A “Canceled” Student Strikes Back - Morgan Bettinger’s lawsuit against the University of Virginia deserves close attention.
A “Canceled” Student Strikes Back - Morgan Bettinger’s lawsuit against the University of Virginia deserves close attention. - Graham Hillard
"On the evening of July 17, 2020, one of two things happened on a blocked thoroughfare in Charlottesville, Virginia.
- Either Morgan Bettinger, a rising senior at UVA, uttered a threatening and contemptible remark to Black Lives Matter protestors who were barring her way home.
- Or the young woman made an anodyne comment that was immediately—and perhaps intentionally—misunderstood...
"...The Bettinger affair—since covered by the New York Post, Reason, The Daily Mail (UK), and numerous other outlets—turns on a single disputed fact.
Approaching a group of BLM activists crowding the road on the night in question, the UVA senior pulled over, left her vehicle, and spoke to a municipal worker who had positioned his truck as a protective barricade.
- As Bettinger tells the story, she remarked jokingly to the city employee, “It’s a good thing you’re here, because otherwise these people would have been speed bumps.”
- What was heard (or “heard”) by an eavesdropping protestor, however, was something altogether more damning: The assembled activists would make “good speed bumps” for Bettinger’s car.
What happened next will surprise no one who is familiar with the increasing illiberality of America’s universities...
JD Vance proposes measure related to mask mandates - TheBlaze
JD Vance proposes measure related to mask mandates - TheBlaze:
Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio is proposing a measure that would prohibit the imposition of federal mask mandates for air travel, public transit, and educational institutions.
In addition to barring federal officials and entities from imposing mask mandates in those three areas, the aptly titled "Freedom to Breathe Act" would also bar schools and institutions of higher education that receive federal funds, airlines, and public transit operators from refusing service to people who choose not to wear a mask.
There's nowhere near enough power on the grid to convert the U.S. truck ...
- One fleet tried to electrify just 30 trucks at a terminal in Joliet, Illinois. Local officials shut those plans down, saying that would draw more electricity than is needed to power the entire city.
- Another California company tried to electrify 12 forklifts. Not trucks, but forklifts. Local power utilities told them that's not possible.
If the product, charging infrastructure, and power is not available to comply with these unrealistic timelines, then regulators are setting trucking -- and the American consumer -- up for failure.

Biden ditches Medal of Honor ceremony early, leaving heroic Vietnam War veteran alone during benediction - TheBlaze
Biden ditches Medal of Honor ceremony early, leaving heroic Vietnam War veteran alone during benediction - TheBlaze:
Immediately after setting the Medal of Honor around Taylor's neck and giving the tearful veteran a handshake, Biden abruptly bolted out of the East Room as if to beat the traffic.
One reporter can be seen in the video of the ceremony impressed with a look of confusion at the sight of Biden hurrying out, and for good reason: the event was far from over.
Now alone, Taylor remained at his post, waiting for the closing benediction.

Shouting down "fringe climate crisis deniers"!-----Jordan Peterson Generates Millions of YouTube Hits for Climate Crisis Deniers - DeSmog
"Fringe climate crisis deniers who claim that the earth is “cooling” and greenhouse emissions are good for “biological productivity” are getting
exposed to millions more people than they normally would on YouTube thanks to conservative influencer Jordan Peterson.
That’s according to viewership data newly reviewed by DeSmog, which reveals a massive visibility boost for public figures who’ve been active in the climate denial movement for years but whose ideas — such as the claim that plants are growing much better due to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere — are now rarely taken seriously by most legacy media outlets...

Vance to introduce measure preventing federal officials from imposing mask mandates in schools, on airplanes | Fox News:
Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance will introduce legislation Tuesday to crackdown on the ability by the federal government or commercial airlines to force Americans into wearing face masks amid a string of new coronavirus variants.
Titled the Freedom to Breathe Act, the legislation, if passed and signed into law, would prevent President Biden and federal agencies from implementing face mask requirements for public transit passengers or students in schools until Dec. 31, 2024.
Additionally, Vance's office said the measure would prevent federal spending from being used to propose face mask requirements or force Americans to wear face coverings.

Pennsylvania's Democratic governor set to cut off state funds to non-profit that cares for women who choose not to kill their babies: 'Shapiro is choosing extremism' - TheBlaze:
Democrats appear keen to defund those pro-life initiatives that leftist militants could not otherwise destroy or intimidate into closure.
Real Alternatives is a non-profit charitable organization that has for decades provided mothers with support and counseling in Pennsylvania and Indiana. It offers pregnant women temporary shelter; childbirth and parenting classes; referrals; abstinence education; adoption information; free pregnancy self-test kits; mentoring; and various other services.
The economic case against Brexit has now totally collapsed.
Instapundit - OF COURSE IT DID: Brexit Worked: The economic case against Brexit has now totally collapsed."Revised GDP figures have exploded one of the most pervasive Remainer myths about UK economic growth.
“These updated figures suggest that the UK economy is as much as two per cent larger than previously believed.
“These updated figures suggest that the UK economy is as much as two per cent larger than previously believed.
This means that the UK can no longer be considered the worst-performing economy in the G7.
In fact, post-Brexit, the UK recovered from the pandemic at a similar rate to France and at a faster pace than Germany, Europe’s largest economy.
The ONS’s revision is extraordinary.
As one leading economist put it: ‘The entire UK economic narrative – post-pandemic – has just been revised away.’ The very basis for the Remainer elites’ narrative of doom has now been shattered before our eyes.”
Just as with our BLS, there’s a well-publicized figure that supports the preferred narrative, revised much later with much less publicity to a more truthful figure that does not. - by Glenn Reynolds

- ...Most recently, the Denver City Council approved a settlement of $4.7 million to over 300 people who attended Black Lives Matter riots in the summer of 2020 and were arrested by Denver police. The settlement will go to the activists who said that their First Amendment rights were violated by Denver officers, according to CBS News.
- Late last month, a California jury awarded $3.75 million to a man who was hit by Los Angeles officers with hard foam bullets, which are non-lethal weapons, on the night of May 29, 2020 as riots overtook downtown after George Floyd's May 25 death in Minneapolis. Another man was awarded $375,000 for the same reason in March. That same man was awarded an additional $860,000 by the Los Angeles City Council.
- In New York City, officials have agreed to pay more than $13 million to settle a civil rights lawsuit brought forth by around 1,300 people that were arrested by police in the city during the riots. Another class action was settled by the city earlier this year, with an agreement to pay around $45,500 each for at least 200 protestors for "kettling" a group of activists...
