You can’t make this up!

Diversity Is Our Strength

Diversity: According to Webster’s Diversity: Die – ver – city (sic). From the Latin:” Die toward the city.” To continue to push for something that dosen’t require pushing. And in doing so you will die! Cities will self destruct and die unto themselves.

Harvard and its race based admission practices are wrong and do not reflect diversity. Charles Lane of the Washington Post discusses a suit brought by Asian American plaintiffs charging Harvard with racial discrimination in undergraduate admissions.

To me (Lane) the most interesting bit of information in this column is this: Harvard’s expert witness told the court that without its system of taking race into account (favouring some races / ethnic groups while disfavouring others), its class of 2001 would have been 15% African Americans and Latino rather than the 28% that it actually was.

To me this is an admission that Harvard can achieve diversity without granting racial and ethnic preferences. If gaining a diversity label means shutting out most predominant races based on colour and ethnicity then you have a racist institution that will ultimately die within itself.

If you had 10 Caucasians in a group with one African American would the group be diverse? Yes. Yet some progressives would suggest that diversity only occurs after a certain threshold is met. What would that be? 30%, 50%, 80%? Getting rid of whitey altogether. Or maybe blacky. Is that diversity? This is madness and will certainly ensure the death of our higher learning institutions (bring it on) and ultimately society and our cities. Leave it alone. Do not place markers on diversity otherwise diversity itself becomes meaningless, a weakness. Identity politics.

An Exeter Professor proffers, as only a professor can proffer, that mathematics is the root cause for wage disparity throughout the world because it teaches individuals ethics free and detached thought rather than diversity of thinking.

The other day while shopping the cashier tallied up my purchase and it came to $15.35. I gave her $20.35. She looked at me with that detached unethical look and stood there stumped:

“Hmmmm” she uttered. “Hmmmm” she uttered again.

I looked at her bemused face and finally said. “You owe me $5.00.”

“Oh yeah,” she says. “Says who?”

“Its basic math” says I

“Yeah, who’s math” she says. “Your old school math or the new math?” and with that she called for the supervisor.

The supervisor came over, looked at me sternly, discussed the situation with the cashier, looked at me again and said:

“Well she isn’t wrong you know. It’s the new math and diversity of thought. Diversity is our strength here in this store. And who is to say your math is any better than her math? Or you’re right and she is wrong?”

“Just give me the 5 bucks and I’ll leave”

“5 bucks, no way. You’re owed $4.55”

“65 cents says I? Plus the 35 cents I gave her.”

“Right, so here is your 65 cents Sir.”

I took it and left. I just couldn’t bear correcting their new approach to math.

Diversity of thought I thought. Diversity of logic, logically speaking I thought. Stupidity!

Yes it takes all kinds of wingnuts to make a society die – or a store, and that is diversity. This so called diverse opinion of thought, of logic – even if it is wrong and goes against established rules of life – will surely destroy us or them. Eeee Gadszooks!

The New Math? Oh yeah:

1 + 1 = 11

or

1 + 1 = 3

Some New York schools are doubling down on their admission standards to ensure a whole range or prospective and diverse students are eligible to meet the grade. ” We want a whole range of students here” One school administrator said. Not just the smart hard working kind. After all diversity is our strength. So we’re doubling down on our admission standards. Doing otherwise is considered unethical on our part, particularly in our Math department.

“Dumbing down is more like it” I thought………Geesh

But hey, diversity of stupidity is our strength. But wait a minute. Stupidity knows no colour or race or ethnicity. One is either stupid or they’re not!

“If we are all stupid then who is to say that we are stupid in the first place”, the administrator remarked. “It’s like that simple classical argument that, that, who was it now that said it…Aristotle? Blimy? Or Cicero? Oh you know. It will come to me. Oh yes: “Who’s on first?””

“Oh you mean Costello?” I proffered

“Yeah him,” she said. “Profound man. Profound thinking back then.”

We are in trouble. And if we continue on this path we will no longer be considered diverse but a dead society: Homo Zombius!

Sledgehammer!

How’s the World Cup doing for ya today? Well, surprise upon surprise the Swiss and Brazil tied: 1-1. Germany lost to Mexico 0-1, and Costa Rica lost to the Serbs. Yes again a titilizing score of 0-1. Wow, after 94 minutes of play. How can you not score on this:

See the source image

a man holding a football ballIn the 35th minute, Mexico scores which means nothing for over 93 minutes of play. Exciting stuff!

