This is the backdrop for the story.

A while back, Ilhan Omar, the Democrat was in a video that surfaced that showed her giggling about people being concerned about al Qaeda.

My old man used to say that there were some people who needed killing. Saturday a 69-year-old goober who was part of the terrorist Antifa organization got exactly what he needed as he tried to firebomb and ICE facility in Seattle, WA. I really have zero sympathy for him. He was part of a vicious group of thugs who have assaulted people and destroyed property throughout, primarily, the Pacific Northwest. In Portland, where they operate under the protection of the mayor, they have cowed the police into submission.

Not only did the Antifa goober try to firebomb an ICE facility, he left behind a “manifesto” that reads like an Ocasio-Cortez speech. Given those things, one would think that the least she could do would be to condemn it. But then you wouldn’t be AOC, or Chiquita Khrushchev as Ace styles her.

Michigan swing voters are, by a majority, siding with President Trump’s “America First” immigration agenda and blasting plans by 2020 Democrat presidential primary candidates to open the United States-Mexico border, decriminalize illegal immigration, and provide free healthcare to all illegal aliens.

An Axios report which chronicled a focus group of Michigan swing voters — those who voted for Mitt Romney in 2012, but switched to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and those who voted for Barack Obama twice, but switched to vote for Trump in 2016 — finds that by a majority these voters prefer Trump’s low-immigration, high-wage economic model as opposed to the 2020 Democrats’ plans to allow an unlimited flow of foreign workers to the country, legally and illegally.





 
I don't know if this is true, but many people are saying it. Have you heard this? T's racist tweet outburst this weekend were just one white robe short of a Klan rally.

Al Green: Trump impeachment would heal our country’s “Original Sin”

TAYLOR MILLARD Posted at 10:41 pm on July 15, 2019

Houston Congressman Al Green thinks impeaching President Donald Trump will suddenly close the racial divide in America. The Democrat suggested Trump’s ousting would be a public cleansing for the nation.










This bigotry. This hate. This homophobia, Islamaphobia, xenophobia is a part of our Original Sin. We in the Congress of the United States of America have an opportunity to do something about the Original Sin. We can do so by simply allowing these articles of impeachment that I will file, and bring to the floor of the House of Representatives this month, to be debated and voted upon…

This is one of the great issues of our time. People have to know where we stand. This is our opportunity and I beg that we would take advantage of it and let history know that when we had a chance to do something about the Original Sin of the United States of America, the sin which caused us to have a Civil War. The sin which took Dr. King’s life. The sin which took Abraham Lincoln’s life. When we had an opportunity to do something about the Original Sin, we took the opportunity and we did which was the most honorable thing to do and that was to impeach this president…

This is pure grandstanding and it is seriously doubtful impeachment of Trump would all of a sudden heal whatever racial wounds the United States has suffered. It’s not like we’ll all be standing with our hands held together, singing Kumbaya, once Trump is out of the White House (although a lot of people will probably breathe a sigh of relief, depending on his replacement). But it’s good for a sound bite and to make sure Green gets re-elected in 2020.






Green also suggested Trump’s tweets about Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley caused plenty of consternation across the U.S. This is a bit doubtful because most people know Trump tends to say or tweet rather doltish and blockheaded phrases. They probably just rolled their eyes and went, “there he goes again,” then went about their Sunday.






Odin knows Trump will most likely not give an apology even after defending his rhetoric earlier today. The Central Park Five are still waiting for an apology and they’ve been exonerated for years. So, if Trump won’t apologize for saying in the ’80s the death penalty in New York should come back, he won’t with Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, and Pressley.

The move by Green will probably fail – although he’ll likely get more support than he did in 2017 (AP has already looked at this issue here). It’s more likely the resolution to condemn Trump will pass, and maybe that’s all which should happen. The comments are appalling and completely out of line with the decorum expected of a United States president. However, it’s doubtful these fall under the notion of “high crimes and misdemeanors” labeled in the Constitution.







Green is right about one thing: Congress does need more of a backbone. It’s needed one for ages. One reason why this doesn’t happen is it’s a lot easier to rail about a problem – while in Congress or on the campaign trail – than actually do something about it. Republicans were against executive overreach before they were for it. Democrats were in favor of executive overreach before they decided it wasn’t a good idea. Plus, it’s much easier to complain about the jackass bureaucratic regulators than it is to just get rid of their departments – and not replace them.







