Bari Weiss rips cancel culture on Real Time with Bill Maher - TheBlaze:

Former New York Times opinion editor Bari Weiss ripped cancel culture and had some parting shots at her former employer during her appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday.
"We're used to criticism. Criticism is kosher in the work that we do," Weiss told Bill Maher. "Criticism is great. What cancel culture is about is not criticism. It is about punishment. It is about making a person radioactive. It is about taking away their job."
"The writer Jonathan Rauch [of The Atlantic] called it social murder. And I think that's right," she said.
"It's not just about punishing the sinner. It's not just about punishing the person for being insufficiently pure," Weiss explained. "It's about this sort of secondary boycott of people who would deign to speak to that person or appear on a platform with that person."

"Usually when we come across a cringe video of Joe Biden getting lost mid-sentence or forgetting where he is we focus on Sleepy Joe. 
But the look on Elizabeth Warren’s face as she witnesses what the rest of the two dozen or so viewers were seeing during this podcast says it all.

She completely ‘freezes’ to try and keep from reacting but watch her eyes …

Awkward, yeah?
And c’mon, we’ve never accomplished it?
What?
You know what? 
Never mind."

Ten More Lies About President Trump’s Response to the Coronavirus
"Back in March, I posted “The Top 10 Lies About President Trump’s Response to the Coronavirus.” 
It’s been just over four months since that post and an update seems to be in order because the lies just haven’t stopped. 
The media focused its attention on the coronavirus pandemic—after everything from the Russia collusion hoax to the bogus impeachment failed to oust President Trump. 
The pandemic would be their Hail Mary. 
Once they were no longer distracted by impeachment, the media began immediately to undermine public confidence in Trump’s response to the coronavirus, and continues to this day. 
Below I present ten more lies to add to the list.

10. Obama did a better job with H1N1

The common refrain from the left when comparisons are made between the government’s responses to H1N1 and COVID-19 is that only 12,469 died from H1N1, according to the CDC. But this leaves out important context. The CDC estimates that in the United States alone between April 12, 2009, and April 10, 2010, there were nearly 61 million cases of H1N1.

Based on these numbers, H1N1 had a mortality rate of .02 percent. According to the CDC’s latest estimate, the coronavirus has an overall mortality rate of .4 percent for symptomatic cases (or .26 percent if you include asymptomatic cases) meaning that the coronavirus is 13-20 times more deadly than H1N1.

The coronavirus is not only magnitudes more deadly than H1N1, but also more infectious. According to a study from Emerging Infectious Diseases, COVID-19 has a median R0 value (a mathematical term for how contagious a disease is) of 5.7, while H1N1 had an R0 value between 1.4 and 1.6. So, COVID-19 is nearly four times more infectious and 13-20 times more deadly than H1N1.

Ron Klain, who was Biden’s chief of staff at the time and is currently advising his campaign, says it was mere luck that H1N1 wasn’t more deadly.  “It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history,” Klain said of H1N1 in 2019. “It had nothing to do with us doing anything right. It just had to do with luck. If anyone thinks that this can’t happen again, they don’t have to go back to 1918, they just have to go back to 2009, 2010, and imagine a virus with a different lethality, and you can just do the math on that.”

I did the math. If H1N1 had been as infectious as the coronavirus and had the same mortality rate as the coronavirus, there would have been 231 million infections (that’s 70 percent of the country) and 600,704 deaths. Based on Obama’s handling of H1N1, he would have botched coronavirus pandemic too.

* No police? We better buy a gun.
* Let rioters, vandals, & arsonists plunder with impunity? We better increase the police force.

* Close universities? We might as well start working & just take a few online classes.
* Let cities become havens for lawlessness? We'll move to a safer place with less taxes.

What Causes Rising Atmospheric CO2? | Science Matters:
"This post is prompted by a recent exchange with those reasserting the “consensus” view attributing all additional atmospheric CO2 to humans burning fossil fuels.

• The IPCC doctrine which has long been promoted goes as follows. 

We have a number over here for monthly fossil fuel CO2 emissions, and a number over there for monthly atmospheric CO2.
We don’t have good numbers for the rest of it-oceans, soils, biosphere–though rough estimates are orders of magnitude higher, dwarfing human CO2. 
So we ignore nature and assume it is always a sink, explaining the difference between the two numbers we do have.
Easy peasy, science settled.

• What about the fact that nature continues to absorb about half of human emissions, even while FF CO2 increased by 60% over the last 2 decades? 
• What about the fact that so far in 2020 FF CO2 has declined significantly with no discernable impact on rising atmospheric CO2?...Read all.

5 Ways Wikipedia Editors Support and Protect Antifa

5 Ways Wikipedia Editors Support and Protect Antifa:

Some of the most extreme political bias on Wikipedia involves editors who support the violent left-wing group Antifa and protect the group’s image on the site. This has included downplaying Antifa’s far-left views and violence, even censoring major incidents and involvement in recent rioting. Many Antifa supporters, including self-identified anarchists and socialists, have taken to smearing the group’s opponents to defend violence against those opponents and portray their concerns as paranoia.
Here are five techniques many of these editors have used to exploit Wikipedia in furtherance of an agenda defending and supporting the political violence of Antifa:
