Men Not Learning?
By Lewis Morris: The nation has just emerged from graduation season. Many of us know young people who are either leaving high school and moving on to college or graduating from college and heading off into the world. But college and the promise of better career opportunities aren’t what they used to be.
The job market for college graduates in America in 2017 is tighter than it’s ever been, and it gets more competitive every year. No matter the degree earned, the average college graduate is becoming less likely to find a job in their chosen profession within five years, in some cases even 10 years, after graduation. Given the fact that a four-year college education can cost anywhere from $40,000 to $150,000, this is a troubling fact that is crippling an entire generation of young people looking to enter the workforce.
It’s a frightening and demoralizing situation to be saddled with a debt large enough to buy a small home before the age of 25 with nothing to show for it but an 8 ½ x 11-size piece of onion skin paper with fancy lettering. There was a time when these degrees led straight to high-paying jobs. But that time is quickly waning.
Change is happening on a social level on college campuses, too. A recent article in the Denver Post notes that women now outnumber men nearly two to one in college attendance. Women hold nearly 60% of all bachelor degrees, and they account for almost half of all students in law, medical and graduate business programs.
It’s a great thing and a long time coming that women have reached this level of academic excellence. But it comes amidst a wave of militant feminism that has a high price. By comparison, over the past decade, as the Denver Post notes, close to 30% of male college students have quit during their freshman year. This is a nationwide phenomenon. What gives?
There is something ugly beyond the increasingly limited economic value of a college education in modern America. And that’s the fact that college isn’t about education anymore. It’s about indoctrination. Colleges in this country are not a place for learning, but are rather factories for cranking out sycophants of leftist ideology. They are surely not the haven for free speech they pretend to be. Look at the walkouts, protests and riots that are now taking place on college campuses sparked by nothing more than diverse opinions that run counter to statist groupthink.
Relationally, college has gotten bad too. James Shelley, director of the Men’s Resource Center at Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, Ohio, gives voice to one of the real reasons young men don’t want to be on college campuses. These institutions, says Shelley, “welcome young men to college by essentially telling them that they are potential rapists.”
Indeed, incessant repetition of the phony one-in-five-women-are-raped statistic isn’t helping. Why would young men subject themselves to such legal jeopardy?
The hostile social environment combined with the extremely limited return on investment of spending money and time in an institution of higher “learning” that no longer offers better employment after graduation makes college a bad idea for a lot of young men. It should come as no surprise that they are dropping out of — or not even bothering to enroll in — these institutions.
The problem this growing segment of emasculated men are experiencing is that there isn’t really a viable alternative outside of college. Society has effectively shamed the idea of vocational training and learning a trade as some backwards mindset that no longer suits our young people. Working with your hands has become scorned in a nation that was built by people who once practiced the very trades that we now need most.
The fact is there are not enough tradesmen, or tradeswomen for that matter. The high-end professions that college is supposed to train people for these days are drowning in applicants. There are more people trained for these jobs than the market can bear.
While colleges teach classes on the evils of Western civilization and offer degrees in understanding “Star Wars” and “The Simpsons,” America’s infrastructure is thirsting for people with tangible skills. That’s where opportunity truly is, and where viable income and steady work can be found.
Mike Rowe, TV personality and one of America’s foremost practical thinkers, offers countercultural advice that should be considered by America’s young people: Don’t follow your passion. Passion doesn’t pay the bills; opportunity does. Don’t be inspired by the one-percenters who followed their passion and became Oscar- and Grammy-winning performers. Follow opportunity. Find where no one else is meeting a need and fill that need.
Higher education is not a sham. Wanting to learn more about the world is a noble pursuit and young Americans have an opportunity rare in most countries. But education is not a value in its own right. It should lead somewhere. And that place is not a leftist reeducation camp that teaches people to hate each other based on belief or gender. That place should be where you learn a skill or a trade that allows you to make a living and build a future for yourself and for your future family. This country was built by people not afraid to get their hands dirty. That is what truly makes America great. ~The Patriot Post

FBI Asst Dir Kallstrom – Comey
Conspired With Lynch To Cover For liar-Clinton
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Former Assistant Director of the FBI James Kallstrom joins Lou Dobbs for a discussion of the Comey mess and what he thinks is really going on at that agency... Dobbs addresses the “extraordinary hearing in which we found out, the former director confessing, that he was leaking information to the New York Times through a conduit, if you will, a Columbia law professor by the name of Daniel Richmond, and at the same time portraying himself as a weak, frankly cowardly leader of the most storied law enforcement agency in this country’s history.” Dobbs says, “I mean it was quite a performance. And then we hear the national left-wing media, you would have thought that there was sort of a draw in that, when it was clearly a disaster for James Comey.” Kallstrom replies, “Yeah, that fifth column is really strong and getting stronger. The facts are irrelevant to them.” Kallstrom says, “I’ve talked about Comey for a while and I don’t do that with any glee. After first endorsing the rank and file agents as being great, he notes that the leadership is suspect, making what he generously describes as “foolish mistakes.” He mocks Comey for the “flutters in his stomach” and his having to write the memo detailing his conversation with the President. Kallstrom asks if Comey felt the same need to write a memo following the meeting between Bill liar-Clinton and Loretta Lynch on the Phoenix tarmac, “apparently not. ”...http://rickwells.us/dobbs-fbi-asst-dir-kallstrom-comey-conspired-lynch-cover-clinton/

