~U.S. Border Patrol Uses Tear Gas to Disperse Migrant Caravan~
I can’t believe this is happening … my heart brakes at the sight of people in need treated like animals and, yes, ‘vermin‘ … by the mighty, imperialistic US of A!
The strong, the mighty, the proud.
These are the people that the mighty need to fear and fend off?
A supposedly ‘Christian nation‘ who welcomed immigrants.
I so hate the face that America is showing to the world … guess the mask fell off!!

US Border Patrol agents used tear gas to disperse hundreds of Central American migrants in the Mexican city of Tijuana who made a rush for the border fence, as tension builds over the diminishing prospects for asylum seekers trying to enter the country.

Kavanaugh Is Sworn In After Close Confirmation Vote in Senate
Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Saturday, October 6, by one of the slimmest margins in American history, locking in a solid conservative majority on the court and capping a rancorous battle that began as a debate over judicial ideology and concluded with a national reckoning over sexual misconduct.
CNN’s Brooke Baldwin says the scene at Drumpf’s rally during which he mocked Brett Kavanaugh accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was “absent of soul.”
The little boy on the left of Drumpf, expressionless … on the same day the ‘so-called president’ said that young men should be scared in America.
~The Most Striking Thing About Trump’s Mockery of Christine Blasey Ford~
The president’s jokes at the expense of the woman who told her story of sexual assault are yet another reminder:
Laughter is a luxury. And, often, a weapon.
At a rally in Mississippi, Drumpf did what Drumpf is so often apt to do:
He dispensed with the former niceties. The Drumpf of last week had been, in public settings, generally respectful of Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who had come forward to allege that the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when she was 15. The Drumpf of this week, however, reverted to the mode that is his most common and, it would seem, his most comfortable: mockery.
To me, the most naked, not surprising reaction was his supporters’ response!
The crowd at the rally guffawed. They cheered. They broke out into applause. The president, thus galvanized, thus supported, thus loved, continued his one-man interrogation:
“What neighborhood was it in? I don’t know. Where’s the house? I don’t know. Upstairs, downstairs, where was it? I don’t know. But I had one beer. That’s the only thing I remember.”
She is coming back after her pregnancy, post a life-threatening complication after developing a pulmonary embolism, a controversy about her compression ‘catsuit’ (custom-made by Nike), her decision to wear a tutu and the high stakes of the event.
To add insult to injury, she was fined $17,000.
And then, Mark Knight, Australian cartoonist, decided to rub salt in the wound!
The 2018 US Open final between Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka will be remembered for all the wrong reasons
The match was guaranteed to make history no matter what.
Williams was gunning for her 24th Grand Slam tournament win, a number that would have tied the all-time record for the most Grand Slam singles tournament wins in history.
And Osaka was hoping to be the first Haitian-Japanese player in history to win a Grand Slam.
In the end, Osaka defeated Williams 6-2, 6-4, ensuring the latter – but her achievement was overshadowed by what happened in the match.
Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.
Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.”

In all its shrieking and flailing glory, Rudy Giuliani’s speech at the Republican National Convention was one of the most deranged moments of the night.
Parkland student Sarah Chadwick creates a fearless parody mocking the threatening NRA ad
~The NRA made its ad … now this Parkland student is returning the favor~
This past week, NRA’s spokesmodel Dana Loesch put out a threatening video ad against pretty much anyone who wasn’t supportive of the National Rifle Association – and Trumpism. In response, Parkland student Sarah Chadwick created a word-for-word parody of Loesh’s ad.
Chadwick is one of the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that left 17 students and staff dead – gunned down and murdered by a student with an AR-15 automatic weapon of war.
In a thinly veiled threat packaged as an advertisement for her new show on NRA TV, NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch called out various groups the NRA regularly targets warning their “time is running out.”
Featuring foreboding music, black background and costume, and an hourglass, Loesch issued what can only be described as a vague threat to take action against what the embattled gun lobbying organization views as its ever-growing list of enemies.
To the Joy-Ann Reids, the Morning Joes, the Mikas.
To those who stain honest reporting with partisanship. To those who bring bias and propaganda to CNN, The Washington Post and The New York Time … your time is running out.
