"‘Good riddance’: Trumpian right celebrates retirement of ‘globalist’ Paul Ryan"

Spoiler

The glee was palpable in the right-wing corners of the Internet and media at the news that House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R) was leaving at the end of the year. There, Ryan’s departure was greeted not with hand-wringing but celebration, as if it were a Super Bowl victory.

“We WILL NOT miss Paul Ryan,” one Twitter user with over 20,000 followers bellowed this week. “President Trump is the one who truly loves this country, who loves the people of this country, and we give ZERO flying flips what you think.”

“GOOD RIDDANCE,” Trump loyalist and Fox News commentator Sebastian Gorka thundered on Twitter.

The reaction to Ryan’s departure from the right is not surprising. Democrats, too, have excoriated Ryan for not standing up to Trump’s extreme comments and outrages. But he’s won no friends from the president’s supporters for his silence, despite his crucial role in what Trump cites as his major legislative victory, enactment of tax legislation.

Indeed, Trump boosters have long seen the Wisconsin politician as, in the words of a Breitbart News report from Tuesday, “the leader of the globalist wing of the Republican Party.” From this position, Ryan’s departure is Trump’s win.

Breitbart led the charge with two articles Tuesday following the announcement. The first — “9 Times Paul Ryan Put American Workers Last, Foreigners First” — documented Ryan’s “pro-immigration, wage-crushing, big business-first record, whereby American workers have been left behind by multinational free trade and mass immigration.”

The same theme — the abandoned America worker — wove through a second piece, “Paul Ryan’s Globalist Legacy: Ignoring America’s Working Class at the Behest of Billionaire Koch Brothers.” The article argued that the speaker would leave “behind a legacy that ignored America’s working and middle class, while serving up an agenda favored by billionaires Charles and David Koch.”

The right-wing Gateway Pundit offered speculation about Ryan’s motives in “GOP Lawmaker Suspects Paul Ryan Leaving Congress To Salvage Reputation Ahead Of Possible Presidential Run.” The piece prominently featured a photograph of the speaker with President Barack Obama.

Fox News also picked up the signals emanating from Ryan’s exit. Host Laura Ingraham, still losing sponsors for ridiculing a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, addressed Ryan’s announcement on Tuesday night by contrasting the speaker with the president.

“The two of them represent opposing strains of conservatism in some sense,” Ingraham told viewers. “One, the free trade, more interventionist, establishment. That’s Paul Ryan. And the other, a more America-first populism. That’s Trump. The speaker’s departure is a clear sign in my mind that Trump’s vision, not Ryan’s, is the future of the party.”

Trump supporters online were more full-throated in their dismissal of the speaker.

“Paul Ryan is a bought-out globalist that went from opposing Trump to a supposed ally that’s done nothing but stall the America First agenda,” one posted.

“Paul Ryan’s retirement signals that the establishment GOP are no different than the Dems & are losing their grip on power. American people have had enough of globalist rule,” a second said.

“After That Outrageous Omnibus Bill Paul Ryan Put Out THAT DIDN’T FUND THE WALL & SUPPORTED ILLEGAL ALIENS AND OPEN BORDERS I Say, See Ya And I’m Not Gonna Miss Ya!!!” a third wrote.

The mood was equally buoyant on r/The Donald, the Reddit page dedicated to pro-Trump memes and rants.

“Trump is winning!!! Ryan steps down,” a poster wrote. “The good guys are winning.”

Outside the Trump base and its media organs, only one other person seemed to be pulling the same energy out of Ryan’s retirement: Randy Bryce, the mustachioed ironworker running as a Democrat for Ryan’s Wisconsin congressional seat.

“WE JUST REPEALED PAUL RYAN,” Bryce announced. “Now it’s time to replace him.”

They made a lyin comey website FFS

LyinComey.com  I'm going to say that I find this shocking, in the most literal sense.  It's so damn slimey.

Here's where I think the GOP has gone into a circular firing squad formation, where each person shoots the foot of the adjacent person.  

There are many old-school conservatives, decent people who value decency, who are simply aghast at Trump and find him utterly disgusting.  A website called Lyin' Comey will not go over well.  It's the most blatant form of agitprop and it will be an insult to those who consider themselves thoughtful conservatives, and believe me, they are out there.  Do they outnumber the base?  Might they defect from the GOP to vote D or Independent? That's an interesting question and we'll know in 2018 and 2020.  

James Comey is a seemingly nice guy who went against the VERY SPECIFIC guidelines of the agency he led to take an action that probably cost Hillary Clinton the election -- the guidelines that were in place to make sure that no statements of the kind he made would influence an election.   That, in itself, is treasonous to me, which I try to keep in mind, because, ya know, Lordy, such a nice guy.

Trump-loving ‘America First’ boxer pounded into submission by Mexican opponent

Quote

According to a report from Deadspin, a white boxer who entered the ring wearing trunks that featured a red, white and blue wall pattern and the slogan “America 1st” never made it to the 7th round after his Mexican opponent beat him into submission.

The report states that American boxer Rod Salka lost a six-round bout to Mexican fighter –and former WBC super featherweight champion — Francisco Vargas on Thursday night while wearing his anti-immigrant trunks.

According to BoxingScene, Salka went down in the fifth round and stayed down for an eight-count of eight as the bell sounded to end the round.

After taking a beating the sixth, which opened a cut over his left eye, Salka retreated to his corner at the end of the round where his trainers promptly threw in the towel to end the fight.

The article has a link to a Spanish-language YouTube video of the fight.

That fuck that was shooting effigies of David Hogg got his ass banned from twitter 

Quote

A pro-Donald Trump troll has been suspended from Twitter after posting a video of himself shooting up a photo of Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg.

The brief video opens on what appears to be a shooting range. Frank Espinoza, clad in all black, including a black "Make America Great Again" hat, talks to the camera as he places a black mask over his mouth.

Espinoza, a far-right, California-based YouTube performer who was banned from that platform but has since adopted another account, had his handle suspended from Twitter on Thursday in the wake of the stunt. Espinoza goes by the name LA Werewolf, and has made efforts to build a career for himself in the self-made punditry business of the alt-right movement.

Area voters shocked when man who promised to hound immigrants hounds immigrants

I hope they implode themselves out of business: "‘Imploding’: Financial troubles. Lawsuits. Trailer park brawls. Has the alt-right peaked?"

Spoiler

Eight months after a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville ended in the death of a counterprotester, the loose collection of disaffected young white men known as the alt-right is in disarray.

The problems have been mounting: lawsuits and arrests, fundraising difficulties, tepid recruitment, widespread infighting, fierce counterprotests and banishment on social media platforms. Taken together, they’ve exhausted even some of the staunchest members.

One of the movement’s biggest groups, the Traditionalist Worker Party, dissolved in March. Andrew Anglin, founder of the Daily St**mer, the largest alt-right website, has gone into hiding, chased by a harassment lawsuit. And Richard Spencer, the alt-right’s most public figure, cancelled a college speaking tour and was abandoned by his attorney last month.

“Things have become a lot harder, and we paid a price for what happened in Charlottesville. . . . The question is whether there is going to be a third act,” said Spencer, who coined the name of the movement, which rose to prominence during the 2016 presidential campaign, advocates a whites-only ethno-state, and has posted racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic memes across the Internet.

Overall, the number of neo-Nazi groups increased in the United States in 2017, from 99 to 121, according to a Southern Poverty Law Center report released this year. That number is likely to decrease this year, said Heidi Beirich, who co-wrote the report. SPLC did not group alt-right organizations together, but some of the neo-Nazi groups were an outgrowth of the movement.

“Imploding,” is how Beirich now describes the alt-right. “The self-inflicted damage, the defections, the infighting is so rampant, it’s to the point of almost being pathetic.”

Even so, there is little doubt that white supremacy remains a potent force that is ikely to emerge again as a political one — if not as the alt-right, then as something else. Racial animus remains an entrenched aspect of American life.

The alt-right “is on a downward spiral, but it doesn’t mean they’re going to disappear, and that they’re not going to regroup,” said Marilyn Mayo, who studies hate groups for the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism. She said one large group called Identity Evropa — which targets college-aged men, is less extreme in rhetoric and has turned away from the alt-right label — has grown recently.

“March was a phenomenal month for Identity Evropa, perhaps our best month,” group spokesman Darren Baker said.

Chris Schiano, a reporter for Unicorn Riot, a decentralized nonprofit media organization that has leaked internal correspondence among alt-right members, called the alt-right “basically done.” It could resurface if it falls out of public view and organizes under newer, younger leaders, he cautions, but they haven’t “gotten much traction yet.”

“The overall level of racism in U.S. society hasn’t improved, it’s just that the organizing space for these types of networks” has largely been depleted, said Schiano, whose group rose out of Occupy Wall Street and documents social protests. “So the latent potential won’t go away unless society becomes less racist.”

Three percent of Americans surveyed this winter as part of a Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll said they support the alt-right or white nationalist movement.

The zenith of the alt-right — Charlottesville’s Unite the Right rally — also appears to have been the moment of its decline, according to hate-group experts and members of the alt-right, most of whom were predicting a surge in membership at the time.

The death of Heather Heyer, 32 — killed in Charlottesville when a young alt-right member allegedly plowed his car into her — and President Trump’s reluctance to disown white nationalism focused a degree of scrutiny on the movement that it hadn’t known until then. People started being fired from their jobs. Families disowned their children. Fundraising websites dropped people associated with the alt-right, making it difficult to raise money. Reporters covered every misstep.

Chris Cantwell, a white nationalist radio host featured in a Vice video on the march viewed by millions, wept on camera in a video he posted to the Internet, proclaiming himself “terrified” after Charlottesville police issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of using tear gas in the protest. The Daily St**mer was dropped by its web-hosting company.

