A Michigan prosecutor says no thanks to cash bail. Will others follow? | Bridge Michigan

"On any given day in jails across Michigan, thousands of inmates sit behind bars as they await a criminal trial for a simple reason: They didn’t have the money to post bail.

...But that is set to change in Washtenaw County, as new County Prosecutor Eli Savit will no longer seek cash bail as a condition of release before trial.

...Maddock told Bridge in an email: “Sadly, our criminal justice system is under attack and is being pushed to benefit criminals instead of victims. When all these people released with zero bail don’t show up, then what are they going to do? That’s what we all need to ask to ensure the safety of our neighborhoods.”...Read all.

Why we are losing the education war!-----Texas State Historical Assn’s Chief Historian Says the Alamo Was an ‘Insignificant’ Battle and Represents ‘Whiteness.’ What Do Texas History Experts and the Facts Say?

Texas State Historical Assn’s Chief Historian Says the Alamo Was an ‘Insignificant’ Battle and Represents ‘Whiteness.’ What Do Texas History Experts and the Facts Say?

"This past week, Texas State Historical Association chief historian Walter Buenger made two controversial assertions regarding the Alamo in a story published by USA Today.

"Although the battle has become a symbol of patriotism and freedom for many Texans and Americans, like the Confederate monuments erected after the Civil War, the myth of the Alamo has been used to “commemorate whiteness,” according to Walter L Buenger, Texas State Historical Association chair.

...“It became in some ways a sort of symbol of Anglo-Saxon preeminence,” he said. “The Alamo became this symbol of what it meant to be white.”

Buenger is currently the Texas State Historical Association’s chief historian as well as holding a major post at the University of Texas at Austin. 

The TSHA is not a state agency, it’s a nonprofit, but it plays a key role in history education in Texas schools, and of being an authoritative repository of the state’s history through its online Handbook of Texas. 

As Michelle Haas, editor of the Copano Bay Press, notes, Buenger’s role lends him a great deal of influence and power over how Texas history is recorded and taught...Read all!

Capitol rioter arrested for encouraging violence is an anti-Trump agitator and a Black Lives Matter supporter - TheBlaze

Capitol rioter arrested for encouraging violence is an anti-Trump agitator and a Black Lives Matter supporter - TheBlaze: 

A Utah man arrested for his part in the rioting at the U.S. Capitol admitted that he was not a Trump supporter but in fact an anti-Trump activist. POLL: Will you stay loyal to the Republican party if they help the Democrats impeach Trump? John Earle Sullivan told KUTV after the riot that he is the founder of Insurgence USA, and that he does not align with the president politically. He said that he founded Insurgence USA after the killing of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Why would ANYONE believe this hypocrite, huckster?

What the Capitol insurgency reveals about white supremacy and law enforcement

"Make no mistake, the Capitol insurgency was about making America great for white people. 

In erecting a hangman’s noose, waving the Confederate flag, and wearing white nationalist paraphernalia, including an Auschwitz Concentration Camp shirt, the domestic terrorists showed America they fundamentally believe in maintaining and enacting white supremacy. 
Donald Trump, and Trumpism as an ideology, has opened a Pandora’s box of hate into the American mainstream, giving the permission some racists needed to reveal themselves proudly and wreak havoc on symbols of American democracy that have withstood wars and attacks for centuries...Read all.

Sir Richard is hoping to tap into what is a growing market for small, lower-cost satellites.

Apple's Tim Cook Just Comes Right Out and Says It About Canceling Parler: 'We Don't Consider That Free Speech'

"...More precisely, in the case of Apple’s de-platforming of conservative-leaning social media site Parler, it matters a hell of a lot what Cook’s meaning of “that” is, when he says of Parler: “We don’t consider that free speech.”

What, in a word, did Parler do, to first be removed from Apple and Google app stores, and ultimately kicked off Amazon servers in a blatant effort to eliminate Parler?

In a clip released Friday of an interview on this week’s “Fox News Sunday” with host Chris Wallace [of course; safe space], Cook

“We looked at the incitement to violence that was on there, and we, we don’t consider that free speech and incitement to violence has an, has an intersection.”

Wait — “the incitement of violence that was on there.”

