D.C.’s Legends Of Tomorrow Decides To Add Muslim Superhero, Who’s Original Codename Was Isis

By William Teach August 4, 2017 – 4:59 pm

Apparently, The CW has decided it wants to drastically shrink the pool of people who’ll watch the show, and, really, the network

(Variety) “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” is adding a major character to its third season.

Tala Ashe is joining the CW show as a series regular, Variety has learned. The actress will take on the role of Zari Adrianna Tomaz, a new member of the team aboard the Waverider.

The character Zari Adrianna Tomaz is a Muslim-American woman from the year 2030 who lives in a world of contradictions — technology has brought about incredible change in her future, but too bad human nature hasn’t kept pace. Fear, prejudice and a lack of care for the planet have forced Zari to become a “grey hat hacktivist.” Described as a computer nerd with a wry, combative attitude, she is a woman living a double life who doesn’t realize that she has secret, latent powers derived from an ancient, mystical source.

A follow up article from Variety really ramps up the social justice warrioring and virtue signaling, but, here’s where it gets really fun.

In the comics, Adrianna Tomaz was a citizen of the fictional nation of Kahndaq who fights against its corrupt government, specifically against the country’s leader Black Adam. Eventually she becomes the hero named Isis.

Think they’ll keep that superhero name?

As for that follow up acticle

Adding a Muslim character in the midst of the current political climate was no coincidence.

“You might have heard there was this election,” cracked executive producer Marc Guggenheim on Wednesday at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills. “Not to get political, but something that we all gravitated toward in the writers room was making this character Muslim.”

One has to wonder, though, if this is more about patronizing the people who tend to watch the show in order to make money than any sort of SJW garbage.

Doom: ‘Climate Change’ To Destroy Your Popcorn Habit

By William Teach August 4, 2017 – 12:34 pm

Despite there being continuous record crops for corn (and we won’t mention how so much of that food is wasted by turning it into low-powered, almost worthless fuel), doom is coming

Climate Change Will Destroy Your Popcorn Habit

If you were planning on munching on popcorn while the world burns around you, archaeologists have some bad news.

A new study, published Thursday in the journal Science, indicates that unless we act, and act fast, climate change could threaten everybody’s favorite meme-able snack: popcorn.

The new research, which looks at the evolution of maize in the United States over thousands of years, indicates that the corn’s adaptation to new climates was a slow process. And even with modern technology, it seems helping corn adapt to our rapidly changing world won’t be easy.

Corn has been around for 10,000 or more years, has survived multiple warm periods throughout the Holocene, but, now it’s doomed? These people are nuts.

America’s Pre-schools Aren’t Gay Enough Or Something

By William Teach August 4, 2017 – 7:00 am

This is the kind of thing people worry about when they have too much time on their hands, have a good place to live, good and plentiful food to eat, and good safety, along with people around them who not only do not tell them “you should keep some thoughts to yourself” because those thoughts are unhinged, but push them to let those thoughts out

America’s Preschools Aren’t Gay Enough, Taxpayer-Funded University Of Michigan Sociologist Warns

A sociology instructor at the taxpayer-funded University of Michigan has published an academic journal article exposing America’s preschool classrooms as hotbeds of “heteronormative play” where “traditional fairy tales” persist and “heterosexuality is always assumed, expected, ordinary, and privileged.”

The University of Michigan instructor behind the exposé of sexuality in preschool life is Heidi M. Gansen, according to Campus Reform.

Sociology of Education, a quarterly journal, published the July 14 article entitled “Reproducing (and Disrupting) Heteronormativity: Gendered Sexual Socialization in Preschool Classrooms.”

To conduct her research, Gansen observed unsuspecting little kids in nine preschool classrooms in Michigan for almost a year.

She found that “heteronormativity” is rampant in the preschool classrooms. In laymen’s terms, the word “heteronormative” means that people aren’t gay and don’t cross-dress.

That’s because they’re just young kids, who aren’t worried about the same things that a “qualitative sociologist who studies sociology of education, social inequality, gender and sexuality, and childhood” does. Things like naps, play time, painting all over everything, jumping in puddles, and snack time are more important.

Preschools promote “practices that facilitate heteronormativity in classrooms” and the “reproduction of inequalities pertaining to gender and sexuality,” Gansen writes.

Heterosexual behavior is “produced” and “enforced” by teachers and — somehow — by little preschool kids, the taxpayer-funded sociologist explains. (snip)

Gansen helpfully suggests that America’s preschool teachers need to start disrupting all this “heteronormative” behavior. They need to start telling little preschool kids how great gay marriage is, she write, according to Campus Reform.

Without such active disruption, Gansen warns, “heteronormativity” is “already ingrained in children by ages 3 to 5.”

In other words, she’s upset that teachers aren’t pushing deviancy, and the kids aren’t being gay and crossdressers.

Good News: L.A. County Paid Out $1.3 Billion In Welfare To Illegal Aliens

By William Teach August 4, 2017 – 6:37 am

Remember this?

To the editor: Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and County Supervisor Hilda Solis in December announced the creation of a $10-million legal aid fund to “hire lawyers to defend local immigrants without legal status.” (“A $10-million fund will help immigrants fight deportations. But should it help those with violent criminal convictions?” April 17)

My street hasn’t been swept for years. When I tried to find out why, I was told that my area is not “on the list” because there are no longer enough machines and people to drive them. Services that I continue to pay for have been stopped.

If there is enough money around to help illegal immigrants, surely there is enough to begin sweeping my dirty street again. Shouldn’t citizens come before illegal residents?

Well, sorry, Arline George, that money is going somewhere else

(Fox News) Illegal immigrant families received nearly $1.3 billion in Los Angeles County welfare money during 2015 and 2016, nearly one-​quarter of the amount spent on the county’s entire needy population, according to data obtained by Fox News.

The data was obtained from the county Department of Public Social Services — which is responsible for doling out the benefits — and gives a snapshot of the financial costs associated with sanctuary and related policies.

The sanctuary county of Los Angeles is an illegal immigration epicenter, with the largest concentration of any county ​in the nation, according to a study from the Migration Policy Institute. ​The county also allows illegal immigrant parents with children born in the United States to seek welfare and food stamp benefits.

On the bright side, it’s expected that the Los Angeles County will spend $200 million less in 2017, as fewer illegal aliens arrive and more have left, mostly due to allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to do their job, to enforce the laws that are on the books, unfettered by politicians and political appointees.

We keep being told that illegal aliens are a boon for our economy. Well, the illegals are getting $3 in benefits for every $1 they spend. It sure seems that they are more of a drain on taxpayer money that giving more back.

Cult Of Climastrology Decides To Tackle The Evilness Of Cats And Dogs

By William Teach August 3, 2017 – 3:15 pm

This isn’t actually new, Warmists have long had a bug up their bums when it comes to pets, but, like any good Warmist meme, they circle back around to it now and then

(Daily Caller) Pet dogs and cats are only making global warming worse, according to a University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) study.

The study claims the meat-based diet of many dogs and cats requires more meat than the average human diet, meaning the existence of pets is making global warming worse.

“I do think we should consider all the impacts that pets have so we can have an honest conversation about them,” Gregory Okin, a UCLA geography professor involved in the research, said in a press statement. “Pets have many benefits, but also a huge environmental impact.”

How does one have an “honest conversation” with complete nutballs, who also have problems with children, referring to them as “little carbon footprints”, much less the fact that the same people massage, spin, fake, and manufacture data?

Okin claims that dogs and cats eat a lot of meat, which releases the equivalent of about 64 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually. He says that getting rid of dogs and cats would be the environmental equivalent of removing 13.6 million cars from the road. Dogs and cats are especially environmentally unfriendly compared to other vegetarian pets.

Yeah, he is actually recommending doing away with all cats and dogs as pets. Totally nutballs.

Climate Change Wackos Ask British Royals To Stop Having Kids

By William Teach August 3, 2017 – 10:30 am

These people are simply demented, and constantly in everyone else’s business

(The Blaze) An environmental group wrote an open letter to Britain’s royal family last week demanding that they stop having kids.

During a recent visit to Poland by Britain’s Prince William and his wife, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, the mother of two joked about having more children.

Presented with the gift of a baby’s toy during the visit, the duchess said to her husband, “We will just have to have more babies,” according to the Telegraph.

An environmental group responded to her comment and urged the couple not to have more children.

In an open letter to William and Kate, the San Francisco-based organization Having Kids — which promotes smaller families as the solution to climate change — wrote, “We read with interest your statements about having more children.”

“We wanted to offer a few thoughts for your consideration,” the group continued. “As you know and appreciate, the example the British Royal Family sets is extremely influential. Many studies also show that public figures serve as effective role models when it comes to family planning. Your discussion of having a larger family raises compelling issues of sustainability and equity.”

Interestingly, this same group hasn’t gone after people like Al Gore and other ‘climate change’ believers who have large families. Regardless, they’re all a bunch of wackjobs. Ones who get taken seriously by the Credentialed Media.

