A Party That Condemns Racism Versus A Party That Enables It
The moral divide between the two major American political parties has become pretty stark. On the one hand, you have a party which stands for respect, inclusiveness, diversity, and multiculturalism; and on the other you have a party which no longer even feels the necessity to cloak its racist language in "dog whistles" anymore. Dog whistles are so passé, at least over on the Republican side of the aisle today. All manner of bigotry (including racism) is now not something for the GOP to condemn or punish or even be ashamed about, instead it is to be either enabled (by saying nothing) or actually celebrated in front of throngs of cheering crowds.
Of course, like most of the breakdown in civilized and upright behavior over on the right, this can mostly be laid at Donald Trump's feet. Not the racism or bigotry itself, mind you (which has certainly been around a lot longer than Trump has been on the political stage), but the embrace and naked admission of it all in public -- which might be called Trump's signature move.
Two incidents over the past week have put this on display in rather obvious fashion. A Los Angeles city politician was caught on tape saying some reprehensible and racist things. And a sitting U.S. senator bellowed some reprehensible and racist things at a political rally. One was a Democrat, one a Republican.
The Democrat, City Council President Nury Martinez, had an uncensored tape leaked where she was speaking to two other city councilmembers and a Labor organizer. Martinez, who is a Latina, was discussing the redistricting of the city, and pushing the idea that the districts should be drawn to maximize Latino political power while diminishing electoral power for various other minorities. The other participants in the conversation did not push back against some awfully racist language (with some profanity sprinkled in), including calling a Black child of another councilmember a "little monkey" (in Spanish).
The Republican, Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, used racist remarks (with some profanity sprinkled in) to paint the picture that all criminals were Black, and all Blacks were therefore probably criminals. There's just no other way to read his remarks, really. The crowd cheered enthusiastically in response.
So what have the two parties done about it since? The Democrats -- from Joe Biden on down -- are calling for all three councilmembers to resign. Republicans are totally silent on Tuberville, uttering nary a peep in protest. As I said, the moral difference simply could not be more stark. One party condemns racism, the other enables it by their silence.
To date, Nury Martinez has resigned her position as president of the city council -- but has not (yet) resigned her seat on that council. She has taken a leave of absence instead. All three councilmembers have issued apologies. This is likely not going to be enough, especially for Martinez. All three may eventually be forced to resign. The California Department of Justice (run by a Democratic attorney general) has announced it will be investigating the city's redistricting for racial bias. Her remarks have been widely condemned, with no Democrat still supporting her. The condemnation has been universal, across the entire party.
To date, Tommy Tuberville has not resigned. He has not apologized. He refuses to even answer media queries as to what, exactly, he was even referring to. He is stonewalling everyone. Which is probably smart, because not a single prominent national Republican has yet to publicly condemn what he said. This is what enabling racism within the party's ranks looks like.
Tuberville's not the only Republican who is feeling more and more comfortable about just coming out and saying what he really feels about race. Pretty much anything Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says will have some racism thrown in the mix. And there's a reason for all this.
Tuberville was speaking at a Trump rally. The crowd loudly cheered his comments. They loved it. They ate it up. And this is precisely why all the other Republicans refuse to condemn Tuberville's remarks. Because to do so would not just be to condemn Trump (by association), but it would also condemn all those Trump supporters who cheered when they heard the remarks. And those Trump voters are now the Republican base.
Donald Trump made being nakedly racist not just mainstream within the Republican Party, but an actual applause line. Any other Republicans who are horrified at this development have only their own silence to blame. Condemning Trump for any reason under the sun already equates to political suicide within the GOP ranks, and now all the other Republicans out there spouting racist garbage have to be coddled as well -- lest the base turn on you and your political career come screeching to a halt.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is seen as somewhat estranged from Trump, but even he would not condemn a Trump racist attack on his own wife. That's how cowardly the party has become. Even those who are on the outs with Trump still fear his base voters.
This is the epitome of "moral relativism," which is a polite way of saying: "We will condemn the other side for all kinds of things, but never condemn any member of our own for anything whatsoever, no matter how reprehensible." Like I said, it is moral cowardice, plain and simple.
The president of the United States felt it was appropriate to weigh in on a controversy within his own party, even though the politicians involved were pretty minor, all things considered. Joe Biden didn't have to comment -- this is merely a city council, after all. But he did. His spokeswoman said Biden thought all three councilmembers should resign their seats, which is exactly the right position to take.
The last Republican president not only didn't condemn a controversy within his own party, he celebrated it -- Tuberville made the comments at a Trump rally, after all. By doing so, Trump signalled that other Republicans shouldn't even think of saying anything bad about the remarks -- which they all then meekly complied with.
Democrats have the moral high road, obviously. They should even use this politically, much as Republicans beat them up in the 1990s over the politics of "taking personal responsibility for one's words and actions." One Democrat has shown how to do this, in a recent debate, in fact. Tim Ryan, running for the Senate in Ohio, debated J. D. Vance and turned Trump's own words against Vance. Trump loves to humiliate those Republicans who once did have a moral compass and denounced his divisive tactics... but then later gave in and supported him even though they knew it was morally the wrong thing to do. Trump humiliated Vance by appearing at a rally for Vance and joking that while Vance wasn't always his supporter, now he is reliably "kissing my ass." Ryan brilliantly turned this back on Vance by saying Ohio "needs an ass-kicker, not an ass-kisser."
Republicans are currently walking down a dark and dangerous path. What they denounce as "cancel culture" is really nothing more than being held accountable to some sort of standard of behavior. And being called to account, and there being some consequences for ignoring all standards of decency. That is what Trump has freed them from, as far as they're concerned, and more and more examples of it will keep popping up precisely because no national Republican leader is out there condemning it in the strongest possible terms. It is almost impossible to even imagine any Republican today calling for Tommy Tuberville to resign his office, to put this another way. Well, maybe Liz Cheney, but she's obviously an outlier (as she is about to disappear from the Republican stage, for turning on Trump). Silence equals complicity. And there's a deafening silence coming from the Republicans, not just over Tuberville's odious remarks but over all kinds of similar ugly language being routinely used within their caucus.
The only thing that's ever going to change this dynamic is if the voters begin holding Republicans accountable for it. So far, Republican voters don't seem inclined to do so. Independents, however, may be critical in close races -- only in the reddest states can politicians win with just the Trump base behind them. But until the Republicans begin to pay a real political price for their naked racism and bigotry, we can all expect this sort of thing to become more and more common on the right.

