RSSI don’t think that it’s anything other than a desire to use small words so the minority is more likely to understand what whitey is talking about. It’s all about wanting to be understood and has little to nothing to do with trying to get down to the minority’s intellectual level to make them feel less inferior.
A lot of jawing over something which is very ‘black and white’. The law couldn’t be more clear. And a publicly funded university like UC has to be much more transparent about their admissions data than Harvard does. If the UC is caught intentionally violating a very clear law it won’t go well for a number of people in high places in California.
You apparently specialize in spewing fact-free gibberish. Got any other millennial nonsense you wish to share?
Public universities are not ‘controlled by’ the voters (i.e., the UC is “controlled” by a committee called the Regents), but definitely funded by the voters, and built by the voters. An even greater point of distinction. De facto Affirmative Action (aka ‘reverse discrimination’) WILL be rooted out here in California, again, once it’s exposed thanks to this lawsuit.

Meanwhile, ranks of independent voters (decline to state party preference) swell mostly parasitizing the Democrats numbers as actual progressives leave the party in droves. What constituted 43% of the electorate in January 2015 is probably now around 50% of the entire electorate if not more. Loyal Democrats are definitely NOT going to dictate the results of 2020.
I agree with your assumptions re: the power of identity politics, but disagree with your conclusions as they might pertain to the general election. The independent vote (which identifies most closely with traditional American values) is the largest voting block in America by a wide margin. That doesn’t bode well for an unreformed Democratic Party known for disenfranchising actual progressives and being ‘in the bag’ for Wall Street. Populism is being wildly underestimated by both parties (which is strange considering events in Europe), but my guess is ignoring or underestimating it’s effect will injure Democrats more than Trump in 2020.

Well, the Brits are busy deploying units in Norway to roll back the Russian juggernaut as well as planning Forward Operating Bases in far east Asia to check the expansion.

You must consider the location. 1) San Francisco is culturally somewhere other than ‘Northern California’. 2) It’s it’s own small nation of smug castaways from other places in the country and ‘twenty-something’ apolitical FANG company millionaires who drive Teslas and Audies. It’s the land of broken toys. Nobody with any political awareness lives there or comes from there. It’s all a big ‘anything goes’ human stew that frequently smells like human shit. And there is no political courage because it’s all such a closed little culture that everybody who lives there knows they’ll be shunned by their associates and friends, have property vandalized and probably lose their job(s) if they stray from the ‘everything white or straight is wrong’ lesbian/antifa crowd’s mantra.

No fan of Trump, but you’re wrong. California doesn’t like her (as evidenced by the last poll). No national independents would vote for her. Assuming Democrats constitute 30% of the real electorate (likely to vote), Harris only gets 20% since few center-left or leftist Democrats would vote for her. Trump has his core voting block of 20-25% of the electorate and you know he’d probably pick up at least 20% of the independent vote (should a corporate Democrat/hand-picked Hillary candidate get the nomination), and Trump wins. But Harris getting the nomination is extremely unlikely as it stands.

Michael Hudson: I don’t think he understands. I think he has an oversimplified view of how the world works. He thinks that if we devalue the dollar, we can undersell China and Europe. But you can only undersell them if you have car-making factories available. If you don’t have a factory, you’re not going to be able to undersell foreign carmakers no matter how low the dollar goes. And if you don’t have a set of computer manufacturing factories and local suppliers already in the United States, you’re not going to have production capacity able to undersell China.
It’s pretty obvious that Trump has the attention span of a gnat. And, that his advisors are cowards and sycophants. So what about Trump’s short-term play to devalue the dollar do you find surprising?
It’s difficult to know where and how far the Democrats’ mania to ‘get Trump’ will go from here. And to many of them I suspect it’s far from being a ‘puppet show’ despite all objective conclusions to the contrary. They are (mostly) all profound believers in a ‘massive Russian conspiracy’ to successfully distort the 2016 election, which is the only takeaway they got Mueller to enthusiastically admit to yesterday. As you correctly observed, the fact that there has never been any evidence to support that extremely shocking assertion, and the fact that the Republicans never went there yesterday (other than to wave the Fusion GPS truth bomb around lackadaisically) is almost as good as the evidence gets that both parties are in on the production of divisive ‘bread and circuses’ the American serfs love to chew on. Still, I believe the Democrats largely believe their own fabrications (which bodes ill for them next year). Nuts, ain’t it?
I dearly hope Google gets badly burned with this. They need to be ‘tuned up’.
Face it, you’re a pretentious troll who also happens to be a whore.
Neither the Bible, the Torah or the Talmud are historic records recognized by any modern system of laws. So your claims are backed by no credible evidence. Modern Israelis are basically Nazis seizing Jewish property in Poland in the late 30’s and early 40’s under a pretext of laws created by modern Zionist Kangaroo courts enforcing a racist and morally illegitimate legal system.
1) Jews, not unlike Christian WNs use their religion as a ‘closed’ secret society which they use to leverage their various skills and ‘access’ to promote each other for personal gain (unlike Christian WN). Like a endless co-op.
2) Most Jews are raised (hard-wired) to worship money and power.
3) Jews are taught from an early age that they’re ‘exceptional’ and have a right (due to an instilled sense of victimhood) justifying taking what they want when they want it. Otherwise known as ‘entitlement’. This latter characteristic is what makes them toxic citizens of any country they set ‘in their sites’ as a means to their ends.
And there are lots of other notable distinguishing aspects. Mostly stemming from Jewish culture. Notably though, many Jews are very susceptible to hubris and the myopia that comes with it.

