Hihi, 'racial income disparities' nog zo'n bijzonder dogma binnen progressieve en Democratische kringen. Het valt mij trouwens nog mee dat er in die statistiek de Aziatische Amerikanen zijn meegenomen, meestal worden die er bewust buiten gelaten, omdat dat immers niet past binnen het gewenste narratief.

Het hele idee ook dat je mensen kunt indelen op groepen op basis hun huidskleur met de verwachting dat die kunstmatig gecreëerde groepen in alle aspecten van de samenleving min of meer hetzelfde gaan presteren. Zulke eigenaardige utopieën zul je ook maar in een zijde van het politieke spectrum terugvinden.

‘I’m a Black Woman in America’: Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Blames Election Loss on Racism, Sexism'

Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot attributed her election loss to racism and sexism in comments to reporters Tuesday night, glossing over the impact of violent crime, which surged in the windy city during her tenure.

Lightfoot failed to make the April runoff, losing to Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson, who outflanked her from the right and left respectively. Crime had become the leading issue in the election, leading Lightfoot to pivot towards supporting the police.

“I’m a black woman in America. Of course,” she replied when asked by a reporter if she had been treated unfairly, according to the New York Post. Lightfoot neglected to mention that Johnson is also black.

Nevertheless, she called her time as Chicago’s mayor “the honor of a lifetime.”

“Regardless of tonight’s outcome, we fought the right fights and we put this city on a better path,” Lightfoot said.

The comments made Tuesday night were in line with her previously stated view that it is difficult for someone like her to succeed in an electoral setting.

In an interview with the New Yorker prior to the election, Lightfoot explained: “I am a black woman — let’s not forget. Certain folks, frankly, don’t support us in leadership roles.”

“The same forces that didn’t want Harold Washington to succeed, they’re still here,” she told one black audience, referring to the city’s first black mayor.

Lightfoot is the first black woman and the first openly gay person to lead the nation’s third-largest city.

She has been heavily criticized for the rampant crime in Chicago and the demonization of the police. While Lightfoot initially supported cutting the city’s police budget, she has since pivoted.

Violent crime in the city increased by 40 percent since she was elected in 2019 on a promise to bring down crime rates, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

With 94 percent of votes counted, Vallas, who was the tough-on-crime choice of the Fraternal Order of the Police, is leading with a plurality of 34 percent. Brandon Johnson, who wants to defund the police, is second with 20 percent of the vote.

Fifty percent of the vote was needed to avoid a runoff, which will take place on April 4, 2023.

Dit is een meisje in de puberteit, misschien heeft ze op school aangegeven dit te willen en misschien aangegeven niks tegen haar moeder te zeggen. In de puberteit ontwikkel je wel je seksualiteit, dus als zij (nu hij) zich echt zo voelt is er toch niet heel veel mis mee in mijn ogen?

Ik heb vooral moeite met het op jonge leeftijd van kinderen ermee in aanraking brengen, ik zie soms foto's waar hele jonge kinderen bij een parade staan en dingen zien waar kinderen niet mee bezig horen te zijn (snap die ouders ook niet ze daar mee heen te brengen btw).

Maar een kind in de puberteit die voelt dat hij of zei anders is dan hoe geboren? Daar vind ik dan wel van dat je daar open voor moet staan, dat is juist het moment in de ontwikkeling en hoe de hormonen per individu werken (denk ik persoonlijk)

Het aanmoedigen ben ik echt op tegen, maar ervoor openstaan en kinderen vanaf hun puberteit zichzelf laten ontdekken ben ik dan wel voorstander van (op redelijke wijze) Amputatie van borsten tijdens pubertijd is natuurlijk een "no go" pubers bedenken zich keer op keer.

Around 5:30 p.m. on March 5, 2023, a large mob of masked Antifa militants launched an attack on police and property at the construction site of the Public Safety Training Center in Atlanta. They assaulted officers with explosives, firebombs, and rocks before setting construction equipment on fire. For months, far-left extremists from across the U.S. had been occupying the land southeast of Atlanta in an autonomous zone meant to sabotage construction efforts for the future first responder training center. Their violence escalated into a carjacking, assaults and eventually a deadly shooting in January. As revenge for the death of their gunman, who shot a Georgia state patrol trooper, they launched a terrorist attack in downtown Atlanta shortly after. 19 militants were charged with domestic terrorism in December and January. The latest attack on March 5 is part of a "Week of Action" announced by members of the movement.

