Must read!----Dinesh D'Souza--LBJ'S Democratic Plantation - American Greatness
LBJ'S Democratic Plantation - American Greatness
The progressive narrative begins by crediting President Lyndon Johnson almost single-handedly for passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
This focus on LBJ is critical because progressives don’t want to admit that proportionately, more Republicans in Congress voted for those laws than Democrats.
The main opposition to the civil rights movement didn’t come from the Republican Party; it came from the Democratic Party.
These inconvenient truths are skipped through a singular focus on LBJ.
Let’s face it. Our ass is in a crack. We’re gonna have to let this nigger bill pass. —Lyndon Johnson to Sen. John Stennis, 1957
The transformation of the Democratic Party from the party of racism and segregation to the party of civil rights is, according to historian Eric Rauchway, the central political arc of the 20th century.
Rauchway is a left-wing historian, and what he means is that it is the central theme of progressive history about the twentieth century.
Yet progressive history has become conventional wisdom, and it is that conventional wisdom I challenge in this article, excerpted from my new book Death of a Nation.

Progressives know that LBJ, in his early career, was a bigot and a segregationist.
He was part of the most racist wing of the Democratic Party.
...The progressives need LBJ, just as they need FDR, if they are to have any heroes at all.
And, boy, has LBJ become a progressive cult hero!
Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists wouldn’t dream of yanking down LBJ statues..."

Shop caught sticking googly eyes on fish to make them look fresh in Kuwait | Metro News
"A fish store in Kuwait has reportedly been shut down by officials after the owners were caught sticking plastic googly eyes on fish in a bid to make them appear fresher.
Hilarious images of one of the unconvincing ‘fresh fish’ were shared on social media by local newspaper Al Bayan.

Pirro to Jeff Sessions: Either Resign Immediately or Put on Your Big Boy Pants and Be a Real Attorney General | Breitbart
Pirro went on to criticize Sessions’ record in the U.S. Senate, what she perceived to be his unwillingness to take on the “deep state,” and noted that his former U.S. Senate colleagues Sens. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) are already predicting Sessions’ departure as attorney general.
“You need to do one of two things,” she added. “You need to resign immediately, because you’re not wanted, or put on your big boy pants and be a real attorney general.”
America doesn’t actually lead the world in mass shootings
America doesn’t actually lead the world in mass shootings
"The claim that the US has by far the most mass public shootings in the world drives much of the gun-control debate.
...Obama’s administration cited a then-unpublished paper by criminologist Adam Lankford.
Lankford’s claim received coverage in hundreds of news stories all over the world.
...Lankford hasn’t released his list of shootings or even the number of cases by country or year.
We and others, both in academia and the media, have asked Lankford for his list, only to be declined. ...A new report from the Crime Prevention Research Center, which one of us heads, has just finished collecting cases using the same definition of mass public shootings used by Lankford.
...Lankford’s data grossly undercount foreign attacks.
We found 1,423 attacks outside the United States.
...Of the 86 countries where we have identified mass public shootings, the US ranks 56th per capita in its rate of attacks and 61st in mass public shooting murder rate.
Norway, Finland, Switzerland and Russia all have at least 45 percent higher rates of murder from mass public shootings than the United States..."

College suppresses study when 1 group goes ‘nuts’
College suppresses study when 1 group goes ‘nuts’
"An explosive new Ivy League university study is being suppressed because it concludes that today’s exceptionally rapid growth in cases of transgenderism among children and teens is very likely a result of “social contagion.”
The Brown University study is titled “Rapid-onset gender dysphoria in adolescents and young adults: A study of parental reports.”
An in-depth report by the Federalist summarizes the study’s conclusion, saying “‘Rapid-onset gender dysphoria’ among teens and young adults may be a social contagion linked with having friends who identify as LGBT, an identity politics peer culture, and an increase in internet use.”
However, the Federalist added, “The study was quickly yanked from Brown’s news releases after a transgender activist feeding frenzy, and the journal it was published in is reconsidering the publication.”..."
