The Rijksmusem has come under fire for removing words such as 'negro', 'Indian' and 'dwarf' from their roster

When is this crap going to come to an end?

Here's another "fine" example and a crying shame:

"All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn." - Ernest Hemingway 

So what happens:

Huck Finn Expelled From Middle School

When I was a kid Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn were mandatory reading!

A leading museum has decided to rename any artworks that have titles which are deemed to be offensive. 

In a move which is designed to get rid of the words given by non-whites to others, pictures in the digitised gallery of more than 220,000 will be targeted in the Adjustment of Colonial Terminology.

Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum has announced the project , which involves all 12 curators, and will replace words used with less 'racially charged' teminology, reports the New York Times . 

For example, the 1900 painting 'Young Negro-Girl' will now be called 'Young Girl Holding a Fan'.

This artwork by Simon Maris (c.1900) features

in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam

and has been renamed

'Young Girl Holding a Fan' from 'Young Negro Girl'

Who gave them the authority to do this? If any distant relatives of Simon Maris are still living they should take this to court. When a painter produces a work of art they have the right to call it whatever the hell they want. If you don't like it don't look at it. You just can't arbitrarily change history because it doesn't suit your taste!

Remember this?

Martine Gosselink, head of the history department at the Rijksmuseum, said: "We Dutch are called kaas kops, or cheeseheads, sometimes, and we wouldn't like it if we went to a museum in another country and saw descriptions of images of us as 'kaas kop woman with kaas kop child,' and that's exactly the same as what's happening here."

Since the project started a month ago, about 200 descriptions have been identified and altered.

Other words which will be eradicated include 'Hottentot' - a name given by Dutch people to the Khoi people in South Africa meaning 'stutterer' - and 'Mohammedan' - an old word for Muslim once used by the West.

Since the story was carried in Dutch newspaper Het Parool, there has been critcism, but Gosselink says it's essential.

"In the Netherlands alone, there are a million people deriving from colonial roots, from Suriname, from the Antilles, from Indonesia, and so on that basis alone it's important to change this."

Look who's talking about "endangering national security”

John Kerry says Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims 'endangers national security'

Secretary of State John Kerry says that Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims from the United States "endanger national security.”

"It exhibits an attitude by one American who is running for the highest office of our land about a willingness to discriminate against a religion," he said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

"It seems to me that Mr Trump's statement is wholly and totally without recognition of the true American spirit and values and certainly tolerance."

Secretary Kerry also said the proposal was a “very dangerous foreign policy."



His legacy.

"It says to those in Islam who are trying to exploit people and recruit foreign fighters and otherwise, it says look, look at America. Here they've got a guy running for president who is waging war against Islam," Secretary Kerry said on CBS News' "Face the Nation.”

"It's exploitable, whether he intended it or not. And it allows for recruitment. It allows for America to seem like it is indeed discriminatory against Islam, against Muslims."

They also said Gitmo was a recruiting tool for terrorists so they released them a dime a dozen.

And it paid off. Here and abroad terrorism is down to zero!

He also chided Republicans for opposing the climate change agreement that was signed by nearly 200 nations around the world.

"I don't believe you can be elected president of the United States if you don't understand climate change or you're not committed to this kind of a plan," he told ABC, predicting that the American public would not elect a presidential candidate who denies the science of man made climate change.

"I don't think they're going to accept as a genuine leader someone who doesn't understand the science of climate change and isn't willing to do something about it."

THROUGH THE ROOF Calif. gun sales soar after San Bernardino massacre

CEO and Executive Vice President of the NRA

--------------------------------------------

Gun sales in California spiked in the days after the deadly Dec. 2 terrorist attack in San Bernardino, in spite of having some of the strictest gun laws in the country – with as many as 6,000 guns being sold a day in the days after two jihadists massacred 14 people.

Figures provided by the California Department of Justice to FoxNews.com show that in the four days after the massacre, there were 20,664 sales, compared to only 12,649 from Nov. 29 to Dec. 2.

In November, with the exception of a typical surge around Thanksgiving, there were few days that saw more than 3,000 sales a day, and no days that saw 4,000+ sales. However, after the shooting, there were 6,108 sales on Dec. 4, 6,558 on Dec. 5, 4,500 on Dec. 7 and 5,763 on Dec. 8.

The California Attorney General’s office told FoxNews.com that the numbers do reflect gun sales, although roughly 1-2 percent of all sales are later denied for reasons such as criminal histories.

While the AG’s office noted that they frequently see an increase in sales at the end of November and throughout December, the numbers are still significantly higher than in December 2014, which saw 16,443 sales in the same time period.

The increase in sales is part of a wider trend across the nation, with gun groups and store owners saying that gun sales surge after mass shootings, both out of a desire for self-protection from shooters, and fears of politicians infringing on their Second Amendment Rights.

Numbers from the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which can be used as an indicator of sales, and show that there were significant spikes in background checks after the December 2012 Sandy Hook massacre, the July 2012 movie theatre shooting in Aurora Colorado, and the November 2009 Fort Hood massacre. There have been 19.8 million checks through November this year, and 2015 is on pace to break the record.

The White House has said it is looking at how President Obama could use executive orders to reduce gun violence, and Obama himself has called for legislatures to do more to tackle the issue.

