Jeff Sessions accused of making racist comments 35 years ago

Senator Jeff Sessions, who is reportedly a leading candidate to be Attorney General or Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration, has been accused in a front page article in The New York Times of making racist statements 35 years ago.

One African-American prosecutor testified that Mr. Sessions had called him “boy” and joked that he thought that the Ku Klux Klan “was O.K. until I found out they smoked pot.”

Mr. Sessions denied calling the lawyer “boy” but acknowledged or did not dispute the substance of the other remarks. Mr. Sessions said his comment about the Klan was meant as a joke and said it was so preposterous — especially since he was in the middle of prosecuting a case involving the group — that he thought nobody could take it seriously. Asked whether he ever said the N.A.A.C.P. hates white people or was “a commie group and a pinko organization,” Mr. Sessions said he could not recall specifically saying that. “I am loose with my tongue on occasion, and I may have said something similar to that or could be interpreted to that,” he testified.

This is obviously an effort by the left-wing Times to torpedo what could be the most conservative major nominee for the Trump cabinet. My thoughts on Sessions and his alleged comments? If Jeff Sessions really were a racist, someone would be able to bring up comments that are less than 35 years old. He's been a public figure for a long time. If he's been saying racist things, we would have more recent reports than that. If no one can even claim he's said anything so terrible in 35 years, the whole thing is a non-issue.

On the other hand, if Jeff Sessions had received contributions from a group with terrorist ties like CAIR in 2006, as soon-to-be DNC chair Keith Ellison did, I would be more alarmed. If he had said that Barak Obama was the first "clean" black man to run for President, as Joe Biden did as recently as 2007, I would also be concerned. If he had voted for a former KKK leader for Senate Majority Leader for years, as Democrats did with Robert Byrd, I also would be concerned. These would be not only more recent but more serious actions.

But since Sessions is a Republican, and a conservative, the Times holds him to a different standard. Remember when the Times promised to "rededicate" its efforts to honest reporting the other day? This is the result

Hate crimes against Muslims rises to slightly above zero

The Muslims-are-victims propaganda mill has been operating in overtime ever since Donald Trump won the presidential election. Not a day passes without a story about a young Muslim child being told that Donald Trump hates Muslims and their lives will be full of discrimination and hatred. Continuing with that theme, the media has breathlessly reported a 67% increase in hate crimes against Muslims in 2015. That's a big increase! That probably means the absolute number of alleged hate crimes against Muslims must be some huge number, like... 50,000? 20,000? 10,000? At least 5,000?

Stephen Bannon appointment triggers surge of Whiteophobia

Stephen Bannon's appointment as Chief Strategist for Donald Trump has triggered a disturbing surge of Whiteophobia in the media. Whiteophobia is the irrational fear of white people, and the fear that white people might do you harm, even in a white majority country where Asian and African-like massacres, rapes, and genocide are unknown; even in a country where tens of millions of non-white immigrants flood through the borders; even in a country where white rulers have been doing their best for decades to make America as non-white as possible thorugh unchecked immigration.

Why Obama's legacy is so easily reversible

It brings a smile to my face to read one article after another detailing how President Obama's legacies can be so easily undone by Donald Trump. The reason why so many of Obama's initiatives can be undone is because so many of them were done without authorizing legislation. Obama acted unilaterally and the Congress, composed of timid Republicans, never mustered up the courage to object.

I was struck how Donald Trump, in his first ever meeting with President Obama, remarked how he was supposed to have met with Obama for only 15 minutes but actually met with him for an hour and a half. What, I wonder, did they talk about? We'll never know for sure, but here's what I think Obama said to Trump:

A must-read: Muslim Trump voter unloads on Democrats and radical Islam

For a long time I've been critical of the Muslim community, much of whom seems to revel in victimhood status even when it's clear that they are not the victims of anything. Meanwhile a substantial number of their coreligionists are slaughtering people by the thousands, including, from time to time, Americans, and they don't seem to have any public opinions about that.

Hijabis furious over TSA patdowns

Under Sharia Law, unrelated men are not allowed to touch veiled women (unless they are sex slaves being raped, or women being beaten for walking outside the home, or women having their clitorises cut off). You can therefore understand why Sharia-compliant hijabis are outraged at being pat down by the TSA when they go to board planes.
