Republicans #fundie washingtonpost.com

In a nationally representative online survey of 1,011 Americans conducted by Qualtrics between Dec. 6 and 12, we asked respondents, “In last month’s election, Donald Trump won the majority of votes in the electoral college. Who do you think won the most popular votes?”...

Respondents’ correct understanding of the popular vote depended a great deal on partisanship. A large fraction of Republicans — 52 percent — said Trump won the popular vote, compared with only 7 percent of Democrats and 24 percent of independents. Among Republicans without any college education, the share was even larger: 60 percent, compared with 37 percent of Republicans with a college degree.

This article is a very clever word game, reminiscent of Bill Clinton testifying about whether he had sex with Monica Lewinsky. It dodges the actual issue of whether Europe should allow itself to be assimilated by Islamic culture in the name of political correctness or should Islamic immigrants be required to assimilate themselves into European culture?

IT DOESN'T MATTER if it's a burqa or a hijab or a niqab, or how many women actually wear them. What does matter is that Europeans are waking up to the dangers posed by the importation of the Islamic culture into their own, and are taking a stand against it. Wearing Islamic garb is symbolic. So is the banning of wearing that garb in situations where public safety is concerned.

Adam Taylor, Agnes De Feo, and other Islamic apologists actually have the audacity to blame bans on burqas as a cause for women becoming Islamic terrorists. That's like saying gun laws caused the Sandy Hook school shootings.

Edgar Maddison Welch #conspiracy washingtonpost.com

Sunday after he walked into a popular pizza restaurant [Commet Ping-Pong] in Northwest Washington carrying an assault rifle and fired one or more shots, D.C. police said. The man told police he had come to the restaurant to “self-investigate” a false election-related conspiracy theory involving Hillary Clinton that spread online during her presidential campaign.

Police said 28-year-old Edgar Maddison Welch, of Salisbury, N.C., walked in the front door of Comet Ping Pong and pointed a firearm in the direction of a restaurant employee. The employee was able to flee and notify police. Police said Welch proceeded to discharge the rifle inside the restaurant; they think that all other occupants had fled when Welch began shooting.?Welch has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. Police said there were no reported injuries.

The identity politics rhetoric spewed by clueless leftists thrives ...do they realize the paternalistic and insulting nature of their conclusions, that the success Asian-Americans is attributed to white people "providing them the path"? Do these nitwits realize that alienation and absolvance of earned respect will lead to another Trump victory in four years?

There are three possible reasons for ignorance displayed by Jeff Guo, the author of this article:
1. He's a self-loathing Asian-American who is disillusioned by the fact that Asian-Americans are successful despite being a *gasp!* minority in the apparently evil, intolerant America.

2. He's trying his best to appease the fascist far-left contingent who inhabit the coastal metropolitan centers.

3. Occam's Razor: He's simply suffering from lunatic delirium.

It isn't the fragility of university students that is disturbing, but rather their two-dimensional, strident adherence to the doctrines of Cultural Marxism that makes true campus intellectual debate and inquiry impossible. This is a national phenomenon. No institution calling itself a college or university can provide a quality education for undergraduates if ceases being a place where all opinions are respected and afforded a platform. How far they have strayed from that mission is illustrated by the widespread banning of speakers who are believed to promote retrograde ideas. The academy needs to wake up to the fact that "Political Correctness" is intellectual fascism.

Exactly. The WaPo actually had a writer/Mom take her kid on college tours a few years back. They visited a very "exclusive" college (most expensive US college usually). The student tour guide was asked about diversity. She replied, "There is none, In thought." The same groupthink echo chamber, but the real issue is the suppression of faculty speech, to be nearly uniformly pro-Democratic and liberal. Private colleges, as in private business, do not enjoy 1st Amendment privileges in their employment. The faculty can be as openly biased as they choose. It seems to be at a tipping point. I can't help but blame the Obama DOJ and DOE for many egregious actions to swiftly attack any dissenters in these environs. It elected Trump in part. Interesting. The current trend of judicial activism is paralleled by policy at schools. It's far easier to strike down a "ban" than it is to address the myriad of "guidelines" and speech monitors (a formal group at many campuses). It doesn't just take WikiLeaks to reveal Dem efforts to carry out social engineering through court appointments, but in claims on "safety." Trigger warnings, "safe" spaces that exclude whites, groups marching in libraries (of all places) cornering white students and forcing them to chant "Black Lives Matter." It's outrageous behavior, but safely conducted because faculty and administration do not punish the doers, and often create "sanctuaries" for them and their leaders. Of course, in the name of 'safety.'

