Popularity of the Name ‘Muhammad’ in Europe Is an Element of Jihad | Homeland Security

Popularity of the Name ‘Muhammad’ in Europe Is an Element of Jihad | Homeland Security
"Muhammad is slowly gaining ground against the infidels -- and in their own homelands. 
As one recent report notes, the German city of Bremen is the first in the country for which it is the most popular name for newborn boys.

It’s the same in other Western European cities. 

“Mohammed [is the] most popular name for newborn boys in the Netherlands for second year in a row,” reads another recent report.   

Muhammad is also the most popular name in England. 

In fact, Muhammad is one of the most popular names throughout Northwest Europe; where the name is not most popular, it is among the tops: “Mohammed is already the 3rd most popular baby name in Vienna.”

While this may seem innocuous enough -- what’s in a name? -- the fact is many Muslims see their offspring as their contribution to the jihad, the “struggle” to make Islam supreme, since more numbers equate more influence and power. 
The popularity of “Muhammad” is not a fad, but a message from the parents (usually the father) concerning whom they most revere and hope their sons emulate: the founder of Islam/jihad..."

Starbucks Employees Say 'Bias' Training Was Mostly Anti-Cop Propaganda - Blue Lives Matter

Starbucks Employees Say 'Bias' Training Was Mostly Anti-Cop Propaganda - Blue Lives Matter
"Philadelphia, PA – Employees of color who attended the highly-publicized “unconscious bias training” for Starbucks employees on Tuesday have reported it was more of a lesson on police brutality than anything else.
Starbucks closed 8,000 stores for several hours on May 30 to facilitate seminars for its employees after the coffee shop was at the forefront of a racial controversy in April.
“It felt like we were off task the entire time because we didn’t reflect on the situation itself,” a black 18-year-old Starbucks employee called “Tina” told Philadelphia Magazine.
“The training materials focused a lot on police brutality, which had nothing to do with the incident that happened,” Tina said..."

White Privilege Has Become A Religion, Complete With Church Ladies

White Privilege Has Become A Religion, Complete With Church Ladies
"John McWhorter examines the religious nature of racial “wokeness” in an insightful essay published in The American Interest, and finds it bears some resemblances to the Christian worldview, albeit without the hope of redemption or forgiveness.
“The parallels with Christianity are almost uncannily rich,” he writes. 
“White privilege is the secular white person’s Original Sin, present at birth and ultimately ineradicable. 
One does one’s penance by endlessly attesting to this privilege in hope of some kind of forgiveness.”
The religion of social justice and wokeness is stern, however, with little hope of redemption, love or reconciliation. 
...Wokeness is a religion of judgment, and the preachers have only contempt for their (white) flock. 
...Forgiveness is hard to obtain from the strange gods of this new faith, for reasons McWhorter’s excellent essay only begins to explore..."

Stick to Netflix, Barack, and keep up the fiction, Bubba - Washington Times:

"And then, finally, there is the erstwhile peddler of Hope and Change. That turned into Grim and Blame during his eight years in office. Now that he and his entire godless agenda has been rejected by voters, Barack Obama has become a washed up, elderly rock star who can no longer play or sing.
Watching the man who would gut his unpopular — not to mention un-Constitutional and un-American — agenda assume office, Mr. Obama reflected: “Sometimes I wonder whether I was 10 or 20 years too early.”
Again, the modesty. Really, sir, you are killing us with your modesty."

Disney/ABC Should Merge with Starbucks and the NFL

Disney/ABC Should Merge with Starbucks and the NFL
"Disney/ABC, Starbucks, and the NFL should merge, as they are this week’s prime example of how to drive away customers while engaged in absurd CEO virtue signaling. 

