De-romanticizing America's immigrant past:
"....The first “illegal” immigrants were people, like the Chinese, who were banned from entering the U.S. The Chinese Exclusion Act passed in 1882. Over the years, immigration laws were passed that restricted certain categories of persons from immigrating, but no numerical limitations or quotas existed. Those persons barred from immigrating included Asians (except Japanese and Filipinos), prostitutes, paupers, polygamists, persons with “dangerous and loathsome contagious disease,” persons likely to become a public charge, anarchists and radicals, the “feebleminded” and “insane,” and the illiterate. The vast majority of people who arrived at a port of entry were allowed to enter. Of course, some people lied about their health and political beliefs and entered “illegally.” The Immigration Service excluded only 1 percent of the 25 million immigrants from Europe who arrived at Ellis Island between 1880 and World War I."

Anecdote time!
Speaking of our awesome and compassionate public health system that is the envy of the world (so I'm told), three months ago I sent in a fax to the knee specialist who performed surgery on my torn ACL about 25 years ago. One of the screws never dissolved and it's a (sometimes painful) nuisance I decided needs removing. I was told if the doctor feels it's a priority I can expect a call quickly (inside three months. Yup, in Canada three months is 'quick') if not....
I guess I'm not a priority as it's basically getting on past the three month period. I left a couple of messages asking to get an idea - it would be too demanding to get a firmer answer of course so I tepidly accept a 'ball park' idea like any third world individual would - when I should expect a call for a date.
No one called me back and nor do I expect a call back.
I will have to keep calling and hope I get my hands on the secretary.
Now that's accountability in health!
Alas, we Canadians accept it because, well, I'm not sure why except maybe for a deep rooted irrational and misinformed fear about not being American or some shit.

Tamir Rice trial:
"Sims concluded in his report that Loehmann’s actions were “objectively reasonable” due to his stated belief that Rice was holding a real firearm and posed a threat. Crawford wrote that the shooting “falls within the realm of reasonableness” defined under the US constitution. McGinty said his office was “not reaching any conclusions” from the reports and would present all evidence to a grand jury."
What a crock of shit. How anyone can conclude this watching the video is beyond me.
The cops over reacted and killed that child.
I reject this disturbing notion that parents shouldn't let their kids play with toy guns in public as well as the idea that people must comply. Even if they don't, it doesn't justify a shooting.

Speaking of police abuse.
"On Friday, Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha was found not guilty of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and misdemeanor obstruction of a government administration.

Speaking of liberal preachisms enter notable *Native* American politician Elizabeth Warren and her lack of self-awareness:
Still with Warren, the title - 'Elizabeth Warren’s Intellectual Purge' - of this WSJ article caught my eye more than anything since it's behind a paywall but it did make me think of think of the nomenklatura.
Who were they?
"...a category of people within the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries who held various key administrative positions in all spheres of those countries' activity: government, industry, agriculture, education, etc., whose positions were granted only with approval by the communist party of each country or region."

From the appropriately named Linda Stasti:
"One terrorist group is responsible for more civilian deaths since December 2012 (the Sandy Hook massacre) than Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Hamas and the Taliban. Yet it is the only nearly-state sponsored terrorist group that is not listed by the U.S. State Department as such.
It is the National Rifle Association and for their unending lobbying that’s kept a lid on gun control we now have 428 times more American deaths by gun than deaths by foreign terrorists.
No? Between 2012 and 2015, according to University of Maryland’s Global Terrorism Database, ISIS has murdered approximately 12,138 civilians, Boko Haram,10,092, the Taliban 9,427 and Hamas, 85."
Yes, because the NRA calls on its members to kill people; never mind the heinous torture and rape those terrorist groups engage in.

"Germany is struggling to cope with the 1.5 million migrants it expects to absorb this year and those arriving in Berlin often have to wait days if not weeks to be registered at asylum centres.
The group of twenty who have decided to sue claim they have had to wait more than a week. Their “urgent application” has been confirmed by a court spokesman, Die Welt reports.
The court spokesman said the plaintiffs were seeking to “put pressure on the authorities” by bringing the case, and the court would issue a ruling in the coming days. The spokesman said that the incident was just one of several similar legal cases brought by migrants over the past two weeks."
I don't think they grasp how this works.

More weird and confused assertions from an aimless Obama administration. This from John Kerry:
"...Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday called for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step aside. Kerry said violence could end after a ceasefire “if one man would merely make it known to the world that he doesn't have to be part of the long-term future, he'll help manage Syria out of this mess, and then go off into the sunset as most people do after a period of public life.”

What do I think about the Volkswagen emissions scandal?
Meh.
Diesel engines are awesome and I'm glad I leased a TDI.
VW got caught and should pay the necessary fines but I hope it stops there and we don't go over board with hyper reactions. The problem is they did it under a U.S. administration all too willing to make "an example" of companies. Already people have lost their jobs because of the U.S. and its hard nosed stance.
From TTAC:
"It is no surprise that environmental activists are staging protests in reaction to the Volkswagen emission scandal. Members of Greenpeace marched last week outside the VW plant in Wolfsburg, Germany. Somewhere in America, we are sure someone will print off one of those red and white pro-union banners saying “Shame on XYZ Volkswagen” and plant themselves in front of a VW dealership.
But to shame a TDI owner who is possibly already miffed knowing his car may be dropping in value — and possibly gas mileage and torque after the emission fix?
Portland resident Rick Gencarelli found the following note under the windshield wiper of his Jetta TDI over the weekend:
“It’s ridiculous. And very funny, and very Portland,” said Gencarelli in the clip above.
Kudos to Gencarelli for laughing it off, but would you?"

The Nation feels Obama is a 'foreign policy grandmaster.'
He has an awkward way of conveying it.
Within the spectrum of American state power, he has slowly shifted from the coercion of war, occupation, torture, and other forms of unilateral military action toward the more cooperative realm of trade, diplomacy, and mutual security—all in search of a new version of American supremacy. "
Hm. Libya was an act of aggression without Congressional approval and wanted to do the same in Syria where he had to retreat from his 'red line' threat. What's the good professor going on about?
