Poor Jill Biden, so caricatured by the media is just another woman looking for relevance. If her husband were president, the now now antiquated German custom of addressing married women and widows by their husbands’ or deceased husbands’ titles could be recycled. And instead of “frau doktor” she could be called “Frau President” and that beats “doctor’ and “Flotus” by a mile…..rsk

Morocco’s General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DGST) announced last month that the Moroccan authorities have dismantled 207 terrorist cells since 2002.
As for Morocco… it is the Islamists, and not Israel, who have “corrupted the minds of Moroccans, sowed the seeds of discord among them, brought Moroccan education to the brink of bankruptcy and legitimized ignorance.” — Ahmed Assid, professor of philosophy and activist, kifache.com, December 15, 2020.
“The rhetoric of hostility and the threat of throwing the Jews into the sea won Israel widespread international sympathy. The Palestinians have missed many opportunities, and they have been chasing the illusions given to them by the [Arab] regimes…” — Sa’id Al-Kahal, a secular Moroccan author, hespress.com, January 23, 2020.
If the new US administration wants peace in the region to hold, it needs to maintain pressure on the mullahs in Tehran and not return to the policy of appeasement. Failure to do so would facilitate the mission of the Islamists to destabilize the Middle East, and especially the courageous countries that are finally opting for peace.
Will Morocco face Islamist terror attacks after its decision to normalize its relations with Israel? Iran and its Islamists proxies in Morocco, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip have condemned the Israel-Morocco normalization deal as a “betrayal of Islam,” a move that could lead to a wave of terror attacks by various Islamist groups, particularly Islamic State (ISIS).
Now that Morocco has decided to make peace with Israel, ISIS and other terrorist groups are likely to increase their plans to thwart the agreement by launching terror attacks in the country.

Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is ripping Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials for prioritizing the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine for 100 million “essential workers” ahead of elderly populations.
“Heartless, arrogant, unelected CDC bureaucrats have decided that the lives of elderly Americans just don’t count. For months the CDC has been telling us that the elderly are the most vulnerable,” she said in a post on Twitter. “But now, they are recommending a 100 million so-called ‘essential workers,’ which means healthy people working at everything from liquor stores to telephone companies, that they can get the vaccine before our grandparents can. That members of Congress like me can get the vaccine before at risk seniors can. People like my aunt, who is imprisoned in her own home because of the danger that if she catches the disease, she could die.”
“This is immoral and bad health policy,” Gabbard continued.
The CDC’s own data and presentations about vaccine prioritization show elderly populations are the most at risk for death. Yet, “experts” are rejecting that science because “racial and ethnic minority groups are underrepresented.”

President Trump’s attorney Jesse Binnall complained that his opening statement before a Senate Homeland Security hearing on election fraud was banned on YouTube. Binnall tweeted, “YouTube has decided that my opening statement in the U.S. [Senate], given under oath and based upon hard evidence, is too dangerous for you to see; they removed it. To this day, ‘our evidence has never been refuted, only ignored.’ Why is Google so afraid of the truth?” The following message appeared when his testimony was searched: “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.” These “Community Guidelines are designed to ensure our community stays protected.”
On December 9, YouTube updated its policy on “election-related misinformation.” “Our policies disallow content alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of a historical U.S. presidential election. Starting today, we will remove new content uploaded on or after December 9, 2020, alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.”
YouTube employees are fairly intelligent people. YouTube’s CEO has a degree from Harvard University. If they sincerely wanted to protect the community from false information, they should have allowed Binnall’s video to remain on YouTube. By banning it, they activated the “Streisand Effect.” The Streisand effect occurs when an attempt to censor information has the unintended consequence of further publicizing the information. It’s named after Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress a photograph of her residence in Malibu, California drew further attention to it. The censored video was immediately posted on BitChute.
The censorship accomplished two things. It increased to number of viewers and further popularized a YouTube competitor. The video briefly appeared on YouTube again on Monday morning. At 1:23 A.M., it had 52,349 views with 2.3K positive and 15 negative ratings. The ratio of positive to negative response must have shocked YouTube execs. One of the comments read, “The Fact that YouTube deleted it is why I wanted to see this…”
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/professor_asserts_black_votes_should_count_twice.html
“One person, one vote” is no longer enough for progressives, apparently. Professor Brandon Hasbrouck, who teaches criminal law, race relations law and critical theory at Washington and Lee University, believes the votes of Black Americans should be counted twice in all U.S. elections as a form of “voter reparations.” Hasbrouck wrote a piece published in The Nation in which he stated that the core problem is the Electoral College. He posited that it is somehow unfair that the mostly white state of Wyoming gets three electors while Atlanta, which is 58% Black, gets none, and “can only occasionally overcome the mostly white and conservative votes from elsewhere in the state.”
Umm, professor, Electoral College votes are divvied up by state, and Atlanta is a city. And the large black population of Atlanta goes a long way towards determining who wins the state of Georgia, and therefore its Electoral College votes, whether small, rural, white towns and hamlets like it or not. The eminent purveyor of “race relations law” wrote: “Vote reparations would create possibilities to build what W.E.B. Du Bois called ‘abolition democracy,’ or the practice of achieving a racially just society. Abolition democracy invites us to engage with abolition not as a finite goal but as a radical process of challenging injustices wherever and in whatever form they might appear. Vote reparations would empower us to replace oppressive institutions with life-affirming structures of economic, social, and political equality. And if our elected representatives did not prioritize this transformational work, we could vote them out.” Twice.
He added, “Vote reparations would be a giant step toward remedying our nation’s long history of denying and devaluing Black votes. To address systemic racism, we must transform how we choose our government.” By denying and devaluing white votes, in a systematically racist manner! And we already have transformed how we choose our government. We now know leftists steal elections if they aren’t sure if they can win them fairly.
This reveals Professor Hasbrouck’s idea as not only absurdly racist, but entirely superfluous at this point.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/12/systemic_chaos_in_liberal_education_land.html
It’s hard to decide whether to laugh or cry at the education chaos in Liberal Land. There’s Dalton, the swank private school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, whose staff has just issued a 24-point anti-racist manifesto demanding, amongst other things, twelve diversity officers, thusly
Expand the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to include at least 12 full-time positions: one Director, one Office Assistant, three full-time staff members per division, and one full-time staff member for PE/Athletics.
Back when I went to a swank private school in England in the 1960s, I’d say the total administrative staff, from headmaster and bursar down to office staff, was no more than five.
Then there’s the school district in swank Brookline, Massachusetts, a town full to the brim with highly-credentialed, well-paid experts and NPR honchos like Meghna Chakrabarti who all seem to have the credentials to boss around the school district and its teachers’ union. Because credentials.
(I wonder if Chakrabarti is a relative of Sandy O’s former eminence-grise, Saikat Chakrabarti? Maybe not: Chakraborty means “ruler of the country,” peasants.)
I have an idea. Maybe this system of politics-and-protest is a good way to cause chaos in our children’s education.

