Elementary School Tour Exposes Young Scholars to UC Berkeley Sex Week Antics

College Insurrection

"Hundreds of elementary and middle school students who recently toured UC Berkeley got an early lesson in sex education when they witnessed a guy in a giant penis costume walking around handing out condoms, as well as a variety of condom-inspired games, an undergrad at the university told The College Fix on Wednesday.

 

"…“There were kids walking by and looking and being confused,” UC Berkeley student Claire Chiara, who witnessed the situation, said in an interview with The College Fix. “It’s just really inappropriate.”

 

"The campus’ health services division hosted the National Condom Week events, which also included an “insertive condom fisting activity to show how stretchy these sexy condoms can be.”

....

 

“There are some super fun activities planned for this day including insertive condom hacky sack, Vulva and anus “pin the tail,” and an insertive condom fisting activity to show how stretchy these sexy condoms can be,” the agenda stated.

 

"On “Wear-One Wednesday,” the events focused on “traditional condoms commonly worn on a penis, toy or phallus.' ”

Is the United States under President Obama respected by America's adversaries? (UPDATED)

 Julie Pace; Obama to Russia: There will be 'costs' for Ukraine   ... "The secretary of state said the U.S. was watching to see if Russian activity in Crimea "might be crossing a line in any way." He added that the administration would be "very careful" in making judgments about that."...

Oh NO! Not the line!

 

 

NY Times: Putin Asks Russia’s Senate to Use Military Force in Ukraine

... "Mr. Putin’s request, largely a formality, signaled publicly for the first time the Kremlin’s readiness to intervene militarily in Ukraine, and it served as a blunt response to President Obama, who just hours earlier pointedly warned Russia to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty."

Krauthammer’s Take: Obama Tells the World We Aren’t Going to Do Anything About Invasion of Ukraine

"Charles Krauthammer responded on Special Report [Friday] saying, “The Ukrainians, and I think everybody, is shocked by the weakness of Obama’s statement. I find it rather staggering.' ”

Palin in 2008 said...   Sarah Palin on Ukraine: 'I could see this one from Alaska'  "After all, the media mocked her mercilessly when she criticized President Obama during the 2008 campaign, saying: "After the Russian army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next.' "

 

UPDATE: Obama's "flexibility" and the Ukraine crisis

... "What we do know is, a few months later, the Obama administration canceled a planned anti-missile system for deployment in Poland in the year 2022. This naturally pleased the Russians, since they felt the system was a deterrent to their missile capabilities.

 

"More significantly, however, the Europe-based system defended the U.S.in case of a missile attack by Iran. Furthermore, the cancelation also disengaged the European anti-missile defense systems from defending the U.S. This of course appeased both Russia and Iran, or any other regional adversary of the U.S." ...

 

Losing the Middle East to Iran (and Russia)   "The failure of the West to confront Iran has provided radical Islamic groups an opening. Sunnis who are fighting for their survival will naturally be drawn towards those who are willing to fight at their side. Those who cower on the sidelines are not going to be respected. If democracy is seen as the doctrine of cowards and losers, it will not embraced by anyone who wants (needs) to be successful. Bing West argued that the U.S. won the Iraq campaign by proving it was "the strongest tribe." That is no longer how America is perceived."

....

" If Washington has been afraid to confront Iran or even exploit an opportunity as ripe at the Syrian civil war, then it will be unlikely to challenge the ambitions of a resurgent Russia -- or so the Kremlin and others around the world (especially in Beijing) are being led to believe by Washington's passivity. "   Emphasis added, TD

 

Ted Cruz: "Stand Up To Putin's Power Grab... Stand With Ukraine"

 

Ukraine: Putin's Crimea aim is to make the West look weak  "This is tragic for Ukraine, for the near-abroad and for Nato not because it is taking us by surprise but because we have expected it for so long and seen it before and yet remain incapable of acting." 

Bush the Elder would have said, "This WILL NOT STAND!" But then, Bush the Elder is not the president.

 

Obama shares a chuckle with the people who said he was “a little too damn competent and we ain't used to that.”

 

Have you heard of the Candy Bomber?

Brokaw, the greatest generation and the candy bomber Video.

 

First, the story behind all this:

BERLIN "CANDY BOMBER"  "One of the many American pilots to fly the USAF C-54 Skymaster during the Berlin Airlift of 1948-49 ("Operation Vittles")  

was Colonel Gail S. Halvorsen of Provo, Utah. During the operation he became known as the "Candy Bomber" because he repeatedly dropped candy to German children from his aircraft on approach to the runways. " ...

 

 

Hat tip to JP Curnutt, former classmate from Garibaldi, Oregon.

