The Truth About Legacies

 Ann Coulter

"After an initial burst of indignation at the Supreme Court for taking on the unpleasant task of informing college admissions offices that race discrimination is unconstitutional, the media's main focus quickly shifted to their favorite topic: blaming white men.

"True, it was going to be difficult to turn a case finally ending 50 years of discrimination against whites into a story about how whites are oppressing blacks, but you don't know our media. The fact that the plaintiffs in this case were Asian didn't even slow them down.

"Within hours, everybody was talking about "legacies." The children of alumni are apparently the ne plus ultra of whiteness. The New York Times called them "white, wealthy and well-connected." And that's how "legacy" entered the vocabulary as an epithet for white men, joining "frat boys," "rich," "privileged," "Chads" and "lacrosse players."

"Unfortunately, much like #BlackLivesMatter, this latest orgy of hatred for whites is going to end up hurting black people the most.

"We have been assured that preferences for the children of alumni are exactly like racial preferences for blacks and Hispanics -- except given to whites. Thus, Kenny Xu, one of the plaintiffs in the affirmative action case, sneered that preferences for legacies "disproportionately privilege white applicants." (These aren't your allies, white people.)

"Then, days after the decision was announced, race activists filed a complaint against Harvard for giving preference to the children of alumni, saying that legacy admissions have "nothing to do with an applicant's merit" and were "an unfair and unearned benefit.' " . . .

"White House" has a whole new meaning now

 "If they had found a bag of cocaine at the White House while Trump was president it would be ALL we'd hear about 24/7 with lots and lots of speculation about which Trump had left their coke in the library. And you know if his Press Secretary had refused to talk about it the media would have lost their freakin' MINDS."

Eight reasons to believe a coverup is underway on the cocaine found in the White House - Thomas Lifson   "The discovery of a stash of cocaine in the White House became public because a hazmat team was sent in on the possibility that the white powdery substance might have been anthrax or some other deadly terror weapon. Were it not for the hazmat team’s highly visible and noteworthy arrival, I believe it is quite possible that the matter would have been handled with the discretion for which the Secret Service is famous (and notorious), protecting the privacy of the First Family.

"Now that we know about it, there are multiple signs that a coverup is underway to protect someone whom the Secret Service guards.

"One: the “evolving” location in which the coke was found" . . .

. . ."Four: Visitors to the working areas of the White House are heavily screened for security  

The scenario of an anthrax or other bioweapon or terror device being smuggled in is why rigorous screening is enforced. The immediate dispatch of a hazmat team confirms that this is taken extremely seriously. Bringing in any quantity of an illegal substance that physically resembles deadly powders is highly likely to result in arrest and prosecution.

Five: Members of the First Family are exempt from this rigorous security screening

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino makes this point:

There’s absolutely ZERO chance anyone other than a family member brought that cocaine inside the White House complex. No chance that would make it past the mag/security checkpoints. Family bypasses those.

British combat medic resigns after being threatened for post defending women from trans ideology

  LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

Wright now works at King’s Mill Hospital in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, and is currently weighing possible legal action with the help of the Free Speech Union.

'I've just had this thing hanging over me, this terrible slur on my honour.'

"A 14-year Army veteran and combat medic was pressured to leave the British military for sharing a Facebook post about the implications of transgender ideology on women’s rights.

"Reservist Colonel Dr. Kelvin Wright, who served with distinction under harrowing conditions in Afghanistan, found himself subjected to disciplinary action for sharing a quote from feminist Helen Joyce on social media that said, “If women cannot stand in a public place and say ‘Men cannot be women’, then we do not have women’s rights at all.” The post had been created by the group Fair Play for Women, which opposes the ramifications that treating biological males as women can have for the interests of actual women.

"As a result, the Daily Mail reported, he first received a critical text message from one of his junior officers, then a phone call from a superior telling him, in Wright’s paraphrasing, “you’ve upset a lot of people, you’re in a lot of trouble, we’re going to have to investigate you.”

