How the Liberal Mind Views Book-banning
Posted By: Imright, 11/28/2023 8:52:22 AM
Holidays bring family together and whenever the conversation starts with, “I don’t want to start an argument but…” an argument is likely to ensue. Because my sister and I have nearly diametrically opposed political views, mine conservative and hers liberal, I guess she felt comfortable in asking my opinion in the defense of what she must see as right-wing, conservative-driven efforts to ban certain books from school libraries. She claimed that this wave of book-banning and censorship was a renewed force of current origin, at least in its intensity and numbers. She declared that nothing good ever came from censorship.

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed there were hundreds of “cowards” in the Republicans Party who enable former President Donald Trump to tear down of our institutions.
Schiff said, “Donald Trump could not have done any of the damage that he inflicted, the tearing down of our institutions, the causing Americans to distrust our election process, weakening the foundation of our system, and that is voting, but for the willing enablement of so many of her colleagues in Congress. One of the terrible realizations of these years is how many enablers there were and how few people of courage and conviction there were also.

Election Officials Who Pushed For Hand-Counting Ballots 5 replies
Arizona’s Democratic attorney general announced today that a grand jury has decided to indict two election officials for conspiring to delay the certification of votes in their county over their desire to hand-count all election day and early ballots.
Peggy Judd and Terry Crosby, Republican county supervisors from Cochise County, were indicted by the state of Arizona on Nov. 29 on counts of conspiracy and interference with an election. Judd and Crosby wanted to hand count ballots in their county, citing their distrust of voting machines, and delayed the certification of their county’s election results over those concerns.
“The repeated attempts to undermine our democracy are unacceptable,”
Nearly half of US companies intend to eliminate Bachelor's degree requirements for some job positions next year, a new survey has revealed.
And 55 percent said they'd already eliminated degree requirements this year, according to an Intelligent.com survey of 800 US employers, carried out in November.
It comes after Walmart, IBM, Accenture, Bank of America and Google announced similar plans. The survey found that the same employers that have already eliminated Bachelor's degree requirements were far more likely to continue doing so.
Car dealers across the United States are warning President Joe Biden that his “unrealistic” green energy agenda must be abandoned, mainly because Americans are not buying Electric Vehicles (EVs) as the administration expected.
Executives with car dealerships from Massachusetts to Alabama to Wyoming sent a letter to Biden this week, urging his administration to drop EV mandates and green energy requirements on the auto industry, citing a lack of interest among American consumers in EVs. “… we are asking you to slow down your proposed regulations mandating battery electric vehicle (BEV) production and distribution,” the car dealers tell Biden:
Your administration has proposed regulations that would
Israeli-American dual citizen Liat Beinin has been freed by Hamas and is reportedly in the hands of the Red Cross after seven weeks in captivity.
Beinin, 49, is an American-born Israeli who was kidnapped by the terrorist organization along with her husband, Aviv Atzili, from Kibbutz Nir Or on the morning of October 7.
During the horrific attack, the couple's house was burned down. The next day, Aviv's phone was geo-located to Gaza. His mother, 78-year-old Telma Atzili, hid for 10 hours during the attack and has been in Eilat with her grandchildren.
It was an alluring idea at first.
Hunter Biden would appear in public before Congress on Dec. 13 to answer questions about his family’s influence-peddling business.
But of course, it was just another ruse by his high-priced lawyers to avoid accountability and stage a pity party.
Everyone else subpoenaed in James Comer’s House Oversight investigation of the Bidens has to first sit for a transcribed interview under oath.
In Hunter’s case, the committee has hundreds of bank documents, and other evidence to put before him relating to millions of dollars he and other Biden family members raked in from America’s foreign adversaries during his father’s vice presidency.
A pro-Palestinian march converged near New York City's Rockefeller Plaza on Wednesday night, during the nationally televised Christmas tree lighting held there each year.
WCBS-TV reporter Ali Bauman posted images of the demonstration on X, showing one protester holding a placard with a large swastika.
Demonstrators had announced plans to 'flood the tree lighting for Gaza' ahead of the 91st annual Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting, which kicked off at 8pm, and will culminate in the tree lighting shortly before 10pm.
US moves to protect wolverines as climate

