Media Suppresses the Money Behind BLM; The Fallacy of White Privilege; Schools Must Open in the Fall
Bill O'Reilly; July 13, 2020
Bill O'Reilly here, welcome to the No Spin News for Monday, July 13th, 2020. Stand Up for Your Country. Tonight, we'll continue our investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation. We have a good guest. You'll learn things you don't know. But first, the lead story is how COVID is hiding the radical agenda. Now, stay with me here because it's a little complicated, but important. Now, first of all, the president of the United States has been put off balance. So you may have noticed it, Donald Trump has lost a little of his swagger. He's always been a guy that struck back against things he didn't think were fair, but now he's doing more of that. And on the COVID thing, he's frustrated, and that's the truth. I know it personally. So, Donald Trump is used to, if you read my book, the United States of Trump, controlling everything in his world, and he did that for the first three years of his presidency, he was in charge, he controlled. The pandemic comes in, he can't control it and the American people are scared, many of them. And when people are frightened, they look to the government or their dad or their business, whatever it may be, to protect them. But nobody can protect us from COVID. It's unique in that. So you can't send in the army or the police. Can't. There's nothing you can do. And of course, the anti Trump press blames President Trump for the pandemic, for the contagion. Now, that's not fair. It's not true. Maybe he could have done things better, but think about this, the president has kept the economy and the markets, particularly the stock market, fairly stable. I think that's a pretty good accomplishment in the middle of a pandemic. Now, I'm not trying to promote Donald Trump. I'm trying to inject a bit of fairness here. So if you want to think that President Trump has booted it on COVID, that's your opinion. You're entitled to it. But the fact is that Donald Trump has been worn down. Put yourself in his shoes, just six months ago he thought he had reelection like that. He had a booming economy running against a weak opponent. OK. Trump thought he was just going to skate right on in there. And then, wham, this happens. He's frustrated. We'll get into that in a little while. Now, I've said if the schools don't open in the fall, Trump loses, and I'm sticking to that, which is why there is so much urgency on the part of the federal government to get these schools open. We'll get into specifics on the schools in a little while. The next thing is that there is a radical left movement. You all know it. I mean, we've been going over it and over it and over it. But that is being obscured by COVID because instead of reporting honestly on the radical left movement, the networks and a lot of the cables just do COVID all day and they ignore the danger, and I mean that literally, from Marxist groups and anarchists. I mean, they ignore it and are not going to report it. We do. But we look for pickup. Got a little bit of the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation, we got a little, we got it out there, but it wasn't easy. And finally, many of you voters in America are absolutely clueless. A, they're panicked over COVID. B, they don't pay attention. C, it's all about them, not about the country. And so you've got a big, big cordray voters who well, on Thursday, they're going to vote for Biden, but maybe not on Saturday, Trump. They're back and forth, they swing, which is why you see the polls, which don't mean anything now. And finally, the backlash against the radical left and against the anti police movement has been delayed because of COVID. If there was no COVID, these people could never get away with what they're trying to pull. I mean, we are seeing hundreds of people shot in major cities across the country and the networks ignore it, mostly ignore it. If there wasn't any COVID, they couldn't do that. Now, you've heard me talk about white privilege and this is going to lead into our segment on the Marxists Black Lives Matter Lobal Foundation. So white privilege, I have never bought into. All right. I have always told you for years, it's not true. What is true is economic privilege and there's no doubt about that. If you have money or your family has money or you inherit money, you have privilege attached to that asset. It's all about money, not skin color. I've always said that it is harder for an African-American to pursue happiness in this country than a white American. That is true because there are bigots that play the skin color game. It doesn't matter there on all sides, because whites are the majority. So here on Long Island, where I live, for many, many years, if you were a upper black family, there were certain neighborhoods you couldn't buy into. All right, that was wrong. And the reason was, as again I write in the United States of Trump, because his father, Trump's father, was involved with this, economic. That they thought of black families moved into certain neighborhoods, property values would go down. OK. So there is economic privilege and it's a corrupter. How many rich people do you know? I know a lot and some them I'd like to slap upside the head because they're so arrogant. Why are you arrogant? Because you have money? You know it. It exists. OK, but white skin color privilege is a myth. Enter 19 year old Rav Arora. This kid's a genius. He lives in Vancouver, Canada, and he's a writer. He sells his articles to a number of publications. So he researched white privilege. Ready? And again, it's always good to watch this broadcast with a pen and paper. He found out four things that just blow the white privilege theory out of the water. Number one, according to statistics from the US Census Bureau, several minority groups in America out earn white people. They earn more money than white people. These are the groups, ready? Pakistani Americans, Lebanese American, South African Americans, Filipino Americans, Sri Lankan Americans and Iranian Americans. And the number one group in the United States for earnings, India, Indians. They earn more money than anyone else. None of those groups except for South Africa, are white based. None of them. Second, black immigrant groups have a median household income above the American average. Who are black immigrant groups? Nigerian's, Barbadians, Ghanians, Trinidadians, all have higher incomes than the average American. And because whites are more than blacks and Hispanics, that's the factor. Third, Nigerian Americans are one of the most educated groups in America, according to a study by Rice University. They only make up one percent of African-Americans, Nigerians, one percent. Yet they are represented at the Harvard Business School at a rate of 25 percent of black students. So no wonder they are out earning whites, Nigerian Americans. I didn't know any of this and I know you didn't know any of it. And thanks to Rav Arora, we now know it. And finally, 16 million white Americans, almost twice as many as black Americans live in poverty. Now, that's a little skewed because black Americans are 13 percent of the population and whites are 50 something, close to 60 percent. It's a little skewed. But it goes against if you're white, you have privilege. OK. That's what it goes against. So, the white privilege argument, this is why I'm even bothering with it. Kids hear this, black kids, and it builds in to their thinking process, they're immature, but so are most adults, that they're victims. Because whites have privilege, they the black kids don't have privilege and they can't succeed. They're victims of a biased system and that creates grievance. Oh, I flunk because I'm black. Oh, you didn't hire me because I'm black. Oh, you were rude to me because I'm black and you have white privilege. Nobody has done this to me because they're afraid of me, but if anybody ever said to me, Hey O'Reilly, check your privilege, the mature O'Reilly would say, hey, why don't you take your stupid theory and whatever. I probably wouldn't use a euphemism, but I would state my objection. I grew up in Levittown, New York, as many of you know. It was a you couldn't get more humble beginnings than that. I guess you could, but it would be hard. OK. I didn't have any money and nobody in the neighborhood had any money, that's why they were living in Levittown. My father bought the house for eight thousand dollars in 1951. So this white privilege nonsense is corrosive to the country because it creates another generation of victims. The blacks grow up, not all of them, certainly not Nigerians, and they say I can't make it. Why should I even try? Now, part of the dissemination of black propaganda, or propaganda directed toward blacks is the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation. So in Milwaukee, the head of the crew there, Patrick Benjamin, recently wrote an article June 21st, it said dear white people, if you have ever said any of these things then you are part of the problem, and he lists the most absurd stuff like everyone struggles, being white has never been one of those struggles. Being poor is a struggle. It's just garbage. The article is just garbage. But the basic premise is that white people are oppressive and that's what the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation sells. Skin color. Caucasian oppressive. One final note. Skin color should not be in any debate, and it is in the Washington Redskins and we'll get to that in a little while. Should not be in any debate. Skin color does not matter. Martin Luther King Jr. said it best. It's the content of your character. OK. This right here, it doesn't matter. And if you inject skin color in any way, shape or form into the debate, you're going to be marked, number one, ostracized and you'll lose the debate. You've got to really cut through this and get into education. Get into the system in America that requires competition and how to compete. All right. Let's bring in Scott Walter. He is the president of the Capital Research Center in Washington, D.C., and his group, the Capital Research Center, has been investigating the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation, which is different from the slogan. So the slogan Black Lives Matter doesn't have anything to do with what Mr. Walter and me, what we are investigating. It is the organization. So last week, the CRC uncovered Susan Rosenberg's ties to a group called Thousand Currents. I'm not going to go over all the investigations that we've done, but just suffice to say that the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation runs money through Thousand Currents, based in Oakland, California. And this Susan Rosenberg is a co chairwoman of that group and she is a convicted terrorist, a violent woman who served hard time in a federal penitentiary. I didn't know that, but Mr. Walter and his crew found that out. He joins us now from Washington. When you ran that article, and I saw it on Real Clear Politics, what kind of reaction did you and your organization get, Mr. Walter? "Well, we got a very nice reaction from conservatives who were shocked and appalled to hear about Ms. Rosenberg's background. We got deafening silence from The Washington Post, The New York Times, all the television networks, etc., although, I should say, Tucker has mentioned it, though. That would be the one exception." Were you invited on any programs? "No, not to discuss, Miss Rosenberg." Were you invited on any programs to discuss the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation? "Nope.". Outside of us, did you see any other original reporting on the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation? "Maybe an occasional detail added here and there, again, only by conservative outlets, though, online." OK, so do you believe that the corporate media, Disney, AT&T, Comcast, these people, they don't want Americans to know what BLM Global Foundation is? Do you believe that? "I do believe that, especially in the case of Disney, who is going to have a big Colin Kaepernick show, right? Well, they've offered him a first look, but I don't even think Colin Kaepernick knows what the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation is. I don't think all these people running around under this banner know anything about the three Marxist women who founded it, but I could be wrong. Maybe they do and they don't care. "I'm sure there's more ignorance than knowledge. But you're right, they wouldn't care that much. It seems to be very hard to embarrass the left, especially when they get to keep so many things silent." All right. Now, the big news organizations, they're going to black out, and I think I can use that word blackout, but CNN may have it on their list, they're going to not tell the American public, this is a Marxist organization that seeks to overthrow the federal government and impose communism. And the three women admit it. Do they not, the three founders? "They are, in their own words, trained Marxists. And certainly, Miss Rosenberg, the cochairman of that pass through that you mentioned, Thousand Currents, where the money flows