First of all, is “handicapped” even a thing anymore?
Aren’t we saying “disabled,” or “challenged” now?
All Blacks are obviously not physically “handicapped,” so the University of Princeton must be referring to a mental type of disability here.
I wonder how most Black people actually feel about this designation?
I know some Black people could care less, as long they get something for free out of it, but I believe most self-respecting Blacks would take issue at this.
Hannah Grossman of Fox News reports that, “A Princeton anti-capitalist class is teaching Black people should be considered handicapped due to systemic racism.”
“The curriculum claimed Black Lives Matter activism was a ‘disability justice’ movement.”
“A Princeton University class curriculum slated for the upcoming fall semester claims that Black people can be considered ‘disabled’ due to the purported systemic racism they face, according to information in a course description.”
I know absolutely nothing about this “professor,” or the creator(s) of this course, but I am 100% willing to wager they are not Black themselves.
“A class taught by a professor who specializes in women, gender and sexuality studies, Satyel Larson, featured a book called ‘Permission to Maim.’ The book argues that Black people, along with other groups the author, Jasbir Puar, deemed to be oppressed by systemic racism, can be considered ‘disabled’ since the supposed structures in place limit their agency in society.”
Bingo. Looks like I was right again.
“‘Black Lives Matter and the struggle to end the Israeli occupation of Palestine are not only movements “allied” with disability rights, nor are they only distinct disability justice issues. Rather, I am motivated to think of these fierce organizing practices collectively as a disability justice movement itself, as a movement that is demanding an end to so many conditions of precaritization that debilitate many populations,’ the book stated.”
Say what?
Anyone for a little ranch dressing with that word salad?
“‘These movements may not represent the most appealing or desired versions of disability pride. But they are movements anchored, in fact, in the lived experiences of debilitation, implicitly contesting the right to maim, and imagining multiple futures where bodily capacities and debilities are embraced rather than weaponized,’ it continued.”
Although the professor and the author were not the ones actually living the experiences they are teaching and writing about.
Please proceed.
“The course aims to ‘decolonize’ students’ modalities of thinking. The description focused on concepts steeped in critical race theory and webbed in ‘capitalism’ as on the same plane as the mistreatment, discrimination and prejudice against gay people, also called ‘homophobia.’”
Oh no! We don’t want to be capitalist racist homophobes!
That’s the democrat trifecta of being politically incorrect!
The white supremacist part just goes without saying, of course.
“‘Re-orienting healing as a decolonizing process enables students to re-politicize personal trauma as it intersects with global legacies of violence, war, racism, slavery, patriarchy, colonialism, orientalism, homophobia, ableism, capitalism, and extractivism,’ the course description said.”
All of which are served-up to students from the liberal biased academic point of view.
“This description refers to a term called ‘intersectionality’ which holds that an individual can be oppressed by numerous groups simultaneously.”
Really?
You don’t say.
“‘The course participates in a new project to help illuminate how the humanities itself can offer new paths to understanding trauma and healing,’ it continued.”
Brilliant. Who else would, or could?
“Princeton and Larson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”
Hmmm, that’s odd.
“Satyel Larson is a Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. Larson’s research specialties included, ‘the intersections of law, science, women, gender and sexuality; reproduction, health and medicine; Islam and secularism; colonialism, postcolonialism and globality.”
And she’s teaching a self-described “anti-capitalist” class?
Does she have any kind of economic credentials to warrant this?
Well, she can at least add race baiting to her resume now!

Prophetic lyrics from the song “Another Brick in The Wall” by the band Pink Floyd (1979. That’s 44 years ago!):
“We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave us kids alone!
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.”
So, who’s “another brick in the wall,” and what’s “the wall?”
In my mind, “the wall” is the metaphorical “wall,” or political construct, of misinformation, disinformation, and the promotion of an anti-constitutional, fascist, government.
Also, in my opinion, you’re currently “a brick” in that “wall,” if you (in no particular order)…:
…Condone schools indoctrinating our children towards a particular political activism
…Condone teachers and schools acting behind the backs of parents
…Condone the democrat weaponization of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
…Believe it was okay for the FBI to raid, with over a couple dozen heavily armed agents, former President Trump’s home, but not the homes, or offices of our current president, or other former presidents
…Believe law-abiding and responsible gun owners should be disarmed, while believing criminals will follow any type of additional gun laws
…Believe that “climate change” is the biggest problem we currently face
…Believe that our government generally tells us the truth
…Believe that the mainstream media generally tells us the truth
…Believe that Covid-19 mandates really “followed the science,” were justified, and that it was a pandemic of the unvaccinated
…Believe that there is no problems with our current election systems, procedures, and accountability
…Believe that criminals have more rights than law-abiding citizens, and that they deserve to be released again, and again, and again to repeatedly victimize innocent citizens
…Believe pedophilia (the sexual abuse of children) is an acceptable lifestyle choice
…Condone the abortion of (the ruthless and brutal killing of) babies right up to the moment of birth (which currently occurs about 3,000 times a day)
…Promote divisive racism, and use racism as an explanation for virtually every problem we face as a country
…Are willing to commit economic suicide here at home, in an effort to weaken our world standing
…Believe that allowing millions and millions of illegal immigrants to flood our country is acceptable
…Don’t support the continued construction of an actual wall along our southern border
…Believe it is acceptable for our country to provide a multitude of benefits to illegal immigrants, while we already have a severe homeless problem, and a dereliction of our responsibilities to our veterans
…Don’t really believe most of these things, but promote this evil ideology for monetary gain anyway
I’m sure I have left out many additional reasons one could be considered a “brick in the wall.” If you’d like to add to the discussion, please leave me a comment, which myself and others reading the blog could consider.
I hope you’re not a “brick.”
If you think you might be, remember, it’s never too late to walk away from the “dark side.”
It is all of our duties to continue to fight against the construction off this metaphorical “wall,” and to fight against the “bricklayers” who continuously try and keep building it.
