NEA teachers dance to 'N'-word, sex lyric

 

 (WARNING: This story includes a video and rap song lyrics of a sexually explicit nature and may offend some readers.)

Educators boogie to 'When it's over you ain't gon need ya vibrator'

At its 2013 national convention in Atlanta last week, the National Education Association encouraged teachers to dance to a sexually explicit rap song that featured the “N”-word and declared, “When it’s over you ain’t gon need ya vibrator.”

The NEA, a nationwide labor union that represents public school teachers, played the song titled, “Wobble,” by V.I.C. at its “Raise Your Hand” conference – which was publicized as an event focused on “empowering educators to lead.”

In a video of the incident posted by EAG News, dozens of union delegates – mostly women – can be seen enthusiastically boogying and shaking their backsides to the lewd rap lyrics.

At the same conference, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel asked a massive crowd, “Do you believe that our 3 million members know how to improve student success? Do you?! Do you?!

Black mobs go 'bang' on July 4th

With dozens of episodes of black mob violence in more than 15 cities over the Fourth of July, it is tempting to start with Chicago.

Chicago was the site of several cases of black mob violence during the holiday fireworks, which city officials and local media downplayed or ignored.

But the real story this year is not just that black mob violence is raging in places like Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta and St. Louis.

But racial violence is also striking smaller places like Greensboro, Buffalo, Wilkes-Barre, Tulsa, Cedar Rapids, Seaside Heights, Memphis, Fredericksburg, Uniondale, Fall River, Lincoln, Kingston, Utica, Manchester, and Indianapolis. And more.

“Calculate The Value Of The Union”—The South vs. America’s Immigration Disaster

Via Bill

Harold Meyerson [Email him] recently gloated that "the South may soon undergo an epochal political change" because of the Amnesty/ Immigration Surge bill. In the meantime, Meyerson advocated building a border fence "in the right place" from Norfolk to Dallas which would keep America safe from "the all-round fruitcakery of the right-wing white South." "Start the border fence in Norfolk, Va." [Washington Post, June 25, 2013]

I would like VDARE.com readers to ponder the implications of Meyerson's ingenious thought experiment on the last fifty years of U.S. immigration policy. In this thought experiment, 15 Southern states (Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia) seceded from the Union in the year 1965 and constructed a double-layered border fence along the Potomac and Ohio Rivers which wraps around Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas down to the Mexican border.

This border fence separates a restored Confederacy—the "Republic of Dixie"—from the restored Union—the United States of America. What would the last fifty years of American immigration policy have looked like in an independent Southern Republic without the interference of the "damnyankee"?

Is Egypt heading for holy war?

Via Cousin John

Even posing that question will annoy many. 

Away from the troublespots, life for millions of Egyptians continues as normal. Egypt's most fundamental problems are more economic than political.

But in a week when the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood called for "an uprising by the great people of Egypt against those trying to steal their revolution with tanks", when dozens were killed in clashes between the army and Islamists and when the grand sheikh of al-Azhar warned of a civil war, an awkward question hovers in the air.

Is Egypt now prone to a new "holy war" fought by Islamists against the authorities?

Extremist minority
 
There are plenty of grounds for optimism that the Arab world's most populous country should be able to avoid a descent into wide-scale, fanatical, religiously-inspired violence following the ousting of President Mohammed Morsi last week.

Having lived there twice, for several years, I have experienced first-hand how good-natured, generous and mostly tolerant Egyptians can be. 

There are extremists in their midst but they are in a minority. Their views, however noisily they are broadcast, do not represent the bulk of the population.

Egypt has also survived worse crises within living memory: the assassination of its president by a jihadist cell in 1981 and an Islamist insurgency that killed more than 700 people in the late 1990s, culminating in the massacre of 58 foreign tourists at Luxor in 1997.

Poll: Edward Snowden is a whistleblower to majority of Americans, not a traitor

Via Billy

To some, he might be a traitor.

But – by far – he's not to most. To most, he's merely a whistleblower.

In a new Quinnipiac poll, 55 percent of respondents said NSA leaker Edward Snowden is a whistleblower, while only 34 percent said he is a traitor.

That finding held true across all demographics except for black voters, Quinnipiac reported. They were split on Snowden's role, with 43 percent responding that Snowden is a traitor, and 42 saying he's a whistleblower.

