“Kill Kavanaugh” now tops Twitter feeds
They’re coming for you next: “Kill Kavanaugh” now tops Twitter search feeds, requiring only the typing of a “k” to get it near the top of any search, with “ki” placing at the very top of the search list.
Although many current tweets on the hashtag are critical of both the hashtag and Twitter’s double standards, earlier tweets use the hashtag unironically and uncritically. Several of these tweets have not been removed by Twitter, and the accounts that tweeted them do not appear to have been punished by Twitter in any way, despite the fact that some users say they have reported them.
It can be argued that some — but not all — of these tweets are metaphorical, calling for the nomination to be “killed” rather than the person, in the same way that a piece of legislation might be metaphorically “killed.” But refusing to take action against those tweets would still be an example of Twitter’s double standards: the platform has in the past permanently banned free speech maximalist users when they employed similar metaphors, using the least charitable interpretation of their remarks. This is the website that has silenced James Woods for tweeting a meme about soy boys that Jack Dorsey and his San Francisco menagerie argue could “impact an election.”
Twitter in general is a sewer of vicious hate and childish emotions, but that its management is willing to tolerate this kind of behavior from the left indicates they really support it.
The left, and the Democrats, are out for full and unopposed power, and they are willing to destroy anyone they perceive as getting in their way. Unfortunately, they have quislings like Senator Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) helping them. The man would have built the gas chambers for the NAZIS if they had asked him.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

Sen. Flake lacks the courage to act. He would have pointed to the gas chambers after the fact, looked with feigned horror at what had occurred, and denied any culpability.
Mr. Flake, you can be seen as a rough but good looking dude, a stud, you have the look of a leader. Well dressed and well spoken but you are are PUSS, your not a leader you are a flexible political poser. A spineless and conveniently politically fearful man “Retiring” from the Senate because your own people that vote and empower you will no longer empower you, they like the actual leadership of the likes of Trump.
So much potential but a human potemkin village. I would not like to have to square off with you mano a mano, but we are talking about the political area here and although you have the look of a leader your just not.
Why?
Because your a RINO PUSS, a convenient tool of the Left, no difference between you and Cory “Tool”

If Kavanaugh emerges from this next round of forced time wasting “Investigations” but does not receive enough votes to secure his seat on the court then he has the potential to become a Conservative super warrior or it will emotionally castrate him. Im betting on political super warrior however.
We wait, the warfare gets more and more intense as we approach the golden ring to be won in this current battle, the midterm elections, which are the most important in modern history.
Please do remember that all the Republican squishes have a background in academia. They are the portion of the Republican Party most affected by the desire to be “one of the smart kids”. Their ability to function is tied up in their self-image as “one of the smart kids”.
I have had many conversations with people here in the Portland area who oppose Trump and *any* nominee by Trump, as someone giving in to the people who are not “one of the smart kids”. We will continue to have such people in any Party opposed to the extremes of progressivism as long as academia continues the self-serving indoctrination, of those who enter and graduate from academia’s hierarchies, in progressive attitudes toward Civil Society. Those attitudes are that Civil Society’s attitudes that are *not* certified by academia must be eliminated from Society, and that academia must be the sole instructor in what is good and right. Of course, its certification must also be the sole requirement for getting any job that earns a person a wage as well, so that ultimately academia is in control of the future of each and every one of us in Civil Society, who will then support academia’s hierarchies without question.
Liberal leftist fascist democrats are out to get us! So, should we get them first? Should we be polishing our guns and manning the barricades?
OM, you are exactly correct, they are out to get “us”, very clearly. They tell us all every day.
Are you being sarcastic?
If you are being sarcastic are you not paying attention to the things that the Democrat leadership itself is promoting? “At any cost” RESIST, get them, if you see them drive them out, ruin their day! I could go on.
This is political warfare that does not have to devolve into actual paranoid use of firearms. But the Democrats are certainly running down that road as they (And I assume you?) become more and more desperate.
Cotour–
I took that as sarcasm, but now I don’t know.
(It should go without saying, “tone” is impossible to discern from text.)
OM:
Reference:
“So, should we get them first?”
>Wrong question, or rather–I reject the premise. (Unless you are joking.)
That would presuppose, they haven’t been already doing their Stuff-to-Us, for at least 100 years.
Nobody in my Tribe, started any of this, ever. We all tried to mind our own business, take care of our families and neighbors, mow our lawns, and pay our taxes.
-Slavery– nope, that was the democrat party.
(Ending Slavery– that was us, you can thank us later.)
-Prohibition and the first War on Drugs, nope, that was the democrat party.
-The “progressive Era,” (including eugenics’) nope, that was the democrat-party.
-Social Security, WPA et al, seizing all the Gold, and 2 dozen alphabet Agencies, nope, that was the democrat party.
-Contorting the Commerce Clause,- democrat party.
-Jim Crow and institutionalized bigotry– democrat party.
-The Welfare State– democrat party.
-Doubling the National debt in 8 years– Barrack Hussein Obama lord God of the democrat party.
-Occupy Wallstreet– democrat party.
-Antifa– democrat party.
Any sort of “direct -action” against this level of tyranny, I would put forth, would be more correctly classified, as self-defense or counter-revolution.
They aren’t the victim’s, democrat party and everyone connected to them, (useful idiots or fellow-travelers) are the perpetrator’s. It’s all statism.