I know it can get tiring at times, but these “bricklayers” never take a day, or an hour, or even a minute off, so we can’t either.
Please note that anyone from technically any political party can be a “brick in the wall,” but that these characteristics are typically in-line with the democrat party ideology and narrative.

And, of course, the “Milley” I’m referring to here is Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, under “President” Joe Biden.
It’s funny, but you can find many references to General Milley in many dictionaries.
For instance, if you look up the word “turd,” you’ll see a picture of General Milley.
Likewise, if you look up the word “loser,” there you’ll see Milley again.
Go to Thesaurus.com, type in “Milley,” and you’ll see a list of synonyms there, which include: impostor, Judas, turncoat, treasonist, Benedict Arnold, flunkee, failure, puppet, tool, scoundrel, and rat.
If you’ll recall, regarding his participation in President Trump’s walk from the White House to St. John’s Church the day after rioters attempted to burn it down, General Milley stated, “I should not have been there. My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics. As a commissioned uniformed officer, it was a mistake that I have learned from.”
If I’m not mistaken, General Milley, President Trump was the commander in chief of all the military at that time.
So really, as a commissioned officer, it was your duty to do what your commanding officer requested you to do.
Isn’t that right, General?
Or, are you okay with officers and soldiers under your command opting to do whatever they feel is right, while undermining their commanders’ wishes?
Just sayin’.
Alex Horton, of The Washington Post, reports that, “Milley defends military, open-mindedness amid ‘woke’ allegations.”
“Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave a fiery response to criticism from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) of the military’s handling of race.”
‘“I want to understand White rage,’ Milley said”
‘“And I’m White.’”
Thank you Captain Obvious!
Or, should I say General Obvious?
Could you share some other obvious adjectives describing yourself, like obese, butt ugly, or embarrassing perhaps?
“Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, admonished lawmakers over questions about critical race theory at a Wednesday hearing, saying it is important for leaders to be well-versed in many schools of thought.”
‘“I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist,’ Milley told the House Armed Services Committee.’”
No, that alone does not make you a communist, General, but it’s quite obvious you’re well on your way!
‘“So what is wrong with understanding … the country which we are here to defend?’ Milley asked.”
Nothing wrong with that at all, General, but if you think critical race theory is a good way of accomplishing that, then that’s where we part ways.
Critical Race Theory (CRT), here we go with teaching theories as facts again, says we are all predisposed to our beliefs, social standings, and economic standings by the color of our skin.
By definition, this is a very racist perspective, and completely at odds with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who believed we should all be judged by the content of our character, and not by the color of our skin.
“Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) criticized reports that the U.S. Military Academy at West Point teaches a course involving the theory, which broadly explores the idea that racism reaches beyond individual prejudice and affects minorities at the institutional level, particularly in criminal justice.”
And what about CRT training that is being inflicted upon troops that are already in the field? They aren’t opting to “study” this crap…, they’re having it shoved down their throats.
“A guest lecturer at the academy included phrases such as ‘White rage,’ Waltz claimed, and he pressed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the nation’s first Black Pentagon chief, to investigate further.”
“Soon after, when the committee gave Milley a chance to expand, he launched into an impassioned defense of inquiry about U.S. society and its racial dynamics.”
What about all that “not wanting to get involved with politics” talk, General?
“He emphasized that the U.S. Military Academy is a university.”
Only the questionable part.
‘“I want to understand White rage. And I’m White,’ Milley said, focused on learning more about the mostly White, mostly male mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.”
Now that’s a little offensive, General, regarding your gender references I mean!
‘“What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America. What caused that?’ Milley asked. ‘I want to find that out.’”
Is that all, General?
Well I can help you out with that.
What caused thousands of people to storm the capitol was a belief that the presidential election had just been stolen by the democrats, and nobody was going to do anything about it.
Which it was, and which nobody did.
“Milley said he was offended that critics, among them GOP lawmakers and right-wing commentators like Fox News host Tucker Carlson, have accused the military of being ‘woke or something else because we’re studying some theories that are out there.’”
Aww, General Milley is offended.
You’ll get over it.

According to David Aaro of Fox News, “Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said Sunday the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. ‘shone a bright light on our own society’s failings’ in how the virus impacted minority communities.”
“Fauci stated that ‘the undeniable effects of racism’ have led to unacceptable health disparities that especially hurt African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans during the pandemic.”
And those “unacceptable health disparities” sure haven’t been aided by the Biden administration shipping untested migrants all over the country, spreading the virus to these very communities.
It’s funny we haven’t heard Fauci or the CDC issue any recommendations regarding the processing, holding, and distribution of these people all over our country.
I wonder why that is?
There wouldn’t be any political reasons overriding science and public safety, would there?
There obviously are.
“President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser made the comments during an online commencement address for an Emory University graduation ceremony Sunday.”
“He told the graduates in Atlanta that many members of minority groups work in essential jobs where they might be exposed to the novel coronavirus.”
Really, Fauci?
I believe that many members of ALL racial groups “work in essential jobs where they might be exposed to the novel coronavirus.”
“He noted they are more likely to become infected if exposed because of medical conditions such as hypertension, chronic lung disease, diabetes, or obesity.”
You calling Blacks and Hispanics fat, Fauci?
I think you are. I think you are calling Blacks and Hispanics fatsos, Fauci!
But, you’re a democrat, and a supposed medical “expert,” so, no problemo.
‘“Now, very few of these comorbidities have racial determinants,’ Fauci said.”
No, actually, you just got done saying the opposite, Fauci. You said these minority groups are “more likely to become infected if exposed because of medical conditions such as hypertension, chronic lung disease, diabetes, or obesity.”
So, which is it, Fauci?
You’re not very good at this political stuff, are you, Fauci?
In fact, it seems you’re not very good at scientific or medical stuff either!
