Race Card

Michael Eric Dyson, liberal ‘View’ hosts say Trump’s mention of ‘Gone with the Wind’ was racially motivated

Liberal commentator Michael Eric Dyson attacked President Trump on Friday, arguing that he was racist for pushing for a return of “Gone with the Wind” and criticizing the movie “Parasite.” “The View” showed a clip of Trump arguing at a Colorado rally Thursday that “Parasite” shouldn’t have received an Academy Award. He also panned the choice of a South Korean film for best picture. “What the hell was that all about?” Trump asked. He added: “Can we get like ‘Gone with the Wind’ back, please?” “Yeah, let’s get ‘Birth of the Nation’ back because we don’t have enough of that kind of kowtowing and cooning,” Dyson said, referring to a movie that’s long considered to be racist. “The View” then muted the comments that followed and it’s unclear what exactly he said. Co-host Sunny Hostin took issue with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan, arguing that Trump thought America was great in 1939 when “Gone with the Wind” was released. Dyson added that the movie was about “subordinating black people to white folk.” “Let’s bring back the Civil War, let’s bring back slavery,” said co-host Ana Navarro, speaking on how she believes Trump feels about the film. “Gone with the Wind” has come under fire for its depiction of slavery and African Americans. In 2017, a historic theater in Memphis, Tenn., which had shown “Gone With the Wind” screenings for decades, decided to remove the classic film from its schedule due to its racially “insensitive” content. At the time, Orpheum Theater President Batterson explained the decision by saying , “As an organization whose stated mission is to ‘entertain, educate and enlighten the communities it serves,’ the Orpheum cannot show a film that is insensitive to a large segment of its local population.” The wife of late “Gone With the Wind” actor Fred Crane was outraged over the theater’s decision to ban the film. “By making a statement, they are trying to make a problem,” Terry Lynne Crane told Fox News at the time. “They are inciting racial division and it’s only escalating.”

Exactly right, Ma’am.  This is just another pathetic, disingenuous attempt to label Trump a racist.  It’s the standard Democrat talking point that they push over and over.  Trump liked the movie ‘Gone with the Wind;’ a movie that won TEN academy awards and is considered one of the greatest classic movies of all time.  So what?  It’s a great movie!   That’s all Trump was saying when he disagreed with ‘Parasite’ winning an Oscar.  That’s all   But, because the setting of the movie was during the Civil War when yes, blacks were slaves in the DEMOCRAT south, these self-righteous, sanctimonious, liberal elitists jumped at the opportunity to call Trump a racist.  Then, to make matters worse, you have these brain surgeons on The View suggesting that Trump, in an election year no less, actually intended to make a racist comment.  In other words, he consciously tried to be offensive to a large voting segment in an election year.  Yeah, Michael and Sunny, that’s what he intended…morons.  This is self-serving, agenda driven nonsense gone crazy.  And this is why more and more people are turning away from these race hustlers on the left.

Analysis: Rooting Out Systemic Racism and White Supremacy

It’s axiomatic among progressives and the mainstream media that the country is awash in racism and white supremacy. The entertainment industry is obsessed with racism/white supremacy. So too is the educational establishment. More than a half century after passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, racism and white supremacy apparently permeate every corner of the country. Indeed, according to the New York Times’ 1619 Project, racism is in the very DNA of America. So virulent and widespread is racism and white supremacy today that Democratic presidential candidates call for “rooting out” the plague every chance they get. Speaking at a recent event hosted by Al Sharpton, former Vice President Joe Biden said: “We have a lot to root out, but most of all the systemic racism that most of us whites don’t like to acknowledge even exists. There’s something we have to admit — not you, me, white America — has to admit there’s still a systemic racism.” Biden wasn’t asked why he seemingly hadn’t made a dent in rooting out systemic racism in his 36 years as a senator or eight years as Barack Obama’s VP. After all, he has been a member in good standing of The System for a long time. Elizabeth Warren also wants to root out systemic racism: “We must recognize the systemic discrimination that infects our country, and we must work actively — and deliberately — to root it out and set us on a better path.” Racism is everywhere, affects everything. Warren maintains that “race has totally permeated our justice system” and “our crisis of environmental injustice is the result of decades of discrimination and environmental racism.” Given that racism permeates nearly every facet of society, even the environment, it’s impressive that Warren willingly subjected herself to the scourge by claiming she’s Native American. Pete Buttigieg maintains that “We are by no means even half way done dealing with systemic racism in this country.” He asserts that “systemic racism and white supremacy in particular…is the force that is most likely to destroy America.” His website proposes “a comprehensive and intentional dismantling of racist structures and systems.” What, specifically, are these racist structures and systems? How about a few concrete examples supported by evidence? No one in the media seems the least bit interested in asking. It’s simply taken as given that whole institutions, structures, and systems in this country are racist and white supremacist. Asking for examples is, itself, racist. Or, at the very least, an embarrassing demonstration of terminal unwokeness. Racial disparities are presumptively equated with disparate treatment. Racism and white supremacy became particularly acute, of course, after November 2016. Nearly every racial malady since then has been attributed to Donald Trump and his hordes of white supremacist minions. It’s curious, however, that there hasn’t been the expected spike in the data related to racism. Just the opposite. For example, the number of race discrimination charges filed with the EEOC reached a 25-year high of 35,890 in 2010 during the Obama administration, compared with 23,976 filed (merely filed, not even determined to have probable cause) in 2019. Similarly, the FBI reports that 7,120 hate crimes were committed in 2018, fewer than even a decade ago, when the U.S. population was millions smaller and far fewer agencies were reporting hate crimes. These data points don’t necessarily disprove Democratic/media assertions that racism and white supremacy abound. But it’s a far easier lift than proving racism and white supremacy are ubiquitous. Not to worry. There’s at least one clear and unequivocal example of systemic racism in America today, but you’ll never hear Democratic candidates utter a word about it: the staggering racial preferences awarded by colleges to black and Hispanic applicants over white and Asian applicants. Systemic racism is OK, provided it’s approved by progressives, and they’re running the system.

Well said, Peter. Peter N. Kirsanow is the author of that outstanding op-ed.  He is an attorney and a member of the United States Commission on Civil Rights.  Oh, and not that it’s really relevant..but given the topic, and today’s politically correct climate, it’s probably worth noting that Peter is black.  Yeah…  How ’bout that.     🙂

Chelsea Handler Humiliated for Falsely Suggesting Trump Only Exonerates White People

Comedian Chelsea Handler was hammered after she falsely suggested that President Donald Trump only exonerates or pardons white people. Handler got dragged on social media by commenters who pointed out that among the people President Trump chose this week for clemency are Angela Stanton-King, Tynice Nichole Hall, and Crystal Munoz — who are black and Native American. Two years ago, President Trump also granted clemency to Alice Johnson, who is black. President Trump enacted clemency actions on Tuesday for 11 individuals who served time for a range of crimes including drug-related offenses and white-collar fraud. Chelsea Handler, whose most recent Netflix project is a documentary about “white privilege,” appeared to attempted to paint President Trump as a racist by incorrectly implying in a tweet that he only exonerates white people. Angela Stanton-King, who served time for her role in a stolen vehicle ring, pointed out to Handler that she is black. Other Twitter commenters hammered Handler for her inaccurate comment, noting that President Trump’s clemency list was diverse in a way that reflects the racial make-up of the U.S. Of the 11 individuals who received a presidential pardon or commutation, at least three, or 27 percent, count as racial minorities. The racial minority population in the U.S. is estimated at around 23 percent, according to 2010 census figures. Since the passage of the First Step Act under President Trump, 96 percent of people who have been resentenced under the act’s retroactivity provision have been racial minorities, according to data provided by The Sentencing Project. Handler’s Netflix documentary on white privilege — Hello, Privilege. It’s Me, Chelsea — debuted last year to largely negative reviews, with critics saying it amounts to a “misguided reckoning” and noting that she is actively “exploiting her wokeness” and “profiting off a film about her white privilege.”

Chelsea is a nauseating, self-serving, self-righteous, extreme liberal elitist stricken with Trump Derangement Syndrome.  And, with Netflix’s assistance, she’s peddling the standard “Trump is a racist” talking point, regardless of facts to the contrary.  She’s out saying that Trump only pardons white people.  That is factually false.  But, the facts don’t matter to her, or her followers.

Behar: 2020 Dems Under Too Much Scrutiny — Republicans Are the ‘Most Racist’

Co-host Joy Behar defended 2020 Democratic hopeful Michael Bloomberg’s record on race relations over the objections of co-host Sunny Hostin on Friday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View.” Behar said, “Here’s my point, the stop and frisk thing I think will be counteracted by some of the following. When he was mayor, not that—listen…I’m not shilling for Mayor Bloomberg yet, but I think there’s another side to the story.” Co-host Meghan McCain said, “You kind of are. You like him.” Behar said, “I like him, fine, I do. I like Biden too. I like all of them. I told you I’ll vote for any of them. I’ll vote for Peewee Herman, I told you. But let’s talk about this. He created an office to tackle poverty when he was mayor. He greatly expanded city contracts with businesses owned by minorities and women. He created the young men’s initiative to help black and Latino men stay on track for success, and he reduced incarceration by 40% and juvenile confinement by more than 60%. That is the balance to the stop and frisk that the black community is looking at. You know, as Sunny says every day, no one can win the primary without the black vote. Hostin said, “I think his record, though, Joy, is problematic. I really do. Not only does he have the stop and frisk issue, but he has also the redlining thing … he made it racial. He did.” Behar said, “Why are you so strict on Democrats and lenient on Republicans who have the most racist policies and the most racist track record? Why? Every single one who’s running probably has— this is a racist country, right? Hostin said, “Yeah.” Behar said, “Every single one of them has something in their background that doesn’t look good for race.

And THAT is what Joy Behar, and the rest of these liberal media tools, are falling back to; the race card.  For Dems, its the fallback position; playing the race card.  Joy is in hysterics.  Her pathological hatred (i.e. Trump Derangement Syndrome) for Trump is so intense, that even she admits she’d vote for the fictitious Peewee Herman character.  So, out comes the race card.  After all, Trump is the most racist president we’ve ever had, right?  America is starting to see through that unfounded Dem talking point…and that’s just one of the reasons Joy and her friends are in hysterics.

Coulter: Stop Apologizing for Saving Black Lives

Idiot conservatives were doing the idiot thing this week, screaming “racism!” in response to an old tape of former Mayor Michael Bloomberg defending stop-and-frisk, one of the policies that drove New York City murder rates down to Mayberry levels. They weren’t being ironic. In the 2015 tape, Bloomberg makes the blindingly obvious point that if “95 percent of murders and murder victims are young male minorities” — as is true in New York City — then police should be questioning about 95 percent young male minorities. To stop crime, he said, you “put a lot of cops where the crime is, which means in minority neighborhoods.” Bloomberg further explained that frisking young black and brown men for minor crimes is how you keep guns off the streets generally: “And the way you get the guns out of the kids’ hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them. And then they start, they say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to get caught.’ So they don’t bring the gun. They still have a gun, but they leave it at home.” Does anyone with a functioning frontal lobe disagree with this? By pursuing the wacky idea of having cops frisk kids in high-crime areas for minor offenses like turnstile jumping, Mayor Rudy Giuliani cut the murder rate from more than 2,000 per year to about 600. No one thought it could possibly go any lower — and then Bloomberg got murders down to an unfathomable 300 or so per year. Giuliani and Bloomberg did more for young minorities than all living Democrats combined. In New York City alone, at least 20,000 more black men are alive today than would be under the genius crime-fighting ideas of prior administrations (and The New York Times). Unless liberal elites are pursuing a secret plan to reduce the black population by allowing young black men to kill one another (that would make a great movie by Jordan Peele!), stop-and-frisk is nothing to apologize for. Well, guess what? Bloomberg apologized for it. He began his presidential campaign with a repudiation of his signature accomplishment in order to please a handful of black activists and a lot of white liberals. For that, he deserves the contempt of all men of good will. Why not attack him for the gutless apology? Is Bloomberg sorry for saving so many black lives? Does becoming a Democrat make basic math incomprehensible? Is he a pandering coward? Can we trust anything he says? But small-bore conservatives did what they always do: Give up winning a war in order to land a quick blow in a skirmish. They called Bloomberg’s earlier, logically insuperable point “RACIST!” Great, so now conservatives are adopting the absolute worst aspect of liberalism — calling everything “racist.” As I wrote in 2016, when the media were going through their quadrennial demand that the Republican candidate for president “disavow” David Duke, these “racism” orgies never have anything to do with black people. It’s part of the Fabulous White People competition, where black people are the chips. If anything, the urge to call other people “racist” has only gotten stronger since then, so I’ll quote myself: “Sad people with meaningless lives [are] suddenly empowered to condemn other people. I beat you in blacks yesterday; I’m going to beat you in women today. This is what makes them feel superior to other people, especially other white people. It’s not about racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.; it’s just a self-actualization movement for people with emotional issues.” Why are conservatives leaping into this game? For the teeny-tiny pleasure of taking a cheap shot at Bloomberg, they are endorsing the idea that anyone who 1) grasps basic math and 2) is opposed to gun crime is a “racist.” Our entire public dialogue will soon be nothing but white people calling one another “racist,” as if we’re trapped in an eternal Democratic presidential debate. At the New Hampshire debate last Friday night, Tom Steyer — hedge fund manager and Hero to Black People Everywhere — kept hammering Joe Biden about some “racist” remark made by South Carolina State Sen. Dick Harpootlian, a Biden supporter. “One of the leaders of Joe Biden’s South Carolina campaign,” Steyer said, “made racist remarks about someone associated with our campaign.” Steyer then repeatedly called on Biden to “disavow” the remark and the man who made it. “Be on the right side,” he implored. The story: Harpootlian had tweeted that another South Carolina Democrat, state legislator Jerry Govan, flipped his support from Biden to Steyer after being paid “almost $50,000” by the Steyer campaign. Calling Steyer “Mr. Moneybags,” Harpootlian concluded, “This is what happens when billionaires get involved … They don’t have to persuade anybody, they just buy them.” I’ve assembled a panel of black judges to rule on Harpootlian’s racism, and their response is: Keep reading. Get to the racism part. Nope, that’s it! Govan is black, so pointing out that Steyer paid him $50,000 and got his endorsement is “racist.” I would have gone with “anti-Semitic” myself, but what do I know? I guess I’ll check with the conservative “racism” fighters!

