clashdaily--2020-06-08--‘GENOCIDE’: Should Trump Sign Bill Sanctioning China For Human Rights Abuses?

People mocked Trump for making China a central policy of his election platform .
Since then , US foreign policy — from both parties — has taken a much stronger stand .
But let ’ s not remind the Democrats that Trump was a ‘ visionary ’ early adopter on this issue .
They might suddenly reverse their positions simply to continue ‘ The Resistance ’ .
The tally was 413-1 .
The near-unanimous support in Congress – the Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent – puts pressure on Trump to impose human rights sanctions on China .
Although @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said they expected he would sign the bill , the White House has not yet indicated whether he will do so .
Aides did not respond to requests for comment .
The bill calls for sanctions against those responsible for repression of Uighurs and other Muslim groups in China ’ s Xinjiang province , where the United Nations estimates that more than a million Muslims have been detained in camps .

Let’s quickly recap what led up to this…
Just last month, Trump held China’s feet to the fire over air travel policies, for denying US carriers access to Chinese international airports. Since this was a violation of existing agreements, the POTUS initiated a US policy that limits Chinese access to US airports to levels China allows to US carriers.
When China took aggressive action in swallowing up Hong Kong and stripping citizens of their Democratic rights and freedoms ahead of the timeline agreed upon for their transition from being a Western Industrialized nation to an extension of Red China… Trump responded by stripping away some special rights and freedoms which Hong Kong had enjoyed.
If Hong Kong can no longer freely behave as a Western Nation, with their rights, freedoms and transparency, China should not have the opportunity to exploit the special relationship with us that nations like Hong Kong have enjoyed.
Tension with China has been growing. Whether we are looking at the trade war, and China exploiting supply chain issues during a pandemic including pharmaceuticals, for their benefit and our harm; or mistreatment of Uyghurs, Christians, and other minorities; their anti-black racism during COVID, or even the deception in the early days of Chinese Cornavirus itself… tensions are high.
As our relationship with China took center stage, the nature of our relationship to them — including the protest crackdowns that we were reporting on before COVID and Impeachment — came under greater scrutiny.
Now, an issue some of us have been raised for a long time has broken onto the public discourse… with shockingly bipartisan results.
The Democratic-led House and Republican-controlled Senate passed legislation nearly unanimously calling for sanctions against those responsible for repression in China’s Xinjiang province, after U.N. estimates that over 1 million Muslims have been detained. The bill singles out the region’s Communist Party secretary, Chen Quanguo, a member of China’s ruling Politburo, as responsible for “gross human rights violations” against Muslims. “This is a genocide. More than a million people are in concentration camps. Millions more are harassed every day,” said Republican Representative Chris Smith, a lead supporter of the legislation. China denies mistreatment. Sending the bill to the White House starts a 10-day clock, minus Sundays, for Trump to sign the bill into law or veto it. Otherwise, it becomes law without his signature. —Yahoo

It’s an important decision, and one we hope we will get right.

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ What do you suppose defunding the police will mean for lives and justice for THESE victims ?
Justice in the New Year – it ’ s what hundreds of Chicagoans want heading into 2020 .

There are some questions that law-abiding homeowners must not ask. It would be insensitive to an aggrieved sub-group of the population.
Apparently, they’re not familiar with the notion that any new policy has to HELP at least one person, while harming as few as possible.
Here are some demands from the BLM page.
The defunding of police:
Right now, Minneapolis and cities across our country are on fire, and our people are hurting — the violence against Black bodies felt in the ongoing mass disobedience, all while we grapple with a pandemic that is disproportionately affecting, infecting, and killing us. We call for an end to the systemic racism that allows this culture of corruption to go unchecked and our lives to be taken. We call for a national defunding of police. We demand investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive. If you’re with us, add your name to the petition right now and help us spread the word.
They also explicitly call to undermine and destroy the traditional family unit as something that is somehow ‘Western-Prescribed’
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.
Ok. That question comes from ‘privilege’.
Let’s ask another question that won’t be ‘from privilege’. The premise we are all supposedly working from is that Black Lives Matter… correct? And that black victims deserve to have those who killed them brought to justice?
In Chicago, where something like 75% of homicides cut short the lives of black victims, vicitim families were finally starting to see their relatives’ lives matter. Cases were getting solved. Their killers being brought to justice. What do you suppose defunding the police will mean for lives and justice for THESE victims?


clashdaily--2020-06-08--A Letter to White People Who Kneel

A Letter to White People Who Kneel

Kneel – be in or assume a position in which the body is supported by a knee or the knees , as when praying or showing submission .
–Oxford Dictionary As a common , garden-variety-type white guy , I understand why Christians kneel to their God .
It ’ s done out of respect and submission to a higher power .
For me , personally , God created me , He owns me ; therefore , I kneel down before Him when I pray .
I do it to show reverence and awe at His mighty power and love .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It is written : “ ‘ As surely as I live , ’ says the Lord , ‘ every knee will bow before me ; every tongue will acknowledge God.
’ ” Romans 14:10 ( NIV ) I understand why Moslems prostrate themselves on their prayer mats , even though I don ’ t adhere to their faith .
They are simply acting on their beliefs .
Trending : CNN : Wanting To Call The Cops After A Break-In Is ‘ Privilege ’ ( VIDEO ) I understand why medieval knights knelt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a knight .
They were pledging their service and sword to their superior .
I certainly understand why peasants would bow down to a king as he was carried through the streets ; after all , it was either that or be thrown in prison or be beheaded .
But here ’ s something I don ’ t understand : Why are white people all across the country suddenly kneeling before Black Lives Matter and AntiFa ?
Are we knights , pledging to serve them ?
Is Black Lives Matter a god that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is it out of fear of reprisal from AntiFa ?
I think it ’ s a mixture of a whole lot of different things .
Some whites feel guilty over “ white privilege.
” I ’ ve been white my whole life , but I ’ ve never experienced white privilege .
Never once have I been awarded something simply because of my skin color … nor should I be .
I ’ ve lived in poverty most of my life , but it ’ s not because I ’ m white .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ ve made .
In restrospect ; I ’ m not a shrewd businessman .
America is the land of opportunity .
If I ’ m still poor at 62 years of age , then I have only myself to blame .
And that brings out another point : Since when is it a bad thing to be poor ?
For me , I consider it honorable simply to live out my ordinary life , working hard and providing a better life for my family .
Other whites feel an intense sense @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ancestors .
I don ’ t understand that either .
I owe black people nothing more than human respect and kindness , and that ’ s all they owe me .
It ’ s a human thing – not a color thing .
I have never judged a man by his race .
I don ’ t do that ; it would be wrong at every level .
That being said , just as I would never judge a black man by his skin color ; never would I judge a white man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be racist , and that ’ s not me .
And I certainly would never look down on a man because of something his great-great-great-grandfather did .
How many of us really want to be judged for the sins of those who came before us ?
I refuse that label .
I reject the false guilt .
Some whites just want to feel good about themselves ; they want to believe they are a good person .
So , when the media tells them they must bow to AntiFa and Black Lives Matter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
These are the same people who subscribe , in every aspect of their lives , to all manner of political correctness .
In short , they are mindless sheep .
They will readily become LGBTQ allies ; they will agree not to use certain unacceptable words , or adhere to unpopular beliefs ; and , when told to kneel before the throne of AntiFa and Black Lives Matter ; they ’ ll do it just to feel superior to the other whites .
Whatever the media tells them … they believe ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mindlessly genuflect and kiss the ring .
And that brings us to the last category of white people : the ones who actually believe that AntiFa and Black Lives Matter is a righteous cause .
I would never fault someone for a sincere-held belief .
As humans , we are all entitled to our own belief system , and I respect that .
These whites really do believe that police , as a whole , go to the streets on every shift , patrolling the community , looking for reasons to pull over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of their cars and beat them … simply because of their skin color , out of hatred , out of fear , out of racial bias .
While I respect their right to believe this way ; I disagree with them at the most basic of levels .
Why ?
Because the facts don ’ t support their beliefs .
Whites don ’ t become police officers simply so they can rove the streets looking for black people to kill .
People of all colors become law enforcement officers in order to serve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ black , brown , red or yellow .
They certainly don ’ t do it for the immense pay or the great hours or to be ridiculed by their fellow man .
Almost all police officers put on the badge to protect and to serve .
They are the knights of our present day .
They kneel before the people and are dubbed with a certain amount of power and are answerable to the people , through their elected representatives .
And that ’ s the way it should be .
There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be sure , police brutality does exist ; but it ’ s an exception to the rule , and those exceptions should be dealt with as they come up .
The murderer of George Floyd is a good example .
He ’ s been charged with murder , and he ’ ll undoubtedly be convicted by a jury of his peers ; then he ’ ll spend most of his life in prison , paying for his crime .
There is a system of laws in place to punish errant knights , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Every cop who crosses the line should pay the price .
Every police officer who violates a person ’ s civil rights should be held accountable .
But here ’ s the thing : all of that is already happening .
The system is working .
The guilty are being punished .
So why is AntiFa and Black Lives Matter still burning down cities ?
Why are they killing other blacks ?
Why are they destroying the businesses of their fellow race ?
The answer to that question is not pretty .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bastion of hatred , unbridled aggression , and a bloodthirsty lust for revenge .
It ’ s not enough that the guilty are punished ; that prison time is awarded ; because they want to be the ones who meet out the punishment ; they want to exact the revenge ; not just on the guilty .
But on the innocent as well .
AntiFa and Black Lives Matter insists that all people everywhere bow down to them , kneel in subservient allegiance , pledge their loyalty and fealty to the cause @ @ @ @ @ @ @ white ; therefore you must pay for the sins of your fathers .
Never mind that my fathers fought and died to free your fathers from slavery ; that doesn ’ t matter ; you are white … therefore you are guilty of racism .
That is what AntiFa and Black Lives Matter believes ; but that ’ s not what I believe .
And my beliefs do not require that you agree with me ; that ’ s the fundamental difference between my belief system and yours .
AntiFa and Black Lives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with them ; they are intolerant ; they are tyrannical in nature , and they can not allow anyone to oppose them .
Black Lives Matter and AntiFa are the modern-day Brown Shirts of Hitler ; the self-appointed punishers ; the arbiters of good and evil .
They will decide for us who is righteous ; who deserves to live and who must suffer … at their hands .
So , you can call me a racist ; you can call me a homophobe ; you can call me a bigot .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but you can not call me insincere .
I have well-thought-out , researched and articulated beliefs about racism and those who loot and destroy our cities .
Here ’ s the bottom line : White People are not racist simply because they are white .
Neither are black people racist because they are black .
Most of us , both black and white , are good people and we just want to live out our lives peacefully .
I believe that most black people want the same thing that I do .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a better life than they have .
And what a wonderful thing to have in common .
Blacks and whites have more in common than they do differences .
But there has always been a segment of society that wants to drive a wedge in between us .
They want us to hate each other ; they strive to divide us ; they make us feel like we are alone ; that we can not express our opinions .
I don ’ t view black people as “ black.
” I view them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So , who do we blame for these travesties of police brutality ?
Blame the individual officer who committed the crime .
But leave the rest of us alone .
We are not the problem .
Stop punishing us for the sins of others .
I refuse to yield to AntiFa and Black Lives Matter .
I bow to no man .
Skip Coryell is the author of 16 books , including “ Civilian Combat : The Concealed Carry Book ” and the post-apocalyptic adventure series “ The Covid Chronicles ” as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @

Kneel – be in or assume a position in which the body is supported by a knee or the knees, as when praying or showing submission. –Oxford Dictionary
As a common, garden-variety-type white guy, I understand why Christians kneel to their God. It’s done out of respect and submission to a higher power. For me, personally, God created me, He owns me; therefore, I kneel down before Him when I pray. I do it to show reverence and awe at His mighty power and love. It seems the least I can do.
It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’” Romans 14:10 (NIV)
I understand why Moslems prostrate themselves on their prayer mats, even though I don’t adhere to their faith. They are simply acting on their beliefs.
I understand why medieval knights knelt before their sovereign king while being dubbed a knight. They were pledging their service and sword to their superior.
I certainly understand why peasants would bow down to a king as he was carried through the streets; after all, it was either that or be thrown in prison or be beheaded.
But here’s something I don’t understand: Why are white people all across the country suddenly kneeling before Black Lives Matter and AntiFa?
Are we knights, pledging to serve them? Is Black Lives Matter a god that it should be worshipped? Or, is it out of fear of reprisal from AntiFa? I think it’s a mixture of a whole lot of different things.
Some whites feel guilty over “white privilege.” I’ve been white my whole life, but I’ve never experienced white privilege. Never once have I been awarded something simply because of my skin color … nor should I be. I’ve lived in poverty most of my life, but it’s not because I’m white.

And that brings out another point: Since when is it a bad thing to be poor? For me, I consider it honorable simply to live out my ordinary life, working hard and providing a better life for my family.
Other whites feel an intense sense of guilt over the sins of their ancestors. I don’t understand that either.

Some whites just want to feel good about themselves; they want to believe they are a good person. So, when the media tells them they must bow to AntiFa and Black Lives Matter, then they readily take a knee. These are the same people who subscribe, in every aspect of their lives, to all manner of political correctness. In short, they are mindless sheep. They will readily become LGBTQ allies; they will agree not to use certain unacceptable words, or adhere to unpopular beliefs; and, when told to kneel before the throne of AntiFa and Black Lives Matter; they’ll do it just to feel superior to the other whites. Whatever the media tells them … they believe; when the government orders them … they mindlessly genuflect and kiss the ring.
And that brings us to the last category of white people: the ones who actually believe that AntiFa and Black Lives Matter is a righteous cause. I would never fault someone for a sincere-held belief. As humans, we are all entitled to our own belief system, and I respect that. These whites really do believe that police, as a whole, go to the streets on every shift, patrolling the community, looking for reasons to pull over black people, to haul them out of their cars and beat them … simply because of their skin color, out of hatred, out of fear, out of racial bias.
While I respect their right to believe this way; I disagree with them at the most basic of levels. Why? Because the facts don’t support their beliefs. Whites don’t become police officers simply so they can rove the streets looking for black people to kill.

