Legendary Great Ivan Koloff Dismantles Left-Wing Pseudo Historian HC Richardson, if That Is Her Real Name

By Ivan Koloff, Legendary Great

I recently received via an unsolicited email the following article authored by an alleged historian named H.C. Richardson. It begins:

Lots of folks are finally paying attention to the rise of authoritarianism here in the U.S. They are right to be concerned... Scholars have seen worrisome signs all along. Trump has dismissed nonpartisan career officials and replaced them with loyalists. He has fired the independent inspectors general. He denies Congress’s right and duty to investigate members of the Executive Branch. He has used the Department of Homeland Security and other law enforcement officers of the Executive Branch as a private army.

I responded to the sender as follows:

Thanks for sharing this article, which really made me chuckle. If I had been drinking milk when I read it, it would have come through my nose from laughing so hard.

Just to highlight a few particularly amusing references.

NOW, MORE THAN EVER: "Our Police", by Jack Levin

Given the situation that many -- if not most -- children are being educated in the home, it's imperative that regular Americans use this rare opportunity.

I have a variety of recommendations for kids of all ages, but especially important during these times of Democrat-funded anarchy and terrorism is a basic respect for the institutions of our civil society. Our police, our firefighters and our first responders have enormously difficult jobs to do, even in the best of times.

These are not the best of times. To fight the insane demands and instructions of the teacher's unions (not all members, mind you, but certainly the leadership of Communist front groups like the NEA and AFT), I would suggest reinforcing that sort of respect in our kids.

Our Police, first published in 2018, is intended for ages 4 to 8, preschool to 4th grade, and should be required reading for all kids in this age group. Bestselling author Jack E. Levin, father of multimedia pundit and superstar Mark Levin, both wrote and illustrated this invaluable contribution to the civics education of our youth.

It's inexpensive and compelling. Some kids will want to read it 30 or 40 times with you. If you don't have kids of that age, buy it for grandkids, nieces and nephews, or simply donate it to the local police station or library.

More to come on the education front shortly.

If you ever want to see how insane modern civics education has become, I refer you to a 2018 blog post entitled "TRAVESTY AT MCGRAW-HILL: Third-Grade Civics Textbook Butchers American History. This is the cockamamie crap they're teaching your kids in union-controlled schools.

JAW-DROPPING NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE REPORT: School Closures Based on Politics, Not Science

Adapted from a Twitter thread by Newman Nahas

The most important evidence regarding pediatric transmission of COVID-19 comes from Iceland, and their study published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Be suspicious of any expert ignoring this paper and discussing anecdotes instead.

The data for the study come from Iceland’s systematic screening of its population.

It was based on a population-representative sample (identified without respect to symptomatic status), and a sample based on presence of symptoms.

The study isolated SARS-CoV-2 samples from every positive case, sequenced genome of virus, and tracked the mutation patterns.

This analysis, along with contact tracing, allowed the authors to identify definitively who passed the virus to whom.

ANOTHER DNC HACK SUCCESSFUL: Liz Warren Policy Survey Unearthed

Veteran summer intern Biff Spackle has produced yet another of his amazing scoops, this time reportedly hacking typing the password “password” into Liz Warren’s Gmail account. One of the first discoveries? A form asking Democrat focus groups which of her policies they most prefer.

WARREN 2020 DEMOCRAT SURVEY

Please check all policies that you support:

Reparations
Free college
Medicare for none all (of those who didn’t pay into it)
Forgiveness of all student loans
Forgiveness of all car loans
Forgiveness of all mortgage loans
Wealth tax: 2% of everything you own, levied annually
Free candy
Free liquor
Free everything
Illegal immigrants go to the front of the line for welfare, housing, etc.
No problem, I'm sure we can all afford this new spending. We're far less than $30 trillion in debt and definitely have less than $500 trillion in unfunded liabilities.

Editor’s comment: Please note that only a handful of these positions are satirical. The rest of these Communist proposals are all 100% Cherokee. I mean Liz Warren. And, no, for you Alyssa Milano types, Biff did not actually hack Liz's accounts. Hat tip: Mark Levin.

