And...more...Winning! New policy requires on-field players, personnel to stand for anthem

[jem]

Do people really think like this or only those who are paid to stir things up.

• Gutierrez worries that algebra and geometry perpetuate privilege because "emphasizing terms like Pythagorean theorem and pi" give the impression that math "was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans."

• She also worries that evaluations of math skills can perpetuate discrimination against minorities, especially if they do worse than their white counterparts.

I am pretty sure that requiring people to use proper punctuation is an exercise in White Privilege.

Of course how much punctuation do you need to know when your school system is preparing you for a career that consists of asking people: "Do you want fries with that?"

Hail Germany!!!

oh wait

Yeah, because standing for the flag of the nation you are a citizen in to show respect to your national anthem is just like the Nazis to the intellectual liberal mind.

Stirring, it just click-bait. There are people who make money pandering to the excesses of the far right and left.

There are ultra-leftists of a kind who give the sane a bad reputation of course.

“Are we really that smart just because we do mathematics?” she asks, further wondering why math professors get more research grants than “social studies or English” professors."

I am not very mathematical and that does indeed make me markedly inferior to my brothers and dad who are/were great problem solving thinkers. Medium to advanced math skills are a mental superpower. Black kids need to embrace math.

Not the deepest thinker that Tsing Tao, it is not a song you respect but the institutions behind it. Flag worship is dangerous.

However I notice in the last massacre thread (he loves 'em) he was agreeing with me that 25 is a good minimum age for ARs etc. (higher than 21 and with training) so some progress, good to see though sad it takes these killings in conservative core areas to move the right.

Better than so many dead children, I'll take it.

Slart, I can see you are posting, but not the content. Still following me around, I'm guessing? Still sore?

Of course, if you are replying to someone else, then please accept my apology. But I think its probably more an obsession.

muahaha... he must be using a different browser and not logged in.

But as I said I completely agree on the higher age, 24 I think is ok really but not lower for the bad boy guns.

More winning...

This didn't get a lot of press... "Right to Try" legislation.
Its finally coming to Trump's desk for his signature.

Basically allows terminally ill patients to sign a waiver and try drugs that have not completed FDA approval.
This is a big deal... now people won't have to fly to wherever to get experimental drugs in an attempt to save their lives. Trump pushed for it. He was very proud of it yesterday. Saw it on C-SPAN.

Only when you are forced to do so by rules and the risk of penalty rather than by free choice.

Surpassing Nixon ? . ?
The notion that the investigation is taking too long is nonsense.

 

[TreeFrogTrader]

Heh, nice idiot examples there that dont exactly make the point the lefties hope to make.

"Whitewater Investigation" Six years.

And a guilty plea on lying about a sexual encounter that had not even occurred until years into the Whitewater investigation. And no convictions on the original alleged crimes.

The tard argument here is that we all need to understand that witch-hunts take a long time. Sometimes you have go years before you can find shit on the person you have targeted.

And then you have an example - as with the hillary email thing- where if you find several crimes - then those crimes- will go away if it was not convenient for the witch-hunters to find them.
Another fine example of why we should all just be a little patient and let corruption take its course. Oh, and dont just take my word on it for the handling of hillary's email investigation. Refer to the 400 page IG's report coming soon.
