Jun 9, 2024 ~ 'How Neuropsychology Lost Its Mind' "confronted by far-left activists demanding to transform it based on unfounded accusations of systemic racism." 'Unfounded' AS ALWAYS. "The preamble states that clinical neuropsychology must 'strive to repair historical and contemporary bias' as well as 'structural and systemic oppression.' Practically, our profession’s members should be taught to 'demonstrate awareness of intersectionality' and 'advocate for marginalized and/or minoritized individuals, populations, and perspectives.' The conference even decided to authorize an apology to be written for the field’s alleged complicity in systemic racism." Disagreement was silenced with the usual censorship, accusations and fear based tactics: "The academy’s leadership responded by increasing its moderation of speech on its internal listserv. Soon to follow were insinuations that racism was the real reason for opposition to far-left ideology replacing science and standards. With suppression of online discourse and neuropsychologists self-censoring out of fear of being labeled a racist, the momentum against the guidelines has been effectively squashed."

Jun 9, 2024 ~ "The Quest for a ‘Clean Economy’ Collides with Reality" "A typical Tesla Model 3 battery, which contains six kilograms of lithium, eight kilograms of cobalt, eight kilograms of aluminum, 17 kilograms of copper, 42 kilograms of nickel, and 55 kilograms of graphite. All of these materials come from somewhere, and that somewhere is underground — often, far beneath the surface.
As a rule, underground mines make for very uncongenial neighbors. Their sites are dirty and dusty, loud, crowded with vehicular traffic, liable to pollute aquifers and generate toxic waste, and demanding of enormous quantities of water. Underground extraction can also conflict with deeply rooted cultural, historical, and social norms and practices." [Climate Change, Economics, Environment]
Jun 9, 2024 ~ 'Sacrificing Children to the God of CRT' NYC hospitals are ignoring and not reporting stats that affect the safety of kids if there is 'disproportionate' numbers between blacks and whites. For example “Black families are seven times as likely as white families to be accused of child maltreatment,” so they stopped reporting because according to the bogus #CRT theory, the disproportionality cannot be real; it must be a consequence of 'racism.' Except the theory is easily proven false by the fact that "black children who live with parents charged with abuse are about seven times more likely to be killed than kids in white and Asian households." Consequently, Rafael Mangual, resigned from the New York State Advisory Committee of the US Council on Civil Rights saying, "I resigned because I believe the committee’s pathological obsession with racial disparity will endanger the lives of our most vulnerable children, especially black children." His resignation letter lists many examples. [CRT DIE Wokeness, Fake Racism, Loathsome Left]
Jun 9, 2024 ~ Journalist Sage Steele reveals how the #FakeNews carefully guards the secret that Biden is not mentally fit to even do a real interview and prevents questions that would make his administration look bad. When she interviewed him for ESPN, she said "Every single question was scripted, gone over dozens of times by many editors and executives. Absolutely. I was on script and was told not to deviate. It was very much ‘This is what you will ask. This is how you will say it. No follow-ups, no follow-ups. Next.’ … This went up to the fourth floor, as we said, where all the bosses, the top executives, the decision makers are, the president of our company, the CEO, where they all worked."

Jun 9, 2024 ~ 'Harvard Slips Up about Blacks and Jews' The antisemites on campus claim (using a bogus Farrakhan book) that the Jews are responsible for slavery. But "All cultures and societies -- the Romans, Greeks, Aztecs, Chinese, Africans, Christians, Muslims, and Jews -- have had slaves. And while some Jews, like people from practically all other groups at the time, played a role in the African slave trade, the Jewish role was microscopic, especially in the antebellum America South." Nobody held a candle to the Muslims for sheer volume of slavery: "It was the Muslims who, for 14 centuries, conquered and enslaved Black Africans. And it is Muslims who still do: Today, Arabs and Muslims capture, buy, and sell blacks in at least five African countries and across the Arab world." Many examples given. Here is one: "In Sudan, there remain an estimated 35,000 Blacks enslaved during the Arab north’s self-declared jihad which killed 2.5 million." [Anti-Semitism, College, Islam, Slavery]
Jun 9, 2024 ~ 'How the Media Ignited a Bogus Texas Abortion Scare' The #FakeNews kicked into high gear helping the Democrats lie about an incident where a woman needed a D&C after a miscarriage. They pretended the Texas abortion laws had something to do with the situation but they did not. Not only did the law not apply to this kind of situation, it went out of its way to clearly state that it didn't apply. The Dallas Morning News kicked off the farse with the article “How a couple found themselves tangled in Texas’ strict abortion laws after miscarriage.” Buried deep in the article is truth that the laws don't apply and the woman was able to schedule her procedure. CBS spread the fake narrative and then Hillary Clinton got into the act, even finding a way to blame Trump for the fake story: "Another horrifying story of a woman being denied urgent medical care in Texas — thanks to abortion bans made possible by Donald Trump." Disgusting but typical of how the #FakeNews becomes an arm of the Democratic Party. They all know they are lying but as long as the media goes along with it, low information voters believe the narrative. [Abortion, Fake News, Hillary]
Jun 9, 2024 ~ The Canadian Cancer Society apologized for referring to a cervix as a cervix when talking about cervical cancer. In their 'Words Matter' section they say: "We recognize that many trans men and non-binary people may have mixed feelings about or feel distanced from words like “cervix.” You may prefer other words, such as “front hole.” We recognize the limitations of the words we’ve used while also acknowledging the need for simplicity. Another reason we use words like “cervix” is to normalize the reality that men can have these body parts too." [Anti-Semitism, Health Care, Trans]

