🇺🇸 **Trump threatens government shutdown over border wall funding**
<https://archive.is/hiSlP>

President Trump on Tuesday threatened to shut down the federal government if Congress doesn't present him with a spending bill for the next fiscal year that includes funding for a wall on the southern border.

*"The obstructionist Democrats would like us not to do it, but believe me, if we have to close down our government, we're building that wall,"* Trump said at a rally in Phoenix.

Trump reiterated his message that he was elected to help boost national security and keep illegal immigrants out of the country, many of whom he said are dangerous. He noted that he's met with several families who have lost loved ones due to violence by illegal immigrants.

*"I promised these families the deaths of their loved ones will not have been in vain,"* he said.

Two national mathematics organizations are on a mission to prove that math education is *“unjust and grounded in a legacy of institutional discrimination.”*

The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) and TODOS: Mathematics for All *“ratify social justice as a key priority in the access to, engagement with, and advancement in mathematics education for our country’s youth,”* the groups declared last year in a joint statement, elaborating that *“a social justice stance interrogates and challenges the roles power, privilege, and oppression play in the current unjust system of mathematics education—and in society as a whole.”*

🇺🇸 **UN racism committee issues 'warning' over US tensions**
<https://archive.is/A8dSb>

Geneva (AFP) - A UN committee tasked with combatting racism has issued a formal "early warning" over conditions in the United States, a rare move often used to signal the potential of a looming civil conflict. The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination said it had invoked its "early warning and urgent action procedure" because of the proliferation of racist demonstrations in the US.

It specifically noted the unrest in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which a woman was killed after an avowed white supremacist ploughed his car into a group of anti-racism counterprotestors.

The racism committee, part of the UN human rights office, can issue a formal early warning to help prevent "existing problems from escalating into conflict" or to "prevent a resumption of conflict where it has previously occurred", according to the rights office website.

🇸🇾 **Civil war in Syria ‘de-facto over’ – Russian defense minister**
<https://archive.is/RdlUz>

The implementation of de-escalation zones in Syria and the separation of terrorists from opposition have allowed to intensify the fight against terrorism, effectively ending the civil war in the country, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said. He praised the efforts of Lebanese army to eradicate Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and the Al-Nusra front terrorist group in areas they hold on the Lebanon-Syria border. On Tuesday, the Lebanese army launched the third phase of the ongoing operation, targeting IS-held areas alongside the border.

*“Both we and you understand that the terrorist flow from one country to another cannot go on perpetually. We wish that our western partners understood that too, and separated the moderate opposition from terrorists at last, ceasing indiscriminate support to everyone,”* Shoigu said.

Shoigu then brought up the example of the situation in Syria, arguing that the separation of the terrorists from opposition allowed to “de-facto end” the civil war there, allowing a focus on the fight against terrorism.

🇺🇸 **Google Memo Guy Hires Powerhouse Attorney**
<https://archive.is/7pBiZ>

Former Google software engineer James Damore authored a memo describing why gender representation discrepancies exist in the tech industry and ripping Google's supposedly "pro-diversity" policies. Refusing to allow one of its own employees to spread conservative-leaning heresies, Google quickly fired Damore. Now, he has hired powerhouse conservative lawyer Harmeet Dhillon to bring a lawsuit against the tech leviathan.

California is an "at-will" state, so Google was allowed to fire Damore. However, he claims he was whistleblowing on illegal activity within Google. If that is true, then his firing would be an unlawful firing. Damore alleges Google treats people preferentially in the hiring process depending on their race or gender.

🇺🇸 **Baltimore's Leaders Admit They Know How To Reduce Murder Rate, But REFUSE To Do It**
<https://archive.is/ZOe9M>

In recent years, Baltimore's homicide rate has spiked dramatically, up 50% from just six years ago. The primary reason the city is suffering the alarming increase in crime is on full display in an interview published by the Baltimore Sun this week.

