The Left Hates Real Fairness, Wants Equity
The Left Hates Real Fairness, Wants Equity
- Equity to them is another word for revenge.
Instead of pursuing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s ideal of judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, the Biden administration committed to a different path.
- Equity’s worldview, as I see it, starts with the proposition that the white majority is guilty of bigotry and oppression,
- and that all differential outcomes between groups are solely the result of that bigotry and oppression.
- Equity proponents therefore argue that retributive actions against the majority are necessary to correct those wrongs – we’ll get to that later..."

Anyone seeing a connection here?-----Prices Soar as Avian Flu Hits 1-in-10 Egg-Laying Hens Nationwide
(The Center Square) – Egg prices increased dramatically in April, due in part to the avian flu, and industry sources don’t expect prices to fall anytime soon.
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) data shows approximately 24.8 million egg-laying hens were affected by the flu, which typically requires destruction of the birds, since February.
The United Egg Producers says there are 232 million egg-laying hens in the country, meaning the flu has taken out more than 10%..."

- There is enough recoverable crude oil within the continental US to supply current and projected future demand for 400+ years, and that’s just the oil we know about. It doesn’t account for future discoveries. That’s a fact, jack.
- We do not need to import a SINGLE DROP of foreign crude oil. The domestic oil industry can easily meet, and even surpass domestic demand. We’ve done it before, and we can do it again. That’s a fact, jack.
- The domestic oil industry currently cannot satisfy domestic demand due to oil drilling restrictions imposed by the federal government. That’s a fact, jack.
- The price of EVERYTHING revolves around oil, and the law of supply vs demand dictates the price of oil. When oil is plentiful, commodities are cheap. When oil is scarce, commodities are more expensive. Right now, domestic oil is scarce, and the price of everything is high because of these restrictions imposed by the federal government. That’s a fact, jack...Read all.

“special districts,” shadowy local governments that exercise ever-greater control over taxation and spending.
- Special Districts Are Kingdoms of Unaccountable Power
- Disney’s Reedy Creek is only one of 38,000 such entities nationwide—twice the number of U.S. cities.
...According to the U.S. Census, there are more than 38,000 of them across the country—double the number of cities.
Although some types of special districts have value, most are superfluous, obscure and burdensome.

Democratic official threatens school closures, new mandates over COVID-19 booster numbers - TheBlaze
Democratic official threatens school closures, new mandates over COVID-19 booster numbers - TheBlaze:
Elrich's threat predictably drew backlash.
One critic pointed out that booster shots do not prevent case surges. A self-avowed "fellow liberal" urged Elrich to "please stop," suggesting that he should instead focus on issues that actually impact Montgomery County residents, like crime. Another local resident called Elrich an "authoritarian."
"This is very misguided, wrong messaging and application of science all in 1 tweet! Threatening virtual learning for the Least at risk, based on knowing the negative impact it had, because of booster rates, even though having booster doesn’t prevent cases and prevent an 'uptick'!" said WTTG-TV senior vice president Patrick Paolini.

Ann Arbor Police Use Big Overtime Totals To Boost Big Pensions link"Ann Arbor police detective David Monroe...in 2021, his last full year with the department, overtime hours boosted Monroe’s total pay to $184,649.
- They also contributed to Monroe retiring with an annual pension of about $159,160.
...The department’s union contract permits officers to boost their pension payout calculations by adding the overtime they earn during their last five years on the job.
...Ann Arbor police officers who put in overtime on University of Michigan football Saturdays are a familiar sight, and the extra revenue they collect as a result also pays off in higher pension benefits for the rest of their lives..."

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)..."

What it comes down to is this: So long as your data is how Facebook makes money, the company has no vested interest in what happens to it after they’ve gotten their cut.--Posted by

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!
