    Poll: Three-Quarters Of Americans Oppose ‘White Privilege’ Training

    So 75% of parents want "intelligent design" taught in schools.

     

     

    Yeah sure.

     

    I am quite sure that your elitist bias is showing.

     

    Just more hypocritical crap. (as you would say)

    I am quite sure the same people that object to CRT being discussed are, by and large, the same that want the theory of intelligent design taught in public schools.  Just more hypocritical crap.

     

     

     

    I am "quite sure" that you are wrong.

    PEOPLE ARE CATCHING ON

     

    Watching the Democratic Party press try to pretend that Joe Biden is a fully-functioning adult has been entertaining. To the extent that anyone sees Biden in action, that effort is futile. Thus, despite the press’s determination to pretend that all is well, people are figuring out that Biden is not all there.

     

    Trafalgar asked the question: “Do you believe President Biden is fully executing the duties of his office?” Possible answers were “Yes, he is directing all policy and agenda,” “No, others are directing policy and agenda,” and “Not sure.” The results show that the emperor’s nakedness is visible to most:

    Independents, usually those who pay the least attention, are not being fooled:

    These numbers will only get worse, as more people observe Biden and as his deterioration continues.

    What’s interesting about this is how it juxtaposes to emergency orders dealing with COVID that populated nearly every corner of the country last year. Unfortunately, far too many on the right endorsed the idea that states had broad authority to violate basic rights, including people simply being outside their homes, in order to stop the pandemic. In the end, lockdown measures were largely futile given their lack of correlation with spread, but they happened nonetheless.

     

    Because of that precedent, Cuomo likely figures that as long as he has declared a state of emergency, he has the power to confiscate guns from legal gun owners and enact a variety of other policies that make a mockery of gun rights. And can you blame him? When the entire political structure, including a Republican president and most Republican Congressional members at the time, endorsed the idea that lockdowns and mask orders could be enforced due to a declaration of emergency, there’s no reason for Cuomo to believe the power trip stops there.

     

    During his speech announcing the order, Cuomo complained that no one needs an “assault rifle” to hunt deer, apparently believing that the Second Amendment exists for hunting. It shows the kind of ridiculous interpretation of rights (or lack thereof) that many on the left have.

     

    How far this ultimately goes is still an open question. No doubt all of these moves by Cuomo will end up in court at some point in the future. Will he stop short of full-scale confiscation? We’ll find out.

    These two stories could have easily gone under the "leftists are mentally disturbed" thread also.

     

    Listen, no matter how hard you keep trying to turn this into an insurrection on par with Pearl Harbor, 

     

    the average American knows that this is just an overblown riot.

    Stopping K–12 Indoctrination Is Right

    By STANLEY KURTZ

     

    FTA:

     

    K–12 students are minors. They are vulnerable to a teacher’s authority in a way that college students are not. Telling minors that they should feel guilt or responsibility because of their skin color is a line that should not be crossed by any school district in these United States. Sadly, while some states will surely allow this to occur, it is well within the authority of other states to prevent this abuse if they see fit, for every good reason.

     

    The education of children is rightly a matter for democratic decision-making in a way that the college classroom is not. With indoctrination slipping its campus redoubt to strike at America’s schoolchildren, the game has rightly changed. The acolytes of CRT have traveled a bridge too far.

    Flop Sweat Builds as Democrats Realize Latinos Can Think for Themselves

     

     

    If you’ve noticed a bit of consternation among Democrats lately in regards to losing Latino voters, you aren’t alone. They’ve been broadcasting their worries for a while now, mostly in the form of doubling down on social justice issues that don’t actually move the very demographic they are seeking to preserve an advantage with.

     

    But the real gut-punch happened last week after Pew Research Center released its “gold standard” data that seeks to accurately denote how different subgroups voted in the 2020 election. While the breakdowns include men/women, married/unmarried, college/no college, etc. it was the fact that Donald Trump took 38% of the Latino vote that has flop sweat building in Democrat circles.

     

    Now, they are flailing in response.

     

     

     

     

    Note the way this person, a former Hillary Clinton aide, tries to spin what’s happening. Instead of recognizing that people are individuals and that different subsets of Latinos might have different priorities, she tries to claim that Latinos are going through an “identity crisis.” This assumes that they are a monolith when they clearly aren’t. Latinos split heavily for and against things based on their country of origin, for example. There’s also the fact that they generally care more about the meat and potato issues vs. obsessing over social justice battles regarding the border. Your average voting Latino just isn’t animated by promising amnesty as much as Democrats like to think they are.

     

    Yet, instead of changing course and recognizing that it is their own, radical politics that are driving Democrats away, those on the left seem to be going back to the same old divide and conquer playbook in hopes of turning things around. Note that the headling in the NBC News piece that I got the Pew data from leads with the fact that non-college-educated Latinos broke more for Trump than those with a college degree. That’s a not-so-subtle way of trying to paint those that chose to vote Republican as unintelligent.

    CHRISTOPHER BEDFORD: Why Saving Comedy Is So Crucial To Saving America.

     

    Real humor requires risk-taking — it requires saying something that will surprise and, sometimes, appall the listener. So why should we be surprised that humor is vanishing?

     

    People aren’t dumb. They’ve looked around, and they see that telling the wrong joke — or even simply laughing at one — is a quick way to destroy your life; better to just suffer in silence and watch old Eddie Murphy clips from the 1980s like they’re banned readings in the Soviet Union, which, soon, they might well be.

     

    Most of the funniest comedy today comes from anonymous people online — the people who make internet memes and run anonymous Twitter accounts. Think about that: Random idiots on the internet are way funnier than professional comedians paid millions of dollars a year for one simple reason — only anonymous people can actually be funny without fear.

     

    Read the whole thing.
