Covering the current mess

I have, remember the fall I told about?  Well, it tore up the rotator cuff, which leads to, in a few days, I'll be having surgery on that shoulder.  Which will mean very little if any bloggage for a while, as doing all this one-handed is fun.

I'll be shutting off comments during that time to simplify upkeep on this place.  

For now, isn't this just a wonderful modern Democrat?  "I hate Zionists, but that doesn't mean I  hate Jew- excuse me, Semites, because it's different when WE do it!"
Right.  Texas, you've got a fine example of that here.


Speaking of, Lawdog has a bit of history on telling a people "I don't care if it's your custom, you can't do it anymore.  Or else."  With the 'else' being serious.  And it really needs to be applied to a bunch of people.  I'll borrow one bit:

In these “enlightened” days, it certainly appears that the judicial and legislative political critters seem to think that certain barbaric acts are excusable due to foreign customs.

Huh.

This is the West. We have had the unspoken “Napier Doctrine” from before Sir Charles so eloquently stated it, and it’s time that we reaffirmed it.

If your religious, cultural, national, or ethnic custom is that “women are no more worthy than a lollipop that has been dropped on the ground”, well the custom in the West is that women are precious; and to be treasured and defended. You act according to your customs, and we’ll act according to ours — rape is a felony and you get decades in prison.

Your religious, cultural, national, or ethnic custom may be that women and girls must be modest, and you’re just following your custom by assaulting them “for their own good”? Be it so. Our custom is that fathers, husbands, and other male relatives get to practice corrective phrenology if they catch you being stupid. Let us all act according to custom.

Your religious, cultural, national, or ethnic custom may be that dogs are unclean filth, but our custom is that they are beloved companions. Want to kick at them? Ok, but our custom is to beat the brakes off of you when you do. You follow your customs, and we’ll follow ours. Deal?

Hear, hear.
I'm still wondering if the idiot running NYC will allow Sharia patrols to start, or if he's figured out that just might not go well?


Kim has a piece on another well-educated idiot playing 'cultural appropriation' games, while really only wanting that to run one way.


And, totally unrelated to news, someone had a link to her video.  It's a bit strange, but damn, she's cute and has a nice voice.



And now I have PT to do.

This covers it

It’s actually not that difficult to get your head around if you remember one simple, overriding factor. To the leftists, there is no white culture. It doesn’t matter what country you’re in; your country is the problem, and anything associated with it isn’t part of any diversity measure.

It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a Union Jack, the Welsh flag, or St Georges Flag, these are all British flags and, as such, represent the oppressor culture…that’s been there for millennia.

Here, we’re the oppressors because we came here from afar and set up shop.

There, they’re the oppressors because they aren’t handing over the country to those who have come from afar and set up shop.

The only unifying idea here is that white people are to be shut out.
Think of British cops telling people they're not allowed to wave a British flag while 'protesters' wave Hamas and Palestinian flags.  And that making noise about rape gangs made up primarily of muslims is 'racist' and you can go got jail for it.

Someone over there, ask the cops how they like being janissaries for the conquerors.

Someone, in the last post about the so many Brits selling their souls,

mentioned he was truly surprised that people didn't say to hell with it and go after the rapists.

Two things: for the average Brit, they'll be in prison with no possible legal defense.  So far people haven't been willing to get together and say "If they won't act, we will.  And we'll make a stink the like of which they've never known."

The second is that some have: I've read in the past of Sikhs and some other group who got together, with sticks and occasional swords, and went after them, with a couple of pitched battles.  But they're a Protected Species, and the asshats in charge didn't want the stink, and the "The police and officials would not do anything about defending our children!" sticking to them.

Remember the friggin' BLM riots over there?  When the rioters got to the Sikh temples they found a line of them with staffs and swords, waiting.  And left them the hell alone, and no cops showed up to tell them "Hear, you can't do this!"

But the good, such as the probe, is somewhat balanced out by the racist bastards

who lie and try to hide it.
Hiring and admissions decisions, he wrote in his message last week, are "based on merit," not race, "in a process consistent with state and federal law."

