THIS absolutely makes me sick to my stomach! THIS should NEVER HAPPEN.

1626258755849.png

Around 2005 when I was taking my English Lit classes on Saturdays in Winchester VA for my degree, the Professor was a die hard liberal. Constantly talked bad about President Bush, his 'inbred' Republican family, on, on and on. On his 3rd attempt to 'enlighten' us with his political standings, I stood up and told him my GI Bill wasn't paying for me to listen to him bad mouth the President of the United States, his political preferences, and to degrade his family members. I then exited the class and immediately called the Deans Office in Danville, Virginia and left a voice mail about what had been taking place. I was attending a satellite school of the main campus in Northern VA. That following Wed I received a call from the Deans Office 100% reassuring me that this would NEVER happen again and I would be receive a written and verbal apology from the school and the Professor. Sure enough, that Saturday when class started, he formally apologized to myself and the entire class for his lack of ethical professionalism and did proceed to hand me a sealed envelope with his 'written' apology in it as well. I also received a follow up call from the Deans office.

I feel bad for this young man, but I can guarantee that this will NOT happen to my daughters, and if it does, they will certainly deal with it in a proper way. Granted when this happened to myself, I was a recently retired Marine Master Sergeant and the oldest in the class. Still, this type of behavior should NEVER EVER be allowed or tolerated!

David L., that is part of the reason I am always preaching 'stay vigilant' with schools and especially their curriculum. It is unfortunate, but too many school districts have bypassed parents with introducing inappropriate material and their own opinions into the classrooms and our children's minds. If we as parents, guardians, and even students don't stand up to this, our 'education' system will turn into nothing more then a 're-education' system for politics. I mean that in both directions....liberal and conservative.

from that article:

"Look at Russell, right here, it doesn't matter what he does," Richards continues in the video. "If I match him up with a Black guy in class, or a Brown guy, even ... who's just like him, has the same GPA, looks like him, walks like him, talks like him, acts in a similar way, has been involved in the same groups on campus, takes the same leadership positions, whatever it is ... and we send them into the same jobs ... Russell has a benefit of having White skin."
Let's just say for sake of argument that Russell does have an advantage due to the bias present in the employer.
Is that Russell's fault?
Should Russell feel GUILTY because of the bias present in someone else?
Should Russel be penalized in some way because of the bias of someone else?
It really seems the Professor is targeting the wrong person here for a problem that is theoretical.

As for any actual advantage.... hmmm. My wife get a rejection letter from Cal-State University San Marcos in 2005 saying all the available student-body slots had been filled for the coming academic year. That same night, my wife became LIVID while watching a local news story about CSU-SM and their program that gave seats to incoming students who were ILLEGAL ALIEN NON-RESIDENTS. She, being highly qualified to attend and an in-state resident, had been BUMPED effectively by a foreign student who was less-qualified and living in the country illegally because that college was already working overtime to show how "WOKE" they are. Don't tell me about who has any fucking advantage.

@David L Don't feel to bad. The Mrs and I were both confused when we saw that, and I still am. I'm still trying to understand exactly who is who in that photo, other than the infant. What's really sad is that a child will be raised in that environment. Talk about child abuse! On the other hand, where's the "follow the science" of this"? Expecting a male to be able to lactate is certainly not "following the science".

@sdkid The answer that Russel should have given is "I wouldn't get the job because of racial quotas."

@David L I think we're seeing the breakdown of civilization on a worldwide scale, not just here in the US. There's more of this going on than is being reported I suspect.

Preview of things to come ..... what a shitshow..


South Africa could be on the verge of collapse, and all the warning signs are there. The looters have targeted foreign shops, shopping centers, distribution centers/warehouses, and raided gun shops. Shortages are emerging in food, fuel, and ammo.

A food supply disruption would put the US right over the edge.

The Long and Short of It


Dear Patriots,

Sometimes we can share with you short bits of news because that is all you need to know about a story. Sometimes we need to dig a little deeper. Today, we are sharing two longer articles that go into a lot of detail. We have pulled some of the "money quotes" but, we urge you to spend some time reading them in full. Also today, we add a few quick hits.

