Plasmodium Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 LOL Off topic is off topic. The point about Biden not being charged is most definitely not about what he wouldn't do when he is not charged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ban Basketball Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 I also can't help but notice how Joe Biden is this international criminal mastermind who can weave together all of these entities into one big enterprise. Then, on the other hand, he apparently can't tie his own shoes. Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet!

Still no charges or indictments on any of these names, are there? Groundhog's day. Exactly. No charges. But why? Is it because there was no crime? Or is it because there is an incentive to ignore it? Ask yourself how long it took for this Menendez news to break, considering the FBI searched his place in June 2022? (15 months). How long did it take for the Biden laptop stories to be confirmed? How quickly are the requested Biden documents being turned over to the oversight committee around the money schemes (hint: still not turned over)? What percentage of DoJ employees donated to Biden vs. Trump? (85%) How long did it take for us to learn about the search for Trump docs at Trump's Mar Largo? (immediately leaked) What did those involved have to say? Quote "We're going to look at how we can have a more effective mechanism of ensuring compliance," Adam Schiff, D-Calif said. "There is substantive concern about it, and it's not a concern that began in the last administration, but it certainly has reached a new height." Bennie Thompson, D-Miss. said the committee "would not hesitate" to make a criminal referral to the Justice Department if lawmakers determine that Trump willfully violated the Presidential Records Act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jross Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) The book banning in schools seems necessary for age appropriateness. Why is a rating system applied to movies and games... but not books? Certainly, a book like the Archarchist Cookbook should have a rating system and not openly be accessible for study by teenage boys. I've read many banned books, not limited to... The Kite Runner, Fahrenheit 451, The Giver, Animal Farm, The Outsiders, To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men, The Catcher in the Rye, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Bridge to Terabithia, Harry Potter... Some of the ban reasons are silly, but situational bans (for the children) are logical to me... it is 100% appropriate where applied to movies... why not books? Is this (book banning) the legislated censorship you refer to? For fairness of point making, let's recall that books are banned in schools by libs and conservatives.

Two African-American members of the state Assembly have introduced a non-binding resolution calling on school districts in New Jersey to remove “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn“ — widely acclaimed as one of America’s greatest literary works — from their curricula. “I think this is a racist book,” declared one of the sponsors, Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, a Democrat from Mercer County, citing the novel’s frequent use of the N-word. “To use this book in this climate is not doing the African American community any justice at all.” https://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2019/03/21/new-jersey-lawmakers-want-schools-to-stop-teaching-huckleberry-finn-924748 ---------- Schools in Burbank will no longer be able to teach a handful of classic novels, including Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, following concerns raised by parents over racism. Middle and high school English teachers in the Burbank Unified School District received the news during a virtual meeting on September 9. Until further notice, teachers in the area will not be able to include on their curriculum Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, Theodore Taylor's The Cay and Mildred D. Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. https://www.newsweek.com/kill-mockingbird-other-books-banned-california-schools-over-racism-concerns-1547241 --------- https://web.archive.org/web/20200513024347/https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2020/05/08/book-banning-is-a-bipartisan-game/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
