When Equal Treatment Feels like Discrimination

Original Article

Posted By: Judy W., 10/4/2025 9:40:51 AM

Dr. Thomas Sowell famously and rightly remarked when people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination. The counter-programming from secretary of War Pete Hegseth during his September 30 Quantico speech to top military brass doubtless received a frosty reception from at least some of the high-ranking commissioned officers who had grown accustomed to preferential treatment. Consider the psychological mindset of a DIE-privileged general, perhaps someone like Hegseth’s predecessor (the race- and climate-obsessed Gen. Lloyd Austin) or Gen. C.Q. Brown, Jr., formerly of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a vocal supporter of Black Lives Matter. Or perhaps a waddling, comically obese officer such as(Snip) Gen. Mark Milley.

I'm looking forward to hearing about many retirement announcements of chubby generals and diversity promoted officers.

The fact that Comey will be tried in a courtroom packed with Democrats is in itself discrimination against over half the country. The DC Circuit must be dissolved and its cases distributed (in a real random-assignment system) among the other circuits throughout the country.

Interesting perspective……and oh so true! I love the description of the generals listening to Hegseth.

Tommy Robinson asks: '55 Muslim states

Tommy Robinson has been a deeply divisive figure in British politics since the rise of the English Defense League in the early 2010s. His detractors have labeled him a “white supremacist” and an “Islamophobe,” while his supporters have hailed him as the only person speaking truth to power over mass migration and radical Islam. This division has, naturally, stretched into the British Jewish community. Yet as the crisis of security for the British Jewish community has worsened, in particular since October 7, when antisemitism exploded across the UK, more and more British Jews have warmed to the formerly untouchable Tommy Robinson.

Come on, civil war in Europe was inevitable. The New World Order Globalist Oppressors built a system that is failing so hard, not one sector of any of their captured economies is working properly. Europe is in a recession directly as a result of the bone-headed policies. The working people of every country are fit to be tied and September 13th is looking to be the day of days of protest in the U.K.with millions on the street. Instead of the pierced and purple-haired scavenger class littering the cities with their puffy bodies and wrecked minds, these are the people who make the country work.And they have considerable economic power.

In 2015, then-Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, opening wide the doors of her country to close to a million overwhelmingly Muslim immigrants, assured her countrymen that “Wir schaffen das!” or “We Can Do This.” (Snip) In the highly affluent city of Gelsenkirchen, it is abundantly clear how far public institutions have already progressed in adapting to Islamic principles. Several state schools there have completely converted their meals to halal – with no alternative options for “non-believing students.” (Snip) Starting next school year, all students there will only be served what Allah and his believers consider halal.

“A Small European Nation Has a Big Explosions Problem,” a New York Times story recently reported. The story clarified that the small nation was the Netherlands, it never did clarify who was behind the over 700 bombings so far this year.Saying it out loud would have been impolite. European nations, small and great, have all sorts of mysterious unexplained problems that they never used to before. The Netherlands has a rash of bombings. In the UK, acid attacks are up 75%.Much like the bombings in the Netherlands, none of the news stories clarify why a phenomenon associated with a whole other part of the world had migrated to the UK.

Orange Strawman Bad. The New York Times opinion pages, today: By ordering 800 National Guard troops to Washington, on the pretext of an illusory crime wave, President Trump has further dragged the U.S. military into domestic law enforcement, in a move credibly perceived as an ominous “test case.” (Snip) OH GOD TRUMP IS SENDING THE NATIONAL GUARD INTO WASHINGTON D.C., NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE. It’s been four years, dorks. Nobody forgot. Of course it has happened before, in the federal district of Washington D.C. and elsewhere.

While Congress vacations, Trump dominates the media spotlight. August 1 began this administration’s second full six months. August 31 marks Iran’s deadline for abandoning its nuclear ambitions.

The feminized, Ken-doll-abdomened West is getting a hard lesson in the amazing properties of Just Doing Things. We let criminals and mutants at home dominate our society based on the bizarre notion that their very real perfidy was a result of our fake perfidy. (Snip) Donald Trump understands how to say “No.” He refuses to play along with a set of norms and guardrails that only we are supposed to observe and whose sole purpose is to prevent us from exercising our power to reject the decline our alleged betters have decreed we deserve. Remember, they can’t make us do anything. They have no guns and no upper body strength.

President Joe Biden allied his Department of Agriculture with liberal activist groups to register Americans to vote and staff polling locations, potentially in violation of federal law, according to a memo shared with the Daily Caller. The practice has since been undone by President Donald Trump, who directed his administration to conduct a review of the Biden administration’s federal get-out-the-vote programs. Biden signed an executive order in March 2021, rescinded by Trump in March 2025, which required federal agencies to register and mobilize voters. Under Biden’s order, the USDA partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union and Dēmos, a left-wing public policy advocacy group, to implement the president’s plan,
When The Gods of the Copybook Headings Smile 9 replies

In recent years, I’ve sometimes invoked Rudyard Kipling’s The Gods of the Copybook Headings, usually when something goes wrong because people did something obviously stupid. Well, to be fair, that’s the main subject of the poem: how being entranced by popular but dumb ideas leads to destruction. But there’s another side to it. When you do things that are simple and obvious — and, often, traditional — you can do pretty well. And we’re seeing that illustrated, at home and abroad. At home, the allegedly insoluble illegal immigration problem is being solved, via the simple and obvious, and traditional, approach of policing the borders and deporting people who are here illegally.

