Why Violence Is An Inevitable Outcome Of Critical Race Theory
Why Violence Is An Inevitable Outcome Of Critical Race Theory link
- For true believers of critical race theory, America is too steeped in racial oppression to be changed from within. Destruction is the only alternative.
"Our nation has been rocked by at least two significant acts of domestic terrorism in a five-month span.
- Last week, Frank James opened fire in a New York City subway, injuring 23 people.
- In November, Darrell Brooks drove his SUV through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing 6 people and injuring 60 others.
More significantly, both Brooks and James had expressed radical views on social media advocating violence towards whites in the lead-up to their attacks, strongly suggesting
race relations were a key motive for their acts of violence. (Naturally, the mainstream media has neglected to find out if it was indeed their motivation)..."

Facebook Doesn’t Know What It Does With Your Data, Or Where It Goes.
...And the “fundamental” problem, the company admits, is that Facebook has no idea where all of its user data goes, or what it’s doing with it, according to a leaked internal document obtained by Motherboard...

Self-delusion!-----A Mostly Wind- and Solar-Powered U.S. Economy Is a Dangerous Fantasy :: Gatestone Institute
A Mostly Wind- and Solar-Powered U.S. Economy Is a Dangerous Fantasy :: Gatestone Institute link
- When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to "net zero" will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels. They are completely wrong about that.
- The proposed transition to "net zero" via wind and solar power is not only not easy, but is a total fantasy. It likely cannot occur at all without dramatically undermining our economy, lifestyle and security, and it certainly cannot occur at anything remotely approaching reasonable cost. At some point, the ongoing forced transition... will crash and burn.
[I]t doesn't matter whether you build a million wind turbines and solar panels, or a billion, or a trillion. On a calm night, they will still produce nothing, and will require full back-up from some other source. - If you propose a predominantly wind/solar electricity system, where fossil fuel back-up is banned, you must, repeat must, address the question of energy storage...Much here, read all!

Hypocritical Disney makes money in countries that ban homosexuality link
- Disney lied about Florida’s recently enacted Parental Rights in Education law. Disney called HB 1557 “the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill,” even though the measure does not say “gay.” ...Disney and its allies evidently cannot wait that long. Instead, they are desperate to discuss sexuality with kindergartners through third graders — ages 5 through 8.
- While it fights this new law as an alleged cornerstone of homophobia, Disney is delighted to conduct business in lethally homophobic countries. Disney Cruise Lines’ ships sail into Dominica and Antigua, where glamorous onshore activities await. These Caribbean islands punish gay sex with maximum 10- and 15-year prison terms, respectively..."

THE BIG LIE: The Most Obvious Reason the 2020 Election Was Stolen - Democrats Attack, Block and Threaten to Sue All Efforts to Uncover Election Fraud link
"The 2020 Election was the largest election steal in US history.
It was a mess.
But with all the theft, not one single complaint came from one party – the Democrats.
In fact, all the Democrats have done is block and attack anyone who brings up election fraud and then play the victim when they get caught.
...This along with their other actions indicates obvious guilt.
We’ve seen Democrats attack any legitimate efforts to uncover 2020 Election fraud.
