Film critic laments Charlie Brown’s lack of ‘non-white love interest’ in new ‘Peanuts’ movie

Film critic laments Charlie Brown’s lack of ‘non-white love interest’ in new ‘Peanuts’ movie | The American Mirror:
Peter Debruge, who is not only a film critic for Variety — but the *chief international* film critic! — really wanted to see the animated Charlie Brown make out with a “non-white love interest” in the new Peanuts movie.

Alas, Debruge’s desires will go unfilled as the filmmakers refused to “modernize.”

The “Chief International Film Critic” for the entertainment site is disappointed the characters — created in 1950 — don’t reflect Debruge’s world view.

He writes:

Like most classic jokes, “Peanuts” isn’t so much funny as mildly amusing, which is evidently one of the many aspects of Schulz’s legacy that his son Craig and grandson Bryan fought to protect as screenwriters and producers on the film (presumably trumping their genuinely hilarious collaborator, Paul Feig, also credited as a producer alongside co-writer Cornelius Uliano).

But a little modernization wouldn’t have hurt, especially in the diversity department. While Franklin remains Charlie Brown’s only brown friend, a non-white love interest would have been as progressive as Schulz’s tomboyish depiction of Peppermint Patty was back in the day. (emphasis added)

Readers almost universally ridiculed Debrudge’s suggestion to turn the movie into a “progressive” statement.

University hosts 'How To Bring Your Kids Up Gay' workshops

University hosts 'How To Bring Your Kids Up Gay' workshops - The College Fix:
"Boston University recently hosted “How To Bring Your Kids Up Gay” workshops, billed as “freewheeling” discussions on the topic.
The theme for the talks, held last week, was drawn from Eve Sedgwick’s 1991 essay “How to Bring Your Kids Up Gay: The War on Effeminate Boys.”
“This short, accessible text focused attention on the alarming rate of suicide among gay and gender non-conforming youth, and critiqued the failure of psychotherapists in the US to address this crisis with queer-affirmative interventions,” BU’s website states.
“[T]hese sessions aimed to foster intellectual community among students across the university, while also bringing together students and faculty members with shared intellectual interests outside the context of the classroom.”
But not everyone believes the discussions were innocuous or academically sound.
Journalist Robert Stacy McCain, a critic of feminist theory, offered his own take on the talks in a post on his blog The Other McCain titled: “The Queering of Feminism: Why Does ‘Equality’ Require Promoting Perversion?”
… Sedgwick assumes as her premise that any psychiatric problems (including suicide) experienced by homosexual or “gender-nonconforming children” can only be explained by society’s homophobia. According to Sedgwick, the psychiatric community’s “pathologizing diagnosis” of homosexuality as a mental disorder prior to 1973 was nothing but an expression of anti-gay bigotry and, in 1991, Sedgwick perceived a “danger” that psychiatry might continue to view “the effeminate boy” in this way. …
Feminism’s ironclad grip on academia means that parents who pay $48,436 a year to send their sons and daughters to Boston University can be certain that their children will never be exposed to any perspective on “sexuality and gender” that contradicts the “feminist and queer theory” …"

Spiritual Suicide: When European Churches Sell Their Souls to Islam

Spiritual Suicide: When European Churches Sell Their Souls to Islam - Michael Brown - Page 1:
"At a time when Christians in the Middle East are being tortured, beheaded, and crucified rather than denying Jesus, Christians in Europe – I should say so-called Christians – are renouncing the Great Commission and removing the cross (literally) to make peace with Muslims.
What kind of madness is this?
Last month, in Sweden, the Bishop of Stockholm “proposed a church in her diocese remove all signs of the cross and put down markings showing the direction to Mecca for the benefit of Muslim worshippers.”
As reported on Breitbart.com, “Calling Muslim guests to the church ‘angels’, the Bishop later took to her official blog to explain that removing Christian symbols from the church and preparing the building for Muslim prayer doesn’t make a priest any less a defender of the faith. Rather, to do any less would make one ‘stingy towards people of other faiths’.”..
It gets worse....

Jim Harbaugh: 'I take a vitamin every day; it's called a steak' | MLive.com:
"ANN ARBOR -- Well, here's a new one.
Jim Harbaugh's had plenty of interesting one-liners this season, and Monday night's might rank right up there with all of them.
Two weeks ago, it was Ernest Hemingway.
Last week, it was worms and machine guns.
Now?
Red meat, and how important it is to the growth and health of the human body.
"I take a vitamin every day," Harbaugh said on his radio show Monday night.
"It's called a steak."
Harbaugh was asked by listener question about how a parent might be able to get their young son in position to one day be a 6-foot-5 quarterback.
Obviously, the listener was angling for a Harbaugh milk answer -- which he dropped earlier this year.
But he took it one step further.
Because, of course, he did.
"I truly believe the No. 1 natural steroid is sleep, and the No. 2 natural steroid is milk, whole milk," Harbaugh said. 
"Three would be water. 
Four would be steak.
"(Steak) ... it goes with everything.""