They certainly don’t do it for the immense pay or the great hours or to be ridiculed by their fellow man. Almost all police officers put on the badge to protect and to serve. They are the knights of our present day. They kneel before the people and are dubbed with a certain amount of power and are answerable to the people, through their elected representatives. And that’s the way it should be.
There is no systemic police brutality crisis. To be sure, police brutality does exist; but it’s an exception to the rule, and those exceptions should be dealt with as they come up. The murderer of George Floyd is a good example. He’s been charged with murder, and he’ll undoubtedly be convicted by a jury of his peers; then he’ll spend most of his life in prison, paying for his crime. There is a system of laws in place to punish errant knights, and that’s a good thing. Every cop who crosses the line should pay the price. Every police officer who violates a person’s civil rights should be held accountable.
But here’s the thing: all of that is already happening. The system is working. The guilty are being punished. So why is AntiFa and Black Lives Matter still burning down cities? Why are they killing other blacks? Why are they destroying the businesses of their fellow race? The answer to that question is not pretty. I believe AntiFa and Black Lives Matter is a bastion of hatred, unbridled aggression, and a bloodthirsty lust for revenge. It’s not enough that the guilty are punished; that prison time is awarded; because they want to be the ones who meet out the punishment; they want to exact the revenge; not just on the guilty. But on the innocent as well.
AntiFa and Black Lives Matter insists that all people everywhere bow down to them, kneel in subservient allegiance, pledge their loyalty and fealty to the cause of hatred and revenge. You are white; therefore you must pay for the sins of your fathers. Never mind that my fathers fought and died to free your fathers from slavery; that doesn’t matter; you are white … therefore you are guilty of racism. That is what AntiFa and Black Lives Matter believes; but that’s not what I believe. And my beliefs do not require that you agree with me; that’s the fundamental difference between my belief system and yours. AntiFa and Black Lives Matter demands that all people everywhere agree with them; they are intolerant; they are tyrannical in nature, and they cannot allow anyone to oppose them.
Black Lives Matter and AntiFa are the modern-day Brown Shirts of Hitler; the self-appointed punishers; the arbiters of good and evil. They will decide for us who is righteous; who deserves to live and who must suffer … at their hands.
So, you can call me a racist; you can call me a homophobe; you can call me a bigot. I’ve been called that before … but you cannot call me insincere. I have well-thought-out, researched and articulated beliefs about racism and those who loot and destroy our cities.
Here’s the bottom line: White People are not racist simply because they are white. Neither are black people racist because they are black. Most of us, both black and white, are good people and we just want to live out our lives peacefully. I believe that most black people want the same thing that I do. They want to raise their children to have a better life than they have. And what a wonderful thing to have in common. Blacks and whites have more in common than they do differences. But there has always been a segment of society that wants to drive a wedge in between us. They want us to hate each other; they strive to divide us; they make us feel like we are alone; that we cannot express our opinions.
I don’t view black people as “black.” I view them as human … just like me.
So, who do we blame for these travesties of police brutality?
Blame the individual officer who committed the crime. But leave the rest of us alone. We are not the problem. Stop punishing us for the sins of others. I refuse to yield to AntiFa and Black Lives Matter. I bow to no man.
Skip Coryell is the author of 16 books, including “Civilian Combat: The Concealed Carry Book” and the post-apocalyptic adventure series “The Covid Chronicles” as well as “The God Virus.”


clashdaily--2020-06-08--J.K. Rowling Tweets About Biological Sex–Leftists Attack And ‘Cancel’ Her (Again)

