Late yesterday, the news became official: NBC, the parent company of MSNBC, announced that it had severed ties with loose cannon Melissa Harris-Perry.
The folks at Grabien write that this “got us thinking: How did she ever get a TV show in the first place? And how did it last this long? Did MSNBC execs even realize it was on the air?”
Those are questions any serious viewer asked himself long ago.
The Grabien writers continue:

Watching the show always felt like accidentally stumbling into a group therapy session in progress. The show’s format involved Harris-Perry gathering a group of like-minded media personalities ostensibly to validate whatever feelings she felt like sharing.
Along the way, Harris-Perry let loose the kind of bizarre antics that would resulted in lesser anchors getting canned. Here are 10 we found particularly noteworthy:

Click here for an annotated video montage of some of Harris-Perry’s more noteworthy contributions to the subjects of race and equality10. When she cut off a guest for praising Paul Ryan's "hard work" as he apparently was unaware "hard work" is a racist phrase.
9. The MSNBC promo in which she argued for state ownership of children.
8. After the George Zimmerman verdict, she said she wished her sons didn't exist (as it's "not safe").
7. The show in which she argued cops are scarier than ISIS or Ebola.
6. After the Baltimore riots, she made the case that "arson and looting" are not violent acts.
5. When Mark Cuban said he walks away from people on the street who appear menacing, Harris-Perry used that as a news peg to compare the NBA to slavery.
4. During a segment on 'Star Wars,' she lamented the racist undertones of the entire series.
3. After President Obama announced "normalization" with Cuba, Harris-Perry worried Cuba might be ruined ... by American tourists.
2. After a Muslim Oklahoma man attacked his colleagues and beheaded his boss, Harris-Perry said it was a case of "workplace violence."
1. And the moment that will cement her legacy in the basement of MSNBC's ratings cellar: After Rep. Wendy Davis filibustered proposed regulations on abortion providers in Texas, Harris-Perry showed her solidarity by ... wearing tampons as earrings. (It's a long story.)

'Muscle' Prof Blames Everyone But Herself for Her Own Actions

"I don’t want to live in a world where citizens are too afraid of public scorn to take a chance."

Fired University of Missouri assistant professor of mass media Melissa Click is blaming everyone but herself for actions she took last year during Black Lives Matter protests on campus. During the tense flare-ups at Mizzou, Click was filmed cursing at cops and calling for "muscle" to help her eject a student journalist engaging in his right to free press at a public event. For that, she was charged with third-degree assault.
But none of this was her fault, you see. It was all that pesky technology that captured her moment of weakness and a host of overly sensitive university administration that led to all of her troubles. At least, that's what the complaint is in an op-ed she penned for The Washington Post.
Click begins explaining that moments before she joined in with a group of black students blocking the Mizzou homecoming parade route and defiantly refusing the police officers' orders to move back, she was rushing out the door from a stressful morning with her family getting ready for this "much-anticipated event."
Before deciding to join in on the protests her family was witnessing, Click said she found herself faced with a question she hadn't anticipated that morning: "Would I remain a spectator, or would I stand with these students enduring disparagement from the bystanders who wished the parade to continue unhindered?"
She then blamed what the smartphone cameras captured -- her cursing at cops and a month later, calling for "muscle" -- as her own "inexperience with public protests." (Reminder: she was a professor of media and held a courtesy post in UM's School of Journalism at the time.) The videos, she claims, didn't capture her true intentions of helping to "make MU a more inclusive environment:"

Among the debates and judgments the video footage of my mistakes has attracted, few have sincerely grappled with the sudden choices I had to make in challenging circumstances, and fewer still have earnestly asked whether my protected right to speak out as a US citizen requires that I must be perfect while doing so.

Technology is the real enemy, according to the former professor:

As a Media Studies scholar, I understand how the increased surveillance resulting from advances in technology like digital recording and wireless broadband has come to mean that our mistakes will be widely broadcast — typically without context or rights of rebuttal — exposing us to unprecedented public scrutiny.
But I do not understand the widespread impulse to shame those whose best intentions unfortunately result in imperfect actions. What would our world be like if no one ever took a chance? What if everyone played it safe?

Click continues lamenting the fact that sources like YouTube and Twitter are forums to judge people, like herself, in the public sphere. It's these "earnest mistakes made by ordinary, unknown people" that are now being broadcast on the web in a way "typically reserved for politicians and celebrities." You mean people, not unlike yourself, that are in positions of leadership? Got it.
But it's not just technology that is to blame, but also the university's Board of Curators who failed to properly evaluate Click's conduct. She strongly suggests that the standards of excellence that all professor's must abide by while in a teaching position at the school is not the same thing as acting perfectly while on campus. She believes the board made a rash decision in terminating her without looking at her career as a whole:

[T]he Curators’ actions — and the nationwide public outcry over these few recorded moments of my actions — wholly disregard the overwhelming evidence of my outstanding contributions to MU: student evaluations, teaching awards, research and publications, service to professional organizations, and a solid case for tenure.
While I continue to fight the MU Board of Curators’ decision to terminate my employment without due process and in violation of university policy, I am also working to come to terms with how a few captured moments of imperfection could eclipse 12 years of excellence.

And lastly, Click circles the wagons once more to further drive home her point that technology is the real culprit in all of this. Yet, it's that same technology that her beloved Black Lives Matter movement have used to further its cause. A double-edged sword, no?
Click concludes:

But beyond my specific circumstances, I believe this situation raises broader cultural, ethical, and legal questions about how surveillance and social media significantly impact the terrain of public engagement.
Whose interests are served when our drive to combat societal imperfections is defeated by fears of having our individual imperfections exposed?
And what value do our rights as citizens have in a culture increasingly ruled by snap judgments and by regulations that are easily rewritten to suit changing political interests?
We should all be concerned about the larger issues my situation raises.
I don’t want to live in a world where citizens are too afraid of public scorn to take a chance. Do you?

