NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo also threatened action against schools, conferences and the NCAA if they continue to use the term “student-athlete,” saying that it was created to disguise the employment relationship with college athletes and discourage them from pursuing their rights...Read all!

Operation Lone Star: Texas Calls for Volunteers to Hold the Line at Southern Border
Operation Lone Star: Texas Calls for Volunteers to Hold the Line at Southern Border:
With the recent flood of Haitian illegal immigrants a constant reminder of the precarious nature of border safety in Joe Biden’s America, Texas is calling for volunteers to help secure its border.
Officials of the Texas Military Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety have issued a call for State Guard members to volunteer to protect Texas through Operation Lone Star, a state-funded effort launched this spring by Gov. Greg Abbott to pick up the slack when federal officials allowed the border to become a sieve.
“We are still looking for Texas Guardsmen to support Operation Lone Star. Please help us stop human trafficking, smuggling, and illegal border crossings while we are #securingtexas Lodging and per diem included,” the department wrote in a Twitter post last week.

Britain's Coming Winter Energy Crisis | City Journal
- This winter, the U.K.’s wrongheaded energy policy may test public devotion to environmentalism.--Theodore Dalrymple
My guess is that it is not terribly deep.
There is much talk of a coming energy crisis if the winter is severe.
There is much talk of a coming energy crisis if the winter is severe.
A possibility exists that the lights will go out, factories will close, and hot water and central heating will be lacking.
A population unused to such hardships may express its discontent by means not wholly peaceful or constitutional...Read all.

Must read!!-----The Forcible Conversion to COVIDism - American Thinker--Fay Voshell
The Forcible Conversion to COVIDism - American Thinker
It strikes one that the ever-changing rituals pronounced by such entities as the CDC and WHO have become not only arbitrary and increasingly revelatory of dubious and ever-changing science, but also evocative more of religious practices than of rational, scientific measures.
"...Now forced vaccination and possibly vaccine passports have been added to the list of requirements deemed necessary for establishing and maintaining national health.
...Devotees of COVIDism are acknowledging by their repetitious and symbolic rituals a higher power as well—that of the almighty State.
Fear is often the chief impetus behind the establishment of a political religion of the State, which requires rituals indicating obedience. As Jason Christoff has put it:
To effectively brainwash and mind control a population you first need fear. ... The tyrant is best served by being in control of the fear plus manufacturing the ritual that removes the fear. That pre-manufactured ritual will in turn trick the public into participating in their own enslavement and brings them willingly into the iron grip of the tyrant.
...it is increasingly apparent that the fear of the virus and almost superstitious practices have been factors in the rise of the cult of COVIDism, which in turn has become a useful tool for establishing the State's control over every sector of society and every aspect of life.
It is also perfectly clear the governing priestly elite foisting their quasi-religious rituals on the masses are miraculously immune from a virus that discerns who are the pure sheep of the church of COVIDism and who are the deplorably diseased goats.
The high priests partying at the Obama birthday bash on Martha's Vineyard, at the Met Gala, and at the Emmys do not have to wear masks. Nor do they have to observe the rules of social distancing once reserved for lepers and others deemed unclean...Read all.

A museum lent an artist $84K — so he kept the money and called it 'art'
"...The frame should have been filled with around 550.000 Danish kroner in cash, which is supposed to match the average annual salary in respectively Austria and Denmark.
Yet, when the art pieces arrived at the museum in Aalborg last week and staff members began unpacking the frames, there was no money in sight, only the empty frames and the tape, which was supposed to hold the money in place.
Danish artist Jens Haaning is currently in possession of the cash that should have been inside the frames...Read all!
Comedian Destroys Joe Biden Voters for Pretending - Louder With Crowder
Comedian Destroys Joe Biden Voters for Pretending - Louder With Crowder:
In 2020, voters had a choice. At its most cynical, the choice was between a guy who was a jerk on Twitter and a guy who is (allegedly) a dementia patient. The (alleged) dementia patient won. Voters were led to believe that voting for the (alleged) dementia patient would bring unity to America. Instead, we wound up with Joe Biden as president (and/or the people who control Biden) and the mess 2021 has become. Polls show Biden's approval deteriorating faster than Biden's continence. But there are some people who believe voting for Biden was NOT a mistake.
Have you ever tried having a conversation with any of these people? Comedian JP Sears thinks it may go a little something like this.

Secondhand clothes are sign of ‘white privilege’, students told
- Wearing second-hand clothes and swearing are now indicative of white privilege, according to a newly introduced course for students at the University of Kent.
"Students at the university, regardless of the course they study or whether they are an undergraduate or a postgraduate, have been recommended a four-hour course covering topics such as white privilege, microaggressions and pronouns.
...the course includes a white privilege quiz in which participants are asked to pick, from a list, 13 options all of which are societal benefits supposedly enjoyed by white people living in the UK.
Those who correctly select all the answers are awarded a gold star...Read all.