UN planning 'International Tribunal of Climate Justice' to take countries to court

UN planning 'International Tribunal of Climate Justice' to take countries to court | Daily Mail Online
UN planning an 'international tribunal of climate justice' which would allow nations to take developed countries to court

• UN document reveals plans of International Tribunal of Climate Justice
• One of three suggested ways to implement agreed climate goals
• Draft by subsidiary body of UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
• If approved, it will be presented at UN climate summit in Paris in December

...In essence, this means that any UN member state who agrees to the international deal to tackle climate change and fails to honour its commitment can be brought before the tribunal.

The Paris conference seeks to unite all the world's nations in a single agreement on tackling climate change, with the goal of capping warming at two degrees...
The possibility of an International Tribunal of Climate Justice has been criticised in the U.S., where some commentators have argued that it will lead to developing nations dragging President Obama into court and bypassing Congress.
'Whatever they call it, countries who sign onto this agreement will be voting to expand the reach of the UN climate bureaucracy, cede national sovereignty, and create a one-way street along which billions will be redistributed from developed to poor nations,' claims CFACT co-founder Craig Rucker.
'Developed nations would be expected to slash their emissions while the "poor" [developing] countries expand theirs,' he adds.

Climate Change Kills the Mood: Economists Warn of Less Sex on a Warmer Planet - Bloomberg Business:
"Climate change has been blamed for many things over the years.
Never, until now, has anyone thought it was possible to see it as a kind of contraceptive.
Hot weather leads to diminished “coital frequency," according to a new working paper put out by the National Bureau of Economic Research. 
Three economists studied 80 years of U.S. fertility and temperature data and found that when it’s hotter than 80 degrees F, a large decline in births follows within 10 months.
Would-be parents tend not to make up for lost time in subsequent, cooler months.
An extra "hot day" (the economists use quotation marks with the phrase) leads to a 0.4 percent drop in birth rates nine months later, or  1,165 fewer deliveries across the U.S.
A rebound in subsequent months makes up just 32 percent of the gap.
The researchers, who hail from Tulane University, the University of California-Santa Barbara, and the University of Central Florida, believe that their findings give policymakers three major things to think about."

Woodward was a guest on Fox News Sunday when Chris Wallace asked him if the apparent disconnect in what the Obama administration was saying publicly and privately (that publicly they blamed the YouTube video but privately they were telling everyone it was a terrorist attack) ‘bothered him’?

The liberal icon responded there were legitimate questions to be asked in the situation about the inconsistencies and that the Benghazi scandal deserved being investigated. Woodward then went even further, “It better bother us. And this is the question we’re going to look at. And, you know, if she’s the nominee, she’s going to get a full field investigation by everyone."

Notable & Quotable: Tom Wolfe

Notable & Quotable: Tom Wolfe - WSJ:
From an interview with author Tom Wolfe by the National Endowment for the Humanities, on the occasion of his being honored as the NEH’s Jefferson Lecturer in 2006:

I make a distinction between intellectuals and people of intellectual achievement. . . .
An intellectual feeds on indignation and really can’t get by without it. 
The perfect example is Noam Chomsky. 
When Chomsky was merely the most exciting and most looked-to and, in many ways, the most profound linguist in this country if not the world, he was never spoken of as an American intellectual. Here was a man of intellectual achievement. 
He was not considered an intellectual until he denounced the war in Vietnam, which he knew nothing about. 
Then he became one of America’s leading intellectuals. 
He remains one until this day, which finally has led to my definition of an intellectual: 
An intellectual is a person who is knowledgeable in one field but speaks out only in others.

Victoria Fascinating story of courage!----Cross: Goes On a Suicide Charge. Didn’t Stop Screaming, Shooting & Killing Everything in His Path Until the Enemy Were In Full Retreat

Victoria Cross: Goes On a Suicide Charge. Didn’t Stop Screaming, Shooting & Killing Everything in His Path Until the Enemy Were In Full Retreat:
London Gazette, 27 July 1944 ], for the award of the Victoria Cross, Waken Hill, Imphal, India, 6 April 1944, Jemadar Abdul Hafiz, 3rd Bn, 9th Jat Regiment, Indian Army.

The citation reads as follows:
In Burma, in the early hours of the 6th April 1944, in the hills 10 miles North of Imphal, the enemy had attacked a, standing patrol of 4 men and occupied a prominent feature overlooking a Company position. At first light a patrol was sent out and contacted the enemy, reporting that they thought approximately 40 enemy were in position. It was not known if they had dug in during the hours of darkness.

The Company Commander ordered Jemadar Abdul Hafiz to attack the enemy, with two sections from his platoon, at 0930 hours. An artillery concentration was put down on the feature and Jemadar Abdul Hafiz led the attack. The attack was up a completely bare slope with no cover, and was very steep near the crest. Prior to the attack, Jemadar Abdul Hafiz assembled his sections and told them that they were invincible, and the entire enemy on the hill would be killed or put to flight. He so inspired his men that from the start the attack proceeded with great dash.

