In an environment of threats and fear, Kansans have the chance to create a more loving state – Kansas Reflector

Kansas Reflector welcomes opinion pieces from writers who share our goal of widening the conversation about how public policies affect the day-to-day lives of people throughout our state. Brenan Riffel is a graduate student studying higher education administration at the University of Kansas, where she serves as both an academic advisor and assistant complex director.

I truly believe that people in their very nature are good. I believe that all of us are filled with love and compassion.

However, we have been conditioned and taught that we have to understand before we can show compassion. Our social and political climate has ingrained in us that conceding or admitting to not understanding something is losing ground. Examine the political rhetoric today, and you will see what I mean.

There is this idea that liberals and conservatives are in competition with each other, which is not unfounded or untrue. However, our fight for our ideals isnt because both groups are pushing further and further to the extremes of the political spectrum. Its because rather than being progressive and open-minded, weve created a system where the loudest and angriest bunch win.

Debates are no longer tied to who brings up the better points. Instead, we focus on who can control the conversation. Right now, the alt-right is screaming the loudest, while stripping away our basic human rights. Many of us are angry, upset and distraught.

This is not the end.

Yes, our rights are being threatened, but not all is lost. We can get riled up, too. We can pour our compassion and love into a fervor that shouts loudly into our government offices at our city, state and national levels. We have to activate and mobilize in a way that is most American with our voices and with our votes, not with a petty, violent attack on our capitol.

We have to shift our attention. We cannot waste time entertaining those who have no intention of opening their world view. We have to prevent misinformation and call it out when we see it.

We may be walking through a downpour of toxic vitriol, but a storm can only last for so long.

Yes, our rights are being threatened, but not all is lost. We can get riled up, too. We can pour our compassion and love into a fervor that shouts loudly into our government offices at our city, state and national levels.

The most imperative thing for the future of Kansas and for our country is to promote and spread messages of unity and teach others to do the same. We cannot look forward to a future in which we entertain or give credence to messages of discord and dissonance.

Our country was built with systems of inequality purposefully put in place. One of the most patriotic things you can do is be critical of your country. Since our countrys founding, our Constitution and laws have been amended and expanded to include more and more people.

Is it perfect? No.

Does it still exclude and create a system that privileges some and diminishes others? Yes.

Does that mean we should stop working on it? Absolutely not.

We may not get things right on our first go, but that doesnt mean we should stop improving our laws and each other.

Including others does not take away from your own personal liberties. Womens (or transmasc and nonbinary folx- anyone with the capability of becoming pregnant) ability to make medical decisions for themselves does not take away from your own personal liberties to make decisions for your body.

When I buy a skirt and a blouse and wear them outside, that does not take away from your personal choice to wear whatever you want.

We must strive for choice, and we must strive for compassion. We need to teach that it is OK to be wrong, and it is OK to change your mind.

We dont have time to attack each other. If we keep attacking each other, we are going to run out of time to protect ourselves. The issue isnt that we dont care about each other, but that we allow feelings of fear and hate to guide us rather than compassion and love we have for each other. We must show that compassion and unity will prevail, and we must show this through civic engagement.

As some of you may know, Im a fairly nerdy person. I hope to continue writing opinion pieces for Kansas Reflector and feel the need to close out this piece with a quote that feels inspirational for these times.

Good is good in the final hour in the deepest pit without hope, without witness, without reward. Virtue is only virtue in extremis. River Song, Doctor Who

In these extreme times, remain virtuous, remain kind, and remember unity.

Kansas needs unity, our country needs kindness and our kids need a compassionate future.

Through its opinion section, the Kansas Reflector works to amplify the voices of people who are affected by public policies or excluded from public debate. Find information, including how to submit your own commentary,here.

Steve Bannon Found Guilty of Contempt Related to Jan. 6 Inquiry – The New York Times

WASHINGTON For weeks, Stephen K. Bannon, a former top adviser to President Donald J. Trump, delivered heated speeches about his pending trial, promising at one point to go medieval on the prosecutors who had charged him with refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

But once in court, he decided not to testify or mount any other sort of defense, and on Friday, Mr. Bannon was convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress.

