U.S. intends to revoke terrorist designation of Yemen's Houthis

The Houthi slogan is "Allah is Greater, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse the Jews, Victory to Islam”—but that’s not really bad, according to the Biden State Department. They’d designate you, tho.

(Rebeccah Heinrichs)
Good point about removing that designation while they go searching for “terrorists” in our own military.

(faith wolfa 埃曼)
Americans are degrading themselves into less than humans !! There’s common sense called integrity !!

(Patriot Educator)
The Biden administration clearly loves & embraces real terrorists & those who fund them, while despising & prosecuting the American people. SMH

(نايف الحربي)
Is it possible that the US has been kidnapped and ruled by a hidden power controlled by evil people having their own agendas (not Americans)?. For some reasons, they work hard for a close relationship with Iran and its groups regardless of Iran's daily chant "death to America"

(AhmadMT)
They also kidnapped American citizens. But Biden’s folks prefer those who kidnap & kill Americans over the country that works to retrieve the kidnapped Americans. Leftists get a sick joy when they work to empower terrorists to ensure the continuation of death & destruction.

(Farjad فَرجاد)
With Dems in WH, it's easy for terrorist groups now. Move to an impoverished country, take #Iran as an ally, a few million hostages, threaten humanitarian aid, and no one will dare to call you terrorists. #HouthiTerrorismInYemen is re-designated as social work now.

Really fascinating that once a white respondent in my survey reaches a certain level of collective shame and guilt, maintaining existing immigration levels--even increasing them a little--just doesn't cut it.

This collapsed one might be easier on the eyes (graphs are a work in progress)

image

It's at roughly 1 standard deviation above the sample mean level of white shame/guilt that my white respondents shift from indifference about the eventual loss of America's white majority to expressions of happiness

(Adjusted model controls for party, ideology, age, sex, and education)

I'll add that no other predictor in my dataset, not 'racial resentment' nor 'social dominance', is as strong a predictor of 'happy' outcomes as shame/guilt.

Sorry if these are stupid questions, just trying to understand exactly what I'm seeing. Did you ask them if they felt guilty or shameful? Was this study actually done or is this just a prediction?

Yes. Here are the question wordings (as well as the factor loadings) for each of the three ingroup-critical emotions I measured.

White shame doesn't just predict lower warmth towards whites *relative* to racial/ethnic minority groups, it's also the best and only predictor in my data of outright rating whites in the negative (< 50) region of the 0-100 feeling thermometer scale

This thread reminds me of this graph I saved.

That's my graph as well :)

To help promote @RichardHanania's fascinating new article, I thought I'd thread graphs of some of the data I found interesting

First, I found it interesting that even when both refugee groups were described as being likely to overwhelmingly vote democrat, white dem participants still favored admitting (unskilled) Venezuelan over Ukranian refugees by a 16.4 point margin (p=0.039).

image

The inverse is true for republicans, who favor likely republican voting Ukranian to Venezuelan refugees by a 12.4 point margin (though the diff falls short of significance, p=0.104)

Another interesting finding is that white reps/cons appear to be much more sensitive to the skills/likely self-sufficiency of the immigrant group than white dems/libs. The latter appear to support admission at similar rates regardless of immigrant skill condition.

For instance, white dem support for admitting likely dem-voting Venezuelans was ~0.82 in the unskilled condition, and ~0.85 in the skilled condition. In contrast, white rep support for admitting likely gop-voting Ukranians was 0.45 in the unskilled condition, and 0.60 in the skilled condition.

In the end, partisanship certainly matters for both groups, as does ethnicity (which, for white dems, I reckon is taken as a cue for a group's oppression/privilege). But skills matter more for white conservatives/republicans.

The 550 US billionaires together are worth $2.5 trillion. If we confiscated 100% of their wealth, we'd raise enough to run the federal government for less than 8 months.

Perhaps our problem isn't how much billionaires have but how much politicians spend.

Del. John Mcguire is speaking against legalization of marijuana. He said he had 7-8 people cry in his arms when he knocked their door. He said they were crying because their child overdosed. I have strong doubts that these people’s kids OD’d on weed.

Del. McGuire is right. We have a drug problem in Virginia, and legalizing marijuana will only lead to more marijuana overdoses and deaths. Democrats want more marijuana deaths. As your governor I would never allow marijuana to be legalized.

