South Carolina Dems Fight To Prevent Universities From Teaching The Constitution

March 18, 2019 (updated December 27, 2019) Published by

South Carolina Democrats argued for more than an hour to prevent legislation that would require state universities to teach a “Constitution 101” course Tuesday. The Republican-proposed bill would update an existing 1924 requirement to teach the course, which the University of South Carolina has hitherto ignored. The legislation has already passed in the Senate, but Democrats […]

UN Council: Israel Intentionally Shot Children and Journalists in Gaza
The UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on the 2018 Gaza protests presented its conclusions, according to which 183 Palestinians were killed by Israel, including 35 children. The investigative commission of the United Nations Human Rights Council that examined the most recent round of violence on the Israel-Gaza border presented its findings on Thursday, saying it found “reasonable grounds” that Israeli security forces violated international law. The commission determined that the majority of Gaza protesters who were killed by Israeli forces –154 out of 183 people — had been  unarmed … Read More


Study Claims Dr. Seuss And His Books Are Racist
Dr. Seuss once said, “You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” And, according to a new study from St. Catherine University, that should be away from Dr. Seuss books. The study, published in the journal for Research on Diversity in Youth Literature, analyzes 50 books and more than 2,200 characters created by Dr. Seuss. Of those characters, only 45 are of colour. “The presence of anti-blackness, Orientalism and white supremacy span across Seuss’ entire literary collection and career,” say researchers Katie Ishizuka and Ramon Stephens. Ishizuka and … Read More


Congress Advances Gun Registry Via “Universal Background Checks”
Under the guise of mandating “universal background checks,” Congress is working on a gun-control plot that would ban all private sales of firearms and essentially create a national gun registry. Among other concerns, gun-rights advocates warned that the scheme would enable future confiscation of firearms by government while making countless law-abiding citizens into criminals. Whether the radical bill will become law remains unclear. But with the Senate likely to vote it down and the White House threatening a veto, gun-rights groups are cautiously optimistic while gearing up for … Read More


Freedom House released a Report on China’s Religious Freedom
Freedom House released a report on China’s religious freedom. Key Findings Controls over religion in China have increased since 2012, seeping into new areas of daily life and triggering growing resistance from believers. At least 100 million people—nearly one-third of estimated believers in China—belong to religious groups facing “high” or “very high” levels of persecution (Protestant Christians, Tibetan Buddhists, Uighur Muslims, and Falun Gong). Despite tightening controls, millions of religious believers defy official restrictions in daily life or engage in some form of direct protest, at times scoring … Read More


UN Whistleblower: Head of World Intellectual Property Agency Stole Employees’ DNA Samples
A senior UN official alleges that Francis Gurry, the Australian head of the world body’s intellectual property agency, engineered the theft of personal items from employees to extract DNA samples, and then covered it up by intimidation and by suppressing attempts to investigate it, according to a legal complaint filed recently at a UN tribunal in Geneva. The allegations are expected to hurt Gurry’s chances for reelection next week as director-general of the UN’s World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a bid already weakened amid controversy over his role in … Read More


Dr. Andrew Wakefield Publishes a Medical Paper about Possible Correlation between MMR Vaccine and Autism
Dr. Andrew Wakefield, Prof. John Walker Smith, Dr. Simon Burch, and 10 other co-authors published a paper in the Lancet, a British Medical Journal, which showed a possible correlation between the MMR vaccine and resultant gastrointestinal dysfunction along with developmental delays and autism. Though the paper itself did not state a conclusive causal effect, it did state the need for further study into the possibility that the MMR shot was to blame. Wakefield went on to publicly bring attention to the possibility, criticizing the MMR shot and calling … Read More


Four Former Clinton Bodyguards are Sacrificially Killed to Justify a Large-Scale Retaliation of the Branch Davidians in Waco?
C. LeBleu, T. McKeaham, R. Williams, S. Willis, bodyguards for Bill and Hillary Clinton, were all killed by gunfire in the illegal Waco, Texas raid on the David Koresh Branch Davidian compound. Attorney General Janet Reno aided the cover-up and Hillary Clinton gave the order according to Linda Tripp (CNN interview) and the FLIR Project. According to Ted L. Gunderson, FBI Special Agent In Charge (ret.), these men were all shot in the head in evident assassinations, not at the hands of the Branch Davidians, who took the wrap … Read More


Discovery of the Double-Helix Chemical Structure of DNA, Credited to Watson and Crick – Ignoring the Real Discoverer, Dr. Rosalind Franklin
It’s commonly believed that James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the double helix shape of DNA. But in fact, they based their work on one of their colleagues at King’s College in London – Rosalind Franklin, an x-ray diffraction expert whose images of DNA proteins in the early 1950s revealed a helix shape. It wasn’t until they saw Franklin’s work that Watson and Crick began hunting for the long, braided twist that turned out to be DNA’s true shape. Why wasn’t Franklin honored for her contributions? Many have argued … Read More
