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 .

Middle East TRUTH about Palestinians

Courtesy of the Middle East Truth YouTube channel: --- THE FACTS ABOUT THE PALESTINIANS --- There has never been such a country called Palestine. Israel was re-formed on land previously ruled by the Ottoman empire, similarly to other countries in the region such as Lebanon, Iraq and others. There is no such thing as "Palestinian people". It's worth noting that newspapers such as the 'Palestine post' were Jewish newspapers (this one for example turned into the 'Jerusalem post'). This is also true about other official "Palestine" related stuff from the time before Israel was re-formed. Hebrews were the majority in Jerusalem even before the birth of the Zionist movement in the 19th century. If someone happened to use the term "Palestine" before the re-formation of Israel, he was referring to the homeland of the Jevvs (the land of Israel) - not the Arabs. It's worth noting that the flag of the "Palestinian Authority" is th...
