90 Miles From Tyranny

Are You Red Pilled?

They're picking up the prisoners

And putting 'em in a pen

And all she wants to do is dance, dance

Rebels been rebels since I don't know when

And all she wants to do is dance

Molotov cocktail the local drink

And all she wants to do is dance, dance

Crazy people walking round with blood in their eyes

And all she wants to do is dance, dance

Wild-eyed pistol wavers

Who ain't afraid to die

And all she wants to do is

All she wants to do is dance and make romance

She can't feel the heat coming off the street

How Libraries Are Indoctrinating Kids To Think All White People Are Racists

The 'anti-racist' books being pushed by the American Library Association replace history with the politics of resentment and fuel the flames of anger.

As he watched Joseph Stalin’s coffin removed from Red Square in 1961, Yevgeny Yevtushenko asked, “But how to remove Stalin from Stalin’s heirs.” For us, in 2020 the question becomes: “How to remove racism from the anti-racists?”

According to Ibram X. Kendi, a rising scholar of the white disorder called racism, there is no such thing as being non-racist. You are either a purposeful anti-racist or a racist. No neutral ground exists. To be “color-blind” is a ruse. Since racism is the original sin of Euro-Americans, to be anti-racist is to be … well, you finish the sentence.

Even the American Library Association has genuflected to the unspoken substructure of the anti-racist meme. Amid protests following the death of George Floyd, the ALA issued a press release heaving with self-accusation. It confessed:

The American Library Association (ALA) accepts and acknowledges its role in upholding unjust systems of racism and discrimination against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) within the association and the profession.

We recognize that the founding of our Association was not built on inclusion and equity, but instead was built on systemic racism and discrimination in many forms. We also recognize the hurt and harm done to BIPOC library workers and communities due to these racist structures.

Penitent librarians rushed to promote “an anti-racist reading list,” a round-up of titles and authors suited to grievance studies seminars and mandatory re-education workshops. The keynote was struck by the collected pensées of former Black Panther and police abolitionist Angela Davis, and Kendi’s instructions to white people on how to disown the racism of good intentions and become...

Fact Check: Debunking 10 Myths About the US Postal Service

In 2020, we’re used to seeing falsehoods and misinformation spreading like wildfire online. Typically, they’re linked to breaking news, hot-button social issues, or scandals.

The biggest focal point for online political drama today is an unlikely one; namely, the U.S. Postal Service. Representatives from both parties, conspiracy theorists, and even singer Taylor Swift are weighing in on the unsexy subject of mail.

Make no mistake: The Postal Service faces real challenges that require congressional action to solve. Yet, while genuine differences exist between the left and the right about how best to address the problems, that’s not an excuse for melodramatic rumor-mongering.

With the House convening a special session specifically to address issues involving the Postal Service, it’s important to separate myths from reality.

MYTH No. 1: The Postal Service is removing sorting machines to sabotage delivery

REALITY: The volume of mail has plunged in recent decades, due to the spread of electronic communication. As a result, the amount of infrastructure needed to manage the flow of mail also has declined.

The Postal Service has been consolidating operations for years to reduce costs, a practice that predates President Donald Trump.

MYTH No. 2: The Postal Service is removing collection boxes to block mail-in ballots.

REALITY: The Postal Service has more than 141,000 blue collection boxes spread across the country. Those boxes are moved regularly from low-demand to high-demand areas to maximize efficiency.

Photos of those boxes on the backs of trucks are part of standard operating procedure, rather than proof of a nefarious, anti-election plot.

Despite that, the Postal Service has decided to pause any further moving of boxes until after the election as a result of the online panic.

MYTH No. 3: The Postal Service is locking collection boxes to prevent public access.

REALITY: Locked caps are sometimes put on collection boxes in areas where there is a rash of mail theft. Employees place the caps after the final pickup of the day and remove them in the morning, since collection box theft is overwhelmingly done at night.

This practice also predates the Trump administration.

MYTH No. 4: The Postal Service could go bankrupt before the election without a $25 billion bailout:

California Makes It Illegal For Students To Skip Anti-racism Training

More universities demand students take mandatory ‘race and ethnicity’ courses.

Two more Universities in the US are demanding that students enroll on ‘race and ethnicity’ courses, with the Governor of California signing a mandate for the classes into law.

Campus Reform reports that California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 1460 on Monday, making it compulsory for all students in the California State University system to undertake a three-unit class in either Native American, African American, Asian American, or Latina/Latino studies.

Without the credits from the mandatory anti-racism training students will not be able to begin other studies.

The law will be implemented at the start of the 2024-25 school year, according to the report.

Some officials within the University are opposed to the $16 million development, according to the student Newspaper the Sundial.

In addition to California, the University of Pittsburgh also announced Monday that a one-credit online course on ‘systemic anti-Black racism and anti-racism’ will be a mandatory requirement for all new students beginning this Fall.

The University will also introduce a “Anti-racism, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Action Plan.” for staff and and student workers, with the HR department also adding a compulsory anti-racism training module.

These developments follow Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia mandating that all of its students take a “Race and Ethnicity Requirement” course from next year, following consistent demands from the university’s black...

The “most banned woman in the world” pulled out a major upset against the Republican establishment which had, in recent weeks, shifted to being less antagonistic towards the right-wing candidate as a result of her performance in polls as well as fundraising efforts.

Decision Desk called the FL-21 for Laura Loomer at 8:02pm on August 18th, just over an hour after polls had closed:

Loomer – who has been systematically targeted by Big Tech firms and appears to hold the title for the most banned person from the most apps in America – now goes on to face Democrat Lois Frankel in the Florida 21st Congressional District race.
