So, the occupancy rules are garbage. Fresh air and fans are just as effective as an expensive filtration system. The 'six-feet apart' rule is ridiculous, and masks don’t protect you all that much. So, Fauci was wrong. The experts were wrong. But they’re so arrogant they cannot admit a mistake. They’ve taken a scared straight approach.

Philadelphia, New Jersey facing police shortage, retirement - TheBlaze:
Following the "defund the police" movement and the "abolish the police" movement, constant negative coverage of law enforcement by the media, anti-police sentiment becoming mainstream, and the threat of riots have contributed to a police shortage across the country.

There is no climate emergency - Washington Times
- We love CO2 and so should you
"...Concentrations of this gas are slightly less than 420 parts-per-million (ppm), or one-sixth the average historic levels of 2,600 ppm for the last 600 million years.
Increases in carbon dioxide in the last 150 years, largely from the burning of fossil fuels, have reversed a dangerous downward trend in the gas’ concentration.
During the last glacial period, concentrations nearly reached the “line of death” at 150 parts per million, below which plants die.
Viewed in the long-term geologic context, we are actually CO2 impoverished.
The most recent claim from the purveyors of climate catastrophe is that recent temperature increases are “unusual and unprecedented.”
However, records indicate that modern warming began more than 300 years ago in the depths of the horrific Little Ice Age.
The first 250 years of that warming preceded 20th century CO2 increases and were necessarily 100% naturally driven.
Context is important when reviewing climate and temperature data...Read all.
Law student confronts Ted Cruz on Republican 'court packing' and gets taken to school - TheBlaze
Law student confronts Ted Cruz on Republican 'court packing' and gets taken to school - TheBlaze:
Cruz was speaking at a news conference with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) in front of the Supreme Court about a Democratic bill to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court from nine to 13. The senator from Texas accused Democrats of making a "power grab."
"You didn't see Republicans, when we had control of the Senate, try to rig the game. You didn't see us try to pack the court," he said.
After his remarks, a self-identified "law student" approached the senators and demanded to know what the difference was between "packing the courts" and the Republican Senate majority's actions in 2016 to prevent a Democratic president from filling vacancies on the court and in 2020 to install a Republican-nominated justice.
An American Epidemic of ‘Covid Mania’
- The problem isn’t only the overreaction to the virus but the diminution of every other problem.
It depends who you ask.
Some believe politicization of the pandemic response cost lives.
Others believe a stronger U.S. public-health system would have reduced Covid-19 deaths significantly.
Still others say lockdowns should have been longer and more stringent, or that they were ineffective.
- But one lesson that should transcend ideological differences: Don’t put one illness above all other problems in society, a condition known as “Covid mania.”

"Oscars Opens With Actress Saying 'If Things Had Gone Differently This Week in Minneapolis, I Might Have Traded My Heels for Marching Boots' (VIDEO)
"The Oscars is off to a sickeningly woke start, opening with an actress saying that “if things had gone differently this past week in Minneapolis, I might have traded in my heels for marching boots.”
Actress Regina King, who had a supporting role in Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, kicked off the show by talking about the Derek Chauvin trial.
“We are mourning the loss of so many, and I have to be honest, if things had gone differently this past week in Minneapolis, I might have traded in my heels for marching boots,” King said.
King went on to correctly acknowledge that many of us want celebrities to shut the heck up."

She added that citizens voted for the school board members — and not for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"We chose you to make decisions that would be in our children's best interest," Taylor told the board. "Enforcing 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9-year-old little children to cover their noses and their mouths — where they breathe — for seven hours a day, every day for the last nine months for a virus that you know doesn't affect them! That is not in their best interest!"

"Two different topics, but the same problem:
Meanwhile, over there at NBC, the thwarted stabbing rampage by teenager Ma’Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio was, shall we say, straight out of make-it-up land. NewsBusters’ own Nicholas Fondacaro caught the Peacock network dead to rights -- er -- dead to wrongs -- as it played make-it-up with the story.
"Two different topics, but the same problem:
1. There is no crisis at the border.
2. And “authorities say (Ma’Khia Bryant) was wielding a knife.”
The Examiner’s story began this way:
“Don't call it a ‘crisis.’
- Thus reported, successively, Politico and NBC News produced two vivid examples of exactly why millions of Americans no longer trust the mainstream liberal media.

Politico is the latest news outlet to order its staff not to use the word ‘crisis’ when reporting on the massive influx of illegal immigrants at the southern border..

Nicholas’s quite accurate headline: "NBC Deceptively Edits 911 Call, Casts Doubt on Cop’s Need to Protect a Life."
He reported -- accurately -- this:
“On the same day former police offer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd, a Columbus, Ohio officer shot and killed a 16-year-old black teen, Ma’khia Bryant.
“On the same day former police offer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd, a Columbus, Ohio officer shot and killed a 16-year-old black teen, Ma’khia Bryant.
Though the left would like to conflate the two incidents, the latter commanded a huge difference: the teen was about to plunge a knife into another girl.
But NBC Nightly News didn’t want to clearly show that part of the body camera footage on Wednesday, and they deceptively edited the 911 call to leave out witness accounts of an attempted stabbing.”
Nicholas compared the NBC report to those of ABC and CBS, noting this oh-so-curious NBC “reporting.”
“And whenever the subject of Bryant wielding a knife was broached, it was framed (by NBC) as something that was purported by police.

