Oxford University May Scrap Sheet Music
for Being Complicit in ‘White Supremacy’
Posted By: Imright, 3/30/2021 9:23:31 AM
The University of Oxford is considering proposals that would remove sheet music from its curriculum over woke claims that teaching the Western form of musical notation has roots in “colonialism” and “complicity in white supremacy”.In response to widespread Black Lives Matter protesters and riots last year in the United Kingdom, music educators at Oxford University have joined the wider iconoclastic movement which has been sweeping through British academia.The music department at the prestigious and ancient university has seen calls to remove music notation from the curriculum as professors seek to focus less on white European heritage and culture,

Republican Rep Dan Crenshaw (TX) received devastating news: A retinal detachment in his only seeing eye. Crenshaw is a former Navy SEAL who lost his right eye due to an IED explosion in Afghanistan, hence his signature black eye patch. According to Politico, he began seeing “dark, blurry spots” in his remaining good eye a few days ago. He was told his retina was detaching and needed emergency eye surgery to repair his detachment.(Photo) What does this all mean? As a practicing retina surgeon, I want to explain some of what he may be going through. The standard doctor caveat applies, which is that Rep Crenshaw is not
GOP Representative Steve Scalise is trying to find Vice President Kamala Harris, who he says is “missing at the border.” His method of recovery is old-school, but there is something to be said for returning to the basics.Scalise turned up at a Republican presser this morning with a carton of milk with Harris’ photo and the caption “Missing at the border: Vice President Kamala Harris.” (Tweet/Photo/Video) This latest jab comes as Harris has refused to visit the southern border, despite the recent and problematic surge of migrants that has filled detention centers to capacity and then some.
On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee approved H.R. 40 which establishes a 13-person commission to study slavery reparations in the United States for the first time in history. It passed with a majority of 25-17 votes. The vote does not mean that the bill will make it to the House floor. Should it proceed to a vote, the Democrats hold a very slim majority in the House and its passage is in doubt. It is even more unlikely to pass the Senate. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) presented the legislation to the House committee. She declared: “No such bill has ever come this far during Congressional history
Republicans have condemned proposals to increase the number of Supreme Court justices from nine to 13 - a plan which Democratic members of Congress have said they will introduce on Thursday.'Packing the Supreme Court would destroy the Supreme Court,' tweeted Tom Cotton, senator for Arkansas. 'The Democrats will do anything for power.'Donald Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, said increasing the size of the court was a terrible idea.'The moderate left is gone,' he said.'This is who they are now. Open borders. Outlawing voter ID. Free healthcare for illegal migrants. And now court packing.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox News Primetime,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) reacted to U.N. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield’s statements about racism being a part of America’s founding documents by saying that under the Biden administration, our own diplomats are saying the same things about America that we used to hear Chinese or Soviet officials say about the U.S. Cotton said, “Amazing. Yeah, you used to listen to Communist Chinese or Communist Soviets call Americans racists at the United Nations. In the Biden administration, you hear that from our own ambassador.
The White House correspondents dinner has been canceled again this year.Does anyone in America care? The White House correspondents dinner has been cancelled due to COVID-19. (Photo) No God-loving American is going to miss this nasty self-congratulatory celebration by the fake news elites. These evil people who push liberal lies all day long while ignoring the destruction of America, get together each year to pat each other on the back. They think they are smart and intelligent and end up showing the world how dumb and disgusting they really are.
Protesters in Minnesota chased away a CNN crew while they were attempting to cover the fourth night of demonstrations over the police killing of Daunte Wright, a report said.
One member of the crew got hit in the head with a water bottle, falling to the ground, outside the Brooklyn Center police station on Thursday night, according to the Washington Examiner, which had a reporter on the ground. Some people in the crowd called for a medic for the crew member, but he insisted “it’s all good.”
Minnesota cops arrested 24 people for rioting and curfew violations in the fourth night of protests over Daunte Wright’s police shooting death — with one man mocking officers by parading a severed pig’s head on a stake. (Photo) In a press conference early Thursday, officials said that most of those arrested were from outside Brooklyn Center, according to the Star Tribune. (Photo) The protest — the same day ex-cop Kim Potter was arrested for Wright’s manslaughter — had been mostly calmer than previous nights, with no apparent looting, law enforcement said.
A Monday New York Times front page headline on the explosion at a key Iranian nuclear facility claimed the “Attack May Hurt Efforts to Reboot 2015 Deal.” On Tuesday, also on the front page, the paper declared that “Israel’s Role in Iran Blast Casts A Shadow on U.S. Nuclear Talks”Get it? Making a new deal with Iran is a very good thing, anything that hurts the chance is a very bad thing, including Israel.Here’s an alternative view: the Times is still drinking the Kool-Aid that the original Iranian nuclear pact was a success and is worth saving. To committed dead enders, Iran’s violations of the terms and
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would not have been elected to Congress in the first place were it not for Republicans in San Francisco she tricked into backing her over another Democrat, who was openly gay.Pelosi, according to a book excerpt, literally sent out mailers in her 1987 special election primary to registered Republicans in her district with elephant logos on them, pushing Republicans to vote for her. The mailers also criticized efforts to raise taxes, and argued Pelosi would oppose income tax hikes if elected to Congress.The push worked, and delivered her thousands of GOP votes.

The Biden administration announced Tuesday that it will send 500 more U.S. troops to Germany, reversing former President Donald Trump’s troop withdrawal policies. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made the announcement during a trip to Berlin on Tuesday and said the troops will be stationed this fall “to strengthen deterrence and defense in Europe,” according to Axios.The announcement comes two months after Biden froze the withdrawal plans so the Pentagon could conduct a review of how American forces are deployed around the world, The New York Times reported.
