@TNYellowJacket @HistoryWJacob So, per your own source, this seal (a) never existed outside of a recreation made 80 years after first recorded in a written proposal by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin together, and (b) wasn't even the seal, but a reverse image. Not false, but misleading then

After 7 decades of "civil rights" activism, we have a huge black population that believes murder ought to be legal if against a white person.

Black students ought to pretend to be white on college applications, since we are said to live in a "white supremacist" society. Strangely, they do not.

That's because the truth is this: white people, in the 7 decades since the civil rights movement, crippled their own children with preferential policies that favored much less qualified black applicants in schooling and employment.

Any qualification that blacks couldn't meet at the same rate as whites had to be thrown out (or you bankrupt yourself in court by trying to show, with a team of vulture lawyers after you, that the requirement was absolutely necessary).

Countless jurisdictions have had to throw out entry exams entirely after no amount of dumbing them down could get enough black students to pass them.

The campaign against "gifted and talented" programs, meanwhile, has been driven partly by the "disparate impact" doctrine.

You've heard some of the news items. Seattle phased out its "highly capable cohort" (separate accelerated classes/schools) starting around 2021-2022, and aimed for full phase-out by 2027-2028 (with some delays). The rationale? Addressing "historical inequity" and overrepresentation of white and Asian students.

Your student can't have those programs because we've decided there are too many people in them who look like him.

Rockville Centre, New York, has long moved away from gifted tracking toward mixed-ability classes. San Francisco Unified delayed Algebra I and eliminated honors/gifted math tracks for "equity" purposes. We could go on and on.

Even though some of America's most politically "progressive" people are in education, and despite repeated and aggressive (and expensive) efforts across the country, no school district anywhere in America, no matter how progressive, has ever managed to eliminate the black-white educational achievement gap, which by 12th grade is estimated as a four-year difference.

And vastly fewer black students percentage-wise choose to take advanced-placement classes even in school systems in which such classes are open to anyone.

Given that nobody anywhere has been able to solve this problem, why, apart from hatred and spite, should bright students be singled out to be deprived of a program that benefits them?

The disparities are evident even at the very beginning of the educational process. The National Center for Educational Statistics found that blacks entering kindergarten we're already disproportionately testing in the bottom, quarter of students in reading, math, and general knowledge.

Behavioral differences are also evident that early, and they persist to the future. On average, black students are much less likely than whites to be described by kindergarten teachers as a tentative, eager to learn, and persistent in carrying out assigned tasks, and they are more likely to be described as argumentative, quick tempered, and violent.

These discipline disparities persist over time. Later in life blacks are 2 1/2 times as likely to be suspended or expelled from school as whites.

Faced with statistics, like these, so-called civil rights groups, typically accuse white teachers of arbitrarily, singling out blacks for punishment. To the contrary, black teachers have been found to be even more critical of black students than white teachers are.

Moreover, Asian students are less than half as likely as whites to be suspended or expelled, and it is unreasonable to ask us to believe that an anti-white, pro-Asian bias permeates the American educational system.

And educational disparities between the races persist even when social class is taken into account, so that comfortable explanation doesn't work.

The crime statistics tell us everything: if you based your opinions on TV or the movies, you would think the big problem in America is white-on-black violence. In fact, the reality is so overwhelmingly the opposite that most people would be shocked to learn the real numbers.

Per 10,000 whites, 3.4 violent crimes are committed against blacks. Per 10,000 blacks, 153 violent crimes are committed against whites.

As time has gone on, special accommodations for blacks, and disabilities placed on whites, have only grown more intense.

In 2023 the percentage of white men in tenure-track faculty positions at Harvard declined from 39 percent in 2014 to 18 percent. That doesn't happen by accident.

Oh, who cares about Harvard faculty, some will say.

But it reflects a society-wide problem. Here are some other numbers we now know, that also incorporate the anti-male bias in hiring:

TV/Hollywood Writers: White men comprised roughly 48% of lower-level TV writers in 2011, dropping to 11.9% by 2024.

Medical school matriculants: White men accounted for 31% in 2014, declining to 20.5% in 2025.

The Atlantic staff: In 2013: 53% male / 89% white; by 2024: 36% male / 66% white.

University faculty hiring (tenure-track): At UC Berkeley, white men comprised 52.7% of new tenure-track faculty hires in 2015, dropping to 21.5% in 2023.

Humanities/social sciences faculty hires: UC Irvine hired 64 tenure-track assistant professors in humanities and social sciences since 2020 — only 3 (4.7%) were white men.

At UC Santa Cruz, of 59 assistant professors in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (2020–2024), only 2 (3%) were white men.

Law school matriculants: White men accounted for 31.2% of law school matriculants in 2016, falling to 25.7% in 2024.