Iceland ties with Argentina 1-1. Whoa, another upset. Must have been all of that hot gas in Iceland. High pressure gas erupts during World Cup match with Argentina. Sweden over Peru in…you guessed it…another thrilling 1-0 score. Good gawd, it’s like watching paint dry.

Other stuff going on: The Weinstein legacy.

Having Learned Nothing, Democrats Turn to Hollywood for help in 2018 and 2020:

“You talking to me?” You, you, are You talking to me. Yeah you…go f..k yerself and f..k Trump. Hey stop lookin at me. Yeah YOU.”

Yeah, like that’s real profound Hollywood. I’m going to listen to you and vote Trump for sure.”

“Hey, lets continue our under cover work on Stormy Daniels.”
San Juan Democratic mayor who trashed Trump is now under FBI investigation over distribution of relief supplies. Was told by Democrats to trash Trump…so she did. Many state that perhaps it’s time for Puerto Rico to stand on its own… and see how that works for ya.

Love this headline from Entertainment News:

“Angelina’s daughter was gorgeous but now she looks insane.”
Just like her mother.
Don’t they have editors at these rags?

Something not heard or read very often, especially from the Guardian:

Donald Trump was right. The rest of the G7 were wrong
Of course the Guardian was referring to the massive farm subsidies that Canada and the EU imposes on American goods to ensure American dairy products cannot compete within their countries… for nation security reasons. So, the US imposes sanctions and duties of their own and these countries go ballistic…Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Love this:

The plot against merit:

Seeking racial balance, liberal advocates want to water down admissions standards at New York’s elite high schools.

“Yeah, diversity is our strength. Inclusiveness is a god given right. If one of us is stupid then all of us have to be stupid too. No question.”  That is “Liberal” logic.

Blind journalism at work.

Caustic Toxicity

Oooo. World Cup starts today. Oooooo. Can’t wait for the beautiful game to start. It’s going to be a riot these next 31 or so days.

See the source image

Like I said , all the action is in the stands. Let’s see what the results were today. Oh Russia vs Saudi Arabia. Should be a barn-jerker of a match. In the west the losers are generally relegated to a lower division. With these two a loss generally relegates the loser either to a Gulag or to be in charge of the king’s camel brigade. Failing that to be part of a judging committee at Burqa swim suit competition!.

Can’t wait. Starts in about 2 hours from now….Ooooooo!

Trump Derangement Syndrome in spades or “Why I never Watch Award Shows:”

Sunday night was the 72nd Tony Awards, the annual ceremony that’s supposed to celebrate the best of Broadway. But what’s being talked about more than any of the winners or nominees, co-hosts Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles, or even a moving performance from the Parkland students was the unhinged anti-Trump tirade made by Robert De Niro.

De Niro stepped on the stage to give a simple introduction to Bruce Springsteen’s Tony-nominated show, and immediately went off the rails.

“I’m gonna say one thing … F–k Trump,” De Niro declared with his fists in the air. “It’s no longer ‘Down with Trump,’ it’s ‘F–k Trump!’”

See the source imageWho me? You talkin to me?

Oooooo, dynamic words there Robert. Could you be a bit more succinct for us deplorables?

Not surprisingly, his remarks were welcomed with cheers and a standing ovation. Like most award shows, they’re attended by liberals who have had nothing but animosity towards Trump after he announced his candidacy in 2015. And they’ve made their hatred for him obvious at virtually every single award show ever since. These awards shows were no longer about the craft of creating such art, they’ve become about Trump.

Gotta love those tolerant non racist, non bigoted lefties!

De Niro himself has made several off-the-wall attacks against the president from calling him a “mutt” and the “jerkoff-in-chief” among other things to saying he’d like to “punch him in the face.” He even said he’s “beyond” seeing the point of view of Trump supporters. He has truly gone off the deep end. But sadly, that’s par for the course in Hollywood.

Par for the course? That’s an insult to golfers!

Just within the last several days alone, we had Bill Maher “hoping” for another recession because a crashing economy can hurt Trump’s reelection chances.

See the source imageHey, I’m Bill Maher and you’re not.          Just another arrogant, “I’m better than you” asswipe.

Would you want a bunch of lefties running your world?

So, who are the bullies here? I would ask. Everyone talks about pink shirt days, stop the bullying whereas the role models of such bad behaviour are within the very tolerant, compassionate left. Bill Maher is not funny. De-Niro has a very limited vocabulary and is well past his best before date:

Who me? You talking to me? Yeah you? You talking to me? Me? Yeah you?

