BOLD like a Leopard

Using imaginary definitions like "People of Colour" as a defence mechanism will gain you no respect from enemies, nor the admiration of peers. The racial identity of Wonder Woman lead actress Gal Gadot has sparked a debate totally unrelated to enjoying comic book films. I recently clashed with an author that has been on a warpath. This person seemed intent on defending the honour of one Gal Gadot, an actress now world famous for portraying Wonder Woman who happens to also be a Jewish Israeli. As tends to be the norm nowadays, the hyper-racial far-left press has condemned Gadot as being the idealization of the white European woman whereas Wonder Woman would supposedly be a princess of a non-white Amazonian race. They have also criticized her for being skinny and having shaved armpits . Such is the perception pattern of a society of know-it-alls that have to ruin everything. The author was so perturbed by attacks on Gadot's racial background by intersectional femin...

The men pictured here are not Germans, but Hungarians of the Arrow Cross Party, yet they shared the same goal. Our goal should be to show that we've moved beyond them. After 72 years it's time we the Jewish people acknowledged the rest of our heritage, and not just the Holocaust. This morning I saw a Facebook post from my best friend from my Israeli Army service, and it was a rant about how the media there in Israel focuses obsessively on the personality of Adolf Hitler and on the sheer madness that allowed him to pull the wool over the eyes of the German people. He disputed that, claiming that in truth the German people had been intrinsically anti-Jewish irrespective of Hitler. To me it was a surreal experience to discover that today is Holocaust Memorial Day (as it is observed in Israel), but it completely slipped my attention. As a person that went to a Jewish middle school and lived in two different households that were Jewish (though vastly different in ou...

Even if you dislike Donald Trump's policies, maybe it would do some good to acknowledge that perhaps the reason he's smirking is because he's a couple steps ahead in his plan (Velocify). Those of you that think that this defeat on the ridiculous Trumpcare/Ryancare bill is a loss for Donald Trump should think again. Everything that's happening on the surface is superficial nonsense. Note these facts: By trotting Paul Ryan out to support the bill and become even more wrapped in the stakes of its success, Trump has succeeded in having the failure attributed to the House Speaker among both his conservative supporters and the libertarians of the bill. Those smart enough to know the difference should still attribute the blame to Trump as much as Ryan, but strategically it was a bold move. I am coming to believe that his days are numbered as speaker. Trump's stunt of telling viewers to watch Jeanine Pirro the day she called for Ryan's resignation shows ...

HOW TO WIN THE OPEN BORDERS ARGUMENT EVEN AGAINST EMOTIONAL PEOPLE The Trail of Tears was a horrible crime perpetrated by the US government under Pres. Andrew Jackson, but it's also the worst example to use in order to justify open borders. In fact it's the best reason to treat that idea as the idiotic pipe dream that it is. (Pinterest) Last week I had a long and heated exchange with an impassioned young Navajo lady concerning open borders. She was making a superficially plausible argument that like US-born Native Americans people from Mexico are descendants of the First Nations, and that the REAL "illegal aliens" were white Americans that came here uninvited and stole their land. Let me make one thing clear: I support returning more sovereignty to the Indian reservations. The current arrangement deprives them of real actionable political clout. I've also supported campaigns against Indian mascots (although not court cases) as well as th...

After an unnecessarily long primary process, the DNC selected a chair last week.  Rather than resolve the party's turmoil the compromise  between DNC Chair race winner Tom Perez and Rep. Keith Ellison may have led to even more turmoil. (Oklahoma Democrats) To begin with the race was mostly a farce and was largely between the open establishment candidate Tom Perez, former Obama Labour Secretary, vs. Rep. Keith Ellison (Minn.), a radical left so-called alternative, more known for his Muslim faith than for the fact that otherwise his views largely overlap with Perez's.  They had a process that was as self-punishing as one Mao's party meetings, and with the transparency of a Goldman Sachs meeting. The process included a collection of pathetic ne'er-do-wells: Jehmu Greene  - a former Clinton/Gore campaign worker, Rock the Vote president, and North Carolina Dem operative, Greene would pretty much be Donna Brazile 2.0. Why do I say that? It's...

Here's are all the cases you need to see to prove that the Democrats have never cared about a free media, and they haven't started now. And by the way, neither have the GOP or the media themselves.  In the past few days media outlets, in particular CNN and the alphabet networks ABC, CBS, and NBC have all started jiving up a claim that there is a government war on the free media led by President Donald Trump. Are they correct? Well, technically Trump has gone on the offensive by directly criticizing media outlets like CNN and the BBC. However,what they were wrong about is that these hostile STATEMENTS are nothing new; previous presidents have attacked the media. In fact, many of these media outlets started a new trend during the 2016 election of attacking other outlets that they've called "fake news". While they may be correct in some cases, the statement has opened them up to a backlash over their own fat fingered coverage of a number of stories. One of the mo...

Razor blade handshakes:  How our president spent eight years squandering overwhelming credibility by pushing ideas that no one is interested in. This photo of Vladimir Putin passive aggressively throwing  shade  on  Barack Obama epitomizes their 8 years of back  and forth (ABC News). It's not easy to assess the record of Barack Obama over eight years in foreign policy and find an area where American relations with other countries have gotten better. It's a result that was counter-intuitive; as Senator Obama he traveled the Middle East visiting Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine, and Israel. He also visited South Africa, Djibouti, his father's native Kenya, Ethiopia, and Chad in 2006. Yet despite his ambitious travel schedule, part of his effort to build up his image as a person that has foreign policy vision, already was angering people when he glibly criticized corruption in Kenya. Did Obama's past record having lived in Indonesia for part of h...
