      LA schools adopt radical ‘trans affirming’ agenda to attack ‘gender binary’  (Fox 07/22/2022)
• 
... has adopted a radical gender-theory curriculum instructing teachers to work toward the "breakdown of the gender binary," to experiment with gender pronouns such as "they," "ze," and "tree," and to adopt "trans-affirming" programming to make their classrooms "queer all school year."
• 
... administrators hosted workshops with presentations on "breaking the [gender] binary," providing children with "free gender affirming clothing," understanding "what your queer middle schooler wants you to know," and producing "counter narratives against the master narrative of mainstream white cis-heteropatriarchy society."
• 
The narrative follows the standard academic slop: white, cisgender, heterosexual men have built a repressive social structure, divided the world into the false binary of man and woman, and used this myth to oppress racial and sexual minorities.  Religion, too, is a mechanism of repression.
• 
... administrators asked teachers to identify themselves by race, gender, and sexual orientation, and to consider their position on the identity hierarchy.  The district then encouraged teachers to "avoid gendered expressions" in the classroom, including "boys and girls" and "ladies and gentlemen," which, according to queer theory, are vestiges of the oppressive gender binary.
• 
Administrators also warned teachers that they might have to work against the families of their minority students, especially black students, regarding sexuality.  "The Black community often holds rigid and traditional views of sexual orientation and gender expression."
• 
The Human Relations, Diversity, and Equity department has flooded the district with teaching materials, including, for example, videos from the consulting firm Woke Kindergarten encouraging 5-year-olds to experiment with gender pronouns such as "they," "ze," and "tree" and to adopt nonbinary gender identities that "feel good to you." The district requires teachers to use a student's desired name and pronoun and to keep the student's gender identity a secret from parents if the student so desires.
• 
... Los Angeles public schools can facilitate a child's transition from one gender to another without notifying parents.  And the district is far from neutral: it actively celebrates sexual identities such as "pansexual," "sexually fluid," "queer," "same-gender-loving," and "asexual," and gender identities such as "transgender," "genderqueer," "agender," "bigender," "gender nonconforming," "gender expansive," "gender fluid," and "two-spirit."
• 
In one of the district's own materials, "Mental Health Among Transgender Youth," the Human Relations, Diversity, and Equity department cites a survey by Mental Health America pointing out that, among 11-to-17-year-old transgender youth who were screened for mental health issues, 93 percent were at risk for psychosis, 91 percent exhibited signs of posttraumatic stress disorder, 90 percent likely used drugs and alcohol, 90 percent experienced moderate-to-severe anxiety, and 95 percent experienced moderate to severe depression.

The teacher tells students that "many people feel like they aren't really a boy or a girl" and that they should "call people by the gender they have in their heart."
• 
Students are encouraged to "break the binary," reject the system of "whiteness," and study photographs of black men in dresses and a man wearing lipstick and long earrings.
• 
"It is a myth that gender is binary," the lesson explains.  "Even though we are all given a sex assigned at birth, you are not given your gender.  Only you can know your gender and how you feel inside."
• 
At the end of the lesson, students are instructed to write a letter to the future on how they can change society.  "Society right now is very unfair," reads a sample letter.  "I see a lot of marches on the T.V.  and I even went to a march last summer."
      DC elementary school gave 4-year-olds ‘anti-racism’ ‘fistbook’ asking them to identify racist family members  (Fox 05/02/2022)
• 
"As part of this work, each student has a fist book to help continue the dialogue at school and home.  We recognize that any time we engage topics such as race and equity, we may experience a variety of emotions.  This is a normal part of the learning and growing process.  As a school community we want to continue the dialogue with our students and understand this is just the beginning."
• 
"If you are a white person, white privilege is something you were born with and it simply means that your life is not more difficult due to the color of your skin."
• 
"Put differently, it's not your fault for having white privilege, but it is your fault if you choose to ignore it."
• 
The "Fistbook for Kids" says anti-racism "isn't a spectator sport" but requires "being loud, uncomfortable, confrontational and visible to ensure change is made."
• 
A series of questions in the book asks children, "Where do you see racism in yourself?  This requires true soul-searching.  Be real with yourself, don't feel guilt/shame and own it.  It's the first step in becoming an anti-racist."
• 
Under a section titled, "How to deal with racism from loved ones," the book teaches children that "just because someone is older than you doesn't mean that they're right all of the time."
• 
"If someone doesn't believe that people should be treated equally based on the color of their skin, then they are the problem.  Parents need to stop making excuses for that behavior if they truly believe in anti-racism."
• 
"Who in your family has racist beliefs?  Do you think you can change their ways?  What is your strategy for dealing with them?"
• 
"If you hate Kaepernick now, you'd hate Dr.  King if he was alive today.  And do you know what's funny?  In 50 years from now, white people will probably talk glowingly of Kaepernick as they are with Dr.  King now.  Stop using his quotes to benefit your racism."
• 
"DC Public Schools provides joyful and rigorous academic experiences for our students and is committed to advancing educational equity."

      New Jersey to require 2nd graders learn about gender identity in fall, alarming parents  (Fox 04/07/2022)
• 
According to the standards, New Jersey students should, by the end of second grade, understand the "core ideas" that all "individuals should feel welcome and included regardless of their gender, gender expression or sexual orientation."
• 
Additionally, the standards listed "performance expectations" for second graders, which includes discussing "the range of ways people express their gender and how gender role stereotypes may limit behavior."
• 
One school district in the state distributed sample lesson plans indicating first graders could be taught they can have "boy parts" but "feel like" a girl.
• 
"Gender identity is that feeling of knowing your gender.  You might feel like you are a boy, you might feel like you are a girl."
• 
"You might feel like you're a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘girl' parts.  You might feel like you're a girl even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘boy' parts."
• 
"And you might not feel like you're a boy or a girl, but you're a little bit of both.  No matter how you feel, you're perfectly normal!"
• 
The objectives for this second grade lesson include having children be able to "identify at least four body parts" from female and male genitalia, and for students to describe "why it is important for them to know the correct names for the genitals."

      Disney wants to share its radical sexual politics with your underage kids  (Fox 03/31/2022)
• 
In the wake of Florida's Parental Rights in Education legislation, which prevents public schools from promoting gender ideology in kindergarten through third grade but which critics call the "Don't Say Gay" bill, Disney executives organized an all-hands meeting earlier this month, called the "Reimagine Tomorrow Conversation Series," and pledged to mobilize the entire corporation in service of the "LGBTQIA+ community."
• 
Executives recruited the company's most intersectional employees, including a "black, queer, and trans person," a "bi-romantic asexual," and "the mother [of] one transgender child and one pansexual child," and announced ambitious new initiatives — seeking to change everything from gender pronouns at the company's theme parks to the sexual orientation of background characters in the company's films.
• 
In a featured presentation at the meeting, executive producer Latoya Raveneau laid out Disney's ideology in blunt terms.  She said her team was implementing a "not-at-all-secret gay agenda" and regularly "adding queerness" to children's programming.
• 
Another speaker, production coordinator Allen Martsch, said his team has created a "tracker" to ensure that they are creating enough "canonical trans characters, canonical asexual characters, [and] canonical bisexual characters."
• 
Corporate president Karey Burke said she supported having "many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories" and reaffirmed the company's pledge to make at least 50 percent of its on-screen characters sexual and racial minorities...
• 
... diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware explained, Disney made the decision last year to eliminate all mentions of "ladies," "gentlemen," "boys," and "girls" in order to create "that magical moment" for children who do not identify with traditional gender roles.
• 
"We don't want to just assume because someone might be in, our interpretation, presenting as female, that they may not want to be called ‘princess'"....  By eliminating "gendered greetings," Disney believes, the company can help make it "magical and memorable for everyone."
• 
Finally, Disney hosted Nadine Smith, the executive director of a pressure group called Equality Florida, who told employees that Governor Ron DeSantis and his press secretary, Christina Pushaw, wanted to "erase you," "criminalize your existence," and "take your kids" — a wild conspiracy theory with no basis in fact.
• 
The company's executives threw their full weight behind Equality Florida's effort, promising to use its significant political and financial resources to repeal the Parental Rights in Education law and the Stop W.O.K.E.  Act, which prohibits public and private institutions from racialist discrimination and abuse in classrooms and the workplace.

• 
... Disney's Diversity and Inclusion Manager Vivian Ware explains to employees that the company is ditching the words ladies, gentlemen, boys, and girls in its theme parks in order to not alienate transgender children.
• 
... an LGBT activist accuses Florida's Republican Gov.  Ron DeSantis and his press secretary Christina Pushaw of trying to "erase" LGBT employees at Disney.
• 
One of the videos shows a Disney official explaining that the company is committed to pushing "queer stories" and putting in place procedures to ensure that the company is creating enough "gender-nonconforming characters."
• 
Disney corporate president Karey Burke said in another video that she would like to see at least 50% of Disney's characters in the future identify as LGBT or a racial minority.
• 
"Florida's HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don't Say Gay' bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law," the company said in a statement.
• 
"Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that.  We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country."
• 
"For Disney to come out and put a statement and say that the bill should have never passed and that they are going to actively work to repeal it, I think, one, was fundamentally dishonest, but, two, I think that crossed the line," DeSantis said...
•

• 
Three candidates for school board shared a teacher-training presentation that proclaimed: "Facilitators, guide this discussion [about sexual and gender identity].  Remember, parents are not entitled to know their kids' identities.  That knowledge must be earned."
• 
... "facilitators" — a title that smacks of 1984 — should also, according to the training, have no qualms about steamrolling parents who have religious objections to gender transition.  We're told those objections are nothing more than "the weaponization of religion against queer people."
• 
"When the conversation turns to navigating parents' faith-based rejection of their student's queer identity," the training continues, "it's critical to remember that we must not act as stand-ins for oppressive ideas/behaviors/attitudes, even and especially if that oppression is coming from parents.  Never forget that you may be the only supporting person in that student's sphere.  Guard and preserve that responsibility."
• 
Unfortunately, ideological trainings such as this one aren't just sitting on the cloud — Eau Claire teachers are enthusiastically embracing them.  For example, one teacher recently put up a poster in her classroom that brazenly lectured students: "If Your Parents Aren't Accepting Of Your Identity, I'm Your Mom Now."

Kids in second grade will learn how to "use listening, consensus-building, and voting procedures to decide on and take informed action to interrupt injustice or promote justice in their community."

"This is not necessarily the truth, as any queer person can say in return.  The idea that children are already people, with thoughts and needs independent of their parents, never factors into the party's position at all."
• 
"As Republicans long for a strong figure in power, they imagine the same figure in every home.  Subject of a household tyrant, the child has no freedom."
• 
"Authoritarianism is inconsistent in this way; rights granted to followers are not extended to dissenters.  For the latter there exists only punishment, a fate that extends to their children.  The GOP is the party of parental rights because it is increasingly anti-democratic."

      BLM DC complains that shot police officers treated as 'heroes' in 'tear jerker press conferences'  (Fox 01/24/2022)
• 
"Look at the reaction and coverage tonight.  Tear jerker press conferences and proclamations of heroes coming soon.  Imagine if people knew these folks' names.  Being Black in DC is more dangerous than any job."
• 
"This isn't to say these scenarios represent what happened tonight, but it does explain our skepticism, interest in details, and highlights the difference in how people talk and act when an officer is hurt vs when they hurt a Black person.  No one asks what the cop did wrong."
• 
"In the fight for Black lives, one of the many rebuffs we receive when demanding an end to police violence and terror is that ‘not all cops are bad cops,'"
• 
"This assertion is almost always coupled with examples of law enforcement officials who step outside of their assigned duties to ‘help' Black people and champions the belief that we can change systems by changing the individuals who work within this system, but not the system."
• 
"Policing and the system under which police work exists is bound to the enslavement, degradation, and murder of Black people and was never meant to protect us, but instead to exploit our bodies and labor to fill prisons and bolster capitalism."

• 
"...  The proposal does not use risk assessment tools, as there are concerns that these tools may result in greater numbers of people of color being subjected to pretrial detention, and rejects the notion that individuals should be viewed through a lens of risk."
• 
... every person "should be considered individually based on their strengths and self-identified needs and be offered the supports and resources they may need."
• 
In arguing against the usage of risk-assessment tools, the authors state that the tool depends "on data such as prior arrests, convictions, and failures to appear, the data may reflect the actions and biases of law enforcement, prosecutors and judges far more accurately than the ‘risk' of any given individual."
      No Biden reboot coming from president who thinks he's 'outperformed'  (Fox 01/24/2022)
• 
Biden ... by his own modest estimation, "outperformed what anybody thought would happen." Further, the president is convinced "we have made enormous progress" and everything is "getting better."
• 
Addressing his White House's effort to "shut down" the pandemic, as he promised to do, Biden said, "Am I satisfied with the way in which we have dealt with COVID and all the things that – that go along with it?  Yeah, I am satisfied.  I think we've done remarkably well."
• 
When asked how his administration's report card might appear to voters as they approach the midterm elections, Biden said it "would look pretty good."
• 
The problem is, according to Biden, Americans are too dim to comprehend what a terrific job he is doing.  According to him, "We've passed a lot of things that people don't even understand what's all that's in it, understandably."
• 
"I have to make clear to the American people what we are for." Joe Biden thinks he has not done a good enough job explaining to people how wonderfully things are going.
• 
His new idea is to go "out on the road a lot, making the case around the country, with my colleagues who are up for reelection and others, making the case of what we did do and what we want to do, what we need to do."
• 
In addition to getting out more, Biden's new program includes "bringing in more and more – now that I have time-... experts outside, from academia, to editorial writers, to think tanks.  And I'm bringing them in, just like I did early on, bringing in presidential historians to get their perspective on what we should be doing..." ...
• 
He now has the luxury of this renewal because, as he says, "I've gotten the critical crises out of the way, in the sense of it moving – knowing exactly where we're going."

So finally, justice has arrived.  After all the rampant crime, the smash-and-grabs, the subway shovers, the brutal random murders of young women.  Our leaders are finally doing something about it.
• 
Late Wednesday night, a statue of Theodore Roosevelt ... was removed after standing in front of the American Museum of Natural History for more than 80 years.
• 
Yeah, instead of removing the vagrants who've been defecating, doing drugs and assaulting people, go after the inanimate stiff — that'll make life better.
• 
But hey, Teddy was evil.  Those glasses, that mustache — he probably wore those as a disguise while he was beating up people of color.
• 
So get lost, you jerk, and take your racist horse with you.  And what a heroic feat to rid us of Teddy, or at least his statue — so typical of liberals to pick on something that can't hit back.
• 
By the way, the removal cost the city $2 million.  So where are they sending Teddy to, private school?  Antifa could have done it for free with ropes, with CNN looking the other way.
• 
The monument's now in a library in North Dakota.  So like all residents fleeing New York to Florida, it's probably safer.
• 
In the New York Post, they quote one of Teddy's descendants, Theodore Roosevelt V, who cheered the removal, saying the statue is being relocated to a place where its composition can be recontextualized to facilitate difficult, complex and inclusive discussions.
• 
Well, thank you, you pretentious ****.  If Teddy were alive, he dress you up like a white rhino and chased you through Central Park with a 12-gauge.
• 
Protesters tore down statues of anti-slavery heroes, as well as statues of governors.  They removed monuments honoring citizens who fought in the Union Army.  They trashed statues of the missionary Junipero Serra.

• 
Andrew Jackson in Mississippi.  Francis Scott Key in San Francisco.  Ulysses S.  Grant also toppled in S.F., probably to be replaced by a giant bronze pile of human feces.
• 
Even Frederick Douglass wasn't safe.  He was torn down in Rochester, New York.  The Virgin Mary was decapitated in Tennessee.  Jesus Christ — decapitated in Miami.
• 
Gandhi, even Gandhi, was vandalized in Davis, California, and we all remember what a jerk he was.
• 
You let society go to hell, and it quite literally goes to hell.  We have criminals released from prison to commit more crime on New York subways, L.A.  bus stations, high-end furniture stores.
• 
And yet, even now, the statues are still a priority because fake virtue-signaling is easier than dealing with real suffering.
• 
And now people are dying, in part because leaders felt a piece of stone was more harmful than a dude with a knife when the truth is, sometimes the statue is the only thing between you and the dude with a knife.

By "everyone," it seems clear the committee only means people who identify as a sex different than the one they were born with — because by allowing men to compete against women, the committee is pretty much ensuring that female athletes will have to compete less safely and fairly.
• 
And, for any women who object to that, it's clear that many authority figures — coaches, administrators, sports officials, elected officials, and even the Olympic Committee itself — will not only harass them, but refuse to respect their needs and identity.

      LA Times columnist says publicly mocking deaths of anti-vaxxers' is 'necessary' to create 'teachable moments'  (Fox 01/10/2022)
• 
In a column titled, "Mocking anti-vaxxers' deaths is ghoulish, yes — but necessary," Pultizer-Prize winner Michael Hiltzik addressed the death of Kelly Ernby, a deputy district attorney in Orange County, California, who reportedly died of complications from the coronavirus last week after opposing vaccine mandates.
• 
"On the one hand, a hallmark of civilized thought is the sense that every life is precious.  On the other, those who have deliberately flouted sober medical advice by refusing a vaccine known to reduce the risk of serious disease from the virus, including the risk to others, and end up in the hospital or the grave can be viewed as receiving their just deserts."
• 
"There may be no other way to make sure that the lessons of these teachable moments are heard."
• 
"What's especially iniquitous about the anti-mandate and anti-vaccination arguments is the damage they are doing to America's public health system."
• 
"Republicans like Ernby used COVID vaccines to turn public health into part of their partisan culture war."
• 
"As I observed then, pleas for ‘civility' are a fraud.  Their goal is to blunt and enfeeble criticism and distract from its truthfulness.  Typically, they're the work of hypocrites."
• 
An article published in September 2020 suggested Trump's effort to expedite the approval and distribution of the vaccine before the November election could "kill us."

Penzey wrote that "after a lifetime pledging allegiance to the republic our flag stands for, Republican voters have been so misled to where their allegiance is now to those seeking to bring the republic for which our flag stands to an end, and with it America as we know it."
• 
"Republican voters love America but have become so entangled in the propaganda of those who control their party that they are now actively working to bring the democracy they love to a permanent end."
• 
"If they were able to clearly see what they are doing there is no doubt they would desperately be pleading for us to stop them from doing it.  Please help them."

"The good news is that Republican voters want to be good people.  They can be redeemed, but there's no sugarcoating the reality that they are now the #1 threat to this country they love so very much.  They need your help."

Penzey further told his customers, "January 6 should have been a wake-up call, but sadly Republican voters are passed out cold along with a disappointing number of Independents."
• 
"I believe in your ability to communicate with the same kindness and compassion you share when you cook."
• 
"The truth we must share is, anyone still supporting the Republican Party after January 6 should be ashamed of themselves.  You delivering this message with gentle firmness means all.  Our way of life is in your hands."

• 
"Driving the initiatives of the Republicans and the inertia of the Democrats are two forces.  The first is the right's project, decades in the making, to legally limit the scope and reach of democracy.  The second is the Constitution, which makes it difficult for the national majority to act and easy for local minorities to rule..."
• 
"Democracy is not just the enemy of the Republican Party.  It is also the enemy of the Constitution," Robin wrote.
• 
"Americans associate the Constitution with popular liberties such as due process and freedom of speech.  They overlook its architecture of state power, which erects formidable barriers to equal representation and majority rule in all three branches of government.  The Republicans are not struggling to overturn a long and storied history of democratic rules and norms.  They're walking through an open door."

... American Express subjected its employees to a series of critical race theory training sessions that encouraged staff to rank themselves on a hierarchy of "privilege" and apply that hierarchy in the workplace, with the more "privileged" employees deferring to staff from "marginalized groups."
• 
... urged Amex employees to construct their own intersectional identities, mapping their "race, sexual orientation, body type, religion, disability status, age, gender identity [and] citizenship" on an official company worksheet.  Employees could then determine whether they have "privilege" or are members of a "marginalized group."

Whites, males, heterosexual people, Christians, able-bodied people and citizens would presumably count as "privileged."

• 
The groups also demand that the university administration "reaffirm support for the multicultural center on campus as a safe space from White Supremacy."

Students making the demands also want the administration to redirect funding from the Arizona State University Police Department to the multicultural center and they are demanding "the establishment of a care center on campus."

• 
"Join us to demand from ASU that those demands be met to protect students from a violent blood-thirsty murderer."

•

      American Medical Association pushes pro-critical race theory materials in 'Health Equity' guide  (Fox 11/10/2021)
• 
AMA President Gerald Harmon explained the reasoning behind the guide ... "As with science, our language must change and evolve over time based on new revelations and a deeper understanding."
• 
"The dominant narratives in American medicine and society reflect the values and interests of the historically more privileged socioeconomic groups — white, heterosexual, able-bodied, cisgendered, male, wealthy, English-speaking, Christian, U.S.-born."
• 
"These narratives have been deeply rooted in value systems and ingrained in cultural practices that have given preference to the interests of society's most powerful social groups.  But they can also be wielded as a weapon to oppress others."
• 
"That is the case, for example, with the use of adjectives that dehumanize individuals by reducing them to their diagnosis — simply referring to a patient living with diabetes as a ‘diabetic' — or that unfairly labels groups of people as ‘vulnerable' to chronic disease while ignoring the entrenched power structures, such as racism, that have put them at higher risk."
• 
"The AMA is working to dismantle racist policies and practices across all of health care – and our nation.  To achieve these goals, the AMA does not endorse or embrace any single theory or perspective – we look at the significant body of evidence on how we can reduce health disparities of Americans."
• 
"A health equity narrative grounded in equity and a social justice framework also would...  Expose the political roots underlying apparently 'natural' economic arrangements, such as property rights, market conditions, gentrification, oligopolies and low wage rates."
• 
The guide says doctors should not say "Low-income people have the highest level of coronary artery disease in the United States."
• 
Instead, it says, doctors should phrase the same idea like this: "People underpaid and forced into poverty as a result of banking policies, real estate developers gentrifying neighborhoods, and corporations weakening the power of labor movements, among others, have the highest level of coronary artery disease."
• 
The preface to the document adds: "The AAMC and AMA also acknowledge the extraction of brilliance, energy and life for labor forced upon millions of people of African descent for more than 400 years."

      Professor says grading system is racist, proposes labor-based system: 'White language supremacy'  (Fox 11/09/2021)
• 
"White language supremacy in writing classrooms is due to the uneven and diverse linguistic legacies that everyone inherits, and the racialized white discourses that are used as standards, which give privilege to those students who embody those habits of white language already."
• 
Labor-based grading would mean weighing assignments based on how much "labor" students put into their work, and not assigning grades based on grammar or quality of work. 
• 
"Labor-based grading structurally changes everyone's relationship to dominant standards of English that come from elite, masculine, heteronormative, ableist, white racial groups of speakers."
• 
... "labor-based grading ecologies are fundamentally about creating compassionate, democratic conditions, ones that are critical and rigorous, if by rigorous we mean deep, thoughtful, engagement with each other for each other's sake and not for grades or false external motivators that ultimately erode students' abilities to learn and take risks."

      Christopher Rufo: AT&T’s racial reeducation promotes idea that 'racism is a uniquely white trait’  (Fox 10/29/2021)
• 
AT&T Corporation has created a racial reeducation program that promotes the idea that "American racism is a uniquely white trait" and boosts left-wing causes such as "reparations," "defund police," and "trans activism."
• 
CEO John Stankey launched the program last year and, subsequently, has told employees that private corporations such as AT&T have an "obligation to engage on this issue of racial injustice" and push for "systemic reforms in police departments across the country."
• 
... managers at AT&T are now assessed annually on diversity issues, with mandatory participation in programs such as discussion groups, book clubs, mentorship programs, and race reeducation exercises.
• 
White employees, the source said, are tacitly expected to confess their complicity in "white privilege" and "systemic racism," or they will be penalized in their performance reviews.
• 
As part of the overall initiative, employees are asked to sign a loyalty pledge to "keep pushing for change," with suggested "intentions" such as "reading more about systemic racism" and "challenging others' language that is hateful." "If you don't do it," the senior employee says, "you're [considered] a racist."
• 
On the first page of AT&T's Listen Understand Act internal portal, the company encourages employees to study a resource called "White America, if you want to know who's responsible for racism, look in the mirror."
• 
The article claims that the United States is a "racist society" and lays out its thesis plainly: "White people, you are the problem.  Regardless of how much you say you detest racism, you are the sole reason it has flourished for centuries."
• 
The author, Dahleen Glanton, writes that "American racism is a uniquely white trait" and that "Black people cannot be racist."
• 
White women, she claims, "have been telling lies on black men since they were first brought to America in chains," and, along with their white male counterparts, "enjoy the opportunities and privileges that white supremacy affords [them]."
• 
The program instructs AT&T employees to "do one action [per day for 21 days] to further [their] understanding of power, privilege, supremacy, oppression, and equity."
• 
The challenge begins with a series of lessons on "whiteness," which claims, among other things, that "white supremacy [is] baked into our country's foundation," that "Whiteness is one of the biggest and most long-running scams ever perpetrated," and that the "weaponization of whiteness" creates a "constant barrage of harm" for minorities.
• 
The 21-Day Challenge also directs employees to articles and videos promoting fashionable left-wing causes, including "reparations," "defund police," and "trans activism," with further instruction to "follow, quote, repost, and retweet" organizations including the Transgender Training Institute and the National Center for Transgender Equality.
      Tucker Carlson: The Biden administration is targeting blue-collar men  (Fox 10/28/2021)
• 
Here's today's example.  The State Department has just announced it will issue the first passport ever with an x gender marker.  Huh?  First of all, who cares?
• 
Second, why is the U.S.  government trying to pretend that gender isn't real?  It's the realest thing in human society.  It's the basis of civilization.
• 
But whatever they lectured us today quote, this is for those who don't have identify as male or female.  So you won't be able to get on a plane because no one's working at the airlines anymore.  But at least you won't get misgendered.  OK.
• 
Here's another example.  There's an ongoing House Intel Committee hearing with the heads of the CIA, NSA and DNI, not on how the intel agencies have been weaponized against American citizens.  No, that would be too germane.
• 
No, this hearing was about DEI.  That's not a new intel agency.  It's a new cult.  It's called diversity, equity and inclusion.  So the hearing began with Adam Schiff complaining, and this is a key problem for most Americans, that all the Intel briefers he deals with are white men?
• 
SCHIFF: I can't help but notice that the large majority of IC briefers, though uniformly excellent, who appear before the committee are often White and male.
We need to recruit officers with diverse backgrounds into the IC and then show them there's a path forward to advance and grow their careers to top leadership positions.
• 
The White House just issued its first-ever national gender equity and equality strategy that happened on Friday.  Did you miss it?  Maybe you were waiting in line trying to buy food?  Well, one of the highlights from that plan, the White House, says it will work to end cash bail.  Oh, that will make your life better.
• 
But that's not all.  The White House also announced it wants to, and we're quoting seek to eliminate barriers that prevent immigrants from accessing government-funded services.  Ooh, that's the whole game right there.

• 
"Teachers need to be taught how to question Whiteness and White supremacy, how to check and deal with their White emotions of guilt and anger, and how these all impact their classrooms."
• 
"Teachers must demand the end of high-stakes testing and the yelling of slogans at dark children, such as ‘knowledge is power,' ‘work hard,' ‘be nice,' and ‘no excuses,' because all you need is grit."
• 
"Abolitionist Teachers" should "[b]uild a school culture that engages in healing and advocacy.  This requires a commitment to learning from students, families, and educators who disrupt Whiteness and other forms of oppression."

• 
"I got to know all the conductors really well, they became my friends – I mean, really, my genuine friends, I'd have them at my home for Christmas and during the summer."
• 
"And Ange walks up to me and goes, ‘Joey, baby,' grabs my cheek and I thought the Secret Service was going to blow his head off."
• 
"I swear to God, true story.  I said, ‘No, no, he's a friend.' I said, ‘What's up, Ange?' And he said, ‘Joey, I read in the paper you traveled 1,200,000 miles on Air Force planes.'"...
• 
Negri then informed the vice president that he had traveled 2,200,000 miles on Amtrak, according to Biden's telling.
• 
"'So Joey, I don't wanna hear this about the Air Force anymore,'" Biden recalled Negri joking.
• 
"I'm a train guy," the president said, concluding his story and launching into his pitch on his Build Back Better agenda and bipartisan infrastructure bill.
• 
Negri's obituary states he retired from Amtrak in 1993, while Biden was still a senator.  Additionally, Biden's office celebrated him hitting 1 million miles on Air Force Two in 2015 and Negri passed away the year prior.
• 
The president previously claimed it happened in the "fourth or fifth year" of his vice presidency, while he claimed as recently as last week that it happened in the seventh year of his tenure.

      Walmart stands by CRT training as 'thought provoking' and 'instructive'  (Fox 10/20/2021)
• 
Walmart has stood by a diversity training that claims that White people have "internal racist conditioning," that Americans today are inheriting a racist legacy, and that ideas such as perfectionism, worship of the written word, individualism, and objectivity are aspects of "White supremacy culture" that "promote White supremacy thinking."
• 
"Walmart began offering the Racial Equity Institute (REI) training sessions in 2018 for corporate leaders to share analysis and encourage reflection on the history of race in America as well as systemic racial inequity in its institutional and structural forms."
• 
"...  the program was designed for corporate officers and salaried managers, not frontline hourly associates."
• 
"If you are a citizen of the United States, part of the legacy you have inherited is the historical, systematic, and pervasive way in which white race and the benefits, privilege and power for those who came to be known as white have been constructed in this country."
• 
The materials claim that in order for "oppression" to succeed, "we must collude or cooperate." White people "cooperate" by following their "internal racist conditioning," which leads them to say, "I'm not racist, I'm a good White person."
• 
One passage lists "characteristics" of "White supremacy culture," including "perfectionism," "worship of the written word," "individualism," and "objectivity."
• 
Among the problems with "objectivity," the document lists "the idea that there is such a thing as being objective or ‘neutral,'" and "requiring people to think in a linear (logical) fashion."

Students at one of the most prestigious college preparatory schools in the United States could reportedly risk expulsion for single instances of speech someone deems offensive.

• 
In the article, Montilla wrote, "The rise in images of overt white supremacy in the media feeds into the confusion about white supremacy.  While the Ku Klux Klan and MAGAs at half-empty Trump rallies (not that these are mutually exclusive groups) are in fact examples of white supremacy, they are not the only examples."

A school shooter wounded three people in a rampage at an Arlington, Texas, high school Wednesday.  He spent a grand total of one day in jail before he was released on a $75,000 bond Thursday.  Media outlets are sympathetically portraying him as a victim of bullying and amplifying his family's defense.
• 
... there's something different about this school shooter from the ones you usually hear about on the news.  Timothy Simpkins, the 18-year-old shooter is black.  In the Globalist American Empire, that awards him privilege.  No white school shooter could've expected such a generous treatment.

Simpkins's defense claims he used a gun in self-defense.  He allegedly grabbed a gun after the fight and unloaded it in the school.

One of his victims is a 25-year-old white teacher who was shot in the back as he tried to break up the fight.

"Recently, I was suspended from my job for refusing to treat my black students as lesser than their non-black peers."

      Bank of Amerika: The financial giant teaches that the United States is a system of 'white supremacy'...  (JWR 08/23/2021)
• 
Bank of America Corporation has implemented a racial reeducation program that claims the United States is a system of "white supremacy" and encourages employees to become "woke at work," instructing white employees in particular to "decolonize [their] mind[s]" and "cede power to people of color."
• 
Bank of America teaches employees that the United States is a "racialized society" that "use[s] race to establish and justify systems of power, privilege, disenfranchisement, and oppression," which "give[s] privileges to white people resulting in disadvantages to people of color."
• 
According to the training program, all whites — "regardless of one's socioeconomic class background or other disadvantages" — are "living a life with white skin privileges."
• 
Even children are implicated in the system of white supremacy: according to the program materials, white toddlers "develop racial biases by ages three to five" and "should be actively taught to recognize and reject the ‘smog' of white privilege."
• 
Bank of America teaches employees about intersectionality, unconscious bias, microaggressions, and systemic racism.
• 
"Racism in America idolizes White physical features and White values as supreme over those of others," the program asserts.
• 
As a result of being part of the "dominant culture," whites are more likely to "have more limited imagination," "experience fear, anxiety, guilt, or shame," "contribute to racial tension, hatred, and violence in our homes, communities, and world," and, subsequently, "react in broken ways as a result."
• 
People of color, on the other hand, cannot be racist, because "racism is used to justify the position of the dominant group .  .  .  and to uphold white supremacy and superiority."
• 
Therefore, the discussion guide claims, "reverse racism and discrimination are not possible."
• 
Bank of America encourages white employees to confront their "white privilege" and "white fragility," in order to "discover where [they] are on the privilege spectrum" and "if [they] exhibit ‘white fragility' traits."
• 
Bank of America covers a laundry list of progressive concepts and policy priorities, including "microaggressions," "racial trauma," "the abolishment of the police," "the school-to-prison pipeline," and "environmental justice."
• 
The training program claims that racist microaggressions can contribute to post-traumatic stress disorder in black Americans and that "racism can be just as devastating as gunfire or sexual assault."
• 
BOA encourages employees to become "woke at work" and practice "allyship." Participants must admit that "[their] words and actions are inherently shaped and influenced by systemic oppression" and must commit to doing "the inner work to figure out a way to acknowledge how [they] participate in oppressive systems."
• 
A worksheet provides specific instructions, including: "decolonize your mind"; "accept that white supremacy and institutional racism are real"; "challenge white dominant cultural norms"; and "cede power to people of color."

• 
Allen went on to say that "as the potential unifying influence in Afghanistan, the Afghan forces are better than we thought they were, and they're better than they thought they were when tried in combat."

      American Express CRT training urged staff to adopt a hierarchy, putting 'marginalized' above 'privileged'  (Fox 08/11/2021)
• 
... Amex executives created an internal "Anti-Racism Initiative" after the death of George Floyd, subjecting employees to a training program based on CRT tenets, including intersectionality, which categorizes people as "oppressors" or "oppressed" based on racial, gender, sexual, and other identities.
• 
In the trainings, the outside consulting firm Paradigm urged Amex employees to construct their own intersectional identities, mapping their "race, sexual orientation, body type, religion, disability status, age, gender identity [and] citizenship" on an official company worksheet.
• 
Employees could then determine whether they have "privilege" or are members of a "marginalized group."
• 
Whites, males, heterosexual people, Christians, able-bodied people, and citizens would presumably count as "privileged."
• 
In another session, consultants instructed employees to change their behavior in the office based on their relative position on the intersectional hierarchy.
• 
... the session included "a blue flowchart with specific rules for interacting with black, female and LGBT employees: If members of a subordinate group are present, workers should practice ‘intersectional allyship' and defer to them before speaking."
• 
... instructed white employees to "identify the privileges or advantages you have"; not to "speak over members of the black and African-American community"; and to analyze their speech and actions based on their impact on others, not their intent: "It's not about your intent, it's about the impact you have on your colleague."
• 
The training sessions also warned white employees to avoid certain phrases as "microaggressions." Forbidden phrases include: "I don't see color"; "We are all human beings"; and "Everyone can succeed in this society if they work hard enough."
• 
... Amex executives invited Khalil Muhammad – a great-grandson of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad – to speak on "race in corporate America." He argued that capitalism was founded on racism and that "racist logics and forms of domination" have shaped Western society since at least the Industrial Revolution.
• 
"American Express has to do its own digging about how it sits in relationship to this history of racial capitalism," Muhammad said.

