New school named for Obama opens in struggling Normandy School District
PINE LAWN • Naming a new elementary school after President Barack Obama proved at the school’s dedication ceremony Sunday to be appropriate in more ways than one for the struggling Normandy School District.
The idea to name the school after the nation’s first African-American president came from the students.
“Barack Obama Elementary School represents the hopes and aspirations of the students who will go to school here,” said Superintendent Stanton Lawrence.
The pristine 65,000-square-foot school in Pine Lawn also represents hope for a district teetering on the edge of losing state accreditation and a community riddled with poverty and crime.
Really? Count me shocked. The good news is that nobody can draw a metaphor between the Normandy District and the country at large.
Or maybe you can — Normandy used to be THE premiere and most desirable school district in North County, a very long and whiter time ago.
While we weren’t looking, one of Occidental Civilization’s oldest and most important cities is literally turning inside out, at the hands of the high-melanin usual suspects.
Like most black riots in most Western cities, they started as a result of a conflagration between law enforcement and a black criminal suspect.
Unfortunately, young white leftists and a spattering of ne’er-do-well whites are getting in on the action, partially for political purposes and partially to steal stuff.
Nick Griffin suggests that these riots have resulted in the worst fires in London since The Blitz. See the last two photos in this first URL for proof.
I am convinced there are two different Glenn Becks.
The one that does the radio show and the website are relatively sane and level-headed, sometimes funny, irrevverant, usefully informative, and makes a lot of friends.
The one that does TV and live appearances, on the other hand, just lives to piss everyone off, makes enemies just for the sake of making enemies, and gives James Edwards a lot of material.
I’d like to know which one is real, if either one. I’m tired of him sending all these mixed messages.
I was able to listen to the last half hour of his radio show today, and he parlayed the anti-white race riots at the Wisconsin State Fair near Milwaukee into a incident that happened near him this weekend as (appropriately enough) he and his family was watching the new version of Planet of the Apes at a theater. He said he sat down close to an obnoxious black man and some woman who seemed to be his wife, and he wouldn’t shut up even while the movie was playing. He got so bad with his yammering that a couple of other white people nearby asked him politely to quiet down, and he went into an even louder tirade, this time calling those white people and all the white people around him (the Becks included) “cracker” and other anti-White racial pejoratives. Beck then noted the obvious racial double standard — He nor any other white person could yell at black patrons in a movie room using the n-word without it becoming an international incident (and might I add, a fulcrum for SPLC fund raising letters.)
Of course I agreed, but my jaw just about fell to the floor when I heard him say this.
Did Glenn Beck forget he was supposed to be anti-racist? Did he forget that he and only he has exposed to the world all these great “black founding fathers” and the “perfidy” of “liberal historians” in “hiding them from us?” When in reality, if there was any hint of any real black founding fathers, all the liberals who run history departments at colleges and universities would have them be household names. The truth is that leftist historians de-legitimize the American founding period and do their best to erase it from most history texts because they can’t find a way to make to diverse. Sure, you might be conned into believing that the 54th Massachusetts was the main reason the Union won the WBTS, that the Buffalo Soldiers won WWI for the Allies, that the Tuskegee Airmen won WWII, and that Colin Powell single-handedly won Iraq I.
Did Glenn Beck forget that almost a year ago, he all but literally got on his knees to pleasure some niece of Martin Luther King in front of hundreds of thousands of people on the National Mall?
The last time Dave Glover (4-7 PM, 97.1 FM locally) filled in for Glenn Beck on his radio show, he relayed a semi-private conversation he had with Beck, about how he wished he could go back to being only a semi-political radio personality that cracks a lot of jokes. For those nationally who only know Glover as a Beck fill in, Glover’s own show in St. Louis on the same station as Beck is on is like that, only Glover is rarely political. Hell, one of his sidekicks has a stage name that sounds like “Turd Rock” if you say it quickly, and Glover usually does. (I know, it’s Terbrock.) I can understand Beck’s frustration — Back in his radio-only days, he was making a nice chunk of money and having a good time doing it, cracking jokes about Michael Bloomberg’s trans-fat prohibition. Once he got into TV and live appearances, it was a combination of both his philo-Semitism and anti-racism that made everyone mad, from most American Jews, to left-wing whites, to very right-wing whites, and even the lamestream right sometimes wondered if he was playing with a full deck.
A lot of people gravely misunderstand Jared Taylor’s insouciance toward Jewish issues — The Jews think he excuses white right-wing anti-Semitism if not actually endorses it, and the white right-wing anti-Semites think he’s a Jewish suck-up and a traitor. In reality, Jared Taylor is really neither, because he doesn’t want any part of the Jewish/Zionist/Israel issue base. Glenn Beck found out the hard way — It’s a high voltage third rail. If you’re a gentile and you touch it in any way, whether to destroy it (anti-Semitism) or to stroke it amicably and gently like you would your pet dog or cat (Philo-Semitism), you will get electrocuted.
Yeah, Glenn Beck on TV made a lot of money, but he needlessly made a lot more enemies in the process. What good was all that money to buy a mansion when he had to live behind armed guards 24/7 both in it and out in public? Man cannot live on bread alone.
See, we’re just a bunch of ignorant rubes who don’t understand the beauty of this plan. I bet it’s all some sort of clever law enforcement sting to catch the real bad guys. Just like Fast & Furious.
* The Police Chief of Collinsville won’t enforce a stupid and unenforceable ordinance, but he won’t do it for precisely the wrong reason. Follow this logic out to its perhaps reductio ad absurdum end, and he won’t arrest anyone for murder because laws against murder could lead to racial profiling have a disparate impact on blacks.
* Cute. There is no crime, only the perception of crime. And the first time a perceived robbery seems to go bad in an apparently fatal way, seemingly spilling yuppie blood on what look to be the sidewalks of Washington Avenue, it’ll turn into a ghost town overnight. In reality.
* That was the down side of the segregationist system — Law-abiding blacks were left out in the cold. Likewise, this is the downside of the in-all-but-name neo-segregationist system that the diversity loving white liberals in University City are implementing piece by piece — Law-abiding teenagers are SOL.
The Library of Congress still has a dress code, I think. Then again, I could be wrong — It’s in that city full of civil rights and social justice, so they might let naked men in by now. Not doing so would be discrimination.

* No, I’m not going to talk about the arrogant Ketchup Man of Boston demanding that opposing viewpoints not be heard. Like I said a few days ago on a similar matter, the left wing in this country is coming absolutely unhinged, and the element of that increasingly more unhinged left that happens to have shows on ratingsless cable channels need to say crazier and crazier things by the day just to get attention. I don’t reward publicity seeking behavior.
By the way, the arrogant Ketchup Man in question, the one who strutted into a gun shop in Ohio or Pennsylvania (swing state, conveniently) during his Presidential campaign and asked in fake rural accent, “can I get me a huntin license?” and the one who was born into money and married even more money, ergo he has never had to worry about coming up with the money to pay a bill in his life, really shouldn’t be lecturing anybody.
* NM-2 will probably stay red in 2012. Then again, in the defense of Mr. Resendiz, he is the Mayor of Sunland Park, New Mexico, close to El Paso and Juarez. I doubt the domestic water supply is safe, so you kinda have to drink alcohol.
* One of the perpetrators in the suburban Baltimore restroom hate crime has copped a plea deal, first-degree assault with hate riders.
Again, they won’t tell us on which grounds the hate crimes charges were either filed or disposed. We know the victim is TG, so we’re left to assume that the enmity was based on orientation. But why won’t they come out and say that? I happen to think the real motive was race, and the anti-white lobby and the pink lobby are teaming up to use the victim’s lifestyle preference as a diversion.
Teenagers or young adults are outsourcing their work to these 8-year olds. Carve it in stone, and don’t doubt me. There’s no way they’d charge an 8-year old as an adult for any crime, that’s the reason.

* Official France wants to investigate the new IMF head, the one that replaced DSK. I think they’re investigating her because she has links to Obama, and the possibility is still out there that Obama et al. set up DSK, or at least the French think that. Don’t doubt me.
You’ve heard the phrase “Never mess with the King’s taxes?” I guess we can also add “Never mess with the King’s ability to borrow money,” for the same reason. Telling the truth about a government’s credit worthiness is always risky business, because governments have a legal monopoly on the use of force. I wonder what sort of bitchy payback the Obama White House is going to have for S&P.
* I doubt money is the real reason why this hospital stopped doing gender-determination sonograms. I think there was some sort of racial/immigrant/sex selection angle, that somehow if the expectant parents thought that the new bundle of joy was going to be a girl, that they would commit infanticide after her grand entrance into the world.
* I was joking when I said that people have more civil rights inside a British prison than as a “free” person in British society. Turns out I really wasn’t. Remember, this is said to be one of Britain’s most strict hoosegows.
* Results of Britain’s death penalty e-petition. I have been telling you in this space for a long time that some white country that did repudiate the death penalty at some point in the past will bring it back sooner than we think. This e-petition will likely mean that the House of Commons debates it and rejects it. Only a matter of time, though.
* Switzerland is sort of in an ironic pickle. Its economy is one of the best in Europe, and its public debt is under control. And it never accepted the Euro, i.e. the Greater German Deutsch Mark, which is falling because Germany has let itself become Europe’s ATM machine. Therefore, the Swiss Franc is surging in trading versus most major currencies. But when your economy depends heavily on exports and tourism, that’s not a good thing.
But judges in Strasbourg ruled that the Swedish government had failed in its ‘positive obligation to protect’ the couple’s right to receive information. It found that satellite dishes come under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
“Right to receive information.” Does that include information about innate racial differences in intelligence, IQ and otherwise?

Skip this post if you have no professional or amateur interest at all in Calculus.
I recently came upon the need to perform calculations involving Simpson’s Three-Eights Rule, comparing and contrasting it to the standard Simpson’s Rule. I have a TI-89, but I can’t find a program for 3/8 Simpson on Ye Olde Internets. So I wrote one myself. Because WordPress won’t allow the .89p file extension, if you want it, you’ll have to e-mail me and ask for it.. I wrote it on and for the first version of the TI-89, but it should also work on the TI-89 Titanium, TI-92 series and the Voyage 200.
In case you don’t have the ability to connect your TI-89x/92x/Voyage 200 to your computer, here is the literal program in TI-BASIC. If you have another kind of TI calculator or even another brand, you might be able to tweak it a little bit and key it in yourself. Note that -> here means you should hit the “STO” key on your TI, or the equivalent on another brand.
You’ll notice, TI-89/92/V200 user, that I forced the machine into Pretty Print off and Approximate mode before the meat of the program. Want to know why? Look at this, click on the formula to see the whole thing:
This is what the TI-89 returns in its default modes of PP On and Approximate Mode Auto when you use this program to solve the integral of x^x from 2 to 5, using only 3 subintervals. (I originally scanned in my handwritten copy of what the TI-89 displayed, but as it turns out, LibreOffice Math is way more professional looking.) Now, this is the exactly correct calculation (though not ultimately the right answer), and the reason it looks like this is that any Simpson’s Rule calculation technically involves fitting polynomials, 2nd degree in the case of standard Simpson’s, 3rd degree in the case of 3/8 Simpson’s, around the function. However, there isn’t a math savant on Earth for whom this is useful, because anyone who would want to integrate x^x from 2 to 5 probably wants something that looks like a real number. Not something that asks you to take the cube root of 13 and multiply it by 28,000 or something or another — What do I care about the cube root of 13? I’m a triskadekaphobiac. Anyway, this mess calculates to 1246.65198541, and that is what you will see if you use approximate and no pretty print. Unfortunately, this forces your calculator into those modes even after you’re done with the program, so if you want pretty print and auto or exact modes, you’ll have to change them back yourself. I could have undid it before the end of the program, except you might use no pretty print and approximate mode already.
Remember, this is x^x from 2 to 5 with only 3 subints. If you do 10 subints, it’ll be an even bigger mess and take a few minutes to calculate. It would take your calculator all day to do 30 subints. With approx and no PP, the calculations go a lot quicker, and you get a useable result.
The ubiquitous “Calculus Tools” Flash Add-On for the 89/92/V200 has Simpson’s Rule, but only the standard Simpson’s Rule. (Technically, Simpson’s Rule doesn’t allow for an odd number of subintervals, so the only reason I could do three subintervals of the standard rule is because I found a TI-89 program that lets you do that. Most, including the one in the Calculus Tools Flash App, do not.) The reason for my bothering with any of this is that I’m tutoring someone on-and-off in Calculus, and his teacher covered Simpson’s. I wanted to show him how Simpson’s 3/8 arrives at better approximations for definite integrals faster and with fewer subintervals than standard Simpson’s.
Let’s take the function x^x. Now, either Simpson’s rule with only one subinterval will give you an exact 100% accurate calculation for the definite integral if the function is a 3rd order polynomial or simpler. However, any average Calculus student can integrate that kind of a function, evaluate for upper and lower bounds, and subtract. Like, duh. You need Simpson’s for when the function gets weird. x^x has no indefinite integral, so Simpson’s or another method is necessary to do definite integrals involving x^x. Now, x^x is a combination of a power function and an exponential function, so obviously it’s not a cubic polynomial or simpler. Therefore, either Simpson’s Rule with only one subinterval will not give you anything close to an accurate approximation. However, if you divide the job into segments (subintervals), the x^x function seems to behave a little more like a neat cubic polynomial or simpler when you examine just each little section by itself. The more you divide it up, the more like cubic polynomials or simpler each section is. Therefore, if you divide it up a lot, apply Simpson’s to each part, and then add up the results, you’ll get close to an accurate answer. The more you divide it up, the closer to right you will be.
However, the beauty in 3/8 Simpson’s as opposed to regular Simpson’s is that it gets you closer to righter sooner and with fewer divvyings-up.
Let’s go back to x^x from 2 to 5. Before I begin, I’m going to give you the “right” answer. The TI-89′s onboard system uses a method called Gauss-Kronrod to calculate definite integrals. I won’t bore you with the details, but the long and the short of it is that it’s way more accurate than anything called Simpson’s and way quicker. Using that, the definite integral of x^x from to 2 to 5 is 1238.9828378149. Wolfram Alpha will give you even more digits if you want.
Because I’m evaluating from 2 to 5, that’s why I used number of subintervals that divide neatly into five minus two, or three. With 3 subintervals, you’re sub-evaluating 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5. With 10 subintervals, you’re evaluating every 0.3, with 30 subintervals, every 0.1, with 100 subintervals, every 0.03, with 300 subintervals, every 0.01.
Practically, this means nothing. If you’re a surveyor who is trying to figure out the acreage of a piece of land for tax purposes that has three straight line boundaries and the other boundary looking like the x^x function, the extra few moments that your calculator will need to use standard Simpson’s get you a precise enough answer to satisfy the county tax bureaucrats doesn’t mean anything.
UPDATE: You will notice I programmed in the error function, using the average between lower and upper bounds as the arbitrary number. I have found that the error tolerance on the Simpsons Rules overall is pretty generous, to say the least. For instance, the errors for the function above:
You can see a pattern — Multiply the number of subintervals by 10 and the precision increases by a factor of 10^4, or 10,000. The third to the last line in the program calling for raising some figure to the fourth power is where that comes from. Anyway, these error factors are consistently way larger than the difference between the “right” answer and the computed 3/8 Simpson’s Rule answer. (1491.75±8286.52 — I should say the right answer is in that range, LOL) That is because x^x is a weird function — If you do this for a function like x^5, a regular looking polynomial with a degree larger than three, then the error won’t give you this insane sort of wiggle room, though it will still be greater than the difference between the “right” answer and the 3/8 Simpson’s Rule answer. Obviously a polynomial like x^3 or x^2 will have zero error even if you only use one subinterval.
As an aside, here is how Pretty Print + Exact Mode returns the error function for 3 subintervals (click to see the whole thing):
Yikes. Isn’t 102.30272… a lot easier?
UPDATE 8/30: Someone e-mailed me with the suggestion that I need not have forced the calculator into approximate mode and pretty print off at the beginning of this program, just use the “approx(” command in the lines displaying the actual estimated definite integral variable (sr) and the error function (ef). I actually tried that, and while it did display the same sensible looking answer, it took just as long to get those approximate answers as it did the exact and pretty print answers, examples above. The reason for that is that if you leave the machine in PP mode and then in Exact or Auto mode, it’s still calculating at each subinterval using exact and pretty print, and calculates the final answer in exact and pretty print, even though I would be using “approx(” to display a sensible looking answer. Totally disengaging the calculator from exact/auto and pretty print makes the actual calculations go by a lot faster, though don’t expect any Simpson’s Rule calculation, especially of a complex function and/or a lot of subintervals, to be really that fast.
How convenient that S&P downgrades the Yankee government on a Friday afternoon.
The media call Friday afternoon “moving day,” and a Friday afternoon before a weekend where Monday is a holiday is an especially rich “moving day.” They run the stories that they hope get buried in the public insouciance and indolence of the weekend, but run them anyway so they can claim to be impartial.
Mark me, S&P’s timing has Obama’s fingerprints all over it. Dodd-Frank is the keystone.
The first Federal income tax was levied 150 years ago today, so that what temporarily was left of the Union could fund its part in the War Between the States. Funny, the war is long over, but the Federal income tax isn’t. And they pick on us for acting like the Civil War isn’t over…
Remember, we’re still paying that “temporary” tax on land line telephone service to fund the Spanish-American War. Spain might be a little shocked to find out that we’re still at war with them. And in case you thought it was a bureaucratic oversight that the tax wasn’t repealed, a few years ago, the Feds demanded and eventually got that tax applied to cell phone service, because almost all cell calls get routed through land lines.
I’m going to have to slap myself in the hand for letting shit pile up like this. Self, don’t do that again. I’m giving myself a suspended sentence of 24 hours of sleep deprivation plus Lifetime on the TV.

