Racism

Yes, Anti-White Racism Exists. By DAVID FRENCH
Excerpt: Earlier today, the New York Times announced that it had hired Sarah Jeong to join its editorial board, and — like clockwork — controversial old tweets promptly surfaced. In them, Jeong expressed some rather interesting views of “[dumba** f***ing] white people,” musing about how much joy she gets “out of being cruel to old white men” and how “white men are [bullsh**].” For good measure she also compared white people to “groveling goblins” and questioned why they’re “genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun.” In a statement, Jeong expressed her regret and explained that she was engaging in “counter-trolling” designed to mimic the language of racists who harassed her online.

Badghis Husband Kills 9-Year-Old Wife
Excerpt: A Badghis man allegedly beat and strangled his nine-year-old wife to death on Sunday night, provincial officials confirmed on Monday. The incident took place in Kadanak village of Qads district of the province due to “family issues,” a spokesman for the provincial governor Naqibullah Amini confirmed. He said the child "named Samia had been married to (the suspect) Sharafuddin for two years.” “The man fled the area after the incident,” Amini said. The girl’s father has meanwhile been arrested by police “for forcing his daughter to marry the man,” Amini added. Amini said the husband is about 35 years old and has another wife. He said the child had been given to Sharafuddin as "Bad" (as payment to settle a dispute).

Civil Service

Meanwhile, over in the civil service . . .Jim Geraghty
The personnel chief of the Federal Emergency Management Agency — who resigned just weeks ago — is under investigation after being accused of creating an atmosphere of widespread sexual harassment over years in which women were hired as possible sexual partners for male employees, the agency’s leader said Monday.
Your tax dollars at work! Notice this is a guy hired in 2011 from the U.S. Secret Service, and the alleged repulsive behavior goes back to 2015; the article quotes officials as saying, “Many of the men and women Coleman hired were unqualified yet are still at the agency.” (Lots of unqualified workers at FEMA? Hey, what’s the worst that can happen?)
This is not a Trump scandal; this is not an Obama scandal. This is a “federal workers behaving badly, for a long time, in a way that a lot of people know and can see, with zero accountability” scandal.
Gee, if only someone had written a book about why the federal bureaucracy is the way it is . . . and if only the Trump appointees, so full of hopes to overhaul how government works, had read it. https://www.amazon.com/Weed-Agency-Federal-Bureaucracy-Without/dp/0770436528/ref=nosim/nationalreviewon

Dearborn man captured in Syria charged in terror case

His family is claiming that he was misled. That is their only possible recourse, as otherwise they would have to admit that the Islamic State ideology is spreading in Dearborn. And that could lead to an investigation. --Robert Spencer

Powder Keg Paris: As a devastating report reveals 300,000 illegal migrants are living in one French suburb... ANDREW MALONE explores the tensions in a community at odds with mainstream society
France is already screwed, there's no way they can deal with this, it can only keep getting worse now. Far, far too late to come up with any remedy that the society would support. (Like the army going in there with full divisions, tanks, gunships, forcing everyone out and into processing and everyone lacking full French ID is off to a nice camp until they get on a plane or boat to take them back somewhere. Nothing less will work, and they won't do it.) Situations like this exist elsewhere too, notably Sweden. --Del

Patient Centered Care?

DOCTORS INTERRUPT PATIENTS, STOP LISTENING AFTER 11 SECONDS ON AVERAGE, STUDY SAYS
Excerpt: octors only spend 11 seconds on average listening to patients before interrupting them, according to a new study. A team of scientists from the United States and Mexico studied clinical encounters between patients and physicians to test shared decision-making tools. Published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, the scientists learned of the lack of attention many doctors provide their patients. “Our results suggest that we are far from achieving patient-centered care,” Naykky Singh Ospina, an author on the study, said in a release published Thursday. The scientists analyzed 112 recorded meetings between doctors and patients at general practices in Minnesota and Wisconsin, including at the Mayo Clinic and its affiliated clinics. The scientists learned doctors only spent 11 seconds on average listening to a patient describe their reasons for visiting before interrupting. The team only counted how long it took a doctor to interrupt if the doctor first said something like “What can I do for you today?” or “Tell me what brings you in today,” allowing the patients to set the agenda of the conversation.

