>He did not talk of defeat.

>He talked still of victory, of changing the status quo.

>But as Bernie Sanders put a brave face on a sad night and promised that his battle to make it to the White House would continue, he was aware that he now faces a huge struggle to fulfill his dreams, and those of his supporters.

>After securing a stunning, surprise victory a week earlier in Michigan, there had been excitement and anticipation among his team that he could perform a similar insurgent win in such states as Ohio and Illinois.

>But on an evening when the bight blue graphics on television screens showed several of the battles between him and Hillary Clinton to be be agonisingly close, he came away without a single victory. The closest, and perhaps most painful, was the last race to be called, when the former secretary of state secured the contest in Missouri by less than half a percentage point.

>While delegates in all of the Democratic contests are awarded on a proportional basis, Ms Clinton now has a haul of 1,599, of which 467 are so-called super delegates, party officials that are not obliged to vote for a particular candidate. Mr Sanders has 844, of which just 26 are super delegates.

>To reach the threshold of 2,383 delegates required to claim the nomination, Ms Clinton now needs to win just a third of those remaining. Mr Sanders would have to win at a level he has not managed since his heady days in New Hampshire in February.

During the address, Clinton vowed to take the U.S.-Israel relationship to "the next level"—a level which seemingly includes more war and imperialism, few, if any, rights for Palestinians, and definitely no economic boycotts of Israel.

"As president, I will make a firm commitment to ensure Israel maintains its qualitative military edge," she said. "The United States should provide Israel with the most sophisticated defense technology so it can deter and stop any threats. That includes bolstering Israeli missile defenses with new systems like the Arrow Three and David’s Sling. And we should work together to develop better tunnel detection, technology to prevent armed smuggling, kidnapping and terrorist attacks."

As observers noted, as she ran down the list of "evolving threats," the former U.S. secretary of state resorted to common neoconservative talking points, declaring:

As we gather here, three evolving threats — Iran’s continued aggression, a rising tide of extremism across a wide arc of instability, and the growing effort to de-legitimize Israel on the world stage — are converging to make the U.S.-Israel alliance more indispensable than ever.

We have to combat all these trends with even more intense security and diplomatic cooperation. The United States and Israel must be closer than ever, stronger than ever and more determined than ever to prevail against our common adversaries and to advance our shared values.

Touting her "deep, personal commitment" to the "Jewish state," Clinton then said that "one of the first things I’ll do in office is invite Israeli Prime Minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] to visit the White House."

Clinton then specifically called on young people "on the front lines" to resist efforts to boycott Israel, saying: "I hope you stay strong. Keep speaking out. Don’t let anyone silence you, bully you or try to shut down debate"

Natalia Poklonskaya may very well be one of the symbols of modern Crimea. Her struggle for Crimea’s reunification with Russia in the aftermath of the Euromaidan crisis in Ukraine was a heroic, selfless act. And it so happened that Russia and Crimea reunited on March 18, the same day Poklonskaya celebrates her birthday.

https://archive.is/OouxA

>Some might say it was Poklonskaya's fate and now she will always celebrate her birthday together with her beloved peninsula as a part of Russia. Others say it was probably just a coincidence. Perhaps so, but one thing is clear — under the watchful eye of Poklonskaya, the cute yet tough Prosecutor General of Crimea, accidents don't just happen.

>This exact same day two years ago, when Poklonskaya turned 34, the Russian government signed the treaty of reunification with the Crimean peninsula. Today Poklonskaya turns 36 and she can't be happier that she and her people now live in Russia.

>"For me it means happiness and pride. Moreover, my dream came true and we returned home and now live in the most wonderful and the best country in the world — in Russia and it all happened on my birthday. Of course, I'm the happiest person. Words can't convey all my feelings and emotions."

>"Because it's a day off and the republic's [Crimea] holiday, I allowed myself for the first time during a press-conference to be without my uniform, and to wear a beautiful dress," Poklonskaya told journalists.

>Fact 1: Before the Maidan protests began, Poklonskaya worked at the Ukrainian General Directorate of Internal Affairs in Kiev. However, on February 25, 2014, Poklonskaya handed in her resignation letter, stating that she was "ashamed to live in the country where neo-fascists freely walk about the streets." She left Kiev for Crimea and on March 11, 2014, was appointed Prosecutor of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

>Prominent ‘Black Lives Matter’ activist and rapper Tef Poe has a message for “white people”: If Donald Trump wins the presidency, “niggas” will ‘incite riots everywhere’.

>“Dear white people if Trump wins young niggas such as myself are fully hell bent on inciting riots everywhere we go. Just so you know,” Poe tweeted today.

