Do not send your kids to these hate-driven loony-bins!-----Colorado Professor Claims That 'White Supremacy' is Causing Black People to Attack Asians

Colorado Professor Claims That 'White Supremacy' is Causing Black People to Attack Asians
"A critical race studies and ethnic studies professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder is continuing to spread the lie that “white supremacy” is causing black people to attack Asians.
Professor Jennifer Ho wrote an article for The Conversation entitled “White supremacy is the root of all race-related violence in the US.”
According to a report from Campus Reform, the nutty professor claims that even though “Black people are also attacking Asian Americans,” White people “are the main perpetrators of anti-Asian racism.”
Ho was previously President of the Association for Asian American studies and director of the Center for Humanities and the Arts.

How Apple gives into China while pushing back against the US

How Apple gives into China while pushing back against the US
"Free-world CEOs, presidents and prime ministers are now being forced by China to make fundamental choices. 
Do they stand for free speech, the rule of law and human rights — or for primarily making money?
Over the past 30 years, Western leaders have dreamed they lived in an earthly paradise where they could stand for both. 
But the ruling Communist Party of China under paramount leader Xi Jinping is now making it increasingly clear that if you want to do business with his country, you’d best embrace the party line.
Take Apple. 
...In 2001, Apple closed its California production lines, dismissed its American workers and moved production to China, where investment subsidies were high, wages low, and labor unions and environmental rules nonexistent. 
Apple has since admitted to avoiding $41 billion in US taxes...Read all.

The incident took place just before 10 p.m. outside Sushi Fumi on North La Cienega Boulevard in the Beverly Grove neighborhood, the station said — and portions of the attack were captured on cellphone video.

A witness told KTLA she was sitting with a group of friends when the caravan displaying Palestinian flags drove by and began shouting at diners.

Sometimes a Great Notion | The Pipeline-- Clarice Feldman

Sometimes a Great Notion | The Pipeline

"...In a 287 page tract  which analyzes scores of data  it notes that the plan relies on mining industries and infrastructure for “energy transition minerals”(ETMs) which do not exist:

The IEA finds that with a global energy transition like the one President Biden envisions, demand for key minerals such as lithium, graphite, nickel and rare-earth metals would explode, rising by 4,200%, 2,500%, 1,900% and 700%, respectively, by 2040.

Not only are these industries and technologies non-existent, but the lavishly funded proposed transition  provides nothing to fund and build them.

Worse news for those believing this transition will provide environmental benefits, “the world would face daunting environmental, economic and social challenges, along with geopolitical risks” if it proceeds with this plan...

Here are some of the environmental consequences of  the necessary considerable  increase in mining ETMs...Read all!

Yes, they are fools. But hate-driven fools who are "teaching" our children!-----'Eco-Feminists' vs. 'Toxic' Reality | The Pipeline

'Eco-Feminists' vs. 'Toxic' Reality | The Pipeline
  • “If civilization had been left in female hands,” wrote Camilla Paglia in her 1990 book Sexual Personae, “we would still be living in grass huts.”
Feminists have often retorted that patriarchal societies prevented women from exercising their artistic, scientific, and technological gifts—and that women’s true capabilities in these areas are still not fully known because of ongoing sexism.
...Writing from her air-conditioned room in an ivory tower designed, built, and maintained by men, intersectional feminist Kosovac believes that the days of exerting control over nature through dams, water pipelines, and sewer networks are largely over: the time has come, she writes almost mystically, “to reassess the old methods and explore new ways in our relationship with water.” 
In her view, masculine over-reliance on “technological and infrastructure ‘fixes’” is preventing Australians from “work[ing] in tandem with the environment” to address the country’s water needs.
...Kosovac alleges that Australia is suffering both politically and ecologically from “toxic masculinity.” 
This is a now-standard feminist phrase striking for its bigotry and intellectual incoherence...Read all.

Biden calls Coast Guard grads 'really dull' when they don't clap during his commencement address: 'C'mon man! Is the sun gettin' to ya?' - TheBlaze

President Joe Biden was up to his old tricks during his commencement address for U.S. Coast Guard graduates Wednesday, letting loose with a short-fused pointed put-down when they didn't applaud him on cue. "I can only assume that you will enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is, quote, the hard nucleus around the Navy formed in times of war," Biden said during the ceremony in New London, Connecticut, which was his first commencement address as president. But when Biden's words elicited nothing but silence, he broke through the lull with one of his famous unscripted verbal punches.

And our lawyer-armed enviro-wackos!

Minneapolis Spirals Downward | Power Line
"When Americans think of failed cities, places like Portland, Seattle, Detroit and Baltimore come to mind. 
But Minneapolis is, at a minimum, flirting with a similar status. 
The problem is out-of-control crime. 
Last Saturday night, six people were shot in Minneapolis, including a nine-year-old girl. Alpha News has the straight story:

A nine-year-old Minneapolis girl is in the hospital after she was struck by gunfire over the weekend, making her the second child to be shot in the city in under a month.  The girl was shot in the head while she played with friends on a trampoline around 8:30 p.m. Saturday...

...Far-left City Council President Lisa Bender attended the Mayor and Police Chief’s press conference and found it puzzling. Incredibly, she still thinks the problem that needs to be addressed in Minneapolis is “police violence”:

Minneapolis is in desperate trouble, and there is no sign that the people now running the city have any ability to solve the city’s problems...Read all.

Rand Paul Takes Victory Lap Over Arch-Nemesis Anthony Fauci - Louder With Crowder

Rand Paul Takes Victory Lap Over Arch-Nemesis Anthony Fauci - Louder With Crowder
Rand Paul has been smacking around Anthony Fauci's smug little face for months. To the dismay of everyone in the media with a velvet painting of Fauci that they surround with candles and pray to five times a day. Rand Paul would challenge Anthony Fauci to back up what he says with data. The infallible Pope Tony would accuse Rand of "theatrics." The media would say, "Yeah, what Fauci said!" So when the sciencey Fauci admitted in so many words that he masks up just for show, Senator Paul had a little somethin' somethin' to say about it.

Michigan Cannot Determine Whether Some COVID-19 Deaths Originated at Nursing Homes
  • Charlie LeDuff settles FOIA lawsuit against the state health department
MIDLAND, Mich. — Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff, represented by the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation, has reached a settlement agreement with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services after it failed to provide public records as required by law. 
After noticing that state data was showing a growing number of deaths reported from reviews of vital records, LeDuff submitted a Freedom of Information Act request asking for the ages of those who had died, the date of death, when each death was added to the state total and whether any of those deaths were the results of contracting COVID-19 at a long-term care facility. 
MDHHS failed to produce the records in response to the request, so LeDuff contacted the Mackinac Center to represent him in a FOIA lawsuit...Read all.

Latino reporter cancels interview with Chicago mayor after she declares she will talk to only 'black or brown journalists' - TheBlaze
The fallout among the general public was pretty strident, with many commenters wondering just how the media would react if a white mayor did something similar to minority members of the media. One high-profile Latino journalist in the Windy City took serious issue with the mayor's new discriminatory policy and told her staff to cancel his upcoming interview with Lightfoot when they informed him the mayor would not be lifting her racial conditions.

Kid Who Lit Up School Board Over Masks Joins Tucker Carlson - Louder With Crowder

Kid Who Lit Up School Board Over Masks Joins Tucker Carlson - Louder With Crowder
Faith in humanity was restored Tuesday by this viral video of a ten-year-old telling the school board and his teachers where to stick their masks. We now know this lil' patriot's name: John Provenzano. To be clear, since Facebook's "fact" checkers don't feel opposing viewpoints should be seen or heard, ten-year-old John is NOT a scientist. Nothing in this post is meant to imply we should make decisions based on the opinion of a kid. We're not leftists listening to Greta Thunberg. Provenzano is still awesome though. It's no surprise that this junior Tucker Carlson went on the senior's show to share his story.