Thanks to conservative firebrand Ann Coulter for calling these self-righteous hypocrites out.  When Dems abuse the word “racism,” we kinda expect it.  It’s like a Geico commercial; “it’s what they do.”   But, when our side does it, it’s nauseating, and we need people like Ann to call them out.  Heck, Trump is called racist basically every day for simply waking up and breathing.  It’s beyond ridiculous.  Stop and frisk was a method that worked in both Rudy’s and Bloomberg’s administrations in NYC.  There is NO question or debate about that.  It’s not even remotely moot.  And those who shout “racism” over such practices are the real racists.

Liberal white women shelling out $2,500 to learn over dinner they’re racist

Liberal white women across the country are eagerly shelling out $2,500 to have dinner and learn about their racism and privilege. “Dear white women: You cause immeasurable pain and damage to Black, Indigenous and brown women,” reads a website description for Race to Dinner. “We are here to sit down with you to candidly discuss how *exactly* you cause this pain and damage. The dinners are a starting point. A place to start thinking through how you actively uphold white supremacy every minute of every day. What you do after you leave the dinner is up to you.” Race to Dinner, which is featured in a new profile by The Guardian, was founded by Regina Jackson, who is black, and Saira Rao, who is Indian American, in the spring of 2019 and they said they haven’t been able to take a break ever since. In the program, a white woman agrees to host a $2,500-a-plate dinner for seven other white women, often strangers, while Ms. Jackson and Ms. Rao challenge them to accept their racism. So far, they’ve held 15 dinners in big cities across the U.S., The Guardian reported. The news outlet joined a Race to Dinner discussion in the Denver home of Jess Campbell-Swanson, where the women discussed their racial privilege over freshly made pasta. “Recently, I have been driving around, seeing a black person, and having an assumption that they are up to no good,” said attendee Alison Gubser, The Guardian reported. “Immediately after I am like, that’s no good! This is a human, just doing their thing. Why do I think that?” That was just one of the many admissions typically made at these dinners, which have taken a softer tone since the program was launched last year. Some women reported to The Guardian that Ms. Jackson and Ms. Rao came off as combative and angry in the beginning, so they eventually hired a white woman, Lisa Bond, in an effort to help the women open up more. The approach seems to have worked, but the founders still won’t bother inviting white women who voted for President Trump or white men, they told The Guardian. “White men are never going to change anything,” Ms. Jackson said. “If they were, they would have done it by now.” Ms. Rao added, “I’d spent years trying to get through to white women with coffees and teas — massaging them, dealing with their tears, and I got nowhere. I thought, if nothing is going to work, let’s try to shake them awake.” Ms. Bond said the problem isn’t the president, but the culture that allows racism to hide in shadows. “If Trump were impeached tomorrow and we got a new president, a lot of white liberal people will go back to living their lives just as before, and that’s what we have to prevent,” she said. “All that’s happened is we can see racism now, while before we could cover it up. That’s why we need these dinners. So when we get a new person in and racism is not as obvious, we won’t just crawl back to being comfortable.”

Wow..    These white liberal women who would actually spend $2,500 to have these anti-white racists yell at them are morons!!  Holy crap!  What person in their right mind would do a thing like that?!?  As we oftentimes ask here at The Daily Buzz…  And who, exactly, are the racists here?  It’s these losers to at “Race to Dinner.”  They are the ultimate race hustlers.  Just awful…

Bernie Sanders’ strange history of comparing blue-collar workers to black slaves

Sen. Bernie Sanders is famous for railing against the 1 percent and lamenting the conditions of the modern working class. But early in his career, he went even further to cast those workers as victims of the system – using a curious analogy to repeatedly compare the plight of blue-collar workers to the horrors endured by enslaved African Americans. The Daily Beast reported earlier last month that the presidential hopeful had brought up slavery when discussing the struggles of the working class in nearly all-white Vermont in the 1970s. Fox News has obtained more examples of archival interviews the Vermont independent did in the 1970s that reveal Sanders’ comparison wasn’t a one-off, but an apparent belief that he repeatedly espoused. In an interview with the Brattleboro Reformer published Oct. 11, 1976, Sanders offered a harsh reaction to the news that a family-owned business, Vermont Marble Co., was being acquired by a Swiss firm. “What about the 800 workers?’ Sanders asked. “They were informed about the sale four days before it was publicly announced. They were sold to the Swiss. No one asked them how they felt about it. They weren’t treated very differently from the way black people in this country were treated when there was slavery.'” In the 1970s, Sanders ran twice for governor and twice for Senate unsuccessfully as the nominee for the left-wing Liberty Union Party. In an interview with the Rutland Daily Herald in 1978 on why he kept seeking office, Sanders brought up slavery again. “I believe that the vast majority of the people of the world and of this country are living in a slave-like condition not terribly different from what existed in this country before the Civil War,” Sanders said in the Nov. 5, 1978 article. Two years later, Sanders went on to run for mayor of Burlington, Vt., as a self-described socialist. The 39-year-old won by 10 votes in a major political upset that kicked off a long political career that could end with winning the White House in November. The Sanders campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about whether the senator still believes the conditions of the working class are similar to black people sold into slavery. A Sanders campaign official, however, sought to downplay the comments to the Daily Beast by explaining that Sanders has been a longtime opponent of wage slavery, and pointed to his work as a senator in investigating cases of poor working conditions. The official also noted that Sanders has called for the U.S. to officially apologize for slavery. The Daily Beast reported other interviews in which Sanders made comparisons to slavery in the 1970s. At the time, the population of Vermont was 99 percent white, and Sanders was a prominent leader of the Liberty Union Party, a socialist party in that state. In a 1976 interview, Sanders likened the sale of a private mining company to “the days of slavery, when black people were sold to different owners without their consent.” In a 1977 interview, Sanders said that “basically, today, Vermont workers remain slaves in many, many ways,” the Daily Beast reported. The newly unearthed clips obtained by Fox News reflect themes that are remarkably similar to those of Sanders’ current 2020 presidential campaign – minus the slavery references. In the Daily Herald interview in 1978, Sanders fashioned himself as a journalist and said his goal is to educate and mobilize working people to take the state of Vermont “away from the bankers and corporate executives who currently control it.” Sanders at age 37 had doomsday predictions, much like he does today at age 78. “I find the conditions of the world horrendous,” Sanders said in 1978. “And if present trends continue, I believe the planet may not survive another 50 years on its present course, and certainly not with any degree of individual freedom.”

