You parents are "barbarically lunatic". And QAnon conspirators!----------NYT columnist slams ‘crazies’ in fight over ‘when to teach sexuality to schoolkids’ as ‘barbarically lunatic’

NYT columnist slams ‘crazies’ in fight over ‘when to teach sexuality to schoolkids’ as ‘barbarically lunatic’ link
"Friday's PBS Newshour linked parents and lawmakers concerned about young children being taught about gender and sexuality in public schools to Qanon "crazies," warning they are "barbarically lunatic" and "dehumanizing" their political opponents, which "can lead to more violence."
Host Amna Nawaz asked New York Times columnist David Brooks and MSNBC host and Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart about a PBS interview with a Michigan Democrat state senator who went viral for a recent speech pushing back at Republicans who had accused her of "grooming" and "sexualizing" children. 
In the interview, the state senator said, "[Republicans are] pulling this language from QAnon conspiracies."
...He then started connecting parents concerned about indoctrination in schools to conspiracy theorists: "I'd say there's two things happening here. 
One is the crazies, Pizzagate, grooming, all that stuff.
That — we can't say it's fringe, but I can at least say it's crazy.
It's lunatic. 
And it's not only lunatic. It's cruelly lunatic, and it's barbarically lunatic."..."

"Pay Me!"

Nolte: Woke Chickens Come Home to Roost at Disney, Netflix Twitter, CNN: 

The devastation done to the Woke Gestapo at Disney, Netflix, Twitter, and CNN is glorious and proof of God’s love for us.

As you know, my mantra since the Woke Terror began has been: Hang in there. This won’t last. I was confident of this for two reasons: 1) Woke is a violation of human nature, and 2) this is still America.

Nicaragua seizes private universities to stifle dissent link

• The seizure of a dozen private institutions and more state control over education are part of Pres. Daniel Ortega's pursuit against those believes conspire against the government.

"Four years after university students led protests against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, his government is minimizing chances of a reoccurrence by seizing a dozen private universities and closing them or shifting control to the state.
A generation of students who participated in the April 2018 protests saw their education interrupted. 

Many were forced into hiding, jailed or exiled when Ortega’s police cracked down. 

Now others who managed to resume their studies worry they won’t be able to finish or have finished but can’t find work because the now state-run schools haven’t given them diplomas...."

What is space? Kamala Harris has answers, gets slammed - TheBlaze: 

Vice President Kamala Harris has gotten herself into a pickle before over her talks on space. Last October, it was outed that a YouTube Kids original video she participated in included child actors, leading to some heavy mockery for days. So you would think the VP would be on her game the next time she was asked to confront the topic of space. You would think. After reportedly receiving a briefing on the work of the U.S. Space Force and U.S. Space Command advancing national security, the Vice President stopped by Vandenberg Space Force Base to speak to members of the U.S. Space Force.

Mark Levin MSNBC Journalist Compares Republicans War Ukraine - TheBlaze: When it comes to hating America, the kings of the left-wing media reside at MSNBC. Need proof? Mark brings the goods as Ali Velshi spews his Marxist propaganda while smearing America and Israel. You have probably noticed that the people who hate America tend to hate Israel. People on the hard left, whether in the media, the Democratic Party, or academia, hate Israel. They won't call it anti-Semitism, but that's what it is. The standards that they apply to Israel, the attacks on Israel, they don't apply to any other free democratic country on the face of theEarth: France, Britain, Spain, or Germany.

How opportunists got rich off COVID pandemic by stealing our money  link
"On Saturday, April 26, 2020, Robert Stewart Jr., a 33-year-old contractor from Virginia, invited an investigative reporter to take a trip on his private jet.

“I’m talking with you against the advice of my attorney,” Stewart laughed, before bringing J. David McSwane aboard a luxury Legacy 450 Flexjet, which 

• he’d rented to deliver six million N95 masks during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stewart had recently landed a $34.5 million contract with the US Department of Veterans Affairs, which operates the nation’s largest network of hospitals, promising to provide them with enough of the medical-grade (and at the time, scarce) masks to meet the overwhelming demand.