TRAVESTY AT MCGRAW-HILL: Third-Grade Civics Textbook Butchers American History

Wondering whether elementary school students are truly indoctrinated in the left wing agenda? Well, wonder no more. They are; and it's worse -- far worse -- than you can possibly imagine.

Consider, if you will, McGraw-Hill's Our Democratic Heritage, a textbook designed for third-graders and published in 2010. If you'd assume that it was intended to teach kids about America's founding and its institutions of government, you'd assume wrong.

OUR UNIVERSITIES: A Force For Evil

By Walter E. Williams

Many of the nation’s colleges have become a force for evil and a focal point for the destruction of traditional American values. The threat to our future lies in the fact that today’s college students are tomorrow’s teachers, professors, judges, attorneys, legislators, and policymakers.

A recent Brookings Institution poll suggests that nearly half of college students believe hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment. Of course, it is.

Fifty-one percent of students think that it’s acceptable to shout down a speaker with whom they disagree. About 20 percent of students hold that it’s acceptable to use violence to prevent a speaker from speaking. Over 50 percent say colleges should prohibit speech and viewpoints that might offend certain people.

THE JIM JORDAN HIT JOB IMPLODES: Ohio State Held Hearing on Reputed Sex Abuser in... 1997

By @Brenda06135

I did some research on the story alleging that our warrior patriot, Rep. Jim Jordan was aware that his wrestling team members were being molested and did nothing about it. I'll share that now.

1. You must admit that the timing of this breaking news defies credulity.

2. Jim Jordan has made things a little uncomfortable for our DAG and I can't help but wonder if this 'investigation' into allegations involving a sports team doctor who died 13 years ago could be on the order of a little 'tit for tat.'

3. I wondered how it was possible to investigate the actions of a dead man until I read that Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said his next step would be to determine if there was criminal obstruction —if the alleged misconduct was properly reported and then ignored.

Yo, @CollegeBoard: You'll never guess how AP History Books are describing the election of Donald J. Trump

Courtesy of Alex On Air, we find these wonderful lessons in civics. You know, exactly what you'd expect from Advanced Placement (AP) textbooks written by Leftist kooks.

Time to End K-12 Indoctrination, Bias and Racism

By Daniel Greenfield

Hampton Middle School has a problem.

The school in Hampton, Georgia managed to make national news twice in one week. 

A sixth-grade teacher from the school was caught on tape ranting against Trump’s slogan of Make America Great Again. “Maybe he’s talking about it was great during segregation in the ‘60s. Is that what he’s talking about?”

“He must be talking about when it was great for Europeans," Johnetta Benton sneered. "Because when it comes to minorities, America has never been great for minorities."

FAUXCAHONTAS: The Tall Tale Of Sen. Warren's Native American Ancestry Explained

By MagaMan

A reminder for everyone covering the President’s joke about Senator Elizabeth Warren:

  1. Elizabeth Warren lied about her ancestry for years.
  2. She has never told the whole story as to why she listed herself as a Native American for nine years (perhaps because she used it to get ahead at law schools that were desperate for minority professor representation at the time.)
  3. In 2012, she was forced to backtrack on multiple explanations for why she did it, and to this day still hasn’t provided a clear answer as to what exactly happened.
  4. She has never provided any documentation proving she is a Native American (and most independent analysis also says there is no proof).

Here is the real story behind Warren's lies misstatements:

BEN SHAPIRO: Violence, Censorship and Totalitarianism on Campus

By Ben Shapiro

I speak on dozens of college campuses every year, so I have first-hand experience with the anti-First Amendment activities that have been taking place on some of our college campuses. I’ve encountered anti-free speech measures, administrative cowardice, even physical violence on campuses ranging from California State University at Los Angeles to University of Wisconsin at Madison which is driving the legislation that Ms. Demings was talking about, to Penn State University to UC Berkeley. And I am not alone.

In order to understand what’s been going on at some of our college campuses, it’s necessary to explore the ideology that provides the impetus for a lot of the protesters who violently obstruct events, pull fire alarms, assault professors and even other students — and the impetus for administrators who all too often humor these protesters. Free speech is under assault because of a three-step argument made by the advocates and justifiers of violence.

