Medicines of War
An Opposite Day 'Progressive' Higher Education
More than 1,300 students at the Midwestern liberal arts college have now signed a petition asking that the college get rid of any grade below a C for the semester, and some students are requesting alternatives to the standard written midterm examination, such as a conversation with a professor in lieu of an essay. The students say that between their activism work and their heavy course load, finding success within the usual grading parameters is increasingly difficult. [More]Mein kampf!
Oberlin again. Where basic annual costs, not including expenses, are 10 grand a year more than the median annual household income.
Noting the present influence of 60s national socialists, just imagine what life will be like when these Spezielle Schneeflocken take the reins of power. Alternatively, if the current con doesn't last that long, the ones who don't end up in burqas would make a wonderful supply of cannibal food.

The NRA called the edits "outrageous" and "unbelievable" and tweeted that Couric should explain the editing. [More]That's some real hardball right there.
UPDATE: If there's a petition for those who want to see something with a bit more teeth in it.
Win-Win-Win!

Memos on Alleged Saudi-Affiliated Support of the 9/11 Attacks [More]Minus 28 "classified" pages, of course.
WarOnGuns Correspondent Laocoön responds:
Disgusting, worse because it's not surprising. FBI had an informant living with two of the terrorists. Of course, like Sergeant Schultz in Hogan's Heroes, he supposedly knew nothing, and he was unavailable for interview. The Jihadis were well hooked up with the Saudi government, princes, diplomats, etc. To the extent the Saudi govt & ruling class wasn't directly responsible, it's still responsible for creating the conditions for Saudis to organize the attack, spreading and funding anti-Western and anti-Jewish hate, madrasas and so forth.
Even now, few people ask why so many millions of Muslims are here in the first place, when there were virtually none before 1960. The neo"con" game is to literally treat the "war on terror" like a game with a handicap: Keeping Muslims out in the first place would be too easy. No challenge, no fun, no material for idiot shows like "24", and most importantly: no excuse for preemptive quagmires, foreign adventures, "nation-building" scams, or a massive "security" state that tracks and spies and gropes American citizens and treats us all as potential terror suspects. So the game is, flood the USA with millions of Muslims, then try to nip the inevitable attacks in the bud. With millions of immigrants belonging to an inherently violent, intolerant, aggressive, oppressive religion, a large percentage of whom therefore support Sharia and Jihad (even many "moderates" sympathize with terrorists - and breed them), it's impossible to stop all the attacks. But the few attacks that slip through keep Americans on our toes, eagerly bent over for more "security", preemptive quagmires, foreign adventures, corrupt "nation-building" scams, and a bigger Military Industrial Complex. Doctor's Orders! And the neo"cons" can say we need to bring in even more Muslims to help us "fight" the "war on terror" and foil "homegrown" attacks by the Muslims they already brought in. Finally the icing on the caca, Republicans get "cheap labor", PC-whipped neo"con" prostitutes like David Petraeus can sell their souls, Democrats get future votes and accelerated, irreversible "multicultural" terraforming. Win-win-win!
What do you think, "conservatives"? Grover?

And Another One Bites the Dust
My articles continue to be removed from the Google News feed. Removed as in they were originally there and either an algorithm or a person decided to take them down.
The Monday story about the Third Circuit affirming the district court in the Watson machine gun case was posted in the news feed within moments of being published and remained there through yesterday. Today it is gone.
This was the handicap we operated under all through Fast and Furious. If it doesn't come from the "Authorized Journalists," the system is rigged to keep original investigative reporting and analysis contained.
Just to reiterate, as the dilemma seemed to cause some confusion last post: Yes, I know it still appears on Google. I'm talking about the "News" category marked by a tab. That's the place stories recognized as newsworthy are aggregated, providing a distinct advantage in terms of being noticed and picked up by other outlets and people looking for media sources as opposed to sources that don't meet the content guideline and authorship criteria.

