Eric Metaxas exhorts American pastors to be bold amid 'beginnings of revival'  Author Eric Metaxas told a group of pastors gathered at Turning Point USA's recent Faith Forward Pastors Summit to live out their faith boldly amid what he sees as "the beginnings of revival" in the U.S.

RussiaGate: 'A Murder Of American Democracy Was Committed'  Surely you’ve noticed the ominous cone of silence around the DOJ and the FBI as rumors of “accountability” mount against well-known figures who used government to make war against its own citizens. That is exactly what happened, by the way, in case you’re baffled by the news. The agencies aren’t leaking this time, especially not to the mendacious scribes that infest The New York Times and The WashPo, who function as vanguard to the corps of traitors in the rogue fourth branch of government called the Blob.

U.S. Attorney Pirro Unleashes Fury on a System That Coddles Violent Young Criminals   Pirro detailed the frustration of prosecuting violent young offenders only to see the system let them off easy. “I can’t touch you if you’re 14, 15, 16, 17 years old and you have a gun. I convict someone of shooting another person with an illegal gun on a public bus in the chest, intent to kill, I convict him. And you know what the judge gives him: Probation. Says, ‘You should go to college.’ We need to go after the D.C. Council and their absurd laws.”...Instead, she said, the offenders are sent to family court, where they “get to do yoga and arts and crafts.” Her frustration was clear: “Enough. It changes today.”

Farewell to Grand Old Ivy  

In short, colleges and universities are demographically and economically doomed, and everybody knows it. There's nothing but upside in the purging of the professoriate, the reduction and defeminization of most state colleges and universities (that declining birth rate is not going to fix itself with women spending some of their prime childbearing years studying feminist theory), the abolition of community colleges (which are really just glorified high schools), the end of credentialism, and the demotion of the Ivy League schools from incubators of future Supreme Court justices to something approaching their original functions, e.g. training Protestant pastors (Harvard) and educating American Indians (Dartmouth).

   As Carter writes: "Professors will find themselves unemployed and, with very few exceptions outside of STEM, unemployable. There is no organic market demand for ‘researchers’ specializing in queering the depictions of gendered masculinities in third century Roman lyric poetry."

Why racial discrimination is so deeply institutionalized in US higher education   In short, the Ivy League and all the rest are every bit as obsessed with simple skin color as any Jim Crow white supremacist.

   And as determined to rationalize it.

Teach the Holocaust -- without mentioning Jews -- says NEA   Hitler's "No. 1 target was Jews," said Howard Libit of the Baltimore Jewish Council, reports Jonathan M. Pitts in the Baltimore Sun. It was known as "the final solution to the Jewish question." 

   “Should the NEA mention that the Nazis killed many more people in addition to Jews? Of course,” Libit said. But it’s appalling to see that [the NEA] would be pushing a Holocaust education concept that doesn’t mention Jewish victims." Image
