Important read-----What the Campus Crybully Wars Are Really About
What the Campus Crybully Wars Are Really About | Frontpage Mag
The campus wars aren’t really about race.
Race and the rest of the identity politics roster are the engine for transforming an academic environment into an activist environment.
...While black students are the public face of the campaign, behind them are embedded faculty radicals like Melissa Click whose abuses recently led to her firing from the University of Missouri.
Click’s body of work, gender, race and sexuality analyses of popular culture, is fairly typical of the activist faculty behind the power grab.
Media studies is often confused with journalism, but the two have little in common.
Media studies has become a guide to politicizing culture by viewing it through the intersectional lens.
...When we talk about political correctness, it isn’t just about banning certain jokes.
That’s the smallest part of it.
Political correctness is about making the political filter, the left’s lens, mandatory for all.
The campus wars are dividing universities between academic departments and activist departments.
The activist demands call for embedding activism deeper into the structure of universities with more activist deans, departments and professors dedicated to their agenda.
Funding is diverted from education to activism.
Activist curriculums become mandatory to recruit more student activists.
...While race is being used as a Trojan horse for the crybully movement, the practical outcome of such policies would make academic departments subservient to activist departments.
The latter would take over and hollow out the former leaving nothing but worthless degrees and student debt.
Graduates would be qualified to do little except be activists and “allies” in their chosen fields.
Their mission would be to propagate and enforce politically correct doctrines in the classical Soviet political commissar sense.
Safe space culture would silence dissent among faculty and students while creating activist student-faculty organizations empowered to conduct an endless cycle of purges and protests.
College would be free and utterly useless for anything except turning out the next generation of community organizers.
It is not only the ideas themselves that are endangered, but the entire mechanism for exchanging them.
The activist model would not only eliminate intellectual diversity, it would eliminate education.
The campus wars are about political correctness as a way of life.
Inside every crybully wailing about their fragility is a totalitarian screaming to be put in charge of every single professor and student.

Miracle drink!-----A New Study Claims Coffee Could Prevent Premature Death
A New Study Claims Coffee Could Prevent Premature Death:
Go ahead and have that second, third and fourth espresso this afternoon.
A new study suggests drinking more coffee could prevent premature death.
Published in the journal Circulation, the study looked at data from 167,000 women and 40,000 men at different points in their lives, concluding that "higher consumption of total coffee, caffeinated coffee and decaffeinated coffee was associated with lower risk of total mortality."
According to Walter Willett, a researcher from the Harvard School of Public Health and one of the study's authors, people who drink three to five cups of coffee per day had a 15% lower risk of premature mortality, or a potentially preventable death that occurs before the person's expected age.
You don't have to be a caffeine fan to benefit:
The study found decaf coffee worked just fine, and that the results are probably from the phytochemicals and other nutrients found in coffee beans.
"We went beyond total mortality and looked at specific causes of death," Willett told NPR.
"And we found that people who drink moderate amounts of coffee have lower risk of [death] from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurologic disease [such as Parkinson's] and suicide."

Iran conducts new missile tests defying US sanctions
Iran conducts new missile tests defying US sanctions - Yahoo News:
Tehran (AFP) - Iran conducted multiple ballistic missile tests Tuesday in what it said was a display of "deterrent power," defying US sanctions imposed earlier this year aimed at disrupting its missile programme.
State media announced that short-, medium- and long-range precision guided missiles were fired from several sites to show the country's "all-out readiness to confront threats" against its territorial integrity.
...Ballistic missile tests have been seen as a means for Iran's military to demonstrate that the nuclear deal will have no impact on its plans, which is says are for domestic defence only.
..."Our main enemies, the Americans, who mutter about plans, have activated new missile sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran and are seeking to weaken the country’s missile capability," Hajizadeh said.
...Iran has always denied seeking an atomic weapon and argues that its missiles would never be designed to, nor ever carry, the bomb..."

This University of Oregon Study on Feminizing Glaciers Might Make You Root for Trump
This University of Oregon Study on Feminizing Glaciers Might Make You Root for Trump - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"What does gender theory have to do with climate change and the depiction of glaciers in popular culture?
You can decide for yourself by reading what must be the least essential paper ever written:
"Glaciers, Gender, and Science—A feminist glaciology framework for global environmental climate change."
The recently published, utterly incomprehensible paper was co-authored by a team of historians at the University of Oregon, and funded via a grant from the National Science Foundation.
I hope American taxpayers feel like they got their money's worth.
From the abstract:
Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change.
However, the relationships among gender, science, and glaciers – particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge – remain understudied. This paper thus proposes a feminist glaciology framework with four key components:
(1) knowledge producers;
(2) gendered science and knowledge;
(3) systems of scientific domination; and
(4) alternative representations of glaciers.
Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions.
...But the paper is real—very real.
The University of Oregon, in fact, put out a glowing press release touting its existence..."

