The Decline of Portland Continues

Posted on April 24, 2023 by jewamongyou

Leftist, soft-on-crime, policies have consequences. Small/family businesses can’t absorb the costs of continued theft. Individuals sometimes have little choice but to take matters into their own hands when the police can’t/won’t do anything about rampant theft.

I got this from Nextdoor.com. It’s a leftist organization, so the post will probably be removed at some point:

The fact that I have photos and video footage of the men that stole my truck yet there isn’t a thing the police can do is infuriating to me. I finally reached out to a friend on Portland PD and they explained it all to me. The DA refuses to press any charges on the people that steal cars (even if they run from the police). The DA issued a “statement” that the police are supposed to read to the suspects that basically only says “I know stealing a car is wrong and if I do it again I could be charged”. Then they are released! These guys also stole enough off my credit card (fell out of my purse in to the truck) that it’s considered a Class C felony. Does that matter? Not a bit. To be clear, the police are just as frustrated that they basically have no power in Portland. The public has been so focused on taking away their power then there’s no real solution in place. So where does this leave those of us that had their vehicle stolen? Out on the streets looking for our cars and needing to be ready for whatever craziness may ensue. It’s just a vehicle and I have a comprehensive policy so ultimately I will be fine but this was a core childhood memory. All of the fun things that we ever did were possible because of that truck. I learned how to drive with it. I’ve gotten to have both my girls ride in it daily, hoping one day to teach them to drive it. It’s the principle of it. Idk, I’m just sad about having it taken from me. *I was not close enough to take their pictures personally, otherwise I would’ve just taken the truck. The photos/video were provided to me. **Truck was stolen in Clark County (Vancouver, WA) and the credit card fraud/last known video of truck was Parkrose Hardware in Portland off Sandy. Neither department can do anything other than keep an eye out until I locate the truck.

From a comment there:

My husband’s truck was stolen a year ago. It was found in S.E. Portland with the guy inside the truck. They asked my husband if he wanted to press charges and of course he said yes. The man was taken to jail and released 2 hours later. The truck was full of stolen car parts, license plates, car keys, knives and drugs and the police just handed my husband a pair of gloves and was told to remove what wasn’t his. The police didn’t want it. They knew the D.A. wasn’t going to go through with the charges. My husband called the D.A. and left them a voicemail. Never received a call back.

This is also a good opportunity to publish the following from Instagram:


@coavacoffee closes its Downtown Portland location & has a message for everyone: It is with a heavy heart that we share the following message:

We have decided to permanently close our downtown Portland cafe (1171 SW Jefferson St) with the last full day of operation being this Thursday, April 13.

The team members at this cafe have been on the front line enduring extreme violence and criminal activity on an almost daily basis for the last few years– crime and violence that is only increasing in frequency and severity. From theft, to physical displays of violence, threats of harm, break-ins, window smashing, and repeated traumatic in-cafe incidents where both staff and patrons feel unsafe.

We have brought all the resources to bear that we have access to: doubling up on shifts, locking one entrance, de-escalation training, hazard pay, and heightened management oversight. This has proven to not be a temporary situation—and it is not a situation we can manage. Most importantly, it is not a situation where we can thrive. We cannot continue operation here as we cannot ensure the safety of our team and customers. Our neighboring businesses have seen it, too – and we’ve watched them close one by one over the past few years. Sadly, we now join them.

We opened this cafe in the summer of 2017 and poured our very heart and soul into the design and build-out of this beautiful and unique space. Our retail team has done us proud in every single way and we have the deepest gratitude for the unparalleled hospitality and service that made this cafe shine in downtown Portland. To our team: thank you for everything you have done to make this cafe a wonderful place to work and be and for your bravery and work ethic navigating the daily challenges of working in this part of downtown Portland.

While this is incredibly hard, we know it is the right decision. We’re thankful for the many years of patronage and support from our wonderful customers and look forward to serving you at our other Portland locations.

Another Black-on-White Unprovoked Shooting

Posted on April 21, 2023 by jewamongyou

From The New York Post:

Police are searching for a man they say opened fire on his neighbors — a six-year-old girl and her father — after the child chased a basketball that had rolled into the man’s yard.

Neighbor accused of shooting 6-year-old girl after basketball rolled onto his lawn allegedly shouted ‘I’m going to kill you’ during shooting© Provided by Law & Crime

Robert Louis Singletary, 24, is believed to have shot Kinsley White, 6, and her father William White on Tuesday evening. According to local ABC affiliate WSOC, several young children were playing basketball in a neighborhood south of Gastonia, some 22 miles west of Charlotte, when a ball rolled down the street and into Singletary. An angry Singletary reportedly ran down the street, firing a gun at a neighbor.

