At least someone listened to her

??????????????

When Hillary explained that while coal was an obviously dying king of fuel and bringing back the dying industry that would never have enough positions to rehire all the miners was a bad idea, she proposed a program for retraining miners so they could get jobs in renewable energy like wind and solar. Considering that the wind and solar industries employ more people than fossil fuel jobs at 2.5 to one as solar and wind jobs have grown at a rate twelve times faster than the rest of the U.S. economy, they would have employment into the future.

She was roundly condemned as being anti-coal when in reality she was pro-coal miner.

The coal miners went for Trump.

Now it appears, Hillary was correct, and even those who run the coal industry see that, if they hadn’t already seen it before and merely kept silent so Trump would win and they would benefit.

Berkley Energy Group, a Kentucky coal company, has announced plans to build a solar farm on a reclaimed mountaintop removal coal mine which would bring both jobs and energy to the Appalachian region.

The company and its partners are planning to build their solar farm on two reclaimed strip mines to produce as much as 50 or 100 megawatts of electricity, which would be five to ten times the amount supplied by of Kentucky’s existing solar farm.

Ryan Johns, Berkley Energy Group project development executive, said that the company is not stopping coal production, but sees the project as land reclamation.

. “I grew up with coal. Our company has been in the coal business for 30 years. We are not looking at this as trying to replace coal, but we have already extracted the coal from this area.”

Meanwhile, The Kentucky Coal Mining Museum, which is owned by Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College, and houses four floors of coal mining equipment, memorabilia, and an actual underground mine that guests can walk through, is switching to solar because, as the museum’s Communications Director Brandon Robinson said.

Also, because natural gas is cheaper when it comes to producing electricity, and because of automation, coal extraction in Eastern Kentucky fell from 23 million tons in 2008 to about 5 million tons in 2016, while mining employment dropped from 14,373 to 3,833.

And those 10,540 jobs are not coming back no matter how loud the promise.

In spite of Trump’s promising that he would bring coal mining back and signing executive orders that sacrifice the mining communities’ health to fulfill that promise, even coal executives claim that the market for coal looks bleak and that Trump’s orders will do little to change that.

Former Kentucky Auditor Adam Edelen says the solar farm project is attractive because it would create new jobs for unemployed coal workers because of the partnership between renewable energy and coal.

Sounds rather Clintonian.

In spite of the Trump administration’s praise of fossil fuels, Red States like Texas, Iowa, and Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plains, are the top three states when it comes to installing wind capacity, followed by California and Kansas. For solar, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada lead the way.

So Red states and coal companies see the solar and wind provided light.

Hopefully the miners will too, now, and not sit around waiting in vain to be told to grab their shovels, pick axes, and headlights, and get into the coal mine cars.

They already held out and made one major mistake.

I am not a fan of Lists

??????????????

I had some information on Famous GLBT people that I would post for GLBT History Month every October for most of the years I taught in Oklahoma City. The high school principal, however, was afraid that if he would allow it to be posted in my classroom the same way such information was freely posted in any classroom, including my own, that a teacher so chose during Black, Asian, and Hispanic History/Heritage Months, or if teachers, including myself, chose to highlight role models in their classrooms even if the person was not specific their curriculum, to allow the same for GLBT people would bring down political and religious wrath upon him.

There was one instance of my wanting to have a history month display that was presented incorrectly by another teacher to her pastor so that he felt justified in alerting other area pastors who on a particular Sunday informed their parishioners that homosexuality was being taught at the high school which resulted in demands being made to abolish the course and fire the teacher. A meeting with pastors, the principal, and myself in the principal’s office cleared things up resulting in a quiet apology at that meeting for their rash judgment and the confusion they had caused among their flocks.

For some reason I was held responsible for the other teacher’s misrepresenting of the facts.

So as a compromise to my annual request for a display that year, and to eliminate the battle that annually ensued, upon the suggestion of the union a compromised was reached that would allow for an announcement during morning announcements that I had information on GLBT History and on handling Bullying, and anyone interested could come and ask for it when they felt it convenient or even safe. They could also request it any time they saw me, and I would get it to them.