change melts their mountain refuges, threatens extinction 7 replies
Billings, Mont.—The North American wolverine will receive long-delayed threatened species protections under a Biden administration proposal released Wednesday in response to scientists’ warnings that climate change will likely melt away the rare species’ snowy mountain refuges and push them toward extinction.
Across most of the U.S., wolverines were wiped out by the early 1900s from unregulated trapping and poisoning campaigns. About 300 surviving animals in the contiguous U.S. live in fragmented, isolated groups at high elevations in the northern Rocky Mountains.
Wolverines join a growing number of animals, plants and insects — from polar bears in Alaska to crocodiles in southern Florida — that officials say are at growing risk
Alec Baldwin has reportedly settled a $25 million lawsuit with the sister of a Marine killed in Afghanistan, after publicly shaming her for attending the January 6 Capitol riot.
Journalist Emily Miller reported that the 65-year-old actor settled the defamation case against the family of Rylee McCollum.
McCollum was one of the service members who died in the bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul during the withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.Baldwin had donated $5,000 to the Marine's family's GoFundMe, set up by Roice McCollum, Rylee's sister, before learning she attended the Capitol riot on January 6.
The actor then bombarded her with messages, and later posted her Instagram
Henry Kissinger, the influential Secretary of State once dubbed the 'Playboy of the West Wing', was a colossus on the global stage for six decades.
The deft statesman was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his negotiation of a ceasefire during the Vietnam War.
Kissinger transcended politics. At the height of his political career in the 1970s, one fashion magazine termed him the 'sex symbol of the Nixon Administration'. He was nicknamed the 'Playboy of the Western Wing' and batted off speculation about affairs with glamorous actresses.
In October 1789, President George Washington issued a thanksgiving proclamation “to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor….” This proclamation was thus not merely a self-congratulation whereby the President and others applauded themselves for creating a new government provided by our Constitution. At that point we were transitioning from the Articles of Confederation which had neither three distinct branches of government nor the idea of federalism embodied in its organization. Would the new Constitution work?
Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been given a new role by President Joe Biden’s administration, a move that seems prompted by campaign promises being made by former President Donald Trump.
The Biden administration has decided to bring in Pelosi in what seems to be the California Democrat’s first serious role since she stopped being House Speaker. Biden’s re-election campaign reportedly tapped Pelosi in an effort to combat threats being made by Trump to take on and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly referred to as Obamacare.
“Tuesday’s push, a Pelosi call with reporters and campaign staff, highlights a new Biden campaign strategy, dubbed ‘Trump’s America in 2025,’

