“Black folks are being found hanged in America. This is a national crisis and we CANNOT stand by while strange fruit hangs from trees across the country. We're demanding a federal investigation NOW so we can stop modern-day lynchings.

This year, there have already been 10 reported hangings of Black people in the U.S. I’m proud to have signed onto
@RepPressley

‘s letter to address these widespread modern-day lynchings and put a stop to this racial terror.




Given the indisputable reality that   Most reported 2026 Black hangings were ruled suicides by police/MEs with no foul play (e.g. Bassinga, Nzita, Jackson). One (Fortune) is a homicide probe pending autopsy, Black POI. None confirmed as lynchings or racial terror” it would be understandable to assume that this is just another campaign by foreign bots sewing disinformation and trying to divide and polarize Americans.  We’ve seen it for years. 

But,, of courre, the posters inventing a campaign of a racial terror are elected demcorats, members of the infamous squad. It’s not unsurprising that racist demcorats whose entire career depends on creating division between Americans would stoop to making these claims, but it’s a good example of how much  damage they are causing.  People beleive this nonsense, as we saw their lies about cops causing millions of demcorats to believe cops shoot thousands of unarmed blacks each year. Now the are trying to stoke hysteria over imaginary lynchings. Very sad for our country.

The replica, which appeared on the bonfire in Moygashel, County Tyrone, has been described as a "horrible racist display" and as "sowing hate".
Bonfires are lit across Northern Ireland as part of celebrations in some unionist areas, ahead of the Orange Order's 12 July parades.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said its "significant and complex policing operation" to remove a "hate display" was at an "advanced stage when the bonfire was lit".

Of course, burning the Pope and other symbols of Catholicism have been perfectly acceptable for the last 300 years as part of the Orange Order's July celebrations.  Desecration and blasphemy are perfectly acceptable when the target is Christianity. 
When it's Mohammed...

And, of course, France beat Morocco in Soccer. That caused riots in London. Now, you might be confused why a soccer game between France and Morocco would cause riots in London if you think of London as an English city. But it's not. Nor do the police treat disturbances the same. When the Moroccans on British soil riot, the police run away. When natives protest the murder of an innocent man and the police response to it, the police attack the protesters.

James Michael Curley, a four-time mayor of Boston, used wasteful redistribution to his poor Irish
constituents and incendiary rhetoric to encourage richer citizens to emigrate from Boston, thereby shaping
the electorate in his favor. Boston as a consequence stagnated, but Curley kept winning elections. We
present a model of the Curley effect, in which inefficient redistributive policies are sought not by interest
groups protecting their rents, but by incumbent politicians trying to shape the electorate through
emigration of their opponents or reinforcement of class identities. The model sheds light on ethnic
politics in the United States and abroad, as well as on class politics in many countries including Britain

He is a "fascist." He is comparable to Hitler. Then-Vice President Kamala Harris compared Trump to Hitler and explicitly called him a "fascist" during the 2024 race. Representative Jasmine Crockett called Trump a "wannabe Hitler." Hillary Clinton said Trump was "reenacting" a 1939 Nazi rally. Then-President Joe Biden accused Trump of using "Hitler's language."  
Representative Ted Lieu of California has repeatedly promoted the charge that the president raped children. These are not fringe voices. These are sitting and former members of Congress, presidential candidates, and party leaders.  
Allen's manifesto, written minutes before the attack, declared: "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes." He also wrote: "I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done."     
Hours after the shooting, no prominent Democratic politician stood before cameras to ask whether their own language had contributed to this. They did not need to. The words in that manifesto — pedophile, rapist, traitor, fascist, Hitler — are the precise words their party has been broadcasting for years.
Democratic politicians aside, there is also the vast apparatus of left-leaning cable news and social media. The phrase "pedophile, rapist, and traitor" is so commonplace in liberal circles that it appears across social media platforms, on t-shirts, in op-eds, and in the commentary of talk show hosts and members of Congress. Allen had an account on Bluesky, where such language flows freely and daily.
Democratic strategist James Carville compared Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden to a Nazi rally. Democratic strategist Aisha Mills claimed on CNN that Trump "revered the Nazis, revered Hitler." These are not obscure bloggers. These are the party's most prominent voices, given prime airtime on the nation's major networks.  
The point of making this connection is not to say that any individual Democratic politician or cable news host pulled the trigger. But the attempt on the President's life at the Correspondents' Dinner is the third such incident in under two years. A man attempted to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh. An ICE facility was attacked. Charlie Kirk was killed. A pattern is visible to anyone willing to look at it honestly
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said it plainly: "The entire Democrat Party has made their pitch to voters across the country that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to democracy, that he is a fascist and that they compare him to Hitler. These are despicable statements that the American people have been consuming for years, and so many mentally perturbed individuals are led to believe these words are truth, and then are inspired to act on it."  
Some of the politicians who traffic in this language do so cynically. They know Trump is not literally Hitler. They know he is not a pedophile in any documented sense. They know these are not factual descriptions but rhetorical weapons — designed to raise money, mobilize voters, and win power. When the words metastasize in a troubled mind into a conviction that violence is not just justified but morally required, the architects of that language will express shock and grief. They will say the shooter was mentally ill. They will say no connection can be drawn.
But the words in Cole Allen's manifesto did not come from nowhere. They came from years of a political and media ecosystem that told its audience, day after day, that the President of the United States was not a political opponent to be defeated — but a monster to be stopped by any means necessary.
In American history, it would not be the first time that dehumanizing rhetoric, deployed for political gain, produced consequences its authors preferred not to own.

Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.

]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2026 15:25:24 -0500 http://thenewstalkers.com/s/blog/3012/a-reminder-why-you-shouldnt-equate-the-posiiton-of-jews-in-germany-with-illegal-migrants http://thenewstalkers.com/s/blog/3012
Many people—including Jewish organizations and historians—argue that this comparison is misleading and can slide into antisemitic tropes, even when that isn’t the speaker’s intent. The concerns usually fall into several overlapping reasons:


1. It trivializes the unique persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany

Jewish citizens of Germany were:

Native-born citizens with full legal status


Systematically stripped of rights because of who they were, not what they did


Targeted under a state ideology explicitly aimed at elimination, culminating in genocide


By contrast, migrants in the U.S.:

Are not targeted for extermination


Are subject to immigration law, which—however harsh or contested—is not based on racial extermination or biological ideology


Have access to courts, advocacy, and constitutional protections (even if imperfectly applied)


Equating the two can minimize the unprecedented nature of the Holocaust and the ideology behind it.


2. It echoes a classic antisemitic inversion

A longstanding antisemitic trope is role reversal, where Jews are recast as oppressors and non-Jews as Holocaust-era victims. Comparing U.S. immigration enforcement to Nazi treatment of Jews can:

Implicitly suggest that Jews (or a “Jewish state” or “Jewish interests”) are now doing to others what was done to them


Flatten moral distinctions in a way that fuels resentment rather than understanding


This kind of inversion is widely criticized by Jewish scholars and groups because it repackages antisemitic narratives in contemporary language.


3. It erases citizenship and legal reality

German Jews were citizens first, Jews second—and were persecuted despite compliance with the law.
Migrants, by definition, are defined by cross-border movement and legal status, not ethnicity or religion. Treating these situations as analogous:

Obscures the difference between identity-based persecution and status-based regulation


Misleads audiences about what actually happened in 1930s–40s Germany


This historical flattening undermines serious discussion of both immigration policy and antisemitism.


4. It instrumentalizes Jewish trauma for political argument

Many Jews object not only because the analogy is inaccurate, but because it:

Uses the Holocaust as a rhetorical weapon rather than a historical reality


Treats Jewish suffering as a universal metaphor, detached from Jewish history


Encourages “moral shock” instead of careful reasoning


This can feel exploitative, especially when Jews themselves object to the comparison.


5. It discourages honest critique of immigration policy

Ironically, the analogy can weaken legitimate criticism of U.S. immigration enforcement by:

Inviting backlash and dismissal


Shifting focus from concrete policy harms to Holocaust debates


Alienating Jewish allies who might otherwise support reform


Strong arguments about migrant treatment stand on their own without invoking Nazi analogies.