The beloved author of the Harry Potter series isn ’ t so beloved after these tweets !
It ’ s ironic that the woke leftists who seem to have only ever read the Harry Potter series and The Handmaid ’ s Tale are turning against one of their own .
J.K. Rowling has angered the woke brigade by tweeting about biological sex .
Again .
Now they ’ re trying to cancel her .
Again .
Rowling has done this before .
Back in December , she came to the defense of Maya Forstater , a woman who was fired @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United Kingdom that completely ignored biological sex .
ClashDaily covered Rowling ’ s position and the bizarre denial of biological sex here : Gervais And Rowling : Two Culture Warriors Fighting Against Extreme Transgender Activism Rowling is not backing down , however .
The author known for “ retconning ” wokeism into her Harry Potter books ( which often make no sense ) is getting attacked by her own fans .
Rowling , after publishing all of her books , stated that Professor Dumbledore was gay , Hermione was actually black , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Asian woman .
At the time , many Harry Potter fans cheered these “ improvements ” to the books by including diversity ; even including a gay professor– and the most beloved one , to boot !
But at the core , Rowling is a feminist .
She seemed a bit upset by the utterly dehumanizing phrase “ people who menstruate ” as the new “ woke ” term for women .
The very same people who advocate for transgender rights don ’ t realize that there are other rights in conflict–those of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ LGB ” in the “ LGBT ” community .
They are very concerned about “ erasing ” trans people but fail to realize that by allowing simple self-id redefines “ men ” and “ women ” from something concrete to something malleable that essentially means nothing .
What that does is “ erase ” women .
If sex isn ’ t real , there ’ s no same-sex attraction .
If sex isn ’ t real , the lived reality of women globally is erased .
I know and love trans people , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives .
It isn ’ t hate to speak the truth .
The idea that women like me , who ’ ve been empathetic to trans people for decades , feeling kinship because they ’ re vulnerable in the same way as women – ie , to male violence – ‘ hate ’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences – is a nonsense .
I respect every trans person ’ s right to live any way that feels authentic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans .
At the same time , my life has been shaped by being female .
I do not believe it ’ s hateful to say so .
She ’ s just posting facts there , as well as her own “ lived experience ” which is often touted as the standard for truth in woke circles .
Rowling later posted a link to an article about a lesbian who has been attacked from the LGBT community for…being a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in force .
This first example is a doozie– “ No one is saying that ‘ womxn ’ are being erased ” while censoring the word woman .
That ’ s literally erasing it , Maddy .
It only gets better ( worse ? )
from there .
This guy who writes for Medium , went off on a looooong thread of twisting himself into knots to say that he ’ s a gay man , but same-sex attraction is B.S .
Curious how that works ?
Me too… Then , he goes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s the kind of guy that can not separate the art from the artist and wants to project today ’ s values onto yesterday ’ s work .
It ’ s important to be able to see where we were as a culture and where we are going .
For example , all the outrage over Mark Twain ’ s Huckleberry Finn calling the runaway slave the “ N ” word discounts that they became friends .
It was the writing of a man who started his life in a slave-holding family , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in life and became a staunch abolitionist .
What will be an outrageous view in the future ?
We don ’ t know .
Will Aditya Mukerjee be canceled in the future and have his writing erased from the annals of history for his “ wrongthink ” about what being gay means ?
Perhaps .
Only time will tell .

ClashDaily covered Rowling’s position and the bizarre denial of biological sex here:
Gervais And Rowling: Two Culture Warriors Fighting Against Extreme Transgender Activism
Rowling is not backing down, however.
The author known for “retconning” wokeism into her Harry Potter books (which often make no sense) is getting attacked by her own fans. Rowling, after publishing all of her books, stated that Professor Dumbledore was gay, Hermione was actually black, and Nagani the snake was a cursed Asian woman. At the time, many Harry Potter fans cheered these “improvements” to the books by including diversity; even including a gay professor– and the most beloved one, to boot!
But at the core, Rowling is a feminist.
She seemed a bit upset by the utterly dehumanizing phrase “people who menstruate” as the new “woke” term for women.
‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud? Opinion: Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate https://t.co/cVpZxG7gaA — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 6, 2020
The very same people who advocate for transgender rights don’t realize that there are other rights in conflict–those of biological women and those of the “LGB” in the “LGBT” community. They are very concerned about “erasing” trans people but fail to realize that by allowing simple self-id redefines “men” and “women” from something concrete to something malleable that essentially means nothing. What that does is “erase” women.
Rowling posted a short Twitter thread about biological sex–and she’s 100% correct. She wrote:
If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth. The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women – ie, to male violence – ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences – is a nonsense. I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.

