U.S., and no apostates are allowed. In that sense, any of the names considered by Ms. Harris would have been an on-the-record devotee to the issue. If you are all in on the climate agenda, you will not be disappointed with Gov. Walz as Vice President. America, beware. We warned in 2020, and we do so again.
  • Governor Tim Walz is a net-zero zealot - “Climate change impacts lives and livelihoods in every corner of our state…Minnesota will continue to lead the way in combatting climate change, and we’ll create clean energy jobs in the process. This bill is an essential investment in our future that will continue to pay off for generations to come.” ......
Race
 
Identity Politics - Bad for America, But Good for Democrats  - With history as our guide, if the elections were held today on a scale from 1 to 100, the Democrats would already have a 9 to 1 lead over former President Donald Trump. In our model, 10% would represent the Black vote and 90% would be the non-Black (predominately white) vote. This is not based on issues or records but solely on identity politics. Can this change?............
 
Update, 8/14/24:  
  • Walz Slammed for ‘Hesitating’ to Send in Guard as His Daughter Tipped Off Rioters via Social Media  - "To be clear, the national guard will not be present tonight."  Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was critical of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s response to the unrest in his city in May 2020, saying later that year that the governor hesitated to send the National Guard as the city burned in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. Frey spoke out about Walz’s response during an August 2020 interview with the Star Tribune, telling the outlet his office made multiple dire requests for National Guard resources to the governor that were not granted until after the city was forced to abandon a besieged police precinct ........... According to the Senate committee report, around the same time the National Guard was being mobilized and starting to arrive in Minneapolis, the governor’s daughter, Hope Walz, was given “access” to “confidential information that she then disseminated to the general public and rioters
It appears the entire Walz family suffers from a serious case of "weird".
 
Transgenderism
 
Tim Walz Signed Law to Strip Children of Parental Protections - Gov. Tim Walz signed a law that strips parental protections from out-of-state teenagers and children who claim to want irreversible transgender medical treatment in Minnesota. He also signed laws that install tampon-dispensing machines in K-12 schools to broadcast the state’s claim that teenage girls can choose their legal sex, and also a law that allows pedophilia to be someday legally protected under existing state anti-discrimination laws.............

The Democrats latest meme is that Republicans are "weird", really weird.  But the fact is with the exception of now disgraced RINO's, the Democrats almost have a monopoly on weird, and the 'Chief Weirdo is Tim Walz'.

 And Donald Trump says, ‘THANK YOU!’ to Kamala Harris 

  • Discover the Networks has this history of Tim Walz.  It's extensive, and it's not pretty.  There is not one corrosive, destructive, and far left Anti-America theme he's not embraced, including giving nuclear arms to Iran. Here,  The Real Tim Walz

Reality: Starting Place of Progress

Whoever swerves from the path of reality is irrevocably lost in the emptiness of illusions. – Zoltan Kodaly

By Anthony J. DeBlasi 

Radical progressives – not all of them are leftists – can’t admit, even to themselves, that beneath their professed ambition to improve the world is a passionate loathing of reality and grudge against nature. How, according to an argument they would agree with, can anyone tolerate such a cruel and unpredictable master as nature, doling out pain and pleasure with equal indifference and treating health, the means of livelihood, life itself, as playthings? The answer becomes clear when it is discovered and acknowledged that the givens of reality, including nature, are in fact the beginning of any journey toward progress, a beginning that triggers a release of freedom of action and of creative ener­gy that swings open doors of possibility perhaps never dreamed of.

For if life were free of friction, conflict, risk, constant challenge (conditions laid down by utopians), people would not be fully human but in a sense synthetic copies of humanhood - in other words, fake. Overcoming adversity makes people grow in strength and in health of body and mind. How can being committed to “a perfect future” – undeniably a good motivation for progress – help that goal by ignoring the world we actually live in? How can making mind and muscle grow flabby ever serve a good and noble purpose?.............To Read More....

Amazon Employees Allegedly Demand Business Cease in Pro-Life States and Allow ‘Time to Grieve’

Paul Bois

An open letter that appears to be signed by hundreds of Amazon employees has called upon the company to cease business in pro-life states among other demands. Shared by Libs of TikTok, the letter appeared to call upon the tech giant to take “immediate and decisive action against the threat to basic human rights with the overturning of Roe v. Wade.”

“As part of Amazon’s wide-reaching efforts toward a more inclusive and diverse workforce, we believe that Amazon cannot let this recent decision go unanswered,” the shared letter said. “We ask Amazon, the world’s best employer, to actively defend against this assault on our liberty.”

The letter then went on to propose a list of (often hilarious) ideas for how the company can better promote the cause of abortion, and though signatories admit that “some ideas bear a larger business risk than others,” they ultimately believed that these “unprecedented times” require the company to “think big to change the world.”................To Read More.....

My Take - One of the comments was:  

“Amazon Employees Allegedly Demand Business Cease in Pro-Life States and Allow ‘Time to Grieve’” Grieve for what? They obviously don’t grieve for dead babies, so they can go...... themselves - on their own time.  

Another said: 

"Amazon would save itself much heartache and frustration if they would fire all malcontents that signed onto this letter... any serious HR person would know that the people who signed this letter are the least productive and the most trouble."

This is a and Amazon needs to follow get it's head on right and realize that a good firing gets everyone else's head straight, and in this case, they need a lot of firings.  It's true Amazon is owned by a left wing loon billionaire, but he's finding himself on the dirty end of the stick with his employees and their pay, conditions and benefits, and he's going to find out, if he already doesn't realize it, once you give in to them, there will be no end to the demands of these leftist misfits.

Three Kinds of People: Can’ts, Won’ts and Wills

By Mychal Massie June 13, 2022 @ Daily Rant

Allow me to adopt a contemporary factualness to an age-old bromide. The old bromide states that there are essentially three types of people: The can’ts, the won’ts, and the wills.

I submit in the zeitgeist of today: the won’ts become media lapdogs fallaciously representing themselves as journalists; the can’ts become politicians and regardless of what so-called party they belong to, the end result is still the same, i.e., they and theirs get filthy rich – you and I get the shaft.  

As for the Wills: we are the ones who create industry and thus create jobs, and merchandise, we are the ones who are most likely to speak the “Truth “ of the Word of God.  There was a time that we were the ones who provided sound educations to children in classrooms and taught them to be proud American citizens.  Today, with very few exceptions in public schools the so-called teachers are commies, sexual deviants, and sexual predators who are only marginally literate in the subject they are supposedly teaching.

For the small handful who harken back to actually providing an education in the classroom such as I and those in my age group received growing up – you know who you are and please except my deepest appreciation for being the rare exception.

We witness the won’ts at every turn.  They are the providers of biased, yellow journalism and outright lies.  They are the demonic avatars dispensing the vilest forms of agitprop.  They “won’t” tell the truth if their lives depended upon it.  Their employment certainly doesn’t depend upon being truthful.

And for those who are inclined to disagree, I remind you of the number of NY Times reporters and writers who have been exposed for outright lies, including the complete fabrication of incidents that never took place.  Nikole Hannah-Jones isn’t the only pernicious falsifier of history celebrated by the NY Times.

Jason Blair may not be a wide-body with foppish red hair like a certain NY Times contemporary who is responsible for the fictional history called, The 1619 Project, but he is no less dishonest.  In the early 2000’s Blair made a name for himself by plagiarizing and fabricating a myriad of false articles and featured reports that were later exposed as completely false or plagiarized.  His punishment was a generous book deal, the completion of his degree, numerous television plots including: Law and Order, and a documentary based upon his life to mention but a few.

There was also NY Times best selling author, (cough-cough) commentator and journalist Judith Miller who was regarded as the victim of a hoax anthrax letter.  Imagine that, she wrote an inaccurate series of stories, inaccurate being the politically correct way of saying she lied.  Amongst other rewards for failure was a generous book deal for her memoirs.  The list of NY Times shoddy journalism is legion.

And let me not ignore CNN’s reporting.  Here see my September 3, 2018, syndicated article, CNN: All Lies, All The Time, which includes my reporting on Eason Jordan, CNN’s executive vice-president and chief news executive, chairman of CNN’s editorial board and member of CNN’s executive committee.  Jordan in an unsolicited revelation either boastingly or as an act of conscience cleansing revealed while he was the Iraq Bureau Chief for CNN during the Iraq War falsified reporting to maintain the good graces of Saddam Hussein; he also lied and secreted Hussein’s son Uday’s plans to murder two brothers-in-law.

Politicians are without equal as the can’ts.  They as a collective manage to accomplish nothing, then get elected and accomplish even less while raking in fortunes.  Talk about a nice gig if you can get it.  I do not count inheritance nor do I count the likes of Mitt Romney as examples of pre-election accomplishment.

