THE ENFORCEMENT OF IDEOLOGICAL PURITY: how the topic of black-on-black crime is handled by the left.
"[Lee Fang of The Intercept], of course, had a choice. He didn’t have to apologize. If he didn’t apologize, he wasn’t going to be executed or even sent to an actual Gulag – just a social one. He would have become persona non grata at every liberal media outlet in the US, and apparently he was not willing to do that. A conservative outlet might have hired him, but he wasn’t ready to cast his lot with a group he probably still considers The Enemy. So he apologized and kept his job.Read the whole thing.--Posted by
But maybe, if he’s a true person of the left, his apology wasn’t just pragmatic. It may have been sincere. Like Winston Smith at the end of Nineteen Eighty-Four, and in Fang’s case without even the need for torture and major re-education, perhaps he was ready to sincerely admit the error of his ways. If that was the case, to me it’s even more frightening than if Fang had just sucked it up in order to keep his job. But if he was sincere, it’s a demonstration of how leftists manage to absorb new information and to integrate it into their pre-existing mental map of what’s acceptable and unacceptable. Depending on how far left Fang is, he might just decide that if all the other leftists say he’s guilty of thoughtcrime here, it must therefore be so.

"...The Michigan Civil Rights Commission on Monday, June 15, declined to hire its sole finalist for the open Department of Civil Rights director job, based in part on his ties to former Gov. Rick Snyder’s administration and the Flint water crisis.
The vote to hire Harvey Hollins III, former director of the Michigan Office of Urban Initiatives, tied 4-4 and failed..."

Lt. Col. Allen West on desecration of Confederate monuments: 'History is not there for you to�like or dislike' | Fox News:
Lt. Col. Allen West warned Saturday that Americans toppling Confederate statues or defacing infamous historic symbols were missing the point of that time in U.S. history.
In an interview on "Fox & Friends Weekend" with hosts Jedediah Bila, Pete Hegseth, and Griff Jenkins, the former Florida congressman advised that angry desecration of longstanding monuments to racist historical figures was not the path to take.
"The right thing is for everyone to understand those -- and George Santayana once said -- those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it," he urged.
"History is not there for you to like or dislike, Jedediah. It is there for you to learn from," he told Bila.

"The “Freedom is Slavery” Language Trend in America Continues--PATRICK COLBECK
On Tuesday, June 15th, the U.S. Supreme Court issued their opinion in the Bostock vs Clayton County case.
In this case, the plaintiffs assert that employers who fire them for being gay or transgender violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex.
The entire court case boils down to the definition of the word “sex”.
Does “sex” refer to the over 64 terms for “gender” now prevalent in popular culture or is the term “sex” reserved for the scientific designation of male and female?
Homosexuality and transgenderism clearly existed in society at the time of the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
If the legislature had intended for “sex” to include the “64 terms for gender” including homosexuality and transgenderism, it would have been included in the text of the act.

Let me assure you--they are being treated SUCCESSFULLY in many people.

I don’t care if you hate or love the statues.
Law & order matters.
Go through the legal process to request they be moved to a museum or a school or something but we don’t just let people destroy things that aren’t theirs."

- "Police did nothing as protesters toppled a statue of Christopher Columbus in St. Paul, MN.
- Police did nothing as protesters toppled Confederate statues in Portsmouth, VA.
- Police did nothing as protesters took over Seattle City Hall.
That all happened in the last 24 hours"
The Kountry is Korona Krazy | the Aspen beat
The Kountry is Korona Krazy | the Aspen beat"...Consider a trustafarian Aspen city council boy named Skippy (yes, that’s his real name).
For a guy who’s never had a real job, Skippy is very busy.
He’s organizing the protest thing in Aspen.
Skippy and his gentrified protesters of pallor don’t need to wear masks because even though they’ve never been to the wrong side of the tracks they’re on the right side of history.
What they’re protesting is white people killing black people.
I don’t like people killing people, so that seems like a worthwhile protest.
But they aren’t protesting black people killing white people, which happens twice as often even though blacks are only 13% of the population.
In fact, of all the mixed-race murders (black killing white, Hispanic killing black, white killing Hispanic and so on) the rarest category by far is white people killing black people.
And they aren’t protesting the non-mixed-race murders of blacks killing blacks, which happens 10-times more often than whites killing blacks.
Black lives seem not to matter to these protesters if those black lives are ended by another black.
By the way, if you’re what used to be called a “journalist” reporting these facts in the now-extinct profession of “journalism,” you quickly wind up what used to be called an “ex-journalist.”
You get cancelled...

Janet Shagam - Fact #1: The Infection Fatality Rate for COVID-19...
Fact #1: The Infection Fatality Rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.07-0.20%, in line with seasonal flu
Fact #2: The risk of dying from COVID-19 is much higher than the average IFR for older people and those with co-morbidities, and much lower than the average IFR for younger healthy people, and nearing zero for children
Fact #3: People infected with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic (which is most people) do NOT spread COVID-19
Fact #4: Emerging science shows no spread of COVID-19 in the community (shopping, restaurants, barbers, etc.)
"There is no significant risk of catching the disease when you go shopping. Severe outbreaks of the infection were always a result of people being closer together over a longer period of time…”
Fact #5: Published science shows COVID-19 is NOT spread outdoors
Fact #6: Science shows masks are ineffective to halt the spread of COVID-19, and The WHO recommends they should only be worn by healthy people if treating or living with someone with a COVID-19 infection
Fact #7: There’s no science to support the magic of a six-foot barrier
Fact #8: The idea of locking down an entire society had never been done and has no supportable science, only theoretical modeling
Fact #9: The epidemic models of COVID-19 have been disastrously wrong, and both the people and the practice of modeling has a terrible history
Fact #10: The data shows that lockdowns have NOT had an impact on the course of the disease.
Fact #11: Florida locked down late, opened early, and is doing fine, despite predictions of doom
Fact #12: New York’s above average death rate appears to be driven by a fatal policy error combined with aggressive intubations.
Fact #13: Public health officials and disease epidemiologists do NOT consider the other negative societal consequences of lockdowns
Fact #14: There is a predictive model for the viral arc of COVID-19, it’s called Farr’s Law, and it was discovered over 100 years ago
Fact #15: The lockdowns will cause more death and destruction than COVID-19 ever did
Fact #16: All these phased re-openings are utter nonsense with no science to support them, but they will all be declared a success.

Leader in Seattle's CHAZ demands white occupiers fork over money to black counterparts - TheBlaze
The protest leader went on to subtly threaten the white occupiers by saying that he would remember them.
"White people, I see you. I see every one of you, and I remember your faces. You find that African American person and you give them $10," he said. "Do it!"
