You may have seen this story, since it went viral last night. District Calls Anniversary Photo of High School Principal and His Wife ‘Questionable' Colleyville Heritage High School Principal James Whitfield says he's fighting back against critics and asks the district to support him. https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/carter-in-the-classroom/district-calls-anniversary-photo-of-high-school-principal-and-his-wife-questionable/2704613/ The news reporter intentionally left out key facts and took CHHS principal James Whitfield's word for it that Critical Race Theory is not in the schools, when he himself is leading the implementation.

I was in an online debate on artificial intelligence when Robert Arvanitis brought up something he’d written referencing Lord of the Rings. From the title “The Orcs that ran away”, I thought it was a short fantasy story. In reality, it was a financial paper on the economic impact of the production of the Lord of the Rings movies in New Zealand and how AI was used to solve it.

SAN DIEGO, CA—According to sources, Democrats in Washington really want people to get vaccinated. When it comes to undocumented immigrants, however, Democrats don't really seem to care as much. This led local man Damien Cooper to pose as an illegal immigrant so politicians won't bother him about getting vaccinated all the time.

With so many “rules” around who can talk about what and when, reading Black Victim to Black Victor was incredibly refreshing in its no holds barred approach to any and all subject matters. You will find few accounts more honest and personal than this as he takes you on his intimate and international journey from victimhood to being a victor. “Why am I told to distrust the white man when I couldn’t even depend on my black father?”

During a recent endocrinology course at a top medical school in the University of California system, a professor stopped mid-lecture to apologize for something he’d said at the beginning of class. His offense: using the term “pregnant women.”

A quick test of the 3.4GHz PCB yagi that came with the SG-lab (http://www.sg-lab.com/amateur.html) 3.4GHz transverter. I also compare it to the WA5VJB LPDA 2-11GHz model, PCB antenna

Silicon Valley runs on Asians. This is a well-known aspect of the tech world in general, but it’s especially apparent in elite sub-sectors. Even by 2010, Asian Americans already had become a majority (50.1 percent) of all tech workers in the Bay Area: software engineers, data engineers, programmers, systems analysts, admins, and developers. Census Bureau statistics from the same year put white tech workers at 40.1 percent. Other races made up, in total, slightly less than 10 percent. I interviewed a Facebook product manager fresh out of university. He interacts daily with teams of software engineers at Facebook, coordinating and...

The creators and defenders of Critical Race Theory, or CRT is it’s often known, describe it as a legal and academic movement aimed at critically examining the many ways in which racism manifests, with a view toward pushing beyond traditionally liberal color-blind laws and solutions. It has been around since the 1970s, but in the wake of Black Lives Matter, CRT has suddenly become a lot more prominent in progressive activism and academia. And while many conservatives have pushed back on CRT throughout the years, basically accusing its champions of using postmodern language to justify reverse racism, no one has...

We know that most of that wealth was made after the year 1800. And we know that most of it is currently owned by people we might call Westerners: Europeans, North Americans, Australasians. 19 percent of the world's population today, Westerners own two-thirds of its wealth. Economic historians call this "The Great Divergence." And this slide here is the best simplification of the Great Divergence story I can offer you. It's basically two ratios of per capita GDP, per capita gross domestic product, so average income. One, the red line, is the ratio of British to Indian per capita income....

A couple of weeks ago, word arrived that 120 new missile silos had been discovered in the desert of Northern China. While the press made much of this evidence that China is busy expanding its nuclear weapons program, they did not look at who found the silos and how he did it. As it happens, the silos were spotted by Decker Eveleth, an undergrad at Reed College. He spent weeks poking around on satellite imagery until he happened upon the silos’ distinctive inflatable dome coverings. (Which, in turn, has led some people to describe them as “bouncy houses of death.”)...

