School Apologizes After Pledge of Allegiance Recited… In Spanish
by Shifra on November 28, 2018Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish…and German? From the Dept. of What were they thinking? Via Washington Times. Administrators at a Virginia high school have apologized for a plan to have the Pledge of Allegiance said in different languages by students. Westfield High School in Fairfax came under fire before Thanksgiving by upset parents when they found out that their children were being asked to recite the Pledge in Spanish. The original plan was to have native speakers of various languages, such as French or German, lead others in the routine. “A school administrator suggested students lead the pledge in Spanish to promote engagement and inclusion,” a statement released to a local Fox affiliate said. “Administrators believed this was...

Sad Story: Obama Lied… ‘Chevy Volt’ Died
by Shifra on November 28, 2018Remember Obama bragging how he “saved” General Motors? And how he promised he would buy a Chevy Volt when he left office, because “I liked sitting in it. It was nice. I’ll bet it drives real good.” (Wow, the greatest orator of the century is truly a wordsmith!) But as Liz Peek noted in the Fiscal Times, Obama’s auto bailout was really a hefty union payoff. And now that the Chevy Volt will no longer be manufactured, Obama’s promise will not be fulfilled…as though he had any intention of buying a Chevy. Now that the Obamas are on their way to becoming billionaires, a Chevy will most likely not be their car of choice. Via Breitbart. Six years ago, President...

Flashback: ‘Morning Joe’ Mocks President Trump’s Caravan ‘Non-Story’
by Shifra on November 27, 2018Mika and Schmoe, er, Joe, “titans of journalism.” Yeah, no. Via CNS. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were quick to mock President Trump and Fox News after the midterms about the migrant caravan swarming to the U.S.-Mexico border, sarcastically remarking on Morning Joe that the story was overblown, had no legs, and was essentially an election stunt. However, there are 7,000-plus migrants now in Tijuana and Mexicali and more than 40 people attempted to breach a hole in the border fence yesterday and another 42 migrants were caught and arrested on U.S. soil…. It’s unlikely that MSNBC’s Mika and Joe will retract their doltish mockery of the caravan story. For the record, here is what these titans of journalism...

Incoming FL Gov DeSantis Promises Action Against AirBnB’s Boycott of Israel
by Shifra on November 27, 2018Bravo to Governor-Elect Ron DeSantis for his steadfast support of Israel. The Dem who lost the election, Andrew Gillum, aligns himself with “progressive” groups that support the anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement. Yes, “elections have consequences” Via Daily Wire. On Monday, incoming governor Ron DeSantis of Florida stated bluntly that if Airbnb does not rescind its recently-instituted policy of delisting listings from Israeli Jews in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), he will work to make sure that Florida state officials are not permitted to use Airbnb for official travel. DeSantis stated: The other issue that’s now coming to the forefront is this new policy by Airbnb to basically discriminate against Jews in the West Bank. They delisted all...

CA Fire Leaves Thousands Homeless. Alyssa Milano Raises Funds For Caravan
by Shifra on November 26, 2018Aftermath of N. California fire This is what Libs do best: “Virtue-signaling” and misreading normal Americans. Via BizPac Review. Only weeks after thousands of Americans teamed up to try and help actress Alyssa Milano find shelter for her horses as the wildfires in California threatened her home, she chose to show her gratitude by asking the American people to donate their money to help asylum refugees…. You are the kind of person I don’t understand at all. We helped save your horses from a fire that was the worst fire in California history. People died. People have absolutely nothing left. They’re living in tents. They are your fellow Americans and neighbors. Help them. — Marion O'Connor (@Owind1950) November 25, 2018...

Scientists Suggest Dimming The Sun… To Fight ‘Global Warming’
by Shifra on November 26, 2018From the Dept. of “What could possibly go wrong?” Via CNN. Scientists are proposing an ingenious but as-yet-unproven way to tackle climate change: spraying sun-dimming chemicals into the Earth’s atmosphere. The research by scientists at Harvard and Yale universities, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, proposes using a technique known as stratospheric aerosol injection, which they say could cut the rate of global warming in half. The technique would involve spraying large amounts of sulfate particles into the Earth’s lower stratosphere at altitudes as high as 12 miles. The scientists propose delivering the sulfates with specially designed high-altitude aircraft, balloons or large naval-style guns…. Despite the technology being undeveloped and with no existing aircraft suitable for adaptation, the researchers...

Politically Correct Weatherman Uses Term “Snowperson,” Hilarity Ensues
by Shifra on November 25, 2018Snowperson? What if the snowman self-identifies as a snow woman? Via Western Journal. The icy grip of political correctness was met with waves of mockery on social media this week as a Weather Channel personality used the term “snowperson” to describe a New Hampshire snowman. On Tuesday, Mike Seidel posted a tweet summing up the winter-like weather pummeling the Northeast. It included a submitted photo of a snowman and an ominous forecast for Thanksgiving Day. “1st snowperson of the season and the 2nd snowfall in less than a week in Nashua, NH,” he wrote…. 1st snowperson of the season and the 2nd snowfall in less than a week in Nashua, NH. Thanks to @TheMattSaffer for the eyes, nose, etc.Thanksgiving forecast...

