Illegals and the American Dream
By Daniel John Sobieski
When talking about immigration, Democrats like to conflate illegal and legal immigration, dropping the word “illegal” and spouting meaningless babble about no human being illegal. They like to preach that illegal immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than American citizens, a factoid that has been exposed as a lie.

The murder of legal immigrant and Newman Police Corporal Ronil Singh on Christmas night by an illegal alien in the sanctuary state of California shows not only that the claims by Chuck Schumer and the “bride of Chucky” Nancy Pelosi that the Democrats support border security is a deadly and bald-faced lie. It highlights the difference between legal and illegal immigrants, between those who love America and want to be Americans and those who murder them.

Pelosi and Schumer like to talk about the “Dreamers.” Well, Ronil Singh had dreams, too:

Ronil Singh came to the U.S. from his native Fiji to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming an officer, joining a small-town police force in California and working to improve his English. The day after Christmas, he stopped another immigrant, this one in the country illegally, who shot and killed the corporal, authorities said Thursday…

"This suspect is in our country illegally. He doesn't belong here. He is a criminal," Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson, whose agency is leading the investigation, told reporters.

Newman Police Chief Randy Richardson fought back tears as he described Singh, a 33-year-old with a newborn son, as an "American patriot."

"He came to America with one purpose, and that was to serve this country," Richardson said…

"He was living the American dream," said Stanislaus County Sheriff's Deputy Royjinder Singh, who is not related to the slain officer but knew him. "He loved camping, loved hunting, loved fishing, loved his family."

And now he is dead. The blood of Kate Steinle, Mollie Tibbetts, and now Ronil Singh and others is on the hands of open border advocates and the sanctuary city loons who provide no sanctuary for the American citizen victims of illegal alien criminals.

George Washington's Prescient Words
By Eileen F. Toplansky
As the man who was "first in the hearts of his countrymen," George Washington wrote guiding principles for the newly established country in his Farewell Address of 1796. He stressed:

... that the 'national Union' formed the bedrock of 'collective and individual happiness' for U.S. citizens. As he explained, 'The name of AMERICAN, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local distinctions.'

We see the degradation of this idea of patriotism as the left continually hammers away that America is the nexus of evil. One need only read the 1994 book titled Unsettling America: An Anthology of Contemporary Multicultural Poetry, which states in its introduction that the "nostalgic vision of a simple, harmonious past ... obscures the long history of oppression within the United States." The editors choose "not to be all inclusive [or] create a pluralistic play of voices." Instead, they choose "poems that directly address the instability of American identity and confront the prevalence of cultural conflict and exchange within the United States ... [in order] to highlight the constant erecting, blurring, breaking, clarifying, and crossing of boundaries that are a consequence of the complex intersections among people's cultures, and languages within national borders."

Hail to the fact that the country is not afraid to deal with its past, but woe to the students who receive such a skewed and narrow interpretation of what the country has accomplished.

Dinesh D'Souza writes in his Death of a Nation that "in other countries, a flag is just a flag, but in America ... the flag is the symbol of a founding event, emerging out of the Revolutionary War that articulated principles that could only be fully expressed almost ninety years later in the aftermath of one of the bloodiest civil wars in history." America is "a product of design that gave rise to an American dream[.] ... There is no such thing as a French dream, an Indian dream, a Chinese dream. Identity in other countries is based on birth and blood; but in America it is based on embracing American ideals and the American way of life. That's why the American tribe is so multiracial and includes white people, black people and brown people."

Instead of embracing this idea of unity, many football players show disrespect for the American dream every time they kneel.

Leftists eat their own in San Francisco's Mission District
By Monica Showalter
In San Francisco, a city of no conservatives to speak of, things get weird (and not in a good way) when the crazy left gets the urge to "pick a target," "freeze it," "personalize it," and all that.

That's why some jackass has gotten his mojo up and is seeking to run an Israel-supporting lefty Jewish bookstore owner in the Mission District, out of town.

