A Typical High School Tells a Larger Story: Schools Are Now Dominated by the Feminist Agenda | News and Politics
A Typical High School Tells a Larger Story: Schools Are Now Dominated by the Feminist Agenda | News and Politics"Recently, my wife Janice posted a video in her Fiamengo File series about an Ottawa school, Brookfield High, that had launched a ManUp campaign, complete with posters targeting males as prone to evil and females as innocent victims.
“Judging from the displays,” she states, “Brookfield High goes out of its way to make girls feel welcome through positive messaging; boys, in contrast, are set apart to be lectured and shamed about male evil.”
The poster, which reads When you stand back and watch evil, you’re standing by it, “strongly reinforces the grim mood…
The clear implication is that this boy…WILL encounter ‘evil’ at his school—not amidst the slutty girls who tempt him…but amidst the other boys who will supposedly do bad things to girls and condone violence.”...

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot hires private security operator married to lobbyist to run her security detail - Chicago Tribune
"New Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s security detail will be headed up by a former U.S. marshal who’s married to a city lobbyist for United Airlines, in a departure from Chicago mayors traditionally relying on city police officers to keep them safe.
James Smith is a managing partner at Silver Star Protection Group.
...Lightfoot’s administration will look to Smith to coordinate her security rather than relying primarily on the Chicago Police Department.
It was unclear Tuesday how Smith would be paid.
...She did not respond to questions about whether it’s appropriate for the person running the mayor’s security detail to be married to a corporate lobbyist.
Lightfoot campaigned on a pledge to end the influence of political insiders at City Hall..."

Devin Nunes: Mueller knew there was no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion on day one
Devin Nunes: Mueller knew there was no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion on day one:
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., went further than Attorney General William Barr to answer the question of when special counsel Robert Mueller knew there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
In an interview that aired Friday on Fox News, Barr said he "couldn't say."
Appearing after Barr, Nunes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, was not so hesitant.

Where were you that day?-----Flight 191: 40 years later -- Chicago Tribune
Flight 191: 40 years later -- Chicago Tribune"As 258 passengers filed on to American Airlines Flight 191 at O’Hare International Airport the Friday before Memorial Day in 1979, nothing suggested that they would never reach Los Angeles.
They would have listened to the flight attendant instruct them how to buckle the seat belt and where to find the emergency exits.
None of that would matter.
As the three-engine McDonnell Douglas DC-10 accelerated down the runway, reaching takeoff speed, the left engine broke away, vaulting over the aircraft’s wing.
The pilots heard a thunk.
“Damn,” one of the pilots said.
It would be the last word captured by the cockpit voice recorder.
...How the crash happened..."

Here’s How The Asylum System Is Being Exploited | The Daily Caller
Here’s How The Asylum System Is Being Exploited | The Daily Caller:
Tens of thousands of apprehended migrants from the Central American countries driving the border crisis exploit loopholes in the immigration system by making false asylum claims, according to data, experts and surveys.
The loopholes allow “people with suspect asylum claims … to make their way into the interior of the United States and disappear,” one expert told The Daily Caller News Foundation. Data shows only about half of the migrants from those countries who claim asylum actually file a formal application after being let into the U.S.

5 Telltale Signs That You’re a Sapiosexual | Intellectual Takeout:
My best friend and myself have discussed in the past how different we are when it comes to the women that we find attractive.
While we can usually agree on people who are conventionally beautiful, our personal tastes seem to be on entirely opposite ends of the spectrum.
- Never underestimate the sex appeal of intelligence.
My best friend and myself have discussed in the past how different we are when it comes to the women that we find attractive. While we can usually agree on people who are conventionally beautiful, our personal tastes seem to be on entirely opposite ends of the spectrum.
When it comes to finding a partner, however, there is usually one trait that sticks out for both of us, and that’s intelligence.
A beautiful mind never goes underrated.
And if you’re a sapiosexual, then you’re probably like us–you value a person’s mind over their body.