"A group of LGBT activists within the Army had sent Wright’s superiors a seven-page letter, which Wright was not allowed to see, claiming that his “anti-trans views” rendered him unfit to serve. The report added that among the complaints was that Wright’s Facebook profile picture depicted him in uniform without a disclaimer that his personal views did not speak for the army but says such a “minor transgression” would “usually be dealt with quickly, with a warning and advice on future conduct.”

“ 'The Army is afraid of the backlash if they do the obvious thing and find me not guilty,” Wright said. “But neither can they declare me guilty and recommend a sanction because that would be ridiculous. They’re just doing nothing, unwilling to commit themselves. I’ve just had this thing hanging over me, this terrible slur on my honour.” . . .

Inconvenient Truth: 32 Climate Predictions Proven False

 Facts Matter - YouTube

Comment to this video: I'm 57, I still remember being told as a teenager that there was a "New Ice Age" coming, then in the 90s it became "Global Warming" and now it's "Climate Change".

Comments to the above video: "I'm 58 years old and I remember all through elementary school teachers scaring us with these ridiculous predictions. My parents would always assure me the world would be just fine. As I got older, it all became laughable and still is to this day. As always, your reporting is spot on."

"Gotta love how all of these predictions turned out to be false, but all the articles are written like they are without a doubt 100% true and facts. The cherry on top is them deleting the articles when they turn out to be false, they should be held accountable for spreading all this misinformation.

"When I was younger, I was all in on "saving the environment" and all that jazz, until I got into my teen years and started to realize that every new environmental crisis had the exact same 20 year deadline, and then when I got into my actual 20s and realized that the predictions from when I was a kid that were supposed to have happened didn't come to pass, I paid a lot more attention and saw how they keep moving the goalposts, I lost all faith in them. See, the thing is, moving the goalposts 20 years ahead is a perfect number for their doomsday predictions as it's just soon enough that most people alive now will still be alive to see it, but it's far enough out that they can claim "changes made that they started" were responsible for their predictions not coming true."....

"This video ought to be shown to every child. Thanks for sharing this. To the point here I'll keep it short. My grandfather was a professor or meteorology at a largeish university. Around the year 2000 he was asked to speak at a climate conference. He started his speech with this statement. "Global warming is the biggest farce ever pulled on mankind". Those were the only words from his speech he managed to get out. He was promptly removed from the podium and asked to leave the conference. This whole charade is about power and control. The actual science is ignored or the data is twisted to further the agenda. And that is truly all it is. An agenda..." More at this site.

Fighting for survival in the belly of the beast -

  American Thinker   "Did you ever feel that the two major political parties are involved in a personal vendetta, similar to turf wars between organized crime syndicates?  Republicans and Democrats seem to be fighting their own private wars, mostly to gain political points for each party, while the masses of people they supposedly represent are merely insignificant pawns in a power-hungry chess game between omnipotent oligarchs.  Keep in mind that those elected officials almost never disagree with the party-line policies they embraced when running for office.  That's because they want support when it comes time for their reelection.  Therefore, even if Congressman A has changed his mind on a policy being promoted by his party, he is reluctant to oppose it, even if it may be detrimental to the country.

"That's how political parties keep their members in line.  You're one of them until your opinion changes on an issue they advocate.  What does that do to the independent-minded leader who used to reason things out and make his own decisions?  He either falls in line or suddenly sees his future in politics ebbing.  Maybe he thinks it's morally perverse to allow transgender drag shows for children.  However, if his party has the strong backing of radicals who are in favor of such an abomination, does he go against his deeply held convictions by agreeing with them?

"Is an influential position so important that it will change a good man into an evil one?  Such moral dilemmas are integrity tests that we face as a nation.  If a leader from an opposing party submits an idea that would benefit most Americans, should it be rejected on the grounds that your party didn't come up with it first?  There was a time when bipartisan agreement could be reached on some of the important issues up for debate.  Not anymore!  This is especially true if it's an issue supported by former president Donald Trump.  Whether you're a fan of Trump or not, if you're honest, you must agree that he had many important accomplishments during his first term." . . .

