UMass Amherst Parents Say School Suspended Students Over Maskless Off-Campus Photo

• The parents of three University of Massachusetts Amherst students who were blocked from online classes over an outdoor and maskless off-campus photo slammed the school ruling as "devastating."

"UMass Amherst school administrators enacted a zero-tolerance, "high risk" COVID-19 pandemic stance in February that led to three female freshmen being cut off from online classes and having their $16,000 in tuition voided for the entire semester. 

The suspended students' parents on Friday blasted the school's decision, which was made after someone handed administrators a photo that showed the freshman friends posing outside without masks at an off-campus event...Read all.

Walt Disney Company uses critical race theory training - TheBlaze: 

The Walt Disney Company is the latest mega-corporation to push critical race theory. The Disney empire, which has a reported net worth of $122 billion, is asking employees to complete a "white privilege checklist," and insists America was founded on "systemic racism," according to newly leaked documents.

"DEMOCRATS CAN’T QUASH THE ‘BIG LIE.

Instapundit--"DEMOCRATS CAN’T QUASH THE ‘BIG LIE.

"The “Big Lie,” of course, isn’t that the 2020 election was stolen—it’s that the election was perfectly fair and lawful.

Texas and Arizona have passed several proposals that will tighten election requirements; Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed a massive election reform bill in March that enraged Democrats across the country including Joe Biden.

Which is why Democrats, the media, and NeverTrumpers like Liz Cheney must keep the “Big Lie” taunt alive. The cowardice of congressional Republicans notwithstanding, political leadership at the state level and rank-and-file Republicans are working to ensure a redo of the 2020 election doesn’t happen again—most would rather be considered liars than craven bystanders while the country burns.

Unfortunately, the “Big Lie” faces more headwinds than just a Jake Tapper tantrum or a Liz Cheney op-ed: Joe Biden’s Justice Department is poised to use its power to halt election reform in advance of the 2022 election. During a congressional hearing this week, Attorney General Merrick Garland made clear he would use the agency’s Civil Rights division to fight Republican-backed election laws in court, especially those requiring photo identification.

“The question on voter ID is what kind of disparate impact it has on voters of different races, colors and language groups, and whether it violates the Constitution by having a disparate impact on people’s ability to vote,” Garland told a House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday. “The Supreme Court has held that voter ID as a concept is constitutional. And the issue is what, in any individual cases [sic], the record shows about whether it deprives certain groups protected by the 14th Amendment right to vote.”

One way you can start saving American liberty, personally - American Thinker

One way you can start saving American liberty, personally - American Thinker

"Liberty in America and constitutional government are currently facing their most severe crisis since the Civil War.  

The threat is posed not by foreign invasion, but by our own deluded countrymen. 

...While Americans do not need a party of communist tyranny, we do need a party that can fight effectively against the looming autocracy and for the restoration of liberty.  

Unfortunately, no such party currently exists in the United States.  

Therefore, we must either create a new one or seize an existing one.

...Republicans must not compromise on anything significant until they do it from a position of strength — and only then with a Democratic Party that has regained its sanity, if that is even possible.

...So how do we rescue the GOP from its feckless leaders?  

In the end, what is to be done?

• Fortunately, Dan Schultz, a Republican activist from Arizona, has an answer.  It is a simple strategy that he has dubbed "the Precinct Strategy" that any patriot can participate in.  He points out that merely voting for Republicans gives one no power over elected representatives.  Likewise, merely registering as a Republican gives one no more leverage.  Even donating to GOP candidates does little to influence them once in office.  
• The ordinary Republican has little influence unless he is actively engaged in Republican politics at the local level.  It's the committeemen who have all the power and influence.  Rank-and-file activists must become "Precinct Committeemen."
• Schultz explains that there are some 200,000 positions as precinct committeemen available in the party nationally, but only about 100,000 of those positions are filled. Half of them are vacant! As it is, the currently occupied positions are divided more or less evenly between moderates and conservative activists. That's why we get such feckless leadership and such clueless politicians. But, as Schultz points out, if the 100,000 vacant positions were filled by conservatives, clueless moderates would be outnumbered roughly three to one!

Anyone can volunteer.  It's easy.  Energetic patriots who understand that the fate of the nation depends on them could seize control of the party and select candidates who will determine the fate of the nation.  

So for all those who ask, "What can I do?," please, go to this website and save the nation.  

Save freedom for your children, your grandchildren, and generations yet unborn...Read all!

10 ways big-government politics and culture resemble the Soviet Union - COSAction: 

There's no question our country is headed down the wrong path. With big-government politicians in charge of the White House and Congress, Americans are rightly concerned about an increasingly totalitarian class of "elites" in D.C. But just how concerned should we be? According to historian Victor Davis Hanson, we should be very concerned. In an editorial for the Daily Signal, Hanson outlines ten ways our current political climate resembles that of the Soviet Union.

Ransomware cyberattack shuts down major US pipeline, company says - ABC News

Ransomware cyberattack shuts down major US pipeline, company says - ABC News

"A cyberattack has forced the shutdown of a major gas pipeline in the U.S. that supplies 45% of all fuel consumed on the East Coast.

The cyberattack against Colonial Pipeline, which runs from Houston to Linden, New Jersey, began 7 p.m. on Friday night, according to a Federal Emergency Management Agency report...

