NEVER trust the lib-media!!-----The Truth About Georgetown's Vote for Slavery Reparations | Intellectual Takeout

The Truth About Georgetown's Vote for Slavery Reparations | Intellectual Takeout
"The Georgetown University undergraduate student body recently elected to pay reparations for the sale of 272 slaves by the university in 1838, which it used to settle debts.
...This is not an argument for or against reparations; it’s about statistical purity and the media’s propensity for lackadaisical groupthink progressivism.
The comments fit a narrative.
As CBS News reported:
Georgetown University undergraduates have voted by a large margin in favor of a referendum seeking the establishment of a fund to benefit the descendants of enslaved people sold to pay off the school's debts.
Referendum Methodology...The proper understanding is that 66 percent of the 58 percent (=38%) who voted approved reparations.
...It’s being used by the media to drive a narrative the media wants to hear and they want to talk about.
Honestly, would there be the same media appetite for a vote about a crusading issue of the right?..."

Study Shows Taking Notes by Hand Is Better Than Typing - Southern Living
"Most modern-day college classrooms are a sea of laptops.
The sounds of pens and pencils scurrying across lined paper have long been replaced by the tapping of keyboards.
Sure, typing notes is a lot easier than the old-fashioned method, but scientists can’t help but wonder: what are we sacrificing in exchange for this kind of convenience?
Are students learning like they should be?
Apparently not..."

Mexico: 300,000 Migrants Came Through Country First 3 Months of 2019

Mexico: 300,000 Migrants Came Through Country First 3 Months of 2019:

The Mexican government is reporting that 300,000 migrants from around the globe have traveled through Mexico in the first three months of 2019 to gain entry into the United States at its southern border.
While the majority of the migrants, the Mexican government says, are from Honduras and other countries in Central America, individuals from Cuba, Africa, and southern Asia have also been identified in the migrant caravans.

Self-Harm Versus the Greater Good: Greta Thunberg and Child Activism - Quillette
"When Greta Thunberg was 11 years old, she went two months without eating. 
At least, that is what a recent family memoir asks us to believe.
Her heart rate and blood pressure showed signs of starvation, and she stopped speaking to anyone but her parents and younger sister, Beata.
After years of depression, eating disorders, and anxiety attacks, she was eventually diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, high-functioning autism, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). 
She also suffers from selective mutism, a disorder related to severe anxiety which can render her unable to speak to anyone outside her closest family.
When she wants to tell a climate researcher that she is planning a school strike to save the environment, she speaks through her father.
...This is a family struggling to cope with the harrowing experience of raising severely dysfunctional children, and the passages detailing the parents’ anxiety and desperation can be upsetting to read. 
...Greta was recently named ”Woman of the Year” by a Swedish newspaper.
But she is not a woman, she is a child.
It is time we stopped to ask if we are using her, failing her, and even sacrificing her, for what we perceive to be a greater good."...

Massachusetts judge charged with obstruction after helping illegal immigrant escape ICE - Washington Times

Massachusetts judge charged with obstruction after helping illegal immigrant escape ICE - Washington Times:

Federal prosecutors charged a Massachusetts state judge Thursday with obstruction of justice and perjury, accusing her of helping an illegal immigrant escape deportation authorities last year by letting the man sneak out of her courtroom.
An officer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had been waiting to arrest the migrant, but Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph made the officer leave her courtroom, promising that if the migrant was released from custody it would be through the building lobby.
Instead, the judge released the migrant and had a courtroom deputy take the man out by a back door, releasing him into the community to avoid ICE, according to a 19-page indictment lodged in federal district court in Massachusetts.

Finley: America’s hate crime surge is a hoax

Finley: America’s hate crime surge is a hoax
"It’s been repeated so often it’s taken as fact: 
Hate crimes have soared over the past two years, and the blame rests with President Donald Trump and supporters inspired by his hateful rhetoric.
It’s a compelling story, supported by statistics that show an increase of 17% in the number of hate crimes reported to the FBI during the Trump presidency.
But it isn’t true. 
The surge has little to do with Trump and his red hat brigade. 
This according to Will Reilly, a Kentucky State University associate professor, who extensively researched hate-fueled violence in America for his book Hate Crime Hoax.
“Almost all of that surge is due to the simple fact that in 2017 the number of police departments reporting hate crimes to the FBI increased by 1,000,” says Reilly. 
“The surge narrative is pretty dishonest.”
And destructive..."

Teen girls worried that they are "dumb and boring" if they are straight as rates of trans kids skyrocket | The Bridgehead
"Earlier this week, the Daily Mail published a nauseating and stunning op-ed by a mother who is speaking out about what is going on at schools in the United Kingdom. 
...No longer are the conversations with her 13-year-old daughter Bella (also a pseudonym) about school sports, studies, and social life. 
Now, says Glover, tales from school generally involve “dizzying stories of gender fluidity and sexual politics”:

There’s the on-going saga of Bella’s friend Jessica, who came out last year after she started dating Alexandra in another Year 9 class. Only Alexandra has since decided she’s now transgender and is living as a boy called Alex — who must only be referred to as ‘he’ — despite being a pupil at an all-girls school...