Even Republicans and Democrats were close – 38 percent of Republicans said "traitor" versus 39 percent of Democrats, and 55 percent of Republicans said "whistleblower" compared to 49 percent of Democrats.

Armed Citizen in SC Helps to Stop Dangerous Crime Spree by Two Armed Robbers

Roundabout via Steven

 

Posted yesterday, but dated.

Two robbery suspects were captured last week with the help of an unidentified armed citizen in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. The suspects are responsible for at least two recent robberies in the area and possibly up to four, according to a local ABC affiliate.

The two men entered a gas station Wednesday night with their faces covered and armed with a gun and demanded money from the clerk. Once they had cash in hand, they turned to leave, but shot at the clerk on their way out. Fortunately, the bullet only grazed the clerk, causing a small cut to his arm, a minor non-life threatening injury.

But unfortunately for the suspects, there was an armed citizen outside of the store which witnessed the incident as it happened. That man pulled out his own firearm and detained 17-year-old Deion Watson at gunpoint until police arrived. The other suspect, 23-year-old Markel Jovan Wright ran off, but was captured the following day in Huger by U.S. Marshals.

Both suspects remain behind bars, charged with armed robbery for two robberies that happened within days of each other. Police are still investigating the suspects’ possible involvement in at least two other robberies.

NC: Sandy waits for a taste of steak

Via Cousin John

 

The smell of perfectly grilled rib eye steaks floated through the summer air. Sandy the farm hound inhaled the delicious smell as she waited in the bed of the truck for the Baker family. The Bakers were eating their meal inside the Beef Mastor Inn, one of their favorite places to eat a juicy steak, baked potato and a fresh salad. Sandy and her 1-year-old puppy, Fudge, paced back and forth every time the door to the restaurant opened, as they sniffed the air.

The parking lot at the restaurant was packed with cars as it was on Friday evenings. Several Wilson residents and visitors waited in their cars with their air conditioners purring. When they would see a waiter come to the door, they would roll down their windows to see if the waiter was calling their name for the next available table. Other customers were sitting on their tailgates or standing around talking while they waited.

Sandy and Fudge watched as the people visited with each other and would then head into the restaurant. Some people were dressed up. Others were dressed casually in shorts and T-shirts. There were children and grown-ups. There were different kinds of people with different kinds of cars and trucks. But no other dogs were to be seen anywhere.

A soft summer wind blew Sandy’s fur as she sat there quietly observing everything around. Fudge was now lying down taking a snooze. The Baker family had been in the restaurant for a while now. They had been welcomed at the front door by the owner of the Beef Mastor, Chad, who was grilling steaks to perfection.

"Hey, Shug,” Chad said to 6-year-old Emma Baker as he flipped a steak on the open grill. There was hardly room for the people heading to the cash register as the Bakers were shown to their table. It was shoulder to shoulder. The cozy accommodations were part of the fun at Beef Mastor. It wasn’t fancy, just good and comfortable. And if somebody thought it was going to be fancy, they forgot about it when they tasted the food.

How to land an airplane if you are not a pilot

Via Daily Timewaster

 

At the flight school people always ask me:

"Can I land a plane? I have X years of flight simulator experience."

Short answer is: history shows you will probably die. Probably not because it is difficult but because you don't know what you don't know. Flight simulators distort important aspects of landing airplanes:

 your awesome 200 degrees/3D vision, the muscle mechanics of flying and the notion of distance. In fact, flight simulators are harder than the real thing. Yet, many in the flight school I teach landed without the need for intervention in their first flight. I landed an airplane for the first time when I was 11 years old. With a bit of luck you can do this by yourself. So, in case of an emergency, this is what you could do...

(TL;DR at the end)

There are many types of airplanes, but when it comes to landing there is pretty much two classes:

heavy and light. This is more related to lift/weight ratio (and wing type) than actual the size of the airplane. I will show you how you can land light airplanes in the easiest way possible, as long as first you open any flight simulator right now (xplane for iphone is ok) and understand the basic controls (pitch, roll, yaw) and the relationship between speed and angle of attack. Playing with it for 10 minutes (at low speeds) should suffice. The basic mechanics are good enough. Keep in mind that brains are incredible machines and can learn things automagically, but you need to stay calm. For instance, my wife learned to keep an airplane flying without one single instruction.

The pilot died, now what?
