A Narrative Collapse in Chauvin Trial - American Greatness
- There is almost no reason to trust the media today.
- Their turn toward increasingly crude propaganda undermines their self-image as an important check on power.--By Christopher Roach
"...the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the death last year of George Floyd is currently underway.
The trial result threatens to set off another round of violence and official anti-white racism.
Some of the facts are well known, due to ubiquitous camera phones that captured Floyd’s last moments.
...The Trial Is Not a Slam Dunk So Far
Thus far the state appears more competent than the team brought in against Zimmerman.
Chauvin also appears to have very competent defense counsel.
...Observers following the trial closely have described most of the prosecution witnesses and evidence as middling at best.
...The Narrative Distorts Reality
One serious problem with the media is that it is so used to packaging news into ideological narratives that the general public has no idea really what’s happening.
It’s not just a question of slant or editorializing; the facts are concealed, revealed, or even made up as necessary to support a message.
...For the Chauvin trial, mainstream media reports have uniformly emphasized the prosecution scoring points.
Floyd’s drug use and violent activities have been given short shrift....Read all.

Everything is getting real stupid real fast.
...From a contributor to The New York Times and Esquire, Damon Young:
Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—white people and people who are not white, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850...Read all!
Vaccine Passports to Hell by Jeff Crouere
Vaccine Passports to Hell by Jeff Crouere:
Vaccine passports are the definition of medical tyranny. The entire idea is both Orwellian and dangerous. It is what would be expected in a country ruled by a tyrannical government, not in a constitutional republic.

Study: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez named one of the 'least effective' lawmakers in all of Congress - TheBlaze:
According to the New York Post, Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest member of Congress, was among the "least effective members of the last Congress."
"Ocasio-Cortez introduced a total of 21 bills that the center defined as 'substantive' — but that is where the story ends," the outlet reported. "Her legislation received no action in committees, no floor votes, and none ever became law, according to the center, which takes its data from Congress.gov."

Feds' 2018 Data: 126 times More People Killed by Falling than with Rifles
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) 2018 National Vital Statistics show 37,455 people died from unintentional falls throughout the year.
- Federal 2018 Data: Falling Killed 126 Times More People than Rifles of Any Kind
"Federal data on causes of death in America show that, as recently as 2018, falling accounted for at least 126 times as many fatalities as rifles of any kind — an inconvenient fact for Democrat lawmakers who are currently demanding a new round of nationwide gun controls.
- The same CDC data shows unintentional firearm deaths for 2018 came in at 458, which means accidental death by falling was about 82 times more likely than accidental death via any kind of firearm...
- The FBI figures look at the intentional, criminal use of firearms, and show a total of 297 deaths from rifles of any kind in 2018. This means accidental death by falling occurred 126 times more often than intentional death by a rifle of any kind in 2018.
Breitbart News reported other FBI figures for 2018 showing death by hammers and clubs far exceeded death by rifles of any kind as well. Whereas there were 297 deaths by rifle, 443 people were killed with hammers, clubs, or other “blunt objects.”...Read all.

Maybe.
"Catherine Lhamon, the former Chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and now Biden’s “Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Council for Racial Justice and Equity,” was quoted by ABC News a few days ago:
“[P]ollution and the climate crisis disproportionately threaten the lives and livelihoods of Americans of color.”
But a 2016 report of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights tried to prove exactly that, and ended up with data that showed just the opposite:
The pollution it found was disproportionately in white areas. Of course, the Commission proceeded to ignore its own data.--Posted by

Former Trump chief of staff wants to know why Fauci isn't saying something about the COVID dangers of the border crisis - TheBlaze:
He has warned against going to holiday gatherings, attending sporting events, living life without face masks even if vaccinated, allowing maskless kids to play together, and anything else that tickles his fancy.
But he has been strangely silent about the current border crisis, where our Border Patrol is being overrun by thousands of illegal aliens surging into the U.S. The migrant crisis has raised COVID-19 questions in the minds of many observers.
