Yeah, I wouldn't cozy up to that dude. Obviously this skank should go to jail for this and get sued for defamation. However, there's a reason why she chose this guy to lie about. If you have a history of acting slimy, people will tend to believe others when they say you did something slimy even if you didn't do that particular slimy thing.
Apparently, you can condemn antisemitic attacks but only if you're sensitive to the people who are sympathetic to those who commit the attacks. Link.
Apparently, Jews are out attacking Palestinians in the streets of 'Merica. Who knew? These attacks are a result of the Jew-hating President Biden who is, at his core, a Nazi. For some reason, I get a tinge of happiness turning Liberal's own bullsh*t against them.
Let's get real; the attacks on our Jewish friends on our shores are directly related to the hatred directed at Israel from prominent members of the Democratic Party. While Trump called for a peaceful demonstration, the Jew haters on the Left are much more aggressive in their vile comments. We all know this.
You need to acknowledge the serious white supremacy running through the base. I was called a Jew and he said I was calling him the goyim on a Facebook thing encouraging vaccinations. Dude drinks his Kentucky deluxe about 15 miles north of me. He probably voted for the first time in November 2016. My brother about kicked his drunk *** about a month ago for accosting an Asian couple I’m the lone store in town for wearing a mask.
No, I don't need to acknowledge it. You need to acknowledge that the Left is using that as a political tool. What has happened in recent weeks is that AOC and The Squad have caused the problem with the ramp-up in Anti-Semitism.
Princeton Removes Greek, Latin Requirement for Classics Majors to Combat Systemic Racism Princeton Removes Greek, Latin Requirement for Classics Majors to Increase Inclusivity | National Review From the dictionary: Classics is a "school subject that involves the study of ancient Greek and Latin literature, philosophy, and history"...
"It's too hard..." And if you think it's useless (which I can understand) then so is HALF of the courses you take if you are going to college, you know, TO BE ABLE TO GET A GOOD JOB.
Who knew that, in the 2020's, some place like ITT Technical Institute and its ilk might become the most challenging place to get a degree that helped to produce income...
My two children took several years of Latin in high school. Guess what? THEY HATED IT. It wasn't easy at all. When they complained, I said, "Don't look at me." Their mother had some angle about Latin being the root of many languages blah blah but it didn't have any affect. We all know this. But us white folks (even half-Cuban white folks) don't get to complain about Latin being racist and all that. We were just told, "STUDY HARDER." Being white does not give you an advantage in Latin class. NOT. ONE. BIT.
Took a year of Latin at UT and a few classics courses. Thucydides was as thought provoking as any class I had other than geology. Latin and Greek have great literatures and our founding fathers borrowed abundantly from them in founding our republic. And of course our own Come and Take It is lifted directly from a Spartan king taunting the Persians I haven’t tried to make a living off what I learned from the ancients but I never thought of UT as a trade school anyway. If I wanted a trade rather than an education I could have gone to A&M
Studying other cultures in their own language is a must if you want to be an expert on the subject. If you want to understand the world we live in you need some understanding of the classics too.
Diversity doesn't make students learn better. Link . The reason it matters is that the presumption that it does is the primary "compelling state interest" the courts use to justify ignoring the 14th Amendment to allow for affirmative action.
An excellent explanation of what's wrong with CRT. Link. Just FYI - it's not that it's overly critical of the United States or blows racial issues out of proportion (though it is and it does). It's a lot deeper than that. As I've said before, it is irreconcilable with a free society. This writer explains why better than I can.
Sounds familiar. The commonality is empty headed students. EXCLUSIVE: UW-Madison to relocate historical Chamberlin Rock even after school officials confirm that no racist background exists
Mr. Deez, I agree with the article you linked to. It describes the problem with CRT very well. However, I cringe whenever I read people hold up the Enlightenment as the savior of the West. The Enlightenment was a secular, atheist movement within philosophy, science, and academia in the 17th century. Modern science was created and influential before the Enlightenment. Logic and reason was already held in high regard by the Medieval scholastics. We essentially didn't need it to enjoy the Scientific and Industrial revolutions. In fact, it has been the source of many of these secular, religious movements like Darwinism, Communism, and now Post-Modern Critical Theory.
Here's what we're up against. Note the date: 1929 So we are guilty today. That is why CRT needs to be deleted. We are not guilty. People in 1929 were guilty.
Just part of the dumbing down of America that’s going on at every level of education. Soon schools will only be teaching Critical Race Theory, Black History, and the 1609 Project. Kids will have to teach themselves practical skills on their own time that they can use to get a job.
That looks like Texas Rep. Senfronia Thompson (D-Houston). She has been in the legislature since about 1973, and she's surrounded by other far left members. They like racism. Thompson has pretty much made a career out of it.
I don't think you can pidgeonhole the Enlightenment to that extent. There was an atheist element to the Enlightenment, but much of it was not. I think the bigger priority to most Enlightenment thinkers was the separation of church and state more than an affirmative disbelief in God, and overall, I think that's a good thing. I'm a separation of church and state guy - not in the modern left-wing sense that just holds up the term as a reason to tell religious people who disagree with them to shut-up but in the true sense that the church and the government should be structurally separate institutions. That's better for both state and church. A lot of other good things came out of the Englightenment with regard to science, economics, and philosophy. John Locke and Adam Smith were Enlightenment thinkers. Even if they were the only good things to come out of the Englightenment, that's a lot of good.
I used to be positive on the Enlightenment until I learned more about it. It was the first step in the rot you see in Western culture and the World Wars directly came out of the secular, atheist thought it produced. Anything good that seemed to have come out of it wasn't Enlightenment based. It was religious people who were really a part of the movement. Still. I agree that the church and state should be separate entities. Any organization that allies with the state gets corrupted. That happened to the church. It happens to corporations all the time and is the cause of much of the economic problems we have. It now happens with science more and more. Science now is used to build government narratives. They fund research and get the answers they want to justify the policies they want to pursue. John Locke was good, but he wasn't as good as the political philosophers that came before him like Samuel Rutherford. What he got right, he got from Reformation political thinkers. Adam Smith was good too. But recognize that classical economic theory was started by Spanish and French scholastics. I do have to admit my favorite economists weren't religious though like Menger and Mises. They did follow scholastic tradition though but they were definitely secular. So I can't agree totally.
I saw late yesterday that she is trying to help Lina Quarantina hold onto control...Opinion requested from OAG as to whether the Governor's end of mask mandates supercedes the federal Order on public transportation. In other words, Metro is starting to see pushback from the riders who have a clue and don't want to wear a useless piece of cloth.
New Report Finds Traffic Crash Fatalities Disproportionately Affect Black, Indigenous and People of Color | GHSA Yes, you read that correctly...an agency is actually asserting racial bias and inequities in traffic fatalities AND WANTS FUNDING TO REDUCE INEQUITIES. This crap has no end. Vehicles don't know what race the driver and passenger(s) are. It also would not surprise me to see that two of those demographics see inflated numbers due to contributing factors related to CHOICES and not the race. You know...choices like alcohol and dope.
Solution: If paramedics realize car crash occupants are Anglo, leave them there. This may be hard for white paramedics at first, but then they'll see the value they are providing society.