I wonder how Dems in close races are making use of this little feature not a bug of the Repug Party.

Ya can always tell when MC is stoned out of his skull..
He posts a comment and then reposts it 13 minutes later..
I guess he forgot he posted it.. :D
hhehehehehehehehehehe THAT's funny.. :D
Bashi,
The most we can expect to achieve is the prediction of the probability distribution of the system's future possible states by the generation of ensembles of model solutions.
Here's a hint for ya, Bash..
If your "scientific" BS is has words like "maybe" and "possible" in it, it ain't real SCIENCE..
It's Democrat "science".. It's political-based activism..
It ain't science..
I haven't given up petroleum based products because until a significant part of the population do the same, there is little point.
EXACTLY...
NO ONE thinks that Global Warming is ACTUALLY a problem..
So no one bothers to change their ways.. Scientists and zealots still ride around in the huge SUV convoys and jet-setting around the world in their private jets..
So, you say to yourself, "NO ONE else seems to believe this garbage, so why should I restrict myself when no one else is.."
EXACTLY my point, Bash... Glad you came around to my way of thinking..
That said, I do support moving away from petroleum and do what I can.
You DO support it.. You DO encourage others to do it.. You just refuse to do it yourself..
THAT's called hypocrisy.
There is a little thing called "Leading By Example".. But, obviously you are not a leader, eh? :D
The left is not going to disappear from society homesteading it without electricity or transportation just to appease your ego.
No.. They should do it because, according to them, it will help save the planet..
The hysterical Global Warming morons scream hysterically about "Saving The Planet"..
But THEY (and YOU incidentally) just don't want to be inconvenienced by it.. THEY (and YOU) can't be bothered to actually DO something about it.. :eyeroll:
I am glad we finally got on the same page on this issue..
That said, I do support moving away from petroleum and do what I can.
I am interested though, Bash.
What EXACTLY do you do that you consider "doing your part"??
Please provide details..
A Party That Condemns Racism Versus A Party That Enables It
And the Party that enables it is the Party that CREATED the KKK and Jim Crow..
The Party that has fought tooth and nail AGAINST the civil rights laws..
They Party that, even today, pushes segregation is schools..
The Party that, even today, wants race-based selection processes for a number of government benefits and assistance..
Which Party enables racism today??
Why, it's ya'all's DEMOCRAT Party...
Funny how that is, eh?? :D
Speaking of hypocrisy...
Biden’s lies and outright fabrications are constantly dismissed, downplayed and softened by media
Reporters look the other way when Biden ‘constantly lies with impunity,’ Joe Concha said
The media has long downplayed and softened President Biden’s decades-long history of falsehoods, as most recently evidenced by a euphemism-filled New York Times report that referred to outright fabrications and lies as "folklore" stories with "factual edges shaved off."
The Times finally discovered Biden’s trouble with the truth on Tuesday but was widely mocked for using mealy-mouthed language in the report.
The Times noted Biden has lied about being "raised in the Puerto Rican community at home," his academic record, his life story, being arrested when protesting civil rights, being arrested in South Africa, pinning a Silver Star on a Navy captain and even the timeline when he rode on Amtrak to visit his sick mother, among other things. He’s told other unbelievable stories that the Times failed to mention, such as the claim he confronted a gang leader named "Corn Pop" in the 1960s.
But instead of flatly calling Biden a liar, the Times said he "embellished narratives, sometimes only loosely based on the facts, to weave together his political identity."
https://www.foxnews.com/media/bidens-issues-truth-constantly-dismissed-downplayed-softened-media
Ya'all see the BLATANT hypocrisy of yerselves and yer Democrat Party???
President Trump LIES... The GOP LIES..
Democrats including Dementia Biden??? Well, they "embellish narratives that are sometimes loosely based on the facts"...
Sometimes, these embellishments are based on nothing but bullshit..
And ya'all give the Democrats (and Dementia Biden) a pass..
Why is that??
I know, I know.. Ya'all won't answer it.. Because the ONLY answer ya'all can give proves the Democrat Party slavery at work here.. :eyeroll:

Another Dementia Biden lie..
Biden says son Beau 'lost his life in Iraq' during Colorado speech
Beau Biden died in 2015 as a result of brain cancer
President Biden erroneously said that his son, Beau, "lost his life in Iraq" during a speech in Colorado on Wednesday.
"I say this as a father of a man and won the Bronze Star, the conspicuous service medal, and lost his life in Iraq," Biden said.
Beau died of brain cancer in 2015.
Biden made the speech on Wednesday near Vail, Colorado, where he designated Camp Hale as a national monument.
Biden said in a 2019 speech that he believes Beau's "exposure to burn pits" in Iraq "in my view, I can’t prove it yet, he came back with stage four glioblastoma. Eighteen months he lived, knowing he was going to die."
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-says-beau-lost-life-iraq-during-colorado-speech
You people need to come to grips with the reality and the facts..
Either Dementia Biden *IS* riddled with dementia and senility...
Or he is a bigger liar than ya'all accuse President Trump of being..
Which is it??
Some of Biden’s dishonest statements are political, such as the time he claimed the economy had "zero percent inflation" during July when it was actually 8.5%. Other times, they’re wildly exaggerated tidbits about his personal life. He often botches key details, misremembers dates and sometimes seems to just make up or embellish tales about his past.
He has falsely claimed he was "appointed" to the Naval Academy, dishonestly said he was arrested in South Africa, misleadingly bragged he was arrested during the civil rights movement in the United Stated, inaccurately claimed he was once a professional truck driver and oddly claimed he was "sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home."
Biden’s lies are sometimes repeated multiple times, often growing bigger with each exaggerated version of the actual event. He declared this week that "everything was ruined" from the basement to the attic and "we almost lost a couple firefighters" when lightning struck his home 15 years ago.
However, the Associated Press at the time reported that "no one was injured" in the "small fire that was contained to the kitchen" and under control within 20 minutes.
Greg Price, a senior digital strategist for X Strategies, put a spotlight on Biden’s fire falsehood by sharing footage of the apparent exaggeration. He believes "Biden has spent his entire career lying" but regularly gets a pass from the mainstream media.
"The reason he gets away with it is because, contrary to what Chris Cilizza once said, reporters do in fact root for a side," Price told Fox News Digital, referring to the CNN’s reliably liberal Cillizza famously claiming that "reporters don’t root for a side. Period."
A two-fer!!!! Dementia gets caught in all his lies and CNN Sillyzza ALSO gets caught in a lie!!! :D
Why is it that ya'all give Dementia Biden and Democrats a pass on lying, but go bat-shit hysterical accusing President Trump and GOP'ers of lying???
Anyone??? Anyone???
I'll tell ya why.. Because ya'all really don't give a carp about lying..
Ya just like to beat up on President Trump and the GOP'ers...
Hypocrisy. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature.
"He constantly lies with impunity and for no apparent reason. He said he finished at the top of his law school class. He finished near the bottom. He had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race due to plagiarism. He keeps saying he was arrested during civil rights protests. He said he was arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela. He insists inflation is at or near zero percent. He says we’re not in a recession. And he says the border is closed. Yet, fact-checkers either ignore the lies or try to defend them."
-Joe Concha
Just like Weigantians®.. Ya'all either ignore the lies or you try to defend them.. Or mitigate them.. Or equivocate them..
The facts are clear.. And no one here can argue with the facts.. :eyeroll:
Awwww carp!!!

"Joe Biden frequently recounts stories about phantom Amtrak conductors, imaginary residential infernos, and baseball glory that he never achieved.
Biden could invent these non-events to make himself look good. In that case, he is a pathological liar. But, even worse, maybe he really believes that these non-events actually took place," he continued. "If so, then he is living a life of total fantasy. Liar or fabulist? The American people need neither in the White House. Joe Biden cannot be replaced as Commander-in-Chief soon enough."
-Deroy Murdoch
I have an idea... How about ya'all, when you mention alleged lies from a GOP'er, you point out a lie from Dementia Biden or Democrats.. Ya'all have PLENTY to choose from...
That's what a FAIR reality based forum would do... :D
Ahhhh Stacey BIG LIE Abrams is back in the news..
Remember how BIG LIE said that there is no such thing as a "fetal heartbeat"!??
That it's mythical and simply a creation so that men can control women's bodies..
BBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
How DELUSIONAL are Democrats, eh?? Obviously a steady diet of Democrat BS rots Democrat brains... :D
So much for the claim that Democrats are all about real SCIENCE..
Science is on The Side of Life
Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said recently there is "no such thing" as a fetal heartbeat at six weeks gestation. Abrams made this outrageous claim in a speech in Atlanta, saying, "it is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body." Abrams has also suggested that Georgia's heartbeat law shouldn't be referred to as a "heartbeat law" because "that's medically false, biologically a lie."
As an OB/GYN who cared for women and their babies for almost 30 years, I have been unable to get these disgraceful comments out of my mind. I have personally been in the room when women first heard the beautiful sound of their baby's heartbeat. It is truly a magical moment and you don't need to be a medical doctor to be able to say that. Millions of women who have experienced the wonder of pregnancy would agree with me. Over the course of nearly three decades, I delivered more than 3,000 children in North Texas. I have spent hours listening to newborns' miraculous cries. In the brief silence between those incredible shouts, I heard the hums and alerts of the remarkable medical technologies which monitored the mother and child—and had tracked their health for months prior to delivery.
https://www.newsweek.com/science-side-life-opinion-1750924
Ya'all need to come to grips with the reality and the facts..
Democrats are NOT about science.. Democrats are only about activism..
Every bit of "science" that Democrats spew is nothing but poorly disguised activism..
Democrats create entire branches of "science" based on their activism.. Democrats change definitions of words, based on their activism..
All well documented FACT....
The reality is this: Abrams is trying to spread blatantly false information to back up her radical pro-abortion agenda. She has made clear that pro-abortion Democrats will stop at nothing to impose abortion on demand. These disingenuous comments are an attempt to dehumanize the baby in the womb. You might ask, "Why would they be doing this?" The answer is clear: life is winning, and they are grasping at straws.
Democrats are, indeed, grasping at straws... That much is blatantly and plainly obvious... :^/
Who was it who said Inflation will be gone by the mid-terms.. Oh. It was MC!! :D
Wholesale prices rise for first time in three months and show U.S. inflation still raging
Producer price index climbs 0.4% in September --- double the Wall Street forecast
The numbers: U.S. wholesale prices rose 0.4% in September to mark the first increase in three months, signaling little progress in the Federal Reserve’s fight to vanquish high inflation.
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had forecast a 0.2% gain. Wholesale prices had fallen in August and July entirely because of declining gasoline prices.
The increase in wholesale prices over the past year, meanwhile, fell slightly to 8.5% from 8.7% in the prior month. Inflation is still running near a 40-year high, however.
A separate measure of wholesale prices that strips out volatile food and energy costs also increase 0.4% last month, the government said Wednesday. That was a larger than expected.
The increase in these so-called core prices over the past year was flat at 5.6%.
The change in wholesale prices offers clues on how much inflation is increasing. The consumer price index due on Thursday gives a better idea of how much the cost of living is going up for U.S. households.

