Additions to the MP - Steven Ambrose's Credibility

         Steven Ambrose’s credentials as a historian have recently come under scrutiny.  Timothy D. Rives, the deputy director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, claims, “the records I found did not substantiate Ambrose’s account of how he met President Eisenhower, nor did the records support his claims to have interviewed Eisenhower extensively over four or five years.”  Rives claimed “Ike’s post-presidential records . . . differs radically from the one described by Ambrose.”  Rives wrote this after a 2010 article by Richard Rayner in the New Yorker in which Rayner claimed Rives discovered that, “contrary to Ambrose’s claims, Eisenhower never approached him to write his biography.”  If Ambrose fabricated the detains of his relatioinship with Eisenhower, what else did he fabricate.

Chris Cuomo to the Rescue.

“Journalist” Chris Cuomo, who works for an obscure extreme left wing news outlet, has come out in opposition to the President’s reversal of Obama’s transgender bathroom order.  Cuomo feels that the problem with 12 year old girls sharing restrooms with males is possibly “overprotective” dads: “i wonder if she is the problem or her overprotective and intolerant dad?  teach tolerance.”  We have to learn to be more tolerant.  He asks, “And tolerance and acceptance of people who are different than you is not essential?”  How tolerant is Cuomo of his critics?  He claims that calling something “fake news” is the equivalent of calling someone the “n” word.  What is so bad about calling someone a nebbish?

Prominent Jesuit priest Father James Martin, editor-at-large of America magazine, also spoke out on the subject of transgender bathrooms.  Martin said the Church should embrace homosexuality's "special gifts."

"It doesn't hurt anybody" for boys to be allowed in girls bathrooms and vice versa, Martin tweeted. "It's an affront to their dignity as human beings" to deny men access to women's restrooms and vice versa.

Martin said the Church should embrace homosexuality's "special gifts."

Chris, "Be more tolerant."

While we are in such a tolerant nonjudgmental mood how about saying a few nice words about the gentleman below.

Nebbish Proves The Dunning–Kruger Effect

De plane, de plane!

Berkeley professor and former U.S. Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, has claimed that President Donald Trump incited Monday’s riots in Sweden.  He also suggested that the riot in Berkeley that prevented a Breitbart editor from speaking at the University was organized by right-wingers.  His claim was mentioned in Salon, Newsweek and the UC Berkeley’s official blog.  Eventually the absurdity of the claim inspired  the Washington Post to label it “phantasmagorical.” Perhaps Bob has spent too much time in Wilhelm Reich's Orgone Energy Accumulator.