This would be done during GLBT History Month instead of any display.

However, whereas other teacher submitted announcements merely required the teachers’ signatures as verification the announcement was legitimate, in this instance the principal unilaterally amended the agreed upon compromise adding the requirement that I had to also include the names of at least two GLBT Students, apparently so he could speak with them to verify they were Gay, and not just two students pretending to be so as to allow the announcement to be made based on that. The announcements were made without the verifying names read out loud, so this additional requirement was unnecessary and could be devastating if they student reading the morning announcements not only saw the student names, but chose to tell other students whose name he or she had seen. The fear of that alone could have ensured no students’ names would be attached guaranteeing no announcement would be made.

Reluctantly assuming this revealing of two students’ names was not his attention, I still felt it was threatening. Handing in a list of names no matter how short had an extremely terrifying meaning among Gay people in a hostile environment.

This no announcement without names and his unilateral amendment to the agreement began a new battle that involved myself, the principal, the Union, and eventually the Superintendent which lasted all of Gay history month so that when permission was finally granted the principal pointed out that the month was over, the announcement rendered irrelevant, so even with permission the announcement was useless to make, and it was suggested it be held in waiting until the following October.

Had I given the principal two names the announcement could have been made, but the thing about giving names is that once they are given whoever has the list can use it for whatever purpose they choose no matter how far away from the original purpose the list was compiled.

The two student names may have made the announcement possible, but it could have also made them potential victims of bullying as lists, no matter how carefully guarded, can get found or spread. It could also result in pressure being effectively applied so the two students might be forced to give even more names either because they were deceived into thinking it would be for the good of those whose names were given, as was the supposed initial reason for two names, or the list could be used against those whose names were on it.

People whose “tribe” has been victimized by names given, many times to reduce ill treatment, are not fond of giving names as there is no knowing how a list will be use, or if a new purpose will be dreamed up when the list exists.

We saw it happen to Gay people in th pat whose names being released costs them jobs an, housing, an family, and we saw how lists were applied in the McCarthy Era.

We could see it happen again when it comes to Muslims in America, and that would include all of them regardless how long and for how many generations they might have been living here.

Trump still wants his Muslim Registry, and there are those narrow minded enough to support this.

They are the people like those who face losing healthcare because they opposed Obamacare while loving the ACA and were fooled into voting against themselves.

They are like those who voted to get the immigrants out only to find that that included their spouses and other family members.

They are like those miners who voted to have jobs brought back like was promised only to have found out the jobs would be done by machines while they would be losing their miner health benefits that help them deal with Black Lung.

They are those who do not think a registry of others would never have any effect on them.

Until it happens.

Massachusetts State Senator Jamie Eldridge has proposed SD. 1596, and State Representative Juana Matias has proposed HD 3052, both known as the Massachusetts Safe Communities Act that would protect the civil right of all state residents by preventing our tax dollars from being used to fund President Trump’s harebrained idea of Making America Great Again by dividing families though deportation and creating a Muslim Registry.

This bill will do hat Massachusetts has been known for since John Adams wrote our state constitution, the first such document in the United States. It will prevent the slippery slope of going after one disliked group now, and allowing by precedent another group being stigmatized and hounded in the future.

We are a better state than that.

The proposed ACT would prohibit state support of a Muslim Registry; ensure Basic due process rights for people detained for civil immigration violations; and ensure that local police be allowed to protect and serve their neighbors in their own communities without the added duties of becoming federal agents.

It is time for our state legislators to step up and keep Massachusetts the state that it is.

Mescolate la mente

??????????????

My intention was a simple one.

I was on my way home from the orientation about this season’s exhibit at the museum at which I am  a volunteer docent, and as I would be driving past it, I decided t stop in at a particular bar and have a drink and, perhaps, some conversation with the bartender whom I consider a friend.

