The contest for Victim Pokemon Points gets down and dirty.
More than a dozen community groups have called on Rep. Bettie Cook Scott (D-Detroit) to apologize for a series of racial slurs sources say she used to describe her primary election opponent, Rep. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit).
Scott is alleged to have referred to Chang as “ching-chang” and “the ching-chong” to multiple voters outside polling precincts during last Tuesday’s election. She’s also said to have called one of Chang’s campaign volunteers an “immigrant,” saying “you don’t belong here” and “I want you out of my country.”

The Chicago Tribune reported a big drop in violence in Chicago this past weekend. Forty people were shot.
This down from the weekend before, when 74 were shot.
The Tribune’s Steve Chapman rejects what he calls the “popular myth, cynically promoted by Trump and other outside critics” that Chicago is an “exceptionally dangerous city.”
Not exceptionally dangerous among Democrat-run cities, perhaps.

Labor unions in the northeast U.S. are struggling to keep many of their members working because environmental policies and lawsuits are delaying energy projects already approved by the federal government.

Steve Sailer covers what the American media won’t.
Melbourne, Australia now has an “African gangs” problems because it’s the Current Year so of course Melbourne has an African gangs problem. Why wouldn’t it? In fact, Melbourne has two African gangs problems: the African gangs of street criminals themselves, and, far worse, the Australians who have noticed and even talked about this new problem that the politicians have imported for them to endure.

Grade inflation, the ‘puff pastry’ of modern education.
The A-levels are the tests Brits take to get into university. British secondary education stops at 16, what American’s would call 10th grade; ‘school leaving certificate’ used to be called O-levels and is now called GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education). Those going on to college take two more years (called Sixth Form) and then take A-levels. Like the SAT or ACT, your A-level performance pretty much determines how spiff a university you can get into.
Education in the U.K. is much more centralized and government-controlled than in the U.S.

The recent utterly unsurprising utter capitulation by the Fredocons to the SJW/tech/media campaign to deplatform and silence any right-wing voice who is not trying to sell you a cruise cabin is a symptom of a bigger problem. It’s not a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome, though Trump has utterly deranged these pointy-headed geeks. It is a symptom of Conservative, Inc.’s contempt for you.
The dethroned conservagimps are angry with you. Donald Trump is not really the issue. He’s just a convenient target for those these establishment sissies. They truly despise you.
You.

Yeah, but what kind of a job can you get? Barista? Sure. Truck driver? No problem. Attorney? Doubtful. Doctor? Even more doubtful.
The unravelling of civilization proceeds apace.
I would be very hesitant to hire somebody with tattoos, because tattoos (and piercings) are symptoms of more serious psychological disorder. But I guess other people aren’t so picky.
Or maybe he just hated cyclists and pedestrians. It’s not impossible.
Cyclists can be pretty annoying. And don’t get me started on pedestrians.

But will they learn from it? Of course not. Ideology trumps reality every time when it comes to government. That’s why we have train wrecks like Zimbabwe and Venezuela.

I suspect that many, if not most, are receiving benefits at the expense of the taxpayers whose energy costs they seek to raise.
One of the unmentioned disadvantages of the usual Universal Basic Income (insert favorite Dire Straits riff here) is that it would allow such busybody malcontents unlimited scope to bother more productive people.

I’d be tempted to pull the police out and let the street thugs settle it amongst themselves. Let Black Lives Matter step up to the plate and enforce the peace.
But nobody listens to me.

The key features of Jeong’s worldview are an obsession with whiteness and its alleged sins; a commitment to the claim that we live in a rape culture; and a sneering contempt for objectivity and truth-seeking. These are central tenets of academic victimology. From the moment freshmen arrive on a college campus, they are inundated by the message that they are either the bearers of white privilege or its victims. College presidents and the metastasizing diversity bureaucracy teach students to see racism where none exists, preposterously accusing their own institutions of systemic bias. “Bias response teams,” confidential “discrimination hotlines,” and implicit-bias training for faculty and staff roll forth from university coffers in wild abandon.
UC Berkeley’s Division of Equity and Inclusion until recently hung banners throughout campus reminding students of their place in the ruthlessly competitive hierarchy of victimhood. One particularly lachrymose entry, featuring a female black and a Hispanic male student, urged the presumably “non-diverse” sector of Berkeley to “create an environment where people other than yourself can exist.” This year’s White Privilege Conference, a nationwide academic gathering, featured panels on “Breaking the Chains of Capitalism and White Supremacy,” the “Whiteness of Law,” and “How Whiteness Kills.” The journal Cultural Studies of Science Education ran a perfectly standard article this year on how notions of merit and scientific truth are simply covers for white supremacy and racism, while the Feminist Journal of Geography argued that the convention of academic citations bolsters the status of those who are “white, male, able-bodied, economically privileged, heterosexual, and cisgendered.”

That hardly seems fair. Of course, it might be another one of those ‘hate hoaxes’. But I should think that action ought to be deferred until an investigation is conducted.
