wildswan said...: I believe some of the craziness we're seeing in Wisconsin is directly caused by the deliberate exclusion of the right from employment by the state university system. This is a divided state, 50% Republican, 50% Democrat. Yet the University of Wisconsin only hires left of center people. Its own students, children of tax payers who pay for the University, trained by its own professors won't get hired unless they come from the 50% of the population with LeftyGoodThink.
This is unfair and probably illegal but my point right now is that the faculty and staff never hear arguments from peers. The University used to be a place for discussion but one one side been systematically excluded for years. Those who do get hired never hear their peers, professors or high-level administrators disagreeing. We the people look to the University for ideas and policy proposals. But the University now has Bud Light Syndrome - a conviction that one knows what's best for this or that group or product along with a complete lack of contact with the actual group. So the original harm came to the right which was excluded. But then there's knock-on harm that comes to the black community when lefty policies lead to enormous increases in crime and murder and huge school failures centered in the black community but the leftys can't discuss the problem because they're afraid that disagreement or exploratory thinking will get them labelled with dread scarlet R for Republican leading to cancellation.

Once the University would have led the way to solutions with discussions, proposals. But then the University (probably illegally) began to exclude half the state's population by an opaque hiring process. Just how the exclusion is done I couldn't say but you can see from the outcome that religious and political exclusion is going on. Half the state has been excluded except for supplying cash to run the University.\

And the point is this: this exclusion isn't just bad for those on the right; it's gone on to be bad for the black community; and then gone still further on, to be bad for children who are being frightened by apocalyptic visions of a dying planet and by eager mutilators roaming unchecked among their teachers. And still the left at the University doesn't speak up. It's on them because they excluded the right awhile back so that these failing policies are the pure products of a lefty regime.; 6/15/23, 11:17 PM
Humperdink said...: Maximum Leader Joe Biden: “We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean."

I am curious as to whether the Bribe-em administration will release the aforementioned plans. Knowing Joe Biden's track record, I suspect he or Mayor Pete just plagiarized Henry Flagler's plans for the Key West railroad.

How long can the media cover this blooming idiot? Answer? As long as it takes.; 6/16/23, 4:23 AM

@sarainitaly
Did Leftists suddenly forget ALL of the names they called Bush and Trump? I remember msnbc launching nightly screeds, throwing every name in the book at GOP Presidents.
The Left are the biggest friggin corrupt lying hateful hypocritical lunatics.

wild chicken said...: Lem what did Fauci mean?

That gay men would go crazy or the virus would? I thought cdc was trying all that time to come up with a vax but couldn't.

The virologist peter Duesberg said it was because AIDS was a lifestyle disease not really caused by HIV.

Boy did he pay for that; 6/16/23, 6:53 AM

This is why progressives are eager to nationalize everything (that they run). Without counterexamples available, they don't have to worry about the results of their leftist policies comparing unfavorably with conservative policies.; 6/16/23, 9:52 AM

They haven't blossomed yet.
I have them in my garden and they have beautiful orange flowers.

Gospace said...: Newser has an article on the newest and bestest covid vaccines soon to arrive at your local pharmacist. Scroll down to the comment section- I didn't even bother adding one. Seems the public reaction is less then overwhelmingly favorable.
