California Professor Demands That Editors Resign If They're White | pluralist "It's time to STEP DOWN and hand over the positions of power." An English professor at California State University, Fresno, last week tweeted that editors must resign if they are white. Randa Jarrar, an English professor at California State University, Fresno, said they should “hand over the positions of power” because merely holding such positions is “fuck up enough.” "At some point, all of us in the literary community must DEMAND that white editors resign," she said. "It's time to STEP DOWN and hand over the positions of power. We don't have to wait for them to fuck up. The fact that they hold these positions is fuck up enough." Jarrar, who is of Greek and Arab heritage, made her Twitter account private after coming under fire in April for a post celebrating the death of former first lady Barbara Bush, who she called "an amazing racist." ...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Socialist Face of Unserious Movement | National Review Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the Great Young Hope progressives deserve. When, last Thursday, she was asked an elementary question about spending, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez struck her best Cobra Kai pose. “I sat down with a Nobel Prize economist last week,” she exclaimed, contorting her face into Jack Nicholson’s and attempting to shoot webs from her fingers. “I can’t believe I can say that,” she added. “It’s really weird!”
Alas, nothing from this brush with greatness appears to have worn off on her. Mere seconds elapsed between the boast and the disaster that followed.
Speaking to a friendly Trevor Noah, Ocasio-Cortez revealed that
she does not know the difference between a one-year and a ten-year budget;
confused the recent increase in defense spending with the entire annual cost of the military;
implied that the population of the United States was around 800 million strong; and,
having been asked to defend her coveted $15 minimum wage, launched into a rambling and inscrutable diatribe about “private equity” firms that would have been a touch too harsh as a parody on South Park.
If anything, she was worse this time than she had been during her appearance on Firing Line a few days earlier, on which newly revamped show she
demonstrated her obliviousness to the fact that the United States economy exploded during the 1990s,
to the manner in which unemployment numbers are calculated, and
to even the most obvious facets of the Israel–Palestine question about which she has assured her supporters she is so passionate.
"Undocumented Immigrant" Is a Made-Up Term That Ignores the Law | The Heritage Foundation:
The Justice Department leadership is correct. Illegal alien is the correct legal term that should be used.
“Undocumented immigrant” is a politically correct, made-up term adopted by pro-illegal alien advocacy groups and liberal media outlets to obscure the fact that such aliens have violated U.S. immigration law and are in the country illegally.
Patriotism: The Secret of Trump's Success "The driving force behind Trump's winning for America is his powerful patriotism. Patriotism is a virtue that our politicians talk about a lot, in utterly empty ways. Many Democrats think it is a vice.
The left wing of the Democratic Party mistakes it for white nationalism.
Trump lives American patriotism.
It is the reason he ran for president and the reason he won.
He knows we are a great country.
Trump recognizes and is comfortable with power – his personal power, America's power.
He does not think power is toxic.
He thinks American and presidential power is wonderful and meant to be used for our common, national good. Our president loves to build..." Read on!

EXCLUSIVE: An "ugly" chapter that didn't make the Bestseller Book: The Politically Incorrect Guide® to Climate Change
Marc Morano of Climate Deport has given me exclusive publication of this special chapter, that is not included in the book. It details all of the comparisons to Holocaust deniers and RICO and death threats, etc. against climate skeptics. He writes:
Excerpts:
The Earth does not have a fever. Scientific evidence simply doesn’t support the belief that man-made climate change is a catastrophic threat to the planet. And unreliable climate models are poor substitutes for actual data.
Then why don’t more scientists buck the “consensus”? The answer is simple. Anyone who questions the climate change scare is attacked and threatened. As more and more scientists speak out, dissenting from the climate change orthodoxy, the attacks against them have increased...
Climate campaigners seem to think: If you can’t counter the message, silence the messenger.
From smears to intimidation to name-calling to lawsuits and threats of criminal prosecution, climate activists are leaving no stone unturned.
Activists—and “reporters” for theoretically objective media outlets— have targeted skeptical scientists.…
Black Gay Vet Scorches Democrat Party, Reveals What Drove Him To Become Conservative:
“I didn’t lose friends when I came out as gay. I’ve lost friends since coming out as Republican,” Smith told Watters.
“People do not understand it and these are the… left, that’s supposed to be so tolerant and inclusive. These are the people who were the first to shun me when I came out as conservative.”
“I have been called everything but child of God,” he added.
Noncitizens find it easy to register to vote, cast ballots - Washington Times
"A Russian national or any other noncitizen can easily influence a U.S. election by simply registering to vote in California — just ask Elizaveta Shuvalova.
Ms. Shuvalova said she didn’t even know her name was added to the San Francisco voter rolls in 2012, when she was a 21-year-old Russian citizen living legally in the U.S. but ineligible to vote. “I’ve never registered for anything in my entire life,” said Ms. Shuvalova, who became a U.S. citizen early last year.
“This is news to me.”
The Washington Times obtained a San Francisco County voter log that detailed Ms. Shuvalova’s registration history and presented the document to her. It showed that she signed up as a Democrat in July 2012 and that her registration was canceled in May 2016 after she told election officials she wasn’t a citizen. Her registration, as a Republican, was reactivated in March 2017.
“This is definitely a shocker to me.
It is like an identity fraud because this is not coming from my end,” said Ms. Shuvalova, who now lives in New York, works as a personal trainer and calls herself a Democrat.
“Like I told you, I haven’t even been a citizen during that time frame. So what can we do about it?”..." Read on.