Donald Trump Collusion Charges Fade, Democratic Lies Emerge | National Review:

Their day of reckoning is about to begin. They will gag and balk at the evidence as it emerges that the Clinton campaign and the Obama Justice Department, the FBI, and the intelligence services were up to their eyeballs in an unprecedented unconstitutional attempt to manipulate and then undo the result of a presidential election. They have shown almost superhuman self-discipline in ignoring and implicitly denying the existence of the evidence of this wrongdoing.

Boy Scouts Of America Wants A Suspected Sex Offender Registry For ‘Youth Serving’ Organizations To Share | The Daily Caller:

Anderson insists that failure to release the names of the thousands of accused indicates that The Boy Scouts of America fall short in protecting children. “Through a simple keystroke, they have the ability today to release the names and locations of every offender that sexually abused children. Absent that, any effort, promise, pledge, practice is falling short of protecting kids. This is a time for action and truth, not a time for excuses, promises or policies.”

Jarrett, a junior, tweeted March 29: “The only thing this has taught me is that men are gross and they don’t deserve opinions and I categorically do not want to f*** them.”

When rape matters, and when it doesn't: Column

When rape matters, and when it doesn't: Column:

• In the eyes of the media, all rapes are equal. But some rapes are more equal than others.

"Rape is a terrible crime and deserves the harshest punishment and condemnation. 
Yet, in the public sphere, all rapes are not created equal. 
There are rapes that support the preferred narrative, and there are rapes that do not. 
The former tend to be much more publicized in the press than the latter, as a few recent examples illustrate.

At the top of the list of publicized rapes is Rolling Stone's reported gang rape in a University of Virginia fraternity house on Sept. 28, 2012. 

...The story was quickly picked up nationally. 

...Then, of course, the story fell apart. 

...Meanwhile, two other recent rape cases, despite far more factual foundation, have gotten almost no traction in the national press. 

• In Oregon, a top Obama fund-raiser, Terry Bean, was arrested on child rape charges. Bean, a longtime gay rights activist and bundler, who raised over half a million dollars for President Obama's 2012 campaign, would seem to be a newsworthy figure. An alleged child rapist who has traveled on Air Force One isn't something that happens every day. But the story got almost no national attention.
• Likewise, Donny Ray Williams pled guilty to sexually assaulting two women while serving as a staff director for the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee. In one case, Williams is charged with drugging a woman and raping her while she was unconscious. In a rather generous plea bargain deal, he somehow avoided any jail time. Yet The Washington Post treated this as a local crime story, and it, too, got almost no national attention.

What's the difference? 

A cynic — and I've become pretty cynical lately as I observe these things — might conclude that the U.Va. rape story was hyped because it fit a preferred narrative: Evil white patriarchal privilege and the war on women. (It even fit in with a White House campaign on campus sexual assault that had U.Va. connections, extending directly to "Jackie," the Rolling Stone's victim/subject.)

The Bean and Williams rape cases, on the other hand, merely reflected badly on Democrats..."

Nonprofit Pays Bail For Man Who Attacked His Wife, Hours Later He Murders Her - Blue Lives Matter

Nonprofit Pays Bail For Man Who Attacked His Wife, Hours Later He Murders Her - Blue Lives Matter

byHolly Matkin

Samuel Lee Scott has been charged with murder in the horrific death of his wife, Marcia Johnson.

St. Louis, MO – Just hours after a nonprofit group posted bail for a man accused of assaulting his wife, the suspect went to the woman’s home and brutally murdered her, according to prosecutors.

Samuel Lee Scott, 54, was arrested for domestic abuse on April 5, after he allegedly beat 54-year-old Marcia Johnson, injuring her cheekbone and ear, the Associated Press reported.

Scott also allegedly told Johnson that the “might as well finished what [he] started since [she] was going to contact the police,” the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office wrote in a probable cause statement.

On April 9, the court granted Johnson’s request for an order of protection, and he was notified that he was prohibited from going to her residence or within 300 feet of her, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Later the same day, the St. Louis Bail Project posted Scott’s $5,000 bail.

“The Bail Project is an unprecedented effort to combat mass incarceration at the front end of the system,” according to the group’s website. 
“We pay bail for people in need, reuniting families and restoring the presumption of innocence.”

The Bail Project is comprised of “passionate advocates” known as “Bail Disruptors and Client Advocates…many of whom have experienced the bail system firsthand,” according to the website.

“We believe that paying bail for someone in need is an act of resistance against a system that criminalizes race and poverty and an act of solidarity with local communities and movements for decarceration,” the page read. .."

When Earth Day Predictions Go Predictably Wrong – Reason.com

When Earth Day Predictions Go Predictably Wrong – Reason.com:

• It’s time to stop freaking out about humanity's imminent demise.

"...As Mark Perry of the American Enterprise Institute reminds us in an article about "18 spectacularly wrong predictions made around the time of first Earth Day in 1970," 

• back in 1969, Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich wrote that "Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born." 
• He added that by 1975, "some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions." 
• In 1970, he revised his prediction for the worse to warn us, as Perry writes, that "between 1980 and 1989, some 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would perish in the 'Great Die-Off.'"

..."The world is a closed system in the way that a piano is a closed system. 
The instrument has only 88 notes, but those notes can be played in a nearly infinite variety of ways. 
The same applies to our planet. 
The Earth's atoms may be fixed, but the possible combinations of those atoms are infinite. 
What matters, then, is not the physical limits of our planet, but human freedom to experiment and reimagine the use of resources that we have."

So, cheer up! 
And stop freaking out about predictions of our imminent demise."
