This madness of racial disparity is the result of racial discrimination will only lead to a further rapid decline of our country. Nancy

Disparate Impact Thinking Is Destroying Our Civilization

Heather Mac Donald is the Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal. She earned a B.A. from Yale University, an M.A. in English from Cambridge University, and a J.D. from Stanford Law School. She writes for several newspapers and periodicals, including The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and The New Criterion, and is the author of several books, including The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe and When Race Trumps Merit: How the Pursuit of Equity Sacrifices Excellence, Destroys Beauty, and Threatens Lives.
The following is adapted from a talk delivered on February 15, 2024, at a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar in Naples, Florida.
The most consequential falsehood in American public policy today is the idea that any racial disparity in any institution is by definition the result of racial discrimination.
If a cancer research lab, for example, does not have 13 percent black oncologists—the black share of the national population—it is by definition a racist lab that discriminates against competitively qualified black oncologists; if an airline company doesn’t have 13 percent black pilots, it is by definition a racist airline company that discriminates against competitively qualified black pilots; and if a prison population contains more than 13 percent black prisoners, our law enforcement system is racist.
The claim that racial disparities are proof of racial discrimination has been percolating in academia and the media for a long time. After the George Floyd race riots of 2020, however, it was adopted by America’s most elite institutions, from big law and big business to big finance. Even museums and orchestras took up the cry.
Many thought that STEM—the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—would escape the diversity sledgehammer. They were wrong. The American Medical Association today insists that medicine is characterized by white supremacy. Nature magazine declares that science manifests one of “humankind’s worst excesses”: racism. The Smithsonian Institution announces that “emphasis on the scientific method” and an interest in “cause and effect relationships” are part of totalitarian whiteness.
As a result of this falsehood, we are eviscerating meritocratic and behavioral standards in accordance with what is known as “disparate impact analysis.”
Consider medicine. Step One of the medical licensing exam, taken during or after the second year of medical school, tests medical students’ knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathology. On average, black students score lower on the grading curve, making it harder for them to land their preferred residencies. Step One, in other words, has a “disparate impact” on black medical students. The solution, implemented last year, was to eliminate the Step One grading disparity by instituting a pass–fail system. Hospitals choosing residents can no longer distinguish between high and low achieving students—and that is precisely the point!

Unbelievable that our own government is actively destroying our country ! This video goes into detail about exactly how our government is giving incredible benefits to these illegals that they are secretly flying into our country ! Prepare yourself, this is not going to end well. Nancy P.S. There is not a Skip Ad button to the video so we have to endure the commercial before the video begins
Elon Musk Issues ‘9/11’ Warning; 320,000 Illegal Immigrants Secretly Flown Into US
The federal government has now admitted that it has been actively flying illegal immigrants directly into the United States. So far, it has facilitated air travel for 320,000 illegal immigrants. This is in addition to the others who travel to the U.S.–Mexico border and surrender themselves to authorities to enter the amnesty system. Behind this program is a government app that is gaining more attention, known as CBP One, and allows migrants to schedule appointments with U.S. authorities to illegally enter the United States.
In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we’ll discuss this topic and others, and answer questions from the audience.