through, the only repentance she had for all of her violent terrorism in the 70s, 80s, her one regret was she did not shoot back against the cops." She wanted more violence against the police. Do you believe that if this were a front page story on The Washington Post and that ABC News and CBS and NBC picked it up and led with it on their nightly newscasts and said, you know, you really should know that this Black Lives Matter global foundation, which drives the Black Lives Matter protests, because it does, they're Marxists and they want to overthrow the government. Do you think that Americans would care? "Sure, the average American, of course, is appalled by that kind of radicalism and especially, you know, extremism is really extremist when it's violent." When you reported the link between this violent convicted terrorist, Rosenberg and Black Lives Matter Global Foundation, you would think that that would be a story that gets picked up. Did you send it to the AP? Did you send your stuff out? "Oh, yes. No, we've sent it out, and in fact, our influence watch .org website, which is sort of Wikipedia of the left, for many of these groups, we're on the first page of Google results. They don't even know, they can ignore us, they can just go to Google and find the same info from us." So it is on social media, but it isn't in the corporate media. Final question, calls for an opinion on your part. Why would Disney and Comcast and AT&T, which runs CNN, why would they want to promote communism, to promote people who would seize their assets, who would destroy their corporations? Why would they want to promote them? "Well, I think it's a combination of guilt, because to the extent they think about this, they feel guilt ridden and paralyzed. And then also it's the fruit of all these decades of horrible education that we've given people. I mean, if you're a 30 something powerful executive somewhere, you're brainwashed almost certainly from the education you got." You don't see that as a threat, the Marxists? "You think that that's just the, you think it's reality. Oh, well, of course, this is the way the world works. We all know that and I kind of feel bad because, gosh, I have an awfully nice place in Greenwich, Connecticut, where I commute down to Manhattan, to my offices." All right. I don't know. You know, there's something corrupt, obviously, in the press, it's at the most corrupt point in our history, in my opinion. But, Mr. Walter, we hope you keep investigating and we really appreciate the good work you have done so far. Thanks for appearing tonight. "Thanks so much, Bill.". OK. All right. So I said at the top program that President Trump is demoralized by COVID. I think that's true. He's lost a little bit of swagger. He may get it back. Just today, the federal government fast tracked two companies who are working on vaccines. If the vaccine hits, then the whole election process turns around. If COVID is diminished, that helps Trump dramatically. But to back up my statement about him being a little bit demoralized, we found this piece of tape. Go. "To rescue the U.S. economy from a horrible event that was formed, took place in China and came here and they could have stopped it. They could have stopped it. Nobody likes to write that, but they could have stopped it. They know it and I know it." He is really, really angry about that. Now, his opponent, Joe Biden, is a very interesting study. All right. So both Trump and Biden have something in common, they both are fixated on the corporate media. They just zero in on whatever the corporate media is doing. So the corporate media is telling Biden, you're winning. Joe, you're winning big. That's what you're telling him with all these ridiculous polls. Trump is a little bit worried about the election. No doubt about it. Biden is now feeling really strong, so strong that he is now adopted many of the things that socialist Bernie Sanders was demanding. He's adopted them in his platform, which would have been inconceivable six months ago. One of the really disturbing things that Mr. Biden has adopted is an anti police posture. Roll tape. "Surplus military equipment for law enforcement, they don't need that. The last thing you need is an up armored Humvee coming into a neighborhood just like the military's invading. They don't know anybody. They become the enemy. They're supposed to protecting these people." All right. So, what does that mean? That because some police agencies have military type equipment, they're the enemy of the people? I can't remember the last time the military type equipment, the Humvee, was actually used. I'm sure that there were times, but I can't remember one off the top of my head. And if they were used, there would be some kind of insurrection, that would be the only way that they would be called out, like the riots after George Floyd. Yeah, the military needed equipment to protect the people and the property, didn't they, Joe? Now, here's what's really interesting about this, that Biden back in 1994 was the co-sponsor of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. What did that do? It provided a hundred thousand new police officers in America. Ten billion dollars more for prison funding. Six billion for prevention programs, crime prevention. And it created 60 new death penalty offenses. 60. Joe Biden was the tough on crime guy. Now he's the, well police are enemies if they use force, military force in the protection of their communities. They're the enemy. It's not like they're riding through the Southside of Chicago, Joe, in the Humvees. They're not doing that. They should do it, but they're not. So Biden has staked out now a territory that is far, far left. And again, it's not reported in the media. Most folks don't even know it. OK. Let me give me a few examples. Climate change, 1.7 trillion dollar investment on the part of the federal government in climate change and stuff that they want to buy, like windmills and solar panels. $1.7 trillion. So we got a 28 trillion dollar debt now. If you add up all the stuff that Biden / Bernie want, we owe 35 to 40 trillion. OK, now to keep the dollar from collapsing, because it will, that means all your savings, all your IRAs, all of that, halved because the dollar is not worth as much. That's what's going to happen. They'd have to seize, they the Biden administration, private property. Wealth tax. Tax on your car. You already have a tax on your car, you have more of a tax. Tax on everything in order to pay this insane stuff. They want free college, free pre-K, they'd run small business out of existence with the home leave. I mean, it's everything Bernie Sanders was screaming about, the reason he didn't win, Biden says, yeah, it's OK with me. And the final thing, remember when Biden raised his hands and yeah, I'll pay for the health expenses of illegal aliens, people who violate our immigration laws? I want to pay for all of their health care expenses. Remember that? That was the real Joe Biden. Now, do you think the American voter getting called up on a poll knows any of this? They don't know it. Do they care? I don't even know if they care. Back to school. OK, so if the schools are shut down across the United States, Biden will be president. It's not going to happen. The Bush administration, the Bush, the Trump administration, is going to try to encourage as many districts as possible to open, and they will succeed. OK. But the biggest union and the teachers, the National Education Association, NEA, far, far left. Three million teachers, administrators and other education professionals members. They said we're not going open, too dangerous. Now, why are they doing that? It's not dangerous in North Dakota. Not dangerous in Montana. Not dangerous in Alaska. And here in New York, we had for the first time, no deaths over the weekend from COVID. So let's pray it holds here. Sun Belt, bad, bad. But the NCAA says, hey, there's no way we're opening schools, not happening, because they want Trump to lose. Not because of any protection. The way it should be handled is that each district, in conjunction with the state capital, decides. So if the crazy left Washington State doesn't open, okay, okay with me. Let those people there who elected these loons, let them deal with that. But here in New York, with the COVID thing is tamped down at this point, got to open. You've got to have masks and you've got to have distance. You've got to have everything you can have. But one kid gets it, front-page hysteria. Look, in Europe they opened the schools months ago. They haven't had any problem in Austria and Norway and Belgium and Finland and Denmark. So right now, President Trump is a cipher on the COVID. He used to have the daily briefings, which were, I don't know, in the beginning, they were all right then they got ridiculous. President Trump, why don't you invite all the ministers of education from the European nations that have opened their schools to Washington for a two day conference on how you did it? What did you do? If COVID didn't explode in Western Europe, talking Italy, places that were really impacted, if it didn't explode, what did they do? Let's have it. Let's have the conference and let President Trump take the leadership of that. It shows he's doing something. Why do I have to think this up? Why? That should be one of his advisers, Betsy DeVos, the education secretary. Mr. President, let's get all these guys over here and gals and find out what they did and we can do it. So summing up on the school, each district decides. You've got a real problem in a certain district, you can't do it. But I'd say 80, 85 percent of American school districts could open with a minimal risk, responsibly. So let's go, because you can't be punishing the children, which is what you do if you don't let them go back to school in September. OK. Now, the press does not want the schools to open. This is another corruption of the press. They don't want it, and again, one kid gets it, bang, oh, it's awful. So if you're in Florida, and that's a bad place right now for COVID, and you open, which the governor says he's going to do, and one kid gets it or one teacher gets it, they're going to ram that down your throat because they don't want, the press doesn't want the schools open. Because the same thing with the NEA, they know that Trump will get hurt, but the schools don't open because the psychology is we're not defeating the virus. We're not making progress. This is a psychological thing as well as a physical thing. OK, Roger Stone. I don't care about Roger Stone, I don't know Roger Stone. He lied, but he lied in a bogus case, the Russian situation. Do I care that his sentence was commuted? I don't care. Pardoned Stone's record, should he go to jail, he's an old guy? I don't care. When Trump pardoned him, he's Trump's friend, I said, alright, there's a little loyalty there, I don't care. President Obama commuted thousands of people's sentences, thousands. Trump is at, I think, less than 100. One of them was Chelsea Manning, the former army private who leaked secrets about the military, putting our military in danger. Obama didn't pardon him, commuted the sentence, her. OK. Any outcry? Nope. On a couple of anti-Obama people didn't like it, but nothing in the press. So Mitt Romney says that Stone's commutation is a historic corruption. Governor, look, I've known you for a long time, you're embarrassing yourself now. You're embarrassing yourself. I know you hate Donald Trump. You want Biden and the Democrats to gain power? Is what you want, Governor? I'm calling you governor because you're the governor of Massachusetts, now you're the senator of Utah. I guess I should call you senator. Is that what you want? Really? Do you really want that? Awful. Awful. John Kasich, former governor of Ohio, hates Trump. I know John real well. Roll his tape. "Yeah, he's losing momentum and you know, the thing about Tulsa that was interesting here, and I just saw a few of the clips. You saw people like looking at their watches and people were yawning and reaching across. And, you know, I'd say four years ago, people were kind of transfixed by this show, but the show's kind of winding down." You want Biden there, John? Is that what you want, the Democrats in there? The Democrats who destroyed your state, state of Ohio? You put it back together. You want Democrats again? I don't get it. Washington Redskins are going to change their name because FedEx, which sponsors the stadium to the tune of 200 million dollars, told Dan Snyder, the owner of the team, you've got to change the name. So Dan says, $200 million, I think will change day. Here's my name for the new Washington team, the Washington Spinners. I hope the R&B group doesn't sue, but the Washington Spinners. That's what I would name them. This day in history. June 13th, 2013. Seven years ago. The Black Lives Matter movement began and it was because George Zimmerman was acquitted of second degree murder and manslaughter for taking the life of Trayvon Martin. Seven years ago, Black Lives Matter began. Quick break and back with mail and a Final Thought. The Final Thought is about taking urchins to dinner last night. Wait till you hear this, right back.

