VIDEO: Mayor Cries After Councilwoman Refuses to Acknowledge "White Privilge"

They always resort to emotions because their positions don't make any sense.

In an October 3, 2017,  it all started when, at a  New Brighton, Minnesota city council meeting, Councilwoman Mary Burg lectured her fellow council members on why they should feel guilty for being white.

Councilwoman Gina Bauman responded by stating that she was a child of immigrants and had to work hard for what she had.

“Because I’m white, you think I was privileged my whole life? Are you kidding?” Bauman retorts. “I grew up in an Italian neighborhood. They came here – my grandfather came – they didn’t speak English, but they assimilated.”

Then the Mayor of  New Brighton, Val Johnson, breaks down into tears after Bauman refuses to acknowledge her “white privilege.”

Why Did Trump Slur His Words Today? Is He Being Drugged?

President Trump slurred his words at the end of his speech announcing Jerusalem as the new home of the U.S. embassy in Israel.

The slurring was most evident toward the end of his speech especially when he said: "United States."

All kinds of theories immediately hit Twitter, including that he has dentures end they slipped, that he has new dentures and most interesting that he is being drugged.

Remember, back in September I reported that Alex Jones said he was being drugged and slurring his words: ALEX JONES CLAIM: Trump Being Drugged.

(via The Los Angeles Times)

The White House said President Trump’s slurred speech at the end of his announcement about Jerusalem was no more than a case of dry mouth.

“His throat was dry. There’s nothing to it,” White House spokesman Raj Shah said when asked to explain why President Trump garbled “God bless the United States” at the end of his remarks on Wednesday recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and announcing plans to build a U.S. Embassy in the disputed city.

Pressed on whether the slurred words might indicate any health concerns, Shah said: “I know what you’re getting at. I’m saying there’s nothing to it.”

DONE: Trump Announces the US Recognizes Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel



MADNESS.

President Trump announces that the US will recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and he has ordered that the US embassy be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

There is no reason to provoke Muslims like this.

This land is of very major religious significance to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The Muslims will consider this a major affront and, most significant, it is a stab at the potential for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine--moving Israel into an even greater power position. It will enrage Muslims. It is done for no good reason from the perspective of national security for the United States. It will heighten tensions. It is realpolitik idiocy.

Why Jerusalem is significant for Muslims:
Jerusalem served as the first qibla (direction of prayer) for Muslims. 
Jerusalem is considered a sacred site in Islamic tradition, along with Mecca and Medina. Islamic tradition holds that previous prophets were associated with the city, and that the Islamic prophet Muhammad visited the city on a nocturnal journey (Isra and Mi'raj). Due to such significance, it was the first Qibla for Muslims and the prophet Muhammad designated the Al-Aqsa for pilgrimage.
Early mosques in Medina were built to face Jerusalem. 

Part of Jerusalem's significance and holiness to Muslims derives from its strong association with Abraham, David, Solomon, and Jesus. They are all regarded as Prophets of Islam and their stories are mentioned in the Qur'an.

After Muhammad, many of his Companions lived in Jerusalem, and upon their death they were buried there.

What to do About the Anti-Logic Movement



It is best that we, as libertarians, classify under one umbrella the cultural Marxists, the postmodernists, the intersectionality theorists, Antifa and the black bloc anarchists because they all have at their core one important thing in common, an unwillingness to debate and think in logical fashion.

For them, and I will call them under the umbrella term, The Anti-Logic Movement, it is all about various class identity struggles. They see truth as relative and reject the idea of a formal logic that exists for all classes.

How can one debate with such people, when they reject absolute truth and only think in terms of the illogical notion of class truth?

It is best, perhaps, to just leave them alone in their twisted class-conscious world and not interact with them in any important matter and be very careful with them in any type of structural setting in a corporation or a bureaucracy, because from their class dominated thought and anti-logic perspective, they are all about gaining power against those they see as an oppressive class, and they are very keen on using civil structures to gain power and smash what they see as the oppressive classes. And since they do not see the potential for debate and the ironing out of differences but only oppressive classes, for them it is always about gaining power. Put simply, they are trouble.

With the white male class, of course, being recognized as the premier target/oppressor.

I don't see how we can talk sense into these people. It is best to stay away from them and just let them howl, but when we have the opportunity to prevent them from gaining any type of power slot, be it in the corporate world or in a public organization, we should do so because while we will be decent and fair with them, they will have no such leaning toward us and will attempt to oppress us by any means possible when they gain any power slot.

Harvard’s Illiberal and Intolerant Prejudice Against Blacklisted Male Clubs



By Michael S. Rozeff

Harvard College has had private, undergraduate, male-only clubs for a very long time. The Porcellian Club, the oldest club, dates from 1791. Harvard can’t legally force the clubs to admit particular kinds of members, arranged by gender, sex, race, or other attributes. Instead, Harvard has found a stick to beat the clubs with, and that stick is to discriminate against members of clubs that it calls “unrecognized single-gender social organizations (USGSOs)”.
“Starting with Harvard’s Class of 2021, undergraduate members of unrecognized single-gender social organizations will be banned from

BREAKING Trump to Recognize Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel



President Trump told Israeli and Arab leaders on Tuesday that he plans to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, reports The New York Times.