But Dubinett himself directs a center within the medical school, the Clinical and Translational Science Institute, that houses a race-based fellowship experts say is illegal.
...
Nor has it explained how the percentage of Asian matriculants shrunk by almost 50 percent since 2018, with most of the drop occurring after a new dean of admissions, Jennifer Lucero was hired in 2020. That decline coincided with a sharp increase in the number of students who come from "medically under-served" areas or identify as "disadvantaged"—indicators that admissions officials say are being used as proxies for race.
...
While the trends don’t provide proof of discrimination, they are consistent with the accounts of racial gerrymandering from UCLA admissions officers. Lucero has allegedly told officials that the class should reflect the "diversity" of California, where racial preferences have been illegal since 1996, and has attacked those who raise concerns about minority candidates with low test scores. She even made the entire admissions committee sit through a two-hour presentation on Native American history after a Native American applicant was rejected, three sources said.
Etc. ad Bullshit.  Short version: "If you have a problem with less-qualified people being admitted because of their race, you're a racist!"

You're in the hospital. Do you want to have to worry if the doctors

got that title because of DEI?
So when it came time for the admissions committee to consider one such student in November 2021—a black applicant with grades and test scores far below the UCLA average—some members of the committee felt that this particular candidate, based on the available evidence, was not the best fit for the top-tier medical school, according to two people present for the committee's meeting.

Their reservations were not well-received.

When an admissions officer voiced concern about the candidate, the two people said, the dean of admissions, Jennifer Lucero, exploded in anger.

"Did you not know African-American women are dying at a higher rate than everybody else?" Lucero asked the admissions officer, these people said. The candidate's scores shouldn't matter, she continued, because "we need people like this in the medical school."
That's all the quote I need from this mess, go read the rest.  Asshats like Lucero don't seem to give a damn if people die or are crippled because someone who shouldn't be there was allowed to pretend to be a Doctor, as long as they have the right skin-color mix.
Race-based admissions have turned UCLA into a "failed medical school," said one former member of the admissions staff. "We want racial diversity so badly, we're willing to cut corners to get it."
And that means their willing to cut patients lives to get it.

I  hope some patients who've had to deal with these substandard doctors get together and sue the ass off the people responsible.

Oh, this has the Didn't Earn It people in an uproar

Supreme Court Rules 9-0 That Reverse Discrimination Is Good Cause for Lawsuit; Left Frets That This Ruling Will "Complicate" Their Desire to Discriminate Against Straight White Men
"You can't discriminate against someone because they're white, or male, just because you claim you're 'trying to make up for past discrimination'."  Which has all the Usual Suspects crapping themselves.

DEI offices and consultants and other racists hardest hit.

No response as yet, but speaking of Google,

"This is what we want you to see, not what you're looking for."  

This link is to a X post by Matt Walsh on the racial bullshit Google's Gemini is creating.  Short version, white people don't seem to exist, but black vikings, asian and Amerindian founding fathers and so forth it gives  you.(you don't have to have a X account to watch it)

As noted by a number of people, there's no way this is a 'processing error' or something, this is the deliberate design of  Google's setup, and it's political as hell as well as bigoted.

(But they have plenty of time to decide if a blog should be marked 'adult')

The guards who didn't do their jobs need to be fired,

and if it turns out some brass hat ordered them not to stop the bastards, fire him, too. 

And the climate/race assholes need to be in cells.  Should have gone there as soon as the useless guards saw what they were going to do.

Not another bleep-damned word about 'Only public schools with Professional Teachers

can properly educate children!'
A Bay Area Elementary School has spent $250,000 on a 'Woke Kindergarten' program only to see its student's literacy and numeracy rates plunge.

The 'Woke Kindergarten' program states its mission as an 'abolitionist early learning ecosystem' that trains teachers to uproot white supremacy, disrupt racism and oppression which are barriers to learning.

After spending the federal money on the program Glassbrook Elementary in Hayward saw numeracy among its 474 students fall to a new low of just 4 percent and literacy just 12 percent.

And now the 'WHAT?'
The scores, recorded last Spring two years into Woke Kindergarten's three-year contract, represent a 4 percentage decline in each category.
So the school's results were crap to start with, and they took the level lower.

