Kalamazoo College to Pay Its Students Up to $1500 to Protest Social Justice

"If you're a leftist attending Kalamazoo College, you're in luck! The school is now granting students anywhere from $50 to $1,500 for social justice warriors to attend protests, trainings, conferences, and rallies.

The school is calling it its “Social Justice Leadership Fund” in an attempt to “provide opportunities to learn about a variety of social justice and human rights issues, develop new skills in organizing and leadership, and take action on the issues that prospective applicants care most about.”

SCOTT ADAMS: The Magical Thinking Opposition. 
“My hypothesis is that the political side that is out of power is the one that hallucinates the most – and needs to – in order to keep their worldview intact.”

This reminds me of Jane’s Law: “The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.”
Truer today than it was in 2004. But when Dems are hallucinating, their craziness is amplified by the media."

Black, Hispanic students attend exclusive early orientations:
"Grand Valley State University recently completed its inaugural “Black Excellence Orientation” reserved exclusively for “first-year African American students,” along with a separate program for Hispanic students.
Both programs took place in advance of GVSU's normal freshman orientation program, and participants were allowed to move in to on-campus housing three days early in order to attend.

Obesity epidemic at new high, costs $150B a year, hurts military recruiting

Obesity epidemic at new high, costs $150B a year, hurts military recruiting:
"Americans continue to get fatter and it's delivering a huge blow to the country, both in higher health care costs and undercutting military recruiting, according to a huge new study.

The 14th annual State of Obesity: Better Policies for a Healthier America report from the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation bluntly reported that 70 percent of the nation is obese or overweight.

...More stunning, said the comprehensive 101-page report: " 70 percent of today's youth are not fit to serve in the military due to obesity or being overweight, criminal records, drug misuse or educational deficits."...

James Comey, Hillary’s Real Campaign Manager     | Frontpage Mag:

"As Americans are now painfully aware, the congenitally devious Clintons had created a hacker-friendly, slap-dash private email system while she headed the U.S. Department of State to frustrate Freedom of Information Act requesters, shield Hillary's correspondence from congressional oversight, and steer money to the international cash-for-future-presidential-favors clearinghouse known as the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. The “homebrew” email servers Mrs. Clinton used are at the heart of the scandal over her mishandling of an Islamic terrorist attack in militant-infested Benghazi, Libya on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 that left four Americans, including U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens, dead."

As Its Influence Wanes, Increasingly Militant MSM Promotes Violence and Censorship - Breitbart:

"As a 25 year media-watcher, I have never seen anything close to the propaganda campaign the national media launched to defeat Donald Trump last year. It was 24/7, it was coordinated across every news outlet, it was all-hands-on-deck. And Trump still won. Which can only mean that the media’s influence has eroded to a point where, despite hurling every kitchen sink available, they suffered a humiliating loss last November.

Before I get into the grit of the nit, it is important to keep in mind that our media is nothing more than the communication branch of the Democrat Party. "

Slowing down ping pong for TV-Improbable Research » Blog Archive

"Slowing down ping pong for TV (study)

“The medial [sic] appeal of table tennis seems to go down in terms of TV hours, at least outside Asia. One of the reasons is the fact that the speed of the game is nowadays so high that it is very hard for spectators to follow the balls.”

So, in terms of slowing down the game (in order to increase its appeal for TV viewers) what might be done?
In 2013, a team from the Institute of Physics, and the Institute of Community Medicine at Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University, Greifswald, along with the Faculty of Informatics and Electrical Engineering, University Rostock, Germany, decided to use a computational modeling approach to provide answers...

The results revealed not one, but two possible methodologies which could be practical solutions – if adopted by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

“A larger ball of 44 mm with small weight is one option for suppressing high velocities, resulting also in a reduction of the influence of spinning. As an alternative option an increase of the net height is possible.”...

"Two law professors have been accused of racism and homophobia over an op-ed lamenting the “breakdown of bourgeois culture” and arguing that “all cultures are not equal.”
At the University of Pennsylvania, home to one of the professors, students have produced two open letters condemning the op-ed, calling it "steeped in anti-blackness and white hetero-patriarchal respectability."

Report: Google 'Coming After Critics' in Academia and Journalism, 'Forming Into a Government of Itself' - Breitbart:

"“Google is forming into a government of itself, and it seems incapable of even seeing its own overreach. We, as citizens, must respond in two ways,” proclaimed Teachout. “First, support the brave researchers and journalists who stand up to overreaching power; and second, support traditional antimonopoly laws that will allow us to have great, innovative companies — but not allow them to govern us.”"

Flint Councilman Pawns Government Laptop | WKAR

Flint Councilman Pawns Government Laptop | WKAR:
"A Michigan city council member accused of pawning his publicly owned laptop has pleaded no contest to willful neglect of duty.
The misdemeanor charge against Flint Councilman Eric Mays was announced Wednesday. Genesee County prosecutor David Leyton says "it's time for this matter to be put behind us."
The Flint Journal quotes police as saying Mays pawned his laptop computer for a $100 loan on nine occasions. 
He last got the laptop back in May by paying $116 at Music Man Pawnshop.
Mays has told the newspaper that the laptop was safer at the pawn shop than at Flint's City Hall.
He will be sentenced on Nov. 27."