The main difference between the US and Russia? Their media reports on screw-ups whereas the US media either doesn’t report at all on it, or takes directions from their CIA handlers on what the ‘official’ narrative will be. Which system do you think is healthier for the people living under them?
What? No comment about actual inflation? And, I’m not talking about the CPI.
I’d suggest that there’s less than zero evidence that our “Boomer President” is ” at odds with most of the corporate world”. Look at his cabinet and regulatory agency appointments, not to mention his flogging of Powell so as to flood the corporations with zero interest money with which to buy back their own stock so their officers and owners can become as wealthy as Croesus, while the dollar devalues (a stated goal of his) to the detriment of the middle class, and hidden inflation continues to keep actual (buying power) middle-class earnings at 1980’s levels. Trump is about nothing if he isn’t about helping American corporations regardless of the costs to the People who are funding them and consuming their products.
‘Russiagate’ is a whole cloth fabrication by the Clinton’s and John Podesta intended mainly to distract the public from 1) Clinton’s failure to beat the most vulnerable presidential candidate in history, 2) to distract the public from the utter failure of the US mainstream media to get anything right about the election, and 3) to harry the guy that beat her at the polling place. In the ‘smoke’ it created, the above-named perps escaped like Saudi nationals beating feet after 9/11 and the ‘Cold War Warriors’ of the left re-discovered an old way to weaponize American propaganda. What’s been lost? Most of America’s confidence in it’s mainstream media, the benefits of detente with Russia (no concerted effort of Russia and China to form a military and trade alliance that will ultimately damage badly any efforts to maintain the dollars as the worlds reserve currency > devaluation of the dollar, and further polarization of the US public along fictional lines created by some political schmucks who never earned an honest dollar in their lives. The whole thing is almost as big a scam as the official 9/11 narrative or the Warren Commission Report.

The evidence-free, unaddressed assumption that Iran was responsible for the refinery attack is classic brainwashing technique 2a. The fact that that same assumption is repeated over and over again throughout this evidence-free, speculation-fest pretending to be a fact-based article makes it that much more obvious that an attempted sleight-of-hand is being practiced here on the readers (the majority of whom are not practiced in the art of careful analysis of what you choose to read and how much credibility do you think it merits, and why).
However, a semi-careful examination of the source of the article provides substantial evidence that this is nothing more than Israeli propaganda.
“Introduction by GA: The following is a translation of today’s Israel’s News 12 headline article. ” tells you all you need to know about the intentions of the author. This is evidence-free Israeli brainwashing intended for an Israeli audience who lack sufficient intelligence or the will to critically-examine the source of the ‘news’ that they consume and the likely motives of the author(s).
I’m not sure what your point it. But if you declare yourself ‘the most Pro-Israeli governor ever’, or as a sitting American Senator proudly describe yourself as ‘Israeli’s protector’ you’re a defacto dual-citizen and can be legitimately targeted based on that admission alone. Don’t know about De Santis, but everybody knows Schumer is a legal dual-citizen.