To this end, I entered the bar with my Mini-Ipad and sat a bar stool away from the other customers to allow me the peace to sit quietly, but not so far away as to be considered aloof, and check the posts on Facebook that were placed during the time it took to drive to and from the museum, and the length of the orientation and the little get together with the other docents after. While doing this I could make the occasional remark to the bartender and have what little conversation would be possible as he worked.

Things were going as planned until a person entered and took the empty seat between me and the closest patron to me.

From what I have observed in the past, he is a local guy whom everyone knows, and can be very acceptably friendly and social, provided politics is not the topic.

He, like the rest of us at the bar, is a Gay man, but he is one who is a strong supporter of Donald Trump and is clearly taken in by alternative facts. During the campaign, he would speak often about Trump as the best fiend to the GLBT Community, being unable to cite any proof to back up the claim, while at the same time condemning “Crooked Hillary” by simply repeating what Donald Trump claimed.

He obviously did not research to verify the anti-Hillary claims, but, instead, accepted them because they were voiced by Trump.

I had lost any respect for him, although any true respect had not yet been earned, when one night he was explaining to some young Gay men how good Trump would be for them and how bad Hillary would be without any data to verify this beyond a series of Trump quotes.

He was, for all intents and purposes, convincing them to vote against their own best interests.

Totally glossing over reality as to when the GLBT Community got many of its rights, some before these young people were born and many while they were too young to have known there was a time when they could be the objects of discrimination, could be bullied in school without protection or recourse, could have contracted and died of AIDS with no help from the government as it was God’s punishment for their being Gay, but could not marry the person they loved, this man spoke as if the rights had always been there, and that Donald Trump would make sure they would always have them. He omitted to explain that these rights had been obtained not through the largess of the government, but by the hard work of the older Gay generations, many of whom suffered in the battle, and that if the Community did not stay vigilant, those who resented the gaining of rights would do what they could to remove them.

Because they knew him and he went to and could name all the Bars in nearby Providence that they also frequented, they saw no reason to question his words.

In light of the removal of GLBT people from the 2020 census, something that could affect the proposing of and application of laws that impact the GLBT Community, the proposal to cut almost a half billion dollars from AIDS research, prevention, education, and treatment from the next budget, the Executive order removing employment protection from discrimination by federal contractors, keeping the Supreme Court seat empty until Trump could get an anti-Gay justice on the bench, and appointing a virulently anti-Gay person to head the Health and Human Service office of Civil Rights, a man who has written that Transgender people have no right to healthcare, it just bothers me when this man enters the bar greeting everyone he basically helped to betray, especially the young Gay men whose futures he may very well have gotten them to vote away.

His having come into the bar the day after the election to a room full of people who were not very happy and gloating that it was a great day for America, didn’t help my assessment of him.

So to have him end up sitting next to me had all the potential of ruining my night if he began talking about politics.

Which he did.

By an odd coincidence, but understandable by the nature of the city’s population, it became clear that he and the other patrons were Catholic as they spoke about the upcoming Easter masses and Holy Week service schedule, various churches, and priests they all knew and remembered.

No problem here as it was just a group of local people talking about local things.

And then, out of nowhere, he proclaimed that Sanctuary Cities should be condemned, and then rattled off all the misinformation one gets constantly from conservative outlets about the increase in crime rates where there are undocumented people, as opposed the actual studies that have shown the opposite.

When I asked for the sources of many of his pronouncements he explained that he reads what is the conservative newspaper in Boston and watches Fox News.

Typical of those who choose to limit their intake of current events to these two sources, rather than answer a question, he would reflexively change the topic, or answer it by not answering it.

After his prattling on about the falsehoods, I insisted, so that we were on the same page, he tell me how he defined Sanctuary Cities. If we had the same definition then we could approach from a common starting point, but if his definition were incorrect, then he would have to be straightened out, or we would be arguing apples and imaginary apples. I wanted to know his concept of Sanctuary Cities.