"No new refineries have opened since the 1960s. In fact, according to CEC data, more than 60% of the refineries opened in California during the last 100 years are now closed or idle."

But that is just a drop in the bucket as the ridiculously named 'Inflation Reduction Act' "provides $2.8 billion to the EPA for environmental and climate justice block grants," (Section 60201). That's a license to hand out walking-around money to many political activists, not just the Climate Justice Alliance."

Jun 8, 2024 ~ "The False Premise of the Struggle for the 'Liberation' of Palestine" "Before the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, there were 800,000-900,000 Jews living in Arab countries. Today there are 2,000 Jews in Morocco and 1,000 Jews in Tunisia. Outside of Israel, in Arab countries, there are approximately 450 million Arabs and 3,000 Jews. These numbers mean that the Arab world has emancipated itself from the Jews. The Arab world is already judenfrei (free of Jews in German), that is, it is already free of Jews. The area of the Arab world is 13 million square kilometers, the area of Israel together with the controlled territories is 27.8 thousand square kilometers."
"The struggle for the "liberation" of Palestine from "the river to the sea" means seeking to annex Palestine, which includes Israel and is 0.2% of the area of the Arab world to its gigantic territory.
Is it fair to take away from the Jewish people its only state and create a 23rd Arab state in its place? The struggle for 'justice' is for the 'liberation' of 0.2% of the Arab world's territories, which are apparently necessary to pacify pro-Palestinian demonstrators, to satisfy the demands of "progressive humanity" angered by the Israelis, to eliminate "the world's biggest hotbed of tension" and, apparently, for the complete victory of antisemitism.
The eviction of Jewish communities from Arab and Muslim countries in the Middle East and North Africa was the result of attempts to make these countries judenfrei in the terminology used by the Nazis in realizing the "final solution to the Jewish question." [Anti-Semitism, Islam, Israel]
Jun 8, 2024 ~ 'Biden’s Collusion in the Anti-Trump Lawfare Gambit' Democrats lie that Biden is not involved in prosecuting his election opponent. "There is no daylight between President Biden, the Biden Justice Department, and the federal prosecutions of Biden’s opponent that — if Smith has his druthers — will keep Trump chained to courtrooms for four to six months while Biden is out campaigning in battleground states. Naturally, it is easier to discern Biden’s lawfare collusion in the federal prosecutions of Trump than in the criminal cases brought by elected Democratic prosecutors in the states of Georgia and New York. But the collusion is plain to see there, too." "Bragg recruited Matthew Colangelo. Most prosecutors see themselves as working in law enforcement; Colangelo specializes in anti-Trump enforcement. He comes to the DA’s office from a stint as one of the very top lawyers in the Biden Justice Department... To put it mildly, it is highly unusual for a lawyer in so lofty a federal perch to decamp to a county DA’s office for a line-prosecutor post — even allowing that the county is in the Big Apple and the trial gig is a prosecution of Donald Trump, which will make Colangelo a very famous fellow. But in this instance, it is a seamless transition. Prior to joining the top echelon of Biden’s Trump-hostile Justice Department, Colangelo had worked at the New York attorney general’s office — where Bragg was then a top deputy and where Colangelo specialized in lawsuits against Trump and his organization. It was Colangelo’s work against Trump that Bragg touted in running for district attorney in blue, blue Manhattan." "The best collusion evidence in the New York case is the silence of the Justice Department and the Federal Election Commission." "The Department of Justice is so territorial about its jurisdiction that it would make a tiger wilt in admiration. Similarly, the FEC jealously guards its turf. Do you really think for a moment that the Biden Justice Department and the FEC would sit in silent passivity if any other state prosecutor, besides Bragg in this particular case, usurped federal authority and undertook to enforce federal law — in a matter as to which the DOJ and FEC, after thoroughly investigating, had decided not to prosecute? Unlike Trump, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign actually did violate the campaign-finance laws by misdescribing its disbursements in concocting the Russiagate smear (e.g., the production of the Steele dossier) as legal expenses rather than opposition research. Consequently, the FEC fined Clinton’s campaign." [Biden, Loathsome Left, Politics, Lawfare]
Jun 8, 2024 ~ Jonathan Turley, professor of law at George Washington University and not a Trump supporter explains what a politically motivated farce the Trump 'hush money' trial was: "So Trump was convicted in a trial with a Biden donor judge, who has a daughter who is a major Democratic operative, a lead prosecutor previously paid as a DNC political consultant and a jury selected in a district that voted roughly 90% against Trump." "Even liberal legal analysts have admitted that the case against Trump was unprecedented and would not have been brought against anyone other than Trump ... The trial itself was a travesty. Even after sitting in the courtroom watching the trial and the verdict, I still have no idea what Trump was convicted of in the case. This was a thrill-kill conviction, and the response of many in the media bordered on the indecent. For many outside of Manhattan, the scene was repulsive and chilling. You can hate Donald Trump but still be repelled by the use of the criminal justice system for political purposes." [Loathsome Left, Politics, Lawfare]
Jun 8, 2024 ~ Dennis Prager, 'America Has Its First Show Trial' "The Left has done something never done before in American history: put on trial a former president and the opposition political party candidate for president... The reason for the trial was the same reason dictatorships put opponents on trial: to prevent them from assuming or regaining power. When dictatorships do this, such as in the former Soviet Union, we call it a show trial -- because the verdict has been predetermined. The 'hush money trial' was such a trial. The first such trial of an American president and head of the opposition in American history." "The corrupt judge prevented the most important expert defense witness from testifying on Trump's behalf. But the Left got what it wanted: the right to label President Trump, in the words of the lead editorial in the similarly corrupt New York Times, 'Donald Trump, Felon.' We are bequeathing our children and grandchildren a completely different country than the one our parents, grandparents and Founders bequeathed to us.