The jurys verdict, reached after less than three hours of deliberations, came one day after video of Mr. Bannon briefly appeared in a public hearing of the House committee he had snubbed. Investigators played a clip of him saying that Mr. Trump had planned to declare victory in the 2020 election, no matter what the results were.

Mr. Bannon, 68, remained defiant in remarks outside the courthouse, saying the prosecutions assertion that he had chosen allegiance to Donald Trump over compliance with the law was correct, but omitted an important detail.

I stand with Trump and the Constitution, Mr. Bannon said. I will never back off that.

On Fox News later on Friday, Mr. Bannon lashed out at the committee, calling for the defeat of its members and an investigation of its staff. I would tell the Jan. 6 staff right now: Preserve your documents, Mr. Bannon said, because theres going to be a real committee once Republicans take power in Congress.

Judge Carl J. Nichols set a sentencing date in late October, but David I. Schoen, a lawyer for Mr. Bannon, said his client would appeal the guilty verdict.

Mr. Bannons conviction was the latest turn in a tumultuous political career that over the years saw him take a leading role in bringing together right-wing media, presidential politics and America First-style populism. He helped found the website Breitbart News, which he once described as a platform for the alt-right, a loosely affiliated collection of racists, misogynists and Islamophobes that rose to prominence around the time of Mr. Trumps first campaign.

Beginning in 2016, Mr. Bannon served as the campaigns chief architect, helping Mr. Trump craft his divisive, populist message. He was brought into the White House after Mr. Trumps victory to work as a strategist and senior counselor to the president, but lasted only seven months before returning to Breitbart.

Mr. Trump ultimately pardoned Mr. Bannon in his final hours in office.

After Mr. Trumps defeat in the 2020 election, Mr. Bannon once again came to his aid. He worked with Peter Navarro, a White House adviser, to devise a strategy to keep the president in office that they called the Green Bay Sweep. The plan called for Republican members of the House and Senate to block the counting of Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, 2021, so that lawmakers in key swing states could decertify the vote results in their states and hand Mr. Trump a victory.

Making a case against Trump. The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack is laying out a comprehensive narrativeof President Donald J. Trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Here are the main themes that have emerged so far from eight public hearings:

Mr. Bannons conviction was the first of a close aide to Mr. Trump to result from one of the chief investigations into the Capitol attack. Mr. Navarro has also been charged with contempt after defying a subpoena from the House committee and is scheduled to go on trial in November.

Mr. Bannon, who left the White House in 2017, was indicted last November. He has remained free without bail, as prosecutors did not ask the court to detain him.

Contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor, with each count punishable by a fine of up to $100,000 and a maximum of 12 months in prison. At the time, the filing of charges against him was widely seen as proof that the Justice Department could take an aggressive stance against some of Mr. Trumps top allies as the House seeks to develop a fuller picture of the actions of the former president and his inner circle before and during the attack.

Despite the legal wranglings that preceded his trial, Mr. Bannons guilt or innocence ultimately turned on a straightforward question: whether he had defied the House committee by flouting its subpoena. This case is not complicated, but it is important, Molly Gaston, a federal prosecutor, said in a closing statement on Friday.

Ms. Gaston told the jury that the House committee had wanted to ask Mr. Bannon about his presence at the Willard Hotel before the Capitol attack, where plans to overturn the election were discussed, and about his statement the day before the assault that all hell was going to break loose on Jan. 6.

But, she argued, Mr. Bannon had blatantly disregarded the committees demands in order to protect his former boss.

During his own summation, M. Evan Corcoran, one of Mr. Bannons lawyers, sought to argue that the subpoena his client had received had been improperly signed by the committee, adding for the jury that Mr. Bannon had not intentionally failed to comply with it. Mr. Corcoran also noted, trying to suggest a whiff of impropriety, that a prosecutor on the case and one of the governments witnesses had belonged to the same book club.

Before court started on Friday, Mr. Bannons legal team made a written request to Judge Nichols to ask the jurors if they had watched what the team described as the highly inflammatory segment of the prime-time committee hearing on Thursday that had featured Mr. Bannon. But Judge Nichols declined to poll the jurors.