Subject: EFFECTS OF SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA – TUCKER CARLSON
potustoast.com/tucker-carlson-visits-russian-grocery-store-discovers-americans-have-been-told-a-lie/
While in Russia to interview Vladimir Putin, Tucker Carlson visited a grocery store in Moscow, Russia, and documented his experience. This visit was part of his efforts to understand the impact of U.S. and European sanctions on Russia’s economy. Contrary to the narrative that these sanctions have had a devastating effect on Russia’s economy, Carlson discovered a different situation during his visit.
CLICK BELOW TO VIEW SHORT VIDEO on twitter
twitter.com/i/status/1758097544708538621
Carlson’s video titled “TC Shorts: The Moscow Grocery Store,” provides an inside look at a Russian supermarket. He noted that the sanctions from the United States and other European nations seem to have no visible impact on grocery stores in Russia, despite claims made by corporate media. He also highlighted the variety of food items available in the Moscow supermarket, pointing out that their prices are much more affordable compared to those in the U.S.
This observation raises questions about the effectiveness of the sanctions imposed on Russia and how they are perceived by the general public. It also highlights the importance of firsthand experiences and direct observations in understanding complex socio-economic issues.
During his trip, Carlson also commented on the overall aesthetic appeal and cleanliness of Moscow, stating it was “so much cleaner, and prettier aesthetically — its architecture, its food, its service — than any city in the United States.” He even noted his surprise about the efficiency and cleanliness of the Moscow subway system.
These observations by Carlson present a contrasting view of Russia compared to what is often portrayed in Western media. While this does not negate the political differences and ongoing tensions between Russia and Western countries, it offers a fresh perspective on the living conditions in Russia’s capital.
However, it’s important to note that these observations are based on one individual’s experiences and may not represent the overall economic situation in Russia. The impact of sanctions often takes time to manifest and may not be immediately visible, especially in consumer-facing sectors like retail.

This airline policy and the entire Biden Administration’s policy on allowing illegals into our country is more than infuriating – it is extremely dangerous. Nancy P.S. I refuse to refer to these illegals ” migrants”
Dems letting migrants fly without ID are playing Russian roulette with our safety
By Betsy McCaughey, the former Lieutenant Governor of New York January 23, 2024
If you’re rushing to the airport and forget your photo ID, good luck being allowed on the plane.
But many migrants without “an acceptable form of identification,” according to airport signs, don’t need a photo.
They get special treatment.
Migrants who have entered the country using President Biden’s new CBP (Customs and Border Protection) One app — at least 422,000 — can fly domestically without photo ID.
A sign posted in Miami International Airport tells migrants, “1. Notify the TSA officer that you are a migrant. 2. The TSA officer will take a photo (optional). 3. If requested, provide your alien identification number or biographic information.”
Taking a photo would allow the Transportation Security Administration officer to confirm the person boarding matches the person pictured in the CBP app.
But the airport sign repeats, “Photo capture is voluntary.”
The migrant trying to board could be anybody.

Billions spent on helping the illegals flooding into our country while our veterans and many other citizens of this country are homeless and sleeping on the streets. Nancy
An all-time high in illegal entrants at the border creates all-time surge in taxpayer costs.

Congressional budget justification FY2022 and FY2023 (numbers in the thousands) for Refugee and Entrant Assistance, The Administration of Children and Families (ACF).
The U.S. border patrol made 2.5 million migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2023, an all-time high.
There seems to be no end in sight, or meaningful plan from the Biden administration to stop or slow the number of people coming over the border. Meanwhile, federal funds flowing to migrants are growing at an exponential rate.
Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com looked at just one federal office to get an idea of how much spending is going towards accommodating, transporting, and providing migrants with various other services.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), a part of Health and Human Services, is a major vehicle for migrant-related spending. Congress appropriated $20 billion in just two years on “refugee and entrant assistance.”

Not one more dime should go to fund the World Economic Forum ! Nancy
House Republicans Introduce Bill to Withdraw Funding from Globalist’s World Economic Forum
A group of House Republicans has taken a firm stance against the World Economic Forum (WEF) by introducing a new piece of legislation aimed at cutting off all federal funding to the globalist organization, The Daily Caller reported.
The bill known as the Defund Davos Act was spearheaded by Representative Scott Perry (R-PA), and joined by Representatives Tom Tiffany (WI-07), Paul Gosar (AZ-09), Diana Harshbarger (TN-01), Andy Ogles (TN-05), and Matt Rosendale (MT-02)
The Defund Davos Act seeks to prevent the State Department, USAID, and other federal agencies from funneling money into the WEF.
The proposed bill states, “No funds available to the Department of State, the United States Agency for International Development, or any other department or agency may be used to provide funding for the World Economic Forum.”