This is why LulzSec went after Arizona Police computers — They were looking to discredit SB 1070, because SB 1070 has special provisions in them about drug trafficking illegal aliens. You can’t have your south of the border jolly joints when the south of the border dope runners get too much heat from The Man, don’t ya know?

However, this does give me the opportunity to make an important point — Whoever the Republican Party nominates for President will be a white man or woman who will ask the American voters in November 2012 to take the Presidency away from the first black President and give it to him or her. I doubt any of them have the gonads to take that ball across the goal line. Most of them will mostly chicken out like McCain, in fear of the “R” word.

If those with responsibility over lines of credit do their due diligence, and don’t feel any pressure to the contrary from higher ups or on high, and extend lines of credit and help people and institutions engage in financial leverage based on their ability, desire and history to service their debt, then credit can be the best of things for the lender, lendee and the economy at large.

That cable network’s ratings are so low that its personalities and hosts are resorting to saying crazy things on purpose in order to draw attention to themselves. To the extent that anyone with real ratings and a real audience talked about this non-story today (i.e. Rush Limbaugh) only rewards and encourages that kind of behavior, and only begs for it to get worse.

I can’t find a pic anywhere on Ye Olde Internets, but the NYP does tell us that the younger and unqualified Mr. Sohan like to commit robberies in West Hempstead, on Long Island.

Oh, I see how that works. I hate gays, but I have an extra special cherry-on-top hatred of black gays, and that by itself is keeping gay black men from getting the ELISA test. I don’t need to block the entrance to the public health clinic, all I need to do is have a special hateful place in my special hateful heart for gay black men and gay black men alone, that’s all it takes. Or, to put it another way, if us homophobes would only hate gay black men no more or less than we hated other homosexuals, then they wouldn’t be afraid to get tested. Official America ought to logically deconstruct its own bromides before it pollutes our society with them.

He is described as a “man, possibly in his late teens, was described as about 6 feet tall and 170 pounds with blonde hair.” He was butt ass naked, and that’s all they can tell us about him?
* Spare me. This is the same newspaper that coined the phrase “Magic Negro” to refer to the person of Barack H. Obama II.
* The old saying goes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In the case of Arizona SB 1070, while it always tends to poll well, the only reason it doesn’t poll universally well or close to it is because of the organized campaign of media and leftist slander against it. But if you ask people about individual items within SB 1070, they poll higher than SB 1070 itself.

As an aside, for Machiavellian reasons, whatever truths or non-truths or half-truths are to this DSK affair, we better hope the scandal doesn’t get resolved until after the French elections next year. For if the French get it in their heads that Obama set up DSK in order to drive him out at IMF in order to install one of his flunkies in his place (DSK’s replacement has links to Chicago and Obama), then DSK is as good as President. Anti-Americanism is that strong in France. We have to protect Marine.
I think some of this, especially in North Africa, especially certain parts of North Africa experiencing immigration from “points south,” if you know what I mean, can be explained not by its “traditional” Arabic population, (though they contribute), but because of the uninhibited sexuality by and among those countries’ growing sub-Saharan black population. You’ll notice Sudan is part of this study, and Sudanese blacks are mostly East African blacks, with a little bit of Arab.
* Part of the promised reforms of the Cameron-Clegg coalition government is an increase of what we would call “direct democracy” or the “initiative petition process.” The two most popular reforms that Britons are demanding of their government as part of the new e-petition process in the UK both have to do with bringing back the death penalty. “Conveniently,” the official e-petition website crashed. But it may well be that the House of Commons will have to debate CP. Other popular e-petitions include withdrawing from the EU, making prison grub less delectable and instituting rape shield laws.
It’s like I said in the Arizona SB 1070 story, but I can apply it here — The BNP might not be “popular,” but its agenda items sure are. The parts are more attractive than the whole. If the BNP gets the post-NickG leadership question right, then it’s poised for some big gains.
I find it curious that rape shield laws are well on Britons’ minds. I take that to mean that rape is a much more common crime in the UK than Official Britain is letting on, and that blacks and “Asians” (British parlance) are doing most of it, and white women are most of the victims.

One thing it could not predict or did not want to predict: The series of events in the first half of the coming new century which led to the United Kingdom going from the world’s predominant military and economic power and empire to just another European country, albeit one that most people on Earth would kill to immigrate into. It could not see that at the end of the century about to dawn, Britain would be ashamed of being British.

Used to be insects got a lot bigger, back in the days when Earth’s atmosphere was thicker and had a higher oxygen constitution. But it says here that there was “climate change” and the big fuckers died off in earnest in favor of smaller ones.
What? There was climate change on earth without humans and their destructive SUVs? Say it ain’t so, Algore!
Bloomy + Creepy d00d to contribute 30 apiece in what they hope to be a 130 megabuck warchest to dump on the city’s indolent black and Hispanic young men.
New York Times no likey when you blockquote too much of their stories, so I’ll only respond here to the gobbledygookiest of bromides. You’ll have to read the whole thing yourself.
Although the populations of young white, black and Latino men in New York are roughly the same size, 84 percent of those in the city’s detention facilities and nearly all of those admitted to children’s and family services facilities are black and Latino youth, according to data from the Bloomberg administration
The challenge, Professor Anderson said, will be persuading New York’s businesses to embrace these young men and offer them permanent employment after the city’s work is completed. “Companies have to be much more receptive to these young people and meet people like Bloomberg halfway,” he said.
“Meet Bloomberg halfway.” Meaning you’ll be paying half their salary for these make work jobs in “private” industry.
So to promote remedial math and literacy classes in the morning, for example, the city would link them with paid internships in the afternoon. The internships would pay $7.25 an hour, but students would be paid only if they participated in the class.
Seven and a quarter an hour is hardly anything in an inexpensive city like St. Louis. It’s so little in an expensive city like New York that it’s almost as if you’re paying them to work. That wage rate at those part time hours probably won’t even fund bus and subway fare.
For the first time, the Education Department would specifically tie the success of black and Latino boys — measured in part by test scores and graduation rates — to the grades the city gives schools each year. Those grades can determine whether a school remains open.
NCLB does that on a national scale.
