Gov. says she supports 'spirit' of defunding police, then clarifies LANSING – Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in an interview Tuesday she supports "the spirit" of defunding the police as a way of reallocating resources... "Defund the police" is a slogan in the Black Lives Matter movement. ...“You look at budgets and they’re focused on policing — they should be focused on education, transportation, access to health care, access to skills and leveling the playing field," Whitmer said on "The Root," according to a WDIV report on clickondetroit.com. If "you do all those other things, you don’t need all the money that’s going to the police departments," Whitmer said in the interview.

It is temporary.

Biden just surrendered a country to a force that uses 1) strict religious dogmato 2) create a repressive, authoritarian and patriarchal state where women are reduced to chattel and sex slaves, 3) implement a bigoted society based on religious beliefs, 4) practice pedophilia, 5) ban education for women, 6) kill LGBTQ people (after they have sex with them, of course), and 7) one that doesn’t give a damn what pronouns you want to use.

Its announcement began with the following mea culpa:
"English as a discipline" has encouraged "colonization, exploitation, extraction and anti-Blackness."
It then expressed the faculty's collective belief: "In light of this historical reality, we believe that undoing persistent, recalcitrant anti-Blackness in our discipline and in our institutions must be the collective responsibility of all faculty, here and elsewhere."
Finally, it announced that "for the 2020-2021 graduate admissions cycle" it will accept "only applicants interested in working in and with Black Studies."

The Ron DeSantis-hating cable news has plenty to cry about this morning. America's Governor Ron DeSantis appeared with the other person who makes them boo-boo-faced, Tucker Carlson. No doubt, they'll attack DeSantis for "partisan politics" while they interview DeSantis opponent and professional Twitter troll Nikki Fried.
DeSantis and Carlson took turns dunking on Joe Biden using DeSantis as a distraction from his own failures: the border, inflation, Afganistan, senility, incontinence, etc. But it's the phrase "medical authoritarianism" that will really get underpants lodged up sphincters. Soiled ones if we're talking about Joe Biden.
"Although climate scientists keep telling that defects in their “hockey stick” proxy reconstructions don’t matter – that
it doesn’t matter whether they use data upside down, that
it doesn’t matter if they cherry pick individual series depending on whether they go up in the 20th century, that
it doesn’t matter if they discard series that don’t go the “right” way (“hide the decline”), that
it doesn’t matter if they used contaminated data or stripbark bristlecones, that such errors don’t matter because the hockey stick itself doesn’t matter – the IPCC remains addicted to hockey sticks:
lo and behold, Figure 1a of its newly minted Summary for Policy-makers contains what else – a hockey stick diagram. If you thought Michael Mann’s hockey stick was bad, imagine a woke hockey stick by woke climate scientists. As the climate scientists say, it’s even worse that we thought.
"...Could Joe Biden’s humiliation get worse? Yes, it could. If American bombers have to destroy American aircraft on the ground to prevent their being used by the Taliban. I am not sure whether that is happening; take this report for what it is worth:
American B-52H bombers are understood to be conducting an attack on the largest Afghan air force base in order to destroy the aircraft based there.
We will know soon enough. In any event, the Biden administration’s misjudgment of the situation on the ground in Afghanistan will bedevil the administration until it draws to a close in 2024.
