Schools Inflict Race-Based Discipline

Already liberals are officially codifying the racial caste system we live under. In deep blue Portland, government school educrats and unions officially agree that misbehaving students who are not black or ostentatiously sexually perverted must be punished more severely:

A new collective bargaining agreement between Portland Public Schools and its unionized teachers requires school officials to consider a disruptive student’s race, gender identity, and sexual orientation when crafting that student’s disciplinary plan.

When a student exhibits “continuous disruptive behavior,” the agreement says, school officials must develop a “support plan” for the student, which can include disciplinary measures such as detention. That plan “must take into consideration the impact of issues related to the student’s trauma, race, gender identity/presentation, sexual orientation … and restorative justice as appropriate for the student,” according to the agreement.

The agreement explicitly focuses disciplinary policy on “racial equity and social justice.” The objective is not to maintain order in the classroom, but to punish or reward students for their race.

The lunacy isn’t limited to Portland:

The policy change reflects a broader effort at both the federal and local levels to develop race-conscious disciplinary rules for public school students. Earlier this year, for example, the Biden administration released a memo urging schools to refrain from suspending students for truancy, arguing that “significant disparities by race … have persisted in the application of student discipline.” School districts in Washington and Illinois, meanwhile, have adopted disciplinary policies that aim to provide a “culturally responsive” and “restorative approach” to student discipline.

Lighter punishment for those most likely to misbehave will further disrupt classrooms. This is not a bug but a feature. Only when no one is able to learn anything can equity be imposed.

Transsexuals Keep Bullying Women as Resistance Grows

Men are making great strides in women’s sports. Consider a guy in New Jersey who calls himself Meghan Cortez-Fields:

Meghan Cortez-Fields smashed Ramapo College’s record for the 100 yard butterfly with a time of 57.22 which earned her first place.

Correction, he did not earn it. He stole it from the woman who did.

She also scooped the top spot in the 200 yard individual medley and second in the 200 yard butterfly at the Cougar Splash Invitational, a two-day meet between six schools in Dallas, Pennsylvania.

Considering that even supposedly right-leaning sites like Daily Mail brazenly lie by calling men like this “she,” there is no reason to take anything the mainstream media tells you at face value.

Cortez-Fields, from College Station, Texas, had competed on Ramapo’s men’s team for three seasons prior to switching to the women’s roster.

The guy sports a tattoo of Aphrodite with male genitalia. He is one sick freak. The liberal establishment is happy to help him ram his sickness down everyone else’s throat.

At long last, resistance to the transsexual agenda is beginning to grow.

The ICC has banned transgender players born as men from playing international women’s cricket.

“Born as men.” For crying out loud. They ought to spare the reader from wasted words by writing what they mean: “The International Cricket Council has banned men from playing international women’s cricket.”

[T]he governing body concluded that they had made the decision following a nine-month consultation process to protect the safety of female players.

Unsurprisingly, transsexual bullies are pushing back against pushback:

A transgender woman footballer whose physical power on the pitch left opponents ‘terrified’ is considering taking legal action for discrimination after opposing teams refused to play against her.

The boycott is said to have followed a player suffering a broken knee when ‘blocking a shot’ from the trans player Francesca Needham, 30.

When word spread about the incident, some players refused to play against Needham for ‘safety’ reasons and two matches in the Sheffield and Hallamshire Women’s League were called off.

So Mr. Needham is threatening to sue the real women for not wanting their knees broken.

Nonsickos can sue too:

A Vermont high school is suing state officials after they were banned from all athletic and academic events for refusing to allow their girls basketball team to compete against a transgender player, Fox News reported.

Mid Vermont Christian School says they were barred from all athletic play after forfeiting against a Long Trail girls high school basketball team that had a biological male on their team on Feb. 21.

Women are forewarned that transsexual violence against them may not be limited to sports arenas:

Male transgender activists allegedly attacked several women who were holding a sidewalk protest for women’s rights in Portland, Oregon, on Sunday.

Reports feminist writer Lierre Keith:

Four of us at the ER right now. We are in good spirits and remain undefeated. A mob of “antifa” men attacked us, pepper sprayed us in the eyes, punched us, kicked us, and stole our phones. We were attempting to have an event about male violence.

Trantifa is not to be messed with, as Mr. Cortez-Fields’s fellow shemale swimmer Will “Lia” Thomas will enthusiastically confirm.

The violence is likely to escalate if trans bullies don’t get their way. Already, the list of transsexuals threatening or committing violence is long and growing; it includes Audrey Hale, Kimbrady Carriker, Maya McKinney, Snochia Moseley, Anderson Lee Aldrich, Moses Lopez, William Whitworth, Shanu Varma, a guy calling himself Lara, Zion William Teasley, Jason Michael Hann, Cali Anderson, Dana Rivers, Vivian Ginger-Rain Shemansky, Linnea Pugmire, Mark Campbell, and Paul S. Don’t hold your breath waiting for our rulers to declare a Day of Remembrance for their victims.

City Councilor: The Motive Is He’s White

The media will tell you that the recent mass murder in Maine was caused by our Constitutional right to defend ourselves. Saner voices observe that such horrors are to be expected in a society that fosters psychosis and lets maniacs run free. Neither addresses the killer’s motive, which only Portland City Councilor Victoria Pelletier seems to know:

“The motive is he’s white.”

Victoria elaborates:

It appears that all of Robert Card’s victims were white too — despite the killings taking place in a town with a large minority population. But only the unwoke allow petty details to distract from the narrative.

Civilization Succumbs to Social Justice

Lawless black mobs were lavishly rewarded for demanding that we pretend career criminal George Floyd was murdered by police rather than dying of a fentanyl overdose. Reward behavior and you get more of it:

Philadelphia suffered its second night in a row of mass looting incidents and destructive social media-fueled mayhem on Wednesday…

Needy social justice warriors…

…ransacked more than a dozen state-run liquor stores so thoroughly that the state announced it was closing its Philly locations until further notice.

The pretext:

The flash mob-style looting spree started just after 8 p.m. Tuesday at dozens of stores, including Foot Locker, Lululemon and an Apple store, just hours after a judge ruled to dismiss a murder charge against a White Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed Black resident Eddie Irizarry.

Don’t call it looting. That would be racially insensitive. Call it “reparations,” like they do in Chicago:

As public order collapses, stores are becoming infeasible. The leftists running Target reap the consequences of their own ideology:

On Tuesday the big box retailer announced plans to close nine stores, effective Oct. 21.

“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” the company said in a statement.

Can you guess where the stores are? That’s right, ultraliberal cities:

The stores set to close include one in Harlem, N.Y; two in Seattle, Wash.; three near San Francisco and Oakland, Calif.; and three in Portland, Ore.

Target loves liberalism but has no choice:

Target expects to lose roughly $1.2 billion in profits from retail theft in 2022 and 2023.

No worries. The same Democratic politicians who encourage rioting will replace Target with government stores. The nice thing about communism is that you don’t have to worry about theft, since there is nothing on the shelves to steal.

Here’s how Americans look from overseas, now that we have succumbed to moonbattery:

The police could put an end to this with a single machine gun. But we don’t have the will to defend civilization from savages. So we are losing it.

Transgender Activist Destroys, Defecates in Teen Girl’s Car

Transphobes are all around us. They must be punished. Transgender activists are up to the job:

A Portland transgender social media activist with a violent criminal history has been charged for allegedly smashing up a teen girl’s car and defecating inside. The suspect allegedly told police the teen was “transphobic.”

On Aug. 27, 17-year-old Jade was confronted by a stranger after parking in the Hollywood neighborhood for a shopping trip. She walked away and upon returning to her vehicle later, found every window and light was smashed out, the interior smeared all over with feces and urine.

The car was declared a “biohazard” and effectively totaled.

Even in Portland, there are sometimes legal consequences:

Vivian Ginger-Rain Shemansky, 44, was located by the Portland Police nearby and was arrested.

Even though he had two arrest warrants for prior incidents when they picked him up, they let him loose the same day on “monitored pretrial release.”

On social media, Shemansky has long documented her [sic] gender transition with photos of her [sic] estrogen medication and posts about her [sic] gender affirming surgery. She [sic] also regularly denounced transphobia, fascism and racism.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office refuses to say whether Shemansky is locked up with men or women during his brief incarcerations.

If you really want to know what a guy who would call himself Vivian Ginger-Rain Shemansky looks like, click here — or start your own collection of Vivian Shemansky mugshot trading cards by clicking here.

Transsexuals are psychotic by definition and characterized by a tendency toward violence (e.g., Maya McKinney, Snochia Moseley, Anderson Lee Aldrich, Audrey Hale, Moses Lopez, William Whitworth, Shanu Varma, “Lara,” Zion William Teasley, Jason Michael Hann, Cali Anderson, Dana Rivers). The liberal establishment eggs them on by pretending they are somehow “oppressed.” Our moonbattery-induced mental health and public safety crises will not improve if leftism continues to prevail.