“Americans know that President Obama’s foreign policy has made us less safe and they are taking personal responsibility for protecting themselves and their families,” Jennifer Baker, director of NRA Public Affairs, told FoxNews.com.

“It is unfortunate that the President continues to exploit a terrorist attack on US soil to push a gun-control agenda that will only make it harder for law-aiding citizens to exercise their constitutional right to self-protection and do nothing to stop criminals or terrorists," Baker said.

Toni Wellen, chair and founder of the Coalition against Gun Violence in Santa Barbara, California, told FoxNews.com that stocking up on guns won’t make households safer.

“If more guns made this country safe we would not be having over 30,000 gun deaths a year, and most of those gun deaths are not mass shootings that people are responding to, but most gun deaths occur within homes and among families,” Wellen said.

Wellen also rejected the idea that Americans Second Amendment rights were at risk.

“I think that it is a method that the NRA uses because they want to push gun sales,” she said. “The concept that is being sold is that you’d better get your gun or they’re coming to take your gun away. Gun violence prevention is about gun violence prevention, not about gun control. No-ones taking away people’s guns.”

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest was asked about the recent national spike in gun sales Thursday, and while he wouldn’t speculate as to why Americans across the country were buying more guns, he called the surge in sales “tragically ironic.”

“There are a variety of reasons why people might do that. I guess I’m just pointing out that there are already an astonishing number of guns on the streets of America, and far too many innocent Americans who are being killed by them,” Earnest said. “So the idea that our reaction to innocent Americans being killed by guns is to dump 185,000 more guns onto the streets of America is tragically ironic.”

I Think More Muslims live in Minnesota then Syria

 In Minnesota barely a month goes by without hearing about some sort of Muslim uprising. 

Maybe they should change their license plate from "10,000 lakes" to "10,000 mosques".

MN even has a Muslim in Congress.

 No not the abortion loving Catholic on the left. He's the one on the right swearing in on the Quran.

Keith Ellison staying true to form.

Receiving the  >Sowing The Seeds Of Islam Award< for getting most of the 5.5 million morons who live in Minnesota to vote for a Muslim Democrat over a Republican.

Allah Akbar!

Minnesota man accused of threatening FBI agents on social media

A Minnesota man was charged Friday with threatening FBI agents on social media after the arrest of a friend on charges of conspiring to help ISIS, and authorities say the man had hopes himself of traveling to Syria.

Khaalid Adam Abdulkadir, 19, posted two separate threats on Twitter after the arrest of his friend, Abdirizak Mohamed Warsame, 20, of Eagan, according to a criminal complaint. He was charged with one felony count of impending and retaliating against a federal law enforcement officer. FBI agents arrested Abdulkadir on Friday.

Khalif Adam Abdulkadir, 19, who has been charged with retaliating against a federal officer after threatening to kill FBI agents over Twitter. Abdulkadir is the eleventh person to be arrested in connection with an alleged extremist recruitment pipeline in Minnesota.

Abdulkadir, of Minneapolis, wrote messages that included the words “kill them FBI” and “I’m kill them FEDS for take my brothers,” according to court documents. Investigators were able to take screen shots of the tweets before they were eventually deleted. 

Makes you wonder. Were they born here? 

“I’m kill them FEDS for take my brothers” indicates they were not... or went to school in Chicago.

Abdulkadir is being held without bail until his next hearing on Wednesday. Judge Becky Thorson granted his request for a federal defender after he said his income is just $1,200 a month and only has about $56 in the bank. It was unclear what his job was.

"While there are many legitimate means in the United States to voice dissent and difference of opinion with our government, threatening violent retaliation against federal agents is both illegal and outrageous," U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said in a statement.

The 19-year-old has been on authorities’ radar, according to an affidavit from an FBI agent. The document claims Abdulkadir was in contact via Twitter with a Minnesota man, Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan, also known as “Miski,” who left in 2008 to join the extremist group Al-Shabaab in Somalia and was known for tweeting jihadist comments. The messages they exchanged in January indicated Abdulkadir was interested in getting to Syria, the affidavit says. The State Department said Monday that Hassan had turned himself in to authorities in Somalia on Nov. 6; Hassan has claimed he was captured.

In January, the affidavit says, Abdulkadir also "liked" an old tweet posted by Hanad Mohallim, a former Minnesotan who the affidavit says was reportedly killed in November 2014 while fighting for ISIS in Syria. And it says he exchanged messages via Facebook in May 2015 with Abdi Nur, a Minnesota man who traveled to Syria a year earlier to fight for the group, showing "an aspiration" by Abdulkadir to travel to Syria to be with him.

The affidavit also alleges Abdulkadir was part of a group of young men who videotaped a deputy U.S. marshal from about two feet away through a window on the ground floor of the federal courthouse in Minneapolis after the initial court appearance of one of six men arrested April 18 on charges of conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State.

Roughly 22 young men have left Minnesota since 2007 to join Al-Shabaab in Somalia; about a dozen Minnesota residents have traveled to Syria to join jihadist groups there since late 2013.

Abdulkadir's case has parallels with that of another Minnesota man, Mahamed Abukar Said, who was charged with two felonies for tweeting "ima whack that us attorney general" after the arrests of the six men in April. Said pleaded guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge last month and faces a maximum of a year in jail plus supervised release and probation when he's sentenced later this month.