 

Below: Lt. Halverson visits with West Berlin children at the end of the runway at Templehof Airport in 1948.

 

 

Some of the drawings West Berlin children sent to Lt. Halverson in thanks.

 

On Gail Halvorson and the Berlin Airlift   “ 'Operation Vittles,” as the airlift was unofficially named, began on June 26 when USAF C-47s carried 80 tons of food into Berlin, far less than the estimated 4,500 tons of food, coal, and other material needed daily to maintain a minimum level of existence. But this force was soon augmented by U.S. Navy and Royal Air Force cargo aircraft. On Oct. 15, 1948 to promote increased safety and cooperation between the separate U.S. and British airlift efforts, the Allies created a unified command, the Combined Airlift Task Force under Maj. Gen. William H. Tunner, USAF.

To underscore Allied determination to resist Soviet pressure, three SAC bomb groups were sent to Europe, placing Soviet targets well within B-29 range."

 

You didn't mess with America back then. 

Krauthammer on Putin’s Ukraine gambit

Charles Krauthammer   "Henry Kissinger once pointed out that since Peter the Great, Russia had been expanding at the rate of one Belgium per year. All undone, of course, by the collapse of the Soviet Union, which Russian President Vladimir Putin called “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] century.”

 

"Putin’s mission is restoration. First, restore traditional Russian despotism by dismantling its nascent democracy. And then, having created iron-fisted “stability,” march."

....

"What Obama doesn’t seem to understand is that American inaction creates a vacuum. His evacuation from Iraq consigned that country to Iranian hegemony, just as Obama’s writing off Syria invited in Russia, Iran and Hezbollah to reverse the tide of battle.

 

"Putin fully occupies vacuums" ....

....

"Secretary of State John Kerry says Russian intervention would be a mistake. Alas, any such declaration from this administration carries the weight of a feather. But better that than nothing. Better still would be backing these words with a naval flotilla in the Black Sea."

Law Prof Who Voted For Obama: We’re At a Constitutional Tipping Point

American Glob   "I’ve written about Professor Jonathan Turley at College Insurrection.

"Turley is exactly the type of academic the left would have loved to trot out when George W. Bush was president. One little problem… Turley voted for Obama.

"Allahpundit adds this…

These Turley clips always get attention because it’s gratifying to see at least one scholar willing to challenge the Unicorn Prince on his “virtuous” power grabs, but the whole point of his testimony, really, is to challenge Congress and the courts, not Obama.

"Here’s the video.

 

"Remember when people at The New York Times, CNN and all three big networks were claiming that Bush was usurping the United States Constitution?

"The same people told us Obama was a Constitutional law professor.

"Where are their concerns now?"

'I was given every s*** job in the world by Obama': Biden makes astonishing revelations about his relationship with the President as it's claimed he was 'frozen out' by White House over gay gaffe

The former London Daily Mail

 

..."He went on to admit that Obama kept up his end of the bargain for the majority of their dealings, but the article reveals that there has been a definite frost between the two men that came after Biden announced his approval of gay marriage before the President.

"Two years later, the chill in their once buddy relationship is only now beginning to thaw." 

....

"The two men met and Biden apologized, asserting that it was an accident- just another in Biden’s long history of gaffes- but insiders apparently felt that it may have been a calculated move to signal his loyalty to the progressives who felt they were being ignored by Obama. 

 

"The apology was not enough and Obama’s staff reportedly turned hostile to the Vice President."

 

Where is Obama's anger at America's enemies who demonstrate their disrespect for him and, by extension, the United States?

Obama: the Pen, Phone, and Failure

William L. Gensert    "Barack Obama is a failure as president, and with a little less than 3 years before he leaves office, people are starting to notice.

 

"On the economy, he has presided over the worst economic recovery from recession since WW II, and the lowest labor force participation rate in decades.  He spent a trillion dollars of ‘stimulus,’ rewarding political backers and cronies, while exploding the budget line. 

....

"Under Barack Obama, our friends and enemies alike view the president, and by extension the nation, as weak and vacillating (see Syria). 

 

"Everyone knows that the only people who fear Barack Obama are Americans.

The Chinese know they have only the next 3 years to make their move for hegemony in the South China Sea.  The clock is ticking.

 

"Clearly, the world will be a much more dangerous place in 2017 than it was in 2008.

 

 

Legal Scholars Said Arizona Law Was ‘Egregiously Misrepresented’ by Critics; SB1062 did NOT say that businesses could discriminate for religious reasons.

