[Breitbart] Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has warned major technology companies such as Facebook and Twitter to do more on the issue of "hate speech," or face fines and greater regulation.
Talking to the UK Disinformation Service BBC ahead of the South by Southwest (SXSW) technology festival in Austin, Texas, Khan said that companies must be "chivvied and cajoled to take action."
"We have evolving economies, which means we should have evolving regulations," he said. "For too long politicians and policymakers have allowed this revolution to take place around us and we’ve had our heads in the sand."
He went on to reference German hate speech laws, put in place by Angela Merkel in response to growing resentment at her open-door migration policy, with companies now facing fines up to 50 million euros.
"Germany is an example of where the German government said ’Enough," he continued. "Unless you take down hate messages, unless you take down fake news, we will fine you’.
"I want to work with the tech companies, but you have to be responsible," he added.
Khan also reiterated his opposition to President Donald Trump, claiming that Trump’s decision to retweet a member far-right activist group Britain First had led to increased levels of abuse directed at him.

First off - what do any of these topics have to do with being mayor of London? Not a damn thing.

I’m waiting to see it revealed that he was a customer of one of the Moslem child grooming rings that must have existed in London for the past forty years, carefully not noticed by police and social workers.
[Atlanta Journal Constipation] Former President Jimmy Carter said Sunday that "while I don’t agree with everything that President Trump has done, I think it’s good that he’s decided to go" meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
"If we could avoid a nuclear confrontation with North Korea, that would be a wonderful achievement," Carter, 93, told his Sunday school class at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains. "It’s good we’re going to be talking to them."
Thursday’s announcement that Trump would accept Kim’s invitation to meet has been controversial in some quarters. It was especially timely where Carter was concerned.
"I had made arrangements last week with the White House to have some experts come down and give me an up-to-date briefing on what’s going on concerning North Korea," he said. "They came down the day that Kim Jong Un invited Trump to come over. So we had a lot to talk about."
[LI] Earlier this week Senate Democrats introduced a tax plan designed to show what Democrats can be expected to do should they win back majorities in Congress.
Their press release refers to their avoidance of "gimmicks and giveaways"; this appears to be a reference to the bonuses, pay raises, and private sector investment and job creation afforded by the new tax law. All of which, the Democrat proposal would roll back.
The Democrat’s plan calls for new taxes, rolling back the death tax, cutting off the "crumbs" that are making their way into Americans’ wallets, and $1 trillion in infrastructure spending, among other items.

Yep - please run on tax hikes, expanding welfare rolls, importing millions more illegal immigrants, general anti-white and anti-male sentiment, abolishing ICE, 'climate change' and Russiagate. It's a sure-fire plan!

Show the workers on the plantation, that the resources and income they generate belongs to the those up in the manor house. Explain to them that they should he happy with what the masters leave them.
[Fox] Sunday on NBC’s "Meet the Press," Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said she knew who she was when host Chuck Todd when pressed her on her claims of a Native-American heritage.
When asked about taking a DNA test, Warren said, "Look, I do know. I know who I am and never used it for anything. Never got any benefit from it anywhere." "It's not like it got me into Harvard law school or something!"

On the side, many real native Americans refuse to get DNA tests to clarify their ancestry & assist with identifying their relatives who were given out for adoption decades ago. Many reasons include: not wanting to send their bodily fluids outside of their control (i.e, witchcraft), wanting to avoid recognition of extramarital affairs prior to their birth and wanting to pretend they have a much higher blood quantum than they really do.

I believe both Warren and Obama lied to get preferential admissions into college. He claimed he was from Kenya and she claimed indian heritage. Both were later somewhat embarrassed by that and had to do some fast talking, transcript hiding. Among elites such corruptions is probably pretty common.
Josey Wales: It ain't supposed to be easy
to sneak up behind an Indian.
Indian: I'm an Indian, all right. But here in the Nation, they call us the civilized tribe. They call us civilized because we're easy to sneak up on. White men have been sneaking up on us for years.