To negate the Constitution it takes more than honor or Biden's IQ

 

Biden on Student Debt Decision: "The Court Misinterpreted The Constitution" | Video | RealClearPolitics   "Mr. President, why did you give millions of borrowers false hope?" Heinrich asked. "You doubted your own authority here in the past."

"I didn't give any false hope," Biden answered. "The question was whether or not I would do even more than what was requested. What I did I thought was appropriate and was able to be done and would get done. I didn't give borrowers false hope. But the Republicans snatched away the hope that they were given, and it's real. Real hope."

" 'Did you overstep your authority?" Heinrich followed up.

" ,I think the court misinterpreted the constitution," Biden replied." . . .

Comments to the post:

• Just because you didn't get your way doesn't mean they misinterpreted it, it means YOU tried to do something that was unconstitutional and you got caught.
• 
  
• What part of the U.S. Constitution exactly did the Supreme Court misinterpret? Where is the language that they misunderstood? Mr. President, this is a time for serious people, and you and the clown car you're driving does not contain serious people.
• 
  
• "When it comes to interpreting the Constitution, who are you going to trust, a mediocre-at-best student who graduated in the bottom quarter of his law class, never practiced law, and was a career politician, or the justices of the SCOTUS?"

Biden was hurting his reputation for little possible gain.

 Biden makes unfounded claim: People are ‘thrown out of a restaurant for being gay’ (msn.com)   "The recent passage of The Respect for Marriage Act, celebrated by the Biden administration, has led to a flurry of public discourse and criticism. President Biden, in his speech, made an implication that caused a stir on social media.

"Bipartisan support led to the passing of The Respect for Marriage Act through the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Biden’s remark gets immediate ‘pushback’ on Twitter  "During the commemorative event, Biden remarked, “When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, this is still wrong.”

"His statement was met with immediate pushback on Twitter, as users questioned the accuracy of his comments, arguing that discrimination against gay people in restaurants is not a prevalent issue." . . .

Discrimination shifts towards Christians, unvaccinated  "Jesse Kelly presented an alternative view, suggesting that it’s not gay individuals who face discrimination but Christians and the unvaccinated." . . .

Surprisingly CNN fact-checks Joe, but still wedges in a short but scathing attack on President Trump:

"Fact check: A look at Biden's first year in false claims | CNN Politics   "When President Joe Biden passingly said in a voting rights speech last week that he had been “arrested” in the context of the civil rights movement – even suggesting this had happened more than once – it was a classic Biden false claim: an anecdote about his past for which there is no evidence, prompted by a decision to ad-lib rather than stick to a prepared text, resulting in easily avoidable questions about his honesty.

"Biden’s imaginary or embellished stories about his own history were the most memorable falsehoods of his first year in office. They were not, however, the only ones.

"The President also made multiple false claims about important policy matters, notably including three subjects that occupied much of his time: the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, the economy and the Covid-19 pandemic.

"And Biden was incorrect on numerous occasions when ad-libbing about a wide assortment of facts and figures – sometimes in a way that appeared inadvertent, but other times in a way that helped him make a political point." . . .

THIS...is CNN!

Judge orders Biden to stop censoring Real Americans -

What do you expect? The deep state installed the father of a cokehead into the Oval Office, replacing a Real Man who never used drugs, never smoked cigarettes and sure as hell never sniffed little girls or showered with his daughters. 

Tony Branco

 Don Surber   "Shreveport, Louisiana, had the most explosive fireworks on Independence Day when Judge Terry A. Doughty blew up the federal government’s censorship of conservatives on social media. Trump appointed him in 2018 and Doughty is now the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, based in Shreveport.

"The attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri sued to stop federal agents from coercing social media to censor conservatives or anyone else who dared criticize our government. The deep state cited an extra-constitutional power to fight misinformation and disinformation but the biggest spreaders of lies are the FBI, CIA and the rest of the federal government.

