Math professor fired after refusing woke reeducation, so judge strips crucial protection from his persecutors

 Warner Todd Huston, The Western Journal   "The publicly funded University of North Texas was dealt a blow in court after a federal judge said school officials can be held responsible for firing employees for exercising their right of free speech.

"In his 69-page order of March 11, Judge Sean Jordan, of the United States District Court for Eastern Texas, found that university officials should have known that math professor Nathaniel Hiers' speech "touched on a matter of public concern and that discontinuing his employment because of his speech violated the First Amendment," before they fired him for going public with his disagreement with the left-wing concept of "microaggressions."

"The university was claiming qualified immunity for school officials in the case, meaning that the school wanted its officials to be excluded from being held responsible for their actions merely because they were acting in their position as state employees. Jordan denied the claim of qualified immunity and also denied the school's demand to have the case dismissed outright.

"The University of North Texas is in Denton, about 40 miles north of Dallas.

"According to Just the News, the case stems from an incident in 2019 when Hiers wrote "Don't leave garbage lying around" on a faculty lounge chalkboard right above a stack of flyers pushing the idea of "microaggressions." The flyers were not approved by the school for distribution, but some left-wing professor left them out for people to take regardless.". . .

Schweizer, whose best-selling book - Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win - reveals how the Biden family has enriched themselves through shady foreign deals, dropped the hammer on Joe Biden during an appearance on Fox News.

He weighed in on The New York Times finally admitting that Hunter Biden’s laptop, and the emails found on it, are all authentic.

According to Schweizer, the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop show his father, Joe Biden, “was the beneficiary” of funds from influential people in Ukraine, China, and Russia.

" 'From a political standpoint now that this is in people’s consciousness, it had been suppressed up until now, obviously they have a hot potato and just to see how they handle it will be interesting," Barr responded.". . .

"A slew of other figures and outlets followed the Biden camp in dismissing and even condemning the story.

"Brian Stelter, chief media correspondent for CNN and host of the cable show Reliable Sources declared at the time that the Post story was not based on ” fully reliable sources here,” and called it “a classic example of the right-wing media machine,” as well as a “manufactured scandal.”

"At National Public Radio, managing editor Terence Samuel wrote that the organization would not be covering the story because “we don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.”. . .

Squad member Rep. Cori Bush: 'We can't be afraid of saying defund the police' -

 American Thinker   "Freshman representative Cori Bush (D-Mo.) is giving heartburn to Nancy Pelosi and the other bosses of the Democrat party who understand that their real agenda has to be kept hidden from the public.  Bush is a radical BLM-supporter who defeated a ten-term veteran congressman, Lacy Clay, in a primary upset and went on to win the general election in a safe Democrat district that includes the city of St. Louis and northern suburbs.  This is exactly parallel to the career trajectory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

"And like Sandy Cortez, Cori Bush feels free to speak her mind, knowing that she has already defeated the party bosses.

"Appearing on The Breakfast Club, a Black-oriented syndicated radio program, Rep. Bush created a video segment that will be of great assistance to Republican candidates.  It's less than 30 seconds, perfect for video ads.". . .

'Law schools are in crisis. The truth doesn't matter much. The game is to signal one's virtue'

 Yale law school professor issues urgent warning about the future of the rule of law in the US  | Daily Mail Online

. . . "A corporate lawyer in Virginia, who asked Sibarium to remain anonymous for fear of losing his job, agreed that law is now reflective of those who are currently in power and hold the popular opinion. 

'You see it in all of the worst things we see in Donald Trump: 'The law means what I say it means. The election was stolen because I lost,' the lawyer said, referring to The former presidents unfounded but popular claims of election fraud.   

'Once you depart from the idea that we're all people under the law, it really matters who is in power. That starts to feel like the rule of man, not the rule of law.'

'That's hugely corrosive,' the lawyer added. 

Another anonymous attorney, who works in Washington D.C., added that this mentality has already been affecting law offices around the nation as lawyers are now worried about the optics of the cases they take up and how 'woke' they appear in front of their associates. 

'Partners are being blindsided by associates who they think are liberals in their own image, but they're not,' the lawyer told Sibarium. 

'The associates want to burn the place down.'  

Strossen added that this has also led lawyers feel like they must self-censor walk on a tightrope to make sure they don't say anything that could be seen as remotely controversial. 

'I massively self-censor,' she said. 'I assume that every single thing that is said, every facial gesture, is going to be recorded and potentially disseminated to the entire world. ". . .

Mother of trans teenager: Los Angeles County killed my daughter

 Washington Examiner

"The number of teenagers identifying as transgender has exploded. Advocates say it protects young people from marginalization. Some experts, however, many of whom consider themselves survivors, warn against treating adolescent confusion with drugs and surgeries that have irreversible physical and psychological effects. In the second part of this series, the Washington Examiner speaks to the mothers affected.

