Final report released after a two year investigation into Benghazi: http://t.co/1y348SGndy
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A two-year investigation by the Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee has found that the CIA and the military acted properly in responding to the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, and asserted no wrongdoing by Obama administration appointees.
Debunking a series of persistent allegations hinting at dark conspiracies, the investigation of the politically charged incident determined that there was no intelligence failure, no delay in sending a CIA rescue team, no missed opportunity for a military rescue, and no evidence the CIA was covertly shipping arms from Libya to Syria.

I have little tolerance for owners of real property who bitterly lament what "we" did to the First Nations. Apart from people living on the former Yaqui stomping grounds in Northern California, a telephone call to a university department of anthropology will tell you who to make the transfer deed out to.

A bill is being discussed in Utah that would ban negotiations with the Federal government over water for data collection locations. Obviously, the intent is to shut down the NSA's data collection center in that state. It wouldn't do anything until 2021 (when the current water agreement expires), but still...

Based on the article, the Feds got their water by negotiating with one of the local municipalities. The facility apparently requires a lot of water (and according to the article, the Feds are avoiding questions about just how much), and the bill basically says that governmental organizations in the state can't negotiate for the facility. As there's already an agreement in place that lasts until 2021, it wouldn't do anything until then.
I would imagine that most military bases have their own water source arrangements that don't involve a nearby city.

Or should that employer think "What are the statute of limitations on doing this considering Obama's declared non-enforcement of this law does not actually remove the laws I have to follow from the books? Is the cost of hiring this person worth being under-bussed?"

Comrade, you're negating the narrative with facts. Denounce yourself.
For my part, I love earnest liberal teachers who characterize Columbus as being so stupid that he called the natives "Indians" because he thought he'd arrived in India, notwithstanding that at that time the country was called "Hindustan," and no one had ever heard the name "India."
Nevertheless, Columbus was the idiot, the Stone Age natives running around in jock straps were the geniuses. Somehow no ever points out that the dumb ass Columbus successfully crossed the ocean, whereas the brilliant natives had at most toodled around a bit in canoes.

Incas had the llama and the potato; couldn't get across the jungle. Caribs (and Polynesians!) had navigation; couldn't get through tropical doldrums. Maya had the beginnings of hieratic script but couldn't take it far out of the jungle. Aztecs had maize but, again, jungle and no boats.

And it's shock to me to think like that. I grew up really believing in MLK's words about content of character and not color of skin. But then I found that so many minority people don't believe those words. They believe in skin color before character and they, and white liberals, are constantly telling me that being white is something shameful.
And I'm not ashamed of my race. In fact, like PJ O'Rourke, I think Western Civ in general and America in particular, despite some nasty glitches, is really pretty great. In fact, I think it's the best thing going on the planet. All this trying to shame me for what I am is backfiring.
Everyone else gets to be proud of their race but white pride automatically gets equated to some toothless goobers in bedsheets. And yet I wonder if on some level, whites as a whole are getting sick of this indoctrination that they're bad and evil. It really is another case of liberals trying to change human nature, because it isn't natural to think your own people and country suck.

The Vikings were not just fierce raiders whose only thought was rape, slaughter, pillage and burn. They were also sensitive souls who left enduring works of art such as their epic poems recounting how they would brave the harshest seas in their quests to rape, slaughter, pillage and burn.

When I was pressure-washing houses and decks-- a dude came to the door. He spoke no English and called down to his "Tio", (Uncle), that "Blanco", (Whitey) was at the door.
He didn't know that I spoke Spanish and got embarrassed after I told the guy that the electricity in the garage was turned-off.
We needed it to run the power-sprayer for the stain.
As I left, I looked at the dude, laughed and said: "Blanco" ...heh."

