Belarussian Dissident Presidential Candidate Resists Forcible deportation

Timothy Birdnow

This is one brave lady! She's lucky she didn't just "disappear" after that. She may yet.

A detained Belarus opposition leader prevented officials from forcibly expelling her to Ukraine by tearing up her passport and throwing it out of a car window at the border

From the BBC article:

On Monday Maria Kolesnikova was forced into a van by masked men in Minsk.
She is one of three women who joined forces to challenge President Alexander Lukashenko in August's election.
Mass protests erupted after the disputed vote.
"She was pushed into the back seat (of the car), she yelled that she wasn't going anywhere," Ms Kolesnikova's colleague Anton Rodnenkov told a news conference in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on Tuesday.
Mr Rodnenkov said he and another colleague had been kidnapped on Monday, driven between buildings, and interrogated with hoods over their heads and their hands tied.
They accepted an offer to leave Belarus with Ms Kolesnikova but when the car reached the border she refused to cross. The two men told journalists they did not know where she was now.

[....]

The three were taken to the border with Ukraine by men in plain clothes early on Tuesday morning, Mr Rodnenkov said.
But when the car reached a checkpoint between the two countries, Ms Kolesnikova prevented her deportation by ripping up her passport and throwing away the pieces, he said.
"It was clear that she was being taken by force, she was resisting," Mr Rodnenkov said.
"She climbed, climbed from the car and she walked proudly to Belarusian territory," Mr Kravtsov said, adding: "She's really a hero. You must understand that. She's very dedicated to what she's doing now."

China's Cultural Imperialism

This from Stephen Heins:

To critics, the policy bears a chilling resemblance to measures rolled out in the regions of Tibet and Xinjiang, where Mandarin has replaced ethnic minority languages as the instruction language in most schools. It also reflects a shift in the Party's policy towards more aggressive assimilation under President Xi Jinping, as evident in the harsh crackdown on the mostly Muslim Uyghur minority in Xinjiang.

How China's New Language Policy Sparked Rare Backlash in Inner Mongolia

A NOTE FROM TIM:

China now has the largest navy in the world. The Chinese are determined to not only establish themselves as the top military power on Earth and now have the tools to enforce their will but also want Asia to be their cultural vassal. They have been filtering illegal aliens into Siberia for decades now, and whole towns exist there that have no allegiance to Moscow. The Chinese will wipe out the independent culture of Tibet, as well as any other that stands in the way of their cultural hegemony in Asia.

From the CNN article:

Under the new policy, Mandarin Chinese will replace Mongolian as the medium of instruction for three subjects in elementary and middle schools for minority groups across the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, home to 4.2 million ethnic Mongolians.
Authorities have defendedthe adoption of a national standardized curriculum -- which comes with Chinese textbooks compiled and approved by policymakers in Beijing -- will improve minority students' paths to higher education and employment.
But parents fear the move will lead to a gradual demise of the Mongolian language, spelling an end for the already waning Mongolian culture.
To critics, the policy bears a chilling resemblance to measures rolled out in the regions of Tibet and Xinjiang, where Mandarin has replaced ethnic minority languages as the instruction language in most schools. It also reflects a shift in the Party's policy towards more aggressive assimilation under President Xi Jinping, as evident in the harsh crackdown on the mostly Muslim Uyghur minority in Xinjiang.

Jews "Need to Check Their Privilege"

Timothy Birdnow

This was inevitable. The Swastika is rising from it's Fatherland grave.

Top Democrat Tells Holocaust Survivors To Check Their Privilege

From the Federalist:

Democratic Whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) defended his colleague Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) by reasoning that she is higher than Jews on the pyramid of intersectionality. In an interview with The Hillon Wednesday, Clyburn trivialized Holocaust survivors when he implied that Omar’s time in a Kenyan refugee camp outweighed the experiences of Jews.

Her experience, Clyburn argued, is much more empirical — and powerful — than that of people who are generations removed from the Holocaust, Japanese internment camps during World War II and the other violent episodes that have marked history.

"I’m serious about that. There are people who tell me, ‘Well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.’ ‘My parents did this.’ It’s more personal with her,” Clyburn said. "I’ve talked to her, and I can tell you she is living through a lot of pain.”

Clyburn is the third-highest ranking Democrat in the House

End excerpt.

Jewish folks better wake up to what they are unleashing. They will be shocked when people like Omar try to put them in newer, higher tech death camps.

Self-Immolating Jihad

Warner Todd Huston:

On Sept. 11, radical Islamic terrorists wanted to stop capitalism, end Christian churches, tear down the U.S. flag, and make people hate America. They failed. But where the radical Islamists failed to affect all this "change," the Democrat Party has succeeded.

Tim replies:

Good point Warner. Why have we not been attacked in the last few years? Because the Jihadists know they don't need to bother. You get out of the way when your enemy is self-destructing.

U.S. Mail Being Dumped in CA

Timothy Birdnow

Oh yes; America is going to do just fine with the Post Office delivering mail-in ballots.

From the article:

Bags of mail were dumped in a parking lot in Glendale, California, last week, according to surveillance footage obtained by CNN.
The September 3 video shows a Budget rental vehicle backing into the lot of 7Q Spa Laser & Aesthetics. A person is seen exiting the vehicle and tossing numerous bags off the back of the truck into the lot. Minutes later, the person gets back into the vehicle and drives away -- leaving the bags of mail in the lot.

The USPS denies postal workers were involved. I guess these were just Democrats getting in a practice run.

California is burning. With all this extra fuel from dumped mail, is it any wonder?

On One of Trump's Military Critics

Timothy Birdnow

So, retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling says the officers he knew are "furious" at Trump over his allegedly calling soldiers "losers" and "suckers". Is that any surprise?

Well. Hertling is an analyst for CNN, so that should tell you where he stands politically. He also was promoted by Obama and quit in 2013, no doubt because he didn't want to serve under Trump. He trashed the idea of a military parade, for instance, when Trump proposed it. He has trashed the President in the past.

From the 2016 WaPo article:

"They won’t refuse,” Trump said during Thursday’s debate on Fox News. "They’re not going to refuse me, believe me. If I say do it, they’re going to do it. That’s what leadership is all about.”

Hertling forcefully disagreed, calling the Republican front-runner’s management style "toxic leadership.”

So saying the military follows orders is "toxic leadership"? I don't know when this schmuck attended basic training, but he really needed a refresher course.

He also says:

"Somebody needs to remind Mr. Trump that the military is not his palace guards,” Hertling said. "They take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. They also abide by the rules — not only of the uniform code of military justice, the UCMJ — but they also abide by the U.N. mandate against torture and the Geneva Convention protocols against torture.”

So it's clear this guy has an ax to grind.

He's also clearly a Progressive. This from CNN's About page:

"Hertling also commanded Initial Military Training (IMT) from 2009 to 2011. In that role, he was responsible for the initial training of approximately 160,000 officers and enlisted Soldiers entering U.S. Army training at 27 installations across the United States. Hertling led significant change in training methods, revising the Army's Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills and developed innovative training in rifle marksmanship, combatives, values instruction, first-aid, and cultural training. His introduction of the "Soldier-Athlete" initiative brought changes in Physical Readiness Training and performance nutrition."

He's one of these new age soldiers who want the military to be a social service.

So I don't believe a word out of his mouth.

Biden sympathy ploy about late son in Iraq - who was probably poisoned by open pit garbage burning

by Jack Kemp

Joe Biden was recently confronted by an Air Force veteran concerning Slow Joe's support for the Iraq War, about which the veteran said:

"I’m an Air Force veteran. I’m here with an Army veteran. We are just wondering why we should vote for someone who voted for a war and enabled a war that killed thousands of our brothers and sisters, countless Iraqi civilians?”-

In an attempt to change the subject, Biden talked of his late son Beau, who was an Army attorney who served in Iraq (he late died of cancer back in the States).

But what Biden left out, probably because he may not know this, that his son and many other Iraq and Afghanistan veterans inhaled toxic fumes from garbage burned in open pits on bases as a contractor was allowed to do this rather than be required to burn the garbage in enclosed, high heat incinerators.

This abuse of our troops, often called "the Agent Orange of our time," occurred under the Obama-Biden administration as well as the George W. Bush administration.