THE IVY LEAGUE AIN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE: Harvard Chair Joyce Chaplin Claims U.S. Created in 1783 via Paris Agreement

This is so much fail, I suspect some considering Harvard are now contemplating online degrees from the U. of Phoenix. Which is probably teaching the subject of American history better than the far left nutjob Joyce E. Chaplin, if that is her real name.


Some of the reactions on Twitter were priceless:

The People of the Bubbles

Imagine you are flying over an American suburb in Middle America, say in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, or Pennsylvania.

You hover over a cul de sac, where kids ride tricycles and Moms share a glass of wine after work and chauffering their charges around to soccer practice.

In fact, you can see that most of the homes are inhabited by two-parent families. If you asked the parents' primary motivation for living in suburbia, most would tell you they've moved for the K-12 education the local school district affords.

These families have also moved for a certain quality of life, mobility and access to grocery stores and malls. Life for many is relatively easy. Certainly there are worries: how to pay for college 10 years hence or how to fund the roofing contractor who says he can fix the worsening leak in the family room.

For good or bad, these families are living in a bubble of our society's creation. Problems in this bubble are those of the First World.

Repeal and Replace Our Universities

By Lawrence Sellin

The political left has made a complete pig's breakfast of our educational system.

Safe Snowflake Schools for Socialism.

Political intolerance is now the official policy at colleges and universities across the United States with violence or the threat thereof as the means of enforcing extreme leftist orthodoxy.

ACADEMIA: The New Gestapo

By Richard L. Cravatts

When Chester Evans Finn, Jr., a former United States Assistant Secretary of Education, observed in 1989 that university campuses had become “islands of repression in a sea of freedom,” he was anticipating a troubling and prevalent trend now poisoning academia, namely, the suppression of free speech. With alarming regularity, speakers are shouted down, booed, jeered, and barraged with vitriol, all at the hands of groups who give lip service to the notion of academic free speech, and who demand it when their speech is at issue, but have no interest in listening to, or letting others listen to, ideas that contradict their own world view.

You won't believe the 50 websites Harvard has labeled "Fake News"

Your betters at the Harvard University Library have published a guide to "Fake News Sites" that includes a bevy of real news sites that happen to lean right. Among them: the Heritage Foundation, Conservative Review, and Wikileaks, the latter of which has revealed (whether you agree with its approach or not) some very real news indeed.

This, my friends, is a dangerous game. Just as Snopes and Politifact are reliable Democrat public relations outlets (remember when the latter played both sides on ‘If You Like Your Plan, You Can Keep It’?), anyone claiming to be an arbiter of truth is inherently suspect.

Because progressives always get it wrong, I'll repeat. The market is the only arbiter for media. The marketplace of ideas dictates who wins and loses.

Based upon a simple comparison of ratings, MSNBC and CNN are considered very, very fake news when it lines up against Fox News. And which means National Public Radio is also faux news.

Some here's my list of the top 50 sites labeled by Harvard as 'False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and Satirical “News” Sources':

DON'T LOOK NOW: But There's a New Generation of Racists Operating Freely on Campus

By John Perazzo

The Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA), or “Chicano Student Movement,” describes itself as an organization that urges young Chicanos (people of Mexican ancestry living in the United States) to use “higher education” and “political involvement” to promote “cultural and historical pride,” “liberation,” and “self-determination” among their people. In practice, MEChA aggressively promotes anti-Americanism and anti-white hatred by relentlessly stoking the fires of racial and ethnic grievance among Latino students.

GEE: I wonder what political party controls the worst states to raise your family?

The big government fanatics at Business Insider have an interesting video purporting to show the "best and worst states to raise your family."

You'll never guess which political party controls the very worst of the very worst states.


Shhh... no one tell the midget economedian Paul Krugman.

LEVIN ON THE CALEB O'NEIL SCANDAL: Don't spend a cent on colleges that teach Leftist indoctrination

By Chris Pandolfo

Thursday evening on "The Mark Levin Show," Conservative Review's editor in chief covered the story of Southern California college freshman Caleb O'Neil, who was suspended for videotaping his instructor vilifying President Trump after the election.

The professor in question, a gay Latina, referred to Trump’s election as an “act of terrorism.” O’Neil took the recording to the local chapter of College Republicans, which shared the video after complaints to school administration led nowhere. For this, he was punished.
