Bernard Kerik and Ken Blackwell: Democrats Have Failed the Black Community for Too Long

Bernard Kerik and Ken Blackwell: Democrats Have Failed the Black Community for Too Long:

The Democrat Party has had decades to fulfill its promises to black Americans, but all it’s delivered is crime-ridden cities bereft of economic opportunity. It’s time to shake things up.
In recent weeks, Americans have watched radical leftist anarchists and Antifa thugs engage in extreme violence and murder that will haunt many people for the rest of their lives.

Enbridge reports ‘significant damage’ on Line 5 pipeline to state - mlive.com
ST. IGNACE, MI – The Canadian company Enbridge this week notified the state of Michigan of further significant damage to the Line 5 pipeline running through the Straits of Mackinac, which the company has since shut down.
...A spokesperson for the company said the damage only affected the anchor and not the pipeline itself.
There have not been any leaks, according to the company.
...Enbridge spokesperson Ryan Duffy provided MLive with the following statement: “As part of Enbridge’s seasonal maintenance work on Line 5 in the Straits we have discovered a screw anchor support that has shifted from its original position. 
...We immediately shut down the Line as a precaution and are inspecting the area with divers and the entire pipeline with remotely operated vehicles.
...Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel issued a statement Friday, saying was “deeply troubled” by the most recent discovery of damage to the Line 5 pipeline.
“Yet again, Enbridge has confirmed what we already know — Line 5 is a clear and present danger to our Great Lakes and to the millions of Michiganders who rely on those lakes for recreation, business and tourism,” Nessel wrote in the statement...

DA says Brooks wasn't a threat when he shot Taser at cops. But he said a Taser is 'a deadly weapon.' - TheBlaze

DA says Brooks wasn't a threat when he shot Taser at cops. But he said a Taser is 'a deadly weapon.' - TheBlaze:

But as the officers attempted to arrest Brooks, he resisted. He grabbed the Taser from one of the officers and began to run. Moments before he was shot, Brooks pointed the stun gun back at the officers.
A Taser is a 'deadly weapon'
Yet when announcing charges, Howard told reporters that Brooks "never presented himself as a threat" and "never displayed any aggressive behavior."
Howard's claims seem at odds with his own argument about Tasers just two weeks ago, when he acknowledged that "a Taser is considered as a deadly weapon under Georgia law."

Seattle CHOP organizer: 'I'm not here to peacefully protest' | Fox News
"...Documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz went to Seattle's Capitol Hill Organized Protest area recently and shared with Fox News footage of his interaction with Jaiden Grayson and other leaders of the movement.
"Every day that I show up here, I'm not here to peacefully protest," Grayson told the "U.N. Me" filmmaker, who also embedded himself in Minneapolis protests earlier this month.
"I'm here to disrupt until my demands are met," Grayson continued.
"You cannot rebuild until you break it all the way down."
"It's not a slogan. It's not even a warning," Grayson said. 
"I'm letting people know what comes next."
..."If there's no change, there might be a lot more destroying until there is!" a hooded man wearing sunglasses and a black face cover, told him, "but I think some destruction and looting kinda sends the message to people and breaking their s--t is justified."
Another said, "'F--k the property. f--k the consumption, f--k capitalism."
A woman then said, "white people owned slaves so f--k them."

Shocker: Chicago fraudulent unemployment claims spike

Shocker: Chicago fraudulent unemployment claims spike
"As with most states, Illinois has seen a massive increase in unemployment claims since the lockdowns began and business were forced to close and send their workers home. 
This was particularly true in the densely populated city of Chicago. 
The system was quickly overwhelmed, with newly unemployed workers complaining that they couldn’t get through either the online system or by phone to submit a claim. 
Because of the massive backlog, the government essentially abandoned its normal verification process and began approving claims as soon as they were submitted in an effort to clear the backlog.
Can any of you guess what happened next? 
Incidents of unemployment fraud quickly shot through the roof...

Jaltcoh: Is support for free speech correlated with intelligence?

Jaltcoh: Is support for free speech correlated with intelligence?
"3 studies on that question all point to the answer: yes!

Here's excerpt from that article in Heterodox Academy (an organization founded by Jonathan Haidt):

"we again replicated the positive relationship between cognitive ability and supporting freedom of speech for all groups across the ideological spectrum.

Moreover, ... we found evidence that higher levels of Intellectual Humility could explain the relationship between cognitive ability and free speech support. In other words, those with higher cognitive ability might support principles of free speech because of their greater independence of intellect and ego, openness to revise their viewpoints, respect for others’ viewpoints, and lack of intellectual overconfidence..."

When Will We Stand Up To The Tyrants Of Woke Conformity? – Issues & Insights
"Not so long ago, someone told us “You. Can’t. Say. Anything.” 
This is America in 2020. 
Those who speak outside the narrative established by a hard-left mob that has marched through our institutions are blacklisted. 
If we fail to mount a forceful resistance, there’s a grim future awaiting us.

...What was a non-controversial statement last week is grounds for a death sentence tomorrow. 

...Apologies and appeasement only encourage the bullies. 

The Woke mob never sleeps. 

It lives to cancel the lives of others. 

We are warned: Conform or else.

No manifesto exists to guide the shock troops through their revolutionary occupation of our society. But on Monday, the day Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy was forced to ask forgiveness for the sin of wearing a One America News t-shirt, praising the network, and criticizing the mainstream media, a maniacal Twitter storm from a leftist blogger laid out the belief system that undergirds the movement:

Mike Gundy cannot remain the OK State head coach. Too influential of a position in society. Fire him, unless he agrees to get extensive psychological help...We should rehabilitate any conservatives who are willing to try. We should pay for them to undergo therapy and retraining so they can understand the world around them. But first we must get them out of positions of influence, because they’re infringing on the rights of others...

Got that? 

Those who hold different views are “deranged.” 

They’re criminals. 

Dangerous. 

They shouldn’t be allowed to hold jobs where they might have some influence over others. 

They need to be forced into hard labor (“menial work”) and sent to re-education camps, where they will be brainwashed (“therapy”) to ensure they will engage only in Orwellian goodthink..."