What proof do I have for this outrageous claim? There is the book The Burn Pits" written by former Sgt. Joseph Hickman, of Army Intelligence and currently an attorney connected with the Seton Hall University Law School.

For those of you who don't have the time to read a book, you can also see the follow up documentary film "Delay, Deny, Hope You Die" on Amazon Prime video (no cost for Prime members) which again features Joseph Hickman, as well as various doctors and an attorney fighting to help veterans who were made ill by these toxic fumes.

So once again Biden wants sympathy for the injuries his son, who was in perfect health when he first arrived in Iraq, most probably suffered as he inhaled the fumes on base from the improper open burn pits. These open pits were allowed to exist by the Obama and George W. Bush administrations.

Nice tap dance around the facts, Slow Joe. But his asking for sympathy for his own administration's neglect of our veterans' needs - as he avoided addressing a California veteran's concerns about  veterans' deaths suffered in Iraq - shows Biden had best stay locked down in his basement.

UPDATE: Some have said that Sgt. Hickman's book doesn't prove open burning is toxic, but Hickman points out the EPA wouldn't let you burn open garbage like this in any U.S. neighborhood. I'll go Hickman one further, namely if someone wants to "prove" the burn pits in Iraq weren't toxic, then we would have to overturn many EPA laws and let people burn trash and tires in their back yard. But we won't be doing that because open burning of waste is very toxic.

Attempts to Drive a Wedge Between Trump and the Military Should Rattle All Americans

Dana Mathewson

From PJMedia comes the best article I've read so far about the Left's desperate plans to steal the 2020 election. I've read a number of articles so far today; this is so frightening I may have to start Happy Hour early in order to settle my nerves!

In fact, rather than excerpt any of it, I'll give you the link and urge -- nay, BEG -- you to read the entire thing! The future of our country hinges on our managing to stand up to, and defeat, all this!

"Furious" Military?

Timothy Birdnow

I have little doubt the politically liberal generals who attended West Point (an Ivy League school) buy into this and are angry. But they wouldn't have voted Trump anyway. Probably the rank and file understand what Mr. Trump has done for them; bringing back the dead from Korea, raising military pay, promoting a military parade, taking off the handcuffs with ISIS and other enemies, rebuilding our military, etc. This has all the makings of a Hail Mary pass by the Media.

Retired lieutenant general: Military members are 'furious' with Trump over alleged comments on fallen soldiers

Retired Lt. General Mark Hertling said in a CNN interview that he has spoken with active military members as well as veterans who are "furious" after it was reported that President Trump called fallen soldiers "losers" and "suckers."

"It's tough to speak out right now if you're an active-duty serving general officer," Hertling told CNN's Don Lemon while discussing the reaction to Trump's alleged comments. "By not saying anything, they're saying a lot."

His comment comes after The Atlantic reported that Trump canceled a trip to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018 because he was worried his hair would become disheveled by the rain, and openly asked senior staff why he should go to a cemetery that is filled with "losers."

The Atlantic story also claims that Trump referred to Marines killed at the Belleau Wood during World War I as "suckers."

Herling went on to say in the Thursday interview that the military officers he has spoken with are outraged over the report.

"The military, the veterans I've talked to tonight, they are furious about this and they can't understand why people are still supporting this individual who is doing these kinds of things," he said.

Europeans Stand Up to China

Timothy Birdnow

Europe is splitting from China.

Europe Just Declared Independence from China

From the Bloomberg article:

"China’s diplomats were already having a terrible year in Europe, but this week they managed to make it even worse. At this rate, Chinese President Xi Jinping may achieve the dubious feat of alienating the Europeans faster and further than even U.S. President Donald Trump is doing. Xi’s overarching objective in the region is to prevent the European Union and the U.S. from ganging up against China. He was hoping for a breakthrough at a summit with EU leaders scheduled for Sep. 14. Originally slated to take place in Leipzig, it’ll be a video conference instead, owing to the pandemic. But the stakes are high. So Xi this past week dispatched his foreign minister, Wang Yi, to five European countries for some preparatory sweet talk. Talk there was; it just wasn’t sweet.

