The Department of Education, Jamaal Bowman and Elizabeth Warren

The Department of Education, Jamaal Bowman and Elizabeth Warren

How do you stop the despicable treatment of Jews on some college campuses? How about the Department of Education cutting off all federal funds? That threat would get their attention. Just tell the schools to imagine that instead of Jewish students being targeted and harassed that LBGTQ students are the victims. I would bet that the protests will come to a screeching halt.

Although Trump has pledged to abolish the Department of Education, I don’t think he can do that without congressional approval. The department basically does two things. It funnels money from the federal coffers to the education establishment – something that can be done through block grants to the states. It also uses its civil rights division to cater to the woke leftists in its dictates on LGBTQ like changing the language in Title IX. Look for that to change. Trump’s education department could also take a crack at DEI. The accreditation agencies for the colleges and universities have included DEI in the accreditation process. Although the Department of Education has no sway of the accreditation agencies, they could determine that colleges’ DEI practices could violate the Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action with its racial preferences and force the accreditation agencies to alter their criteria.

Again, show me where DEI lessens discrimination and bigotry. It doesn’t. Rather it fosters resentment, animosity and increased racial divisions. DEI has been nothing more than a honey pot for racial grifters. Universities and corporations are mostly run by white people who obviously must hate themselves or else they would not impose this nonsense on their students and/or employees.

Did you see the Jamaal Bowman quote after the Penny verdict?  Here it is:

“Dear White People, I don’t know why I feel the need to keep talking to you. I don’t know why part of me still has hope for you and for us. Some of you are too far gone. But maybe enough of you aren’t and will join us in fighting to end white supremacy.” So Bowman is asking white people to help him end white supremacy?

Penny, as you know, was acquitted for subduing a mentally challenged homeless subway rider that was terrorizing passengers. Bowman and his BLM cohorts are protesting this as a racial crime since Penny is white and Neely was black. I wonder if they would have the same outrage if the races were reversed. I doubt if Penny would have even been arrested in jurisdictions that do not have woke progressive DAs.

I am glad that Bowman lost his re-election bid and soon will be out of the Congress. He was an embarrassment.

Speaking of embarrassments, did you see what Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders said about the murder of the United Healthcare CEO? Warren: “The visceral response from people across this country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the vile practices of their insurance companies should be a warning to everyone in the health care system.” Her comrade in arms Bernie Sanders echoed that sentiment by saying “I think what the outpouring of anger at the health care industry tells us is that millions of people understand that health care is a human right and that you cannot have people in the insurance industry rejecting needed health care for people while they make billions of dollars in profit.”

To me this sounds like the two senators are excusing murder instead of criticizing the system they helped to create with Obamacare. I presume that they are talking about claims being rejected by private insurers. What about doctors dropping Medicare patients due to low reimbursement rates? Will they condemn the doctors or Medicare? Sanders and Warren know that under a single payer system – which they both so badly want to impose on us – care gets denied and there are long waiting lines for services. Who then would patients that are denied care shoot in that type of system? My mother had seven bypass surgery at 85. I remarked that if she were in Canada that they would have denied her the operation and she would have died rather than living to 101.

Contrast Warren’s and Sanders’ reaction to that of John Fetterman whom I am slowly warming up to. “The public execution of an innocent man and father of two is indefensible, not ‘inevitable.’ Condoning and cheering this on says more about YOU than the situation of health insurance.” Fetterman also said regarding the killer “He’s the a–hole that’s going to die in prison. Congratulations if you want to celebrate that. A sewer is going to sewer.” Some of the libs are now attacking Fetterman saying that he is going to flip to the republicans. Nonsense. Fetterman is still a progressive but perhaps a more moderate one.
