Scientists Warn That Within 6 Months Humanity Will Run Out Of Things To Call Racist | The Babylon Bee
- ATLANTA, GA—Calling brand new things racist—that no one would ever have thought could be racist—is fun, and everyone loves it.
- But as each new day people breathlessly inform us of the racist history of things like crossword puzzles and punctuality, scientists are warning of an impending catastrophe.
- “At this current rate of coming up with new things that are racist,” warned racism scientist Frank Greene, “we’ll run out of new things to call racist
by the end of this year.”...Read all!

Joseph Hackett, you see, is a 51-year-old Trump supporter and member of an organization called the “Oath Keepers,” a group whose members have pledged to “defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.” (You can see how this ends already, can’t you?) ...Hackett came from his home in Florida to join the Trump “Stop the Steal” rally that took place on January 6.
According to court documents, he entered the Capitol at 2:45 that afternoon. He left some ten minutes later, at 2:54. The next day, he went home. On May 28, he was apprehended by the FBI and indicted on a long list of charges, including conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, destruction of government property, and illegally entering a restricted building...
Earlier: The insurrectionary crime of “parading.” “Now the press hypes up a bunch of people protesting in the Capitol as some sort of combination of Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
How different it was when Marxists stormed the Senate Building in October 2018 to protest the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh.”--Posted by

Forgotten Fact Checks: Fauci, Rand Paul, Cuba, and More | National Review:
That means that when he plays word games and obfuscates the truth from the American people, journalists have not only a right, but an obligation to point it out. It’s odd, then, that CNN’s Jake Tapper not only ignored the substantive criticisms of Fauci levied by Senator Rand Paul last week regarding gain of function research conducted in China with American taxpayer dollars, but proudly announced his intention to do so.

However, they’re not. Seeing this fact shouldn’t be rocket science.
The Biden administration, which is not exactly filled with brain surgeons, should be able to see it plain as day.
Unfortunately, we get crap like this instead.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said China's possible involvement in Afghanistan could be "a positive thing"...He urged the Taliban to come to the "negotiating table... peacefully".
Oh, goodie.
Here’s the problem with this.

They don’t like the United States.

Regarding Covid-19, Public Policy v. Panic | The Pipeline
"...Director Rochelle Walensky stated this week that “fully vaccinated people have just as much viral load as the unvaccinated, making it possible for them to spread the virus to others,” so school children should be masked.
She should be ignored if it her claim is not supported by equally sound research -- and it isn't.
It's based instead on data from a single study in India, where different vaccines were in use, and was so deficient it was rejected in peer review.
She’s not alone, however.
She’s not alone, however.
There has been a drumbeat to reinstate some of the most loathsome and freedom-destroying diktats we’ve just come out from under.
Organizations and businesses are demanding employees be fully vaccinated and some even requiring vaccinated persons to mask.
...So, on one hand we have reputable scientists confirming low Covid mortality, broad natural immunity to the virus, easy rapid treatability of the disease at home and seemingly deliberate underreporting of vaccine toxicity by public health officials...Read all!!

- $50 million taxpayer dollars down the tubes
ergy Excellence in 2010 by Michigan officials who gave it millions of taxpayer dollars to develop green energy products.
Like many other companies that received favors during the tenure of Gov. Jennifer Granholm, it did not enjoy great success.
Sakti3 was actively promoted by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation under Granholm, who is now the U.S. secretary of energy.
...But after 13 years, $50 million in taxpayer subsidies (according to Venture Beat) and a $90 million corporate buyout, the company’s run appears to have ended.
...Quartz went so far as to say, “In an industry riven with exaggeration and outright lying, Sastry’s resistance to sharing even seemingly innocuous performance data – including with her own employees – has prompted suspicion that she is evasive for reasons no more complicated than that she has little impressive to disclose.”
The suspicions appeared to be validated when in 2018 an electric industry publication reported that Dyson wrote off over 51 million euros ($60 million as of this writing) on its investment in Sakti3...Read all.

"...This story is the first in a series.
...The meetings are largely a support group.
- Whole areas of research are off-limits. Top physicians treat patients based on their race. An ideological 'purge' is underway in American medicine.
...The meetings are largely a support group.
The members share their concerns about what’s going on in their hospitals and universities, and strategize about what to do.
What is happening, they say, is the rapid spread of a deeply illiberal ideology in the country’s most important medical institutions...
- ...I’ve heard from doctors who’ve been reported to their departments for criticizing residents for being late. (It was seen by their trainees as an act of racism.)
- I’ve heard from doctors who’ve stopped giving trainees honest feedback for fear of retaliation.
- I’ve spoken to those who have seen clinicians and residents refuse to treat patients based on their race or their perceived conservative politics...Read all.
Federal judge rules Christian web designer has 'monopoly' over her own creativity, must give equal access to LGBT customers - TheBlaze
Federal judge rules Christian web designer has 'monopoly' over her own creativity, must give equal access to LGBT customers - TheBlaze:
Permitting Smith to honor her religious convictions by refusing to celebrate same-sex marriages "would necessarily relegate LGBT consumers to an inferior market," Briscoe wrote, "because Appellants' unique services are, by definition, unavailable elsewhere."
The judge's reasoning is that LGBT customers would be denied equal access to Smith's specific services, which constitutes a violation of Colorado's discrimination protections.
"To be sure, LGBT consumers may be able to obtain wedding-website design services from other businesses; yet, LGBT consumers will never be able to obtain wedding-related services of the same quality and nature as those that Appellants offer," Briscoe wrote.

"...Here are some primary questions that are unlikely to come up:
- First, who shot Ashli Babbitt and why? Perhaps she shouldn’t have been where she was and doing what she was doing, but she did not need to die. The American citizen and Air Force veteran was unarmed. Federal bureaucrats have kept the information on who shot Ashli from Babbitt’s husband, as well as from the American people, who have a right to know. Why?
- Second, did congressional leaders and other elected representatives, or their staffs, instigate the storming of the Capitol? The fact that the security profile at the Capitol that day was woefully inadequate and National Guard troops were doing other duty and then were later denied to Capitol Police begs this question. Also, the Big Show the Democrats made afterward, and are still making with the sham commission, shows consciousness of guilt; in other words, are they trying to cover something up?
- Third, why have American citizens who have been accused of only relatively minor crimes, such as trespassing, been held in jail without trial for more than six months? Why were they roughed up initially and kept in solitary confinement, as if they were political prisoners in Cuba? Why are their civil rights being violated? Does this mean that our Department of Justice (DoJ) has been politicized and is corrupt?...Read all.

The way we were-----The U.S. Coast Guard in the Great War: USCGC Tampa
"While there are many compelling stories of the efforts to protect commerce from the dreaded U-boats during the Great War, the contribution of the United States Coast Guard, only newly created in 1915 and serving under the operational control of the Navy during war, is an even more overlooked part of the conflict.
Yet the Coasties served, and died, in the Battle of the Atlantic.
On September 26, 1918, the United States suffered its greatest naval combat loss of the First World War."
