Washington Post Writer Quickly Uses Brussels Attacks as Platform to Slam Trump
NewsBusters ^ | March 22, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 03/22/2016 10:06:37 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

The terror bombings in Brussels occured at about 3:00 AM EST. Therefore Washington Post writer Philip Bump had only about a couple of hours after he woke up today to use these acts of terrorism as a platform to rapidly type up an article about his real obsession in this matter, Donald Trump, when it was posted at 9:25 AM EST. You will search his story in vain for any expression of sympathy for the victims. The closest Bump comes is mentioning that dozens were killed in the first sentence, the same sentence he uses to launch his Trump attack:

Muslim Inbreeding: Impacts on intelligence, sanity, health and society

The consequences for offspring of consanguineous marriages are unpleasantly clear: Death, low intelligence or even mental retardation, handicaps and diseases . . . anti-social behavior . . . inbreeding among Muslims has severe implications for both the Western societies and the Muslim world.
There is no doubt that the wide spread tradition of first cousin marriages among Muslims has harmed the gene pool among Muslims. Because Muslims’ religious beliefs prohibit marrying non-Muslims and thus prevents them from adding fresh genetic material to their population, the genetic damage done to their gene pool since their prophet allowed first cousin marriages 1,400 years ago are most likely massive. The overwhelming direct and indirect human and societal consequences have been explained above.

The Connection Between Muslim Inbreeding and Terrorism

Research published in The Journal of Aggression and Violent Behaviour has proven a connection between suicide bombers and depression and physical handicaps (BT, December 15th 2010 “Why most terrorists are useless”). Research suggests that many suicide bombers are suffering from depression, and their actions are just a socially accepted (among Muslims) way of committing suicide in order to end their mental torment.

The best way to honor the victims is to go Hiroshima against the bastards and associates that killed them.

Apparently what this guy wants instead is moments of silence, candlelight vigils, and warnings against Islamophobia.

Brings to mind this..
“You know the old saying -— A radical Muslim wants to kill you; a moderate Muslim wants a radical Muslim to kill you.”

Makes perfect sense. Trump says Muslims not welcome because they blow stuff up and kill people. Offended Muslims respond by blowing stuff up and killing people. Trump’s fault.

NATO allies “have to put up more money,” he said. “We are paying disproportionately. It’s too much, and frankly it’s a different world than it was when we originally conceived of the idea.”

The Leftist mindset that wants to see Americans lose their independence, as free and sovereign peoples, hates Trump as a threat to a sixty+ year campaign to undermine American sovereignty. (Or how else does one explain the strange preferences in the Teddy Kennedy immigration law of 1965; or the Clinton/Blair war on Serbia in the 1990s, carried on in a way to keep NATO relevant, by intervening as an internationalist force in a sovereign nation's civil war; or the insane Dean Rusk Foreign policy in the 1960s, where we wreaked havoc on African peoples seeking the right of self-determination.)

I believe that Trump's "sin" to these wackos is that he offers Americans a chance to save their heritage.

To better understand the dynamic process unfolding in the Trump campaign, here is my analysis of the man of the hour: Trump: Metaphor For American Conservatism.

Fact Check: The Washington Post’s Philip Bump Has a Credibility Problem

by JOHN NOLTE 10 Dec 201538
http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/12/10/fact-check-the-washington-posts-philip-bump-has-a-credibility-problem/

In the course of just one week, while taking on two of the most controversial issues in our body politic, The Washington Post’s Philip Bump has twice been caught lying. Saturday, in an effort to boost Barack Obama’s call to restrict our Second Amendment civil rights, Bump used mass-shooting stats so phony that even the gun control extremists at the New York Times felt compelled to debunk them.

On Monday, as part of the Washington Post’s never-ending quest to destroy Donald Trump, elect Hillary Clinton, and cover for Barack Obama, Bump went to hysterical lengths to dismiss and downplay poll numbers that tell the disturbing truth about the state of Islam. Let’s start with his lies about guns.

In his headline, and using the terror attack in San Bernardino to boost the case for gun control, Bump told his readers that “[t]he San Bernardino shooting continues a disturbing trend: No week since 2013 without a mass shooting.”