IAEA: Iran Nuke Deal Limits Public Reporting on Violations
"The head of the international community’s nuclear watchdog organization disclosed Monday that certain agreements reached under the Iran nuclear deal limit inspectors from publicly reporting on potential violations by the Islamic Republic.
Yukiya Amano, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, which is responsible for ensuring Iran complies with the agreement, told reporters that his agency is no longer permitted to release details about Iran’s nuclear program and compliance with the deal.
Amano’s remarks come on the heels of a February IAEA oversight report that omitted many details and figures related to Iran’s nuclear program.
Amano disclosed in response to questions from reporters that the last report was intentionally vague because the nuclear agreement prohibits the IAEA from publishing critical data about Iran’s program that had been disclosed by the agency in the past..."
State Pension Debt Could Be Paid with Taxpayer Dollars
State Pension Debt Could Be Paid with Taxpayer Dollars | NBC 7 San Diego
"California’s pension liabilities are primed to rob the state’s piggy bank.
That’s the alarming claim coming from a new report by the right-leaning Pacific Research Institute (PRI) called California’s Pension Crowd-Out.
And it’s true, says UC Berkeley pension expert, Sarah Anzia.
“There is no doubt in my mind that this system is under serious pressure and that something is going to have to happen down the road to change things,” she said.
“This path we're on is unsustainable.”
...The costs he mentions are pension payouts and healthcare benefits owed to more than a million public workers in California.
Today, we’re about $170 billion short.
That’s equivalent to almost one-and-a-half times the state’s annual budget or $10,000 for every person living in California..."

The irony of today’s liberalism that is accepting of anything and everything is that it is sanctioning discrimination against Christians.”
The marijuana industry has a dirty little secret
The marijuana industry has a dirty little secret | New York Post:
Moving the black market in marijuana into the light has been a boon for state tax coffers, entrepreneurs and cannabis users, but an inconvenient fact went unaddressed in the process: Potentially dangerous chemicals are used to grow it.
That changed last fall, when a Colorado newspaper’s investigation found shelves stocked with products grown using pesticides that hadn’t been approved for cannabis farming, spurring a rush of legal, regulatory and business activity.
...There is even concern that the federal government could intervene out of concern for public health, stalling the spread of cannabis legalization and the growth it has fostered.
...Growers have turned to pesticides — such as myclobutanil, which breaks down into an asphyxiant that can cause various forms of sickness when burned, and the insecticide imidacloprid..."

Navy Expands Body Fat Rules Beyond Obesity
Navy Expands Body Fat Rules Beyond Obesity | The Daily Caller:
So many sailors are getting kicked out of the Navy for failing to pass fitness tests that the service has decided to expand allowable body fat rules to accommodate the obese.
The Navy officially changed body fat regulations in January and is now extending a hand to sailors who have flunked fitness tests three or more times, despite frequent use of diet pills and liposuction, The Associated Press reports.
These obese sailors, whom the Navy refers to as “talented,” will get one final chance to succeed.
A total of 2,400 sailors will have their failure rate marked down to just one failure.
New regulations allow as many as two failed attempts.
...Upward movement in the percentage of allowable body fat shows that the Navy is willing to allow obese sailors, both male and female, to remain in the service, based on ACE’s definition.
...Still, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has refused to refer to the shift as a downgrading in standards, instead preferring to call it an adjustment to reality.
...Other services in the military are having similar conversations about physical standards.
The Army is considering lowering standards, so that it doesn’t lose its crucial cyber-warriors..."

ANN ARBOR, MI — Four dozen peace activists gathered Saturday afternoon in downtown Ann Arbor for a memorial rally honoring the lives of 63 deer recently killed by hired sharpshooters in the city's parks and nature areas.
The mood was somber, and hearts heavy.
"We are doing a public call to peace," said Ann Arbor resident Shunahsii Rose, memorial rally organizer and founder of In Sacred Balance.
"In a universal capacity, we're asking Ann Arbor to return to a path of peace, and this particular day we are offering a memorial to the deer that have been shot as a result of the Ann Arbor deer cull," she said.
"People who are here are from many different spiritual traditions and different communities, and I felt like it was important to have an interfaith acknowledgement of the longing for peace in our city."
Standing in a circle on the Library Lot next to the downtown library, they offered prayers, sang songs and passed a heart-shaped memento featuring an image of a deer as they shared their thoughts and reflected..."

