BIB-This is slightly off topic, but related to Meghan.
On Saturday the funeral was held for a really outstanding and great person. The Rev. Cecil "Chip" Murray. It was held at his church, the First African Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. Murray had the ear of every politician who has ever wanted to make it in California and on the national scene. There were many testimonials regarding the help and direction he gave over the decades and all the lives he touched in the AA community and beyond. He was a healing force during the Rodney King riots and after and helped the AA and Korean communities have a dialogue. A man like Rev, Murray probably would have been polite enough to agree to see Meghan Markle and he probably would have rolled his eyeballs when she left. She comes from LA and I can tell you that the fact that she never mentioned him in any fashion tells me what a colossal fraud she really is. Her only comment about the riots was a made up lie that she could smell the smoke and saw the ashes and her father took her away to avoid it. She didn't live anywhere even close to where the riots took place. Her father took her to Palm Springs to err on the side of caution, but it was unnecessary.
I know this is preaching to the choir here and we all know what she is. If she was truly concerned about the AA community, she would have had something to point to and she has nothing. All she has is a bunch of lies. She has nothing to point to regarding any group when you look at it hard enough. Talk Talk Talk. That is all you get from her and from him. Talk is cheap and so are they.

Word. I hope the parents of the students arrested let them mellow in jail for a day or two. The tuition at these schools, even with a partial scholarship is very high ad parents are struggling to make the payments. I question what percentage are there for an actual education. Unless they are pursuing a profession, they are hanging out to drink and party and have a good time
I was in college when the Vietnam War protest were taking place. I am having such a sense of deja vu. What is happening now is pretty identical with student sit-ins and not going to class and disrupting graduations. I refused to participate in this even though I was against the war. I continued to go to class and I would say that about a third of the students just used it as an excuse not to go. The only difference this time around is that the protests are far more organized, and it is obvious that there is funding coming from somewhere to keep it going and the blatant antisemitism that has been unleashed. There are professional agitators as well as people who have shown up just to protest and don't even know what they are protesting about.
I noticed this too… the signs look very similar from school to school. The tents in the encampments are similar as well. My kid was a scout. No one had the same tent. This isn’t “organic.” At every school, the demand is to divest from any corporation that profits from the conflict. My son’s school sent out a lengthy explanation of how the endowment works and is funded. Their demand has no merit, there’s nothing to divest. It’s just “a pretend demand to look like we are demanding something worthwhile.” Who is really behind this all? At pictures taken at a march at one of the state universities, the marchers were not student age. Gary haired men are probably not freshman…
like so many things Haz and Meg do, we really don’t know what is going on behind the scenes.

I thought the same!I believe a large portion of these protestors are not students. They are on someone’s payroll. Interesting that all the blue tents are identical and readily available.