The political equivalent of Sanford and Son’s, Fred and Aunt Esther, better known as Obama and the Obama woman, in addition to Bill and Hillary Clinton came into political office without a pot for micturition purposes nor the proverbial window to throw same out.  But in the time it took Bill Clinton to beat, rape and molest Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Wiley the Clintons and Obamas amassed massive fortunes that enabled them to purchase multi-million dollar properties around the country and depending upon who you talk to even the world.  Nancy Pelosi is the princess daughter of a Baltimore, MD, gangster.  So it stands to reason that she would be skilled at extortion and political corruption.

There appeared to be credible evidence the homosexual lover of retired Congressman Barney Frank, D-MA, was involved in a the operation of a homosexual prostitution service operating out of an exclusive elementary school in Bethesda, MD.  Maxine Waters, schemed her way to millions of dollars after entering politics with nothing.  From 1997 to 2017 congress secretly paid more $17 million in secret settlements for sexual harassment claims and many of us believe the secret payouts included payment for abortions of female staffers even though no documented evidence of same has surfaced as such.

Politicians are without equal when it comes to being can’ts.  They truly can’t accomplish a thing, but they have turned the ability to lie, deceive, ad nauseum with a straight face into an art form.

Those of us who fall into the category of the will’s are viewed as inferior life-forms to the can’ts and won’ts.  We’re those who want our guns, believe in family, and cling to our bibles.  We are the ones willing to risk everything to accomplish our dreams.  But the can’ts and won’ts curse us for daring to ask that they not impede our efforts to risk all to accomplish our dreams.

There are three groups of people.  Two of the groups are constantly insulting and assailing the one group responsible for the creation of everything worthy — unless you are of those who believe things like AOC, Ilhan Omar et al are actually working in the best interest of America. I would believe in unicorns before I’d believe the politicians and media and that includes FoxNews and NewsMax.

The Federal Judiciary is Not About the Rule of Law

If there ever was a time for a 28th Amendment to the Constitution to impose term limits on the federal judiciary, it's now.

By Rich Kozlovich

For weeks I've been watching these YouTube hearings on Biden's nominees to the judiciary, and other positions.  One thing, and one thing only seems clear from their answers:  They must have all gone to the same school of clabber as they started all their answers with "Senator, Thank you for that question", and then failed to answer it.   

Senator John Kennedy Asks One Judicial Nominee Same Question Nine Times, trying to get to her personal views on a subject, and still can't get it even after stipulating they would be fair and unbiased in their judgements, if they would just answer the questions asked.  He finally got an answer.  He asked what her favorite color was.  Blue.  And this pattern plays out over and over and over and over and over again.  Every one of these nominees were clearly leftist radicals, and one nominee Biden put forward was a Soviet trained economist he chose to be the next comptroller of the currency.

So, why would we think this latest nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, to the Supreme Court of the United States would be any less radical?  Any less leftist?  Any less destructive to the Constitution? Let's take a look at what's being said about Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Biden  claims she's a “proven consensus builder” and a “distinguished jurist.”  But he also said he want's a justice who thinks it's their job to "expand the meaning of the Constitution without constitutional amendments. President Biden stressed that his nominee must follow a "living constitution" approach, including a broad view of “unenumerated rights.”  Jackson has not answered that question.  The phrase to describe her view: "Obscure and conflicted", and at one point answered she "simply did not have experience with such interpretations as a judge."  Just as obscure and evasive as all these other radicals.

And former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has nothing but praise for her "intellect, for her character, and for her integrity, [which according to him] is unequivocal."  He went on to say, "I know she is clearly qualified. But it bears repeating just how qualified she is," ..... "She’s an amazing person, and I favorably recommend her for consideration."  I would think he would know as she's related to him through marriage.   But, how good are the tenuous views of this major RINO on anything? He proved his mettle while Speaker of the House and was found seriously wanting.  

Liberty Nation’s legal affairs editor, Scott D. Cosenza, offers his thoughts on Jackson’s nomination and how she measures up to the nation’s highest court saying: 

There is nothing about Judge Jackson’s history to indicate she will be especially impulsive or partisan. She seems well suited to the role of justice.......... I expect her to be a reliable vote for the left, as Justice Breyer would, and also deviate from partisan wishes when she believes they are wrong........Leaving aside the race and sex-based discrimination baked into her nomination, it’s that public defender experience..........

Well, let's take a look at her intelligence, integrity and character.

First off, I will stipulate a public defender is obligated to do everything ethical to defend their client no matter how contemptible their deeds may have been.  But while defending one of the terrorists jailed at Guantanamo she blatantly lied about the treatment of prisoner at Guantanamo claiming:

"Many of the most egregious interrogation techniques used in the Abu Ghraib detention center and other detention facilities in Iraq — such as the use of aggressive dogs to intimidate detainees, sexual humiliation, stress positions, and sensory deprivation — were pioneered at Guantanamo,"

This was investigated and it was an absolutely false accusation.  She accused them of performing heinous acts which never happened, and I can't believe she was doing that out of ignorance.  