Not a problem - Israel is going to war with Iran - win or lose - and it is going to fight Iran right down to the last American.Replies: @Kolya Krassotkin, @Gyre07
According to polls, Iran is first among the nations that Americans regard as an enemy. Still, there is no stomach for war with Iran.
You’re nuts. The Israelis entire shtick has been to get the US to fight it’s wars for it, when we’re not paying them bloodmoney to keep them from starting WWIII. Like any smart parasite the Israelis are masters of this process and have all the double-agents (politicians AND lobbyists) they need in Washington. However, as Pat pointed out, there’s a strong anti-Regime Change Wars contingent in the US which is sufficient to prevent any substantial re-engagement in the middle-east and all the politicians know it. In the end, the Israelis will NOT engage a well-armed (conventional weapons) Iran because despite the Lindsey Grahams, Clinton’s, Chuck Schumers and AIPAC, the American people are dead-set against it, and we’re spread too thin elsewhere to actually win (by any plausible metric). No politicians here are willing to risk losing their political support in exchange for fulfilling Israel’s blood-drenched wet-dream of killing Iran.

Brainwashing and ‘white guilt’ are strong in the urban areas of the west coast.

Great article! I believe there are a lot of us in the West who take other people’s misery and our governments complicity/profiteering seriously. We just get zero voice in the government-controlled media meanwhile being monitored in our social media. They want us to believe that we’re all alone here in the West, but we’re not. Not by a long shot. Remember that.

There’s no stopping negro whining. Harden the facilities so that they can’t fare jump and they’ll whine it has a disparate impact on poor people, is racist and something must be done. They’ll call for fare subsidies for negroes so they can ride practically for free at your expense. It’s the same whining they do when they’re arrested and held to account more than anyone else because they’re committing more crimes than anyone else. In their low IQ minds, it ain’t fair.
How I would love it if someone (faced with such incessant and predictable whining) would simply tell them that their race card is revoked and skin color will no longer be accepted as an excuse- and if they don’t like it, they can eat feces and die.

So, BART is scrambling to stanch the problem, using a mix of law enforcement, civilian staff and “station hardening” — tall railings and other barriers that inhibit people from sneaking in.

And for some odd reason, German Shepherds.
It is the same song of disparities sung in every major city about negroes being culprits in most crimes. The same song of racism is then played by the band of restorative justice advocates and the negro activists who will then stick out their paw and ask for more money to ‘fix’ the problem. Until the elected officials and power brokers face the truth and realities of life negroes will continue to be lawless, continue to be violent, continue to abuse the criminal and welfare systems and will continue to be the scourge of civilized society. Laws will be written and passed for whites and all other races that will be different than laws for negroes. Negroes will be exempt from many crimes and will face lesser penalties, planet of the apes is coming.
I agree, when I have to go to NYC for work, I’ll usually walk or take a cab. On the rare occasions I do ride the subway with friends or family, I shake my head thinking about the people who have to cram themselves in those trains every, to and from work,. All while putting up with stinking homeless, panhanders, and the rest of the general miscreants who infest that city, riding the trains because they have nothing else to do.
Jews are saintly philanthropists who have no interests of their own, and especially not vis-à-vis Israel; 2) Israel’s interests are, in any case, identical to those of Britain, America, France, Germany.
Of course that is the case. How dare you imply otherwise?
All you have to do is look at how Israel treats its Arab citizens and neighbors. It is a British gift to the world, at the expense of the indigenous Palestinians, of course, so other nations can follow, emulate, learn and progress.

Larry, You need to get out more. Los Angeles is NOT all of California.
I went to the US bank in ’91 and for the most part, Americans were polite and friendly. It’s sad to see your country destroyed by blacks. While not all blacks are bad, it’s certainly safe to state they’re is a serious hated for white, by blacks. The more I read, the more I realise its just jealousy, not only because white culture and civilisation is far superior to its black alternatives, but almost every black female celebrity is dying her hair blonde, lightening her skin and doing her best to look white, or in the least, less black.
‘Order or of Chaos’ its certainly what’s being commented here. If blacks know that their bad behaviour won’t be punished then it’s only going to continue and worse, escalate. How long before black racists commit murder upon whites within? Common sense will prevail and these schools will become populated only by blacks, with more white flight. If anything this will eventually wake up the brain dead, white left.
Growing up, I was always shocked when I watched American movies about how non white pupils behaved. When I was at school, we behaved. The class was silent from beginning to end.
The conclusion is sadly, blacks are just an incredibly disrespectful species of human being. How anyone thinks this is going to help is beyond me, but then again that’s the whole point, they want things to get much worse.
Anyway with America’s desperate attempt to start a war with Iran, with its latest despicable assassination, I’m sure things are about to change for the worst. Maybe lots of these unruly blacks in California, will be conscripted and thrown into the meat grinder when war begins.
I should also have stated that teachers are not going to want to teach in conditions like this. This will result in people not wanting to go into the teaching profession. What fool is going to go into one of these schools, put themselves in the firing line for black violence upon them, only to either be a victim, or defend themselves to be found guilty of assault and fired?
I remember a friend of mine, a musician, who also worked as a substitute teacher for an agency when I lived in London. He’s white and he’s come back some days, totally stressed out because of black children misbehaving in the inner city schools. He would tell me that there were times when the class would erupt into violence, whet 14 year old black boys would square up to him and they were bigger than him. Absolutely no respect whatsoever. And again, when I think of when I was at school in the 70’s through to the end of the 80’s, we’d have got the belt then and there and when we got home, another belting from the old man.

