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.

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.

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
- “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.”
...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.”

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
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.

Why conservatives think journalism is rigged against them | The College Fix
"....The embarrassment was so thorough that the paper eventually stopped sending me letters-to-the-editor to edit but kept paying me for editing that page.
I didn’t protest because we were nearing the end of the year anyway, and the point had been made.
But perhaps not well enough made.
...Once a year, the student council picked the editor of the paper, and the school’s vice president of something-or-other had a veto.
I went up for editor of the paper for the next year...
If you guessed that I lost out to the copy editor who had penned the counterpoint article and, at the very least, done a terrible job on the edits of the point article, well then you win something special.
You are also probably a conservative...Read all.