Paula Bolyard   "The letter noted that the federal government and eighteen states have Religious Freedom Restoration Acts (RFRAs) that require the government to have a compelling interest before burdening a person’s religious exercise. The legal scholars assert that the standard makes sense. “We should not punish people for practicing their religions unless we have a very good reason.” Arizona has had a RFRA in place for nearly fifteen years with only a handful of cases and little controversy. SB 1062 merely sought to clear up two ambiguities in the existent law:

It would provide that people are covered when state or local government requires them to violate their religion in the conduct of their business, and it would provide that people are covered when sued by a private citizen invoking state or local law to demand that they violate their religion.

 

But nothing in the amendment would say who wins in either of these cases. The person invoking RFRA would still have to prove that he had a sincere religious belief and that state or local government was imposing a substantial burden on his exercise of that religious belief. And the government, or the person on the other side of the lawsuit, could still show that compliance with the law was necessary to serve a compelling government interest. [Emphasis original]

"Given the unadulterated spin characterizing this as an anti-gay hate bill, it would have taken a great deal of moral courage for Brewer to sign it. The truth was so obscured by the widespread propaganda that she would have paid an extraordinary political price. As has often happened in the debate over same-sex marriage, truth took a back seat to the meme. Unfortunately, Brewer’s constituents, who depended on her to defend their religious liberty, may now be the ones to pay the price."

How Conservatives Can Take Back (Some of) Hollywood for Oscar Time

"If conservatives give up Hollywood, they give up the country. Game over."

 

Roger Simon at PJ Media;  ... "But as you run your personal boycott of Hollywood, remember this. Almost everyone else you know — be it family, friends, business associates and, most especially, your children — is not. They are consuming Hollywood entertainment in mammoth gulps. And politics, as the late Andrew Breitbart said repeatedly (and he was far from the only one), is downstream of culture.

 

"You give up Hollywood and you give up the country. Game over. And as we all know, it’s almost over already. Want that? Well, if you do, you can skip the rest of this article." ....

Harry Reid’s Horror Stories

Chip Bok 

 

"You like your doctor but you can’t keep him. You like your insurance but you can’t keep it. ObamaCare is a train wreck.

"Koch Brother Horror Stories

"These horror stories are all lies, lies, and damned lies according to cowboy poet Harry Reid. They didn’t really happen to you. They were ginned up at the un-American Brothers Koch Fairy Tale mill to send red state democrats running for cover."

I prefer the Koch Brothers to the Democrat's George Soros , the four-billion-dollar man.

Harry Reid: Liar    "Allahpundit described my reaction to Harry Reid’s latest broadsides against truth and decency rather accurately, writing that I was “virtually shaking with rage and disbelief that this tool could say this with a straight face.”  I eventually channeled that anger — and it was genuine anger — into a rapid fire Twitter fact-check of the US Senate’s dishonorable leader" ...

Cited in this post is: Stephen Blackwood: ObamaCare and My Mother's Cancer Medicine.   "The news was dumbfounding. She used to have a policy that covered the drug that kept her alive. Now she's on her own."

And then, because our lawmakers and president thought they could do better, she had nothing. Her old plan, now considered illegal under the new health law, had been canceled.

Levin Tells The Tea Party to Fight Obama's Tyranny: 'Firewall of The Constitution Has Been Breached'

Big Government   "Conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin spoke at the Tea Party's fifth anniversary on Thursday morning from the Hyatt Regency in Washington, D.C. about the importance of maintaining the integrity of the U.S. Constitution..."

 

So much for the Constitution being a "living, breathing document". (Updated)

Update: Our living, breathing Constitution  "Many judges these days like to refer to the Constitution of the United States as a "living, breathing document," implying that its text is designed to be flexible. It is not. The Constitution is a set of rules, and like any other set of rules, it is meant to be strict and uncompromising. Of course, the Constitution can be modified through the amendment process, but once ratified, any amendment becomes like the rest of the Constitution; rigid."

....

"Once accountability has been sidestepped at any level or within any branch of government, the result is, by the very definition of the word, tyranny." .... 

Until 21st Century Democrats took power.

TheComicalConservative

Update: Chicanery … the Constitution as a “Living, Breathing Document”  say the statists.

"This ill-advised idea has been around since the early 20th century."

....

"Imagine contacting your auto insurance claims agent following an accident.  “I truly am sorry.  Your coverage is based upon a ‘living, breathing’ insurance policy.  What you signed up for has evolved and changed.  You’re actually not insured as you thought you were.' ”

 

Come to think about it, Obama's pledges about Obamacare could accurately be called living and breathing pledges; his redlines and threats to rogue dictators appear to be living and breathing. TD

 

 

 

 And Democrats in Congress enable this.
