Jester Politics News Roundup For April 5, 2024

I have no words “World’s sexiest albino’ posed as BLM leader to steal nearly $500k through fake charity.” Ok, I have two words – the irony… A BLM leader is on federal trial in Ohio for allegedly stealing nearly $500,000 from donors that he used to fund a wealthy lifestyle. “Sir Maejor Page,” previously known as Tyree Conyers-Page, ran the Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta nonprofit.

Why? Because they’re likely going to vote for Trump.” While this is good news, it is not a slam dunk – a lot can change in the seven months between now and the election, so keep working to get Biden unelected.

This is not a parody. This is a real headline 🤯 pic.twitter.com/vdzoMph8PC — Dr. Eli David (@DrEliDavid) April 4, 2024 I am sure J.K. Rowling and I differ on many issues; however, she is an honest person with well-thought-out positions and for that she has my respect.  One issue we agree on is transwomen in society, which when boiled to its basics is:  we hope transwomen have a happy life, but they cannot take from women to achieve that goal, so they must stay out of women’s spaces, and sports.  Also, the activists must leave the kids alone!  As should be expected, Ms. Rowlings expressed her positions and beliefs exceptionally well. You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes. I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not… pic.twitter.com/X6mbdJ0YVm — J.K.

He says, “Nothing in the history of Western civilization has ever become more expensive, more quickly than a 4-year degree.” pic.twitter.com/IAONQ3KFoa — Neil Cavuto (@TeamCavuto) April 6, 2024 Hopefully, Trump will try something new and pick a great running mate: “Tim Scott leads black Republicans to court support for Trump amid VP speculation”  Senator Scott is certainly a great candidate, but he is not the only great one on the Republican bench. 🇺🇸 Who will be the next Vice President of the United States? There are 12 people who could apply for the position, but from this extensive list, a few of the most likely candidates can be identified. Tim Scott Scott is one of the most prominent black Republicans in the country.… pic.twitter.com/n2CLfZvlLi — Rybar Force (@rybar_force) April 4, 2024 Interesting happenings in the Ivy league: is Yale Law School leading them back from the far left?  I wouldn’t be giving odds yet, but it is a promising development. We couldn’t help but smile when we saw Yale Law School dean Heather Gerken announce the school’s new tenure-track professor, Garrett West. West is… a conservative? From our editors:https://t.co/LJi1Q8AMcV — Washington Free Beacon (@FreeBeacon) April 5, 2024 Ooops, looks like Yale Law School is going to need some help; “Harvard Law School “scrubs ‘How to Blow Up a Pipeline’ film info from website.”  Seems someone was concerned about appearing to endorse violence.  This may be a legitimate concern given that the “Take Action” page on the film’s website “displays a map of U.S. oil and gas pipelines and a message about legislation and anti-fossil … Continue reading Jester Politics News Roundup For April 5, 2024
