This is one of the craziest articles I’ve read.

Hyperwoke librarian at $60,000-a-year NYC private school who believes that gender is fake outrages parents with tweet saying ‘Burn straight white male librarianship to the ground’

Parents at a ritzy Manhattan private school are outraged by its ultra-woke librarian’s declaration that gender doesn’t exist – as well as a blood-curdling call for violence against her straight white male colleagues.

Ingrid Conley-Abrams, 43 – librarian at the Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School – landed in hot water in August after parents came across a 2015 of hers saying ‘Burn White Straight Male Librarianship to the Ground.’

‘If a student posted that they want to burn down or shoot up a library they would be expelled,’ one mother told The Post, ‘In addition she’s claiming that gender is fake and she [tweeted] that she wants to keep students from matriculating in the Ivy League. Are parents aware this is what they are paying almost $60,000 a year for?’

That mother was referring to a 2020 tweet in which the librarian wrote ‘Sadly, the students at my school only go on to Ivy League colleges so I’ve truly failed them with my queer, free-wheeling godless radical hotbed of a library. :(‘

Parents also said their children have talked about how the librarian was ‘forever pushing’ books about gender identity, including Ibraham Kendi’s Stamped (For Kids): Racism, Anti-Racism and You.

Conley-Abrams is known to visit in classrooms to teach, according to The Post, and even appeared on a 2020 panel titled Talking to Children about Anatomy, Gender, Sexuality, Puberty and Pregnancy geared at discussing the topics with pre-k through first graders.

‘Ingrid was introduced as a ‘gender expert’ on the panel, which was weird enough to begin with but is typical of what’s going down at New York City private schools,’ one mother said, ‘Why is a librarian also a ‘gender expert’? And why is there a panel about talking about gender and sex and pregnancy to four and five-year-olds?’

A Columbia mother told The Post the experience with Conley-Abrams was becoming emblematic of the situation in New York City schools, and parents who disapprove feel powerless to speak up.

‘It is really difficult for parents. They don’t want any of this. They want a school aligned with their family values.’

‘But if you speak up about this publicly your kid is likely to get kicked out of school and you and your husband could lose your job. It’s not fair.’

I’m not going to dunk on these parents, I feel bad for them.

New York City public schools are shitholes of Wokeness and violence.  The few NYC public magnet schools have also gone Woke so are now actively discriminating on the basis of race.

So what are parents who want the best for their children to do?

Private school.  That’s why private schools exist.

I went to one.  My parents sent me to a private parochial college prep school.

Part of that system is that the school is supposed to be responsive to the desires of the parents.

When a few of us kids wanted AP chemistry, our parents told the school and the school hired an AP chemistry teacher with a PhD in chemistry to teach us.  He also taught AP physics when we moved on to that level.

This school has inverted that model.

The parents are held hostage.

The school hires an insane Wokey who fills the library with pedophile grooming racist Wokeness, and when the parents complain they librarian and administration threatens the parents.

This is the ultimate weaponization of identity politics.

“You will give us $60k a year and will will teach your children garbage against your will, and if you complain we will destroy your reputation with accusations of bigotry.”

That’s effectively extortion.

I’ve gone from warning about violence to actively hoping for it.

I don’t see a peaceful solution to this.

This is from the Wall Street Journal:

America’s Industrial Base Isn’t Ready for War With China

The war in Ukraine should galvanize Washington policy makers. It has demonstrated that America’s defense-industrial base isn’t up to the job of supplying the U.S. military with weapons for a prolonged conventional conflict with a major power such as China. Production lines for Stinger and Javelin missiles destined for Ukraine are stretched to capacity, with critical components no longer produced in sufficient quantity to meet demand.

