'Social Justice' Is Extortion

See the source image'Social Justice' Is Extortion
"The Mafia is not as good at extortion as “social justice” activists. 
Feminists and race activists have successfully invoked moralism to demand preferences, special benefits, and power. 
The legal cover for this extortion comes in the form of “affirmative action” and “diversity.”
Feminists, under the guise of “equality,” have striven to replace men and dominate in their place.
In this, they have been largely successful.
For sixty years, they have demanded and received preference in college admissions and funding, university and business hiring and grants, and appointment to administrations and positions of power.
...Blacks, Hispanics, and other “people of color” have been given preferences for admissions, funding, and jobs for sixty years under “affirmative action.”

The “else” turns out to be widespread looting of commercial enterprises; arson of private and public buildings, and of police and personal cars; assaults on police and anyone who attempts to stop criminality; and if they get too irritated, murder.
Looting has been justified by a Black Lives Matter official as “reparations now.”...Read all.

Stealing your vote!-----Imagine 'Antifa Ballot-Harvesters.' It Isn't Hard To Do.

Imagine 'Antifa Ballot-Harvesters.' It Isn't Hard To Do.
"Think about the potential for antifa “ballot-harvesters.” 
See the source imageEven before Saturday, when Congresswoman Ayana Presley called for more riots and “unrest” on America’s streets over mail-in ballots and U.S. Postal Service (USPS) funding, I worried about the mob and your ballot.
“Ballot-harvester” is a term for a person allowed to pick up someone else’s ballot and, in some cases, fill it in and take it to the polling place, elections center, or post office. 
See the list of states below and their rules on other people “harvesting” your ballot. 
At least 27 states allow someone else to handle your ballot.
In 2018, in Orange County, Calif., an entire congressional delegation in that reliably rock-ribbed conservative area was lost due to ballot-harvesters collecting and, in some cases, filling out ballots for others. 
Democrat ballot-harvesters used illegal aliens to collect the ballots of citizens. 
They held “ballot parties” at large companies and went door-to-door
We have no idea what happened to all the ballots, since there are no chain-of-custody records...Read all.

NY NIGHTMARE: US Taxpayers to Finance De Blasio’s ‘Hotels for the Homeless’ at $2 MILLION Per Night | Sean Hannity
"Big Apple Mayor Bill de Blasio doubled-down on his plan this week to place his city’s ballooning homeless population in hotels throughout the five boroughs; a move that will be partially financed by the American taxpayer.
“Since the novel coronavirus began desecrating through New York more than five months ago, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration has been filling the city’s high-priced hotels with people experiencing homelessness in a bid to ease the burden on the shelter system and to curb the spread of the pathogen – ensuring that individuals have their own room and space to socially distance,” reports Fox News.
“As it stands, at least 139 hotels are deemed home to people experiencing homelessness...
Around 13,000 individuals are believed to be living in such hotels across some of the five boroughs, with most of them transferred from various shelters...Read all.

'Guaranteed Income' Schemes Picking Up Steam

'Guaranteed Income' Schemes Picking Up Steam
Image result for 'Guaranteed Income'"With close to 30 million Americans still unemployed and thousands of businesses facing an uncertain future, calls for a “guaranteed income” are becoming louder. 
Guaranteed income is giving cash to people who need it because they’re living in poverty.
It should not be confused with a “Universal Basic Income,” which is money given to everyone regardless of employment situation or wealth.
...Proponents of guaranteed income aren’t concerned with statistics or whether people living in poverty find a job. 
For them, it’s all about the Benjamins and social justice.
NBC News:
“COVID-19 has shone a bright, hot light on our systemic failures,” said Mayor Libby Schaaf of Oakland, California. “Oakland has seen more than a doubling in homelessness, and I am terrified that once these eviction moratoriums expire, we will see a homelessness armageddon.”
Schaaf is another signatory of the Mayors for Guaranteed Income statement of principles. Her city was once thought of as the working-class sibling to San Francisco. In recent years Oakland has become unaffordable for many who’ve called it home for generations: Along with rising homelessness, gentrification is in overdrive, the poverty rate is creeping toward 20 percentand a housing crisis looms ever larger. Schaaf says a guaranteed income is “powerful in its simplicity.”

White privilege programs take center stage in pair of schools; board members, parents push back hard - TheBlaze

White privilege programs take center stage in pair of schools; board members, parents push back hard - TheBlaze:

Image result for flickr commons images Elementery classroomGladwyne School in the Lower Merion School District — reportedly one of the richest in the nation — will require fourth and fifth graders to read "Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness," which claims that white people who relate to police officers or don't watch the news are guilty of racism, and kindergartners and first graders will be assigned "A Kid's Book About Racism," the Washington Free Beacon reported.
In response, Elana Yaron Fishbein — a mother of two boys and a doctor of social work — wrote to the district's superintendent, board members, and the school's principal demanding the school remove its "cultural proficiency" curriculum, the paper said.

California Suffers 2nd Day of Blackouts as Wind, Solar Power Falter
California suffered a second day of rolling electricity blackouts on Saturday evening as the state’s power grid struggled to deal with a heat wave that caused a surge in consumer demand.
There was widespread public confusion, as the state’s electricity grid operator had said earlier in the day that no blackouts would be necessary.
Bay Area public radio station KQED reported:
The California Independent System Operator, the agency that manages the state’s complex power grid, had expressed optimism as late as 4:30 p.m. that no emergency declaration would be necessary.
An emergency Friday night — formally known as a Stage 3 System Emergency — had prompted [Pacific Gas & Electric] and other major utilities to conduct rotating blackouts in their service areas...Read all.

"We are standing on the precipice of the biggest education revolution in generations.
Image result for public school failAs schools refuse at union behest to reopen full-time instruction in the fall, parents are flooding into alternative options like homeschooling and pandemic “pods.” 
For the first time in modern political memory, there is likely to be an exodus from public schools.
It will not just be the worst-served in poorer neighborhoods, to whom most school choice programs are geared, that leave. 
It will also be middle-class and wealthier families.