So, last night I took a few urchins out for dinner and we sat outside. OK, so they're on the phones, and I go oh, we sit down, no phones. Conversation. We're talking. Talk about anything you want, even it's probably dopey, I'll participate. OK. Oh, they were oh phones. You could see their hands like, I don't know. So all the phones are lined up on a table and there's this big beetle that goes across. I take one of the phones and I crush the beetle with the phone. I mean, I thought this kid was going to have a massive heart attack and he had a little cover on the phone. I took the napkin, I wiped it off. I said, hey, your phone's a lethal weapon. That beetle would be alive today if not for your phone. But they were all throughout the meal, it was like…and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed torturing them because you don't use the phone and mealtime ever. They were shocked. They were looking at Spencer with pity in their eyes, and he's my son and they were going, oh, how could you live under this cruel regime where we can't have our phones at dinner. Anyway to get revenge, they over ordered, they ran up a big tab. So they got me in the end. We'll see you tomorrow.

Robert F.-97863538 July 13, 2020 at 9:36 PM I have no supporting evidence, but I would suspect that the majority of whites NEVER bought into the "white privilege" myth. They may be afraid to publicly acknowledge it, fearing physical, economic or social reprisals at a time when our society is beginning to resemble the former Soviet Russia. Economic privilege is a fact of life. It is only common sense that the greater your economic resources, the greater your ability to indulge in the benefits of that economy. I fail to see the necessity of pointing that out constantly unless one perceives it as undesirable or even evil. There are many neighborhoods that I "can't buy into", because they are too expensive. I don't resent it. I don't cry for wealth redistribution. I look at economic privilege as the prime motivator in a capitalist society, to educate oneself, work hard and achieve success. It isn't something of which to be suspicious or to denigrate. It's a positive thing. But PLEASE, STOP the MLK quotes about not judging people by skin color, but by character content, when our own government has for decades, sanctioned and encouraged affirmative action programs that have favored minorities in the realm of jobs and education, based precisely on skin color. It just adds insult to injury. One last point: a feasible name entry for the Washington Redskins team would be the Washington MERCENARIES. Mercenaries are tough, brave, determined, possessing all the right qualities for a team. They also do EVERYTHING based on PROFIT. Brett R.