• Problem was, there were no masks aboard the plane.

“The only reason I took the plane was because of my parents,” Stewart explained to McSwane. “They’re old and I didn’t want them to get sick, and I wanted them to see this.” Robert Stewart (above) secured a $34.5 million contract to supply the Department of US Veterans Affairs with six million N95 masks. 

• Although he claimed to have secured the masks, they were never delivered.

Stewart said he was a dedicated businessman with the best of intentions, trying to do his part in a global pandemic even though all the odds were against him. It wasn’t his fault that he wasn’t able to deliver as promised, even if he’d already spent some of the money —including, ostensibly, for the private jet.
...McSwane recounts the meeting in his new book, “Pandemic, Inc. Chasing the Capitalists and Thieves Who Got Rich While We Got Sick” (Atria/One Signal Publishers), out now, which illustrates how COVID-19 became a boon to entrepreneurs like Stewart. 

Having access to essential medical supplies, or even just pretending to, became “an unexpected ticket to riches” early in the pandemic, 

McSwane writes, as the federal government “cast money out indiscriminately, like chum into the sea, and just see what bites.”

Developments in bio-tech, particularly around treatments and vaccines, helped pharmaceutical company founders become billionaires during the pandemic.,,"

The Rise of Woke Capitalism - Intellectual Takeout link
"A new creature has appeared on our political landscape—woke capitalism. 

• It is not the usual, perfectly rational, corporate politicking where businesses hire lobbyists or run PR campaigns to help boost their bottom lines. 
• Here clout is mobilized to advance policies that have absolutely nothing to do with either generating profit or enhancing a company’s “good citizen” public imagine. 

Indeed, this political venture may be inimical to shareholder value and prove a political liability. 

Woke capitalism is best understood as ill-informed, economically counter-productive virtue-signaling.
...Particularly odd about this sudden outpouring is how it has overshadowed Biden’s call for increased corporate and business-related taxes. 

Where is Starbucks’ outrage about tax hikes that will reduce company profits and thus executive salaries? 

Surely these hefty tax increases deserve more CEO attention than the number of drop-off boxes for mail-in ballots..."

3 Colleges Get Their Just Deserts

3 Colleges Get Their Just Deserts: 

When the Soviet communists’ hammer-and-sickle flag was lowered at the Kremlin for the last time on Dec. 25, 1991, some said that the last refuge of Marxism was in the academic institutions of the West. 

They were right. That totalitarian ideology has infected American colleges and universities and other institutions that are purveying cancel culture, wokeism, censorship, and gender dogma that rejects reality.

But students, parents, and others are fighting back. And two colleges—Oberlin College and Shawnee State University—recently got exactly what they deserve: large legal judgments against them for defamatory and discriminatory misbehavior.

Earth Day’s failed predictions of 52 years ago & the amazing environmental improvements that have occurred since  link

• Earth day is coming up. It is a good time to remind the public what the (failed) predictions were 52 years ago

– Here are some of the dire predictions from the first Earth Day, compiled by Mark Perry of the American Enterprise Institute:

1. Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”

2. “We are in an environmental crisis that threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation,” wrote Washington University biologist Barry Commoner in the Earth Day issue of the scholarly journal Environment.

3. The day after the first Earth Day, the New York Times editorial page warned, “Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.”

4. “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make,” Paul Ehrlich confidently declared in the April 1970 issue of Mademoiselle. “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.”

Deace: The fight for COVID freedom isn't over. Our gov't is still trying to ruin the lives of US troops. - TheBlaze: 

We can’t be like the leftist zombies who believe that whatever emotion they have amounts to a Gospel all others must share regardless of experience. Our lust for freedom can’t intoxicate us to the point that we no longer recognize or even care about someone else’s slavery. Especially when the chains are for those whose very job is to make sure our freedom is preserved at all costs.

Because as some of us race to book our next maskless flight, there are other Americans currently serving in the military for whom COVID and its various oppressions are far from being a thing of the past. One such airman’s wife recently contacted me to make the point that lives and careers are hanging in the balance as we speak.
