Hundreds protest white nationalist Richard Spencer at Texas A&M
Hundreds of people protested a speech Tuesday night at the University of Texas A&M by Richard Spencer — a white nationalist who spoke without an invitation from the school.
The protesters outnumbered the supporters who came to listen to Spencer, who helped coin the term “alt-right” and was caught on camera last month shouting “Hail Trump!” at a white nationalist meeting in Washington, D.C.
In his speech and during an earlier press conference, Spencer mocked school president Michael K. Young, the demonstrators and some of the civil rights causes they championed.
“The fact that the president of Texas A&M University has created the world’s largest safe space, I think we might need to call Guinness,” Spencer said in a presser before his talk.
“It shows the power of the ideas. He’s actually making us much more powerful. He is demonstrating the truth that our ideas are important ... I’m going to be a hell of a lot more entertaining than the C-list celebrities he’s assembled.”
Asked during the press conference about feminism, Spencer said it “has seduced many women into thinking that ‘Oh, men are wrong, I need to be myself, I need to have a career, I need to do this.’”
“They wake up,” he added, “they’re 45, they’re living with cats and they’re extremely unhappy.”

Young issued a statement before Spencer’s appearance saying the white nationalist’s views are “in direct conflict with our core values.”
Spencer spoke after an invitation from Preston Wiginton, a former A&M student who rented out a space for the tense talk, according to The Battalion student newspaper.
During his speech, Spencer told the crowd, “At the end of the day, America belong to white men.” He also dismissed the idea that America is a nation of rights as “silliness.”
Someone at one point snatched a microphone from a woman who repeatedly asked Spencer if he is a racist.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has identified Spencer as a racist who “takes a quasi-intellectual approach to white separatism.”
The protests stretched on for hours and saw some demonstrators facing off with riot police — leading to the arrests of two non-students, authorities said.

Muslim NPR reporter says she was harassed on the campaign trail
December 9, 2016
(CNN)Describing what it was like to cover the presidential campaign as a Muslim woman wearing a headscarf, NPR reporter Asma Khalid said Friday that it was an experience that left her in tears at times.
Khalid wrote an essay about the abuse she encountered on the campaign trail, in which she described being called racist names at rallies, as well as receiving tweets calling her a "raghead, terrorist bitch and jihadi." At one point, she told CNN's Carol Costello, she told her editor that she wished she had not signed up for the job.
"I just remember crying," Khalid said.
"I think that I saw things in this election cycle about who we are as Americans that really saddened me. Things that were said to me I had never heard before," she added.
One incident, while tagging along with some canvassers in Ohio, proved particularly rattling.
"A woman opened the door, she was engaging with the canvasser answering her questions but at some point her mother saw me, she opened the front door, came out on to the porch and started yelling and said, 'You need to get off my property.' She looked squarely at me and said, 'She needs to get off my property'," she recalled.
Khalid, who grew up in a small town in Indiana, said she had never encountered a reaction like it.
"In that moment, first impressions, I had never had somebody sort of viscerally hate the idea of me," she told Costello.
Khalid speculated that the fact that she wears a hijab had been a major factor when it came to encountering suspicion and hatred while on the campaign trail, an experience that had surprised her.
"A lot of times what people see, maybe on first impressions, is the scarf," she said.
"The other side that people don't see is that I'm a Hoosier," she added.
Yet despite some challenging experiences, Khalid emphasized that not all of her encounters were negative, and that she had befriended people along the way, many of who were curious, rather than negative, about meeting a Muslim woman.
"Some folks may not have cared for Muslims in the abstract but they got to know me and my family," she explained.

Convenience store’s signs spark outrage:
‘Obama & other Muslims not welcome here’
No criminal investigation has been opened against the store, which has displayed similar signs for years. KOB

ghadley@mcclatchy.com
According to online reviews, the Mayhill Convenience Store has poorly cleaned bathrooms, a cockroach problem and signs that say things like “Obama The Anti-Christ.”
That last detail has ignited a firestorm of controversy online after a local TV station reported on the store this past Friday. According to KOB, the store has been posting such signs for years.
Among the most contentious signs are ones that feature an “Obama swing set” with a picture of a noose, another that calls for the “half-breed” to be sent “to Kenya” and another that simply states “KILL OBAMA” with “care” written in much smaller letters on another line, according to reviews and social media posts.
KOB interviewed a former employee of the store who said the owner routinely rejects customers who disagree with him and sells the signs to those who like them.
“They're offensive to me from time to time, but you know that's my opinion,” Marlon McWilliams, the former employee, said. “That's the way I feel.”
KOB also reports that the store is for sale for $359,000. An expired listing on BusinessBroker.com had the asking price at $300,000.
But while KOB’s report has drawn worldwide attention to the tiny community of Mayhill, with outlets such as the Independent, Mic.com and AOL News all picking the story up, social media postings show that many visitors to the store have been shocked by the signs in the past.
Warning: Explicit Language
This pic and comments can be found at this site:
Address: US-82, Mayhill, NM 88339
However, the store’s owner has continued to produce signs, and McWilliams said it is one of the few places in the rural community where groceries are readily available.
Now, however, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has weighed in on the issue, specifically asking the store’s owner to remove the sign featured in the KOB story seemingly barring Muslims from entering.
“While everyone has the First Amendment right to free speech – even offensive speech – we urge the store’s owner to remove the sign in the interest of common decency and of our nation’s unity at a time of increasing divisions,” CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said in a statement.
Online, the store has been hit with a barrage of negative reviews on Facebook and Google, with many calling the owner’s policies a violation of non-discrimination laws. KOB said the store’s owner did not return requests for comment.

Veronica Wakeford Ignorant uneducated assholes. The vandales probably don't fully comprehend the horror of the holocaust and what the swastika represents. I've spoken to auschwitz survivors in my time and heard their stories, these sort of messages make me feel physically sick. What is wrong with people, have they no conscience at all???

Not only are they incapable of any academic proficiency, they are incapable of thinking critically and they have no clue why progressives and Democrats think they are ignorant.

Michael Spillers Most of Trump's supporters are almost as dumb as they are bigoted. You can tell how they misspell words and how they incorrectly pronounce them! Also pay attention to the type of words used in their very limited vocabularies! If you don't believe it just compare Trump's speeches to those of President Obama's speeches. I rest my case!

The GOP inherits what Trump has wrought
"Respectfully, I’d submit that the president has unearthed some demons,” Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) said. “I’ve talked to a number of people about it back home. They say, ‘Well, look, if the president can say whatever, why can’t I say whatever?’ He’s given them license.”