The mayor of Livermore California explains Trump's popularity and success. This is perhaps the best explanation for Trump's popularity
www.linkedin.com/content-guest/article/mayor-livermore-california-explains-trumps-popularity-julian-mccall
By Julian McCall | LinkedIN | June 18, 2018
Marshall Kamena is a registered Democrat and was elected mayor of Livermore, CA.. He ran on the democratic ticket as he knew a Bay Area city would never vote for a Republican. He is as conservative as they come. He wrote the following from an article, originally written by Evan Sayet and his opinion he expressed as a columnists for Townhall.com were his own and did not represent the views of Townhall.com, were mistakenly attributed to Marshall Kamena by me.
Trump's 'lack of decorum, dignity, and statesmanship' By Evan Sayet in his article "He Fights"
My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I'm not bothered by Donald Trump's lack of decorum. They ask if I don't think his tweets are "beneath the dignity of the office."
Here's my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.
We tried statesmanship.
Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized "collegiality" as John McCain?
We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?
And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.
I don't find anything "dignified," "collegial" or "proper" about Barack Obama's lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.
I don't see anything "dignified" in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.
I don't see anything "statesman-like" in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent.
Yes, Obama was "articulate" and "polished" but in no way was he in the least bit "dignified," "collegial" or "proper."
The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the '60's. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.. It has been a war they've fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today.
The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.
With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America 's first wartime president in the Culture War.
During wartime, things like "dignity" and "collegiality" simply aren't the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.
Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today.
Lincoln rightly recognized that, "I cannot spare this man. He fights."
General George Patton was a vulgar-talking.. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.
Trump is fighting. And what's particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel's, he's shouting, "You magnificent bastards, I read your book!"
That is just the icing on the cake, but it's wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he's defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals' war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton's senior thesis.
It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.
Trump's tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after "the fake media" — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN.. He made it personal.
Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as "the most powerful weapon of all."… Most importantly, Trump's tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. … They need to respond.
This leaves them with only two choices. They can either "go high" (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve. It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.
Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama's close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright's church.
Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration's weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration's cover-up.
So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be "collegial" and "dignified" and "proper"? Of course I do.
These aren't those times. This is war. And it's a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years.
So, say anything you want about this president – I get it – he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don't care. I can't spare this man. He fights for America!
Please pass this on..over and over, and again and again…

