[PJMedia] I must say, I feel bad for men on college campuses now. Good luck. According to a new report, Joe Biden’s Department of Education (DOE) is planning to roll back Title IX due process regulations after President Donald Trump’s administration restored them.
The Trump-era rule required schools "to respond meaningfully to every known report of sexual harassment and to investigate every formal complaint," and "apply basic due process protections for students, including a presumption of innocence throughout the grievance process; written notice of allegations and an equal opportunity to review all evidence collected; and the right to cross-examination, subject to ’rape shield’ protections."

Liberal colleges are slowly dying. 50% loss in next 5-10 years. In contrast conservative institutions are thriving. High paid non college doing very well. Long term must better for men. Working with women has many drawbacks. Why, you are always in the wrong.

^ Respectfully disagree. I worked with a major corporation as a consultant to two female managers and had a sharp female assistant. They were all excellent people who's work won a Computer World Magazine 'Software of The Year Award' for their company nine months after I began working with them. It was an honor working with those three incredible over achievers.
I eventually overcame my paranoia, frustration, and anger. I chose to feed my family as opposed to being ethically and morally correct. Yes, I am compromised.

I’ve worked with and for women who were amazing, and ditto for women who were all the negative stereotypes. On an even playing field the former predominated; when given preference and unequal protections, the latter did.

..a lot would change if the accuser who bore false witness were punished to the same degree that the accused would face if found guilty. We're in a zero trust society now because no one pays an equivalent (equitable) penalty for bearing false witness.

Hmmm working with incredible women have nothing to do with this article. This is about due process, something we should all be afforded, no matter the crime.

"...in loco parentis." The University used to act as boarding schools and demanded to have custodial rights over all the students. This has been going on forever, but the major change is that the college administrators have become radicalized.

Draft dodgers have achieved prominence in organized religion. "What have they done to my song" a Readers Digest article explains what and how it all happened.

Wow!
Reader's Digest is still around?
From the time I was 3, I would sit in my Dad's lap and he would read the stories aloud, tracing a finger across each line, down every page.

Women are master manipulators. One co worker had a black book with the names of many men. She would sleep with them and in a day or two demand $900 dollars for an abortion. She was forced to court for child support she could not prove the man was the child's father. A mans daughter had a sleep over. Next day he talked to his daughter that she should not associate with her. Well she told her friend. Young lady reported the father sexually abused her. Six months later after court activities the young lady admitted her false accusation. This is today's new normal for men.

It would be easy to make a similar unfair extrapolation about all men from your example, Dale. Perhaps, for instance, if so many men chose not to bed the office mattress on the first date, she would have nothing to blackmail them with... and they wouldn’t have to hope that penicillin still is effective when that thing looks like that a month later.
Also, for information: the lady in question could not possibly have tested positive for pregnancy on day three after intercourse. At best the over-the-counter pee stick tests won’t work until 14 to 21 days have passed. Did not a single one of those men challenge her on her claim, or were they all too proud of the superpowers of their little swimmers?
As for the fake accusation, that’s been around for generations. Remember Vice President Pence never being alone with a woman not his wife, nor in a meeting where women were present without leaving the door open? That wasn’t to protect them from him, but him from lies about his reputation.
#16
TW you are so right. We have due process in our laws to sort through the rapists and those opportunists that lie. It only goes sideways when someone decides due process does not apply, as some universities have taken into hand.

[NYP] Nearly half of President Biden’s 22.2 million Twitter followers are bogus, a new audit revealed.
The audit, which was done for the social media giant by software firm SparkToro, found that 49.3% of the president’s followers are "fake followers," according to Newsweek.
SparkToro has defined "fake followers" as "accounts that are unreachable and will not see the account’s tweets (either because they’re spam, bots, propaganda, etc. or because they’re no longer active on Twitter)."
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is attempting to buy Twitter, has expressed concern over the growing number of fake accounts and proposed a potential crackdown on the sham accounts.
Likely parallels the 2020 presidential election vote count.

But Elon Musk who employs tens of thousands of people, and created a successful electric car company from scratch. The man who declared COVID as a fraud, called out Twitter on the bot issue. Sez he will no longer vote for democrats, is yes..... the evil one.

The destruction of silly con valley's disinformation cartel would be just as bad for the GOPe as for the dems, so there's a lot of tsuris all around at what Musk is doing.

Somewhere in the WH, some poor staffer is crushed to discover that his or her work is only half as popular as they thought. What if all the likes and retweets are bots? Counseling will be needed and probably a full bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.

..which is why when they go full stupid and do something to spark a civil war, they'll find how few are willing to literally die on that hill for them. Oh, there will be some true believers, but the field isn't that deep.
[NYPOST] Members of the research firm that commissioned the infamous "Steele dossier" met with a journalist to spread an incorrect theory linking Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... and Russia after learning about it from former Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, a meeting participant testified Wednesday.
The testimony from Laura Seago, a former analyst at the Fusion GPS research firm, came after the judge in the case ruled that special counsel John Durham’s team could present some evidence of Sussmann’s meetings with the company and its associate, former British spy Remington Christopher Steele.
Seago told jurors at Sussmann’s trial that the meeting with Franklin Foer came after she was tasked with "translating" computer data that purported to show a secret back channel between a Trump Organization server and Russia’s Alfa Bank, so it could be understood by "a lay audience."
Seago, Fusion GPS co-founder Peter Fritsch, a former Wall Street Journal news hound, and Fusion employee Jake Berkowitz, met up at Foer’s house in the fall of 2016, she said.
During the hourlong sit-down, they told Foer that the information had been vetted by "highly credible computer scientists" who "seemed to think these allegations were credible," Seago testified.
"We certainly hoped he would publish an article," she said.

[NYPOST] The Biden administration has "paused" its controversial plans to create a Disinformation Board, causing its would-be leader to resign.
In a statement Wednesday, Nina Jankowicz, the "disinformation expert" tapped to head the panel, said that "[w]ith the Board’s work paused and its future uncertain, and [sic] I have decided to leave DHS [the Department of Homeland Security] to return to my work in the public sphere." Jankowicz’s departure and the decision to scrap the board was first reported by the Washington Post.
The board had been the subject of weeks of backlash from Republicans, libertarians and even some liberals, who likened the scheme to the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell’s classic novel "1984."

Publicly it has been scraped.
But what happens behind DC close doors now that this trial balloon has been tested.
Watch for the DC list of promises like Public Oversight, when they try to bring it back, dusted off and rebranded.

Pause...as in wait until the current controversy dies down then appoint a new disinformation tsar who is not quite as Loony Tunes as Jankowicz.

when a bureaucracy gets as far as an organisiation chart, the product never goes away. That's what 'paused' means. But we have all these plans on paper, and filing cabinets, and desks, and stuff! (And I was gonna get my cousin's sister in-law a job there...)

With the improvement of the economy as the covid restrictions were lifted came an increase in demand; this happened under Biden, though not because of Biden. With the various changes in permitting and leasing etc. - and even just the threat of changes - came a decrease in supply; this WAS due to the Biden administration. With the artificial increase in money supply came inflation, and the resulting increase in the apparent price of oil; this was due to both Trump and Biden actions. The combination is responsible for the oil price increase.

The story in question makes it sound like the Biden Admin are Cargo cultists. They do things for show hoping they'll get the same effect as really doing them. Just as they opened up Oil Drilling leases and got all the good press, then cancelled them before they could actually make any difference.
[IsraelTimes] Initiative backed by ’Squad’ of progressive politicians, to mark ’catastrophe’ of 1948, unlikely to receive a vote; represents latest broadening of Israel debate in Democratic party
Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Monday introduced the first-ever Congressional resolution that would see the US formally recognize the Paleostinian "Nakba" or "catastrophe" that coincided with the establishment of Israel.
The initiative was submitted on the 74th anniversary of when Paleostinians commemorate their displacement and dispossession during Israel’s War of Independence in 1948-1949.
The resolution was co-sponsored by fellow members of the so-called progressive Squad, Reps. Alexandria Sandy Ocasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore... , Ilhan Omar ...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side... , Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush ...a member of the progressive Squad. Born in St. Louis, Bush represents Missouri's 1st congressional district that includes all of the city of St. Louis and a large part of northern St. Louis County. Cori sez America is Racist AF... along with Democratic Reps Betty McCollum and Marie Newman.
It is likely that the measure won’t even receive a vote, given the overwhelming support for Israel in both parties, but its submission represents the latest demonstration of the broadening debate on Israel in the Democratic party, as sympathy with the Paleostinian cause and support for a two-state solution shrinks among Republicans.
The resolution acknowledges the "Right of Return," for millions of Paleostinian refugees, which Israel argues would mark the end of the Jewish state.
It states that Israel "depopulated more than 400 Paleostinian villages and cities, often demolishing all structures, planting forests over them, or repopulating them with Jewish Israelis" during the 1948 war.
The legislation claims that the Nakba is an "ongoing process," pointing to Israel’s establishment of hundreds of settlements and outposts in the West Bank.
Tlaib — who is of Paleostinian descent — also references US awareness of the "scale and magnitude of the Paleostine refugee crisis as it unfolded. The resolution refers to an October 1948 telegram sent from the US Embassy in Israel to the secretary of state warning that the "Arab Refugee tragedy is rapidly reaching catastrophic proportions and should be treated as a disaster."
The resolution declares that it is US policy to officially commemorate the Nakba; reject efforts to deny the Nakba; encourage educating the public on the Nakba; continue US financial support for Paleostinian refugees; and support the implementation of United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... General Assembly Resolution 194, which enshrines the Paleostinian Right of Return.
The resolution was lambasted by pro-Israel groups as well as politicians from both parties.
"The root of the catastrophe: the Arab world refused to accept the UN plan for a Jewish and Arab state in what was left of the UK’s Paleostine Mandate after Jordan’s creation. Instead, five Arab armies invaded Israel, attempting to destroy it and push the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea," tweeted the Democratic Majority for Israel.
"This is another attempt by the most radical leftists in Congress to delegitimize our ally Israel and to promote anti-Israel and frankly antisemitic efforts to destroy the only democracy in the Middle East," said Republican Jewish Coalition chairman Norm Coleman.
"The fact that such a resolution could be introduced at all demonstrates that the Democratic leadership in the House is completely unwilling or unable to rein in the worst impulses of their caucus."