• 
Forty-eight-year political veteran President Biden raised eyebrows on Wednesday when he claimed to have driven an 18-wheeler truck — a claim the White House struggled to defend.
• 
... he made the claim to have driven the massive trucks before, which require a special kind of license.  "I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man," Biden said...
• 
When asked if the president had ever driven such a truck, a White House spokesperson pointed to a December 1973 article ... that showed Biden rode in an 18-wheeler on a 536-mile haul to Ohio.
• 
... noting that riding in a truck is not the same as driving one – at which point the president's spokesperson pointed to a United Federation of Teachers post that touched on Biden driving a school bus in the past as a summer job.

      Pentagon contractor investigating 'extremism,' says BLM web search raises concerns about White supremacy  (Fox 07/19/2021)
• 
The Pentagon is reportedly working with an extremism analysis company that considers the web search "the truth about Black Lives Matter" and others to be signs of interest in or engagement with White supremacism.
• 
... the contractor Moonshot CVE, which has ties to the Obama Foundation, is working on data that would identify which military bases and branches have the most troops searching for domestic extremist content.
• 
... the U.K.-based company said it "monitored a list of almost 1,600 indicators of interest in or engagement with white supremacism, focused specifically on anti-Black and anti-Semitic narratives being used by extremist groups."
• 
For "the truth about black lives matter," the group said: "This search suggests that the BLM movement has nefarious motives, and is a disinformation narrative perpetuated by white supremacist groups to weaponize anti-BLM sentiment."
• 
"While the search phrase appears innocuous, several books include it in their title and allege that the BLM movement is ‘joined with Antifa burning and looting.' These sources echo white supremacist disinformation narratives alleging that BLM protesters are trying to ‘overthrow the republic' and 'harm American citizens in a Marxist coup,' as a means of delegitimizing it.  Multiple videos on YouTube also promote these narratives — in particular the criminalization of BLM — using the identical phrase."
• 
It's unclear why the Pentagon chose a U.K.-based company for monitoring purported U.S.  extremism.

      Statue of Lewis, Clark and Sacagawea toppled in Charlottesville  (Fox 07/11/2021)
• 
The city of Charlottesville, Va.  followed up its removal of two controversial Confederate statues Saturday with the lightning-fast toppling of a third local landmark: a monumental tribute to explorers Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea.
• 
In an emergency meeting called with 20 minutes' notice, the Charlottesville City Council voted unanimously to cancel another piece of public art targeted by left-wing activists.
• 
"I feel that it should just be melted down," Rose Ann Abrahamson, a Sacagawea descendant, said during the council meeting...  "I feel that it's entirely offensive and it should be obliterated."
• 
Within minutes, a city work crew — the same group that had dismantled equestrian statues of Gens.  Robert E.  Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson earlier Saturday — arrived with ropes, a crane, and pry bars to wrench the artwork off the plinth where it had stood on Charlottesville's West Main Street since 1919.
• 
Lewis, the famous American adventurer who was sent by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the land west of the Mississippi River in 1804, was a local hero born in Charlottesville's Albemarle County.
• 
The bronze statue cast to honor the Lewis and Clark expedition includes the two men and Sacagawea, their Shoshone guide and interpreter.
• 
In recent years its design has been criticized for its portrayal of Sacagawea, who appears in a crouching position behind the standing white men — which activists have seen as disparaging.
• 
But some historians contend that her posture shows her in action as a tracker and is not meant to place her in a subservient stance.
• 
Charlottesville's Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center has offered to take the statue — but the city council has not yet decided to accept its plan.

• 
... associate professor of political science Lynne Chandler Garcia published an op-ed titled "Why U.S.  military academies should teach critical race theory." Agreeing with Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen.  Mark A.  Milley, Garcia claimed that critical race theory "is not unpatriotic" and does not "promote division among our military members."
• 
"As a professor of political science at the U.S.  Air Force Academy, I teach critical race theories to our nation's future military leaders because it is vital that cadets understand the history of the racism that has shaped both foreign and domestic policy."
• 
Garcia further explained that studying CRT is crucial to understanding the "duality" that is freedom in the United States.
• 
"It helps students identify the structural racism and inequality that has been endemic in American society.  And it provides methods for deconstructing oppressive beliefs, policies and practices to find solutions that will lead to justice."
• 
"The reality of the Constitution is that it upholds the rule of law and human rights, but once also allowed slavery and has been used to perpetuate legal discrimination."
• 
"In other words, racism was ingrained in the system from the beginning, and the military still struggles with these issues.  As a recent inspector general's report on disparities in the Air Force and Space Force pointed out, Black service members lag behind their White peers in promotion rates but are overrepresented in disciplinary actions.  Further, a recent Defense Department report documented the threat of white supremacy within the ranks.  Cadets need to understand these contradictions within their institutions."

      National Archives' racism task force says own Rotunda example of 'structural racism,' knocks Founding...  (Fox 06/27/2021)
• 
The National Archives' task force on racism claimed in a little-noticed report to the U.S.'s top librarian that the Archives' own Rotunda – which houses the Declaration of Independence, the U.S.  Constitution and the Bill of Rights – is an example of "structural racism" and that the Founding Fathers and other White, historically impactful Americans are portrayed too positively.
• 
... the report categorized the National Archives' Rotunda as another example of "structural racism" as it "lauds wealthy White men in the nation's founding while marginalizing BIPOC [Black, Indigenous and other People of Color], women, and other communities."
• 
The task force suggests ways to "reimagine the Rotunda," including staging "dance or performance art in the space that invites dialogue about the ways that the United States has mythologized the founding era."
• 
The report also called for "trigger warnings" to be put in place with historical content to "forewarn audiences of content that may cause intense physiological and psychological symptoms."
• 
"Providing an advisory notice to users gives us an opportunity to mitigate harm and contextualize the records," the report reads.
• 
"It creates a space to share with the public our ultimate goals for reparative description, demonstrate our commitment to the process, and address any barriers that we may face in achieving these goals (i.e., the size and scope of the Catalog and the ever-evolving knowledge we gain regarding what is harmful)."
• 
"OurDocuments.gov features transcripts and historical context of ‘100 milestone documents of American history' but often uses adulatory and excessive language to document the historical contributions of White, wealthy men," the report reads before taking aim at Jefferson.
• 
Additionally, the report calls for "the creation of safe spaces in every NARA facility" and says NARA has "a responsibility to eliminate racist language in archival descriptions and revise the policies and practices that led to it."

• 
"I think it's important for your viewers to know that Abrar Omeish's comments here are incendiary comments are not the first example of divisive and anti-Semitic rhetoric."
• 
... several weeks ago, Omeish posted "vile anti-Semitic tweets on her social accounts," which were linked to her official "non-partisan Fairfax County school board page."

"That desecrates the Holy Land and kills Palestinians.  And this caused huge outrage amongst over 250,000 Jewish Americans here in Northern Virginia and it sparked outrage across all political lines and there were calls for her to apologize.  She offered no apology.  She doubled down on it."
• 
The county school district said in a statement that Omeish's comments were her First Amendment right and that her "personal views ... do not reflect the views" of the school board or district.
• 
"It was just really depressing.  It was indicative of this radicalization that is happening within school boards and school districts and schools across the country, from principals to teachers to political operatives like [Omeish]."

• 
BRIAN WILLIAMS, MSNBC: His use of voice modulation was rather extraordinary given the television era and it served as cover at times for unspooling an ambition in this speech that was Rooseveltian in size and scope.
• 
VAN JONES, CNN: It was really beautiful.  I mean, it was beautiful.  He is developing a kind of positive populism.
• 
ANDREA MITCHELL, NBC: He also talked about the soul of America and that was so passionate when he talked about the knee of injustice of the neck of Black America.

NICOLLE WALLACE, MSNBC: His connections to the people in this room – I'm not even sure if all of them are deserving of it.  But he doesn't care.  He gives them the benefit of the doubt.

VAN JONES: And his voice, that kind of grandfatherly whispery voice and the fact that it actually wasn't a big raucous crowd let that intimacy really land.

• 
He connected with people who didn't even deserve to be connected with.  Hopeless sinners, redeemed by his voice alone — a voice that is not, and we want to be clear about this, the fading monotone of a 78-year-old man losing his grip.

No, it's not.  Joe Biden's voice modulates.  It has the capacity to change pitch in a way that is — and we're quoting now — "rather extraordinary."

      Biden aims to redefine word ‘bipartisan’ as Dems work to push spending bill without any GOP votes  (Fox 04/12/2021)
• 
"If you looked up ‘bipartisan' in the dictionary, I think it would say support from Republicans and Democrats," senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn told...  "It doesn't say the Republicans have to be in Congress."
• 
Biden senior adviser Mike Donilon pointed to the president's new definition of "bipartisan" as "an agenda that unifies the country and appeals across the political spectrum."
• 
"I think it's a pretty good definition to say you're pursuing an agenda that will unite the country, that will bring Democrats and Republicans together across the country."
• 
"Presumably, if you have an agenda that is broadly popular with Democrats and Republicans across the country, then you should have elected representatives reflecting that."
• 
"When I wrote it, everybody said I had no bipartisan support.  We're overwhelming bipartisan support with Republican – registered Republican voters," Biden said.
• 
"And ask around.  If you live in a town with a Republican mayor, a Republican county executive, or a Republican governor, ask them how many would rather get rid of the plan.  Ask them if it helped them at all."
• 
The president then added: "I hope Republicans in Congress will join this effort."

"Although more information is still needed, it's clear that the epidemic of gun violence, anti-Asian sentiment, and white supremacy have been neglected for too long and pose a grave risk to our country."
•

      Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's fan-created GoFundMe page ends after dismal showing  (Fox 03/17/2021)
• 
A GoFundMe page set up to pay off the mortgage on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's $14.6 million California estate has gone bust — after raising a measly $110...
• 
Anastasia Hanson, 56, of California told Britain's the Sun that she started the fundraising effort because she seriously felt sorry for the multimillionaire royal couple — after Harry publicly whined to Oprah Winfrey about being financially cut off by Buckingham Palace.
• 
"When they came to the USA, they were without jobs and with limited funds," said Hanson, who lives about 25 minutes from the princely pair's palatial estate in swanky Montecito.
• 
"They've stated that they've had a very rough time, so this fundraiser is a way to give help, compassion, and love by paying their home loan in full."
• 
Hanson's online bid to try to financially help the royals was started a few days ago — and shut down by Saturday after just three donations...
• 
Hanson kicked in $5, while "A Supporter" gave $100 and "Anonymous" bestowed $5 on the fund.
• 
The page had read, "I am Anastasia Hanson of Ventura, California and I am raising funds to pay off the mortgage for the Montecito, California home of Harry and Meghan.
• 
"Were 2 million supporters to donate just $5 each, the Goal is met and the loan can be paid off.  After their interview, I was moved with compassion to help get their home paid off.  As they are now financially independent, this will help and be a loving gift."
• 
Harry and Meghan bought their nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom manse — dubbed the Chateau of Riven Rock — in August for $14.65 million.
• 
The prince reportedly inherited what now amounts to around $13 million from his late mother, Princess Diana.
• 
The pair also has an estimated $100 million production deal with Netflix and is said to rake in $1 million a pop for speeches.

"The pandemic offered glimpses of what is possible.  But will all this become a blip in history, or will it provide impetus for long-term change?  The public has a genuine but brief window over the next few months to make America a fairer, more just and more humane place.  If people recognize that, seize that and demand that, they could reshape this country for decades."

      FLASHBACK: Progressives began effort to cancel Dr.  Seuss in 2017  (Fox 03/11/2021)
• 
... back in 2017 ... Katie Ishizuka penned a 43-page study titled, "Rethinking Dr.  Seuss for NEA's Read Across America Day: Racism Within Dr.  Seuss's Children's Books & The Case for Centering Diverse Books"...
• 
Ishizuka wrote that Black children may feel uncomfortable going to school on Read Across America Day because of its ties to Dr.  Seuss.
• 
Ishizuka found 98% of characters in Dr.  Seuss books are White, while only 45 of 2,240 human characters are non-White.  All 45, she claimed, "are depicted in a racist manner."
• 
"Of the 45 characters of color, 2 are ‘African,' 14 are ‘Asian,' and 29 are ‘turban-wearing' characters who are sometimes attributed an ethnicity, but are generally of unknown country or race"...
• 
Of the 14 "Asian" characters in Seuss books, Ishizuka found "11 ... are wearing stereotypical, conical ‘rice paddy hats'".
• 
"The three (and only) ‘Asian' characters who are not seen wearing ‘rice paddy hats,' are carrying an animal in a large cage on top of their heads.  There is a white [sic] male child holding a gun, standing on top of the animal cage that is being balanced on top of their heads."
• 
Ishizuka also noted that many of the characters wearing turbans are also "riding exotic animals" and typically wear curled-toe slippers.
• 
"These findings categorically refute the argument that Dr.  Seuss's children's books themselves are not racist.  Beyond centering and upholding whiteness [sic], they present subservient, dehumanizing, exotifying and stereotypical caricatures of people of color."
• 
Ishizuka declared that "exposing children to books that center whiteness [sic] and depict people of color in racist, dehumanizing, exotifying, subservient and stereotypical caricatures, has the capacity" to make kids think "whiteness [sic] is central and dominant," "people of color are peripheral and subordinate," "people of color are only relevant only as a ‘prop' to, or ‘exoticized other' of, the white [sic] narrative" and "people of color are subhuman and have the same status and/or appearance as animals."
• 
... singled out Seuss's most famous book, "The Cat in the Hat," writing that the cat "mimics the role of blackface performers in minstrel shows" because its "purpose is to entertain and perform ‘tricks' for the white [sic] children."
• 
In 2019, Ihsikuza and Ramon Stephens co-authored an article titled, The Cat is Out of the Bag: Orientalism, Anti-Blackness, and White Supremacy in Dr.  Seuss's Children's Books."
• 
"Each time someone dresses up as ?‘The Cat in the Hat?,' anti-Black racism and cultural appropriation is reinforced, and the legacy of blackface and minstrelsy lives on."
• 
Dr.  Seuss Enterprises, the company that preserves and protects the author's legacy, announced this month that it would stop the publication of six Seuss books that "portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong".
• 
The company said copies of "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," "If I Ran the Zoo," "McElligot's Pool," "On Beyond Zebra!," "Scrambled Eggs Super!," and "The Cat's Quizzer" will no longer be published as of March 2, which was Seuss' birthday and National Read Across America Day.

• 
"As you know, there is growing momentum around the invocation of the 25th Amendment, which would allow the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to remove the President for his incitement of insurrection and the danger he still poses."

• 
Former U.S.  Army Sgt.  Robert "Bowe" Bergdahl, who was court-martialed in 2017 after being accused of abandoning his post in Afghanistan and endangering fellow service members, has filed a civil lawsuit in a bid to overturn his conviction.
• 
The court filing names the United States as the defendant.
• 
Last August, the U.S.  military's top appeals court upheld Bergdahl's conviction, rejecting arguments that public comments by Trump and McCain should have invalidated his prosecution...
• 
Prior to becoming president in January 2017, Trump had publicly referred to Bergdahl as "a dirty, rotten traitor," and later made reference to his past remarks after becoming president, the report said.
• 
McCain vowed to call for a hearing in the Senate Armed Services Committee if Bergdahl wasn't punished for the allegations he faced...

After abandoning his post in June 2009, Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban and held prisoner for nearly five years until he was returned to the U.S.  in exchange for five Taliban detainees...

      NYC public school asks parents to 'reflect' on their 'whiteness'  (Fox 02/17/2021)
• 
A city public school principal is asking parents to "reflect" on their "whiteness" — passing out literature that extols "white traitors'' who " dismantle institutions."
• 
The "woke'' offensive at the East Side Community School in Manhattan features a ranking list titled " The 8 White Identities," which ranges from " White Supremacist'' to "White Abolitionist."
• 
The curriculum, written by Barnor Hesse, an associate professor of African American studies at Northwestern University in Illinois, claims, "There is a regime of whiteness, and there are action-oriented white identities.
• 
"It's about time we build an ethnography of whiteness, since white people have been the ones writing about and governing Others,'' Hesse adds.
• 
"Anti-racism and the celebration of diversity is at the core of our work on behalf of the young people of New York City, and the East Side Community School's students, parents and staff partner together to advance equity in their community."
• 
"Our staff are now being targeted with vile racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic slurs and degrading language from people outside of their school and nothing justifies the abuse directed at our educators."
• 
The dissemination of Hesse's literature to parents comes as the DOE and schools chancellor Richard Carranza have pushed to eliminate what they call current administrators' "white-supremacy culture.''...
• 
The racial makeup of the student body at East Side Community was 55 percent Hispanic, 18 percent White, 15 percent Black, 10 percent Asian and 2 percent other during the last school year.
• 
The school's principal, Mark Federman ... made headlines in 2007 when he tried to prevent the arrest of a student accused of punching a school safety agent.

• 
When Joe Biden writes a talking point, they repeat it.  Not just a few of them, but all of them in precisely the same way.  Think of reporters as the North Korean gymnastics team celebrating Kim Il Sung Day in a soccer stadium in Pyongyang.  They move as one.
• 
To hear the mainstream media tell it, Joe Biden is like America's dad.  A little blunt sometimes, but honest.  A straight shooter, solid, reliable, steady.  That's Joe Biden.
• 
Above all, Joe Biden is a family man who took the train back to Wilmington every night to the 10,000-square-foot estate a campaign donor bought for him in exchange for unregistered lobbying on behalf of credit card companies.
• 
Joe Biden's family's refreshingly normal.  There aren't any weird sex scandals or protracted drug problems or ongoing criminal investigations you've got to worry about.
• 
At the heart of this great American family is a love story; a man and a woman united in the fires of passion that changed the course of our history.
• 
As a headline from Politico on Valentine's Day put it: "Historians and relationship experts agree: The first couple's romantic gestures aren't just genuine — they're restorative"...

"I do think that we need to spend months and months unearthing all the evidence that can possibly be gotten to through a 9/11-style commission," Sen.  Chris Coons, D-Del., said...
• 
"And a number of Republicans have already come out and said there should be further accountability, whether through a criminal trial or through some other path towards being barred from office."
• 
Coons appeared to be alluding to the 14th Amendment, which some Democrats say could be used to bar Trump from running for office again.
• 
The amendment was passed in the wake of the Civil War and aimed at preventing former U.S.  officeholders who defected to the Confederacy from holding office in the U.S.  government again.
• 
It bars people "who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States ... shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
• 
The amendment gives Congress the power "by appropriate legislation" to enforce this.  Some Democrats, therefore, interpret this as a way to ban Trump from office without clearing the 67-vote hurdle of an impeachment conviction.

      Oregon promotes teacher program that seeks to undo 'racism in mathematics'  (Fox 02/12/2021)
• 
The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) recently encouraged teachers to register for training that encourages "ethnomathematics" and argues, among other things, that White supremacy manifests itself in the focus on finding the right answer.
• 
An ODE newsletter sent last week advertises a Feb.  21 "Pathway to Math Equity Micro-Course," which is designed for middle school teachers to make use of a toolkit for "dismantling racism in mathematics."
• 
Part of the toolkit includes a list of ways "white supremacy culture" allegedly "infiltrates math classrooms."
• 
Those include "the focus is on getting the 'right' answer," students being "required to 'show their work,'" and other alleged manifestations.
• 
"The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so," the document for the "Equitable Math" toolkit reads.
• 
"Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict."
• 
An associated "Dismantling Racism" workbook, linked within the toolkit, similarly identifies "objectivity" — described as "the belief that there is such a thing as being objective or ‘neutral'" — as a characteristic of White supremacy.
• 
It also encourages teachers to "center ethnomathematics," which includes a variety of guidelines.  One of them instructs educators to "identify and challenge the ways that math is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views."
• 
"The framework for deconstructing racism in mathematics offers essential characteristics of antiracist math educators and critical approaches to dismantling white supremacy in math classrooms by visualizing the toxic characteristics of white supremacy culture."
• 
The toolkit adds that "building on the framework, teachers engage with critical praxis in order to shift their instructional beliefs and practices toward antiracist math education.  By centering antiracism, we model how to be antiracist math educators with accountability."
• 
In one section of the "Dismantling Racism" workbook, the argument is made that "only white people can be racist in our society, because only white people as a group have that power."
• 
"In some cases, the prejudices of oppressed people ('you can't trust the police') are necessary for survival."
• 
"We cannot dismantle racism in a system that exploits people for private profit, If we want to dismantle racism, then we must build a movement for economic justice."

She did, however, say that she believes "impeachment is a waste of time." Asked how Trump should be held accountable, Haley replied, "I think he's going to find himself further and further isolated."
• 
"I think his business is suffering at this point.  I think he's lost any sort of political viability he was going to have.  I think he's lost his social media, which meant the world to him.  I mean, I think he's lost the things that really could have kept him moving."

      Third-graders forced to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to...  (JWR 01/14/2021)

The teacher asked all students to create an "identity map," listing their race, class, gender, religion, family structure, and other characteristics.
• 
The teacher explained that the students live in a "dominant culture" of "white, middle class, cisgender, educated, able-bodied, Christian, English speaker[s]," who, according to the lesson, "created and maintained" this culture in order "to hold power and stay in power."
• 
Next, reading from This Book Is Antiracist, the students learned that "those with privilege have power over others" and that "folx who do not benefit from their social identities, who are in the subordinate culture, have little to no privilege and power."
• 
As an example, the reading states that "a white, cisgender man, who is able-bodied, heterosexual, considered handsome and speaks English has more privilege than a Black transgender woman."

Following this discussion, the teacher had the students deconstruct their own intersectional identities and "circle the identities that hold power and privilege" on their identity maps, ranking their traits according to the hierarchy.

• 
The Boston Marathon bomber is suing the federal government for hundreds of thousands of dollars over confiscation of a baseball cap and limited showers at the prison where he's serving a life sentence.
• 
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 26, who was sentenced to death for the 2013 bombing that killed three people and injured more than 260 near the race's finish line, is demanding $250,000 in the handwritten suit filed Monday.
• 
Tsarnaev's lawsuit accuses the government of "unlawful, unreasonable and discriminatory" treatment of him.
• 
His death sentence was overturned by an appeals court to life in prison over a question about jury selection.  The decision has been appealed to the U.S.  Supreme Court.
• 
He cited the confiscation of a white baseball cap and a bandana and a limit of three showers a week as part of his alleged mistreatment that he claimed was contributing to his "mental and physical decline."
• 
Tsarnaev wrote that his hat was taken because he was told it was "disrespectful" to wear a baseball cap similar to one he was seen wearing in surveillance footage during the investigation.

      Biden says Capitol was stormed by ‘riotous mob,' 'domestic terrorists’  (Fox 01/07/2021)
• 
... Biden charged Trump with "inciting a mob to attack the Capitol," which he said was the culmination of four years of "unrelenting attack" by the president "on the institutions of our democracy."
• 
The president-elect argued that the "past four years we've had a president who's made his contempt of our democracy, our Constitution, the rule of law, clear, in everything he has done.  He unleashed an all-out assault on the institutions of our democracy from the outset.  And yesterday was but the culmination of that unrelenting attack."
• 
Biden emphasized that "what we witnessed yesterday was not dissent, it was not disorder, it was not protest.  It was chaos.  They weren't protesters.  Don't dare call them protesters.  They were a riotous mob.  Insurrectionists.  Domestic terrorists.  It's that simple."
• 
Biden accused Trump of "inciting a mob to attack the Capitol, to threaten elected representatives of the people of this nation and even the vice president, to stop the Congress from ratifying the will of the American people in a just-completed, free and fair election.  Trying to use a mob the silence the voices of nearly 160 million Americans who summoned the courage in the face of a pandemic that threatened our health our lives to cast that sacred ballot."

• 
Cuomo, a Democrat, raised eyebrows when he announced that he was already writing a memoir about how he handled the outbreak in New York.
• 
The book, titled "American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic," was released in October.
• 
... much of the media have overlooked Cuomo's shortcomings, specifically his controversial nursing home policy that critics believe is responsible for thousands of deaths among senior citizens in his state.
• 
Cuomo has faced intense scrutiny over an order he issued back in late March that forced nursing homes to accept patients who tested positive for coronavirus, despite testing deficiencies for both residents and staff.
• 
Cuomo signed an executive order on May 11 reversing the policy, stopping hospitals from sending infected patients back to nursing homes and ramping up testing for staff.
• 
During that period, roughly 6,326 coronavirus patients were admitted in New York nursing homes, according to the state's own health department.
• 
Reports have shown that anywhere between 6,400 and 6,700 nursing home residents have died, but The Associated Press suggested in August that due to underreporting, the actual death toll could be higher than 11,000.

• 
A sustained effort is under way to deny children access to literature.  Under the slogan #DisruptTexts, critical-theory ideologues, schoolteachers and Twitter agitators are purging and propagandizing against classic texts — everything from Homer to F.  Scott Fitzgerald to Dr.  Seuss.
• 
Their ethos holds that children shouldn't have to read stories written in anything other than the present-day vernacular — especially those "in which racism, sexism, ableism, anti-Semitism, and other forms of hate are the norm," as young-adult novelist Padma Venkatraman writes in School Library Journal.
• 
No author is valuable enough to spare, Ms.  Venkatraman instructs: "Absolving Shakespeare of responsibility by mentioning that he lived at a time when hate-ridden sentiments prevailed, risks sending a subliminal message that academic excellence outweighs hateful rhetoric."
• 
The subtle complexities of literature are being reduced to the crude clanking of "intersectional" power struggles.

      One of America's largest school districts claims that the U.S.  education system is guilty of...  (JWR 12/21/2020)
• 
Seattle Public Schools recently held a training session for teachers in which American schools were deemed guilty of "spirit murder" against black students.
• 
The United States is a "race-based white-supremist society," the training instructed, and white teachers must "bankrupt [their] privilege in acknowledgement of [their] thieved inheritance."
• 
... the trainers begin by claiming that the teachers are colonizers of "the ancestral lands and traditional territories of the Puget Sound Coast Salish People."
• 
Then, next to an image of the Black Power fist, they claim that "the United States was built off the stolen labor of kidnapped and enslaved Black people's work, which created the profits that created our nation."
• 
The central message is that white teachers must recognize that they "are assigned considerable power and privilege in our society" because of their "possession of white skin."
• 
Consequently, to atone for their collective guilt, white teachers must be willing to reject their "whiteness" and become dedicated "anti-racist educator[s]."
• 
The trainers ... explain that any negative emotional reaction to being denounced for "whiteness" is an automatic response from the white teachers' "lizard-brain," which makes them "afraid that [they] will have to talk about sensitive issues such as race, racism, classism, sexism, or any kind of aˆ?ism.'"
• 
The trainers insist that the teachers "must commit to the journey," regardless of their emotional or intellectual hesitations.
• 
In the most disturbing portion of the session, the teachers discussed "spirit murder," which, according to Bettina Love, is the concept that American schools "murder the souls of Black children every day through systemic, institutionalized, anti-Black, state-sanctioned violence."
• 
Love, who originated the concept, declares that the education system is "invested in murdering the souls of Black children," even in the most ostensibly progressive institutions.
• 
At the conclusion of the training, teachers must explain how they will practice "anti-racist pedagogy," address the "current social justice movements taking place," and become "anti-racist outside the classroom."
• 
They are told to divide the world into "enemies, allies, and accomplices," and work toward the "abolition" of whiteness.
• 
They must, in other words, abandon the illusion of neutral teaching standards and get in the trenches of race-based activism.

      Teachers at posh NYC school release 8-page anti-racism manifesto, sparks uproar: report  (Fox 12/20/2020)
• 
One of NYC's poshest private schools is in an uproar over an anti-racist manifesto signed by dozens of faculty members with a sweeping list of demands.
• 
Those who disagree remain silent, the insider said.  "Parents are terrified to speak up for fear of retribution.  Parents are acting like spineless wimps."
• 
The wide-ranging faculty demands include:
• 
Hiring 12 full-time diversity officers, and multiple psychologists to support students "coping with race-based traumatic stress."
• 
Assigning a staffer dedicated to black students who have "complaints or face disciplinary action," and a full-time advocate to help black kids "navigate a predominantly white institution."
• 
Paying the student debt of black staffers upon hiring them.
• 
Requiring courses that focus on "Black liberation" and "challenges to white supremacy."
• 
Compensating any student of color who appears in Dalton promotional material.
• 
Abolishing high-level academic courses by 2023 if the performance of black students is not on par with non-blacks.
• 
Requiring "anti-racism" statements from all staffers.
• 
Overhauling the entire curriculum, reading lists and student plays to reflect diversity and social justice themes.
• 
Divesting from companies that "criminalize or dehumanize" black people, including private prisons and tech firms that manufacture police equipment or weapons.
• 
Donating 50 percent of all fundraising dollars to NYC public schools if Dalton is not representative of the city in terms of gender, race, socioeconomic background, and immigration status by 2025.
• 
Dalton officials said the document is just "a set of thought-starters created last summer by a group of faculty and staff responding to Dalton's commitment to becoming an anti-racist institution.
• 
"Dalton's teachers are refusing to come back until they are met."
• 
... Dalton kids were made to watch a PBS video called Being 12, in which "white kids are shamed for the sin of their skin color and told they are complicit in perpetuating racism."

But is he checking the boxes without getting the expertise?  His head of the VA, former Obama chief of staff Denis McDonough, isn't a veteran.  Buttigieg brings no background in transportation issues, and Granholm no special credentials on energy issues.  At HHS, Xavier Bercera did work on health issues as a congressman and as California's attorney general, but he's not a doctor or medical expert.
• 
As for the politics, the 38-year-old Buttigieg was a presidential rival who dropped out to back Biden just before Super Tuesday, and this is his reward.  And naturally his selection generated praise from LBGTQ groups.
• 
While Buttigieg has some familiarity with transportation issues as a former small-town mayor, he actually wanted to be U.N.  ambassador, but was boxed out by an Arican-American woman, Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
• 
Mayor Pete, who has no future in conservative Indiana, needed a high-profile post, and as a former McKinsey consultant he's probably as qualified as many other politicians and party hacks who have led DOT.
• 
... a Cabinet built for comfort, an assortment of Friends of Joe and Obama retreads, that lacks excitement, fresh thinking or big personalities.
• 
... the conflicting pressures from minority and other groups over this or that post may also signal a return to the politics of normalcy.

      Virginia Military Institute removes statue of Confederate 'Stonewall' Jackson  (Fox 12/07/2020)
• 
The Virginia Military Institute removed a prominent statue of Confederate Gen.  Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson on Monday, a project initiated this fall after allegations of systemic racism roiled the public college.
• 
Around 9:45 a.m., a crane plucked the larger-than-life statue that freshmen were once required to salute off its base and slowly hoisted it to the ground.
• 
The school's board voted to remove the statue in late October after The Washington Post published a story that described an "atmosphere of hostility and cultural insensitivity" at VMI, the oldest state-supported military college in the U.S.
• 
The Post's story also led to the ouster of VMI's superintendent, retired Army Gen.  J.H.  Binford Peay III, and prompted state officials to commit to hiring an outside firm to investigate the students' allegations.
• 
... it will be relocated to a nearby Civil War museum at a battlefield where dozens of VMI cadets were killed or wounded.

Under new rules that will govern the 2024 Academy Awards, no film will be eligible for Best Picture unless its producers obey an elaborate quota scheme requiring minority participation in myriad disciplines in front of the camera, behind it, or both.
• 
These rules resemble a mind-numbing blend of Critical Race Theory and a verbose algebra word problem.
• 
"Having at least one Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Black/African American, Indigenous/Native American/Alaskan Native, Middle Eastern/North African, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander or unspecified other underrepresented race or ethnicity as a ‘lead or significant supporting actor' is a potential requirement under the new guidelines, with those ethnicities also mentioned for prominent production and marketing jobs."
• 
Additionally, employing women, LGBTQ+, members of a racial or ethnic group, and people with cognitive or physical disabilities or who are deaf or hard of hearing might be required for at least 30 percent of actors in secondary and more minor roles; having a storyline centered on an underrepresented group; hiring creative leadership and department heads; maintaining at least 30 percent crew composition; paid internships; and representation in marketing and distribution also are potential areas in order to be a Best Picture contender."
• 
Given that the film "1917" concerns British and German soldiers battling in World War I, it's hard to imagine how this necessarily, overwhelmingly White film (which deserved this year's Best Picture award) could have navigated this maze of racial trenches.

"In the midst of protests and uprisings, there is often a loud call to denounce riots and looting.  But in her new book, author Vicky Osterweil argues that looting is a strategic resistance tactic that has been used for centuries to fight injustice."
• 
"When I use the word looting, I mean the mass expropriation of property, mass shoplifting during a moment of upheaval or riot.  That's the thing I'm defending.  I'm not defending any situation in which property is stolen by force," Osterweil said.
• 
"Most stores are insured; it's just hurting insurance companies on some level.  It's just money.  It's just property.  It's not actually hurting any people."
• 
"Looting strikes at the heart of property, of whiteness and of the police," Osterweil said.
• 
"And also, it provides people with an imaginative sense of freedom and pleasure, and helps them imagine a world that could be.  And I think that's a part of it that doesn't really get talked about — that riots and looting are experienced as sort of joyous and liberatory."

      Kamala Harris duped by Greta Thunberg impersonator in climate change phone call slamming...  (Fox 08/21/2020)
• 
The US Sun can reveal the infamous duo of Vovan and Lexus got a chat with Joe Biden's VP as they posed as Greta Thunberg offering dirt on Trump.
• 
Exclusive audio of the three-minute chat has California senator Kamala enthusiastically greeting who she thought was the teenage climate activist over the phone in around January.
• 
"Greta" claims she has "nightmares" about meeting Trump at the U.N.  last September as they talk over Kamala's climate plan and her campaign.
• 
The pranksters then say that they have a secret recording of Trump whispering "you will never achieve the goal" to Greta.
• 
"Greta" and a prankster posing as her dad Svante then offer to provide the audio to help the campaign.
• 
Kamala replies: "Thank you, that would be wonderful".
• 
The prank call - which happened after Harris dropped out of the Democratic race in December — begins as Kamala says: "Hello Greta, congratulations on all of your leadership, I am so inspired by your courage and your voice."
• 
"Greta" then asks if there is anyway she can support Kamala's campaign, saying it would be "cool".
• 
Speaking at the U.S.  Senate in Washington DC, the Democrat says she would like "Greta" to talk about her climate plan and encourages her to follow up with her policy team - with any support being "very helpful".
• 
"Greta" claims she has tried to speak to other politicians but not had any luck, and she laments being slammed by Russian leader Vladimir Putin was "not what I wanted".
• 
Kamala replies: "There are forces working against our movement and we have to fight for these things.  This is that moment, and you have been great warrior in this cause."
• 
The pranksters then claims "Greta" cannot eat or sleep when she sees Trump - saying she is "terrified" of what he is doing, and saying the meeting at the UN was "terrible".
• 
"Greta" says she shouted at Trump in a corridor urging him sign the Paris climate agreement.
• 
She adds that the President came over and "softly" whispered "you will never achieve the goal" in her ear.
• 
The pranksters try to keep up the fake anecdote as "Greta" says "he continued, he continued".
• 
But they are cut off by Kamala who offers words of encouragement for her cause.
• 
"Nothing that has been achieved in this world that has been about progress came without a fight, this is the nature of it, " Kamala said.
• 
"Greta" describes Trump's actions as "sick" - and then Svante offers up the recording to help "against this terrible man".
• 
Kamala seems interested in getting a copy of the audio - but then she goes to end the call, saying "I look forward to working with you".
• 
"Greta" and "Svante" then say they will be in the U.S.  soon and offer to meet up with Kamala, saying "I hope you won't arrest us".
• 
She can be heard saying "I don't want to go to jail" in the background as Kamala says "no, no, no".
• 
Kamala finishes the call saying "I look forward to seeing you, be well, and I'll talk to you soon, bye bye".

