Award-winning war correspondent Magda Gad has tweeted from Mosul that the war-torn city is safer for women and more peaceful than Sweden’s capital city.
“There’s no law on the Islamic veil here, and it’s safer for a lone woman to be outside than Stockholm,” the war journalist said on Twitter. |
That would be a Breitbart posting, tailor made for you alt right guys. |

Since the name-caller has been in accusation mode for 5 months now, perhaps he could update us on a few of those accusations. Let's start with this one........that Trump and his administration's anti-Semetic views caused the Jewish Center bomb threats. Thank you.

wtf putting a troll like that in charge of civil rights is like putting Matty, NW, Malbaby, jp, my gyb, et al in charge of gas chambers for hitler, or death camps for Pol Pot. Their dream job.
Dept of Ed Hires Anti-Civil Rights Crusader to Protect Student's Nonexistent Civil Rights

| Quote: | Candice Jackson is a victim of oppression.
When she was attending Stanford University in the mid-1990s, a minority calculus tutoring group refused to help her because she was white.
Sure she could probably afford to pay for private tutoring, but it was the point of the thing.
She came from a family where both parents ran medical practices. Her dad, Dr. Rick Jackson, even unsuccessfully ran for Congress. You know – just like black families redlined into the ghetto and struggling to find work because of their African-sounding names.
Why shouldn’t the limited amount of tutoring spaces serve her as well as people from traditionally less privileged backgrounds? White lives matter, ya’ll.
“I am especially disappointed that the University encourages these and other discriminatory programs,” she wrote in the Stanford Review. “We need to allow each person to define his or her own achievements instead of assuming competence or incompetence based on race.”
With that kind of empathy and innate understanding of social justice, I – for one – am overjoyed that U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has hired Jackson to run the department’s Office for Civil Rights. |

That was it Mac, you figured it out. Anyone who would even post such a misleading and ridiculous article should seek help.
The desperate left and their desperate struggle to figure out why their brand is shrinking. You couldn't even win a district last night with millions of dollars and a rabid ground game. And this was a district Trump barely won.
Maybe a good start for demtards would be to stop calling people racist and deplorable. But by all means keep doing what your doing.... |

maybe you didn't get the right wing manual of hate... Rush began his name calling of liberals 30 years ago. And you see it with Oliely, insanity, savage, Ingram, and that is just for starters. Did you hear what the present president calls people, pigs and lucifers low level thinkers...
Notice he does not call people racists or nazis....
But Nazis, Racists, and such well if the shoe fits why not wear it.

From Good.is:
| Quote: | In the immediate aftermath of Trump’s shocking electoral victory, dozens of very confident op-eds crowded the bulk of progressive home pages, claiming to know why it happened and what we (the shocked) had missed. Now, more than five months later, we have the well-regarded 2016 American National Election Study to provide us with some relatively concrete answers.
Released last week, the ANES revealed its findings after questioning roughly 1,200 demographically diverse respondents at length. Thanks to public funding and a nearly 70-year history of conducting quality research, the ANES provides an objective and historical view to counterbalance the welcome—but sometimes distracting—array of opinions proliferating on the internet.
Here’s what the ANES found. According to the data, 2016 defied historical trends, so we’re not all crazy in thinking it was a rough year. One of those trends involves wealthy voters typically choosing the Republican candidate. This election cycle, however, poor, white voters threw unusually enthusiastic support behind Trump, while the rich kept their distance. That may not be the most surprising tidbit, but when it comes to authoritarianism, it appears Trump voters were hardly different than conservatives of decades past. Researchers asked respondents indirectly about authoritarian views to gauge their dispositions (by framing questions in the form of child-rearing ideals), and found this recent batch of conservatives to be no more fearful of chaos and disorder than the rest.
So, what gives? Why did so many people vote for Trump, despite his cavalier attitude toward sexual assault, blatant lies, and obvious ineptitude? According to the data, it largely comes down to race. After controlling for educational, racial, ideological, and age differences among the respondents, it’s easier to tease out the main influence. That influence comes down to racist attitudes for the simple mathematical reason that moving up 25 percentage points on the authoritarian scale only resulted in respondents being 3 percent more likely to vote Trump. Move the same amount on the racism scale, and you see voters are 20 percent more likely to vote for Trump.
While the study did not factor in misogyny’s role in swaying voters, it does provide us some clarity by cutting through the noise of countless possible variables. Recognizing hard core Trump supporters as (likely) more racist than the rest may not be a comfortable truth to face, but having the data brings us one step closer to fixing the problem—a problem we’ve had all along. |
Keep denying it--while making amazingly bigoted comments about Obama, his wife, and all of the black officials he appointed. We know. |