Bottom line

Comparing Jewish citizens of Nazi Germany to migrants in the United States is misleading because it:

Confuses genocide with law enforcement


Citizenship-based persecution with immigration regulation


Identity with legal status


It is often seen as “kind of antisemitic” not because it criticizes U.S. policy, but because it distorts Jewish history, repurposes Jewish trauma, and echoes antisemitic narrative patterns, even if unintentionally.
If you want, I can also explain how to criticize immigration policy forcefully without triggering these concerns, or point to statements from Jewish organizations explaining why they reject Holocaust analogies.]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2026 12:59:58 -0500 http://thenewstalkers.com/s/blog/3011/a-plan-to-for-america-to-own-greenland-in-a-way-to-make-progressive-americans-happy http://thenewstalkers.com/s/blog/3011 What do progressives love? Diversity! Greenland is one of the least diverse places on earth!  Progressives can't like that.
So why don't we ship tens of thousands of American migrants (mainly unaccompanied  single men of military  age) to Greenland on boats? 50,000 Americans bring instant diversity and will wipe out that monoculture that progressives hate. The Americans will of course demand special treatment, as migrants do. When they commit crimes, they will receive less punishment than natives.  Greenland will have to bankrupt itself taking care of the American migrants who will rely on Greenland to provide all the basic enmities of life. The Americans will displace the natives from their homes or be be put up for free in the best hotels and send the cost of housing skyrocketing. And once they are there a for a few months they can co-opt at least one party  by funneling back some of the taxpayer aid they reive from Greenland, giving them a captive political party to control.  Under progressive doctrine, these migrants are now full Greenlanders, with just as much a right to control Greenland as the native population.
So then the  co-opted party will agitate for the American migrants right to vote.  It would be inhumane not to let them do so. Then within a year or two, Greenland's "diverse" government sells Greenland to America democratically without a shot being fired. 
Everybody wins!

These young teens were killed by an illegal alien drunk driver protected by the State of Minnesota, a "sanctuary state".  Did the Governor attend vigils for them?  Did thousands of progressives take to the streets to protest the policies that enabled their murder?
OF course not. The story was a local blip. Just another couple kids killed by illegal aliens who Democrats care more about protecting than they they do kids like them.  
What actually enrages progressives and causes them to lose their minds?
A government agency enforcing immigration and deporting people like who were caugt so far during the Minnessora ICE surge:
    Sriudorn Phaivan, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of strong-arm sodomy of a boy & strong-arm sodomy of a girl with a deportation order since 2018.
    Tou Vang, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of sexual assault and sodomy of a girl under age 13 and procuring a child for prostitution with a deportation order since 2006.
    Chong Vue, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of the strong-arm rape of a 12-year-old girl and kidnapping a child with intent to sexually assault her, with a deportation order since 2004,      Ge Yang, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of strong-arm rape, aggravated assault with a weapon, and strangulation with a deportation order since 2012.   ...
and the list goes on and on... https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/2010101496034074739?s=20
Dead American kids needlessly killed because of laws sanctuary laws that protect illegals... who cares?
Trying to enforce the laws against violent illegal predators? Let's form groups to stop protect foreign criminals..
Now they almost have a martyr to rally behind, and damnit, they aren't going to let facts keep them from making her one.  They'll protest and threaten LEOs and justify patently dangerous and illegal behavior jsut so long as it gives them a talking point they can use in their quest  to protect foreign criminals. 
Americans must die so the Sriudorn Phaivan's of the world can roam free in our streets, and certain types of progressives aren't going to let videos or common sense stop them. Lies to protect the Sriudorn Phaivan's amongst us are justified.

But that's what happens when peoples' brains are so corrupted by anti-American and anti-western civilization propaganda.  The fools align with anyone else who opposes it, under a sort of enemy of my enemy is my friend mindset.
But radical islamists  are not left wingers friends. This played out in Iran when the left wingers allied with the religious fanatics to throw out the Shah. The theocracy that followed, as anyone with a brain knew would happen, then murdered their left wing "allies."  The communists do the same when they take power. The moderate liberals (Lenin's original useful idiots) get the same bullet the die hard tsarists got.  But so many progressives attraction to the destruction of capitalism and western civilization makes them overlook their certain fate and support the fanatics.  Just see the wealth left wingers in NYC fawn over a radical who hates them.  There some deep rooted psych issues at play. 
It's almost like watching a movie play out in real time.  The idiots in the crowd cheering on their eventual destroyer is one of the oldest themes in western civilization from Thucydides and Tacitus on down.

Last week, @Reuters published an article on the Charlie Kirk assassination that falsely attributed a quote to Rachel Kleinfeld , a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The article claimed Kleinfeld said “the bullet casings’ symbology suggested the shooter was affiliated with the Groyper movement, tied to far-right activist Nick Fuentes.” Kleinfeld never made this statement. After she complained, Reuters quietly removed the quote without acknowledging the error. Only after Kleinfeld and her colleagues demanded a formal retraction did Reuters comply—three days later.