The last and only legal & peaceful way within our system, to prevent absolute tyranny;
Article 5.
https://conventionofstates.com/
By-pass the Federal government, (they play no role in this) [they wouldn’t exist but for the States.] The separate & sovereign States have the absolute Constitutional power to institute such things as: term-limits, spending, debt, & taxing limits, repealing the 16th & 17th Amendment’s, etc.

Col Beausabre-
Good stuff.
Col:
And there is only one thing that exists now that did not exist then that gives anyone any degree optimism related to surviving and prospering and moving positively into the future during this particular episode of extreme political turmoil, and that is the existence of the American Constitution.
And that is why the Left is so driven to destroy it in the name of “What should be”, they are just much smarter and intellectually superior to all others (Or so they have convinced themselves in their self hypnosis that proposes what “should be”.)
The Constitution is built to grow stronger as more and more pressure is applied, designed exactly for what is underway. And all will be well if it is able to be adhered to.
The Constitution is but 240 years or so old, human history is millenia old, many millenia old, and there is just one new thing that sets us apart and gives us hope.
Col Beausabre-
again, great link.
I’ll summarize for those we haven’t had a chance to listen:
The road to civil war:
-civil wars are existential, and welcomed.
-they are all about who will have & hold legitimacy, who owns virtue, who owns what is right-and-true.
-they happen when a society that felt like one, sees the opposing group as the Other.
– the proximate issue is a struggle over identity itself, and who has the right and authority to determine how you think & believe. Who owns virtue. (ST Landru reference; the opposing side is “not of the body”)
-both sides present and demand submission by the other, to their vision, and their definition of virtue. Submission is the only thing that will satisfy both sides. Neither side will yield.
-the defining moment is when one side tells the other they will not submit, “I will not do it.”
finally– it is only a mater of when & who makes the 1st violent move.
totally agree with this formulation.

Wayne -good summary
Cotour and Col good points.
Hondo – a caution.
We must “take” the first, second and third “punch”. We cannot give in to our visceral desire to – as I call it “block and counter” so easily. I think the Other, Left, or globalists …etc are pushing the envelope. They are testing. They don’t understand our resolve. We must “take it” but not yield our beliefs or stating these beliefs.
It’s not existential yet.
WHEN they try to seriously take our voice away everywhere – not just on a liberal campus. When they try to take our ability to freely move away (prior arguments on all autonomous vehicles or toll/tracking devices on vehicles), When they try to take our ultimate protection away – firearms. THEN it is time to drive these Other from our sacred soil or bury them in it.
In the meantime we must be patient, unyielding, vocal and involved in stating our truth. Never shy from arguing your valid points to anyone.
But we must also prepare.
Keep the tools you need. Stay very proficient in them.
Expect the unexpected -like lightning from a clear blue sky.
Have a very personal (not online) plan to act if required. Include a list of the Other at their root.
Pray we don’t need to act.
(When “they” say they ARE going to kill you, believe them.)