Study: Hillary’s 2016 Defeat Worsening Mental Health Problems In College Students
by Shifra on November 23, 2018In normal development, children do not usually have difficulty “losing” by the age of ten. Some of the responses of these Hillary-voting college students suggest that they have the emotional maturity of Kindergartners. Via PJ Media. A new academic study strongly suggests that Hillary Clinton’s defeat during the 2016 election is exacerbating the mental health crisis among college students. Led by University of Miami Professor Heather Claypool, the study sought to determine if the election would impact students’ mental health and well-being. Claypool surveyed 262 students at the school before and after the 2016 election…. The results, published two years later in a peer-reviewed psychology journal, found that students who supported Clinton emotionally struggled with the results of the election....

How Great Is Job Market Under President Trump? Employers Hiring… Over The Phone
by Shifra on November 21, 2018Remember the so-called “new normal” two part-time jobs, sluggish economy under Obama? Well, it was not “normal,” and now, under the Trump Economy, eager employers are hiring, often after just one phone interview. Via WSJ. Want a job? Just pick up the phone. That’s what 22-year-old Jamari Powell did in September after applying to Macy’s outside Portland, Ore. He got an email within 12 hours of submitting his online application. The message: We’re calling soon, so answer the phone. After a 25-minute interview, Mr. Powell said he was offered a full-time seasonal sales job at $12.25 an hour. “It was a little weird,” he said. “You’re kind of like: ‘Is this real?’ It kind of feels like a scam almost.”...

Video: Smug Obama Rambles, Mocks People He’s Worked With, Uses Obscene Term
by Shifra on November 21, 2018And another “gem” from an incoherent, er, the “greatest orator of our generation:” “We could have electricity and smartphones and all that stuff which would buy us probably another 20, 30 years for that technological breakthrough that’s necessary,”…. The reason we don’t do it is because we are still confused, blind, shrouded with hate, anger, racism, mommy issues.” “Mommy issues” – said the man whose father abandoned him, and whose mother dragged him around to Third-World countries before dumping him on his grandparents. Via American Mirror. Former President Barack Obama used a disgusting term on Monday when discussing officials who do not cower to his demands. While speaking at the Obama Foundation in Chicago, the former president complained about the...

Scarborough Has Rev. Al Slam Trump, Forgets He Condemned ‘Racist’ Sharpton
by Shifra on November 20, 2018It is outrageous and disgusting to see how MSNBC has rewarded Sharpton with his own show. He has a long history of race-baiting and anti-Semitism; Google “Freddy’s Fashion Mart” to recall how his rhetoric incited the massacre of seven people. And Sharpton played a big role in the three-day Crown Heights anti-Semitic riots, in which several innocents were murdered. Looks like Morning Schmoe Joe Scarborough’s hatred for President Trump caused him to forget how, as a congressman, he had called out Sharpton for his racism and anti-Semitism. So now we have “Rev. Al,” who referred to Jews as “bloodsuckers” and “Jew-bastards,” weighing in on President Trump. Nice going, MSNBC. Via Twitchy. How is Joe Scarborough so bad at this? And...

UK University Warns Faculty: Using CAPITAL LETTERS Can Upset Students
by Shifra on November 20, 2018Not. Kidding. Oh wait…not. kidding. This university is probably thrilled with the poems of e.e. cummings, who wrote mostly in lower case letters. Via Yahoo. Lecturers have been banned from using capital letters when assigning work to students because it might upset them. Staff at Leeds Trinity’s journalism department have been told writing to students using capital letters could ‘scare them into failure’ and instead suggested using a ‘friendly tone’ and avoiding the use of negative language. Critics have since slammed the memo, saying it is just aiding to the ‘snowflake’ generation being overindulged throughout their education – following incidents in Manchester and Kent. The memo said: ‘Despite our best attempts to explain assessment tasks, any lack of clarity can...

Bernie Sanders Wants To ‘Stop Walmart’ Because… Socialism!
by Shifra on November 19, 2018Under President Trump, unemployment is at record lows, consumer confidence is at an 18-year high. In short, the economy is booming. One would think Bernie Sanders might want to take a step back and try to understand that cutting taxes and deregulating the economy helped usher in the “Trump boom.” Ol’ Bern reminds me of the definition my father gave me when, at age ten, I asked him what the word “socialist” meant. He told me that a socialist is a stupid person who thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Via IBD. Socialism: Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-declared socialist who’s never held a steady job outside government, thinks he knows better than CEOs how to run a business. And...

Ocasio-Cortez Plays ‘Victim Card’ After Being Mocked For Latest ‘Word-Slips’
by Shifra on November 19, 2018Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez apparently does not know the three “chambers,” er, branches of government are not the Presidency, Senate & House — Hint: it’s legislative (Congress), executive (POTUS), and judicial (the courts). She also does not seem to understand the difference between “word-slips” and plain ignorance. Via BizPac Review. For someone who has thrust herself on the national stage, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez sure has thin skin. The proud democratic socialist and newly elected congresswoman from New York has a knack for making confusing statements, or “word slips,” as she calls them, and is real quick to play the victim if anyone calls attention to them. Her latest flub occurred on Saturday when Ocasio-Cortez called for taking back “all three chambers of Congress,”...
