Trump won the election, but white supremacy won't win forever

Malveaux says that Hillary Clinton failed to energize the base, or transcend the indifference that too many voters felt for her.
By Julianne Malveaux (NNPA Newswire Contributor)
I began election night with exuberance. I was among the many who forecast a Hillary win. The only disagreement among my circle was how big the Hillary rout would be. I thought she'd get at least 300 electoral college votes, and hoped that she'd thump Trump by getting as many as 340, holding him to less than 200 electoral college votes. The tables were turned and Trump was the one doing the thumping, with the electoral vote count estimated to be 290-228 (at this writing, final counts were not in). Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, garnering around 600,000 more votes than Donald Trump.
White folks won the day for Trump in an amazing showing of white solidarity. Trump took 58 percent of the white vote, but did not get a majority vote from any other racial/ethnic group. Only 8 percent of African Americans voted for Trump. He did better among Asian Americans (29 percent) and Hispanics (nearly 30 percent). White people repudiated Hillary Clinton and embraced Trump as one of their own, despite his racist, misogynistic, and jingoistic rhetoric.
Hillary Clinton counted on white women, especially college-educated white women, to save the day. Clearly, they were not with her. According to Edison Research exit polls, Trump won 45 percent of college-educated white women and 62 percent of white women non-college graduates. Trump won 53 percent of the total white female vote. The college-educated white women's narrow vote for Clinton did not overcome the overwhelming support other whites gave him. white women valued culture and class over gender. Many of them are the mothers, daughters, sisters or wives of the white men who gave Trump 63 percent of their vote.
Hillary Clinton failed to energize the base, or transcend the indifference that too many voters felt for her. Turnout was only 56.8 percent, just one percent higher than 2012, and lower than the 58.2 percent turnout in 2008. More than 95 million people who were eligible to vote didn't show up to the polls.
The Republican vote was similar for Trump and for Mitt Romney, the last Republican Presidential nominee. Democrats turned out in much lower numbers for Clinton than they did for Obama. Why? Voter suppression is part of the answer. There were nearly 900 fewer voting places in 2016 than in 2012. Further, states like Wisconsin, which Hillary lost by less than a percentage point, introduced new voter ID laws between 2012 and 2016. Clinton lost by less than 2 percent of the vote in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
People of color were more likely to be affected by voter suppression measures than whites. In Durham, North Carolina, voting machines weren't working, and a judge ruled to keep the polls open longer to compensate for the broken machines. Clinton lost North Carolina by less than 4 percent. How many more might have voted, but for broken machines and other chicanery?

As the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry continues to strive towards our goal to be recognized as the top clinical and top clinical research program in the nation, we are having to reply upon the generosity and support of our alumni and friends. Your gift is an investment in our future and will help to shape the future of dentistry through excellence in education, patient care, research, community service, faculty and facilities.
Donors can help the College of Dentistry meet the challenges of the future through several gift methods. Outright gifts may be designated to certain programs or unrestricted for use where the need or opportunity is the greatest. Certain methods of giving provide tax or estate planning benefits. Contact the Office of Development at (405) 271-4380 for more information.
Gifts of cash may be deducted up to 50% of adjusted gross income. Gifts of appreciated real or personal property may be deducted up to 30% of adjusted gross income. Excess deductions may be carried over for up to five (5) additional years.
Most importantly, for those interested in furthering the purposes of any area within the College of Dentistry, the development staff can help explore methods of gift giving most advantageous to the donor. We thank you for both your consideration and generosity.
The majority of gifts to any area of the College of Dentistry are cash. An unrestricted gift to be used for priority needs is of great benefit. Gifts may be designated for any activity, department, or program within the College of Dentistry. Checks should be made payable to the OU Foundation, Inc.
Gifts of appreciated securities can provide special tax advantages, including avoiding capital gains and deduction at the current fair market value. The simplest way to make a gift of stock is to contact the Office of Developemnt.
Gifts of homes, farms and other real property can receive the same tax treatment as gifts of securities: no capital gains plus deductibility at current fair market value. Usually, the OU Foundation, Inc. will accept gifts of real estate to benefit the College of Dentistry if there are no restrictions placed on selling the property.
When the OU Foundation, Inc. is named as the sole owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy, the contributor is eligible to receive an immediate charitable deduction for the lesser of the policy's fair market value or the net premiums paid. Premiums paid later may also be deductible.
Any gift may be designated in memory or honor of a relative or friend. The family of the individual will be notified of such thoughtfulness.
Another way to support the College of Dentistry is through gifts of tangible property. The contributor may be eligible for a deduction equal to the full current fair market value.
Contributors are able to increase the value of each gift through an employer's matching gift program. The value of each contribution may be increased once, twice or even three times. The corporate personnel office usually provides information. Often gifts of retirees and spouses are also eligible for match. The proper form for realizing the match should be enclosed with each gift.
Although outright gifts provide valuable support for current programs, long-term gifts provide substantial support for future programs. This form of giving is particularly suitable for those who desire to make a larger gift than may be possible outright. The allowable estate tax deduction for charitable gifts remains unlimited under the tax laws.
Those desiring to increase their cash flow and perhaps that of a spouse, and at the same time provide a significant gift, should consider establishing a life income arrangement.
The most desirable situation might be to use a non-income producing appreciated asset, such as real property, to fund a trust. The trust may stipulate the contributor or spouse be paid income for a fixed period of time or for life.
The most frequent form of a long-term gift is a specific bequest in a will. A will is a very personal matter and should be prepared with an attorney. Development staff are available upon request to aid in drafting the appropriate bequest clause.

