Remember Claudia Gomez Gonzalez

Claudia Gonzalez Gomez was 20 years old, a Guatemalan migrant. She was murdered by the border patrol. The brutality of the Border Patrol and ICE, unleashed by Trump's racism, will add another bloody stain on this racist country. We also found out that ICE has lost track of nearly 1,500 children who have been separated from their parents. Truth is they don't have to build a wall. The world now hates American and wants nothing more to do with it.

Some good news: "Roseanne" has been cancelled. It turns out that Beast Barr referred to Valerie Jarrett, an official in the Obama administration, as a "moslem" and an "ape." It turns out that even ABC will only sink so far.

Bernard Lewis: Good Riddance

Bernard Lewis just died at the age of 101 (twice as long as the son of a bitch should have lived.) Lewis was professional Islamophobe, Neo-conservative warmonger, and Likudist mouthpiece. He was a cheerleader for the invasion of Iraq, and later kept urging the US to invade Iran. He called himself a historian but he was nothing more than a Zionist-Likudist publicist. To show how fake he was let's look at how he sees the Armenian Genocide:

The meaning of genocide is the planned destruction of a religious and ethnic group, as far as it is known to me, there is no evidence for that in the case of the Armenians. [...] There is no evidence of a decision to massacre. On the contrary, there is considerable evidence of attempts to prevent it, which were not very successful. Yes there were tremendous massacres, the numbers are very uncertain but a million may well be likely...[46] [and] the issue is not whether the massacres happened or not, but rather if these massacres were as a result of a deliberate preconceived decision of the Turkish government... there is no evidence for such a decision.

It is well known that the Turks committed genocide against the Armenians, ethnic Greeks, and Assyrian-Christians. Lewis in his denials, is showing that he was no true historian, but a mere propagandist.

Trump's Bum Deal

One of Trump's selling points was his supposed ability as a "deal maker." But recent events show his deal making skills were oversold. First his highly touted summit with North Korean leader Kim-Jong Un, may or may not be taking place after all. It seems that Kim is balking and demanding more concessions. At the same time the Trump administration is backing off its threat to impose tariffs on China. It seems that Trump is getting hosed by everyone. So much for the "Art of The Deal" in his case more like a Fart of a Deal.

Bonehead Trump Causes Bloodshed in Middle East

Trump's decision to move the US embassy to Middle East has provoked bloodshed. Yesterday Israeli forces killed 58 Palestinians wounded 3000. The violence will probably continue. Trump and Netanyahu may have thought they were going to beat the Palestinians into submission but they were wrong.

The Likudist claque has already started yelling about "Anti-Semitism." The Israeli's by behaving like fascists have made the term "anti-Semitism" meaningless.

Kanye West:"I Wanna Be White"

Kanye West, hiphop megastar and provocateur, has not only embraced Donald Trump but also claims that "slavery was a choice." This has not been well received by most African-Americans. West's statement, is absurd on the face of it: why would people choose to be brutally exploited, beaten, raped, mutilated? West's defenders might try to say he's having a relapse of mental health problems he's had in the past. But is it?

We need to recognize there are 3 separate issues here:

1. Admiring a person's work,

2. Liking that person as a person,

3. Agreeing with every position a person happens to take.

Just because a celebrity meets criterion 1, doesn't entail 2 or 3. We need to get away from the blind worship of wealth and celebrity which led to Donald Trump.

The most powerful critique of West is the article by Ta-Nehisi Coates in the Atlantic "I'm not Black, I'm Kanye."

I will include this quote by Coates:

West calls his struggle the right to be a “free thinker,” and he is, indeed, championing a kind of freedom—a white freedom, freedom without consequence, freedom without criticism, freedom to be proud and ignorant; freedom to profit off a people in one moment and abandon them in the next; a Stand Your Ground freedom, freedom without responsibility, without hard memory; a Monticello without slavery, a Confederate freedom, the freedom of John C. Calhoun, not the freedom of Harriet Tubman, which calls you to risk your own; not the freedom of Nat Turner, which calls you to give even more, but a conqueror’s freedom, freedom of the strong built on antipathy or indifference to the weak, the freedom of rape buttons, pussy grabbers, and fuck you anyway, bitch; freedom of oil and invisible wars, the freedom of suburbs drawn with red lines, the white freedom of Calabasas."

ICE Acting LIke the Gestapo

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) which is supposed to be arresting "illegal aliens" is also arresting US citizens and holding them for months or even years. That shows that ICE personnel are a bunch of racist assholes. Also Trump's campaign is all about "ethnic cleansing" and white supremacy.

Speaking of Trump, who refused to attend the Paralympics because it somehow upsets him. He also refused to attend the Washington Correspondent's dinner because he can't take it, though he like to dish out. Trump is a complete chickenshit but so is everyone who voted for him.