Seven days of mayhem: Random killings expose lethality of Democrat crime policies
More than three-quarters of U.S. voters said violent crime is a major problem in a poll taken one month from Election Day
A college dad shot by two homeless men high on drugs and long sought by police. An illegal migrant who stabbed eight on the Las Vegas strip. An abused wife slaughtered after her husband was released without cash bail.
In a single week, the Democrats' permissive approach to law enforcement — insecure borders, cashless bail and exploding homelessness — left a lethal wake of innocent victims that shook communities coast to coast and invigorated a political debate less than 30 days from mid-term elections.
https://justthenews.com/nation/crime/seven-days-mayhem-random-killings-expose-lethality-democrat-crime-policies
And ya'all actually BELIEVE that Democrats are going to do OK in 27 days??? :D
Oh boy, oh boy are ya'all in for a letdown.. :D
Violent Crime is one of the TOP TWO concerns of the American people..
And a DIRECT LINE can be drawn from the explosion of violent crime in America right straight thru to the DEFUND, DEMONIZE, DEMORALIZE policies of the Democrat Party..
Oh sure.. I'll grant ya'all that SOME Democrats have realized how badly they frak'ed up and are now trying to back-pedal furiously over their DEFUND, DEMONIZE, DEMORALIZE policies... But that is too little, too late...
It is an UNDENIABLE fact that the Democrat Party DEFUND, DEMONIZE, DEMORALIZE policies has totally and completely decimated the chances of a decent showing by Democrats in the coming mid-term..
I challenge ANYONE here to dispute this undeniable facts with facts of their own..
{{cchhhiiiirrrrppppp}}{{ccchhhiiirrrrppp}}
Silence gives assent.
-Democrat Mantra
"Policymakers have decided that law-abiding citizens are secondary and that those who commit crimes are afforded protections that embolden more crime," Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro in New York told Fox News earlier this week.
Molinaro was reacting to the tragic shooting death of Paul Kutz, a 53-year-old college dad who was gunned down in a suburban New York hotel while visiting his son during family weekend at Marist College.
The suspects were two homeless men wanted in connection with other crimes who were smoking a PCP-like substance and had bomb-making materials in their room, police have said,
New York has been ground zero for liberals' experimentation with cashless bail, and the toll exacted by repeat offenders is mounting daily.
U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, the GOP nominee for governor of New York, has focused relentlessly on the killing last week of 40-year-old Keaira Bennefield, who was shot dead in front of her children, while wearing a bulletproof vest and fearing for her life from her husband.
Is there ANYONE here who has the integrity to concede that Democrats have TOTALLY let down the American people with their pro-Criminal policies and TOTALLY scroo'ed da pooch vis a vis their chances in 27 days??
Anyone at all??
Yea, didna think so... :^/
The epitome of Democrat teachers..
Alabama middle school teacher doubles as drag queen in free time, tells children 'Everybody loves a big bone'
The Alabama teacher said during one event that 'everybody loves a big bone'
A middle school teacher in Alabama spends his free time as a drag queen, and recently made sexually driven comments at a Drag Queen Story Time that was geared toward kids.
James Miller, a teacher at Mountain Gap Middle School in Huntsville, Alabama, operates the Facebook page "Madge D. Ivine (Miss Majesty Divine)," where he frequently posts pictures of himself attending drag events such as Drag Queen Story Time.
DEMOCRAT PARTY TEACHER OF THE YEAR
At one Drag Queen Story Time that was hosted at Hard Knocks Rescue & Training, Inc., an animal rescue organization, Miller made a comment while reading a book about a dog that hid its bone, saying in front of a group of children, "Everybody loves a big bone."
https://www.foxnews.com/us/alabama-middle-school-teacher-doubles-drag-queen-free-time-children-everybody-loves-big-bone
WOW...
And THIS is exactly why Florida has a Parental Notification Rights law...
For JUST incidents like this.. :eyeroll:
For those Weigantians® who actually have children... Would you want THIS guy teaching your kids?? :eyeroll:
“It was just about having to be thinking more, uh, — slower — to just understand and that sometimes that’s kind of the processing that happens.”
-John Fetterman
So, this begs the question..
Do Pennsylvanians really WANT a Senator who has to "think slower"?? :^/
See, here's the thing..
In the Senate, they hold live debates about legislation that they are proposing.
Other Senators will not speak very, very slowly. There will not be a screen with the words appearing on it.
How can Fetterman expect the people of Pennsylvania to vote for him knowing he won't be able to understand the debates and knowing he won't be able to articulate his plans to help his constituents??
If Fetterman had an IOTA of integrity, he would drop out of the race..
The Republican, Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, used racist remarks (with some profanity sprinkled in) to paint the picture that all criminals were Black, and all Blacks were therefore probably criminals. There's just no other way to read his remarks, really. The crowd cheered enthusiastically in response.
Then why not quote the remark verbatim and in context and THEN we can judge whether it's actually racist or no..
Ya see, this is the EXACT problem with Democrats and their accusations of racism..
9 times out of 10, there is NO FACTUAL BACKING that proves the remark is racist??
Remember how I slammed everyone down when ya'all claimed that President Trump was racist..
When we got down into the weeds, we discovered that there were no actual FACTS to prove the claim..
I remember it vividly.. NeilM was forced to concede, "OK, so President Trump isn't racist.. But he IS a bigot"
Sweet capitulation.. Music ta me ears.. :D
So, let's see the remark verbatim and in context.. Then we can see if it's a racist remark or not..
I see a lot of unfounded claims against President Trump and Republicans..
Where are the FACTS that support those claims...
"Facts!!??? We don't need no stinkin' FACTS!!"

BBBWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I predict Democrats will pick up at least 2 Senate seats, and hold the Republicans to near a draw in the House, with the slimmest of majorities for either side in the House. No red wave at all.
OK.. I will hold you to that prediction..
If you ever have the cajones to step a foot back on Weigantia® soil...

MC,
I'm with JFC on this one and I agree that JSOW (aka Michale) split because of the changing political environment -- just like right before the 2018 Midterms his feelings got hurt so he split.
As usual, yer wrong MC.. I have already explained my absence.. :D
However, it appears that it is YOU who split because Democrat chances of prevailing in the mid-terms are once again in the toilet..
Either that or you split because I showed up and you had ta high-tail it outta here!!
BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Which is it, MC???
JFC,
There is nothing "lively" about pages and pages of cut and paste troll puke that serves no purpose other than trolling and malignant "troll" is the correct term regardless of how much you like to pretend otherwise. Your troll love blinds you to the otherwise obvious reason this place has been abandoned by so many
Says the guy who ran away the minute I showed up.. :D
It's amazing how much fear the FACTS and I generate amongst the intellectually challenged here in Weigantia..
Thank you, JFC... Thank you for giving me so much power over you and your actions.. :D

CDC director's sole 'parents' meeting on school reopening guidance featured left-wing activists, docs reveal
Rochelle Walensky met with the leader of a transgender-aligned group and others at orgs that are funded by deep-pocketed Democratic donors
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Rochelle Walensky met with parents just once leading up to the release of school reopening guidance last year. Now, new documents obtained by Fox News Digital reveal the parents featured in that meeting were primarily left-wing activists, including the head of a transgender-aligned group and others at organizations funded by Democratic megadonors.
Walensky frequently touted that they had consulted parents' needs for the guidance despite her calendar containing the sole 30-minute meeting. American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten used the event to attack Fox News Digital and other publications for reporting on the CDC's closeness with teachers' unions. In May 2021, Weingarten tweeted a screenshot of a CDC email showing the event, saying the outlets "are probably never going to let their readers know that the CDC met with parents too."
The parents who participated in the meeting, however, almost exclusively included a handful of liberal activists, according to the previously redacted emails obtained by Americans for Public Trust as part of their FOIA lawsuit against the CDC and shared with Fox News Digital.

Democrats are NOT about science.
When science-based health decisions needed to be made to protect our children??

"Since taking the reins of the CDC, Dr. Walensky has prioritized everything but following the science.
First, she colluded with the teachers unions to keep our schools closed, and now we learn that her 'parent' meeting was nothing more than placating the demands of liberal activists from dark money groups. Maybe if the CDC spent less time appeasing activists and unions, kids could have returned to school faster and wouldn't be facing devastating losses in learning."

The only "science" that Democrats care about is Democrat "science".. Which has been proven beyond ANY doubt to be nothing but Democrat activism... :^/

Feehery: Crime and punishment; law and order
It doesn’t take a reading of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s famous novel to understand that crime and punishment in modern-day America is seriously out of whack.
President Biden announced the other day that he was going to pardon all those Americans with federal convictions of illegal pot possession, which is pretty funny because currently there is nobody in federal prison for illegal pot possession.
Getting credit for releasing nobody from federal prison is part and parcel of the Democrats’ Achilles’ heel in the midterm elections. Try as they might, they can’t run away from their home-grown “defund the police” movement.

Things Are Much Worse Than They Seem for Democrats
Don’t believe the psy-ops polls: Democrats are in for a shellacking unlike any they’ve had in a long while.
As sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, corporate propagandists offer their best psy-ops for the midterms. Through the summer and into the early part of fall, they were driving the narrative that somehow the midterm elections were not going to be particularly devastating for the freakish Left, and by that I mean Democrats writ large.
The general narrative—and this is the Cliffs Notes version—was that there is nothing to worry about as our economic house burns down, violent crime explodes, and our southern border collapses. In reality, it’s not that bad at all. Actually, it’s good for you! Those flames you see burning down the house, in fact, are a source of warmth to brighten your evening. And don’t worry, the foundations should still be intact when the flames die down. Maybe.
The most blatant attempt at shaping a rosy narrative for Democrats about the midterms has been the absurd push to take note of “registered voter” polls, which in the real world means almost nothing. The “likely voter” polls—that is, polls of people who are actually likely to vote in the midterms—paint a different picture across the board, from the congressional generic ballot to the Senate and gubernatorial races. Nevertheless, as is sadly and predictably the case, there are those on the Right who have fallen for this psy-op. If one really wants to get a snapshot of reality, look at the polls strictly focused on likely independent voters only.

