Crowder Goes There
Just about what I’d do in a similar circumstance
Comedian Steven Crowder Dishes Out Brutal, Nearly 5-Minute ‘Reality Check’ to ‘Social Justice Warriors’ When They Interrupt Event
Comedian Steven Crowder mercilessly tore into so-called “social justice warriors” when they disrupted his opening remarks within seconds of him taking the stage.
Crowder was scheduled to “tell some jokes” and discuss free speech at the University of Massachusetts on Monday night alongside other speakers, including conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos and former philosophy professor Christina Hoff Sommers. However, the comedian quickly ditched his prepared material to give his vocal critics a “reality check.”
“Do you have any idea, sir, how pathetic it must be to be you? These people wanted to hear a few jokes, some thoughtful discussion, but your head pops off the pillow in the morning with, ‘How can I be a professional victim today?’ Let me go in and screw with their act just because, oh my god, your parents didn’t tell you that your opinion wasn’t worth that much,” Crowder said.
For emphasis, he added, “I’m not your gender studies professor who has to cater to your trigger warning, microagression, safe space bulls**t!”
It wasn’t long before Crowder was apparently accused of being a “racist.”
“Oh, I’m a racist…that’s a new one. Where’d you learn that, in social human studies 101?” the comedian asked mockingly.
But the bigger issue, Crowder explained, is that the left is now “openly against” free speech and the open debate of ideas.
“You’re not fighting for free speech, you’re not fighting for rights — you’re fighting for the right to be a p***y and not hear opinions that you don’t like,” he said.
“All right, I’m done,” he concluded.

Big Win for Parents in Tennessee
Kudos to the Franklin County, Tenn., School Board for standing strong against outside gay activist bullying!
On Monday, April 11, the Board voted 7-1 to institute new school club regulations that directly address abuses which are unique to gay school clubs.
- They are coordinated by national LGBT organizations.
- They depend on secrecy and deception.
- They give access to un-vetted outside activists.
- They provide students with information, materials, and student activities that parents consider dangerous and offensive.
Establishing regulations rather than banning gay clubs makes it impossible for gay activists and the ACLU to sue the district. Plus, experience has shown that gay school clubs don’t last long when they are required to be transparent and adult activists are barred.
Common-sense regulations that apply to all clubs have been upheld by the federal courts. Schools can also legally restrict certain club materials, because the First Amendment simply does not protect lewd, obscene, or pornographic materials in the school context.
The regulations strategy was provided by Liberty Counsel, a tax-exempt legal organization that specializes in evangelical Christian litigation.

The Daily Raacciisssss
This meeting of the White Privilege Society will now come to order.The reading of the minutes from the last meeting will be waived,due to the secretaries absence.He’s a paramedic and was called to Utopia University to administer CPR to a Snowflake who,upon seeing “Trump 2016” scrawled in chalk on the sidewalk fell to the ground,convulsing and mumbling incoherently.She had to be rushed by whaambulance to her Safe Space for a group hug with other affirmative action devotees and trust fund juveniles who all try to get into politics so they don’t have to do anything useful.They refer to John Kerry as The Godfather.
We are faced with cries of racism on a daily basis.While there has been some level of animus and distrust between the races for a very long time it has been ramped up a hundredfold since they feel they got one of “theirs” elected president.The incidences of blacks running from,attacking and trying to kill policemen.With every instance of a black suspect killed by police the paid anarchists stand at the ready to riot,burn and loot…..just for fun and profit.
Analysis Of Crime Data Links Murder Spike To #BlackLivesMatter Anti-Police Protests
Spreading the lie that police are out to get you, police being reticent to defend themselves or to affirmatively enter more dangerous situations is a recipe for disaster and crime explosion.
A new FiveThirtyEight analysis of crime statistics out of Chicago reveals the recent spike in gun violence in the Windy City is directly related to the release of a video that shows the police shooting of Laquan McDonald and the protests, activism and reforms that followed shortly thereafter. The analysis provides strong evidence in support of the idea that Chicago is experiencing its own “Ferguson Effect” — a theory that says the recent increase in violent crime is the result of rank-and-file officers taking a less proactive approach to policing due to increased anti-police sentiment.
Family says boy, 16, fatally shot by cop had scrapes with law but no major trouble (Chicago)
THERE WAS ANOTHER INSTANCE YESTERDAY OF A “YOUTH’ RUNNING FROM AND SHOOTING AT POLICEMEN. BAD IDEA.
But she still can’t understand how her 16-year-old nephew ended up shot to death after allegedly confronting a Chicago police officer with a gun Monday evening.
“Once again, we’re looking at environment, this community. How some of these young boys are just plagued with certain influences,” Winters said Tuesday. “But not to this extent, by no means.”
Escalante said Loury had “prior contact” with police and that police considered him a documented gang member.
His family said Loury was the oldest of five children, an aspiring rapper who attended Community Christian Alternative Academy in the West Side’s Lawndale neighborhood.

