Complete Lack of Moral Clarity

Hand in Hand

A week ago…'OPERATION HAS COMMENCED': NYPD enters Columbia campus to move against anti-Israel agitators. In response...

Biden issues $6B in new student loan handouts ahead of 2024 election.

As everyone with a grade school education knows, people behave to satisfy needs.  In other words, behavior imitates that which is rewarded.

President Biden on Monday weighed in on the pro-Palestine demonstrations taking place at elite university campuses. 

"I condemn the antisemitic protests," Mr. Biden told reporters after an Earth Day Event in Northern Virginia Monday. "That's why I've set up a program to deal with that. I also condemn those who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians." A reporter cut off the president's sentence before he could finish. 

Biden has made several more feeble attempts to act Presidential, but never once has he openly, unabashedly condemned the fact that:

• The Israeli attack of October 7 was the heinous work of murdering Terrorists.

• The Palestinian people elected those same terrorists.

• The Israelis have every right in the world to defend themselves as even now Hamas lobs rockets at humanitarian attempts.

• Instead he threatens Netanyahu with denying assistance and weapons.

Amazing.  The guy won’t even stand up and without mitigation declare this is Bullshit and move to take back our campuses.

Can you imagine if the Proud Boys were taking over campuses instead of Israeli haters?

Update:  Law Enforcement and, in some cases, the Military have now intervened on Columbia, NYU, UNC, UCLA, UF and lord knows how many other institutions of higher learning.  Meanwhile, we’re back to remote learning and we all know how that turned out.  Bet the parents who shell out $20,30,40,000 a year are delighted to be back on lockdown. 

As I said, we all know how that turned out.

Remember these protests are not about Civil Rights, Foreign Wars, these are about supporting TERRORISTS and terrorizing a trusted Ally.

Quiz

If you are like moi, you fight a never-winning battle with weight gain.  If so, you have an edge in this quiz.

If you gained 10 lbs. of weight three years ago, then 8 pounds two years ago, then 6 pounds last year and 3.5 pounds so far this year, how much overweight are you?  3.5 lbs?  Or 27.5 lbs?  I can’t tell you, it ain’t choice #1.  Inflation works much the same way.

Tell Me This Makes Sense

Transgender track runner wins 2 women's events in which race times would've been last place among men.  Yup, really happened in Division III championships.  No idea how the parents put up with this.  If a dude looks at a girl sideways, he goes to jail; but, if they pollute all of female athletics, it’s okay.

Any chance we’re waking up?

For the sixth year in a row, the National Education Association (NEA) faces a mass exodus of members. But the blame doesn’t lie with a shrinking student population or loss of funding, as NEA president Becky Pringle would have you believe. The NEA’s blatant prioritization of a radical political agenda at the expense of member representation is the true culprit, resulting in a loss of more than 12,000 members in 2023, per the union’s latest financial report. 

Union membership rates have been on the downturn for decades. Unluckily for Big Labor, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Janus v. AFSCME (2018), which firmly recognized the First Amendment right of public employees to leave union membership behind, accelerated this downward trend.

Nah.

Might Want to Rethink Halls of Ivy

U.S. — Forbes has released its newest list of "Most Desirable Employee Candidates", which saw Ivy League graduates slip down just below carnies and the people who wash car windows at stoplights.

"We surveyed the top 500 companies in the United States," explained lead author Dan Rollins. "Employers consistently stated they would pass over a Harvard or Columbia grad for a guy with two years of experience operating a Tilt-A-Whirl. It's been quite a shift."

According to Rollins, most CEOs stated they wouldn't even bother interviewing an Ivy League grad if they had the option to hire a four-year carnie with balloon dart experience. "The carnies are so much better at conversing with people from every walk of life. They aren't stuck in that Ivy League bubble," explained business owner Larry Fink. "Also, they don't attempt to burn down your corporate office because the break room coffee machine was made in Israel. Advantage, carnie."

Carnies received higher marks than Ivy League grads in work ethic, interpersonal communication, and not attempting to destroy people and institutions with racist neo-Marxist ideology. "The only real downside to hiring carnies instead of Columbia grads is we had to go back to allowing smoke breaks," said Fink. "Otherwise, it's been a massive upgrade. No stating pronouns, no trigger warnings, no boycotts... and they actually know how to work. I'll take that along with some Marlboro Reds any day."

At publishing time, Forbes had updated the list again as Ivy League graduates fell below guys who drive poorly marked ice-cream trucks around family neighborhoods.

The Nerve

Biden threatens to withhold weapons if Netanyahu goes forward with Rafah invasion

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah... I’m not supplying the weapons”.  Biden told CNN.  Who does he think he is?  WTF.

Every fool knows, at a minimum, you threaten allies privately.  Clearly this is another attempt to pander to Progressives.

Ironically Biden is denying precision munitions which you need to minimize potential for killing civilians.  For the record, Rafa is 1/3 the size of DC.

In case you can’t stomach Biden or Trump…

RFK Jr’s doctors have reported that part of his brain was eaten away several years ago by a parasite.  No biggie.  Partial brain is more than enough to win Presidency.

Not sure this has been vetted…

Reports have it 12 women have come forth and claimed to have been sexually assaulted by Trump’s VP pick whoever it is.

New Slogan?

Back in the summer of 2015 when DJT announced, shortly after I listened to Family & Friends berate him and completely dismiss his candidacy, I coined the slogan, “Policy Trumps Personality”.  Even had bumper stickers made, which no one wanted.

Time for a new slogan.  How about…

“Order Trumps Chaos”

Seems to me there are a half dozen or more scenarios to which that applies.  Border, Foreign Policy, Campus Riots, etc.

Just finished Malcolm Baldrige’s (Outliers) book, I Hate the Ivy League. Wait until you hear how US News & World’s Report’s esteemed College Rankings are determined.