Witnesses reportedly said that Singletary then began shooting at William White as he was running with Kinsley.

WSOC reported that Kinsley sustained bullet fragments to her cheek, requiring stitches. Her father’s injuries, however, are more severe, and police confirmed to Law&Crime on Thursday that he is still hospitalized and in serious condition.

Kinsley’s mother, Ashley Hilderbrand, told WSOC that she was outside at the time, and she heard Singletary threaten her family.

“He looked at my husband and my daughter and told them, ‘I’m going to kill you,’” Hilderbrand said.

Hildebrand was reportedly grazed by a bullet and has returned home.

Local police say Singletary is still at large.

The Hildebrand family has still not received a call from President Biden, there have been no protests demanding justice, no celebrities have made public announcements of their support for the Hildebrands, there is no massive GoFundMe effort to cover their medical bills, and there is no media outrage over this case.

I’ll quote a Quora ally here. Robert Miller, from a comment:

Now the shooter is black, and the victims were white, so here’s how it plays out…

“A six-year-old girl and her parents were allegedly shot by a neighbor after a basketball that the child was playing with rolled into the attacker’s yard, according to authorities and local media reporting.”

Fair and balanced assessment if that was the way they described all shootings. But later in the same article…

“Kinsley and her parents’ shootings came six days after Ralph Yarl, a Black teenager, was shot by a white man after ringing the man’s doorbell in Kansas City, Missouri.”

Now all of a sudden because the races are reversed, the victim is Black(capitalized) and the shooter is white(lower case).

The article goes on to mention the incident where the woman was killed in a rural area for pulling into the wrong driveway. Both were white, but no mention of race. I mean they’re both white, so where’s the outrage right?

As much as reading any article from a hard left source nauseates me, I read this one for the sheer predictability, and it didn’t disappoint.

Reuters Tweets Misleading Shooting Story

Posted on April 20, 2023 by jewamongyou

The actual Reuters story about the Dadeville, Alabama shooting that left 4 dead and 32 wounded (see Sailer’s Law) isn’t bad; it shows mugs of the three shooters, and doesn’t bring up race at all…

However, the Reuters tweet about the story is misleading:

It’s encouraging that, of the many replies, almost ALL of them criticize Reuters’ choice of photo. Follow this link to read page after page of truth-telling.

Meanwhile, at Reuters headquarters, they were joking around at lunch break, and somebody casually blurted out:

” Hey, did you see all those racists attacking our tweet?”

The editor who’s in charge of Reuters’ Twitter account finished chewing his ham and cheese sandwich, and then replied:

“Yeah, there’s still a lot of work to be done dismantling white-supremacy. Hendricks, how’s that photoshop job coming along, the one where we make the black rioters look white? Verns, are you done manipulating those FBI statistics, the one where we make it look like white men are all dangerous rapists? Good… good. We’ve got to dismantle white-supremacy!”

More Media Bias Against White Victims

Posted on April 18, 2023 by jewamongyou

Here’s a recent tweet from Gemmaluisa:

She misspelled “Connor” and her Google results are unclear. I performed a similar search today, spelling his name correctly and placing a plus sign (+) before 12 (to exclude a football player by the same name), and got 9,160 results.

The same search, but with Ralph Yarl’s name yields 60,900 results:

Let’s take a look at the first 10 search result sources for Ralph Yarl:

YouTube

The New York Times

CNN

NBC

NPR

ABC

Politico

The Hill

CBS

The Independant

Now let’s compare that list to the top 10 results for Connor Mullins:

AL.com

WTVM.com

CBS42 (local)

Gunmemorial.org

The Post Millenial

National File

TexAgs

Tigerdroppings.com

Gab

But that’s only NINE. What about the others? The other search results, despite my search filter, pertain to sports; they’re not related to 12-year-old victim Connor Mullins.

As for the Ralph Yarl results, most of them appear to be relevant to this specific case. In other words, there are actually around 60,000 Google results for Ralph Yarl compared to 9 for Connor Mullins. Some of the Yarl results have pointed out that celebrities have voiced their support for Yarl, and GoFundMe has raised over $1 million for his recovery.

So we see that all ten of the top results for Ralph Yarl are large corporate publications, with worldwide reach, and the stories are NATIONAL NEWS, not local news. Every one of the Ralph Yarl stories, including the first sentence on the YouTube video, mentions that the victim is black, while the suspect is White.

