Actually, it's a violent gang with connections.-----School superintendent in hot water for saying Black Lives Matter is a ‘political’ movement
School superintendent in hot water for saying Black Lives Matter is a ‘political’ movement
"...That is, unless you’re a member of the historically oppressive class.
This is what the superintendent of Indiana’s Hamilton Southeastern School District learned recently. Allen Bourff had sent out a letter to district staff advising them to “treat Black Lives Matter as a political movement.”
“There is disagreement as to whether Black Lives Matter is a social issue or political issue,” Bourff wrote.
“It is clear that many have moved it to the political arena an contend that teachers should be promoting it […] If we can accept for the sake of discussion that [BLM] is a political issue […] as school officials we cannot expose our politics, and we cannot advance a political cause through our work with students.”
...His comments did not go over very well with some in the community.
...And, in keeping with contemporary narrative, the RECN said Bourff was “upholding white supremacy” and is “an example of systemic racism.”
A petition also went up, titled “Black Lives Matter is NOT political,” which demands Bourff’s resignation and that his replacement be “preferably a person of color who can lead our school into the future from a healthier perspective.”...Read all.

Election witness Mellissa Carone launches state House bid to end mail-in voting - mlive.com:
If elected, Carone said she would push to eliminate no-reason absentee voting, a right added to the Michigan Constitution by a voter-backed ballot initiative in 2018. Any action by the legislature to amend the constitution must be placed on the ballot for approval by Michigan’s voters.
Efforts to end universal absentee voting would likely face steep opposition. More voters embraced the option in last year’s elections, in part due to the coronavirus pandemic.
You want to see hate? Here's hate! Where's the media?-----Two busted for dirty-diaper attack on conservative reporter
Two busted for dirty-diaper attack on conservative reporter"Two men were busted for rubbing a dirty diaper on an independent, conservative reporter’s face and attacking her during a Black Lives Matter rally in Madison Square Park last month, according to authorities and police sources.
Tara Anne Szczepanski, 33, was filming the rally around noon Jan. 10 when a group shoved her around, hit her on the head with an egg and knocked her cellphone to the ground with an umbrella, cops and the sources said.
The caught-on-video scuffle continued as Szczepanski ran from the group, cops said.
She was sprayed with silly string and whacked with a skateboard before someone rubbed a used baby diaper on her face, video shows.

'Stop killing us': Attacks on Asian Americans highlight rise in hate incidents amid COVID-19
"It's unclear whether the crimes were racially motivated, but advocates calling for more to be done to address violence against Asian Americans say racist crimes against the community are historically underreported for a variety of reasons.
- A series of violent crimes against Asians and Asian Americans has prompted activists and experts to warn that racist rhetoric about the coronavirus pandemic may be fueling a rise in hate incidents.
- 'Stop killing us': Asian Americans decry spike in violent attacks amid pandemic
...Violence against Asian Americans sharply increased in March as COVID-19 began spreading across the country, and some politicians, including former President Donald Trump, blamed China for the pandemic, said Russell Jeung, who created a tool that tracks hate incidents against Asian American Pacific Islander communities called the Stop AAPI Hate tracker.
..."When President Trump began and insisted on using the term 'China virus,' we saw that hate speech really led to hate violence," said Jeung, chair of the Asian American studies department at San Francisco State University.
"That sort of political rhetoric and that sort of anti-Asian climate has continued to this day."...Read all.

Michigan GOP official seeks help investigating Wayne County voters:
In her Monday email to fellow Republicans, Sheridan said "the epicenter of this election travesty" was TCF Center, where absentee ballots were counted in Detroit.

"(T)o know where all the holes are we still need to understand how the election was rigged last November," Sheridan wrote.
We allow our children to be "taught" by theses wimpified cowards?-----Valparaiso dropping Crusaders name, mascot, logos
Valparaiso dropping Crusaders name, mascot, logos
The decision comes after a decadeslong debate that had intensified recently because groups such as the Ku Klux Klan began using the symbols and words.
"VALPARAISO, Ind. -- Valparaiso University announced Thursday that it is dropping the team name Crusaders, the school mascot and all logos associated with the term that it said has been embraced by hate groups.
...The Crusades were a series of bloody religious wars starting in the 11th century between Christians and Muslims.
..."The negative connotation and violence associated with the Crusader imagery are not reflective of Valpo's mission and values, which promote a welcoming and inclusive community," interim president Colette Irwin-Knott said.
"This is the decision that best reflects our values and community."...Read all.

This was the latest in a series of social media controversies surrounding the actress in which voices on the left demanded that she be canceled for holding unpopular opinions. Last September, when social media demanded Carano add pronouns to her bio to "support trans lives," she jokingly added the words "boop/bop/beep" to her Twitter name.

Dave Ramsey replies to social media outrage over his comments on the stimulus: 'I have upset and melted many snowflakes!' - TheBlaze:
"So I said on Fox News this morning, that I don't believe in the stimulus check because if you get $600 or $1,400 and it changes your life, you didn't have a life, you're already screwed," explained Ramsey.
"And apparently that's news to people. It's like, apparently, I have upset and melted many snowflakes!" he exclaimed.
"I mean, honestly, I thought it was a fairly obvious thing! If $600 changes your life, your life really sucks! You don't have a life, you're screwed!" he added.
SJWs Get Their Scalp: Gina Carano Fired from 'The Mandalorian' - Louder With Crowder
SJWs Get Their Scalp: Gina Carano Fired from 'The Mandalorian' - Louder With Crowder:
I want to be outraged right now, but really I'm just not surprised. Deep down we all knew it was bound to happen. Gina Carano was and still is the cancel culture fighter we need. But you can only have an opposing viewpoint for so long before Hollywood steps in. A handful of permaoffended woke twats got their scalp, and Carano was fired from The Mandalorian. No, not for questioning corona or America's election laws. The fireable offense was, and I quote, "social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities." One is believed to be this tweet:
In case your chosen media has lied to you...forever.-----The Germans almost never referred to themselves as "Nazis," but only NATIONAL SOCIALISTS
Michael Walsh
"OK, everybody, enough with this "Nazi" stuff that the Left likes to throw around.
"OK, everybody, enough with this "Nazi" stuff that the Left likes to throw around.
The historical title is NATIONAL SOCIALIST Germany, not Nazi Germany.
The Germans almost never referred to themselves as "Nazis," but only NATIONAL SOCIALISTS, and the name of the state was always NS-STAAT.
The name of Hitler's party was the NATIONAL SOCIALIST GERMAN WORKERS PARTY.
As I write in LAST STANDS: "The term Nazi—an abbreviation of Nationalsozialisten—was largely a term invented by the party’s opponents, both a cognate to the term Sozi (a shortening of Sozialdemokrat) —and a colloquial play on the Christian name Ignaz, a Bavarianism best translated as “bumpkin.”

The National Socialists rarely referred to themselves as “Nazis.”
The promiscuous use of the word today is ahistorical and inaccurate."
In other words, the communist Left today is merely continuing the linguistic tradition of the communist Left of the 1920s and '30s.

“When people talk about the great black intellectuals today, you hear names like Henry Louis Gates at Harvard or Cornel West … or today you hear Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ibram X. Kendi,” says Jason Riley, a journalist, scholar, and member of The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board.
“But in my view, Tom has written circles around those guys and is much broader in subjects that he’s covered as well as much deeper and his analysis is much more rigorous than those guys’,” Riley says.
A new documentary, “Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World,” tells the story of Sowell’s life and how his logic and intellect have impacted society.
