Stop causing the discord that you are whining about

The level of verbal discourse in this country has reached a new low with the issue of illegal immigrants entering the country's consciousness because some have been separated from their children. This issue is worthy of a discussion to have as a country. That being said, the level of debate has reached a demeaning and harmful low as some are invoking language and taking actions that are not only improper, but downright uncivil and un-American.

This column does not debate the issues, but rather confronts the behavior of certain individuals. We can all agree that families showing up at our border looking to enter America is a problem that needs to be dealt with by our leadership. This problem has existed for a long while being confronted by the last administration, but has accelerated in recent months. You may think that it is being handled poorly by the current administration, but stooping to some of the name calling and imagery is beneath us as a society.

When you invoke the term "Nazis," you automatically lose unless the people involved adhere to and believe in Nazism -- and that is rare today. Your political opponents are not Nazis and our current government officials are not comparable to Nazis in the treatment of immigrants.

If you have not been to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., I suggest you go. I was honored to serve four years on the Museum's oversight council. Alternatively, you can stay in your home and watch Schindler's List. After doing either of these, you would feel ashamed for comparing our leadership and government officials to the inhumane behavior that took place during the Holocaust.


Comment: Don't hold your breath. One needs to understand that 'shame' is the last thing those on the left are going to feel about their despicable behaviour to those who hold a different viewpoint.We're way past the "you're a Nazi" slur.

Twenty-six-year-old Angela Ponce has surpassed 22 other contestants, becoming the first transgender person to win Miss Universe Spain. She will represent her country in the Miss Universe beauty pageant later this year. According to media reports, she will become the first woman, born male, to compete six years after the transgender ban was lifted.

The newly crowned Miss Universe Spain, Angela Ponce, stirred social media, becoming the first transgender person to get the title in her country.

Ponce, who is originally from Seville, had already taken part in the country's Miss World Spain beauty pageant in 2015, but failed to secure the winner's crown.

After being crowned Miss Universe Spain, she thanked those who supported her and voiced her commitment to promoting equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community.

Comment: Your gender doesn't change just because you've had reassignment surgery and take massive amounts of hormones. But in the end, no sane person cares about these 'beauty' pageants anyway, they already were a sign of the end times. And this is just another example of the peak distortion of reality we are living in that the height of female beauty is now a male in a dress: Also check out SOTT radio's: The Truth Perspective: Explaining Postmodernism - Interview with Stephen Hicks

Moscow mulled ending its cooperation with the Court earlier this year due to the fact that many of its decisions were said to run counter to Russia's interests.

In a press release put out by the Court Tuesday, the ECHR reported that it has urged Russia to settle an undisclosed amount of Soviet premium bond debt from 1982 being held by private individuals in Russia which it said Moscow had undertook to pay off but failed to redeem.

"In today's Chamber judgement in the case of Volokitin and Others v. Russia...the European Court of Human Rights held, unanimously, that there had been: a violation of Article 1 of Protocol No.1 (protection of property) to the European Convention on Human Rights in respect of several of the applicants," the statement read.

Comment: Russia seems to have settled its debts quite amicably and has been dealing quite fairly for many years, so one would think if these individuals were due compensation they would have received it.

Georgia deputies got a lucky break when they stumbled upon a massive, $1.2 million marijuana grow house, while making a house call on an unrelated matter in Cherokee County.

The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office paid a visit to the home of Carlos Suarez-Diaz Canton on Friday, looking for a suspect to serve a felony arrest warrant. They found a lot more than they'd bargained for when they entered the basement: A forest of plump marijuana plants.
"When deputies attempted to make contact with the wanted subject, not Suarez-Diaz, they located an unsecured door in the basement area of the home." Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds said in a statement. "When the deputy opened that door they observed what appeared to be a large marijuana grow house."
The grow house contained a whopping 247 plants and over 100 pounds of weed. According to authorities, the drugs had a street value of $1,287,000.

"This is not a mom and pop operation. This is a very sophisticated operation," Cmdr. Phil Price of Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad told WSBTV.

Comment: The tide is turning on the criminalization of hemp and marijuana. See also:

The Overton County Sheriff's department has launched an investigation after a 2-year-old toddler was allegedly run over by a deputy in front of the family's home on Friday. In a dramatic Facebook post, the boy's mother posted images and called out police.

The family of Kayden Blodgett, the 2-year-old victim took to Facebook Friday night after the incident to explain what happened, noting that a "county cop in Livingston" ran him over.

"So I just ran outside, and before I could even ask what happened, I saw his face covered in blood," his mother, Cassie Blodgett, recalled.

Joshua Blodgett, Kayden's father told News Channel 5 that his son was run over just after he'd spoken to the deputy. According to the family and the sheriff's office, the deputy was at the home to serve a civil warrant Friday night.

"And then he got back into his car while I was talking to the other deputy, and I guess he took off and didn't look around, look at his surroundings or anything. I guess he hit my son, and he went about ten feet that way, and then stopped and my son ran to me," Blodgett said.

A healthcare worker at the Countess of Chester hospital in Cheshire was arrested Tuesday, on the suspicion of murdering eight babies and attempting to kill six others.

Cheshire police stated that the woman was in custody following an investigation into the deaths of 17 babies, and 15 "non-fatal collapses" between March 2015 and July 2016, the hospital's neonatal unit.

Leading the investigation, DI Paul Hughes said: "Whilst this is a significant step forward in our enquiries it is important to remember that the investigation is very much active and ongoing at this stage.

"There are no set timescales for this coming to a conclusion but we remain committed to carrying out a thorough investigation as soon as possible."

Gathered near the capitol building in Annapolis under a darkening sky Friday, residents shocked by the deadly shooting at their hometown newspaper just a day earlier expressed grief, anger, and pride - pride that officers responded so quickly and that the Capital Gazette staff put out a paper despite the tragedy.

"Awesome," Hal Whitacre, a city resident of 30 years, said of the newspaper's resolve, his voice trembling with emotion. "That's the only word for it."

On Thursday, a man opened fire in the Capital Gazette offices, killing five staffers and injuring two others. The suspect, 38-year-old Jarrod W. Ramos, was charged with five counts of first-degree murder. The dead included Wendi Winters, an award-winning reporter who covered community news; Robert Hiaasen, an editor known for his humor; Gerald Fischman, an editorial writer; Rebecca Smith, a new sales assistant; and John McNamara, who worked for the Capital Gazette in various roles for more than 20 years.

Familiar refrain: Annapolis police investigated Capital Gazette shooting suspect years ago, but concluded he wasn't a threat

When staff at a Maryland newspaper contacted police five years ago about a series of online threats they had received from a man who was suing them for defamation, they hoped some sort of recourse would be available to them.

Tom Marquardt, a former editor and publisher of the Capital Gazette, told BuzzFeed News that in 2013 Jarrod Ramos's musings on social media had shifted from general complaints about the paper to comments about wishing its employees were dead.

"That's when it crossed the threshold of being a nuisance to being a threat," Marquardt said by phone Friday.

But officials concluded that Ramos, who sued the newspaper for defamation in 2012 after it published a column about his guilty plea to criminal harassment, did not pose a threat to staff, and so the newspaper didn't pursue charges, according to an Anne Arundel County Police Department police report.

On Thursday, Ramos allegedly opened fire inside the Capital Gazette's newsroom in Annapolis, killing five employees and injuring two others.

Officials said the 38-year-old Maryland man intended to kill as many people as possible and had barricaded a back entrance to the building so people couldn't escape.

Enthusiasm for Democratic Party waning: Poll shows massive shift as millennial voters lean toward conservatism

Although establishment Democrats made several fatal miscalculations during the 2016 election cycle, one error that hurt them tremendously was their assumption that millennial voters would overwhelmingly vote liberal.

Now, a recent Reuters poll has further proven this, after polling 16,000 registered voters, and determining that millennial voters are beginning to lean towards conservatism, with a 23% change in support for Republicans among millennial males.

The poll indicated that support for Democrats among millennial voters has dropped around 9% since the 2016 election, with many stating their belief that the Republican Party is better for the American economy.

For Democrats, the inability to hold the attention of millennial voters adds to the growing number of problems headed into midterm elections, further highlighting the party's "identity crisis" as a new generation of far-left liberals battle establishment elites for control of the Democratic Party.

Comment: Considering the increasingly unhinged behavior of high-profile Democrats and the obvious corruption within its ranks, it's hardly surprising that people are fed up:

A crewmember on a Norwegian Cruise Line has been found 22 hours after going overboard while sailing near Cuba. The man was found by another vessel in a discovery that's being described as "nothing short of miraculous."

While 28 miles northwest of Pinar del Rio, Norwegian Getaway notified the US Coast Guard at about 3:20pm on Saturday that a 33-year-old male crew member had been seen going overboard. It's not clear if that was the time the crew member went overboard, or just the time the coast guard was notified. There has been some speculation online that the member went overboard in the early hours of that morning.

Just 10 minutes later a HC-144 Ocean Sentry plane out of Miami was reportedly searching the 1,500 square mile area, but that yielded no result. The Getaway also reportedly conducted a search for the man.

The next day, at around 1pm, a hotel steward aboard the Carnival Cruise Line ship, 'Glory,' noticed the crew member in the water alive, and in a stable condition, some 21 miles north of Cuba.

"We are so happy to know that the individual is safe and will soon be reunited with friends and family. We are also extremely grateful to Carnival Cruise Line and send our deepest thanks to the crew of Carnival Glory," said a spokesperson for Norwegian Cruise Line in a statement

The Norwegian Getaway is staffed with more than 1,500 crew members and can accommodate nearly 4,000 guests. There have already been 13 reported incidents of people going overboard on various cruise lines since the beginning of the year.