Wang showed up hoping to hear the softer tones to which he’s accustomed from Europeans, who remain more eager than the Americans to keep trading and doing business with China. Instead, he was surprised at the amount of resistance he was picking up underneath the formal niceties.

But those dissonances were as nothing compared with his stopover in Berlin. Speaking to German reporters, Wang lashed outat the president of the Czech Senate, Milos Vystrcil, who had taken a delegation to visit Taiwan, which China considers part of its territory. Vystrcil would "pay a heavy price,” threatened Wang, fuming that the Czech’s "betrayal” made him "an enemy of 1.4 billion Chinese people.”

This elicited a prompt response from Heiko Maas, Germany’s foreign minister. Standing next to Wang at their joint press conference, Maas reminded his visitorthat "we as Europeans act in close cooperation” and demand respect, and that "threats don’t fit in here.” The EU wouldn’t become a "plaything” in the Sino-American rivalry, he added. Colleagues from France, Slovakia and other European countries quickly backed him up.”

Looks like the Euroweenies are finally growing a spine.

Some advertising in the Days of the COVID

Dana Mathewson

I don't do this as a rule, but for the sake of a great project my wife's daughter is running, here goes. First, explanation from my wife:

Hi, Friends!
My daughter, Regina Zona, has an ongoing effort to provide some support to the very hard-hit world of artists. Her GoFundMe page and her collaborative recording efforts are outlined in her email below. It seems that there are yet even more institutions which are closed for good.

She is doing a very special Live Streaming event this Friday evening -- and it would be wonderful if you could join us in watching. She lives in the Eastern Time Zone, so I assume that the 7 PM she lists is Eastern, but I think that you can log in around the time and be able to watch the entire event. That is according to my "vast knowledge" of live streaming -- not!

Thank you so much!
Martha (Proud Mom) and Dana
(Martha plays on three of the videos and Dana plays on two)

#FriendsArtistsMusic is going LIVE!

Dear Friends,

I hope this email is finding you well and safe. I simply can't believe it is September 2nd! Where did the summer go?

I have been so humbled by the response to my collaborative project, #FriendsArtistsMusic. I have created 16 collaborative music videos with some beautiful musicians, videoed 3 interviews, and 2 video introductions - that means 21 different outfits, 6 different set designs, and countless numbers of fake eyelashes! I'm really proud of the art that we made.

AND we have raised $1800 so far! We are only $1200 away from our goal!

The fundraiser will be ending on September 15th. Only two weeks left to make our goal. And in celebration as well as a last push to reach the $3000 mark, I am planning a LIVE STREAM event on September 11th on Facebook and YouTube. I will be singing a few songs LIVE and chatting with a few of my collaborators and friends. I hope you can join us.

If you are able to donate anything, PLEASE visit the GoFundMe Page

The news continues to become more and more dire. Columbia Artists Management, one the premiere classical music representation firms, has closed it's doors for good after 80 years in business. Hundreds of artists, including major names that are the stars of the classical music world are now without representation. Rehearsal studios in New York City, that have been the backbone for Broadway and the theatre and music industry are now shuttered for good. And now there is a rule that no bars or restaurants can sell tickets or charge covers for music events for the time being which wipes out the cabaret industry as we know it.

Artists need our help. And the three organizations that I am supporting through #FriendsArtistsMusic - dell'Arte Opera Ensemble, the Artist Relief Tree, and the Hochstein Music School - are keeping the arts alive. PLEASE help if you can!

Anyone who donates $500 or more will receive a personalized video message and SONG from me!

Below are my two last collaborations. Please check them out and SHARE!
This fun little ditty was a ball to sing and I was so happy to share it with the incredibly talented, Jim Lowe.
The last song of the project says everything that I want to say about where we all are today. And I was so happy to share it with Jonathan K. Parks.

If you'd like to see all the videos and read more about the project, visit the project page on my website.

Please stay safe. Wear a mask and wash your hands! And know that I am here if you need to chat.

Much love,
Regina

Gas Lights and Covid

Timothy Birdnow

Had an interesting discussion on Facebook I thought worth reproducing. Frank Lasee was arguing we were being gaslighted, and he reposted something from another post (and I won't reproduce it here because I don't know it's origin) and one of his friends disagreed.

