People are dying because people are lying!-----Manchester Arena Bombing Inquiry Finds Fears of Security Guards Being Called “Racist” Prevented Jihadist From Being Stopped
Manchester Arena Bombing Inquiry Finds Fears of Security Guards Being Called “Racist” Prevented Jihadist From Being Stopped
- Political correctness kills.
"An official inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing has found that one of the reasons for authorities failing to stop jihadist Salmen Abedi from blowing himself up was a fear that they would be called “racist.”
Yes, really.
...Despite security guard Kyle Lawler saying he had a “bad feeling” about the terrorist and felt he “did not belong there,” no action was taken to report the issue or intercept Abedi because he was “scared of being wrong and being branded a racist” and thought he would get into trouble for “judging someone by their race.”...Read all.

Biden Gives Putin List of 16 Things Off-Limits to Attacks - Louder With Crowder:
If Donald Trump ever said anything this stupid, all we'd hear from the media is how he sold out America to Putin. Then they'd go back to questioning the legitimacy of the 2016 election. It appears that Joe Biden losing his train of thought yesterday was a preview of today's meeting. When President Puddingbrain met with Putin to discuss cybersecurity, he had a list of things that were totally off-limits to attack. There were only sixteen things on the list.

The damage done by probability blindness - American Thinker
The damage done by probability blindness - American Thinker:
That fear is blind because it ignores easily calculated probabilities.
- As Bishop Joseph Butler said in 1736, "probability is the very guide of life."
"The coronavirus has generated more blind fear than perhaps any other event in recorded history.
The reported coronavirus deaths in the U.S. now stand at six hundred thousand.
The population of the U.S. is approximately 330 million.
When you divide deaths by the population, the number is less than two-tenths of one percent.
As catastrophes go, that is a relatively small number.
There is a wide disparity of coronavirus deaths among age groups.
That fact has been deliberately ignored by the authorities and the media...Read all.

He was made a full professor a year later.
Most recently, Andrews has complained that the school has not taken his accusations of racism against a colleague seriously enough.
...“I get treated like the uppity negro who should always be grateful for everything and stop complaining,” Andrews told The Independent...Read all.

The fed money this time is for Aspen’s vagrants.

Er, I mean “homeless.”
Er, I mean “persons experiencing homelessness.”
Whom, we’re told, are camping on the sidewalks and pooping in the gutters because they’re afflicted with something called “shelter-resistance.”
Pity the left’s Sisyphean task in the dictionary of euphemisms.
Pity the left’s Sisyphean task in the dictionary of euphemisms.
Once they find and roll up the hill a suitable euphemism for “vagrant,” such as “homeless,” the euphemism rolls back down the hill because it becomes associated with people who behave like vagrants.
Then they have to find and roll up the euphemism hill another heavy, awkward boulder, such as “persons experiencing homelessness.”