The tadalafil sample relation of this problem is with every 4 in 10 men you meet. Soffer’s expertise with bioidentical hormones tends to make him an invaluable asset here at AgeMD and reaffirms our commitment to performing with the best of its results. super levitra a very essential component in it which is Sildenafil citrate. The next step would be to disconnect the sildenafil discount fan. Breathing exercises are also known as mood swinger and keeps you alert in all the day. cialis professional australia However, instead of defining the term, he immediately began to bring up Mayor DeBlasio of New York City, and I had to interrupt and remind him that I had specifically asked him to define the term, but he was, instead, attempting to tell me about someone or perhaps someone else’s definition. I asked a second time for a definition, and he began to bring up Hillary Clinton.

Finally, ignoring my insistence on a definition, not a story, he decided to make his point of the evils of Sanctuary Cities by doing what his news sources do, take an irrelevant story, tell it like it is relevant, and ignore any flaws in the story or its application to the moment.

When I explained that Sanctuary Cities do not confer immunity on undocumented people and if they are arrested for committing a crime , they are prosecuted for it and receive the appropriate sentence which could mean deportation, he beamed as he thought I had given him the opening he wanted, and asked me then, how, if Sanctuary Cities do not let the undocumented get away with crime, I would explain the case of an undocumented person who had already committed a crime in this county and then sneaked back over the border and killed someone.

He would not accept, after telling his story, that in order to sneak back over the border, the man would have had to have been on the other side of it in order to come back over it. Obviously he had been arrested and deported, so his example was hardly an illustration that people can commit crimes without facing deportation. Ignoring that this situation is irrelevant to a Sanctuary City, he gave another similar one where a man had come across the border seven times and each time he had come back after he had been sent back.

By his refusal to accept there is a difference between Sanctuary Cities and border patrol problems, he was happy that I had been check mated by his cleverness.

For those as confused as he is let me explain that the local police have enough to do protecting and serving their communities. If in the normal course of dealing with a crime they come across someone who is here illegally, they will follow the established procedure. But what the local police in a Sanctuary City do not want to do, nor should be required to do, is become junior ICE Officers who, besides keeping their neighbors safe, have to take on the added duties of ICE officers.

They are not going to round people up, or raid establishments to hopefully find an “Illegal” in the crowd. This Gay man had never been in a raid “back in the day” when police would enter a Gay bar, line the patrons up against the wall, and demand to see IDs just to find the person without one so they could close the place down, or find the one underage kid so everyone in the bar would be arrested and charged as a pedophile with their names and addresses printed in the next day’s newspaper.

He would not accept that chiefs of police have explained that they do not want the people in their communities to be afraid to report crime, or report what they had seen so as to help solve one. He also refused to accept the statistics that there are actually fewer crimes in Sanctuary Cities because committing crimes would bring the undocumented into the spotlight to face deportation. And he absolutely would not accept the fact that Newton Massachusetts, a Sanctuary City, has been voted the Safest City in America.

Fox News and his newspaper of choice say that undocumented people come here to commit crime and take American jobs while enjoying the benefits of Welfare, food stamps, and Obamacare, and no real statistics can convince him he is accepting false information as truth.

So as this is the Easter season, and as he, obviously from his first conversation about Easter Week, believes in his religion and Jesus, let me offer this to him and those like him:

The basic story is that Joseph was woken by an angel in the middle of the night and told to get out of town. The Holy Family’s running off to Egypt was not a planned vacation or relocation, it was, in fact, not planned at all. It was an emergency and immediate action because Herod had commanded that every male child up to the age of two was to be killed to increase the odds that he would get the kid he was after.

And so the family fled to save the life of the child, one of the family members.

Much like what is done by refugees in war torn countries today.

But this child had an advantage.

His actual father was God, an omnipotent being, the creator of all things. However, in spite of the fact that He had the power to safeguard His own son if the family had stayed in their own country, He chose to have them flee.

Believers claim that His ways are not ours, his wonders to behold, and it is up to us to figure His thinking and actions out. So why have His kid’s family flee across the border to a safer country from which they could have been sent back and handed over to the authorities who were commanded to kill all those male children in the kingdom that bordered Egypt?

