Betsy Devos: Person of the Week


Claim to Fame: U.S. Secretary of Education

Why She's the Person of the Week: for crafting new policies on how colleges deal with sexual harassment and assault cases that would boost protections for those accused. After the Obama administration set went too far in seeking to protect college students claiming they were sexually assaulted, “completely eroding” the due process rights of the accused, DeVos seeks to solve the problem and get back to a balanced playing field:
Under Obama-era Title IX rules, there was a sharp rise in men who say they were unfairly accused of sexual assault on college campuses thanks to a lower standard of evidence for finding guilt as “more likely than not,” but both the accused and accusers have complained about shoddy investigations and biased tribunals. 
The Title IX law, enacted in 1972, forbids discrimination based on sex in education. It was once seen as a measure to ensure equity in college sports, but after President Barack Obama decried the “rape crisis” on our nation’s campuses, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued several “Dear Colleague” letters starting in 2011, directing college administrations to tackle the issue – and prove on paper they were doing so – or risk losing their federal funding. 
The Trump Administration is set to release their new Title IX regulations on campus sexual misconduct this month, in time for the new semester, and is expected to roll back many of the Obama-era crackdowns that burdened colleges and universities and unfairly punished many accused, according to a preliminary draft obtained by The New York Times.
It was back in Fall 2017 that Devos called for replacing Obama-era rules for investigating allegations of sexual violence on campus that “failed too many students” with a more “workable, effective, and fair system.”

“Every survivor of sexual misconduct must be taken seriously. Every student accused of sexual misconduct must know that guilt is not predetermined. These are non-negotiable principles,” DeVos said. “Due process either protects everyone, or it protects no one. The notion that a school must diminish due process rights to better serve the ‘victim’ only creates more victims.”

Meghan McCain: Liberal Scumbag of the Week


Claim to Fame: co-host of "The View" and daughter of late Senator John McCain

Why's She the Liberal Scumbag of the Week: Just when you think that Trump Derangement Syndrome couldn't get any worse, Meghan McCain comes along to prove you wrong. Using her father's own funeral to rebuke President Trump (who wasn't invited) and how worldview, McCain eulogized her dad with a speech that included this statement:
"The America of John McCain is generous and welcoming and bold. She is resourceful and confident and secure. She meets her responsibilities. She speaks quietly because she’s strong. America does not boast because she has no need to. The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great.” she said, to applause.

Her speech kicked off with a swipe as well: “We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness, the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who live lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served.”
Yeah, that's right. Funeral's, which normally serve as a venue to mourn, grieve and/or celebrate a person's life, was instead used by the late Senator's daughter to throw cheap shots at the President. Of course, one would expect this from an anti-Trump (and suddenly pro-McCain) media that hates the President and seems to have conveniently forgotten how much they vilified John McCain when he ran against Barack Obama for President back in 2008. But not the family.

Guess we can now confirm that Meghan Mccain, even in her grief, was just as petty and bitter as her father was when it comes to Trump. But then, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