When a few yards below the crest the enemy opened fire with machine-guns and threw grenades. Jemadar Abdul Hafiz sustained several casualties, but immediately ordered an assault, which he personally led, at the same time shouting the Mohammedan battle cry.

The assault went in without hesitation and with great dash up the last few yards of the hill, which was very steep. On reaching the crest Jemadar Abdul Hafiz was wounded in the leg, but seeing a machine-gun firing from a flank, which had already caused several casualties, he immediately went towards it and seizing the barrel pushed it upwards, whilst another man killed the gunner.

Jemadar Abdul Hafiz then took a Bren gun from a wounded man and advanced against the enemy, firing as he advanced, and killing several of the enemy. So fierce was the attack, and all his men so inspired by the determination of Jemadar Abdul Hafiz to kill all enemy in sight at whatever cost, that the enemy, who were still in considerable numbers on the position, ran away down the opposite slope of the hill.

Regardless of machine-gun fire which was now being, fired at him from another feature a few hundred yards away, he pursued the enemy, firing at them as they retired. Jemadar Abdul Hafiz was badly wounded in the chest from this machine-gun fire and collapsed holding the Bren gun and attempting to fire at the retreating enemy, and shouting at the same time “Re-organise on the position and I will give covering fire.” He died shortly afterwards.

The inspiring leadership and great bravery displayed by Jemadar Abdul Hafiz in spite of having been twice wounded, once mortally, so encouraged his men that the position was captured, casualties inflicted on the enemy to an extent several times the size of his own party, and enemy arms recovered on the position which included 3 Lewis Machine-guns, 2 grenade dischargers and 2 officers’ swords. The complete disregard for his own safety and his determination to capture and hold the position at all costs was an example to all ranks, which it would be difficult to equal.

Jemadar Abdul Hafiz was killed during his VC action and was buried in the Imphal Indian Army War Cemetery, Manipur State.

Good read. Scary read-----Who Was Right: Orwell or Huxley?

Who Was Right: Orwell or Huxley? | Intellectual Takeout
From the Foreword of Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, in which he compares the dystopian visions of George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World:
“What Orwell feared were those who would ban books.

What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. 

Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. 

Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. 

Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. 

Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. 

Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumplepuppy. 

As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny ‘failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.’ 

In 1984, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pleasure. 

In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. 

Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.”

Bad news for liberals: giant solar plant has HUMONGOUS problem

Bad news for liberals: giant solar plant has HUMONGOUS problem - Allen B. West - AllenBWest.com
Despite concerns about its costs to taxpayers and effect on a fragile desert environment, the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility was approved by the Obama Department of Energy, cleared regulatory hurdles of the Department of the Interior, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Wildlife, Fish & Game, S.E.C, I.R.S and others and construction was begun in 2010.
The Dept. of Energy granted Ivanpah $1.6 billion in loan guarantees plus as a ‘green-energy’ project it also qualified for and received more than $600 million in federal tax credits!
So proud of this ‘advance’ in power production was President Obama that he routinely heaped praised upon the project as a shining example of America’s clean energy future.
In October of 2010, from the future site of the facility, on his weekly radio address the President said, “With projects like this one we’re putting Americans to work producing clean, home-grown American energy.”
Well, Ivanpah is completed, up, running and functional and guess what?
It’s not so “clean” after all AND to add insult to injury, it’s inefficient too!
Turns out Ivanpah uses a lot of fossil fuel, primarily natural gas, to pre-heat water at the top of its towers prior to sunrise and it has massive auxiliary gas boilers that come on ….when there’s cloud cover blocking the sun.
According to the Press Enterprise in Riverside, CA, data from the California Energy Commission shows the plant burned enough natural gas in 2014 — its first year of operation — to emit more than 46,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. 
That’s nearly twice the pollution threshold for power plants or factories in California to be required to participate in the state’s cap-and-trade program to reduce carbon emissions.
The same amount of natural gas burned at a conventional power plant would have produced enough electricity to meet the annual needs of 17,000 California homes – about 25 percent of the Ivanpah plant’s total electricity projection for 2014!!
...The facility is cooking birds mid-flight, over 3,500 of them in its first year, according to the Desert Sun.
...“It feels like a bait and switch,” Lamfrom said.
“This project was held up as a model of innovation.
We didn’t sign up for greener energy.
We signed up for green energy.”
So you’ve been bait and switched by the Obama administration, Mr. Go Green?
Welcome to the club, brother.

"It might be the world's most expensive gas station — not to mention a gross misuse of taxpayer money, according to a top government watchdog.
The lead oversight team monitoring U.S. spending in Afghanistan has found the Department of Defense spent $43 million to build a gas station in Afghanistan that should have cost roughly $500,000. 
...But most alarming, according to Sopko, is the DOD's failure to answer questions about the $800 million program and its claim the Task Force's employees no longer work for the DOD.
"I have never in my lifetime seen the Department of Defense or any government agency clam up and claim they don't know anything about a program," said Sopko, a former federal prosecutor appointed by President Obama in 2012 to watch over spending in Afghanistan.