Under the plan, the city’s Probation Department would open five satellite probation offices in neighborhoods with the highest crime rates — like East New York, Brooklyn; Jamaica, Queens; and the South Bronx — and inside community organizations that offer services from which the young men might benefit, like computer classes to help them prepare for a job or yoga classes to help them control anger.
Yoga, just what every self-”respecting” black or Hispanic thug gang banger is going to want to sign up for. Maybe we should tell them it’s hot nude co-ed yoga, that might trick them.
To provide role models for the men on probation, the city said it would recruit from those neighborhoods 900 paid mentors, many of whom used to be troubled themselves, and promote a range of community service programs, like cleaning parks, removing graffiti and painting community centers, said Vincent N. Schiraldi, the city’s probation commissioner.
“Many of whom used to be troubled themselves.” Ah, yes, that cottage industry of ex-cons telling future ex-cons how to not to go to prison. Maybe Bloomy and Creepy d00d can rub three brain cells together and figure out that the best people to be lecturing people on how not to commit crime are people who haven’t committed any crime.
Aides to the mayor described several of the measures as common-sense solutions that would cost little, if anything, to put in place. The city will try to reduce the barriers to employment for men with criminal convictions by instructing managers not to ask job applicants about those records in the first stage of the interview process.
Here we go, the next civil rights crusade. Eventually, employers won’t be able to ask about rap sheets at all. As it is now, they can only ask about adult felony convictions, nothing more.
The city would also encourage men to obtain driver’s licenses or state identification cards, after focus groups suggested that a large number of young black and Latino men did not have them, making it difficult for them to apply for jobs. “They didn’t know why they should have it or how to get it,” said Andrea Batista Schlesinger, a special adviser to the mayor, who organized the program.
Okay then, I don’t ever want to hear one lib bitch about the “racial disparate impact” of Photo ID for voting, if we’re going to go through all that. I think the main reason why a lot of these young black and Hispanic men don’t have ID is because they don’t want it, because they don’t want to create a paper trail between themselves and their criminal activity. I think they’re also scared that the DMV might cross check with NCIC for outstanding warrants, which they don’t. At least in Missouri, the Department of Revenue handles drivers licenses and state ID cards, and a State Trooper or two or three is stationed at every DoR drivers license installation in order to administer the driving section of the driving test, and maybe it’s the same in New York — Maybe they don’t want to show their faces too much around men and women with arrest powers.
Now the city plans to promote such identification in the paperwork given to high-school graduates and during interviews for summer jobs with city agencies.
Seems kinda odd that they were able to “graduate” from high school without having a photo ID. I remember needing mine on several instances in order to be a functional high school student in the process of pursuing my education.
A few weeks ago, Mr. Bloomberg called Mr. Soros, who has spent millions of dollars on programs to help black men in Baltimore and other cities, and invited him to lunch. The mayor asked the financier to match his donation for a program in New York, and Mr. Soros quickly agreed.
Because Creepy d00d’s money worked out so well in Baltimore.
SJSU Professor Says Default Preferable To Debt Deal
SAN JOSE (CBS 5) – One Bay Area professor has said that the deal to increase the Federal debt ceiling is no cause for celebration.
San Jose State Economics Professor Jeff Hummel has said it would have been a good thing if the government had defaulted on its debt.
“I think that a treasury default is inevitable, and has been inevitable for a long time,” said Hummel.
Hummel said he believes the U.S. should go beyond default and repudiate the debt – essentially saying we have not intention to pay the debt back in its entirety.
If the Federal government does default, what real cost is there to it? They wouldn’t be able to pay the principal or interest on treasury bonds, but what can ordinary schmucks like you and I do about it? Do you honestly think we and our thirty-aught-sixes can make the Yankee government give us one worthless piece of paper in exchange for another when it doesn’t want to? I’d like my money, but I like living and consuming oxygen a lot more. Sure, the Feds owe Beijing a big pile, but they don’t have the military power to garrison the United States and make Uncle Sam pay up. Even when they do become a military superpower on par with the United States, they still wouldn’t resort to that, for the same reason Yamamoto wouldn’t invade the continental United States with conventional forces even if Japan had the manpower — Our thirty-aught-sixes would bog them down.
There is another bargaining chip here: Taiwan.
A caller to Rush floated a theory I’ve been thinking about for some time, that we’d trade Taiwan (i.e. withdraw from the Formosa Straits, which would give Beijing clear sailing to take Taiwan by force), in exchange for debt cancellation. Another theory in that regard is that Beijing is continuting to buy our T-Bills when they otherwise would not, in exchange for our giving them Taiwan.
Even if we didn’t owe China one red cent, I wouldn’t want to go to war with Beijing over Taiwan anyway. Are we to spill the increasingly precious and rare blood of white men over the question of should or shouldn’t a continential mainland country with 1.3 billion Chinese people rule over an island 140 miles off their coast populated with 23 million Chinese people? In case you didn’t notice, even as Taiwan and Mainland China still trade verbal barbs, Taiwanese electronics maufacturers such as Sangean do their assembly on the Mainland. Taiwan and China are getting economically linked more and more. I predict that, notwithstanding any financial contretemps between Beijing and Washington, Taiwan will eventually rejoin the People’s Republic of China willingly. Find the alternate universe with us not owing China anything, and do some time traveling, and I predict you would still see voluntary reunification. Blood is thicker than ideology.
Can we now start calling them ietards? Can we now say that Internet Explorer is the short bus of the web world? Obviously, no, that would be too insensitive.
* Debt deal news first. Ron Paul has an Op-Ed in The Hill that’s getting a lot of love from lamestream conservatives, at least the ones not sucked into the Boner orbit. You know, it’s funny — Ron Paul is getting a lot of love all of a sudden from the very same lamestream conservative crowd that used to call him nuts + wacky + crazy + kook + tard + foil head. (I won’t mention Mark Levin and Jim Hoft by name.) On top of that, as much as these same people “used to” despise Ron, they loved Rand all along, even though the only real difference between them is style, polish and PR. Maybe that’s the key to the whole thing, maybe the lamer cons are all taken in on slick and polish.