Bernie truly is a lunatic.  To actually compare slaves who are taken forcibly and forced to do what they do, with blue-collar workers who can leave their places of employment to work some place else, and are NOT owned by the companies they work for is beyond ridiculous.  It’s an insult to actual slaves.  What’s frightening is so many millennials and younger voters are actually “feeling the Bern.”  Thanks to the team at Fox News that did this excellent investigative journalism for us.  No wonder they’re destroying CNN and MSNBC in the ratings.

Easy Backup Strategy - Archive on Import

One of the reasons that photographers are inconsistent with backing up their images is because they don't have a system. So archiving turns into a housekeeping chore that they do when they "have time."

The trick is to create a simple habit for archiving that never fails you. One approach is to use the "Save Copies to:" feature in Adobe Bridge (Photo Downloader) or in Adobe Lightroom. Both applications allow you to backup your masters to an external hard drive while you're transferring them from the memory card to the computer.

So, while downloading, your masters are actually going to two locations: the Pictures folder on your computer's hard drive (or where ever you store your images) and to a second backup hard drive. The good news about this approach is that it's easy and you instantly have a duplicate of your "digital negatives." The bad news is that you don't get to add any metadata to the backup images during download, only to the primary pictures.

But I do find it comforting to having duplicate versions of every shot I've transferred when I pull the memory card out of the reader. And I never have to worry, "Did I back up that last shoot or not."

Hold On And Smile [on Not So Flawed Wednesday]

ernie straw copy

I do not know the full history of the Ernie straw. I only know that he holds a place of reverence in our odds-n-ends drawer. And, when Ernie makes an appearance, there is general celebration, photos taken and texted, and laughter-rooted-in-deep-memory swirls like the straw through our kitchen. I watch and appreciate their glee.

I do not share the lived history that Kerri and our children share. They are, as Michael Perry taught me to say, rather than my step-children, they are my given-children. At Kerri and my wedding, my newly given-children shook my hand and said mechanically, “Welcome to the family.” And then they laughed and hugged me tight. Our memories together are new and have tender, shallow roots. We are early in the creation of our history together.

This summer, I was on Island and Kerri made a trip home to see Kirsten. During our late in the evening phone call, Kerri was thrilled that Kirsten had found the Ernie straw and was using it everyday! She sent me pictures. Kirsten posing with Ernie joyfully spiraling out of her cup. I heard Kirsten laughing in the background. Kerri joined her laughter and they giggled me through their history with Ernie.

Ernie is out of the drawer every day since Kerri broke her wrists. He fits nicely into the lid of her Hydro Flask, the only safe coffee-delivery-system. Ernie has been seen rocketing out of her wine glass, too. These days he does duty on both ends of the day.

Mostly, I’m delighted to be making memories with Ernie. The next time he comes out of the drawer I will be more than an passive watcher, a mere listener to the stories of the Ernie straw. I now have real experiences with Ernie. I am slowly entering the weave of story, the fabric of participation. And, like Ernie clutching tight to his corkscrew straw, I couldn’t be more pleased to be winding my way into this part of the tapestry.

Nigerian mission condemns killing of three Nigerians in South Africa

The Consul-General of Nigeria in Johannesburg, South Africa, Godwin Adama, has condemned the killing of three Nigerians between April 6 and April 9 at different locations in the country.
Adama, however, said in statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja that the killings were not xenophobic attacks related.
He said: “It is clear that as much as any form of criminality and xenophobic attacks against foreigners, including Nigerians in South Africa is condemnable, the killings do not fit into xenophobic attacks.
“The cases are the stabbing of a Nigerian, Bonny Iwuola, in Turfontain in Johanesburg on April 6 at about 23.30 hours in front of his house, by unknown assailants, and more of crime related murder.
“Other Nigerians in the compound were neither molested nor attacked.
“Another Nigerian, Gozien Christian, from Agbor in Delta State, was stabbed to death by three unknown assailants. No arrest has been made but cases were opened and police are investigating the murders.”
According to him, a third case of murder which happened on the night of April 8 at Sunnyside in Pretoria happened at the usual place of cult-related murders by Nigerian cult groups.
He said: “This particular case had more connection with business-related disagreement that turned sour.
“Investigations are on but eye witness accounts indicated that he was killed and his new Mercedes car-2019 model was snatched and driven away. All these cases do not appear to be xenophobic.
“They are part of the usual crime-related killings in South Africa. Police statistics in South Africa indicate that over 18,000 murders take place in South Africa in a year.”
According to him, the country has one of the highest crime rates in the world and security is a serious business here.
Adama, however, said that the Mission had been on top of the situation adding that the latest xenophobic attacks against foreigners in Kwazulu Natal province did not affect Nigerians.
He said that other recent attacks that affected Nigerians occurred on Àpril 3 at Evander which led to destruction and looting of some of their property were immediately put under control.
He said: “We personally travelled there on Friday to organise a joint meeting with Nigerians and police authorities in the area and the matter was resolved amicably.
“The Nigerians were immediately reintegrated into the community as police assured of their safety and protection.
“Finally, the host president has condemned any violence against foreigners and the minister of foreign affairs has had two meetings so far with African Diplomats to discuss the matter.”
He said that it was the first time that the government was taking serious steps to discuss the matter adding that the ruling ANC party had also condemned the action and the situation was calm.
He added: “The greatest challenge we have now is Nigerians killing other Nigerians in cult-related murders.”

Faygo Rock ‘n’ Rye and Cold Duck: pour Detroit

You meet the most interesting people and hear the most interesting things on the “Faygo Book” trail.

Rock&RyeA woman at the Riverview Library reminisced about mixing Faygo Rock ‘n’ Rye with Cold Duck.

Others seemed surprised to the brink of shock.”What is Cold Duck?” It, like Faygo, is a Detroit drink.

Detroit Free Press reporter Zlati Meyer, who is in “The Faygo Book” for marveling that the company made kosher grape pop, told the Cold Duck story on March 25, 2012.

Meyer wrote that restaurateur Harold Borgman invented Cold Duck at the Pontchartrain Wine Cellars in downtown Detroit. The year was 1937, just two years after Faygo moved into its Gratiot Avenue home. Borgman mixed dry red California burgundy with New York sparkling wine.

He was experimenting with a German custom of adding champagne to the dregs of open wines from a party. Borgman called his concoction Kalte Ende, German for “Cold End,” but someone replaced the “D” with a “T,” giving us Kalte Ente, German for “Cold Duck.”

You can still buy it, unless you’d prefer to mix your own. Mixologists who combine Faygo Rock ‘n’ Rye with Cold Duck will have a pour that is pure Detroit.

The woman in Riverview declined to give her name and could not recall the proportions she used. She said she just kept adding and mixing until she achieved a taste she liked.

Since "The Faygo Book" came out, I have been traveling all over Michigan talking about Faygo, answering questions and hearing some wonderful stories about this great pop.

antenna 2The fireworks in the neighborhood didn’t keep me awake, much.

I was tired. I am tired. Working on a 100-page book about the county where I live and work is a wearisome, worrisome task. It has consumed me for three months now, and it will continue to consume me for the next six weeks, when finally I turn over to the printer the data that will become a book.

My summer will begin when that project is done.

Researching, writing and photographing “Ashtabula County: A Field Guide to Where Great Things Happen” has forced me to revisit the places I thought I knew and rediscover them again, to update my mind and points of reference even as I update a book.

Kelloggsville house

In Kelloggsville, there is a fine field of wheat. And the old tire swing in the yellow house at the crossroads.

Hearing protection suggested.

I had not been to Raceway 7 in Monroe Township in 30-some years. Not much has changed. It’s still dirty. Noisy. People eat unhealthy food there. Drink beer from cans. Make their little ones wear big ear muffs, the kind I should have worn when those hoodlums tossed the firecracker into the concrete porch and destroyed much of my hearing.

Camping with mobile gear.

The campground at Pymatuning State Park is beautiful. For a brief moment, very brief, I thought I’d like to try camping again. Then I remembered that thunderstorm at 4 a.m. and sleeping in the car … besides, most folks there my age had their faces in an LCD screen with their black Lab by their side. I can do that home.

DrawbridgeRichard Gillespie has a good sense of humor. Put up a sign on the road at Penn View on Pymatuning Lake: Drawbridge Ahead.

pumpThere is a hand water pump in the town square at Andover.

video shelf

The old bank building is home to a video rental store.

Yes, you can still rent DVDs and Blu Ray discs in Andover.

And they were quite busy.

And there also is a real movie theater on the square. A single-screen, digital theater. 138 seats, and most are filled on Thursday nights when admission is just $3.

chop sueyAnd a Chinese restaurant that serves chop suey as late as 9 p.m. on a Saturday evening. A young Chinese boy of about 12 or 14 takes your order. He is very polite. I dare say he is the most polite and courteous young person I have met in years. His sister was very sweet and polite, as well. I assume the petite lady who served my meal is their mother. And she was very polite.

And the food, it was good. Steaming hot. Perhaps too many onions for my taste, but at 9 p.m. in Andover, Ohio, on July 2, a vegetarian cannot be choosy about his meal.

I do regret eating when I did, for while consuming chop suey and reading one of those free magazines that are stuffed with pictures of used cars, trucks and industrial equipment from the tri-state area, the sky pulled a fast one on me.

What a sunset. I should have positioned myself across the lake, in Pennsylvania. It would have been a gorgeous shot.

silosRed reflections on grain silos and the Congregational church’s steeple were my lot. Sometimes, even after working all day, all life gives us are the reflection of a sunset and a plate of chop suey.

And I am grateful for both, and the freedom to enjoy them.

Lionel the GOAT

Barcelona versus **insert ANY English club here** is my favourite fixture in the Champions League knockouts.

I realised this in a packed-out North London pub on Wednesday night.

I was there to watch Lionel Messi against players I watch on Match of the Day every week (this time Chelsea). Judging on both the lack of blue shirts, and nervousness in the air, others were there for him too.

On screen, the images were all Messi. Hugs from former team mates, a super slow mo of him plucking a ball out of thin air in the warm up. Next, a 30ft iteration of the man being passed around the Camp Nou. “God Save the King” it read.

Lionel Messi, Barcelona, and their appeal to the footballing neutral is undeniable and after all that pre-match fanfare, it took two minutes to be reminded as to why.

It was little Leo making people – people who are very good at the game of football – look silly. Again.

In this case it was Thibaut Courtois. Usually good with his legs. Nutmegged. The only physical place Messi could have scored.

Less than 20 minutes later it was one of his old mates, Cesc, at fault. He should have known better.

Messi, it’s not an exaggeration to say, was already causing utter panic amongst highly-accomplished players. Nothing new there, then.

He skipped past two after Fabregas (it doesn’t really matter who) and they were chasing him like schoolboys.

As this was happening, everyone forgot about Ousmane Dembele – it’s easily done when you’re scrambling – square ball from Messi. 2-0.

Dembele, Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic. They can play a bit. So can Messi’s old mate,

Andres Iniesta. One sublime flick through showing he’s still got the touch to execute a footballing vision only equalled in modern times by You Know Who.

And let’s not forget the others. Those not with us anymore. In a top-level footballing sense. Xavi. Ronaldinho. Alexis Sanchez (joking).

I mention those recent greats because after Messi had nutmegged (and humiliated) Courtois for the second time and put the tie beyond doubt, my stomach sank. A horrible realisation took hold.

It’s all about Messi. Other players have come and gone in my lifetime. Soon Iniesta will too. But none will leave a hole like Leo.

How many more times will the man grace English soil in a Champions League knockout game? Five? maybe. Ten? unlikely.

He is the reason that Chelsea fans were able to shrug their shoulders on the final whistle.

He humbles fans, just like he humbles players.

He’s the reason I’ll be back in the pub if Barca draw Liverpool or better still Manchester City (the Pep thing) in this competition.

That “God Save the King” banner was back on our screens on the final whistle but in my Messi-induced reverie I couldn’t help thinking we needed another one making.

“God Savour the King”. It would read. And it should fly above every football pub in the world.

