   ‘I Need You To Stop’! Velshi Gets Mad When Historian Debunks Him
   “…..Roberts declared that such opinions are “wildly overstated, frankly” at that 80-85 percent of Britons support the monarchy. A few minutes earlier, Velshi had claimed that the monarchy was represented a country that got rich through “violence, theft, and slavery” and it was this talking point that Roberts then took aim at.
   Roberts wanted to know if the what the monarchy represents is so evil, why do former colonies still admire it, “if we’ve given so much pains people throughout history, why was Charles chosen by every single Commonwealth country, many of which are former imperial countries, as the head of the Commonwealth. We abolished slavery–.”
   A very unhappy Velshi interrupted, “Andrew, hold on a second. Andrew, are you really denying what I just said about British colonialism? Are you really doing that, Andrew? Are you really doing that?”
   As Roberts tried to explain himself, Velshi continued, “Andrew, hold on a second. Andrew, are you really denying what I just said about British colonialism? Are you really doing that, Andrew? Are you really doing that?”
   When Velshi finally let him speak, Roberts explained, “I’m certainly taking issue with your remarks about slavery which we abolished 32 years before you did and we didn’t have to kill 600,000 people in a civil war over it.”
   He also could’ve mentioned the Royal Navy’s West Africa Squadron role in fighting the slave trade. Still, Velshi was unwilling to admit that history may be a little more complicated, “So, you think that that’s fine, that there are people all over the world who were born in colonial countries, because, when I was born the British Empire still existed. And, that’s okay for everybody?”
   Roberts then asked Velshi which country he was born in and after Velshi answered Kenya, Roberts returned to his earlier point that Velshi also ignored, “Right, and yet the Kenyans not only supported the appointment of Prince Charles, now King Charles, as the head of the Commonwealth.”
   To tie a segment about British history back to American politics, Velshi’s politicized vision of history is why things like The 1619 Project don’t belong anywhere near schools.

   ‘Lying Big Mac hole’ gets to meat of the matter. And the Wall.

Yet, ask them if the support building The Wall. Lol.
   Gregory was opposed to the Wall and to be fair to Steve, they are not running around with unbridled joy proclaiming Trump lied.
   It ain’t the Wall, it’s Mickey D’s! Steve is not a grave dancer, so just who are these ones who were so opposed to the Wall and got what they wanted and keep dancing a jig that Trump lied. It ain’t Steve, so that leaves…..Donny Jr!!

   Title IX mess.
   First, this is pretty much my position. No arbitrary discrimination, have a good life, but there are real physical differences between the sexes.
   “Polling suggests the American public supports protecting transgender people from “arbitrary discrimination” while “maintaining female-only spaces in certain sports, changing rooms, and locker rooms” based on “real physical differences between the sexes,” the comment says.”
   ‘Swim team for ‘cluttergender’ students? Biden told Title IX proposal creates ‘absurd’ results’
   Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism joins groups challenging gender-identity rewrite. Rich universities accused of allowing sexual harassment would get better treatment than accused employees and students under Biden proposal, it claims.
   Bottomline:
   “The proposal runs headlong into the First Amendment by potentially deeming refusal to use preferred pronouns sex-based harassment, as well as unconstitutionally preempting “state laws extending free speech rights to students at private schools,” such as California’s so-called Leonard Law.
   School employees would be required to report sex discrimination based on no more than “vague suspicions” under the proposal, rather than any form of probable cause, the comment says.
   Because the threshold is conduct that “may” violate Title IX, a teacher who sees a female “frown and walk away” from a male but doesn’t hear the conversation would have to report it, FAIR says. “To safeguard their jobs, employees will err on the side of over-reporting … Title IX coordinators will be inundated with reports and individuals will be unnecessarily tarnished with the stigma of being the subject of a Title IX report.”

    I was never “against” the wall. I wasn’t for it, either.
    Mexico paying for it was always an honest rhetorical sleight-of-hand… other negotiations with Mexico would balance it out.

