Faced With Questions About Forced Labor in China, the I.O.C. Is Tight-Lipped

Informal efforts to arrange a conversation between the I.O.C. and the Coalition to End Forced Labor in the Uyghur Region — a group of more than 300 organizations established last year — began in May, according to Mr. Freeman. Finally, in the fall, the I.O.C. invited the coalition to send a formal request to meet, which it did, on Oct. 8.

Officials at first offered a written response instead. In an email on Oct. 29, Ms. Martowicz, the head of human rights, replied to Mr. Freeman to say that the I.O.C.’s sourcing policies banned forced labor. But she did not say how the I.O.C. enforced that ban, other than “from time to time” “engaging with our suppliers” — in other words, the companies themselves — “to request evidence of compliance.”

Third-party checks, she added, were something the I.O.C. “will be looking at” in “coming months.”

Critics say the I.O.C. has been slow to adopt a human rights framework, compared with corporations or even other global sports…

Joe Must Go Is What the Democrats Are Saying About 2024

The most popular President of all-time has found himself looking up in the approval polls, and now the word from inside the beltway is the most popular President in the history of the world is now going to face challengers in the 2024 primary for a number of reasons that range from, “He’s not insane lefty loon enough” to “I knew Joe Biden, and that’s not Joe Biden, it must be some kind of meat puppet.”
Ok, so I am paraphrasing liberally, but the gist is real the choir of leftist sycophants and sheep has somehow found itself out of harmony, and now factions are forming and spoiling to be the head of the snake the DNC is currently building.  That means Joe gets primaried, and it couldn’t happen to a less aware guy, the most popular President in the history of the world, Joe “reads everything on the teleprompter” Biden.

Progressives Let Loose on Joe Biden’s Age and Issues, Say There Will Be a Challenger in 2024 – RedState

There’s been a lot of quiet speculation on the left about Joe Biden’s ability to run again, much less whether or not he would stand a chance given how unpopular he is at this point.

As we previously noted, even reliable Democratic media organs like CNN were throwing up thoughts about who might run in 2024, “if” Joe Biden “decided” not to run. Their choices showed the problem of just how weak the Democratic bench is. Kamala Harris also showed that she hadn’t been advised on the issue of whether Biden was running again when she said last month they hadn’t even talked about it. That, despite White House Press Psaki saying in November that Biden was running again. As we noted, polls indicate he would not fare well against President Donald Trump and most Americans doubted his mental fitness and almost two-thirds thought him too old for the office.

Now some of that speculation is getting louder and just a bit more pointed when it comes to Joe Biden’s issues….

Biden Commits to “Act Decisively” If Russia Tou

President Joe Biden is alleged to have told Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, that the United States and its allies will “act decisively” if Russia invades his country.  The comment came through a phone call the President made to the Ukrainian President from his Wilmington, Delaware home, where he headed after he had declared that there was no federal solution to the covid problem.

Joe Biden vows US to act decisively if Russia invades Ukraine

WILMINGTON: President Joe Biden conferred on Sunday with Ukraine‘s leader over the Russian troop buildup near its border, promising that the US and allies will act “decisively” if Russia further invades the Eastern European nation.
Biden and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy‘s call came as the US and Western allies prepared for a series of diplomatic meetings to try to de-escalate a crisis that Moscow said could rupture ties with Washington.
“President Biden made clear that the United States and its allies and partners will respond decisively if Russia further invades Ukraine,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement following the call.
Psaki added that Biden underscored his commitment to the principle of “nothing about you without you,” the tenet that it won’t negotiate policy that impacts Europe without its allies’ input.
Biden has spoken of hitting Russia with economy-jarring sanctions if it moves on Ukraine’s territory, but he said last month that US military action is not on the table.

A public-funded university, the University of Memphis, is using those same public funds to pay college professors as much as $3,000 a class to pollute their teaching with anti-American wokism designed by privileged white professors and funded and enforced by billionaires and their international, unaccountable corporations for the purpose of destroying the Bill of Rights values of Americans so that corporations can more easily directly control us.

Of course, the DNC, the party, the new nation these collaborators and co-seditionists are ultimately building, is fully welcoming of an international corporate tyranny that forces DNC values on all Americans, in every part of every life where corporations control our sustainability.

Wokism, CRT, Social Justice, whatever you want to call the vehicle of power the DNC and its corporate collaborators is using, is a direct assault on the very notion of due process, rule of law, of a government bounded by the rights of its citizens, of a government OF the people, the whole people, equally, not diminished according to identity.
Wokism demands guilt first, with no hope of innocence, for no trial would be allowed, lest they platform undesirable opinions. Wokism, CRT, DNCism, is a direct assault on equality and justice, the very words it hides its racism and bigotry behind.

Wokism is violence and hate and sedition against the American way of life, a Bill of Rights Life, and the University of Memphis, funded by American tax dollars, is attempting to pay its professors to push that hatred and sedition into the hearts of our children, and it does so with impunity, in the land of the fleeing, it would seem.

But their time is short, for today’s technological reality of power heavily favors individuals and small-scall free associations. They hold on so desperately, using any debased morality code they can, so long as it keeps us from seeing the true reality of power.