I never watch television. 
Its news is a waste of time, with well-groomed, overpaid readers and hokey camera coverage that takes an hour to cover what 10 minutes of a well-written article can better convey. 
Take the news coverage itself: The EU is falling apart, the talks with North Korea are on and it looks like war will be averted and another country denuclearized, and the Mueller investigation seems more ridiculous than ever. 
The economy looks so strong that even the NYT’s Neil Irwin conceded words were almost inadequate to describe an economy so strong that it was adding 223,000 jobs in a month, an unemployment rate falling to 3.8 percent, an 18-year low. 
Contrast this with what this week’s news has been emphasizing.

Compare all the coverage of the royal wedding in Britain with the far more important story that a reporter was secretly jailed for 18 months because he was standing outside a UK courtroom describing the trial of what is euphemistically called men who “groomed” young girls, when the actual description is Muslim men raping and sex trafficking young girls under the averted eyes of the state apparatus tasked with protecting them.

The primary issue is that for years the British state allowed gangs of men to rape thousands of young girls across Britain. For years the police, politicians, Crown Prosecution Service, and every other arm of the state ostensibly dedicated to protecting these girls failed them. As a number of government inquires have concluded, they turned their face away from these girls because they were terrified of the accusations of racism that would come their way if they did address them. They decided it wasn’t worth the aggravation..."

A B.S. STATISTIC THAT ALMOST THE ENTIRE MEDIA WORLD RAN WITH

"A B.S. STATISTIC THAT ALMOST THE ENTIRE MEDIA WORLD RAN WITH: Did exactly 4,645 people die in Hurricane Maria? 
Nope.

In effect, the researchers took one number – 15 deaths identified from a survey of 3,299 households – and extrapolated that to come up with 4,645 deaths across the island. That number came with a very large caveat, clearly identified in the report, but few news media accounts bothered to explain the nuances.

That’s because they’re hacks, and thought it might make Trump look bad. Instead, of course, it just bolsters his “fake news” narrative. Because, you know, it’s basically fake news.

Here’s what they actually found:

Does your study say that 4,645 died? The answer: “No. We provide a 95% confidence interval of 793 to 8,498, and 4,645 falls in the middle of this range.”

Between 793 and 8,498 is a range so broad that it’s basically meaningless. 
But hey, narrative..."

"Uncomfortable" Starbucks Employees Respond To Becoming "World's Biggest Public Toilet" | Zero Hedge:
"...Yet other employees were turned off by the whole thing.

One black barista in Connecticut told The Journal "it's just to save face. It doesn't mean anything." 

Another barista from Ohio who is white said that he found the training "wishy-washy," and that "I went in with an open mind. I was hoping we'd go through scenarios of how customers might feel in certain scenario and how to make them not feel that way."...
Starbucks said there will be continuing education around diversity and bias, but the company hasn’t shared details of what that will entail. 
In doing so, it risks alienating the silent majority of employees who are already on the fence about the company's virtue signalling policies:

“The baristas are already doing five or 10 things, including taking out the garbage and cleaning the bathrooms,” said Prater.

“We’re already struggling to provide the bare minimum of customer service, so when you throw in this, how do we even do this? This is a lot.”...

Visa Card Payments System Returns to Full Capacity after Crash

"Visa demonstrated the drawbacks of a cashless society yesterday when a hardware failure prevented cardholders across the UK and Europe from making purchases. 
The company has clarified that the error, now fully resolved, had nothing to do with hackers.
Millions of people were left unable to pay for goods and services across Europe after the unprecedented crash, which began at around 2.30pm.
 Visa apologized late on Friday, saying it had fallen "well short" of its goal to ensure cards worked reliably at all times."

Anti-HPV jab will be given to teenage boys... but only if they identify as girls so that 'they fit in with their peers'

• For past decade girls have been vaccinated against HPV infection on the NHS 
• Now the lifesaving cancer vaccine will be offered to boys who identify as girls 
• Vaccine protects against human papillomavirus which causes various cancers

The NHS will give a lifesaving cancer vaccine to teenage boys – but only if they ‘identify’ as girls, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. 