"Abby Martinez tried to fight back when a Los Angeles school, county social workers, and an LGBT group sought to transition her confused 15-year-old daughter.

"But once Yaeli Martinez was moved into foster care and later injected with testosterone, the heartbroken mother could only watch helplessly as the girl spiraled into depression that ended when she stepped in front of an oncoming train.

" 'They killed my daughter," a tearful Martinez told the Washington Examiner. "They had to pick pieces of her off of the track.' ”. . .

"McEldowney is a 31-year veteran of Foreign Service, having served as ambassador to Bulgaria, and deputy chief of mission in both Azerbaijan and Turkey. 

"The adviser's departure comes on the heels of Harris's high-stakes NATO trip to Poland and Romania, and after a turbulent first year marked by a number of public messaging failures. 

"In Warsaw, Harris attracted controversy after laughing off questions about the refugee crisis resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.". . .

Biden warned staff that anyone leaking negative stories about Kamala Harris would be fired: New book | Daily Mail Online   . . ."The president reportedly hauled staffers into the Oval Office in after a story emerged in the outlet in June painting Harris' office as an 'abusive environment.' 

"Biden warned senior staff that if 'he found that any of them was stirring up negative stories about the vice president' then 'they would quickly be former staff.'   

"The book describes the pair's relationship as 'friendly but not close.' 

" 'Their weekly lunches lacked a real depth of personal and political intimacy,' the authors wrote -- a notable departure from the president's characteristic warmth.". . .  

Former Russia President Calls Poland the Source of 'Evil, Vulgar and Shrill' Propaganda and Joe Biden 'Demented' as Biden Prepares to Visit Poland –

  RedState    "To say the least, I’m very concerned about Biden’s visit. From the earliest days of the crisis, I’ve never been all that sure which side Biden was on. More often than not, his actions before the invasion acted like those of a man eager to ingratiate himself with Putin; see Kyiv Is ‘Stunned’ That Biden Appears to Greenlight ‘Minor Incursion’ Into Ukraine and WH Tries to Clean up Biden’s ‘Minor Incursion’ Gaffe but They Only Make It Worse. In addition, I thought the bizarre joint press conference with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark “White Rage Boy” Milley tried to goad Putin into attacking Ukraine; see Why Today’s Austin-Milley Press Conference Convinces Me That Joe Biden Wants Conflict With Russia in Ukraine.

"The Biden bunch has gone a long way towards treating Poland like an enemy. Biden was the guy who pulled the plug on Poland’s plan to transfer MiGs to Ukraine; see Revealed: The Real Reason That Deal to Send Fighter Jets to Ukraine Fell Through. Our alleged Secretary of State Anthony Blinken made a statement that seemed to put Poland outside the protection of NATO; see Did Blinken Put Poland Outside NATO Protection if It Transfers New Fighter Aircraft to Ukraine?

"Given Biden’s obvious cognitive issues, I think him talking to anyone other than his freakin dog is a bad move. He certainly can’t match the courage of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Petr Fiala of the Czech Republic, and Janez Jansa of Slovenia meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal in Kiev (see Three Prime Ministers Brave Artillery Fire in Ukraine as Joe Biden Unveils a New White House Tour Schedule). Plus, even on his best day, he never had the stones to do that.

Despite the obvious diplomatic disadvantage we have, it turns out that we have an inadvertent ally. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia and long-time Kremlin fixture, rode to our aid.". . .

Social Media Overlords Punish Babylon Bee for Refusing to Maintain Transgender Gaslighting –

 RedState

The tweet contains a picture of Levine with a headline that read: “The Babylon Bee’s Man of the Year is Rachel Levine.”

. . ."Twitter has banished satire site Babylon Bee from its platform for posting a tweet that violates one of the precepts of wokeism. The social media company indicated it would reinstate the site’s account if it deletes the tweet. However, it appears the Bee will not be acquiescing.

"Fox News reported that Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon “has no plans” to remove the tweet that Twitter flagged. From the report:. . ."

As I wrote previously, everyone knows this is wrong – including many of the people pushing it. But it seems that in the past, people have been too afraid to speak out. This is because the far-left seeks to gaslight us into either espousing their beliefs or shutting up about it, if we disagree. Nevertheless, it seems that there is an increasing willingness to point out that the emperor has no clothes. This is the reason why Twitter has targeted Babylon Bee, which is a site that makes fun of everyone, including the right. So far, Dillon isn’t backing down. Could this be the start of a backlash against the gaslighting?

