Higher Education Is Failing

TFP , , ,

This is not news with the left-wing indoctrination, the soaring costs, the pay-to-play scams. I have written about it many times before. College is too expensive, often does not educate, and does a poor job matching students with what employers need. It is propped up by a corrupt government-run loan system which only achieves in inflating costs. College in general is a shadow of what it was 20-30 years ago.

The only hard thing about so-called “elite” universities is getting in. Once there many students are coddled, not worked and given inflated grades. After all, who wants to flunk out paying customers? “Social justice warriors run-amok on many campuses.

A distinguished professor has taken this on in a new book:

Harvard Bows To SJW’s and Embarrasses Itself

TFP , , , ,

A few pants-wetting social justice warriors in a dorm at Harvard got the Dean of the dorm (a very distinguished law professor) and his wife removed because, wait for it, he is DARING to defend Harvey Weinstein! That makes them feel “unsafe”. Now, the position is largely ceremonial and advisory; he still keeps his position in the law school. But the emboldened thumb-sucking SJW’s will no doubt try to oust him entirely at some point. Noted honest liberal legal expert Alan Dershowitz and many others are excoriating Harvard for this decision, justifiably so.

Climate Change Disrupted South American Peoples….8000 Years Ago!

TFP , , ,

About 8000 before the combustion engine and wide-spread population growth, thus proving that the climate will always change and there is nothing we can do about it.

“Beginning around 8,000 years ago, precipitation levels in South America, particularly in the tropics, became unreliable. Pre-Columbian populations suffered as a result. Archaeologists unearthed evidence that improved agricultural practices allowed populations to adapt beginning around 6,000 years ago.”

There is simply no evidence that mankind is changing the long-term climate of the Earth. At the same time left-wing screechers in the media have been out in force over some bogus UN report.

Last Week’s School Shooters Were a Transgender and a Boy Who Hates Trump and Christians

TFP , , ,

Now, is this really newsworthy? No, unless you consider the transgender/mental illness angle. But it is relevant culturally. The dishonest far-left media largely blacked-out these facts. All they talked about was gun control. Imagine for a second if the shooters had been MAGA-hat wearing haters of Democrats and Muslims. Far-left media (CNN, NYT, NBC) would be running that headline 24/7.

CO shooters are a transgender & a boy who hates Trump & Christians

 

Just When You Thought The Country and Professional Sports Couldn’t Get Any Dumber…

TFP , , ,

A large number of powerful people in America are pants-wetting sissies! The Chicago Cubs have banned a fan for life…FOR LIFE! for allegedly flashing a “racist” hand-signal to the television. Now, here is the problem: the hand-signal in question is an upside-down OK, which given the position of his hand is much easier to make than the upright version. So it is POSSIBLE he was just flashing “OK”. It is also part of the popular “punch me” game – look it up. Even if he was not doing this, the whole idea that the hand sign in question is “racist” (I know, everything is RACIST!) started as an internet prank to point out the absurdity of how left-wing media jumps to conclusions on, wait for it, racism. Of course, the ensuing outrage was spread by social media, which increasingly has ZERO redeeming value.

The Chicago Cubs Are Run By Hypocritical Idiots

The conclusion here is that far-left media which largely controls national discourse and major sports franchises are to stupid, too PC and to sissified to understand that at worst they were trolled by someone. Thank God people like Theo Epstein (he was “shaken by the whole episode) did not have to storm the beaches at Normandy and Okinawa, or the Thousand year Reich would be into it’s 8th decade and we’d all be paying homage to the Emperor. Good Lord, this country is in trouble!

 

Leftists Contravene Law Whenever It Suits

TFP , , , ,

This happens at all levels all the time, but especially in DC agencies. Leftists generally have decided that they are above the law. The latest case involves a Massachusetts judge who does not like immigration law, so she let a criminal illegal walk from her court through the back door. That’s called legislating from the bench. She is now facing obstruction of justice.

Massachusetts Judge Discovers Letting Illegal Aliens Flee Her Courtroom Isn’t a Game

This is REAL obstruction. Accusing Trump of the same is laughable by comparison. I repeat: that which the far-left radicals accuse others of, they are themselves guilty of. It detracts from the attention.