‘“Almost all relate to the social determinants of health dating back to disadvantageous conditions that some people of color find themselves in from birth regarding the availability of an adequate diet, access to health care, and the undeniable effects of racism in our society,’ he continued.”
You can see now why it’s hard to “follow the science” with Fauci. When you cross a political hack with a scientific hack, the results are never good.
If there are any “disadvantageous conditions that some people find themselves in from birth regarding the availability of an adequate diet, access to health care,” it’s because of socioeconomic situations, not racism.
“Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called racism a ‘serious’ threat to public health. The CDC said COVID-19 was felt, most severely, in communities of color, areas that have also ‘experienced disproportionate case counts and deaths.’”
Isn’t “racism” a “serious threat” to absolutely everything?
Why would we expect this to be any different?
We also see “communities of color” experiencing “disproportionate” crime rates, shooting rates, and murder rates.
The democrats’ answer to these situations is to defund and abolish the police.
That’s about as helpful as wearing masks…, actually less so.
‘“Confronting the impact of racism will not be easy,’ the CDC’s director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, said in a statement on the agency’s website.”
That Dr. Walensky is soooo wise.
She is a doctor, after all.
‘“I know that we can do this if we work together. I certainly hope you will lean in and join me.’”
Join you in doing what?
Join you in being stupid and being a democrat tool?
No thanks.
“On Sunday, Fauci said that correcting the societal wrong will take a commitment of decades, and he urged graduates to be part of the solution. Once society returns to ‘some form of normality,’ he said.”
You mean your socialistic form of normality, don’t you?
May I suggest the first thing we should do to “correct this societal wrong,” would be to fire you and then charge you with the murder of millions of people around the world, since are responsible for the development of the virus.
Please see my blog, “Is Fauci responsible for the virus?” for some reference to that last opinion:
But…, instead of being investigated, “Fauci was also awarded the Emory University president’s medal Sunday.”
As is becoming tradition for mass murdering democrats, ala Governor Fredo Cuomo, instead of going to jail they get awards. Isn’t that nice?
“Accepting the award, Fauci praised the graduates for or handling the profound disruption of the pandemic.”
‘“Societal divisiveness is counterproductive in a pandemic,’ Fauci said. ‘We must not be at odds with each other since the virus is the enemy, not each other.’”
Like I mentioned before, don’t try and deflect blame onto a virus that wouldn’t have even existed without your help!
‘“Not since the influenza pandemic of 1918 has humanity faced a public health crisis of this magnitude,’ he continued.”
You’re a regular “modern day Dr. Mengele” there, Fauci! It sounds like you’re proud of your accomplishment as well.
Well, you did manage to sabotage the election for President Trump, save us all from four more years of freedom, prosperity, and respect around the world!

What we had here was one, or both of the black girls involved, calling 911 so the “blacks killing cops” would come to save her from another black girl who was trying to stab her.
Then…,
The racist, blacks hating, cop saves the one black girl’s life by shooting the other black girl.
I wonder why, if Ma’khia Bryant was one of the ones who called 911, she wouldn’t put her knife down and let the cops handle it from there?
Didn’t she realize the cops could not just stand by while she stabbed the other girl?
And as far as the girl who was getting attacked by Ma’khia goes, I just wonder if she’ll defend the police officer who saved her life, or throw him under the bus?
I’m guessing she’ll end up saying she wanted help, but she didn’t want the other girl to be shot.
I’m guessing she’ll say she would have preferred the cop to have stepped in between them and taken the knife for her.
That’s all well and good, but doesn’t this cop have a right to go home after his shift?
Doesn’t his family, girlfriend, or wife, and kids, have a right to have their husband or dad come home after his shift?
Cops swear “to serve and protect,” not to be sacrificial lambs.
I’m guessing this girl will end up joining the mob, calling for this officer’s head.
I hope I’m wrong.
We’ll see.
I have to ask the question, though…, why doesn’t LeBron James, his liberal elite friends, the mainstream “fake news” media, democrat politicians, and other useful idiots, get upset about the hundreds of black people who are shot and killed every weekend, in our big, liberal-run cities, by other blacks?
This situation is one hundred times worse than their police concerns.
I guess black lives really don’t matter to them, unless those lives can be used to promote their racist, and divisive, narrative.
This is not to say that police officers shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions…, I’m just saying we should not ignore the bigger problem.
And again, I just have to mention, the next day we had pictures of this cop and knew who he was, while the identity of unarmed Ashli Babbitt’s Capitol police officer killer, from 01/06/21, still has not been released.
Different strokes for politically different folks.

According to Shalise Manza Young, of Yahoo Sports, “Brett Favre’s bleating about politics in sports is rank with privilege, ignorance and hypocrisy.”
Brett Favre, of course, is the former NFL quarterback, and Hall of Famer, who played for the Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, and the Minnesota Vikings.
Before I start hammering you, regarding your idiotic comments, Shalise, are you related to Androgynous Pat?”
Just wondering.
Well, anyway, let’s get back to Shalise Manza Young’s comments.
“One of the things about being in this position is that you have to do your best to be fair. Journalism shouldn’t be a lack of objectivity, because that’s impossible; every human approaches a story through their lens, colored by their experiences. It should be about fairness.”
Wait, what?
Did she just say, “It should be about fairness?”
Fairness, yes…, and also peoples’ rights to have their own opinions.
To wit: Writers love interview subjects who are fun, frank, even unpredictable. We want people to say what’s on their mind because it makes for better stories.”
It also makes it easier for you and your kind to beat people over the head you don’t agree with…, right Sharise?
“But as a human being, seeing Brett Favre still bleating the same privileged, narrow-minded, anti-Black rhetoric makes my blood boil.”
How do you get “privileged, narrow-minded, anti-Black rhetoric” out of his “frank” opinion, which everyone has a right to, except in “Shariseland,” apparently?