On topic (for a change), I find the word "racism" defined as "The belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities or qualities".
As a rational person, I would modify that definition to the extent of replacing 'belief' with 'recognition', and then ask, Can there be a rational person in the whole world who is NOT a "racist"???
Simply declaring (in the name of political correctness), that there are no obvious differences among the races of the world is NOT "rational", right? Anyone with eyes can SEE there are differrnces, and not just in skin tone.
On topic (for a change), I find the word "racism" defined as "The belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities or qualities".
Close...
But the definition of racism (well, before Democrats got ahold of it and changed it to fit their racist agenda) is the belief that one race is SUPERIOR to other races or that one race is INFERIOR to other races..
Ironically enough, the ONLY two examples we have of systemic/institutionalized left in this country is Affirmative Action and The Democrat Party..
I would love to continue this ON TOPIC discussion with you CRS... Com'on!! Save my Weigantian® soul!!!
hehehehe :D
Simply declaring (in the name of political correctness), that there are no obvious differences among the races of the world is NOT "rational", right? Anyone with eyes can SEE there are differrnces, and not just in skin tone.
Agreed...
But the better question is why do Democrats go out of their way to EMPHASIZE and ADVERTISE the differences in races?? All the while pontificating that they want an society of Equality..
In a society that has TRUE equality, phrases like "The First Black Woman SCOTUS Justice" would be met with a perplexed stare and a "Yea?? So??"...
Which simply proves that Democrats are NOT about a truly equal society..

Don't Dems/Libs ever wonder why damn near all the real Nobel Prizes (the ones created by Al himself) go to Jewish people?
Don't they wonder why there were still up until relatively recent times, people (such as Native Americans) living in the stone age??
Simply denying reality does not obviate it.
Again on topic.
Not really. Judaism is a RELIGION.. So it's not a racist/racial issue..
Having said that...

If your "scientific" BS is has words like "maybe" and "possible" in it, it ain't real SCIENCE..
First, your quoted sentence does not contain he words "maybe" or "possible". Just saying. But more to the point, "maybe" and "possible" are the absolute core of science. Maybe we can go to the moon, let's see if it is possible. Maybe we can break enigma let's see if it is possible, and shortly thereafter you are commenting on blogs...
As to the rest I gave my answer in the previous thread, you can read it there...
Stucki-
20% of Noble Prizes have gone to those of Jewish descent, fairly evenly distributed across all the categories. Not sure what you are going on about "real"...
BB
If you are unaware, Alfred Nobel created the Science prizes. All the 'liberal arts' (non-science) prizes were created by other folks, in Al's name (for some reason).
BB
When you've got some time to waste, calculate the % of science prizes awarded to Jewish folks, and then look up the % that Jewish people represent of the whole world population.
Stucki-
What in "fairly evenly distributed across all the categories." don't you understand?
And the prize in economics was created later, just saying...
BB
What in "Science" don't you understand?
"Peace" might be real nice, but it sure as hell ain't a "science", Likewise Economics and any other of the "feel good" awards.
First, your quoted sentence does not contain he words "maybe" or "possible".
Really??
The most we can expect to achieve is the prediction of the probability distribution of the system's future POSSIBLE states by the generation of ensembles of model solutions.
So, yer wrong again.. :D
It's happening a lot lately, eh?? :D
Stucki-
What about Jewish history do you not understand? The Jews have been as strong in theater, film, literature and the "liberal arts" as they have been in science. Those of Jewish descent have done as well in your "feel good" prizes as they have in science.
Michale-
Hadn't had my coffee yet. Still if you read what you quoted, "possible" is not used as you are trying to portray. Why don't you go familiarize yourself with ensembles of models before revisiting that section. Bonus points for a IPCC Assessment Report that is more recent that two decades ago...
But more to the point, "maybe" and "possible" are the absolute core of science. Maybe we can go to the moon, let's see if it is possible. Maybe we can break enigma let's see if it is possible, and shortly thereafter you are commenting on blogs...

So, your first comment on this thread is to denigrate a fellow Weigantian ... and, particularly, my fellow lover of life and all that it has to offer? Great. Oh, okay, I did chuckle, a little. :-)
As for finding William Bradley, I knew that would be hard. He used to have a wonderful blog, New West Notes and I was a part of it. Consequently, when he closed that blog down I was automatically put on his email alert list and so I receive his new analytical political pieces and his comments on various news articles from a wide range of important sources.
I have asked him before how people can find his stuff now but didn't get a good answer. I'll try again and let you know if I learn anything. I know you would enjoy reading his stuff - he has SUCH a vast amount of experience in politics and geopolitics and is exceptionally well traveled, too!

You've missed my whole point. I did not mean to imply that because Jewish folks excel at science, that they are somehow deficient elsewhere Quite the contrary, I have observed that they excel at damn near everything, making others by definition, inferior, which according to Dems/Libs absolutely defines me as a racist!!
I'm simply saying that those who fail to recognize those plain and obvious facts are self-defining as idiots, in order to keep from being defined as racists.
OK, so all that defines me a racist, and you an idiot, right?

The National Fraternal Order of Police released a scathing criticism of modern law enforcement protocol Thursday, calling the nation "lawless."
The order made the statement in reaction to a sharp spike in violence against police this week, which the group blamed on "failed policies" and "anti-police rhetoric" from politicians and media personalities.