In 2013, Castro Praised Obama 'Enforcement' on Immigration
'Everyone agrees that we need to secure our border'
By David Rutz | The Washington Beacon | Sep. 16, 2019
https://freebeacon.com/issues/in-2013-castro-praised-obama-enforcement-on-immigration-called-open-borders-extreme/
2020 presidential candidate Julián Castro (D.) has one of the most liberal platforms in the field on immigration, but in 2013 he strongly backed Obama-era immigration policies and said the notion of "open borders" was too extreme to consider.
Castro, the former Obama Housing and Urban Development chief, has set a far-left marker for the 2020 primary candidates on immigration. He has called for decriminalization of illegal border crossings, taking down some sections of existing border barriers, and providing free health care to illegal immigrants, the Texas Tribune reported.
Castro attacked other candidates in the field as insufficiently progressive on the issue, including former Vice President Joe Biden at last week's debate, when left-wing journalist Jorge Ramos challenged Biden on the Obama administration's deportation of three million illegal immigrants.
Castro, who drew criticism for attacking Biden's memory in the same debate, accused Biden of being unwilling to take responsibility for the deportation policies despised by liberals.
But as mayor of San Antonio, Castro lauded the Obama administration's "enforcement" of immigration law during questioning by House Judiciary Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.) on Feb. 5, 2013.
"Do you think that interior enforcement should play a role to discourage future immigration by those not documented by making jobs to them unavailable? Should that be a part of that comprehensive immigration reform?" Goodlatte asked.
"That's a great question," Castro said. "I do believe that enforcement, both in terms of active enforcement on our borders—and under this administration there has been tremendous progress with regard to enforcement. In fact, the triggers in the 2007 proposal have just about all been met. But going forward, of course, enforcement is part of the conversation."
"Both in terms of border security and interior security, comprehensive immigration reform gives us the opportunity to make this work better at every single juncture," he added later.
"Are there options that we should consider between the extremes of mass deportation and a pathway to citizenship for those not lawfully present in the United States?" Goodlatte asked.
"Well, let me say that I do believe that a pathway to citizenship should be the option that the Congress selects," Castro said. "I don't see that as an extreme option. In fact, as one of the representatives pointed out, if we look at our history, generally what we found is that Congress over time has chosen that option, that path to citizenship. I would disagree with the characterization of that as the extreme. The extreme, I would say, just to fill that out, would be open borders. Nobody agrees with open borders. Everyone agrees that we need to secure our border."
Castro now refers to the idea of "open borders" as a "right-wing talking point," but former Obama Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson used that phrase in June to describe Castro's position on decriminalizing illegal border crossings.
"That is tantamount to declaring publicly that we have open borders," Johnson said. "That is unworkable, unwise and does not have the support of a majority of American people or the Congress, and if we had such a policy, instead of 100,000 apprehensions a month, it will be multiples of that."
Castro spokesman Sawyer Hackett told the Texas Tribune Castro was not demonstrating support for all of Obama's policies during his testimony in 2013.
"He was applauding the administration's effort to prioritize immigration enforcement, not their efforts to deport mass numbers of immigrants," Hackett said.
Castro resigned the mayoralty in 2014 upon joining the Obama administration at HUD. He is considered a long shot for the Democratic nomination, but leading candidates Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) share his position on decriminalization of illegal border crossings.