“In theory, journalists or not, we’re all supposed to be trying to do a better job listening to people with different opinions than us, so hushing someone should be verboten.”
Bingo!
“Racism isn’t a difference of opinion, though, like whether or not pineapple should be on pizza (answer: yes).”
Just for the record, that’s worse than racism in my opinion!
“Repeating myths that have been disproven time and again isn’t right or fair. Being a blatant hypocrite makes it worse.”
Well, I guess you oughta know, Sharise.
“So here we are.”
Truer words were never spoken.
“On Sunday, Favre made comments on a radio show once again lamenting players who don’t look like him using their right as free citizens to express their opinion and try to shine a light on the continued, often violent injustices faced by non-white, non-heterosexual, non-cisgendered people every day.”
Just to be clear, Favre never said anything about what the players looked like that he was talking about. He only talked about the actions of certain players, without regard to the color of their skin.
The rest of it you just hung on him to suit your racist point of view.
“He called athletes kneeling during the anthem ‘a shame’ and wondered why ‘standing patriotically’ for a piece of fabric isn’t the great unifier he believes it should be.”
You’re the one crying about people not being able to use their right as free citizens to express their opinion…, but that doesn’t include Brett Favre I guess.
“He intimated once again that he doesn’t want politics in sports, as if politics haven’t been part of sports in this country for at least a century.”
As an avid sports fan most of my life, I really don’t recall politics being infused into sports that much, or at all, until the last few years.
I’m not sure where you’re getting your information from, Sharise. I’m guessing you’re just making that up to fit your narrative, like most “reporters” do these days.
“Favre said, ‘When I turn on a game, I want to watch a game. I want to watch players play and teams win, lose, come from behind. I want to watch all the important parts of the game, not what’s going on outside of the game.’”
BINGO!
THANK YOU.
“We should all patiently wait for Favre to produce video of an NFL player stopping a live game to discuss police brutality, the troubling racial disparities in maternal mortality, or the continued scourge of redlining and its impact on Black families.”
“Not a single one has. They’ve worn T-shirts during warmups and kneeled or raised fists during the pre-kickoff anthem. They’ve shared their perspectives after games or in the locker room on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, when the games were days away.”
“What Favre is saying is that he wants the politics he doesn’t agree with, and the concerns of Black players and their community, to not have to enter his consciousness. Because he, as a white man, does not have to care about their concerns.”
NO…, WHAT HE’S SAYING IS WHEN PEOPLE TUNE INTO A FOOTBALL GAME, OR WHATEVER GAME, THEY’RE TURNING IT ON FOR ENTERTAINMENT, AND AS AN ESCAPE FROM ALL OF THE CRAP IN THEIR LIVES, WHICH INCLUDES POLITICS AND POLITICAL TURMOIL. AND THAT INCLUDES FANS OF ALL RACES I BELIVE.
If we turn on a game and get smacked in the face with political issues of the day, then what’s the point? Where’s the escape. Where’s the entertainment?
There have been quite a few games, I’ve personally tuned into, that wanted me to watch some race related “lesson,” which I immediately turned off.
Then, yes, we have to see t-shirts with political messages on them, and “victims” names on helmets and uniforms, along with “woke” messages on uniforms and on the fields and courts themselves.
I’m sorry, but many of us just want a break from all of this.
If these sports don’t want to afford us this one luxury, then we’re out. We’ll find something else to watch or do.
Nobody begrudges an athlete’s right to be an activist for any cause, but please, do it on your own time, not your customers’ time.
“If you want proof that is how Favre feels, look no further than his Oct. 30, 2020 tweet, when he told the world he’d be voting for Donald Trump in the coming election, listing ‘freedom of speech’ as one of the reasons why.”
There’s the reason for Sharise’s attack!
Brett Favre committed the ultimate sin of saying he supports Donald Trump!
“What’s more political — and hypocritical — than that?” She continues.
“What’s more privileged than telling others to shut up to appease you?”
Like Maxine Waters did to Jim Jordan in that congressional hearing?
Like that?
Like you said, “What’s more political — and hypocritical — than that?”
“Even the NFL, which isn’t exactly a beacon of equity and anti-racist behavior, has come out in support of the notion that Black lives matter and gave players the green light to protest during the anthem through commissioner Roger Goodell’s statement last summer and actions during the 2020 season.”
Yes…, by all means, let’s not fail to contribute to Black Lives Matter (BLM)! We wouldn’t want the founding Marxists of BLM to have to sacrifice any of their multi-million dollar homes, would we?
“Maybe he [Favre] would have understood a small fraction of what it means to be Black, why nearly every political decision made here for 400 years, before this was even America, has been made with our degradation and marginalization in mind. Maybe he would understand why players kneel.”
Your level of confusion is quite impressive, Shalise!
It’s not about understanding…, it’s about his and all of ours’ right to not give a sh*t…, at least for the few hours it takes to watch a game.
Please, don’t take out your racial, political, sexual or gender or whatever frustrations out on Brett Favre.
He’s allowed to feel however he wants to feel, and so is everyone else.

During “President” Biden’s town hall, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Tuesday night, Biden demonstrated, again, his TRUE perception of black and brown people.
And good luck finding an article about his regrettable comments, because it doesn’t exist.
These remarks were apparently deemed to be unimportant, not worth reporting, and something to be ignored by the mainstream media.
Remember, if they don’t report it, it didn’t really happen.
I bet they only wish former President Trump had said something as stupid!
Now that would have been a story!
I can only comment about these remarks because I heard them.
Thankfully, Newsweek provided a complete transcript of the town hall meeting, otherwise I would have to rely completely on my memory.
As reported by Newsweek, “President Joe Biden spoke to CNN’s Anderson Cooper at a town hall meeting hosted by CNN in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Tuesday.”
“Biden discussed a range of topics, from when every American will be able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and the end of the pandemic, to being ‘tired of talking about Donald Trump’ while answering questions from Cooper and members of the audience.”