“The Second Coming”
Yeats- 1919
“Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”
So the consensus here seems to be that we _should_ be violently defending ourselves against the liberal leftist fascist Democrats. Off to Wal-Mart to buy more ammunition!
OM: You denying what is plain to see about what the Democrat party has devolved into by attempting to turn it back on the Conservatives here is going absolutely nowhere. Why do you continue with it?
Clearly right out of the Democrat play book, but it means nothing. Very unsophisticated and transparent, childish really. What is your game since you only really speak in bumper stickers? What is your political philosophy and why?
You drop your pissy little Democrat bombs and then run off. You must love Chuck Schumer, he also is a lot about BS.
OM: Back from Wal Mart yet?
OM – the stove is hot.
You can take baby steps toward the stove but it remains hot
You can leap at the stove but it remains hot.
Either way – touch the stove – it will burn.
We on the non-globalist, nationalist, traditionalist side -or whatever you want to call it do NOT want to have conflict. Many on this “side” know what conflict means. This is part of the reason why we are so passive to the push from the “left”,globalists …etc. Or maybe our parents brought us up correctly.
Few on the “left” really know what conflict means.
The “right” – to come to a term – does not want conflist. We have yielded for 40 years- no more. We see and acknowledge prior wrongs and look to rectify them. We ask others to acknowledge theirs as well. We want to move forward.
But we have limits. Places we will not yield. The individual, free speech, property rights, the Constitution, freedom.
The stove is hot.
Cotour, most days I wake up pretty angry. I come to Behind the Black because I agree with what the people say here about who is destroying this country and oppressing white people. I often want to punch these people when I see them on the street or run them over with my truck. But I think you ramble a lot here, so that’s why I don’t engage you in long discussions about liberal lefty Democrat fascists who are destroying this country.
OM–
I wake up relatively “angry” as well. Glad you’re just being sarcastic. I would counsel however– this has little to do with “white people,” in the grand scheme– the left is master at fractionating us ALL and we can’t take that bait. (and they have an absolute lock on the Administrative State and will unleash it against us all.)
–given enough time, the left will eat itself and turn on all those “old white lefty men/woman,” but they are extremely dangerous to us all, in the interim
To paraphrase Michael Vlahos, (civil war) is “existential and (creepily) welcomed by both sides.” I do not want this, but it would also be a relief. It’s Cognitive Dissonance, I have to balance my belief in the Rule of Law against counter-revolution and survival.
I want to strike these “people,” pre-emptively, and settle all scores at once and be done with it, but as Chris notes (and I concur) it’s extremely dangerous. Concurrently, I’m getting tired of taking punches over and over and over again. They are wearing me out with their endless absurdities and I’m willing to be the 1st ape to say NO.
(and amazingly… Trump is the only one who fights back.)
–The innocent will suffer terribly, but eventually those Responsible will be held to account for their economic & political crimes against the people, and it’s going to be gruesome, but we will win in the end.
Civil wars are extremely vicious and brutal; it’s brother against brother.
Perfectly willing to go the only legal & non-violent path left remaining, Article 5. But I can’t wait forever and before I die I want to ensure my g-daughter isn’t condemned to endless counter-revolution and life during wartime.

