CBS News drops pretense of objectivity with headline: '3 ways companies can help fight Georgia's restrictive new voting law' - TheBlaze
CBS News drops pretense of objectivity with headline: '3 ways companies can help fight Georgia's restrictive new voting law' - TheBlaze:
It's not an op-ed or a commentary piece. It's not even packaged as "analysis," the favorite term far-left "news" company CNN uses for opinion pieces. It's a straight up news piece on CBSnews.com, and the headline openly takes sides, offering suggestions to companies on "3 ways [they] can help fight Georgia's restrictive new voting law."

Chamberlain Syndrome - Unlicensed Punditry
"History is replete with people who, in word and deed, proposed that acquiescence with an enemy will lead to peace.
Perhaps the most memorable was Neville Chamberlain – and his “Peace in our time” statement after meeting with Hitler in Munich.
...Congress of 1878 saying to the crowd below, “My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time.”
To jubilant applause and cheers, Chamberlain then added, “Now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
As the British people slept, the German army rolled into Czechoslovakia in “peaceful conquest” of the Sudetenland.
America is surrendering today.

Sen. John Kennedy gives CNN a quick biology lesson after network argues it's 'not possible' to determine gender at birth - TheBlaze
Sen. John Kennedy gives CNN a quick biology lesson after network argues it's 'not possible' to determine gender at birth - TheBlaze:
After CNN ran a report on Tuesday about transgender rights in which it claimed it's "not possible to know a person's gender identity at birth" and "there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth," Republican Sen. John Kennedy (La.) decided to stop by Fox News's "Tucker Carlson Tonight" to elucidate the complicated matter.
POLL: What scares you the most?
"I can't believe we're discussing this, Tucker," Kennedy said before delving into a quick biology lesson. "The person who wrote that is entitled to his opinion, but in my opinion, I think he's been in lockdown too long.

New York’s 13% cannabis tax may be too high, since state has ‘one of the most sophisticated’ black markets in U.S.,
"... some experts say the state’s 13% tax may be too high to compete with New York’s robust black market.
...The bill is strongly focused on social equity, ensuring that communities and individuals who suffered the most under the years-long “War on Drugs” can and will benefit from legalization.
...“That sets a new bar on social equity, and it’s an important part of eliminating the black market,” said DiPisa. “You need to provide an entry point for individuals that have been involved in the industry for years. Without that, the black market will continue.”
...“It’s a step in the right direction, but it (the 13% tax) may still be too high,” said DiPisa...Read all.

REAL Fascism descends upon America-----Clarice Feldman--What’s More American than Coke and Baseball?
"Until very recently, it would have been hard to imagine anything more iconic of American life than Coca Cola and baseball.
Today both remind me of Benito Mussolini’s corporatist – aka, fascist -- game of merging of state and corporate power.
The CEOs of these operations should hang their heads in shame and fire their public-relations teams.
So should the CEOs of Delta and American Airlines, Black Rock, Cisco, American Express, and American Airlines, who have promoted President Biden’s false assertions that tightening election procedures to bring them back into line -- and in accord with those of civilized Western governments elsewhere -- is racist voter suppression.
I’m fed up with this never-ending sham: partisan power grabs to weaken the most important features of American life being cloaked in virtuous anti-racism...Read all!

