The Rest 1


Walter Williams is a great American.  He deals in the truth every time he gets in front of computer.  Here is another one of his gems in which he assesses a book by Richard Vedder.  Quote: "Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Economics at Ohio University Richard Vedder’s new book, “Restoring the Promise,” published by the Independent Institute based in Oakland, California, is about the crisis in higher education. He summarizes the three major problems faced by America’s colleges and universities. First, our universities “are vastly too expensive, often costing twice as much per student compared with institutions in other industrialized democracies.” Second, though there are some important exceptions, students “on average are learning relatively little, spend little time in academic preparation and in some disciplines are indoctrinated by highly subjective ideology.” Third, “there is a mismatch between student occupational expectations after graduation and labor market realities.” College graduates often find themselves employed as baristas, retail clerks and taxi drivers. The extraordinary high college cost not only saddles students with debt, it causes them to defer activities such as getting married and starting a family, buying a home and saving for retirement. Research done by the New York Federal Reserve Banks and the National Bureau of Economic Research shows that each dollar of federal aid to college leads to a tuition increase of 60 cents."  And,  "—College administrative staff often exceeds the teaching staff. Vedder says, “I doubt there is a major campus in America where you couldn’t eliminate very conservatively 10 percent of the administrative payroll (in dollar terms) without materially impacting academic performance.” —Reevaluate academic tenure. Tenure is an employment benefit that has costs, and faculty members should be forced to make tradeoffs between it and other forms of university compensation. —Colleges of education, with their overall poor academic quality, are an embarrassment on most campuses and should be eliminated. —End speech codes on college campuses by using the University of Chicago Principles on free speech. —Require a core curriculum that incorporates civic and cultural literacy. —The most important measure of academic reforms is to make university governing boards independent and meaningful. In my opinion, most academic governing boards are little more than yes men for the president and provost."    https://www.lewrockwell.com/2019/05/walter-e-williams/higher-education-in-america/ 
This is one example of the disdain for the lunacy of the Democrat slate of presidential candidates is prompting.   http://www.themadpatriots.com/politics/democratic-partys-leftward-lurch-is-driving-wall-street-donors-to-trump/

This item presents the perfect rebuttal to the arrogance of the Democrat party leadership's self appointed superiority of leadership over that of the Republican party. It is a truly laughable notion as this piece shows.    https://spectator.org/the-perez-principle/?

Add left wing college professors to the list of dangers to the nation's educational establishment.  This guy deserved dismissal from his position a long time ago. Quote: "Hate-spewing Trinity College Professor Johnny Eric Williams is up to his old tricks again. The far-left educator, who once condoned letting white people die if they required emergency assistance, apparently thinks “whiteness is terrorism.” The Professor of sociology posted a tweet expressing this sentiment on April 28, 2019 according to Campus Reform. Williams has conveniently since made his Twitter account private. However, The Hartford Courant reportedly has a record of his inflammatory remarks. Trinity College, located in Hartford, Connecticut, has previously placed the Professor on leave for making offensive comments on his social media platforms. In this latest incident of blatant, outrageous racism, Williams tweeted, “All self-identified white people (no exceptions) are invested in and collude with systemic white racism/white supremacy.” Surprisingly, Williams didn’t just target white people this time. The Hartford Courant revealed the Professor also wrote, “I’m referring to [Candace Owens] and other less brazen but more insidious dangerous ‘white’ kneegrows like Barry and Michelle Obama and many other white kneegrows you encounter daily.”    https://www.freedomnewsreport.com/2019/05/06/black-professor-claims-whiteness-is-terrorism/   It is really a hypocritical thing the political left does.  If one of their own behaves in a hateful manner that is quite acceptable because left wing hate is permissible.  But, if a right wing person does the same thing the full force of left wing activists immediately demand his resignation, arrest or worse.

The Democrat party has a well known and long history of meddling in elections. This item addresses their thinking that all people in the US should be counted in the upcoming 2020 census, not just citizens. Population counts form the basis of distribution of the membership of the House of Representatives as well as the basis of the composition of the Electoral College. Hmmm??? Who do you think would benefit from such a notion?  If you guessed the Democrats you would be right. Why else do you think they are trying to flood the nation with non citizens? If you think they want non-citizens counted in the census. You would be right again.  Who would benefit?  Right again if you said the Democrats. Clever those Democrats. They just want to win elections any way they can. Since they cannot win on based on principled policies they intend to stuff ballot boxes with illegal non-citizen votes. This item deals with their anti-American deviancy as they fight against any effort to not count "the" glut of non-citizens they have invited to illegally enter the country. They need the census to count all "people" whether citizen or not. The jeopardy Democrats put those poor people in is that falsely declaring citizenship is yet another violation of US law. Having already broken the law by illegally entering the country any such person would be subject to deportation. The reality is that the Democrat party does not care about the law. They only care about control and power. Any way to get it whether legal or not is what they pursue.  Read this piece to gain further insight.   https://spectator.org/census-and-citizenship-the-wrong-question/?  The Democrat party is a disgusting thing to behold.  Here is another Democrat caught stealing votes.     https://explainlife.com/democrats-caught-stealing-votes-again-mayor-arrested-in-sanctuary-state-14237/?

This is strong evidence of how afraid they are of being exposed as the party of political fraudsters, liars and criminals.  They have no rational political objectives that merit support nor do they have anything meaningful to say.  This item reveals just how low their ethics have fallen.  Quote: "Prominent Democrats and leftist media figures are doubling down on their tactic of calling it “hate speech” when you quote them accurately. Another tactic becoming increasingly frequent is that if you quote them – verbatim and with total accuracy – they will claim that you are “inciting violence” against them. You’re trying to get them killed by repeating exactly what they said! No one illustrates this hysterical, foaming-at-the-mouth tactic better than April Ryan, a joyless Hobbit who works for CNN and is a member of the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA)."  And,  "The left (especially CNN) has been suggesting for years that the words spoken by conservatives are an  incitement to violence” against Democrats. Since turnabout is fair play, Sarah Sanders’ father – former Arkansas Governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee – called out April Ryan for her violent rhetoric. Posting a video of April Ryan’s exact quote on social media, Mike Huckabee asked: “So, liberals – is this okay? Does CNN have the integrity to deal w/this incitement to murder? CNN’s April Ryan says Sarah Sanders’ head should be ‘lopped off.’” Huckabee also suggested that the WCHA should revoke April Ryan’s press credentials because of her violent rhetoric. This is, of course, hilarious after the years of double standards from the left."  And, after citing several examples of left wingers "actual" words inciting violence, "None of those actual violent assaults on prominent conservatives was covered by CNN or anyone else in the mainstream media. But April Ryan will surely have several days of fodder to talk about how she was “violently attacked” by Mike Huckabee quoting her. The double standard couldn’t be clearer."   https://uspoliticsandnews.com/exactly-quoting-democrats-now-incitement-to-violence/    Any casual check will locate quotes of hate filled rants by left wingers against Trump, his family and supporters, Republicans, conservatives and Christians.  The calls for violence have come from Democrat politicians, left wing media types/pundits, Hollywood elites, academicians, and demented average citizens incited by the hate filled rhetoric of all the many guilty high profile elites of the political left. They are so plentiful they are not hard to find.  This site will offer a start.  https://americasvoice.org/trumphatemap/