Officer shoots hatchet-wielding woman in Wisconsin Wal-Mart
LAKE HALLIE, Wis. (AP) — A police officer fatally shot a developmentally disabled woman inside a western Wisconsin Wal-Mart after she refused to drop a hatchet she had grabbed from a shelf, authorities say.

Wisconsin girls soccer team targeted by Trump wall chants walks off
BELOIT IS 10 MILES NORTH OF ME IN ROCK COUNTY. ELKHORN IS IN WALWORTH COUNTY, JUST EAST
A girls high school soccer team in Wisconsin walked off the field after they were the target of Donald Trump chants from people on the sideline, according to WISC-TV.
It was the Beloit Memorial girls varsity soccer team, which took on Elkhorn Area High last Thusday. Reportedly there were kids on the side of the field yelling “Donald Trump, build that wall,” toward Hispanic and African American players.
According to The Now, kids who chanted will be punished, though school officials have not stated what type of punishment they will face.
NO DOUBT THE KIDS WILL BE FORCED TO UNDERGO SENSITIVITY TRAINING
APPARENTLY “ILLEGAL” IS NOW A RACIAL SLUR
I’D BET A THOUSAND DOLLARS THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE
“They said the Black Lives Matter movement was retarded. They told us to go back to Africa. They saying the ‘N’ word, calling us ‘n**gas,’” an emotional Bartlett said in the three-minute video that has garnered more than 150,000 views since last Thursday.
“You’re not going to make me feel uncomfortable at a school I pay $22,000 to go to,” Bartlett said in her video. “I went down there, and I confronted all of them. Y’all want to have an open discussion and an open forum about black people? Let me pull up a seat.”
Student Beat for Being White: Punched, Hit with Chair, Called Cracker
A white student at a predominantly Hispanic and black Long Island high school says he was targeted for punishment over his race — punched, hit with a chair and repeatedly called “cracker” and “white boy” — while administrators did nothing to protect him.
Lawyers for Giovanni Micheli, now 23, aim to convince a federal jury that their client was singled out as a “minority” in Brentwood High School and then told by school officials, most of them white, to either “project more self-confidence” in order to stem the beating and berating — or leave.
AFTER THE MEETING,WE’LL BREAK INTO SMALL GROUPS TO DISCUSS HOW TO COPE WITH OUR WHITE PRIVILEGE AND WHAT WE CAN GIVE THE MINORITIES WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE JUST SO THEY’LL FEEL BETTER

Worker of Mercy: Educate the Ignorant
Dr. Scott M. Sullivan was raised in a loving Evangelical home, but lost his intellectual faith in the truth of Christianity in early adulthood. For the next twenty years, he was heavily involved in martial arts — particularly kickboxing — with some college classes on the side.
Sullivan is now a devout Catholic with both Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Philosophy. His ministry — Classical Theist — is devoted to using modern technologies to make intellectually sound arguments for Catholicism and Christianity accessible to ordinary folks.

