Re: Mass exodus from schools.

How long before legislation is purposed and enacted, to punish parents for removing kids from public education?

Hugh Hewitt, use to ask of his more liberal first time guests, if the Rosenberg’s were communists. The answers were always illuminating. The left has no enemies to their left.

These daily links get so disturbing. They say a lot about the present state of the news cycles. I’d quit checking in on this site if I could only find a place to insulate my consciousness from the idiots in the world (idiots in the highest places).

Thanks BD and the rest of you real folks for your commitment to keeping this going.

Let’s Go Brandon!!!

PS excuse my lack of valuable comment, just letting out a little frustration.

The Eternal Return of Ethel Rosenberg. A much-loved new biography argues that the convicted Soviet spy “betrayed no one.” How has the myth of her innocence become so untethered from the evidence of her guilt? The STUPID is STRONG in many ones.

Colleges Learning Costly Woke Math in the Courtroom School of Hard Knocks: GOOD NEWS!!!

New York City Has Run Out of 'Gifted and Talented' Students: NO, it's run them off.

Portland on the verge of the most violent year in modern history: Portland, the "auto da fe" city of the year/century.

Illegal Monopoly Google and Its Illegal Monopoly YouTube Announce They Will Ban All Ads and All Content Disputing the "Climate Change" Hoax: As I keep saying, the climate has been changing ever since our planet got an atmosphere.

"Xi: We need a "peaceful reunification" with Taiwan." No, just leave them alone...and eat your liver.

QUOTE:

That is incorrect. Google (including YouTube) has about 29% market share. Facebook has about 25%, and Amazon about 10%.

There is a great deal of concentration in the industry, but Republicans have spent the last couple of generations weakening anti-trust enforcement. Monopolies are not necessarily illegal, by the way, but face certain restrictions.

"Their not defending their best"

Just like the George Floyd statue/bust it is actually perfect. Just like the praise and lionization of Trayvon Martin is a perfect description of the urban African American today. It really makes no sense to search for someone good to represent African Americans when these examples are so honest and accurate. Imagine the African American mother holding up these two (or any African American that makes the news) as examples of someone to strive to emulate. There are a million videos on youtube where an African American is beating, robbing, punching, etc. some old lady or Asian. Every time some horrible crime is committed in any of our large cities we all know the criminal is likely to be. Someone gets pushed into a subway train and wait for it... the criminal is an African American. About the only break in this endless parade of African American criminals beating and killing people in our large cities is the occasional illegal alien doing it.

So don't begrudge them their statues of George Floyd or Trayvon Martain, that is their highest goal in life.

Didn't Nikita Kruschev praise the Rosenbergs in his biography? I seem to recall that he said the information provided by them greatly helped the Russians.

Yes, he did, in his (auto)biography. Having both (including post-Glastnost that includes some excised versions) on my bookshelf, I had checked it out.

The argument could be made that other atomic spies deserved execution more than Ethel Rosenberg- such as Klaus Fuchs. IIRC, the prosecution told the Rosenbergs that the death penalty would be dropped if they admitted guilt. But the party line was to not admit guilt, and the Rosenbergs were loyal to the end.

If the Soviets didn't have the atom bomb, it is not likely they would have given Kim Il Sung the green light to invade South Korea. How many were killed in the Korean War- a million? As such, the atom bomb spies- even small fry like Ethel Rosenberg- have a lot of blood on their hands.

My cousin in NYC lives less than a five minute walk from the SoHo apartment where the Rosenbergs lived.

If Xi wants a peaceful reunification with Taiwan, there's a very simple way he can have it that is totally within his control. All he need do is disband the Communist Party and renounce his government.

Your comment fits perfectly well with the American deep state, Joe Biden’s junta. Peace throughout the land, if only communists would quit communism. All I ask is that you leave me alone. These mental midgets can’t do that. And they think of themselves as progressive. Nothing new under the sun.

Biden has always been an mean crude asshole. He was a racists back when the Democrats didn't hide their racism. He was always eager to take revenge upon those who disagreed with him. I think that the open borders and destroying the economy is about revenge on the middle class and middle America for voting for Trump. I believe he is actually willing to destroy the country if it destroys the middle class.

There is little left of Biden that is still functional (maybe there never was) as I see most of this chaos and dysfunctional programming is a product of the administrative state and Obama. Neither will be up for election ever and the current economy must be destroyed before they can replace it with their 3rd way, build back better, or socialism, whichever term you prefer.

Because they've lied about just about everything for 2,000 years
(including the 3,000 years before that)?