"They smoked you, p***y!" the man shooting the video then yells.  "You just got smoked, p***y!"
• 
The cop who was put in a headlock that night suffered a serious gash to the head that required staples, sources said.
• 
The "headlocker" is a known gang member who turned himself in a week later at the 46th Precinct, where the brawl happened, a law enforcement source said.
• 
He's been arrested 11 times with charges including gang assault, criminal possession of a loaded firearm and robbery, the source said.

At a meeting of the Community Education Council in Manhattan, some of the people who are supposed to help educate the children of New York City spent time attacking each other for being too white, instead of talking about reading or math.
• 
Robin Broshi said: "It hurts people when they see a white man bouncing a brown baby on their lap and they don't know the context.  That is harmful.  That makes people cry... I take that to heart and that hurts me.  I have to learn how to be a better white person."
• 
Thomas Wrocklage said: "I would like to know before this meeting adjourns how having my friend's nephew on my lap was hurtful to people and was racist.  Can you please explain?"
• 
Broshi yelled back: "I've explained it to you.  You can read a book.  Read a book.  Read ... ‘White Fragility.' Read ‘How To Talk To White People.' It's not my job to educate you.  You're an educated White man."
• 
"White Fragility" isn't really a book.  It's what we used to call a tract — a screed, a diatribe.  It's the kind of wild-eyed hate propaganda you push just before you decide to really start hurting people.  It's preemptive justification for abuse.

• 
... a 27-year-old man intentionally slammed his pickup head-on into a motorcyclist because he was "targeting a White person," leaving the rider dead...
• 
Authorities identified the deceased as 55-year-old Phillip Thiessen, a Marine veteran and former Virginia police officer who had retired from a career with the Wisconsin Department of Justice, where he'd investigated crimes against children.
• 
Investigators arrived at the scene to find Thiessen's body, witnesses trying to render aid, and Navarro standing nearby waiting for deputies.
• 
... Navarro stated he had intentionally slammed into the motorcycle and passed a field sobriety test.
• 
Navarro allegedly targeted the motorcycle due to the rider's race and the fact that injuries in such a crash would likely be fatal.  Navarro was unhurt.
• 
His purported antagonists were all "Caucasian," according to the criminal complaint, and he claimed they were targeting him because he is "Mexican."
• 
Navarro allegedly chose his target because "White people drive motorcycles."

      Seattle held 'segregated' training session on 'undoing whiteness,' encouraged staffers to forfeit...  (Fox 07/08/2020)
• 
... held a racially segregated employee training session aimed at White staffers and instructing them on "undoing your own whiteness" in order to be held accountable by people of color.
• 
One handout distributed in the session reportedly declared how "racism is not our fault but we are responsible." Another said White staffers must give up "the land" and their "guaranteed physical safety" in order to be an "accomplice" for racial justice.
• 
"The City of Seattle held a training session for white employees called 'Interrupting Internalized Racial Superiority and Whiteness.'"
• 
In the email invitation to the event, the office asked "city employees who identify as white to join this training to learn, reflect, challenge ourselves, and build skills and relationships that help us show up more fully as allies and accomplices for racial justice."
• 
"We'll examine our complicity in the system of white supremacy – how we internalize and reinforce it – and begin to cultivate practices that enable us to interrupt racism in ways to be accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) folks within our community."
• 
Those who attended the session were shown handouts, including one that encouraged them to cultivate "networks with other white people who are practicing antiracist accomplicehood so you can talk through your struggles in the work of undoing your own whiteness."
• 
Diversity trainers instructed White employees in "practicing self-talk that affirms our complicity in racism."
• 
"Racism is not our fault but we are responsible," one bullet point declared.
• 
In order to be considered "accomplices," White employees must give up "comfort," "guaranteed physical safety," "expectations or presumptions of emotional safety," "control over other people and over the land," and "relationships with some other white people."
• 
White employees were also urged to give up "niceties from neighbors and colleagues," "the certainty of your job," and "accepting jobs and promotions when we are not qualified, including racial equity jobs."
• 
Employees were presented with a flowchart that demonstrated how "white people keep the system going" by being socialized "to cause harm to POC," "justify why we are superior and have been wronged by POC," "use anger, self-righteousness and defensiveness [to] mask fear, shame, or guilt," "show up small and inauthentic," and finally are "unable to imagine a way forward that comes from a place of humanity," thus reinforcing the status quo.
• 
Those who attended the session were also shown a datasheet titled "Assimilation into Whiteness," which claimed to document how those of Arab, Jewish, Finnish, German, Italian, Armenian or Irish descent still classify as White.
• 
Employees were taught how to "interrupt" their whiteness by being "honest and implicate yourself either in the moment or in past experiences in which you acted or thought similarly."
• 
"Don't blame others.  Don't distance.  Don't make yourself seem 'better.' None of us is," a handout said.  "You are also white and what someone else did today you may do tomorrow."
• 
"Internalized Racial Superiority," was defined by perfectionism, individualism, imposition, arrogance, paternalism, silence, intellectualization, control, violence, comfort, appropriation, cognitive dissonance, objectivity and "anti-blackness."

• 
An online petition to change the name of Columbus, Ohio, has gathered over 25,000 signatures after the organizer suggested they borrow an idea from Guy Fieri and call it "Flavortown" instead.
• 
The petition, started by Tyler Woodbridge, comes amid backlash to the city's public statues of Christopher Columbus, which Mayor Andrew J.  Ginther recently described as a representation of "our ugly past."
• 
Across the country, other statues of Christopher Columbus have been torn down, defaced or removed in response to growing criticism over Columbus' legacy in the Americas.
• 
"Columbus is an amazing city, but one whose name is tarnished by the very name itself," argues Woodbridge in his Change.org petition.
• 
"Its namesake, Christopher Columbus, is in The Bad Place because of all his raping, slave trading, and genocide.  That's not exactly a proud legacy."
• 
Woodbridge proposed "Flavortown" as a replacement, he says, for two reasons: "For one, it honors Central Ohio's proud heritage as a culinary crossroads and one of the nation's largest test markets for the food industry.  Secondly, cheflebrity Guy Fieri was born in Columbus, so naming the city in honor of him (he's such a good dude, really) would be superior to its current nomenclature."

• 
"The feeling among the black journalists at The Los Angeles Times who frankly educated the rest of us to the fact that looting had a pejorative racist connotation and that comparing it to the kind of behavior of the police and the kind of behavior that we witnessed really was a false equivalency and yet it was one that we were making as journalists if you picked up a copy of our paper."

• 
University of Michigan professor Justin Wolfers and dozens of other academics are leading a massive effort to have a senior faculty member at the University of Chicago removed from his position at the world's preeminent economics journal — all because he criticized Black Lives Matter's push to defund police departments.
• 
The attack on a leading academic at the University of Chicago, traditionally a bastion of free speech and no-nonsense conservative economic theory, comes as swarms of left-wing activists have successfully secured numerous firings across the country for viewpoints they deem politically unacceptable.
• 
In one extraordinary case this week, an LA Galaxy soccer player was summarily fired because of his wife's posts on Black Lives Matter.
• 
In a petition addressed to the management of the Journal of Political Economy, the professors accuse senior editor Harald Uhlig of "trivializing the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement" and "hurting and marginalizing people of color and their allies in the economics profession."
• 
Black Lives Matter advocates for a "collective ownership" economic model, reparations, and the "immediate release" of everyone convicted of a drug offense, in addition to defunding police forces and other left-wing agenda items.
• 
The New York Times' Paul Krugman, an anti-Trump columnist who famously declared that the Internet would prove less important than fax machines, joined in on the attack, writing: "Editor of the Journal of Political Economy, a powerful gatekeeper in the profession.  And yet another privileged white man who evidently can't control his urge to belittle the concerns of those less fortunate."
• 
Wolfers, who kickstarted the petition alongside Michigan State University professor Scott Imberman, further criticized Uhlig for "disagreeing with the actions of [ex-NFL star Colin] Kaepernick."
• 
Liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg also opposed Kaepernick's kneeling during the national anthem, but that position has now become retroactively unacceptable in progressive circles.  (Ginsburg said Kaepernick's kneeling was both "dumb" and "disrespectful.")
• 
Wolfers did not respond when asked by Fox News whether he would seek Ginsburg's ouster from the Supreme Court.
• 
"Racists shouldn't be allowed to gatekeep our profession," charged University of Victoria economist Rob Gillezeau.  (Even Wolfers had stopped short of calling Uhlig a racist.)

Klein asked how he would be able to identify the black students given that the class is online and noted that the teacher's assistant is from Minneapolis.

"One last thing strikes me: Remember that MLK famously said that people should not be evaluated based on the ‘color of their skin,'" Klein added.  "Do you think that your request would run afoul of MLK's admonition?"

      Millionaire Hollywood leftists use coronavirus as excuse to justify socialist policies  (Fox 05/10/2020)
• 
What, exactly, do these Hollywood sages contend can save humanity from destruction?  They don't spell out the details, but it sure sounds an awful lot like socialism to me.
• 
For example, in order to avoid the "existential threat" of a "massive extinction of life on Earth," the signatories say we must give up the "pursuit of consumerism and an obsession with productivity" and instead embrace a "politics of social equity" – a strategy that would require a "radical transformation."
• 
With Marxist phrases like "obsession with productivity" and "radical transformation," the letter sounds like something you might hear listening to one of Rep.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's riveting Instagram rants, or perhaps a call for a revolution at a Bernie Sanders campaign rally – before the millionaire socialist senator from Vermont was forced out of the presidential race by the Democratic Party establishment.

• 
"Believing everything doesn't make you noble, it makes you gullible.  And it leaves us with a world where Republicans don't care about this stuff, so it's just a unilateral weapon that is used only against Democrats.  Trump rides the bus with Billy Bush, we throw Al Franken under it."
•

• 
"It's part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anemic and spotty.  It would have been bad even with the best of governments.  It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset — of ‘what's in it for me' and ‘to heck with everybody else' — when that mindset is operationalized in our government."

" I said ... 'I have money and I'd like to purchase some of those.' They said I couldn't, they have no masks to sell me.  It's criminal what is happening."
• 
... criticism is not directed towards the "workers in the factories at 3M who are working 24 hours a day to try to create this life-saving PPE.  This is about the executives who decided not to put America first and it's going to have devastating consequences."

"Since when do we have a U.S.  company that sells masks and I try to offer them money and they don't sell them to me?  I have to go through their authorized distributors and their only excuse is that they don't have a perfect system."
•

      After mocking Trump for promoting hydroxychloroquine, journalists acknowledge it might treat...  (Fox 04/02/2020)
• 
After repeatedly mocking President Trump for suggesting on March 19 that hydroxychloroquine could be an effective treatment for coronavirus, media organizations have begun acknowledging that the drug — now approved for emergency use to treat coronavirus by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — may be useful after all.
• 
But media outlets' misinformation on hydroxychloroquine was unique because it involved not simply policy disagreements but also suggestive medical advice and directives that could have dissuaded some from seeking certain treatments.
• 
Michigan Gov.  Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, went from threatening doctors who prescribed the drug with "administrative action" to requesting that the federal government ship her state some.
• 
"Trump peddles unsubstantiated hope in dark times," read a March 20 "analysis" by CNN's Stephen Collinson.
• 
Saying Trump was "adopting the audacity of false hope" and embracing "premature optimism," Collinson charged that "there's no doubt he overhyped the immediate prospects for the drug" because the FDA refused to give a timeline on approving the drug to treat coronavirus.
• 
"Trump is giving people false hope of coronavirus cures.  It's all snake oil," read one Washington Post headline.
• 
Added the Post's editorial board: "Trump is spreading false hope for a virus cure — and that's not the only damage."
• 
"Mr.  Trump's inappropriate hype has already led to hoarding of hydroxychloroquine and diverted supplies from people with other maladies who need it.  His comments are raising false hopes.  Rather than roll the dice on an unproven therapy, let's deposit our trust in the scientists."
• 
USA Today's editorial board was similarly aggressive and mocking, writing, "Coronavirus treatment: Dr.  Donald Trump peddles snake oil and false hope."
• 
"There are no approved therapies or drugs to treat COVID-19 yet, but the president hypes preliminary chloroquine trials at White House briefing and unproven remedies on Twitter."
• 
... called Trump's hope in the new treatment his "most dangerous flim-flam: False hope and quack advice."
• 
The New Yorker pondered "The Meaning of Donald Trump's Coronavirus Quackery," observing that Trump's "pronouncements are a reminder, if one was needed, of his scorn for rigorous science, even amid the worst pandemic to hit the U.S.  in a century."
• 
Michael Cohen, a Boston Globe columnist, urged networks to stop airing Trump's coronavirus press briefings because he was spreading "misinformation" about a potential cure.
• 
And, NBC News complained, "Trump, promoting unproven drug treatments, insults NBC reporter at coronavirus briefing."
• 
Meanwhile, it has emerged that the Arizona woman who said she and her husband drank fish-tank cleaner to ward off coronavirus has donated heavily to Democrats and acknowledges she's not a Trump supporter — despite news reports that she ingested the dangerous drug because she trusted what she thought was the president's advice.
• 
The 61-year-old woman, whose first name is Wanda but has asked for her full identity to be withheld, survived the ordeal.
• 
Her 68-year-old husband, Gary, did not.  Wanda has said that she and her husband each took a "teaspoon" of the fish-tank cleaner;
• 
"I saw it sitting on the back shelf and thought, 'Hey, isn't that the stuff they're talking about on TV?'"
• 
... the woman and her husband ingested the additive chloroquine phosphate, which has been used in aquariums to kill microscopic organisms that might harm fish and other aquatic animals.
• 
Several media organizations that confused the chloroquine medication with chloroquine phosphate later issued corrections.
• 
The New York Times, though, all but accused Trump of recommending the same substance in the fish-tank cleaner.
• 
Nevertheless, Wanda drew national attention by claiming that Trump had suggested she consume the fish-tank cleaner with her husband, and that she did so to avoid "getting sick."
• 
"My advice is don't believe anything that the president says and his people because they don't know what they're talking about," Wanda told NBC New...
• 
"Your psycho prez is in [t]own, are you going to see him?" Wanda wrote on Facebook ... by way of wishing a friend a happy birthday.

• 
"[T]he Roberts Court has been anything but passive," wrote Adelman, who was appointed to the bench by President Bill Clinton.
• 
"Rather, the Court's hard-right majority is actively participating in undermining American democracy.  Indeed, the Roberts Court has contributed to ensuring that the political system in the United States pays little attention to ordinary Americans and responds only to the wishes of a relatively small number of powerful corporations and individuals."
• 
... said the court "increased the economic and political power of corporations and wealthy individuals and reduced that of ordinary Americans and entities which represent them."
• 
Adelman was even unhappy with Roberts' own opinion and key vote that upheld ObamaCare because it knocked down its expansion of Medicaid.
• 
He said this "thwarted Congress' efforts to address one of the most serious problems that the poor face, the lack of health insurance[.]"
• 
"The zealous partisanship the Republicans displayed in connection with the Garland nomination, as well as judicial appointments generally reminds one of nothing so much as the ‘fire-eaters,' those fervent defenders of slavery who pushed the South into the Civil War."
• 
Ultimately, though, Adelman's focus was on Roberts, insisting that he has exhibited a harmful bias and that his description of a Supreme Court justice was of an umpire who "calls the balls and strikes" was "a masterpiece of disingenuousness."
• 
He concluded with a dire warning that the current state of the judiciary has contributed to "a new and arguably dangerous phase in American history" that requires fixing and necessitates "every bit of democratic resourcefulness that we can muster to undo the damage that the Court has already caused."

"Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads.  The U.S.  population is 327 million.  He could have given each American $1 million and still have money left over, I feel like a $1 million check would be life-changing for people.  Yet he wasted it all on ads and STILL LOST."
• 
"It's an incredible way of putting it," Williams gushed.
• 
"It's an incredible way of putting it.  It's true," Gay agreed.
• 
In reality, however, had Bloomberg divvied his advertising dollars among all Americans, the per-capita cash-out would have been more like $1.53 per person – not even enough to take a ride on New York City's subway.
• 
"What is wrong with these people?  This would be right here if there were 327 people in the US.  And this reflects horribly on the NY Times too.  Can someone stop and think for two seconds?"
• 
As for the author of the original post, her account was set to private — and in her Twitter bio she wrote: "I know, I'm bad at math."

      EXCLUSIVE: Chicago subway video captures man being attacked by 11 teens  (Fox 02/07/2020)
• 
The brutal beating of a 68-year-old man by 11 teens on a passenger train here Monday was captured in a disturbing, graphic video
• 
... the beating is under investigation, but no one is in custody because the victim "was unable to identify his attacker(s) due to his injuries."
• 
... State's Attorney's Office "wouldn't touch" the case if the victim can't identify those accused or is unable to cooperate.
• 
The footage shows one of the female teens first trying to pickpocket the victim while he's asleep.  The man awakens, tries to fend off the teens, but the woman drags and beats the man.
• 
She then appears to run to another car, and returns with a group of teens including five men and two women.  They surround the man seated on the train.
• 
One man pummels the victim, even lifting himself up on the train's bars to repeatedly kick him in the upper body and face.
• 
The video also appears to show many bystanders failing to intervene.
• 
... the 68-year-old man was left to bleed on Chicago's red line train.

• 
... the head impeachment manager, California Rep.  Adam Schiff, suggested that Russians could attack the U.S.  and insisted that removing Trump from office was necessary because the integrity of the 2020 election could not be "assured."
• 
"As one witness put it during our impeachment inquiry, the United States aids Ukraine and her people so that we can fight Russia over there, and we don't have to fight Russia here," Schiff said.
• 
Schiff attracted the most criticism, however, for later making the head-turning argument that Trump must be removed from office by the Senate — rather than by voters in the 2020 election — because it is impossible to be sure the 2020 election won't be compromised.
• 
"The president's misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won," Schiff remarked.  He did not elaborate.
• 
Attempting to underscore the human cost of Trump's temporary aid holdup, Schiff further asserted that the money was "designed to help Ukraine defend itself from the Kremlin's aggression" and that "more than 15,000 Ukrainians have died fighting Russian forces and their proxies."

      Guilfoyle blasts 'dangerous' San Fran DA who was raised by Ayers, worked for Chavez  (Fox 01/20/2020)
• 
Chesa Boudin, who was elected last November, was raised by Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, notorious former leaders of the Weather Underground domestic terror group.
• 
His parents, also Weather Underground members, went to jail for their part as getaway drivers in a 1981 heist of $1.6 million from a Brinks truck by a group of radical black nationalists.
• 
In his 20s, Boudin worked for the late socialist president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.
• 
Boudin, at whose inauguration Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared via video, ran on a platform of radical change including allowing "immigration-safe" plea deals to prevent the deportation of illegal immigrants, requiring prosecutors to write a "racial impact statement" in each case they pursue and ending policies that increase the sentences for crimes committed by gang members.
• 
He has also said he would not prosecute "quality-of-life" crimes, including public urination.
• 
"Thank you, Justice Sotomayor, for your leadership, the example you set for all of us, and for your thoughtful words of support."
• 
"I'm humbled by your support of our movement & I promise to do the work required to make our vision of a just society a reality."
• 
... he "found inspiration in the commitment and the values of the people around me [while working for Chavez].  And so I stayed."

"From my computer in [one Chavez staffer's office] I took to signing my e-mails to friends and family ‘in the belly of the revolution.'"

• 
The fifth night of Hanukkah marked the sixth anti-Semitic attack in New York City this week, a disturbing sign of anti-Semitism on the rise.
• 
The latest attack unfolded Thursday in Brooklyn, where police said they arrested a woman who allegedly assaulted another woman, calling her a "f***ing Jew."
• 
The string of incidents began Monday, when a 28-year-old man allegedly punched and kicked a 65-year-old man in Manhattan while screaming, "F** you, Jew."
• 
Later that day, police were alerted of another incident in Brooklyn, where a group of teenagers allegedly approached a 6-year-old child from behind, striking him inside the lobby of a residential building.
• 
On Tuesday, a group of teenagers allegedly yelled "f** you, Jew," at a 25-year-old man as he walked down the street in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, before hurling their Slurpee on him.
• 
Hours later, a suspect punched a Jewish man in the back of the head while another filmed the attack.
• 
The uptick in anti-Semitic crimes came less than two weeks after the targeted attack and shootout at a kosher deli in Jersey City that left several dead.

• 
A German railway company has taken back an apology they made to Greta Thunberg after they realized the climate activist wasn't schlepping it on the train's floor but instead was treated "friendly" in first class.
• 
The rail company was responding to an image Thunberg tweeted of herself sitting amid bags and suitcases on the floor of what she called "overcrowded trains through Germany."
• 
... initially released a statement that said they "continue working hard on getting more trains, connections and seats."
• 
They also thanked Thunberg for supporting the company's battle against climate change and pointed out that the train she used had been running 100 percent on eco-friendly electricity.
• 
But upon reflection, Deutsche Bahn said that Thunberg's "overcrowded" claims were just hot air.
• 
The rail company claimed that the teenager had a seat in first class ... and that other members of her team were already sitting in first class...  from Frankfurt onwards.
• 
Thunberg then claimed that jam-packed trains were actually great and having to sit on the floor wasn't an issue.
• 
"... this is no problem of course and I never said it was.  Overcrowded trains is a great sign because it means the demand for train travel is high!"

• 
The 150-year old bank also included a cheat of potential pronouns and how they could be used.  The gender-neutral "Ze/ Zir (Zem)" can be used in a sentence such as "Ze went to the store" or "I spoke with zir / zem," the company explains.

As part of phase one of the initiative, employees will also be able to attach flags to their desks that identify them including as an "ally" or "LGBT member."

      Cuccinelli fires back at O'Malley, calls behavior 'sad' and 'shocking'  (Fox 11/28/2019)
• 
"When I turned to look I saw O'Malley and he was obviously screaming at me.  For a moment I thought he was trying to be funny, as we've met before, which I thought was strange.  It was immediately clear that he was cursing and screaming for real, to the point of veins bulging on his neck."
• 
O'Malley had "also inspired one or two of his (apparent) buddies to join in the cussing assault," which the Trump official said he attempted to ignore.
• 
Cuccinelli said he proceeded to attempt to order at a different bar within The Dubliner, but that O'Malley followed him.
• 
O'Malley pushed his way through the small group to confront me face to face, still cursing me, the President, and my Italian ancestry and he got right up in my face, bumped up against me and invited me to take a swing at him at which point I said ‘Martin, one of us has to rise above this, and it's obviously not going to be you.'"
• 
... some of O'Malley's comments about Trump's immigration policy were "odd" due to the fact that "they applied to President Obama's policies, a fact he clearly did not appreciate me pointing out (without screaming it, btw)."
• 
... O'Malley defended his actions ... noting that he and other graduates were blasting Cuccinelli due to the former Trump administration immigration policy that separated families at the Southern border.
• 
"We all let him know how we felt about him putting refugee immigrant kids in cages — certainly not what we were taught by the Jesuits at Gonzaga."
• 
... adding that Cuccinelli is "the son of immigrant grandparents who cages children for a fascist president."
• 
"Martin O'Malley just drove Ken Cuccinelli out of the Dubliner in DC w/ a passion-laced and shame-invoking tirade on behalf of immigrant refugee children!!!"

      Ohio woman wearing fur is stabbed by animal-rights activist in church, police say  (Fox 11/21/2019)
• 
An Ohio animal rights activist allegedly stabbed a woman in a church on Wednesday because she was wearing fur.
• 
... stabbed the woman wearing fur boots based on a prior arrest in 2012, in which Lowell was charged with attempting to hire a hitman to kill a person wearing fur.
• 
When police arrived at the church, they found the young woman lying on the ground surrounded by blood, clutching her left side.
• 
A man was pinning Lowell down to the floor nearby, waiting for police, according to the report.
• 
Lowell stabbed the victim twice in her arm and once in her abdomen.
• 
In 2012, Lowell allegedly posted several times on social media looking for someone willing to kill a person wearing fur.
• 
"I would like to create an online community on Facebook which would allow me to find someone who is willing to kill someone who is wearing fur..."
• 
After multiple evaluations, psychologists determined Lowell was not competent to stand trial because of mental disease or defect.
• 
An evaluation was completed to determine if Lowell posed a danger to herself or others.
• 
... she had passed a handwritten note to jail guards shortly after her 2012 arrest.  The note stated that if Lowell were to be released, she would contract another hit man to kill a person wearing fur or even do the deed herself...
• 
However, a forensic evaluation later determined that though she was not competent to stand trial, did not pose a risk to herself, the general public or to property.
• 
Fast-forward to 2018, when Lowell reportedly stabbed a woman.  Her motives were unknown.
• 
She was charged with felonious assault and released on a $5,000 bond.
• 
Her case was transferred to mental health court, specialized for individuals with documented mental health issues.

Climate change is the cause, and legislation, putting government in charge of everything, is the answer.

Climate change is the perfect villain.  It is nameless, faceless, and most of all, it is everywhere.

At first the evils of climate change were relegated to the climate meaning blistering heat.

But then, so too is the polar vortex blamed on climate change.  As is too much snow or a lack of snow.
• 
Over time every phenomena in nature from hurricanes to tornados to typhoons to earthquakes were caused or exacerbated by climate change.
• 
But why stop at nature?  What if we can show that climate change is the "real" cause of illegal immigration and also the need for greater government-run health care?
• 
What if climate change contributes to racism, and misogyny?

• 
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi whined that she hadn't been given appropriate notice of the operation — as if it were all about her.
• 
Former Obama National Intelligence Director James Clapper, meanwhile, told television viewers that, somehow, the killing of the ISIS leader would make ISIS stronger.
• 
And then on CNN, some compared the president to ISIS.  ... "Some of which sort of echoed, frankly, the crudeness you would often expect to hear maybe from ISIS about the whimpering, screaming Baghdadi pinned down in a sealed tunnel."
• 
Philip Mudd, CNN counterterrorism analyst: "You do not celebrate death.  I don't care if it's a terrorist.  I don't care if it's someone you hate.  A human being has died.  We don't celebrate that.  I would not use that and I find it — it's embarrassing."
• 
"I would not use that language," says the guy who is making a career out of screaming and foaming on television.
• 
... one of the reporters compiled a listicle called "The 41 Most Shocking Lines from Donald Trump's Baghdadi Announcement." — CNN really reaching new lows every day.
• 
Boot complained that Trump wasn't respectful enough of Baghdadi: "Trump could not have heard whimpering and crying because there was no audio.  The assertion that Baghdadi died as a coward was contradicted by the fact that rather than be captured, he blew himself up."
• 
In other words, says Max Boot, Baghdadi was a hero of sorts and shame on Trump for calling him a coward!
• 
... MSNBC devoted significant coverage to the question of whether Baghdadi actually "whimpered" before he died.
•

• 
Crime-ridden San Francisco has introduced new sanitized language for criminals, getting rid of words such as "offender" and "addict" while changing "convicted felon" to "justice-involved person."
• 
The Board of Supervisors adopted the changes last month even as the city reels from one of the highest crime rates in the country and staggering inequality exemplified by pervasive homelessness alongside Silicon Valley wealth.
• 
The local officials say the new language will help change people's views about those who commit crimes.
• 
... from now on a convicted felon or an offender released from custody will be known as a "formerly incarcerated person," or a "justice-involved" person or just a "returning resident."
• 
A juvenile "delinquent" will now be called a "young person with justice system involvement," or a "young person impacted by the juvenile justice system."

And drug addicts or substance abusers, meanwhile, will become "a person with a history of substance use."

"We don't want people to be forever labeled for the worst things that they have done."
•

      Harriet Tubman belongs on $20 bill – Congress should make Trump put her there in 2020  (Fox 06/11/2019)
• 
President Trump earlier expressed opposition to replacing Andrew Jackson – his favorite president – with Tubman on the $20 bill, calling the move "pure political correctness."
• 
Trump directed that a large portrait of Jackson be hung in the Oval Office soon after taking office and has called Jackson "an amazing figure in American history."
• 
"The Administration's decision to drag their feet and delay the redesign of the $20 until 2028 is unacceptable."

"Our currency must reflect the important role women, and especially women of color, have played in our nation's history."

When one looks at President Trump's history, it's understandable why he resists efforts to put Harriet Tubman onto the $20 bill and instead prefers his hero Andrew Jackson.
• 
President Jackson was also known for paying very little attention to Congress and sharply criticizing lawmakers who opposed him.  Remind you of anyone?

He has reportedly used an expletive – "s***hole countries" – to describe the nations of Africa.

• 
... accuses the Israeli government of willfully "aligning with the virulent Islamophobia" of white supremacist groups in the U.S.  — and links Israel indirectly to the Oct.  2018 massacre of 11 congregants at a Pittsburgh synagogue.
• 
... would mandate that Democrat officials work to "nullify" President Trump's pro-Israel policies.  One document directs party officials to take a subsidized trip to Israel only "if they undertake to devote an equal amount of time to visiting Palestinian towns, villages and refugee camps in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories."
• 
Tentatively titled "Commending the House for resolving to fight all racism and bigotry and for resisting the false conflation of support for Palestinian rights with antisemitism," the resolution blasting Israel's purported role in furthering white supremacy was authored by David Mandel, an elected state Assembly delegate and progressive attorney who says he holds dual U.S.-Israel citizenship and lived in Israel for 10 years.
• 
The document calls the October synagogue shooting "the culmination of an alarming re-emergence of virulent antisemitism that is a core element of historical and currently resurgent white supremacism in the United States and around the world."
• 
The "Israeli government, along with some of its U.S.  backers," the resolution continues, "welcomed support from Christian fundamentalist and ultra-right groups in the United States and abroad, dangerously ignoring their deeply rooted antisemitism while aligning with their virulent Islamophobia."
• 
"What we're saying is the Israeli government is aligning itself with right-wing governments around the world, including in this country, and those right-wing groups — a core tenet of their ideology is antisemitism."

• 
Back when police were vigorously pursuing suspects following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, a senior communications adviser and speechwriter with 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders wrote, "Let's hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American" — and then confidently doubled down hours later, in a separate piece entitled, "I still hope the bomber is a white American."
• 
The "specific identity of the Boston Marathon bomber (or bombers) is not some minor detail — it will almost certainly dictate what kind of governmental, political and societal response we see in the coming weeks."
• 
"That means regardless of your particular party affiliation, if you care about everything from stopping war to reducing the defense budget to protecting civil liberties to passing immigration reform, you should hope the bomber was a white domestic terrorist.  Why?  Because only in that case will privilege work to prevent the Boston attack from potentially undermining progress on those other issues."
• 
"If recent history is any guide, if the bomber ends up being a white anti-government extremist, white privilege will likely mean the attack is portrayed as just an isolated incident — one that has no bearing on any larger policy debates."
• 
"Put another way, white privilege will work to not only insulate whites from collective blame, but also to insulate the political debate from any fallout from the attack."
• 
"The reason ... to hope that the bomber ends up being a white American is because the double standard may prevent an overreaction to the heinous attacks in Boston."

      America rescued Ilhan Omar and her family, but to hear her tell it, we are the ones who...  (JWR 03/11/2019)
• 
... freshman Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar has consistently made news with her anti-Semitism...
• 
Less noticed ... is the hostility Omar shows in public statements about her adopted country.
• 
What is surprising is the extent to which her narrative consists of complaints about the intolerance, racism, inequity, and filth that she found when she came to the United States, and since.
• 
Gratitude, for the country and the people who saved and welcomed her family, is largely absent from her telling.
• 
Life in American was not like the images she saw in the welcome video, Omar insists.
• 
"When we landed I saw panhandlers on the side of the streets, there being trash everywhere, and graffiti on the side of the walls."
• 
We continue to disappoint her.
• 
"The current reality that people live in ... an America where you can't access the justice system equally because you are born with a different race, or a different gender, or are born into a different class, that isn't the America that I heard about, that isn't the America that I watched."
• 
... she noticed "a disconnect between the ideals of America and the actual reality."
• 
She did not expect ... to "go to school with kids who were worried about food as much as I was worried about it in a refugee camp."
• 
America is not only as deprived as an East African refugee camp, the country is also filled with people who don't recognize how lucky they are to admit people like Ilhan Omar.
• 
Like many on the left, Omar believes that America's purpose is to admit immigrants and make them feel welcome.
• 
To the extent that Americans "make room" for the next wave of immigrants, they fulfill the American dream; to the extent that they fail to be welcoming, they betray it.
• 
Omar's colleague in the House of Representatives, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has arguably become the Democrats' domestic-policy leader, just as Omar now appears to be their leader on foreign policy, holds this view as well.
• 
"Those women and children," she told ... referring to illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America, "trying to come here with nothing but the shirts on their back to create an opportunity and provide for this nation, are acting more in the American tradition" than opponents of open borders.
• 
The American Dream once referred to the aspirations of Americans to provide better lives for their children.
• 
For the Left, that idea has come to mean the intentions of anyone, anywhere, who wants to come here.
• 
From this perspective, the people who now live in the U.S.  are superfluous to America and the American idea.
• 
We are placeholders, keeping things together until tomorrow's Americans — more deserving, though apparently less appreciative — get here.
• 
Meantime, we can try to survive this hellish existence until they arrive to bail us out.

A history professor at Drexel University slammed President Trump as the "first fascist president" and compared him to Hitler...
• 
... Professor Robert Zaller said under Trump's presidency, "this country is in the deepest and most awful trouble any of us have known."
• 
Trump has "remolded" America, according to the Drexel educator, as "a beleaguered master race, threatened by invaders who would usurp its wealth, destroy its character and contaminate its gene pool."
• 
Zaller wrote that Trump's plot is to take down the "so-called ‘deep state'" and "drive the plotters from their dark corners" to "dismantle the state itself, leaving only the Leader, Trump himself, in command."
• 
... described Trump as taking a "sledgehammer" to the different branches of government, using the "fake news" label to spread propaganda, and seeking to destroy democracy, not just in America, but all over the world.
• 
"No political leader since Hitler has taken more deliberate aim at other democracies as well as his own," Zaller wrote, adding that Trump has done so by "insulting their leaders, mocking their societies, and flat-out lying" about their countries.
• 
"At the same time," he said, "Trump has, one by one, embraced the world's most obnoxious despots.  They are in fact his kin, and if he is not yet able to rub out opponents, launch bloodbaths, and run gulags, it is not for lack of ambition," which can be summed up in Trump's embrace of North Korea's dictator, Kim Jong-un.

