University Students Comforted With 'Counseling' After Seeing Confederate Flag on Laptop
University Students Comforted With 'Counseling' After Seeing Confederate Flag on Laptop:
"University students in Massachusetts who were upset by an image of a Confederate flag sticker on another student’s laptop were offered counseling services at Framingham State University.
The offer came after the university’s “chief diversity and inclusion officer,” Sean Huddleston, described the display of the small Confederate flag sticker as a “bias incident.”
It's a cry baby world!

Descent into madness-----U-M president asks Facebook to shut down 'White Student Union' page
U-M president asks Facebook to shut down 'White Student Union' page | MLive.comUniversity of Michigan President Mark Schlissel and Provost Martha Pollack reached out to Facebook Wednesday to have a page called "University of Michigan White Student Union" shut down due to unauthorized use of the school's seal and the website's terms of service.
The page had fewer than two dozen followers as of 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 25.
In a joint letter, Schlissel and Pollack said that Facebook confirmed that it is working to address this issue for U-M and roughly 30 other institutions, which have also seen similar pages pop up using their likeness.
"We affirm the importance of the First Amendment and the rights of all people to express their views, even when those opinions may offend others.
"The University of Michigan is striving to create a climate of inclusion, where all our students, faculty, and staff feel they belong. We want to take this moment to reaffirm our deep and abiding commitment to this goal, and to working diligently, with the entire university community, to achieve it."
The pages are believed to be a push against the call from several colleges around the nation to increase enrollment of underrepresented minorities.
...Michigan's 2015 freshman class had the biggest percentage of underrepresented minorities in a decade."
Thanksgiving, Collectivism and Christianity
Thanksgiving, Collectivism and Christianity:
"The first Thanksgiving was not about collectivism. The original Mayflower Compact embraced a socialist plan for the Plymouth Colony, but after two years of utter failure and near-starvation, the colony's leaders wrote a new charter that protected private property and encouraged capitalism. It's that capitalist experiment that led to the bounty of the first Thanksgiving.
We used to know this as a country, but leftist education has steadily erased the details of our history and denied its lessons."

Long, but well worth your time. This is going on all over our country-----Understanding The Jamar Clark Police Shooting: What You Need To Know
"The fast food workers at a Plymouth, Minnesota Arby’s were getting nervous.
Derek Wolfsteller, who had just notified authorities himself that he was going through a “mental crisis,” was clearly becoming a threat in the restaurant—and workers quickly called 911.
Police responded.
Workers were in the process of trying to subdue Wolfstellar, who had already grown dangerous.
The police’s commands fell on deaf ears; the Taser didn’t work—and the man grabbed the officer’s gun.
She quickly regained control and was forced to shoot.
Wolfstellar took a hit in the head, and died.
With few exceptions, there was virtually no outcry.
And rightfully so.
The man was dangerous, he refused to obey the officer, could not be subdued by any other measure, and tried to grab the officer’s gun.
Derek Wolfstellar made a choice, and he paid for it.
Fast forward a few months, and a few miles to the east in the same metro area—and it’s a totally different story.
Never mind that Jamal Clark had added to an already extensive rap sheet by assaulting his girlfriend. Never mind that Clark returned to the scene after paramedics were called, and harassed and intimidated paramedics to the point where THEY felt compelled to call 911.
Never mind that Clark engaged in a physical confrontation with the officers.
Never mind that he eventually gained physical control of the handle of one of their guns.
Never mind all that, because we live in one of the most racially polarized periods in recent history.
You see, Derek Wolfstellar was white, and Jamal Clark was black.
And somehow when race is made a part of the debate (whether it played a factor or not), personal responsibility suddenly only applies to the officers, and not to the perpetrator.
So how does it all break down? And what, if anything does this have to do with Thanksgiving?
Bear with me—I’ll get there.
Let’s take a closer look at the components that don’t always make the news and opinion reels:

Read it all. We need to be informed!!!Standing tall!-----Be thankful for the vigorous, uncomfortable, invaluable clash of ideas this Thanksgiving
Be thankful for the vigorous, uncomfortable, invaluable clash of ideas this Thanksgiving - The College Fix:
Arthur Brooks, the president of the American Enterprise Institute, wrote a great column in The New York Times on Sunday explaining the practical benefits of thankfulness in action.
In that spirit, here are a few people I’m thankful for in the zany college world:
The brave students at Princeton who not only spoke up against the rise of “intimidation and abuse” against people with certain viewpoints, but practically guaranteed they will suffer intimidation and abuse by signing their names to it.
Their letter to President Christopher Eisgruber:
"Academic discourse consists of reasoned arguments. We simply wish to present our own reasoned arguments and engage you and other senior administrators in dialogue. We will not occupy your office, and, though we respectfully request a minimum of an hour of your time, we will only stay for as long as you wish. We will conduct ourselves in the civil manner that it is our hope to maintain and reinforce as the norm at Princeton."
Let’s hope Eisgruber treats their petition with the same good faith that he attributed to the protesters who crashed his office and refused to leave.
I’m not holding my breath, though.
Black journalist Keli Goff, also a television writer, who shared her own experience with racial incidents with grace and wisdom.
...Goff warns that the protests sweeping college campuses are “already having a devastating impact on the efforts of minorities to advance in fields in which we are underrepresented—and in which our presence is needed now more than ever.”
You think TV writing is hard for minorities to break into now?
Goff writes:
"I know there are rooms of opportunity and power—including some writers rooms—that people like me are increasingly excluded from simply because the people in them are petrified of saying the wrong thing in front of me or another person of color or another woman and ending up vilified in social media or on a blog or in a protest. So instead they surround themselves with fellow white guys."

Must read! Chilling!-----The Yale Problem Begins in High School
The Yale Problem Begins in High School | HeterodoxAcademy.org:
"A month before the Yale Halloween meltdown, I had a bizarre and illuminating experience at an elite private high school on the West Coast.
I’ll call it Centerville High. I gave a version of a talk that you can see here, on Coddle U. vs. Strengthen U. (In an amazing coincidence, I first gave that talk at Yale a few weeks earlier).
The entire student body — around 450 students, from grades 9-12 — were in the auditorium.
There was plenty of laughter at all the right spots, and a lot of applause at the end, so I thought the talk was well received.
But then the discussion began, and it was the most unremittingly hostile questioning I’ve ever had.
I don’t mind when people ask hard or critical questions, but I was surprised that I had misread the audience so thoroughly.
My talk had little to do with gender, but the second question was “So you think rape is OK?”
Like most of the questions, it was backed up by a sea of finger snaps — the sort you can hear in the infamous Yale video, where a student screams at Prof. Christakis to “be quiet” and tells him that he is “disgusting.”
I had never heard the snapping before.
When it happens in a large auditorium it is disconcerting.
It makes you feel that you are facing an angry and unified mob — a feeling I have never had in 25 years of teaching and public speaking.
After the first dozen questions I noticed that not a single questioner was male.
I began to search the sea of hands asking to be called on and I did find one boy, who asked a question that indicated that he too was critical of my talk.
But other than him, the 200 or so boys in the audience sat silently.
After the Q&A, I got a half-standing ovation: almost all of the boys in the room stood up to cheer.
And after the crowd broke up, a line of boys came up to me to thank me and shake my hand.
Not a single girl came up to me afterward.
...And then… they go off to college and learn new ways to gain status by expressing collective anger at those who disagree.
They curse professors and spit on visiting speakers at Yale.
They shut down newspapers at Wesleyan. They torment a dean who was trying to help them at Claremont McKenna.
They threaten and torment fellow students at Dartmouth.
And in all cases, they demand that adults in power DO SOMETHING to punish those whose words and views offend them.
Their high schools have thoroughly socialized them into what sociologists call victimhood culture, which weakens students by turning them into “moral dependents” who cannot deal with problems on their own.
They must get adult authorities to validate their victim status..."