This is such a brazen lie that the same New York Times that published a gun control editorial on its front page this week felt the need to correct it:

On Wednesday, a Washington Post article announced that “The San Bernardino shooting is the second mass shooting today and the 355th this year.” Vox, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, this newspaper and others reported similar statistics. Grim details from the church in Charleston, a college classroom in Oregon and a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado are still fresh, but you could be forgiven for wondering how you missed more than 300 other such attacks in 2015.

At Mother Jones, where I work as an editor, we have compiled an in-depth, open-source database covering more than three decades of public mass shootings. By our measure, there have been four “mass shootings” this year, including the one in San Bernardino, and at least 73 such attacks since 1982.

Bump’s left-wing zealotry hits its zenith over Donald Trump’s call for a temporary halt of Muslim immigration. In his statement calling for the pause, Trump cited polls backing up his claim that Islam is a serious problem here in American and throughout the world.

Here is how Bump chose to describe the poll results:

The polling firm has found that [1] Muslims across the globe are overwhelmingly opposed to the Islamic State and [2] in 2007 that Muslims were much less likely to view suicide bombings as justified than five years prior. Pew also found a partisan split in which Republican Americans were far more likely to hold negative views of Muslims than Democrats. In 2011, they learned that [3] U.S. Muslims almost never consider suicide bombings to be justified.

The only effective way to expose what a brazen liar Bump is, is to take these one-by-one. Bear with me.

“Muslims across the globe are overwhelmingly opposed to the Islamic State”
There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world. Throughout the world. According to the poll Bump links to but hopes his readers will not think too much about, anywhere from 1% to 14% of Muslims view ISIS favorably.

In other words, millions and millions of Muslims view ISIS favorably, and in service to Barack Obama, Bump spins that terrifying fact as “overwhelmingly opposed.”

“[I]n 2007 … Muslims were much less likely to view suicide bombings as justified”
There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world. Throughout the world. According to the polls Bump links to but hopes his readers will not think too much about, of the 16 countries polled, anywhere from 8% to 42% of Muslims view suicide bombings as justified.

In other words, tens of millions of Muslims view suicide bombings as justified, and in service to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Bump spins that horrifying number as “much less likely.”

“U.S. Muslims almost never consider suicide bombings to be justified.”
There are close to three million Muslims in the United States. According to the poll Bump links to but hopes his readers will not think too much about, only 81% of U.S. Muslims say that suicide bombings are never justified. One-percent say they are often justified; 7% say sometimes; 5% say rarely.

In other words, close to a half-million AMERICAN Muslims do not agree that suicide bombings are never justified, and in service to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Bump spins that spine-chilling fact as “almost never consider.”

When confronted with these facts Wednesday, Bump replied with snark:

Turning 4 mass-shooting into more than a hundred… Using rhetorical tricks to cover up very disturbing truths about Islamic extremism, is not journalism, not bias, and not even spin. Bump’s lies, the lengths to which he and the Washington Post are willing to go to cover up inconvenient facts, are outright Orwellian.

