UMass economist blames ‘privatized housing’ for Florida condo collapse
UMass economist blames ‘privatized housing’ for Florida condo collapse
"A professor emeritus of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has blamed “privatized housing” for the recent collapse of a Florida condo building, further charging that it “violates democracy.”
...“Miami’s collapsed condo shows: privatized housing violates democracy. Only condo owners voted to defer building repair. Delivery workers, condo visitors, repairers knew nothing, didn’t vote, risked
injury, death. As irreducibly social, housing must be run democratically by all,” Wolff wrote...Read all!

"The Democrats have a problem: They have run away from their core voters. And they are beginning to notice and worry.
...Just look at the issues the Democrats are pushing:
- defunding the police, which hurts mostly poor and working-class neighborhoods;
- critical race theory, which mostly interests woke white activists (and rich-and-guilty Dem donors) but which actually sends a message of inferiority to minority youths;
- gender ideology, which plays less well among the more traditional and more religious working-class minorities;
- environmental policies that produce higher gas prices and lower employment, while pushing food prices up;
- open borders that drive down wages for downscale workers; and so on.
Donors and activists love this stuff.
They live in neighborhoods that are mostly insulated from urban crime and disorder...Read all.
FLASHBACK: When the Media Blew Off Joe Biden's Cancel-Worthy Racist Comments About Black Students
FLASHBACK: When the Media Blew Off Joe Biden's Cancel-Worthy Racist Comments About Black Students
From The Washington Post, October 24, 2007.
"Joe Biden’s history of making racist comments is known to anyone who consumes alternative media sources, but another one from years past is making the rounds on social media today—and boy is it a doozy.
“There’s less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you’re dealing with,” said Biden.
Yeah, right.
Perhaps the most amusing thing about this is the way the Washington Post excused the blatantly racist remark as a “stumble” rather than calling it out for what it really was: racism.
Imagine if Trump had ever said such a thing. Would the Washington Post dismiss it as a “stumble”? Not a chance...Read all.

WaPo nails Biden White House, Psaki with 3 Pinocchios for their claims that GOP is defunding police - TheBlaze:
However, the Post fact-check explained, "Although Republicans all opposed Biden's coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or defund, anything. Rather, Democrats proposed $350 billion in emergency funds for state and local governments, and Republicans voted against those extra funds. That's not a reduction."

The Social Credit Security State - The American Mind
"Our woke ruling class intends to use both private and public enterprise to police and punish hearts and minds.
President Ronald Reagan famously said, “the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’”
"Our woke ruling class intends to use both private and public enterprise to police and punish hearts and minds.
President Ronald Reagan famously said, “the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’”
But as I’ve argued, many modern conservatives are now more concerned about Angelo Codevilla’s harrowing description of our new American oligarchy as an amalgam of “public” and “private” enterprise. We must conclude that the new “most terrifying words” are, “I’m from the ruling class, and I’m here to subjugate you.”

Andrew Cuomo Announces Disaster Emergency on Guns - Louder With Crowder
Andrew Cuomo Announces Disaster Emergency on Guns - Louder With Crowder:
There were a group of people during the pandemic called "conspiracy theorists." The theorists (hi Courtney) believed that after seeing how quick Americans were to give their rights away in the name of a "public health crisis," politicians were going to use that to call climate change a "public health crisis." That way, they can impose regulations and mandates without having to worry about things like "laws" or "constitutions." Well, those conspiracy theorists were wrong. Politicians are not going to declare climate change a public health crisis. They're going to call "gun violence" a public health crisis. And of course, it's Andrew Cuomo leading the charge.
Here's an interesting fact....

That 350kw generator uses 12 gallons of diesel fuel per hour, and it takes 3 hours to fully charge a car to get 200 miles.
That's 36 GALLONS for 200 MILES!!!
5.6 miles per gallon!"

