DAILYKENN.com—31 years ago Billy Graham preached to 60,000 at Anaheim Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
Today Angel Stadium in Los Angeles was the site of thousands of Muslims who gathered to celebrate Eid al-Adha (the “Sacrifice Feast”) on Monday.
Such was unheard of a generation ago.
It’s an indication of the intentional destruction of Western culture. The globalist left is leveraging Islam to destabilize, displace, and then destroy Western civilization.
White people who oppose their own destruction are stigmatized with hateful labels such as ‘racist’ and ‘Islamophobe.’

Since 9-11-2001 there have been 29,222 documented terrorist attacks committed by Muslims; about three per day. Few of these attacks are reported by the mainstream national media
Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department-Major Crimes Division have arrested Kwasi Sadler, age 23, of the 5000 block of Sheriff Road Northeast in Washington, D.C., for the homicide of 72-year-old Linda Cheryl Johnston that occurred in her Arcola Avenue home and that was discovered on August 3. Sadler, who was arrested yesterday afternoon on the strength of a Montgomery County warrant, has been charged with first-degree murder. Investigation revealed that a tenant who was living in the victim’s home and who moved out of the home on July 30 was an acquaintance of Sadler
n August 3 at approximately 4:19 p.m., officers from the 4th District responded to a residence in the 2700 block of Arcola Avenue in Wheaton to check the welfare of the victim; a family member had not been able to make contact with the victim via phone and became concerned. First responders entered the residence and located the deceased victim in a bedroom. Detectives noted that there appeared to be forced entry into the home via a basement door and that there appeared to have been a struggle. Investigators determined that the victim’s purse, wallet, car keys, and car (a gold 2007 Toyota Prius) were missing and were presumed to have been stolen.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore ruled the manner of death as a homicide by suspected stabbing.
Investigators believe that the homicide occurred in the morning hours of August 1. One neighbor saw the victim on July 31. Another neighbor saw an unknown black male outside of the victim’s home at approximately 6:30 a.m. on August 1.
During the investigation, detectives determined that the victim’s debit card had been stolen and beginning on August 1, had been used to make small-dollar amount purchases at six stores that were located in Laurel, Washington, D.C., and Montgomery County. Investigators also determined that after the homicide had occurred, a person had called the victim’s bank and attempted to change the victim’s personal identification number (PIN) for her debit card. The phone number associated with the call to the bank belonged to Sadler.
Video surveillance from stores captured Sadler using the victim’s stolen debit card to purchase items. One such video from August 1 revealed that Sadler’s arm and hand appeared to be bandaged, possibly indicating that he had been injured during a sharp force injury assault. Another video shows Sadler exiting a store after fraudulently using the victim’s card and entering a vehicle that appeared to be a gold Toyota Prius (the make and model of car stolen from the victim’s home).
On August 8, an arrest warrant was issued for Sadler, charging him with first-degree murder. He was arrested on August 9 by Montgomery County police officers in Rockville. During police questioning, Sadler made admissions to killing the victim. He also provided detectives with the general location of the victim’s stolen vehicle. Investigators located the victim’s unoccupied and parked vehicle in the area of Layhill Road and Glenallan Avenue in Wheaton.

DAILYKENN.com—Contrary to the theory of cultural relevance — the false notion that all cultures are innately the same — violence is a universal reality in black population centers.
Black violence is the norm rather than the exception.
Due to the advent of the Internet, ‘citizen journalists’ often capture a tiny insight of the violence on their video devices, then upload them to the Internet for all to see.
Why do we publish this rubbish?
Simple: To expose minds to reality.
Reality is the antidote that destroys the cultural Marxism virus. Our minds are infected with cultural Marxism bacterial virus when we expose ourselves to cinematic productions and view television. Those images are produced in Hollywood sound stages with the intent of infecting our minds with a false reality.
By exposing our minds to genuine reality, the truth becomes the antibiotic vaccine that kills the cultural Marxism bacteria.