It’s in this sense where St. George Tucker was absolutely correct when he warned in 1803about the danger of an executive which acted more like a king than a president with checks and balances.

The limitations which the constitution has provided to the powers of the president, seem not to be sufficient to restrain this department within its proper bounds, or to preserve it from acquiring and exerting more than a due share of influence. To this cause it may be attributed, that in addition to the very extensive powers, influence, and patronage which the constitution gives to the president of the United States, congress have, from time to time, with a liberal hand, conferred others still more extensive; many of them discretionary, and not infrequently questionable, as to their constitutionality.

These circumstances but too well justify the remark, that if a single executive do not exhibit all the features of monarchy at first, like the infant Hercules, it requires only time to mature its strength, to evince the extent of its powers. Crescit occulto velut arbor avo.

Congress could actually do something about out-of-control executives, but they’re too busy virtue signalling for campaign ads.

"Racially charged" and "racially tinged" are among some of the most common euphemisms used by news organizations to avoid calling something or someone "racist."
What does it take for the media to call something racist?

Over the past three years, it has been like pulling teeth to get some members of the press to call the constant stream of falsehoods, fantasies, and figments of tortured non-facts lies. It shouldn’t be hard to call a lie a lie, but some parts of the news media act as if mental telepathy is necessary to use the word “liar” or “lie” since they argue it requires a judgment on intent which offends their journalistic sensibilities. Of course, this is complete bullshit. It has nothing to do with the integrity of objective “balance” in reporting, and everything to do with fear of losing access. These same craven assholes who can’t say or write out the word “lie” spend the entire day in speculation about candidate’s “mindset,” parsing statements for what they “may mean,” or guessing what someone “could” or “may” do in the future. They make judgments on intent all the time, but they will also jump through semantic hoops in order to not offend anyone in the audience—even the cultists of lying assholes—since they watch the ads for toothpaste and shitty term life insurance, too.

However, if the media has problems using the word lie, their inability to call something or someone “racist” is outright disgraceful. As much as Republicans are (rightfully) castigated for their complicity in Trump’s racism, the press corps is not much better.

There has been a long-standing problem of the press deciding to use euphemistic language to describe racism instead of just calling it racism. It was a problem when Trump was regurgitating “birther” garbage against President Obama. And it’s a problem now when he’s using the standard racist mantra of “go back to where you came from.” Instead of clear language and honest reporting, incidents are “racially charged” or “racially tinged.” The people who do racist things are not racists, but “firebrands” using racial language. This became a point of contention earlier this year when the NBC News standards department initially told their staff in a memo not to refer to Rep. Steve King’s comments about white supremacy as “racist,” but only as something that “many are calling racist.” After the memo leaked, NBC was shamed into publicly reversing course, even though their initial reticence in saying something or someone is “racist” is not out of the norm for the industry. And it’s such a bad norm, the Associated Press changed their style guide in March to instruct news organizations not to use euphemisms when the terms “racist” or “racism” are applicable.

With the latest incident of Trump’s overt bigotry toward four congresswomen, I thought it would be interesting to see how the media reacted this time, while trying to understand the forces and thinking behind it. Because this sort of framing affects everything from Chuck Todd fretting about definitions of “concentration camps” all the way to how Disney deciding to cast a black woman as a mermaid is discussed.
 
From the Washington Post:

In 2016, Obama Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said a “final concept design” of the Tubman $20 would be released in 2020. He asked the government to accelerate the process of the redesign, saying the new look would be released by 2020, the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote.

But inside the agency, some government officials doubted that deadline could be met. A confidential 2013 report by the Advanced Counterfeit Deterrence committee, an interagency group that oversees the redesign of U.S. currency, said the $20 would not enter circulation until 2030, similar to the timeline announced by the Trump administration, according to Larry R. Felix, director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing from 2006 to 2015.

Felix and other senior officials believed it would not be possible to release a “concept” design of Tubman on the $20 in 2020, given that these designs are never released several years — much less an entire decade — before they enter circulation.

Huh.
