ReplyDelete"I would love to know your thoughts on the Education Sect. getting booed at an HBCU graduation ceremony today."
ReplyDeleteI guess the take away would be that reaching out to black institutions is a complete waste of time, and counterproductive to achieving anything positive.
I will also say that black America on the whole has chosen the wrong side to hitch their collective wagon to. Events are proceeding apace. When the great reckoning occurs, there will be little sympathy remaining for those who were willing tools of the enemy.
Although at that age I would have given Devos the same response as an adult I think it was kinda rude. I look back at the nobody they had speak at my graduation and wish we had someone a but more high profile. But as Chris Rock said "but I understand".

Like I said, a complete waste of time.
ReplyDeleteThere will be consequences.
Trump firing Comey means Trump must be one of the few people in DC that the FBI doesn't have something on.

ReplyDeleteI read her speech and I see why Devos was booed. Except for a couple of references to the school and its founder, her speech could have been delivered to any middle school graduating class. What a waste of time she was. Maybe she thought she'd come out, speak for 10 minutes and no one would notice her speech was filled with absolutely no substance. Another poor appointment by his imperial tragedy don "The Copper Top" trump.
I bet Devos has a high IQ. Didn't help her here. Just goes to show that unless certain conditions are present IQ is just another number. Especially, if you are out of touch with reality or lack common sense or aren't privileged to be at the white place at the white time.

ReplyDeleteThat great reckoning occurred in 1861, and there was entirely too much sympathy meted out to those who were willing tools of the enemy. Sherman should have finished the job thoroughly. To paraphrase Lincoln, we cannot long exist half Fox and half free.

Like Trump himself, Trumpcare offers remote possibility of success, as compared to the absolute certainty of failure of Obamacare.
ReplyDeleteA possible outcome of this vote, a successful outcome of this vote, is that the marginal voter, the swinging voter, gets reasonable healthcare, or at least healthcare that is less outrageously terrible, and the Democrat voter core (vagrants, drug addicts, whores, single mums, and criminals) loses out – which of course is going to mean a major swing to Trump and Republicans, and a major swing away from Democrats. Hence the widespread abject pants-wetting terror among democrat politicians.
Trumpcare protects people with pre-existing conditions, without however giving them the same insurance you get. Which may in practice mean that people who don’t pay go in through the same door you do, or may not mean that. If it means that people who don’t pay go in through the same door, then that means that people who pay get treated like criminals, vagrants and drug addicts, in short like Democratic party core voters, that being the vast majority of non paying people showing up at hospital. People say that the very old are costing us a bundle, that the very sick are costing us a bundle. No, it is Democratic Party core constituencies that are costing us a bundle.
Not needing to pay for healthcare and having plenty of time on your hands makes a vastly greater difference to how much healthcare you consume than being old and sick does. In short, being a Democratic core constituency is the major variable determining how much healthcare a person is going to consume.
Any system that guarantees that some morbidly obese alcoholic on the street is going to get the same standard of healthcare as an affluent middle class person is going to guarantee that that affluent middle class person is going to get very little healthcare. If Trumpcare is going to provide a reasonable standard of healthcare for the median voter, it has to deny a reasonable standard of healthcare for the modal Democratic party voter. Whether it will do so is far from clear, but it is absolutely certain that Obamacare will not provide a reasonable standard of healthcare for the median voter.
Fuck you in your neck you little maggot.
ReplyDeleteWhite genocide my ass, how many people of color were there by percentage in Sherman's army? It was more of an ignorant traitorous attacking army genocide, and I do wish it had been prosecuted without mercy until the nation was whole again, but it wasn't, and we have to live with that, and its consequences, one of which right now being the party of Jefferson Davis trying to kill tens of thousands of poor people. So I'm not the one calling for mass murder right now, Paul the fuck Ryan is. I only wish we could have put these yahoos down while we had the chance because they are attacking me right this minute. I'm not a hater, but I'm well armed and I will respond if you attack me.
So it looks like obstruction of justice will be on the first article of impeachment for president four-year-old, just like it was for Nixon. We might have to wait until we win the midterms to do it, but the feebies aren't going anywhere just because he doesn't like what they're doing, and right now they're royally pissed at him. If he was smarter, he might have been able to use Comey's wounded position as director to slow the investigation until he figured out how to weasel out of it, sort of like Reagan did with Iran-Contra, but as blisteringly stupid as Reagan was, president four-year-old is even dumber, and probably still doesn't realize that he just stepped on his own dick in golf shoes...