Bill Ulmer states:

I disagree on several points:
1. New York is where the virus really took off. The cities are crowded. They also got it under control first.
2. I don't recall people looting, assaulting others or rioting peaceful protesters. But most of the people demonstrating were peaceful.
3.Systemic racism. 45 years ago when I was on active duty in the Army we called it institutional racism. Since then I think things have gotten better, but inequalities still exist. We have to find a way forward without burning down what we already have that is good.
4.Immigration. The U.S. does admit the most immigrants. But it's wrong to call a whole group of people drug dealers and rapists, wrong to not treat asylum seekers without compassion, and terrible to separate children from parents as a policy of deterrence.
5. Communism vs. Capitalism. No one really disagrees with capitalism's ability to generate wealth. But most of the wealth is accumulating at the top while social programs are cut. Exactly opposite of what should be happening.
Sorry for the lengthy of my reply. But thank you for the thought provoking article. I hope you and others see it as a presentation of different views. Always liked our discussions Frank. Take care.

I reply:

Bill Ulmer I disagree on all points.

1. The city of New York became infected early but hardly got it first. And it is now under control primarily because they killed off all of the people who were vulnerable thanks to DeBlassio and Cuomo's policies of putting the infected into nursing homes. Naturally, if you kill off a lot of vulnerable and the healthier catch it and develop immunity you are going to have a drop in infection rates and mortality.

Also, there are more cities than New York or Chicago in the U.S. and not all of them had rates this high. The fact is, three states - all run by Democrats - are where most of the infections occurred; New York, New Jersey, Massachussetts.And why is it only now starting to hit L.A. so hard? Aren't they a huge international destination? Most American cities are run by Democrats, I might add, and they have been employing the same policies.

2.Saying "most of the people protesting were peaceful" is rather like saying "most of the coronavirus entering someone's body is not threatening." The fact is violence is ubiquitous at all of these "peaceful protests" which by definition make them NOT peaceful.

3.I agree, but find our way forward where? We would disagree on where the BLM folks want us to go, which is to a socialist state.

4.Nobody called everyone drug dealers and rapists. I assume you are talking about Mr. Trump who called drug dealers and rapists drug dealers and rapists. His point - obscured by the media - was that we are getting a lot of bad people COMING HERE ILLEGALLY.

As for that cage business, President Obama was the one who put the kids in cages, and it has been proven that the photos being bandied about came from the Obama era. Yes, children are being separated temporarily from their parents but a.it's the fault of the Democrats, who will not fix the law which allows whole families to waltz in via "catch and release" b.it's the fault of these kids parents who chose to take them on a dangerous journey to break our laws and violate our sovereignty and steal jobs and resources from America. We do not flinch when it comes to imprisoning the parents of children who committ other crimes. It is always understood that the parents are at fault. Now, however, we are told it's our problem.

5. Capitalism is Natural Law, not a theory. A nation of small businesses is not the kind of economics that accumulates wealth all at the top. That is called corporatism, and was the economic model of National Socialism. You do not understand the difference. Corporatism aka crony capitalism is the stepping stone to socialism as even the communists understood during Mussolini and Hitler's era (First Brown then Red was a slogan of theirs.) The fact is capitalism means people trading for their mutual benefit. Socialism is artificial; it forces people to work for the benefit of others. It is not productive.

Oh, and how many social programs do we need? How many do we have now? Seems to me we keep adding more and more and they accomplish less and less. Under a capitalist system people donate money because they choose to, and the distribution is more logical and fairer as a result. Charity works far better than a big government program. America is far more charitable than any other nation. Rising government programs kill off private charity, and the money they spend takes it away from those who would grow the economy. The best charity is a good job market. Meanwhile it lines the pockets of the rich and powerful.

America does have a huge wealth gap. Doesn't it occur to you that that gap has grown precisely in an era where we have increased the size and scope of government?

Anyway, that was a thoughtful reply to Frank but I just don't agree at all.

The Neige Word!