Twitter bans Trump, but Iranian ayatollah, Louis Farrakhan, Chinese propagandists still active
- Richard Spencer, O.J. Simpson, and Nicolas Maduro among those with active accounts
"Trump's ban from Twitter appeared to be part of what many have referred to as a "purge" of the social media giant's users, including former pro-Trump attorneys Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, as well as former National Security Adviser Gen. Michael Flynn.
...However, Twitter's critics are pointing out the glaring exceptions the platform appears to have made for some of the world's most hateful and dangerous voices.
Louis Farrakhan, Richard Spencer, Ali Khamenei, Maduro, O.J. Simpson have more freedom on Twitter than President Trump...Read all.
"...abusive litigation seeking to use the expense of the legal process to suppress public debate on an important subject. ..."-----Update On Michael Mann v. Mark Steyn Litigation
Update On Michael Mann v. Mark Steyn Litigation
"In my last post a couple of days ago, I referred to the defamation lawsuit brought by Michael Mann against Mark Steyn as an example of abusive litigation seeking to use the expense of the legal process to suppress public debate on an important subject.
...To refresh your recollection, here is the key quote from the Steyn 2012 blog post that Mann claims was defamatory:
'Michael Mann was the man behind the fraudulent climate-change “hockey-stick” graph, the very ringmaster of the tree-ring circus. And, when the East Anglia emails came out, Penn State felt obliged to “investigate” Professor Mann. Graham Spanier, the Penn State president forced to resign over Sandusky, was the same cove who investigated Mann. And, as with Sandusky and Paterno, the college declined to find one of its star names guilty of any wrongdoing. If an institution is prepared to cover up systemic statutory rape of minors, what won’t it cover up? Whether or not he’s “the Jerry Sandusky of climate change”, he remains the Michael Mann of climate change, in part because his “investigation” by a deeply corrupt administration was a joke.'
Mann’s central allegation in his case against Steyn is that this passage is defamatory because the “hockey stick” graph is not “fraudulent”; and therefore Steyn’s statement that the graph is “fraudulent” is false.
...The Steyn motion papers point to three ways in which the Hockey Stick graph is fraudulent.
Of the three, the most compelling is the deletion by Mann of certain adverse data that would have destroyed the neat “hockey stick” shape of the graph.
The graph shows a reconstruction of world atmospheric temperatures from about the year 1050 to 2000, where the first 900 years have temperatures flat or slightly declining, followed by a sharp upward move in the last 50 or so years.
The 900 year flat period was derived from several collections of data from tree rings, one of which was provided by a Mann colleague named Keith Briffa.
However, in the most recent years (post-1960) the Briffa series showed a decline in temperatures — an inconvenient fact that would have greatly undermined the intended visual impact of the graphic.
Mann then decided simply to delete the portion of the Briffa data post-1960, while still using the rest...
...One would think that this is about as clear a demonstration of scientific fraud as it is possible to have. And as indicated, this is just one of three instances of fraud in the Hockey Stick graph that are set forth in detail in Steyn’s March 3 submission...Read all.
Georgia House Votes to Eliminate Delta's Tax Breaks - Louder With Crowder
Georgia House Votes to Eliminate Delta's Tax Breaks - Louder With Crowder: Georgia passed a voter integrity bill that liberal activists can't stop lying about. The Liberal Activist in Chief was even lying about it on ESPN last night. And got called out again for lying about it. These same activists bullied Delta CEO Ed Bastian into denouncing a bill he claimed "makes it harder for Georgians to vote" and doesn't line up with Delta's "values." We'll get to those comments in a minute, because Bastian has bigger problems. The House just voted to remove the company's tax breaks.

Activists protest renaming Chicago school after 'oppressor' Barack Obama | Fox News
"I will not be part of renaming a school after someone who did not and does not represent the undocumented community," said District 60 school board member Edgar Castellanos, who says he came to the U.S. as an undocumented child, according to ABC 7 Chicago.
- 'I will not be part of renaming a school after someone who did not and does not represent the undocumented community'
- Immigration activists are objecting to renaming a Chicago school after Barack Obama.
Waukegan's Board of Education met Tuesday evening to debate renaming Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Daniel Webster Middle School, after it was decided the historical figures either owned slaves or supported slavery.
..."We feel that Barack Obama did disservice to us. He denied us, and he didn't stop the deportations, the way he promised," Contreras continued.

After a roomful of hands shot up, Simon then asked: “Is there any evidence that could dissuade you?” Encountering silence, he followed up: “Is there any evidence I could give you—anything at all—that would lead you to reconsider these assumptions?”
"At an environmental forum, Julian Simon once asked: “How many people here believe that the earth is increasingly polluted and that our natural resources are being exhausted?”
After more silence, Simon answered: “Well, excuse me. I’m not dressed for church.”
Today’s Church of Climate holds three resolute beliefs:
- The human influence on climate is pronounced and controlling
- That influence cannot be positive or benign, only catastrophic
- Global governance can and must solve this problem...Read all.
