Joe Biden is becoming so defensive, he’s being forced to blatantly lie about his own call for a nationwide mask mandate.
“We’ll have a national mandate to wear a mask,” Slow Joe said during his acceptance speech at the Democrat National Convention.
"A communications professor has been put on leave after students became offended because he used the Chinese word for “that” which sounds like the n-word in English.
Yes, really.
Greg Patton was conducting an online class for the University of California’s Marshall School of Business when the incident occurred.
Patton was trying to explain how the Chinese word for “that” or “that one,” which is written as “Nà gè” and sounds similar to the n-word in English when pronounced, is used as a filler word like “um” is in English.
...Ludicrously, the university also announced that it was “offering supportive measures to any student, faculty, or staff member who requests assistance.”
Let’s talk about anonymous sources – STU
"I have used anonymous sources during my long career in journalism.
I also have been an anonymous source.
SPJ has a Code of Ethics for journalists
So let’s take a look at it, as regards the anti-Trump hit piece in The Atlantic.
It is a hit piece, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
That doesn’t mean it is true, either.
It used four anonymous sources to report that President Trump referred to U.S. war dead as “suckers” and “losers.”
Would the reporting be more credible had author Jeffrey Goldberg named his sources?
Yes, without question. Why didn’t he name them?
Journalists almost always try to get a name to go with the comment.
That’s mentioned in the Code of Ethics. You didn’t know journalists have a Code of Ethics?
It was developed by the Society of Professional Journalists, the largest association of journalists in the U.S.
I have been a member since 1972.
The Code of Ethics is voluntary, a list of recommendations followed by most journalists, even though most journalists are not members.
Here is a passage that deals with anonymous sources: “Consider sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Reserve anonymity for sources who may face danger, retribution or other harm, and have information that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Explain why anonymity was granted.”
...There is another side to the anonymity:
The source has to have confidence in the journalist to protect identity. Whenever you trust a reporter, you are taking a chance, and I would not automatically trust a journalist I did not know...Read all.
“A California district attorney is requiring her prosecutors to consider looters’ ‘needs’ when weighing criminal charges against them,” reports Fox News.
“The new mandate, set forth by Contra Costa County District Attorney Diane Becton, makes it tougher to prosecute looting cases in the county, which sits just outside San Francisco,” the report says.
No matter how many times I watch this video I still can't believe it's not satire | Not the Bee
"I had to go and create a Not the Bee Youtube channel because Facebook wouldn't let me embed this dang video.
Anyway, the following video is an unintentional satirical masterpiece.
I simply cannot believe it's real [Language warning]:
First off, we've got this group of attractive folks blocking a gas station with their raised fists protecting them from all forms of oppression, when a big truck pulls up like "Hey, I need some gas."
Springing to action, the brave protesters band together by holding hands in a surefire effort to block the brand new Ford Super Duty F-250 diesel from entering.
Let's do a reaalll quick search on the engine specs of that monster truck they're trying to stop with their bodies and sheer willpower:
1,050 lb-ft of torque 🤣 Yeah GOOD LUCK!..."

What if these were Republican mayors, in red states, overwhelmed by violent protests from the right wing, confronted by people in MAGA hats or those middle-aged anti-tax tea party activists who always seemed to clean up after themselves when they protested?
What if they were the ones rioting, burning and looting during their “mostly peaceful” protests, with bail money for the arrested provided by the staff of a Republican presidential candidate, and media making it clear there was great political value in the violence?
And what if those Republican activists confronted fellow citizens in restaurants, shouting at them, demanding they demonstrate fealty to their politics by raising a fist?
What if Republican mayors, rather than restore order in their ruined cities and towns, just hid in publicly subsidized fortresses, or bunkered behind police walls while the rest of you were left on your own, and then those mayors just ran off?
"He better have an army if he thinks he's gonna walk down the street in New York," Cuomo warned Trump. "New Yorkers don't want to have anything to do with him."
"He can't have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City, people don't want to have anything to do with him," Cuomo said in a press briefing on Wednesday night, as reported in the New York Post.
Of Trump's review into federal funding of New York City, Cuomo said, "It is more of the same from him. It's political, it is gratuitous. And it's illegal. But it is another attempt to kill New York City."
"Very early in this, I was listening to some doctors explain that the lung damage people were talking about with covid sounded a lot like what happened if you put someone on a ventilator for too long or with too much power.
At the time, I told Marian Doughertythat it sounded like the ventilators might be actually hurting patients more than helping, but of course not being a doctor, I couldn't really say much with any confidence.
But... Here we are now, and it seems like that gut feeling might have been right."
Covid death rates dropped as doctors rejected ventilators
Chances of dying in an intensive care unit fell in line with a decline in the use of mechanical ventilators
CNN's Brian Stelter appears on C-SPAN — and callers absolutely torch him: 'We all know you're not reliable.' - TheBlaze:
CNN's "Reliable Sources" host Brian Stelter appeared Tuesday on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," and people took the opportunity to call in to the live broadcast and issue searing condemnations of Stelter and his network's reporting.
What are the details?
One man called in to comment, starting off with a criticism of CNN, lambasting the outlet for a chyron from last week that read, "Fiery but mostly peaceful protests after police shooting," while buildings burned in the background behind a correspondent reporting from Kenosha, Wisconsin.
