Denigrating one’s own race/culture pays well
White liberal academics can earn more in a day lecturing about their own “white privilege” than the median black household makes in three months, public records obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation and U.S. Census data show. I noticed this "cottage industry" back in the 1990s. Little workshops, discussion groups, "brown bag lunches" and optional classes making the rounds of college campuses and Christian churches (some of those disguised as attacking poverty). Now it's a massive industry with its own non-profits, bureaucracies, tangled associations for local, state and na... more »

Agenda 2030: The Next "Great Leap Forward" - Behind the Deep State
[image: behind-the-deep-state-alex-newman-agenda-2030-the-next-great-leap-lorward] VIDEO - In this episode of Behind the Deep State, host Alex Newman exposes the "environmental friendly" plan that is Agenda 2030. On the surface, it looks like an attempt to help preserve the planet, but to make it work, major radical changes are going to be required for it to work. Newman lists these changes, which would result in less money for the general public, more U.N. control, controlling means of production, as well as mass starvation.

Bringing Russia’s New Nuclear Weapons Into New START
Photo Credit: Wikimedia via War Is Boring The last treaty that limits the United States’s and Russia’s nuclear weapons, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), will expire in February 2021 unless both states agree to its extension. Opponents of extension, including some U.S. officials, have argued against extending the treaty by citing Russia’s new, developmental strategic weapons, which they claim will not be covered by the treaty. Yet the reality is more complex. If the Trump administration is serious about limiting the most immediately worrisome of these weapons, N... more »

When People Discover They've Been Conned
Doug Ford rode to power on two false promises -- buck a beer and cheaper gas.

But the fine print of the promise told a different story. In fact, the Tories weren’t promising beer at $1 a can, just the possibility of it — by removing an old Liberal minimum pricing policy designed to discourage excess consumption (akin to higher cigarette pric... more »

*The Downside Of Diversity* On American campuses, the dogmatic embrace of identity politics has damaged not just the pursuit of truth but the independence ofmind necessary for democracy to flourish. “Diversity” is the most powerful word in higher education today.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission even even told Kraft they could not even advertise that their "singles" contained five ounces of milk because of *the implication* the cheese might have as much calcium as 5 ounces of milk when it only had as much calcium as 3.5 ounces of milk. read more
How contraception works
*Understanding abortive contraception* From the beginning, hormonal birth control was based on deception. Hormonal birth control (the Pill, the Minipill, IUD, Norplant, the morning-after-pill, Depo-Provera, RU-486) has always had three possible functions. The first, often most confused as the only function, is to prevent ovulation. If the first function fails, a possible second function is to thicken the mucus of the cervix so that the sperm cannot reach the egg. The third function, a function which all hormone based contraception has, is to thin the lining of the uterus so tha... more »

Why the F-35 Could Have Looked Like THIS (And Named the F-32)
*TNI Staff* *History, Americas* Strange but true. *One of the main reasons why Lockheed Martin’s design was selected over Boeing’s was because the X-32’s direct lift system—which uses engine thrust to lift the aircraft—is prone to pop stalls. * On October 26, 2001, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that Lockheed Martin’s X-35 had won the Joint Strike Fighter contest over Boeing’s X-32. *(This first appeared in late 2015.)* The win secured Lockheed’s future as the manufacturer for all of America’s fifth-generation fighter platforms.
