He's still in stage one of denial, where he can't believe he's actually supporting racism.
Eventually he'll reach stage two where he believes that what they're teaching isn't CRT; it's just history! I can't be racist!
Finally he'll find himself entrenched with the other idiots who focus on attacking the opposition because he can't face being wrong.
I'm not sure what any of this means. But it seems to be a complicated way of thinking you think know what other people are thinking. Or projecting your thoughts onto someone else? Maybe its a lot easier to admit that in the year 2021 all this race theory stuff is a bunch of horse crap?
And I might propose an alternative that we think about people as individuals with their own unique set of traits and characteristics to be judged solely on the basis of themselves and not stereotyping everyone into some rigid and structured group that shares a collective identity with common traits that are included and excluded without exception. If we all thought that way things like believing or not believing in CRT or its existence would be laughable topics. And our society would be better off and there would be a lot less conflict and more cooperation and civility. Maybe we all should agree that experiencing that existence would be a better place to live than were we are currently. And if we had any real leadership in the public or private sectors it might be possible. But we don't. The leaders we currently have seem evil and intent on hostility and divisiveness with a sole objective to enhance their own personal and professional power. And in my view anyone supporting them to this end is either complicit or a "useful idiot". That pretty much sums up my view on race and race theory.

You’re a fool. Sorry but that’s the truth. CRT is not being taught on a widespread basis in businesses and such. Diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace is; I take my training every year. You deliberately conflate that with CRT to make a false allegation. Because you’re scared for some reason.

Maybe because they don’t want brainwashed idiots like you telling them how to do their job
I think that's a legitimate question. "If they aren't teaching CRT, then why is the union defending their "right" to teach CRT?"
And as previous poster pointed out a teachers union organization stated their intent to teach CRT regardless of what or who objects.
So logic would require us to either:
1) believe in the credibility of the story about the teachers organizations stance and admit CRT exists in the school system at some level
or
2) raise questions about the credibility of the story and do some investigation to verify or refute its validity.
The truth can't be both or neither.

The hysteria is going on in our city right now. Parents going crazy. And guess what? The school system is not teaching CRT in any way, shape , or form. This is tilting at windmills.
But other districts are "teaching" cultural indoctrination. And maybe its a good thing that something is causing parents to pay more attention and hold school boards accountable? Especially in under-performing school districts where kids are just shuffled through the system without acquiring any basic skills.

They as you do have no clue what CRT is. I don’t agree with the theory but schools should foster critical thinking of all sorts. That would be antithetical to you, because as near as I can tell you don’t put critical thinking to the test. The vast majority of your posts are links to other sites and articles; they apparently do your thinking for you.
But there's a major difference between teaching critical thinking skills and imposing a theory of social concepts through indoctrination training. Specifically, on school age children. And imposing it in unilateral way without communication or debate with interested parties like parents. And then frankly seeing proponents of the idea cop an attitude when questioned. They don't seem to be open to any critical thinking and examination of their ideas. Critical thinking seems to be one thing proponents don't want to see as questioning the ideology in their view is forbidden. My personal view is if we had a population of critical thinkers our society would dismiss this "theory" as non-scientific and non-factual opinion and subjectivity.
I'm 100% certain that if some school board and teachers union somewhere decided to teach some fringe white supremist race theory that indoctrinates children in the belief that whites are inherently superior to blacks and other races the supporters of CRT would have a much different take on the teaching of "history" and your critical thinking angle would go right out the window. What we have here with CRT is plain and simple. Ideologists imposing their view on children and adults that may or may not be open to it all.

I have been trying to figure out what CRT really is by reading and watching speakers on the subject and debates. One thing I can't help but notice is, like the guy in the video, a lot of black people don't like this. Some of the debates I have watched even included whites arguing for and blacks arguing against.
CRT IMHO is starting to look like one more thing where the white man/person savior rides in on his/her white horse to save the poor ignorant black man leaving things at best about where they started or make it worse. Great Society anyone?
Maybe we should ask the average black person what they think?
In Seattle we are in a mayor's race. One black man running expressed similar sentiments.
The unintended consequences for CRT could be really bad IMHO. 2 steps back for race relations in America.
Now imagine the much better world we would be living in right now where our public debate and focus was centered on the concepts of value and uniqueness of each and every person treated as an individual rather than as some stereotypical member of some "group".

