    Could you please post a Farrakhan comment(s) to prove he is racist. I'm curious if our definitions of racist are seen differently.   Farrakhan not only is racist, but he is the picture of racism. He is also a cult leader. Are you part of his cult?

     "The final thing is the destruction. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us of a giant Mother Plane that is made like the universe, spheres within spheres. White people call them unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Ezekiel, in the Old Testament, saw a wheel that looked like a cloud by day, but a pillar of fire by night. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad said that that wheel was built on the island of Nippon, which is now called Japan, by some of the original scientists. It took 15 billion dollars in gold at that time to build it. It is made of the toughest steel. America does not yet know the composition of the steel used to make an instrument like it. It is a circular plane, and the Bible says that it never makes turns. Because of its circular nature it can stop and travel in all directions at speeds of thousands of miles per hour. He said there are 1,500 small wheels in this Mother Wheel, which is a half mile by-a-half-mile. This Mother Wheel is like a small human built planet. Each one of these small planes carry three bombs." --

I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years." --

  3. Many of the Jews who owned the homes, the apartments in the black community, we considered them bloodsuckers because they took from our community and built their community but didn't offer anything back to our community. When the Jews left, the Palestinian Arabs came, Koreans came, Vietnamese...and we call them bloodsuckers." --

    Farrakhan (INSERT DAVID DUKE) speaks his mind.  There's a lot of truth in what he says.  I haven't fact checked him, for those clocking what I am saying.

  5. Surely it is better to search for the meaning of life on a full, rather than an empty, stomach.

    or many decades, critics of economic development argued that rising incomes and greater material abundance did not lead to higher levels of happiness. In 1974, Richard Easterlin from the University of Southern California noted that people in richer countries were not happier than people in poor countries. Subsequent research found that the so-called Easterlin Paradox did not exist. Instead, happiness seems to

  6. So how did Mueller’s investigative team handle the case?

    Mueller issued a

    A few weeks later, the FBI released a

FBI experts eschewed analysis of the content of the letters, where it was written in bold block letters, “Death to America, Death to Israel, Allah is Great.” Instead, they focused on a “linguistic analysis,” stating that the letter’s writer was atypical in many respects and not “comfortable or practiced in writing in lower case lettering.” The FBI therefore concluded that it was likely a

    The investigators hypothesized that the attacker was a lonely American who had wanted to kill people with anthrax for some undefined time period, but then became “mission oriented” following 9/11 and immediately prepared and mailed the deadly spores while pretending to be a Muslim.

    Mueller’s FBI honed in on Steven Hatfill as the culprit — a

  7. What If Auto Garages Worked Like Public Schools?

    We don't force kids to go to mechanic school, so why do we force them to go to teacher school?

    Imagine a world in which all kids were sent to auto mechanic school for the first few decades of life.

    Some percentage of them, those destined for a future with cars and mechanical problems, would love it. It’d be a great fit for them. They’d spend their time focused on the skills they enjoy and that will bring them value in their careers as mechanics.

    For most, it would be wasteful and annoying. They’d spend years and years being prodded into memorizing and repeating facts and tasks that they don’t care much for and that bear no resemblance to what they’ll do for a career.

    Of course, those who grow up to be mechanics would think the whole system is great. They’d be genuinely baffled by people who dislike it or think it should be skipped or scrapped. They’d go on about how valuable all of the skills and habits gained in the system are for life.

    You don’t have to imagine an educational system like that because we already have it.

    Instead of mechanic school, it’s teacher school. And college is professor school.

    Public School Is Teacher School

    It’s no surprise that it’s such an epic waste for most people.

    The entire system, top to bottom, is designed by and for teachers. All the things learned and methods of learning are valuable nowhere in any part of the real world except in the academic professions. The most effective learning happens just from being around things and being in an incentive structure that rewards certain behaviors. School means you spend all your time around educators (and none of it around any other real-world professions) and in an incentive system that rewards things they like. So that’s exactly what you learn; how to live like an academic. As I’ve described elsewhere,

    It’s no surprise then that teachers and professors are baffled by people who complain about the fluorescently-lit hell of classroom-cramming and credential-chasing. They loved the whole experience, and it taught them all the stuff they needed to succeed in their careers as academics and educators. It’s also no surprise that it’s such an epic, colossal waste for most people who want to enter other parts of the vast job market.

    There’s nothing bad about auto mechanic school. But it’s easy to spot the absurdity of forcing every person to spend 12 or 16 or 20 years in it and telling them it will be valuable no matter their interests, goals, or future career. It’s no less absurd to do what we currently do and force everyone to go to professor school for most of their young lives.

  8. Leftists tend to believe that reactions to tax rates are inelastic, that an increase in marginal rates or payroll taxes have no effect on production or labor, or that a price floor such as the minimum wage has no negative effects on employment.

    Yet the very same folks want to raise "sin" taxes in order to incentivize people to quit smoking, drinking, eating fatty foods, drinking sugary drinks etc, by raising the costs of those products...