The Good Friday Agreement 20 Years On: 'Women's Work'
Project October 19, 2018
Julia Canney
2018 Reporting Fellow
A mural reading 'End Sectarianism: Bring Down The Walls' on the Falls Road mural wall in Belfast. Image by Julia Canney. Northern Ireland, 2018.
Twenty years on from the Good Friday Agreement, a peace agreement that ended three decades of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland and around the border, communities within the country are still struggling every day to ensure that the tense peace created by the agreement remains in place. This charge is led by women—women who were organizing peace marches during the tumultuous 1970s and 1980s, women who work in community organizing and women's centers throughout Belfast and Derry, and women who only recently began talking about their own traumas from The Troubles—many out of a desire to ensure that their children will not have to live through the same conflict that they did.
However, the work being done by women, who were consistently the ones who maintained peace in their communities during The Troubles, is stymied by a non-existent government and funders who are loathe to contribute resources to programs that they claim don't directly benefit the peace process. These women are now forced to deal with and heal the inter-generational traumas experienced by their parents, their families, and themselves—without the financial support for this vital work. Young people who were born after the Good Friday Agreement, dubbed the "Ceasefire Generation," are twice as likely to die by suicide as their peers during the actual conflict. Women and young girls feel as though their efforts are being ignored and that they are faced with a British government that has proven it could care less about what happens in Northern Ireland.
Julia Canney, a human rights advocate and journalist, traveled to Belfast and Derry in Northern Ireland to speak with women involved in peace building efforts. These women discussed the barriers they face as a result of a lack of resources and funding, as well as what could be done to ensure that this work continues to move communities in Northern Ireland forward towards lasting peace.

Honest Question About Standing Desks
August 28, 2014 / Klint Finley
I used to be a standing desk skeptic, partially because of this report from Cornell and partially because, as everyone who knows me knows, I hate standing. But I've seen a lot of criticism of the Cornell thing for relying on studies that don't really apply to standing desks in an office, and I've gathered enough anecdata to believe that it's a good idea for me to at least try it.
But I'm troubled by one thing: if standing desks are such a great thing, why are they only taking off?
It's not like it's a new idea. Stan Lee, as seen above, was a proponent of working standing, and Notsitting.com has a list of famous standers, including Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo DaVinci, Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, Earnest Hemingway and Winston Churchill. But the idea doesn't seem to have gained mass appeal until recently. Why is that?