ACLU Sues Over Governors Blocking People On Social Media

By William Teach August 3, 2017 – 8:35 am

It’s come to this. The Governors of Maryland and Kentucky blocked some people on social media, those people freaked out, and the ACLU has sued (via Hot Air)

(The Hill) The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed lawsuits against the governors of Maryland and Kentucky, claiming they violated constituents’ First Amendment rights by blocking individuals from official social media accounts.

The organization’s Kentucky branch filed a lawsuit Monday on behalf of several constituents, while its Maryland branch filed suit on Tuesday. Both suits ask for injunctions to stop Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) from blocking constituents on social media accounts.

“The highest purpose of the First Amendment is to protect the right of Americans to engage in political speech and to petition the government to address their concerns,” Deborah Jeon, who serves as the ACLU of Maryland’s legal director, said in a statement.

“As the Supreme Court ruled in June, and a federal judge in Virginia echoed just last week, social media has become a vital means for constituents to communicate with their elected officials. It violates both the First Amendment and Maryland’s own social media guidelines for government officials to block out any voices of dissent or those simply raising questions about positions taken by public officials sworn to serve.”

A spokesperson for Hogan’s office dismissed the lawsuit as “frivolous” and “a waste of taxpayer dollars.”

It’s not quite as frivolous as it seems, but, not over free speech, but as “redress of grievance.” However

“The governor’s office has a very clear social media policy, and we will continue to remove all hateful and violent content and coordinated spam attacks to foster an open and constructive dialogue,” said deputy communications director Amelia Chassé in a statement.

Does the governor’s office have the right to remove those types of comments? Redress of grievance has the qualifier “peaceably” attached. What if the comments are anything but? You do not have to put up with that in your own feeds: does the government have to put up with it? Good question.

Here’s another question:

https://twitter.com/WilliamTeach/status/892937000340336640

Keith Ellison, federally elected Democrat for the 5th District of Minnesota and the deputy chair of the DNC, loves to block people. I did not use threatening, mean, or vulgar language. If you’ve seen me on Twitter, I tend to be very polite (I have a “kill them with kindness” policy). He’s blocked lots and lots of people. Will the ACLU sue? Or is there a double standard?

Latest Sob Story: Brothers Deported For Telling ICE One Was Going To College

By William Teach August 3, 2017 – 8:14 am

Violating federal laws by coming to the United States illegally has consequences, much like trespassing does

He went to ICE to tell agents he had gotten into college. Now he and his brother have been deported.

Two brothers from Gaithersburg were deported to their native El Salvador on Wednesday in what their attorney says was the fastest deportation process he has ever seen.

Lizandro Claros Saravia, 19, is a standout soccer player who had secured a scholarship to play college soccer in North Carolina. His brother, Diego, 22, took extra classes to graduate from Quince Orchard High School on time and “has a heart of gold,” a former teacher said.

They entered the country illegally in 2009, however, and although they initially won reprieves from deportation, their efforts to renew those stays were repeatedly denied.

The brothers have no criminal records and would not have been a priority for deportation by the Obama administration, said Matthew Bourke, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

What the Washington Post is saying here is that we’re supposed to ignore the fact that they are here unlawfully. I’m betting writer Rachel Chason wouldn’t be so cavalier about people sneaking into her domicile and deciding to just stay. She would surely call the police and want them removed and prosecuted, even if they had “no criminal records.”

On Friday, the brothers were detained by ICE agents in Baltimore after a regular check-in. Lizandro Claros Saravia told the agents that he was planning to attend college on a scholarship, said Nick Katz, senior manager of legal services at CASA de Maryland, who is representing the pair.

“The ICE agents told me they were deporting the kids because Lizandro got into college, and that showed they intended to stay in the U.S.,” Katz said.

Bourke said that is not how ICE conducts enforcement actions.

“They were issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge in 2012. That’s why they were removed,” Bourke said. The brothers were granted a stay of removal in 2013, but subsequent applications for stays were denied.

So, a lawfully empowered judge ordered them deported, they were granted one stay, and then further stays were denied, and Team Obama violated the ruling by not deported them. Shouldn’t the Obama administrations failure to uphold the law be the story?

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said his office had been working to secure the release of the Claros Saravia brothers and that he was “very upset” to hear about their deportation.

“Shame on President Trump for tearing apart hardworking immigrant families,” he tweeted Wednesday evening. “We should be focused on MS-13, not scholarship winners.”

So, a duly elected federal Senator is taking the side of people who have violated our laws, and was taking a spot at college that could go to a U.S. citizen. Again, I bet he wouldn’t be so cavalier if it was his home that was being invaded. Perhaps he should reconsider his oath to support and defend the Constitution and our laws.

Illegal migrants get deported. That’s true around the world. What is so shocking in the US is that people are shocked that people who are in the US illegally are made to leave.