Though it was about the impeachment infotainment rather than the arcane details of which faction in the Middle East hates which other ones, and who should the US send borrowed money to, the Peak Stupidity post “Back Off!” comes to mind.

Iran’s agenda is simple. The US and NATO should leave Iran the fuck alone, and their allies to the west of them. They haven’t done a single thing aggressive towards the US other than try to help their neighbors oust the illegal American occupiers and their allies. But I do understand that Republican neocons have had it in for Iran ever since they ousted their western puppet (The Shah).
The Moslems have made a mess out of their countries? I’d say you’re engaging in classic misdirection (ala Hillary-style) and blaming them for what the US and NATO continue to do. We’ve staged a coup in Iran, invaded and pretty much destroyed Iraq based on a whole set of American lies, tried to overthrow another elected leader in Syria, etc.. Tell me, what national security interest of America’s are we trying to maintain by tacitly declaring war on countries all over the middle-east?
There are some people who want Tucker to be president. I wouldn’t be opposed but honestly, I think he has more power on his show than he ever would as a politician. Tucker himself has said Trump’s role isn’t so much as an effective politician but as someone who is willing to point out and question things that have been ignored by the elites. Tucker does this without even being in office. It’s become apparent to me that changing things through the political system is currently futile. The public just needs to be made fully aware of what our current system is and things will move on from there.
Correct. America's problems will not be solved through the electoral process...not matter who is President.

I’m against a ground war too, but was hoping for some more, like Tehran getting rocked or something. Shock and Awe was pretty cool. We watched it live in class during high school.

These idiots think racial animus is rampant now, just wait. Can you imagine a tree lined, winding street with five bedroom homes, and a high rise project on the corner. I grew up in a city that was block busted in the 1950’s and 60’s. One white family after another moved out. The city went from all white to 98 % black in fifteen years. If you drive through that city today you would think that you missed the ww11 battle fought on United States land. Social engineering is anathema to civilization.
I live in a neighborhood like that in Colorado. I'm right on the line separating the White area to the North from the Hispanic area to the South. The white area to the north has many ritzy, five-bedroom homes. Apartments are going up all around in both the White and Hispanic areas, though relatively more in the latter. And who lives in the new apartments? Whites are just as likely to be there as Hispanics, many moving away from areas like California where NIMBYism prevents you from building anything and leads to very high housing costs. There are also people coming from the predominately white rural areas of the state or neighboring states, where traditional industries are declining and people are losing jobs.

The directed killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s blood-soaked field marshal in the “forever war” of the Middle East
Perhaps Pat can name one effective general or field marshal who wasn’t blood soaked. Soleimani lived in a rough neighborhood and is a man of his times and environment. Nice guys don’t last long in that region and often end up dead.
I noticed that Bernie surged ahead of Biden and Saint Buttiplug right after Trump’s murder of Soleimani and threats to shock and awe Iran. A lot can change between now and November.
There’s no point in voting Republican anymore since regardless who we vote in we get the donor class and Jewish agenda. And if one is pro-white/alt-right/white nationalist Trump wouldn’t want your vote anyway, so why reward him just because he’s the slight lesser of two evils?
The people at his rallies obviously have so self respect since Trump just brags about all that he’s done for Israel, blacks and Latinos. Imagine Barack Obama telling a 95% black and Latino audience that white unemployment is at its lowest ever?

