Horowitz: The new panic lie: Increased coronavirus hospitalizations and cases in the southwest - TheBlaze
The health "experts" and the media propagating viral panic porn think people like us don't understand arithmetic. They think they can manipulate headline stories warning of increased cases of COVID-19 in order to push more lockdowns, ignoring all the ways that more cases are being discovered, while the percentage of positive tests, new hospitalizations and deaths, and the lethality of the virus are all waning significantly.
Attorney General Cited 'Mussels' 38 Times, 'Flood' Once In Suit Over Dam That Failed – Michigan Capitol Confidential
Attorney General Cited 'Mussels' 38 Times, 'Flood' Once In Suit Over Dam That Failed – Michigan Capitol Confidential"Nineteen days before the Edenville and Sanford dams collapsed in Midland county, flooding more than 2,500 structures and causing more than $200 million in damages, Michigan’s Attorney General filed a lawsuit demanding that the owners raise water levels behind the Edenville dam.
The suit filed April 30 by Attorney General Dana Nessel against Boyce Hydro Power used the term “mussel” or “mussels” 38 times.
The term "flood" or “flooding" appeared just once, as a potential consequence of how having fewer mussels could damage wetlands that help prevent floods...

Seattle Antifa Zone gets advice from an ex-Soviet expert
Seattle Antifa Zone gets advice from an ex-Soviet expert"We've all heard about the Antifa collective who have seized six city blocks in downtown Seattle and are now trying to set up a collective farm there to grow their own food.
As a former Soviet citizen, I feel obligated to offer their leaders advice based on practical experience.
...For a collective farm to work you must first cleanse your ranks of wreakers, spies, saboteurs, and other enemies of the people, once you collectivize their property.
Convert one of the six city blocks into a Gulag (aka concentration camp or forced labor camp), where these thoughtfelons can redeem themselves by toiling for the Common Good™ planting beets.
Then there's an issue of some collective farmers being more successful than others.
Round them all up, label them kulaks, and dekulakize them.
...I'm sure you'll get it right this time,
Oleg Atbashian"

We Must Never Forget the 100 Million Victims of Communism | The Heritage Foundation
"When President George W. Bush 13 years ago on June 12, 2007, dedicated a U.S. memorial in Washington, D.C., to the more than 100 million victims of communism, both the Chinese communists and the Russian communists immediately attacked the president and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.
The Chinese Embassy in Washington dismissed the memorial as “an attempt to defame China.” Gennady Zyuganov, the head of the Russian Communist Party, called the memorial “clumsy propaganda” intended to divert the world’s attention “from the true bloody crimes of U.S. imperialism.”
Tellingly, what neither the Chinese communists nor the Russian communist boss tried to do was to deny the bloody crimes of communist imperialism.
After stating that “we the living have a solemn obligation to the victims to acknowledge their sacrifice and honor their memory,” Bush listed some of communism’s victims:
They include innocent Ukrainians starved to death in Stalin’s Great Famine or Russians killed in Stalin’s purges;
Lithuanians and Latvians and Estonians loaded on cattle cars and deported to Arctic death camps of Soviet communism.
They include Chinese killed in the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution;
Cambodians slain in Pol Pot’s Killing Fields;
East Germans shot attempting to scale the Berlin Wall in order to make it to freedom;
Poles massacred in the Katyn Forest and Ethiopians slaughtered in the “Red Terror”;
Miskito Indians murdered by Nicaragua’s Sandinista dictatorship;
and Cuban balseros who drowned escaping tyranny.
...Each June, those in attendance at the Victims of Communism Memorial ceremony pledge that never again will they allow so evil a tyranny to enslave peoples and nations.
They hear the voices of the fallen crying out, “Remember us,” and vow they will never forget them.

The State could have protected the Columbus statue - they chose not to - American Experiment
The State could have protected the Columbus statue - they chose not to - American Experiment
"In 1931, 24,000 Minnesotans gathered at the State Capitol to dedicate a statue of Christopher Columbus.
The statue was paid for by Italian immigrants – Columbus was the first of them – as a gift to their new home here.
On Wednesday, it was torn down.
IS VIOLENCE NOW THE FIRST RESORT?
I make no defense here of Columbus or his statue. But in a functioning liberal democracy, shouldn’t there be a better way for dealing with these matters than allowing mobs to trash anything they find disagreeable?

IS VIOLENCE NOW THE FIRST RESORT?
...State authorities claim they would have if only they could have but they couldn’t. Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington explained that State Patrol troopers “were not able to get out there” in time to guard the statue.
But a timeline of events, put together by KSTP, makes this untenable:
The threat to the Christopher Columbus statue on the south lawn of the Minnesota State Capitol was no secret. It was posted on Facebook at about 11 a.m. Wednesday that protesters would tear the statue down at 5 p.m. It was so well known KSTP Reporter Tom Hauser asked Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington about it at 3:35 p.m....5:03 p.m.Just after 5 p.m., while Hauser was about to go on the air reporting on the plans for a special session of the Minnesota Legislature later this week, the KSTP newsroom witnessed a live feed of the statue being torn down by protesters. After the protesters refused to accept a piece of paper with the steps necessary to legally have a statue removed, the trooper walked away and left the statue unprotected. Two protesters then climbed the statue with no State Patrol in sight and tore the statue down. Just a few minutes later, more than a dozen State Troopers emerged from the State Capitol and circled the pedestal that had held the statue of Christopher Columbus since 1931.
It is clear that the state authorities could have protected the statue if they had chosen to. They chose not to.
Afterwards, Commissioner Harrington flatly lied to the press...

Police Union Boss: Kneeling with Protesters 'Has No Place for Members'
Police officers who want to kneel with protesters should do so on their own time, Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara said Wednesday.
“I’ve seen good cops, chiefs even, kneeling, marching, praying, crying. What do you think when you see that among these peaceful protesters?” WGN Radio’s Bob Sirott asked Catanzara during an interview.

In addition, it only costs $1,000 per KW to install a NGCC power plant, so it cost 5 times more to install all 3,424 wind turbines as it would have to install 5 NGCC power plants to get the same amount of electricity.

Why the Millennials are Socialists | Intellectual Takeout
"...what is happening now is the result of what was done over many decades.
Americans didn't just become Socialists all of a sudden; no, the way was prepared for its rising popularity.
...What matters is how the typical Millennial perceives Socialism, as that will dictate how he votes at election time.
If I have a favorable view of Socialism, then I'm quite likely to vote for the Socialist -- no matter that I can't define the ideology.
And how is Socialism perceived?
As a system of governance that is fair, makes sure everyone is materially secure, gives purpose to life, and increases happiness.
For instance, when teaching U.S. History, the themes emphasized the most are usually the Progressive Era and its fights against capitalism as well as the importance of pursuing equality, starting with the Declaration of Independence.
Nor is the indoctrination limited to History or Civics classes, examples abound of Socialist-friendly school cultures and teaching lessons in almost all subjects...
