George Washington University will not fire Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, an adjunct professor at its law school, amid left-wing cries on the internet for his termination after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. "Because we steadfastly support the robust exchange of ideas and deliberation, and because debate is a central part of our university’s academic and educational mission to train future leaders who are prepared to address the world’s most urgent problems," a letter addressed to its students states, "the university will neither terminate Justice Thomas’s employment nor cancel his class in response to his legal opinions." The move...

Rather than sitting around steaming mad about this election theft and how judge Roberts is probably in on it, consider this; After sitting on their hands for seven months by an incredible coincidence the "Conservative" Michigan Supreme Court ruled against Governor Whitmer hours after the Unlock Michigan petition filed 1/2 million signatures. So it's possible the US Supremes could take notice.

Students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are demanding that the university remove and replace a statue of Abraham Lincoln.

Hodgkinson’s page shows he has 403 Facebook friends, many of whom have “Resist” or show support to Bernie Sanders. Hodgkinson’s comment to another link to Change.org to remove the president and vice president, on March 22, said, “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.” No further public comment by Hodgkinson defined what he intended by “destroy.” ... His most recent public post, on May 24, was sharing a link to a Change.org petition to stop the NEXUS Pipeline. Hundreds of people from across the country and around the world quickly added...

(This is a linked petition to the English Language version of the Petition to plead with the Electoral College Electors to change their pledged votes for Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton instead. The current meme in the media is that 4.5 million American voters have signed this petition to these Electors. . . but if that is the case, why is this concurrent GERMAN LANGUAGE linked Change.org petition with its petition count being included in that count?

<p>On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, they can vote for Hillary Clinton if they choose. Even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted, they would simply pay a small fine - which we can be sure Clinton supporters will be glad to pay!</p>

On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, they can vote for Hillary Clinton if they choose. Even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted, they would simply pay a small fine - which we can be sure Clinton supporters will be glad to pay! We are calling on the Electors to ignore their states' votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton. Why?

"To: The US Federal Government Make law enforcement accountable for killing family pets across the USA It seems just about every day now we hear another story of a police officer shooting a family pet. It also seems that there are never any repercussions for the officer. The latest story to appear on my screens, albeit an old one, was an officer in 'fear for her life' from a Chihuahua of all things...."

For too long Americans have been set one against the other, it is a side affect of a free market society. How can profits be maximized, how can I get the work done for the lowest possible costs. This continually sets one group against the other, especially in the blue collar sectors of America. It has become a part of the American Business model, whether it was indentured servants, slaves picking cotton, sharecroppers, the industrious people that built the railroads or todays migrant workers. As long as we remain divided, fighting for the scraps that America has to offer it...

In case you haven't heard, there's a new site called Change.org that has as its founding value change. This site is deeply deferential to its hero, our messiah Barack Obama. So why should we get involved with this site? They're holding a contest, "Ideas for Change", and we're in deep danger of getting some of these ideas lobbied intensely for, and even implemented. People submitted over 7,000 ideas throughout November and December. Their fellow Change.orgizens voted on the ideas, and the top 3 ideas from each of 21 categories went on to the finals. The top 10 ideas from the...
