[A continuing miss to Fox and other conservative outlets for not bringing up and highlighting daily ‘the border is secure’ lies of the anti-American Biden administration and presidency. No president in our history has purposely or otherwise done so much damage to our republic as has this functional idiot in the White House. gjr]

You can argue that that’s the Progressive platform in a nutshell. Of course, it’s not just mentally-ill teachers, there’s also a demand from some parents. As usual, a lot of public policy is made by the loudest people and those are currently the loudest people.
On TikTok and the like, the typical issue is that everyone has it backwards. It’s like trying to seal water out of your basement from the inside. The gubmint can either rush around and attempt to make the Latest Bad Thing more restricted, or it could work at building privacy into the network and it’s endpoints. You’ll never see a push for privacy since, while it’s bad for the CCP to spy on you, it’s the highest good for the DOJ and Google to spy on you.

Do you know anything about the history of Breitbart fishmouth?
Here’s a start:
Joe Bernstein’s Buzzfeed scoop revealing the inner workings of Breitbart News—including a video showing white nationalist Richard Spencer giving a Nazi salute during Milo Yiannopolous’ karaoke rendition of “America The Beautiful”—solidifies the far-right outlet’s reputation as a platform for the white nationalist “alt-right.”
The article, titled, “Alt-White: How the Breitbart Machine Laundered Racist Hate,” focuses on Breitbart’s former tech editor Yiannopoulos, and concretely demonstrates how the once rising conservative star intentionally smuggled explicitly racist ideology to Breitbart’s substantial base, with the entire operation backed by the billionaire Mercer family.
In April of 2016, the SPLC documented Breitbart’s embrace of extremist ideas and racist tropes such as black-on-white crime and anti-Muslim conspiracy theories. Further analyses showed how under executive chair Stephen Bannon, Breitbart’s comment section became a safe space for anti-Semitic language while its news coverage served as The New York Times for neo-Nazis.”

President Biden doesn’t speak about sensitive matters in front of the Secret Service and told a friend that he thought an agent lied about being bitten on the leg last year by then-first dog Major, according to a new book — despite internal emails indicating the German shepherd bit agents eight days in a row.
“Look, the Secret Service are never up here. It didn’t happen,” Biden reportedly said while pointing out the location of the alleged attack on the second floor of the White House

The Southern Poverty Law Center apologized and agreed Monday to a settlement of $3.375 million to Maajid Nawaz’s Quilliam Foundation after admitting to falsely labeling his advocacy organization as “extremist.”
Nawaz, a former British politician who has railed against Islamic extremism and the false use of the Koran to incite violence around the globe, and Quilliam were incorrectly characterized and listed in the SPLC’s “A Journalist’s Manual: Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists.”

US military academy is so woke that you cannot say terrorists so as not to offend them!!! –
And earlier this year, the U.S. Air Force Academy had cadets participate in a seminar that instructs them against using the word “terrorist” and to avoid gender specific phrases. When we’re training cadets how not to offend terrorists rather than how to destroy them, we need to seriously review our priorities. Not only do these politically correct lessons alienate a large percentage of cadets and potential recruits, but they also take time away from more important training that ensures our success on the battlefield.
When Republicans take control of Congress next year, we must return the military’s focus to its core mission. We should start by firing every last Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer on the Department of Defense’s payroll. All unnecessary and onerous administrative training, especially so-called “extremism” trainings, should be eliminated.
We must also narrow the scope of education at war colleges and service academies to fighting and winning wars – all else can be taught and learned elsewhere. Finally, we should uphold – not erode – training standards for all services.

Yes, me too. No longer trying to find the perfect label, not posting ‘Libs of TikTok’, not even posting fake hate crimes on campus no more. It’s all debauchery at the street level, Marxism at the higher slots.
The need for property, money, and prestige is a human defect and prestige seems to be the most coveted goal. Thus, it would be the harshest punishment to “simply fall out of style.” A fate worse than death. A living hell with life not worth living.
Does one really think that Hillary cared about spending a long weekend in jail? Nay, it’s becoming irrelevant that strikes fear in her heart.

But, the squeaky wheel minority of the minority minority sure finds the grease. The question remains is who trained the campus administrators?

Follow the science eh –
The warnings were delivered in unpublished correspondence weeks before Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management authorized the 12-turbine South Fork plan in November 2021. And they serve to underscore the potential ecological consequences and environmental tradeoff of a coming offshore wind boom along the US East Coast. President Joe Biden wants the US to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by the end of the decade.
The nascent US industry is already facing mounting challenges from supply-chain struggles and surging costs, including interest rates, prompting the developers behind a separate project near Massachusetts to seek a delay in planning for the venture.
Ecological challenges represent another headwind for offshore wind. Although conservationists argue that building more emission-free renewable power is critical to combat climate change and bolster dwindling ocean species threatened by warming oceans, the short-term impacts on marine life can be significant.
Marine scientists have warned that projects along the New England coast could imperil endangered North Atlantic right whales. And in August, the New England Fishery Management Council identified Atlantic waters already leased for offshore wind development as a “habitat area of particular concern,” a designation that encourages the government take a more stringent and cautious approach to permitting.
Concerns about South Fork, the 132-megawatt project being developed by Orsted AS and Eversource Energy, focused on its overlap with Cox Ledge, a major spawning ground for cod and “sensitive ecological area that provides valuable habitat for a number of federally managed fish species,” a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration assistant regional administrator said in an October 2021 letter to Interior Department officials. Based on in-house expertise and peer-reviewed science, the agency said “this project has a high risk of population-level impacts on Southern New England Atlantic cod.”
Still, the oceanic agency faulted the Interior Department for shrugging off other recommendations to protect cod, saying the bureau had based some decisions on flawed assumptions not supported by science. That includes a decision to not block pile driving at the very start of the spawning season in November, even though NOAA said the noise could deter the activity and force some cod to abandon the area.
