“Obama’s presidency is now a deformed caricature of its former self… I reach this melancholy and unattractive conclusion following Obama’s truly bizarre argument that the only alternative to his capitulation to Iran is war.
This is a statement almost clinically deranged. It combines everything that is bad in the Obama presidency: rhetorical overreach, emotional blackmail, supreme arrogance and an almost demented failure to confront reality.

‘..”They’re called the civil rights organisations, they’re not called the black rights organisations,” Bland said. “The colour of his skin should not matter. White-on-white crime does not get the same impact as white-on-black crime.”
Black activists are similarly asking why more people who countered the Black Lives Matter movement by saying “All Lives Matter” have been so silent on Hammond’s death…’   Link

and boy, am I getting sick of this shit: ‘We’re introducing yet another white male broadcaster to prime time, at the expense of a strong, experienced female interviewer, says Rachel Smalley.‘
Because possession of a uterus is SO important when reading crap off a teleprompter.
On the other hand, we have this great story. I know that country, and it’s damn tough.

Teachers and sexual misconduct
‘..It is not just Texas. Nationwide, it is epidemic, says Terry Abbott, the former U.S. Department of Education chief-of-staff who heads up Houston-based research firm Drive West Communications. They track reports of inappropriate teacher-student sexual relationship across the country…’
They will explain that although numerous, they’re still a tiny minority of teachers, not at all representative. And so it is. But those same people, when excoriating priests for the same offences, will claim that those priests represent an entire organisation and that all priests are suspect.
Hypocrisy defines the left.

‘Camp of the Saints, Revisited’
Their plan is on track. All else is merely “sound and fury, signifying nothing”

‘Decline of Europe: Afghanistan Model

…Instead of tackling organised immigrant crime or violent ghettos police will go after the easy targets – domesticated Europeans who will pay their fines and don’t put up any resistance. Under the guise of community policing, London’s Metropolitan Police are now only accepting applications from people who speak languages other than English, effectively excluding native Londoners from their own police force and leaving them to the mercy of a foreign mercenary police force…’
Update:
Ancient Problem, Ancient Solution
‘..We do whatever we have to and we keep doing it until they’re scared to even whisper our nation’s name. We surrender no more soil than it takes to bury them. They have somewhere else to run to. We don’t.’

I think if Cecil the Lion were alive to see this,even he would be shaking his head.Isis is still on a tear,Planned Parenthood is acting like the death camps never closed and Russia is eyeing more real estate.Meanwhile in Asia China is wondering how much Bamboo it will take to prop up it’s wobbly market.What are the media worried about?-Cecil the now dead Lion.

As seen before,the folks in  and from Zimbabwe aren’t torn up about it –

In the NYT no less

NZ Herald headline:
“John Key wants to sell off regional NZ to Chinese in order to bail out his government”
Well, not quite. What the headline actually says:
‘Wanted for regions: Chinese buyers
The Prime Minister says people outside the City of Sails are telling him they want Chinese buyers in their area because they increase the value of their homes..’
How many people? I suspect these “people” just happen to be employed predominantly in the real-estate business.
Update:    ‘Regional leaders reject Key’s claim
Regional leaders say they want foreign investment, but not in their houses, despite claims by Prime Minister John Key to the contrary…’

Kevin Jackson asks a good question.

“So if white people are so bad, why does everybody want to live with them? And if that’s not enough food for thought, try this. Pick your African, Middle Eastern or other “colored” country and tell me if you’d like that country to be the example for the world.”

‘…The Republican field is frozen in error by lack of either vision or courage on this issue, and by its need to please its corporate donors.  These corporate donors want cheaper labor forever and delude themselves about the not far off social and political consequences of massive illegal immigration. After all, those consequences will reach them later than they do the rest of us — they have not shown up yet in the gated communities, elite private schools, high-income jobs and country clubs of the nation’s governing class.  Only the Democratic Party knows what is really happening, and it appears destined to get exactly what it wants: A few hundred thousand more dependable client voters in a bunch of key states, after which it can rest easily in the certainty of victory in every presidential election for the next half century.
….The significance of the previously unserious Trump’s stratospheric rise — on this issue alone — should get through even the thickest skull.
The 2016 presidential election hangs in the balance much earlier than usual….’