“The importance of deterrence isn’t confined to Iran,” Pompeo said. “In all cases, we must deter foes to defend freedom. That’s the whole point of President Trump’s work to make our military the strongest it’s ever been.” (Reuters)
Remarkably, Brezhnev’s speeches both on the XXIV and XXV Party Congresses contained orders of magnitude more strategic grasp of the unfolding events and were much less monotonous propaganda fodder, despite one of them lasting almost 6 hours (don’t remember which Congress), than when Pompeo speaks for a minute or two. In fact, Pompeo manages, most of the time, in couple of phrases to produce the amount of non-sense, propaganda and sheer ignorance seldom encountered in history. But then again, this certified moron is Rupturist, belongs to some Old Testament fanatics who pass in the US for “Christians” and is at the service of Israel’s interests–an exhibit A of US political “elite”. God help us all.
It wouldn’t be much different in a Hillary Clinton administration. Politicians lying directly to the American people doesn’t carry much in the way of consequences these days thanks to media consolidation and the ‘boiling frog’ phenom. That’s why any Democrat centrist will lose against Trump. The American people don’t see any reason to switch to an equally untrustworthy challenger when all that will get us is an extra dose of ‘virtue signalling’ along with our usual daily dose of fist fed propaganda.
We live under a brutal form of Fascism that has no equivalent in human history. I pales in comparison with Nazi Germany. There are no longer the rules of law and civilised norms. It is a barbaric, lawless, rogue, terrorising and distinctly global AngloZionist Fascism led by the U.S., Israel and Britain. They are always on the look to provoke aggression, commit war crimes, and inflict greater human misery thousands of miles away from their own borders. AngloZionist Fascism is a Mafia-like criminal enterprise that targets any nation who refuses to kowtow to AngloZionist alliance dictates to exploit its natural resources.
It doesn’t matter what what kind of dreck ‘1619’ produces. The Jewish ‘Blacks are a higher life-form’ crew own Hollywood. And the revisionist history they fist-feed to America is the dogma that will persist in what’s left of American culture. Not unlike the ‘6 million’ mythology.
That's why I doubt wannabe spooks would actually release a bio-agent: they are completely happy in their bureaucratic world; much aversion for any change to the status quo.Replies: @Gyre07
Old micro’s account of bureaucratic dysfunction has impressive verisimilitude.
Which would explain why the author referred to Mike Pompeo and John Bolton.
The context provides the correct word ‘nepotistic’. In my experience scientists not being particularly literate is not anything new and is the norm for that group. Grammar is just not their ‘thing’.
We’re used to it. Abuse accommodation syndrome.
Talk about “clueless’. But I’m pretty sure you believe that the British industrial revolution was the high point of western civilization too.
The cull certainly seems to have begun. Whether it is a totally natural event is a very different matter.Replies: @Gyre07
Great article, the herd is being culled, a natural occurrence.
The only statistically-significant ‘cull’ is that of our citizen’s expectations of leadership and civil liberties.
Do people really still have expectations of leadership? The economy though, is clearly being culled as we write, but could we be next? Perhaps, of major interest for all of us will be the COVID-19 vaccine, that might soon be ready for its inevitable grand entrance. These are very exciting times.

Receiving a college degree does not mean one is educated. Not all college degrees are equal.Replies: @Kolya Krassotkin
Why are educated Westerners so naive?
Not just arrogance. Evil. Utterly repulsive in thinking humanity exists to revolve around Jews. Utterly vile in feeling Jews are the greatest moral paragons NO MATTER what they do.
Jewishness has become a combination of ethno-supremacism and moral supremacism. Of course, ethno-supremacism cancels out moral legitimacy but never mind.
This sickness is what rules the West and what white people cuck to.
Isn't that also true? Isn't the genocide of Native Americans, the centuries of crimes against humanity by the British and Spanish Empires, etc., all presented as "improving the world"? Isn't "MAGA" a euphemism for "is it good for Americans"?