Jun 8, 2024 ~ 'America Has Crossed the Rubicon' "Donald Trump’s conviction on nonsensical misdemeanor process crimes, beyond the statute of limitations, a dispute over whether fees paid to a lawyer were actually legal fees (as opposed to what, medical bills?), that these payments influenced an election concluded a year before said payments were made, tried within a rigged courtroom construct by a conflicted judge and attorneys guaranteeing a guilty verdict, and last but not least federal charges inappropriately tried at the state level after the feds declined to pursue these charges. These all blew up Lady Justice’s scales and any premise of due process or equal protection under the law. The die has indeed been cast. When those in charge can prosecute and imprison their political opponents, any semblance of democracy is long gone, the Rubicon crossed." [Loathsome Left, Politics, Lawfare]

The idea that government should tell people what kind of car they can or can’t purchase is fundamentally wrong.

They write the “Right to Contraception Act” and load it with poison pills that Republicans could never vote for and then say "see, Republicans want to ban contraception." “Thanks to Donald Trump and the right-wing MAGA Supreme Court, Americans now have to question whether or not they’ll have access to something as basic and widely supported as birth control,” lying Chuck Schumer ridiculously claims.

"The thing is, those appalled by my position often fail to grasp how truly despicable I find theirs. I’ve watched “no debate” become the slogan of those who once posed as defenders of free speech. I’ve witnessed supposedly progressive men arguing that women don’t exist as an observable biological class and don’t deserve biology-based rights. I’ve listened as certain female celebrities insist that there isn’t the slightest risk to women and girls in allowing any man who self-identifies as a woman to enter single-sex spaces reserved for women, including changing rooms, bathrooms or rape shelters."
"One of the things that has most shocked me throughout this debacle has been the determined deafness of so many opinion-makers to whistleblowers at the UK’s now-discredited Tavistock gender identity clinic. Medics who were resigning from the service in unusually high numbers asserted that autistic and same sex-attracted young people, and those who’d experienced abuse — groups that were over-represented among those seeking to transition — were being fast-tracked towards irreversible medical interventions of questionable benefit by activist groups and ideologue medics. Those whistleblowers have since been completely vindicated: after an independent investigation, it’s to be closed."
"I believe we’re witnessing the greatest assault of my lifetime on the rights our foremothers thought they’d guaranteed for all women. Ultimately, I spoke up because I’d have felt ashamed for the rest of my days if I hadn’t. If I feel any regret at all, it’s that I didn’t speak far sooner." [Anti-Science, Feminism, Gender, Trans]

Jun 1, 2024 ~ 'Trump Found Guilty. Pray For The Republic' "The actual methodology by which he was found guilty is utterly uncertain. The reality is there were two crimes alleged: a misdemeanor falsification of business records — which would not have resulted in any possible jail time — but to become a felony that was reliant on other unspecified crimes. And those crimes could have been a violation of federal finance law — except that Donald Trump clearly did not violate federal finance law. Not only that, the federal government never even bothered to charge him with violating federal finance law, federal election law in 2016. Check your calendar. It is currently 2024, and the case that New York just made is effectively that Donald Trump violated election law in 2016 and falsified business records in 2017. Somehow, despite the fact that the statute of limitations has run already, this is now a class E felony in the state of New York, lengthening the statute of limitations. The number of hoops they had to jump through in order to manufacture this case, is extraordinary. The number of pretzel-like contortions the prosecution had to drag the jury through was extraordinary. This is a thwarting of basic standards of democracy; To take a political opponent on trumped-up charges, find him guilty, and then throw him in jail for purposes of the election, is insanity. It is third-world crap. It is insanity. You’ve got all the same people crying, 'Trump will be a tyrant. Trump will undermine the rule of law. We cannot have a country with Donald Trump, who will certainly destroy democracy.' It is hard for me to think of anything less democratic than trumping up a charge on your political opponent to jail him during an election cycle. Especially when the candidate on your side is losing, which is what Joe Biden is doing right now." [Ben Shapiro, Loathsome Left, Politics, Lawfare]

