A REALISTIC DISCUSSION ABOUT RACISM.

LAFFER CURVE DISCUSSION

VANITY FAIR ON CNN &CO To understand the political divide in the US today, this liberal perspective on what's going on with CNN today is a must read.  The divide is huge and probably not bridgeable.  The left is committed to not just opposing everything Trump says but everything he represents.  In the article the personalities at CNN all claim to want to hear all sides of the story but that it's difficult because the pro Trump people lie so much.  This statement belies their claim to objectivity since the assumption is only one side of the political divide lies making it impossible to present the whole argument fairly.  Ironically, these faux newspeople don't realize that by condemning only one side as liars, they are betraying their own deep-seated bias and accounting for their universal condemnation of all things Trump.  Sadly they are prospering, for the moment, as never before.

WELFARE STATE RESULTS -PIC WORTH 1000 WORDS

STEVEN THE TURNCOAT MORALIST AT NYT.Bret Stevens, the young once conservative columnist for the WSJ, has become a never trump soldier.  What he should do is take time off from satisfying his media overlords at the Times with Trump bashing columns and read up on what happens when socialists take over a country through the mechanisms of the state.  He might, might, see that Trump represents, at this time in history, our best chance of resisting and turning back the cancerous growth of the administrative state, a growth that has been growing steadily since Woodrow Wilsons progressive administration.  Unfortunately this will not happen because Stevens now has what hen has always sought, the approval of the liberals and a platform that allows him to reinforce the moral superiority of the progressive movement.  Stevens, a young man in his early forties,  is finally on the Obama "right side of history'" team, the one that leads directly to socialism and the fate of Cubans, Venezuelans and all the other victims of the siren call of a perfect world made perfect by the enlightened policies of an enlightened cadre of government planners and edicts.  Welcome to a more perfect version of the USSR.

DEFINING MULTICULTURISM IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

WONDERFUL DEBATE ABOUT CHURCHILL

THE HACKING HOAX AND THE HACKS IN ACADEMIA.

A YOUNG CONSERVATIVE SPEAKS ABOUT LIBERL ZOMBIES.

I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW:  Think Professors Are Liberal? Try School Administrators: The ideological bent of those overseeing collegiate life is having the biggest impact on campus culture.

I soon learned that the Office of Student Affairs, which oversees a wide array of issues including student diversity and residence life, was organizing many overtly progressive events — programs with names like “Stay Healthy, Stay Woke,” “Microaggressions” and “Understanding White Privilege” — without offering any programming that offered a meaningful ideological alternative. These events were conducted outside the classroom, in the students’ social and recreational spaces.
The problem is not limited to my college. While considerable focus has been placed in recent decades on the impact of the ideological bent of college professors, when it comes to collegiate life — living in dorms, participating in extracurricular organizations — the ever growing ranks of administrators have the biggest influence on students and campus life across the country. . . .
Intrigued by this phenomenon, I recently surveyed a nationally representative sample of roughly 900 “student-facing” administrators — those whose work concerns the quality and character of a student’s experience on campus. I found that liberal staff members outnumber their conservative counterparts by the astonishing ratio of 12-to-one. Only 6 percent of campus administrators identified as conservative to some degree, while 71 percent classified themselves as liberal or very liberal. It’s no wonder so much of the nonacademic programming on college campuses is politically one-sided.
The 12-to-one ratio of liberal to conservative college administrators makes them the most left-leaning group on campus. In previous research, I found that academic faculty report a six-to-one ratio of liberal to conservative professors. Incoming first-year students, by contrast, reported less than a two-to-one ratio of liberals to conservatives, according to a 2016 finding by the Higher Education Research Institute. It appears that a fairly liberal student body is being taught by a very liberal professoriate — and socialized by an incredibly liberal group of administrators.

All subsidized — whether at public or private institutions — by taxpayers who are much less liberal, but have no say.

RON PAUL ON CRYPTOCURRENCIES AND FREEDOM.

EXCELLENT TAKEDOWN OF GEORGE WILL'S CRAZY PROSCRIPTION FOR TRUMP. STILL WHAT THE AUTHOR FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE, for some reason, is Trump's success igniting the revival of the economy, a function of the confidence he instills in the grass roots business entrepreneurs.  Eliminating vast numbers of useless regulations imposed by the Deep State over many administrations.

AMAZING STORY:Corruption runs deep in FBI and Obama Admin.And here's proof.  Minor infraction: major penalty.  That describes the new democrat way of exercising power.  Lock'em all up. and fast.

YES.Feckless Obama

Schadenfreude.

Healthcare cost solution that actually makes sense. Therefore it won't be implemented.  Real problem is it doesn't provide for keeping politicians from meddling.  Also it doesn't provide for healthcare for the improvident.  I say back to the faith based, charitable model for this particular problem.

The whole system must be scrapped. Start over and leave it to individuals and insurance companies to sort it out.

Patricia McCarthy absolutely nails it. Wow! What a succinct take down of the cemocrats of today.  They have become parodies of themselves in their hatred of Trump.  Trumps election if nothing else has the wonderful effect of exposing frauds of all stripes, most of whom are lefties.

