Education Publisher Apologizes for Anti-Jewish 9/11 Fact Sheet
Posted On 18 Sep 2017
Last week, educational publisher Newsela provided an up-to-date 9/11 fact sheet for fifth and sixth grade teachers across the country, but the tone and tenor of the article immediately sparked controversy among educators and parents. So much so that the publisher has been forced to issue an apology for the content, which struck many readers as anti-Semitic in its narrative.
The publisher adapted a History.com article to create the fact sheet, which dove into the world-altering September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. That part of the sheet was relatively uncontroversial. It was in the publisher’s quest to define the reasons for the attack that Newsela courted trouble.
In one part of the article, the publication said that the terrorists had ample reason to launch the attack. “They were angry that the U.S. gave money to the country of Israel, an area with a long and shady history in the Middle East.”
It should come as no surprise to see that some people took exception to Newsela’s description of Israel’s history as “shady.”
In another part, the publication said that Bin Laden “thought the United States was too involved in the Middle East. The United States also gave money to Israel. It is a Jewish country in the Middle East. Many Muslims live there. Before Israel was Jewish, the land belonged to Muslims. Bin Laden believed that Jews should leave the land.”
History tells us that Israel’s land most certainly did not “belong to Muslims” prior to the creation of the modern-day state. It was under British rule. Before that, it was part of the Ottoman Empire.
While the Newsela publication was supposedly based on a History.com piece, the original website did not make any allusions to Muslim occupation of Israeli land and it certainly did not point out Israel’s “shady” history.
In an apologetic statement, Newsela said it had used “insensitive and problematic language” in the original piece and the offensive material had been edited to reflect a less judgmental tone.
“We are dedicated to keeping bias and misinformation out of our content,” read the statement. “As a result of this incident we are implementing new review procedures to ensure we have more checks in place for bias for controversial topics. We apologize for this oversight and as a company our intention is to remain as objective as possible.”
Meanwhile their true beliefs are the newsletter. I’m surprised that there was no (false) information that no Jews showed up for work on 9/11.
Looks like the education publishers of today have joined in on the Obama hate everything American train.
Yeah, even “My Weekly Reader”, now known as “Scholastic Magazine”, missed the boat for only the second time in their history, when the Soros/Clinton/0webama gang hijacked the online vote for the winner in November.
An apology is NOT good enough. They’ve been caught trying to rewrite history. Their publication is irreparably flawed. There should be legal action causing them to take all necessary steps to recall those publications.
In addition, they MUST issue warnings to all educational systems that their publication is irreparably flawed and that it MUST NOT be used, but returned at the publisher’s expense.
There is no wiggle room here. A clear message must be sent for any and all “social engineers” who seek to alter history.
You need to KNOW history before you can alter it. What’s so terrible about saying Israel has a ‘shady’ history? THEY DO! Where there not several Middle Eastern men caught celebrating on a rooftop in New Jersey on 9-11? They happened to be from Israel. We caught them… quietly shipped them back to Israil… and then they were interviewed on Israeli TV, saying they were only there to observe (record?) the event. That of course, admits prior knowledge. This is ‘an ally’…? who did NOTHING to help prevent the tragedy. Do you find anything ‘shady’ about that? Search: “israeli spies caught celebrating 9-11” Here’s just one, from FOX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS89vNH-eeY
Bdog, did it EVER occur to you that there are “shady” people LIVING in ALL countries?? It DOES NOT mean that those who “celebrated” the 9/11 devastating event were Israelites! Your comments PROVE that you ARE, like SO MANY OTHER AMERICANS, are ANTI-SEMITIC. And by the way, you’re probably young enough (and indoctrinated by enough Leftists) to have learned rewritten “facts” about our history. And if you’re older, I’ve NO doubt you were raised in a paranoid, Anti-Semitic household. You are Also too Lazy to learn the TRUTH, and to close your mind enough to believe what’s been Spewed at you by Ignorant Haters.
YOUR COMMENTS… are absurd on their face. The young men who were caught WERE Israelis with Mossad connections. THERE IS NO DISPUTE about that. There are multiple and diverse sources that verify that statement… BECAUSE i DID DO MY HOMEWORK! LOOK IT UP. DO YOUR WORK! I am an “Independent”, indifferent to either party. THE ONLY THING I CARE ABOUT IS THE TRUTH! So, I’m not interested in comments from some lazy, brain-dead fool who thinks they can SCHOOL ME about anything! I said NOTHING anti-sematic, because I AM NOT… so your awkward leap to that conclusion simply reveals your inherent biases… whatever they may be. Your comments reveal loud and clear, your own meteoric level of ignorance, so don’t bother me with your indolent foolishness. I’ll take ‘My Club” of ‘Truth-Seeking’… any day over yours.