Anonymous Chicago men #fundie washingtonpost.com

In a video that appeared to be shot on a smartphone, a group of young men and women viciously beat a 49-year-old man named David Wilcox while screaming phrases such as “You voted Trump” and “Don’t vote Trump.”

Wilcox told the Chicago Tribune that it began Wednesday about 1 p.m. at the corner of Kedzie Avenue and Roosevelt Road, when a black sedan scraped along the side of his Pontiac Bonneville, scratching it.

“I stopped and parked. And I asked if they had insurance, and the next thing that I knew they were beating the s— out of me,” Wilcox told the paper.

In the video, several men and women threw him to the concrete and kicked him repeatedly, sometimes in the face.

The laughing group threw haymakers at the Wilcox’s head, as he desperately tried to crawl and limp back to his Bonneville. The door hung open until one of the young men climbed into the driver’s seat and slammed the door.

A subsequent video obtained by the Tribune showed Wilcox grabbing onto the open back window of the car, as the young man drove off. Wilcox hung from the window, his feet dragging along the concrete as the Bonneville picked up speed.

“The guy took off. He was doing 70 or 80 down Roosevelt, swerving. He was trying to have me fall off, and I knew if I somehow let go, I was going to die,” Wilcox told the paper. “Then he slowed down. I was looking at oncoming traffic. He probably slowed to about 45. God was watching over for me. I rolled about five or seven times into the oncoming traffic lanes.”

Wilcox said he did vote for Donald Trump, but that no one would know this just by looking at his car. He said of Trump, “He’s gonna bring back the economy. I believe he’s gonna be the one to protect the [nation]. I know he doesn’t speak politically correct sometimes, but 95 percent of the country doesn’t.”

He claimed someone at a nearby bus stop yelled, “Yeah, it’s one of them white boy Trump guys,” during the attack.

.......

“What’s happening to America?” Wilcox asked in a recorded interview with the Tribune. “You’re supposed to be able to vote in peace. It’s supposed to be part of our democracy, and what happened is I vote for somebody, and I get beaten, robbed, and my car stolen, and I have no way of getting my wife to and from work safe anymore.”

SAN DIEGO — The Sunday bulletin of San Diego’s Immaculate Conception Catholic Church on Oct. 16 wasn’t very different from all the others.

Seven pages. A welcome to newcomers. A Mass schedule.

But there, between the prayers of healing for the ill and the deployed and a reminder about a parent-child chastity luncheon for ages 11 and up, was an extra flier.

On it was printed a memo, written in Spanish and English, and titled, in part, “How to vote like a Catholic.”

“It is a mortal sin to vote Democrat . . . immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell,” the flier said, as reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The flier listed five political topics that will guarantee damnation for anyone who endorses them, the newspaper reported.

What are those mortal issues? Abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia, human cloning and embryonic stem-cell research.

Warnings from the church, which is in Old Town, the city’s historic district, escalated Oct. 30.

The message that day specifically mentioned Hillary Clinton, linking her to the famed late community organizer Saul David Alinsky, whom it described as a tool of “Satan” and “the devil.”

The Alinsky-Hillary Clinton-Satan connection (as a student at Wellesley, she wrote a thesis on Alinsky, who had a following of young activists in the 1960s and ’70s) is an old conservative rap on Clinton, most recently resurrected by Ben Carson at the Republican National Convention.

That Sunday’s bulletin, which was printed on page 3 and not inserted as a flier, listed 10 key issues through which elected officials “impose sin upon us.”

On that expanded list: accepting immigrants whose “religious values are to eradicate every belief except those of their own prophet and god,” supporting immigrants monetarily while the national debt grows, “playing policeman for the world” and supporting gun control.

A spokesman for the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego told the Union-Tribune that the pastor didn’t approve the initial flier.

“For all I know someone thought that they were doing a service” by inserting the message into the bulletin, diocese spokesman Kevin Eckery said. “The pastor said it was not something he had reviewed or approved.”

Eckery said the messages in the flier and bulletin were wrong.

“It’s not a mortal sin to vote for Democrats, number one. And number two, the church doesn’t take positions on this, and we’re not going to.”

Republicans #conspiracy washingtonpost.com

In the figure below, we find that nearly 60 percent of Republicans believe that illegal immigrants are voting, a claim that has been circulated by Trump in recent days and debunked by political scientists. The share of independents and Democrats who believe non-citizens are voting is considerably lower, but not insignificant.