If today’s poisonous cancel culture is ever to be remedied, the cause must be understood.
When deliberating the origin, most just point to America’s universities and say, “they did it.” And, clearly, that’s where the programming occurs, but it doesn’t explain why.
Selwyn Duke recently noted that vanguard leftists have “indoctrinated the young in schools to transform them into foot soldiers in the leftist campaign of civilizational rape.” Those foot soldiers are today’s cancel culture warriors.
But why did old-time educators morph into purveyors of cancel culture hate? How did it happen?
The Vietnam War did it. Or, more precisely, the campus antiwar activities did.
Most are familiar with the undergraduate student deferments used to dodge the draft in the 1960s. Less well known were the ones for graduate school, in place until 1968. Those led to a 3-fold increase in Ph.D. degrees — men only — in the ‘60s compared to the previous decade. The increases prior to that were a couple percent per decade.
And where are most Ph.D. awardees employed? At universities.
Since their motivation was to avoid government service, it’s not surprising they would espouse principles not supportive of America. Their negative views undoubtedly spilled over into their teaching, thereby providing foundational cancel culture training — Woke Philosophy 101; Introductory Victimology 202; Mobology 303: Advanced Bullying — identified as such or not.

“Six million Social Security numbers are active for people aged 112 ; however, only 40 people in the world are known to be older than 112 years of age.”
1. TOTAL MISTAKES
$175 billion in estimated improper payments reported by the 20 largest federal agencies, averaging $14.6 billion per month. Total (FY2004-FY2019): $2.3 trillion.
2. WORST PROGRAMS
Billion-dollar Boondoggles: $121 billion (approximately 69 percent) in improper payments occurred within three program areas – Medicaid, Medicare, and Earned Income Tax Credit.
3. CLAW BACK
Recapture totaled $21.1 billion of the $175 billion improper payments during 2019 — roughly 14 cents on every dollar misspent. Five-year total: $103.6 billion recaptured/ $747.7 billion improperly spent.

“Every WuFlu down in WuFluville liked Christmas a lot…
But The Fauci, who lived in a very busy home-based TV studio north of WuFluville, did NOT!
The Fauci hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
(The Fauci also hated Easter, high school graduations, weddings, summer vacations, restaurants and bars, churches, college football games, Thanksgiving, and every venue of happiness and human interaction.)
Now, please don’t ask why.
No one except public health “experts” and Chris Cuomo quite know the reason.
It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his homemade face mask was too tight.
But I think the most likely reason of all,
May have been that his insatiable lust for appearances on “The View,” features in glossy fashion magazines, and his unchallenged dominance over 330 million Hosts in WuFluville made his heart two sizes too small.”