Inside my nightmare working in de Blasio’s government

Inside my nightmare working in de Blasio’s government
A social-justice lawyer who worked for both Michael Bloomberg and Bill de Blasio opens up about the ongoing failures of the current mayor.
Excerpt: When Bill de Blasio became mayor of New York in 2014, things changed drastically. I started to hear rumblings early on. My former colleagues who were dedicated public servants were concerned by a large-scale rollback of Bloomberg’s strategic initiatives. These seemed to be based on partisan politics and black-and-white thinking as opposed to critical analysis. It was very disappointing for me since I had also voted for de Blasio. Although I was still working in the same social-services agency where I had remained at the end of Bloomberg’s term, my job changed radically. I had no contact with the new commissioner who appeared to be disengaged from substantive discussions about social-services programs for an extremely vulnerable population. In fact, she was much more preoccupied with renovating her office — I heard her new desk alone cost thousands of dollars. She even requested that a private bathroom be built for her. She had the attitude of an oligarch and was disturbed that she had to vet invitations to galas through legal and City Hall. She wanted carte blanche to attend expensive events.

America’s Next Civil War Will Be Worse Than Our Last

America’s Next Civil War Will Be Worse Than Our Last
Excerpt: In the summer of 1862, just weeks before the Battle of Sharpsburg (or Antietam) — the bloodiest single day of fighting in American history — Union Captain George Armstrong Custer attended the wedding of Confederate Captain John “Gimlet” Lea at Bassett Hall in Williamsburg, Virginia, as best man. The Union officer was dressed in blue, the Confederate officer in grey, and Custer being Custer spent the next two weeks flirting with the Southern belle cousin of the bride, even joining her in singing “Dixie.” At one point she told him, “You ought to be in our army.” “What would you give me if I resigned my commission in the Northern army and joined the Southern?” “You are not in earnest, are you?” He wasn’t, of course. Custer was nothing if not loyal, and he believed that he was bound to the Union by the oath he had sworn at West Point, whatever his affection for Southern officers and their ladies. Such gallantry seems unthinkable today, when members of the Trump administration are hounded from restaurants and theatres, and Confederate officers like John Lea, if they are remembered at all, are considered precursors of the German National Socialists, and their once famous and respected commanders like Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Jeb Stuart have their statues toppled and banished from public squares, their names stripped from public schools, and their memories spat upon and disgraced. The difference between the America of today and the America of what seems like just yesterday is that we once had a common culture. As recently as 1990, Ken Burns could make a Civil War documentary for PBS and let historian Shelby Foote wax eloquent on the martial prowess of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest — something that now would likely get them both tarred, feathered, and Twitter-banned. (How much more Liberal everyone was back at the Civil War How can I say that? Because real liberalism, or in my own mind, real Americanism, means staying civilized, respectful of others, tolerant of differences, open to discussion, and staying away from hateful behaviors. But we all know how things are today... and it's so very, very tragic. --Del)

Debt

Before your readers take on student loan debt for grad school, they should know how much debt and income they could have with their new degree. Until now, that information has been difficult to come by. Using our proprietary data we analyzed 91,000 student loan borrowers with graduate degrees to reveal which degrees carry the most student loan debt in relation to income after graduation.

I thought you’d appreciate this new analysis from Credible because you’ve touched on student loan debt in the past.

Here are a few highlights:
  • Dentists take out the most in student loans (a whopping median of $236,739!).
  • Veterinarians and optometrists devote the highest percentage of their income to student loans.
  • Computer scientists, MBA holders, and nurses allocate the smallest proportion of their monthly earnings to pay down their student loan debt.
It would be really interesting to see how your audience would respond to that. Will you let me know what you think of the results? :)

If you’re interested, I can send you the embed codes to all the charts :)

Thanks,

Qur'an hate speech?

Danish imam charged over call to kill Jews
Excerpt: Danish prosecutors on Tuesday charged an imam with calling for the killing of Jews in the first case of its kind in the Nordic nation and which sparked political outrage. Imam Mundhir Abdallah, who preaches in the Copenhagen neighbourhood of Norrebro at the Masjid Al-Faruq mosque, which media have linked to radical Islam, is accused of citing a hadith or koranic narrative calling for Muslims to rise up against Jews. "Judgement Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them," Abdallah said in a Facebook and YouTube video post in March.