• 
White people who do a downward-facing dog are contributing to a "system of power, privilege, and oppression," according to a Michigan State University professor.
• 
Shreena Gandhi, a religious studies professor at Michigan State, claims in an article she recently co-authored that Americans who practice yoga are contributing to white supremacy and promote the "yoga industrial complex."
• 
White Americans should learn yoga's history, acknowledge the cultural appropriation they engage in and possibly reduce the cost of yoga classes for poor people, a group that often includes people of color and "recent immigrants, such as Indian women to whom this practice rightfully belongs."
• 
She co-authored the piece titled "Yoga and the Roots of Cultural Appropriation," with Lillie Wolff, a self-described "anti-racist white Jewish organizer, facilitator, and healer," who has called for "decolonizing" yoga.
• 
The two argued "the explosion of yoga studios, yoga video, apps, yoga pants, and other yoga swag over the last two decades is evidence" of the "(mis)appropriation of yoga" that "is part of systemic racism" built on "the labor of black people and people of the global south."
• 
We would argue one of the goals of white supremacy is to buffer white people from the pain that comes from the process of exchanging cultural grounding for the unearned power and privilege of whiteness."
• 
"...this modern-day trend of cultural appropriation of yoga is a continuation of white supremacy and colonialism, maintaining the pattern of white people consuming the stuff of culture that is convenient and portable, while ignoring the well-being and liberation of Indian people."
• 
"Given a deeper analysis of yoga, white yoga practitioners and teachers can engage in yoga in a decolonizing way that reduces harm and seeks greater cultural accountability."
• 
"We must ask, in what ways are we complicit in a system that harms people of color, queer and trans people, poor people, people with disabilities, and immigrants?"

      Principal says Trump is worse than 9/11 terrorist  (Fox ks/0/2017)
• 
The principal of a fancy New York City private school says the election of President Trump is worse than the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
• 
Steve Nelson, principal of the Calhoun School, fired off a hate-filled email to parents blasting the president.
• 
He also said Trump's election would be more devastating than Vietnam, Watergate and the assassination of the Rev.  Martin Luther King, Jr.
• 
Just to put this in perspective, the principal believes President Trump is worse than the Muslim hijackers who flew jetliners into buildings and slaughtered thousands of Americans.
• 
The principal would have us believe that he was more disturbed by Trump's election than the sight of New Yorkers falling from the sky or the Twin Towers collapsing onto the streets of lower Manhattan.
• 
In the liberal mindset, conservatives who support traditional marriage and securing the border and gun rights are not just deplorable.  They believe we are irredeemable deplorables.
• 
In other words, our beliefs make us beyond redemption.
• 
That's why so many parents and teachers defended Principal Nelson's hate speech.
• 
"I've been at the school for 19 years and there was not a message that got a more positive response than this one."
• 
"If this upset a few people I understand.  But you can't make everyone happy all the time."
• 
So let's set the record straight.
• 
President Trump has never waged jihad against Americans — nor has he assassinated a Civil Rights leader or napalmed a jungle in Vietnam.
• 
And to compare those horrific atrocities with the president's desire to make our nation great again is not just offensive — it's downright evil.

      The Anti-Women March on Washington  (01/26/2017)
• 
This was not a women's march with any kind of logic behind it.  It was an anti-women march, and women participated because they fell for a steaming-hot pile of platitudes.
• 
These useful idiots were duped by Islamist Linda Sarsour, who is determined to normalize her extremist culture.
• 
It was one of the stupidest marches in the history of modern politics, and it says a lot about where we are as a country.
• 
In short, we are a bunch of spoiled ingrates who are so desperate to complain, we will demand rights we already have.
• 
Even Sarsour, whose religion forbids abortion, forbade pro-lifers from coming to the event.  This is a classic example of taqiya.  It is in the best interests of jihad for her to temporarily betray her religion and pretend to be pro-choice.
• 
The signs got way crazier.  "My pussy grabs back" was a common theme.
• 
Aren't these women embarrassed by the fact that their entire political ethos is based on a throwaway conversation that took place on a bus eleven years ago?
• 
I even saw young girls draped in pussy signs.  What kind of parent adorns their daughter with a sign that says "This pussy bites back"?
• 
Other favorites included "When will you shithead men finally die?!!," "Fuck you orange Hitler," "Women are perfect," "I hate Trump as much as I hate my bra," and the presumptuous "He thinks I'm sexy and that I can be grabbed.  Not my president."
• 
There was also a strange anti-white undertone to the whole thing.  I saw a black woman with a sign that said "Don't forget, white women voted for Trump
• 
I also saw a white woman with that sign.  She was recognizing the damage her fellow white women had done to the country and she was making a public apology.
• 
This is how it works with Islam.  You start with white guilt, throw on a layer of diversity, and the next thing you know, a Muslim woman is a feminist icon and liberals have been hijacked by "Alt-ISIS."
• 
Women at the march adorned one another with hijabs.  They even put one on a man.
• 
... poster for the event, which featured a Muslim woman in an American-flag hijab (yeah, right).  The woman in the graphic is tarted up like a whore, which is yet another Islamic contradiction.
• 
What the hell has all this Muslim propaganda got to do with women's rights?
• 
Are they marching for the girl in Pakistan who was recently burned alive by her mother for shaming the family?
• 
Are they marching for this new trend of Muslim women in Nigeria using babies as bombs?
• 
Did they express concern about Muslim women being banned from looking up while crossing the road?
• 
How about the Yazidi girls sold as sex slaves while these women were marching?

      Marxist Vegan Restaurant Closes After Customers No Longer Willing to Wait 40 Minutes for a Sandwich  (12/08/2016)
• 
A "Marxist" "collectivist" "worker-run" restaurant in Grand Rapids, Michigan, closed its doors this week after customers complained that they could no longer tolerate the bizarre hours, high prices and long lines.
• 
... the restaurant's business model, which did not allow for bosses or managers, promised a "living wage" to all employees and a strong union, did not allow the restaurant to make enough profit to stay in business.
• 
... customers complained that it was almost impossible to get a meal at the diner.
• 
... waited more than 40 minutes for a sandwich — and that's when the diner was even open.
• 
Because the employees set the shop's hours by group decision, the restaurant opened and closed at random times, leaving potential sandwich buyers totally confused.
• 
It turns out, in a shocking revelation to the store's management, that those Soviet bread lines were a bug, not a feature of Communism.
• 
Customers also complained that the restaurants "equal pay, no tipping" scheme failed to reward exceptional service, pointing out on the message board that "you shouldn't try running your business on political good will alone."
• 
When the diner offered a free meal to Grand Rapids police officers as a "thank you" for keeping their neighborhood safe, local socialists complained that the business was abrogating its core ideals by siding with fascists and supporting "nearly all-white police force in this era of police violence."
• 
So, in a no-win situation, and discovering first hand the troubles that have plagued Communism for more than a century, the restaurant was forced to close its doors.
• 
As one community member put it, they discovered that "you can't make payroll and your bills with Facebook and Tumblr ‘likes.'"
• 
The owner, for his part, is admitting his mistake.  When asked what his next venture would be, he told MLive.com that he was "taking a vacation."

Apple accused Samsung of duplicating a handful of distinctive iPhone features for which Apple holds patents: the flat screen, the rounded rectangle shape of the phone, and the layout of icons on the screen.
• 
At issue was how much Samsung is required to compensate Apple under an 1887 law that requires patent infringers to pay "total profit."
• 
Apple said that meant all the profits from the phone sales, while Samsung argued it was limited to profits related to the specific components that were copied.
• 
Samsung had argued that the hefty award ignored the fact that its phones contain more than 200,000 other patents that Apple does not own.
• 
Apple said the verdict was fair because the iPhone's success was directly tied to its distinctive look.

      Early Trump supporter Palin suggests Carrier deal is 'crony capitalism'  (Fox 12/03/2016)

The former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice-presidential nominee says she's "ecstatic" for Carrier employees.
• 
However she also wonders whether Trump's successful bid to keep the manufacturer from moving 1,000 jobs from Indiana to Mexico is in fact a case of political influence on the free market.
• 
"When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent."

      Obama Whitewashes Castro's Tyranny in "Carefully-Worded" Statement  (11/26/2016)
• 
President Obama and the Mainstream Media are mourning the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro — whitewashing his crimes against the Cuban people while comparing him to George Washington.
• 
It is absolutely sickening to watch the White House and the Mainstream Media mourn the loss of their beloved Castro — a ruthless dictator who was the personification of evil.
• 
And here is President Obama's statement:
• 
"At this time of Fidel Castro's passing, we extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people.  We know that this moment fills Cubans - in Cuba and in the United States - with powerful emotions, recalling the countless ways in which Fidel Castro altered the course of individual lives, families, and of the Cuban nation.  History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around him. 
• 
For nearly six decades, the relationship between the United States and Cuba was marked by discord and profound political disagreements.  During my presidency, we have worked hard to put the past behind us, pursuing a future in which the relationship between our two countries is defined not by our differences but by the many things that we share as neighbors and friends - bonds of family, culture, commerce, and common humanity.  This engagement includes the contributions of Cuban Americans, who have done so much for our country and who care deeply about their loved ones in Cuba.
• 
Today, we offer condolences to Fidel Castro's family, and our thoughts and prayers are with the Cuban people.  In the days ahead, they will recall the past and also look to the future.  As they do, the Cuban people must know that they have a friend and partner in the United States of America."

Deputies had said that when they arrived at the couple's home, they found the then-muscular former high school football player and wrestler in his underwear, making animal noises and biting Stevens' face as he pinned his victim's body to the driveway.

      Some in the media dig in against 'normalizing' Donald Trump  (Fox 11/21/2016)
• 
What those who decry the normalization of Barack Obama's successor are really saying is Trump is not a legitimate president, and doesn't deserve to be treated as such.
• 
"When Donald Trump won the presidency, our vocabularies didn't bulge to accommodate the reality that this ignorant geyser of hate had ascended to the world's yugest leadership position.  We're left pressing the same worn-out words into service, paradoxically reminding each other: This is not normal."
• 
"The frame we're putting around the president-elect emphasizes how freakishly outside the mainstream his views and behavior lie.  That's useful, up to a point.  But in appealing to what's typical rather than what's right or true, we're missing an opportunity to make a stronger statement.  Trump himself aims to center white men as ‘normal' and push everyone else to the periphery."
• 
Ah, now we get to the real agenda: It's racial.  It's about putting white men back in charge and the hell with everyone else.
• 
"Overall there's a creeping sense that we're stuck with Trump and we should make it ‘work' in some type of do-goody liberal appeal to patriotism.
• 
"But this is wrong, both tactically and ethically.  Trump isn't normal and he should never be treated as such, regardless of what President Obama and Clinton and Sanders say."
• 
Wow.  Even saying give the guy a chance is considered a failure.  Who appointed Salon as the arbiter of normality?
• 
"Make no mistake: Trump's election is as disastrous as an Old Testament plague.  His election has sparked anger and anxiety, driving thousands nationwide into the streets in protest..."
• 
From the right, National Review's Jonah Goldberg says it's the mainstream media that normalized Trump during the primaries:
• 
"Trump was good for ratings ... The mainstream media and numerous liberal pundits loved Trump's impact on the GOP for the same reason bored teenagers like to throw lit matches into dumpsters: Garbage fires are fun to watch.  The third reason is closely related to the second: The media thought Trump was more likely lose to Hillary Clinton."

      City renames 2 holidays deemed culturally insensitive  (Fox 11/20/2016)
• 
The city of Bloomington, Indiana, has renamed Good Friday and Columbus Day because the names imply a cultural insensitivity.
• 
"We are terrifically proud of our diverse workforce at the city.  That diversity makes us stronger and more representative of the public we proudly serve.  These updated names for two days of well-merited time off is another way we can demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity."
• 
... "all city employees receive paid time off for Columbus Day, a federal holiday ... and Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday.  In the future, the city will be calling these paid days off 'Fall Holiday' and 'Spring Holiday.'"

Good Friday is not a federal holiday but is observed by many Christians as the day Jesus Christ was crucified by the Romans.
• 
Columbus Day is a federal holiday noting the arrival of the Italian explorer in the Americas, on Oct.  12, 1492.

Columbus Day has come under fire from liberals who claim the discovery of the Americas by Europeans led to centuries of oppression of Native Americans.
• 
"To emphasize the heroism of Columbus and his successors as navigators and discoverers, and to de-emphasize their genocide, is not a technical necessity but an ideological choice.  It serves — unwittingly — to justify what was done."

FBI documents released Monday include an allegation that Hillary Clinton took lamps and furniture from her State Department office for her home in Washington, D.C., echoing a similar controversy that dogged the Clintons in 2001 — but the State Department says the furniture always belonged to Clinton.
• 
"Early in Clinton's tenure as secretary of state, she and her staff were observed removing lamps and furniture from the State Department which were transported to her residence in Washington, D.C.."
• 
"[The agent] does not know whether these items were ever returned to the government upon Clinton's departure from the State Department."
• 
"As I understand, those were her personal belongings she brought from home to decorate her offices and then took them back again."
• 
The claim, however disputed, has echoes of a similar controversy that dogged the Clintons when they left the White House in 2001 and took $190,000 worth of gifts with them.
• 
Some who gave the gifts said they were intended for the White House, including $28,000 of gifts given to the National Park Service for the White House's personal collection.
• 
The flap eventually led to the Clintons returning $28,000 in gifts and paying for $86,000 of gifts themselves.

... topic 47 is devoted to "Should we call this Islamic terrorism?" Nowhere in the suggested seven-point answer does "Islamic terrorism" make an appearance.  Instead, it's suggested that Clinton call the enemy "radical jihadists."
• 
"Now, of course there are those who twist Islam to justify mass murder," point three begins.  "But we can't buy into the same narrative that these barbaric, radical jihadists use to recruit new followers.  Declaring war on Islam or demonizing the Muslim-American community is not only counter to our values – it plays right into the terrorists' hands."
• 
Point seven states: "Radical jihadists underestimate us.  We won't turn on each other or turn on our principles.  We will keep our country safe and strong, free and tolerant.  And we will defeat those who threaten us."
      Trash talk and the White House  (JWR 10/14/2016)
• 
The first lady, who for eight years has transformed the White House into the last surviving vaudeville venue (who needs Mozart when you might get Kanye West), revealed herself to be almost terminally offended by Donald Trump.
• 
"I can't believe that I'm saying that, a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women."
• 
"...  This was a powerful individual speaking freely and openly about predatory behavior, and actually bragging about kissing and groping women, using language so obscene that many of us were worried about our children hearing it when we turn on the TV."
• 
Michelle Obama is right to be concerned, though she shouldn't worry about what her daughters, lovely girls that they are, have heard at the most expensive private school in the nation's capital.
• 
The children of America, if they watch television, indulge the Internet, or listen to rap music they'll hear things that would make the Donald's ears burn.
• 
To protect her children she must keep them upstairs in the family quarters, and away from some of the Hollywood stuff she and the mister frequently have in to entertain their guests.
• 
Some of the rappers who perform in the house once occupied by Lincoln and Adams, Jefferson, Jackson and FDR, spin rhymes about their bitches and their ho's, the thrill of killing cops and bringing down all manner of bad things on America.
• 
Trashy behavior is not only invited into the White House, but the first lady's husband has bestowed honors on some of those who have tracked trash into the house.
• 
Neither should the first lady allow the girls to watch the video of Dad on his campaign plane, where he once displayed an erection through his pants to tempt and tease the lady reporters in the front seats.
• 
The locker rooms of the NBA are where only the thoughtful and erudite wisdom of champions can be heard, and there's never a harsh or naughty word to disturb those reading quietly from their Gideon Bibles.
• 
"We don't disrespect women in no shape or form in our locker room.  That never comes up..."
• 
That will be reassuring to the baby mamas of the men in the NBA locker rooms, some of whom have not one, or two, or three or even four different baby mamas, but more, and eight or nine kids.
• 
Michelle, of course, is not responsible for what her husband does when she's not there to keep him in line when young ladies are present, any more than Hillary is in charge of Bubba's zipper.
• 
But Hillary is responsible for the character assassinations she instigated and supervised of the women Bubba abused
• 
Michelle is responsible for the speeches she makes, exonerating the high crimes and misdemeanors of those who throw sticks and stones at Donald Trump, who has done no more than certain high Democrats of her acquaintance.
• 
It's wrong when the Donald does it, and wrong when Democrats do it.

      New Smithsonian museum ignores Justice Thomas legacy, despite focus on Anita Hill  (Fox 10/11/2016)
• 
... while Thomas has broken barriers his entire professional life without seeking the limelight, the 68-year-old justice is being conspicuously ignored by a powerful new showplace for black heritage.
• 
"Justice Thomas is the longest-serving black justice in our history, he's amassed over 500 opinions."
• 
"And yet you would learn nothing of that in this museum, and that's a shame."
• 
The museum panel has a picture of Hill speaking, with the caption, "Her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee provoked serious debates on sexual harassment, race loyalty, and gender roles."
• 
The exhibit also includes a pink button from the era: "I believe Anita Hill."
• 
But it contains no pictures, quotes or memorabilia from the justice himself.
• 
"Clarence Thomas has his own views — that's his sin.  He believes in individual rights, not group rights.  That's led him to oppose racial preferences, and for that he's banished" at the museum.
      Heather MacDonald: The left freaks out over Trump's tape but loves culturally lewd behavior  (Fox 10/09/2016)
• 
The response has been swift and apocalyptic.  Hillary Clinton tweeted: "This is horrific.  We cannot allow this man to become president."
• 
Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine told reporters: "It makes me sick to my stomach."
• 
Slate's science editor wrote that "I feel sicker after seeing it than I can remember feeling in a while."
• 
Another Slate columnist writes that Trump and Bush "can't see their female colleagues as anything but collections of f**kable or unf**kable body parts.  They exhibit a complete disregard for women's humanity, agency, and internal lives."
• 
Surely the ravenous purchase by females of stiletto heels, push-up bras, butt-hugging mini-skirts, plunging necklines, false eyelashes, hair extensions, breast implants, butt implants, lip implants, and mascara, rouge, and lipstick to the tune of billions a year has nothing to do with it.
• 
Females would never ever exploit their sexuality to seek attention from men.
• 
How surprising that Trump and Bush noticed Zucker's legs!  As documented in the video, she is wearing a skimpy purple dress, with an extremely short hem cut on the bias, a low neckline and fully exposed back.  She is in high heels to accentuate her bare legs.
• 
But all that bare flesh must simply be because Zucker has a high metabolism and gets exceedingly warm; she would never want to broadcast her sexuality to men or have men notice her.
• 
The fact that she swishes her hips when she walks must just be a quirk of anatomy.
• 
Beyonce and her female chorus line rhythmically thrust their butts, crotches, and breasts to the camera, while Beyonce brags of her sexual prowess.
• 
The "Formation" video, which inspired Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime performance in January (to another universal swoon from the entertainment industry), also shows a very young girl engaging in some precocious twerking, a grotesque travesty of childhood.
• 
No objections to that destruction of the innocence of childhood from the DNC.
• 
President Obama has singled out Beyonce for praise, and the singer is a big Hillary Clinton supporter, to not a word of protest from Clinton regarding her status as a role model for young girls.
• 
Bill Clinton met with Beyonce and her husband, rapper Jay Z, in September.  If Bill or Hillary thinks the lyrics of Jay Z's "Big Pimpin‘" "horrific," in Hillary's words, they are not letting on.
• 
The Washington Post primly headlined its scoop on Trump's bus conversation with Bush: "Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005."
• 
The New York Times' follow-up story also labelled Trump's remarks "lewd."
• 
If either of those paper's critics have ever objected to such lewdness in popular culture, it has escaped attention.
• 
Have they objected to college campus sex weeks, which routinely invite porn stars to offer how-to demonstrations on S & M sex?
• 
Do they squirm with discomfort when campus administrators pass out tips on the use of sex toys to achieve better orgasms?  Not on the record, at least.
• 
Other Hillary Clinton supporters have hardly been shy about exploiting sex to get ahead. 
• 
"I have used sex as a marketing tool and it has worked.  I mean, my TV show is called ‘Inside Amy Schumer.'"
• 
This blushing Victorian violet explains: "My whole life I found friends that are just like me, young girls that were just like me, like we were all whores."
• 
"My best friend would describe me as loyal ... to the boyfriend I stole from her."
• 
Democratic National Convention star, Hillary fan and "Girls" creator Lena Dunham has not exactly set herself up as a model of sexual prudence, either, nor has she shrunk from using her promiscuity as a selling point in the entertainment market.
• 
The sudden onset of Victorian vapors among the liberal intelligentsia and political class at the revelation of Trump's locker-room talk is part and parcel of the left's hypocrisy when it comes to feminism and sexual liberation.
• 
But the feminists can't have it both ways: declaring that women should be equal to men in all things and then still demand a chivalric deference to female's delicate sensibilities.
• 
It is particularly galling to see the selective resurrection of Victorian values from the same crowd that has been pushing transgender locker rooms on the world, in an effort to destroy the last shred of girls' innate sexual modesty.
• 
Needless to say, actual sexual assault is both criminal and intolerable.
• 
... college co-eds insist on the prerogative of maximal promiscuity at the same time that they revert to the role of helpless damsel in distress, when, after drinking themselves blotto to lower their sexual inhibitions, they regret a boozy hook-up and declare themselves raped.
• 
... Democrats are the most shameless in their outrage over the Trump braggadocio, having dismissed Bill Clinton's White House and gubernatorial escapades for years, and standing as the party of maximal sexual liberation, unlike the Republicans.
• 
Feminism ... has declared both modesty and chivalry sexist, leaving females to improvise a response to the inevitable excesses of the male sex drive, when they are not trying to leverage it to their own advantage.

      Our men and women in blue now stand in a deadly political hailstorm  (Fox 10/09/2016)
• 
The Huffington Post recently published a story from their Black Voices Senior Editor?saying the following: "Black Lives Matter (BLM) wasn't built to incite any form of violence against police.  In fact, it's one of the dangerous misconceptions about the movement the group has sought to debunk."
• 
Perhaps this Huffington Post editor missed the videos of BLM protestors in St.  Paul, Minnesota, shouting, "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon." Or others marching in New York City chanting, "What do we want?  Dead cops.  When do we want them?  Now!"
• 
How do these reprehensible mantras?work toward a nonviolent goal?? 
• 
Political opportunist and inveterate race baiter Reverend Al Sharpton is a staunch supporter of the BLM movement with a long history of fabricating charges against police. 
• 
Public bashing of our police has become so politically convenient, we now have to listen to vapid Hollywood elites and pampered millionaire athletes offer their shallow commentary.
• 
Our president does the nation no service when he announces how he can empathize with Kaepernick's plight. 
• 
As violent crime rates rise in city after city after more than twenty years of decline, the men and women in blue now stand in a political hailstorm.
• 
In many of the same cities where protesters lined up to defame, curse or threaten police while exercising the very First Amendment rights their victims are sent to protect, law abiding citizens are begging for police patrols to return in force where the thugs now rule. 
• 
Police walk the streets today fearful their next citizen encounter will become a much maligned viral video or fodder for a public witch hunt against them or their families.  Others will become sudden and unwarranted targets of violence simply because of the uniform they wear.

      'His Majesty': Student single-handedly defeats an army of gender neutral activists  (Fox 09/30/2016)
• 
When future generations read about the "Great Gender Pronoun Wars" of the early twenty-first century, they will most certainly learn of Grant Strobl – a noble and mighty king.
• 
"His Majesty" is an unlikely title for a 21-year-old political science major from Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
• 
In less than 24-hours, the brave conservative single-handedly defeated an army of gender neutral activists at the University of Michigan.
• 
Think David versus a gender confused Goliath.
• 
The University of Michigan recently announced a new initiative to allow students to select their preferred gender pronouns through an online service.
• 
It was designed as a way to help professors tell the difference between the guys and the gals and the zi's and the zir's.
• 
"Asking about and correctly using someone's designated pronoun is one of the most basic ways to show your respect for their identity and to cultivate an environment that respects all gender identities."
• 
The university actually created a "pronoun committee" to ensure that faculty members "play a vital role in ensuring all of our community feels valued, respected and included."
• 
It was in that spirit of inclusivity that Grant, a Fox News Campus Associate, decided to have a bit of fun.
• 
"You could put anything you wanted into the system.  So I did."
• 
"'His Majesty' is not a pronoun, but neither is zir or zi," His Majesty told me.
• 
"None of them are recognized in the English language.  Everything is completely arbitrary now.  You can identify as anything you want."
• 
"I thought it was definitely fitting to point out how absurd this new policy is by choosing ‘His Majesty,'" His Majesty said.
• 
"It's a recognized honorific and it is definitely absurd for anybody to be called ‘His Majesty' in America."
• 
"As a Christian, I believe that all lives are valuable."
• 
But the university's young ruler is concerned that professors might be punished if they refuse to identify a student by their preferred gender pronoun.
• 
"Once we go down that road, it's very dangerous for our society and our democracy."
• 
"If they want me to be tolerant of their pronouns, they have to be tolerant to my new title," His Majesty said.
• 
"Many of the students on campus who call for diversity – they only want diversity for ideas they agree with."
• 
I hope His Majesty King Grant has a long and prosperous reign at the University of Michigan.
• 
Let's pray he can fight off the invading horde of leftwing intolerants.

Preferred pronouns will appear on class rosters, and if professors accidentally use the wrong pronoun, "you can acknowledge that you made a mistake and use the correct pronoun next time."
• 
It also called using preferred pronouns "one of the most basic ways to show your respect for their identity and to cultivate an environment that respects all gender identities."

Instead of parsing participles, a public high school English teacher has been using her classroom to wage an ugly propaganda campaign against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his supporters.

• 
"Am I missing anything?  Oh, American – white, Christian, male Americans."

The Trump-bashing came during a lesson on ethos and pathos.

"He is in fact the master of pathos," the teacher told students.  "So who knows what his actual motives are but he is a master at manipulating his audience, right?  He knows where the fears lie and he is going right after them."

      Watchdog: Feds wrongly granted citizenship to hundreds facing deportation  (Fox 09/19/2016)
• 
More than 800 illegal immigrants from countries of concern who were set for deportation were mistakenly granted U.S.  citizenship because the Department of Homeland Security didn't have their fingerprints on file.
• 
In the case of 858 immigrants from "special interest countries or neighboring countries with high rates of immigration fraud," the discrepancies weren't caught because their fingerprints were missing from government databases. 
• 
A few even managed to get aviation or transportation worker credentials, though they were later revoked.  One became a law enforcement officer. 
• 
The report warned that when immigrants become naturalized, "these individuals retain many of the rights and privileges of U.S.  citizenship, including serving in law enforcement, obtaining a security clearance, and sponsoring other aliens' entry into the United States."
• 
According to the audit, as of November 2015, the administration has found 953 more "who had final deportation orders under another identity and had been naturalized," some of whom were from countries of concern.
• 
"This situation created opportunities for individuals to gain the rights and privileges of U.S.  citizenship through fraud."
• 
Mistakenly awarding citizenship to someone ordered deported can have serious consequences because U.S.  citizens can typically apply for and receive security clearances or take security-sensitive jobs.

• 
Princeton, that once great school whose purpose at its founding in 1746 was to train ministers and whose motto remains Dei Sub Numine Viget (Under God's Power She Flourishes), has, like other schools of "higher" learning, jumped into the deep end of the pool of political correctness.

      College Campus Lunacy  (JWR 08/24/2016)
• 
As the fall semester begins, parents, students, taxpayers and donors should be made aware of official college practices that should disgust us all.
• 
Hampshire College will offer some of its students what the school euphemistically calls "identity-based housing."
• 
That's segregated housing for students who — because of their race, culture, gender or sexual orientation — have "historically experienced oppression."
• 
The college defended racially segregated classes by saying that they make students "feel comfortable."
• 
For professors to use their classes to proselytize students — and for a college president to urge it — is gross academic dishonesty.
• 
Adding to campus lunacy are classes such as "Lady Gaga and the Sociology of the Fame" at the University of South Carolina.
• 
Cornell University's physical education department offers a class titled "Recreational Tree Climbing."
• 
Skidmore College's sociology department offers "The Sociology of Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender and Media."
• 
Frostburg State University's physics department offers "The Science of Harry Potter," where it examines some of the tale's magic.
• 
Georgetown University offers "Philosophy and Star Trek," arguing that "Star Trek is very philosophical" and adding, "What better way, then, to learn philosophy, than to watch Star Trek, read philosophy, and hash it all out in class?"
• 
... such academic nonsense may indeed reflect that presidents, academic administrators, faculty members and students actually believe that such classes have academic merit.

Who organized the protest?  Was this a "Rent-A-Mob"?  If so, who paid the bills?

• 
If the progressive academic radicals at Princeton University have their way, the New Jersey school will soon be "man-free."
• 
The private university wants to eradicate the word "man" from its vocabulary.  It's all part of an effort to get folks to start using "gender inclusive language."
• 
Staffers at the Ivy League school have been advised to no longer say "man." Instead, they should use words like "individual," "person," or "people."
• 
Remember George Washington and Benjamin Franklin?  Don't call them our forefathers.  Princeton says we should refer to them as our ancestors.

"Believe me, if my purpose was not significant, I would not risk my life pursuing it.  The reason I climbed your tower is to get your attention.  If I had sought this via conventional means, I would be much less likely to have success because you are a busy man with many responsibilities."

The man played a slow-motion cat-and-mouse game with his would-be rescuers as he climbed Trump Tower.
• 
Officers smashed windows and broke through ventilation ducts to block his progress.
• 
Police also lowered themselves toward the man using a window washer's platform.
• 
The climber kept his distance by methodically working his way back and forth across the facade, repeatedly repositioning suction cups resembling a type commonly used by window washers to remove big panes of glass.
• 
As a crowd gasped on the street below, two officers leaned far out of a window, grabbed the climber's arm and harness, and in a flash yanked him from his dangling stirrups.
• 
He went through the opening head first, his legs pointed skyward.
•

      NJ town rocked by charges of bigotry after rejection of mosque  (Fox 08/08/2016)
• 
A New Jersey suburb known for its tree-lined streets and stately, multimillion-dollar homes has been transformed into a battleground over both a proposed mosque and the free speech rights of residents who oppose the project.
• 
The Planning Board and many residents say they were concerned about traffic and other zoning issues, but the lawsuit accuses town officials of violating the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), which gives religious institutions flexibility when it comes to zoning law restrictions on property use.
• 
The U.S.  Department of Justice is separatley investigating the case.
• 
"I came to America almost 50 years ago with a firm belief in the values that America represents, including freedom of religion before the law.  The mosque is part of my American Dream."
• 
Lawyers for the Muslim organization want to interview residents who spoke out against the mosque, and to review their email messages, social media posts and any other evidence they say may prove they were motivated by bias.
• 
"This community opposition evolved into a well-funded machine that recruited objectors and coached them to channel their opposition through the permissible language of land use: parking, buffer and screening requirements, storm water management, and so on," they say in their civil complaint.
• 
It also accused the citizens' group of holding a meeting where those preparing to speak out were told, "Please remember, do not make any comments on the religion or Islamic mosque itself.  If we do so, we will lose the battle."
• 
Based on those allegations, the ISBR's lawyers subpoenaed the residents as well as eight current and former Planning Board members.
• 
One resident who was subpoenaed told FoxNews.com attorneys for ISBR seemed to be seeking evidence of a conspiracy.  The resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the meeting was unnerving.
• 
"I spoke out once, at one meeting.  I was tangentially involved.  I clearly felt like it was a fishing expedition, that they were looking to find anything to support their case.
• 
"For me, this has a chilling effect.  It was scary.  They came to my home in the middle of the night to serve me the papers.  I feel like I will never speak up in a public forum again."
•

"So, almost any illegal alien can escape arrest by either walking with a second person (a march), attending some type of class, or finding a nearby church, medical facility or school bus stop."

A "Frequently Asked Questions" section explains in detail what the Customs and Border Patrol's parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, considers safe zones for illegal immigrants.
• 
"This administration has systematically and maliciously attacked and deconstructed all phases of border enforcement."
• 
"Agents are in a state of despair.  They are being turned into nursemaids, chaperones and bus drivers."
• 
"It's schizophrenic.  What the Obama administration has done is to create sanctuaries for illegal aliens and to publicize them.  That is fine for a social welfare agency, but not for a law enforcement agency.  No law enforcement agency would ever want to broadcast where lawbreakers can go to be shielded from the consequences of their actions."

The CBP website also provides a toll-free number and email address to allow illegal immigrants to report possible violations of the "sensitive locations" policy.

      Dems to pass gas during DNC "Fart-In"  (Fox 07/28/2016)
• 
Hundreds of Bernie Sanders supporters are expected to stage a Fart-In Thursday at the Democratic National Convention meeting in Philadelphia.
• 
An assortment of Socialists, beatniks, and leftwing rabble-rousers plan to consume massive quantities of pork and beans in preparation for the pungent protest.
• 
We have yet to ascertain why the liberals are passing gas — but the mass flatulence is expected to happen just moments before Hillary Clinton's acceptance speech.
• 
They plan to feast on a variety of selections – including navy, pinto, baked and lima (which emits a rather noxious fume).
• 
"It shows the level of absolute disgust that we're at – we think we're going to remember 2016 as the year we begin to bury the two corporate political parties."
• 
The plan is for activists to scarf down as many beans as possible and then wait for nature to run its course.  As the songwriter once wrote, "Beans, beans, the magical fruit..."
• 
At the appointed hour, the protesters will corporately pass gas – both inside and outside the Wells Fargo Arena.  And that has drawn a word of warning from meteorologists.
• 
Thunderstorms are in the forecast and some weather guessers fear the static discharge from a lightning strike could cause the protestors to spontaneously combust.
• 
Also, scientists have grave concerns that the sheer number of gassy liberals could blow a hole in the ozone...
• 
To those of you down wind of the blast zone — God speed.

In the opening minutes of the first show, the host tells a teddy bear, as well as innocent viewers, that "gay means love."
• 
"It is easily conceivable that videos such as these will be sanctioned eventually by local school boards and implemented in preschool and prekindergarten classes."

"Activists are trying to force these topics on younger and younger children because that is the only way their movement wins."

An illegal immigrant who stabbed a Connecticut woman to death after doing time for attempted murder might not have been in the U.S.  soil if the federal agency responsible for deporting him had done a better job.
• 
In Jacques' case, Haiti denied his entry three times when ICE tried to deport him, claiming there was no proof he was a Haitian citizen.  Haiti refused to allow U.S.  officials to obtain his birth certificate, and a 2001 U.S.  Supreme Court decision limits how long immigration officials can detain people without deporting them.  Jacques, who was held for a total of 205 days, was released.

Jacques originally sneaked into the U.S.  in 1992.  Four years later, he was involved in a shooting that left one dead and another injured.  Convicted in 1997 of attempted murder and possession of a firearm without a permit, he was sentenced to 20 years, but was released after 15.  He was locked up again after violating parole while ICE was attempting to have him deported.

So Arbin fired off an email to set things straight by referencing a recent dustup over President Obama's decree that men who identify as women should be able to use the porta-potty of their choosing.
• 
"WE are NOT Target," he wrote to the lifeguards.  "USE the locker room that corresponds to your DNA... If You're NOT SURE go to Target."

Target is the national retailer that set off a firestorm when it announced customers could pretty much use whatever bathroom suited them.

Someone leaked the captain's email to the news media and – well, let's just say the veteran lifeguard landed in some mighty hot water.
• 
"It's nothing short of making fun of transgender people, and it's absolutely unacceptable for a city employee or a public employee to make fun of transgender people at all."

Arbin said the email had nothing to do with transgender people.

