Is it DEI, IED or DIE? Yes, it is!

February 22, 2023 By R.W. Trewyn

Diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, has become a driving force in hiring practices across America.  It’s replacing equal employment opportunity, EEO, in today’s discussions when new employees are recruited. Within major corporations, universities, and elsewhere, executives specializing in DEI have become common.  As these entities upgrade to the more fashionable DEI officers, EEO managers will become obsolete. Why?  They serve the same purpose, right? Wrong!  In fact, it’s not even close. When America’s woke progressives successfully snookered the nation into accepting equity (the impractical pursuits of equal outcomes) as a replacement for equality (equal opportunity) the ballgame changed, majorly.  The topline issue is no longer about hiring the applicant with the best credentials to do the work.  Today, training and experience for a job barely count with DEI employers...............To Read More...

• Kristina Karamo becomes Michigan's first Black GOP Chair, and media mockery ensues,  February 21, 2023 By Jack Hellner - So much for being champions of diversity and applauding historic firsts.. Elected by her peers, a Black conservative made history and just became the chair of the Michigan Republican Party; no doubt, mainstream media outlets all received the same list of talking points, because the negative headlines and articles are so similar. Kristina Karamo is a “far-right election denier”:These articles could have been written by rudimentary AI, since the people pretending to be reporters clearly didn’t do their own research before writing the articles.............To Read More....
• Fifty years too late, white men are figuring out they’re in trouble February 22, 2023 -The left often attacks Tucker Carlson as a demagogue, but I find that he is mostly on target.  This infuriates the left, as his audience dwarfs its mainstream media outlets, including the sought-after younger viewer demographics. This spells trouble for Democrats, who have been able to pull the wool over the eyes of younger voters for decades (myself included, in my teens and 20s, with a very brief relapse 10 years ago).  Most young, college-educated people haven't experienced the real world of taxes, inflation, affirmative action, and other challenges of adult life.  The Biden administration's incompetence and wokeness at all costs have thrown cold water on their idealism and naïveté. That said, it appears that Tucker has had an epiphany spurred on by a far-reaching "equity" policy introduced by Biden last week.The left’s relentless push to marginalize white men through affirmative action is reaching a crescendo under Biden.

• The future of ‘progressivism’, February 21, 2023 By J.A. Frascino, MD - The progressive movement is based on certain assumptions. It holds that human nature can be improved by mandating moral behavior through the application of regulations, incentives, and punishments. In addition, the philosophy believes that the power of the federal government can be harnessed to improve the individual, and transform society through political action. It seeks to establish a form of statism in which government experts scientifically administer a regulatory state for the common good.Progressivism has become an increasingly influential force in shaping our culture, society, and government policy since its inception at the beginning of the 20th century. In its earlier days, the movement was instrumental in establishing women’s suffrage, worker’s rights, environmental protection measures, and welfare programs. As late as the 60s, it championed the Social Security and Medicare programs and supported the Civil Rights Act, despite the internal resistance of the Southern Democrat congressional bloc..............
•  Biden’s Wonderful World of ‘Equity’ Steve McCann - Immediately after his inauguration on January 20, 2021 Joe Biden, signed an executive order placed in front of him directing the federal government to “…pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all.”  On February 16, 2023, he signed a follow-up executive order mandating that all federal agencies create teams and annual plans to insure equity within all government agencies and to utilize government programs to compel equity within the private sector. The use of the word “equity” is a deliberate attempt to hoodwink the American public, who are fully are on board with a similar-sounding word “equality.”  Equity, unlike equality, isn’t equal access to opportunity or equal protection before the law. Equity, per the American Marxists, is the redistribution of societal status, legal protection, and economic goods (i.e., jobs and material possessions) in accordance with their politized assessment of disadvantages and demographics............ 
•  A Great Awakening Decades in the Making, By J.B. Shurk  February 23, 2023 - Over at The Conservative Treehouse, Sundance has again managed to generate a treasure trove of anecdotal history, evidence, and analysis from those who visit his site.  Last month, he asked readers: if "[y]ou did not take the COVID-19 shot, why not?"  The thousands of personal responses were illuminating and created a kind of timeline showing how irreconcilable conflicts pitting available scientific knowledge and common sense against the government's own actions, orders, statements, and censorship heightened public distrust of COVID mandates and "vaccines," until various tipping points spilled over into outright rejection of political, medical, and media authorities.  This month, Sundance asks a more foundational question: "When did you start really paying attention?"  In other words, when did you "recognize that things around you, things you perhaps didn't pay attention to before, were not what you thought they were"?  What was the moment when "your political awakening began"?  ...............
• Social-Justice Shrinks: How Identity Politics Infected Therapy, By Sally Satel February 21 - In winter 2019, Leslie Elliott enrolled as a graduate student in Antioch University’s Mental Health Counseling program. At first, she found it to be a stimulating master’s program — informative and clinically relevant. Then she took a required course in “multicultural counseling.” “We were taught that race should be the dominant lens through which clients were to be understood and therapy conducted,” says Elliott, a mother of four who’d majored in psychology.