Jun 1, 2024 ~ 'In Memory of Justice' Judge Merchan's kangaroo court convicts Trump of 34 felonies! This is the most corrupt trial in history. A politically motivated abuse of power from start to finish. Alvin Bragg campaigned by promising to 'get Trump.' Bragg's co-prosecutor in the case, Matthew Colangelo is a well-known Democratic partisan who served as a political consultant to the Democratic National Committee! Colangelo came straight to Bragg's team from Biden's DOJ where he was AG Garland's 3rd ranking prosecutor. Bragg charged Trump with a minor misdemeanor (mislabeling an expense) with an expired statute of limitation. He claimed the SOL doesn't matter because Trump mislabeled the expense to cover up a felony. But then he never specified the felony. He threw out a few (federal, not in his jurisdiction) in the closing argument that it 'could have been' but none were actually valid which is why he didn't even bother trying to prove them. The corrupt judge instructed the jury that they didn't even have to agree with each other on which crime they thought Trump committed, (nor did the prosecution need to prove a crime was committed) for them to find Trump guilty! Bragg took the minor expense mislabeling and multiplied it by a random number (34) and poof, Trump committed 34 FELONIES! Merchan, who donates to Biden, Democrats and a group called 'Stop Republicans', disallowed exculpatory witnesses and gave the jury instructions guaranteed to get conviction. Now Democrats and celebs are celebrating claiming Trump was guilty of committing 34 felonies. Not one of them can explain 1 of those felonies, let alone 34. Most know it was all a total farce but don't care because abusing power is fine to these people if it means they can damage Trump's chances in the election. Democrats have turned the courts into a political weapon. What is ironic is that 'election interference' is one of the 'felonies' they throw out as the crime Trump 'might' have committed (he didn't) justifying extending the statute of limitations of the misdemeanor. But there is no bigger election interference than this and the rest of the lawfare waged being by Democrats. Andrew McCarthy: "What happened in Manhattan was monstrous. The fallout is the antithesis of a constitutional republic that presumes innocence, imposes the burden of proof on the state, venerates its due-process rules, and guarantees equal protection of law. The antithesis is now the norm. Regardless of what happens to Donald Trump, all of us will live to regret it." [Loathsome Left, Politics, Lawfare]
May 30, 2024 ~ 'Trump's Trial Has Already Damaged the Office of the Presidency'
"In bringing a series of deeply flawed cases against Trump, both federal and local prosecutors have violated Jackson’s principles. They have targeted an unpopular figure first and looked for the crime second. “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime,” Stalin’s secret-police chief Lavrentiy Beria reportedly said."
"The superficiality of the facts and the vagueness of the crimes magnify the harm that Democrats have inflicted on our political norms. Make no mistake, Democrats have crossed a constitutional Rubicon. For the first time in American history, they have brought criminal charges against a former president. For the first time in American history, they have brought criminal charges against the major (and leading) opposition candidate for president during the campaign. If elected leaders, whom our constitutional system vests with the authority over prosecution, must break American political practice that goes back to 1789, they should do so for a compelling reason and an airtight case. Instead, they’ve brought a prosecution in which the facts presented had almost nothing to do with the charges and the charges are unconstitutionally vague and beyond the authority of the district attorney. The weakness of the case against Trump lowers the bar for prosecuting future presidents below that for prosecuting garden-variety criminals in New York City. While Bragg scrutinizes Trump for alleged accounting misdeeds, he has sought no bail and little jail time for such crimes as theft and assault." [Politics, Lawfare]

