Ruby Bridges

Ruby Bridges by Norman Rockwell


This is the time to speak out against the stupidity of the state of Florida. The fact that that hideous armpit of America would want to bring down the study of African American History is almost unbelievable. 

Ruby is a precious stone.

Bridges are pathways that unite.

No child in all recorded human history was more aptly named than she.

The question is literally screaming to be asked: What the hell does the state of Florida have against Ruby Bridges? (or Rosa Parks for that matter (whose autobiography was recently banned by the way).

I need to apologize. I just realized that I never finished this piece. Forgive me, folks. My energy level has gotten extremely low lately, you know? This getting old business is for the freaking birds. I'm not kidding you.

Liberals Try to Make People’s Lives Worse

What we call liberalism in America is a global philosophy or movement. Thus, what Janet Daley writes in England’s Telegraph applies equally here, and across the West: “The Left now has a demonic new aim: to make ordinary people poorer.”

We are living through the most startling political realignment in more than 100 years. Never since the advent of modern socialism in the early 20th century has the Left openly advocated making ordinary people poorer, thereby leaving those on the Right to defend the spread of mass prosperity. The debate (if this tendentious chorus of unanimity can be called a debate) on net zero has entirely shifted the ground on which modern political discourse has been based.

This role-reversal is especially clear in the features that were once most characteristic of Left-wing and Right-wing allegiance: it is the radical young who now tend to be most adamant that the freedoms and comforts that come with widespread disposable wealth should be prohibited, while the traditionally conservative older generation is left to fight for what used to be the Left-liberal doctrine that higher income and the independence it brings should be spread as widely as possible. Where organised protest movements in the past have been inspired by the idea that the masses were too poor, now they promote the idea that most ordinary people are too rich.

That is exactly right. The liberal philosophy, reduced to its essence, is that most people need to be poorer, to consume fewer resources. To do less. To enjoy less. But not them, of course. Us.

And just as bad:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/power-line/


"Analysis / Bias

In review, Power Line often vigorously criticizes Democrats and liberals for dishonesty, lack of morals, bad judgment, and disloyalty to the United States.

Headlines and articles often contain strongly loaded language that favors the right such as this: THE DEMS’ APOCALYPSE PRIMARY and END OF THE MUELLER AFFAIR. Both of these stories are properly sourced.

When it comes to science, Power Line takes a denialist’s view on climate change, with articles such as this: CLIMATE CHANGE ALARMISM IS FOUNDED ON DISHONESTY. This article is sourced to the No Tricks Zone, which is a human-influenced climate science denial website.

On the sidebar of the website, Power Line lists their favorite sources, which consists of all right-leaning sources, and several we have rated as questionable such as the American Thinker and Michelle Malkin.

In general, all stories favor the right and denigrate the left."

Anon is the strikeout king when it comes to credibility.

After reading the posts, what did you find wrong and what did you disagree with, assuming you read the post. List for us please, or are you too afraid to read something that might give you cause to pause.

What again are YOUR sources of criticism for Power Line, you just don't like it when they destroy liberal positions. But you can't or won't prove them wrong. Typical WOKE- ISM. Must silence anyone that they disagree with.


Another strike 3 for JustMusing.

Pappyz, doesn't like something cause it goes against the grain of his beliefs, so using WOKE-ISM he cancels.

Did you even read the article by https://pjmedia.com/columns/philip-carl-salzman/2023/04/02/how-anti-white-discrimination-undermines-our-culture-and-citizenship-n1683935?

So what FACTS do you base your comment on?

You have nothing except feelings.

So Anon attempts as so many 'con'servatives have that "Woke" is a pejorative and twist the actual definition which is -

"aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)."

I am "Woke" by that meaning.

Anon, however, has their head so far up their ass that they think they can gaslight and bully us into accepting their world of alternative "facts.

As for paying attention, Anon has ways to go before getting a passing grade on any of their claims. I provided a link and it was noted in the Power Line comment more sources were posted at MediaBiasFactCheck.

But in Anon's head, that's where facts go to die.

Put up or shut up? That's such weak tea! LMAOROTF.

At 2:15 EST today, Anon's hero is getting formally indicted for 34 counts of fraud.

Rage all you want Anon, but the Rule of Law you used to support is about uphold Democratic values and the Constitution.

The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the former president in his effort to recoup additional legal fees from adult film star Stormy Daniels, who had filed and lost a defamation suit against him.

Daniels was ordered to pay Trump’s attorneys just over $120,000 in legal fees.

That’s on top of the more than $500,000 in court-ordered payments to Trump attorneys she’s already been ordered to pay.

The big question is will DJT with his sloppy book keeping and his sloppy book keeper, that's doing time, be able to keep separate his legal defense fund from his campaign monies.

Since Anon identifies as fascist, it's no surprise to see the drivel they post. They are way down that slippery slope and trying to eliminate free will.

T**** and D******* are their new Gods.

More lies from JustMusing, he /she or it can't handle the facts. He, she or it is afraid to fact check my sources. Typical.

As usual, we have to correct Anon's post:

It would appear the subject was CANNON HINNANT.

Double Dog Dare Anon to explain the real reason they posted that.

Anon says I can't handle "the facts". An interesting choice of words.

This is the process I use to test Anon's claims:

The scientific method: (The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.)

1. The principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis, and a conclusion that validates or modifies the hypothesis.

2. A method of discovering knowledge about the natural world based in making falsifiable predictions (hypotheses), testing them empirically, & developing theories that match known data from repeatable physical experimentation.

2. A method of investigation involving observation and theory to test scientific hypotheses.

As an engineer, this process has served me well to determine what's real and what is not.

There's Anon's alternative facts (gaslighting) and there's known facts (reality).

Why is Anon afraid of facts, truth, and reality?

It's because Anon is unwilling to test their beliefs and see if they really measure up.

How do we know? Simply look at the sources Anon provides. They deny truths even when presented with irrefutable scientific data.

Those denials being used as wedge issues are:

1. There is no such thing as manmade global warming.
2. There is nothing that we can do to improve our climate.
3. Most immigrants are a drain on social services, schools, hospitals, and other public resources.
4. Many immigrants are criminals, rapists, dealers or terrorists.
5. The availability of guns has nothing to do with the uniquely American epidemic of shootings.
6. Gun death rates have not dropped in countries with gun control legislation.
7. Vaccines are dangerous, cause autism and other disorders.
8. Muslims are out to destroy us and our way of life.
9. Latinos are lazy, Jews are greedy, African-Americans are violent, etc.
10. Marriage is sacrosanct only between a man and a woman.
11. Planned Parenthood sells fetal parts.
12. LGBT people are either "sick" or "bad."
13. The USA is the first/greatest in the world in health, education, nutrition, generosity, cleanliness, happiness, and safety.

(It is indeed first in weaponry, shootings, military spending, prisoners, drug trade, and other indices of "greatness.")

Anon, it's time for a hard look in the mirror; time to wake up and let go of your hate.