A violent crowd of mostly Spanish-speaking thugs, waving Mexican flags brutally attacked Americans in San Jose Thursday night.

• 
... "another young man was chased down like prey.  He ran until finding some police officers who stopped his attackers."
• 
The vicious mob even turned their wrath on police – attacking them with whatever they could find.

• 
If they love Mexico so much — perhaps they should pack their belongings and head to the border.

San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo responded to the violence by criticizing Mr.  Trump.
• 
"At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign."
• 
"San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo criticized Trump for coming to cities and igniting problems that local police departments have to deal with."
• 
And on the subject of responsibility – how about condemning the flagrant violence against not only Trump supporters – but also the police?
• 
For months now anti-Trump thugs have bullied and harassed those who plan on voting for the Republican nominee.  This is a classic example of how the left tries to silence the opposition — through intimidation — and violence.

These are not protesters — these are criminals.  These are enemies of free speech.  Thugs.

      Campus radicals: 5 conservative college students who stand up to PC culture  (Fox 05/20/2016)
• 
If "counterculture" means fighting the status quo, then nobody on today's college campuses is more radical than the outspoken conservative student.
• 
They face ridicule, censorship and bullying from scornful classmates and faculty, all because their worldview is different from the prevailing politically correct orthodoxy.
• 
High-profile comedians including Jerry Seinfeld have given up performing on college campuses, conservative speakers have been disinvited from addressing students and strident demonstrators have increasingly demanded that those who disagree with them be silenced.
• 
But not all of their classmates agree, and some refuse to keep their opinions to themselves.
• 
"I spent three hours being berated and taunted... I was called a "race traitor," "Uncle Tom" and "coconut" by black students."
• 
"One student shouted directly at me, ‘God is black.  You will have to face him one day and repent for supporting Ben Shapiro.'"
• 
... opposed demands for "safe spaces" on the grounds that they coddle students and "protect" them from viewpoints that they should hear.
• 
As a result, leftist activists on campus labelled Oh, who is Asian, a "Shady Person of Color"...
• 
"There's definitely disdain and intolerance toward conservative ideology among members of the far left academic community – both students and faculty alike."
• 
"It's getting out of hand to say the least.  When I entered college I knew that it would be liberal.  I didn't know the extent.  I would have never imagined that I would have been impeached from student senate for my views."

On Saturday, Sanders backers shouted down the keynote speaker, Sen.  Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and others they thought were tilting the rules in Clinton's favor.  Protesters shouted obscenities and rushed the dais to protest rulings.
• 
"We write to alert you to what we perceive as the Sanders campaign's penchant for extra-parliamentary behavior — indeed, actual violence — in place of democratic conduct in a convention setting, and furthermore what we can only describe as their encouragement of, and complicity in, a very dangerous atmosphere that ended in chaos and physical threats to fellow Democrats."

Taking a page from the Obama playbook that advocates blatantly overriding the will of the people through decrees, policies, and regulations...
• 
"These new regulations were imposed by the superintendent without any prior notification or input from the parents, and without an actual vote from the school board."
• 
"This demonstrates exactly what we've known for years: Radical activists can only win when they operate in secret.  If the superintendent actually held an open forum, this policy would not have been passed."
• 
"Any student who believes that he or she has experienced prohibited conduct or believes that another student has experienced prohibited conduct should immediately report the alleged acts to a teacher, counselor, principal, other district employee..."

("Believes" is a crucial word here.  Is an unintended sideways glance "prohibited conduct"?  What about a yawn, or an eye-roll?  This is a black hole of interpretation that can lead to chaos.)
• 
Also, students "should have the right to participate in athletics in a manner that is consistent and uniform with their gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on a student's records..."
• 
"Prior to notifying any parent or guardian regarding the student's gender identity or any potential transition process, school personnel must work closely with the student to assess the degree to which, if any, the parent or guardian has been or will be involved in the process."
• 
Even religious powers are ceding authority — God's authority — to children, and the influential LGBT powers that act as their puppeteers.
• 
"To drum up unwarranted and unfounded fears around the issue of gender identity and seek to scapegoat the transgender community is certainly not doing the work of God."
• 
It is time for all Americans to stop and analyze why we are allowing this nonsense.
• 
It is dangerous for the country — and dangerous for all kids who need guidance, not kowtowing.

We need to figure out why we are allowing the LGBT machine to change the essential character of America one school, one confused child at a time.

President Barack Obama on Sunday urged college graduates to shun those who want to confront a rapidly changing world by building walls around the United States or by embracing ignorance, as he delivered a sharp and barely concealed critique of Donald Trump.

... talk, entitled "Dispelling Myths: Fat, Fatphobia, and Challenging Social Stereotypes," was designed to help students understand that "fat phobia" is rampant in a "white, heteronormative society" that is looking to actively oppress people with larger body types.
• 
Society's bias against fat people is, apparently, a form of bigotry and discrimination, evident in everything from sexual preferences to the size of seats on public transportation.
• 
... compared society's anti-fat culture to so-called "rape culture," and chastised society for its obsession with what she termed "thin privilege."

... these social engineers on the Board now find it safe to release another Manson follower, one Leslie Van Houten, whose brutal participation in the murders of Leno and Rosemary La Bianca were so gruesome that it seems unimaginable that any parole board could reach the conclusion that such an individual could ever be safe to release back into society.
• 
After all, one would think that the parole board would consist of intelligent, professional, and compassionate folks that could recognize that such releases would be tantamount to conducting experiments at the expense of the public.
• 
It is outrageous that family members of murder victims across this nation should have to remind the parole boards of the details of these brutal murders to assure that the killers remain in prison and the public safeguarded from them.

• 
I am disgusted by today's Hollywood.  ... I mean the attention-seeking stunt artists who pick a movie subject purely based on shock value. 
• 
The plot line reportedly revolves around an intern tasked with attempting to convince Reagan that he is playing the president in a movie.
• 
... there is nothing funny about watching as a loved one slowly becomes a shell of the person they once were.
• 
To think, that with all of the problems this country is facing, a writer would find humor in the topic of Alzheimer's, or even insinuates that battling dementia is funny, is an outrage, and not the least bit creative.
• 
Alzheimer's is a very serious disease that affects more than 5 million people in this country alone.
• 
It doesn't only affect the person with the disease either, as it creates terrible pain among their families and friends.
• 
There is no cure for this disease, which robs you of the simplest freedoms, like knowing your own name.
• 
Imagine one day your memory begins to fail you and you're lucid enough to know what's happening, but in the next moment you've forgotten what it was you noticed.  Next, you forget the faces of the people that you love, and you forget what you did just moments ago.
• 
The degenerative process of Alzheimer's, with the destruction of nerve cells by amyloid plaques, leaves the patient isolated.  What about that, seems funny to you?
• 
To make a so-called comedy or parody about Alzheimer's while refusing to acknowledge what a toll this disease takes on patients and their families is the lowest form of existence.
• 
It's time for Hollywood to do a deep cleanse, and rid of all the waste and attention-seekers.
• 
From the mindless reality television that plays continuously on our networks, to the garbage-quality scripts that reach the director's table, we are allowing these so-called Hollywood stars to flood our society with uncreative waste.

      Court overturns Virginia school's transgender bathroom rule  (Fox 04/19/2016)
• 
"We agree that it has indeed been commonplace and widely accepted to separate public restrooms, locker rooms, and shower facilities on the basis of sex."
• 
"It is not apparent to us, however, that the truth of these propositions undermines the conclusion we reach regarding the level of deference due to the department's interpretation of its own regulations."
• 
... the majority's opinion "completely tramples on all universally accepted protections of privacy and safety that are based on the anatomical differences between the sexes."
• 
The majority opinion was written by Judge Henry F.  Floyd and joined by Judge Andre M.  Davis, both appointees of Democratic President Barack Obama.
• 
Grimm was born female but identifies as male.  He was allowed to use the boys' restrooms at the school for several weeks in 2014.
• 
But after some parents complained, the school board adopted a policy requiring students to use either the restroom that corresponds with their biological gender or a private, single-stall restroom.
• 
Grimm called the policy stigmatizing.  School officials said the policy respects the privacy of all students.
• 
"I feel so relieved and vindicated by the court's ruling," Grimm said in a statement released by the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents him.

• 
... he may have picked the wrong group to win hearts and minds, showing off as he did in front of men who've been studying Torah since the age of three and since the age of Moses...
• 
The men listened courteously as Kasich peppered his one-of-a-kind expertise with such remarks as, "Do you guys like Joseph?"
• 
Well of course they did.
• 
"Do you guys know the story of Joseph?"
• 
The men were too respectful to laugh in his face at such a question.
• 
"Do you guys know Joshua?" asked the governor of Ohio and the man who thinks he still has a chance to become President of the United States.

Maybe so on becoming President – and maybe these men of the Hebrew Bible know Joshua.  There is always that chance.

      It's all your money: US aiding business start-ups — for illegal aliens  (Fox 04/15/2016)
• 
Read the fine print on the Small Business Administration's website, and you'll find that the agency does not provide the funds to "start or grow" a small business – the engine of the American economy, providing roughly three-quarters of all new jobs.
• 
Rather, the SBA provides offers loan guarantees to the banks and lenders that do provide seed money.
• 
So it might come as a surprise to American entrepreneurs that there is at least one group to whom the federal government is providing direct assistance for business start-ups: illegal aliens.
• 
In fact, these recipients of your taxpayer funds fall into an even more restricted category: illegal aliens who have been deported back to their native land.
• 
This is accomplished by "offering financial education, technical advice and assistance with business plans," all of which serves, in turn, to "assure that broader support and resources are available to the migrants, that their abilities are appreciated, their concerns understood and their needs met."
• 
... limited funding has made it exceedingly rare for Border Patrol officers ever to have a partner while they are working along the southern border, often at night – a state of affairs that leaves the officers more vulnerable to assaults by heavily armed alien- and drug-smugglers.

Since 1775, the U.S.  Marine Corps has prided itself on being "The Few" and "The Proud."
• 
But while the Corps takes pride in doing more with less, senior Marine officers are warning that the Corps' aviation service is being stretched to the breaking point.
• 
U.S.  military spending has dropped from $691 billion in 2010 to $560 billion in 2015.
• 
The cuts came just as the planes were returning from 15 years of war, suffering from overuse and extreme wear and tear.
• 
Many highly trained mechanics in the aviation depots left for jobs in the private sector.
• 
"The biggest thing is right now after 15 years of hard service, of hard fighting and deploying around the world, is we don't have enough airplanes on the flight line."

      The new intolerance: Attorneys general try to shut down free speech  (Fox 04/12/2016)
• 
Last week more than a dozen attorneys general gathered in New York.  You might think they were there to discuss how to combat crime, the heroine epidemic... maybe even terrorism.
• 
They weren't.  Instead they were conferring on how to use the law to punish scientists and researchers who question climate change orthodoxy.
• 
That's right — if your scientific research bucks the party line on global warming, you could face government-inspired lawsuits.
• 
No matter what the cause, progressives are increasingly willing to use any means necessary — the law, public shaming and in some cases even a threat of violence ("no justice no peace") to get their way.
• 
It's not even correct to call progressivism liberal anymore.  It has, in fact, become its opposite, an illiberal code of coercion and intolerance — and a movement intent on shaming all those who disagree.
• 
It is fast becoming a political force hostile to freedom, democracy and even equality.
• 
It champions intolerance in the name of tolerance, closed-mindedness in the name of open-mindedness, and hatred in the name of compassion.
• 
It's the master of double-think — to pretend things other than they really are.

I'm the guy who calls the families, or meets with them, or hugs them, or tries to comfort a mom, or a dad, or a husband, or a kid, after a terrorist attack.  So let's be very clear about how much I prioritize this: This is my No.  1 job."
• 
"In the wake of terrorist attacks, it has been my view consistently that the job of the terrorists, in their minds, is to induce panic, induce fear, get societies to change who they are.  And what I've tried to communicate is, "You can't change us.  You can kill some of us, but we will hunt you down, and we will get you."
• 
"And in the meantime, just as we did in Boston, after the marathon bombing, we're going to go to a ballgame.  And do all the other things that make our life worthwhile...  That's the message of resilience.  That we don't panic, that we don't fear, we will hunt you down and we will get you."

• 
The new law "will make it far more challenging for businesses across the state to recruit and retain the nation's best and brightest workers and attract the most talented students from across the nation.  It will also diminish the state's draw as a destination for tourism, new businesses, and economic activity."

"How much privilege do you have?" That was the name of the survey administered to seventh and eighth grade students.
• 
It wasn't quite as bad as the white-shaming exercises we've seen on university campuses and in the Armed Forces.
• 
But it was certainly inappropriate for a bunch of 12, 13 and 14-year-olds.
• 
The youngsters were asked about religion and skin color and sexual orientation.
• 
The teacher wanted to know if the children identified as straight, homosexual, bisexual, asexual or pansexual.
• 
They were also queried on their gender.  They had to choose between transgender, cisgender or gender queer.
• 
Sweet Lord Almighty!  Don't even get me started, folks.
• 
Let's just say the Spanish teacher's lesson got lost in translation.

It's a bell that can't be un-rung, as they say.
• 
And it's still unclear why the Spanish teacher wanted to know how much privilege her students had.

Georgia's Republican governor stunned the state's religious community Monday by vetoing legislation that would have protected preachers who refuse to perform LGBT marriages.
• 
"It's a slap in the face to conservatives, to evangelicals and to the broader faith community."
• 
Gov.  Nathan Deal vetoed the bill under tremendous pressure from major corporations who threatened to take their business out of the state should he side with Georgia's religious community.
• 
"Our actions on HB 757 are not just about protecting the faith-based community or providing a business-friendly climate for job growth in Georgia.  This is about the character of our state and the character of its people."
• 
Simply put – the bill would have protected pastors from having to perform same-sex marriages.  Faith-based organizations, like Christian schools, would also have been extended protection from renting its facilities to any organization that was contrary to its beliefs.
• 
"Discrimination and intolerance have no place in the 21st century, and any town, city or state that enshrines it into law will not be judged kindly by history or by the American public."
• 
"The message being sent is we are not going to even extend protection to the houses of worship, to religious schools."
• 
But it became clear Gov.  Deal was more interested in protecting the Almighty Dollar than he was protecting followers of the Almighty.
• 
Big-name businesses like Coca-Cola, Netflix, Apple, Time Warner and Marriott demanded the governor side with the LGBT community instead of Christians.
•

Gov.  Deal's veto was an act of political cowardice and political expedience.  He betrayed the good Christian people of Georgia and demonstrated once again why voters are so frustrated with the Republican Party.

Instead of bending over for big business, the governor should've given Disney and all those other anti-Christian corporate bullies the heave-ho.

Theodore "Theo" Olson, a special education teacher at Como Park High School in St.  Paul, Minn., was placed on administrative leave March 9 over two posts he wrote on Facebook about student discipline in the school district.

The posts were deemed offensive by former school board candidate turned Black Lives Matter activist Rashad Turner who reportedly accused Olson of being a racist.  Turner said Olson's posts show he is "the epitome of a bad teacher" and a "white supremacist."
• 
Olson wrote on Facebook, "Anyone care to explain to me the school-to-prison pipeline my colleagues and I have somehow created, or perpetuated, or not done enough to interrupt?  Because if you can't prove it, the campaigns you've waged to deconstruct adult authority in my building by enabling student misconduct, you seriously owe us real teachers an apology.  Actually, an apology won't cut it."

"Phones and iPad devices, used for social media and gaming.  There have always been rules for ‘devices,' and defined levels of misconduct.  Since we now have no backup, no functional location to send kids who won't quit gaming, setting up fights, selling drugs, whoring trains, or cyber bullying, we're screwed, just designing our own classroom rules."
• 
The group, Black Lives Matter St.  Paul, charged that Olson portrayed students as drug dealers and gang bangers in his Facebook posts about a lack of district support in discipline matters.
• 
Black Lives Matter had threatened a "shut-down action" at the school if Olson was not fired.

... Olson was placed on administrative leave and that the district "is currently conducting an investigation."

"This petition has been started because the current incumbent Valeria Silva has constantly demonstrated her inability to drive improvements in local St Paul schools."

"Hey look, I found this knife on what I think is O.J.  Simpson's property.  It is dirty, muddy and rusted out, but do you guys want it."
• 
... immediately after Maycott was given the knife, Maycott called the LAPD traffic division to report what he was given.
• 
"O.J.  Simpson has been acquitted (so) there's nothing we can do."
• 
After talking with the police, Maycott believed the knife had "no evidentiary value." He subsequently placed the object in a toolbox, where it remained for the next 13 years.
• 
"He also doesn't want to be portrayed as the bumbling cop who had evidence here and did not do anything with it.  He did ask what he should do with that knife."
• 
"It is being treated as we would all evidence," ... police were "quite shocked" to learn about the knife after so many years.
• 
The weapon used in the killings has been a mystery for decades.

Morici, who served seven years in the Army, including a stint in Afghanistan, was fired from his management job at a Beltsville CVS because he intervened and tried to catch the men, FOX5 reported.

But Morici said his reactions were purely based on instinct when two men tried robbing the CVS pharmacy during his shift.

"The two kids ran into the door, which was closed now, and Joe got one of them and had him."

Exactly who is in charge of Hollywood's "institutional" or "structural" or "systemic" racism?  Names would be helpful.  Speaking of names, which of the "white" Oscar nominees were undeserving?  Who received nominations instead of worthier black nominees?  Again, how about some names?
• 
As to Hollywood's presumed racism, do blacks have anything to atone for?  After all, according to a 2013 Rasmussen poll, when blacks, Hispanics and whites were asked which group is most likely to be racist, all — including blacks — said blacks were the most racist.

"After two decades of lower crime, New Yorkers have gotten used to safe subways, but riders are now being warned to exercise a level of caution that harks back to an earlier era."
• 
Twelve people have died in stabbings or slashings in the nation's largest city to date in 2016, but most of the slashings have been random attacks that have left victims with facial cuts.
• 
Late Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, police said three slashing attacks happened around the city.
• 
A homeless man was arrested in a Brooklyn attack that caused minor injuries to a victim, while an unsolved attack in the Bronx left a man with cuts to the face, police said.
• 
In another Brooklyn slashing early Wednesday, an 18-year-old man was slashed by two people.  After a woman distracted him, the man attacked him from behind.
• 
NYPD Commissioner William Bratton has downplayed the attacks, maintaining the city is "safer than ever."
• 
While that claim is borne out by some figures, the puzzling rise in slashing attacks – now averaging roughly 10 per day, defies explanation.
• 
Attackers have wielded every type of blade — from boxcutter to machete — and victims range from a 71-year-old woman commuting to work who was slashed across the cheek with a razor to a tourist who needed 150 stitches after being slashed across the face.

"Random violence is up all across the country, but in New York City, where gun control is overly restrictive, it is an epidemic with sharp blades."

"This is proof positive that demonizing guns does not solve the problem of violence.  I bet some of those victims wish that they had a gun for self-defense."

      Ex-CEO Shkreli smirks, pleads Fifth at hearing on drug price hikes  (Fox 02/04/2016)
• 
The former pharmaceutical executive who generated national outrage after he raised the price of a once-cheap life-saving pill to $750 was unapologetic and showed his contempt for lawmakers Thursday — invoking his Fifth Amendment rights and rolling his eyes, as one congressman asked if he was "even paying attention."
• 
Shkreli's lawyer ... said his client wasn't being disrespectful but that his eyerolls and smirks were the result of nervous energy.
• 
After walking out of the hearing Shkreli tweeted: "Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government."
• 
Problems with the prescription drug market – price increases, lack of transparency in pricing and regulatory roadblocks for generic drug alternatives – were the focus of the hearing.
• 
Shkreli faces separate criminal charges of securities fraud in connection with another drug company he owned.
• 
The lawmakers summoned him to answer for the decision that made him infamous: raising the price for Daraprim, the only approved drug for a rare and sometimes deadly parasitic infection.
• 
Also appearing before the lawmakers is Turing's chief commercial officer Nancy Retzlaff and the interim CEO of Canada's largest drugmaker, Valeant Pharmaceuticals Howard Schiller.
• 
Documents from Valeant and Turing show they have made a practice of buying and then dramatically raising prices for, low-cost drugs given to patients with life-threatening conditions including heart disease, AIDS and cancer.
• 
The documents show how executives at both companies planned to maximize profits while fending off negative publicity over the price hikes.
• 
Shkreli said in an email to one contact: "We raised the price from $1,700 per bottle to $75,000.  Should be a very handsome investment for all of us."
• 
Valeant used patient assistance programs to distract attention and justify its price hikes.

• 
With an unusual choice of language, US Secretary of State John Kerry waded into Islamic theological debate on Tuesday when he branded the Islamic State terror group "apostates."
• 
The United States affords its citizens religious freedom and does not consider apostasy a crime, but Kerry chose the term to rubbish the jihadists' claims of piety. 
• 
"Daesh is in fact nothing more than a mixture of killers, of kidnappers, of criminals, of thugs, of adventurers, of smugglers and thieves."
• 
"And they are also above all apostates, people who have hijacked a great religion and lie about its real meaning and lie about its purpose and deceive people in order to fight for their purposes."

      Baltimore mosque set for Obama visit has controversial ties  (Fox 02/01/2016)
• 
The controversy centers around the Islamic Society of Baltimore's former imam, who has ties not only to the Muslim Brotherhood but the Northern Virginia mosque where the radical Anwar al-Awlaki used to preach.
• 
"As a Muslim American I'm just insulted, this is disgraceful that this is one of the mosques — or the mosque — that he's chosen to visit.  This mosque is very concerning."
• 
While the president has visited mosques overseas, this is the first visit in the U.S.
• 
... Islamic law does not allow suicide bombings in most instances, but, "if certain Muslims are to be cornered where they cannot defend themselves, except through these kinds of means, and their local religious leaders issued fatwas to permit that, then it becomes acceptable as an exceptional rule, but should not be taken as a principle."
• 
President George W.  Bush took similar heat when, just six days after the 9/11 attacks, he visited a Washington, D.C., mosque and attempted to reach out to the Muslim-American population.
• 
"These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith," Bush said at the time.  "And it's important for my fellow Americans to understand that."
• 
"[Obama] is visiting a mosque that [is] against our Muslim reform movement.  Historically, as I said before, they are basically a radical, extreme mosque and is not representative of modern Muslims in America."

• 
They served the United States on battlefields from Korea to Iraq, but now they live in the shadow of the nation they once served, deported to Mexico for offenses as minor as getting caught with marijuana.
• 
While many U.S.  veterans find adjusting to civilian life difficult, writing a bad check, possessing marijuana or getting into a bar fight are enough to get some veterans banished from the nation they fought to protect.
• 
In one particularly cruel irony, honorably discharged veterans like Barajas remain eligible for VA benefits and medical treatment for injuries suffered during their service.  But most of these benefits lie in the U.S., beyond their reach.
• 
"I'm still entitled to a military funeral and the VA will pay for the marker.  I can't come back now, but I can be buried in Arlington.  Only then will they give me an American flag and say, ‘Thank you for your service.'"
• 
At the heart of the issue lies the question of whether non-citizen veterans earned special treatment on the battlefield.
• 
"Anyone who has served our country and risked their lives or provided service for the citizens of this country as a veteran deserves amnesty — especially when there are so many who have done nothing to earn citizenship or provide a military service to our country."

      Lawsuit: Public school forced my child to convert to Islam  (Fox 01/29/2016)
• 
A public high school has been accused of radical Islamic indoctrination by forcing children to profess the Muslim statement of faith, ordering them to memorize the Five Pillars of Islam and teaching that the faith of a Muslim is stronger than the average Christian.
• 
"Defendants forced Wood's daughter to disparage her Christian faith by reciting the Shahada, and acknowledging Mohammed as her spiritual leader."
• 
The Shahada is the Islamic Creed, "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah."
• 
"The course also taught false statements such as Allah is the same God worshipped by Christians and Islam is a ‘religion of peace,'"
• 
Good grief.  It sounds as if somebody turned La Plata High School into a taxpayer-funded Madrassa.
• 
The lawsuit, filed in federal court, alleges that students spent only one day studying Christianity and two weeks studying Islam.
• 
"During its brief instruction on Christianity, Defendants failed to cover any portion of the Bible or other non-Islamic religious texts, such as the Ten Commandments.  Instead, the class included disparaging remarks about Christianity and the Pope."
• 
Students were also allegedly instructed that "the Islamic religion is a fact while Christianity and Judaism are just beliefs."
• 
"United States Supreme Court precedent does not create a double standard that allows for the promotion of Islam in our public schools while disallowing and silencing teachings of Christianity and Judaism."
• 
They also instructed students that Islam is a peaceful religion and they treated conquered nations with kindness and respect.
• 
On a side note, I'm sure there are plenty of Syrian and Iraqi Christians who would love to weigh in on that classroom lesson.
• 
The school also instructed students on jihad "a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty; a personal struggle in devotion to Islam especially involving spiritual discipline."
• 
If La Plata High School wanted to teach children about jihad, they should've replayed the video footage of what happened on September 11, 2001 – or the Boston Marathon bombing – or the San Bernardino massacre or the Chattanooga attacks.
• 
Folks, our public schools have become indoctrination centers – promoting Islam and marginalizing every other religion.  I've reported on similar incidents across the country.
• 
Why hasn't the Freedom From Religion Foundation weighed in?  What about the American Civil Liberties Union?  Their silence is peculiar.
• 
I suspect their reaction would have been a bit different had La Plata High School been baptizing children and forcing them to memorize John 3:16.

      Democrats block bill to curb the flow of refugees  (INN 01/21/2017)
• 
Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked consideration of a Republican bill that would curb the flow of Syrian and Iraqi refugees into the United States in order to prevent terrorists from slipping in.
• 
The result means the refugee bill, which passed the House with broad bipartisan support in November, likely is dead for the year.
• 
The bill was brought up for discussion after no less than 24 states announced they would block the program to resettle Syrian migrants within their borders, following the Paris attacks in November, in which one of the terrorists snuck into Europe with a group of Syrian refugees.
• 
President Barack Obama had warned he would veto the bill if it made it to his desk, and also told state officials across the country that states do not have legal authority to refuse to accept Syrian refugees.
• 
"It's clear that many Americans are concerned about the administration's ability to properly vet thousands of individuals from Syria and Iraq.  Elected officials in both parties have expressed concerns too, as have administration officials."
• 
"That's why many Americans are asking us to take a step back and press 'pause' on the program so we can ensure we have the correct policies and security screenings in place."
• 
Obama, who has pushed the Syrian refugee program despite the security concerns, struck out at Republicans in November, accusing them of demonizing "widows and orphans" and of "hysteria" following the Paris attacks.

      Rolling Stone's rock star: Sean Penn blames America, not El Chapo, for drug violence  (Fox 01/12/2016)
• 
More striking was the oblivious stance of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, who seemed more concerned with shielding the international narcotics king than with the ethical quandaries involved.
• 
"I was worried that I did not want to provide the details that would be responsible for his capture."
• 
"We were very conscientious on our end and on Sean's end, keeping it quiet, using a separate protected part of our server for emails."
• 
... "we would have done everything that a traditional journalism operation would have done in terms of protecting sources."
• 
So El Chapo was a "source" to be protected by the left-wing magazine.
• 
Look at his description of El Chapo: An "almost mythic figure." A "humble" person.  A "Robin Hood-like figure who provided much-needed services in the Sinaloa mountains." A "figure entrenched in American folklore."
• 
Yes, he is "a cold pragmatist known to deliver a single shot to the head for any mistakes made in a shipment." But that's business, right?
• 
Penn also says he is "drawn to explore what may be inconsistent with the portrayals our government and media brand upon their declared enemies."
• 
So Senor Guzman is just the victim of bad PR? 
• 
He is not merely alleged to have run a global narcotics business, he was convicted of these crimes.
• 
What this piece amounted to is a successful attempt by El Chapo to soften his image as a ruthless murderer.  He gets to say, largely without challenge, that he only uses violence when he is attacked. 
• 
In the end, the actor and author finds a way to blame America and its drug users:
• 
"Are we saying that what's systemic in our culture, and out of our direct hands and view, shares no moral equivalency to those abominations that may rival narco assassinations in Juarez?"
• 
The scourge of narcotics and drug violence and murdered journalists isn't El Chapo's fault, you see.  It's our fault.

A public high school in Maine was caught red-handed trying to recruit students to work on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign as a "community service opportunity" – without the knowledge or consent of parents.
• 
Could you imagine the national media firestorm had the school been recruiting for Donald Trump's campaign?

"Hillary for New Hampshire is looking for smart, energetic winter fellows who are committed to winning the New Hampshire primary for Hillary Clinton."

      Florida college fires wacky professor who claimed Sandy Hook shooting was staged by government  (Fox 01/06/2016)
• 
Tracy has made headlines by claiming on his blog that the school shooting, in which 20 children and six adults were killed by a mentally ill gunman, never happened.
• 
He made similar claims about the movie shooting rampage in Aurora, Colo., later that year, the 2013 Boston marathon bombing and other mass shootings.
• 
"Tracy is among those who have personally sought to cause our family pain and anguish by publicly demonizing our attempts to keep cherished photos of our slain son from falling into the hands of conspiracy theorists."
• 
The Pozners' son Noah was one of the children killed in the Dec.  14, 2012, massacre.  The still-grieving parents claimed that Tracy sent them a certified letter demanding proof Noah ever existed, then ridiculed them on his blog when they refused to respond.
• 
Tracy previously told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel he considers his conspiracy-mongering a scholarly endeavor.
• 
"I describe myself as a scholar and public intellectual interested in going more deeply into controversial public events."
• 
"Although some may see [my theories] as beyond the pale, I am doing what we should be doing as academics."
• 
"While it sounds like an outrageous claim, one is left to inquire whether the Sandy Hook shooting ever took place — at least in the way law enforcement authorities and the nation's news media have described."
• 
He later theorized that the Boston marathon attack, in which three people were killed and nearly 200 injured, was a "mass casualty drill" planned by the government.
• 
"In short, the event closely resembles a mass-casualty drill, which for training purposes are designed to be as lifelike as possible," Tracy wrote on his blog.  "Since it is mediated, however, and primarily experienced from afar through the careful assemblage of words, images and the official pronouncements and commentary of celebrity journalists, it has the semblance of being, for all practical purposes, ‘real.'"

• 
The conservative Media Research Center has compiled some of the more outrageous statements made during 2015 in its annual list of "Notable Quotables."
• 
"Americans are lucky to have Barack Obama as president and we should wake up and appreciate it while we can.  President Obama will go down in history as an extraordinary president, probably a great one.  ... It would be a morale booster and a sign of civic maturity if more Americans appreciated what an exceptional president they have right now.  It could be a long wait for the next one."
• 
"Fueled by the mega-donations of the mega-rich, today's Republican Party is not just far from being the party of Lincoln: It's really the party of Jefferson Davis.  It suppresses black voting; it opposes federal efforts to mitigate poverty; it objects to federal investment in infrastructure and education just as the antebellum South opposed internal improvements and rejected public education; it scorns compromise.  It is nearly all white.  It is the lineal descendant of Lee's army, and the descendants of Grant's have yet to subdue it."
• 
"As a Times columnist, I can't do endorsements, so you have no idea which party I favor in general elections."
• 
Oh really?  I might be willing to pay a year of Krugman's rent or mortgage if he could prove he ever voted for a conservative Republican, or if he could point to one in the newsroom.

• 
Damages were award in July for emotional suffering caused by the bakery which refused to make a wedding cake for Laurel and Rachel Bowman-Cryer more than two years ago.
• 
The bakers said they refused to make the cake because of their religious beliefs.
• 
The dispute goes back to January 2013 when Bowman-Cryer came into the shop with her mother for a cake-tasting appointment.  However, Aaron Klein told the women that the bakery didn't do cakes for same-sex weddings.  The women filed complaints with the state and triggered a national debate over claims of religious beliefs against anti-discrimination laws.
• 
Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian awarded the damages nearly six months ago, saying the owners had violated the women's civil rights by discriminating on the basis of their sexual orientation.  They were also slapped with a gag order that prohibited them from speaking publicly about their refusal to participate in or bake wedding cakes for same-sex marriages.

• 
Anti-free speech demonstrators at one of America's most vaunted universities have claimed a pair of scalps – a husband-wife duo who say teaching is too much trouble in a campus climate "not conducive to civil dialogue."
• 
"I have great respect and affection for my students, but I worry that the current climate at Yale is not, in my view, conducive to the civil dialogue and open inquiry required to solve our urgent societal problems."
• 
The video showed Nicholas Christakis, a physician and professor of social and natural science, calmly trying to reason with a student who was screaming at him for not keeping students "safe," as others snapped their fingers in a trendy sign of approval.
• 
The school is ultimately responsible for the chill on free speech, according to Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
• 
"While Yale did eventually get around to issuing a statement in favor of free expression, it's hard to imagine that Erika or Nicholas Christakis would have decided to quit teaching at Yale and take a sabbatical, respectively, had Dean Holloway or President [Peter] Salovey consistently shown their support for free expression through their words and actions on campus."
• 
The issue of free expression on campus has come into sharp relief on several campuses, with students calling for "safe zones" and speech codes where words and deeds deemed offensive are barred.
• 
Erika Christakis provoked outrage when she sent an email to Silliman residents questioning the desire to find offense in Halloween costumes.

      Tabloid taunt: The media turn partisan after San Bernardino massacre  (Fox 12/04/2015)
• 
New York's Daily News used to play it pretty straight–a flashy tabloid, to be sure, but one that kept its opinions on the editorial page.
• 
Yesterday's taunting cover, aimed at blaming the Republicans in the wake of the San Bernardino massacre, shows how far it's moved left.
• 
The paper's screaming front-page headline: "GOD ISN'T FIXING THIS." There were photos of Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham and Paul Ryan tweeting prayers for the victims.  "As latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind meaningless platitudes."
• 
It's pretty standard, of course, for politicians to offer thoughts and prayers for the victims after a tragedy.  Democrats did it as well, including President Obama.
• 
But to declare that prayers are an empty substitute for stronger gun control is to demonize the other side on ideological grounds.
• 
The gun debate is worth having, but even proponents recognize that stricter background checks wouldn't prevent many or most of these shootings.
• 
The problem, which includes mental health issues, goes much deeper.
• 
And here we are, with the same old blame-shifting that does precisely nothing to alleviate these problems.
• 
Everyone I talk to is depressed about the rising tide of shootings.  Too bad the media are helping to divide us at a very difficult time.

Berenson was questioned by federal officials for hours at the New York City airport, but the U.S.  ambassador to Peru, Brian Nichols, told reporters that she did not face any charges in the United States.

A daughter of college professors, Berenson dropped out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and headed to Latin America to support leftist movements, working for rebels in El Salvador before traveling to Peru in late 1994.

She was convicted of "collaborating with terrorism" for assisting the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement as it prepared in 1995 to seize congress and take lawmakers hostage.
• 
... the single mother sped through Lima's airport terminal ringed by police.  Recognizing her, people shouted "get out of here terrorist!"
• 
And she said she still believes, as she declared when arrested, that Tupac Amaru was not a terrorist group.
• 
"It could have acted at times using terrorist tactics, but that it was a terrorist organization, I don't think the label fits."
• 
She hopes for employment in social work.  Last year, she finished a bachelor's degree in sociology online from the City University of New York.
• 
"My objective is to continue to work in social justice issues, in a different capacity obviously."

