Law school defends its right to remove mural depicting slaves being freed | The College Fix
- Vermont Law School seeks to remove Underground Railroad imagery
"In December, artist Sam Kerson sued the Vermont Law School for threatening to cover a campus mural he painted in 1994 depicting the state’s role in helping freed slaves via the Underground Railroad.
The school has now responded, arguing that although the mural has “beneficent intentions,” some students and faculty members consider it “caricatured and offensive.”...Read all.
"...within a few years there will be little societal memory that a man can not become a woman by magically "identifying"..."
From Facebook:
"The Biden administration believes this.
They will force your grandchildren to believe this, to the point that within a few years there will be little societal memory that a man can not become a woman by magically "identifying".
The propaganda and manipulation will only grow more sinister now that they've perfected election theft."

Coronavirus & School Closures: Biden Policy Ignores Science, Favors Teachers Unions | National Review:
The most recent episode began with the White House challenging the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) itself. Biden’s choice to helm the organization is the widely respected Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who was previously the chief of infectious disease at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Walensky was asked when she believed schools could open, based on her understanding of the scientific evidence to date. Her answer was not to many Democrats’ liking:

NYT Retracts Story First Published on Jan. 8 That Capitol Hill Police Officer Was Killed by a Fire Extinguisher Thrown by Protesters
"Wow, what coincidental timing.
The story claiming that a police officer was murdered by Trump supporters during the Capitol Hill protest on January 6 is, for all practical purposes, retracted by the NYT the day after Pres. Trump is acquitted on the impeachment charge of having instigated those protests — which were declared by Democrats and the media an “insurrection” against the government.
... Here is the way the story today reports on Officer Sicknick’s death:
The circumstances surrounding Mr. Sicknick’s death were not immediately clear, and the Capitol Police said only that he had “passed away due to injuries sustained while on duty.”
But now consider what reporters and editors at the NYT — with 72 hours to get their facts straight — made the editorial judgment to run as factual information on January 9:
“[P]ro-Trump rioters attacked that citadel of democracy, overpowered Mr. Sicknick, 42, and struck him in the head with a fire extinguisher, according to two law enforcement officials. With a bloody gash in his head, Mr. Sicknick was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. He died on Thursday evening.”...Read all.

Black Lives Matter clash with NYPD police during F12 march - TheBlaze:
An anti-police march attended by Black Lives Matter members in New York City descended into violence Friday night. About 100 protesters attended the "F*** 12" march in Midtown Manhattan. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, "F*** 12" and "F12" are anti-police terms that mean "f*** the police," a reference to the police TV shows "Adam-12" or "Barney Miller," which was set at the New York City Police Department's 12th Precinct.

The teaching and learning of math depends upon rules that are biased to no human.
This has nothing to do with math or teaching of anything other than to inculcate the students and infect teachers with illegitimate guilt for being white."

Supermicro Hack: How China Exploited a U.S. Tech Supplier Over Years
The company says it was never told.
- The Long Hack: How China Exploited a U.S. Tech Supplier
For years, U.S. investigators found tampering in products made by Super Micro Computer Inc.
Neither was the public.
- In 2010, the U.S. Department of Defense found thousands of its computer servers sending military network data to China—the result of code hidden in chips that handled the machines’ startup process.
- In 2014, Intel Corp. discovered that an elite Chinese hacking group breached its network through a single server that downloaded malware from a supplier’s update site.
- And in 2015, the Federal Bureau of Investigation warned multiple companies that Chinese operatives had concealed an extra chip loaded with backdoor code in one manufacturer's servers.
They shared one other trait; U.S. spymasters discovered the manipulations but kept them largely secret as they tried to counter each one and learn more about China’s capabilities...Read all. It gets worse!

'Bombshell' report says thousands more coronavirus patients were sent to nursing homes than Cuomo previously admitted - TheBlaze:
A report from the Associated Press documenting thousands more of coronavirus cases being sent to nursing homes under New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is being described as a bombshell for his administration. The report says that new documents show that more than 9,000 recovering patients were sent to nursing homes early in the pandemic.
"This has done lasting damage to the Republic, and they don’t care. They never care."
Instapundit--This has done lasting damage to the Republic, and they don’t care. They never care.
The Democrats have converted impeachment from a measure of “high crimes and misdemeanors” to simply an indicator that the House of Representatives is controlled by the opposition party.
"TRUMP 2, IMPEACHMENT 0.
Once again, people claiming to stand up in favor of institutions and traditions against Donald Trump have actually wrecked those institutions and traditions out of pique.
This has done lasting damage to the Republic, and they don’t care.
They never care.
As I told my twentysomething Con Law students, they have now lived through 75% of America’s presidential impeachments.
Of course, if they were one year old, they would still have lived through 50%.

Joe Biden's School Opening Guideline Leaves More Questions - Louder With Crowder
Joe Biden's School Opening Guideline Leaves More Questions - Louder With Crowder:
We're still debating sending kids back to in-person school. You may be as surprised as I am to find this out. In my corner of America, kids have been back in schools and taught by teachers there since September. There hasn't been much of an issue. However, elsewhere, this hasn't been the case, to the dismay of struggling parents at their wits' end. And the utter indifference of the teachers' unions. Wait, I'm sorry. I forgot to use precision of language. I meant to say the totally unmockable concern of independently elected school boards.

"..."Our country needs to get back to work. I know that you know that. But instead we are here. The majority party promised to unify and deliver more Covid relief. But instead, they did this," said Trump attorney Bruce Castor in closing remarks.
Castor called Trump "the most pro-police, anti-mob president' in US history - suggesting that Democratic lawmakers turned a blind eye to BLM protests. He also said that the attack on the Capitol was in no way an "insurrection."
"Insurrection is a term of art. It’s defined in the law," argued Castor.
"It involves taking over a country, a shadow government, taking the TV stations over and having some plan on what you’re going to do when you finally take power.
Clearly this is not that."

Update (1410ET): After spending much of the morning laying out their case for why the impeachment is a sham, former President Trump's legal team proceeded to play several montages of Democrats doing the exact same thing they've impeached Trump over - namely, calling for violence against Republicans. Interspersed throughout are clips of leftists committing violence against conservatives following the 'incitement.
Watch:
They also played clips of Democrats objecting to election results:
As well as clips of Democrats gunning for a Trump impeachment at all costs:
