Kendi Dégringolade
Posted By: Hazymac, 2/1/2025 10:43:21 AM
Well, well, well: We have reported previously about the race-hustling academic fraud Ibram X. Kendi (here and here, for starters), whose lavishly funded Center for Anti-Racist Research at Boston University came under scrutiny for not producing any research, and being mismanaged in the extreme leading to massive staff layoffs. An audit by Boston University found “no wrongdoing,” though it is hard to resist the ironic suspicion that this was a whitewash. And now the other shoe drops: Kendi, who was seldom seen on the Boston University campus and apparently taught no classes, is leaving BU for Howard University, and—surprise—starting a new “research institute”: Kendi, author of the bestseller “How to Be

A short video from 2021 of Avi Horowitz interviewing students at Yale University was recently re-posted by Prager Univ. The students in the video found the idea of getting rid of our U.S. Constitution to be plausible and interesting, and moreover, many of them embraced that as a legitimate and desirable goal. One of the interviewees stated emphatically that our Constitution is a racist document. Although it is not clear that this brief video represents a majority or even a sizable minority of the students at Yale, it is amazing to this writer that we should hear even a few voices at one of our leading

It happens a lot: You’ll hear about a new movie or TV show with a really cool, totally original premise, but alas, the writers and actors fumbled the football in the execution. The first few minutes are promising, but you quickly realize that the script’s premise far exceeded the participants’ talents.
It’s frustrating and annoying.
An example of this is the 1995 supernatural thriller “The Prophecy,” starring Christopher Walken and Viggo Mortensen, where humans discover a “lost” chapter in the Book of Revelation:
Joseph: What is it?
Thomas Daggett: Twenty-third chapter of Saint John's Revelations.
Joseph: And?
Thomas Daggett: There is no twenty-third chapter.
Joseph: Well, maybe this is the Teacher's Edition.
The uncivil service objects to Trump

The President of the United States is the head of the executive branch. Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution says:
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
Section 2 speaks more specifically to his enumerated powers, but he’s in charge of the Executive branch and everyone in it. That’s non-controversial when Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs) occupy the White House. But when a Republican like Donald Trump is in office it’s the height of controversy.
Trump is demanding—gasp!—that federal employees, many of whom have been out of the office since Covid lockdowns, return to their offices and actually work 40 hours a week. He is also offering
On Saturday the US Army released the name of the pilot of the US Army Blackhawk helicopter that flew into a passenger jet landing at Reagan National Airport.
The crash was on Wednesday. The third pilot’s name, Rebecca Lobach, was finally released on Saturday, three days later.
All 64 passengers in the jet were killed.
The three pilots in the Blackhawk helicopter also died in the explosive crash.

The Southern California wildfires, still burning, already rank among the most destructive in the state’s fire-laden history. They have destroyed entire neighborhoods in Los Angeles, including those in the beautiful and affluent Pacific Palisades community nestled along the Pacific Ocean between Malibu and Santa Monica. The scale of the destruction and the human suffering the fires have inflicted are massive. Firefighters are continuing to battle blazes across some 62 square miles, an area larger than all of San Francisco. The latest death toll has reached 29, which would put the fires third in the state’s history for fatalities, behind only the 1933 Griffith Park fire that killed 29
Decline and Fall

When I moved to Minnesota after law school, it was considered a good place to live. The state had a strong economy, pretty good public schools and an educated work force, above average health care, very little crime and a reputation for clean government. All of that is gone. These charts tell the sad story.
Minnesota’s decline is best documented in news reports like this one: “MN High School Basketball Player Hit With Tire Iron During Game.”
Five teenagers are accused of attacking a Fridley High School varsity basketball player with a tire iron during a game at Robbinsdale Cooper High School on Tuesday night.

Have you ever thought about why you can’t check a lithium-ion battery on an airplane? It is because such batteries have a nasty habit of bursting into flames. If it happens inside the cabin, the crew is trained to put the fire out. But if it happens in the hold, it can bring down the airplane.
Spontaneous battery combustion is just one of many reasons why the ballyhooed “energy transition” will never take place. The Manhattan Contrarian, who, inconveniently for the Left, is able to multiply and divide, explains why batteries are so central to “green” energy. An enormous amount of battery storage would be needed for wind and solar energy
Rep. Mike Cloud (R-Texas) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) have introduced legislation to eliminate the excessive regulations on the suppressor, a common firearm accessory.
For pro-freedom patriots, this is all a part of the winning, but for the far left, it will be all about the whining. For Hollywood, it’s always been a fixture of spy movies to show suppressors as near-mythical devices that can make any gun completely silent, along with standard magazines with an endless supply of ammunition. The reality is that there are three sources of noise from a gunshot: the mechanical noise of the gun, the noise of the shot itself, and the breaking

The Terrible Mercy of Bishop Budde

For decades, the mainstream media and Hollywood justifiably have called out the Catholic Church for scandals involving the sexual exploitation of children by members of the church’s hierarchy. For example, the 2015 film Spotlight dramatized the Boston Globe’s exposure of the Boston Catholic archdiocese’s massive cover-up of child molestation. The film won two Oscars.
Pope Francis officially apologized and asked forgiveness for similar cases in Europe. The pontiff made it clear that Catholic doctrine and practice have never supported the abuse of children.
But for the Episcopal church’s progressive leadership, as Bishop Mariann Budde most recently revealed during the prayer service attended by President Trump
Mere days ago, a horrific tragedy struck as an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines flight near Ronald Reagan National Airport, resulting in the loss of 67 lives—three from the helicopter and 64 on the plane.
We’re still looking for answers, but one thing that many agree on is that this accident was entirely preventable. Americans nevertheless want to know exactly what happened and why, so that we can know how to prevent such accidents from happening again.
Amid the grief over this unspeakable loss, the U.S. Army made a controversial decision: to withhold the name of the female helicopter pilot involved in the accident, claiming it

Former President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, and former Chief of Staff, Kelly Magsamen, have sparked controversy by launching a personal attack on Pete Hegseth after a fatal plane crash involving a military helicopter and an American Airlines aircraft. In a sharp rebuke, the former defense official, who helped Austin cover up his absence from the Pentagon during a health crisis in January 2024, attacked Hegseth for his comments about DEI and falsely accused him of blaming the female co-pilot, Capt. Rebecca Lobach, for the incident.

James Carville has been complaining about his party for months and now he is telling everyone what he really thought of Kamala Harris as a candidate. It’s not good.
He threw Harris under the bus as a ‘seventh string’ quarterback who ‘couldn’t put together a sentence.’
Carville made the remarks during a live event for Firing Line.

The administration of now-former President Joe Biden tried to bankroll the use of electric school buses at government schools across the country.
But as the electric buses continue to have massive reliability issues, some schools regret taking the federal handouts and now want help from the Environmental Protection Agency to get themselves out of the program.
Maine Department of Education Commissioner Pender Makin wrote a letter to the agency voicing concerns with the program, asking for waived penalties for not using buses provided by manufacturer Lion Electric, according to a Monday report from WGME-TV in Portland, Maine.
“Specifically, we urge the agency to pursue legal remedies,
Senator Chuck Schumer is a lawyer, so presumably he is familiar with the provisions of 18 U.S. Code § 115. In case he has forgotten—after all, there are a lot of statutes to keep track of—Edward R.

Among other things, that statute holds that anyone who threatens a federal government official or their family with the “intent to impede, intimidate, or interfere with such official, judge, or law enforcement officer while engaged in the performance of official duties, or with intent to retaliate against such official, judge, or law enforcement officer on account of the performance

Robert Santos, who emphasized inclusivity and outreach to overlooked communities, has decided to resign as director of the U.S. Census Bureau, midway through his five-year term and in the midst of planning for the 2030 census, which will determine political power and federal funding nationwide for another decade.
Santos, who was appointed by former Democratic President Joe Biden, said in a letter Thursday evening that he made the decision “after deep reflection.” Santos was sworn in as the bureau’s 26th director, and its first Hispanic leader, in 2022.
The Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into an American Airlines plane was alerted to the plane’s presence by air control twice, the first time at least two minutes before the deadly crash, according to a Washington Post report.
Aviation experts reviewed Wednesday night’s radio transmissions, obtained by The Washington Post, and said that a soldier on the Black Hawk requested “visual separation” so that the helicopter crew could maintain a safe distance from the plane, which it could see. Both times, the request was approved by air traffic control.
At 8:48 p.m., about 12 seconds after the second air traffic control tower alert, the helicopter and passenger plane collided.

All over America supporters of Donald Trump are riding high. (Snip) This is a long war, and the guys on the other side have no intention of simply packing up and going home. David A. Lebryk was until yesterday the Fiscal Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. He was a “non-political” civil servant who controlled the computerized payment system the government uses to pay out $6 trillion a year. He was the guy who actually controlled all the money the federal government spent, where it went, and to whom. Donald Trump directed Lebryk to give the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) headed by Elon Musk access to the payment system.

A grieving pal of US Army Capt. Rebecca Lobach, who was on the doomed military chopper that crashed into a passenger jet in DC, remembered her as “brilliant and fearless” in a moving tribute Saturday. Army vet and USA Today reporter Davis Winkie credited the killed pilot as instrumental in helping him navigate the “hardest periods” of his personal life during their time together in the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Army ROTC. “Rebecca was brilliant and fearless, a talented pilot and a PT stud,” Winkie wrote on X, noting both he and Lobach bonded over being “latecomers” to the ROTC program, joining midway through their third year.
