Can a Whole Country Go Mad?
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 7/18/2020 1:20:25 AM
“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." (Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland) The other day I was watching TV. (We’re quarantined. Sometimes there is little else to do.) In any case, in the mindless surfing that approaches an altered state, I saw an ad that left me nearly apoplectic. It consisted of a series of faces covered by masks of all types and sizes. The voice-over repeated like the peeling of bells over St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Easter: “This is not a mask. This is not a mask. This is not a mask. This is solidarity.” It propelled me off the couch. I screamed, “IT’S A MASK.”

'Journalism’ as STEM Majors to Circumvent
Immigration Policy 1 reply
Several American universities are expanding the scope of their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in an attempt to circumvent U.S. immigration law, which allows international students who major in STEM subjects to stay in the country two years longer than counterparts who major in the humanities. New York University, for example, now includes journalism, classics, and drama therapy under its STEM umbrella.
NYU is one of a number of universities exploiting a U.S. immigration policy that requires most international students to leave the country a year after finishing their studies—but permits those who studied STEM disciplines to work for an additional two years.
Rutgers Declares Grammar Racist
3 replies
The English department at a public university declared that proper English grammar is racist.
Rutgers University's English department will change its standards of English instruction in an effort to "stand with and respond" to the Black Lives Matter movement. In an email written by department chairwoman Rebecca Walkowitz, the Graduate Writing Program will emphasize "social justice" and "critical grammar."
Walkowitz said the department would respond to recent events with "workshops on social justice and writing," "increasing focus on graduate student life," and "incorporating ‘critical grammar' into our pedagogy." The "critical grammar" approach challenges the standard academic form of the English language in favor of a more inclusive writing experience.
The stark reality of what a Biden puppet presidency would mean has come into view. It is, to say the least, absolutely terrifying.
But questions remain about whether he'll even be the nominee, and if so, if he'll make it to Election Day in this role.
First, can anyone imagine Biden debating Trump? I can't.
The left is already scrambling to figure out how to leverage the situation to get Biden out of this commitment, such as demanding Trump release his tax returns in exchange for Biden's participation in the debates. No doubt more schemes will emerge in the coming weeks.
'Go woke, go broke' comes to A&E

When the Marxist mob used George Floyd's death as an excuse to ramp up its ongoing war on policing, A&E instantly caved. That proved to be a costly decision. News broke Friday that the cable network has lost almost 50% of its viewers.
When it was founded back in 1984, the Arts & Entertainment Network was going to be a highbrow cable show, focusing on fine arts, documentaries, and dramas, many imported from Britain. A generation of women remembers being introduced to Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in A&E's Pride and Prejudice. This highbrow fare, though, wasn't bringing in revenue.
While speaking with Laura Ingraham on Fox News on Monday, July 20, Yale epidemiology professor Dr. Harvey Risch said hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), if used properly, could save between 75,000 and 100,000 lives and can also be taken safely as a preventative. His findings were published in the May 27 American Journal of Epidemiology to no effect. A similar French study in early March reported similar evidence of success using HCQ to combat COVID-19. The French report was dismissed as anecdotal.
Dr. Risch insisted that HCQ is effective and safe, but he has become the victim of a "propaganda war" ever since President Trump recommended it back in March.
President Trump’s approval ratings are in. He is enjoying a 49% approval rating – better than Obama’s at the same respective time period in his Presidency.
Rasmussen Reports announced their results today: [Tweet]
Not only is President Trump recording an overall 49% approval rating but Blacks and other minorities are on the Trump Train bigly. Other minorities give President Trump a stunning 57% approval rating while Blacks match the rest of the population at 49%.
These are terrible news for the Democrats, who bring a horrible candidate to the 2020 Presidential election.
St Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell and his new Head of the St Louis County Conviction Review Unit, Dana Balzer, held a press conference on Friday to discuss an investigation into the recent Galleria Mall shooting in St Louis.
Then Bell surprised onlookers by announcing charges against two police officers in a separate investigation who reportedly fired at a suspect after the suspect reportedly tried to run them over.
Neither Bell or Balzer had any idea what they were talking about in regards to the arrests of police officers.
Bell appeared to have trouble reading his notes and appeared severely incompetent and perhaps illiterate.
The miscounting and fraudulent numbers related to the China coronavirus just keep coming. Unrelated deaths are being counted as COVID-19 related and deaths from days and weeks ago are suddenly being attributed to today’s COVID-19 mortality counts.
A CBS12 team in Florida reported:
A 60-year-old man who died from a gun shot wound to the head.
A 90-year-old man who fell and died from complications of a hip fracture.
A 77-year-old woman who died of Parkinson’s disease.
These are some of the deaths in Palm Beach County recently, and incorrectly, attributed to COVID-19 in medical examiner records.
The CBS12 News I-Team uncovered several examples in Medical Examiner reports
Leftists in Portland are routinely committing violence in the downtown area. This week, the rioters have set their sights on the Hatfield Federal Courthouse, which is a mistake since vandalizing federal property isn't handled by the pusillanimous officials of Portland but by folks at the U.S. Department of Justice.
U.S. Attorney Billy Williams announced on Friday that 18 individuals arrested during attacks on the Hatfield Federal Courthouse this past week are now facing federal charges. Court documents say protests in downtown Portland have been followed by criminal activity that includes assaults on law enforcement officers, arson, looting, destruction of property, and vandalism.
An Ohio man seen kneeling on the neck of a 2-year-old boy on social media has been arrested, authorities said Thursday.
Isaiah Jackson, 20, was booked into jail on a probation violation after the Clark County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation Tuesday into the photo, which depicts a man with his knee on the back of a white child neck’s along with a caption, “Blm now mf.”
A second person is also seen behind the child holding the youngster’s hands behind his back.
Deputies determined where the incident took place and made contact with Jackson as well as the child and the child’s mother, sheriff officials said.
Ratings for A&E Network have plummeted since it canceled the hit police reality show “Live PD” on June 10, a sign of how much the network relies on law-enforcement programming.
Average prime-time viewership for A&E between June 11 and July 19 was 498,000 people, down 49% from the same period last year, according to data from Nielsen. In the key demographics of adults 18-49 and 25-54, the declines are 55% and 53%, respectively.
The show, which follows police on their rounds in multiple cities simultaneously, averaged about 1.9 million viewers for its Friday and Saturday night episodes, repeatedly re-aired on other days. It spawned several successful spinoff shows, also canceled.
The Police Officers Association of Michigan on Thursday endorsed President Donald Trump for re-election.
“Unlike most elections where political opponents share many opinions and goals, this presidential election presents two very different candidates,” President James Tignanelli wrote in a letter announcing the endorsement of President Trump over former Vice President Joe Biden.
The endorsement noted Trump restored the sharing of surplus military equipment for police officers, promised to veto a bill removing qualified immunity for police officers, and opposed defunding or “re-imaging” police departments.
The department praised Trump for his support for law enforcement throughout his presidency.
“He supports the police while the previous administration preferred to insult them