"We proactively took certain systems offline to contain the threat, which has temporarily halted all pipeline operations, and affected some of our IT systems," the company said in a statement.

...Colonial's network supplies fuel from U.S. refiners on the Gulf Coast to the eastern and southern U.S. and transports 2.5 million barrels a day of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other products through 5,500 miles of pipelines, the company said...Read all!

Kamala’s first foray into international diplomacy does not go well

Kamala’s first foray into international diplomacy does not go well

"Finally, six weeks after taking on the responsibility for dealing with illegal aliens swarming the southern border, Kamala announced that she would meet with the presidents of Mexico and Guatemala. 

...Except nothing went well. Kamala, whom I’ve always been told by people who know her, is as dumb as a box of rocks with the personality of an arch narcissist, managed to leave President Lopez Obrador in a towering rage, furious at American machinations and deeply offended when she simply walked out on him.

The Gateway Pundit translated ABC International’s report on the meeting (emphasis added):

Much has changed the attitude of the Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, towards the White House after the departure of Donald Trump. At his first major meeting with the US vice president, who has recently assumed the task of solving the migration crisis at the border, the Mexican president has come accusing his northern neighbor of interventionist and financier of coup plotters, to which he has added the rudeness of communicating to Kamala Harris that she was not going to stay for the entire meeting – held virtually by the pandemic – for other commitments. Even so, in the face to face, López Obrador has said: “Let’s seek understanding, don’t fight.

The bit about the coup refers to the fact that AMLO claims that Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity, a group that the U.S. funds, is plotting to overthrow him. “That’s why we’re asking that (the U.S. government) clarifies this for us. A foreign government can’t provide money to political groups.”...Read all

Treasury warns of need to deal with national debt limit

Treasury warns of need to deal with national debt limit

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department says it will employ measures to avoid an unprecedented default on the national debt this summer, but officials say those measures could be exhausted “much more quickly” than normal given the unusual circumstances of the global pandemic.

Treasury officials on Wednesday urged Congress to pass either a new borrowing limit or another suspension of the debt before a July 31 deadline. 

The Treasury will continue to initiate the types of bookkeeping maneuvers it has used in the past to keep the government from breaching a level that would trigger a default on the massive national debt.

...The national debt subject to the limit now stands at a record $28.1 trillion. 

The amount of the debt that is held by the public currently totals $22.1 trillion, an amount slightly higher than 100% of the entire economy and heights not seen since the huge borrowing the government did in the 1940s to finance World War II...Read all.

Here's How You Know Democrats Rigged and Stole the 2020 Election by Wayne Allyn Root

Here's How You Know Democrats Rigged and Stole the 2020 Election by Wayne Allyn Root

• Let me put this in terms even Democrats can understand.

"Let's say a white police officer killed a black man who did nothing wrong. 

Unlike George Floyd, this man had not committed any crime, did not resist arrest, didn't have fentanyl in his system and had no record of violent crime. 

How do the police react? 

They say the shooting was righteous. They refuse to investigate. There is bodycam footage, but they refuse to release it. And get this: They refuse to allow anyone to even talk about it. If any cop talks about it, he loses his job. If anyone in the black community talks about it, social media will suspend them or ban them for life.

What would all of that mean to you? 

Guilty as charged, right?

The police must be covering up a crime. 

No one who's innocent acts like that, right?

• Guess what? That's equivalent to the reaction (or, should I say, overreaction) of liberals, Democrats and assorted socialists and communists when Republicans make accusations of massive voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

...The fix is in. It's crystal clear to me now that not only was the election rigged but so is everything post-election. It's simple psychology. Just look at the absurd reaction, or overreaction, by Democrats.

...Who would react like that? Only guilty people.

• Here are the questions I want answered.

        -- If Democrats didn't rig and steal the election, why are they so afraid of forensic audits in key battleground states, specifically the current audit in Arizona?

        -- When Trump was an 8-to-1 landslide favorite with bettors around the world late on election night and clearly headed toward a landslide electoral victory, why did five states suddenly announce they would pause counting for the night? And how come Biden was suddenly ahead by morning?

        -- How come Michigan apparently had a dump of 149,772 votes at 6:31 a.m. on Nov. 4, 96% of which went to Biden?

        -- How did Wisconsin count 149,520 votes for Biden from 3:26 to 3:44 a.m. on Nov. 4?

        -- How come Philadelphia vote counters were so desperate to keep witnesses out of the counting room? Why did they refuse entry to witnesses (to Republicans) until those witnesses had a court order in hand?

        -- Why were the windows in a vote-counting location in Detroit covered with cardboard so nobody (no Republican) could see inside?

        -- There are videotapes filmed in Detroit of vans pulling up in the middle of the night with what obviously look like boxes of ballots. In Atlanta, there are videotapes that clearly show ballot containers appearing at a vote-counting location after a fake water main break was used to force all GOP witnesses out of the counting room. Why can't we discuss these videotapes?

        -- How come Twitter banned me for life over mentioning these videotapes?

        -- How come the Arizona Senate's liaison for the vote audit says Maricopa County hasn't complied with the subpoena by turning over passwords to Dominion voting machines?

        -- How come the Biden DOJ suddenly wants to stop the Arizona audit?...Read all!
