S.F. pays $61,000 a year for one tent in a site to shelter the homeless. Why?

"San Francisco is paying $16.1 million to shelter homeless people in 262 tents placed in empty lots around the city where they also get services and food — a steep price tag that amounts to more than $61,000 per tent per year.

The city has created six tent sites, called “safe sleeping villages,” since the beginning of the pandemic to get vulnerable people off crowded sidewalks and into places where they have access to bathrooms, three meals and around-the-clock security. 

The annual cost of one spot in one site is 2½ times the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco...Read all.

China Makes Anal Swabs Mandatory For Nearly All Foreign Arrivals

The tests will be required for all travelers arriving at Beijing and Shanghai airports before they are allowed to enter the country.

...“If people are not familiar with the procedure for taking an anal swab test, our employees will help explain how it will be done,” a representative for the epidemic control department in the Daxing district of Beijing said...Read all.

Almost Three-Quarters of U.S. Academics Wouldn't Even EAT With Someone Who Rejects Transgenderism

Almost Three-Quarters of U.S. Academics Wouldn't Even EAT With Someone Who Rejects Transgenderism

"...Kaufmann noted that the National Association of Scholars recorded 65 instances of professors getting disciplined or fired for protected speech in 2020, a fivefold increase from 2019. 

...“High-profile activist excesses are mere symptoms of a much wider problem of progressive authoritarianism,” Kaufmann argued. 

His study found that roughly 1 in 3 conservative academics and graduate students have faced discipline or threats of disciplinary action. 

“A progressive monoculture empowers radical activist staff and students to violate the freedom of political minorities like conservatives or ‘gender-critical’ feminists, who believe in the biological basis of womanhood—all in the name of emotional safety or social justice.”

Kaufmann’s report found that political discrimination pervades academia. 

Four in ten American academics said they would not hire a known Trump supporter for a job. 

In Canada, 45 percent said so. 

One in three British academics said they wouldn’t hire a Brexit supporter...Read all

Children need Protection from Transgender Activists - American Thinker

• Transgender ideology is a threat to children, and also to their right to childhood.  
• Childhood should be a time of innocence and learning to grow into an emotionally well-adjusted, intellectually competent, morally capable adult.  
  
• Transgender activists seek to sexualize and politicize children long before puberty, telling them they have a right to transition even though their bodies and minds are not fully-formed, and against their parents‘ objections.
• Transgender ideology treats children as if they have the same rights as adults and ignores the fact that they are vulnerable to all kinds of suggestion and manipulation...Read all.

Why it's almost as if we're in a state of Permanent Coup, of the Deep State against those outside of the Corporate-Government Complex.

They will keep inventing these "Next Expected Day of a QAnon Coup" days forever, one national emergency flowing smoothly into the next.

And the GOP-branded wing of the DC Insider Party will cheerlead for every single Capitol Lockdown.

The House of Representatives canceled its scheduled votes for Thursday

Capitol police confirmed they received an intelligence report that of a far-right militia plot to breach the Capitol this Thursday...

As I wrote in the sidebar:

There is no more hostile environment to liberty than a regime of permanent crisis, one alleged national security emergency flowing directly into the next, each new supposed threat justifying, it is alleged, exciting new restrictions and limitations of the freedom to move, gather, speak, or even think...

This will literally never end. 

And the NeverTrump propaganda cell funded by FaceBook and Google will never stop cheering on the authoritarian left's constant attacks on normally-functioning democracy...Read all!

Reporter calls out Jen Psaki with facts after Biden admin takes credit for vaccine deal - TheBlaze: 

New York Times White House correspondent Michael Shear asked Psaki how the Biden administration can take credit for the deal when, in fact, the New York Times reported about the deal in January. "On the timing of the administration's efforts to help pull this deal together, you said that it was within, I think, the last few weeks," Shear began. "We wrote our first story at the New York Times about a possible partnership between Merck and J&J for manufacturing on Jan 21."

Book Banning in an Age of Amazon - The Truth Fairy: 

"If you wanted to eliminate disfavored ideas from a society,
• you’d begin by aggregating most of the world’s books onto a single platform. 
• You’d hope to create a global network of gargantuan warehouses, automated to allow next-day fulfillment of customer desires. 
• If you were wildly successful, your company might one day control five sixths of U.S. book sales and generate a market capitalization that rivals the GDP of Canada.
• If you also delivered groceries, clothing, and hardware during a pandemic, and hosted businesses’ websites, too—you might become so integral to people’s lives, they would be hard-pressed to quit you. 
• Customers spoiled by the miracle of having milk and toilet paper delivered same-day to their door would be disinclined to protest as you began eliminating books, especially if it was just a few at a time. You’d have become the hand that feeds them; they’d be smart enough not to bite.

...And here we get to the key difference between the two books: The legality of gay marriage has been settled in America. Whatever people’s private feelings about gay marriage, its legality in America is beyond dispute, and its acceptance by American society, widespread. Opposing it is a dead issue, a loser. And as Amazon well knows, no book is likely to change that.

Biden admin locks ICE Twitter account used to alert public to fugitive illegal immigrants | American Military News: 

The Biden administration locked one of the Twitter accounts this week for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tuesday, stopping public safety alerts for fugitive illegal immigrants in the United States.  

Former ICE senior advisor Jon Feere tweeted on Tuesday, “It seems the Biden Admin locked [ICE Alerts] because if you were to report the location of one of these dangerous aliens to ICE, it would become too obvious that these assaulters, drug dealers, thieves, and drunk drivers are now allowed to go free under Biden’s policies.”

YouTube Blacklists Donald Trump's CPAC Speech, Suspends RSBN Channel

"The Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), a conservative news broadcaster, received a two-week suspension from YouTube because it covered President Donald Trump’s speech at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

The video nearly accumulated 4 million views before being censored by the Google-owned platform.

The official Twitter account of RSBN reported the news.

“RSBN has been suspended from YouTube for two weeks because of the Trump #CPAC2021 speech, which violated their guidelines on election misinformation. The video was approaching 4 million views. They have also removed it from their platform.”

RSBN said that it could have avoided a two-week suspension had it added “countervailing viewspoints” to President Trump’s claims about election irregularities. In other words, it was only permissible to upload Trump’s speech if RSBN also criticized it...Read all.

The Case for Closing Public Schools… Indefinitely

"...I am struggling to understand why conservative parents are insistent to return their children to these wretched institutions that are delivering a subpar education and indoctrinating their children with Marxist theory.

• Public schools throughout the nation have adopted wholesale the insidious Marxist curriculum of race agitators like Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X. Kendi, along with Nicole Hannah Jones’s fictional work that is the "1619 Project." 
• In Buffalo, New York, teachers and administrators have introduced “anti-racism” lessons that instruct kindergarteners -- yes, kindergarteners -- that ‘all white people perpetuate systematic racism’ and forces children to watch videos of dead black children. 
  
• In Oregon, the ‘Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction’ claims that obtaining the ‘right’ answer to a math problem is somehow rooted in white supremacy. 
• And if you think this ridiculous ideology has not penetrated your conservative school district, even deep red Loudon County in Virginia will no longer celebrate Dr. Seuss for ‘strong racial undertones.’...
• In La Mesa, California, school board members called in-person learning a form of ‘white supremacist ideology’ and ‘slavery.’

"...But what if women have already achieved parity with the men and are in fact surpassing them?

Although it seems absurd given the cultural mantras we’ve been fed, research is beginning to show that such is the case. 

One recent NBER paper finds that college-educated men are struggling to stay in the “cognitive/high wage” workforce much more than women. 

Another NBER paper produced a similar result, finding that young men between the ages of 25 to 34 are specifically the ones in trouble.

Creighton's Greg McDermott sorry for 'plantation' reference

"Creighton men’s basketball coach Greg McDermott told his players, several of whom are black, he needed them to “stay on the plantation” after Saturday’s loss to Xavier.

“Guys, we got to stick together,” he said he told his players, according to a statement issued Tuesday. 

“We need both feet in. I need everybody to stay on the plantation. I can’t have anybody leave the plantation.”

McDermott, who is white, apologized for his “inappropriate” words in the same statement.

The 56-year-old called the 77-69 road loss “emotionally tough,” and wrote that he “immediately recognized my egregious mistake,” addressing the team over his words “quickly.”
