Warren openly sez she is against open borders

But she is obviously lying

Not surprising you are leaning her way.

What part of "I'll vote for the candidate that closest aligns with my views. I don't have to agree with them on everything" is hard to comprehend.

But I guess I understand your confusion since Trump is the perfect candidate for your sensibilities.

I don’t see why you’re so sensitive

BTW Trump offends most of my sensibilities. Maybe I’m not in most need of more careful reading

I’m merely observing how we’re all tolerant of blatant dishonesty in service to our own political desires

See:

Warren states she’s not in favor of open borders

Warren will not admit that her healthcare plans involve a hefty hike on middle class taxes

Warren (like Trump) has a strong tendency to fabulism when it comes to her history

A large percentage of the homeless are mentally ill, and a significant portion of those are suffering from schizophrenia and are off their meds.

Not much time went by without an assault or disturbance in the homeless shelter downtown in Charleston. Including the occasional murder

We mainstreamed these people in the 1970s and emptied out the institutions. This is the result. But institutionalizing them also comes with its own inhumanity. There really isn’t a good solution

Three men in a car...no identification among the three...they try and run the gate at an Air Force base in Georgia...

Security guards pop the barriers, and the bad guys crash into the barriers...all three are dead...

“This is a tragedy which we all feel deeply at Robins Air Force Base,” Air Force Col. Katrina Stephens, 78th Air Base Wing vice commander, said in the release.”

Yeah, right Katrina

Honestly had never heard of Napolean Chagnon until reading this.

So not only was he bold enough to live in the Amazon wilderness for extended periods and live among a brutish tribe that might cut his nuts off if they suspected he wanted one of their women, he took on ideologues in anthropology that tried to ruin his career with smears for daring to suggest sexual selection and not colonialism shaped the tribe's culture.

He sounds like about the closest thing to the Dos Equis man or Indiana Jones that there is.

Progressivism is as poisonous to science as religion. Maybe even more so.

The key difference between the two is that one of them is a firmly entrenched orthodoxy in the social sciences that can destroy careers of dissident academics and the other can't get a foot in the door.

US diplomat’s wife identified after fleeing UK due to fatal crash

The wife of an American diplomat who allegedly fled the UK to avoid charges in a wrong-way crash that killed a British teenager was identified in a report on Sunday.

Anne Sacoolas, 42, claimed diplomatic immunity after hitting 19-year-old Harry Dunn’s motorcycle on Aug. 27 in Northamptonshire, England, Sky News reported.

The outlet didn’t say how they had identified the driver, who allegedly careened into Dunn while driving on the wrong side of the road outside RAF Croughton, a British air force base used by the US.

Neither she nor her husband, Jonathan Sacoolas, could be reached by The Post Sunday night.

Two questions:

1. How big was the flashlight?

2. Why didn’t your wife do it?

Give it your best shot, chizzy.

Shoddy and biased social science research informs policy under Democratic administrations.

Example: Obama's school suspension quotas were based on research that concluded racial bias contributed to difference in suspension rates. An amateur researcher showed that when you took into account previous discipline referrals the bias disappeared. That policy has been a disaster and a lot of teachers fear for their jobs if they speak up.

And there's equal work for equal pay laws based on nonexistent sex discrimination in pay and small (if it even exists) bias in police killings against blacks.

The power of the religious right is waning while power is increasing of progressives who think any kind of disparity between groups of people is the result of some "-ism" which warrants policy with real detrimental effects. The progressives will still rule in academia long after the religious right has subsided.

1. Ha on the size of the flashlight. It was one of those 350 lumen Duracell flashlight you can buy from Costco.

2. The wife was playing possum! Actually, she was making sure the youngest was staying asleep. I would rather have to clean up puke than have him running all around at 3:45 in the morning.

Now off to PetSmart for a Bissell Green Machine to clean the floor. Had planned on renting one anyway to clean the summer dirt off the few carpeted areas, but will rent it early.

But you're quoting an article where you and CID ponder the fate of hard science in the face of Liberalism

and in the article (the very article you quote)

1) the missionary was fucking and impregnating the local tribes (Not the Liberals)
2) The church was also arming the local tribes with guns and other weapons (also NOT the Liberals)
3) and church spreading measles among the native peoples along with STD's (Finally Not the Liberals)

The Liberals crime was ignoring his science

The Church meanwhile
was impregnating and spreading measles and wiping out the native people in question

Thanks for your enlightened observations

Acting Homeland Secretary Kevin McAleenan was prevented from speaking at an event Monday morning in Washington after repeated interruptions by protesters.

McAleenan, standing at the podium, immediately met vocal opposition from at least four protestors in the audience who stood with long black cloths inscribed with white writing that read, "Stand with immigrants," and "Hate is not normal."

The protestors broke into a chant, "Immigrants are under attack. What do we do? Stand up, fight back. What do we do? Stand up, fight back."

Doris Meissner, a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute, sitting beside McAleenan, pleaded with the protestors to stop. "Please, thank you very much. That's enough now. We respect your right to protest, but in respect to the audience who wants to hear the speaker, please."

But after repeated attempts to speak, McAleenan left the stage.

Ahem

I’m an atheist and it should go without saying that religion is also poisonous to science

But religions around the world do not credibly claim that they are “for science”.... but there’s a political movement that does - in America it supports the “Party of Science”

You know? The one full of adherents that tells us that we have 12 years or we’re for sure this time dead. Or that sociobiology is Nazism.

I don’t think its the Baptists

The only bias going on here is the one that makes you twitch and convulse until you can post your “yes but religion” thing so we can see it in print

It can't be both? Bias (liberal, conservative or something else) is bad for science. Western religion does tend to be bad for indigenous peoples.

Well then I think that your beef is with Pwns.

I don't give religion a pass on science but in this particular case, it was woke scientists trying to shut down another scientist for doing actual science.

All of those things you listed there are nothing but red herrings.

Asking whether or not Catholic missionaries are morally as bad as liberal ideologues in science is a different question from asking which is a bigger threat to science. I don't see how at this point that liberal ideology can't take it in a rout because they control much of the scientific establishment.

But now that you mention it, I think you could make the case the liberal orthodoxy has actually done more harm not just to science but to society in general than religion by eroding public trust in science.

No one person doubts the scientific consensus on climate change because Jesus. People doubt it because they're suspicious of academics using ecological crises to implement policies they want but otherwise couldn't get. And can you blame them? They get told by academics things that go against everyone's every-day experiences like women make less money because of sexism and little boys prefer to pretend to be soldiers instead of dads because of society's gender expectations. That erosion of trust can have dire consequences.

Pwns... as I said (already) I don't disagree with any of that
But pick a different article for Jeezus sake

You got missionary's impregnating the indigenous people whiles also spreading Measles and STDs
and arming them and increasing their inter tribal violence

Satan himself couldn't have crafted the demise of indigenous locals better

Pick a different article to go on your rant about stupid liberals
because that one highlights a 1,000 year old problem with you favorite butt buddies in robes
