Singing the Cakeshop Blues — Again Baker Jack Phillips can’t get a break.

Singing the Cakeshop Blues — Again Baker Jack Phillips can’t get a break.

"...conservatives’ favorite baker has been thrown back into religious liberty limbo.
On June 15, a Denver district court ruled that Jack Phillips, the beleaguered owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver, had broken Colorado’s anti-discrimination laws because he wouldn’t violate his religious beliefs and bake a theme cake for a man celebrating his alleged transition into a woman.
Hang on a second. 

Didn’t we just do this?
Second (and Third) Verse, Same as the First
You’re forgiven for thinking so. 

In 2018, the Supreme Court ruled in a 7-2 decision that this same Jack Phillips could legally refuse to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple because homosexual marriage violated his religious beliefs.
But the Court trod the narrowest path possible to arrive at that decision, a path so faint it may never be found again. 

The Court did not decide that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had denied Phillips his religious liberty per se, but that the commission had been too mean when they considered the case.
Here’s what one commissioner said about the Phillips case...Read all!

#1 This day 1966-----Strangers in the night -Frank Sinatra.

“If you don’t read the newspaper, you are uninformed. If you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed.”

“I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible you may be mistaken.”
"...A commenter here on HVAC and the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect wrote that he tries to interpret news stories using a simple procedure: determine the bias, and then assume the opposite of what the story claims...

• How do we figure out what’s real?

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” (Feynman)
I can go to trusted sources and believe them–just like everybody else does. 

They listen to their sources because they trust them, and they trust them because they’re just like what they’ve always listened to....

• We’ve lots of news sources. Sometimes they tell the truth. How do I know when?

Truth is generally binary, but unfortunately the probability that I trust a story has to be on a spectrum. 

If I have seen the scene myself, I consider it very true. 

OTOH, I don’t always know the context,…
...If the story is from a known liar on a topic which he has lied about in the past and has an interest in lying about again, I judge the probability small. 

But not zero—as Twain noted, you can lie telling the truth—just leave out important context.
...I can assume that if CNN reports on controversial politics or social mores the report is false; either false in its facts or false in its framing. 

But what if they report on a storm, or a revolution in Chad, or a new business? 

They have no obvious reason to lie, except of course the reporter’s need to have an interesting story on a deadline. 

NYT and Daily News reporters have been known to make stuff up—not that long ago, either...

Donald Trump: I built the wall; Biden built a humanitarian catastrophe - Washington Times: 

To top it all off, the Biden administration has announced a new program whereby the U.S. government will literally pay to fly illegal aliens’ relatives from other countries to join them in the United States. 

These policies are utterly depraved — the actions of someone who by all indications wants to completely abolish America’s southern border.

The Looming Stagflationary Debt Crisis by Nouriel Roubini - Project Syndicate

The Looming Stagflationary Debt Crisis by Nouriel Roubini - Project Syndicate

• Years of ultra-loose fiscal and monetary policies have put the global economy on track for a slow-motion train wreck in the coming years. 
  
  
  
• When the crash comes, the stagflation of the 1970s will be combined with the spiraling debt crises of the post-2008 era, leaving major central banks in an impossible position.

NEW YORK – In April, I warned that today’s extremely loose monetary and fiscal policies, when combined with a number of negative supply shocks, could result in 1970s-style stagflation (high inflation alongside a recession). 

In fact, the risk today is even bigger than it was then.

...As matters stand, this slow-motion train wreck looks unavoidable. 

...With inflation rising and stagflationary shocks looming, it is now even more ensnared.
So, too, are the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, and the Bank of England. 

The stagflation of the 1970s will soon meet the debt crises of the post-2008 period. 

The question is not if but when...Read all.

"Ilhan Omar Knows What She’s Doing. 

“Omar, as the kids say, is owning her truth. 

Her tap dance follows a pattern that is by now well established, in which the justice-seeking congresswoman

• pretends to walk them back in the face of muted criticism from her colleagues, 
• characterizes the criticism itself as Islamophobic,

As Rebellion Against Critical Race Theory Grows, Left Turns to Denial

As Rebellion Against Critical Race Theory Grows, Left Turns to Denial: 

Americans are waking up to the threat posed by critical race theory, which is often presented behind a cloak of secrecy and the banner of social justice, and across the country, they are now fighting back.

The Biden administration may have reversed former President Donald Trump’s ban on critical race theory and so-called anti-racist training in government agencies, but Americans from a diverse set of backgrounds are now making this a national fight, which is dramatically playing out on the local and state level.

What has been the response from the left to this popular rebellion against critical race theory?

"Climate change", the weapon that never quits giving.

 

Which Is The Real Party Of Racism?

Which Is The Real Party Of Racism?
"The blasé response to the revelation that Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse belonged to a private “whites only” club and even owned a stake in it, should come as no surprise.
In the Democrats’ race-obsessed world, only Republicans are racist.
Whitehouse confused the issue last week when asked about his membership in Bailey’s Beach Club and its alleged all-white membership, saying: “I think the people who are running the place are still working on that and I’m sorry it hasn’t happened yet.”
Well, it turns out, his family is among the “people who are running the place.”
...So, to ask the by-now-cliched question, if Whitehouse were a Republican would he get a pass from the Democrats?

 Of course not.
The reason is simple. 

Whitehouse, like so many Democrats, portrays himself as a staunch anti-racist, as he did recently during a Senate “moment of silence” to commemorate the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor: “We can and must do better to root out systemic racism in its many forms and meet America’s full promise of justice for all.”...Read all.
