Hard Data, Hollow Protests | City Journal:
"The FBI released its official crime tally for 2016 today, and the data flies in the face of the rhetoric that professional athletes rehearsed in revived Black Lives Matter protests over the weekend. Nearly 900 additional blacks were killed in 2016 compared with 2015, bringing the black homicide-victim total to 7,881. Those 7,881 “black bodies,” in the parlance of Ta-Nehisi Coates, are 1,305 more than the number of white victims (which in this case includes most Hispanics) for the same period, though blacks are only 13 percent of the nation’s population. The increase in black homicide deaths last year comes on top of a previous 900-victim increase between 2014 and 2015.
Who is killing these black victims? Not whites, and not the police, but other blacks."

Misdiagnosing the Opioid Crisis – InsideSources
Misdiagnosing the Opioid Crisis – InsideSources:
"As a doctor, nobody wants to see a reduction in deaths from opioid overdoses more than me.
But a condition cannot be treated without making the right diagnosis.
Policymakers in Washington and in state capitals are misdiagnosing the opioid crisis as a doctor-patient problem.
Their policies are coming between doctors and patients.
They are preventing doctors from using their judgment and expertise to ease pain and suffering.
They are making many patients suffer needlessly, with some turning in desperation to the black market.
...While raids on black market drug dealers continue to net hauls from a seemingly endless sea of diverted, smuggled or counterfeit prescription opioids and heroin, policymakers can’t shake free of the myth that the opioid crisis is caused by doctors prescribing opioids to their patients in pain.
The numbers show that isn’t the case.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in July that prescriptions of opioids by health care practitioners have continued their steady decline since 2010..."

Support For ObamaCare Plunges As GOP Repeal Effort Fades — Kaiser Poll Finds | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD
Support For ObamaCare Plunges As GOP Repeal Effort Fades — Kaiser Poll Finds | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Republicans should have read the latest ObamaCare polls before deciding to give up on repeal. Public support for the law has dropped sharply, while most like the idea of giving states greater control over health care.
On Monday, the latest attempt to repeal and replace ObamaCare hit a wall after Maine Sen. Susan Collins came out against the Cassidy-Graham bill, joining John McCain and Rand Paul. The bill would have turned ObamaCare's subsidies into block grants, and given states wide latitude on how to regulate health insurance."

Why is the FBI trying to enforce NCAA rules? | New York Post
Why is the FBI trying to enforce NCAA rules? | New York Post
"When exactly did the FBI decide that NCAA regulations were the law of the land?
When did it conclude that, in addition to hunting down terrorists and investigating insider trading, its mandate also included protecting amateurism in college sports?
For years, athletic-shoe companies like Nike and Adidas paid coaches to have their team wear their brand of sneaker.
Were coaches like Rick Pitino, John Thompson and Jim Valvano being bribed by the shoe company representatives?
You certainly could frame it that way.
But nobody did.
Neither law enforcement nor the NCAA ever protested.
In 2006 — to pick just one among the many, many NCAA scandals over the years — two less-than-reputable agents gave the family of the University of Southern California’s star running back, Reggie Bush, gifts and benefits, including the free use of a house, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. They did so in the expectation that Bush would sign with them when he decided to turn pro. (He didn’t.)
Although the university was severely punished by the NCAA, the FBI chose not to look into the matter.
Why would it?
Giving a star athlete’s family the use of a house may be unseemly, and it may violate NCAA’s rules regarding amateurism, but it doesn’t violate the laws of the United States.
Not even close.
And yet on Tuesday, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York — that was Preet Bharara’s old jurisdiction, before the president fired him — announced with great fanfare that it had cracked a college basketball bribery scandal..."

Shock Report: NFL's Oakland Raiders Threw Game After White QB Refused To Kneel For National Anthem | The Daily Sheeple
Shock Report: NFL's Oakland Raiders Threw Game After White QB Refused To Kneel For National Anthem | The Daily Sheeple:
"A new report from The Armstrong and Getty Radio Show has sent shockwaves throughout the sports world after it was claimed that members of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders may have purposefully allowed their star quarterback to get sacked multiple times after he refused to kneel during the National Anthem.
"A new report from The Armstrong and Getty Radio Show has sent shockwaves throughout the sports world after it was claimed that members of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders may have purposefully allowed their star quarterback to get sacked multiple times after he refused to kneel during the National Anthem.
If true, this would essentially mean that an NFL football game was illegally thrown over anger that one of the teams star white players did not believe that kneeling during the nations anthem was the correct way to protest supposed racial injustice in America.
In other words, an epic level scandal..."

Record $135 billion a year for illegal immigration, average $8,075 each, $25,000 in NY
Record $135 billion a year for illegal immigration, average $8,075 each, $25,000 in NY:
"The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet.
And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion."

How the NFL Fleeces Taxpayers - The Atlantic
"Taxpayers fund the stadiums, antitrust law doesn't apply to broadcast deals, the league enjoys nonprofit status, and Commissioner Roger Goodell makes $30 million a year.
It's time to stop the public giveaways to America's richest sports league—and to the feudal lords who own its teams.
Last year was a busy one for public giveaways to the National Football League.
In Virginia, Republican Governor Bob McDonnell, who styles himself as a budget-slashing conservative crusader, took $4 million from taxpayers’ pockets and handed the money to the Washington Redskins, for the team to upgrade a workout facility.
Hoping to avoid scrutiny, McDonnell approved the gift while the state legislature was out of session.
...Twelve teams have turned a profit on stadium subsidies alone—receiving more money than they needed to build their facilities..."
