The personification of hubris

Nikole Hannah-Jones is the personification of hubris. That's the first thing I thought when I heard about her interview with Chuck Todd on Meet the Press yesterday. During the interview, Ms. Hannah-Jones said that she isn't a professional educator.

That's odd considering the fact that she's part of the faculty at Howard University. During the interview, Ms. Hannah-Jones did her best Terry McAuliffe impression. I'd prefer it if she'd find Dr. Fauci and take him with her and disappear. But I digress.

During the interview, Hannah-Jones said "We send our children to school because we want them to be taught by people who have an expertise in the subject area. And that is not my job. When the governor or the candidate said that he didn't think parents should be deciding what's being taught in school, he was panned for that. But that's just the fact. This is why we send our children to school and don't homeschool, because these are the professional educators who have the expertise to teach social studies, to teach history, to teach science, to teach literature. And I think we should leave that to the educators."

If teacher union leadership didn't have such total disdain for parents, that might be a plausible explanation. If teachers union leadership wasn't utterly corrupt, Hannah-Jones might have a point. It's worth noting how often 'the experts' have gotten things wrong the last eighteen months. Further, it isn't like literature, social studies and history can't be self-taught. Has Ms. Hannah-Jones noticed the spike in online college classes the past 5 years? Apparently, she hasn't.

The people taking these classes aren't getting teaching certificates at the end of these classes. That doesn't mean they aren't qualified to teach about the civil war, Abraham Lincoln or other subjects. At minimum, they're qualified to serve as a check-and-balance against Hannah-Jones' 1619 Project-type propaganda.

Why would anyone think that teacher union leadership isn't heavily biased against Americanism? Ms. Hannah-Jones insists that we let professionals teach children because they have the expertise to produce the right results. She's also the one who's pushing the teaching of fake US history. Trusting professionals isn't the same as trusting professionals with integrity. It's apparent that Ms. Hannah-Jones isn't a person with integrity.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
