[LI] After more than a year of escalating anti-Semitic attacks evidence shows that the key groups and figures behind the Black Lives Matter movement — heavily influenced in it’s ideology by Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam — have been instrumental in stoking Jew-hate disguised as social justice activism.
#1
Farrakhan is well known to the Jewish community especially by those older members who endured and survived the WWII concentration camps. Farrakhan is indeed hateful and an anti-semite.
#2
farrakhan is an awful one but unfortunately there are lots and lots of other blacks with various antisemitic views --- academia is filled with them

Not just African-Americans and Muslims, but plenty of Whites and Hispanics have taken up this fashionable idea — mostly on the Left, but also those among the Alt-Right who’ve decided that being pro-White means hating the Jews as fake Whites.
[American Thinker] Well, the Olympics television viewership ratings are in for NBC and, boy, are they ugly:
NBC’s primetime coverage of the Tokyo Olympics on July 26 averaged 14.7 million viewers -- for a 49% drop compared to the equivalent night from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games and 53% less than the 2012 London Olympics. The opening ceremonies saw their lowest viewership since 1988.
Fox News reports that the network is actually giving advertisers extra ad time just to make up for all the lost revenue.
And sure, there are a few reasons -- Simone Biles's exit, and subsequent Oprahfied melodrama about her mental health certainly sucked a lot of air out of the room. The capacity to watch the shows one likes on YouTube any time one likes is another. A third one is the International Olympic Committee getting rid of "guy" sports like wrestling in favor of circus-dancing contests (complete with sparkly lion-tamer costumes) such as rhythmic gymnastics. The big one, though, is the one the advertisers don't talk about: Wokester politics invading sports, which repels the public.
We saw that earlier, with professional basketball following professional football off the ratings cliff. Now the Olympics, and in particular, U.S. Olympics, has followed that sorry herd.
Some instances were out there, like turds in the Olympic punch bowl.
One, that character who crossed her arms on the Olympic podium to protest the U.S. after winning Olympic silver. Who the heck was she and what can we do to ensure we never hear from her again?
The most memorable photo so far.
The Odd colored hair, ?Female? Anti-USA, Pro Woke, BLM and etc. claimed soccer team, losing while playing politics for personal fame.

We are not hearing the all-important age group breakdown for the viewership, so you know it's bad. Going to bet the sort of white kids I saw at the beach today listening to hip-hop did not watch the Olympics at all. Yes, I was at the beach today. My 62nd b'day, I took the day off. Bourbon, porterhouse and a bit later cigar and double fudge chocolate cake. Happy birthday to me...

Happy birthday, dear M! May the pleasures of this day foreshadow an amazing year to come!
[AlAhram] Despite remaining the most influential party in the decade since the North African country's revolution, Ennahdha was already wracked by internal divisions before last month's 'earthquake'.
Tunisian President Kais Saied's move to sack the government and dissolve parliament two weeks ago has triggered what experts say is an existential crisis for his nemesis, the Islamist-inspired party Ennahdha.
Despite remaining the most influential party in the decade since the North African country's revolution, Ennahdha was already wracked by internal divisions before last month's "earthquake".

Via Colonel Cassad (Boris Rozhin):
[ConsortiumNews] The monarchical-sounding declaration by Kaïs Saïed eight days ago was stunning: the president who was freely elected in 2019 (for only the second time in Tunisian history) was basically proclaiming a coup d’etat by dismissing the prime minister and suspending parliament.
Saïed was elected nine years after the overthrow of President Zine Ben Ali, who in 1987 as the security chief launched a coup against Habib Bourguiba, the founding president of Tunisia. The 1987 coup was classified in Arab political terminology as a “medical coup”, because Ben Ali stated that Bourguiba was no longer mentally fit to assume the duties of the office.
As is well-known, the protests against the corruption and repression of Ben Ali (a darling of Western governments and lending institutions) sparked the Arab uprisings in December 2010.
SURPRISE WINNER
Kaïs Saïed was an unexpected victor in the 2019 presidential election. He was a professor of constitutional law, did not belong to a political party and was not affiliated with any political ideology.
He won support in television debates largely due to his strong command of classical Arabic in a country where French influence remains strong.
Furthermore, Saïed’s campaign was noted for his firm and categorical denunciation of any normalization with Israel. His answers regarding Palestinian rights and rejection of Israel were a hit on social media, and helped propel him to the top job.
Saïed attracted support among Tunisian youth because he represented a new genre of politicians who have not been tainted by the corrupt system.
The political system that emerged after the end of the Ben Ali rule suffered from many weaknesses; the divide between the secularists and the Islamists only widened, and the regional, political wars between the UAE and Saudi Arabia on the one hand, and Qatar and Turkey on the other hand, raged inside Tunisia, just as they did in Libya and elsewhere.

[Victory Girls] Mike Rowe offered up his take on vaccines and the politics surrounding the virus in a thoughtful Facebook post two days ago.
In his opening he makes it clear that, while he himself did his own research and made his own personal choice to get vaccinated, he has refused multiple requests to do public service announcements pushing for folks to get vaccinated. Why?
Let’s look at what he had to say in regards to the whole ’2 weeks to flatten the curve’ mess, and his own commentary about all of us being in the same boat.
Well, I was wrong about that, too. We were not in the same boat, not then or now. We were in the same storm, but our boats were very different. Some prospered during the lockdowns and rode out the gale in yachts and pleasure crafts. Others floundered and weathered the storm in rowboats and dinghies. Some had no boat at all and hung on for dear life to whatever flotsam and jetsam they could find. Point is, I said some things I regret back then, and spoke too broadly to too many. Thus, the only thing I’ll say now regarding the vaccine, is that there is risk in everything we do, and there is risk in everything we don’t do. Thus, there is risk in getting vaccinated, and there is risk in not getting vaccinated.
All you have to do is look around you to see who did and who didn’t benefit from the two weeks of lockdowns that were extended for over 18 months. The big box stores and big groceries were deemed essential. Small businesses were shut down. Our children were kept out of school, out of sports, playgrounds were shut down, and the hysteria of fear-mongering by politicians and the media ramped up to a billion.
Yet now, with a significant portion of the population vaccinated, masking is being reimposed. But the vaccines were supposed to work..right? And no, I don’t mean that the vaccines were supposed to be a CURE, the vaccines were supposed to be a means of protection against the original virus (if we even know what it is) and protection against what we’d have to deal with regarding the variants, just like the flu shot does. Side note: Has anyone had the flu in the last two years?
Mike Rowe goes on to point out the issues of mixed messaging that we’ve received from our betters in the media and politics.
Small businesses do day an night bare knuckle operations close to where the tires meet the roads. They experience the reality of life and thus lean heavily Trunk. See - whiteness
The Big Box Store is operated by a large management team that doesn't practice management by walking around to understand the business. They only know what happens in the upper echelons in moving paper. They don't sweat the grind. They donate to the Socialist (not much differently than a Chinese businessman deals with the Party in China). Are the real 'white privilege' they all talk about, though projecting on others.
Yes. The numbers for 2020 show the normal two-peak influenza numbers in addition to the COVID numbers.

I have been wearing a mask when I go in stores requiring their employees to wear em. I say "If you have to wear em, I will too." Get nothing but appreciation from the people I say that to. We often then go on to discuss how it's bullshit but not worth getting fired over.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
