Exiled From Academia

Exiled From Academia — Mary Grabar, Ph.D., founder of Dissident Prof, (www.dissidentprof.com) interview six of her colleagues who had been “exiled” professionally and socially from academia for ideas deemed heretical by the radicals who are now running things.

She compiled them in Exiled: Stories from Conservative and Moderate Professors Who Have Been Ridiculed, Ostracized, Marginalized, Demonized, and Frozen Out.

At least someone has the guts to speak out. And why do we taxpayers give these university honchos such rich lifestyles?

PepsiCo Beaten Women Are Funny

PepsiCo Beaten Women Are Funny — PepsiCo contracted rapper Tyler, The Creator, to make a commercial for Mountain Dew.

Oh boy, did he. It featured a  white woman with bruises on her face, a brace around her neck and leaning on a crutch trying to pick  her assailant from a police lineup that featured young black men dressed as thugs and a goat. The goat mouths gangster-type threats at her and the ad ends with her fleeing from the room while a detective sips on a Mountain Dew.

PepsiCo pulled the ad and scrubbed it from YouTube as some strangely found it offensive.

It is offensive.

Drink Coke. Heck, drink Sam’s Club or some other store brand. It beats supporting this garbage.