Undercover British TV Show Reports U.K. Muslim Moms Recruiting Girls for Islamic State: ‘We Do Not Submit to the Law of Any Country’ | TheBlaze.com:"The reporter, who presented herself as a woman named “Aisha,” said she is a Muslim who grew up in London and was willing to undertake personal risk in order to discover what has motivated an estimated 700 British Muslims to travel to Syria to fight for the jihadist group — among them 100 girls.
“Aisha” attended secret lectures in London, during which women preached the evils of the U.K. and democracy and described Jews as “filthy,” often with teenage and younger girls present.
The women pushed the notion that man-made laws are not to be followed, only the laws of Islam; therefore, democracy should be rejected."
Save your turkey leftovers!-----Report Calls For Meat Tax To Be High Priority At Paris Climate Change Conference
Report Calls For Meat Tax To Be High Priority At Paris Climate Change ConferenceSlashing meat eating should be one of the central pillars of the global warming agenda when world leaders meet in Paris to discuss climate change Nov. 30, according to a new report.
The London-based Chatham House think tank says cutting down on meat consumption is essential to prevent warming by two degrees by the end of the century.
...“As governments look for strategies to close the Paris emissions gap quickly and cheaply, dietary change should be high on the list,” says report author Laura Wellesley.
So dangerous is the alleged threat posed by climate change the think tank recommends a slew of government interventions and globally co-ordinated responses to make meat eating less attractive to consumers.
...The more draconian part of Chatham House’s recommendations centers around using taxes to discourage meat eating. “Interventions to change the relative prices of foods are likely to be among the most effective in changing consumption patterns,” says the report..."

‘Thousands’ of ISIS fighters now inside U.S. cities:
"The report accuses Obama of “downplaying” the threat of ISIS while adding to the threat by importing Muslim refugees that are difficult to screen.
The U.S. has imported 70,000 refugees per year for many years, more than half of them from Muslim-dominated countries such as Somalia and Iraq with active jihadist movements, and President Obama has pledged to increase that number to 85,000 this year and 100,000 the following year.
The new study is significant because the Obama administration has in the past made statements that “around 200″ Americans had left the country to join ISIS and could come back at any time using their American passports.
The FBI has said it has about 900 active ISIS investigations in all 50 states but never given an estimate of how big the contingent of ISIS sympathizers may be in the U.S."

This is from my anthology The Face Of The Tiger:
We can be thankful that this month, for the first time, the UN has met its target for getting sufficient supplies into Afghanistan to feed its starving people.
It turns out the quickest way to end the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan is to remove its idiot government.
Conversely, the best way to keep people starving is to cook up new wheezes to maintain the thugs in power, as Christian Aid tried to do when it demanded a humanitarian "bombing pause" for Ramadan...

On this Thanksgiving the rest of the world ought to give thanks to American national sovereignty, too.
When something terrible and destructive happens – a tsunami hits Indonesia, an earthquake devastates Pakistan – the US can project itself anywhere on the planet within hours and start saving lives, setting up hospitals and restoring the water supply.
Aside from Britain and France, the Europeans cannot project power in any meaningful way anywhere... If America were to follow the Europeans and maintain only a shriveled attenuated residual military capacity, the world would very quickly be nastier and bloodier, and far more unstable...

Last week, the state of Oklahoma celebrated its centennial, accompanied by rousing performances of Rodgers and Hammerstein's eponymous anthem:
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
Which isn't a bad theme song for the first Thanksgiving, either.
Three hundred and fourteen years ago, the pilgrims thanked God because there was a place for them in this land, and it was indeed grand.
The land is grander today, and that too is remarkable:
France has lurched from Second Empires to Fifth Republics struggling to devise a lasting constitutional settlement for the same smallish chunk of real estate, but the principles that united a baker's dozen of East Coast colonies were resilient enough to expand across a continent and halfway around the globe to Hawaii.
Americans should, as always, be thankful this Thanksgiving, but they should also understand just how rare in human history their blessings are.

The social media site Facebook inexplicably blocked an Examiner news article which discussed the undeniable Marxist associations of Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Author and speaker Trevor Loudon revealed Sanders’ radical ties in a short film he released Wednesday in anticipation of his upcoming political documentary The Enemies Within which seeks to expose the anti-American radicals in the federal government.
After several prominent Facebook pages posted the article, the link was blocked at numerous pages (Seehere and here for just two examples) and Facebook “likes” on the actual article became “stuck” at 572.
It is pure speculation at this point as to why Facebook blocked the article. At the time of this writing, Facebook has not replied to requests for clarification.

Some Families Living in Philly Public Housing Earn Over $100K | NBC 10 Philadelphia:
"The Philadelphia Housing Authority has a 10 year waiting list with roughly 100,000 people on it, according to officials.
But while low income and homeless families wait, the NBC10 Investigators found some families were allowed to live in PHA properties while earning six figures.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development refers to them as "over income."
“I believe that they’re serving an important purpose,” PHA president Kelvin Jeremiah said. “I believe that the fact that they’ve achieved some level of success while being in PHA, I want to be able to encourage that.”
Jeremiah said the 181 over income families make up a small percent of the 80,000 people living in PHA housing.
He also said the over income families help the housing authority pay its bills."

