Merit vs Diversity
In his column “Destroying Meritocracy Is Deadly” at Townhall, Victor Davis Hanson discusses the decline in the aviation industries, both commercial and military, but his
concerns could as easily be about the medical, educational, agricultural, energy and other professions. VDH concludes:
. . . America's security, safety,
prosperity, and postmodern lifestyles are not our birthright.
They are the dividends of centuries
of prior hard work, unfettered freedom of speech, disinterested research, and a
meritocracy.
Tamper with any of that and the
system begins to fall apart.
The United States will then
resemble the miasma we see in most of the world abroad where ideology
suppresses free inquiry, political correctness warps research, and tribalism
trumps meritocracy.
Many of the major airlines have
established racial and gender quotes for government pilot training programs.
United Airlines has set quotas to ensure half of its trainees will be
minorities or women. Since 2013, the FAA has been lowering standards for air traffic
control qualifications to achieve de
facto race and gender quotas.
In testimony before Congress our
top military brass has bragged not of their reduction in standards for
enlistment, but of their "diversity" hiring, as they purportedly
ferret out "white supremacy" and "white rage."
In sum, our government is playing
with our lives as it prefers diversity, equity, and inclusion over ensuring the
best qualified employees are hired on the basis of racially and gender-blind
competitive tests and experience.
Keep it up, and there are going to
be a lot more Afghanistan-style surrenders, Chinese surveillance craft in our
skies, and airline nightmares.

Another misnomer: “Civics Secures Democracy Act”
John Fonte at American Mind reports on yet more initiatives to erase America’s past history and culture with progressive ideology. Here’s his closing:
Legislation currently before
Congress would implement this woke revolution in history-civics education. It
would implement the teaching of Critical Race Theory and de-legitimize
America’s Founders, our principles, and our stories. The legislation is
the Civics
Secures Democracy Act introduced by Democrat Senator Chris Coons of
Delaware and Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas.
The bill provides six billion
dollars over six years in competitive grants to states, local school districts;
nonprofits; and to university schools of education for teacher training. It
requires a national test on history-civic knowledge that would be developed by
educators chosen by the Biden Administration.
. . .
Across our nation, in promoting
civic education, many in the Republican and conservative establishment seek
“consensus” and “common ground” with the woke progressives. But what common
ground is there with those who defame the founders as “enslavers”; portray
America’s story as one of “systemic racism”; and reject the principle of human
equality exemplified in the Declaration of Independence in favor of “equity” as
manifested in the ubiquitous dogma of DEI?
Instead of playing a subordinate
role in phony “consensus” projects dominated overwhelmingly by the progressive
Left, conservatives should develop solid, accurate, patriotic curricular
materials as a distinct alternative to the progressive narrative.
This is already happening with Governor DeSantis’s reforms in Florida and the
work of National Association of Scholars.
At the end of the day, we
must realize that this is not a simply an academic argument, or merely a policy
dispute over history and civics education, but a life and death regime struggle
over the American Way of Life.
Read the entire column here. This legislation, the Civics Secures Democracy Act, may be
vulnerable to phone calls to Congress from outraged voters. Go here to find your representative and here for
your Senators.

Compilation Video: Flip-Flopping Fauci
JD Rucker as FreedomFirstNewtwork posted a 2-minute video that expose Dr Fauci for the fraud that he is:
There is no greater flip-flopper in
the world than Anthony Fauci. It’s not just that he’s able to change his
perspectives back and forth at will; there are plenty of politicians and
bureaucrats who do that well. But Fauci takes it up several notches by not only
justifying it inexplicably by claiming to hold to “science,” but also by
somehow keeping a straight face every time he debunks himself, which is quite
often.
A video posted to Twitter shows a
compilation of Fauci vs Fauci incidents. Since it’s on Twitter it’s limited to
just over two minutes long of Fauci’s greatest flip-flopping hits, but one
could easily compile hours of footage where the medical tyrant backtracks,
retracks, and takes his own narratives completely off the rails.
The worst part about all this isn’t
that Fauci is driven by agenda, though that’s bad enough. The worst part is
that millions of brainwashed Americans still believe this guy is credible. This
is due in large part by the Biden-Harris regime’s unwillingness to call him out
as well as mainstream media incessantly propping him up, but here’s the thing.
Americans have a responsibility to educate themselves. The information is
readily available. There is an overabundance of evidence that Fauci is an evil,
narcissistic, totalitarian pawn of the architects of The Great Reset. Those who
don’t realize this are delusional.
The science doesn’t “evolve” as
Fauci often says. The narrative surrounding the science evolves. Nothing in the
science has changed about face masks since the initial studies released last
year showed they don’t stop Covid-19 and can be detrimental to those who wear
them for any extended period of time. The only things that keep changing are
the short-term goals of Fauci’s puppetmasters, and they use him to play the
public like little children fawning over a birthday party magician.

And it includes the video (approx. 2 minutes); I have been unable to locate it elsewhere online; it may already
have been cancelled.

Yes, It Was A Stolen Election
“It’s Not Over” Cartoon by AF Branco at Townhall
If any of your family or friends are skeptical about election fraud reports, here’s a handy summary of some of the more obvious instances of voter fraud (by John Perazzo at FrontPage):
What follows is a compilation of vital facts that will demonstrate, to anyone interested in following the truth wherever it may lead, that the 2020 presidential election was indeed rife with fraud, and that Joe Biden, if he should in fact be sworn into office next month, will be an illegitimate president from the very start.
The report contains lots of chapter-and-verse and data -- including 93 footnotes with links to sources, should you care to check any stats. Full report is here.