Wow. You know, our history books are getting more and more tainted by untruths and by the deletion of important facts. Those of us who lived through so many of these situations of history, KNOW the truth, but what about our grand-kids and great-grand-kids? Everything is getting so twisted that THEY will never know for SURE what the truth is. The best we can do today, is to live out Christ’s principles and BECOME the new history. We need to keep goodness and love, forgiveness, and gentleness…all those characteristics, ALIVE for the coming generations, by how we act NOW. WE must pass the baton.
It would ALSO greatly help if WE keep journals (and videos) of the things we witness, because there’s way to much Fake News, and fake textbooks nowadays.
Probably some more of this gradual infiltration of everything American by Muslims and or Russian plants from the 40’s and 50’s…Hello George Soros and CAIR!!!
It would be good if old George would finally drop dead. He would do everyone a big favor.
Even an carefully worded apology (to ensure the bias is still very obvious) does not change a bigoted idiot individual or organization that employs such a person.
The muslim enemy is now writing our textbooks.

” Before Israel was Jewish, the land belonged to Muslims. Bin Laden believed that Jews should leave the land.”
“The Publisher states “They were angry that the U.S. gave money to the country of Israel, an area with a long and shady history in the Middle East.”
* My first quote shows the Publisher believes that once Moslems conquer a land, that it should be Moslem land forever. This is true. In Islam, once land is conquered in Jihad, it is Islamic holy ground forever. The term “Occupied Territory” is often tossed around and it aimed at Israel. However, the Iberian Peninsula, 1/3 of France, The Balkan Peninsula, and much more are also “Occupied Territory”. Religions do not control land.
The Publisher also stated that *the country of Israel, an area with a LONG and shady history in the Middle East.” Here the Publisher admits that Israel (every place else, he uses Jewish to describe that area.has a LONG history in the area.
The land never belonged to muslims. You prove your youth, indoctrination and ignorance. Keep on the same track and that will give way to treachery, Democrat.
You need to smarten up and understand what I wrote. The ignorance is all yours.
I pointed out the fallacies in the article. In my opinion, Moslems are only good for target practice.
Well, alrighty then. LOL
My points were:
1. Israel has a Long History in the Middle East. [ The publisher acknowledged that, a claim which the Jew hater’s deny. ]
2. The Publisher refers to the area as Moslem land. [ Moslems believe that once they conquer land in a Holy War, the land is theirs forever, it is still theirs even though they do not control that land as Spain, Greece and many other countries. Land belongs to countries, not religions.] Those calling themselves Palestinians were not invented until 1967; and have no claim on the land.
I use the term Moslem instead of the preferred Muslim because it pisses them off.
What the heck? Forget about HS and college. The indoctrination process begins in kindergarten.
By HS, many are convinced the Earth is going to burn to a crisp due to carbon emissions. By
college, they’re screaming “Death to America/Death to Israel!” It is critical for parents to be deeply
involved in their children’s education. To turn it all over to “teacher knows best” is a recipe for
the disaster known as today’s college campus.
Hillsdale College?
I’m sure there are a few fine establishments of higher education like Hillsdale, but they are too few and too far between.
But, Hillsdale is considered by some (the left) to just be the right-wing neo-con ‘indoctrination’ version, because Rush is always promoting it. I don’t know if there’s a lot of Hillsdale Colleges out there. I know the Kochs are putting a lot of ‘conditional’ money into college campuses pushing for more ‘balanced’ coverage… or equal time.
The left can say whatever they wish about Rush and the Kochs, and the indoctrination is clearly from the left.
Palestine was Jewish for thousands of years before the Ottoman Empire came along. God gave it permanently to Abraham and his descendants through Isaac and Jacob and no one is going to change that. Israel will end up with everything from the Euphrates to the River of Egypt (Genesis 15:18).
Read your Bible. Israel was Israel when the Savages were Savages. Now Israel is a modern Country and the savages are still Savages.
bull. they’re only sorry they got called out 4 their anti semitic lies!
The only thing sorry is you and the rest of the Trump booboisie sorry as-ses
Still butt-sore from getting you flabby butts kicked in the election, huh? Your incessant whining is music to my ears.