“Happy” six month anniversary of Trump’s insurrection.
Six months in and the GQP is desperately trying to rewrite history and convince America it really wasn’t a big deal.
The "you lost, get over it" crowd from 2016 clings to the fantasy that this is still Trump's America, because they lost, and they can't get over it.
Do you get some sort of royalty payments every time you post these same pictures or copy/paste other people's tweets? I am beginning to think so because you do it a lot.
Did you happen to see any "white supremacists" out and about over the weekend? I hear they are everywhere and a big danger to democracy! So be careful. LOL..

Interesting commentary from Andrew Weissman, the lead prosecutor on the Mueller probe.
Weissman is an acknowledged Trump hater that spent over a year of his life proving absolutely nothing about the Trump campaign and Russian collusion. Mainly because the relationship between the campaign and the foreign government was non-existent. But then again they knew that from the beginning. And in the process he received some nice fat government checks via the taxpayer during this investigation. So the guys clearly got an ax to grind.
While I'm not a big Trump fan I am still in awe and amazement of how people can "root" for the government when it comes to anything. And its mostly liberals that seem to get off on displays of government power against private citizens. Traditional liberals used to distrust and dislike the "establishment". I guess its a case now that they are the establishment and absolute power corrupts absolutely and your principals and ethics go out the window. That they still seem to believe they hold the moral high ground is testimony to the extent of their delusions.

Straying back to the main topic, 92 people shot in Chicago so far during the three day 4th of July weekend with 16 of those victims killed. NYC follows as a distant 2nd place with about 30 shot. No reports or video evidence of any White Supremist perps so far. We must remain vigilant as that's the biggest danger we face! Also, no deaths due to Climate Change have been reported yet.

Wtf…conservatives in this country invented cap and trade…now they block even the idea that global warming is real….and you want to blame the people who actually want to do something about it and mock their efforts….smh
That's not what saying and I could care less about the who or what about cap and trade. That's just a Wall Street hustle to monetize the carbon trade. Its not a solution to anything except the goal of keeping Wall Street bankers generously employed. And I'm not criticizing anyone's efforts. I'm just saying the popular solution isn't going to work and by the time the majority realizes this huge amounts of finite resources will be dumped down the rate hole. And the clock is ticking.
As a society and civilization we need to come to grips with the idea our current living arrangements are not sustainable if there is a real desire to do anything about the environment, land use patterns, pushing out other species to extinction, cleaning up the oceans and the air. Taking our current arrangements and unplugging the system from hydrocarbons and plugging into renewable energy sources and continuing on our merry way isn't going to happen.
When people talk about climate change they're really discussing two issues. The global warming concerns and the need to find an alternative to finite hydrocarbon resources. Conveniently the renewable energy movement checks all the boxes for both and joins a couple different political and social forces together. My contention is the solution will provide no solution to either problem.
Like I said do the math. Take all the oil and gas energy consumed on a daily basis, identify the BTU output, and then calculate how many solar cells or wind turbines you'll need to replace all that output. Then identify the capital and resource materials and facilities to build all that generation capacity. When you derive the answers you'll get what I'm saying.