It was when Biden was taking questions from the audience that he let his true feelings be known.
“AUDIENCE MEMBER: God bless you. Mr. President, hello. My name is Dr. Dessie Levy. And my question to you is considering COVID 19 and its significant impact on black Americans, especially here in Milwaukee and thus, the exacerbation of our racial disparities in health care, we have seen less than three percent of blacks and less than five percent of Hispanics given the total number of vaccines that have been administered to this point.”
“Is this a priority for the Biden administration? And how will the disparities be addressed? And that’s both locally and nationally.”
“BIDEN: Well, first of all, it is a priority, number one. Number two, there’s two reasons for it being the way it is. Number one, there is some history of blacks being used as guinea pigs in other experiments as I need not tell you, Doctor, over the last 50 to 75 to 100 years in America. So, there is a concern about getting the vaccine whether it’s available or not. But the biggest part of this is access –”
“AUDIENCE MEMBER: Mm-hmm.”
“BIDEN: — physical access. That’s why last week I opened up, I met with the Black Caucus in the United States Congress and agreed that I would — all of the — all of community health centers now, which take care of the toughest of the toughest neighborhoods in terms of illness, they are going to get a million doses, you know, a week, and how we’re going to move forward because they’re in the neighborhood.”
“Secondly, we have opened up — and I’m making sure that there’s doses of vaccine for over 6,700 pharmacies because almost everyone lives within — not always walking distance, but within the distance of being able to go to the pharmacy like when you got your flu shot. That is also now being opened.”
Unless your local pharmacy happened to be burned down during the peaceful protests last year!
“BIDEN: Thirdly, I also am providing for mobile — mobile vans, mobile units to go into neighborhoods that are hard to get to because people are — for example, even though everyone is within, you know, basically five miles of a Walgreen’s, let’s say, the fact is if you’re 70 years old, you don’t have a vehicle and you live in a tough neighborhood, meaning, you’re — it’s a high concentration of COVID, you’re not likely to be able to walk five miles to go get a vaccine.”
By a “tough neighborhood,” you mean a neighborhood where the police are being defunded and forced to operate with one hand tied behind their backs?
“BIDEN: The other thing we found is – I’m sorry to go on, but this is really important to me — the other part — portion is a lot of people don’t know how to register. Not everybody in the community, in the Hispanic and the African-American community, particularly in rural areas that are distant and/or inner-city districts know how to use — know how to get online to determine how to get in line for that COVID vaccination at the Walgreen’s or at the particular store.”
Wait, whaaaat?!
Did you really have to qualify these remarks around the African-American and Hispanic communities?
So, African-Americans and Hispanics don’t know how to use their phone or a computer and get on the internet?
Is that what you’re saying, Illegitimate Joe?
Because it seems like that’s what you’re saying.
“BIDEN: So, we’re also – I’ve committed to spend a billion dollars on public education to help people figure out how they can get in there.”
So, you’ve committed A BILLION DOLLARS to show “these people,” people of color, how to get on to the internet?
Wow…, it must be harder than I thought!
Hey, Joe, I got it…, maybe you can hire some white people to shown them how it’s done?!
How about those people you kicked off the XL Pipeline?
But only the whiteys, of course.
And where is this intense training going to take place, Joe?
Will you have to build training centers?
And how long will the training be?
You know, the training to have the person press or click on the Google icon?
It may take a while for these African-Americans and Hispanics to catch on, you know.
“BIDEN: So, it’s all about trying to more rationalize in detail so ordinary people like me can understand, I mean that sincerely. I mean, my grandchildren can use that online, you know, make me look like I’m, you know, the seventh century, but all kidding aside. This is a process. And it’s going to take time.”
I am more than willing to put “all kidding aside,” Joe, but this really isn’t funny.
In fact, it’s quite sad.
YOU are quite sad.
And you don’t have to convince me that you’re operating as if you were from the seventh century either!

According to the KUSI Newsroom (a local San Diego TV station), “San Francisco may remove President Abraham Lincoln’s name from a high school because some in the district say Abraham Lincoln did not demonstrate that “black lives mattered to him.”
Wait, what?!
“If you did not know, the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, abolished slavery.”
I think we all know that, unless you went to school in California, apparently.
“Lincoln was also assassinated for it.”
Again, I think we all know that, unless you went to school in California, apparently.
Are these people in San Francisco all on drugs, or are they all just idiots?
The answer, I believe, is “yes.”
“The San Francisco Chronicle reported, ‘Lincoln is one of dozens of historical figures who the city school district’s renaming committee argued led lives so rife with racism, oppression or abuse that their names should not grace its buildings.’”
“Their names should not grace their buildings?!”
I would vote to have Abraham Lincoln’s name removed because he doesn’t deserve to be associated with this embarrassment of a city!
“The SFUSD [San Francisco Unified School District] School Names Advisory Committee’s discussion on the name was made public on YouTube.”
Jill Tucker, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports that, “Abraham Lincoln, once a hero, is now a bad guy in some S.F. education circles.”
“Abraham Lincoln, an iconic American hero, could soon be an outcast in San Francisco, his legacy called into question and his name ripped off a high school.”
“Lincoln is one of dozens of historical figures who, according to a school district renaming committee, lived a life so stained with racism, oppression or human rights violations, they do not deserve to have their name on a school building.”
“The debate reflects a nation in turmoil, a reckoning with a racist past that lingers today, toppling Confederate statues from town squares and eliminating a large number of Robert E. Lee street signs.”
Confederate statues and Robert E. Lee street signs are one thing…, and President Abraham Lincoln is a complete other thing.
‘“Uprooting the problematic names and symbols that currently clutter buildings, streets, throughout the city is a worthy endeavor,’ said Jeremiah Jeffries, chairman of the renaming committee and a first-grade teacher in San Francisco. ‘Only good can come from the public being reflective and intentional about the power of our words, names and rhetoric within our public institutions.’”
