Conservatives Need Not Apply

sunbeam July 15, 2020 Comments Off

It is becoming increasingly obvious that our system of “higher” education is closed off to students with conservative viewpoints. Such students are pilloried for their views. They are doxxed and smeared in an attempt to get them removed from the college or university where they are attending. Many of these smear campaigns are outright lies used to enrage the mob so that school administrators will cave to their demands.

The Jesuits were once renowned for their intellectual rigor. Any person who graduated from a Jesuit-run institution was presumptively well educated, morally centered, and capable of reasoning. Marquette University is one such Jesuit institution. Marquette has consistently been highly ranked among American universities.

Gaslighting

AOC (S-NY) obviously takes most Americans for fools. AOC must believe that, because she is a member of the House, that Americans will hang on her every word for insight and nuance. Recently AOC offered the following for the reason for the skyrocketing crime rate in NYC.

On July 5^th, AG Bill Barr did an interview with Marie Bartiromo. In it, Barr began by noting that PDJT was targeted by various entities, both within and outside the government, to remove him from office. This is a stunning admission by the AG. The interaction starts at the 0:42 mark of the video.

The Second Wave

There is a growing crescendo of opinion among the bobbleheads in the MSM that a second wave of the coronavirus is here. There has been a spike in cases in some southern states. This has led to finger-pointing by the media that these governors are putting people’s lives at risk by opening up their economies too quickly. One state, South Carolina, supposedly has seen new cases rise to around 2000 per day (The real count is closer to 700). Other states that have rational leadership in the governor’s mansion have seen similar rises. Is this “surge” real?

It turns out that there has been significant overcounting of the number of individuals with the coronavirus. According to the far-left publication, The Atlantic,

Penn State Punts

News is now surfacing that some NCAA conferences are punting on a full football season. Why this is happening is a topic for another post. While many of us have recognized for some time that higher education in this country has been compromised on the altar of political correctness, the recent lack of intestinal fortitude by Penn State is stunning.

Walk Toward The Fire

Marxists control organizations like Black Lives Matter and Antifa. They have started an insurrection using the trojan horse of racial injustice. The rioting and looting and general mayhem are part of the process to overthrow the current governmental structure of the country with one that is Marxist/communist. Most of this effort is currently focused on the urban centers of America.

Collective Guilt

Reparations for America’s slave holding past is a subject that was a hot topic earlier in the Democratic primaries. Just about everyone was for it. Some (Elizabeth Warren in particular) were even for reparations for all non-whites in the country. Warren’s basis for this was that non-whites must have been discriminated against at some point in America’s past. Therefore, recompense was required.

Warren’s position was a desperate pandering for votes from the extreme left wing of the Democratic party. She needed to be further left than Bernie Sanders if she was to pry loose the young Marxists that had flocked to his campaign.

Biden Vows To Crush Trump Economy

“Make America Pay Again.”

It is not an official campaign slogan for the Biden campaign but it should be. Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, recently told campaign donors that, if elected, he plans to roll back most of PDJT’s tax cuts. Biden said,

“I’m going to get rid of the bulk of Trump’s $2 trillion tax cut. A lot of you may not like that, but I’m going to close loopholes like capital gains and stepped-up basis.”

Racial Injustice

Cesar Conde is the head of the newly formed NBC-Universal News Group. This organization combines NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC and all streaming news operations. Recently, via a video and memo, Conde announced to his employees that he had a goal of transforming the organization so that 50% of the employees would be women and 50% would be “people of color.” It is not clear from the memo exactly what definition of “women” Conde is using this week.

As it turns out, women (under the traditional definition) already constitute about half of the workforce, so the goals outlined by Conde are exclusively aimed at reducing the employment opportunities for Caucasians. What ever happened to the idea that has been extensively promoted by SJW’s that the workforce for large companies should reflect the population they serve?

The First Amendment Prevails

In a clear victory for religious liberty, the Supreme Court twice decided, by a 7-2 margin, that religious liberties still exist in this country. In the first case the Little Sisters of the Poor were vindicated by not having to violate their religious beliefs over the sanctity of life.