Herman Cain lives! The late great Republican Tea Party leader, CEO, and former chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve was derided in his 2012 presidential campaign for his "Chilean Model" proposed during a debate -- a plan to replace the failing Social Security system with private accounts, as had been done in Chile in the 1970s. In reality, he had an enduringly good idea that would have saved the rapidly depleting U.S. Social Security system just as it saved Chile's, and made every saver in the U.S. richer. But the left demonized it without a hearing, (Snip) Now President Trump has picked up the torch.

Hamas on Friday agreed to release all Israeli hostages — living and dead — but wants to negotiate the other terms of President Trump’s comprehensive peace deal even after the commander in chief said there was “not much” room for discussion.

The Liberal government's compensated confiscation campaign aimed at removing the vast majority of semi-automatic firearms from the hands of legal gun owners has officially begun, with a pilot program in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia launching on Wednesday. The "buyback" effort is aimed at taking thousands of models of semi-automatic firearms away from their once-lawful owners, who risk criminal charges if they're caught in possession of their firearms once the government's amnesty period has expired. [snip] He said after the program ends and there are no more buybacks, police will know who still has banned guns, so he may as well comply now and get something for it.

BOSTON — A federal appeals court in Boston ruled on Friday that the Trump administration cannot withhold citizenship from children born to people in the country illegally or temporarily, adding to the mounting legal setbacks for the president’s birthright order. A three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals became the fifth federal court since June to either issue or uphold orders blocking the president’s birthright order. The court concluded that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claims that the children described in the order are entitled to birthright citizenship under the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment.

When Pastor Tom Ascol first heard about a “prayer service” at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, he admitted that he had “very low expectations.” Even Ascol couldn’t have foreseen how badly this “prayer service” would miss even his low expectations. Ascol gained quite a bit of virality recently when he recounted an infuriating experience he had at DFW Airport: Ascol revealed that he was at that airport as he was waiting to fly back home after seeing the family of Voddie Baucham, a titan of Christianity who recently passed away. “As I await my flight home from seeing Voddie’s family an announcement in [DFW Airport] says ‘all are welcome’ to a ‘prayer service’ in the chapel,”

A group calling itself “Friends Against Fascism Organization” announced it would hold a “tailgate” party on the University of Virginia campus Friday evening to burn American flags while serving “burgers, dogs and refreshing beverages.” White House rapid response strategist Greg Price shared the group’s flyer on X. However, the legitimacy of the “organization” planning the protest in the parking lot prior to a UVA volleyball match Friday night remains unclear. The university has never heard of the group. The event is ostensibly in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order in August to prosecute flag burning when it incites violent crime.

They can’t stop it. They’re powerless. And we don’t care if you’re upset. The memes will continue until the government reopens. It’s asymmetrical warfare—I love it. The Democrats never expected to be hit like this during the Schumer shutdown, and it shows. They are seething over President Trump’s trolling of Democrats over their little show here. Liberals want $1.5 trillion for illegal alien health care and NPR funding. That’s the crux of why they decided to shut down DC. When talks failed, Trump posted a video of Hakeem Jeffries, K-Mart Obama, standing next to Chuck Schumer with a moustache and a sombrero, where the latter rattled off reasons

An FBI Agent was fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey, according to Reuters. Per Reuters: “An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a “perp walk” of the bureau’s former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said on Friday.” Comey will be arraigned on October 9. His case was assigned to US District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee. MSNBC also confirmed that the FBI agent was fired for refusing to perp walk Comey in front of news cameras after he was indicted.

A student television network at the University of Delaware, which houses the Biden Institute, offered "SPECIAL THANKS" to "CHARLIE KIRK'S KILLER" at the end of a comedy program, then quickly and quietly removed the joke from the episode. The credits for last week’s episode of the Biweekly Show, a student comedy program produced under the university’s supervision, included a "special thanks" section with entries like "COCAINE," "AMNESTY WEEK," "VIOLENCE"—and "CHARLIE KIRK'S KILLER." Delaware Republican Party executive director Nick Miles told the Washington Free Beacon the video was uploaded to YouTube the evening of Sept. 25 and replaced with a version that omitted the credits the following afternoon.

The religion of Islam teaches that raping and killing non-Muslims is a holy and necessary action. Is it any surprise, therefore, that some of the Muslim immigrants to Europe and America admit frankly that their goal is, quite simply, conquest and transformation? San Diego Imam Uthman Ibn Farooq delivered an address in Birmingham, Great Britain, which should chill the heart of every American patriot. America and Europe will be Muslim, the imam excitedly predicted, urging his fellow Muslims not to water down a single word of their religion, which includes explicit commands to rape, assault, conquer, and murder “infidels.” The imam even referenced a desire to be a “martyr,”

The Department of Energy canceled a $630.6 million Biden-era grant that would have funded green energy projects in California, and which Gov. Gavin Newsom (D.) praised as "critical" to the state, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. According to internal agency documents, Trump Energy Department officials determined that the grant would have been used primarily to support new solar and wind energy projects. State leaders said they planned to use the funding to upgrade 100 miles of transmission lines to enable more green energy to come online as part of the California Energy Commission's so-called CHARGE 2T program.

The Democrats appear to have miscalculated on triggering a government shutdown by a vast measure, which we started to see in motion mere hours after the Schumer Shutdown began on Oct. 1. Then as my colleague Ward Clark wrote earlier on Thursday, President Trump signaled in a Truth Social post he was eager to sit down with OMB head Vought in the afternoon, to dig into what extraneous government spending might get cut--especially anything prized by the Democrats. We may have had a preview of this, though, from something Vought posted on his X account on Wednesday afternoon --