Scott Bieser is the author of the libertarian comic series Quantum Vibe. He has created book covers, graphic novels and a ton of webtoons. And I had the opportunity to interview him. Tamara Wilhite: Why are you most famous for the “Quantum Vibe” series? Scott Bieser: Probably because I’ve been at it for a decade, as both writer and artist. All my other projects have been collaborations, usually with L. Neil Smith.

The notion of “acting black” attempts to redefine black reality as being the black prejudgment. We are consistently told that race is a social construct yet simultaneously told to act in a manner that upholds this manufactured social system. Blacks are told to behave in a manner that appeases others as if blacks are agentless slaves. Even worse, blacks hold each other to this same inadequate standard of thinking.

[Editor's note: This story was first published in 1978 by F. Paul Wilson. Then it was probably considered rather "out there". Today it's a prescient look at what is close to becoming a reality as the Food Police continually try to foist their "good-for-you" policies on individuals. We're pleased to bring this story to our audience.] Butter. I can name a man's poison at fifty paces. I take one look at this guy as he walks in and say to myself, "Butter." He steps carefully, like there's something sticky on the soles of his shoes. Maybe there is, but I...

With research help from the Mythinformed investigation crew, Keri and Carter reveal the link between the Southern Poverty Law Center and the "Learning for Justice" project, which brings leftist racism based on Critical Race Theory to elementary schools across the country, including Oak Park School District 97 in Oak Park, Illinois.

Chris Rufo is doing something so spectacularly unconservative, he may need to update his political affiliation: he’s winning. Last week, Rufo’s successful legislative efforts to ban critical race theory in the classroom found critique in the New York Times. The guest essay conspicuously avoided naming him; then again, it didn’t have to. Rufo, a journalist and advocate, has become so synonymous with both the effort to alert Americans to the racism their children are imbibing in public school and the legislative efforts to stop it, that he’s become the person we think of whenever “Critical Race Theory” is mentioned. For...

I am amazed Yahoo reported this. Grievance politics seems to permeate every aspect of our society these days — and it has a serious cost. Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X. Kendi have emerged as contemporary televangelists. The deceptively-named concept of “anti-racism” is the new orthodoxy in our universities, and racial politics have also entered our public schools. Classics such as To Kill a Mockingbird and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are banned from some high school curricula, only to be replaced by woke bestsellers. As a Washington Examiner editorial chronicled, K-12 students have been subjected to “restorative justice” circles and...

How Twitter can ruin a life Isabel Fall’s sci-fi story “I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter” drew the ire of the internet. This is what happened next. As a trans woman early in transition, Fall had the option of retreating to the relative safety of her legal, masculine identity. That’s what she did, staying out of the limelight and growing ever more frustrated by what had happened to her. She bristles when I ask her in an email if she’s stopped transitioning, but it’s the only phrase I can think of to describe how the situation appears. Isabel Fall...

Expert researchers in STEM fields are already in great danger of being pushed aside by activists of the proper opinion. The rest of us will pay in the longer run Article content Hudlicky’s research productivity is admirable and rare. The mere fact that he obtained a position as a Canada Research Chair meant that his department, as well as the relevant federal governmental agency, both determined he was a fish well worth landing. Plus, the universities that hire researchers competent enough to be considered for a Canada Research Chair competition are not doing those they are attempting to recruit any...

Scribner became the superintendent in October 2015 and within a few months the district began increasing its focus on equity and inclusion, creating a Racial Equity Committee in February 2016 and adopting a policy to “fight institutional racism.” He hired a full-time Equity and Excellence director, Sherry Breed. Her JOB is implementing critical race theory in the curriculum.

In continuation to my previous post, I will start discussing how I solved the wireless distribution at my church in an economical way with a DIY Wireless Microphone Antenna Distribution setup. One of my many hobbies include amateur radio, which is the personal & experimental use of specific radio frequencies established by the FCC. My callsign is KD7QCU. Basically, I am a big nerd of radio stuff. I get to talk to people all around the world with my radio and antennas outside of my house. It is quite a fun hobby and our technological age with regards to RF...
