Is this the beginning of Charlie Baker’s second-term blues?
Looks like trouble up ahead, and remember back when he didn't have to worry and the Globe was touting the most popular governor in AmeriKa as a shining example of Ma$$achu$etts politics?
Advocates say RMV’s blunder points to bigger issues
The dismal driving history of the man charged with killing seven motorcyclists in a New Hampshire crash last month — coupled with bureaucratic failures in Massachusetts that allowed him to keep his license — highlight weaknesses in the state and federal systems designed to keep unsafe drivers off the road, industry experts and advocates said Tuesday.
“This crash is an example of a failing at all levels,” said Harry Adler, executive director of the Truck Safety Coalition, an Arlington, Va.-based advocacy group. “It’s a failure across the board.”
“If the system is not set up to prevent someone with this sort of record . . . from receiving a [commercial driver’s license], then it would appear the system needs a serious reevaluation,” said Jason K. Levine, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety.
But just in Ma$$, right, tribe members? I mean, all the other states did what they were supposed to and notified us. The DMV then boxed the stuff up without even looking at it.
Sadly, the Globe's focus on the unfortunate event and tragedy has now been revealed to be another agenda-pushing effort for more police state and possibly a Democrat governor. I guess in this case it is why waste an opportunity, like Emanuel and Rice once said.

"All-Afghan peace summit set for July, but on Taliban terms" by Kathy Gannon and Amir Shah Associated Press, July 2, 2019
ISLAMABAD — A surprise announcement by President Trump seemed to accelerate the expected time frame for US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan ahead of an all-Afghan peace summit planned for July 7-8 in Qatar. The gathering apparently will be held on Taliban terms as there will be no official Afghan government representation.
Trump told Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday that nearly half of all American troops have already been pulled out.
I haven't watched Tucker this week because I knew he would be on, but with about ten minutes to go last night he was blasting legal pot.
That pullout was expected to be announced as part of a time frame being negotiated by Washington’s peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, who is in the middle of talks with the Taliban in Qatar.
‘‘I’ve wanted to pull them out. And you know, I have pulled a lot out. We were at 16,000. We’re down to about 9,000, which a lot of people don’t know,’’ Trump said, according to the transcript of the interview shared with The Associated Press. ‘‘So we’ve reduced the force very substantially in Afghanistan, which I don’t talk about very much, and that’s OK,’’ Trump added.
Why not?
Actually ending some wars can only help you!
The Taliban’s spokesman in Doha, Suhail Shaheen, has said that talks with Khalilzad are focused on a timetable for withdrawal of US and NATO troops from Afghanistan.
No, no, no, no timetables!
That's what we have been told for 15+ years because it means all the enemy will have to do is wait us out!
Trump’s comments Monday would seem to contradict a statement made by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during a visit to Kabul on June 25. Pompeo said then that Washington had made no decision on a timeframe for withdrawal.
Oh, it's more gaseous spew from him where he will later back down, okay.
It would be nice if he knew what the hell is his administration's policy, huh?
Instead he's all caught up in the Nazi rally, I mean, Fourth of July militarism.
Trump also said in the Monday TV interview that he wanted to leave a strong intelligence gathering force behind in Afghanistan.....
That's when I aborted the talks, sorry.

"Protesters shut down traffic in Boston over detention centers"
[flip to below fold]
by Zoe Greenberg and Danny McDonald Globe Staff, July 2, 2019
A lively and fast-moving stream of about 1,000 Jewish activists and others shut down traffic in the heart of the city during rush hour Tuesday evening, chanting, singing, and drumming to protest immigrant detention in the city and across the country.
There can be no doubt about it being a Jewi$h agenda that is obsessively pushed by the Globe -- just as long as the sentiment isn't expressed towards Israel, its supremacist immigration places, or the captivity of Palestinian population.
Many of the demonstrators were young, wearing prayer shawls and head coverings, and drawing on lessons learned in Hebrew school and from relatives who survived the Holocaust to urge the Trump administration to “close the camps.” Lawyers and lawmakers have described the camps detaining migrants at the border as squalid and inhumane in recent weeks.
Not all of them:

Some are just fat skanks!
“When we grew up hearing the words ‘never again,’ it’s referring to a moment like this,” said Michaela Caplan, 23, one of the organizers of the event. She wore a Star of David necklace and, like many other attendees, said she had been moved to protest because of her family’s history. Her grandmother survived Auschwitz, and lost more than 30 family members.
Planned by a loosely connected group of Jewish activists who organized under the phrase “Never Again,” as well as the immigrant-rights group Cosecha, the protest was linked to an action in New Jersey on Sunday, when 36 activists were arrested outside of an ICE detention center. Both are part of a nationwide push by young Jews to protest immigrant detention in part by invoking a collective memory of Jewish suffering.

PROTEST
Continued from Page B1
“I think it’s particularly important for Jews, who face anti-Semitism, and have an ancestral history of trauma, to speak out on behalf of other people,” said Rabbi Becky Silverstein, who wore a prayer shawl and carried a shofar, a ram’s horn used during some Jewish holidays.
I think not only myself, but much of the rest of the world has had it with the whining, crying, victimhood card being constantly flogged, so fuck off.
Emilia Feldman, 23, of Chelsea, addressing the crowd, said, “I’m angry, are you angry?”
The crowd responded, “Yes!”
The rally was the second major protest in Boston against the detention of migrants in the past week, following a walkout by hundreds of Wayfair employees.
The Globe put that event in the deep freeze afterward, as I will with this pos slop because every paragraph flogs either the Holocaust or Jewish history, with the invocation of the Holocaust somewhat controversial because of the border “concentration camps.”
Holocaust

Jewish Holocaust

A national group of progressive Jewish activists doesn't think they are “at risk of overusing serious language” with all the hyperbole, and the surest sign of an approved protest is no one will be charged.