But the leftists were out in force.
This first example is a doozie–“No one is saying that ‘womxn’ are being erased” while censoring the word woman. That’s literally erasing it, Maddy.
It only gets better (worse?) from there.
Literally NO ONE said the concept of sex or womxn is erased. The only thing erased here is YOU erasing the legitimacy of trans folks. Please reconsider where you stand here, for trans folks and for so many who used to idolize you. — Maddy Eisenberg (@maddyeisenberg) June 6, 2020
The vast consensus of medical and other scientific experts validate trans people and urge affirmation of us. Your own country’s medical organizations have said as much. You don’t love trans people, and certainly don’t care about us. — Charlotte Clymer ?? (@cmclymer) June 6, 2020
it's telling she'd choose the moment we're in right now – as the world grapples with a pandemic, economic disruption, and thousands of protests demanding justice for Black lives – to fuel the flames of transphobia — Robbie Couch (@robbie_couch) June 6, 2020
This guy who writes for Medium, went off on a looooong thread of twisting himself into knots to say that he’s a gay man, but same-sex attraction is B.S.
Curious how that works? Me too…
let's also not forget that, on top of the obvious transphobia (which is literally J.K. Rowling's brand at this point), I'm pretty sure gay intersex people will take issue with "if sex isn't real, there's no same-sex attraction" ? — Aditya Mukerjee, the Otterrific ? ?? (@chimeracoder) June 6, 2020
Do go on…
I don't think J.K. Rowling actually supports gay men. She just doesn't hate us *enough* to refuse to cash in on queerbaiting, or enough to risk her entire reputation on spreading homophobic messages, the way she does for trans people. — Aditya Mukerjee, the Otterrific ? ?? (@chimeracoder) June 6, 2020
Then, he goes straight for the canceling.
J.K. Rowling will become the first author whose once-popular books fade into obscurity not because the first edition text was so abhorrent, but because she couldn't stop herself from retconning bigotry into her books on Twitter years later. — Aditya Mukerjee, the Otterrific ? ?? (@chimeracoder) June 6, 2020
Oh, ok, dude.
He’s the kind of guy that cannot separate the art from the artist and wants to project today’s values onto yesterday’s work.
It’s important to be able to see where we were as a culture and where we are going. For example, all the outrage over Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn calling the runaway slave the “N” word discounts that they became friends. It was the writing of a man who started his life in a slave-holding family, but was moved to change positions later in life and became a staunch abolitionist.
What will be an outrageous view in the future? We don’t know.
Will Aditya Mukerjee be canceled in the future and have his writing erased from the annals of history for his “wrongthink” about what being gay means? Perhaps. Only time will tell.


Defunding The Police

In the midst of the protests over the death of George Floyd , there have been calls for defunding various municipal police departments , which of course means getting rid of them .
I ’ m not sure how exactly such an idea will be beneficial , other than easing the burden on the taxpayers .
As much as some people despise the cops , they are in fact a beneficial component of society .
Naturally , they patrol the streets , investigate crimes , arrest criminals , and in certain situations provide police protection .

In contrast , municipal police departments are necessary in cities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state law enforcement do not have enough personnel to provide services for them .
Needless to say , abolishing municipal police departments in various cities will result in lawlessness in those cities .
Crime will skyrocket , traffic accidents will be unrecorded ( since accident reports are required for car insurance claims ) , and anarchy will be the result .

And will such money be spent wisely ?
And if city police departments are defunded , will law enforcement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ county levels be next ?
I should add that defunding city police departments will also put many people out of work .
There is a chance that the money that was provided for city police departments via federal or state grants could not be given to their respective cities if their officials choose to abolish their police departments .

In conclusion, defunding and abolishing city police departments is a terrible idea.

Bush spokesman Freddy Ford “said the former president would stay out of the election and speak only on policy issues, as he did this week in stating that the country must ‘examine our tragic failures’ on race.” Ford told the Texas Tribune via email that the former president has not revealed his voting plans and will not wade into presidential politics. “This is completely made up,” Ford said in the email according to the outlet. “He is retired from presidential politics and has not indicated how he will vote.” —JustTheNews
We mustn’t be too hard on the NYTimes, though. They wouldn’t know ‘journalistic integrity’ if it backed over them with a truck.
Not that the other ‘mainstream’ media are any better. Margaret Brennan, from CBS got caught ‘cooking the books’ in a story.
Clear she was angry at Barr for repeatedly pointing out false reports from CBS and other outlets, but solution is not to do more false reporting. — Mollie (@MZHemingway) June 7, 2020
She was desperate for the unnecessarily harsh treatment of peaceful protesters to be true that she stubbornly clung to it even when refuted. Such ‘reporting’.
Ouch. You might want to put some aloe on that.
Great job, media. You’re really winning back our respect there.

For anyone wondering what happened to Shaun King ’ s voice during this year ’ s race riots… he may have pissed off the wrong people .
The left never misses a chance to elevate someone who they consider useful to their cause ; someone who can help carry their political agendas forward .
It doesn ’ t matter if it ’ s a female soccer player , a high-strung teenage environmental activist , neo-Soviet freshman Congresswomen with obvious agendas of their own , or even Al Sharpton , who once played a role in triggering an anti-Jewish race riot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reason , they haven ’ t rushed to splash dear Talcum X all over the screens .
It could be that he ’ s made himself politically radioactive , with accusations of misconduct and groups officially cutting ties with him .
BLM has ‘ canceled ’ him .
TALCUM X : Black Lives Matter Leader Throws Shaun King Under The Bus Trending : CNN : Wanting To Call The Cops After A Break-In Is ‘ Privilege ’ ( VIDEO ) That could be part of the story .
But he ’ s a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be SOMEONE willing to ride his coattails on an issue like this one .
Some too-honest tweets of his may have cinched it .

