Ann Coulter: Happy Kwanzaa! The holiday brought to you by the FBI – Cleburne Times-Review

Kwanzaa, celebrated exclusively by white liberals, is a fake holiday invented in 1966 by black radical/FBI stooge Ron Karenga aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, founder of United Slaves, the violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers. Liberals have become so mesmerized by multicultural gibberish that they have forgotten the real history of Kwanzaa and Karengas United Slaves.

In what was ultimately a foolish gambit, during the madness of the 60s, the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the group, the better. (Its the same function MSNBC serves today.)

By that criterion, Karengas United Slaves was perfect.

Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of the 60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. Although some of their most high-profile leaders were drug dealers and murderers, they did not seek armed revolution.

Those were the precepts of Karengas United Slaves. The United Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers and adopting invented African names. (I will not be shooting any Black Panthers this week because I am Kwanzaa-reform, and we are not that observant.)

Its as if David Duke invented a holiday called Anglika, which he based on the philosophy of Mein Kampf and clueless public schoolteachers began celebrating the made-up, racist holiday.

In the category of the-gentleman-doth-protest-too-much, back in the 70s, Karenga was quick to criticize Nigerian newspapers that claimed that certain American black radicals were CIA operatives.

Now we know the truth: The FBI fueled the bloody rivalry between the Panthers and United Slaves. In the annals of the American 60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police. Whether Karenga was a willing FBI dupe, or just a dupe, remains unclear.

But the left has forgotten the FBIs tacit encouragement of this murderous black nationalist cult founded by the father of Kwanzaa.

In one barbarous outburst, Karengas United Slaves shot two Black Panthers to death on the UCLA campus: Al Bunchy Carter and John Huggins. Karenga himself served time a useful stepping-stone for his current position as the chair of the Africana Studies Department at California State University at Long Beach.

(Speaking of which, the cheap labor lobby certainly was right about how the GOP could easily win over socially conservative minorities. Look at how California has swung decisively to the right since whites became a minority there. Good luck winning California now, Democrats!)

Back to the esteemed Cal State professor: Karengas invented holiday is a nutty blend of schmaltzy 60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. The seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another invention of The Worst Generation.

In 1974, Patty Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, famously posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snakehead stood for one of the SLAs revolutionary principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani. These are the exact same seven principles of Kwanzaa, or Kawaida, as Karenga calls them. (And heres something interesting: Kawaida, Kwanzaa and Kuumba are also the only three Kardashian sisters not to have their own shows on the E! network.)

Kwanzaa praises collectivism in every possible area of life. It takes a village to raise a police snitch.

When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy underlying Kwanzaa, from classical Marxism, he essentially said that, under Kawaida, we also hate whites.

While taking the best of early Chinese and Cuban socialism (is that the mass murder, the imprisonment of homosexuals or the forced labor?), Karenga said Kawaida practitioners believe ones racial identity determines life conditions, life chances and self-understanding.

Theres an inclusive philosophy for you!

Sing to Jingle Bells:

Kwanzaa bells, dashikis sell

Whitey has to pay;

Burning, shooting, oh what fun

On this made-up holiday!

Kwanzaa emerged not from Africa, but from the FBIs COINTELPRO. It is a holiday celebrated exclusively by idiot white liberals. Black people celebrate Christmas.

Merry Christmas, fellow Christians!

Coulter wrong in blaming immigrants – Thegardenisland.com

Ann Coulter, the mouth(?)piece for the presidents 2020 campaign, has made it clear what Trumpism is about, and the stark choice presented in 2020 (TGI Forum, Dec. 14, A National View).

Trump stands for the modern American white male, which Ann hails as the most gentle, protective, chivalrous creature God has ever created. While sex crimes are otherwise rampant, sexual fetishes and abuse of underage women by white males has happened NEVER, says Coulter (overlooking Jeffrey Epstein, Tim Nolan, Harvey Weinstein, Richard Strauss, Larry Nassar, Thomas Incantalupo, Catholic Church pederasty scandal, David Carpenter, William French Anderson, John Burt, Jeffrey Dahlmer, Michael J. Devlin, George Feigley, Jared Fogel, Will Hayden, etc., etc.).

Trump is the bulwark protecting those gentle white creatures against other darker (in skin and deed) races, which are child-rape-happy cultures. Actual and thwarted immigrants are child kidnappers and child molesters. Ann says that although (i)ncest and child rape are not native American habits, immigrants come from primitive, peasant cultures whose hallmark includes not only those behaviors but (b)estial behavior towards women and children as well.

