A Replacement for Soros Emerges - Deep State Rabbit Hole
- Soros is out, who’s next?
"...Just when you thought there couldn’t be anyone slimier than George Soros, it turns out that someone equally evil is about to take over right where George left off. Someone has to handle all the high finance at the top to make sure it properly trickles down to the grass roots.
...The big thing George Soros is known for are the “Open Societies Foundations” he founded. Those will be in good hands under Baron George Mark Malloch Brown. Wyss, it seems, will probably be his new boss. It’s also probably why a lot of big news has been coming out of Switzerland lately...Read all

"...Any questions about where Democrats want to take us?"
Dan Anthone
"This is what happens when you vote for Democrats to control the Colorado House, Senate and Governor's office. It is purely Orwellian:
The state of Colorado wants all large businesses in the metro Denver area to track what their employees do before and after work when it comes to commuting.
It wants those employers to “increase parking charges” for gas-powered vehicles, appoint an “Employee Transportation Coordinator” to administer programs that reduce “single occupied vehicle” commutes and offer fully or partially subsidized public transportation passes – even if the business is nowhere near any.
Any questions about where Democrats want to take us?"

WATCH Glenn Beck's EPIC takedown of leftist LIES about America, at CPAC 2021 - TheBlaze:
Did you know that New England was the first major population in the world to abolish slavery, doing so nearly 30 years before Britain passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1780? Did you know that, of the 12.7 million Africans who were enslaved during the transatlantic slave trade from 1501 to 1875, only 2.4% were brought to the United States? The remaining more than 10 million enslaved people went to Portuguese, English, French, Spanish, and Dutch holdings. Did you know that there are over 40 million people around the globe who are enslaved right now? Why are we arguing about people who were enslaved hundreds of years ago instead of freeing people today?
We live in dangerous times.

The Macro Subjectivity of 'Microaggression' Studies | RealClearInvestigations
The Macro Subjectivity of 'Microaggression' Studies | RealClearInvestigations
"Ever since the most blatant forms of racism and discrimination in America faded, what are called microaggressions have, in the view of leftist academics and social justice activists, taken their place. These are “a form of racism,” the slights and insults that, though subtle and small and typically unconscious, are insulting and harmful to their targets.
Part 2 of a Series on 'Social Justice' Research (Part 1 here)
As noted by Edward Cantu and Lee Jussim -- respectively, a law professor at the University of Missouri and a professor of social psychology at Rutgers -- microaggressions are a hot topic, as universities, diversity trainers, and others are “operationalizing” the microaggression idea “as if it were the product of rigorous science.”
Are you dissing me?
But in an exhaustive analysis of the research supporting the “current microaggression construct,” or CMC, Cantu and Jussim find that a microaggression is basically what a microaggression researcher subjectively believes it to be, with almost nothing in the way of scientific evidence that racism is embedded in it or that its alleged victims even see it as racist or harmful...Read all.
