    NYPD just eliminated their 600 officer anti crime unit that proactively investigated criminal rings. What a terrible decision. I wish people understood what kind of terrible people exist just under the radar. They would be shocked.

    Y’all gotta read this open letter/email that this history professor wrote to his department heads.

    He tears the whole BLM/higher-education/DNC narrative to pieces. Definitely the last thing you would expect to hear coming out of somebody working in higher education indoctrination, and certainly not one who teaches at UC Berkeley.

    If they ever do figure out who he is his career is going to be over faster than a knife fight in a phone book, hope he went all out anonymized that email because they are definitely going to stop at nothing to identify and destroy him.

    Fair warning - it’s a little long, but totally worth the read.

    I feel bad for the guy - imagine how much work must suck when every single coworker, boss, and subordinate in the organization has an extremist left wing ideology and would be lining up to burn you at the stake if you ever let it slip that you were even the slightest bit skeptical of the designated narrative.

    In fact, I just read over my previous paragraph and realized I could just as easily have been describing the workplace culture and of level of ideological freedom that somebody who got a job working for ISIS/Daesh would have. It’s hard to believe that in just the 10 short years since I graduated college, the higher education system in this country has gone from a system where you are encouraged to question ideas and think for yourself to a system where your freedom to think and question their mandated ideology is on par with that of an Islamic terrorist group.

    Richmond VA Police Chief forced out bc they used gas on protesters yesterday. People were throwing objects and hitting cops and failing to follow instructions. Richmond Mayor just said the cops should have just taken a butt whippin instead of defend themselves.

    Democrat Mayor who has higher political ambitions. Marched with protesters and then condemns the police who are protecting the infrastructure of the city and themselves as they are being assaulted.

    THAT is a very good and well written letter, but unfortunately it will fall on deaf ears, esp. it being at Berkeley ..... liberals/socialist dems will ruin this country if given the chance, with them there is no middle ground ........

    If Candance Owen's would run for President I would vote for her, so yeah. Of course, I think Jocko would be the best candidate for the job too, after all he has more than proven he is a leader. Plus, I could listen to him and his logic based reason all day. That dude just makes you want to be a better dude in every facet of your life.

    The thought police are in full effect. College football coach's 1st amendment rights threatened for wearing a tshirt. If it were a cnn shirt not a darn thing would have been said. Pathetic society we are becoming.

    If you're gonna show that; you better link to Rogan taking Owens behind the 'climate change' woodshed and giving her a spanking. To be clear; I don't believe in man-made climate change but she was unprepared to defend her position.

    I like her a lot; but she's not ready to run a construction crew much less the United States of America. Big mean men can bully her. Rogan clearly knocked her on her heels and she never recovered.

    I think it runs a little deeper than the shirt. It will be interesting to see what comes out.