Actually, the Tribe put a hit on Corbyn because he was more even-handed and open in terms of speaking about the obvious pattern of atrocities that the Israelis (and their ‘courts’) have deliberately and continuously inflicted on the Palestinians over the years. Not unlike Bernie Sanders in his having had the temerity to speak truth to Jewish Power, and that isn’t tolerated well by Zionists (Jew and Christian) who desperately seek to silence any objective witnesses to their conduct.
If you’ve got an agenda you can find plenty of apparently credible (though not particularly knowledgeable) people to pose for the cameras to anchor a ‘news’ story pushing your trope. There’s not much actual evidence to conclude CV-19 is any worse than last year’s flu season, and those facts are coming out. So now it’s time to make more people fearful by citing all the ‘outlier’ cases to pump up the fear factor. A lot of smoke, but not much flame for a population too stupid and scared to be able to distinguish fact from opinion, or propaganda.
I guess an alternative to your binary vision is that the US could actually start to act as a moral player on the world stage rather than the temperamental tyrant who alienates everybody. But that would require an entire empire built on corruption to decide to reform itself. Jack the Ripper experiencing an epiphany leading to an intentional personality shift (after realizing that he was hated and feared) has never been a sequel for a reason.
Japan and China are now economical and political pals, Japan can feel secure getting close to China because Japan is defended by the US at great cost to US taxpayers, while at the same time calls for to Japan to cease its protectionism are nullified by them emphasising how they are facing a regional threat from burgeoning China. While a parasitic class of US super rich are indeed prospering it is just as much at the expense of America and average Americans as resource rich underdeveloped countries. Hence the White Death, and the relative decline of US power.Replies: @GeeBee
THE government of China began issuing bonds to foreign investors and governments for infrastructure work to modernize the country. In April 1938, the Nationalist government of China began to issue U.S.-dollar denominated bonds to finance the war against Japan's brutal invasion. As part of its wartime financial aid, the U.S. government further provided a $500 million credit to China in March 1942, shipping gold there and helping to stabilize the currency. In return, it appears that the U.S. government redeemed some of these dollar-denominated bonds. But China doesn't appear to have repaid this debt either.Today, the Chinese bonds held by U.S. investors may be worth as much as $750 billion.
Assuming he’s even motivated by a desire to make America a better Constitutional Republic, Trump is a salesman first and foremost. As a former pharmaceutical rep I am well aware that most salesmen are suckers for most sales pitches as an intrinsic part of their personalities. So as I watch Trump being manipulated continuously by a variety of slick and confident grifters inhabiting the world stage with their multitude of transparent agendas I can only go, “that figures”. I mean, he’s basically just a more alpha version of GW Bush, so the fact that we haven’t gone full gonzo yet on another nation is something of a miracle. Instead he’s waging war by collapsing economies he views as competitors OR those of countries he wants to invade to steal natural resources from. As for the health of America, we’re fucked. Our economy is based on the wet dream of sycophants like Mnuchin who barely escaped prison for his games in the wake of devastation of the subprime loan disaster on 2008, and neoliberals who are much better at playing him then the opposite. So he’s a puppet for Wall Street AND a closet neocon. Would the demonstrably senile Biden be any better? Not a chance, so once again the majority of Americans are left with a sham election whereby two flavors of the same shit are what’s being fed to us.
It’s hardly “progressives” like those who supported a Sanders nomination who are responsible for the pearl-clutching and general hysteria over CV-19. But it IS the same centrist Democrats who 1) ran and lost against Trump 4 years ago, 2) who fed MSNBC fictional talking points for three years after to convince us that Hillary lost only because of Russian interference, 3) who quietly dismissed Robert Mueller’s report that there was no Russian state interference, and 4) who created an impeachment farce based on nothing more than hearsay and opinion non-evidence. ALL of which went down with the same dead thud.
Those people are CENTRIST DEMOCRATS. Get it right next time before your rant rather than regurgitating moronic Rush talking points where your premise is dead before it even gets argued because you used the wrong nouns.
I notice nobody ever asks, “What the fuck do we need 5G for?”
Assuming sarcasm on your part, let me still say, ‘Why in fuck do I need 5G?’
My direct experience in California: both Asian-Americans and Asians (and Indians) constantly prattle on about how wonderful diversity is. Regardless of their feelings on taxation, illegal immigration, trade, etc. Because it benefits them tremendously vs Heritage Americans. Absolutely pin the percentage of UC students to the ethnic percentage of the young in California. Absolutely. It needs to be done. We have a federal system: let the experiment commence in California.
Apparently you didn’t read the article. The stats for UCSD show the student body is 37% Asian and 19% white.
Or..he could be working for the ghost of Ho Chi Minh. Ya never know. “USA, USA, USA!” /s
Venezuela has no refining capability. The presumption therefore is that Iran would refine the oil they get from Venezuela for them.
According to Latin news sources, among other things Iranian tankers bring additives that would allow Venezuela to restart its own refining. The Empire banned sales of these additives to Venezuela. We’ll see what happens next. Latins follow these tankers like a soap opera for a reason: the imperial policies have become a soap opera. Dull and repetitive one, at that.
Venezuela has no refining capability.
Interesting theory, but I tend to believe that the attack on standardized testing has much more to do with the fact that minorities tend not to do as well as Caucasians or Asians on intellectually-challenging tasks requiring quantitative analysis or linear thinking in general.
Biden will capture 90% of the black vote. Trump is toast.
Found guilty of Second Degree Murder, not Minnesota’s version of manslaughter. Anything less, and it’s going to get worse. OR, the could ‘suicide’ him in jail like Epstein.