We also found that 43 percent of Republicans believe people vote under the names of registered voters who have died, and that 36 percent believe that election officials are manipulating vote totals. We did not find very many people who believe double-voting — or someone voting twice — is common.

multiculturalism is a euphemism for media induced zeitgeist that whites are evil so they need to give away their land and destroy their own race to atone for the sins of their ancestors. It's incredibly racist to allow everyone BUT whites to organize based on their race. Race is real, it is not a social construct at all. You can get a dna test and with just 12 markers find out exactly what region of the world your ancestors came from. All non-blacks are part neanderthal, which was actually an advantage for non-blacks, It increased their cranial capacity and they learned inherited an amazing culture that survived for tens of thousands of years which included art, music(the first musical instruments were neanderthal flutes) knowledge of cold weather survival, weaponry, tools, ect. Neanderthal had light skin and hair which is a trait that still exists only in their hybrid descendants. The point is race is real and each race has the right to its territory and the right to keep their territory homogeneous. Multiculturalism is white suicide, it only exists in white countries. We are in a recession, we have record high unemployment. We still let in immigrants and debate on whether the tax payer should pay for the houses, healthcare, education, ect of ILLEGAL aliens who are often criminals and drug mules. The birthrate among whites is 1.1 per family. meaning when to people have sex they on average only have one child to replace them for the next generation while Arabs have a birthrate of 8.2. China, even with the one child policy, still manages to have an average birth rate of 12.31. It's genocide by media control of information and opinion, marxist style infiltration of the education system to teach everyone that whites are evil and they killed millions of natives(when they only killed thousands, small pox and other pathogens killed millions without any help from the white devil) and they were the only slavers in history and no whites slaves ever existed or exist today...

If you think there isn't a system discrimination against whites called "affirmative action, multiculturalism, political correctness, Diversity," then you should ask yourself, Is there a white history month? White student Union? White Scholarship programs? A League of White Nations? national council of la blanca raza(there's the national council of la raza or the race if you don't speak any spanish because you're too far north to be forced to learn spanish because of the open borders.) Well there isn't any of those and if anyone tried to create any one of those organizations or even suggest that whites exist and have their own interests like every other race then it automatically activates years of media and education indoctrination that usually just creates rage in the mind of the individual who will then use verbal slander or physical violence to suppress any sentiment from ever being said in the future for fear of more backlashes. In some countries(germany, Austria, france) you can be arrested for hate speech if you advocate white existence or european ethnic identity(meanwhile muslims riot throughout Europe every other year or any times someone draws a cartoon of their prophet, or writes a book exposing their barbaric religion. Don't believe the lies. You have a right to exist, we all do, but the only way to do that is to have limited contact with other cultures. Trade and nothing else.

Mussolini's fascist regime was praised by progressives (you know, the left). Hitler's regime was the National *Socialist* party, and in fact was quite socialist.

Fascism is a left wing idea - it is all about the government making the economy work well through micromanagement. Of course, to do that, it needs strong leaders, and the result was Mussolini. Hitler was an admirer of Mussolini and copied his ideas.

Sen. Ron Johnson #fundie washingtonpost.com

A Republican senator has inserted language into an appropriations bill that would prohibit the Justice Department from enforcing key provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act at private schools that receive public funds, a measure he said was necessary to protect voucher programs from politically motivated attacks.?The bill — the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Act — has not yet passed. But disability-rights advocates are concerned that the amendment submitted last week by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) could make it far more difficult for Justice Department officials to ensure that voucher programs give students with disabilities fair access to private schools.

It’s an odd sounding statement. After all, Buddhist monks are popularly known for kindness, peacefulness and generosity. But the advice comes straight from New York City Buddhist leaders, who say that panhandlers have been dressing like monks — right down to the shaved head and orange robes — as a means to con tourists out of money.?

The men reportedly hand passersby golden medallions or simply peaceful tidings before asking for donations to help build a temple in Thailand. Only, there is no temple in Thailand, and the “monks” reportedly become irate, are unrelenting in their demands and occasionally aggressive.

Do you really think we can all just "get along"? The more different we are, the more we have to fight over. The more likely different groups are to compete with one another, instead of cooperating.

We all "shared" this planet for many centuries, but only in the past 70 or so years have European governments decided to allow massive amounts of immigration. When will there have been enough immigration? When the standard of living in Europe is equal to that of Africa or Asia? Good luck convincing Europeans that is a good thing for their children. Or maybe the motive is to reduce worldwide racial diversity so everyone looks more alike, and racism will come to an end? Then why aren't all the African peoples, or Latin American peoples, or east Asian peoples, or Native American peoples, being diluted?