And the Oscar Myer Weiner this year goes to Robert De Nero!

Good ole whitey Shakespeare has nothing to worry about me thinks.

“Doug Ford was elected Premier of Ontario because he’s a ‘white, heterosexual man’:” CBC’s Cross Canada Checkup caller.

This coming from a well edumacated (sic) Social Worker. Of course she is black. No, no, no, a black homosexual perpier (sic) would better fit the bill. Some of her comments:

“Because of his gender and ethnicity, voters “automatically assume that when he tells them something … that he’s actually telling the truth,” she said.

“I don’t think any other person — a white woman, a gay person, an immigrant — would ever have gotten elected in such a way for giving almost nothing.”

What about Kathleen Wynne? The punted premier. She says we’re all immigrants here. So diversity is our strength. Last time I checked “whitey” was part of the mix. Or are whites excluded from the diversity soup?

But not Rob Ford. He’s an animal?

It all boils down to this:

Liberals and lefties = goodness

Conservatives and righties = bad, bad, bad.

Read above comments re De Niro and Maher!

Note to self: never, ever become involved with a woman social worker or a woman who has a degree in Woman’s Studies….NEVER!

Those tolerant lefties…………….Geesh!

That’s it for today’s rant.

For what it’s worth my song of the day:

Oh, and the World Cup?

Polyglots

This will not end well:

“About 450 radicalized detainees, including 50 Islamic terrorists, will walk free by the end of 2019 in France, the Justice Minister said. French prisons struggle with overcrowding, violence and often fail to combat radicalization.”

In keeping with France’s traditional action on matters such as this the Minister was heard to remark:

“We have given up. We have to surrender to this new reality. We can no longer fight this war on terror” The ghosts of French’s past could only smile when they heard this. A major French “white flag” factory near Paris (is there any other kind), which had been dormant for these past few years, has been retooled, rebooted and re-energized to meet the new demands of the French para-military. Next up? Mutti Merkel’s Germany.

Brexit anyone

Love this:

“Vladimir Putin’s emergency German language interjections during a recent heated interview with an Austrian journalist has begged the question: Which other world leaders have rolled out a foreign language, for better or for worse?”

“Poly glot” yer tongue Putin. Of course nobody could understand these guys:

“Eye-za-guy dat builds za boat, Eye-za -guy that sails dem”

Whew. Of course these so call “Polyglots” can have unintended consequences. This was heard at a recent North Korean summit meeting with South Korean and Chinese leaders.

Vladimir Putin holds his highly anticipated annual televised question-and-answer session, and the number of questions is about two million. This year’s event is Putin’s 16th and is different from the previous ones in several ways.

One in particular: He doesn’t answer any of them. When asked why he could only say: “I am a dick,” which all of the polyglots thought they heard: “I am a dictator and you’re not” Lost in translation.

Two million questions? Are you kidding me. We here in Canada should be so lucky. It would bring a whole new meaning to “Question Period.”

Trudeau was heard to remark to all of his NAFTA polyglot buddies. “See ya.” But after careful scrutinization of his comments by all of his Polyglots they thought they heard:

“Naf said…Ta”….Lost in translation.

This just in. Headline from CNN / MSNBC: Stormy Daniels sues ex lawyer.

Meanwhile over in Guatemala and Hawaii.

See the source image                Image result for pics of hawaii volcano erupting

 

No story there a CNN / MSNBC spokesperson James Polyglot, who wishes to remain anonymous, stated categorically. “It’s only an erection for heaven’s sake. Stormy Daniels is an expert on things such as this. So that is why we have ignored Guatemala and Hawaii to lead off with this story. It is more explosive…extremely stormy me thinks. What do you think?” he asked.

Lost in translation me stinks!

And the oxymoronic act of the year goes to U of A: David Suzuki to receive an honorary degree from the University of Alberta. An acknowledgement by the University to a guy who wants to bring down Alberta’s economy and launch all of us back into the dark ages.

I shakes my head in disbelief.

During his acceptance speech all of his polyglot buddies from Greenpeace and his Foundation thought he said “lunch” when he actually said “launch” when referring to his activist plans to destroy Alberta’s economy. They all got up and left.

“I said launch, not lunch” David sex-claimed in sex-asperation.  It was too late. The convocation hall at U of A emptied faster than a misplaced “Green” convention mistakenly located at an NRA rally.

The world is crazy me stinks.

Just another day in our lives. Life is good. Embrace it.
