The necessity of being woke makes you do stupid things. A good example is Historic Photographs postin the Boof of Feces:

Nathuram Godse was not a Right Wing White Supremacist like the idiots from HP try to portray him but a Hindu who saw the splitting of India to create Pakistan as treason. In fact there is no Pakistan till 14 August 1947, less than a year before the creation of the State of Israel. Interesting the double standard on how to treat modernly-created countries, no?  That would actually make Nathuram Godse a Hindu version of a Palestinian sympathyzer. If the Partition of India was not bad enough, the relocation of some 12 million people leaving in its wake a million dead by means of force, may have something to do with inflaming the altready hot  emotions about the creation of Pakistan and the hate against Gandhi.  We are told the Non-Violence Movement was mostly a success, but we are never told what happened after the Union Jack was loweded. The years of political confussion and wholesale genocide and millions of refugees are never mentioned.

But if the above is not bad enough, remember that the name of this page is Historic Photographs. Which brings us to the choice of the day you see above: A very nice, very impacting capture of the deaths of the Mahatma. Except that is a photographic still from the movie  ‘Nine Hours to Rama‘.

But hey! We Woke! Siorry if history needs to take one for the team.

From the New York Post:

Suspects accused of running $7M fentanyl ring released without bail

Six suspected drug dealers who are accused of running a $7 million fentanyl distribution operation out of a Bronx apartment were released without bail under the state’s new criminal justice law early Wednesday.

Of course they were.  The last year we have data for is 2018, and overdose deaths hit an all-time high of 72,000 per year and they are only getting worse.  So why not let a bunch of fentanyl traffickers just walk free without bail?

Hundreds of thousands of the envelopes packed with the powder were spread across two tables and overflowing from boxes in the apartment, authorities said.

The drugs, which have a street value of about $7 million, were believed to be headed onto the streets of New York and New England, the prosecutor’s office said. Lab results on the drugs were pending Wednesday morning.

Despite the volume of the drugs seized, all six suspects were cut loose at their arraignments in Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday morning.

Why hold them on bail, they were only caught we enough drugs to kill a small American city?

The judge ordered them to turn over their passports, as a number of them have connections to the Dominican Republic. They’re all due back in court Feb. 27.

Does anybody really believe that a sanctuary city can keep people without a passport from leaving if they don’t even want to keep people without a passport from coming in?  They are out of the country and not coming back.

Their lawyers argued none of the defendants have criminal records and noted family members of the suspects turned up for their arraignments.

Supporters in court early Wednesday waved their hands in celebration as the six suspects walked out.

Because they know their family members will never see the inside of a jail.

Welcome to New York, where you can be caught red-handed measuring out a mountain of drugs, and the city will just let you walk.

Why should the police even bother risking their lives to enforce the law if the courts are just going to let people walk?

It’s crystal clear that the political activist class that supports these laws has no interest in maintaining an orderly, safe, and civil society.

I just can’t figure out what they want.

This is a no-bullshit headline from The Washington Post:

Bernie Sanders may soon have to confront this anti-Semitic myth
A conspiracy theory dating to the Russian revolution says socialism is a Jewish plot. Expect it to surface in ugly ways.

This was written by a April Rosenblum, a self-described Jewish writer and researcher on “on race, class and Jewish identity.”

As Iowa’s Democratic caucuses approach, polls show that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is gaining traction. Sanders evokes strong reactions from all sides. Supporters see the Jewish democratic socialist as an unapologetic straight shooter who takes uncompromising stands against structural inequality. Detractors criticize his socialist ideology itself or paint Sanders as free-spending and fuzzy on details.

He’s a Socialist who has praised every Socialist dictator until that Dictator failed.  He supported the Soviet Union until its collapse, then supported Hugo Chavez until Venezuela turned to shit.  He’s more than fuzzy on details, taking advantage of the hurt and suffering of young people that have suffered at the corruption of the worst of Wall Street and selling these people an impossible utopia.

But Sanders could face another kind of attack in a general election — one based not on critiques of his policies or personality but on a much more old-fashioned suspicion. It’s a form of anti-Semitism that was born 100 years ago. If Sanders continues his political momentum, we all may soon confront it again.

Does she mean that he surrounds himself with anti-Semites like Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and other Jew-hating Progressives?

Of course not.

The story begins in 1917, when governments around the world were shocked by the fall of the czar and the seizure of power by Russian revolutionaries. As a civil war raged, Russians opposed to the revolution found one of their most powerful rhetorical tools in the Russian Empire’s rich legacy of anti-Semitic teachings.

That’s how the myth of Judeo-Bolshevism was born, defined by historian Paul Hanebrink as the belief that communism was a Jewish plot. The idea rapidly crossed borders, as pro-monarchy Russian exiles settled in Berlin, Paris and other European cities. The emigres’ descriptions of a fearsome takeover by Jewish revolutionaries found an eager public reception.

This writer goes on to criticize Winston Churchill and the United States.  This is literally the only sentence she says about the Nazis.