Things You'll Be Thankful For When Trump Becomes President
Things You'll Be Thankful For When Trump Becomes President | The Daily Caller:
Maybe Donald Trump is destined to be president.
After nearly six months on the campaign trail, the billionaire real estate and baseball cap mogul continues to lead in the polls and it appears there’s nothing he can say or do — no matter how grotesque or dishonest — that will lessen his appeal among his legions of supporters.
Frank Luntz conducted a focus group several months back and discovered Trump fans love him unconditionally. No matter what negative event or position Luntz tied Trump to, they still stood by him.
“What if I told you Donald Trump murdered your mother?” it seems Luntz basically could have asked. Trump’s fans would have likely replied: “Well, that sounds bad, but if Donald Trump murdered my mother, she must have done something to deserve it."
....But it’s far from inconceivable that Trump continues to cruise.
So on this Thanksgiving Day, it’s worth contemplating the reality that in a year we might be talking about President-elect Trump.
In anticipation of that mind-boggling possibility, here are 10 things we all can look forward to in a Trump presidency:
...9.) Like Thanksgiving? Of course you do. How about a second Thanksgiving holiday to thank God for giving America Donald Trump? You better believe you’ll like that too.
4.) Get ready for Attorney General Michael Cohen, who will also be getting a “Judge Judy”-type show to go along with his new position. (Editors note: This reality will probably be slightly less awesome for Daily Beast reporter Tim Mak, who Cohen once advised to “tread very fucking lightly” over a story he didn’t want Mak to write about Trump. Mr. Cohen threatened that if Mr. Mak didn’t follow his advice on exactly how to tread, “[W]hat I’m going to do to you is going to be fucking disgusting.”)
3.) The State of the Union Address will actually be worth watching. Instead of outlining the president’s agenda for the coming year, President Trump will give an annual accounting of all the losers and haters in the country, as well as all the magazine covers he has appeared on over the last 12 months.
2.) Waterboarding’s back baby — and this time it’ll be nationally televised from the Oval Office.
1.) Out with Miss USA, in with Miss White House, where Trump’s smoking hot interns compete to be his next wife. This, like so many things in the Trump administration, will also be televised.
Maybe Donald Trump is destined to be president.
After nearly six months on the campaign trail, the billionaire real estate and baseball cap mogul continues to lead in the polls and it appears there’s nothing he can say or do — no matter how grotesque or dishonest — that will lessen his appeal among his legions of supporters.
Frank Luntz conducted a focus group several months back and discovered Trump fans love him unconditionally. No matter what negative event or position Luntz tied Trump to, they still stood by him.
“What if I told you Donald Trump murdered your mother?” it seems Luntz basically could have asked. Trump’s fans would have likely replied: “Well, that sounds bad, but if Donald Trump murdered my mother, she must have done something to deserve it."
....But it’s far from inconceivable that Trump continues to cruise.
So on this Thanksgiving Day, it’s worth contemplating the reality that in a year we might be talking about President-elect Trump.
...9.) Like Thanksgiving? Of course you do. How about a second Thanksgiving holiday to thank God for giving America Donald Trump? You better believe you’ll like that too.
4.) Get ready for Attorney General Michael Cohen, who will also be getting a “Judge Judy”-type show to go along with his new position.

How they "think"-----Climate change root cause of Syrian war: Britain's Prince Charles
Climate change root cause of Syrian war: Britain's Prince Charles - Yahoo News Canada:
"LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Charles has pointed to the world's failure to tackle climate change as a root cause of the civil war in Syria, terrorism and the consequent refugee crisis engulfing Europe.
The heir to the British throne is due to give a keynote speech at the opening of a global climate summit in Paris next week where 118 leaders will gather to try to nail down a deal to limit rising greenhouse gas emissions.
The prince said in an interview with Sky News, to be aired on Monday and recorded before the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, that such symptoms were a "classic case of not dealing with the problem".
"Some of us were saying 20 something years ago that if we didn't tackle these issues, you would see ever greater conflict over scarce resources and ever greater difficulties over drought, and the accumulating effect of climate change which means that people have to move," he said..."