Saturday's anti-Shariah rallies
meant to provoke 'honest debate'
by Leo Hohmann
{wnd.com} ~ ACT! For America is planning nationwide “Anti-Shariah” rallies Saturday, and leftist organizations are promising to hold counter rallies, but many Americans will wonder what all the fuss is about... For them, even a mention of the word “Shariah” conjures up images of Saudi Arabian courts chopping off hands of petty thieves or the stoning of a woman caught in adultery. “No Muslim in America really wants that type of Shariah,” says Mike Ghouse, president of the Center for Pluralism and an American Muslim who emigrated from India 30 years ago. Ghouse has come out against the anti-Shariah rallies being organized by Brigitte Gabriel of ACT! For America, which has lined up rallies in 28 cities in 20 states... http://www.wnd.com/2017/06/saturdays-anti-shariah-rallies-meant-to-provoke-honest-debate/

Trump Should Say
“You’re Fired” to Special Counsel
by Cliff Kincaid
{aim.org} ~ The incoherent questioning of James Comey by Senator John McCain (R-AZ) is symptomatic of why President Donald Trump is at a severe disadvantage as the special counsel’s investigation of Russia-gate goes forward... The Republicans have walked into a trap and don’t know how to dig themselves out. They are playing ball with the Democrats, whose goal is impeachment. The liberal media, the Democrats, and Comey’s best buddy, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, are in Comey’s corner. Mueller approved Comey’s decision to testify to the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Comey testified that “Bob” would handle the obstruction of justice investigation against Trump. It can’t get any clearer than this. Trump is a marked man. We know what they’re doing. Forget all of that media spin about Mueller’s sterling reputation. He was a terrible investigator in the anthrax case and fingered several innocent people... http://www.aim.org/aim-column/trump-should-say-youre-fired-to-special-counsel/?utm_source=AIM+-+Weekly+Email&utm_campaign=Weekly%20Email%20Jun-10-2017&utm_medium=email

Lordy Judge Jeanine – Destroys
Calculating Leaker, Predator James Comey
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Oh Lordy, James Comey is a lying, calculating predator out to set up President Trump. That’s the opinion of Judge Jeanine Pirro, who knows Comey well... has worked with him and once had a great amount of respect for him. Those days are over. She says, “What’s so amazing about this is Jim Comey comes across as someone who is so wily, so calculating – he’s a predator. He makes a decision that the President is going to lie to him before he even has his first meeting. And so he decides that he’s going to start recording or memorizing what was said in their conversations. And then he gets to the point where he says, ‘You know what, I’m going to leak this stuff now.’ Why is he so comfortable leaking?” Judge Jeanine continues along that track, “What is it about his history, his background as a prosecutor? And what I would want to know is, is he the leaker? Is he the guy who is so comfortable? And the answer to why he didn’t leak it himself, about the seagulls and the beach and my wife was hogwash, it was a distraction... http://rickwells.us/lordy-judge-jeanine-destroys-calculating-leaker-predator-james-comey/

Now we know why Comey gave liar-Hillary pass
by Joseph Farah
{wnd.com} ~ Are you still trying to sort out the purpose of testimony by former FBI Director James Comey on Capitol Hill this week?
After everyone else in the world has had his or her say, allow me to bottom-line this for you:
Comey admitted that as FBI director, he knowingly and intentionally leaked privileged, self-serving information to the press. This after he referred to the whistleblower institution of WikiLeaks as “information porn.”Why did Comey covertly leak his notes about meetings with President Trump rather than confronting Trump about what he thought was an inappropriate approach, or, alternatively, reporting the conversation to the attorney general or congressional oversight authorities? He explained that he did not have the “courage” nor the presence of mind to do that.
He admitted that he was never directed by President Trump to drop any investigation.
He admitted that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch pressured him to downplay the investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton’s email scandal during the 2016 presidential election campaign. He further confirmed that he saw her secretive meeting with former President Bill liar-Clinton as a conflict of interest.
So, what did we learn from all these revelations – some candid and others tortured?
I think we know why Comey gave liar-Hillary Clinton a pass for violating national security laws.
Comey’s testimony showed he was more concerned about his own personal reputation than doing his job as one of the nation’s top law-enforcement officers. It also demonstrates that the only real political pressure he experienced as FBI director was during Barack liar-nObama’s administration when he was ordered to downplay the liar-Clinton investigation by his immediate boss.
And that’s exactly what Comey did.
Of course, no one followed up on this revelation, though it was by far the biggest news hook to come from the hearing.
Let me review this once again.
Comey said he got political pressure from Lynch to drop or downplay the investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton’s email scandal – and that’s what he did. He didn’t leak anything to the press about it. He didn’t say he pushed back against the inappropriate suggestion. He didn’t suggest Lynch recuse herself from the investigation as Jeff Sessions, Trump’s attorney general, did in the case of the Russia probe.
Wouldn’t you agree that we now know, beyond any reasonable doubt, why Comey closed down the investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton’s email scandal? Because he was protecting his coveted job. It’s the same reason he didn’t raise any concerns with Donald Trump about his suggestions. He wanted to hold on to his job and was playing office politics himself.
He said it: He didn’t have the courage to challenge Trump.
He obviously didn’t have the courage or integrity to challenge Loretta Lynch.
If I’m missing anything here, please dissuade me from these conclusions.
But, I think what we learned was that Trump’s decision to fire Comey was one of the best choices of his first few months in office – at least as good as withdrawing from the Paris climate accord.
I’ve heard all I can stand to hear about Comey having personal and professional integrity.
His own words have betrayed him as a political animal who put his own personal career aspirations ahead of the national interest and justice.
I suspected all this before the hearing.
Now I have no doubt I am right.
Good riddance to Comey and his 15 minutes of fame. I found his personal testimony embarrassing, contradictory and unworthy of the revered image of the FBI.
Now can we please move on and get Washington working on behalf of the American people?
