Whitmer solves the Kamala problem but it's all moot because we're on an unavoidable crash course for the worst sequel in history.

is there any other kind?

Highest court in NY just ordered the congressional maps to be redrawn for 2024. GOP not gonna be happy.

For all of the shit that the Presidents of Penn and Harvard took for their testimony on anti-Semitism, I would probably agree with them. Context is hugely important in considering harassment and intimidation. Hate speech that is not a specific call to violence is and should be legal. The answer that they gave that it becomes harassment if it is targeted specifically at an individual makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, in a vacuum. It’s not in a vacuum. It’s against years of vigorously going after words they disagreed with. Penn, e.g.,, is still in process of firing law professor who spoke against affirmative action and favor of Court’s decision.

So, ironically enough, it’s the actual context that truly exposes these fuckers.

The educational system in this country is a fucking joke...from K thru college. Charter and private schools are far superior...but for some reason...the Teachers Unions are afraid of competition...maybe because they suck at educating? Indoctrination of our kids is going to be the downfall of America.

So, you’re saying you went to public school?

I don’t entirely disagree with you but Amy Wax goes a little bit further than simply disapproving of affirmative action…her views on race are pretty similar to the dude you’re addressing.

Math checks out.

Wiz was the youngest junior high graduate in his fambly. Also the only.

Correct. My best friend was Jethro Bodine.....

There’s no context for her, just whether students “feel safe.” And whatever she’s said, I doubt it rises to the advocating genocide which was the specific question those Presidents couldn’t answer.

And that’s the point. That’s the context. If you are on the wrong side of Woke context is irrelevant. When you’re on the right side, context matters a great deal.

Indeed, even the most controversial words she’s said —generally — aren’t particularly different in form, if at all, from those of Kendi and every “anti-racist” out there.

[Dr. Strangelove]

More importantly, you hear about Corky & Lenny’s?

[iam416]

I did. They weren't my favorite corned beef shop, but they were good. Sad.

Let’s not gloss over today’s feel good story. Israel began flooding Hamas’ terror tunnels in Gaza…with water from the Mediterranean. You wanted to bridge that gap to the sea? We’ll bring it right to ya’!
