The Sunday edition of the Washington Post contained its usual assortment of left loving articles designed to prove that the media is still oblivious as to how we got Trump:
A lot of research shows that putting 13 male senators in charge of a health-care bill is a lousy idea
After criticizing the all-male group, CNN’s Erin Burnett read a fuller version of the statement, where the aide detailed policy differences between the committee, saying “to reduce this to gender, race or geography misses the more important point of the diverse segments of the conference the group represents on policies.” A voice mail left with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s press office and an email sent to a spokesman for Sen. Lamar Alexander, the Republican chairman of the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) Committee, were not returned.
Yet one researcher who has studied the effect of diversity on group dynamics says such diversity of thought or approach to policy — though helpful — usually isn’t enough to produce the best results. Katherine Phillips, a professor at Columbia University’s business school, has studied how small group discussions benefit from what she calls “surface-level diversity” — the visible differences between team members — in coming up with broader and more innovative ideas.
I’m not even going to address the poorly written headline. As always, to a Leftist, we should be less concerned than people’s intelligence and qualifications, and instead judge on superficial traits. Just curious, but have they ever gone back and analyzed the architects of Obamacare to see if any of them possessed the two brain cells to know that as a result of the law for many Americans they wouldn’t get to keep their plans, keep their doctors, and that rates would skyrocket?
Trump looms at Howard graduation
At Howard University, a school known for its activism and commitment to social justice, Sen. Kamala D. Harris implored graduates at Saturday’s commencement to fight the policies of the Trump administration.
HBCUs have had a fraught relationship with the Trump administration. University leaders headed to the White House earlier this year with the hope of increased funding and aid for students, but many were disappointed when the president’s budget did not include any of their requests.
Wow, I don’t realize that simply being president caused one to “Loom” over a graduation. And as for the complaint that the federal government isn’t further subsidizing the bloated higher education system, how about looking at how the university might try cutting costs instead?
Md. attorney general seeks court order to force judge to decide Purple Line case
Federal transit officials said in December that further analysis had shown that Metro would have no significant impact on the Purple Line. But the plaintiffs have said Metro’s potential impacts are just one reason the light-rail line should be stopped because of its cost and environmental impacts.
Yes, “environmental impacts”. It’s nice to see the same green nimrods who want the EPA to serve as a boot on the throat of the rest of the nation are using their own sword to slay a mass transit initiative. I’ll at least give these green fascists points for using their eco-zealotry against one of their own pet causes.
D.C.’s mayor played down a school-lottery scandal. Now parents are furious.
Not many topics in local government grab James Hunter’s attention, but the District’s public-school lottery is one of them. And he says that what he saw and heard from Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) last week about allegations that a member of her cabinet bypassed the lottery to enroll her child in a top school made him “livid.”
Hunter, 38, a Capitol Hill resident whose daughter was matched through the lottery with a pre-K program at Miner Elementary School, said he was upset to learn that Deputy Mayor Courtney Snowden had her son specially placed at Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan, which has a waiting list of more than 1,000 families.
But what added insult to injury, Hunter said, was Bowser’s insistence this week that Snowden had done nothing wrong.
Because educational freedom should only be for the wealthy and the powerful, not those damned commoners! And finally…
Trapped in Trumpland: Washingtonians say politics follows them everywhere, even to the strip club
In the nation’s capital — where 93 percent of residents voted for Hillary Clinton — people say they feel trapped in Trumpland. Political talk has infiltrated the workplace, overtaking conversations at restaurants, the gym and, yes, even the strip club.
Yes, the article laments about how people who voted for Hillary feel trapped and feel the need to make everyone around them as miserable as they are. If you feel that trapped, get out and get a job in one of the fields you’ve spent the last eight years poisoning. Or if that’s too much, get over yourself and find something meaningful in your life other than meddling in everyone else’s lives.