EXACTLY. The fossil fuel industry would rather have the next generation of American taxpayers get stuck with the bill for the sum environmental damage. And while the political right in this country fetishizes the free market, they willfully ignore all of the federal subsidies oil and gas are given.
The “pinko commie” far-left form the subset of American politics that take climate change and environmentalism most seriously, and that’s obviously no coincidence. It takes a Marxist to really critique capitalism (as it pertains to land property rights, public goods, negative environmental externalities, unsustainable growth, etc.) without the rose-colored glasses. Only a laissez-faire extremist thinks the free market will reach optimal environmental solutions in minimal time without government regulations and assistance from federally funded scientific research.
Your U.S. emissions reduction statement is highly misleading. That refers strictly to carbon dioxide emissions but doesn’t account for all greenhouse gas emissions, namely methane from fracking.
The solution to the China dilemma is to engage in carefully crafted multilateral trade agreements with them that incentivize their cooperation under the Paris Climate Agreement. China can make a lot of money by ditching coal, taking advantage of their rare earth metal resources, and fully participating in the emerging international renewable energy market.
One thing pinko-commies don't seem to be good at is math. We're just not going to build out enough generation capacity, domestically or world wide, to produce enough energy output from solar and wind generation and other alternative sources to electrify all the vehicles on the road minus some drastic change in energy consumption and driving habits. And as I've said in previous posts the resources, like lithium, are just not available in quantities necessary. Especially in countries like the US where supplies are finite and these same environmentalist block new mining projects. They just can't have it both ways. Plus most identified lithium resources are in countries where water is scarce and people there would prefer to utilize their water resources for personal consumption and agriculture rather than destroying their environment to satisfy the needs and habits of pampered Americans. What do the virtue signalers propose? To force them to produce the metals? Or to provide incentives to them? But incentives sounds a lot like Capitalism which appears to disgust them. I suggest the use of force sounds more appropriate for socialist or communists. History and observation is clear on this point. In short once the one-time benefit of millions of years of stored sunlight in the form of high energy output from hydrocarbons is gone its "lights out" for civilization as we know it unless some more efficient source of energy is developed or discovered.
Impacts on lifestyle and living arrangements is something I don't see any of the so-called "environmentalists" discussing or willing to discuss. Its an inconvenient fact of physics and the limits of the planet that is better left in the dark. "Real" environmentalist understand this concept. Your average social media and celebrity proponent does not as they are motivated by virtue signaling rather than the desire for real solutions. Lifestyle changes and compromises are going to be necessary and they won't be made by the elites running private jets all over the planet preaching about the danger of climate change. They'll be imposed on people like you and I.
The other problem I have is people extoling the virtues of socialism and communism. Both systems are demonstrated failures everywhere. The two biggest proponents of the system the USSR and the PROC both have moved significantly away from the system. What's left? Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela? Places people are banging down the door to get into. The main problem is simple. They socialize and attempt to "equalize" consumption and "need" but ignore that equity when it comes to production. So pretty soon the person that's busting their ass to work hard realizes that the guy doing absolutely nothing gets exactly what he gets. So why bother? Soon enough nothing gets done and the system flops. Flops every time. So do yourself a favor and drop the freshman year theoretical Marxist economic system nonsense and get with how real life works. From my experience the people pushing this nonsense are generally sheltered academics and students most of which have never worked a "real" job in their lives and have no experience running any kind of business. They are just unqualified to speak about how an economic system should work as they really don't participate or produce anything of value worth trading for with them.

Yep Trump left one hell of a mess . Failure to mitigate covid at the start , failure to resupply the national stock pile of PPE.
Covid crushed the global supply chain causing shortages and higher prices. Took us out of the Iran deal that was bad but better then nothing. Never stood up to Putin for hacking.
How could I forget the massive tax cut that wasn't needed at that time.
Sure, Trump's response plan was far from perfect. Nobody should deny that. As for PPE we discovered too late that China was stockpiling this gear until they could no longer keep from communicating anything about COVID, as they acquired all the PPE they could at the expense of the rest of the world. This was a failure of US intelligence. An intelligence community that waged a war against the administration for 4 years. You can produce a lot of takeaways from examining that relationship and specifically when our agencies likely knew about COVID, the timeline, and its origins. And now Biden's bumbling bunch of fools and idiots are benefiting from the work put in place by the previous administration in response to the virus. Oher than ferment social discourse and let 100;s of thousands of poor and unskilled immigrants into the country Biden's list of "accomplishments" is blank.
And with few exceptions, like South Korea, Singapore, & Sweden, everywhere else across the world shared the same experience as the US. You many disagree but if you could please provide the extensive list of left-leaning progressive governments across the world that resolved the COVID pandemic in their respective countries in some effective and efficient manner substantially better than the US? Along with any that produced any initiative to develop and deploy vaccines and treatments more effectively?
Here's my list below.

We’ll, that’s what they’re about to do. I’m sure we’ll see any video they have, over and over and over.
What I’m trying to say is that there won’t be a moment where someone runs into the room and hands Matt Gaetz a note informing him of a deep state conspiracy where a CIA agent came dressed as Antifa then discretely put a red hat on and came through a secret tunnel, and then the whole room gasps and says……this is new information….why did none of us know this!
Its one thing to withhold evidence from public view and another to ignore and resist the disclosure process in the legal system. There's something like 14,000 hours of video taken during the day from various cameras in and around the Capitol and to date the government has refused to disclose through the legal system a single minute of any of this "evidence" to defense attorneys. I'm sure you'll come up with some flimsy excuse other than the common sense reason that the video doesn't support the governments cases against the defendants or the "insurrection" narrative.
And can we all stop pretending this has nothing to do with politics. Its has everything to do with politics. A bunch of politicians who could give two craps about law and order when it comes to the citizens in the streets across the county feigning outrage about a mob "attacking" the Capitol. Maybe if they showed a little concern for the rest of us I'd be more inclined to believe the Democrats BS.