* The House roll call. The Senate roll call. Akin voted no, so he’s out of my dog house. Important, because he wants to change chambers next year, and hopes to oppose Claire McCaskill, who was a Yes vote. Blunt voted Yes.
* Der Spiegel calls the element of the American body politic that insists that its country’s Federal government get itself on the serious road to spending more more than it takes in as the “radical right.” I never knew it was easy to be so radical these days.
* Last thing on this topic for today — We’re hearing a lot of spin from the elements of the conservative media within the Boner orbit that the reason this is a great win for the Tea Party Movement is because the debate forced Democrats like Dick “The Pride of East St. Louis” Durbin to sound like hard core fiscal conservatives. One of my recurring themes in this space, going back almost to its founding, back in the days when it was not a formal weblog, and back in the days when it served another function, is that talk is cheaper than dirt, and that actions have consequences. Are we to be impressed that Dick Durbin sounded like a fiscal conservative for 36 hours? Dick Durbin will always be a big spending tax and spend liberal Democrat for as long as he has real political power. In reality, the big spending left won this debate in terms of the actions and their consequences, which is all that matters. Evidently, Conservatism Inc., and the Boner orbit really are as stupid as some of them look, if a few phony people saying a few phony things for a few measly hours is enough for them to claim victory.
* Flawed methodology: This study might have been done while Ted Kennedy was still living and Kit Bond was still in the Senate. Now that both are no longer day-to-day fixtures in D.C., the city’s alcohol consumption is probably a lot lower.
* The Target closest to me rolled out the Back-to-School seasonal right after the Fourth of July. The reason BTS retail season is starting earlier is because schools are starting earlier. St. Louis City Public starts two weeks from yesterday, as an example.
Birmingham Chief of Police A.C. Roper, according to the statement, believes that the Alabama immigration law will hamper local law enforcement’s ability to police the community effectively. Roper stated that the law will require the Birmingham Police Department to “expend scarce resources on immigration matters at the expense of” municipal priorities.
Earlier today the bishops who lead the Episcopal, United Methodist, and Roman Catholic churches in Alabama filed a civil lawsuit to try and block enforcement of Alabama’s new immigration law. The Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama and other groups had also filed a civil lawsuit last month asking for a judge to block enforcement of the law and rule it unconstitutional.
History lesson: In the Deep South not counting southern Louisiana, almost all whites who are at least moderately religious are Southern Baptist or some sort of Theology Lite Fundagelical/Charismatic. Therefore, any Christian denominations normally associated with the North are going to be heavily black (and increasingly Hispanic in the case of the Catholics) at their installations in the Deep South. Therefore, interpret this news about Alabama’s Episcopalians, Methodists and Catholics suing over immigration to be almost tantamount to its black churches and its few heavily Hispanic Catholic Parishes suing.
Pray tell, on what grounds are they suing? It certainly shouldn’t be anything relating to the health or prosperity of the religious institutions themselves, otherwise the Federal courts will bounce it out for the establishment cause in short order, and rightly so IMHO. If this doesn’t convince you that religious institutions shouldn’t be tax-exempt, then nothing does.
I’m surprised that an Alabama news source got through a whole article about immigration and lawsuits and Alabama without once mentioning everyone’s favorite Alabama-based “poverty center,” which of course is in the thick of this mess.
Dekalb County officer lifts up Yvonne Ruiz’s shirt during traffic stop
Atlanta (CNN) – An Atlanta-area woman says a police officer made inappropriate sexual advances toward her. This isn’t the first time the officer has faced sex-related allegations.
“He was like, ‘Let me see your breasts.’ He doesn’t say it like that. I was like, ‘What?’” says 22-year-old Yvonne Ruiz. She couldn’t believe what then-Dekalb County police officer Jeremy Reynolds asked her. It was during a traffic stop on I-285. Ruiz says Reynolds told her he had a way to keep her from going to jail.
“Let me see your breasts and I’ll let you go,” she says he told her. Ruiz declined, saying she has children and husband. She then told him to leave her alone and not to touch her.
Ruiz says Reynolds then aggressively frisked her and tried to lift up her shirt. When she asked for a female officer she says he told her, “Well, everybody’s at lunch, so it’s just me.”
Ruiz was then taken to jail on a speeding ticket and a probation violation.
She filed an internal affairs complaint and later found out police accused Reynolds of forcing another woman to have sex during a traffic stop. Officers charged him with aggravated sodomy and two counts of violation of oath of office.
Reynolds’ attorney said he couldn’t say much about the case, but he said the allegations are untrue.
“Since there’s two alleged accusers, we need more time to go through the discovery we got from the district attorney,” said attorney Jackie Patterson.
Ruiz says she felt violated and doesn’t want anyone else to go through what she went through. (Emphasis mine)
Channel 5′s video, which was probably mostly CNN’s video or the WXIA’s video (NBC Atlanta), didn’t show Mr. Reynolds. That piqued my suspicion right way.
As Unamusement Park would say, “reporting is sooooooo hard.” Especially when you have Google News Search and Google Image Search at your disposal.
Ex-DeKalb officer pleads not guilty to sex charges
A former DeKalb County police officer pleaded not guilty Monday to charges he forced a woman to have oral sex with him, and in another instance offered to let a female motorist out of a traffic stop if she exposed herself to him, Channel 2 Action News reports.
Jeremy Tyrel Reynolds waived arraignment, and DeKalb Superior Court Judge Courtney Johnson granted a defense request for 20 days to file motions, according to a spokesman for the DeKalb District Attorney’s Office.
According to the indictments for sodomy and violation of oath, in September 2009, Reynolds forced a woman to perform oral sex under threat of arrest if she refused. (Emphasis mine)
Hmm, “Jeremy TYREL Reynolds.” Now we’re getting somewhere.
23-year-old Jeremy Tyrel Reynolds, a Dekalb County police officer for the last two years, has been arrested following an investigation of sexual misconduct that allegedly happened back in September 2009. Reynolds allegedly raped a prostitute in custody and also offered to release another woman if she exposed herself to him.