Tupac Amaru projected a Robin Hood image, stealing food and distributing it to the poor.  But it also committed ransom kidnappings, killed police and soldiers and assassinated an army general.

Those wagging their fingers at critics of President Obama's plan to bring thousands of Middle East refugees to the America have an irresistible new talking point: Lady Liberty was Muslim.

As lyrical as the claim about the inspiration behind Lady Liberty may be for some, it is historically dubious, according to experts.

The torch and tablet-bearing statue has always been believed to represent the Roman goddess Libertas, welcoming immigrants to American shores.

Whether their parents think it's important to be around people of different races;
• 
Whether their parents have friends of different races;

How many times their parents have done things to make them less trusting of people of other races.

We have the Washington Post editorial page calling him a demagogue running a campaign of "growing ugliness" and declaring: "The only way to beat a bully is to stand up to him."
• 
And it's hard to imagine the Post running this column headline about almost anyone else: "Donald Trump's Rally Carries Echo of Hitler's Rise to Power."
• 
... after the Washington Post's fact-checker gave Trump's claim four Pinnochios, he found a small measure of vindication in a 2001article in that very paper that said: "Law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river."
• 
The mainstream media, as Trump's camp sees it, don't want to report that some people across the country were happy about the devastation of 9/11.
• 
Here's that New York Times editorial: "America has just lived through another presidential campaign week dominated by Donald Trump's racist lies...
• 
"Mr.  Trump has distinguished himself as fastest to dive to the bottom.  If it's a lie too vile to utter aloud, count on Mr.  Trump to say it, often.  It wins him airtime, and retweets through the roof."
• 
And here's a NYT news story: "No one ever expected Mr.  Trump to turn himself into the issues expert of the Republican presidential field.  Yet the verbal shortcuts and salesmanlike stretches that he has relied on for months — generalities used to dodge questions, and questionable recollections — are tripping him up as the tenor of the campaign has grown more serious."
• 
"The mainstream political media has such a pathological dedication to the notion of balance and ‘objectivity' that it often finds itself at a complete loss when it comes to dealing with someone like Trump.  But the kind of filth that he and others are putting out has long since moved past the debatable stage.  There is an Islamophobic crisis building in this country."

      American Universities Begin to Implode  (JWR 11/24/2015)
• 
For over half a century, American universities, with few exceptions, have ceased teaching and begun indoctrinating.  In the last few weeks, this downhill spiral has accelerated. 
• 
Protesters at Dartmouth College invaded the school's library and screamed at white students studying there.
• 
"About 150 Dartmouth students this week protested in the school's Baker-Berry Library, chanting "Black Lives Matter" — and harassing kids who tried to keep studying.
• 
Oh, and assaulting them, too, according to The Dartmouth Review, which reported that protesters pinned one girl to a wall while calling her a "filthy white b?-?-?-?h."
• 
Other chants included "F?-?-?k your white privilege!" and "F?-?-?k you, you filthy white f?-?-?ks!"
• 
The response of Dartmouth?  An apology to the racist attackers: "The school's vice provost for student affairs, Inge-Lise Ameer, told the BLMers [Black Lives Matter] "I'm very, very sorry that you feel this way.  We don't want you to have this experience here...  We told them [the protesters] that ... the protest was a wonderful, beautiful thing."
      Over the line?  A top Daily Beast editor urges boycott against 'racist' Trump  (Fox 11/24/2015)
• 
A journalist took to Twitter to demand a boycott of Trump's businesses.  And he's not just some columnist or commentator.  He's the executive editor of the Daily Beast.
• 
In other words, Noah Shachtman, a top editor at a news operation, sees no problem with attacking the Republican front-runner and trying to damage his corporate interests.  That sounds like something a political activist would do.
• 
"Let's get real: if you're renting in a Trump building or playing a round of golf at a Trump resort, you are supporting racism & neo-fascism."
• 
... the executive editor for news, believes Trump is an out-and-out racist and practically a modern-day Mussolini.  So now hitting the links at one of his courses makes a golfer implicit in racism?
• 
"...  we sure as hell aren't going to get lectured on journalistic ethics by a site run by a professional polarizer like Glenn Beck."
• 
... when you're the executive editor of a major news site, what you post in public is not truly personal.  And would journalists amass a large number of social media fans if they didn't have prominent platforms?
• 
Should Trump's campaign, or Trump supporters, believe the site will be fair-minded toward him?  Or rather beastly?
• 
"I'm still not sure it's 100 percent clear that Donald Trump really understands that he's a neo-fascist"
• 
The Beast's commentators and columnists can say, and tweet, whatever they want.  An executive editor, it seems to me, should be held to a different standard.

Ahmed Mohamed is looking to strike it rich before the clock strikes midnight on the "clock kid" story.
• 
Attorneys for Mohamed, 14, and his family want $15 million in damages and apologies from several officials stemming from Mohamed's September 14 arrest, when he brought to school a homemade clock that a teacher flagged as a possible bomb.
• 
"As American citizens, all of us — even the ones with ‘Muslim-sounding' names like Ahmed Mohamed — are entitled to have public officials with whom we come in contact to respect our rights."
• 
The so-called "clock kid" incident prompted outrage from some who claimed Mohamed was profiled for being a Muslim and wrongfully arrested by police and suspended by MacArthur High School for a simple misunderstanding.
• 
The media circus that quickly enveloped the Texas high school freshman eventually even reached the White House.
• 
President Obama tweeted Mohamed an invitation to a White House event after complimenting the clock design.
• 
Mohamed has contended he built the clock to display his love of electronics.
• 
Detractors have suggested the clock was purchased pre-made and the entire episode was a carefully staged event.

A day after Mohamed met Obama at an October event at the White House, Mohamed's family announced it was leaving the U.S.  for Qatar.

      University suspends yoga class, citing 'cultural issues' that may offend students  (Fox 11/23/2015)
• 
A yoga instructor who teaches at the University of Ottawa says she is fighting to keep her program alive after the school's student body suspended it over concerns that "cultural issues" relating to the class could offend students.
• 
... "while yoga is a really great idea and accessible and great for students...  there are cultural issues of implication involved in the practice.
• 
"Yoga has been under a lot of controversy lately due to how it is being practiced," the email continues, and which cultures those practices "are being taken from."
• 
The Student Federation ... went on to say that many of those cultures "have experienced oppression, cultural genocide and diasporas due to colonialism and Western supremacy...  we need to be mindful of this and how we express ourselves while practicing yoga."
• 
... the class has been put on hold until a way can be figured out "to make it better, more accessible and more inclusive to certain groups of people that feel left out in yoga-like spaces."
• 
"We are trying to have those sessions done in a way in which students are aware of where the spiritual and cultural aspects come from, so that these sessions are done in a respectful manner."
• 
But Scharf, who instructed about 60 students each week in the program, said, "people are just looking for a reason to be offended by anything they can find."

Amid Washington's raging debate over refugees and religion, more than two dozen Iraqi Christians who crossed into the U.S.  from Mexico in hopes of joining their friends and families are being deported after their bids for religious asylum were rejected.
• 
"We wonder why, for thousands of Muslims, the door is open to America, yet Christians are not allowed to come."

Their supporters say that holding the Iraqi Chaldeans responsible for mistakes made navigating the U.S.  immigration bureaucracy is unjust given that the U.S, is currently considering fast-tracking the resettlement of 10,000 mostly Muslim refugees from Syria.
• 
President Obama has objected to prioritizing Christians or other religious minorities over Muslims amid the current refugee wave, sparking a major debate with critics.
• 
Republicans and Christian leaders say persecuted religions should be afforded extra protection, while some in the GOP also say Islamic terrorists could hide among legitimate Muslim refugees from the Middle East.
• 
"If the particular security threat you are concerned about is jihadist terror, there are no Christian jihadist terrorists."
• 
"But for the purpose of asylum analysis, the question is likelihood of persecution.  There is no question that Christians face more persecution in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East than Muslims do.  We should acknowledge that Christians are being subjected to genocide and take steps to protect them."

Although one of the most ancient civilizations in the world, Iraq's Christian population has fallen from around 1.5 million in 2003 to far below 200,000 now in what many scholars condemn as tantamount to genocide.

• 
... son brought home a notebook that included a stick-figure man saying, "Believe in Allah!  There is no other god."
• 
Even the folks at the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations frowned on boys and girls singing in four-part harmony about Muslims making an explosion.
• 
So it's unconstitutional to sing "Amazing Grace" but school kids can sing praise songs to Allah?
• 
You would think the atheists and agnostics and freethinkers would be outraged over such Islamic indoctrination.  You would think they would've already dispatched their lawyers – demanding they cease and desist.

But as we all know – the atheist, agnostics and freethinkers only attack Christians.  As the songwriter one wrote, I suspect they turn a blind eye to the Muslims because they fear someone might "make an explosion."

"Obama's tone in addressing the Paris atrocity was all wrong.  At times he was patronizing, at other times he seemed annoyed and almost dismissive.  The president said, essentially, that he had considered all the options and decided that even a large-scale terrorist attack in the heart of a major European capital was not enough to make him reconsider his policy."

He also said the uncertainty of his execution inflicts suffering and, if it ever goes forward, it will serve no legitimate purpose for retribution or deterring other criminals.

      UofM President Run Out of Town by Mob of Race Agitators  (11/09/2015)
• 
The president of the University of Missouri has resigned — run out of town by a rampaging mob of race agitators...
• 
Tim Wolfe had been under fire over racially charged incidents on campus — mostly unsubstantiated incidents...
• 
Among other things – The protesters had demanded President Wolfe acknowledge his white male privilege.
• 
The football team joined the mob – along with the head coach and athletic director.  And that pretty pretty much sealed the president's fate.
• 
So here's my take.  The university should've kept the president and fired the football coach.  They should've revoked the scholarships of the striking players and replaced them with kids who actually want to play football and get an education.
• 
I don't know Tim Wolfe – but I sorta feel sorry for the guy.
• 
As far as I can tell – the only thing he's guilty of — is being a white man.

"The way white students are treated is in stark contrast to the way black students and other marginalized students are treated, and it's time to stop that.  It's 2015."
• 
Concerned Student 1950 has demanded, among other things, that Wolfe "acknowledge his white male privilege," that he be removed immediately, and that the school adopt a mandatory racial-awareness program and hire more black faculty and staff.
• 
Wolfe hasn't indicated he has any intention of stepping down, but agreed in a statement Sunday that "change is needed" and said the university is working to draw up a plan by April to promote diversity and tolerance.  He said that most of the group's demands have already been incorporated into the university's draft plan for promoting tolerance.
• 
Already, at Chancellor R.  Bowen Loftin's request, the university announced plans to require diversity training for all new students starting in January, along with faculty and staff.
• 
The Columbia Daily Tribune reported that Wolfe was confronted outside a fundraising event in Kansas City Friday night by protesters who asked him to define systemic oppression.  According to video of the encounter posted on Twitter, Wolfe responded that the students may not like his answer before saying, "Systematic oppression is because you don't believe that you have the equal opportunity for success — "
• 
That statement provoked anger from the protesters, one of whom asked "Did you just blame us for systematic oppression, Tim Wolfe?" as the president walked away.
• 
The racial issues are just the latest controversy at the university in recent months, following the suspension of graduate students' health care subsidies and an end to university contracts with a Planned Parenthood clinic that performs abortions.
      School bans drawings of religious figures after Muhammad assignment  (Fox 11/09/2015)
• 
A California school district announced last week a ban on the drawing of religious figures after a parent complained about a class assignment in which students were directed to draw the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
• 
"I have directed all staff to permanently suspend the practice of drawing or depiction of any religious leader."
• 
"It's not appropriate to have our children go to school and learn how to insult a religious group."
• 
Drawing Muhammad has become a deadly gambit.  Islamic terrorists killed 11 and wounded 11 others in an attack on the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo in January.  Those responsible perpetrated the bloodbath because of the paper's numerous illustrations of Muhammad.
• 
Four months later, two Islamic gunmen were shot and killed outside of a Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas.  The duo had planned a massacre of the contest's participants.
      Sources: Vocal supporter of sanctuary cities on short list to be next head of Border Patrol  (Fox 11/09/2015)
• 
As police chief, Heather Fong shielded illegal immigrants, including aliens who committed crimes, from deportation.
• 
In contrast, it is the job of the U.S.  Border Patrol to catch and deport all illegal immigrants, including those with a criminal history.
• 
"If they bring (a police chief) in for political purposes based on the sanctuary cities model, that politicizes the job and I think it completely undermines credibility and morale in the organization."
• 
"If you have someone who is advocating for sanctuary cities, that's the opposite side.  They welcome these illegal immigrants to stay in the country.  And so I think it's at cross-purpose with the mission itself."
• 
"The appointment of Heather Fong would prove that the Border Patrol is no longer the enforcement agency that Congress and the American public intended it to be."
• 
"Heather Fong oversaw a sanctuary city, which is directly contrary to our mission.  Her appointment would be for political purposes and the trust of the men and woman of the Border Patrol in DHS and CBP leadership would be lost."
• 
"We do not cooperate with ICE when they go out for enforcement of immigration violations of the law."
• 
"We do not work on enforcing immigration laws."

      'Abuse of passed out girl': How Internet search engines choose to ignore sexual assault  (Fox 10/27/2015)
• 
Google and its largest competitors still display videos and images that have descriptions alleging the media contains sexual assault or abuse.  Why should those search engines facilitate access to material openly promoted as being both horrific and illegal?
• 
Although it's often impossible to stop individuals from anonymously posting illegal videos to pornography websites, it is possible for search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing to prevent the material from being displayed, listed, and promoted on their sites.
• 
These services have sophisticated algorithms to enhance both the user experience and their own bottom lines.  Unfortunately, a shortsighted concern for the latter appears to be discouraging them from removing these videos from search engine results.
• 
Search engines have an obligation to the victims in these videos and to the world to act with decency and compassion by banning any websites that consistently promote this kind of material.
• 
In the long-term, it is in the economic best interests of these search engines to correct these horrific policies.  Egregious breaches of individuals' privacy will likely bring pressure from government agencies to remedy the problem, which could lead to an undesirable expansion of government power over the Internet.
• 
More importantly, search engines have a moral duty to prevent the damage these illegal and despicable videos cause.

      Safety concerns prompt Border Patrol to pull out of college job fair amid protests  (Fox 10/26/2015)
• 
Accusing the federal agency charged with protecting U.S.  borders of "unjust killings, ....  racial profiling, use of force, and unjust violence," protesters at University of California-Irvine succeeded in stopping the Border Patrol from taking part in a weekend career fair - and blocked students from learning more about a possible job opportunity.
• 
The petition claimed "having Border Patrol agents on campus is a blatant disregard to undocumented students' safety and well-being" and is insulting to "mixed-status families."
• 
The petition claimed the mere presence of Border Patrol representatives could prove traumatic for students.
• 
"The fact that UCI has invited an agency known for racial profiling, use of force, and unjustified violence is an act of disrespect and insensitivity and ignores the struggles and needs of the undocumented student community on campus."
• 
Ironically, most of the people who signed the petition weren't students from the university...
• 
... the campaign was organized by outsiders "politicizing a jobs fair aimed at helping college students find work once they graduate."
• 
Even if the 640 people who signed the petition were in fact enrolled at the 30,000-student campus, that's just 2 percent of the student body...
• 
"The Border Patrol in San Diego conducted 37 rescue missions and saved 96 people from Oct.  1, 2014 to Aug.  31, 2015, rescuing them from the elements and environment when they attempted to cross into the U.S.  illegally."
• 
"Students didn't want Border Patrol there because it is an immoral, human rights-violating institution.  This is about denouncing an organization that has ruined literally millions of people's lives through detention and deportation, and has deported unknown thousands to their deaths in their home countries.  This is a civil rights movement for everyone, regardless of citizenship.  This is bravery."
• 
"If you don't like the Border Patrol, it still doesn't give you license to demand their removal.  Especially since they were there to recruit for jobs as opposed to running patrols."
• 
"It's up to individual students to determine which employers may or may not align with their diverse talents, values and interests."
      Moral dementia at Stanford and Berkeley  (INN 10/25/2015)
• 
In a display of moral narcissism that British columnist Melanie Phillips has characterized as a "dialogue of the demented," Stanford students staged a public protest on October 19th to once again denounce Israel and, presumably, to honor the slain homicidal Palestinians who have so far claimed the lives of 11 Israelis in a recent spate of violence in Jerusalem and parts of Judea and Samaria.
• 
Activists on the Stanford and Berkeley campuses, who never have to face a physical threat more serious than getting jostled while waiting in line for a latte at Starbucks, are quick to denounce Israel's very real existential threats and the necessity of the Jewish state to take counter measures to thwart terrorism against its civilian population.
• 
Those students who lend their moral support to terrorism, and who continually see the existence of "grievance-based violence" as a justifiable tool of the oppressed, have helped introduce a sick moral relativism into discussions about radical Islam and Palestinianism, not to mention Israel's right to protect its citizens from being slaughtered.
• 
That those students purporting to care about attaining social justice for the downtrodden are willing to let another group of people be murdered as part of that well-meaning campaign demonstrates quite clearly that a moral dementia has enveloped the anti-Israel crowd in a way that is both frightening and tragic, and we should see it for what it really is.

      ‘Obvious flight risk’: Toddler's brutal beating prompts call to withhold bail from illegal immigrants  (Fox 10/23/2015)
• 
While Chavez is in the wind, his alleged victim, the 2-year-old daughter of his live-in girlfriend, is now in foster care, paralyzed from the beating that also left her with both arms and a femur broken.  Well before he was arrested in San Luis Obispo County for attacking the child, Chavez had compiled a lengthy criminal record that includes assault and drug convictions and arrests for violent acts such as kidnapping, car-jacking and cruelty to a child.
• 
Weeks after Chavez slipped out of custody, on Sept.  1, another 2-year-old toddler named Jonathan Montez was run down and killed in San Bernardino County.  Illegal immigrant Jose Enrique Vasquez, 53, an unlicensed driver who witnesses said was speeding down the child's residential street, fled the scene, according to authorities.  He was arrested two weeks later, and, like Chavez, was granted bail.
• 
last year, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Arizona's 2006 law banning bail for illegal immigrant suspects violated their right to due process and amounted to punishment before trial.
• 
Judges everywhere maintain discretion to deny bail to anyone they believe is likely to flee justice, yet they often fail to consider illegal status as a factor...
• 
... critics say it should be obvious that someone here illegally and suspected of a violent crime will bolt rather than face justice, especially in border states such as California, where they can be out of the country an hour after posting bail.
• 
"Aliens who commit acts of violence should not be released on bail, because they are clearly a danger to the public, and when we have someone with this kind of deportation history, clearly they are an obvious flight risk."
• 
"These judges are making mistakes granting bail to illegal aliens – reckless mistakes that endangered the public."
• 
... local law enforcement agencies say they have no choice but to let even violent illegal immigrant suspects walk once they are granted bail.
• 
"Yes, the judges who ignore this risk are at fault, but Congress provided ICE with a tool to address the problem — detainers — which the Obama administration is not allowing its officers to use."
• 
"How can anyone who in law enforcement let people like this out of custody who we know will likely hurt someone badly, if not kill them, even if they are threatened with a lawsuit?"
• 
"It's pure callous indifference.  I don't know how they live with themselves."

The White House on Tuesday threatened to veto a Republican-backed bill that would crack down on so-called sanctuary cities by withholding funding to local governments that don't cooperate with federal immigration officials.
• 
The congressional legislation coming to the Senate floor Tuesday would make it illegal for local governments to ignore immigration-related detainers — federal requests to notify them before releasing an illegal immigrant so they can take custody — and would make it illegal to bar local officials from sharing immigration information with federal agents.
• 
In advance of the vote, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said on the floor:

      Principal holds up student election results because winners not diverse enough  (Fox 10/20/2015)
• 
"It's not okay for a school that is really, really diverse to have the student representatives majority white.  The easy thing would have been to announce the results and move on.  I intentionally did not choose the easy way because this is so important."
• 
... there were no "English learners" among the winners.  I'm assuming that's what they're calling kids who don't speak a lick of English these days.
• 
There were no allegations of voter intimidation or voter fraud.  There were no reports of hanging chads.  And there were no incidents involving ballot boxes that malfunctioned.  So what was the problem?
• 
The problem, it appears, is that the principal didn't like who got the most votes.  In other words – too many white kids got elected.
• 
For the record, white, Asian and mixed-race students were the highest vote getters...
• 
So the principal seems to think that boys and girls should vote for representatives based on the color of their skin and not the content of their character?
• 
"I feel like it is disrespectful to all the people who were running.  The whole school voted for those people, so it is not like people rigged the game, but in a way – now it is kind of being rigged."
• 
... in today's progressive America – diversity trumps democracy.

      Reporting from Jerusalem: The astonishing bias of NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin  (Fox 10/16/2015)
• 
NBC News foreign correspondent and Palestinian-American Ayman Mohyeldin reported from Jerusalem this week as a Palestinian man dressed in camouflage raced past his camera wielding a knife.
• 
"We were standing here, very quiet, in a very calm scene," Mohyeldin said.  "An individual came running down the stairs" and "a dozen different shots" ended his life.  While the Palestinian man lay on the ground, Mohyeldin said he could confirm that he "doesn't have anything of any harm to [the Israeli police]" on him.
• 
"I just witnessed the shooting of man running down the stairs towards Damascus gate before being gunned down."
• 
With the NBC News videotape running and viewers plainly seeing the Palestinian man with a knife raised in the air, Mohyeldin said he could confirm that "both of his hands were open and both of his hands did not have a knife."
• 
Earlier this year, Mohyeldin said Chris Kyle, the subject of the movie American Sniper, had "racist tendencies" toward Muslims and had gone on a "killing spree" in Iraq.  (Kyle was responsible for killing terrorists who were trying to kill U.S.  soldiers.)

      Lawsuit: Baby Jesus doesn't belong in Christmas play  (Fox 10/09/2015)
• 
You would think the anti-Christmas crowd would wait until there's frost on the pumpkin patch before pillaging and plundering our long-cherished yuletide traditions.
• 
But the Freedom From Religion Foundation has been chomping at the bit to bully those who celebrate the birth of Jesus.
• 
In recent days they've filed a federal lawsuit demanding an Indiana school district yank a Living Nativity from a Christmas production and they successfully forced an Oregon school district to ban choirs from performing at a Catholic shrine.
• 
By way of introduction, the FFRF is a bunch of perpetually offended atheists, agnostics and free-thinkers that hasn't met a lawsuit they couldn't file.  And they become especially grumpy grinches at Christmas time.
• 
The FFRF is demanding an injunction that would forbid the school from "presenting the portion of the Christmas Spectacular with the live Nativity Scene and the telling of the story of the birth of Jesus."
• 
"It is illegal for a public school to endorse religion to students by organizing a religious performance, such as acting out the exclusively Christian legend of Jesus' birth."
• 
"Centering the high school's holiday concert around the nativity is illegal even if participation in the nativity scene is necessary."
• 
Unlike many educators, the Concord School Board decided to stand up to the out-of-town bullies and refused to comply.
• 
"For more than 30 years, the Spectacular has been an important part of the Concord High School holiday experience.  It will continue to be so."
• 
Finally!  A school district willing to tell the Freedom From Religion Foundation to go jingle their bells somewhere else.
• 
Hence, the lawsuit.
• 
"No other faith than the Christian faith has ever been represented in performances staged at the Christmas Spectacular."
• 
Well, that's because Christmas is a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus – you petulant pinheads.
• 
"I can't believe that one individual can take away something so precious to so many."
• 
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has waged a relentless campaign of fear and intimidation against schools across America.  And these godless bullies will not stop until they've eradicated Christianity from the public marketplace.
• 
Heaven help us if they do.
      'Black Lives' leader defends looting in Yale lecture  (Fox 10/08/2015)
• 
The "Black Lives Matter" leader who landed a teaching gig at Yale University delivered a lecture this week on the historical merits of looting as a form of protest, backing up his lesson with required reading that puts modern-day marauders on par with the patriots behind the Boston Tea Party.
• 
"The mystifying ideological claim that looting is violent and non-political is one that has been carefully produced by the ruling class because it is precisely the violent maintenance of property which is both the basis and end of their power."
• 
"On a less abstract level there is a practical and tactical benefit to looting.  Whenever people worry about looting, there is an implicit sense that the looter must necessarily be acting selfishly, ‘opportunistically,' and in excess."
• 
"We believe it's important for students to examine a wide range of viewpoints and ideas."
• 
"The relationship and tension between protest and property destruction is something that America has grappled with since the Revolutionary War & the Boston Tea Party."
• 
"The reading ... allowed us to explore all sides of the American historical relationships and tensions present in protest."
• 
"It's surprising to me students would pay tuition – and likely incur much of that in debt – and be fed a line that crime pays, other people are to blame for one's own problems, and that the system is rigged in favor of white people."
• 
"None of this propaganda will fix one broken family, heal one fatherless family or help one more child learn how to read and become a productive citizen."

I reckon the best case scenario is they're in storage.  The worst case scenario?  They were sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.

      Military should reverse decision against Green Beret who confronted child rapist  (Fox 10/05/2015)
• 
In 2011, Martland and his team leader confronted an Afghan local police commander accused of chaining a little boy to a bed, raping him repeatedly for days on end, and then beating his mother after she reported the abuse to authorities.
• 
When the man laughed it off, Martland and his team leader, Capt.  Dan Quinn, slammed him to the ground and then threw him out of the camp "to make sure that he fully understood that if he ever went near that boy or his mother again, there was going to be hell to pay."
• 
For that response, Martland received a markdown in his performance evaluation, which led to involuntary separation.  Quinn has already left the military.
• 
"You cannot try to impose American values and American norms onto the Afghan culture because they're completely different....  We do not have any power or the ability to use our hands to compel them to be what we see as morally better."
• 
More chilling words could hardly be spoken.  Is child rape now just something that only Americans "think" is wrong?  If acts that evil are morally up for grabs, how do we even identify who America's enemies are?
• 
It's one thing to refrain from imposing every American value on another culture; it is quite another to abdicate our responsibility to respond to clear evil.

      A new low in science: Criminalizing climate change skeptics  (Fox 09/28/2015)
• 
Scientists have many important roles to play in preparations for the upcoming UN Conference on Climate Change in Paris.
• 
Some are working hard to clarify uncertainties in the science, others on developing and evaluating alternative climate policies.
• 
One group of climate scientists is trying a different approach.  Dismayed by what they see as a lack of progress on the implementation of climate policies that they support, these 20 scientists sent a letter to the White House calling for their political opponents to be investigated by the government.
• 
Senator Whitehouse singled out one climate scientist, Willie Soon, a solar physicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who argues that changes in solar radiation, rather than carbon emissions, are the major force behind global warming.
• 
Seven other climate scientists were the targets of a recent McCarthyite ‘witch hunt' by Rep.  Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.).  I was one of the seven.  Rep.  Grijalva indicated that I was investigated because of my recent Congressional testimony summarizing peer-reviewed research indicating that the magnitude and impacts of expected warming could be less than generally believed.
• 
None of the Grijalva 7 was found to have engaged in wrongdoing of any sort, yet there have been significant career consequences for some.
• 
The demand by Senator Whitehouse and the 20 climate scientists for legal persecution of people whose research on science and policy they disagree with represents a new low in the politicization of science.
• 
The role of these 20 scientists is particularly troubling.  The consequence of this persecution, intended or not, is to make pariahs of scientists who are doing exactly what we expect of researchers: to critically evaluate evidence and publish that work in the scientific literature.
• 
Minority perspectives have an important and respected role to play in advancing science, as a mean for testing ideas and pushing the knowledge frontier forward. 
• 
That's even more what real science is about.  It is important for scientists to engage the public and to work with policy makers to assess the impacts and unintended consequences of policy options.
• 
However, it has become ‘fashionable' for academic scientists to advocate for certain political outcomes, without having much understanding of the policy process, economics, or the ethics of such advocacy.
• 
What these 20 scientists have done with their letter is the worst kind of irresponsible advocacy.  Attempts by powerful people to silence other scientists, especially in this brutal fashion, is a recipe for stifling scientific progress and for making poor policies.
• 
Climate policy has been limited by an overly narrow set of narratives and policy options.  Expanding the frameworks for thinking about climate change and climate policy can lead to developing a wider choice of options in addressing the risks from it.
• 
That is how democracy is supposed to work.  We search for solutions that can garner a critical mass of support.  We don't try to criminalize our political opponents, and especially should not try to criminalize scientists who have a different view.
      Green Beret discharged for shoving accused Afghan rapist speaks out  (Fox 09/28/2015)
• 
"Kicking me out of the army is morally wrong and the entire country knows it."
• 
Martland gives a blunt account of the September 2011 encounter with the "brutal child rapist," local police commander Abdul Rahman.
• 
He acknowledges the confrontation, but suggests the commander exaggerated his injuries — and argues that not only the boy's safety but American lives were at stake that day. 
• 
Martland said the Afghan Local Police had been "committing atrocities," raising concerns that many locals viewed them as "worse than the Taliban"...
• 
"While I understand that a military lawyer can say that I was legally wrong, we felt a moral obligation to act."
• 
... an interpreter first came to them saying a boy claimed he was "tied to a post in Rahman's house and was raped repeatedly for 10 days to 2 weeks." When his mother tried to stop it, he said, "Rahman instructed his brother to beat her; which he did."
• 
... Quinn got a "first-hand confession" but "the child rapist laughed it off and referenced that it was only a boy."
• 
That's when the confrontation turned physical. 
• 
"Captain Quinn picked him up and threw him," Martland said.  "I [proceeded to] body slam him multiple times."
• 
"I kicked him once in his ribcage after one of the body slams.  I put my foot on his neck and yelled at him after one body slam, but did not kick or punch him in the face.  I continued to body slam him and throw him for fifty meters until he was outside the camp."

An inmate who escaped from a high-rise federal jail in Chicago has an unusual theory on who's to blame: He says the government was negligent in enabling the breakout, so he sued for $10 million for damages.
• 
"No one has a personal right to be better guarded or more securely restrained, so as to be unable to commit a crime."

• 
His suit says guards should have noticed the two were chiseling an escape hole in their cell and should have stopped them long before they fled.
• 
The suit also claims Banks has suffered "damage to his reputation," as well as "humiliation and embarrassment," and what Banks calls "injury" to his "spiritual constitution."

• 
Imagine for a moment that you are serving in the U.S.  Army and deployed to Afghanistan, and on your base there is clear evidence that child rape and other human rights violations are occurring at the hands of local Afghan police commanders and military officials.
• 
You have already reported the crimes and nothing has been done.  Now you are standing face to face with a self-admitted child rapist and he's laughing in your face — telling you to get lost. 
• 
What do you do? 
• 
In 2011, Quinn and Martland received reports that an Afghan woman was severely beaten by an Afghan commander when she went looking for her son.  Turned out her son had been kidnapped, chained to a bed and repeatedly raped by that same Afghan commander. 
• 
So Quinn and Martland confronted the commander.  He laughed in their face, told them he would not stop, and suggested they find something else to do with their time. 
• 
So Quinn picked up the commander and threw him on the ground.  Martland did the same.
• 
In doing so, they conveyed to the commander, loud and clear, that the abuse of children — especially in the presence of U.S.  forces — won't be tolerated. 
• 
In a single confrontation, Quinn and Martland were able to do what the Afghan justice system and our own military commanders could not.  They sent a message in a language and terms he could understand and wouldn't forget. 
• 
For doing the right thing, Quinn was immediately removed from the front line and shown the door by the Army. 
• 
Martland was also relieved from the same outpost, but he is now fighting to save his Army career after 11 years.  Because of his actions, Martland was reprimanded by the Army...

There is no policy that requires our soldiers to look the other way, but, clearly, the fact that Quinn, Martland, and others have been punished for intervening in such cases of abuse shows exactly how our military leadership has decided to handle these cases.

• 
... the Army is under scrutiny for moving to kick out Green Beret Sgt.  1st Class Charles Martland, after he got in trouble for shoving an Afghan police commander accused of raping a boy.
• 
... American soldiers were told to ignore such sexual abuse, even in cases where Afghan allies were abusing boys on military bases.

      Kentucky clerk Kim Davis could head back to court over marriage licenses  (Fox 09/22/2015)
• 
When she returned to work last week, she confiscated the marriage licenses and replaced them.  The new licenses say they were issued not under the authority of the county clerk, but "pursuant to federal court order." Davis said this accommodation preserves her conscience while also granting licenses to same-sex couples.
• 
But on Monday, lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union wrote that the validity of the altered licenses is "questionable at best," and that the new licenses bring "humiliation and stigma" to the gay couples who receive them.
• 
"The adulterated marriage licenses received by Rowan County couples will effectively feature a stamp of animus against the LGBT community, signaling that, in Rowan County, the government's position is that LGBT couples are second-class citizens unworthy of official recognition and authorization of their marriage licenses but for this Court's intervention and Order."
• 
"Kim Davis has made a good-faith effort to comply with the court's order.  The ACLU's motion to again hold Kim Davis in contempt reveals that their interest is not the license but rather a marriage license bearing the name of Kim Davis.  They want her scalp to hang on the wall as a trophy."
      Bad timing?  Experts skeptical of ‘cool clock’ that led to Texas boy’s arrest  (Fox 09/21/2015)
• 
Texas high school freshman Ahmed Mohamed's clock – which led to his arrest last week after a teacher mistook it for a bomb – earned him a White House invite and praise from around the world, but critics who looked closely at the device question whether it was much of an engineering feat.
• 
The project, not part of his regular assignment, was made just to "impress" his teacher, according to 14-year-old Ahmed, while detractors say that the clock may be a disassembled Radio Shack model stuffed into a metal box.
• 
"Assembling clock from bought components is fine.  Taking clock out of its case to make it look as if he built it is not fine.  Which is true?"
• 
... describes the device as a 1980s digital alarm clock sold by Radio Shack.  The printed circuit board, it said, suggests an electronics product built in the mid-to-late 1970s.  The apparently silk screened letters and numbers on the board also indicate a mass-produced product.
• 
In addition to President Obama, who complimented Ahmed on his clock and invited him to the White House, Hillary Clinton also tweeted her support for the teen.
• 
"Cool clock, Ahmed.  Want to bring it to the White House?  We should inspire more kids like you to like science.  It's what makes America great."
• 
"Assumptions and fear don't keep us safe — they hold us back.  Ahmed, stay curious and keep building.  "
• 
The publicity surrounding the clock, and Ahmed's arrest for allegedly making a hoax bomb (the charges were dropped) also garnered him an entry in Google's annual science fair and praise from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.  "Ahmed, if you ever want to come by Facebook, I'd love to meet you.  Keep building."

• 
John Kasich, was asked whether he would have a problem with a Muslim in the White House. 
• 
"The answer is, at the end of the day, you've got to go through the rigors, and people will look at everything.  But, for me, the most important thing about being president is you have leadership skills, you know what you're doing and you can help fix this country and raise this country.  Those are the qualifications that matter to me."