This would simply be overt ugly racism, unless the statistics established disproportionate immigrant criminality as a fact. Lets look.

Border state Texas, with over 15% foreign-born population, is the only state to directly track convictions by immigration status. Over 2011-2018, undocumented immigrants were about half as likely as native-born Americans, and legal immigrants were about 80% less likely than native-born Americans, to have been convicted of a crime.

For 2017 in Texas, according to one analysis, the conviction rate for 100,000 Texans of different groups was 1,702 for natives, 899 for illegal immigrants, and 599 for legal immigrants. Thus, illegal immigrants were over 47%, and legal immigrants 65% less likely to be convicted of a crime than native-born Americans.

For homicides in 2017, conviction rates for illegal and legal immigrants were 29% and 57% below those of natives. Ann might argue that conviction rates are artificially low, since the undocumented are often deported before conviction. But the arrest rate for illegal immigrants was 45% below, and legal immigrants 58% below, that of native-born Americans.

Coulter was talking of sex crimes. The same analysis showed the 2017 sex-crime conviction rate for illegal immigrants was about 14% below the rate for native-born Americans and the sex-crime conviction rate for legal immigrants was 60% below that of natives.

Going beyond Texas, a meta-analysis of 51 studies from 1994-2014 on the relationship between immigration and crime in the United States found that immigration reduces crime, although the relationship was very weak.

Contrary to Trumps 2020 campaigns race-baiting hysteria, immigrants do not disproportionately commit crimes; they are more law abiding than the native-born Americans.

So why the racism and hate? Catering to the worst in human nature. And, deflection: as the Wizard said to Dorothy, Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

BIRTHDAY OF THE DAY: Matt Latimer, partner at Javelin – Politico

By POLITICO STAFF

How/where are you celebrating your birthday and with whom? With my wife, Anna, our three children, and unquestionably the best in-laws in the world, David and Robin Sproul. We will be here in town. Nachos will be involved.

How did you get your start in your career? Right out of Columbia Journalism School, I got a job in D.C. working for a Republican senator from my home state of Michigan -- in fact, the only Republican senator from Michigan in my lifetime -- Spence Abraham. One of my coworkers was Ann Coulter, who was just starting out on the pundit circuit. She was, well, herself even back then, but I will say she was one of the only senior staff members who spent any time talking to the rest of us grunts. My goal was eventually to become a presidential speechwriter -- a goal I did eventually achieve thanks to George W. Bush. I wrote a whole book about it in fact, though I was harder on him and others in some respects than I might have been looking back at it now.

Story Continued Below

Whats an interesting book/article youre reading now or youve recently finished? And why? Well, the last book I read cover to cover was Tim Albertas American Carnage, which explains better than any book Ive read where we are as a country today. But since that might seem a little self-serving (as his literary agent), the book Im reading solely for pleasure is The Black Count, the story that inspires my favorite book, The Count of Monte Cristo. Im a big believer in both justice and revenge. Not in that order.

No Safe Spaces Movie Review – Book and Film Globe

I saw the No Safe Spaces movie. In this conservative documentary about the importance of free speech, talk-show host Dennis Prager and lad-mag TV star and podcaster Adam Carolla spend a lot of time walking in slow-motion toward the camera and sucking on cigars. They make a persuasive case that todays college students are fairly intolerant of non-woke opinions. They provide an intermittently amusing and also chilling reminder that the First Amendment rests on somewhat precarious footing and that our civics education has gone to hell. But Im not entirely persuaded that America is in as much danger as No Safe Spaces claims.

NO SAFE SPACES (3/5 stars)Directed by: Justin FolkRunning time:100 min

No Safe Spaces is at its best when it presents actual evidence of its thesis that kids today dont respect the First Amendment. Theres some frightening footage of an anti-Ben Shapiro protest at UC Berkeley and of a Toronto college teaching assistants railroading at the hands of a moronic super-woke academic committee. Most effectively and prominently, it features a long and effective retelling of the Bret Weinstein saga.

For those of you who observe online flame wars as a hobby, youll already know that Weinstein was a liberal lecturer at Evergreen State College in rural Washington. Evergreen has a tradition of a day, based on the ideas of a radical Harlem Renaissance playwright, where black students disappear so white people can specifically feel how much they contribute to society. A couple of years ago, the black students informed the white students that the black people would remain on campus and it was the duty of thewhitestudents to disappear. Weinstein rightly declared this an illiberal tendency. Students protested him and forced other students to denounce him, Gang Of Four-style. And then the college fired him. They deserved to pay ten times the $500,000 settlement that Weinstein eventually received.