New official advice makes clear that transgender girls – that is, those born male – will be offered the Gardasil jab so they fit in with ‘their peers’. 
However, boys will continue to be denied the vaccine, which protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes cervical cancer among other forms of the disease..."

The Democrats' frightening embrace of socialism - Chicago Tribune

The Democrats' frightening embrace of socialism - Chicago Tribune:
"Speaking at an event last week in New York City, Hillary Clinton said something interesting about Democrats today and their lurch to the left.
Clinton said being a capitalist “probably” hurt her when campaigning against democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in 2016.
Think about that.
Part of the reason so many Republicans are frozen like deer in headlights when it comes to President Donald Trump is the horror of thinking about Clinton as president.
It is stunning to realize how in today's Democratic Party, being a capitalist is something one must either apologize for or at least give qualified acceptance.
Talk about nostalgia for the 1950s.
It seems that socialism is making a comeback.
...Democrats want to talk about Republicans living in the past, but the new progressives, as they like to call themselves, are in fact a lot like the old socialists. 
They want free college, free cash, free health care, new mandates for this and that, and so on.
The latest progressive policy du jour gaining traction among Democratic Party presidential hopefuls is the so-called “job guarantee.”...

In Stockton, Calif., crime does pay as Universal Basic Income goes into effect

In Stockton, Calif., crime does pay as Universal Basic Income goes into effect:
"Liberal progressive cities across the country are in dire straits. 
They are short on funds, high on unemployment and homelessness, and lack free market small government ideas. Stockton, Calif. is the latest progressive haven to push leftist ideas to solve problems it created.
Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs has two proposals sure to turn heads around the country, and not for the reason he wants.
Tubbs would like to initiate a universal basic income pilot program and another program called Advance Peace. 
Both programs do nothing but show the citizens not participating that crime pays and it is ok not to try and find a job because the government will take care of you.
Universal basic income is the latest scheme by progressives to redistribute paychecks...
The Advance Peace initiative is the dream child of DeVone Boggan.
Founded in 2010, the premise is that the majority of crime in a given area is committed by a select few.
If these criminals could be bought off with $1,000 monthly payments, the crime rates would drop.
Proponents of the program call the payments stipends, but federal prosecutors used to call this extortion.
Being paid not to commit crimes sounds a lot like what Charles “Lucky” Luciano did in the 1930s..."

Are We Free to Discuss America's Real Problems? - Imprimis

Are We Free to Discuss America's Real Problems? - Imprimis
"There is a lot of abstract talk these days on American college campuses about free speech and the values of free inquiry, with plenty of lip service being paid to expansive notions of free expression and the marketplace of ideas. 
What I’ve learned through my recent experience of writing a controversial op-ed is that most of this talk is not worth much. 
It is only when people are confronted with speech they don’t like that we see whether these abstractions are real to them.
The op-ed, which I co-authored with Larry Alexander of the University of San Diego Law School, appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer on August 9 under the title, “Paying the Price for the Breakdown of the Country’s Bourgeois Culture.” 
It began by listing some of the ills afflicting American society:

• Too few Americans are qualified for the jobs available. Male working-age labor-force participation is at Depression-era lows. 
• Opioid abuse is widespread. 
• Homicidal violence plagues inner cities. 
• Almost half of all children are born out of wedlock, and even more are raised by single mothers. Many college students lack basic skills, and high school students rank below those from two dozen other countries.

We then discussed the “cultural script”—a list of behavioral norms—that was almost universally endorsed between the end of World War II and the mid-1960s:

• Get married before you have children and strive to stay married for their sake. 
• Get the education you need for gainful employment, work hard, and avoid idleness. Go the extra mile for your employer or client. 
• Be a patriot, ready to serve the country. 
• Be neighborly, civic-minded, and charitable. 
• Avoid coarse language in public. 
• Be respectful of authority. 
• Eschew substance abuse and crime.

These norms defined a concept of adult responsibility that was, we wrote, “a major contributor to the productivity, educational gains, and social coherence of that period.” ...