Mentioned before, but bears repetition:
One day two foreigners appeared in our midst, recently come from
Italy. Berti and Donnini were a smooth, attractive pair, who called
themselves professors and had become leaders of the Italian Commission.
They immediately started a controversy, about the, work among national
minorities.
Earl Browder at the convention of 1944 had insisted 9n the
elimination of a sense of difference among the foreign-born and had
moved to have them treated as part of the American labor movement. To
this Professors Berti and Donnini offered strenuous objections. They
emphasized the importance of separate national organizations, of
encouraging the foreign-born to use their languages, and of circulating
foreign-language newspapers. They encouraged the organizing of the
different national groups almost as if these were foreign colonies. It
would strengthen the sense of nationalism among them, they asserted, a
necessary thing for the building of world communism.
These two Party functionaries found themselves on the carpet for
their unwelcome views. Plans were on foot to expel them. Then, suddenly,
came the amazing news that they were members of the Italian Communist
Party! Up to this point, like others, I had regarded them as honest but
misguided foreigners with a penchant for disputation.
Now I realized that nothing they said had been unpremeditated,
and that they were not speaking for themselves. They represented the
International Communist movement and it was clear that Browder's
approach to the national problem was in disfavor with some sections of
world communism.

the term "Indian" covered a lot of ground. Plains Indians were as different from New England Indians as Hmong tribesman are from the Irish. Eastern seaboard Indians like Iroquois and Cherokee had complex societies with agriculture, social stratification and large permanent settlements.
On the other hand, plains Indians like Comanches and Apaches were archetypical itinerant savages who lived in small, loosely organized clans living by hunting, gathering, and killing each other for their shit.
The range of their differences makes me laugh at activists who treat them as though they were a single monolithic culture.

It's a stereotype, but true, about Indians (at least some of them) and drink. Some peoples, such as Japanese, differ physiologically in their reaction to alcohol. I lived in Japan briefly, and some Japanese turn an alarming shade of red with their first sniff of a cork. It's amazing.
As for Indians, I'll never forget the scene when two Indians at my high school got a snoot full and went on a rampage. One of them (a friend of mine, with whom I'd played ball, and built like a washing machine) picked up a picnic table in the lunch area and threw it (literally), then proceeded to cold cock several teachers. A bunch of us jocks were just showing up for practice as this happened, and the VP turned to us and said, "Let's get 'em!"
We looked at each other, and said, "Fuck you. Not only are these guys friends of ours, but we've just seen what these guys can do."
They both got kicked out of school, and I never saw them again.

Good point. No muskets then. Scotch is kicking in.
Still, the point remains. Liberals act as though 300 guys could, by themselves conquer an empire of a million people. It's ridiculous. After the first volley, the surviving 999,700 Aztecs would proceed to disembowel the Spaniards.

I believe the song refers to the events surrounding the "Indian Removal Act" passed in 1830. The Cherokees thought it would be simple to get a ruling from the Supreme Court declaring the act illegal, and it was.
The United States Supreme court ruled in favor of the Indians right to remain on their lands. Andrew Jackson, first Democrat President and founder of the Democrat National Committee (DNC) decided to ignore the Supreme Court decision, and ordered the Army to move them anyways.
They moved them to Oklahoma.

While lynching is subversion of the Rule of Law and shouldn't be tolerated, lately I find myself wondering just how many "victims" of lynching were actually murderers, rapists, child molesters and other assorted psychos that the local townsfolk knew were guilty as hell and got exactly what they deserved.
Lynching is wrong if you believe in the Rule of Law, but the conventional wisdom that everybody who was lynched were innocent snowflakes is just as wrong.

So the first Dem president also ignored other branches of government and acted on his own. A precedent was being set here, people.
While injustices committed against the Indians have been exaggerated by the Leftist Grievance Committee (most of the deaths due to disease were not intended - the first Europeans in the New World didn't understand how germs and viruses spread, they hadn't even figured out how the Black Death spread), and while the Native Americans have been romanticized and were not as noble as they are now portrayed -
The Trail of Tears was a f*cking crime and a shame.

The true victims of Jim Crow would be those who weren't lynched - they were murdered. Say that, oh, "Lucius Washington" intends to vote (for the radical Republican); more, he intends to rally a bunch of his friends to vote. The Klan or the White Camelia rides through one night and Washington isn't seen again.
This crime isn't marked as a "lynching" - it's not marked at all; the man's body isn't found.
Lynching is an affront to the rule of law too, of course, but it should be viewed as a side-issue, if we're at all interested in the political history of this time.

