Facebook To Require Masks In All Profile Pictures | The Babylon Bee
MENLO PARK, CA—Facebook confirmed today that to prevent the spread of coronavirus and promote a safe space to virtue-signal, masks will be required on all profile pictures going forward.
If you log in to Facebook you will be prompted to change your profile picture to one where you are wearing a mask.
If you don't have a mask, Facebook offers digital mask filters to give the appearance that you're wearing one.
Those who refuse the mask will be asked to delete their accounts.

• "This is an issue of public safety," said Mark Zuckerberg. 
• "We were seeing people just commenting on things and posting memes and stuff while their face was clearly visible. The CDC currently says that masks are good, and therefore, you must wear a mask."
• An assistant then whispered in Zuckerberg's ear. "Oh, uh, this just in: the CDC now says that masks are bad. So we'll take this all back." 
• But, before he could reverse the mask order, the CDC issued another update saying that masks were good again.
• "Anyway, yes, a mask for everyone. It's a small thing to do to make everyone feel safe."

Democrat Sen: Founding Fathers And American Heroes Are ‘Dead Traitors’

Democrat Sen: Founding Fathers And American Heroes Are ‘Dead Traitors’

"Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) criticized President Trump’s 4th of July speech at Mount Rushmore for focusing on the accomplishments of historical figures. 

“He spent all of his time talking about dead traitors,” Duckworth, a potential Biden vice president pick, told CNN in an interview. 

In his speech, President Trump listed numerous historical figures and celebrities who played a large role in American history. 

Among those listed were the founding fathers, the presidents of Mount Rushmore, Frederick Douglass, Ulysses S. Grant, Martin Luther King, Harriet Tubman, and Elvis Presley...Read all.

Seattle held 'segregated' training session on 'undoing whiteness,' encouraged staffers to forfeit 'guaranteed physical safety' | Fox News
"The City of Seattle held a racially segregated employee training session aimed at White staffers and instructing them on "undoing your own whiteness" in order to be held accountable by people of color, according to documents obtained by a public records request.
...Racism is not our fault but we are responsible." 
Another said White staffers must give up “the land” and their “guaranteed physical safety” in order to be an “accomplice” for racial justice.

The Discovery Institute has since shared copies of the documents obtained from the City of Seattle with Fox News...Read all.

CDC might stop calling COVID an 'epidemic' because of major drop in mortality rate - TheBlaze

CDC might stop calling COVID an 'epidemic' because of major drop in mortality rate - TheBlaze:

The coronavirus mortality rate in the United States has dropped so low that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may soon stop calling the virus an "epidemic."
The agency explained last Friday that the COVID-19 mortality rate has dropped so low that "the percentage is currently at the epidemic threshold."
"Based on death certificate data, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19 (PIC) decreased from 9.0% during week 25 to 5.9% during week 26, representing the tenth week of a declining percentage of deaths due to PIC," the agency wrote on its website.
According to the CDC, an "epidemic" is "an increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population in that area." A "pandemic" is an epidemic happening on a global scale.
The CDC's update is good news.

FACEBOOK: ACT URGENTLY TO TAKE ON THE THREAT OF CLIMATE DENIERS

A follow-up open letter to Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Facebook’s Oversight Board-July 7, 2020

To: Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Facebook Oversight Board

We are disappointed to have received a response from the Oversight Board’s head of communications to our July 1, 2020 letter instead of yourself or another Oversight Board co-chair. The Facebook-created loophole allows climate deniers to circumvent independent fact-checkers to publish lies and misinformation.

...Meanwhile, Facebook is allowing misinformation to spread, and they are hiding behind the promise of an “Oversight Board” that appears to be in name only. 

...As environmental leaders, we feel an urgent duty to take on the threat of climate deniers and climate change. We expect Facebook to work with the same urgency...