President Dementia is getting worse - American Thinker
"Can we call it a national security crisis yet? The stress that comes with the job of POTUS seems to be accelerating the cognitive decline of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. at a time when the world is becoming ominously more dangerous.
Embarrassing incidents of inappropriate Biden behavior are accumulating...
In a clear sign that cognitive impairment has destroyed his understanding of normal behavior, not to mention protocol, Joe Biden humiliated himself and the United States by dropping to his knee before a foreign guest in the White House.
Just over a week ago, on June 28, during a White House meeting with Israel's President Rivlin, Biden actually took to his knee before a foreign head of state.
Then he said, "You know what? I have to go down on my knees for honoring ...you for having 12 children," before lowering himself to the floor on one knee and bowing his head.
Ravitz said that Biden also attempted to shake her hand, but Rivlin quickly explained that she is very religious and doesn't shake hands with men.
A photograph of the incident appeared in a tweet:
It turns out that this was the second instance of Biden kneeling last month...Read all!!
Interracial Couple Has Significant Issue with CRT - Louder With Crowder
Interracial Couple Has Significant Issue with CRT - Louder With Crowder:
The largest teachers' union in the country just voted to promote CRT in schools. All 50 states, all 14,000 school districts. Using the pandemic to show how much the teachers' unions hate parents and students was just the warm-up act. The NEA (National Educators Association) said CRT is coming. Democrats have to think up a new lie about CRT being a Fox News myth. That makes videos like this all the more important to amplify. This father has an issue with the idea of white people being evil being promoted to his kids. I'm sure their white mother isn't thrilled about it either.
What Is to Be Done? Preparing the Information Battlespace
What Is to Be Done? Preparing the Information Battlespace--Michael Walsh
"Great commanders understand the importance of choosing their battlefields carefully and, whenever possible, fighting on the most favorable and advantageous terrain.
...Even if the odds are against you, in other words, a smaller and generally more mobile force can defeat a large army if the field of fight is advantageous.
"Great commanders understand the importance of choosing their battlefields carefully and, whenever possible, fighting on the most favorable and advantageous terrain.
...Even if the odds are against you, in other words, a smaller and generally more mobile force can defeat a large army if the field of fight is advantageous.
As American conservatives—traditional Americans, we should more properly call them—continue to reel from the cultural and political onslaught of the Biden/Harris/Ron Klain/Barack Obama administration, it’s about time we come to realize that we are fighting the wrong enemy on the wrong battlefield, without a proper army.
So, what is to be done?
...The truth is, the Democrats were caught with their pants down in 2016, immediately vowed to never let it happen again, and then set about their four-year task of battlespace preparation.

Tucker Carlson Responds to Bombshell Spying Revelations and Burns His Critics to the Ground
"As RedState reported earlier, Tucker Carlson’s previous claims of being spied on and having his communications leaked by the NSA were true.
Axios reported on the leaked emails today, which contained nothing but Carlson attempting to set up an interview with Russia’s Vladamir Putin.
Of note is that NBC News interviewed Putin just a few weeks ago and there is nothing untoward about a news host seeking an interview with an adversarial figure.
Now, Carlson has responded via his show and in the process, he burned his critics and the intel community to the ground.
...Our intel communities are hopelessly corrupt. There is no saving them.
Now, Carlson has responded via his show and in the process, he burned his critics and the intel community to the ground.
...Our intel communities are hopelessly corrupt. There is no saving them.
They need to be completely torn down by the next Republican president.
As to the absolute hacks who are claiming that it’s not spying for the NSA to gather communications of a journalist, unmask him, and then leak to the media, they are the worst kind of bootlickers.
...This is not how things are supposed to work, and anyone defending this is disgusting...Read all!

Black Lives Matter Chapter Declares U.S. Flag 'Hate Symbol' - American Action News

The Utah chapter of Black Lives Matter (BLM) condemned those who display the American flag, which they described as “a symbol of hatred.”
