He and local authorities were warned, and yet allowed, if not forced, the two violence-prone parties into such close proximity that violence was a near certainty."Friday, September 01, 2017

The Reason So Many Kids Can’t Finish College | Intellectual Takeout:
"...Is it possible that Los Angeles high schools are simply not giving their students the academic skills that they need in order to make it in higher education?
This seems plausible when one looks at the numbers coming out of the district.
In the 2015-16 school year, 77 percent of Los Angeles seniors completed high school.
This means that three in four high school seniors were proficient in reading, math, and other subjects, right?
Not exactly.
When tested for proficiency in reading and math during their 11th grade year, only 42 percent were able to pass muster in English, while 31 percent did so in math.
...Unfortunately, this state of things may not be limited to Los Angeles.
As former New York City public school teacher and principal Bernard Gassaway recently noted in Education Week, public school officials routinely find loopholes through which they inflate graduation rates.
These loopholes include allowing failing students to receive course credit for minimal effort, and also “reclassifying general education students” as those with disabilities in order to “become eligible for a lower graduation threshold...”

James Comey started drafting statement exonerating Hillary Clinton before FBI interviewed her, aides
James Comey started drafting statement exonerating Hillary Clinton before FBI interviewed her, aides:
"Former FBI Director James Comey started to draft a statement exonerating Hillary Clinton in the bureau's investigation into her use of a private email server before the FBI interviewed her or her key witnesses, the Senate Judiciary Committee said Thursday.
"Conclusion first, fact-gathering second — that's no way to run an investigation. The FBI should be held to a higher standard than that, especially in a matter of such great public interest and controversy," "

"Freedom of Assembly is the first and most important right of the Bill of Rights. Today it is being denied in cities like Berkeley and Portland where local left-wing governments have contrived to deny rally permits while giving the masked thugs of their leftist Antifa allies a blank check to assault those whose views they oppose.
In Berkley, Boston and San Francisco, the First Amendment doesn’t exist anymore."

A first: Drug lowers heart risks by curbing inflammation
A first: Drug lowers heart risks by curbing inflammation:
"For the first time, a drug has helped prevent heart attacks by curbing inflammation, a new and very different approach than lowering cholesterol, the focus for many years.
People on the drug also had surprisingly lower cancer death rates, especially from lung cancer.
An anti-tumor effect is an exciting possibility, but it needs much more study because the heart experiment wasn't intended to test that.
Doctors say the results on the drug, canakinumab (can-uh-KIN-yoo-mab), open a new frontier.
Many heart attacks occur in people whose cholesterol is normal and whose main risk is chronic inflammation that can lead to clogged arteries.
"We suddenly know we can address the inflammation itself, the same way we learned almost 25 years ago that we could address cholesterol. It's very exciting," said the study's leader, Dr. Paul Ridker of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston..."

DaTechGuy’s Laws of Media Outrage ANTIFA Election 2018/2020 Edition – Da Tech Guy Blog
Read it all!
the reality is those events are walking talking Trump 2020 ads that are going to coin votes for him in every swing state that the left has to win back if they are going to beat him next time around.
"Ever since I covered the Boston marches this month I’ve been explaining to anyone who will listen that these marches in general and ANTIFA in particular, while making leftists in blue states feel good and self righteous about themselves, are going to coin votes for Donald Trump.
I got an awful lot of pushback on twitter for saying that celebrations of stifling free speech, these chants and the violence that came with them were politically foolish.
Tweets like this were typical
Keep telling yourself that, I'm sure the voters in swing states who are not obsessively anti trump will buy your argument
Accordingly like online leftists the media pretty much ignored ANTIFA’s labeling of all Trump supports as Fascists and Nazis and even defended their violence in accordance to the 1st law of Media outrage which states:
The level of Outrage or interest of the media and their allies on the left concerning any insult or prevarication concerning a person or thing will routinely be equal to the inverse of the degree of the political distance between said media / leftists and the target of said insult or prevarication at the time it is mad
We lo and behold the day after we were treated to ANTIFA chants of “No Trump, No Wall, No USA at all” the blogfather is noticing the same thing I am
I’ve noticed a sudden media pivot against Antifa in the last couple of days, which I assume means that someone has polled this stuff and it’s electoral poison for Democrats. Which should come as no surprise, unless you live in a Media Bubble.
And we’re seeing stuff like this from Joe Scarborough Mika and the panel:
as had Headline News:
Even Michael Moore has figured it out:
The Question is, why the sudden change? Well it’s all in accordance with DaTechGuy’s 2nd Law of Media Outrage
More here.The level of acceptance of the positions and/or actions of any group or organization by the left and media is directly proportional to their current or potential value in electing liberal Democrats.

Blog: Chicago had 14,000 more votes than voters in 2016 general election:
"President Trump continues to receive scorn over his assertion last year that vote fraud accounted for Hillary Clinton's raw vote majority. Democrats and their shills are unanimous in denouncing the "false claims." (The Amazon Washington Post recently called it a "zombie claim.") When the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity was announced, it was denounced as a waste, an attempt to intimidate minorities, and a scheme to violate privacy, which has caused states to refuse to release public data requested by the commission.