      US reportedly may abstain from UN vote condemning Cuba embargo  (Fox 09/21/2015)
• 
For the first time, the United States may be willing to accept a United Nations condemnation of the U.S.  trade embargo against Cuba without a fight.
• 
It is unheard of for a U.N.  member state not to oppose resolutions critical of its own laws.
• 
And by not actively opposing the resolution, the administration would be effectively siding with the world body against Congress, which has refused to repeal the embargo despite calls from President Barack Obama to do so.
• 
The Cuban government said Castro "emphasized the need to expand their scope and abrogate, once and for all, the blockade policy for the benefit of both peoples."
• 
The United States has lost each vote by increasing margins.  Last year's tally was 188-2 in favor of Cuba with only Israel siding with the U.S.  This year's vote will be the first since the U.S.  shift in policy toward Cuba.
• 
And in Congress, where top GOP lawmakers have refused to entertain legislation that would end the embargo, any administration action perceived as endorsing U.N.  criticism of the United States could provoke anger — even among supporters of the administration's position.

The Obama administration has signaled it may intervene next week in a civil lawsuit in which 11 American families won a potential billion-dollar judgment from the Palestinian leadership over a series of bombings and shootings that killed or wounded dozens of U.S.  citizens, a move that critics say would find the government siding with terrorists over its own citizens.
• 
... jury found the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority were responsible for a string of attacks from 2001 to 2004 that killed 33 and injured hundreds.
• 
"An administration which claims to be fighting terror is planning to weigh in favor of the terrorists."
• 
"If our government actually came in favor of convicted terrorists, it would be a really sorry statement about the way our government treats terror."
• 
"Palestine is not a state, and is therefore, not entitled to be treated like a state.  It does not enjoy sovereign immunity and it would be wrong for the United States government to argue otherwise in federal court."
• 
"This could be the end of the Palestinian Authority."
• 
... the PLO and Palestinian Authority pays stipends to the very terrorists and their families who carried out the attacks.
• 
"The U.S.  government and the DOJ should be ashamed that they are even considering telling an American court that the PLO and the PA can afford to pay convicted terrorists, but cannot afford to pay the victims of those very same terrorists."

      Atheists demand Navy chaplain.  Should they get one?  (Fox 07/09/2015)
• 
Did you hear the joke about the atheists who claimed to be religious?  Well, it's not a joke, it's a lawsuit.
• 
On June 22, an avowed secular atheist and member of the Humanist Society, stood in court and — with a straight face — asked to have his group recognized as a religious organization so he could serve as a Navy chaplain.
• 
What the court didn't hear is that the Humanist Society is part of the American Humanist Association, a militant atheist organization that publicly mocks all religious belief and even aligns with others who accuse chaplains of being "spiritual rapists."
• 
Like James Madison, we agree that the "full and equal rights of conscience" should apply to people of all religious traditions and to those of no tradition at all.
• 
That's why we have opposed state laws barring atheists from public office and why we defend unequivocally the right of atheists to speak their mind and participate fully in public life without government repercussion.
• 
However, we also know that religion is religion and that secular atheism is not.  In fact, secular atheism by definition is the rejection of religion.
• 
And sometimes it's important to defend what words really mean.  These atheist organizations want "religion" to mean "anything that contributes to human fulfillment."
• 
If religion is redefined to include anything, including secular atheism, it really means nothing, and that is bad for religious freedom for everyone.
• 
For soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who need it, chaplains perform religious services, pray on the battlefield, ensure access to religious scripture, and provide religious comfort to the men and women in the field and to their families back at home.
• 
These atheist litigants cannot do that.  The mission of the Humanist Society and American Humanist Association is to support atheism, not religion.
• 
In the end, it comes to this: a soldier dying on the battlefield deserves to know that the chaplain coming to his aid respects his religious beliefs, not mocks and belittles them.

      Can Kate Steinle's family sue San Francisco over its sanctuary city policy?  (Fox 07/10/2015)
• 
Looking for justice?  Move to Mexico.  When it comes to looking to the U.S.  courts for protection, you may have a better chance if you're from south of the border.
• 
Lopez-Sanchez would have been deported but for the fact that San Francisco is a "sanctuary city," which is why officials there chose to release him and ignore an ICE detainer.  This effectively put him back on the street.  And yet, if Steinle's family tries to sue the city for this travesty, it may be thrown out of court.
• 
You read that right.  The teen was Mexican, shot in Mexico, and the judge still ruled that his mother may sue the Border Patrol agent.
• 
The ACLU attorney on the case applauded this ruling, saying, "The court was right to recognize that constitutional protections don't stop at the border."
• 
Perhaps they begin there.  If Kate Steinle's family cannot use our laws to get justice in her name, and yet the family of this Mexican teen can, the immigration debate has truly become the twilight zone.
• 
Anthony Bologna and his two sons were murdered by Edwin Ramos, a Salvadoran.  Bologna's wife sued the city of San Francisco over the sanctuary policy in place at the time, and the appeals court unanimously agreed that the case did not fall under a legal exception allowing such lawsuits against governmental entities.
• 
If a Mexican mother can sue a Border Patrol agent for doing his job, then certainly the family of a slain American should be able to sue the City of San Francisco and its officials for not doing theirs.

      Oregon allowing 15-year-olds to get state-subsidized sex-change operations  (Fox 07/09/2015)
• 
The list of things 15-year-olds are not legally allowed to do in Oregon is long: Drive, smoke, donate blood, get a tattoo — even go to a tanning bed. 
• 
But, under a first-in-the-nation policy quietly enacted in January that many parents are only now finding out about, 15-year-olds are now allowed to get a sex-change operation.  Many residents are stunned to learn they can do it without parental notification — and the state will even pay for it through its Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan.
• 
"It is trespassing on the hearts, the minds, the bodies of our children.  They're our children.  And for a decision, a life-altering decision like that to be done unbeknownst to a parent or guardian, it's mindboggling."
• 
... said Oregon's policy amounts to child abuse.  "We have a very radical and even mutilating treatment being offered to children without any evidence that the long-term outcome of this would be good."
• 
"To know that taxpayers are now on the hook for that, that a child can do that without their parent's knowledge or information or consent, parents have absolutely no say, that's appalling."

      First Church of Cannabis sues over marijuana laws  (Fox 07/09/2015)
• 
A pot-smoking church sued the city of Indianapolis and state of Indiana on Wednesday, claiming laws against possession and use of marijuana infringe on its religious beliefs.
• 
The lawsuit claims church members believe marijuana is a sacrament that "brings us closer to ourselves and others.  It is our fountain of health, our love, curing us from illness and depression.  We embrace it with our whole heart and spirit, individually and as a group."
• 
"We are taking legal action today to ensure love has no barriers in our land."
• 
"Today we invite the state of Indiana and all its leaders to joyfully meet us in a court of law for clarifications on our core religious values.  We look forward to engaging them on the high plane of dignity and discipline, with love and compassion in our hearts, to find a swift and sensible answer for our questions of religious equality."
• 
Levin said the church has more than 1,000 members and is built "on the cornerstone of love, compassion and good health" and isn't just a place for its members to get high.

The murder of a young woman in San Francisco allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant has brought renewed scrutiny on the sheriff who released the defendant before the attack and has ardently backed policies making the city a "sanctuary" for undocumented immigrants.

As a board supervisor from 2005 to 2011, Mirkarimi also proposed legislation to make San Francisco the first city in the country to sell marijuana.  And he introduced legislation that ultimately made the city the first in the country to prohibit large supermarkets and drug stores from providing customers with non-biodegradable plastic bags.

      Micro-totalitarianism  (JWR 06/16/2015)
• 
The concept of "micro-aggression" is just one of many tactics used to stifle differences of opinion by declaring some opinions to be "hate speech," instead of debating those differences in a marketplace of ideas.
• 
To accuse people of aggression for not marching in lockstep with political correctness is to set the stage for justifying real aggression against them.
• 
France's Jean-Paul Sartre has been credited — if that is the word — with calling social conditions he didn't like "violence," as a prelude to justifying real violence as a response to those conditions.
• 
Word games are just one of the ways of silencing politically incorrect ideas, instead of debating them.
• 
In a sense, the political left's attempts to silence ideas they cannot, or will not, debate are a confession of intellectual bankruptcy.  But this is just one of the left's ever-increasing restrictions on other people's freedom to live their lives as they see fit, rather than as their betters tell them.
• 
The left is not necessarily aiming at totalitarianism.  But their know-it-all mindset leads repeatedly and pervasively in that direction, even if by small steps, each of which might be called "micro-totalitarianism."

"It's so bad, people are afraid to let their kids outside.  People wake up with shots through their windows.  Police used to sit on every corner, on the top of the block.  These days?  They're nowhere."
• 
"I haven't seen the police since the riots.  People feel as though they can do things and get away with it.  I see people walking with guns almost every single day, because they know the police aren't pulling them up like they used to."
• 
"Our officers tell me that when officers pull up, they have 30 to 50 people surrounding them at any time."
• 
"What is happening, there is a lot of levels of confusion in the police organization.  There are people who have pain, there are people who are hurt, there are people who are frustrated, there are people who are angry."
• 
"Usually, you can't walk up and down the street drinking or smoking weed.  Now, people are everywhere smoking weed, and police just ride by, look at you, and keep going.  There used to be police on every corner.  I don't think they'll be back this summer."
      Barack Obama: America's first Jewish president?  (Fox 05/27/2015)
• 
"The rights of the Jewish people [to have a state] then compel me to think about a Palestinian child in Ramallah that [sic] feels trapped without opportunity.  That's what Jewish values teach me."
• 
There are some Jews who agree.  But they constitute a small minority in Israel.  Most Israelis do not see creating a PLO-Hamas regime within a few miles of Tel Aviv as a Jewish value — certainly not one that trumps national security and common sense.
• 
It will likely remain the prevailing sentiment as long Hamas and the Palestinian grassroots regard the Jewish state as illegitimate, and the international jihad sees Israel as a strategic target. 
• 
Obama is clearly vexed by the failure of Israelis to live up to his high expectations of them or to appreciate the deep love that his incessant criticism expresses.
• 
Instead, he gets stuck with Bibi Netanyahu.  And what does he know about Jewish values?

      Marine court-martialed for refusing to remove Bible verse  (Fox 05/26/2015)
• 
"The implication is clear – the junior Marine sharing the desk and the other Marines coming to the desk for assistance would be exposed to biblical quotations in the military workplace.  It is not hard to imagine the divisive impact to good order and discipline that may result when a service member is compelled to work at a government desk festooned with religious quotations."
• 
"Maintaining discipline and morale in the military work center could very well require that the work center remain relatively free of divisive or contentious issues such as personal beliefs, religion, politics, etc."
• 
"This is a very scary time when you are not allowed to have a very small printed Bible verse in your own personal workspace because it might offend other Marines.  Our Marines are trained to deal with some of the most hostile people on the planet.  I don't think they are afraid of tiny words on a tiny piece of paper."

      Bin Laden's bookshelf stuffed with anti-American, conspiracy works by lefty US authors  (Fox 05/21/2015)
• 
The English-language bookshelf in Usama bin Laden's personal library featured a collection of anti-U.S.  polemics and left-wing conspiracy theories from some celebrated darlings of American academia...
• 
"Bin Laden's bookshelf showed a generous tolerance for bad prose and an undergraduate's faith in bad ideas."
• 
"With his career as a master terrorist in decline, he would have made a popular Ivy League professor: a great opportunity missed."
• 
Noam Chomsky, William Blum and Bob Woodward appeared to be among the terrorist kingpin's favorite authors to curl up with.
• 
Chomsky, the liberal icon and MIT professor known for his disparaging view of the U.S., had two of his works in the Bin Laden collection, "Necessary Illusions: Thought Control in Democratic Societies" and "Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance."
• 
Blum's "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower" and "Killing Hope: U.S.  Military and CIA Interventions since World War II" were recovered from Bin Laden's compound.
• 
Bin Laden had already endorsed "Killing Hope," recommending in a 2006 audiotape that all Americans read the book.  Blum was "amused" with the endorsement, quipping that it was "almost as good as being an Oprah book." Indeed, the then-six-year-old book shot up to No.  30 on Amazon.com's best seller list by the next day.
• 
"I knew it would help the book's sales and I was not bothered by who it was coming from," Blum told Reuters at the time.  "If he shares with me a deep dislike for certain aspects of U.S.  foreign policy, then I'm not going to spurn any endorsement of the book by him."
• 
"Based on the bookshelf list, I don't think Usama bin Laden's reading habits could be classified as left-wing.  It's more diverse than that, and not nearly as ideological in its anti-Westernism as you would find in many U.S.  college social science courses."
• 
The documents also included a "modern and extensive" pornography collection...
• 
One other interesting title in Bin Laden's English-language library was "A Brief Guide to Understanding Islam," by I.  A.  Ibrahim.

• 
"These ten legislators voted today against freedom and against two-thirds of Louisianans who support the Marriage and Conscience Act.  This is a failure of leadership and goes to the heart of what's wrong with American politics today."
• 
"These elected leaders effectively endorsed government discrimination against individuals and nonprofits simply for believing in marriage between a man and a woman."
• 
Among those strong-arming the bill was IBM – which is building a technology jobs center in Baton Rouge.  An IBM executive penned a letter to The Times-Picayune warning that "IBM will find it much harder to attract talent to Louisiana if this bill is passed and enacted into law."
• 
"I have a clear message for any corporation that contemplates bullying our state: save your breath."
• 
"As a nation we would not compel a priest, minister or rabbi to violate his conscience and perform a same-sex wedding ceremony.  But a great many Americans who are not members of the clergy feel just as called to live their faith through their businesses.  That's why we should ensure that musicians, caterers, photographers and others should be immune from government coercion on deeply held religious convictions."

• 
"I am pleased to inform you that today we control 20 percent of uranium in the United States.  If we need that uranium, we shall be able to use it any time."
• 
In return for facilitating the transfer to Putin of one-fifth of US uranium, the Clintons were given tens of millions of dollars by Vancouver businessman Frank Giustra (the founder of "Uranium One" in its pre-Putin days) and various of his associates.
•

      Baltimore flip-flop: When did ‘thugs’ become a radioactive word?  (Fox 05/01/2015)
• 
Why on earth are we having a debate about the word "thugs"?
• 
Isn't that an utterly appropriate term for people who set police cars and buildings ablaze, loot burning stores and capitalize on an unfortunate death by destroying a community? 
• 
And given the seriousness of the issues raised by the Baltimore riots, how did this become a linguistic discussion?
• 
President Obama complained about the "thugs" who rampaged in Baltimore after Freddie Gray's death in police custody.
• 
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake complained about "thugs" as well — and was careful to spell out who she meant. 
• 
But the mayor, whose performance in this crisis might generously be described as erratic, took it back a day later.
• 
"There are no thugs in Baltimore," Rawlings-Blake declared.  "Sometimes my own little anger translator gets the best of me."
• 
Non-anger translation: I took heat from the black community so I'm now disavowing my own words.
• 
Excuse me, but when did "thugs" become a racial term?  There are lots of white thugs out there.  Anyone who engages in thuggish behavior deserves the label.

He blew up an eight-year-old boy.  A police officer is dead.  People lost their legs.  But the intellectual imbeciles at The Globe say that's not a good reason to take his life.  They say killing Tsarnaev would "substitute vengeance for justice and risk letting him become a martyr."

      Students Force University to Cancel Screening of 'American Sniper'  (Fox 04/08/2015)
• 
Muslim, Middle Eastern and North African students at the University of Michigan were successful in their mission to cancel a campus screening of "American Sniper" – claiming the film promotes anti-Muslim rhetoric and made them feel unsafe.
• 
... several hundred students and their supporters filed a protest – attacking both the film and Chris Kyle.
• 
"We deeply regret causing harm to members of our community and appreciate the thoughtful feedback provided to us by students and staff alike."
• 
"While our intent was to show a film, the impact of the content was harmful, and made students feel unsafe and unwelcome at our program."
• 
The MENA students continued on about the university "perpetrating these negative and misleading stereotypes" by showing "American Sniper." They said the film has "contributed to a culture of Islamophobia in America."
• 
While we're on the subject of perpetrating negative stereotypes – what about the Islamists who attacked the Boston Marathon or the Islamist who committed jihad at Fort Hood or the Islamist who tried to blow upa plane with a bomb in his underpants?
• 
With all due respect to the Muslim Student Association – you do not have a Constitutional right not to be offended by a film or a column or anything else for that matter.
• 
By the way — you know what makes me feel unsafe?  Islamic jihadists beheading people and blowing up churches and flying jetliners into buildings and slaughtering Christian college students — that's what makes me feel unsafe.
• 
On the other hand, Americans like Chris Kyle make me feel safe.  He was a man who was willing to put his life on the line to protect our nation – our freedom.  He was a hero — a patriot — a fellow countryman.

• 
"What is a more relevant fear would be that in Year 13, 14, 15, they have advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium fairly rapidly, and at that point, the breakout times would have shrunk almost down to zero."
• 
The stark admission — after his energy secretary even claimed the deal was a "forever agreement" — came as the president seeks to quiet a growing chorus questioning whether the deal he and world leaders have negotiated merely delays the certainty of a nuclear-armed Iran.
• 
"I think there are hard-liners inside of Iran that think it is the right thing to do to oppose us, to seek to destroy Israel, to cause havoc in places like Syria or Yemen or Lebanon.  If they don't change at all, we're still better off having the deal."
• 
"The notion that we would condition Iran not getting nuclear weapons in a verifiable deal on Iran recognizing Israel is really akin to saying that we won't sign a deal unless the nature of the Iranian regime completely transforms.  And that is, I think, a fundamental misjudgment."

      Obama, Congress on collision course over Iran nuke deal  (Fox 04/06/2015)
• 
Obama said the newly agreed framework of a nuclear deal with Iran represented a "once in a lifetime opportunity" to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and move toward stabilizing the Middle East.
• 
"I've been very clear that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on my watch, and I think they should understand that we mean it."
• 
"But I say that hoping that we can conclude this diplomatic arrangement — and that it ushers a new era in U.S.-Iranian relations - and, just as importantly, over time, a new era in Iranian relations with its neighbors."
• 
But he said the concessions Khamenei allowed his negotiators to make in the nuclear talks suggests that "he does realize that the sanctions regime that we put together was weakening Iran over the long term, and that if in fact he wanted to see Iran re-enter the community of nations, then there were going to have to be changes."

      It's All the Fault of Bush  (INN 03/29/2015)
• 
The White House' below-par golfer refused to meet the Prime Minister while he was in the United States because it would be interfering in the Israeli elections.  The famous community organizer didn't want the perception of favoritism towards Netanyahu against his opponent, Buzi Herzog, that might influence Israeli voters one way or the other.  To do that would be meddling.  Fair?
• 
It seems that the White House occupant, who was so careful not to intervene in Israel's elections, actually intervened, interfered, meddled and tried to influence the Israeli elections.
• 
The famous Chicago community organizer organized quite a substantial organization tasked with the goal of overthrowing the Prime Minister of Israel, the most trusted and reliable ally the United States has in the Middle East.
• 
Three-hundred-and-fifty-thousand dollars ($350,000) were given to a newly formed organization going by the name V15 – Victory in 2015 - specifically created to meddle, interfere and sway the election in Obama's direction.
• 
During the campaign, Prime Minister Netanyahu indicated that the two-state solution is no longer viable (it never was) and that such a terrorist state will not rise on his watch.
• 
You might think that everything else in the world's diplomatic field is going extremely well for him and this would mar his unblemished record.
• 
Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Yemen, Russia, Ukraine, ISIS and more have all been firmly ensconced in the impeccable Obama political strategy.
• 
How could Netanyahu dare to crack that mosaic?  How dare he abort the road to Israel's national suicide?  Here he was on the sure path for another unmerited Noble Peace Prize and Bibi was spoiling it all!
• 
So now that Prime Minister Netanyahu crushed the Obama plan, revenge is on the way both for having the audacity to win and for having the guts to speak up against the obscenity of creating another terrorist entity on Israel's border.
• 
Barak Hussein Obama cannot and will not ‘get over the tantrum' – as John Mc'Cain said.  He will now go all out on behalf of the terrorist PA and attempt to force Israel to commit suicide.  This in addition to cuddling and fawning over the rogue nation of Iran.
• 
The frontal attack to punish Netanyahu for burying the ill-conceived ugly concept of a terrorist Palestinian state, is a totally see-through attempt to deflect the growing criticism of the intervention in Israel's politics.  He hopes that his hysterical antics will overshadow the investigation into possible illegal funding by the White House.
• 
Dozens of times, ever since Obama was elected chief-golfer, we heard him and his deft lackeys repeat the same mantra: "We have Israel's back."
• 
‘We have Israel's back' means that the US will stand behind Israel and kick it off the cliff.  This was his strategy from the moment he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia and it is now coming into fruition.
• 
In defense of Barack Hussein Obama: it must be really, really President Bush's fault.  Really.
      Hatred of Israel on US Liberal Campuses  (INN 03/29/2015)
• 
Anti-Semitism flourishes like a poisonous plant in the Ivy League colleges, the laboratories of "equal opportunlty"...
• 
... phrases such as "Death to Israel" and "Kill all Jews" appeared on the walls of Berkeley.  More recently, it was the turn of "The Zionists should be sent to the gas chambers."
• 
The godmother of Berkeley's campaign against Israel is Professor Judith Butler, who invented the "gender studies" so popular today in Europe.  Butler came under fire for an interview in which she denounced the memorials for the victims of 9/11.
• 
At Evergreen State University, former professors of Corrie, at graduation ceremonies, wear khaki pants and a keffiyeh, in tribute to their former student.
• 
Heading the list is Columbia University.  "How many Palestinians have you killed?" asked Professor Joseph Massad of an Israeli student.
• 
And professor George Shaliba said to a Jewish girl that she could not claim rights on Palestine because she hadn't eyes that were Semitic enough.
• 
Columbia is the University of Rashid Khalidi, director of the Middle East Institute there, who called "legitimate resistance" suicide terrorism against Israel and the Israeli army "a weapon of mass destruction."
• 
Berkeley taught a course on "Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance", while at Yale the Initiative for Interdisciplinary Study of Anti-Semitism, the first academic center in the world completely devoted to the study of anti-Semitism, lasted just four years.  It was closed due to charges of "subservience to Israel", the pressure of Palestinian ambassadors in the United States, political correctness — and lavish donations from Arab countries.
• 
There was no controversy, however, when the students of the Jackson Center for Global Affairs at Yale were brought by their lecturers to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he was visiting New York at the UN (at that time the Iranian leader again denied the Holocaust).
• 
The American Studies Association has joined the international campaign to boycott Israeli universities.  It comes from Harvard, home to Professor Stephen Walt, one of the authors of "Israel Lobby", the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as applied to Israel.
• 
Funds that come from Islamic countries manipulate the nature of Middle East Studies.  Just scroll through the list of donations from Arab Gulf states since 1995: Boston University ($1.5 million), Columbia University ($500,000), George Washington University ($12 million), Georgetown University ($16 million), Harvard ($12 million), MIT ($10 million), University of Arkansas ($18 million).

The last time — in fact, the only time — the United States so nakedly threatened Israel was in 1956, when President Eisenhower ordered Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula.

Ben-Gurion swallowed hard and complied.  Israel was a new, weak nation, the U.S.  was the world's supreme superpower and Ike was Ike, an international leader of unquestioned authority.

None of that applies today.  Israel is neither new nor inexperienced.  It is not, as Menachem Begin once informed Jimmy Carter, a banana republic or an American vassal.
• 
President Obama's lack of credibility is also a problem.  Time after time — in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Afghanistan and Yemen — the administration has made amateurish and sometimes delusional misjudgments.

      The New York Times Rescues the Palestinians Once Again  (INN 01/11/2015)
• 
Lest anyone think, even for a moment, that there is even the slightest link between Islamic terror against Jews in Paris and Islamic terror against Jews in Jerusalem, the New York Times has rushed in to disabuse us of that notion.
• 
And what Israeli "policies" can be blamed for the "vehicular, knife and shooting attacks" by Palestinians against Jews in Jerusalem?  Was there a policy that caused a Palestinian terrorist to drive his car into a crowd at a train station, murdering a three month old infant?  Was there a policy that caused Palestinian killers to massacre rabbis at prayer in a synagogue?

• 
"I stopped calling these people Muslim terrorists.  They're about as Muslim as I am.  I mean, they have no respect for anybody else's life, that's not what the Koran says."
• 
In September, Secretary of State John Kerry insisted during a congressional hearing that the Islamic State does "not represent Islam."
• 
He called them a "militant cult masquerading as a religious movement." After using the phrase "Islamic radical groups," he immediately corrected himself.  "Islamic is the wrong word — radical religious extremists," he clarified.
• 
While Obama and top officials in his administration referred to the Paris attack Wednesday as terrorism, they generally did not use the term Islamic terrorism.
• 
"The bottom line here, these are Islamic terrorist attacks and need to be called as such."

In 2011, when the paper's offices were destroyed in a firebombing after the publication of a cartoon the prophet Muhammad vowing "100 lashes if you don't die laughing!", Time magazine scolded Charlie Hebdo:
• 
"Okay, so can we finally stop with the idiotic, divisive, and destructive efforts by ‘majority sections' of Western nations to bait Muslim members with petulant, futile demonstrations that ‘they' aren't going to tell ‘us' what can and can't be done in free societies?  Because not only are such Islamophobic antics futile and childish, but they also openly beg for the very violent responses from extremists their authors claim to proudly defy in the name of common good.  What common good is served by creating more division and anger, and by tempting belligerent reaction?"
      ObamaCare 2015: Harvard faculty outraged over health care hikes  (Fox 01/06/2015)
• 
The New York Times is feasting on the delicious uproar created by Harvard professors who are now outraged to be hit with higher health care costs as a result of ObamaCare.
• 
Say what??  Who could have predicted that?  Anyone who can do math.
• 
One French history professor gasps without a hint of irony that rising premiums are tantamount to a pay cut!  Welcome to our world.
• 
I would bet the faculty just didn't believe they would have to foot the bill.  Costs may rise, but they would somehow be absorbed in the system.  Donors, someone...  someone else, that is...  would pay.
• 
And that is, in fact, one of the main problems in American politics.  We all want life to be better for everyone.  Who wouldn't want all of their fellow Americans, or all of humanity for that matter, to have good health care?  But are you willing to personally take a pay cut to pay for the policy you are advocating?

      Who Had the Worst Year?  (JWR 01/02/2015)
• 
But let's imagine that Gruber was right — that legalizing abortion eliminated a big cohort of the criminal element and led to a drop in crime.  Did every one of those aborted criminals merit the death penalty?  The car thieves?  The embezzlers?  Did each one deserve a pre-emptive death penalty?  Before trial?  Before the crime itself?  Oddly, progressives tend to oppose harsh punishments for convicted criminals while quietly celebrating the ultimate penalty for those too young to have committed any offense.
• 
Gruber's thesis that abortion caused America's crime drop is almost certainly false.  But what's more revealing is the casual readiness to calculate lost lives as so many numbers on a balance sheet.  If it makes you uncomfortable that such a person helped design Obamacare, you're not alone.

The upshot was that the aggrieved students wanted the administration to offer them a collective pacifier.  "We call," the letter thundered, "for faculty to hold special office hours and for the administration to make culturally competent grief and trauma counselors available in the final weeks of the semester." It demanded more conversations about injustice "in safe spaces created by the administration." And it expected students to be permitted to delay their exams — because what are the exertions of studying compared with satisfactions of wallowing in a precious self-pity?

From Ferguson, Missouri to New York City, when the marchers howl for "justice" it is with the blood-curdling voice of savages.  They are not subtle.  Every cop "has it coming" and so does 11-year-old Ayala Shapira who is fighting for her life in an Israeli hospital as the result of a firebomb attack from the hands of Arab terrorists.
• 
But here's the bright side.  With cops as fellow targets we are in good company.  For once, Jews are not alone.

Professors said that music notation has not "shaken off its connection to its colonial past" and that sticking with it would be a "slap in the face" for students of color...

The same faculty also reportedly questioned whether the current curriculum was complicit in "white supremacy," pointing to the program's focus on "white European music from the slave period" – composers like Mozart and Beethoven.
• 
The professors further suggested that certain classical music skills – like playing the piano and conducting orchestral arrangements – ought not to be required given that they "structurally center white European music" and cause "students of color great distress."
• 
The faculty members said the curriculum should broaden its music offerings with studies like "African and African Diasporic Musics," "Global Musics," and "Popular Musics."

Oxford's music curriculum already offers non-Eurocentric course options, but the professors who proposed these changes said the school's nearly "all-white faculty" gives "privilege to white musicians" by default.

A few days ago the British Museum, the cultural institution that has done the most to bring together under one roof the largest number of ancient finds (from the Rosetta stone to the Parthenon friezes, even if many were stolen from their rightful owners), eliminated the bust of its founder, Sir Hans Sloane, guilty of ties to slavery, in homage to Black Lives Matter.
• 
The same fate could now happen to the statue of Charles Darwin in the main hall of the Natural History Museum in London.
• 
The naturalist, known for progressive ideas for the time on child rearing, slavery, racism and the exploitation of child labor, in reality was a "racist" and his work is associated with and compromised in the empire.

"So, I think this is a time for a ‘Great Reset,'" Gore said.

      Maxine Waters' phone call with 'Greta Thunberg' was apparently the work of Russian pranksters  (Fox 01/04/2020)
• 
Rep.  Maxine Waters, D-Calif., appeared to have been tricked by Russian pranksters into thinking she was speaking on the phone with Greta Thunberg and that the teenage climate activist had dirt on President Trump.
• 
The conversation began with "Thunberg" telling Waters that she was calling from a climate strike meeting in North Carolina where they were advocating for the protection of the fictitious "Chon-Go-Chango" islands.
• 
"It was a really terrible meeting in the U.N.  building in September with him.  And I had nightmares afterwards.  It's terrible," the Thunberg impersonator told Waters.
• 
"I saw him in the hallway.  He was with security and I shouted at him, 'Sign the Paris Climate Agreement again!' He came over, he leaned in towards me, and said softly, 'Listen carefully to me, little girl.  You will never achieve your goal, like the congressional goal, trying to accuse me.'"
• 
"He said you will never achieve your goal?  Oh my goodness." Waters said with shock.
• 
"Did you ask him if he would rethink signing the Paris Climate Agreement?  Is that your question to him?"
• 
"Yes, yes," the impersonator said.  "He added that ... 'You know what?  I'll tell you the truth.  I really wanted to push the Ukraine president to put my competitor on trial.'"
• 
Her supposed "father" chimed in.
• 
"He said to her, 'You know, little girl, nobody believe you anyway, I will tell you the truth.  I really pushed on Ukrainian president and you know that you will never achieve your goals like those congressional fools who accuse me," the fictional parent told Waters.
• 
"So nobody will believe you.  You will be on trial like my competitor."
• 
"Oh, my God!  He mentioned Ukrainian president?" Waters asked.
• 
"Yes, he said that," the prankster responded.  "And he added, 'Nobody will believe you anyway.'"
• 
The prankster also alleged that his "daughter" always records her speeches and had a recording of her exchange with Trump.
• 
"Are you going to be in Washington anytime soon?  I want you to come meet with me in Washington," Waters said.
• 
The "father" suggested that Congress continue with the president's impeachment and offered that the activist can make a speech on Capitol Hill, something Waters expressed interest in.
• 
"We are working very hard.  We are putting together the facts and we're going after him," Waters told the "Thunbergs."
• 
"We're going to try everything that we have to impeach him.  Yes.  And if the public knew that he talked to Greta like that, he made her cry, and told her she would never achieve, this would go against him too."
• 
"And he added that he pushed on the Ukrainian president," the prankster father reiterated.  "I think he didn't expect that we have a record of that."
• 
"Well, you bring it to me," Waters responded.  "You tell me what day you can get there and we'll arrange to meet with you as quickly as we can.  ... I will make myself available whenever you get there."

•

• 
"Due to the toilet being plumbed into the building, this has caused significant damage and flooding."
• 
"The artwork has not been recovered at this time but we are conducting a thorough investigation to find it and bring those responsible to justice."
• 
The golden john actually performs its necessary bathroom functions and was part of an exhibit by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan titled "Victory is Not an Option" that opened at Blenheim Palace...
• 
It had been built in a wood chamber opposite the room in which Churchill was born.
• 
Those visiting Blenheim Palace were normally given three minutes alone with the toilet to take it on a test drive.
• 
Guardian art critic Jonathan Jones had described the experience of using the lavatory as "peeing on porcelain."
• 
The toilet was on display at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2016 and was scheduled to be open to the public at Blenheim during a seven-week exhibition from Sept.  12 to Oct.  27.
• 
Before the toilet was installed, Edward Spencer-Churchill, the founder of the Blenheim Art Foundation, was confident it wouldn't be easily stolen.
• 
"Firstly, it's plumbed in and secondly, a potential thief will have no idea who last used the toilet or what they ate," he told the Times.  "So no, I don't plan to be guarding it."
• 
The palace is the main residence of the Dukes of Marlborough and was built in the early 1700s.
• 
"We are saddened by this extraordinary event, but also relieved no one was hurt."
•

• 
"Trump tells me I should be happy Rashida is not coming.  May God ruin him."
• 
On Friday, following Israel's announcement on Thursday that Democratic Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib will be barred from entering Israel due to their support of BDS, Tlaib sent a request to Israel's Ministry of Interior to visit her "Palestinian" grandmother on humanitarian grounds on Thursday night.
• 
"I would like to request admittance to Israel in order to visit my relatives, and specifically my grandmother, who is in her 90s and lives in Beit Ur al-Fouqa.  This could be my last opportunity to see her.  I will respect any restrictions and will not promote boycotts against Israel during my visit.  Thank you, Rashida Tlaib."
• 
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri subsequently offered to overturn the ban and approved Tlaib's request to visit her grandmother but Tlaib then announced that she is turning down the offer.
• 
"Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me.  It would kill a piece of me.  I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in — fighting against racism, oppression & injustice."
• 
"When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions.  I can't allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my sity to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies."
• 
Deri responded: "Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib just tweeted that she will not visit Israel.  Last night, she sent me a letter asking me to allow her to visit her grandmother, who is in her 90s, because 'this might be my last opportunity to see her.' I agreed to this humanitarian request, but it turns out that it was just a provocation aimed at embarrassing Israel."

      Disney princes in 'Snow White,' 'Sleeping Beauty' are sex offenders, professor says  (Fox 01/02/2018)

• 
... with a link to a news story of a real case where a man was arrested for kissing a sleeping woman on a train en route to Osaka.
• 
"When you think rationally about 'Snow White' and 'Sleeping Beauty,' that tell of a ‘princess being woken up by the kiss of a prince,' they are describing sexual assault on an unconscious person.  You might think I'm ruining the fantasy of it all, but these stories are promoting sexual violence and I would like everyone to be aware of it."
• 
... if someone doesn't look at the fairytales critically, they are essentially saying sexual harassment is permissible.
• 
"There were many critical replies that state ‘Because the princess and prince lived happily ever after in the end, there is a presumptive consent regarding the kiss, so there's no problem,'"
• 
... "However, this understanding of it is actually dangerous.  This kind of thinking fabricates the mindset of ‘the ends justify the means,' and to what extent does this allow sexual violence to occur?"