Mnneapolis-St. Paul Airport
TNO, “Somalis Given “Airport Security Tour”, 4 2016:
The Obama administration gave Somali Muslims “behind-the-scenes” tours at a major U.S. airport after the group complained to Homeland Security about feeling harassed and profiled, after a report showed that Minnesota “leads the nation” in the number of U.S. nationals joining ISIS.
According to the Judicial Watch website, the special security tours are not offered to any other group, and occurred at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after Department of Homeland Security (DHS) roundtable meetings with local Somali leaders to obtain feedback for “modifications to practices that would allow for operations to be more culturally sensitive.”
Forward, “5 Reasons Tim Kaine Will Be the Jewiest Vice President Pick for Hillary Clinton,” 22 July 2016:
Tim Kaine is Hillary Clinton’s pick for Vice President, somewhat to the chagrin of the Democratic Party’s left wing and the — somewhat premature — excitement of Wikipedia. He has one of the longest records of service in politics among the people on Clinton’s shortlist, going back to his 1997 election as the mayor of Richmond, Virginia.
Kaine has also been a friend to the Jewish community for about as long as he’s been in public service. During his various campaigns, Kaine has repeatedly reached out to the Jewish community, conducted interviews with Jewish leaders and spoken about America’s relationship with Israel.
“He made himself very available to the Jewish community,” said Ron Halber, the executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington. “He took the Jewish community very seriously as a constituency,” even though it only represented a small portion of the Virginia electorate.
But Kaine is connected to the Jewish community in several other ways, as well. Here are five facts about Tim Kaine’s relationship to Judaism and Israel.
1. He supports a two-state solution even when others don’t.
Kaine is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Middle East, Central Asia and terrorism, and held the chairmanship of the committee for two years. In March, he signed a letter, along with twenty-six other senators, urging President Obama to continue his support for the two-state solution. His predecessor as chairman of the subcommittee on the Middle East and terrorism, Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, didn’t sign the letter.
Kaine’s decision to skip Bibi Netanyahu’s speech in Congress in March 2015 was also widely noticed throughout Washington. It was a clear message: Kaine did not agree with the timing of the talk, and Netanyahu’s perceived political motivations for delivering it before the Israeli elections.
“I’m not dumb, I knew not going to the speech might make some folks mad with me — there would be a political price, but I felt so strongly as a matter of principle that this was done in an entirely inappropriate way,” Kaine told the Forward.
Ron Halber, the executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington, said that it would be “a foolish mistake” to interpret Kaine’s move as being in any way unsupportive of Israel.
“He is keenly aware of the security challenges” in the region, Halber said.
2. He’s a religious Catholic, so he understands the imperatives, and difficulties, of observance.
Kaine is a dedicated, practicing Catholic who represents the Democratic party at the Senate’s weekly prayer breakfast on Wednesdays. He is also a member of a “reflection group,” along with six other senators, that holds faith-centered discussions. Though he does not personally agree with abortion, he sees a woman’s right to make decisions about her body as an important right, and does not support anti-abortion legislation. As a Catholic he’s used to being viewed as an outsider by white Protestants.
When Kaine found himself living in D.C., away from his wife, he decided to write a bible commentary on weeknights.
“He could’ve chosen to find other ways to address his loneliness that were either chemical or social in nature,” said Rabbi Jack Moline, the executive director of the Interfaith Alliance. “But he spotted the opportunity for deeper social reflection into a piece of scripture that particularly spoke to him.”
3. He brought hummus to Virginia.
During his time as the governor of Virginia, Sabra built the what is reportedly the world’s largest hummus factory outside Richmond, capable of producing 8,000 tons of hummus a month. Kaine was apparently directly involved.
“He’s the man who brought Sabra hummus to Virginia,” said Rabbi Jack Moline, the Executive Director of Interfaith Alliance. According to Moline, Kaine “wooed” the company to set up shop in his state.
Kaine authorized $350,000 from the Governor’s Opportunity Fund to help bring the project to fruition, beating out two other states for the privilege of being at the heart of American hummus production.