Perspective
When a Pakistani Muslim family learned that a Christian man was romantically involved with one of their women, they kidnapped the man’s 8-year-old niece, stripped her naked and beat her in front of the men, then threw her clothes in the trash and left her naked in a public street.
Her family sought help from the village elders, who did nothing. Then they went to the local police station to file a complaint, only to be arrested and held them in detention until they agreed to sell their property and leave the area.
But hey … you pampered college students who don’t get it that being in college makes you privileged by definition! You keep right on skipping class to protest important microaggressions, like white people going around being all offensively white or Christians imposing their offensive religious beliefs on you by wearing red and green in December.
Support Professor Carol Swain
The Tolerance Police, who have taken it upon themselves to destroy the peace and prosperity of anyone who doesn’t agree with them on every jot and tittle, have targeted Professor Carol Swain of Vanderbilt University.
You can sign a petition supporting Swain @ http://citizengo.org/en/sy/31026-protect-academic-freedom-professor-carol-swain
Swain was a school dropout and teenage mother. Today, she is a professor of law and political science at Vanderbilt University and the author of numerous award-winning books. She has even been cited by the Supreme Court.
Swain is a both black and female, which should score her a +2 in the Leftist’s Privileged Classes Lottery. Unfortunately, she is also a politically conservative Christian who makes no secret of her personal beliefs, which earns her a -2,000,000 in the LPC Lottery.
Swain says all but one of the allegations listed against her in the petition are lies. The one that has a smidgen of truth is that she did post part of student’s disrespectful letter to her on her Facebook page and included a link to that student’s public Facebook.
Swain has since deleted that post and says, “Maybe I shouldn’t have done that, but the student contacted me. My point in showing it was to show the level of disrespect and what I have to put up with at Vanderbilt University with this person saying I was a disgrace.”
“It’s something that has changed in the student body, that they think they can control what people do, not just inside the classroom, but outside the classroom,” Swain said.
I see two ironies in this situation.
One, I was graduated way back in 1976 and I endured repeated ridicule of my beliefs by professors, teaching assistants, and classmates. It’s obvious the problem is much, much worse now, but I’m not seeing conservative Christians trying to destroy anyone’s reputation or deprive them of their livelihood the way these Leftist activists are doing. This is not surprising, given that Jesus told His followers to turn the other cheek, while the Left tells its followers to punch back harder and to bring a gun to a knife fight.
Two, Carol Swain is a professor of law and political science. Are her students seriously getting their delicate princess panties in a bunch over someone saying things they don’t agree with? I mean … SERIOUSLY?! Did they miss the part about how our legal and political systems are essentially adversarial?!
I dug into the story and discovered the ringleader of the effort to suspend Professor Swain is an LGBT activist.
What a shock. Not.
Addendum: In researching this, I came across a really good article about why “turn the other cheek” does not mean we Christians are supposed to allow ourselves to be passive doormats for abusive bullies.
“Jesus was using a common rabbinical teaching tool known as ‘hyperbole’ in order to accentuate an important point. He did not intend that line to be taken in a strict, literal, and absolute sense. In fact, Jesus uses hyperbole throughout the Sermon on the Mount. For some reason, the ‘judge not’ and ‘turn the other cheek’ passages get an inordinate amount of air-time.”
He gives other examples, such as “If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away. (5:29)”

