U. Florida class examines ‘white terror’ in Frankenstein and other classics

• Course is taught by professor who wrote dissertation about ‘horrifying whiteness’

"A University of Florida African American Studies course interprets the horror genre based on “racial identity and oppression” while using materials on “whiteness,” “black feminism,” and “queering personhood.”...
Part of this inquiry includes reading an academic article titled, “The Power and Horror of Whiteness,” which argues that Poe was “haunted” by black people based on his fiction writings...

Jacob Chansley Was Sought Out -- And Then Sold Out -- By A Bastardization of the Criminal Justice System

• "Due Process" Is Among the Most Inspired Phrases Adopted by the Founders -- As the Injustice Done to Jacob Chansley Demonstrates: What Process Was Due?

“Well, he did it so what’s the big deal?”
This kind of rationalization for short-cutting the procedural safeguards guaranteed defendants in criminal cases by the Bill of Rights — hence the name — is part of the corrosion that is destroying faith in the criminal justice system.
On April 27, 2023, I filed on Jake’s behalf a “Motion to Vacate, Correct, or Set Aside” his sentence under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255...

Christian mother of 4-year-old forced to partake in LGBT ritual vows to appeal judge's ruling in discrimination suit - TheBlaze

Christian mother of 4-year-old forced to partake in LGBT ritual vows to appeal judge's ruling in discrimination suit - TheBlaze: 

A Christian couple took a London school to court after it reportedly coerced their 4-year-old into participating in an LGBT activist parade. The presiding judge ultimately ruled against Christian parents Izoduwa and Shane Montague, claiming that the activist ritual did not advance "LGBT issues over other lifestyle forms" and was actually aligned with their Christian beliefs. He also underlined the importance of teaching LGBT issues in schools to ensure that "those who adhere to that lifestyle" receive a favorable treatment.

Report - Carlson Gearing Up to 'Torch' Fox News: 'He Wants His Freedom': 

Sources say former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is gearing up to push the outlet into letting him continue his career elsewhere.

The Culture of Staying Sick

Facebook: Spoonies: The Culture of Staying Sick
"Those who are sick and extremely online look for a community that understands them—one that accepts them and their various diseases. 

These individuals are referred to as "spoonies" online. 

In many cases, spoonies have been sick for a very long time. 

• And since their identity revolves around their sickness, it's hard for them to imagine a world in which they are cured.

“You may not be interested in culture war, but culture war is interested in you”

“You may not be interested in culture war, but culture war is interested in you”

• As @GovRonDeSantis said — if you’re demanding that I pretend a man is a woman, you are making me complicit in a lie. We don’t have to accept that.
• If taking pornography out of kids’ schools is fighting a “culture war,” then that is a war that needs to be fought.

Biden Opens Doorway for 350,000 Migrants from Mexico

Biden Opens Doorway for 350,000 Migrants from Mexico: 

President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief is widening a semi-legal door in the border to admit 1,000 people per day — or 350,000 people per year — from Mexico, despite Congress’s cap on migration numbers.

The announcement by border chief Alejandro Mayorkas comes shortly before he lifts the Title 42 border barrier, and it is intended to help avoid another PR disaster like the Del Rio arrival of perhaps 30,000 Haitian migrants in September 2021.

What Happens To A Country That Loses Its Mind? - I & I Editorial Board

"To see biological males win “woman of the year” awards and others compete against women in sports, and at least one paid to promote sports bras, it’s obvious the American mind has slipped a few gears. But our current troubles are about more than celebrating what is clearly a mental illness that needs to be treated. 

We have lost our way almost entirely across the board.

• The federal debt is heading to $31.7 trillion like a freight train at full throttle with no brakes. Spending is outpacing revenue by more than $1.5 trillion. 
• Social Security is headed for collapse sooner than its appointed guardians had expected...
• Washington is also at the axis of weaponized government. Free speech is being crushed, dissent from the left’s political agenda is considered an imprisonable offense, and court rulings are to be ignored if they offend progressive sensibilities (yes, we know, two words that don’t belong together). 
• The Democrats see the IRS not as just a revenue collector but also as a truncheon with which to discipline those who refuse to live under their boots. 
• Parents who grouse at school board meetings? They are of course terrorists who must be watched....

Lunch video-----What happened in Sweden once Muslims got their feet under the table there

"Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains all seem able to refrain from making demands upon a society to which they emigrate and from making a nuisance of themselves. 

If only the case were the same with Muslims.

Women's Clothing Brand Anthropologie Features Male Model, Disables Comments After Getting Slammed by Customers

Women's Clothing Brand Anthropologie Features Male Model, Disables Comments After Getting Slammed by Customers: 

The ad featured male model Harper Watters twirling in dresses.

Anthropologie customers took to the comment section to inform the women’s clothing brand that they are not interested in seeing men dance in dresses.

The company then disabled comments for the post, so customers took to the comment sections of other posts to continue slamming the brand.

“Seriously? I don’t want to see a man’s bulge as he’s twirling in a dress,” one Instagram user wrote. “This is not the way to go Anthropologie. Looks like my recent purchases are going back to the store.”

Teachers union resolution: Capitalism ‘exploits children, public schools’

Teachers union resolution: Capitalism ‘exploits children, public schools’ - DAVE HUBER - ASSOCIATE EDITOR

"The Colorado branch of the National Education Association recently was offered a resolution which states it believes capitalism “requires exploitation of children [and] public schools.”

• The original Colorado Education Association resolution, submitted by history teacher Bryan Lindstrom, states that “the only way to fully address systemic racism, climate change, patriarchy, education [and] income inequality is to dismantle capitalism and replace it with a new, equitable economic system.”
• The final version slightly alters the above to “Capitalism is in opposition to fully addressing systemic racism, climate change, patriarchy, and education [and] income inequality.”

The National Education Association is the largest teachers union in the country...