No Way to Treat a Lady
A fifth grade teacher at Gresham-Barlow school in Oregon who was born a female, but transgendered into a male, won a $60,000 pay-off from the district after complaining of being called a “lady” and referred to as “she” in a harassing manner by fellow educators. [More]They're lucky they weren't in New York City -- it could have been several times that much just in "Human Rights Commission" fines.

As Good as It Gets
The Republican governor said in a veto message that the bill would place "redundant restrictions on firearms ownership while ignoring the larger problem of domestic violence." Current law requires officers to seize a person's weapons when there is probable cause to believe the person has committed domestic violence, said Christie, who vetoed a version of the bill last year. [More]It would be nice if his veto message had mentioned rights, but I guess in New Jersey, certain realities are going to prevail for the foreseeable future.

Stay Classy, Kerodin
'Pssst!? Hey, Red Mikey, can you still smell your taint on my 'stache from last night?' [More]Sheltered me: I actually hadn't run across that word before and had to look it up. Juvenile and vulgar, which is about what I'd expect. And to do it while Mike is dying reveals all anyone should care to know about this creature Kerodin's character.
That's why I'm posting this. I've purposely stayed out of their public feuding and even though I'm Mike's friend have left Kerodin alone because I believe a man should fight his own battles (except for one time to point out that Kerodin telling Glenn Beck he would follow unconstitutional disarmament laws contradicted his blog posturing). Plus, I didn't see anything Mike couldn't handle. But he is no longer in any condition to expend precious remaining energy properly defending himself, so I will presume to speak for my friend this once.
That picture was taken at the 2011 NRA Annual Meeting. I know, because my brother-in-law and I took Mike to Pittsburgh. Contrary to Kerodin's obscene insinuation of a relationship, this was a chance photo taken at an exhibitor booth. I had no idea who the other person Kerodin accuses of being a "White Supremacist Employee of the State" was until I did a photo search.
That would be this gentleman here: Pretty impressive CV. It turns out he was at the booth because he was "helping a buddy." It also turns out that he later became a Kerodin supporter who had "a blow up" with Mike over that. And it turns out he later had a change of heart and said he "should not have believed Kerodin’s BS [and] Mike was gracious enough to accept my apology, and that was that."
That pretty much tracks with Wirecutter's experience. I guess hell hath no fury like a Kerodin scorned.
There's one other thing I'm going to point out: I'm continuing to get trolling comments reveling in "Red Mike's" cancer, wishing an agonizing death on him, and taunting that the only good commie is a dead commie. Most I don't allow. I have called attention to a few just to illustrate that only a sadistic coward with irreparable mental problems would obsess over doing that. And I can't help but note a main instigator of that sentiment, again having this permanently posted while Mike is preparing to pass:

BIPARTISAN VICTORY!!! [More]
You know, for the place that's not even a state and is dominated by the New Progressive Party and the Popular Democratic Party...
Dang, that's exciting news! Just the other day, I was agonizing over Puerto Rican debt restructuring, and wondering if he'd ever be able to keep that promise to Nancy Pelosi.
Great work on all our behalf, Mr. Speaker!

At today's panel, government health officials said they are concerned about local transmission of Zika if travelers spread the virus to mosquitoes in the U.S., which can then infect other people who have not traveled to countries with Zika epidemics. [More]Rigorous!
Not that Opposite Day "progressives" will allow the right thing to be done. Never let a crisis go to waste, right? And if there is no crisis, do what you can to cultivate situations with potential to create desperate masses looking for someone to give control to.
Interesting way to describe the infected. I wonder how many were one-way "travelers," following the Democrat Voter/Cheap Labor Pathway in.

'Roots' Reborn: How a Slave Saga Was Remade for the Black Lives Matter Era [More]Stoke those grievances! What's the worst that could happen?
I remember during the LA riots, MTV played a rock video where some white guy in what I recall as a white tux and top hat was whipping a black man in a barn. Just the thing to gin up the racism and provoke at the time when things were already at a breaking point.
Anybody think there aren't people pulling strings who know exactly what they're doing?
Just note that most of the action is going to occur in "progressive"-occupied territory. That means if you can, avoid it. If you can't, don't be Reginald Denny.
