The Liberty Podcast - April 19, 2024

In NC, DEI is DOA. RIP.

Welcome back, Liberty lovers. It was a good week for the win column.

Apparently, hope rings eternal, even within the educational industrial complex.

North Carolina joined a growing number of states seeking to restrict or ban diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives at public colleges.

As of March 27, nine have been signed into law by a governor: two in Florida, one in each of the Dakotas, one in Tennessee, one in Texas, one in Utah, one in Alabama, and most recently one in Idaho.

On April 17, 2024, a University of North Carolina System Board of Governors’ committee unanimously approved a policy that repeals the university system’s existing policy and regulation on diversity and inclusion, which require each of the state’s 17 public campuses to employ diversity officers and work toward achieving diversity-related goals, among other requirements.

Various organizations swiftly denounced the long overdue repeal, but, as of this hour, there have been no reports of any Marxist Democrat self immolating near or on a UNC System campus. Do they wear surgical masks amid setting themselves on fire? Below: An overview revealing that DEI is in the process of being eradicated across much of the United States.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. never will be elected President of the United States but we salute his quest to be a part of the 2024 conversation, if, for no other reason, than that it is casting the Kennedy family into a state of perpetual angst. All of these perplexed Kennedys are rushing to TV studios and video production houses -- at the behest of the Obama Democratic Party -- to denounce Bobby and urge Americans to vote for the vision and vitality that IS the Joe Biden presidency.

Their wrists will be wrung even more convulsively now that Bobby has made his way onto the November ballot in Michigan, where he polls at 12-13% against Biden and Donald Trump, who leads in three- and five-way scenarios in a state where Biden's best hope is to court the jihadist Muslim vote in districts near Detroit. It is no coincidence that his regime continues to urge Israel to exercise restraint against Hamas terrorists rather than pursuing elimination of the Iran-backed cell.

By way of wrapping up another inspired podcast, here are a few parting thoughts:

A new poll of sponsored by The Heritage Foundation and conducted by an independent research group should send a message to Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and his buddies in the Democrat party. The poll concludes that a vast majority of moderate Americans in key swing states oppose proposals that send more funding to Ukraine, especially before America’s own borders are secure.

Yet, Johnson and most House Republicans seem as if they will not be deterred in passing three foreign aid spending bills this weekend, one of which pours another $61 BILLION into the war coffers of Ukraine to support its futile war against Russia. The Biden warlords went before a House subcommittee recently not to press for more money for Ukraine because it is winning and will prevail but because its defenses are withering and LOSING. Meanwhile, a mere pittance, just north of $26 billion is sought to aid Israel in its efforts to respond to an emboldened Iran (thanks, Biden regime).

North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, who is running for Governor, is very proud of his efforts to clean up inefficiencies that caused DNA "rape kit" testing to be log jammed for about five years. He ran to the mics recently to breathlessly impart that the state is "caught up" and will never again allow rape victims to be marginalized while awaiting DNA test results to identify their vicious attackers. The system fell apart long before Stein came along. North Carolina became the No. 1 state in the downhill race to ignore rape victims under current Gov. Roy Cooper (D), who was the state's attorney general for 16 long years. Who keeps voting for this menace?

Michele Morrow needs to be on the radar of every North Carolina citizen who demands that public education be liberated from the tyranny of the indoctrination-minded Left. She is running for Superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction. She poses such a threat to the entrenched education complex that even CNN is following her race against longtime Marxist Mo Green. In November, remember, Morrow, not Mo.
