Violence Runs In The Family

Being a radical, leftist lunatic apparently runs in Abdul El-Sayed’s family. The half-sister of the Michigan Senate candidate is a professor at the University of Chicago who has participated in anti-ICE protests and even allegedly assaulted a police officer. Her name: Eman Abdelhadi, a polarizing figure who works as an associate professor at the University of Chicago’s Department of Comparative Human Development.

A lesbian with a violent streak, Abdelhadi was arrested last year on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges after she allegedly attacked an Illinois state trooper. She and Abdul El-Sayed share the same mother, Fatten Elkomy, a psychiatric nurse who works in Missouri.

What a charming family they must be. Don’t you want to elevate them to the United States Senate after hearing this? This is just another warning sign about El-Sayed as a candidate. Here’s more from Fox News.

Why Settle Ukraine War Now?

Agreements regarding territorial exchange are the last lingering components to negotiating an end to the Ukraine War. That’s the assessment of John Mearsheimer, an international relations scholar at the University of Chicago.  Much of the underpinnings of a peace deal were already resolved at a prior conference in Istanbul, Turkey.

Steve Witkoff, the American Special Envoy to the Middle East,  believes resolving the conflict now offers the best chance for  success. “Territory” is the reason.

Under the current division of land, Russia would presumably get Crimea plus the four oblasts in the easternmost quadrant of Ukraine, around Donetsk. If the war went on longer, and Russia also seized Odessa, that would be a far more difficult territory to surrender. Not only the Ukraine, but much of the European Union would balk then.

Mearsheimer explains some of the parameters here in an interview with Aaron Maté on The Jimmy Dore Show.

Cancelled In The WOKEplace

Angry mobs have been a staple of protest throughout history, but now the intolerance has invaded the World Wide Web. Repeatedly outraged and vicious toward any dissenting opinion, online mobs are quick to censor and attack. Their goal: to get people who disagree with them fired. John Stossel discusses the issue with Robby Soave, author of Panic Attack: Young Radicals In The Age Of Trump.

Korean Summit a Success

The Korean Summit was a huge success, leaving critics of President Donald Trump sounding more stupid and vile as they try to deliver a negative spin around the events. They are going insane as they stretch further and further to deny reality. Trump won four concessions and gained a nice photo op. Styxhexenhammer666 explains.

On Fox Business News, Lou Dobbs interviews Presidential historian Doug Wead on why China must be very nervous about the North Korean summit.

“The media, particularly the American cable channels, have turned North Korea into a demonized pariah state and they’ve turned Kim Jong-un into a person they think is crazy. That’s rather unfortunate, but I come across it all the time.” — Bruce Cumings, the Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor in History, and former chair of the history department at the University of Chicago.

A renowned expert on Korea, he is also a frequent contributor to the London Review of Books, the Nation, Current History, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and Le Monde Diplomatique. His most recent book, released in 2010, is entitled The Korean War: A History. Lionel Nation offers his take on the Singapore summit and says history was made.