Like many defendants, Mr. Bannon did not mount a defense case for the jury, deciding instead to rely on cross-examining the prosecutions two witnesses: a lawyer for the committee and an F.B.I. agent who had worked on the case.

Last week, the lawyers suggested that Mr. Bannon might take the stand, but in the end he decided against testifying.

Testimony in the trial ended on Wednesday as the prosecution rested its case against Mr. Bannon, arguing that he had willfully ignored the subpoena for both records and testimony even after being warned that he could face criminal charges.

The proceeding came down to the simple fact that Mr. Bannon had thumbed his nose at the law, prosecutors said.

Mr. Bannons lawyers countered that the deadlines set by the committee to receive their clients testimony and documents were flexible, one of the few lines of argument Judge Nichols had left open to the defense. In pretrial rulings, Judge Nichols had said that the lawyers were not allowed to argue to the jury that Mr. Bannon had received legal advice to disregard the subpoena or claim that Mr. Trump had personally authorized him to do so.

Mr. Bannon has a full story for why he didnt show up his advice of counsel, the invocation of executive privilege, questions about its validity and so on, Mr. Schoen, the lawyer for Mr. Bannon, argued in court this week before the trial had begun. All of these defenses and his story of the case have been barred by the court at the governments request.

With his options limited, Mr. Corcoran contended during the trial that the subpoena and the prosecutions case itself were politically motivated.

Before the trial began, Mr. Bannon reversed course and offered to testify before the Jan. 6 committee. But prosecutors have portrayed that move as a last-ditch attempt to avoid the charges.

Judge Nichols also denied multiple requests from the defense to delay the trial, first stemming from concerns that the public hearings held by the Jan. 6 committee and continuous news coverage of the trial would taint the jury pool and later because the defense said it was unprepared to argue its case after the constraints Judge Nichols had placed on its potential arguments.

The Wendy Williams Shows YouTube Channel Is Gone – Them

Many people, myself included, have experienced something akin to emotional whiplash with this latest news, as if we had to speed through stages of grief while riding Kingda Ka. I was shocked when I read it and couldnt fathom what it would mean to not have Wendys trademark Wendy-isms at my beck and call. What will my day be like without a How you doooin? or her asking her audience to Clap if as a means of audience polling. Then, of course, came the pain that my friends and I shared in our group chat. I began to bargain: why cant you take all of alt-right YouTube instead, Lord? And then I began to feel the magnitude of the loss.

This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.

Its getting really hard to keep track of Disneys stance on queer issues and whether the right or left hates them at any given moment.

Yes, there will always be Wendy clips online. Classics like the confrontational Omarosa interview and the infamous What was that? reaction video have circulated far beyond the repository that was the hit daytime shows YouTube page. And of course, there are plenty of pages dedicated to making compilations that will never fail to pull a smile out of me.

But for every bop that rightfully boomerangs all over the internet, there are countless other deep cuts and B-sides that are lesser known but no less cherished. For example, theres the interview with Rita Moreno where she confesses to Wendy that she slept with Elvis Presley just to get back at Marlon Brando. Who else would Moreno tell this to!? Or take the clip where Wendy mistakenly laughs that Pete Davidsons father is not in his life before an audience member informs her that he actually died during the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. Macabre? Sure. But that was the beauty of the Wendy show. So much of the humor came from the unscalable heights of her charisma, but so much of it was also incidental. Though her show was built around gossip, the air around it was one of festivity, disarming fun and nonchalant joy. As the world turns to shit, its going to be hard to get through it without her.

‘Minions 2’ And ‘Stranger Things’ Show The Power Of Original Franchises – Forbes

'Minions: The Rise of Gru' and 'Stranger Things season four

Despicable Me was a new IP aimed at todays kids, while Stranger Things works for young audiences who couldn't care less about its pop-culture inspirations.

