Fiona Hill: ‘Open civil war’ possible if Trump elected in 2024 because Dems will see win as ‘illegitimate’

One Man's Civil War Is Another Man's Target Rich Opportunity...

Former Democrat impeachment witness Fiona Hill stated on national television last week that a civil war will erupt in America if Republicans retake the White House in 2024 with former President Donald Trump at the helm.

Speaking late last week on PBS, a publicly funded national broadcaster, she was asked to explain her dubious claim that “democracy’s done” if Trump wins reelection.

“What I mean by that is that he is basically trying to come back again on the basis of a lie. He has repudiated the outcome of the 2020 election, and yet he’s expecting to be reelected in 2024,” she said.

“So that is the main thesis, that is the main propelling force behind his bid for reelection. So just that basic fact of how he is campaigning is in itself a massive problem, because he is rejecting the democratic system and the outcome of the 2020 election.”

What campaign? Trump has not yet announced his candidacy for 2024. Moreover, he would not be the only person to be elected into office who’s questioned the legitimacy of a prior election.

As recently as 2013, current President Joe Biden, a Democrat, claimed that losing 2000 presidential candidate Al Gore “was elected president of the United States of America,” as reported at the time by Yahoo News.

No, actually, he was not. President George W. Bush was elected president.

Listen to Hill’s remarks below:

She was then asked if she believes, “in the scenario where [Trump] runs again in ’24 and is justly elected, democratically elected through the Electoral College, that his presence in the White House means democracy is done?”

“Well, this will be on the basis of a minority rule because we’re already seeing in key swing states, that there are efforts being made by Republican political leaders to constrain the votes of...

Somali Cop in Minneapolis Gets Less Than Five Years for Killing an Unarmed Woman

Welcome to migrant privilege.

We hear a great deal about “privilege” in America these days, but the truth is that those who are supposed to have it do not, and those who claim to be marginalized are actually the elites. Anyone who doubts this should study the case of Mohamed Noor, the Somali Muslim migrant cop in Minneapolis who shot an unarmed woman, Justine Damond, to death. His murder conviction was recently overturned, and now he has been sentenced to less than five years in prison for manslaughter. Despite the appalling leniency of this, some people are enraged that he got that long a sentence. Of course. The privileged expect their privileges to be unstinting.

The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Noor’s sentence was “the most the judge could impose but less than half the 12½ years he was sentenced to for his murder conviction that was overturned last month.” Noor “was initially convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter in the 2017 fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a 40-year-old dual U.S.-Australian citizen and yoga teacher who was engaged to be married. But the Minnesota Supreme Court tossed out Noor’s murder conviction and sentence last month, saying the third-degree murder statute didn’t fit the case because it can only apply when a defendant shows a ‘generalized indifference to human life,’ not when the conduct is directed at a particular person, as it was with Damond.”

Oh. Yeah, sure. In other words, “We wanted to make sure this guy didn’t serve hard time, and we found a way.” This was because Noor is a member of a privileged victim class: “Noor, who is Somali American, was believed to be the first Minnesota officer convicted of murder for an on-duty shooting. Activists who had long called for officers to be held accountable for the deadly use of force applauded the murder conviction but lamented that it came in a case in which the officer is Black and his victim was white. Some questioned whether the case was treated the same as...

A new voice added his blazing warning about the future of America’s economy as the Biden administration began a retreat from its predictions that inflation was a tiny blip on the radar of happiness.

Inflation has been hitting Americans since the summer, with prices rising on a wide range of goods.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey offered his dire two cents on Friday.

“Hyperinflation is going to change everything. It’s happening,” he wrote to his 6 million Twitter followers.

“It will happen in the US soon, and so the world,” he also wrote

CNBC defined hyperinflation as “a condition of rapidly rising prices that can ruin currencies and bring down whole economies.”

Hyperinflation has often used in modern discussions in connection with Venezuela.

A 2019 report from CNBC crystallized the impact of hyperinflation on that nation.

It said that at that time, Venezuela’s hyperinflation rate was 10 million percent, with hopes of declining below 1 million percent. The report said that in six years, the cumulative decline of the country’s economy was 65 percent...

The Scent Collector Is A Serial Killer...

Kurt Cobain reportedly read Patrick Süskind’s tale of a serial killer born without body-scent but gifted with hypersomia (an exceptional sense of smell) around ten times in his short life. Cobain felt that re-reading the novel help him deal with hypochondria and joked that he’d had to start borrowing ideas from literature as he was beginning to run out of fresh ones of his own. That’s hardly fair, of course, as the strange, disturbing themes at play here mesh perfectly with the abstruse content of In Utero and weirdly reflect the grunge icon’s own disconnect from society. The book, originally published in German, deals with the titular perfume apprentice ‘collecting’ the exceptional natural perfumes of certain young women and certainly makes for a fascinating read.