4. He’s hosted a Passover Seder — multiple times.
In 2006, during his first year as governor of Virginia, he hosted the first ever Passover Seder in the governor’s mansion. He is apparently part of a group of friends that rotates hosting the Seder each year, and that year it happened to be his turn. It also wasn’t his first time hosting — his home had been a slot in the rotating group for several years before his election.
5. He played “Yente,” matchmaking for Rabbi Jack Moline’s daughter.
Moline’s daughter and son-in-law met while working on Kaine’s campaign for governor of Virginia in 2005.
“If he hadn’t run for governor, I wouldn’t be a grandfather,” said Moline.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton announced her vice-presidential running mate by text to supporters today. She will unveil U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, formally tomorrow.
Virginia’s Kaine is a centrist pro-Israel choice who should please moderate Jewish voters as Hillary’s No. 2.
“He’s not going to appeal to the Bernie Sanders voters. He’s a centrist,” Ron Halber, executive director of the Greater Washington JCRC, told the Forward. Halber has forged a relationship with Kaine both as governor and as senator.
Kaine might offer some ammunition to Israel hawks as an early endorser of the Iranian nuclear deal, and like her he chose to skip Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress.
5 Questions for Tim Kaine on Israel
But as a middle-of-the-road-Democrat and a co-sponsor of Iran-related legislation, Kaine made choices that, when it came to the nuclear deal, drew attention in the pro-Israel community.
“I’m not dumb, I knew not going to the speech might make some folks mad with me — there would be a political price,” Kaine told the Forward shortly after. “But I felt so strongly as a matter of principle that this was done in an entirely inappropriate way.”
Kaine, who has also served as head of the Democratic National Committee, has visited Israel several times and has supported the funding of Iron Dome systems and the U.S.-Israel Strategic Partnership Act. Halber noted that he was a “very good friend” of the U.S.-Israel partnership, but he added that if chosen as vice president, he may want to see movement on the Israeli-Palestinian issue. “His social background and his sympathy to the oppressed will likely make him want to see a solution,” he said, “but he will also support defending Israel in the U.N. and expanding the relationship.”
Kaine is a member of a small group of senators who participate in a biweekly reflection group organized by the Faith and Politics Institute.
“I had many, many personal deep conversations with him, and he is genuinely a friend of Israel,” said Rabbi Jack Moline, one of the group’s moderators. Moline believes that much of Kaine’s worldview was shaped during his work as a Jesuit missionary in Honduras. “It had an immense influence on his understanding of the need to make the world a better place.”
In Virginia, Kaine hosted the first Passover Seder in the governor’s mansion.
Before entering the U.S. Senate the well-liked Kaine had been the mayor of Richmond, governor of Virginia and chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Kaine, 58, is a fluent Spanish speaker after serving as a missionary in Honduras, and his presence on the ticket could help Clinton in Virginia, a heavily contested swing state.
Another senator, Cory Booker of New Jersey, along with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack were among the final contenders.
The announcement had been expected. The Wall Street Journal, citing Democrats familiar with the search, had said she was likely to make the announcement on Friday and Kaine was believed to be the pick.
Clinton, a former secretary of state, will be formally nominated as the party’s presidential candidate at next week’s Democratic convention in Philadelphia. Her choice of Kaine as running mate could provide an early signal about her plan of battle against Trump.
Picking Kaine, a veteran mainstay of the Democratic establishment with plenty of governing experience, emphasizes her message that Democrats will offer a serious, steady alternative to the unpredictable Trump after the chaotic Republican convention that closed on Thursday.
Booker, a charismatic rising star in the party, would have given her candidacy a jolt of energy as Clinton enters the three-month grind of the general election. Booker, 47, would have been the first black vice president and his help might still be vital to boost turnout among young and African-American voters.
Other potential contenders on Clinton’s short list included U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, a liberal favorite, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and Hispanic Cabinet members Julian Castro and Thomas Perez.—With Reuters