Washington Post hires ultra-liberal former union bully and nobody bats an eye BRENDAN BORDELON 04/22/2014 http://dailycaller.com/2014/04/22/washington-post-hires-ultra-liberal-former-union-bully-and-nobody-bats-an-eye/#ixzz43fAq5Wxo On Monday, The Washington Post announced it had hired Philip Bump, a journalist currently at Atlantic magazine’s The Wire, to cover politics for their daily blog The Fix. The move set off a chain of congratulations from across the political press corps. But lost in the media love fest was Bump’s partisan past — a history left unspoken in either the Post’s official announcement or any of the Twitter applause. Not only does Bump’s archive at The Wire betray a palpable bias in favor of progressivism; his career as a journalist began when he headed a vicious pro-labor blog which published the names and addresses of opponents later targeted by unions. “We’re excited to announce that Philip Bump ​will be joining The Fix team,” the Post’s public relations team trumpeted Monday afternoon. “Bump has written about politics and the environment at Grist and has contributed to The Daily Beast, The Atlantic, The Daily and Huffington Post.” The Post’s announcement added that Bump is a former designer at Adobe Systems, a participant in Americorps and a veteran of several political campaigns in Silicon Valley, California. But what were these political campaigns? According to the political blog San Jose Inside, in 2009 Bump worked for the South Bay Labor Council (SBLC), a Silicon Valley-based union group with a penchant for making the political personal. Cindy Chavez, the group’s former chief executive, frequently targeted political opponents and local journalists who dared to stray from her preferred storyline. Bump, for his part, was SBLC’s political director and administrator of “San Jose Revealed,” a pro-union website which published vitriolic hit pieces against the Council’s perceived enemies. Although the website was run anonymously, San Jose Inside discovered Bump’s connection through an examination of electronic evidence and two sources who alleged the SBLC made payments to him. Under his direction, “San Jose Revealed” published the personal address — obtained under spurious circumstances — of a frequent target of pro-union groups. This individual’s home was later vandalized, with property destroyed and defiled with swastika graffiti. Bump also reportedly published a map to the house of a deputy district attorney who prosecuted violent Bay Area gangs for a living, shamed a local business owner’s daughter for an unpaid garbage bill and posted the Match.com dating profile of an opposing local politician. While Bump may have moderated his tactics after he began working at more mainstream media outlets, he still wore his liberal politics on his sleeve. A cursory review of even his most recent articles for The Wire — one mocking former Republican governor Jeb Bush’s bank account, one admittedly “trolling” the conservative Heritage Foundation for “making Obamacare work,” still another suggesting inherent racism in the Republican Party — reveals a talented writer with an unapologetically progressive bent. Past articles show a proclivity to wax apocalyptic about the scourges of global warming and gun violence, with one piece excoriating Americans who fail to take the “gigantic problem” of climate change seriously and another advocating forced scarcity of bullets as a way to work around Second Amendment protections. This isn’t necessarily a problem in and of itself; many journalists betray open partisanship, and Bump’s pieces appear to be well-written and logically consistent. But for a paper like the Post, which prides itself in objectivity (particularly in its political reporters), it’s noteworthy how little attention was given to their newest hire’s sharp left-wing bent. Contrast that with the Post’s hiring of Robert Costa, another recent Post employee poached from the conservative National Review. Despite Costa’s utterly objective reporting on the Republican Party — he never wrote an editorial or column for National Review and took care to express that he’s not on the “conservative team” — his hiring last fall was met with surprise by those who never expected the Post to take on even a perceived conservative journalist. Newsbusters called it “perhaps the first time in decades that a top-tier ‘mainstream’ news outlet has hired away a reporter from a right-leaning publication.” And on the other end of the spectrum, Esquire Magazine noted that Costa “came up through the various nurseries of the longtime white-supremacist journal, National Review.” Unlike Bump, almost no one ignored the ideological component of Costa’s hiring. In the same Esquire piece, Charles Pierce writes that although Costa’s reporting on last fall’s government shutdown was impeccable, he still “await[s] the first national political reporter that the Post hires from, say, The Nation.” With Bump — who once contributed to the ultra-liberal Mother Jones — Pierce’s wait appears to be over.

Washington Post hires ultra-liberal former union bully and nobody bats an eye

On Monday, The Washington Post announced it had hired Philip Bump, a journalist currently at Atlantic magazine's The Wire, to cover politics for their daily blog The Fix.

The move set off a chain of congratulations from across the political press corps.

But lost in the media love fest was Bump's partisan past -- a history left unspoken in either the Post's official announcement or any of the Twitter applause. Not only does Bump's archive at The Wire betray a palpable bias in favor of progressivism; his career as a journalist began when he headed a vicious pro-labor blog which published the names and addresses of opponents later targeted by unions.

"We're excited to announce that Philip Bump ​will be joining The Fix team," the Post's public relations team trumpeted Monday afternoon. "Bump has written about politics and the environment at Grist and has contributed to The Daily Beast, The Atlantic, The Daily and Huffington Post."

The Post's announcement added that Bump is a former designer at Adobe Systems, a participant in Americorps and a veteran of several political campaigns in Silicon Valley, California.