Who Is Running the Administration, and Why Do They Refuse to Tell Those at the Top Their Plans?
This morning’s announced visit by the Bidens to Miami Beach is just another in the long list of contradictions from the administration.
The White House put out the announcement this morning that President Biden and her husband, Joe, will be making a stop at the Miami Beach enclave of Surfside, the site of the tragic condominium collapse. This is not too surprising of a visit, as Presidents frequently make tours of disaster areas, meeting with local officials and emergency experts, and coordinating relief efforts.
It just seems like it was the kind of detail someone should have told the White House Press Secretary.
It was less than 24 hours ago when Jen Psaki was asked about a Biden trip to Miami and she said directly that there was no intention for him to go there. “President Joe Biden has no plans at this time to travel to the site of a deadly condo building collapse in South Florida,” she said in response. “We don’t want to draw resources that are needed in the ongoing search and rescue operations and efforts. We will remain in contact with officials on the ground.”
In the span of just 18 hours, nothing at the disaster site has changed, regarding those cautions mentioned by Psaki, but now, suddenly, there is a trip lined up for the visit on Thursday. This becomes just the latest from an administration that is perpetually showing signs of disarray and conflicting messaging, and far more than quotidian travel plans are seen as examples.
This new example takes place as the administration is still in the process of untangling the prior conflict in messaging. Last week was supposed to be a triumph for President Biden as the bi-partisan agreement on the sprawling infrastructure bill was being announced, but then that agreement was scuttled — by President Biden himself. Immediately after a Thursday presser touting the bill, Biden gave a follow-up and declared he would not sign the new bill unless it was tied directly to his $6 trillion budget reconciliation package plan.
In a move the Wall Street Journal declared an Instant Bipartisan Double Cross, Biden completely compromised the goodwill in crafting the infrastructure deal, and possibly killed it entirely. Sen GOP Leader Mitch McConnell did not hold back in his condemnation of the move. “Endorse the agreement in one breath, and threaten to veto it in the next. It almost makes your head spin.”
Well there are only two elected official in the Executive branch of government and we know its neither of the two.
Biden served one purpose and one purpose only and that was to present to the electorate a candidate that was "moderate" enough to beat Trump. As the primary results started to pour in it became obvious to DNC leadership that none of the frontrunners had a high probability of doing that given their far left positions they needed an alternative approach. Enter Joe Biden. Out of nowhere taking the lead and winning big on Super Tuesday (perhaps a dry run for rigging the general election in November 2020?). Given his age and failing mental faculties somebody that can be easily controlled. Somebody that after elected wouldn't actually rule from the middle. So front man and puppet Joe Biden gets elected. Mission accomplished. How effective or how he is perceived is irrelevant and with the main stream press and social media running interference for the party they can maintain the charade as long as the party leaders decide is necessary. The fact that our allies and enemies alike know the President of the United States, the leader of the "free" world is mentally compromised and not calling the shots is problematic. I suspect there will be a lot of unpleasant consequences to this as we move forward. When its time for him to retire they will tell him to step down.
VP Harris, a candidate that drew about 3% of the primary vote, checks all the boxes for diversity. But just what does she stand for? Its hard to know. She doesn't appear to be anyone with a strong conviction one way or the other. Her performance to date confirms she is totally unqualified to hold either office. And like Mr. Biden, she is somebody that when called to serve as President will not cause any trouble by bucking the behind the curtain rulers at the DNC by attempting to impose her own views on policy. As she has no identifiable stance on anything this should be clear. In short, she can be expected to do what she's told. Enter front woman and puppet number two. When she becomes President the media will be aglow with the glories of the first woman, and woman of color President. Never mind she's unprepared and unqualified for the job. Her reign will clearly mark the end of the US led unipolar world order.
All this leads to a process of elimination exercise which leads me to conclude its the old Obama crew running the show. But as they're intelligent sociopaths I don't understand how they can't foresee this ending in some sort of disaster. So maybe disaster is the objective in some way or form?