Muslims Tell Europe: "One Day All This Will Be Ours"

Muslims Tell Europe: "One Day All This Will Be Ours"

• The Archbishop of Strasbourg Luc Ravel, nominated by Pope Francis in February, just declared that "Muslim believers know very well that their fertility is such today, that they call it... the Great Replacement. They tell you in a very calm, very positive way: One day all this, all this will be ours...".
• Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán just warned against a "Muslimized Europe". According to him, "the question of the upcoming decades is whether Europe will continue to belong to Europeans".
• "In the coming 30 years, the number of Africans will grow by more than one billion people. That is twice the population of the entire European Union... The demographic pressure will be enormous. Last year, more than 180,000 people crossed in shabby boats from Libya. And this is just the beginning. According to EU Commissioner Avramopoulos, at this very moment, 3 million migrants are waiting to enter Europe". — Geert Wilders, MP, The Netherlands, and leader of the Party for Freedom and Democracy (PVV).

This week, yet another Islamic terrorist attack targeted the Spanish city of Barcelona. 
As it was for many years under Muslim rule, it is, therefore, like Israel, land which many Islamists believe they are entitled to repossess.
At the same time, far from Spain, elementary schools have been closing, shuttered by the state after the number of children dropped to less than 10% of the population. 
The government is converting these structures into hospices, providing care for the elderly in a country where 40% of the people are 65 or older. 
That is not a science-fiction novel. 
That is Japan, the world's oldest and most sterile nation, where there is a popular expression: "ghost civilization".

Tax reform -- America needs a tax code that's good for the country, not good for Washington | Fox News

Tax reform -- America needs a tax code that's good for the country, not good for Washington | Fox News:

"President Trump has challenged Congress to reduce the burden on the American worker and to build an economy that rewards honest work. Congress should accept that challenge and craft a bipartisan plan that makes real reductions in what government demands from our wallets. No more excuses. It’s time to lead."

Blame public schools for those crazed lefties

Blame public schools for those crazed lefties
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. 
And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. 
History has stopped. 
Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” – George Orwell, “1984″
Progressive socialist leftists want to erase all history relating to the Civil War and the Confederacy.
They absolutely do not want America to know it was Southern Democrats who supported slavery and were behind Jim Crow, the Ku Klux Klan, literacy tests and poll taxes.
They do not want America to know they opposed the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.
And they are getting plenty of help from liberal university presidents and faculty, city government and public boards of education.
...Dallas Independent School board president Dan Micciche wrote that the board will address renaming schools:
“I don’t have an answer for a young African-American student who asks, ‘Why is this school named after someone who fought to keep my ancestors enslaved?’
I don’t have an answer for that.”
Since public schools across the nation, including those in the Dallas ISD, have revised history so few really know the truth about the Civil War, this is not a surprising answer.
Check out any public-school textbooks for lessons on the Civil War..."

Arnold Ahlert: Rediscovering Courage — The Patriot Post

“When cowardice is made respectable, its followers are without number both from among the weak and the strong; it easily becomes a fashion.” —Eric Hoffer
Today, there is little doubt that cowardice — more often than not couched as a “reasonable” response to the demands of hateful, hysterical leftists — is not only respectable but very much in fashion. 

In Memphis, the Orpheum Theater announced it will end a 34-year-old tradition of “Gone With the Wind” summertime screenings due to “specific inquiries from patrons.” 

...a large majority of the theater’s board members are white, and all of them apparently miss the searing irony: 

Their insufferably paternalistic presumption that they know what’s best for black Americans resembles that of antebellum slave masters. 

Moreover their exhortations of inclusivity and welcomeness are nothing more than fashionable cowardice..."

Discarded Banana Peel Causes Racial Hysteria at Ole Miss - Todd Starnes

Discarded Banana Peel Causes Racial Hysteria at Ole Miss - Todd Starnes

• "There is a raging controversy within the University of Mississippi’s Greek Life community regarding race relations and bananas.
• A Greek Life leader accidentally sparked mass hysteria after he placed a banana peel on a tree in the woods -- because he could not find a trash can.

The Daily Mississippian reports that three black students found the banana peel -- and were apparently triggered by what they saw.

"To be clear, many members of our community were hurt, frightened, and upset," the interim director of fraternity and sorority life wrote in a letter obtained by the newspaper.
The president of one sorority told the newspaper that "bananas have historically been used to demean black people."
..."The massive discussion session wrapped up as more and more students stood and left the room - some in tears, some in frustration.
NPHC members began texting friends to come and pick them up from the camp since no one had been allowed to drive his or her car up to the retreat.
The remainder of the retreat was canceled later that night," the newspaper reported..."