We are Q’
A deranged conspiracy cult leaps from the Internet to the crowd at Trump’s ‘MAGA’ tour
During President Trump’s rally on July 31, several attendees held or wore signs with the letter “Q.” Here’s what the QAnon conspiracy theory is about. (Amber Ferguson/The Washington Post)
Washington Post
By Isaac Stanley-Becker
August 1, 2018
On Tuesday evening, the dark recesses of the Internet lit up with talk of politics.
“Tampa rally, live coverage,” wrote “Dan,” posting a link to President Trump’s Tampa speech in a thread on 8chan, an anonymous image board also known as Infinitechan or Infinitychan, which might be best described as the unglued twin of better-known 4chan, a message board already untethered from reality.
The thread invited “requests to Q,” an anonymous user claiming to be a government agent with top security clearance, waging war against the so-called deep state in service to the 45th president. “Q” feeds disciples, or “bakers,” scraps of intelligence, or “bread crumbs,” that they scramble to bake into an understanding of the “storm” — the community’s term, drawn from Trump’s cryptic reference last year to “the calm before the storm” — for the president’s final conquest over elites, globalists and deep-state saboteurs.
What Tuesday’s rally in Tampa made apparent is that devotees of these falsehoods — some of which are specific to faith in the president, others garden-variety nonsense with racist and anti-Semitic undertones — don’t just exist in the far reaches of the Web.
Believers in “QAnon,” as the conspiracy theory is known, were front and center at the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall, where Trump came to stump for Republican candidates. As the president spoke, a sign rose from the audience. “We are Q,” it read. Another poster displayed text arranged in a “Q” pattern: “Where we go one we go all.”
The symbol appeared on clothing, too. A man and a woman wore matching white T-shirts with the YouTube logo encircled in a blue “Q.” The video-sharing website came under criticism this week for unwittingly becoming a platform for baseless claims, first promoted on Twitter and Reddit by QAnon believers, that certain Hollywood celebrities are pedophiles. A search for one of those celebrity’s names on Monday returned videos purporting to show his victims sharing their stories.
#Pizzagate conspiracy theory that led a gunman to open fire in a D.C. restaurant last year, has leaped from Internet message boards to the president’s “Make America Great Again” tour through America.
“Pray Trump mentions Q!” one user wrote on 8chan. He didn’t need to. As hazy corners of the Internet buzzed about the president’s speech, his appearance became a real-life show of force for the community that has mostly operated behind the veil of anonymity on subreddits.
Trump himself has at times been a purveyor of conspiracy theories, most notably in refusing for years to back down from his false claim that Barack Obama was not born in the United States. He also asserted without evidence that Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower, peddled the debunked idea that millions of illegal votes cost him the popular vote and associated the father of Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas with the assassin who shot John F. Kennedy.
But viewing their message boards, it’s clear that QAnon crosses a new frontier. In the black hole of conspiracy in which “Q” has plunged its followers, Trump only feigned collusion to create a pretense for the hiring of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is actually working as a “white hat,” or hero, to expose the Democrats. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and George Soros are planning a coup — and traffic children in their spare time. J.P. Morgan, the American financier, sunk the Titanic.
In the world in which QAnon believers live, Trump’s detractors, such as Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, wear ankle monitors that track their whereabouts. Press reports are dismissed as “Operation Mockingbird,” the name given to the alleged midcentury infiltration of the American media by the CIA. The Illuminati looms large in QAnon, as do the Rothschilds, a wealthy Jewish family vilified by the conspiracy theorists as the leaders of a satanic cult. Among the world leaders wise to satanic influences, the theory holds, is Russian President Vladimir Putin.
QAnon flirts with eschatology, fascist philosophy and the filmmaking of Francis Ford Coppola. Adherents believe a “Great Awakening” will precede the final storm foretold by Trump. Once they make sense of the information drip fed to them by “Q,” they will usher in a Christian revival presaging total victory.
The implication is that resolving the clues left by “Q” would not just explain Trump’s planned countercoup. It would also explain the whole universe.
When “Q” is absent for long stretches of time, followers take note.
“Please tell me where to go,” one wrote last month. “I feel lost without Q.”
Some big names have bought into the fantasy. Roseanne Barr, the disgraced star of the canceled ABC revival that bore her name, has posted messages on Twitter that appear to endorse the QAnon worldview, fixating on child sex abuse. She has sought to make contact with “Q” on social media and has retweeted messages summarizing the philosophy built around the online persona. Among QAnon’s promoters are also Curt Schilling, the former Boston Red Sox pitcher, and Cheryl Sullenger, the antiabortion activist.
The Newport Beach Police Department said recently it was looking into the presence of a man outside Michael Avenatti’s law office after a link to the lawyer’s website and images of his office building appeared in QAnon threads. This spring, armed members of Veterans on Patrol stumbled on a homeless camp and demanded that authorities investigate it as a site of child sex-trafficking, NBC reported. They later thanked QAnon followers for taking up their cause.