THE LONG

1-
Hopefully, by now, you are aware of former NYTimes reporter Alex Berenson and the deep diving he has been doing for almost two years on all the issues related to Covid-CCP. He has received, as you can imagine, a lot of push back from the left. And yet he continues to share his research. By the way, Alex has written several short books on his Covid research. He also writes the fictional John Wells spy series. His recent stand alone fiction book, "The Power Couple" is a good twisty, exciting summer beach read. In this piece from his Substack page, Alex examines many serious questions surrounding the vaccine and the trials the billion dollar drug companies did prior to forcing them on all humans. He looks into the data from heavily vaccinated countries, Israel, Scotland and England and finds disturbing but unreported news on the efficacy of the vaccines. As Alex writes: "As public health authorities and the media press vaccinations ever harder on young people - who are at almost no risk from Covid anyway - their unwillingness to face difficult realities will only feed conspiracy theories and resistance"
Read More Here:
Vaccines, reasons for concern, part 3
QUOTE: This meant that when Pfizer and Moderna said in November 2020 their vaccines were about 95% effective at preventing Covid, what they meant was that the vaccines were 95% effective at peak protection FOR A MATTER OF WEEKS.

Neither the companies nor anyone else had any way of knowing how well the vaccines would work in a year, much less in five years - or 20 years. They simply did not have any long-term data. How could they? The vaccines hadn't even existed until months before, and they used technology that had never been approved for any drug or vaccine.

But the political and media pressure to encourage vaccinations was enormous. Public health experts ignored these potential pitfalls. Instead they decided to press vaccinations as quickly as possible on everyone.

QUOTE: I hope it is clear by now that to know for sure just how quickly the vaccines lose their effectiveness will require very careful AND HONEST statistical analysis of complex data.
Instead of offering that, however, American public health authorities are doubling down on their promise of vaccine effectiveness. They trumpet unverified statistics that appear increasingly implausible in the light of the more granular data coming from Israel and especially Britain (which has excellent data from a national health care system and a commitment to publishing weekly reports that cannot be easily manipulated).

###

2- We are big fans of the writings and thinking of professor and military historian, Victor Davis Hanson.

This piece is a litany of events that have been foisted upon us in the last four years. It is a long list. It is no wonder we sometimes get discouraged. This historian makes a bold prediction. It is not a good one for the left. Reading the quotes alone does not do the writing justice.

Read More Here:
Trump Winds and Biden Whirlwinds
QUOTE: The ties that bound all these melodramas over the last four years were threefold: 1) venomous hatred of outlier, controversial, and combative Trump; 2) the sanctimonious, near-religious belief that any means necessary were justified in the noble aim of destroying his presidency—and damn any lasting damage to traditional customs and constitutional norms; and 3) no counterforce would ever dream of doing to the Left what it was doing to destroy Trump.

QUOTE: The Left is well on its way to incurring a pushback in 2022 comparable to 2010, with the potential to make the Tea Party boomerang seem like small stuff. And the difference this time around is that there are no customs, no traditions left in treatment accorded a political opponent in office. No one any longer knows what is fair play and what is out of bounds, but only what the Democrats have left us as the new normal: if you deem a candidate, a president-elect, and a president a radical threat to your agenda, then any means necessary to destroy or to remove him and his enablers are not merely legal but absolutely moral and necessary—and damned be the damage to the nation.
What has been sown into the Trump wind, will likely be reaped in the Biden whirlwind.

###

THE SHORT

1-
This is happening because YOU are engaged and informed and YOU are fighting back!!
Report: CRT wars are taking toll on lefty administrators
QUOTE: File this report under "good news if true." According to NBC News, opposition to attempts to impose left-wing race-oriented propaganda in America's schools is taking a toll on those who are trying to impose it.

NBC leads its story with the case of Rydell Harrison, the superintendent of the Easton-Redding-Region 9 School Districts in Connecticut. He resigned after coming under fire from parents opposed to CRT.
###

2- Rare push back from the right.
Consumer group attacks 'woke' MLB and Ticketmaster in seven-figure ad buy

QUOTE: The conservative consumer group, which launched its Consumers First Initiative in May targeting American Airlines, Nike, and Coca-Cola, now has its sights set on Major League Baseball and Ticketmaster. Its campaign against the two companies features a seven-figure ad buy that will run nationally and in the local markets where both businesses are headquartered.

The first ad attacks MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred over the league's decision to move its All-Star Game out of Atlanta in protest of Republican-backed voting legislation. The ad, titled "Losing Record," accuses Manfred of "parroting dishonest, partisan talking points" about the Georgia law.
###

3- Know the facts before you vax.
FDA to Add Warning to J&J Vaccine of 'Serious But Rare' Autoimmune Disorder
QUOTE: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will announce a new warning on Johnson & Johnson's COVID vaccine saying the shot is linked to Guillain–Barré syndrome. In April, the agency added a warning about blood clotting disorders to the J&J shot.

