College Goes Woke! Stanford Says 'American' is 'Harmful' Word | Bobby Eberle Ep. 500
Are you sick of all the wokeness yet? After eighteen months of research, Stanford University has compiled a "harmful language" list that includes the word "American." That's right... it's now harmful and offensive to say American.
Also, included among prohibited words and phrases is "immigrant," "stupid," and "beat a dead horse." This is getting ridiculous, but it's just another example of the state of America's colleges and universities.

Thanks to Elon, the FBI has a lot to answer for.
Things have not been good for the Federal Bureau of Investigation this year.
Thanks to its new owner Elon Musk, the “Twitter Files” have been making the rounds, revealing just what kind of relationship the social media giant has with the bureau. Apparently the two had “constant and pervasive” communications, with the FBI treating Twitter as a “subsidiary.” In other words, they were making note of accounts and tweets that needed to be taken action against.
That aligns with reports about surveillance on citizens and infringing on free speech rights in a number of ways -- all in the name of “justice.”
Republicans are working on getting hold of these “Twitter Files,” in hopes of being able to get several subpoenas against both the FBI and the Department of Justice. Leading this charge is Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), who will soon be the chairman for the House Intelligence Committee.
Speaking with Fox News on a recent episode of Sunday Morning Futures, he stated, “We are definitely pursuing the Department of Justice and also the FBI. We certainly intend to pursue subpoena power to expose the extent to which the FBI has been doing this.”
“While we pursue intelligence community to try to hold them accountable, while we’re doing that, Elon Musk is showing what’s happening on the other side with the willing partners, the mainstream media, social media, and really exposing coordination that was occurring between the FBI and them,” he continued.
And how. With Republicans set to take back the House next month, it appears they can finally get things moving as far as taking a closer look at what the FBI is really doing.
Turner believes that, by attaining these files, “we can cut off the funding and prevent, obviously, average Americans being impacted by FBI actions.”
But this goes much deeper than that. “The FBI... under the cover of saying they were pursuing foreign malign influence, had really exploded into activities that involved engaging with mainstream media and social media, and really impacting what is the normal debate of democracy. What’s really troubling here in my opinion is this is not based on intelligence.”
I agree wholeheartedly. When you have a bureau that’s taking actions that could very well infringe the law that they’re sworn to uphold – for the sake of surveilling who they see as troublesome individuals -- it can’t be considered justice in the least. And with so many employees leaving and explaining the absolute hell they went through in their time there, I can’t help but wonder what director Christopher Wray and their team are really up to.
But, honestly, this whole Twitter “partnership” just feels next level. Imagine the FBI being able to sort through your tweets and decide what seems fit and what doesn’t. Without your say, and, for that matter, without the say of Twitter. Is that free speech? Is that really about delivering justice? Finding actual threats is one thing. But simply looking for someone who might be a troublesome factor when they’re not doing anything? That’s something else entirely.
We’ll have to wait a few weeks, past the Christmas season, to see what the House Committee does next. But it’s about time that we took a microscope to the FBI’s actions and get a closer look at what’s happening there. Because who knows? They might be “working” with other social media groups as well, combing over pictures just because they feel like it.
The sooner we get the FBI in order, the better. Now that’s a holiday gift I can certainly get behind.

The New and Improved Taliban
The Editorial Board
“The Taliban seeks international legitimacy and support,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Aug. 30, the official end of the evacuation. “Our message is: Any legitimacy and any support will have to be earned.” How? By “respecting the basic rights of the Afghan people, including women and minorities” and “forming an inclusive government that can meet the needs and reflect the aspirations of the Afghan people.”
On Wednesday the Taliban banned girls from attending elementary schools, as well as female teachers and other staff, the Journal reports. “My daughter has locked herself in a room since this morning and won’t stop crying,” said the father of a rising fifth-grader who wanted to become a doctor for her home village. “All her hopes are broken.” A day earlier, universities were also closed to women.
Two weeks ago the Taliban presided over its first public execution since returning to power. The convicted man had been found guilty of a murder. “Under the Islamic legal tenet of ‘qisas,’ which allows personal retribution for crimes, the father of the murder victim carried out the death sentence as a crowd watched, shooting the killer three times,” the Washington Post reports.
A comeback for public lashings began weeks earlier, when nine men and three women were beaten in front of hundreds of spectators at a sports stadium. The provincial governor, the Associated Press says, sent social-media invites for the 9 a.m. event to “honorable scholars, mujahideen, elders, tribal leaders and local people.” Another public lashing of nine women this month included punishments for “illegal relations” and “escaping from home.”
In a Tuesday press release, Mr. Blinken said the U.S. “condemns in the strongest terms” the Taliban’s “restrictions on the ability of women and girls in Afghanistan to exercise their human rights and fundamental freedoms.” He added: “The Taliban cannot expect to be a legitimate member of the international community until they respect the rights of all in Afghanistan. This decision will come with consequences for the Taliban.”
But the Taliban don’t care about joining the “international community.” They care about imposing strict Islamic law on the people of Afghanistan, which includes no education for girls. No matter Mr. Blinken’s distant rebuke, this was inevitable the minute Mr. Biden ordered the last American out of Kabul.