Ilhan Omar Calls for 'Dismantling' of America's 'Economy and Political Systems'
"Tuesday at a news conference on systemic racism with Minnesota leaders, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) called for dismantling systems of oppression, including America’s “economy and political systems.”
Omar said, “Right now in Congress the Senate is sitting on a comprehensive bill to transform criminal justice and the policing system. All along with the Congressional Black Caucus, I helped led the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. And because of Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump, it is being ignored. I guess the president would rather attack the people who are protesting than actually address the issues people are out here protesting for.”
She continued, “We can’t stop at criminal justice reform or police reform for that matter. We are not merely fighting to tear down the systems of oppression in the criminal justice system. We are fighting to tear down systems of oppression that exist in housing, in education, in health care, in employment, in the air we breathe.”
She added...As long as our economy and political systems prioritizes profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequity. So we cannot stop at criminal justice system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.”

Tammy Duckworth is open to removing George Washington statues - TheBlaze:

The argument for removing monuments of former presidents Washington and Jefferson is because they were slave owners. The movement to tear down historical statues has gained traction following the George Floyd protests.
A statue commemorating Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was voted to be removed in Boston, and there is pressure to tear down an Honest Abe statue in Wisconsin. The American Museum of Natural History in New York City is removing a statue of Theodore Roosevelt.

Press Now Plumbs Its Own Depths Of Depravity

Press Now Plumbs Its Own Depths Of Depravity--CONRAD BLACK
"There has never been a presidential campaign in the United States where the administration was so massively opposed by the principal press outlets as in this election.
...Many aspects of the Trump presidency are unprecedented; he is the first president never to have sought or held a public office, elected or unelected, or a high military command; and this is the first presidency, at least in living memory, in which almost the entire national political press have completely and constantly misreported the president’s public remarks and policies.
...Mr. Trump delivered the greatest speech of his career on Friday evening at Mount Rushmore, devoted altogether to celebrating the idealism of the American Revolution, the suppression of the Confederate insurrection in the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, and the enactment — albeit tardily — of the Jeffersonian promise, renewed by Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg, that all men are created equal.

• The Washington Post editorial board declared that he had reached “new depths of depravity.” 
• This is an outrage worthy only of the press of a totalitarian country describing an opposition figure.

...With few exceptions, the United States is now served by a national political media that is incapable of reporting about the president accurately, that baits him at press briefings with disgusting insolence, and that is extraordinarily negligent in ignoring or downplaying anything that reflects poorly on the president’s other enemies, the media’s allies in the war against the president.

Top doctor explains why COVID reporting is not honest, reveals what the case spike is really about - TheBlaze:

In fact, according to Dr. Atlas, America may be on the path to so-called "herd immunity," which is developed when a large number of healthy people in a population contract the virus and eventually provide protection for more vulnerable and high-risk people.
Later, Dr. Atlas called out how the media is reporting on hospitalizations and the fact that COVID-19 hospitalization data does not distinguish between COVID-positive patients who are hospitalized for reasons unrelated to the virus and patients who are hospitalized due to COVID-related complications.

What do blacks say about the police? | Power Line

What do blacks say about the police? | Power Line
"...Do blacks from Africa view America as a racist nation? 

Not likely. 

They wouldn’t have come here if they did. 

...They appreciate not just the economic opportunities, but also the presence of order and the absence of rampant corruption. 

I might be wrong, but I don’t sense that they detest the police or that they want America to be radically transformed.

But then, I doubt that many native African-Americans want this either. 

...Michael Javen Fortner, author of Black Silent Majority: The Rockefeller Drug Laws and the Politics of Punishment focuses here on black attitudes about the police. 

Do blacks in America really believe, as Sean Collins says, that “they can be killed anywhere at any time by anyone, but especially by law enforcement”?

Fortner argues that they don’t:

Polling data suggest that most African-Americans do not share Collins’s bleak view of their experiences. In a 2019 Pew survey, 44 percent of blacks reported being “unfairly stopped by police” because of their race; 54 percent said, “No, has not happened to me.” In a Monmouth poll taken after Floyd’s death, 44 percent of African-Americans reported that they or an immediate family member felt “harassed by police,” but a majority did not share this experience.

When asked, “How satisfied are you with the job your local police department does,” 21 percent said “very satisfied,” 51 percent said somewhat satisfied, 12 percent said somewhat dissatisfied, and only 5 percent said that they were “very” dissatisfied. These results do not suggest a complete endorsement of contemporary policing, as many blacks report negative interactions. Yet nearly three-quarters of surveyed African-Americans report themselves satisfied with their local police departments.

These results shouldn’t come as a surprise...
