HARVESTING BREAST MILK TIME

Lar of Galen...What BO has done to our military is probably his biggest shame.  Not only are they are allowing women into the combat arms, but the Dpt. of the Army has even had to issue directives to commanders that, while “lactate support time” is important, they have to be sure to balance that with readiness (!!!).       “ISIS is attacking!  Cover me while I harvest my breast milk!”

Chancellor of top university dares to tell the truth about affirmative action

By Thomas Lifson

Have we finally come to the emperor-has-no-clothes moment when it comes to quotas, or as they are euphemistically known, “affirmative action”?  There are grounds for hope, as the chancellor of Oxford University, on everyone’s list of the most prestigious universities in the world, speaks truth to P.C. power in an interview with the U.K. Telegraph.

Javier Espinosa writes:

Universities cannot accept more ethnic minority students under a quota system without eroding  standards, the chancellor of Oxford University has warned, as the  Government readies reforms which force them to publish admissions data. (snip)

But as the pressure to accept students from a diverse background increases,  Lord Patten lay the blame on schools for failing to prepare students and  warned that any enforced quotas would result in a lowering of academic  standards.

Lord Patten said: “I am in favour of universities recognising their responsibilities for promoting social inclusion but I don’t think that if  you want high class universities you should expect them to lower their  standards in order to make up for some inadequacies in our secondary  education system."

Lord Patten, who was a Conservative Cabinet minister and former BBC  chairman, said his university is running several schemes to widen access  including scholarship schemes.

He said: “I don’t support quotas at universities. Nobody will explain  to me how you can make a system of quotas work while retaining the highest  admissions standards.

“Quotas must mean lower standards. There are better ways of addressing  social inclusion at universities."

As they say in Parliament: “Hear, hear.”

Equal opportunity really means judging everyone by the same standards.  And affirmative action means not tolerating poor preparatory schools, teacher tenure, and excuses for parents who don’t do their jobs raising children to achieve.

Trump’s Problem With Women

New Trouble For Trump

The New York Times’ front-page article last Saturday on Donald J. Trump’s dealings with women forced me into a weekend of self-examination. As much as I support Trump, this isn’t a cult of personality. He’s not Mao, Kim Jong-un or L. Ron Hubbard. We can like our candidates, but still acknowledge their flaws. No one’s perfect.

I admit there are some things about Trump that give me pause. I’m sure these will come out eventually, so I’m just going to list them.

First — and this is corroborated by five contemporaneous witnesses — in 1978, Trump violently raped Juanita Broaddrick in a Little Rock, Arkansas, hotel room, then, as he was leaving, looked at her bloody lip and said, “Better put some ice on that” — oh wait, I’m terribly sorry. Did I say Trump? I didn’t mean Trump, I meant Bill Clinton.

Hang on — here we go! Knowing full well about Bill Clinton’s proclivity to sexually assault women, about three weeks after that rape, Trump cornered Broaddrick at a party and said, pointedly, “I just want you to know how much Bill and I appreciate the things you do for him. Do you understand? Everything you do.”

No! My mistake! That wasn’t Trump either. That was Hillary Clinton. … But this next one I’m sure was Trump.

In the early 1990s, Trump invited a young female staffer to his hotel room at the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock, dropped his pants and said, “Kiss it” — WAIT A SECOND!

I don’t know how this keeps happening. That was Bill Clinton. Please bear with me — it’s late at night and my notes are jumbled.

As CEO of an organization, Trump had a female employee, just months out of her teens, perform oral sex on him while he made business calls. That girl’s name was Monica Lewin– No! Wrong again! That was Bill Clinton, too! Please don’t stop reading. Let me find my Trump notes …

What I meant was that Trump was the one who later smeared that girl as a delusional stalker. She may have volunteered for the sex — at around age 20 — but Monica Lewinsky didn’t volunteer to be slandered! And yet this fiend, this user-of-women, this retrograde misogynist, Donald Trump, deployed his journalist friends, like Sidney Blumenthal, to spread rumors that Monica was a stalker, trying to blackmail the president.

Oh, boy–this is embarrassing. This must seem very sloppy. That wasn’t Trump either; it was Hillary Clinton.

There must be something here that was Trump … Here! I have one.

When an attractive woman desperately in need of a job came to Trump’s office in 1993, instead of helping, he lunged at her, kissed her on the mouth, grabbed her breast and put her hand on his genitals. He later told a mistress that the claim was absurd because the woman, Kathleen Willey, had such small breasts.

Uh-oh — you’re not going to believe this, but — yep, that was Bill Clinton.

This one, I’m sure was Trump. In January 1992, Trump went on “60 Minutes” to slime nightclub singer Gennifer Flowers, knowing full well she was telling the truth. He implied she belonged in a loony bin, telling millions of viewers “every time she called, distraught … she said sort of wacky things.”

Dammit! I don’t know how this keeps happening. That wasn’t Trump! That was Hillary, smearing one of her husband’s sexual conquests.

Let’s just go back to the Times’ story, based on months of investigation and interviews with hundreds of women. I’ll give it to you straight: When Trump was at the New York Military Academy as a teenager, one person who knew him said — and this is corroborated by two other witnesses: “Donald was extremely sensitive to whether or not the women he invited to campus were pretty.”

I almost threw up reading that. I am physically ill.

New Poll Shows Native Americans Aren't Offended By 'Redskins'

Alan Moore | May 19, 2016 10:04am ET

While the Left continues to use the Washington Redskins as a symbol of cultural appropriation and oppression against Native Americans, the reality is 90 percent of them just don't care.
A new poll conducted by the Washington Post, a notoriously anti-Redskins publication, shows that 9 in 10 Native Americans aren't offended by the Redskins name.

The survey of 504 people in every state and the District reveals that the minds of Native Americans have remained unchanged since a 2004 poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found the exact same result. Responses to The Post’s questions about the issue were broadly consistent regardless of age, income, education, political party or proximity to reservations.

The admission by the Washington Post that feelings have gone unchanged is surprising considering all the attention it has received in recent years. Also, it must be hurtful to the publication that has been on a quest to change the name for years.
The 2004 poll was indeed identical, with only 9 percent of those polled finding the mascot offensive.
In July of last year, a federal judge ordered the cancelation of the Redskins trademark. But in December, in another court case, the Federal Circuit determined the legal basis for such cancelation was unconstitutional. The legal wrangling continues -- but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