Your tolerance of No Safe Spaces may vary upon whether or not you think this is an isolated case, or a harbinger of a left-wing Big Brother future. Prager and Carolla think it might be the end of freedom. Im not so sure. Woke culture is mostly ridiculous, and violent protests against righty gadflys like MiloYiannopoulos and Ann Coulter are completely ridiculous. But its not like people areactuallybeing canceled because of their ideas, expect for maybe Milo, but one could safely argue that he cancelled himself by being a huge jerky weirdo. In the end, Ann Coulter still gets to appear on TV, as does pretty much everyone else. No Safe Spaces also prominently features the voices of Van Jones and Bill Maher, hardly fascist sympathizers, reflecting the movies central thesis that speech should be free. Not everyone agrees, but enough people do.

No Safe Spaces weakens its case with lame cartoons interspersed thoughout, including a bad Schoolhouse Rock parody where Antifa riddles the First Amendment with bullets, and a superhero cartoon called Social Justice Warriors thats about a thousandth as funny as the Robert Smigel and Adam McKay-written X-Presidents cartoons to which its indebted. Meanwhile, the rich get richer.Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson, two of the major victims of this movement according to our documentary hosts, make a lot of money and have careers that many politically-correct pundits would envy. Peterson gets a custom-tour of Carollas personal garage, where they gawk at vintage sportscars. The movie ends with Prager conducting the L.A. Symphony Orchestra and Carolla driving fast around a racetrack. These dudes are not gulag-bound anytime soon.

For the screening, my safe space was a comfortable recliner in a fancy walking-mall multiplex in the southwestern suburbs of Austin, Texas. At the time, this film was, apparently, the number-one doc grosser in the country, despite only playing on 300 screens. There were six people in the audience midday pre-Christmas, four of whom applauded at the opening credits, so I assume they know someone who worked on the picture. In any case, thats about what you expect for a movie whose projected audience is people who legitimately believe that the progressive left is about to set the world aflame. Millions of those people exist, but they tend to watch such material on Twitter, and Twitter is about as unsafe as spaces get. Maybe thats why theyre so worried.

This concludes my review of the No Safe Spaces movie.

The Worst Miami Tweets of the 2010s Decade – Miami New Times

Twitter: You use it to scream into a void at work, make enemies, or get fired, and in return, nothing good happens and using it only makes you sad. It's cigarettes for your brain. Sometimes you find a good joke on the site, sometimes you network online and make new friends, and almost all of the time, those instances are drowned out by the nonstop caterwauling of online Nazis, boomer idiots, and the president of the United States.

Miami is a particularly insane place to be online, because the city attracts narcissists, and 85 to 90 percent of being a Miamian in the 2010s revolved around Posting About Where You Were and Why It Was Important and Exclusive. Florida is a largely crazy place to live, and living inside the brains of Floridians online each and every day is even crazier. So, inspired by this BuzzFeed list of the decade's most brain-melting political tweets, here's a rundown of the best and worst that Miami Twitter offered this past decade.

Bleakest corporate tweet: UPS thanking Miami-area cops for possibly shooting a UPS driver to death.

UPS has been roasted incessantly since the December 6 shooting in which a team of 18 Miami-area cops fired their guns into rush-hour traffic after alleged robbers highjacked a UPS truck and took its driver, Frank Ordonez, hostage. Ordonez, the two robbers, and an innocent bystander died. In a since-deleted tweet, UPS thanked the cops for their service.

Worst Javier Ortiz moment: Miami's police union president saying 12-year-old Tamir Rice deserved to be murdered by cops.

Choosing a single Javier Ortiz Twitter moment is like eating only one Pringles chip from the can, except the chips in this instance are racist statements from a powerful cop and the canister holding them is bottomless. But the worst among the bunch is clear: Before Ortiz was forced from his position heading the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, he tweeted that Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old child holding a toy gun, deserved to be shot dead by Cleveland cops.

"Act like a thug and you'll be treated like one," he wrote online in 2015 after Rice was killed. We refuse to let him forget it.

Best way to get fired online: The time a radio host got canned for offering $1,000 to permanently injure Devonta Freeman.

Former Miami Hurricanes defensive tackle Dan Sileo was fired from his job on WQAM in 2013 after offering $1,000 to anyone who injured then-Florida State Seminole Devonta Freeman.This incident made the list less because of what happenedand more because Sileo had a subsequent meltdown and perfectly encapsulated the misspelled, bizarrely capitalized, and bone-chilling way male boomers get angry online in modern society.Sileo went from offering money to hurt people to claiming he was in hiding and had to hire armed guards because of the backlash. Few sentences are as perfect as "I have hired a PRIVATE COP and He is ARMED..THANK U..GO CANES." Sileo wins bonus points for threading his tweets out of order. Perfect boomer mindset.

