Surely, CUNY Can Do Better!


When CUNY announced that the key note for one of their commencement ceremonies would be none other than Linda  Sarsour, patriotic “woke” Americans started talking about it. For those who are unaware of Sarsour, she promotes sharia law and claims to be an advocate for blacks, women and immigrants. However, she has also posted several tweets jealously attacking Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a black, immigrant woman. 

Sarsour has used Twitter to promote the virtues of Sharia to the American public. On May 13, 2015, she tweeted, “You’ll know when you’re living under Sharia Law if suddenly all your loans & credit cards become interest free. Sound nice, doesn’t it?” In November of 2014, she used Saudi Arabia’s three months paid maternity leave as a selling point for Sharia. However in early 2015, she tweeted, “FYI - mandated head covering for Muslim women in Saudi Arabia is the LEAST of their worries. Stop making it THE ISSUE. It’s not.” So, she also has some problems with being consistent.

One black immigrant, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, has stoked the coals within Sarsour. Sarsour who is lacking even a bachelor’s degree, has shown unrestrained jealousy and anger towards Ayaan. The Somali-born Ali speaks 6 languages, has a degree, has served in Dutch parliament, and truly advocates for women’s rights. In one infamous tweet from March of 2011, Sarsour tweeted out that Ali, and Lebanese-born Brigitte Gabriel should get a whippin’ and have their vaginas taken away. In 2012, she was expressing #MuslimRage at Ayaan, though she claimed she pitied her. In another tweet on the same day, she expressed more #MuslimRage that Ali had front page covers, which Sarsour did not have at the time. The religious Muslim community does not endorse Ali, who does not wear a hijab. Sarsour partnered with the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) in order to discredit Ali.

Sarsour actively promotes Sharia law, lacks the accomplishments standard for keynote speakers, and throws hateful tantrums in public online spaces. These points have been clearly supported here. Furthermore, these are not actually the only reasons why she is wrong to keynote a commencement. The community has actively attempted to reason with CUNY about these sorts of issues. They refused to listen, so activist Pamela Geller organized a permitted, peaceful rally where five speakers, plus Ms. Geller spoke outside of CUNY headquarters.

Youtube channels-from moderate left to far and alt right

This is, as the post title states, a list of youtubers that right wingers watch. I don't think anyone else has made a list, so I did. There are a small number of moderate left wingers' channels that are included because they cover moderate left to moderate right issues. I'm adding some notes based on what I know. I'm happy to add to this list just leave a comment or Gab me .  Just a note that I include notes if someone is black or Hispanic because someone scanning the list for someone to check out may want to check someone out based on that, such as a black person who may want to check out other black people who are youtubing.  I recently had a black friend who didn't believe me that there were black conservatives, so I pointed him at some of the youtubers I watch. *before a listing means that it's a creator I recommend, for those who are just getting started and want to only select a few creators to follow, like my channel .

The Rally Against Pro-Terror Anti-Semite Linda Sarsour

Last Thursday, May 25th, a midtown east block was overtaken by a rally and two counter-protests. The primary event was a rally hoping to get CUNY to change their mind about the key-note invitation to Hijabi Muslim activist Linda Sarsour, who is said have ties to terrorist groups like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The two counter-protest groups were the Neturei Karta and the “NO!” group. The rally was organized by activist Pamela Geller, president of American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI).  She also served as the presenter to the speakers for the event. The first speaker was NYS assemblyman Dov Hikind. Hikind is an Orthodox Jew and Zionist whose district is located in predominantly Hasidic Orthodox Boro Park, Brooklyn. The next speaker was John Guandolo whose knowledge about Sharia and Islam comes from a military and law enforcement background. Egyptian-born, Nonie Darwish passionately spoke about how she escaped Sharia. When she said she did not want to live under it

Americans And Communism Are Like Oil And Water-They Don’t Mix

For those who don’t know me personally, I grew up in the 80s and 90s, at the end of the cold war. Communism is no joke. Lately, I’ve been taking some time to better understand the communist movement here in the U.S. which I will be blogging about more. In the meanwhile, a guy named Otto Warmbier has died bringing communism into the spotlight. A little background for those who don’t know, Otto was an American college guy from an upper middle class family in suburban Cincinnati, Ohio. He decided to take a trip to China and North Korea during his winter break of his junior year of college which took place late 2015 to early 2016. He allegedly stole a sign off a wall in a hotel staff area. While the surveillance camera footage was fuzzy, it was used to identify him to North Korean authorities. In a press conference from March of 2016, he blamed a well-connected friend’s mother from home in Ohio and a University of VA friend from a secret society. However, many think the North Korean