GLAZIER, Jason
From WikiName
GLAZIER, Jason (c. 1964-2016), pilot instructor who disappeared with client, Edmond Haronian, on a flight from Santa Catalina Island back to Van Nuys Airport.
Glazier had been flying for thirty years. He was 52 years old.
In the News~
May 30, 2016 [LAT]: "A search is on for two San Fernando Valley men who went missing on a weekend trip to Catalina Island. Jason Glazier, 52, of Encino and Edmond Haronian, 50, of Woodland Hills flew from Van Nuys to Catalina Island Saturday morning. They took off on the return leg of their trip about 1 p.m. Saturday and haven't been heard from since. "He's not the type to just not respond. He'd find a way to let us know where he is," said Jonathan Haronian, the missing man's son. Haronian is an insurance broker. His family said he's been taking flying lessons for a year. He couldn't fly on his own over water, so Glazier, his instructor, went with him. According Haronian's family, there's been no activity on his cellphones or credit cards since Saturday. The LA County Sheriff's Department and the Coast Guard have been searching by helicopter for the men and the plane."
May 31, 2016 [LAT]: "A search is underway for a student pilot and his flight instructor after their small plane disappeared over the coast of Catalina Island during the Memorial Day weekend. Edmond Haronian, 50, of Woodland Hills and his instructor, Jason Glazier, 52, of Encino have been missing since Saturday when their single-engine Cessna 172 never landed at its intended destination. The aircraft departed Catalina Island Airport on Saturday afternoon, but failed to arrive on time at Van Nuys Airport, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said. The FAA alerted authorities that the plane was overdue," he said. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department are searching for the missing aircraft. The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search late Monday after it said "no signs of any aircraft or anyone in distress" were found. Haronian's family commissioned three helicopters to help rescuers search for the aircraft during the weekend. At least one helicopters was aiding in Tuesday's search. Just hours before the two men disappeared, a smiling Haronian posted several photographs on Facebook showing him with the aircraft. "We have no clue where he is," his brother, Edwin Haronian, said. "The plane has not been found." He had been flying for about a year at the Van Nuys-based Encore Flight Academy. Haronian had exchanged a few text messages the day he disappeared, but has not been heard from since, his brother said. Haronian was recently featured in a Times story about the role of insurance agents in California's Obamacare enrollment. Haronian was recognized as a top producer in enrolling people in Obamacare. He told The Times he enrolled more than 1,000 people in the program."
June 1, 2016 [VAN NUYS (CBSLA.com): "Dozens of friends and family of a student pilot who went missing over the weekend packed a Calabasas temple to pray for his safe return. Edmond Haronian, a Woodland Hills insurance broker, went missing Saturday after he and his instructor flew to Catalina Island. "We still haven't given up hope," said Rose Haronian, his ex-wife. "That's why we are here, to pray for him. Pictures on Facebook show that Haronian arrived and his family says witnesses saw them take off again, but they never returned to Van Nuys Airport. So far, searches by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the Coast Guard, and private searches have turned up nothing. Haronian's son says they need answers and closure. "Something that we can work off of because right now, it's unbelievable that a plane just goes missing in thin air," said Eddie Bardi, his son. A representative from the flight school, Encore Flight Academy, says there was no distress call. They've also sent out search teams and found nothing. The school says the instructor, Jason Glazier, has 30 years of experience and the plane was in excellent condition. Haronian's family says they'll keep searching until they know what happened."

The U.S. Civil Society Working Group on Women, Peace, and Security (U.S. CSWG) is a non-partisan network of civil society organizations with expertise on the impacts of women in war and their participation in peacebuilding. Established in 2010, the working group is an engaged coalition to promote the effective implementation of the U.S. National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security.
What is Women, Peace and Security?
Women, Peace and Security (WPS) is a U.S. government policy that recognizes that women must be critical actors in all our efforts to achieve sustainable international peace and security. WPS promotes a gendered perspective and women's equal and meaningful participation in peace processes, peacebuilding and state-building.
The Women, Peace and Security Agenda evolved from the U.N. Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 that the U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted on October 25, 2000.
UNSCR 1325 addresses not only the disproportionate impacts of war on women, but also the pivotal role women should and do play in conflict management, conflict resolution and sustainable peace efforts. UNSCR 1325's framework is comprised of four pillars—participation, protection, prevention, and relief and recovery.
In a statement in 2005, the Security Council called upon U.N. Member States to continue implementing UNSCR 1325 through the development of National Action Plans (NAPs). These national strategies are a tool for member states to determine their priorities and detail actions they will take to implement the objectives of UNSCR 1325. As of April 2017, sixty-six countries have created and adopted NAPs.
In December 2011, U.S. President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order instituting a U.S. National Action Plan (NAP) on Women, Peace and Security, making the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda an official national policy.
With the 2016 change in the U.S. administration, the U.S. CSWG is developing a series of thematic and regional policy briefs on key topics to better inform policymakers and government agencies on ways to continue the U.S. commitment and implementation of the U.S. NAP. To supplement the briefs, the project also includes a policy paper outlining key recommendations for the first 100 days of the new administration, and meetings and roundtables to inform and advise senior officials and members of the security think tank community.
As the "go-to" group of civil society experts on women, peace and security, the U.S. CSWG engages with U.S. government agencies including, the National Security Council, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. Department of Defense through consultations, publications and roundtable discussions.
Member organizations of the U.S. CSWG are uniquely positioned to explain the history, rationale, relevance and utility of the women, peace and security agenda in U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. CSWG works to ensure that the WPS agenda is incorporated into legislative documents and actions through regular engagement with key members of Congress and their staffers.
Since its establishment in July 2010, the working group has facilitated over 30 public events and off the record consultations with national and international civil servants, policymakers and civil society to advance the women, peace, and security agenda in the United States and around the world.
As a key resource for learning and the exchange of lessons learned between and among civil society and government agencies, the U.S. CSWG publishes policy briefs and reports to inform and shape the policy community's discussions on the U.S. NAP.
The U.S. Institute of Peace acts as the non-partisan, independent secretariat of the working group. Because the U.S. CSWG's members are primarily non-governmental and academic institutions, the non-partisan nature of USIP has been vital to the group's success and allowed organizations across the political spectrum to join and participate in the working group.
Working group members are producing an increasing amount of resources to aid policy shapers and other civil society organizations in their efforts to advance the Women, Peace and Security agenda. Below is a sample of resources that members have recently produced.

The digital edition consolidates information in the sixth edition and provides updated examples.
The digital edition removes the sixth edition's requirement to use full stops with the abbreviation of 'The Honourable' to 'The Hon'.
This change is supported by evidence from Australian corpora and is consistent with the digital edition's recommendation to use minimal punctuation.
For the same reason, digital edition examples do not follow the sixth edition's requirement for a comma before and between post-nominals.

Season 11 Coming Summer 2023
Published On: January 6th, 2017
Grafton, WI – The Lakeshore Chinooks are proud to announce that Eddy Morgan will return as field manager for the 2017 season. The upcoming 2017 campaign will be Eddy's fifth as field manager after serving as bench coach under John Vodenlich for the Chinooks' inaugural season. Morgan is also the head baseball coach for Concordia University Wisconsin.
Morgan's first year as manager came in 2013, leading Lakeshore to their first playoff appearance after clinching the South Division second half title. The Chinooks 44 wins that year still remain second most in team history.
2014 was an exciting year for Morgan as he was named the Northwoods League Manager of the Year. Eddy helped his team to clinch both the first half and second half division titles. In the South Division series, Lakeshore swept the Wisconsin Woodchucks. They then proceeded to sweep the Mankato MoonDogs in the Summer Collegiate World Series to claim the franchise's first Northwoods League Championship. Coach Morgan also managed the South Division squad in the annual All-Star Game held at Kapco Park.
Following the championship season, Morgan and the Chinooks finished 2015 with a record 36-36.
Last season, the Chinooks returned to the Northwoods league playoffs. Eddy inspired a late season push with the Chinooks winning 12 of their final 16 regular season games. The 2016 season also featured Northwoods League Pitcher of the Year, Marshall Kasowski, and his league leading 87 strikeouts.
Eddy is currently working hard at finalizing the 2017 roster with the hopes of building on last season's playoff push and claiming a second Northwoods League title. The rest of the Chinooks coaching staff will be announced in the coming weeks.
Coach Morgan had the following to say about his return to the Chinooks in 2017:
"I am looking forward to another summer at Kapco Park" said Eddy Morgan. "The Chinooks organization as well as Concordia University has given me opportunities and experiences that have allowed me to be a better coach. I have the pleasure of helping extremely talented players become even better. I get to help them navigate what it feels like to play every day and give them a taste of what it takes to play pro baseball. There is a mental aspect to this level of play and I am passionate to help players handle the adversity and challenges that face them throughout the summer.
"Jessica, Isaac, Piper and I all feel that the Chinooks have become part of our family. Although most of the players and staff change every year, the feeling remains the same. When we get to Kapco Park, we are home. Isaac has his place as bat boy in the dugout and takes his role seriously. Piper has grown up in the stands, she was one year old during the first season of the Chinooks. Even after 5 seasons she and Jessica make almost every home game and look forward to visiting with other fans and supporting our Chinooks."
"We are blessed and humbled to be part of the best organization in the Northwood's League and we look forward to impacting the young men that we serve this summer. Go Nooks!"
The Lakeshore Chinooks are a member of the finest developmental league for elite college baseball players, the Northwoods League. The 23-year-old summer collegiate league is the largest organized baseball league in the world with 20 teams, drawing significantly more fans, in a friendly ballpark experience, than any league of its kind. A valuable training ground for coaches, umpires and front office staff, more than 160 former Northwoods League players have advanced to Major League Baseball, including two-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer (WAS), two-time World Series Champion Ben Zobrist (CHC) and MLB All-Stars Chris Sale (BOS), Jordan Zimmermann (DET), Curtis Granderson (NYM) and Lucas Duda (NYM). All league games are viewable live via the Northwoods League portal. For more information, visit www.lakeshorechinooks.com or download the new Northwoods League Mobile App on the Apple App Store or on Google Play and set the Chinooks as your favorite team.

Debbie works on the bend, outside rein contact, and counter flexion with this pair.
When asking for the canter, Ms. McDonald has the rider maintain the tempo and do lots of transitions both between gaits and within them. With this young horse, she suggests that they do rising trot so he can use his back better. She offers excellent suggestions on making the canter transitions better, and they creat correct quickness in the hind end during the trot after the canter.


Life is highly unpredictable and will throw you unexpected and unpleasant surprises every now and then. This is when it's good to have an emergency fund. This is a safety net that can help you cover unexpected or unforeseen expenses without actually breaking your monthly budget or without having to take on expensive debt. An emergency fund is really just that, it's money for an emergency. However, you need to think about it as an additional reserve of money separate from all your other long-term savings goals. General thumb rule suggests that you should be setting aside around 3 to 6 months of monthly expenses. Of course, more months the merrier, but it's better to at least make a start with 3 to 6 months as your initial emergency savings goal.
Saving for an emergency fund may seem a daunting task, but taking the first step towards starting the process can help give you peace of mind, rest assured. To figure out how much you need for emergency expenses, you simply have to list out all your necessary monthly expenses. The list would generally include monthly rent, EMIs, utility bills, groceries, and other key expenses. Let's assume that your total monthly expenses come to Rs. 25,000. All you have to do now is to multiply this with the number of months you would want to maintain as emergency funds to arrive at your emergency funds goal. Let's assume your emergency funds goal is to maintain the amount for 3 months, which is a good goal for getting started. Thus, your total emergency funds requirement would be Rs. 75,000 (Rs. 25,000 x 3).
Now that you know your goal for emergency funds, it's time for you to work out the time horizon to achieve the goal. For instance, if you want to reach the Rs. 75,000 three-month emergency funds goal in six months, then you will have start saving Rs. 12,500 right away for the next six months. This will enable you reach your emergency funds goal in 6 months. In case, 6 months is too short a time horizon, you can plan to accumulate the funds in 12 months, which means you'd have to start investing Rs. 6,250 every month right away to form your emergency corpus of Rs. 75,000 in 12 months. Please note that the lesser the time horizon for you to form your emergency corpus the better, since emergency can strike anytime. That said, there's nothing better than making a good start to your emergency funds goals and it's better to start now than never.
The best part about savings for your emergency funds goal is that you can always reassess in the future to speed up your savings to build the corpus faster. Remember, if you look at your bank statement to analyse where you spend your money, you'd be surprised to see how much excess money you'd have spent on items such as unnecessary eat-outs, pizzas, coffees, and private cabs. For instance, analysis of your first month's statement after starting your emergency funds goal tells you that you spent Rs. 2,500 on some of the above unwanted items. Simply remind yourself of your long-term goals such as your dream home, children's education, smooth retired life, and cover for emergencies. You will understand that your goals will automatically outweigh your unwanted expenses. Now, this savings of Rs. 2,500 adds to your accumulation for emergency fund goal. Thus, you can now save Rs. 8,750 (Rs. 6,250 + Rs. 2,500) per month, which means you can achieve your emergency funds goal in lesser time of around 8 odd months. Likewise, if you keep on analysing your monthly bank statement, you might be surprised to find sufficient room for additional savings, which would speed up your emergency fund accumulation process.
Thus, finding additional ways of savings such as avoiding credit card spending, controlling watching movies and live concerts, stopping spending on video games, and reducing your discretionary spend to as minimum as possible would be much easier.
So, where do you save the money to build your emergency fund. You could either earmark these funds in your existing bank account or invest the money in ultra short-term liquid funds with high debt exposure. This will not only keep your emergency funds separate from your long-term savings, but will also make your money grow faster. These debt funds are as safe as money on your bank account and provide you with higher returns than a bank account.
Moreover, you can open a new savings bank account dedicated to the emergency funds. A new savings account would enable you to easily maneuver your funds and analyse your account to achieve your emergency fund goal swiftly. The danger of expending the corpus accumulated in the emergency funds for non-emergency events vanishes, since you would not be touching this savings account for your daily expenses. Therefore, you wouldn't dip into these funds.
Irrespective of the method you choose to save for emergency funds, all that matters is how much and how fast you've accumulated the required corpus to cover you for emergencies or contingencies. Emergencies never beckon and strike, they just raise their ugly hood often catching you unware, leaving you and your family in utter distress. Therefore, having a cover for emergencies and unforeseen contingencies in the form of emergency funds will not only help you gain peace of mind, but will also help you save effectively for all your big dreams of life. Therefore, next time you need funds in an emergency, promise yourself that you will not dip into your actual savings for the long-term. Plan to have an emergency fund today for enjoying a secure and happy tomorrow.
Please Note: The numeric examples given in this article are imaginary just to make you understand the purpose of saving for emergency funds and how you could do it effectively.