Bangladesh prime minister says Clinton personally pressured her to help foundation donor:
ReplyDeleteWhile secretary of state, Hillary Clinton made a personal call to pressure Bangladesh’s prime minister to aid a donor to her husband’s charitable foundation despite federal ethics laws that require government officials to recuse themselves from matters that could impact their spouse’s business.
The Office of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina confirmed to Circa that Mrs. Clinton called her office in March 2011 to demand that Dr. Muhammed Yunus, a 2006 Nobel Peace prize winner, be restored to his role as chairman of the country’s most famous microcredit bank, Grameen Bank. The bank’s nonprofit Grameen America, which Yunus chairs, has given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Global Initiative. Grameen Research, which is chaired by Yunus, has donated between $25,000 and $50,000, according to the Clinton Foundation website.
.....
The Associated Press reported in August, that at least 85 of 154 “people from private interests who met or had phone conversations with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity” or pledged to donate to one of her international programs.
While Mrs. Clinton was at the State Department she also voted to approve 20 percent sale of U.S. uranium production capacity to the Russian Atomic Energy Agency. The company donated $2.5 million to the Clinton Foundation while the deal was ongoing and before the deal was finalized President Bill Clinton was invited to Moscow and given $500,000 for a speech.
And when it came to Yunus, declassified cables show that Mr. Yunus sought to use Mrs. Clinton’s power as secretary of state to pressure the Bangladesh government.
...
Sajeeb Wazed, the son of Prime Minister Hasina, and a permanent U.S. resident, says that between 2010 and 2012, he was repeatedly pressured to ask his mother to end the investigation into Mr. Yunus, and threatened with an audit or other action if he did not comply.
“At two instances during those conversations they brought up the fact that, ‘look, there could be many actions taken against your country, your mother, your family, who knows, you could get audited by the IRS, since you live in the U.S.,” said Wazed, who has been making the allegations for over five years.

Betsy Devos has spent her entire life vainly trying to appeal to minorities and virtue signaling against whites. She has been a staunch supporter of Affirmative Action and has used her husband's money to enforce political correctness within the Republicans Party.
ReplyDeleteShe believes the only reasons why minorities have low test scores which necessitate racial preferences is because they have bad schools. If we give them charter schools or vouchers, then they will perform just as well as whites and Asians.
Yet because she is a Republican, she gets booed when she makes an effort to reach out by speaking at HBC commencement ceremony.
There is absolutely no use in trying to accommodate blacks. I would hope at some point the Republican Party can finally understand this and move on to solving the problems of people who actually want a better future.
And for the record sweety, those kids were in college to achieve a better future. Now had your dumb ass gone to college you might understand.
Delete"those kids were in college to achieve a better future"
ReplyDeleteNot at a HBC.
Yep, at an HBC. Many doctors, lawyers, engineers, judges, politicians, pilots and even astronauts came from HBC's.
ReplyDeleteVirginia shows a profound lack of understanding of complex issues. She says those kids booed Mrs. Devos because she was a Republican. Uh no sweety, it's much deeper than that and by your comment we can see you have no capacity to understand. I guess in modern America everyone no matter how ill educated is entitled to an opinion. Maybe you should educate yourself before spouting off babe. That might take a while so we don't expect to hear from you anytime soon.

ReplyDeleteShe com
mpletely ignores all the empirical evidence that proves children living in poverty, kids that don't have fairly stable home lives, kids that are forced to go to school hungry and are most likely to be bused away from their neighborhoods do not perform as well as whitey wingnuts with unlimited amounts of funds,food and stability at home.
DeVos has always been against public schools even though only public schools are supposed to get public funding. You can find as many ir more articles of how her Michigan chRTER SCHOOLS PROGRAM HAS FAILED AS ONES THAT SUPPORT IT.
She has zero experience/contacts with public education and should not have been rewarded with such an important position if helping kids learn is the bottom line.
Fact is she is a joke and a bad one at that.
Less than a quarter of American voters surveyed in a new poll released Thursday by Quinnipiac University approve of the legislation passed last week by the House of Representatives to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
ReplyDeleteFifty-six percent of those polled said they disapprove of the legislation, dubbed the American Health Care Act, while just 21 percent said they support it. The support for the legislation represents an improvement over the 17 percent who said they supported the iteration of the bill that failed to pass the House in March.
Overall 66 percent said they disapprove of President Donald Trump’s handling of healthcare, while 32 percent said they approve of it.

