Penn president set for high-profile ambassador gig after paying Biden $900K for vaguely defined professor post | The College Fix

Penn president set for high-profile ambassador gig after paying Biden $900K for vaguely defined professor post | The College Fix
"The president of the University of Pennsylvania is poised to become U.S. Ambassador to Germany after paying then-Vice President Joe Biden $900,000 for a job at the Ivy League school that required no regular classes and up to 12 appearances on campus.
Penn President Amy Gutmann will likely be announced as Biden’s pick for the prime ambassadorship, raising questions about whether the slot is payback for the lucrative position Biden held at Penn after leaving the vice president’s office in 2017, according to news reports.
...Biden collected $371,159 in 2017 and $540,484 in 2018 and early 2019 for a job with
largely undefined
duties. 
The agreement also required around a dozen appearances on campus, most of which were attended by wealthy donors paying top-dollar for tickets...Read all.

At least 41% of Baltimore high school students earn below-D GPA
"Forty-one percent of Baltimore public high school students made below a D grade point average during the first three quarters of the 2020-2021 school year, according to an analysis of the district's data.
..."This is terrible," said Jovani Patterson, who ran for Baltimore City Council president in 2020. "This is just further perpetuating a cycle of poverty, of despair."

“If almost half of our kids are failing, what options do they have after high school? This is really disheartening. It's sad to see this," Patterson added...Read all.

Biden to Move Thousands MORE Afghans to Towns Near You - Refugee Resettlement Watch

Biden to Move Thousands MORE Afghans to Towns Near You - Refugee Resettlement Watch

“There is a home for you in the United States….” (but not in Delaware as that state doesn’t take refugees!)  (Joe Biden)

The Biden Administration is getting ready to airlift tens of thousands more out of Afghanistan by the end of July.

Nevermind that in the last eight years or so we admitted about 70,000 Afghan so-called interpreters and their families to the US!   How many more could there possibly be?  

...The evacuation effort, dubbed Operation Allies Refuge, will relocate Afghans who have applied for a U.S. Special Immigrant Visa and their families to a safe third country, but it is still unclear how many of these translators, guides and other contractors will be moved and to exactly where.

Yes! Muslim countries are a better choice. Keep them in their religious and cultural comfort zones!

*** For new readers, these are the nine federal refugee contractors which will be placing Joe’s 125,000 new refugees (not including border-jumping illegal aliens) beginning October 1, in addition to however many thousands more Afghans are flown into America—all on your dime!...Read all!

Toronto Police Refuse to Say Whether This 'Female' Bearded Child Molester Has Boy Parts

Toronto Police Refuse to Say Whether This 'Female' Bearded Child Molester Has Boy Parts

"These days the freaks are roaming public parks, molesting innocent children, and calling themselves “women.”

Exhibit A is “Ruby Eby,” 33, who Toronto Police say molested a six-year-old boy in a city park. Eby has been charged with sexual interference with a person under the age of 16 and sexual assault.

...In the police press release, we learn that “She is next scheduled to appear in court, at 1000 Finch Avenue West, on Wednesday, July 21, 2021, at 2 p.m., in room 301.”

Let’s take a moment to zoom in on “her” mug shot, shall we?

(Ruby Eby mug shot via Toronto Police Service)

Well, that’s odd. “Ruby” seems to have an unusual amount of facial hair for a woman, doesn’t “she”? 

...Constable Laura Brabant, a media relations officer for the TPS, was kind enough to take a stab at this pesky question. “As per the press release, the pronoun used is She, Ruby identifies as a woman,” she wrote in an email.

Huh. That’s about as clear as mud, isn’t it? I tried again...Read all.

BIDEN’S DISHONEST DEFENSE OF HIS AFGHANISTAN PULLOUT

BIDEN’S DISHONEST DEFENSE OF HIS AFGHANISTAN PULLOUT
"...For his part, Biden declared “I will not send another generation of Americans to war in Afghanistan with no reasonable expectation of achieving a different outcome.”
The dishonesty of this defense is breathtaking. 
Early this year, we had around 3,500 American troops in Afghanistan. 
In 2020, ten American troops died there. 
Only four were killed in action.
Thus, there is no question of “sending another generation of Americans to war in Afghanistan.” 
Nor would maintaining our 2020 force level there put “thousands of Americans,” much less “daughters,” at meaningful risk.
...Certainly, the Taliban hasn’t been defeated. 
However, it had been thwarted in its effort to take over the country. 
Many millions of Afghans, especially women, enjoy freedom from the unspeakable Islamist oppression that prevailed before we intervened. 
Folks who courageously sided with the U.S. against the Taliban are (or were) largely safe from reprisals.
Moreover, as far as we know, none of the terrorist organizations operating in Afghanistan — the Taliban, al Qaeda, ISIS, and whomever else — has been able to export terrorism from there to the West....Read all.

Rand Paul demands investigation into Tucker Carlson's NSA 'spying' accusations | Washington Examiner

Rand Paul demands investigation into Tucker Carlson's NSA 'spying' accusations | Washington Examiner
On Wednesday, the popular TV personality claimed the NSA illegally leaked private messages to members of the media after a report from Axios said Carlson contacted the Kremlin to arrange an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Late last month, Carlson initially alleged the NSA was spying on his program in an attempt to remove his show from on-air broadcasting. "I write to you to demand that you investigate the National Security Agency's (NSA) alleged spying and unmasking of Tucker Carlson, as well as any leaks of his private emails from the NSA to other reporters," Paul wrote in a letter to NSA Director Gen. Paul Nakasone.

DON’T TRUST CHINA. CHINA IS ASSHOLE

DON’T TRUST CHINA. CHINA IS ASSHOLE

Go Figure, China Isn’t Keeping Its Promises on Climate Change.

"Way back in 2017, I jotted a quick tweet, “if your climate plan is that I give up beef or my light SUV, but you’ve got no plan to deal with this over in China . . . I’m unpersuaded.”

The folks at Vox — the publication that launched with the slogan, “the smartest minds, the toughest questions”– took issue with that perspective, and wrote that their review of China’s policies “utterly destroy the conservative argument” and concluded, “China is waging an aggressive, multi-front campaign to clean up coal before eventually phasing it out . . . China is tackling climate change with all guns blazing. The US, not China, is the laggard in this relationship.”

Here we are, four years later, and the Vox assessment has proven spectacularly wrong.

Well, Vox.

Plus:

Earlier this year, Jordan McGillis, deputy director of policy at the Institute for Energy Research, pointed out “with its March release of a new five-year plan (FYP), the 14th in its history, China has embarrassed its climate cheerleaders in the West. Beijing’s plan institutes no carbon cap, no coal phase-out, and no roadmap by which it will execute upon Xi’s words. Despite the carbon-neutral-by-2060 pledge, the FYP emphasizes the importance of coal to China’s continued development, not the emissions that come with its use.”

China’s climate promises are for purely domestic consumption — Western domestic consumption.--Posted by

VIDEO: Cubans wave American flag, chant 'Liberty!' in mass protests against communist dictatorship - TheBlaze

Protesters in dozens of cities — from San Antonio de los Baños to Palma Soriano to the nation's capital, Havana — reportedly chanted "Liberty!" and "Freedom!" while they marched against the country's failed communist dictatorship.

"The people are dying of hunger!" one woman reportedly shouted during a demonstration in Artemisa. "Our children are dying of hunger!" Still others reportedly chanted, "We are not afraid!"

In at least one widely circulated video on social media, protesters can be seen carrying and waving the American flag as they shouted for freedom.
