NY Post: "Woke NYT, 1619 Project writer deliberately sent daughter to troubled schools as a 'sacrifice' — and it backfired spectacularly"

"The teen is now “boiling” mad — badly behind her peers after finally being allowed to enroll in a more rigorous high school, her mother revealed in a bombshell bizarre essay."

Curious George કહ્યું...

Yesterday I had a toothpick lodge in my right foot, at the base of my little toe. Best guess my cat knocked in off my desk and on to the floor, as cats do. I got it picked up in my sock, and as was going out of the kitchen it caught the threshold and into the foot it went. About 3/4", and I tried but could not pull it out. No pain really, not even during removal, the Tetanus shot hurt more, but it's starting to hurt tonight. Just achy when putting pressure on it. All in all I think I lucked out.

I had a similar experience as that “boiling mad” teen 50-60 years ago. Whites were fleeing the city for the suburbs, but my left wing parents insisted on staying and sending us to the rapidly declining and unsafe city public schools. Like her, I was able to go to a magnet high school, though it was nowhere near as good as the NYC elite schools. I did ok in the end, and was never boiling mad, but my revenge was to become a Reagan conservative in college.

That Jones woman is a Notre Dame alum. Her daughter should be boiling mad. WTF is wrong with her mom? The Spanish ended child sacrifice in the Americas centuries ago.

@Lem, I read that essay too. On the one hand, had Nikole Hannah-Jones actually made every possible effort to get her daughter Nejya a good education in a school appropriately rigorous for her talents, she’d have been one of the biggest hypocrites in the history of the human race. On the other hand, that’s your child who is suffering! How can you not do your best for her?

The answer is in the title of Hannah-Jones’s piece; “In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own?” The obvious answer is affirmative — your daughter graduated middle school unable to do long division or correctly handle fractions. And neither Hannah-Jones nor her husband bothered to notice???

But who (besides herself) can honestly say that she Nikole Hannah-Jones was “fighting for every black child”? No, what she was fighting for mediocrity, and fighting to make “every black child” ignorant and incapable. I’m 80, and I was in grade school when the Freedom Riders rode, and a college undergraduate when the Voting Rights Act was passed, however I had the privilege of meeting some of the early Civil Rights activists, and I realize that Nikole Hannah-Jones blithely throws away what those men and women risked their very lives to bring to pass.. And that makes me sick to my stomach.

Still, you can add the education (lack thereof) of Nejya Hannah-Jones to a consistent pattern where 21st century woke women display a terrible attitude towards children. Abort them! Murder them! Mal-educate them! They don’t care. But if there really is a just God then those worthless biddies will suffer mightily when their kids reach adulthood. I predict retribution on an epic scale.

“Why did the green nude eel democrats shut down US refineries and drive the price of fuel up?”

@Achilles, that one is easy. They knew their policies would bring Trump back to the Oval Office, and they wanted to blame him for high gas and diesel prices.

Good thing it’s only a two week war.

🚨 according to live GasBuddy data, 10% of the nation's stations are now seeing diesel over $7 per gallon... $7.01/gal, while the bottom 10% average $5.83/gal. Median price of diesel $6.39/gal. Expecting further increases to all of these metrics.

Gas prices were higher under Biden.

Americans have noticed that Democrats are on the same team as the globalists that are working to raise gas prices in every way they can.

Keep pretending you aren't transparent to anyone with more than a room temperature IQ.

Though they should have.

“according to live GasBuddy data, 10% of the nation's stations are now seeing diesel over $7 per gallon... $7.01/gal, while the bottom 10% average $5.83/gal. ”

I assume that those are the stations selling biodiesel, which, as I explained elsewhere on previous days, is 70 to 80 cents more per gallon than diesel refined from petroleum.

I’m happy to see that Trump has forced Iran into an economic war with the strongest economy in the world — which despite the best efforts of the Biden administration is still the US. They will break.

The 1619 lady's daughter could have benefited from the poor schools, if her parents had done some basic after-school tutoring and such. Would not have taken much for her to be valedictorian in a shitty school, and she could have done well on standardized tests (if colleges even required them) because of the parents' effort. So she would have been a great college applicant with a ready-made how-I-overcame-my-shitty-urban-school essay. Even without blatant affirmative action.

The 1619 lady failed to game this out. Says a lot about her. CC, JSM

Breezy કહ્યું...

The 1619 lady had many clues of her poor decision along the years-long way, yet continued to ignore them in favor of her ego until her daughter said, “enough of this bs”, essentially.

