Richmond, to be precise. From a regular reader. 

I haven’t written a book about the racist Right for 15 years, but that’s about to change. Stay tuned.

So, yes, I despair.  Trump, the explosion in hate, all of it.  So I turn to Joe and the boys, as always, for solace and salvation.  The best song ever, the song that changed my life.  Truncated, but truer now than ever before.  Last part, especially.

Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator

Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
And if they’ve got anything to say
There’s many black kids here to listen

But it was Four Tops all night, with encores from stage right
Charging from the bass lines to the treble
But our place ain’t got no roots rock rebels
Our place ain’t got no…roots, rock, rebels

Dress back, jump back, this is a bluebeat attack
’cause it won’t get you anywhere
Fooling with your guns
The British Army is waiting out there
An’ it weighs fifteen hundred tons

White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution

Punk rockers in the UK
They won’t notice anyway
They’re all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting

The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got Burton suits, ha! You think it’s funny
Turning rebellion into money

All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler was here today
They’d send a limousine anyway

The haters, meanwhile, are as ugly as ever.

I think @HillaryClinton is as lovely now as before. While those mocking her looks are ugly, inside and out. #uspoli https://t.co/JE1uxqVuvW

The Trump Virus spreads, again. 

The 88 means "Heil Hitler." The 14 is the 14 words: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children." #ottnews https://t.co/Qbt6iv9nmU

More pro-Nazi graffiti in Ottawa. This time at Parkdale United Church, with a black minister and significant black congregation. #ottnews pic.twitter.com/ko4C14IAgz

…and I intend to wear across Canada, as well as in rural, all-white areas in Florida,  Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. If they still let registered Trump-hating liberals past their wall, that is. 

Oh, and Hillary will end up with two million votes more than Trump. Minimum.

You seem to have a problem.

Below I wrote about the attack on an Ottawa synagogue.  It almost immediately drew a response from someone who seemed to dismiss/defend the attack:

There was no problem when “Pussy riot” went into Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior and desecrate a very prestigious place of worship now was there?. In fact they were treated like heroes back here and had an audience with some very prominent individuals Hillary being one of them.

That comment came from “Shawn,” at Sh9368@telus.net. I checked his IP, 131.137.245.206, as I sometimes do with offensive types.

For the third time in less than a week, a swastika has been spray-painted on a Jewish place of worship. Police are investigating after the Nazi symbol was left on the front doors of Congregation Machzikei Hadas, a synagogue at 2310 Virginia Dr. near Featherstone Park. Other Nazi-related graffiti and slurs were painted on walls.

With a president-to-be installing a neo-Nazi sympathizer in the White House, the beast is now fully awake. Even in far-away Ottawa.

This synagogue, by the way, is the very place that my brother Bernie Farber and I spoke at a couple years back.  Hundreds of people were there.  And I can tell you this is a place where children go, every day.

Before that, I covered organized neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Ottawa for years, as a journalist and an author.  This attack doesn’t shock me – Ottawa has always had a far bigger problem with anti-Semitism than other cities where I’ve lived, like Vancouver and Calgary. But this cowardly act of evil leaves me feeling both outraged and depressed.

But don’t give up! Fight back! And remember: this is why Ottawa’s police service has a bias crimes unit, and that’s why you should contact them if you see or hear something that falls within their mandate.

In the meantime, things are unfortunately going to get a lot worse.  The sonofabitch isn’t in office yet.

This:

Donald Trump may push through a controversial registry for immigrants from mostly-Muslim countries without seeking congressional approval, a member of his transition team has said.

Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state and adviser to Mr Trump said the president-elect’s immigration team are drafting executive orders that would allow the new White House to secure the rapid construction of wall along the border with Mexico.

This is National Socialism. Oppose it.

Was listening to Hole on the way in, now listening to London’s Yassassin. I’m still in the mood for grrrl power. We boys mess everything up.