I am 80 years old and I don’t have to worry about much except my health. The younger generation are the ones that will have to pay the ultimate sacrifice if this nut case President makes a stupid move.. I trust that responsible journalists will continue to hammer away at Trump (OMG, that name, seriously?) I’m hoping that his presidency will go the way of Turmp steaks and Trump University. However, his supporters will not let go, as Trump said, he could shoot someone on 5th street in NYC and they wouldn’t care. Seriously, who are these people? I know some of my cousins are these people, but I know there are others that are good people and just grasping at straws. Of all the flimsy things they could grab, Trump is the worst. As Carl Bernstein said, and I paraphrase, Trump floats in a weightless atmosphere of lies. He doesn’t bother to substantiate or deny, he just farts out something and the 50% you speak of inhale and swear they smell roses. That 50% are bigots, racist and Booboisies and Trump has no real interest in them or their needs.
The booboisies who voted for Trump are the morons. Trump, As In Rump Let me begin by telling you, if the title does not make this clear enough, what I think about Donald Trump. I stress that I am not trying to tell you what YOU should think about The Donald; I am merely telling you what I think, how I react to him. I have despised Donald Trump for 35 or 40 years, however long he has been a national figure, and I don’t intend to give this up now, or after he becomes President. Of all of the people who are running for President or dropped out of the race, Donald Trump is absolutely the last one that I would have voted for. I could summarize the reasons for this in five bullet points: (1) I believe that Trump is more interested in what is good for Donald Trump than in what is good for America, not that the same could not be said about many of the other candidates, but it seems to me that this has to be more of a concern in the case of a man who has spent 30 years plastering his name to everything he could put his name on, (2) I don’t think Trump’s background in business prepares him for the challenges of the Presidency, (3) I think Trump’s hard-ass approach to problems, in the Presidency, would be very dangerous for our nation, and might have terrible consequences for all of us, (4) I dislike self-promotion. I intensely dislike self-promotion. Donald Trump is the nation’s most notorious self-promoter—and was, before he decided to run for President. (5) I don’t believe that Trump is sincere in 99% of what he says. I think almost everything he says is either an outright lie, or something he is merely saying because it is convenient for him at the moment. We haven’t had a President since Harry Truman who mocked people, a President who was openly rude and vulgar, and I am not anxious to bring that back to the oval office. Also, although I stress that I don’t know, I doubted that Trump was likely to win the election. I would have like to see the Republicans nominate somebody who could actually run the country, not that I would have necessarily
voted for him; I would just like to have had better options, just as I would liked to have had better options in buying an automobile or a gallon of milk. I would like to see Chevy produce better automobiles; it doesn’t mean that I’m going to buy a Chevy. I didn’t think that Trump could win, frankly, because I don’t think there were enough morons to elect him. A certain percentage of the American public is just morons; that’s the way it is. When you divide the public in two and then divide the voters in one of those halves among five candidates or more, a candidate can win by dominating the moron vote because it only takes about one-seventh of the total population to take the “lead” under those circumstances. But when you’re talking about needing 51% of the WHOLE population, rather than needing 30% of half of the population, you run out of morons. I hope we will; I hoped Trump would lose because I hoped that he would run out of morons to vote for him. Again, I stress that I am not trying to tell you what you should think about Donald Trump; I am merely telling you what I think about him. Also, I resent the fact that the cable networks have let Trump sucker them into playing his game for the last several months. What the networks want, of course, is to draw viewers. Donald Trump has been a public figure for 40 years and a reality TV star for 20 years, and he is much, much more savvy about attracting viewers than any of the other Republicans who have been seeking the office. Because he is so much better than they are at attracting viewers, the networks had him on, constantly; you can’t get away from the egomaniac son of a bitch. But the networks have done this, oblivious to the consequence. The consequence is that, just as there is an attention effect in Hall of Fame voting, there is an attention effect in political voting. Trump gets a grossly disproportionate share of the attention, and thus a
My question was asking if you were still butt-hurt over losing the election. I’ll take your response as a big YES. Bwa ha ha ha!
As you put it I am butt hurt as all Americans should be to lose to the piece of shit that got elected to the presidency of the greatest country in the world by an unqualified bigoted, racist. Any one that supports this scumbag is as big as bigot and racist as he is and a complete booboisie. You know this man. You have always known this man.
He says it’s fixed, it’s a plot, it’s a lie, it’s the fault of Mexicans, it means war. He has uncontrollable anger.
And you want to give him nuclear weapons?
He is the lying used car salesman across town. He is the contractor who puts a hole in your wall then vanishes. He is the fast-talking huckster on the late-night television commercial. He is the husband or the wife or the girlfriend or the boyfriend who promised you forever and ran off with your heart and your money—and your life.
