Comment O’ The Day

“The reason there is racism, discrimination, crime and violence in this country is the same as why there is worse in almost every other country and that is that people are inherently fallen. Everyone is born with the selfishness and lack of self control that can lead to evil no matter who they are or where they live.
The great thing about the US is that we have devised a system and a set of ideals that has helped to limit these base impulses while not falling into authoritarianism in order to do so. In the US we have always expected citizens to live up to a high standard and while some did not, most have.
The problems are, by and large, not in the system but in the individual. The destruction of the “mythic bonds” that bind us to that system are responsible for much evil.” CultivatingMan

MorDAC;

You want to understand ‘white rage’? Okay… How about living your whole life watching one particular segment of society make every conceivable wrong decision. Miss every available opportunity afforded them. Do things in their lives that make failure a foregone conclusion…. And yet, after all that – they get to blame me for their problems they created.

And when, after 60 years, I’m a little fed up with it – I’M the problem?

Comment O’ The Day:
Did we dodge a bullet when McConnell kept this moron off the Court, or what?

At the 4:15 mark, Garland says: “When someone tries to promote or impose an ideology through acts of violence, those acts can be the most dangerous crimes we confront as a society.”

Is that not exactly what BLM and Antifa did when they burned, looted, and rioted their way through American cities for most of 2020?
Funny, he fails to mention those groups even once.

“Someone should create a similar checklist but labeled “Self-assessment: How dysfunctional is your life?” Questions could include the number of grades in school completed, the number of arrests/convictions, drug addictions, the last time they read a book, and the presence (or not) of their biological father in their home as a child.”

“To be fair, swing sets ARE a sign of white supremacy 🙄
Their basic design dates back to the structures used to suspend slaves to be whipped in the South.
Something something systemic racism, blah blah whiteness.”

Bingo! The last sentence in the story tells us why they got raided. The couple were members of a seditious group, Alaskans for Constitutional Rights!

 FBI breaks into Homer, Alaska house, looking for Nancy Pelosi’s laptop

A couple in Homer, Alaska reports the FBI raided their home on Wednesday morning looking for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop.

Twelve agents, FBI, Capitol Police, and other apparent police agents, broke down the door to their home and told Marilyn and Paul Hueper to put their hands up. Paul counted seven guns trained on him when he came out of the bedroom. The agents cuffed the couple and held them for hours.

It was a case of mistaken identity, but the FBI now has possession of Marilyn’s HP Probook laptop. The photo above is on the FBI website as a person of interest in the January 6 surge into the U.S. Capitol, during which Pelosi’s laptop was stolen. The photo above is of the woman the FBI is looking for. Marilyn has no real social media presence or photos online.

“They showed me a different view, where it could have been me,” Marilyn said. The photo they showed was a side shot where the hair and coat were only visible. “They purposely withheld the picture where I could have easily seen it was not me.” Eventually they showed her the photo above — at the end of their search — where the person-of-interest’s face was clearly shown.

“I said oh no, that is not me, I would have never worn that sweater,” she said. “She is wearing this hideous sweater that I would never be caught in. She has detached earlobes, and mine are attached. She has arched eyebrows, and I don’t.”

But Marilyn said the agents told her she had been positively ID’d. Marilyn said that Wendy Terry, special agent in Anchorage, went to Matthew Scobel, the federal magistrate judge in Anchorage, and said was 100 percent positive Marilyn was the woman in the Capitol, Marilyn reported to Must Read Alaska.

“At this point, they said it was a trespassing misdemeanor but if we did not cooperate, they said they would charge me with obstructing justice,” she said.

When Marilyn said, “That’s not me,” she said the agent told her “so you want to go there,” as if she was lying and obstructing justice.

“Paul and I laughed during it. They wouldn’t let us be with each other. He was in the other room. They would not let us go to the bathroom or have a glass of water. The agents did not show the search warrant for two hours,” Marilyn said. Finally, a warrant was flashed at her, but it was quickly taken away.