Corporate/tech entry- and mid-level (specifically Amazon): Entry-level “professionals” (college graduates) were 42.3% white male in 2014. By 2024, mid-level managers had fallen from 55.8% white male in 2014 to 33.8% (nearly 40% decline).

Tech workforce (specifically Google): White men represented nearly 50% of the workforce in 2014, dropping to less than one-third by 2024 (a roughly 34% relative decline).

Four years ago a survey of a thousand hiring managers in the United States came out that showed 16 percent of such managers had been expressly told to stop hiring white men.

Further, 48 percent of hiring managers say they have been instructed to prioritize "diversity" over merit, and 53% believe they will lose their jobs if they don’t hire accordingly.

All across the country there are special programs, of every shape and size, for minority applicants. If you had any idea of the scale of it, you would be shocked -- no matter how much you think you know about the subject.

Instead of the kind of gratitude you might expect from people who have benefited from the most systematic effort in any society to assist a minority group -- I haven't even mentioned the literal trillions in wealth redistribution -- it is never enough, and the recipients will scream "RACIST" in your face even for pointing any of this out.

We can hope that the Karmelo Anthony case accelerates the coming of the day when whites say: we have done everything humanly possible for you, and received only hatred and ingratitude in return. You are on your own now.

Pope Leo XIV in Spain: “For the love of truth, I invite everyone to set aside the divisive and polarizing narratives of your societal reality and history, so as to overcome sterile simplifications through the fruitful appreciation of complexity. I see here a vocation particularly suited to Europe, in which Spain plays a unique and fundamental role. This is the gift that the “Old Continent” can offer the world if it wishes to remain young, for youth is found in those who feel they have a future and a mission that still have meaning. Appreciating and studying complexity, learning not to deny it but to embrace it as a blessing, and fleeing from identity-based approaches that seem to explain everything yet only fill the world with “ghosts” and enemies are the tasks of those who are heirs of a great history. New technologies have created an artificial environment where our fundamental choices are put to the test, prejudices are magnified, critical thinking is weakened and dominating interests spread death wishes.  Nevertheless, goodness can prevail and spread.”

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

The situation unfolding right now is the perfect example of why the majority of the American people have either outright rejected or are at least requestioning the US-Israeli relationship.

Currently, there is an obvious divergence between the US interests and the goals of the Israeli government.

We desperately need a deal to end this disastrous war and save the global economy. Trump obviously wants that at this point and has already said Israel was forbidden from attacking Lebanon. (You may recall every pro Israel account on here claiming this as proof that Trump calls the shots). The ceasefire that the President of the United States of America wants depends on Israel not attacking southern Lebanon.

So, Israel announces they’re doing it. The best Trump can say is no boots on the ground and he won’t even hold on that.

This is a country whose very survival let alone ability to conduct any of these elective wars is completely dependent on US tax payer money, and support. We unconditionally support them even as they undermine our nation.

This is beyond intolerable. You can call all of us every name in the book but it’s just too obvious.

Sadly true. So what now?
1) Stick with the Great American State Fair concept. Make it a sprawling display of the local economies and cultures of each of the 50 states.
2) De-celebritize the events. Don't try to book stars. Republicans have always lost at that game, and doubly so with Trump. At the moment, show business appears to be largely made up of a) entertainers and businessmen who hate Trump, and b) entertainers and businessmen who are scared of being accused of not hating Trump. Why waste time with them?
3) Make music a big part of the events by showcasing U.S. military bands. There are a lot of military bands and orchestras, and they are very, very good.
4) Make the 4th of July a traditional 4th of July, with the exception of a turbocharged America 250 fireworks show.
5) No starring role for Trump. He'll be the President of the United States watching over the events with pride.
6) If anyone calls it hokey, fine. Old-fashioned hokey patriotism is good.

If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor.

You will never be welcome in Montana or Wyoming. Stop coming here. You are hated, before we even meet you. Too many of you have abused our state, our wildlife, and our habitats. We hate all of you. We don't even have sales tax here in Montana, so you're just a leech--plain and simple. These are two separate incidents. Both calves had to be euthanized. The herd (including the calf's mother) will reject a calf if you touch it.

They are not cold. They are built for this climate. Even when it's 50 below zero. If they look like they're struggling to cross a river, it's because they're LEARNING TO CROSS A FUCKING RIVER, ASS HAT!!!

**The tourist in the first photo is Clifford Walters (Hawaii). He was only fined $1,000 even though the calf is dead.

**The tourist who put the bison in his car is named Shamash Kassam (Canada) and was here on a school field trip 5th graders. He was cited. 🙄 The calf is dead.

STOP TOUCHING AND FEEDING THE FUCKING WILDLIFE, YOU WORTHLESS ASSHOLES. DON'T COME HERE.