According to the Forward (Hat tip: Daily Wire):

Manny’s, a new business in San Francisco’s Mission District, is part cafe, part bookstore, part political event hall. Owner Manny Yekutiel, a 29-year-old rising star in the world of liberal political organizing, calls it a “civic social gathering space.”

It’s hosted incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, activists with Black Lives Matter — and on the sidewalk outside, protesters upset because Yekutiel is a “Zionist gentrifer.”

“Zionists out of the Mission!” one marcher yelled on Wednesday, Dec. 26, as about 20 members of the Lucy Parsons Project and allied groups gathered outside Manny’s.

Apparently, the creeps doing this couldn't find any Trumpsters to harass, so Manny got it.

This, frankly, is brownshirt stuff, very disturbing to observe in of all places the supposedly "tolerant" Mission. In the past, doing things Nazis did was considered so unacceptable, so convict-y, so trashy that anyone involved in it wouldn't be welcome in public. Now open Nazi tactics against anyone who supports Israel is out there as the avant-garde setting the tone. We see disturbing tweets like this:

If you’re a Zionist that continues to support what’s happening to the people in Palestine, then NO..

Equipto, one of the ringleaders of this, seems to be a hip-hop "star" with 14,000 Twitter followers. His real name is Ilyich Sato and he tweets he's proud of its communist provenance.



Anti-Semitism is not new in the Mission District. I recall that several years ago, the hippie collective known as Rainbow Grocery was targeted for selling Israeli soap and lotion products. Lefty ideology at the time was to boycott "the collective."

But this seems more disturbing, because it's got some mainstream referentials, what with the much-vaunted LeBron James openly expressing anti-Semitism before backtracking, and actual anti-Semites getting elected by unassimilated immigrant voters to congressional seats elsewhere in the country. In an atmosphere such as this, a smaller fry such as Equipto feels perfectly comfortable to try to run a Jewish merchant out of town.

Way back in the old days, I used to live in the Mission District of San Francisco. I got into journalism by writing about it for the late-and-much-missed Victor Miller's New Mission News. I know the place pretty well, and though my experience is dated, based on what I can tell, the place is no different from what it always was. It's loaded with the same, all manner of lefties of the most radical stripe (Code Pink's Global Exchange headquarters was on the corner of 16th and Mission, for one, and New College was out around 17th and Valencia or so.), illegal immigrants, artists, drug addicts, misfits, bums, perverts, project-dwellers, activists, drunks, rock bands, and criminals (the San Francisco County Jail used to dump its freed convicts on the corner of 24th and Mission to get back to business), so you get the countercultural flavor of the place.

Manny himself is likely a very nice guy, and his cafe is warm and inviting. Look at the pictures. If you went in as a rightwinger respectfully, it's very likely you would be treated with respect in return. He seems to be relatively close to the Democratic establishment, given his "collective" listed, and his model of starting with a cafe, making it nice, and then using it as a springboard to politics is exactly the model that Gavin Newsom used to achieve the political success he's achieved from San Francisco. That said, it takes a lot of guts to open a cafe in the Mission District, which suffers from high rents and taxes as all of the city does, and instead of being positioned in a nice place such as tony Pacific Heights, where Newsom got his restaurant start, instead brings high crime, drunks peeing in the doorway, and urban blight for Manny. Many lefty bookstores in the area, such as Modern Times, an old lefty stalwart bookstore opened for 45 years, have shut their doors. Many other cafes are gone too as I look at a Google map for San Francisco cafes. The cute French crepe place, Cafe Nidal and Cafe Macondo seem to be gone. The taco shops seem to be holding on, but cafes with big chairs and old wood furniture in the Bohemian style that Starbucks tries hard to franchise on are looking sparser. Now Manny's, which has restored the better parts of the San Francisco Bohemian atmosphere, is getting a crazed leftist organizing for weekly protests in a bid to shut his place down.