You might not have liked Hillary Clinton or her policies or anything about her, but if she was elected, you would have had four years to find a presidential candidate of your own whose true goal is not to rob you blind, and four years from now you would still have a presidential election and a vote—and a country.
Trump will give nothing to you but shame and regret and shackles. He will take, and he will keep, whatever he can get his hands on. It is the story of his life—He boasts about it. He says giving employees a paycheck is the equivalent of your neighbor sacrificing their son in the war. You really think he will give you anything? You really think he will give you a better job? More money?
From women to business he is grab first and ask questions later and you know that. And in the rubble—the rubble of your life in a political-science-fiction-nightmare version of a fascist America made real—this will be on your conscience. It will be your fault, not his. He is merely the con man who is fattening you up for the kill. He ends his appearances with the Rolling Stones song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” He is telling you in advance. How much more warning does he have to give you?
You know this man. You have always known this man.
There is a small minority of gullible nonthinkers and confused conspiracy theorists who believe that Hillary Clinton is guilty of some ethereal set of crimes or unethical behavior. They are unable to articulate what the crimes are because they only exist in a muddled state of chaos in their confused imaginations. They were implanted by right-wing propagandists and their media accomplices. I realize that, to confused conservatives, nothing needs to make sense, logic is turned upside down, common sense is the first thing thrown out the window, and trying to reconcile actual facts with the confusion that they live with on a daily basis is not exactly a priority.
Here’s a CHALLENGE. How do you nonthinkers rationalize the fact that there is not now, and never has been, any proof that Hillary Clinton is guilty of any of the crimes and unethical behavior that YOU have allowed yourselves to be brainwashed into believing by your idiotic right-wing idols?
Don’t be mindless sheep and go rebleating the right wing lies and disinformation that you have been brainwashed to believe. They are NOT PROOF!!!!! I ask for PROOF, not the lies and disinformation, itself.
Since you’re a liberal I know it’s hard for you to understand that our country’s laws are based on the Constitution. They come in two forms; Discretionary and non-discretionary. Our mmigration laws are non-discretionary. This means that people like you are flat out wrong when it comes to the enforcement of these laws. And would-be dicktators like Obonehead dont have the right to violate our Constitution by refusing to enforce the law. Your dicktator spent his time in office trying to bypass Congress and the will of the American people, and he was the most prolific liar to ever disgrace the White House. But thankfully we now have a great, law abiding President in office, and he’s been doing a great job erasinf the many wrongs perpetrated by your lawless dicktator, including all his executive orders.
If You voted for Trump you have a serious problem. He has no idea what the constitution says. At least Obama was a constitutional professor for 12 years.. Just look at what Trump has said in his own words. If you support all that your are the one with a problem.
Donald Trump:
I did try and Fcuk her. She was MARRIED,” [he was too]
“I moved on her like a B$TCH”
“Grab them by the PU$SY”
“You can do ANYTHING.”
I cannot understand how so call evangelical Christians are supporting this man. It’s beginning to seem as if “family values” conservatives are phonies. Is Donald Trump the role model we want our children listening to for the next 4 years? Hell no….
Who is Donald Trump? Well, Part drama queen. Part conman. Part egomaniac. Part racist. Part woman-hater. Part sexual assaulter. Part cheapskate. Part spoiled brat. Full-time Fornicating adulterer. And there’s more… Here’s the proof:
He’s the guy with “the best memory in the world” who couldn’t recall a beauty pageant contestant, an Hispanic women, even when he was reminded that he called her “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping”; and then the next day he said she was the worst Miss Universe ever.
He’s the “arbiter of good taste” who called a woman disgusting who used a break to use a breast pump, and who called Hillary disgusting for taking a bathroom break during a break in a Democratic debate, while he actually appeared in a Playboy porn video in the year 2000.
He’s the ‘philanthropist’ who pays his own bills with charity money, he buys pictures of himself with charity money, and hey, guess what, it’s not even really a registered charity.
He’s the ‘friend to veterans’ who lost numerous cases when sued after failing to comply with handicap access laws for his buildings, dragging out cases for years, even when it involved a disabled veteran.
He’s the ‘diplomat’ who claimed in 2014, “I spoke indirectly and directly with [Russian] President Putin, who could not have been nicer.” And in 2015, “And I got to know him [Putin]very well because we were both on 60 Minutes.” And finally, the truth, in 2016, “I have nothing to do with Putin. I have never spoken to him.”
He’s the ‘transparent’ guy who won’t show us his taxes.
He’s the ‘patriotic American’ who took 9-11 clean-up funds intended for small businesses. And he said he lost hundreds of friends on 9-11, yet he can’t name one.
