The Democrats redefine the phrase “court-packing” to meet their needs

The New Neo Posted on October 12, 2020 by neoOctober 12, 2020

Of course they do – because they believe (correctly IMHO) that they can get away with it. They do it in unison, even though it’s a preposterous notion to use the phrase in this novel way – to mean appointing … Continue reading →

The “antiracism” big picture: the new meanings of “diversity,” “inclusion,” and “equity”

The New Neo Posted on September 28, 2020 by neoSeptember 28, 2020

Get up to speed on the new meaning of such terms that sound good but have been redefined to mean something quite different: We’re being lied to, and it’s been costing us a fortune, both economically and socially. For most … Continue reading →

“Silence is Violence” leads, of course, to compelled speech

The New Neo Posted on September 5, 2020 by neoSeptember 5, 2020

Jonathan Turley has this to say on the subject: “Silence is violence” has everything that you want in a slogan: Alliteration. Brevity. Simplicity. It also can be chilling for some in the academic and free-speech communities. On one level, it … Continue reading →

Well, Kamala, it depends on what the meaning of the word “debate” is

The New Neo Posted on August 17, 2020 by neoAugust 17, 2020

First, take a look at how Kamala Harris explained her attack on Biden during the Democratic debates in light of her now accepting the VP spot on his ticket: Ha ha ha. So funny I forgot to laugh, as my … Continue reading →

The MSM stirring the racism pot

The New Neo Posted on August 6, 2020 by neoAugust 7, 2020

The left and the MSM (but I repeat myself) have created a narrative of increasing racism over the last ten years: …[T]he media’s embrace of “wokeness” did not begin in response to the death of George Floyd. This racial ideology … Continue reading →

Fun with words: Antifa and “The Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart”

The New Neo Posted on August 1, 2020 by neoAugust 1, 2020

[Hat tip: commenter “AesopFan.”] Leftist radicals are well aware of the importance of labels. There’s “Black Lives Matter” for a group run by Marxists, focusing only on those black lives ended by white police officers rather than on all black … Continue reading →

Dealing with the NYC public school system: “white adjacent”

The New Neo Posted on July 8, 2020 by neoJuly 8, 2020

One of the benefits of YouTube is that it enables us to hear reasonable people talking reasonably about a host of topics that are usually discussed in a manner so unreasonable as to conjure up associations with the world in … Continue reading →

Advice for those in academia

The New Neo Posted on July 1, 2020 by neoJuly 1, 2020

Please read this thread. I doubt it would work everywhere, but it’s well worth contemplating. And it may only be possible for people with tenure, or those who have the ability to find work elsewhere. Whether it would work in … Continue reading →

The game of telephone and the difference between “enjoy” and “great”

The New Neo Posted on June 27, 2020 by neoJune 27, 2020

Last night I was watching a YouTube video by Bret Weinstein and his wife Heather Heying. Weinstein is the guy who defied the Evergreen crowd a while back. He’s on the left but with a strong libertarian streak. One thing … Continue reading →

To the public, all lives matter…

The New Neo Posted on June 22, 2020 by neoJune 22, 2020

…although to the elites, Democratic politicians, and to the left (is that redundant?), BLM is the new religion and “all lives matter” is unforgivable racist heresy against it. The fact the black lives are included in “all lives” is explained … Continue reading →

Clever slogans: Black Lives Matter

The New Neo Posted on June 20, 2020 by neoJune 20, 2020

Last night when I awakened several times, thinking, it occurred to me that although the left fights on all fronts, one of them is in the matter of words, in particular the names it gives organizations. For example, Black Lives … Continue reading →