Marilyn said the FBI now has her laptop, phone and she gave them all codes so they could get into her electronics, because she hopes it will hasten the time it takes to get them back.

Marilyn said, “So I guess that answers one question [about Pelosi’s laptop]. It really did get stolen and is still at large. Not conspiracy theory… if they were telling the truth.”

The couple has been active with Alaskans for Constitutional Rights, a group of civil rights activists across Alaska.

TPTB don’t want a literate, intelligent people. They want an indoctrinated one that will do as they’re told. The word that comes to mind is ‘serfs‘.

Comment O’ The Day: Sarah Hoyt-
Up to the first World War, books that were considered high literature and won awards were the ones that had allusions to Greek and Roman myth, or dropped other historical allusions, casually, into the prose. It was a way of saying “I had an excellent education.” These days excellent education in terms of expensive colleges means Marxism Leninism, so of course awards and admiration goes to the “woke” stories that push “social justice.” It’s a way of screaming “I have an excellent education.”

BUT at least the nineteenth and early twentieth century taught people to write so they could be understood.  Now?  Well, I’m old enough to have taught some people who are teachers now and I can tell you, it only goes down from here.

Growing number of English, writing scholars prioritize social justice, reject ‘standard’ academic English.

As critical race theory burgeons within higher education, writing centers have taken the cue, with a growing number trading in traditional grammar, spelling and punctuation corrections for a focus on antiracism.

Examples range from subjectively disavowing writing that “denigrates” others to mission statements that prioritize social justice over teaching students how to write well.

“We … must teach black students about anti-black linguistic racism and white linguistic supremacy,” argues one group of scholars calling for “Black linguistic justice.”

Myriad examples of such efforts can be found on websites from university writing centers and English Departments.

University of Michigan Sweetland’s Center for Writing states in its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement that they “reject rhetoric that denigrates others based on any identity category, such as race, religion, gender expression, sexual orientation, immigration status, national origin, language, ethnicity, sex, ability status, socioeconomic status, age, body type, or political party.”

The University of Michigan English Language and Literature Department confirms that their department is still not “free of [systematic racism’s] damaging habits.” However, their statement of solidarity assures readers they are “approaching a new academic year, to the thoughtful scrutiny and revision of our own entrenched practices, priorities, and assumptions.”

Similar to the Sweetland Center, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Writing Center says in its mission statement they “advocate for writers from historically marginalized or oppressed groups and for writing that counters traditional accounts of ‘standard’ academic English by extending conceptions of audience, purpose, and meaning.”

UNL’s Department of English lists their top core values. The first two on the list are “pursuing social justice” and “affirming diversity.”

“These people want to control what you eat, where you live, where you can go, who you can associate with, what you can say, what you do for a living, what you can read, how you worship, whether you can have kids and how many, how much and what type of medical care you can receive, and what you can own.
They will make these decrees as they jet between their palatial dachas.
But don’t dare call them totalitarian dictators.”
–Herrman

The Republicans really didn’t want Trump in 2016. Jeb Bush was their boy.

The Democrats wanted Hillary to be Obama’s heir….

Only the people wanted Trump. So when it came re-election time, there were powerful forces, on both sides, against him. This is why Trump had massive crowds of supporters. but lukewarm support in Congress and also the GOP. The Democrats connived to get rid of him by any means necessary, the establishment GOP didn’t lift a finger to help Trump either

From a relative

I have no particular Christmas thoughts today.
We are in a such a unique holiday season as a family and community and our country .
We are more separated from each other to a greater degree than we have experienced before. World chaos, insecurity, illness, job loss have also increased our separateness.

But our parents/ grandparents went through very difficult times of separation during war, lack during depressions, unstable times.
I look at old photos and try to imagine how they coped – which they did well – or we wouldn’t have turned out as well as we are!
I wish I had asked my mom how she did it. But she shared enough with me and lived it out daily –
I think this is what she would say..