He gave an example of a refugee family, something He had within His power to make unnecessary, because He wanted us to know of the existence of refugees and why they flee, and, since they stayed so long in Egypt, also an example of the right way to act toward refugees- acceptance.

Otherwise, it could be that we are being distracted from the possibility that Joseph, being a carpenter in a land devoid of trees, had had to resort to a life of crime to support his family and was either on the run from the law, or was going where his crimes would produce better results.

Or, perhaps, he heard that Egypt had good jobs for treeless carpenters and went to take a job from some Egyptian.

Or maybe, just maybe he took his family out of harm’s way taking his chances that he and his family would make it there and be accepted in a new place.

So while this man was talking mass, churches, priests, the glories of the Easter season, and then claiming all refugees are criminals who want American jobs and the benefits of immunity when committing crimes in a Sanctuary City, he was unconsciously letting those in ear shot know that if it had been up to him, things would not have gone well for Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!!

He said he opposed hateful foreign ideologies

??????????????

In order to court the GLBT vote during the election campaign, as with every group he was courting, Donald Trump said things that he thought would win the Community over to him.

So while ignoring any Civil Right gains under Obama, and any for which Hillary may have had some co-responsibility , he kept saying that Hillary was friends with those countries that threw Gay men from the tops of buildings.

His reaction to the shooting at the Pulse night club became his example of the hatred toward Gays by Muslins that he would prevent if the GLBT people voted for him.

But he was carefully selective, as he could not threaten the Evangelical vote. So in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention his words were very constricted. While he wanted to woo one group he did not want to lose another.

“It’s time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me.”

And more to the point, this,

“Only weeks ago, in Orlando, Florida, 49 wonderful Americans were savagely murdered by an Islamic terrorist. This time, the terrorist targeted our LGBT community. As your President, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBT citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology.”

His words need to be noted. He said the protections would be from “FOREIGN IDEOLOGIES”, he never mentioned domestic ones. After all, he had already let the religious right include discrimination in the Republican Party Platform; he chose Mike Pence as his running mate, a man whose anti-Gay record is horrendous; promised to allow churches and individuals to discriminate against GLBT people; and put someone on the Supreme Court who would be just like the Anti-Gay Antonin Scallia.

In his fist hundred days he has removed GLBT people from the 2020 census, something that could affect the proposing of and application of laws that impact the GLBT Community; proposed an almost half billion dollar cut in AIDS research, prevention, education, and treatment from the next budget; signed an Executive order removing employment protection from discrimination by federal contractors; got an anti-Gay justice on the bench; and appointed a virulently anti-Gay person to head the Health and Human Service office of Civil Rights, a man who has written that Transgender people have no right to healthcare.

And even when it comes to those foreign ideologies, he misrepresented reality in his hopes that the GLBT Community might just accept his promise without checking facts, and some did, but most took a closer look and found that as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared on Human Rights Day in 2011 that “gay rights are human rights”.

At the World Congress of Families summit in Salt Lake City, the U.S. joined other equality-supporting countries and voted to appoint an independent expert at the United Nations who would investigate violence and discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation and gender identity, which got African antigay activists to urge Americans help end U.S. advocacy for gay rights globally by not electing Clinton.

Meanwhile, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council hosted Trump and Pence at the recent Values Voter Summit where he defended Uganda’s notorious “Kill the Gays” bill as an effort to “uphold moral conduct.”

Another ally, Gary Bauer, who, while working in the Reagan White House in 1987, fought to prevent the appointment of a “known homosexual” to the nation’s first AIDS commission because that would “give homosexuality a stamp of approval”, has said that Trump would be conservative Christians’ last chance to have a president who will promote the religious right’s  agenda. Did I mention the proposed budget cuts dealing with AIDS?

And, the foreign ideologies are actually limited to Islam because Vladimir Putin instituted antigay policies and Trump has said nothing.

Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper, has reported that Chechen authorities are arresting and killing gay men. The reason for the arrests is “their nontraditional sexual orientation, or suspicion of such”, and has resulted in 100 gay men being detained.

The only explanation for this news being false is what was offered by the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov is that

“You cannot arrest or repress people who just don’t exist in the republic. If such people existed in Chechnya, law enforcement would not have to worry about them, as their own relatives would have sent them to where they could never return. ”

A Moscow-based gay rights group had applied for permits to stage gay pride parades in four North Caucasus regions which includes Chechnya, but had not applied in Chechnya.

The Northern Caucus regions of Russia are traditionally Muslim, and Putin empowered leaders there to press agendas to co-opt an Islamist underground.

According to Novaya Gazeta,

 “In Chechnya, the command was given for a ‘prophylactic sweep’ and it went as far as real murders.”

The method used was to make contact with closeted men on the internet, and then arresting them. The arrestees were n “flaunting their life-style” as the antiquated phrase was in the United States to justify arrests in the past, and if they had not been approached, would have remained in the shadows.

Again from Novaya Gazeta,

“Of course, none of these people in any way demonstrated their sexual orientation publicly — in the Caucasus, this is equal to a death sentence.”

President Trump knows about this, and Russia’s indifference to events should strike him as being just as hateful as the countries he spoke about when courting the GLBT vote. The lawless detentions, arrests, torture, and murders are unacceptable, and President should not remain silent.

He condemned Hillary for her alleged tacit acceptance of the torture and murder of GLBT people in Muslim countries.  He needs to make it clear that as he claimed it was wrong for Hillary, he will speak out against it himself, or he is more like the image of Hillary that he promoted.

He needs to condemn this hateful foreign ideology that has been established in Russia.

 

The Trump White House plans (?) the annual Easter Egg Roll

IMAG0846

Did you ever get into a line at the supermarket where there are already people in it, and the person just in front of you is standing there waiting patiently as people further up in line unload their shopping carts and pay after everything is rung up, but when it is their turn, they have no problem unloading their cart and stand there until it is all rung up, and then reach for their wallet which apparently is never in the same pocket since they have to pat all of them to find it, or rummage through a purse as they decide if they will pay with cash, a credit or debit card, or, if you are in hell, a check. It’s as if paying has come as a total surprise to them even though they watched everyone in front of them pay after everything was rung up, and it never dawned on them to get their payment method out as their food rode along the conveyor belt.

There is no surprise. They are going to have to pay, so they should be ready, not surprised.

That is the White House this year as they seem to have been caught totally by surprise that Easter is this Sunday, and there has been an Easter Egg Roll at the White House with all its pageantry for the last 138 years.

The first sign of possible trouble was when no order was placed with the wood turning company that makes the wooden Easter eggs that are used on Easter and can be purchased on the internet as mementos, even after the company had notified the White House that it was time to order them and supply any specifics like number, colors, and logo.

Local school children, the children and constituents of members of congress, along with military families are among those usually invited, but no invitations went out in any timely fashion.

Children’s television and fairy tale characters were not hired, as the companies who supply them had heard nothing, and the call for volunteers was not sent out in a way that gave people time to put this on their schedules. No one is going to just wait around hoping to get the request, so they went on to other events.

Certainly she has a staff, and, although she is there so Baron can finish the school year, she has time to do things while he’s at school. This could be one of those things.

There are a few thousand kids and their families who come to the Egg Roll event. There has to be refreshments and volunteers to help things run smoothly. You have to have entertainment for kids of all ages.

And, needless to say, there have to be eggs to roll.

If they didn’t order the wooden ones, or if they were ordered too late to make large scale production possible, someone has quite a few eggs to hard boil and dye over the next few days

It is not looking too good at this point.

If Jesus worked in this White House, boy, would He have had a surprise this coming Friday.

It’s okay. He was one of us.

I live in a county in Massachusetts where, to hear the county sheriff tell it, we are in some sort of war zone where undocumented immigrants are wandering the streets committing whatever crime is being committed. They are flooding the streets knowing they can get away with it, and, in spite of statistics to the contrary, his proof of this, as he revealed at a recent forum on immigrants at a local law school, are the many phone calls he gets from his friends who verify this.