Quanah Parker was a halfbreed for instance. So, for a tribe like that, DNA wouldn't be of any use - I mean, you could be descended from an outcast.

My sister (who does all the genealogical stuff) says that both her name and my grandfather's name are on the Dawes rolls, but the trouble is proving that the names listed on the rolls are the same people as my great grandmother and my grandfather.

There are a group of Catholic saints called The North American Martyrs - French missionaries who preached to the Indians in what is now upstate New York. The missionaries were captured by a hostile tribe and slowly tortured to death over a 2 week period. I believe they were hacked to pieces - one day an ear, the next a foot and then finally burned to death...I think someone in their party managed a getaway and made it to a white outpost to tell the story.

That's bad. That's really bad.
Okay, i've got one of those.
One day these two friars showed up in a village and opened up a flower shop. Initially people welcomed them because the flowers were so nice. Then they started importing strange and unusual flowers which frightened the town folk. One of the flowers ate a pet goat.
Eventually the townfolk gathered around to discuss how to make the friars leave. They said "Let's get Hugh! He's the biggest man in the village, and they will certainly leave if he tells them to.
So Hugh told the friars to leave and they did.
The moral of this story is that Hugh and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

It was the way the MSM described what was going on in Israel post 9/11 and how both parties were to blame for all of the bodies piling up at Israeli bus stops and pizza parlors.Right until Israel built a wall and flattened Arafat's compound.

But they used every part of the 12 .
Riiiiiight .
And then there's slash and burn agriculture . Works great if you're a tribal group of 42 individuals on 5,000,000 acres . Everyone else , not so much .

That's right. Whites were lynched too, and that has been airbrushed from history, along with the white Europeans who were kidnapped and enslaved by African Muslims during the Middle Ages.
The most famous white lynching victim was Leo Frank, who was lynched in Georgia in 1915.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Frank
He was a Jew from the North, which makes it problematic. He was accused of murdering a teenage girl. Was he lynched because he was a Jew from the North, or because he was actually guilty? We'll probably never know.
The irony is that there is some reason to believe that she might have actually been murdered by a black man.

Oh that cycle of violence. The one where Palestinians kill Israelis and then the msm begs the Israelis not to continue the cycle of violence.
That's a bit more than a decade old though.

Alcoholism rates were much higher among the Northern Europeans (more hard liquor drinkers) and extremely high among the Indians, who were not exposed to it until the whites arrived and simply were unable to handle it, particularly the rotgut frontier whiskey they were introduced to.
I've heard that AA meetings on reservations are pretty full - but a friend also told me she met quite a few Jews and Italians in AA meetings in Manhattan, so it might be more cultural conditioning than DNA.

Dave Barry had a column in which he described such a place in Canada called Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump. It seems that during one of these drives a young man watched the hunt from the bottom of the cliff.
I suspect he was not missed at all.
(Dave Barry did not make this up - it actually is a place.)

I have seen it. There is a nice museum there now. It is actually a UNESCO World Heritage Site (which fact, and $3 will get you a ride on the Calgary C-train, but mostly the $3).
I live not far from the Dry Island buffalo jump, which was the highest such recognized in Alberta, but much more seldom used. Either the buffalo rarely frequented the area, or perhaps the higher cliff busted them up too badly for the Indians' taste.

Their PR firm failed to erect the "Come to Pottery Barn on Rapa Nui" billboards throughout Polynesia. It's a classic marketing failure case study at Haaaaavaaaaaahd Bidness Skewl.

Sigh. The team name is NOT racist for f*cks sake. It originated from use of body staining substances, not racial skin tone. Linguist researches later on revealed it as a self descriptor by Natives, not an externally applied moniker.

I grew up a Redskins fan PRECISELY because of the name, honoring our place in history.
Should Oklahoma change its name as a state? It means "Land of the Redmen". Racist and misogynist, lol.

I stopped subscribing to The New Yorker years ago, fed up with its politics. And I don't miss it.
However . . . I find the cover funny. If it were a Saturday Night Live sketch (notwithstanding the undoubted left-wing sentiments of the SNL team), I'd probably find it funny as well. It's just a gag.
