    And the madness continues...

    Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice...

    Racist Boulder Removed From University Campus

    The University of Wisconsin recently spent as much as $50,000 to remove a boulder known as “Chamberlin Rock” from campus… in the name of racial justice. The large rock, estimated to be 2 BILLION years old, was placed on campus in the 1920s to honor a geologist and past president of the university, Thomas Chamberlin. Now, you might be thinking that Chamberlin was a terrible racist, and that’s why they moved the rock. But that’s actually incorrect. Chamberlin was born in 1843 to a family of staunch abolitionists who left North Carolina because they thought slavery was evil.

    The primary issue is that, in 1925, after the boulder had already been placed on campus and dedicated to Chamberlin, a local newspaper used a racial term when referring to the rock. That single newspaper article was literally the source of all the commotion. And so, because some irrelevant newspaper reporter who had nothing to do with Thomas Chamberlin used a racist term to refer to the rock, one time, nearly 100 years ago, the mob demanded action.The rock has now been relocated. But even more, the plaque honoring Chamberlin has been taken down. What exactly did Thomas Chamberlin do wrong to be de-honored and have his name tarnished? Well, the students who demanded this change don’t exactly know. But they assumed that, since the reporter who wrote about the rock was a bad guy, and the rock was placed in honor of Chamberlin, then Chamberlin must also have been a bad guy too.

    Woke logic makes perfect sense!

    Teachers Union Sues Mom for Demanding to See Her Child’s Curriculum

    The National Education Association teachers union is suing a Rhode Island mom after she made Freedom of Information requests of her child’s school. The NEA is also suing the local school board for fulfilling many of the requests. Nicole Solas was told by the principal of her child’s public elementary school that the school does not use the terms “boys and girls” and instead uses gender neutral pronouns. When Solas requested specifics about the school’s policies, the principle told her she should file a Freedom of Information request.

    That’s exactly what Solas did, filing about 200 requests for information relating to the school’s gender policies, Critical Race Theory in the curriculum, and disciplinary action against teachers. For example, she requested emails between teachers and administration that contained the words “whiteness” and “race”, as well as, “All lesson plans in which the concept of ‘whiteness’ as a social construct is discussed, at all grade levels.” But the teachers union thinks Solas has no right to see what the public school is teaching her kid. And it thinks the school board violated the privacy of union members when it turned over certain documents containing private communications.

      Woke Nonsense Is Warping Everyday Life

      Americans are growing angrier by the day, but in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or the Tea Party movement over a decade ago. The rage this time is not just fueled by conservatives. For the first time in their lives, Americans of all classes and races are starting to fear a self-created apocalypse that threatens their family's safety and the American way of life.

      The border is not just porous as in the pre-Trump past. It is arguably nonexistent. Some 2 million people may cross illegally in the current fiscal year, according to reports -- with complete impunity. There is zero effort to stop them. Officials hector Americans daily to get vaccinated and tested for COVID-19. But they are mute about illegal entrants, some of them no doubt infected with the virus. Have we ever had a president who made no pretense about destroying federal immigration law and asking of Americans what he does not ask of those entering the country illegally? Joe Biden has also conceded that his moratorium on housing evictions defied a Supreme Court ruling. He added that he probably didn't have the legal authority to ignore the court but didn't really care. As in the case of demolishing immigration law, the president seems either unaware or proud that he is insidiously dismantling the Constitution.

      America has also never before seen such overt and multifaceted efforts to undermine the foundations of free-market capitalism. At a time of resurging GDP, low unemployment and record worker shortages, Biden has announced that renters can continue to avoid paying what they owe their landlords -- even after a prior year of free housing. In a rebounding economy amid record debt, the government is still sending workers unemployment benefits that are more remunerative than the paychecks they would earn if employed. Such insanity not only means that labor-short employers can't provide goods and services to American consumers; the new ethos also institutionalizes the pernicious idea that it is smarter to stay home and be idle than to get a job and be productive.

      Biden is also considering further extending exemptions for the repayment of $1.7 trillion in student loans. That amnesty will only further mainstream this growing notion that borrowing money entails no legal or moral obligation to pay it back. No one seems to acknowledge that both students and the universities that lured them to borrow knew the risks they were taking. Meanwhile, millions of American youth, the working classes who choose not to attend college, and those who paid off their loans or whose parents saved enough over the years to cover their tuition obligations will subsidize the debt evaders by paying higher taxes. Inflation is roaring back. Soaring prices are a direct result of incentivizing the unemployed not to work, while discouraging manufacturers and producers of food, gas, oil, timber, mineral and metals. Rising crime rates are likewise not accidental. Increasing crime is the logical result of releasing thousands of criminals from prison, defunding and defaming the police, and empowering woke mayors and prosecutors to contextualize crime as the fault of society, not the criminal.

