They ignored the warning signs. Back in 2015 Oberlin was rocked by a debate over whether serving banh mi and sushi was cultural appropriation.

Dutch : What is it? Billy? What the hell is wrong with you?

Billy : There's something in those trees

Dutch : It's just heirloom tomatoes and gluten free bread. What's wrong with you?
Like this for example. Nothing in itself. But it's a sure sign there'll be sappers in the wire before long.

It may be important to point out that, outside of war, the largest numbers of since incident victims are the result of trust system murders. Doctors or nurses killing patients or aircrew killing passengers. Jack the Ripper was harmless by scale comparison.
"since" should be "single"
Dr. Harold Shipman 250. Egyptair 217. Germanwings 150. MH370 239, Nurse Niels Hogel 106.

Sadiq: it will take 10 years to solve knife crime which is a public health issue.

news.sky.com/story/londons-…
Over complicating public policy one issue at a time. Eventually there will be a Ministry of Knife Crime with half a million employees and it will have gone from a previously unheard of problem to insoluble generational conundrum.
The first step in government failure is defining a given problem in terms that actually make it impossible to solve. Simple things are transformed into a complexity class which take exponential time to resolve or even to the point where no one know if the program will even halt.

Like I said. Trump's greatest weapon against Iran is pointing out to the world he may let it close Hormuz.

U.S. President Donald Trump ... has indicated he won't necessarily jump in to protect international oil supplies from the Middle East if they are under threat from the Islamic Republic.
The position, articulated by Trump in an interview with Time magazine on June 17, should not come as a surprise ... As Trump spelt out in the interview, the U.S. is no longer as dependent on oil from the Middle East as it was, thanks to burgeoning domestic production.

Over the past few weeks, we've seen a huge amount of hopefulness about 2020 from folks who identify as the "religious left," and nobody has inspired that more than Pete Buttigieg, who argues that Christianity has a progressive-friendly message.

But! 1/x

A few notes for the wave of religious-left enthusiasm. The first is that campaign infrastructure, time, and dollars matter more than rhetoric for getting votes. Where will 2020 Dems put their resources? 2/x

Two: Faith language is often window dressing in politics. That leads to events that look like “Noah’s ark," with "50 religious leaders [talking] about how dang moral the Democrats are versus the Republicans," as @shauncasey57 put it. 3/x

💣Cohen implicates Trump in VIOLATION of campaign finance laws

💣Trump is an unindicted CO-CONSPIRATOR

💣Throws the LEGITIMACY of the election into question.

💣Cohen pleads GUILTY to bank fraud w/ intent!

💣Manafort CONVICTED on 8 fed charges!

🔥Illegitimate2🔥

AS: “Cohen’s guilty plea appears to implicate the President in a knowing violation of campaign finance laws, w/ the payment of hush money to advance the Trump campaign. This is the 1st guilty plea directly alleging potential criminal activity by the President.”
🔥Illegitimate3🔥

The verdict was a victory for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III
🌟🌟🌟

LB: “Russian mob.
Who rolled Genovese/LCN in '90s.
Blood money pushed through Ukraine, laundered by Genovese made-man, Paul Manafort - and old Genovese business front, Trump Org.”

1/Here is an essay by Andrew Sullivan on immigration and diversity that deserves a response: nymag.com/daily/intellig…

Here is the money quote:
2/Sullivan is a thinker whom I believe to have shown consistently bad judgment, from his support of the Iraq War to his hammering on the "race and IQ" stuff.

This essay is another example.
3/Sullivan's argument, which is very similar to what you might see on a Tucker Carlson segment, is that immigration and diversity - foisted on an unwilling populace by liberal elites - have caused too-rapid cultural change.