More than ten dairy manufacturers including Mengniu, Yili, Sanyuan, Feihe, VV, Beingmate, Dumex, Bright, Ausnutria, Wondersun, Murray Goulburn, Yinqiao and Xiaoyangren collectively appeared on CCTV Bidding for 2010, which not only became a highlight at the conference, but also sent a strong signal of the overall rejuvenation of China's dairy industry.
Mengniu Group won several golden advertising resources including the commercial time of Sponsor of TV Series in the first half of 2010, commercial time of CCTV-1 Golden Theater and special A section. In July 2009, COFCO, a central state-owned enterprise giant became one of the shareholders of Mengniu. This initiative not only optimized Mengniu's industrial chain but also provided a sound financial guarantee to Mengniu. It is expected that Mengniu will continue to be a leading manufacturer in China's diary industry in 2010 due to its multiple advantages including raw milk resource, process, technology, financing, branding and marketing.
Actually, there has been an increasingly obvious sign of rejuvenation of China's diary industry since the third quarter of this year. The proofs are the sound growth of production and sales and the increase of profit rate. In the last quarter, the rejuvenating momentum of China's diary industry has shown better performance than expected. The industrial index went up and the breeding quantity of milk cow, the milk yield and the sales volume all turned good.
According to statistics, the revenue of China's dairy industry amounted to RMB 101.9 billion in the first eight months of this year, up by 5.44% compared to the same period of last year. The total amount of profit reached RMB 6 billion, up by 14.36% compared to the same period of last year, with a sales rate of 5.95%. Mengniu's revenue in the first half of this year amounted to RMB 12.0976 billion, up by 19% than that of the latter half of 2008, with a net profit increasing to RMB 661.9 million. Yili Group's sales value in the first three quarters of 2009 exceeded RMB 19 billion. The statistics indicate that the sales of dairy products and purchase of raw milk have been generally recovered.
With an increasingly higher standard of living, more and more Chinese consumers get into the habit of drinking milk every day because they have realized that "milk is a kind of almost-perfect food". Despite the great impact on the diary industry, the nutritive value is still essential for the improvement of people's health and physique. As a token of the nutrition necessities and an upgraded consumption structure, diary products are definitely indispensable for the solid market demand.
According to surveys, people aged from 26 to 35 constitute the main consumer group in the diary market. A majority of consumers take an optimistic attitude toward the prospect of China's diary industry. The number of dairy product consumers is going up year by year due to the transition of consumption concept and the increase of residents' income. As a result, the consumption of diary products enjoys a sharp rise year by year.
An insider states that efforts should be made in a wide range of elements including raw milk resource, process, technology, financing, branding and marketing to gain the comprehensive competitive advantage. CCTV has always been an indispensable platform to help dairy manufacturers achieve rapid growth and nationwide expansion.
With the recovery of the Chinese economy, the confidence of consumers is increasingly strong, which will definitely promote the further development of China's diary market.

European Youth Meet July 2018
Friday July 6 - Sunday July 8, 2018
Day One Homecoming
On Friday afternoon, youth from across Europe arrived in Rome for the European Youth Meeting at Casa del Divino, the Centre for Human Excellence located in the sacred town of Assisi.
Greeted by the Italian youth, they drove from the busy city directly to the heart of Italy, past fields of sunflowers and wheat. After a quick stop off at their hostel, they were joined by Sister Giovanna Negretto Cambiaso who accompanied them to the Ashram and would prove to be an invaluable 'spiritual tour guide' on their pilgrimage.
They had youth from eight nations in Europe and joining them from across the Atlantic were Murali Vullaganti and David Moxam who had travelled from California and Texas.
They were welcomed at the Ashram by Mr Ampellio Veleda and the Service Team who took care of them as family, for the duration of their visit. The entire group, including the service team, numbered 38. Following Bhajans, the Italian Youth Coordinator, Salvatore Iozzia introduced Mr Ampellio who extended his welcome to the youth and narrated the story of the founding of the Ashram by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
The European Youth Coordinator, Jai Mexis reiterated this welcome and expressed the wish that the youth be inspired by the principle of surrender demonstrated by St. Francis. At the recent Youth Meet and Ashram Inauguration in the spring of 2018, Bhagawan had instructed Mr Ampellio to feed the youth well; so a nourishing dinner followed. A service schedule had been drawn up by Silvia Veleda who ensured that all the youth had an opportunity to serve in the Ashram in different ways during the following days. The evening closed with Bhajans and Arati, before the youth returned to the hostel.