    Negotiations with Mexico did do the trick. Trump told The Mexican Presidente, if they won’t work with us he (we) would levy a 5% tariff on all their new manufactured cars coming into America. And if he does not see process within three weeks, he will levy a 25% tariff on imported cars from Mexico. That did the trick. 8-10,000 Mexican troops sent to the southern border to break up the Cartel, and another 10-12 thousand Mexican troops to patrol the northern border. 20,000 Mexican troops must have cost the Mexican government plenty. Plus, apply in Mexico (closest US embassy from the triangle countries and stay in Mexico until be call ya. Worked ok.
    Those days are gone. What no one is talking about is right now Mexico is collapsing. The cartels have more men and arms than the federales and the Fuerzas Armadas de México. Local police are impotent. Out gunned, out manned, and out savagery..er more brutality. Mayors to judges to higher government officials have no match for them. Now, they are everywhere, running everything, from the Sur to el Norte. Even the avocado farms.
    The government of Mexico, the security state and civil control is in free fall as we speak….and no one is talking about it.
    The Wall would have paid for itself in 1-3 years and reaped billions of dollars in cost to our homeland for years to come. My idea was to have desert Sidewinder and other venomous snake hatcheries along the border. Maybe throw a couple hundred thousand water moccasins in the Rio. 🙂

    Hole Foods – It’s always amusing to see you lefties come up with manufactured factiods. I’m sure your hard-hitting expose of taxes paid in Texas vs CA will really make a huge difference in the number of businesses and people leaving CA for Texas and other states. There’s this small matter of the total cost of living and CA is at or near the top of states in the US. And CA is one of the worst offenders when it comes to the Gini coefficient. Which is something you lefties used to care about until you realized lefty politics always makes it worse.

    ‘Roberts Defends SCOTUS After VP Harris, Democrats Attack Court’s Legitimacy’
    “Roberts pointed out that the distinct purpose of the Supreme Court is to interpret the law without regard to political opinions or concerns. “That role doesn’t change simply because people disagree with this opinion or that opinion or with a particular mode of jurisprudence,” he said.”
    (…)
    “Roberts continued, warning about the dangers of allowing politics into the judiciary. “If the court doesn’t retain its legitimate function of interpreting the constitution, I’m not sure who would take up that mantle,” he said, via the Associated Press. “You don’t want the political branches telling you what the law is, and you don’t want public opinion to be the guide of what the appropriate decision is.””

    What does that up to, in terms of climate?
    “If every country achieved its stated ambitious electric-vehicle targets by 2030, the world would save 231 million tons of CO2 emissions. Plugging these savings into the standard United Nations Climate Panel model, that comes to a reduction of 0.0002 degree Fahrenheit by the end of the century.”
    On that basis alone, the left’s mania to make us all drive electric vehicles is insane. But from there on, the story is all negative:

    From the Gatestone Institute today:
    The Chinese company DJI controls nearly 90% of the world market for consumer and commercial grade drones. So what?
    DJI is hiring folks to lobby against passage of a bill called the American Security Drone Act (ASDA), now before Congress, to outlaw federal government use of DJI products entirely. The risk is not only the data gathered by the drones themselves, but everything collected by the mobile app with which users control their drones and manage their DJI accounts. Like many other mobile applications, this includes a user’s contacts, photos, GPS location, and online activities.
    DJI has enlisted police officers from local jurisdictions to come to Washington and lobby congressional staffers about how great DJI drones are for their cash-strapped local forces.
    Much as they are doing with products such as solar panels, the Chinese realize that cornering the market, in an area where reach equals access, is critical to their long-term plans to dominate.
    It was just those sorts of concerns that led the Trump administration to create the “China Initiative” within the Justice Department in 2018. This effort generated plenty of convictions of Chinese nationals in the US for technology theft and other forms of industrial espionage. The Biden administration ended the program this year.
    So – are we paranoid too much? or too little?

