At James Madison Memorial High School in Verona, Wisconsin, a student is petitioning to have the name of her school changed.
Why?
The student claims that the “significance of this name in association with my school has a negative effect on memorials [sic] black students.
The lack of representation I feel in this school makes me feel more than unsafe.” The Weekly Standard reports that to date, the petition has received more than 1,500 signatures.

"Can someone show us a climate prediction that has ever come true?-By Jack Hellner
It's another day, and we get a new story about how dire the climate threat is and that it is unambiguous that humans are a significant cause.
What is rarely noted in these articles is actual facts that support the theory.
I would love to see actual temperature data for each decade for the last 150 years, including where the measuring stations are located.
It would be especially interesting to see rural data where cement and asphalt don't inflate the temperature.
It should also always be noted that a "Little Ice Age" ended in 1715 and that some warming would be normal.
Why don't we see a list of storms, droughts, and floods from each decade to show the trend?
Even if there is some sort of a trend, how would it be attributed to humans, since the climate has always changed through billions of years when humans and fossil fuels could have had no effect?..."

Gov. McAuliffe in Charlottesville 'No Place in America' for Alt-Right, Refuses to Condemn AntiFa
Gov. McAuliffe in Charlottesville 'No Place in America' for Alt-Right, Refuses to Condemn AntiFa:
"Originally billed as a protest in favour of free speech — alongside the disdain over the removal of Confederate statues in the city — the “alt-right” rally found itself transformed into a torch-wielding, Nazi-flag waving dereliction of American values — at least considering the publicity afforded to the event, and the behaviour of some of the rally’s attendees.
In brief, what transpired amounted to a disgusting and unwelcome throwback to segregationist ideas and rhetoric at a time when patriotic conservatism is gaining ground. While many media minutes and deliberations will be afforded to the fascistic right, almost none will be dedicated to the fascistic left."

And Why Do Democrat Mayors and Governors Pull The Police Back And Allow Radicals Like Antifa and Black Lives Matter To Take Over The Streets and Hurt People?
All weekend, the left, the media and anyone who hates Trump has been implying and indirectly blaming Trump for the violence that took place in Charlottesville and attacking him for not naming and condemning White Supremacists, Nationalists and Neo Nazis in his Saturday response to what happened.
This is interesting because who were these groups fighting with?
They surely weren't fighting among themselves.
This is interesting because who were these groups fighting with? They surely weren't fighting among themselves.
Are the left and the media upset with Trump because he didn't mention Black Lives Matter (who were also there and fighting) or Antifa who were the main cause for the violence that erupted?
The answer is no.
There were some 30 plus groups gathered on Saturday, many of which were involved in violence and many were not.
Should Trump have named each and everyone during his Saturday response? Would that have pleased his critics?
Of course not.
No matter what happened, it will always be Trump's fault..."

Professors advised to treat racial microaggressions in classrooms like assault - The College Fix
"Professors attending a recent academic conference were advised to treat racial microaggressions in the classroom like actual assaults, according to attendees’ tweets.
The advice was doled out at a panel workshop at the annual Association for Theatre in Higher Education conference, held in Las Vegas earlier this month.
The workshop at which the comments were made focused on ways to make theater for students of color a “safe space,” according to the conference’s program.

Unlike the Trump Russian scandal, however, The Washington Post and New York Times have barely reported on the story, which has conservatives observing -- with President Donald Trump's Twitter account concurring -- that the mainstream media have a double standard."

Charlottesville mayor largely blames Trump for white supremacist violence
Charlottesville mayor largely blames Trump for white supremacist violence:
"The mayor of Charlottesville, Va., says President Trump bears responsibility for the violence that erupted during a white supremacist rally there Saturday.
“Look at the campaign he ran,” Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer said in an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
“I mean, look at the intentional courting, both on the one hand of all these white supremacists, white nationalists — a group like that — anti-Semitic groups, and then look on the other hand the repeated failure to step up, condemn, denounce, silence, you know, put to bed all those different efforts, just like we saw yesterday. I mean, this is not hard.”
“I’m not going to make any bones about it,” Signer told the Virginian-Pilot.
“I place the blame for a lot of what you’re seeing in American today right at the doorstep of the White House and the people around the president...”"

New Study By German Physicists Concludes We Can Expect Climate Cooling For Next 50 Years! | Principia Scientific International:
German physicists: “CO2 plays only minor role for global climate”
German physicists: “CO2 plays only minor role for global climate”
In a just published study in The Open Atmospheric Science Journal here, German scientists Horst-Joachim Lüdecke and Carl-Otto Weiss have used a large number of temperature proxies worldwide to construct a global temperature mean over the last 2000 years, dubbed G7, in order to find out more about the sun’s role on climate change.
Their results drop a huge surprise on the laps of scientists who have long believed the earth is warming due to human-emitted CO2.
...The authors used extensive local temperature proxy data [2 – 6] together with Britain’s Hadley CRU temperature records since 1870 and the recent satellite measurements and combined them to make up the global temperature time series G7 for the last 2000 years.

Also the pronounced minimum of 1450 AD, when the vines in southern France were killed by cold.
Also clearly shown by the climate curve is the warming from 1850 to 1995...
In particular, the sum of the three cycles shows the temperature increase from 1850 to 1995 as a result of the three natural cycles, the German researchers say, adding: “
Thus one can conclude that CO2 plays only a minor role (if any) for the global climate.”
Lüdecke and Weiss note that the present maximum of the cycle sum corresponds well with the world temperature stagnation since 1995 AD, the stagnation unexplained by current climate models.
As the dominant cycles have persisted for an extended time, one can assume that they will persist for the near future.
They write: “This allows to predict cooling until 2070 AD.”

Stanford University course to study ‘abolishing whiteness’ - The College Fix:
"Anthropology course will explore ‘coming to terms with white identity’
Stanford University is slated to offer a class this fall called “White Identity Politics,” during which students will “survey the field of whiteness studies” and discuss the “possibilities of … abolishing whiteness,” according to the course description.
Citing pundits who say “the 2016 Presidential election marks the rise of white identity politics in the United States,” the upper-level anthropology seminar will draw “from the field of whiteness studies and from contemporary writings that push whiteness studies in new directions.”
...“Students will consider the perils and possibilities of different political practices,” according to the course description, “including abolishing whiteness or coming to terms with white identity.”...

A solar eclipse is coming to America. Here’s what you’ll see where you live. - Vox:
"On Monday August 21, a solar eclipse will cut across the entire United States. And wherever you are, you will be able to see it. Even though the “totality” — the area where the sun is completely blocked out by the moon — is only 70 miles wide, the whole country (even Alaska and Hawaii) will experience a partial eclipse.

Even though the “totality” — the area where the sun is completely blocked out by the moon — is only 70 miles wide, the whole country (even Alaska and Hawaii) will experience a partial eclipse.
This is what you’ll see, and the time you’ll see it, in your zip code.
We recommend punching in a few different ones to see how the eclipse experience will vary across the country. Salem, Oregon (97301), is going to see a total eclipse. Downtown Los Angeles (90012) will see 62 percent of the sun blocked at the peak. In Lake Charles, Louisiana (70601), it’ll be 71 percent.