He’s the guy who has a good relationship with ‘the blacks’ who flip-flopped and lied for years about President Obama’s birth, ran full-page ads calling for the death penalty for 5 young teenage blacks wrongfully accused of raping a white woman in Central Park (The Central Park Five), and refused to rent to blacks.
He’s the self-described ‘really smart person’ who had his own hotel’s payment systems hacked in Chicago, Las Vegas, Toronto, Florida, Hawaii and New York in 2015. Data was stolen, his company covered it up, failed to notify customers, ignored recommendations on how to fix it, and so were subsequently hacked again, with Trump ultimately having to pay a big fine.
He’s the ‘friend of labor’ who knowingly built his namesake Trump Tower with undocumented foreign construction workers who were treated so badly that they sued and won on the grounds of unsafe working conditions. They were paid $5 an hour when they were paid at all. Said the Judge, “They were off the books. No taxes of any kind were paid.”
He’s a ‘self-made millionaire’, who started out with millions from his father, and who bailed him out financially a couple of times with millions more, and still his businesses had to declare bankruptcy 4 times.
He’s a ‘straight talker’ despite the fact that fact-checking websites say he lies in excess of 75% of the time.
He’s the commander-in-chief wannabe who flip-flops weekly on whether to send troops into the Mideast, who is not sure if Russia is in the Ukraine or not, who claims to know more than the generals, insults gold star moms, insults living heroes, and cheats veteran’s charities out of money.
He’s a ‘man of the people’, who criticizes mothers and wants their noisy babies thrown out of rallies.
He’s the ‘champion of the middle-class’ who believes that American wages are too high, while many of his products are made in China, Bangladesh, Honduras, Vietnam, South Korea, India, and elsewhere.
He’s the ‘job creator’ who is going to bring jobs back to the US, yet hasn’t brought any of his own companies’ manufacturing of clothing or anything else back to the US.
He’s the ‘sympathetic’ man who mocked a physically disabled reporter.
He’s the ‘law and order candidate’ who incites supporters to physically attack protesters and offers to pay the legal bills of violent supporters.
He’s the ‘compassionate conservative’ who thinks women should be punished for getting an abortion even if they were raped. And he relishes telling people they’re fired.
He’s the ‘foreign policy expert’ who gets his experience from watching the Sunday Morning shows, and too dumb to know that a ruthless dictator (Putin) that represses his people is not “good leadership”.
He’s the ‘tactful politician’ who calls people, fat, ugly, and stupid — especially women. But if they are attractive then he asserts that their menstrual periods cause them to ask him tough questions. But claims he will be a great role model for children. No, Mr. Trump…not only are you unfit to be president you are unfit for our children [I turn the channel because I never know what this loose cannon will say while my kids are watching].
He wants to lead the free world that proclaims, “Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free and you’ll have a right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness”…except for Muslims.
He’s the ‘protector of seniors’ who has said Social Security is a Ponzi scheme and wants to cut it, Medicare, and Medicaid.
He’s a ‘family values kind of guy’ who brags about groping women’s pus$y, trying to fcuk another man’s wife, has been married 3 times, with the first divorce decree including a gag order on his ex-wife (the one accusing him of rape) in exchange for a big pile of cash. And while married to his current (third) wife he said his daughter is so hot that if she wasn’t his daughter they would be dating (creepy). Worse yet, the bastard told Howard Stern it was okay to refer to his daughter Ivanka as “a piece of ass”.
He’ll uphold the dignity of the office of the President of the United States, except on those days when he tries to convince America that he doesn’t have a small penis, as he did during the nationally televised debates while some of our children were watching.
He’s a man who ‘sacrifices for his country’ who believes building his empire to feed his greed and ego is akin to dying in battle or losing a child who died in battle.
He’s the tough-talking guy who got a medical draft deferment for a terribly painful bone spur, but he can’t remember which foot it was on.
He ‘leads’ on important issues of the day as evidenced by his claim that no one was talking about immigration until he brought it up even though the rest of the country has been talking about it for decades. His ‘leadership’ on the issue was to marry his 3rd wife, a foreign women who was working in this country for a year before she received a Visa.
He’s the ‘bulwark against Wall St’ who said he was financing his own campaign who has hired a former Goldman Sachs banker to head his fundraising efforts, including outreach to billionaire hedge fund managers.
He’s a ‘level-headed guy’ who read a story in the National Enquirer and is now concerned that Senator Ted Cruz’s father was involved in the JFK assassination. And he’s re-tweeted grossly false racist statistics from a fake organization, excusing himself later by saying he doesn’t start rumors, he just spreads them.