With this garbage going on, you have to wonder why it's happening. Is it part of the crackup of the left, which Clarice Feldman noted and explained in her piece on "intersectionality" and how the left always eats its own here? Many of the leftists upset at the Democrats, Bernie-ites and others, aren't embarrassed at all about their open embrace of anti-Semitism and if Manny is aligned with Pelosi, as his events page suggests, is he a target because he's seen as part of her establishment?

Or is it something far stupider, given the presence of Equipto? News accounts say he's been in trouble with the law right there in the area a few months ago. Maybe the boycott is the result of a grudge related to that?

Either way, the left is hungry, and the attack on Manny is clearly a sign of the rabid side of the equation feeling bolder.

Where's Nancy Pelosi to put paid to this garbage?
 
Welcome to America.

Just another dead guy brought to you by the progressive left.

The Most Memorable Leftist Hypocrisies of 2017-8
By Robert Oscar Lopez
The left is composed of horrible people. Most sane people realize this, even if they have friends on the dark side. I have friends on the left, so I can say, "Some of my best friends are horrible people." The right wing has its own problems, but for now, let's talk about the first two years of Trump's presidency. It should stun even the most cynical among us.

From the "99%" to "Crush the Little Guy"

Jason Wilson published a column at the reliably left-wing Guardian called "How the world has fought back against the far-right and started winning."

It celebrates Gestapo tactics against inconsequential bad guys the left labels as racists, Nazis, or whatever. Wilson glorifies "doxing," "counter-surveillance," and "no-platforming." He likes pressuring governments to classify internet commenters as terrorists and deny them visas. It exhilarates him to foment betrayals within conservative camps and devastate people like Milo Yiannopoulos.

You get the feeling that Jason Wilson hates people.

Atop Wilson's hit list sits Gavin McInnes, a guy who made YouTube videos and denounced the Charlottesville protests. Wilson also reminisces gleefully about getting Alex Jones blacked out from social media and demonizing Lauren Southern.

Wilson uses the "Nazi" label. Maybe he shouldn't unless he speaks of himself.

The trials and police investigations following the Reichstag Fire of February 27, 1933 sound eerily like everything Jason Wilson trumpets. The fire caused expensive damage to Germany's parliamentary building. It became the pretext for sundry measures that the National Socialists and Hitler used to eradicate dissent from one-party rule: massive propaganda, "doxing" the supposed bad guys (in this case, communists), banning other parties from meeting, censoring publication of ideas contrary to the state, fishy balloting, abrogating due process, rounding up enemies of order, and seizure of arms and resources.

This sounds like a left-winger's dream come true, if you replace communists with white supremacists or homophobes.

Maybe the left thinks it can carry on this way and won't go to the excesses of the Nazis because American leftists are more civilized. Or something. I doubt that the left even understands the Nazis enough to avoid becoming them.

It took five years to go from the Reichstag Fire to Kristallnacht and the Anschluss. I don't doubt we could go from Charlottesville to a massive raid on transphobic churches and emergency annexation of Guatemala by 2022.

Fighting white supremacy by giving rich white women unchecked power

If you know the story of Emmet Till, you know that in 1955, whites killed a black boy for allegedly flirtatiously addressing a white woman. Why? Because there exists in the American psyche a powerful urge to protect the honor of women, and especially white women.

The white knight returns!

In 2017, Time named Taylor Swift Person of the Year because she dodged a lawsuit by a man far poorer than she was. The man sued her because she called his bosses and told them he had groped her; the radio station fired him. He disputed her claims and sued her for defamation. She showed up to the trial and made a splashy speech that won the jury over, so he ended up with no job, and she came out with even greater fame, notoriety, and fortune. With her millions upon millions of dollars, she could hardly class herself with a honkytonk waitress fighting off a sleazy shift supervisor.

Time found Swift's heroism so dazzling that it overshadowed soldiers killed in war, volunteers running orphanages, leaders of foreign countries, first responders braving death to medevac disaster-survivors, and people who did more than get someone fired for groping them at a photo shoot.