According to The New York Times, the chances of developing GBS after receiving the J&J shot is three to five times higher than would be expected in the general population in the U.S.
###

4- Many people had Covid-CCP long before anyone knew what it was.
COVID Began Far Earlier Than We Were Told
QUOTE: Europe, French researchers said they found traces of covid-19 in Nov 2019...scientists from National Cancer Institute of Milan and University of Siena found 10% of blood samples from a cancer screening trial contained COVID antibodies... samples included some from Sept 2019.

According to the study, 11.6% of individuals in a lung cancer clinical trial, months before the known COVID outbreak, had already been exposed to the virus. As antibodies take several weeks post infection to develop, it's likely that some individuals had active infections in August 2019, or perhaps much earlier as antibody detection offers a minimum, not maximum, time window post-infection.

Similar findings were described in the U.S. Antibody tests run on American Red Cross blood donations from December 2019 to January 2020 showed just over 1% of blood donations contained COVID-19 antibodies, suggesting that the virus was active in the U.S. in the fall of 2019, perhaps earlier.
###

5- We do not usually talk about global warming but it is interesting that when it comes to polluting the earth, the biggest offender is ...China.
Climate change: Just 25 mega-cities emit 52 per cent of the world's urban greenhouse gases
QUOTE: Just over half of the world's urban greenhouse gas emissions come from just 25 mega-cities — 23 of which are located in China — a study has reported.
The cities that emit the most greenhouse gases included Handan, Suzhou, Dalian, Beijing and Tianjin in China — but also Tokyo, Japan, and Moscow, Russia.
###

6- Socialism never works. Ask a Cuban. They are in the street waving the American Flag. It must be confusing to the American elite left to know who to support. But, it won't be the people yearning for freedom. Pray for the people of Cuba.
Cuba: The Collapse Of Another Socialist Utopia? Let's Hope So
QUOTE: Like an unwatched pot suddenly violently boiling over, Havana and other cities have erupted in defiant protests by Cubans fed up with living in their perpetually depressed tropical police state. True to form, the Castroite regime has already reflexively cracked down on the protests with brutality.

Cubans weary of being treated like animals without rights took to the streets, shouting "Freedom!" "Down with the dictatorship," and, most pointedly, "Down with communism!" In some cases, protesters carried American flags. This was not an isolated demonstration: According to the Spanish-language data site Inventario, some 63 cities and towns were roiled by demonstrations on Sunday through early Monday.
###

7- The Biden Regime is gearing up to spy on your text messages.
No One Undermined Coronavirus Vaccine Confidence More than Biden and Harris
QUOTE: Although no one has done more to undermine confidence in the coronavirus vaccine than His Fraudulency Joe Biden and Her Vice Fraudulency Kamala Harris, the flailing White House is now blaming the political right's "fake news" and "false information" for the slowdown in vaccination rates.

To combat that, the administration is turning to fascism, coercion, and spying.

• Get the FDA to rush official approval of the vaccine.
• Send government-approved emissaries door-to-door to have a little talk with the unvaccinated.
• Push for schools and businesses to mandate vaccinations.
Fact check our text messages (which is spying).
None of that will work. If the government muscles the FDA to approve the vaccine, the vaccine-hesitant will simply say, and not without cause, The government muscled the FDA to approve the vaccine. Other than increasing resentment towards the government and our institutions, the other three items on that list will change nothing.

Look for the announcement of the winner of the Kraken logo contest and GOOD NEWS FRIDAY.
Of course, we will break in with urgent news.

Read. Learn. Study. Share. Pray. But not necessarily in that order!

More 'patriots' going to jail:




Federal prosecutors announced Wednesday that they have reached a plea deal with Josiah Colt, a 34-year-old rioter from Ohio who breached the U.S. Capitol and rappelled into the Senate chamber during the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection.
Colt pleaded guilty to felony obstruction of an official proceeding. His deal requires that he cooperate with the government on other investigations.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas F. Hogan read Colt his rights and said federal guidelines call for a sentence ranging between 51 and 63 months. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Colt’s sentence will be announced at a later date.
In June, Paul Hodgkins, a rioter who stormed the Senate chamber with a Trump flag, also pleaded guilty to felony obstruction of an official proceeding.
Colt was among hundreds of rioters who overwhelmed police and stormed the Capitol to stop lawmakers from certifying Donald Trump’s election loss to Joe Biden.
