The Chinese government propaganda outlet Global Times bizarrely defended the pro-communist Hong Kong government’s shutdown of the independent Apple Daily on Friday by claiming that the U.S. Constitution limited free speech in cases of “filth.”

Senate Democrats Block GOP Effort to End the Federal Mask Mandate
Senate Democrats Block GOP Effort to End the Federal Mask Mandate:
Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) and Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) effort to end the federal mask mandate requiring masks to be worn on public transportation, with Scott concluding Democrats only care about following “their political science.”
Last week, Scott introduced the Stop Mandating Additional Requirements for Travel (SMART) Act, which would bar the federal government from requiring Americans to wear masks on public transportation, but he could not garner unanimous consent to get the bill out of committee and onto the floor.

They Are Gaslighting Us! Nightmarish Inflation Is Already Here But The Fed Is Denying That It Even Exists
"They would like us to believe that what we can see happening right in front of our eyes is not actually real.
"They would like us to believe that what we can see happening right in front of our eyes is not actually real.
Over the past year, our politicians in Washington have gone on the largest spending binge in U.S. history by a very wide margin, and the Federal Reserve has created the most enormous financial bubble of all time by pumping trillions upon trillions of fresh dollars into the financial markets.
Of course this was going to cause very painful inflation, and prices are rising very aggressively all around us.
But Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and other leaders in Washington are trying to convince us that even though they added all of this money to the system it has hardly affected the overall rate of inflation at all.
They are “gaslighting” us, and it is absolutely infuriating...Read all!

Where is the liberal outrage?-----Homicides Have Skyrocketed in These 6 Democratic Cities
"The number of homicides in six major cities across the country has increased compared to last year, disproportionately affecting black people, according to crime data.
Black people have represented a massive share of murder victims in six major cities through the first six months of 2021 compared to last year, which itself saw a large crime surge, according to data analyzed by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
...The percentage of murder victims in Chicago that were black increased from 70% in 2020 to 81% in 2021 while that figure increased from 60% to 90% year-over-year in Milwaukee, the data showed...Read all.

Horowitz: As the CDC rushes to experiment on children, its own data show K-12 likely have herd immunity - TheBlaze:
We know from most places in the country, including the Los Angeles area, that the virus essentially became extinct when they reached the 40% infection mark. The virus seemed to wane in almost every part of the country when serology tests showed about 40% with antibodies, and if the CDC is estimating that school-age children had an even slightly higher rate, it means they are certainly immune without the vaccine. In other words, not only is the virus not serious enough to experiment with a new vaccine for children, it has likely passed.
Credit Reporting May Be a Precursor to Discriminatory Lending Quotas
Credit Reporting May Be a Precursor to Discriminatory Lending Quotas
"Ostensibly to deter such discrimination, a proposal in Congress (HR 1443) would require small-business lenders to furnish data to the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau detailing the LGBTQ business ownership status of credit applicants.
That mirrors current law imposing similar reporting on female or minority business ownership.

But regardless of the supposed intent of the bill’s proponents, reporting requirements serve as a next step in bringing quotas to the credit markets.

Soooo, they're lying. What are they doing to to your food?????-----Adding ‘Equity’ Charges to Customers’ Checks to Fight Oppression
- Will making customers pay “equity” charges backfire? Probably.
...On its website, Broders’ has a notice to customers notifying them of a new 15 percent “benefits and equity” charge they’ve instituted.
They justify the charge,
- first, by explaining that “many states have allowed reduced minimum wages for service staff in the form of a tip credit.” (More on this in a minute.)
- The restaurant’s second justification is that many tippers are racist and sexist, according to uncited research. “Studies have also shown that there is inequity and built-in bias in the way consumers give tips,” the statement reads. “In general, Black or Brown servers receive less tips than Caucasian servers. There is gender bias as well.”

Black Holes Are Connected To ‘Racial Blackness,’ Cornell U Course Says
"An astronomy course at prestigious Cornell University, concerned about racism in the universe, not just Planet Earth, asked the deathless question: “Is there a connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness?”
...the course, titled “Black Holes: Race and the Cosmos,”...catalog description reads:
'Conventional wisdom would have it that the “black” in black holes has nothing to do with race. ...Contemporary Black Studies theorists, artists, fiction writers implicitly and explicitly posit just such a connection.
Theorists use astronomy concepts like “black holes” and “event horizons” to interpret the history of race in creative ways, while artists and musicians conjure blackness through cosmological themes and images. Co-taught by professors in Comparative Literature and Astronomy, this course will introduce students to the fundamentals of astronomy concepts through readings in Black Studies...Read all.

Progressives demand Biden erase student debt so they can go back to school; say marriage, kids are 'luxuries' they can't afford without gov't help - TheBlaze:
In a BuzzFeed News article published Tuesday, 35 readers provided feedback to a public response form about what $10,000 in student loan debt forgiveness would mean for them. Some of the results were shocking.
A surprising number of responders lamented the burden that taking out loans for school has laid on them — while simultaneously pledging to return to school if the debt is forgiven (emphasis added):
