Pastor Darrell Scott tells us exactly what defunding the police would do to minority communities. It is absolutely crazy that such an argument needs to be made.
Mayor Wheeler has lost all sense of his responsibilities to the city of Portland. Wednesday night Mayor Ted Wheeler, who has allowed mayhem to take over his city, marched with the rioters and stood by while Antifa tried to tear down the gate to the federal courthouse. All the while Wheeler was trying to blame the Feds for the problems he created. Wheeler is the light-haired man with the goggles.
A special message from PragerU.
Are the Democrats starting to lose control of their voting base? Clearly the proletariat do not want to listen to Nancy Pelosi here. Have the ancient and increasingly senile leaders of the Democratic Party become so desperate to retain power that they will have to be dragged screaming and kicking from their sinecures?
Professor William Jacobson, clinical professor at Cornell Law, published a column on Real Clear Politics on Wednesday. In it Professor Jacobson talked about Cancel Culture. I urge everyone to read the entire article at Real Clear Politics.
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.
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 Democrats and their allies in the media and academic circles prove once again that they only believe in science if it advances their agenda. Last week, historian David Blight and history student Griffin Black wrote a Washington Post op-ed headlined “Black people aren’t naturally vulnerable to COVID-19. That’s junk race science.”
Most of us have seen the pictures of the white couple in St. Louis who were defending their property from a mob. Photos and videos of them went viral after a Black Lives Matter (BLM) group broke down the gate to the property and were proceeding en masse to flood onto the grounds.
Alinsky Rule 13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
Does this sound familiar? We are seeing this played out hundreds, no thousands of times across the country. Someone says “All lives matter.” People storm his/her residence. “Protesters” force the employer to get rid of that person. A public official is forced to resign because of some remark that is twisted out of shape. A picture is taken that appears to show something that isn’t there. That person is fired from his job. The mob comes after the person’s spouse or parent or child. Acquaintances shun you or worse yet, label you with some convenient shaming label.
