Biden administration introduces plan to lower speed limits and expand bike lanes in bid to reach 'zero' traffic fatalities - TheBlaze
Biden administration introduces plan to lower speed limits and expand bike lanes in bid to reach 'zero' traffic fatalities - TheBlaze:
The transportation secretary's plan to reach "zero roadway fatalities" is to spend $5 billion in grants and issue guidance encouraging cities to lower speed limits, adopt safer road design by creating dedicated bike and bus lanes, and improve street lighting and crosswalks.
Funding for the grants was included in the $1.2 trillion infrastructure law signed by President Joe Biden, which also included $4 billion in funding for the Highway Safety Improvement Program, DOT said.
Professor/school board member: Treat unvaxxed students like ‘knife-wielders,’ ‘the intoxicated’
"A member of a Chicago-area district school board, who also happens to be a college professor, recently compared unvaccinated students to “knife-wielders” and “the intoxicated.”
Marcelo Sztainberg, a computer science professor and associate dean at Northeastern Illinois University, made the analogy at a January 10 Glenbrook 225 school board meeting, North Cook News reports.
“If a student shows up (to school) with a knife, we won’t let them in,” Sztainberg said.
“If someone is intoxicated, we won’t let them in. Why is it different with COVID? Why is the district pushing people to take a risk sitting with people who won’t take any mitigation? At what point do we say this is not safe? […] There are so many issues for which we won’t let a student in.”...Read all.

The New Lysenkoism | City Journal
"...A strange thing is happening to the venerable magazine Scientific American.
It has decided to kick its science-loving readers in the teeth and embrace a modern equivalent of Lysenkoism—the doctrine that required Soviet biologists to ignore evolution and the genetics of plants.
The great biologist Edward O. Wilson died on December 26.
The great biologist Edward O. Wilson died on December 26.
...They surely didn’t expect that the oeuvre of this globally renowned scientist would be labeled by Scientific American, just three days after his death, as “built on racist ideas.”
Why...has been infected by a taste-destroying, judgment-paralyzing malady: the virus of progressive wokeness.
Why...has been infected by a taste-destroying, judgment-paralyzing malady: the virus of progressive wokeness.
...Woke theory provides the platform for
- putting opponents on the defensive,
- grabbing more spoils for practitioners of identity politics, and
- smearing as racist anyone who dares dispute the premise of the whole racket—that people have no genetic differences.
Since no one wants to be called a racist, the intimidation works perfectly and is spreading an ever-widening circle of fear in campuses, corporations, and media...
- One reason is that in today’s academic world, scholars are deeply dependent on the support of others to gain government grants or get their papers accepted by journals. Even one negative vote in the peer-review committee can be fatal to careers. Because of this intense interdependence, academics can’t afford any accusation of racism, however unmerited. Unfortunately, this means that it’s all too easy to bully people into silence. A handful of activists have succeeded in terrifying campuses across the nation with their odious brand of obscurantism...Read all!!

Why Can't the CDC Admit There Is No Solid Evidence To Support 'Universal Masking' in Schools?
- Supporters of that policy assume it works, then desperately search for evidence to validate that conviction.
That tendency extends to public health officials, including the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who claim to be following the science but in this case are desperately searching for validation of a policy that was adopted without any firm empirical basis...Read all!

Experts question lack of clinical data to support FDA decision on monoclonal antibody treatments - TheBlaze:
"In Florida, we saw over a 90 percent reduction in total hospitalizations within a few months of implementing monoclonal antibody treatment, due in part both to the peak of our seasonal summer wave and also the success of over 4,000 new mAbs patients a day in our statewide treatment locations," Lamb said.

More COVID-19 School Closures Spell End of Teachers Unions Empire
More COVID-19 School Closures Spell End of Teachers Unions Empire:
But it’s not just that these closures are counterproductive when it comes to reducing the spread of COVID-19; the damage done to children will not be easily fixed. As some have quipped, “two weeks to slow the spread” has turned into “two years to flatten a generation.”

NYC Cop Is Shot With an Illegal Weapon and the Shooter Walks. NYC Mayor Eric Adams Doesn't Have a Gun Problem, He Has a Sanity Problem
...A 16-year-old, up-and-coming rapper charged with shooting an NYPD cop in the Bronx walked free on bond Thursday — and cops are fuming over it.
Camrin Williams, who is also known by the rap name C Blu, posted his $250,000 bond after being locked up at a Brooklyn juvenile facility on gun and assault charges in the shooting of a 27-year-old cop in Belmont.
“C Blu” was already on probation for one weapons violation from 2020. During this incident, he fought with a cop and shot him, not fatally, with yet another illegal weapon. But never fear:
Williams reportedly planned to use an advance on his contract with Interscope Records to post the $15,000 in cash needed to secure the bond.
To summarize the story, we have a kid who has been arrested twice with illegal handguns and shot a cop, and he’s free on bond...Read all!

...“We’re not going to vaccinate our way out of it,” Murphy, a urologist, said on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
...Fauci has been, ‘Vaccination, vaccination, vaccination,’ rather than therapeutics.”
He went on, “Duke University, just last week, posted they’re finally, finally, going to be studying — doing studies of — Ivermectin.
There’s been so much data, not only from this country but from other countries, that have shown that it has efficacy in this particular arena, and there are other things — fluvoxamine, probenecid — other drugs that could be repurposed but are not big sexy expensive drugs...

Turley: Biden's Black, Female Supreme Court Requirement 'Unconstitutional' in Other Contexts
Turley: Biden's Black, Female Supreme Court Requirement 'Unconstitutional' in Other Contexts:
Imposing an absolute requirement that a nominee be a particular gender and race is effectively an affirmative action pledge. It is precisely what the Supreme Court already declared to be unconstitutional discrimination.

This Senate Rule Could Stop Biden's SCOTUS Nominee
"...However, the provision of Rule 26 that saved Graham in 2020 could now doom a similar Democratic effort in 2022.
This is due solely to the fact that the current Senate is tied between 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats.
In a 50/50 Senate, committee ratios (the number of Democrats to Republicans) are also tied.
This means Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee could not, by definition, present a physical majority of members on their own.
To meet the requirements of Rule 26, they need Republican help....Read all.
