    Believing arabs are inherently violent is racist.

    The world's oldest continuously working webcam is being switched off after 25 years.

    The Fogcam was set up in 1994 to watch how the weather changed on the San Francisco State University campus.

    It has broadcast almost continuously since then barring regular maintenance and the occasional need for it to be re-sited to maintain its view.

    Its creators said it was being shut down because there were now no good places to put the webcam.

    Jeff Schwartz, who with Dan Wong set up the webcam, said it would go offline on 30 August.

    "We felt it was time to let it go," Mr Schwartz told the SFGate newspaper, adding that it was getting harder to find secure locations to put the camera so it had a good view of Holloway Avenue.

    Although Fogcam will be turned off, the website through which its stream is visible will keep on running.

    Mr Schwartz said he was inspired to set up the camera by what is believed to be the first-ever live webcam which was set up at Cambridge University in 1993 to watch a communal coffee pot. The Cambridge coffee cam was shut off in 2001.

    Back in 1994, Mr Schwartz and Mr Wong were budding programmers and used the webcam project as a way to practise coding and to get more familiar with early web technology.

    "It was just a little pet project that developed a life of its own," he told the paper. "People liked it so we kept it going."

    "Our webcam is a throwback to the early days of the internet when anyone could do anything," Mr Schwartz added.
    Set up in 1994, the weather-watching webcam in San Francisco will be shut off at the end of August.


    The world will not be the same anymore

    And our president shouldn't have acted like an ahole by strong arming their leader into refusing them the right to visit originally.

    Bottom line is don't be a-holes and request to go into people's country then act like an a-hole again after they tell you no because you're a-holes.

    Neither have Tlaibs grand parents anything to do with the Holocaust
    So what? Tlaib didn't give a **** about her grandmother (who she has never met since her birth). There was a bipartisan congressional delegation which went to Israel just two weeks ago but she and her fellow terrorist supporter refused to join it as there were rules which she refused to follow. She originally said her goal was to go to Palestine (there is no such place) and wanted to stat riots and advance the hateful Islamist BDS movement, when her lackeys wrote to Israel to ask for a visa she lied, claimed she wasn't there for political reasons, but then refused to do what he had written when Israel wanted to hold her to her lying word. She then lied again and claimed she just wanted to see her grandmother which she lied and said was like a second mother to her even though she had never once bothered to see her grandmother once in her life. Israel granted her a humanitarian visa to see her grandmother but said she could only do that and could not engage in any political activities which were illegal. Tlaib, ever a piece of dog ****, then changed her tune yet again refusing, because she never really cared about the grandmother she had never met and refused the visa terms. What a horrible and dishonest person.

    They talked about it on The Five and he's some quotes from the transcript.

    “The Five” remarked on the controversy at a staff meeting held at The New York Times on new ways to cover President Trump.

    Transcript of NYTimes staff member meeting shows someone saying that they pushed the Russia Collusion Conspiracy Theory and saying they should get back to responsible journalism. But the discourse turned to talking about how they would talk more about how Trump is racist and Trump supporters are racist but don't know it.
