Proof that modern academic leftism is
insanely stupid
Posted By: Magnante, 9/4/2021 4:55:11 AM
I quickly realized as I shepherded my children through public school and college that leftists in education are incredibly uninformed to the point of abject stupidity. (snip) I have never come across anyone as spectacularly uninformed as Dr. Linda ManyGuns who works at Mount Royal University, in Alberta, Canada. Dr. ManyGuns has declared war on oppressive capital letters. (snip) Just this April, Mount Royal University proudly announced that she was its new “associate vice-president of indigenization and decolonization,” responsible for “providing vision, strategy, leadership and direction to advance indigenization and decolonization commitments.”

What's with the bizarre campaign against Ivermectin?
It's not just that the FDA has put out a quackish tweet (shown here by AT contributor Dr. Brian Joondeph, M.D.) scolding viewers that they are not horses or cows. That's in reference to the fact that in some high-dose forms, ivermectin is used as a horse dewormer, begging the question about its effectiveness when it is dosed and formulated properly as a human medical treatment for COVID, prescribed off-label. The news reports repeatedly call ivermectin a dangerous drug, implying that all uses of the drug are dangerous, even when taken properly.
Corrupt. Incompetent. Pathological. Criminal. Treasonous.
Those are just a few of the (printable) adjectives that aptly describe the illegitimate gang of idiots currently running our country. Joe Biden, the so-called president, is nothing more than a marionette controlled by a gaggle of career bureaucrats and academics, none of whom has ever contributed anything substantial to our once vibrant society. Indeed, they are nothing more than destroyers, power-mad ideologues who use a demented old grifter as a mouthpiece while they dismantle, piece by piece, our once great Republic. Globalism is their ultimate goal
Second Thoughts: Dems Have A Few
13 replies
As the pollsters across the board show President Biden’s support tanking rapidly (even among those whose polls regularly overweight Democrat support), the major media are having a hard time burying the story of administrative incoherence and stupidity and the consequences here and abroad.
The man who as a candidate promised to repair our international alliances has dealt NATO a significant if not fatal blow. The rush to bug out of Afghanistan left hundreds, probably thousands of persons who were citizens, green card holders, and allies behind. And our NATO allies have not been able to extract all their people either.

The Healthcare Credibility Problem
7 replies
I am a strong supporter of doctors and the healthcare industry in general. (snip) the COVID-19 pandemic has undermined doctors’ credibility. Doctors can be found everywhere arguing about the merits of wearing a mask, social distancing, excessive handwashing, quarantine time, the efficacy of various treatments promoted by some and castigated by others, and the efficacy and risks of vaccines. Many doctors bemoan the fact that COVID is keeping people from their regular checkups (snip) Because of significant skepticism about the credibility of the healthcare system, it is well known that there are possibly tens of millions of unreported COVID cases, and those people likely have natural immunity.
Two utterly fascinating facts about COVID
31 replies
I learned two facts today, one about COVID’s survival rate and the other about eye-opening medical information hidden within the bowels of the CDC. (snip) Dr. Ioannidis concluded that most locations around the world have an IFR [infection fatality rate] that’s less than 0.20%. Additionally, protecting vulnerable populations and treating people with appropriate medicines may further reduce mortality rates. (snip) Dr. Ioannidis, therefore, decided to look at age-related survival rates and he came up with survival numbers that, if more widely known, would bring this mad panic to an end.
Why all the fuss about Ivermectin?
25 replies
First hydroxychloroquine, now ivermectin, is the hated deadly drug de jour, castigated by the medical establishment and regulatory authorities. Both drugs have been around for a long time as FDA-approved prescription medications. Yet now we are told they are as deadly as arsenic. (snip) The Guardian describes ivermectin as horse medicine reminding readers considering taking the drug, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow”, saying it’s a medicine meant for farm animals. The FDA echoed that sentiment in a recent tweet, adding “Seriously, y’all. Stop it”, their word choice making it obvious who the tweet was directed to.
When the stink of slavery choked England and America, Christian leaders and laypeople spoke out and slavery was ultimately abolished in England and America. When the horrors of Nazi Socialism became evident in the 20th Century, Christians like Bonhoeffer in Nazi Germany resisted and spoke against Hitler. When the oppression of Communism became too great in Eastern Europe, leaders, including Pope John Paul II, spoke out and the Iron Curtain fell (snip) Where are the Christian leaders to call for an honest analysis of this very controversial election? To his great credit, Franklin Graham has questioned the outcome
Yes, the Left is that Stupid

