California Faces "Financial Collapse" As It Moves To Allow Businesses To Walk Away From Commercial Leases | Zero Hedge
"One of the bedrocks of modern US capitalism - which is now mutating by the day if not hour as the Fed scrambles to preserve at any cost its the towering edifice after decades of malinvestment, even the nationalziation of the very capital markets that made America great - and one of the constants along with death and taxes, is that residential debt is non-recourse, meaning one can simply walk away from one's mortgage if the bill is untenable, while commercial debt is recourse, or pledged by collateral that has to be handed over to the creditor if an event of default occurs.
However, in the aftermath of the sheer devastation unleashed upon countless small and medium commercial businesses which will be forced to file for bankruptcy by the thousands, this may all change soon.
As the Commercial Observer reports, last Friday, the California Senate Judiciary Committee advanced a bill that would allow small businesses — like cafes, restaurants and bars — to renegotiate and modify lease deals if they have been impacted by shelter-in-place orders and economic shutdowns.
If an agreement isn’t reached after 30 days of negotiations, the tenant can break the lease with no penalty, effectively starting a revolution in the world of credit by retroactively transforming commercial loans into non-recourse debt...

Nathan Silva - "Soooooo.... The CDC admitted they screwed up...
"Soooooo....

The CDC admitted they screwed up COVID19 infection counts and intentionally misled the public; they have apologized, clarifying that the amount of people truly infected is much lower than what was originally reported.

An error so egregious, it made the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute say, “How could the CDC make this mistake? This is a mess."
The American Coronavirus Task Force also admitted to fudging the National COVID19 death count when Dr. Birx said the deaths are people who died “with” COVID19 and not “from” COVID19, thus making the real death count much lower than what is currently being reported....

...For that, we have:

* Added nearly $6 trillion to national debt.

* Laid-off or furloughed 50 million workers.

* Placed 60 million on food stamps...

It wasn't just religious liberty that Chief Justice Roberts strangled | TheHill

It wasn't just religious liberty that Chief Justice Roberts strangled | TheHill:

That opinion is an eye-opener. Roberts accords the right to worship no deference by virtue of its being a fundamental liberty expressly protected by the First Amendment. We are to see it as an activity like any other activity, commercial or social, the pros and cons of which technocrats must weigh in fashioning regulations. The opinion, moreover, champions the power of government officials to dictate to the people who elect them without “second-guessing by an unelected federal judiciary” — exactly the power that the Bill of Rights, and the incorporation jurisprudence by which the court has applied much of it to the states, are meant to deny.
This is truly remarkable because it is so gratuitous.

Models Can't Predict Next Week's Weather, But We Trust Them On Climate Change? | Climate Dispatch

Models Can't Predict Next Week's Weather, But We Trust Them On Climate Change? | Climate Dispatch
"It’s curious … SpaceX has all the money in the world, and they didn’t hire someone who could have accurately predicted the afternoon weather in Florida on May 27, 2020.
It seems like a huge oversight, doesn’t it?
And to think there are scores of nonprofit leaders and academics in Washington, DC, who can accurately predict global temperatures 10, 15, even 50 years into the future.
...No one “knew” the weather would cancel the SpaceX flight, but rather scientists used data to make the best-educated guess which is part of the scientific method we learned about in third grade.
And similarly, no one “knows” what will happen to the earth in 5, 10, 15, 50 years because of climate change.
So quite frankly I’m tired of hearing about it...

George Floyd Protests: Police Shooting “Epidemic” of Unarmed Black Men Is Fiction | National Review

George Floyd Protests: Police Shooting “Epidemic” of Unarmed Black Men Is Fiction | National Review
"Rioters and their enablers claim that the present disorder is justified by an epidemic of police shootings of unarmed black men.
But no such epidemic exists.
...We are asked to believe that the beatings and the violence are the only recourse available to beleaguered people who have time and again been denied justice by the civil authorities.
Some say that this is the comeuppance due to a society that subjugates its people, that the immolated AutoZone and the burgled Target are monuments to our neglect. 
...But the rioters and looters and their apologists are advancing a more specific claim still: that Floyd’s death is not just an individual tragedy worthy of particular outrage, but part of an epidemic of lethal violence perpetrated against unarmed black men by police officers.
That such tragedies happen with startling frequency.
That black men cannot leave the house without getting shot by racist cops.
“It’s important to be here today because we’re dying,” one protester told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“It’s an epidemic.”
This is not supported by the data...

Journalist attacked by Antifa speaks out on group's alleged extremism, radical ideology | Fox News:

Andy Ngo was one of the first journalists to report extensively on the alleged radical roots and motivations of the far-left, extremist group called Antifa — and for that, he was apparently targeted and beaten.

Tessa Majors murder suspect expected to plead guilty Wednesday
"A teen murder suspect in the slaying of Barnard College student Tessa Majors is expected to plead guilty Wednesday for his involvement in her botched mugging death, according to an official.
Zyairr Davis, 13, has admitted to helping Luchiano Lewis, 15, and Rashaun Weaver, 15, rob the 18-year-old college freshman in Morningside Park in December, but has denied being the one who stabbed her.
Lewis allegedly put Majors in “a bear hug or headlock” during the robbery, while Weaver allegedly stabbed her with such fury that feathers flew from her winter coat, authorities have alleged.
The pair were arrested in February some two months after Davis...