Saudis say Biden admin requested oil production cut to come after midterms
The Biden administration has threatened Saudi Arabia with 'consequences' for moving forward with the cut
President Biden's administration urged Saudi Arabia to delay cutting oil production by one month, putting it behind the midterm elections, the country said Thursday.
The Saudi government, which leads the OPEC oil conglomerate, rejected appeals from the U.S. last week and moved forward with cutting oil production, potentially causing gas prices to spike in the U.S. before Election Day.
"The government of the kingdom clarified through its continuous consultation with the US administration that all economic analysis indicates that postponing the Opec+ decision by a month, according to what has been suggested, would have had negative economic consequences," read a Thursday statement from the Saudis, according to the Guardian.
The Biden administration responded to the decision with outrage, declaring Wednesday that the U.S. would "reassess" its relationship with the Saudis.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/saudis-say-biden-admin-requested-oil-production-cut-come-midterms

Dementia Biden tried to pressure the Saudis to hold off the production cuts so as to influence the elections..

I am sure all those same Democrats will condemn Dementia Biden, eh?? :D

DOJ sued for refusing to explain why it ignored protests at Supreme Court justices’ homes
The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project was asking for documents explaining DOJ's inaction
The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project sued the Department of Justice on Thursday for failing to comply with Freedom of Information Act requests for documents explaining why it ignored protests outside the homes of Supreme Court justices in the wake of this year's historic abortion ruling.
The group's lawsuit against the Justice Department said its request for records from various offices, including the Office of the Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel, the FBI, and the U.S. Marshals Service, were all denied. The group was seeking records that explained why DOJ failed to enforce a federal law that protects Supreme Court justices from certain demonstrations at their private residences.
The initial request was ignored by the Biden administration, in violation of the FOIA statute, the group claimed in its lawsuit. The DOJ repeatedly missed deadlines on subsequent requests, and even after granting one request with expedited processing, the Oversight Project has yet to receive a response from the DOJ
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doj-sued-refusing-explain-why-ignored-protests-supreme-court-justices-homes
The EXACT same sort of PRO CRIMINAL policies are at work with the DOJ's POLITICAL decision to ignore the COMPLETELY ILLEGAL protests at SCOTUS Justices' homes.
Protests that resulted in an ATTEMPTED ASSANATION of Justice Kavanaugh...
Once again.. PROOF POSITIVE that all the violent crime and scumbag activities can be traced DIRECTLY to the Democrat Party and their PRO Criminal HATE Cops polices...
Facts to support??
Most of your pro gun nut posts?
No law-abiding gun owner has been involved in police shootings.
Are they law abiding before or after the shooting?
It's ALWAYS been Democrat criminals..
Got anything to back up they are registered democrats? I would think the vast majority of criminals that use and carry guns come from the 1/3 of the population that are eligible but don't vote...

On Another Brutal Inflation Report, the Context Makes It Even Worse for Democrats
The final pre-midterms Consumer Price Index dropped this morning, and it was bad -- worse than expected, in fact, as were wholesale prices earlier in the week. Both figures increased by double the consensus estimates. Inflation is getting hotter, with core inflation surging even more than the headline CPI number. Whatever the Fed has been doing to combat inflation is looking insufficient, raising the likelihood of more painful actions to stifle the US economy. The possibility of a semi-miraculous "soft landing" now appears more even remote. We have already met the definition of a technical recession, no matter how often the president and his administration try to pretend that's not the case. But what might be coming down the pike looks worse. Some lowlights from the new report, in case you missed it:

In Overheated Economy, Dems Forced To Cool Climate Messaging
Eric Sorensen, a Democrat running for an open seat in a northwest Illinois congressional district that Donald Trump narrowly won twice, concluded recently that his campaign website’s top issues section needed a major reshuffling.
A section entitled “Addressing Climate Change,” which was initially leading the page, was relegated to the no. 4 spot, according to a comparison of the archived version of the website. The revamped website’s top two sections were new: “Addressing Rising Costs” and “Securing Reproductive Rights.”
Sorensen’s re-tooled website reflects the purple nature of his district and the shifting realities of the 2022 midterms as candidates head into the final stretch. Democrats are facing severe headwinds when it comes to the economy and inflation, and they can’t afford to dodge the issue or ignore the pain it's causing many low- and middle-income Americans.

If there is one thing that has been proven beyond ANY doubt with the LA Council scandal...
LA City Council scandal exposes Democrats’ politics of racial division
Progressive politicians want you to believe that their public position is also their private position and that their advocacy for fairness and equality among our diverse nation is pure and incorruptible.
However, when people look beyond their fantastical rhetoric and focus on the disastrous outcomes of putting these people in power, we start to see who they really are: identity-obsessed racists.
On Oct. 9, leaked audio surfaced to the public involving a private meeting between Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez, Council members Gil Cedillo, Kevin de Leon, and the LA Labor Federation President Ron Herrera, allowing us to see the authentic side of progressivism.
The conversation, led by Martinez, ranged from ridiculing City Council member Mike Bonin’s black son as “a little monkey” in Spanish for his behavior on a float and Bonin for “raising his son like he’s white” to insulting District Attorney George Gascón by saying “F–k that guy. He’s with the blacks.”
https://nypost.com/2022/10/11/la-city-council-scandal-exposes-democrats-politics-of-racial-division/
The Democrat Party is STILL the Racist Party..
Progressives see black people as their emotional-support animals whom they can publicly pet for personal comfort by claiming their lives matter but behind the scenes feed them nothing but garbage as they purposely mistreat them or at minimum, neglect them.
Nury Martinez and her council cohort are the perfect examples of how perverse progressives operate when they’re given political power. Progressive politicians will inevitably divide people into groups to either support their agenda because they are one of them or malign them because they are outsiders.
“Fuck that guy. He’s with the blacks” encapsulates their collectivist mentality and every opponent of those council members should run that audio clip on a loop until people understand how mentally downtrodden these people are.
But I thought the progressive mantra was that they are all “with the blacks?” What happened to equitable treatment? For those council members, equitable treatment comes at a cost of political power and you can’t authentically support people you despise.
Oh SNAP!!!! That is BRUTAL!!!
But it's true.. Democrats view black Americans as their "emotional support animals"..
I guess Democrats never really lost their superiority complex vis a vis black Americans.. :eyeroll:
Oh no! right wing publication makes broad assumptions on a single candidates website. Yawn...