The industrial competencies required for sustained conventional warfare have atrophied. In 2018 the Trump administration identified nearly 300 significant gaps across 10 “risk archetypes” in the defense industry, such as reliance on a foreign supplier, that could directly undermine the U.S. military’s ability to fight a major war. The causes of these gaps vary and are subject to debate. They range from the general decline of domestic manufacturing to Congress’s failure to ensure a predictable defense-funding cycle and from the predatory industrial policies of other nations to an assumption that America’s future wars would be quick and decisive. Whatever the causes, the status quo is profoundly dangerous.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S. had 28 shipyards capable of building oceangoing naval or merchant-marine vessels. The Navy’s ship-repair facility on Guam was closed in the 1990s, requiring substantial repair work for U.S. submarines to occur on this side of the Pacific. Only two naval shipyards and fewer than 20 dry docks remain in the Pacific Fleet area of operations, well below what the Navy needs. Most harbor cranes—essential for ship repair and construction—are built abroad, and often in China. In the event of a war, the Navy would have a hard time repairing its ships

Without a defense-industrial base that can rapidly produce and repair platforms and munitions, America’s military will be like a great football team that can play only through the first quarter. To address this weakness, the administration and Congress must make immediate, targeted investments. These should be focused on air, naval, space and munitions capabilities, including private and public shipyards, ship-repair facilities and associated infrastructure.

The U.S. may soon need to fight and win a more intense war than it has faced in decades. China won’t be deterred unless it sees that the U.S. is ready, and the industrial base is essential to that. There is no time to waste.

This article was written by Elbridge Colby, who according to his biography is:

Mr. Colby is a principal at the Marathon Initiative. He served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy and force development (2017-18). Mr. Gray is a senior adviser at the Marathon Initiative. He served as special assistant to the president for the defense industrial base (2017-18) and chief of staff of the National Security Council (2019-21).

Mr. Colby is right but missed a YUGE part of the problem.

It’s not just our defense manufacturing base, it’s our entire manufacturing base.

Our cranes from from China, but so does much of the steel to make them.

Along with the loss of manufacturing, we’ve lost the people and skills to have WWII level production.  We have atrophied across the board.

We can’t just have defense manufacturing.   We have to have manufacturing in every sector do those skilled people and resources have the ability to move and develop.

We retooled tractor factories to make tanks, and the same people who welded bucket loader bucket and forged caterpillar treads could easily transition to welding armor plate and making tank treads.

Without other manufacturing, defense manufacturing cannot survive on it’s own.

What wasn’t said, probably because this is a Wall Street publication, is that this was done to America by the financial sector.

Every outsourced job, every factory closed down and moved overseas was another Jenga block pulled out of our infrastructure base.

We were told it would make us better and our goods cheaper.

It didn’t.

It just made the financial sector richer, the middle-class poorer, and the country less strategically safe.

I know that I have become an extremist in many ways.

This was done to me.

I used to be the libertarian guy who said “of course Rubbermaid had to shut down production in South Carolina, it’s cheaper to make trash cans in China, the market makes these decisions.”

I was wrong.

We undermined our economy, our workforce, and our self sufficiency as a nation for the profit of holding companies.

So now I want to course correct, and harshly.

If tye government want to give tax incentives to build up domestic manufacturing, fine.

But I also want to take the financial, management, and consultants who did this in the first place and put them to the wall for treason.

Then I want to dump their bodies in board rooms across the country and say “you will figure out how to make America self sufficient on manufacturing again or I will have you shot for treason as well.”

Bombshell Lawsuit Sheds Light On Governor Cuomo’s Anti-Semitic Coronavirus Order

According to a new lawsuit filed by Ron Coleman and Harmeet Dhillon, Governor Cuomo issued “a targeted” executive order that particularizes coronavirus restrictions to a specific religious minority — Jews.

The audacious governor “freely and repeatedly admitted his decision was not driven by science, or data, but, by ‘fear,’” the two powerhouse lawyers wrote in a complaint on behalf of Jewish community leaders, which was filed in federal court in the Southern District of New York. The Jewish community has “been unfairly singled out by this fear-driven Executive Order due to numerous recent false and discriminatory statements directed towards these communities by Governor Cuomo,” the lawsuit explained.

