    The College Fix ^ | 01/02/2023 | Jennifer Kabbany
    A professor recently began to advance his idea on how to combat onerous progressive ideologies on campus, encouraging students to report professors who bash Christians, white people and conservatives to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Title IX offices for investigation. Conservative students should file complaints for speech that attacks their identity – especially when it comes from a professor, said Adam Ellwanger, a professor of English at the University of Houston-Downtown, in a recent telephone interview with The College Fix. “There is a perception that the DEI and Title IX offices exist just to support leftist activism, but there is...

  • Kumail Nanjiani: Hollywood “limiting” non-whites in villain roles

    01/11/2023 7:27:11 AM PST · by MNDude · 70 replies
    “I think that Hollywood now–even though they’re trying to be more diverse–is still weird,” Kumail Nanjiani said in a recent Esquire profile. The insinuation is that the industry may not be too afraid to cast a non-white actor in a villainous role, lest it face immediate backlash. “And that’s just as limiting as anything else…I want to play more bad guys.” Kumail Nanjiani cited a prime example: his fellow MCU star Sebastian Stan. “He does these big Marvel movies, and then he’ll play a psychopath. I was told that’s going to be hard because people don’t want to cast non-white...

Of course, the starting point, the contemporary context, would be the recent history of COVID lockdowns; massive government spending and inflation and constrictive energy policies driving up energy and food prices, as well as most “downstream prices,” and wiping out retirement savings; Fed strategies depressing the market; war in Ukraine threatening nuclear confrontation; China’s rising political aggression; political corruption of government institutions and apparent government-led attacks on the First Amendment, at least according to the “Twitter Files”; rising urban crime; a surge...

Besides, The CDC has strict rules about animals arriving from high-risk countries for rabies. Consequently, the dog's owner abandoned his fur baby and continued his trip to New York State.

On December 8, 2022, Ellie was dropped off by her owner at the PetSmart in Chester, Virginia.