Is that a preview of her character?  Her intelligence? Her integrity? And is she really well qualified? Or is this nominee a hard left radical, and is this a Wink and Nod nomination?  Let's see. 

Jim Hoft claims she's "a radical judge who has ruled many times against the Trump administration", but does that make her radical and unqualified?

  • She broke the client attorney privilege rule declaring "Don McGahn must testify to Congress about his time as Trump’s White House counsel"
  • "temporarily blocked the deportation of two migrants who claimed the Trump Administration’s new “lesson plan” for asylum officers makes it harder to prove fear of returning to their home country.  Her ruling was so radical that Acting US Citizenship and Immigration Director Ken Cuccinelli slammed the activist judge.
  • Judge Jackson also was accused of judicial overreach in American Federation of Government Employees v. Trump in 2018, when she stopped the Trump administration from implementing provisions limiting the ability of federal workers’ unions to collectively bargain. Noting that Jackson was a prospective choice for the Supreme Court, The Washington Post heralded the ruling as a major victory for unions. However, a unanimous ruling by the D.C. Circuit held that Jackson lacked jurisdiction to decide the case because the statute clearly mandates such challenges must be brought first in the agency process and that judicial review is then available in the courts of appeals.

This is her "sterling" judicial reputation? This is a judge that has been reversed by left wing judges, and it's clear she has been, and will be, guilty of judicial overreach, and who will overturn her once she's on the Supreme Court?  I wouldn't count on Roberts, Kavanaugh or Barrett. This is a Wink and a Nod nomination for a totally unqualified judge whose intelligence, character and integrity isn't unequivocal, it's all highly questionable.

The left and the media claim she's in the main stream, and all agree that she's the best choice, however, none of them can explain why, and if she's mainstream, that stream must be running through the center of Venezuela.  

Remember, they all claimed Merritt Garland (the now Attorney General who unreleased the FBI on parents protesting school board decisions) was a "moderate" also.   

 So, back to my earlier question: Why would we think this latest nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States would be any less radical?  Any less leftist?  Any less destructive to the Constitution?

We shouldn't!

There Is No Radical Right

There is no radical Right. And for Democratic Party voters, there is no mainstream Left, either. 

By December 29, 2021

Firebrand Tucker Carlson is the poster boy for the radical Right. His fans are far outside the mainstream.  They’re the “deplorables”: the alt-right, white nationalists, and so on.  Pragmatic politicians should pick positions halfway between Tucker Carlson’s and those of his counterpoise on the Left—say, Rachel Maddow. These middling positions—flowers across the land of the moderates; reeds across the still waters of the independents—will win elections.

That’s what many believe, anyway.  But why? The mere existence of polar opposites does not, in fact, imply a virtuous mean. Some people murder a lot of people. Some people murder no people. Murdering some people is not, however, the good or pragmatic thing to do.  .............To Read More.......

Racist Mayor: Chokwe Antar Lumumba

Daniel Greenfield  Fri Jun 18, 2021   8th in a series.

Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba ran for office promising to make Jackson, Mississippi, "the most radical city on the planet." The son of a radical father who had declared himself a leader in the Republic of New Afrika, a separatist black nationalist breakaway country located in Mississippi and four other states, Lumumba was eminently qualified for the job of radicalizing Jackson.

Even Lumumba’s last name came from Patrice Lumumba: a Communist black nationalist.

The Republic of New Afrika, a racist secessionist black supremacist terrorist group, had not had much luck getting Mississippi or even Brownsville, Brooklyn to secede from the Union, but Chokwe Lumumba Sr. finally managed to get elected mayor of Jackson. That was some years after the RNA’s plan to begin its secessionist racial republic in Jackson collapsed after a shootout that killed a local police officer and sent the president of the new republic to prison..........."I plan to make Jackson, Mississippi the most radical city on the planet," Chokwe Antar Lumumba told a cheering crowd while his supporters chanted, “Free the land!”  “By any means necessary,” Mayor Lumumba responded with RNA’s secessionist slogan, and concluded his speech with Karl Marx’s quote, “We have nothing to lose but our chains.”........

America isn’t suffering from racism: Democrats are. Racist Democrats destroy cities and then claim racism. They neglect the most basic services in favor of their ideology and blame racism. They wreck black communities, tout criminals, terrorists, and racial separatists, and then blame racism when the racism is looking right back at them from the broken pipes and bloody streets.