      In response, millions of Americans now simply avoid the mayhem of big cities in blue states. Race relations have regressed 50 years. Under the fad of critical race theory, the color of our skin is now deemed essential to who we are. Most Americans still integrate and assimilate, and many intermarry. But the current woke revolution is an elite, top-down effort to smear a self-critical and always improving nation as some sort of contemporary racist hellhole.

      George Orwell would say of these cultural Marxists that they grab power in the present to reinvent the past in order to control our futures. All this multifaceted chaos is not just faculty lounge stuff. We are beginning to see the collective craziness filter down to disruptions in our everyday lives. Airliners cannot take off due to fuel shortages. Automobiles, houses, gas and lumber are in short supply. Consumers can't get their roofs fixed, their houses painted or their trees trimmed, as employers plead with their idle, government-subsidized employees to come back to work. Many Americans have lost faith in the FBI, the CIA, the Pentagon, the CDC and most of the other federal bureaucracies, which are as politicized as they are incompetent.

      What started out as elite woke nonsense now warps daily life. If we don't wake up from wokeness, we will continue on our sure trajectory to self-inflicted, systemic paralysis -- followed by civilizational collapse.

        Woke CDC Publishes Guide With ‘Preferred Terms’ Americans Should Use; Suggest Citizens Refrain From Using “Dehumanizing Language” Like “Inmate” or “Foreigners” In the Name of Public Health




        After telling Americans how to live for a year-and-a-half, the corrupt swamp creatures at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are now attempting to tell them what to say, as well.

        The CDC has published a new guide on their website, listing dozens of “preferred terms” meant to replace speech that is already commonly used to describe certain types of people or groups.

        “Language in communication products should reflect and speak to the needs of people in the audience of focus. The following provides some preferred terms for select population groups; the terms to try to use represent an ongoing shift toward non-stigmatizing language.” – The CDC guide reads

        The ‘expert’ health officials claim that these speech codes will lead to better “health equity” and “inclusive communication” for marginalized groups

        The CDC is using a common, but effective, Marxist tactic of redefining language and shifting the discussion to further their teardown of established societal norms.

        The guidelines lay out several examples of what they call “Dehumanizing language” and gives the reader an alternative term to use instead for each one.

        The list is as ridiculous as it is dystopian. Almost every example they provide is benign and their recommendations are needlessly complex, some of the new terms even seem to be more offensive than the current ones they are meant to replace.

        Not that it needs to be clarified, but people getting offended is the least of these tyrants worries.

        Here are just a few examples from the CDC’s PC speech guidelines:


        1.. Inmate / Parolee
        2..Handicapped / Differently Abled
        3..Drug-users / Smokers
        4..Rural people / Poor people
        5..Biologically or genetically male/female / Gendered pronouns (He, She, Him, Her)




        Try this…

        1.. People who were formerly incarcerated / Persons on Parole or Probation
        2.. People who use a wheelchair or mobility device / People with an intellectual or developmental disability
        3.. People who inject drugs / People who smoke
        4.. People who live in sparsely populated areas / People with self-reported income in the lowest income bracket
        5.. Assigned or designated male/female at birth / Singular they or their”

          EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Tech syllabus apologizes for instructor's White skin

          Crystal Duncan Lane, an instructor in Virginia Tech’s Department of Human Development and Family Science, apologized to students of racial minorities for being white.Students told 'Campus Reform' that they disagreed with the instructor's decision to include the apology in her syllabus.

          A human development and family science instructor at Virginia Tech University recently apologized to her students of color for her whiteness and encouraged white students to “join" her "on this journey” of confronting inherent biases.Duncan Lane created a “Who I Am” section in her Human Development 1134 syllabus to speak on her experience with racism. She began with an extensive description of her demographics...



          Virginia Tech student Natalie Rhodes told Campus Reform, “It is a class about disabilities, not political opinion, affiliation, nor judgment in any sort. If you are discussing disabilities, stick to your course." Campus Reform spoke with another student who request anonymity.

          “It hurts that someone says I was born with “innate racism” because of my skin color," the student said. "[It] makes me feel like I should hide and worry about everything I say."

          Campus Reform reached out to Crystal Duncan Lane and Virginia Tech; this article will be updated accordingly.

            After writing her syllabus she should've swallowed a razor blade for an encore. Shaking my head. Just proves again very thin margin between scholar and an idiot, and she is the later of the two.

