BAFFLING: Two of the state advisory committees to the Commission on Civil Rights have recently issued reports arguing that the special “sub-minimum” wage for workers with Down Syndrome and other developmental disabilities should be abolished. Maybe I’m getting a touch of paranoia in my old age, but I can’t help but wonder who is funding all the interest by disability advocates in this idea. It’s very fashionable right now.  But it would obviously throw many of these workers out of their jobs. Is this something the SEIU is pushing? Are they hoping their low-skilled members will get the jobs instead?

One of the advocates I once spoke to in 2020 admitted that many Down Syndrome workers will end up jobless if the sub-minimum wage is abolished. Her attitude was that the state can come up with other ways to keep Down Syndrome individuals off the streets. They don’t need jobs.

The Commission itself issued a report on this issue in 2020. I dissented and pointed out that the parents and family caretakers of Down Syndrome workers overwhelming urged the Commission to support the continuation of the sub-minimum wage. That should count for something.

THE CORBYNIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONTINUES APACE: BLM Assassin and Black Supremacist/Anti-Semite Bailed Out By BLM… With a Little Help from You-Know-Who…

The very same media which tells me that it is desperately afraid of a new pogrom whenever there’s a pro-Democrat storyline in an antisemitic attack sure seems to get very, very quiet about the great majority of antisemitic attacks in the US.

Is it not Time for a National Discussion on Antisemitism?

Why not?

Does only Fake Jake Tapper know when it’s the proper Time for a National Discussion About Antisemitism? Does he feel it aching in his bones, like some people can feel the rain coming?

It’s almost as if they don’t care at all about Jews being beaten or killed — they only care about political propaganda for their beloved Democrat Socialist Party.

On to the Disappeared Man, on to Mr. Yesterday’s News, on to Local Crime Story No. 33,247, Qunitez Brown:

You know how the media is always accusing people of being anti-Semites? Except the actual anti-Semites, who are the media’s political allies?

Well you’ll just never guess what group Quintez Brown was obsessed with.

Anything that threatens to remove power from a leftist is terrorism in their minds. Because they’re a crazed cult who believe it’s foreordained that they win. In their indoctrinated minds, there can be no dissent from this. Why, Marx foretold it.
