A 3% annual risk does not translate to a 100% risk in the next 30 years. For such a smart guy, that's a pretty basic mistake to make, and just makes the public mistrust the "experts" even more when their predictions don't come true.
Why Are Democrats Misleading Us About Immigration
Just like the stock market rally having little to do with Trump's policies, the border crisis is not a result of Trump either. It's created almost entirely by external forces in other countries. He could order the border patrol to not lock any of them up, but that would just shift the crisis elsewhere. Congress needs to provide funding to get to a solution, be it a fence or more judges, or an uncapped immigration number. If Hillary were elected she would be having the same problems.

It's Not Okay
Actual racists only use these new symbols when the mainstream recoils in horror and labels the trolls incorrectly as racists instead of as trolls, or just ignoring them. I think many spreading the "it's ok to be white" slogan are trolls too. They enjoy seeing people freak out at a phrase that says nothing negative about anyone, but many people will read into it a hidden meaning. You can't discern intention in these cases, only assume based on your personal previous exposure. I seem to understand it as a response/analog to "black lives matter" which most people don't think secretly means white lives don't matter, and the posters think the disproportionate response is racial bias.
I agree with not accepting their usurping common terms and gestures, but I cannot accept ignoring what them mean by them. Just because I don't mean anything racist when I use the OK hand symbol, I'm not going to pretend the white supremacist assholes flashing it behind the black sports announcer wasn't blatantly a racist move. Thankfully, neither are the stadium owners who banned those people for life.
Recognizing their racist intentions is not the same as condoning their racist usurpation of language. Ignoring their racist meaning and usage is condoning it. I will call them out when I think they're being racist, which these people undeniably are. "It's ok to be white" is a slogan used EXCLUSIVELY as a racist taunt, not a factual statement of equality.
Don't ignore racism in an effort to deny it power, that doesn't work....it only allows it to fester and grow. Bright sunlight is the best disinfectant.
It's Not Okay
If you're keeping track, the hashtag/pound sign is now a nazi symbol as well.

This will never end, stop accepting their reality.
the video made clear why that, like the OK hand gesture, are racist.
Very Fine People On Both Sides, Lee Was The Best General
We say Venezuela's government is illegitimate and Maduro isn't President, but he's doing a pretty good impression of one so far(much better than the pretender Guaido), including commanding their armed forces. One can be a general without fighting for a legitimate government as well, commanding a large regular military unit is the defining characteristic. As far as citizenship, just saying you're renouncing it doesn't do the trick today, there's a specific process you have to go through(and some do for tax reasons) I don't know if the law was changed since the civil war, but just declaring yourself a rebel and non-citizen doesn't legally make it so today. There's a case in the news today the Trump admin trying to deny a woman ever was a citizen(born to a foreign diplomat) because they know just because she joined ISIS doesn't nullify her citizenship.

Very Fine People On Both Sides, Lee Was The Best General
If the US never recognized the confederate states, then wouldn't they say all the people in the south are still US citizens? Lee was a general, and an American, just not a general for the USA.
Where Are These "Good Cops" I Hear About?
only 5 years? That's what a normal person would get for stealing evidence and selling drugs alone. Should be 15 years minimum. Still getting special treatment as a cop.

My 4,566,300,000 Year Old Ring
I wish there had been an explanation as to why the pattern was invisible on the polished ring until immersed in the black liquid and coated by the brush.
MAGA Catholic Kids Mock Native Veteran's Ceremony
It's funny how sure people sound that they know what happened based on a few "media reports"(oops, turns out he's not a Vietnam Vet!). There's video out there, educate yourself people! The drummers did walk into the crowd of teenagers purposefully. The kids likely didn't even know he was part of a protest, just that he was getting in their faces and banging his drum. Some even sang along with him.
The description here "decided to surround and block, taunt, and threaten a native American veteran performing a ceremony" is all false.
Not wanting to self promote, but just sifted a full 1h 40m video with a lot more background context.
Biggest added context, there's a lot more racist and awfull stuff going on, the kids were the least of it. Additionally, the guy with the drum absolutely did approach the kids, not the other way around.

Woman Barely Saves Child From Out of Control Truck
He saw the white truck start pulling out into his lane and overreacted. Should have just hit the brakes and gone straight, let the driver who made the mistake pay the consequences, not some pedestrian on the other side of the road.
Looks like driver was texting or something and panicked when he saw the white truck that stopped at the bus stop and lost it.