I dont think that the various Tik-Tok kids who showed up to theatrical showings of Minions: The Rise of Gru wearing suits made the difference between an $85 million Fri-Mon opening (on par with Despicable Me 3) and a $125 million Fri-Mon opening (akin to Minions). This online meme/call-to-action was successful because it was directed at a film that the young participants wanted to see. The tongue may have been as much in cheek with #GentleMinions as it was with #MorbiusSweep. Still, participants either already wanted to see the Minions sequel in theaters or had a casual interest in a movie they expected to enjoy, which was pushed into ticket sold status by participating in this specific online game. Simply put, audiences showed up this weekend in droves because Minions: The Rise of Gru looked like a lot of fun. Of course, thats a vast simplification, or is it?

Despicable Me was a new franchise aimed at kids and not their parents.

Why did Minions: The Rise of Gru break a record for an Independence Day holiday opening weekend? Its partially for the same reason that Stranger Things has become the first English-language Netflix release to top 1.1 billion global hours viewed in the first 28 days. The middle school and high school-aged teens who showed up in theaters this weekend would have been young children when Despicable Me opened theatrically in 2010, and the kids who stumbled onto Stranger Things are now six years older. At the time, Illuminations Despicable Me was an original animated feature from an upstart studio (Illumination) aimed at kids of that moment in time. It wasnt a reboot, revamp or relaunch of a formerly successful IP from generations past. It was a new kid-targeted IP aimed at todays kids, which created new marquee characters (Gru, the Minions, etc.) and pop culture icons.

The Universal-released Despicable Me opened a week before Chris Nolans Inception, on the tail-end of when the mere idea of a big-budget animated fantasy, be it from DreamWorks, Pixar or Blue Sky, was an almost automatic theatrical event. Despicable Me grossed $251 million domestic from a $56 million debut and $543 million worldwide on a $69 million budget. It was also a leggy and crowd-pleasing performer in theaters and at home. Despicable Me 2 was not the result of franchise plans or cinematic universe aspirations but because moviegoers saw and liked the first film. Despicable Me 2 earned $368 million domestic in July 2013 from a $143 million holiday debut and $975 million global on a $76 million budget, more than any prior animated release ever at the time. Minions grossed $1.1 billion in July 2015, while Despicable Me 3 earned $1 billion in July 2017.

Minions: The Rise of Gru was supposed to open in July 2020, five years after Minions and three years after Despicable Me 3. It has now been five years since the respective last installment. Absence did make the heart grow fonder. Those young kids who grew up on the series aged to tweens, teens and young adults who never stopped at least somewhat enjoying the anarchic and comparatively non-sentimental antics of the mad scientist and his bizarre, yellow-skinned henchmen. It was, alongside DreamWorks Animations How to Train Your Dragon (2010, 2014 and 2019), the definitive animated franchise of the 2010s. It was aimed at kids instead of nostalgic adults. In 2022, Minions is still cool in that semi-ironic Shrek fashion. It also serves as a grim piece of pre-Covid nostalgia for kids who have spent much of their lives suffering through a Trump presidency and a global pandemic.

Merely ripping off Point Break or Flash Gordon gets you The Fast and the Furious or Star Wars.

Meanwhile, Netflixs Stranger Things was a comparative underdog when it debuted in the summer of 2016. It wore its references and inspirations on its sleeve. Still, the Duffer brothers.-created 80s-set supernatural thriller was an original story with new characters who, by the shows relative quality and appeal to kids entirely unaware of the references, became themselves marquee characters. Audiences who watched the fourth season didnt care as much about the pop culture homages or needle drops. They wanted to see what happened next to Eleven, Steve, Nancy, Max, Mike, June (Winona Ryder in a shrewd casting) and Hopper. Kids who loved Star Wars didnt know or care about John Ford westerns, Flash Gordon serials or Akira Kurosawa actioners. Stranger Things has become a massive hit with kids who dont have Pavlovian responses to 80s pop culture callbacks. Its a defining rip-off, dont remake triumph.

It stinks that the decade since The Amazing Spider-Man has seen a total normalization of reboots. A 2007 movie like Disturbia, which ripped off Rear Window (quite well, natch), is now downright aspirational. Hollywood would now remake Rear Window (possibly as a six-hour eight-part Peacock miniseries). This is partially because corporate consolidation has led to big companies getting the rights to make the genuine article. Amazon doesnt need to make their own Robocop (which was itself a resurrection fable by way of The Wraith) when they can just reboot the existing MGM-owned IP. To be fair, Sony and Universal showed with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jurassic World that you can make something old feel new again. However, when you merely rip off Point Break, you get The Fast and the Furious and pop culture icons (Dom, Letty, Brian, Han, Hobbs, etc.) from that $6.6 billion-grossing franchise.