He’s the ‘protector of ordinary citizens’ who has flip-flopped on the assault weapons ban and guns in the classroom within just a few days.
He’s the ‘lover of Israel’ who said to the Republican Jewish Coalition, “I’m a negotiator like you folks”.
He’ll protect the entire globe, although he believes global climate change is a hoax, while at the same time seeking government funding to help combat the effects climate change at one of his golf courses…which makes him either a liar or a fraud.
He’s an ‘honest guy’ with a fake university. Heck, He’s not even legally allowed to call it a university as it doesn’t have the proper credentials and he’s being sued because the curriculum was a sham.
He’s the ‘lover of all people’ who thinks the judge of Hispanic descent can’t be impartial in the lawsuit regarding the “University” just mentioned.
He’s the ‘great thinker’ who said that if all the drunken revelers in the Orlando nightclub shooting had been armed, things would have gone much better.
He seeks to be the leader of the free world who is eager to torture, kill the mothers and children of our enemy, and try US citizens at military tribunals in Guantanamo Bay Cuba.
He’s the ‘lover of Democracy’ who has suggested that his political opponent be jailed now, or be shot if elected.
He’s the ‘lover of the free press as long as they say “nice” things about him. But when they report “facts”’ they are part of a conspiracy of a “rigged system”.
He’s the guy so sharp on his feet that during a debate he pitifully asks viewers to call Sean Hannity of Fox News when he got caught in a lie from not knowing his facts because he doesn’t like to study and read.
He’s the tough talking coward that spends nearly a year and half telling his supporters he will “make” Mexico pay for a wall but when face-to-face with the Mexican president never mentions payment of the wall and goes silent when the Mexican president confronts him that Mexico will not, under any circumstances, pay for a wall.
He’s the Peeping Tom and Sexual Predator that brags about walking in on young (barely legal) nude beauty pageant contestants because “I own the pageant”. He boasts to Howard Stern about “banging” 18 year old contestants as “it’s my duty as the owner”. God only knows how many of those young girls he took advantage of…”grabbing pu$sy” and “doing anything” as he eludes to in video and radio. Now ask yourself, would you want your young daughter alone around Donald Trump? (google “upcoming Trump rape case involving 13 year old girl”).
Pure and simple, Donald J Trump is a disgrace and will “Make America” the laughing stock of the world.
Edwin, way to many salient points for most in this chatroom to understand. I appreciate your effort, but I’m afraid you’re wasting your time.
It doesn’t surprise me that you don’t get it or you wouldn’t have voted for Trump.
Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, your political beliefs are an expression of what you value in society.
It’s amazing how Trump voters were convinced that a billionaire who has never once had a brush with financial struggle in his life, was the candidate that related most to the working man. Trump has never been a blue collar worker. He’s never come home dirty, sore and stinking from sweat. Never had to scrimp or save, never had to say ‘no’ to his kids. Trump has never known that kind of difficulty, and yet, he convinced millions that he understood them.

These didn’t leave me speechless. They are pretty obvious. Trump spews lie after lie and his base eats it up like candy. It is easier to be a victim of oppression when the oppression is only imaginary. “Why me? Why don’t I have a better life? It couldn’t be anything that is my fault…no, no, no! It must be the Blacks/Muslims/Latinos!”
Grow up, leave the infantile President Twitter Fingers to his self destruction, and take some accountability for your own life. And while you are at it, fix your hate-filled hearts or die.
Obama’s presidency was the affirmation of a final triumph of pan Americanism and the American dream. Then Trump came . n mattering more than his lineage? Trump is an inherited aristocrat. Deeds mattering more than identity? A truly awful, sociopathic, narcissistic sexual predator, manipulator, huckster with no service, qualification’s, or clues winning the leadership of the free world over someone with a lifetime of service, experience, and qualifications. Content of character? Trump wouldn’t know character if it took him hostage and forced him to watch a 4 hour presentation on it. .Pan Americanism? But much SCARY BROWN PEOPLE! And everything since then has been yet another running leap downhill. Every single day a new embarrassment and failure befalls us.
at you don’t get it or you wouldn’t have voted for Trump.
Give it a rest, Edwin. We all know how badly you feel about the man in the WH. BTW…if O’bama was such a great Constitutional scholar, how was it he ran afoul of the Supreme Court on more occasions than any President in modern history? Many of those votes were NOT 5-4 squeakers, as I’m sure you must already know.