White House lists hundreds of Trump accomplishments

White House lists hundreds of Trump accomplishments: 

The list recounts the many measures the administration took to help create the conditions for an unprecedented economic boom, prior to the coronavirus pandemic, that produced the lowest recorded unemployment overall and for blacks, hispanics and women. Along with tax relief and massive deregulation, there were the fair trade deals and measures that led to America becoming energy independent for the first time in nearly 70 years.

The left's vindictiveness: From erasing truth to criminalizing it

The left's vindictiveness: From erasing truth to criminalizing it: 

Meanwhile the left has spent the last year ignoring examples of true hate speech, violence, arson, murder, non-peaceable assembly and behavior so egregious ("fiery but peaceful"?) that they've become a mockery of what they supposedly stand for. It's not domestic terrorism when Black Lives Matter or Antifa does it. Even left-wing Hollywood twits who object to silencing free speech are attacked by their own. Trump won the election in a landslide so massive that the only way to cover it up was with colossal election fraud. The left is so terrified of the truth that they must move heaven and earth, including trashing the Constitution and Bill of Rights, to suppress it. They are now very busy rewriting not just history, but current events so they can convince present and future generations about their righteousness. The left is not just moving to erase the truth; they are moving to criminalize it.

"They’re coming for you next: 

Oh boy, it’s the 1950s again and its time for witchhunts from Congress and big corporations.

Unlike the 1950s, however, the question will not be whether you have ever been a member of the Communist Party. 

No, now the question will be much more effective and to the point. It will be “Have you ever been conservative or a member of the Republican Party?”

And as always, today’s progressive Democratic Party is on the ball! Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has revealed members of the House are planning to form a commission to “rein in” conservative media, to prevent them from “spewing disinformation and misinformation.”

During a lengthy Instagram Live on Tuesday evening where she revealed that she feared for her life during the siege, the “Squad” member accused the mainstream media of “spewing disinformation” ahead of the deadly riot in which five people died.

“There’s absolutely a commission that’s being discussed but it seems to be more investigating in style rather than truth and reconciliation,” she said. “I do think that several members of Congress in some of my discussions have brought up media literacy because that is part of what happened here,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) went on. “We’re going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation,” she said...Read all.

Campus Reform | Twitter bans Trump over risk of violence, but these leftist profs get a pass

"In one of the latest crackdowns from Big Tech, President Donald Trump has been permanently banned from Twitter, and Parler has been cut off by Amazon Web Services, Apple and Google. 

Tech companies have justified the censorship as the necessary course of action for Trump, his supporters, and conservatives due to the “risk of further incitement of violence.”

But, for years, Campus Reform has reported on leftist professors who have explicitly sent ill wishes to conservatives and Trump supporters and who have justified violence as a means of silencing those with whom they disagree.

In October, University of Virginia Instructor David Walsh tweeted that Americans need to do more than protest if the election “worst-case scenario” happens. 

“They need to actively try to topple the government,” the tweet read. The instructor who teaches the course "Hateinnany: Fascism, Antifascism, and the Global Far Right” had also previously tweeted that Democrats will have to utilize “postwar German practice of superficial de-Nazification” upon a Joe Biden win.

Are You Suffering From Toxic Masculinity? Know The Warning Signs | The Babylon Bee

Are You Suffering From Toxic Masculinity? Know The Warning Signs | The Babylon Bee
"More than 40% of men today suffer from it---and their loved ones pay the price.
It's called "toxic masculinity," and it's the latest disease to plague the nation. 

It can affect every aspect of a toxic man's life.

Worst of all, toxic masculinity is contagious, so if you're infected, you need to know right away so you can avoid spreading it to your friends and family.

Are you or a loved one suffering from toxic masculinity? 

Know the warning signs so you can seek help:

• Even the faintest whisper of facial hair - If you have a mustache, schedule a check-up. If you find a goatee on your face, consider going into the emergency room. If you have a full-grown beard, well, it's probably too late for you.
• A belief that men and women are at least a little bit different - Should you be infected with the cancerous idea that men and women are even the slightest bit different from one another, you could have toxic masculinity. If you're a woman who believes this, then you suffer from an even worse disease called internalized misogyny...
• Being a man who doesn't hate himself - This is the most telling sign. If you're a biological male and you don't hate yourself, toxic masculinity is already coursing through your veins. If there's going to be any hope of recovery, you need to begin hating yourself today.

If you or your man are showing one or more of these symptoms, contact your medical professional today. Get help, before it's too late...Read all.
