How racist can diversity, inclusion and&nbsp;equity get? <a href="https://alphanews.org/minneapolis-teachers-union-contract-calls-for-layoffs-of-white-teachers-first/">This racist.</a>

<blockquote>
	
		A Minneapolis teachers union contract stipulates that white teachers will be laid off or reassigned before “educators of color” in the event Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) needs to reduce staff.

	
		After the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT) and MPS&nbsp;struck a deal&nbsp;on March 25 to end a 14-day teacher strike, the two sides drew up and ratified a new collective bargaining agreement complete with various proposals.

	
		James Dickey, senior trial counsel at the Upper Midwest Law Center (UMLC), says the racial component violates both the Minnesota and United States constitutions.

	
		“The [collective bargaining agreement] … openly discriminates against white teachers based only on the color of their skin, and not their seniority or merit,” Dickey told Alpha News. “Minneapolis teachers and taxpayers who oppose government-sponsored racism like this should stand up against it.”

	It's blatantly illegal,<a href="https://thechalkboardreview.com/report-minneapolis-will-fire-white-teachers-first/"> especially after more</a> recent Supreme Court decisions on the subject. That said, affirmative action is almost universally practiced at the federal and state level, and is equally illegal.&nbsp;

<blockquote>
	
		Hans Bader, a constitutional lawyer, says that the measure is&nbsp;outright unconstitutional.&nbsp;

	
		“When it comes to termination…an employer can’t racially discriminate even against whites. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 1996 [Taxman v. Board of Education of Piscataway] that an school district can’t consider race even as a tie-breaker, in deciding who to lay off, even to promote diversity, because that (a) unduly trammels the white teacher’s rights…and (b) putting that aside, the school district couldn’t consider race to promote diversity when black people weren’t seriously underrepresented in its workforce as a whole,” Bader wrote.&nbsp;

	
		Bader also argued that the Third Circuit’s ruling is strengthened by a 1989 Supreme Court ruling (Wygant v. Jackson Board of Education) that stated that “a school district can’t lay off white teachers to remedy societal discrimination against blacks.“&nbsp;

	Minneapolis has been ground zero for the racist war&nbsp;on America. And educrats are spinning as "seniority disrupting". And it turns out that miniature versions of this <a href="https://www.startribune.com/new-minneapolis-teacher-contract-language-disrupts-seniority-to-protect-educators-of-color/600179265/">are already</a> in place.

<blockquote>
	
		&nbsp;Some districts, however, including Robbinsdale Area Schools, have agreements that protect probationary teachers — defined as those with less than three years of experience — beyond the last-in, first-out order if they better reflect student demographics.
</blockquote>


	So now they're field-testing an undisguised version of this racist policy.

<blockquote>
	
		"It can be a national model, and schools in other states are looking to emulate what we did," said Edward Barlow, a band teacher at Anwatin Middle School and a member of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers executive board.&nbsp;

	
		Barlow, who is black, has worked in Minneapolis schools since 1989. He's proud of the new provisions in the contract, but he said it's now up to the district to live out the values represented in those words.

	
		"There's so much more than seniority at stake here," he said.

	
		"This is a bigger conversation about working conditions, compensation, and microagressions and macroagressions in the workplace," he said. "Those are the pieces that this district also needs to reflect on and make some motions to improve."
</blockquote>


	A basic question though is whom does the union represent? Certainly not the majority of teachers. Like most unions, it represents a radical leftist cause to which it is happy to sacrifice its members, knowing that if any rise up and protest, it can rally lynch mobs to have them canceled.&nbsp;

	The IRGC is Iran's terror hub. But Obama and Biden opposed placing sanctions on it and putting it on the foreign terror list. The IRGC was just busted soliciting terror attacks on Bolton and other former Trump administration members. The odds are good <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/88qxvz/salman-rushdie-hadi-matar-revolutionary-guard">that they solicited</a> or at least encouraged the Rushdie stabbing attack.

<blockquote>
	
		The 24-year-old man accused of stabbing author Salman Rushdie had been in direct contact with members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on social media, European and Middle Eastern intelligence officials told VICE World News.

	
		A NATO counterterrorism official from a European country said the stabbing had all the hallmarks of a “guided” attack, where an intelligence service talks a supporter into action, without direct support or involvement in the attack itself.

	
		A Middle Eastern intelligence official said it was “clear” that at some point prior to the attack, Matar had been in contact with “people either directly involved with or adjacent to the Quds Force,” referring to the Revolutionary Guard’s external operations force.&nbsp;

	
		“It’s unclear the extent of the involvement, if this was a directly supported assassination attempt or if it was a series of suggestions and directions in picking a target,” said the official, who could not speak on the record for diplomatic reasons.

	
		“A 24-year-old born in the United States did not come up with Salman Rushdie as a target on his own,” the Middle Eastern intelligence official said. “Even an avid consumer of Iranian propaganda would have some difficulty finding references to Rushdie compared to all the other, modern enemies, designated by the regime.”

	
		Matar’s family hail from the South Lebanese town of Yaroun, an area deeply sympathetic to Iran and its local proxy Hezbollah.
</blockquote>


	Authorities and the media however are <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/salman-rushdie-is-talking-after-being-taken-off-ventilator-family-says-11660492155">still searching</a> for the motive.

<blockquote>
	
		Hadi Matar, the 24-year-old man&nbsp;accused of stabbing&nbsp;acclaimed novelist&nbsp;Salman Rushdie, had no prior criminal history, and authorities said they have yet to determine a motive for the attack against the man targeted by Iran’s leader more than 30 years ago.&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	Global warming? Systemic racism? Income inequality?