So your in fact a double negative sarcastic. Very interesting, you were really “P” ing me off.
I have stated here a long time ago that I interact here as a form of personal therapy as well as attempting to refine and simplify my writing and make it more effective. Its all an exercise to move positively into the future.
I suggest that you share more of your true positions and feelings on the subject it will tend to have a positive effect and relieve your what appears to be increasing resentment and frustration. Not good.
Thanks for the heads up, now I can properly read and interpret your posts.
NYT’S GOES THROUGH 40 YEARS OF TRUMP TAXES………WHERE ARE THE RUSSIANS?
Q: Where the hell is all of the controlling Russian money that Putin is using to control his well placed puppet, Trump?
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-wealth-fred-trump.html
I do not see any. (All well timed for release to coincide with the coming election by Liberal / Leftist media co conspirators)
As the midterms approach and the Russian/ Mueller narrative has failed because it is being revealed the conspiracy that existed between the FBI and the DOJ against a citizen and now president. And we now have the Kavanaugh investigation slowly blowing up in the Democrats face the desperation grows and grows as Trump just continues to put up actual verifiable wins and solidifies his support. The Democrats have no weapons for such real and verifiable things as positive economic results, they can only destroy like petulant children. All they have is their media thugs trying to throw monkey wrenches where and when they can.
One politically driven setup after another are all failing and I expect the Democrats, the former American party can only continue. And that really is what this is all about, if the Democrats were to be required to be honest about their agenda they would have to reveal that they were essentially Social engineers of the first order who really only give lip service to something like the the Constitution and the importance of the individual over the collective. They need your money and your freedom so they can save you from yourselves. And they will do anything and say anything to confiscate both.
IMO the rumored “Blue wave” will turn out to be a very low tide. Why? Because true leadership in the White House is willing to thrown down and fight for what needs to be fought for, actual measurable American related results. The Democrats have no true leadership, do not mistake rage and desperation for true leadership. The one has no relation to the other.

Remember that leftists make up a couple of types. The first type is uncomfortable being responsible for their own lives and are looking for a mommy and daddy to care for them and tell them how to live and what to do, think, and say. The other type is those willing to be mommy and daddy and tell them how to live and what to do, think, and say.
In the Kavanaugh case, however, the parental types are behaving just like the three-year old types, throwing a fit and crying over the slightest things. My guess is that the parental types are becoming exhausted and frustrated and are reverting to their three-year old selves. Meanwhile, the three-year old types are looking on a bit shocked that their parental units are having a meltdown; that is not very adult of them to do, at least not in front of the children.
THE FAST APPROACHING DEMOCRAT NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
What will the Democrat Leadership and their minions in the street and in the media do when Bret Kavanaugh is voted into the Supreme Court?
https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-house-finds-no-corroboration-of-sexual-misconduct-allegations-against-kavanaugh-in-fbi-report-1538625927
The Supreme Court, specifically that 5th seat supposedly “Owned” by Ted Kennedy and his Liberal and now Leftist operatives is about to be changed as a result of president Trump. This will be THEE transformative moment for the Democrat party in so many ways and we must ask: How will this transformation from the old Liberal court structure to the now Trumpian and decidedly more potentially Conservative court structure be adjusted to? Yelling? Screaming? Violence? Stay tuned.
This is the age of Trump, there is no longer time or room to massage ones self telling all “Its all not true, it can not be true”. Its true.

JUST ONE MORE REASON WHY THE DEMOCRATS MUST BE DENIED POWER
Their “comedy” says it all. (And those who know me personally know that I can be a bit raw and even dark in my “comedy”, but this to me just goes too far in its politically based disrespect.)
Keeping in mind that this is not just the comedy of a young ignorant millennial dummy who lives a nice peaceful, secure life immersed in the luxury fantasy that is modern America. But the politically directed and sanctioned position of the dummy’s primarily Liberal Democrat and now Leftist supporting corporate master. This is all orchestrated and officially allowed. No one suggested that it might be a bit too much?
This is free speech, it is highly offensive to me, but there it is. And the crazy thing is this guy who lost his eye ensuring the right of this ignorant dummy to offend probably would do it all over again to ensure that free speech.
https://www.dailycaller.com/2018/11/04/saturday-night-live-dan-crenshaw/
Whether you agree with American policy and politics of any stripe, military or otherwise, Democrat, Republican or any political party extreme on either side we must all agree that the men and women that choose to serve in the military and in many cases sacrifice themselves in life and limb, directed by “others” must be honored and respected. This is an absolute. Disagree with their political positions but never stoop so low as this Saturday Night Live player and his corporate masters have.
To me a disgrace of the first order, this is the really ignorant side of the American fantasy. And I can almost ignore this players ignorance and chalk it up to his foolish youth, almost.
