Chauvin Medical Defense Witness Is Now Being Investigated for Wrong-Think

"One defense witness already had the bloody head of a pig left on what intimidators thought was his front porch in punishment for testifying on behalf of Derek Chauvin.

Now, state-sponsored intimidators are targeting another defense witness in the trial of the police officer accused of killing George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020.

His offense?

Wrong-think.

Dr. David Fowler, the former Maryland medical examiner and forensic pathologist, testified for defendant Derek Chauvin on day 13 of the trial that the former cop’s actions weren’t solely responsible for George Floyd’s death.

And because of this opinion, Maryland will now investigate 17 years of his findings in state cases, which includes the case of Freddie Gray, Anton Black, and other high-profile perps who died in police custody...Read all.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is a booming “white-collar industry,”

"Diversity pays . . . consultants

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is a booming “white-collar industry,” writes Sean Cooper in Tablet. Consultants are thriving.

Pantone has identified 110 skin colors.

Casper Caldarola’s Pollyanna Inc., founded in 2015, consults with private schools on DEI and “antiracism” in New York City and across the nation

...Pollyanna organizes meetings for staff and parents segregated by race, writes Cooper. It offers a proprietary Racial Literacy Curriculum, implemented in all subjects, for kindergarten through 12th grade.

The Racial Literacy Curriculum begins in kindergarten with 5- and 6-year-olds using Pantone Color Charts to match their skin tone so that they might start to see themselves and one another by skin color. “Recognizing and categorizing color is a foundational skill for early grades, and will be used as a platform for upcoming lessons that discuss skin color.”

This sounds like a parody, but apparently it’s not.

In sixth-grade history, children are taught that Nazism was devoted to the rise of “whiteness,” writes Cooper. The genocide of what’s called the “Eastern European Hebrew” race is mentioned only in passing...Read all.

"A CONSERVATIVE IS A LIBERAL WHO’S BEEN MUGGED BY REALITY:

People in Brooklyn Center feel differently about riots and looting than people in DC.

“The respondents closest to the “unrest” aren’t very tolerant of the idea that riots and looting are acceptable forms of protest. In fact, they suggest the people who are doing those things are outside agitators and opportunists. Meanwhile, the folks who answered in DC repeatedly defend rioting as the last means of expressions for groups trying to make a point.”

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): And note this bit:

The subtext here is that most of the respondents in Brooklyn Center, the ones who aren’t rioting fans, are black. “When something like this goes on the opportunistic people come out and they try to dehumanize this,” a man wearing a “veteran” cap said.
Meanwhile, most of the respondents in DC, the ones defending riots, are white women.

Number of NYPD officers who left the force or retired last year spiked 75% amid anti-police hostility - TheBlaze:

Police officers in New York City exited the force in record numbers last year amid a surge in violence and growing anti-police sentiment.

More than 5,300 officers — or roughly 15% of the force — at the New York Police Department either retired or put in their papers to leave in 2020, the New York Post reported after reviewing department data.

In all, 2,600 officers simply left the job, while another 2,746 filed for retirement, bringing the total to a whopping 5,346. That figure marked a 75% increase over the number of officers who left the force during the previous year.

Washington Post ripped for ending Biden fact-checking database for rest of his term | Fox News

"Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler drew fierce criticism Monday after saying he did not plan to maintain a "database" for President Biden's falsehoods beyond his first 100 days in office.

"I have learned my lesson," Kessler tweeted. "'Learned my lesson' means who knows what the next four years will bring."

The Post famously maintained a database of former President Donald Trump's falsehoods during his entire term in office. Kessler called it a "wild ride."

"...It was bad because Mr. Biden announced a 50% cut in carbon emissions in only a few years.

That is going to throw a wet blanket over this booming economy.

Of course it will wreck the fossil fuel sector, which still accounts for 70% of our power.

Speaking of stupid, there’s a study coming out of the University of Michigan that says that to meet the Biden Green New Deal target, America has to stop eating meat, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs, dairy, and animal-based fats.

Migrant Kids Get Copies of Kamala Harris' Book - Louder With Crowder

Migrant Kids Get Copies of Kamala Harris' Book - Louder With Crowder:

The crisis at our southern border - due to the incompetent policies of Joe Biden (allegedly) - is no laughing matter. Only in Biden's brain would it make sense to put Kamala Harris and her nervous laughing tick in charge to fix it. Seriously, the lady needs to read the room once in a while. As the southern border continues to be visited by tens of thousands of illegal immigrants, one person who will not be visiting is Kamala Harris. She says it's not her job. But while she won't bother to physically be there, she will be there in spirit. All minors left unaccompanied by their parents receive a copy of Harris' children's book.

WASHINGTON – Today, at the direction of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rescinded two delegation orders related to the collection of civil financial penalties for noncitizens who fail to depart the U.S., stating they run counter to the agency’s best interest.
“There is no indication that these penalties promoted compliance with noncitizens’ departure obligations,” said Secretary Mayorkas.

“We can enforce our immigration laws without resorting to ineffective and unnecessary punitive measures.”...Read all.

The Ukraine Famine of 1933 was a Government-Made Disaster
"...Yet, there is a paradox.

...No market economy with a liberal democracy suffered through a famine during the 20th century. However, famines produced out of human design increased considerably.

...Fortunately, recent work by Natalya Naumenko in the Journal of Economic History provides us with such a disentanglement in the case of the Holodomor in the Ukraine during the 1930s.
...First of all, the death toll was horrific: six to eight million died in 1933.

...However, the effects of collectivization and government procurements of wheat do provide strong explanatory power: between 52% and 57% of excess mortality is explained by variations in the rate of collectivization of the farm economy across districts.
...As Naumenko summarizes succinctly, it is necessary to “put the blame where it belongs:” at the feet of “government policies that make the food supply susceptible to disaster when environmental conditions are less than perfect.”

This work of economic history is not just worth reading because of its well-executed nature.

It is worth reading because it is a potent reminder of how governments can fuel some of the worst disasters in human history...Read all.