Beyonce Knowles performs onstage during 2018 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival Weekend 1 on April 14, 2018 in Indio, California.
Photo: Larry Busacca (Getty Images for Coachella)

There are surprises, and then there’s a Beyoncé album drop.

The 37-year-old superstar first introduced the concept of the random album drop on December 13, 2013 when she released Beyoncé (lovingly referred to by fans as “Self-Titled”) and has since hit us all with the hee ever since — implementing the same concept with Lemonade and her co-album with husband Jay-Z, Everything Is Love. And she leveled up the surprise each time.

At the ungodly hour of midnight Pacific time and 3 a.m. on the East Coast, Netflix dropped ΗΘΜΣCΘΜΙΝG: A Film By Beyoncé, giving us an inside look into her historic 2018 Coachella performance, which forever changed the way we looked at headliners in the California desert. Shit, she changed the course of our music festival language — it wasn’t the Beyoncé Coachella performance, it was Beychella.

We all knew the release date thanks to an unexpected (and cryptic) Netflix announcement a week prior to the release, but everyone knows Bey doesn’t stop there. She never stops there. She always extends above and beyond.

Cue, ΗΘΜΣCΘΜΙΝG: The Live Album. That’s right, along with the 2-hour-long documentary giving us a sneak-peek into what it took for Bey to curate such an unforgettable performance, she’s giving us the music to match.

If you watched the performance (“you,” meaning every-damn-body), one of the most impactful things about it was that the live marching band added the oomph to already great songs, not to mention Bey’s well-known music mash-ups.

Along with having the actual performance officially documented so that we can revisit as much as we want, we have the ability to plug masterpieces such as the amped up “Everybody Mad” by O.T. Genasis (it’s after “Diva” on track 12; don’t fret if you don’t see it as its own track!). And the interludes are included!

Plus, there’s a version of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by Blue. Yes, that Blue. As in Ivy.

ΗΘΜΣCΘΜΙΝG: The Live Album is now available on TIDAL, Apple Music, and iTunes. Welcome home.

because he’s lived his whole life of people just saying he was this bad guy, and that one split second, he changed a lot of lives. You know, he really did. And the bad thing about it for me, is that, my daughter Bailey, she gets to go visit him. But, the Carter’s don’t get to go visit their child. so, it touched all of our families, changed our lives forever.

February 17th may seem like any other day in the month. For most people, it is. For those who know it’s Random Act of Kindness Day, they’ll make sure they find a way to pay it forward. If you are unfamiliar with this special date, this article will help you understand how to help seniors and brighten their day.

None of these are expensive, or even very time-consuming. That’s because it really doesn’t take much to make someone’s day a little better. Kindness is free, and you have many ways you can go about using it!

Prepare their favorite meal

Everyone can agree that there is nothing better than a home-cooked meal. Fresh ingredients, the aroma of fragrant spices and seasonings, and also the effort of simply taking the time to prepare it.

Seniors tend to not get to cook as much as they used to. They have a family recipe that has not only been passed down for generations but was also something made with love. Find out what that recipe is, and with that, they can feel the same love they did when they themselves or a loved one once prepared it for them.

Bring them fresh flowers

The smell of fresh-cut lilies or gardenias can bring anyone at ease. Lavender is known for its stress-relieving benefits, an aromatic form of therapy. Not only do fresh flowers bring a pleasant experience for the nose, but the vivid colors and delicateness is something that can brighten up any room.

Even if you don’t know exactly what their favorite type of flower is, they will still appreciate the gesture and the thought. Even handpicked wildflowers would still mean a lot, being that you organized a unique bouquet all on your own!

Give them a book that they’d like to read

They say that knowledge is power, but what about reading for enjoyment? Many of us like to pick up a book from time to time and immerse ourselves into the life of a character in a story unfolding in a world that’s not like ours. Imagination comes to life in words, and with different genres at our disposal, there is no telling what kind of adventure we can embark on just by turning a page.

Give that same gift of adventure, by simply selecting a title that they might like. Fiction, non-fiction, biographical, romance, the categories can be endless, and if you don’t know what book to bring them, this helpful guide might be a good place to start.

Help them with an errand

Gifts are great, but sometimes just lending a helping hand is enough to make their day. Take them to a doctor’s appointment, or just asking them if they need anything if you’re heading out will let them know you’re thinking of them.

It can be harder for seniors to access areas outside of their home, and if they live in a senior living community. Being their right hand to bring them items or personally drive them somewhere is just enough to show them you are willing to make time for them.

Send them a card

Handwritten letters and notes are not as common these days. For seniors, they came from a time where it was the norm. Emails and phone calls are great, but anything handwritten just holds timeless value.

Just writing a quick note to let them know you care or hope they have a good day will make them feel appreciated. Not only at that moment, but anytime they take it out and can reread it. Choose a card or stationery that has a beautiful design, and take the time to make the message thoughtful.

Make Random Act of Kindness Day, every day

While some actions seem small, it’s the impact they have that become greater. Seeing the smile spread across the face of someone who needs it is something that many of us get a lot of fulfillment from. Just know that it doesn’t take much, there’s no need to overthink, but most importantly, don’t just limit it to February 17th.

At The Kensington, we strive to bring kindness and love to our residents every day. Our promise is to love and care for your family as we do our own. We provide for varying levels of care, with the same amount of compassion for their wellbeing and safety.

Visitors are always welcome and encouraged! We would love to have you visit and see what makes us different. If your senior loved one is in need of expert-level care, backed by kindness and love, The Kensington is your partner in the adjustment to assisted living or memory care. Give us a call today if you would like to learn more.

Further Reading:

Memory loss is life changing for all involved. At The Kensington, we provide a state-of-the-art memory care program, a higher staff-to-resident ratio than industry standards, and more advanced care services. Our promise is to love and care for your family as we do our own.

For additional resources regarding your loved one’s condition, please read on about our Memory Care, Alzheimer’s Care and Dementia Care.

There are so many tremendous values in the high-end market here in St. Charles and the surrounding area that I just had to share a few with you today.

We are lucky enough to represent many of those sellers, and these values are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Interest rates are still low, so now is the time to act.

One of the homes we’re representing has a basketball court in the basement, and all of these homes are gorgeous. Check out the video above for a slideshow featuring these amazing properties.

“Now is the time to act.”

Give me a call or send me an email if you have any questions. I would be happy to help you!

Law School Accreditaton Standards

“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will, within the limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law;’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.”