Admit it: this is all about destroying the economic, cultural, and genetic inheritance of white people. Whether you agree with it because you feel like it is justice for colonialism and imperialism, or because of jealousy and spite, or because it is the socially trendy thing to do, you are advocating for genocide. Please understand this.

Pastor Roger Jiminez #fundie washingtonpost.com

Following the deadliest shooting in U.S. history, a Baptist preacher stood at his pulpit Sunday night in Northern California and delivered an impassioned sermon praising the brutal massacre at a gay nightclub in Florida.

Pastor Roger Jimenez from Verity Baptist Church in Sacramento told his congregation that Christians “shouldn’t be mourning the death of 50 sodomites.”

“People say, like: Well, aren’t you sad that 50 sodomites died?” Jimenez said, referencing the initial death toll in Orlando, which authorities later clarified included 49 victims plus the gunman. “Here’s the problem with that. It’s like the equivalent of asking me — what if you asked me: ?Hey, are you sad that 50 pedophiles were killed today?’

“Um, no, I think that’s great. I think that helps society. You know, I think Orlando, Fla., is a little safer tonight.”

He added: “The tragedy is that more of them didn’t die. The tragedy is — I’m kind of upset that he didn’t finish the job!”

(...)

Members of the LGBT community are not allowed to join Verity Baptist or attend its services, according to the church’s “What We Believe” page. It states the church believes “sodomy” — referring to homosexuality — is “a sin and an abomination before God? which God punishes with the death penalty.”

“I wish the government would round them all up, put them up against a firing wall, put a firing squad in front of them, and blow their brains out,” Jimenez said during his Sunday sermon, which Verity Baptist posted on its website under the title “the Christian response to the Orlando murders.”

(...)

Video of the sermon, uploaded to the church’s YouTube channel, was removed late Monday or early Tuesday “for violating YouTube’s policy on hate speech.” A copy of the video was later uploaded by a different YouTube user.

The sermon runs for 45 minutes and focuses on the Bible, homosexuality and the deadly rampage at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando.

Hours after a lone gunman went into the club and shot and killed 49 people, Jimenez suggested that their deaths were well-deserved.

“As Christians, we should not be taking a sympathetic approach to these types of news and saying: This was a tragedy, this is something that we’re sad about, we should be mourning these people,” he said. “The Bible teaches that they’re all predators. That’s all the Bible says about them: They’re wicked, they’re vile, they’re predators. ?And God says that they deserve the death penalty for what they do —

“I’m not saying that we should be doing that. But in God’s government, where God set up the laws and God set up the rules and God set up the people in charge, God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.”

He continued:

Let me say this: As Christians, we shouldn’t be advocating the killing of sodomites. I’m not standing up here tonight and saying: Let’s go get some guns, and let’s go get ’em. That’s not what I’m saying at all. People will sometimes hear people like me preach, or other pastors, and say: You guys are advocating violence. We’re not advocating violence. We’re not saying we should go do this.

But we’re just saying this: ?If we lived in a righteous nation, with a righteous government, then the government should be taking them. There’s no tragedy. I wish the government would round them all up, put them up against a firing wall, put a firing squad in front of them, and blow their brains out.

If we lived in a righteous government that loved God and loved children and wanted to protect them, that’s what we’d do. I’m not saying we should do it. I’m not saying we should go, you know, blow up Planned Parenthood. I’m not saying that at all. All I’m saying is this: If God has his way, that’s what he’d do. And by the way, in the millennium, that’s what will be done. God’s laws will be reestablished.

Nobody takes "Post" seriously anymore because it is just a mouthpiece for the Democratic party. So your wish to "expose" Trump will only succeed in demonizing him to fellow extremist proressives who are all voting for "The Bern" no matter what anyway.

It's amazing the depths you libs will descend into in order to justify anything in the name of King Barack.

The slogan, "Make America Great Again" is brilliant. Many of us have watched in disgust as Obama has led a fight against every American value conservatives hold dear. Obama has advanced LGBT rights, illegal alien rights, secularism, and Islam. He has encouraged discord among the races, defiance of police authority, and disregard for the separation of powers.

Many of us see Donald as a leader who will reverse the decline of western civilization and restore America to its rightful place in the world through truth, justice and the American way. This is reality. We need a superman to lead us, and that man is Donald Trump.

Enough of the Obama weakling and his sob sisters.

The UK Labor Pary, which is (in a way) the equivalent of the Democrat party in the USA, has nominated a Muslim terrorist and ISIS supporter as their candidate for the London Mayor’s race.

In an investigation by the UK Daily Mail, it was uncovered that the Labor Candidate, Mr. Sadiq Khan, has regularly appeared at events and associated with groups sponsored by Muslim terrorist groups. Pictures from events he attends regularly show the black flag of ISIS being waved as well as include people with clear terrorist connections such as Moazzam Begg and Anwar Al-Awlaki.

Mr. Khan is no fool. As with any politician, he knows who these groups are and what they stand for. As we have mentioned before, per Islamic theology, silence in the face of a situation is consent to it. There is no doubt that Mr. Khan knows the terrorist affiliations of these groups. It is the fact that he is silent in speaking against them, which is his consent to their actions.

san-man #fundie washingtonpost.com

Give me a break. When Rev. Louis Farrakhan, a well known hate preacher, was banned from entry into Britain, it was the illustrious Sadiq Khan who campaigned to have the ban overturned. Sadiq Khan has also gone out of his way to provide legal representation to various Islamist terrorists, including one imprisoned in Guantanamo. Note that Khan hasn't extended any similar support to British skinheads or IRA. So Mr Sadiq Khan is very selective on whose rights he'll campaign for - he gives preference to his own. With one out of every eight Londoners being Muslim and more than a third of Londoners being foreign-born, this election also showed how once again Muslims always vote for their own, and how whites are really the ones most likely to vote beyond their own ethnic group. Even I know that, and I'm a non-white Asian (my family actually comes from the same part of India that Sadiq Khan's family comes from.)

Trump showed magnanimity, and Sadiq Khan only showed his petty venal nature by shunning the hand extended to him. Oh, we know Khan cares about his family and his own - his entire political career is ample proof of that - but he can't seem to care more about the people who died in San Bernardino, or those who are going to die in the future as more extremists come into the West under carte-blanche open-border policies. I wish Khan would show the courage to campaign against the fundamentalists in his midst. Even the mosque he prays at in his home electoral district of Tooting has been mired in controversies, by discriminating against Muslims belonging to other sects. Islam can't even get along with its own, and they're trying to lecture the rest of us on tolerance??

Get out of town, man.

It's the Muslims that do not want to integrate into society. They want what they want when they want it! Then they cry and use our own freedoms and rights against us.

Indeed, a child is the mutual property of the race and ethnicity it belongs to. And it is up to those who make up that race collectively, to educate and protect them. How do we therefore justify allowing children to be adopted without consideration of race or sex? Both cases are examples of abuse, yet this society does nothing to protect the child.

Yet another egregious example of so-called progressive totalitarian selective democracy. So Daleiden's home gets raided, his computers, videos, and files get confiscated while the FBI patiently waited several months for Hillary Clinton to have her server, possible still containing thousands of secret government documents, delivered to them. First of all, what in the world do the videos Daleiden amassed have to do with prosecution for the use of possible fake driver’s licenses? Journalists and so many individuals have often resorted to such means to get into where they feel they need to get, but DAs do not order the confiscation of materials they collect. If that were the case then why are not all the documents, videos and files of illegal immigrants who are found using bogus government IDs also not subjected to the same treatment? Michael Moore has for years engaged in very similar tactics aimed at hurting businesses yet never has he been charged with conspiracy.

Aside from the traditional vicious vindictiveness that is so characteristic of so-called progressive liberals toward anyone who dares to bring to daylight some of the notorious activities their people are involved in, this case should serve as a warning to all of us of the creeping totalitarianism that awaits us if the inheritors of Obama's legacy succeed him in office. Obama cleverly wiggled out of the condemnation he should have been subjected to for grossly extending the government surveillance program of every American's correspondence within the Homeland. If anybody should be indicted first among them should be CA Attorney Harris for engaging in discriminative prosecutions and corruption in serving one of her financial benefactors.

Robert Weiler Jr et al #fundie washingtonpost.com

If he had to do it again, Robert Weiler Jr. wouldn’t have told his friend about his plan to blow up the Maryland abortion clinic. That was how he got caught 10 years ago. His friend told Weiler’s parents. His parents told the police. And Weiler, then 25, wound up spending almost five years in federal prison and three more on supervised release.

His regret, he says, is not that he was caught. It is that he didn’t achieve what he set out to do.

“I don’t object to the use of force to stop abortion at all,” Weiler says. “I believe it’s completely justified. If it weren’t for the fact that I’d probably go back to prison, I’d do it myself.”

