WP: Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ attack leaves GOP squirming again

Yeah, your average American will be just so upset by this kind of language.

Washington Post: “The real estate developer has repeatedly invoked the 17th-century Native American figure to refer to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, alarming some Republican lawmakers just as the furor over his assaults on a Latino judge was beginning to subside.”

The other big story on the site right now is: “At Malia Obama’s graduation, the president turns into ‘just a total dad’”

Fair and balanced.

To Beat Anti-Semitic Trolls Online, Some Co-Opt Their Weapons and Mock Them

The Alt Right was devastated by this response. Absolutely devastated.

The New York Times does not bother to hear from the Alt Right on this story.

New York Times: The internet is full of bad people. This is not breaking news.

But in the past week, the anti-Semitic corners of social media have received increased attention because of sustained harassment campaigns against journalists and other public figures and a highly visible effort to combat them by Twitter users.

Jonathan Weisman, the deputy Washington editor at The New York Times, created a stir when he said Wednesday he would quit Twitter, where he had almost 35,000 followers. He was fatigued by a month’s worth of anti-Semitic messages and photos sent his way, an experience he wrote about in May.

Mr. Weisman said Thursday that he had left Twitter because he was frustrated that it allowed people to spew their hate anonymously and that jousting with the bigots had taken up too much of his time.

“But I did feel like it should be brought to the public consciousness,” he said. “People should know this kind of hate is out there.”

Mr. Weisman said Twitter suspended about 30 accounts shortly after he tweeted that he would be leaving.

The anti-Semitic strain of trolls gained renewed attention after Mic, a news site, reported last week that neo-Nazis were using parentheses as a way to target social media users for harassment campaigns. When they suspected that a Twitter user was Jewish, they put parentheses around the target’s name, essentially inviting other anti-Semites to attack them.

Soon afterward in a countercampaign, Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for The Atlantic, added the parentheses to his own name. That inspired Yair Rosenberg, a senior writer for Tablet Magazine, to suggest others do the same.

Now, a wide swath of Twitter users, both Jews and gentiles, has also adopted the parentheses, hoping to spread awareness of the issue and make it more difficult to target individuals. In an interview, Mr. Rosenberg said it would also allow more people to see the parentheses and ask what they’re all about, turning anyone into a potential educator on anti-Semitism.

He said the typical cycle of exposing bigotry — someone says a dumb thing, the target retweets it, other people get outraged — is a bit of a downer, and typically reaches people who are already aware that bigotry is bad. Instead, he prefers to mock the vile attacks he receives, hoping humor will help him find a wider audience and increase awareness.

“The only thing you can do is mock it, and show these people: ‘You are outside our discourse,’ ” he said.

Here Are 10 More Examples of Google Search Results Favorable to Hillary

Washington Beacon: “Crime” and “indictment” are not the only terms Google is keeping hidden from searches of Hillary Clinton, a Washington Free Beacon analysis finds.

Common search terms associated with Clinton appear to have been scrubbed from Google as the tech giant has been accused of manipulating its autocomplete results to favor the Democratic presidential candidate.

Matt Lieberman of SourceFed released a video showing examples of Google skewing its autocomplete results for Clinton, while other search engines simply display the most searched terms.

“While researching for a wrap-up on the June 7 Presidential Primaries, we discovered evidence that Google may be manipulating autocomplete recommendations in favor of Hillary Clinton,” SourceFed wrote. “If true, this would mean that Google Searches aren’t objectively reflecting what the majority of Internet searches are actually looking for, possibly violating Google’s algorithm.”

For example, when searching Hillary Clinton “cri,” Google finishes the phrase as “crime reform.” On Yahoo, the result is “criminal charges.” On Google’s own trend website, there were not enough searches for Hillary Clinton and “crime reform” to build a graph of the results.

Typing Hillary Clinton and “ind” gives Google users results on Hillary Clinton and Indiana. On Microsoft’s Bing search engine, a user gets Hillary Clinton and “indictment,” yielding results for the FBI investigation into Clinton’s private email server.

Just putting the name “Hillary Clinton” into Google, you are directed towards searches for her “twitter,” “email,” “age,” and “speech.”

Julian Assange: Google Is In Bed With Hillary’s Campaign

Speaking at a European journalism summit on Tuesday, Julian Assange claimed that through several outlets, Google has been working to put Hillary Clinton in the White House.

According to the International Business Times, the WikiLeaks founder told attendees at the “New Era of Journalism: Farewell to Mainstream” conference that “Google is directly engaged with Hillary Clinton’s campaign.”

American-Jewish Banker Elected President Of Peru With 50.1% Of The Vote

Comment: Is being president “a job Peruvians won’t / can’t do?”

According to Wikipedia: Pedro Pablo Kuczynski Godard (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpeðɾo ˈpaβlo kukˈʃiŋski ɣoˈðaɾð]; born October 3, 1938), better known simply as PPK, is a Peruvian economist, politician and public administrator who was elected as President of Peru in 2016.[1] He served as Prime Minister of Peru from 2005 to 2006.

Kuczynski worked in the United States before entering Peruvian politics.[2] He held positions at both the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund before being designated as general manager of Peru’s Central Reserve Bank. He later served as Minister of Energy and Mines in the early 1980s under President Fernando Belaúnde Terry, and as Minister of Economy and Finance and Prime Minister under President Alejandro Toledo in the 2000s.[3]

Kuczynski was a presidential candidate in the 2011 presidential election, placing third. His opponents Ollanta Humala and Keiko Fujimori went on to the June 5, 2011 runoff election, in which Humala was elected.[4] Kuczynski went on to stand in the 2016 election, where he defeated Keiko Fujimori in the second round.[5]

Kuczynski was born at the Clínica Delgado in Lima, Peru, the son of Madeleine Godard, who was of Swiss-French descent, and German immigrant Maxime Hans Kuczynski, who was born near Poznań and was one of the earliest public health leaders in Peru.[6][7][8] His parents, who were Jewish, fled Germany in 1933 to escape the Nazis.[9] He received his early education at Markham College in Lima, Peru, and Rossall School in Lancashire, England where he was a pupil in Maltese Cross House between 1953 and 1956. He won a foundation scholarship to study at Exeter College, Oxford, and graduated with a degree in politics, philosophy and economics in 1960. Later, he received the John Parker Compton fellowship to study public affairs at Princeton University in the United States, where he received a master’s degree in 1961. He began his career at the World Bank in 1961 as a regional economist for six countries in Central America, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