In a rather remarkable admission, Baltimore's progressive law enforcement leaders, State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby (of Freddie Gray trial infamy) and Police Commissioner Kevin Davis, admitted to the paper that the skyrocketing homicide rate — averaging over 300 murders a year, up from less than 200 murders in 2011 — was directly linked to disavowing the more stringent policing policies of the past. *While those more "heavy-handed" policies have clearly proven to work, Mosby and Davis made clear in the interview that they will not let proven success get in the way of their perceived "progress."*

🇬🇧 **Britain Now Censoring 'Homophobic' And 'Transphobic' Social Media**
<https://archive.is/SD5Sy>

Arguing that hate speech online typically leads to hate crimes, Alison Saunders, director of public prosecutions for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), wrote in The Guardian that all speech "whether shouted or tweeted" will come under legal scrutiny. Saunders says the measure could provide a helpful template for "how societies might do more to prevent such opinions from gestating in the first place."

Without defining what constitutes an actual "hate crime" online, which could range from something as volatile as writing vulgar messages on someone's Facebook wall or as frivolous as sharing an article about the psychological dangers of transgenderism, Saunders vows that the CPS "commits to treat online hate crimes as seriously as those committed face to face."

The CPS defines a hate crime as follows: "any criminal offense which is **perceived** by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice."

🇺🇸 **Study: Social justice activism is 'rife' with 'oppression'**
<https://archive.is/uimhF>

In an article published Monday in the *Journal of Homosexuality*, Dr. Whitney Hagen of Florida Atlantic University, et al. argue that “activist communities” are hostile toward gay and transgender populations, adding that individuals with “multiple oppressed statuses and identities” are “especially prone to oppression-based experiences, even within minority activist communities.”

*“There’s a lot of fat oppression that I’ve dealt with,”* remarked a respondent referred to as Lorrain, who added that she has *“definitely been heckled for being queer, been discriminated against on a job for being queer, and for being female.”*

She also reported “not feeling at home” at meetings in the trans community, while another woman, Jenny, recounted an experience in which an activism idea she proposed was shot down by a group of older females, whom she felt were “overreacting and really kind of placing the blame on me, as a young feminist.”

Despite such findings, the study concludes by stressing the importance of activism, saying it is important for “combatting internalized oppression and everyday traumas” that yield “positive outcomes.”

A Berkeley-area teacher and political organizer says that she's justified in throwing a punch at a neo-Nazi during a demonstration because *she's on a mission to save the world from "fascism"* — and __therefore she can't be guilty of a crime__.

Felarca was arrested last month and charged with "assault by means of force likely to inflict great bodily injury, a felony, and participating in a riot, and inciting a riot, both misdemeanors," according to local paper Berkeleyside. During her arraignment this week, Felarca was unapologetic, telling the court that she's justified in punching Nazis and that the charges should be dropped.

*“Standing up against fascism and the rise of Nazism and fascism in this country is not a crime,”* Felarca said. *“We have the right to defend ourselves.”*

A District of Columbia Federal Judge has approved a government warrant seeking information about users and subscribers to an anti-Trump website which has been linked to rioting during the presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C., but he added protections to safeguard "innocent users."

Chief Judge Robert Morin ruled that DreamHost, an LA-based web-hosting company, must turn over data about visitors to the website disruptj20.org, which is a home to political activists who organized protests at the time of Donald Trump's inauguration as U.S. president in January, many of whom have since morphed into the controversial "antifa" movement.

**Canadians will soon be able to ID gender as 'X' on their passports**
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/transgender-passport-x-identify-1.4261667

- a fucking leaf
- Transgender travellers and those who do not identify as male or female can check off an 'X' box


Canadians will soon have a third option to identify their gender on passports under new rules that will come into effect by the end of the month.

Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said he was making the change so all Canadians can feel safe to be themselves and express their gender as they choose.

