SHE’S DOING HARM

Instapundit--SHE’S DOING HARM

"Ilhan Omar Knows What She’s Doing. 

“Omar, as the kids say, is owning her truth. 

Her tap dance follows a pattern that is by now well established, in which the justice-seeking congresswoman 

  • makes nakedly prejudicial remarks
  • pretends to walk them back in the face of muted criticism from her colleagues, 
  • characterizes the criticism itself as Islamophobic
  • and proceeds to reoffend.”--Posted by

Every New Republican Is the Most Evil Republican Ever by Kurt Schlichter
"According to the Democrats, Donald Trump is literally Hitler or something, but rest assured that the next Republican to become a threat to their dominance will be Hitler2 because of course he will. 
Or she. 
Maybe it won’t be Ron DeSantis, who we will be told is Baal without the upside. 
...It’s just one of those things that simply is and cannot be denied – the sun rises in the east, Brian Stelter is a potato, and every Republican leader is a million times worse than the one who preceded him.

  • They hated him not even because of those mean tweets – they like meanness.

As Rebellion Against Critical Race Theory Grows, Left Turns to Denial

As Rebellion Against Critical Race Theory Grows, Left Turns to Denial

Americans are waking up to the threat posed by critical race theory, which is often presented behind a cloak of secrecy and the banner of social justice, and across the country, they are now fighting back.

The Biden administration may have reversed former President Donald Trump’s ban on critical race theory and so-called anti-racist training in government agencies, but Americans from a diverse set of backgrounds are now making this a national fight, which is dramatically playing out on the local and state level.

What has been the response from the left to this popular rebellion against critical race theory?

"Climate change", the weapon that never quits giving.


 

Which Is The Real Party Of Racism?

Which Is The Real Party Of Racism?
"The blasé response to the revelation that Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse belonged to a private “whites only” club and even owned a stake in it, should come as no surprise.
In the Democrats’ race-obsessed world, only Republicans are racist.
Whitehouse confused the issue last week when asked about his membership in Bailey’s Beach Club and its alleged all-white membership, saying: “I think the people who are running the place are still working on that and I’m sorry it hasn’t happened yet.”
Well, it turns out, his family is among the “people who are running the place.”
...So, to ask the by-now-cliched question, if Whitehouse were a Republican would he get a pass from the Democrats?
 Of course not.
The reason is simple. 
Whitehouse, like so many Democrats, portrays himself as a staunch anti-racist, as he did recently during a Senate “moment of silence” to commemorate the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor: “We can and must do better to root out systemic racism in its many forms and meet America’s full promise of justice for all.”...Read all.

A Scientist Scientifically Uses Science to Debunk Global Warming Alarmist Pseudo-Science

A Scientist Scientifically Uses Science to Debunk Global Warming Alarmist Pseudo-Science

"A 21st-century version of Lysenkoism has become the dominant pseudoscience of the American Left, with ever-changing theories associated with anthropogenic global warming having shaped Democrat control policies and crackpot economic schemes for over a generation.

Lysenkoism was the Soviet version of politically correct science akin to the global warming alarmist mania that has conquered the Democrat Party and the Left over the last 40 years. Agronomist and biologist Trofim Lysenko (1898-1976) cast aside the genetic theory of evolution for the pseudoscience of evolution by “acquired characteristics,” i.e., “that organisms evolved through the acquisition of traits that they needed and used.” ...That impact is summarized here:

In the political storms that ravaged the Soviet Union following the rise of Stalin, Lysenko’s idea that all organisms, given the proper conditions, have the capacity to be or do anything had certain attractive parallels with the social philosophies of Karl Marx (and the twentieth-century French philosopher Henri Bergson) that promoted the idea that man was largely a product of his own will. Enamored with the political correctness and with the “scientific merit” of Lysenko’s ideas, Stalin took matters one step further by personally attacking modern genetics as counter-revolutionary or bourgeois science. While the rest of the scientific world could not conceive of understanding evolution without genetics, Stalin’s Soviet Union used its political power to suppress rational scientific inquiry. Under Stalin, science was made to serve political ideology...Read all.

Charles Murray's Two Uncomfortable Truths and His Not Bad Advice - Rasmussen Reports

Charles Murray's Two Uncomfortable Truths and His Not Bad Advice - Rasmussen Reports
"Give Charles Murray, longtime scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, credit for courage. 
Again and again, despite outrageously unfair attacks, he has returned to the public arena and persisted in telling unwelcome truths. 
...It will be interesting to see whether there is a similar reaction to his latest and much shorter book, "Facing Reality: Two Truths About Race in America."

  • His first truth is that "American Whites, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians, as groups, have different means and distributions of cognitive abilities." Murray makes mincemeat of arguments against IQ tests and shows that they're highly correlated with achievement in schools and in later life. Asians have the highest average scores, followed by Whites, Latinos and Blacks.
  • Murray's second truth is that "American Whites, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians, as groups, have different rates of violent crime."...Read all.
