…..I haven’t a clue what their problem is with each other…..but there’s an ad out now featuring retired Air Force Col. Tom Moe….who is….they say….a former Vietnam POW…..and he said… “You might not care if Donald Trump says Muslims should register with their government, because you’re not one,” says Moe, to an ominous soundtrack. “And you might not care if Donald Trump says he’s going to round up all the Hispanic immigrants, because you’re not one. And you might not care if Donald Trump says it’s okay to rough up black protesters, because you’re not one. And you might not care if Donald Trump wants to suppress journalists, because you’re not one. But think about this: If he keeps going, and he actually becomes president, he might just get around to you. And you better hope there’s someone left to help you.”…….here’s something else which is very interesting…. “First they came for the Socialist and I did not speak out – because I’m not a Socialist….Then they came for the Trade Unions and I didn’t not speak out – because I was not a Trade Unionist….Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew…..Then they came for me – and there was no left to speak for me”…..those words are from Martin Niemöller (1892 – 1984)….who was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler….and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in a concentration camp.
DON’T KNOW WHO WROTE IT……BUT THANKS FOR SHARING RONNIE…. “When a faithfully married black president who was the son of a single mother, the first black editor of Harvard Law review and a professor of constitutional law is considered unintelligent, immoral, and anti-American by the right while a xenophobic, misogynistic, “serially philandering,” trust fund kid who quotes from the National Enquirer, peddles conspiracy theories, routinely calls women fat and ugly, calls McCain a loser for having been a prisoner of war, and who has advocated torture and the bombing of women and children has captured the hearts of a majority of Republicans. This is white supremacy folks. Plain and simple.”
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION…..Besides the fact that a lot of people had some issues….booing and protesting.….Michelle Obama gave a wonderful speech…..that left people cheering and with tears in their eyes…..she did more than anyone has ever done when it comes to uniting the party..…. “The story of generations of people who have felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation but who kept on striving and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves and watch my daughters, two intelligent young black women, playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters, now take for granted that a woman can become president of the United States. So don’t let anyone tell you this country isn’t great, that somehow we need to make it great again because this right now is the greatest country on earth.”……she delivered a wonderful speech….too bad she wasn’t talking about Elizabeth Warren…..and Donald Trump went nuts on Twitter…..bashing every speaker except one…..Michelle Obama…..even he’s scared of that woman.
MULTIPLE DEAD, INJURED IN KNIFE ATTACK OUTSIDE TOKYO….It seems like this madness isn’t limited to one particular area or country….19 dead…..45 injured….and this dude is a sicko….he wanted to rid the world of disabled people.
FRANCE GETS HIT AGAIN….This time by a teenager who was basically a ticking time bomb….how can someone kill an 86-year-old priest?….this kid was stopped by the German police after he was accused of trying to travel to Syria….and they sent him back to France….the next time he tried to get to Syria….Turkey busted him and sent him back to France again…and they locked him up for awhile….only to later release him on the condition he wore an electronic monitor so the authorities would know where he is….and we see how well that idea worked out…..and the police had this kid under surveillance.
AUSTRALIA: CHILDREN STRIPPED, ASSAULTED AND TEAR-GASSED AT DETENTION CENTER…..Talk about taking a page out of the U.S. penal system….Four Corners…which is an investigative program…showed children as young as 10 being stripped naked, assaulted, tear-gassed and kept in solitary confinement…..in a video…you see a child strapped to a chair….with a spit-hood over his head…..so much for rehabilitation….seems more like programming.
PROTEST FOLLOW POLICE KILLING OF BLACK MAN IN CANADA….This is for those of you who want to jet to Canada….if the nut job wins the White House job….an immigrant from Somalia…who suffered from an unspecified mental illness died after a confrontation with the police….they did a Rodney King for a while….and then handcuffed him….Black Lives Matter Toronto said police brutality against minorities often goes ignored in Canada….Fredy Villanueva’s shooting in Montreal in 2008…led to the founding of an independent agency that investigates police violence….2015…..a man from South Sudan….with a history of mental illness….was killed and the officer was found not guilty….ok….if you have a crazy person running towards you….what would you do?…..put him down….or empty a clip in him?….2013 Sammy Yatim was shot 8 times and then tasered….after he pulled a knife on a streetcar….the officer was found guilty of attempted murder…..and now they’re into using the good old… “Stop and Frisk”….except they are using it as a carding procedure….which is being disproportionately against young blacks….same thing over here….stop you and card you…..Canada’s black and Aboriginal communities are targeted at a great per capita than the rest of its society….talk about a parallel universe…..but…..the good thing is….Canada has fewer acts of violence than the U.S….and much of that can be attributed to a wide social safety net and far less access to hand guns…..just wanted those of you who are contemplating packing up the cover wagon and head North….to know what’s happening…..up North!
