Student senate condemns student for daring to criticize the Black Lives Matter organization
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."

They’re coming for you next: Because one student had the nerve to criticize the Black Lives Matter organization, based on what it itself claims are its goals, the Georgetown University Student Association Senate Student senate passed a resolution condemning that specific student and demanding that everyone at the university fall into lockstep support for that Marxist, racist movement.
This is what the future holds. Note that it isn’t the teachers or college administrators calling for this student’s silencing (though I am sure they applaud it), but the students themselves. The modern generation requires oppression and intolerance of dissenting opinions. It does not believe in free speech. It believes instead in tyranny.
This quote from the article sums up the situation, at least at Georgetown University:
Jacob Adams, secretary of Georgetown Republicans, also told Campus Reform that “students are routinely harassed online by their peers for contrarian opinions at Georgetown. It is not a good college environment for conservatives or simply people who disagree with whatever is the prevailing political push. As it stands right now, I would not recommend Georgetown to any prospective student, and I would strongly discourage alumni from donating to the university until they clearly demonstrate Republicans and conservatives are welcome on campus.”
There is one ray of hope, though one that is incredibly depressing in many ways. Too many American colleges have become havens for this kind of intolerance. They are also finding survival difficult if not impossible under the oppressive rules imposed due to the Wuhan virus panic. The result might be that these havens of intolerance might go out of business.
It couldn’t happen fast enough. The problem is that it will be a trade of one form of oppression for another.

All is being revealed.
This is our process, this is our system.
Behold America.
Welcome to the New Order!
“It is not new nor is it order” – Franklin D Roosevelt, who for all his faults, knew a totalitarian when he saw one.
Gaze upon what you have produced America:

This is the best and the brightest in American politics? Listen to her.
My God, what have we done? Take note America.
(God, she is so cute :)
And let me point out that any police department can have its budget reduced and still be able to do their jobs and protect the public when necessary. But when you have this “Woke”, “Politically Correct”, anti American, defund the police, BLM narrative coming out of the mayors office and through his directives no one of color or any protestor may be confronted with their clear acts of radical and violent activities. That is when you have real serious problems.
Soak it in America.
When I was young I thought everyone believed in liberty and freedom.
