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.

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.

Higher Education Needs To Be Destroyed

TFP , , ,

Or at least remade significantly. This is the best piece I have read on the crisis in higher education yet. From admission scandals to the corrupt student loan racket to poor education to indoctrination, the whole university system is due for major upheaval. The article does not offer any solutions per se, but is more of a wake-up call.

The author hints at fixes: not everyone needs to go to college, in fact perhaps most do not these days. This will hit the academic-industrial complex hard and force change. Leftist academia won’t like it….they may have to get real jobs. Kill the government-run college loan industry which is large Obama’s Frankenstein monster. And have industries devise ways to get the skills they need without burdening their future employees with debt and years of lost wages taken on via college.

Another Airport Drops Chick-Fil-A

TFP , , , ,

After leftist fascist NY assemblyman Sean Ryan has a hissy-fit. First San Antonio (San Antonio!) and now Buffalo. These politicians are not banning Chick-Fil-A because it discriminates against the LGBT crowd: it doesn’t. They are banning the restaurant because they hate traditional Christian views. They are trying to ostracize the company and make those who do not toe their LGBT line outcasts.

Well, I have a suggestion for all conservatives, traditionalists, Christians, and the rest of you who are sick of government bullying and over-reach. Do not visit these cities. Take your tourist or business dollars elsewhere. Boycott them. Who would want to visit Buffalo anyway? I’m not.

Seattle Is Dying

TFP , , , ,

I highly recommend watching this hour long special. It vividly illustrates what happens when radical leftists rule a big city. Seattle has devolved into a hellish pit of drugs, filth, crime and lawlessness, largely because the far-left Democrat government is no longer enforcing the law. Seattle now ranks number two in the country in property crime among US big cities, trailing only….wait for it……San Francisco.

This is a very important show.

Inane and Comical College Courses

TFP , ,

You are wasting your money if you are sending your kids to these institutions of “higher” learning. Unsettling Whiteness? Eco/queer/feminist art practices? What is “unsettling whiteness”? One of the courses listed here is at my alma mater. I’m so proud.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/report-lists-inane-comical-college-courses-including-gender-in-gaming-unsettling-whiteness_2808521.html

American education swirling the drain. How about this: “Muslim, transgender, black, illegal immigrant women in American society”? That should check all of their “intersectionality” boxes.

Will The Far-Left Make Jeff Bezos a Republican?

TFP , , , , ,

Jeff Bezos of Amazon is the world’s richest man. He also leans politically left. But after the far-left crazies who have taken over the Democrat party effectively killed Amazon’s plan for a second headquarters in New York City, it begs the question. Will he turn to the right? It is interesting to see the radical socialists turn on someone who has heretofore been sympathetic to liberal causes. As I say, the left always eats its own.
