The thing between magas and Mexican immigrants is not new in America.
I remember in the days of the tea party they were talking about exactly the same things and also in the late seventies, when it was Reagan v. Carter.
In Europe the situation with immigrants from the middle East is relatively new, but not in America.
For America much bigger problem is the guns-bazookas-light artillery with which they kill one another but Trump through a clever manipulation managed to raise racial tensions to unprecedented heights.
He did this in 2016 but also now.
In the UK in the seventies Margaret Thatcher was doing the same thing. She had disowned Enoch Powell who was way too extremist but she was doing the same thing.
In those days the UK immigrant population were seldom and almost never appearing in police reports. The only exception was the -yearly- riot in Portobello road, every August. But that was politically instigated by
some anarchist-communist groups.
Despite the situation being calm, Maggie T. staged a mini-Trump performance and in the end won the elections with the help of Saatchi and Saatchi.
Trump has magnified this twenty fold - as he even talks about surrendering Europe to Putin 
Yet as things stand he seems to be the favourite for November.

He stands next to no chance of winning in November.

Trump says US will see ‘bloodbath’ if he’s not re-elected and rages at teleprompter in wild Ohio rally

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-news-2024-rally-ohio-b2513829.html

Former President Donald J Trump is appearing as a special guest speaker at a Buckeye Values PAC Rally in Dayton, Ohio one day after his criminal trial was delayed.

Mr Trump is in the state to help boost the campaign of Bernie Moreno, a car dealership owner who has his backing in the state’s US Senate primary coming this Tuesday. The former president is wading into an abnormally vicious GOP primary that appears to be neck-and-neck between three candidates, with Mr Moreno holding a slight lead.

The race turned especially ugly over the past week as supporters of Mr Moreno’s rivals circulated a story from the Associated Press revealing that an email used by the businessman was registered on the sexual rendezvous site “Adult Friend Finder”; not to be outdone, Mr Moreno’s allies launched a mailer accusing another Republican in the race, conservative Frank LaRose, of being a closet ally of the LGBT+ community.

Additionally, it was a busy week for Donald Trump’s criminal cases.

Judge Juan Merchan has ruled that his New York hush-money trial will be pushed back by 30 days from today following a dump of new evidence for both parties to consider — the original start date was 25 March.

THE INFORMATION AGE AND MODERN GOVERNMENT
-------------------------------------------------------------
The beginning of the information age in the eighties was strange.
We, common folks, had access to various simple machines such as Commodore, Pet, Oric, Lynx ... and could do various computer jobs.
But the state had nothing !
I used to go to places such as the tax authority offices and the post office and they were usings scraps of paper or little notebooks - like the little gift notebooks from the pharmacy shops.
I used to say to them "hey, you dummies what are you doing here ? buy an Oric Atmos" and they were looking at me quite perplexed.
At the same time in the Soviet Union and satelittes they did n't like this at all. How we managed to lag 50 years behind the west they were saying.
That was some 5-6 years before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

But the Soviet communist faithfuls were saying "don't worry - the state will own the new technology sooner or later".
Their prediction was wrong and correct at the same time.
Soviet Union was into a downward spiral from which they never emerged, but the state as such regained the initiative, eventually.

Nowadays we are all into big brother's eyesights.
If we bought a sack of potatoes without a tax receipt we are caught and fined 5000-10000 for it.
The left wing no brainers applaud - they think big brother is their friend.
Ok, wait and see ...

I had a polyp the size of a tennis ball.
Looked like a big mushroom rather.
They removed after a three and a half hour operation.
But five days later I was hopping about.
It was 26 of April when the op took place. On May the 1st the doctor comes and says "beat it, go home".  Then he returns and says "fiddlesticks - it's bank holiday, we can give no exits" - so I left hospital the 2nd of May.
I had lost weight but I could do what I liked, eat sausages, pizzas ...
Also in the same room at the hospital was an old man with a similar condition and he too walked out in a few days.
So this one with Kate, after a succesful op as they say, is strange.

Why does Putin go for the 87% in the "elections" whereas Stalin favoured the 99.99% ?
Alternatively why did n't Stalin like the 87% but insisted on 99.99% ?

There Goes Trump, Seething At American Jews Again

Trump says if Jews vote for Democrats they hate THEIR RELIGION.

https://www.wonkette.com/p/there-goes-trump-seething-at-american

CONTENT NOTE: If you came here to fight about Israel and Gaza, GTFO. Wait, is that how “content notes” work?

