Media Silence Surrounds Muslim Massacre of Christians | Breitbart

Media Silence Surrounds Muslim Massacre of Christians | Breitbart:

“The hypocrisy on display is astounding,” the pastors continued. “Christianity is the dominant religion of our country. It is the foundation of our government and morality. And yet, Christians are treated as fair game for mockery and insult.”
Christians are by far the most persecuted religious group in the world, but the mainstream media routinely ignore this fact as if it were unimportant or uninteresting. As a result, many people do not even realize how widespread the persecution is or that 75 percent of the victims of religious persecution around the world are Christians.
Whatever the reason — or reasons — for the media silence surrounding the most recent massacres of Christians in Nigeria as well as numerous other such events, it should give right-thinking people pause.
By all means, the lethal shootings of dozens of Muslims in New Zealand is a massive story and merits extensive coverage. But it only stands to reason that similar coverage should be devoted to the slaughter of Christians.

UMD student gov votes to create full-time 'undocumented student coordinator' role

• A temporary "undocumented student coordinator" position at the University of Maryland may just become permanent, if the student government has its way.
• The coordinator isn't the only position offered by the school for illegal alien students.

In a unanimous vote, the University of Maryland’s student government voted to create a permanent, full-time position to help illegal immigrant students.

• “Address the immediate needs of the undocumented student population"   

...UMD is not the only university that has provided resources or created coordinator positions for illegal immigrant students. 
Other institutions such as Georgetown University, the University of California, Loyola University of Chicago, and DePaul University have taken similar steps to protect illegal immigrant students..."

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro pulled off air following comments on Rep. Ilhan Omar - ABC News
"...Omar, along with Rep. Rashida Tlaib, became the first Muslim women ever elected to Congress last November.
"Think about it: Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Quran, 33:59, tells women to cover so they won't get molested," Pirro said on her show last week. 
"Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?"

Fox News reacted to Pirro's on-air comments on Monday, releasing a statement: "We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar. They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly."..."

"So what happened in 2015 and 2016 to cause the violent crime rate, including the homicide rate, to rise after decades of decline?
I can’t think of any explanation other than the Black Lives Matter movement and the relentless attacks on law enforcement that it engendered, which were supported by the Obama administration. 
But what happened when Donald Trump took over in the White House?
The homicide and violent crime rates began to fall again.
If the New York Times’s projection is correct, the second year of the Trump administration saw a steeper decline in the homicide rate."....

Judge: U.C. Berkeley must answer for anarchist attacks - WND

Judge: U.C. Berkeley must answer for anarchist attacks - WND:

A federal judge has decided that the University of California at Berkeley must respond to a lawsuit over anarchist attacks on campus when a conservative speaker, Milo Yiannopoulos, was scheduled to appear.
Visitors on campus to hear him were caught up in the riots carried out by anarchists, prompting a damage complaint on behalf of John Jennings and others against the president of the University of California system, Janet Napolitano, and others.
Freedom X Law said Wednesday its complaint is moving forward.
“After two years of legal wrangling, including two motions filed by the University of California, Berkeley, to dismiss a lawsuit targeting the university for allowing anarchist demonstrators to viciously attack visitors to the campus attending a conservative event there, a federal district judge in Oakland, California has decided that injured victims of the attacks can proceed with their lawsuit,” the organization announced.
Shortly after the election of President Trump, anarchists and other leftists planned to riot when they learned that Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak on the campus.

...In a free society, people earn income by serving their fellow man.
Here's an example: I mow your lawn, and you pay me $40. Then I go to my grocer and demand two six-packs of beer and 3 pounds of steak.
In effect, the grocer says, "Williams, you are asking your fellow man to serve you by giving you beer and steak.
What did you do to serve your fellow man?" 
My response is, "I mowed his lawn." The grocer says, "Prove it."
That's when I produce the $40.
We can think of the, say, two $20 bills as certificates of performance — proof that I served my fellow man.
A system that requires that one serve his fellow man to have a claim on what he produces is far more moral than a system without such a requirement.
For example, Congress can tell me, "Williams, you don't have to get out in that hot sun to mow a lawn to have a claim on what your fellow man produces.
Just vote for me, and through the tax code, I will take some of what your fellow man produces and give it to you."...

NEWSWORTHY: Media Silence Surrounds Muslim Massacre of Christians

Instapundit  Blog Archive  
"NEWSWORTHY: The ghastly massacre in Christchurch this week is certainly newsworthy and richly deserving of the universal condemnation it is getting. 
But let’s also spare a thought for the massacre of over a hundred Christians at the hands of Muslim militants in Nigeria these past few weeks. 
So far it has been ignored in the MSM.