When you mix James Bond with Alan Quarterman, you get Indiana Jones. When you rip off Poltergeist with a modern sensibility, you get Insidious, which is currently developing its fifth installment. Does anyone remember the 2015 remakes of Poltergeist or Point Break? The Child's Play remake did its own thing alongside Don Mancinis previous Chucky flicks and the ongoing Syfy television series. But its a one-and-done, like most remakes. Meanwhile, Annabelle was a blockbuster spin-off trilogy of evil doll chillers that helped push the Conjuring Universe past $2 billion global. Stranger Things remains Netflixs crowning achievement regarding worldwide viewership and IP viability. Its become so successful that actual 80s-set properties and revamps like It and Ghostbusters: Afterlife have essentially tried to crib its style. It didnt invent 80s pop culture nostalgia (see also: The Wedding Singer and Super 8), but it arguably perfected it.

'Minions: The Rise of Gru'

Minions: The Rise of Gru and Stranger Things season four were generational coronations.

Weve been dissecting the terrible performance of Pixars Lightyear for the last three weeks, and Id be inclined to say, Whoops, Solo: A Star Wars Story again! and leave it at that save for the consequences of its failure. The entire theatrical future of Disneys animated films is now at stake. We now must deal with alt-right political actors proclaiming Lightyears failure as tied to online controversy over A) a same-sex kiss between two married grandmothers and B) Chris Evans replacing Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear. Meanwhile, those same demos declare the triumph of Minions 2 as an anti-woke victory even as Minions are asexual and occasionally dress in drag. The same folks crowing about Top Gun: Maverick being a victory for conservative entertainment would be the same ones pointing out its multiple minority characters (including... gasp, a lady pilot) had it tanked.

Top Gun: Maverick and Transformers are a testament to the potential for adult-skewing nostalgia. Concurrently, Minions and Stranger Things are examples of new franchises aimed at todays kids being successful enough to become iconic and pop culture-shaping regardless of the homages, references or past-tense inspirations. Following years of Covid-caused delay, these new installments acted as generational coronations for both respective franchises. Their reception celebrated the triumph of the (comparatively) new amid a near-constant flow of refurbished, recycled and relaunched hand-me-downs with huge box office and viewership partially driven by the demographics which helped make them successful in the first place. The #GentleMinions meme and the record-crushing Stranger Things ratings are prime examples of what can still happen when you create new kid-friendly entertainment for todays kids. After all, you make more money from the first Harry Potter than trying to discover the next Harry Potter.

Alt-Right Incels at Deep State Daily Stormer Site Celebrate Buffalo …

Guest post by Alt-Right Exposed

Right on cue, the Deep State Alt Right movement has been activated in order to conflate President Trump and Republicans with racism, and hatred of women, ahead of the mid term elections.

Andrew Weev Auernheimer, webmaster of the Deep State Neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website, publicly praised the cowardly mass shooting and terrorist attack, by one of his followers, against innocent Black Americans in Buffalo, New York on March 14th.

On the Poast social media platform, WeevstatedViolence works. Terrorism works., and They have launched open war against us, and occasionally there are a few heroes that are willing to respond in kind. I support anyone that kills Democrats.

TRENDING: BREAKING: Highland Park Shooting Suspect Bobby Crimo III Taken Into Custody After Brief Police Chase (VIDEO)

In numerous articles on the Daily Stormer, and on their Gamer Uprising forum, posters have been celebrating the attack, and calling for more violence.

Andrew Weev Auernheimer is a convicted computer hacker, who was sent to prison after being caught stealing and doxxing over 100,000 iPad users.

Mysteriously, Weev was suddenly released by Obamas Justice Department, after serving only 13 months of a 41 month sentence. As soon as he left federal prison, Auernheimer immediately started to praise convicted Oklahoma City terrorist Timothy McVeigh, and he publicly called for statues to be erected of terrorists who attacked the United States government.