Timothy Birdnow

I remember a big stink when a guy used the word niggardly. Now this:

Cornelius Carroll

"I wrote on Thursday about USC Business School professor Greg Patton (who, among other things, is a specialist on business in China) being taken out of his business communication course, and being replaced by a different professor. Prof. Patton's offense: In a discussion of "filler words," such as "um" and "er," he gave the Mandarin "neige" (literally, "that") as a foreign example—and he pronounced the word, as do many other Mandarin speakers, similarly to "nigger." The word is apparently indeed used, routinely, as a filler word in Mandarin.”

If Employers Believe that Hearing the Mandarin Word "Neige" (Meaning That) "Affects" Black Students "Mental Health"

Anyone remember the David Howard affair? Howard was an aid to D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams and was fired for using the word "niggardly" in comments. This may be even more onerous as it uses a CHINESE word that isn't even that close. What's next? Canning someone for mentioning the African nation Niger? Talking about a guy carving out a nice niche for himself? Anybody saying their name is Nigel? This is surreal.

BTW the word Niggardly comes from a completely different root than the racial epithet.

The word Niggardly comes from Middle English Nygard meaning Miser. It probably came from Old Norse hnǫggr. The racist term is a derivation of the word Negro, which itself means black or dark. It came from Spanish and Portuguese. These are completely different words.

But this is even worse; Chinese has zero connection to any European language and nothing whatsoever to do with race.

Lies My Climate Alarmist Told Me

Timothy Birdnow

Here is a good article by Vijay Jayaraj at World Net Daily about the lies of the climate mongers. While I don't usually link to WND, which I consider a tabloid, this is worth reading. Vijay Jayaraj is a prolific climate blogger and someone not to be taken lightly.

From the article:

In fact, climate activists exaggerate weather events (short-term and local) as climate events (long-term and global to regional) and misrepresent regular incidents as unprecedented ones.

Last month, I came across a retweet by Greta Thunberg, a globally recognized climate activist. She retweeteda tweet showing recent flooding in India. The tweet was preceded and followed by a series of tweets that highlighted allegedly climate-driven natural disasters in an attempt to drive home the need for climate action.

It was surprising for me to learn that Greta and others portrayed the regular summer rainfall downpour in India as something unprecedented and use it as an arsenal to promote their climate doomsday narrative.

India is in the midst of its summer rainfall season. Also known as the monsoon, these rains are the lifeline for India's 1.3 billion people. They are a boon, not a disaster as Greta and other activists claim.

[...]

There have been no significant changes in rainfall pattern, according to scientists at the Indian Meteorological Department. To claim otherwise reveals ignorance of the real climate in the region.

Read the entire article; it's well worth your time.

The Democrats Plan to Steal America

Timothy Birdnow

Conservative HQ delineates a possible scenario where Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats steal the upcoming election.

Read it here.

As we have explained in several columns the Democrats do not plan to win the 2020 election. Instead they plan a coup, for which the Republicans and perhaps the Trump campaign appear to be totally unprepared.

The reason for this apparent lack of preparedness is that the GOP and the Trump campaign assume they are facing the conventional Election Day threats of being inundated with mail-in ballots, garden variety vote fraud, such as individuals casting multiple in-person ballots, and the chaos attendant to conducting an election in the midst of media-generated pandemic hysteria.

All those things will happen, but they are not what will determine the outcome of the election in the Democrats’ favor. To get rid of President Trump and to seize power permanently Democrats will rely on the principles of unconventional warfare.

Here’s how it will work:

Go to CHQ to see just how it will work.

Stoking Fear and Hatred

Timothy Birdnow

This from Elliott Davis at Fox 2 News St. Louis:

On this day in history Sept 6
The People’s History
6 Sept, 1921 - U.S.A. Ku Klux Klan
1921 : Members of the Police in Connecticut are investigating the Klu Klux Klan who are recruiting members by proposing "Preserve The Ideals of A Pure Anglo Saxon Civilization." To join the Klan new members must donate $10.00. It is believed the Klan is growing quickly and the police department is concerned over racial attacks when it reaches full strength.

I reply:

First, how many Klansmen are there today? Virtually none. I don't know about this "police think it is growing" as there are NO statistic provided by anyone. So who says it is growing? Those who seek to divide and dominate, that's who. And IF it is growing why? Could it be because black racists and terrorist white BLM types are using violence on white people? I do not condone the Klan in any way whatsoever, and the world will be a much better place when those scumbags are gone, but the reality is they prettty much are except in the minds of those who need a bogeyman to gin up support for an ideology and a political party.

Trump Uproots Critical Race Theory in Government

Timothy Birdnow

Two questions: why was this there in the first place and what took the Trump Administration so long?

Trump orders halt to all Critical Race Theory training in federal agencies: "This is a sickness"

From the article:

Full text of Vought's letter:

* * *

It has come to the President's attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date "training" government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda.

For example, according to press reports, employees across the Executive Branch have been required to attend trainings where they are told that "virtually all White people contribute to racism" or where they are required to say that they "benefit from racism." According to press reports, in some cases these training have further claimed that there is racism embedded in the belief that America is the land of opportunity or the belief that the most qualified person should receive a job.

These types of "trainings" not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce. We can be proud that as an employer, the Federal government has employees of all races, ethnicities, and religions. We can be proud that Americans from all over the country seek to join our workforce and dedicate themselves to public service. We can be proud of our continued efforts to welcome all individuals who seek to serve their fellow Americans as Federal employees. However, we cannot accept our employees receiving training that seeks to undercut our core values as Americans and drive division within our workforce.

The President has directed me to ensure that Federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions. Accordingly, to that end, the Office of Management and Budget will shortly issue more detailed guidance on implementing the President's directive. In the meantime, all agencies are directed to begin to identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on "critical race theory/"white privilege," or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil. In addition, all agencies should begin to identify all available avenues within the law to cancel any such contracts and/or to divert Federal dollars away from these un-American propaganda training sessions.

The President, and his Administration, are fully committed to the fair and equal treatment of all individuals in the United States. The President has a proven track record of standing for those whose voice has long been ignored and who have failed to benefit from all our country has to offer, and he intends to continue to support all Americans, regardless of race, religion, or creed. The divisive, false, and demeaning propaganda of the critical race theory movement is contrary to all we stand for as Americans and should have no place in the Federal government.

This is an example of how personnel is policy AND of how Trump fails in not being properly ideological. Trump should have been on this immediately. He wasn't because he is about nuts and bolts and ignores ideology. But ideology is the root of the problems in Washington; the Left has marched through every institution there and imposed their revolutionary ideas. You cannot fix any problem in America without first uprooting the poisonous weed that has grown in our midst.

And this President looks at resume's first and not at what people believe. It's why he's had so many terrible appointees.

I do think he's learning though. It's too bad it's taken him four years to finally figure this stuff out.

Fox Joins with the Atlantic

Timothy Birdnow

Jennifer Griffin at Fox News is trying to corroborate the Atlantic story claiming Trump badmouthed the military.

From the article:

"Mark Levin added: It’s not clear to me what sources they’re talking about here. Two of the four anonymous sources used by the Atlantic confirm to Fox what they told the Atlantic? If so, that’s meaningless. But they remain anonymous, which means we the public cannot scrutinize these sources. And the press exists for us, not the press itself. It is we the article seeks to influence. Moreover, the numerous people on the record who deny what the anonymous sources reportedly said are unimpeachable and, even more, are willing to be scrutinized. No need to circle the wagons, either. That doesn’t get the public the facts to draw their own conclusions.”

Absolutely correct.

And why would we believe Fox anyway? James Murdoch, who's pretty much running the show for his father these days and wants to be in good graces with the Ruling Class, donated over a million dollars to the Biden campaign.

And Griffin has always had it in for President Trump. See here, and here .

Griffin was one of the women who accused Roger Ailes of sexual harassment, I might add.

And she spoke with FORMER Administration officials. Gee, I wonder who? McChrystal maybe? Did it never occur to her that perhaps speaking with disgruntled ex-Administration members might produce a false positive?

If this happened there is no reason why these guys can't go on record. That they remain "anonymous sources" speaks volumes.

I don't believe anything this succubus has to say.

And this supposedly happened in 2018; why is it only coming to light now, just two months before the election?
