Waiting 60 min 31sec makes it impossible for you to modify your posts. Have a nice day. :-) The second paragraph of the United States Declaration of Independence starts as follows: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. |

TRUTH https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/03/magazine/FBI-charlottesville-white-nationalism-far-right.html White supremacists and other far-right extremists have killed far more people since Sept. 11, 2001, than any other category of domestic extremist. The Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism has reported that 71 percent of the extremist-related fatalities in the United States between 2008 and 2017 were committed by members of the far right or white-supremacist movements. Islamic extremists were responsible for just 26 percent. Clyde I thought you said it was antifa? Data compiled by the University of Maryland’s Global Terrorism Database shows that the number of terror-related incidents has more than tripled in the United States since 2013, and the number of those killed has quadrupled. In 2017, there were 65 incidents totaling 95 deaths. In a recent analysis of the data by the news site Quartz, roughly 60 percent of those incidents were driven by racist, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic, antigovernment or other right-wing ideologies. Clyde I thought you said it was antifa? Left-wing ideologies, like radical environmentalism, were responsible for 11 attacks. Muslim extremists committed just seven attacks. You don't know where you are, you can't pick the road to your destination. “We’re actually seeing all the same phenomena of what was happening with groups like ISIS, same tactics, but no one talks about it because it’s far-right extremism,†says the national-security strategist P. W. Singer, a senior fellow at the New America think tank. During the first year of the Trump administration, Singer and several other analysts met with a group of senior administration officials about building a counterterrorism strategy that encompassed a wider range of threats. “They only wanted to talk about Muslim extremism,†he says. But even before the Trump administration, he says, “we willingly turned the other way on white supremacy because there were real political costs to talking about white supremacy.†When you deceive yourself ... In March 2018, a 20-year-old white evangelical Christian named Mark Anthony Conditt laid a series of homemade I.E.D.s around Austin, Tex., in largely minority communities. The bombs killed two African-Americans and injured at least four others over the course of several weeks, terrorizing the city, yet the local authorities preferred to describe Conditt, who committed suicide, as a “very challenged young man.†Also last spring, another white man, 28-year-old Benjamin Morrow, blew himself up in his apartment in Beaver Dam, Wis., while apparently constructing a bomb. Federal investigators said Morrow’s apartment doubled as a “homemade explosives laboratory.†There was a trove of white-supremacist literature in Morrow’s home, according to the F.B.I. But local cops, citing Morrow’s clean-cut demeanor and standout record as a quality-control manager at a local food-processing plant, made sure to note that just because he had this material didn’t mean he was a white supremacist. “He could have been an individual that was doing research,†the local police chief said. “This is what public demonstration looks like in an era when white nationalism isn’t on the fringes, but on the inside of the political mainstream,†says Brian Levin, a former New York City police officer who now leads the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University-San Bernardino. Law enforcement’s inability to reckon with the far right is a problem that goes back generations in this country, and the roots of this current crisis can be traced back more than a decade.At least Clyde said something about the KKK. In March 2009, Johnson says he and a few colleagues from the F.B.I. briefed Napolitano on their findings, theorizing that heightened stress because of the continuing financial crisis, coupled with the election of the first black president, created a “unique driver†for individual radicalization and antigovernment and white-supremacist recruitment. We get it, white privilege forever! |

It's basically a given these days that no one lighter than paper bag will ever be called a "terrorist" whereas anyone darker than one, especially with a Middle Eastern name, will be labeled as such sometimes as soon as the story has broken. I've come to the conclusion that this is due to the fact that if someone is labeled a terrorist, law enforcement must then investigate their "network" ie who or what radicalized them, who put them up to the act, who else they may know in the same clique. And in the case of white nationalists/supremacists, there may be some people who don't want this investigated. |

As you don't like either party, why are you doing security at a voting booth tomorrow? Pay good is it? |

Hmm, answering a question that wasn't asked. Not bad. Pay good is it? |

Divided Government is, in the long run, very good.Divided Government in the US? I thought the US Government is now all Republican. But that the Congress and the Senate is divided according to how US voters voted. |

Ah, knew money was involved. :-) Does wearing a gun & badge for the day also enter the picture? |

It's a bit simpler here having a only a government with ministers and a parlaiment. The Swedish people choose who to sit in the parliament in regular elections. The Riksdag (parliament) then chooses the Prime Minister on a proposal from the Speaker of the parliament. The Prime Minister then appoints the ministers in the government. Well perhaps not this year. We voted about two months ago and we still doesn't have a new Government :) |

So much for the negatives regarding Trump's Constitutional election.You mean that Hillary lost the presidential election because of the Electoral College voting and not by popular voting? The idea of an Electoral College is very strange to me. Whatever. Isn't that procedure only when voting for a president and not in a midterm election? |

As I have said. Think of the USA as the EU on steroids. With the Federal Component having total Authority over Foreign policy, not the States. This is what many foreigners do not understand and leads to confusion regarding how the USA operates internally.But they were certainly on some sort of drug induced psychosis when they made their last decision wern't they? |

Finally, the American elections will be over tomorrow. Except it will not. Not all states have the result called by a simple majority. Some places have all postal votes, where the deadline for voting is for that the postmark must be no later than voting day. Some states don't hold primaries and all candidates are in the pot on voting day, if none of the candidates gets over 50% then top two have a run off later. In a least one state that is in December. Plus add in the close results, chads, malfunctioning (or hacked) voting systems. We might know the result by Christmas, if we're lucky. |

Trump tweet this morning. Received so many Congratulations from so many on our Big Victory last night, including from foreign nations (friends) that were waiting me out, and hoping, on Trade Deals.Which foreign nations (friends)? Big Victory? Losing the House but retained control of the Senate... Oh. Trump just clarified. To any of the pundits or talking heads that do not give us proper credit for this great Midterm Election, just remember two words - FAKE NEWS!LOL:) |