The “most radical city on the planet” is as infected with racism as with STDs.........To Read More....

Kristen Clarke: No ordinary racialist radical

May 29, 2021 — Paul Mirengoff

want to give Christian Adams Power Line’s last word on Kristen Clarke’s fitness to head the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. Christian, after all, has had the misfortune of dealing with Clarke (I have not). And Christian’s assessment of Clarke encompasses the issue of voting — something I did not discuss in my many posts about her.

Here is some of what Christian has to say about Clarke:

Clarke is no ordinary racialist radical. . .She brings a reputation for being racially greedy. I have some personal experience with her on this point.

In 2007, I was working on what would become the Voting Rights Act case of United States v. Georgetown School Board. I was one of the lawyers who spent many days in South Carolina investigating violations of the Voting Rights Act. Georgetown had a voting-age black population of 34 percent but the at-large elections for school board resulted in no blacks ever being elected to the nine at-large seats. While there is no right to proportional representation, in theory, blacks could conceivably have won three of nine seats.

Regardless, they had none, and in a school district where the students were almost majority black, this created a system that stoked discontent and lack of responsiveness. . . .

The plan adopted in a DOJ settlement agreement created three majority-black districts out of seven (two seats remained elected at large) where it was likely a black preferred candidate would be elected. . . .

The DOJ team got wind that Clarke—representing the NAACP—was shadowing the DOJ lawyer interviews in the field with local African-American stakeholders, disrupting the progress the DOJ was making and urging locals to hold out for four or more black seats. Four seats out of seven (or nine) would have been well in excess of the general proportion of the black population. Clarke wanted more black seats than the law would allow and was willing to disrupt a settlement that created three black seats where none had existed before.

Christian expects more of the same from Clarke, now that she has the power of the U.S. government behind her:...........Garland has personally vouched for Clarke as “a person of integrity.” But Christian points out:

Garland hasn’t spent much time around her. Lawyers at the Voting Section who worked with her characterize her as a brutish and uncouth racial activist. She seethed racial animosity toward whites (who were not liberals) and Southerners.

Biden Sets Everything on Fire

Ben Shapiro Ben Shapiro May 12, 2021
 
Joe Biden is the luckiest man to ever assume the presidency.  He succeeded an unpopular figure. He was inaugurated just two weeks after the dramatic storming of the U.S. Capitol by extremist Donald Trump supporters seeking to stop the certification of the 2020 election, which was also the beginning of the year after widespread race riots. He inherited COVID-19 vaccines and a vaccine rollout plan, and could rightly expect to ride the tsunami of natural economic recovery that was predicted for the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic; he inherited a series of historic Middle Eastern peace deals.

In other words, President Biden had it easy. All he had to do was nothing. He could expect a new era of good feelings emerging from a tumultuous time. He could expect a booming economy, a more peaceful Middle East, a solution to the pandemic. All he had to do was calm the waters...........Instead, Biden has served as a facade for the most radical administration in modern American history. And America is already paying the price...........

We're only four months into Biden's presidency. He's going for broke: He wants his legacy, and if that legacy comes at the cost of the economy, the polis and international stability, so be it. If the conflagration we've seen thus far is any indicator, Biden won't leave a lot standing when he's done.......To Read More.....

Biden Defense Secretary Orders Several “Immediate Actions” to Weed Out ‘Extremism’ in the Ranks

By Cristina Laila April 9, 2021 1522 Comments  @ Gateway Pundit  

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7917-1.jpg

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday signed a memo ordering several “immediate actions” to weed out so-called ‘extremism’ in the ranks. Austin signed this memo after he ordered military-wide “stand downs” to “address white nationalism” and rid the military of “extremists and racists.” 

  • Review and update the DoD’s definition of extremism.
  • Update servicemember checklists to include “training on potential targeting of service members by extremist groups and work with other federal departments agencies to create a mechanism by which veterans have the opportunity to report any potential contact with an extremist group should they chose to do so.”
  • Review and standardization of screening questionnaire: “To solicit specific information about current or previous extremist behavior. 1) To gather actionable information in the short term to ensure that only the best qualified recruits are selected for services, and 2) to clarify that any demonstrably false answers provided in response could form the basis for punitive action for fraudulent enlistment.”
  • Commission an Extremism Study: “The Department will commission a study on extremist behavior within our Total Force, to include gaining greater fidelity on the scope of the problem.”

Defense officials last Wednesday said the Pentagon is reversing Trump-era policies that banned transgender people from serving in the military.
