San Francisco's reparations plan will lead to this surprising outcome for Blacks like me | Fox News

San Francisco's reparations plan will lead to this surprising outcome for Blacks like me | Fox News

Moreover, the notion of reparations assumes that all white people benefited from slavery and have a moral obligation to pay reparations to all Black people. Such an assumption is both unfair and untrue, as not all White people benefited from slavery, nor do all Black people suffer from its legacy. This oversight from the left further illustrates the soft bigotry that accompanies their "solutions," to inequality. 

Not every person born Black in America needs, or wants, a liberal to put their arm around them and take care of them. I for one, am more than capable of taking care of myself, as are most of the Black people I know.

3 years ago American Thinker was the first to call out the fraud of Dr. Anthony Fauci and was viciously attacked by the WaPo, NYT other MSM outlets - American Thinker - By Peter Barry Chowka
"...At the time, the United States was in the first days of an unprecedented nationwide lockdown as a result of the pandemic...
Although Fauci, as director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), had a four-decade-long history of questionable influence on the nation’s health care, the media in March 2020, both left and right, were largely swooning over him. Having reported on Dr. Fauci starting in 1985, however, I knew better.
...My AT blog had the provocative – but entirely justified – title “Anthony Fauci, the NIH's face of the coronavirus, is a Deep-State Hillary Clinton–loving stooge.”
  • The gist of the article was substantive: Fauci, in my opinion and based on the record that I cited, had presided over the creation of an enormous, sclerotic medical bureaucracy in response to the first politically correct disease in history, the gay AIDS “pandemic,” in the 1980s.
  • The AIDS-centric bureaucracy that he was largely responsible for grew to unprecedented proportions that eclipsed and crowded out research on more prevalent, but less trendy, diseases including diabetes, breast cancer, and heart disease.
  • In the early 2000s, AIDS (which resulted in only 2.5% as many deaths as cancer between 1982 and 2020) was still inexplicably the dominant preoccupation of the U.S. medical establishment...

Holding Anti-Fossil-Fuel Leaders Responsible For The Global Energy Crisis - Climate Change Dispatch

...The Causes Of America’s Electricity Crisis

  • Will batteries make unreliable solar/wind reliable? No. Battery storage is expensive and can only provide a given “capacity” (e.g., 1 GW) for a few hours, and only if fully charged. Planned batteries are nowhere near enough to compensate for solar and wind’s unreliability. 11

  • Grid-destroying policy: coercing electric vehicle useAt a time when reliable electricity is scarce and about to become far scarcer, the Federal government and certain state governments are trying to force us to use electric vehicles—which would lead to major increases in electricity use at certain times of the day...

Mom sues military, police who treated her as a 'terrorist' after she complained about sexually explicit elementary school posters - TheBlaze

A New Jersey mother is suing military, police, and other officials after she says they deemed her a "threat" and "treated like a terrorist" for complaining about sexually explicit posters at a local elementary school. "I aim to embolden more parents to assert their fundamental rights in raising their children and voicing their concerns about the public education system," 35-year-old Angela Reading told TheBlaze Saturday.

‘The Great Covid-19 Lie Machine’: Matt Taibbi’s latest Twitter Files dump delves into pandemic censorship - Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
"...The release of Dr. Fauci’s 2020 emails, 
  • reports of vaccinated individuals contracting COVID despite being vaccinated, natural immunity,
  • suggesting COVID was “leaked from a lab,” and 
  • “worrisome jokes” 
were classified as potential misinformation and recommended for censorship by the Virality Project.
...Twitter was one of seven social media platforms that partnered with the project over what they labeled as misinformation during the pandemic.
Taibbi called the Virality Project’s collaboration with Twitter an “Orwellian proof-of-concept” of government, academics, and corporations working together to “control political messaging.”
...The Virality Project evidently wanted to worm its way into every social media platform out there including Gab, Parler, Telegram, and Gettr with an end game of “near-total surveillance of the social media landscape.”

Part 2--Clarice Feldman--You Can Bank on it: A Cheat Sheet on the SVB Collapse - American Thinker

You Can Bank on it: A Cheat Sheet on the SVB Collapse - American Thinker
"...But that’s not all there is to the story.
  • Woke Lending and the Biden Role in It
Kim Strassel reports that the bank, at the inducement of the administration lent money to some 1550 companies in the areas of “climate technology and sustainability.” 
None of these were likely to be profitable, and they put the money SVB lent them on deposit in the bank which bought the government bonds...
Strassel continues:

“We serve those creating positive environmental change,” SVB’s website brags, noting that the bank worked with some 1,550 companies in the “climate technology and sustainability sector.”

Most of these companies weren’t filling some vital market need. Rather, as the Journal reported, SVB was beloved for its willingness to offer “banking services to startups that often weren’t profitable, in some cases didn’t have a product, and would otherwise have a hard time getting a line of credit or a loan from a larger bank.” One tech entrepreneur provided a more scathing description of SVB’s products: “They’re basically subprime business loans. You’re talking about companies that have no credit profile, they’re burning cash and are unlikely to raise the same type of capital because of interest rates.  It was basically social credit.”

What inspires a bank to disregard risk and shower money on products or services that nobody is clamoring to buy?...

Strassel amplifies this in a Wall Street Journal editorial, noting that the $1.2 trillion “infrastructure bill” was “a starting gun for a clean-energy frenzy.”
The act manipulated the market to fund green energy projects rather like Obama’s stimulus bill gave us Solyndra, which after receiving huge federal loan guarantees, collapsed, causing substantial losses...

"Naturally the Washington Post knows with certainty what the current heavy rain spell in California means:
California’s weather is what climate change looks like
. . .[T]he whipsaw experienced in California offers a preview of what scientists figure climate change will look like.
So once again we see the unfalsifiability of climate “science”: 
  • If there’s drought in California, it’s climate change! 
  • If there are heavy rains in California, it’s climate change! 
Neat system they have going. 
It’s like California had perfectly consistent rainfall before evil SUVs took to the road.
Here’s the data going back more than a century:
