There hasn't been a white starting cornerback in the NFL for over a decade. What if an owner said that they are going to draft the best white college cornerback for their team in the upcoming draft? The media would go insane - yet that's exactly what Biden did with SCOTUS.

John 14:16 "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him."

Fact check this.

Do you think Putin cares about climate change? Of course not. However, he does care what everyone else thinks about it and is taking advantage of the West's fear of it. Why? Because as we eviscerate our ability to produce fossil fuels, he is cranking up production and making zillions for himself and his oligarch buddies.

THIS is why NATO won't stop anything Russia does. They can't survive without Russian oil, despite their green energy pipe dreams.

Biden's in the Tranches....

The media is tossing around the phrase 'tranche of sanctions". I don't know if they're saying this because they think that it makes them sound more intelligent or it makes the sanctions sound more impactful than they actually are (they didn't stop the invasion), but what I do know is that the word 'tranche' is most closely associated with the MBOs that led to financial debacle and subsequent housing crash in 2008.

 

It's a term I'd avoid connecting with an administration that I otherwise supported.

Whether or not you like the rest of the song, what are some of your favorite song intros? The intro to the Overture of Phantom of the Opera is one of mine, as is Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Bach, Martha My Dear by the Beatles, I Don't Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats, and Tusk by Fleetwood Mac.

The more that I think about it, the more convinced I become that AOC has never had her ideas meaningfully challenged in her life. She is the product of the participation trophy self-esteem generation that has been patted on the head and told how smart and talented and hard working they are even when their ideas are crap and their work product useless. That's why she responds like a stammering deer in the headlights when her nonsensical drivel is challenged by softball interviewers like Anderson Cooper; this is an entirely new experience for her. She is expecting the house leadership to put gold stars and smiley faces and rainbow stickers next to her name and when that doesn't happen she is authentically dismayed... because it always has.

During AAPI Month, will Amazon feature this photo on their front page with the the headline "Asian is Intelligent"? If not, why not? It's the same racist pandering and stereotyping.

This is crap.

This is Amazon pandering during Black History month. Your melanin level does not determine your degree of creativity any more than your eye color does. Your skin tone, just like your eye color, is a factor of genetic probability and nothing else.

What you DO is what makes you innovative nor not - your skin color has absolutely nothing to do with it.

It's past time for all of us to call this BS out and get beyond the superficial racialism of our society.