                Obama holds the ''record'',still,for drone ATTACKS,which killed thousands of innocent civilians,but who's counting?...Right liberal elites?...Obomber's legacy was endless war for 8 years...bombing 7 Muslim countries,smashing Libya to pieces,assisting the Saudis in the bloodbath of Yemen,trying to overthrow Assad with the help of the CIA under ''Timber Sycamore''...It was a failure and the weapons ended up in ISIS hands,turned a blind eye to the war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan,with enhanced interrogation techniques like water-boarding,who 'green-lighted' the CIA to kidnap people off the streets(many innocent)and take them to secret detention centers in cooperating countries,and then told us to ''look forward,not back''....Don't even get me started how he bailed out the banks while millions of ''working class Americans'' lost their homes...POS that he is...These same ''educated'' liberal elites STILL to this day....''KISS HIS ASS''....F*cking brainwashed arrogant elitist MORONS!!!!!

                        ‘Racial Equity Team’ at Seattle Elementary School Cancels Annual Halloween Parade Because it “Marginalizes Students of Color”


                        A Seattle elementary school canceled its annual Pumpkin Parade because it “marginalizes students of color who don’t celebrate the holiday.”

                        The ‘Racial Equity Team’ at Benjamin Elementary school in Seattle canceled the parade and said students cannot dress up in costumes this year.

                        Instead, the children will participate in “inclusive” events like “thematic units of study about the fall” and reviewing “autumnal artwork,” the New York Post reported.

                        “There are numerous community and neighborhood events where students and families who wish to can celebrate Halloween,” a Seattle Public Schools spokeswoman said in a statement provided to KTTH Radio talk show host Jason Rantz. “Historically, the Pumpkin Parade marginalizes students of color who do not celebrate the holiday. Specifically, these students have requested to be isolated on campus while the event took place.

                          Superman Abandons Fight for ‘The American Way,’ Now Stands for ‘A Better Tomorrow’

                          One week after DC Comics’ decision to make the new Superman bisexual, the comic book publisher announced that after more than a half-century, The Man of Steel is no long fighting for “truth, justice, and the American way.” He’s now standing for “truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.”

                          “Superman’s new motto of ‘Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow’ will better reflect the global storylines that we are telling across DC and to honor the character’s incredible legacy of over 80 years of building a better world,” said DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher Jim Lee. “Superman has long been a symbol of hope who inspires people from around the world, and it is that optimism and hope that powers him forward with this new mission statement.”



                          Clark Kent’s Superman’s new motto will be seen in future comic books, film, TV, and video games, the company said. The news comes just after DC Comics announced the new Superman, Jonathan Kent — son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane — is bisexual.



                          It’s the latest abandonment of tradition for the heroic and iconic comic book character. In 2017, Superman saved a group of illegal immigrants from a gun-toting white man wearing an American flag bandana who’d opened fire on them.

                          The following year, the publisher used Superman to celebrate “World Refugee Day,” reminding readers that Superman is a “refugee,” too.

                                It’s just downright pitiful when a man feels he has to apologize for such an insignificant term used 5 months ago when it’s the truth just to appease the snowflakes…

                                Texans owner Cal McNair apologizes for reported use of anti-Asian slur at golf event

                                Houston Texans owner Cal McNair has issued an apology in response to a report that he used an anti-Asian slur at a golf event. Bally Sports' Michael Silver reported on Tuesday that McNair made the statement while addressing a crowd of more than 100 people alongside his wife Hannah at the Houston Texans Foundation Charity Golf Classic in May.Two witnesses told Silver that McNair apologized to attendees for the event being canceled the year prior due to the COVID-19 pandemic as participants prepared to leave the clubhouse for the golf course.

                                (Warning: An anti-Asian slur is quoted in the text below)

                                “I’m sorry that we couldn’t get together last year, because of the China Virus," McNair said, per the report.

                                And by this article making a mountain out of a molehill out of the whole thing thinking they needed to add a warning to those snowflakes in bold italic typeface to boot before stating the quote makes it preposterous. Just how do the snowflakes manage to survive day to day in this country being as sensitive as they are? Personally…I think that the Biden administration should start working on getting a sensitivity vaccine approved… make it mandatory… and have a booster shot every six months until they can say they received their “snowflake vaccine” along with the “China vaccine” without getting offended and all choked up. Now that would be productive!

                                Then on to the next order of business… start getting to work on finding a “XY vaccine” and make that mandatory for every biological male and a “XX vaccine” for every biological female. Just try and keep mistaking one for the other to a bare minimum please. Another problem solved... on to the next.

                                Who knows… mandatory vaccinations may be the solution to our problems in the future because then every citizen will the same opinions... the same passions and the same interests.