“Whoa — Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler?” Stephanopoulos interjected.
Beck responded by saying that Trump has been “playing to the lowest common denominator and to the anger in us” — but he qualified his claim by suggesting the comparison focuses on who Hitler was in 1929, not the murderous tyrant of the Nazi Germany in the 1940s.
“[Hitler] was a kind of funny, kind of character that said the things that people were thinking,” Beck said of the leader’s early political career. “Where Donald Trump takes it, I have absolutely no idea. But, Donald Trump is a dangerous man with the things he’s been saying.”

IMPORTANT READ!!-----We aren't ready for the lights to go out
Glenn Reynolds: We aren't ready for the lights to go out:
The preppers aren't the only ones worried anymore about a debilitating attack on the U.S. power grid.
Could it be lights out for America?
That’s something that people are starting to worry about, and these worries aren’t coming solely from the usual crowd of survivalists and preppers.
Shut down the computers that run the power plants and distribution systems and you shut down America.
That’s looking more possible, lately.
One of those worrying is former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel, whose new book, Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath, looks at the danger of losing electrical power due to a cyberattack.
The picture Koppel paints isn’t a pretty one:
Cities, unpowered for weeks and months, could become largely uninhabitable.
But, says Koppel, nobody is thinking about this very clearly:
“It would be comforting to report that those agencies charged with responding to disaster are adequately prepared to deal with the consequences of a cyberattack on the grid.
They are not.”
...Well, that’s comforting, though not especially surprising:
If the government flubs its response to natural disasters like Katrina or Sandy, when storms are a regular occurrence, how likely is it to deal well with something that hasn’t happened to the United States before?
Nor is a cyber-attack on the power grid just a fantasy.
In fact, in Ukraine (which I fear is a laboratory for new warfare techniques the way Spain was in the 1930s), it’s already happened.
As Wired magazine recently reported, someone — most likely someone Russian — shut down Ukraine’s power grid with a hack attack that sounds like something out of a thriller movie:
...Somewhere in a region outside the city he knew that thousands of residents had just lost their lights and heaters.”
The hackers didn’t just turn things off — they overwrote firmware on critical devices, making it impossible for operators to control them from control centers.
And, lest Americans think that our system is less vulnerable, the Ukrainian control systems were actually quite secure, separated from the regular Internet and protected by robust security systems. American networks are, in some ways, more vulnerable..."

Mr. Brown is an assistant professor in the Public Health Department at Morgan State University in Baltimore.
This leftist activist teaches that black Americans require reparations, that America is still segregated, and black Americans continue to suffer from the historical trauma of white supremacist America.
His solution to these perceived problems?
Take your white privilege money (which he defines as “unearned” if you are white), and give it to a black person.
Because you’re personally responsible for slavery and need to pay.
Or something..."
"...You’re supposed to find a black person, any black person, and deposit that money directly into their bank account.
Solely because they are black.
Does that sound racist in and of itself?

Muslim Sues Apple Inc. for ‘Failing to Accommodate His Religious Beliefs’
Muslim Sues Apple Inc. for ‘Failing to Accommodate His Religious Beliefs’ | The Muslim Issue:
"...The whole purpose of these fake lawsuits is to defraud, to deceive and to get the upper hand.
Feras Mousilli says Apple failed to accommodate his religious rights.
A former attorney for Apple filed a lawsuit this week alleging that the company violated anti-discrimination laws by failing to accommodate his religious beliefs.
In a complaint filed in state court in San Jose, Feras Mousilli claims the company refused to print Arabic on his business cards, and repeatedly told him he was not a “cultural fit.”
Mousilli, who lives in San Francisco, also states that Apple refused to re-schedule weekly meetings with his supervisor so that he could attend Friday prayers.
Mousilli, who is of Syrian origin, also claims Apple was a hostile environment in which other employees, named only as “John Doe,” repeatedly told “inappropriate jokes about the war in the Middle East, ISIS terrorists, and the war taking place in Syria.”
An Apple spokesperson declined to comment on the lawsuit..."

The Reason Hillary Clinton Thinks She’s the ‘Most Transparent Public Official in Modern Times — as Far as I Know’ | TheBlaze.com:“I think a lot of Americans are really worried that it’s not going to get better, and that’s why I’m running on specifics, on policies, on what I think I can do,” Clinton said.

Student's Knife Alarms Some at Cal State Long Beach
Student's Knife Alarms Some at Cal State Long Beach
"California State University at Long Beach on Thursday said that it has taken seriously an incident in which a faculty member saw a student with a small knife, in class, and asked him to leave and notified authorities.
On social media, the incident was described by some as a threat by the student against a black female student in a class on gender and race issues.
Many on social media have questioned why Cal State didn't alert the campus to danger or take further action against the student.
The university statement does not reference many of the details claimed on social media.
But the university says that the incident remains under investigation by campus and local officials, and that a threat assessment determined no immediate threat."