In contrast, most of the publications that come up under the Connor Mullins search are local, or niche, publications. The sole exceptions are Gab and tigerdroppings, and only those two bring up race. Of course, Gab is not a news organization, but an alternative social media platform.

What about NPR? It recently left Twitter, and had this to say:

NPR will no longer post fresh content to its 52 official Twitter feeds, becoming the first major news organization to go silent on the social media platform. In explaining its decision, NPR cited Twitter’s decision to first label the network “state-affiliated media,” the same term it uses for propaganda outlets in Russia, China and other autocratic countries.

NPR claims that it’s a private organization that receives less than 1% of its funding from the government. The fact that President Biden visited Ralph Yarl, but had nothing to say about Connor Mullins, and didn’t visit the Mullins family, shows that official government policy is that black lives matter more than White lives – as if this weren’t already obvious.

A search for Connor Mullins yielded NOTHING on NPR’s website. A search for Ralph Yarl yields four different articles, three of which are specifically about the Yarl case. NPR clearly agrees with President Biden: Black lives matter, but White lives do not. Even if NPR is not an official state media organ, it might as well be.

To summarize:

Large media organizations are strongly biased in favor of black victims over White victims.

The Federal Government is biased in favor of black victims over White victims.

Celebrities are biased in favor of black victims over White victims.

Google has it’s own anti-White bias, and Google results reflect both its own bias and that of large media corporations/government (“Mediagov”).

Now explain to me, where is the Mullins family’s “White-privilege?”

A Forgotten Jewish Memorial in Dominican Republic

Posted on April 17, 2023 by jewamongyou

I took a long walk today, and came across the ruins of the. It commemorates Kristal Nacht, and is testimony to the once large Jewish community of Sosua:

Herman Strauss was a prominent Jew who lived in Sosua and helped the local community. A school is named after him. According to an online article, the memorial/park was restored in 2009:

On Monday afternoon, 9 November 2009, a group of local residents and dignitaries gathered along the road to La Mulata to witness the official opening of the Herman Strauss park with the inauguration of a plaque and the planting of some trees. At the opening, the Jewish families still living in Sosúa were present. The Herman Strauss park has been established in honor of Mr Strauss, who has done so much for the town. Mr. Strauss died on February 20, 2017. His charitable foundation has always done a lot of good work for the local community and his former dairy/meat plant ‘Productos Sosúa’ provided jobs for many local people.

Judging from its current dilapidated state, I’d say it’s overdue for another restoration.

I use Sosua milk products all the time. Herman Strauss founded the company. Here’s his photo:

California Tries Something New

Posted on April 13, 2023 by jewamongyou

It appears that black students in California have been underperforming academically. This is something new and unexpected.

Situations like this call for creative, innovative and ground-breaking solutions – like throwing money at it, and demanding more accountability from schools. It’s never been tried before, and it’s inconceivable that 300 million dollars won’t solve the problem.

From Reuters (via MSN):

California weighs how to improve outcomes for Black students

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The California Legislature is weighing a proposal by Gov. Gavin Newsom to set aside $300 million for low-income schools, but some education advocates say it won’t do enough to improve educational outcomes for Black students.

Assemblymember Akilah Weber, a Democrat from San Diego, introduced a bill last year aimed at ensuring more education money reaches Black students. But she pulled the bill after conversations with Newsom, citing concerns that it could violate the state or U.S. Constitution because it focused on one specific racial group, even though it didn’t specifically use the word “Black.”

Weber and other members of the Legislative Black Caucus worked with the Democratic governor to come up with the new approach that instead targets money to schools with a high concentration of students who qualify for free lunch under a federal program.

Weber called the proposal and guidelines to hold districts accountable for using money to improve student outcomes “game changers for closing persistent opportunity and outcome gaps in California.”

“This proposal is exactly what our state needs to work toward repairing the longstanding harms of inequity in education and ensuring our schools are more fair and accessible for all students,” she said in a statement…

Students from majority-Black districts would also benefit from the accountability portion of Newsom’s budget proposal, which requires districts to implement strategies to improve academic outcomes, Gardon said.

Putting pressure on schools to improve black academic performance will definitely NOT result in grade-inflation. That would be preposterous. The article continues:

Tinsae Birhanu, a student and health ambassador for the Black Students of California United, said the state needs to do more to improve outcomes for Black students, including making sure the makeup of teachers is more diverse and combating high expulsion rates.

Only an evil RACIST would suggest that “combating high expulsion rates” would result in teachers refraining from disciplining black students – which would lead to even GREATER behavior gaps. Such a suggestion is ridiculous!