>The rapper was one of the co-founders of Hands Up United, a “social justice” organization that emerged after the death of Michael Brown that was responsible for coordinating large BLM protests in the St. Louis area.

stuff like this reminds me how pathetic blacks in America are. Many prefer just more handouts and racial socialism. They really couldn't care less about thing like the trade deficit, the consequences immigration will have on them, that they will be truly (perhaps rightly) excluded and castigated under a Far-Eastern world hegemony, and even taxation doesn't matter to them. For them its really all about a white male making strong gestures and confederate monuments.

and to top it all off, "we gon riet an burn dis bitch down if yall crackas win". So you're going to burn your own neighborhoods down again just like with Michael Brown? And you're going to rob more white people and shoot cops like you were already doing?

Radical leftism at its finest! German culture is being obliterated! Could this be the future of America?

After the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, in early December 2015 where 14 people were massacred and another 22 injured, Americans were informed that one of the attackers, Tashfeen Malik, had been admitted into the U.S. on a Fiance visa, after passing the so-called "vetting" by two separate U.S. government agencies.

Americans started waking up to the fact that Obama's open door policy was not only allowing "refugees" into the U.S. but the whole process from those over-staying their visas, to the vetting of those for different types of visas including fiance visas, to the inability to prevent the terrorist infiltration of the refugees themselves, is woefully inadequate.

Rather than backing any call to suspend the refugee program until such a time as the "vetting" process can be investigated and reformed, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been a proponent to allow more refugees into America, as shown in this September 2015 clip below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMqaItzolOg

Not only would Hillary Clinton continue along the dangerous path that Barack Obama has been traveling, putting all Americans in the line of fire, but she would become our very own Angela Merkel.

What has Angela Merkel done to Germany in the last year?

It is estimated that more than 1.1 million migrants were admitted into Germany in 2015 by Angela Merkel's open door policies. During the 2016 New Years eve celebrations more than 1,900 women were sexually assaulted across Germany by men of ""Arab or North African appearance," to which brought outrage and protests by German citizens against Merkel.

>A leading British university has put signs in their toilets, “designed for international students”, pleading with them not to stand or squat on the loos or leave their business on the floor.

>The signs appear on the University of Sheffield’s campus; a ‘redbrick’ Russell group institution, which is rated as one of the top ten universities in the country and top 100 in the world.

>However, some of the brainy students appear to be lacking in respect for, or cultural awareness of, western sanitary norms.

>One on the new signs read: “Do not put toilet paper on the floor,” followed by: “Put toilet paper in the toilet bowl and flush.”

>Another shows students how to sit correctly and urges them not to squat on the toilet seat. A third adds: “Please leave this toilet as you wish to find it. No standing on seats.”

This speaks for itself, I guess.

Today’s winning Google Doodle invoking Black Lives Matter was designed by high school sophomore

JUST last month, Akilah Johnson was “surprised and overwhelmed” when she learned that she was a national finalist in the “Doodle 4 Google” contest for grade-schoolers.

Imagine how she feels now.

Akilah, a sophomore at Eastern Senior High School in Northeast Washington, has just been named Google’s big winner in the national contest, topping the 53 state and territory champions, whose work had been culled from about 100,000 student entries.

“It is really overwhelming,” Akilah tells The Post’s Comic Riffs, minutes after receiving the news Monday during a ceremony at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.

“I was so excited, I started crying,” Akilah says. “I didn’t even look at anybody — I was just looking at the framed copy [of the Doodle] they gave me.”

Akilah is the contest’s first winner from Washington, as D.C. was not eligible to enter the states-only competition in past years. (The Post’s Comic Riffs had joined the chorus of voices urging that the District be included.)

This year’s contest theme was: “What makes me…me.” Akilah drew a box-braided Doodle, titled “My Afrocentric Life,” using color pencils, black crayons and Sharpie markers. The Doodle includes symbols of black heritage and signs representing the Black Lives Matter movement.

>François Legault is no Québécois Donald Trump. The Coalition Avenir Québec leader hasn’t called immigrants rapists and drug dealers, or proposed to build a wall at the border, or to carry out mass deportations, or to turn away Muslims.

>All he did, ostensibly, was express concern about Quebec’s ability to absorb the additional 10,000 immigrants a year the Couillard government proposes to admit.

>So Premier Philippe Couillard surely exaggerated when he attacked Legault for “mounting the anti-immigrant backlash movement we observe south of our border and in Europe,” and of “blowing once again on the coals of intolerance.”

>Commentators and even political adversaries came to Legault’s defence against what they said was an attempt by Couillard to discourage legitimate debate.

>And then I happened upon a media release issued by Legault’s party this week.

>In the release, the CAQ candidate in the April 11 Chicoutimi by-election challenged her Liberal opponent to say where she stands on the Couillard government’s proposal to admit 60,000 immigrants a year instead of the present objective of 50,000.