ReplyDelete"Don't actually listen to what the other team says, project your own meaning on their words"
okay, whatever gets you through your day.
And BTW, the idea that blacks and Hispanics perform poorly because of poor schools is disproved by the fact the achievement gap remains identical for black and Hispanic students within the same schools as white and Asian students.
Russia's economy is roughly the size of Italy's, relies heavily on energy exports, and their per-capita GDP is in the low $9,000 range. They no longer have the resources to mount the kind of warfare that was the Soviet Union's contribution to world war two, and between the sanctions we've imposed on them and the bottom dropping out of oil prices because our fracking boom flooded the market, they are not in a good way. Enough so that there is a real possibility of another revolution there if Putin can't keep a tight lid on popular discontent. This makes the half-trillion dollar deal with Exxon sort of really important to them, not just for the money involved, but for the access to our drilling technology, which they think they can exploit much farther than we can due to their indifference about the environmental damage it causes.
ReplyDeleteSo they have turned to information warfare, as it is much cheaper, doesn't provoke such expensive responses, and can be used with impunity on their own people.
The Europeans have known this for a while now, and one reason the same tactics used on us in 2016 didn't work on the French election is that when faced with the sort of propaganda/fuckery that is getting called "fake news" here lately, Europeans mostly yawn and say "Oh, the Russians."
Perhaps we will grow that sort of immunity soon, but even if we do, it should not be a reason to fail to hold those who fell for it accountable.

ReplyDelete"every country against every other one. That's the essence of nationalism."
No, the essence of nationalism is every country for itself, with the same rights afforded to every other nation. A respect for the borders, culture, and historic nature of distinct peoples. Pathological nationalism seeks to force its will on other nations. This is what globalism is at essence, as it forces its economic rules and cultural standards on diverse peoples.
Why is the secular left so much more hostile to Christianity than it is to Islam? Why is the demographic transformation of the West so important to people who profess there are no demographic differences among the different nations of the earth?
You'll notice that while Jews in Western countries are always advocating for open borders and diversity for their host countries, they never allow the joys of multi-culturalism and the benefits of immigration into Israel.
Jews invented ethno-nationalism are are the preeminent practitioners of it, yet they have made it a crime in every other country they live in.
Jews hate Putin because he has restored a sense of national identity and optimism in Russia. Under Putin, traditional Christianity has shown a resurgence. He put an end to the economic rape of his country by primarily Jewish oligarchs. Jews hate Trump because he gives white people hope. Through their control of media, they teach you who you should hate.
I don't begrudge Israel their border wall and their commitment to maintaining their national identity. I do resent Jews working to destroy my nation.
Nationalism is not supremacy. At this point, it is survival.
"Nationalism" is a ruse to fleece the pig-people out of their money and votes, perpetrated by obscenely rich parasites who avoid paying their taxes and actually holding up their end of the nation that is the supposed root of nationalism.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, just start chanting USA! USA! in any crowed of pig-people and they will immediately forget whatever they were squealing about five seconds before...

From the Washington Post:
ReplyDelete"One intelligence official who works on Russian espionage matters said they were more determined than ever to pursue such cases. Another said Comey's firing and the subsequent comments from the White House are attacks that won't soon be forgotten. Trump had "essentially declared war on a lot of people at the FBI," one official said. "I think there will be a concerted effort to respond over time in kind.""

ReplyDelete"On a related note, the same poll found Democrats leading Republicans on the generic congressional ballot, 54% to 38%. The Dems' 16-point advantage, the report noted, is "the widest margin ever measured for this question in a Quinnipiac University poll.""

FBI raided a wingnut campaign consulting outfit in Annapolis in what may be the first of many raids as payback for Comey's firing. Let us hope.
ReplyDeleteSo president four-year-old is said to be putting Kris the fuck Kobach in charge of a commission on election integrity.

ReplyDeleteLooks aren't what matters - culture and values are.
And as far as keeping the economy running, maximizing GDP is not the only reason we exist. We do not exist to serve the economy, the economy should be managed to the benefit of the people.
American culture was created by the people who live here. We are importing tens of millions of people from cultures that are incompatible with what we have here. Central Americans have no concept of limited government and the preeminence of individual rights. Sharia cannot coexist with the Constitution.