Reynolds has been charged with Sexual Assault on a Person in Custody, Aggravated Sodomy, Rape and Violation of Oath of Office. Reynolds was arrested when he showed up for work today and is on administrative leave pending his firing.
He was reportedly arrested earlier today but thus far he’s not been listed in the jail records.
Whaddaya know, it has a picture:
So the moral of this story is that black cop sexually extorts Hispanic woman, almost two years after he does the same thing and also rapes a woman in custody.
Why wasn’t he fired two years ago? Answer: Affirmative Action. Black skin privilege.
Sex attacker we can’t deport gets £1,000 a month in handouts (… and, guess what, the father of two says it’s his human right to live in Britain)
A dangerous sex offender whose claim for asylum was thrown out eight years ago is still living in Britain – and costing the taxpayer hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Sarafa Salami, 48, was sentenced to four years in prison and ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register for life after his attack on a 21-year-old student in 2005, two years after he should have left the country.
Described on his files as a ‘risk to women and children’, Salami was ordered to be deported on his release from prison in 2009.
But the West African remains in the UK as he has fathered two children and claims his human right to a family life would be violated if he is sent back to his native Togo.
The revelations make a mockery of the Government’s promise to deport all foreign criminals convicted of serious offences.
Salami’s children are understood to both be under ten and live in Liverpool – where he carried out his sex attack in 2005.
He lives above a hair salon in West Drayton, West London, in an £800-a-month studio flat next door to a busy pub.
He also receives £160 a month in food vouchers.
Sure, he’s a constant threat to women and children. But his very presence makes England more diverse, and that’s the most important thing — Diversity is Britain’s most important strength (even though I’m still waiting to hear why or how).
This bit about “the government’s promise to deport all foreign criminals convicted of serious offenses?” Sound familiar?
Prediction: You won’t hear jack shit from the professional feminists and man-haters of England about this.
Pro-Gay Groups Sue MN School District For Not Discussing Homosexuality in the Classroom
Seven suicides within two years at one suburban school district outside Minneapolis has enflamed a culture war between teachers, parents, and national interest groups in regards to the district’s policy of leaving the discussion on homosexuality outside of the classroom.
(snip)
The Southern Poverty Law Center and National Center for Lesbian Rights filed a federal lawsuit against Anoka-Hennepin Public Schools last week in regards to the district’s “curricular neutrality” about LGBT issues, and the U.S. departments of justice and education have announced formal investigations into the policy.
(snip)
Fietek answers the texts and Facebook posts of suicidal teens questioning their sexuality. CNN states that Fietek has reason to worry, pointing to studies that show since the 1990s gay and lesbian youth consistently have suicide attempt rates at least twice that of their heterosexual peers.
Funny, we were lectured all these years about “my body, my choice, my business, none of your business you mouth-foaming knuckle-dragging wannabe theocrat.” Yet, when a school district minds its own business and allows the sexual politics of its students play out as they will, the SPLC et al. get hot and bothered.
As for the latter contention, that might be correlation without causation — I could be proven wrong, but I have the feeling that there are other driving factors at work to explain the young homosexual suicide rate being twice that of young heterosexuals — It could actually be that the young homosexuals are mostly white and are being racially bullied, or it could be that they’re mostly white and are committing suicide for many of the same reasons young whites commit suicide way more than young non-Asian minorities, or it could be that they’re kinda “nerdy” and being bullied because they’re nerds. Of course, sexual orientation could also be a role. The SPLC is a building full of lawyers, and I’m sure one of them has heard of proximate causation, the “but for” test.
Is that all we get to know about them, that the numbers denoting their ages have “teen” in the verbal spelling? I guess so, because anything else would be as irrelevant on the order of a Seventh-Day Adventist waiting on a cold front.
Problem is, “cru” implies “crusade,” which in turn implies “cruxifiction,” which in turn implies “crux,” i.e. cross, and at that point you cant help but think of that most famous person administered cruxifiction as a punishment.
* With a name like “Multicultural High School,” you knew this would be the order of the day. You’ll notice that the leverage this prinicpal had against her students is that she threatened to call ICE on them, i.e. they were illegal aliens. (They must not realize that ICE rarely enforces immigration law.) I’m waiting until this is our fault, because we won’t pass “comprehensive immigration reform” and just make everyone on Earth American citizens so that the threat to call ICE can’t be a form of criminal extortion anymore, hell there won’t even be a need for ICE (but they’d still fund them anyway). Also, this is probably the first and last time most of these young people will ever do anything that seems like honest work. I doubt many of them are learning much in this school which in turn isn’t probably teaching much, so missing school was a moot point. It’ll be just a few years before the men are dope dealing gang bangers and the women become professional welfare clients.
* “Western Conservative Summit.” When half the attendees vote for Herman Cain, I have a choice suggestion for a new title for this group. Unfortunately, one of them is a racial pejorative. “Lover” is also included.
Don’t much worry about these “western conservatives.” When Herman Cain flops in the primaries, then you’ll know that they’re nothing but a bunch of marginal hacks. Note that Rick Santorum, who polls at zero in about half the polls, finished in third place in this straw poll.
* Elections in Chicago are crooked and full of fraud? Naw, get outta town. As Ann Coulter just tweeted, proof that OBL is dead is that he’s now a Chicago voter.
Then again, if you run around that neighborhood in the late afternoon early evening in the middle of August, you better not lock up your gun. Sun goes down, the stars come out, if you know what I mean.
* Seems to me that this is not much more than an anti-Christian rant on the part of young 11-year old Mr. Fine of the western suburbs of Sydney. The problem is, for both he and the leftist supporters of ethics classes in the public schools of New South Wales, if you start taking ethics too seriously, you might go out and question the ethics of things like condom distribution to 11-year olds, and anything else which makes consequence-free sex free of charge.