Now the fervent activist is at the center of a different abortion battle — one that is playing out in the District just as the U.S. Supreme Court considers its most important abortion case in decades.

Weiler and four other abortion opponents are the targets of a closely watched lawsuit filed in December by Two Rivers Public Charter School. The high-performing school in Northeast Washington is seeking to restrict protests by anti-abortion activists of a Planned Parenthood clinic that is being built next door. The lawsuit filed in D.C. Superior Court charges that beginning last summer, Weiler and the other defendants have harassed students, some as young as 3, and their parents in an effort to halt construction of the clinic, which is scheduled to open its doors this spring.

The suit alleges that the defendants displayed gruesome images of aborted fetuses, held up signs declaring that a “murder facility” was being built next door and yelled at children such things as, “They are going to murder kids right next door if your parents don’t do something about it.”

Tony Goodman, an ANC commissioner and a parent of a 5-year-old kindergartner at the school, says that there was chaos when the protesters began targeting students last fall.

“It was disruptive and terrifying at times,” he said, “to have people yelling at kids right in front of us.” Although his own child was too young to fully understand why the protesters were there, Goodman said that many parents had to have difficult conversations with their children about the abortion issue.

Several of the defendants, including Weiler, have filed motions to have the suit dismissed, arguing that the school is trying to prevent them from exercising their First Amendment right to speak out on a matter of public concern.

An initial hearing has been pushed back until April 29, but the case is already being monitored by abortion providers, pro-life activists, civil libertarians and constitutional lawyers because it raises questions about what restrictions, if any, can be placed on protesters based on the nature of their message and intended audience.

Can activists be told they must limit the content of their protests? Is the nature of the protests causing the children emotional distress and irreparable harm? Can the school keep protesters a certain distance from school grounds? Can a school sue on behalf of its students?

All of these questions are before D.C. Superior Court Judge Jeanette J. Clark. In the meantime, the protesters are allowed to continue their activities at the school and the clinic that is under construction.

For his part, Weiler says that his appearances outside the clinic have been few. In November, he held up a large banner that read “They kill babies nearby! Tell your parents to stop them.” But when he was served with the lawsuit, he took it personally. He returned to the school to protest holding another sign that said “Two Rivers attacks free speech.”

Planned Parenthood protestors are seen outside the Two Rivers Public Charter School. (Two Rivers Public Charter School)
On the issue of abortion, Robert Weiler does not want to be told to be quiet.

Islamic Ideology Council #fundie washingtonpost.com

The groups trying to advance women’s rights in Pakistan’s deeply traditional patriarchal society suffered a painful blow last month when the national parliament refused to pass laws banning child marriage.

The same body has also said that taking DNA tests to identify a suspected rapist is against Islam.

An attorney for the family of one of the San Bernardino attackers cited conspiracy theories surrounding another mass shooting in trying to cast doubt on accounts of this week’s attack.

“There was a lot of questions drawn with regard to Sandy Hook and whether or not that was a real incident or not,” David Chesley, an attorney for the family of Syed Farook, said in a video uploaded Friday by the Daily Mail.

After that late 2012 shooting in Newtown, Conn., in which 27 people were killed, conspiracy theorists alleged that the attack was staged, perhaps as part of a plot to promote a gun control agenda — a sentiment Chesley appeared to echo in the video.

“There’s a lot of motivation at this time to emphasize or create incidents that will cause gun control or prejudice or hatred towards the Muslim community,” Chesley told reporters in the video.

“When we went to our questioning with the FBI, there were a lot of attempts to basically link this to online accounts or visits to the Middle East and every one of them just fell flat,” he said.

Chesley made similar allegations on CNN this week.

“There’s a lot of things that quite frankly don’t add up or seem implausible. — There’s a lot of things that just don’t make sense,” he told CNN’s Chris Cuomo.

Donald Trump #fundie washingtonpost.com

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has called for expanded surveillance of American Muslims, is refusing to rule out extreme measures that include warrantless searches or faith-based identification requirements.

"We're going to have to do things that we never did before. Some people are going to be upset about it, but I think that now everybody is feeling that security is going to rule,” Trump told Yahoo News in an interview published Thursday. “And certain things will be done that we never thought would happen in this country in terms of information and learning about the enemy. And so we’re going to have to do certain things that were frankly unthinkable a year ago.”

When pressed on whether these measures might include tracking Muslim Americans in a database or noting their religious affiliations on identification cards, Trump would not go into detail -- but did not reject the options.

“We’re going to have to — we’re going to have to look at a lot of things very closely,” Trump said. “We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.”

