I really need to find the time to revive the memes. This one is 2016-worthy.
Extremely Dangerous
Episode 13 of Alt★Hero, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, is now live on Webtoons. Shade approves.
SJW corpocracy smells blood
They’re going after the Washington Redskins again.
- FedEx is requesting a name change for the team that plays at FedEx Field. A day after a group of investment firms asked FedEx and other companies to stop doing business with the team unless it changes the team name, FedEx released a statement to multiple media outlets saying it has requested a name change. “We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name,” the statement said.
- At Nike.com, there’s no sign of any merchandise bearing the name or logo of the Washington franchise. There’s more: The vertical drop-down menu on the left side of the site that comes up when searching for gear for any of the other NFL teams completely omits the Washington franchise. Last year, Nike omitted the team name from its annual Salute to Service collection. The more recent action sends a much stronger message.
If Snyder and the NFL are foolish enough to cave on this, it’s only a matter of time before the New England PATRIOTS and the Kansas City CHIEFS are targeted. And no amount of exegesis concerning what is and what is not a racial slur is going to prevent it.
At some point in time, people are going to grasp that giving any ground at all to these demoniacs is simply an invitation to subsequent attacks. There is always one, and only one, answer to give to corporate threats to pull support in order to force your compliance in anything: “fine, go away now.”
The Trumpslide is still on
Remember, the vote is not between President Trump and some mythical crossbreed of FDR, JFK, and Obama, it’s between him and a candidate who is so much worse than an obviously sick Hillary Clinton that they have to keep him out of sight of the media 24-7.
Professor Helmut Norpoth from Stony Brook University told Lou Dobbs on August 16th, 2016, that Donald Trump had an 87{be34cf4e072da35a0c04a2e221243f4cbc894a96c0bad199497f322617eb5c82} chance of winning the 2016 Presidential election.
trump green bayProfessor Norpoth is a political science professor at Long Island’s Stony Brook University. His model has been correct since 1996 on predicting the popular vote. Helmut joined Lou Dobbs again tonight to discuss the 2020 election. He gives President Trump a 91{be34cf4e072da35a0c04a2e221243f4cbc894a96c0bad199497f322617eb5c82} chance of winning the 2020 Presidential election.
His odds will probably go up as white Americans get even more tired of BLM antics over the summer.
Shut up, Ted
How many national anthems do we have??
Is there an Hispanic national anthem?
An Asian-American national anthem?
This is asinine. We are ONE America. E Pluribus Unum.
– Ted Cruz
Shut up, Ted. You’re a Cuban who arrived by way of Canada. You’re not a Texan. You’re not an American. You’re a foreign mandarin of an imperial state.
If blacks tell you they’re playing their national anthem, then they are obviously a distinct and separate nation. Listen to them. Or are you denying them self-determination?
Historian in hot water over history
How dare British historians actually know anything about British and world history!
Historian David Starkey could lose his University of Cambridge fellowship after he claimed ‘slavery was not genocide’ because ‘so many damn blacks live in Africa and Britain.’
Dr Starkey, 75, was accused of racism following an interview with BeLeave founder Darren Grimes, during which he argued the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is ‘wholly and entirely a product of white colonisation’.
Speaking via video link from his home, the historian said ‘the only reason that these young black protestors are here’ is ‘because of slavery’.
He added: ‘What has happened of course is that the only reason that these young black protestors are here – isn’t it slavery?
‘It’s only because of the great African diaspora, the compulsory diaspora, because of slavery. What of course that brings you up to confronting is of course slavery was not the equivalent of the Holocaust.
‘Slavery was not genocide, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many damn blacks in Africa or in Britain, would there? An awful lot of them survived.
‘And again, there’s no point in arguing against globalisation or Western civilisation: they are all products of it. We are all products of it.
Slavery obviously isn’t genocide. Economically inefficient as it is, it wouldn’t have worked as long as it did if it was. American Indians suffered genocide in part because they didn’t make good slaves. Africans, quite obviously, did not, with the exception of those living in the Belgian Congo.
If the British want to beat themselves up over the moral failings of the West – and I am not saying that it should – it should do so over the conquest, genocide, and near-total dispossession of the American Indian, not its treatment of Africans, or Arabs, or Jews.
Crypto.Fashion deplatformed
They were kicked off Shopify today. Watch this space for their inevitable revival with their own independent platform.
And if your business is still dependent upon a one-stop shop, it’s time to exit the platform and build your own. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you do, the crocodile is coming for you.
Maxwell arrested
I wonder how long it will be before she, too, doesn’t kill herself:
Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein and alleged madam who is accused of procuring young girls for him, has been arrested in New Hampshire.
The FBI took her into custody on Thursday morning and she is due to appear in a federal court later, NBC News reports, citing two unnamed sources.
At this time the charges she is facing are unknown but they are understood to have been filed by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
The net keeps closing. No wonder they’re so desperate.
The One-Upper
The new episode of Hypergamouse, NO ONE LIKES A ONE-UPPER, is now live on Webtoons. And Hypergamouse artist Lacey Fairchild is rapidly becoming one of Arkhaven’s star illustrators, as she’s in the process of graduating from just illustrating the strips to writing scripts as well.
As I mentioned on SocialGalactic, what sets her apart is her ability to convey facial expressions and body language in just a few simple lines. Here is a great example: the body language expressed by the female mouse in this panel from HM02 beautifully sets up the foundation for several future strips to come.
UPDATE: In not-entirely-unrelated news, MIDNIGHT’S WAR finished the Short Story submission period as the 26th most popular entry of the 5,071 total entries, and the 7th most popular in the Brain category. Prizes are awarded to the top ten entries in both categories, so it will be interesting to see how it fares in the judges’ eyes. The announcement of the winners will be July 31.
The fall of the Republic of CHAZ
Having been sufficiently spooked by “protestors” showing up in her neighborhood, the Seattle Mayor has finally decided to send the police into CHAZ:
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan issued a Proclamation of Civil Emergency regarding the East Precinct and Cal Anderson Park area today. The order declared the gathering in this area as an “unlawful assembly” requiring immediate action from city agencies, including the Seattle Police Department.
But don’t worry, the Mayor and the Police Chief are still on the side of Palestinian Lives Matter.
Today, Mayor Jenny Durkan issued a 48-hour public safety emergency order to vacate the East Precinct/Cal Anderson area. Seattle police will be in the area this morning enforcing the Mayor’s order.
This order, and our police response, comes after weeks of violence in and around the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone, including four shootings, resulting in multiple injuries and the deaths of two teenagers.
As I have said, and I will say again, I support peaceful demonstrations. Black Lives Matter, and I too want to help propel this movement toward meaningful change in our community.
But enough is enough.
The history of the CHAZunards was brief, but glorious. And it was important, too. It showed us exactly what life in the post-USA is going to be like for everyone.
