Look at the chart the leads this report. How is it possible that this many Americans could possibly believe Hitler “had some good ideas”? The answer I think is that only one percent of the American population are involved with the military, most of the World War II veterans and their wives or husbands are dead. Americans are don’t know anything about war on their homeland, there has been no military violence in the United States in living memory. It also shows the failure of our educational system to properly cover the reality of history.
Adolf Hitler’s reign of terror led to the murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust and the darkest moments in history.
There is little debate the Nazi dictator is one of the most evil men to have ever lived, with unprecedented depravity against people he didn’t think worthy of living under the Third Reich.
Around 85 million people were killed during the Second World War, a devastating and bloody conflict sparked by his relentless pursuit of a global empire.
Yet, 79 years after he killed himself in a Berlin bunker, more than one in 10 (11 percent) of Americans believe the barbaric German tyrant leader had some ‘good ideas’.
A DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners poll found that more than one in five (21 percent) of both Gen Z and black voters and 19 percent of Hispanic voters agreed with the statement.
The survey asked 1,000 likely voters whether they think Hitler had some ‘good ideas’ or if he was ‘evil and had no redeeming features.’
77 percent said he was ‘evil’, 12 said they were ‘unsure’ and a surprising 11 percent believe he had some redeeming qualities.
I have been writing, and warning readers, about the “Constitutional Sheriff” movement almost since it began 20 years ago. The office of sheriff, the only elected law enforcement position in the U.S. is a leftover from medieval England that began in the American colonies before police forces were created. It has become a fascist largely White supremist authoritarian institution made up of almost entirely White men who believe they are the law above all other authorities. They are increasingly dangerous and, in my view, the office of sheriff should be eliminated in the United States, and these men should be disarmed and returned to being ordinary civilians. Here is the latest on this trend.

Sheriffs in the United States hold immense power. They arrest people on the streets they patrol, they run their county’s jails, and they enforce evictions. In many areas, they enforce immigration laws and conduct homicide investigations for municipal police departments in their counties.
Over the past two decades, some sheriffs have advocated for the notion of “constitutional sheriffs,” which holds that the sheriff’s authority supersedes those of local government, courts, state and federal legislatures — even that of the president of the United States. Several sheriffs in the movement have said they would not enforce some gun control laws and opposed COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
The self-identified constitutional sheriffs and their supporters are the subject of “The Highest Law in the Land,” journalist and lawyer Jessica Pishko’s investigation into a world where sheriffs have the ultimate power. […]
The Israelis are committing genocide using American bombs while Joe Biden stands by and watches. I think history will treat this as his greatest failure as a President, and as a human being. I think it is essential that Kamala Harris separate herself from Biden’s position, and she only has three weeks to do it.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Friday joined human rights organizations and the foreign ministers of major countries in condemning the Israeli military’s targeting of U.N. peacekeeping forces stationed in Lebanon, where Israel has killed more than 2,000 people in bombings and ground attacks in recent weeks.
“This incident is intolerable and cannot be repeated,” said Guterres after the U.N. Interim Peacekeeping Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)—an international body of more than 10,000 military and civilian personnel from dozens of countries—issued a statement accusing Israel of “deliberately” targeting the operation’s positions. UNIFIL has been present in southern Lebanon since 1978.
On Thursday, UNIFIL said, “two peacekeepers were injured after an IDF Merkava tank fired its weapon toward an observation tower at UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura, directly hitting it and causing them to fall.” The two injured soldiers were from Indonesia.
“Indonesia strongly condemns the attack,” Retno Marsudi, the country’s foreign affairs minister, said in response. “Attacking U.N. personnel and property is a major violation of International Humanitarian Law.”
Global outrage soon followed, with the top diplomats of Spain, France, Italy, China, Turkey, and other nations issuing statements forcefully condemning the attack.
One of Trump’s wives is on record as saying that he kept Hitler’s Mein Kampf on his bedside table and read it regularly. As I watch and read the day’s news I think she was telling the truth, because Trump is doing and saying exactly what Hitler said and did in order to come to power. I am surprised so few journalists seem to recognize this, and comment on it. But here is one that did.

At a recent rally, former President Donald Trump used language in a speech that echoed Adolf Hitler, comparing his political opponents to “vermin.”
“We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country,” he told a New Hampshire crowd.
There were other nods to authoritarianism in the speech. Trump praised Hungary’s strongman leader: “The head of Hungary – very tough, strong guy – Viktor Orban,” Trump told the audience, adding approvingly, “He didn’t allow millions of people to invade his country.”
Later on, Trump referred to himself as “a very proud election denier.”
Authoritarian rhetoric has been central to Trump’s political trajectory – and his time as president. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, professor of history at NYU and author of the book “Strongman,” defines authoritarianism this way:
“It’s when the executive branch and the leader find ways to take away checks and balances,” she said. […]

I have been telling you this was coming for several years, and now it is here. I think we are going to begin seeing internal migration out of Florida, driven by climate change itself, as well as what it is doing to the insurance industry.

Some Florida homeowners are reevaluating their costs and comfort with risk post-Hurricane Helene.
One seller near St. Petersburg slashed the asking price on their home, which was flooded, by 40%.
Some weigh whether homeownership in Florida is worth it given the high cost of both insurance and homes.
Days after Hurricane Helene devastated Florida and four other states, Compass real-estate agent Alexis Smith-Frady is picking up the pieces in her own home.
More than three feet of water flooded her 1,400-square-foot bungalow in Bradenton, she said, adding that a FEMA inspector who visited deemed it unhabitable.
Now, she’s bouncing between hotels until she figures out a more permanent solution.
“We have kind of a two-level house — it’s not a two-story, but there are two levels,” Smith-Frady told Business Insider. “The top level was spared last year with Idalia, and then this year it got our entire house.”
She said she did not have flood insurance for the first 11 years […]
There is so much weaponized misinformation about the economy being spewed out by traitor Trump and his MAGAts that it was important to give you some actual facts. It’s good news.
The Consumer Price Index rose 2.4% in the 12-month period that ended in September, while a gauge that strips out food and energy prices was 3.3%, the government said Thursday.
Why it matters: The September CPI report is the latest data indicating that the inflation crisis is in the rear view mirror, with few signs of price pressures reigniting.
By the numbers: The September CPI figure, the smallest increase since February 2021, compared to the 2.5% increase in the year ending in August.
Core CPI, meanwhile, ticked up from August.
On a monthly basis, the CPI rose 0.2%, the same as the two prior months. Core CPI—excluding food and energy—also held at 0.3%.
What to watch: The Federal Reserve, once squarely focused on cooling inflation, has pivoted its focus to the labor market.
The central bank cut interest rates by a half-percentage point last month—the first time officials lowered rates since 2020—with the intention to protect the job market that looked to be wobbling.
Some Fed officials are still wary about inflation getting stuck below the Fed’s 2% target and keeping a close watch […]