"By introducing an 'X' gender designation in our government-issued documents, we are taking an important step towards advancing equality for all Canadians regardless of gender identity or expression," Hussen said in a statement.

A sex field is mandatory for travel documents under International Civil Aviation Organization rules. ICAO allows one of three markers: F for female, M for male or X for "unspecified."

If travelling to a country that doesn't treat transgender people equally under the law, it remains up to the traveller to review the federal government-issued travel advisories for that region before leaving Canada.

- WH is all filled with globalist kikes

White House economic adviser Gary Cohn challenged Donald Trump’s response to Charlottesville, insisting that the president had to do a better job condemning white supremacists.

“I believe this administration can and must do better in consistently and unequivocally condemning these groups and do everything we can to heal the deep divisions that exist in our communities,” Cohn said in an interview with the Financial Times.

“Citizens standing up for equality and freedom can never be equated with white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK,” he said.

Cohn insisted that by staying in his job in the White House, he was fighting white supremacists.

“As a Jewish American, I will not allow neo-Nazis ranting ‘Jews will not replace us’ to cause this Jew to leave his job,” he said.

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, who has served as deputy assistant to President Donald Trump since January, resigned from the White House administration on Friday evening.

“Given recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House,” Gorka wrote in his resignation letter. “As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the People’s House.”

Sources within the administration close to Dr. Gorka claim he became disillusioned because Trump’s key policy platform of fighting radical Islamic terrorism was repeatedly undermined when his national security adviser, HR McMaster, fired key individuals from the national security council who were loyal to that platform.

A source close to Dr. Gorka claimed that he made his decision following the President’s speech in which he indicated he would escalate America’s war in Afghanistan. **“The anti-MAGAs” have control of Trump’s foreign policy**, the source said.

<https://archive.is/UOMQI>

Two right-leaning rallies in the Bay Area were cancelled last weekend by organizers over fears of violence, but that didn’t stop leftist radicals from creating chaos.

Berkeley police reportedly made 14 arrests Sunday as thousands of counter-protesters flooded Civic Center Park in Berkeley, even though the previously scheduled No to Marxism in America rally had been cancelled the day before.

Hundreds of black-clad antifa activists jumped police barricades and tracked down the small number of Trump supporters who showed up anyway, beating up at least one man and hitting another with sticks, as shown on video from KCRA-TV in Sacramento.

One of those targeted was Joey Gibson, founder of Patriot Prayer, who was chased and pepper-sprayed by a mob of leftist protesters before being rescued by police, according to SFGate.

“In contrast with Barcelona, where they had not set up protection, we keep our guard up,” Burgnaro told reporters, according to The Times. “If anyone runs into St Mark’s Square shouting ‘Allahu Akhbar’, we will take him down. A year ago I said after four steps, now after three. I will say it in Venetian: ‘Ghe Sparemo’ (We will shoot him).”

🇺🇸 **Black Lives Matter Leader Pens List Of 10 Demands For White People. They're Insane.**
<https://archive.is/AVTkk>