"Covid was not a pandemic.

"The vaccine was not a vaccine.

"Hunter’s laptop was not a Russian hoax.

"Because the feds got social media outlets to serve as surrogate censors, Judge Doughty issued an injunction forbidding the feds from talking to the people who run social media. He did so on the Fourth of July because fighting the evil of government censorship is embedded in the birth of a free America." . . .

Biden Uses State Of The Union Speech To Promote Race War. The decline of America

This will all be amplified and spread by the likes of the Obamas, Joy Reid, and her MSNBC demagogs, many Al  Sharptons, Maxine Waters, and any number of academics. Will any Democrats stand against this racial hate? TD

"Joe Biden invited as guests to his State of the Union speech four parents of black men who were allegedly wrongly killed by police. His goal, of course, was to promote the Defund The Police Movement using the false narrative that police chase down and murder innocent black men merely because they are black.

"In his demented state Biden may not be aware that he is spreading a lie; but, his handlers surely are. These racist liars know full well that the OPPOSITE is true. As a percentage of police encounters, blacks are LESS likely to be harmed by police than any other racial group.

"A president's words are important.  Americans hang onto every word, hoping to understand his mindset, to get a clue about his plans, to figure out the direction he is taking the country.  By his words, a president intentionally or unwittingly sends us signals. Tuesday night Joe Biden told every American that police across the nation are corrupt. At a time when crime has never been worse, Biden told us that we need fewer policemen to protect us." . . .

"Michael Brown, Sr. managed to raise a feral son, Michael Brown, Jr., who attacked a lone police officer and tried to take his service revolver. During the assault, justifiably fearing for his life, the officer shot & killed Brown. THREE civil rights investigations cleared the police officer of any wrongdoing. Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder, himself a black man, tried with all his might to indict the officer. He couldn’t.

"By the time Brown assaulted the officer (August 2014), Obama had been in office for over five years. He had spent those five years demonizing police, intentionally exacerbating racial tensions. Brown did NOT have his hands up while he was trying to take the officer’s gun, yet race baiters are still repeating this lie. " . . .  

"Former President Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. just can’t help himself.  Stick a mic in front of him, and he starts race-baiting.  Speaking at a conference* in San Diego last week Obama claimed those who want to close the southern border are motivated by racism.  He went on to gaslight the audience with the standard Democrat lies.  During his tenure in the White House he used lies about police to inspire and assist Marxists in creating the terrorist group, Black Lives Matter, Inc. 

"A president's words are important.  Americans hang onto every word, hoping to understand his mindset, to get a clue about his plans, to figure out the direction he is taking the country.  By his words, a president intentionally or unwittingly sends us signals.

"Throughout his eight years in office President Obama sent out signals implying or stating police all over the country were singling out black men to kill, JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE BLACK.  This was intentional because 1) he did it repeatedly and 2) he was smart** enough to know how his words were being interpreted in both the black community and the blue community.  With a wink and a nod, Obama was giving irrational Liberals their marching orders: go riot in the streets.  Americans have been suffering under his false narrative ever since.

White House Cocaine: Left-Wingers Float Insane Theory in Response

"Of course, “cocaine hydrochloride” does not exist in powdered form as an anesthetic, and no medical version of the drug comes in a bag. In other words, what was actually found here is just run-of-the-mill cocaine." Townhall

In an American first, cocaine was found in the White House -Andrea Widburg   . . ."Alternatively, we’ve just learned that the whole narrative about Hunter Biden being clean and sober is a complete lie. Biden’s corrupt, debauched son could be back to his old ways. Aside from being distasteful, having a cocaine user in the first family is dangerous. The risks of blackmail or leaked information increase exponentially.

"If the cocaine is Hunter’s, that matters. Given that the FBI knew all along that the hard drive was real and that the insights it gave us into Hunter’s sexual and drug debauchery were real, too, the American people should be furiously angry that, because of Deep State fraud, they were prevented from keeping a drug addict out of the White House.". . .

