They've been portrayed by the president as violent left-wing radicals and used to scare suburban voters. But an review found most of those arrested in U.S. protests look like regular citizens caught up in the moment — many are young suburban adults.

Just nice citizens "caught up in the moment"---The Liberal Press Can't Stop Defending and Promoting Terrorists

Where liberals rule-----The San Diego Unified School District has announced that it will eliminate its previously used grading standards in order to “combat racism”.
The San Diego Unified School District has announced that it will eliminate its previously used grading standards in order to “combat racism”.
"The move came about after it was revealed that just 7% of D or F grades are handed out to white students, while 23% went to Native Americans, 23% of failing grades went to Hispanics and 20% went to black students.
However, instead of trying to develop an actual understanding of why this is taking place, the school district simply announced that “discrimination” and “racism” were to blame before embarking on a complete do-over of the grading system in order to combat this apparent injustice.
...Teachers will also not be able to consider non-material factors like bad behavior in the classroom and not handing in work on time when grading students.
The horrific irony of this of course is that this will simply incentivize already underperforming students to act out in class and miss coursework deadlines...Read all.

Must read!-----A Momentous Election - American Greatness
A Momentous Election - American Greatness:
- Donald Trump may be an odd ambassador of freedom. But Joe Biden is but a gibbering front for a vanguard that would destroy America as traditionally conceived.
"...I did not, until recently, suspect Joe Biden of serious corruption.
The ongoing revelations from Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” have led me to reconsider that judgment, especially when combined with the ongoing bulletins from Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, who claims that Joe Biden, contrary to his repeated assertions, was involved in discussions about his son’s business dealings. 
So far, I believe, the public is not privy to any smoking-gun evidence about Joe Biden’s involvement, but the gun is warm and the optics are bad.
The implicit oath of omertà followed by the media with respect to the saga of Hunter’s laptop has been truly impressive.
Day after day, the New York Post, which first broke the story a week or so back, has been broadcasting more and more tidbits from this extraordinary trove of perversity and apparent corruption.
No matter that the Post is the country’s fifth-largest paper: Twitter, Facebook, the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, and television news have joined forces to close the public’s eyes, seal its ears, and scream there is nothing to see here, move along, and pay no attention to those muffled cries from the oubliette.
It has been an extraordinary act of malignant solidarity, worthy of the Politburo in the heady days of Joe Stalin’s airbrush...Read all!

Instapundit--TAR. FEATHERS. --Government Cameras Hidden on Private Property? Welcome to Open Fields.
Seated at his kitchen table, finishing off the remains of a Saturday breakfast, Hunter Hollingsworth’s world was rocked by footsteps on his front porch and pounding at the door, punctuated by an aggressive order: “Open up or we’ll kick the door down.”
Surrounded on all sides of his house, and the driveway blocked, Hollingsworth was the target of approximately 10 federal and state wildlife officials packing pistols, shotguns and rifles. And what was Hollingsworth’s crime? Drugs, armed robbery, assault, money laundering? Not quite.
Months prior, in 2018, the Tennessee landowner removed a game camera secretly strapped to a tree on his private land by wildlife officials in order to monitor his activity...Read all.

This compilation of my 2020 “If you need more evidence that climate is about communism…” tweets lets climate activists present their real goal in their own words. Don’t just accept what climate skeptics have been saying for the past several decades. But do take the activists at their word. Keep in mind this small collection is merely what I have tweeted this year under this particular rubric. There is a motherlode of similar sentiments and positions all over the Internet.

"...False positives, which incorrectly identify a healthy person as infected by the virus, can have serious consequences as well, especially in places where the virus is scarce.
...Some rapid tests, which forgo sophisticated laboratory equipment and can deliver results in under an hour, have been criticized for returning high numbers of false positives, especially when used to screen people without symptoms.
Even laboratory tests that rely on a very reliable technique called polymerase chain reaction, or P.C.R., have been known to return the occasional false positive...Read all.

No media outlet is reporting the truly important data from the C-19 pandemic.

"No media outlet is reporting the truly important data from the C-19 pandemic.
"No media outlet is reporting the truly important data from the C-19 pandemic.
The media is focused on cases rather than the deaths compared to the number of cases.
I took the data directly from the CDC website and plotted the 7-day death averages against the 7-day case averages and an interesting picture developed, especially when I told Excel to plot trend lines based on the data.
The death rate is falling even though the case rate is increasing.

That's not the picture the Biden campaign is painting.
Somebody at the White House needs to learn to use a spreadsheet.

Herd Stupidity
- This poor man is trying to educate a lunatic asylum
- "No wonder our constituents are writing to us with ever greater conspiracy theories, because our actions defy rational explanation." Here, here!!
- Gotta love the English rhetorical and debate skill. No teleprompter, no notes
- It is a terrible shame that such voices of reason are drowned out by the doom-mongering “experts” with their catastrophically incorrect modelling.
- This man is a REAL HERO for his country. Not some fake hero shill who wears a mask to save grandma who’s miserable locked up in a nursing home like a prisoner.