Even the conservatives , who generally ignore him , have noticed : He ’ s not just anti-Republican , like so many of these race profiteers tend to be .
He ’ s actually calling out problems on the Democrat side .
What other unexpected plot twists will 2020 bring us before this wild ride is over ?

For anyone wondering what happened to Shaun King’s voice during this year’s race riots… he may have pissed off the wrong people.
The left never misses a chance to elevate someone who they consider useful to their cause; someone who can help carry their political agendas forward. It doesn’t matter if it’s a female soccer player, a high-strung teenage environmental activist, neo-Soviet freshman Congresswomen with obvious agendas of their own, or even Al Sharpton, who once played a role in triggering an anti-Jewish race riot in Crown Heights.
But for some reason, they haven’t rushed to splash dear Talcum X all over the screens. It could be that he’s made himself politically radioactive, with accusations of misconduct and groups officially cutting ties with him.
BLM has ‘canceled’ him. TALCUM X: Black Lives Matter Leader Throws Shaun King Under The Bus
That could be part of the story. But he’s a known entity, and there would normally be SOMEONE willing to ride his coattails on an issue like this one.
Some too-honest tweets of his may have cinched it.
For example:
He’s calling the Democrats out on their BS!
Ok. I have been limiting my social media intake since Friday for my mental health, but what have I missed???

He’s not just anti-Republican, like so many of these race profiteers tend to be. He’s actually calling out problems on the Democrat side.
#ShaunKing accusing @KamalaHarris of framing his “friend” who he’s never met of murder. He deleted this tweet sometime in the past 3 days. He’s hoping people forgot. pic.twitter.com/phIeI9q082 — Onoitsmymothernlaw (@Onoitmymthrnlaw) June 7, 2020

clashdaily--2020-06-09--Hey Pelosi: This Lady From Africa Has Something To Say About Your BLM Photo Op

Since the Democrats are quick to remind us about how important it is for people of privilege , particularly wealthy , white people , to give an ear to the lived experiences of black voices , here ’ s her chance to do the same .
Only a week after chastening Trump for a ‘ photo op ’ standing in front of a Church that had survived an attempt to firebomb it the night before , Democrats are orchestrating one of their own , to pad their ‘ woke ’ credentials in an election whose storyline the media is clearly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pelosi , Schumer , and others coordinated with the Congressional Black Caucus to don what the media might generically describe as ‘ Traditional African Garb ’ in a supposed show of solidarity with BLM … something-something racism .

Don ’ t expect them to take the criticism well , though .
Just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some other ways Pelosi got dragged for this poorly thought-out stunt as well .

D-Day Reflections, Some 76 Years Later

It ’ s June 6th , 2020 .
It is 76 years after the invasion of Fortress Europe , or as it was designated , D-Day .
The lack of attention to this occasion by almost all forms of media was a disturbing show of ignorance and apathy by America .
The History Channel , I ’ m happy to say , showed a multi-hour coverage of the invasion , and the subsequent weeks .
It was not a movie , it was all American news photographers and captured German film .
It was not sugar-coated .
It was brutal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and wounded staggered the credibility .
Was it really possible that SO many warriors were killed and wounded in the first 8 weeks of the invasion ?
Yes , it was , and is .
Today ’ s “ young people ” have NO idea what it took to win the war and make the world free again .
Are they disconnected to an extent that history means nothing to them ?
Is there no one in their family that has worn the uniform of the United States and went off to war @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get back home ?
That is , to my way of thinking , an excellent reason for a mandatory stint in the armed forces .
It not only protects the country , but the person has an opportunity to learn something that will benefit them , in some way , once they leave the service .
It may be that it will straighten some out , and they will see the service as a place for a career .
There ’ s an old saying , and it goes like this… ” If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it ’ s good enough to fight for ” .
Yeah , maybe the grammar isn ’ t right , but that ’ s the way the saying goes .
I like to think I ’ m a patriot .
I don ’ t always like , or agree with , whatever the President or Congress is saying or doing , but I ’ m always going to be FOR my country .
Many people have put on the uniform of the United States , finding opportunities there…that might not have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , heritage , or even what form of worship they practice .
I heard , somewhere , that in battle you ’ re not fighting for your country , but for the person who might be next to you .
It ’ s a matter of survival , and it comes down to looking out for the one who ’ s looking out for you… if you plan to survive .
In my Navy career I ’ ve never been in , or even near combat , so I consider myself lucky in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ d have been lucky on the field of battle , I can not say .
Incidentally , patriotism is not just for the military holidays , it should be all year round .
Let ’ s promote patriotism , shall we ?
Trending : CNN : Wanting To Call The Cops After A Break-In Is ‘ Privilege ’ ( VIDEO ) A change of pace here .
It ’ s getting more and more difficult for me to write a column because it appears that I ’ m preaching to the choir @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and reading what I say , are not and , even if they were , they probably wouldn ’ t like it .
Our politics in America have deteriorated to the point where it can honestly be described as Americans versus anti-Americans .
The recent riots and looting have nothing to do with George Floyd .
Mr. Floyd was murdered , the guilty parties have been taken into custody and will stand trial .
We can expect , but not guarantee , that the court ’ s decision will come to the conclusion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the highly-organized riots and looting are part of a larger plan , to take down the government , install something in its place , something that will closely resemble Socialism .
One “ feeler ” put forth is the defunding and/or disbanding of various city police departments .
There is NO logical thinking behind that proposed plan , believe me .
Now , let ’ s talk about something that SHOULD have been in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights .
It ’ s term limits , and it should have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Founding Fathers never , in their wildest dreams , imagined that someone would WANT to stay in Congress once their term was up .
After all , they probably had a farm or business to tend to , a family back home , and travel wasn ’ t as fast as it is in our modern world .
So , term limits are to be a major talking point , at least in my not-so-humble opinion , at both conventions .
The Democrats will be against it , and I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only talk about it , but will make it a part of their platform .
My guess is that most of America , on both sides of the aisle , want term limits and if it gets on the national ballot it just might get passed by Congress .
Parting shot : Not a day goes by that some thoughts don ’ t go through my head .
I think of my father every day because he taught me a lot more than I ever realized .
The flag that I see when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hope that they still revere that cloth .
As a veteran my thoughts go to all the buddies , here and gone , that have influenced my life through the years .
The current political schism in our country remind me that is how our country was formed…a handful of men who dared to dream of something better .
Do we , as Americans , dare to dream of that something better ?
Can we heal the wounds of today ’ s chaotic world ?

