ESPN Replaces Mike Ditka After Calling President Obama 'The Worst President We've Ever Had'

AllThatsNews . . . "It seems that Ditka is now being punished for his honesty and for speaking out against the President because it was revealed that he is now being replaced as a panelist on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown. In 2013, Ditka said that not running against Obama in the Illinois 2004 Senate race was the "biggest mistake" he had ever made. Ditka said, "Not that I would have won. But I probably would have and he wouldn't be in the White House."
"At the time, Obama said that the NFL legend "immediately becomes a favorite" if he entered the race. In 2011, President Obama invited the 1985 Chicago Bears Team, which Ditka coached to a Super Bowl victory, to the White House. During the ceremony, Ditka presented Obama with a personalized Bears jersey and called him "one of us.' "


Soros’s campaign of global chaos

"Major media outlets in the US have ignored the leak of thousands of emails from billionaire George Soros’s Open Society Foundation by the activist hacker group DCLeaks. The OSF is the vehicle through which Soros has funneled billions of dollars over the past two decades to non-profit organizations in the US and throughout the world.
  
"According to the documents, Soros has given more than $30 million to groups working for Hillary Clinton’s election in November, making him her largest single donor. So it is likely the case that the media’s support for Clinton has played some role in the mainstream media’s bid to bury the story.
  
"It is also likely however, that at least some news editors failed to understand why the leaked documents were worth covering. Most of the information was already public knowledge. Soros’s massive funding of far left groups in the US and throughout the world has been documented for more than a decade.
  
"But failing to see the significance of the wider story because many of the details were already known is a case of missing the forest for the trees. The DCLeaks document dump is a major story because it exposes the forest of Soros’s funding networks.
  
"The first thing that we see is the megalomaniacal nature of Soros’s philanthropic project. No corner of the globe is unaffected by his efforts. No policy area is left untouched." . . .

On Soros and the Black Lives Matter movement:
Black Lives Matter, which has received $650,000 from Soros-controlled groups over the past year is a classic example of these efforts. Until recently, the police were universally admired in the US as the domestic equivalent of the military. BLM emerged as a social force bent on politicizing support for police. Its central contention is that in the US, police are not a force for good, enabling society to function by maintaining law and order. Rather, police are a tool of white repression of blacks.

 Law enforcement in predominantly African American communities is under assault as inherently racist.

BLM agitation, which has been accused of inspiring the murders of police in several US cities, has brought about two responses from rank and file police. First, they have been demoralized, as they find themselves criminalized for trying to keep their cities safe from criminals.

 Second, their willingness to use force in situations that demand the use of force has diminished. Fear of criminal charges on the one hand, and public condemnation as “racists” on the other causes police to prefer inaction even when situations require that they act.

Carlos Danger rides again  . . . "Exit question: In the event that Hillary Clinton manages to become the next president in spite of her many ethical lapses and general air of dishonesty, one assumes that Huma Abedin will be spending a lot of time in the West Wing. Will her husband be tagging along for any visits? I only ask because Clinton is already famous for having trouble related to her handling of email and internet accessible documents, but Weiner clearly shouldn’t be near any sensitive materials with a camera enabled cell phone. We wouldn’t want the Russians getting hold of the launch codes, even if they had to crop Anthony Weiner’s crotch out of the photo." . . .
Ann Althouse comments: It's just another phallic Monday.
And a reader added this:
Though Huma and Wiener would do OK as the butt of a great deal of nasty humor, it's just that nobody in the whole foursome has any kind of redeeming qualities.
"Obamastan"?  "While Kapernick’s insertion of himself into the boiling racial cauldron of late stage Obamastan made him a hero to social justice weasels across the land, some fans were so outraged that they burned his jerseys." 

I'm sure there are issues where law-abiding African-Americans are mistreated, but the CJW's have done the worst possible job of making their case, using Sharpton, Farrakhan, looters, assassins, and Michelle Obama to present the worst possible picture of their stated plight. TD

Why the Obama and the NAACP rejection of charter schools

Education Next: Why Does the NAACP Oppose Charter Schools?
"This summer, at its national convention, the NAACP voted to support a moratorium on the growth of charter schools. Why?
"As Paul E. Peterson notes in US News, this decision is puzzling for a number of reasons.  Read here.
ednext-aug2016-blog-ototn-naacp-charters"First of all:  Forty-eight percent of African Americans say they favor the formation of charters, while only 29 percent stand in opposition, with the remainder taking the neutral position. In fact the opinions of African-Americans resemble those of the American public as a whole – 51 percent support, 28 percent oppose, 21 percent neutral.

The NAACP is about teachers' unions, not black children  . . . "So what's going on?  Why would the nation's oldest civil rights group deny African-American children a real opportunity to succeed?
"My guess is that most of these NAACP leaders send their kids to private schools anyway.  In other words, what do they care?
"More importantly, the Democratic Party is owned by the public-sector unions.  It's good for the party on election day, but it does not do minority parents any good when they try to educate their kids.

Everything You Need to Know About the NAACP’s Stance on Charter Schools  
. . . "There’s not much survey data specifically on how Black parents feel about charter schools nationally, but it’s pretty clear that they resoundingly support a parent’s right to choose the best school for their child.
  • 72 percent of Black parents believe that charter schools offer options to low-income communities rather than take resources from traditional public schools. (Education Post, August 2015).
  • 82 percent of Black parents say families should be allowed to choose their child’s public school, regardless of where they live (NAPCS, April 2016).
  • 70 percent of Black voters support more school options for parents, including traditional public schools, charters and even voucher and scholarship programs (BAEO survey of four states in August 2015).