Story of Cocaine at the White House Takes a Sudden Turn, Left-Wingers Float Insane Theory in Response – RedState    . . ."The messaging strategy was obvious.

"Now, we know where it was found. According to The Washington Post and others, the baggie was located in the White House Library.". . .

One of the first reactions I saw to that news was that the White House Library is part of the public tours that take place multiple days a week. Surely, that means some random tourist left their baggie of cocaine laying around after somehow getting it past Secret Service. A quick look at the tour website, though, shows that theory doesn’t really wash.

Grading Joe Biden and the Democrat press

 Joe Biden Is Not Senile — He’s Stupid - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

Now people chalk up to age what we all knew way back was IQ.

Joe Biden, like Forrest Gump, is not a smart man. His latest Ron Burgundy moment comes as Exhibit 1,322b.On Monday, he quoted a woman calling high-speed internet “the best thing that has happened to rural America since the Rural Electrification Act brought electricity to farms in the 30s and 40s.” When he finished reading that off a teleprompter, he read the words: “End of quote.”

"When you lead the No. 1 news team in San Diego, this sort of thing can lead to job loss, beard growth, alcoholism, depression, and drinking milk from the carton on a hot day. But Joe Biden merely serves as president of the United States. And Monday’s teleprompter snafu does not come as the first, anyhow. Must one repeat the line about “repeat the line”?

"From dressing protectors as the Easter Bunny to screening “journalist” questions in advance, there seems no easy solution. Certainly going off teleprompter without a safety net strikes his on-edge handlers as no solution at all.

"Earlier this month, for instance, the president startled League of Conservation Voters by announcing, “We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean.” . . .

Was Last Week the Beginning of the End for Biden? - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics    "Something changed last week inside the Beltway that suggests the people who run the Democratic Party now realize President Biden’s tenure in office is not sustainable beyond 2024. The “tell” was not, however, the latest revelation by IRS whistleblowers about his corrupt administration. It was instead the sudden awakening of the White House press corps. The same “reporters” who snored through more than two years of preposterous claims by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her predecessor simultaneously woke up Friday."

Sadly, neither the credibility of the IRS whistleblowers nor the widespread suspicions of ordinary voters would normally be enough to motivate the corporate media to cover the latest Biden scandal, much less ask genuine questions during a White House press briefing. Only a signal from Democratic Party heavyweights that the President’s days in office are numbered could have been enough to awake the Fourth Estate from its long slumber. 

Joe Rogan Roasts Dylan Mulvaney's Response to the Bud Light Controversy

This isn’t about some genuine care for transgenderism. It’s about making sure a company’s ESG score remains high enough to garner future capital. 

 RedState  "Bud Light continues to suffer the consequences of dipping its toe into the culture wars. The beer giant has lost billions of dollars in potential sales in the months following its partnership with controversial transgender “influencer” Dylan Mulvaney." . . .

. . ."Joe Rogan once again took a shot at Dylan Mulvaney, calling the trans influencer “mentally ill” and an “attention whore” after the social media star broke [his] silence about the Bud Light boycott.

"Rogan made the comment during Thursday’s episode of the Spotify podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which featured an interview with rapper-actor Ice Cube.

"The two-and-a-half-hour conversation between Rogan and Ice Cube eventually touched on the Bud Light controversy.

“The only time [capital] respects opinions is when people boycott s–t and it works like this Bud Light thing, and now people are like, ‘Don’t do that again,’” Rogan said, alluding to the steep drop in sales of the brand since Mulvaney started touting the beer on [his] social media accounts on April 1.

. . ."Why do outlets that garner clicks and make money off publishing stories pointing out the absurdity of transgenderism then give up its premise? Fox News also does this, and it’s insulting to one’s readers. Mulvaney is not a “she.” He is a man, and even if one supports transgenderism as a form of personal freedom, the reality of the situation remains.". . .
