When Biden took office, one of his first acts was the elimination of our border security. Like a power-hungry dictator, Biden simply decided to ignore our immigration laws. His catastrophic border policy resulted in untold millions of unidentified foreign citizens from around the world pouring into our country. Its impact is now being felt in cities across the country. The worst is yet to come. PETER LEMISKA - AND WE'RE ALREADY THERE!!!

THIS IS FOR REAL! YALE UNIVERSITY KILLS ART HISTORY COURSE OVER STUDY OF WHITE MALE ARTISTS
Yale Kills Popular Art History Course over Study of White, Male Artists
Yale University announced this week that it is killing off a popular art history course after students claimed that they were “uneasy” over the course’s focus on white male artists.
According to a report from Yale Daily News, Yale University announced this week that the popular course, “Introduction to Art History: Renaissance to the Present,” will no longer be offered.
Students criticized the course over its alleged over-emphasis on European art. The students argued that the course should focus on influential art from countries around the world. Shortly thereafter, Yale officials pulled the plug on the course.
The course’s instructor, Tim Barringer, said that he has no issue with the university’s decision to expand the scope of his art history course.
“I believe that every object I discuss in [the course] is of profound cultural value,” Barringer. “I want all Yale students (and all residents of New Haven who can enter our museums freely) to have access to and to feel confident analyzing and enjoying the core works of the western tradition. But I don’t mistake a history of European painting for the history of all art in all places.”
Marisa Bass, the director of undergraduate studies at Yale University, said that the decision to cancel the popular course after university officials agreed that the course excluded ethnic art.
Yale’s History of Art department is deeply committed to representing the intellectual diversity of its students and its faculty, and we believe that introductory surveys are an essential opportunity to continue to challenge, rethink and rewrite the narratives surrounding the history of engagement with art, architecture, images and objects across time and place. These surveys and those that we will continue to develop in the future are designed in recognition of an essential truth: that there has never been just one story of the history of art.
Student Mahlon Sorensen wasn’t thrilled with the university’s decision. He told the Yale Daily News that the course will make it more difficult for students to get a brief introduction to European art.
“My biggest critique of the decision is that it’s a disservice to undergrads,” Sorensen said. “If you get rid of that one, all-encompassing course, then to understand the Western canon of art, students are going to have to take multiple art history courses. Which is all well and good for the art history major, but it sucks for the rest of us, which, I would say, make up the vast majority of the people who are taking [HSAR 115].”

oe Biden Endorses Students Who Smeared Virginia 2A Supporters as ‘White Supremacists’
Former Vice President Joe Biden praised a group of youth gun control activists Monday, sharing a message where they falsely labeled thousands of diverse pro-gun marchers in Virginia as “white supremacists.”
Biden’s official Twitter account shared a post from the March for Our Lives organization, wherein 13 members of the gun group claimed they had to sneak into the Capitol building at Richmond “secretly” to avoid all the “white supremacists” attending the January 20, 2020, Second Amendment rally.
Biden responded by praising the “courage” of the young activists and calling for more gun control:
The courage shown today by the lawmakers, staff, and gun safety advocates in Richmond is inspiring. It's long past time the calls for reform are met with concrete action that ends our gun violence epidemic. #IStandWithVirginia today, and every day, until the job is done. https://twitter.com/AMarch4OurLives/status/1219283803589545985 …
The group did not offer any evidence that the demonstrators — including minoritiesupset with such a toxic characterization, and with the state’s governor Ralph Northam facing no consequences for a blackface scandal — held any racial animus or white supremacist views.
Following the December 29, 2019, incident in which a Texas church congregant shot and killed an armed attacker, Breitbart News reported Biden’s criticism of the law that allows Texas congregants to be armed for self-defense.
He voiced his criticism during a C-SPAN interview at the time that the law allowing armed congregants was being signed by Gov. Greg Abbott (R). He said, “It is irrational, with all due respect to the Governor of Texas, it is irrational what they are doing.”
After the congregant killed the attacker and potentially saved countless innocent lives, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) commented by calling Biden “dangerous.”

Editor’s note: The headline and opening paragraph of this story has been updated to clarify that Biden endorsed the students and expanded the reach of their baseless “white supremacists” smear, but he did not explicitly endorse their accusation against the pro-2A protesters.
