(By Cyril Blubberpuss, Conservative-American) *“A*s any devotee of professional tax dodger Grover Norquist would tell you, Uncle Sam’s been looking a bit too fit around the belt line these days,” as I told a homeless mother of four shivering in a doorway with her brood. “And it’s about time we put the fat fuck on a diet!” I added before throwing her one of those fake 20 dollar bills sadistic evangelicals use to trick excited waiters into opening them and finding instead an invitation to one their babbling in tongues services.

The Shutdown Is Disproportionally Hurting Native Americans

White Wolf at White Wolf - 17 hours ago
The federal government shutdown has stretched to more than 30 days with no clear end in sight, as President Trump continues to demand his border wall. The crisis has shaken the lives of everyday people across the country, from federal prisoners to low-wage government workers. But there is one especially vulnerable population in times like these: Native Americans. Most Indian tribes have only recently begun to prosper economically after nearly three centuries of oppression and efforts by the federal government to annihilate them.

NYT: an anti-HEP rant by Hossenfelder

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 20 hours ago
The politically correct media love to lie 24 hours a day and attack perceived enemies – such as the whites, men, white men, conservatives, Donald Trump, his supporters and his policies, old-fashioned corporations and their owners, the Western civilization, Judeo-Christian traditions, nations and patriots, families that work along the good old rules... pretty much everything that is valuable about our world. Particle physics has been undoubtedly added as one of these enemies. So one's surprise was limited yesterday when the most famous left-wing U.S. daily published an op-ed by an ot... more »

He notes that of the 20 major U.S. cities with the highest homicide rates in terns of homicides per 100,000 people, that 19 of the 20 highest murder rate cities are controlled by Democrats, many of them for decades.

Trump hailed as new Gandhi: Watch leftist heads explode

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
This is close to the truth as well. Trump does have an agenda that will actually take many years to properly roll out and to properly protect. He will have six more years and his successor will have the task of protecting it all for eight more. Right now we are in the end game of asserting real control over the Federal government. This will allow him to eliminate and to completely reform all agencies over the next two years. Central will be an eminent RIF which is now possible.

*[image: Filmmaker Deeyah Khan sits down with white supremacist Ken Parker in White Right: Meeting the Enemy.

Free young men who do not belong yet to a new natural community after exiting the natural community that nurtured them are vulnerable to these radical appeals.

Have Aliens Found Us? A Harvard Astronomer on the Mysterious Interstellar Object ‘Oumuamua

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
So far, the best explanation is that a habitat ship passed through and made a useful course adjustment. It may well have also acquired resupply from Saturn as well and we did not see it. These habitat ships are a natural concept for lifting populations from a birth planet and supporting then as they cruise the galaxy in normal time while actually communicating through a spatial worm hole with their birth planet. A connective wormhole can also be used to facilitate resource transfer from the rings. At least this gives us the apparent scale of such voyages. If this all turns o... more »

The Race Gap Nobody Is Talking About Is in the Classroom

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
There is actually a much bigger problem here. We need way more male teachers in elementary school as well. Children need a supply of role models they are able to identify with. Teachers happen to be the best source of such. I also suspect that white teachers should dominate the teaching of nonwhite students and that nonwhite teachers dominate the teaching of white students. This can quickly drive the whole assimilation narrative. This is a radical rethinking, but it also demands a consistent higher quality of teacher to become standard everywhere. *. * *The Race Gap Nobody I... more »
