Tania Lavin is (or was, at last word) a fact-checker for the New Yorker.
She achieved overnight Twitter-fame by accusing an ICE agent of being a white supremacist. The New York Post has the story:
She achieved overnight Twitter-fame by accusing an ICE agent of being a white supremacist. The New York Post has the story:
A Harvard-educated fact-checker for the New Yorker is being excoriated by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for “baselessly slandering” a Marine veteran — by falsely accusing him of having a Nazi tattoo, according to reports.Officials with ICE are now demanding that the New Yorker and Talia Lavin apologize over her erroneous tweet about Justin Gaertner.In the gaffe, Lavin allegedly implied over the weekend that Gaertner, a combat-wounded veteran and ICE forensics analyst, had the Nazis’ Iron Cross inked on his elbow.But she deleted her post after “military veterans responded that the tattoo looked more like a Maltese cross, a symbol associated with firefighters,” ICE said in a statement.The tattoo, according to Gaertner, is actually a “Titan 2” symbol for his platoon when he served in Afghanistan.
This is the photo:
As you can see from the picture, Justin Gaertner is a double amputee:
Gaertner lost both of his legs and suffered other permanent injuries when an IED exploded during his deployment to Helmand Province, Afghanistan. He served as a fire team leader and lead sweeper for IEDs.Now Gaertner is a para-Olympic athlete who has “volunteered his time to motivate other wounded warriors and Boston bombing victims,” according to ICE. With the immigration agency, he helps solve criminal cases related to sexually abused children.
An obvious question is, what on God’s green Earth would cause anyone to think that the vaguely cross-like symbol on Gaertner’s elbow is a Nazi or white supremacist sign? Only a person far gone in hatred for ICE employees would leap to such an irrational conclusion..."

Schumer Says He’d Rather ‘Keep The Focus On Trump' Than Solve Border Problems | Daily Wire
Schumer Says He’d Rather ‘Keep The Focus On Trump' Than Solve Border Problems | Daily Wire:
That's right, Schumer doesn't want to solve the problem — God forbid! — he'd rather just "keep the focus on Trump."
Schumer, who has bashed Trump at every turn and has repeatedly declared that Congress — not the president — should take this action or that, now suddenly wants to defer to Trump. He claims Congress simply can't solve the problem, but Trump, with the stroke of a pen, can.

The sad legacy of the Obama border orphans - Washington Times:
Turned out, the photo they were blaming on Mr. Trump actually was taken at the border during the previous administration, under the policies of one Barack Hussein Obama.
These sad, innocent little children in cages were, in fact, Obama Border Orphans.
Now, for anyone with a conscience, committing such dishonest treachery would be embarrassing. But, these people have no shame whatsoever. And their rapid reaction was simple: Double down on the lie.

100% renewable energy omnibus clears Massachusetts Senate | Utility Dive
100% renewable energy omnibus clears Massachusetts Senate | Utility Dive
Dive Brief:
Dive Brief:
- On Thursday, the Massachusetts state Senate approved 35-0 a package of energy bills including provisions that would set a 100% renewable energy standard by 2047, remove the state's net metering caps and increase the state's energy storage mandate to 2 GW by 2025.
- One of the bills in the package, S. 2545, would also stipulate that utility regulators can only approve demand charges for customers with devices that provide "near real time" monitoring of energy consumption and only base those charges on system-wide peak usage, rather than an individual's energy consumption...
Dive Insight:
The behemoth of a clean energy bill could reshape Massachusetts utility policy, if it survives the legislative process.
The measure also asks the state to consider adding 5 GW of offshore wind energy, directs electric vehicle charging station distributors to create time-of-use rate plans for infrastructure and increases the state’s renewable portfolio standard..."

What a time to be alive.
We’re actually getting to witness firsthand what can only be described as the death spiral of the Democrat Party.
And it’s a sight to behold, isn’t it?
The modern American Left has lost all cognitive function.
They’re spitting and flailing, screaming and wailing, and lashing out like rabid cornered animals. Sure, it’s disgusting.
But it’s also the best thing to happen to the country since Republicans freed the slaves.
We’re watching the Institutional Left and the Democrat Party in a death spiral – swirling like a turd in a flushing toilet.
...The "Tolerant" Left are losing their radical, sick and demented collective minds.
And if it weren't so dangerous, it would be fun to watch.
But these are some very sick bastards.

Gowdy blasts Comey for fixing Hillary case
Gowdy blasts Comey for fixing Hillary case:
Gowdy, a Republican from South Carolina, noted Comey softened his initial statement on the Clinton investigation findings, changing her actions from “grossly negligent,” using the language of the criminal statute, to “extremely careless.”
“We see Jim Comey and Jim Comey alone deciding which DOJ policies to follow and which to ignore,” Gowdy said.
Gowdy, noting Comey took action to trigger a special counsel in the Russia matter, questioned why the FBI director�didn’t seek a special counsel to investigate Clinton’s use of a unsecure email server to transmit classified information.
“Instead, he appointed himself FBI director, attorney general, special counsel, lead investigator and the general arbiter of what is good and right in the world according to him,” Gowdy said.

Feminist Philosopher Explains Jordan Peterson's Biggest Mistake, Makes a Bigger One - Hit & Run : Reason.com:
"...But while Peterson might be wrong about what causes mass shootings, Manne is certainly mistaken about who commits them.
By blaming this angst, she writes, Peterson "takes on a huge burden of explaining why white women, people of color, nonbinary folks, and so on, almost never act on our existential angst and despair in this way. Because, as you know, the vast majority of school shooters have been white men."
Yes, most mass killers are white—but white people represent three-quarters of the U.S. population.
If anything, mass killers are disproportionately non-white.
According to Slate's Daniel Engber, who parsed Mother Jones's mass shooting database earlier this year, about 56 percent of mass shooters are white:
...Perpetrators that Mother Jones classifies as Asian make up 7.4 percent of the data set, versus an estimated 5.7 percent of the population, while those MoJo identifies as black represent 17.0 percent of the mass shooters in the database versus an estimated 13.3 percent of the population.
According to this data set, then, Asians and black Americans are overrepresented among mass shooters by about the same proportion (a bit more than one-fourth) that whites are underrepresented.
That database covers mass shootings in general (and is flawed in that it probably undercounts mass shootings that happened further back in time). It might be more accurate to say that Columbine-style mass shootings specifically committed in schools are disproportionately perpetrated by white people, but there have only been 8 of those kinds of attacks—shootings in which at least four people were shot to death in a school—since 1996.
Schools are actually so safe that it's pretty useless to make statistically sound racial generalizations about the kinds of mass murders committed there..."

CO2 shortage hits Europe - Ice Age Now
CO2 shortage hits Europe - Ice Age Now:
“Bizarre news story of the shortage in Western Europe of food-grade carbon dioxide,” says reader Robert Boon.
“The fertilizer and chemical plants which produce the gas as a bi-product shut down for annual maintenance and the soft drinks and the brewing industry fear a shortage of the gas.”
Here’s how Gasworld.com puts it:
“In what has been described as the ‘worst supply situation to hit the European carbon dioxide (CO2) business in decades’, many consumers of CO2 – especially the carbonated drinks producers – are desperate for supplies of the product.”

Tuck said that after the American Army freed him, he desperately wanted to move to America. It took five years of recuperation, paperwork and applications but Tuck finally made it to America in 1950. He has lived here ever since.
“They want to come to America. So did I,” Tuck says of the immigrants entering the country illegally today. “But you have to know who is coming in. It is wrong to separate the kids from the parents. But to call it a concentration camp? That is wrong. It’s a country club.”