May 27, 2024 ~ Byron York, 'The Insanity at the Heart of the Trump Trial' "So Trump faced felony charges without knowing what he was accused of doing. And the really amazing thing is that the trial is now underway and Bragg has still not specified what the other crime is. It is a key element of the case. Without it, the charges against Trump could never have been brought because they were misdemeanors long past the statute of limitations. It is the other crime that makes this whole prosecution possible. But the prosecutor has not specified what it is. If that sounds vaguely unconstitutional to you, you're right. As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy points out, the Fifth Amendment 'requires a felony charge to be spelled out in an indictment whose criminal elements have been established by probable cause to the satisfaction of a grand jury.' The problem, McCarthy continues, is that the election-stealing conspiracy Bragg's prosecutors are accusing Trump of engaging in is 'not charged in the indictment' and, further, 'there is no such conspiracy crime in New York penal law.' McCarthy also argues that the charges violate the New York Constitution." [Loathsome Left, Politics, Lawfare]

May 27, 2024 ~ UCLA is an examples of once good medical school that torched its education and reputation on the alter of DIE and CRT. UCLA dropped from 8th the 18th after Jennifer Lucero took over and made DIE a priority. "In some of the cohorts she admitted, more than 50 percent of students failed standardized tests on emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics." Lucero said, "The candidate's scores shouldn't matter. We need people like this [i.e. with this color skin] in the medical school." Failure rates increased 10 fold since 2020. "One professor said that a student in the operating room could not identify a major artery when asked, then berated the professor for putting her on the spot. Another said that students at the end of their clinical rotations don't know basic lab tests and, in some cases, are unable to present patients." "And for those who've seen the competency crisis up close, double standards in admissions are a big part of the problem. 'All the normal criteria for getting into medical school only apply to people of certain races,' an admissions officer said. 'For other people, those criteria are completely disregarded.'" "UCLA still produces some very good graduates," one professor said. "But a third to a half of the medical school is incredibly unqualified." "Race-based admissions have turned UCLA into a ‘failed medical school,’ a former member of the admissions staff said. “‘We want racial diversity so badly, we’re willing to cut corners to get it.’" Unfortunately, because these woke medical schools hold black people to lower standards, sometimes much lower standards, they've made it such that people can no longer take the risk of using a black doctor.

I stood up for George -- with George Floyd's family to help create a country where you don't need to have that talk with your son or grandson as they get pulled over. What is democracy if a trail of broken promises still leave black communities behind? What is democracy if you have to be ten times better than everyone else to get a fair shot? ... What does it mean ... to be a Black man who loves his country even if it doesn't love him back in equal measure?" None of this is true but if the new graduates believe it they will be demoralized and hate back a country they are told hates them.

May 27, 2024 ~ Bill Maher on the ideas of the modern left: "you can be healthy at any weight and gender is always a social construct and maybe we should give communism another try and maybe we should get rid of capitalism and the Border Patrol. And let’s tear down statues of Lincoln and get rid of the police. Just, you know, know, no. It’s not that I’ve gotten old, it’s that your ideas are stupid." [Politics]
