The Alabama Race was all about #BlackWomen and #DaHWhiteMan?

Let's be clear, even though I've shared this over and over again: I was not a Roy Moore supporter, I don't live in Alabama anyway, and I'm not proclaiming him to be innocent but rather innocent until proven guilty. I also think that he was out of his mind with many of his campaign statements, his handling of his media appearances was incompetent to a fault, and he failed to promote his message beyond his traditional support base of hardcore conservative Christians. In short, Roy Moore deserved to lose, and that's leaving aside the ridiculous smear campaign that was waged against him based on allegations that were 40 years old that ironically surfaced a month within a special election caused by a vacancy due to a presidential appointment.

Yet last night, instead of acknowledging that Roy Moore's personal vulnerabilities torpedoed his campaign, Twitter users started attributing his defeat to a certain sector of the population that they call #BlackWomen. Case in point, DNC chair Tom Perez:

Here is CNN commentator, gay rights activist, and Columbia U faculty Keith Boykin:
That's odd? Not only does this man attack "Da HWhite Man", but also women. Now, I don't see how this is in any way relevant to a race where two HWhite men ran. After all, let's take a look at the photos of those candidates.

Now those are some pretty HWhite guys. Also weighing in is noted TYT contributor and erstwhile HWhite man Shaun King:

I wonder where Shaun King is on the HWhite supremacist spectrum given that he takes money from The Young Turks and the New York Daily News and from clueless donors to his defunct social activism platform "Justice Together".

So I'll use my remaining time right now to tell you what according to the media and all of these friggin' geniuses was NOT the subject of the race:

  • The future of American healthcare.
  • Reform of American drug laws.
  • Addressing the power and wealth of the American military industrial complex.
  • Promoting reconciliation between the races.
  • Helping eliminate the national debt.
  • Attracting more jobs to Alabama.
  • The Mueller probe and who will be sitting in on the hearings.
  • Whether suspects are presumed innocent before standing trial for an allegation.
Maybe I'm wrong and they did think those things were issues, but I'd like to know why they spent the hours after the election only talking about #BlackWomen and #DaHWhiteMan.

Did the "Dancing Israeli" theorists actually read the FBI file?

A few months ago a friend of mine, like myself Jewish, suggested to me that there would be forthcoming indictments of Israeli agents for involvement in the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He was convinced that documents slated for declassification would shine a light on an operation by Israel's Mossad that had either prior knowledge or involvement in the plot.  I would be remiss if I did not admit that for years controversial historical events, what are popularly panned as "conspiracy theories", are a topic that has fascinated me. But I've always had a blind spot for the 9/11 theories mostly because there were so many of them, and it is difficult to distinguish serious questions from spaced out hyperbolic speculation. And sure, I'll also admit that the idea that there could have been a nefarious plot to topple the Twin Towers and pull the USA into wars in the Middle East made me uncomfortable. After all, my own family hails f...

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Anti-Semitism Canard

House Intelligence Committee counsel Daniel Goldman with committee chair Adam Schiff during the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump's communications with Ukraine. ( Ha'aretz ) The so-called Jewish "leadership" has scuttled American Jews' future Recently my aunt, who is almost 70 years old, told us that the current climate is the most anti-Semitic that she's seen in the USA having lived here her entire life. But I had to struggle to keep myself from saying how surprised I was that it wasn't worse. And I'm not the only one as a friend, like myself also Jewish, has observed the House impeachment hearings and said to me "this is bad for the Jews" for weeks on end. He says this because a glaringly prominent selection of people, from the heads of the committees (Adam Schiff and Jerrold Nadler), to their majority counsels (Norm Eisen and Daniel Goldman), to the witnesses (Gordon Sondland, Alexander Vindman), to the experts (Pamela Karlan...

Tired of getting hit by the Mission boomerang yet?

Electoral failings have led liberals as a whole, and most Jewish Americans, to recalibrate beliefs in the name of a cynical political cause. Recovering them will be painful, if not impossible. Many like me that grew up in the 1990s remember that there were battles over obscenity laws relating to gangsta' rap, blasphemous films like Kevin Smith's Dogma , and banned book lists. Nowadays those cultural battles by social conservatives have largely been shifted to the back-burner, while admittedly social mores have degraded to the point where unabashed "Liberals" like Michael Strahan and Sarah Haines host child sex performers on their shows without batting an eye. It is cases like this that show there is a major divergence between social and cultural big L "Liberals" and intellectual liberalism. Traditionally liberalism stresses that stricter government suppression of social freedom only drives transgressors into the shadows and promotes deviant abuses of i...
