The puzzle continues.  About three years ago our cities were empty of indigents’ tents lining the streets and freeway underpasses.  What happened?  Where did all these people and their encampments come from?  If the numbers haven’t increased, then where did all of them live?  And if they have increased, what government policies or private sector factors increased their numbers so that now they dominate the downtowns of major cities across the land.  The only common denominator is the that those urban cesspools are and have been under Democrat administrations.

The Big Question still stands about Bumblebrain's accomplishments.  Can anyone name JUST ONE thing that he's done right since he took office?  That now seems to be a question on more minds as we watch the Virginia governor election returns.

[3nov21 update] Liberal Minds on Display #1 – Unless ‘Critical Race Theory’ is explicitly listed in a school’s curriculum, liberals and their lamestream will deny that any such subject matter is taught in that school.  The same goes for so many other hidden and denied leftwing initiatives and activities, such as ‘socialism’, the existence of which is denied in governance unless every facet of its definition is implemented.  They know that the surest (only?) route to successfully introducing their ideology is through subterfuge.

Liberal Minds on Display #2 – What really makes my heart heavy and continues my eternal lament for our beloved country is that our land is full of Double Dummy Districts populated by voters so desperately ignorant that they keep voting for the same Democrat Tammany Hall look-alikes who continue to screw, blue, and tattoo them.  And they don’t have a clue.

Socialist legislation on parade.  The Dems have to hold the ‘reconciliation bill’ hostage to the concurrent passage with the bi-partisan infrastructure bill because they, as all good socialists, know that voting separately on their outrageously priced ‘human infrastructure’ bamboozle would give it a snow ball’s chance in hell of passing.  Their only hope is that their constituencies continue  intellectually dense as ever, so that no one knows what is the real reason for the hold-up.  And can you believe that in light of that, Team Pelosi and Bumblebrain are comfortable to continue the lie that it is the Republicans who hold up passage of the bill to repair our highways, bridges, internet, etc?

[6nov21 update]  A big hit to Virginia voters, and their kindred spirits across the land voting on rolling back everything from CRT, to vaccine mandates, to defunding police departments.  This is but a glimmer of hope on the sanity of the nation’s electorate pulling back from the progressive/communist policies cliff – nevertheless, all such glimmers enjoy a heartfelt welcome.  When the dust settles, we must remember that such one election does not necessarily assure a nation’s future.

    “Newsflash: There are gifted students. How do they fit into equity? By skin color? Race? Privilege? Or born with more natural talent than the average Joe?”
    They’ve been ignored for many years. An inconvenient truth opposed to the ‘anyone can learn anything given time and a credentialed teacher’ ethos.
    They tend towards being Euro and Asian… meaning privileged. No matter how modest their own origins.

    Talking bout my g-g-generation, the FUE in chief wrote recently, local schools had student attend a number of good colleges, “This includes “top 10” schools such as Stanford, Columbia, and Johns Hopkins, as well as our top-ranked “UCs,” led by Cal Berkeley then UCLA, among others.”
    Funny, I never put JHU on that high a pedestal. Checking the Payscale rankings of colleges I know some locals have atte ded after graduating, JHU is #95. Stanfurd is #5, Harvard is #6, Caltech is #10 and Harvey Mudd is #2.

    “Funny, I never put JHU on that high a pedestal.” Perhaps there’s some sort of halo effect from the medical angle to the place.
    I expect that it was mentioned because (a)he’s heard of it and needed a school to have a list of three (an odd necessity for cadence in written English, go figure) or (b)has some relative or neighbor going there. Mr. Hopkins was, of course, a slave owner, so in all likelihood the place will be renamed.

    RE: The Virginia Gov Race
    “Welcome to the Republican Party of 2021. Our future dystopia is already here. The Republican Party is all aboard when it comes to stoking the anxieties of conservative white suburbanites to maintain control, especially now that Glenn Youngkin rode a wave of fragile feelings to victory in Virginia last week on the boogieman of critical race theory and buoyed by a little book banning, mainly Beloved, Toni Morrison’s novel about the legacies of slavery and its legacy of black pain, which is really a book about feeling since Youngkin’s closing message was an ad featuring a white parent who advocated in banning the book in 2013 because it gave her son, a high school senior, nightmares.”

    What gives me nightmares is watching the news clip. What a way to open the show.

    BT 7:26 – Ooooh, book banning!!
    Yeah – let’s have no book banning at all.
    We’ll have the Charles Murray catalog in the Joy Reid Wing at the local school libraries.
    Right?
    Right?
    These people are really that f’g ignorant.
    I don’t really care about their politics as much as I care about how earth-worm f’g stupid they are.
    They play-act on natl TV about how outraged they are about books being banned when it’s really all about WHAT books are banned.
    Ignorant humans are the most dangerous creatures on earth.

    DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION: DOES IT HELP? [WITH COMMENT BY PAUL]
    “Controversy is raging over Critical Race Theory and other leftist doctrines in the public schools. Liberals say they don’t teach CRT, they just teach Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. But a basic question is: Why? Why has “equity,” as understood by the Left, come to dominate public education?
    Presumably liberals would answer that diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives benefit students of color, especially black students. If that is not the case, then it is hard to see what rationale these ubiquitous initiatives could have. But is it true that an emphasis on diversity benefits students of color?”

    Yup,, worthy of soiling one’s self, and calling the cops.
    5:13 p.m. — A caller near Ridge Road reported seeing a poster in the post office announcing that there would be a public demonstration at 6 p.m. due to “Critical Race Theory.”