It was largely by sounding alarms about the Judeo-Bolshevik threat that the Nazis rose to power and mobilized for genocide.

She does touch on Henry Ford, but doesn’t make the connection complete.

In the United States, where the first Red Scare was ramping up in the 1920s, respected leaders subscribed to the Judeo-Bolshevik myth, among them Henry Ford, who introduced it to the public in the anti-Semitic newspapers he gave out at every dealership, and State Department staffers and senior military officers.

Let me spell this out.  The idea that Communism was a Jewish plot is straight out of Adolf Hitler’s writings and speeches.

Socialism was all the rage in Europe.

Hitler led the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.  Make no mistake about it, Nazism was Socialism.  So was Mussolini’s Fascism.  Fascism was Italian Socialism named for the Roman symbol of the Fasces, which is a bundle of sticks symbolizing strength through unity.

Soviet Socialism was Communism, there was some difference in how Lenin and Stalin carried it out, but those are very minor distinctions.

The argument between Nazism and Communism wasn’t far-Right vs. far-Left, it was which far-Left ideology would be the one to take over the world as a worker’s paradise.

There were pro-Communist forces in Germany at the time, and Hitler spread the idea that Communism was a Jewish plot to drive Germans towards Nazism and away from Soviet-style Communism.

Henry Ford, in his treatise, The International Jew, spread the lie of Jewish Communism because Ford was a supporter of Hitler and wanted the US to ally itself with Germany and against England.  Many American anti-Semites held this position, including the hero at the time, Charles Lindbergh.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why a Jewish researcher would ignore all of this.

She touches on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and then ignores the worst of that too.

By 1920, popular interest had ignited a publication boom for “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” the Russian hoax that explained modern evils as the result of a vast conspiracy of Jews uniting to subjugate the globe.

I wonder why she left out that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is one of the most popular books sold in the Middle East?

For Jews, the myth of Judeo-Bolshevism was tinged with tragic irony. Thousands of Jews did initially find inspiration in the Soviet vision of a fair world for everyone, including its promises to undo Russia’s legacy of anti-Semitism.

One Jewish communist captured the sense of relief and hope that many felt early in the Soviet era: “There was a tremendous joy and a tremendous friendship between the Gentiles and the Jews. We thought that this was like the Messiah came.”

Yet over time, Soviet actions showed precisely how little power Jews had over the state: Soviet leaders systematically repressed Yiddish culture, lost interest in interrupting popular violence against Jews and eliminated Jewish leaders through exile, secret executions and show trials.

So why do Progressive Jews support Socialism if it’s a death sentence for the Jews?  How many times do Jews have to learn that lesson the hard way?

If there is a Jewish candidate come November — even one very different from Sanders, such as former New York mayor and billionaire Mike Bloomberg — understanding the peculiar contours of anti-Semitism will be a critical asset for voters. Biases against other groups, such as African Americans, indigenous people or Latinos, have tended to paint them as morally flawed or culturally inferior. These tropes serve to justify robbing them of power: stealing their labor or their land, withholding public services from them or profiting from their incarceration. But anti-Semitism is based on inflating Jews’ imagined power. It describes Jews as the ultimate masterminds, in league together to dominate the world’s unsuspecting non-Jews.

“The Jews are too rich, have too much money, are the landlords, or are oppressing the poor, brown, Palestinians and so it’s social justice to attack them” describes the attacks on Jews by Leftists on college campuses and minorities in New York/New Jersey.  It’s something they share with the White Supremacists.

To be honest, the only thing related to anti-Semitism I’ve seen from Conservatives regarding Bernie is calling him out for aligning with anti-Semites.

What shape might this view take in a general election? Anti-Semites might not openly name Jews as the enemy. They might more subtly urge voters to “fight back” against the shadowy forces manipulating the little guy, such as George Soros, “globalists” or international bankers.

George Soros is one of the evilest human beings to exist on earth right now.  I am tired of hearing how any attack on George Soros is veiled anti-Semitism.  The man makes his money by profiting off the destruction of national economies.  He has used his money to influence local politicians into supporting the sorts of open borders and bail reform that is turning American cities into violent cesspools.  There is a special place in hell for him.

Or they might grow more explicit, turning Sanders’s powerful criticisms of a rigged economy around to argue that Democrats’ messages of equality are a ruse.

It is a ruse, just ask the people who paid off their student loan on their own.

Sanders’s supporters think his outsider appeal can bring in disaffected voters. But anti-Semitism says that it is non-Jews who have been made outsiders, and that taking the country back requires uniting against Jews.

In an economy where more people feel like outsiders than insiders, this is a message with dangerous appeal — and Jews aren’t the only ones at risk. The Judeo-Bolshevist myth doesn’t just preach that Jews are bad; it says that the search for “impossible equality” is itself morally suspect. The reality is that defending Jews and defending the right of all people to fight for a fair economy will be one struggle.

There is the point.  See, if you are not an impossible utopia Socialist, you are an anti-Semite.