As I write this…
It’s June 6th, 2020. It is 76 years after the invasion of Fortress Europe, or as it was designated, D-Day.

Was it really possible that SO many warriors were killed and wounded in the first 8 weeks of the invasion? Yes, it was, and is.
Today’s “young people” have NO idea what it took to win the war and make the world free again. Are they disconnected to an extent that history means nothing to them? Is there no one in their family that has worn the uniform of the United States and went off to war, never knowing if they would ever get back home? That is, to my way of thinking, an excellent reason for a mandatory stint in the armed forces.

A change of pace here. It’s getting more and more difficult for me to write a column because it appears that I’m preaching to the choir. The folks that should be hearing and reading what I say, are not and, even if they were, they probably wouldn’t like it. Our politics in America have deteriorated to the point where it can honestly be described as Americans versus anti-Americans. The recent riots and looting have nothing to do with George Floyd. Mr. Floyd was murdered, the guilty parties have been taken into custody and will stand trial. We can expect, but not guarantee, that the court’s decision will come to the conclusion we want.

One “feeler” put forth is the defunding and/or disbanding of various city police departments. There is NO logical thinking behind that proposed plan, believe me.
Now, let’s talk about something that SHOULD have been in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. It’s term limits, and it should have been right up there with the other amendments. The Founding Fathers never, in their wildest dreams, imagined that someone would WANT to stay in Congress once their term was up. After all, they probably had a farm or business to tend to, a family back home, and travel wasn’t as fast as it is in our modern world. So, term limits are to be a major talking point, at least in my not-so-humble opinion, at both conventions.

Parting shot: Not a day goes by that some thoughts don’t go through my head. I think of my father every day because he taught me a lot more than I ever realized. The flag that I see when I drive by a school makes me hope that they still revere that cloth.

This is the kind of thing that we need to see more of .
O ’ Neal Saddler is a state trooper in Georgia .
When the Black Lives Matter protesters came to him while he was on duty and asked him to kneel , he politely refused .
He told them that he canceled his weekend plans with his wife to keep protesters safe , and when he was asked to kneel , he said that he has “ much respect ” but only kneels for one person .
Addressing a group of demonstrators , Saddler says : ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of town this weekend with my wife .
‘ I took off this weekend , today , but I ’ m out here to make sure you are all safe .
‘ Don ’ t go there with respect .
‘ I have much respect , but I only kneel for one person.

From the stonking laptop of bestselling author , Doug Giles , comes a new book that focuses on Jesus ’ overt masculine traits like no other books have heretofore .
It ’ s informative , bold , hilarious , and scary .

He told them that he canceled his weekend plans with his wife to keep protesters safe, and when he was asked to kneel, he said that he has “much respect” but only kneels for one person.

He’s absolutely correct.

O’Neal Saddler is right to stick to his principles. Only kneeling for God shouldn’t be controversial.
