It’s not racism that’s destroying American communities
Andrea Widburg "Democrats know what’s destroying inner-city communities: Systemic racism (including in prison sentences), the lack of reparations, police violence, the lack of organic groceries, and AR-15s. None of this is true, of course, but it’s the snake oil they’re peddling and, sadly, a lot of people within these inner-city communities seem to buy it because they keep voting for the same old Democrats. (Maxine Waters, anyone?)"...
..."Rather than telling hard truths and tackling real problems, Democrats are demanding reparations. As we know from almost six decades of welfare, along with thousands of programs steering resources to minority communities, (1) these programs don’t work, and (2) just as in any corrupt country, a significant part of the funds ends up in bureaucrats’ and politicians’ offices and pockets. In other words, based on past performance, it’s reasonable to believe that the push for reparations has less to do with saving communities from collapse and a lot more to do with old-fashioned graft."
Why is there a trans team, then?
Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary identity is real.
The NHL is proud to support this past weekend's Team Trans Draft Tournament in Middleton, Wisconsin. This was the first tournament comprised entirely of transgender and nonbinary players, with around 80 folks participating! #HockeyIsForEveryone #NHLPride pic.twitter.com/OfEoAVXtH5

. . .Social media erupted in the wake of the tweet, with many bashing the league as woke, but the NHL has doubled down, reiterating its support for the transgender and LGBT community in an initiative called "Hockey is or Everyone."
"We support any teammate, coach or fan who brings heart, energy and passion to the rink," the NHL said in a statement.
"We believe all hockey programs — from professionals to youth organizations — should provide a safe, positive and inclusive environment for players and families regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, disability, sexual orientation and socio-economic status," it continued. . . .
Biden talking points for around the Thanksgiving table
“Isn’t that nice… The government telling you what to talk about with family over Thanksgiving dinner. Orwell would be proud.”
"White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain literally gives you talking points to brag about Biden when “that Uncle” tries to get political with you at Thanksgiving."

Mike Pompeo is right about America’s most dangerous enemy
A devoted educator, Dad understood that the unions were disinterested in educating. Even then, they were pushing an agenda we now call “social justice,” because they focused on elevating race and destroying knowledge.

"During an interview with Semafor, the former Secretary of State said that America as a country survives only if children are taught American values. However, thanks to the AFT, they’re being taught anti-American values.
"Shelby Talcott, who was conducting the interview, asked Pompeo to articulate what he believes are central issues for a 2024 Republican candidate. Rather unusually for a Republican, Pompeo was able to articulate both core values and the enemy of those values:
The central ideas of America are timeless — limited government, expanded set of freedoms, protecting the capacity of people to practice their faith. The very things I spoke about tonight — making sure we don’t teach our kids crap in schools, which we are at the center of doing.
I tell the story often — I get asked “Who’s the most dangerous person in the world? Is it Chairman Kim, is it Xi Jinping?” The most dangerous person in the world is Randi Weingarten. It’s not a close call. If you ask, “Who’s the most likely to take this republic down?” It would be the teacher’s unions, and the filth that they’re teaching our kids, and the fact that they don’t know math and reading or writing. These are the things that candidates should speak to in a way that says, “Here’s the problem. Here’s a proposal for how to solve it. And if given the opportunity, these are the things I will go work on to try and deliver that outcome that fixes that problem.” Pretty straightforward stuff.
If our kids don’t grow up understanding America is an exceptional nation, we’re done. If they think it’s an oppressor class and an oppressed class, if they think the 1619 Project, and we were founded on a racist idea — if those are the things people entered the seventh grade deeply embedded in their understanding of America, it’s difficult to understand how Xi Jinping’s claim that America is in decline won’t prove true.". . .
’So F***ing Stressful’: Hunter Biden Interview Quickly Goes South
"There are looming criminal charges for Hunter Biden, the disgraced son of President Joe Biden.
"Sources say criminal charges are “imminent” for Hunter in connection to his shady overseas business dealings as well as the illegal purchase of a firearm while he was regularly smoking crack cocaine.
"In the meantime, Hunter found time to appear on a podcast called “The Crypto Roundtable Show” with host Mario Nawfal.
"Podcast host Mario Nawfal quickly found out that Hunter didn’t actually have any commentary to offer on the topic of NFTs or cryptocurrency.
" 'Behind the scenes, that was tough,” Nawfal admitted. “There were a lot of requirements we had to meet.”
"F***ing that was so stressful,” he added. “That was so f***ing stressful, man.”
"Nawfal explained that his hands were “tied” because behind the scenes he was disallowed to ask the president’s son certain questions.". . .
Karine Jean-Pierre Insists It’s Not Her Job To Answer Questions Like Some Sort Of Press Secretary
"WASHINGTON, D.C. — Things got tense in the White House briefing room today after several journalists in the press pool asked Jean-Pierre to answer some questions.
" 'Listen here — it's not my job to stand here and answer your questions all day like some sort of press secretary," said Jean-Pierre while furiously flipping through her 3-ring binder to find a pre-written comeback that would shut the journalists down once and for all. "For goodness' sake, I'm a human being, not some wind-up toy or magic 8-ball you can shake up and ask whatever question you want to! What do you take me for? A member of the White House communications team?' ". . .