“And the Left went crazy, as you might expect, because they are a little more politically correct these days. And someone sent me an e-mail and said ‘Jeb, the term Redskins isn’t the pejorative; it’s Washington that’s the pejorative.’ If they’re going to change their name, I don’t know what you’d call it, Northern Virginia Redskins or something like that.”

The Liberal Establishment and particularly the WAPO will continue their takiyya of claiming moslems in America are a picked on and attacked group . The REALITY of course is that it is moslems, as a group, that are perpetrating religious hate crimes and savage atrocities. Americans are remembering which entities are protective of these atrocities, the WAPO is one. Lyin' Brian Williams is just one example of the perfidy of the news establishment.

Professor Randy Bott #fundie washingtonpost.com

In his office, religion professor Randy Bott explains a possible theological underpinning of the ban. According to Mormon scriptures, the descendants of Cain, who killed his brother, Abel, “were black.” One of Cain’s descendants was Egyptus, a woman Mormons believe was the namesake of Egypt. She married Ham, whose descendants were themselves cursed and, in the view of many Mormons, barred from the priesthood by his father, Noah. Bott points to the Mormon holy text the Book of Abraham as suggesting that all of the descendants of Ham and Egyptus were thus black and barred from the priesthood.

[...]

“God has always been discriminatory” when it comes to whom he grants the authority of the priesthood, says Bott, the BYU theologian. He quotes Mormon scripture that states that the Lord gives to people “all that he seeth fit.” Bott compares blacks with a young child prematurely asking for the keys to her father’s car, and explains that similarly until 1978, the Lord determined that blacks were not yet ready for the priesthood.

“What is discrimination?” Bott asks. “I think that is keeping something from somebody that would be a benefit for them, right? But what if it wouldn’t have been a benefit to them?” Bott says that the denial of the priesthood to blacks on Earth — although not in the afterlife — protected them from the lowest rungs of hell reserved for people who abuse their priesthood powers. “You couldn’t fall off the top of the ladder, because you weren’t on the top of the ladder. So, in reality the blacks not having the priesthood was the greatest blessing God could give them.”

If a transgender teacher is placed in my kid’s class, I have no recourse,” Appell said. “If I would like to remove my child from that class and put her in a class with a different teacher, I cannot do that because it would be akin to asking to have her moved from a teacher because they are African American or Hispanic. That’s scary. . . . It’s tough enough for a kid to process subtraction at six years old much less ‘Oh my teacher used to be a man and now she’s a woman.’ ”

various surveyed fundies #fundie washingtonpost.com

A new paper, published in the journal Social Forces by sociologist Gordon Gauchat of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee shows fundies reject science.

“The ‘direct effect’ of liberal-conservative orientation is spurious once the distinct belief systems that underlie those identifications are accounted for,” wrote Gauchat.

Which belief systems? In particular, being a biblical literalist — endorsing the statement, “The Bible is the actual word of God and is to be taken literally, word for word” — was a much bigger factor than liberalism or conservatism in explaining why some people disagreed with the use of science in “concrete government policy decisions,” and also why they were against federal science funding.

“Overall, these results show that perceptions of science are polarized, but this political discord reflects deeper cultural belief systems that cohere on the political right,” wrote Gauchat.

Gauchat also found something else striking: Political ideology became more significant in driving people’s views about science as they became more scientifically literate. Thus, being a liberal or a conservative alone didn’t matter much to how the questions above were answered – outside of the cases where political beliefs were combined with scientific knowledge.

“Only for scientifically sophisticated respondents, those 1.5 standard units above the mean, is conservative political ideology associated with less favorable views towards science’s authority,” wrote Gauchat. That’s not surprising: More scientifically literate conservatives are surely more literate and informed in all aspects of life, including politics. And thus, they’re more likely to be aware that the scientific community is a very politically liberal place, overall — far more liberal than the American public.

And knowing this, in turn, they’re inclined to distrust it.

King Salman/Zakir Naik #fundie washingtonpost.com

Over the weekend, Saudi Arabia's King Salman awarded a prestigious prize to Zakir Naik, a televangelist and religious scholar from India, heralding him as "one of the most renowned non-Arabic-speaking promulgators of Islam." Naik, a trained doctor, founded the Peace TV channel, which supposedly reaches an audience of 100 million English-speaking Muslims. His popular YouTube stream includes videos titled "Who is deceived by the Satan, Christians or Muslims?" and "Does eating non-vegetarian food have any effect on the mind?"

