Top photojournalist blasts Biden admin for blocking media from documenting border crisis: 'Zero access' - TheBlaze:
John Moore, an award-winning photojournalist for Getty Images, blasted Biden administration officials for obstructing media access.
In fact, the lack of transparency is so bad that Moore said he was forced to do his job — document the border crisis through the medium of photography — by working from the Mexican side of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Moore said that officials in the previous three presidential administrations did not block journalists from documenting immigration operations.

Trump unloads on Biden administration for blaming border crisis on him: 'National triumph into national disaster' - TheBlaze:
"We proudly handed the Biden Administration the most secure border in history. All they had to do was keep this smooth-running system on autopilot," Trump began.
"Instead, in the span of a just few weeks, the Biden Administration has turned a national triumph into a national disaster," he continued. "They are in way over their heads and taking on water fast."

- North Carolina State University students are being required to take a diversity training.
"...North Carolina State University is requiring students to take an online diversity training, to which Campus Reform has gained exclusive access.
...According to the university website, key topics in the training include "identity, selfhood, imposter syndrome, identity transitions, power, privilege, oppression, bias, respect, allyship and self-care."
...The training states that "people with privilege" may use something called "tone-policing," where people attempt to shut others down based on their emotional state, then using it to negate their argument. People with privilege, according to the training, do this in order to "preserve the status quo."...Read all!

Former FDA Commissioner: "Costly" Social Distancing Mandate "Wasn't Based On Clear Science" | ZeroHedge
"...Then Gottlieb dropped some serious truth bombs (which were mysteriously edited out of CNBC's clip above) saying that within a few weeks, it could be "obvious" that masks may be safely removed, and even more significantly, following CDC's flip-flopping and confusing rules this week on distancing in schools:
"This six-foot distancing requirement has probably been the single costliest mitigation tactic that we've employed in response to COVID... and it really wasn't based on clear science... we should have readjucated this much earlier."
Watch this 70 seconds and consider the source - this is not some 'white supremacist, disinformation-spreading, alt-right blogger', this is the former FDA Commissioner who many mainstream media outlets have listened to verbatim through the crisis.
But, but, but, what about Fauci's "science"?

- How the media grotesquely distorted the Atlanta massacres
"The massacres at three massage parlors in the Atlanta area this week, leaving eight human beings dead, others injured, and their families scarred, were horrifying.
...But this story has also been deeply instructive about our national discourse and the state of the American mainstream and elite media.
This story’s coverage is proof, it seems to me, that American journalists have officially abandoned the habit of attempting any kind of “objectivity” in reporting these stories.
...Of those committing violence against Asians, you discover that

"The "rights" fallacy:
"One of the most remarkable--and popular--ways of seeming to argue without actually producing any arguments is to say that some individual or group has a "right" to something that you want to have.
"The "rights" fallacy:
"One of the most remarkable--and popular--ways of seeming to argue without actually producing any arguments is to say that some individual or group has a "right" to something that you want to have.
Conceivably, such statements might mean any number of things.
For example:
1. Some law or government policy has authorized this "right," which is somehow still being denied, thereby prompting reassertion of it's existence.
2. Some generally accepted moral principle has as its corollary that some (or all) people are entitled to what the "right" asserts, though presumably the fact that this right needs to be asserted suggests that others have been slow to see the logical connection.
3. The person asserting the particular "right" in question would like to have some (or all) people have what the right would imply, even if no legal, political, or other authorization for that right currently exists and there is no general consensus that it ought to exist.
In the first two cases, where there is some pre-existing basis for the "right" that is claimed, that basis need only be specified and defended. Still, that requires an argument.

Sen. Chris Murphy forced to issue 'clarification' after undercutting Dem narrative on border crisis - TheBlaze:
Despite attempts from Democratic politicians to downplay the crisis — such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling it a "humanitarian challenge" — immigration activists say the current situation mirrors what was criticized under former President Donald Trump.
"It really does look and feel in many ways like a parent-child separation," Lisa Koop, associate director of legal services at the National Immigrant Justice Center, told USA Today. "The trauma of the separation is very similar."
MUST READ!-----|Death and Lockdowns
Death and Lockdowns
- There’s no proof that lockdowns save lives but plenty of evidence that they end them.
"Now that the 2020 figures have been properly tallied, there’s still no convincing evidence that strict lockdowns reduced the death toll from Covid-19.
But one effect is clear: more deaths from other causes, especially among the young and middle-aged, minorities, and the less affluent.
The best gauge of the pandemic’s impact is what statisticians call “excess mortality,” which compares the overall number of deaths with the total in previous years.
That measure rose among older Americans because of Covid-19, but it rose at an even sharper rate among people aged 15 to 54, and most of those excess deaths were not attributed to the virus.
Some of those deaths could be undetected Covid-19 cases, and some could be unrelated to the pandemic or the lockdowns.
But preliminary reports point to some obvious lockdown-related factors.
- There was a sharp decline in visits to emergency rooms and an increase in fatal heart attacks due to failure to receive prompt treatment.
- Many fewer people were screened for cancer.
- Social isolation contributed to excess deaths from dementia and Alzheimer’s.
- Researchers predicted that the social and economic upheaval would lead to tens of thousands of “deaths of despair” from drug overdoses, alcoholism, and suicide.
- As unemployment surged and mental-health and substance-abuse treatment programs were interrupted, the reported levels of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts increased dramatically, as did alcohol sales and fatal drug overdoses.
- The number of people killed last year in motor-vehicle accidents in the United States rose to the highest level in more than a decade, even though Americans did significantly less driving than in 2019.
...Given that the total number of excess deaths, by the CDC’s calculation, was about 510,000 last year, that leaves more than 130,000 excess deaths from other causes.
How many of those 130,000 people in America were killed by lockdowns?
No one knows, but the number is surely large, and the toll will keep growing this year and beyond. Those deaths won’t make many headlines, and the media won’t feature them in charts like the ones comparing the coronavirus death toll to past wars.
But these needless deaths are the greatest scandal of the pandemic...Must read all!!

Anarchy continues its reign in New York City where even certifiable nuts brandishing lethal weapons are let out of jail without bail every day of the week.
As soon as I was out of his range of fire, I called the police, who arrested him. They seized his crossbow—loaded with a quarrel, or bolt—and also a machete. He was charged with menacing with a deadly weapon, a class A misdemeanor that could result in up to a year in jail. He was RoR’d (released on his own recognizance) immediately...
...Most BLM-Antifa rioters were released without bail and had charges dropped.
- In New York more than 400 rioters and looters arrested in June were freed without bail.
- In Washington DC, in June, almost everyone charged with felony rioting was released from jail and later had the charge dropped.
- In Pennsylvania, when one judge set bail for rioters at $1 million, he was intimidated into reversing the decision after a mob marched on his house.
- In California, a district attorney reportedly requested prosecutors consider looters’ “needs” when deciding to press criminal charges.
- In Minneapolis, where it all began, anti-cop rioters were rewarded, as they were in New York, when the city council voted to defund the police. The city since has descended into hell of crime and disorder.
- As for Portland, Oregon, charges were dropped for 90 percent of rioters arrested in September’s anti cop violence. One 23-year-old charged with attempted murder, arson, possession of a destructive device, and rioting was released on a $1,000 bond.