We’ve been hearing a lot of speculation that the Afghan debacle is more than it seems – that rather than being a typical outcome of activity by some of the dumbest, most ill-informed, and most blinkered individuals ever to occupy places in the U.S government, it is instead a dark, convoluted conspiracy aimed at some goal sinister beyond words.
Some of this is from the usual suspects who see conspiracies every time a cat falls out of a tree, and some by more reputable people. The core concept here can be expressed simply: “There has to be something else going on. Nobody could be that stupid.”
Biden throws a tantrum
17 replies
Our hapless president’s speech on Tuesday was not a speech at all. It was a full-blown childish tantrum. While he was ostensibly celebrating his massive “airlift” of thousands of mostly-Afghan refugees, from the beginning it was clear he is extremely angry. He almost shouted his claim that his catastrophic misadventure in Afghanistan has been a smashing success. This is a huge lie and everyone knows it, even those trying to spin this debacle as a win. In fact, Biden’s surrender has probably set a genocide in motion just as our betrayal of the South Vietnamese gave birth to the killing fields.
Who Shall Rescue Us from Joe Biden?
15 replies
With placeholder president-in-name-only Joe Biden’s horrifying, juvenescent, and callow surrender of Afghanistan, the Dems’ and Never-Trumpers’ grand succession plan après Donald Trump has now utterly collapsed.
President Joe Biden is officially a disgrace to the office, the nation, and its citizens. Ruined by his native low IQ arrogance, malicious incompetence, and aging mental health infirmities, and shunned by our allies, Joe Biden has no standing. Relegating serious Afghan retrograde decisions to a collection of woke fools, and duplicitous useless technocrats would never be forgivable even if Biden were a completely innocent incapacitated bystander.
'Long-held Doubts about Biden’s Ability'
13 replies
In National Review Saturday morning, the great and the good are affirming their “long-held doubts about Biden’s ability.” (snip) I guess you could say that this is progress. Up till now, the only thing the “ruling clique” cared about was that Trump is a Problem. Otherwise everything was copacetic, except that we had only 12 years to save the planet.
As for the rest of the ruling class, the credentialed and educated liberals everywhere from tech to think tanks to universities to media to NGOs and the nice liberal ladies and their virtue-signaling #WeBelieve yardsigns? They don’t have a clue; not yet.

The Biden administration this week signaled that it is eyeing a United Nations small arms treaty that critics claim will lead to an international gun registration plan — including for individual American gun owners. Two years after former President Donald Trump withdrew from it, a top arms diplomat at the State Department told the global body that the current administration is swinging behind the Arms Trade Treaty.
“I have come from Washington, D.C., this week to take the floor on the agenda item Treaty Universalization to underscore the continuing commitment of the United States to responsible international trade in conventional arms,” William Malzahn said at the

WASHINGTON -- After announcing last month that they were expecting, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten are sharing their first family photo with not one, but two newborns.On Saturday Buttigieg, the first openly gay Cabinet secretary, Tweeted a picture of the couple with what appears to be twins."Chasten and I are beyond thankful for all the kind wishes since first sharing the news that we're becoming parents," he said. "We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family."
Misty Todd has used unemployment benefits to pay bills since losing her convenience-store job in March last year. But the 37-year-old Las Vegas resident is unsure how she’ll afford rent, groceries and essentials for her two-month-old daughter after this weekend, when federal unemployment assistance will end for millions of Americans. Her partner, Varick Jones, 42, who worked at a restaurant, will also lose his benefits. Their job searches have been unsuccessful so far. “We were surviving off unemployment,” Todd said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. “I don’t have a job and no way to pay my rent
At this time last year, the Wuhan coronavirus was claiming around 1,000 American lives per day. It seemed to me that, absent a sudden and sharp decline in that number, Joe Biden would be our next president.
It must have seemed that way to Biden and his top advisers, as well. During presidential debates that occurred a little less than a year ago, Biden ripped Trump for his handling of the pandemic. The death count was the centerpiece of this attack.
So what’s the daily death count now, more than seven months into the Biden administration and with a majority of Americans vaccinated?

Bette Midler says women everywhere should sing a new tune in the bedroom to protest new, strict anti-abortion laws like the one in Texas.
“I suggest that all women refuse to have sex with men until they are guaranteed the right to choose by Congress,” the famed actress and singer tweeted Thursday.
The idea, though, might not be original with Midler.
Nancy Sinatra told Midler on Twitter that, “My dad actually suggested that decades ago.”
One commenter told Midler, “Did you know you’re my Shero?”
Actress Rosanna Arquette, however, was not so upbeat about Midler’s not so modest proposal.
Melania Trump wants nothing more than to avoid another term as first lady, according to a Sunday report, as her husband inches closer and closer to another White House bid. 'Being first lady again is not what she wants,' a person who had a close relationship with Melania when she was first lady told CNN. 'For her, it was a chapter – and it's over, and that's that.' Several people, according to the Sunday article, claim Melania has 'zero desire' to return to the White House or continue any public political life.

President Joe Biden got elected largely because millions of voters found him caring and empathetic. Mr. Nice Guy, the argument went, would be a welcome relief from the sometimes abrasive and combative President Donald Trump. Yet as the president retreated from Kabul, to the beat of the Taliban’s drummer, Nice-guy Joe morphed into Mean Mr. Biden.The president’s true colors now shine with searing clarity. He has exposed himself as calculating, callous and cruel.Reuters reported Tuesday that Biden spoke by phone on July 23 with his then-counterpart in Kabul. According to a leaked official transcript,
The Delta variant is driving a surge in the coronavirus pandemic in the US as the Labor Day weekend begins, with new daily cases four times higher than they were a year ago despite rising vaccination rates. On Friday, the national seven-day rolling average of daily new cases was nearly 163,000, an increase of more than 300 percent from Labor Day weekend 2020, according to a DailyMail.com analysis of Johns Hopkins data. Hospitalizations also doubled, and deaths were up 80 percent from last Labor Day. The figures came despite 62 percent of the total US population now having received at least one shot of COVID-19 vaccine.
Thousands of Afghan refugees evacuated in the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan are bracing for new challenges in America, countless adjustments to a new life in a new place and ongoing fear and grief for those left behind. For refugees arriving in Seattle, add to that the sky-high cost of housing. (Snip) Few apartments offer enough space for newly arriving families, and only a limited number of landlords are willing to rent to tenants without rental histories or social security numbers, aid groups say. In the new effort to resettle Afghans, “housing is going to be the predominant issue,” said