Dead Man's Burden (2012) - Jared Moshe
Set in the 1870s, in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, Dead Man's Burden tells the story of Marth and her Husband, Heck, who are struggling to make ends meet on the rough frontier. A mining company has expressed interest in buying their land, with the couple eager to have a better life. Things get complicated when Wade, the oldest brother who was thought to have died in the Civil War, returns home after learning of his father's death. Wade was disowned by his father for defecting to the Union Army but when he returns home he begins to question the true nature of his father's death. Jared Moshe's Dead Man's Burden is an incredibly simple concept that relies on great character dynamics to tell a thoroughly compelling story. This is certainly a film that would be classified as slow burning, but it would be entirely unfair to call this film poorly paced. The character dynamics make this film interesting from start to finish, with a slow building tension between the three main characters which leads to an explosive conclusion. The strength of the film lies in the character depth with both Martha and Wade being thoroughly explored. Neither character is shown from a biased point-of-view, with the narrative exploring the reasoning for their decisions, no matter how wrong or right the audience deems them. The cinematography of Dead Man's Burden is solid, capturing the old western style with cinematography that shows the vast landscapes and the harsh conditions of the smouldering sun. Jared Moshe's Dead Man's Burden is a great example of how effective low-budget films can be, showing the true power of strong storytelling and character dynamics.

Q: How can I make the camera fly through objects in OpenGL using Glut? First off, all of my code can be found here, it's in 3 files.
flythrough.cpp, support.cpp, support.h
Okay... so if you run that, it seems to work, but a few things are really bugging me!
The camera is starting off in a strange location, I try to change all kinds of variables, but it doesn't seem to have an effect.
The biggest issue right now is moving the camera. At this point in time... the camera WILL move left and right, but NOT forward or backward. When I try to move forward, it's like the pixels are doing the correct thing, the object will eventually vanish as I move forward, like I've moved past it, but the object itself is not "appearing larger" as I get closer. Same for moving backward.
Please let me know if you can come up with anything.
I'd like to add that a majority of this code comes from my textbook. With modifications from myself.
Thanks!

A: Its an orthographic camera, therefore you cannot move along the Z axis. You need to change your camera type to do what your trying to do.
Ref: Line 33, flythrough.cpp
glOrtho(-2.0 * 64 / 48.0, 2.0 * 64 / 48.0, -2.0, 2.0, 100, 100.0);

Typically, just uncomment this line, then write the following:
gluPerspective(60.0, 640.0 / 480.0, 0.1, 1000.0);

This will multiply a perspective matrix by the currently loaded identity matrix (LoadIdentity()).
Ref: http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/xhtml/gluPerspective.xml

A: Without trying to work out your axis, have you tried moving the camera back and forwards along the Z axis instead of Y. Perhaps your depth axis is setup to be Z not Y.

Devolution 'at risk' if Labour do not back reform before 2021 election
10 Jul 2019 3 minute read
The Senedd in Cardiff. Picture by Ifan Morgan Jones.
Devolution could be at risk if the Government does not crack on with introducing a fairer voting system and an increase in the number of AMs in time for the 2021 elections, it will be argued today.
Challenging Labour to back reform plans, Plaid Cymru Leader Adam Price warned that if not done now the Senedd would risk its ability to deliver for the people of Wales which, under the context of Brexit, could threaten Welsh democracy.
Speaking ahead of today's debate on Assembly Reform, he said that the Senedd was "being held back" from fully realising "its potential as a parliament for the people of Wales" because Labour in Wales were refusing to back its reform.
Plaid Cymru's motion proposes that the National Assembly for Wales:
Calls for immediate action in order to increase the number of Assembly Members in time for the start of the Sixth Assembly.
The introduction of a fully proportional single transferable vote system for electing Members in time for the next Assembly elections in 2021.
Both changes were recommended by an expert panel on Assembly Electoral Reform, chaired by Professor Laura McAllister, in 2017.
However, it was revealed last month that Labour wished not to press ahead with the reform until 2026.
'Immediate'
Plaid Cymru said that reform by 2021 is still possible with the right "political will".
"Despite growing in power and responsibility, our Senedd is being held back from fully realising its potential as a parliament for the people of Wales because of Labour in Wales's refusal to support its reform by 2021," Adam Price said.
"Our Senedd is too small and at breaking point. The people of Wales expect and deserve a parliament fit for purpose – one that is big enough to be able to hold government to account.
"That is why we must increase the number of AMs and implement an STV system by 2021 to ensure we have a strong Senedd that is able to fully operate as an effective parliament that can work for the people of Wales.
"We cannot kick something as important as this to our democracy into the long grass simply because Labour don't want to do it. Mark Drakeford was elected as Labour's leader in Wales on a platform that advocated more AMs – thereby giving him a mandate to support immediate reform.
"There's no time to waste and in the context of Brexit, Welsh democracy and devolution are at risk. Westminster's system may be broken but in Wales we have the ability to transform our politics, give power to the people and create a parliament that represents all of the voices of our country and works for its citizens. If the political will is there, it is possible. Plaid Cymru is up for the task. The question is: is Labour?"

While most schools look to cut costs by doing away with their Art program, at Shepherd of the Hills we have a different outlook. We feel that artistic ability is a God-given gift and that all students should have the time and instruction to explore art. We have a local La Mesa artist comes in once a week to work with the upper grade students on the concepts and skills of Art. We also have an Art lover that comes in to work with our lower grade students once a week. The students are able to create amazing works of Art!
At the end of every school year, Shepherd of the Hills puts on a school wide musical or play. Time and time again, parents rave as this is one of the highlights of the school year and are always amazed at how well their children perform in front of so many people. Students are able to work on memorization and also continually improve on their public speaking.