I am disturbed in general with the whole Cult of Gaslight Donald

I am disturbed in general with the whole Cult of Gaslight Donald, but when I saw these pictures of his followers at the Florida rally, I had do some deep thinking. I have studied Psychology extensively and nothing in those books could have prepared me for the last two years.
I have lost friends I have known for 17 years, family members that I don't recognize anymore, people filled with apathy, conspiracy theories and rage. Take a good look at these pictures. The rage in the first woman's face looks practically demonic. You could almost label this picture WRATH. They are screaming at a journalist from CNN, egged on by their chosen one.
They screech at a man who represents the mainstream media. Journalists that have college degrees. Pulitzer Prize winning journalists who fact check for a living. Sure they may be biased at times, but they all follow the rules of reporting. They get their information from well established Intelligence Communities, Law Enforcement Agencies & first hand witnesses in the field. Checked, and fact checked triple times. They are held to the highest of standards.
These cult followers chose to ignore these life-long journalists and put all of their beliefs into a man who has shown by a lifetime pattern of behavior that he is a liar, sociopath, narcissist, sexual predator, thief, bully and racist. A man that to date has told 4,229 false and misleading claims (LIES) in 558 days which averages 7.6 lies per day. They chose to ignore these facts and plug into the Faux News Network which basically amounts to "State T.V." aiding and abeding their leader's misinformation campaign. Adding insult to injury, they go even farther and plug themselves into the Conspiracy Network: QAnon, Rush Limbaugh and the heinous Alex Jones who continues to torture the grieving parents of the murdered children of the Sandy Hook Massacre, claiming that it was all a hoax and publishing the addresses of these grieving parents for these nut jobs to harass. Some of the family members were forced to move 7 times.
These women are filled with rage because they have allowed people to mislead them. They undoubtedly were filled with racial hatred to begin with and when Gaslight Donald came along, it was as if he poured gasoline onto their fires. He preyed upon their racism and economic and psychological vulnerability to grow a base that would keep him in power at all costs so that he could personally enrich himself and his family. They are so engulfed in their anger and hatred that they can't even see that they are being conned. Conned by a man who's only agenda is to make sure he and the 1% attain the most wealth that they can possibly attain and I would venture to propose that he is also trying to destroy democracy as his behavior is becoming more and more fascist and autocrat endorsing.
I am torn, because I believe in our freedom of speech but the prevalence of these Conspiracy Networks is causing harm to real people. It has brainwashed 30% of our electorate. It has emboldened foreign adversaries to interfere in our elections to add more gas on the fire. What are we to do? I think major changes are going to be made going forward when this nightmare is over. I would love to hear your own thoughts.

I think major changes are going to be made going forward when this nightmare is over. I would love to hear your own thoughts.
Proving once again that GOP voters are too wantonly ignorant to deserve being a part of a constitutionally based representative democracy.
Trump's 'America First' crowd are finally being honest. They don't give a shit about our country anymore.

A Republican official in Pennsylvania was forced to resign her post on Friday after it was revealed that she’d written Facebook posts in which she referred to NFL players protesting police brutality during the national anthem as “baboons,” according to The Beaver County Times.
Carla Maloney, the Republican Committee of Beaver County’s secretary, wrote the comments on her personal Facebook page under the name Carla Belich Fueller.
The posts have since been removed and Maloney’s Facebook page seems to have been deleted, but here is a summary of what she said, per The Beaver County Times:
Further in the thread, Maloney turned her anger toward the Steelers and her racist language grew even harsher.
RCBC Chairman Chip Kohser said Maloney wrote the post prior to being named secretary earlier this year. He believes she posted the racist remarks after many players from the Pittsburgh Steelers remained in the locker room for the national anthem before their Sept. 24 game in Chicago last year.
In her resignation letter (pdf) to Kohser, Maloney said her words were “inappropriate, distasteful and insensitive” and that “those who know me know that I come from a diverse family that represents modern America.”
OK, ma’am. Whatever you say.

“Tired of these over paid ignorant blacks telling me what I should believe in. I will tell you what I believe in and that is our Flag the National Anthem and America period end of story,” she wrote. “You don’t like it here go to Africa see how you like it there. We are all Americans not African American not Hispanic American. WE ARE ALL AMERICAN.”
Maloney then complained about “reverse racism” in America and said she was “sick of the name calling, rioting, shooting, and looting.” She predicted a civil war “soon than later.”

Further in the thread, Maloney turned her anger toward the Steelers and her racist language grew even harsher.
“Steelers are now just as bad as the rest of the over paid baboons. You respect your flag, country and our national anthem. How many men and women have lost limbs or died to protect this country and you baboons want respect,” she wrote. “If you want respect you need to earn it and so far you haven’t. Stop watching, or going to a game and paying for over priced food, water and tickets. Let’s see how the baboons get paid when white people stop paying their salaries.”

Florida man suspected of mailing pipe bombs charged with 5 federal crimes
https://theweek.com/5things/803988/florida-man-suspected-mailing-pipe-bombs-charged-5-federal-crimes
A man in south Florida, Cesar Sayoc, was arrested Friday in connection with the wave of suspicious packages sent to prominent lawmakers and Democratic donors this week. The 56-year-old was charged with five federal crimes, including making threats against public figures, after law enforcement discovered a fingerprint on one of the packages. Authorities on Friday confirmed that packages addressed to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and billionaire Democratic donor Tom Steyer were under investigation. More than a dozen other packages suspected of containing explosives were mailed to Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama, among others. Officials believe there could be more packages out there.