2018 Grad Decries Political Correctness At Stanford Law School

Stanford Law School Logo (2015)National Review:  Political Correctness at Stanford Law, by Martin  J. Salvucci (J.D. 2018, Stanford):
The undergraduate college regularly boasts the nation’s lowest acceptance rates, and both the graduate business school and the law school likewise rank at the very top of their respective fields.
But all is not well on a campus where many T-shirts bear Stanford’s unofficial mantra that “Life Is Good!” Last year, former provost John Etchemendy warned publicly of a threat from within — a “growing intolerance” that has manifested as a sort of “political one-sidedness.” His admonition was, predictably, politely ignored. However, my experience at Stanford Law School suggests that, if anything, Etchemendy has understated the scope and the scale of the challenge that elite universities now face.
At Stanford Law School, no more than three of approximately 110 full-time faculty publicly identify as conservative or libertarian. (By way of contrast, Stanford Law School touts on its webpage 23 full-time faculty under the inartful rubric of “minority.”) As a consequence, many of my classmates will graduate having never engaged with a law professor whose worldview and convictions track those of nearly half the voting public.
It would require nothing less than willful blindness to presume this state of play does not affect the education that students receive. Probably for obvious reasons, my classmates demonstrate little willingness to identify publicly with anything associated with conservatism or, God forbid, President Trump, no matter how trivial. By way of extraordinary example, the Law School Republicans will soon cease to exist as a student organization because — after a campaign of intimidation and opprobrium — not one underclassman would volunteer to serve on its board next academic year.
An almost unspoken agreement seems to exist among many students that all of us will soon be fabulously successful, so long as everyone remains a “team player” and nobody rocks the boat too earnestly. Political, moral, and religious convictions are, for the most part, accessories best deployed for instrumental purposes, rather than values to be espoused or explored for their own sake. In much the same manner that all respectable people may speak or dress or eat a certain way, students at Stanford Law School have come to believe — and not entirely without reason, given their surroundings — that all respectable people should think the same way. ...
For the past two years, I have repeatedly beseeched the dean of Stanford Law School to follow the example set by the leaders of my undergraduate alma mater — the University of Chicago — and publicly affirm the centrality of viewpoint diversity to the aims of education. Each time, she has refused, citing squeamishness at the prospect of overstepping her portfolio. Yet during that same period, she has nonetheless offered schoolwide commentary on public topics as diverse as the violence in Charlottesville, the rescission of DACA, and the Trump administration’s efforts to ban transgender individuals from military service.
Beyond the Office of the Dean, Stanford Law School has staged programs aimed at helping students to #resist more effectively, celebrating International Workers’ Day and offering advice on “progressive lawyering” in the Trump era. Professors have sent schoolwide emails condemning anyone who supported President Trump as either an outright racist or an enabler who is #complicit. One professor even saw fit to join a student/alumni Facebook group for the purposes of criticizing the Law School Republicans. ...
Stanford Law School is organized, at least theoretically, as a professional school. And students gamely pay nearly $100,000 per year for the promise that they’ll receive an education that ensures their place within the ranks of America’s finest advocates. Of course, they actually receive something closer to three years of self-affirmation, navel-gazing, and a variety of more or less amusing games played by consenting intellectual adults. Genuine advocacy, by contrast, requires resolution of conflicts through adversarial engagement with mutually exclusive perspectives.

WELCOME TO RUSSIA, WITH LOVE: This is repulsive, repugnant, horrific, and disgusting. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone at this point in time. Salovey should go. Bring in the President of the University of Chicago. Get rid of ALL diversity bureaucrats.

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION: This is called fed up, really pissed, enraged and frustrated. And he's right.  When you deal with the Swamp, this is what you have to put up with on a daily basis.  Sad. They're messing with the essence of our system and if they win, corruption becomes a way of life.

MIXING POLITICS AND MEDIA:Equals fraud, corruption and the end of the media as we've known it.

THE WITCH HUNT EXPLAINED: Pretty much sums the whole thing up. A national disgrace.In addition a warning to everyone who didn't already know, there are a lot of sleezy, unscrupulous, two-faced legal types out there who will use the cover of law to destroy lives to accomplish their ends.

BOY SCOUTS NO MAS:Social Justice Warriors strike again.This   is sad.  I wasn't a Boy Scout but I know some who were.  Their experience reflects the sentiments in this article.  Some things are for boys only, etc.  Meanwhile the soviets continue their march through our western culture.  Eventually all will be equal, all will be special, and nothing will ever get accomplished again.  Too late for my generation but one can surely hope the next one manages to push back and save us from the social engineers and their evil intentions.

THE REAL SKINNY ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?: There's so much b.s. out there from democrat circles it's hard tomcat at the truth. This comment on the issue draws distinctions and makes good sense.  The two powerful forces for unlimited immigration are the dems (who want the votes), and the free market types, who have their own good reasons.

BULLSHIT JOBS IN ACADEME:The author's right about competition, for sure, as the solution to useless jobs.

