HAVING RECENTLY DEALT WITH — IN A NON POLITICAL SITUATION — SOMEONE WHO WAS RUNNING A HEAD SCRIPT: Head Script.
The experience was amazing. He just couldn’t accept his cunning plan wasn’t working. It made the political instances of this even clearer.
CLEARLY A VICTIM OF WHITE SUPREMACY: Video resurfaces of new Biden US attorney berating news crew.
IS “L-E-M-O-N” THE FRENCH SPELLING FOR LICKSPITTLE? Don Lemon praises gas prices after Biden admin asks media for ‘favorable’ coverage.
Bless his heart.

WELL, THE MEDIA SEEMS TO BE: Mockery Ensues After USA Today Publishes Ludicrous Article Asking ‘Is Math Racist?’
AS I SAID: CPI Report: Inflation Rises 6.8% in the Last Year, Highest in 39 Years.
Another way Socialism causes death? Poverty.
MARXISM CAUSES DEATH, EITHER FAST OR SLOW: Homicides in 12 Democrat-Run Cities Hit an All-Time High in 2021.
Either violent or of despair.
OH, SURE. AND COVID IS WHAT IS CAUSING ALL THE STILLBIRTHS: UK: Surge in Heart Problems Blamed on ‘Post Pandemic Stress Disorder’.
I’ve even heard that cold weather causes clots. Because of course it does. Look, this stuff down my back is yellow and smells.
I repeat: do you trust the Federal government that much that you’re willing to do this considering how desperate they are to get this stuff in your personal veins that you’re actually using at this moment? Because I’m not. I will have the vaccine when I’m allowed to inject vinaigrette salad dressing into the veins of any members of the Junta it pleases me. Until they take that offer, no sale.
ABOUT TIME: Senate Vote Blocks Biden Vaccine Mandate For Private Companies.
I don’t care how much the vaccine companies are paying Biden. There must be someone with vestigial sanity in the Junta.
AS I POINTED OUT BEFORE IN REFERENCE TO ALL OF THESE “COVID MEASURES”: If any of them were effective, we’d see a huge, disparate impact between states, because even in the mid 2020, these were applied in wildly different ways across the country, as we found out. And yet, the results are more or less the same everywhere. Worse, in this case, the bad effects of infection are almost non-existent in normal, healthy children anyway. And they rarely transmit the disease. We know this. And yet the torture of the innocent continues. No, Our Kids Are Not As Resilient As The Experts Said They’d Be.
How long will you tolerate this?
I JUST HOPE HE DOESN’T BEAT HIMSELF UP OVER THIS: Jussie Smollett Verdict: Guilty On Five Charges.
Because frankly once was enough. OTOH maybe this time his imaginary attackers will scream Let’s Go Brandon. That would be hilarious. Hey! Are there any comedy prizes we can give Jussie? No? Come on!
BLM STANDS FOR THE IDIOTS, THE FARCICALLY INEPT, THE DRUG ADDICTED AND THE CRIMINALS: What Black Lives Matter has to say about the Smollet case.
Do black people really want to identify themselves with the kind of idiots, losers and evil b*stards that BLM represents? What kind of image is that?
REUTERS HAS NEVER BEEN TRUTHFUL, BUT IT’S GOTTEN WORSE LATELY: Reuters Feeds Racial Tensions With Outright Lies.
OF COURSE THEY’RE TOLERANT. YOU’RE JUST THE DEBIL! From The “Democrats Are Tolerant” Files…
You can’t really expect them to have sympathy tolerance for the devil, can you? After all, they’re democrats of wealth and taste.
THEIR SIDE IS ALL ASTROTURF: Real Grassroots Action.
And they really can’t understand the amount of free circulating rage in the average American right now. Their continuous claims of how much better they’re making our lives would be hilarious if they weren’t so rage-inducing.
LIFE IN THE BLUE ZONES: When the Crime Wave Hits Your Family: Our nanny’s living room in Oakland was sprayed with bullets. It didn’t even make the local news. The press has been told to downplay these stories because they don’t fit the narrative.
But as the crime wave affects people with nannies, it’s likely to start to be noticed anyway: “And progressives—I count myself as one of them—do ruin cities. Or, at least, they put in place policies that cause profound harm to the people living in them. An obvious case-in-point is the call to defund the police. It’s a slogan that fits nicely on a bumper sticker, but what are its consequences in practice?”
Consequences? Blue cities are getting them good and hard. Mostly for poor and working-class people, but as they work their way up the income distribution, I expect a phase change in chattering-class attitudes.
OPEN THREAD: Another head aches, another heart breaks. Last call for sin.
SPACE: Blue Origin targeting early Saturday morning (Dec. 11) for launch of GMA host Michael Strahan, 5 others. This is actually kind of brave, prior flights by William Shatner and Jeff Bezos notwithstanding.
For the last decade and a half or so of DivThu we’ve often discussed the “Diversity Industry” and tried to describe to those who have yet to encounter it, just how large of an industry it is.
Instead of working towards a society that looks past the useless characteristics of race, creed, sex, color or national origin – they work towards division, promote segregation and unequal treatment … on your dime.
Sadly, the commissariat has only gotten larger as they have refined their business model of insertion and growth through threats, etho-masochism, well-meaning useful idiocy, leveraging institutional cowardice, and naked careerism to expand their empire.
Few can or will say no to them, as their track record on cancelling and dissociating those who they consider heretics from their religion and gravy train is impressive.
Thanks to Professor Mark Perry, we have a little snapshot of just one little tributary to their empire – The Ohio State University.
Enjoy it Ohio taxpayers, Ohio State alumni, parents, and students – you’re paying for it. . . .
Think of the opportunity cost. How many tutors and half-ride scholarships for low income students would $13.4 million dollars cover. Well, we know that is 1,120 full ride scholarships … imagine 2,000 half-ride and 220 full time tutors in math and science to help those from low performing high schools excel in the fields that our 21st Century economy needs.
Imagine.
If nothing, you have to respect the hustle.
The “diversity” apparat isn’t about helping students. It isn’t even about diversity.

