A nation of wimps!-----First domino? Texas university announces it’s starting fall semester almost entirely online
First domino? Texas university announces it’s starting fall semester almost entirely online
...including two “principle adjustments:
- ‘Unfortunately, the Delta variant has proven more contagious than previous strains,’ school leaders said
"The leadership of the University of Texas San Antonio sent an email to staff, faculty, and students Wednesday saying that because of COVID fears, at least the first three weeks of the fall semester will be an online experience for the vast majority of students.
1) Most courses will be held online for the first three weeks of the semester.
2) A mandatory COVID-19 testing requirement will be put into place for students, faculty and staff.
The explanation of the first point makes it clear that “most courses” practically means “all.”...Read all.

...So, when all else fails, blame racism or sexism, or both.
That seems to be the strategy the support team has settled on. The L.A. Times has an article on Kamala’s low approval rating.
...So, when all else fails, blame racism or sexism, or both.
...Kamala’s women supporters think there are sexist overtones to her press coverage, much like that of Hillary. Really?
That’s a trope that Hillary Clinton used in both her run against Obama in the Democrat primary in 2008 and then in the presidential campaign against Trump in 2016.

DeSantis Won't PayOfficials Who Force Your Kids into Masks - Louder With Crowder
DeSantis Won't PayOfficials Who Force Your Kids into Masks - Louder With Crowder:
America's Governor Ron DeSantis has declared no more local mask mandates in Florida. If YOU want to wear a mask, God bless. But you can't force other people to refuse service to people who don't. Some local school boards are trying to step to him and say they are going to mandate kids wear masks anyway. So, DeSantis says if they do, they won't be getting paid.

I'm a Jew. I now understand just a little of what it felt like to be a Jew in 1938.
No, it's not the Holocaust.
Nothing can be compared to the Holocaust.
Ever.
But 1938 was not the Holocaust.
But 1938 was not the Holocaust.
It was the pre-Holocaust.
It was the time before the nightmare, when the foundation was being laid to destroy the freedom, free speech, businesses and lives of millions of Jews.
Everything happening today to the American people ... to the U.S. Constitution ... to freedom ... and particularly to unvaccinated Americans reminds me of 1938.

Subway Franchises Demand Company Drop Megan Rapinoe= - Louder With Crowder:
Marketing 101 teaches it's not a smart idea for your product to be represented by someone most of your customer base hates. Marketing 2021 teaches to screw your customers, and instead pander to woke political activists so that they don't get Twitter to say mean things about you. Subway only took the later course and is finding out the hard way how much people hate 3rd place soccer player Megan Rapinoe. You've no doubt seen this commercial. Or the shorter, less annoying one where they cut out as much of Rapinoe as they can.

Three socialist policies in the United States - American Thinker
Three socialist policies in the United States - American Thinker
"Years ago, socialism was described as government control of the factors of production — land, labor, and capital.
Communism was government ownership, rather than simply control, of the means of production.
This contrasted with our system in the United States, which was based on private, not government, control and ownership of the means of production.
But do we still have that system of ownership free from government? Think about the following three stories:
- Biden Administration Approves Rules Forcing Companies to hire Minority, LGBTQ+ Executives And Publicly Disclose Diversity
- Biden to announce a target for 50% electric vehicle sales as he unveils stricter emissions rules
- CDC Director Extends the Eviction Moratorium for 30 days

a clear and precedent danger - by el gato malo - bad cattitude
- no power granted to a government is ever used once.
- this is why precedent matters so much.
- if you allow them to take all your rights and freedoms every time there is a crisis, then expect an endless parade of histrionic hobgoblinery to become the norm, not the exception.
- unlimited emergency powers lead to unlimited demands for emergencies and this is a game that, as we have all seen, the media will move heaven and earth to help dictators and demagogues play.
- both sides get what they covet most.
- and we the people get taken to the cleaners.
- this is why you have to be MOST careful about infringements of your liberty and the surrender of your rights when you happen to like the outcome.
- “oh, it’s just a vaccine mandate and i was going to get vaccinated anyway!”
- but stop and think about that:
- if we have granted politicians the right to force mandated medical choices upon medical professionals against their will and professional judgement because “emergency” what could they possibly NOT do?
- this is such an overreach and such a contravention of expertise and sound medical practice that if this is the bar, what part of your life will remain free from their intrusion when they conjure the next crisis of fomented fear?
- if they can take medicine from a doctor, what could they take from you?...Read all!

Bidenflation: Real Hourly Pay Suffers One of the Worst Collapses Ever:
It is getting harder and harder for American workers to make ends meet as rising inflation outpaces pay gains, pushing down inflation-adjusted compensation at a pace almost never seen before.
Adjusted for inflation, hourly compensation fell 2.7 percent in the second quarter, data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on the nonfarm business sector showed Tuesday.

Does the Infrastructure Bill Spell Doom for Residential Natural Gas? | RealClearEnergy
"Like all massive bills, the Senate’s 2,700 page, trillion dollar-plus monstrosity of an infrastructure package is filled with several regrettable big ticket items, including ones that will cost us dearly in the name of fighting climate change.
"Like all massive bills, the Senate’s 2,700 page, trillion dollar-plus monstrosity of an infrastructure package is filled with several regrettable big ticket items, including ones that will cost us dearly in the name of fighting climate change.
Even worse, buried deep in the bill are a great many relatively smaller provisions that are bad enough in their own right.
This includes measures allowing more federal control over state and local building codes that can further the Biden Administration goal of “appliance electrification” by discouraging the use of natural gas in homes and businesses.
...At the local level, a number of “progressive” cities, starting with Berkeley, California in 2019, outlawed natural gas hookups for new homes and businesses.
...If the infrastructure bill passes, the federal government will be able to influence state and local building codes so as to disfavor natural gas.

The bill doesn’t do this explicitly, but through carrots – it authorizes $225,000,000 in grant money for the purpose of “assisting standards-setting bodies.”
The language may sound innocent enough, for example grants to “enable sustained cost-effective implementation of updated building energy codes,” but in practice this means the only recipients will be those who play ball with the Biden climate agenda targeting natural gas...Read all.