TRANSGENDERISM AND PROGRESSIVISM: Smmary of article in NR: full article here: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/04/the_trials_and_tribulations_of_the_transgenders.html

As has often times been noted, all the surgery and hormone treatments in the world cannot change the chromosomal makeup of each of the trillion of cells in a person's body. For males, the chromosome pair is XY and females it's XX. Given that fact and the problems in transitioning into another gender with surgery and/or hormone treatments, it is little wonder then that those with gender dysphoria have a 41% rate for suicides or attempted suicides compared with just 4.6% of the general population.
For a particularly enlightening view of the absurdity of  here's a story from the Federalist website of one person who tried it while on active military service and his negative views on the matter. Jamie Shupe writes, 
"The sex change process is inherently and fatally flawed because even if science eventually proves transgender people are more than the sum of their currently visible and measurable birth biology, this would make them intersex -- a mixture of male and female. It would not make transgender persons the complete opposite sex.
Nor should the military be involved in attempting to medically shoehorn trans service members into the opposite sex, something at which they can't possibly succeed. Because of the 'at best' case of mixed male and female biology in this scenario, the transgender person will always be plagued by gender dysphoria. It's the equivalent of claiming a mixed-race person can be made white or black by a medical treatment."
Shupe uses a useful term here that I haven't heard before in describing transgender people -- intersex. This implies that these poor souls who undergo sex change surgeries and heavy hormone treatments are neither fish nor fowl. Biologically and scientifically speaking, that is correct. 
And 'poor souls' also describes many transgender people. These people have a problem (gender dysphoria), and they are being encouraged by powerful cultural forces in society to mutilate and distort their bodies in trying to become something they can't. Of course, those who are egging them on have their own agenda which is not the best interest of the gender-conflicted. But this is a common tactic of the progressive Left. Causalities on the road to Utopia do not trouble them in the least. As Joe Stalin said, you have the break a few eggs to make an omelet.

MUSLIM BELIEF MYTHS:Is this accurate? No reason to assume not. This is a failed and dangerous religion unless some credible Muslims can debunk this information.

WHO'S RESPONSBLE? Answer: Both parties, Dems 10 times more b/c of entitlements.

MELANI PHILLIPS ON MUSLIMS: It's all about coming to grips with modernity.

STIGLITZ THE SOCIALIST: Its always the same with socialist, "The rich are greedy swine determined to keep the rest of us down".

CURRENCY CRISES?:Sounds like pick your poison at this point.

BROKEN GOP PROMISES: We'll see how this ends up. GHWB revisited?

MOST OF OUR SOCIETY'S PATHOLOGIES ARE HERE:And the cures are here, Too!

RACISM IS RAMPANT:And it flows from Obama. There is only a remote chance of solving this societal problem until the last vestiges of the Obama years are washed away. It was Obama who hired his fellow racists for key domestic agencies and they all proceeded to blame the whitesw for the failings of the blacks.  The whole thing dates to LBJ whose objective with his policies was to secure a stable, long-lasting coalition that would keep the deomcrats in power for generations.  Democrats are good at playing the game of politics in ways the Republicans have not even thought of.  This is because democrats play the government as though it was their business, exempt from the ruls of the free market.  When Republicans understand how they think and the strategies they use, they will always be behind the political curve and the American citizens will be subjected to the tyranny of the mob.:

TIES TO HILLARY?:Weird to sa the least.

DISGRACEFUL AT A MINIMUM:Where's McConnell?

VERY SHORT AND ACCURATE SUMMARY OF WHERE WE ARE: Make no mistake we are in a struggle for existence. We must prevail.

THIS FROM TAKI RE FIU BRIDGE:Give me a break, Diversity Bridge??Engineered by FIU grads??

DRAINING THE SWAMP:  This is going to take a while.

SAMUELSON EXPOSES DECEIT OF LIBERALS: My question is why do they keep lying about the and other subjects. Of course the simple answer is because that's their nature.  But the real answer is more likely that they really want to simply increase the ninvolvement of government in our collective lives by increasing the "benefits" extended to the poor and they don't believe government debt means anything.

THE UTTER DISPICABLE HEIGHTS OF HYPOCRISY: Can't say it too often, if the media didn't have double standards, it wouldn't have any standards.

COLLEGE A WASTE OF MONEY?No doubt about it things have changed. How much is up for debate.

INTERSTINGN TAKE ON CHINA VS US: We'll see if this analysis holds up but I find myself agreeing with its basic premise.

WHAT IS INFLATION?:Lively discussion in responses.

MEL TORME IS THE GREAT ONE:Wow, what a talent. Almost unbelievable.

AMERICAN LIBERALISM: The author hits all the right notes.

THE RACE NARRATIVE: THIS doesn't seem like rocket science. The narrative is promoted by democrats to further their political agenda. Makes me wonder if the author is naive when he fails to identify the actual cause of this attitude...

CLINTONS'S DUPLICITY: Nothing new here, of course:


JUDGMENT DAY IS COMING: And the media/establsihment won't like the results.

FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, GET READY: Politicians, including Trump, cannot, will not deal with this issue. Therefore, we are doomed. Period.

CLINTON/BUSH FOUNDATION CHICANRY;Yes, thad be W. Charles Ortel reporting

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION?: Will it never end