An International Concept Design Competition by QUAD studio in 2018 organized by undisclosed developer in Zhuhai to design an Exhibition Pavilion for their development on their New Future Metropolis.
The Setting - Located Zhuhai, China and one of the core cities in the Pearl River Delta. The Zhuhai Gallery pavilion is design to showcase the future developments of their Few Future Metropolis.
A report released by the Chinese Academy of Social Science in 2014, the city of Zhuhai is the most liveable city in China. Surrounded by landscape, Zhuhai has a reputation of being a garden city and having a quality of life.
Design Concept - The design evolved from a key primary objective, to bring the vision of this New Metropolis to the people and to let everyone experience a taste of what the future brings to the district as well as the city of Zhuhai. During the design process, many Cultural Icons were explored. With this option, we were inspired by the idea of creating a 'garden city'.
Opportunity to create a Pavilion that truly showcase Zhuhai as a garden city - When it come the design of the Zhuhai Gallery Pavilion, it is only appropriate to showcase the "Garden City" within this new modern metropolis by creating an iconic public garden in the heart of the New Future Metropolis.
The Folium - By creating an iconic vision of a 'Garden City', we develop a simple leaf like structure that we call 'The Folium' that represents a quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in a single architectural vision.
The pavilion structure resembles that of two simple leaves with laminar structure and pinnate venation. Using ETFE, the translucent roof membrane shows off the workings of the pavilion.
One can enter the pavilion from the northern from the park and southern entrances from the main road and pier. The entrances brings the visitor into the heart of the pavilion where they can have time to choose what they want to experience. The functions of the pavilion are logistically separated with active zones a ground level, semi active zones on level 1 and passive zones on level 2.
The Pavilion after the exhibition - Although the concept of the garden city can be replicated within the confines of the Pavilion. However, if had an opportunity to create a world class statement, we want to make use of the adjacent parkland transforming the park into a purpose designed garden city for Zhuhai.
After the exhibition. The gallery has the opportunity for another life as a botanical garden and a gateway to the parkland that makes the pavilion a global attraction. The botanical garden can show off different species of plants from all around the Pearl River Delta in a climate controlled environment as well as wildlife like birds and fishes.

Hadleigh ready for great leap forward
Published: 12:01 AM March 12, 2004
IT'S only the first step, I know, but I can't help feeling that Hadleigh is almost ready to enter the 21st century.Councillors at Babergh have agreed that the most logical place for a new supermarket – which the town needs – is on the site of the Brett Works in the middle of the town.
IT'S only the first step, I know, but I can't help feeling that Hadleigh is almost ready to enter the 21st century.
Councillors at Babergh have agreed that the most logical place for a new supermarket - which the town needs - is on the site of the Brett Works in the middle of the town.
That's the site where Tesco wants to build a new store - a proposal which seems to a driven a wedge through the town.
There aren't many people who live in Hadleigh or who know Hadleigh who don't have a view on this proposal. I'm only an occasional visitor to the town and I'm in no doubt - it's the best thing that could happen to the place.
Market towns with supermarkets in the centre thrive. People from nearby villages and the town itself will go shopping there rather than drive into Ipswich to visit Tesco or Morrisons.
And they might even manage to attract people from wider afield who fancy the idea of pottering around somewhere different while still being able to get the weekly shop in the process.
That's where places Woodbridge - with Budgens, Stowmarket - with Asda, and Felixstowe - with Solar - score.
People like the convenience of superstores, but sometimes it's good to combine your grocery shopping with something a bit different.
So frankly I don't believe all the little specialist shops in Hadleigh will go bust if Tescos comes to the town centre.
What would have destroyed the town centre would have been the daft idea to build a superstore on the site of Buyright on the edge of the town - it's a site that's just far enough out to ensure that no one would walk from the town centre to the supermarket.
It would have killed off Hadleigh town centre within months.
With a vibrant supermarket in the middle of the town, Hadleigh could just become a bustling market town again.
THEIR leader's been suspended from the borough council for rudeness to staff.
Another councillor has been thrown off the authority and banned from standing again for a year after failing to declare an interest in council discussions.
So why are Ipswich's Tories in such an upbeat mood?
When the Adjudication Panel found against Stephen Barker and Gordon Terry, the Tory group on the council was thrown into disarray.
They didn't know what to do - and it took 10 days before a new leadership emerged with former deputy Dale Jackson at the helm.
There were some doubts over Mr Jackson - who had his own brush with controversy when it was revealed he had been marching with the Orangemen in Ulster.
But since he's taken on the leadership, Mr Jackson and his group have been transformed.
"It's as if a boil has been lanced," one Tory told me. "Our meetings could be a fractious in the past, but that's all changed.
"We really feel as if we are one group moving forward together - and about to make big gains at the election in June."
A united Tory group at Civic Centre! What will happen next?
WHETHER or not we can claim all the credit I don't know but it has been good to see police officers, traffic wardens, and community safety officers patrolling the Upper Brook Street and Dogs Head Street area of the town centre over the last week.
Ever since we highlighted the fact that drivers were not being stopped for driving through there, the traffic regulations seem to have been rigourously enforced.
Certainly at least one driver felt the Star - or rather me as I wrote the article - was to blame for his getting a ticket and left a torrent of Anglo-Saxon oaths on our answering machine late one night.
I was just sorry he hadn't caught me when I was in the office. Then I could have asked him whether he had driven illegally along Dogs Head Street because he was too stupid to read the signs or too arrogant to think they applied to him.
