Trump attacks the 'critical race theory' scam

 Epoch Times:

An executive order recently issued by President Donald Trump is poised to cause a major shift in the culture war over the soul of America. The Sept. 22 order bans federal agencies, contractors, subcontractors, and grantees from instructing their employees to follow the tenets of the critical race and critical gender theories.

The theories are based on the Marxist concept of “struggle,” pitting races and sexes against each other by labeling them “oppressors” and the “oppressed.” It then reinterprets society and history as being rooted in this “struggle.”

The theories have become the preferred creed of progressive intellectuals and have spread throughout academia, government institutions, public education, and the corporate world.

“It’s been a tremendously powerful narrative that has kind of embedded itself in our institutions and become, in essence, the default ideology of federal agencies,” said Christopher Rufo, director of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth and Poverty, in a recent Epoch Times interview. “Even though nobody has voted on it, it’s never been passed through legislation, it has no kind of constitutional or popular support, and yet it’s taken over institutions.”

Rufo has been waging a one-man war against critical theory in American government. He’s repeatedly obtained documents showing the theory being pushed in various institutions. His discoveries were featured as examples in Trump’s order.

Employee trainings promulgating such “divisive concepts” lead to “race and sex stereotyping and scapegoating” and “have no place in programs and activities supported by Federal taxpayer dollars,” Trump’s order reads.

...

During the debate with Biden Trump said the programs are teaching people to hate this country.  Biden did not really have much to say about the program, although at one point he did make the bogus claim that Trump was racists.  But if you take a close look at critical race theory you see that it is, in fact, a racist program against whites.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