Some members have given up on the movement entirely. “I got to go back to my normal life,” Connor Perrin, who drove all night from Austin to Charlottesville to protest what he saw as the oppression of white men in the United States, said in an interview late last year. “I’m focusing on working and being normal. . . . My mom is like, ‘Stop being alt-right. You’re going to get yourself in trouble.’ ” He later added: “We lost.”

Others said they were told they weren’t extreme enough for the movement. “I was unofficially kicked out because I had sex with a half-Japanese girl, and they didn’t like that,” said Jack, 18, of Aurora, Ill., who spoke on the condition that his last name not be published. “With white nationalists, you’re never white enough.”

There has long been infighting in the white supremacist movement. The National Alliance, which for decades was the country’s best organized and perhaps most powerful white supremacist group, succumbed to infighting and a rapid decline following the death of its leader, William Pierce, in 2002. The history of the Ku Klux Klan, too, is one of infighting and internal turmoil.

What separates the alt-right movement from older groups like these, however, is that its members are Internet natives. They riff off contemporary culture and politics and understand the power of leavening hate with attempts at humor, which makes their messaging and memes more palatable to disillusioned suburban white kids who spend a lot of time online. Their ideas have infected the mainstream.

“We’re not going back to a time when no one had heard the word ‘alt-right,’ ” Spencer said. “We’re not going back to a time when no one had heard of an ethno-state. It’s in the discourse.”

But in the same way the Internet was a boon for the alt-right, enabling rapid mobilization, fundraising and a sense of community, it also has thrown up roadblocks to the movement’s progress. After alt-right members started getting booted from Facebook and Twitter, they relocated to alternative social media platforms, such as Gab, where they weren’t likely to encounter, let alone radicalize, people they call “normies,” who use more mainstream outlets.

Participation and enthusiasm appear to have slowed since. Several street rallies have been sparsely populated by white supremacists — but overwhelmingly attended by counterprotesters — and by the time Spencer ended his college speaking tour, few supporters were coming to his speeches.

And for Sto**front, a large white-supremacist online forum whose threads were read by some alt-right members, few were donating money. “It’s that time of month again, when the big, scary bills hit,” wrote site creator Don Black, whose wife, according to site members, has stopped financially supporting the forum, and whose son, Derek, has rejected white supremacy. “Our contributions have once again totaled less than $2000, which is not enough to cover our basic server and radio bills, and this month we no longer have enough personal money to make up the difference.”

The Traditionalist Worker Party, which at its height operated in at least eight states and had about 1,200 paying members, according to its leaders, also collapsed last month. It was perhaps the most institutionally organized of all the groups comprising the alt-right. It had a clear hierarchy — paying members reporting to regional commanders, who in turn reported to the top leaders living in a trailer park in Paoli, Ind., where everything came apart last month.

The dynamic between co-founders Matt Parrott and Matthew Heimbach has always been unconventional. Heimbach is married to Parrott’s stepdaughter from a former marriage, and the two men lived in neighboring trailers, where they promoted traditional gender roles in addition to white-supremacist beliefs.

But according to a police report obtained by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Heimbach and Parrott’s wife began sleeping together. In early March, the two told Parrott and Heimbach’s wife that the three-month affair was over, but Parrott didn’t believe it, so he concocted a plan to catch them. Heimbach and Parrott’s wife fell for it, while Parrott was outside, standing atop a box, looking in from the window. Then the box broke, and, cover presumably blown, Parrott went to confront Heimbach, who allegedly choked him. Parrott lost consciousness, then fled to Walmart, where he called police, who reported that Heimbach later violently grabbed his wife’s face.

Heimbach was charged with felony domestic battery, the Traditionalist Worker Party disintegrated, and Parrott, speaking on the phone earlier this month, sounded different from the triumphant white supremacist who in the days following the Charlottesville rally had promised that he and the alt-right were here to stay.

“I’m unplugged from politics,” Parrott said. “I’m done. I’m out. I don’t want to be in The Washington Post anymore. I don’t care to have this humiliating and terrifying ordeal be more public than it already is. . . . There is no more Trad Worker.”

Heimbach, citing the advice of his attorneys, declined to comment.

The group’s website was removed. Some members said they were out. Others said they wanted to start something new. Another group, called Nationalist Initiative, soon coalesced online, heralding a new brand.

“TWP failed,” it said in a tweet this month to its 68 followers. “What comes from the ashes?”

Changed some of the sites, replacing some letters with asterisks, since I recall @Destiny saying there had been an issue in the past.

I noticed that this school uses a Classical Curriculum and immediately wondered if this particular teacher was exposed to Doug Wilson's type of Classical education.  This is precisely the type of crap that one might expect to find in a Moscow, ID Logos school, with the caveat that at a Logos school, students would be writing about the "benefits of slavery" with no negative aspects considered.

Positive aspects of kidnapping people from their homes and loved ones. Positive aspects of putting children in chains and taking them from their parents. Positive aspects of working people till they drop dead. Positive aspects of trying to destroy entire cultures. 

Is it just this one teacher or the school's curriculum at Nathan Bedford Forrest charter school?