“Creative destruction,” the term coined by Joseph Schumpeter to describe the power of capitalism to create something greater from the destruction of something lesser, is an optimistic forecast of the outcome of Monday’s vote in the Iowa Caucuses.
Former President Donald Trump resoundingly won the contest, setting himself up for a triumphant return as the GOP nominee who will confront whomever the Democrats nominate this year, whether it is an ailing and unpopular President Joe Biden or a late-game substitute.
Within the Republican contest, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, whom I favored, couldn’t overcome the wellspring of support for Trump that came from unfair, undemocratic prosecutions by the Biden administration and local hick prosecutors in New York City and Atlanta. Those prosecutors and officials in Colorado, Maine and elsewhere who have sought illegally and outrageously to deny voters the option of voting for Trump—supposedly in the name of democracy—helped propel his ascent.
Trump still faces former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, but the former president seems likely to prevail. Haley is a happy warrior like Trump, but will be cast as a globalist, neoconservative, establishment Republican for the simple reason that she is one. Few on the Right beyond the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Chamber of Commerce long for uncontrolled immigration, exporting manufacturing to Asia, or funding the defense of wealthy European moochers.
But Iowa was about more than the prosecutions. Trump is right on policy and right on the image of America, which appealed to Iowa voters. They want the Three Fat Years of economic growth that Trump and his economic team achieved before China inflicted the COVID-19 pandemic on the world. Through those years, Trump had ended the decade of economic malaise that created the populist wave that brought him to power. He made everyone willing to work hard better off—especially minorities.

Another excellent article by Sam Faddis a retired CIA operations specialist who spent the majority of his career in the Middle East. Nancy
Joe Broke The Planet – You Pay The Price
By Sam Faddis January 9, 2024
Ever since Joe Biden sat down in the White House a great many people, myself included, have been talking about the possible dire consequences down the road of a Biden Presidency. Putting a mentally incompetent Chinese puppet in the Oval Office seemed calculated to turn out badly. “Eventually, we will pay the price” has been the standard refrain.
“Eventually” is today.
The Iranians, via their Houthi surrogates, have closed the Red Sea. Ninety-five percent of the commercial shipping that would have normally transited the Red Sea and the Suez Canal is now taking the long way around Africa instead. Shipping costs have skyrocketed by 60% already. Insurance costs are up 20%.
You will pay the price for that at the pump, the grocery store, and in all your purchases. Orders of merchandise will be delayed by weeks in delivery.
The U.S. Navy is conducting a pointless and toothless exercise called Operation Prosperity Guardian. It accomplishes nothing. We shoot down cheap throwaway drones that cost less than $2000 and junk missiles with 2 million dollar interceptors. The Houthi missile batteries on shore remain untouched and intact.
Our forces across the Middle East are under almost continuous attack by other Iranian surrogates. Every once in a great while we strike a target of no real significance. Mostly, we pretend like it is not happening. We are at war. We are under continuous assault. We take no meaningful action to defend ourselves.
The Communist Chinese are ramping up for action against Taiwan. At least twenty Chinese spy balloons have passed over Taiwan in the last week. The CCP just launched a “satellite” directly over Taiwan. That launch was initially mistaken for a missile attack on the island. Chinese officials are making almost continuous statements regarding the inevitability of “reunification” between the mainland and Taipei.

Green Energy Waste Overlooked In Climate Agenda
The amount of waste piling up from solar panels and wind turbine blades can be measured in tons. And the industry is just getting started.
Almost all spent solar panels in the United States end up in landfills, and many first- and second-generation panels are already tapping out, well ahead of their anticipated 30-year lifespan.
Added to that will be an estimated 9.8 million metric tons of dead panels to deal with between 2030 and 2060, according to a study published in Science Direct.
Tossing a solar panel into a U.S. landfill currently costs about $1, maybe $2. To recycle that same panel, the cost balloons to $20 to $30, according to an estimate reported by PV Magazine.
Wind turbine parts present a similar challenge, with thousands of blades having already found their way into dumps and fields in Texas, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Iowa.
It’s no small feat to dump a blade. The length of a single wind turbine blade can be more than 200 feet or longer than the wingspan of a Boeing 747, according to the Department of Energy. Offshore wind rigs are even larger.