  Elliott’s professors taught her, for example, that if clients were white, she was supposed to help them see how they unwittingly perpetuate white supremacy. “We were encouraged to regard white clients as ‘reservoirs of racism and oppression.’” White women, one professor told a class, were “basic bitches,” “Beckys” and “nothing special.” If the client were black, Elliott was told to ask how it felt to sit with her, a white counselor. If the client felt at ease, “my job — regardless of what brought him to therapy — was to make him more aware of how being black compounded, or perhaps caused, his problems...............

  Welcome to America’s Racialized Medical Schools, by John Sailer Feb. 22, 2023 - Forget about the oath to do no harm, future doctors are being forced to swear allegiance to racial dogmas. Earlier this month, the White House announced a five-year plan for redressing racial inequality. It is essentially the Biden administration’s version of a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) plan, like those issued by nearly every major university, only at a vastly larger scale. The policy aims to “advance an ambitious, whole-of-government approach to racial equity and support for underserved communities” by embedding equity goals in every aspect of the government. From the highest offices of the state down to the smallest local bureaucracies, DEI now pervades almost all levels of American society. And while it was once thought that the fringe racial theories that animate the DEI agenda could be confined to small liberal arts campuses, it is clear that is no longer the case...........

  Texas A&M University Displays the Destructive Results of Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Programs, Brad Slager  Feb 22, 2023 - One of the great ironies in contemporary college systems is how rampantly anti-intellectual they have become over the course of the last generation or so. Cerebral rigor, open-mindedness, and challenging information have long been underpinning aspects of university life. These days, those same elements are regarded as threats on too many campuses. More troubling is the inability of some schools to apply common sense while looking at the concrete results of a failed experiment. This takes us to College Station, Texas. Texas A&M University has been leaning heavily into the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives that have been mushrooming across the country at universities and corporations. These social engineering programs are claimed to be set up to make the opportunity and acceptance of minorities more widespread, while critics have maintained these are more like opportunities to exact social revenge and pave the way for activism to gain more power. At TAMU, the critics are being proven correct..........

  
  

Abortion: You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up

By Rich Kozlovich

There are some things so incredibly stupid it's hard to believe anyone sane could spout them.  One psychologist claims unborn babies can give permission for their murder, aka, abortion, by telepathically communicating the desire to be murdered to the mother before they're born, in effect agreeing to, and  we're to assume, thankful for their murder.  

Imagine that!

Oh, and it gets better. Better being another word for insane.   Get this:

In the article “Conscious Abortion: Engaging the Fetus in a Compassionate Dialogue” in the Journal of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health, psychologist Claudette Nantel encourages women to communicate with their baby before an abortion, tell them how much they love them, say goodbye, and even get their child’s permission for the abortion.

Imagine that. 

Of course this is all predicated on the idea the murderer and her victim are capable of being in telepathic communication in the first place.  Furthermore for those who buy into this it's explained the murderer and the victim need to have:

"a heart-to-heart conversation with her baby in the womb, explaining how this is not a good time for her to raise a child, reassuring them that they are deeply loved.”

Now, I would think most people would consider this ....wellll ......just a bit ... insane?  Especially since they're going to have this telepathic conversation about the murderer's deep and abiding love for her victim, just before the victim is to be "dismembered or poisoned".   After all, everyone knows dismembering and poisoning goes hand in hand with being deeply loved.  Right?

Or how about this:

Several other counselors tell women with unwanted pregnancies to ask their baby to leave the womb. PH Fairfield instructs the following: “With deep love and concern, ask [the baby] to leave. Let yourself feel the divine love and connection with them, then tell them that it is not time for them to come in, or that you would like them to come back at a later time.” It is hoped, then, the baby will choose to leave, and the woman will miscarry. If not, then they believe abortion is needed to complete the process.

They would like them to come back another more convenient time?  And the victim is to agree to this and commit suicide?  Really?  Did I get that right?  Did I miss something here?  And just how is this victim to come back at a more convenient time after dying?

Who in the world could possibly think up this kind of thing?  Also, what if during this, "conversation", where the murderer asks the victim to leave the body and die, the victim says...NO?

One woman allegedly “heard” the child say no, so she came back and "said" to the victim.....“You don’t mean that?”   So she had the "surgical intervention" anyway feeling no guilt because she knew she made the right decision.  You see, it appears she concluded since the baby didn't respond to her "you don't mean that" question, the victim's silence denoted agreement to the "surgical intervention", and the following death by dismemberment and or poison.  

Now, at this point, I have to ask:  Does anyone find any fault with that kind of reasoning?  Does anyone besides me think this is nuts?  Worse yet, apparently this isn't some isolated bit of insanity either.   The writer notes:

The phenomenon of “conscious abortion” is about twisting reality to make abortion acceptable, even while admitting it’s killing babies. If doctors, counselors, and women having abortions believe the baby has no objections, they don’t have to feel guilty.

Guilt expiation for profit!  

This apparently is being pushed in a lot of places, and guilt expiation really is the thrust of all this isn't it? If these babies are capable of being in communication with their mothers, as they're claiming, and vise versa, then doesn't that make them sentient beings with rights?  

Let's face it, if abortion isn't murder, as these mass murderers claim, then why is there any need to expiate the guilt for murdering them in the first place?  This twisted psychobabble doesn't expiate anyone's guilt for the murder of all this innocent blood they've shed, and will shed.  

Their own arguments condemn them.