Dobson rips 'thinly veiled death sentence to 1st Amendment' - WND
Dobson rips 'thinly veiled death sentence to 1st Amendment' - WND:
Now it’s the U.S. Congress, where the House last week adopted the Equality Act.
It is nothing less than “a thinly veiled death sentence to the First Amendment to the Constitution,” James Dobson Family Institute founder James Dobson warned on Monday.
“In the history of our nation, there have been times when evil was so apparent – and so heinous – that they stand in infamy decades later. They include the Dred Scott Decision on slavery in 1857, and the Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion in 1973. Now, we are faced with another such tragic moment in American history,” he said.

Walter E. Williams---Socialism Promises a Utopia, but Delivers Suffering
Socialism Promises a Utopia, but Delivers Suffering: - Presidential contenders are in a battle to out-give one another.
"Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., proposes a whopping $50,000 per student college loan forgiveness. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., proposes free health care for all Americans plus illegal aliens.
Most Democratic presidential candidates promise free stuff that includes free college, universal income, “Medicare for All,” and debt forgiveness.
Their socialist predecessors made promises, too.
- “Freedom and Bread” was the slogan used by Adolf Hitler during the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi) campaign against President Paul von Hindenburg.
- Hitler even promised, “In the Third Reich every German girl will find a husband.”
- Stalin promised a great socialist-Marxist society that included better food and better worker conditions.
- China’s Mao Zedong promised democratic constitutionalism and the dream that “farmers have land to till.” These, and other promises, gave Mao the broad political support he needed to win leadership of the entire country in 1949.
Socialism promises a utopia that sounds good, but those promises are never realized..."

Which Major West Coast City Is Being Overwhelmed By Rats, Drugs, Crime, Piles Of Garbage And Hordes Of Homeless People?
Which Major West Coast City Is Being Overwhelmed By Rats, Drugs, Crime, Piles Of Garbage And Hordes Of Homeless People?"Can you name the major west coast city that has become a rotting, decaying hellhole and is being completely overwhelmed by rats, drugs, crime, piles of garbage and hordes of homeless people?
Of course San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, “all of them” and “any of them” would all be correct answers, but in this article we are going to talk about Los Angeles.
Once upon a time, millions of young Americans flocked to “sunny L.A.” in order to experience “the California Dream”, but these days Los Angeles seems to be on the cutting edge of many of our most critical societal problems. L.A. has been known for Hollywood, the porn industry and world class traffic congestion, but now it is also becoming famous for “rat-infested piles of rotting garbage”…
Rat-infested piles of rotting garbage left uncollected by the city of Los Angeles, even after promises to clean it up, are fueling concerns about a new epidemic after last year’s record number of flea-borne typhus cases..." Read all.

Meadows Says Declassification Of Russia Probe Documents Is ‘Right Around The Corner’ | The Daily Caller:
North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows said important documents relating to the origins of the counterintelligence investigation into President Donald Trump’s campaign will be released soon on Monday.
The House Oversight Committee member responded to the former committee chair Trey Gowdy’s comments that the FBI possibly withheld “game-changing” evidence regarding the origins of the Russia probe. Meadows said he agreed with Gowdy that former Trump campaign associate George Papadopoulos was being taped and recorded by FBI informants and that the unreleased transcript was never released to the FISA court, in an appearance on Fox News.

Why Is Fat a Feminist Issue? | News and Politics
"In a speech on the topic of “radical fat liberation” jointly sponsored by the Women and Gender Studies Department and the Center for Equity and Inclusion (what else?) at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, the prodigiously overweight Sonalee Rashatwar, a self-proclaimed Fat Sex Therapist, compared fitness trainers to Nazis, defined child dieting as sexual assault, attributed the Christchurch shooting to ‘thin” white supremacism, and condemned science as “fataphobic” for “promoting the idea that certain bodies are fit, able and desirable.”
She wonders, rhetorically, “is it my fatness that causes my high blood pressure, or is it my experience of weight stigma?”
She goes on to blame the Reagan administration for having refused to provide “social supports that also help me to subsidize my food costs.”
...Rashatwar, of course, is not alone in pursuing her redemptive mission.
Fat is big in the feminist Weltanschauung..."