Naik's creed is an expansive one. "Islam is the only religion that can bring peace to the whole of humanity," he said in a video biography aired at the ceremony.

The preacher is not short of controversy. His orthodox, Wahhabist views — affiliated closely with the Saudi state — are polarizing in India, which is home to a diverse set of Muslim traditions and sects. His conservatism has led him to make statements endorsing the use of female sex slaves and allegedly expressing sympathy for terrorists

Earlier this year, hundreds of Sufi Muslims picketed a New Delhi event where Naik was speaking, demanding his arrest and accusing him of propagating a divisive, dangerous brand of Islam.

In a 2008 video, he claimed President George W. Bush was behind the Sept. 11 attacks. "Even a fool will know that this was an inside job," Naik said. Years before, he appeared to offer tacit backing to terrorist masterminds such as Osama bin Laden.

"If [Bin Laden] is terrorizing America the terrorist, the biggest terrorist, I am with him," he said in one video. "Every Muslim should be a terrorist."

In a video in 2007, he talked about how "Jews are controlling America."

In 2010, Britain's government barred his entry into the country on grounds of "unacceptable behavior."

Naik's supporters argue that his comments are taken out of context, and point to the religious diversity of those in attendance at his mass public events.

Speaking to the New York Times earlier this week, he condemned the violence of militants like those from the Islamic State, but not without a caveat. "I am absolutely against Muslims who kill, but what is the U.S. doing?” Naik said, citing civilian casualties amid U.S. campaigns in the Muslim world. "Is the U.S. really bothered about human rights? No!"

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Saudi Arabia late Wednesday to consult with Salman on the status of negotiations with Iran, a Saudi foe. The United States' close relationship with Saudi Arabia endures despite the kingdom's horrific human rights record and its conspicuous role in helping spread the views preached by Islamic supremacists such as Naik.

Naik, who has also been feted in the neighboring United Arab Emirates, reportedly received a 24-karat gold medal from the Saudi king and a check for $200,000.

How many influential American Jews had been implicated in colossal public or private scandals in the past 15 year, how many would it take for us to realize that influential Jews are fundamentally scandalous global elites and Untrustworthy.

No need to look far into Medieval history or Biblical history, just look at the past 15 years and see how many influential Jews in the United States alone had been directly or indirectly implicated in major public or private scandals and draw your own conclusions. Begin with Lehman Brothers, Ernie Madoff, Andrew Fastow, and now Jeffrey Epstein - conduct your own research and draw your own conclusions.

[A thriving subculture of road officers on the network now competes to see who can seize the most cash and contraband, describing their exploits in the network’s chat rooms and sharing “trophy shots” of money and drugs. Some police advocate highway interdiction as a way of raising revenue for cash-strapped municipalities.]

“All of our home towns are sitting on a tax-liberating gold mine,” Deputy Ron Hain of Kane County, Ill., wrote in a self-published book under a pseudonym. Hain is a marketing specialist for Desert Snow, a leading interdiction training firm based in Guthrie, Okla., whose founders also created Black Asphalt.

Hain’s book calls for “turning our police forces into present-day Robin Hoods.”

Adam Kwasman #racist washingtonpost.com

Arizona state Rep. and 1st district congressional candidate Adam Kwasman (R) rushed to the scene in Oracle, Ariz., on Tuesday to participate in protests against housing some of the thousands of undocumented immigrant children who have come across the border in recent weeks in a facility nearby. Kwasman was in the middle of a fiery speech about "Lady Justice" when he spotted a yellow school bus and dashed off with the protesters to greet it. He snapped a picture which he tweeted with he message "Bus coming in. This is not compassion. This is the abrogation of the rule of law."

"I was able to actually see some of the children in the buses and the fear on their faces. This is not compassion," Kwasman told 12 News reporter Brahm Resnik. There was just one problem: Those weren't undocumented kids. They were YMCA campers from the Marana Arizona school district. Kwasman later deleted his tweet, which was archived by the Sunlight Foundation's Politwoops Web site.

Big Four Accounting Firms #fundie washingtonpost.com

The big four multinational accounting firms — Ernst & Young, KPMG, Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers — took out ads in three Hong Kong papers saying that they are “opposed” to the democracy movement and complaining that the demonstrations are a threat to the rule of law. As reported in the Financial Times, the four accounting firms warned that the protests could disrupt the stock exchange, banks and financial service firms, causing “inestimable losses in the economy.” If such displays continued, they cautioned, their clients might pull up stakes and relocate to a city where the business climate isn’t dampened by pro-democracy demonstrators.