Tucker Carlson Book Arrives Defaced From Amazon

Until it has achieved total monopoly, Amazon will still sell books it disapproves of. But don’t be too fussy about the condition they arrive in:

Glenn Dobbs was shocked when he opened an Amazon box containing the new biography “Tucker,” by Chadwick Moore, to find the cover had been defaced with a Hitler-style mustache drawn on Tucker Carlson’s face.

A Hitler mustache is appropriate on Tucker because everyone leftists don’t like is Hitler.

The customer said he immediately wrote a review on Amazon, only to have the company inform him his review would not be published, because it violated company rules.

What do you expect? This is the company that used its dominance in web services to take Parler offline because conservatives were using it to communicate free of liberal establishment censorship.

The box came from the Amazon fulfillment center in Troutdale, Oregon, just outside of Portland.

Again, what do you expect? Portland is a hostile foreign country.

If this story sounds familiar,

Coming to depend on Amazon is not going to end well.

Fourteen US Cities Commit to Poverty and Tyranny

Abject poverty is bad enough when it is imposed by circumstance. Worse still is when it is inflicted by our liberal ruling class out of sheer moonbattery:

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,” which has an “ambitious target” by the year 2030 of “0 kg [of] meat consumption,” “0 kg [of] dairy consumption,” “3 new clothing items per person per year,” “0 private vehicles” owned, and “1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.”

C40’s dystopian goals can be found in its “The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World” report, which was published in 2019 and reportedly reemphasized in 2023. The organization is headed and largely funded by Democrat billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

Uncoincidentally, Bloomberg has spent many $millions attacking the Second Amendment, the main purpose of which is to defend us from tyranny.

Nearly 100 cities across the world make up the organization, and its American members include Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

Local leaders have begun imposing restrictions in pursuit of these malevolent objectives. For example, in NYC,

Eric Adams announced that the city will place caps on the amount of meat and dairy served by city institutions, such as schools and prisons.

Kooks like Adams need to pick up the pace in the race to impose poverty and tyranny in the name of the weather. Europe is pulling ahead of them:

The U.K. has banned the sale of new gas-powered vehicles after 2030, and France has banned short-haul flights “to cut carbon emissions.”

The goal is to reduce us to a Third World standard of living, while restricting fundamental liberties like freedom of movement and property rights. Though the implementation may be local, the design is globalist:

In 2020, the World Economic Forum (which promotes C40 Cities on its website) introduced “The Great Reset,” which seeks to use the Covid-19 pandemic as a point from which to launch a global reset of society to supposedly combat climate change. This reset, however, has far more to do with social control than it does with the climate. If globalist leaders truly cared about the environment, they wouldn’t be chartering private jets or owning massive, energy-consuming mansions on the coast in California, which, by climate fanatics’ own calculation, will soon be underwater.

Few could be dumb enough to take the supposed “climate crisis” at face value. Yet in the absence of resistance, the agenda continues to move forward.

To get an idea of how cartoonishly malevolent these maniacs are, consider WEF-linked “bioethicist” Dr. Matthew Liao:

Liao has proposed the idea of scientists genetically modify humans to be allergic to meat. Liao has also discussed shrinking the physical size of humans via eugenics or hormone injections so they consume fewer resources.

When they have us helpless enough, they can experiment at will.

If demanding we surrender our freedom and standard of living in the name of the weather stops getting traction, social engineers can always fall back on Covid-19. You thought that was over? Why would they let it be over?

Erasing Women From Holland to Oregon

Liberals cannot define what a woman is because according to their ideology, women cannot exist in any meaningful sense. But they do exist. Therefore, they must be erased. That’s why Miss Netherlands is a man:

Rikkie Kolle, a 22-year-old man, beat out nine women to attain the title of “Miss Netherlands” on Saturday, sparking outrage on social media as many users said the win showed we are experiencing a trend of erasing women.

Picking Mr Kolle was a twofer, striking a blow against not only transphobia but also lookism. The guy’s toothy face could break mirrors:

In the bad old days, Miss Netherlands would have been the beautiful woman on the right. Now that the people in charge are enlightened, it is the ugly man on the left. Progressives call this progress.