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said during his show on Friday that once-conservative news aggregator Matt Drudge of “The Drudge Report” is “now firmly a man of the progressive Left,” noting that his site has taken on a decidedly anti-President Trump bent in recent months.“For decades, Matt Drudge was one of the most influential figures in conservative journalism. His self-titled Drudge Report broke news and set priorities in digital media,” Carlson said as he began a segment with Drudge biographer Matthew Lysiak.“Republican presidential candidates made wooing the famously secretive Drudge a high priority,” he continued. “And for several of them it paid off big, including Donald Trump.”
LOS ANGELES—The first guest of Michelle Obama’s new podcast will have a familiar presidential voice: Barack Obama.The former United States president is expected to appear on “The Michelle Obama Podcast” on Spotify, the Obama’s Higher Ground and streaming service announced Friday.

Despite the occasional looting, chaos, property damage, trespassing, rioting, graffiti, assaults, arson and general mayhem, the media consistently assure us that antifa “protesters” are “largely peaceful.” And since the majority of buildings in Portland, Seattle and Denver haven’t been looted yet, who am I to argue?Of course, it takes only a sliver of the population to transform downtowns into a mess and create quality-of-life issues for thousands of law-abiding citizens. And the mayors who surrender parts of their cities to left-wing “protesters” are tacitly endorsing lawlessness themselves. There’s little doubt that if alt-right activists
President Donald Trump loves branding his opponents. Boy, do I have the brand for Joe Biden. Other than "Basement Biden." Or Biden is the leader of the "Dementia-crats." Those are effective and memorable, too.
But nothing beats this little ditty: Biden stands for "Biggest Idiot Democrats Ever Nominated."
Forget Biden's nonstop stumbling and bumbling. Forget that he appears to not know where he is (he talked about Vermont but was in New Hampshire), what day it is (remember "Super Thursday"?), what year it is (remember in the presidential debate when old Joe said supporters could "go to Joe 30330")
It was Meghan and Harry against the palace “vipers.” Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were so popular internationally that they were eclipsing the rest of the royal family — so a coterie of snake-like royal courtiers, the so-called “men in gray suits,” worked to thwart them, according to excerpts from a new biography that is very sympathetic to the famous couple. “Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family,” which is being serialized by the Times of London starting this weekend, said the palace “establishment’’ lived in fear of the couple’s global appeal. So courtiers worked

AT readers will be shocked to learn of the passing of Lloyd Marcus, Tea Party icon, prolific AT contributor, and conservative activist extraordinaire. Lloyd suffered an apparent heart attack early Friday, dying before medical assistance could arrive. His beloved wife Mary was at his side at the time. Lloyd worked his way out of a ghetto background under the guidance of his father, the late Rev. Lloyd E. Marcus, a career firefighter and civil rights pioneer.
The WNBA's Seattle Storm and New York Liberty teams walked off the court during the playing of the national anthem before the season-opening game on Saturday afternoon. The two teams' planned walk-off was part of the league's season-long Justice Movement initiative—designed to fight systemic racism and violence—which the WNBA and Women’s National Basketball Players Association announced earlier in July. On Saturday, players from the Storm and the Liberty headed for their locker rooms while the national anthem played at the WNBA bubble at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Both teams then returned to the court and observed 26 seconds
What accounts for the frenzied shift to hysterical language among leftists when attempting to demean the president every time they open their mouths? That is an easy question; they know that Biden is a pathetic loser and that Trump is going to defeat him handily in November. Sure, the constant din of their hateful slings and arrows may have done some damage, but not nearly enough for him to lose the election, and the Democrats know it. Thus, we hear terms like "storm troopers," "militia," "private troops," and other nonsensical language to describe Trump's light-touch attempts at rescuing those Democrat-run cities
Antifa militant and convicted pedophile Blake David Hampe was arrested in the early hours of Saturday following his alleged stabbing of a black Trump supporter in Portland.
The Trump supporter and conservative, who goes by the name Black Rebel on social media, posted several updates to his condition from the ambulance and hospital. In the Periscope livestream, he alleged that Hampe had stalked him and his group of friends for several blocks in Portland before stabbing him.
Black Rebel stated that Antifa militants doxed his identity and posted his location on social media and advised each other to “watch out” for him.
