This will fix the university mess. Right?-----University of Michigan lecturers’ union holds rally to build support for contract fight

The lecturers are members of the Lecturers’ Employee Organization (LEO), Local 6244 of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).

"...Some 200 University of Michigan (U-M) employees and supporters attended a rally on Saturday, March 16 at the main campus in Ann Arbor in support of non-tenure track lecturers who are in the midst of contract negotiations with the university...

If you self-censor your news, this looks real.-----It’s the Biden vs. Trump Economy—and Hell No, It’s Not Even Close

The facts are clear: Biden has overseen a stronger economy than Trump did. That reality should dominate his reelection campaign.

"...Real wages are now growing in the United States at a pace faster than the spike in the cost of living since the pandemic. 

More than that: For the first time in decades, wage growth is consistently stronger in the middle and at the bottom than at the top.

• See, I told you that you wouldn’t believe it. 

But it’s right there in a recent study by David Autor, Arindrajit Dube, and Annie McGrew, three well-known economists. Dube just wrote up the results at (EXTREME LEFT-WING) Project Syndicate...

Parkland victim's father blasts Kamala's 'photo op' visit to 'push an agenda' | Blaze Media: 

The White House press release states: "The Biden-Harris Administration made $750 million in federal funding to implement state crisis intervention programs, which includes red flag programs, mental health courts, drug courts, and veteran treatment courts."

Former Defense Secretary Says Jan. 6 Committee Issued ‘Latent Threat’ to Keep Quiet

A former Trump secretary of defense revealed that he was pressured by the House Jan. 6 committee into staying silent about claims that then-President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of National Guard troops before the breach at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.  Jack Phillips

• "...The final report from the Jan. 6 subcommittee, which was dissolved after the current Congress took over, claimed that President Trump did not authorize the deployment of the National Guard...

“The two of us were on [the Fox News show] and the next day my lawyer got a call from the Jan. 6 staff director. ... I forgot exactly who it was, but basically saying, very legalistic, ‘Well, if your client has additional information he wants to share, we’d be happy to have him re-interviewed,''' Mr. Miller told the Mail.

“It was more that latent threat of, ‘If you want to keep going on TV, we’re gonna drag you in here again for additional hours of hearing testimony.’ So that was the nature of that whole thing. It was the latent threat of the government continuing to intrude into my life.”

The former defense secretary added that he did not have the “resources to continue the battle” with the Jan. 6 committee and didn’t want to face any more depositions. 

Instead, he kept to himself and did not discuss how the panel allegedly targeted him...

Advanced Economies Will Be Especially Hurt by Energy LimitsOur Finite World

Historical data show that, to date, a reduction in energy availability has mostly affected the US, European countries, Japan, and other advanced economies.  - Gail

"I expect this situation to continue as energy limits become more of a problem. 

• Advanced economies will start looking and acting more like today’s less-advanced economies. 
• The world economy will face a bumpy path in a generally downward direction.

In this post, I give an overview of our current predicament. 

All economies are subject to the laws of physics. 

• We are biologically adapted to needing some cooked foods in our diets. 
• We have also moved away from the equatorial regions, so many of us need heat to keep warm.

With a world population of 8 billion, we are a long way from meeting all our energy needs with renewable sources alone...

[1] Economies tend to collapse because populations rise faster than the resources (particularly energy resources) required to support those populations...

"Alarmists claim that sea level rise is a scary thing and is going to cost a bazillion dollars to mitigate. Even the generals and admirals in the US military are pushing climate change disaster scenarios, along with sensitivity training.

Bobulinski’s Testimony: Unraveling Allegations of Biden Family Influence Peddling

Joe Biden has repeatedly denied ever talking to his son about his business dealings. Bobulinski shows that it was an outright lie. - By Roger Kimball

"...Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski came to Congress a few days ago to testify before the House Oversight Committee about Hunter, his uncle Jim Biden, and the “Big Guy,” Mr. 10 percent, Joseph R. Biden himself. 

It was an extraordinary performance. 

Calm. 

Deliberate. 

Detailed. 

Deadly. 

Mr. Bobulinski’s written statement shows what care he took in marshaling facts and evidence.
But it was his in-person testimony that made popping the corn worthwhile. 

• Tony Bobulinski and Congressman Jay Raskin. 
• Tony Bobulinski and Congressman Dan Goldman. 

He called both liars to their faces. 

It was delicious. It was also true...

America Is Going To Be Targeted For A Massive Terrorist Attack … Will You be Ready?

It happened in Israel, and it happened in Moscow, and it’s going to happen here in America – again, and exponentially worse. - Kurt

• "...In fact, our ruling class actively undermines attempts to win it. And it refuses to prepare for what’s coming.

That leaves you to prepare, you the individual, you and your small community, you and your red state. 

There is no one else who’s going to help you. 

• There will be a bloodbath here in America. 
• It will dwarf what happened on 9/11, it’ll dwarf what happened in Israel, it will be Moscow times 1000, and you’re going to be caught in the middle of it.

You have to make the decision to be ready for yourself, for your community, and perhaps for your state if you live in one that’s not run by leftist idiots. 

• The enemy is not just coming; it is probably already here. 

Even (FBI boss) Christopher Wray thinks so...

Top Election Official Convicted for Creating Fake Names to Order and Send Absentee Ballots

Top Election Official Convicted for Creating Fake Names to Order and Send Absentee Ballots: 

Kimberly Zapata was a Wisconsin elections official who was fed up with Republicans talking about how easy it was to commit voter fraud. So, she decided to illegally send three ballots to a GOP state representative to, um, shut her up. On Wednesday, Zapata was found guilty of election fraud, despite her claimed motivations. Boy, she sure showed them. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the jury took roughly five hours to find the 47-year-old Zapata, formerly the Milwaukee Election Commission deputy director, of one felony charge of misconduct in public office and three misdemeanors for making false statements to obtain absentee ballots.

Domination Through Chaos and Fear - American Thinker

This is why I oppose a ceasefire and support destroying Hamas: Deployment of violence by groups like Hamas (and Hezbollah) is not random, but carefully calculated. - Clarice Feldman

"In the decade I served on a school board, I learned a great deal about group dynamics. 

The most important lesson, I suppose, is that there are people -- most often highly neurotic people -- who deliberately create chaos. 

They undermine every effort to rationally deal with issues that require solutions...

• In consequence, many just cede power to them rather than endure the endless churning of conflicts, bad decision-making and stirred-up animus...

I thought of this when I read this post by Hussain Abdul-Hussain an analyst with the Foundation for the Defense of Freedom whose consistently thoughtful and knowledgeable posts I highly value:

This is why I oppose a ceasefire and support destroying Hamas: Deployment of violence by groups like Hamas (and Hezbollah) is not random, but carefully calculated. Whenever trust in peace is eroded, radicalization surges. Moderates (pro-peace) lose popular support, crazy Radicals become popular. Hezbollah understood this and often used war with Israel to shore up its support and weaken its moderate opponents, and Hamas did the same. The biggest problem for radicals like Hamas and Hezbollah is that their popularity dips during peacetime because they are ill-equipped to govern. It thus becomes in the best interest of Hamas and Hezbollah to make war a permanent feature, a lifestyle. That is why Hamas and Hezbollah will never win or lose. Their livelihood is war, which spells the death of their host nations, but guarantees their forever control of power.

You can see the same dynamic domestically -- creating chaos to gain power -- without trying very hard.

• What do you imagine the BLM and Antifa riots are about? 
• Or the "Defund the Police" movement?

Eroding trust in rational systems and behaviors creates radicals and radicalization empowers the worst elements of a society...