In other news on the erasure of women, a women’s track event has been won not by a man pretending to be a woman (that wouldn’t be news at this point), but by a woman pretending not to be a woman — because with moonbats the absurdity must always escalate:

Athletes converged on Hayward Field at the University of Oregon in Eugene over the weekend for the 2023 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championship in hopes of qualifying for a spot on Team USA at this year’s World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

Despite biologically being a woman, 28-year-old Nikki Hiltz’s victory in the Women’s 1500M intersected with the inane because of her self-identification as a “transgender non-binary” athlete.

Also from Oregon,

As Portland struggles to manage crime and an increase in homelessness, city staff members are being told to adopt a more “culturally conscious” vocabulary that includes not using words such as “women,” “Caucasian” or “citizen.”

All three concepts are slated for erasure.

The Office of Equity and Human Rights pushed an Inclusive Writing Guide in June as part of a “city-wide collaboration” to alter commonly used terms that they feel have evolved.

The guide suggested removing femininity from terms commonly used for women, including replacing “pregnant women” with “pregnant people” to be inclusive of those “who have this experience [pregnancy] but do not identify as women.”

Only when all women have rejected womanhood can this transphobic concept be abolished, thereby opening the gates of utopia.

Patriots Eject Phony Infiltrators

Democrats squeezed a lot of propaganda out of the January 6 kerfuffle, so the Deep State can be expected to keep pushing the strategy of infiltrating right-leaning groups in hopes of creating a spectacle that can be exploited. It doesn’t always work out as well for them as on 1/6. From Portland:

Arson More Likely Than Global Warming

Air conditions in the Northeast have been the next best thing to a school shooting for the liberal propagandists who run the media. They have predictably hyped the smoggy skies as evidence that draconian measures are required to confront the nonexistent climate crisis. However, the Canadian forest fires that produced the pollution might not have been caused by our failure to abolish transportation. As with California wildfires, poor forest management likely had more to do with it than minor climate fluctuations. The rising tide of lawlessness might have played an even bigger role:

The Toronto Sun has learned Quebec police are investigating the possibility that the smoke creating poor air quality in southern Ontario and making downtown skylines disappear may have been the result of arson. …

The actual cause is yet to be determined. We do know, however, that previous forest fires in places like Fort McMuray or in Nova Scotia are suspected to be caused by humans.

Multiple acts of arson might have been coordinated.

“As we speak, we think that certain elements that stand out may suggest that these fires may be linked. There are a few things that seem suspicious,” Mayor Isabelle Lessard told the local le Quotidien newspaper. “The SQ [provincial police service Sûreté du Québec] is investigating in order to make validations, then to see what is happening and if there is a criminal cause behind it, but we are still in validation.”

However,

This narrative has not made as many headlines — and is polar opposite to what the likes of U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Environment Minister Steven Guibeault have been saying.

Moonbat demagogues are predictably spouting nonsense like this:

The Canadian wildfires are unprecedented in the same way the profligate spending blowout Democrats mislabeled the Inflation Reduction Act reduced inflation. An example from 243 years ago, long before there was a modern economy to blame:

On May 19, 1780, the sun came up as usual, but then the skies over New England darkened as far north as Portland, Maine, and as far south as New Jersey. …

The Dark Day inspired terror, panic and puzzlement. Men prayed and women wept. Thousands left off work and took to taverns and churches for solace. Children were sent home from school. Bewildered chickens went to their roosts, frightened cattle returned to their stalls, the night birds whistled and frogs peeped as they did at midnight.

If Twitter had been around, moonbats would have been barking hysterical tweets.

In the 19th century, historian Joseph Dow figured out the cause: smoke from extensive forest fires mixed with fog.

Post-Covid Ghost Cities

The Democrat Death Spiral has been destroying American cities. Democrat policies drive out productive citizens, resulting in a population that elects increasingly left-wing Democrats, resulting in still more insane policies in a vicious circle. Eventually, no one is left but a core Democrat constituency living like rats and cockroaches amid decaying ruins (e.g., our formerly wealthiest city, Detroit). Covid tyranny has accelerated this tragic process:

The downtown areas of San Francisco, St. Louis, Portland, Oregon, and other North American cities remain deserted months after the pandemic waned, despite many urban areas bouncing back to life, new data show.

Researchers tracked smartphone use across 63 cities and found that San Francisco, which is battling waves of crime and homeless addicts on its streets, only has 32 percent of the activity that was recorded before the pandemic.

Other cities were able to put Covid behind them when people came back to work:

Salt Lake City has bounced back strongest, with 139 percent more cell phone activity nowadays than was seen before COVID-19 arrived…

This is about more than Democrats paralyzing local economies in the name of Covid:

The research adds to fears that soft-on-crime policies in ultra-liberal cities like San Francisco and Portland have driven up rates of lawlessness and other social problems, leading to an exodus of people as part of a longer-term decline.