He justified anti-Muslim animus by citing 9/11 as evidence that terrorism is a Muslim thing, choosing to simply erase the Oklahoma City Bombing from the record of terrorist events that have taken place in the United States. There were, according to his narrative, apparently, no terrorist attacks prior to 9/11, and no further ones took place until the Boston Marathon Bombing.

To justify his attitude toward undocumented immigrants and Muslims, and to show that the refugees from countries where they have suffered at the hand of ISIS are terrorists, he omitted the fact that the OKC Bombing had ever happened and had attempted to cleverly imply that any act of terrorism that took place between the two events he cited as the proof needed to round up brown and non-Christians were perpetrated by those people.

He was careful not to remind the audience that the bomber in Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh, was a White Christian.

Mass shootings to him and many of those like him seem only to be done by foreigners here illegally or who are members of the wrong religion, while skipping blithely over the reality that school shootings and those at churches we have seen over the years were done mostly by White people, many of them members of the “right” religion.

When the perpetrators of the actions are not of either of these categories, Brown or Muslim, nothing is mentioned about nationality or religion, and people just make the assumption that they just have to be Muslim, something that could be corrected by the relevant facts , or the story dies quickly.

According to U.S. News and World Report,

“Of the more than 300 American deaths from political violence and mass shootings since 9/11, only 33 have come at the hands of Muslim-Americans. The Muslim-American suspects or perpetrators in these or other attempted attacks fit no demographic profile—only 51 of more than 200 are of Arabic ethnicity. In 2012, all but one of the nine Muslim-American terrorism plots uncovered were halted in early stages. That one, an attempted bombing of a Social Security office in Arizona, caused no casualties”.

We have been conditioned to ignore the possibility that mass killings, or what we automatically label an “Act of Terrorism” until we are corrected, could be committed by the Ku Klux Klan, Mormon extremists, Fourth Reich Skinheads, The Aryan Nation, or any number of militia groups.

We NEED them to be done by Muslims, though. It promotes the politicians’ claims and gives us confirmation for our bigotry.

When the shootings happened a year ago at the Christmas party in San Bernadino CA, we heard constantly about any connection it might have had to Islamic Extremists. When eyewitness accounts differed from the wanted narrative, they were ignored in favor of the opinions of experts.

When Dylan Roof shot up a church, he was a lone wolf with a problem, as was the Sandy Hook shooter.

But if one Muslim commits the same act, he/she represents quite a few million people.

Of approximately 2,400 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil it has been determined that approximately 60 were carried out by Muslims.

Here’s a very current prime example of this Muslim blaming while saying nothing about religion, race, or politics if the person is other than Muslim.

A teacher and a student lost their lives in a horrific murder-suicide at a San Bernardino elementary school Monday. The shooter’s Facebook page had multiple references to God, not Allah, religion and guns, and how Black churches have been too lenient allowing “former gangsters, pimps, hoes and the simple minded” to enter, so that they have become “filled with witchcraft.”

The media hasn’t mentioned his religious affiliation. He was a Christian pastor according to his now blocked FB page.

And whereas, when a lone Muslim, or a small group of them, commits a heinous act, we ask why the millions of other Muslims are not speaking out as we ignore the thousands who do. But in this case, and those perpetrated by Christians in the past, no one is asking about the lack of Christian outrage. As a matter of fact, in the Sandy Hook shooting, those outraged by Muslim killings are doing everything they can to prove what happened didn’t.

On the nightly news, we hear such descriptions of a suspect as “A Black youth” “A Hispanic”, or “an Immigrant”, but when do we hear “A White youth”?

So statistics show that while we are worried about Muslims, it is actually White and in many cases Christian men we should be looking out for.

People like my county sheriff.

This shooting in San Bernadino was not a Muslim, but a Christian pastor.

Outrage?

Quiet at best.