 Lara Logan goes off in epic rant on Ukraine, citing 'fake NGOs,' Vindman, Hunter Biden, Romney's son (bizpacreview.com)   

. . ."Logan continued to point out Ukraine’s history while taking a smack at retired Colonel Alexander Vindman, whom she called “moron” and said he was “obviously a spy.” She mocked his staged history endlessly and thoroughly. Then she astutely asked, “Where is counterintelligence?” and said “There’s a reason that man was escorted from the White House at the end of that theatrical trial,” referring to the impeachment of former President Donald Trump.

"She called George Soros’ Open Foundation Societies and “all these other fake NGOs that are nothing more than brown shirts and SS rolled into one” and who “were running their radical policy through the United States embassy, through USAID, using our tax dollars to slit our own throats.”

“Now they’re covering their tracks in Ukraine, not just hiding all the evidence of John Kerry’s son, Biden’s son, Nancy Pelosi’s son, Mitt Romney’s son… by the way, who is disgusting as the rest of them,” she raged.

"Logan spoke of the bio labs there, some of which were leftover from the Russians. She pointed out that the whole truth of that has not been aired either.". . .

SCOTUS Confirmation Circus Highlights Dems' Short Memories – PJ Media     . . ."The Dems are, of course, hoping for a big kumbaya moment despite their shameful behavior, especially during the last two confirmation hearings. Many on the right are clearly in the mood for some righteous anger and retaliation from the GOP. I shared my thoughts about that in another VIP column yesterday.

"Matt had a wonderful post yesterday about Ted Cruz’s opening remarks, where he delineated the bottom-feeding behavior of the Democrats in these hearings going all the way back to the ultimately unsuccessful hearings to confirm Robert Bork in 1987. Cruz went into such excruciating detail to make it clear that it’s only the Democrats who behave this way:. . ."

“It is only one side of the aisle that, with Justice Clarence Thomas, was so reprehensible that […] President George Herbert Walker Bush wrote at the time, quote, ‘what’s happening to Clarence Thomas is just plain horrible,’” Cruz continued.  “’All the groups that tried to beat him up on abortion, affirmative action have now come out of the woodwork, they’re trying to destroy a decent man.’ As Justice Thomas observed in that hearing, what happened there was, to use his words, ‘a high-tech lynching.’ And I would note the chairman who presided over that disgrace was Joe Biden.”

Cruz wasn’t finished. He brought up the Kavanaugh hearings next, calling them “one of the lowest moments in the history of this committee, where Democrats on this committee sat on allegations — didn’t refer them to the FBI, didn’t ask for investigations — hid them and then leaked them against the wishes of the complainant. And we began a circus that featured Spartacus moments, featured such nuts as Michael Avenatti.”

Venezuela apparently laughed in his face when he asked them to pump more oil. El Salvador's president tweeted about America as a nation in decline, rotting from within.". . .

‘Holy Smokes, You’re So Woke, Batman!’

 The American Spectator

How the Caped Crusader’s latest crimefighting caper is derailed by Critical Race.

"Matt Reeves’ The Batman (2022) is a beautiful disaster. Gotham is a rain-lashed living contradiction, with Times Square-sized LED billboards built into 19th century Gothic gargoyle-studded skyscrapers. The fight choreography features moves as brutal as Ben Affleck’s, or the Arkham videogame series. But beneath the superficial veneer of neo-noir lighting and the war drums of the score, is a rotten plot infested with progressive talking points. From the declining sales of DC’s comics, to the overt and covert racial politics of this newest Hollywood adaptation, the Dark Knight Detective is being damaged by the ideological obsessions of unimaginative writers.

"As a Batman aficionado, I am infuriated by the legacy media clapping like seals for The Batman’s “more diverse cast,” without buying the comics which keep the character’s legacy alive. But Zoë Kravitz’s casting as a black, bisexual, polyamorous Catwoman is as fraught with issues for progressives as it is for those who care about continuity.

"It is contemptible that the tale of tragedy turned heroism that Batman has been for over 80 years has fallen prey to the critical race theory narratives of contemporary politics.

"A great example of how the left eats its own is progressives’ complaints that Claudia Rankine’s police brutality poem Citizen focuses on black Americans and so racially excludes Latinos. The same logic goes for Kravitz’s Catwoman, whose casting erases the character’s Cuban heritage via Catwoman’s mother Maria. After she fled Castro’s communism, Maria Kyle’s refugee status was one of the reasons why Catwoman grew up impoverished and developed a talent for theft. A line by her illegitimate father alludes to this in the film: with Falcone inverting the comics’ criticism of socialist dictatorships by having the profit-driven villain joke “That’s why communism didn’t work: austerity.” In ascending the progressive stack of oppressed identities to make Catwoman black, Reeves and the rest of the film’s crew have erased a part of Catwoman’s canonical non-white heritage which was instrumental to her character.". . .