Kudos to her, though, for writing and posting that essay.

WSJ: Oil Prices Fall for Fourth Day as Supply Concerns Ease

Jaq કહ્યું...

"Good thing most Americans aren't as stupid as you are."

Look at diesel prices

Diesel prices are more critical to the economy and putting upward pressure on pricing. Don't just look at the historic graph, which shows diesel prices higher than under Biden, who also got us involved in a war which was none of our business, but scroll down to the next graph, which compares how rapidly diesel prices rose. This oil shock is clearly connected to Trump's decision to attack Iran without even the fig leaf of a false flag to pin the blame on them.

But you have a funny definition of "most," since only about 30% of Americans support this stupid war that Israel dragged us into. Even Rubio admitted publicly that we were dragged into this war. Israel lied to Trump about what would happen and convinced him that it would be over in a couple of days. Talk about stupid!

Jaq કહ્યું...

"Ed Sheeran makes a hostage video."

You know what they say about a coward dying a thousand deaths.

Jaq કહ્યું...

"I assume that those are the stations selling biodiesel,"

I have been seeing $6.70 and I don't even live in a high gas tax state, though it is not a low tax state either. You might be right, but the evidence of my eyes says that it is probably true. Before the war that nobody outside of Bibi asked for, I bought diesel for my tractor at around $3.50, look at the chart, because that's how I remember it.

“He also reflected on the war in Iran, a deeply unpopular policy point in President Donald Trump's administration. He said he believes the U.S. will exit Iran in six months and that Americans will subsequently see gas prices reduce and inflation relax.” OWH story on visit of Sen. John Kennedy of LA.

Six months, but I think this is misinformation. Trump’s starts a major attack in October.

rehajm કહ્યું...

…the major issue is a spending problem not a revenue problem…

rehajm કહ્યું...

…the bot has you guys obsessing over diesel fuel as if that’s the only thing that matters so a bit of perspective: YoY cpi is less than 3.5 percent, 3.4 to be precise, core cpi ex food end energy is 0.4 percent, zero point four. Meanwhile earnings are still strong, equities are still up double digits for the year (in the middle of the worst month for stocks, btw…), unemployment continues a string of near record low, business sentiment is off highs of a few months ago but still well above historical averages…

…iow the incessant bellowing about how catastrophic things are economically are not having the desired effect…

Breezy કહ્યું...

That video has Ed Sheeran lamenting that his bands, some of his friends and family members bailed on him but appreciating his ticket sales went up after the Macklemore expulsion. He has all the support he needs from his fans. Screw the rest.

rehajm કહ્યું...

…yes it is an attempt at institutional pr conformity and it doesn’t seem to be having the effect they paid for…

Jaq કહ્યું...

You guys never address my specific points.

I was a big Iowahawk fan, going way back to his days as a fellow commenter on Lucianne.com, but I admit that I didn't know about "Burge's Law" but I read it now, and I don't get it, and I was wondering if you could help me out by explaining, as if I were a small child, to channel Galaxy Quest, how it applies to my comments.

Leland કહ્યું...

“equities are still up double digits for the year”.
Also double digits YoY.

Unemployment is at 4.1%. While the federal government has shed 270,000 workers since January 2025, the US economy added 162,000 jobs in August alone.

Jaq કહ્યું...

I can't get that Ed Sheeran video to play, but this is what Google AI Overview about his ticket sales says.

***No, Ed Sheeran's ticket resale prices and secondary market demand actually plummeted rather than went up following the removal of Macklemore from his tour.📉

Ticket Price Drops

Resale collapse: Prices for remaining U.S. dates on the Loop Tour fell sharply across nearly all upcoming venues.Steep discounts: Entry-level "get-in" ticket prices for shows dropped by 45% to over 50%, with some tickets dropping as low as $37 to $42.

Inventory surge: Available resale ticket volume spiked significantly as fans listed their seats following the controversy and subsequent walkouts by other supporting acts ***.

So I have no idea what Sheeran is talking about, but I will say this, Republicans were gaining ground with young people and minorities until he joined Israel's jihad agains Iran, and Israel's genocide, oh excuse me, it's "sanitation" is that what you call it, of the "biomass infesting Gaza" —Is that better language for you guys?— is far less popular among Americans and Israel's support in America will die out with its superannuated supporters. That's why Republicans and Democrats are trying to pass laws to get money and weapons to Israel over the next several years that will not require an actual vote. Democrats want it because their hands will be tied once they have majorities, they won't be able to whine to their voters that it's all those wascawy wepubwicans.