* A day after the 18th anniversary of the opening of MetroLink, we get this little gem about the increased security around the DeBalivere-Delmar-Loop Station, that the white liberals in The Loop demanded and got after too much black crime spilled over from that station into The Loop and its white liberal yuppie establishments. You know how that goes — We love diversity, we think it’s our most important strength, even though we can’t say why or how, but when diversity does what diversity does at your favorite watering hole, we do something about it. I remember in the run-up to MetroLink opening, we were told that security costs would be minimal because the fare enforcement would take place inside the vehicles, not outside the station. Now, I am told that more and more “fare checks” are taking place on the station platforms themselves, that even before this security putsch at the Delmar station, that the security guards won’t even let you get to the station platform unless you have valid fare. Obviously, the on-train fare checks are still in place (I presume).
This article doesn’t state this, but I bet that the extra sales tax passed last year is helping to pay for all this extra security.
Funny, the sadistic slave owner doesn’t really look that much like your ever-loving blogmeister.
I wonder, just how much of an intellectual she was. What exactly was her (unstated) capacity at the London School of Hygeine and Tropical Medicine? I bet she was some kind of “diversity coordinator” bureaucrat — That’s the way it usually works with black American “engineers” or “scientists.”
I notice that this particular store is only open on the last Thursday, Friday and Saturday of every month, and only in July, August and September. Can I write any sort of secret racial meaning into it not being open after the first of every month? Welfare checks, maybe?
Snyder sees immigrants as a key to state’s economy
DETROIT — Michigan has seen the results of what immigrants can do to help the economy through companies such as Meijer Inc., Masco Corp. and Dow Chemical Co., and should be attracting more immigrants who can repeat those successes, Gov. Rick Snyder said Monday.
Speaking at a conference on immigration and Michigan’s economy at Wayne State University, the governor pointed out that the Meijer retail chain was founded by a Dutch immigrant, the building products maker Masco ( MAS – news – people ) by an Armenian immigrant and Dow by a Canadian.
“One of the keys that made us successful in the past is going to again be the key to our future, and that’s . . . immigration,” Snyder told hundreds of people attending the New Michigan Media conference. He noted that the venture capital companies he headed before he became governor invested in several businesses headed by foreign graduates who created Michigan jobs.
Wayne State University President Allan Gilmour said many foreign students earn degrees from Michigan universities but then must leave the country because of unfriendly U.S. immigration policies. He mentioned one student who received a doctoral degree but couldn’t get the needed documents to work in the United States, and instead took a job in Canada.
(snip)
“You would populate Detroit overnight because half the world wants to come here,” Bloomberg said then. Michigan’s largest city has seen its population fall from 1.8 million in the 1950 U.S. Census to 714,000 in 2010, dropping 26 percent in the last decade alone.
(snip)
The Michigan Department of Civil Rights and the Michigan Economic Development Corp. are working together through the Snyder administration’s Global Michigan Initiative to find ways to team graduating immigrants with companies that might be able to help them gain a work visa by saying they’ll hire them.
“To translate that (student visa) into a work visa or another situation, they really need to be matched with some commercial opportunity,” Snyder said. “”How do we find students that have those great innovative ideas and match them up with existing businesses or other startup people in Michigan to say, `Hey, create a company together’?”
The Republican governor declined to discuss federal immigration policy or the sweeps that have led to illegal immigrants being deported, sometimes tearing them away from their U.S.-born children. He wants the federal government to deal with the issue and opposes Arizona-style laws that allow police enforcing other laws to question the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally.
“That’s a divisive situation,” he said, noting he opposes bills already introduced that would bring similar laws to Michigan. “Such negative issues . . . actually cause more trouble than anything.”
Funny when Snyder tries to sell immigration, he talks about the Dutch, Armenians and Canadians, all white people, and all in the relatively distant past. Even though save a few exceptions, legal white immigration into the United States is pretty much verboten these days. What Snyder wants is a bunch of cheap labor tan and brown subcontinentals and Indoamericans to drive the wage scale as far down as possible and to drive as many native born white Americans out of the labor market as possible.
This goofball from Wayne State University has a lot of nerve. Here is what an AR poster named “Proactive” had to say a few years ago about that school:
Way back in the 70′s when I was about to graduate from Wayne State University in Detroit, we soon-to-be-grads had to assemble in one of the campus auditoriums to write a 250 word essay. Regardless of major, every student had to pass this simple (and widely known) exercise in order to receive their diploma. It was blindingly simple. The instructors gave handouts explaining that you had to introduce the subject, discuss it in the body, and then write the closing. 500 topics to choose from were listed on a separate sheet of paper, and an overhead projector kept the instructions, as explained verbally, cast on a huge screen in front of our huge group. A postcard came in the mail a week later telling if you passed or failed. I was already working at a job in my major when I read in The Detroit News how a large group of black students was suing the school for discrimination. It’s important to note here that Wayne State U in Detroit is and always has been just to the left of Karl Marx, politically. Political Correctness may have been born on this campus. Blacks with just over 1.5 high school GPAs were admitted as freshmen, and they were passed no matter which courses they took. Dumbing down for black students and social promotions were the rules of the day at WSU. After 4 years of, uh, “study”, they had failed the simple essay requirement. Their argument was that the requirement was biased against blacks due to the “fact” (sic) that writing essays were particularly difficult for their race. What’s the complaint in this AR article? That multiple choice tests were too difficult for blacks? What testing method is left? A few weeks later I read where the black students vs. WSU lawsuit was thrown out of court. Due to the absence of a healthy shame among blacks, and their near total disregard for learning while IN school, these idiotic lawsuits continue. Today, the courts appear to be so PC-corrupt that the litigants often win. With the liberal messiah in the highest office, expect more of this insanity. After all, he’s our first PC, affirmative action prez.
Are we supposed to cue every Stradivarius ever made to play the world’s saddest tune because legal immigrants have to return to their country of citizenship every once in awhile? In many cases, their even going to school here took up a seat that a native born white American couldn’t get. The cheap labor lobby I suppose would just give every legal immigrant student visa holder a green card or perhaps straight up citizenship as a privilege of some American diploma mill admitting them. That way, native born white Americans can be both uneducated AND unemployed.
And as far as that last part — All I can say is that Mike Cox would have signed an SB 1070 style law for Michigan.
I know you’re reading this — All I can say is that I never knew you had it in you. Of course, it’s always the quiet ones that turn out to be the biggest party animals…