    ‘Neo-Marxing the College Board with AP African American Studies’
    “Kelley warns that simply establishing safe spaces and renaming campus buildings does nothing to overthrow capitalism. Authentic black studies, argues Kelley, can be perfected only through revolutionary study and activism outside of the academy. In Kelley’s view, norms of objectivity that dominate the mainstream academy must be rejected in favor of Marx’s call for “a ruthless criticism of everything existing” — followed by fearless struggle against the powers thus exposed.
    This pattern repeats for almost every topic in the final quarter of APAAS, which covers “movements and debates” from about the 1950s up to the present. The topic descriptions sound neutral, but the readings almost uniformly consist of neo-Marxist agitation — pleas for a socialist transformation of America, inspired by African Americans and infused with their cultural style. APAAS’s “debates,” such as they are, explore precisely what sort of leftist radical you should be.
    To Kelley, for example, the writings of Ta-Nehisi Coates are too preoccupied with the personal trauma of racism to serve as inspirations for revolutionary action. And that tiny distance between Coates’s quietist repudiation of America’s core story and Kelley’s activist Marxism describes the location of APAAS on the political spectrum.“

    Harvard explained that Stelter’s role will consist of “conven[ing] a series of discussions about threats to democracy and the range of potential responses from the news media.” In other words, it’ll consist of discussing why Fox News, conservative media, and conservative Americans are a threat to both the country and national security.
    They added that Stelter’s events “will help deepen public and scholarly understanding about the current state of the information ecosystem and its impacts on democratic governance,” which sounds just as painful as John Fetterman trying to offer a complete sentence.

    Another scumbag on the MAGA ticket
    COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — When JD Vance founded “Our Ohio Renewal” a day after the 2016 presidential election, he promoted the charity as a vehicle for helping solve the scourge of opioid addiction that he had lamented in “Hillbilly Elegy,” his bestselling memoir.
    But Vance shuttered the nonprofit last year and its foundation in May, shortly after clinching the state’s Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, according to state records reviewed by The Associated Press. An AP review found that the charity’s most notable accomplishment — sending an addiction specialist to Ohio’s Appalachian region for a yearlong residency — was tainted by ties among the doctor, the institute that employed her and Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin.
    The mothballing of Our Ohio Renewal and its dearth of tangible success raise questions about Vance’s management of the organization. His decision to bring on Dr. Sally Satel is drawing particular scrutiny. She’s an American Enterprise Institute resident scholar whose writings questioning the role of prescription painkillers in the national opioid crisis were published in The New York Times and elsewhere before she began the residency in the fall of 2018.
    Documents and emails obtained by ProPublica for a 2019 investigation found that Satel, a senior fellow at AEI, sometimes cited Purdue-funded studies and doctors in her articles on addiction for major news outlets and occasionally shared drafts of the pieces with Purdue officials in advance, including on occasions in 2004 and 2016.

    Heritage Action Steps Up In Arizona Senate Race After McConnell Pulls $8 Million From Masters
    “The McConnell super PAC is driving more money from the Arizona Senate race, where Masters is down by 4 points in the RealClearPolitics aggregate of polls, to Ohio, where polls show Vance up by more than 2. In August, polling from the most reliable pollster of recent election cycles, the Trafalgar Group, showed Masters down by 4 points with Vance up by 5.”

    Lose PA and Arizona, pick up Georgia and Nevada. Maybe Ohio.
    Dems pull money from Stacy Abrams’s Gov race. She is already flush with cash and more money won’t help her against Gov Brian.

    ‘New Durham bombshell: FBI paid Russian accused of lying as a confidential informant against Trump’
    Prosecutor says Igor Danchenko, the primary source for the discredited Steele dossier, was paid by FBI as confidential human source for three years despite prior concerns he was tied to Russian intelligence services.

