The Bee...or the reality of the left?-----Man In Critical Condition After Hearing Slightly Differing Viewpoint | The Babylon Bee
Man In Critical Condition After Hearing Slightly Differing Viewpoint | The Babylon Bee: GLENDALE, CA—A man was rushed to the hospital yesterday after encountering a slightly different viewpoint than his own....Witnesses say the man was having a casual conversation about politics with another patron when the minutely opposing viewpoint was expressed.
"They were both Democrats, Bernie supporters," said Janice Hughson, a barista at the Java Lounge.
"Then the guy he was talking to said he had some issues with abortion and thinks there should at least be a few limitations put on the practice.
That's when the man seized up and began foaming at the mouth. It was terrible."
Four other bystanders were also emotionally injured by the moderately divergent opinion but were not hospitalized.
...The man who suggested the slightly differing opinion fled the scene.
Anyone with information is asked to alert the authorities."

Gohmert: Dems Will Drag Out Impeachment -- Try to Get 'Best Socialist' Nominated for President | Breitbart
During an appearance on Huntsville, AL radio’s WVNN on Thursday, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) offered his best assessment of what House Democrats were trying to accomplish with their impeachment efforts.
Gohmert told WVNN’s “The Jeff Poor Show” impeachment could tie up the Democratic Party’s presidential campaign efforts but predicted Democrats would use the occasion to nominate “the best socialist” they can.

"My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum.
They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”
Here’s my answer:
We Right-thinking people have tried dignity.
And the results were always the same.
This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.
I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party...
...The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s.
...With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end.
Donald Trump is America’s first wartime president in the Culture War.
...Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today.
Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”...

They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.” Here’s my answer:
We Right-thinking people have tried dignity.
- There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.
- We tried statesmanship. Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?
- We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?
And the results were always the same.

ICE warns illegal immigrants facing murder, child sex offense charges could be released in North Carolina sanctuary cities | Fox News
ICE warns illegal immigrants facing murder, child sex offense charges could be released in North Carolina sanctuary cities | Fox News
"...Illegal immigrants facing charges for murder, child sex offenses, rape, drug trafficking and robbery could be released onto the streets across North Carolina due to "sanctuary" policies that shield undocumented criminals from deportation, federal authorities are warning.
The notice comes from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is stepping up its public campaign against sanctuary policies, under which cities and counties refuse to cooperate with ICE detainers.
Those detainers are requests for local jurisdictions to notify ICE to an illegal immigrant's release, and then hold onto them until authorities can take them into custody and deport them.
"[W]hen local jurisdictions refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement, they not only betray their duty to protect public safety, but force ICE to be more visible in those areas," the agency said in a statement, asking the jurisdictions to "transfer these individuals to federal custody instead of releasing them to the community where they may reoffend."
...But ICE officials stress that sanctuary policies mean that whenever they do finish their sentence, those with convictions are likely to be released under sanctuary policies without ICE getting so much as a phone call.
In blaring bold-faced letters above each defendant's mugshot, is a warning from ICE: "MAY BE RELEASED INTO YOUR COMMUNITY."...

The Mexicanization of American Law Enforcement: The drug cartels extend their corrupting influence northward. | City Journal
"Beheadings and amputations. Iraqi-style brutality, bribery, extortion, kidnapping, and murder.
More than 7,200 dead—almost double last year’s tally—in shoot-outs between federales and often better-armed drug cartels.
This is modern Mexico, whose president, Felipe Calderón, has been struggling since 2006 to wrest his country from the grip of four powerful cartels and their estimated 100,000 foot soldiers.
But chillingly, there are signs that one of the worst features of Mexico’s war on drugs—law enforcement officials on the take from drug lords—is becoming an American problem as well.
Most press accounts focus on the drug-related violence that has migrated north into the United States. Far less widely reported is the infiltration and corruption of American law enforcement, according to Robert Killebrew, a retired U.S. Army colonel and senior fellow at the Washington-based Center for a New American Security.
“This is a national security problem that does not yet have a name,” he wrote last fall in The National Strategy Forum Review.
The drug lords, he tells me, are seeking to “hollow out our institutions, just as they have in Mexico.”...

Chicago's murder epidemic: Crime rate proves city isn't doing enough
Chicago's murder epidemic: Crime rate proves city isn't doing enough
"Last month, President Trump visited my hometown of Chicago to speak at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference.
Sadly, the city’s top cop, Superintendent Eddie Johnson, skipped his event that day in protest.
But he, and Chicago’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot, should have attended to hear some hard truths.
Trump has been criticizing Chicago leadership since 2016 for allowing the violence to become one of the worst in the world, earning the title in 2015 as America’s mass-shooting capital, and he continued to highlight Chicago’s problems during the conference.
In my reporting for Fox News, the people I have spoken with feel so under siege by the gun violence that this tiny drop doesn’t even register to them, and any talk from a politician who mentions the reduction in murders is a smack in their face because going on their front porch could be a death sentence..."

- In response, Chicago’s mayor suggested Trump focus on his issues in DC, and the liberal press touted the decrease in violence in Chicago in some apparent attempt to prove how out of touch Trump is.
- The decrease? Through the end of October, there have been 2,242 shooting victims and 424 murders in Chicago. Last year, we had 2,462 shooting victims and 478 murders over the same period.

UC Berkeley instructor calls rural Americans 'bad people who have made bad life decisions’ - TheBlaze:
Jackson Kernion, a graduate student who has taught at least 11 philosophy courses at the university, posted that he "unironically embrace[s] the bashing of rural Americans."
"They, as a group, are bad people who have made bad life decisions," he said in the since-deleted tweet. "Some, I assume, are good people. But this nostalgia for some imagined pastoral way of life is stupid and we should shame people who aren't pro-city."

"WHAT’S MOST NOTABLE IS THAT THAT THEY’VE BECOME A BASTION OF BAD IDEAS IS TAKEN FOR GRANTED: Erik Gilbert: How Ed Schools Became a Bastion of Bad Ideas.
In three words, ignorant, mediocre, authoritarianism.--Posted byA few years ago, when I was on my university’s Graduate Council, a new course proposal came to us from our College of Education. The proposal referred to the different learning styles of students, something that struck me as odd — I remembered having heard years before that the learning-styles theory had been discredited....
...Evidence shows that virtually anyone can learn to read if they are taught to associate letters with particular sounds (phonics) and that trying to teach students to read using the whole language approach works poorly. Still, colleges of education continue to resist phonics. . . .
There are real costs to these inertial, anti-scientific ways. Researchers warn that trying to accommodate students’ beliefs about their own learning styles may actually make it harder for them to learn. The fact that fewer than 40 percent of American eighth graders are proficient readers is partially attributable to educators’ dogged opposition to phonics. . . .
Ed school graduates now occupy a growing role in academic administration, especially at lower-tier schools, and they are bringing an ed-school mentality with them.

Kristallnacht- Nov. 9-10, 1938; The Night The Holocaust Began - The Lid
- Do Not Stand Idly By While Your Neighbor Bleeds~ Vayikra (Leviticus)
Kristallnacht was the day Hitler’s final solution “came out of the closet” with anti-Jewish riots in Germany, Austria, and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia.
Kristallnacht is viewed by many historians as the beginning of the Jewish genocide of the Holocaust.
The attacks were carried out by Hitler Youth, the Gestapo, and the SS.
Kristallnacht also served as a pretext and a means for the wholesale confiscation of firearms from German Jews and was part of a broader Nazi policy of Antisemitism and persecution of the Jews. Kristallnacht was followed by further anti-Semitic economic, political abuses and horrible genocide..."