      Killer’s hero welcome shows how hate thrives in Middle East  (Fox 03/27/2017)
• 
From the public reaction to the recent release of the schoolgirls' killer, Ahmed Daqamseh, however, we learn that the late monarch's humanity is no match for the hatred generated by Muslim clerics.
• 
Before Daqamseh's trial, 200 lawyers and the Jordanian Bar Association competed for the privilege of defending him.
• 
Four years later, his mother reflected, "I am proud of my son, and I hold my head high.  My son did a heroic deed and has pleased God and his own conscience.  My son lifts my head and the head of the entire Arab and Islamic nation.  I am proud of any Muslim who does what Ahmad did."
• 
Ahmed Daqamseh had 20 years in prison to reflect on his murder of the seventh- and eighth-grade students as they alighted from a bus at the "Island of Peace," a joint Jordanian-Israeli tourist location under Jordanian control.
• 
He took pains to shoot some of his victims at close range, and later lamented only that his M16 had worked imperfectly, so he was unable to murder the entire busload of students.
• 
Daqamseh learned nothing during his incarceration.  After walking out of prison, he said: "They (Jews) are human garbage ...This garbage should be burned or buried."
• 
Upon his release, hundreds of enthusiastic supporters traveled to his hometown to welcome their "hero."
• 
Attitudes in the Middle East are shaped to an outsize degree by mosque and madrassah, where Muslim clerics hold the keys.
• 
Many Muslim religious leaders point fingers at ISIS and Al Qaeda, hoping to distract attention from the fundamentalist message they serve up regularly, teaching contempt – and worse – for Jews, Christians, Westerners and gays.
• 
Recently, Mufti Muhammad Hussein, Palestinian President Abbas' appointee as chief religious authority, publicly stated that killing Jews — accepted in Islam as the "people of the Book" — is a Muslim obligation.
• 
Though the parents wanted to pronounce the name "Jay," the court noted the letter is pronounced "Yott" in German, creating confusion.

Daqamseh arrived before dawn Sunday in his home village of Ibdir in northern Jordan.

Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage in 2011, is returning to court this week as the government appeals a ruling that his isolation in prison breaches the European Convention on Human Rights.

... was convicted of mass murder and terrorism in 2012 and given a 21-year prison sentence that can be extended for as long as he's deemed dangerous to society.  Legal experts say he will likely be locked up for life.

Breivik has often complained about his treatment and prison conditions.

Last year, he sued the government, saying his solitary confinement, frequent strip searches and the fact that he was often handcuffed during the early part of his incarceration violated his human rights.

The government has rejected his complaints, saying he is treated humanely despite the severity of his crimes and that he must be separated from other inmates for safety reasons.

• 
The EU and the U.S.  lavish foreign aid money on the Palestinians.  America has offered a half-century of support to Jordan and Egypt.  It is much easier to be a Muslim in Europe than a Christian in the Middle East.

Obama has publicly deferred to Muslim interests while abroad.  He apologized to the Turkish parliament for a host of supposed past American sins — "some of our own darker periods in our history."
• 
In symbolic fashion, Obama bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.  The president's Cairo speech mythologized Islamic contributions throughout history and downplayed Western achievement.
• 
The Obama administration has in effect banned the use of the terms "jihadism" and "Islamic terrorism." It prefers a host of euphemisms for Islamic terrorist acts, from "workplace violence" to "man-caused disasters."

CIA Director John Brennan redefined jihad as a "holy struggle" of Islamic self-purification rather than a Koran-sanctioned campaign against infidels.

• 
... as a campaign of daily Palestinian terrorist attacks continues to target Israelis, the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday adopted six resolutions - all of which bar none condemned Israel.
• 
Not a single mention was made of the Palestinian attacks, which have left 22 Israelis dead and hundreds wounded, nor did any other countries - even serial human rights violators such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia and others - receive any of the General Assembly's attention.
• 
More disturbingly still, five of the the UNGA resolutions were sponsored by the Palestinian Authority, while the sixth was sponsored by none other than Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria.
• 
"Surreal barely captures the scene: the world is under assault by terrorists killing in the name of Islam and martyrhood — as Palestinians did this week while stabbing Israeli Jews — and the UN's response is to reflexively condemn Israel in six separate resolutions, all of which are one-sided."
• 
"The farce at the General Assembly underscores a simple fact: the UN's automatic majority has no interest in truly helping Palestinians, nor in protecting anyone's human rights; the goal of these ritual, one-sided condemnations remains the scapegoating of Israel."
• 
"The U.N.'s disproportionate assault against the Jewish state undermines the institutional credibility of what is supposed to be an impartial international body, and exposes the sores of politicization and selectivity that eat away at its founding mission, eroding the U.N.  Charter promise of equal treatment to all nations large and small."
      Afghans buy fake Taliban threat letters to help with asylum applications in Europe  (Fox 11/22/2015)

The handwritten notes on the stationery of the so-called Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan were traditionally sent to those alleged to have worked with Afghan security forces or U.S.-led troops, listing their "crimes" and warning that a "military commission" would decide on their punishment.

They would close with the mafia-style caveat that insurgents "will take no further responsibility for what happens in the future."

In Sweden, where the Jewish community had to cancel all evening activities and shutter its synagogues until further notice, Foreign Minister Margot Allstrom has linked Paris terror to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute in an appalling way.
• 
She refers to the Middle East, "where not least the Palestinians see that there is no future.  We must either accept a desperate situation or resort to violence." Her use of "we" suggests moral solidarity, not with Jews under threat in Israel or in her own country, but with Palestinian terrorists.

      For 7 years, VW software thwarted pollution regulations  (Fox 09/22/2015)
• 
Volkswagen became the world's top-selling carmaker trumpeting the environmental friendliness, fuel efficiency and high performance of diesel-powered vehicles that met America's tough Clean Air laws.
• 
VW's success story was so good that pollution-control advocates did their own tests, hoping to persuade other countries to enforce the same strict standards.
• 
Instead, they got a foul-smelling surprise: In actual driving, the VWs spewed as much as 40 times more pollution from tailpipes than allowed by the U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency.
• 
VW got away with this scheme for seven years, and according to the EPA, didn't come clean even when repeatedly confronted with evidence of excessive pollution.
• 
U.S.  diesel emissions limits, mainly for ozone-causing nitrogen oxide, are more strict than those in Europe.  Removing the chemical requires additional hardware.  Instead, VW used secret software — an algorithm that detects when cars are being tested on treadmill-like devices called dynamometers, and stealthily switches the engines to a cleaner mode.
• 
Because smog tests are almost always done on dynamometers, VW got away with the scheme for seven years, until the "clean transportation" advocates went to West Virginia University, which tests emissions using equipment that fits in car trunks.

      British ISIS Fighter Laments 'Rude Arabs' who Steal His Shoes  (INN 09/17/2015)
• 
A British ISIS fighter has taken to his personal blog to complain about "rude" and "lazy" Arabs who steal his shoes, and warn potential western recruits to the jihadist cause of the "culture clash" they will face when joining the so-called "Islamic State."
• 
He details a full 13 "habits which Arabs are known for" which he finds irritating and offensive, ranging from "being childish" and "stealing shoes" to being lazy, not respecting "personal space" and keeping him up at night by talking loudly.
• 
"Arabs as a whole have a unique culture, which differs dramatically from the western lifestyle."
• 
"If one is unaware of these cultural differences, then it could be quite peculiar, annoying, and at times somewhat stressful to interact and associate with them."
• 
"Another common trait is that they [Arabs] see no issue in unplugging your mobile phone to charge their own phone.  Even if it's your own charger, they would casually take your phone off charge to charge their own phone, even if there is no real need for them to charge their phone at that current time."
• 
"In the west, it is common knowledge to walk out of a room wearing the same pair of shoes that you wore while entering the room.  Nay, it is common sense.  However here in Sham [Syria], our Syrian brothers have a very peculiar philosophy whereby they believe that everyone can share each other's footwear, irrespective of foot size..."
• 
"From my very first month here in Sham, I would experience this; I would enter a room with my shoes, and when leaving I would notice my footwear was missing.  This is too common here in Sham.  For some reason (known best to Syrians), what's yours is theirs and what's theirs is yours, even if you disagree with it."
• 
... also found Arab table manners tough to stomach, complaining that when he served food to them he had to force them to sit down "like primary [elementary] school students" or risked being mobbed.
•

"Political Islam is a sort of nemesis of European culture.  The medical metaphor that sees in Israel and the Jews a ‘cancer' and a ‘contagion' are new versions of old anti-Semitic rethorics.  Political Islam, unfortunately, has used these as a Trojan horse in the already sick or weak conscience of Europeans."

A 50-year old Italian woman - a department head at the European Council - saw a man at the cafe holding a metal plaque engraved with "Mussolini" and praising the World War II-era Italian fascist leader. 
• 
She apparently infuriated the man by informing him that "he [Mussolini] was still a dictator," to which the man replied: "Dirty Jewess ... Hitler should have exterminated all Jews, just like Jews today are exterminating Palestinians."

According to the woman's complaint, the encounter quickly turned violent with the man then hitting her on the head with the metal plaque, slapping her and grabbing her throat in an effort to choke her.

After initially catching the boy, the soldier is quickly surrounded by Arab women and children who scream at, punch and bite him until a colleague is forced to extricate him, leaving the rock-thrower to go free.

      What About Those Jews?  Ukranian Neo-Nazism and Culture Offensive  (INN 08/27/2015)
• 
To refresh our memory, those fighters and ‘heroes' having streets in Ukraine renamed to honor them are responsible for the documented 88,700 (estimated 130,800) lives of Poles during the nightmare of the Volyn massacre carried on in 4,144 places in 1943; for thousands of victims of the two horrific Lvov pogroms in July 1941, with, respectively, four and two thousand people murdered in a day; for many unspeakable atrocities during the Second World War.
• 
Just one quote of very many available ones: "UNA UNSO (the Bandera and Shuchevich organisation) have been responsible for lives of 850,000 Jews, 220,000 Poles, 500,000 Ukrainian and Belorussians (civil population), 400,000 Soviet prisoners of war."
• 
... "those Ukrainians who were the Nazi collaborators, were worse that the Nazi themselves in their non-stop bloody crimes, and the pleasure that they were getting from it."
• 
The Bandera organization's Torture Manual, re-published in Poland in 1989, is an impossible read.  It lists 180 kinds of tortures of the most imaginative kind.  ... Highly recommended reading, especially if somebody is perplexed about the definitions of the terms ‘heroes' or ‘freedom fighters'.
• 
The list of the crimes of the new Ukraine ‘heroes' is precise — and it is a very long one.
• 
Next year, there will be the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Babi Yar massacre in Ukraine.  ... "among 1500 policemen carrying on the massacre, 300 were German members of the SS, and 1200 members of the Ukrainian OUN UNSO forces (those Bandera ‘heroes')".  The statistic of Babi Yar is well known: 350 000 people were murdered there from 1941 through 1943,160, 000 of them Jewish, 50 000 of them children.  Any further questions on the Bandera fighters' heroism?
• 
The ideological father of the new laws in Ukraine reworking all this outrage is the one of the new Ukrainian MPs, Jury Shuchevich, the 82 –year son of Roman Shuchevich, the one of the leaders of the infamous the SS Nachtigail battalion.
• 
The fact that the son of the political leader of the SS Nachtigail battalion and the bearer of the Nazi Iron Cross is the most respected – according to the Ukrainian authorities – member of their parliament is telling all by itself.
• 
"It is a very complicated question which has to be examined in full detail.  But what about those Jews?  Those ones who were in Judenrats, and who were after their own people in ghettos?  I saw it with my own eyes.  But Jews do not like to talk about it."
• 
Were 70 years not enough time to ‘examine' those ‘complicated' questions in full detail?  And how about this completely shameless, cynical and hateful statement that mocks the memory of victims of his father's ‘exploits to the core?
• 
In Germany and many other countries, he would be behind bars for his racist incitements.  In the current Ukraine, he is a hero, like his criminal father.  This legacy is tarnishing the reputation of Ukraine in global proportions.
• 
With unprecedented zealotry in implementation of what they believe is their new cultural and ideological identity, Ukrainian authorities did not find a better solution than ‘black lists'.  They are enthusiastically blacklisting everything and everyone now - people, books, films.  Those lists are telling, too.
• 
The new Ukrainian authorities have 554 people on their black list of cultural personalities, mostly Russians...
• 
In comparison, the white list of those whom they listed as their friends contains 34 names.  ... Another, the cult Soviet and Russian satirist writer Mikhail Zhvanezki, also of Jewish origin, has stated that "he is stunned by the decision, and does not quite know how to treat it, to cry or to laugh."
• 
The new Ukrainian authorities' attacks on literature and cinema are unprecedented for the beginning of the XXI century.
• 
They are banning books and banning writers en masse and they are banning the film versions of their own Gogol – who wrote in Russian and escaped from his place of birth first to St Petersburg and then to Italy, and their own Bulgakov for ‘unfavourable depiction' of Ukrainians.
• 
The new methods of punitive patriotism appear daily.  Recently, the authorities in Kiev decided to strip the scientists who in their opinion are disloyal, or not loyal enough, of their scientific credentials - independently of when and in which country those scientists defended their dissertations and received their doctorates.

It is amazing to observe such revival of medieval inquisitional practices in Ukraine.

In which official document could the only army in the world with a clause providing for disobeying an inhumane order, Israel's Defence Forces, be compared to bands of Islamic terrorists who crucify children, bury them alive and use them as suicide bombers?
• 
That's a no-brainer.  At the United Nations, of course.
• 
Two other resolutions against Jerusalem have been approved at the UN in the last few weeks.  The Commission on the Status of Women condemned Israel as the world's worst violator of the rights of women.  Not Syria, where government forces are using rape as a tactic of war or the Islamic State that enslaves women of religious minorities.  Not Saudi Arabia, where women are physically punished if they do not wear orthodox clothing.  Not Iran, where adultery is punishable by death by stoning.
• 
There is more.  Israel was condemned, by a vote of 104 to 4 at the Human Rights Council in Geneva, as the only country in the world that violates health rights, although it is the only state in the world that heals its enemies (from the Golan to Gaza and Ramallah) and that sent aid to Nepal during the earthquake.

      From terrorists to freeloaders?  'Uruguay Six' want Obama White House to take care of them  (Fox 04/29/2015)
• 
While President Obama continues to obsess over closing Gitmo, a handful of former detainees, including men with training in suicide operations and explosives, are now protesting for cash outside the U.S.  Embassy in Montevideo.  They bitterly complain that Uruguay's welfare of $600 a month just isn't enough, and now they're demanding Uncle Sam chip in too.
• 
For these jihadist prima-donnas, even though the local labor union repeatedly offered them jobs since they were resettled on humanitarian grounds last December, they have refused them all.  Apparently they consider working in construction or meat-packing beneath them.
• 
The "Uruguay Six," four Syrians, a Tunisian and a Palestinian are outraged that the White House isn't taking care of them financially and want their big payday.  And they want it now, refusing to back down until they speak with the U.S.  ambassador.
• 
Even though the six were given a 4-bedroom house by the Uruguayan government, Adel Bin Muhammad El Ouerghi of Tunisia told the press, "we are too many to stay in the house."
• 
According to his Guantanamo file, El Ouerghi was a senior explosives trainer for Al Qaeda who was captured in Afghanistan.  Given his seniority and sense of notoriety as an ex-Gitmo man, perhaps he views living with 5 other men in a 4-bedroom place as beneath his dignity?
• 
Omar Mahmoud Faraj of Syria said the Uruguayan government "promised many things, but so far these are only words." Like his roommates, he wants his own house, and a family too.
• 
Even getting past his rap sheet, which includes suicide operations training and combat operations at Tora Bora, Bin Laden's last stand in Afghanistan, how can anyone expect to have a family if they aren't willing to work?
• 
They've also insisted that a mosque be built in Montevideo.  After all, why should they adjust to Uruguay when they obviously think that Uruguayans should adjust to them?
• 
Even for the far-left former president of Uruguay, Jose Mujica, who took them in last year, their outrageous behavior has been too much.
• 
The great irony here is exposing the naivete of the international left. 
• 
But even he was unprepared for the reality of just how undesirable these guys really are.  So now he, and everybody else in Latin America have learned the hard way.  The Gitmo detainees are Creeps with a capital "C."
• 
Meanwhile, Congress should ensure that these terrorists don't get a dime of taxpayer dollars.  Americans should hold the White House accountable if they even try.
• 
Not one more detainee should be released from Gitmo until a better system is in place — or their fellow jihadists stop attacking us.  Whichever comes first.

Italian police said Thursday that 15 African Muslim migrants have been arrested after witnesses said the refugees threw 12 Christians into the Mediterranean following a brawl.
• 
The 15 were accused of multiple homicide aggravated by religious hatred, police said in a statement.
• 
Eventually the threat was carried out and 12 were pushed overboard.  The statement said the motive was that the victims "professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim."
• 
The surviving Christians, the statement said, only managed to stay on board by forming a "human chain" to resist the assault.

      UN says Israel, not Iran, North Korea or Syria worst violator of human rights  (Fox 03/28/2015)
• 
There were four resolutions on Israel.  And one on North Korea — a country that is home to government policies of torture, starvation, enslavement, rape, disappearances, and murder – to name just some of its crimes against humanity.
• 
Four resolutions on Israel.  And one on Syria.  Where the death toll of four years of war is 100,000 civilians, ten million people are displaced, and barrel bombs containing chemical agents like chlorine gas are back in action
• 
Four resolutions on Israel.  And one on Iran.  Where there is no rule of law, no free elections, no freedom of speech, corruption is endemic, protestors are jailed and tortured, religious minorities are persecuted, and pedophilia is state-run.  At last count, in 2012 Iranian courts ordered more than 30,000 girls ages 14 and under to be "married."
• 
The Israel resolutions, on the other hand, were full of "demands," "condemns," "expresses grave concern," and "deplores" – along with orders to "cease immediately" a long list of alleged human rights violations.
• 
For starters, China, Qatar, Russia and Saudi Arabia are all members of the UN Human Rights Council.  Actually protecting human rights is not a condition of being elected to the Council, and thereby transforming into a UN authority on what counts as a human rights violation.
• 
Thus at this session, "death to America" Iran sponsored a Council resolution called "Enhancement of international cooperation in the field of human rights." It was adopted by consensus – with U.S.  blessing.
• 
The Cubans successfully engineered a Council resolution on protecting "cultural rights" – minus free expression.
• 
The Palestinians – whose unity government includes the terrorist group Hamas – co-sponsored the resolution "effects of terrorism on the enjoyment of human rights."
• 
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation – representing states where converting to Christianity is subject to the death penalty – sponsored a resolution called "combating intolerance of persons based on religion or belief.
• 
It was suggested to Iran, for instance, that it stop peddling little girls as sex slaves for old men.  The recommendation received this reply: "in light of Islamic teachings, a person that has reached the age of maturity and is of sound mind has the possibility of marrying."
• 
There is an alternative conclusion.  We note with disappointment that the United States legitimizes this travesty and empowers the real enemies of human rights.

• 
Each and every news leak out of Lausanne depicts the U.S.  walking back its demands.  Just watch the faces of the Iranian negotiators.  Their smiles tell the tale.
• 
The administration reasons that in 10 to 15 years, the Iranian regime will improve.  It is willing to gamble that once Iran achieves nuclear status, it won't use nuclear bombs or share them with terrorists.  It is willing to gamble that the other unstable nations in the region won't get nuclear weapons in response.  It is willing to gamble that future leaders of Iran won't be even more radical than those in power now.
• 
It is impossible to recall a more dangerous or foolish set of assumptions by an American president in modern American history.  Death to America might become more than a chant
      Southampton Univ.  Loud on Israel, Silent on UK Rape Epidemic  (INN 03/24/2015)

The scale of the abuse in Oxfordshire, a county in southeast England, mirrors similarly shocking accounts of the sexual exploitation of white British girls by Muslim gangs in Bristol, Derby, Rochdale, Rotherham and Telford, and implies that the problem is not isolated, but endemic."

The manipulative, intentional distortion of the Holocaust desecrates the memory of both victims and survivors, and suggests strongly that the Iranian regime has yet to overcome the politics of hate."
• 
"This is obviously an Iranian way of spitting in the face of the Western world."
• 
"The Iranians are showing their disdain for Western values.  Attitudes toward the Holocaust have become a litmus test, because the Holocaust is now acknowledged as the paradigm of man's inhumanity to his fellow man.  It underscores the systematic effort by the Iranian regime to undermine, not only the uniqueness of the Holocaust, but even its historical legitimacy."

• 
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak to the Congress of the United States for the third time.  Winston Churchill is the only other foreign leader to speak three times on Capitol Hill.  President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry will return the favor by refusing to meet Netanyahu during his trip.
• 
"There is no exercise in humiliation that Americans have not tried with the prime minister and his entourage.  Bibi received in the White House the same treatment of the president of Equatorial Guinea".
• 
And during a previous visit of Netanyahu in Washington, the Israeli prime minister refused to capitulate to the White House's request to resume the negotiation process with the Palestinian Arabs.  Obama stood up and said: "I am going to dinner with Michelle and the girls."
• 
The former Dutch Minister of Economy Herman Heinsbroek just gave an interview in which he argued that it would be good to move the Jews from Israel to the United States: "It was a historical mistake to give the Jews a state in the midst of Islam".  This is also the opinion of the European majority.
• 
When the German Academic August Rohling, towards the end of the nineteenth century, said that the Jews had to be given civil rights but that it was necessary to ban them from political life, he helped to set the scene for future, atrocious persecutions.  Today the West is trying to do the same with the abandonment of Israel.  A few days ago the Jewish state disappeared from the maps of Harper Collins, the largest publishing house in the English language in the world.
• 
The progressive isolation of Israel in international forums has meant that the culture of rights founded by Judaism is now used against the Jews, from the Geneva Convention to the charges of "crimes against humanity". 
• 
The proverbial slowness and myopia of Dutch judges vanishes as soon as it comes to the Jewish state (the court has already condemned Jerusalem for having built a wall of defense against terrorist attacks).
• 
Meanwhile, the terrorists of Hamas, no longer blacklisted by the European Union, can claim the "heroic" stabbings of Jewish commuters in Tel Aviv.

"Israel and the Israel Defense Forces are dealing with terrorist groups that have no inhibitions, and do so while ensuring moral values and trying as much as possible to prevent harming innocent civilians."
• 
"It would be more appropriate for the court to investigate the Palestinian terror and incitement or the systematic murder of hundreds of thousands of people in the Arab world, and not a democracy that protects itself and has an independent and objective judiciary."
• 
"It is a tragic irony that Israel, which has withstood thousands of terrorist rockets fired at its civilians and its neighborhoods, is now being scrutinized by the ICC."

      Nine troubling statements from Turkey's Erdogan  (Fox 01/16/2015)
• 
1) Foreigners "Like Seeing Our Children Die": "They look like friends, but they want us dead, they like seeing our children die."
• 
2) The Muslim World — on its Own — "Can Resolve Every Problem": "The only condition to overcome the crisis in the Islamic world is unity, solidarity and alliance.  Believe me, we can resolve every problem as long as we are united."
• 
3) America Was Discovered by Muslims: "Muslim sailors arrived on the shores of America in 1178."
• 
4) Gender Equality?  It's "Against Nature": "You cannot bring women and men into equal positions."
• 
5) Israel has "Surpassed Hitler in Barbarism": "Those who condemn Hitler day and night have surpassed Hitler in barbarism."
• 
6) Birth Control is "Treason": Saying more children were needed "to take Turkey above the level of modern civilizations," he said those who disagreed "have been engaged in the treason of birth control for years, and sought to dry up our generation."
• 
7) "We'll Eradicate Twitter": "I don't care what the international community says," he proclaimed.  "Everyone will witness the power of the Turkish Republic."
• 
8) And Maybe the Whole Web: "I am increasingly against the Internet every day." "Media should never have been given the liberty to insult."
• 
9) Robots Are Out to Get Him: "The robot lobby that they set up on social media hits with tweets.  They tell them to increase the number of tweets."

It was a close-run thing, but in the end an Australian leftist came up with the single most pathetic and cowardly response to last week's Islamic terrorist atrocities in France.
• 
....  let's take a look at the entry from runner-up Francois Hollande, who – when he isn't desperately avoiding obvious facts – has a part-time gig as the French president:
• 
"Those who committed these acts have nothing to do with the Muslim religion."
• 
Apart from the vengeance against Charlie Hebdo magazine for offending Islam.  And the screams of "Allahu Akbar" as the Islamic terrorists advanced on their victims.  And the cry of "we have avenged the prophet" following the shooting of an injured policeman.  And the armed invasion of a Jewish supermarket.  And the terrorists' wishes, communicated to authorities as they were trapped near Charles de Gaulle airport, to die as martyrs.
• 
"I don't depict Muhammad because it's probably racist and also I don't get to put my family and my coworkers at risk of being firebombed."
• 
This is a fellow who makes his living frequently ridiculing what he depicts as an exaggerated fear of Islamic terrorism and who routinely describes as bigots and idiots those who condemn Islamic terrorism.

North Koreans are very, very sensitive on the matter of face.  A succession of heads of state are particularly talented at taking offense.  I spent a week in Pyongyang when Kim Jong-un's father, Kim Jong-il, was the presiding chief movie critic.  He later dispatched agents to kidnap Shin Sang-ok, a famous South Korean movie director, and his equally famous divorced actress wife, Choi Eun-hee, and put them up in Pyongyang to make a movie better than Godzilla, his favorite.  A movie about a North Korean monster called Pulgasari was a disaster, but Kim Jong-il loved it, and seven films followed, with Kim Jong-il as executive producer.  They all got really good reviews in North Korea, and Shin and Choi, now married again at Kim Jong-il's "suggestion," were allowed to travel to Vienna for a film festival.  They fled.

      Russia orders shutdown of human rights group for creating 'false image' of USSR  (Fox 12/28/2021)
• 
The Prosecutor General's Office last month petitioned the Supreme Court to revoke the legal status of Memorial — an international human rights group that rose to prominence for its studies of political repression in the Soviet Union and currently encompasses more than 50 smaller groups in Russia and abroad.
• 
The court on Tuesday ruled in favor of the prosecution, which charged at the hearing that Memorial "creates a false image of the USSR as a terrorist state, whitewashes and rehabilitates Nazi criminals."
• 
Memorial was declared a "foreign agent" in 2016 — a label that implies additional government scrutiny and carries strong pejorative connotations that can discredit the targeted organization.
• 
In their lawsuit to shut it down, prosecutors alleged that the group repeatedly violated regulations obliging it to mark itself as a foreign agent, and tried to conceal the designation.
• 
Russian authorities in recent months have mounted pressure on rights groups, media outlets and individual journalists, naming dozens as foreign agents.
• 
Some were declared "undesirable" — a label that outlaws organizations in Russia — or accused of links to "undesirable" groups, several were forced to shut down or disband themselves to prevent further prosecution.
• 
"Memorial is an institution of national memory about the times of the Great Terror and Soviet repressions," the group said in a statement.
• 
"To shut down such an institution is to publicly justify Stalin's repressions.  It is a clear signal both to the society and to the elites: ‘Yes, repressions were necessary and useful to the Soviet state in the past, and we need them today as well.'"...
• 
Five allies of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny were taken into custody Tuesday.  Earlier this year, a court in Moscow outlawed Navalny's organizations — the Foundation for Fighting Corruption and his country-wide network of regional offices — as extremist, exposing their staff members and supporters to prosecution.
• 
Navalny himself is serving 2?  years in prison for violating the terms of his probation from a 2014 embezzlement conviction that is widely seen as politically motivated.
• 
The politician was arrested in January upon returning from Germany, where he spent five months recovering from a nerve agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin — accusations that Russian officials reject.

      North Korean education official reportedly executed for 'anti-party activities'  (Fox 04/10/2021)
• 
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly ordered the execution of a top higher education official for "anti-party activities" — after he complained about not receiving support and resources from the government.
• 
The man in his 50s, only identified as Park, had been selected to serve as chairman of the Ministry of Higher Education's "non-standing commission for the implementation of the Distance Education Act."
• 
But an investigation by the Organization and Guidance Department into the commission revealed that Park failed to achieve any real progress to inform remote learning in the country — and that the commission only gathered to criticize the government...
• 
"I don't understand why [the authorities] would choose to implement the act, create this commission, and call busy professors away from their university jobs [if they were not going to give the commission any resources]," Park said.
• 
"Even if [we] make suggestions, [they] just tell [us] to keep [our] mouths shut, so let's just go through the motions of gathering and then go home," he reportedly told his commission members.
• 
... the OGD conducted its probe, leading the Ministry of State Security to execute Park for "anti-party and anti-revolutionary sectarian activities within the education sector."

      Putin doesn't rule out another presidential run amid amendment that would 'reset' terms to zero  (Fox 03/10/2020)
• 
... lawmakers in the Kremlin-controlled State Duma are considering a proposal submitted this week to amend the constitution and basically allow "resetting to zero" the number of presidential terms.
• 
"I propose to either lift the presidential term limit or add a clause that after the revised constitution enters force, the incumbent president, just like any other citizen, has the right to seek the presidency," lawmaker Valentina Tereshkova said to raucous applause.
• 
Putin gave his support to the amendment put forward by Tereshkova, who as a Soviet cosmonaut in 1963 became the first woman to fly to space.
• 
In a speech, the 67-year-old Putin, who is Russia's longest-serving leader since Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, spoke against scrapping presidential term limits altogether.
• 
But he backed the idea that if the constitution is revised, a two-term limit should only apply from 2024 on.
• 
He said he is aware of public calls for him to stay on as president and emphasized that Russia needs stability above all.
• 
"The president is a guarantor of security of our state, its internal stability and evolutionary development," Putin said.  "We have had enough revolutions."
• 
Then he said he supported Tereshkova's alternate proposal to restart the term count when the revamped constitution enters force.
• 
"As for the proposal to lift restrictions for any person, including the incumbent, to allow running in elections, this option is possible," Putin said.
• 
He added that the Constitutional Court would need to judge if the move would be legal, although the court's assent is all but guaranteed.

"Tender snow crunches under the feet ... like the bones of my enemies.  What is it you want, friends?" he talks into the translation app, as it speaks back in Russian.
• 
The thugs then leave saying: "Guys, he is one of ours."

      Terrorist watchlist ruled unconstitutional after lawsuit by Muslim US citizens; next steps...  (Fox 09/05/2019)
• 
The decision from U.S.  District Judge Anthony Trenga in the Eastern District of Virginia granted summary judgment to the plaintiffs, who sued with the help of a leading Muslim civil rights group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
• 
Trenga found that the government's list of more than 1 million people identified as "known or suspected terrorists" was unconstitutional.
• 
Although the plaintiffs in the case had not received any official notice they were on a watchlist, they said they had "inferred" they were on it because they were "routinely subjected to additional screening when they fly on a commercial airplane and when they enter the United States at a land border or port."
• 
... because the government did not dispute the factual contention that at least five plaintiffs were regularly subjected to extra screening, Trenga said the case was ripe for resolution by summary judgment.
• 
"The court concludes that the risk of erroneous deprivation of plaintiffs' travel-related and reputational liberty interests is high, and the currently existing procedural safeguards are not sufficient to address that risk."
• 
Gadeir Abbas, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, called the ruling an unequivocal victory.
• 
He said he will be asking the judge to severely curtail how the government compiles and uses its list.
• 
CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a statement that the organization's "legal team has finally brought an end to the secretive watchlist, which is effectively a Muslim registry created in the wake of the widespread Islamophobia of the early 2000s."
• 
"There is no evidence, or contention, that any of these plaintiffs satisfy the definition of a 'known terrorist'."
• 
Earlier this year, the House of Representatives adopted a proposal from Democratic Minnesota Rep.  Ilhan Omar that would force the Trump administration to disclose details about how it shares the watchlist with foreign countries.

      Abbas Accuses Israel of 'Executing' Child Terrorist  (INN 10/14/2015)
• 
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has accused Israel of "executing" a 13-year-old Palestinian teenager - one of two teenage Arab terrorists who carried out a brutal stabbing spree in Jerusalem on Monday.
• 
Ahmed Mansara carried out the attack in Pisgat Ze'ev along with his 15-year-old cousin Mahmoud, which left a 25-year-old man seriously injured and a 13-year-old Jewish Israeli boy fighting for his life in critical condition.
• 
Israel "executed the child Ahmed Mansara in cold blood, just like they do to other children in Jerusalem and other Palestinian territories," Abbas said.
• 
But apart from the lack of context, there is one small problem with Abbas's claim: Ahmed Mansara was not killed.  He was hit by a car as he and his cousin ran along a busy street holding large knives and evacuated in serious condition - but still alive - to Israel's Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital, where he is still being treated.
• 
His 15-year-old accomplice was indeed shot dead after charging at police with his knife.

      The West's "Ardent" Feminists Abandon Women to the Caliph  (INN 05/31/2015)
• 
After attacking a village, the Islamic State splits women from men and executes boys and men aged 14 and over.  The women and mothers are separated; girls are stripped, tested for virginity and examined for breast size and prettiness.
• 
The youngest, and those considered the prettiest virgins fetch higher prices and are sent to Raqqa, the IS stronghold.
• 
There is a hierarchy: sheikhs get first choice, then emirs, then fighters.  They often take three or four girls each and keep them for a month or so, until they grow tired of a girl, when she goes back to market.
• 
At slave auctions, buyers haggle fiercely, driving down prices by disparaging girls as flat-chested or unattractive.  We heard about one girl who was traded 22 times, and another, who had escaped, told us that the sheikh who had captured her wrote his name on the back of her hand to show that she was his "property.'"

Even the corrupt United Nations has spoken, while the Western feminists keep silent.

It was Jan.  16 and by the week's end Muslims had set fire to at least 45 churches and looted the homes of a number of Christian ministers.  Ten people were killed.  Followers of Christ fled for the lives.

The protests were over the cartoons lampooning the Prophet Muhammad that were published by the French magazine Charlie Hebdo.

The New York Times published a dispatch from Reuters that appeared sympathetic to the mob.  The story included quotes from a Muslim explaining why they were angry — but there were no quotes from the Christian victims.
• 
Likewise, USA Today's coverage lacked any commentary from pastors or priests.  But they did find an imam who reminded the newspaper's readers that the Islamic faith is peaceful.

"Regarding your picture on page A5 of the Israeli soldier and the Palestinian on the Temple Mount — that Palestinian is actually my son, Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish student from Chicago.  He, and two of his friends, were pulled from their taxicab while traveling in Jerusalem, by a mob of Palestinian Arabs, and were severely beaten and stabbed.That picture could not have been taken on the Temple Mount because there are no gas stations on the Temple Mount and certainly none with Hebrew lettering, like the one clearly seen behind the Israeli soldier attempting to protect my son from the mob." Dr.  Aaron Grossman

Criminals have noticed the lack of support, and they have taken advantage of it.
• 
Our entire city is sliding downwards, fast.
• 
The personal information of crime victims and witnesses is almost immediately handed over to criminals' attorneys.
• 
And our justice system is regularly spitting out career criminals who have no business walking our streets.
• 
One of those criminals was a parole violator who had tried to kill police officers before.  This weekend, he tried to kill us again.
• 
If our elected leaders won't reverse course, it will be up to us.
• 
Cops and the New Yorkers who support us will have to make that change happen.
• 
We can do it together by standing together, speaking out together and refusing to let our leaders ignore or dismiss us.
• 
We need to remind them that behind every crime statistic, behind every shocking headline is a real person: a crime victim or a police officer who was attacked for doing his job.< «ªjÖÚV•&¡6÷‰BíXÆZBÄUÉ$õ  ôÁ®~Ý™,®4K˜5$Ϲš3ç¨ ­»†FAÇ^3OÐüAu­O2¶‹ui2