This is another dumbass move by Trump that will do nothing but heighten tensions in the Middle East and create more hatred of America in the Middle East.

NYT adds:
Mr. Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital — and to set in motion an embassy move — is his riskiest foray yet into the thicket of Middle East diplomacy. Arab and European leaders warn that it could derail any peace initiative and even ignite fresh violence in the region.
 The Palestinians hope to make East Jerusalem the capital of a Palestinian state, and the city is of great religious significance to Jews, Christians and Muslims...

King Abdullah II strongly cautioned against the move, “stressing that Jerusalem is the key to achieving peace and stability in the region and the world,” according to a statement from the royal palace in Amman.

“King Abdullah stressed that the adoption of this resolution will have serious implications for security and stability in the Middle East, and will undermine the efforts of the American administration to resume the peace process and fuel the feelings of Muslims and Christians,” the statement said...

“It’s very serious,” said PLO spokesman, Xavier Abu Eid. “Things look very bad.”

It is expected Trump will formally announce his decision on Wednesday.

Today the Supreme Court Will Hear Whether a Baker Has the First Amendment Right to Refuse to Bake a Cake for a Gay Couple


Today, the Supreme Court will consider whether Colorado may deny Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, the right to sell custom wedding cakes because he cannot in conscience create them for same-sex weddings. Phillips, who has run his bakery since 1993, sells off-the-shelf items to anyone, no questions asked. But he does not deploy his artistic skills to create cakes celebrating themes that violate his religious and moral convictions. Thus he does not design cakes for divorce parties, lewd bachelor parties, Halloween parties or same-sex weddings.

Colorado’s order that he create same-sex wedding cakes (or quit making any cakes at all) would force him to create expressive products carrying a message he rejects.

Why is Alan Dershowitz Supporting Donald Trump Against the Special Prosecutor?



A Target Liberty reader emails:
Robert, I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Dershowitz has curiously turned. He was implicated in the Epstein Lolita Express/Orgy Island mess. Since then he is being very apologetic towards those who could arrest him at a moment's notice. I just wonder if he is trying to stay out of the pokey and burnish his reputation by brown nosing people in power.

RW response:

To question the motives behind Dershowitz's defense of Trump against the special prosecutor is an ad hominem fallacy.

I don't care what his motives are, I am looking at the soundness of his argument and it looks pretty sound to me. And my comment comes as someone who is not a supporter of President Trump nor have I ever flown on the Lolita Express.

But further, to put the attack against Dershowitz under the microscope, it is difficult for me to see how he's going after the top lawyers in the Justice Department, which is  the special prosecutor's team, is "brown nosing people in power." He is going after very powerful people.

I haven't studied Dershowitz's career in detail but a cursory following of his career suggests that he talks principles. To be sure, he does take high paying cases and defends his clients using the best of his skills, but isn't that what we expect from our lawyers in the present system?

Congressmen to Hold Press Conference Demanding Investigation on FBI’s “Special” Treatment of Hillary Clinton



On Wednesday, Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01),Congressmen Jim Jordan (OH-04), Mark Meadows (NC-11), Trent Franks (AZ-08), Ron DeSantis (FL-06), Ted Yoho (FL-03), Scott Perry (PA-04), Jody Hice (GA-10), Andy Biggs (AZ-05), and Louie Gohmert (TX-01), will hold a press conference, demanding answers to questions they have raised about FBI’s treatment of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Donald Trump during the 2016 election cycle.

In advance of the December 7th testimony of FBI Director Christopher Wray before the House Judiciary Committee, the Congressmen are specifically calling for information about former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s statement that the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s misuse of a personal email server was “referred to as ‘special’” and that “the decision was made to investigate it at HQ with a small team.” Earlier last week, Reps. Gaetz, Gohmert, and Biggs sent a letter to Director Wray, asking for an investigation to be launched into the FBI’s treatment of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during their e-mail investigation.

The FBI's Perjury Trap Of The Century



By David Stockman

If you were a Martian visitor just disembarked from of one of Elon Musk's rocket ships and were therefore uninfected by earth-based fake news, the culprits in Washington's witch-hunt de jure would be damn obvious.
They include John Brennan, Jim Comey, Sally Yates, Peter Strzok and a passel of deep state operatives----all of whom baldly abused their offices. After Brennan had concocted the whole Russian election meddling meme to sully the Donald's shocking election win, the latter three holdovers----functioning as a political fifth column in the new Administration----set a perjury trap designed to snare Mike Flynn as a first step in relitigating and reversing the voters' verdict.
The smoking gun on their guilt is so flamingly obvious that the ability of the Trump-hating media to ignore it is itself a wonder to behold.
After all, anyone fresh off Elon's rocket ship would learn upon even cursory investigation of the matter that