(This is an e-mail a pastor got after quiting the SBTC on January 25 2021)
In Recent years the Southern Baptist Convention has been repenting (foolishly) of the “sin” of whiteness, and has rebaptized itself as an exemplar of diversity. Verily, it has brought fruits meet for repentance: a Negro Convention president; a Negro candidate for the pastorate of a white church (FBC, Naples, Florida); five million dollars in seminary scholarship for - and only for - Negroes; appointive positions reserved for, and elections rigged to install, Negroes.
But it has not been enough. For the Negro, nothing is ever enough. LBJ’s Great Society and War on Poverty gave the Negro the keys to the U.S. Treasury, the response to which has been ingratitude and “Giveusmo!” Legislation leapfrogged the Negro over Whites, placing Negroes in residences that they could not otherwise afford, and granting them unmerited entry into classrooms and boardrooms.
Yet, they remain savages; they defile and diminish every arena in which they parade: academic, political, corporate, judicial, military, athletic. Seeking another white bastion to badger and beleaguer, they invaded the church. None more deserving of destruction than the Southern Baptist Convention.
Ordnance wasted on a collapsing fort. That cult has been destroying itself for the past fifteen years, proof of which is in declining membership. If Negroes had come to improve rather than to importune, they would have deployed the alleged-to-exist “collective wisdom of black baptist pastors” to pickapart the Baptist Faith and Message, to challenge denominational denial of settled science, to extract the Convention from its unsophisticated doctrines and dogmas of yesteryear. All desperately needed.
But those are beyond the Negoes’ intellectual capacities. Like two-year-olds, they know only how to whine and throw tantrums. The SBC should bid them goodbye and good riddance!

“The coronavirus is about 100 nanometers in diameter. Cloth mask ‘holes’ are 1,000 times larger than a virus. An analogy is used that a mask is like a mosquito getting through a chain link fence. it’s a mosquito getting through a chain link fence w/holes 14 yards wide.

Explanation: James Lindsay (of the Sokal Squared hoax fame) recently claimed that antisemitism on the right is a result of Jews “embracing the religion of Wokeness” and came under fire for it. Lauren tried to defend him by saying that “increasingly” the behavior of individuals is seen as reflective of the racial/religious group as a whole, and claims that some on the right “are developing” anti-Semitic beliefs because of “woke” Jews.

Why critical race theory is the biggest threat to Jews in America today

Antisemetism before critical race theory / wokeness (2001):

- Left-wing antisemitism: Jews are really colonizers. Look at Israel.

- The average American: It is never right to racially discriminate, or believe in racial stereotypes.

- Right-wing antisemitism: Jews secretly run everything like the banks and media.

Antisemetism after critical race theory / wokeness (2021):

- Left-wing antisemitism: Jews are actually white and benefit from “whiteness” / white privilege and white supremacy. So it’s okay to discriminate against them [EQUITY]. (The “Jews are really colonizers. Look at Israel.” narrative still exists, but it isn’t as big any more.)

- The average American: It’s okay to discriminate against people if they benefit from racial privilege, and blame them for things that happened in the past based on their skin color as “antiracism.” That’s what the media, universities, Ibram Kendi, Robin DiAngelo, and Nikole Hannah-Jones tells me. (The “It is never right to racially discriminate, or believe in racial stereotypes.” narrative still exists, but it isn’t as big any more.)

- Right-wing antisemitism: The media & education system says all whites are racist but Jews “hide behind” their whiteness & never get blamed. I’m now taught that it’s okay to think of racial groups as oppressors / oppressed. (The “Jews secretly run everything like the banks and media.” narrative still exists, but it isn’t as big any more.)

Perfect timing 4 Biden 2 announce Transgenders in military- just as China attacks Taiwan. This will scare China 2 death. They will be so intimidated by thought of US Army of transgenders they’ll immediately put up white flag. Right? Actually Chinese may die from laughing so hard!

While President Biden was attending ceremonies today, 8,000 Americans died of COVID-19 on his watch. Hey @CNN, am I doing it right? I'm new to this. But after watching what u did to Trump, I think I understand how this works. Blame Biden for every death.

Human beings are of extraterrestrial origin! Scientists will announce in 2021 that the solar system is an artificial creation. To be more precise, it will be revealed that it is a machinery, and not of natural origin,as we used to think.

The Sun, the Moon and the other planets are" repairing and cleaning" at present,thus a large number of alien spaceships are circling all around,even around our planet and our sky.

I don’t believe people are born gay but even if they are... it’s an urge or attraction that isn’t normal. Man is for Woman, Woman is for Man. Anything else is obviously unnatural. If I was “born” with the urge to lick kids does that make it acceptable?

Jenna Ellis #sexist #wingnut twitter.com

A word on this debate over whether conservative women are “hotter.” The answer is definitely yes, but not for the reason you think. It’s because conservative women VALUE our femininity and our immutable differences. We aren’t TRYING to be men. God made us WOMEN. Go us and go men!

How stupid are we? It’s so easy to clean up DC Swamp. Every elected politician should be asked questions attached to lie detector test. If they pass, they keep their job. If they fail, fired and/or arrested, If they refuse, they should be immediately terminated. Simple.