So what does that say for all the Progressive socialists who are ardent Jew-haters?

Or the Conservatives who have been more supportive of the Jews than the Left in America?

This isn’t about real anti-Semitism.  This is a way for a Progressive Socialist to put you in a double bind where either you agree with her or you are a racist.

Anti-Semitism poses a threat to Democrats in 2020. The answer is not to hide from it.

I think she misspelled that.  It should read.  “Democrats are hiding from the anti-Semitic threat they pose in 2020.”

When anti-Semitism increases, even non-Jews can’t escape it. Just ask Franklin D. Roosevelt, who presided during the last historic rise of American anti-Semitism. Roosevelt wasn’t Jewish, but that didn’t protect him from consistent rumors that he was secretly a Jew or that he was a puppet of his Jewish advisers.

Fuck this woman.  FDR was not a victim.  He prohibited Jews escaping Nazi Germany from gaining refugee status in the US, and then put together a plan to round up Holocaust survivors and deport them to Madagascar, along with as many American Jews as he could entice to leave.

The only reason this didn’t happen is because of a blood clot, and Truman took on look at FDR’s plan and said: “fuck this shit.”

FDR had the blood of countless Jews on his hands.  I hope the Devil is giving it to his crippled ass with a cactus strap-on in hell for that.

Nor was this phenomenon limited to the 1930s — look at the anti-Semitic rhetoric used in 2016 against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, both by Republican candidate Donald Trump and his supporters.

What the fuck is she talking about?  Are we discussing the same Hillary Clinton that used to call people a “fucking Jew bastard?”  Seems she was more on the supply than the receive side for anti-Semitism.

Americans will need a candidate who can slay this dragon, a leader who understands that the answer to both anti-Semitism and inequality in America is to face them head-on. Such a candidate will need supporters who grasp how anti-Semitism works in America: its deep roots, its power to divide movements and its strategic role in silencing people who know how possible equality really is. 

And that candidate is a Socialist who thought Chavez’s Venezuela was more of the American Dream than America and surrounds himself with vicious anti-Semites.

If Bernie experiences anti-Semitism, it’s because it’s coming from his staff.

This article is pure garbage.  It ignores or rewrites huge swaths of history, and covers over the stain of anti-Semitism to promote Bernie, who is an evil man, and denouncing his detractors as anti-Semites.

I shouldn’t be surprised that a Progressive writer for the Washington Post could be this wrong on so many things, but I am.

This firearm may not look like much, but it is still very dangerous in the wrong hands.

Only if it is used as a club! No hammer and no main spring? And I am not very happy with the cylinder either which is not an original to the gun and I would not be surprised if it even synchronized.

Transit officers from District 34 were able to recover it after breaking up a fight

Well, no shit it was a regular fight and not a gun fight. You need operating guns to actually shoot bullets. Maybe it is time to raise the trigger pull from 12 pounds to 22 to make sure this pool of intellectual ballistics does no harm.

You may have seen already this panel where some overly self-steemed liberal goes on a rant mocking Trump and his voters with the laughing bkessings of CNN”s host Don Lemon.

It is not that CNN has enough problems with credibility and ratings (Cartoon Network constantly does better than the News channel)  but the GOP came out with a very nice and very effective ad using that little bit of pretentious stupid to reinforce the base and possibly even adding a voter or two for November

Once more: Philosophy is not Strategy.

The mainstream media in the United States hate guns and wants them banned.  Just watch CNN or MSNBC, or read just about every newspaper in the country.

Also, those same reporters all think they are smarter than you because they have degrees from elite schools.

So it infuriates them when they run into the reality of not knowing basic things that millions of flyover state, Untermenschen, who didn’t go to Ivy or Little Ivy know and make look easy.

If you want to know why elites use trucker or trucking as an insult, it’s because they have no idea how to do an air brake check.  All those buttons, gauges, and mechanical parts confuse them.  But because someone with a high school diploma and several months of CDL training can do, and they with their Harvard degree can’t, they dismiss it and belittle it rather than admit that they don’t know everything in the known universe.

So, how does this relate to gun control?

Watch this:

https://twitter.com/Julio_Rosas11/status/1220373650274168833

Any responsible gun owner and/or member of the gun community would know not to point a gun at a buddy and pull the trigger.

Here is this reporter trying to explain guns to you like he knows his shit, and when handed one acted like a fucking doofus and under any other circumstances could have put a couple of rounds through his buddy.

Since he can’t admit that he’s a fuckup around guns and should probably stick to explaining things he knows like how to properly take care up a gender-neutral, vegan cat in an apartment the size of a coffin in Manhattan, he’s going to tell you why guns themselves need to be banned because you’re too irresponsible to own them.

It’s pure projection.

Maybe what we should do is require that gun ownership be mandatory in the US, like Kennesaw, Georgia did for the city.  Give it two weeks and the Blue bubbles in America will thin themselves out pretty substantially by being stupid.

Previous engagements are interfering today. I have been keeping an eye on stuff, but we are in the low tide of information and events.