HMM: China’s New Hypersonic Aircraft Is Based on a Rejected NASA Design.
The U.S. and China are in the midst of a space and aviation race. . . .
China’s space agency recently announced that it is building a fission reactor for the Moon that will reportedly be 100 times more powerful than one in development by NASA. China’s government also announced earlier this year that it will collaborate with Russia on a lunar space station, which will directly rival NASA’s lunar Gateway program. In October, China also launched a hypersonic missile with “an advanced space capability” that took U.S. officials by surprise.

WHY IS HIGHER EDUCATION SUCH A CESSPIT OF EXPLOITATION AND ABUSE? Can A Student Sue His Law School For $750,000 When It Profits Off His Name, Image, And Likeness?
In an expansive sea of expensive sameness, Ryerson was going to be the law school of the people, committed to social justice and making a difference while training a different type of lawyer.
According to the Toronto Star [He Was the Poster Child for Toronto’s Newest Law School. He’s Now Filing a $750,000 Human Rights Complaint Against It.], Ryerson may have fallen well short of their lofty goals and become yet another law school accessible to only some people. Ish Aderonmu, who says he is struggling to pay rent let alone pay tuition, and that he is facing racial discrimination at Ryerson via a program that is inaccessible to a poor Black man. …
In his interview with The Star, Aderonmu said that the law school benefited from publicity around a Black man who had life experience with the justice system coming to the university. Before law school, Aderonmu was convicted of felony charges for a drug offense (cannabis) in Philadelphia. He was released from prison when he voluntarily agreed to return to Canada. …
In quite an irony here, Ryerson has since named their law school the Lincoln Alexander School of Law, after a famous Black lawyer who served as Lieutenant Governor. That the university would essentially use Aderonmu’s name, image, and likeness as a poster child without any compensation is shameful In Ryerson’s context. Ryerson, of course, denies all of Aderonmu’s allegations. …
What makes this an exceptional case is that Ryerson built a law school on Aderonmu’s back. He was not only their PR, media, and social media superstar, he was, in startup terms (which Ryerson’s law school was) the persona. He was the difference-maker, the exact student archetype that would allow Ryerson’s law school to survive. Ish Aderonmu as Ryerson Law’s competitive and comparative advantage is going to play very well in the media and perhaps in court.
To be fair, “social justice” is all about exploitation. If you’re not one of the exploiters, then odds are you’re going to be one of the exploited.
GOOD: No Qualified Immunity as to Alleged Deliberate Omission of Key Facts from Arrest Warrant.
UPDATE: On the other hand, Bill Barr Gets Away With Busting Heads in Lafayette Square Because He’s a Fed: “In lower courts’ view, [a] federal badge now equals absolute immunity.” “Judge Dabney Friedrich of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia did not dismiss the case because of the OIG report, but rather because her reading of the precedents cited by the plaintiffs led her to grant the federal actors official immunity. . . . In other words, if the judiciary pinpoints any highly subjective measure that differentiates a case from those already on the books, then the ruling judge can use his or her discretion in shielding a federal official from accountability. It is essentially a federal and even more rigorous version of qualified immunity, the legal construct which allows state and local government actors to violate your rights unless the exact way they misbehaved has been outlined and published in a previous court precedent.”
This is a judge-created doctrine with no basis in the Constitution. The Framers would have been appalled.