1. Have faith in God- He is not surprised or unprepared for what you are going through
2. Pray -about what you should do, strength for coming days, patience when you don’t see how or why He is working it out and pray for other people who have a worse situation than you do
3. Enjoy small things
4. Be kind
5. Walk in the rain with your friend
6. Bake
7. Sing, even when you can’t carry a tune
8. Keep busy- there is still something else to do
9. Go watch the sunset and take hundreds of pictures
10. Pray again

Jesus left his throne in heaven to become one of us – to share in our human condition, at a time as chaotic, desperate, and confusing as ours.
He came to be with us – Immanuel
He is beside you in the hospital room, at the table as you try to help your child with math, in the store trying to find enough provision for your family, at your job as you face new challenges
Just pray and ask Him. He is with us.

I AM STRONG, I AM INVINCIBLE. I AM WOMAAAN!!!!
No! NO! NO!! Boys have cooooties!!!!!

They’re actually doing men in fraternities an inadvertent favor, since due process does not exist for males accused of sexual wrongdoing. Especially at Duke, where 88 professors joined The New York Times, Nancy Grace and Dan Abrams in proclaiming the Duke Lacrosse Team members guilty of rape in advance of any trial.

Men should NEVER have any sort of personal or romantic relationships with female coworkers or fellow students. If women don’t like that, they can address their complaints to feminism.

Duke sorority council bans events with male groups.

The Panhellenic Council at Duke University voted to ban chapters of member sororities from hosting “mixers” with all-male organizations, vowing to place chapters that violate the rule on social probation.

The Duke Panhellenic Association “unites women across 10 chapters” of various sororities and is the “largest unified body of undergraduate women at Duke University.”

According to a post on the Duke Panhellenic Association’s Instagram page, the Panhellenic Council voted to ban mixers with all-male organizations to focus on women’s empowerment. The post states that all-male organizations cause concern amongst other groups due to gender dynamics and the objectification of women.

The post defines mixers as “exclusive events between organizations.” Continue reading “”

“OKAY, I’M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS AND I WANT TO CALL IT OUT RIGHT NOW: I don’t want to hear a word about Trump’s tone. I don’t want to hear a word about how he crossed a line.
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR A WORD.
Listen to me: On one side we have the left, who is running a barely alive candidate, and a woman with all the appeal of week-old fish and no accomplishments she can point to.
Add to this they almost didn’t run a campaign, AND went to the point of not having offices in most cities.
For months now, I’ve been looking at this and going “They have a coup planned. The fix is in.” And everyone told me oh, no, I was seeing things.
Tonight we watched states called for Biden before votes were counted, while states that Trump has a solid lead in, stop counting.
And if you need help seeing what’s before your eyes, the left has for weeks now claimed Trump was going to attempt a coup. How many years have you known they accuse you of what they’re doing? What are you? Stupid?
Look, they are tainted by the previous failed coups, tainted by (most if not all of them) accepting money from Xi, and FYI China ALWAYS arranges for extra compromise for security, honeypots being their favorite, tainted even by association with Epstein. A second Trump term means a good chance that they go down hard and don’t get up again.
ALL OF THEM from the left politicians to the so called “tech lords” are fighting for their lives.
They’re cornered rats. There’s nothing they won’t do.
And all we have against them is Trump.
Stop calling Trump names. Put on your big boy or girl pants.
They’re fighting for their lives. And we are too. Because — look at Venezuela — socialism kills.” —Sarah Hoyt

“I once had a friend who grew up in China ask me why so many Americans watch the news. Confused, I asked, “What do you mean?”
She responded, “Well, in China no one watches the news because we all know it’s propaganda. I guess Americans haven’t figured that out yet.”
Among the moments that changed my paradigm on life – this was one of them.” -Jamie McIntyre, senior defense and national security correspondent for the Washington Examiner.

“Ohhhh. Now I see. They ask the same question, over and over again, hoping to catch him misspeak out of frustration, then edit the interview with selected clips, that present him in the worst possible manner, to further damage his chances of being re-elected; To affect the outcome of the election.”==Robal
