Thomas Lifson:’Million Person March’ to Take Down Confederate Flag in Columbia, SC Draws Almost Nobody

You might expect the usual disputes over crowd size when a leftist group calls a “million man person march.” Usually these feature aerial photos and arguments over how many individuals are crowded how densely into a certain amount of space. But with the “million person march” that promised ‘the flag will come down,” called by Operation Ferguson yesterday in Columbia, SC, this was not a problem. The only photo available of the event shows three people, all of them onstage.
The great Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit spotted the utter flop. After waiting and waiting and waiting for photos:

Here is the only photo available from today’s Million Person March.

Only three people at the Million Person March…

Choosing Misery: The Culture of Victimhood and Ingratitude By Patrick Goble

Attention all armchair crusaders, warriors of the web, and victims of life, the universe, and everything:

Take a break from your e-rantings, your Twitter manifestos, and your Justrage railings. Stop screaming at your screens for a moment – they can wait, and the odds of them walking away are slim. Put down your Frappuccino, your Doritos, and your frozen pizza.

This is meant for you.

Not long ago, I happened upon an article on society’s newest scourge – one more aggressive than a microaggression, more fearsome than a raging Bull Connor, and more phallic than a good five-cent cigar – creeping sexism.

Terrified yet? Collect your thoughts, change your underwear, and get back to your screens as soon as you can.

Roger Kimball The ’70s Again, with a Transgender Bonus

Muggers are prowling Central Park once more while public nuisances shake down New York’s motorists and crime soars. Welcome to the increasingly bruised Big Apple of Mayor Bill de Blasio, his progressive agenda — and the inevitable results
Welcome to the 1970s! In New York, anyway, one of the decades Tom Wolfe denominated “purple” has made a stunning comeback. Consider crime. After a precipitous decline that began under the mayoralty of Rudy Giuliani and continued under Michael Bloomberg, violent crime has soared in the city. From May 2014 to the end of May this year, shootings increased almost 10 per cent while murders jumped a stunning 19.5 per cent during the same period. Meanwhile, Central Park has once again become a haven for thieves and muggers. “Police are investigating another mugging in Central Park,” begins a May 20 story in the New York Post, “the latest in a string of robberies that has residents on edge.”

Beware of Stage 1 Thinking Policy Makers Ambassador (Ret.) Yoram Ettinger,

National security and foreign policy makers should study a critical lesson of the medical profession: The failure to think beyond the stage 1 effect of painkillers may solve short-term problems, but will trigger long-term health risks: addiction, organ damage, nausea, headaches, dizziness, memory impairment and decreased cognitive performance.

National security and foreign policy makers should, also, heed the following observation by Thomas Sowell: “when most voters do not think beyond stage 1, many elected officials have no incentive to weigh what the consequences will be in later stages…. These reactions would lead to consequences much less desirable than those at stage one…. Most thinking stops at stage 1….” Sowell argues that “basic economics is generally misapplied because politicians think only in stage 1 – the immediate result of an action, without determining what happens next. Many politicians cannot see beyond stage one because they do not think beyond the next election.”

Nonie Darwish :When It Comes To Islam, The West Is Stupid!

http://clashdaily.com/2015/07/former-muslim-when-it-comes-to-islam-the-west-is-stupid/

The biggest helpers to Islam against free people ARE the free people in the West! Despite the plethora of info available on the ideology of Islam, people in the West continue to be useful idiots and are enabling the War against freedom and abetting the Islamic troops. Listen to author & former Muslim, Nonie Darwish, come out swinging against the perpetual stupidity of leaders and the media in the West, here.

Islamists Only Want One Thing. We Cannot Appease Them By Charles Moore

Like the old Leninists, Isil truly believes only it can defeat the conspiracy that runs the world. There is no possible common ground

David Cameron calls Isil an “existential threat” to the Western way of life. On the face of it, that seems ridiculous. How could a bunch of relatively poor, ill-armed fanatics and psychopaths conceivably topple what remains the most dominant civilisation since the Roman Empire?

In physical terms, they can’t (yet). We in the West have much more money, many more weapons (though here in Britain, we have been doing our best to weaken ourselves militarily) and greatly superior technology. While Islamist fanatics can murder 30 British tourists on a North African beach, we can probably intercept enough of them here to keep their activities below a certain level.