	Wait, I know. The old standby "mental illness."


	What else could possibly explain why a pro-Iran Shiite Muslim whose family hails from Lebanon would want to kill one of the top targets of the terror regime.

Rushdie Stabber Was In Touch With Iran's IRGC Terror Network

In response to the McCaul report from the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Biden's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden regime trotted out partisan hack Adrienne Watson from the NSC to launch an unhinged barrage of lies thinly disguised as a memo.


	The Biden NSC take, which could have been written by the Iraqi Information Minister, claims that Al Qaeda isn't reconstituted in Afghanistan, after just doing a victory lap for taking out its leader, and then insists that it was completely prepared for a rapid Taliban takeover.

<blockquote>
	
		Claim: The Biden administration was not prepared for the speed of the Taliban retaking Kabul and an evacuation.

	
		Reality: Former President Trump’s 2020 agreement with the Taliban: &nbsp;Agreed to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by May 1 2021, without conditions &nbsp;Released 5,000 Taliban fighters from prison &nbsp;Invited the Taliban to Camp David
</blockquote>


	Look, a squirrel!&nbsp;


	While Trump's agreement with the Taliban was bad, Biden's withdrawal was absolutely terrible. The claim and reality are disconnected. Biden did what he had proposed doing all along before Trump was even elected. Blaming Trump for it is pathetic even for this incredibly pathetic administration which takes responsibility for none of its disasters.


	Secretary of State Blinken, along with other administration members, have come out and said that they were not prepared and were not expecting a rabid Taliban takeover. The entire thing has been more than amply reported.


	The key criticism all along has been that Biden failed to pull civilians out before the military. Period.


	Watson isn't just denying the contents of the GOP report, she's spreading ridiculous lies and spin about facts that the media long ago reported on, including the lack of prep for SIV evacuations.


	And yet the fact checkers will never touch her or this administration of liars.

Expect a lot of moaning when this happens, which it very well could.


	Despite seemingly being out forever, or at least back in May, the Tom Cruise sequel just climbed back up to third place this weekend. Top Gun Maverick has blown through the year's box office stats, but with a $673,822,000 domestic gross (as of now), it's on track to break box office records. These days that list is dominated by Disney/Marvel's comic book garbage machine.


	Top Gun Maverick has already blown past The Avengers and Titanic. It seems very likely to suprass Avengers: Infinity War. And at $700 million, it would pass Black Panther. While these are all garbage comic book movies, (there are good comic book movies, these aren't it), Black Panther has been adopted by black nationalists. The death of its lead actor was treated as up there with George Floyd's drug overdose death. You can see Kamala Harris doing a Wakanada Forever salute.


	Short version, don't expect these folks to take it well.


	Top Gun Maverick has another $27 million to go to pass Black Panther in the domestic box office. If studio releases continue to underperform as the summer drags on, it might do it.

It's not a good year for Obama.


	You may recall the Raila Odinga story from the Obama administration when ties between the Kenyan Muslim radical and the... other Kenyan Muslim radical made headlines. <a href="https://gellerreport.com/">Pamela Geller </a>covered the story extensively at the time, but with the current Google censorship and the general state of the internet, I'm having trouble finding materials.

<blockquote>
	
		"This is not Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign. He campaigned for a man who has boasted of being his cousin named Raila Odinga. His slogan was “Vote For Change.” Sound familiar? Odinga’s platform had a socialist ring to it. He also got the support of Kenyan Muslims by advocating “shaaria” or Islamic law in areas with large Muslim populations. The election was close, with allegations of fraud. Supporters of Obama’s cousins staged violent protests which degenerated into pogroms.In one recorded case, a church was burnt down with women and children in it by Odinga supporters. The United Nations ended up rewarding Odinga’s thuggery with a position in a national unity type government."
</blockquote>


	Pamela Geller wrote at the time, "The recent revelations of&nbsp;Obama's ties to Raila Odinga in Kenya&nbsp;are disconcerting as well, because Odinga is behind the terrible violence in his country. It was he who instigated bloody riots and killing after he lost the election. Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenyan government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge." And while there are few angels in Kenya, Odinga is the source of great unrest and turmoil; and the MOU he signed with the Muslim Council to institute&nbsp;sharia&nbsp;is a foreshadowing of a dark fate for Kenya."


	In one of the few pieces of good news from abroad, Obama's cousin hasn't <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/15/africa/ruto-wins-kenya-presidency-intl/index.html">done so well </a>in the latest election.

<blockquote>
	
		Kenya’s Deputy President William Ruto has been elected as the country’s next President, the electoral commission announced Monday.

	
		Ruto won with 50.49% of the vote, narrowly defeating veteran opposition leader and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who was contesting his fifth election.

	
		He will become Kenya’s fifth President since independence, winning the seat on his first attempt. Ruto’s party, the Kenya First coalition, has won a majority of seats in Kenya’s senate, the second highest in the National Assembly.

	
		During a speech Monday, Ruto said: “It was God that brought us here … my team and I will make sure that the sacrifices made by many Kenyans is not in vain … we will not let them down. I am confident that this country will come together and we can move forward as one democratic nation.”
</blockquote>


	Ruto is a vocal Christian.

<blockquote>
	
		Analysts had predicted a win for Odinga, given his performance in&nbsp;opinion polls&nbsp;and the support he enjoyed from outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta.

	
		But Ruto’s populist “man-of-the-people” approach, which rejected political dynasties and played on anti-elite sentiment in the country, endeared him to voters.
</blockquote>


	Maybe Odinga can move into the Obama mansion. I hear there's plenty of room even though Barry and Michelle use separate bedrooms.