Must READ!-----The Failure of Imperial College Modeling Is Far Worse than We Knew
Ferguson predicted catastrophic death tolls back on March 16, 2020 unless governments around the world adopted his preferred suite of nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to ward off the pandemic. Most countries followed his advice, particularly after the United Kingdom and United States governments explicitly invoked his report as a justification for lockdowns.
Ferguson’s team at Imperial would soon claim credit for saving millions of lives through these policies – a figure they arrived at through a ludicrously unscientific exercise where they purported to validate their model by using its own hypothetical projections as a counterfactual of what would happen without lockdowns. But the June hearing in Parliament drew attention to another real-world test of the Imperial team’s modeling, this one based on actual evidence.
As Europe descended into the first round of its now year-long experiment with shelter-in-place restrictions, Sweden famously shirked the strategy recommended by Ferguson. In doing so, they also created the conditions of a natural experiment to see how their coronavirus numbers performed against the epidemiology models...
I was one of the first people to call attention to the Uppsala adaptation of Ferguson’s model back on April 30, 2020. Even at that early date, the model showed clear signs of faltering.
...Imperial College wildly overstated the projected deaths in each country under both its “unmitigated” scenario and its NPI-reliant “social distancing” scenario – including by orders of magnitude in several cases.
Similar exaggerations may be found in almost every other country where Imperial released projections, even as most of them opted to lock down.
...Just over one year ago, the epidemiology modeling of Neil Ferguson and Imperial College played a preeminent role in shutting down most of the world.
The exaggerated forecasts of this modeling team are now impossible to downplay or deny, and extend to almost every country on earth.
Indeed, they may well constitute one of the greatest scientific failures in modern human history."

Fauci hits out at Sen. Ron Johnson for questioning 'push to make sure everybody gets a vaccine' - TheBlaze:
Following backlash over his remarks, Johnson issued a statement Friday, saying:
Everyone should have the right to gather information, consult with their doctor and decide for themselves whether to get vaccinated. I strongly supported Operation Warp Speed, and celebrated its astonishingly rapid success. Now I believe government's role (and therefore my role) is to help ensure transparency so that people have as much information as possible to make an informed decision for themselves.

“Duggan Flanakin recently commented on how India and Africa are building more coal and gas-fired power plants … to modernize their countries, create jobs, and lift their people out of poverty, misery and disease … while America, Europe and other Western nations feverishly abandon fossil fuels, and demand that poor developing countries rely entirely on wind, solar and biofuel power, without regard for the economic, employment, environmental or human rights consequences,” writes Paul Driessen.
“In this final article in his 3-part series, Duggan looks at what Chinese President Xi Jinping is so cleverly saying – and what he and his country are actually doing on fossil fuels, “green” energy and global cooperation.”

Women's Advocates Alarmed as Soros-backed San Francisco DA Drops Domestic Violence Charges
Women's Advocates Alarmed as Soros-backed San Francisco DA Drops Domestic Violence Charges:
Women’s groups are expressing alarm as San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin has decreased the rate at which domestic violence charges are filed, allowing many suspects to go free and potentially putting women and children in danger.
Boudin was backed by billionaire left-wing donor George Soros in his 2019 election race — one of several left-wing prosecutors Soros has funded in a bid to overturn criminal justice in the U.S., long before the George Floyd case.

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson Explains It's Not Racist to Require ID for Voting:
Am I to believe that black Americans who have overcome the atrocities of slavery, who were victorious in the civil rights movement, and now sit in the highest levels of this government could not figure out how to get a free ID to secure their votes? That they need to be coddled by politicians because they don’t think we can figure out how to make our voices heard?
Are you kidding me? The notion that people must be protected from a free ID to secure their votes is not just insane—it is insulting.
And let me tell you something about this. This doesn’t have anything to do with justice, this has everything to do with power.

Data Doesn’t Support Narrative Of 'School Sports Caused The Surge'
- Media outlets have claimed that youth sports are responsible for the latest surge of COVID-19 cases in Michigan.
- WDET carried an April 7 story with the headline: “Michigan’s Latest Wave of COVID-19 Infections Being Driven by Youth Sports, Child Care.”
- “Unlike previous surges, Michigan’s latest wave of COVID-19 infections is being driven by young people,” the article said.
But state data doesn’t back up that claim.
Instead, it shows there have been only 1,189 cases from K-12 sports and youth club/travel sports from Jan. 1 to Apr. 17.
That’s 0.35% of all cases over that period...Read all!
