CM PRESS # 778

 NH HOMEOWNER ARRESTED FOR FIRING WARNING SHOT TO STOP BURGLAR

Particularly troubling since New Hampshire's state motto is "Live Free, Or Die," and there's a long tradition of individualism,  independence and self-reliance in the state.

REV. FRANKLIN GRAHAM SAYS HE'D BREAK THE LAW INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT 
THE GOVERNMENT WANTS IF IT'S AGAINST HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEFS

We need more people like this standing up against government intrusion into religions.  

The government wants to force various religious organizations to hire people whose beliefs are the complete opposite of what the religious organizations believe.  Talk about absurd.

SUPREME COURT TO HEAR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION CASE

White student sued because she was denied admission to college because she's White.

So, will the Supreme Court establish a race neutral, merit based philosophy that holds that each individual must compete for college seats based on his or her abilities? 

Such a philosophy is based on the fiction that all humans are the same in intelligence and abilities and that those who get the seats simply studied harder than those who didn't get the seats.  To maintain this fiction, lefties have for years come up with all sorts of absurd rationales for why different racial groups score differently on standardized tests.

As with all cases heard before the Supreme Court, this one is more about establishing a national philosophy than black letter law.

Long time readers know that we're critical of many standardized tests because we think that the concept of "intelligence" needs revising.  Perhaps the Supreme Court will even hear arguments about the different types of intelligence as they deliberate affirmative action.

PAT BUCHANAN CORRECTLY ASKS WHO THE REAL EXISTENTIAL THREAT IS AND TO WHOM


Pat points out the absurdity of saying that Iran is an existential threat to Israel when Iran has no nukes and Israel has 300.


Pat also correctly says that the U.S. should not be getting involved in the internal affairs of other nations unless there is a real danger to the U.S. if we don't get involved.

COSTA MESA CITY COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT
#                #                        #
CITY GOVERNMENT MOVING TOO FAST AND BEING RUN LIKE A BUSINESS?

Some folks say the City  is moving too fast and that it's wrong to run the City like a business

Those who say such things may take solace in the inability of the City to put up a simple sign on W. 19th Street in a timely and efficient manner. *

Too fast?   A couple of months ago, the Council authorized the placing of a sign on W. 19th Street as part of a re-branding of the Westside.

As of today, there's still no sign.

Shouldn't be run like a business? We think this issue of a simple sign may indicate that the City isn't being run like a business but more like a typical bureaucratic government.

It the bosses of a private business had asked that a sign be put up to help re-brand that business and make it a success by attracting customers, and it took this long, well....
------------
 *The sign really is simple.  It should be made of wood. It should be highly visible. It should be at the front of the median west of Harbor Blvd.on W. 19th Street. It should say "19 West."  It should signify that one is entering a space that is somewhat different from the space one just left.  It should, by color, type face and design convey that West 19th Street is a modern, urbane, hip shopping area that welcomes customers. It should make people feel comfortable in shopping on W. 19th Street and help make it a destination location.

The CM PRESS would have had that sign up within two weeks at the outside.
