Aug 10, 2024 ~ Flashback 2017: 'They Brushed Off Kamala Harris. Then She Brushed Us Off.' By Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Asra Q. Nomani.
Ali and Nomani tried to educate the Senate on the dangers of radical Islam and its worldwide oppression of women and Harris couldn't be less interested. Harris and the other Democratic women did "not ask either of us a single question."
"Just as we are invisible to the mullahs at the mosque, we were invisible to the Democratic women in the Senate."
"How to explain this experience? Perhaps Senators Heitkamp, Harris, Hassan and McCaskill are simply uninterested in sexism and misogyny."
"What happened that day was emblematic of a deeply troubling trend among progressives when it comes to confronting the brutal reality of Islamist extremism and what it means for women in many Muslim communities here at home and around the world. When it comes to the pay gap [which doesn't really exist], abortion access and workplace discrimination, progressives have much to say. But we’re still waiting for a march against honor killings, child marriages, polygamy, sex slavery or female genital mutilation."
"In the rubric of identity politics, our status as women of color is canceled out by our ideas, which are labeled “conservative” — as if opposition to violent jihad, sex slavery, genital mutilation or child marriage were a matter of left or right. This not only silences us, it also puts beyond the pale of liberalism a basic concern for human rights and the individual rights of women abused in the name of Islam."
"The silence of the Democratic senators is a reflection of contemporary cultural pressures. Call it identity politics, moral relativism or political correctness — it is shortsighted, dangerous and, ultimately, a betrayal of liberal values." [Harris, Identity Politics, Islam, Loathsome Left, Terrorism]
Nov 9, 2023 ~ Bari Weiss, 'End DEI'. Fantasic piece that shows why DIE ideology is pure poison. "What I saw was a worldview that replaced basic ideas of good and evil with a new rubric: the powerless (good) and the powerful (bad). It replaced lots of things. Colorblindness with race-obsession. Ideas with identity. Debate with denunciation. Persuasion with public shaming. The rule of law with the fury of the mob. People were to be given authority in this new order not in recognition of their gifts, hard work, accomplishments, or contributions to society, but in inverse proportion to the disadvantages their group had suffered, as defined by radical ideologues." "an ideological movement bent on recategorizing every American not as an individual, but as an avatar of an identity group, his or her behavior prejudged accordingly, setting all of us up in a kind of zero-sum game." "It claims to promote “equity,” but its answer to the challenge of teaching math or reading to disadvantaged children is to eliminate math and reading tests. It demonizes hard work, merit, family, and the dignity of the individual." "It is time to end DEI for good. No more standing by as people are encouraged to segregate themselves. No more forced declarations that you will prioritize identity over excellence. No more compelled speech. No more going along with little lies for the sake of being polite."

Nov 5, 2023 ~ Victor Davis Hanson, 'Premodern Diversity Vs. Civilizational Unity' Going all the way back to Rome, its clear that when new diverse people integrate into the culture and values of the larger society, it works well. But when their culture and values oppose the larger society, there are big problems. "Nations can prosper with heterodox peoples -- but only if united by a single, inclusive culture as the American melting-pot once attested." But, "a multicultural society of diverse, unassimilated, and often rival tribes -- historically is a prescription for collective suicide." "Tribalism wrecks nations." Immigration must be measured, legal, meritocratic, and diverse. "The old immigration once enriched America, but our new version is destroying it." [Identity Politics, Illegal Immigration, Immigration, Victor Davis Hanson]
Nov 4, 2023 ~ Now being taught in UK schools: Every identity group has its own flag EXCEPT 'straight' and 'cis.' They are blank. This shows that all wokeness is the same. The racial equivalent is that every group of people in the world are “people of color” except white people who have no color. Reject it all! [CRT DIE Wokeness, Identity Politics, LGBT, Racism, Trans]
Nov 4, 2023 ~ @EndWokeness posts "Scotland’s First Minister thinks there are too many white people in charge of Scotland (population: 96% white) Ireland’s First Minister thinks there are too many white people in charge of Ireland (population: 95% white) London’s Mayor thinks there are too many white people in charge of England (population: 85% white) I wonder if FM Yousaf, Mayor Khan,and PM Varadkar think Pakistan is too Pakistani, or does this only apply to white counties?" Do any non-white countries in the world think like this? Japan, China, India, African countries, South American countries, Middle Eastern countries, etc.? Are any of them insisting on a bigger minority presence in their government? [CRT DIE Wokeness, Identity Politics, Race, Racism]
Oct 13, 2023 ~ You can't make this up. California just passed a law creating an 'Ebony alert' to be used as an Amber Alert for missing black people. CA also has a 'feather alert' to be used for missing Indian people. Just when you think the left cannot get any more ridiculous and divisive. Bill Maher says Democrats are so adicted to playing 'identity politics', they are even "segregating kidnapping." [California, CRT DIE Wokeness, Identity Politics]
Oct 9, 2023 ~ Gavin Newsom replaces the late Dianne Feinstein with Laphonza Butler @LaphonzaB, a Black lesbian who doesn't even live in California.

Aug 18, 2023 ~ After changing the name of the Washington Redskins to the Commanders, we find out that 9 out of 10 Native Americans were opposed to doing that! Sheesh! They say Redskins carries with it “an obligation of honor and respect.” Using it “recognizes America’s original inhabitants,” “encourage[s] Americans to learn about, not cancel, the history of America’s tribes and our role in the founding of this Great Nation,” and acknowledges the “bravery, resilience, and warrior spirit associated with Native American culture.” As usual, white liberals decide (and get it wrong) what is best for minorities like pushing 'Latinx' and getting all black faces removed from grocery store shelves. [Cancel Culture, Identity Politics, Race]
Jul 10, 2023 ~ 38% of Brown University students identify as LGBTQ+, double 2010. Absurd obviously. People blame social contagion.

Feb 4, 2023 ~ Shelby Steele, "Past oppression cannot be conflated into present-day oppression. Blacks are now the victims of liberalism and wokeness. That's what's keeping us down, not racism. 'Systemic racism' is an idea to capture more black victimization. It is likely that today's racial disparities are due more to dysfunctions within the black community." [CRT DIE Wokeness, Fake Racism, Identity Politics, Race, Racism]
Dec 14, 2022 ~ Sam Brinton, Biden's Department of Energy's deputy assistant secretary for spent (nuclear) fuel and waste disposition was caught twice stealing other people's luggage.

Nov 19, 2022 ~ Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) was prevented from joining the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) because she is a Republican.

Jul 16, 2022 ~ CA mom Chelsea Boyle may sue Viejo Elementary for punishing her 7-year-old daughter because she wrote "any life” next to the words “Black Lives Matter” on a BLM picture she made for her black friend. But she wanted to include her other friends too. She was barred from making pictures for her friends and made to sit on the bench for 2 weeks during recess. And she was forced to apologize for saying 'any life.' So heartbreaking. The girl did not understand why she couldn't include her other friends. This is the poison Democrats inject. Viejo Elementary principal Jesus Becerra deemed the drawing to be 'racist' and 'inappropriate'; he stands by his actions.