Meet the five Democrats in key Senate races who have expressed support for eliminating cash bail
Crime is now more of a concern for voters than abortion, according to recent polling
Past and present support for certain policies related to crime from left-wing Senate candidates could be a hindrance for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections as they seek to maintain control in Congress.
At least five Democrats running for Senate positions around the country — John Fetterman, Rep. Tim Ryan, Mandela Barnes, Cheri Beasley, and Sen. Raphael Warnock — have voiced support for an end to cash bail in America.
Crime, which has skyrocketed across several major American cities, has become an important concern for voters ahead of the November elections, with a poll last month indicating that a majority view Republicans as more equipped to handle the issue that has become more important to them than abortion.

How many people are dead and how many other people have had their lives ruined because of these 5 morons and their Democrat PRO-CRIMINAL policies???
Democrats don't even have the integrity to be ashamed of themselves... :^/
There is no purity in party politics, but there is something insidious about how progressives project racism onto conservatives while enacting policies that negatively affect minorities and choose to interact with racial minorities with an air of elitist condescension.
When they want to defund the police, as Nury Martinez advocated for, despite it being an unpopular policy position among black Americans, you now have your answer as to why they’re doing it: There aren’t enough black people who vote in their elections to truly give a damn. Black people’s safety is not nearly as important as their ideology, reelection bids and corporate lobbying dollars.
If ya'all REALLY want to talk about racism..
Why not talk about the MULTITUDE of Democrat Party policies that has brutally hurt black Americans??
DEFUND THE POLICE
BLACK LIVES MATTER
NO BAIL
PRO-CRIMINAL
All of those Democrat policies actively HURT the black American community...
President Trump had done more for black Americans and Native Americans than Democrats had since they fought tooth and nail against the Civil Rights Acts of the 50s and 60s...
This is FACT..
So, please.. If ya'all want to talk about REAL, DOCUMENTED and FACTUAL racism..
Look no further than yer Democrat Party...
Welp, it's that time again.. :D
Everyone can come out now.. Yer safe from the big ol' meany, Michale!! :D

Call me when cops catch up to taxi drivers for per capita violent deaths...
“35 children murdered today? Call me when they catch up to women for per capita violent deaths…”
So innocent people getting killed is only a concern if they are doing a specific job? Not demonstrating a whole lot of compassion there, don’t you think? You do realize that taxi drivers aren’t required to wear Kevlar vests when they go to work… which would radically decrease the number of deaths if they did, right? The number of officers shot each year is still ridiculously high because everyone is armed! Murdering innocent people is never acceptable.
Michale,
How many people are dead and how many other people have had their lives ruined because of these 5 morons and their Democrat PRO-CRIMINAL policies???
Democrats don't even have the integrity to be ashamed of themselves... :^/
Funny, not a single Democrat here has ever threatened to file a false police report against an officer who they've never met simply because they got slapped down and their lies were exposed by that officer's spouse. You threatened to file a false police report that could have damaged the career of the officer all because your dishonesty got exposed.
You are the very last person to ever get to claim others are anti-police! With your threats and willingness to commit criminal acts to harm police officers and your years of stealing valor from those that actually served their communities... that you aren't completely ashamed of yourself for how much of a low life piece of scum your actions make you out to be is honestly stunning!
Trump humiliated Vance by appearing at a rally for Vance and joking that while Vance wasn't always his supporter, now he is reliably "kissing my ass."
And what did Vance do? He abased himself further by jumping up on stage and shaking Trump's hand. If you think Yale educated lawyer and venture capitalist J.D. Vance doesn't know exactly who Donald Trump is, then you're the mark. While it's true Vance might gain a seat for himself in the United States Senate by becoming a Trump ass kisser and cock holster, he'll never again regain his dignity.
Ryan brilliantly turned this back on Vance by saying Ohio "needs an ass-kicker, not an ass-kisser."
If the shoe fits.
Republicans are currently walking down a dark and dangerous path. What they denounce as "cancel culture" is really nothing more than being held accountable to some sort of standard of behavior.
Just like the Sandy Hook families that sued Alex Jones for the irreparable damage his lies had caused their families, the multiple police officers who are suing Donald Trump for his lies will also have their day in court. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but turn they do. :)

Police work is middle of the road statically as far as dangerous professions go. I only bring up taxi drivers as they are the most killed by other people per capita. By a wide margin. Of course neither of those even come close to forestry and fishery workers who also have safety equipment specific to their job. A quick search comes up with an average of 245 law enforcement officers hit by bullets ending in 45 fatalities per year. If every police officer hit by a bullet was killed it would still put police work in the same area of danger as crossing guards and Garbage collectors. If danger is a pedestal to which to judge people's work, why don't you see parades for fallen loggers?