Again, apparently not.
The only “problematic” name I see here is “Jeremiah Jeffries.”
He should be dismissed and allowed to find work teaching in a fascist country elsewhere.
“But history is not always clear. People are complicated. Heroism and bravery can be obscured by beliefs and behaviors deemed abhorrent when viewed through a modern lens.”
Is “modern” a synonym for “neo-fascist” now?
“Was Lincoln one of the greatest presidents of all time who ended the country’s great shame or a whitewashed historic character with a questionable record related to Native Americans not worthy of memorials, school names and street signs?”
Let’s please recall that the Native Americans were a conquered people in America. Keeping that in mind, I feel they have been given ample consideration they would not have received from any other country.
“When the committee released the 44 school sites to be renamed, many made sense. Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe were slave owners, and Vasco Nunez Balboa was a murderous conquistador.”
I really don’t care about Balboa one way or the other…, San Francisco is the place that chose to name a school after him for some reason, but Jefferson and Monroe? Two of the founding fathers of our nation? And, yes, they may have owned slaves back then, but it was legal then, and over 200 years ago.
“But perhaps the most controversial name on the list was Lincoln. Honest Abe. The Great Emancipator.”
I would say having George Washington on that list is just as disgraceful, if not more so.
“His inclusion exemplifies the struggle in San Francisco and across the country to balance the good and the bad, in this case, the hero and the 19th century man with many faults.”
Please don’t try and pull the rest of the country into your liberal insanity.
And please, give me names of some people who don’t have any faults.
I’ll wait.
‘“I have so many reactions in the sense of looking at his entire record and the fact of what (Lincoln) did for Africans and slavery and the Emancipation Proclamation,’ said Sherry Black, who worked for more than 40 years in Native American economic and community development. ‘Considering the time period, it’s so difficult to understand how things were at the time. How do you make these decisions?’”
Pulling your head out of your backside would be a good start, Sherry.
“To many, Abraham Lincoln was one of the country’s greatest presidents, the Great Emancipator, a beloved historic figure as well as political mentor to his successors, including Barack Obama, who used the Lincoln Bible for his inauguration.”
Uh…, yeah.
I knew Obama was a closet racist! He’s half white you know!
“Yet the renaming of Lincoln High School was a slam dunk for the committee, which didn’t even discuss it, according to video of the meetings.”
A “slam dunk,” and they “didn’t even discuss it?!”
Okay…, that’s it! I’m officially requesting that California be thrown out of the union of states.
California should not be allowed to fly the American flag, and its citizens should not be considered “Americans.”
I mean, either you want to be a part of America or you don’t…, and California obviously doesn’t…, so, just get out then.
“The members of the committee, appointed by the school board, deemed whether a person’s actions or beliefs met the criteria for renaming, and moved on. The committee’s spreadsheet with notes on their research listed the federal treatment of Native Americans during his administration as the reason.”
Let’s take a look at this disgrace of a school board!
Mark Sanchez, School Board President
Gabriela Lopez, School Board VP
Alison Collins, Commissioner
Stevon Cook, Commissioner
Jenny Lam, Commissioner
Faauuga Moliga, Commissioner
Rachael Norton, Commissioner
These people were all elected by the city of San Francisco.
“The discussion for Lincoln centered around his treatment of First Nation peoples, because that was offered first,’ Jeffries said. ‘Once he met criteria in that way, we did not belabor the point.’”
Again, let’s please recall that the Native Americans were a conquered people in America. Keeping that in mind, I feel they have been given more than ample consideration that they would not have received from any other country.
“Jeffries, however, said the narrative of Lincoln’s legacy is false.”
Jeremiah Jeffries…, judge, jury and executioner.
He sure wields a lot of power for someone who teaches 6 year olds.
“Regardless of the pop culture myths of Lincoln and his motivations, the Civil War was not fought over slavery or the liberation of Black people, he said.”
Without President Lincoln, Jeffries would be in no position to even utter his “stupidness” at this point.
Just sayin’.
“The San Francisco School Names Advisory Committee used the following criteria to identify school names to be changed:
Anyone directly involved in the colonization of people
Slave owners or participants in enslavement
Perpetrators of genocide or slavery
Those who exploit workers/people
Those who directly oppressed or abused women, children, queer or transgender people [Does this include Joe Biden?]
Those connected to any human rights or environmental abuses
Those who are known racists and/or white supremacists and/or espoused racist beliefs.” [This would historically include most democrat politicians.]
“San Francisco’s district is considering changing the name of schools honoring the following people [this is really only about half of the school names being considered]:
Abraham Lincoln High School, U.S. president
George Washington High School, first U.S. president
Herbert Hoover Middle School, U.S. president
Roosevelt Middle School, Theodore or F.D., both U.S. presidents
Paul Revere K-8, American Revolution patriot
Alamo Elementary, the site of Texas Revolution battle
Garfield Elementary, James Garfield, U.S. president
Jefferson Elementary, Thomas Jefferson, U.S. president
Francis Scott Key Elementary, composer of ‘Star Spangled Banner’
Monroe Elementary, James Monroe, U.S. president
An unwritten criteria for this ignorant list, and the most important factor, apparently, is being a white male.
Just sayin’.
“For the renaming committee, [otherwise known as the “woke” Nazi propaganda ministry], one decision that met the criteria was enough.”
‘“We asked ourselves, did the name under consideration meet one or more of our criteria? If that name met criteria, they were put on the list,’ Jeffries said.”
“At the same time, labor leader Cesar Chavez didn’t make the list {He was not white.], despite his feelings toward undocumented immigrants, who he called ‘wetbacks’ and other derogatory names. He encouraged his supporters to report them to the authorities for deportation.”
And he was against illegal immigrants too!!!
How did he possibly survive their hit list?!
I’m telling you…, the white male criteria is the overriding factor.
