I scanned the headlines over my first cup of coffee this morning, and thought, \u201cNothing New.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then it hit me I\u2019ve become inured to the humdrum normalcy of protests, active shooters and people being insane.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m amazed how quickly that happens.<\/p>\n

Black Lives Matter are still protesting. Even with the addition of Jesse Jackson and the events in Chicago, their protest didn\u2019t even cause a twitch on my radar. I still believe that as a group they\u2019re pretty irrelevant, their point is overblown, and the movement itself is built on a narrative of lies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ironically, the one shooting that BLM might actually have a valid point about is the Chicago shooting. Unfortunately, their constant droning over black men that actually did take the cops on, and lost<\/em>, has overshadowed potentially valid<\/em><\/u> cases of police crossing the line. Which suggests that there are probably not as many cases of \u201cCops gone wild<\/em>\u201d in the United States as the BLM movement would have us believe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>An active shooter in a planned parenthood clinic in Colorado didn\u2019t cause much of a twitch on my radar. What did catch my attention was that LAPD heightened security around all Planned Parenthood Clinics in Los Angeles. Uhh LAPD I think, regardless of what the Southern Poverty Law Center would have you believe, Pro-Lifers are probably not as likely to execute co-ordinated terrorist attacks as say, Daesh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The insanity on US college campuses isn\u2019t causing any twitches either. There have been reports of \u201cTroll\u201d sites setting up White Safe Spaces on the internet. Turns out the \u201cTroll\u201d sites are actually real. Many of them have been set up by non-white students out of concern for their white friends, who have weathered hostility and have no places to even discuss their<\/strong> concerns or feelings.<\/p>\n

The investigation into the Paris attack continues. Brussels was locked down for much of the week. Sweden and Norway have announced that they are going to reduce the number of refugees they accept. Since Sweden is at maximum capacity, I was wondering how they\u2019re going to accept anyone else at all. Then I read Swedish authorities are considering renting cruise ships to house the refugees. Once again, I wonder if I could be a refugee. Cruise ships? Ski Resorts? Beautiful forest retreats? Sounds like a nice situation to me.<\/p>\n

The thing that blows my mind about all of this is how easily and quickly so much becomes\u2026 if not unimportant, relegated to the background noise of our lives.<\/p>\n

I suppose it\u2019s a function of the over-saturation of media in our lives. That\u2019s what I hope it is, I\u2019d hate to think that I can become jaded after just a few news cycles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