And I'll bet the people in charge of this were well paid to screw these kids over.  And, in case you wondered,
'I am anti-Israel, I am pro-Palestine' Gross posted on the Woke Kindergarten Instagram account on Saturday.

'I believe Israel has no right to exist. I believe the United States has no right to exist' they explained.
So, one more racist, Jew-hating bunch taking over a school and damaging kids.  No surprise, in Gov. Hair Gel's Californicated.

"Teachers and administrators are trained experts, they know best

how to educate your kids!"
Milwaukee Public Schools allegedly issued a memo to staff instructing them to "decenter whiteness" in the classroom. The memo states that "whiteness is everywhere around us." The memo was published by Milwaukee Public Schools in July 2023 with the intention of creating "Best practices addressing discipline disproportionality through a positive educational community."
Translation: "Teach white kids to hate themselves and things will be better!"

Experts.  Top Men.

Crap like this is why I started calling it 'Higher' Education

The College Fix reported on 71 things this year that were declared racist or in need of “anti-racist” action, thus indicating they currently suffer from racism.

Actions
Not wearing a mask

Animals
Robert E. Lee’s horse
Black people
Black cops who killed black man
Cops and robbers display that included a black student as a robber
Black Communist who liked white composers
Etc.

As I've said, people with no real problems in their lives so they have to create some.  Also those who screwed up and, rather than deal with why, cry 'Racism!' as their excuse.

These people are shameless

“Just yesterday in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery,” she said at a convention for the traditionally Black sorority Delta Sigma Theta Inc. “They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it.”

This is a brazen lie. It’s an astonishing lie. It’s an evil lie. It is so untrue — so deliberately and cynically misleading — that, in a sensible political culture, Harris would be obligated to issue an apology. Instead, NBC confirms that she will repeat the lie today during a speech in Jacksonville.

I have been trying to work out how best to illustrate the sheer scale of Harris’s falsehood, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way to achieve it is to list in one place all the relevant parts of the course about which she is complaining. So, below, I have copied and pasted every single reference to slavery, slaves, abolitionism, civil rights, and African Americans that is in the document. For those interested, the full curriculum (along with the curriculum for the teaching of the Holocaust) is here.
There's a specific list of much of what she's lying about.

The desire for hate crimes still far exceeds the supply

Woman tries to rent a bike to get home.  Some black guys screw with her.  She gets very upset.  This becomes 'White woman tries to steal bike from black man', with the Usual Suspects doing their usual racist act.

Slight problem.  It was bullshit, and some of them knew it when they started screaming.  And a bunch of Professional Journalists, having learned nothing, jumped right on 'evil white woman weaponizing her tears to harm black men'.

I hope she sues every one of the lying bastards involved for everything they have.

The desire for racist incidents and hate crimes far exceeds the supply,

which is why bastards like this lie about it.

Wonder how much damage his lies have done to how many lives?

Now throw in this.  How much would you bet that most, if not all, of the 'racist graffiti' was made by black students?  And this:
..after some members of a fraternity hurled a “verbal racial epithet” at an African American Student.
I'd like to know exactly what was said, because calling someone an asshole(sometimes because they acted like one) could be called that by the grievance mongers.

Damn Obama for pushing for as much trouble as possible between races.

This is truly stupid-level racial bullcrap and mask idiocy

One such recent example came from a SUNY New Paltz Professor Jessica Nydia Pabón-Colón who is described on LinkedIn as an “interdisciplinary Latina feminist performance studies scholar.”

Pabón announced on Twitter that she will be enforcing mask mandates in her classroom, even though the school she teaches at no longer requires them, and is even “building mask wearing” into her syllabus:

.@newpaltz professor says she will require masks even though university policy is mask optional. She then accuses students who don’t want to mask of being racist and ableist...
— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) August 10, 2022

She also claims in the (potential) syllabus that “Refusing to mask indoors is a manifestation of ableism and racism, an exercise of individual privilege that tells the most vulnerable that their health does not matter.”
ANYTHING they don't like is racist.  And/or 'white supremacist'.  Just because.