“Jeffries said no one on the committee offered evidence that Chavez met the criteria. He did not say whether anyone on the committee looked for any.”
Alrighty then!
“The committee is expected to formally recommend renaming the 44 school sites in January, which will also include an alternative name chosen by Jeffries and the other members.”
“School communities have an opportunity to suggest a new name this month.”
Ooooh, I can’t wait to see what names they come up with!
Fidel Castro?
Karl Marx?
Vladimir Lenin?
Joseph Stalin?
Mao Zedong?
Don’t laugh…, I’m serious!
I’m sure Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, and Eric Swalwell are high on their list of replacement names.
Oh, wait…, Schiff and Swalwell are white…, we need to take them off the list!
“The school board is expected to vote on the recommendations early next year.”

Yes, it is a sad and unjust story, which you’ve probably never heard about.
According to the “All That’s Interesting” website, “The youngest person in the United States to ever be put to death in the electric chair was an African-American 14-year-old named George Stinney, Jr. He was executed in the Deep South in 1944, in the midst of the Jim Crow era.”
“George Stinney Jr. lived in the segregated mill town of Alcolu, South Carolina, where white people and black people were separated by railroad tracks. Stinney’s family lived in a humble company house — until they were forced to leave when the young boy was accused of killing two white girls.”
“It took a jury of white men 10 minutes to find Stinney guilty — and it would take 70 years before Stinney was exonerated.”
“In March 1944, Betty June Binnicker, 11, and Mary Emma Thames, 7, were riding their bicycles in Alcolu looking for flowers. When they saw Stinney and his younger sister Aime during their journey, they stopped and asked if they knew where to find maypops, the yellow edible fruit of passionflowers.”
“That was reportedly the last time the girls were seen alive.”
“Binnicker and Thames, who were white, never made it home that day. Their disappearance prompted hundreds of Alcolu residents, including Stinney’s father, to come together and search for the missing girls. It wasn’t until the next day when their dead bodies were discovered in a soggy ditch.”
“When Dr. Asbury Cecil Bozard examined their bodies, there was no clear sign of a struggle, but both girls had met violent deaths involving multiple head injuries.”
“Thames had a hole boring straight through her forehead into her skull, along with a two-inch-long cut above her right eyebrow. Meanwhile, Binnicker had suffered at least seven blows to the head. It was later noted that the back of her skull was ‘nothing but a mass of crushed bones.’”
“Bozard concluded that Binnicker and Thames had wounds that were likely caused by a ‘round instrument about the size of the head of a hammer.’”
“When Clarendon County law enforcement officers learned from a witness that Binnicker and Thames were seen talking to Stinney, they went to his home. There, George Stinney, Jr. was promptly handcuffed and interrogated for hours in a small room without his parents, an attorney, or any witnesses.”
“Police claimed that Stinney confessed to murdering Binnicker and Thames.”
“An officer named H.S. Newman wrote in a handwritten statement, ‘I arrested a boy by the name of George Stinney. He then made a confession and told me where to find a piece of iron about 15 inches long. He said he put it in a ditch about six feet from the bicycle.’”
“Newman refused to reveal where Stinney was detained, as rumors of lynching spread throughout the town. Not even his parents knew where he was as his trial quickly approached. At the time, 14 was considered the age of responsibility — and Stinney was believed to be responsible for murder.”
“About a month after the girls’ deaths, George Stinney, Jr.’s trial began at a Clarendon County Courthouse. Court-appointed attorney Charles Plowden did ‘little to nothing’ to defend his client.”
“During the two-hour trial, Plowden failed to call witnesses to the stand or present any evidence that would cast doubt on the prosecution’s case. The most significant piece of evidence presented against Stinney was his alleged confession, but there was no written record of the teen admitting to the murders.”
“By the time of his trial, Stinney hadn’t seen his parents in weeks, and they were too afraid of getting attacked by a white mob to come to the courthouse.”
“Following a deliberation that took less than 10 minutes, the all-white jury found Stinney guilty of murder, with no recommendation for mercy.”
“On April 24, 1944, the teen was sentenced to die by electrocution.”
“George Stinney, Jr.’s execution was not without protest. In South Carolina, organizers for both white and black ministerial unions petitioned Gov. Olin Johnston to grant Stinney clemency based on his young age.”
“Meanwhile, hundreds of letters and telegrams poured into the governor’s office, begging him to show mercy to Stinney. Stinney’s supporters appealed with everything from the basic idea of fairness to the concept of Christian justice. But in the end, none of it was enough to save Stinney.”
“On June 16, 1944, George Stinney, Jr. walked into the execution chamber at the South Carolina State Penitentiary in Columbia with a Bible tucked under his arm.”
“Weighing in at just 95 pounds, he was dressed in a loose-fitting striped jumpsuit. Strapped into an adult-size electric chair, he was so small that the state electrician struggled to adjust an electrode to his right leg. A mask that was too big for him was placed over his face.”
“An assistant captain asked Stinney if he had any last words. Stinney replied, ‘No sir.’ The prison doctor prodded, ‘You don’t want to say anything about what you did?’ Again, Stinney replied, ‘No sir.’”
“When officials turned on the switch, 2,400 volts surged through Stinney’s body, causing the mask to slip off. His eyes were wide and teary, and saliva was emanating from his mouth for all the witnesses in the room to see. After two more jolts of electricity, it was over.”
“Stinney was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. In a span of just 83 days, the boy had been charged with murder, tried, convicted, and executed by the state.”
“It was noted that a man named Wilford ‘Johnny’ Hunter, who claimed to be Stinney’s cellmate, said that Stinney denied murdering Binnicker and Thames.”
“He said, ‘Johnny, I didn’t, didn’t do it,’ Hunter said. He said, ‘Why would they kill me for something I didn’t do?’”
The bottom line, in my mind, is that whether 14-year-old George Stinney, Jr. was guilty or not, he was definitely treated very poorly and unjustly, and no 14-year-old should ever be given a death sentence.