Jan. 6 footage shows Capitol cops escorting QAnon Shaman to Senate floor

Newly revealed surveillance footage from Jan. 6, 2021, shows two Capitol police officers escorting Jacob Chansley, the be-horned so-called “QAnon Shaman” who has come to symbolize the riot, through the halls of the Capitol and to the very door of the US Senate.

The footage aired on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show Monday night shows the officers closely following Chansley as he wanders the corridors of the Capitol, bare-chested and wearing face paint and a luxuriant fur hat with Viking horns.

“Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” says Carlson, who was granted exclusive access by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to 40,000 hours of surveillance footage from that day inside and around the Capitol, which has never been seen before by the public.

“The tapes show the Capitol police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides.”

At one point, the officers are seen walking Chansley past seven other police officers milling around outside the Senate chamber, who barely give him a second look.

Then they escort him to various entrances of the chamber which appear to be locked. Eventually they help him open a door, and he enters the chamber.

Chansley, a 33-year-old naval veteran from Arizona, has been jailed for almost four years for “obstructing an official proceeding.”

In a jailhouse interview played by Carlson he says: “The one very serious regret that I have [is] believing that when we were waved in by police officers that it was acceptable.”

In a statement the Capitol police suggest that one of the officers with Chansley was trying to “de-escalate” the situation because he was outnumbered.

But that does not explain why Chansley, who was unarmed, was able to walk past seven more officers without being apprehended.

“Not one of them even tried to slow him down,” says Carlson.

He “understood that the Capitol police were his allies. . . . If he was in the act of committing such a grave crime, why didn’t the officers standing right next to him place him under arrest?”

And yet in the narrative formed that day by the Democrats and much of the media, “Jacob Chansley became the face of January 6, a dangerous conspiracy theorist dressed in an outlandish costume who led the violent insurrection to overthrow America’s democracy,” says Carlson.

McCarthy has been criticized for releasing the footage to Carlson who plans to air five stories based on the footage over two nights which he says “demolishes” the Democratic narrative of January 6.

As well as Chansley’s story, Carlson will air footage which he says debunks the claim that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by rioters.

Other accusations against Republicans which were promoted by the heavily partisan January 6 committee are shown in a strikingly different light by footage to be aired by Carlson, including viral video of Senator Josh Hawley running away from rioters on the day which appears to have been taken out of context.

Claims that Congressman Brian Loudermilk of Georgia guided “insurrectionists” around the Capitol to help them disrupt Senate proceedings contrast with footage of him showing constituents around the next-door Rayburn building the previous evening.

“Taken as a whole, the video record does not support the claim that January 6 was an insurrection,” says Carlson.

In fact, it demolishes that claim, and that’s exactly why the Democratic Party and its allies in the media stopped you from seeing it.

“By controlling the images you were allowed to view from January 6, they controlled how the public understood that day. They could lie about what happened and you would never know the difference. Those lies had a purpose. They created a pretext for a federal crackdown on opponents of the uniparty in Washington.”

Democratic lawmakers such as Rep. Jamie Raskin have warned that Carlson poses a “serious security risk” and have accused the Fox News host of being a “pro-Putin, pro-Orban, pro-autocrat propagandist.”

“There’s thousands of hours of footage that are out there already,” Raskin told MSNBC. “But the reason all of it wasn’t released is precisely because it lays out floor design, it lays out evacuation routes, it lays out where the vice president went, it lays out where the senior members of Congress were evacuated, and so on.”

Carlson’s team say their footage has been vetted by congressional authorities to ensure it does not pose a security risk.

They further point out that the January 6 committee aired footage of the evacuation routes of VP Mike Pence and Hawley.

Having failed to stop the release of the footage last week, Rep. Adam Schiff criticized Carlson in a tweet as “a weak, weak man.”

Toch wel raar dat "conspiracy" theoristen of BNW'ers zoals wij toch altijd gelijk krijgen. Al die lui hier en topics over "TEH insurrection" terwijl het allemaal een fake bestorming was. Dat ze het een coup durfde te noemen.

Diegene die het nieuws geloven zitten echt in een film. Je zal maar alles geloven wat in het nieuws gezegd wordt, dan ben je echt wel wereldvreemd.