It is better for our children to grow hating and shaming themselves for identities than to realize 3D printers and mesh networks and private currencies are making it possible for us to build right where we are, and to build in new places the power to reject the attempts by the DNC and its corporate collaborators to overthrow the American Republic and replace it with the DNC state, where children grow to hate their parents and desperately seek approval from strangers in authority.

Public University Offers Professors Cash To Go Woke

A public Tennessee university is offering professors financial incentives for “infusing” social justice into their classes.

The University of Memphis told faculty they could collect a $3,000 stipend for redesigning their curricula to align with the university’s commitment to “diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice,” according to an email sent to all faculty obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The offer is part of the university’s “Eradicating Systemic Racism and Promoting Social Justice Initiative.”

Interested faculty are asked to submit a copy of syllabi to be reworked as well as a 500-word “narrative” on their “diversity, equity, and inclusion philosophy” and how the new lessons will “address disparities” in their subject area.

The University of Memphis’s offer is part of a growing trend on college campuses, where…

NJ Law Protecting Public Officials Could Violate Freedom of Press, Speech

As is too often the case, when government attempts to create laws to protect government officials, it clashes with the rights of the American people.  US District Judge Esther Salas’ son was murdered and her husband wounded when a gunman tracked down her home address and invaded her home, intending to kill her.  He later killed himself.  As a result, the Judge joined the effort to pass a law called Daniel’s Law, named  after her son,   The law passed in New Jersey and now the US Congress is considering creating a similar law.

The law makes it illegal to publish private information about public officials, but critics say the law is far too broad and offers far too little carve-outs to allow for basic gatekeeping journalism.

Every parent’s worst fear is losing a child. For U.S. District Judge Esther Salas and her husband, Mark Anderi, that horrific fear was realized on July 19, 2020.

That night, the couple were celebrating the 20th birthday of their son, Daniel, when a gunman posing as a delivery driver rang the doorbell of their New Jersey home. He shot Daniel to death and Anderi three times, wounding him. The gunman, a self-described “anti-feminist lawyer” named Roy Den Hollander, was found dead a day later with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

According to ABC News, Hollander, who had appeared in Judge Salas’ courtroom months earlier, had compiled a detailed dossier about the judge, her family and other people he wanted to kill, including at least one other judge. Hollander also published an autobiography online, in which he attacked Judge Salas’ ethnicity.

The tragedy motivated Judge Salas to push for passage of “Daniel’s Law,” which makes it a crime to publish the personal information of New Jersey judges and law enforcement officials. The proposal became law in the Garden State in November — and a similar proposal is making its way through Congress.

CNN Makes Ben Dover Famous by Airing H

I’m sure many of you missed this on New Year’s Eve. Dollars to donuts whatever you were doing, you were not watching CNN. Just because, eww gross. But at least two people were. One of them created enough fake Twitter accounts to troll the broadcast, in a prank that would have landed him on our 2021 list of “Everyday Heroes, Legends, and Patriots Who Just ‘Don’t Give a F***’.” The other was the person who recorded the troll’s handy work and shared it on social media for our enjoyment.

“These are all fake tweets. Ben Dover. Now, look at the next one–CNN is throwing up fake Twitter names–Mike Oxlong. This is CNN. You would think they would have someone screening this sh*t. Who’s this one? Anita Blackman. What the f*ck?”

I’d say someone is getting fired. But this is the same network that employs Brian Stelter and multiple pedophiles. “Standards” aren’t exactly what the news-entertainment network is known for.

Unfortunately, Anita Blackman deleted her account.

Twitter has decided to suspend companies on Twitter that post quotes from American politicians if Twitter decides that particular opinion falls under the Orwellian category of “misinformation.”  The company was a media company named Grabien, whose Twitter account quoted a US congressmember who stated, “Big Pharma Won’t Consider Therapeutics Like HCQ or Ivermectin Because of Economic Interests.”

Media company Grabien was reportedly suspended on Twitter after it posted a quote from a congressman.

Grabien shared comments from Rep. Biggs about COVID-19 treatments.

“Rep. Biggs: Big Pharma Won’t Consider Therapeutics Like HCQ or Ivermectin Because of Economic Interests,” the tweet that led to the ban read, with a link to a video of Bigg’s comments.

Twitter allegedly told Grabien that its account had been suspended for “violating the policy on spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19.”

Grabien founder Tom Elliott said the ban was  “next-level Twitter absurdity.”

“Obviously, in this case, quoting an elected leader on an issue that matters to everyone is important and newsworthy, regardless of whether you agree,” he added. “(And I can’t help but add that his basic point was once mainstream among progressives.)”

Elliot said he appealed the decision but does not expect much.

“…I have no confidence in Twitter doing the right…

Russia to Grease Taliban Coffers Through Petroleum Deal

It looks like Russia is taking another whack at establishing a presence in Afghanistan, this time by working with the Islamo-fascists that now control the country, the Taliban.  Russia is prepared to help the Taliban make a lot of money, and make some for herself as well, extracting and refining Afghanistan’s petroleum.