Who has the cards now?

I am reliably informed that no Russian refinery was attacked prior to the commencement of the 3-Day Special Military Operation on the 24th Feb 2022.

So Trump started a war that has blocked one of the most important oil transport arteries, but somehow its Ukraine hitting Russian refineries (who's export prospects are pretty limited anyway) is the one who is at fault?

Erwin Zeron, an illegal immigrant from Honduras with suspected gang affiliation, was arrested for speeding and driving without a license.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents later determined Zeron was wanted in Honduras for his involvement in a 2016 shooting massacre at a billiard hall.

Funny thing is that he doesn’t show up in those “50% of illegals arrested have no criminal record” memes that the Left loves, because he has no convictions (yet) in the U.S.

Poor guy was just speeding …

That's what happens when the money supply expands and there are no new places for all of that money to go. As for jobs reports, I don't. see any reason to trust Trump's numbers any more than Bidens' numbers were trustworthy.

Ending Iran's war and sponsorship of global terrorism (e.g. Iran-Hamasidal Affair and Gazan occupation, Persian occupation) is a popular choice. Addressing inflation progression forced by Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacares redistributive change schemes is also a long overdue progression. Aborting the spread of the Green blight, and renewing reliable energy production, including reopening or rebuilding refineries to refresh the availability of gas, diesel, fertilizers, etc, will also provide economic relief. The Learing and grifting in academia, catastrophic anthropogenic immigration reform violation of civil rights, etc. This effort is a viable fetus still gestating in mother America's womb. An effort that Diverse special, peculiar, and foreign interests would like to abort.

Jaq કહ્યું...

Money supply is created by borrowing, basically if you borrow money from a bank, the bank uses it's connection to the Fed to "create" the money, and you promise to pay it back, so once you pay off the loan, the money disappears again. Well, most of the borrowing has been coming from on sector, AI.

***AI Stock Market Impact

75% of Returns: Driven by AI-tied companies since late 2022.

45% Market Cap: AI-linked stocks represent a record share of the S&P 500.

26.6 Percentage Points: Contribution of semiconductor stocks alone to recent broader market gains.

Top Heavy Concentration: The "Magnificent Seven" tech giants make up nearly a third of total market value.***

I guess Trump can take credit for the AI boom, why not? There are suckers born every minute.

What "global terrorism" does Iran support? I am genuinely curious, or are you just repeating a propaganda trope that is true because it has been repeated so many times, it's the easiest thing to think, and research has shown that people tend to evaluate a statement as true based on how easy it is to think.

I have been commenting here since W was president, at least. If there are any "bots" on this website, I would say that they are the ones who repeat the talking points from Fox News as if they were gospel. Mind numbed robots, ironically enough. This war, and this support for Israel has drained the Republican Party of its intellectual energy, because these policies can only be supported by lies, and lies don't bear much scrutiny. It's a real shame.

@Jaq, between 2020 and 2024 11 refineries stopped processing crude oil in the United States. Some of the ones that did not close have expanded so the net loss of production is roughly 816,000 barrels PER DAY no longer processed. Given that the laws of supply and demand have not been suspended, prices necessarily are up.

For me the war is personal. My son and his lovely, intelligent wife, and the world’s prettiest and smartest granddaughter live inside the DC Beltway because daughter in law is a scientist working for the federal government. So if the Iranians develop nuclear bombs o expect the first three cities to be attacked will be Tel Aviv, New York, and Washington, DC, not necessarily in that order. So I stand to lose some very precious people. Consequently I don’t give a damn about your concerns. Trump is doing the right thing.

And only a blithering idiot thinks Trump is ANYBODY’S puppet. So go blither.

"So if the Iranians develop nuclear bombs"

Why would Iran destroy its own 3,500 year old civilization?

We have been literally starving the North Koreas with our sanctions since the end of the Korean War, and they have nukes, and still you manage to sleep at night.

This is a pretext. The real issue is that they resist Israel's complete domination of the Middle East, which Tel Aviv Ted Cruz, or was it Pastor Huckabee, said was Israel's right, based on a document from the Bronze Age, that is full of genocide, BTW. Shall I quote Joshua?

***Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.***

***And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.***

***21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.

22 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

25 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.***

Sounds like genocide to me. Most modern Jewish people take this stuff with a grain of salt, or as a peace of history not to be repeated. They don't take it literally, like Cruz and Huckabee. I don't think even Netanyahu believes it, he just uses it, maybe his real name is "Net Yahoos."
