Biden's America Last Program
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
‘science for social justice’ because ‘science’ has lost all meaning
Scientific American has been on a downward trajectory for a while now.
Here’s are some examples of their relatively recent low points, in case you missed any of them:
- SCIENCE: Scientific American looks into why white men stockpile guns (racism?)
- Forget the end of the world; Scientific American says climate change is affecting soccer now
- Scientific American puts objectivity aside and endorses Joe Biden because ‘the 2020 election is literally a matter of life and death’
- ‘Whiteness Mad Libs journalism’ Scientific American asks if climate anxiety is ‘a form of white fragility or even racial anxiety’
- Scientific American is going to ditch boring old ‘climate change’ in favor of much scarier-sounding ‘climate emergency’ because Science™
- Scientific American: The crisis doctors faced in the 1950s was having no idea what made people male or female
- Scientific American opinion piece tries and fails to use physics to justify ‘abortion care’

What is being overlooked is the fact that the money to increase the IRS is not a one year one time expenditure.
This is 87,000 people that will be paid every year, 87,000 people given benefits, retirement, offices will have to be built for them.
The Government hiring 87 ,000 people is not going to reduce the budget in any way. These people have to be paid and we already haves thousands of government employees sitting on their asses and doing nothing.

During the hearings, the committee members called out what they described as systemic racism deeply entrenched in the U.S., while discussing several U.S. political issues that generally aren't discussed at global forums.
For example, the committee decried "the failure of the Senate" to pass the Democrat-backed John Lewis Voting Rights Act, arguing U.S. election laws "disenfranchise" minorities.
Committee members then criticized gerrymandering and "artificial and unnecessary voter identification requirements" implemented by some Republican-led states to protect against voter fraud. They called for the U.S. delegation to provide updates on a bill that would make Washington, D.C. a state — saying such legislation would "enable residents ... to participate fully in their country's democracy" — as well as updates on efforts to establish a committee to explore the idea of giving reparations to African-American descendants of slaves.
One member also asked the U.S. delegation for information on the government's commitment to establish a "permanent federal body" to coordinate the implementation of the convention and other human rights obligations.
Such recommendations will likely not land well with Americans concerned about international bodies potentially violating U.S. national sovereignty — an issue on which Just the News has previously reported in the context of a global pandemic treaty.
Unlike the Trump administration, which withdrew from the U.N. Human Rights Council, the Biden administration has engaged the global body's human rights system, arguing that by doing so, "positive change is within reach."
Experts have warned, however, that such engagement must be used to hold the world's most egregious human rights violators accountable for their actions, not the U.S.

Biden delegation takes tongue-lashing from UN human rights panel for 'systemic racism' in US
Biden administration officials, who have welcomed U.N. probes into America's human rights record, appear before a global committee in Geneva reviewing the country's commitment to stopping racial discrimination.
The courts (in California and Maryland) have held that tax-exempt status constitutes “federal financial assistance” for purposes of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, thus potentially subjecting thousands of schools and other nonprofits to Title IX’s requirements for the first time. The courts’ rationale plausibly extends to a number of additional federal laws, potentially magnifying the unfavorable impact of the courts’ decisions.
In Buettner-Hartsoe v. Baltimore Lutheran High School Association, five female former students alleged that their private school failed to prevent and address the sexual assault and verbal sexual harassment they experienced on campus. They asserted that the school’s conduct constituted sex discrimination in violation of Title IX and state law.
In E.H. v. Valley Christian Academy, a female public high school student, claiming violations of Title IX and various state laws, sued a California Christian high school that declined to play full-contact tackle football against her and her school’s team.
Title IX only applies to education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. In each case, the court accepted the plaintiffs’ contention that the nonprofit schools received federal financial assistance and were thus subject to Title IX.
What funding did they allege the schools received? Grants? Low-interest loans? Contracts? No. Instead, they claimed that the schools took on all the obligations of Title IX simply because their nonprofit status and charitable character exempted them from federal income tax. These decisions contradict virtually all available precedent.

This Title IX Interpretation Threatens Nonprofits That Won't Lie
Recent rulings in federal court could force nonprofits and religious organizations to lie about the sexes.

Will 2024 be 1984?
The “threat to democracy” is shorthand for a threat to Democrats. The source of that threat are conservatives and Republicans. The vectors of that threat can be described as coming from Russia, school board parents, electoral activism or “disinformation” on the internet. The common denominator is that political activities which are inherently “democratic”, speech, protest and electioneering, are defined as a national security “threat to democracy”.
The net of this crisis extends from individuals posting on social media to political candidates and institutions. Meeting the “threat to democracy” requires the government to monitor social media and for social media companies to censor unapproved speech, for candidates who believe the wrong things to be barred from office, for the IRS to investigate conservative non-profits, for companies to be pressured into pulling donations to conservative candidates and for the military to be prepared to intervene once again in the event of another grave “threat to democracy”.
The threat to democracy or rather the republic here is coming from the Democrats.
The Spygate targeting of Trump is only one strand of a number of threads drawing together to criminalize opposition to leftist agendas. Cancel culture had already contrived to economically punish speech. The next step was criminal investigations of people who non-violently stood up to Black Lives Matter race rioters or drove over BLM’s racial supremacist slogan on streets.
The underlying rationale was that racism was a public health crisis and another threat to democracy. Individuals were components of the crisis. Those who would not take a knee and admit their privilege were perpetuating the crisis and posed a threat to the nation at large.

What's insane about it. Just the usual suspects having a night out.
Shows how stupid they are .
Why a 7-11 when they could have gone to Krogers and hit the meat department.
Sneakers
Just sneakin' around....
That means they'd have to learn how to cook it. Heaven forbid.
Can you imagine having so little to worry about that you get your britches all bunched up over a hat a guy from the aircrew is wearing at work? What a sweet and PRIVILEGED life this Christian Damiana must have.
Note that he has fewer than 2000 followers and yet is notable enough for Twitter to verify.

Hate the right people and yadda yadda yadda …
OH, he locked down.
Don’t worry, we snagged a screenshot.

Very disappointed to see an @AmericanAir crew employee wearing a let’s go Brandon hat (that says **** Joe Biden on the side, no less) at work. Does this match your values?pic.twitter.com/BQ7N3oUyDS