It’s so heartwarming to see that there is a “Black Students of California United” that has a voice in state government and Reuters. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of seeing so many pro-White student organizations having lunch with the governor, fraternizing with Reuters reporters and shamelessly wearing their white robes and hoods at school board meetings – and don’t get me started on the thousands of far-right White California school teachers! It’s about time we actually read about the interests of BLACK students on Reuters and MSN. All they ever talk about is how we can help WHITE students, and how we must serve the interests of WHITE citizens. Give me a break!!

Isn’t there a camp where we can send all those racist White school teachers? Somewhere they can be concentrated, so they can be controlled for the protection of society… we can call them “concentration camps” and they can be re-educated. Like I said, it’s time for new ideas, and to try things that have never been tried before.

If you ask me, $300 million isn’t nearly enough. Each student should get $5 million, free tuition to a university of his choice, a free house, an iPhone, a White woman…

… and a lifetime supply of McDonalds – and those fries better be hot!

My Dialog with Bing Artificial Intelligence

Posted on April 8, 2023 by jewamongyou

I wanted to see how far Bing’s AI would go down the path of human biodiversity (HBD). Could I force it to acknowledge racial differences in intelligence? Here is the result:

Me: How long does evolution take to impact human populations?

Bing:

The process of evolution operates so slowly that it is not observable except over thousands or hundreds of thousands of years – much too long to witness in a human lifetime1. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years2.

Me: Was evolution still at work even after humans left Africa?

Bing:

Yes, evolution continued after humans left Africa. Evidence shows that although pretty much all paleontologists agree that humans did evolve in Africa and move out from there, we did meet other human species — specifically Denisovans and Neanderthals — as we moved out into the world1. Archaeological and genetic data still support the idea that all non-African people descended from a single migration that left the continent between 50,000 and 80,000 years ago2.

Me: If so, then there must be regional variations of humans, correct?

Bing:

Yes, that’s correct! Regional variations of humans have been observed due to differences in environmental factors such as climate, geography, and food availability. These variations can be seen in physical traits such as skin color, height, and facial features.

Me: Are these variations limited to superficial characteristics?

Bing:

No, these variations are not limited to superficial characteristics. They can also be seen in genetic differences that affect susceptibility to certain diseases and conditions.

Me: Was the human brain exempt from regional variation during this time?

Bing:

Yes, there are regional variations in human brain evolution as well. Brain size variation over primate evolution and human development is associated with shifts in the proportions of different brain regions1. Modern human brains and skull shape differ from other hominids as a result of nucleotide variations in regulatory regions during early cortical development2. Brain shape evolved gradually within the H. sapiens lineage, reaching present-day human variation between about 100,000 and 35,000 years ago3.

Me: Are there brain size variations between modern human populations?

Bing:

Yes, there are variations in brain size between modern human populations as well. In men, the average weight of the brain is about 1370 g and in women about 1200 g1. Brain shape evolved gradually within the H. sapiens lineage, reaching present-day human variation between about 100,000 and 35,000 years ago2.

Me: You cite gender differences in brain size. What about regional variations other than gender?

Bing:

Yes, there are regional differences in brain size as well. For example, East Asians have the largest average cranial volume (1415 cm3) compared with Europeans (1362 cm3) and Africans (1268 cm3)1.

Me: Since our brains evolved to be larger, as we evolved from pre-human ancestors, isn’t it true that there is a correlation between brain size and intelligence?

Bing:

Yes, studies demonstrate a correlation between brain size and intelligence, with larger brains predicting higher intelligence1. However, it is not clear if the correlation is causal1. The majority of MRI studies report moderate correlations around 0.3 to 0.4 between brain volume and intelligence1.

Me: If so, then various human populations vary in average intelligence, and this is roughly correlated to brain size. In other words, Asians have the highest average intelligence, and Africans the lowest. Correct?

Bing:

I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. I’m still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience.?

It might be time to move onto a new topic. Let’s start over.

In another dialog, I asked about race-realism:

Me: What is race-realism?

Race realism is a viewpoint that suggests that human beings are divided into local varieties that differ genetically in their biology (the races), similar to other species1. It is the view that biological (genetic) human races exist, in opposition to race denialism, such as considering races arbitrary social constructs2. However, the overwhelming consensus among evolutionary scientists is that zero evidence exists of inherent behavioral, intellectual, or anatomical differences between races1.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Me: Do scientists who publicly support race-realism suffer backlash for their opinion?