P.S.: It’s more evidence for my study (with Hal Pashler) showing that one’s political views tend to bias one’s judgment about what is newsworthy. 
Yes, I know that should be obvious, but you might be surprised at the extent to which journalists argue that their own views do not bias their reporting.---Posted by Gail Heriot

Chicago To Shutdown Composting Business Because Regulations Don't Cover Worms - Slashdot

Chicago To Shutdown Composting Business Because Regulations Don't Cover Worms - Slashdot
schwit1 shared an article from Reason's "Volokh Conspiracy" blog:
Nature's Little Recyclers is a father-son business that does composting on empty residential lots, transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich soil. Last year, the business's worms processed 10 tons of banana peels and cups from the Chicago Marathon that would otherwise have gone to a landfill. But Chicago officials are going to shut the business down -- and not because the city doesn't think composting is a good thing (the city's sustainability website directs people to Nature's Little Recyclers). Rather, the city's business and zoning regulations weren't designed to accommodate small and innovative operations like Nature's Little Recyclers.
"None of these operations met the criteria for garden composting or an on-site organic waste composting operation," said Anel Ruiz, spokesperson for the Department of Public Health, in a statement to Block Club Chicago, adding "Further, these sites are not properly zoned for commercial composting."

But another perspective was shared by lawyer Amy Hermalik, associate director of the Institute for Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship at the University of Chicago. 
"The city will unofficially imply there's wiggle room, saying it only enforces certain ordinances against 'bad operators,' but that leaves businesses subject to shifting political winds or personal whims, Hermalik said. 
'They [the city] have an incredible amount of power to do as they please.'"

Supreme Court Broadens Scope of Census Citizenship Question Case

Supreme Court Broadens Scope of Census Citizenship Question Case:

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday broadened the scope of what it will consider in resolving the legal fight over the contentious decision by President Donald Trump’s administration to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, agreeing also to decide whether the move violated the U.S. Constitution.
In the aftermath of a March 6 ruling by a federal judge in California, the high court said it will decide whether Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross ran afoul of the Constitution’s so-called Enumeration Clause, which sets out the terms under which people should be counted in the census, when he added the citizenship question in March 2018.

We Fight Now or the Socialists Win:

The Democratic Party is no longer a political party; it has become a religion.  Its acolytes practice politics with every bit of the religious fervor of Islamic militants throwing a gay man off the roof of a ten-story building because Sharia tells them it’s what he deserves.  Make no mistake, every day, our new socialists fight for the right to do the same to us.

Fat models on magazine covers - we're being prepared for the "hungering." - Bookworm Room

Fat models on magazine covers - we're being prepared for the "hungering." - Bookworm Room
"A tongue-in-cheek look at what it means that Leftists want low production farming (no pesticides, no GMO, etc.) and have a new reverence for fat models.
The elite always casts itself in opposition to the hoi polloi. 

It has done so since time immemorial.
In prehistoric times, back about 25,000 years ago, when starvation was the norm, the most revered female figures were fat, really, really fat, as you can see from these pictures of several Paleolithic Venuses. 

Similar ones can be found all over Europe and most ancient cultures have little fat feminine figures that were obviously meant for worship or luck...

...The Middle Ages were famous for (among other things), their sumptuary laws, the sole purpose of which was to use the power of the state to ensure that peasants didn’t look like aristocrats.
...One of the most interesting transformations in class distinctions came about with the rise of office girls. 
When poor people worked in the fields and people of stature didn’t work at all, the apex of feminine beauty was lily-white skin, a trend that lasted even as the lowest of low classes left the fields for 80 hour weeks in factories.
The factory workers’ pallor was so unhealthy it could never be mistaken for the pearlescent glow of the idle rich.
Things changed, though, when young women left dusty, unhealthy factories and moved into offices. Suddenly, they too had white complexions.
And because they were earning decent money, they could afford clothes that, at least from a distance, aped their “betters.”
So what happened?
The rich suddenly discovered sun bathing 
...The way I see it (and I’ll just remind you that I’m being tongue-in-cheek here), we’re being prepared for another division between the elite and the rest of us. 
...I call it the hungering. 
This hungering will end up with ordinary people in America being very skinny.
So if the riffraff are skinny, what will the next generation of models look like?
...To say that the above young women are reminiscent of the Paleolithic Venuses is not meant to be fat shaming, because I’m not making any judgment about their health, beauty, sexual desirability, or anything else.
It’s just a statement — and a reminder that the elite always likes to keep itself separate from the rest of us.
My prediction for the future is that we little people will get the hungering, while the elite will flaunt the super fat models.