A healthy city can recover from setbacks like the hysterical Covid overreaction. Cities run by moonbats tend not to be healthy.

Vermont Offers Suicide Tourism

When all you have is moral degeneracy, you learn to monetize it. If blue states can bring in money through abortion tourism and transsexualization of children tourism, why not suicide tourism? Vermont gives it a shot:

Vermont on Tuesday became the first state in the country to change its medically assisted suicide law to allow terminally ill people from out of state to take advantage of it to end their lives.

Even Oregon sort of stops short of this for now:

Last year in a court settlement, Oregon agreed to stop enforcing the residency requirement of its law allowing terminally ill people to receive lethal medication. It also agreed to ask the Legislature to remove it from the law.

Crows suicide advocate Kim Callinan:

“Patients routinely travel to other states to utilize the best healthcare options. There is no rational reason they shouldn’t be able to travel to another state to access medical aid in dying if the state they live in doesn’t offer it.”

Turns out the slippery slope principle applies to allowing abortion advocates to redefine killing people as healthcare.

To see where we slide down the slippery slope from here, look to the Netherlands, where healthcare now includes aborting children age 1–12 years.

Transsexual Maniac Butchers Taxi Driver

The wave of transsexual violence continues:

A 30-year-old male transsexual has been charged with fatally stabbing a taxi driver in Portland on Easter Sunday.

The driver was butchered just a few minutes into a fare.

It was “vicious, senseless and brutal,” said [Radio Cab spokesman Darin] Campbell. “There was no conversation. No altercation. Nothing.”

Moses Lopez has been arrested for the murder. As with most violence under moonbat rule, he should have been behind bars but had been allowed to run amok.

Just days before the murder, on April 3, Lopez had been arrested and charged with menacing two people with a dangerous weapon in Coos County, but was subsequently cut loose without having to post bail.

Lopez is an LGBTQ+ activist. He claims to be a woman.

The suspect’s Facebook page has pictures of him posing in blue nail polish with LGBT symbols, with one rainbow-crowded image captioned, “Love wins pride.”

It’s too dark to be the Babylon Bee; it must be real news.

Lopez appears to have begun masquerading as a woman around 2018, having previously identified as a gay man.

Homosexuality is the gateway drug to transsexualism, which in turn leads to still more disturbing depths of depravity. A society that incentivizes insanity reaps as it sows.

Criminal maniacs like Lopez have a suitable home in ultraliberal Portland:

Portland has a score of 1 (the lowest possible, with 100 being safest) on Neighborhood Scout’s crime index.

Although Lopez fortunately fell short of mass murder, let’s be inclusive and put him on the list of transmaniacs, along with William Whitworth, Maya McKinney, Snochia Moseley, Anderson Lee Aldrich, and of course Audrey Hale.

Climate Mental Health

Whereas most will agree that the climate fluctuates, belief in the global warming hoax is a psychiatric condition. Kamala “Heartbeat Away” Harris confirms it while jabbering about “climate mental health”:

We can’t count on the kooks at CNBC for investment advice, but moonbattery is their area of expertise, so let’s hear what they say:

It’s called climate anxiety, and it’s a real mental health condition that can take time to address, according to Portland, Oregon-based environmental psychologist Thomas Doherty. At the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colorado … Doherty spoke about the “learning curve” it takes to combat the anxiety, or even despair, stemming from climate change.

The guy is getting paid to be an “environmental psychologist.” I was going to say, “Only in Portland and Aspen,” but that would be wishful thinking.

Both the United Nations and the American Psychological Association (APA) have found that humans are increasingly at risk of climate change-induced mental health issues.

The UN and APA are likewise expert in the field of moonbattery.

In 2021, a global study found that 45% of people between the ages of 16 and 25 said climate anxiety was affecting their daily lives.

The percentage of people whose daily lives are affected by climate change itself is more like zero. But those who enjoy wallowing in neurosis can still seize on it to make themselves miserable.

Too bad they make others miserable too. Small children do not know better than to take enviromoonbattery seriously. Inflicting distress by submersing them in politically motivated gloom is not healthy, as we saw when Rep Katie Porter (D-CA) used global warming doctrine to instill in her daughter an affective disorder.

Nonetheless, schools are required by law to indoctrinate children with this toxic ideology in Connecticut and soon Oregon.