In the first six demands, Helm focuses on white people giving up their property and money to poor minorities, since white people are "bound to make that money in some other white privileged way":
```Markdown
1. White people, if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.

4. White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you own to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

5. White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racists assholes, change the will, and will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably a family from generational poverty.

6. White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.
```
Then the racism dial somehow finds a way to get turned up even higher. Helm, while making several stereotypical and offensive claims, urges white people to "get a racist fired."
```Markdown
8. Backing up No. 7, this should be easy but all those sheetless Klan, Nazi’s and Other lil’ d***-white men will all be returning to work. Get they ass fired. Call the police even: they look suspicious.

9. OK, backing up No. 8, if any white person at your work, or as you enter in spaces and you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first, get a pic. Get their name and more info. Hell, find out where they work — Get Them Fired. But certainly address them, and, if you need to, you got hands: use them.

10. Commit to two things: Fighting white supremacy where and how you can (this doesn’t mean taking up knitting, unless you’re making scarves for black and brown kids in need), and funding black and brown people and their work.

<https://archive.is/RNlIe>

Stormfront, one of the internet’s oldest and most popular white supremacist sites, has been booted off its web address of more than two decades amid a crackdown against hate sites. The address Stormfront.org went dark on Friday, and publicly available information current lists its domain status as “under hold,” a category reserved for websites under legal dispute or slated for deletion, the USA Today network first reported.

The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a D.C.-based nonprofit group, said it was behind the effort and had successfully booted the website from its domain of 22 years by raising its concerns with Stormfront’s registrar, Network Solutions LLC, and its parent company, Web.com.

“We will continue to use every tool in our arsenal to disrupt vehicles used to promote and incite racial violence across our country,” Ms. Clarke added. “Especially in the wake of tragic events in Charlottesville and the spike in hate crimes across the country, Stormfront crossed the line of permissible speech and incited and promoted violence.”

Although North Korea has sent a missile over Japan once before – in 1998 – this launch comes at a time of heightened tensions. Pyongyang has been threatening to fire a missile over Japan and into the waters around the American territory of Guam.

“We'll make the utmost effort to protect the public,” a visibly agitated Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, told reporters at his office early Tuesday morning. NHK showed Patriot missiles lined up in Japan, a staunch U.S. ally, ready to shoot down any incoming missiles.

Lincoln, N.H. – U.S. Border Patrol agents based out of the Beecher Falls Border Patrol Station, had a busy weekend August 25 – 27, including arresting 25 illegal aliens and seizing various narcotics and drug paraphernalia. The sector established the checkpoint with the support of the Woodstock Police Department, on Interstate 93 in New Hampshire.

During the 3-day operation, Swanton Sector agents encountered and arrested 25 people who did not possess valid immigration status, 14 of whom were visa overstays from Colombia. Agents also arrested other illegal aliens from Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador and Mexico.

In addition to the immigration violations, agents seized drugs and drug paraphernalia including 2 pounds of marijuana and smaller amounts of cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms and hash oil. The subjects and contraband were turned over to the Woodstock Police Department for further investigation and prosecution.

INSURGE INTELLIGENCE, a new crowd-funded investigative journalism project, breaks the exclusive story of how the United States intelligence community funded, nurtured and incubated Google as part of a drive to dominate the world through control of information. Seed-funded by the NSA and CIA, Google was merely the first among a plethora of private sector start-ups co-opted by US intelligence to retain ‘information superiority.’

The origins of this ingenious strategy trace back to a secret Pentagon-sponsored group, that for the last two decades has functioned as a bridge between the US government and elites across the business, industry, finance, corporate, and media sectors.

Gross domestic product increased at a 3.0 percent annual rate in the April-June period, the Commerce Department said in its second estimate on Wednesday. The upward revision from the 2.6 percent pace reported last month reflected robust consumer spending as well as strong business investment.

Growth last quarter was the strongest since the first quarter of 2015 and followed a 1.2 percent pace in the January-March period. Economists had expected that second-quarter GDP growth would be raised to a 2.7 percent rate.

Writing in The Daily Signal, Walt Heyer, who underwent the full transgender procedure of taking hormones and having his genitalia removed so he could live as a woman before ultimately realizing he made a terrible mistake, asserts that even the world-famous surgeon who operated on him admitted that changing one’s hormones and removing one’s genitalia do not change a biological man into a biological woman.
Heyer recalls that his “sex change” surgery from male to female was performed by Stanley Biber in Trinidad, Colorado. He notes that Trinidad was nicknamed the “Sex Change Capital of the World,” and that Biber himself said he performed over 5,000 such surgeries during his career.

Eight years after the surgery, Heyer recognized his mistake. He writes that in order to legally change his gender back to male, he had to file a petition with the California Superior Court that verified he met certain criteria.