                 – Thomas Jefferson, in an 1819 letter to Isaac Tiffany

Given the history of the American Bar Association and its key role in “approving” law schools in Texas, it seemed only fair to examine this in more detail so as to determine its importance to the government’s monopoly on the law. A scholar in 1978 admitted that:

“From its earliest days, the American Bar Association has sought to regulate the training and licensing of the nation’s lawyers. The ABA was founded in large part to improve the quality of the legal profession, and many of its members believed that this could best be accomplished by upgrading the training received by American lawyers and by raising the standards for admission to the bar. Its attempts to improve professional training led to the association to implicitly endorse law schools rather than law offices as the best place to prepare for law practice. Eventually, as it focused on improving the quality of training rendered by law schools, the association set minimum standards for law schools and established a program to accredit law schools that complied with the standards.”

Right there, the ABA has been dead set against the ancient common law practice of reading law, allegedly on the grounds that so-called country lawyers were grossly incompetent. Fossum goes on to say that:

“To have an impact on the legal profession, the ABA standards have to be tied to the bar-admission standards of the various states, inasmuch as the association as no direct control over admissions. Thus, following its adoption of accrediting standards, the ABA commenced efforts to persuade each state to limit licenses for the practice of law to graduates of law schools that have received ABA accreditation. Despite the importance of the ABA accrediting standards and program for the legal profession and the public, few efforts have been made to explore their influence on the structure of legal education. Virtually no attempts have been made to examine the validity of any of the standards.” [emphasis added]

Here we have yet another example of a private special interest who is seeking undue government favor. Just as American eugenicists sought legislative privilege to forcibly impose draconian “genetic purity” statutes, these American bar attorneys sought legislative privilege to forcibly impose “accreditation standards” (that ultimately determine who may be licensed to practice law), whose validity in achieving its stated claims has never been proven. And just like how the Carnegie Institute and the Rockefeller Foundation funded the Cold Spring Harbor eugenics facility, the ABA planned what they wanted the various state bar associations to forcibly implement by way of government:

“It was at its annual meeting in 1921 that the American Bar Association officially began its efforts to regulate access to the legal profession by adopting a resolution that (1) set minimum standards for law admissions, courses of study, faculties, and libraries; (2) established an accrediting program to encourage compliance with these standards; and (3) declared that only lawyers who were graduates of accredited law schools should be allowed to practice law. The purpose of these measures was to improve the quality of the nation’s lawyers. Some commentators who subsequently examined these events, however, have suggested that the members of the association – primarily the more successful, established members of the bar – also hoped to stop the proliferation of lawyers which threatened ‘the income and prestige of their profession.’ ”

Notice right there how Fossum reiterates the ABA’s official story, only to then cause doubt as to its truthfulness in the very next sentence by suggesting the real reason instead was the ABA’s systematic discrimination against the country lawyers who had not been indoctrinated by spurious theories of justice when they attended law school in order to protect their own profits and professional “respect.”

So, just how easily were these accreditation standards passed? Well, let’s consider the internal politics of the ABA at that time first:

“At the meeting of the association in 1929, members who disapproved of the standards for openly promoting full-time, university-affiliated law schools, to the detriment of part-time law schools, tried unsuccessfully to convince the association to reconsider its accrediting standards and program. Instead, the association reaffirmed its original standards and adopted a new one that specifically prohibited the accreditation of law schools that were run as ‘commercial enterprises’ (i.e., proprietary law schools).”

That’s ironic, isn’t it? In the attempt to establish a full-fledged monopoly, the ABA quells internal dissent by claiming they are also trying to clamp down on private schooling! Using a contemporary example, this would be like a statist insisting that the Common Core State Standards Initiative is necessary to curb all those varieties of free-market schooling (because, you know, the No Child Left Behind Act was such a resounding success). Regarding the adoption by the state bar associations of these standards, Fossum says:

“The states were slow to incorporate the ABA standards into their bar admission provisions because the ABA had too little influence to gain the necessary support for their adoption. In the 1920s, the organization was a relatively weak one that represented less than 10 percent of the nation’s lawyers. Further, on the matter of legal education, the ABA members could not unite in a single course of action. In comparison, the American Medical Association represented 40 – 50 percent of the nation’s doctors when it began accrediting medical schools in the early 1900s, and it presented a united front in pursuing its goals. By the 1930s, less than 30 years after the AMA had established accrediting standards, 44 states required any ‘applicant for a medical license to be a graduate of a school approved by the American Medical Association.’ It took considerably longer – over 50 years – for the ABA to succeed in getting a comparable number of states to adopt restrictive licensing provisions.”

Rather interesting, wouldn’t you say? It wasn’t even so much the profession of being a bar attorney that was despicable at that time, because it was a tiny minority of bar attorneys who sought to establish their monopoly by controlling which law schools were permitted to teach those individuals who wanted to practice law. This hegemonic control of educational standards, instead of a plurality of standards competing with each other in order to satisfy market demand, smacks more of corporatism rather than laissez-faire. Fossum continues:

“Nevertheless, as late as 1956 only 18 states required that original applicants for bar admission (i.e., applicants who had not been admitted to the bar of any other state) be graduates of an ABA-accredited law school; 7 other states had practices that in effect limited admission to graduates of ABA-accredited schools. Milton Friedman explained the inability of the ABA to equal the AMA in gaining the support of the states by the fact that many state legislators were graduates of unaccredited law schools…Friedman predicted, however, that as state legislatures became increasingly made up of graduates of accredited schools, they would be more willing to incorporate the ABA standards into bar admission provisions.”

Even here, an efficiency expert for Big Government was able to surmise that, given enough time, the state legislatures would be infiltrated by the products of these monopolized law schools. The result of such infiltration was:

“Thus, approximately 50 years after commencing efforts to regulate access to the legal profession, the ABA had come close to matching the success of the AMA in obtaining passage of restrictive licensing provisions in the states.” [emphasis added]

Ah, so that is what much of this is about – the licensure upon the practice of law. Cui bono, much?

What was Fossum able to determine, if anything at all, about the validity regarding the ABA’s claims that its standards would decrease the incompetency of lawyers? Using the (now old) Standard 202 as her testable variable, Fossum says:

“The ABA standards govern those elements of a law school which are considered to determine the quality of its legal education…Standard 202 states that a law school ‘may not be operated for private profit’ (i.e. it may not be proprietary). This restriction reflects the belief that the provision of a sound legal education is not compatible with the maximization of profit and therefore that the quality of any proprietary law school must of necessity be low. Since this standard has acted as an absolute bar to accreditation it has never been possible to test the validity of that belief, if Standard 202 has applied, none of the other standards has been considered. This, if a law school is nonproprietary and meets the other ABA standards, the ABA will accredit it. If it meets or even surpasses all the standards regarding faculty, library, and other facilities but is proprietary, the school cannot be accredited.”