In 2022, Donald Trump Truth-Social-tweeted that “Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel — Before it is too late!” This, just after saying that “our wonderful Evangelicals” are far more appreciative of what he’s done for Israel than those ungrateful Jews.

In 2023, Trump rang in Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, by posting a meme calling American Jews “sheep” and encouraging them to “make better choices going forward.” The meme asked what kind of “Natzi” had done all the things for Israel that Trump had, demonstrating yet again Team Trump’s spelling skills. Of course, Trump’s “accomplishments” that were supposed to impress American Jews were largely a laundry list of things he did in Israel for both Jewish and Christian extremists. (Moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, support for illegal settlements, etc.)

He has referred to Israel as “your country” when referring to American Jews, invoking that age-old antisemitic dual loyalty canard.

In 2019, he said in the Oval Office that “any Jewish people who would vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.”

Which sounds a lot like the wildly antisemitic thing Trump said yesterday on his pet Sebastian Gorka’s radio show. (You know, the guy with all the Hungarian Nazi friends.)

 

 

Gorka fake-innocently asked Trump why Democrats hate Benjamin Netanyahu. (Much like most Israelis hate Netanyahu, even more so after October 7.) He was talking about how a number of prominent Democrats in the US — like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who last week called for new elections in Israel once the war starts winding down, and President Joe Biden, who has signaled support for Schumer since he made those comments — seem to be publicly reaching the end of their ropes with Bibi, who most people agree is authoritarian garbage.

In response, Trump went on one of his verbal benders, which he began by declaring that “I actually think they hate Israel.” After many long babblings, Trump reached his climax: “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion, they hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves!”

Oh, how Trump seethes at American Jews.

Trump further declared that Schumer, the top-ranking Jewish person in all of American government, is “very anti-Israel now,” and that he’s only saying these things because of the people in “those Palestinian marches.”

Trump says and does wildly antisemitic things a lot. This is after all the man who looked America in the face in 2017 and said there were good people “on both sides” of the Charlottesville Nazi march where his supporters screamed, “Jews will not replace us!”

But Trump and his Republican allies largely traffic in a certain kind of antisemitism, the kind reflected in the Trump quotes at the top of this post, the casual kind that’s most popular with white conservative evangelicals, who love Israel much the way Jeffrey Epstein loved America’s youth. Trump and Republican evangelicals, plus ultra-conservative Jewish people like Ben Shapiro who give them cover, love the trope that if you don’t support their extremist counterparts in Israel — AKA Netanyahu, the far-right extremists that have hijacked the Israeli government, extremist settlers — then you are either a Bad Jew, an Ungrateful Jew, or not any kind of real Jew at all.

To be extremely clear, they’re talking about most Jewish Americans, who vote Democratic by super-majorities, 70 percent for Joe Biden in 2020.

They think they get to tell most Jewish Americans that they “hate their religion,” due to their ungrateful lack of support for Trump and Republicans.

So, like clockwork, now that we’ve gotten to the point that Biden and Schumer and other similarly ideologically positioned Democrats are saying out loud that Bibi is a motherfucker, here come the Republicans, picking up with their antisemitism against most American Jews, for not Jewish-ing correctly. Mitch McConnell reared back on his decaying turtle shell to call Schumer’s comments “grotesque.”

Their leader, after all, is this vile bigot who eats dinner with Nazis, who talks like a Nazi, and who keeps talking like a Nazi even when you directly show him that he sounds like Hitler.

Trump’s campaign responded to the latest controversy with a statement from press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who said, “President Trump is right — the Democrat Party has turned into a full-blown anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist cabal.” You know, in case any fence-sitters need a reminder how Trump really feels about things.

Schumer responded to all of this like an adult, obviously. White House spox Andrew Bates told the Washington Post that there’s “no justification for spreading toxic, false stereotypes that threaten fellow citizens. None.” Furthermore:

“Like President Biden said, he was moved to run for President when he saw Neo Nazis chanting ‘the same Antisemitic bile that was heard in Germany in the 1930s’ in Charlottesville,” Bates added. “Leaders have an obligation to call hate what it is and bring Americans together against it.”

We’ll let Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin have the last word: "Luckily I don't know any Jews who look to Donald Trump for advice on how to be Jewish.”

The end.
