The Conservative Cave

I heard a several-sentence clip from her speech. She recycled the Dem-Prog lie of not distinguishing illegal immigrants from legal immigrants and claiming people who differ from her hate all immigrants. Straw man arguments - of which that was an example - are intrinsically dishonest.

If ever there was a clear-cut cause for outrage, it is the concerted campaign by Greenpeace and other nongovernmental organizations, as well as by individuals, against Golden Rice."

And in large part, our MSM have refused to acknowledge the harm Greenpeace movements have created out of thin air. With their consistent priority of reporting idealism and noble intentions over factual verifiable results, the MSM are why orgs like Greenpeace still receive public and private funding.  With factual reporting, Greenpeace would have disappeared already.
And, even after such results, Greenpeace and the press, somehow continue to congratulate themselves.
 

I miss my old healthcare plan and lower premiums.

Wisconsin Supreme Court strikes down race-based college scholarships

The Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down a state-funded scholarship program Thursday that awarded financial aid to college students based on certain racial categories — a decision that drew praise from conservative legal groups.

Dan Lennington, an attorney at the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, which represented taxpayers in the case, celebrated the ruling as a “major win.”

“Wisconsin Supreme Court holds that [Gov. Tony] Evers Admin cannot offer scholarships based on race. This is a huge win for equality & provides a ROADMAP for Wisconsin Taxpayers to challenge many other programs worth BILLIONS,” he wrote on X.

Sarah Parshall Perry, an attorney and vice president of Defending Education, also praised the ruling in an X post Thursday.

“The way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race,” Perry wrote. “Wisconsin got the message. Their Supreme Court just ruled the governor cannot administer scholarship opportunities based on race.”

The key here is the state funding. This ruling does not speak to orgs like the UNCF.

Wishing a Summer-Long Rash on Libs Who Complain About Knicks' White House Visit

The New York Knicks ended more than half a century of futility by winning the NBA Championship last week, defeating the once-vaunted San Antonio Spurs in five games. Although I am a huge sports fan, I don't have a lot emotionally invested in the NBA; ...
...
One would think that all of those fans could throw aside petty politics and enjoy the end to their frustration with some extended revelry. Ah, that's just not the way that grievance-seeking leftists do anything though, is it? Even the simplest joys have to be tainted with politics and dissected for any grievance potential.

It is customary in the United States for professional and NCAA teams that win championships in the major sports to be invited to the White House to meet the president. For a long time, it was simply a nice custom and honor that athletes got to enjoy. Now, it's a political hot potato for the virtue-signaling left that also happens to be devoid of any real virtue.

Frothing Trump Derangement Syndrome leftists see the White House visits while President Trump is in office as opportunities to do what they do best: throw tantrums. These insufferable grown-up toddlers pitch fits and demand that their beloved teams avoid going to the White House because they don't like the guy in charge. Sadly, some athletes play along with the madness.

As the Knicks are a New York team, the odds on a lot of their fanbase being comprised of obnoxious lefties were always pretty high. Before the Knicks even had their long-awaited victory parade, the whining about a potential White House visit began. ...
...
There were a lot of lefties spreading misinformation online about the Knicks having declined the invitation. James Dolan, the team's owner, has known President Trump for a long time and the president is a Knicks fan, so that was never likely. When Dolan confirmed that the team would indeed be going to the White House, the lefty fans got right to the diaper-filling:

I have no doubts that many/most/all Knicks players voted against Trump. Unlike DU-grade Progs, they seem to be able to set their partisan feelings on the shelf long enough to enjoy the honor of being guests in the White House with a long-term Knicks fan.