George Stinney, Jr.’s death definitely marked one of the darker days in the state of South Carolina’s history, and one of the darker days in the history of these United States as well.
You can say this happened 76 years ago, or you can say this happened only 76 years ago. In either case, I think it’s fair to say that our country has come a long way since then, and that we will not see another case like George Stinney, Jr.’s again.

Our presidential election is only a few weeks away.
We have the choice between the democrat/liberal, Joe Biden, and the republican/conservative, Donald Trump.
Yes, we have to vote for one of these two men, but we also need to consider what these two men represent.
Let’s review what you apparently support by voting for either the democrat/liberal, Joe Biden, or the republican/conservative, Donald Trump.
Democrats/liberals believe it is a woman’s right to abort a baby right up to the moment before birth.
Republicans/conservatives believe all babies have a right to be born and live.
…
Democrats/liberals support defunding police departments. All criminals are fans of this!
Republicans/conservatives believe if anything, police department support needs to be increased.
…
Democrats/liberals support taking guns away from law abiding citizens. Again, all criminals are fans of this!
Republicans/conservatives believe law abiding citizens have the right to protect themselves and bear arms, as guaranteed in The Constitution.
…
Democrats/liberals believe anyone from anywhere should be able to freely walk right into our country whenever they feel like it. The drug cartels and human traffickers love this.
Republicans/conservatives believe our borders should be secure, limiting who can and who can’t come in at any given time, while affording us an orderly and managed legal immigration process.
…
Democrats/liberals believe in tearing down monuments to our history as a country.
Republicans/conservatives believe in honoring and learning from our history, not trying to erase it.
…
Democrats/liberals support “sanctuary” cities and states, where illegal immigrants can live without fear of being taken into Federal custody and charged with crimes or be deported.
Republicans/conservatives believe illegal immigrants are “illegal” and are here illegally, and should be treated as such. Republicans/conservatives also believe that the concerns of legal citizens should come before those of illegal immigrants.
…
Democrats/liberals support raising taxes across the board. They claim working class people won’t be affected, but we all know higher tax rates for companies and corporations are just passed down to us.
Republicans/conservatives support the continued reduction of taxes across the board.
…
Democrats/liberals immediately take money from the military at their earliest opportunity, weakening our nation’s defense.
Republicans/conservatives believe a strong military is an absolute necessity in today’s global environment. The defense of our country is also the federal government’s primary responsibility per The Constitution.
…
Democrats/liberals love implementing a seemingly never-ending list of federal regulations designed to suffocate construction, business operations, and whatever else they can think of to stifle our civil liberties.
Republicans/conservatives believe some regulations are necessary, but that less regulation is preferable in order promote businesses and maintain a strong economy.
…
Democrats/liberals feel it is a good idea to allow anyone living in our country to vote, regardless of whether they are here legally or not, and regardless of whether the voter has any proper ID to prove who they are.
Republicans/conservatives believe only legal citizens should be allowed to vote, and that an ID should be required.
…
Democrats/liberals believe that government should be the “end all be all” for anyone living in America.
Republicans/conservatives believe that government is a “necessary evil,” and that most things are done more efficiently and cheaper by the private sector.
…
Democrats/liberals believe in a person’s dependence on government, and that having some form of a socialist government is more desirable that our capitalist system, even though no socialist government in the past can be pointed to as a successful government.
Republicans/conservatives believe in our capitalist way of doing things, providing for ourselves as a rule, and system which allows individuals to rise to any level of success, dependent on the individuals’ desire to attain it.
…
Democrats/liberals believe in free speech as long as your speech agrees with their beliefs, if not, they have no problem with censoring or silencing you.
Republicans/conservatives believe in the 1st Amendment, and that everyone has a right to their own opinions and that they have a right to voice those opinions.
…
Democrats/liberals believe rioting, burning, and looting are acceptable forms of “peaceful protesting.” They believe in deferring to the desires of “the mob” as opposed to following the law.
Republicans/conservatives believe in law and order, and that no one has the right to harm other people or their property as part of their “protest.”
…
Democrats/liberals prefer to operate in a way that highlights a person’s racial identity, gender identity, or sexual preference above all else…, except their political leaning.
Republicans/conservatives prefer to identify people by the quality of their character and by their actions and beliefs, without concern for race, color, or creed.
…
Democrats/liberals believe the United States’ industry, people and economy need to be punished and restricted due to “climate change,” while the rest of the world is allowed to keep right on polluting and taking advantage of us.
Republicans/conservatives believe if “climate change” is real, it wasn’t caused by us and we have no real way of affecting “climate change” one way or the other.
…
Democrats/liberals believe fossil fuels are evil and need to be done away with.
Republicans/conservatives believe fossil fuels are still the energy souce of choice right now, at least until other options become viable. Republicans/consrvatives like the US having energy independence, not having to rely on the Middle East for anything, contolling our own energy pricing.
…
Democrats/liberals believe it’s okay for the “media” to operate as an arm of the democrat party, reporting only things that support their narrative, while attacking republicans/conservatives, and especially President Trump on a daily basis.
Republicans/conservatives believe the “media” should report from an unbiased point of view, acting as a watchdog against all government improprieties, regardless of which party it is.
…
And what about the economy?
Democrats/liberals point to the economy after China, and the democrats I believe, dropped the coronavirus bomb on us.
Republicans/conservatives point the hottest economy in history, prior to the China virus, and believe President Trump can get our econmy humming again. Without the release of “The virus,” the democrats would not have stood a chance in this election.
…
So, like I said in the beginning, “The choice is really quite simple.”
The differences between democrats/liberals and republicans/conservatives have never been more obvious.
The question is which side are you on?
If you’re having a hard time deciding who to vote for, you are obviously one confused individual!
There should be no undecided voters at this point.
If you really are undecided, then maybe you shouldn’t even bother voting.
Just sayin’.
