“Senior Political Correspondent” Hasan Minhaj and Trevor Noah of The Daily Show are co-creators. After another man-made catastrophe, Minhaj, an American Muslim and Noah unveiled a name for White terrorists: “White ISIS” or “WISIS.” They pointed to the ugliness of terrorism, which somehow becomes more tolerable when a White male suspect is the perpetrator.

The “WISIS” agent who killed 50 in New Zealand’s oldest city was intentional about his crimes. Don’t sleep on the fact that this third rate philosopher committed his atrocities on innocents in a town called Christchurch. He didn’t pick this spot without forethought.

Choosing Christchurch was his sick attempt at creating a “double entendre.” Most White Supremacists swear they’re God‘s chosen vessel for dominance and preeminence in the world. The mass assassination of defenseless Muslims by a “powerful White man” in a seaboard city called Christchurch was no happenstance.

At the risk of repeating this for the 211th time, Chris Rock bears repeating: “I’m not worried about Al Qaeda. I’m going to Al Cracker.” The complexity of detecting and disarming WISIS members is multifaceted and Americans from beige to blue-black need to be cautions.

Here is something I wrote in December 2016, before Trump and his inaugural gang scattered $103,000,000 that they still can’t fully account for.

“As someone who studied Marcus Garvey and his Pan-African movement, I see some potential alliances forming. Trump in America, Brexit in England and Putin in Russia could be the stitch point in the fabric for a “Pan-European” quilt…A “reconstruction” of global White supremacy and colonialism of sorts.

Garvey and his followers simply wanted to end the global oppression of dark-skinned peoples. Trump et al appear to want to unify White peoples all over the world while simultaneously taking control of the economic, military and political systems. It may sound far-fetched, but totalitarianism and colonialism are in Europe’s DNA.”

Now eavesdrop on what Trump said to Breitbart. He actually tweeted a link to the Breitbart article but deleted it a few hours after the massacre in New Zealand.

“It’s so terrible what’s happening. You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny. I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay?

I can tell you, I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad. But the left plays it cuter and tougher.”

What miffs me, like it did my Black grandmother, is a chump who throws a rock and hides their hand. Notice how Trump always finds refuge behind people and symbols that are considered taboo or too sacred to take on.

Trump understands that any questions or concerns on patriotism and the flag, the national anthem, the police, the military, first responders or Jews, becomes a virtual mine field. It requires so much finesse that most let the argument slide. Trump is good at lobbing grenades and then conveniently cradling a baby when it’s time to return fire.

In my neighborhood they call that a “Bitch move” but I’ll leave that nomenclature to your own cultural biases.

Trump is equally skilled at pointing out the usual suspects; Blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, Immigrants and “Liberal Whites.” He has used newly elected U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar like he uses the flag. “Grumpy” Trump is the consummate race-baiter and culture provocateur.

CBS News made the epidemic plain. “ISIS inspired their flock online and White Supremacists do too. Far-right attacks in Europe jumped 43 percent between 2016 and 2017. In the U.S., right-wing extremists were linked to at least 50 murders last year, a 35 percent increase over 2017.”

You can call them Pan-Europeanists. You can call them WISIS. But hostile White terrorists in America and abroad must be called out. Grumpy Trump won’t, so we must!!

How to Use Credit Wisely

(NewsUSA) – As the holiday season approaches, more people are out shopping, searching crowded stores and online promotions for the best discounts, and using their credit cards to pay for it all. But beware the financial dangers of credit use — how you pay for these deals could safeguard your budget or lead to debt. […]

A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional can help you guard against costly credit mistakes, paving the way for a financially sound festive season and beyond. Learn more about how to use credit in a way that works for you with the insights below.

Choose Your Credit Card Wisely

Whether you’re shopping for holiday gifts or purchasing necessities like groceries, the credit card you use can make a big difference. There are several factors to consider:

  • Interest Rates. Rates generally run from 21-33%. The standard bank card charges at the low end of the range, and retailer credit cards (those typically with the store’s name on them) charge as much as 33%.
  • Cash Back. Among the best deals are bank cards that offer cash back ranging from 1-4% of your purchase.
  • Rewards Points. Some cards have rewards programs where you earn points that you can redeem for products or services. They may seem attractive but are worthwhile only if you’re actually interested in the rewards offered.
  • Cash Discounts. While retailer credit cards have the highest rates, some offer big cash discounts at the point of purchase. That may be the only time they’re worth using.

Improving Your Credit Score

Boosting your credit score can help you qualify for the lowest available interest rates on auto loans, personal loans and mortgages. If you can, pay the full balance when your credit card bill arrives. But most importantly, never miss a payment. Paying on time not only avoids late fees, but also is a key factor in improving your credit score. The easy way to ensure timely payment is to set up automatic online payments.

A CFP® professional can help you develop other strategies to save money while improving your credit profile, including the following:

Establishing Credit

Lenders offer credit to people with a long and reliable credit history. Most young adults don’t have one. There are various ways to obtain credit, but steer clear of debit cards that claim they can help you build a credit history. When you consider the costs and requirements, they’re usually no bargain. You have better and cheaper options for establishing credit. Here are three of them:

  • Get a secured credit card.
  • If you have a student loan, make sure you’re up-to-date with payments.
  • If you pay rent, ask your landlord to report your on-time payments to the credit bureaus.

The choices we make in managing credit can have a lasting impact on our financial journey. As you navigate the complex credit landscape, remember that CFP® professionals can offer tailored guidance for your unique circumstances. Whether it’s identifying strategic debt payments, exploring balance transfer options or establishing credit responsibly, a CFP® professional can provide a roadmap for achieving your financial goals.