The President doesn’t argue cases in court. He has a solicitor general that does that. you lose and you win in court . When you have 5-4 court almost anything you send is defeated
Edwin, I’m sorry you missed my comment and point completely. I voted AGAINST Trump for the exact same reasons you did. He’s an embarassment to himself… and this country. I said (paraphrased) that you offer a lot of sound, reasonable, logical, common sense and factual observations… that most in this chatroom will never get. I DO GET IT. Many on this ‘right-wing’, neo-nut propaganda site will never understand, proving you can ‘fool some of the people, all the time’… and that you can get people to consistently vote against their own best interests… the true definition of “Crazy”. Hang in there.
Thanks for the clarification. Mis-read your comment.
You have no way of knowing whether or not Obama was a constitutional scholar because he had his transcripts sealed. That means you have to trust that he’s truthful. “With the ACA every household will have a $1,500 decrease in premiums. You can keep your doctor. You can keep your policy. You can keep your hospital.”
“We signed into law the biggest middle-class tax cut in history”.
“90 percent of the budget deficit is due to George W. Bush’s policies”. ““The day after Benghazi happened, I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism”. ““The Keystone pipeline is for oil that bypasses the United States”….. Hey, I could spend days destroying the honesty of this lawless hack, but I have better things to do. Besides, he and his wife Magilla Gorilla are finally gone. Donald Trump is President and he’s reversing all of Obonehead’s socialist promoting executive orders. Life is good! MAGA!
UC Law School statement: The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as “Senior Lecturer.” From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.Obama’s transcripts refer to his grades and background in college. He attended Oxford and Harvard so you must be somewhat savey to graduate from either of those. You cold keep your doctor or insurance as for as the ACA was concerned it was the Insurance companies and doctors who denied you that. I would say 90% of the debt can be traced back to Bush’ policies from what I have read. You are right about the Keystone pipeline and Obama never approved it. In case you never noticed, we have always been at least 45% socialist nation. All federal, state and local employees. the military, police, fireman, school teacher’s. post offices employees, Medicare and Medicaid, SS and I could go on. So you might do some fact checking on your own you might learn something
Trump supporters are naïve
Here are excerpts from Magary’s
literary masterpiece: which I totally agree
“Trump is a liar and a crook, and he commits abominable
acts at such a frenetic pace that they get lost in the fury
surrounding whatever horrible thing he does next. […]
Regardless, in the end, people are still gonna vote for this
man. Maybe not enough to get him elected, but still: it’ll
be in the tens of millions. (Note to the people causing the
polls to fluctuate: What the fu-k is wrong with you? […]
Nothing that Trump says, no damning piece of Trump
reportage, and certainly no opinion piece like this one will
stop his voters from pulling the lever. Nor will anything
stop Trump from being the officious, braindead goon that he
is. He will never answer for his crimes, and there’s a
frighteningly large portion of the electorate that will
always love him for that.
And so I’d just like to say to that portion of the
electorate: Fu-k you. No, seriously. Go fu-k yourselves.
[Nothing’s gonna take down Trump at this point, so I’m
not gonna bother. No no, this post is for ME. I am preaching
to the sad little choir in my soul here.
Because while Trump is a miserable bastard, YOU are the
people who have handed him the bullhorn. YOU are the people
willing to embarrass this nation and put it on the brink of
economic ruin all because you wanna throw an electoral hissy
fit. YOU are the people who want to revolutionize the way
America does business by voting for its worst businessman, a
disgusting neon pig who only makes money when he causes
problems for other people instead of solving them. YOU are
the thin-skinned yokels who clutch your bandoliers whenever
someone hurls the mildest of slurs at you
(“deplorables”), while cheering Trump on as he leaves a
bonfire of truly hateful invective everywhere he goes. YOU
are the people willing to overlook the fact that Trump is an
unqualified, ignorant sociopath because DURRRR HILLARY IS
BAD TOO DURRRR.
You know what? No, she’s not. She’s fine. I lived
through one Clinton, and I can live through another. My
reasons for hating Trump are better than your reasons for
hating Hillary. Show me all the arguments against her you
like. You guys don’t give a shit about facts and research
when it comes to Trump, so I’m not gonna give a sh-t about
whatever clumsy meme you cook up to explain why she did
Benghazi. Nope. Sorry. Fu-k your arguments, and fu-k you.
