Unhinged Pro-Choice Student Throws Punches, Gets Citation For Assault

The reaction of this 19-year-old college student almost makes Brian Sims look rational by comparison. Almost.

A group called Created Equal set up a display of pro-life posters on the campus of University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. You can’t really see them in the video below but those posters are graphic depictions of abortion. In fact, this group is a successor to another group called the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform which toured college campuses putting up graphic images of abortion for over a decade. In any case, the images were apparently too much for one female college student who asked the intern watching the signs if he was responsible and then immediately started throwing punches. From Fox News:

[Jillian] Ward approached the group’s display on April 2, asking them, “Did y’all put these up?”

When Austin Beigel confirmed that he did, she raced toward him with fists flying. Beigel was allegedly punched in the face a number of times and was also hit in the stomach.

“F***ing terrible person,” Ward screamed. “You’re a terrible person. You — this is not okay. This is not okay. This is not okay. Shut the f**k up right now. This is wrong. This is triggering. You’re not an innocent human being. You’re a terrible person.”

She’s not wrong about the images being triggering. They’re meant to be. But they’re meant to trigger thought and reflection, not violence. Here’s the video:



The guy filming (and being punched) is named Austin Beigel. According to the Created Equal website, he’s a student himself as well as an intern with the group. He handled this bad situation about as well as it could be handled. He backed away and told her to stop and to...

Resurfaced clips of Schiff, Pelosi slamming GOP for contempt vote against Eric Holder aren’t aging well

Congressional Democrats have an uncanny “ability” to not recognize their own hypocrisy.

On Wednesday, the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee voted to hold Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt of Congress for not providing them with access to special counsel Robert Mueller’s entire report, including confidential grand jury information.

Before and after the vote, various Democrat leaders issued grandiose speeches or statements decrying the Justice Department’s alleged “corruption” and warning of a “constitutional crisis.”

What’s notable is that the contempt vote and speeches occurred roughly seven years after the same Democrat leaders excoriated then-House Oversight Committee chair Darrell Issa for daring to hold then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. More on this later.

“We’ve talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in it,” House Judiciary Committee chair Jerry Nadler, who’s been battling with Barr for weeks for full access to the Mueller report, said in a hyperbolic speech Wednesday following the committee’s vote.

Yet here’s how he responded when Republicans held Holder in contempt back in 2012:

Paper: Professor Bias May Deflate Conservative College Students’ Grades


Conservative students saw the biggest grade dip when studying in the humanities and social sciences,and a grade boost when studying in hard-science fields. The bias was more pronounced at higher-ranked colleges.

Conservative students enter college with higher SAT scores and GPAs than liberal students, but by the fourth year of college have lower GPAs than liberal peers, which may be a consequence of institutional bias, finds a new working paper from the University of Arkansas.

Self-identified conservative students saw the biggest grade dip when studying in the humanities and social sciences, none when studying in professional fields, and an extra grade advantage when studying in hard-science fields. The bias was more pronounced at higher-ranked colleges and universities.

“Notwithstanding the GPA advantages held by conservative students in high school, students who support banning racist/sexist speech, and who endorse dissent as critical to the political process (positions typically associated with liberalism) enjoy a relative advantage over their peers,” the paper finds.

The authors controlled for students’ family income, SAT scores, and demographics, and repeatedly caution that the GPA effect is comparatively small, although statistically significant, and may have explanations other than professor bias. For example, since other social science has found conservatives tend to follow rules better and score lower on spontaneity and creativity, perhaps those characteristics make them a poorer fit for college or humanities programs.

Statistical analysis on a large database often used by researchers shows that “by the fourth year of college, liberal students tend to have higher grades than conservative peers: ideological self-placement is the only variable in the model changing direction from high school to college” (emphasis original), write paper authors Matthew Woessner of Penn State, Robert Maranto of U-Arkansas, and Amanda Thompson of the University of Georgia. The working paper from U-Arkansas’s Department of Education Reform has not yet been peer-reviewed nor published in an academic journal, but has been released to generate academic input pre-publication, it states.

The paper includes the graph below, showing that conservative students have the highest overall grades in high school, although lower writing and verbal SAT scores than liberal students. This also could reflect conservatives’ higher compliance levels, political biases in the verbal (less objective) portions of tests, neither, or both. Other research has found that high schools highly value compliance and that K-12 teachers award higher grades to more agreeable students and students more similar to them, which lowers...

Jim Acosta Makes A Fool Of Himself At Trump Florida Rally

CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta has become a poster child for The Resistance and that does not appear to be stopping anytime soon.

New York Rep. Jerry Nadler ridiculously claimed that the United States was now in a Constitutional crisis after holding Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt of Congress.

He did not mentioning that he created the crisis, and many analysts on CNN said that he was incorrect and that there was no crisis.



That is, other than Acosta who, again, beclowned himself by pushing a narrative to attack President Donald Trump as he often does.

“President Trump has just added another obstacle to Democrats effort to see the full Mueller report by exerting executive privilege.

“Let’s go to Jim Acosta. The president and his team seem to be defying Democrats at every turn,” CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer said on “The Situation Room.”

“That’s right. As for the news on Donald Trump Jr., the White House at this point is not expected to comment on that news.

“We don’t expect that to happen. You never know what will happen at a Trump rally as the president will be on stage in a couple of hours from now.

“We’ll have to wait and see if he wants to comment on the latest developments regarding his eldest son. The president does appear to be heading toward a constitutional crisis with House Democrats.

“The White House is defending the White House use of executive privilege as the president appears to be turning the art of the deal into the art of the conceal.

“Playing a game of hide and seek, President Trump is pulling out all the stops to keep the full Mueller report out of the hands of Democrats,” he said from the President Trump rally in Panama City, Florida Wednesday.

What is frightening is that Jim probably thought that he had hit a hum dinger of a line with the “art of the conceal” but the Internet did not see it that way:
