Berkeley Weeded Out Job Applicants Who Didn’t Propose Specific Plans To Advance Diversity – Reason.com:

• The university's litmus test is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

"The University of California has been requiring prospective faculty members to affirm that they support diversity. 
This was Orwellian in its own right—reminiscent of the university system's 1950s loyalty oaths, which required faculty to attest that they were not members of the Communist Party.
It now appears that at one campus, UC-Berkeley, the diversity initiative goes much further than previously understood.
Whether a candidate has proposed a specific, concrete plan to advance diversity is now being used as a litmus test for some positions.
No candidate who fails the test can even be considered for employment..."

"The left is on Trump for his tweet congratulating the Chiefs and referencing the "Great State of Kansas" (the Chiefs are actually on the Missouri side of the line) - saying that this is proof Trump is just stupid and incompetent.

Probably time to take a look at the greatest hits of the smartest president ever - Barack H. Obama."

Boris Johnson’s government is considering new measures to contain terror convicts after an Islamist freed from prison early stabbed civilians in Streatham, London.

New York’s Progressive Rent Regulations Having the Exact Same Negative Consequence That Skeptics Predicted.

"According to a January survey conducted by the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP)—a trade association representing owners of rent-stabilized buildings in New York City—69 percent of building owners have cut their spending on apartment upgrades by more than 75 percent since the passage of the state’s rent regulations. Another 11 percent of the landlords in the survey decreased investments in their properties by more than 50 percent.

The new law’s limits on recouping the costs of renovating apartments mean it is often more financially feasible to leave old apartments vacant...Read all. 

Easy prediction: Big, connected players will snap up these properties at a steep discount, at which point the city will grant relief and exemptions from the new regulations.---Posted by Stephen Green"

Franklin Graham: ‘Pepsi Showing Young Girls that Sexual Exploitation of Women Is Okay’:

Christian evangelist Rev. Franklin Graham expressed disappointment with the lack of “moral decency” displayed at the Super Bowl LIV halftime show and the message it purportedly sent to children, writing Pepsi showed “young girls that sexual exploitation of women is okay” and urging society to raise its standards.
The Super Bowl LIV entertainment featured pop megastars Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, both of whom busted out in a series of crotch-grabbing, hip-thrusting moves throughout the performance.

Rep. Mike Gallagher Files Bill Giving Immigration Judges Contempt Authority. It’s About Time.

Rep. Mike Gallagher Files Bill Giving Immigration Judges Contempt Authority. It’s About Time.
"Ronald Reagan once quipped, “They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong.”
That’s a lesson Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., proved on Jan. 29 with his simple, but much needed, bill to improve our overburdened immigration courts.
His bill, barely more than a page long, would fix a long-standing weakness of the immigration courts by giving immigration judges the power to hold lawyers and litigants in contempt if they disobey court orders or ignore deadlines.

• This would give immigration judges a power that every other state and federal trial court judge in the country has. 
• It also would address a big reason the immigration courts are crushed under enormous and seemingly irreducible caseloads.

Since the beginning of the year, 66,000 cases have been added to the backlog, which now sits at nearly 1.1 million cases..."

[WATCH] Massive Brexit Celebration Destroys Years-Long Media Gaslighting

[WATCH] Massive Brexit Celebration Destroys Years-Long Media Gaslighting-- 

BY MEGAN FOX FEBRUARY 1, 2020

Screenshot via Twitter video

"For years after the people of Britain voted to exit their alliance with the European Union and reclaim their sovereignty as a nation the media has been selling us the narrative that a vast majority of the population regretted it almost immediately. 

They told these stories over and over while pro-EU politicians and their minions in the press scrambled for any way to remain and ignore the will of the people. 

Here's a sampling of those reports from a Google search.

• Why many British voters are having Brexit regrets PBS 2017
• Is Britain swept by Brexit regret? Eurnonews 2018
• YouGov poll: Brexit regret is at its highest ever, Business Insider 2019
• Poll: A majority of British regret voting for Brexit, Business Insider 2018
• Does Britain regret Brexit? Crisis and Confusion, NZ Herald 2018

You get the point....

...Here's the real reaction by actual British people (and not the ones "polled" no one ever seems to know) to Britain finally leaving the EU. 

I particularly love Big Ben chiming in the background. 

It sounds like freedom...

AcquittalFo’Shizzle.357@ASimplePatriot

Brexit celebration!

Once again, the media has been caught gaslighting you and they've been doing it on this subject (and lots of others) for years. Check out the following screengrabs of this shell game.

 

...If this disconnect between the actual public reaction of tens of thousands of people celebrating in the street and the fake public reaction the media tries to sell doesn't convince you that fake news is one of the greatest threats to freedom that we face, nothing will. 
They're straight-up lying to you. 
Major media has become nothing but shameless collaborators with big government, globalist, leftists.

The Oslo blood libel is over - www.israelhayom.com

• When you read the Trump plan closely, you realize it is a mirror image of the Oslo Accords. 
• Rather than Israel being required to prove its good will, the Palestinians are required to prove their commitment to peace.

"From 1994 through 1996, as a captain in the IDF, I served as a member of Israel's negotiating team with the PLO.
Those years were the heyday of the so-called peace process.
As the coordinator of negotiations on civil affairs for the Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, I participated in all of the negotiating sessions with the Palestinians that led to a half a dozen or so of agreements...
Throughout the period of my work, I never found any reason to believe the peace process I was a part of would lead to peace.
The same Palestinian leaders who joked with us in fancy meeting rooms in Cairo and Taba breached every commitment they made to Israel the minute the sessions ended..."

Joni Ernst: Obama's Actions More Impeachable Than What Trump Did:

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) argued Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Barack Obama’s open mic moment in 2012, when Obama told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev “after my election I have more flexibility,” was more impeachable than President Donald Trump’s actions in Ukraine.