Trump is human waste. He is the worst of America stuffed
into a nacho cheese casing, and he is emblematic of the kind
of arrogant, flag-waving, trashy, racist moron that the rest
of us have to DRAG kicking and screaming into the 21st
century: Cliven Bundy, Sean Hannity, Kim Davis, and on and
on and on. […] These are needy hillbilly loons who are
just as starved for attention as Trump himself. […]
If you vote for him, you’re not making America great
again. You are killing it. […] And you are revealing your
breathtaking ignorance to everyone except for yourself. I
can’t believe you can’t see this. I want you to see
this. I wanna shine a big fu-king light in your face and
scream at you that Trump isn’t even qualified to be human,
much less President. How are you gonna change the system if
you elect some corrupt idiot who has no clue how to DO IT,
huh? Can’t you see this? Haven’t you heard this asshole
talk? WHATTHE FU-K IS WRONG WITH YOU?
But I already know that’s a futile effort. So fu-k you,
and fu-k the GOP leaders who are too – to stand up to you.
I’m not gonna wish deportation or imprisonment or some
kind of fantastical hyperbolic death upon you. I’m not
gonna ask for a wall to be built on the Mason-Dixon line. No
no, I think you people deserve the EXACT same fate as Trump
himself, and that is to lose, badly. That’s what should
happen to you. You and your hamburger puppet leader deserve
to live the rest of your days arm-in-arm in disgrace,
branded as losers for eternity. Because that’s what you are.
Not since FDR was in office at the depth of the Great Depression, has a president confronted such a profound economic crisis on the first day in office. The banking system was collapsing, the two big automotive companies were near bankruptcy, unemployment was rising and the housing market was in a free fall. It was Obama’s policies, enacted into law despite unprecedented Republican obstruction, that helped turn the economy around. In fact, Obama’s policies have been far more successful than Roosevelt’s New Deal program. It was increased wartime production after 1939, not New Deal programs, that ended the depression. Obama ended the “great recession” while slowly disengaging the nation from active involvement in two foreign wars.
Just about every economic indicator reveals an American economy on the rebound, and the growth has far outpaced that in other developed nations. You would not know that by listening to the cartoonish complaints of the Republican candidates running for president. What they fail to mention is that the economic results would be even better had it not been for the Republican-imposed sequester in 2011.
Like all “great” and “near great” presidents, Obama not only solved the problems he inherited, he has managed to leave his own mark on the institution. With the Affordable Care Act, Obama accomplished what every Democrat since Harry Truman has tried but failed to pass — national health insurance for all Americans. He has championed other reasonable policies — fighting global warming, ending gun violence through sensible gun control legislation, and immigration reform — only to have his initiatives stymied by conservative opposition. Most of all, Obama has been masterful in exercising the intangible aspects of the presidency — inspiring people with his words, and articulating a clear alternative vision for the nation that makes his opponents appear small-minded and petty. And lets not forget the symbolic power of being the nation’s first African American president.
Obama’s accomplishments in foreign policy have also been notable. In addition to the economic crisis at home, Obama inherited unpopular wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not only has Obama been winding down America’s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, he has reoriented the nation’s priorities abroad and articulated a more modest vision for America’s role in the world. He signed a controversial nuclear deal with Iran, opened relations with Cuba, and has refused to be drawn into another ground war in the Middle East. His Eisenhower-like restraint in the use of military power has sent Bush-era neoconservatives into hysterics, but it has dramatically improved America’s image in the world.
What remains unclear is whether Obama’s vision and his policies will reshape the Democratic party and Obama to be one of the greatest
Yawn…
go to bed and dream about your bigoted hero Trumpie.
Apologizes? Only because he got caught in a lie!
Mystery surrounds the 9/11 attack. Too much mystery to ignore. Did the fake media actually get it all correct or was there actually a conspiracy from within? As with the LIncoln and Kennedy assassinations, history will forever remain a mystery. The government must convince the people that there is reason for war be it true or false least there be protesters in the streets as with Vietnam. We are living in the age of treason..
Are the authors of this piece confused or being devious when they state “History tells us that Israel’s land most certainly did not “belong to Muslims” prior to the creation of the modern-day state. It was under British rule. Before that, it was part of the Ottoman Empire”. Surly he must realize the Ottoman Empire was Islamic and they conquered Christians and Jews during the crusades to take it.
Yes, it became the home of the Jews 3,000 years ago when King David conquered the Jebusites. Islam didn’t even come into existence until 560 A.D.

Another example of Islamic propaganda influence against Israel which shows the anti-Jewish ideology exists!
CAUGHT… trying to write history and make us all think like them. “Can never trust them ever again!”
The professor forgot you cannot criticize israel or jews, they are beyond criticism. They are the only victims in the world. They can commit a holocaust against the Palestinians and get away with it because they keep the world distracted by preaching to the point of nausea the alleged holohoax they suffered.
