I rather liked this article:
https://nypost.com/2018/01/08/racist-goons-are-targeting-the-fcc-chief-and-his-family/
To be fair, I don’t think of the goons as being particularly racist. The FCC guy isn’t a member of a preferred ethnicity and thus no actions can be thought of as racist. The best part here is that it shows the Green Libertarians in all their glory. The main point is to push civil disruption and violence right up to the point where the target can do something about it, but no further. The best case scenario is that the subject of the mob pushes back just a smidge in the presence of a cell phone camera.
Triple bonus points for putting a Green Libertarian child or older fishwife in a precarious situation. If something bad happens to them, you’ve got the Nazis right where you want them. It’s not dissimilar to the Palestinian habit of attacking Israelis with rock-throwing children rather than armed military-age men.

Check this out from Trumps spiritual guru
Paula White is chairwoman of Trump’s evangelical advisory committee
“Paula White, a prosperity gospel preacher with close ties to President Donald Trump, is calling on followers to send her donations of up to one month’s salary. Those who don’t pay up could face “consequences” from God as he demands the dough as a “first fruits” offering.
“The reason is God lays claim to all firsts,” White wrote on her website. “So when you keep for yourself something that belongs to God you are desecrating what is to be consecrated to God.”
In this case, the “firsts” are money, which “supernaturally unlocks amazing opportunity, blessing, favor and divine order for your life.”

Social Justice in 2018.
Reading through some lefty journals the past couple of weeks, I came across a most interesting and wonderful backhanded compliment intended to say Republicans have not evolved, shipwrecked in the past, and have not kept up with real social justice. Akin to saying we are living in Mayberry RFD.
A writer quoted an expert saying that Republicans are stuck in Martin Luther King’s “color blind society” of the past and have not advanced as the true Enlightened Ones have. The Republicans believe in judging folks by the content of their character and all that old fashioned out dated ideas.
The contempary up to speed real social justice warriors view real social justice through the lens of the debilitating legacy of white privilege and it’s lasting roadroad to true advancement in every nook and corner.
Well, if Republicans are being critiqued, critized, and accused of seeking a colorblind society, then I can live with that intended barb of disparagement I won’t loose any sleep over my arrested development. In fact, it made me smile. How marvelously Irredeemable.
Told ya they have been throwing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr under the bus on campuses. His dream was too limited in scoop, much too shortsighted. Dr. king is just another person with arrested development, I reckon.

Speaking of social justice, Trump has done wonders. By the current numbers unemployment is getting close to zero.(until the change from U3, back to the old U6… or somewhere inbetween)

“(Frederick) Douglass argued for identifying with America—with the nation founded on “human brotherhood and the self-evident truths of liberty and equality.” He saw that the protection of specific groups or classes would lead government away from protecting individual rights and towards assigning benefits and burdens. “I know of no rights of race,” he said, “superior to the rights of humanity.”

The original article specifies the obvious… the professor has a PhD in Math Education, not Math, and teaches in a college department of Secondary Education. I will give her a hat tip to having a Bachelors in Math from a decent liberal arts college, Haverford. She also taught high school for a time.
http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/web/academics/faculty/faculty_profile.jsp?faculty=441
In other words, she probably does have a profound knowledge of K-12 mathematics and at least can do the math herself, even if she has a warped view of why white boys (and honorary white boys like certain Asian boys and girls) do better in math than certain protected classes of students in the US.

Some are even threatening to shrink their businesses rather than raise wages, a classic sign of uncompetitive behavior that economists call “monopsonistic.”

Fish. Many moons ago when I was first sobering up, I was out of state and saw Betty Ford with her clean cut relaxed Secret Service guy walk into a building. So, having nothing else going on, I followed. It was some convention going on, absolutely free to folks like me. I sat down and this Baptist preacher got and gave his story about his drunken past. Amazing. Became a preacher late in life after turning his life around and looking back on trail of destruction he left in his wake. Very funny guy.
He said “If God was really speaking to Jimmy Swaggart, don’t you think He would have said, “Jimmy, don’t pick up that hoe, there’s a police car in your rear view mirror.” That had the place roaring and probably the first time I had laughed in months. Spoke my language. We are but bronze statues with feet of clay.
