Well, it looks as if Re-Education Camp isn't through with me quite yet.  I've been contacted from the schools "employee assistance program," which wants me to discuss the "tense discussions" in "some of" the sessions.  

I have replied to the person contacting me that I have no idea what she's talking about---and that disagreement is a hallmark of the "diversity" which attends participation in higher education.

By the way, this would be a good time for you to declare that you “identify“ as a black woman, just to mess with ‘em.

They keep talking about how they "suggest" that I "come in to talk about" certain "tense sessions." My last message to them was as follows:

You probably won't.  They never want to identify the source of the complaints or provide details.  They want you to confess to bad things and humble yourself.  If you won't do that (and most people do so willingly) they really don't know how to respond.

I'm an adjunct---they can fire me at any time, and may well do so.  I don't know.  

But, much as I'd like the money, it's pretty minimal; I don't need it. And my evaluations have been consistently good for over a decade (not that that is necessarily a protection against a pack of feral wokies).  

I merely disagreed, in a non-groveling tone, with the barrage of bromides being dished out by the "Cohort Facilitators," i.e., political-correctness compliance officers.  And, despite their pious utterances that "all opinions are valid," or words to that effect, it appears to have perturbed them no end.

On a different subject, here's an old Disney "Silly Symphony," The Three Little Pigs.  

Note that at about 6 minutes in, the wolf disguises himself as an obviously-Jewish peddler.  I've heard this offered as evidence of Disney's alleged "antisemitism," but I'd have to disagree; aside from the fact that when this film was made there were still many Jewish peddlers, when you consider that the one thing most non-Jews know about Jews is that they do not eat pork, the wolf disguising himself as a Jewish peddler---and therefore, supposedly, not a threat to the three little pigs---is actually a very subtle and funny joke, not an example of "antisemitism" at all.

Those terrorists are preventing aid from reaching starving Gazans.

Humanitarian aid that was on its way into the Gaza Strip from Israel on Wednesday was once again shelled by Hamas terrorists.

The IDF’s The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) stated that during the entry of a shipment of civilian aid into the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom crossing, donated by Jordan, the terrorist organizations in the Strip fired three mortar shells at the crossing area.

So why isn't the world pressuring Hamas for a ceasefire?

Because they’re  a “human rights organization”.  Pelosi said so.

From the Desk of Donald J. Trump: I have just learned,

New York, New York, what a wonderful town...  Buzz, I don't know how you survive in that city.  I wouldn't survive in any city though.  I'd be one of those people wandering around aimlessly, having a huge argument with myself and my other seven personalities.  If you go to the above link, it's better if you read it using the Donald's voice, like in his rally speeches.  Speaking of rallies, they are suppose to start them again sometime in June.

Apparently Hamas doesn't believe in the right of the people they rule to get food and medical supplies. They gave the right to die for the cause of eliminating Jews, and that's about it.

Have they no shame.  The man embarrasses himself well enough on his own.  He doesn't need his own team setting him up like this.  How could anyone have voted for him.  Well, I guess we shouldn't be letting people that are 120 years old vote anymore.  Bad enough we can't get the dead people to stop voting, we don't need those old fools voting too.

I wonder who the reporter was.  It would be par for the course/too funny if they were Jewish.  I mean, the man just goes for bad optics.  It's a good thing no one notices them or cares.

If you say you "identify as" something, that is a declaration that you are not in fact that thing.

Germany is more supportive of Israel than Biden.

(Also the Czech Republic and Slovakia but those are generally supportive of Israel because they see Israel is being treated the way they were in the Munich accords)