Amazing what they'll come up with to try to control other people, isn't it?

Well, let's see...

Biden working while he has Wuhan is 'white supremacy in action'.

Yes, they are that effing bigoted and stupid.

Yes, they lied about the vaccine.  They're still lying.

They don't think they are out of touch; they think those nasty commoners who don't live in proper places are out of touch with the REALLY important things, and thus deserve to be held in contempt.

'Man falls off vehicle, dies after trying to assault driver'...

I agree: if I go to a restaurant and they tell me I have to pull up the menu on my phone, I'll leave.

Remember the rape gangs in Britain,

referred to as 'grooming gangs', apparently because the truth bothered them?  Oh, more comes out.
The ring-leader of a notorious grooming gang in Rochdale was employed as a welfare rights officer at Oldham Council, a damning report has revealed.

A major report, commissioned by mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham, said police and the local council failed to protect some youngsters from sexual exploitation but concluded there was no official cover-up.
Because nobody gave an actual order, so officers and council who wouldn't do anything for fear of being called 'racist' were not an OFFICIAL cover-up.

Speaking of,
Despite “legitimate concerns” from police and the council in Oldham of the far right capitalising on the issue of grooming by predominantly Pakistani men, the authorities in the town, which suffered race riots in 2001, did not shy away from tackling the issue, the report said.

But the authorities did fail some children, the report concluded.

Well, no shit. Apparently they're still so worried that the 'far right' pointing out a disturbing fact that that's a bigger concern than children being raped.

Despite multiple concerns being raised about him and his arrest for the sexual assault of children, police failed to tell his employers.
I effing guarantee you it was the 'Someone might call us racist!' crap again.

(formerly)Great Britain, indeed.

Bloom County had it right

 

"How dare you not worship at the feet of our idol! No job for you!"

A pattern was starting to emerge: Reporters and editors would omit key details that undermined the BLM narrative. More important than reporting accurately was upholding—nurturing—that storyline.

At some point, the organization went from ignoring key facts to just reporting lies. When Donald Trump declared, in July 2020, that the police kill more white than black people—this is true—Reuters, in its dispatch, repeated the false claim that blacks “are shot at a disproportionate rate.” In December 2020, Reuters reported that black Americans “are more likely to be killed by police,” citing a 2019 National Academy of Sciences study that, our reporters claimed, found that black men were 2.5 times likelier than white men to be killed by police. In fact, the only rigorous study to examine the likelihood of police use of force—Roland Fryer’s—found that police, as mentioned, were less likely to use lethal force against black Americans.
Finally wrote a piece, with lots of data to back it up; it was yanked, he did the "What can I change to put it back up?" deal, got it back up, and the inevetable happened:
Then the comments started rolling in. A handful of BLM supporters, all of them white, said that, as a white person, I had no place criticizing BLM. They called my review of the academic literature “whitesplaining” (failing to note that many of the academics I cited were black). I was publicly derided as a “troll,” “confused,” “laughable,” and “not worth engaging with or even attempting to have an intelligent conversation” with. One colleague said: “I do not believe that there is any point in trying to engage in a blow-by-blow refutation of your argument, and I will not do so. My unwillingness to do so doesn't signal the strength of your argument. If someone says, ‘The KKK did lots of good things for the community—prove me wrong,’ I'm not obligated to do so.”

 Notably absent from the attacks directed at me was even a single substantive challenge to the facts I was citing.
And he winds up being fired.  He's filed, but it being the People's Republic of MA, I have doubts they'll go for him.

Someday there needs to be a reckoning for bullshit like this.  Preferably while it can still be done peacefully.

Well, we know Sajid is an idiot

One follower told him: ‘John, I love ur humor man, but mockingly comparing getting reperations for things that happened 1000 years ago, to things that happened less than a generation ago is a flawed comparison. But u do u.’
Really?  The only place that's had slavery 'less than a generation ago' is countries in Africa, Asia, and the Mideast; it was ended here about 157 years ago, which is a lot more than a generation.  So, Sajid, do fuck off.