One of the most swampy Republican senators is in hot water after voting to charge Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial, which ended in his acquittal. Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski has not committed to running for a fourth full term. When asked on Tuesday evening when she will announce her decision, Murkowski deflected and said she will make her final decision “when I make it.”“I have been doing everything that a good incumbent does in terms of preserving my options, visiting with Alaskans, spending a lot of time, as much time on the ground as I can, and raising money,” Murkowski said.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday she would have fought Capitol rioters should they have entered the House chamber, according to USA Today.
Pelosi and other members of Congress were in the House chamber on Jan. 6 when a group of rioters entered seeking to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
Pelosi was asked by USA Today what she would have done if she wasn’t evacuated in time, to which she responded, “Well, I’m pretty tough. I’m a street fighter. They would have had a battle on their hands.”
The U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot dead an Air Force veteran during the tumultuous events on Jan. 6 will not be charged, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Wednesday.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division decided jointly not to pursue charges against the officer.
The decision came after a “thorough investigation” into the shooting of Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old who joined others in storming the U.S. Capitol in Washington during a joint session of Congress in January. Babbitt was shot while trying to climb through a broken window into the Speaker’s Lobby, adjacent to the House chamber.
Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday she has no plans to visit the U.S. southern border but she’s looking forward to a trip soon to Mexico and Guatemala to address the core causes of surging migration from Central America. She also cautioned that her work isn’t likely to show noticeable results anytime soon. “It will take some time to see the benefits of that work,” Ms. Harris said. “These are not issues that are going to be addressed overnight in terms of the root causes.”(Snip) Ms. Harris said the U.S. needs to provide the region with economic development aid, to give “some hope
On Thursday, Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate plan to unveil legislation to expand the size of the Supreme Court, potentially reversing the originalist gains under former President Donald Trump.
The bill would add four seats to the Court, bringing the total from nine to 13, sources told The Intercept. Congress has the authority to set the number of justices on the Court, which has remained at 9 since 1869. House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), Subcommittee Chair Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), and Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.) are leading the bill in the House while Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) will lead the effort in the Senate.
President Joe Biden wants cities to put more apartment buildings and multifamily units, such as converted garages, in areas traditionally zoned for single-family housing. As part of his $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, cities would allow for smaller lots and for apartment buildings with fewer than six units to be built next to a traditional house. Current zoning laws that favor single-family homes – known as exclusionary zoning – have disproportionately hurt low-income Americans. Many of them can't afford to buy a big lot of land, leaving them trapped in crowded neighborhoods earmarked in the past for Black and brown residents, while white
The National Collegiate Athletic Association, a cartel controlling the multibillion-dollar college athletics business, may be painting itself into a corner. Probably because it is a creature of the higher education industry that has gone off the deep end in its commitment to far-left politics, the NCAA is taking an extreme position on transgenderism and apparently seeking a confrontation with the State of Florida if it passes a law currently under consideration that would limit participation in women’s sports to biological women.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration is currently “engaged with NASCAR and Country Music TV,” among multiple other venues, in an effort to reach White conservatives who may be hesitant to get vaccinated against COVID-19. During a press briefing Monday, Ms. Psaki was asked to address a New York Times report that said rural states such as Mississippi, Ohio and Oklahoma are seeing a lackluster demand for the vaccine. Ms. Psaki said the White House was addressing the problem primarily at the local level but that other measures had been taken to “get directly connected to White conservative communities”
Russian troops have painted their assault vehicles with 'invasion stripes' as Vladimir Putin masses more troops on the Ukrainian border and fears that he may try to invade. An onlooker in the Astrakhan region of Russia, 350 miles from the border filmed a column of armoured personnel carriers with a white cross painted across the top. In the Cold War, Russian forces painted the cross onto their vehicles when they were facing opponents who also used identical Soviet-made machinery in an attempt to avoid friendly fire.
While in the modern age, technology renders the rudimentary identification unnecessary the paint could be designed to intimidate
The White House is spending close to $352 a night to provide beds to the estimated 80,000 migrant families expected to flood the border from now until September, according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement document obtained by the Washington Examiner.
The contract rents out hotels in Texas and Arizona for six and a half months — 199 days. In these hotels, 1,239 beds will be occupied by those participating in the border surge, which the government dubs “emergency family reception sites.” After three days of sleeping in the hotel, migrant families who entered the country illegally will then be freed into the United States with a court date to
It looks like Gov. Phil Murphy will go unchallenged in this year’s Democratic gubernatorial primary after administrative law judges Tuesday said his two would-be challengers should be tossed off the ballot for failing to get enough voter signatures on their petitions.(snip) The Democratic State Committee charged that McCormick’s campaign used voter data to automatically fill petitions without the voters’ knowledge. There were at least two petitioners who were dead when they allegedly signed their support for McCormick’s campaign, some names were misspelled and others had moved out of the state
Driving to Taliban-controlled territory doesn't take long. [SNIP] We meet our host: Haji Hekmat, the Taliban's shadow mayor in Balkh district.
Perfumed and in a black turban, he's a veteran member of the group, having first joined the militants in the 1990s when they ruled over the majority of the country.
The Taliban have arranged a display of force for us. Lined up on either side of the street are heavily armed men, one carrying a rocket propelled grenade launcher, another an M4 assault rifle captured from US forces. Balkh was once one of the more stable parts of the country; now it's become one of the most violent.
One of the things I couldn’t help but notice during the BLM protests last year was the fact that deeply distraught, hysterically angry white women seemed to be taking the lead in many of the protests. It turns out that I may have been on to something. A women’s publication called Evie has caught up with the fact that a study from last year found that over half of white, Democrat women have been diagnosed at one time or another with a mental health problem. I’m not at all surprised.