>Rather, she spoke about identity, the French language and Quebec values. The former Parti Québécois government’s “charter of values” may be dead, but apparently the values issue itself isn’t.

>“Today, the population of Chicoutimi has the right to know what (Liberal candidate) Francyne T. Tremblay really thinks about the increase of 10,000 immigrants a year,” the CAQ candidate said. “It’s simple: we can’t raise immigration levels without the (present) courses on French and common Quebec values (for immigrants) being made compulsory.”

A top Homeland Security official told Border Patrol agents the Obama regime has “no intention of deporting” many of the illegal immigrants caught trying to sneak into the country, ordering instead that they be released so they don’t clog up the courts, a leading advocate for agents testified to Congress.

Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, said the orders are a new “catch and release” policy, which he said “amounts to amnesty” because it means many illegal immigrants are never asked to leave the country.

It also suggests the Border Patrol is being ordered to break President Obama’s own enforcement priorities, which say new illegal immigrants — defined as those who came after Dec. 31, 2013 — are priorities for deportation, and are supposed to be arrested and processed. (Obama is aware of this, and has fired many officials over it.)

Mr. Judd provided his testimony in written answers released Monday by the House Judiciary Committee, saying that even in some criminal cases, agents are ordered to let illegal immigrants go without ever issuing them a Notice to Appear, or NTA, which is what puts them into deportation proceedings.

Mr. Judd said they took their case directly to Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who told them not to bother.

“Deputy Secretary Mayorkas told us that the Border Patrol needs to focus its resources towards the worst of the worst. He said that by prioritizing those we choose to deport, we will help alleviate the burden on an already overburdened court system,” Mr. Judd recalled.

“He further stated, ‘Why would we NTA those we have no intention of deporting?’ He also stated, ‘We should not place someone in deportation proceedings, when the courts already have a 3-6 year backlog,’” Mr. Judd recounted. “Since the day of this meeting, we have seen no improvements in our enforcement efforts and the morale of the Border Patrol agents is one of, if not the lowest in the entire federal government.”

>'Secret agents of change'

>A U.S. intelligence community that once forced out gays and lesbians for security reasons now sees INCLUSIVITY as the best way to protect the country, and seeks to recruit spies from a wider talent pool that includes the LGBT community.

>At a session titled America’s LGBT Spies (Secret Agents of Change) held at the South by Southwest tech summit in Austin, Texas, the panelists said for the U.S. intelligence community – with a $60 billion-plus budget and more than 100,000 employees – to attract the best talent, it must embrace diversity.

>“We are not the organization of your grandfathers. We have gone from a very dark and closed environment to a very welcoming and open environment,” said Tracey Ballard, technical intelligence officer with the Central Intelligence Agency, who came out as a lesbian in 1988.

>Ballard said at that time, agents risked losing their security clearances and their jobs by coming out. She was initially ostracized by the agency she has served and seen evolve over 30 years or so of service.

>She said under Cold War thinking, being gay could subject someone to blackmail, and coming out meant someone would be seen as a deviant who could not be trusted. Over the years, the intelligence community has changed to allow people to be themselves.

>“We are in a competition with the rest of the companies out there for talent. If we cannot continue to bring in talent, we cannot bring in the best intelligence,” said panelist Kris Gill, global programs manager for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

19 March 2016

Palm Beach, Florida – Having an interesting dinner at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and residence – which may become the southern White House if fed-up American voters have their way.

One feels an air of whispered importance and gravitas here. After Trump’s smashing primary victories this past week, there’s a growing sense that the Donald is headed for victory while his legions of bitter opponents are left wringing their hands.

In fact, Trump is fast emerging as an American version of the People’s Tribunes of ancient Rome, the important state officials who voiced the people’s anger and concerns.

As the Trump revolution spreads, his enemies are desperately seeking ways to stop the Donald’s Juggernaut. Cries go to the heavens, “save the Republican Party before Trump wrecks it.”

As a life-long (but now fallen away) Republican, I say “good riddance”. More power to Trump to blast apart this deeply corrupt, cynical party steeped in political payoffs and religious fanaticism, and run by former used car dealers from Pocatello.

Many moons ago, I even began a run for Congress from my native New York City but was horrified to see the creatures that scuttled below the city’s political rocks. A senior party official who was also a prison guard advised me: “son, only two types of people go into politics. Those with no money like me; and those from rich families who do it for their egos.”

The Clintons are a perfect example of the former, two local Arkansas politicians who made millions by peddling influence. Trump fits the second category. He is a rough, tough, uncultured but wealthy New Yorker whose family there dates from the 1880’s when the city was the third largest German city in the world after Berlin and Hamburg.

Readers keep asking me what I think of Trump. My view: he is the worst of the candidates – except all the others
