Using cancel-culture as THE weapon to shout down ANY dissent!-----Today’s blacklisted American: Football coach fired for criticizing Democrat
Today’s blacklisted American: Football coach fired for criticizing Democrat"They’re coming for you next:
An offensive line coach at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga (UTC), Chris Malone, was fired just two days after he posted a tweet strongly criticizing failed Democrat candidate for governor Stacy Abrams and her part in what the coach perceived as election fraud in Georgia.
He is now suing the school and the individuals involved in his firing.
- Malone’s tweet: Congratulations to the state GA and Fat Albert @staceyabrams because you have truly shown America the true works of cheating in an election, again!!! Enjoy the buffet Big Girl!! You earned it!!! Hope the money is good, still not governor!
- The school’s immediate reaction: “Last night, a totally inappropriate social media post by a member of our football staff was brought to my attention. The entire post was appalling. The sentiments in that post do not represent the values of our football program, our Athletics department or our University,” AD Mark Wharton said at the time. “With that said, effective immediately, that individual is no longer a part of the program.”...Read all!

Tech audit of Colonial Pipeline found 'glaring' problems | Design and Development Today
- Consultants suggested that "an eighth-grader could have hacked into that system."
BOSTON (AP) — An outside audit three years ago of the major East Coast pipeline company hit by a cyberattack found “atrocious” information management practices and “a patchwork of poorly connected and secured systems,” its author told The Associated Press.
“We found glaring deficiencies and big problems,” said Robert F. Smallwood, whose consulting firm delivered an 89-page report in January 2018 after a six-month audit. “I mean an eighth-grader could have hacked into that system.”
How far the company, Colonial Pipeline, went to address the vulnerabilities isn't clear...Read all.

Why We Can't Have Unity
Why We Can't Have Unity
Collective Identity is why we can't have Unity.
- Trump didn't divide the country. Let's get that out of the way first. There's several things that have divided us but the people who get elected are only the symptoms.
Don't believe me?
1) Dealing with groups is tempting because it's a force multiplier, and we've had "group politics" forever, but it's reached a tipping point. Everyone is considered primarily their group identity.
2) A failure to buy into this group identity ideology has been framed as racism. So we're told to believe that people with ideological differences or who question dividing everyone into group identities are not just people with different opinions, they are evil. Even arguing against the focus on group identity will get you called a racist.
3) Group identity defines nearly everything. Racism, right and wrong are no longer defined by actions or attitudes, at least by a critical percentage of the population. Right, wrong, and racism are now defined by group membership or affiliation.
- Punching isn't wrong, for example, depending on who you punch.
- Violent protest isn't wrong, for example, depending on what you protest.
- Racism isn't wrong, for example, depending on who you are racist against.
- And our LAWS also seem increasingly to depend on who you are and your group membership or affiliation...Read all!

U.S. Airlines May Start Weighing Passengers At The Gate - View from the Wing
"U.S. airlines may need to start weighing passengers in order to comply with FAA rules.
For safety reasons, carriers need to calculate an aircraft’s weight and balance, and it has to be within allowable limits for the plane.
However the assumptions they’ve been using for passengers are outdated.
Americans are getting fatter, and the federal government wants airlines to find out how much fatter their passengers have gotten, at least for smaller aircraft.
Americans are getting fatter, and the federal government wants airlines to find out how much fatter their passengers have gotten, at least for smaller aircraft.
- The FAA realizes that passenger weight can vary by route and airlines may want to document this difference.
- Standard weights may not be appropriate for smaller planes, with smaller sample size and greater likelihood of variance from average...Read all.

"...Given the extraordinary and ongoing threats to the life and safety of the governor and her family, we do not generally comment on the governor's personal schedule," Whitmer Chief of Staff JoAnne Huls said in a memo to Whitmer's team that was first reported by Michigan Information & Research Service Inc. and released to the news media.
"However, I fully expect Republican party officials will continue to make political attacks against the governor and her family, so I wanted you to have the facts."

Democrat Looks to Censure Republicans Who Disagree With January 6 Narrative
"Rhode Island Democrat David Cicilline is asking colleagues to sign on to a resolution that would censure three House Republicans for trying to minimize the events surrounding the January 6 riot at the Capitol.
Censure is a very serious matter.
Only expulsion from Congress would be a worse punishment.
If Democrats are going to censure Republicans for downplaying what happened on 1/6, what should the punishment be for hysterically overexaggerating what happened at the riot?...Read all!

Study: Coral Numbers Show Climate-Related Extinction Threat Is Non-Existent | Climate Change Dispatch
"That climate change threatens the extinction of coral reefs is among the least well-founded but most persistent assertions made by climate alarmists.
In truth, scientists have previously had no clear population count of how many individual corals and coral species existed worldwide.
However, new research described in an article on Phys.org, titled “Half a trillion corals: World-first coral count prompts rethink of extinction risks,” places the number of corals in the Pacific Ocean alone at more than half a trillion.
There are likely trillions more worldwide.
The scientists involved in the research say the sheer number of corals and coral species means the risk of extinction due to climate change is vastly lower than previously claimed.

AP CEO Weighs in on Whether They Knew Hamas Was In Their Building in Gaza
"...I’m not sure that admitting to being ignorant is a best take for the AP to have here. Kind of makes everyone think you really aren’t very good at your job. You know, that whole journalism thing, or that they’re just not wanting to admit that they knew. If the choice is between believing Israeli intelligence and the AP, I’m going to go with the Israeli intelligence.
...But let’s recall the way that they responded during the BLM/Antifa riots, with millions of dollars in property destruction.
Suddenly they realized that property destruction does matter — when it’s their own. But the destruction of the property of Americans apparently didn’t matter, when the AP had no problem with the ideology of those doing the destruction...Read all.
