The Texas State Board of Education had been considering dropping ex-Presidential candidate (among other accomplishments) Hillary Clinton (D) from its social studies curriculum. Last Tuesday, the board voted 12-2 (plus one abstention) to keep her in the curriculum, for now. The two nay voters had their reasons.
I just do not respect the woman. As far as I’m concerned, she’s done a lot of detrimental things to our country.
And
The Benghazi thing did it for me.
The terms include these, via Deutsche Welle:
All of which negate one of the motives for leaving the European Union. EU citizens resident in the UK will be magnets for drawing in others for the UK’s generous welfare system—and EU citizens still will be able to seek work in the UK preferentially, availing themselves both of the UK’s higher wage rates and that welfare system.
Many in the medical profession have gotten their panties in wads because, on the matter of guns and gun rights, someone was impertinent enough to suggest that they’re really not that expert. The National Rifle Association, it turns out, had demurred from an American College of Physicians paper calling for ways to keep guns out of the hands of people who are a threat—with “threat,” of course, defined by the ACP.
Recall CNN‘s Jim Acosta striking a White House intern (albeit lightly) and actively preventing her from doing her job. In consequence of that, the White House suspended Acosta’s accesses to the White House.
Now CNN is suing the White House to get Acosta’s credentials back. They’re doing it, too, on the risible grounds that the suspension violates Acosta’s 1st and 5th Amendment rights of free speech and due process.
Sure.
It’s what porch dogs do. The current noise-making is from Progressive-Democrats objecting to Matthew Whitaker having been appointed Acting Attorney General after Jeff Sessions’ resignation at the request of President Donald Trump.
A number of lawmakers called upon Whitaker to recuse from the Russia probe, citing his criticism of the investigation.
Some years ago, Whitaker expressed some opinions about the investigation of which these Progressive-Democrats disapprove, and so they want him to recuse himself from the Mueller investigation. Because anyone who, at any time, has said anything of which those folks disapprove is automatically disqualified for any government job.
Liberal shenanigans in New York during the week before this week’s midterm elections:
Laura Ebert, an economics professor at the State University of New York (SUNY) at New Paltz, was charged with misdemeanor larceny for stealing signs supporting Republican candidates….
She’s making excuses and spinning her misbehavior.
Ebert said she was caught in a moment of weakness and high emotion and meant no harm to McGovern nor did she know she lived there.
“I have family I love that support Trump, so I was after the sign, not the person. I have apologized and feel bad, but clearly the GOP is putting a big deal [of] spin on this.”
The ramp-up in political spending across Facebook’s social networks, which also include Instagram, is breathtaking: In 2014, digital ad spending was 1% of all political ad spending. Now it’s 22%, or about $1.9 billion, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Facebook says that politicians have spent nearly $300 million in the US on Facebook ads since May.
And
Politicians who want to reach the same voters their competitors are reaching on Facebook have little choice but to go there, too.
Which helps explain why Facebook was so willing to censor conservative political ads.
Go vote. Speak your piece at the ballot box.
Double check your ballot, too, before you hit the CAST BALLOT button; electronic machines are capable of glitches.
Don’t make excuses; take the time. Have your say.
(See nearby.) Republican candidate for Senator from Tennessee Marsha Blackburn has had her campaign ad censored by Google:
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to show your ads on Google, our search partners, or on Display Network placements until you edit your ads or keywords to make them compliant with our policies….
Here are the ads Google says is inappropriate.
It seems it’s a violation of Google’s policies to depict the Left in an unfavorable light.
This is the nature of “free” speech to which we can look forward if the Progressive-Democrats succeed next week or in 2020 or later elections.
There is a nascent movement, the #WalkAway movement, that for the last five months has been urging those disgruntled with the Progressive-Democratic Party to leave the party and form a different one.
Some said the Democratic Party has become hate-filled and hostile to opposing points of view while moving further to the left. Others say they were tired of the party’s “politically correct” culture.
The movement appears to have gained steam from the Kavanaugh hearing travesty.