Weevthen fled to Ukraine, where he suddenly had someone tattoo a swastika on his chest, and started Sieg Heiling, while attempting to align himself with Donald Trump, during Trumps 2016 presidential election campaign.

This is all eerily reminiscent of Alt-Right leaderRichard Spencersuddenly doing Sieg Heils and praising President Trump right around the same time.

It has long been considered common knowledge on right wing message boards that Andrew Weev Auernheimer cut some sort of a deal with the feds, to get out of jail early in order to infiltrate, disrupt and neutralize the right wing.

Weev, who is of of Jewish descent, according to his ownmother, ingratiated himself to Neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin, editor of a site called Total Fascism, which was later became the Daily Stormer. Anglin allowed Weev to become the webmaster of the site, despite his ethnicity and his early release from federal prison.

Weev and Andrew Anglin registered the Daily Stormer in Russia, in order to conflate Trump and conservatism with Russia, during the 2016 election. If these two were not taking orders directly from Adam Schiff, it is hard to tell how they would act any differently.

The alleged Buffalo shooter, 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron, was an avid reader, and a huge fan of the Daily Stormer. Gendron promoted and praised the site by name in his manifesto, while describing himself as a Neo-Nazi, a white supremacist, and an incel. All of these buzzwords are constantly being bandied about on the Daily Stormer and on their forum.

Gendron also shared a lot of Daily Stormer memes on a Discord channel which has long been considered an FBI honeypot on 4chan.

Weev and Anglin recently switched the sites domain to a registrar in Communist China, but the CCP dumped them after the Buffalo shooting. It seems that promoting terrorism is a bit much for even the Chinese Communist Party to stomach, at least publicly.

The site is now only accessible on the Tor network, which is park of the Deep Web, or Dark Net, where drugs and child pornography are routinely trafficked.

The official Daily Stormer forum, Gamer Uprising, is still up and running on the regular Internet. A whois search of Gamer Uprising indicates that the forum is registered in Tonga, and is hosted in the state of Washington, on the notorious vanwa.tech.

It turns out that vanwa.tech is being kept online by a shady Russian company calledDDoS-Guard, which is the host of the official website of the terrorist groupHamas. Vanwa also hosts the8chanforum, where the Buffalo shooter just happened to post and hang out on. Just a coincidence, we are sure.

For most of the existence of the site, Anglin advocated Neo-Nazism, and called for the extermination of Jews, and the ethnic cleansing of all non-whites. As soon as Weev became involved, the site took an even darker turn, if that is possible, in which they started calling for the kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder of women and teenage girls, in addition to committing terrorism against all minorities.

Timeandagain, have documented how the Daily Stormer started promoting the Incel movement in the past.

The incel, or involuntary celibate movement is composed of losers who hate and demean women, because they lack proper hygiene and basic social skills. Most of them are addicted to pornography, so they do not have the courage to approach women without coming across as creepy.

Due to being constantly rejected by normal women, the incels become bitter and lash out at women, often threatening to rape them. Some, like Elliot Rodger, who is often praised on the Daily Stormer,murderedtwo people, all because of his inability to approach women.

In one recentarticle, Andrew Anglin celebrated the stabbing death of a 13 year old Florida cheerleader, Trystin Bailey, in 2021. While the rest of the world reeled back in horror at this gruesome, cowardly murder, Weev and Andrew Anglin celebrated it.

If all of this activity were confined to the Dark Web, that would be one thing. However, the incel movement that Weev and Andrew Anglin started, is beginning to become popular, even among young influencers on the right, who should know better.

The Daily Stormer is promoting and endorsing Donald Trump again, in order to, once again, conflate support for Trump with racism, terrorism, and hatred and violence against women. The exact same people did the exact same thing during the first year of President Trumps term, when they encouraged the attack on Charlottesville.

These incels and Neo-Nazis are not conservatives.

They are not traditional.

They hate Christianity and everything that the West stands for.

They are not part of our culture.

They are not American, and most importantly, they will not replace us.
