Each day Bill records a MICKnugget, a one-minute take on some issue that got his attention that morning. Below are the scripts for last week’s NUGGETS.
CLICK HERE if you’d like to hear them. Here are the scripts:
07.31.23- The Witness
Who makes the best witness?
I would submit to you that it is a person who was directly involved in the criminal behavior in question.
That means this person, now witness, is also a criminal. That does present concerns, but those concerns may be overcome.
First, there is no better witness than a participant. The question becomes one of honesty.
That’s where verification comes into play. It’s what investigators do.
I have interviewed and followed up on many defendants turned witnesses. In most cases the information was solid and reliable, for if it wasn’t their plea deal went away. They do not want that.
So today’s testimony by Devon Archer is likely to reveal much about the Biden family’s criminal acts.
Archer should know, he was there taking part.
Who better to tell us what went on?
07.31.23- FSU Getting What’s Due
We talk a lot about higher education. It’s about time the hallowed halls get what’s coming to them and at Florida State, they are.
A criminology professor has been fired after what is reported as “decades of research” has been debunked because he tweaked his data to fit his predetermined agenda.
He wanted racial factors to be relevant in prison sentencing. He said it was. He published papers on it. And…it wasn’t.
He lied, FSU has egg on its face and they say they may never recover their reputation. It turns out there is no correlation between race and a desire for harsher sentencing.
It was agenda over ethics and facts.
Until higher education gets away from indoctrination and the DEI lie, these situations will continue and the value of that education will continue to fall.
08.02.23- The Good Guys
Today it’s a story about a family legacy.
A Grandfather, three fathers and the grandson are the subjects and they all are also examples.
Three of them were star collegiate and NFL quarterbacks. A fourth is just out of high school and will ply his QB skills at the University of Texas.
All of them are Mannings.
Archie, Peyton, Eli and now Arch, Cooper’s son, have immense talent on the gridiron, but they have something far more important, benevolence.
They’re good people. They are kind and compassionate. They care about their fellow man.
Arch, the freshman QB, has a deal with a trading card company before ever stepping foot on a college field. The first proceeds of that deal are going to a kids’ charity.
This is the result of family values the Mannings hold. It’s a credit to Archie and the Manning boys’ mom. It’s credit to them all.
We could use more families like this.
08.03.23- Good Cop, Better Cop?
When caps can’t protect themselves, even with no actual injury to an aggressor, there is no reason for cops to stay on the job.
A female officer in Vancouver, WA and her male partner were engaged in a scuffle with a theft suspect outside a Walmart. The suspect was violently resisting and winning.
The female officer tased the suspect to no avail. As the struggle continued, she pulled on the suspects pants, exposing his penis. She placed the taser on his genitals and advised him to stop or be tased in sensitive location.
He immediately gave up. The tactic worked with no further injury to anyone.
The WA DA dropped the theft and assault charges on the suspect and has charged the female cop with assault.
She went from good cop to better cop and effectively deescalating the situation.
Well done, officer, well done.
08.04.23- AP Psych vs FL
Advance Placement students in Florida schools will not have AP psychology courses to begin the year.
The College Board, the education wonks who created the AP programs, has decided to not comply with Florida law regarding gender and sexual orientation in these college level classes.
The state says the class can continue, but only if these segments are eliminated. The state notes that competing programs have complied.
Until they can work to change the law, comply or lose the classes to your competitors.
That said, I believe the state’s gone too far. These kids are nearing adulthood and are mature enough for the discussion. They’ll be facing the real world soon enough, if they aren’t already.
The education world brought the lawmaking on itself. Until it realizes that and changes its ways, we’ll see more of this in the future.
Education wonks aren’t too smart, are they?