Besides the fact that this economically bogus, what it reveals is that this tiny minority of bar attorneys espoused virtually the same beliefs as the authoritarian communists. The hatred of bourgeois profit, the phony egalitarianism, and the love of undue government favor all evoke an aristocratic desire for honors that would have been prohibited by the Titles of Nobility Amendment. Fossum said that:

“In conclusion, the comparison of unaccredited proprietary and nonproprietary schools revealed that the two types of schools were remarkably similar with respect to administrative policies, admissions politics, education programs, faculty, library, and physical plant. Most differences were noted within each category than between the two categories. When differences on the quality measures were noted between unaccredited nonproprietary and proprietary schools, size and geographical location were more likely to account for differences than was financial structure. The data gathered in this study fail to show persuasively that on the basis of accreditation criteria proprietary schools are inherently inferior to similarly situated nonproprietary schools. In short, the available data do not establish that when assessing the quality of a law school, ABA Standard 202 can fairly serve as a surrogate for the remaining ABA standards.” [emphasis added]

At best, according to Fossum, the ABA’s accreditation standards did not improve the competency of new bar attorneys. Why then, I wonder, would the ABA push so hard for these ineffective standards to be adopted by various state bar associations? Fossum explains that:

“To the extent, then, that is has been justified as a surrogate for the other standards to facilitate the elimination of a class of law schools that are believed to be inherently defective, Standard 202 has apparently been based on a faulty or at least unproved assumption. In any event, owing to the status of the ABA as a ‘semiofficial agency’ in most states, Standard 202 has had a considerable effect on the structure of legal education as well as on that of the legal profession.”

Understandably, she is trying to be objective by also being charitable here, but come on! Does no one see a glaring problem here? Who the hell in their right mind would ever support anything the ABA ever wanted to do again in the future after learning about this notorious disaster? What part of “faulty or at least unproved assumption” does not absolutely reek of corruption? Fossum concludes that:

“Like Standard 202, the rest of the ABA standards have been and continue to be officially justified on the grounds that they improve the quality of legal education…[t]hese standards, like Standard 202, have been promoted by the ABA and enforced by the states without any serious attempt to validate them. All the ABA standards should be examined and their supporting assumptions tested.”

I guess it wouldn’t hurt to acquire more empirical proof just to be on the safe side, yet, is it really necessary for you to judge whether the ABA’s monopoly on the law is justified? If you remember, Harvey Silverglate claimed that the ABA was an independent bar, and as such, was an indispensably important counterweight to government actions. How “independent” can any bar association be if it enjoys a government granted monopoly on the provision of law schools, and subsequently, a unique advantage in determining how the licensure on the practice of law itself is granted?

Donna Fossum’s Law School Accreditation Standards and the Structure of American Legal Education is a mind-blowing piece that exposes the ABA for what they are: a ruling secular priest-class. Is it any wonder that huge chunks of government employees (such as legislators, judges, and bureaucrats) are as institutionally despotic as they are? Only by decentralizing power through avenues such as the apprenticeship of new lawyers by judges and the private production of legal educational services can any lover of liberty be able to cause serious dents against the statist monopoly upon the law.

27 - Reiki Treatment

Welcome to The Meditation Podcast, with Jesse and Jeane Stern. Episode 27, Reiki Treatment.

Reiki means "Universal life force". It is a mode of healing often performed as healing touch, or laying on hands. However, Reiki can also be done at a distance. The practitioner allows the Reiki energy to flow through his or her hands, and into the recipient. Often, the recipient feels physical heat, relaxation of the breath, and the experience of unconditional love.

The philosophy of Reiki is that all ailments are rooted in the spirit. By sending healing energy through the body to the spirit, the entire "self" realigns toward its natural state of perfection. Jesse is a reiki practitioner at the level commonly called Master Teacher.

In today's meditation, just relax and allow yourself to receive an infusion of Universal life force.

Get Out – A Spooky Film That Creeped the Hell Out of Me!

When my husband told me that Daniel Kaluuya had been nominated at the Golden Globes in the Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy category for Get Out, I went all thoughtful, thinking that maybe there was some dark humor in the film. Maybe they did it for a reason. I was willing to give the Golden Globes the benefit of the doubt. And then I watched the movie.

Presidential Budget Woes

Campaigns fail for a variety of reasons. Some reasons are beyond the control of the campaign and its manager: A crowded field, an upset or apathetic electorate, or an unimpeachable opponent. Some failures can be traced back to a candidate: Skeletons in the closet, gaffes, and laziness. And many flops fall squarely on the shoulders of the campaign manager; one of those failures is the inability to maintain budget control. In addition to a campaign manager’s roles in developing and executing strategy, hiring and managing staff, and being a surrogate for the boss, the task of staying in the black is solely the responsibility of the campaign manager.

Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported on the campaign of Dr. Ben Carson, the pediatric neurosurgeon who has skyrocketed to conservative fame in a short period of time. The Journal scoured financial documents from the Carson presidential campaign and found “[Dr.] Carson’s team raised $8.8 million in October and spent $9.5 million—putting the retired neurosurgeon’s effort under water months before the first early-state voters caucus and cast ballots.”

It appears “Carson fever,” as campaign manger Barry Bennett called it, has become scarlet fever because of all the red ink. And sadly, Carson’s is not the first campaign to fall victim to budgetary mismanagement this cycle. (more…)

AAP after Delhi polls result
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal gestures during his address to supporters after party's victory in the State Assembly polls, at AAP office in New Delhi. | PTI
Text Size:

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party’s young faces such as Atishi and Raghav Chadha will not find a place in Arvind Kejriwal’s council of ministers as the new Delhi government plans to continue with its old cabinet, ThePrint has learnt.

Sources said Kejriwal, who was elected legislative party leader of AAP Wednesday, does not want any changes in the cabinet because he feels the party has swept back to power on the basis of the hard work of the incumbent ministers.

While portfolio allocation will be decided later, all the ministers will take oath with Kejriwal Sunday at the Ramlila Maidan. The 2015 Delhi Cabinet includes Manish Sisodia, Satyender Jain, Kailash Gehlot, Gopal Rai, Imran Hussain and Rajendra Pal Gautam.

Sisodia was the Education Minister in the previous cabinet, and he also held charge of the Women and Child Welfare Ministry. Gautam was the Social Welfare Minister, while Jain held the Health and PWD portfolios. Gehlot was Transport Minister and was also in charge of Law, Revenue and Information and Technology. Rai was the Labour Minister and Imran Hussain was given charge of Food and Civil Supplies, Environment and Forest.

Kejriwal led the AAP to its second consecutive sweep in Delhi Tuesday, dealing a blow to main rival BJP and completely decimating the Congress. It has won 62 of Delhi’s 70 seats.