Best hoax: Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson possibly making up a story about pigeon husbandry.

Miami native and former NFL star Chad Johnson could get his own list for all the crazy things he has done online, but the strangest was claiming in 2010 that he found a pigeon and watched that pigeon lay eggs. Some intrepid internet sleuths, however, discovered he was just using pigeon photos from the first page of Google Images.

Worst use of police time:Miami Beach cops arresting a dude for a parody Twitter account.

Miami Beach cops arrested Ernesto Orsetti in 2018 after he allegedly made an account that purported to be run by MBPD spokesperson Ernesto Rodriguez. That arrest seemed unnecessary on its face and could have had some serious repercussions for First Amendment rights. But prosecutors dropped the charges after noting Orsetti had written that retweets "are just RTs" in his bio, so don't let anyone tell you that phrase is meaningless.

Weirdest fight: Former Miami Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's Twitter feuds with Karl Lagerfeld and Mariah Carey.

As former New Timescolumnist Kyle Munzenrieder wrote in 2016:

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Republican from Miami, is like the Azealia Banks of Congress. She always seems to find herself feuding with some celebrity or another. Beyonc, Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Lopez have all found themselves on the other end of a critical Twitter lashing from Ros-Lehtinen.

However, the congresswoman has good reasons for her beefs. Ros-Lehtinen usually reserves her ire for stars she believes are propping up dictators throughout the globe while ignoring human rights.

In fact, the member (and former chair) of the powerful House Committee on Foreign Relations has taken it upon herself to become Washington's top voice calling out Hollywood stars who dabble with dictators.

That habit led Ros-Lehtinen to yell at then-Chanel head honcho Karl Lagerfeld for going to Cuba, former NBA great Dennis Rodman for traveling to North Korea, and even Beyonc for her 2016 trip to Havana. Did you know Mariah Carey took a bunch of money from former Angolan dictatorJos Eduardo dos Santos? Ros-Lehtinen sure remembers.

Best political tweet: Marco Rubio promising in writing he would not run for reelection.

Staring at this tweet approximates the feeling of staring directly at the sun. Kudos to the senator for having the guts to leave the post online.

Worst trend:#FloridaMan

Look, New Times(and even this reporter) is also guilty of leaning into the Florida Man aesthetic for cheap laughs in the social media era. But there's nothing funny about Florida Man stories they make for quick, viral hits on Twitter, but they ruin the lives of people who overwhelmingly have drug problems or mental-health issues. Think twice before you retweet those posts, folks. If you can't understand why, download this Chrome plug-in from the podcast Citations Needed that replaces the term "Florida Man" with the phrase "Man likely suffering from mental illness or drug addiction."

Best Twitter moment of the decade: The day all of conservative media screamed at a Miami Cheesecake Factory.

This incident didn't get much media play when it happened. But it might be the single funniest thing to ever happen in Miami politics, and it deserves to be immortalized as a shining example of how politics and social media broke everyone's brains in the post-Trump era. In May 2018, Eugenior Joseph claimed he was threatened by staff at the Dadeland Mall Cheesecake Factory for wearing a Make America Great Again hat. Joseph claimed staff gathered around his table and "smacked their knuckles" around him. So he called the cops. And the cops determined nothing happened.This did not stop Fox News from putting Joseph on the air to discuss the so-called incident while he proudly wore his MAGA hat. Pundits such as Ben Shapiro and white-supremacist bog-witch Ann Coulter came to Joseph's defense online and acted as if he had somehow been the victim of a hate crime for an incident that might not have even happened. Amateur conservative YouTubers briefly began appearing at Cheesecake Factory locations and screaming about Donald Trump. (Really.) And the Cheesecake Factory apologized online. Two days later, the company said it had fired two employees. But it also seemed to suggest Joseph was lying about portions of what had happened.

The incident reveals Americans have two paths in life: You can become a Eugenior Joseph and perform on camera for the TV propaganda machine, or you can sit behind a desk while waiting for 5 o'clock and trying to drink away the pain of writing branded tweets for a cheesecake chain. Here's to 2020.

Jerry Iannelli is a staff writer for Miami New Times. He graduated with honors from Temple University. He then earned a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University. He moved to South Florida in 2015.
