The Muslim kid didn’t invent anything. He took the innards out of a digital clock and stuck them in a case.
And that’s just the beginning of the idiocies of this article.
Nonsense, pure and unadulterated crap. Every premise is wrong. How can this buffoon post on the Hill?
Thomas Jefferson must be turning in his grave!
He didn't "invent" anything. He took apart a Micronta clock and put it in a pencil case. The kid is an idiot. He has produced nothing which required any creativity, and he misled people into thinking he had done something that takes more than 20 seconds.
Seriously, there is a video on Youtube where someone takes apart this same clock, and puts it in a pencil box. It took 20 seconds.
Here is a snippet of that video.
It would be difficult to think of another story where the attention thrown on an individual was more unwarranted and just plain stupid than this Clock Boy lunacy.
And, of course, this indentity politics nonsense is just the sort of nothing story Obama would latch onto and pretend it has some deep meaning, and that it illustrates how racist and Islamophobic the US is, in his sick, twisted, Third World view of the USA.
Typical for a feckless fool on a hill, unworthy to hold that office.
And this is one of those times that Thomas Jefferson was just simply wrong.
This is just nonsensical Liberal thinking, and does not, and cannot work out in practice.
Islam does not accept the concept of Equality. Jefferson attempts to force another religion to operate in accordance with a Christian idea, but it was so ubiquitous in Jefferson's environment, that he conceives of the concept of equality as a universal principle.
It is not. Islam utterly rejects it.
Again, more of Jefferson's egalitarian nonsense. He obviously didn't believe his own press releases or he would have freed his own slaves.
Had the school not had him arrested, we would have never heard of him.
When I was his age, I was building a Heathkit amp,fm tuner and CB radio.
My geek friends were doing the same. We weren’t praised as inventors, but we did learn some basic electronics.
What a steaming pile. Not worth a response.
The main takeaway here is that The Hill will publish anything and can be taken with a grain of salt by sensible people.
She’s a muslim apologist:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denise_Spellberg
Denise A. Spellberg (born c. 1958) is an American scholar of Islamic history. She is an associate professor of history and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Spellberg holds a BA from Smith College (1980) and a PhD (1989) from Columbia University.
Spellberg is the author of Politics, Gender, and the Islamic Past: The Legacy of ‘A’isha Bint Abi Bakr, a widely cited work on the portrayal of Aisha in Islamic tradition. In particular, Spellberg shows how later commentators reinterpreted Aisha’s role at the Battle of Camel (656,) where she rode her camel into battle against Ali but stayed inside the litter with the curtains closed, as an argument that women should never participate in public affairs.[
In 2008 Spellberg was involved in a controversy over Sherry Jones’ historical novel The Jewel of Medina. Random House, which intended to publish the novel later that year, had sent Spellberg galley proofs, hoping for a publishable comment. Spellberg sharply criticized the novel from a historical perspective, and also reportedly told Random House publishing the book might result in violence by radical Muslims. Subsequently, Random House indefinitely postponed publication, citing concerns about violence from extremists.[3]
Asra Nomani wrote about the events in an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, in which she characterized Spellberg as “the instigator of the trouble”.[3] In the wake of Nomani’s article, a number of publications printed pieces criticizing Spellberg’s actions as tantamount to advocating censorship.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Spellberg responded in the Wall Street Journal, contesting Nomani’s characterization of her as the “instigator” of the book’s cancellation. She wrote that she was not advocating censorship, but rather offering her professional assessment of the book and a warning about the potential reaction from some Muslims
...In 2013, Spellberg published Thomas Jefferson’s Qur’an: Islam and the Founders. The book discusses a copy of the Qur’an owned by Thomas Jefferson as well as Jefferson’s views on Islam, arguing that his vision for religious freedom in the United States specifically included Muslims...
Thank you. No wonder nothing made sense. From one false premise to another in such rapid succession, you would think she would loose her balance. A fool never admits to anything.
[and inventor]
What a joke. The author is an idiot. He didn’t “invent” anything.
Animated jpg? Really cool!

s/b “And Austin”
The author is part of the political theater that was this boys “clockmaking.”
It was all planned in advance — the clock, the arrest, the media campaign, the immediate invitation to the White House. The police and teachers of Irving TX were stupid dupes in the bit of theater.