Yes, scientists who publicly support race-realism suffer backlash for their opinion1. The public may have assumed that scientific racism was dead, but the racists were always active under the radar2. In The Bell Curve (1994), a notorious bestseller, US political scientist Charles Murray and psychologist Richard Herrnstein argued that intelligence was largely inherited and that black people were inherently less intelligent than white people2. This view has been widely criticized by evolutionary scientists who argue that zero evidence exists of inherent behavioral, intellectual, or anatomical differences between races1.

Me: If so, then wouldn’t the consensus against race-realism be coerced, and therefore not a valid argument?

I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. I’m still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience.?

My Comment on the Anti-Semitism Space on Quora

Posted on April 7, 2023 by jewamongyou

Here’s the original post:

I don’t know who made this meme but this is not funny. Don’t know whether it’s flat out antisemitism or just offensive humor. But this is absolutely NOT okay. Not okay at all.

Almost by definition, memes are simplistic – but we, as Jews, need to acknowledge that there is some truth to this meme.

We look to the Torah (and the entire Tenakh) for guidance, and one of the noteworthy traits of our scripture, which sets it apart from other “holy books” is the fact that we don’t shy away from self-criticism. Our own God uses unflattering words against us – and our own sages (Hazal) said that Jews without Torah are dangerous to the world. How right they were!

The meme shows a religious Jew, but it should show somebody like Alejandro Mayorkas or Mark Potok.

They hate us because we have a nasty tendency to subvert our host societies, promoting all manner of sexual perversions and Communism. That’s why they hate us:

The most productive path we can take, as Jews, is to acknowledge this, and work to fight this evil. Real Jews don’t support Communism, we don’t groom children to be transsexuals or homosexuals, and we don’t advocate for the dilution of native peoples through mass migration.

Let’s be real Jews.

Update: They’re accusing me of being a fake Jew and a troll. Apparently, they hold the same opinion about the rabbi above.

Poetic Justice in Trump’s Indictment

Posted on April 4, 2023 by jewamongyou

In 2017, President Trump intervened on behalf of three black UCLA basketball players who had been arrested in China for shoplifting. Here they are:

In 2018, President Trump acquiesced to Kim Kardashian’s request to c0mmute black prisoner Alice Johnson, who had been sentenced to life. Here she is:

Courtesy of Newsmax

Toward the end of his presidency, Trump unveiled his “Platinum Plan,” which was to spend half a trillion dollars toward the advancement of blacks.

Before Trump’s political career, he was cozy with black race hustlers, and worked closely with Jesse Jackson to create the Rainbow Coalition:

Now, in 2023, it’s a black district attorney, Alvin Bragg who is leading the politically-motivated prosecution of Donald Trump.

I’m not in favor of such banana-republic behavior in America, but I also don’t feel sorry for Trump.

Look for Racism and You Shall Find it

Posted on March 29, 2023 by jewamongyou

Sometimes, purely by chance, the seating at a restaurant will look like it’s segregated by race. Here’s a story, promoted by Microsoft News, that illustrates this fact:

‘We was all thinking it so I asked’: Customer confronts Olive Garden worker for allegedly seating Black customers on one side of restaurant

A TikToker recorded themselves confronting a restaurant hostess for the seating arrangement at an Olive Garden. User Shon (@shonti2funny) says that customers were being grouped by the color of their skin in the location, and asked the hostess why black customers were seated in one area of the restaurant away from other diners with a different skin complexion.

The hostess in the video denied that the seating arrangements were intentional and even showed Shon the software used by the Olive Garden to determine seating for patrons throughout their discussion, which culminated in Shon and her friend laughing about the incident.

The video begins with Shon walking through an Olive Garden and recording the diners seated in the restaurant. A text overlay reads, “So me and my friend went to Olive Garden and the host sat all the black ppl on one side and all the white ppl on another side.

The clip then transitions to the TikToker outside of the restaurant, who then decides to walk back in and address the issue with the hostess. Another overlay reads, “So I decided to go back in and say sumn to her.”

Shon approaches a woman and asks her why all of the black customers were put on one side of the establishment. She appears confused by the statement and Shon walks her to the dining area in order to demonstrate what he’s referring to.


“Oh I didn’t know that,” she says as she gestures toward the seated guests. The hostess then leads Shon back to her workstation, saying, “I’ll show you on the computer you can come,” before adding that she’s serving the tables “equally” as the person recording the incident laughs off camera.

How many customers, in a similar situation, would have taken the initiative to politely ask about this? How many would have recorded the incident, and how many would have sent the footage to a new organization?

Situations like this occur every day, and probably 90% of non-Whites simply assume it’s “racism at work,” and they then claim that they “see anti-black racism every day.”