I’ve been back and forth a dozen times over the last 20 years or so and I’ve come to the conclusion that you really do get what you pay for. I’d rather pay more in taxes and have good schools and state services. Add a higher salary on top and you can get ahead quite a bit easier. The days of cheap southern living are gone. Working people are priced out of these areas now. Teacher pay is absolutely horrendous in the south. I wouldn’t be caught dead in a state like Texas.
So we can agree to disagree here. I don't see it like you and I don't think I'm getting what I'm paying for here. Quite the contrary. A lot of higher income people agree with me and are exiting the State on a consistent basis. These are people that pay the majority of the State's income tax receipts. Over time this is eroding the tax base and will force State and local governments to make some hard choices. Hard choices they've avoiding making for a long time. This is true of a lot of States.
And frankly, you sound like my niece. She's a net benefit receiver of the system and thinks its just fine. While I don't know anything about you personally I suspect your situation is closer to hers than it is mine as I've yet to meet a homeowner that is elated to pay the highest property taxes in the nation. Taxes which if you own or rent you pay directly or indirectly. Or maybe you directly benefit from out of control government spending?

I think that most of you go off of memory of 10 years ago and don’t realize how much has changed since then. You could get an apartment in Wilmington or Raleigh for $600 a month back then. Those days are LONG gone. They’re 1200-1500 a month now. Same goes for Florida. We already compared the rents a few days ago on this board.
The cost of living in those southern states caught up to NJ.
Sure "private" costs are significantly more equitable but you are omitting the impact of the cost of government and taxes which are higher in "liberal" states like NJ. Is a homeowner in Raleigh paying $14,000 a year in property taxes? NJ has the highest effective property tax rate at 2.49%. NC is .77% about 31% of the NJ rate. Add in some of the highest personal income tax rates and motor fuel tax rates and there you have it. Higher cost of living. To add insult to injury the Trump tax "reform" screwed everybody by limiting deductions.

Where do you live? Wages jumped at least 5 dollars an hour here in NJ just in the last 1.5 years. They’ve actually doubled since 2011 or so. You in the south?
Are you talking about the 2008 recession? Think about it this way. From 1990 to 2006 wages went up like 2 dollars. Then they obviously stayed flat, or even decreased during the crash, then started to creep back up in 2017, then obviously took a huge leap recently. We’re a good 6 dollars ahead of where we’d naturally be without recessions here in NJ because of state legislation. Basic warehouse jobs that pay 11/12 in NC and FL are starting at 19/20 now in NJ.
They’re still too low, but that’s a huge jump in a very short amount of time.
Sky-high rents and housing costs, outrageous state, local, and property taxes, and a generally high cost of living absorb that regional wage differential and then some. The NJ economy is so great that it has one of the highest rates of young adults living with their parents (Pre, during, or after COVID) because its too expensive and almost impossible to live on their own. Seeing almost every house in the neighborhood with 4, 5, or 6 cars in the driveway is a consequence of that. The state has a net-negative loss of population on a regular basis. And you do realize those great wage costs get passed on to the customer? So there is really no benefit to higher wages when your cost of living is even higher.
NJ? You picked one of the worst examples you could.

Never did like the Bush II team and Mr. Rumsfeld was a key player. The WMD allegations was masterful in that Saddam would never disclose he had no such weapons as that admission would have emboldened his enemy Iran. While also peddling the idea Iraq was somehow connected to the 9/11 terrorists when it was obvious to anyone with just the slightest bit of knowledge all signs point to the Saudi's. It was deceit vs. deceit and set the stage for his demise and the deaths of 100,000 of thousands and the start of the migration of millions out of the Middle East to mostly Europe. And the US being stuck in Iraq for forever. And the removal of Iran's main obstacle to acting on their regional ambitions. All around a lot of bad consequences.

The January 6th Commission To Investigate The Insurrection
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Posted
I love it when I hear somebody say we found no signs of fraud or misconduct in the 2020 election. I'm not saying they're lying. I'm saying you can't find what you don't look for. Maybe you should pay attention to audit efforts in several states that the DNC unsuccessfully tried to block. And now the DOJ is trying their hand at it using some very shaky premise that somehow civil right laws are being violated. The courts will likely reject this argument. And uphold the States constitutional rights to perform these activities. So what's next? Burn down the warehouse where the ballots are stored? Wouldn't put it past them here.
When people tend to moan and groan about what somebody else might be doing I like to focus on motive. Because people are lazy and if they can avoid doing something they will. It must have some significance to them to expend so much time and effort trying to block any audits. In this case to block and delay any audits at the State level. And what is the motivation here? It all comes down to the answer to the question, if there's nothing to find then why stop anybody from spending their time looking? When they come up empty it will make you look even better. Right?
