Some people have a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality in freedom.--deTocqueville
Mick Jagger is having an open heart this week in N. Y..
Self publishing works! On Monday, the Sun reported that the health insurance giant Kaiser Permanente paid Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh $114,000 for copies of her books from 2015 to 2018. In September 2017, the city’s spending board, which Pugh controls, awarded Kaiser a $48 million contract for insurance for city employees. Pugh has not said anything about a deal with Kaiser.
This week gender activists and feminist organizations like the American Association of University Women will be promoting “Equal Pay Day” on Tuesday, April 2. This continues the wonderful tradition of just blatant mendacity that has become our cultural norm. These lies just stagger on, unchallenged, and feed the smoldering resentments of a misunderstanding minority.
"This study leads to the unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action. Indeed, there may be nothing to correct. The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers." (from a study by the Dept of Labor, 2009)
If women were paid 77 cents on the dollar, a profit-oriented firm could dramatically cut labor costs by just replacing male employees with females.
And going along with the lying: “Undoubtedly there is collusion,” Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told reporters in Washington this week. This is the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who earlier had implied that he had knowledge of the Collusion. Maybe the Left thinks the Collusion of Mass Destruction was "settled science."
We need better leaders.
And, as if we don't have enough trouble with stupidity, Catholic priests in Poland burned books they say are sacrilegious this weekend, including J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series of fantasy novels. "We obey the Word," priests said in a Facebook post showing photographs of the public book burning and quoting Biblical passages from the book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament.

The original smear against Obama was that he was a crypto-Muslim, floated in 2004 by perennial Illinois political candidate Andy Martin. Other related versions of this theory alleged that Obama was educated in an Indonesian “madrassa” or steeped in Islamist ideology from a young age, and the theories began to spread virally after Obama appeared on the national stage – to the casual observer, from nowhere – with his early 2007 presidential campaign announcement.
Obama’s controversial but emphatically Christian pastor emerged as a campaign issue and the belief that he was a Muslim seemed to lose traction.
Then, as Obama became a national candidate, the suggestion emerged that he was not eligible to serve. That theory first emerged in the Spring of 2008 as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email questioning Obama's citizenship.
"Barack Obama's mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy. She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother took him to Hawaii to register his birth," asserted one chain email that surfaced on the urban legend site Snopes.com in April 2008.

That is, the smear came from the Clinton camp. Two supporters of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign reportedly shared the claim that then-rival Barack Obama was not born in the United States and thus was not eligible to be president.

One was a volunteer in Iowa, who was fired, Clinton’s former campaign manager said Friday. The other was Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, according to a former McClatchy Washington Bureau chief. (From McClatchy Bureau)