You might be asking yourself at this point, how bad was the spread of coronavirus in this religious community? “They were not redlined,” Ron Coleman explained in an interview. Numerous communities actually had a higher rate of spread. But they were not targeted with a particularized Order; just the Jews.

Governor Cuomo’s anti-Semitic Order is mind-boggling, to say the least. It exceeds the bounds of leftist power-grabs amid the pandemic that we have seen from other Democrat governors. As Ron Coleman aptly expressed in his letter, it is “a particular[ly] offensive abuse of power.”

Readers of this blog know that I did a lot of coverage of how Cuomo and de Blasio treaded the Orthodox Jews of New York.

Examples include sending the Waffen NYPD to raid Synagogues during Shabbat services, hunt for Minyans and Yeshivas (prayer groups and Hebrew schools) operating in basements during the lockdown, chaining closed the gates of Jewish cemeteries, and restrictions on Orthodox neighborhoods, all while allowing or encouraging BLM riots and other Leftist agitation.

I want this proven in court.

Andrew Cuomo may have to pay damages, and I hope he does, but what I really want is to rub the faces of fellow Jews in it like a puppy who pooped on the rug.

I heard constantly how “Trump and the Republicans are antisemites” while the Left’s anti-Trump COVID hero (many called Cuomo “America’s de facto president”) was channeling his inner Hans Landa during COVID.

This is a group of children beating a grown man to death.

This is NYC. A group of kids beat a NYC taxi driver to DEATH in broad daylight. Police have arrested two scumbags, and are searching for three other teenage girls, 13, 15, and 16 years old. To make it worse, they are charging the one who landed the fatal blow with manslaughter… pic.twitter.com/6eog2ouUF1

Getting killed by a group of children is still getting killed.

Your children will never see you again.  You family will still lose you.

You don’t get a mulligan because your skull was caved in by a 15 year old instead of a 25 year old.

You must deal with the threat as it presents itself, and that threat may be a bunch of teens with hearts full of murder.

You might have to kill a child in self defense.

Be prepared for that reality.

Scene, a courtroom.

Prosecutor: “So you went to the victim’s home and proceeded to beat him to death with a ball-peen hammer.”

Defendant: “Yes, that’s correct.”

Prosecutor: “No more questions your honor.”

Defense attorney: “Can you read the DM you got from the victim into evidence?”

Defendant: Reads above DM

Me on the jury: “NOT FUCKING GUILTY!!!”

There is no way that the culture war can be resolved without violence, a probability extreme violence.

I don’t know how and I don’t know when, but we are going to go the way of Yugoslavia.

This fucking tweet from CNN is why I’m celebrating layoffs at CNN.

In all likelihood, you’re familiar with the sweet video by now. It looked like it was a beautiful moment, a moment to pause and reflect on what we teach our kids about kindness and our boys about masculinity.https://t.co/u7sanvrmJA

Only the Left could look at this and say “this is a lesson about masculinity” as though masculinity is exclusively a bad thing.

This is the zenith of sportsmanship, a trait I would consider a key component of masculinity.

Masculinity requires healthy competition, as a way to encourage men to bring out their best.

Compassion is another ideal of masculinity.  Every list of classical many viruses includes some form of temperance, mercy, compassion, or similar ideal.

In this case, we had a pitcher who threw a wild pitch that struck the opposing player in the helmet.  It was clearly an accident and tye pitcher was shaken up by that.  The struck player comforted the pitcher, acknowledging that it was an accident, and that he was alright, and it was okay to continue playing a friendly game.

Aristotle, Plato, Prudentius, and a whole host of other classical philosophers and saints could explain how this was a perfect example of masculinity.

Remember that the word Virtue, comes from the root vir meaning man.  To be properly manly was to be virtuous.

CNN decided that wasn’t the lesson.

Clearly CNN has a view of masculinity that comes out of a generation of boys raised without fathers on pop culture thats says “dads are stupid and men are jerks.”

Contrary to pop culture, we need more dead white men in school, men like Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and Marcus Aurelius.

We need to bring back the virtues of antiquity.

And we need to stop telling boys that masculinity is awful.