    Must not talk about this.
    ‘Capitol Police whistleblower memo lays out Jan. 6 ‘intelligence failures’ on Pelosi watch’
    Three days after the Jan. 6 riot, a Capitol Police intelligence analyst sent a blistering email to supervisors, blowing the whistle on a failure to heed clear intelligence that right-wing rioters planned to storm the Capitol.
    “Hoar’s assessment is directly backed up by hundreds of pages of internal Capitol Police documents obtained by Just the News showing Hoar and other colleagues in the intelligence division receiving detailed warnings from the FBI, Homeland Security Department, the U.S. Marshals Service and D.C. Metropolitan Police that right-wing extremists were plotting to storm the Capitol and attack lawmakers.
    The intelligence was processed and forwarded to department components starting on Dec. 21, 2020 up through Jan. 5, 2021, the day before the riots, the memos obtained by Just the News show.
    In fact, some of the intelligence was repeatedly sent in an effort to get leaders’ attention over the Christmas holidays. “I apologize if this is a double tap with the email,” one of Hoar’s colleagues, Matthew Hurtig wrote, in an email dated Dec. 31, 2020 where he re-forwarded information from the FBI about right-wing extremist threats on social media to “storm” the U.S. Capitol and “hang” politicians.
    Hurtig, who was assigned by Capitol Police to an FBI joint terrorism task force, wrote he was concerned his first effort to forward the information a week earlier didn’t appear to have gone through because he got no response.”
    Despite all of the intelligence coming into Capitol Police, the department’s final instructions to its front line officers made no mention of the potential warnings.
    For instance, the department’s Jan. 5, 2021 final Civil Disturbance Units plan for crowd and riot control contained this inexplicable language about threat assessment: “At this time there are no specific known threats related to the Joint Session of Congress – Electoral College Vote Certification.”

    In another massive narrative fail another nail in the coffin of rancid russian dressing. Someone hand the ponytail of ignorance some smelling salts –
    Durham said his team has interviewed and expects to call at trial the “then-general manager of the Ritz-Carlton Moscow, Bemd Kuhlen, a German citizen who does not speak Russian (and whom the Steele Report describe as ‘Source E,’ a senior — western — member of staff at the hotel.)”
    “Mr. Kuhlen does not recall ever meeting or speaking with [Danchenko] in June 2016 or at any time,” Durham states. “Mr. Kuhlen also has denied (1) having knowledge of the Ritz-Carlton Allegations at any time prior to their being reported in the media, (2) discussing such allegations with, or hearing them from, the defendant.
    “Mr. Kuhlen also has confirmed to the Government and will testify at trial that he was the only ‘western’ member of management at the hotel in June 2016,” Durham added. “In short, the Government intends to prove at trial that the defendant falsely sought to attribute the Ritz-Carlton Allegations to Mr. Kuhlen, and, as referenced above, to Sergei Millian as part of his work on the Steele Reports that are described in the Indictment.”

    The lunch boxes don’t work, as every Bob Dylan fan knows, ’cause the vandals took the handles. Kelly has much more in his deeply reported story here.
    ‘Over 1,300 New York Times employees pledge not to return to office’
    “He added that the 4% hike the company proposed would be reduced for members who received merit-based pay increases over the past two years: “With no salary increase, it amounts to a de facto pay cut.””

    What? No sandwiches inside the lunch boxes?
    My experience, through rather limited, tells me that journalists and school teachers in particular, will drop everything for a free lunch.

    Great job creepy grampa joe on keeping that promise –
    While a plurality of Democrats, 43.6 percent, believe Biden has unified the country during his time in office, that sentiment is not held by most Republicans or independents. An overwhelming majority of Republicans, 92.8 percent, believe Biden has divided the country, and 64.1 percent of independents agree.

    DonB 706pm – And you can add to that citation that when that share of people that Biden has not unified the country, then the debate is over. When it comes to sensing that the country is not unified, it only takes one (side) to tango. It can’t be made to go away even if a majority were to believe that the country was unified.