The final word goes to Consco65, a commenter on the WaPo op-ed: "You make a valid point, Professor. We all have 'imperfect' moments. But we all also have to live with the consequences of those moments."
Well said.

Black Nebraska Senator: I’d ‘Mow Everybody Down’ If I Were White

25 Mar, 201625 Mar, 2016On March 23 Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers (I-Dist. 11) said he would grab “a semiautomatic weapon” and “mow everybody down” if he were a white guy.

Chambers is black.
According to the Lincoln Journal Star, Chambers made the statement because he was “frustrated” with the political “debate on a measure to prohibit job discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.”
He viewed much of the debate from an office outside the Senate chamber, then said, “If I was up here I’d probably pick these books up and start throwing them around. If I was a white guy, I’d go get my semiautomatic weapon and come down here and mow everybody down.”
Afterward, Chambers stood his ground amid backlash from Senate colleagues and other office holders who thought his words went a step too far. He indicated that people should be glad that he was only talking, rather than following through with actions.
Chambers said, “Be glad when the snake rattles, my words are all that I’m using.”

America's Dumbest Congresswoman Weighs in on Apple Encryption Debate


March 31, 2016
Daniel Greenfield













I have been reluctant to comment on the FBI-Apple encryption debate until the experts had weighed in. The weeks passed and still the wisest human being in Congress still hadn't made her views clear.
I am referring of course to Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, a national treasure who somehow found her way out of Cuba despite being left there tied to a tree.
Sheila Jackson Lee thinks there are two Vietnams and that the US landed on Mars. Also she complained that hurricane names were racist.

In 2003, Sheila Jackson-Lee complained that hurricane names were too "lilly white" and said that "All racial groups should be represented." She suggested Hurricanes “Keisha, Jamal and Deshawn".

But when she isn't demanding more diversity in hurricane names, Sheila Jackson Lee is the top Democrat on the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security and Investigations. And so she finally weighed in on the debate over Apple's encryption.

These are “voices who typically look to the Constitution for privilege, permission and for protection,” or “the three p’s,” said Jackson Lee, who has worked on cybersecurity legislation and is the top Democrat on the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security and Investigations.

I think we all now know exactly what to think about this subject:
America has entered a Iditocracy

Hey Lenno. Look out the window. Do you see a terrifying large amount of matter streaming past you into a black hole? You must, because if you are posting articles about events that happened 8 years ago as fresh news, then I can only surmise that you live next to the event horizon of a massive black hole. Is that it? Are you in an Einsteinian temporal decelleration due to a high gravitational pull?

What's it like, being outside of Newton's clockwork? Do beers stay colder longer? Does daylight savings time still happen?

Norway: Leftist feels guilty that Muslim who raped him was deported

April 8, 20161:02 pm By Robert Spencer 60 Comments
Stockholm Syndrome. Here is a portrait of a man who is committed to civilizational suicide.

“After Anal Rape, Left Wing Activist Felt ‘Guilt And Responsibility’ His Migrant Attacker Was Deported,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, April 7, 2016:

A left wing activist has bared all to a Norwegian documentary crew about his rape at the hands of a Somalian migrant, and his despair at seeing the man deported.
An active member of the Norwegian Socialist Left Party (SV) who described himself as an ardent “feminist and anti-racist” explained the difficulty he experienced accepting that he had been anally raped by a male migrant. He said he didn’t blame the man for the attack, and regretted the fact he had been sent back to Somalia.
Describing the process of reconciling his personally held beliefs, young SV activist Karsten Nordal Hauken said the experience left him “feeling nothing”, reports Norwegian state broadcaster NRK.
Attacked as a young man, his rapist was convicted six months after the fact with DNA evidence removed from Mr. Hauken’s body at the time of his rape, and fingerprints taken from his bedroom. The Somalian male was later caught when he was found to be carrying a knife in public and his fingerprints were a match.
Although he protested his innocence and claimed he had been enjoying a consensual relationship with Mr. Hauken, the migrant was sentenced to four and a half years in prison. After the completion of his jail term, the man was deported back to Somalia, something which his victim greeted with mixed emotions.
Speaking to NRK ahead of a new documentary series about young people in Norway dealing with mental illness, Mr. Hauken said of the moment when he was told by telephone at work that his attacker was to be deported: “I was a bit taken by surprise by this message.
“But I remained calm enough to tell the manager that I had to go. The tears, they came the moment I sat in the car. I felt a relief and joy that he was going away forever. I felt that the Norwegian government took on the responsibility to exercise the ultimate revenge, like an angry father who confronts a child abuser.
“But I also got a strong sense of guilt and responsibility. I was the reason why he should not have to leave Norway, and heading for a very uncertain future in Somalia. He had already served his sentence in prison. Should he now be punished again? And this time much harder?”
Mr. Hauken found himself unable to blame his attacker, saying “he is not responsible for his actions”. Rather than the rapist being in charge of his own destiny, he said he was merely “a product of an unjust world. A product of an upbringing marked by war and deprivation”, and said that rather than the attack being sexually motivated, it was all about “exerting power” over him.
The attack had not in any way dulled his left-wing politics, either. Mr. Hauken said: “I stand rock solid in my opinion that people like him need our help. I want us to continue to help refugees with such a background… For I am a human being first, and not a Norwegian. No, I’m part of the world, and the world is unfortunately unfair”….
