Washington Post: “They are sisters and daughters of the enemies who attacked Pearl Harbor. They married the soldiers who occupied their defeated country and came to the United States. And then? They disappeared into America.”
Women have fewer tribal and national loyalties than men.
Is every black male shot by police "trying to turn their life around"???
What does that tell you about their choices prior to being shot? pic.twitter.com/xh712NZSY5— Paul Kersey (@sbpdl) September 22, 2016
I did a Google search on “aspiring rapper” and found:
First result. Urban Dictionary:
North American euphemism for a member of the urban criminal class. This unusual occupation is usually mentioned in conjunction with the subject either being slain or being taken into custody for a violent or property-related crime. A relative of the subject usually points out that the subjects demise or incarceration comes at an extremely inopportune moment, ocurring just as they subject was “turning they(sic) life around.”

* Roger Kimball writes: An hour or two ago, I posted through Twitter a link to “The Mulish Stupidity of Clinton-Obama Counterterrorism,” Andrew McCarthy’s incisive essay on the subject named in his title. A reader sent me a notice that when she clicked on the link, up popped a notice that the essay, by one of America’s most distinguished journalists in one of America’s most distinguished (indeed venerable) journals of opinion, was blocked as being “potentially harmful or associated with a violation of Twitter’s Terms of Service.” The possible torts listed mention sites that could steal your passwords or other personal information, install malicious software on your computer, or — bland generality — violate those “terms of service.” I had a look at those terms but could find nothing that covered what I suspect is the relevant interdiction, namely expressing a heterodox political opinion in forthright and robust terms. Perhaps there is something else which I do not immediately understand that’s at play here, but prima facie it looks to me like blatant political suppression of free expression. Am I wrong?
* If a party knowingly creates in writing a false claim of material fact which could be damaging to its target’s reputation, that’s libel.
* National Review really does have some evil advertising crap that tries to lock up your browser and tells the victim to call some (specified) phone number to have their Internet service or computer unlocked.
* I got the same message when my still ongoing shadowban started. It might be Twitter and not an attempted hack.
One theory about how the new class of shadowban works is that Twitter falsely applies one or more filters that limit the reach of a user’s tweets. The result is that other accounts treat the shadowbanned account as if they’d blocked it.
One such filter is used on potentially hacked accounts to prevent spamming. I don’t discount the possibility of Twitter admins faking hacks to apply the spam filter and censor problem accounts while maintaining plausible deniability.
* Vox, No, it’s Twitter. And they require your mail/phone/rectal exam to unlock your account again
They did it to me several times until I deleted the account.
Adam Walinsky writes for Politico:
John and Robert Kennedy devoted their greatest commitments and energies to the prevention of war and the preservation of peace. To them that was not an abstract formula but the necessary foundation of human life. But today’s Democrats have become the Party of War: a home for arms merchants, mercenaries, academic war planners, lobbyists for every foreign intervention, promoters of color revolutions, failed generals, exploiters of the natural resources of corrupt governments. We have American military bases in 80 countries, and there are now American military personnel on the ground in about 130 countries, a remarkable achievement since there are only 192 recognized countries. Generals and admirals announce our national policies. Theater commanders are our principal ambassadors. Our first answer to trouble or opposition of any kind seems always to be a military movement or action.
Nor has the Democratic Party candidate for president this year, Hillary Clinton, sought peace. Instead she has pushed America into successive invasions, successive efforts at “regime change.” She has sought to prevent Americans from seeking friendship or cooperation with President Vladimir Putin of Russia by characterizing him as “another Hitler.” She proclaims herself ready to invade Syria immediately after taking the oath of office. Her shadow War Cabinet brims with the architects of war and disaster for the past decades, the neocons who led us to our present pass, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, in Ukraine, unrepentant of all past errors, ready to resume it all with fresh trillions and fresh blood. And the Democrats she leads seem intent on worsening relations with Russia, for example by sending American warships into the Black Sea, or by introducing nuclear weapons ever closer to Russia itself.
In fact, in all the years of the so-called War on Terror, only one potential American president has had the intelligence, the vision, the sheer sanity to see that America cannot fight the entire world at once; who sees that America’s natural and necessary allies in this fight must include the advanced and civilized nations that are most exposed and experienced in their own terror wars, and have the requisite military power and willingness to use it. Only one American candidate has pointed out how senseless it is to seek confrontation with Russia and China, at the same time that we are trying to suppress the very jihadist movements that they also are attacking.
That candidate is Donald Trump. Throughout this campaign, he has said that as president, he would quickly sit down with President Putin and seek relaxation of tensions between our nations, and possible collaboration in the fight against terrorists. On this ground alone, he marks himself as greatly superior to all his competitors, earlier in the primaries and now in the general election.
My compassion for the oppressed is limitless. I will use any hashtag necessary to ensure that Muslims are living in your neighborhood.
