Jonathan “Jay” Sures, a regent at the University of California (UC), is calling out ethnic studies professors in the public university system who signed a letter condemning the word “terrorism” to describe Hamas. ”There are absolutely no words to describe how appalling and repugnant I found your...letter,” Sures states. (snip) Sures decried the fact that the Ethnic Studies Faculty Council is made up of over 300 faculty members. “The thought that young and impressionable students might be taught the falsehoods of your letter absolutely sickens me.”

A regent in California that gets it right and has enough spine to stand up to the haters and the supporters of the 7th century barbarians. And they are so, so, so massively stupid. Those same 7th century barbarians would cut their throats in a heartbeat, given the chance.

Props to anyone willing to stand against this cancerous ideology. I am pleasantly surprised to hear this more often that I expected. Maybe some people are getting red pilled and that is always a good thing.

The fact that there are 300 "Ethnic Studies" faculty members is mind-boggling.

On the latest episode of his podcast The McCarthy Report, National Review Institute fellow Andy McCarthy reacted to the revelation that Joe Biden’s brother, James, wrote him a $40,000 check when a $400,000 payment from a Chinese concern came in. “It’s 10 percent for the big guy,” he said. “I can’t see any other way of looking at this,” he continued, “except to say that Joe Biden, as it turns out, is what they accused Donald Trump of being: He is a clandestine agent who’s been well paid by a hostile foreign power.”

Google’s search results consistently favor pro-abortion sources over pro-life ones, according to a new study that tested the search engine giant against its competitors. A new report by researchers at the Media Research Center’s Free Speech America says that a pro-abortion bias exists across Google’s search engine, its AI chatbot Bard, Google Ads, and company policies. Researchers at the MRC compared Google results to those of Bing and DuckDuckGo, saying that results from Google tilted in favor of a pro-abortion perspective. During one test, researchers searched for the word “pregnancy” on all three search engines the day before the 50th Annual March for Life.

Saying ‘A Bun In The Oven’ Is Now
Offensive, Claims Historian.

Posted by Beardo 11/3/2023 1:37:08 PM Post Reply
The idiom for pregnancy, “a bun in the oven,” which traces its origins back more than 2,000 years to Ancient Greece, is in fact “misogynistic,” according to Kathleen Crowther, an historian of reproductive medicine at the University of Oklahoma. Crowther insists the idiom reduces the role of the mother to a mere incubator after the majority of the work has been done by the man. “I don’t think most people who use that metaphor are being misogynistic.” “But I think it actually does come from a deeply misogynistic tradition of thinking about women’s bodies as passive,” she argues.

Ohio voters approved a ballot measure Tuesday night that will effectively outlaw any restrictions on abortion and other procedures that involve reproduction, including gender-transition surgeries. The measure, known as Issue 1, will also remove parental-consent and notification requirements for minors who undergo the procedures. The amendment includes vague language about prohibiting any law that “directly or indirectly” would “burden” or “interfere” with “reproductive decisions.” Opponents of the measure argue it would also outlaw nearly any restrictions on abortion or other reproduction-related procedures,

The Biden administration reportedly would not sell weapons to Israel unless the country guaranteed that guns would not be given to civilians. In other words, they are now trying to force their gun control desires into foreign policy issues. As many people have pointed out, a large portion of the Israeli’s who died in the October 7th attack were not armed, which made the situation much worse than it could have been.

The American Medical Association (AMA) will debate whether to reverse its stance on assisted suicide this month at its next interim meeting. A set of resolutions, proposed by AMA’s Resident and Fellow section, suggest the AMA should abandon its opposition to assisted suicide, adopting instead a neutral stance on the practice. The resolutions also propose changing the official language from “assisted suicide” to “medical aid in dying” (MAID) at the meeting,[Snip] These proposals, if adopted, fundamentally change the AMA’s position on assisted suicide. The AMA determined in its last policy deliberations that assisted suicide is “fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer.”
Trump 'stands alone in American history'

Special counsel Jack Smith's team filed a lengthy response Monday to former President Donald Trump's motions to dismiss his federal election interference case on statutory and constitutional grounds, saying the former president "stands alone in American history for his alleged crimes." Trump's lawyers have filed multiple motions to dismiss the Jan. 6 case, including mounting arguments that the charges brought against him were unconstitutionally applied and ran afoul of the charging statutes. Trump in August pleaded not guilty to charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors," using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations,"

In 2015, the so-called Arab Spring, which Barack Obama helped foment, turned into the Muslim march on Europe. As you may recall, then-Chancellor Angela Merkel, from her powerful position as head of the EU’s most powerful nation, invited in all the displaced refugees from across the Muslim Middle East and Africa. It was an invasion by invitation, and now Germany may soon become a Muslim-controlled country. It’s almost impossible to describe the stupidity (or evil) of Merkel’s decision to invite Islam into Europe.

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends.

It was possible to admire what my foes the Democrats were up to at times. For example, they used to be great at playing the long game in politics. Republicans were reacting to what was hot in a particular election cycle, while the Dems were getting their pre-teens prepped for an eventual school board run on their way to Congress. They've still got some of that going on, but the emotions for which Democrats