THOROUGHLY RACIST PETEY
***WARNING***
If you feel all the problems of the American Negro are the result of oppression by a white racist society, that if we just appease all their demands long enough, that it is acceptable for people to start having children at 14, young thugs bragging about how many baby mamas they’ve made with no intention of ever supporting any of them, leaving the girls to live on taxpayer largess, have an abortion rate of 70% and a graduation rate of 25%, killing each other because they belong to different gangs, robbing and raping because they feel like it, getting college grants and using the taxpayer funds to buy cars, tattoos, jewelry, and new clothes, scheming with family members to make sure they get the maximun tax refund for all their kids, that we owe them a living just because they’re here, you’d do well to go to another site now.
THE PURGE CONTINUES
You cannot open a browser and pull up a news-related website without being accosted by an angry black face demanding everything they want and they want it for nothing and feel it’s owed to them because of slavery or some such. Yesterday was the “Million Student March.” Their demands are as absurd as they are sophomoric. This was spurred on by the successful bullying of several college officials into resigning over what was basically a complete hoax and a pack of lies given credence by the yellowest of media scum, CNN. Check these out:

DeRay McKesson and Johnetta Elzie have tweeted their presence in Columbia and published photos of them meeting with Student Body President Payton Head.
McKesson calls himself “an American civil rights activist.” He’s founder of something called We the Protesters that, according to its website, is dedicated to “radical liberation” focusing exclusively on “black lives.” McKesson is a 2007 graduate of Bowdoin College and has worked as “Senior Director of Human Capital at the Minneapolis Public Schools. McKesson has been active at protests in Ferguson, Baltimore, and Charleston, South Carolina after the shootings there.

I guess Jim Crow’s not so bad
Man, it is so hard to keep up with the ever-shifting beliefs of the Left.
For decades now, Leftists have been complaining endlessly about the “Era of Jim Crow.” Which is all manner of hilarious considering they were the idiots who came up with it.
Now, suddenly, I guess Jim Crow’s not so bad.
At least if you go by the fascist “Concerned Student 1950” extremist organization at the University of Missouri.
Apparently the student protestors are telling their useful idiots white allies to stay the hell out of the Blacks Only “healing spaces.”
Prominent Black Lives Matter activist Johnetta Elzie seemingly confirmed those with Caucasian skin were asked to leave the area, tweeting that the group had created a “black only healing space for the students to share, decompress, be vulnerable & real.”
So, you can’t decompress or be vulnerable and real when whites are there?

UCLA Professor Wants “Dean of White Supremacy And Black Hate”…
I watched Thursday afternoon as scores of my peers exited classrooms at UCLA to take part in a “walk-out” in support of black students and others across the nation protesting their “racist, oppressive” universities.
The Facebook page that had organized the Bruin protest listed several causes for the demonstration, including “racism (particularly against Black people), class oppression through student debt, and the unfair treatment and impoverishment of campus workers.”

Ted Cruz: Five for Freedom Plan
“The total federal debt currently stands at $18.6 trillion, larger than our entire economy. That is up 75 percent since President Obama took office, and by the end of his tenure, he is expected to have added almost as much to the national debt as all past presidents combined. The federal government spent $3.5 trillion in fiscal year 2014, and ran a deficit of $483 billion. Sadly, even under a Republican Congress, the recent budget deal will add another $80 billion in spending over two years. The current and projected rates of government growth are unsustainable, irresponsible, and constitutionally indefensible.” ~Ted Cruz
Ted Cruz says that, if he is elected, he will work to eliminate wasteful government agencies, bureaus and commission. In particular, he wants to get rid of these five cabinet agencies:
- Internal Revenue Service – to dramatically simplify the tax code and enable everyone to fill out their taxes on a postcard or smartphone app.
- Department of Education – to return education to those who know our students best: parents, teachers, local communities, and states. And to block-grant education funding to the states.
- Department of Energy – to cut off the Washington cartel, stop picking winners and losers, and unleash the energy renaissance.
- Department of Commerce – to close the “congressional cookie jar” and promote free enterprise and free trade for every business.
- Department of Housing and Urban Development – to offer real solutions that lift people out of hardship, rather than trapping families in a cycle of poverty, and to empower hurting Americans by reforming most of the remaining programs, such as Section 8 housing.
Cruz says he will NOT do this by executive action, like Obama’s been doing to force his will on us. He will do it legally, constitutionally, by working with Congress.