Can Behave Better...and It's Unintentionally Hilarious 30 replies
The issue here is that this could easily be viewed as a satirical piece. Maybe it is, perhaps it isn’t, but that’s how insane the Left has become—where a list such as this for white people is tragically taken seriously by some. It’s an old list, however. Social media has a way of resurrecting woke think pieces if they slide under the radar at the time of publication or people forget about them. Vice had this 100-item list for how white people can make life less miserable for nonwhites and something, something else, but you can tell where this was heading in the opening sentences:
Influential Iowa evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats is doubling down on his disdain for former President Trump and his support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to take the GOP presidential nomination next year. [Snip] “The number one hurdle for Donald Trump is I’ve never met a dad or a mom or a grandpa or a grandma who have told me they want their son or daughter, grandchild to grow up to be like him,” Vander Plaats said. “That’s a big deal.” “Iowa will rise up,” he continued. “This is not leadership our country needs.”
Special Counsel Jack Smith, in a search warrant sent to X, formerly Twitter, requested a vast swathe of information about the account of former President Donald J. Trump, as well as information on the millions of accounts that interacted with it — even those that liked a tweet by Trump in the timeframe of October 2020 to January 2021.
The heavily redacted search warrant requests a list of all users who liked or retweeted posts from Trump between October 2020 and January 2021, including “all associated logs and metadata,” which could cover location data. This extraordinarily expansive request would result in data on millions of American
Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed “right-wing extremism” for some of the ills facing his crime-ridden city.
Johnson issued his statement about the “far right” during a press conference on Tuesday.“What we’ve seen is a very raggedy form of right-wing extremism”‘ the mayor said. “Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targeted democratically run cities, and quite frankly, they have been quite intentional about going after democratically ran cities that are led by people of color.”
More parents are likely going to give their babies “gender-neutral” names in 2024, an expert is predicting.
Baby name expert Steph Coffield is anticipating “surnames as first names” and gender neutrality on U.S. birth certificates next year, the New York Post reported on Monday. The 40-year-old Minnesota-based baby name consultant also credited growing “acceptance of non-binary people” as a contributing factor. “I’m seeing a lot of whimsical, gender-neutral surnames being given as first names,” Coffield told Yahoo.“The way things are going, with more acceptance of non-binary people, parents aren’t afraid to give boys softer more feminine names. We’re already there with girls being more masculine,
A giant gust of wind reportedly toppled the U.S. National Christmas tree on Tuesday, just days before its scheduled lighting ceremony with President Joe Biden.
Reports showed that a giant crane had been employed to put the toppled tree back into its upright position. Typically, the trees are in the ground but, according to @rawsalerts, they had to be cut down this year due to a fungal outbreak.“The National Christmas Tree, where President Joe Biden was scheduled to deliver the Christmas tree lighting, has been toppled over after a significant gust of wind occurred, according to the National Park Service,” said @rawsalerts on X.
It’s hard to imagine how American media could get any worse.
One surefire way to do it would be to make journalists and media outlets wards of the state. Can you imagine a media that relies on government to get funded and paid? They already act like activists and this would only encourage them to do so.
This would basically make all of the media like PBS and NPR.
The Washington Examiner reports: Top journalism school pushes taxpayer funding of reporters and media outlets. As the death spiral ravaging local news picks up speed, eliminating one-third of all newspapers since 2005, calls are growing for taxpayers and corporations to cover

Former first lady Melania Trump made a rare public appearance Tuesday to pay tribute to Rosalynn Carter. Trump settled into a more private life after the White House away from her husband's 2024 campaign appearances and reportedly had been a reluctant first lady.

A traditional Catholic family was allegedly “dragged out of their home at gunpoint, handcuffed and locked in a van” earlier this year after the FBI “goaded” their 15-year-old son to post “offensive memes” online. The teen, a volunteer firefighter and altar boy, was then hospitalized on mental health pretenses, according to his father, Jeremiah Rufini. (snip) The FBI targeted the boy as part of a sting operation catfishing traditionalist Catholic teenagers with “extreme political content,” Rufini explained in the family’s GiveSendGo crowdfunding site.
A judge has ordered the FBI to turn over the laptop of murdered Democrat staffer Seth Rich.
Texas Judge Amos L. Mazzant ordered "a timeline for the disclosure of information on Seth Rich's personal laptop, Seth Rich's work laptop, the DVD and tape drive within 14 days following issuance of this Memorandum of Opinion and Order" on Wednesday morning. (snip) Although the FBI responded to Huddleston's request two weeks later saying they were "unable to locate any responsive main files," it was later unveiled that the FBI had over 20,000 pages of potentially relevant material, according to RadarOnline.
A Bridge Too Far: EV Explosions?
15 replies
The lies regarding EVs abound everywhere on the Internet. The Left is busy once again creating an apocryphal reality. Entry after entry assures us that EVs are safer and cheaper to run than gas-powered vehicles. One site, for example, insists that EV sales are on fire, but not EVs. My own research, conversations with EV owners, and inquiries at dealerships have proven otherwise. Of course, the Law of Narrative Gravity — the more widely known or weightier a story is, the more likely it is to be accepted as fact — provides for EV enthusiasm, such as it is, but it is countered by Hutber’s Law, which states that deterioration
Deutsche Bank might have just blown up Letitia James’s civil fraud case against President Trump.
Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she is also seeking to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York. She accused Trump of inflating his assets and defrauding lenders and insurance companies.
A Deutsche Bank executive who worked to approve at least one of Trump’s loans testified on Tuesday that it is “atypical, but not entirely unusual” to reduce a client’s asset values and still approve a loan.
