Sheriff Tells Library 'Please Do Not Feel The Need To Call 911' After They Promote Black Lives Matter - The Police Tribune
"Minden, NV – The sheriff of Douglas County told the local public library he hoped they didn’t “feel the need to call 911 for help” after the library director posted a proposed diversity statement to social media in support of Black Lives Matter.
The draft diversity statement posted to the Douglas County Public Library’s official Facebook page said in part that the library “denounces all acts of violence, racism, and disregard for human rights. We support #Black Lives Matter. We resolutely assert and believe that all forms of racism, hatred, inequality, and injustice don’t belong in our society,” the Reno Gazette Journal reported.
...Douglas County Sheriff Dan Coverley sent a scathing letter to the library’s board on Monday night and shared it on the sheriff department’s website.
...“At the same time, data simply does not support claims that law enforcement is systemically racist or structurally biased.
Despite the lack of available evidence to support the anti-police narrative, it proliferates and has spawned radical reactions such as the current calls to ‘defund the police,’ as well as increases in violence against police—ranging from assaults to assassinations.”
The letter went on to quote accurate statistics on police shootings of civilians and data on assaults and murders of police officers.
The sheriff pointed out in the letter that when local leaders don’t support their law enforcement departments, officers get killed...

CDC Director Says There are More Suicides and Overdoses than COVID Deaths
"Center for Disease Control Director Robert Redfield testified in a Buck Institute webinar that suicides and drug overdoses have surpassed the death rate for COVID-19.
Redfield argued that lockdowns and lack of public schooling constituted a disproportionally negative impact on young peoples’ mental health.
“We’re seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID. 
We’re seeing far greater deaths from drug overdose that are above excess that we had as background than we are seeing the deaths from COVID,” he said...Read all.

When ‘j’accuse’ is just a smear | Spectator USA

When ‘j’accuse’ is just a smear | Spectator USA:

• The false, malicious attacks on the Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass

"Last week, the Chicago Tribune’s most prominent writer, John Kass, wrote a column decrying the rise in urban violence. 
Its compelling title: ‘Something grows in the big cities run by Democrats: an overwhelming sense of lawlessness.’

In today’s woke world, it is risky to speak such hard truths about gang shootings, unprosecuted shoplifting, looting, carjackings and more. 
This rising lawlessness is often cloaked in the language of protest, racial justice and income equality. Speaking out against it runs real risks. 
You might be doxxed, your home tagged with graffiti, or your family threatened. 
If you are a columnist, like John Kass, you might face ostracism from left-wing colleagues, attacks by the reporters’ union, and concessions to the mob by your paper’s editor, Colin McMahon.

The dispute began when the union representing Tribune writers (of which Kass is not a member) decided to go after him, full-bore. 
Their false charge was…wait for it…Kass’s column was anti-Semitic. 
Why? 
Because Kass noted that a major accelerant of urban violence has been the weak response by public officials, especially state and local prosecutors. 
Some of those prosecutors won office as part of a progressive political movement, specifically focused on winning control of prosecutors’ offices. 
That quiet movement had met with a lot of electoral success. 
One of its major supporters and funders is George Soros. 
Soros’s family background is Jewish...Read all.

BOMBSHELL: Leaked documents reveal Seattle City Council's plan to abolish FAR MORE than the police - TheBlaze

BOMBSHELL: Leaked documents reveal Seattle City Council's plan to abolish FAR MORE than the police - TheBlaze:

On the heels of the Seattle City Council's vehement support for cutting the police department by 50%, the council's next plan is to abolish prisons, municipal courts, and ultimately the entire criminal justice system, according to several documents leaked from the King County Executive's Office in Seattle.
The documents, which read like a critical race theory paper or a far-left diversity training pamphlet, detail a plan that has apparently been years in the making. They argue America's criminal justice system is a "white supremacist institution" that must be dismantled entirely.

Scientists Skeptical of Anthropogenic Global Warming--Gregory Wrightstone

"I had a hilarious post yesterday from a connection in Wales:

"You never hear Spaniards going "I dream of moving to Wales". 

The Climate is too hot here in Spain - what I'd like is pissing, freezing rain 360 days of the year, with loads of damp and mould growing on the stuff out in the shed! 

I have had enough of this warmth! 

Bring on Cardiff!".
But every second Welsh/English person wants to move to Spain - for the Climate.
"Global Warming!" 

Good. 

It's bloody freezing here most days. 

Some warmth would be welcome. 

If it meant 20 Islands in the pacific got submerged and the 50 people who live there had to move to the next higher Paradise Island - I'm pretty Ok with that Sacrifice too as it happens.

At least you wouldn't need to do a short Spetznaz Induction course before stripping off to have a shower in the Baltic conditions that prevail here."
