It's called "The Butterfield Effect."
It's called "The Butterfield Effect."--Michael Graham
"It's what happens when someone on the Left makes a statement that is laughably ludicrous on its face,
yet it reveals what the speaker truly believes — no matter how dumb.
"The Butterfield Effect" is named in honor of ace New York Times crime reporter Fox Butterfield, the intrepid analyst responsible for such brilliantly headlined stories as "More Inmates, Despite Drop In Crime," and "Number in Prison Grows Despite Crime Reduction," not to mention the poetic 1997 header, "Crime Keeps on Falling, but Prisons Keep on Filling."
Mr. Butterfield is truly perplexed at what he calls the "paradox" of more criminals in prison coinciding with less crime in neighborhoods.
An observation that might appear obvious to an 8th grader (crooks + jail = fewer crimes) is simply beyond his grasp.
Butterfield of the Times is the poster boy for the greatest conundrum facing the American Left today: How do you explain to people who just don't get it that the problem is they just don't get it?...Read all.

The Truth About the KAREN Movie
The Truth About the KAREN Movie--Paul Joseph Watson
"Hollywood keeps having to make movies about evil white supremacists killing black people because, as much as they try to ‘moral panic’ it into being, it’s not happening in the real world.
In reality, the truth is quite the opposite.

Lunch video-----Wealth, Poverty, and Politics
"Recorded on September 18, 2015---Hoover Institution fellow Thomas Sowell discusses poverty around the world and in the United States.
Poverty in America, he says, compared to the rest of the world, is not severe.
Many poor people in poverty in the United States have one or two cars, central heating, and cell phones.
The real problem for the poor is the destruction of the family, which Sowell argues dramatically increased once welfare policies were introduced in the 1960s."

Horowitz: As the CDC rushes to experiment on children, its own data show K-12 likely have herd immunity - TheBlaze:
Now, ignorant parents are being led by a maleficent government to expand the mask abuse to experimental gene therapy. Just consider the insanity of requiring vaccines for children. According to the latest data from the CDC's VEARS, a 12- to 15-year-old male is eight times more likely to suffer from myocarditis after the second Pfizer shot than from the virus itself.

John B. Calhoun’s Mouse Utopia Experiment and Reflections on the Welfare State
"...What would happen if animals in the wild could count on human sources for their diet and never have to hunt or scrounge?
- One of the more famous ethologists in recent decades was John B. Calhoun, best known for his mouse experiments in the 1960s. To what extent do the mouse utopia lessons apply to humans?

Would the resulting experience offer any lessons for humans who might be subjected to similar conditions?
Not having to work for food and shelter sounds appealing and compassionate, doesn’t it?...Read all!!

- Brown County clerk Sandy Juno says private money displaced career election experts, may have violated state law.
"They had no business doing that," ex-Brown County Clerk Sandy Juno told Just the News, recounting how funding from the Zuckerberg-backed Center for Tech and Civic Life injected chaos and unnecessary changes to how ballots were counted in Green Bay in November.

"We need to be really on top of this, because if this is how elections are going to go, we won't have election integrity," Juno warned...Read all.

...The self-appointed gatekeepers of facts operate under the guise that they have no bias whatsoever and are typically cloaked behind a veil of anonymity.
- Amid rampant censorship of the truth, conservatives are being demonetized and purged from the internet.
In reality, they are merely liberal activists with, no actual journalism experience, intent on reinforcing their preconceived narratives and opinionating news.
Fact-checking is an imminent necessity because “you’re not intelligent enough to adequately read, research and or rationalize for yourself,” the socialist arbiters of truth proclaim, “so, you must rely on us to filter out the ‘fake news.'”
