- When you are living in an information society bifurcated by politics, the genetic fallacy (accepting or rejecting information based on where it comes from) is more pronounced and especially pernicious.
- I've also noticed another fallacy rising, especially when discussing things like Critical Race Theory. It is called the "normalcy bias" - if it hasn't happened to me, or I haven't heard about it, it hasn't happened at all. I've presented direct documentary evidence of teachers being indoctrinated in CRT (training materials) and students being taught it (assigned books and class syllabus) in our local schools, only to be greeted with "Well, that's not what I heard" and "I don't know any teachers who are using it in their classrooms".

12 Years to Disaster? How Climate Activists Distort the Evidence
"Many officials and climate activists claim we have only 12 years to act on global warming.
"Many officials and climate activists claim we have only 12 years to act on global warming.
Where does this figure come from?
A 2018 Special Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The second sentence of that document reads, "Global warming is likely to reach 1.5 degrees C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate."
The 12-year figure comes from subtracting the year of the report, 2018, from the earliest possible date of 1.5 degrees C warming, 2030.
The problem is that this was a statement about the past, dressed up to suggest that it's about the future.

WaPo nails Biden with four Pinocchios on 2nd Amendment: 'Everything in that statement is wrong' - TheBlaze:
The president made the claim last week in a speech advocating for more gun control in the U.S. Biden was calling for an increase in background checks to prevent guns from getting in the hands of violent criminals when he made an odd digression about the Constitution.
"And I might add: The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own," Biden interjected. "You couldn't buy a cannon!"

Why Was $66 Billion Spent on Renewables Before the Texas Blackouts? Because Big Wind and Big Solar Got $22 Billion in Subsidies | RealClearEnergy
explains why the state continues to have electricity shortages.
- The oldest maxim in politics is “follow the money.” That maxim also applies to electric grids.
On Monday, ERCOT, the state’s troubled grid operator, asked Texans to reduce their electricity use.
That request came exactly four months after Texas residents were asked to conserve electricity due to a massive winter storm.
Before going further, I’ll give you the punchline: As I explained in these pages in April, about $66 billion was spent on wind and solar in Texas in the years before the deadly February storm that left millions of Texans without electricity.

In return for that $66 billion, the wind and solar sectors collected about $21.7 billion in local, state, and federal subsidies and incentives.
...Thus for every dollar spent by the wind and solar sectors in Texas, they got roughly 33 cents from taxpayers.

"Green-energy" creates energy outages and giant price increases for all of us!-----Blackouts Loom in California as Electricity Prices Are ‘Absolutely Exploding’
"Two inexorable energy trends are underway in California: soaring electricity prices and ever-worsening reliability – and both trends bode ill for the state’s low- and middle-income consumers.
Last week, the state’s grid operator, the California Independent System Operator, issued a “flex alert” that asked the state’s consumers to reduce their power use “to reduce stress on the grid and avoid power outages.”
- CAISO’s warning of impending electricity shortages heralds another blackout-riddled summer at the same time California’s electricity prices are skyrocketing.

Progressives hate women. They pretended not to when the former president was grabbing people in the no-no area and there were pink crocheted hats to sell. Then leftists found a more better marginalized group to pander to: biological men who identify as women. As biological women who identify as women see opportunity after opportunity taken from them, they're told by the left to shut up and calm down about it. They're also told to shut up and calm down when they see someone's penis flapping around in the women's locker room.

As De Santis said at the signing ceremony, “The sad reality is that only two in five Americans can correctly name the three branches of government, and more than a third of Americans cannot name any of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.” And so, he concluded, “It is abundantly clear that we need to do a much better job of educating our students in civics to prepare them for the rest of their lives.”

Four Biden proposals would dole out taxpayer money based on critical race theory | Washington Examiner
Four Biden proposals would dole out taxpayer money based on critical race theory | Washington Examiner
"What happens when you mix toxic critical race theory with progressive economics? Thanks to President Joe Biden, we may soon find out.
Under Democratic leadership, the federal government is rolling out numerous race-based economic initiatives that explicitly dole out taxpayer money along racially discriminatory lines.
Here are four examples, as identified by Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty attorney Dan Lennington.
- A nearly $10 billion Treasury Department mortgage-assistance initiative plans explicitly to favor “socially disadvantaged individuals,” essentially defined as nonwhite people, in assigning the funds.
- A $1 billion Department of Agriculture initiative targeting “socially disadvantaged farmers” would specifically dole out taxpayer money “based on race and ethnicity.”
- Another USDA program would spend up to $400 million to buy food from “local, regional, and socially disadvantaged farmers,” with “socially disadvantaged” once again basically standing in for “non-white.”
- A $10 billion Small Business Administration credit program intends to emphasize funding businesses with nonwhite ownership.
There are too many problems with this race-based approach to federal spending to count.
For one, the legality and constitutionality of these openly discriminatory government schemes are highly dubious. Some race-based government programs such as affirmative action have, unfortunately, been upheld by courts in the past. However, a federal appeals court ordered a halt to a similar Biden administration initiative that allocated COVID-19 relief funds based on race.

Debunking the scaremongering over the ‘delta variant’ of COVID
Debunking the scaremongering over the ‘delta variant’ of COVID
"Lots of powerful people want you to stay scared about COVID, even as the toll in terms of death and hospitalization continues to plummet in the United States and other advanced countries. Because viruses naturally evolve rapidly, they have a new variant, at first called “The Indian variant” because it was first spotted there. But it has now been renamed the “delta variant,” perhaps to be able to continue to maintain that calling COVID “the Chinese virus,” or “the Wuhan flu,” is racist. The normal practice of naming new diseases after the place they were first identified (German measles, Hong Kong flu, Lyme disease) had to be suspended to protect China’s interests (as the W.H.O. so assiduously does) and to demonize Donald Trump as a racist.
...By specifying that the object is “our attempt to eliminate COVID-19,” Fauci is positing an impossible goal. We haven’t eliminated the common cold or any of the flu variants that plague us every year...
Update: This is just disgraceful! Joe Biden claimed that the delta variant is "deadlier."
America’s Frontline Doctors, that brave group of physicians who have resisted the enforced party line on COVID, has published a video from Britain that takes 3 minutes to show that the appearance and rapid spread of the delta variant in England has led to a decline in hospitalizations and deaths. It is well worth watching as it methodically graphs the data on Covid there, proving that the scaremongering is deceptive propaganda.

Here are some of the interesting comments submitted thus far:
David Bernstein and Brian Leister [sic]:
Professor Brian Leiter and I agree on very little...By seeming to mandate such preferences, the ABA would be taking the decision out of the hands of the individual schools, and instead making it a requirement of accreditation. If a particular law school disagreed with the ABA"s views on diversity, the ABA would nevertheless require that school to act illegally lest its accreditation be threatened.