I'd have more sympathy with the Smithsonian here if I hadn't visited the National Museum of the American Indian, and seen ridiculous woke claptrap presented as fact. In particular, there was an exhibit on Native American soldiers. It asked why Native Americans served in the military despite the severe discrimination they faced.

he answer was that Native American tribes had a tradition of service to their fellows that was so strong it overcame their sense of mistreatment. This is ridiculous on two levels. The first is treating the many dozens of Native American tribes as if they are a single cultural entity, it would be like saying "Europeans" have X and Y cultural trait.
But also, it neglects the obvious answer that most Native Americans served for the same reasons as other Americans: (1) they were drafted; (2) patriotism (despite the discrimination); (3) a desire to go out and see the world; (4) the economic opportunities the military offered
I'm not saying that no tribes had particular cultural traditions that might have encouraged service. I'm saying suggesting this as *THE* reason, the only reason mentioned, is patently absurd
And that no serious historian, sociologist, or anthropologist would say such a thing if they weren't tainted by the political/ideological impetus of creating a nobility myth--(Not that there is anything wrong with serving for the other reasons!
So, yeah, I'm finding it hard to get myself into high dudgeon about political interference when the current standards are so low.

It's instant legitimacy for people who believe they are outside a system that is rigged against them.  Despite this, the Biden DOJ went ahead and charged him the exact same crime (mishandling classified information) that Trump refused to prosecute CLinton for and Biden also got a pass on. That's a dream scenario for a politician.
2.  Biden should have done everything short of declare war on New York to stop it from prosecuting Trump for those ridiculous crimes.   A ridiculous indictment after a prosecutor already passed on it for literally the same misdemeanor Hillary committed was another gift The reasoning about burnishing Trump's image applies in spades here.  Instead, they sent one of the leading attorneys in the DOJ to New York to handle the trial.  That indictment sealed the nomination for him. 
3. Be normal. Stop the costumes and being shrill scolds. Stop calling everyone who disagrees with you a fascist or Nazi, or garbage.
4.  Oppose open borders from the beginning. Keep the Trump EOs and work to reform the system.  Embracing open borders to the point cities had to cut their budgets to take care of illegal migrants was sheer lunacy and recognized as such  by everyone who isn't part of La Raza.
5.  Triangulate.  There are a numerous insane people in the democratic coalition. Instead of pandering to them (bail for terrorists!, sex changes for illegal migrants at the taxpayers expense) have a sista souljah moment and criticize the more extreme left wing positions.  Even a modicum of moderation would have been huge.  
6. Realize its not 1992 anymore. The Democrats are like tame house cats used to controlling the environment through a friendly media who always frames the story as they wish, or simply refuses to cover stories that put them in a bad light. The internet has been chipping away at their control but it fell apart with Musk's purchase of twitter. Suddenly, they couldn't control social media by having stories banned or muted. Zuck stopped helping and Twitter completely left Democrat's control.
Hiding Biden might have worked before Musk took over Twitter, but too many people can now see the evidence without it being censored. It made the heavy handed attempts to counter the videos of Biden's struggles (the unedited videos are deepfakes!) so ridiculous and destroyed the credibility of everyone involved. I still don't think Democrats how badly their conspiracy to cover up his condition destroyed their credibility. One issue they had on Trump and they went nuclear on the notion they had any more integrity than Trump.
Democrats (and the legacy media) have to learn to engage with voters who can't be so easily manipulated. They can't just lie about firing squads or very fine people without people having easy access to the truth.
7.  Hire a competent spokesperson. KJP did so much damage to Biden/Harris with her incompetence and lies. 
8.  Biden should have announced he wasn't running the day after midterms. It was obvious he's incapable of serving another term and it would have stopped the conspiracy and allowed Democrats to hold an actual primary and vote for their nominee. 
9.  Select Shapiro as the VP. Walz was such a clown and provided no benefit but comedic relief. If you look at the polls, the Vance Walz debate is when the election turned. Shapiro might not have been enough to win, but at least it would shown Democrats weren't afraid of having a Jewish person on the ticket.
10.  Offer some sort of program on the economy.  Focusing on tertiary issues while ignoring the elephant in the room was malpractice.
11. Stop the racialist obsession. The left's embrace of wokery starting about 10 years has done more damage to the nation's fabric than just about anything. It's designed to segregate and set Americans against each other. A reaction is inevitable.
